President Dan Hirn told council
Monday they will stay in their
positions either until someone
shows interest or they resign.
Mayor Michael Gallmeier
had spoken to the Allen County
Board of Elections about the
pairs upcoming vacancies and
learned that since no one ran
for either seat in the November
election, Martz and Hirn retained
their seats until they resign or
pass away.
It was quite surprising,
Martz
Mayor Gallmeier said. We
learned that there at people in
office that havent run on a ballot
in years.
Martz and Hirn said they
didnt want to the leave council
in an awkward position and will
stay on for now and revisit their

decisions on a yearly basis.
Were going to play it by
ear, they said.
Council dispatched with several items very quickly by rehiring Marsha Mueller as council
clerk and Sherryl George as deputy clerk.
New committee assignments
were also approved with Mark
Clement a president pro-tem;
Andrew Dailey as chair of the
Legislative Committee with Tom
Grothous and Mark Clement
also on board; Grothous as
chair of Public Properties with
Josh Gillespie and Del Kemper;
Gillespie as chair of the Finance
Committee with all council members serving as well;
Grothous chair of Economic
Hirn
Development with Clement
and Jim Fortener; Fortener
chair of Safety Services with
Daley and Martz; Martz chair
of City Utilities with Gillespie
and Dailey; Kemper chair of
Thoroughfares with Fortener
and Clement; and Clement chair

of Parks and Rec with Kemper
and Martz.
Council heard on second
reading an ordinance for a purchase agreement with the successful bidder for the purchase
and installation of sand filter
tanks at the Delphos Municipal
Swimming Pool.
We will have definitive numbers for this project at the next
meeting, Safety Service Director
Shane Coleman said.
Parks and Rec Superintendent
Craig Mansfield told council at

and in 1985, they were inspected
for the last time.

City fixing faulty hydrants

City workers Gary Teman, left, and Brad Trentman work on a fire hydrant at the corner of Madison Street and
Lima Avenue Tuesday morning. A handful of hydrants in town still need repaired but the crew is making headway,
according to Maintenance Superintendent Todd Haunhorst. We started out with nearly 30 hydrants that needed
work and now we are down to just a few, he said. The hydrants are older and no one has the parts in stock so it
takes about five weeks to get them. Problems were found with the hydrants when Fire and Rescue personnel performed testing in the fall. Fire Chief Kevin Streets said his trucks carry 1,000 feet of hose so a hydrant can always
be reached for firefighting. (DHI Media/Nancy Spencer)
DELPHOS Sr. Immacolata

Scarogni, SCC, has found herself happy
to be wherever she has landed in her service to God and His people. St. John the
Baptist Parish in Landeck is no different.
They welcomed me with open arms
and I feel the same, Sr. Immacolata said.
Landeck is a small parish but it has a
huge heart.
Since she arrived in September, she
has found everyone to be helpful and
kind, making for a smooth transition to
her new home.

Franklin, Landeck lead county on test scores

BY NANCY SPENCER
DHI Media Editor
DELPHOS Franklin and Landeck Elementary
Principal Mark Fuerst had wondered at times what allowed
other schools to test so well on state exams. Now other
school administrators in Allen County are seeking him out.
Students at the local public elementaries topped other
schools in the county in six of the seven testing categories
last year, placing third behind Allen East and Bluffton in
fifth-grade science.
In third-grade math, students scored an 89.9 percent
passage rate with Bluffton at 88.6 and Allen East at 88.2.
In fourth-grade math, local students scored a 96.4 with
Spencerville the closest at 89.6. In fifth-grade math,
students tallied at 91.8 percent with Allen East at 89.9

and Spencerville 86.6. In fourth-grade language arts,
92.8 percent of Jefferson students passed compared
to Spencerville at 88.1 and Bluffton at 86.5. In fifthgrade language arts, Allen East came in at 87.8 percent,
Shawnee was at 87.5 and Jefferson at 89.4. Fourth-grade
social studies was the most impressive with 97.6 percent
of Jefferson students passing compared to 90.6 at Bluffton
and 88.5 at Allen East.
Weve always done OK but always came in behind
Shawnee and Bluffton. Weve always held our own and
been an equal but never top dog, Fuerst said. Now we
are the envy of the county and principals are calling me to
see what we are doing.
Fuerst lays the success at the feet of the students,
teachers and parents.
Its a collective effort, he said. Everyone has to

work together to have such a successful outcome. The
kids work hard and are well-behaved and that is fostered
at home.
This was also the first year testing was done online.
We had a handful teachers who just grabbed it and ran
with it, Fuerst said. They worked really hard and made
sure everything ran smoothly.
Fuerst said the entire elementary staff at the city
schools works together, sharing their success stories and
just talking to each other.
They share what has worked for them and what hasnt
and the teachers at Landeck and Franklin get along very
well and work well together, he added.

increased except in one important category
there was one fewer traffic fatality last
year over 2014 figures. That information
was recently released by the OSHP.
Three fatal crashes were reported in the

and Defiance County, and increased by
one in Mercer County and in Paulding
County. The yearly total was down by two
in Hancock County and down by three in
Hardin County.
In Van Wert County, the OSHP made
5,867 traffic enforcement stops last year,
up from 2014s 4,359 stops made. Nonenforcement activity was listed in 8,884

OBITUARY
Dale Richard
Fairfax
1937 - 2016
INDIANAPOLIS Dale
Richard Fairfax was born in
Akron, the last son of three
(James and Bill) to Walter
and Leah Fairfax, all of whom
proceed him in death.
Dales family moved to
Delphos, where Walter worked
as a mechanical engineer on
the railroad. There, Dale developed rheumatic fever in his
elementary years and was bedridden for two years. With a
private tutor that came to his home, Dale developed a passion for
books, history and everything mechanical (especially cars of the
era, steam locomotives and track roadsters).
Dales mechanical knowledge led him to the doors of General
Motors Institute (GMI), in Flint, Michigan, graduating with a BS
in mechanical engineering. This was the beginning of his career
with GM and where he would meet the love of his life, Dorothy,
his wife of 57 years. They started a family having three children
Julie, Becky and Jeff and lived in their fairy tale home on
Dale Avenue until Dale was transferred to Indianapolis.
After moving to Indianapolis, Dales dream as a 16-year-old
owning a 32 Ford Coupe with a flat head engine came to
fruition after many years of restoration. Dale and his 32 were
acknowledged by many car venues and peers. He then restored
his 53 Ford truck with a Lincoln motor again, another work of
art! Dale became a true master mechanic and machinist. People in
the vintage car circle across the country would consult with him
and hire him to produce automotive parts for their specific needs.
His extensive knowledge of the automotive industry, (especially
Henry Ford and the Ford Motor Company) steam locomotives,
and track roadster racing resulted in numerous published articles
and co-authoring of published books. Dale was a member of the
Flint Gear Grinders, Indy Idlers, and Winchester Old Timers.
Dale also had another love and that was for the many furry
cats of all colors, size and breed that mysteriously found their
way to he and Dorothys door and never left; however, there is
one that had a special spot in Dales heart: ELZIE.
Visitation will be from 10 a.m. until the time of service at
noon on Saturday at Shirley Brothers Fishers-Castleton Chapel,
9900 Allisonville Road.
Dale is survived by his wife, Dorothy; daughters and son,
Julie Heckart (Brian), Becky Hancock (Mark) and Jeff Fairfax
(Jacqueline); and five grandchildren, Ashley, Scotty, Caroline,
Benjamin and Ali.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the
Humane Society of Indianapolis.

Local/State
2016 State of the City Address
It is my honor and privilege, as Mayor,

to give the 2016 State of the City. This is
required by Ohio Revised Code 733.41 and
is given at the first council meeting of the
New Year. The City continues to be very
careful with our spending, as we continue
to see cuts in Local Government Funding
and new laws coming from the State which
affect our finances.
Our Safety Services saw a lot of changes in personnel in 2015, but continued to
provide the best services possible for the
citizens of Delphos.
In the Police Department, the resignation
of Kyle Fittro resulted in a promotion of
Marc Slate to chief. Two more promotions
were Ryan Kimmet to assistant chief and
Tom Klinger to sergeant. They also hired
two new officers, Ted Clevenger and Roger
Brown. This past year officers responded
to 4,168 calls for service, made 444 separate arrests and took 583 separate written reports. They conducted countywide
Active Shooter training with all officers
in Allen County and participated in two
campaigns for driving safety (Click It or
Ticket and Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over.)
Donations of over $10,000 were received
and greatly appreciated.
Many positive changes have taken place
in the Fire and Rescue Department. In July,
12 intermittent employees were added to
lower overtime and lessen mutual aid calls.
Mutual aid calls went from 14 in the first six
months to zero. They have also been able to
cut response time from

In the wastewater department, most of
2015 was spent trying to keep the current
technology working and trying to meet
our permits, while planning, designing and
the construction of new infrastructure for
a 1-year demo period. This new technology was reviewed extensively and was
chosen to replace the failing membranes
in the plant. I want to thank Todd and his
department for all their hard work; while
this seemed to have taken a long time to
complete, I believe we did the right thing
by involving everyone to make a sound
decision for the City of Delphos.
City Council also saw changes in their
members: Andy Knueve became the law
director after Clayton Osting resigned; the
Republican Party Committee replaced the
Council-at-Large seat with Tom Grothous
and the 1st-ward seat with Andy Daley.
Council has passed 50 pieces of legislation,
has a temporary budget in place for 2016
and will be working to approve a permanent
budget by the March 31 deadline. Council
and the administration will continue to work
diligently to serve the citizens of Delphos.
Id like to thank all the City employees
and elected officials for all of their hard
work and dedication to the City of Delphos.
We look forward to serving the citizens of
Delphos in 2016.
Respectfully submitted,
Michael H. Gallmeier

This column will
Jim Metcalfe
be getting back to
normal my normal, that is after
two weeks of the
Holiday spirit.
That includes the
annual day after the
final regular-season
games of the National
Football League season, Black Monday.
Even the stock market took a blow on this day, perhaps a
harbinger of things to come!
Sometimes, I really wonder if some of these franchises
know what they are doing or are they just sticking their index
finger up and judging the way the winds blow while collecting
their millions from the massive TV deals?
For example, the Cleveland Browns are once again looking for a new head man and coaching staff after firing Mike
Pettine.
They have even brought in a baseball guy, Paul DePodesta,
to be the new chief strategy officer.
In some ways, with the way analytics is taking over every
game and apparently he is a big believer in that futuristic
model of how to build a franchise on the field it might be
the way to go for the Browns.
After all, the recent history tells us the current course or
several current courses have not gone well.
That being the case, it might not be a bad idea to try this
way; they cant do any worse, can they?
At the same time, its still about performance, blocking and
tackling and executing a game plan play after play.
It is very similar to baseball: its all about execution
whether laying down a sacrifice bunt, hitting the ball the opposite way, turning the double play, etc.
As Pete Rose said in a recent interview, his hitting philosophy was see ball, hit ball,, not whether the pitcher had a good
2-strike curveball.
I just dont see the smarts behind hiring and firing a coach
every two years and seemingly starting over, only to see it last
for two more years and repeating the process.
Are they going to turn over the roster again to meet the
needs of a new coach with a new system on both sides of the
ball or are they going to bring in a coach to make do with
whats there and build from there?
Just like in Philadelphia, replacing the future-looking
up-tempo, rapid-fire offense of Chip Kelly: are they going
to bring in a similar-philosophy coach or have a different
approach and remake the roster in his image and likeness?
Or has the game changed so much that it doesnt really
matter, that everybody runs pretty much the same basic stuff,
the only thing differences being the tempo and play-calling?
Lets face it: everybody has a 3-4 package on defense and a
4-3 scheme as well.
Everybody can run the spread and go no-huddle as well.
Is Pettine, Kelly, Tom Coughlin or any of the other three
guys a bad coach? No.
I dont feel so bad for either of them because sports is the
ultimate recycling center: coaches that are fired end up being
hired somewhere else and many times have success, where
before, they had failure.
There is something to be said about the likes of the New
England Patriots and Pittsburgh Steelers, who have a game
plan they follow every year hey, it works, so why change
it? and always seems to be right there year after year.
Even in a down year, they seemingly find a way.
Whatever you think about Bill Belichick/Robert Kraft I
know what one of my Pigskin Pickers, Erin Cox, thinks about
them cheaters!! or Mike Tomlin/the Rooney Family, they
let their plan have a chance to work and more often than not,
it does.
Maybe that is why Belichick is the longest-tenured coach in
the NFL right now and the Steelers have only had three coaches since the mid-1970s.

DELPHOS Miller City

senior Elizabeth Klear buried
a 3-ball from the left wing
with under three seconds left
Tuesday night and a desperation 3/4-court heave by
Jefferson sophomore Macy
Wallace was well short as the
visiting Lady Wildcats seized
a 52-51 non-league girls basketball tussle inside Jefferson
High School gymnasium.
The host Lady Wildcats
(8-5) led 34-27 to commence
the fourth but the guest
Wildcats (7-5) scored eight
of the first nine markers of
the canto to get within 36-35
on a 3-point play by Jenelle
Kuhlman (12 markers, 5
boards, 3 thefts) at 5:15. A
big 4-point play 3-balland-harm from the left corner by Wallace (13 markers
1o-of-13 at the line 3
assists) stopped the bleeding and the Red and White
built a 45-37 edge on her two
foul shots at 2:41.
Back came the guests
behind Klear and Cassie
Niese (10 points, 6 boards,
3 assists before fouling out
at 20.5 ticks) with six points

each in the quarter. A Klear
triple from the right corner
at 28 ticks tied the score at
49 but Wallace was fouled
at 20.5 ticks. Wallace
whose Wildcats were 16-of23 at the line before then
but went through a spell of
2-of-8 when trying to secure
the game hit two for a
2-point lead. Miller City then
brought the ball downcourt
but it got loose, with a wild
scramble following without
possession. Kuhlman finally got control on the right
wing, swung it to Megan
Niese at the top of the key,
who then swung it to Klear
on the left wing; her wideopen shot sliced through the
net for a 1-point lead, with
Jefferson calling time at 1.9
ticks. Having to go the length
of the court proved insurmountable as Wallaces long
try fell short.
With both teams struggling
in the early going against
each others full-court pressure schemes: Jefferson in a
2-2-1 dropping into a zone of
some kind and Miller Citys
1-2-2 trap dropping into halfcourt man; they combined for
13 turnovers (8 by the Blue
and Gold guests 25 for

the game). They shot better
4-of-10 versus 1-of-12 by
the Red and White (14-of-40
total, 5-of-12 beyond the arc,
for 35%). Two Wallace foul
shots at 1:20 made it 9-6 in
favor of Miller City.
Both units continued
to struggle with turnovers,
though the guests had 10 to
six for the hosts (19 total).
Getting more aggressive
going to the basket shooting 5-of-10 from the field
and 7-of-8 at the line, led by
six from Jessica Pimpas (8
points, 4 rebounds) and
getting Tiffany Welty to pick
up her third foul they took
a 23-17 halftime bulge on a
drive to the rim by Tori Black
at 1:26.
The hosts maintained the
lead throughout the third
period even as they had issues
with Miller Citys 2-3 zone
defense despite Welty and
Christina Berger both picking
up their fourth fouls as
both pulled off their press.
MacKenzie Hammons (9
markers 3 treys) drilled a
pair of trios to help keep them
in front and Devyn Carders
triple midway through gave
them the games biggest mar-
gin of 29-19. When Sarah

Miller (7 counters, 5 boards,
5 steals) hit a runner in the
lane at 4.1 ticks, the hosts led
34-27.
It came down to them
making one more play at the
end. It was as up-and-down a
game, just like our whole season, Jefferson mentor Dave
Hoffman said. We made
poor decisions with the ball
too often. We had moments
when we were aggressive and
attacking the basket as we
like to do in the second
period and had success offensively but their zone affected
us and we became too passive. We missed easy shots
early and foul shots late that
could have put it away.
Miller City finished 20-of45 shooting the ball (5-of-17
from 3-land) for 44.4 percent;
7-of-15 singles (46.7%); with
33 caroms (10 offensive) as
Megan Warnimont added
seven; and with 21 fouls.
It was a survival game,
no doubt. We had 18 turnovers the first half because we
made poor decisions but we
kept talking to the girls about
hanging around and battling,
giving ourselves a chance
and maintaining our poise,
Miller City head coach Chris
Rump explained. We dug
in and fought back. In the
last few minutes, I felt we
made good decisions about
our shots we werent hurrying them and when and
whom to foul. Even the shot
at the end was poised: we got
Liz the ball and she did her
footwork was perfect.
Jefferson totaled 18-of-25
at the line (72%); 26 rebounds
(4 offensive) as Taylor Stroh
(3 steals) led with 10; and 17
fouls.
Miller City won the junior
varsity contest 32-25.
Paige Wenzinger led the
visitors with eight, while Alli
McClurg topped all scorers
with 15 for the Jeffcats.

Jays use turnovers to pound Panthers

PAULDING The St. Johns Lady

Blue Jays travelled to The Jungle at
Paulding High School to take on the winless but scrappy Paulding Lady Panthers
on Tuesday night in girls non-conference basketball action.
The Lady Panthers (0-11) were
doomed by 23 turnovers as the Lady
Blue Jays picked up the 61-34 victory.
The Lady Panthers got a 3-pointer
from Allison Arend around the 5-minute mark of the first period which was
answered by a trey from Madilynn
Schulte to push the Lady Jays lead to
8-5.
Paulding tied the game up at 9-9 with
a layup from Skyler McCullough and a
jumper from Audrey Manz at the 6:18
mark in the second quarter which forced
a St. Johns timeout. The Lady Jays
went on a 21-5 run to end the first half,
getting the run started with 3-point plays
from Sydney Fischbach and Hayleigh
Bacome.
Paulding got a layup from Faith
Vogel to bring the score to 26-14 before
Fischbach drained four foul shots to give
the Lady Blue Jays a 30-14 lead at half.
The Lady Panthers wouldnt go away

without a fight to start the second half
as Arend knock down a jumper and
Townley drained a foul shot to cut the
St. Johns lead to 35-18.
With the score 39-20, the Blue Jays
called a timeout with 2:49 left in the
third quarter. Coming out of the timeout, Vodel connected on a 3-point play
and later tacked on a layup to cut the
Lady Blue Jays lead to 40-25. St. Johns
countered with a jumper from Lexie
Hays and Paulding got an easy Townley
layup to cut the lead to 42-27.
St. Johns (7-4) went on a 13-0 run
to end the third quarter and start the
four period as Schulte and Taylor Zuber
both connected on 3-pointers to extend
their lead to 55-27. Paulding ended the
run with a foul shot from Samantha
Meggison and then a layup from
Townley to bring the score to 55-30.
The Lady Panthers got two foul shots
from Kaylen Hale to end the game.
The Lady Jays were led by Schulte
with a game-high 17 points and
Fischbach chipped in with 12 points.
Paulding was led by 12 points from
Townley and 11 from Vogel.
St. Johns outrebounded Paulding
24-23 and forced 24 turnovers, while
the Lady Panthers forced just five.
We know coming in that this team

was going to be hungry and we know
they play very hard. I thought our kids
did a great job early matching their
intensity; we made a couple runs that
I thought were key. We didnt give up
a lot of offensive rebounds early in the
game. I thought we missed some easy
shots early but we did play well in transition today, said Delphos St. Johns
coach Dan Grothouse.
They did a really nice job of pressuring the ball and they have a couple of
girls that did a good job of putting pressure on our ballhandlers which made
things really hard of us. There is no quit
in these girls; even when they get down,
they will battle and we are making progress through our season. We are going to
get better and we are really young, so we
are looking forward to the future, said
Paulding coach Mark Rhodes.

Kalida punishes undersized Lady Lancers

BY JOHN PARENT
sports@timesbulletin.com
MIDDLE POINT
Kalida grabbed 18 offensive rebounds and forced 29
Lincolnview turnovers in a
55-23 win outside Middle
Point on Tuesday night.
The Lady Cats (8-5)
turned those extra possessions into 23 second-chance
points, offsetting a 39 percent
(22-for-56) shooting effort,
as seniors Allison Recker and
Kylie Osterhage combined
for 29 points and 14 rebounds
in the win.
Allie and Kylie arent the
tallest girls but theyre athletic, Kalida head coach Adam
Huber said. We hold our
own inside most of the time
but we said tonight, especially, had to be a focus, whether
it was getting into the post because we actually did have

a size advantage - or it was
crashing the offensive glass.
Kalidas senior post tandem worked particularly
well together as the second
quarter began. Recker found
Osterhage for a bucket inside,
then, on the next possession,
Osterhage fed Recker in
the post for a hoop. After a
Lancer turnover gave it back
to Kalida, Osterhage missed
a 3-pointer, but Recker was
there to clean up the mess,
putting home the rebound.
She scored 9 second-quarter
points as Kalida built a 30-11
halftime margin.
They killed us on the
offensive glass tonight; they
killed us, Lincolnview head
coach Dan Williamson said.
Recker is a beast down
there; we just couldnt box
her out.
Lincolnview (4-6) played
a 2-3 zone for most of the
evening, and kept the Lady
Cats on the perimeter, for the
most part. While Kalida was
struggling from long range,
connecting on just 7 of 29
3-point tries in the game, the
Lady Cats were usually first
to the loose ball.
We played out defense
about as well as you can play
a zone, but we just couldnt
rebound, Williamson said.
We tried to go man a couple
times, but they beat us on
dribble penetration and got
wide-open shots, so we had
to stay in it (the zone) as
much as we could and just
hope we could get enough
rebounds that it would offset,
but we didnt.
Kalida went ahead 7-0
before Kayla Schimmoeller
put Lincolnview on the

board with a free throw.
Schimmoeller then added a
baseline jumper to pull the
Lancers to with 7-3, but
Brittany Kahles 3-pointer
extended the Lady Cat lead
before Reckers free throw
made it 11-3 after one quarter.
The Lancers were outrebounded 10-3 in that period
and had six turnovers against
only four shot attempts.
Theyre a very good
team; six seniors - thats a
huge advantage, Williamson
said.
While the Lady Cats
pulled away in the second
half, Huber wasnt thrilled
with the efficiency of his
teams offense.

T-Birds roll over archrival Jays Grove uses balance
St. Johns sophomore point guard Collin Will looks for a screen in the back-court from
Tim Kreeger to try and free himself up versus the pressure of LCCs Dontez Walton
Sunday afternoon at LCC. (DHI Media/Jim Metcalfe)
BY JIM METCALFE
LIMA The annual

Sunday-afternoon boys basketball archrivalry between
St. Johns and Lima Central
Catholic stepped back in
time to honor teams from the
1948-49 seasons.
The units were wearing uniforms from that era,
including the Blue Jays
honoring the 1949 Class B
State title winners and the
Thunderbirds wearing the
gear of the Lima St. Rose
Cardinals from 1948 that beat
the Jays four times that season.
They even honored two
members of the Cardinals
Joe Lauer and Tom Williams
and later the Jays
high-scoring John Giesken
from that unit.
Flash forward to Sunday,
when the high-flying T-Birds
did the same to the Jays,
using stellar defense to
force 27 turnovers and leading to a 68-35 rout inside
LCCs Msgr. Edward C. Herr
Gymnasium.
The T-Birds (10-0) used a
trapping 3/4-court press and
sticky man-to-man in the half
court to force nine errors and
turned many of them into
points, including slams by
Dontez Walton (20 markers,
9 rebounds, 6 steals, 3 assists,
2 blocks) and Tre Cobbs (14
markers, 5 steals despite
foul trouble in the first half).
They canned 8-of-14 shots
and 5-of-6 foul shots (13-of18 for the game for 72.2%),
with Cobbs dropping in eight
points, in scoring the first 16

points of this contest. The
Jays finally scored on a tough
inside basket by 6-8 junior
Tim Kreeger (11 points, 7
caroms) at 3:16. When Josh
Dixon (12 points, 6 rebounds,
5 dimes) drove for a transition basket at 5.4 ticks, LCC
led 22-4.
There is just no way to
simulate that type of length,
quickness and athleticism in
practice. You try to do different drills to at least give
your kids some kind of prep
for their chaotic defense but
our youngsters had their
eyes opened today to a great
team, St. Johns head coach
Aaron Elwer explained. We
were hoping to have the
kind of start LCC had but
the exact opposite happened.
We werent trying to slow it
down; we wanted to take the
first good shot that was available to us but their defense
was too much. We tried to
shore up some things at the
half but it was frustrating.
We told the kids after the
game that this is something
we have to learn from. Well
meet tomorrow and begin
trying to work on things that
were exposed.
LCC head coach Frank
Kill was pleased with his
teams start and play throughout.
I was so pleased with the
way we came out with energy; a lot of these kids dont
even realize what a rivalry
this game really is but the
people in the stands do. I was
glad we started and played so
well for them, Kill added.
We have such great team
chemistry on this unit and

Im pretty comfortable with
1 through 7. Id still like to
develop a little more bench
and there are things we need
to shore up but this might be
the best our press has worked
for the entire game all season.
Whats nice is these guys
wanted to reward those on the
end of the bench that work
just as hard getting ready for
a game. Thats also part of
our team chemistry; they care
so much for each other.
The youthful Jays still
struggled against the tangible
assets of the hosts in the second period, handing it over
eight more times. Along with
six offensive rebounds, the
T-Birds despite Cobbs and
Thomas Williams picking up
their third fouls at 3:08 and
1:14 could overcome 6-of19 shooting and still grow
its lead. By the time Walton
drained a 3-ball from the
right wing at 4.1 ticks, that
lead rested at 40-18.
The Jays were 5-of-14
shooting the first half.
The T-Birds only forced
five miscues in the third period but picked up their shooting 7-of-13, including
4-of-7 long range and the
Jays could only manage 2-of12 (11-of-39 overall, 4-of19 downtown, for 28.2%).
When Ethan OConnor (10
counters) delivered a 3-pointer out of the left corner at the
3.1-second mark, that lead
had mushroomed to 61-24.
Both teams went deep into
their benches in the fourth
period as the Jays outscored
their foe 11-7.
St. Johns finished shoot-
ing 9-of-16 at the line

(56.3%); outrebounding their
hosts 38-31 (10-9 offensive)
as Jared Wurst (4 points),
Owen Rode and Jesse Ditto
added four each; and with 15
fouls. Robby Saine was second-high scorer with a pair
of triples.
LCC totaled 24-of-60
from the floor (7-of-22 trios)
for 40 percent; and with eight
turnovers and 19 fouls.
In junior varsity action,
LCC won 45-24.
Anthony Venturella led all
scorers with 12 for the hosts.
Connor Hulihan scored six
for the Jays.
Both teams are back in
action Friday: the Jays at
Minster (6:30 p.m.) and LCC
at home vs. Columbus Grove.

Lady Knights shoot lights out vs. Pirates

BY JIM METCALFE
CONTINENTAL Continentals
girls basketball team had to pick its
poison Monday night versus Crestview.
The Lady Pirates either had to deal
with the Lady Knight inside game led
by 5-10 senior Emily Bauer or hope the
Knights werent shooting well from the
outside.
In the end, they had to deal with
both as the Knights ran off with a
74-41 non-league rout in Don Huber
Memorial Gymnasium, aka The Pirates
Cove inside Continental High School.
The Lady Knights (6-3) canned a
stellar 30-of-53 from the floor, 6-of-16
beyond the arc, for 56.6 percent.
The Lady Pirates (1-10) started out
in a 2-3 zone to deny the inside game
but Lady Knight (6-3) sophomore Paige
Motycka (3 triples in the first period,
21 markers for the game; 7 rebounds, 5
assists, 3 steals) helped shoot them out
of that. The visitors scored the first five
points with the Pirates scoring a foul
shot by Amber Logan (16 counters, 4
boards) at 5:32 and shot 7-of-11 from
the field to build an 18-3 lead on a transition basket by Brady Guest (10 markers, 3 thefts) at 44 ticks. When Logan
who scored all five Pirate points in the
stanza hit a short jumper at 20 ticks,
Musings
(Continued from page 6)

I will tell you the truth,
if I were the Browns as
a Cowboys fan, I wish they
followed this plan but Dr./
Mr./Professor Jerry Jones
will NEVER admit you
know what! I would hire a
Steelers or Patriots guy and
bring in some other personnel
from both organizations.
Again, the NFL is a great
copycat league and if success
is what you want, bring in
successful people.
that made the scoreboard 18-5.

Continental shot 2-of-11 in the period
(15-of-43 overall, 2-of-6 downtown, for
34.9%).
The Knights man-to-man defense
began to assert itself more in the second
period, forcing 10 turnovers (17 for
the game, 14 on steals). With Bauer (7
markers) and Guest (6) taking control
inside thanks to the Pirates eventually switching to man and adding six
offensive boards, they canned 11-of-19
in the stanza to zoom to a 42-7 edge
on a jumper from the right elbow by
Leslie Skelton at 35 ticks. The Pirates,
whose only other basket of the quarter
came from Alivia Homier (6 points, 4
assists, 3 burglaries) at 4:20, got a layin
by Jaylen Armey at 11 ticks to make it a
42-9 halftime scoreboard.
The Pirates had more success in the
third period, downing 7-of-12 shots,
while Crestview was 6-of-11. Bauer
added five points for the Knights and
Logan counted nine for the home team.
Crestviews biggest lead was 36 three
times and it never sank below 30,
which was at 57-27 when the Pirates
Ashley Mansfield (7 markers) hit a
3-ball from the left wing at 16 ticks.
The benches emptied in the final
period as the Knights lead was between
31 and 37.
Crestview won the board battle 35-20
(14-9) as Ally McCoy had five.
========
Which team will end up
in Los Angeles: the St. Louis
Rams, San Diego Chargers
or the Oakland/Los Angeles/
Anaheim/Alameda County/
Oakland Raaaaiders?
To me, Im old school
the Rams should never have
left LA to begin with but that
isnt the question.
Since moolah talks, Rams
owner Stan Kroenke has
probably the deepest pockets
and probably has the inside
track as a solo.
By all reports, the Raiders
The Knights finished 8-of-15 at the

line (53.3%) and committed 11 fouls and
11 turnovers.
The Pirates ended up 9-of-13 from
the stripe (69.2%) and totaled 14 fouls.
The hosts won the junior varsity tussle 40-26, led by the 12 of Riley Fenter.
Both units return to the court
Thursday in league play: Crestview
versus Jefferson at home (NWC) and
Continental hosting Ottoville (PCL);
both starting with the JV game at 6 p.m.
to defeat Lady Green

By Charlie Warnimont

COLUMBUS GROVE Columbus Grove is a team that

opponents will find hard to defend.
The Lady Bulldogs have two good inside players with the
guards to complement the bigs or vice-versa.
When teams attempt to take one of those facets away, the
Bulldogs have been fortunate to have the other aspect of their
game step up.
Ottoville faced that problem Saturday as they faced
Columbus Grove in a key Putnam County League matchup.
Early the Big Green tried to limit the touches for the
Bulldogs inside. Columbus Groves guards stepped up and
knocked down six 3-pointers in the opening half that helped
the Bulldogs to an early lead on their way to a 56-34 win over
the Big Green.
Columbus Grove improved to 3-0 in the PCL and 10-1
overall, while the Big Green dropped to 2-1 in the league and
10-2 overall.
They have very good players, a good team. They are not
going to lose a lot of games, Ottoville coach Dave Kleman
said. They have the inside players and we kind of tried to take
those away, then they hit six threes in the first half. We didnt
cover that very well and then they were able to get the ball
inside. They just have everything they need.
Ottoville played well early taking a 6-2 lead behind four
points from Bridget Landin on the inside. Thats when the
Bulldogs started to find its shooting eye as the next 15 points
they scored were in multiples of three.
Senior guard Kyrah Yinger started the streak with a pair of
3-pointers that gave the Bulldogs their first lead at 8-6. Junior
Macy McCluer gave the Bulldogs a 14-12 lead at the end of
the first quarter with a pair of 3-pointers. Sophomore Alexis
Thorbahn kept Ottoville close with five points, which included
a 3-pointer.
C.J. Kemper tied the game for Ottoville to start the second
quarter with two free throws. Columbus Grove started to break
the game open with an 8-0 run as Lynea Diller converted a
3-point play that was followed by a Jade Clement jumper and
a Brooke Hoffman 3-pointer that had Grove leading 22-14 with
6:01 left in the half.
We shot well, Columbus Grove coach Brian Schroeder
said. Sometimes thats the way it goes with two really good
teams. Usually the team that makes less mistakes and hits shots
wins. The first half, McCluer hit a couple of big threes, Kyrah
Yinger hit some big shots. You play harder and with a little
more confidence when your shots are going in.
Thorbahn halted the Bulldog run with a putback before
McCluer quickly answered with her third 3-pointer of the half.
After another Thorbahn basket for Ottoville, the Bulldogs finished the quarter with a 6-0 run as Paige Bellman scored down
low and Yinger a basket and two free throws.
Columbus Grove kept that run going into the third quarter
as Bellman and Hoffman scored making it 35-20. The Big
Green didnt go away as they went on a 9-0 run to make it
35-29. Clement ended the run with a 3-pointer and Bellman
had an inside basket that had the Bulldogs leading 40-29 after
three.
The Bulldogs opened the final quarter with a 9-2 run that
gave them a 49-31 lead and control of the game.
Yinger led the Bulldogs with 15 points, while Diller had 13
points and blocked five shots.

LCC stays unbeaten

at expense of Cougars

Lady Jays stymie Musketeers

BY JIM METCALFE
DELPHOS One might

have expected Saturday afternoons girls basketball clash
between St. Johns and Fort
Jennings to be somewhat of
a struggle as the first game of
the post-holiday part of the
2015-16 slate.
There was some of that for
both teams as they combined
for 52 total turnovers (29 for
the Lady Musketeers).
However, the Lady Blue
Jays were in sound shooting
form hitting 54.5 percent
of their attempts from the
floor and playing their
usual solid defense as they
banished the Musketeers
44-24 inside Robert A.
Arnzen Gymnasium.
The Jays (6-4) canned
18-of-33 shots (including
2-of-10 downtown) and held
the Musketeers (1-10) to 30.3
percent shooting (10-of-33,
2-of-8 long range).
Both teams had to deal
with any rust there was but
our defense was excellent for
the most part. We gave up a
few drives and some offensive rebounds but basically,
we did what we set out to
do, St. Johns head coach
Dan J. Grothouse said. They
had several girls that are very
aggressive and they are athletic overall, so we needed
to stay in front of them and

make things very uncomfortable for them offensively.
Offensively, we had moments
when we got the ball down
the floor and moved it very
well to get open looks. We
got to the line more and that
has been a point of emphasis,
not settling for the 3-pointer
all the time.
The only double-digit scorer for the Orange
and Black was sophomore
Vanessa Wallenhorst with 10.
We have struggled with
turnovers all season; part of
it is going to fast and trying
to make things happen. We
dont make the pass or we
bounce the ball off our feet
far too many times, Jennings
coach Rhonda Liebrecht
explained. We tried to create turnovers defensively and
we did that with some success but gave it back even
more when we did. Overall,
though, they outplayed us.
They had more fire, spark,
desire than we did from the
start.
The turnovers came early
and often as the Musketeers
committed 11 in the opening
period (out of 17 possessions)
versus the hosts man-to-man
half-court scheme and the
Jays eight (15 possessions)
against the guests 1-2-2 fullcourt and half-court matchup zones, with man mixed
in. The shots they both did
get a combined 13, with

the Jays making four and the
Musketeers three were
reasonably successful. After
a brief 2-2 tie, the Jays took
the lead for good on a basket
by Lexie Hays (6 markers, 4
boards, 3 assists, 2 steals) at
the 5-minute mark. Their lead
reached 9-2 on a basket by
Schulte at the halfway point
but the visitors made a 4-0
mini-run: a pair of deuces by
Jessie Young (4 markers, 3
thefts), the last at 48 ticks on
a putback; to make it 9-6 at
the end of one.
The Musketeers had starter Haley Wittler (3 boards, 2
steals) on the bench with her
second foul at 3:37.
The Musketeers continued
to strugtgle with turnovers
as well as two fouls to
Wallenhorst (5:53), Kylie
Jettinghoff (4:58) and Lillian
Wisner (3:45) in the second stanza (8), while the Jays
cut theirs in half (4). Thus,
the latter began to grow its
lead at a faster pace, shooting
5-of-11 and grabbing a 24-9
spread on a 3-ball from the
right corner by Schulte at
1:04. The Musketeers, who
canned 2-of-9, made it 24-11
on a putback by Jettinghoff (6
rebounds) at 30 ticks.
The turnovers became less
of an issue in the third (a
combined 10), so the shooting was the story: the Jays
with 6-of-10 versus 1-of-7 by
Grove
McCluer finished with nine points,
while Clement and Hoffman, five
assists, both had seven points.
Talent makes you look smart as
a coach, Schroeder said. When you
have girls that can score at the rim and
you have girls that can shoot outside.
These seniors have worked their butt off
the last couple of years and put in the
time. Its rewarding as a coach to see
them go out and play out so well. This is
a deep talented squad and its really fun
coaching them.
We knew this was going to be a
big game. This was our second big

test in the PCL and anytime you talk
about winning a PCL championship,
you talk about Ottoville, Kalida and
Leipsic. Those are the teams you have
to beat and Im just happy for our team.
Ottovilles a great team, we just hit a few
more shots than they did.
Landin led the Big Green with 10
points and Thorbahn chipped in with
nine.
We just didnt execute. We didnt
get the things done I wanted done,
Kleman said. We, obviously, didnt
do a good enough job in practice to get
it into their heads what I wanted done.
This is a good learning experience for
the visitors, their sole made

basket at 5:00 on a 3-point
play by Wallenhorst. Schulte
(5 points) and Hays (4) led
the Blue and Gold and when
Schulte drove to the rim at
1:16, they had the games
biggest lead to that point of
37-15.
In the finale, the Jays held
the games biggest advantage
42-19 on a Schulte duo
late and the coaches emptied
their benches.
Fort Jennings netted 2-of7 foul shots (28.6%); secured
23 caroms (13 offensive)
as Wisner added four; and
totaled 14 fouls.
St. Johns totaled 6-of-14
from charity (42.9%); nabbed
23 off the glass (8 offensive)
as Schulte added four; and
amassed 10 fouls. Hayleigh
Bacome dished four assists
and added four steals.

LIMA Van Wert needed to stay with high-powered

Lima Central Catholic from
the start of their boys basketball encounter Saturday night
inside LCCs Msgr. E.C. Herr
Gymnasium.
That didnt happen for the
Cougars.
Eight turnovers in the first
period, part of a 14-2 start,
put them behind the 8-ball en
route to a 72-40 Thunderbird
rout.
That start in the first 4:35
allowed the Thunderbirds
(9-0) to get into their lethal
transition game on their way
to taking a 20-7 lead at the
end of eight minutes.
The
Thunderbirds
unleashed a balanced attack
with four players in double
digits: Tre Cobbs with 17 (3
bombs), Nick Taflinger (2
trios) and Dantez Walton
headed to Northern Kentucky
with 13 each and Josh
Nixon 10.
That quartet paced a solid
shooting night 28-of-51
overall (54.9%), including
8-of-15 from 3-point land
(53.3%).
They also helped harass
the Cougars (1-7) into 16-of57 shooting from the field
(28.1%), including 5-of-16
beyond the arc (31.3%).
Despite the eight early
miscues, they only committed four more the rest of the
contest.
The T-Birds continued
to build a lead fueled by
defense and transition looks
and amassed a 41-19 halftime
bulge.
LCC didnt let up after
the halftime break as they
counted their first six shots
of the third four from long
range in opening a 57-23

edge. They finished 6-of-11
to the Cougars 4-of-17 as the
scoreboard read 57-25 at the
end of three.
Both coaches emptied
their benches in the fourth.
LCC outshot the Cougars
at the foul line 8-of-11
(72.7%) to 3-of-11 (27.3%)
and only turned it over four
times.
The Cougs won the board
battle 35-32.

Movie Review
Star Wars
"We Are Family"
Directed by J.J. Abrams

PG
Deep into the most

anticipated movie of the year,
two central characters
one old, one neware on a
desperate mission and in a very
tight spot.
People are counting on
us, veteran smuggler Han
Solo (Harrison Ford) growls.
The galaxy is counting on
us.
That pretty much sums up
the lofty expectations placed
on the movie, as well. The
first new Star Wars film in
nearly a decade, the seventh
in the franchise, and the first
since Disney bought the rights
from founding father-directorcreator George Lucas, it comes
cloaked in secrecy and with
a mothership of baggage.
Diehard fans have been waiting
for it for years. Speculation has
been building for months. What
will J.J. Abrams, the director of
two Star Trek movies, bring to
itor do to it? Its expected
to be the biggest box-office
moneymaker of the year, if not
the decade, and maybe of all
time.
So peopleand perhaps
the whole the galaxyare
indeed counting on this new
Star Wars, and I dont think
theyll be disappointed. Its got
everything any fan could want:
powerful nostalgia, exciting
new characters, rousing action,
stirring emotion, spectacular
scenery, eye-popping effects,
and a plot that threads things
that happened decades ago with
things unfolding nowand
points to things yet to come.
You probably already know
that several iconic actors
return. Harrison Fords Han

intergalactic general Hux.
Lupita Nyongo is cool but
completely unrecognizable as
the alien proprietress of a wayout-there interplanetary saloon
frequented by a spectrum of
crazy cosmic characters.
And the new little bleeping,
beeping, cooing, purring
snowman of a robot, BB-8, is
a real scene-stealer.
With

A year-round college-planning calendar Helpful hints to

for parents and prospective students
make your money
BY NATHANIEL SILLIN
Preparing your kids for

college isnt just about the
money youve put aside for
tuition, room and board. Its
about making deadlines,
making the right choices and
making sure your teen has the
proper life and money skills
to make college a success.
Consider a college-planning calendar you and your
university-bound student can
follow. Here are some seasonal activities to consider
adding to yours:
Winter
No matter how youve
prepared financially for your
teens college education, kick
off the year with a visit to a
qualified financial and tax
professional. You might also
consider paying for a separate advisory session for your
teen so they know how to
handle money before they

leave for college. January is
also a good month to learn
about the Free Application
for Federal Student Aid,
better known as the FAFSA
(https://fafsa.ed.gov), as its
best to fill out the form right
after Jan.1 to avoid missing
out on available federal and
state (https://fafsa.ed.gov/
deadlines.htm) aid going
into your teens freshman
year. That first FAFSA filing will give you an idea of
what your Effective Family
Contribution (EFC) (http://
www.practicalmoneyskills.
com/collegeaid) will be.
Consult trusted friends
and family members for their
advice on affording college
and strategies to secure grants
and scholarships. Resources
like FinAid.org and Edvisors.

ways to afford college, but

it also helps to have face-toface expertise.

Start evaluating potential schools with your
teen. The U.S. Department
of Educations College
Affordability
and
Transparency Center (http://
collegecost.ed.gov) features
a range of calculators and
resources to help you narrow down school choices
with the chance for your teen
to secure the most scholarships and grants money that
doesnt have to be paid back.
Spring
Springtime is a good season to start talking about
summer jobs and internships
that will make for a more
attractive college application.
Internship application periods may be year-round with
many deadlines happening in
the gall. If you are expecting
your teen to contribute some
part of their earnings or savings for future college costs,
its worthwhile to review
earning, spending, budgeting,
tax and savings fundamentals theyll need to manage
money in school.
Also, if your teen hasnt
been exposed to banking
on a regular basis, its time.
Work with them to compare fees and services on
various checking and savings accounts and consider
whether it might be wise for
you to bank with the same
institution to allow for easier
transfer of necessary funds
from your account to theirs.
Also encourage them to find
an organized way of keeping track of their finances on
paper, on computer or online
(https://www.mint.com).
Summer
Summer is a time for fun,
but its also a good time to
research potential schools

and scholarship programs

and even take a quick campus
tour. The U.S. Department of
Educations scholarship site
(https://studentaid.ed.gov/
sa/types/grants-scholarships/
finding-scholarships) offers
basic guidance in finding
such money and local companies and organizations
including places where your
teen can work or intern may
offer local awards.
If your teen is heading into
their senior year, the fall is
going to be busy. Get admissions test dates and college
admissions deadlines down
on your calendar as soon as
possible. Also budget for
college application fees as
well as fees for admissions
prep tests and the main SAT
or ACT tests (more on that
below) which may cost well
in excess of $50 based on
which test or tests your
teen needs to take.
Fall
Fall is the season for
college admissions tests,
but for students with extra
time before graduation, its
also the season for test prep
(http://www.usnews.com/
education/best-colleges/testprep). Higher-scoring students on such achievement
tests generally are in a better
position for admissions or
certain types of financial aid.
High-school sophomores take
the PSAT as a primary qualification for National Merit
Scholarships, but it also gives
an early indication of how
students may do during their
junior year on their ACT or
SAT test, whichever they are
encouraged to take. Get your
student to check directly with
the colleges of their choice to
see which tests they require.
Finally, the closer your
teen gets to freshman year,
the more specific the dates
on the calendar become. For
college-bound seniors, fall
is the time for narrowing
down college choices after
visits, interviews or auditions so applications can be
sent. Once acceptance letters
arrive, its time for parents
and teens to evaluate financial aid packages.
Bottom line: Creating a
college-planning calendar
can help you and your teen
target desired schools, learn
about money management
and break down funding
obstacles. Set it up as early
as possible.

(StatePoint) If your 2016 resolution is to spend less and save

more, youre not alone. A quarter of US consumers are making
money-saving resolutions, according to Nielsen surveys.
While everyone sets out with the best of intentions, the truth
is that only eight percent of us are successful at achieving
our New Years goals, according to research published in the
University of Scranton Journal of Clinical Psychology. With a
little preparation you can be the exception to the rule.
Prioritize goals: While you may think that saving money, getting promoted at work and earning a significant pay increase sound like great aspirations, you may be biting off more
than you can chew. Instead of making a long list of possible
resolutions, determine one or two top priorities so you can fully devote yourself to those goals.
Make Measurable, Attainable Resolutions: Once youve
set your money-saving goals, determine how youll measure
success. For example, if you are saving for your dream vacation, determine how much to set aside for the trip and how
much to save each month to reach that goal. Then, set shortand long-term milestones to help you stay motivated.
Save for a rainy day: Putting away a small amount every
week for emergencies can add up to big savings in the long
run.
Replace household items: Even though your refrigerator
or fixtures may be working fine, they may be using more energy or water than they should. To save on water bills choose
a quality faucet with a lower flow rate. For example, the new
Kaden high-arc pulldown kitchen faucet from Moen offers a
low flow rate with a sleek design thats easy on the wallet. Its
long-lasting, too, which also saves money in the long run, as
its offered in Moens exclusive Spot Resist Stainless finish,
which helps resist fingerprints and water spots to maintain the
brilliance of the fixture.
Repurpose your stuff: One way to save is by repurposing
what you already own. Use the New Year as a time to clean
out closets, empty storage units and breathe new life into
items by refinishing furniture or updating existing pieces
of clothing. You can even sell clothes you dont wear as often
through your own shop on websites like eBay or Poshmark.
Heat up your savings: If you rely on oil to heat your
home, contact your energy provider to determine whether you
can pre-pay to lock into lower rates. This way, you wont have
to worry about rising prices when the temperatures go down.
Setting achievable goals and planning ahead can help you
stick with your resolution to save money.

Let loose a little bit this

week.
TAURUS Apr 21/May

21
Taurus, expect to feel
pulled in two directions
this week. Its a pivotal time at work, but in
the same measure, you
have much going on at
home. Think things over
carefully.
GEMINI May 22/Jun
21
Gemini, you may find
your energy levels unusually low this week,
and your productivity
may suffer as a result.
Maybe someone else
can energize you a bit
and lend a helping hand.
CANCER Jun 22/Jul
22
Cancer, you will get
to your destination soon
enough, but the trip may
be a bit of a headache.
Patience is essential this
week; otherwise, you
may give up prematurely.
LEO Jul 23/Aug 23
Misinformation
is
spreading, so research
everything to make informed decisions this
week, Leo. It may help
you avoid an expensive
mistake down the line.
VIRGO Aug 24/Sept
22
Virgo, you may have
a wonderful time with
family or friends this
week, even if you are
crunched for time. Savor
the small moments as
they come your way.
LIBRA Sept 23/Oct 23
Libra, this is a good
week to catch up on paperwork, filing or tedious
tasks you have let fall by
the wayside. Make use
of the slow week to recharge.
SCORPIO Oct 24/Nov
22
Scorpio, you will be
missed as much as you
miss another person
this week. Wait out this
separation a little while
longer, keeping in mind
that your reunion is on
its way.
SAGITTARIUS Nov
23/Dec 21
Do whatever you
need to do to rejuvenate
your spirit, Sagittarius.
Spend some more time
with friends and avoid
prolonged solo activities.
Soon your motivation will
return.
CAPRICORN Dec 22/
Jan 20
Capricorn, this may
turn out to be a strange
week, as you cant seem
to fully focus on anything. You may get frustrated at your inability to
concentrate, but that focus will return soon.
AQUARIUS Jan 21/
Feb 18
Aquarius, if you become too wrapped up
in business or personal
obligations, take a step
back and reevaluate
your priorities. Some
things need to be rearranged.
PISCES Feb 19/Mar
20
Pisces, you are on
a quest this week to
find the perfect gift for a
friend. This person will
appreciate your efforts,
and your bond will only
grow stronger.

12 The Herald
Sister
Test
Council
The first day I arrived there was a group of people

here to welcome me and Im always getting calls to see
if I need anything or if they can help me in any way,
she said. The response has been heartwarming and they
seem happy Im here.
The Sisters of Notre Dame have also made her feel
welcome.
I love spending time with them, she said. We have
formed a great relationship and our charism is quite similar and weve all be called by God to serve and love.
Sr. Immacolata received her calling in seventh grade.
She embraced the joy and love of kids and people in
general the sisters exemplified at the school. Her class
was watching Jesus of Nazareth and when she saw one
of the sisters crying during the crucifixion of Jesus and
she was so moved, she decided then what she would do
with her life.
My experience with the sisters really opened my
eyes to the vocation of loving Gods people, she said.
I am so honored that God called me to this life. Every
day, I am so grateful.
Her arrival in Landeck was no accident.
Father Dennis Walsh had talked with my community
leadership numerous times over the past three years and
he always mentioned me serving in the Toledo Diocese,
she said. I prayed about it and leadership of the Sisters
of Christian Charity prayed about it and we felt this is
where God wanted me to be, so here I am.
As parish manager, she is in charge of the day-to-day
operations of the church, including finances, organizing
and running committees, keeping traditions, visiting the
sick and bringing them Communion and getting people
involved.
We are the body of Christ, she began. The whole
body has to be active and alive.
Sr. Immacolata, 47, was born and raised in the Bronx,
New York, one of six children, the first to be born in
America. She is also the first in her family to give her
life to God and the Church. Her easy smile and infectious laugh show how happy she is with her lifes calling.
You take yourself with you wherever God sends
you, she said. Ive been happy every place Ive been
but its also part of my vows of obedience.
Her last assignment was with Saint Nicholas-Saint
Marys School in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, where
she taught sixth, seventh and eighth grade and was a
youth minister. While she has a slightly different role in
Landeck, she still gets to interact with the children of the
parish through religious education classes and preparing
Mass servers. On Friday, she will be a visiting teacher
in the freshman religion class at St. Johns High School.
I am really looking forward to going to the school
and teaching in that setting, she said. Ive had the middle-school-age children and freshmen arent that different. Many say the children must lead the way. It sparks
my vocation to see their vocation live out.
Fuerst also got another

bit of good news from the
state last year. The school
has been taken off the Ohio
Improvement Process.
Very few schools get out
of that once they are there,
Fuerst explained. Its a lot
of extra work for teachers
with reporting and paperwork and just a lot of busy
work that isnt very productive. I got the call last school
year and when the lady told
me we were no longer on the
list, it was a huge relief and
that time could be spent on
preparing our kids for the
next level.
Fuerst said there is a down
side to how well his students
scored.
When you are at the top
theres only one place to
go, he said. Can we maintain this every year? I dont
know. But we sure are excited that were there now.
The life expectancy of these tanks if 30

years and the filter media is no longer viable, Mansfield said. It has been questionable every year if the system will start up.
Mansfield said it would take 6-10 weeks
to get the materials and two weeks for installation.
Coleman said he would like to have
everything in place to start the project as
soon as possible in the spring.
The project costs $59,000 and the city
did receive $10,000 from the Dienstberger
Foundation for the new system.
Council heard on first reading a resolution establishing the policy and intent to sell
unneeded, obsolete or unfit property owned
by the city on GovDeals.com. The sales fee
for the city to sell items on the website is 5
percent with the buyer paying 7.5 percent.
Coucilman Clement asked if Coleman
thought that was the best place to sell items
and if the local auction house might be a
better place to get rid of the equipment,
and Councilman Kemper questioned how
people would know if the city was selling
something.
Anyone can go on GovDeals.com,
Coleman explained. We sold a truck to a
guy in Columbus last year and another to

Mrs. Harry Dunlap
was elected president of
Phi Delta Sorority during
a meeting held Monday
evening in the home of
Nadine Van Schoyck.
Dunlap succeeds Mrs.
Kenneth Miller, 1965
president. An informal
initiation of pledges was
conducted following the
business meeting. Pledges
were Mrs. Thomas Groves,
Mrs. David Griffis, Mrs.
Richard Gengler, Mrs.
James Brenneman, and
Judy Swallow.
75 Years Ago 1941
St. Johns Blue and
Gold Varsity ended a fourgame losing streak at the
expense of one of their
ancient rivals Sunday
afternoon, defeating Lima
St. Rose in a contest which
was nip and tuck all the
way. The final score was
31 to 30. Led by James
Plescher, who scored 12
points, three of his field
goals being of the long
variety, the Blue and Gold
again came through with a
fine performance.
A most impressive
installation service for
officers of the Methodist
Church School was held
Sunday morning at the regular worship service. Dr.
George Heizer, pastor of
the church, gave a sermon
on the topic New Year and
Its Opportunities. Mary
Etta Currey presented Dr.
Heizer with a gold book
in which were written the
names of the new officers
for the church school and
Epworth League.
Mrs.
Ralph Weger
was named president of
the Altar Society of St.
Johns parish at the monthly meeting conducted at
the school Sunday afternoon. Other officers elected are: Mrs. Ed. Trentman,
vice president; Mrs. Otto
Kavermann,
secretary;
Mrs. J. W. Clark, treasurer;
and Mrs. Arthur Humpert,
reporter. The counsellors
are Mrs. Henry Moenter,
Mrs. A. L. Hemker,
Mrs. Ed. Bockey, Mrs.

someone even closer. I really cant say if

wed do better at the local auction but anyone
who is interested in this type of thing will go
to GovDeals.com. Its every well-known.
Auditor Tom Jettinghoff provided council
with a rundown on the overtime costs to the
city for the last quarter of 2015 compaired to
the last quarter of 2014 and an overall comparison of 2015 and 2014. Overtime logged
in the last quarter of 2015 was nearly $5,000
less than in 2014 at $30,858 and the overtime
overall in 2015 was more than $8,000 less at
$122,357.
The Police Department saw the biggest
decrease in overtime with $77,731 in 2014
versus $51,696 in 2015. Wastewater saw the
biggest increase at $13,801 in 2015 compared to $890 in 2014. Coleman said that
jump was directly attributed to researching
the project at the plant.
The overtime looks a lot better,
Councilman Fortener said. I hope we see
even less in 2016 with addition of the
fulltime firefighters and everything running
smoothly at the wastewater treatment plant.
Council is still working on a permanent 2016 Budget. Finance Committee Chair
Gillespie will meet with all department heads
and the administration to go over individual
budgets.
Need-based scholarships are available

for private schools and homeschool
SYLVANIA The Northwest Ohio
Scholarship Fund (NOSF) is accepting
applications for the 2016-2017 school
year for need-based scholarships for
grades Kindergarten through eighth
worth up to $1,500 for children to use
at a nonpublic school or $500 for homeschool expenses. Families need to reside
in Allen, Crawford, Defiance, Erie,
Fulton, Hancock, Henry, Huron, Lucas,
Ottawa, Paulding, Putnam, Richland,
Sandusky, Seneca, Van Wert, Williams,
Wood or Wyandot counties.
NOSF is a partner with the Childrens
Scholarship Fund and awards needbased scholarships to provide parents
with a choice for their childs education. The Childrens Scholarship Fund
was founded in 1998 by the late Ted
Forstmann and the late John Walton who
saw a need for educational alternatives
for families.
Since 1999, the Northwest Ohio
Scholarship Fund has awarded a total of
$11.4 million in scholarships to 13,400
students, part of that includes $4 million in matching funds. All funds raised
locally by NOSF are matched by the
Childrens Scholarship Fund and are
used for scholarships in NW Ohio.
The Northwest Ohio Scholarship
Fund is the only privately funded needbased scholarship program in northwest
Ohio that awards scholarships to chil-
dren who otherwise might not be able

to afford private schools for kindergarten through eighth grade and who do
not qualify for an Educational Choice
Voucher. Eligible families are required
to demonstrate their financial need as
measured by standards similar to the
Federal School Lunch program.
Interested families can find more
information about the program and apply
online on the NOSF website at www.
nosf.org. For more information please
contact Northwest Ohio Scholarship
Fund at (419) 720-7048. Deadline to
apply for the 2016-2017 school year is
Friday, April 29.

Answers in Saturdays Herald.
A customer was continually bothering the waiter in
a restaurant at first hed asked that the air conditioning
be turned up because he was too hot, then he asked it
be turned down because he was too cold, and so on for
about half an hour.
Surprisingly, the waiter was very patient, he walked
back and forth and never once got angry. So finally, a
second customer asked him why he didnt throw out
the pest.
Oh, that man I dont care. said the waiter with a
smile. We dont even have an air conditioner.
Invasive Treatment for Pelvic Pain
A teenager with cramps so intense she

could not go to school
A 30-year-old whose pelvic pain led to
severe emotional distress
An elderly woman who found the simple
act of sitting to be unbearable
For more than 25 years Dr. Maurice Chung
has treated these women and others for a
range of problems, including menstrual pain,
sexual pain, bladder control, and organ prolapse. He is quietly passionate about dealing
with pain in the least invasive way possible.
Avoid Unnecessary Surgery
Pelvic pain is often misdiagnosed as
endometriosis, Dr. Chung explains. In fact,
endometriosis an abnormality of the uterus
accounts for only about 20% of all cases.
Looking at the symptom too narrowly can
lead to the wrong treatment. For example, if a
single organ such as the uterus is believed to
be the culprit, unnecessary surgery can result.
But when other issues are involved such as
nerve or muscle damage even a treatment as
drastic as hysterectomy (surgical removal of
the uterus) wont be effective.
Dr. Chung is committed to helping women
avoid unnecessary surgery. When a woman
comes to me with severe pain, I start with the
least invasive treatment approach. The vast
majority of pelvic pain cases do not require
major surgery, he says.
New Center for Treating Pelvic Pain

Dr. Chung oversees the Van Wert County
Hospital Womens Center of Excellence for
Pelvic Pain, Organ Prolapse and Bladder
Control, a comprehensive treatment facility
opened in 2015. Visitors to the Center include
women at every stage of life, from teenagers
to the elderly.
A graduate of Northeastern University
College of Pharmacy and Tufts University
Medical School, Dr. Chung is board-certified
in both OB-GYN and uro-gynecology and has
been a certified laparoscopic surgeon since
1995.
Pain is not normal
Women may think that symptoms such
as severe menstrual cramps or pressure on
the bladder caused by aging are unavoidable. Or they may be embarrassed to discuss
issues like painful intercourse and urinary
incontinence. Sometimes, after unsuccessful
attempts to treat pelvic pain, women are made
to feel the problem is all in their head.
Women have a tendency to care for family and loved ones first and may neglect or
downplay their own discomfort, Dr. Chung
says. But pain is not normal. We take all
symptoms seriously, and we want our patients
to know they are not alone. With proper diagnosis and treatment, there is a good possibility
we can eliminate or significantly reduce pain
without drastic measures.
