Upfront
By MIKE FORD mford@delphosherald.com DELPHOS Among the several hundred nursing homes in the state, the Ohio Department of Aging has ranked the Sarah Jane Living Center in Delphos eighth in resident satisfaction. Administrator Mick Murphy says the department conducts evaluations every year, just as it did at the end of 2011. This survey is conducted every-other year. One year, they determine family satisfaction and the other year, its resident satisfaction. We had reviewers from the Ohio Department of Aging come in at the end of last year and they interviewed residents, he said. The overall score was 96.7. Murphy said it was based on questions regarding a variety of offerings. They asked questions about different things and determined our residents are happy with our food, our nursing care, our nurse aide care and our activities, he said. We have an excellent activities department that keeps our residents active throughout

the day. They sleep better at night; a lot of times in a nursing home, people get their days and nights mixed up and our activities staff does a fantastic job thats one piece. The other is our compassionate, resident-centered care. We have longevity with our nurses and nurses aides. Because were a small facility, we get to know our residents so well we can sometimes anticipate a need before it arises because we know peoples routines so well. The Sara Jane Living Center has a capacity for 28 residents. Murphy said they are 3/4-full at just under 20. Roselawn Manor Nursing Home in Spencerville also scored well, at 98.9. Administrator Shanna Holland echoed Murphys comments when she attributed the success to keeping their nurses for several years so they build relationships with residents, as well as their level of compassion and continued training. Its amazing and since were celebrating 75 years of service, this is just another achievement to put underneath our belt, she said.

Elida Avenue to finally be fixed

In addition to repaving, the road will be widened from The Point to Douglas Street. A lane is supposed to be 12 feet wide and this will bring the roadway into compliance. The property to be used is already in the citys ownership because it is in the right-of-way, according to Berquist. He added that L&W will contribute to the cost, having damaged part of the streets north edge when it tapped into city pipes under the road. Berquist said the local funds will come from permissive taxes extending from gasoline sales. The city will also conduct its normal, less-expensive patchwork on other streets. The other projects will come out of our normal routine street fund. Were going to tar

and chip the Jefferson Street extension, which is the Stadium Park parking lot; Eighth Street almost in its entirety; Jackson Street, Third Street from State Street to Jefferson Street; and First Street from Franklin Street to Pierce Street, he said. The city will also add in routine painting, from the stripes in the road to crosswalks and more near schools. The tarring and chipping comes out to about $37,000. Then, well do about $3,400 worth of painting. Well stripe where its needed and every year, we repaint the school bar stops and striping for the schools we paint school in the street and the stop bars are the bars in the street that tell you where to stop. Then, we also have crosswalks and school ahead signs. All this needs to be done every year because the Ohio Department of Transportation uses waterbased paint that doesnt last long, he concluded.

To help raise money for new playground equipment for the Ottoville Park, a 5K and 1/2 mile fun run/walk will be held on April 14 at the Ottoville Park in Ottoville. Registration will begin at 9:30 a.m. with the fun run beginning at 10 a.m. and the 5K beginning at 11 a.m. Runners will register at the Ottoville Parish Center in the old gym.

9-1-1 Coordinator Brandt serves as a lifeline in emergencies

By Lindsay McCoy Times Bulletin news writer VAN WERT The 911 system is something every child is taught about early in school and is an important piece of technology in our community. There is much more involved than just taking a 911 call and relaying the information to the proper responders. Van Wert 911 Coordinator Kim Brandt has the large responsibility of making sure everything runs the way that it is supposed to. As 9-1-1 coordinator, Brandts work encompasses anything that has to do with dispatching, communications and making sure dispatchers have the proper certification and continued education. She is also in charge of all equipment. If there are any issues with the technology, Brandt takes the initiative to get things working correctly again. Once in a great while, if I am in dispatch and someone cant make it to a call, I will even answer a 9-1-1 call, Brandt included while describing her duties. Brandt did not always play such an important role in the Van Wert community. She is originally from Decatur, Ind. Thirty-one years ago, she married her husband, Cary, and moved to the Van Wert area where his farm was located. In 1999, Brandt answered a help-wanted ad for 9-1-1 operations and was hired on as coordinator in February of 2000. Its always the people, said Brandt. The people you work with is what makes this

job so worth the time and responsibility. April marks National 9-1-1 Education Month and provides an increased opportunity for Brandt to get out into the public and work with the community. She has been working on a series of articles regarding 9-1-1, telling what is going on during the month. The second week of April is also National Telecommunicators Week. This is the week that the community honors the dispatchers for the work that they do. Brandt also provides an open invitation to all the schools in the area for a free program. Unfortunately, Brandt has noticed schools seem to have less time for outside programs but this hasnt caused her to stop offering her help to educate county children. I always get invited to Calvary Preschool for the kids there, remarked Brandt. And we welcome people asking us to do this and we will go wherever we are wanted. As coordinator, Brandt

is also working to purchase new equipment. The current equipment will be at its endlife at the end of 2014, which is rapidly approaching. If a piece of equipment would reach its end-life and then break down, it could not be fixed. Brandt realizes that it is very important to the community to replace this equipment before this happens. Things are changing for us just like they are changing in the everyday world because of the digital age. It is affecting 9-1-1, too. The systems are not in place yet but with the new equipment we should be able to get texts through 9-1-1, Brandt explained. Since starting, Brandt noted the biggest change she has seen has come due to cell phones. Landlines automatically send in address and phone number information when a call is made, so dispatchers often know right where they are needed. However, cell phones present variables such as signal strength that can slow help from dispatchers. Luckily, Van Werts maps are very accurate. Another new feature Brandt has seen is voiceover IP calls. This involves calls made to 9-1-1 over an Internet connection service program such as Magic Jack or Vonage. Often with such calls, the customer is responsible for setting up their address with the service, which can often leave 9-1-1 with no information if the customer has not taken the time to set it up. This is one of the many corners that Brandt has had to turn as 9-1-1 coordinator.

Auxiliary taps Thompson, Recker for Buckeye Girls State

Information submitted DELPHOS Two seniors-to-be, one from Jefferson High School and one from St. Johns, will be among the 900 girls participating in the 66th annual session of Buckeye Girls State at the University of Mount Union June 10-16. It is a fast-paced program of mock government at the state, county and city levels. The main objective of the Girls State program is to train young women, who have completed their junior year in a senior high school, in the duties, rights and privileges of citizenship by providing the attendee the opportunity to actively participate in a democratic form of government. The local delegate from Jefferson High School is Destiny Thompson, daughter of Ann Thompson. She is active in student council, choir, band, NHS, SADD, FCA and in the Canal Days Queen Pageant. Alternate from Jefferson is Corinne Metzger, daughter of Teresa Metzger.

And so it begins ...

Have you ever needed a shower? Well, duh. Thats kind of a dumb question, isnt it? We usually need a shower after doing things like getting up in the morning, sweating out a vigorous workout, hanging out in the barn, taking a mud bath...wait a minute. Taking a mud bath? How often does one do that? Well, some ladies may try it at a spa of some sort as a skin treatment or something but thats not what I mean. Have you ever felt like youve taken a mud bath by the time the 6:30 p.m. newscast was over? Any given days top stories from around the world and the U.S. are almost guaranteed to leave you feeling worse off than they found you but most of us are probably so desensitized to it that we dont notice. Im pretty sure Im in that boat but theres another type of mud I just cant seem to not be bothered by. Imagine living in a world where ones environment is filled with a constant drum beat. Every waking hour is lived with a constant thumping; a consistent thud, thud, thud, thud, thud, thud that doesnt stop. How unsettling would this be? Now turn it off. Aaahhhhh. Silence. Isnt that the most peaceful music you have ever heard? Its like comparing smooth jazz to heavy metal. This type of percussion stimulates our fight-or-flight response; it winds us up. However, a longer

note from a trumpet or a woodwind instrument can be relaxing. One sounds like morse code and the others dont. The former makes me think of what a home environment is like when the television is on. A constant barrage of 30-second spots, at a higher volume or frequency than regular programming, hits us like a drumbeat. Now, add propaganda to it and what do you have? The felt need for a shower after entertaining political commercials every evening. The president has started his ads; I first noticed it on Wednesday. Then, Thursday I saw the same ad (during the same network newscast), directly followed by an antiObama ad ran by some third party group with a vested interest in the campaign. Sigh. Since the election isnt until November, this is going to be a long road. Thank God for the mute button. Better yet, thank God for the off button and a newspaper for information on the days events.

Navy jet crashes into Va, apartments, pilots eject

By Zinie CHen sAMPson Associated Press VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. A fighter jet that malfunctioned just after takeoff hurtled into a Virginia Beach apartment complex on Friday in a spectacular crash that sent flames and black smoke billowing from the rubble. The two pilots managed to eject just before impact, suffering minor injuries along with five others on the ground. Several residents described hearing a loud explosion and looking out their windows to see the red and orange blaze. In the confusion that followed, two men helped one of the bloodied pilots from the two-seat F18 Hornet move to safety. Oh, my God, I heard three really loud explosions, then the black smoke went up high in the sky, said 71-year-old Felissa Ezell, who lives in a townhouse near the crash site. By evening, emergency crews were searching through the charred remains of the complex, where some 40 apartment units were damaged or destroyed. No fatalities had been reported. Seven people, including the pilots from nearby Naval Air Station Oceana, were taken to a hospital. All except one of the pilots were released by late afternoon. Virginia Beach Fire Department Capt. Tim Riley said more than two dozen residents remained unaccounted for, although all but the six most damaged apartments had been searched. What Im praying for, what Im thinking about now is that we dont find any more victims, Virginia Beach Mayor Will Sessoms told reporters. The plane had dumped loads of fuel before crashing, though it wasnt clear if that was because of a malfunction or an intentional maneuver by the pilots, said Capt. Mark Weisgerber with U.S. Fleet Forces Command. The jet went down less than 10 miles from Oceana. Bruce Nedelka, the Virginia Beach EMS division chief, said witnesses saw fuel being dumped from the jet before it went down, and that fuel was found on buildings and vehicles in the area. The plane not having as much fuel on board mitigated what could have been an absolute massive, massive fireball and fire, Nedelka said. With all of that jet fuel dumped, it was much less than what it could have been. The crash happened in the Hampton Roads area, which has a large concentration of military bases, including Naval Station Norfolk, the largest naval base in the world. Naval Air Station Oceana, where the F/A-18D that crashed was assigned, is located in Virginia Beach. Both the pilots were from Virginia Beach, Weisgerber said. The pilots included a student and an instructor. Weisgerber said he did not know how many times the student pilot had been in the air, but that the instructor was extremely experienced. Dozens of police cars, fire trucks and other emergency vehicles filled the densely populated neighborhood where the plane crashed. Yellow fire hoses snaked through side streets as fire crews poured water on the charred rooftops of brick apartment houses. By late afternoon, the fire had been put out. Residents of the apartment complex described a confusing scene and an apologetic pilot. Colby Smith said his house started shaking and then the power went out, as he saw a red and orange blaze outside his window. He ran outside, where he saw billowing black smoke and then came upon the pilot as he ran to a friends home. I saw the parachute on the house and he was still connected to it, and he was laying on the ground with his face full of blood, Smith told WVEC-TV. The pilot said, Im sorry for destroying your house. Smith said he and another

man helped the pilot onto the street. Patrick Kavanaugh, who lives in the complex where the jet crashed, opened up his sliding glass door after hearing a loud explosion and saw one of the jets pilots on the ground with blood on his face. Kavanaugh said the pilot, whom he described as a young boy, was very upset and apologetic. The poor guy was in shock. I checked for broken bones and opened wounds, said Kavanaugh, who spent 23 years in the rescue squad and retired in 1996. Despite having suffered several heart attacks and open-heart surgery, Kavanaugh said his old rescue skills kicked in as he dragged the pilot around the corner and away from the fire before several other explosions occurred. As authorities closed roads in the neighborhood, traffic backed up on side streets and on nearby Interstate 264, with slow-moving columns of vehicles bringing drivers to a virtual standstill early Friday afternoon. Edna Lukens, who works at the apartment complex across the street from the crash, said she saw three apartment buildings on fire. We heard this loud noise and we looked out the window and there was smoke all in the sky. Then the flames started going up in the sky, and then the apartment building just started burning and the police was called and everybody came out, Lukens said. The same model of fighter jet, an F/A-18D, crashed in December 2008 while returning to Marine Corps Air Station Miramar after a training exercise in a San Diego neighborhood. That crash killed four members of one family and destroyed two homes.

Ohio selects new contracts for Medicaid

COLUMBUS (AP) Ohio has picked managed care organizations for new state Medicaid contracts that will provide health care services for more than 1.5 million poor and disabled people. State officials said Friday they selected Aetna Better Health of Ohio, CareSource, Meridian Health Plan, Paramount Advantage and United Healthcare Community Plan of Ohio. Medicaid beneficiaries will be offered five managed care plan choices, up from the current two or three. Ohio is also upping performance expectations in the contracts by linking a portion of each Medicaid managed care plans payment to standards aimed at making people healthier. The plans will also have to develop financial incentives for hospitals, doctors and other providers that are tied to improving quality and patients health. Enrollment in the plans begins in January.

CINCINNATI (AP) The mother of a 14-year-old who had cerebral palsy and weighed 28 pounds when she died last year has pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter and other charges in southwest Ohio. A Montgomery County court official says 42-year-old Angela Norman entered the plea Friday in Dayton north of Cincinnati. Deputy clerk Leo Butler says Norman pleaded guilty to a first-degree felony count of involuntary manslaughter and to single misdemeanor and felony counts of endangering children. Authorities say Normans daughter, Makayla Norman, had numerous bed sores and showed other signs of neglect when she died March 1, 2011. The Montgomery County coroners office attributed her death to malnutrition and medical neglect complicated by her chronic condition. A coroners official said she was the worst malnourished child this office has ever seen.

Donate life this April

By Rachel Lewis Media Relations/ Community Outreach Coordinator Lifeline of Ohio barriers to donation that we need to overcome to save lives. Concern: According to the survey, 31 percent of Lewis Ohioans who said they did not want to donate organs, eyes or tissue after death made that choice because they thought they were too old to donate or had health concerns that precluded them from donating. Truth: Anyone of any age or any medical condition has the potential to be a donor. If donation is right for you, sign up in the Ohio Donor Registry and let medical professionals determine if donation is possible at the time of your death. You may be surprised by the impact you can make: the oldest organ donor was 92 and people with serious

safety net. There are more than five farm safety net and direct payment programs that are meant to protect farmers against volatile growing conditions or drops in yield. But these resources are not always used where they are most needed, and are not always based on crops that are actually planted. Ive introduced a bipartisan bill with Sen. John Thune (R-SD) to improve the farm safety net. Our proposal consolidates five separate programs while making the farm safety net program more efficient by reducing overlap with crop insurance, and cutting down on paperwork. 5. Save $23 billion by ending special tax breaks for Wall Street hedge fund managers. Wealthy hedge fund managers can make more than $2 billion each year, yet pay a lower tax rate than most middle class Ohioans because of a special tax break. If hedge fund managers paid the regular income tax rate, we could reduce the deficit by $23 billion over the next decade. Collectively, these simple actions would save nearly $85 billion over the next 10 years. Ohio families are making tough choices with their household budgets. Its time the government does the same for the federal budget.

Its April, which means its time to save lives! April is Donate Life Month, a national effort to reflect on the need for organ and tissue donors. Right now, more than 112,000 Americans including 3,400 Ohioans wait for an organ transplant. They all need donors but for many, an organ transplant will not come in time. Each day 18 men, women and children die in the U.S. while waiting for an organ transplant. An Ohioan dies every other die while waiting and these losses are completely preventable. The solution is for more people to register as organ and tissue donors. Donate Life Ohios most recent survey identified some

illnesses have still given the Gift of Life. Concern: We found that 28 percent of Ohioans polled believe that doctors are more interested in obtaining organs than saving lives of organ donors. Truth: Doctors are only concerned with saving the life in front of them. Only after every effort to save a life has failed is organ donation considered. Doctors dont have access to the Ohio Donor Registry, the resource organ procurement organizations use to determine ones status as a donor. This Donate Life Month, I urge you to learn the truth about organ and tissue donation and sign up TODAY in the Ohio Donor registry. If you would like to register or have questions, please visit donatelifeohio.org or contact me directly: rlewis@ lifelineofohio.org or 800525-5667.

The eye -- it cannot choose but see; we cannot bid the ear be still; our bodies feel, whereer they be, against or with our will. William Wordsworth

One Year Ago Kiwanis Ohio Gov. John DeVilbiss and First Lady Wanda DeVilbiss visited Delphos on Wednesday to speak at a Delphos Kiwanis Club meeting and install new members. New members inducted included Cindy Langenkamp, Barb Mesker, Shanna Holland, Janet Metzger, Gary Levitt, Dave Casemire and Cammy Miller. 25 Years Ago 1987 Delegates from Ottoville and Fort Jennings high schools will represent the Fort Jennings American Legion Post 715 at Buckeye Boys State to be held June 13-21 at Bowling Green University. Girls State is held June 20-27 at Ashland College. Tim Utrup will represent Fort Jennings, and Jim Burgei was chosen to represent Ottoville High School. Cheryl Meyer has been selected to represent the Fort Jennings Auxiliary 715, and Barbara Bruns will represent Ottoville. The 1987 Confirmation of Youth was held Sunday at Trinity United Methodist Church. The class confirmed by Rev. John Hoover included Daniel Baumgartner, Danny Schleeter II, Jeffrey Petersmeyer, Joshua Gillespie, Jeffrey Vogt, Erin Macwhinney, Michael Ahten, Kimberly Brunk, Amber Daulbaugh, Adrian Smith and Amy Van Meter. Fourteen students recently completed the 10-hour hunter safety course held at the Delphos Public Library. Those participating were Aaron Hallard, Josh Heitmeyer, Bryan Hoersten, Bradley Teman, Bobby Maloney, Gary Maloney, Travis Brinkman, Brandon Groves, Joshua Weeden, Randy Helm, Kent Brandehoff, Scott Miller, Polly Brinkman and Thomas Groves. 50 Years Ago 1962 Ottovilles new branch library will hold an open house Sunday for the general public. The branch library, one of four in Putnam County, is the realization of a dream that the citizens of Ottoville have had for some time. The other branch libraries in the county are in Columbus Grove, Leipsic and Continental. The Delphos Jefferson Wildcats managed to bunch three of their five hits in the sixth inning Friday to edge Ottoville, 1-0, behind the two-hit pitching of Gordie Vogt. Vogt went all the way for the Cats and posted 13 strikeouts against three walks and one hit batsmen. The Wildcats run came with two out when Tom Hittle singled, John Ayers walked, Jack White singled and Gerald Lindeman singled to drive in the run. Myrtle Talbot and Goldie Stopher were hostesses to the Ladies Bible Class of Trinity Methodist Church Friday evening in the home of Mary Heck on Jackson. The president, Mrs. Lester Strayer opened by offering a prayer. On the program were readings by Mrs. John Huysman. 75 Years Ago 1937 Manners and customs in Assyria, or Mesopotamia, were described in a most interesting manner by V. Malik Verda in an address before the Delphos Kiwanis Club at the weekly meeting of the organization at the Beckman Hotel Tuesday night. Verda was born in the hills of Assyria and was reared there, leaving his home during the troublous times of the World War. A delightful party was given Tuesday night by the members of the Commemorative Post, Delphos American Legion, for the members of the Legion Auxiliary on the occasion of the 16th anniversary of the organization. The Legion also observed Army Day. The dinner, served by the Rebekah ladies, was held in the Odd Fellows Hall. A group of local residents were in Rockford Tuesday to attend the Christian Endeavor rally of the Van Wert district of the United Brethren churches. Present from Delphos were Ruth Good, Mildred Harpster, Lois and Juanite Nollan, Grace Woodworth, Mr. and Mrs. Forest Fought and daughter, Margaret, Helen and Naomi, Mrs. William Nollan and daughter, Vera Louise, and son, Robert, and Mr. and Mrs. Harold Wade.

IT WAS NEWS THEN

Panettas commuting tab: about $860K so far

Moderately confused

WASHINGTON (AP) Its turning out to be a costly commute home for Defense Secretary Leon Panetta. The Pentagon chief has traveled on military aircraft to his home in northern California more than two dozen times since he took the defense post in July trips that have cost the government about $32,000 each. Panetta, in turn, has reimbursed the government about $630 per roundtrip for the personal flights, based on longstanding formulas dictated by federal policies. The totals detailed by defense officials lay out his reimbursements for the first time, showing that as of March 19, Panetta had written checks to the Treasury totaling about $17,000 for 27 roundtrip flights. The total cost to the Pentagon is as much as $860,000 based on average fuel and operating costs for his Air Force planes. As Pentagon chief, Panetta is required to travel on military planes because they have the secure communications equipment he needs to stay in contact with the president and other top civilian and military leaders. The amount he pays is calculated using what a fullfare coach trip would cost. According to the Pentagon, the actual costs are about $3,200 per flight hour to operate the small plane he usually uses for the 10-hour round trip. When he took the job, Panetta made it clear that he would continue to return home to his family on the weekends as he had done as CIA director for the previous two years and as a member of Congress from 1977-1993. The cost of the flights is a tiny fraction of the Pentagons proposed $614 billion budget. But Panetta comes to the defense job at a particularly difficult financial time for the department. If Congress cant reach an agreement on savings or additional revenues elsewhere in the federal budget by next January, officials could be forced to cut nearly $1 trillion in defense spending over the next 10 years. When Panetta took the post, it was noted that he came with budget skills honed during his time as chairman of the House Budget Committee, head of the White House Office of Management and Budget and White House chief of staff for President Bill Clinton. No one understands the budget pressures on the Pentagon better than Secretary Panetta, who is responsible for identifying nearly $1 billion per week in defense cuts or roughly $140 million per day over the next 10 years, Pentagon press secretary George Little said. As a required-use traveler, he must use government aircraft for all travel. Little said Panetta values his time with his wife and family and spending time away from Washington, in fact, helps him focus on the job and recharge. White House national security spokesman Tommy Vietor added, Secretary Panetta has done an exceptional job in both his role at the CIA and as secretary of defense. He has been on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and has always been reachable through secure channels whenever necessary, wherever he is.

Just recently, I was watching a rerun of the movie The Bucket List. In one scene, Morgan Freeman was asked who had invented the radio. His answer had two prongs: Marconi is credited with the invention but as time as brought forth more information, historians are now crediting a gentleman named Nikola Tesla. Marconi was working on his invention in Bologna, Italy, while during the same time frame Tesla was working for Westinghouse in America. Two parallel projects, thousands of miles apart, working in two completely different sets of circumstances and with widely different sets of resources, yet basically coming to the same conclusion. What does this have to do with postal history? I am glad you asked. In 1993, when I first came to Delphos as postmaster, I made a small discovery of construction photos of the Delphos Post Office along with a copy of the blueprints for the building. These items led me to find a copy of the Delphos Herald dated Nov. 11, 1933, which described in detail the dedication of the Delphos Post Office. This sparked our idea to host a 60th anniversary of that dedication on November 11, 1993. I assembled postal artifacts from various sources, which included some of the holdings of Meg Ausman, historian for the US Postal Service in Washington, D.C. I was totally unaware that during this same time frame, the Smithsonian Institution was working on the renovation of the DC Post Office next to Union Station and turning it into the National Postal Museum (NPM). This project spearheaded by then-Museum Director/postal historian/ author Jim Bruns came to fruition on July 4, 1993. Bruns had the full backing of the US Postal Service and a myriad of related business and organizations like Pitney Bowes and the American Postal Workers Union while sporting seed money of $330 million. We had the support of several local individuals and with start-up funds of $2,500, we launched efforts to create the

Museum of Postal History of Delphos (MPH). Our dream became reality on Nov. 11, 1995, just two years after our anniversary celebration. Last year, I reported about the progress of the NPM in its mission in bringing philately stamp collecting to a new level. William H. Gross, a multimillionaire and avid stamp collector, donated several millions of dollars to renovate the entire front of the NPMs building to create a home for some of his collection, including a plate block of the famous inverted Jenny stamp. During this same time frame, Dr. Walter W. Wolery of Delphos donated numerous albums of philatelic items to add to the 50-60,000 stamps he had donated previously. In addition, the Jack Bilen family, the Wiltsie family, the Robert Shenk family and the Rothgery family donated their families extensive philatelic collections resulting in an estimated total of a quarter of a million stamps in our possession. All of these efforts were part of our journey in the creation of the Museum of Postal History. Those of you who visited our former location or visited us here at 339 North Main St. prior to or during Canal Days 2011 viewed our first attempts at bringing postal history to the forefront. These attempts were basically groups of collections that when viewed, gave you glimpses into various parts of postal history but they never really told a cohesive story. In past articles, I have often outlined my dream of a museum that fulfilled our mission statement to educate the public about the role our mail system has played in A) the advances of technology; B) the proliferation of communication; and C) the exemplification of the American culture by creating communities while fulfilling its primary role of binding the nation together. Over the course of 2011, we received numerous artifacts, philatelic products and a sharp increase in the interest and numbers of volunteers. Many area businesses, individuals and foundations

made significant donations of funds, materials and in-kind donations of labor. When you come into the lobby of our museum, take a moment to view the recognition features both on the walls and those pavers soon to be embedded in the floor. The end result: exhibits that come so much closer to fulfilling our mission statement. We begin our story with a look at the infancy of the mail system during our colonial period; follow the development of transportation systems from roads to electronic mail and from sealing wax used on the folded letter to products and services that travel in mail. We demonstrate the distribution of mail from Franklins pigeon hole case to the wonders of todays automation and we show how towns and villages live and die based on the survival of its post office. In essence, we take the core functions of the US Mail and show you the effects significant points in history have shaped our nation. I imagine that very few people keep up with the progress of the NPM. If you have an opportunity to view their web site (www.npm.si.edu), their newest exhibit is Systems at work. Let me just quote their description: Systems at Work leads you through 10 different moments in the nations history. Together, they reveal the great changes and striking similarities in the postal system over time how it works, how it connects people and its profound importance to the nation. Hmm, sound like something you may have heard? The NPM has an excellent web site that has an amazing amount of information. MPH will be launching its new web site designed by David Wagner, hopefully by the end of this month. It will be interactive and give you an opportunity to see our exhibits, items of our collection and a digital representation of our philatelic collection. Better still, stop in from 1-3 p.m. on Thursdays or from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays and see it all in person. Groups can schedule private showings by calling me at (419) 303-5482.

JUST A THOUGHT

Theres no place like home

But still, am I ready to pack everything up in boxes, to transport what will fit into the tiny apartment well be renting until, in the words of Greenday, time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go? Like when ending a relationship with someone Ive clearly loved yet have realized that its just not going to work long-term, Im now having second thoughts. What if there isnt one better than this out there for us? What I have to remember is that a happy family is ready to move into this house and theyre as excited as I was when we first found out this house was ours. I also know the only way well ever end up where were meant to stay cannot happen unless we sell this house. As I pack up our belongings in boxes, I have to focus not on what were leaving behind but what were moving toward. I really just have to focus on the reality that it is a house. A thing. The people I love will always be with me, no matter where we end up. I want to focus on the road ahead, as uncertain as it may be. What the house represents to me is comfort, stability, memories. Its not so much the house itself as much as I do love it its what the house signifies and thats why Ive become emotionally attached. From here, we can find a new place to make more memories. And once in a while maybe even recall the wonderful days this house has brought us.

The Warriors played in Ada until the conclusion of the 2011 season. Team President Rich Stotts said We are extremely excited to return to the stadium; we feel that this is part of the rebirth of the organization in Lima. We cant wait to get on the field in one of the best places in the state for a football game.

The full-page New York Times advertisement by the Freedom From Religion Foundation was certainly blunt -- starting with its headline telling liberal and nominal Catholics that Its Time to Consider Quitting the Catholic Church. Conservative Catholics were outraged and called the newspapers leaders hypocrites, claiming they would never dare to run such a fierce and offensive ad that targeted believers in other faiths, especially Islam. Sure enough, a group called Stop Islamization of America immediately produced a full-page advertisement that precisely mirrored the images and rhetoric of the antiCatholic effort, including a headline telling moderate Muslims that Its Time to Quit Islam. Conservative Catholics were outraged -- again -- when Times leaders refused to run the anti-Muslim advertisement, claiming that to do so would endanger American troops. Truth be told, the offended Catholics had little reason to be shocked if members of the Times

BBC say race trumps religion

The Herald 7

On Religion
hierarchy based their decisions on convictions similar to those recently aired by the leader of the British Broadcasting Corporation, another of the worlds most influential news organizations. For BBC director-general Mark Thompson, the key is to understand that Muslims, Sikhs, Hindus, Jews and believers in other minority religions share a very close identity with ethnic minorities and, thus, their beliefs deserve to be handled with special care. Meanwhile, he said its acceptable to subject Christians to more criticism and satire, to treat their beliefs with less sensitivity, because Christianity is a powerful, secure, majority religion -- even in an increasingly secular age.

I think it is very different to talk about Christianity in the United Kingdom: a very broadly, literally established, but also metaphorically established, part of our kind of culturally built landscape, said Thompson, in an interview recorded for the FreeSpeechDebate.com project produced by St. Antonys College, Oxford. Christianity, he argued, is a broad-shouldered religion, compared to religions which, in the U.K., have a very close identity with ethnic minorities -- where, you know, its not as if Islam is randomly spread across the U.K. population. Its almost entirely a religion practiced by people who may already feel in other ways isolated, prejudiced against, and where they may well regard an attack on their religion as racism by other means. Thus, Thompson said, its appropriate for media and government leaders to use a more protective, cautious standard when judging the contents of news and entertainment that could be viewed as threatening to believers whose faith is in some real way tied to their racial identi-

ties. On the other hand, he stressed, I do not think that its appropriate that there should be laws inhibiting freedom of speech in the interest of protecting religions. That doesnt mean I think necessarily you should publish or broadcast anything. Muslims, for example, are more offended by criticism or satire of Muhammad than most Christians are of similar media products about Jesus, said Thompson, who identified himself as a moderate, practicing Catholic. For a Muslim, a depiction -particularly a comical or demeaning depiction of the Prophet Muhammad -- might have the force, the emotional force, of a piece of a grotesque child pornography. One of the mistakes seculars make is, I think, not to understand the character of what blasphemy feels like to someone who is a realist in their religious belief. Of course, debates on this subject have also been shaped by political and religious realities in an increasingly tense world. Its hard, said Thompson, to hold discussions

of sacrilege and blasphemy in England and the western world without mentioning Salman Rushdie and The Satanic Verses, his 1988 novel that was, in part, inspired by the life of Muhammad. The book was burned and banned in some parts of the world and, ultimately, led to a fatwa urging all devout Muslims to kill Rushdie -- who continues to live in hiding decades later. Historian Timothy Garton Ash, who conducted the Oxford interview, said this threat of violence is a rather nasty ace that can be played by those who are willing to say, I feel so strongly about that, if you say it or broadcast it, I will kill you. Thompson responded: Well, clearly its a very notable move in the game, I mean without question. I complain in the strongest possible terms is different from I complain in the strongest possible terms and Im loading my AK47 as I write. This definitely raises the stakes.

The Herald 9

Tomorrows Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol
SUNDAY, APRIL 8, 2012 In the coming months, dont be foolish enough to reject a potentially good opportunity just because someone you dislike presents it to you. Make your judgment call on the proposal, not on the person who is offering it. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- If youre conducting a business matter or reviewing a serious situation, you should be extra cautious and prudent. You could easily put yourself in a hole if youre not careful. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Any small disagreement between you and your special someone wont stay minuscule very long. Facts could be exaggerated and quickly turn explosive. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -Attempt to keep the uninvolved out of your hair when working on a pet project. If youre subjected to too much interference, things wont come out the way you envision them. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -Although you may not be a bashful person, you could be somewhat standoffish or reserved. Yet when you get an opening, you could be tempted to upstage your friends. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- The last person with whom youd want to be involved might plan a special arrangement that includes you. Chances are, youll have a hard time wiggling out of that one. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -Making excuses for things that go wrong will hurt your image and make you look weak. Instead of pretending its not your fault, face up to your mistakes and shortcomings. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Treat with great respect anything you borrow, especially if its something the lender treasures. If youre careless in handling it, it will not only hurt your reputation, but your wallet as well. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Just because, for the sake of convenience, you agree to enter into an arrangement with a person who seldom sees things from your perspective, dont expect him or her to change. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- You should take pride in your work, down to the smallest task. Doing things right the first time will lessen your work and enhance your feelings of self-worth. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Even though you might innately be a very friendly person, spending time with a small, intimate group will provide you with the most pleasure. Dont get caught up in a crowd. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Its important to be optimistic, but its equally important to be realistic as well. Expectations dependent upon impractical premises will collapse before your eyes. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- If someone tells you what you believe to be a tall tale, dont try to top this person with your own whopper. Youre not likely to have the same luck as he or she has in fooling others. MONDAY, APRIL 9, 2012 If you utilize all your abilities, ideas and experiences as best you can, the year ahead could be very fruitful. Your fertile imagination, combined with your strong initiative and ambition will produce a winning formula. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -If self-imposed uncertainties cause you to question something that you previously believed to be sound, you could start to go backward instead of moving ahead on things. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -Before bringing someone into your confidence, make sure this person wont betray you and tell others certain tidbits that you dont want blabbed all over town. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -Your chances for success look pretty good, provided you stick to your original blueprint. Conversely, if you begin to effect some last- minute changes, youre likely to fall flat. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -Your generous supply of ingenious ideas and loads of enthusiasm will count for little if you lack the discipline to finish what you begin. Make sure that youre a finisher. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Usually youre an excellent judge of character, but this fine quality is apt to desert you, and you could back the very people you should most avoid. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -When it comes to a situation that calls for a firm stance and sticking to what you began, you could be convinced to take a different tack by someone who is way off course. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Continuously check every detail of your work and/or the efforts of those under your charge. Be careful not to let someone who has a tendency to rush a job call the shots. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -Trying to mix business with pleasure could make for a poor combination, so it is advisable to stick with one or the other. Focus on work-related matters or devote yourself to pleasure, but not both. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Youre the type of person who likes to experiment on your work from time to time to see if you can do it better. Stick to the tried and true for the time being, however. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Although youre normally good at keeping secrets, that doesnt mean you can relax. Watch out, because with a minimum amount of coaxing, a nosy pal could have you spilling the beans. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Be satisfied with nominal profits instead of holding out for what you believe could be a better deal. Unreasonable expectations invite major disappointment. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -Just because certain ideas or concepts work for another does not necessarily guarantee they will work for you. Make allowances for different situations, talents and experiences.

Library celebrated 100 years, National Library Week

During the week of April 9-14, we will be celebrating National Library Week. Our library will also be celebrating 100 years of library service at the Second Street location. The original Carnegie building was dedicated in 1912. The building has been added on to in 1961 and again in 2005, but we are still utilizing the original building. On April 15, we will hold an open house and invite the public to visit the library to see all of the services we have to offer. The library and the First Edition building will both be open to the public that day from 1-3 p.m. Refreshments will be served in the First Edition. Come see how much the library has grown in 100 years. Fines will be dropped on overdue library materials returned during National Library Week. wasnt bad enough, Alison is forced to take over the womens basketball team at St. Thomas after the coach dies of a heart attack during a game.

Hummingbird Ridge, West Virginia. Unwanted Kristina Ohlsson In the middle of a rainy Swedish summer, a little girl is abducted from a crowded train. Despite hundreds of potential witnesses, no one noticed when the girl was taken. Her distraught mother was left behind at the previous station in what seemed to be a coincidence. The train crew was alerted and kept a watchful eye on the sleeping child. But when the train pulled into Stockholm Central Station, the little girl had vanished. Inspector Alex Recht and his special team of federal investigators, assisted by the investigative analyst Fredrika Bergman, are assigned to what at first appears to be a classic custody fight. But when the child is found dead in the far north of Sweden with the word unwanted scribbled on her forehead, the case soon turns into the investigation teams worst nightmare the pursuit of a brilliant and ruthless killer.. Habit Charles Duhigg Author Charles Duhigg takes us to the thrilling edge of scientific discoveries that explain why habits exist and how they can be changed. With penetrating intelligence and an ability to distill vast amounts of information into engrossing narratives, Duhigg brings to life a whole new understanding of human nature and its potential for transformation. Along the way we learn why some people and companies struggle to change, despite years of trying, while others seem to remake themselves overnight. We visit laboratories where neuroscientists explore how habits work and where, exactly, they reside in our brains. We discover how the right habits were crucial to the success of Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps, Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz, and civil-rights hero Martin Luther King, Jr. We go inside Proctor & Gamble, Target superstores, Rick Warrens Saddleback Church, NFL locker rooms, and the nations largest hospitals to see how implementing so-called keystone habits can earn billions and mean the difference between failure and success, life and death.
