Schools promote food allergy safety

BY STEPHANIE GROVES Staff Writer sgroves@delphosherald.com DELPHOS School is back in session and students returning to the classroom who suffer from severe allergies require a plan of action. From medications to meals, kids, parents and all school personnel must to be equipped to manage a food allergy reaction. Delphos City Schools School Nurse Stacey Ricker said the first couple weeks of school are spent going through emergency medical forms and identifying students at risk. If a student has an allergy food, bee sting, environmental, etc. a care plan is sent home for the parents to complete as soon as possible. These care plans are kept in each office for quick and easy access if a student reports with allergic reactions. Care plans are also completed for students with asthma, seizures, diabetes or Signs outside Franklin Elementary School classrooms any medical condition which note any student allergies. (Delphos Herald/Stephanie may require prompt intervention by staff members. All staff Groves) members who have weekly contact with an affected student are notified of the allergy. Emergency action plans are developed for each student stating if you see this, do this, Ricker detailed. The emergency action plans are made to be easily understood by anyone who may come in contact with the student. The care plans, action plans and emergency medication go with the student on all field trips. St. Johns Nurse Jean Gemmer said every student with allergies to food is different and reactions can range from vomiting to anaphylaxis. The treatment of their allergy symptoms also vary. We follow the physician guidelines and orders, Gemmer explained. We have a Food Allergy Action Plan for our students, a central location for medication and work closely with the parents and student. Ricker said that any medication brought into Delphos City Schools requires healthcare provider instructions and signature on the schools med-

ication forms. We have specific forms for the life-saving medication epinephrine, which is the injection administered for anaphylactic reactions to allergies, Ricker explained. All students with severe peanut allergies have epi-pens [Epinephrine] in the school office. Some of our students have Epi-pens for use for severe allergic reactions, Gemmer detailed. We follow the individualized plan for each student from their physician. Ricker said that designated staff members are trained and certified on administering the injection and other medications by the school nurses. Depending on the physicians orders, some students may carry their own epi-pens and some students may have two epi-pens in the school clinic or office. If a child is permitted to carry their own epipen, Ohio law states a back-up pen must be provided to the school office. If an epi-pen would have to be used in this District, 911 will always be called by the staff. See ALLERGY, page 10

Locals may see a familiar face during one set of the auditions but they might not recognize the voice. When Brad Wannemacher sang in the St. Johns High School choir, no one really noticed. The 2009 graduate was more concerned with golf than singing. I really like to sing but I didnt have the confidence then to let everyone hear my voice, Wannemacher said from Nashville in a phone interview with The Herald. I decided that if I was going to change my life, I had to change. I put myself out there and won a spot on the show. This is the craziest thing Ive ever done. It was amazing and incredible. Wannemacher said the notoriously ruthless X Factor judge Simon Cowell and the rest were very cordial and genuinely interested. I told the judges I was from Delphos, Ohio, and they all said, Where in the heck is Delphos, Ohio? They asked me what I was doing and when I told them I was majoring in recording industry, they were impressed, he said. Wannemacher is a senior at Middle Tennessee State and while hes in the heartland of country music, he prefers pop/rock. Most people come to Nashville to make a name in the country music business, Wannemacher said. Im just here to study and get my degree. I like pop/ rock music. See X FACTOR, page 10

Should you be your childs Facebook friend? As the focus of family has turned to the glow of the screenchildren constantly texting their friends, parents working online around the clockeveryday life is undergoing a massive transformation. Easy availability to the Internet and social media has erased the boundaries that protect children from the unsavory aspects of adult life. Parents often feel they are losing a meaningful connection with their children. Children are feeling lonely and alienated. The digital world is here to stay, but what are families losing with technologys gain? As renowned clinical psychologist Catherine SteinerAdair explains, families are in crisis around this issue, and even more so than they realize. Not only do chronic tech distractions have deep and lasting effects, but children desperately need parents to provide what tech cannot: close, significant interactions with the adults in their lives. Drawing on real-life stories from her clinical work with children and parents, and her consulting work with educators and experts across the country, Steiner-Adair offers insights and advice that can help parents achieve greater understanding, authority and confidence as they come up against the tech revolution unfolding in their living rooms.

Penelope is going to need all her heart and soul to navigate some tricky family issues and gain the outcome she desires: to bring them all back together. Penelope is a Junie, Ramona and Clementine all wrapped into one special package. Road Trip by Gary and Jim Paulsen This is a quintessential Paulsen novel with a lot of story packed in to a compact 100 pages. Ben and his dad are going on a road trip to rescue a border collie and as their trip ensues, a colorful band of travelers develop. First Ben invites his thuggish friend Theo, and of course, they take Atticus, the resident border collie. Add Gus and his school bus (new transportation) and Mia, a waitress who needs to get out of town and you have one motley crew. Plus, someone sinister is following them. This is a fast and fun read. Titanic: Voices From The Disaster by Deborah Hopkins Hopkins, known for treatment of nonfiction for young people, has sewn together the story of the sinking of the Titanic using testimony from survivors, witnesses and photos, newspaper articles and other actual accounts of the tragic disaster. Though the story has not changed, this book presents a whole new way to experience and understand the events as they unfolded. Readers will feel like they are transported inside the story. The Beatles Were Fab (And They Were Funny) by Kathleen Krull and Paul Brewer You knew that the Beatles were talented, hip and way cool, but did you know they were funny? Humor was an outlet that allowed them to deal with the sudden mania and press of fans everywhere they went. This large and colorful picture book tells the story of their immediate rise to fame, and some of the fun answers they gave to interviewers. Question: If one of you stopped being a Beatle, what do you think youd do? George: I think Id train elephants in a zoo!

Point of View

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

DEAR EDITOR, September is National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. Gold in September stands for kids with cancer. An opportunity is available to you to raise awareness and support for these special kids. An organization called CureSearch holds an event called CureSearch Walk to raise money and awareness. This is a nonprofit organization that funds life-saving research through the Childrens Oncology Group (COG). There are more than 200 childrens cancer centers across the U.S. Some of these centers include Nationwide Childrens in Columbus, Toledo Childrens Hospital and St. Judes Hospital. CureSearch is a research organization that is strictly dedicated to research of childrens cancers. Ninety-six percent of all money raised goes directly to research. Several individuals who partner with CureSearch are the Jeff Gordon Childrens Foundation and major league baseball player Craig Breslows Strike 3 Foundation. There are several walks to be held in the next few weeks. Today, one is being held in Toledo and one is taking place on Sunday in Fort Wayne. Dayton is hosting a walk in mid-September and Columbus will offer one on Oct. 4 in conjunction with an evening at the zoo. For a complete list of walks or to donate, please log on to www.curesearchwalk.org. In memory of my granddaughter, Alivia, who passed at the age of 3 in 2011, I have donated to CureSearch. Wont you join me in raising money and raising awareness for the need to find cures for childrens cancers? Sincerely, Betty Shobe Delphos

The plagues of Michigan

I know you guys are going to think Im a big whiner. The last two times I have gone to Michigan, bugs were involved. We spent Labor Day weekend by the lake and no, it wasnt fishflies it was sand fleas. I know, I know; I shouldnt be such a baby but I was the only one they bit. Im serious. I had like a hundred (perhaps a light exaggeration) bites from my knees down and no one else had a single nibble. I even doused myself with insect repellent and they were still biting me. I put socks on. The little buggers just chewed a ring around my ankles above the socks. The bites just look like little red dots until you get the skins reaction to the sand flea slobber. Yes, I said slobber. Sunday morning the itching started. Im not sure how many of you have had poison ivy but the sensation is similar. No matter how much you scratch, you still itch. Itch scratch. Itch scratch. It becomes maddening all-consuming. I can remember a summer from long ago when Kristen Macwhinney Ulm and I were at our cottage with our parents. We took the John boat to the beach a lake over and sunned ourselves and swam and had a wonderful afternoon. We made our way back to the cottage and had supper and when we were settling in for bed, the itching started. You know, the slobber thing. Kristen, who is a bit taller than I, had, and this is no exaggeration, more than 100 bites on her legs; we counted them and gave up at more than 100. (We had lain in the sand for hours that afternoon and the sand fleas had a feast!)

Wasted time
Bertrand Russell said, The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time. I want to believe this is true, especially, of course, on the days that I waste a lot of time. I generally try to be productive and feel like Im contributing somehow, but then there are those days that I simply cannot motivate myself. No matter how much I tell myself I should get off the couch, turn off the TV, get off the Internet, etc., I just cannot bring myself to do it. I am inert. Then, at the end of the day, I feel guilty for not doing anything meaningful. I guess what Bertrand Russell meant is, I shouldnt feel guilty about those wasted days. I shouldnt because I enjoyed them. I enjoyed being lazy, taking a break from work to possibly watch some mind-numbing television or catch up on celebrity

JUST A THOUGHT
by Sara Berelsman
gossip. Maybe on those days I dont help to save the world, but I think we all need some days like that to do nothing once in a while. Besides, sometimes when we think were wasting time, we really arent. Our brains are always working, after all. As a writer, everything I encounter is potential for writing a piece. Even when Im being unproductive by watching TV, I can get an idea for an article. Studies have shown that the same thing can happen to individuals in all sorts of professions. You can be standing in line at the bank and something you see can trigger an idea to present at your next work meeting. Sometimes when we think our brains are off, they come up with the most creative ideas. I can relate to this. I dont get my best writing ideas when I force myself to write. I can barely get anything out then. I get my best ideas when Im driving my car or taking a shower, just zoning out. Not the exact scenarios in which youd imagine a writer to brainstorm, but thats how it happens. Once my mind is relaxed and not under pressure to come up with something good, thats when the somethings good start coming. If I tell myself, Im going to write today, and I have no motivation or inspiration, it wont happen. Ill sit, staring at a blank screen forever. Something has to inspire me in order for me to write, and that usually happens when Im far away from a computer. What about you? Can you relate to this at all? In what ways? Think about it, maybe the next time youre wasting time. Just remember, its not really wasted at all.

I had quite a few, too, but she got it much worse. Guess where this said cottage was. Give up? Michigan! This past weekend I put up with the itch and went about celebrating. On Monday, I was pretty much over the whole thing and ready to set my legs on fire. I showed them to Jill and she pretended to be concerned but I saw the humor in her eyes. She quickly set about leafing through a file she keeps with helpful hints such as what to put on insect bites. She found one that recommended Crest tooth paste. It didnt just say tooth paste, it was very specific. Jill dug around and came up with several travel tubes of the stuff and I quickly slathered up. In no time, the itch was gone. It was www.edwardjones.com replaced with a pleasant tingling and minty www.edwardjones.com freshness. Why had I not said something Sunday? When we got home Monday I quickly went to the drug store and bought some cortisone cream. Ice packs worked nicely, as well.

Whats next?
When visitors come to the museum for their second or third time, the question that usually pops up is: Whats next? Of course there is always the nagging problem of finances and if small independent museums like ours arent careful, thats all they will ever work on. Fortunately our board of directors keeps evolving and with that comes fresh ideas and lots of new challenges for me. We have an excellent core group that is concerned about the future next year, maybe even the next five to 10 years. I must admit that when I started this project over 18 years ago, I never dreamed that we would have come this far. Just this week, we had a large group of visitors from Germany that had come to spend time with the people of their sister city, St. Marys. We had a large group of sisters who toured the museum as part of their annual family get together. The organizer was from Dayton and she chose to spend a few days in Delphos. She had sisters from Arizona, Colorado and California. Can you imagine someone planning a family vacation to visit Delphos, especially if they dont have any relatives in the area? You would be surprised at how many people have stopped in while traveling the Lincoln Highway as part of the 100th anniversary of the highways completion. OK, so you are still waiting for an answer to Whats next? The answer is quite simple. It is time we, as a town, get organized. Many years ago, I wrote an article about all the attractions in Delphos, the hidden gems that would bring people to our hometown. I heard you chuckle. Attractions you say? Where shall we start? How about with the two museums? Do you realize in order to see everything there, you would need an entire day? Need a place to stay? The Microtel is right here clean, well appointed and at a reasonable cost. For each tour we have run from MPH tours, there have been people who have come to spend the previous night at the Microtel. They always say it is a relaxing way to start a vacation. What else do we have? Restaurants that will satisfy so many different tastes: Mexican, Chinese, Italian, Greek, steak houses, delis, coffee houses, specialty chicken, all the major fast food chains and local pubs, saloons and watering holes. Have any of you been to all the parks in Delphos lately? Stadium Park, the town pool, Garfield Park, the Hanser Pavilion, the shelterhouses and how about the Westrich Little League fields? Have you seen all the new equipment and landscaping that was installed by our local Kiwanis Club? How about the running track at the high school and the enhancements made by the Stadium Club? We have treasures in our midst like the Zane Grey birthplace, the Ostendorf Hotel, the Dienstberger House and lets not forget about the magnificent church buildings and Oscar Velasquezs outdoor murals. Just take the intersection of the Lincoln Highway and State Route 66 where you will find the Veterans Memorial Park, a Lincoln Hwy control station sign and the full-size murals on the Best One Tire and Delphos Herald buildings. Have you checked out the library and its new annex? I was just there the other day and even with all the cutbacks, there are free services you dont normally find in communities our size. You have an interest in art? Its all around us from Mike Bendeles magnificent metal doors on St. Johns Church to the restorations of the late 19th/early 20th-century architecture of numerous buildings on Main Street. Have you seen the awesome three-dimensional murals done by the Delphos Area Art Guild that are in the Postal Museum? Just stop and look at the Central Block Building, the former Remlinger Drug and the Shenk & Lang buildings, the offices of JoAn Smith, Ace Hardware, the former Phelan Hotel and how about the Museum of Postal History? Anyone interested in antiques, coins and collectibles? Check out the Trading Post, the two antique malls or the boutiques and specialty stores of clothing, furniture, consignments and restaurant supplies. Youd never guess how many places you can find pizza, baked goods or ice cream in Delphos. We are fortunate to have social clubs and banquet halls fit for a party of any size and they are fully-equipped, clean and reasonably-priced. We have a recreation center open 12 months a year. Our cemeteries are visited by genealogists and they are the final resting places for people like Dummy Kim and canal boat Captain Crenshaw. Canal enthusiasts have walked the banks of the waterway and climbed on the locks that were part of that history. Everything I have mentioned is just inside the city limits of Delphos. So whats next? We need to gather all the principal people involved with these attractions along with the ones I may have overlooked and we need to develop a travel and tourism organization right in the heart of Delphos. Every homeowner, every business person, everyone who can see what I am talking about needs to come forward to lend a hand, some time and maybe even a few dollars to put Delphoss star on the map and bring people from all over the world to see how great life can be in Americas Friendliest City. What do you say? Will you join me? If you are interested, drop me a note, put a note on our website (www.postalhistorymuseum.org) or give us a call at 419-204-5315 and leave a message. If we all did just a little, what do you think could happen? Last but certainly not least, we have several seats still available for our trip to Monticello and Williamsburg slated to depart on Sept. 28.

Have you said yes to organ donation?

BY KAITLYN THOMPSON Community Outreach Coordinator Lifeline of Ohio

Becky Miller of Landeck holds a picture of her late brother, Mark, who provided a heart to a transplant patient upon his death. (Submitted photo)

On June 1, Lifeline of Ohio launched its latest campaign encouraging Ohioans to register as organ, eye and tissue donors. The Have You Said Yes? campaign celebrates registered donors who said yes and asks them to share why they made the decision to register as a donor on a virtual wall of heroes. The online wall brings awareness to the critical need for organ, eye and tissue donation and thanks those heroes who registered their decision to donate in the Ohio Donor Registry. Becky Miller of Landeck celebrates the heroes like her brother who gave gifts of life when they became organ donors in their death. She thinks its important to thank registered donors for saying yes because of the life-saving and healing legacy theyre choosing to leave. My brother Mark was a star athlete in Allen County and while he never got the opportunity to become a husband or a father, instead he became a hero and a life-saver as an organ donor, Miller said. My family and I just received an update that my brothers heart is still beating in his recipient 17 years after Mark died and donated his organs. Dont underestimate the power you have to save lives when you register as a donor. Registered donors can visit the wall of heroes at www. haveyousaidyes.org and leave a message describing why they said yes to donation. Posts also can be made via Facebook, Twitter and Instagram (#sayyesohio) and all respondents are entered into a contest with a weekly giveaway, such as tickets to a Columbus Crew soccer game. Lifeline of Ohio hopes putting a face to the 56 percent of Ohioans who have said yes will bring awareness to the critical need for donation and inspire others to register their decision to donate. Say yes today when you renew your license at your local Bureau of Motor Vehicles agency or by visiting www. lifelineofohio.org.

Wildcats pound Panthers 41-0

By TREY SMITH DHI Correspondent news@delphosherald.com PAULDING A victorious Jefferson Wildcat football team improved to 2-0 overall and 1-0 in the Northwest Conference Friday night on the road against the Paulding Panthers in a 41-0 game plagued by injuries, cramps and penalties. The Red and White came out clicking on all cylinders, getting off to a quick 7-0 lead on a 61-yard dash by senior tailback Zavier Buzard (25 rushes/208 yards, 2 TDs). On Pauldings first possession, the Cats defense held strong, as they did most of the night, and forced the first of many 3-and-outs. Head Coach Bub Lindeman was very pleased with the defensive effort. Coach (Ben) Rahrig and the defensive staff did an outstanding job getting our young men ready for the task at hand, said Lindeman after the game. Our guys had an excellent week of practice and executed our game plan very well. The ensuing DJHS possession resulted in another touchdown by Buzard, this one a pitch from the 2 yard line. Early success for Delphos came to a screeching halt, however, due to a major injury to a member of the Panthers kick return team. The lengthy delay to take care of the injured Paulding player seemed to stall the momentum for the Jeffcats. Although the offense seemed to falter, the Jefferson defense (5 sacks, 24 yards lost) capped off another stop with a sack by sophomore linebacker Dalton Hicks. The Wildcats seized the opening and scored for the third time in the half on a quarterback scramble by senior Austin Jettinghoff (4 rushes/ 28 yards, 1 TD; 9/15 passing for 161 yards, 1 TD). Both teams continued to trade blows for the remainder of the quarter, though unable to capitalize on any drive. With little time left before halftime, Jefferson drove down to the 3 yard line while also using up as much clock as possible. It seemed as though the Wildcats were going to score again and put the game out of reach. The Panther defense thought differently as they made a tremendous goal-line stand and kept the Cats out of the end-zone. Thats what happens when we play as a team, as a group of all 11 guys out there playing their role, stated a somber Paulding head coach Kyle Coleman. Its frustrating for us as coaches because we see glimpses of great play but yet we lack the ability to play that way on a consistent basis. Delphos went into the break with a 21-0 lead over a disheartened Panther team. With a new fire of intensity, the Red and White came out of the half and took complete command of the game. A major block by Tyler Mox (3 receptions/57 yards, 1 TD) opened the path for fullback Jordan McCann and re-ignited the Jeffcat offense. Later on the same possession, a jet sweep hand off to Ross Thompson (2 rushes/21 yards, 1 TD; 4 receptions/79 yards) resulted in Jeffersons fourth touchdown of the night. Although the defense for Delphos held strong for the majority of the game, the offense flickered out again near the end of the third quarter. With a comfortable 28-0 lead, the Red and White headed into the final stanza. The fourth period consisted of one touchdown by Mox on a diving catch in the end zone off a pass from Jettinghoff from 10 yards away. Kicker Kurt Wollenhaupt added his fifth and final extra point of the night to increase the Wildcat lead to 35-0. The Jefferson JV finished out the remainder of the game and sealed the final margin of victory on a 4-yard TD run by Aaron Parkins (8 rushes/71 yards, 1 TD). Jefferson returns to Stadium Park next Friday night in a big NWC encounter against the also undefeated Bluffton Pirates. The Panthers travel to Antwerp, still looking for their first victory.

Thunderbirds run past Blue Jays in grid action

By JIM METCALFE Staff Writer jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com DELPHOS No matter what offense or defense you might run even in todays more-prevalent spread offenses it still comes down to blocking and tackling. In the mind of St. Johns gridiron coach Todd Schulte, his team sorely lacked the latter Friday night against growing archrival Lima Central Catholic. So much so, the visiting Thunderbirds downed the host Blue Jays 21-6 in nonleague action under the Stadium Park lights. Its a simple as that. It doesnt matter how fast you are or your opponents are; if you cant block them, youre not going to do much offensively, Schulte explained. Its not just up front, either; its all over. Were not blocking people. We also missed a lot of tackles on defense. Its as simple as that. The Blue Jays (0-2) got the first big break, with senior Jason Wittler recovering a Colin Stolly fumble at the visitor 44 on the games fifth play from scrimmage. St. Johns senior tailback Tyler Jettinghoff (15 rushes, 65 yards) ran for eight and then the Jays couldnt get a first down, turning the ball over on downs at the 36. Thats our first turnover all year and we give up the eight yards on the first play. We then owned the next three plays and got the ball back, LCC coach Jerry Cooper said. That set the tone for us defensively all night. When we took the ball right down the field and scored, that set the tone for us with our offensive line. The T-Birds (2-0), using their myriad weapons in the backfield, smartly drove those 64 yards in four plays, set up by a 38-yarder by Dimitri Floyd (7 totes, 82 yards). At the host 13, senior speedster Mykale Rogers (7 rushes, 65 yards; 2 catches, 105 yards) took a Jet sweep to the left and showed great patience in and out of his cuts, veering toward the pylon for the tally. Stolly added the conversion for a 7-0 edge with 7:17 showing in the first. The LCC defense, who held the Jays to 130 yards of total offense (all rushing), forced a 3-and-out and took over at the host 48. It took them 13 plays to go the distance all but one a run and finished it off on a 4th-and-goal 1-yard Stolly sneak over right guard. Stollys kick made it 14-0 with 11:14 left in the half. The Jays gained a first down on their next drive but punted away, with Ben Wrasman (4 punts, 38.8-yard average) pinning the visitors at their 13. The Jays forced a punt by Stolly and commenced at their 47. They garnered the LCC 30 in four plays but two sacks of quarterback Nick Martz (7 rushes, 1 yards) threw them back 19 yards and they had to punt. The Thunderbirds ran out the final 2:03 of the half.

The Jays punted on their first possession of the second half but Wrasmans 50-yard boot was downed at the LCC 4. Two plays hence, including a motion call that put the visitors at the 3, Stolly dropped straight back and found Rogers on a crossing route (left to right on the right-side numbers at the 16; he turned up and no one was going to catch him as he completed the 97-yarder catch-andrun score with 8:20 showing in the third. Stolly made it 21-0. LCC got a turnover on the Jays first play from scrimmage after junior Evan Hays returned the kickoff 25 yards to the 40 as Cameron White picked off a pass at the visitor 44. They ran off 10 plays and 4:58 before turning the pigskin over on downs at the host 23 as the Jays forced a 4th-and-8 incompletion by Stolly. The Jays started to get something going, using five running plays to attain the guests 35. However, two incmpletions ended the threat. The Jays forced a punt and then used a 33-yard Hays punt return to set up shop at the guests 36. Jettinghoff had two runs for 18 yards, senior fullback Luke MacLennan (6 rushes, 61 yards) ran for 13 and then Jettinghoff took a toss off right tackle and would not be denied the end zone, plowing through the defense for the six with 8:51 left. A bad snap on the conversion kick left the score 21-6. See JAYS, page 7

Friday Local Round Up

at Eggerss Stadium handing the host Cougars a 42-0 loss in the Western Buckeye League opener. The Titans (2-0, 1-0) opened the games scoring with a1-yard Logan Rieman run in the first period, with Mitch Niese adding the conversion. Rieman threw a 22-yard scoring toss to Zac Kuhlman later in the period and Niese added the conversion for a 14-0 edge. The visitors put 21 points on the board in the second stanza: a 10-yard Rieman run; a 2-yard run by Brad Raser; and a 9-yard pass from Rieman to Tyler Zender; with Niese adding all the point-afters for a 35-0 halftime edge. O - G tacked on the final score in the third as Shane Schroeder ran in a 10-yarder. Van Wert (0-2, 0-1) is at Shawnee Friday. Thursday Correction In Thursdays Local Roundup regarding the Jefferson at Ottoville volleyball matchup, the Herald inadvertently reported that Jefferson won the contest. In fact, the host Lady Green won the matchup in four.

Information Submitted LadyCats whitewash Musketeers in PCL soccer KALIDA The Kalida girls soccer team took a big step toward a Putnam County League title with a 4-0 shutout of Fort Jennings Friday night at Kalida Soccer Stadium. Scoring goals for the host LadyCats (4-0-1, 2-0-0 PCL) were Makenna Vorst with two and one each by Brittany Kahle and Jackie Gardner. Kahle, Gardner and Joni Kaufman had assists for the hosts, who dominated the offense with an 18-2 shots on-goal edge.

OHIO DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES DIVISION OF WILDLIFE Weekly Fish Ohio Fishing Report! CENTRAL OHIO Deer Creek Lake (Fayette/ Madison/Pickaway counties) Crappie are providing the action here right now as we wait for the saugeye fishing to pick up later this month; fish woody structures using a jig or minnow suspended by a bobber. Remember, at this lake, crappie must be nine inches or longer to keep. Baitfish abound right now, creating a challenge to anglers. Channel catfish are being caught in the upper end of the lake using cut bait in the evenings. Indian Lake (Logan County) Saugeye are being caught along south bank and around the Moundwood and Dream Bridge areas; try crankbaits and worm harnesses trolled near the bottom, with jigging also being effective. Anglers are catching largemouth bass in the canals around cover; try spinner baits, tubes and crankbaits. Bluegill are still being caught in the channels; use wax worms, nightcrawlers or crickets. Try fishing the lily pads for crappie; use a minnow or jig and fish openings in the lily pads. NORTHWEST OHIO Maumee River (Defiance County) - Anglers have been catching saugeye below the Independence Dam using small jigs and twister tails. The dam can be accessed from Independence Dam State Park, off SR 424. Try using beetle spins (white or chartreuse), or inline spinners. Ottawa River (Allen County) This river, which passes through the city of Lima, is a good place for channel catfish. The best locations

are from downtown to the Collett Street railroad trestle; nightcrawlers, chicken livers, raw shrimp and commercial catfish baits are all popular with local anglers. Fishing access is mainly limited to the shoreline; however, some anglers do use small boats or canoes. Bucyrus Reservoir #4, Outhwaite Reservoir (Crawford County) Located in central Crawford Co., 2 miles northeast of Bucyrus off SR 98, this 160-acre reservoir contains populations of saugeye, yellow perch, largemouth and smallmouth bass, channel catfish, crappie and bluegill. The best areas are around the artificial fish attractors spread liberally around the reservoir, those near the fish shelves located at the southeast and northeast corners or the weed bed at the northeast side. For bass, try minnows, plastic worms, tubes, crank baits, small jigs and crayfish. Saugeye can be caught using smaller jigs tipped with a twister tail, spinner baits and minnows. There is shoreline access around this entire reservoir, as well as two modern ramps located at the southwest corner; access is from SR 98. There is no motor size restriction but a No Wake zone exists throughout. NORTHEAST OHIO Berlin Lake (Stark/Mahoning/ Portage counties) - Anglers worked hard to put some walleye on ice this weekend; the bite was inconsistent but walleye were being caught. Anglers had their best success trolling shad raps and flicker shads; although the bite was slow, many anglers picked up enough crappie to make a meal while trolling these same setups.

Ardner Open

A total of 19 foursomes helped make the 12th annual John Ardner Memorial golf outing a great success, with proceeds benefitting the Delphos Stadium Club. The Ardners: Shawn and Jennifer and Nolan and Carey thank all those participating and the many local sponsors of prize donations. (Submitted photo)

We have another season of these highly-anticipated, highly-rated according to Nielsen, ESPN.com., Yahoo and EVERY other measure! Pigskin Picks. I plan on having at least four regulars: Yours Truly, Dave Boninsegna, Bob Weber (one of my correspondents) and Brian Bassett, former sports editor of the Times Bulletin but now a simple college student; along with at least one guest. This week, it will be Charlie Warnimont, sports editor of the Putnam County Sentinel. I will also open it up to you, my 10,342.1 faithful readers. If you want to be a part of this, e-mail your name to me at jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com. I will put you on the list and will send you the games early in the week. Dave won it last fall/winter with a 120-74 overall mark (57-29 in the college ranks, 63-45 in the National Football League) the scum! I came in second with a 111-83 mark (45-41 in college, 66-42 pros). This year, its war! The GPs combined for 96-68 (45-22, 51-46). Here are the games: COLLEGE: Florida at Miami (FL); Oregon at Virginia; South Carolina at Georgia; Texas at BYU; Notre Dame at Michigan; Cincinnati at Illinois. NFL: Atlanta at New Orleans; Cincinnati at Chicago; N.Y. Giants at Dallas; Philadelphia at Washington; Miami at Cleveland; Green Bay at San Francisco. -

PIGSKIN PICKS

Wildcats

(Continued from page 6)

JIM METCALFE COLLEGE FLORIDA: Gators have a snarling defense and stuff still hangs over the Hurricane program. That gets old. OREGON: I dont think the Quack Attack will miss Chip Kelly much, especially with still-loaded roster. SOUTH CAROLINA: Mr. Crowder got taken to the wood shed for being so gassed last week. He takes it out on the Bulldogs, especially with QB Aaron Murray unable to beat a ranked team and Dawg D isnt its usual self. TEXAS: Must-win for a Longhorn program missing from the national conversation. MICHIGAN: Irish coach Kellys earlier comments sting in the Big House as great rivalry comes to an end for foreseeable future. CINCINNATI: Illinois rebuilding, while Bearcats seem to be reloading. PRO: ATLANTA: Should be a wild one. Saints defensive woes will take a toll against Falcons. CHICAGO: Should be an oldfashioned knockdown, drag-out war. Perfect for Da Bears in Soldier Field. DALLAS: No excuses for Romo anymore. Giants defense has issues. WASHINGTON: Interesting to see what Eagles break-neck offense means for their defense. RGIII will be just fine. CLEVELAND: Browns are due to win an opener. SAN FRANCISCO: Kaepernick ripped apart Packers de4fense last January. Did anything change? -

Jays

DAVE BONINSEGNA Florida: This isnt the Miami team it used to be. Florida should roll to move to 2-0. Oregon: Is beating Nicholls State worthy of jumping OSU in the poll??? Virginia isnt Nicholls but the outcome will be the same. South Carolina: This should be a good contest but can the Bulldogs stop the Gamecocks running game? Hate to say it but I am saying not and the Gamecocks will come away with the win. Texas: BYU lost at Virginia, while the Longhorns didnt start well vs. New Mexico State. Texas will need a faster start this week and get it as they beat BYU. Notre Dame: After Brian Kellys statements earlier (he backed off later) and the Irish canceling its scheduled dates with Michigan from 2015-17, Wolverines will have that in mind. Cincinnati: Cincy makes it 2-0 on the early season against the Big 10. NFL: New Orleans: Brees for sure is the better of the two QBs in the game; that should be enough to give the Saints the win in week 1. Cincinnati: Bengals should get off to a good start with a win over Da Bears. N.Y. Giants: The Cowboys are 0-4 against the Giants at the now-named AT&T Stadium and with Eli Manning at the helm, I think they make it 0-5 after Sunday. Washington: Redskins try to spoil Chip Kellys debut as Eagles coach. I am giving the edge to Washington; I think RGIII will just outplay Vick and the Eagles. Cleveland: This could be the snoozer game of the week. Toss-up game but I will go with the Browns just because they are at home. San Francisco: Colin Kaepernick accounting for four total touchdowns in the 49ers 45-31 divisional dismantling of Green Bay last year. As much as I hate to pick this one, I will take the 49ers. -

BOB WEBER Florida going with Florida Oregon going with Oregon Georgia going with Georgia Texas going with Texas Michigan cant believe it but Michigan Cincinnati going with the Bearcats New Orleans going to be a great game but Drew Brees and the Saints Cincinnati the Bengals Dallas the Cowboys Washington the Redskins Cleveland the Browns San Francisco the 49ers BRIAN BASSETT Florida - Miami is going to struggle this year. Oregon - Virginia is not there yet but close. South Carolina - Georgia cant win the big game. Texas - Texas is underrated so far this year. Michigan - night game at the big house. Cincinnati - Illinois is just not very good. New Orleans - the Saints are going to be hungry with Sean Payton back. Cincinnati - Andy Dalton and A.J. Green have had another offseason together. Giants - Dallas is an average team at best. Washington - Will be jacked to have RG3 back. Cleveland - Browns will be sneaky good this year. San Francisco - Just going with the home team here. -

CHARLIE WARNIMONT Florida - I saw where the Gators were upset that they werent favored by an ESPN analyst for the game. Should be enough motivation to beat their in-state rival. Oregon - Not many teams can fly across the country and return home with a win. The Ducks still flying high despite the coaching change. Georgia - Another tough game for the Bulldogs after opening with Clemson. Bulldogs win and make their fans happy after opening-game loss. Texas - Heard Texas is looking for an improved 2013. Getting a road win against BYU would be a step in the right direction. Cincinnati - Bearcats pounded Purdue last week. Get another win over a Big Ten opponent this week. NFL New Orleans - Sean Payton returns for the Saints and they take a step towards reclaiming the division crown. Chicago - An interesting first week matchup between two teams expected to do well. Just going to go with the home team. Dallas - Only because its Dallas. Washington - RG III returns to the Redskins and gives them a big boost in week one. Cleveland - Browns have struggled in season openers since returning to the league. Time to start a new trend. San Francisco - 49ers were one play away from possibly winning the Super Bowl last year. Have a feeling they would like to get another shot.

CINCINNATI Joey Votto emerged from his deep slump when the Reds really needed him. Votto singled and hit a 2-run homer on Friday night, leading Cincinnati to a 3-2 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers that kept its momentum going in the NL Central race. The 2010 NL MVP has been having a tough time, watching his batting average fall to .300 after he led the league at .361 on May 24. The Reds got a run in the fourth when Votto ended his 0-for-13 slump with a single off Stephen Fife, Jay Bruce singled and Ryan Ludwick grounded into a double play. Votto hit a 2-run homer his 22nd off J.P. Howell (2-1) in the fifth inning for a 3-2 lead. This is one game, Votto said. Youre only as good as your last at-bat. His last at-bat on Friday? The decisive homer. Joey coming through was a big thing for us, said Mike Leake, who went 7 2/3 innings. When youre in a slump, its tough not that his was a big one. Im glad for him. Manager Dusty Baker asked Votto if he wanted a day off Friday to regroup. Votto decided to play and broke out.

Defensively, we played very well outside of a couple of big plays. They are explosive but I felt we held them down, Schulte added. I dont want to take anything away from them they are a good team with a lot of athletic players and lots of speed but when youre offense cant get anything going, your defense is on the field too much. Rogers returned the ensuing kickoff 14 yards to begin LCCs drive at the 24 with 8:44 left. Despite two holding penalties for 20 yards, the Thunderbirds came up with two big plays 29-yard and 17-yard runs by Rogers in compiling an 18-play game-sealer.

Colleen Schulte at the fair with her ducks.

Junior and Missys parents are driving them 12 hours away from their hometown to The University of Getting Out of My Parents House. Sure, there are plenty of local community colleges and state schools they could have attended, but then they would have to come home every night to live with those stupid cash machines who raised them. Theyd sooner marry someone their parents hate than live at home another day. And they will, but first Junior and Missy will have to waste $200,000 getting useless degrees in Binge Drinking and Hooking Up, or as colleges and universities like to call it, Communication Studies. The hotels this week are full and the stores are packed with college freshmen and their parents shopping for just the necessities, the things you really need to get good grades in college -- full-length mirrors, hairdryers, juicers and Keurig coffee machines. All the things the parents wished they had when they went to college but couldnt afford. Junior and Missy wont be staying in a dorm, silly; their parents have bought them a condo near campus where they can really crack the books -- and host nightly beer pong parties. What is truly stunning is how plain it is that the incoming freshmen cannot stand being in the presence of their parents. Its as if the parents, especially the moms, are wearing an invisible forcefield that smells like skunk. If their teenager gets too close to them, the kids nose wrinkles and their eyes go rolling. You can read the expression as if it

Ask Mr. Know-it-All

were on a banner in foot-high letters over their head: Why cant you just give me all the money I need and leave? I can do everything myself! Everything, that is, except earn the money that makes the whole scam possible. The parents dont seem to notice that all their buying isnt making the kids love them more; if anything, it makes the rift bigger. Parents are tossing money down a deep hole of resentment that gets deeper with each dollar spent. What would the freshman class look like if they had to spend a year or two working before they could run away from home: if they were required to pay for some of their own tuition, instead of working for that year or two after they flunk out freshman year? What if college entrance requirements were teacher and employer recommendations instead of SAT scores? That, of course, will never happen. Higher education is all about thinking outside the box. Except when it comes to higher education. Just because it hasnt worked for years, and it gets more unaffordable each year, why change it? What college would students choose if they had to pay for it? The University of Getting Out of My Parents House or the community college down the road? Sure, everybody wants to go to a good school, to go to their first choice, but is the math they teach down the street any different than the math they teach far away? Is Geology 101 different at Harvard than it is

at UCLA? Is biology different in Nebraska than it is in Florida? If it is, somethings very, very wrong. Why is there an English department at any school? If you got an 800 on your SAT, its a good bet that you already speak English. For all that money, shouldnt you be learning something you dont know? Say, French, Farsi or Finnish? What are you going to do with that English degree? Teach English to people who already know it? That must be tough. How did Shakespeare and Dickens ever get by without one? How did they make it in life without ever studying Shakespeare or Dickens? Or maybe they did because they never went to college. Still dying to get a degree in Pop Culture from some Ivy League school? Go to community college for two years and then transfer over. Youll still get your highstatus scroll and youll also have saved enough money to have a big, splashy wedding to someone your parents despise. Thatll show them.

Q: I like Kevin OConnor as host of the TV series This Old House, but I also liked former host Steve Thomas. What happened to Steve? Why did he leave the show? -- B.T.M., Stuart, Fla. A: In 1989, Steve Thomas replaced the original host of This Old House, Bob Vila, who had hosted since 1979. The shows producers credit Steve with the successful launch of a new series, Ask This Old House. After 14 years, Steve decided to move in a different career direction. In late 2002, Kevin OConnor was a vice president at a Boston bank. He and his wife appeared on an episode of Ask This Old House, seeking help in removing paint-encrusted wallpaper from their 1894 Queen Anne Victorian home in north Boston. He was later asked if he wanted to help out. He, of course, thought he was wanted for his financial expertise. Instead, the shows execs asked him to do a screen test. He took over for Steve Thomas in 2003. Steve has since made many appearances on TV talk shows, hosted Renovation Nation and is currently involved in Habitat for Humanity.

After World War I, several attempts were made to revive the shows, but they all failed.

Before entering the world of entertainment, Tim McCoy (1891-1978) was decorated in World War I. During World War II he rose to the rank of

Obama sets Tuesday speech; big challenges on Syria

VLADIMIR ISACHENKOV Associated Press ST. PETERSBURG, Russia Beset by divisions at home and abroad, President Barack Obama candidly acknowledged deep challenges Friday in pursuing support for a military strike against Syria from international allies and the U.S. Congress. He refused to say whether he might act on his own, a step that could have major implications for the U.S. as well as for the remainder of his presidency. The White House laid out an intense week of lobbying, with Obama addressing the nation from the White House Tuesday night. I did not put this before Congress just as a political ploy or as symbolism, Obama said, adding that it would be a mistake to talk about any backup strategy before lawmakers vote on a use-of-force resolution. The president spoke to reporters at the end of a two-day international summit, where he sought backing for a strike against Syria in retaliation for a deadly chemical weapons attack against civilians. But Obama appeared to leave the summit with no more backing than he had when he arrived. In fact, Russian President Vladimir Putin, a staunch ally of Syrian President Bashar Assad, said he was the one with support from the majority of countries attending the Group of 20 meeting. Putin insisted anew that Obama seek approval from the United Nations before taking military action, despite the fact that Russia has blocked previous Security Council efforts to punish Assad throughout Syrias bloody 2-year civil war. The White House tried to counter Putins assessment by releasing a joint statement from the U.S. and 10 other countries announcing support for efforts undertaken by the United States to enforce an international prohibition on chemical weapons use. The statement did not specify military action against Syria, but administration officials said the intent was to show international support for that type of response. The countries signing the statement with the U.S. were Australia, Canada, France, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Turkey and the United Kingdom. Putin said the U.S. push for military action has been supported only by Turkey, Canada, Saudi Arabia and France. The use of force against a sovereign nation is only possible as self-defense and Syria hasnt attacked the United States and on approval of the U.N. Security Council, Putin said. Those who do otherwise place themselves outside the law.

Why fewer working-age Americans are working

WASHINGTON (AP) The drop in the unemployment rate in August to a 4-year low was hardly cause for celebration. The rate fell because more people stopped looking for work. More than 300,000 people were no longer working or looking for a job. Their exodus shrank the so-called labor force participation rate the percentage of adult Americans with a job or seeking one to 63.2 percent. Its the lowest participation rate since August 1978. Once people without a job stop looking for one, the government no longer counts them as unemployed. Thats why the unemployment rate dropped to 7.3 percent in August from 7.4 percent in July even though 115,000 fewer people said they had jobs. If those who left the labor force last month had still been looking for work, the unemployment rate would have risen to 7.5 percent in August. Pretty disappointing, said Beth Ann Bovino, U.S. chief economist at Standard & Poors Ratings Services. You saw more people leave the job market and fewer people get jobs. Not a good sign. Back in 2000, the participation rate hit a high of 67 percent. At the time, women were pouring into the labor force. But womens participation fell modestly through the mid2000s then dropped sharply from late 2009 through 2013. Womens participation rate was 57 percent last month, down from a peak of 60 percent in 2000. For men, the participation rate fell last month to just below 70 percent its lowest point on records dating to 1948. Mens participation peaked in 1949 at 87 percent and has declined gradually in the decades since. In a 2011 report, the Congressional Budget Office noted that the recent drop

Car prices hit record as buyers load up on options

WASHINGTON (AP) Employers are sketching a hazy picture of the U.S. job market for the Federal Reserve to weigh in deciding this month whether to reduce its stimulus for the economy and, if so, by how much. The economy added 169,000 jobs in August but many fewer in June and July than previously thought. The unemployment rate fell to 7.3 percent, the lowest since 2008, but only because more people stopped looking for work and were no longer counted as unemployed. All told, Fridays report from the Labor Department pointed to a lukewarm job market: Hiring is steady but subpar. Much of the growth is in lower-paying occupations. And many people are giving up on their job searches in frustration. The proportion of Americans working or looking for work reached its lowest point in 35 years. The sluggish jobs report reflects a U.S. economy thats still struggling to accelerate. The economy grew at a modest 2.5 percent annual rate from April through June, and most analysts think its weakened since then. The Fed has been buying $85 billion a month in Treasury and mortgage bonds to try to keep home-loan and other borrowing rates low. Many economists have expected the central bank to taper its monthly purchases after it meets Sept. 17 and 18. Fridays data may lead the Fed to slow its bond buying more gradually than it might have

Muddled US jobs picture to weigh on Fed decision

otherwise. Soft employment gains only muddied the waters, said James Marple, an economist at TD Economics. While the data did not take September tapering off the table, it does suggest that the Fed will use a lighter touch. Marple and some other economists say they now think the Fed may announce this month that its trimming its bond purchases by $10 billion rather than earlier expectations of $20 billion. The revised job growth for June and July shrank the previously estimated gain for those months by 74,000. Julys gain is now estimated at 104,000 the fewest in more than a year and down from a previous estimate of 162,000. Junes was revised to 172,000 from 188,000. In the past three months, employers have added an average of just 148,000 jobs. For the first five months of the year, they had added an average of 199,000. Stock prices rose and fell through the day as traders pondered the job reports impact on the Fed and tensions over the prospect of U.S. military action against Syria. The Dow Jones industrial average finished down nearly 15 points. Broader stock averages closed essentially flat. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note slipped to 2.93 percent, from 2.95 percent before the jobs report was released. One possible concern for the Fed is that most of

in womens participation was particularly steep among those with dependent children and well-educated women married to highearning men. Another factor in the declining participation is that the oldest baby boomers have reached retirement age. But Craig Alexander, chief economist at TD Bank Group, says demographics cannot explain the amount of decline in labor force participation. Many Americans without jobs remain so discouraged that theyve given up on the job market. Others have retired early. Younger ones have enrolled in school. Some Americans have suspended their job hunt until the employment landscape brightens. A rising number are collecting disability checks. Its not necessarily people retiring, Bovino says. Its young people going back to school rather than taking their chances on a weak job market. Labor force participation for Americans ages 16 to 19 was just 34 percent last month. Thats near their record low of 33.5 percent set last year. It isnt supposed to be this way. After a recession, a brightening economy is supposed to draw people back into the job market. But it hasnt happened. Labor force participation certainly shouldnt be at current levels, Alexander says. There arent enough jobs being filled. Employers are hiring about 4.3 million people a month before layoffs, dismissals and resignations. In 2007, before the Great Recession, they were hiring 5.2 million a month. There are three unemployed people, on average, competing for each job opening, compared with 1.8 when the recession officially began in December 2007.

Sea of blue disabled Allergy (Continued from page 1) placards in many US cities
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) A blue placard dangling from the rear-view mirror is the equivalent of parking gold for drivers in many cities they can park for free and for as long as they want. Now theres a gold rush on for them. And as the number of vehicles displaying a disabled placard has soared with an aging population and loosened eligibility standards, cities are seeing the impact in more congested downtowns and the loss of millions of dollars in revenue. Now, officials are pushing back, tightening standards for those who can get the placards and making sure that the only people who get the privilege are those who really need it. It was astonishing to see car after car after car with the disabled placard, said Portland City Commissioner Steve Novick, who is seeking a solution to the problem in a city with a reputation for bicycling and mass transit but still reliant on the car. Its common in the city to find blocks in which there are more cars with placards than without. Stroll by a parking meter and you will see the placards through the windshields of both beaters and BMWs. In the citys annual survey of roughly 9,000 downtown meters, just over 1,000 vehicles had disabled placards in October 2012, a 72 percent increase in five years. In the core area of downtown, a third of the vehicles had placards. As a result, Portland lost an estimated $2.4 million in meter revenue last year, and the lack of turnover frustrates store owners, deprives the severely disabled of spaces near their destination and forces drivers to circle blocks in search of a spot. Authorities issued 186 citations for unlawful use of a permit the fiscal year ending June 30, but believe there is more abuse. Cheaters are tough to catch because the placard is generally valid and the driver, who may be borrowing one, is only at the car for a couple of minutes during the workday. Experts say the easiest way to stop abuse is to make the disabled pay the meter, especially those not in wheelchairs. Places such as Philadelphia, Raleigh, N.C., and Arlington County, Va., did so and there was more turnover in the spots.

the hiring in August was in lower-paying occupations. This continues a trend that emerged earlier this year. For example, retailers such as clothing stores, groceries and electronics outlets added 44,000 jobs. Hotels, restaurants and bars added 27,000. Temp hiring rose by 13,000. Dean Baker, co-director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research, says lower-wage industries have been generating a disproportionate role in hiring because many unemployed people have become desperate enough to take such jobs. Aside from their low pay, many of those workers are being limited to fewer hours than theyd like. In a weak labor market, workers cant find anything better, Baker said. Phillip Bailey, 39, took a job three months ago in kitchen prep at a McDonalds in Detroit after his unemployment benefits ran out. But his new job pays just $7.40 an hour, and hes usually scheduled for only about 15 to 20 hours a week. Hes working many fewer hours than he did in previous jobs. Bailey used to conduct home energy audits, which found ways for people to reduce utility bills. This is a lot less than Im used to making, he said of his current job. Its impossible to get by. The August jobs report showed that hiring in higher-paying fields was more mixed.

DETROIT (AP) Americans are paying record prices for new cars and trucks, and they have only themselves to blame. The average sale price of a vehicle in the U.S. hit $31,252 last month, up almost $1,000 over the same time last year. The sharp increase has been driven by consumers loading cars up with high-end stereos, navigation systems, leather seats and safety gadgets. Its a buying pattern that began around two years ago with low interest rates that let buyers choose pricier cars while keeping monthly payments in check. And automakers have also offered cheap lease deals that include fancy options. Add in booming sales of expensive pickup trucks, and you get record high prices. But those conditions could soon change. Although sales are expected to keep rising, automakers say the next wave of buyers who replace older cars will be more costconscious, shunning expensive radios and cushy seats to reduce payments. Ford is starting to see that trend in pickup trucks, and is adding a lower-priced model to its topselling F-Series line. Most car buyers shop based on expectations for a monthly payment, with the average running around $450, said Jesse Toprak, senior analyst with the TrueCar.com auto pricing website. Since bank interest rates run as low as 2 percent and automakers offer no-interest financing, buyers now have a choice between a lower payment or a nicer car. Unlike rising mortgage rates, shorter-term auto interest rates have remained fairly stable. If you can keep your payment the same and get more car, most consumers in the U.S. just get more car, said Toprak, who calculated the record average price. The average price, he said, went up about $1,400, or 4.5 percent, in the past two years, far faster than normal. The result is a dream scenario for automakers and car dealers: People are paying record high prices just as demand returns to levels not seen since the Great Recession. Its also a dream for people like Zachary Bier, a 26-year-old engineer and sales representative in New York City who just leased a $52,000 BMW 335i to replace a 3-Series with an expiring lease. He set out to match his old $650-per-month payment with hopes of getting more features.

Training is given to our staff and teachers regarding allergic reactions and we are the first responders to an emergency, Gemmer detailed. We follow the medication guidelines given to us by the physician and if needed, would call 911 immediately. Gemmer said that an allergen enters the body by contact, ingestion, inhalation or injection. The allergenic markers from the wall of the allergen make antibodies. This complicated process happens the first time the person is exposed to the antigen. However, allergic reactions are not always seen until after the second exposure. It is important to remember that allergic reactions can happen at any time within minutes to hours after exposure, Gemmer explained. Gemmer said some of the most common food allergens are milk, eggs, wheat, shellfish and nuts, although, there are students who are allergic to cinnamon and mushrooms. Ricker explained that once an allergen enters the body, antibodies begin to form and recognize the offending agent (antigen) and bind to it. An inflammatory response is then triggered which causes several chemicals to be released in the body, including histamine. If enough chemicals are released due to the offending antigen, an anaphylac-

tic reaction will occur, which could be deadly if medical intervention is not initiated. Difficulty breathing, smooth muscle constriction, dilating blood vessels, flushed skin, hives and decreased blood pressure are all symptoms of an allergy response, Ricker detailed. When it comes to preventative measures in the cafeteria, schools have adopted protocols to reduce exposure and contamination. In the past we have had peanut allergy tables specifically designated for our severe students, Ricker detailed. We require the students to wash their hands before and after lunch to prevent cross contamination. Gemmer said there is a nut-free table in the cafeteria for students with any type of nut allergy. Any foodstuff containing peanut butter is packaged separately outside of the building to prevent cross-contamination. The tables and floors are decontaminated daily and as needed, she said. We instruct the students and parents about nut allergies and prevention both verbally and in writing. Tables are scrubbed down before a known allergy student enters the cafeteria and snacks/treats have been eliminated in the classrooms. Landeck Schools Kitchen Manager Rene Schrader said that in the past 20 years, she has seen peanut allergies become

more frequent. With a dairy allergy, kids get juice instead of milk, Schrader detailed. Prior to using butter on the food being served, we set portions aside for those who have the dairy allergies. Signs may be posted outside of classrooms notifying all who enter of a peanut allergy in the classroom. Some parents ask the school nurse to provide educational seminars to classes of children with life-threatening allergies, which brings an awareness to the risks and how to identify the signs and symptoms of reactions. Children are encouraged to do other things such as lunch with the teacher, bring in pencils, erasers or other trinkets to celebrate birthdays, holidays etc. Ricker said the elimination of treats brought into school has been very well received by the Delphos City School community. It takes a little of the worry off our staff members and parents of children who may share a classroom with a peanut allergy student, Ricker stated. It significantly cuts down the risk of exposure in the classroom and saves lives. We are thrilled it is going so well! Parents of children with peanut allergies can send their children to school in the morning with great confidence the risk of exposure in the classroom is greatly reduced, alleviating some parental worries of their child being exposed.
