Thrift shop: Doing more for 40 years

By MIKE FORD mford@delphosherald.com the ladies were involved from the beginning or if they were merely responsible for its reopening. At some point early on, the ministry began operating from the former Lee Schimmoeller Poultry Shop with a rental agreement. The thrift shop later purchased the building with a $20,000 loan from the former Commercial Bank. The 10-year mortgage was paid off in two years, according to Dienstberger in 1996. However, the building was falling apart and was too small. Board President Carol Cunningham said the sorting area was just large enough for a couple of tables and four women to go through donations. It was in deplorable condition the one floor was sinking because it had no foundation; it was on sand. People became claustrophobic in there because it was so small, she said. We were growing and donations were increasing, so we had to have something bigger. Sometimes, we had to sort on the street because wed open up the drop-off and things would spill out. Nonetheless, the church ladies pressed on. There was a bicycle shop next door that closed and became the thrift shops toy store. Cunningham said different types of merchandise were organized as best as possible in limited space. We had a pantry but it was unorganized because there just wasnt any room. The jewelry was put on a

Temi Cano - Its good news, really good news. I think the war in Iraq is one of the reasons we have such a big deficit and we never shouldve been over there in the first place. Im glad the soldiers are coming home, the ones who have made it anyway. Weve lost so much over there. Not just the thousands who have died but the ones who were injured and are suffering and whose families are suffering.

Karen Burns - I have mixed feelings about it. Im not sure its really over but Im sure everyone wants their soldiers to come home.

Brad Hohenbrink - I think its a horrible mistake. Its just our idiot of a president trying to win re-election at the cost of ruining our chance for peace in the Middle East. I dont want our men over there but were the only cop on the block, so to speak.

I had an experience last weekend that has seemed to be repeating itself more and more. I shared my story with a few others and I have found that I am not alone in my distress. My distress? When did going to the bathroom become such a difficult thing? I dont mean going to the bathroom in the more personal sense of the word but perhaps using the bathroom would be the more correct way to say it. Let me recount by experience. I was traveling in a different part of Ohio and using a bathroom that was unfamiliar to me. I approached the sink, put my hands underneath the automatic soap dispenser successfully getting the perfect dime-size drop of soap. I rubbed my hands together, then proceeded to place my hands under the handle-less water faucet. I pondered: is this the wave-type of faucet? The touch type? The one where you use a foot touch? So, I waved my hands over and under, tapped and gave voice commands all to no avail as the soap became a gooey dried combobulation on my hands. There I stood, holding my soapy hands out in front of me, cursing technology. Was anyone watching me, laughing at me, using me as a guinea pig for some wicked type of water faucet experiment? I then decided to try those tactics on the adjacent faucet, thinking maybe the first one perhaps had a technical glitch. Finally, the perfectly-passed wave did the job and I shouted for joy as the water washed away the sticky mess from my hands. I truthfully am getting a complex about going into restrooms in places I have never visited. When I enter, I scope the scene watch-

Fraternity closed over rape survey

PSU coach says he saw, reported abuse

By MArK sCoLForo and MArYCLAire DALe Associated Press HARRISBURG, Pa. As soon as he walked into the Penn State locker room, Mike McQueary heard running water and rhythmic, slapping sounds of skin on skin. He looked in a mirror and saw a naked Jerry Sandusky, the former assistant coach, holding a young boy by the waist from behind, up against the wall in the campus shower. I just saw Coach Sandusky in the showers with a boy and what I saw was wrong and sexual, McQueary recalled telling his father that night in 2002. He repeated it the next morning to coach Joe Paterno, who slumped deep into his chair at his kitchen table. He said, Im sorry you had to see that, McQueary said. McQuearys testimony Friday at a preliminary hearing for two Penn State officials accused of covering up the story was the most detailed, public account yet of the child sex abuse allegations that have upended the universitys football program and the entire central Pennsylvania campus. Paterno and the university president have lost their jobs, and officials Tim Curley and Gary Schultz are accused of lying to a grand jury about what McQueary told them. A Pennsylvania judge on Friday held Curley, the universitys athletic director, and Schultz, a retired senior vice president, for trial after the daylong hearing. Curley said that McQueary never relayed the seriousness of what he saw, and said he was only told that Sandusky was horsing around with a boy but that his conduct wasnt sexual. He said he told the university president about the episode and the top official at a childrens charity that Sandusky founded, but never told university police. I didnt see any reason because I didnt think at the time it was a crime, he told the grand jury, according to testimony read into the record on Friday. Curley, Schultz and Paterno have been criticized for never telling police about the 2002 charges. Prosecutors say Sandusky continued to abuse boys for six more years. Sandusky has denied having inappropriate sexual contact with boys. In about two hours on the witness stand, McQueary said again and again that what he saw was a sexual act, although he stopped short of saying he was sure that Sandusky, now 67, had raped the boy. I believe Jerry was sexually molesting him and having some type of sexual intercourse with him, McQueary said on Friday. He said later he cant say 100 percent that Sandusky and the boy were having intercourse because he was seeing Sandusky from behind. He said after talking to his father, he went over to Paternos home the next morning and said that what he had seen was way over the lines, it was extremely sexual in nature. He said he would not have used words like sodomy or intercourse with Paterno; he did not get into that much detail out of respect for the coach, he said. Paterno told the grand jury that McQueary said he saw Sandusky doing something of a sexual nature with the youngster but that he didnt press for details. I didnt push Mike ... because he was very upset, Paterno said. I knew Mike was upset, and I knew some kind of inappropriate action was being taken by Jerry Sandusky with a youngster. Paterno told McQueary he would talk to others about what hed reported. McQueary said he met nine or 10 days later with Curley and Schultz and told them hed seen Sandusky and a boy, both naked, in the shower after hearing skin-onskin slapping sounds. I would have described that it was extremely sexual and I thought that some kind of intercourse was going on, said McQueary. McQueary said he was left with the impression both men took his report seriously. When asked why he didnt go to police, he referenced Schultzs position as a vice president at the university who had overseen the campus police I thought I was talking to the head of the police, to be frank with you, he said. In my mind it was like speaking to a (district attorney). It was someone who police reported to and would know what to do with it. The square-jawed, red-

ing others as they wash and dry their hands, trying to get a clue as to what awaits. Do they have those hand-blowers you just walk by and they go off unexpectedly, sounding like a 747 scaring the #?#?# out of you? Do they have the type you dip your hands in and out of or the kind you push to start? Or do they have the dispensers that wildly shoot streams of paper out at you? All of this and I have not yet even mentioned the toilets. To put it delicately they scare me sometimes. I wonder if someone is watching me and knows just the precise moment to SWISH! Occasionally, the timing of the swish can be a bit off and once again you are left in a not-so-pleasant predicament of figuring it all out in a place you dont really want to spend a lot of time. Im all for making life easier through modern inventions but I am not yet totally convinced the bathroom needs to be improved. All I need are the basics a clean bathroom with running water and some paper to wipe my hands. Makes you kind of wonder, though, what might be the next step they would surprise us with in the world of restroom technology. On the other hand, I just dont think I want to know.

MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) A University of Vermont fraternity whose members are accused of circulating a survey that asked who they would like to rape has been closed indefinitely. The national Sigma Phi Epsilon made the announcement Friday after an internal investigation and lengthy discussions with the university in Burlington. The national organization has said theres no indication the questionnaire was sanctioned by the fraternity or distributed to the more than 50 members of the Vermont chapter. A student reported the questionnaire to university officials over the weekend, which led the school and the national organization to suspend the chapter temporarily, pending the investigation. The school is investigating how widely the survey was circulated, and campus police are trying to determine if any crimes were committed. The survey prompted a womens rights and equality group to organize a rally Thursday in Burlington, attended by more than 200 people, some calling for the fraternity to be shut down.

haired assistant coach spoke in a steady voice in his first public account of the alleged abuse, sometimes turning his seat and leaning toward defense lawyers to answer questions. His voice rose a few times and he blushed once when describing the sexual encounter in the shower. Defense lawyers for Curley and Schultz argued that a perjury charge should not be based solely on a persons testimony under oath contradicting someone elses testimony. The defense said uncorroborated testimony from McQueary is not enough and sought to pick apart the ways he described the shower scene differently to different people. The defense noted that McQueary admitted changing his description of the shower encounter when speaking with Paterno enough so that the coach didnt believe a crime had occurred. McQueary said he had stopped by a campus football locker room to drop off a pair of sneakers in the spring of 2002 when he saw Sandusky with the boy, who he estimated was 10 or 12 years old. McQueary, 37, said he has never described what he saw as anal rape or anal intercourse and couldnt see Sanduskys genitals, but that it was very clear that it looked like there was intercourse going on. In its report last month, the grand jury summarized McQuearys testimony as saying he saw a naked boy ... with his hands up against the wall, being subjected to anal intercourse by a naked Sandusky.

Thrift

(Continued from page 1)

inexpensive and good quality, Cunningham said. One woman said she helped her grandson get through college by bringing him here for clothes because they couldnt afford to go to the stores. She continued: So, clothes are our big seller but the thrift shop also gives the community an opportunity to be giving. They give us so much beautiful stuff its amazing how good it is and some of its brand new. We also give people a place to volunteer and they give so much of their time. Since we have more room, weve been able to accept more in donations, so there is more to sort. We have more toys and we have books. My sister said we needed a boutique, so we started it and people saw the stuff that was in the boutique and gave us more because they know were not going to junk it. The thrift shop has had a food pantry throughout most of its years in ministry. However, Becky Strayer came on board as social services coordinator about three years ago and has expanded the variety of services. Strayer connected the thrift shop with the Ohio Benefits Bank, a state program that streamlines various publicand private-assistance programs through one application process. This makes the thrift shop the one place in town where those in need can apply for food stamps, energy assistance, prescription assistance and more. The thrift shop has helped people with utility bills for many years but doesnt have tons of cash available. Strayer said clients often come to her needing help with something like rent or their electricity. Paying the bill for them may not be possible but that doesnt mean the thrift shop cant help. The first thing we look at is are you employed? Have you applied for unemployment? Have you applied for food stamps? Sometimes, you can free up money for rent and utilities by getting food stamps. A lot of people may qualify but dont know it, she said. Strayer has also connected the thrift shop with the Salvation Army; pursued a grant from Midwest Electric, Inc., that enabled the shop to install a security system; and she is getting the ladies organized, turning part of the building into administrative spaces the thrift shop has never had before. However, organizational development means space is again maximized. Therefore, the thrift shop is expanding. We never had offices before. We never even had files and now, we do. The problem is, we dont have any room, Cunningham concluded. Since Becky came here, weve gotten in with the Salvation Army and the Ohio Benefits Bank thats all Beckys doing. All of these other social services have been added in the three years she has been here.

For the past 13 years, Delphos has had a Christmas Tree Festival at the Canal Museum. Although much of the work is done by trustees and volunteers, local groups play a big part. This year there are 30 trees decorated by groups and families: Special interest clubs: Delphos Quilters Club, Do-Right Motorcycle Club, Changing Times Mothers Club, Green Thumb Garden Club, Delphos Young Farm Wives, POW MIA group, Delphos Eagles Auxiliary, Divine Divas Red Hat Ladies, Red Hat Floozies, and VFW Ladies Auxiliary Civic groups: Relay for Life, Delphos Ladies Club, Van Crest, Community Health Professionals, and Delphos Senior Citizens Youth groups: Pathfinders 4-H, Jr. Optimists, St. Johns Teens Against Substance Abuse, Girl Scouts, and Kiwanis K-Kids Builders Club (7th and 8th Graders) Church groups: Columbian Squires, JCDA (Jr. Catholic Daughters of America), JCSA (Jr. Catholic Sons of America), CDA (Catholic Daughters of America), Ridge/Zion United Methodist Women, St. Peters Lutheran Church Sunday School, Landeck Catholic Ladies of Columbia, and Delphos Catholic Ladies of Columbia

A community Christmas at the museum

Some of these groups do a tree related to their club and others buy items which can later be given to the Delphos Community Christmas fund. For instance, the garden club always has a beautiful tree with decorations made out of natural materials and the quilters tree features handmade items using quilting fabrics. The Ridge/Zion church tree is filled with gloves and mittens and the Catholic Ladies of Columbia decorated with girls hair accessories which will be welcome gifts to children in the community. Not only groups are represented, there are also families. The Mueller family has shared a treasured nativity set with us for many years and this year 4 generations of the Virgil German family got together and spent a Saturday afternoon decorating a tree with kitchen gadgets which they will then donate to the Delphos Community Christmas Project. Maybe you or your family have something you would like to share with the community next year at the Tree Festival. Or maybe you can start a Christmas tradition as the German family is doing. If so, let us know. There is still time to see the festival this week-end or next. The museum will be open from 1-4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday afternoons.

Ohio jobless rate dips to 8.5 pct. in November

COLUMBUS (AP) Ohios unemployment rate saw its largest one-month decline in nearly 30 years during November amid improvement in the states job market and overall economy, and as thousands of the states jobless stopped searching for work, officials said Friday. Gov. John Kasich called the report encouraging. Joblessness dropped to 8.5 percent last month, from 9 percent in October, the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services said. The half-percentage-point dip was the largest since summer 1983 and pushed the states unemployment rate down to its lowest level since December 2008, said Ben Johnson, a department spokesman. The economy is getting better, the job market is improving, and slowly but surely Ohioans are getting

In 1947, Edmund Gwenn starred in a very popular movie entitled Miracle on 34th Street. The premise of the film was that this kindly old man was being considered insane because he believed that he was the real Santa Claus. His attorney argued that he was the real Santa Claus. His proof came from tens of thousands of letters that were delivered to the courtroom by none other than the United States Post Office Department. If the US government believed that he was Santa Claus how could a judge disagree. It was a cute story. I have fond memories as a young boy of going into the city and looking at all the store windows decorated for the holidays. Macys on 34th Street was always our first stop. Then we would go up Fifth Avenue and see the moving displays at Saks, Lord and Taylor, and FAO Schwartz. The last stop was always to my fathers office which was located in Bloomingdales Department Store. The Salvation Army always had a band playing with a jolly old Santa nearby. The street vendors had chestnuts roasting and those big soft pretzels with a ton of coarse salt. We would all go to the employees cafeteria and drink

hot chocolate and to rest from walking so much. Christmas was everywhere and my parents always used a great deal of care in picking out Christmas cards we would send to friends around the country. The cards were always something I loved to open. They were gold and glittery and filled with good wishes, family pictures and long letters to tell us about what was happening in their lives. There were no eCards and a social network was usually at someones home not in cyberspace. I know that people dont send cards like they used to for many reasons the costs and time to name a few. But I remember very clearly when I worked for the post office, the number of people that couldnt wait to get their hands on the new Christmas stamps. If we didnt have them in stock yet or ran out, we would certainly hear about it from our customers. Sending packages oh the truckloads I remember loading for weeks before Christmas and everyone wanted to know that last day that you could mail to Europe or one of the other continents and guarantee it would be there by Christmas. There were so many packages for our servicemen and women who were overseas

and some very special holiday gifts destined for VA hospitals all over the country. It was a time of giving, a time of sharing and everyone depended on the US mail to make the holidays bright. I know the news about the post office sounds grim; and mailing cards and packages can get a little expensive if you send to everyone you know. But stop and think for a moment. Think of someone who you havent talked to in a while and instead of picking up the phone, or sitting down at the computer, give that person something very special, very personal, and always appreciated. Not a generic newsletter that everyone gets. Give them something that is a part of you write them a letter in your own hand. Maybe even put it in a beautiful Christmas card. I guarantee you will fill that person with joy and happiness like no other present can give. When you care enough to send the very best there is nothing finer than your own words. I will be sending out many cards and letters this season, but for now, I want to thank you for taking the time to read my article and may your family enjoy a Merry Christmas, a Happy New Year and a glorious holiday season.

back to work, Johnson said. The unemployment rate went down in November as the state added jobs and as the labor market shrank because some 22,000 out-of-work Ohioans quit looking for jobs, he said. Ohio payrolls outside of farms grew by 6,000 in November, led by gains in services jobs. Meanwhile, at goods-producing industries, hiring in manufacturing was offset by losses in construction, the department said. The number of workers unemployed in Ohio has fallen by 69,000 in the past 12 months, going down to 496,000 in November, from 526,000 in October. The states jobless rate has declined by more than two full percentage points since the height of the recession, and in November was below the national rate of 8.6 percent.

A life of leisure and a life of laziness are two things. Poor Richards Almanack.

Ralph Brickner purchases West Side Bakery

A business deal has been completed by which a change is made in the ownership of the West Side Bakery. Farley and Boise, who have owned the business for several years past, have sold it to Ralph Brickner, who is to become sole proprietor of the business. He will take charge on Wednesday morning. John Boise, one of the members of the retiring firm, has been the baker since Farley and Boise took charge. He will continue in that capacity under the new ownership but will not be financially interested in the concern. Lawrence Farley, the other retiring partner, has not decided as to his plans for the future. Mr. Brickner was born west of Delphos and has spent his entire life here. He is well and favorably known and his wide acquaintance will aid in making his new business venture a success. Delphos Herald, July 7, 1925 ----------

BOB HOLDGREVE

Window to the Past

Apr. 15, 1899 ---------Officers Raid Two Homes in Delphos Van Wert officers conducted raids in Delphos on Friday evening and Saturday, one arrest and the capture of a still and some mash and liquor. On Friday night, Sheriff Johnson and his deputies visited the home of John Grewe, 723 West First street. They state they found a still in operation in the kitchen, also a barrel containing about thirty gallons of mash and quart bottle of liquor. Grewe was placed under arrest and was taken to Van Wert. He was arraigned before Squire Gilpin at that place and was fined $200 and costs. Arrangements for payment was made and he was released. On Saturday afternoon, the officers paid another visit to Delphos and made a search at the home of Harry Brink, South Canal street. Nothing was found at the Brink home, however. Delphos Herald, July 6, 1925 ---------Hoosiers Will Drive Motor Cars Through Delphos A tour arranged by Hoosier automobile manufacturers in which fifty cars are to take part hauling about 200 drivers and inspectors, was started from Indianapolis Tuesday morning and the cars are scheduled to pass through Delphos Wednesday, but the time of arrival here has not been announced. It is presumed, however, that the cars will not reach here until some time in the afternoon, as they are scheduled to reach Lima late Wednesday afternoon and will spend the night in that city. The event was arranged by manufacturers of power driven pleasure and commercial cars in Indiana, not as a race, but as an exhibition tour and only manufacturers of that state were allowed to enter. The tour started from Indianapolis and will extend through Ohio, Kentucky and West Virginia. The cars travel in a uniform line and will take the same relative positions in the line each day. Delphos Herald, July 9, 1912 ---------Coupe Goes Into Ditch A four-passenger coupe driven by L.C. Laudick was backed over an embankment into a ditch along the Lincoln Highway, west of Delphos, Wednesday evening. The Mueller Implement & Auto Co. wrecking car placed the machine on the road and it was driven to Delphos on its own power. The only damage was a bent running board and fender. Delphos Herald, July 2, 1925 ---------Joseph Stallkamp Escapes Serious Injury Joseph Stallkamp, 5-yearold son of Mr. and Mrs Paul Stallkamp, was fortunate in escaping serious injury Wednesday night when he was struck by a Ford coupe on Main Street just south of Second. The lad started across the street and stepped in front of a car that was driven by a Mr. Friesner, of Middle Point. The machine was not moving rapidly but the boy was thrown to the street, falling in such a manner that the car passed over him without the wheels striking him. A bump on the head was

One Year Ago Local artist and Architectural Blacksmith Michael Bendele recently finished and installed the 3-piece relief sculpture he fashioned for the Delphos Public Library, work that was commissioned for the library using money from the estates of Bendeles late aunt, Alba Landwehr, and her brother Reno Bianchi. The piece, which pictures a child immersed in a book with a backdrop of bookshelves, was created using the same process and material Bendele used for The Great Doors of St. John The Evangelist Catholic Church. 25 Years Ago 1986 The Commercial Bank recently promoted several employees to executive positions. Ronald R. Elwer was promoted from vice president and loan manager to senior vice president for loans; Paul G. Wreede, promoted from vice president and comptroller to executive vice president; and Elvin A. J. Patton, promoted from vice president and cashier to senior vice president of operations. Bluffton handed Ottoville girls a 60-36 loss Tuesday night at Ottoville. Angie Hilvers led Ottoville with 10 points and 16 rebounds. Jan Schnipke had nine points and seven rebounds and Lynn Ruen pulled down six rebounds. The auxiliary to the Fraternal Order of Eagles presented a $200 check to Delphos Public Library Tuesday as a gesture of support to the library for its services to the elderly. Taking part in the presentation were library director Nancy Mericle, Bernie Hasenkamp, auxiliary junior past madam president and Esther Lemke, auxiliary vice president.

IT WAS NEWS THEN

50 Years Ago 1961 Coach Bob Arnzens Blue Jays could do no wrong Friday night, as they stunned the Kenton Wildcats by a score of 83-52, in a game played at the local gym. Possession of the ball proved to be one of the big factors in the Blue Jay victory. Junior Gene Klaus led the field in points with 22, Charlie Ellis dumped in 13, Dan Grothouse 14 and Roger Pothast contributed 10. The Altar-Rosary Sodality of Ottoville held its annual Christmas party recently following a brief business. Andy Huber showed pictures taken on his recently trip to Europe, after which a delicious potluck luncheon was served. The committee to serve at the January meeting consists of Mrs. Henry Schweller and Mrs. Albert Smith, co-chairladies., Mrs. Rudolph Hoehn, Mrs. Waalter Schmitt, Mrs. Leo Heitmeyer, Mrs. Alfred Ricker, Mrs. Lee Kortokrax, Mrrs.

The dinner was served at the R.R. Crossing Phelan Hotel and was followed by contract at the McMahon Again the Scene home on North Pierce Street. of Trouble It was mentioned several days ago that the Northern Ohio took up the crossing that was put in by the C.L. & M. railroad people, at the junction of the two roads, east of Rimer, and a N.O. engine again blocks the way and a force of men are on hand to prevent the construction of a similar crossing. The C.L. & M. agreed to put in an interlocker, but instead laid an ordinary crossing, which was promptly removed by the N.O. people. Roadmaster Beatty is again master of the location, and a gang of men were taken to the crossing Friday night from Delphos, on a special train. Injunctions and orders from the court seem to carry little weight in this matter, as the C.L. & M. instead is disregarding them all. The prediction is ventured that before the managers of the new road get through with the matter, they will see that it would have been cheaper to put in an interlocker at the start. Delphos Herald,

Local Methodists Represented at County Meet The congregation of the Delphos Methodist Church will send a large representation to the Allen County Methodist Field Day which is to be held at the Faurot Park, Lima, on Thursday. The meeting promises to be a most interesting one. Governor A.V. Donehey will be present and will be the speaker of the day. One of the most interesting features of the day will be a baseball game which will be played at 10 a.m. with the Preachers meeting the Sun-School Superintendents. Rev. W.A. Deaton, pastor of the local church, will participate in this game. He will likely play first base for the preachers. Whether or not the local congregation will be represented on the opposing team is not certain. Delphos Herald, July 7, 1925 ----------

Delphos Herald, July 2, 1925 ---------Congress Declares, Less Laws are Needed Too many laws is the great danger of the United States today, according to Congressman John Cable, who, in an address delivered at Gomer, on the Fourth, declared his belief that the great need is for less laws. Mr. Cable said in part: Every American realizes the great worth of his American independence, in addressing a patriotic meeting of citizens held here Saturday. To secure and protect that Independence, those 56 men signed the Declaration of Independence and pledged to each other their lives, their fortunes and their most sacred honor. Wars have been fought and won in defense of that independence, it may be threatened from without but the real danger of its loss lies from within by the enactment of too many laws both State and Federal. Delphos Herald, July 6, 1925 ---------Prehistoric Relic Found After a search running for eight years, the broken point of an Indian spear has been plowed up by a farmer on the ground of Fort Ancient, Warren County. The two pieces have been joined and show a spear head seven and one-quarter inches long, of glistening white quartzite, the largest one of that material ever discovered. Delphos Herald, July 9, 1912 ---------Big Corn Show at Ft. Jennings The official premium list for the Ft. Jennings corn show is out, and judging from past shows of this nature held in the little Putnam County town, and the number of prizes offered this year, the show on January 18 and 19, 1911, is going to be a hummer. The generous merchants of Ft. Jennings have donated prizes for the winners in the various classes, and liberal cash prizes are also hung up. The merchants prizes are open only to members of the association. All exhibits must be raided in Putnam County in the year 1910. Liberal Ft. Jennings people contributed to a fund to defray the expenses of the corn show. The cash prizes offered are: $1 for ear having largest number of rows of corn; $1 for most perfect nubbin; $1 for largest ear in circumference. In the grand championship contest, open to Putnam County, $5 for the best ten ears; best individual ear, $3; best ten yellow ears, first prize $4; second, $2.50; third, $1.50; fourth, $1 Prizes for same amount for best ten white ears. All corn becomes the property of the Institute and will be sold at auction on the day of Jan. 19, by A.C. Kortier. Delphos Herald, Jan. 13, 1911 ---------Photographer F.E. Smith F.E. Smith, the photographer, has purchased a large Kodak from the Eastern Kodak Company, of Rochester, N.Y., which is designed for instantaneous outdoor photography. He successfully kodaked a dog this morning as it jumped into the air after a ball. It will take a picture of any swiftly moving object. Delphos Herald, Aug. 20, 1895 ---------Anniversary of Washingtons Death Observed by Red Men Cuyadetta Tribe No. 138, including Shawnee Council No. 32, Impd Order Red Men, observed the 100th

anniversary of the death of George Washington, at their wigwam on Thursday evening in a very patriotic manner. Quite a large number of members of the order and others were present, and the singing of America by the audience was done with much feeling. Prayer was offered by the Prophet, Dr. H.G. Steman, and Andrew Lautzenheiser, Master of Ceremonies, gave the opening talk, stating the object of the meeting, etc. D.E. Baxter, Jr., then assumed charge of the memorial meeting and read an extended history of the life of Washington, his work, and his splendid qualities, etc., sent to all the lodges for the occasion at the order of the Great Incohonee. A large picture of Washington was unveiled by Mr. Baxter. The Dienstberger family furnished instrumental music and a recitation by little Miss Brickner was well done. J.A. Brotherton gave a patriotic address while Mayor Cochran also made a few remarks. Delphos Herald, Dec. 22, 1899 ---------The Second Army has completed plans for carrying out the program for return of World War II dead in the Second Army area. It is the desire of the government that all military personal who died in the service be given appropriate burial honors.

Ford, had a narrow escape Tuesday evening while driving to Delphos on the Lima road about two and a half miles east of Delphos. They drove up behind a load of hay and not noticing an automobile approaching from the west, when they attempted to drive around on the left side of the hay wagon, were met by the auto which had turned to the right. The machine struck the front wheel of the buggy and it was drug for some distance before the machine was brought to a stop. Mr. Ford was thrown out of the buggy, landing on the radiator of the auto and his right arm was badly bruised. The horse broke loose from the rig and ran for some distance before being stopped by parties who had noticed the accident. The ladies were not thrown out of the rig and escaped injury. The auto was slightly damaged but there was little damage to the buggy. the auto was occupied by Allen County Commissioner and Mrs. A.L. Fischer, who were returning to their home in Lima after spending the day in Delphos. ---------They Gambled Will Hemp, a young fellow from Lima, entered a Main street saloon last night and shook the dice with the bartender for cigars. They soon commenced betting, Kemp putting up a dollar each whirl. It seems that the bartender did not put up his stake money and a young crippled fellow who was in the saloon held Kemps money. The affair ended in a row and the bartender and Kemp were both fined $18.50 before the Mayor this morning for gambling. Kemp is still a lodger at the police station, being without funds.

Jays stymie cold-shooting Minster in MAC opener

By JIM METCALFE jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com MINSTER When a team hits only eight field goals in a boys basketball game and shoots 20.5 percent from the field (8-of39, including 1-of-16 3-pointers), chances are they wont have much of a chance at a win. That is what the Minster Wildcats did against invading St. Johns Friday night at Minster Elementary School Gymnasium. The result was a 39-22 Blue Jay win to open the Midwest Athletic Conference slate. One of our defensive goals going into every game is to contest at least 90 percent of the opposing teams shots. If they can make shots with a hand in their face, give them credit, Jays coach Aaron Elwer noted. I felt we did a great job defending (Doug) Huber. He is a physical presence in the paint and we really limited his touches. Our primary defenders: (junior) Seth (Bockey) and (sophomore) Cody (Looser); did a great job but we had a lot of good weak-side help when he did get the ball. It wasnt that the Wildcats (0-3, 0-1 MAC) man-to-man defense was all that bad; it was pretty good against the Jays high-motion dribble-drive offense (14-of-38 shooting, 4-of17 long range, for 36.8%). It was just that the Jays man-to-man defense was even better. Our defense was pretty good, veteran Minster coach Mike Lee explained. I feel that when you hold a team to 39 points, that is generally a win. We played pretty hard defensively. We didnt lose it there. In fact, the Blue Jay was so good that it gave up one free throw (Adam Niemeyers toss at 1:12) and the hosts missed all 11 shots they took in the first period. The Jays were 3-of-12 not exactly stellar but good enough to lead 8-1 on a 3-ball by senior Alex Clark (9 points, all on 3s) from the left wing with 40 ticks on the clock. The Wildcats heated up comparatively in the second period they hit 4-of-12 shots. They scored their first fielder at 7:15 on a basket by Andrew Knapke and they did get as close as 12-10 on a fielder by Brandon Hoying. However, that is as close as they would get the rest of the night as junior Curtis Geise (9 markers, 5 assists, 5 boards) hit a hanger in the lane at 1:40 for a 14-10 halftime score. Despite their cold-shooting ways, the hosts stayed close in the third period, twice getting within two points, the final time at 19-17 on a fallaway from the left elbow by Devon Poeppelman with 2:36 showing on the clock. However, the Jays ran off the last seven: a triple by Clark (2:20), two tosses by Looser (1:32) and two singles by Geise with .4 of a second remaining; to seize a 26-17 advantage. The Jays took that trend into the fourth period and continued to build their lead from the start. They finished 5-of-7 shooting in the stanza and the final margin of victory was the largest of the night. I always worry about our conditioning, especially early on as we are, and turnovers. Its only day 13 for us as a group, Elwer added. I feel that as we keep at it, well start hitting some of those shots. Weve been taking care of the ball well so far. We also outrebounded our second straight opponent. We arent huge but we have some good length. Were just going to have to rebound as a team, too. One key stat was the Jays outboarding the bigger Wildcats 32-25 (9-9 offensive) as Bockey and classmate Ryan Buescher each nabbed six. They both turned it over 11 times as senior Tanner Calvelage grabbed four steals for the Blue and Gold. Both units added 13 fouls. The Jays visit Celina 6 p.m. Thursday. I thought wed see improvement after a big struggle Tuesday (against Houston); I didnt see it. I think we got worse, Lee added. Credit St. Johns for some of that. We also had turnovers in stretches not many overall but just enough that led to some easy baskets for them. In a low-possession game, those are killers. Huber was the top board man for the Wildcats with eight. They host Sidney Lehman Catholic Thursday. In the junior varsity contest, the Wildcats (3-0) opened a 15-3 lead after one quarter and held on for a 42-37 victory. Wes Hegemann dropped in 11 for the hosts and A.J. Huelsman 10.

Jefferson forces double-OT against Crestview but falls short in NWC

By MALLORY KEMPER The Delphos Herald mkemper2011@hotmail.com DELPHOS Jefferson hosted the unbeaten Crestview Knights Friday night and forced double-overtime but fell short 47-45 in a Northwest Conference-opening boys basketball clash at The Stage. The Wildcats fell to 1-4 overall and 0-1 in the NWC, while Crestview improved to 3-0 and 1-0 in the league. Jefferson outscored Crestview 14-7 in the fourth quarter to send the game into overtime tied at 38. Senior Shayn Klinger scored the first bucket of the overtime for the home team but Crestview responded with a jumper from Nick Adam. The Knights went ahead 42-40 with 40 seconds left but senior Tony George pulled down an offensive rebound and a putback sent the game into double overtime. With a Damian Helm jumper, Crestview went ahead 45-43 with 1:40 on the clock. Senior Nick Dunlap drove and pulled up for the 10-foot jumper for a tie game but Adam took control of the ball and with eight seconds left on the clock put his team ahead 47-45. Jefferson had a couple of shots at the basket but nothing would fall for the Wildcats as they lost their first NWC game of 2011. Both teams played extremely hard and they were both well-prepared but hats off to Nick Adam for making a great play and thats why he is an all-league player, Jefferson coach Marc Smith said. In the first quarter, Dunlap scored seven of the 10 Wildcats

Elida boys hold off late-charging Redskins to begin WBL

By FRANK GERMAN The Delphos Herald fjohngerman@gmail.com Newby to make the spread a 13-pointer again after Wapak made a free throw. Bertram nailed a 3-pointer out of his game-high 17 points from the top of the key with 2:17 left to make it a 10-point ball game. He did not stop there and hit another 3-pointer from the left wing just 10 seconds later as Elida was now up by only seven points. Bertram put in a layup that made it a 5-point deficit at the 1:29 mark. Elida senior Reggie McAdams had a shot to rewiden the lead but missed the front end of 1-and-1. Wapak sent Elidas Dakota Mathias to the line with 34 seconds left. The sophomore took advantage of the charity stripe in making both of the bonus for a 7-point ball game. The Redskins Alex Greve popped a trey with 25 seconds left to pull the visitors within four points. Wapak was forced to foul and Mathias got hit the front end of the bonus with 17 seconds left in the game, putting them up 46-41. The last attempt of Wapak came with only five seconds left with 3-pointer put up by Andy Faller. The shot hit the rim and Elida got the rebound to run out the clock. I was pleased defensively, even in the fourth quarter, Elida coach Denny Thompson expressed. They hit a couple of 3-pointers on us but we hand on them. We had poor execution offensively tonight. I have a smart group of kids and they will go back to work. The first quarter looked like it was going to be a close game. Wapak scored first at the 5:16 spot, with Bertram delivering his first points on the night. McAdams answered 30 seconds later with a layup. Elida got a 3-point lead with 2:57 left in the quarter from a layup by junior Aric Thompson. Wapak retook the lead with 42 seconds left by Brandon Miller off a tipped pass by a teammate for the bunny shot. Mathias then started to take control with five unanswered points: a 3-pointer with 16 seconds left and then beat the buzzer with a layup; as Elida led 12-8 at the end of one. I stood on a soap box all week and preached to the team about competing on the defense end and we certainly did that tonight. I do not know when McAdams was held to four points, Wapakoneta coach Matt Bradley relayed.

Two back-to-back buckets from George brought the Wildcats within four, 26-22, to start the third quarter. At the 1:50 mark, Adam hit a 3-pointer to give Crestview a 31-24 lead going into the fourth quarter. The Wildcats went on a 6-1 run to tie the game with two free throws from George. A steal and layin from Cameron Etzler put the Knights on top at the 1:05 mark. Sophomore Austin Jettinghoff hit a trey with 54 seconds left on the clock to put Jefferson ahead 38-36 but the Knights once again responded with a Dallis Gibson bucket to send the game into overtime. I thought Jefferson did a good job coming back the second half executing their offense, Crestview coach Jeremy Best said.

ELIDA The Elida boys basketball crew seemingly had a rout in hand as they hosted Wapak Friday night at the Fieldhouse in the Western Buckeye League season opener for both teams. They held an 18-point lead to start the final quarter but needed to hold on for a 46-41 victory. Defense was paramount for both teams in the contest. The game started out close in the first quarter but Elida pulled away and started out the fourth quarter up 35-17. The Bulldogs seemed to have a blow-out locked up, scoring the first points of the fourth quarter from Cory Royster with a putback to spread the lead to 20 points. The Redskins kept trying to chip away at the deficit but they had only gained one point on Elida by the 5:11 mark. The game looked done at this point: however, Wapak began to fight back in earnest, with Jake Buzzard knocking down a jumper. Travis Bertram got into the act, knocking down two free throws with 4:21 left, then nailing a 3-pointer to pull Wapak within 12 points. Elida got a bunny shot from Jeremy

Bakers 31 leads Ada over Spencerville 65-63

By Jim Cox Times Bulletin Correspondent SPENCERVILLE - Ada seniors Konnor Baker and Bobby Steiner scored 31 and 20 points, respectively, to lead the Bulldogs to a big Northwest Conference opening win over Spencerville Friday night, 65-63. Ada is now 3-0 overall, 1-0 in the NWC. Spencerville is 1-3 and 0-1. It was a barnburner from start to finish. Ada entered the fourth period with a 45-39 lead but it didnt last. Spencervilles Dan Binkley started the last eight minutes with a straightaway 3, then swished two freebies to cut it to one at 45-44. Bulldog Cole Simons elbow shot pushed the lead to three but a nifty baby hook by Derek Goecke cut it to one at 47-46. With 4:34 left in the game, Binkleys stellar spin move and scoop shot, followed by the and-1, got the lead back for the first time in the second half, 49-47. Senior Eli Bowers runout stretched the lead to four, 51-47. An epidemic of missed free throws then started to erode the home teams lead. Baker nailed a 10-foot baseliner -- 51-49. Spencerville missed two straight front ends and Adas Austin Weber made them pay with two free throws to tie it at 51. The Cats missed both ends of a 2-shot foul but Baker missed neither end of his 1-and-1 to put the Dogs on top for good, 53-51, at 2:27. Steiner missed both ends of an Ada double bonus but Spencerville misfired; Baker rattled in a 10-foot angle shot

I think when you go 14-of-48 from the field and only lose by five, that says a lot about our defense. Elida defended us as well tonight. The second quarter was played out very similar to the first. Elida got another spread of four points in the quarter. The difference this time, though, was Elida scored first and Wapak last for a 22-14 end of the second quarter. The third quarter is where Elida pulled away from Wapak, which would be crucial for them to hold on for the win. Mathias hit two 3-point shots within 34 seconds to start out the quarter. This gave Elida a 14-point lead 58 seconds into the quarter. Wapak got its first point from the charity stripe at 4:51 in the third. Elida then pulled away to a 20-point lead at the 2:04 mark with a bunny shot by Newby. The last points of the quarter were two of Wapaks two for the period, Bertram once again with 17 seconds left on a small hook from 7 feet out. The quarter ended with an Elida lead of 35-17. Wapakoneta falls to 1-3 overall and 0-1 in the WBL. They travel to St. Henry tonight. Elida improves to 5-0 overall and 1-0 in the WBL. They host Coldwater on Thursday night.

The Herald 9

Tomorrows Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol
SUNDAY, DECEMBER 18, 2011 Youre likely to get numerous opportunities in the year ahead to successfully utilize your natural sales abilities and promotional skills. There will be a huge market out there for what you have to offer, so make the most of it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23Dec. 21) -- Your judgment in most everything you do will be quite keen, with one exception: You might have difficulty being prudent in your financial affairs. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Some kind of problem that has stymied your ambitions for a long time could finally take a turn for the better. As these barriers begin to crumble like an off-brand cookie, victory will heave into view. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Youll have the potential to reap some substantial gains from certain joint endeavors. This rare window wont last very long, so you must act on things immediately. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -Anyone who isnt directly involved in your financial affairs shouldnt be allowed to audit your books. Input from an outsider will likely only generate more liability. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -It isnt too wise to get involved with people whose objectives are totally different from yours. Youll each be going in a different direction and will do nothing for one another. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Dedicate your time to something worthwhile when your inner urges impel you to be industrious. Instead of wasting your time lying about, do what needs to be done. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Even if financial conditions are a bit tight, dont borrow any money for frivolous activities. Youll be able to iron out your affairs much quicker if you avoid waste. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- When making a deal, you shouldnt agree to terms that are of no advantage to you. You hold a stronger bargaining position than you realize -- use it. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Most impediments youll face will be figments of your own fertile imagination. All you have to do is swing into action and youll quickly find this out for yourself. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -Boasting about your material worth wont impress anybody but you. Your friends will be more stirred by your humility than they are by your purported greenbacks. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Most of your chums will find you to be an extremely pleasant and refreshing person to be around. However, if anybody should poll your family, theyre likely to find a totally different verdict. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -This could be one of those days when everything seems to take a second effort. Grin and bear it, because youll be smiling when you find out how wonderful everything turns out. MONDAY, DECEMBER 19, 2011 Getting involved with large groups or organizations in the year ahead could produce a number of excellent, peripheral benefits for you, such as many new friends. This is an especially good time to become a joiner. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- If you dont appear to be overly anxious or eager a buyer, you should be able to negotiate a much better price for what you want. Dont hesitate to dicker like the dickens. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19) -- Because youre full of new ideas and especially good at conceptualizing what to do with them, theres little doubt youll implement your plans in a sober, prudent and feasible manner. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Dont hesitate to remind someone of his or her obligations if it seems like this person is ignoring them. If you dont, your chances of receiving what is owed you will be slimmer than a supermodel. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Something that youre hoping to obtain is in your grasp if you are able to regroup and try again when necessary. Dont give up on the first go-around. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -To your credit, you have the stick-toitiveness necessary to face and conquer the most challenging situations, mostly because of your persistence and ability to think on the fly. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -Follow the same game plan that led you to sweet victory before, because theres no reason why it wouldnt work again. Theres an old saying: When it isnt broke, dont fix it. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -In endeavors where you are trying to develop a second source of income, operate along familiar lines where you know you have a chance for success. Stick to what you know. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -Of all the signs, you are the one who usually derives the greatest benefits from being protective of those who mean a lot to you. This is likely to be true for you once again. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Adopt an industrious attitude, because your earning potential is especially strong at this time, and it should be taken advantage of. Operate along your usual lines and youll have success. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Opportunities exist for you to revitalize an old relationship that once meant a lot to you. Dont ignore this chance, because who knows how long itll be before youll get it again. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Use your imagination to visualize the manner in which an important situation could resolve itself. Chances are you should be able to successfully follow its blueprint to rock-solid success. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -Treat an important situation with the seriousness it deserves, especially when you know reorganization is called for. Once you make the necessary changes, favorable results will occur.
