Feed your sweet tooth at DeBrand

FORT WAYNE Most people know at least one chocoholic. Maybe that chocoholic is you. Even the mild chocolate lovers would appreciate a journey just down the road to Fort Wayne for a tour of the famous DeBrand Fine Chocolates factory. DeBrand Fine Chocolates was founded in 1987 by artisan chocolatier, Cathy Brand. The name DeBrand came from adding the French prefix de (meaning of or from) to her last name Brand. Brand grew up in a family known for their successful confectionary business; she began making chocolates at the young age of 8 and went on to study the art extensively throughout the countries of Canada, Europe and the US. With four retail shops, a kitchen, corporate office and mail-order business, DeBrand quickly became one of the largest chocolate brands around. The chocolate tours are just one of the many draws that bring people of all ages to walk through the doors. Tours begin with a 15-minute video in the DeBrand Private Party Room, where groups are then led one at a time to begin the tour. A tour guide informs the crowd about the delicate chocolate-

OTTOVILLE - Educators at Ottoville Local Schools had their training sessions on iPads Friday morning during a student 2-hour delay. Just as incoming freshmen got iPads, so too did their mentors; through Race to the Top and REAP Grant funds, Ottoville purchased 33 iPads for teachers. While students enjoyed two extra hours of sleep, teachers gathered in the high school to receive training on their iPads. Shelley Mumaw of the technology department assisted in leading the training program. Things are going well, Diana Wurth said. We divide into smaller groups and then train on how to use them and their content. With the iPads, Ottoville will start using textbook applications, better known as Apps.

Studies more firmly tie sugary drinks to obesity

The Associated Press New research powerfully strengthens the case against soda and other sugary drinks as culprits in the obesity epidemic. A huge, decades-long study involving more than 33,000 Americans has yielded the first clear proof that drinking sugary beverages interacts with genes that affect weight, amplifying a persons risk of obesity beyond what it would be from heredity alone. This means that such

According to Superintendent Scott Mangas, the apps are less expensive than traditional textbooks. With the tools, Ottoville High School looks to keep its technology cutting-edge and help better prepare its students. Students can use their iPad for notes, to watch digital videos, review news stories as they unfold and access study aids and thousands of applications. The mobility of these devices with their wireless connection allows students access to the Internet anywhere they have a wifi connection. Teachers and the administration are excited about using them for projects, class communication, collecting work, student exploration and the ability of having thousands of apps to enhance learning. With students and teachers alike trained, Ottoville can begin to change the way learning takes place.

drinks are especially harmful to people with genes that predispose them to weight gain. And most of us have at least some of these genes. In addition, two other major experiments have found that giving children and teens calorie-free alternatives to the sugary drinks they usually consume leads to less weight gain. Collectively, the results strongly suggest that sugary drinks cause people to pack See OBESITY, page 2

Its a spoon thing

I read something on Facebook Friday that really struck a chord with me. Some of you may already know what Im talking about: The Spoon Theory by Christine Miserandino. Christine and her friend were sitting in a diner eating when her longtime friend asked her what it was like to be sick. What was it like how did it feel to have lupus. After some thought, Christine gathered up all the spoons from their and nearby tables and gave them to her friend. She said, These are your spoons. This is all you have. She then proceeded to tell her friend that each of her daily activities were going to cost her a spoon some more than one. When she was out of spoons, she was done for the day. She carefully explained that she had to make choices every day to make sure she had enough spoons. Each choice had to be carefully thought out and a few extra spoons in reserve were helpful if she caught a cold or didnt feel well. Simple acts like getting dressed had numerous factors Were her fingers sore? No buttons. Did she have a fever? Wear something warm so she wouldnt have chills. Did she have bruises? Wear long sleeves. It amazed me that this woman had to put so much thought in to actions I take for granted every day, all day. I thought about this for a while and I guess we all have spoons, just different amounts. If were healthy, we have quite a few more than someone who isnt. There are days I start out with two fistfulls of spoons and others, not so much. I think we have different bunches of

For The Record

spoons for different people and things. Some days I have more for work and less for home and family and vice versa. My husband, more often than not, gets gypped on the spoons. Im pretty sure he has noticed this and lets it slide. Hes my husband and hes awesome that way. I still try to keep a spoon tucked away for him and a few others. Im not going to compare my spoons to someone who is battling lupus or cancer or some other debilitating disease. I have met people who have these challenges and at times, they still seem to have more spoons than I do. The human will is a mysterious and wondrous thing. Im not going to compare my spoons to someone who is juggling children, work, home, etc. We all have different spoons not always better or worse just different. What I am going to do is examine my spoons. I think Ill find that Im using some spoons for things that are unnecessary and perhaps selfish when they could be used for more worthwhile and even more satisfying endeavors. So as you read this, Ill be counting my spoons. Hopefully Ill have just the right amount.

By The Associated Press Today is Saturday, Sept. 22, the 266th day of 2012. There are 100 days left in the year. Autumn arrives at 10:49 a.m. Eastern time. Todays Highlight in History: On Sept. 22, 1862, President Abraham Lincoln issued the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation, declaring all slaves in rebel states should be free as of Jan. 1, 1863. On this date: In 1761, Britains King George III and his wife, Charlotte, were crowned in Westminster Abbey. In 1776, during the Revolutionary War, Capt. Nathan Hale, 21, was hanged as a spy by the British in New York. In 1862, King Wilhelm I of Prussia met with Otto von Bismarck, whom he decided to appoint minister president, or premier. In 1911, pitcher Cy Young, 44, gained his 511th and final career victory as he hurled a 1-0 shutout for the Boston Rustlers against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Forbes Field. In 1922, Congress passed, and President Warren Harding signed, the Cable Act, which allowed an American woman to keep her U.S. citizenship following marriage to a foreigner, provided the husband was considered eligible for American citizenship.

on the pounds, independent of other unhealthy behavior such as overeating and getting too little exercise, scientists say. That adds weight to the push for taxes, portion limits like the one just adopted in New York City, and other policies to curb consumption of soda, juice drinks and sports beverages sweetened with sugar. Soda lovers do get some good news: Sugar-free drinks did not raise the risk of obesity in these studies. You may be able to fool the taste and satisfy a sweet tooth without paying a price in weight, said an obesity researcher with no role in the studies, Rudy Leibel of Columbia University. The studies were being presented Friday at an obesity conference in San Antonio and were published online by

the New England Journal of Medicine. The gene research in particular fills a major gap in what we know about obesity. It was a huge undertaking, involving three long-running studies that separately and collectively reached the same conclusions. It shows how behavior combines with heredity to affect how fat we become. Having many of these genes does not guarantee people will become obese, but if they drink a lot of sugary beverages, they fulfill that fate, said an expert with no role in the research, Jules Hirsch of Rockefeller University in New York. The sweet drinking and the fatness are going together, and its more evident in the genetic predisposition people. Sugary drinks are the single biggest source of calories in the American diet, and they are increasingly

blamed for the fact that a third of U.S. children and teens and more than twothirds of adults are obese or overweight. Consumption of sugary drinks and obesity rates have risen in tandem both have more than doubled since the 1970s in the U.S. But that doesnt prove that these drinks cause obesity. Genes, inactivity and eating fatty foods or just too much food also play a role. Also, diet research on children is especially tough because kids are growing and naturally gaining weight. Until now, high-quality experiments have not conclusively shown that reducing sugary beverages would lower weight or body fat, said David Allison, a biostatistician who has done beverage research at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, some of it with industry support.

Ohio governor sounds warning over economy

By ANDREW WELSHHUGGINS The Associated Press COLUMBUS Gov. John Kasich warned Friday that Ohios economy is not as strong as he would like and hes seeing signs of a possible slowdown. Kasich said hes concerned that businesses are in a holding pattern until after the election and that the state wont continue to see gains. He said too many people are still out of work to celebrate the states 7.2 percent unemployment rate, unchanged for the past three months but still well below the national rate of 8.1 percent. As I look at the velocity of the jobs, were starting to see signs that are not good, Kasich told The Associated Press on Friday. He added: I want the people of my state to know that I just have deep concerns going forward about where we are and where we could end up. He said the pipeline of possible jobs coming to Ohio isnt as strong as it was a year ago. He cited an overseas company planning on bringing 800 jobs to the state, yet a final decision continues to be put off. Kasich, a Republican and Mitt Romney supporter, said he was not wading into the presidential campaign with his comments. He said he believes Ohio would do better under Romney, and he criticized what he called the headwinds of uncertainty over debt, taxes and regulations. But I also believe that if it doesnt go that way we cant be paralyzed, we just cant rub our hands and cry in our beer, Kasich said. Kasichs doom and gloom message wont resonate in the state because Ohio

STATE/LOCAL

Group loses court appeal on 2009 levy repeal

COLUMBUS (AP) A proposed repeal of an Ohio suburban school districts 2009 levy wont appear before fall voters. The Ohio Supreme Court on Thursday sided with the Franklin County Board of Elections, which has voted to scrub the repeal issue from Nov. 6 ballots. Taxpayers for Westerville Schools had appealed to the states highest court to try to get the issue in front of voters. Friday is the deadline for finalizing ballots. The 1851 Center for Constitutional Law, which represents the taxpayer group, relied on a rarely used state law that subjects school issues that increase a taxs rate to repeal by voters. Election board members said the levy in Westerville in suburban Columbus didnt qualify because it was a renewal that didnt generate additional revenue.

is continuing to recover from the recession, Obama spokeswoman Jessica Kershaw said in a statement. Kasich made his comments returning from Cambridge where glass insulating company Quanex announced it was adding 162 jobs to its existing 170 employees. The state provided incentives to the company including tax credits, Kasich spokesman Rob Nichols said. The state Department of Job and Family Services said Friday that seasonally adjusted joblessness in Ohio was again 7.2 percent in August, staying at its lowest level since September 2008. The states non-farm payrolls dropped by 2,000 compared with Julys figures. Ohios rate has remained about 1 point below national unemployment rate, which dropped from 8.3 percent in July to 8.1 percent in August. The number of unemployed Ohio workers dropped by about 5,000, from 418,000 in July to 413,000 last month. Kasich noted the state has 123,000 more jobs than January 2011, when he took office. But he also questioned the strength of the auto recovery in the state, saying the state has 500 fewer overall auto assembly and parts jobs over the same period. There has been good automotive news recently, he said, but the industrys overall footprint is smaller. As hes said previously, the state must resist calls to spend down its $500 million surplus or increase spending. We were in the ditch, the ambulance picked us up, now we are in the hospital and were being rehabbed, Kasich said. Its not like were healed. Weve got a lot people still in poverty, a lot of people unemployed, and the notion that we now can kind of relax is false.

E - The Environmental Magazine Dear EarthTalk: What is the Green Scissors campaign, which I understand can help the environment and has support from both liberals and conservatives? Jeff Nickson, Butte, MT The Green Scissors Campaign was launched in 1994 as a partnership between the environmental group Friends of the Earth (FoE) ad budget watchdog Taxpayers for Common Sense (TCS) to call attention to subsidies and programs that both harm the environment and waste taxpayer dollars and which should be cut accordingly. The campaign has been issuing reports since 1996 detailing how Congress can cut specific programs to save money and the environment. For the most recent report, Green Scissors 2012, the two organizations were joined by free market think tank R Street, which was started by former staffers of the libertarian Heartland Institute (previously a Green Scissors partner). This unlikely trio that spans the political spectrum left to right identifies some $700 billion in wasteful and environmentally harmful programs that could be scrapped over the next decade. Such savings would amount to almost two-thirds of the $1.2 trillion in spending cuts Congress is required to make beginning in 2013 under the terms of last years Budget Control Act. It is perverse that we

are staring down the barrel of budget cuts that will lead to dirtier drinking water as we reward corporations with tens of billions of dollars a year to poison the public, said Benjamin Schreiber, tax analyst with FoE. We need to take the common sense solution of saving money by ending environmentally harmful spending. The proposed cuts include $269.78 billion from energy programs, including $158.7 billion of fossil fuel subsidies; $167.09 billion of agricultural subsidies, including $89.82 billion of federal crop insurance disaster aid; $212.02 billion of transportation subsidies, including $125.80 billion of general revenue transfers to the Highway Trust Fund; $101.8 billion of federal flood, crop and nuclear insurance subsidies; and $24.99 billion from wasteful or environmental damaging public lands and water projects. Given the collaborative nature of the Green Scissors campaign, only those programs that FoE, TCS and R Street agreed were both wasteful and environmentally harmful

were included on the list of recommended cuts. As lawmakers argue over what to do about the enormous deficit and looming automatic budget cuts, we have come together to present them with almost $700 billion in cuts, said Ryan Alexander, president of TCS. Whether its getting rid of high-risk energy loan guarantees, reining in wasteful crop insurance or ending lucrative oil and gas tax breaks, eliminating wasteful spending that harms the environment just makes sense. Taxpayers want Congress to stop bickering and get cutting, adds Alexander. Green Scissors shows them where to start.

Green Scissors was launched by Friends of the Earth and Taxpayers for Common Sense to call attention to programs that both harm the environment and waste tax dollars, including environmentally damaging public lands and water projects and agricultural and fossil fuel subsidies.

Im also asking that the company voluntarily adopt common-sense measures that will protect students. Higher One should improve fees and disclosures, including: restrictions on over-the-limit fees; requirements that penalty fees be reasonable; and a prohibition against inactivity fees. The company should also restrict the use of gifts to college students on or near campus, or at campus-sponsored events in exchange for using debit card services. Higher One should be required to submit an annual report to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and Department of Education including the terms and conditions of all promotional agreements with colleges, including the number of student debit card accounts opened during the time period. These are simple measures that can and should be taken to level the playing field and ensure that students can make wise financial decisions. Its also important that stu-

dents know how to protect themselves. Those that have questions or concerns about these financial products should visit the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau website at www.consumerfinance.gov. The CFPB recommends that students understand that they cant be required to use a specific bank or card, consider choosing an account before arriving on campus, and sign up for direct deposit if they already have a checking account. Students can also contact the CFPBs Private Student Loan Ombudsman, which I fought to create through the Wall Street reform law, to learn more about using these products responsibly or to share their stories. We simply cannot afford to let financial companies overcharge the students trying to earn an education and contribute to our state. Thats why I will continue to fight to ensure that Ohio students see their financial aid dollars used to pay for tuition, room, and board and do not go to hidden fees and charges.

I cannot endure to waste anything as precious as autumn sunshine by staying in the house. So I spend almost all the daylight hours in the open air.

Nathaniel Hawthorne, American author (1804-1864).

That
IT WAS NEWS THEN
One Year Ago When Ottoville Local Schools board members and administrators attend the Ohio School Boards Association Northwest Regional Fall Conference on Oct. 6, they will bring home more than what they glean from the program. Ottoville will receive the OSBAs Humanitarian Award for the 2011 Cancer Walk. 25 Years Ago 1987 The Blue Jays junior high football team beat the New Bremen Cardinals 20-0 at Stadium Park. The offense attach was led by eighth graders Scott Elwer and Paul Sadler, combining for two touchdowns via the air. The Jays aggressive defense was led by Matt Kroeger and Jason Rabe. Cheryl Kimbel brings nine years of the professional photography laboratory experience with her in opening her new business in Delphos at 628 Dewey St. Machine prints and candids are done on a Durest Mini-Printer. Other custom work at the lab includes penciling out on prints, adding protective coating and dust spotting. The Catholic Ladies of Columbia recently held their first card party of the fall season. Winners in pinochle were Clara Landwehr; euchre, Angela Kill, Patty Pothast; 500, Gertie Schwertner. The grocery certificates were won by Angela Kill and Zita Allen and 50-50 winners were Clara Landwehr, Evelyn Horstman, Agnes Ditto and Edna Baldauf. 50 Years Ago 1962 The combination of Thitoff to Laudick Friday night at Municipal Stadium paid off giving the St. Johns Blue Jays their first victory of the season. The Jays beat Perkins High of Sandusky 26-20 in a game filled with action. Halfback Bill (Dusty) Laudick crossed Perkins goal stripe four times for TD markers and was on the throwing end of a PAT pass to Tom Geddings for two more points. Claire Griffith was hostess to the Ladies Bible Class of Trinity Methodist Church Friday evening in her home on West Sixth Street. Nine members and one guest, Edna Bemis, were present. Mrs. Lester Strayer opened the session by reading a prayer. Scripture readings were given by Myrtle Talbot. The hostess read a poem and Goldie Stopher presented an article entitled Who Else but An American. An Ottoville girl, Dorothy Turnwald, reigns as queen of the Putnam County Junior Fair at Ottawa, her sovereignty ending tonight. Reigning with her as king of the fair is Jerry Charles, Leipsic young man. 75 Years Ago 1937 A reception for Dr. and Mrs. Clarence Swearingen and family will be held Thursday evening at the Methodist Church. Dt. Swearingen is the new Methodist pastor here, having been assigned at the conference held in Dayton. The Swearingens now occupy the Methodist parsonage on North Washington Street. The members of the local council of the Catholic Ladies of Columbia held a social in the council rooms on Tuesday evening. Mrs. B. H. Macke held high score in five-hundred, Mrs. William Deffenbaugh and P. L. Hickey were high in pinochle and Mrs. John Lindeman and William Kimmet received the honors in euchre. Delphos will have a football team this season, the first for a number of years. The prospective players are Elmer Scherger, Robert Kindley, Donald Seymour, Paul Jettinghoff, Thomas Swick, Ralph Westrich, and John Burger. The team will be known as the Delphos Hornets.
Fast forward to 1958, when the Jennings Local School was chosen to pilot the first migrant school education program in the nation. There was a large group of Mexican American migrants in the area. Father Miller, the pastor of St. Josephs Parish was the father of this program. Children were also bused in from migrant camps in Jennings Township and from camps at Delphos, Kalida and Ottoville. The Fort Jennings grade school was replaced in 1960 on a different site between Second St. and the Ottoville Road. The new building, owned by the Catholic Parish and leased to the school board, included 14 classrooms, a multi-purpose room, library and cafeteria. Rose Warnecke and Mary Suever were the school cooks. High school students walked to the grade school cafeteria until 1974, when a van was purchased to transport the food to the high school building. Prior to the cafeteria, students walked to the downtown restaurants (or bars) for lunch. Some went home or carried their lunch. Many students remember Julie Dickman standing by the bar with her tray of ten cent hamburgers. The honor system was the rule of the day. The high school had growing pains also so a large addition was built to the facility in 1965. This addition housed classrooms, office, library and a shop area. Upon completion of this addition, the 8th grade moved back to the high school building in 1965 and the 7th grade returned to the high school in 1972. The 7th and 8th grades had been temporarily housed at the grade school during the 60s. The gym in the 1939 school had served the students well. However the fast paced basketball required a larger gym floor so a new gym was built adjacent to the back of the high school. School musicals, class plays and some junior high basketball continued to be held in the old gym with its comfortable bucket seats. The next addition came in 1998 when John and Agnes (Specht) Reich gave a very generous donation to the school. John and Agnes moved to Fort Jennings in their senior years and evidently they became attached to the community. The gift was used for a state of the art band room or music room. This room now houses the Fort Jennings Branch Library. Really big changes came to the Jennings Local Schools at the turn of the century. The Ohio School Facilities Commission set up a program whereby it offered a large percentage of funds toward the construction of new schools in Ohio. This opportunity was offered to the local district in 1999. The state offered to pay 83 percent with the school district paying the remaining 17 percent. After several months of public relations in this regard the decision was made in August of 2000 to place the school construction bond issue on the November ballot. Following a favorable vote the Fort Jennings State Bank was designated as purchaser of the bonds. Forty acres of land just off St. Rt. 189 was purchased for the building in March 2001. Fanning/Howey of Celina was approved as architects. They presented their plan in September 200l. The ground breaking ceremony was held 29 March 2002. Three members of the Class of 2017 were the first to break ground. Construction began almost immediately. Walls were going up on schedule but a wind storm came along in the fall of 2002, causing the collapse of one wall. This caused a delay in opening the new Pre K through 12th grade school. By April of 2004 the building was ready for open house. The high school band played

the school fight song for the opening ceremony in the 1,500 seat gymnasium. Rep. James Hoops and Senator Lynn Watchmann were there to congratulate the administrators, staff, students and community on the new facility. The $14 million dollar, 103,325-square-foot facility was paid for with $10,781,039 from the OSFC and the district residents picking up the rest with a 7.3 mill school levy and a .50 mill maintenance levy. Following the dedication more than 400 interested residents, teachers and students toured the attractive building. The interior color scheme, is especially attractive.both warm and conducive to enthusiasm. Students commented that the best thing about the new school was the air-conditioning It was a sad day in 2004 as many former students watched their old Alma Mater come tumbling down. The 1977 gym and the recently built band room would remain. Many fond memories remain and many bricks were taken home for souveniers. Students and teachers eagerly entered their new school in the fall of 2004, with much anticipation. They were happy with what they found. The new school includes elementary and high school wings, with corresponding administrative offices and a shared commons area, including the gymnasiums, auditeria and media center. The elementary wing includes 14 classrooms, as well as an art room and special education rooms. Each classroom has a sink and drinking fountain, with pre-K and kindergarten rooms equipped with their own restrooms. There is also a special playground for smaller children. The high school has 6 classrooms, including 2 for language arts, 2 for math, one for social studies and one for distance learning.

DELPHOS - St. Johns looked to rebound from its Coldwater loss last Friday as they took the field against the Anna Rockets on a rainy Friday night at Stadium Park. The big challenge was what is our answer going to be after Coldwater and the beating they put on us, said Blue Jay head coach Todd Schulte. The Blue Jays responded quite well in their Midwest Athletic Conference encounter and they did it on the ground, amassing 305 yards rushing in putting out the Rockets 28-7. After a pair of turnovers coming from both teams, Mark Boggs connected with Tyler Jettinghoff for a 44-yard touchdown pass, giving St. Johns an early 7-0 after the Andrew Metzger PAT with 5:03 left in the first quarter. Anna looked to answer, only to have a decent drive fall short. Jettinghoff, who had a whopping 216 rushing yards on only 13 tries, made easy work of the Anna defense on the Jays next play from scrimmage, running 88 yards for a 1-play TD drive. After Boggs ran in for a successful 2-point conversion, the score sat at 15-0 with 11:29 left in the second quarter. The following drive found Anna with yet another admirable drive, only to fall short on fourth down.

the whole night. We did a good job up front and Tyler is a great running back, said Schulte. He has great balance, is strong runner and broke a lot of tackles tonight. As the rains started to let up and the score board read 0:00, St. Johns walked away with a crucial MAC victory. They head to Maria Stein Friday night for a showdown with unbeaten Marion Local.

The Blue Jays get on the board first Friday night agains Anna with a Mark Boggs pass over the middle to tailback, Tyler Jettinghoff, and he split the defenders for the touchdown. The St. Johns drive was a quick 3-and-out, followed by another failed Anna drive. Jettinghoff gave St. Johns another 1-play drive, this time for 82 yards, making it 22-0 with only five seconds left in the half on Metzgers PAT. After a quick knee from Anna both teams went to the locker room. What was supposed to be a 20-minute halftime turned into almost two hours. Due to lightning, the game was delayed for roughly an hour and a half. After waiting the storm out, both teams took the field ready to finish up the contest. The second half started out promising for Anna. Following a St. Johns punt, Anna put together another decent drive, this time with a payoff. Most of the legwork was done by Christiaan Williams (76 yards rushing), who took it in for a 4-yard touchdown run. After Cody Wenricks extra point, Anna found the score board 22-7 with 1:10 left in the third quarter. The momentum was shortlived due to Boggs evading a sack to run for 56 yards. Jettinghoff finished the drive off with a 13-yard touchdown run, making it 28-7 with 11:53 in the fourth quarter after the kick was blocked. The rest of the fourth quarter saw Jettinghoffs rushes grind away at the clock and St. Johns defense stopping the run and knocking down passes, which was the story of

Lady Musketeers, Big Green fight to 0-0 draw in PCL showdown

OTTOVILLE On a cold, rainy Friday night, the Fort Jennings Musketeers girls soccer team traveled to the Ottoville Big Green Sports Complex to take on the Lady Green. In typical fashion between two excellent Putnam County League teams, goals were at a premium as the two teams battled to a 0-0 tie in their annual Putnam County League showdown. Both teams displayed their excellent defense throughout the first half. The Lady Musketeers had three corner kicks in a matter of three minutes (32:40, 31:24 and 29:00), with seniors Elaina Maag and Kristen Maag applying the pressure. The Musketeers all-league standout, senior Macy Schroeder, came up with her teams two shots on-goal as she sent two attempts (at the 28:10 and 25:28 mark) towards the Lady Green goal but senior Big Green goalie Rachel Beining made the saves and cleared for the home team. Helping Beining on the defensive end throughout the half was fellow seniors Monica Buettner, Marissa Pohlabel, Casey Miller and Nicole Vorst. Freshman Alena Horstman also played some key minutes in the game for the Lady Green on the defensive end. The lone scoring attempt for the Lady Green in the half came at the 1:51 mark when senior Rachel Turnwald found sophomore Haley Landwehr on the left side but Landwehrs shot was smothered and cleared by Musketeer senior goalie Gabbie German. As time expired in the first half, the scoreboard read 0-0 with only three shots on-goal (2 by Ft. Jennings, 1 Ottoville). As the second half started, the sky opened with rain, making the field slick and the ball skidding along the grass at an accelerated rate. It also made throw-ins very difficult. The rain, however, didnt dampen the spirit or drive of both of these teams. The Musketeers threw everything but the kitchen sink at Beining and the Ottoville defense. However, the Lady Green stifled the threats and Beining was excellent in goal, saving an additional eight shots (10 for the game). At the 17:55 mark, the Musketeers Schroeder found herself open with the ball at the 30-yard line, used her fancy footwork to side-step two Lady Green defenders and had an open look on the goal, but her laser shot was saved by Beining to keep the game scoreless. Schroeders presence on the field always causes the opposition to have some anxiety, as Lady Green Head Coach Tim Kimmet expressed: Its so hard to stop Macy. Shes such a good player. My hat is off to Nicole (Vorst) who shadowed and defended her very well and was a big key to us holding them scoreless tonight. The Lady Greens only second half shot on-goal came off the foot of Turnwald at the 20:20 mark as she beat the Musketeers defense but her shot was again saved by German. As good teams do, both fought to the last second with the last scoring attempt coming off of a corner kick by the Musketeers at the 35-second mark that was saved and eventually cleared by Beining as the last few seconds ticked of

Bearcats finish off Bulldogs in rain-delayed NWC grid battle By Brian Bassett Times Bulletin Sports Editor sports@timesbulletin. com SPENCERVILLE - The Spencerville Bearcat football team opened the season with a 3-1 mark but lacked a signature win, as each of their first three victories came against winless teams. The Bearcats got that victory Friday night when they defeated Columbus Grove for the second straight season, this time 30-6 in a game which saw a significant weather delay. With rain already falling at kickoff, both offenses took some time to get going, as the teams traded punts for the majority of the first quarter. It was Grove who first gained the momentum in the closing minutes of the first quarter. A pair of runs by senior running back Dakota Vogt, including a 21-yarder, set Grove up at the Spencerville 13-yard line. After an incomplete pass on second down, Vogt took the handoff on a dive to the 6-yard line, giving the Bulldogs first and

goal. Sophomore running back Joey Warnecke carried for no gain as the first quarter expired with Grove on Spencervilles doorstep. The Bulldogs found paydirt on the first play from scrimmage in the second quarter, when senior quarterback Collin Grothaus carried the ball around left end for a 7-yard touchdown run. A missed extra point kept the Grove lead a 6-0 with 11:55 to play in the second. Grothaus didnt stop making plays when the ball switched hands, either. He intercepted a pass from senior quarterback Derek Goecke on the ensuing possession. Grove was stalled on its next possession, which culminated in a sack by senior defensive tackle Coleman McCormick. Spencerville responded on its ensuing possession, finally getting the running game going. They marched 80 yards on nine plays, which ended when junior running back Anthony Schuh rambled 17 yards for a touchdown. The Bearcats then went for two and converted when junior running back Colton Miller pushed it in to give Spencerville an 8-6 lead with

The Herald 7

OHIO DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES Division of Wildlife Weekly Fish Ohio Fishing Report CENTRAL OHIO Deer Creek Lake (Fayette/ Pickaway counties) - As water temperatures cool, fish activity will increase. For crappie, target woody cover in the creek channel and move to shallower water as water temperatures cool; try minnows or jigs suspended under bobbers. Largemouth bass can be caught on buzz baits, crankbaits and plastics while fishing shoreline cover. Bluegill can be caught on wax worms and nightcrawlers. Channel catfish are feeding on cut bait and shrimp lake-wide. Kokosing River (Knox County) - Smallmouth bass are active around cover in upper pool areas; use small crankbaits in crawfish or shiner patterns but keep in mind that spinners are also effective. Rock bass can be caught in the same areas and on the same baits. Channel catfish can be caught using shrimp, nightcrawlers and prepared baits. The Kokosing River Water Trail provides excellent access to the river; maps are available online at www. wildohio.com. NORTHWEST OHIO Lost Creek Reservoir (Allen County) - Lost Creek is located 2 miles outside of the City of Lima at the intersection of Reservoir and Roush roads. Anglers have been catching crappie at the south end and at the north end, near the pump house. Anglers can use boats with electric motors; however, there is no ramp, so boats must be carried over the dike on the west side. Maumee River (Henry/Wood counties) - Anglers looking for some catfish action should check out near Weirs Rapids in Wood County or the mouth of Turkeyfoot Creek in Henry County. The best place to access Turkeyfoot is at the North Turkeyfoot Creek State Park Access off of SR 24, just east of the SR 109 bridge. Anglers can expect to catch catfish in the mornings and evenings anywhere along the banks, especially in the deeper holes near the cut banks. Try fishing on the bottom with nightcrawlers, liver or stink baits. Powers Reservoir (Crawford County) This 28-acre site is located on the south side of Galion, east of SR 61 and SR 309. Bass, channel catfish, crappie and bluegill can all be found here; there is good shoreline access around the entire reservoir. The parking lot is located at the northeast corner off of Railroad Street. For crappies, try minnows fished under bobbers or small jigs with twister tails. Bass anglers should try minnows, plastic worms, tubes, crank baits and small jigs. Anglers looking for catfish should try chicken livers, nightcrawlers or shrimp fished on the bottom. There is a primitive boat ramp located on the north side; boats are restricted to electric motors only. NORTHEAST OHIO Wingfoot Lake (Portage County) - There is something refreshing about that first deep breath of the crisp fall air, exhaling, seeing your breath in the chill of the air rolling out over the lake. Many miss out on this opportunity because they hang up the rod too early. The fall bite can be outstanding with many of the species of fish going into a feeding frenzy before winter temperatures arrive. The largemouth bass bite here right now is a perfect example of this; reports have both size and numbers being caught here. The trend seems to be that bass are suspended off shore in 6-8 feet of water biting on baits that mimic shad. Nimisila Reservoir (Summit County) - A great opportunity exists here to put some nice fillets in the fridge for a Saturday/ Sunday gameday fish fry. Really nice redear sunfish are being caught from shore using a pinmin with wax worm under a bobber; fish being kept range in the 7- to 9-inch-plus range. Check out the DOWs Cookbook (www. wildohiocookbook.com) for some good recipes. SOUTHEAST OHIO Muskingum River (Muskingum County) - Channel catfish should be biting; try cut bait, bluegill, chicken livers or nightcrawlers, particularly near the Y bridge area and Riverside Park - look for deep holes and sand or gravel bars. Most flathead catfish anglers prefer live baits such as chubs and sunfish; when fishing in the tail waters, try in the deep holes just below fast to moderate current. Smallmouth bass anglers generally prefer fishing the river north of Ellis Dam this time of year; cast near submerged structure in deeper pools and around the rock piles at the dam using jigs tipped with minnows or yellow or white twister tails. For additional access near the Ellis pool, a public boat launch ramp with associated parking is located near Dresden. Hammertown Lake (Jackson County) - Fishing should start picking up in this 157-acre lake, especially in the bay area in the evening hours. Largemouth bass are moving into deep water - try casting spinner baits or any topwater lures like buzzbaits or floating Rapalas. For channel catfish, use chicken livers or nightcrawlers fished on the bottom. Fishing

here will continue to improve as water temperatures cool. Anglers may even catch an occasional trout casting Powerbait or wax worms along the edges. SOUTHWEST OHIO Buck Creek State Park (Clark County) - Channel catfish are being caught using chicken livers, cut bait or earthworms fished slowly along the bottom and into deep pools. Fishing is good near the mouth of Buck Creek; keep the bait deeper than 10 feet. Cowan Lake (Clinton County) - Channel catfish are being caught using chicken livers, cut bait, shrimp or earthworms; cast from the pier area. Keep the bait off of the bottom, about 3-6 feet deep. Grand Lake St. Marys (Auglaize and Mercer counties) - Channel catfish are being caught by boat anglers while drifting near Safety Island and Windy Point Pier; use enough weight to keep your bait near the bottom. Best baits include shrimp, cut bait and chicken livers. OHIO RIVER Brown County - Flathead catfish have been hitting cut baits, chicken liver and nightcrawlers fished on the bottom. For smallmouth bass, try tube baits or crankbaits. Hybrid-striped bass have been caught using a jig and twister tipped with a minnow. Belleville Pool Area - Fishing pressure has slowed but bass anglers continue to bring in large numbers of catches, although they are smaller overall; hot baits to try this week include white umbrella rigs (for more information about their use in Ohio, go to www.wildohio.com), white or chartreuse jigs and crankbaits in shad or crawfish colors. Anglers looking for catfish are still having success with live baitfish and liver. Racine Dam Tailwater - If youre not having success on the weekends, try a different time; mid-week anglers have reported decent catches of striped bass and hybrid-stripers using spoons. Catfish anglers should also keep in mind that there has been a huge amount of skipjack in the 7- to 9-inch range running at the dam fairly consistently for the past week; this popular baitfish will bite on just about anything but anglers are currently having success with white grubs. LAKE ERIE Daily Bag Limit (per person) Regulations to Remember: Walleye (Ohio waters) - 6 (minimum size limit 15 inches); Yellow perch (Ohio waters) 30; Trout/Salmon - 2 through May 15 (minimum size limit 12); Black bass (largemouth and smallmouth bass) - 5 (minimum size limit 14). Western Basin: There have been very few walleye reports over the past week. The best came from around West Sister Island; trollers have been using divers with spoons or crankbaits off of planer boards. ... Yellow perch fishing has been good, with the best spots being buoys 12 and 13 of the Toledo shipping channel, 3 miles off of Little Cedar Point, West Sister Island, B can of the Camp Perry firing range, W of Green and Rattlesnake islands and E of Kelleys Island and its shoal; perch-spreaders with shiners fished near the bottom produce the most fish. Central Basin: Walleye have been caught off of the Castle near Ruggles Reef and on the sandbar between Vermilion and Lorain. Excellent fishing continues in 70-71 feet of water 10-11 miles out NE of Ashtabula and in 60-74 7.5-10 miles out NE of Conneaut; trollers are using wire-line off planer boards and dipsy divers, with purple, black, red, green, orange and brown spoons and stick baits. ... Yellow perch fishing has been good E of the Huron River channel buoys and N of the Vermilion River. Farther east, fishing continues to be excellent with many limit catches, especially in 42-47 N of Gordon Park, in 40-43 NE of Chagrin River, in 50-52 NW of Fairport Harbor (the hump) and in 51-71 NE of Conneaut; perchspreaders with shiners fished near the bottom produce the most fish. The best shore fishing spots to try are the Cleveland Piers and at Headlands Beach Pier in Mentor and the Fairport Harbor Pier using spreaders with shiners; mornings and evenings have been best. ... Smallmouth bass fishing continues to be very good in 15-23 around harbor areas in Cleveland, Fairport Harbor, Geneva, Ashtabula and Conneaut using crayfish, drop-shot rigs and tube jigs. ... White bass fishing has been spotty but can pick up at any time; try near shore in 10-25 N of Cleveland Harbor, NE of Gordon Park (Bratenahl) and in 10-20 N of Eastlake CEI. Look for gulls feeding on schools of shiners at the surface; white bass will be below. Shore anglers are catching them off the Eastlake CEI breakwall using agitators with jigs tipped with twister tails or using small spoons. ... Steelhead trout anglers are catching a few fish while trolling for walleye off Ashtabula; some large ones have been caught. See locations for walleye above. ... The water temperature is 67 degrees off of Toledo and 71 degrees off of Cleveland, according to the nearshore marine forecast. ... Anglers are encouraged to always wear a U.S. Coast Guard-approved personal flotation device while boating.

both unassisted, the first following a rebound that Bluffton was unable to get to. Underwoods goals were scored only 17 seconds apart. The Beavers shored up their defense in the second half and did not allow Huntington to score again. Blufftons lone tally came with nine minutes remaining. Sophomore Taylor Fultz (Camden/Preble Shawnee) sent the ball past Huntingtons keeper thanks to an assist from freshman Jenni Conley (Ravenna/ Rootstown). Both teams fired 10 shots but the visitors capitalized on their chances with the three goals. Huntington was called for two more fouls than the Beavers (119), while Bluffton forced three more corner kicks (4-1). The Beavers were paced by junior Aimee Whitmer (Grand Rapids/Otsego) with three shots, while three of her teammates added two shots apiece; Fultz, senior Maddie Moore (Linn Grove, Ind./South Adams) and junior Megan Moreo (Spencerville/Delphos Jefferson). Bluffton returns to action on Tuesday when the Beavers travel to Oberlin College. The contest is slated for 7 p.m. under the lights. ---Bluffton falls to ONU before knocking off Muskingum By Meghan Mohr Sports information assistant LEXINGTON, Ky. - To open the Ohio Athletic Conference/ Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference Volleyball Challenge, the Beavers had a rematch with local rival Ohio Northern. This time the Polar Bears were out for revenge, taking care of the Beavers in three sets, 25-19, 25-18, 25-18. The Beaver offense never gained the momentum that gave them the victory over the Bears the first time around. Leading Bluffton was freshman Jenny Brown (St. Marys/Memorial)

with seven kills. Fellow freshman Kendra Parmenter (Grove City) finished with six kills, followed by sophomore Kristyn Hovest (Pandora-Gilboa) who chipped in five kills. Mackenzie Lauber (Mansfield/Madison) dished out 20 assists in the loss. Defensively speaking, senior libero Heather Schierer (Crescent Springs, Ky./ St. Henry) led with 12 digs, followed by Hailey Phillips (Malinta/Patrick Henry) nine pickups. Kyleigh Whitsel (Sheffield Lake/Brookside) added six digs of her own. Up next in the tournament for the Beavers was Muskingum University. The match was a marathon 5-setter, leaving Bluffton

Praying with the Democrats, too

TERRY MATTINGLY

www.delphosherald.com

As the Republican show closed in Tampa, Cardinal Timothy Dolan faced a flock of Tea Party activists, religious conservatives and country-club loyalists and gently addressed the sanctity of life. We ask your benediction upon those yet to be born, and on those who are about to see you at the end of this life, said the shepherd of New York, who also leads the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. A week later, Dolan offered the final benediction for a Democratic National Convention in which 25 speakers praised or defended their partys unchallenged support for abortion rights. While covering the same litany of issues in both conventions, the cardinal tweaked this Charlotte prayer to make his point even more obvious. Help us to see that a societys greatness is found above all in the respect it shows for the weakest and neediest among us, said Dolan. We beseech you, almighty God to shed your grace on this noble experiment in ordered liberty, which began with the confident assertion of inalienable rights bestowed upon us by you: life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Thus do we praise you for the gift of life. Grant us the courage to defend it, life, without which no other rights are secure. We ask your benediction on those waiting to be

born, that they may be welcomed and protected. Strengthen our sick and our elders waiting to see your holy face at lifes end, that they may be accompanied by true compassion and cherished with the dignity due those who are infirm and fragile. Democrats respectfully stood with heads bowed, even as TV crews searched for anyone who might visibly shun the cardinal. Dolans late insertion into the program had been controversial after months of churchstate conflict between the Obama White House and the U.S. Catholic bishops caused by Health and Human Services mandates requiring most religious institutions to offer health insurance covering FDA-approved forms of contraception, including morningafter pills, and sterilizations. While critics on left and right were quick to parse the prayer, it was highly symbolic

that Dolan ended up standing before the Democrats in the first place, said Russell Shaw, former communications director for the U.S. bishops. Its very important to take steps to try to keep a religious presence in the public square, to make sure the church remains a player in debates about the great issues of our day, he said. There are major players who, quite frankly, want to chase us back into the sacristy, where were supposed to mind our own business and not bother all the important people who are working out in the real world. The Democratic Partys leaders could have declined Dolans offer to pray, which would have left him twisting slowly in the wind since he had accepted an invitation to give a benediction for the GOP, said Shaw. That would have made it easier to portray Dolan as a mere political partisan -- which was precisely what he was trying to avoid. Also, it was important to know that the Charlotte drama unfolded in the wake of Dolans decision -- infuriating many Catholic conservatives -- to invite President Barack Obama to the white-tie Al Smith Dinner, a nonpartisan event celebrating lighthearted civility that will take place just before the election. l, wrote Dolan on his The Gospel in

the Digital Age blog. I suppose its a case of prudential judgment: would I give more scandal by inviting the two candidates, or by not inviting them? ... In the end, Im encouraged by the example of Jesus, who was blistered by his critics for dining with those some considered sinners; and by the recognition that, if I only sat down with people who agreed with me, and I with them, or with those who were saints, Id be taking all my meals alone. One thing is certain: court cases and political debates about religious liberty and health-care reform will continue for some time to come. The cardinal knows that the U.S. bishops will eventually need to talk to people on both sides of the negotiating table. Cardinal Dolan has pretty good political instincts, said Shaw. In this case, he knows that its important to try to keep some channels of communication open. ... It helps to be able to pray with people and to break bread with them, too.

Applicant must pass a series of tests to qualify Send resume to: Dennis Klausing

Dear Annie: May I, a male in his 70s, respond to Bob, who said that aging, obese, snoring and unhealthy women are the reasons for bedroom problems? Perhaps in his home, but not in ours. I cant pinpoint exactly when intimacy began evolving into something deeper, but when I retired, I became so appreciative of this woman who, for more than 30 years, managed our home and family and always ensured that my life was as comfortable as possible. I show my love and thanks by having her coffee ready each morning and performing household labor. I dont mind that her body has added weight (so has mine). I compliment her continuing beauty, magnificent heart and kindness to others. -- Kathys Grateful Husband Dear Grateful: Bless your heart. We were overwhelmed with mail from men and women, agreeing and disagreeing with Bob. Read on for a tiny sample: Annies Mailbox From Kentucky: Bob is right. Men dont look at obese women walking by. But you wont see a woman taking a second look at an obese man, either. The majority of obese people have chosen that course by eating too much. Name Withheld: When I was 58, my wife decided that I should get my testosterone checked. I did -- and happened to mention that my wife had put on an extra 50 pounds. Boy, did I get an earful on the way home. Women are wired differently. They equate sex with love. Most men feel that sex is a physical thing. All this, and I still love my wife very much. Florida: Women of America, please ignore this pathetic loser. This jerk is an embarrassment to all decent men. Plenty of men have laughable beer bellies and think watching golf and NASCAR is exercise. Greencastle, Pa.: Im female and am repulsed by obese women. Recently, I watched a large friend eating ice cream. She doesnt understand why she cant get a man interested in her. Boston: Bob left out the most important part. In the darkness of ones bedroom, one can be in bed with a fantasy. But no amount of testosterone will make it any easier to kiss the lips that have been yelling at you all day long. California: Im a 52-year-old man, married for 31 years. I enjoy talking to my wife on the phone, but lose my libido as soon as I see her. Men are visually stimulated. I have even searched dating sites looking for sex. Bob is correct: The women on the dating sites are single because they are fat. Ohio: A man marries a woman for two reasons: She knows how to treat a man and looks fine, and she is kind and courteous and knows her place. Tannersville, Pa.: I always get a kick out of the ED commercials in which the woman is slim and attractive. Why dont they show the real slob the man goes home to after working all day? They should be marketing blindfolds, not drugs. Louisiana: I was married to a morbidly obese man and found his body revolting. He was a wonderful lover, but we had sex in the dark, and I tried not to look at him below the neck. Massachusetts: Women havent cornered the market on laziness and obesity. It just seems that women are more likely to overlook these faults than men. So when your wife wants sex, just shut your eyes and imagine someone hot. Shes been doing that for years. From a Nurse: According to Kaiser State Health Facts, 71.2 percent of adult men in the country are overweight or obese compared to 57 percent of adult women. People are more likely to become overweight if the environment they live in is conducive to unhealthy eating and inactivity. Married people tend to live in the same environment. Each partner should be willing to help and support the other to reach healthy goals and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Tomorrows Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 2012 Organizational activities might hold a special appeal to you in the year ahead, with certain arrangements tending to benefit you. However, you still must budget your time and money wisely. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- If you make a promise to family members or relatives that youre unsure of being able to keep, let them know right up front. If you dont and then are unable to comply, it may cause a brouhaha. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -Carefully screen all information you get from others, especially the juicy kind, so that you dont inadvertently pass on inaccurate gossip. It could damage someones reputation. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23Dec. 21) -- Youre essentially a compassionate person, and its hard for you to believe that there are some people who arent. Be careful, because you might have to deal with someone of the opposite type. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Even though you might feel a bit superior to your peers, be careful to keep it to yourself. Friends and associates need pats on the back, not put-downs. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- We all have days where we lack self-assurance, and it may be just such a day for you. If you tell a good idea to a negative thinker, he or she may convince you to scrap it. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Unless you truly do have some effective suggestions to offer, its best not to say anything to a friend who is trying to sort out his or her problems. You could make matters worse. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -Dont be taken in by a spellbinding person with impressive external trappings. What he or she espouses may sound or look great but be totally worthless in actuality. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -Youre one of the best at telling others what to do and how to do it, but when it comes down to you taking orders, you may not be so skilled. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- If unflattering comments about you that allegedly were said by another come back to you, dont take it as gospel. Someone may want to put you two at odds with one another. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Confer with your mate about establishing some ground rules for those in your charge. If you dont, you may say one thing while your spouse says another. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Be extremely careful what you commit to writing when it comes to matters that could affect your work or career. Ill-chosen words could come back to haunt you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -You are not apt to make any large financial purchases or commitments right now, but, through indifference, you could make a number of small ones that add up into a gigantic sum. MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 2012 Many new and different kinds of ambitions are likely to be awakened in you in the year ahead. These fresh hopes and aspirations will make a big difference in how you plan to go about achieving your aims. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Your way of doing things is likely to be superior to those of your associates, but you must be careful not to offend anybody who cant keep up. Dont complain or show off. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- When you are left to your own devices, you can be exceptionally good at working out tedious complications. If you have a problem to solve, seek a secluded place. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23Dec. 21) -- Show some kindness by helping a friend complete an important project. By doing so, you assure yourself of this pals support down the line. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- As the day progresses, deliberately loosen up a bit. Dont make everyone around you feel uncomfortable due to unwonted seriousness. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Try to conclude your business matters as early in the day as possible, because when youre rested you are likely to be thinking most clearly. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- If you and some friends are going somewhere and you plan to share expenses, you had better have a clear-cut understanding as to who pays for what. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -Being too opinionated causes others to walk away and do their own thing. In order to attract friends, be openminded and willing to go along with others thinking. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- The days events may cause you to get caught up with some essential last-minute assignments. Plan ahead, just in case you get stuck in the home stretch. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -If youre in need of some fun after work, go out with your pals but try to avoid crowed places. Youll enjoy yourself more in a place where you can chat intimately. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -A matter youve been anxious to get out of the way can be concluded to your satisfaction. However, in order to do so, you must make it a priority and not put it off for too long. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- By doing more listening than talking, you could learn something of extreme value. The secret is to find out what others know instead of trying to impress them with your wisdom. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Financial trends look to be exceptionally encouraging for you, not necessarily in terms of making additional money, but for more effective use of resources.

OLD SCHOOLS
(Continued from page 4)
Club (for outstanding efforts and random acts of kindness), Newberry Book Competition, Hands-on Science, FORT Adventure (Focusing on Remarkable Things after school, Technology Integration (Smart Board & iPad, etc.), Ribbon Week (promoting smart choices in life), Toys for Tots, Spreading the Holiday Spirit (which includes caroling at Senior Living Facilities), Big Brothers Big Sisters (mentoring on assignments and enrichment programs), Kids on the Block (from BGSU), Lima Youth Orchestra Concert, Right to Read Week, Worlds Largest Concert, Quiz Bowl, Spelling Bee, and visits from Natsue Yonekura on Japanese culture. The elementary students are also provided with outstanding play-ground equipment. Sports are an integral part of the school curriculum in Northwest and West Central Ohio. This is very true in Putnam County, where it has become part of community pride. Basketball has been the primary sport at Fort Jennings High School. Baseball was the first sport at FJHS, beginning in 1923. During the first years 23, 25 and 26 the team played only 1 or 2 games in a season. The Putnam County League for baseball was formed in 1931. There were 4 schools

in the East Division: Crawfis College, Leipsic, Ottawa SPPS and Pandora. The high schools of Columbus Grove, Fort Jennings, Kalida, Ottawa Public and Vaughnsville formed the Western Division. The first year for PCL boys basketball was 1935. The county tournament for boys began already in 1922. Boys basketball at FJHS started in 1940, following the construction of the new high school with a gymnasium. Supt. Clarence Specht organized and coached the first team Mr. Specht also chose the school colors of orange and black, along with the name Musketeers. Gradually other sports were added to the athletic department. The 2010-2011 list of sports also includes: Boys and Girls Soccer, Boys and Girls Track & Cross Country and Golf. Girls Volleyball was discontinued in 2006 because of the small enrollment and the conflict of schedules. The 2003-2004 volleyball team achieved a spot at the Ohio State tournament. Boys and girls also had tennis from 1979 1982. FJHS even had wrestling in 1969. SAY Soccer was the beginning of that sport in Fort Jennings. It gained in popularity because each player on a team was guaranteed to play two quarters per game. High School Boys Soccer started

in 1999. The girls program began in 2001. Girls sports began in 1971 with GAA basketball. Girls interscholastic sports began in the 1974 school year with the girls competing in volleyball, basketball and track events. High School girls basketball was officially sanctioned by the OHSAA with tournament play for the 1975-76 school year. The first state tournament for girls was in 1976. Early on girls had six players on a team and played the half court game. Junior High boys and girls both take part in county basketball tournaments. The high light of the FJHS boys basketball was winning the Ohio State Championship in 2000. During that season they also beat Delphos St. Johns two times. Many people traveled to Columbus on their own but the bank sponsored two chartered fan buses for the big event. The weekend was topped off with a big parade and celebration in the gym. The most notable season in girls basketball was 1999, when the team won the Regionals. One special game to remember was beating the Delphos St. Johns girls in an overtime tournament game. The high school baseball team reached the State Semifinals in 1994, but bowed out to Steubenville 4-2. The boys

soccer team reached the State Semi-finals but lost Cuyahoga Falls CVCA on that cold November night in 2004. Several groups and individuals reached the regional and state level in track and cross country. In the spring of 2000 the Girls 1600 relay reached a place on the podium by coming in 5th in the state. Over the years several boys and girls have achieved the Academic All-Ohio. Cheerleading has become a very competitive sport. Although not officially called a sport it has reached the point where it requires a high level of athletic ability. In recent years it has required tumbling and gymnastics. The Fort Jennings girls have taken part in competitions at the Allen County Fair, Van Wert County Fair, University of Findlay, Ohio State Fair, Kalida Pioneer Days, Delphos Canal Days, Several Regional events and competed at the Nationals in Orlando Florida 2 times. The FJHS girls were National RunnerUps in 2003. Schools in Putnam County have been receiving high ratings in the Ohio School Report Card Plan. Most of these schools are regarded as small schools. Perhaps big city schools and the Ohio Department of Education could learn something from the education and life styles of these communities. Parents and grandparents play a large role in the formation of education in the schools in the county. FJHS has received the rating of EXCELLENT each year since the plans inception in 2001-02. For the 2008-09 school year, it was rated Excellent With Distinction. The total enrollment of the Jennings Local Schools is 393 in grades K-12. This breaks down to 204 in the elementary (K 6) and 189 high school students, including eight who attend classes at Vantage. There were 25 in the 2012 graduation class. There are 44 in the pre-school program, which includes children from Kalida and Ottoville, as well as those from Fort Jennings. Kindergarten was started in Fort Jennings in 1966. The latest addition to be found on the FJHS campus is the Mary Lou Altenburger Outdoor Science Lab. Ground was broken for this outdoor classroom in May 2011. It was dedicated to Mrs. A who passed away on 2 May 2011. The 100 by 80 foot lab will include a windmill, solar panels, a garden and composting. There are several raised beds of flowers and vegetables in the plot. Over 100 trees were planted on the school campus in 2011. And now for old times sake! The old or first FJHS School Song Oh! Fort Jennings hail to thee Oh, long may you stand Our toast you will always be Were the best school in the land See our colors gaily fly As our team goes flashing by And our cheers ring through the sky Yea team! So on boys to victory Make score after score Cheer for our team tonight Make the echoes roar, Rah! Rah! Rah! Cheer for the orange and black And show the world our might! On boys to victory So lets Fight! Fight! Fight! You will notice it says: On BOYS to Victory. That was before girls sports came on the scene. The current school fight song is written to the tune of The Notre Dame Victory March.
