2016 Budget shows

deficit spending
BY NANCY SPENCER
DHI Media Editor
nspencer@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS The proposed 2016

Budget for the City of Delphos shows more
than $400,000 of deficit spending.
According to Delphos City Auditor
Tom Jettinghoff, his projections show flat
revenues with an increase of 3 percent
on expenditures in line with the annual
Consumer Price Index increase.
I dont know that well see any more
revenue next year than what is projected
for this year, so I kept those lines flat
except the general property tax line, which
we should see an increase from the new
property valuations, Jettinghoff said. We
are going to be asking for a little more
from the county next year out of what they
collect for us.
A $120,000 increase was shown in
the capital outlay line with additional
funds being set aside for a police cruiser
and building improvements at the safe

ty service building on Second Street.
Firefighter turnout gear is a steady at
$20,000.
The budget needs to be presented to the
county auditors office before July 15.
Safety Service Director Shane Coleman
informed council the Delphos Municipal
Swimming Pool will not open Saturday for
Memorial Day Weekend.
Parks and Rec Superintendent Craig
Mansfield told Coleman the water tempera
ture is not warm enough for swimming and
forecasted temperatures for the rest of the
week will not change that.
Its just not going to be warm enough
during the day and especially at night to
get the water temperature up where it needs
to be, Coleman said. We will open for
the season on May 30. Presale will still
be available at the city building until that
date.
See BUDGET, page 12
The Delphos Municipal Swimming Pool will remain closed this weekend due to cold
water temperature and a cooler forecast for the next week. Pre-sale tickets remain
available at the city building. Presale prices are: single $60; family $170; and over
55 $50. Regular prices effective June 1: single $80; family $190; and over 55
$70. Applications can be obtained at the Municipal Building or on the citys website at
cityofdelphos.com. Applications can be mailed in but have to be received no later than
May 28 in order to get the pre-sale rates. To purchase a family pass you must bring or
attach a copy of your 2014 federal income tax form to show proof of dependents. The
tentative dates for the season are noon to 8 p.m. May 30 through Aug. 23.
Ottoville council
hears new junk

OTTOVILLE The first reading of a new ordinance affect

ing junk vehicles left one Ottoville resident shaking his head.
The draft ordinance, presented to members of Ottovilles
village council during their meeting Monday night, initially
imposed minor misdemeanor charges on violators. Subsequent
discussion about this aspect of the asyet unfinished ordinance
changed the penalty to a finebased system before initiating
court action.
Matt Fiedler, who was present for the duration of the meeting,
afterward expressed unsurprised disdain for the proceedings and
the belief that he was the immediate target of the ordinance.
He explained that several unlicensed, but operational vehicles
stored on his property have proven the source of more than one
confrontation with local law enforcement.
See JUNK, page 12
Streets, power focus during

Jennings council meeting
FORT JENNINGS Electricity and
infrastructure issues dominated Tuesdays
meeting of the Fort Jennings Village Council.
With electricity aggregation imminently
online within the village limits, Mayor Jim
Smith advised council that residents with
questions about how the service operates,
whether or not they are enrolled, how to opt
out of current provider contracts or any other
concerns can now call a tollfree number spe
cific to Fort Jennings. Smith reported that the
number 18554183422 is in operation
24 hours per day, seven days per week.
This number is there for all our res
idents, Smith explained. They can call
anytime and you can enroll over the phone.
The condition of First, Second and Main
streets was then addressed. Smith expressed
a desire to have all three streets assessed and
determine how much repair is necessary.
Second Streets bad, First Streets bad
and Main is just really getting rough, he
opined. Its the trucks. Its the trucks and the
tractors at the elevator.
While the engineering firm Poggemeier

Design Group did offer to provide their
professional opinion of the condition of all
three streets, Smith was hesitant, remarking
that theyre going to want money to do
that. Instead, he expressed his hope to find
a contractor willing to provide a professional
opinion and a rough estimate on the costs
of repair. With those figures, he could then
return to council and seek a course of action,
whether that be an overlay or a complete
overhaul.
Council also opted to secure funding for
cleaning up the park side of the river bank,
appropriating as much as $2,000 to trim brush
back on both sides of the bridge and then
to the bend in the river or, if possible, from
bridge to bridge.
Finally, council discussed the possibility
of establishing a community reinvestment
area within the village. Through CRAs, both
commercial and residential builders and ren
ovators receive financial support from the
State of Ohio to assist in the completion of
their projects. Smith advised council that
he will contact Putnam County Community
Improvement Corporation Director Curt
Croy for more information.
BCI investigating local business

On Tuesday, Agents from the Ohio Attorney Generals investigative arm, the Bureau of
Criminal Investigation, seized documents and electronics from the offices of Edelbrock
- Reitz, LLC, in Delphos. With agents in the building, Jennifer Ann Edelbrock, principal
with the company, confirmed that BCI is investigating the companys activities. BCI agents
were unavailable for comment. (DHI Media/Nancy Spencer)

Local/State
DeWine announces crackdown
on four cancer charities
INFORMATION
SUBMITTED
COLUMBUS Ohio
Attorney General Mike
DeWine, along with law
enforcement partners in all
50 states, the District of
Columbia, and the Federal
Trade Commission, filed
a federal lawsuit Tuesday
against four cancer charities and their operators
for allegedly bilking more
than $187 million from
consumers throughout the
country.
The joint complaint
alleges that the Cancer Fund
of America, Cancer Support
Services, Childrens Cancer
Fund of America, and The
Breast Cancer Society are
sham charities created by
James Reynolds Sr. and his
extended family and friends
primarily for their own benefit.
Two of the four charities
Childrens Cancer Fund
of America and The Breast
Cancer Society have
agreed to dissolve under
proposed settlements also
filed Tuesday.
According to the complaint, the defendants used
telemarketing calls, direct
mail, and websites to portray
the organizations as legitimate charities that provided direct support to cancer
patients by providing pain

medication, transportation to
chemotherapy, hospice care,
or other services. However,
the complaint alleges that
the majority of donations
were used primarily to benefit the people who ran the
charities, their family and
friends, and
their fundr a i s e r s
(not cancer
patients).
At every
turn,
the
individuals behind
this scheme
put themselves and
their money
ahead
of
the
cancer patients they claimed
to help, Attorney General
DeWine said. Using cancer
patients as a stepping stone
to build a personal fortune
is just terrible. Its also a
reminder that just because a
charity sounds well-meaning
doesnt mean that it is.
The defendants allegedly used the organizations as
sources of lucrative employment for family members and
friends, and spent consumer
donations on cars, trips, luxury cruises, college tuition,
gym memberships, jet-ski
outings, dating site memberships, and sporting event and

concert tickets. They hired
professional fundraisers who
often received 85 percent or
more of every donation.
The complaint alleges
that to hide their high administrative and fundraising
costs from
donors and
regulators
the defendants falsely inflated
their revenues
by
reporting
in publicly
filed
financial
documents
over $223
million
in donated gifts in kind
which they claimed to distribute to international recipients. In fact, the defendants
were merely pass-through
agents for such goods. By
reporting the inflated gift
in kind donations, they created the illusion that they
were larger and more efficient with donors dollars
than they actually were.
In the complaint, filed
with the U.S. District Court
for the District of Arizona,
the FTC and the states
charge the defendants with
misrepresenting how contributions would be used;

misrepresenting specific
program benefits; misrepresenting revenue and program
expenses related to international gifts-in-kind; and misrepresenting that the primary
focus of their reported programs was to provide direct
assistance to individuals in
the United States.
Five of the eight defendants named in the complaint have agreed to settlements, which have been
submitted to the court for
approval.
Under the proposed settlements, Childrens Cancer
Fund of America and The
Breast Cancer Society will
dissolve and their assets will
be liquidated.
Additionally, the following three individual
defendants have agreed not
to hold a position in any
charity in the future: Kyle
Effler, the former president
of Cancer Support Services;
Rose Perkins, the president
and executive director of
Childrens Cancer Fund
of America; and James
Reynolds II, executive
director and former president of The Breast Cancer
Society.

Teaching physics to middle school students may be a

key component in fulfilling
the countys workforce needs.
Ukranian
physicist
Anatoliy Glushchenko and
author Mark Lautman visited science instructors, curriculum directors and principals at Lincolnview and
Crestview schools on Friday
to talk with district leaders
about introducing the Middle
School Physics curriculum to
their districts.
The program is designed
to ignite students critical
thinking skills and spur interest in science and engineering careers. Developers of
the Middle School Physics
program believe introducing
students in the sixth, seventh,
and eighth grade to physics
the science that leads to
all other sciences, according
to Glushchenko allows the
deepest understanding of how
the world around us works,
and develops a foundation for
strong analytical and research
skills.
Middle School Physics
moves the needle, said
Lautman, who noted Van
Wert County has experienced
four consecutive decades of
decreasing population. This
type of program provides the
ability to attract talent, keeps
people from leaving and
the students are cognitively
trained going into the local

Local instructors are provided with online support,
detailed lesson plans and
assessment tools. The physics
lessons are incorporated into
science standards set by the
state and the cost of materials is minimal, Glushchenko
said.
In every lesson we want
to create something the student will never forget,
Glushchenko said.
Lincolnview, Crestview
and Delphos City Schools are
interested in bringing Middle
School Physics to their districts for the 2015-16 school
year. Funding for the $50,000
program is being sought by
Van Wert County Economic

Middle School Physics
is currently operating in 20
school districts in Colorado

local districts would be the
first in the Midwest to implement the course of study.
The middle school curriculum was created in by

ESSAYS
Be Kind
Jill Gemmer
Division 2 Grade 7
You know those people
who sit and stare? The ones
who always do everything
and go everywhere together?
Those people who make fun
of you for absolutely everything you do? I have a hard
time thinking this is being a
good neighbor. Why do they
do hurtful things to others?
This inconsiderate behavior
can have long lasting consequences to the victim.
Low self-esteem and
self-image can cause anxiety
and depression. Statistics say
that 1 of 3 people have emotional behavior problems
related to low self-esteem.
Can you image being partially responsible for someones
suicide because of your
words or actions?
Why sit and watch people
hurt others, not physically,
but emotionally? Stand up,
be proud of who you are and
your friends. Most importantly, do not be mean to those
inconsiderate people. Be
kind! Treat them with kindness. Reach out to them with
a smile. Listen to what they
are really saying. Jealousy,
low self-esteem, sadness, and
anger can be demonstrated
by being unkind to others.
Sometimes people are jealous
of your life. They believe
your life is better or easier.
Other people are not always
as fortunate. We all walk
through very rough times.
Everyone has adversity in
their life and face challenges.
Encourage others at all times,
not just when they are in the
eye of the storm.
As humans, we do not
always know why we are
acting out, or why we are
feeling angry. Human behavior requires self-reflection.
We have to take a honest
look at why we are upset.
In my own life, I needed
help understanding that after
three of my grandparents
died in six months, that I
was afraid. I was afraid that
everyone I ever loved was
going to leave me. I cried
often and refused to go to
school. I needed help from
someone else to identify that
feeling. I did not have the
words to express my fears.
Helping others does not
require money or gifts.
Perhaps it is inviting a
person to sit with you at
lunch or an athletic event.
Kindness can be a word or
encouragement, a smile, a
recognition for a talent or job
well done. Kindness is being
honest. Leading by example,
demonstrating manners and
proper behavior are just as
important and kind as gifts.
Kindness is reporting bullying, abuse, neglect or suicidal thoughts to an adult. It is
not a sign of weakness to ask
for help.
Are you proud of the person you are presently? Are
you respectful, honest and
kind? Are you doing the will
of God by loving one another? We can all do better.
Beautiful is on the inside,
not the outside. Be proud
of who you are. Do not sit
and watch idly, while others are being criticized and
disrespected. Stand up for
others and what we believe.
Remember to consider what
God would want you to do.
Be honest, kind and respectful. Be true to who you are
and treat others with kindness. Be the best possible
neighbor to everyone!
Be a Good Neighbor
Caitlin Gordon
Division 1 Grade 5
Jesus teaches us how
to be a good neighbor. He
guides us to do nice things.
He also tells us in the Bible
it is important to be a good
neighbor, give money to the
poor, and to visit the sick
and lonely. Everyone should
learn from Jesus example.
sos hair. It looks really bad

today. That would be really
rude and is not how Jesus
taught us to act. Especially if
that person heard me. Then
say I didnt and I noticed
so-and-sos shoes and I liked
them. Maybe I whispered to a
friend Oh so-and-so look at
so-and-sos shoes. They are
so cool. Its ok for me to tell
a friend, but I would really
tell that to the person.
Another way I can be
a good neighbor is to put
money in the missions. By
doing this I am helping my
neighbors in Africa and other
places around the world. Five
dollars of mission money
could help build a house for
the poor or buy food for a
family in Africa. If I never
ever put money in the missions then more people may
starve. No matter how much
money you put in, even a
penny, it makes a difference.
One simple but effective
way I can be a good neighbor
is just to be kind to others. If
I pass someone at school, I
smile at them. I could offer
to help a younger kid tie a
shoe or get them a ball across
a street. Help a classmate
study for a test. These are all
simple ways of being a good
neighbor.
Being a good neighbor is
important. It helps us live a
good, happy life. Anyone can
be a good neighbor without
realizing it. The ways to be a
good neighbor I wrote about
arent the only ones. There
are so many more. Hundreds,
thousands, millions even, but
they and all the other acts will
lead me to Heaven.
Are You a Good Neighbor?

Allison Miller
Division 2 Grade 7
When we first got the topics I knew immediately, I
wanted to choose the Be a
Good Neighbor topic. One
of the reasons I wanted to
choose this topic is because of
the service I do, I also wanted
to do this topic because of
what it means to me. This
topic is something many of
us take for granted like when
someone opens up a door for
you that is a neighborly service. So read this to see if you
are a good neighbor.
People should do what they

can and be a good neighbor.
I am 10 years old and I can
be a good neighbor. If I see
someone alone, my friends
and I will play with them.
It is important to include
everybody. Another way you
can be a good neighbor is
to give money to the poor. I
can do this by giving money
in the mission banks. Also I
can clean out my closet and
pick out the toys I dont want
to play with, and give them
to the Thrift Shop. I can also
give food to the pantry to
help those in need. Another
way to show Jesus love is to
visit the lonely. I can go to
my Grandparents neighbor
who lives alone; I make her
cookies, and visit her. This
will make her less lonely.
Its important to follow
the example of Jesus, Jesus
loves and forgave everyone.
He was the best neighbor. He
shows Gods love. Learning
about Jesus brings us closer to God. Following Jesus
example of how to be a good
neighbor will help us go to
heaven.
No matter what my age is
theres always a way for me
to be a good neighbor. I dont
wait for someone else to do
well. I am a good leader for my
friends so they will do well too.
I can teach others to be Christlike through my example. I am
a good neighbor.
Adam Fuerst
Division 1 Grade 5
What would happen if a
girl my age sat alone on the
play ground crying? I hardly
know her but, I walk over to
her and try to comfort her.
What does this mean? Does
it mean I am going wildly
insane? No, it means I am a
good neighbor.
A good neighbor is someone who cares. They live how
Jesus wants us to live. They
help those in need. We cant
do these every second of
every day, no one is perfect,
no one can be a perfect good
neighbor all day everyday.
Even though no one is perfect we are still called to be a
good neighbor.
Dont talk about someone
behind their back. Its rude
and not a good neighborly
thing to do. If I said, Oh,
so-and-so-look at so-and-
Putnam students show at State Science Fair

On Saturday, State Science Day was held in Columbus at The Ohio State
University. More than 1,100 students participated in the event which included

The Wildcats had the same goal to

stay sharp for their District semifinal
Wednesday versus Leipsic at Elidas Ed
Sandy Memorial Field.
Oh, another thing: a chance to sweep
to their second straight PCL title and
third overall (tied with Columbus Grove
in 2013).
Mission accomplished as the Wildcats
(23-2, 7-0 PCL) did just that with an
11-1 5-inning victory.
Were not one to decide not to play a
scheduled game when we are out of the
tourney, especially losing to this team
less than a week ago. We have no problem giving Miller City another game
to get ready for their next tournament
game, Musketeer coach Eric Schwab
explained. As well, we wanted to mix
in some younger kids in different spots
to get a jump on the summer. We didnt
want to use four pitchers we want to
see what Austin (Luebrecht) could give
us because he did a nice job against
Kalida of keeping them off-balance
but they were starting to tag him and we
didnt have a choice.
The Blue and Gold got on board in
the top of the first against Luebrecht on
a 1-out knock to left (Hunter Berner), a
wild pitch and a 2-out error on an Adam
Drummelsmith pop-up.
The visitors made it 4-0 in their half
of the second on a pair of free passes
(Ross Lehman and Jeremy Balbaugh)
sandwiched around a double by Logan
Dukes, a sacrifice fly by Lammers
(Lehman), an error, a balk that plated Dukes and a run-scoring single by

The Lady Pirates (10-9,

Continental sent 10 batters to the dish in its half of the
frame against reliever Breana Bowersox. They had four hits:
with RBI knocks by Alivia Homier, Troyer and Weller. They
also had three free passes and a hit batter (Mansfield). Two
wild pitches (the second combined with an error) plated three
runs.
The home team added its final four in the fourth on four
hits, including a 3-run 3-baser by Scott.

Musings
After all, Brady appears
to be ready to have his day in
court with the NFL he does
not like the fact that Goodell
is not appointing an arbitrator to hear his NFL appeal
and may actually be called
to testify in court should
that step be needed and if
you truly believe your guy is
innocent, would you not be
backing him every way you
know how, including joining
in such a process fully?
The thing is to me, Brady
and Belichick seem awfully
quiet but there may be legal
reasons and just smarts
that is so.
Mr. Bill definitely will
never win Mr. Congeniality
and Brady was not exactly
forthcoming in the investigation. Perhaps he was well
within his rights but to the
Commish, he may have let
that attitude give him a little more incentive to punish
more harshly.
Or is there another hand
I know that makes three
but whos counting? that
reminds Kraft that he and
his 31 fellow owners in
the most recent Collective

Bargaining Agreement
willfully gave the commissioner extraordinary powers
and a lot of discretion as to
what he defines as the good
of the game?
After all, isnt that one
of the reasons that the
Commissioners office
first in Major League Baseball
after the scandal of the Black
Sox to deal with the fallout
was first established in major
pro sports?
In other words, is he afraid
to admit that maybe, the 32
guys and ownership teams
made a mistake in doing so,
in hiring this guy or whatever?
Im not writing they
did, even though it seems
Goodells tenure has been
most definitely not smooth.
Perhaps that is due to the
neglect of previous commissioners and owners in letting
the game get too big for its
britches and its all coming
down on him like the proverbial ton of bricks.
Soap operas have nothing
on real life, do they?
In the end, I think the consensus is the 4-game suspension will be reduced to two.

Loving, kind, and compassionate, those are just some of the
words that describe a good neighbor. When you are a good neighbor, you do things out of the kindness of your heart, not because
your parents tell you to, to get money, or because it is a chore.
Many times elderly people need service, so if they are your neighbors or live near you, go to their house every once and a while and
see if they need help.
You can give and receive neighborly service. When you bake/
cook if you have extra food and/or desserts, you can offer some to
your neighbors if they are in need. You can also go out of your way
to do deeds for your neighbor, like if your neighbor has papers or
groceries in their hands open the door for them. It is as simple as
that!
Many things I do in my life involve service and neighborly acts.
My favorite act of service was the Laborers R Us at the Trinity
United Methodist Church. Laborers R Us is a service day when
people from the church write down acts of service they would like
done on a little slip of paper. The day starts with breakfast pizza
and prayer. Then the volunteers review the requests of service and
divide them up. We then pray for God to watch over us as we help
others.
At the first house, we washed windows and raked leaves. The
next couple of houses were mostly the same things but they also
included cleaning gutters, painting porches, and weeding flower
beds. The one service paper, instead of raking leaves, cleaning
gutters, and washing windows. just wanted someone to visit them.
Service comes in all forms. After all the service projects were
complete, the groups got back together and discussed their projects
and those they had helped. All agreed it was a great act of service.
It means a lot to me that my JCDA group and I had a chance to
participate in this service project. We met people that needed help
and it felt good that we were able to help them. It helped to open
my eyes and see how much people help me and how much I help
them. I see now that just like people open the door for me, something as simple as that can make someones day.
We Are the Children of God
Caroline Kopack
Division 2 Grade 8
Every human being was created in the image and likeness of
God: we are His people and His children. When we look at each
other, we need each other as equals worthy of respect, instead of
constantly fighting each other. Jesus said, Whatever you do to the
least of my people, you do unto me. We are all the chosen people
of God, and we need to remember that in our daily interactions
with our neighbors.
Im a big believer in karma. If we treat our neighbors the way
we want to be treated, the rest of the world is compelled to treat
us the same way. Loving your neighbor as yourself is our job as
Christians. But, a big part of that is respect. We are all created in
Gods image, and we need to respect our human dignity.
Another important point to consider is rather simple: Jesus is no
longer here on earth in a physical form. However, he gave us the
Ten Commandments and the Beatitudes to live by. Jesus Christ no
longer has a corporal form, but we do. We can be Jesus hands and
feet on earth, helping those who need our assistance in the world
as we are called to do.
But of course, there are a few questions that need an answer.
For instance: Who is my neighbor? The answer is rather straight-

forward: everyone. Not just the person who lives next door or the
person sitting next to you in your homeroom class. Everyone. That
includes your family, friends, parish, and community. Including the
people you hate. Especially them. Jesus said to love your enemies
and pray for your persecutors. Our Christian faith is the underlying
force in all nations, races, and languages. It is the primary force that
unites us all under God as his people and his Church.
Another question is also rather common, but easy to answer.
How can I help my neighbors? The possibilities are endless. As
I mentioned before, the people are the world are your neighbors.
The ways that you can help them are numerous and varied as they
are. You could donate to CRS Rice Bowl, a charity that feeds and
provides for people in third-world countries and other struggling
places. They will give money and build shelters for people in
places that have been devastated by hunger, poverty, or natural
disasters. You could donate food to your local food bank, or donate
your unused clothes to Salvation Army. And you dont even need
to go out and do huge acts of service. Performing random acts of
kindness work just as well.
Loving your neighbor as yourself is hard work. But, by putting
our trust in God, it can be accomplished. So, Id like to close with
the following: Loving someone as yourself means being there for
each other when we fall, so we can pick each other back up again.
Neighborly Thing to Do
Elizabeth Winhover
Division 3 Grade 12
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life
for his friends (John 15:13).
Lets make one thing very clear I am not giving up my life
for you. Ever. Sure, I might consider taking a bullet for you. But
only as long as its a fleshy, non-life threatening area. Vital organs
are a deal breaker. My idea of neighborly action when chivalrous
deeds are involved, fall under the category of service.
The second greatest commandment orders us to love our neighbors as our self. So, in that case, prepare yourself for some very
intense peanut butter and banana sandwiches, because that is where
its at. Also, I wont discard the notion of sharing my PlayStation
with you. But wash your hands after eating the sandwich. I dont
enjoy sticky remotes.
My man Jesus also has some words on whos going to make the
cut. Everyone, apparently, gets a golden ticket on Cloud Express.
Therefore, I wont turn you away. Even if youre a Freshman, I
wont cut you all the way down to your quaking, new school shoes.
The same goes for that girl whos always tripping in the hallway.
Ill bite my klutz comments and help her with the spilled books. If
were all going to be together for eternity, we might as well help
each other out.
And apparently theres a line in Matthew that goes, But I say
to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to
those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and
persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for
He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain
on the just and on the unjust. Once again Jesus speaks the truth,
which means I have some making up to do. The next chance I
get, Im telling Robby that this feud going back to the 3rd grade
needs to stop. At least its stopping on my end. Since its miserable
enough getting rained on, we might as well endure the experience
on more amicable terms. Or, at the least, in a reduced hostility.
I guess it says in Jesuss biography that Im not supposed to take
out my anger on anyone. Revenge is apparently not allowed on my
checklist. So I guess Ill be returning all the water balloons I bought
to repay my sisters very colorful prank.
But in the end these things will make me a better person. Sure,
I might have to spend some time in the hospital after taking a life
threatening (but not ending!) injury. And there might be some
spontaneous service, but thats good for the soul anyway. And making an extra sandwich? I can do that. Its the embracing everyone
mentality that Im not too jacked about. However, being a good
neighbor isnt for the faint of heart. The title is a package deal. And
I think Im up for the challenge.
How to be a Good Neighbor
J.J. Bonifas
Division 1 Grade 5
Have you ever wondered how good it feels to help people? It
feels so good that I just want to keep on doing it! In order to be a
good neighbor, you can check on them when they are sick, get their
mail for them if they need help, or just be there when they need
you. I hope that I am always a good neighbor to everybody.
To me, being a good neighbor is more than just saying Hi to
them. Being a good neighbor means helping them before they even
know they need help. My next-door neighbor, Ted, was always
such a good neighbor to me. And I hope I was a good neighbor to
him too. There was this one time that I went over to Teds house
just to see how he was feeling. I went for a ride on his golf cart and
helped him pick up sticks. I also went fishing with him. We did so
much more than just pick up sticks and go fishing with him. We
spent time together. Being a good neighbor is taking time out of
your day to show someone you care!
Ted and I laughed together, we listened to each others stories,
he let me drive the golf cart (which was really fun), and I spent time
with him. We did so much more than pick up sticks, he became my
friend and I became his. Being a good neighbor is treating everyone
like theyre your friends. I am so glad that I got to spend time with
Ted that summer because he passed away shortly after that. I was
really sad that day. I really miss going fishing and driving the golf
cart with him. But most of all I miss my good neighbor.
Being a good neighbor means taking time to do kind things for
others. Whether it is for your neighbor next door, or your friend
across town, or a stranger you have never met. Treat everyone the
way God would want you to. I thank God every day that I had a
good neighbor like Ted. We should all take a lesson from Ted and
show kindness to others, and be a good neighbor!
POETRY
Love Your Neighbor
as Yourself
Evan Mohler
Division 3 Grade 11
To love your neighbor as yourself
Is the most important rule above everything else
Since Jesus loves you everyday
Why not treat your neighbor the same way?
By simply caring for your neighbor
You can enjoy all the fruits of Gods labor
When Jesus was put through the biggest fight
He thought of you and made everything right
Be a Good Neighbor
Doris Lindeman
Division 4
Neighbor is a word with a pleasing sound
East, west, north, and south, which is
where your neighbors are found
If times get tough, and you need a hand
Graciously accept help from next door, or another land
Having a neighbor standing at your side
Brings a smile to your face you just cant hide
Only a neighbor who loves God, and who is caring and kind
Rings true when you find yourself in a bind
Respect One Another

Connor Britt
Division 3 Grade 11
Respect the people surrounding you
Encouragement inspires a sense of renew.
Show understanding when all hope seems lost
Protect others feelings at any cost.
Empathy towards another can go a long way
Communities would thrive if we held bitterness at bay.
Trust in one another, as you trust in God from above
Respect is the key to a world full of love.
A kind Word
Alaina Buettner
Division 3 Grade 12
A kind word, a heartfelt deed,
Can mean so much to those in need.
Reach out to someone, and let them know you care,
And if theyre in trouble you will always be there.
Life is about living and loving and cheer,
And caring for others in times of despair.
If you live by this rule and spread kindness and love,
All the blessings you need will come from above.
A Loving Neighbor
Tony Sanders
Division 2 Grade 8
A good neighbor is more than a friend
Someone who will always be there until the end
They will greet you with a friendly wave each day
And will water your flowers in the month of May
We talk to each other and we borrow and lend
Such treasures they are my neighbors and friends
Take care of your neighbors with kindness and care
Show them respect with a loving prayer.
A Good Neighbor
Victoria Stemen
Division 1 Grade 4
When in need I lend a hand.
I always try to listen and understand.
During fights I try to break it.
Then I try to prevent it.
Sometimes others will hurt you.
But you must forgive and start over new.
Love your neighbors as yourself.
Then I will never be my myself.
Being a Good Neighbor

Nickolas Ditto
Division 2 Grade 7
Being a good neighbor is to be loving and kind
This can be very hard not to lose your mind
But as soon as you find the love and compassion
You will be loving in a great fashion
You could be helping neighbors here and there
Before you realize youll be helping neighbors everywhere
If it gets tough talk to God and pray
Just follow your heart and youll be okay
Do You Know How To Be A Good Neighbor?
Noah Heiing
Division 2 Grade 7
In the winter you can shovel snow
In the summer you can mow
In the fall you can rake the leaves
In the spring plant flowers that will please
There are many things a person can do
But it has to start with you
Be a good neighbor
And start doing them some favors.
Wonderful Neighbor
Nicole Pohlman
Division 1 Grade 5
Here are some ways to be a wonderful neighbor.
Be nice, but put in some labor.
Try to help your neighbor out.
Thats what being a good neighbor is all about.
So be a generous, kind, and caring neighbor every day.
Just as Jesus showed us the way.
Theres one more thing I have to say.
Be a wonderful neighbor starting today!
The Golden Way of Life
Adara Fuerst
Division 1 Grade 5
Love is the key,
To the true me.
Do not become blind,
Because of hate you may find.
See God in all you meet,
Near home or on the street.
Most important you see,
I treat everyone just like me.
you want to see your kids read

more, let them see YOU read more.

BY JASON ALDERMAN
The Delphos Area Economic Growth Partnership has joined forces with the Delphos
Area Chamber of Commerce. Participating in recognizing the partnership are, front

INFORMATION
SUBMITTED
DELPHOS
The
Delphos Area Chamber of
Commerce has agreed to
join forces with the Delphos
Area Economic Growth
Partnership.
The Chamber had been
interested in expanding services to their investors by
creating an economic development division within the
chamber. Talks had been
underway to merge the two
organizations. Both groups
feel this is a perfect partnership that will allow for
a greater impact within the

community. The Chamber
and EDC feel that collaboration is better than fragmentation.
We are excited about
this opportunity to join forces and have the EDC and
Chamber become a stronger area-wide organization,
Cindy Metzger of the EDC
said. All the area businesses, residents and existing
members of the chamber
will benefit from this larger,
unified organization.
The first order of business will be to create an
all-inclusive web site that
will address the issues of

area businesses, residents,
visitors and current chamber members. Preliminary
site designs include an area
specifically for current residents, economic development, Canal Days and
an area to showcase the
Destination Delphos aspects
for visitors.
Tara Krendl is the executive director of the Chamber,
Sue Gerker heads up the economic development efforts,
Diane Sterling is in charge of
Canal Days and Gary Levitt
leads Destination Delphos.

favorite tunes uninterrupted and without distracting others around
them. People often use
earbuds while commuting to work, at the gym
and even at home. But
according to hearing aid
manufacturer Belltone,
noise-induced hearing
loss can occur by using
earbuds at a high volume
for extended periods of
time. Earbuds can put
audio signals close to the
inner ear, which is the
equivalent of boosting it
by nine decibels. Even
moderately high volume
can cause hearing loss.
Its important to keep the
volume low and to take
frequent breaks when
using earbuds. Keep earbud volume below 60
percent and wear them
for no more than 60 minutes per day.

Vitamin D might help fight

symptoms of depression
People experiencing the blues, feelings of

depression and other mood disorders might be
able to use vitamin D to alleviate symptoms
of depression. New studies point to low blood
levels of vitamin D as a culprit in depression.
Simply increasing these levels offers marked
improvement.
A study conducted by VU University Medical Center in Amsterdam found that low levels of vitamin D may be linked to depression
and other psychiatric illnesses. The Amsterdam research, which tracked over 1,200 people aged 65 to 95, showed that blood vitamin
D levels were 14 percent lower in individuals
with major and minor depression compared
with non-depressed participants. A study in
the United States indicated that vitamin D deficiency occurred more often in certain people,
including African-Americans, city dwellers,
the obese, and those suffering from depression.
People with vitamin D levels below 20 ng/mL
had an 85 percent increased risk of depression
compared to those with vitamin D levels greater than 30 ng/mL.
Vitamin D has long been recognized as a nutrient essential to the development and maintenance of strong bones. It has also recently been
discovered to be of crucial importance to several aspects of overall health. Being deficient
in vitamin D has been linked to a number of
disorders, including cancer, autoimmune disease, diabetes, and now depression.

Donate blood in honor of Budget

World Blood Donor Day
INFORMATION
SUBMITTED
The American Red Cross
seeks eligible donors to give
blood in honor of World
Blood Donor Day, June 14,
and throughout the summer
to help ensure a sufficient
blood supply for patients in
need.
Summer is an especially difficult time to collect
enough blood to meet the
needs of hospital patients.
Many schools that host blood
drives are out of session
during the summer, and regular donors are often vacationing, potentially making them
less available to give.
World Blood Donor Day
highlights the constant need
for donors during the summer and throughout the year.
Supermodel Niki Taylor, the
celebrity spokesperson for
World Blood Donor Day,
fully understands the importance of blood donations. In
2001, she was in a near-fatal car accident and received
about 100 pints of blood. To
this day, she attributes her
survival to the blood donors
and doctors who helped save
her life.
Those who come to donate
blood with the Red Cross
June 8-14 will receive a limited-edition Nexcare give
bandage in one of eight glob-
Junk
al-inspired designs in honor

of World Blood Donor Day.
Every day this summer
is a chance to give hope.
Eligible donors are encouraged to choose their day to
make a difference. Donors of
all blood types especially
those with types O negative,
A negative and B negative
are needed. To make an
appointment to give blood,
download the Red Cross
Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800RED CROSS (1-800-7332767).

of identification are required
at check-in. Individuals who
are 17 years of age (16 with

states), weigh at least 110
pounds and are in generally
good health may be eligible
to donate blood. High school
students and other donors 18
years of age and younger also
have to meet certain height
and weight requirements.

Information Submitted

Supposedly, Fiedler said, twitching his fingers through air quotes, somebody had a problem with my vehicles. I own five cars and they tried to say that they were covered by a village
ordinance. I had to point out to them that there was none. Now theyre working on one just for
me.
Fiedler further remarked that he will attend the next council meeting and address his concerns with regard to the ordinance.
This is directed at no one individual, responded Ottoville Chief of Police Jay Herrick.
This isnt a one-time thing. Im sure were going to have problems like this later on. This gives
the town, the council, the chance to do something about unlicensed vehicles. Its up to council
what they want to do.
In other business, Village Solicitor Theresa Von Sossan advised council that she had heard
from Kevin Connell, an attorney representing Celadon Trucking, with regard to conflict
between businesses on Dollar Street. She related a request from Connell asking for a sit-down
between all parties concerned to determine the best course of action in resolving any disputes.
Council members briefly discussed the issue and settled on June 1 for the meeting, though no
specific time was established.
Council also discussed replacing several doors in the Municipal Center, estimated at a cost
of $15,000. Council also agreed to pay up-front costs for the purchase and placement of two
new signs for the villages Municipal Center and Community Park. The signs are a part of Alex
Burgeis Eagle Scout project, funds for which the teen is still soliciting from area community

they shall paid in accordance
with previously-passed ordinances.
The intermittent firefighter/
EMT shall not exceed 29 hours
per week and shall be required
to work a minimum of 18 hours
per month to remain in active

Councilman Josh Gillespie
had asked during the measures
first reading if language could
be added signifying that any
intermittent firefighter/EMT
hired and trained by the city
must stay with the city for
a minimum of two years or
they would be responsible for
the cost of their training. Law
Director Andy Knueve said he
was still looking into the matter and would have an answer
before the ordinances final
reading on June 1.
Council heard on second
reading an ordinance to enter
into a 7-year contract with
Allen County Refuse to supply
solid waste, refuse and recycling services to the city.
The cost to residents is $15
per month for the life of the
contract with administrative
fees of 60 cents per month the
first two years; 65 cents per
month in years three and four;
and 70 cents per month in years
five, six and seven.

The service includes weekly
garbage pick up, including lawn
refuse; every-other-week recycle pick up; and the big item
disposal on the first Saturday
of the month at the parking
lot across the street from the
municipal building.
Council also heard on second reading a warrant to Stolly
Insurance for the 2015-16 property, general liability and fleet
insurance coverage for the city.
The city extended the current
contract with Stolly through
2018 with the first years premium $79,820, a $3,484 less
than last year with a credit for
agreeing to a 3-year contract.
Council also agreed to adjust
the water bill for 310 Cherry
St. at $646,67. Notes on the
application for the adjustment
indicated a leak was found in
a pipe close to where the residents line is connected to the
meter. The resident was notified
and repairs made.
Council let an ordinance
to accept the application for
the annexation of .958 acres
of land owned by Kenneth R.
Brinkman, Michael E. Coil and
Barbara J. Coil on Pohlman
Road die at Mondays meeting.
A 60-day waiting period after
approval by Van Wert County
Commissioners was needed
before the city could act on the
annexation.
DeWine
The settlements will not be final until they are approved
by the court, and litigation will proceed against Cancer Fund
of America, Cancer Support Services (which allegedly operates as a common enterprise with Cancer Fund of America),
and James Reynolds Sr.
In Ohio, most charitable organizations and professional
solicitors that raise money in the state must file annual informational returns or financial reports with the Ohio Attorney
Generals Office. The Attorney Generals Charitable Law
Section is empowered to investigate alleged fraud and take
legal action to stop the misuse of charitable donations.
Attorney General DeWine encourages consumers to report
suspected charitable fraud to the Ohio Attorney Generals

certification are as follows:
EMT-BASIC - current national registry, 30 hour
refresher class or 40 hours of continuing education.
EMT-INTERMEDIATE - 60 hours of continuing education.
EMT-PARAMEDIC - 92 hours of continuing
education.
The recertification for the state of Ohio is a must
every three years.
At the present time there are two members of
the original membership, Tom Hickey and Fred
Hoffman.

Education on automatic
Robotics challenge helps teens build their futures

DELPHOS Outside of exclusive corporate

training facilities, where schools have such
names as Hamburger University, its rare
that a consumer product becomes a significant part of an academic program. Yet at St.
Johns High School, a toy at the core of a
part-time extracurricular activity helped it to
first blossom into a single semester class and
will, beginning in the fall of 2015, become
a pivotal aspect of a class spanning the full
academic year.
The VEX Robotics Design System presents those with a mechanical bent the components they need to construct a fully-functional,
if somewhat simplistic, robotic mechanism.
Think LEGOs for the MENSA crowd. And at
a time when S.T.E.M. Science, Technology,
Engineering and Math is increasingly the
focus of secondary and post-secondary education, this particular product and the educational opportunities associated with it help to fill
an ever-widening niche.
Lois MacLellan, one of the schools science and technology instructors and the
faculty member with oversight over the
VEX Robotics program, explained that St.
Johns first explored the program in 2012.
According to MacLennan, a former teacher,

Sharm Closson, attended a workshop on
VEX, found the project exciting and interesting and, through a grant application, acquired
the funds necessary to start the program at
the school. Contributing significantly to the
VEX systems popularity in the classroom
is an international competition sponsored
by the toys manufacturer, Innovation First
International. Competing teams are provided
with a set of tasks that their robotic designs
must meet and overcome.
This is our third year, MacLennan said.
When we first started, the kids would meet
one day a week after lunch. They would just
get started then they would have to leave. We
still competed, but we didnt do very well.
This year, however, saw a change. Rather
than a hurried, once-a-week meeting between
the end of lunch and the next scheduled
class, the school offered VEX Robotics as
a for-credit, single-semester class in and of
itself. The increased time-frame, as well as
a little media attention, prompted more students to participate and brought in mentors
in the form of Mel Rode, a retired electrical
engineer who provided insights and materials,
and Tim Stoup, a St. Johns alumnus who has
helped and is continuing to help coach both
this years and next years competitive teams,
that include, for the moment, freshman Adam
Schneer and sophomores Connor Hesseling,

Lucas Hoffman, Evyn Pohlman and Nick
Pohlman.
In a classroom on the schools second
floor, Rode has constructed a mock-up of the
arena in which the team competes. Towers
of PVC pipe and cardboard tubes dot the
roughly 12 foot square area and little colored
balls litter the floor. A small, wheeled, metal
machine with a claw arm a project the
group built for fun, not for competition sits
idle. Hesseling, Hoffman, both Pohlmans and
Schneer, pace about the room, restlessly picking up bits and pieces and discussing their last
project, their triumphs and failures.
While theres an element of play when
the young men talk about their constructions,
they are equally earnest and honest about
their desire for recognition at competitions.
This year, and for the first time at St. Johns,
the group moved on from the initial phase of
competition, although thats as far as it went.
They want the world, MacLennan said,
referring to international competition. Thats
what they say. They want the world.
But the competition is really just a chance
to bust loose and strut. What truly matters
are the opportunities granted, the lessons
learned in the process: determination, teamwork, interpersonal communication, problem
solving, innovative thinking and a host of
other real-world life lessons critical in a
career environment, as well as mathematics,
logic, computer programming, engineering,
physics and the rest of the hard sciences. Not
surprisingly, when asked if they are considering engineering as a career path, four of the
five nod and raise their hands. And, while
recognizing a natural inclination toward the
Connor Hesseling sits close to the VEX

Robotics groups most recent creation as
it trundles from point A to point B. (DHI
Media/Steven Coburn-Griffis)
sciences, they acknowledged the influence
that this program offered.
I would say that this class helped with
some decisions, Lucas Hoffman offered. If
you were thinking about going into engineering, this class helped with that decision and it
gave us more experience, more knowledge to
help make that decision.
While recognizing its strengths and successes, MacLennan did point out one key
element missing in the classroom.
Girls, she said. Right now, there arent
any. But were working on that. In the next
generation, well have some girls in VEX.
Do more with the equity in

your home.
The VEX Robotics team, from left, Evyn Pohlman, Connor Hesseling, Adam Schneer, Nick
Pohlman and Lucas Hoffman, reminisce about the construction of their competitive robot.
(DHI Media/Steven Coburn-Griffis)
Use the equity in your home to pay for more than just
projects around the house. Consolidate debt, pay for
education, buy a new car or plan a vacation with a home
equity loan or line of credit from First Financial Bank.
Pennies for Projects underway
With an easy application process and competitive rates its a great solution to pay for the things you need, when
you need them.
Many people are donating coins for the Laborers R Us Pennies for Projects.
Applications for project assistance and volunteers can be picked up at Trinity
United Methodist Church. Jars can also be picked up at Trinity UMC to start saving
coins for this community project. (Submitted photo)
