Honigford wants citys Scouts, family swim free Sunday timeline for budget cuts
Upfront

By NANCY SPENCER Herald Editor nspencer@delphosherald.com DELPHOS City council was held to task again Monday evening when Tim Honigford returned to the microphone with more budgetary questions during the meeting. I would like to know the time frame of these cuts youve been talking about, Honigford said. Safety Service Director Greg Berquist asked to address the question. There will absolutely be cuts in 2014 and we have a tentative plan to institute some cuts this year, Berquist said. We have cut our budget for the last five years. We have been prolonging laying people off by using attrition to trim departments. We are down one in maintenance, two police officers and one position at the wastewater treatment plant. Those jobs have not been filled. Honigford continued: Its been several weeks. What cuts are you leaning toward? Honigford asked. If you dont make cuts before the citizens have to vote on this tax, its going down by 80 percent. We need to see some cost-savings and more efficiency. Many of us have had

to tighten our belts again and again. If the tax goes down, it will be because you didnt help yourself. Weve got to see some changes. Its all status quo. Honigford also questioned the city taking a 20-year loan for the Gressel Drive Water Loop Project: Were already looking at tens of millions of dollars of debt and were still taking out loans. I think it was reported it was a 2.3-percent 20-year loan. Were borrowing $60,000 for 20 years. Thats ridiculous. How do you feel about this mayor? Before Mayor Michael Gallmeier could respond, Berquist fielded the question. That project was initiated as a result of a fire at Green Fiber on Gressel Drive, he said. We almost didnt control that fire because of poor water pressure. We avoided what could have been a disastrous fire had it not been for mutual aid. Honigford reworded his question. How about loans in general? We are facing fiscal emergency. Why is it business as usual? he asked. Gallmeier did respond this time. How do you fix things without loans? he asked Honigford. We have to fix things when they need fixed. See COUNCIL, page 10

(Delphos Herald/Nancy Spencer)
SPENCERVILLE Village council held its regularly-scheduled monthly meeting in chambers Monday night to discuss an array of topics, including numerous water main breaks, applications to the Ohio Public Works Commission (OPWC) for improvements and discussion stepping up traffic enforcement. Village Administrator Shawn Chapman said that there have been 32 water main breaks in the village this year. All repairs are being done inhouse. The most recent eruptions have been at Main and Sixth streets and College and Elizabeth. Main and Sixth needed a T (fitting) and a valve and was repaired last Friday, Chapman detailed. I had three calls on the one at College and Elizabeth. Water was running down roads.
Chapman said the repair could not be done because of the two utility poles with three transformers attached at the same location. AEP had to stabilize the poles before digging could proceed. Village council passed a resolution authorizing Mayor P.J. Johnson to prepare and submit an application for OPWC capital and/or transportation improvements and execute contracts on its first reading. Passing the resolution expedites the process of getting all needed paperwork together for street resurfacing projects needing to be completed. OPWC, in conjunction with each of the 19 District Public Works Integrating Committees, awards a minimum of 20 percent of the districts annual allocation of State Capital Improvements Program (SCIP) funds to loans and loan assistance/credit enhancement to finance eligible infrastructure needs.

STATE/LOCAL First honorees of Allen County Agriculture Hall of Fame selected

Information submitted LIMA The Lima Allen County Chamber of Commerce will induct Calvin Leimbach and J. Edgar Begg into the Allen County Agricultural Hall of Fame during Fridays monthly Wake Rattle and Roll breakfast program at the Allen County Fairgrounds. These two inductees are the very first to receive this distinction and according to the Chambers agri-business committee chair Beth Seibert, The decision was obvious. Our goal with the Hall of Fame is to annually recognize local agriculturalists that have been instrumental to the success and excellence of agriculture in Allen County, either as a farmer or in an agriculturally related field. Both of our charter inductees truly reflect the awards purpose of honoring and giving public recognition to those who have brought distinction to themselves, have made outstanding contributions to their professions and whose community involvement has served as a stimulus to others. Leimbachs service to Allen County agriculture is largely defined by his 31 years of service (1951-1982) as the OSU Extension Ag Agent. Beyond that, his community service record is quite extensive and remarkable. Those that have worked with him the closest found his dedication to building relationships and cooperative efforts fundamental to his success. Born and raised in Erie County, Leimbach not only made a career in Allen County, but he made it his home. Despite some health limitaLeimbach tions, he and his wife Doris are expected to be present for the award ceremony Friday morning. Leimbachs nomination came from the Chambers Ag Committee. Begg was nominated by the Allen Soil and Water Conservation District as its first Board chair, critical to the formation of the local District and bringing the resources of the USDA Soil Conservation Service to Allen County in 1945. His nomination was cosponsored by his grandson, Jay Begg. As a lifetime Monroe Township farmer, Edgar is

State Reps. Ron Gerberry, of Austintown, and Nick Celebrezze, of Parma, said the bill was intended to protect officeholders from undue influence or the appearance of improper business ties. The officeholders would still be allowed to collect their state salaries and any pension and retirement payments.

Begg is being honored posthumously (19062003), but family members will be accepting the award during the Begg presentation.

There is no fair gate fee to attend this event.
Democrats push ban on governors outside pay

This, if anything, protects the government, Celebrezze said. It protects our officeholders and it protects elected officials, but most of all it protects our constituents. The legislation comes amid concerns over job-creation tax credits that Republican Gov.

Gerberry said the bills sponsors would like to see such payments held in a blind

COLUMBUS (AP) Ohios former treasurer reacted Tuesday to the indictment of his top deputy in an alleged bribery scheme, shortly after the state Republican Party blasted the Democrat for being silent on the case. Kevin Boyce lost his bid to keep the treasurers office in a contentious race against Republican Josh Mandel in 2010. Boyce, of Columbus, currently serves in the Ohio House of Representatives. A federal grand jury last week indicted Amer Ahmad, who had served as Boyces deputy treasurer, and Mohammed Noure Alo, a Columbus attorney and bank lobbyist, on conspiracy and wire fraud charges. Ahmad also was charged with money laundering, conspiracy to launder money, bribery and making false statements.
Ex-Ohio treasurer stunned by deputys indictment
COLUMBUS (AP) Ohio officials are highlighting a new state law requiring schools to train teachers and staff on youth suicide prevention. The bill from state Rep. Marlene Anielski took effect in March. But she appeared at a Tuesday news conference with former Ohio State president Gordon Gee and Attorney General Mike DeWine to draw attention to the law. This fall marks the first school year that teachers, nurses, counselors and others are required to get the training. It counts toward professional development training, along with topics such as dating violence prevention. The Jason Foundation is providing free training materials to Ohio schools. The Hendersonville, Tenn.-based organization says about 600 Ohio educators have completed its training. State lawmakers also recently passed a law designating Sept. 10 as Ohio Suicide Prevention Day.

Horses on the run

BY LOVINA EICHER This week my husband Joe and the boys have been busy in the evenings trimming the fence rows. We have the posts, gates and fence wire here to fence in the hayfield. The horses and ponies will be glad to be back on pasture again. We put our pasture field into beans this year. Eventually we will want to put it back into a hayfield. We were going to put corn in that field but the farmer has seed corn across the road. Field corn has to be a certain distance away from seed corn. The farmer offered to trade us corn for beans. We had quite a rude awakening around 2:30 a.m. one morning. A guy knocked at our door telling us our horses and ponies were out on the road. Everyone got dressed and grabbed flashlights. The men in the truck helped by driving down the road to shine their headlights for us. We had them all headed for the barn when the leader of the pack, Stormy, the pony, decided we needed more exercise. He headed past the house and of course, the horses followed. We were able to head off the rest of the ponies and got them in the barn. It did look funny seeing little Prancer (the miniature colt) coming down the road with all the big horses. The horses went around our neighbor Joes house and Elizabeth ran that way to head them back. When they headed back, they ran across the road and around neighbor Irenes barn and into the bean field across the road. We finally had every way blocked off and Elizabeth headed them towards the barn again. That time was successful. It was past 3 a.m. and Joe was glad he had the next day off. Someone forgot to shut a gate which was a good lesson for us to check all gates before going to bed. Elizabeth tripped and fell while running after the horses. She has badly bruised and scratched knees and hands. Two mornings after that the horses popped the hinges on the gate and were happily eating in the hayfield. Its like they are telling us to hurry with that fence so they can eat the fresh grass. This time it was daylight and we were able to round them up and head them right through the gates by the hayfield. And of course we tried to bribe Stormy with a scoop of feed so he wouldnt be a troublemaker again. Our neighbors have been

LACCA offers help beating the heat

Information submitted Residents of Allen County can apply for help to pay their summer energy bills. Lima Allen Council on Community Affairs (LACCA), the local community-action agency that helps keep residents cool during hot summer months, is reaching out to the vulnerable populations seniors and those with medical conditions. LACCA is expecting an increase in the number of customers seeking assistance, Centralized Intake Director for LACCA Marva Cowan said. We have had a tremendous number of phone calls about these funds during the off season. LACCA has been waiting to see how many grant funds we would receive to provide utility assistance. Last summer, LACCA distributed $81,315.43 allocated from the Ohio Department of Development to approximately 570 households during the twomonth program. That was an average benefit of $142.66 to eligible customers. With $102,000 allocated this year, Cowan is hoping more people find themselves needing the assistance and they will be able to reach more of those in need. This years allocation is closer to what LACCA typically receives for summer cooling programs. We were really excited that we got the allocation; that was great news, Cowan said. We were worried about it.

Walk-ins are welcome daily after 7:30 a.m. The program is designed to help lowincome households with senior citizens and households with someone who has a medical need and must maintain their electricity.

Roughriders wear down Jays in soccer

By JIM METCALFE Staff Writer jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com ST. MARYS St. Marys Memorials girls soccer team had already played a match by the time they hosted St. Johns in the Blue Jays season-opener Monday evening at Roughrider Field at West Elementary School. The host Lady Roughriders were without a pair of senior starters but the Jays matched that and more: they were down five starters due either to injuries or the Allen County Band Show. All in all, a 3-0 loss to the perennial-power Riders was not a bad result for St. Johns head coach John Munoz. They are a tough opener and for us to stay with them as we did with only 13 players showed the toughness of these girls. They battled the whole night, even when they were dead tired, Munoz noted. They made up their minds they were going to play hard the entire time. St. Marys is always a good gauge of where we stand to start the year and what we need to work on. The hosts (1-1-0) controlled the orb much of the night but the Blue Jay defense did a nice job of forcing their shots from outside the 18-yard box, with junior goalkeeper Samantha Wehri registering 18 saves against 21 shots on-goal. St. Marys best try earlier in the first half came at 25:34 when Wehri was down on a flurry in front of her net but

Ottoville blanks Van Wert 3-0

By Charlie Warnimont DHI Correspondent news@delphosherald.com OTTOVILLE Ottoville had their game plan set as they prepared to face Van Wert in their second game of the season Monday evening at the Ottoville Soccer Complex. A change by the Cougars defensively prevented the Big Green from being able to accomplish what they set out to do. But with time to adjust at halftime, the Big Green were able to get a few more runs on the Van Wert goal and added a pair of insurance goals as Ottoville topped the Cougars 3-0 in boys soccer action. The win moved the Big Green to 2-0 on the young season, while this was Van Werts season opener. Ottoville wanted to put as much pressure on the Van Wert goal as possible early in the match. However, the Cougars adjusted their defense in an effort to slow down the Big Green offense. Their switch in defenses slowed Ottovilles offense attack before they were able to make adjustments at halftime to get more looks at the Cougar goal. They did some things in the first half to disrupt the things we wanted to do, Ottoville coach Eric Gerker said. We were able to get an early goal, which helped us relax, but they were doing some things at the end of the first half that had me concerned. They were dropping their forwards back and overloading the midfield and we had a real hard time possessing the ball. At halftime we went talked about swinging the ball and changing fields and once we started to do that we were able to put more pressure on the ball. Ottoville had a chance in the first minute to grab the lead as Jared Fanning took a long pass, got behind the Van Wert defense and had a one-on-one opportunity on the Van Wert keeper. Van Werts keeper came out and denied Fanning a shot attempt taking the ball off his foot. Although the Big Green only had three shots on goal the first half, they were able to knock one home with 24:48 left in the first half. Senior Lucas Maag gave Ottoville a 1-0 lead when he knocked home a shot. Van Wert took just one shot in the first half that was grabbed by Big Green goalie Colin Bendele. After making adjustments at halftime, the Big Green still found it hard to get shots off early in the second half. Van Wert actually had the first shot of the second half that was saved by Bendele. Ottoville was able to get a shot off on goal a short time later that the Van Wert goalie grabbed. With 27:22 left to play, Maag made it a 2-0 game when he took a pass from across the field. Dribbling up the right side of the box, Maag fired a shot across the mouth of the goal that slipped inside the left front post making it a 2-0 game. The Big Greens final goal came with 55 seconds left when sophomore Drew Williams knocked home a loose ball in front of the Van Wert net.
sophomore Ashlyn Troyer kicked the ball out of danger. However, the Roughriders drew first blood at 16:39 when senior Kelsey Rohrbach launched a looper from the top of the semi-circle that just eluded the fingertips of Wehri and hit the back of the net for a 1-0 edge. The Jays first real chance at the goal came at 10:46 when senior forward Madison Kreeger fired a 22-yarder from the right side that nearly escaped the clutches of Roughrider sophomore keeper Hailee Andreoni (3 saves vs. 3 shots on-goal).

With the Roughriders using their superior bench more in the second half, they could be more aggressive. We were more confident today because we felt we could be. We struggled in our opener against a very good Marysville team one of the best weve ever seen and we worked on ball possession and such as that since, veteran Roughrider coach Paul Dingledine explained. The first half, we forced too many shots from way out and though we had one get through, generally those are stopped. The second half, we went to our bench more.
They made it 2-0 at 36:45 off a corner kick. Rohrbach launched the ball from the right side and found freshman Jenna Norton open on the left post; her 10-yarder went inside that post. At 34:10, Wehri kicked away the 13-yarder by senior Samantha Wilson. Kreeger let fly with a 22-yarder at 32:52 but Andreoni secured the stop. Memorial nearly made it 3-0 at 27:58 off a corner kick but senior Kristen Dammeyers 8-yarder hit the right post and the hosts couldnt get a follow shot. Kreeger had the Jays last real scoring chance at 17:07 but her 25-yarder was denied by backup keeper Bailey FenwickMiller. Finally, the Roughriders added their final score at 12:28. Junior Skylar Liming, off a midfield kick by Wilson, got control of the ball inside the box on the right wing, stopped and popped an 18-yarder over the top. We had some first-game jitters; we have a lot of girls who had never played varsity soccer before, so thats expected even more, Munoz added. We got better the second half as we settled down. Our ball possession was better, we were more organized and we just simply played better. I am so proud of these girls for this effort today. Well sit down (today) and see what we can do for Wapakoneta. The Jays host the redskins Thursday, with a scheduled time of 7 p.m. Memorial plays LibertyBenton the same night.

Lady Wildcats win wild soccer opener

By JIM METCALFE Staff Writer jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com VAN WERT The Jeffersons girls soccer team showed how much their skills have improved in a year as they opened the 2013 campaign with a wild 6-5 victory on a brilliant Monday night at Van Wert High School. We had a good start to the season; we got the win. Our strikers did well but we got good play from our midfield offensively, Jefferson coach Josiah Stober said. We beat a very good goalkeeper. Defensively, we have some girls to replace, so our youngsters back there are learning. Van Wert is a good opener for us because its a good measure of where we are as a team and where we need to go. We have a lot of positives from this game but, as usual, some things we need to address. We have two days of work before our next match. For first-year Van Wert coach Larry Lamb, its also a learning experience. We had some great opportunities but we rushed them too much. We had the first-game jitters in those situations and missed chances, Lamb added. Defensively, we had too many breakdowns but I take the blame for that. I switched up our defense but it didnt work. We did get better the second half but we fell behind too much. Fortunately, we wont have any time to dwell on this. The Lady Wildcats took a 1-0 lead at 36:21 off a corner kick sequence. Junior Kylee Haehn launched one from the left side and found junior Adrie Miller on the right post; she kneed the ball past Van Wert senior keeper Rachel Gordon (15 saves versus 23 shots on-goal) at 36:21. The Lady Cougars tied it at 34:36 when senior Lauren Mathew passed inside form the right sideline to junior Emily Bair for a 15-yarder from the wing that found the left side past Jefferson junior netminder Kayleigh OConner (13 saves vs. 19 shots on-goal). The Red and White took the lead for good at 2-1 with 23:41 showing in the first half. Haehn threaded a lead pass from the left side to junior Logan Hamilton for a run down the middle; she veered toward the right and when the keeper came out to cut off the angle, she nailed a 16-yarder that found the left side of the twine. The Lady Cats made it 3-1 at 18:06 after a flurry in front of the net when Hamilton was again the recipient of an assist, this time by junior Bailey Miller, from left to right, where Hamilton found the mark just inside the post from eight yards. A little less than a minute later (17:08), Hamilton completed her hat trick. Haehn again fed a beautiful lead pass from near midfield on the left side to the wide-open Hamilton on the right post and her 12-yarder went opposite side. The Cougars retaliated at 16:41 off a handball called on the Wildcats 35 yards out. Senior Hannah Hulbert drilled a looping shot from the right side that handcuffed OConner and found the twine for a 4-2 scoreboard. The goalkeepers held their foes off the board the rest of the half. Both teams had chances but hit the crossbar: Hulbert at 11:40 when her 20-yarder from the left side hit the bar and Jefferson freshman Arianna Knebel did the same on her 12-yarder. The Lady Cougars got within 4-2 early in the second half at 38:23 when Bair went inside to Hulbert on the right side and the senior Cougar went to the left side from 15 yards. Jefferson made it 5-3 at 36:21 when junior Elisabeth Miller connected with Haehn on the left post and her 13-yarder hit off the right post and into the net. A Cougar handball in the box at 18:30 gave Haehn a penalty kick and she went low and hard for a 6-3 edge. The hosts fought back and got within 6-4 at 13:42. Bair threaded a lead pass from the middle to Hulbert for a wideopen look from the left wing and her 14-yarder went to the right side of the cords. The Cougars made it 6-5 at the 5-minute mark. Hulbert took a free kick from 40 yards out on the left side and OConner deflected the laser but it went right to the wide-open Bair and her 10-yarder went left to right to find the net.

We executed the ball on the second goal, Gerker said. We worked the ball outside-in, inside-out from our outside mids to hit our forwards on the cuts we wanted through the middle of the field. We were able to have Alex (Horstman) penetrate down the middle and find Lucas making a good cut to the backside for the finish. Its work in progress as we have a real young team this season. We need our seniors to step up and they did tonight scoring two of three goals. While Ottoville may have found offense hard to come by, their defense did another fine job as they posted their second shutout of the game. Van Wert had three shots in the game as Bendele had three saves. Our defense is really playing well right now, Gerker said. We spent a lot of time in the pre-season and scrimmages working on marking assignments and Colin (Bendele) is doing a good job back there calling out what he sees and communicating with the defense. Our defense is communicating really well right now. Offensively we are going to struggle all year until someone really develops and starts taking it upon themselves to really push, Van Wert coach George Scott said. Overall I was happy with the performance. Its one of the best opening season performances we have had. A 3-0 score doesnt really show it, but we passed the ball well, we possessed the ball, we saw it on defense. We you see how many new people we have, we played really well.

Netflix of video games: Twitch coming to PS4
Workers saw a modest rise in the average cost of employer-sponsored health insurance this year, but theyre probably not overwhelmed with relief. Coverage costs still are climbing faster than wages. That means, in many cases, that a bigger portion of the average paycheck is sliced off for insurance instead of being deposited into employee bank accounts. Annual premiums for employer-sponsored family coverage climbed nearly 4 percent this year to top $16,000 for the first time, according to a survey by the Kaiser Family Foundation released Tuesday. The cost of single coverage rose almost 5 percent. Those are smaller increases than the spikes of 9 percent for family coverage and 8 percent for single recorded in 2011. But this years increases lap the average 1.8-percent rise in worker wages. Plus, more companies are giving their employees coverage with a high deductible. Those plans require a patient to pay more out of pocket for things like blood tests or MRIs before coverage starts. Coupled with the growing cost of coverage, that means many employees are likely paying more for insurance that covers less.
Judge approves Kodak plan to exit bankruptcy
NEW YORK (AP) Kodak doesnt look a whole lot like it did when it filed for bankruptcy protection last year, but its executives and investors are hoping for a picture-perfect future. Many of its products and services are gone, including the camera-making business that made it famous more than a century ago. Also gone are scores of workers, manufacturing facilities, supply contracts and millions of dollars in investments. On Tuesday, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Allan Gropper approved the companys plan to emerge from court oversight, paving the way for it to recreate itself as a new, much smaller company focused on commercial and packaging printing. Kodak said it hopes to emerge from bankruptcy protection as early as Sept. 3. They still have people with immense skill and who know how to win, said Mark Zupan, dean of the business school at the University of Rochester, near Kodaks headquarters. But its also a team that has gone through hell for the last 10 to 20 years. It has been like constant water torture. Founded by George Eastman in 1880, Eastman Kodak Co. is credited with popularizing photography at the start of the 20th century and was known all over the world for its Brownie and Instamatic cameras and its yellow-and-red film boxes. It was first brought down by Japanese competition and then an inability to keep pace with the shift from film to digital technology. Up until around 2005, Kodak was one of the most recognizable brands in the world, and thats now gone, said Robert Burley, a photography professor at Ryerson University in Toronto. Its only real brand recognition these days is as a failed company that was unable to make the transition from the 20th century to the 21st century. To some degree, they have become a poster child for a company that could not keep up with technology. Kodak filed for bankruptcy protection last year after struggling with increasing competition, continuing growth in digital photography and growing debt. Since its filing, Kodak has sold off many of its businesses and patents, while shutting down the camera manufacturing unit that first made it famous. Kodak is a different company than the one in the popular imagination and very different from the one that filed for bankruptcy, Kodak attorney Andrew Dietderich told the court at the start of Tuesdays hearing. In making his ruling, Gropper noted that his approval of the plan will result in the loss of retirement and health care benefits for many former workers, while many of the companys investors will recoup just pennies on the dollar. So at a time of admitted tragedy, let us take a moment to dwell on the future and hope that Kodak will be successful, Gropper said. Kodak Chairman and CEO Antonio Perez said that with the ruling, the company is now poised to become a leader in the commercial imaging industry, providing professional services such as commercial printing, packaging and film for motion pictures. Zupan said the company also has been developing an alternative for a key composite used in the production of touch-screen display screens.
DEAR BRUCE: Which is a better way to start investing for Bruce Williams my children, opening a Roth IRA or purchasing stock? My husband and I would like to provide for their future and not have them struggle like we did. I have heard so many good things about a Roth IRA that I think that would get a better return. -- P.R., Iowa DEAR P.R.: One thing you should understand is that you can open a Roth IRA only with money earned by the individual whose account it is in that tax year. If the children you are thinking about investing for are working, you might be able to work that out. There are many other good ways to invest. In my opinion, one would be in the market, in a conservative dividend stock that was purchased on a regular basis, perhaps every quarter. If you feel that you cant make these selections yourself -- and thats no crime -- enlist the services of a broker and explain what you are trying to do. You will be establishing a long-term account, and you should be prepared to take a modest amount of risk. Without taking some risk, you are confining yourself to almost no return, and I think thats foolish. DEAR BRUCE: Back in 2006, I had a slip-and-fall accident at work. I went to a clinic to have it checked out the next day and after the diagnosis of a sprained ankle, I was given pain meds and a set of crutches and sent on my way. I returned to work the next day and gave the secretary the bills from the clinic. She told me that everything would be covered by the company, as it was work-related. In ignorant bliss, I simply assumed that all would be taken care of, as the secretary indicated. Every time I received a new request for payment from the clinic, I simply forwarded it to my workplace. Recently, I procured a credit report and I saw that there was a judgment against me for the total of $2,000, granted to the clinic a few months after my visit. I contacted the clinic, asked if there was anything I could do and was told the debt was owned by a collections company and gave me the information. I have been told by more than one person that to contact the collection agency this long after the fact would actually harm my credit as there would be an updated event regarding this situation. If I leave it alone, after so many years go by, the issue will drop from my credit history. Bruce, could you please give me the real scoop? I do not know what to believe. -- S.S., via email DEAR S.S.: Ignoring it will not make it go away. The clinic has sold the bill to another agency, and it is now the company you have to deal with. Tell the agency that the money should have been paid by workers comp as this is a comp-covered action, and that you notified your company in a timely fashion, so you expect them to make a claim against workers comp. If that doesnt get you anywhere, you might wish to go to the workers comp company and explain the problem. Make it clear that under no circumstances are you going to pay for this because this was a work-related injury that should have been paid for by workers compensation. DEAR BRUCE: About 10 years ago, my daughter took a loan out on a house for $32,000. Since this time she has fallen ill and I have been helping her with her finances. I was shocked to see that her balance is still $32,000. Im assuming that this is some kind of revolving account, but I am unclear as to how it will ever be paid off. What do you suggest? -- Reader, via email DEAR READER: If you are interested in getting the whole thing resolved, the first thing you should do is get her authorization in writing so you can make inquiries regarding the account. Find out exactly what type of account it is. Perhaps its an interestonly account, but until this information is available, I cant make an intelligent comment. Thats the first move.

20-year-old charged in Ga. school shooting 3 teens charged in death

KATE BRUMBACK Associated Press DECATUR, Ga. A man with an assault rifle and other weapons exchanged gunfire with officers Tuesday at an Atlanta-area elementary school before surrendering, a police chief said, with dramatic overhead television footage capturing the young students racing out of the building, being escorted by teachers and police to safety. No one was injured. Just a week into the new school year, more than 800 students in pre-kindergarten to fifth grade were evacuated from Ronald E. McNair Discovery Learning Academy in Decatur, a few miles east of Atlanta. They sat outside along a fence in a field for a time until school buses came to take them to their waiting parents and other relatives at a nearby Wal-Mart. When the first bus arrived about three hours after the shooting, cheers erupted in the store parking lot from relieved relatives, several of them sobbing. The suspect, identified later as 20-yearold Michael Brandon Hill, fired at least a half-dozen shots from the rifle from inside McNair at officers who were swarming the campus outside, the chief said. Officers returned fire when the man was alone and they had a clear shot, DeKalb County Police Chief Cedric L. Alexander said at a news conference. Hill surrendered shortly after and several weapons were found, though it wasnt clear how many, Alexander said. Police had no motive. Though the school has a system where visitors must be buzzed in by staff, the gunman may have slipped inside behind someone authorized to be there, Alexander said. The suspect, who had no clear ties to the school, never got past the front office, where he held one or two employees captive for a time, the chief said. Hill, who had address listed about three miles from the school, is charged with aggravated assault on a police officer, terroristic threats and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. There was no information on a possible court date. A woman in the office called WSBTV to say the gunman asked her to contact the Atlanta station and police. WSB said during the call, shots were heard in the background. Assignment editor Lacey Lecroy said she spoke with the woman who said she was alone with the man and his gun was visible. It didnt take long to know that this woman was serious, Lecroy said. Shots were one of the last things I heard. I was so worried for her. School clerk Antoinette Tuff in an interview on ABCs World News with Diane Sawyer said she worked to convince the gunman to put down his weapons and ammunition. He told me he was sorry for what he was doing. He was willing to die, Tuff told ABC. She told him her life story, about how her marriage fell apart after 33 years and the roller coaster of opening her own business. I told him, OK, we all have situations in our lives, she said. It was going to be OK. If I could recover, he could, too. Then Tuff said she asked the suspect to put his weapons down, empty his pockets and backpack on the floor. I told the police he was giving himself up. I just talked him through it, she said. A woman answering the phone at a number listed for Hill in court records said she was his mother but said it wasnt a good time and rushed off the phone. DeKalb County Schools Superintendent Michael Thurmond praised faculty and authorities who got the young students to safety, staying calm and following plans in place. All teachers and students made it out of the school unharmed. Its a blessed day, all of our children are safe, Thurmond said at the news conference. This was a highly professional response on the ground by DeKalb County employees assisted by law enforcement.
of Australian player
DUNCAN, Okla. (AP) With a motive thats both chilling and simple to break up the boredom of an Oklahoma summer three teenagers randomly targeted an Australian collegiate baseball player who was attending school in the U.S. and killed him for fun, prosecutors said Tuesday as they charged two of the boys with murder. Prosecutor Jason Hicks called the boys thugs as he described how Christopher Lane, 22, of Melbourne, was shot once in the back and died along a treelined road on Duncans well-todo north side. He said the three teens, from the grittier part of town, chose Lane at random and that one of the boys thinks its all a joke. Hicks charged Chancey Allen Luna, 16, and James Francis Edwards, Jr., 15, of Duncan, with first-degree murder. Under Oklahoma law they will be tried as adults. Michael Dewayne Jones, 17, of Duncan, was charged with using a vehicle in the discharge of a weapon and with accessory to first-degree (Continued from page 1)
Egypts Brotherhood as beleaguered as its leader

MAGGIE MICHAEL Associated Press
Council
(Continued from page 1)
CAIRO The Muslim Brotherhoods top leader looked somber and fatigued after his arrest Tuesday, his demeanor mirroring the Islamist movements predicament following its stunning fall from power and a deadly government crackdown. The Brotherhoods decision to play hardball after the militarys ouster of Egypts Islamist president has backfired, leaving it embroiled in a crisis and looking at unattractive choices: Aligning with hard-line groups in an insurgency that almost certainly will fail or going underground in the hope of resurfacing one day. Regardless of which path it chooses, the Brotherhoods grim future will impact Islamic groups across the Middle East and beyond. The Egyptian organization is something of a mother ship that has inspired their creation and provided a role model of the political Islam they want to prevail.
Honigford had some closing remarks: You guys keep saying a string of bad events led us here. In reality, five of you still here were involved in the process when a company held us hostage with jobs on the line and fear went through the town we understand that. But Kasichs plan was there from the get-go. You knew we were going to lose the Local Government Funds. This is a trend; not an event. What you have done is set this city up for a financial catastrophe by doing nothing. Former Mayor and Councilman John Sheeter also requested time with council. I know you guys are just like me, Sheeter began. You like this city and want to work for the City of Delphos. Have you guys ever studied economic development? Have you gone to school for it? You need to be salesmen for the community. I took a course when I was on council; I had to learn what it was. We have to find a way to save or make money. After council passed on third
reading an ordinance approving a lighting project at the Wastewater Treatment Plant. Superior Energy Solutions won the bid at $44,172 to replace old and outdated lighting at the plant with T-5 and T-8 bulbs and adjust how and when lighting comes on. Funds for the project will come from a recent $66,000 AEP grant the city received from another energy-savings project. Councilman Kevin Osting requested information on how to strike any but necessary overtime from all departments and information on what other savings council does have control over through legislation. The Finance Committee will meet at 7 p.m. Monday in council chambers. Finance Committee Chair Joe Martz requested all department heads attend and Berquist said he would have enough spreadsheets ready for the committee to review. Safety Services Committee Chair Josh Gillespie also called a meeting for 6:30 p.m. Sept. 9 prior to the first September council meeting, changed from the first Monday due to the Labor Day holiday.

murder after the fact. He is considered a youthful offender but will be tried in adult court. Jones wept in the courtroom after he tried to speak about the incident but was cut off by the judge who said it wasnt the time to sort out the facts of the case. Jones faces anywhere from two years to life in prison if convicted on the counts he faces. The two younger teens face life in prison without parole if convicted on the murder charge. Im appalled, Hicks said after the hearing. This is not supposed to happen in this community. In court, Hicks said Luna was sitting in the back seat of a car when he pulled the trigger on a .22 caliber revolver and shot Lane once in the back. Hicks said Jones was driving the vehicle and Edwards was in the passenger seat. Edwards has had prior runins with the law and came to court Friday apparently after the shooting to sign documents related to his juvenile probation.

Peripheral Vascular Intervention
Peripheral arterial disease is generally associated with blockages of the large arteries of the legs, usually the result of a chronic buildup of hard fatty material, resulting in atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries). The blockage restricts the flow of blood which carries oxygen and nutrients to the limb. The femoral and popliteal arteries are the major arterial blood supply to the lower extremities and a common location for atherosclerotic disease. A femoral popliteal bypass operation creates a detour around this blocked portion of the artery. The surgeon removes a blood vessel, usually from the legs. The vein graft is attached above and below the blockage, rerouting blood through the graft to reach leg muscles. In some situations, a prosthetic graft (made of artificial material) may be used for the bypass, rather than a vein graft. Femoral bypass surgery is increasingly performed as minimally invasive surgery.
The IFM Barnes pump has been successful, Smith stated. He recommended going with a pump that has been tested and successful in the field. After taking into consideration all the pros and cons of the installation IFM has the equipment (crane) to install the pump and varying specifications of the pumps, the identical warranty and the difficulty Wrasman had with communicating with the Gorman-Rupp representative, council unanimously agreed to purchase the pump from IFM at the cost of $7625. Smith asked Wrasman to go ahead and get the pump ordered. In addition, Wrasman detailed the problems with the failed Gorman-Rupp pump. It took in water and may have affected the gear box and the seals are ruined, Wrasman said. The thermal switch senses moisture and it stops the pump so the motor isnt ruined. Smith said the EPA recommends an extra pump and said the old pump can be rebuilt so that it becomes a spare. Council approved taking the pump to a testing/repair facility in Norwalk. During the Maintenance Report, Smith discussed the villages tractor, which has had some mechanical issues in the past. Currently, the tractor has 900 hours logged on it and it is close to 3 years old. Should we stay with that model? he asked Wrasman. Id add a rear remote, which is a hydraulic valve on the back, so I could hook cycle mowing onto it to cut weeds at the river, etc. Go ahead and get prices, Smith said. The purchase will be through The Cooperative Purchasing Program. The Cooperative Purchasing Program offers Ohio counties, townships, municipalities, school districts, public libraries, regional park districts and other political subdivisions the benefits and cost savings of buying goods and services through state contracts. In mid-July, the village received four bids on the Second Street reconstruction project and the winning bid of $30,976 came from Ward Construction Co. of West Liberty. Smith said work will begin soon to meet the Sept. 23 completion deadline. He said it would be important to keep everyone in the loop regarding traffic movement. It should be a three- or four-day project, Smith said. There may be issues with the bank being open. In the Police Committee Report, councilman Greg Brown reported Fort Fest went smoothly with just a couple underage individuals caught with alcohol. In addition, Brown reported there was a landline phone scam with people calling and saying they were a phone company asking for Social Security numbers. Council members also passed a resolution to accept the 2013-14 budget. Smith asked Park Board member Derek Kaverman about the ongoing work on the park sewer line. We ran the conduit from the lift station to the park, Kaverman reported. Well extend the sewer line and hook up the Recreation Club. Council also discussed the new park restroom facility which is close to completion. The exterior is done and the interior is almost complete, Smith stated. Then it will be connected (to the sewer line). Smith said the Lions Club is really happy with the new facility and they just need a little more money to finish.

Karen couldnt stand to walk. Until vascular surgery got her back on her feet.
Every day, Karen faced a painful marathon: the 300-foot walk into work. Her primary care physician sent her to Lima Memorial Heart and Vascular Institute. Ultrasound showed that blood clots were blocking the artery from her heart to her leg. Her vascular surgeon decided to bypass the blockage, using a plastic artificial artery.

Mazur added that would be two seasons of inconvenience for residents and everyone traveling in that area.

The new boss was determined to rid the company of all slackers. On a tour of the facilities, the CEO noticed a guy leaning against a wall. The room was full of workers and he wanted to let them know that he meant business. He asked the guy, How much money do you make a week?
