2014 books, the community is invited to

a public forum at 6:30 p.m. Sept. 23 at
VFW Post 3035 to discuss some exciting
possible changes for the 2015 event.
We have some possibilities that I
think Delphos will want to hear about,
American Cancer Society Income
Specialist Jamie Orozco said. The community really needs to come out that night
and give us their input. We have listened
to feedback from the committee, survivors
and team captains and ACS has answered
with more flexibility and options.
Committee member Sue Apple hopes
to have a good crowd for the forum.
The entire community supports Relay
DELPHOS The deadline to turn in

money for the 2014 Relay For Life of
Delphos came and went Sunday and when
the dust settled, the local Relay was just
$97 shy of its $79,000 goal.
My personal goal in my head was
$70,000 so what we did was wonderful, Sandy Suever, longtime committee
member said. I consider it a success just
because of the survivor participation we
have. Thats why we do this.
While the ink has yet to dry on the
in one way or another, Apple said. It

takes everyone to make a successful event
and we want as many people giving their
input as possible.
Delphos started Relaying in 2002 and
the events have raised more than $1
million toward research to find a cure.
In 2014, 23 teams raised money and 21
pounded the pavement during the Relay.
K&M Tire led with the highest team
total of $21,9312. K&M does a corporate
match.
The date for the 2015 Relay has not
been set and ACS has not released the
goal.

SPENCERVILLE Spencerville Police

Chief Darin Cook reported to council members Tuesday night that just in the last five
days, residents had been experiencing scam
artists calling and posing as IRS agents and
public utilities account managers requesting
payment on back income tax payments and
overdue accounts.
The first scam involved an individual
posing as an Ohio Power representative
requesting the business customers information, money on a refillable Money Pak Card
and to call a specific phone number with the
card information to access and withdraw the
money off the card.
The caller does not have the company
name (utility service provider) and cannot provide the customer with an accurate
account number, Cook said. Two businesses in the area have been affected by this
scam.
Cook said the second scam involved
an individual posing as an IRS agent who
wanted to verify an individuals information. That individual knew he had not
received any correspondence from the IRS
and realized if it were the IRS, they would
already have all the information they needed.
Some people (the targets of the scam)
are having a rough time financially, they
get scared thinking their utilities will be
shut off and they make the arrangements to
pay the scammer, Cook said. None of the
public utilities work in that manner.
Cook advises anyone experiencing phone
calls of this nature to first call the utility
company using the number on their billing.
They should also call the Better Business
Bureau and their local police department.
Cook said the calls are untraceable and
the thieves use computers to run the scam.

at Livestock Auction

egebert@timesbulletin.com
VAN WERT The 2014 Van Wert County Junior Fair

Livestock Auction began with the sale of a $2,500 gallon of milk. That sale occurred when around 30 bidders
joined in to buy the milk which benefits the six 4-Hers
who raised dairy cattle for judging this year. Each of the
six netted $436.67 for the sale.
Once the milk was gone, the bidders settled in to
buy the animals and give gifts to the 4-H participants.
The grand total of premiums and meat price totaled
almost $240,000. The premium total itself was the
second-highest since the turn of the century, $145,320.
That total bested the 2013 premiums of $140,138. The
record for premiums was set in the 2012 auction at
$146,210.

Apple: Some nude

shots taken from
stars accounts
LOS ANGELES (AP)
Apple said Tuesday that hackers obtained nude photos of
Jennifer Lawrence and other
female celebrities by pilfering images from individual
accounts rather than through
a broader attack on the companys services.
Meanwhile,
numerous
sharing sites removed images of the stars apparently in
response to copyright complaints.
However, experts say there
is no way to fully scrub the
photos from the Internet and
the images could keep popping up in the future, forcing celebrities to file repeated
complaints as they play a
cyber-version of the arcade
game whack-a-mole.
Apple said its engineers
have determined that hackers
breached individual accounts
and didnt obtain general
access to a pair of the companys services iCloud
and Find my iPhone. The
tech giant said it released the
results after conducting 40
hours of investigation.
Law enforcement inquiries
likely will take days or weeks
to complete.
The FBI offered no details
on its efforts to identify people responsible for stealing
the images that were posted
on image-sharing site Imgur.
com, the social networking
sites Reddit and Twitter, and
other websites. But the agency
said Monday it was aware of
the breach and addressing the
matter.
Similar investigations have
involved the use of search
warrants and digital forensics
to determine how hackers
obtained everything from Paris
Hiltons contact list to nude
photos of actresses Scarlett
Johansson and Mila Kunis.
Lawrence, an Oscar winner
for her role in Silver Linings
Playbook, contacted authorities after the images of her
began appearing Sunday.
By Tuesday, a Reddit
thread that had been compiling links to images of nude
photos of Lawrence and other
celebrities had been disabled
due to a copyright claim, the
website said.
Users reported difficulty
finding working links to the
images on other sites.
Representatives of Twitter,
Reddit and Imgur did not
respond to messages seeking
comment.
Apple Inc. said it was
cooperating with the FBI and
urged users to adopt stronger
passwords and enable a twostep authentication feature to
prevent data thefts.
Naked images purported to
be of other stars also were
posted, although the authenticity of many couldnt be
confirmed.
Mark Rasch, a former federal prosecutor who specialized in computer crimes, said
investigators will focus on
whos responsible for the theft
of the photos, the tools they
used, and the idiosyncrasies of
how they program.
There is a digital trail,
Rasch said. What you hope
for (is) the people arent very
good at what they do, that they
screw up, that they (upset)
other hackers. Or that they
leave a trail.
For The Record
30 teens escape from

Nashville detention center
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) Thirty teens
overwhelmed their minders at a juvenile
detention center by simultaneously breaking
out of four dormitories and then crawling
under a weak spot in a chain-link fence. By
Tuesday evening, seven were still on the run.
Police caught up with some walking along
roads or coming out of the woods. Some
turned themselves in, including one at the
guard shack Tuesday evening. And some were
swiftly returned to the detention center by
their own families for their own good.
He broke loose, he was gone, but hes
back now, said LaWanda Knowles, whose
nephew joined the escape. I just want to
know that hes here safely and hes OK I
dont want the police jumping on him, nobody
beating on him or nothing.
The teens ages 14 to 19 left
their rooms at the Woodland Hills Youth
Development Center at about 11 p.m. Monday
night and gathered in common areas. With
just 16 unarmed adults to keep watch over 78
youths in 12 dormitories, the staff was overwhelmed, said Tennessee Department of
Childrens Services spokesman Rob Johnson.
Staffing was lighter during the overnight
hours, so presumably they had planned for
that, Johnson said.
The groups of young men kicked out metal
panels under the windows of each dorm to
get into the yard, and then ran around for a
while before some started slipping through the
chain-link fence that encircles their campus.
The fence is buried 8 inches deep into the
ground, but the teens found a spot where they
could slip out underneath it.
None of the staff were hurt, and initially
they simply called other staffers for backup
to help bring the teens back into the dormitories. Once they spotted the teens escaping
the perimeter, they alerted police, and the
Tennessee Highway Patrol joined the search.

While juvenile records are sealed, police
released the names and mug shots of the remaining eight fugitives, all of whom are 17 or 18
years old. None are convicted killers, said
Melvin Whitlow, the facilitys superintendent.
Knowles said police had come searching
for her nephew around 5 a.m. at his home
about 8 miles from the facility. The teen
showed up about two hours later, and briefly
saw his parents and family, she said.
He wanted to see his mom, and nieces and
nephews and his sisters, so he came home, she said.
But when we found out that he ran, I jumped in my
truck and put him in there and brought him back.
Once back in custody, the teens who
escaped were being taken to juvenile court to
face potential escape charges, officials said.
Most of the 78 juvenile delinquents held
at the center Monday night had committed
at least three felonies, Johnson said, but the
facility is more like a high school with security than an adult prison. There are no guard
towers or barbed wire.
The teens stay in single rooms that for their
own security are locked on the outside, so that
only those with keys can enter. But they can
push their room doors open if they need to.
They wear blue pants with white or light gray
T-shirts, with no markings.
The center has a school, offers vocational training and career counseling, and works to move
teens to less restrictive settings, according to a state
website. It holds them until their 19th birthdays. All
have been charged as juveniles, not adults.
The fence was fixed and the center was
calm and back under control Tuesday morning, Johnson said. Police cars were on the
scene, but there was little activity at the center
or its neighbors a womens prison, several
trucking company offices, a frozen pizza plant
and a liquor distributor.

Lawyer says family of girl with Uzi is devastated BLOOD DRIVE

JOSH CORNFIELD
Associated Press
PHOENIX An attorney for the parents of a 9-year-old
girl who accidentally killed an Arizona shooting range instructor with an Uzi said Tuesday the family is devastated by the
tragedy that occurred on a brief excursion during a vacation.
The statement came as investigators released police reports
and 911 recordings involving the Aug. 25 shooting of instructor Charles Vacca at the Last Stop range in White Hills, about
60 miles south of Las Vegas.
The police reports name the childs parents as Alex Gen
and Alison MacLachlan and dont list the couples hometown.
New Jersey-based lawyer Kevin Walsh said the family
prayed day and night that (Vacca) would survive his injury,
and they continue to pray for his family during this terribly
difficult time.
The police reports say that immediately after the shooting,
the girl said she felt the gun was too much for her and had
hurt her shoulder.
Her family members were focused on the girl because
they thought she was injured by the guns recoil and didnt
immediately realize that Vacca had been shot until one of his
colleagues ran over to him, the reports state.
The shooting set off a powerful debate over youngsters and
guns, with many people wondering what sort of parents would
let a child handle a submachine gun. However, neither the
reports nor the statement by Walsh explains why the parents
let the girl take the Uzi.
The family had taken a shuttle from Las Vegas to the range.
After arriving, the girl, her parents, sister and brother took a
monster truck ride before heading to the shooting range.
The girls father was the first one in the party to handle a
weapon. After he fired shots, Vacca instructed the girl on how
to shoot the gun, showed her a shooting stance, and helped her
fire a few rounds, according to the reports.

GOP lawmakers
seek vote on
photo ID bill
COLUMBUS (AP)
Several Republican lawmakers
hope to force the House to vote
on a bill requiring voters to
show photo identification at the
polls in the political swing state.
Backers of the measure
announced plans Tuesday to
use a legislative maneuver to
pull the bill from a committee,
which hasnt held hearings on
it. The legislation was introduced almost a year ago.
What is the problem that
we cannot have photo ID
required for voting in Ohio?
state Rep. Matt Lynch said at a
news conference in Columbus.
Frankly, there should be no
problem because we cant get
on an airplane we can barely get into a public building
if we dont have such an ID.
Lynch, a Geauga County
Republican, joined three GOP
lawmakers in signing a discharge petition to get the bill
out of committee. The petition
requires 50 signatures from
representatives to force it to
the House floor for a vote.
Its unclear whether the
effort will have much success. State lawmakers are
on summer break, and many
are campaigning ahead of
Novembers election.

American Red Cross seeks hospital volunteers

VAN WERT For many years,
American Red Cross volunteers have
served at Van Wert County Hospital helping to support astounding care being provided to members of the Van Wert community and surrounding areas. Currently,
the American Red Cross of Van Wert
County supports 42 hospital volunteers
who are working in 16 different areas of
the hospital.
We have a unique program said
Carol Hennis, American Red Cross hospital coordinator. Van Wert County is
the only county in Ohio to have American
Red Cross volunteers who serve within a
hospital. We are fortunate to be a part
of a large number of individuals who
donate their time and talents for the good
of our community. Our volunteers offer a
wide range of skills, interests, and backgrounds to our group which, in turn, is
shared to support both the hospital and
patients. Many opportunities for community members to become involved are
available and we try to match them with
the areas they feel they can make the
most difference.
New this year, the American Red
Cross has launched an internship program which provides college students,
who are interested in pursuing a medical career, the opportunity to serve and
shadow in a variety of hospital areas.
We are proud to be a part of this
new program. Students benefit from the
opportunity to explore their career field,
build experience, and network with professionals in their chosen study while
gaining valuable and marketable skills to
prepare them for their lives beyond college. All the while, we are continuing to
serve our community, serve our hospital,
and serve our mission, Hennis said.
No specific skills are required. Red

ingful capacities throughout Van Wert
Hospital and are matched according to
their preferences. The duties of volunteers are varied according to the area of
their assignment. Volunteer duties may
include: providing assistance to staff
and patients; clerical duties answering
phones, completing mail merges, filing;
stocking hospital materials and supplies;
greeting patients; coordinating the hospital prayer list; escorting patients and
providing directions to areas within the
hospital.
Our group of American Red Cross
Volunteers provides highly valued and
dedicated services to our hospital and
community. They provide countless
hours of efforts, and without the help
of local volunteers, our hospital would
not be able to operate as effectively as

it does. We appreciate all of the hard
work of all of our volunteers, said Mark
Minick, president and CEO, Van Wert
County Hospital.
Volunteer schedules are flexible and
can be adjusted to accommodate personal
and professional schedules. Volunteers
must be at least 18 years of age. All that
is needed is a dedicated, caring, and willing attitude.
Individuals interested in becoming a
Red Cross Volunteer, or those wanting more information about the available opportunities at Van Wert County
Hospital, should call the Red Cross
office at 419-238-9977. The office of the

Mantis was built by the same legendary manufacturers that
brought guests the Raptor and GateKeeper roller coasters
Bolliger and Mabillard (B&M), Monthey, Switzerland. In its
18-year history, Mantis has given more than 22 million thrilling rides.
Its time to say goodbye to one of the parks coasters, and
its certainly been a different kind of ride for our guests, said
Jason McClure, vice president and general manager of Cedar
Point. But were extremely excited about what the future
holds here at the Roller Coaster Capital of the World.
Guests still have time to give Mantis a standing ovation
before it shuts down permanently at 8 p.m. Oct. 19. Additional
plans for the 2015 season will be announced at a later date.
Well water testing kits

available at SWCD
INFORMATION
SUBMITTED
VAN WERT The
Van Wert SWCD has partnered with Heidelberg
Universitys
National
Center for Water Quality
Research to offer residents
the opportunity to have
their well water tested.
Anyone whose drinking
water comes from a private well is responsible for
his/her waters safety. For
anyone who has never had
his/her water supply tested,
it is always a good idea
to educate themselves on
what is present in the drinking water and also provide
themselves with some
baseline information in the
event there are changes in
the future that may impact
the quality of their water
supply.
A well has an increased
likelihood of contamination if:
The well is more than
20 years old
The well was dug or
driven rather than drilled
The well is shallow
The soil is sandy
A chemical spill is
known to have happened
nearby
The well is near possible sources of contamination, such as: cropland,
feedlots, landfills and
industrial sites, active or
abandoned
Even if a well fits none
of these categories, no one
can know the quality of

their water without testing.
Contaminants may have
entered the ground without
the homeowners knowledge or before they have
lived at the site.
The following are the
tests and pricing available:
Nitrate/Inorganic
Suite $25
Includes nitrate, nitrite,
ammonia, chloride, sulfate, fluoride, soluble
phosphorus, silica, and
conductivity
Pesticide
Immunoassay Screen $60
Detects major herbicides
such as atrazine (Aatrex),
simazine (Princep), alachlor (Lasso), metolachlor
(Dual), and acetochlor
(Harness)
Metals by ICP /MS
$75
Includes antimony, arsenic, barium, beryllium,
cadmium, chromium, lead,
selenium, aluminum, copper, iron, manganese. zinc,
nickel, sodium, calcium,
strontium, cobalt, magnesium, potassium, silica, and
vanadium
The test kits will be for
sale Oct. 6 through Oct. 17.
The samples need returned
to the Van Wert SWCD, 1185
Professional Drive, Van Wert,
on Oct. 20.
Participants
can
expect their confidential
results back in two-four
weeks from Heidelberg
University.
CINCINNATI (AP) The parents

of four black students who allege their
children were expelled over rap music
videos and targeted because of race sued
a suburban school district in federal court
on Tuesday, charging violations of constitutional rights including free speech.
Attorney Robert Newman, representing the parents, said that the students were
expelled from Colerain High School in
Colerain Township, a 20-minute drive
northwest of Cincinnati, for making rap
music videos off campus and that black students were unfairly targeted. The parents
lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court in
Cincinnati against the Northwest Local
School District, the Colerain Township
Board of Trustees, members of both groups
boards and some police officers.
A school district statement said the
lawsuit contains inaccurate information.
An attorney representing the township
didnt immediately return a call seeking
comment on Tuesday.
School officials and police officers
interrogated black students about their
recent social media postings and affiliations with other black youths and showed
them photos collected by school staff
and police from social media websites,
the lawsuit says. The photos showed the
students making various hand signs or
participating in rap music videos, it says.
Based on these images, school
administrators accused more than a
dozen African-American students of
making street signs and belonging to a
gang, the lawsuit states.
Newman said white students involved
in similar conduct werent disciplined.

consultant and appointee
of Gov. John Kasich was

Libertarians
have
asked Watson to expedite a trial in their case
on grounds the disqualifications were based
on partisan, not principled, reasons. The U.S.
Constitution prohibits
government officials from
removing candidates for
partisan reasons.
The Zeiger firm represented Libertarian voter
Gregory Felsoci in a protest of ballot petitions filed
by Earl and Linnabary,
but Casey hired the firm
and is paying the legal
bill including through
contributions from Ohio
Republicans, he confirmed in an interview
Tuesday.
Casey defended his
role, saying Libertarians
would not have run into
trouble if they had submitted petitions that were
legal.
The problem in their
theory is that, based on
the filings originally and
the hearing conducted by
Brad Smith, there was
clear evidence that came
out on the petitions: the
use of the paid circula-
said. There never would

have been a complaint if
theyd have had sufficient
required signatures and
not have had the proven
legal problems.
He said hell accept
money from Republicans,
Democrats or independents to help pay the
law firm and thanked
Libertarians for the free
publicity.
Outside of the legal
challenge, Earl called on
Kasich to remove Casey
from his state post.
Like many political
bag men and fixers, he
lacks the ethical compass
to serve the people of
Ohio, he said in a statement. If Casey possesses
a scintilla of ethical probity, he would resign and
apologize to the people of
Ohio for colluding to limit
their voices and choices
in Ohios electoral process. Since he wont, we
therefore call on Gov.
Kasich to dismiss Casey
and restore some measure of confidence in state
government.
A Kasich spokesman
declined comment, as did
Husteds office. Husted is
scheduled to be deposed
Thursday in the case.

The Next Generation
Vantage students complete summer internships

VAN WERT When students
think of summer, they think of
sleeping late, lazy days and fun
nights. But getting a chance for
real-world experience in what
youre studying in school AND
getting paid for it trumps the
former.
Internships provide incredible
opportunities for high school students to gain significant work
experience while exploring career
options. Although we mostly
hear about internships for college students, one local business
has started internships for high
school students who have the
right skills.
Two Vantage students Nick
Grote (Ottoville) and MiKenzie
Luginbill (Parkway) had the
right skills and earned a summer internship opportunity at
Kennedy Manufacturing in Van
Wert.
Both young men competed
with their classmates in Industrial
Mechanics
and
Precision
Machining for the two internships. That meant writing up a
resume, completing an application and interview and passing
a drug test. And then Kennedy
Manufacturing talked to their lab
instructors and others for recommendations!
Nick Grote of Ottoville works in the lab at Vantage. Grote was one
of two students who had a summer internship at Kennedy Manufacturing throughout the summer. (Submitted photo)
Grote worked in the maintenance department from 6 a.m.-
2:30 p.m. each weekday during the

summer. He worked on presses,
forklifts and sheers. Then he tore

apart motors, worked on hydraulic
pumps and did troubleshooting on
electrical issues, alongside fulltime Kennedy employees who were
his mentors.
Luginbill worked in the machine
shop, 5 a.m.-1:30 p.m. where he
ran mills, made stops for the brake
press and worked on the punch.
When asked about his unusual
summer work hours, he replied,
Sometimes you have to wake up
pretty early to go to work. I stayed
because I wanted to work, learn
more and I needed the money.
School started last week for
these high school seniors who
spent the summer working in
their field and getting more experience. They agreed that it was
a little hard to come back after
seeing what it would be like in
the real work world (and getting
a paycheck). But they both realize
that their summer internship was
an amazing opportunity.
I was so excited when I got
this job, Grote said. It was such
an advantage to have had a year
of Industrial Mechanics class. A
lot of the things I did we learned
in lab. Hopefully, I can go back
to Kennedy for Early Placement
and, if I do a good job, get hired
permanently.

Lovina and her daughters canned and

froze 41 quarts of corn this week.
(Submitted photo)
BY LOVINA EICHER
Sister Verenas forty-eighth birthday was
Friday, August 22. She recently had our family and Jacob, Emma and their family there
in honor of her birthday. We enjoyed a pizza
dinner. Sister Susan made a cake for Verena
but then surprised her with an ice cream cake
from Dairy Queen.
It has been over a week now since son
Josephs surgeries. He seems weak yet, but he
is getting better every day. We thank God for
his many blessings!
This past week we were busy canning and
freezing sweet corn. We have a total of 41
quarts so far. My tomatoes are also producing
really well.
Sister Emma and Jacob will host baptismal
services for a boy and girl in our church district in a few weeks. I was finally able to help
her for a day last week. With Joseph not feeling well last week, it was hard for me to leave.
Joes sister Christine and her husband,
Jake, and their family let us know that they
would be at the church services at niece
Verena and Melvins house. We were unable
to go, as Joseph was still not able to stay up
that long. We were sorry we didnt get to see
them. They live in a small community two and
a half hours north of here.
We had surprise visitors Sunday evening.
Joes sister Carol, Pete, and seven children
came after supper. It was a hot evening so we
all sat outside on our porch. The girls made
popcorn and lemonade. Their family is planning to move to Tennessee, so we will not get
to see them as often.
School doors will open next week for
our four youngest children. Half of our
children are done with their school years.

FORT JENNINGS Fort Jennings

girls soccer mentor Rodney Wagner is
used to his Lady Musketeers getting off to
slow starts in the early going of the season.
That early-season trend continued in
Tuesdays Putnam County League opener
versus perennial power Continental at the
Fort Jennings Athletic Complex.
The Lady Pirates with 16 players
had the better of the proceedings most
of the late afternoon/evening and
emerged with a 2-0 shutout.
Weve been struggling this
season making the connections
on our passes but I thought that
our practices the last two days
had helped solve some of that,
Wagner exaplained. I guess that
was wrong. We show glimpses at times
but were not consistent. We came out
flat today and were up and down on the
field; we dont go to the ball enough and
were not getting many offensive chances
because we cant make the connections.
Continental (4-1-0, 1-0-0 PCL) outshot
the Musketeers (1-2-2, 0-1-0 PCL) 15-4
on-goal.
Defense has been a big emphasis the
last week: our previous two matches, we
played two very good offensive teams,
Continental head man Toby Bidlack said.
We felt we needed to shore that area
up. I really like how McKenna Scott has
stepped up this season; we lose good players every year but players like her step
in and assume those roles. Shes been a
scorer for three years before this and still
is but she has taken on more responsibility

defensively.
The Pirates owned the possession so
much the first half that they squeezed off
nine attempts to only two for the Orange
and Black, with senior Musketeer keeper
Erin Osting (11 total saves) stopping seven
and Pirate senior Emma Recker
nabbing two.
Osting had a nice denial at
28:20 when sophomore Blair
Tegenkamps 6-yarder from in
front was deflected by the keeper
and eventually cleared out.
The visitors got on board at 18:03.
Off a through pass from sophomore
Paige Lawhorn, she found the senior
Scott behind the defense and she carried it the rest of the way; her 1-on-1
14-yarder on the left wing slipped
through Ostings hands and into the
twine for a 1-0 advantage.
Osting made one big save at 11:39,
when Scott got loose on the left side and
fired from 18 yards.
At 8:31, on a free ball in the box,
Lawhorn and Osting battled for possession;
Lawhorn managed a shot from 10 yards
but a defender kicked it out of harms way.
The Musketeers had their first foray
on-goal at 14:40 when junior Jordan
Horstman got behind the defense but her
10-yard try was denied by a diving Recker.
Their second shot came at 4:13 when
senior Alyssa Louth fired high from 28
yards but Recker got the save.
We always open with some tough
matchups and that includes early PCL
matches; its what you deal with, Wagner
added. We lost a lot of good players from
last year but we also have a lot of talented
players back. The struggle right now is

to meld those veterans with a slew of talented young players; Im confident it will
happen but I just dont know when it will.
We also have to get about four girls back
from early-season injuries.
The keepers were up to the task in the
second half, with sophomore Ashley
Mansfield stopping both the hosts
tries on-goal and Osting denying
four of the Pirates five openings and
freshman Marissa Krietmeyer making one save against one shot.
The only shot that got through to the
back of the net was at 33:06 when Scott fed
a through ball to Lawhorn down the left side;
with Osting coming out slightly, the 14-yarder got past a diving keeper for a 2-0 lead.
The hosts tried to get one on the board at
23:17 when junior Brandi Kaskel got possession off a steal and made a good run down
the left side; with Mansfield out to try and
cut off the angle, she got enough of Kaskels
16-yarder to slow it down and sophomore
Jade Zachrich kicked it out of danger.
At 10:35, with Scott behind the
defense, she had a 1-on-1 14-yarder with
Osting, who had come out of her line; they
collided as ther keeper deflected the ball
away. However, she went down with an
injury and walked off the pitch.
We have had some numbers issues
in the past but were used to it, Bidlack
added. There is a work ethic and a fitness
culture in this program; the girls know
from day one they had better be in shape.
They are committed to their skills and
their conditioning.

Van Wert too much for Lady Green

By JIM COX
DHI Media Correspondent
VAN WERT Van Wert and Ottoville played two cliffhanger sets Tuesday night, both won by the Cougars, 25-23,
before the home team romped in the third, 25-14. The win
moved Van Wert to 5-1, while the Lady Green fell to 3-3.
The first set saw 11 ties and five lead changes, with
the lead getting as big as four points only once at 19-15,
Van Wert. With the score 22-22, a Landrie Koontz kill put
the Cougars on top 23-22 but Ottovilles Annie Lindeman
trumped that to tie it at 23. With the set hanging in the
balance, a Lady Green kill attempt went into the net, and Van
Werts Alexis Dowdy then blasted the clincher.
The second set was a near duplicate of the first. There
were nine ties and five lead changes, the biggest lead
being three points, which happened three times, all by the
Cougars at 22-19, 23-20 and 24-21. At 24-21, Ottovilles
C.J. Kemper put away two straight to get within one but
the Lady Green then committed a crucial communication
error, letting an easy one drop to the floor to end it.
Van Wert never trailed in the third set, although it was close
until Riley Jones took over the serving duties at 9-7 and reeled
off seven points in a row to make it 16-7, Cougars. The lead
got as big as 12 at 24-12, with Saige Royer administering the
match-ending kill.
The girls came out tonight really playing as a team, said

Cougar coach Vicki Smith. All the hitters stepped up; it wasnt
any one person. Defensively, Riley Jones did an awesome job
at libero, picking up a lot of hard hits. Alexis Dowdy was strong
in the middle. Serving has been pretty good this year; we have a
lot of aggressive servers. They did play well tonight.
Dowdy, Alexa Dunlap and McKenzie Collins led Van Wert in
kills with 13, seven and six, respectively. Koontz was the top server, hitting on 17-of-19 with seven aces, and Collins went
14-for-14 with two aces. Amanda Coplin had 24 assists.
We just played with a lot of inconsistency, a
lot of balls dropping unexpectedly, and we just
werent moving our feet, said Ottoville coach Andi
Wertenberger. We did not serve well. We just werent with it
tonight. Were just very young, very green.
Wertenberger hit the nail on the head with the
maturity issue. Van Werts varsity roster includes seven
seniors, three juniors, three sophomores and no freshmen. Ottovilles has three seniors, one junior, five
sophomores and four freshmen.
Kemper, a freshman, led Ottoville servers, going
14-for-14 with four aces (13/15 attacks, 5 kills). Alexis
Thorbahn (66/75 setting) had 16 assists and Lindeman (23/26
attacks) had eight kills. Freshman Bridget Landin led in blocks
with six and Chelsey Boecker had four aces (14/14 serving).
Van Wert won the junior varsity game 23-25, 25-11, 26-24
to improve its record to 5-1. Ottovilles JV squad is now 4-2.
College Football Polls Thatcher stout as Lancers shut out Lady Pirates
By BRIAN BASSETT
DHI Media Correspondent
MIDDLE POINT Its never an easy

match for the Lincolnview Lady Lancer
soccer team when the Bluffton Lady
Pirates come to town. Tuesday evening
was no exception at Lincolnview field.
The Lady Pirates led nearly every statistical category of a Northwest Conference
tilt, except the one that mattered - the
score.
The Lady Lancers got two goals
in the first half and held on for a
2-0 win.
With our results against
Bluffton in the past, were really
happy with the win, explained
Lincolnview coach Mark McCleery. I
was glad the girls could hold them off that
second half (because) we were getting
tired out there.
Bluffton got a steal and a shot on-goal
from sophomore forward Brooke Koontz
less than two minutes into the match,
which began an offensive onslaught by
the Lady Pirates on Lincolnview senior
goalie Julia Thatcher. The reigning AllNWC first-teamer, Thatcher, was up to the
challenge, however, and rejected all 27 of
Blufftons shots on-goal during the match.
Shes a great goalie and had a lot
of saves for us, continued McCleery,

who said he debated putting Thatcher in
the field early on in the match. I dont
know which is better (sometimes): to
have a fresh body on the field or to keep
(Thatcher) in-goal. In this case they were
getting a lot of shots-on-goal, so I decided
to keep her in there. She did a nice job.
Meanwhile, both teams traded possessions for the first 30-plus minutes of the
match. Finally, senior forward Hannah
McCleery broke free for a Lady Lancer
goal at the 6:37 mark of the first half to
give Lincolnview a 1-0 lead.
Just over two minutes later,
McCleery stole a Bluffton
pass from 40 yards out and
turned it into the second Lady
Lancer goal of the evening,
running Lincolnviews lead to 2-0.
Blufftons best scoring chance in the
first half came at the 17:50 mark,
when sophomore Katie Burkholder
found classmate Abbie Parkins in
front of a nearly-empty goal. The
Parkins kick from five yards out
hit the left goalpost and almost
the right before being cleared by
the Lincolnview defense. In fact,
the goal posts were almost as big of an
adversary to Bluffton as Thatcher on the
evening as the Lady Pirates hit three kicks
off the posts and one off the crossbar -

We got lucky, admitted McCleery. I
havent seen a team hit the crossbar that
many times. A lot of their shots were from
the side. Im OK with those shots from the
side as long as were all over them in the
midfield.
Bluffton didnt go away after the intermission. The visitors added 12 more shots
on-goal in the second half, most of which
off the foot of Koontz, but the Lancer
defense held.
Senior defender Claire Clay led the
Lady Lancer defensive attack in front
of Thatcher, which held the Lady Pirate
offense at bay all evening en route to the
2-0 shutout win. In total, Bluffton recorded 27 shots on-goal to Lincolnviews 12.
Coach McCleery was happy that the
win was a team effort.
Its important to have (Hannah) in
there and all the seniors with their
leadership. Youve got (junior)
Savannah (Bigham) on defense,
Claire (Clay) on defense, (junior
forward) Autumn Proctor was in
there running all over they field. Its
tough to play without any of them
on the field, he added.
The win improves the Lady Lancer
record to 3-2-1 on the season, 2-0 in NWC
play. The Lady Pirates fall to 3-2 on the
season and 0-1 in conference play.
Martinez hits 3-run homer, Tigers win

Associated Press
CLEVELAND
J.D.
Martinez hit a 3-run homer off
closer Cody Allen in the ninth
inning, helping the Detroit Tigers
rally for a 4-2 win over
the Cleveland Indians on
Tuesday night.
Martinezs 1-out shot over
the center-field wall bailed
out the Tigers, who had been
unable to get a clutch hit for
eight innings. But in the ninth,
Torii Hunter drew a leadoff
walk from Allen (5-4), Miguel
Cabrera singled, and after Victor
Martinez flied out, J.D. Martinez connected for his 19th homer, a crushing
blow to the Indians.
Phil Coke (3-2) pitched 1 1/3

innings and Joe Nathan worked
the ninth for his 29th save.
Detroits comeback kept the
Tigers on the heels of first-place
Kansas City in the AL Central.
The Indians wasted a
strong performance by Carlos
Carrasco, who side-stepped
danger for 5 1/3 innings and
struck out a career-high 10.
Carlos Santana hit a 2-run
homer for Cleveland, which
has dropped the first two in
this critical 4-game series.
Tigers rookie starter Kyle
Lobstein was superb in his first
career road start, allowing five
hits in 5 1/3 innings and striking
out 10.

The best part of my summer internship was knowing that I

was working on a piece that was real that someone was going
to use to build a part. At work, I learned some things that we
havent covered in lab yet, so it was a little more challenging,
but I loved it, Luginbill said.
Plant Manager Mike Pond told Vantage Career Tech supervisor Ted Verhoff, It was a great experience for our entire
plant. Both MiKenzie and Nick helped us get some of the
bigger projects done ahead of time. It was also a good teaching and learning experience for our senior technicians. Were
planning on doing it every summer going forward.

It

point out to her that parading
around that way could be
considered disrespectful to
the workers shes exposed
herself to. But dont be
surprised if shes unwilling

give her some kind of thrill.
(Im sure it also gives the
viewers something to talk
about around the dinner
table.)

Dr. Anthony
DOCTOR K:
Does eating fish
Komoroff
help
prevent
prostate cancer?
D E A R
READER:
Y o u v e
certainly heard
me encourage
readers to eat
plenty of fish,
particularly fatty fish such as salmon and
mackerel. Thats because many good studies
have found that people who eat fish frequently
have lower rates of many serious diseases,
including heart disease and several types of
cancer.
A recently published study from the Prostate
Cancer Prevention Trial (PCPT) was described
in the media as coming to the opposite
conclusion. I dont agree, but to explain why,
I first need to talk about the substances in fish
that are thought to be beneficial for humans.
Fish contain high levels of two omega-3 fatty
acids, EPA and DHA, which have been shown
to reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
EPA and DHA also calm inflammation -- and
inflammation contributes to the development
and progression of prostate cancer. Thats why
researchers were interested in learning whether
these fatty acids might help prevent prostate
cancer.
The PCPT measured levels of various fatty
acids in the blood of 3,461 men, 1,658 of whom
developed prostate cancer during the PCPT
study. They found that men with the highest
levels of DHA were 2.5 times more likely to
develop aggressive, high-grade prostate cancer
over a seven-year period compared with men
who had the lowest levels of DHA. What could
explain these results?
Its not clear. But the PCPT did not require
men to undergo prostate biopsies before
enrolling in the study. So its possible that
some of the participants already had highgrade cancer before they entered the trial.
Most important, this was not a study of fish
consumption at all. It was a study of the levels
of certain nutrients in the blood, including
omega-3 fatty acids such as DHA. These
omega-3s could have come from supplements,
from food other than fish, or from fish itself.
Its also important to put the results in
perspective. The researchers analyzed blood
samples from the 1,658 men who developed
prostate cancer during the PCPT study. But
only 125 of these men -- about 8 percent of
the total -- developed high-grade tumors. The
vast majority of men developed low-grade
cancer, and DHA levels had no relationship to
low-grade cancer. So while high levels of DHA
may increase risk of developing high-grade
cancer, the actual risk is still low.
Many more men die of heart disease than
from prostate cancer. Eating fatty fish prepared
healthfully (poached, broiled or grilled) in
place of red meat is a good way to protect your
heart. So if you eat fish, do it for your heart and
your overall health.
At this time, there is no evidence that fish
prevents prostate cancer. But this new study
does not say, as was reported by some in the
media, that eating fish increases the risk of
prostate cancer.

Home Depot probes

possible credit card
data breach
NEW YORK (AP) Home
Depot may be the latest retailer
to suffer a major credit card data
breach.
The Atlanta-based home
improvement retailer told The
Associated Press Tuesday that it
is working with both banks and
law enforcement to investigate
unusual activity that would
point to a hack.
Protecting our customers
information is something we
take extremely seriously, and
we are aggressively gathering
facts at this point while working to protect customers, said
Paula Drake, a spokeswoman at
Home Depot, declining to elaborate. She said the retailer would
notify customers immediately if
it confirms a breach.
Shares of Home Depot Inc.
fell $1.88, or 2 percent, to close
at $91.15.
Hackers have broken security walls for many retailers in
recent months, including Target,
grocery store chain Supervalu,
P.F. Changs and the thrift store
operations of Goodwill.
Study: Playing music helps sharpen kids brains

LOS ANGELES (AP) The
founder of a Los Angeles-based nonprofit that provides free music lessons
to low-income students from gangridden neighborhoods began to notice
several years ago a hopeful sign:
Kids were graduating high school
and heading off to UCLA, Tulane and
other big universities.
Thats when Margaret Martin asked
how the children in the Harmony
Project were beating the odds.
Researchers at Northwestern
University in Illinois believe that
the students music training played a
role in their educational achievement,
helping as Martin noticed 90 percent
of them graduate from high school
while 50 percent or more didnt from
those same neighborhoods.
A two-year study of 44 children in
the program shows that the training
changes the brain in ways that make
it easier for youngsters to process
sounds, according to results reported
in Tuesdays edition of The Journal of
Neuroscience. That increased ability,
the researchers say, is linked directly
to improved skills in such subjects as
reading and speech.
But, there is one catch: People
have to actually play an instrument to

get smarter. They cant just crank up
the tunes on their iPod.
Nina
Kraus,
the
studys
lead researcher and director of
Northwesterns auditory neuroscience
laboratory, compared the difference to
that of building up ones body through
exercise. I like to say to people:
Youre not going to get physically fit
just watching sports, she said.
Kraus said studies like hers are
challenging because researchers need
to follow subjects for years in order
to track changes in the brain. She said
more and larger studies need to be
done in a variety of districts around
the country to help us understand
what are the most effective forms of
learning and how might learning be
tailored for an individual child.
The latest findings are striking a
chord with supporters of such programs
who say music is frequently the first cut
for school boards looking to save money.
Over and over, weve learned
that children need rich, multisensory
environments, and learning music sort
of brings all of that into a package
for them, said Mary Luehrsen of
the National Association of Music
Merchants Foundation, which awards

scholarships and research grants for
the study of music, adding that the
results make the point that music
training should be an important part
of all school curriculums.
April Benasich, a professor of
neuroscience at Rutgers University
who was not involved in the study,
said previous research by Kraus has
demonstrated the value of music is
improving concentration, memory
and focus in children.
Benasich, who researches early brain
development, said the studys findings
are a game-changer for both the scientific and public policy domains, particularly in an era when these sorts of
enrichment activities are being aggressively eliminated from our schools.
Martin approached the National
Institutes of Health, seeking to learn if
there was a connection between music
and the educational achievements of
the programs 2,000 students. The
NIH put her in touch with Kraus,
who studies the changes in the brain
that occur through auditory exposure.
Many of Harmony Projects students
have no interest in pursuing professional music careers, Martin said.
Scams

Village council members suspended the rules and passed on
their first reading two new resolutions, including authorizing Village
Administrator Sean Chapman
to enter into agreement with
Spencerville Schools for the Safe
Routes to Schools (SRTS) Project and
authorizing Chapman to enter into an
agreement with Ohio Department of
Natural Resources (ODNR) for the
Clean Ohio Trails Fund Canal Trail
Project.
Council members also suspended
the rules and passed on emergency measure an ordinance authorizing Mayor J.P. Johnson to enter into
contract with the Ohio Department
of Transportation (ODOT) for preliminary engineering for the SRTS
Project and contracts with the director of ODOT for the completion of
the project.
Each are being passed on emergency measures due to the time constraints, Johnson said.
Two resolutions: transferring
appropriations within the Capital
Projects and Income Tax Refunds and

supporting the Fourth Street Culvert
Project; were read.
Village Clerk Dawn Bailey said
transferring appropriations will pay
for the paving at the Water Treatment
Plant and a new computer for the
municipal office.
During the second week of
September, we plan on changing the
valve configurations for the well feed
and the clearwell feeds to enable us
to send filtered water to the distribution system by the end of that week,
Chapman said. This will be a tremendous improvement to the water
quality.
During this time, finalization of
the nanomembranes will occur and all
membranes will be loaded and tested,
with the softening membranes going
online that second week of September
or shortly thereafter. Chapman said
once the plant goes online, the village
will still have the ability to revert
back to the old plant if there are any
serious operational issues with the
new plant.
Water Treatment Plant Manager
Jim Cave met with Jen Alexander of
the Ohio Environmental Protection

Agencies (OEPA) lab certification
unit and the inspection went very
well, Chapman said. All Village
Utilities employees passed the individual certification and are now qualified to run the necessary daily testing
as established by the OEPA.
Chapman said all employees will
receive certificates and will be eligible for renewal in one year. Each
employee must perform at least three
tests each month in order to maintain
certification.
Chapman said he recently spoke to
Julie Ward of Ohio Rural Community
Assistance Partnership (RCAP)
regarding income surveys and funding
scenarios for the proposed
North Main Street water line replacement and the Fourth Street culvert
replacement.
Julie feels that each of these projects, if proven eligible by a townwide income survey, could be funded
through the Community Development
Block Grant (CDBG)
program,
he said. We will begin the community-wide survey process at the first
of the year.
Chapman reported that Bluffton

Paving completed the 2014 OPWC
Street Program, 2014 County Road
Program and the WTP/Pool
driveway. The total estimated cost
was around $147,000, with about half
of this cost coming from OPWC and
Permissive Taxes.
Chapman also received confirmation for the water tower inspection by
Mid-Atlantic Storage Systems who
will perform the inspection on Sept.
12.
Our crews will drain the tank on
Thursday prior and run the system
off of one of the high-service pumps
with pressure relief valves located at
the plant, he said. Once the inspection has been completed, we will
place the tower back online by Friday
evening.
Chapman reported the village
has suffered four more main water
line breaks over the holiday weekends in the alley behind 129 S.
Broadway St.; in the alley behind
319 N. Canal St.; in front of 431 E.
Fourth St.; and at the intersection
of South Broadway and George
streets.
Breakfast

The programs averages nearly 40 children a day during the
summer with the highest daily attendance at 53.
The breakfasts are made-to-order. The ministry serves pancakes and cereal each day, French Toast twice a week, eggs
once a week, orange juice, milk and water. A new addition
this year was a sack lunch for those who would like to take
one to go.
We had peanut butter, peanut butter and jelly and jelly
sandwiches, a bag of chips and some type of snack like pudding or fruit chews. They had to be travel-friendly because
most of our kids were on bicycles and would shove them in a
backpack, McGue said. We had no clue if there was a need
and we ended up packing 25 of them a day.
Extras like sunscreen and toothpaste occasionally appear
as well.
During the last week, children were encouraged to write
down their name, their school and what they liked about the
breakfast program.
The most common answer was hanging with their friends.
Some stayed the whole time and some ate and left. One girl
said she made a new friend, McGue said. We had people
from all over. If the kids had a cousin staying with them, they
brought them along. We had a signature from Cleveland, so we
really reached out.
McGue said everyone is pleased with the breakfast ministry; she likes the fact that the kids have a safe place to be in
the morning and they get a good breakfast.
What a good place to hang out a church, she added.
We hope everyone will join us Sunday.

Its no longer
safe to recline
your airplane seat
NEW YORK (AP)
Squeezed into tighter and
tighter spaces, airline passengers appear to be rebelling,
taking their frustrations out on
other fliers.
Three U.S. flights made
unscheduled landings in the
past eight days after passengers got into fights over the
ability to recline their seats.
Disputes over a tiny bit of personal space might seem petty,
but for passengers whose
knees are already banging into
tray tables, every inch counts.
Seats are getting closer
together, says Sara Nelson,
president of the Association of
Flight Attendants, which represents 60,000 flight attendants
at 19 airlines. We have to deescalate conflict all the time.
There are fights over overhead bin space, legroom and
where to put winter coats.
We havent hit the end of
it, Nelson says. The conditions continue to march in
a direction that will lead to
more and more conflict.
Airlines today are juggling
terror warnings in Britain, the
Ebola outbreak in Africa and
an Icelandic volcano erupting
and threatening to close down
European airspace. Yet, the issue
of disruptive passengers has
captured the worlds attention.
Its getting to the point
where the pre-flight safety videos need an additional warning: Be nice to your neighbor.
The International Air
Transport Association calls
unruly passengers an escalating problem, saying there
was one incident for every
1,300 flights in the past three
years. The trade group would
not share detailed historical
data to back up the assertion
that this is a growing problem.
Todays flying experience is far from glamorous.
Passengers wait in long lines
for security screening, push
and shove at the gate to be
first on board, and then fight
for the limited overhead bin
space. They are already agitated by the time they arrive
at their row and see how
cramped it is.
Auction
The average take for those

going through the auction this
year was $471.82, a record
amount, besting the 2013
average of $433.86.
Weather at Farm Focus
Arena on the Van Wert County
Fairgrounds remained comfortable throughout the day
with only a short shower during the early afternoon to mar
the proceedings.
Although the total of dollars collected increased,
the number of animals sold
dropped off for the second
straight year. This years total
number of units sold fell to
308, the lowest this century.
There were 323 units in 2013
and 359 in 2012. Those numbers were well over 400 during
the years 2001-06. Despite the
shrinking numbers of entries,
premiums paid to exhibitors
remains strong.
There were 77 swine sold
at auction on Tuesday, followed closely by the number
of rabbits (74). Next in quantity were the sales 36 turkeys
sold and 32 poultry, 27 sheep,
26 steers, 24 dairy feeders and
11 goats. The swine brought
in an average of $479.87,
steers averaged $879.81 and
sheep averaged $544.63.
Rabbits averaged a premium of $306.76, turkeys
brought in an average of
$366.67, poultry averaged
$330.47, dairy feeder calves
averaged $661.04 each and
goats paid an average premium of $540.91.
