Wisher knew from a young
age he wanted to be a firefighter and serve Delphos. From
growing up by the Firemans
Clubhouse in Waterworks
Park and interacting with the
firefighters to his first job at
Stadium Park in a concession
stand under the tutelage of Ed
Clark, Wisher wanted to be a
part of what he saw.
I live here in Delphos and
Im raising my family here so
of course I want it to be the
best it can be, Wisher said.
Ive found a way to do that
with my careers and my free
time.
Those like Ed Clark, who
Wisher said cared about what
he did and wanted to provide
the people of Delphos with
what they needed and wanted,
guided his choices.

Terry L. Sleep
Neer
Oct. 24, 1941-Dec. 26, 2015
PAULDING Terry
L. Sleep Neer, 74, died
Saturday.
Terry was born Oct. 24,
1941, to Merkle and Lula
(Anderson) Neer, who preceded him in death.
On Jan. 31, 1964, he married Linda Dempsey.
He served in the US Navy
from 1961 1964; worked
at BF Goodrich from 1965
2001, retiring after 36 years,
and was also a Paulding
County Hospital PhoneA-Ride driver for 5 years.
Terry was a life member of
Paulding VFW Post #587. He
proudly held several positions
including Post Chaplain for
many years, helping to lay to
rest over 400 of his comrades.
He enjoyed coaching Little
League baseball for 18 years
and bowling on leagues for
over 30 years. The last few
years he liked going to casinos hoping to win big money.
Most of all, Terry loved doing
things with his family. He
treasured the vacations, the
family get-togethers, and
most of all Christmas Eve
when all the family gathered
at his home. His memory will
be with us forever.
He will be sadly missed
by his wife, Linda; children,
Greg (Becky), Deb (fianc,
Bart Ripke), Pam (Chris)
Rosswurm, Tim (Tina);
11 grandchildren; and 11
great-grandchildren.
He is also preceded in
death by his brother, Archie
Mack Neer; and a grandson,
Cody Jacob Unger.
Visitation will be from
2-8 p.m. today at Den Herder
Funeral Home, Paulding, with
a memorial service at 7:30
p.m. conducted by VFW Post
587. A private family burial
will be held at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be given
to Paulding VFW General
Fund.
Online condolences may

Geneva Red
Information submitted
LIMA The Allen County Historical
Society, in conjunction with the Blues
Committee of Lima, will host an evening
program by Geneva Red and The Original
Delta Fireballs at 7 p.m. on Jan. 13 at the Allen
County Museum, 620 W. Market St., Lima.
Geneva Red is one of this countrys top
female instrumentalists performing on the
blues harp. The first time that she attempted
to breathe life into a harmonica, she ended up
with a partially collapsed lung. Undeterred by
the setback, Red began teaching herself the
various positions and sounds that the mouth
harp offered. Inspired by the great harmonica
players of the fifties and sixties, Red joined
forces with Jackie 5 & Dime who organized
a recording session. This early achievement
led to the formation of the band, Geneva
Red & The Roadsters. The bands success
has brought them engagements throughout the

Pauldings Edwards hit a
jumper to pull the Panthers
within a point to open the
second half. Big man Jesse
Ditto got an assist on a pass
to Kreeger as the Jays led
20-17. Arellano connected
from the top of the key for
a triple and a perfect vision
score of 20-20. Four consecutive shots were from downtown as Hellman hit twice
and Arellano continued the
air strike with another. Wurst
put the Jays up 28-24 with a
20-foot jumper. The Panthers
scored the final five points
of the third on a Rhonehouse
triple and Arellano scored
inside.
The Jays regained the lead
to open the final eight minutes
as Kreegers baseline pass to
Hellman gave St. Johns a
30-29 lead. The big guys on
both sides began to dominate
inside as Arellano and Sitton
scored for Paulding, along
with Kreeger scoring three
straight buckets for the Jays.
Later, Arellano connected on
another 3-ball to knot the
contest at 38. Kreeger had
only six points entering the
fourth quarter but exploded
for 14 points when the game
was on the line, including a
banker to give the Jays the
lead for good at 40-38. Sitton
drilled a shot from long range
for the Panthers but the Jays

I hope!
Now is the usual
time to make resolutions for the New
Year.
They are the usual
ones I wont tell
you what they are but
I am sure they are no different than most of yours but I
hope that we all can keep at least a couple for longer than the
expected month.
I just hope that the world of sports keeps bringing more and
more things for me to write about more of them good than
the bad, which seems to hog the headlines.
Its always interesting to take stock of the professional
athletes that have played their final games in 2015 in whatever
sport it was.
When you think of how long and hard many of these men
and women have busted their behinds to reach the goal they
set for themselves from the youngest ages when most kids
were out being kids (amen to that, I say for far too many!),
these kids were spending their time in the gym, on the court
or somewhere else in the arena.
Anyone that makes it that far deserves it you dont luck
your way into it!
They have sacrificed a lot to get to where they are and you
hope for them that in the end, they didnt lose their humanity,
that they dont forget where they ultimately come from, that it
was worth it but they still have who they are.
Then its all gone one day and they are left to ponder what
next.
For too many, they have lost that and that is the bad stuff
that happens to these guys and gals; they get the idea that life
owes them this or that success instead of them working
their way to get it and to be thankful that they had the work
ethic to go with the gift.
For my many, many MANY faithful readers and
even those few of you that arent always remember where
you come from and may your hopes and dreams for the New
Year begin to take shape!
Happy New Year!

Lancers overwhelm
Big Green boys
BY JIM METCALFE
DHI Media Sports Editor
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
RURAL MIDDLE POINT
Lincolnviews boys basketball team had compiled an
8-0 mark with good scoring
balance, a share-the-wealth
mentality and solid defense.
Ottoville found out the
hard way Monday night,
being on the losing end
of a 62-17 rout inside the
Lancerdome.
The Lancers (9-0) did the
trick with a stellar shooting
night 26-of-49 from the
floor (3-of-6 downtown) for
53.1 percent with three
in double digits: 12 each
by Austin Leeth (6 assists,
4 steals) and Trevor Neate
and 11 by Derek Youtsey (5
rebounds).
They also did it on the
defensive end by forcing 22
turnovers (3 for themselves)
and 7-of-32 shooting (1-of-11
long range) for 21.9 percent.
We average four in double digits; Ive been saying all
along that these guys really
dont care who gets the points
but its all about the wins. We
really share the ball well from
1 through 8, Lancer head
man Brett Hammons said.
We have good length and
size and that makes it even
tougher for teams to deal with
us offensively and defensively. Our big guys all have great
feet and run well and they
have length to bother teams
on defense. We started off
slow today but got into it the
second quarter on.
Ottoville head man Todd
Turnwald gave all the credit
to his opponent.
They bothered us a lot in
everything they did. They are
a great team that does a lot
well, one of the best in this
region at least, Turnwald
added. Im just thankful
Brett and his team are a class
act because it could have been
a lot worse if he had wanted it
to be.
The Big Green (1-9)
minus 6-6 senior Dustin
Trenkamp (Christmas vacation) held their own for
the first period, winning the
battle of the boards 10-6 (3-0
offensive) and shooting 3-of12. The Lancers shot 5-of-11
and took the lead from the
start on a Leeth right-wing
jumper just 30 ticks into the
contest. When Youtsey went
inside for two at 1:42, the
Lancers led 11-7.
The second period was the
doom of the Big Green
a 21-2 deficit. The Lancers
unveiled their 1-2-2 3/4-court
zone and forced eight turnovers. That fueled a perfect
shooting quarter 7-of-7
as Leeth nailed a pair of
triples and Neate a pair of
deuces. The solo score for

harmonize.
At the young age of 72,
Baker isnt ready to slow
down just yet.
Baker said she gets her
go-get-em attitude from her
mother.
Mom was always a doer,
she recalled. She was a Girl
Scout leader and a volunteer
with the March of Dimes. I
remember watching her volunteer for a lot of causes.
When I was in fourth grade,
the teacher asked me what I
wanted to be when I grew up
and I said, a Girl Scout leader. Everyone else wanted to
be a doctor or a firefighter.
Bakers daughter, Michele
Baker-Lindsay, and her twins
live in Dayton, Tennessee. Her
son, James, lives in Delphos.
Baker
(Continued from page 1)
Baker volunteered for the
American Cancer Society
at the Allen County Relay
for Life for two years and
when it came time to start a
Relay for Life in Delphos,
Baker jumped on board on
the first steering committee
and for the next eight years,
would serve as captain for
the high school staff team or
for her church, Trinity United
Methodist.
Cancer haw touched everyone, Baker said. It brought so
many of the community together for one cause.
Baker was also on the
planning committee for the
Darlene Alt Memorial Run/
Walk.
In 2002, Baker was asked
by Teresa Bradstock to join
the Canal Commission as a
trustee.
I said sure. Little did
I know what that would
entail, Baker said with a
laugh. I had visited the
museum in its infancy when
it was very small. It isnt so
small anymore.
Baker would spend the
next 13 years putting her
librarian skills to the test
organizing and categorizing at the museum. She performs research for signage on
museum exhibits to provide
an enhanced visitor experience and has helped with
archiving and putting items

When I look around and see all the new play equipment in
the parks and the other projects weve been able to accomplish I
am humbled, Wisher said. If it wasnt for the clubs and organizations and the Dienstberger Foundation, Delphos would not be
nearly as nice as it is. We are so fortunate to have the Canal Days
Committee and those who put forth that effort and Optimists and
the Stadium Club and all the groups we have.
The Kiwanis Internationals purpose is to serve children and
through the local club, Delphos sees that here.
Wisher was just elected the club president in October, his second go around at the post. He sees to the day-to-day operations
with the rest of the board and co-chairs the Fourth of July celebration with Dave Smith. While he is still going strong, he knows
there will come a time when he and others will need to step aside.
He hopes there is someone there to step in.
We have work really hard to build everything up, Wisher
said. My greatest fear is that people wont step up and join in
and be the back bone and keep the pride in this community alive.
Wisher is the son of Larry and Chris Wisher. He and his wife,
Jill, have a son, Lincoln, 1. His family attends St. John the
Evangelist Catholic Church.
