2016 looking up for Delphos
BY NANCY SPENCER
DHI Media Editor
nspencer@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS Things are looking up for the City of Delphos,
according the Mayor Michael
Gallmeier, who said Delphos is
on the right track for 2016.
I am so excited weve got the
pilot project in place at the wastewater treatment plant, Gallmeier
said. Weve done all our home-
work and are very confident in

Fibracast and in their technology.
Were starting the project at the
perfect time so the new system
will experience the whole year of
weather events.
On Sunday, the area received
more than 3 inches of rain and
additional rain fell on Monday.
The lagoons are full but thats
to be expected, Gallmeier said.
Theyll run that back through
the plant and it will be treated and
expelled into the creek.

A representative from Fibracast
will live in Delphos for the next
year and monitor the system to
make sure everything is working
properly and up to standards.
The new system is going to be
at least 50 percent more efficient
in energy use. In 2014, the plant
cost $600,000 in electricity to run.
The new technology itself is also
more efficient and comes with less
ancillary equipment. Less equip-
ment also means less service and

replacement costs.
The city has struggled with the
original membranes at the plant from
the previous supplier with fouling
and hydraulic issues for more than
eight years and received notice from
the first of 2015 from the Ohio EPA
of impending findings and orders if
the issues were not addressed in a
timely manner. The EPA has worked
with the city on the project.
Another change in the city is
$1.00
the Fire and Rescue Department

moving from a fire-based entity to an EMS-based one. Three
full-time firefighter/EMTs came
on board on Dec. 28 through
the SAFER Grant, bringing the
department up to full staffing levels. Intermittent employees are
also used to backfill at the station
while full-timers are on runs, saving overtime costs.

Ottoville family shares Christmas with three exchange students

BY NANCY KLINE
DHI Media Staff Writer
nkline@putnamsentinel.com
OTTOVILLE Rick and Lori Fishers home was a
busy place for Christmas this year. The household, already
including three sons and an exchange student, expanded
during the holidays when two exchange students returned
to the home where they had lived while spending time in
the United States.
It was an international feel outside the home with flags
from Italy, Netherlands, and Germany flying from the
roof. Inside had the same feel with artistic renderings for
the three countries in three framed pictures.
This is the first time the Fishers have hosted all three of
their exchange students at one time.
Its been fun, said Lori. We consider our exchange
students part of our extended family.
Alexander Justel, Germany, and Jochem vander Sluijs,
Netherlands, have been staying at the Fisher home for the
holidays since mid-December. Valeria Arianna Farina, Italy,
is currently living with the Fishers as an exchange student.
Lora said Jochem does internships now in his country
so summers are not a good time for him to visit.
It looked like it would work out for him to come at
Christmas, she said. Then they asked Alex to also come
for the holiday season.

The City of Delphos would have had two council seats to fill for 2016: Council at large
and Council President. After discussion with Ken Terry, director for the Allen County Board
of Elections, it was determined that based on a previous law and prosecutors legal opinion,
if a vacancy occurs because there was no applicant running for that seat, then the incumbent
shall remain in that seat until either they resign or pass away.
Both Joe Martz, councilman-at-large, and Dan Hirn, council president, have informed the
Mayor that they will remain in their positions.
The city is very appreciative of their time and dedication to the citizens of Delphos.
The deepest definition of youth is life as

yet untouched by tragedy.

SENIORWISE Wert Hospital CEO
By Ed Clark
Gifts of thought from the over 60 crowd...

A Visit with Gussie and Edgar VanAutreve
Gussie 93wise and Edgar 94wise.
Gussie was quality control advisor for our
conversation and could not have been sweeter
in guiding the reflections of her life journey
with Edgar.
Reflection on being a Senior
Gussie summed up succinctly Weve had
a good life and we enjoy our children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, one may
not be able to pack any more good in one
sentence! Still in full command of their dayto-day operation Gussie & Edgar expressed
their great appreciation to Comfort Keepers
for their role in keeping daily living on a
smooth path.
Some of Edgars Favorites
Colors: Red, White, and Blue because I
love my country To know Edgar is to know
that his military service (USMC serving his
country during World War II with vivid recall
of his experience in the battle of Iwo Jima)
has always been near and dear to his reflections of life.
Food: Poppy seed bread and oatmeal
has become a daily eating ritual for Edgar
because its a good breakfast and it stays with
you. Gussie noted that ever since a recoup
stay at Vancrest Assisted Living, Edgar and
her have enjoyed their daily oatmeal.
Music: Big Band especially Glenn Miller
because its good dance music. Edgar
recalled how his good friend Edward F.
Clark, at a young age, would take over the
Scott Street household with his drum playing.
It occurs to me, in spite of my great affection
for guitar driven rock-n-roll, that growing up
with the Big Band sound may have been an
equal or greater blast.
Car: Edgar simply said my pickup, usually a Ford or Chevy, because he drove
all over the country moving people (North
American Van Lines) and his pickup provided
the best assistance to the moving process.
Sports Moment Ever: Gussie and Edgar
recalled the enjoyment of attending basketball and football games and witnessing many
St. Johns tournament championships.
In all my years my favorite decade
Edgar and Gussie recalled the decade of the
1940s because that is when they began their
family and also because of Edgars military
service from 1941-1945.
My favorite president Presidents Ronald
VanAutreve
Reagan and Harry Trumanadmiration for
President Trumans no-nonsense, always taking responsibility for his leadership, the
buck stops here, and President Reagans
radiance of pride for country. Edgar admired
how President Reagan just took over and is
remembered by a great amount of people.
One thought I offer to young people
Edgar shared the stalwart adage Get an education in order to find a good job. Enough
said.
If I had a magic wand and could fix one
thing in this world, Id Again with simple clarity Edgar offered Peace all over
the world.talk about a nearly universal
sentiment!
My best piece of advice about life One
of the beauties of ageing can be the clarity
of thought about life and Edgar offered,
Freedom is not free but because of the sacrifice of our young men and women.
Edgars parting thought in our conversation was Continue to move forward no
matter what adversities you face.
Good Stuff! Thanks Gussie and Edgar.

Fire deaths higher in 2015

COLUMBUS State
Fire Marshal Fire Prevention
Chief
Frank
Conway
announced Tuesday that 117
people lost their lives in fires
this year, slightly up from
115 in 2014. Chief Conway
also announced plans to
continue the Safe & Sound
public awareness campaign
through the remaining winter
months as a way to combat
the growing number of fire
fatalities.
We are making progress with the Safe & Sound
campaign. Since it kicked
off in October, fire deaths
decreased by 33 percent,
Conway said. However,
even one fire death is too
many, so we will continue
our fire prevention push into
2016.
As we ring in the New
Year, we will also be welcoming colder temperatures.
In fact, January is typically
one of the worst months for
fires, making this fire safety
push even more imperative.
All Ohioans can help pro-
tect themselves from a fire,

Conway continued. Making
sure there are no fire risks
in your home and having
working smoke alarms and a
fire escape plan can help you
and your family stay safe. I
encourage everyone to make
it a New Years resolution to
be fire safe in 2016.
Some ways you can stay
safe as the winter continues:
Dispose of real Christmas
trees when they become dry.
Check holiday lights as
you take them down. Dispose
of any frayed or non-working
stands.
Plug space heaters directly into the wall.
Do not overload electrical outlets or extension cords.
Space heaters need space.
Keep flammable objects at
least three feet from any heat
source.
Turn heaters off when
you leave a room.
Do not use the kitchen oven range to heat your
home.
Install a smoke alarm on
each level of the home, inside
and outside of each bedroom.
Have a fire escape plan

with two ways out.
Safe & Sound was kicked
off in early October with a
goal to reverse the trend of
fire deaths during the winter
months. Home heating fires
are most likely to happen
during this time of the year.
Of all fires with a determined
cause, heating was the leading cause of fatal fires in
2015.
The
Department
of
Commerce and State Fire
Marshals office have several
partners to help fight this
trend. The Ohio Departments
of Administrative Services,
Aging, Agriculture, Public
Safety,
Development
Services Agency and the
Division of Real Estate &
Professional Licensing are
taking an active role in Safe
& Sound. The American Red
Cross is also assisting with
the campaign.
For information about the
campaign and more fire safety tips, please visit the State
Fire Marshals website or

VAN WERT In more
than three decades at Van
Wert County Hospital, Mark
Minick has seen a lot of
changes.
Thirty-three years is a
long time, he said. Its
long enough for any organization to have someone, and
for any someone to have an
organization.
Minick is leaving Van
Wert County Hospital after
serving 33 years at the facility, nearly 25 of them as
Chief Executive Officer. He
came to the city after working and marrying while living in Fort Wayne. But he
was not a complete stranger
to Van Wert.
My first experience in
Van Wert was as a kid,
Minick said. My Dad was a
physician in Indiana, but he
also had standard-bred horses, so wed come over to
the fair and race the horses.
So my first experience with
Van Wert was the fair as a
kid, grooming the horses for
my Dad.
He began as the hospitals Chief Financial Officer
when he moved his family
to the area. He moved up to
CEO just a few years later.
During his time spent at the
hospital, Minick had many
responsibilities.
Obviously my main
focus was the hospital and
trying to address the facilities, and trying to address

Mild, dreary holiday weather has

Eichers hoping for colder, sunnier days
BY LOVINA EICHER
Monday evening: supper is over, and
everyone is relaxing for the evening. It
is Christmas week already. Only a few
days of 2015 will be left by the time you
read this!
Daughter Susan is on a two-week
break from the RV factory. The school
has also closed its doors for two weeks.
My husband, Joe, worked today but is
now off work until January 4 as well.
These two weeks will fly by so fast.
Along with the holidays, we are also
cleaning for church services, which will
be held here in four weeks.
On Sunday our church district had
our annual Christmas potluck dinner
after church services. As usual, there
was more than enough food. There were
five different casseroles, all kinds of
salads and desserts.
Tomorrow is my husband Joes 47th
birthday. His birthday always comes so
close to the holidays. We want to have
our family all together in honor of his
birthday, but it doesnt look like it will
work for everyone until this coming
weekend.
The last few weeks we have had rainy
and dreary weather. This is making it
hard for our solar panels to keep our
battery pack charged. We have been
using a generator to help charge the batteries. It is surprising how just one day
of sunlight helps with the solar panels!
We are always especially thankful for
a sunshiny day since our water, freezer, and other items depend on the sun.
Usually, we would have snowy weather
in December, which makes the whole
world seem brighter. The local newspaper said were breaking records for our
An easy and hearty one-dish meal awaits.
I wish all of you readers a merry

Christmas. May God be with all of you
this holiday season. I wish good health
and safe travels to everyone. God bless
all of you!

mother painted it by hand. (Submitted

warmest December in years.

On Saturday morning, the roads were
covered in ice until the temperature rose
and melted most of it. A lot of vehicles
went off the road due to the slippery
conditions. We had a friend take us to do
some Christmas shopping around noon,
and it was still really slippery. Now
today it rained most of the day, with the
temperature reaching 50 degrees. Joe
turned our coal stove down as far as he
can without it going out, and we still
have to open a few windows. We are
really saving on coal so far. I wonder
if our whole winter will be this mild. I
really am hoping we will get some colder weather, as it makes it nicer to butcher
beef and pork. We will take whatever
God sends for us and be thankful.

When fungicides are most effective for crop production

By JAMES HOORMN
Ag Educator
OSU Extension,
Putnam County
PUTNAM COUNTY
Dr. Pierce Paul, OSU Plant
Pathologist offered some help
insights on fungicide treatment for corn, wheat, and
soybeans at a recent pesticide
applicator certification training meeting for Extension
Educators. Dr. Paul discussed
the use of fungicides for crop
production and when they
are the most effective. On
corn, the number one disease
problem in Ohio is Northern
Corn Leaf Blight (NCLB). In
2015, it was extremely wet
and NCLB was running wild
until the weather got hotter and a lot drier. Humidity
and wet leaf conditions favor
NCLB development.
Fungicides applied at
corn vegetation stage V12 or
12th collar of the corn leaf is
emerging to R1 or silking
is the best and most effective
time to apply corn fungicides
for both disease control and
to improve grain yields compared to earlier applications.
Corn fungicides have been
found to increase green leaf
at harvest and extend the corn
maturity, slowing down corn
harvest but with little or no
increase in yield response.
The best results from corn
fungicides occur when a susceptible corn variety is used
and there is a high corn disease level in the field. Only
about 25 percent of corn
fungicide applications are
warranted and beneficial in
a typical year. Using corn
fungicides every year as an
insurance policy whether it
is needed or not is expensive and environmentally not
justified. Just like with our
consistent and repeated use
of herbicides like glyphosate,
fungal resistance is starting
to occur.
On wheat, apply wheat
fungicides at Feeks growth
stage 8-10 for best results.
Feeks growth stage 8 occurs
when two nodes are visible
and the flag leaf is emerging.
Feeks growth stage 10 occurs
at Boot stage to Flowering. As
farmers increase the nitrogen
application rate, grain yields
may increase but also the
severity of leaf rust increases.
Rusts spread quickly on green
healthy leaves. With higher nitrogen rates, fungicide
applications become more
critical. The real question is
does it pay and the answer
is still unknown. Dr. Pierce
Kitchen Press
Paul is gathering results to

answer those questions. For
now, 1) select the best wheat
varieties that are high yielding and 2) pick wheat varieties that are disease resistant
for the major diseases that
occur in your area.
The number one problem
for wheat growers in Northern
Ohio is Fusarium head scab
and Vomitoxin which has
occurred in about 3 to 4 of the
last five years. Wet weather
and high humidity at the boot
stage to flowering is highly
conducive to head scab infestations. The best approach to
managing head scab is still
selecting disease resistance
varieties. In a recent farmer
survey, 60 percent of growers
thought they were planting a
moderately disease resistant
variety, but only 5 percent
were actually using a disease resistant wheat variety.
About 11 percent of the high
yielding wheat varieties are
actually moderately resistant
to head scab. When asked, 69
percent of wheat growers did
not know what wheat variety
was planted.
What fungicides work the
best against Fusarium head
scab? Most growers (80 percent) indicated they were
using strobilurin fungicides
(Headline, Approach) which
are actually less effective or
ineffective. The best wheat
fungicides were the triazole
fungicides like 1) metaconazole (Caramba), 2) combo

of prothioconazole + tebuconazole (Prosario), and
3) prothioconazole (Tilt)
by itself for controlling
Fusarium head scab.
On Ohio soybean fungicides, the bag is mixed for
control of soybean foliar
diseases. The strobilurins
like Quadis, Approach, and
Headline are good to very
good on Anthracnose and,
Soybean rust with Approach
the only fungicide in this
class good on white mold.
For leaf blights, they are all
only fair. The post- harvest
restriction is 14 to 21 days.
In the triazoles, Top Guard
is the most effective and very
good on Anthracnose and
frog eye and very good to
excellent on soybean rust.
Proline is next with not listed,
good to very good, and very
good for the same three soybean diseases. The triazoles
are only fair at best on the
leaf blights and white mold.
Post-harvest restrictions are
21 days. Topsin-M is very
good on frog eye, good on
soybean rust, but only fair on
leaf blights and white mold
with a 21 day post-harvest
restriction. Endura is only
very good on white mold and
has a post-harvest restriction
of 21 days.
For soybeans, the general
rule is to apply fungicides
when there is a greater than

5 percent disease incidence.
Hot, humid, or rainy summer conditions favor fungus
development. Most soybean
fungicide applications occur
before reproductive phase
R1-R3 (blooming to beginning to set pods) to minimize
crop damage.

Lady Green rebounds

to down rival Kalida
Information Submitted
OTTOVILLE Ottovilles girls basketball team lost its
first game of 2015-16 Saturday after winning its first nine.
The Lady Green replied with a 52-24 Putnam County
League victory over archrival Kalida Wednesday night inside
L.W. Heckman Gymnasium.
The LadyCats (7-4, 1-2 PCL) actually took an 11-10 lead at
the end of eight minutes of action before the Lady Big Green
(10-1, 2-0 PCL) took control with stellar defense and held the
visitors to 13 the rest of the way.
Bridget Landin was the lone player in twin digits for either
team as she scored 10 points, all from the line on 10-of-10
shooting.
Nicole Kramer (3 treys) and Brooke Mangas (2 bombs)
added nine each for the Green and Gold and Madison Knodell
eight.
Brittany Kahle and Kylie Osterhage downed seven each
to pace the LadyCats and Joni Kaufman (2 triples) added six.
Ottoville stays in the PCL Saturday afternoon at Columbus
Grove, while Kalida steps out of conference play at Wapakoneta.

JIM METCALFE
COLLEGE:
OREGON: Ducks have been
playing as good of football as anyone
in the country in the second half of
the season after a struggle early on.
TCU is playing second-team quarterback. Those facts are enough for me.
PENN STATE: Georgia was not
the same without TB Nick Chubb and
that defense isnt the same, either,
enough to get a highly-successful
coach like Mark Richt pink-slipped.
Christian Hackenberg has something
to shoot for as he might be the first
QB taken in the NFL Draft or not.
Nittany Lions win a toughie.
ARKANSAS: The Razorbacks
finally got their running game going
the second half of the season to great
effect. KState can put points on the
board, so controlling the ball and the
clock are the Hogs keys to victory.
WEST VIRGINIA: Arizona
State was one of the disappointments
of college football in 2015-16 as
they were expected to compete for
PAC 12 title. Mountaineers score in
bunches.
PROS
JETS: Jets are fighting for playoff lives, while Bills can only play
spoiler. The Jets are simply better
in 2015 across the board and Bills
are so maddeningly inconsistent.
Fitzpatrick has also been steady,
enough to give them the edge.
CHICAGO: A dome team play-
ing an early-January game in Bear

Weather. Not good for Lions. Lions
definitely took a step back in 2015
and this is the final one.
PITTSBURGH: If Manziel
played, I might have given Browns
a chance. Not with Austin Davis
under center against a very complex
Blitzburgh D. Browns D will
struggle against Big Ben and Friends.
ARIZONA: Seahawks defense
has had issues defending the pass.
Cardinals proved last week they
are more than just a high-powered
offense.
GREEN BAY: Packers coming off a stinging beatdown vs.
Cardinals last week. Aaron Rodgers
and Company should be motivated
a-plenty against a division archrival.
KANSAS CITY: This 1-5 early-season mess has turned into a
9-game winning streak. They just
find ways to win and against hated,
loathed, despised long-time archrival,
they do so again.
HOUSTON: Texans can gain
playoff berth with win in subpar AFC
South. With that JJ Watt-led defense
leading the way, the pick here says
they do.

Jefferson sophomore Devyn Carder forces Lincolnviews Olivia Gorman to shoot over the top Wednesday in the Chatt
Tourney girls title game. (DHI Media/Pat Agler)

ROCKFORD
Lincolnview couldnt have

asked for a better start to
Wednesdays Chatt Insurance
Holiday Tournament championship game in Rockford.
After hitting each of their
first seven shots from the
field, however, the Lady
Lancers went cold - helped
by a smothering Delphos
Jefferson defense - and the
Wildcats used a 19-0 second-quarter run to storm
from behind for an eventual
49-34 victory.
They shot so well in the
first quarter, we just tried to
weather that and continue to
do what we do, Jefferson
head coach David Hoffman
said. It worked out as the
game went on.
Facing
a
relentless
Jefferson defense, the Lady
Lancers looked like a veteran
squad early, breaking pressure and finding open shooters. In turn, those shooters,
primarily sophomore guards
Maddie Gorman and Alena
Looser, were finding the bottom of the net. Gorman connected on each of her four
3-point tries in the opening
period and Looser added two
of her own as Lincolnview
built a seemingly comfortable 24-12 lead by early in
the second quarter.
We were playing loose,
we were playing slow against
their press; we were doing
exactly what we had talked about, Lincolnview head
coach Dan Williamson said.
Girls got the ball ready to
shoot and shot it with confidence; making shots loosens anybody up. That was a
pretty amazing first quarter

- especially for us. Weve
struggled to score all year.
Spurred by a defense that
seeks to contest every pass,
every dribble and every shot,
the Lady Wildcats began
to chip away at the deficit
with Macy Wallaces driving
bucket to pull within 24-14.
On the next Wildcat possession, Gorman picked up her
third personal foul and was
forced to the bench for the
remaining 5-plus minutes of
the first half.
Sensing an opportunity,
Jefferson turned up its defensive intensity even more and
Lincolnview had no answers.
The Lancers (4-5) committed 10 second-quarter
turnovers while going just
1-for-8 shooting in the period. Meanwhile, Jefferson,
with baskets by Taylor Stroh
and Devyn Carder, had pulled
within four. The Wildcats

seized control of the contest
when Wallace and Carder
connected on back-to-back
3-pointers in a span of just 12
seconds, giving Jefferson its
first lead of the game.
Carders driving layupplus-foul with 6.4 seconds
left in the first half completed
the 19-0 Jeffcat run and made
it a 31-24 Jefferson lead at
halftime.
We kept them in front
of us a little bit better, took
the middle away, and it
obviously hurt when No. 13
(Gorman) picked up those
fouls and went out of the
lineup, Coach Hoffman
said. We just did a lot better
job of denying the second
pass and stopping the dribble
penetration.

PARKWAY The Parkway girls
cagers needed to bounce back right
away after Tuesdays 2-point semifinal loss in their own Chatt Insurance

The Lady Panthers got it done behind
the tournament-record-setting double-double of sophomore Haley Hawk

4 ways to recycle your

Christmas tree
By Danielle Brigida,
National
Wildlife
Federation
Each year, about 25-30 million real Christmas trees are sold
in the United States, mostly from
a selection of about 16 species
of tree that we commonly call a
Christmas Tree.
They are decorated with
lights and ornaments, become
backdrops for annual family
photos and serve as a traditional
umbrella for gifts to loved ones.
Ultimately, the day comes
when they need to be disposed
of. Whats often overlooked,
though, is that these trees can
benefit your local wildlife, the
soil in your yard, or even nearby
restoration projects.
Here are some easy ways for
you to help wildlife or enrich
your local area with your trees
after youve enjoyed them (and
removed all the ornaments) this
holiday season.
1. Create a brush pile with
your tree as the base: A brush
pile often consists of leaves, logs
shooting with confidence, Parkway

head coach Chris Weirrick said. Throw
in the rebounding and that was an outstanding effort from her.
The Panthers the visitors on the
scoreboard for the consolation contest
only trailed once at 3-0 on a triple by
Lady Wolverine Aria Cole (setting her
own tourney mark of 5 treys en route to
15 markers) just 35 ticks in. When Hawk
scoring eight points in the opener
hit the 1st-of-2 foul shots at the 6-minute mark, the Panthers had the lead for
good at 4-3. With Hawk setting the pace
inside and their 3-2 zone and occasional extended defense forcing 10
turnovers (23 for the game), the Black
and Gold slowly built its lead. When
Sarah Gehron (7 counters, 5 steals, 4
boards) dropped in a deuce at 20 ticks,
they led 15-8 at the end of one stanza.
The Panthers forced 10 more errors
in the second period and continued to
Wildlife Ohio
and twigs so an old Christmas

tree can make a great base. This
is the easiest thing you can do
with your tree if you have a yard.
It directly benefits the wildlife
in your backyard during winter months because brush piles
and dead trees offer food and
needed protection from the chill.
We have suggestions for how to
make a brush pile and we understand that not all communities
allow for them.
2. Use it in the garden: There
are a number of ways you can
use your recycled Christmas tree
to enrich your soil by composting it or using the pine needles
and boughs to cover your garden
bed. Chop the trunk and branches and break your tree down, this
will allow you to add some nice
insulation to your garden.
3. Decorate your tree for
wildlife: If you love to watch
birds or want a fun project, you
can decorate your tree with edible ornaments or popcorn strings
so that you feed wildlife like
birds and squirrels. This is a
enjoyable activity to do with
kids or the young at heart (me)
and can help wildlife at a time
when food is scarce. Most of the
recipes call for peanut butter,
fresh fruit (like grapes, berries,
take advantage on a steady basis (despite

6 of their own in the period and 11 for
the half) as Cole (2 trios) was the only
Wolverine that could really score. With
Hawk registering seven more points,
they built an 18-point lead 26-8 on
a 3-ball by Gehron at 2:23 before a
Hawk single at 25 ticks accounted for a
29-16 halftime margin.
Parkway maintained a double-digit
lead throughout the third period, bouncing between 11 and 17. The Wolverine
defense trying to force turnovers in
the back-court and front-court with a
trapping scheme at least slowed down
Hawk (4 markers) and the Panthers.
Unfortunately for them, they could only
match the 10 points their foe scored and
went Hawk hit both foul shots at 25
ticks, the Panther lead was 39-26.

or apples), suet and bird seed.

These crafts all make edible
ornaments for wildlife: Heartshaped ornaments for the birds;
Pine cone bird feeder; Suet ornaments.

for wildlife: Edible Wildlife Tree
USFWS; or Edible Christmas
Tree for Wildlife NWTF and
metroparent.
4. Donate your tree to a local
restoration project: There are
all sorts of great local projects
that take in Christmas trees and
use them for restoration projects.
At National Wildlife Federation,
we have talked about using
Christmas trees to help prevent
wetland loss in Louisiana. Other
projects have helped provide fish
habitat, restore dunes, and even
provide electricity or mulch for
cities. If your county does have a
tree disposal program, do a little
digging to make sure you like
where your tree ends up! You

your tree.

When it comes to traditional fishing tackle, theres nothing wrong with
finding different or more resourceful
ways of using it. Sometimes you can
save time and money by making a
few modifications to traditional tackle or by using everyday household
items. Check out these five traditional fishing tackle and gear hacks that
just might help make your life easier.
Use wine corks as an easy and
snag-free way to transport flies. This
is a traditional fishing tackle hack
that I picked up from fly casting
instructor and illustrator, Joe Mahler.
Sure, there are fly vests and fly bags
that you can use, but if you prefer
to fish along the shoreline with just
a couple of your favorite flies, stick
your flies into a wine cork, and then
slip the cork into your pocket. Now
you have an easy way to transport
a few flies without having to worry
about getting poked or snagged.

(Continued from page 6)
With Gorman in foul trouble, Jefferson (8-4) made an

effort to get the ball inside to
sophomore post Sarah Miller.
Millers cut to the basket, on
a smart pass by Wallace, gave
the Jeffcats their biggest lead
to that point at 40-28. The
lead reached as much as 17,
45-28, as Jefferson closed the
third quarter on a 12-0 run,
before settling for the final
15-point margin.
Miller was one of three
Wildcats named to the AllTournament team, along
with Wallace and Mackenzie
Hammons. Wallace led
Jefferson on Wednesday with
14 points while Miller had 10
points and 8 rebounds.
Sarah has been playing
very well lately, Hoffman
said. She wasnt starting the
first part of the year - I usually start the seniors - but it
is hard to keep her out of the
lineup because of the way she
has played; shes been very
good for us.
While the Lancers finished
with 26 turnovers and went
just 5-for-22 shooting (23
percent) after the first quarter, Williamson applauded the
effort given by his team, one
that is without a senior and
featured only one junior.
We battled. We played
hard. Were just not there
experience-wise, Williamson
said. We started well, we
handled the press, but then

Panthers
The closest Dunbar could

get in the fourth was 43-32 on
a Cole triple out of the right
corner at 4:30 but Hawk put
a stop to that with two foul
shots and a pair of baskets
in the next three possessions
to end any serious prospects
of an overall cold-shooting
(11-of-51, 8-of-24 beyond
the arc, for 21.8%) Wolverine
comeback.
When you consider how
we started this season a
20-point loss to now, I
am so pleased with how far
weve come, Coach Weirrick
added. We then won by
20 but lost by 30, 40 and
60 points in the next few
games. Even though we lost
last night, we have shown
steady improvement and I am
thrilled at that. Our young
girls are stepping forward in
their new roles and starting to
adjust more and more.
Parkway amassed the following stats: 16-of-48 from
The Herald 7
we got rattled for 2 1/2 quarters and they pulled away. I

thought in the fourth quarter we handled (Jeffersons
pressure) better. I think we
were just focused on playing instead of worrying about
what happened on the last
possessions. That comes with
experience. All these experiences that we get will help us
get better for the rest of this
year and next year and the
year after that.

Cats start fast to rout Parkway

BY JIM METCALFE
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
ROCKFORD
Jeffersons boys basketball

team had lost a heart-breaker the night before in the
semifinals of the 2015
Chatt Insurance Holiday
Tournament at Parkway High
School.
The main culprit was the
inability to put away Fairlawn
after holding a double-digit
lead and losing in a down-tothe-wire battle.
Wednesday
afternoon
versus the host Parkway
Panthers, the Wildcats would
not need to worry about that
as they basically put away
the young Panthers early en
route to a 63-31 rout in the
consolation bracket.
The Red and White (7-3)
got off to a quick start due to
their mix of pressure defenses that bothered the Panther
(2-8) guards. Though they
didnt force a lot of turnovers
in the opening period (3 of
the Panther game total of 21),
they did harass their foe into
2-of-8 shooting and that got
them off to the races. With
junior Jace Stockwell registering a strong all-around
game (17 counters 3 treys
11 assists, 6 rebounds, 4
steals) and downing a pair of
triples in his 10-point quarter and senior Trey Smith
(33 markers 2 trios 5
rebounds) adding eight, the
visitors on the scoreboard
shot 8-of-16 from the field.
Sage Dugan (9 points) had
the most Panther success
with four points but when
Stockwell drained a trifecta
Wildlife
from the key to beat the horn,

the Jefferson lead was 20-5.
Smith continued to set the
pace for the Wildcats with
eight more in the second
stanza but their scoring pace
slowed due to colder shooting (5-of-15) from the outside. However, due to eight
turnovers by the Panthers and
their own chilly shooting
2-of-11 they couldnt take
advantage. Thus, the Red and
White continued to add to its
lead and when Smith powered in a basket underneath
the hoop with 32 ticks, they
led 33-9.
Smith (7) and Stockwell
(5) continued to do their
damage to the Parkway 3-2
zone in the third period and
the Wildcat defense also
did by forcing seven more
errors. The Parkway shooting 3-of-9 could not
match that of the Wildcats
6-of-11 as the Delphos
bulge kept on growing up
to 48-16 on a Smith hoopand-harm at 30 ticks. When
Justin Barna (5 markers, 6
caroms, 3 steals) put back an
offensive rebound with a tick
left, that reduced the Panther
deficit to 48-18.
Smith dropped in 10 markers in the fourth to finish off
his tournament-record-breaking effort of 63 points in
two games (60 in 2014)
as their biggest lead of 34
was reached late despite
Clayton Aglers 11-point outburst (3 trifectas) with
both coaches emptying their
benches as the buzzer sounded.
It was good to see our
pressure get us off quickly. Weve been focused on

Add a streak of blood to your fishing lures
using red nail polish. You may or may not believe
in buying plugs or crankbaits accented with streaks
of red. However, if you have a few old lures, why
not give them a touch of red nail polish or permanent red marker to see if they happen to get a few
more strikes? While the color red loses visibility in
deeper water, you might be surprised by the results
when fishing in shallow areas.
Use both sides and the middle of your soft plastic stick baits. Once youve rigged and re-rigged
your soft plastic stick baits a few times and your
hook will no longer hold in the plastic on one end,
just flip the soft plastic stick bait around and rig it
through the opposite end. Once youve used both
using our defense to create

our offense and thats what
happened tonight, Jefferson
head coach Marc Smith
explained. We had a lull in
the second period because
we lost some focus as
evidence by us missing free
throws that we usually make
because we fell in love
with the 3 and our staff told
the guys at halftime to keep
playing the game. You always
have to learn lessons and get
better and one concept that
youngsters find it hard to
understand is putting a team
away when you have the
chance. Thats what cost us
the night before. Other than
that, though, there wasnt a
lot of negatives. Our passing
and spacing was very good,
our defensive pressure was
solid and we did a lot right.
You just want your guys to
keep learning and striving to
improve.
Jefferson compiled 24-of52 shooting (7-of-25 downtown) for 46.2 percent and
8-of-13 from the line (61.5%);
33 rebounds (6 offensive)
as Dalton Hicks seized 10;
12 turnovers; and 14 fouls.
Ryan Goergens contributed
four steals and three dimes;
Drew Reiss three assists; and
Brenen Auer three burglaries.
Jefferson made threes
early and we missed a ton of
wide-open looks. We needed
to keep pace early to have a
chance, Parkway head man
Rick Hickman said. We
were coming off our own
close loss and when you have
such a young team basically promising freshmen and
sophomores that are thrown
into the varsity fire you
sides, you can even get more use out of it by rigging it wacky style through the center.
Remove the treble hooks on your fishing
lures and add circle hooks. You can help increase
fish survival rates when using artificial lures by
removing treble hooks and replacing them with
circle hooks. Just remember not to set the hook
when fishing with circle hooks all you have
to do is reel.
Use your nail clippers for line cutters. If youre
preparing for a fishing trip and cant find your line
cutter or scissors, just bring along your nail clippers instead. I cant tell you how many times Ive
attempted to use the line cutter on my pliers only
to find it corroded or locked up, so I always keep
an extra pair of nail clippers around.
Now that you have a few traditional fishing
tackle hacks to try, find a new fishing spot in your
hope they can bounce back

quickly and be confident. We
just didnt have it tonight,
especially when we started the way we did, so we
couldnt keep up. Jefferson
did what they had to do and
we didnt. Again, at most
schools, our guys would
be playing a junior varsity
schedule but we dont have
that luxury. That means a lot
of growing pains and learning on the fly.
Parkway dropped in 12-of41 from the field (4-of-17
long range) for 29.3 percent
and 3-of-11 singles (27.3%);
nabbed 29 caroms (6 offensive) as Agler added seven
and Mason Baxter and Logan
Huff four apiece; and added
12 fouls.
Both teams are done
with the 2015 portion of
their schedule and will next
play Jan. 8: Jefferson hosts
Crestview and Parkway visits

been one of the better quarterbacks
in the league over the past several
weeks.
Detroit- Two disappointing
teams, but the Lions have better
talent.
Cleveland- The Browns should
rise up and win this one at home.
It wont be enough to save Ray
Farmers job, or probably Mike
Pettines, but it might save Johnny
Manziels.
Green Bay- I swear the Vikings
have been on this list every single
week (EN: YEP, PRETTY CLOSE!).
Kansas City- The Chiefs havent
lost since October, so as soon as I
jump off the Oakland bandwagon,
KC will fall flat.
Houston- I have no idea who

will be taking snaps for Houston
(Brandon Weeden, maybe?), but the
Texans are probably better than the
Jags.
New Orleans- Atlanta is prime
for a letdown after beating Carolina
last week and Sean Payton may be
coaching for his job.
=======
DALE METZGER
College Bowls:
Alamo (Oregon vs. TCU);
Winner TCU. This will be a
high-scoring, up-and-down-the-field
game. I feel TCU has a better offense
and a slightly better defense that will
give them the edge and the win.
Taxslayer (Penn State vs.
Georgia); Winner Penn State. With
most of the coaches for Georgia
gone, I think this will be too big of
a distraction for the players and will
give Penn State the edge and win.

Liberty (Kansas State vs.
Arkansas); Winner Arkansas. The
Razorbacks had a turnaround season
and will be looking to put an exclamation point on it trying to give
them something to push them into
next year. Arkansas wins in a close
matchup.
Cactus (West Virginia vs.
Arizona State); Winner West
Virginia. Coming into this year I
was a Arizona State fan and thought
they would do much better than they
did. WV had a better season playing
better teams and this will give them
the edge.
Pros:
New York Jets at Buffalo;
Winner NY Jets. Buffalo has been
up and down and have several injuries to big players. Look for that Jets
defense to lead the way for the win.
Detroit at Chicago; Winner

Chicago. Both teams had bad years
but the Bears have gotten better and
look to improve to try and save some
players and coaches jobs.
Pittsburgh at Cleveland; Winner
Pittsburgh. Lets face it; the Browns
are the Browns and the Steelers
usually have their number. I look for
this to continue and the Steelers win.
Seattle at Arizona; Winner
Seattle. I am going with Seattle not
because they are the better team
but because I look for most of the
Cardinals key players to sit most
of this game. Seattle wins but not
because they are better.
Minnesota at Green Bay; Winner
Green Bay. A division game with
playoff meaning to it is always a
tough one. I give the edge to Green
Bay because the game is being
played on the frozen tundra in Green
Bay and in that environment they are

tough. Packers Win.
Oakland at Kansas City; Winner
Kansas City. The Chiefs are looking
to fine-tune going into the post-season and they look to take it out on the
Raiders. The Raiders have improved
but I think the Chiefs win.
Jacksonville at Houston; Winner
Houston. The reason I go with
Houston is simple because of that
defense. Houstons offense isnt
very good but I love watching that
defense play. Houston wins this one.
New Orleans at Atlanta. Winner
Atlanta. The Saints are not the team
they used to be and they are showing
their age; I look for the Falcons to
go out on a win and look to the draft
to help them get better. Falcons win.

The Corporal Works of Mercy
The corporal works of mercy, or acts of mercy, as they are sometimes called, are
considered essential by the Catholic Church. Other Christian, and non-Christian
denominations also share a belief in these works of mercy. The corporal works
of mercy all focus on bodily needs, the word corporal deriving from the Latin
corpus meaning body. There are also spiritual works of mercy, but for now, let
us focus on the corporal works of mercy. The seven corporal works of mercy are
almost Zen-like in their simplicity, are arguably self-explanatory, and have a clear
Biblical basis. They are: 1) Feed the hungry; 2) Give drink to the thirsty; 3) Clothe
the naked; 4) Shelter the homeless; 5) Visit the imprisoned; 6) Visit the sick; and
7) Bury the dead. Some of these, such as feeding the hungry, are relatively easy
to carry out, at least on a small scale, though they become more problematic on a
larger scale. We should reflect on how we might incorporate these acts of mercy
into our personal life, and then too, how we might support them on a larger scale,
perhaps by supporting organizations which fulfill their mission.
Come, O blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from thefoundation of the world; for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and
you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you
clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.
R.S.V. Matthew 25:34-36
Our local churches invite you to join them for their activities and services.

10 - The Herald
Opinion
Resolutions, goals
are supposed
to be hard
I cant believe another year has
come and gone.
Its that time again. The pressure
is on. What is your New Years resolution?
The top 10 list is out and here
it is:
1. Spend more time with family
and friends
2. Fit in fitness
3. Tame the bulge
4. Quit smoking
5. Enjoy life more
6. Quit drinking
7. Get out of debt
8. Learn something new
9. Help others
10. Get organized
Number one has become one of
my priorities for nearly 20 years
after losing my father to cancer. He
was 63 when he died and I still feel
robbed of all those years with him.
After his death, I made a conscious effort to tell the people I love
just that and to also show them.
Fitting in fitness is almost as
big a challenge as actually exercising for most of us. If only sitting
in front of a computer burned as
many calories as running around the
block. Id be thin and people would
be offering me a sandwich. Hmmm,
sounds counterproductive.
Needless to say, taming the bulge
for many, including me, is like step-
Nancy Spencer
On the
Other Hand
ping into a cage with a ferocious

lion armed only with a feather. We
are the fattest country in the world
and it will likely only get worse. It
is more expensive to eat nutritious
food than to grab a burger and fries.
(The burger thing also takes a lot
less time.)
Number four should be in all
caps. They say it takes the average
smoker four attempts to kick the
habit for good.
Well, it has been confirmed. I am
well above average.
The daunting task of enjoying
life more can be overwhelming.
Some dont know how, some cant
fine the time and quite frankly,
some people just dont want to.
They are far happier griping and
moaning; its within their comfort
zone and allows them to avoid
change.
Number six is a non-issue for me.
I would have to start drinking to
have to stop. Dont get me wrong;
I enjoy a cocktail now and then but
it is not something that occurs more
times in a year than I have fingers.
Getting out of debt will be a
struggle for many. For most of us its
our goal all the time.
Thank goodness for number
eight. I learn something new just
about every day. Im sure they are
talking about something more sub-
stantial like a foreign language

but I have to take kudos when I
can get them.
Helping others is a noble endeavor and many of us do little and
big things every day. If it would
become second-nature for all of us,
how much better could the world
be?
Finally we have reached number
10. Getting organized has been a
goal of mine for several decades
now. I wonder what that says about
me?
Oh well. I wont be sharing my
New Years resolutions this year. It
puts far too much pressure on me to
succeed.
If I say I am going to lose weight,
those around me watch every bite
that goes in my mouth.
If quitting smoking tops my list,
people will ask me how it is going
so many times, only a long drag will
calm my frazzled nerves.
See what I mean?
On the other hand, arent goals
and resolutions supposed to be
a challenge? If they were easy,
thered be no point to making a goal
or resolutions if they are so easily
attained.
So make a resolution but also
make a plan on how to meet it.
Happy New Year: The

Force is with us again
We saw the latest Star Wars
film on Sunday. It was a Bluffton
matinee; a full house of firsttime viewers and several who
had already seen it, since there
was a steady stream of people
who couldnt make it it through
two hours without more popcorn.
Otherwise, it was an altogether
satisfying experience that made
up for the previous three installments in the saga.
Theres been a lot of buildup for this film. I heard interviews with people who recalled
where they were when the first
Anne Coburn-Griffis
film came out (I mean the very
first Star Wars film, before Lucas
added Thomas Kincaid backdrops and distracting CGI.) A couple
of people that I work with made the trek to Columbus to see the
opening of The Force Awakens and went into great detail when
I asked them about their depth of fandom. They went into lineage
and conspiracy theories, as well as speculation of future sagas based
on them.
For myself taking us back to the mid-70s and the first (or
fourth, dependent on your perspective) movie I remember
walking up the stairs in the morning to hear my parents readying
for a day of teaching. The radio dial was always tuned to WJR out
of Detroit. Star Wars commercials and Bicentennial moments interrupted JP McCarthys morning show.
I thought that Star Wars sounded like the dumbest thing ever: a
western in space. My adolescent self told Mom that in no uncertain
terms. She and Dad, however, were excited to see it and did so without me. They loved it and convinced me to see it, too. Along with
the rest of the world, I was hooked. A few years later, Yoda had such
an influence on me that I began researching and making puppets.
Frank Ozs and Jim Hensons creation helped me land summer jobs
teaching puppetry in New England as well as a college gig in the
BGSU costume shop.
When we came out of the theater this weekend, it was raining.
But spirits werent dampened. I heard people chattering about the
next one as they ran for their cars. There were people lined up for
the next showing, and I noticed that those exiting kept mum about
details as they passed the entrance. My co-workers kept mum after
they saw the opening, too. Thats cool the Force is strong with
consideration for those who are willing to pay the price of a ticket.
Spoiler alert: Im pretty sure theres going to be another movie.

The hard reality about survival

Weve simply accepted, as a culture, that innocents will die every day (in
America) to protect our way
of life. Its the price we pay
to ensure no one will ever
take this country by force.
Its a cost we are clearly
willing to pay.
Trevor Hughes, a Denverbased reporter for USA
Today, wrote that conclusion
in a Dec. 3 column, shortly
after the senseless shootings
at the Planned Parenthood
clinic in Colorado Springs
and at the county government health offices in San
Bernardino, Calif.
Because of our steadfast
belief in gun rights, and the
Second Amendment, there
might not be any way to
prevent unintended deaths
by guns, Hughes said.
Guns are an integral part
of American culture and
life, and the vast majority
will never harm anyone. As
a society, however, weve
accepted that some guns will
kill innocents.
It may be hard for some
to accept but a majority of
Americans are OK with an
armed public as the founding fathers wrote. And,

by the way, did you know
suicide is the number one
reason for gun deaths, it is
not homicide, according to
the National Vital Statistics
System.
William McGurn and
Bret Stephens, Wall Street
Journal columnists, recently
wrote: Todays liberalism
cannot deal with the reality of evilit is critical to
understand that the extreme
branch of Islam is not a
protected religionit is a
dangerous ideology. To not
understand that keeps us
from playing the most elementary forms of security
defense.
Our country is so paranoid about being politically
correct, people are afraid of
the consequences of being
wrong and being labeled
xenophobes and bigots. For
national security, people
need to follow the recommendation: If you see something suspicious, say something to the authorities.
In regards to the uproar

JUST A
THOUGHT
New year, new resolutions. Right? Well,
I dont really make them. I would just break
them, anyway.
I know a lot of people look at the start of a
new year as a chance to start over, to stop bad
habits, begin again as a better person. Thats
great. I just dont see why it has to happen on
Jan. 1. To me, its kind of an arbitrary date on
the calendar. Anyone can begin anew anytime,
any day of the week, any date on the calendar.
So Im not making any resolutions that I know
Id break. Instead, Im setting goals for myself,
realistic goals that I might or might not achieve,
but I know the world wont end if I dont.
So this year, I want to be more in the present. I want to spend less time on social media
and more time interacting in real life with real
ing refugees and immigrants

from the Middle East into
the country, isnt the vetting process a form of discrimination? According to a
Reuters report in early 2014,
135,000 Syrians applied for
asylum but only about 31
met the requirements.
While the rules were
eased after that, President
Obama made it clear the vetting process takes as much
as 12 to 18 months. Potential
immigrants must pass stringent background checks and
show they are not a security
threat. We dont want potential terrorists disguised as
vulnerable refugees.
Just a thought on the
necessity and merits of vetting. If several wondering
strangers knocked on your
front door, would you swing
wide the door and let them
in without knowing anything
about them?
*******
Taking a cue from the
above opinion pieces, I
got to thinking about how
Americans, and people
around the world, have had
to deal with the mindless
violence and death brought

on by evil people. In many
parts of the world, deadly
violence is a daily part of
life.
I wonder if people are
becoming desensitized to
the particular cause of
death. People die every day
and whether its five people
nearby (personal) or 15 people caught in a mass murder attack 2,000 miles away
(impersonal), we watch the
news on TV, we shake our
head in disbelief, then we
move on. Death comes in
many forms.
All deaths, no matter the
cause, come too soon. As
a result, we refuse to live
in fear. A Louisiana doctor,
Vernon Valentino, recently
said: A life saved from cardiovascular disease or liver
failure will be a life eventually lost to some other disease or process. A later death
will be no less costly.
I did some online
research. Each year in
America, approximately 2.6
million people die. The numbers are almost exactly 50-50
between men and women,
People Make
the Difference
according to the National
Vital Statistics System and
the National Safety Council.
Does it matter how we
die? You can die as a result
of old age, by accident, due
to poor health or by an act
of murder. Murders, while
shocking, are relatively
rare. Here are some causes
of the 2.6 million deaths in
America. As many people
have accepted, when your
time here is up, its up.
The NSC says over
610,000 die from heart disease and another 600,000 die
from cancer. They account
for 50 percent of all deaths.
A little over 42,000
Americans die in auto accidents. There are about 5.5
million auto accidents each
year. There are about 34,000
fatal crashes that kill 36,000
people, plus an additional
6,000 pedestrian deaths.
Those auto accidents also
cause 2.3 million injuries.
Each year, 39,000 die by
poisoning, 25,000 by falls,
2,700 die in fires, 2,500 die
by choking and 2,000 die by
drowning. All would be considered tragic ways to die.
There are about 33,000

gun deaths per year55
percent of those are by suicide, 34 percent by homicide
and 3 percent by accident.
The figures dont show how
many thousands of gun shot
victims survive their wounds
because of heroic trauma
care efforts.
Movie Director Spike Lee
is promoting a new movie
that looks at gun violence
in Chicago. He contends
the NSC figures are a little
low. He says 88 Americans
(32,000 a year) die every day
as a result of homicide. He
supports stricter gun laws.
Back to the Top Ten
causes of death. Chronic
lower respiratory disease
takes 150,000 lives, strokes
take 130,000, unintentional injuries kill 130,000 and
Alzheimers claims 100,000
of our fellow Americans
each year.
Diabetes kills 80,000,
nephrites (kidney diseases)
kill 50,000, influenza and
pneumonia kill 50,000 and
suicide claims 39,000 via all
methods.
Setting goals not resolutions

people who are physically present. This is
always my goal, and it is hard, especially in
our social media-obsessed society. I love taking
pictures and preserving memories, but I want to
make sure Im enjoying the actual moment as
it happens, not missing it because Im taking
pictures of it.
I also want to start exercising. Not so much
for weight loss, but for help with my depression. Every doctor has told me this, and I just
need to do it. Im so exhausted at the end of
the day that I just lie around after work and
watch reruns of Friends and Seinfeld that Ive
seen 530 times. (They never get old, though.)
Instead, I need to try to work in some sort of
exercise, maybe even while Im watching TV. I
know it would make me feel better.
I want to be nicer to my family. Its not that

Im exceptionally mean, and this is mostly
directed toward Andy. We just both get frustrated with each other and argue over the dumbest
stuff. I want to do a better job of keeping things
in perspective and realize what we fight about
isnt important. I want to appreciate him more
and not take him for granted. I can show my
appreciation better in little ways that I dont
necessarily do now. I do have a lot of patience
when it comes to the kids, but I guess theres
always room for improvement.
I want to get myself into some new hobbies.
I think this would also help my moods. Im not
completely sure yet what I want to do, maybe
get back into drawing and playing the piano. I
just want to invest in a few hobbies to help my
overall well-being. Of course, there are also

various Netflix shows Ive been meaning to
watch, but thats not so much an active hobby.
Still, it does seem to help my mood.
So anyone could really call this a list of resolutions. I dont, only because it makes me feel
more pressure and more likely to break them if
I call them that. I do think its a good thing if we
all set little goals, or resolutions for ourselves,
and it doesnt have to begin at the beginning
of the year. If we all make an effort to improve
ourselves constantly, though, maybe we will
improve the world overall.
Thats a resolution worth setting, and worth
keeping.

Thing explainer by Randall
Munroe
Have you ever tried to learn
more about some incredible thing,
only to be frustrated by incomprehensible jargon? The author uses
line drawings and only the thousand (or, rather, ten hundred)
most common words to provide
simple explanations for some of
the most interesting stuff there is,
including: food-heating radio boxes
(microwaves), tall roads (bridges), computer buildings (datacenters), the shared space house (the
International Space Station), the
other worlds around the sun (the
solar system), the big flat rocks
we live on (tectonic plates), the
pieces everything is made of (the
periodic table), planes with turning wings (helicopters), boxes that
make clothes smell better (washers
and dryers) and the bags of stuff

inside you (cells).
How do these things work?
Where do they come from? What
would life be like without them?
And what would happen if we
o p e n e d
them up, heated
them up, cooled
them down,
pointed them
in a different direction,
or pressed
this
button? Funny,
interesting,
and always
understandable, this
book
is
for anyoneage
5-105
who has ever wondered how
things work.
Angel in Aisle 3 by Kevin West
In the tradition of An Invisible
Thread and Same Kind of Different
as Me, Angel in Aisle 3 is the heartwarming true story of an unlikely friendship that began with a
chance meeting in a grocery store
between a bank executive bound
for prison and an elderly stranger.
When Kevin West
resigned from
his job as vice
president of a
bank in 1998 after
making fraudulent
loans, he spent
the time before
his trial managing
a
family-owned,
small grocery store
in Ironton, Ohio.
Dealing with serious
marriage problems
and with a prison sentence almost certainly
in his future, Kevin was
overcome with remorse
and
without a scrap of hope. It was
at his lowest moment that Kevin
called out to a power beyond himself for help, and God answered
his prayer in the form of an elderly
vagrant in a soiled shirt and tattered
pants named Don. When Don saw
Kevins open Bible on the counter next to the register, the untidy, long-haired indigent took the
opportunity to share Bible wisdom
and life-giving truths that changed
Kevins life. Finding a sense of
peace in their conversation, Kevin
offered Don a few basic groceries
and an invitation to continue their
conversation the next day. What
began as a chance meeting between
two individuals whose lives seemed
headed for certain ruin, turns into
an unlikely bond of friendship that
saved them both.

House of the Rising Sun by
James Lee Burke
From its opening scene in revolutionary Mexico to the Battle
of the Marne in 1918, and on to
the bordellos and saloons of San
Antonio during the reign of the
Hole in the Wall Gang, House of the
Rising Sun is an epic tale of love,
loss, betrayal, vengeance, and retribution that follows Texas Ranger
Hackberry Holland on his journey to reunite with his estranged
son, Ishmael, a captain in the
United States Army. After a violent
encounter that leaves four Mexican
soldiers dead, Hackberry escapes
the country in possession of a stolen
artifact, earning the ire of a bloodthirsty Austrian arms dealer who
then places Hacks son Ishmael
squarely in the cross hairs of a plot
to recapture his prize, believed to be
the mythic cup of Christ. Along the
way, we meet three extraordinary
women: Ruby Dansen, the Danish
immigrant who is Ishmaels mother and Hackberrys one true love;
B e a t r i c e DeMolay, a brothel
madam descended from
the crusader knight
who brought the
shroud of Turin back
from the Holy Land;
and Maggie Bassett,
one-time lover of
the Sundance Kid,
whose wiles rival
those of Lady
Macbeth. In her
own way, each
woman will aid
Hackberry
in
his quest to
reconcile with
Ishmael, to vanquish their enemies, and to
return the Grail to its rightful place.
Precious Gifts by Danielle Steel
Handsome, widowed, sophisticated, utterly charming, Paul Parker
won the heart of a wealthy young
Frenchwomanthe daughter of
an American financier, the granddaughter of a major French art
dealeras his second wife. In two
marriages, he fathered a challenging son and three very different
daughters. But as irresponsible as
he was irresistible, he ultimately
shrugged off the demands of marriage and parenting to pursue life as
an international bon vivant. Raised
by their mother with all the care
and resolve their father lacked, the
three Parker sisters have become
vibrant, self-reliant young women:
Timmie, the oldest, a fiercely dedicated social worker in New York;
sweet, nurturing Juliette, proprietor
of a fledgling bakery in Brooklyn;
and their younger sister, Joy, who
is struggling to build an acting
career in Los Angeles. While they
love their mostly absent, glamorous
father, he has left them with a legacy of impermanence and uncertainty in their own relationships with
men. And with no strong role model
to guide him, Pauls son has gone
from one failure to another, even
while his stepmother makes excuses for him, as he seethes with jealousy of his younger sisters. Now,
after a long illness, Paul has slipped
away peacefully in his sleep, and
his family has gathered together to
read his will. As his final wishes are
revealed, his son is forced to face
reality as an adult. And his daugh-
ters see a new side to their father

one that shows a caring man trying
to redeem himself with a different,
lasting legacy.

14 The Herald
2016
The SAFER Grant funds
100 percent of the cost of
three full-time firefighters,
including wages and benefits for two years; and the
money to fully train six partpaid firefighters to a Level 1
Firefighter.
Firefighter Local 686 gave
its full support to accepting
the SAFER Grant, noting
decreased response time and
more training as positive outcomes for everyone.
Fire Chief Kevin Streets
has reported response times
have decreased from 12-15
minutes to 2-4 minutes and
since July 1, the department
has not had to use mutual aid calls to other departments, allowing more money
to come back to the city for
runs.
Gallmeier said the citys
designation as a Community
Reinvestment Area is also
exciting news for 2016.
The Ohio Community
Reinvestment Area program
is an economic development tool administered by
municipal and county governments that provides real
property tax exemptions for
property owners who renovate existing or construct
new buildings. Community
Reinvestment Areas are areas
of land in which property

owners can receive tax incentives for investing in real
property improvements. This
program permits municipalities or counties to designate
areas where investment has
been discouraged as a CRA
to encourage revitalization
of the existing housing stock
and the development of new
structures.
Any additions or new
construction that increases
the property value can be
eligible under the CRA,
Gallmeier said.
Those seeking to use the
CRAs benefits will need to
go through an application
process and the project must
be approved by the respective
county auditor as a viable
improvement under the CRA
guidelines. Qualifying projects will be eligible for property tax breaks based on the
dollar amount the improvements increase the value of
the property.
For example, in Allen
County, if a project increases
the value of a property by
$10,000, the taxpayer would
not pay taxes on that $10,000
increase. For residential
property, that would be a
savings of $118.92 a year for
10 years and for commercial,
$173.32 a year for 12 years.
The mayor and Safety
Service Director Shane

Coleman are working diligently to move the city to
monthly billing for utilities.
Coleman said the entire project for new meters for all
residents and smaller commercial-level users is estimated to cost $872,000,
which can be obtained by the
city at a zero-percent loan
from the Ohio Public Works
Commission. Coleman said
there are also several grants
administration is looking into
totalling $140,000.
I think this will be great
for the community and we
are ready to fast-track this
thing, Coleman said at a
recent council meeting.
Wed like to award bids July
1.
There are 2,720 water customers. Meters are now being
read by hand with paper and
pencil costing $7,800 a year.
Overall, Gallmeier said
he is pleased with the direction the city is heading and
Coleman is really filling his
position well.
Shane is learning and
growing and really getting
in there and researching
everything so we can make
the best decisions possible,
Gallmeier said. We work
well together and I think the
city is benefiting from that
as well.

Exchange
Gift

Rick called in early August and
asked if I could come, Alex said.
So I booked a cheap flight and made
plans to come.
Alex and Jochem said they discovered earlier they had met prior to their
meeting at the Fisher home.
He was my exchange camp leader, Jochem said of Alex.
Alex was the first exchange student to stay with the Fishers. He was
their guest from July 2012 to Aug.
2013
Jochem stayed with the family for
the 2013-14 school year.
Then we took a year off from
having exchange students, Lori said.
Alex said he became an exchange
student because he wanted to learn
English and meet new people.
I had finished high school but
didnt feel I was ready for college,
he said. Instead he chose to spend
his first year out of school as an
exchange student.
His English was good, Lori said.
Everything here goes fast compared to where I live, Eric said. The
school events and sports all come
together.
Eric said one of the biggest differences he noticed in the U.S. was the
difference in food.
The other two exchange students
agreed with him.
All three said they live close to
markets and get all of their food fresh

daily.
We dont eat things from a box,
Eric said. While in the United States,
the three exchange students try to stay
with this habit.
They couldnt get used to the
idea of grocery shopping for an entire
week, Lori said.
Jochem said he also chose to be an
exchange student the year following
his completion of high school.
I wanted to go into the hospitality
field and felt a year abroad would
perfect my English. Jochem said he
had been to the United States a few
times prior to becoming an exchange
student.
Im from a bigger city, so the pace
here does not bother me, Jochem
said. To me it seems like a slow
pace. Im used to having everything
scheduled.
It is different here, though. It is
flat with lots of corn.
Jochem said one challenge he
faced was not to be so outspoken. At
home I am direct and say what I feel.
Here I learn that sometimes it is better
to hide your thoughts especially when
it is political.
Valeria has been with the Fishers
since August. She will be a senior
next year.
It has always been my dream to
come to America, Valeria said. I
always enjoy seeing new things and
new ways of life.
Lori said their decision to take in

an exchange student is always a family decision. We asked our sons if it
was okay with them, she said. The
family also checked with Eric before
taking in a second exchange student.
I thought it would be selfish of
me to say no, Eric said. It would be
selfish of me to take that experience
away from someone else.
Trevor Fisher said it is really
cool to have an exchange student
living with them. He plans to take a
school trip overseas next year.
Cory Fisher said he has learned
a lot about other cultures from the
exchange students living with them.
Now that Ive been an exchange
student I feel Im more open to work
with students from other nations,
said Eric. He is now majoring in geoscience.
It has been fun coming back and
seeing friends I made here, Jochem
said. I enjoy having friends on the
other side of the world.
Lori said they always try to give
their exchange students as many
experiences as possible. We even
let them ride on a combine, she said
laughing.
The exchange students bring so
much to our family and community,
Rick said. They share their culture
and heritage and our family and the
community share their love and support of the students.
Minick
As far as his successes at
Van Wert County Hospital,
Minick remained humble.
Ive always said, if youre
in a population base thats
growing ten percent a year,
youre going to gain market
share regardless. But we
believe that if we provide
a quality product locally,
people will choose local.
All my successes are team
successes. Most of what we
do, theres no one person
who can produce a happy
patient. The hospital is a
very complex organization. A lot of people touch
patients as they go through,
so to me individual success
is not as important as team
success.
He acknowledged several awards presented to
the hospital, including customer satisfaction awards,
the Crystal Image and
Cornerstone Awards from
the Chamber.
Its simply a recognition of the steady and never-wavering contribution to
the community, he said.
I think the most important
successes are the ones that
involve the entire team, and
everybody working in unison for a common vision,
and when we achieve that,
good things happen.
The future for Van Wert

Hospital has some challenges to be faced, according to Minick.
I think Van Wert
Hospital is facing the same
challenges that most independent community hospitals face. There are larger systems around us, he
continued. I dont think
theres any question that
with health care reform and
some of the reimbursement
methodologies, its going
to be tougher for independent, rural hospitals to stay
independent and rural. Its
going to take good leadership, good products, good
staff to make that happen.
So I dont think that goes
away. I think there are more
predatory systems around
us theyre all around us
and theyve snatched up
a lot of hospitals like us.
I think, if that does happen, they are services that
will be transferred to the
mother ship. If you look
at what typically happens
when these hospitals are
acquired, they will look at
unprofitable services and
they will eliminate them or
consolidate them to another location. So there are
some services that I think
if we are acquired, would
no longer be provided, and
it would affect our employ-
ment numbers. I dont think

theres any question of that.
As those services would
leave the community, so
would those jobs.
Minick, in leaving Van
Wert County Hospital, is
still unsure of what his
future will hold. Speaking
just days before Christmas,
he said, I think Im going
to determine if there is
life after Van Wert County
Hospital. Im not sure that
everybody
understands
that being the CEO of a
hospital is a 24-hour-aday,
seven-day-a-week.
365-day-a-year situation.
Youre always tethered to
your phone, youre aways
tethered to your email,
you get calls on vacation,
all those types of things.
I think intellectually you
make a decision, but you
still have to work through
it emotionally. I promised
my wife, Im going to take
a shot at retirement and see
what happens. He admitted that the final decision
will come only after three
to six months to decompress. Im going to think
things over and decide what
I want to do for the rest of
my life, he said.
After
successfully
leading Van Wert County
Hospital, Minick had no
problem looking back at
Putting Your
World in
PersPective
things that did not go the

way he intended.
There have been decisions Id like to do over,
but regrets, I dont know I
have any regrets, he said.
To me the biggest regret
is not the one that you tried
and failed, its the one you
never tried. I would tell
you, as CEO of a hospital, not every decision you
make turns out the way you
anticipated it. So there are
some decisions that have
been made that didnt work
out, but I never made the
decision that was the really disastrous, big one. Ive
made decisions that didnt
turn out the way I wanted
them to. The majority of
them did turn out, and I
think thats what any CEO
wants. Because youre
making decisions, taking
risks, youre paid to make
decisions, and nobody
makes them right all the
time.
Minick cited the transfer of the hospital property, calling it a challenging
time for the hospital and for
myself personally. But he
finished on a positive note.
What we do is about
people. Our biggest strength
is people. Our biggest challenge are our people, he
added.

This is the second year
the girls have come and visited me and given me such a
nice box of snacks, Linder
said. They come and sit
down and visit and we just
have such a nice time.
Sydney Drerup started the
tradition as a Confirmation
project and her family has
kept it going. The names of
the dozen or so recipients of
the boxes of cheer come from
Landeck Parish and include
shut-ins and other who cant
make it out during the hol-
idays.
Linder said the gifts are
welcome but sitting down
with the delivery elves is
most enjoyable.
They talk about their
lives and ask me questions
and I ask them questions,
Linder said. Its nice to sit
down with young people and
find out what they are doing.
The boxes contain homemade cookies, chocolates,
chips and more. The Drerup
girls use their own money
to purchase the items and
spend Christmas Eve making
deliveries.
