St. Rita’s to host robotics symposium


LIMA — As the regional leader in robotic surgery, St. Rita’s is proud to share its expertise with the community by hosting a robotics sympo-sium on Friday offering phy-sicians and medical staff the chance to view live robotic surgery and learn from our physicians about the benefits and the knowledge and skill behind the machines.

There will also be a hands-on session for local high school students on Thursday.

Both events are at the UNOH Event Center. Thursday’s event runs from 1-4 p.m. and will give students access to both a simulator and an actual surgical robot.

League of Women Voters of Lima area to meet


LIMA — The League of Women Voters of the Lima Area will hold its annual meet-ing at the Meeting Place on Market Street today. Dinner will be served at 5:30 p.m. and the program will begin at 6:30 with keynote speak-er, Kevin Martin, Lima City Chief of Police, sharing the ways local government agen-cies share services to help stretch the local tax dollars. A business meeting for elec-tion of the board and approval of the 2014-15 program will follow. The meeting will con-clude at 7:30 p.m.

Following that meeting, Chief Martin did additional research on the cooperative efforts in the area and will share his findings at this meeting.

The League of Women Voters of the Lima Area is part of a national non-partisan organization founded in 1920 that encourages citizens to take an active and informed role in government. Providing programs on important topics is part of the organization’s mission.

School, tax changes move through SenateCOLUMBUS (AP) — As he

heads into a fall re-election bid, Ohio Gov. John Kasich on Tuesday backed a package of new tax cuts and a one-year reprieve from school district and teacher penalties related to the state’s new education and teacher evaluation standards.

Those and a host of other propos-als were woven into four midterm budget bills headed toward likely floor votes today in the GOP-led Ohio Senate. All four bills have already cleared the Ohio House, but state representatives would have another chance to review Senate changes.

Kasich’s tax proposal includes accelerating a planned 10 percent income-tax reduction by six months by reducing withholding rates on the final 1 percent in July rather than January.

His plan would also boost small business income-tax reductions to 75 percent from 50 percent for tax year 2014 and would double the earned income tax credit available to low-income Ohioans from 5 percent to 10 percent of the fed-eral credit. Another change would raise personal income-tax exemp-tions for low- and middle-income taxpayers making under $80,000 a year.

The administration said stronger state revenue than expected would allow for the cuts, estimated at $402 million.

Ohio Association of Foodbanks executive director Lisa Hamler-Fugitt urged lawmakers to support the tax credit expansion.

“Millions of our friends and neighbors continue to live in pov-erty, in spite of working hard every day, due to low wages and rising costs of living,” she said, adding that the tax would help “make work pay.”

Under amendments incorporated into a midterm budget bill on edu-cation, which cleared the Senate Education Committee on Tuesday, Ohio school districts and teach-ers would get a one-year reprieve from funding penalties or job sanc-tions tied to new state learning and teacher-evaluation standards.

Districts and teachers would get a pass on any performance defi-ciencies or test score declines iden-tified as new standards are phased in. No job sanctions related to those evaluations would be imposed during the 2015-16 school year. It also says funding allotments would remain at current levels, without regard to report card changes that occur while Ohio phases in new student assess-

ments and graduation tests.Teachers across the state have

been under review and observation starting this school year, and are required to meet certain performance targets under the law to keep certain assignments and avoid penalties.

A teacher union leader and other school officials expressed relief about the changes.

“We’re pleased that state lawmak-ers are listening to the concerns of parents and educators that too many school districts in Ohio are not ready to implement the new Common Core standards and related assessments,” Ohio Education Association presi-dent Becky Higgins said in a state-ment. “While this is a step in the right direction, we believe more time will be needed than just one year to get it right.”

Damon Asbury, legislative ser-vices director for the Ohio School Boards Association, said in an email that the group agrees districts and teachers should not be unduly penal-ized as they go through the transition period to new standards.

Additional education revisions adopted by the Senate panel stipu-late to local control over the curric-ulum, textbooks and course mate-rials used in Ohio classrooms as Ohio phases in multi-state Common

Core learning standards.Also, under the bill, seven-

member academic standards review committees would be established in English, social studies, science and math. The committees would review tests given in schools and would recommend any changes. Each committee would include three content experts, a teacher, a parent, and designees of the state chancellor and superintendent. Members would be appointed by the governor and legislative leaders. Tests and answers would become a public record. He said the proposed expanded public review should gain more widespread support.

Asbury said the proposed expanded public review should help gain more support for the new stan-dards and assessments.

Senators voted to prohibit col-lection or dissemination to the fed-eral government of certain personal data about students, including their political or religious affiliations. Aggregate test data would still be provided to the U.S. Department of Education, as it is now.

The bill also would require the state school board to devel-op Ohio’s standards for science, American history and American government.

UD basketball crowds require $57K in police OT

DAYTON (AP) — Dayton-area taxpayers shelled out $57,000 in overtime costs for police officers to control crowds after University of Dayton basketball wins in the NCAA tournament in March.

A Dayton police report says officers from 13 jurisdic-tions helped clear the streets of rowdy revelers after the Flyers won their first three games of the tournament.

In the three days of cele-brations, a total of 350 officers patrolled the campus. They endured thrown beer bottles, fist-swinging brawlers, fire-works, couches set afire, curses and intoxicated partiers jumping up and down on cars.

Sowing Jesus’ LoveBy Lexie Hays

2nd place local, 2nd place stateI spread Jesus’ love like

a sower spreads seeds.I plant good deeds that

grow despite the weeds.Although sometimes the

seeds fall on rocky ground,This love is strong

enough to go around.I scatter compliments to those feeling down.

This kind of love is conta-gious and spreads across town,

And when I can see that the crops have grown,I know the result of the love I have shown.

Jesus Loves UsHow Do We Spread That Love?

By Ryan Stocksdale2nd place local, 2nd place state

I can spread God’s love. God’s love is super important because we know we can count on him when we are having trouble in our life. There are a lot of rea-sons we need to spread God’s love. Here are some reasons how spreading God’s love is important in our life.

I can go to church, say my bedtime prayers, and pray in the morning. I can also respect all things God has made. God’s creation is so important that’s why I think I should respect other peo-ple’s property. Another way to respect God’s creation is by not littering Earth. Finally, I can help my friends who get bullied.

I think I should be kind to people. Being nice is always the right thing to do. Being kind is how I make friends. Sometimes I try to be nice to kids in my class even though they aren’t nice back to me. And I think being kind is how I spread God’s love. Another way I can be kind is by helping my neighbors shovel snow.

I can also spread God’s love by set-ting a good example to little kids. If I act grown up and nice around them then they will learn to act grown up and nice like me. Then, those kids will act nicer just like Jesus. I think this is a great way to spread God’s love.

Finally, I know how much God wants met to spread his love. It’s not just when I feel like it but every chance I get. Even if it’s only a smile, a pat on the back, or a thumbs up. God wants me to show others I care. I will keep trying to make God happy by showing him that I can be a good person.


By Joey Jacomet1st place local, 1st place state

Jesus was the Savior of humanity. He was a generous, compassionate person to everyone he met. Jesus did many things to show his followers that he loved them. He healed the sick, gave aid to the poor, and spread his Gospel to others so they would know of God’s love for them. There are many things we can do in our lifetime to be like Jesus and spread His love to others.

Jesus healed lepers and blind people and even raised the dead. Although we can’t raise the dead, we can do things to help people who are ill. We can visit them in the hospital to try to keep their spirits and give them joy. We can donate money to families with illness to help them pay for medical treatment. Also, we can donate blood or plasma that could be given to people who need it. All of these things can be done to express Jesus’ love for others.

Jesus gave food and drink to the poor and took them into his flock. We can also help people who are in need by donating money or items that they could use. We could volunteer with groups like the St. Vincent DePaul Society or donate our time at a soup kitchen or homeless shelter. It is important to remember not

to judge those who have less than we do, because Jesus loved everyone even if they were very poor.

Another way that we can help spread the love of Jesus is to come together to worship God just as Jesus did with his followers. Our church is an important part of our community because it does many things to help others. It is also a meeting place for people who share the same beliefs in God to get together and praise Him. We can tell people about our church and encourage them to get to know Jesus by inviting them to attend with us.

We have a responsibility to try to spread the love that Jesus has shown us to others. There are lots of ways that we can do this in our community. Giving of ourselves to the sick or poor and shar-ing the Gospel in our churches are just a few of those ways. If we take the time to think about how much Jesus loves us and what he has done for us, we can probably find many more ways to spread His love to others.


By Katlynn Feathers1st place local, 3rd place state

We all know that Jesus loves us. There are so many ways that we can share his love with one another. One of the many ways I share his love is going to church every week together with my family. A family that prays together stays together.

At home I share Jesus’ love by trying to listen to my parents the first time they tell me to do something and by not com-plaining when I don’t want to do some-thing or disagree with them. I also share his love by not fighting or picking on my brothers. By just walking away when I get upset instead of hitting or yelling at them. Showing respect to my parents helps share Jesus’ love and also teaches my younger brothers about his love.

I share Jesus’ love at school by not spreading rumors or talking bad about people. Also by being nice to everyone even though they may not be nice to me or my friends. By helping other students that are struggling in class is also anoth-er way I spread Jesus’ love to others. Treating all classmates and teachers as I would want to be treated is how I know I’m spreading Jesus’ love.

Jesus loves us all and there are so many ways to share and show his love to one another. The way I know I’m shar-ing his love is if I can say I’m treating others with love and respect then I know I’m sharing Jesus’ love with others.

Jesus loves usHow do we spread that love?

By Annette Klausing2nd place local, 2nd place state

Jesus loves us from our head to our toes.

How much is that? No one knows.He wants us to spread his love every way.

He wants us to do this every day.Share our talents. Share our love.A message sent from God above.

We need to prac-tice the Golden Rule.In work and in school.

Not a job, But a CallingBy Madison Kreeger

1st place local, 2nd place stateWe will never be able to duplicate our

love for mankind like our Lord.Scourged, beaten, and mocked, then

nailed to a board.I choose to follow his example, all be

it not in such an extreme way.Patient care, compassion, and dignity

are my orders of the day.Smiles, kind words, or just a simple

touch,Helps me convey to them the Lord

loves them very much.Each of us has a journey on this

Earth, but we do not know how long.Why not continue throughout your

life to spread Jesus’ love and keep his memory strong.

Show Jesus’ LoveBy Cole Gordon

1st place local, 1st place state

Jesus died on the cross to show us his love.

For Jesus was sent from God above.He taught us to care for all things.

His love for creation makes my heart sing.We think of God’s love

with prayer before bed.The love of God is impor-

tant to spread.We obey his command-

ments knowing we should.Most of all love thy neigh-

bor as Jesus would.Love of the Lord

By Doris Lindeman1st place local, 1st place state

The love of the Lord is our strengthAdoration of the Lord is our gift

The span of our love has great lengthResults of this love are swift

Love and generosity spread to othersOpens our hearts in a very special way

Share your love with your sisters and brothers

Always, always remember to pray.How Do I Promote

Peace in the World?By Makayla Herron

2nd place local, 2nd place stateHow do I promote peace in the

world? The answer is simple; I help out voluntarily. I help my neighbors out by mowing their lawns in the summer and shoveling for them in the winter with my brother. That type of thing.

When I’m with a couple of friends or my family and I see a person sitting alone, I usually go up to them and talk to them. I never like seeing people alone, especially older people. Sometimes though I don’t because I’m shy or I don’t know what to say.

In summer when I’m not busy with sports or anything, I help out at the library with story time for the little kids. It’s really fun and it means a lot to the librarians. Usually by the end of sum-mer, I make a couple of little friends who are excited to see me whenever I come.

How else do I promote peace in the world? Well, I help out at home. I help clean around the house, sometimes my brothers and I do it without my parents knowing and when they come home, they’re really surprised and it makes me feel good when they said that they’re proud of us, which makes me want to do it more often. I also hang out with my brothers so they won’t bother my parents about wanting someone to play with them.

I promote peace in the world at school, too. I’m friendly to people, I’ll go up to kids who are alone and talk to them, which means a lot to them and I feel good about that. I help out when some people don’t understand some-thing. I also try to include everyone because I know how it feels to be alone and I don’t want anyone to feel like that.

Another example is when I’m in a store or restaurant, I’ll hold the door open for whoever is behind me. The people are really appreciative about it and smile at me. Some even say “Thanks.” And I just smile at them. My parents or whoever I’m with say that what I did was a really nice thing to do and I just smile.

Most of the time when I see someone as I’m walking past them, I’ll give them a smile to brighten up their day and when I see someone having a bad day, I’ll help them by trying to cheer them up and when I do cheer them up, I give them a small hug and make sure that they are feeling better all day.

One last example, every time I know one of my friends are in something, like a choir concert, I’ll try to make it and give them support and if I don’t, I’ll say that they did great because I know they did.

All the things I’ve mention, probably makes me sound like I always do the right thing, when really I don’t. I fight with my brothers and parents, I don’t help out sometimes. But I do try my best to promote peace in the world.

BY LOVINA EICHER

Another rainy day! It has been rainy all week. We were able to get all the clothes dried on Monday even though there was a shower after the clothes were on the lines. We need to do laundry again and sure am hoping for a nice day on Friday or Saturday.

Tonight, the men from our church dis-trict will gather here to practice sing-ing songs from the Ausbund, our German church songbook. It is a good way to get the younger men to learn how to lead all the songs. I need to make something today for a snack to serve to them after the singing.

We are enjoying asparagus, rhubarb, mushrooms and winter onions, all of those early garden goodies. The dandelions are over with for another year. Once the flowers come out the greens become bitter and not so good to eat.

Saturday afternoon, our visitors were sis-ter Liz, Levi, and their four children. Also, their daughter Elizabeth’s special friend, Samuel. We would have liked to have joined them at my sister’s Verena and Susan’s house for supper but had plans already. We were asked to be chaperones for the youth at the community building along with our neighbors, Joas and Susan.

We left around 6 p.m. to go to the com-munity building which is around 10 miles from here. The parents that chaperone usu-ally take snacks for the youth. So we had a variety of different snacks and also coffee and punch.

The youth can play basketball, volleyball or board games. We arrived home after mid-night, which is something were not used to doing anymore. We could sleep late the next morning, though, since it was not a church Sunday.

Sister Susan had her 38th birthday on Saturday, May 10. She had us all invited to their house on Sunday for dinner in honor of her birthday.

Brother Albert, Sarah Irene, and six of their children drove to Verena and Susan’s house on Saturday evening with horses and buggy. They stayed until Sunday afternoon. Albert’s moved to the west end of their community so they live closer than before, around 15-17 miles from here now. They made the trip in 1 1/2 hours. Albert’s are in the process of building all new buildings so they have a lot of work ahead. They are renting a house close by their new land.

Daughter Lovina will be 10 on Sunday. She is excited so she can now start sitting with the girls in church instead of beside me. It makes them feel so much more mature when they don’t have to sit with a parent anymore. It will be a change for me to not have any little ones beside me. Joe still has Kevin beside him for a little over a year yet. How fast these years go and the older I get the more time seems to fly.

Daughter Susan moved her pony Roxie and her colt home. It had been at Timothy’s place. It’s always interesting to see a frisky little foal running in the field. The horses and ponies are happy to be out on pasture. These rains will make the grass keep grow-ing.

Try this different way of using your aspara-gus. God bless!

Ohio hunters check more than 16,500 Wild Turkeys during Spring season

Information Submitted

COLUMBUS — Ohio hunters checked 16,556 wild turkeys during the combined 2014 wild turkey hunting season and youth wild turkey hunting season April 19-May 18.

The top 10 counties for the wild turkey harvest were Ashtabula (615), Tuscarawas (493), Coshocton (484), Guernsey (466), Muskingum (453), Belmont (444), Monroe (424), Trumbull (417), Knox (415) and Meigs (397).

Wild turkey hunters checked 18,391 birds in 2013.Hunters checked 8,074 birds during the first full week of the

2014 wild turkey season. Young hunters checked 1,480 birds during the 2014 youth season.

Ohio’s 2014 spring wild turkey sea-son was open April 21 through May 18. Youth season was April 19-20. Find more information about wild turkey hunting at wildohio.gov.

Wild turkeys were extirpated in Ohio by 1904 and were reintroduced in the 1950s by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Wildlife. Ohio’s first modern-day wild turkey season opened in 1966 in nine counties and hunters checked 12 birds. The wild turkey harvest topped 1,000 for the first time in 1984. Spring turkey hunting opened statewide in 2000 and Ohio hunters checked more than 20,000 wild turkeys for the first time that year.

ODNR ensures a balance between wise use and protection of our natural resources for the benefit of all. Visit the ODNR website at ohiodnr.gov.

Council supporting ‘Wear It’ safe boating campaign

Information Submitted

This week is National Safe Boating Week, held May 17-23.

It’s a reminder for both experienced and inexperi-enced boaters to always be safe on the water and kicks off the yearlong ‘Wear It!’ national campaign promoting safe boat-ing. For many, this could be a life-sav-ing reminder before they go boating this upcoming Memorial Day Weekend.

Each year, approx-imately 500 people drown from recreational boating accidents. According to the U.S. Coast Guard’s latest recreational boating safety statistics, drowning was the reported cause of death in three-fourths of recreational boating fatalities and 84 per-cent of those who drowned were not wearing life jack-ets. Download the full report:

The National Safe Boating Council’s Executive Director Rachel Johnson is available to share about a safe boating, the Wear It! campaign and the U.S. Coast Guard recre-ational boating statistics. The

National Safe Boating Council is a leading national coalition for the advancement and promotion of safer boating through edu-cation, outreach and training.

Youth Baseball Standings, Results

Associated PressIndians 6, Tigers 2CLEVELAND — Trevor Bauer out-

pitched former Cy Young Award winner Justin Verlander and tamed Detroit’s menac-ing lineup, leading the Cleveland Indians to a 6-2 win over the Tigers on Tuesday night.

Bauer (1-1) was recalled earlier in the day for his second start this season and the right-hander held the AL’s top hitting team to just two runs and seven hits in 6-plus innings.

Mike Aviles hit a 2-run double in the second when the Indians scored four runs off Verlander (5-3), who didn’t settle in until the damage was already done.

David Murphy homered in the seventh for the last-place Indians, who can sweep the 3-game series today.

Torii Hunter and Alex Avila homered for Detroit.

The Indians were anxious to see how the head-strong 23-year-old Bauer, with the unorthodox warm-up routine and blazing fastball, would perform against a lineup featuring the likes of Miguel Cabrera, Victor Martinez and Hunter. Bauer has been domi-nating minor-league hitters at Columbus and had never faced any hitters of this caliber.

He was more than up for the challenge.Obviously, it helped that he was staked

to an early 4-run lead and Detroit leadoff hit-ter Ian Kinsler ran his club out of a potentially big inning in the fifth.

Bauer held Hunter, Cabrera and Martinez to a combined 2-for-8 and was helped by two double plays.

In the sixth, Indians manager Terry Francona won an instant-replay challenge of a close play at first. After initially rul-ing Detroit’s Nick Castellanos safe at first, the umpires reviewed the video and over-turned their call, resulting in an inning-ending double play.

When Bauer was lifted for Bryan Shaw after giving up a leadoff single in the sev-enth, he received a standing ovation from the Progressive Field crowd.

Shaw pitched two perfect innings and Cody Allen worked a 1-2-3 ninth.

The Indians grabbed a 5-1 lead in the second when they collected three doubles, two singles and Michael Bourn caught Detroit napping and stole third.

The unexpected outburst began with a base-running blunder as Carlos Santana singled off Cabrera’s glove at first but was thrown out trying to stretch it into a double. Nick Swisher doubled and Yan Gomes walked before Aviles lined his 2-run double into the gap in left-center.

Bourn followed with a double off the wall

in right to score Aviles and Cleveland’s lead-off hitter alertly swiped third without a throw. Asdrubal Cabrera’s RBI single made it 4-1.

Hunter gave the Tigers a 1-0 lead in the first with his sixth homer, a laser-like, 429-foot shot.

Lonnie Chisenhall hit a run-scoring single in Cleveland’s first at-bat to tie it.

Nationals 9, Reds 4WASHINGTON— Denard Span was

at his disruptive best, getting three hits off the major’s top pitcher and forcing a pair of throwing errors Tuesday night to lead the Washington Nationals to a 9-4 win over the Cincinnati Reds.

Span finished 5-for-5 with two runs, two doubles, two RBIs and a stolen base as the Nationals accomplished a first for 2014: They made Johnny Cueto (4-3) look mortal.

The Reds’ ace allowed more than two runs, more than five hits and failed to pitch at least seven innings — all for the first time this season.

The final line for Cueto: 5 1/3 innings, six hits, eight runs (six earned), six strike-outs. He also hit two batters in the same inning — the 7-run sixth when the Nationals blew the game open. His ERA rose from 1.25 to 1.86.

The Reds, the best fielding team in the majors, finished with four errors — twice as

many as in any previous game this season.Doug Fister (1-1), making his home

Nationals’ debut, allowed two runs and six hits over seven innings with good move-ment on his fastball. He had a streak of 12 retired batters in a row and worked out of a jam in the sixth with the help of a diving stop by third baseman Anthony Rendon and a tip-toe stretch by first baseman Tyler Moore that turned Rendon’s throw into the third out.

Above all, Span was the unstoppable agitator and it started to pay off in the Reds’ calamitous third inning.

Fister led off by reaching on an error when first baseman Todd Frazier couldn’t backhand a grounder. Span then tried to bunt his way on and did even better, lay-ing one down that prompted a wide throw from third baseman Ramon Santiago. Fister scored all the way from the first and Span ended up on third and scored on Rendon’s sacrifice fly to give the Nationals a 2-1 lead.

Span, hitting only .239 entering the game, led off the sixth inning with a single, then stole second and went to third when catcher Brayan Pena’s throw went into cen-ter field. Span scored on Jayson Werth’s RBI single and eventually came around to bat again in the inning, bringing home two more runs with a double off reliever Sean Marshall.

In the end, those early-game jitters were a little too much to overcome for the Bulldogs.

Fairview took advantage of four Bulldog errors in the first two innings before holding off a late Columbus Grove rally for a 6-4 win.

The win sends the Apaches (21-2) to the district finals Friday at 5 p.m. against today’s Ottawa-Glandorf/Parkway win-ner. The Bulldogs saw their season end at 15-8.

“We told the girls we could hang with this team,” Columbus Grove coach Travis Gallmeier said. “As the game went on, we started to do the things we came in here wanting to do. I don’t know if it was nerves at the beginning or what but we started to field the ball and play well behind Hope (Schroeder) as the game went on. Overall, I felt like we came in here and gave it a shot.”

Columbus Grove got off to a good start taking a 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning.

Fairview starter Kolleen Boland retired the first two batters she faced before Schroeder dropped a double down the left-field line that fell in behind the Apache leftfielder as she battled the wind to catch the ball. Katie Roose followed with a ground ball to shortstop and when the throw to first base was wild, it allowed Schroeder to

score and Roose to take second base. Another ground ball to shortstop ended the inning.

The Apaches came right back with three runs in the bottom of the inning as Kelsey Beck lined a single to left. Meagan Johns laid down a sacrifice bunt and when the throw to first base eluded the Bulldog fielder, the ball rolled along the fence, allowing Beck to score from first base and Johns to reach second base. Mallory Polter followed with a

single to center that would have had put runners at the corners; the throw back to the infield got away from the Bulldogs, allowing Johns to score and Polter raced all the way to third base. After a popup to the pitcher for the first out, a ground-out by Ali Hug had the Apaches up 3-1.

Fairview added three 2-out runs to their lead in the second inning.

DEAR BRUCE: My hus-band is 76 years old, and I am 73. We currently live in our own home. He thinks it is time to sell and move to a rental apartment closer to our children and to our phy-sicians. I would sell (albeit reluctantly) if we purchased a condominium. I am reluctant to be at the mercy of landlords and neighbors; he wants free-dom from the responsibility of a house and wants to use more of this money to enjoy life.

The area we would move to is more expensive than where we live now. If we rent, we would also lose the tax benefits of the interest on our mortgage of approximately $375,000. Selling the house would net us $200,000, which we could invest.

We are living within our budget, but do not have much left for travel or gifting our children. At our age and in our circumstances, is it better to rent or buy? -- M.F., via email

DEAR M.F.: I can appre-ciate your husband’s desire to be relieved of ownership

responsibilities, and your desire to have some control. But I am on your husband’s side on this. You can likely rent a lot cheaper than it will cost you to own the same type of condominium. The tax benefits are not even a factor, in my opinion.

The one line in your letter that troubles me is “gifting your children.” Why in the world are you worried about “gifting the children”? When you pass away, which in both of your cases should be sev-eral years from now, if there is money left, you can leave it to them. If there is no money left, so what? The idea of giv-ing up a better lifestyle so you can give money to your kids, in my opinion, is insanity.

Couple disagrees on whether to buy or rent

(Continued from page 6)

Katie Robinson opened the inning with a single to left, moved to second base on a sacrifice bunt and took third on a passed ball. After a popup to the pitcher for the second out, Beck followed with a fly ball to right field that Brooke Hoffman started back on, then had to run in on. Hoffman had the ball in her glove before it popped out as she fell to the ground, allowing Robinson to score and Beck reach second base. Johns reached on an error, then stole second base before Polter lined a single to center to score two runs. making it a 6-1 game.

“We didn’t start out defensively the way we wanted with an error to give them a run but hitting-wise, we didn’t let that affect us,” Fairview coach Staci Renollet said. “We were attacking the ball, using our speed and getting some bunts down, things we have been doing all year to get the offense going.”

The third inning was key to the Bulldogs staying in the game as Fairview loaded the bases on singles by Christina Gerbers and Boland around a Grove error that allowed Robinson to reach. Schroeder worked out the jam without allowing a run getting two strikeouts and a fly ball to center to keep it a 6-1 game.

“That was a big point in the game,” Gallmeier said. “We were down 6-1 and they have the bases loaded and the top of their lineup coming up and we get out of it. If they score there, we may start to hang our heads, but we get out of it and it gave us some momentum that carried us through the rest of the game.”

Columbus Grove had a chance to get back into the game in the top of the fourth as they loaded the bases with one out.

Roose opened the inning a single to center before a fly ball to right field for an out. Monica Delgado and Hoffman fol-lowed with singles that loaded the bases. The Bulldogs were unable to score as

Mackenzie Wurth’s groundball to third forced a runner at home plate and a ground ball to shortstop ended the threat.

Both pitchers then settled in as neither team could muster a scoring threat until the top of the seventh when Columbus Grove made a run at the Apaches.

Down to their final three outs, the Bulldogs attempted to pull off another magical comeback as Wurth lined a dou-ble to center field and moved to third on a groundout. Kyrah Yinger followed with a walk before Deanna Kleman hit a ground-er back to the pitcher. Kleman was out at first base but Wurth raced home with the Bulldogs’ second run. Schroeder made it a 6-4 game with a long home run over the left-field fence.

Roose walked and Micah Stechschulte followed with a single before a ground ball to third base ended the game.

“In the seventh, we started hitting the ball well and when you do that, you never know what’s going to happen,” Gallmeier concluded. “Hope hit one that I thought was going to land on the road. We’ve been doing this all year. In our two tourna-ment games before this one, we went nine innings with Bluffton and eight with Allen East. We always said we don’t ever want to quit and when we got out of that (third-inning) jam, we had some momentum; we just couldn’t get a hit. We hit the ball hard but everything was right at them.”

Schroeder took the loss as she allowed six runs on eight hits with three strikeouts and no walks. Schroeder had two hits for the Bulldogs. Six other players all had one hit for Grove.

Boland allowed four runs on seven hits with just one strikeout and four walks. Polter and Robinson both had two hits for Fairview.

Dear Annie: I am having a disagreement with my sister. She gets very upset when she is not invited to a party or other event. She believes she has the right to question the host’s motives for creating the guest list.

My sister claims she is justified in doing this because it would avoid the hurt feelings of someone being left off of the guest list by mistake. When she phones the host to ask questions, she says, “Perhaps you inadvertently left me off of the guest list because you don’t have my correct address.”

She says that when a close friend or relative is not invited to something, the host should contact those people to explain why not.

I say it’s rude to question the host. Sometimes the reason is financial, which would be embarrassing to explain. The people giving the party have no obligation to defend their guest list. I think if someone is not invited but wants to participate, she can send a card with congratulations or something. What do you think? -- Invited/Not Invited

Dear Invited: People are left off of a guest list for any number of reasons, including the fact that they may not want to invite you. It’s ridiculous to expect hosts to phone everyone they know to tell them why they are NOT being invited. By demanding an explanation under the guise of “preventing hurt feelings,” your sister forces the hosts to include her whether they want to or not, which is undoubtedly her intention. Tell her to knock it off.

Anyone who truly believes she may have been left off by mistake can ask a mutual friend or relative to investigate. She also could call and say, “I heard your daughter became engaged, and I just want to offer my best wishes.” Period. If there is an invitation missing, they will let her know. No explanation

is required.Dear Annie:

I would like to comment on those who c o m p l a i n about how the media tell us we’re s u p p o s e d to look: buff, thin, b l e m i s h -free, etc. I understand that these portrayals

can lower one’s self-esteem. But the constant talk about it doesn’t help.

Kids hear that so many people are self-conscious about their bodies, and it affects them. They can’t develop their own opinions about how they should look. I am a 25-year-old woman and have somehow learned to appreciate my body the way it is: average. I see myself as beautiful, no matter what others may think. If people are happy with their looks, no matter what they are, we should leave them alone. This teaches us self-respect. -- Loving My Average Body

Dear Loving: We agree that people are overly focused on their looks, partly because the media promote unattainable “perfection,” and the rest of us can’t help but absorb the message. Overweight or awkward kids are often bullied because of their appearance. Parents should teach their children to make healthy choices, but it is difficult to ignore all of the social messages that surround us. It takes a wise upbringing and a certain strength of character to be convinced that how you look is just fine, which, of course, is the truth. Good for you.

Dear Annie: You gave a great answer to “Spinning the Wheel in Pennsylvania,” whose wife and daughter want to hold back the granddaughter so she will be in the same class as her less academically advanced cousin.

I have several children and grandchildren, and I work for a school district. I have seen firsthand the damage that can be done to a child either by holding them back or pushing them ahead before they are ready. The only one to decide what the children will do is their parents. Aunts, uncles and grandparents should stay out of it. That boy will bloom with age. -- Seen What Happens in California

Heifer International is a non-profit organization whose goal is to help end world hunger and poverty through self-reliance and sustainability. The way the organization goes about this is through donations to “purchase” animals and then they are distributed to countries in need.

It is amazing how they use these animals. They sell their milk, their wool, their eggs. They use them to help farm the land and produce more animals. It is a gift that keeps on giving.

The high school students raised money to buy differ-ent animals. In competition with each other, each grade level came up with creative ways to raise money. A few of the projects included a Car Wash, Bake Sale, Pie in the Face for select-ed staff, Tee Shirt Sales, Parishioner Donations, stu-dent donations and a Slush Sale. All of this money will help make life better for those who are not as fortunate as we are here in Delphos, Ohio. Each grade level who raised over $1,000 received the following prizes:

FRESHMAN: Free root-beer from Mary’s A & W

S O P H O M O R E S : Donuts from Pat’s Donuts and Kreme

JUNIORS: Cookie & Ice Cream at Lunch

Seniors: Open Campus Exam Day

The Freshman class

raised the most money, $3,329.95!

The Liturgy Team would

also like to thank everyone who generously donated to this worthwhile project.

Council asked Jettinghoff to provide information on rate increases at the next meeting, including various scenarios for what hikes were needed to lift the furlough and pay reductions.

Council heard on first read-ing two pieces of legislation related to the recent upswing in the city’s finances. An ordinance to implement the approved .25-percent income tax increase and one permitting Gallmeier and Safety Service Director Shane Coleman to enter into a three-year agree-ment with Lakeview Farms for water and sewer rates.

Council also heard on first reading legislation to add sick leave hours to current city employees’ accumulated sick leave balances.

During police contract negotiations, it was discovered the city’s policy and procedure manual was not in compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, leaving the city to correct six year’s worth of sick leave hours to make up the differ-ence between the 3.08 hours the city had been giving and the 4.6 hours required by law for each completed 80 hours in active pay status. The city had not been in compliance from 2008 through November 2013.

Jettinghoff said the accrued hours totaled approximately $40,000 if cashed out at the 50-percent limit upon retire-ment.

Hours credited ranged from 179-271 per employee.

Transfers of $1,420,000 were approved on first read-ing with a suspension of the

rules. Jettinghoff said the bulk of the transfers was for loan payments due from the Water, Sewer and Income Tax funds. The remaining $20,000 is to shore up the Maintenance Fund from extreme overtime experienced during a particu-larly harsh winter.

Wastewater Plant Superintendent Todd Teman presented council with an update on his plant.

“We have been experienc-ing issues with compromised plates and we are currently looking at other types of mem-brane technology,” Teman said. “We have several viable options, including replacing all the membranes, changing the type of membranes we use and installing alternate treat-ment for storm sewer water so it doesn’t go through the entire membrane system. Big rain events are when we run into trouble.”

Teman and an engineer from Poggemyer Design met with the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency Tuesday to present the options for approv-al.

“We are looking for long-term feasibility and the most cost-effective solution,” Teman said. “I think we need to take our time and do what we need to do and get it right.”

Several residents addressed council with concerns and/or information.

Buzz and Ellen Ditto of The Carpenter’s Ministry shared their upcoming Laborers R On Us Oct. 3 and 4.

“We are asking for volun-teers to help do minor home repairs and chores that are

needed and donations of mate-rials and funds,” Ellen said. “We also need people to share their needs with us.”

Projects can include win-dow/door repairs, painting, minor roof repairs, gutter cleaning, yard cleanup, inside cleaning, listening/visiting, reading, etc.

Those who would like to donate, volunteer or need help should visit Trinity United Methodist Church at 211 E. Third St., Delphos; call the church at 419-692-0651; or call the Dittos at 419-233-3524.

The Dittos hope the activity will eventually grow to cover a week of service to the com-munity and those in need.

“We are also inviting coun-cil to help in any way they can; to come out and work in the community,” Ellen said.

Resident Joe Painter shared his suggestion of putting a traffic signal at the corner of South Franklin and East Pierce streets.

“When vehicles are parked at the church, it’s dif-ficult to see when traveling west on First Street,” Painter said. “When Pierce Street is blocked off for the kids dur-ing school, the traffic has to go down to Franklin Street. It’s hard to see and I’d hate for to have to have an accident where someone is hurt before we do something.”

Gallmeier said he would contact Police Chief Kyle Fittro and get a report on how many accidents have occurred at that intersection.

Council then entered exec-utive session to discuss charg-es against an employee.

Miller and all council members agreed to inspect the air conditioning requirements and either remove the existing unit and install one that can handle the environmental concerns or purchase and install an additional unit.

Councilman Tony Langhals asked Miller if he has heard any news about Dollar General’s plans or spoke with John Schimmoeller of Schimmoeller Construction in Kalida, the property owner where Dollar General may be building a store.

“I have not talked with anyone about the project,” Miller said.

“I think someone should reach out to Dollar General and talk with them and see what the status is. There is so much contro-versy and we need to open the lines of com-munication,” Langhals said.

Langhals then asked each council member if they thought there was a better potential place for the Dollar General store. The major-ity said yes.

Council members Randy Altenburger and Jerry Markward said other locations were dis-cussed and Dollar General’s corporate office looked at other locations.

“That was information through Schimmoeller’s lawyer, though,” Langhals said.

“The building could go on the other side of John’s property, further out of sight,” Markward said.

“I did not want to call them without get-ting council’s thoughts,” Langhals said. “I will represent council and just want to know where things stand and if they are open to other options.”

Council members discussed tree removal and crack filling of the roads with Street Supervisor Barry Koester, who has not had time to work on those projects. They also asked Koester if he received any estimates for the more extensive road work — grinding and re-paving of Fifth, Canal and Walt streets.

“That’s what they are quoting,” Koester said. “I’m waiting on Bluffton to look at the project and give a quote and I have Ward’s quote already.”

Koester said he wanted to get a plan together for next year for whatever road work does not get completed this year.

Council members approved an ordinance for storm sewer taps and the resolution for the renewal of the 1.30-mill tax for current expenses. In addition, members approved the extended warranty contract from Miller Contracting for the Auglaize Street project.

The next village meeting will be held at 7 p.m. on June 23 in the municipal building.

Parade of GM recalls rolls on; 2.4M more vehicles

DETROIT (AP) — Another day, another recall from General Motors.

At least that’s the way it seems as the auto-maker reviews safety issues across its line-up of cars and trucks in the wake of a mishandled recall of millions of older small cars.

The number of recalls issued this year by the nation’s top carmaker rose Tuesday to 29 as GM announced four separate actions affecting 2.4 million cars and trucks. While no fatalities were involved in the latest recalls, the problems were serious enough that GM has temporarily halted sales of the vehicles.

GM has recalled 13.6 million vehicles in the U.S. since early February. That’s more than the total number of cars it sold here in the last five years, and already surpasses GM’s previous U.S. recall record of 10.75 million vehicles, set in 2004. By comparison, rival Ford has recalled 1.2 million vehicles in the U.S. this year, while Toyota has recalled 2.9 million, according to federal data and the companies.

The parade of bad news is part of the fall-out from GM’s recall of 2.6 million Chevrolet Cobalts and other small cars for defective ignition switches — and a consequence of government regulation. GM says it’s redou-bling efforts to resolve outstanding safety issues. It’s hiring 35 new safety investigators and is issuing recalls one by one, as soon

as a decision is made. GM can’t wait and announce a group of recalls once a month; it’s required by federal law to report defects to the government within five days of discover-ing them.

A failure to follow that law landed GM in hot water with the government. The company agreed last week to pay a $35 million federal fine for concealing a deadly defect in the igni-tion switches for more than a decade. GM says at least 13 people have died in crashes linked to the problem, although trial lawyers suing the company say the death toll is at least 53. Congress and the Justice Department have ongoing investigations.

More recalls are likely. GM spokesman Alan Adler said the company is making prog-ress on reviewing older investigations, “but work is continuing.”

The recalls haven’t yet impacted GM’s U.S. sales, which were up 7 percent in April. But Akshay Anand, an industry analyst with Kelley Blue Book, said Tuesday’s order to dealers to stop selling the 2015 Cadillac Escalade and 2014 Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse and GMC Acadia until they’re repaired could give more buyers pause. The initial recalls covered older models like the discontinued Cobalt; now they’re affecting newer models.

US hacking victims fell prey to mundane rusesERIC TUCKERAssociated Press

WASHINGTON — The victims were their own worst enemies.

The hacking techniques the U.S. government says China used against American companies turned out to be disappointingly mundane, tricking employees into opening email attachments or clicking on innocent-looking website links.

The scariest part might be how successfully the ruses worked. With a mouse click or two, employees at big-name American makers of nuclear and solar technology gave away the keys to their computer networks.

In a 31-count indictment announced on Monday the Justice Department said five Chinese military officials oper-ating under hacker aliases such as “Ugly Gorilla,” ”KandyGoo” and “Jack Sun” stole confiden-tial business information, sen-sitive trade secrets and internal communications for competitive advantage. The U.S. identified the alleged victims as Alcoa World Alumina, Westinghouse, Allegheny Technologies, U.S.

Steel, United Steelworkers Union and SolarWorld.

China denied it all on Tuesday.“The Chinese government

and Chinese military as well as relevant personnel have never engaged and never participated in so-called cybertheft of trade secrets,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said in Beijing. “What the United States should do now is withdraw its indictment.”

That’s unlikely. What the Justice Department is doing is spelling out exactly how it says China pulled it off.

The U.S. says the break-ins were more Austin Powers than James Bond. In some cases, the government says, the hack-ers used “spear-phishing” — a well-known scam to trick specif-ic companies or employees into infecting their own computers.

The hackers are said to have created a fake email account under the misspelled name of a then-Alcoa director and fooled an employee into opening an email attachment called “agenda.zip,” billed as the agenda to a 2008 shareholders’ meeting. It exposed the company’s network. At another time, a hacker alleged-

ly emailed company employees with a link to what appeared to be a report about industry observa-tions, but the link instead installed malicious software that created a back door into the company’s network.

“We are so used to solv-ing problems by clicking an email link, looking at the infor-mation and forwarding it on,” said Chris Wysopal, a computer security expert and chief tech-nology officer of the software-security firm Veracode. “And if hackers know about you and your company, they can cre-ate really realistic-looking mes-sages.”

And use of the rudimentary efforts the Justice Department described doesn’t mean for-eign governments and others won’t use more sophisticated and harder-to-detect techniques, said Joshua Corman, the chief technology officer for Sonatype, which helps businesses make their software development secure. Determined hackers escalate their attacks when nec-essary, he said, but in the cases cited in the federal indictment announced Monday, they didn’t have to escalate very far.


Students of the month awarded their pins by Superintendent Don Diglia were: Elementary – John Foust, Zain Hile and Carson Van Gorder; Elida Middle School – Shelby Crider, Trinity Gurley and Makenna Johnson and Jada Simpson; and as the class of 2014, Valedictorian Anthony J. Siefker and Salutatorian Erika Keil.

Diglia and the following staff, who are retiring, were also presented with a plaque for their service to the Elida school system. Retirees were Kevin Bowers, Nancy Carter, Jill Coffey, Becky Foust, Linda Hansen, Merle Hentze, David Morman, Jacqueline O’Connor, Theresa Price, Martha Sackett, Richard Sherrick, Judy Siefer, Deb Stover, Janna Thompson, Sue Tomlinson and Ron Varland.

Board member Jeff Christoff gave a report on the Blizzard Bag surveys given to the par-ents. The number of respondents was 1,294; most of the surveys came from the elementary and not much from the high school. When asked if they would like to see the Blizzard Bag assignments to be used in the future, 447 said yes.

The school librarian Lori Grojean will kick off a pilot program and open the school library in the month of June on Tuesdays from 8:30 to 12. The students and adults can use the library at that time.

“Mrs. Grojean is very innovative and does a lot for our district, she goes the extra mile,”

said Diglia.Items that were approved by the board are

as follows:• Resignation of Ron Varland, high school

English teacher and high school yearbook advisor;

• Termination of employment for poor per-formance of one bus driver;

• Employment of Assistant Middle School Principal Nicholas Morris;

• Hiring 9 new teachers and 22 supplemen-tal contracts;

• Graduates for 2014, contingent on each senior satisfactorily completing all of his/her minimum standard requirements for graduation;

• Continuing membership in the Ohio High School Athletic Association:

• Online health classes• Summer physical education at the high

school;• Agreement with the West Central Ohio

assistive technology center consortium;• Purchase of Anywhere learning sys-

tem software for total purchase price of $47,520;

• Lunch prices for 2014-15 school years will increase grades K-4 to $1.25; grades 5-8, $2.60; and grades 9-12, $2.75; and

• A request from Jeff Amspoker to take the Elida High School students to Costa Rica on June 8-16, 2015. The purpose of this trip is to provide Spanish students with an authentic educational opportunity through travel to the target culture.
