DELPHOS - A significant focus of legis-lation currently under review by Ohio’s leg-islators centers around education. Such was the message presented by State Representative Bob Cupp (R) as part of his legislative update presented Monday in the community room of the Delphos Public Library. And, according to Cupp, all of the news is positive for school districts in the region.

First, Cupp announced a school funding increase of 6.4 percent for the 2015-16 school year and 5.3 percent for the following year. These increases, he explained, represent a response to a request for greater uniformity from educational professionals and an unprec-edented shift in how and when such increases are formulated.

“This could be a historic opportunity,” he said. “Usually the school funding formula changes are made at the top, when the eco-

nomic cycle is ready to go down and so you can’t pay for what you’ve planned in them. We’re at the upswing of the economic cycle, so hopefully they’ll take root and become institutionalized.”

Delphos Local School District Superintendent Kevin Wolfe raised the issue of caps on school district funding that limit the amount of money districts are allotted.

Referring to a summary of the budget passed by the House, Wolfe asked, “It says here that (the cap) will not decrease, but is it going to let up? Any new students we get, we don’t get any new foundation money. Is that going to change?”

While expressing the caveat that state leg-islators have no control over federal monies, Cupp shared the belief that both Ohio’s House and its Senate are interested in raising, if not eliminating caps. In explaining the situation, he pointed out what he apparently considered an anomaly in how districts are funded.

OTTOVILLE — There is an old expression about strong fences making good neighbors. Sadly, in the case of Bee Line Trucking and the Main Street Market, Dollar Street gets in the way of con-struction and fails to serve as a barrier. And therein lies the crux of the problem.

Pat and Tonia Vetter addressed members of the Ottoville Village Council during their meeting on Monday and, citing con-cerns about truck traffic on the unmarked road, sup-ported a proposal that the village vacate Dollar Street. Of particular concern to the owners of the restaurant/deli is the proximity of their front door to passing semis.

“We think it’s a road that’s not been maintained,” Pat Vetter said. “Most peo-ple aren’t aware that there’s a road there. We feel that’s a true safety issue, not know-ing there’s a road there. We’re definitely in favor of vacating.”

Representing Celadon Trucking, of which Bee Line and three other busi-nesses located on Dollar Street are wholly owned subsidiaries, Kevin C. Connell — an attorney with the Dayton firm of Freund, Freeze & Arnold — vehe-mently argued against clos-ing the street, saying that it would create an unnec-essary financial and logis-tical burden for Bee Line. Further, he denied the exis-tence of any safety issue.

“(Dollar Street) is there to accommodate truck traf-fic. It’s used for truck traf-fic and there hasn’t been a safety issue, because there’s been no incident,” Connell asserted. “Bee Line and the businesses that are locat-ed there are good corporate citizens, they provide jobs in this community and act-ing in favor of one business to the judgment of another is not the proper use of vacation.”

Jeff Basinger, former co-owner and operations manager of Bee Line, then addressed council.

— The salary range for one per-

manent full-time superintendent of wastewater shall be $2,018.81-$2,246.98 per bi-weekly pay peri-od, and must hold a Wastewater Operator III License and must be willing to seek a Class IV license when deemed appropriate by the Board of Control.

— The salary range for one permanent full-time maintenance superintendent shall be $1,981.22 to $2,067.02 per bi-weekly pay period.

— The salary range for one

permanent full-time superinten-dent of park maintenance shall be $1,981.22-$2,067.02 per bi-week-ly pay period.

Pole fire kills the lightsBY steVen COBUrn-GriFFis

DHi Media staff [email protected]

DELPHOS — A little after dawn Tuesday morning, parts of Delphos went dark. At roughly 7:15 a.m., a disruption in the electrical supply killed traffic lights along Main Street and left homes and businesses on the east side of the road without power.

According to Jason Birkemeier, supervisor of the line crew dispatched by American Electric Power to repair the problem, cracks in protective porcelain insulators conducted electricity to the wood on which they were mounted. The resultant flames charred crossbars and chewed into electrical lines on a pole located in the alley between Second and First Streets, just across from equipment bays at Delphos Fire and Rescue.

“It’s what we call a pole fire,” Birkemeier explained.Crews worked to replace the damaged section and succeed-

ed in returning power to the area by 11 a.m.

A boy was born on May 4 to Andrea and Kory Sebenoler of Elida.

SPENCERVILLE — Spencerville Village Council met in regular session on Monday in Council Chambers with Mayor John P. Johnson presiding. Mayor Johnson led the pledge of allegiance. Responding to roll call was Mike Bice, John Miller, Phil Briggs, John Medaugh and Greg Hover. Absent was Greg Leidy. Also in attendance were Village Attorney Jason Flower, Village Administrator Sean Chapman, Police Chief Darin Cook and Clerk/Treasurer Dawn Bailey.

Medaugh moved to approve the minutes of the April 20 meeting and Miller seconded the motion. Roll was called; motion passed unanimously.

Bice moved to accept the April financials from the Clerk/Treasurer and Briggs seconded the motion.

Good of the VillageResidents Bill and Linda Short of 416 S. Canal St. attend-

ed the meeting because they received a letter from Chapman stating that their sanitary sewer was illegally tapped into the storm sewer and they had ninety days to remedy the prob-lem. Chapman and other village employees had been at the residence to assist the Shorts’ in resolving the problem. Steve Parsons, a relative of the Shorts’, spoke on their behalf at the meeting. After much discussion, some of which was heated, Parsons asked if Chapman could do a dye test on the south sanitary sewer; one had already been done on the north side which had determined the illegal tap. Chapman agreed to con-duct the dye test the next day.

To wrap up April/National Donate Life Month, several people from northwest and west central Ohio took a seat to take a stand on the importance of organ and tis-sue donation.

Two Donate Life Sit-ins were held – one for eight hours on National Blue and Green Day, April 17, at WHIO in Dayton, and the other for 24 hours from April 21 – 22 at WTOL in Toledo. During these marathon events, trans-plant recipients, donor fam-ily members, living donors and others connected to the cause rotated in and out of the Green Chair, the star of Life Connection of Ohio’s awareness campaign. Stories shared by Green Chair “sit-ters” included an 11-year-old recipient who “loves my new liver” because it allows her to do everything her friends can do; a cornea recipient whose gift of sight means he can watch his toddler grow; par-ents honoring their 20-year-old son’s life-saving legacy left through organ and tissue donation; a living donor and her kidney recipient showcas-ing their life-long bond; and someone waiting for a liver transplant who is hoping her chair doesn’t go empty.

The overstuffed Green Chair’s meaning is two-fold. When it’s empty, the Green Chair represents over-whelming sadness from the loss of someone who was waiting for a transplant that didn’t come in time. But when someone is sitting in the Green Chair, it show-cases a transplant recipient’s

second chance at life. The tag-line of the Green Chair Campaign is “Don’t let another chair go empty” because e n c o u r a g i n g more people to register as donors means there will be fewer empty chairs. That

tagline became a reality during the

Donate Life Sit-ins.The sit-ins couldn’t have

been timelier. Currently, there are more than 123,000 people on the National Transplant Waiting List, including over 3,200 Ohioans. The organ shortage continues to grow at a staggering rate, as another person is added to the waiting list every 10 minutes. Sadly, 21 chairs go empty every day because the need for organs far outweighs the supply. The good news: One person has the power to save up to eight lives through organ donation and heal 50 more through tissue donation.

The American Red Cross asks eligible donors to help ensure blood is available for patients in need by giving blood in May before the busy summer season kicks in.

Blood and platelet donations often decrease when regular donors are vacationing and school is out of session, but the need for blood is constant. Donors are needed in the weeks leading up to summer to help alleviate this seasonal decline.

Donors of all blood types – especially those with types O negative, A negative and B negative – are needed to help ensure blood is available for patients this spring. Those who come to donate blood May 23 -25 will receive a limited-edition Red Cross-branded RuMe® tote bag, while supplies last.

Two dancers, Kelsea Allenbaugh and Kylie Hohman, from Kim Hohman’s DanceWorks were select-ed to perform at Dr. and Lisa Oz’s HealthCorps Gala. The dancers attend-ed Dynamite National Talent Dance Competition last May in Columbus and auditioned at the competition. They were selected by an intense audi-tion directed by Stepp Stewart, owner and director of Dynamite as well as the choreographer for the Dr. Oz show.

This was the ninth annual HealthCorps gala. This year they honored Jordin Sparks, American Idol winner, and Montel Williams, American television personality.

The HealthCorps mission is to raise funds to fight child obesity and expand the organizations in school health edu-cation programming. HealthCorps was founded by Dr. and Lisa Oz and they were the co hosts of the Gala. This was a black tie event, a magical evening of dining, dancing and entertainment (Sugarhill Gang and Kat Deluna)..

The two dancers along with stu-dio owner/instructor, Kim Hohman and instructor Olivia Brown traveled to New York City for this amazing opportunity and experience. Kelsea and Kylie attended rehearsals learning the choreography to perform a jazz number at the event. Kim and Olivia volunteered decorating for the event. “This was such an amazing experience for all of us” said studio owner Kim Hohman.

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.

*Diversification does not guarantee a profit or protect against loss.

To learn why consolidating your retirement accounts to Edward Jones makes sense, call your local financial advisor today.

DELPHOS — Eighth-grade students at St. John’s High School recently completed a Coasting on Energy project.

For this project, the students, working in groups of four or five, had to design, sketch to scale, build and modify a roller coaster.

The roller coaster had to have three hills. The first hill could be a maximum of one meter high. The students had to choose their own materials for the track. Then the students had to choose a vehicle which would fit on their track. The vehicle had to successfully complete the entire track without stopping.

When the students were faced with unsuccessful attempts, they had to make modifications to the track or vehicle. The students were challenged to make the hills as high as possible and still be successful.

Then they were also challenged to add turns and loops. Again, modifications had to be made. The students collected data and recorded the modifications on a data table.

When the projects were complete, the students had to give an oral presentation, which included a visual aid, along with the demonstration of their roller coaster. Many groups incorporated power points or post-ers for the visual aid.

The students had to include a writ-ten report on the process of the project and what they learned. In the process, the students gained hands-on experience with conversion of potential energy into kinetic energy. They had to explain in the report and label on the sketch where the maxi-mum potential energy and maximum kinet-ic energy occurred on the roller coaster.

The students had to include in the report the knowledge that was gained about this

energy transformation, how the force of friction can affect the roller coaster, and the idea that energy cannot be created or destroyed in the law of conservation of energy.

By working in groups, the students gained life experiences of collaboration. The students had to, as a group, be responsi-ble for meeting deadlines. Communication was a vital part in this project. The students had to be willing to listen to their group members’ ideas and choose what was best for their project.

The students were given a chance to vote for the best overall roller coaster. The winners were the developers of The Twister. This team consisted of Josh Gerding, Betty Vorst, Skye Stevenson, Luke Reindel, and Tony Sanders.

Bring back the ‘old’ NFL Draft!

By JIM METCALFEDHI Media Sports Editor

[email protected]

I know I have written about this before but I will re-iterate — I do not like how the National Football League handles its Draft.

I do not like the three days that the event takes to run and the disjointedness of the whole thing — of course, this is all in my most humble opinion.

I u n d e r -s t a n d that, sup-posedly, it was done for m o o l a h purpos-es; in o t h e r w o r d s , television.

My wonder if it really has “made things better” for the average fan.

Let’s face it — and you all know from my columns the last couple of weeks; I’m “old school” when it comes to a lot of this.

The Draft has grown from a blip on the screen in the olden days to big box-office shenanigans.

I figure that is part of “organic” development of the not-quite-yet-but-getting-there National Pastime — as the game grew more popular by leaps and bounds, its Draft would also grow the same way.

I get that. No one forced this — it just happened.

However, I just wonder if the average fan — I’m not talking about the citizens that

live and die with this stuff; that are constantly on chat rooms, forums, team sites and such at 1 a.m.; that would rather follow what their favor-ite team is doing in mid-Feb-ruary and can quote you size, weight, arm length, 40 time, etc., of potential draft picks for their team than actually eat and drink sustenance — has lost interest in this.

I know for myself, I watched so very little of the proceedings, not even when the

C o w b o y s and my “ f a v o r -ite” owner, Jerry Jones, p i c k e d their usual “ t a l e n t ” , b e c a u s e f r a n k l y , who has the time?

I just wonder who actually “made” this decision and if they could look beyond the greenbacks that someone told them they would make.

It’s not as if the NFL doesn’t make enough money anyway.

All this for what is essen-tially a market for potential, not proven professional abil-ity.

Look how many can’t-missers … miss.

Oh, well.Times change.—————-Can you imagine what it

must have been like for the Chicago White Sox and the Baltimore Orioles to play a game at Camden Yards with-out any fans present?

It’s sad, really, that it’s

Lady Bulldogs rally by TitansBy JIM METCALFE

DHI Media Sports [email protected]

ELIDA — Fast-pitch softball — like any sport — is taking advantage of what you do and what your opponent gives you.

Elida did just that in its Western Buckeye League contest versus Ottawa-Glandorf on a warm Tuesday afternoon at Dorothy Edwards Field.

The Lady Bulldogs took advantage of six Lady Titan errors and a solid complete-game outing from right-hander Michaela Black to rally for an 8-6 victory.

The Lady Titans (8-12, 3-6 WBL) had themselves rallied from a 2-0 second-inning deficit to take a 4-2 edge in the top of the third.

Elida (13-4, 7-2) took the lead for good in the home fifth against O-G complete-game starter Megan Kitchen. Katelyn Sumption got aboard via a leadoff error and pinch-runner Kathy Jenks advanced on a passed ball. An out later, Lydia Burnett walked. Skylar Hurst hit a ground ball but an error on the attempted forceout at third left everyone safe. An out later, lefty Tyler Thompson blooped a 2-run single to left center to get Jenks and Burnett in to tie the score at 4; Hurst kept going to third and a throwing error allowed her to put the hosts up 5-4.

The Lady ‘Dawgs tacked on their final three tallies in the bottom of the sixth. With one down, Sabrina Kline singled into left and Sumption lined a knock into right to put runners on the corners. Kylee Makin slapped a hit to center to get Kline home. An out later, Hurst was plunked to load the bases. Kelsey Goodman walked to plate Sumption. An error on Thompson’s grounder got Makin in for the eighth run.

The visitors made it interesting in the top of the seventh. A 1-out triple by Emily Annesser ended an 11-out streak and scored on a rip to left by Erin Basinger. An error on Kitchen’s grounder put two on. Kylie Gerdeman’s 1-out hit to right plated Basinger. However, Black induced Bailey Cramer to pop out.

Elida went up 2-0 in the last of the sec-ond. Makin beat out an infield hit off the pitcher’s glove, took second on a throwing error, advanced on a wild pitch and scored on a 1-out slash to left by Hurst. Goodman walked. Thompson laid down a sacrifice bunt; a throwing error on the play brought Hurst in from second for that 2-0 edge.

O-G replied with a 4-spot in the third. Annesser beat out an infield hit. An out later, Kitchen singled. Both advanced on a wild pitch and scored as Kadie Hempfling slugged a double. In turn, she took third on a bunt sin-gle by Gerdeman; when the defense hesitated, both advanced a base. Leanna Zynda lashed a 2-out run-scoring knock.

“Michaela didn’t have her best stuff today. You’re not always going to and that is when you have to battle; she did that and I’m proud of her for it,” Elida head coach Mike Eilerman observed. “We had to be patient at the plate; with the drop ball that Kitchen throws that just falls off the table, we moved up in the batter’s box. We only had a bad inning on defense when we’ve been so steady all season.”

St. John’s outlasts Versailles 4-3By LARRY HEIING

DHI Media [email protected]

DELPHOS — Respect.After a lower than expected seeding

for the upcoming sectional tournament, the St. John’s baseball team is looking to earn some respect with some area teams.

The Blue Jays played with the pro-verbial chip on their shoulders Tuesday night at Stadium Park with a 4-3 defeat of Versailles in Midwest Athletic Conference action.

The Blue Jays made a convincing statement in the bottom of the first inning as leadoff hitter Austin Heiing reached with an infield hit and Seth Linder walked. Buddy Jackson delivered with a double to left to score Heiing, giving the Jays the early 1-0 lead. After Eric Vogt reached with the Jays’ second infield hit of the inning, Jacob Youngpeter singled just over the Versailles first baseman to bring home Linder as the bags remained juiced. Senior Jorden Boone continued the uprising by ripping a single to center to stake St. John’s an early 4-0 lead.

“The first inning by our guys really set the tone for the game,” explained St. John’s coach Jerry Jackson. “We wanted to come out and make some noise right away as the boys did the talking with their bats.”

After retiring Versailles in order in the first inning, St. John’s starter Youngpeter surrendered a leadoff walk to opposing pitcher Dan Borchers. The young southpaw then retired the next three Tiger batters with a pop out and a pair of strikeouts.

Linder collected the Jays’ sixth hit in just two innings but was stranded on base as they went down quietly in the second inning.

In fact, both starting pitchers took command of the game in the middle innings.

Youngpeter sent the Tigers down in order for the second time and Borchers gave up a leadoff off single to Chad Etgen that was erased when Versailles pulled of a double play later in the inning.

Josh Warnecke became the third Blue

Jay to lead off the inning with a single in the fourth. Aaron Reindel reached with a grounder into left but was stranded as Versailles reliever Austin Knapke pitched of the jam by recording three straight outs.

St. John’s also made a pitching change in the fifth inning when Coach Jackson called Vogt to the mound for Youngpeter. Vogt notched two strikeouts in the frame to maintain the shutout.

Crestview softball shuts out Jeffcats

By NICK JOHNSONDHI Media [email protected]

CONVOY — The Crestview Lady Knights welcomed Northwest Conference foe Jefferson to the newly-minted Owen Pugh Field at the Crestview Sports Complex on Monday night.

Crestview — at worst — won a share of the NWC with a 6-0 victory over the Lady Wildcats.

The Lady Knights struck quickly in the bottom of the first frame as Cora Millay dented the plate on a Brady Guest RBI single. Guest later came around to score on a passed ball to make the score 2-0, Crestview. The next two Crestview bat-ters — Jada Preston and Terra Crowle — reached base via a single and walk. Later on in the frame, Mackenzie Riggenbach singled to bring home the fourth run of the game for the Lady Knights.

In the bottom of the second frame, Kenadie Speith walked and stole second to give the Lady Knights a runner in scoring position. Two batters later, Tianna Rager hit a deep fly ball to left field that allowed Speith touch home plate and make the score 5-0, Lady Knights.

The final run of the game was scored in leadoff fashion to start the bottom of the fifth frame as Preston hit a long solo shot to left-center field to bring the score to 6-0.

Coming into the top of the seventh frame, Crowle had allowed zero hits and only two base-runners as Claire Thompson walked and Kaylin Hartsock reached base via the hit by pitch.

To start the frame, Crowle — still working on the no-no — hit the first batter, Jessica Pimpas, who later advanced to second on an error. Crowle retired the last three batters on a pop-out to second base and two straight groundouts to com-plete the no-hitter.

“This was a really big weekend for us with the field naming and the doubleheader on Saturday; I feel after that first inning, we came out kind of flat. But Jefferson’s pitcher (Thompson) was able to keep us off balance and swing off of our front foot. Terra Crowle was huge tonight throwing the no-hitter but she also got a lot of help from the middle infielders as Sydney Bowen and Tianna Rager did a nice job on the defensive side,” said Crestview coach Carl Etzler.

“We faced a very good team tonight and I’m proud of the way we played defense; unfortunately, we were able to get a hit but Crowle did a good job of getting us behind in the count so we were unable to make good contact with the ball. On the other hand, I think Thompson did a good job of keeping the Crestview batters off-balance after that first frame,” said Delphos Jefferson coach Josiah Stober.

The Lady Knights improve to 15-5 on the year and finished 7-1 in the NWC, which guarantees them at least a share of the crown as Allen East has two games left to play with a 5-1 record.

Knights hold on vs. Wildcats, seize solo NWC baseball crown

By BRIAN BASSETTDHI Media [email protected]

CONVOY - Coach Jim Wharton wanted to put pitcher Derek Stout in a pres-sure-packed situation heading into the tourna-ment to see how the fresh-man would fare.

After a 2-out, bas-es-loaded strikeout to clinch a 3-2 win over Delphos Jefferson and the outright Northwest Conference Championship Monday evening at Crestview, it looks like Stout and the Knights (13-5, 8-0) will be just fine.

After cruising through most of the contest, starter Jon Krouse walked Jefferson 9-batter Jacob Boop and hit 2-hole hitter Gaige Rassman with a pitch. The two mistakes mirrored a mas-terful performance by Krouse, who exit-ed with a 3-1 lead and the tying run on first.

“Jonny Krouse started for us and got us deep into the game,” explained Wharton. “The one thing with Jon is, you can’t walk the number-9 guy. He lost a little bit of his focus. He was thinking about the end result rather than getting the end result. Then he hit a batter.”

Then entered Stout, who immedi-ately walked Jefferson’s Gage Mercer to load the bases and put the potential game-winning run aboard.

After a quick strikeout, Ryan

Bullinger drew a walk off Stout and made things even more interesting, bringing the Wildcats within a run.

Stout settled in, however, and got a strikeout when he needed it most to seal

the win for the Knights.“We decided to go with

Stouty - a freshman who has been throwing more for us at the varsity level. We just wanted to get him in a pres-sure-type situation so we can potentially use him down the road,” continued Wharton.

Krouse got the win, allow-ing two runs, both earned, on four hits while walking two

and hitting a batter. Stout got the save for his effort.

“It was a well-played game by both teams,” said Jefferson coach Doug Geary. “We were similar in errors, hits and base-runners. It just came down to them finding a way to plate one more run than we did.”

Crestview found a way to plate two of its runs in the home half of the third. Senior left fielder Mitchell Rickard was hit by pitch and advance to third on a double by senior designated hitter Jake Lippi - the first hard-hit ball of the eve-ning off Jefferson starter Mercer.

After junior catcher Jordan Miller walked to load the bases, senior catcher Nate Owens unloaded them with an RBI double to give Crestview a 2-1 lead.

The final Knight run came in the home fifth when Miller walked to open the inning and advanced two bases on a single passed ball. Owens then flew out deep to center field which was plenty far

enough to bring in Miller on the sacri-fice fly. The run on Owens’ third RBI of the evening turned out to be enough to secure the Knight the win - barely.

The first run of the game came from the Wildcats in the top half of the first. Mercer helped his cause with a 2-out tri-ple and centerfielder Bullinger brought him home on an RBI single.

Unfortunately for Jefferson, that was all the damage they would cause at the plate until the drama-filled seventh.

“You can’t fault the effort we gave,” said Geary. “With Crestview being at the top of the league our kids look forward to playing them. We can’t fault what we did. If we play like this in the tour-nament we should have a pretty good opportunity (to advance).”

Mercer was the tough-luck loser for the Wildcats. He went six innings allow-ing three earned runs on four hits while walking three hitting a pair of batter and striking out one.

“Gage has been coming on for us,” said Geary. “He’s got a bulldog men-tality and he’s taking it to the mound. He’s popping the glove, throwing strikes and getting ahead (of batters). His pitch count was down which (is good to see).”

The Knights return to action today when the travel to Ayersville before a much-needed day off Wednesday.

Ayersville flies by Jennings in BB actionBy JIM METCALFE

DHI Media Sports [email protected]

FORT JENNINGS — There were not a lot of hits in Monday afternoon’s Fort Jennings versus Ayersville non-league baseball tilt at a damp Fort Jennings Village Park.

There was still some offense as the teams combined for 15 free passes from five pitchers.

In the end, it came down to cap-italizing on what they did get as the visiting Pilots grabbed an 8-3 victory.

The Musketeers (4-16) challenged in the home first against Ayersville starter Dawson Dales: a 1-out hit to right by Mark Metzger and back-to-back free passes (on 8 pitches) to Brandon Wehri and Austin Kehres. However, they remained loaded as three of 10 left stranded for the contest.

The Pilots (16-5) got to Musketeer starter Kehres in the top of the second, bat-ting around and using one hit and five bases-on-balls to score three runs. Three of the walks were with the bases loaded: Jacob Miller (plating Tyler Brown), Jacob Kahle (Abe Stottlemayer) and Dales (Austin Killitzen).

The Orange and Black threatened again in the home second: a 1-out walk to Kyle

Hellman (advancing to sec-ond on a wild pitch) and Austin Luebrecht. A passed ball and wild pitch, respec-tively, moved them up a base. However, they could not score.

The guests chased Kehres as he walked Jack Goonan to open the third, bringing in

Alex Sealts. He scored on a 1-out grounder and a throwing error on Stottlemayer’s grounder.

Fort Jennings got Kehres aboard with one out in the home third on a throwing error but the

Pilots turned a double play.The hosts rebelled in the

bottom of the fourth. With one down, Connor Stechschulte and Hellman walked. A sin-gle to right by Luebrecht got pinch-runner Chad Wurst home for a 4-1 defi-cit, with Hellman hustling to third. A wild pitch advanced Luebrecht to second. Luke Trentman walked to load the bases, finishing Dales for Tyler Brown. Metzger rapped a liner that just eluded leap-ing shortstop Miller and plat-ed Hellman and Luebrecht to get the Musketeers within 4-3. Trentman and Metzger moved up on a groundout by Wehri. Then the play of the game that kept the Pilots in front: Kehres struck a sure 2-run double to right cen-ter but centerfielder Kasey Williams made a brilliant diving catch to rob him.

The hosts kept on trying

to retaliate in the home fifth. With one down, Sealts was hit by a pitch, as was Collin Wieging with two down. However, a groundout pre-vented any further damage.

The Pilots added four more in the sixth, putting together two bases-on-balls and three hits. A sacrifice fly by Dales plated Miller (2 sto-len bases) for the first run. The run-scoring hits were an infield hit up the middle by Williams (Kahle) and a dou-ble to deep right by Goonan (Williams). The fourth run came home via a throwing error, plating Goonan.

Metzger kept the Musketeers within five runs in the top of the seventh by a diving catch of a deep fly ball to center by Dales, prevent-ing two runs.

Sam Vetter singled into left with one out in the Musketeer final at-bat and pinch-runner Ryan Hoersten advanced on a wild pitch. Brown retired the next two to end the contest.

“It’s kind of been our season; we have a play that we need to make and can’t get it done. That was in the sixth and we go from being down one to down five,” Fort Jennings coach Eric Schwab observed. “That really was the difference in this game: they made those plays and we didn’t. That play by Williams and the play by Mark were two of the best I’ve seen from a centerfielder this year. We were right there with them

and then we weren’t.”Fort Jennings visits Ada 5

come down to that all too often in present-day America.

I’m not speaking about those — the vast majority — that did protest peacefully.

Most of you know it’s the one that refuse to do so — likely not even residents — and make it terrible for every-one else who has to live and work there.

I am not going to prejudge the criminal case involving Freddie Gray and those six police persons.

It’s another case of some-one who died too young and I want to let the process work itself out as to what real-ly happened, instead of pure

speculation.We owe everyone involved

that courtesy.I just know for myself,

whoever was causing the trouble was doing no favors for their cause; in fact, they were making things harder for people like me to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Living in a small town like Big D — with its envi-ronment — gives you a dif-ferent perspective than living in a large city — with its own unique and irrepeatable atmo-sphere — does.

The problem might be that what used to pass for common sense, simple cour-tesy and civility is no longer “common.”

Sad!

Wildcats

(Continued from page 6)

Delphos Jefferson answered in its half of the fourth to take the lead for good.

A Jace Stockwell sacrifice fly scored Kurt Wollenhaupt to get the Wildcats within 4-3 before a Rassman home run put Delphos Jefferson on top 5-4.

The next batter was Jefferson’s Gage Mercer, who followed up with a home run over the left-field fence to widen the advan-tage to 6-4.

Pulford reached on a dropped third strike, stole second and proceeded to score on a double by Ryan Bullinger to extend the Jefferson lead to 7-4 heading to the bottom of the fourth.

The Wildcats added another run in the top of the fifth before breaking the game open in the sixth.

Delphos Jefferson plated four runs in the visitors portion of the sixth, extended the lead to 12-4. Wollenhaupt hit a 2-out, 2-run double and a Fitch double also drove in a run. The fourth run came when Fitch scored on a

passed ball.Noah Stoller scored on a fielder’s choice

in the sixth to provide the Raiders final run of the contest but Jefferson added four more in the seventh to seal the 16-5 win.

Derrick Jewell, Brandon Laney and Seth Yenser all had two hits for the Raiders. Noah Stoller, Jake Baksa, Blaine Jerome and Braxton all added hits for Wayne Trace, which falls to 2-17 on the season.

Fitch led the Wildcats with a single and two doubles while Rassman added a home run and a single. Bullinger chipped in a single and a double while Pulford and Brandon Herron picked up two singles each.

Mercer, Damien Dudgeon, Wollenhaupt and Jacob Boop each posted one hit for the Wildcats, who improve to 8-14.

Stockwell got the win for Delphos Jefferson, tossing four innings while allowing seven hits and fanning three.

The Wildcats return to action on Thursday when they host Ada in Northwest Conference action. Wayne Trace is also in Delphos Thursday evening as the Raiders visit St. John’s.

Jays

(Continued from Page 6)

Knapke retired six straight Blue Jay batters to keep the Tigers within distance to pounce.The Tigers threatened in the sixth inning against Vogt when Bornhorst drew his second walk

of the game and moved into scoring position with a steal. Brett McEldowney was robbed of an RBI single when second baseman Reindel made a diving stop to nail the batter at first. Vogt retired the final Tiger batter of the inning with a lazy fly to center.

Reindel drew a 2-out walk in the bottom of the sixth inning but became the sixth stranded runner for the Jays as McEldowney retired Heiing on a fly to center.

St. John’s appeared to be cruising to their third straight league win as Vogt retired the first two Tigers in the final inning. Jackson called in closer Brandon Slate finish the game. The Tigers were not quite ready to get back on the bus for the long ride home as Cole Niekamp ripped a double down the third-base line. Versailles managed to load the bases and ruined the shutout when Bornhorst walked to cut the lead to 4-1. Jesse Ditto was called into the pressure situation on the mound with the bases full. McEldowney’s single brought home a pair as the Jays’ lead evaporated. Ditto kept his composure and earned the save, getting the final out on a popout.

“We had our hurlers on a pitch count tonight to set up our rotation for sectionals this week-end,” said Coach Jackson. “I was comfortable making pitching changes because we built that 4-run lead in the first inning. Youngpeter and Vogt did a great job pitching tonight by shutting out a team that was 12-5 and beat super power Coldwater.”

St. John’s gets back to the .500 mark at 10-10 with the win and improves to 3-4 in the MAC.Boone lead St. John’s with a pair of RBIs and the Jays had eight hits by eight different

batters.The next action for the Blue Jays will be Thurday night as the Wayne Trace Raiders come

to Stadium Park (5 p.m.).

Hackers, spammers, scammers, trolls and identity thieves can make going online pretty scary, right?

You’ll have even more reasons to fear clicking and scrolling when you watch this freaky-fresh take on a classic horror-movie standby—teenagers in peril—seen entirely through the perspective of a character’s laptop computer screen.

In Unfriended (originally titled Cybernatural), a group of high school friends having an online chat notices an anonymous, lurking intruder on their call. Ominously, it’s on the anniversary of the suicide of Laura Barnes, one of their classmates, who took her life after being victimized by cyber bullying. Then weird things start to happen: The friends can’t boot the lurker off the line; other web pages malfunction; unsettling messages begin coming in—and they say they’re from Laura Barnes.

“Something srvsly wrong,” types one of the chatters. Indeed it is, and it’s about to get much wrong-er…srysly.

Director Levan Gabriadze takes what might have been a gimmick—the computer-screen format—and totally makes it work. We see everything as the character of Blaire (Shelley Henning, Malia on TV’s Teen Wolf) sees it, does it and experiences it. We watch as she moves her cursor around the web—Skype, Facebook, Google, Gmail, Spotify. We follow each click as she types, enters a command or searches frantically for answers. We read, as she reads, messages as they come in, often bearing hair-raising news. We watch, as she watches, terror contort

her friends’ faces—and her own—in the windows of her screen.

Computer viruses never seemed so dangerous; a hovering cursor over a link can be a thing of wrenching suspense; that spinning “beach ball” icon becomes not just maddening, but positively malevolent.

Can their late classmate really be taunting them, and haunting them, from beyond the grave? What role did each of them play in her death? What other terrible secrets might be buried—online or elsewhere—just waiting to be brought to light?

When things turn nasty—and they do—the gore is seen as either on a terrifying, in-and-out, glitch-y pixelated webcam connection, or via attachments that the teens have opened to view. The audience, like Blair, never knows what’s going to pop up on the screen. Our eyes, like hers, are glued.

It’s a nifty-nightmare premise for an online-saturated culture, so much so it’s a wonder someone hasn’t done it already. It taps into several themes—the illusion of online privacy; the “permanence” of online content; the compliance of everyone who creates, uploads, downloads or even views material on the web; the evils of cyber-bulling; how social media has supplanted so many other former means of communication, information and interaction.

Unfriended delivers some truly unsettling jolts with a minimum of effects and what was surely a micro-fraction of the budget of much bigger, bloodier, more bloated horror flicks. Once you see it, you might not stare into your computer screen so casually—or comfortably—again.

—Neil Pond, Parade Magazine

The


— The salary range of one permanent full-time assistant superintendent of wastewater for the Wastewater Treatment Facility shall be $1,766.60-$1,850.54 per bi-weekly pay period.

The assistant superinten-dent must have a Class III operator’s license from the State of Ohio EPA and must be willing to seek a Class IV license when deemed appropriate by the Board of Control.

— The salary range of one permanent full-time assistant superintendent of water for the Water Treatment Facility shall be $1,766.60-$1,850.54 per bi-weekly pay period.

The assistant superinten-dent must have a Class III operator’s license from the Ohio EPA and must be will-ing to seek a Class IV license when deemed appropriate by the Board of Control.

The ordinance takes effect immediately.

An effort to transform the current Fire and Rescue Department from fire-based to EMS-based continues. Council heard on first read-ing an ordinance establishing the salary of the intermit-tent firefighter/EMT employ-ee needed to operate such a department.

The pay rates will be as follows: 36-hour firefight-er/EMT Basic — $9.50 and hour; 36-hour firefighter/EMT Intermediate — $9.75 per hour; 36-hour firefight-er/EMT Paramedic, Level 1 firefighter/EMT Basic and Level 1 firefighter/EMT Intermediate — $10 per hour; Level 1 firefighter/EMT Paramedic and Level 2 firefighter/EMT Paramedic — $10.50 per hour; Level 2 firefighter/EMT Intermediate — $10.75 per hour; and Level 2 firefighter/EMT Paramedic — $11 per hour.

The intermittent firefight-er/EMT shall be paid these wages when they are “on sta-tion” and is asked to respond to a fire or rescue on their off-duty time, shall be paid in accordance with previously passed ordinances.

The intermittent firefight-er/EMT shall not exceed 29 hours per week and shall be

required to work a minimum of 18 hours per month to remain in active status.

Council heard on first reading an ordinance to enter into a seven-year contract with Allen County Refuse to supply solid waste, refuse and recycling services to the city.

The cost to residents is $15 per month for the life of the contract with administra-tive fees of 60 per month the first two years; 65 cents per month in year three and four; and 70 cents per month in years five, six and seven.

The service includes weekly garbage pick up, every other week recycle pick up and the “big item” disposal on the first Saturday of the month at the parking lot across the street from the municipal building.

All residents, unless they are excluded by legislation, shall be charged for the refuse and recycling services if they receive active water and sewer services from the city.

Paperwork for the 2016 Budget heard on first reading was not available for coun-cil members. Auditor Tom Jettinghoff said he would have that ready in the next week. He also asked a public hearing on the budget be set at 6:30 p.m. May 18 prior to the next council meeting.

Approval of the tax min-utes from the Allen County Tax Incentive Review Council continuing the Enterprise Zone Agreement for K&M Tire/Langhals Enterprises, LLC was heard on first reading.

The final piece of new legislation was a warrant to Stolly Insurance for the 2015-16 property, general liability and fleet insurance coverage for the city. The city extend-ed the current contract with Stolly through 2018 with the first year’s premium $79,820, a $3,484 less than last year with a credit for agreeing to a three-year contract.

Council heard on second reading two pieces of legisla-tion to fill meter reading posi-tions. Former city employ-ees Larry Lindeman and Jeff Rostorfer will be hired as water meter readers and be paid $150 per coupon book

completed. Mayor Michael Gallmeier said there are 13 books in all. The readings will cost $1,950 per quarter and $7,800 per year.

Council tabled an ordi-nance to accept the appli-cation for the annexation of .958 acres of land owned by Kenneth R. Brinkman, Michael E. Coil and Barbara J. Coil on Pohlman Road. Mayor Michael Gallmeier said newly-appointed Law Director Andy Knueve was looking at Ohio Revised Codes rules and case law on several points of the annex-ation.

Washington Township trustees and Van Wert County commissioners have already approved the annexation.

Passed on third reading was an ordinance enacting the replacement of codified ordinances that conflict with recent Ohio Revised Code changes. Changes were made to traffic codes, gen-eral offenses codes and fire prevention codes. Council asked to see a detailed list of the changes proposed; and an ordinance amending the rates for emergency medical services to include a 5.4-per-cent Milliman Medical Index increase. The new charges will be: Emergency basic life support (per person/per con-veyance) — $616.23; emer-gency advanced life support 1 (per person/per convey-ance) — $672.25; emergency advanced life support 2 — $784.29; and mileage (per loaded mile) — $12.04.

Two utilities adjust-ments were read approved: 209 W. Third St., $377.42 water and $444 sewer for a total of $821.42; and 448 S. Franklin St., $266.90 water and $301.92 sewer for a total of $568.82.

Several groups requested road closures and use of city property for various events, including the Mini Relay for Life on May 13 with street closure of Pierce from First to Fifth streets and Fourth Street from Franklin to Pierce streets from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.; the annual Memorial Day Parade with closure of Second Street from the fire department to Main Street and Main from Second to Fifth streets from 10:45-11 a.m. on

“I don’t know that you understand what you have at the edge of your village,” he said. “We have 61 employees working for Bee Line Trucking Company. Just recently Celadon Trucking purchased us. They just spent a $5 million investment at the edge of your village. I think it’s insulting to them that you guys would even think about closing that piece of property. They’re putting a major investment in the Village of Ottoville and, like I said, I think it’s insulting.”

Basinger then opened himself up to ques-tioning, at which point tempers on both sides, strained by differing opinions and media pressures, flared. The ensuing He said/She said bickering and finger pointing ranged the gamut from the Vetters accusing Basinger of intentionally diverting truck traffic down the unmarked street — an action Basinger acknowledged, though he accused Pat Vetter of forcing the issue by denying Bee Line’s drivers access to a corner of his property — to Basinger accusing Vetter of verbally accost-ing a teenage employee, something that Vetter steadfastly denied.

Contributing to the animus between the

two parties was a letter sent by the village to both Main Street Market and Bee Line Trucking that raised a concern about parking at the restaurant/deli, an issue that may or may not have come up at council’s meeting on April 20 (opinions about which varied among council members and administrative personnel) as well as a copy of an ordinance drawn up five years ago that would have vacated Dollar Street had they acted on it at that time.

Ultimately, council negotiated a stop-gap solution, enlisting the Vetters’ cooperation in allowing Bee Line truckers to access a cor-ner of their property. For his part, Basinger offered assurances that, should Main Street Market patrons partially park on Bee Line property, agents of the trucking company will not contact local law enforcement, a situation that occurred twice in the past week.

Both parties agreed to the “gentlemen’s agreement” in order to allow village offi-cials to investigate alternatives, one of which involves restructuring Dollar Street so that it no longer proves a hazard to the Vetters’ customers.

Council will next meet on May 18 at 7 p.m. in the village offices.

Truce

Cupp(Continued from page 1)

“The caps used to be on the wealthiest dis-tricts,” he said. “Now it’s kind of inverted so that the wealthiest districts are on a guarantee and the other districts are on a cap. But the idea is that, in the next budget, we’ll continue to increase the aid and that will lift the cap. Ultimately, the goal is to get rid of caps and to get rid of guarantees.”

Cupp then discussed House Bill 2, legislation that addresses issues with public community schools, also referred to as charter schools. He commented that Ohio has “some of the loos-est laws in the country” with regard to charter schools and that the state also has a surfeit of sponsors, those individuals and corporations that finance the schools. He indicated that HB 2 is designed to address the identified problem areas and support those institutions that have proven successful.

“The bill has passed the house and is over in the Senate,” he said. “The Senate is interested in doing the same thing, so I think we’re going to see some real reform in our charter and com-munity schools and weed out those that aren’t doing the job and, hopefully, be able to see and strengthen those who are making improvements for their students.”

Finally, within the framework of legislation effecting schools, Cupp said that a bill under con-sideration, HB 74, addresses a growing concern for school districts throughout the state and the country: the matter of mandated and unfund-ed testing. Already, the boards of education in many school districts throughout the area have implemented moratoriums on Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) and American Institutes for Research (AIR) testing, tests they say are unwieldy, expen-sive, time-consuming and unnecessary.

“Our schools seem to be weighed down in a

morass of testing,” Cupp said. “It’s just like this huge weight taking up an enormous amount of time. I think the legislature has heard this and HB 74 includes a number of modifications in the testing requirements.”

He further remarked that the bill addresses PARCC testing specifically, establishing a pro-hibition on the use of Department of Education funding for that assessment. The bill also directs the State Board of Education to write tests for use in Ohio. He said that the directive includes wording encouraging “one or two tests” that assess a variety of learning areas, rather than a series of tests that assess achievement levels in individual areas.

While Cupp’s address focused significantly on education, he also directed attention toward community development opportunities, primarily as a consequence of a query from Delphos City Council President Dan Hirn.

“One thing that’s going on in Delphos is a new group trying to stimulate economic growth,” Hirn said, referring to the Delphos Area Economic Group. “Are there things coming up at the state level that the community will be able to tap into?”

Cupp’s response encompassed a wide range of established programs, including JobsOhio, as well as grant funding to assist individuals acquire the education necessary to work in modern man-ufacturing facilities. In addition, he referenced a grant program in the House-passed budget that encourages students to pursue specific careers in areas deemed high-priority through the forgive-ness of college debt.

“What I hear from business and industry all over is that they can’t find people with the skills they need to work in today’s manufacturing facil-ities,” he said. “So I know there’s a real emphasis on that.”

Discussion was held regard-ing the junk cars parked at and the deteriorating condition of the old armory at 113 S. Broadway; property is owned by Jason Stanley. Attorney Jason Flower is researching options for the village to take action.

Police ReportChief Cook told Council that

(MS) — Mother’s Day is the one day each year when men, women and children across the country gather to honor the mothers in their lives. Though it can be challenging to find new and unique ways to display your affection for Mom on Mother’s Day, rest assured that sometimes the sim-plest concepts are the ones mothers most appreciate. This year, look no further than the following ideas for some inspiration as you aim to make this Mother’s Day as special as possible for the mother or mothers in your life.

• Give the gift of sweet treats. What better way to highlight mom’s sweetness than with some delicious treats made just for her? Whether you decide to whip up some homemade confections in the kitchen or visit a nearby store for something decadent, mom will no doubt appreciate the chance to indulge on her big day. Moms may prefer cookies and porta-ble snacks or tasty snacks dipped or filled with popu-lar flavors, such as choco-late and strawberry, and are now available with green tea cream. Pair with a cup of tea, coffee or whichever beverage mom prefers to

complement her favorite treat.

• Make a meal to re-member. Mom deserves a night off from dinner de-tail, and while dining out is an option, a homemade meal may come across as more intimate and heart-felt. Thanks to kitchen appliances that make it easier than ever to pre-pare gourmet meals at home, you can now make restaurant-style meals in your kitchen without sac-rificing restaurant-quality taste. Present mom with her favorite dish or steam a side of vegetables. Pair the meal with her favorite wine and make sure you handle all the cleanup.

While mom waits for dinner to be served, a soothing cup of tea can set the tone for a relaxing eve-ning.

• Plan a Mother’s Day picnic. Busy moms may look forward to a break from the bustle of daily routines. An afternoon pic-nicking outdoors can be the ideal way to enjoy a special Mother’s Day. Plan an easy menu of foods that have portability.

Gifting is made easy when you tap into the things mom likes.

Moms are sure to appreciate Mother’s Day celebrations focused on food, pampering and fun.

Kind Prepared Planters!

Whether she’s still hard at work raising children or her kids have grown up and now have children of their own, Mom deserves our best efforts come Mother’s Day. And while traditional gifts like flowers and chocolate might make for t h o u g h t f u l Mother’s Day gifts, those who want to go the extra mile for Mom this year can consid-er the following unique gift ideas. •Concert tickets: Many adults recall the days of their youth when Mom would relax while listening to some of her favor-ite music on a lazy summer af-ternoon. Why not take a stroll down Memory Lane and take Mom to see one of her favor-ite acts in concert? Even if you have outgrown Mom’s musical tastes, she will still appreciate the chance to spend an evening

out on the town with her kids and some good music.* Theater tickets: If Mom is a fan of live theater then noth-ing will elicit a bigger smile than tickets to a Broadway

show she has had her eyes on. If Broad-way is a bit too far for you to travel, do your

A hospital is more than a place where people go to heal, it is a part of the com-munity that fosters health and represents hope. From providing treatment and com-fort to the sick, to welcoming new life into the world, hospitals are central to a healthy and optimistic community. That’s the mes-sage organizers are touting with the 2015 National Hospital Week theme “Where Miracles Happen Every Day.”

The event theme is the centerpiece of a promotional campaign aimed at uniting

health care facilities across the country during the May 10–16 celebration.

The nation’s largest health care event, National Hospital Week dates back to 1921 when it was suggested by a magazine editor who hoped a community wide celebration would alleviate public fears about hospi-tals. The celebration, launched in Chicago, succeeded in promoting trust and goodwill among members of the public and eventu-ally spread to facilities across the country.

We provide compassionate, expert, advanced care, rising above and beyond the standard care. We offer hometown services that are

comparable with The Cleveland Clinic and Mayo Clinic.

& HOSPITAL WEEK May 10-16

Nurses are often the first people patients see when visiting hospitals or doctor’s offices. According to the United States Department of Health and Human Services Health Re-sources Services Administration, there were 2.8 million registered nurses, including ad-vanced practice RNs, and 690,000 licensed practical nurses, or LPNs, in the United States between the years of 2008 and 2010.

Nurses fill many roles in the medical com-munity, assisting doctors and helping to make in-patient stays more comfortable for men and women who are ill or injured. Specialized nurses, such as nurse practitioners, may even serve as the primary healthcare provider, of-fering diagnoses and writing prescriptions.

While there is a specific week set aside to show appreciation to nurses, many people agree that they deserve recognition through-out the year. Any instance is a good time to give back to nurses, and the following are a few ways to honor the nurses in your life.

• Play caretaker to him or her. Nurses tend to the needs of others all the time, but some

nurses do not get the respite they deserve. Those who want to show appreciation to a nurse who has helped them in their lives can present the nurse with a gift card for a mas-sage and soothing spa treatment.

• Cater a meal. Offer to cater a meal at the hospital or medical office so that all nurses on staff can benefit. If there is one nurse in particular you want to treat, give that nurse a gift card to a nearby restaurant.

• Provide foot relief. Nurses spend hours on their feet, and that can cause pain or stiff-ness throughout the body. Present a gift card to a store that specializes in comfort shoes or custom orthotics. A certificate for a pedicure or foot massage would no doubt be appreci-ated as well.

• Create a charmed existence. Charm bracelets are the rage right now, and nurses may appreciate a bracelet that highlights their career path with specific charms. For some-thing they can wear on the job, treat nurses to a Steth-o-Charm™, which is a charm that slides securely onto stethoscopes. These

charms come in many designs and can make for a memorable gift.

• Give a decorative badge reel. Nurses must wear identification or have swipe cards on their person to gain access to areas of hos-pitals. Many badges are standard items with-out any flare or style. A colorful or decorative badge reel can be a nice way to brighten up a

nurse’s day.• Give verbal or handwritten thanks. One

of the easiest and most heartfelt ways to show your appreciation to nurses is to simply tell them how you feel. Offer a handwritten note or speak with a nurse in person. Such a simple gesture does not take much effort, but it is bound to make an impact.
