In the first year, the foundation gave away $62,800 in grants.

Foundation trustee Rick Miller presided over the distribution with President Lonnie Miller, Vice President John Nomina, Treasurer Doug Harter, Secretary Jerry Gilden

and Trustees Bill Massa, Nick Clark and Doris Neumeier doling out checks.

This year’s grant recipients include:

• Athletic Boosters (Track) — $7,000 — accepted by Jefferson Athletic Booster member Greg Gossman. He said the grant will be

used for repairs to the Community Track at Jefferson High School. St. John’s Athletic Boosters share in the upkeep of the track.

WWTP plant retrofit near completion

BY NANCY SPENCERDHI Media Editor

[email protected]

DELPHOS — The city has received yet another notice from the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency for a violation concerning the wastewater treatment plant.

According to Mayor Michael Gallmeier, the missive was received on Monday.

“We still have fouling plates and the EPA says they may put us on findings and orders,” Gallmeier told council Monday eve-ning. “They have been working closely with us on the upgrades to the facility and they know what we are doing but they still have to do their job.”

Gallmeier said with the upgrades near completion and the new technology coming online in the coming weeks, the problem should be resolved.

Safety Service Director Shane Coleman reported the retrofit at the plant is close to completion with the new membranes assem-bled and installed.

“The programmer will be back in this coming Monday and next week is what we call ‘the point of no return’,” Coleman said. “We’ll be draining down the air and anox-ic tanks and they’ll be making cuts in the concrete for the system. We hope to bring that online on Dec. 21 and start the pilot test.”

Coleman invited councilmen and the public to call him and schedule a tour at the plant.

“This will be a great project when it’s completed,” he added. “Residents shouldn’t notice anything with the service.”

Coleman also noted that BUNGE will be installing a new gas-powered boiler and traffic may be disrupted on Thursday in the area of Jefferson High School, State Street and Bank Street. On Friday, Clay street will be closed between First and Cleveland streets for the project.

The season pool ticket sales on Friday went very well, according to Coleman.

“We sold 106 single and 40 family passes,” he said. “The response was overwhelmingly positive and the early sale was very well received.”

Coleman added that several people had mentioned they were hesitant to buy tickets for the 2016 season because of last summer’s cooler temperatures and the reduced days swimming was possible but had purchased them Friday because it was such a good value.

Thoroughfares Committee Chair Del Kemper reported on the committee meeting prior to the regular council meeting. Members met to discuss eliminating and/or reconfiguring parking on several streets.

“We are looking at getting rid of parking on the south side of Fourth Street between Washington and Franklin streets and the north side of First Street between Bredeick and State streets,” Kemper said. “We would also like to see parallel parking in front of St. John’s Church and get rid a few of the spaces near the intersection of East First and Second streets.”

Kemper said more conversation would come before any decisions were made.

In old business, Councilman Mark Clement asked about the status of several of the buildings on downtown Main Street that had shown structural distress.

“We haven’t heard from the owners and we are looking at taking the next step by having Fire Chief Kevin Streets go through the buildings and see if they are safe or not,” Coleman said.

Council reviewed a request for a water/sewer adjustment from First Assembly of God for its parsonage. The request had been tabled at the last council meeting. The parsonage has been empty since Aug. 23 and church officials were unsure of why the water bill was so high. Upon further investigation, officials found that a water-powered sump pump may have been the culprit. Council passed the request with a 4-3 vote. Councilman Josh Gillespie noted his “no” vote on all requests brought before council saying his didn’t want to be part of setting a precedent.

“Almost all of the requests we’ve seen are homeowner problems and I feel they should have been taken care of by the homeowner,” Gillespie said.

Mayor Gallmeier interjected that if the city can move to monthly meter reading, the number and monetary size of requests would significantly shrink.

Councilman are not required to approve water/sewer adjust-ments but have historically.

Council heard on first reading adjustments to the 2015 Appropriations to bring accounts in line to actual spending and revenue. Auditor Tom Jettinghoff noted that most of the adjustments were due to unexpected income.

Passed on third reading was setting Council Clerk Marsha Mueller’s salary at $3,800 a year.

Look-alike websites: When shop-ping online, make sure to use only legitimate websites. Watch out for URLs that use the names of well-known brands along with extra words.

Fake shipping notifications: These can have attachments or links to sites that will download malware on your computer to steal your identity and your passwords. Don’t be fooled by a holiday phishing scam.

E-cards: Electronic cards can be great fun, but be careful. Two red flags to watch out for are: the sender’s name is not apparent; you are required to share additional information to get the card.

Letters from Santa: Several trusted companies offer charming and person-alized letters from Santa, but scammers mimic them to get personal information from unsuspecting parents. Check with bbb.org to find out which ones are legit-imate.

Grandparents scam: Seniors should be cautious if they get a call from a grandchild claiming to be in an accident, arrested or hospitalized while traveling in another country. Never send money unless you confirm with another family member that it’s true.

Phony charities: Everyone is in a generous mood at the holidays, so scam-mers take advantage of that with fake charity solicitations in email, on social media sites, and even by text. Check out charities at give.org before donating.

Temporary holiday jobs: Retailers and delivery services need extra help at the holidays, but beware of solicita-tions that require you to share personal

information online or pay for a job lead. Apply in person or go to retailers’ main websites to find out who is hiring.

Unusual forms of payment: Be wary of anyone who asks you to pay for holiday purchases using prepaid debit cards, gift cards, wire transfers, third parties, etc. These payments cannot be traced and cannot be undone. Use a credit card on a secure website; look for https in the address (the extra “s” is for “secure”) and the lock symbol.

Free gift cards: Pop-up ads or email offering free gift cards are often just a ploy to get your personal information that can later be used for identity theft.

Social media gift exchange: It sounds like a great deal; buy one gift and get 36 in return. But it’s just a variation on a pyramid scheme and it’s illegal.

To learn about scams or to report one, go to BBB Scam Tracker.

Information submittedCOLUMBUS – The holidays are an exciting time of year

for kids and parents and to help ensure that everyone has a safe and happy holiday season, the Ohio Department of Health (ODH), wants to remind parents to keep safety in mind when choosing toys for young children when out holiday shopping.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission estimates that more than 250,000 children are treated in hospital emer-gency rooms for toy-related injuries each year.

“Parents and others will purchase toys this holiday season for children,” said ODH Director Rick Hodges. “By reading labels and being safety conscious, they can help prevent toy-related injuries and even death.”

The following tips will help parents and others choose appropriate toys for children this holiday season:

· Select toys to suit the age, abilities, skills, and interest level of the intended child.

· Be a toy label reader. Look for labels that give age rec-ommendations.

· For infants and toddlers, avoid toys with small parts.· For children under age eight, avoid toys that have sharp

edges and points.· Do not purchase electric toys with heating elements for

children under age eight.· Check toy instructions for clarity.· Discard plastic wrapping on toys immediately the wrap-

ping can cause suffocation.· Charging batteries should be supervised by adults.

Chargers and adapters can pose thermal burn hazards to young children.

ODH reminds parents about toy safety

VAN WERT — The unmistakable sound of multi-Dove and Grammy Award-winning recording artist David Phelps will be featured at 7:30 p.m. Sunday at the Niswonger Performing Arts Center in Van Wert.

Once a childhood musical prodigy from Tomball, Texas, Phelps earned a bachelor’s degree in music from Baylor University. Since then, he has become a nationally-celebrated vocalist, whose gifts and talents are matched by none. Perhaps best known as the powerful tenor for the multiple Grammy and Dove Award-winning Gaither Vocal Band, Phelps is constantly building on a career that has already been ground-breaking. Emerging as a leading voice in contemporary Christian music, Phelps

He has performed at numerous prestigious venues across the globe, including the White House, New York’s Carnegie Hall and the Sydney Opera House in Australia. His electrifying voice has moved audiences from all walks of life, crossing generational and stylistic barriers.

This David Phelps Classic Christmas event is one of more than a dozen Phelps and his seven-piece musical entourage will make this holiday season. Many of the songs featured during this exciting evening are included on Phelps’ O Holy Night recording, as well as his recently release Freedom recording.

Having More Retirement Accounts is Not the Same as Having More Money.When it comes to the number of retirement accounts you have, the saying “more is better” is not necessarily true. In fact, if you hold multiple accounts with various brokers, it can be difficult to keep track of your investments and to see if you’re properly diversified.* At the very least, multiple accounts usually mean multiple fees.

Bringing your accounts to Edward Jones could help solve all that. Plus, one statement can make it easier to see if you’re moving toward your goals.

VAN WERT — The Van Wert County Junior Fair Board has set the date and time for the 2015 show steer, performance steer and dairy steer weigh-in. Participants should have their animals at the Van Wert County Fairgrounds Saturday between 8-10 a.m. Jan. 2 at the Junior Fair Beef Barn.

Animals not in line to be weighed at the end of the time may be disquali-fied from participation in the 2016 Van Wert County Jr. Fair. Exhibitors may allow someone else to weigh in their animals for them if they

are unable to be present for the weigh in.

Exhibitors should plan to come in the gate next to the Extension office, and leave through gate 4 (livestock gate during fair) to help with the flow of traffic. Be prepared to wait as the process takes a bit longer than the other weigh-ins, but feel free to come in and help with other exhibi-tors and the Jr. Fair Board to help ensure the process goes as quickly as possible.

Please help us to inform others that may be taking show, dairy, or performance

steers this coming year. It is especially important for those who are exhibiting these ani-mals for the first time. We will try our best to have lists of previous participants, but we have no way to knowing who might be exhibiting for 2015.

Please note: If you are planning to exhibit your steers at the Ohio State Fair you are responsible contact-ing the Ohio State Fair office for information regarding identification and tagging.

Another ‘part II’Call this another

Part 2.Last week, I

wrote about the saga of Johnny “Johnny Football” Manziel and his travails with the Cleveland Browns.

I had hoped that I wouldn’t have to go further with it and apparently, it ended up in a 2-game suspension.

I will not guess as to the thinking of Browns head coach Mike Pettine and the brain trust for owner Jimmy Haslam.

I know he could not have been ecstatic after Sunday’s blow-out loss at home versus the Cincinnati Bengals.

Believe me, I don’t think Mr. Haslam, Mr. Pettine and all the others running that organization WANT this teams to fall apart and disappoint those long, long, LONG-suffering fans on Lake Erie.

Who knows what changes are in store — again — for the Browns as another disappointing and bitter season comes to an end, whether it be a new head coach and staff or certain players are gone.

The last thing I was thinking about when I wrote that col-umn — and it was in the back of my mind but I didn’t WANT to admit it! — was that should the Browns release Johnny Football, the @&!*!*! Dallas Cowboys expressed ANY inter-est in picking him up.

I referred to Mr. Jerry Jones and the dubious dealings — and utter miserable failings — he has had when picking up others’ castoffs for whatever reason.

This is not the era of the Oakland Raiders and maverick — and remember, James “Bret Maverick” Garner was a big Rrrraaaiiiddddeeeerrrr fan! — owner Al Davis, who made a living — and won a couple of Super Bowls under John Madden and Tom Flores — with that approach.

And throw in the utter failures of his drafts, like in actually finding a quarterback that can stick around for more than a year or two.

I do sometimes wonder if Jerry Jones truly cares about the Dallas Cowboys or is the team and its fans just another item in his arsenal?

After all, the one thing — person — that is the same around that organization since their last Super Bowl win (and the stel-lar Jimmy Johnson era until this person could no longer share the plentiful glory to go around) is one Jerry Jones.

He has sole responsibility — I know his two sons, Stephen and Jerry Jr., are involved as executive vice presidents in Player Personnel and Marketing, respectively, but who knows what juice they have as far as the product on the field — for the debacle of the last 20 years.

When they were in eight Super Bowls in the franchise’s first 35 years — actually, since the first SB was in 1967, that is 28 years of its history — and none since, that is inconceivable for one of the NFL’s most popular — and most hated — and lucrative franchises.

To me, if you cared, you would have the humility to look at the record under your stewardship and see it tain’t working and get someone in there who knows what they are doing!

It’s been done before. I refer to one Mike Brown who finally had to take a step back if he cared about the Bengals and he did.

The thing is, he continues to laugh all the way to the bank with a billion-dollar stadium and a franchise valued at $4 billion.

I guess you don’t “need” humility with those greenbacks.Oh well.

Roughriders stymie Lady JaysBY JIM METCALFE

DHI Media Sports [email protected]

DELPHOS — St. Marys Memorial outscored St. John’s 18-12 in the fourth period Tuesday night to escape Robert A. Arnzen Gymnasium with a 44-41 non-league girls basketball conquest.

The host Lady Blue Jays (2-2) won the made field-goal battle 18-12 but lost badly at the foul line 19-2.

“We didn’t get to the foul line and St. Marys did. They were more aggressive than we were,” St. John’s mentor Dan J. Grothouse explained. “We had some things we knew we needed to do and didn’t, like rebound and not let them cut in front of us inside. We need to be confident when we are on offense but whether it’s that, simply being tentative or what, we weren’t. We can’t just rely on the 3-point shot all the time in our offense but have to learn to attack the basket; I take responsibility for us not doing those things.”

The Jays took a 29-26 lead into the fourth period and Betty Vorst hit 1-of-2 foul shots shortly into it — the hosts’ first of the night — for a 30-26 edge. Back came the Lady Roughriders (3-2) behind their inside duo of the 5-9 Shania Taylor (18 markers, 15 boards) and the 6-0 Erika Angstmann (11 count-ers, 4 rebounds). Taylor scored seven straight for the visitors to give them a 34-33 edge on the first-of-2 singles at 3:26. Lexi Hays (7 counters, 4 caroms) gave the lead back to the hosts on a 17-footer from the right wing at 2:52.

Angstmann — who hit 9-of-10 freebies in the game — hit a pair at 2:41 to give the guests the lead for good. Down the stretch, St. Marys canned 6-of-9 at the stripe (10-of-14 in the period; 19-of-29 for the game for 65.5%) to salt it away and survived a last-gasp 3 from the right corner by the Jays.

“We have some good post-up play-ers, like E (Erika), Shania and Quincy (Rable); they cut well inside and find each other,” St. Marys coach Nikki Miars said. “We have guards that can stick the outside jumper when called upon. I liked the shots we were getting offensively.”

From the start, both teams flexed their defensive msucles in man-to-man schemes that lasted virtually the entire game but both offenses were getting shots almost every time down (St. Marys had 12 miscues and the Jays 5). St. Marys was 1-of-9 from the field in the canto (12-of-36 overall, 1-of-10 long range, for 33.3%) but made up for it as they got to the line 10 times in the span — hitting seven — as Angstmann was 6-of-6. The Jays canned 5-of-14 from the floor (18-of-53 for the night, 3-of-20 downtown, for 34.0%) as they led 10-7 on a curl to the basket by Vorst at 13 ticks. Angstmann made it 10-9 with 3.0 ticks on a pair of tosses.

The defenses really took over in the second stanza as the units combined for 6-of-22 shooting — the Jays were par-ticularly cold at 2-of-13 (2-of-7 triples). An inside deuce by Jessica Geise (8 markers) at 6:30 and a banking drive by Haleigh Bacome (6 assists) to beat the

horn were all their points. Taylor scored six points inside as the Roughriders led 17-12 late before Bacome’s buzzer-beat-er made it 17-14, guests.

St. Marys turned colder in the third period, shooting 3-of-12, and the Jays heated up (6-of-13). Madilynn Schulte erupted for three bombs (11 markers overall) as the Jays built a 29-26 edge on her trifecta from left of the key with 30 ticks showing.

St. Marys won the board battle 37-27 (9-8 offensive) as Rable added seven and Sydney Cisco added six.

The Jays were wwhistled for 20 fouls and the Roughriders eight.

Both teams return to the court for league contests Thursday: St. Marys is host to Van Wert in Western Buckeye League action (6 p.m. junior varsity start) and the Jays host Fort Recovery in a Midwest Athletic Conference tilt starting at 7 p.m.

Lincolnview grabs ‘ugly’ win against Lady Commodores

BY JOHN PARENTDHI Media Sports [email protected]

LIMA — A win is a win, no matter how ugly, but Tuesday night’s Lincolnview

victory at Lima Perry was about as ugly as they come.

The Lady Lancers shot just 31 percent from the floor and committed 18 personal fouls and 23 turnovers but defeat-ed the Lady Commodores

44-29.The margin was a com-

fortable one in part because Perry went just 3-for-21 from the free throw line. Had Perry shot even 50 percent from the stripe, the fourth quarter would have had significantly more drama.

“They don’t grade you on pretty wins or ugly losses, it’s just wins and losses,” Lincolnview head coach Dan Williamson said. “We’ll take all the ugly wins we can get. With our youth, we’ll have a lot of ugly games; it’s just something we have got to grow out of. It will happen, I’m just not sure when.”

While the Lancers strug-gled as a team, sophomore Alena Looser and junior Katlyn Wendel each stepped up with big offensive efforts for Lincolnview (3-1). The duo shot a combined 9-for-20 from the field, including 4-for-7 from 3-point range (all by Looser). Looser scored a game-high 15 points while Wendel finished with 11 points and 10 rebounds.

Lincolnview freshman Lakin Brant (32) faces a dou-ble team from Perry’s Shanda Cowan (30) and Lyrick Simpson (52) during a girls basketball game in Lima on Tuesday. Brant scored 7 points and the Lancers rolled to a 44-29 win. (DHI Media/John Parent)

Grigsby, Bearcats top Van WertBY JIM COX

DHI Media [email protected]

SPENCERVILLE - Both Spencerville and Van Wert came into Tuesday night’s game looking for their first win.

Senior sharpshooter Jacey Grigsby made sure it was the Lady Bearcats who got it, a 44-28 victory that was close only for the first half.

Spencerville is now 1-4. Van Wert is 0-4.Van Wert started the game with a 5-0 run,

but Grigsby single-handedly got the home team within one, 12-11, at the end of the first quarter. Grigsby had all 11 of those Bearcat points. Ally Jackson had 7 points, including two 3-pointers, for the Cougars, but she didn’t score again in the game.

Kalida presses ‘Cats into loss

BY JIM METCALFEDHI Media Sports Editor

[email protected]

KALIDA — A good start is an important part of any basketball game.

It puts the team that does well in the driver’s seat early and forces the team that falls behind to play catchup.

The former team was the host Kalida LadyCats and the latter the visiting Jefferson Lady Wildcats Saturday afternoon inside The Wildcat Den of Kalida High School.

The ending was a 56-30 dismantling by the LadyCats.

“I don’t know why we struggled against their pres-sure early. It started from missing a bunny on our open-ing shot and it went downhill from there,” Jefferson mentor Dave Hoffman said. “Kalida is a good team and we hadn’t faced that kind of pressure all over the court, plus they were physical. We got better han-dling the ball in the second half and we got more aggres-

sive. A good thing is getting to the foul line quite a bit.”

The LadyCats (3-2) had another game with senior 4-year senior player Brittany Kahle (6 steals) back from injury.

“That helps us a lot but we’ve also been preaching to the girls to ‘throw the first punch’ and be aggressive from the start. Even today, it took a couple of soft possessions for us to get going,” Kalida head man Adam Huber explained. “What I like is solid contri-butions from all 11 girls we played. We got good produc-tion from the bench, espe-cially Cathy (Basinger) and Katelyn (Siebeneck), to keep up the energy and aggres-sion.”

One of the key reasons for the poor start for the visitors (4-1) was turnovers — 11 in the stanza (29 for the game) — and the other was 1-of-7 shooting (9-of-39 overall, 0-of-11 from 3, for 23.1%). On the other end, Kalida (3-2) turned it over six times (20

total) but also canned 7-of-11 in the period (24-of-52 for the contest, 2-of-15 long range, for 46.2%). The LadyCats scored first taking the lead for good at 6:22 on a layin by senior Kylie Osterhage (13 counters, 6 boards). The only Delphos score was a short jumper by sophomore Macy Wallace (4 points, 6 rebounds, 4 steals) at 2:38 and by then they trailed 9-2. When the senior Basinger (12 counters, 6 in the quarter) downed a short jumper at 43 ticks, the hosts led 15-2.

The Wildcats still strug-gled against the full- and half-court pressure defense of Kalida in the second period and turned it over nine times. They also continued to shoot poorly — 1-of-9 — but man-aged 4-of-6 at the line (12-of-19 total for 63.2%). That, along with the LadyCats only turning it over four times and grabbing six offensive boards to the Jeffcats’ three, gave the home team 20 shots.

Aelker, Roberson D3 regional picksInformation SubmittedBLUFFTON — For the

first time since 1999, the Bluffton University football team has two all-region selec-tions in senior Ryan Aelker (New Bavaria/Holgate) and sophomore Micah Roberson (Ada).

Aelker is the first 2-time D3football.com All-North Region honoree since Justin Crosier in 2010-11.

After earning second team recognition as a junior, Aelker became the only first-team selection from Bluffton in the 11 years that D3football.com has recognized All-Region players.

As a first-team honoree, Aelker is now eligible for All-American honors which will be announced Dec. 18 at the Stagg Bowl in Salem, Va.

Roberson capped off his second season by being named Third Team All-North Region by D3football.com.

The teams, selected in bal-loting by North Region sports information directors and D3football.com staff, were chosen from 228 nomina-tions by Division III member schools. A total of 76 players were chosen.

With all eyes on him and with 10 offensive coordina-tors scheming to keep Aelker away from the ball, all the senior did was go out and lead the nation in sacks for the second straight season while adding the most tackles-for-loss in NCAA Division III to his resume. His school record 13 sacks from 2014 stood for just one season as Aelker dropped opposing quarterbacks for an NCAA-best 15.5 sacks this season. He broke his school record of

22 TFL’s with 24 TFL’s as a senior, giving him the top two single-season marks in both sacks and TFL’s at Bluffton.

Aelker led the conference with three forced fumbles in addition to topping the con-ference leaderboard in sacks and TFL’s. His 60 tackles were second for the Beavers and he stuffed the stat sheet with an interception, four breakups, two quarterback hurries and a blocked kick. It marks the third straight year that Coach Dorrel has direct-ed the player who has topped the NCAA in sacks.

For the second straight season, senior end Aelker blitzed his way to HCAC Defensive Player of the Year acclaim. He is the only defen-sive player in Bluffton his-tory to be named the HCAC Player of the Year and now accomplished that feat twice!

Aelker expanded his rep-ertoire as a senior and gave Bluffton’s offense anoth-er weapon at tight end. He caught two passes, both for touchdowns.

He will leave Bluffton as the most decorated defensive player in school history. In addition to his back-to-back HCAC Defensive Player of the Year awards, Aelker tops Bluffton’s career lists with 35 sacks for 214 yards, 60 TFL’s for 286 yards, eight forced fumbles and 11 quar-terback hurries. He finished his career with 165 tackles (110 solos), two intercep-tions, 11 breakups, two fum-ble recoveries and a blocked kick. Aelker was a Second-Team All-HCAC selection as a sophomore before earning First Team All-HCAC honors the past two season. He was a

three-time HCAC Defensive Player of the Week, once as a sophomore and twice this season. Aelker is the first player to earn HCAC Defensive MVP honors twice since Matt Lawless from MSJ in 2004 and 2006 and is the only the second player to win the award consecutively fol-lowing Hanover linebacker Kevin O’Donohue in 1995-96.

The Bluffton record books also saw their share of adjust-ments on the offensive side of the ledger thanks to the out-landish numbers Roberson put up. He needed just over six games to knock Eric Metz and Jack Tomlinson out of the top spot for reception in a single season. Roberson’s 10 catches at Manchester gave him 70 and eight more than the previous mark of 62 receptions. He went on to haul in an even 100 for the season, tying him for #1 in the nation with 10.0 recep-tions per game.

His 1,096 receiving yards also surpassed the previous school record of 1,063 set by Eric Metz in 1999. Roberson equaled Donovan’s Brown’s school record of 10 receiv-ing touchdowns. He was named the HCAC Offensive Player of the Week after haul-ing in 10 catches for 143 yards and two touchdown’s in Bluffton’s 28-20 win at Manchester when he broke the season receptions record. Roberson sits at 19th in the nation with his 1,096 receiv-ing yards. With two years of eligibility left, Roberson is closing in on two major career marks.

DELPHOS — The scenery at “The Vatican” was different as Delphos St. John’s hosted Elida in their home opener with new scoreboards and updated state championship banners.

The lineup on the floor was also brand new for Coach Aaron Elwer as he welcomed five new starters that replaced five graduated seniors from last season’s regional runner-up team.

One thing that didn’t change from last year was the Blue Jays getting a victory over their next-door neighbors as they defeated the Bulldogs 51-42.

“This season offers a different kind of chal-lenge for our coaching staff,” Elwer comment-ed. “In my nine seasons here at St. John’s, this is the first time that our team doesn’t have at least one returning starter from the previous season. So it’s both unique and different along with it being exciting at the same time for me as a coach.”

Owen Rode scored the first point of the home season for the Jays on a drive for the early lead. After an Elida miss, Ryan Hellman followed with a drive on his own as the Blue Jays combined offensive and defensive inten-sity to start the game. The Bulldogs got on the board with a steal by Josh Press for the coast-to-coast layin followed by a score by Baylen Stinson on the inbounds play. The Jays ended the first quarter with a nice turnaround by senior Jesse Ditto for a 12-8 advantage.

It started to rain 3s in the second stanza as Press and Isaac McAdams hit for the Bulldogs and Robby Saine connected for his fourth tri-ple of the quarter to beat the halftime buzzer and giving the Blue Jays a 26-19 lead.

Elida cut the deficit to two to open the sec-ond half as Stinson scored five straight points.

“We challenged our kids at halftime to

increase their intensity on defense and to shut down the 3-pointers by St. John’s,” explained Bulldog coach Denny Thompson.

Elida’s defensive pressure held the Jays scoreless until Ditto broke the ice with a pair of free throws at the 4:22 mark. St. John’s moved the lead back to half a dozen on beautiful pass by Jared Wurst to Ditto for the layup. The Bulldogs forced the fifth Blue Jay turnover of the third with a steal by Press and basket, pulling his team within 30-27 with 2:10 remaining. Hellman scored under the rim and Saine sank a pair of free throws in the double-bonus, pushing the advantage back to seven as the quarter ended.

St. John’s continued to display great ball movement as Hellman found Tim Kreeger in the lane for two to start the final quarter. Elida wasn’t ready to go home yet with a bucket by Press and a Skyler Smith triple from the corner. After Kreeger and Saine scored for the Jays, the Bulldogs made one final charge with a 10-foot jumper by Smith and back-to-back baseline drives by Stinson and Press as Elida trailed 46-39. That’s as close as Elida would get as St. John’s was effective from the foul line to seal the victory.

“Our guys came out on our home floor and battled to victory,” continued Elwer. “It was perfect and the kids know it and it’s my job to coach them to victory. This is likely one of the most satisfying wins for me considering what’s happened in the off-season.”

Coach Thompson was equally proud of his team: “I’m proud of our effort tonight as the team worked hard to get the open shot. We just couldn’t get the reward in the end as the shots wouldn’t fall and we had too many self-inflicted turnovers.”

Elida (0-4) shot 40 percent from 2-point land and landed 25 percent from beyond the arc. They were 6-of-9 (67%) from the foul line. Leading the orange and black was Press with 18 points and Stinson scored 17.

They hit five but when Osterhage drained a 3-pointer from the left wing at 58 sec-onds, they led 27-8.

Jefferson took better care of the ball in the third stan-za — six miscues — and was 3-of-10 shooting from the field and 4-of-5 from the floor with senior Jessica Pimpas scoring seven of her nine markers (5 boards). Unfortunately, Kalida was hot — 8-of-14 — as six play-ers scored. Sophomore Sarah Klausing (9 counters) scored in transition at 7.0 seconds, their lead was 45-17 but 1-of-2 singles by sophomore Sarah Miller (6 markers, 5 boards) with :00.3 on the clock made it 45-18.

The visitors tried to rally in the finale and forced six turnovers in the first seven Kalida possessions and eight of the first 11 and trimmed the deficit to 45-26. However, that was as close as they could get as the LadyCats opened it back up as the game came to an end.

Jefferson ended up with 30 boards (11 offensive) as senior Bailey Gorman (4 markers) added four. They totaled 11 fouls.

Kalida netted 6-of-9 from the line (66.7%), with 31 car-oms (9 offensive) as senior Allison Recker grabbed nine and with 19 fouls. Senior Joni Kaufman added three steals.

Maybe the fans of the Browns and Cowboys can look for-ward to a matchup in Super Bowl LI.

Or SB CI — I’ll be there at 101!If only!If only the Ohio State Buckeyes would not have needed

a wakeup call against Michigan State, they would be in the College Football Playoff.

I think that will never happen again under Urban Meyer.Under Meyer, playing for sixth place isn’t gonna cut it.They will be playing Notre Dame on New Year’s Day and

to me, this is one of those games that should happen EVERY year!

These are the types of matchups — instant archrivals — that are what has made college football the lucrative business it is today and what makes it unique.

It’s not just the teams: players come and go; but the parti-sans that fuel the fire.

It would be even better if it was a regular-season match-up but when you consider schedules are made out years in advance — they can be altered but there has to be buyouts and such — it would take some commitment on everyone’s part to do so.

This is one of the things that has bothered me about the comings and goings of major college football; the loss of tra-ditional rivalries.

Texas and Texas A & M was a Thanksgiving night staple for years but no more.

Arkansas and Texas used to be heated rivals but no more.Florida State used to play its share of traditional powers

under Bobby Bowden but not so much anymore.Oh, for the good ole days!


He has 155 receptions, just eight away from the all-time mark of 163 currently held by Metz. His 1,637 career receiving yards are fourth all-time with Metz also topping that list with 2,677 career receiving yards. Roberson needs eight touch-downs to overtake Andy Nowlin’s school mark of 20 touch-down catches. He also established a new single-season record at Bluffton with six games of at least 100 yards receiving this year.

Bluffton wrapped up its season at 6-4 (5-3 HCAC) for the second year in a row under Dorrel. The 22 victories put up by the senior class were the most since the 2001 seniors went 24-16. The 2015 seniors were also the third straight class to go undefeated in the Bluffton-Defiance rivalry. Bluffton’s second straight six-win season under Dorrel marked the first time the Beavers have had consecutive winning seasons since 2000-01!

Commodores turn over WildcatsBY JIM METCALFE


DELPHOS — Saturday night saw a high-energy, highly-competitive boys bas-ketball matchup versus host Jefferson and Perry at The Stage.

The Commodores used full-court pressure defense to force 25 turnovers by the Wildcats .

They built up a 16-point halftime lead and held on for a 69-60 non-league victory.

The Commodores took the lead for good right off the bat — a 3-pointer by Seth Poling (12 points) 40 ticks into the matchup. Plummie Gardner ( 21 markers, 3 treys) was the big gun for the Commodores with 10 in the quarter (2 bombs) and Jakoby Harvey (16 mark-ers, 8 boards, 5 assists, 3 steals) added seven for the guests. On the other side, Jace Stockwell (17 count-ers) dropped in six and Trey Smith (game-high 28 mark-ers — 13-of-15 at the line — and 14 boards; 3 steals) tacked on five. The Wildcats, who trailed by as much as eight in the canto, kept in the contest by getting their guests in foul trouble and hit 5-of-5 at the line (24-of-27 for the game for 88.9%), including two by Drew Reiss at 34.9 ticks, to be within 23-16.

The turnover bug struck the hosts in a major way in the second period — eight — and that, combined with 3-of-9 shooting (17-of-45 for the game, 2-of-13 downtown, for 37.8%), kept them from mounting a major challenge in the stanza. Despite Smith downing 10 markers (6-of-7 at the line), Stockwell was the only other scorer in the period (3). Perry, which was 8-of-18 in the first stanza (22-of-52 total, 6-of-20 long range, for 42.3%), netted 8-of-17 in the second. This time, it was Harvey’s nine that set the pace. When Orion Monford (7 rebounds) hit a runner from the right side with no time on the clock, the visitors led 45-29.

“Our decision-making against their pressure was poor tonight. It wasn’t so much the initial part but the secondary part that caused us trouble,” Jefferson head coach Marc Smith said. “We did better the second half and that helped us pay better defense. We held them to 24 points the second half, so we gave ourselves a chance, but we just couldn’t get over the hump.”

The Wildcats settled down against Perry in the third and began to climb back in. Their mixing defenses — especial-ly a 3-2 zone with the 6-5 Trey Smith on the top — forced five miscues (16 total)

and eight missed shots in the first 4:30. Unfortunately, they could only get within 45-35 (two foul shots each from Dalton Hicks and Stockwell and a deuce by Brenen Auer). The rest of the way was even Steven; a Smith basket at 26 ticks was followed by a sin-gle by Gardner with 7.5 ticks left for a 51-41 Perry margin.

The Commodores held a double-digit lead most of the fourth period, despite Smith shaking loose for 11 (4-of-5 at the line), as the hosts turned it over seven times and canned 4-of-15 shots. The nearest they could get was 65-58 on two Smith free-bies at 59 ticks before the Commodores salted it away with 4-of-6 at the line down the stretch (19-of-32 total for 59.4%).

The board battle went to Jefferson 40-28 (13-11 offensive) as Hicks and Ryan Goergens had five each; the Wildcats had 25 fouls and Perry had 22.

“I told the kids afterward that we lost to a very talented team,” Coach Smith added. “Basketball is what those kids do; they work hard at it all year long and they take pride in their program. Coach (Matt) Tabler has them well-schooled.”

The Wildcats host Bluffton Friday, with a 6 p.m. junior varsity start.

In the JV matchup, the

Wildcats got a 3-ball from Tyler Bratton (16 markers) with 16 ticks left in the sec-ond overtime to give the Wildcats (2-0) a 63-62 tri-umph.

Davion Tyson added 10 for the hosts, while Logan Dray (7 bombs) countered with 25 and Jon Sawyer 11 (3 treys) for the Commodores.

“Alena played big for us again and Katlyn Wendel had a breakout game for us; we’ve been wanting that from her all season,” Williamson said. “It was nice to get those two playing well, now we just have to get everyone else to fill in and play well, too.”

Lincolnview got off to a strong start, forcing six Perry turnovers in the opening peri-od and leading 8-0 before the Commodores finally got on the board. They did it with-out being terribly efficient, however. Lincolnview went just 5-for-17 shooting in the opening quarter.

The Lancers’ lead grew as large as 18-2 before Perry’s Jala Phillips connected on

the first of her two 3-point-ers to stop the run. Maddie Gorman’s 3-pointer from the left wing just before the sec-ond-quarter buzzer gave the Lancers a 24-7 lead at inter-mission.

After Looser opened the third quarter with a trey, a com-bination of Perry’s defense and Lincolnview’s mistakes began to shift the momen-tum. The Lancers committed nine turnovers in the peri-od and Perry put together a 7-0 spurt that spanned four minutes of action and drew the Commodores as close as 13 before Gorman’s drive stopped the bleeding.

“(Perry) changed a little of what they were doing,” Williamson said. “They were denying our short corner,

they denied our ball-reversal passes, and we didn’t adjust well until Maddie started attacking the middle of the lane; that kind of made them soften up a little bit.”

Looser connected on a 3-pointer to put Lincolnview up by 17 early in the fourth, then effectively sealed the game when she created steals on consecutive possessions, each resulting in an easy Lancer score.

Lincolnview has a short turnaround before a trip to Northwest Conference foe Spencerville on Thursday.

“We only have one day to get ready for them,” Williamson said. “It’s a win-nable game but it’s going to be tough. They’re young, like we are, but they are skilled.

We’ve got our work cut out for us.”

Spencerville led 19-18 at the half and Grigsby had 17, including all three of her team’s treys. Both teams struggled from the field during the first 16 min-utes, the Bearcats hitting 29 percent (7 of 24), the Cougars 27 percent (6 of 22). However, Spencerville warmed up a bit in the second half, while Van Wert’s shooting would get even worse.

In an effort to stymie Grigsby, Van Wert abandoned its 1-2-2 zone to start the second half and tried different things, including a diamond-and-1 with Cassidy Meyers on Grigsby. However, the Lady Bearcats started the third quarter with a 12-3 run, none from Grigsby, and the Cougars didn’t mount a serious threat after that.

“A lot of it is inexperience,” said Van Wert coach Lance Moonshower. “When we do execute we miss the shot, but

most of the time we’re not executing and not getting good shots. They’re working hard. I love ‘em. They listen to every-thing we say. We’re just having trouble transferring it to the court.”

For the game, Spencerville outshot Van Wert from the field 34 percent (17 of 50) to 18 percent (8 of 45). The other big factor was rebounding, won by the Bearcats 39-22. Both teams were solid from the line — Spencerville at 71 percent (5 of 7), Van Wert at 67 percent (10 of 15). The Cougars had fewer turn-overs, 13-19.

Jacey Grigsby, the only senior on the Spencerville roster, led all scorers with 21, while sophomore Kaiden Grigsby added 10. The Cougars were led in scoring by freshman Abby Jackson with 9. Junior Ally Jackson and sophomore point guard Meyers added 7 apiece.

With only two returning letterwin-ners, Ally Jackson and junior Meghan

Moonshower, Coach Moonshower knew this year would be a struggle. Now, how-ever, the Cougars have five players out with injuries or illness, including two (sophomores Megan Braun and Hannah Bartley) out for the year, so depth is even more problematic.

Because of this, the junior varsity game was reduced to two quarters, won by Spencerville 16-14.

Maybe the fans of the Browns and Cowboys can look for-ward to a matchup in Super Bowl LI.

Or SB CI — I’ll be there at 101!If only!If only the Ohio State Buckeyes would not have needed

a wakeup call against Michigan State, they would be in the College Football Playoff.

I think that will never happen again under Urban Meyer.Under Meyer, playing for sixth place isn’t gonna cut it.They will be playing Notre Dame on New Year’s Day and

to me, this is one of those games that should happen EVERY year!

These are the types of matchups — instant archrivals — that are what has made college football the lucrative business it is today and what makes it unique.

It’s not just the teams: players come and go; but the parti-sans that fuel the fire.

It would be even better if it was a regular-season match-up but when you consider schedules are made out years in advance — they can be altered but there has to be buyouts and such — it would take some commitment on everyone’s part to do so.

This is one of the things that has bothered me about the comings and goings of major college football; the loss of tra-ditional rivalries.

Texas and Texas A & M was a Thanksgiving night staple for years but no more.

Arkansas and Texas used to be heated rivals but no more.Florida State used to play its share of traditional powers

under Bobby Bowden but not so much anymore.Oh, for the good ole days!


He has 155 receptions, just eight away from the all-time mark of 163 currently held by Metz. His 1,637 career receiving yards are fourth all-time with Metz also topping that list with 2,677 career receiving yards. Roberson needs eight touch-downs to overtake Andy Nowlin’s school mark of 20 touch-down catches. He also established a new single-season record at Bluffton with six games of at least 100 yards receiving this year.

Bluffton wrapped up its season at 6-4 (5-3 HCAC) for the second year in a row under Dorrel. The 22 victories put up by the senior class were the most since the 2001 seniors went 24-16. The 2015 seniors were also the third straight class to go undefeated in the Bluffton-Defiance rivalry. Bluffton’s second straight six-win season under Dorrel marked the first time the Beavers have had consecutive winning seasons since 2000-01!

Commodores turn over WildcatsBY JIM METCALFE


DELPHOS — Saturday night saw a high-energy, highly-competitive boys bas-ketball matchup versus host Jefferson and Perry at The Stage.

The Commodores used full-court pressure defense to force 25 turnovers by the Wildcats .

They built up a 16-point halftime lead and held on for a 69-60 non-league victory.

The Commodores took the lead for good right off the bat — a 3-pointer by Seth Poling (12 points) 40 ticks into the matchup. Plummie Gardner ( 21 markers, 3 treys) was the big gun for the Commodores with 10 in the quarter (2 bombs) and Jakoby Harvey (16 mark-ers, 8 boards, 5 assists, 3 steals) added seven for the guests. On the other side, Jace Stockwell (17 count-ers) dropped in six and Trey Smith (game-high 28 mark-ers — 13-of-15 at the line — and 14 boards; 3 steals) tacked on five. The Wildcats, who trailed by as much as eight in the canto, kept in the contest by getting their guests in foul trouble and hit 5-of-5 at the line (24-of-27 for the game for 88.9%), including two by Drew Reiss at 34.9 ticks, to be within 23-16.

The turnover bug struck the hosts in a major way in the second period — eight — and that, combined with 3-of-9 shooting (17-of-45 for the game, 2-of-13 downtown, for 37.8%), kept them from mounting a major challenge in the stanza. Despite Smith downing 10 markers (6-of-7 at the line), Stockwell was the only other scorer in the period (3). Perry, which was 8-of-18 in the first stanza (22-of-52 total, 6-of-20 long range, for 42.3%), netted 8-of-17 in the second. This time, it was Harvey’s nine that set the pace. When Orion Monford (7 rebounds) hit a runner from the right side with no time on the clock, the visitors led 45-29.

“Our decision-making against their pressure was poor tonight. It wasn’t so much the initial part but the secondary part that caused us trouble,” Jefferson head coach Marc Smith said. “We did better the second half and that helped us pay better defense. We held them to 24 points the second half, so we gave ourselves a chance, but we just couldn’t get over the hump.”

The Wildcats settled down against Perry in the third and began to climb back in. Their mixing defenses — especial-ly a 3-2 zone with the 6-5 Trey Smith on the top — forced five miscues (16 total)

and eight missed shots in the first 4:30. Unfortunately, they could only get within 45-35 (two foul shots each from Dalton Hicks and Stockwell and a deuce by Brenen Auer). The rest of the way was even Steven; a Smith basket at 26 ticks was followed by a sin-gle by Gardner with 7.5 ticks left for a 51-41 Perry margin.

The Commodores held a double-digit lead most of the fourth period, despite Smith shaking loose for 11 (4-of-5 at the line), as the hosts turned it over seven times and canned 4-of-15 shots. The nearest they could get was 65-58 on two Smith free-bies at 59 ticks before the Commodores salted it away with 4-of-6 at the line down the stretch (19-of-32 total for 59.4%).

The board battle went to Jefferson 40-28 (13-11 offensive) as Hicks and Ryan Goergens had five each; the Wildcats had 25 fouls and Perry had 22.

“I told the kids afterward that we lost to a very talented team,” Coach Smith added. “Basketball is what those kids do; they work hard at it all year long and they take pride in their program. Coach (Matt) Tabler has them well-schooled.”

The Wildcats host Bluffton Friday, with a 6 p.m. junior varsity start.

In the JV matchup, the

Wildcats got a 3-ball from Tyler Bratton (16 markers) with 16 ticks left in the sec-ond overtime to give the Wildcats (2-0) a 63-62 tri-umph.

Davion Tyson added 10 for the hosts, while Logan Dray (7 bombs) countered with 25 and Jon Sawyer 11 (3 treys) for the Commodores.

“Alena played big for us again and Katlyn Wendel had a breakout game for us; we’ve been wanting that from her all season,” Williamson said. “It was nice to get those two playing well, now we just have to get everyone else to fill in and play well, too.”

Lincolnview got off to a strong start, forcing six Perry turnovers in the opening peri-od and leading 8-0 before the Commodores finally got on the board. They did it with-out being terribly efficient, however. Lincolnview went just 5-for-17 shooting in the opening quarter.

The Lancers’ lead grew as large as 18-2 before Perry’s Jala Phillips connected on

the first of her two 3-point-ers to stop the run. Maddie Gorman’s 3-pointer from the left wing just before the sec-ond-quarter buzzer gave the Lancers a 24-7 lead at inter-mission.

After Looser opened the third quarter with a trey, a com-bination of Perry’s defense and Lincolnview’s mistakes began to shift the momen-tum. The Lancers committed nine turnovers in the peri-od and Perry put together a 7-0 spurt that spanned four minutes of action and drew the Commodores as close as 13 before Gorman’s drive stopped the bleeding.

“(Perry) changed a little of what they were doing,” Williamson said. “They were denying our short corner,

they denied our ball-reversal passes, and we didn’t adjust well until Maddie started attacking the middle of the lane; that kind of made them soften up a little bit.”

Looser connected on a 3-pointer to put Lincolnview up by 17 early in the fourth, then effectively sealed the game when she created steals on consecutive possessions, each resulting in an easy Lancer score.

Lincolnview has a short turnaround before a trip to Northwest Conference foe Spencerville on Thursday.

“We only have one day to get ready for them,” Williamson said. “It’s a win-nable game but it’s going to be tough. They’re young, like we are, but they are skilled.

We’ve got our work cut out for us.”

Spencerville led 19-18 at the half and Grigsby had 17, including all three of her team’s treys. Both teams struggled from the field during the first 16 min-utes, the Bearcats hitting 29 percent (7 of 24), the Cougars 27 percent (6 of 22). However, Spencerville warmed up a bit in the second half, while Van Wert’s shooting would get even worse.

In an effort to stymie Grigsby, Van Wert abandoned its 1-2-2 zone to start the second half and tried different things, including a diamond-and-1 with Cassidy Meyers on Grigsby. However, the Lady Bearcats started the third quarter with a 12-3 run, none from Grigsby, and the Cougars didn’t mount a serious threat after that.

“A lot of it is inexperience,” said Van Wert coach Lance Moonshower. “When we do execute we miss the shot, but

most of the time we’re not executing and not getting good shots. They’re working hard. I love ‘em. They listen to every-thing we say. We’re just having trouble transferring it to the court.”

For the game, Spencerville outshot Van Wert from the field 34 percent (17 of 50) to 18 percent (8 of 45). The other big factor was rebounding, won by the Bearcats 39-22. Both teams were solid from the line — Spencerville at 71 percent (5 of 7), Van Wert at 67 percent (10 of 15). The Cougars had fewer turn-overs, 13-19.

Jacey Grigsby, the only senior on the Spencerville roster, led all scorers with 21, while sophomore Kaiden Grigsby added 10. The Cougars were led in scoring by freshman Abby Jackson with 9. Junior Ally Jackson and sophomore point guard Meyers added 7 apiece.

With only two returning letterwin-ners, Ally Jackson and junior Meghan

Moonshower, Coach Moonshower knew this year would be a struggle. Now, how-ever, the Cougars have five players out with injuries or illness, including two (sophomores Megan Braun and Hannah Bartley) out for the year, so depth is even more problematic.

Because of this, the junior varsity game was reduced to two quarters, won by Spencerville 16-14.

Mockingjay 2

The Future is Finished - ‘Hunger Games’ finally runs out of gas in ‘Mockingjay 2’. The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2 Starring Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutherson, Donald Sutherland and Liam Hemsworth.Seymour Hoffman returns, and he died in early 2014. It could have used a bit more of the colorful Games escort Effie Trinket (Elizabeth Banks) and wackadoo master of ceremonies Caesar Flickerman (Stanley Tucci), but hey, you can’t cram everyone front and center, even in a movie that runs two hours and nearly 20 minutes.

And about that: Most of those minutes are filled with chatter. Characters talk a lot—about what they’ve done, they’re doing and going to do. Occasionally they get up and actually do something—like Katniss throwing a cup at a cat, or heading out on a covert, high-stakes mission, which sets up the two big action scenes. One (a subterranean attack by a horde of hissing, spastic lizard-people) looks like something out of a hor-ror flick, with a nod to Alien; the other involves a massive, surging wave of sludge and oil, which everyone outruns like it’s only slightly more terrifying than an overflowing toilet—or not-even-there computer effect that it really is.

And it’s dark. Yes, people die. But it looks dark, dim and dull—greys, browns, blanched-out, bleach-y, blahhhh tones

that seem to blot out the sun. Sure, it’s a grim, wintry, war-time world. But why did director Francis Lawrence (who’s helmed every Games movie, except the first) make every scene look like it was lit with a 40-watt bulb? Did he blow his lighting budget on CGI sludge and lizard people?

And does everyone in the movie have that “over it” look because they’re tired of all that fighting for the revolution—or because they really are? As Mockingjay flutters and flaps to a close, this victory lap looks and feels like a slog.

The Hunger Games fran-chise made billions of box-office bucks and became a pop-cul-tural phenomenon. But finally the Games have run out of gas. Jennifer Lawrence, now 25, has become a global, Oscar-winning superstar, above and beyond the YA bow-and-arrow heroine, the “girl on fire” she started out playing four years ago.

“I am done,” Katniss says in one scene. Yes she is. Congratulations and good job, everyone. Now proceed toward the exits, and let’s all just keep moving.

—Neil Pond, Parade Magazine

Directed by Francis LawrencePG-13

“Mandatory Viewing” is the directive that pops up on holographic screens across all of post-apocalyptic Panem when dictator Coriolanus Snow (Donald Sutherland) beams a transmission to the masses.

That message couldn’t be truer for Hunger Games fans, especially as it pertains to this movie, the final film of the four made from author Suzanne Collins’ trilogy of best-selling dystopian young-adult novels. This is the end, the big finish. The Games have come to a close—mandatory viewing for the masses, if ever there was.

The first Hunger Games, in 2012, made Jennifer Lawrence a household name as Katniss Everdeen, the gallop-ing, galvanizing firebrand who became the leader of a revolution and an icon of female empow-erment. As Katniss fought and forged her way to freedom in brutal, futuristic “games,” fans faithfully came back, movie after movie, to follow her—and see just how faithfully Hollywood kept to the details of Collins’ books, which melded a young-love triangle with wicked satire on reality TV, media propaganda, social stratification and war.

Fans will be satisfied with Mockingjay—Part 2. It covers all the bases and ties up the loose ends, and every-body’s back on board: Peeta (Josh Hutcherson), Gale (Liam Hemsworth), Haymitch (Woody Harrelson), President Coin (Julianne Moore), Primrose (Willow Shields), Finnick (Sam Claflin), Cressida (Natalie Dormer), Johanna (Jena Malone).
