Council OKs $15M in appropriations for 2015

BY NANCY SPENCER

DELPHOS The city has a
working 2015 Budget. Council
passed the measure on third reading during a short meeting Monday
after an even shorter public hearing
on the financial document.
The hearing took less than two
minutes with no questions or comments from council, the administration or the public.
The budget includes a project-
ed $15 million in appropriations

with $3,090,000 from the General
Fund. Auditor Tom Jettinghoff
said 2015 looks much like this
year.
There isnt a whole lot in the
2015 Budget that we arent seeing
right now, he said. Its just a little
higher.
New revenue included $400,000
from the .25-percent income tax
increase voters approved in May;
almost $90,000 from a 5-percent
water rate increase; nearly $210,000
from a 10-percent sewer rate
increase.
Jettinghoff noted that replacement membranes for the wastewater
treatment plant are not budgeted in
line items in the sewer account.
We are still looking at a substantial amount for that and we havent
set anything aside, he added.
Safety Service Director Shane
Coleman said he received a proposed plan from Ovivo, LLC, to
increase the effectiveness of the
wastewater treatment plant and it
will be reviewed.
I will have that for council at
The Spencerville Water Treatment Plant is in its final stages of completion

with the exterior work almost done and interior finishing set to begin. Village
Administrator Sean Chapman said painting the interior block wall, finishing
the cabinetry of the lab room and other utilities will be completed by the end
of this month. The nanofiltration, left, and filter skids have been placed along
with some of the piping and electrical elements of the system. (DHI Media/

LIMA Nashville Crush, the hottest

country music band in western Ohio, has
been added to fill in the last remaining
night of grandstand entertainment at the
2014 Allen County Fair. Crush will perform at 8 p.m. on Aug. 22.
The band has always wanted to play the
big stage at the fair, Allen County Fair
General Manager David Grimm said. The
Fairs entertainment committee looked at a
lot of different entertainers but when they
found out the band was available, it was a
no-brainer to book them. The band plays
a lot of venues but their followers just cant
get enough of them.
Nashville Crush is well known in Ohio.
Since 2009, the band has been performing

In 2013, they released their first album
which saw three singles hit the number one
most-requested spot on regional radio for a

ELIDA Elida Village

Council passed legislation
on emergency Tuesday to
enter into a contract with
Bluffton Paving, Inc., for
the county and township
roads resurfacing project in
the amount of $41,263.
The emergency existed
to authorize and direct the
Allen County commissioners to accept the proposal
and also enter into a contract
with Bluffton Paving with
their bid of $239,402.74.
This resurfacing project also
includes projects for townships and other villages.
Other legislation passed
with a 5-0 vote on emergency was an ordinance
governing the use and operation of golf carts within
the village of Elida. One of
the key components of this
ordinance is the inspection
of golf carts. The inspection must be pre-arranged
with the police chief or his
designee. The owner of any
golf cart is required to pay
an inspection fee of $20,
which will be deposited into
the General Fund. If the
golf cart passes inspection,
a certificate of compliance
will be issued to the owner
entitling the owner to register, apply for a title and
purchase license plates for
the vehicle. The owner must

also show the police chief
or his designee a valid Ohio
operators license and proof
of financial responsibility
for the golf cart.
Tree Commission member Claude Paxton reported
the group met on June 30
with Ohio Department of
Natural Resources Forester
Stephanie Miller in attendance for a second time.
After some discussion on various aspects,
Stephanie helped us conduct a tour of Main Street
in hopes of putting a treeplanting plan in place,
Paxton said.
The plan does not determine whether property owners or the village is responsible for planting the trees.
The purpose is to regulate
what trees may be planted and where they may be
planted. Main Street was
chosen because of the projects on that street which
necessitated the removal of
some trees.
The factors considered
were the current vegetation,
surface, how well a shovel
could penetrate the ground,
the type of soil, the speed
of traffic, how many lanes
of traffic, whether there
is parking and the length
between traffic control
devices such as stop signs.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP)

Hundreds of Memphis police
officers have called in sick
over the past week, apparently to protest a decision by
city officials to reduce their
health care subsidies.
The number of officers
calling in sick had increased to

the 2,200-person force.
The officers have been
calling in since June 30.
Memphis Police Director

care subsidies for police,
firefighters, and other city
employees in order to redirect
money to the citys troubled
pension fund. Officers and

families, have staged protests
at City Hall since the vote on
June 17.

dried, but the virus usually has to be kept cold to

remain alive and dangerous.
In an interview Tuesday, a CDC official said
he believed the vials were stored for many years
at room temperature, which would suggest the
samples are dead. But FDA officials said later in
the day that the smallpox was in cold storage for
decades.
We dont yet know if its live and infectious,
said Stephan Monroe, deputy director of the CDC
center that handles highly dangerous infectious
agents.
The samples were rushed under FBI protection to the CDC in Atlanta for testing, which
could take a few weeks. After that, they will be
destroyed.
Peter Marks, deputy director of the FDAs
Center for Biologics Research and Evaluation,
said the discovery was unexpected but not a total
shock. He added, however, that no ones denying we should have done a better job cleaning out
what was there.
In at least one other such episode, vials of
smallpox were found at the bottom of a freezer
in an Eastern European country in the 1990s,
according to Dr. David Heymann, a former World
Health Organization official who is now a professor at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical
Medicine.
Heymann said that when smallpox samples
were gathered up for destruction decades ago,
requests went out to ministers of health to collect
all vials.
As far as I know, there was never a confirmation they had checked in with all groups who
could have had the virus, he said.
Dr. Donald D.A. Henderson, who led the
WHO smallpox-eradication effort and is now a
professor at the Center for Health Security at the
University of Pittsburgh, said it is highly unlikely
more such stashes will be discovered. But he conceded things were pretty casual in the 1950s.

FROM THE ARCHIVES
ATLANTA (AP) A government scientist

cleaning out an old storage room at a research
center near Washington made a startling discovery last week decades-old vials of smallpox
packed away and forgotten in a cardboard box.
The six glass vials were intact and sealed, and
scientists have yet to establish whether the virus
is dead or alive, the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention said Tuesday.
Still, the find was disturbing because for
decades after smallpox was declared eradicated
in 1980, world health authorities said the only
known samples left were safely stored in supersecure laboratories in Atlanta and in Russia.
Officials said this is the first time in the U.S.
that unaccounted-for smallpox has been discovered. At least one leading scientist raised the
possibility that there are more such vials out there
around the world.
The CDC and the FBI are investigating.
It was the second recent incident in which
a U.S. government health agency appeared to
have mishandled a highly dangerous germ. Last
month, scores of CDC employees in Atlanta were
feared exposed to anthrax because of a laboratory
safety lapse. The CDC began giving them antibiotics as a precaution.
The freeze-dried smallpox samples were
found in a building at the National Institutes of
Health in Bethesda, Maryland, that has been used
by the Food and Drug Administration since 1972,
according to the CDC.
The scientist was cleaning out a cold room
between two laboratories on July 1 when he made
the discovery, FDA officials said.
Officials said labeling indicated the smallpox
had been put in the vials in the 1950s. But they
said its not clear how long the vials had been in
the building, which did not open until the 1960s.
No one has been infected, and no smallpox
contamination was found in the building.
Smallpox can be deadly even after it is freeze-

WASHINGTON Cleveland
won the unanimous backing of a
Republican National Committee
panel on Tuesday, all but guaranteeing the GOPs 2016 presidential
pick will accept the partys nomination in perennially hard-fought
Ohio.
The Republicans site selection committee backed Cleveland
over donor-rich Dallas, and the full
168-member RNC is expected to
ratify the choice next month. The
move reflects the role Ohio and
its 18 electoral votes plays in
presidential campaigns.
As goes Ohio, so goes the presidential race, said party Chairman
Reince Priebus.
The RNC did not announce a start
date for the convention but Priebus

WASHINGTON (AP) It seems to

matter less whether your alma mater is
public or private than what you study
math and science in particular when it
comes to finding a high-paying job after
college, according to a report released
Tuesday by the Department of Education.
The survey of the class of 2008, by
DOEs National Center for Education
Statistics, provides an interesting snapshot of the nations educated elite following a crushing economic recession:
Overall, college grads reported lower
unemployment rates compared with the
national average, although black and
Asian college graduates were twice as
likely to be out of work than their white
classmates. College grads from private
four-year schools earned about the same
as those from public four-year schools,
about $50,000 a year.
But while a paltry 16 percent of
students took home degrees in science,
technology, engineering or math, those
who did were paid significantly better averaging $65,000 a year compared with $49,500 of graduates of other
degrees.
The findings are based on a survey of 17,110 students conducted in
2012, about four years after the students

obtained their bachelors degrees.
The survey found a strong correlation between earning money and highly
specialized degrees. More than 95 percent of grads who studied computer
and information sciences, for example,
were employed full-time at the time
of the survey and earned $72,600 on
average. Engineering students reported
similar job and salary prospects. Thats
compared with a humanities graduate
who was more likely to report working
multiple jobs and earn a full-time salary
averaging only $43,100.
The report also pointed to a correlation between being white or Asian and
male and having a higher salary.
Asian graduates reported earning
more than other ethnicities, averaging
$62,500 in full-time jobs compared with
$47,300 earned by Hispanics, $48,800
by blacks and $52,400 by whites.
Likewise, male grads reported earning
more $57,800 on average than
their female classmates in full time jobs,
who averaged $47,400.
The study doesnt explain the disparities in pay, which could be attributed to
different fields of study.
Among other findings in the report:

The average unemployment rate
among the graduates was 6.7 percent,
compared with the 8.1 percent national
unemployment rate at the time of the
survey. Unemployment rates were very
low for students who studied computer
and information sciences or engineering,
but jump for those with degrees in social
sciences or general humanities.
Most graduates avoided marriage
and kids in the four years after obtaining a degree. Only 19.6 percent reported
having both.
The average salary of students
graduating from for-profit four-year
institutions was slightly higher than
their nonprofit counterparts: $62,900
compared with $50,700 for public
school grads and $53,700 for private
school grads. But the unemployment
rate among for-profit schools was higher
at 12 percent, compared with the 6.2
percent graduating from public schools.
These disparities could be attributed
to the types of students who attend forprofit schools. Often highly specialized,
for-profit schools often attract students
who already have work experience but
lost a job or want to earn more money.
Kids studying abroad are Martin graduates magna

now never out of touch cum laude from Tiffin
NEW YORK (AP) A generation ago, students on semester abroad were practically incommunicado, aside from airmailed letters and one or two calls home. These days, from the
minute the plane lands, kids studying overseas are connected
with home via Skype, Facebook, and messaging apps like
Viber and WhatsApp.
Has technology altered semester abroad by making it
impossible to immerse yourself in another culture? Or does
staying in touch simply increase comfort levels, easing both
homesickness and parental worries?
Jane Tabachnick of Montclair, New Jersey, remembers airmailing letters to her parents when she studied in Paris for nine
months at age 21, long before the cellphone era. I knew they
were worried and that theyd be waiting by the mailbox, she
said. It seemed like an eternity between letters.
It was different when Tabachnicks 21-year-old daughter
lived in Russia and Paris as part of her studies at Rutgers
University. They often conversed by Skype or GoogleChat.
My daughter is very mature and level-headed and Im not a
big worrier, but Im a parent, and shes across the world, and it
was just so easy to be in touch, Tabachnick said.
On the other hand, she said, the less she heard from her
daughter the better, and not because she didnt miss her: When
I hear from her a little less, I know shes out having fun.

Homemade Honey Ham Loaf

1 pound fresh ground turkey
1 pound ground ham
1 cup bread crumbs
1 egg
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
3/4 cup milk
SAUCE
1/2 cup clover honey
2/3 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup vinegar
Grind meat. Mix ground meats, bread
crumbs, egg, salt, pepper and milk. Shape into
a loaf. Bake at 350 degrees for one hour. For
the sauce, mix the brown sugar, dry mustard,
water and vinegar together. Pour sauce over
loaf. Bake for one more hour.
If you suffer from poor circulation, injury, swelling or any condition that leaves your feet fatigued
and sore, then read on to discover
the breakthrough that can change
your life.
Good news comes in the form of
a pain-busting microfiber that is
used to weave a circulation-boosting sock, called BambusaTM.
Better Blood Flow
The miracle sock is made from
a new, patented anion-technology
that is weaved into every strand of
thread used to make a BambusaTM
sock. This special micro-fiber
thread is made from revolutionary
bamboo charcoal to stimulate
blood flow andrevitalize feet.
When this material comes in contact with body-heat it is proven to
release circulation-boosting ions.
The 3D-weave technology used
in the material has been compared
to infrared light therapy to help revitalize stiff and sore muscles. The
manufacturer, who also makes a
back and wrist sleeve, says the material provides almost instant relief
to any part of the body it touches,
making it ideal for diabetics, athletes,inflammation, stiffness and
swelling.
Anne M. from California agrees.
Bambusa socks are absolutely the
most comfortable socks I have ever
worn! My feet are no longer fatigued!
Therapy
Without A Prescription!
When the socks were photographed using a thermographic
imaging camera, results showed up
to a 17% to 22% increase in blood
flow. This helped to improvemuscle oxygenation and decrease foot
fatigue. The socks have been proven
to provide extended relief from
cold, swollen and fatigued feet.

Pain specialist
of 30 years, Dr.
Jahner comments
on the 3D-weave
technology. Infrared therapy has
been used for
years at medical
clinics to treat vascular and circulatory conditions. Physical therapists
use infrared therapy to speed recovery. Better blood flow equals
less pain. This microfiber works
much the same way.

The infrared anions generated by the charcoal bamboo increase blood flow and deliver oxygen to the tissues. After
wearing for only minutes there is an increase in temperature
due to the increased blood flow, resulting in improved comfort and reduced swelling. Twenty minutes after using the
anion-fiber infused socks, patient has better blood flow and
less numbness.
"Circulatory dysfunction affects
MOST of the adult population in
the United States. Heart Disease,
Strokes and Diabetic conditions are
at epidemic levels; anything that
improves circulation improves cellular health and vitality. I use the
Bambusa product myself and recommend it to my clients. It really
works! states Dr Jahner.
Results in Minutes?
John G. of California claims he
felt immediate results with his
tired, swollen feet. Without exaggeration the relief was almost instantaneous. It is like a heating pad
set to low and wrapped around my
calf. I will be replacing my entire
set of dress socks with these
socks!
Relief for Tired, Swollen Feet
BambusaTM socks are not a medical device or compression socks
because they dont restrict blood
flow. Utilizing the special negativeanion technology, they comfortably
increase blood flow and oxygen to
tissues. My feet felt wonderful,
cool, and I never got that pins and
needles feeling anymore. I love my
BambusaTM socks, says Nancy,
from NJ.
They are ideal for diabetics and
those suffering from neuropathy or
injury from repetitive use. BambusaTM socks can also bring comfort to tired legs within minutes of
putting them on, energizing individuals who spend long hours on
their feet.
Goodbye to Pain and Numbness
Marilyn H. has suffered persistent foot problems for years and noticed fast results. The issue for me
was persistent numbness in my
toes - it was gone completely after
a few days of wearing these socks!
Being diabetic, I never had painfree feet - UNTILNOW!

Doty and WoO returns to Limaland

By JIM METCALFE
DHI Media Sports Editor
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
LIMA
Limaland
Motorsports Park has developed
quite a reputation in Northwest
Ohio and throughout the
nation for its racing schedule.
One of the main reasons is
the annual Brad Doty Classic
that has previously attracted
NASCAR stars such as Kasey
Kahne and Tony Stewart to the
semi-banked, 1/4-mile oval.
Today is the 26th annual
installment of the Ohio Logistics
Brad Doty Classic presented
by Racing Optics event which
brings the best of the World of
Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series
to the dirt track west of Lima.
This started as a benefit
in 1989 for me and my family after an accident ending my
racing career in 1988. It has
grown into what we have today:
an exciting, highly-competitive
and highly-sought-after race on
the circuit, he reflected.
Especially since there has
been seven different winners in
the past eight events defending champion Donny Schatz is
the only 2-time winner in that
span and is also the current
leader of the World of Outlaws
20 overall and only four
that won twice: Schatz, Danny
Smith, Steve Kinser and Dale
Blaney.
Steve has announced that
2014 will be his last year of
full-time racing in the World
of Outlaws, so this might be
his final time here. I know he
wants to win every race but I
think he especially wants to win
here, Doty said. This race is
not only national in scope but
international. You get drivers
from Australia coming here to
race. These are full-time professionals and they take it very
seriously. Thats one of the reasons why this race has grown to
what we have today.
The second is the great racing that attracts fans. That is
what you have to have every
year and that, as a co-promoter,

Germany routs Brazil 7-1, reaches World Cup final

Associated Press
BELO HORIZONTE, Brazil With
Neymar out injured, just about everyone
in Brazil knew it would be tough against
Germany.
Nobody ever expected this.
The Germans tore apart Brazils porous
defense time and time again Tuesday,
routing the hosts 7-1 in the World Cup
semifinals, the largest margin of defeat at
this stage in the history of the tournament.
We wanted to make the people happy
unfortunately we couldnt, said Brazil
defender David Luiz, who had scored in
each of the last two matches. We apologize to all Brazilians.
The astounding scoreline is sure to
overshadow Miroslav Kloses record-setting 16th career World Cup goal. The strike
pushed Klose past Brazil great Ronaldo,
who was at the Mineirao Stadium on
Tuesday as the Germans advanced to their
eighth World Cup final.
Germany will face either Argentina
or the Netherlands on Sunday at the
Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro with
a chance to win for the fourth time.
Brazil was playing without Neymar, the
teams key player and the poster boy for
the World Cup. He scored four goals in the
group stage but Brazils attack seemed to
get weaker and weaker as the tournament
progressed. The Barcelona striker was
ruled out of the tournament with a broken
vertebra after getting kneed in the back in
the quarterfinal win over Colombia, weakening the sputtering attack even more.
With Neymar sidelined and captain
Thiago Silva suspended, the collective
hopes of a nation remained high even if
expectations were lowered.
The atmosphere at the start of the
match was spine-tingling but the euphoria of the yellow-shirted thousands soon
turned to tears as the Germans scored

five goals in the first 30 minutes four
of them in a 7-minute span.
It was very important to stay calm,
cool and courageous in facing Brazilian
passion, Germany coach Joachim Loew
said.
The loss matched Brazils most-lopsided defeat ever and its the first time the
team has lost in an official competitive
match on home soil since 1975, when
Peru won 3-1 at the very same stadium
in the Copa America. Its last loss at home
came in a friendly with Paraguay
in 2002.
Previously, Brazils biggest
World Cup loss was 3-0 to France
in the 1998 final. In the 1920 the
South American championship, the
predecessor of the Copa America,
Brazil lost 6-0 to Uruguay.
The responsibility for this catastrophic result is mine, Brazil coach Luiz
Felipe Scolari said. I was in charge.
It was Germanys biggest World Cup
win since routing Saudi Arabia 8-0 in a
group match in 2002.
On Tuesday, with Bernard playing as
the third striker in the place of Neymar,
Brazil attacked from the start. But they
failed to get any solid chances and it
wasnt long before the Germans opened
up the defense and started the rout.
Toni Kroos and Andre Schuerrle scored
two goals each, while Thomas Mueller
and Sami Khedira added the others.
Oscar pulled a late goal back for Brazil.
Brazil was shocked after the goals;
they did not expect that. They did not
know what to do, Loew added. Their
defense was not organized. A little humbleness would not hurt now.
Klose scored his record goal in the
23rd minute to make it 2-0. The German
had his original shot saved but he fol-
lowed up as Brazil goalkeeper Julio Cesar

spilled the ball, easily scoring from the
rebound.
Kroos scored his first goal in the
25th minute, knocking in a cross from
Philipp Lahm that bypassed Mueller in
the middle. He made it 4-0 a minute later,
beating Cesar after a defensive mistake
from Fernandinho left the ball on the feet
of Khedira.
Mueller scored the first goal, onetiming a corner from Kroos past Cesar in
the 11th minute. Khedira made it 5-0 in
the 29th, taking a pass from Mesut
Ozil and again beating Cesar.
Today, 10 minutes went wrong
in the game and Germany did really
well, Scolari added. Its a chaotic
and terrible defeat but we have
to learn from it.
Schuerrle, who came on for
Klose in the 58th minute, scored from a
cross by Lahm in the 69th, then knocked
a shot off the underside of the crossbar
and into the net in the 79th.
Its the first time Brazil had allowed
five goals in a World Cup match since
the 1938 tournament in France, when the
team beat Poland 6-5 in extra time.
In previous World Cup semifinal
matches, the largest margin of defeat was
five goals, occurring on three occasions.
Lineups:
Brazil: Julio Cesar; Maicon, Dante,
David Luiz, Marcelo; Luiz Gustavo,
Fernandinho (Paulinho, 46), Oscar;
Bernard, Fred (Willian, 69), Hulk
(Ramires, 46).

Brantley homers, drives in 3; Indians beat Yankees

CLEVELAND (AP) Michael Brantley
homered and had three RBIs, Nick Swisher
hit a go-ahead 2-run shot and the Cleveland
Indians stopped rookie sensation Masahiro
Tanakas bid to become the major leagues
first 13-game winner Tuesday night with a 5-3
victory over the New York Yankees.
Brantley hit a leadoff homer in the seventh.
The first-time All-Star also had RBI doubles
in the first and fifth, raising his average
to .328.
Tanaka (12-4) allowed season worsts
of five runs and 10 hits in 6 2/3 innings.
The right-hander, who lost for the third
time in four starts, took a 3-2 lead into the
sixth before Swisher, a former Yankee, hit
a 2-run homer that put Cleveland on top.
Trevor Bauer (3-4) allowed three runs
in seven innings and retired 13 of the last 14
hitters he faced. New Yorks only base-runner
in that stretch came on Swishers fifth-inning
error. Bauer struck out six and walked two in
winning for the first time since June 16.
Cody Allen pitched the ninth for his 10th
save.
The Yankees were held to four hits, none

coming after Brian McCann had a 1-out single
in the third.
The Indians committed three errors, giving
them a major league-high 75 for the season.
Swisher heard boos from the crowd earlier
in the game after going 0-for-2 and having a
routine ground ball go through his legs.
Tanaka allowed a run in a 25-pitch first
inning and gave up two hits in the second. He retired seven straight before
allowing a run in the fifth when Brantley
had a 2-out double after Chris Dickerson
led off with a single.
Tanaka struck out five and walked
one.
New York scored twice in the first
on Mark Teixerias RBI single and a
throwing error by catcher Yan Gomes. Brett
Gardner added a run-scoring groundout in the
second.
Jason Kipnis started the first with a single,
stole second and scored when Brantley doubled to right. Brantley leads the Indians with
14 homers and 60 RBIs.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. NASCAR has
penalized Kurt Busch and his StewartHaas Racing team for failing a postrace inspection at Daytona International
Speedway.
Crew chief Daniel Knost was fined
$10,000 on Tuesday because the track
bar on Buschs Chevrolet exceeded the
maximum separation. Busch finished
third in Sundays rain-shortened and
rescheduled race.
Busch was also docked 10 driver
points; Gene Haas was docked 10 owner
points.
The penalty dropped Busch from
24th to 26th in the standings. But the
2004 NASCAR champion still has a 156point advantage on the 31st-place driver.
Busch only needs to be ranked in the top

ELIDA Bath scored two unearned runs in the top of the first
inning versus Van Wert in their ACME summer baseball District
Tournament on a warm Monday evening at Ed Sandy Memorial Field
in Elida.
Wildcat starter Andrew Renner made it stand up with a 3-hitter as
the Wildcats dismissed the Cougars 7-0 to end their season at 15-8.
Bath (17-6) advances on to the ACME State Tournament Saturday
night versus host Archbold.
Renner threw a 94-pitch complete game (52 strikes), ceding those
three hits and walking four. He fanned one.
Cougar Caleb Fetzer was the hard-luck loser, going 4 1/3 innings,
giving up three hits and five runs (2 earned), while walking four, striking
out three and uncorking three wild pitches. Josh Braun finished the outing (2 2/2 innings, 4 hits, 2 runs, 1 earned, 1 base-on-balls, 2 strikeouts).
Justice Tussing (triple), Joe Lisa and Ryan McCracken had the
Cougar safeties.
We fell behind and put us in uphill mode the rest of the way. In
games like this, you never know what can happen, Van Wert ACME
coach Carlin Dunlap explained. We made three errors and they were
all costly; that will happen against good competition. Offensively, we
hit into two double plays and just seemed a hit away. Their pitcher did
a nice job of keeping us off-balance. All in all, this summer was a learning experience and we improved a lot. Thats what summer ball is for;
finding out what you need to work on for the spring.
Cam Jenkins had the best day at the plate for either unit, going 2-for3 (2 doubles) and knocked in a run. Tyler Stahr scored twice.
Bath had no errors and turned a pair of double plays while Van Wert
had three defensive miscues.
Andrew isnt a hard thrower but he keeps batters off-balance.
Plus, he had great defense behind him, Bath ACME coach Johnny
Simindinger noted. Offensively, getting the lead early really helps. We
made solid contact and took advantage of everything they gave us.
Bath got two unearned tallies in the first. A 2-base error on Tyler
Stahrs fly ball led it off. He advanced on a fly ball to deep center and
scored as Jenkins drilled a double to right. Cam Clarks groundout
advanced the runner to third, from where he came plateward on an
Andrew Jordan 2-baser to deep left.
Tussing tripled to deep left to open the Cougar first and Joe Lisa
walked. However, an out later, Ryan Stoller popped out to the pitcher
near the third-base line and he caught Lisa too far off first for an inningending twin-killing.
Bath got another unearned run in the top of the second on a 2-out
free pass to Luke Niebel, two stolen bases and an error on the latter.
Van Wert mounted a challenge in the third on a 1-out single to left
by McCracken and a 2-out knock to right by Lisa to put runners on the
corners. However, they could not score.
The Cougs had another challenge in the fourth on a pair of 1-out
free passes to Fetzer and Mason Carr. However, Gavin Gardner forced
pinch-runner Kaleb Jenkins at third and Davis threw to first to double
up Gardner.
The Wildcats made it 5-0 in the fifth. With one down, Stahr walked,
then stole second and took third on a wild pitch on a ball four to Jared
Davis. Two wild pitches plated Stahr and put Davis at third. A free
pass to Jenkins finished Fetzer. Clark greeted Braun with a run-scoring
infield hit to the hole at short for a 5-0 spread.
McCracken worked a 1-out base-on-balls in the Cougar fifth but
was called out on Renners pickoff move.
Bath finished off its scoring in the sixth. A throwing error on
Renners grounder opened it. Chase Clark looped a single down the leftfield line and Niebel sacrificed both runners up. Stahrs single to right
plated pinch-runner Drew Brown and put runners on the corners. Davis
lined a hit into right to get Chase Clark home but Stahr was caught in a
rundown between second and third.
Renner sent down the last seven Cougars.

Stricker has withdrawn from the British
Open next week at Royal Liverpool. Its
the second straight year he has decided
not to play as he cuts back his schedule.
Stricker was replaced in the field by
Ryo Ishikawa of Japan.
Stricker last year began reducing
his schedule to spend more time with
his family. He thought about playing The
Open this year, though it looked unlikely
when he added The Greenbrier Classic
to his schedule and his wife caddied
for him.
Ishikawa won in Japan last week for
his first victory since November 2012.
That moved him to a No. 76 world

ranking and enabled him to be the first
alternate.
CINCINNATI The leader after the
opening round of the 108th Ohio Amateur
is Coldstream Country Club.
No fewer than 33 players shot 80
or higher and only six broke par under
windy conditions over the courses rolling
6,975 yards.
Wright State golf coach Pete
Samborsky shot 2-under 69 to share the
lead with Christopher Sloan and Clark
Engle after the first round of the 108th
Ohio Amateur on Tuesday.
Samborsky,
originally
from
Cincinnati, birdied four of his last seven
holes, while both Sloan, a native of
Centerville, and Engle, an Ohio State
golfer from Springfield, each had five
birdies offsetting three bogeys.
Dukes Michael Ricaurte, Kent
States Ryan Troyer and Tim Crouch, a
former Florida Southern player, were the
only other players under par at 70.
The four former winners in the field
all fared well.
Defending champion Andrew Dorn
shot a 72 as did 1987 winner Peter
Hammar, while 2-time champ Robert
Gerwin and Alan Fadel each had a 73.

US consumer
borrowing rises
at slower pace
WASHINGTON (AP)
Consumers increased their
borrowing at a slower pace
in May compared to the prior
month.
Overall credit rose by
$19.6 billion in May, down
from a gain of $26.1 billion
in April, the Federal Reserve
said Tuesday. The relatively
modest increase should help
to feed slow but steady economic growth, because consumers rely on debt to pay
tuition, buy cars and shop.
Total outstanding consumer debt is now approaching
$3.2 trillion.
Auto and student loans
drove much of the gains in
May. They increased by a
combined $17.8 billion. That
marks a year-over-year rise of
9.3 percent.
Credit card debt rose by
a slight $1.8 billion in May,
after having surged in April.
The increase in credit card
debt over the past year has
been 2.5 percent.
Increased borrowing usually suggests that people are
more confident about their
prospects and willing to take
on debt. That, in turn, can
help drive consumer spending, which accounts for 70
percent of U.S. economic
activity.
Credit card debt plummeted during the recession. An
average household had $8,740
in credit card debt when the
downturn started at the end of
2007, according to an analysis
of Fed figures by the financial
data firm NerdWallet.

US companies post most jobs in 7 years in May

WASHINGTON (AP) U.S. employers advertised more jobs in May than in any
month in the past seven years, a sign that this
years strong hiring trend is likely to continue.
More Americans also quit their jobs,
a good sign because it usually occurs
when workers find new and higher-paying jobs. It also opens up more positions
for those out of work.
Employers posted 4.64 million jobs, a 3.8
percent increase from Aprils total of 4.46
million, the Labor Department said Tuesday.
Thats the fourth straight strong gain and is the
highest number since June 2007.
The figures come after last weeks
healthy jobs report and underscore this
years steady improvement in hiring.
Employers added a net total of 288,000
jobs in June, the government said last
week, the fifth straight month of gains
above 200,000. Thats the first such stretch

in 15 years. The unemployment rate fell to
a five-year low of 6.1 percent.
Tuesdays report, known as the Job
Openings and Labor Turnover survey,
offers a more complete picture of the job
market. It reports figures for overall hiring, as well as the number of quits and
layoffs. The monthly jobs figures are a net
total of job gains or losses.
Some details of the report werent as
encouraging. Employers have been slow
to fill their open jobs, which suggests they
are having trouble finding workers with
the right skills.
Total hiring actually slipped in May,
to 4.72 million from 4.77 million in the
previous month.
But the number of people quitting
their jobs rose 60,000 to 2.5 million,
the highest level since June 2008. More

quits indicate workers are confident
about their job prospects.
Federal Reserve chair Janet Yellen has
said she is tracking the overall hiring and
quits figures as indicators of the job markets health and dynamism.
Both quits and hiring remain below
their pre-recession levels, evidence that
the job market isnt yet back to full health.
In the past year, job openings have
increased nearly 20 percent. But total hiring has risen just 4 percent.
Some economists say that is a sign
that many of those out of work dont have
the skills needed for the available jobs.
Former construction workers or factory
employees, for example, may not be able
to fill new jobs in health care or other
growing fields.
High-fiber cereals can satisfy your taste buds
Fiber-rich cereals have made progress on the road to tastiness. Fourteen years ago, Consumer Reports found that most
high-fiber cereals tasted more like straw than grain. But in
its latest tests of 26 cereals, most with at least 6 grams of fiber,
more than two-thirds tasted very good or better.
Consumer Reports testers have advice on how to get the
best for breakfast:
-- Based on the results, you can buy shredded wheat and
raisin bran by price. Within those categories, many of the
cereals taste quite similar, and theres a CR Best Buy for each
type: Market Pantry Frosted shredded wheat (Target) and Great
Value raisin bran (Wal-Mart).
-- Four cereals were both very tasty and very nutritious
based on calories, fat, sodium, sugars, iron, calcium and fiber:
Kelloggs All-Bran Original, Post Grape-Nuts The Original,
Post Shredded Wheat Original Spoon Size and Post Shredded
Wheat Wheat n Bran Spoon Size.
-- The only cereal that was excellent for taste was Bear
Naked Fruit and Nut granola. But its overall nutrition was fair,
and it has just 2 grams of fiber per quarter-cup serving.
A TASTE OF GOOD HEALTH
Market Pantry, the best-tasting of the shredded wheat
cereals, is frosted, has larger biscuits than others and isnt as
crunchy. Post Original Spoon Size is unfrosted and much less
sweet than others.
All of the four very good raisin brans have tender, sugarcovered raisins, and toasted bran and malt flavors. Although
their flakes became less crisp after 2 minutes in milk, they
didnt get soggy.
Post Grape-Nuts, the top other high-fiber cereal, has
pebblelike wheat bits that soak up milk, which softens and
improves their texture. They have a nutty grain flavor and no
sweetness. And that excellent tasting Bear Naked granola has it
all: large and small clusters with pecans, walnuts, almonds, raisins, cranberries, sesame seeds, coconut slivers, brown sugar,
honey and cinnamon.
Despite the benefits of fiber -- it can help control appetite
and weight, and might help lower the risk of heart disease
and Type 2 diabetes -- the Department of Agriculture says
American adults consume an average of just 15 grams a day.
Thats far below the 25 grams recommended for women and
38 for men.
Many foods are naturally high in fiber, but cereals are one
of the most convenient ways to get it. Some cereal makers add
inulin (usually from chicory-root fiber or extract) to boost fiber.
Although cereal manufacturers often tout fiber levels,

Consumer Reports notes that youll hear other boasts, too.

Claims for the tested cereals include as much protein as an
egg (Kashi GoLean Crunch and Kashi GoLean Fiber Twigs),
and no GMOs, referring to genetically modified organisms
(Cascadian Farms Organic Oats and Honey as well as Natures
Path Organic Flax).
A misleading claim for Kelloggs Frosted Mini-Wheats -that it was clinically shown to improve kids attentiveness by
nearly 20 percent -- recently resulted in the companys agreement to pay $4 million to settle a class-action lawsuit.
The tested cereals can also be distinguished by their calorie
counts, ranging from 60 to 260 per serving. Granolas, often
thought of as healthful, are among the highest in calories and fat
-- up to 10 grams per serving in the tested granolas compared
with 1 gram in the other types of cereals. Sodium and sugars
also range widely. Some cereals include artificial sweeteners,
which minimize sugar content.
Bottom line: Overall, 18 cereals tasted very good or excellent; 11 were very good or excellent for nutrition. Consider
serving sizes, too. They range from a quarter-cup to 1 1/4 cups
depending on the cereals density, so be careful how much
you pour. Overdose on a whole cup of Bear Naked Fruit and
Nut granola, and youll consume 560 calories, more than a
fourth of the number most people should have in a day.

Son seeks to protect

siblings from
inheritance tax
DEAR BRUCE: My parents were very frugal during

their 60-plus years of marriage and saved a considerable
amount of money. Mother
passed away last year, and
Dad is living in an assisted living facility. He currently has
just over $300,000 in savings
and $10,000 in his checking
account.
I have his power of attorney and take care of paying
his bills. I am also listed as his
executor in his will. He currently has sufficient income
to pay his bills, and has longterm care insurance in the
event it is needed.
Dads desire is to leave
$100,000 to each of his three
children when he passes away
(hes 85 years old), and my
sisters and I are very appreciative of his generosity.
However, our main concern
is that his money be there for
Dad, to make the remaining
years of his life as pleasurable
and comfortable as possible.
That being said, we would
like to know if there is an
investment, something like a
trust, that would minimize a
potential inheritance tax for
my sisters and myself, but
allow Dad plenty of access to
his money while he is still living. -- E.A., via email
DEAR E.A.: It appears to
me that you have everything
handled. You have long-term
care insurance in the event it is
needed and sufficient income
to pay your dads bills. If the
time comes when his money
will be needed to take care
of him, I have absolutely no
problem in spending your
inheritance on him.
I dont understand why
you are worrying about inheritance tax for your sisters and
yourself. With the amount of
money that you described,
there will be no inheritance
taxes. Possibly, in some states,
a minor inheritance tax may
apply, but on $300,000 with
three heirs, I doubt seriously
there will be any taxes to be
considered.
DEAR BRUCE: If a tree
from a neighbors yard falls
into my yard, who is responsible for the cost of cleanup?
If it falls in my yard and it
is my responsibility, I would
like to know why. I reside in
Pennsylvania, if state law is a
factor. -- W.G., via email
DEAR W.G.: Its not quite
as simple as you are saying.
If the tree in your neighbors
yard falls into your yard due
to wind or some other act of
god and the tree was a healthy
tree, then you are responsible
for the cost of the cleanup.
The logic there is that an act
of god caused it and youre
responsible.
However, if it could be
demonstrated that the tree was
rotten and that was the reason
for the fall, and the owner of
the tree knew the tree was rotten and failed to act, then he
would be responsible for the
cleanup.
The troublesome part of
this whole equation is that
the cost of the cleanup is relatively modest, and it would
Description

cost more to pursue it legally
than it would be worth. You
should be aware of any trees
that are diseased and make it
clear to your neighbor, in a
friendly way, that he should be
attending to this problem and
remove the tree before it falls.
DEAR BRUCE: My husband and I are considering
a reverse mortgage. We are
retired, living on my husbands pension and Social
Security disability. I am not
receiving any assistance.
What is the interest rate on a
reverse mortgage, and when
we inquire, will they want to
know what the money is for?
-- D.Y., via email
DEAR D.Y.: For many
folks, a reverse mortgage is
a solid way to tap into equity
they have in a home that they
wish to continue to live in, but
they do not wish to pay back
the loan until they pass on. Its
not a bad idea.
One thing you will learn
is that the interest rate on
a reverse mortgage is higher
than on a conventional mortgage. I am not certain where
you get the idea that the lender
will want to know where the
money is going. But if asked,
you can be very general -- for
example, to pay bills, or pay
off an existing mortgage, or to
use for pleasure.
Reverse mortgages are not
for everyone. You didnt indicate how old you are. Why is
that important? Both of you
must be at least 62 years old
to be eligible. The older you
are, the more you will be able
to receive.
In other words, if you are
both 62, you may have 20
to 25 years left to live. As a
consequence, the lender will
lend you a relatively modest amount of the equity you
have. On the other side, if you
are both 85 years old, your life
expectancy is considerably
shorter, and youll be able to
receive a much larger loan.
DEAR BRUCE: How
much of your income should
you spend on monthly house
expenses? I heard that it
should be 50 percent. Can you
tell me if that sounds right?
-- G.D., via email
DEAR G.D.: I dont know
where you heard 50 percent.
That is way out of balance.
Somewhere around 30 percent
would be as high as I would
go, and I would like to shave
that down a couple of points.
Spending half of your income
on just house expenses is
far more than most budgets
would ever be able to handle.

Ask Mr. Know-it-All
DEAR ABBY: When I was a child, my

parents skipped my elementary school
graduation. For that matter, everyone did.
My grandfather had just died, so Mom was
mourning his loss. Fast-forward a few years
-- nobody attended my junior high graduation,
either. Granted, Mom had a couple of stitches in
her nose because my brother had accidentally
hit her with a golf club the week before.
Well, my younger siblings just graduated
from elementary school, and my parents have
again skipped the event due to their work
schedules. A mix of emotions is resurfacing for
me. Im angry and frustrated. Im 26 now, and
a long time has passed since they disappointed
me, but I guess I havent ever truly forgiven
them for missing those events. After all, these
are once-in-a-lifetime milestones for a child,
right?
Am I justified in feeling anger toward my
parents for deciding to miss not only my
graduations, but also those of my younger
siblings? Should I talk to them or let it go? What
can I do? -- RELIVING IT IN CALIFORNIA
DEAR RELIVING IT: How has your
relationship with your parents been otherwise?
If they have always been loving and supportive
in other ways, then perhaps you shouldnt be so
hard on them. When I was young, there were
high school and college graduation ceremonies
with cap, gown and diploma, but none for
children leaving elementary school or junior
high. At most, the event might be celebrated
by going out for a family dinner.
Frankly, I think that multiple graduation
ceremonies -- while they may make cute photoops -- dilute the importance of the one from
high school. If you want to do something,
rather than vent your anger at your parents,
it would be more constructive if you made a
point of attending your siblings graduations in
the future.
DEAR ABBY: Im hoping you can resolve
a disagreement between my wife and me. She
insists on placing knives in the drying rack
with the sharp ends pointing up. I insist this is
a safety issue and the knives should be placed
pointing down (or dried immediately). My wife
counters that this will dull the points and that
drying with a towel will dull the blades. I know
it sounds trivial, but we argue about it every
day. Can you help resolve our disagreement?
-- LOOKING FOR RESOLUTION
DEAR LOOKING: Please stop arguing. I
think the solution would be for your wife to be
the person who puts the knives away.
DEAR ABBY: After some extensive
traveling, I have to ask -- who on earth told
people they look good in skinny jeans? -O.M.G! IN OKLAHOMA
DEAR O.M.G.!: The salesperson.
Is this a once-and-done process, or does the cork

grow back? -- O.H.H., Dover, Del.
A: After it reaches maturity (at least 25 years
old), a cork tree can be
harvested every eight to 14
years. No trees are cut down
in the process of harvesting
cork. The countries that
produce the most cork
include Portugal, Algeria,
Spain, Morocco, France,
Italy and Tunisia.
Q: The 1961 movie
Splendor in the Grass
takes place in Kansas. Im
from Kansas, and I have Natalie Wood
often wondered where
the movie was filmed. -O.R.N., Yuba City, Calif.
A: Splendor in the
Grass, starring Natalie
Wood and Warren Beatty,
was shot in Staten Island,
N.Y. Director Elia Kazan
had planned to film the
movie in Kansas, but the
location was changed due to
a severe drought.
Q: During a guided tour
of France a few years back, Warren Beatty
we went through a village
where we were told Canadian forces from World
War I were buried. I dont remember the town,
but I do remember the cemetery had an unusual
name. Can you help? -- K.G., Elyna, Ohio
A: You were in Miraumont, France, and
visited the Adanac cemetery. Youre right,
the cemeterys name is quite unusual -- its
Canada spelled backward. The village, which
is in northern France, was completely destroyed
between 1914 and 1918 during World War I.
Q: Why are most pencils painted yellow? -G.B.L., Warren, Mich.
A: There are a lot of explanations. Here is
one: A pencil manufacturer painted its product
yellow, and the public liked it because the
color made it easier to locate when misplaced.
A second: In the 1890s, the best graphite in the
world came from China. To indicate that a pencil
had that graphite, it was painted yellow -- the
royal color of China. And one more: An AustriaHungary company introduced an expensive,
yellow pencil named after a famous yellow
diamond, Koh-I-Noor. Other manufacturers
copied the yellow color so their products would
be associated with this high-quality brand.

Blood
(Continued from page 1)
Cook collected blood evidence and is

preparing to submit it to Ohio Bureau of
Criminal Identification and Investigation
(BCI) in Bowling Green this week. He
said if the individual has a record, they will
find out who it is by matching them in the
FBIs Laboratorys Combined DNA Index
System (CODIS).
Cook also reported a few incidents
that occurred which were related to
Summerfest. He said due to the electrical
outage, there were no street lights downtown and officers sent teenagers at the
carnival home. A parent confronted officers
about sending the kids home, would not
identify himself, became belligerent and
was arrested.
He has been charged with resisting
arrest, obstructing official police business
and failure to identify oneself, Cook
detailed.
There were also several altercations
during the festivities at the adult beverage
tent on Friday and Saturday.
Cook then requested a meeting with the
Summerfest Committee, the fire department and himself to discuss moving the
festival from the downtown area to the
Wisher Drive area.
Downtown is not benefiting from this
carnival and it is isolating some of the businesses, Cook said. Moving it would centralize everything, including the fireworks.
It would be easier to patrol, there is more
parking and it would alleviate a lot of stress
on everybody.
He also said re-routing truck traffic
to Canal Street creates a tremendous risk
of having a serious accident on the street
where semis cannot easily pass each other
due to the narrow roadway.
Village Administrator Sean Chapman
reported to council the source supplying
most of the power for the entertainment
downtown for Summerfest failed on both
Friday and Saturday nights of the celebration.
The failure occurred on American
Electric Powers (AEP) pole when the
cut-out fuse dropped out due to its inability
to provide the feed necessary to meet the
Elida
demand of the festival, he detailed.

In 2009, the village spent close to
$50,000 on electrical upgrades, specifically
for Summerfest. At that time, AEP was
made aware of the fact that the villages
main panel was being upgraded from 200
amps to 400 amps. Chapman said AEP
failed to ensure their feed was sufficient to
meet the proposed demand and as a result,
the village has experienced power outages
during the past three festivals.
Since the latest round of outages,
Chapman has spoken with AEP representatives who are working to resolve the power
supply issues. He said the plan is to change
and upgrade and possibly install a parallel
feed to ensure that the proper supply is getting to the panel.
Chapman also updated council on the
progress of the Water Treatment Plant and
said the nanofiltration skid and the Clean-In
Place skid have been delivered and placed.
Piping and electrical connections
began immediately after the units were
placed in their final positions, he said.
Industrial Fluid Management (IFM)
has scheduled more materials piping,
valves, control panels, etc. to be delivered to the site. Kirk Bothers has complete
the last section of sidewalk on the exterior and the new natural gas line has been
installed.
They are now able to finish the siding and the trim work on the building,
Chapman explained. They have also started the piping that will connect the filters to
the nanofiltration skid.
The only site work needed to be completed is minor grade work and the outer
fence. Painting of the interior block walls
will commence when they dry out, he
said. Delivery of the lab cabinetry is
scheduled for the last week of July.
The goal is for everything to be ready
by the end of July, so the initial start-up and
testing of the new system can begin. As of
now, the plant is scheduled to go live in
September.
Its moving along very well and I dont
see any setbacks, he said. We plan on
having an open house this winter or next
spring.
He also reported that the village has suf-
The recommendations included planning for a variety

of trees in order to promote beauty and to insure against
the loss of a particular species.
Miller also provided an urban site index inventory
sheet and a list of Ohio trees by size and site hardiness,
which can be used for Main Street and for planning in
the future. She also provided some information from the
fered 38 water leaks in the system this year.

Looking back at a calendar from 1992, he
said he had seven leaks to contend with that
whole year.
Since we have repaired most of the
water leaks, we have decreased our water
useage from upwards of 250,000 gallons
of water per month to 150,000 gallons of
water per month, Chapman said.
Chapman thanked his crew for the
wonderful job of prepping for and working
on a water leak the village suffered during
Summerfest.
Each year, there seems to be more
responsibilities given to us in preparation
for the event and we continually find a way
to get them all completed, he said.
In addition, Chapman said he received
the pollution prevention plan from Beth
Seibert of the Soil and Water Conservation
District (SWCD), which is for the proposed
canal trail project which is scheduled to be
constructed along the west canal bank from
the south corporation limit to the north
corporation limit, minus the two-block area
between Second and Fourth streets.
The Storm Water Pollution Prevention
Plan (SWP3) will be submitted to the
Ohio Environmental Protection Agency
(OEPA), along with a Notice of Intent
form, so they can review the project and
ensure that it is compliant with their storm
water management practices, he said.
Council members approved a resolution authorizing the Allen County
Commissioners to accept the proposal and
enter into contract with Bluffton Paving
for the 2014 County Road Program.
Mayor P. J. Johnson said the estimate
came in higher than expected which will
increase the road construction costs somewhat.
Council also approved to adopt the
villages Tax Budget for 2015.
We had a meeting earlier this evening
and adopted the new tax budget, Johnson
said.
Income Tax Administrator Dawn
Bailey said the tax budget is the fund that
receives property tax and they have to give
the county an idea of how it will be spent.
The next council meeting will be held
at 7 p.m. in council chambers on July 21.
ODNR titled The perils of planting trees too deeply.

The tree commission invited Miller to attend another
meeting in the fall to do an assessment of the trees in the
tree lawn throughout the village and help in establishing
a tree plan. There will be no cost to the village for her
services.
Mayor Kim Hardy read a letter to the council from
Marv Adams asking to resign as a village council member.
No further facts were given.
Taylor
Ferruso listed many benefits small businesses have seen with the current
administration, including the lowest unemployment in six years; a focus on
work development projects; an effort to bring technical and vocational schools
and community colleges in sync with the business community; a reduction in
personal income tax so more money can be reinvested in businesses; pass
through business deductions; and Taylors Common Sense Initiative which
requires business impact analysis of regulations.
We have taken a state with less than a dollar in the Rainy Day Fund and
we now have $1.5 billion surplus and our credit outlook has improved with no
out-of-control spending, Taylor said. We didnt raise taxes and we are more
efficient and have created an economic climate for businesses to grow.
Sanchez said her business was bouncing back and she had the confidence to
hire more employees, if needed.
Our business shows the signs of an economic recovery pretty quickly,
Sanchez said. We have one of the basics everyone needs.
Taylor closed the press conferences, thanking Sanchez for her hospitality
and the local business for their vote of confidence in her and the governor.
Small business is the engine of the economy. Ohio is more responsive than ever
to the needs of businesses, Taylor said. Were on track and need to keep pushing.
Council
Coleman said water meters have

all been read for the July billing and
council will need to decide how the
next readings are done.
We finished these readings with
the youth workers we had from Van
Wert County, he said. We wont
have those guys for the next one and if
we take workers from the maintenance
department, well have less time to do
what were already behind in doing.
Mayor Michael Gallmeier presented a water/sewer adjustment issue to
council in new business.
We have a landlord on King Street
who had a break in a water line and
his tenants didnt notify him and he
has a $17,000 bill, Gallmeier said.
We already forgave a $3,000 bill for
this particular customer with the last
eight quarters, which would normally
preclude another credit according to
policy. I just want council to give me
some guidance on this.
Councilman Del Kemper asked
how it would take to accumulate a
bill like that and be unaware of it happening.
The landlord did not know how
long it had been leaking, Gallmeier
said. The request also doesnt say
where the leak is in the line. A neighbor reported that there was water in the
adjacent yard and it was coming onto
their property.
Councilman Joe Martz was reluctant to approve the credit.
I dont think this guy is being a
good steward of his property, Martz
said.
Kemper agreed and was also wary to
address the issue at the present time.
Im not doing anything about this
today, Kemper said.
Jettinghoff suggested council may
need to revisit the policy and address
the amount allowable for credit as well
as the time frame in which a credit can
occur if one has already been granted.
Several councilmen asked for
more information on how credits were
given in the past and to what extent.
Gallmeier said he would have that
information ready for the next council
meeting.
Council approved July 23 at
Appreciation Day with free admittance to the Delphos Municipal
Swimming Pool from noon to 5 p.m.
that day. The pool will then be closed
from 5-6 p.m. and the private Beyond
Expectations swim will be held from
6-8 p.m.
Council passed on third reading
the East Second Street Paving Project.
The city received Ohio Public Works
Commission funds totaling $151,006
with city providing $37,751 toward
the project. The Shelly Company was
the successful bidder. The paving will
be done from Main to Doulgas streets.
Council heard on first reading a
pair of ordinances securing the services of the Allen County Engineers
Office for tar and chipping on South
Bredeick from the railroad tracks to
Clime Street, Bank Street and Maple
Street from Second to Fifth streets for
$32,000; and $5,800 for painting and
striping various streets.

Robbin Watson was forced to

give up screen time with the home
crowd when her laptop was damaged during a semester in Italy six
years ago, when she was 19.
I was devastated at first, wondering to myself, How will I
know whats going on at home?
How will I Skype my friends?
she recalled.
But as time went on, her
experience in Rome drastically
changed. I began to go out more,
no longer running home from
class to hop online. I no longer
thought about what was going on
at college and soon, I began to not
even care.
Looking back, shes grateful that her laptop was damaged.
Her advice for semester abroad:
Get rid of your smartphone. The
whole point of studying abroad
is to immerse yourself in the culture, the people, the language.
Once you have Skype, Facebook
and constant calls from parents, I
think it really takes away from the
experience and becomes a huge
distraction.
Staying in touch is important
to Daniele Weiss, 19, a New York
University student who spent
spring semester in Florence and
is now in Israel for the summer.
My mom needs to hear from me
every night before I go to sleep,
she said.
From Italy, six hours ahead
of her parents, shed call in the
morning before her dad went to
work, and then text throughout the
day. She said most of her fellow
American students also stayed
in contact with everybody from
home. It was very comfortable
and so easy. Its not like I felt like
I was missing out on the immersion. But I wanted to share things
with my mom.
