DELPHOS When Linda


Baker moved to Delphos
in 1980 from Galion for a
fresh start with her two children, she never imagined she
would embrace her new community and 35 years later, she
would still be here working to
preserve its history.
I was just graduating
from Bowling Green State
University and I attended a
job fair in Columbus, Baker
recalled. I met Arden Blythe,
the Delphos City Schools
superintendent at the time,
and I applied for the position of librarian at the high
school. I interviewed along
with another girl I went to
college with and I got it.
The rest, as they say, is
history. Baker spent 28 years
as a library/media specialist at Jefferson High School,
coached volleyball and started the districts post prom
effort in 1989. She also served
as president of the Delphos
Education Association for
two years, during which
she coordinated two special
events: Teachers Touch
Lives, where former graduates chose a teacher who

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.

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

Next Generation

Students celebrate Christmas around the world


Information submitted
DELPHOS St. Johns students celebrated Christmas in
more places outside of Delphos this year. Using the classroom
to venture around the world, students embarked on journeys
both near and far to learn and celebrate various Christmas traditions from other cultures and countries. Some students brought
Christmas cheer through the power of music, others through
self-sought research, while others still traveled by passport.
Students in Seora Monica Becks high school Spanish
classes took to a melodic route of celebrating Christmas by
caroling to students throughout the school. These students
learned various Christmas tunes in Spanish, but none could be
more entertaining than the audience favorite, Feliz Navidad.
Dawn Ledyards eighth-graders took to self-sought research
across the globe. Students were required to select a country,
complete research about basic demographic and cultural information and typical Christmas customs citizens practice and
communicate this information through written verbal communication as a paper, provide a spoken presentation to their peers
and create a visual aide for the presentation. These visual aids
could be in the form of a PowerPoint, food or beverage item,
costume, dance, and etc. Some students provided egg lemonade in honor of Denmark traditions, French-inspired yule logs,
and even a handmade piata to represent Spanish customs!
Second-grade students in the classrooms of Kathy
Holdgreve, Chris Koverman and Sister Joella learned about First-grade students jingle all the way to Christmas break and watch The Polar Express.
Christmas traditions through the use of a passport. Students engaged in hands-on learning
through making their own ornaments, coloring the passport and holiday booklets containing all of the information needed in each
countrys customs and enjoyed learning about
how children their age from other countries
celebrate the holidays. What could be more
memorable than learning that Germans hide a
Christmas pickle in Christmas trees for the
youth to find and receive an extra gift or that
Australians have Christmas meals outside or
at the beach?
Among other special pre-Christmas break
celebrations, first-grade students enjoyed

watching the Polar Express and wearing


their own jingle bell necklaces, Kindergarten
students played bingo and colored pictures
of the Magi coming to visit the infant baby
Jesus, and the entire elementary school sang
Christmas carols to some very special people
in the St. Johns community.
No matter the celebrations at St. Johns,
Christ is the reason for the school and this season in which we celebrate. Whether Christmas
means you travel near or far, over the river,
or stay at home, we hope you had a Merry
Christmas and welcome in a Happy New
Year!

St. Johns outlasts Paulding


BY LARRY HEIING
DHI Media Correspondent
news@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS A pair of
5-win teams hoped to end
2015 on a winning note as
Paulding (5-3) traveled to
Delphos St. Johns (5-2) for
a non-league boys basketball
contest Tuesday night.
Alex Arellano scored 27
points for the Panthers but
the Blue Jays had a bit more
firepower to outlast Paulding
46-41.
Paulding was playing its
first game in eight days and
both teams appeared sluggish
from the long holiday break
trying to find an open shot
against the opponents zone
defense.
Ryan Hellman of Delphos
St. Johns opened the scoring
with a triple from the corner
as the Jays got on the board.
Nearly five minutes ran off
the clock before Jarrett Sitton
found Paulding teammate
Arellano open for the easy
layin with 3:21 left in the
first. Hellman added another
three with a baseline drive for
the hoop-and-foul as the Jays
led 6-2. Arellano displayed
his defensive skills with a
steal and a layup at the other
end, followed by a banker
by Ethan Rhonehouse to
even the score. The Panthers
played for the last shot of
the opening period and
Rhonehouse delivered with a
trey from in front of the Blue
Jay bench. Blue Jay sophomore Collin Will grabbed the
inbound pass and heaved a
3/4-of-the-court shot at the
buzzer that hit nothing but
net to ignite the hometown
fans and tie the game at nine.
The Blue Jays went on a
7-0 run to open the second as
Tim Kreeger scored from the
paint, Jared Wurst (returning from injury) drained a
three and Robbie Saine hit
a pull-up jumper for a 16-9
lead. After a Paulding timeout and a pair of free throws
by Kreeger, Arellano had two
more steals for buckets and
an offensive rebound for two
to pull Paulding within 18-15
at the half.
We are a young team that
is learning while winning,
said Blue Jay coach Aaron
Elwer. We are turning the
ball over too many times and
Paulding took advantage of
our mistakes tonight for easy

points.
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
were 6-of-8 from the charity

stripe in the closing minutes


to put the game away.
We played hard and had
the lead in the fourth quarter but a pair of bad possessions after that changed
the complexity of the game,
explained Paulding coach
Shawn Brewer. Our players
learned some things out there
tonight playing on the road in
a close contest. We will use
our long break until our next
game to make adjustments
so everyone on the floor can
contribute.
The Panthers shot 36 percent from the floor, including 6-of-17 from long range.
Besides Arellanos 27 points,
Rhonehouse added nine
points for the Panthers.
St. Johns was led in scoring by Kreeger with 20 points
and Hellman was a spark on
the floor contributing 16. The
Jays shot 46 percent in the
contest and converted five
triples on 12 attempts.
This was a fun game
to coach because it was
like a chess match against
Pauldings versatility, continued Elwer. The Panthers
could come out with a big
or small lineup and our guys
made in-game adjustments
based on their offense.
The next game for the
Blue Jays (6-2) will be the
Holy War at unbeaten Lima
Central Catholic at 2 p.m. on
Sunday.

Paulding (5-4) will be off


until Jan. 8 when they take on
Allen East.
In the junior varsity game,
Paulding went on a 15-0
scoring run to open the second half to coast to a 37-31
victory.
Luke Brewer led Paulding
with 16 points and Connor
Hulihan scored 11 for the
Jays.

Keeping it even
Tuesday Roundup
shorter and sweeter!
Another
short
and sweet edition of
Jim Metcalfe
Metcalfes Musings
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!

The girls championship contest (Lincolnview versus
Jefferson) commences at approximately 6:20 p.m..
By any measure, the Jefferson/Fairlawn battle was a fine
one. The game featured two future college players, Jeffersons
Trey Smith (30 points) and Fairlawns Nathan Lessing (31
points).
The shooting from the field and the line was outstanding by
both teams, as was the ball handling.
Jeffersons last 14-point lead came at 49-35 with 2:42 left
in the third quarter but Fairlawn ended that period on a 7-0 run
49-42 at the break.
Lessing took the game over during the final quarter, scoring
16 points during those eight minutes.
Jefferson still led 57-49 at the 4-minute mark but the Jets
Nick Brautigam swished a 3-pointer from the left wing and
Lessing slashed inside for a layup to make it 57-54 at 2:51.
The Wildcats came back with two Josh Teman free throws
and a fast-break putback by Smith 61-54 at 2:24. Lessing
then went on a personal 8-0 run two free throws, a 10-foot
pull-up jumper, two more free throws and a putback of his own
miss giving Fairlawn its first lead, 62-61 with 42 seconds
remaining.
Smith was fouled on a catch in the paint and hit nothing
but net on both free throws 63-62, Cats, at 0:26. After a
couple of timeouts, the Jets found Luke Hickman wide open
underneath and the 6-4 sophomore laid it in to lead 64-63 with
1.7 seconds left.
After another timeout, a full-court Jefferson pass went out
of bounds and Lessing then split two free throws for the final
margin.
The Jeffcats did get off a half-court heave at the buzzer and
it barely grazed the rim.
It was reverse deja vu, as the two teams also met in last
years Chatt Tournament opener.
The shoe was on the other foot last year, said Jefferson
coach Marc Smith. We were down 10 points early in the
fourth quarter and they didnt step on our throat. Both teams
basically returned everybody. We didnt get enough defensive
stops in the third quarter and early fourth quarter when we had
a chance to step on their throat. You let a team hang around,
you get whats coming to you.
During the first half, Smith didnt miss a shot from the field
or the line, while racking up 17 points, staking Jefferson to a
37-27 lead at the break.
Lessing had 11 points in the first 16 minutes.
A pretty left-handed finger roll by Smith and two Smith free
throws pushed that lead out to 43-29 early in the third period,
and the lead stayed in that range until the Jets late-third-quarter
run.
Fairlawns patient offense resulted in a lot of good shots
and 57 percent (24 of 42) field goal shooting for the game as
a whole. Jefferson ended up at 46 percent (21 of 46), a solid
number, but the Wildcats were only 3 of 12 in the final quarter.
The free throw shooting was excellent by both teams
80 percent (16 of 20) by Jefferson, 75 percent (15 of 20) by
Fairlawn. The Jets won the boards 24-18. The Cats had fewer
turnovers, 11-13.
Smith was 10 of 12 from the field in amassing his 30 points,
all this despite having a Jet in front and in back almost the
entire game. He and Lessing (31 points) were the games only
double-digit scorers.

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

5 ways to be charitable
while on a budget
BY NATHANIEL
SILLIN

If youve ever wondered


if you can be charitable with
only a few extra dollars in
your wallet or a little bit of
free time, the answer is yes.
You just have to get a little
creative.
In the Chronicle of
Philanthropys latest analysis
of charitable giving, it appears
people who earned less were
giving more. Based on stateby-state tax data, the nonprofit industry trade publication
reported that between 2006
to 2012, Americans earning
more than $200,000 gave a
smaller percentage of their
income to charity while those
earning less than $100,000
actually gave more during the
same period.
Wherever you stand on the
income scale, stretching charitable dollars or time should
begin with a little planning.
Here are five steps to consider.
Check
your
finances first. Helping others is a
worthwhile lifetime habit.
However, before you start
writing checks or handing out
cash to various individuals
or groups, check your budget to determine whether you
actually have extra money to
spare for charitable donations
in any form. If you itemize,
check the IRS rules (www.
irs.gov) on charitable giving
or consult with a qualified tax
professional to see if there are
charitable giving options that
fit your circumstances.
Screen charities youre
considering. Its never been
easier to evaluate a potential
charity or nonprofit organization. Leading online databases like CharityNavigator.
org, CharityWatch.org and
Guidestar.org provide extensive data on thousands of
national, state and local charities and nonprofit organizations. The Better Business

Nathaniel Sillin

Bureau also operates Give.


org, a national charity database that accredits and notes
complaints. The U.S. Federal
Trade Commissions Charity
Scams website offers breaking news on illegal fundraising activities and best practices for evaluating charities and
nonprofits year-round. What
else can you do? Play reporter. Even if an organization
checks out through these reputable sources, do an online
search of news media just
to make sure no unsavory
developments have occurred
that might discourage your
donation.
Research whats needed. If
the charity in question accepts
physical items or volunteer
work, see if youre interested
in providing help that way.
Check with the charity either
online or by phone to determine what they will and will
not accept donating the
wrong items simply wastes
staff and volunteer time. If
you would like to volunteer,
ask about opportunities and
make sure that volunteer
assignment fits you before
you commit. Remember,
charities really count on their
volunteers and your enthusiasm for an assignment can
help them keep their turnover to a minimum. Some
organizations may also have
travel-based service missions

that can provide charitable


travel opportunities that allow
you to help while seeing the
world.
Ask if your employer will
match your donation. Even if
your cash donation is modest,
some employers can make
your contribution go farther
if they have a matching gifts
program. Check with your
human resources department
or benefits manager. Also,
many nonprofits, universities
and charitable organizations
keep their own online databases of employer matching
gift programs.
Go micro. If you can only
find a few dollars to give,
dont let that discourage you.
Organize like-minded friends
and family members to pool
funds, attend events or volunteer time for a cause, or
consider a particular nonprofits organized crowdfunding
(https://www.councilofnonprofits.org/tools-resources/
crowdfunding-nonprofits)
efforts that will allow you to
make an impact with only a
few dollars. Still short on cash
and want to help? Pick up the
phone or email the charity and
ask if they accept small items
or in-kind services. Some
ideas might include gift cards
(including ones with unused
balances), office supplies,
stamps, catering for events or
board meetings or help with
writing, fundraising or technology.
Bottom line: Making a difference in the world doesnt
always require big bucks, but
big know-how helps. Check
your finances first, research
charities youre interested in
and investigate how small
donations of time, money and
physical items can make an
impact.

Movie Review

In The Heart of the Sea

"The Eyes Have It"

Directed by Ron Howard - Rated PG-13

No one whos read Moby-Dick can forget


when the stunned first mate, spying the great
white whale for the first time, turns to captain
Ahab, like hes just seen a ghost. Youre
gonna need a bigger boat, he informs him.
No, waitIm confusing my culture and
my pop culture. Its easy to do. Director Ron
Howard kinda-sorta mixes it up a bit, too,
in telling the story of the (true) story that
inspired author Herman Melville to write the
(fictional) story that became the (familiar)
story we all know as the biggest, baddest
whale tale of all time.
In the Heart of the Sea begins with a
young Melville (Ben Whishaw, who plays
gadget-master Q in the new James Bond
movies) coming to visit crusty Tom Nickerson
(veteran Irish actor Brendan Gleeson). The
fledgling writer wants to coax from the old
salt the truth about a doomed whaling ship,
the Essex, its encounter with a legendary
monster from the deepan alabaster-white
demon of a whaleand the adrift-at-sea
horrors endured by the surviving members
of the crew before they were finally rescued.
Nickerson was an orphaned lad (played
by Tom Holland) when he shipped out on the
Essex, to which were introduced as the movie
switches into flashback mode as it prepares to
set sail in 1820. The capable Owen Chase
(Chris Hemsworth) was promised hed be
put in charge, but a squeeze on whale-oil
supply-and-demand pressure Essex company
men to appoint their benefactors underqualified, over-gentrified son, George Pollard
(Benjamin Walker), as captain. So Chase
reluctantly signs on as first mate, promising
his pregnant wife (Michelle Fairley) hell be
home soonmaybe a year instead of two, in
19th century whaling terms.
Once the Essex hits the open water, the
movie hits its strideespecially if youre
a fan of old-fashioned seafaring-adventure
epics. The heavy canvas of the sails swells
with the wind; ropes whip, whap and whoosh;
metal clangs; swarthy men holler, hustle and
clamber; and, of course, theres water, water
everywhere.
The whaling scenes are specialeffect marvels. Howard melds the rush of
adrenalized excitement, the ever-present, life-

In The Heart of the Sea is one whopper


of a whale tale Starring Chris Hemsworth,
Brendan Gleeson & Tom Holland.

or-death danger, and the existential melancholy of


slaying such magnificent creatures to provide oil to
fuel the machines of industry and move our great
nation forward, as a clergyman prays.
And heaven forbid you get stuck with blowholereaming detail.
When the gigantic white whale finally makes an
appearance, well, its very bad news. And then things
just keep going from bad to worse, to unspeakable.
Its hard to look at Chris Hemsworth and not see
Thor, the movie role with which hes most associated,
especially when the drama takes a deep, desperate
dive into darker places. (Forget the harpoonjust
break out your hammer, dude!) Its hard not to
sympathize with, or root for the whales, after seeing
them impaled and bloodied with iron toggles, spikes
and spires, and knowing that some of them have now
been hunted to near extinction.
And its impossible to miss the movies undertone,
which eventually becomes its overtone: Yesterdays
whale oil is todays petroleum, and humans are still
driven to the ends of Earth to get it. Howards historybased high-seas yarn has a contemporary message
about hubris, greed and resource exploitation that
resonates today by land or by sea.
We are kings, circumventing the globe, boasts
captain Pollard. To bend nature is our right. His first
mate disagreeswe are but mere specks, Chase
counters, compared to the vastness of the world, the
unfathomable mysteries of the sea, and the monstrous
majesty of a creature that can smash a ship into
splinters.
They really do need a bigger boatand sometimes,
dont we all?

The Herald 13

including members of the


Jefferson High School basketball team, got to directly
experience serving those less
fortunate.
I served on the Mission
Committee twice, Baker
said. I really didnt know
what the committee did until
I served on it. You cant
understand something until
youre a part of it. I stepped
down to let new people come
in so more could grasp what
the committee did.
Baker also shares her
singing voice at church with
her 30-year membership in
the choir.
I love music and its a
big part of my life, Baker
said. When Im struggling,
music helps me and I love to

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
(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

in a data base using a numbering system.


They call me the organizer, Baker said. The librarian in me wants to categorize
everything and put everything in order.
She also put her computer
skills to task putting together
the museums newsletter for
seven years. The publication,
New Eddies in the Current,
is mailed out to the museum
membership. She is also one
of three trustees who writes
monthly On the Banks of
Yesteryear articles for The
Delphos Herald.
When she saw how much
more the museum could offer
the public, she talked with
other trustees and they were

Wisher

able to open the museum on


the weekends making it possible to double the hours of
availability. She does the volunteer scheduling and most
of the student tours from
schools.
I do spend a lot of hours
a the museum, Baker said.
I and another of the trustees
always joke that as long as we
are up at the museum, we dont
have to be home cleaning.
Baker hasnt limit her
time to Delphoss history. She also served on the
Mission Committee at Trinity
and coordinated volunteers
for Our Daily Bread soup
kitchen for four years in a
joint venture with Salem
Mennonite Church. More

THE DELPHOS HERALD


405 N. Main St. Delphos

When Wisher graduated from Jefferson in 1997, he started


working full time with the Delphos Park and Rec Department. In
March 2001, he secured a spot as a part-paid firefighter/EMT on
Delphos Fire and Rescue. Both his childhood wishes had come
true.
Wisher became involved in the Fire and EMS associations,
serving as past president, past vice president and past secretary/
treasurer with the Fire and is currently president of the EMS. One
of the fundraisers for the fire department is numerous chicken
barbecues during the warmer months. Wisher was approached
by a Kiwanis member to help start an annual barbecue the club.
I helped the Kiwanis with their dinner for two years and they
talked me into joining, Wisher said. My future father-in-law
was also a member.
Not long after, the annual Fourth of July event was in danger
of going by the wayside. The Jaycees disbanded and several
groups attempted to pick up the Independence Day event but
were not as successful as in the past.
The Kiwanis was 14 members strong when I talked them into
taking on the Fourth of July celebration in 2005. I just couldnt
let go of it, Wisher said. We now have increased our membership tremendously and this last Fourth of July was bigger and
better than ever. Everyone works together and Im enjoying it
and having fun. Its easy to stay involved when everyone has the

same goal. This has become the catalyst for our club to do our
projects.
The proceeds are reinvested in Delphos with particular attention to the youth.
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.

Prevent Unnecessary Surgery by


Finding the Real Cause of Pain
Danielle came to see
Dr. Maurice Chung after
three unsuccessful years of
treatment for pelvic pain.
At age 29, she had undergone two surgeries to alleviate severe cramps and
bleeding. When those procedures proved ineffective,
she underwent a complete
hysterectomy. But despite
all of these drastic and
costly measures, Danielle
(not her real name) continued to have pain.
Dr. Chung traced the
source of the problem to
an earlier injury. Danielle
had fallen, but no one at
the time realized there
was damage to her bladder, muscles and nerves.
Based on his diagnosis, Dr.
Chung was able to reduce
Danielles pain by around
80 percent with medication and minimally invasive surgery. His mission
is to help others like her
avoid the same kind of
ordeal.
For more than 25 years,
Dr. Chung has treated
women for severe menstrual pain, sexual pain, endometriosis, bladder control, and organ prolapse,
among other ailments. He
is quietly passionate about
managing pain in the least
invasive way possible.
Clarifying the problem is the first step
Pelvic pain is often
diagnosed as endometriosis, Dr. Chung points
out. But endometriosis
accounts for only about
20% of all cases. By

viewing pain through


a wider lens and better
understanding the source
of pain, Dr. Chung helps
women avoid unnecessary
surgery. When a woman
comes to me with severe
pain, I start with the
least invasive treatment
approach, he says. Most
instances of pelvic pain do
not require major surgery.
New
Center
for
Treating Pelvic Pain
A
graduate
of
Northeastern University
College of Pharmacy and
Tufts University Medical
School, Dr. Chung is
board-certified in OB-GYN
and uro-gynecology. He
has been a certified laparoscopic surgeon since
1995. Dr. Chung oversees the Van Wert County
Hospital Womens Center

of Excellence for Pelvic


Pain, Organ Prolapse and
Bladder Control, which
opened in 2015.
Visitors to the Center
include women at every
stage of life, from teenagers
to the elderly. What brings
them to the Center is simple: They have pain often
debilitating pain but the
cause can be complex difficult to pinpoint. In many
cases, women have come to
Dr. Chung only after previous treatment efforts proved
unsuccessful.
Pain is not normal and
should not be ignored
Women are brought up
to accept that pain is a normal part of their lives, Dr.
Chung says, but pain is
not normal. It is, however, commonplace and can
take a huge toll on a wom-

ans quality of life. Pain


is important; it points us
toward solving a problem
and should not be ignored.
Sometimes, after unsuccessful attempts to treat
pelvic pain, women are
made to feel the problem
is all in their head when, in
fact, the pain is very real.
At the Center we take
all womens symptoms
seriously, Dr. Chung
says. We start by engaging them in a conversation
to understand every possible factor that could be
causing their problem. We
want our patients to know
they are not alone. With
proper diagnosis and a
cautious approach to treatment, there is a good possibility we can alleviate
their pain without drastic
measures.

Trivia

Answers to last Saturdays questions:


When it comes to animal offspring, an elver is

Singer-songwriter Taylor Swift prints the number 13 on her hand whenever she performs. She
considers it her lucky number. She notes that she

On the TV medical drama House, what fitting

Todays joke:
Its the World Cup Final and a man makes his
way to his seat right next to the pitch. He sits
down, noticing that the seat next to him is empty.
He leans over and asks his neighbor if someone
will be sitting there.
No, says the neighbor. The seat is empty.
This is incredible, said the man. Who in
their right mind would have a seat like this for the
final and not use it?
The neighbor says, Well actually the seat
belongs to me. I was supposed to come with my
wife, but she passed away. This is the first World
Cup Final we havent been to together since we
got married.
Oh, Im so sorry to hear that. Thats terrible.But couldnt you find someone else, a
friend, relative or even a neighbor to take her
seat?
The man shakes his head. No, he says.
Theyre all at the funeral.
