DELPHOS In standing
tradition, the Jefferson High
School class of 2014 chose its
Honorary Wildcat during
commencement on Saturday.
Longtime Jefferson teach-
er and now substitute teacher
Roger Gossman accepted the
award from graduating grand-
daughter, Rileigh Stockwell.
Grandpa helps students
when they need it and always
made class fun, Stockwell
said. Hes very involved in
the community as well with
the Optimist Club.
Her classmates agreed.
Mr. Gossman is always
ready to help if a student is hav-
ing trouble, Austin Jettinghoff
said. It was a blessing to have
him as a teacher and he made
learning enjoyable.
Gabby Pimpas was also
involved in the selection.
Even though he was a
substitute teacher for us, I
know he taught at Jefferson
for a long time, she said. He
made sure we got our assign-
ments done, helped when he
could and made class fun.
EPA seeks to cut power plant carbon by one-third
BY DINA CAPPIELLO
Associated Press
WASHINGTON The Obama
administration today will roll out
a plan to cut earth-warming pol-
lution from power plants by 30
percent by 2030, setting in motion
one of the most significant actions
to address global warming in U.S.
history.
The rule, which is expected
to be final next year, will set
the first national limits on carbon
dioxide, the chief gas linked to
global warming from the nations
power plants. They are the larg-
est source of greenhouse gases in
the U.S., accounting for about a
third of the annual emissions that
make the U.S. the second largest
contributor to global warming on
the planet.
The regulation is a centerpiece
of President Barack Obamas plans
to reduce the pollution linked to
global warming, a step that the
administration hopes will get other
countries to act when negotiations
on a new international treaty resume
next year.
Despite concluding in 2009 that
greenhouse gases endanger human
health and welfare, a finding that
triggered their regulation under the
1970 Clean Air Act, it has taken
years for the administration to take
on the nations fleet of power plants.
In December 2010, the Obama
administration announced a mod-
est pace for setting greenhouse gas
standards for power plants, setting a
May 2012 deadline.
Obama put them on the fast track
last summer when he announced his
climate action plan and a renewed
commitment to climate change after
the issue went dormant during his
re-election campaign.
The purpose of this rule is to
really close the loophole on car-
bon pollution, reduce emissions as
weve done with lead, arsenic and
mercury and improve the health of
the American people and unleash
a new economic opportunity,
said Frances Beinecke, president
of the Natural Resources Defense
Council, which has drafted a plan
that informed the EPA proposal.
Yet the rule carries significant
political and legal risks, by further
diminishing coals role in produc-
ing U.S. electricity and offering
options for pollution reductions
far afield from the power plant,
such as increased efficiency. Once
the dominant source of energy in
the U.S., coal now supplies just
under 40 percent of the nations
electricity, as it has been replaced
by booming supplies of natural
gas and renewable sources such as
wind and solar.
Todays proposal from the EPA
could singlehandedly eliminate this
competitive advantage by remov-
ing reliable and abundant sources
of energy from our nations energy
mix, Jay Timmons, president and
CEO of the National Association of
Manufacturers, said in a statement
issued Sunday.
The White House said Obama
called a group of Democrats from
both the House and Senate on
Sunday to thank them for their sup-
port in advance of the rules official
release, which is expected to be
rigorously attacked by Republicans
and make Democrats up for re-
election in energy-producing states
nervous.

to work with a developmentally disabled boy who was a 4-H
member. That opportunity, says Branham today, proved to be
the turning point in her career path.
When I was 15-years-old, my mom worked for a photogra-

Friday.
Heath Wisher, 32, of
Delphos was traveling west-
bound on East Fifth Street
approaching a driveway to
a business in the 1800 block
of the street.
Brooke Bennett, 20, of
Knox, Indiana, was attempt-
ing to turn left from the
driveway of the same busi-
ness. Bennett pulled out in
front of Wisher and was
struck by his vehicle.
Bennetts vehicle sus-
tained moderate damage to
the left front portion and
Wishers vehicle had mod-
erate damage to its front.
Bicyclist hit riding on wrong side of road
INFORMATION SUBMITTED
DELPHOS A driver failed to see a bicyclist riding on the
wrong side of the road and hit him Wednesday.
Vicki Inkrott, 49, of Fort Jennings was stopped at the
intersection of Fort Jennings Road and Fifth Street and facing
southbound. Inkrott began a right turn on red, still looking left
to make sure there was no westbound traffic on Fifth Street.
Alan Goergenns, 72, of Delphos was riding his bicycle
along the curb in the westbound lane.
Inkrott hit Goergenns with the left front corner of her
vehicle.
The bicycle was totaled and Goergenns had minor injuries.
Inkrotts vehicle had minor damage to the left front corner.
At 3:12 a.m. May 24, a Delphos
officer on patrol initiated a traffic stop
on a vehicle after
observing the
driver commit a
traffic offense.
The officer made
contact with the
driver, 24-year-
old Megan
Fischbach of
Delphos, and
found that she
was operating the
vehicle on a sus-
pended drivers
license. Fischbach was issued a citation
for non-compliance suspension and will
appear in Van Wert Municipal Court
to face the charge. During this traffic
stop, a passen-
ger in the vehi-
cle, 25-year-old
Bradley McGue
of Delphos, was
found to be in
possession of
drug abuse instru-
ments and was
charged with that
offense. He will
appear in Lima
Municipal Court
on that charge.
On May 24, officers took a report
from a complainant in the 200 block
of North Pierce Street. Officers found
that someone unknown to the victim
had entered his garage and stole several
items.
At 8:20 p.m. May 25, officers and
EMS were called
to a residence in
the 200 block
of West Clime
Street for an
u n r e s p o n s i v e
male. Upon arriv-
al, officers iden-
tified the male
as 30-year-old
David Brooks of
Delphos. During
the investigation,
officers found evi-
dence to charge Brooks with posses-
sion of drug abuse instruments. He will
appear in Van Wert Municipal Court at
a later date.
On May 26, the Delphos Police
Department took a report from a female
in the 400 block of West Second Street.
The female told officers that someone
had entered her vehicle during the over-
night hours and removed property from
inside. This incident is under investiga-
tion.
On May 26, officers received a sec-
ond complaint of a vehicle being entered
in the 400 block of West Second Street.
The male victim told officers that sev-
eral items were missing from his vehicle
as well. This incident also remains under
investigation.
At 7:24 p.m. May 26, officers were
dispatched to the 500 block of East
Fourth Street to investigate a burglary
complaint. Officers found that electronic
items had been removed from the resi-
dence. Officers were given a possible
suspect at the time of the report. Since
that time, the items have been recovered
and a juvenile suspect will soon face
burglary charges.
At 4:35 p.m. Tuesday, officers were
sent to the 600 block of North Bredeick
Street to speak with a female who was
reportedly acting disorderly. After the
officer met with the female, she was
given a warning for the disorderly con-
duct. A short time later, officers received
a second complaint about the female.
Officers returned
to the residence
and advised the
female, 45-year-
old Debra
Etzkorn of
Delphos, that she
will be charged
with persistent
disorderly con-
duct. She will
appear in Van
Wert Municipal
Court to face the
charge.
At approximately 2 a.m. Wednesday,
officers were dispatched to the 500
block of West Fifth Street to investigate
the activity of a
suspicious male.
Officers located
the male identi-
fied as 52-year-
old Johnny
Ray Foust of
Delphos. Foust
was highly
intoxicated and
therefore was
arrested for dis-
orderly conduct
by intoxication.
He was transported to the Van Wert
County Jail.
On Wednesday, officers were called
to a business in the 1000 block of Elida
Avenue to investigate a possible theft.
Upon arrival, officers met with a busi-
ness employee who observed a female
possibly concealing items. Officers
located the female and found that she
had been concealing an item. The mer-
chandise was returned and no charges
were filed. The female was given a
criminal trespass order and advised not
to return.
At approximately 6 p.m. Thursday,
the Delphos Police Department received
a complaint from a female who advised
officers that she was receiving unwanted
calls on her cellphone. Officers had
taken a previous complaint from the
female regarding the same offense from
the same suspect. Officers had given a
warning to the suspect to cease all con-
tact with the victim. Due to the on-going
contact with the victim, officers are
filing a charge of telecommunications
harassment on him. The suspect will be
served with a summons to appear in Van
Wert Municipal Court.
At 11:45 p.m. Thursday, officers took
a report of criminal damaging from
a female in the 200 block of West
Fifth Street. The female reported that a
male left an establishment in that area
after an argument with his girlfriend.
The male reportedly struck the victims
vehicle with his fist causing damage. It
is unknown at this time if charges will
be pursued.
At 4:23 p.m. Friday, a male com-
plainant called the Delphos Police
Department to report that his brother
had taken his vehicle without per-
mission. Officers responded to the
complainants address where they
received more information for the
investigation. A short time later, offi-
cers located the vehicle and the sus-
pect. Officers forwarded a report of
the incident to the Van Wert County
Prosecutors Office for their review.
A charge of unauthorized use of a
motor vehicle will most likely be
authorized.
On Friday, officers took a report
from a resident in the 800 block of
West Skinner Street. The resident
found damage done to the exterior of
her home. The item used to cause the
damage was located and the incident
remains under investigation.
At approximately 11 p.m. Friday,
officers responded to a burglary in
progress call in the 200 block of West
Clime Street. Upon arrival to the resi-
dence, officers searched for the sus-
pect but found that he had left prior to
their arrival. Officers then spoke with
the victim and got a description of the
male. It was found that the male tried
to force his way into her residence.
Officers recovered evidence from the
area and have turned the investigation
over to the Detective Bureau.

Todays Highlight in History:
On June 2, 1864 (New Style
Calendar; May 21, 1864, Old
Style), after decades of scorched-
earth warfare, leaders of the
Circassians, a Muslim ethnic
group in the Caucasus region,
surrendered in Sochi to the army
of the Russian Empire, which
proceeded to expel hundreds of
thousands of Circassians.
On this date:
In 1863, during the Civil
War, Union Maj. Gen. William
T. Sherman wrote a letter to his
wife, Ellen, in which he com-
mented, Vox populi, vox hum-
bug (the voice of the people is
the voice of humbug).
In 1886, President Grover
Cleveland, 49, married Frances
Folsom, 21, in the Blue Room
of the White House. (To date,
Cleveland is the only president to
marry in the executive mansion.)

Society will hold their first-ever joint juried exhibit from
June 14 through July 26, with a public opening reception
on from 6:30-8:30 p.m. June 14 in the Ellen Nelson Gallery.
The Lima Area Watercolor Society was organized in

Van Wert County Fair Board
preparing for 158th edition
INFORMATION SUBMITTED
VAN WERT Grandstand improvements,
a new waterline, a new poultry barn and a new
rabbit barn are just a few items to look out for
at the Van Wert County 2014 Fair. Less than a
hundred days remain before the 158th edition
of the traditional event and the Fair Board is
announcing some new features for this years
fair.
Another first to look forward to this year
is the incorporation of the Hot Air Festival
into the activities, Fair Board Director and
Grandstand Concerts Chair Ann Marshall
said. Saturday night of the fair (Aug. 30) will
offer the Family Night Triple Play with a calf
scramble, country music duo Emerald Blue
from Nashville, Tennessee, and the Hot Air
Balloon Glow.
Speed Chairman Mike Poling noted that
Van Wert County Fair is still the only county
fair in the state of Ohio to offer thoroughbred
and quarter horse races and this year the
thoroughbreds will begin at a new start time
noon Sept. 1.
One thing that is not new this year is the
ticket prices. Entry into the gate will remain
$5 with season tickets the same $18 they were
last year.
The Fair Board welcomed a new member
at its May 21 meeting. Van Wert Economic
Development Director Sarah Smith was
moved up from auxiliary member to a more
official role. She was named to represent
Pleasant Township on the board, replacing
Terry Childs, who resigned from the board
in April.
Sarah had come to meetings to offer help
with grants as well as sponsorship for events
and ideas like the energy expo that will
be introduced at this years fair, said Fair
Board Treasurer Kyle Gehres. We had asked
her to be an auxiliary member so when the
director position for her township became
available the decision was easy. The skills
and ideas that Sarah brings with business,
marketing and development will only help
make the fair better.
Abandoned home to be restored for veterans
WARREN (AP) A
northeastern Ohio home built
in 1887 and abandoned in
recent years will be turned
into transitional housing
for veterans returning from
active duty.
The Trumbull County
Land Bank program had
selectively publicized that
it was willing to offer the
Warren property for free if
it found a renovator with the
plans and financial support
the more than $460,000 need-
ed to restore it.
A woman in nearby
Youngstown who learned
about the property through a
Facebook post came forward
with the plan for a privately
funded renovation to create
a veterans home, the Warren
Tribune Chronicle reported.
A lumber merchant built
the 5,561-square-foot Queen
Anne-style home, which
includes four bedrooms, five
bathrooms and details like
carved wooden columns and
a decommissioned elevator.
It became vacant in 2006, and
the land bank took control of
it through a tax foreclosure
last year.
We know its worth
someones renovation money,
but we didnt know who,
said Matt Martin, execu-
tive director of the Trumbull
Neighborhood Partnership.
The who turned out to be
Anna Gasser, 39, who devel-
oped her vision for transi-
tional housing with a commu-
nity feel after communicating
with soldiers overseas.
This will be five or six
guys who have lived through
similar experiences, Gasser
told the newspaper. It will
still give some sense of, Ive
got your back.
Debris-clearing work at
the property was scheduled
to begin this weekend, and
Martin and Gasser said city
feedback about the project
has been positive, though
hurdles remain. Gassers
nonprofit status has yet to be
approved, and the property
will have to be rezoned.
Meanwhile, a recent fea-
ture on the property in This
Old House magazine has
generated hundreds of calls.
Martin is redirecting call-
ers to other vacant buildings
in the local historic district,
hoping to pique their interest
in revitalizing others.

PUTTING YOUR
WORLD IN
PERSPECTIVE
Rare mono mono
twins progressing
CINCINNATI (AP) An
Ohio couple is getting a taste
of what its like to be celeb-
rity parents.
The parents of twins
born with a rare condition
in northeast Ohio say the
girls are making progress
toward going home from the
hospital. A photo showing
the girls holding hands taken
shortly after birth May 9
at Akron General Medical
Center has been widely seen
on social media, in newspa-
pers and on national TV.
Its still been crazy,
father Bill Thistlethwaite
said. Everywhere we go,
someone saw it (the photo).
People are still talking about
it.
He said he and wife Sarah
were approached by a lot of
people Saturday while hav-
ing breakfast at a diner in
their hometown of Orrville
before going to visit the
girls.
Its not bad, he said,
saying people just want to
know how Jenna and Jillian
are doing and express their
good wishes.
Both now are taking full
bottles and have gained
weight, each now at 5 pounds
or more.
The identical twins shared
the same amniotic sac and
placenta. Such births are
called monoamniotic, or
mono mono, and doctors
say they occur in about one
of every 10,000 pregnancies.
A second pair born at Akron
General the following week
also are doing well, hospital
spokeswoman Amy Kilgore
said.
Jenna was born first at
4 pounds, 2 ounces and 17
inches, with Jillian follow-
ing 48 seconds later at 3
pounds, 13 ounces and 17.5
inches. They were born at 33
weeks and two days to their
32-year-old middle school
math teacher mother.
They were moved to
Akron Childrens Hospital
after birth because they
needed breathing assistance.
If they continue to hit
feeding milestones, they will
soon be ready for release.
Born two days before
Mothers Day, they are on
track to be home in anoth-
er week or two, just before
Fathers Day.
Thistlethwaite said hes
been scrambling to finish
painting their bedroom pink.
Their son Jaxon, whose first
birthday was Jan. 27, has
visited the girls and kissed
them on the cheeks, his
father said.
Thistlethwaite has thought
about the day years in the
future when the parents will
show the girls their famous
baby photo.
I already feel like theyre
going to be best friends, he
said. Theyll probably look
at it and say That makes
sense, because thats how
we are.

Mr. and Mrs. Ken Blankemeyer
WWII vet, 91,
finally gets his high
school diploma
GREENFIELD, Ind. (AP)
A World War II veteran who
enlisted in the military rather
than graduate from high school
more than 70 years ago finally
has a high school diploma.
Ninety-one-year-old Walter
Worland received his honorary
diploma Saturday at Greenfield
Central High Schools gradu-
ation about 20 miles east of
Indianapolis.
Worland opted to enlist in
the military instead of graduat-
ing with his high school class
in 1942.
He tells WISH-TV that,
Life just goes on and you just
put things off, and this was one
of them.
Worland has established
a scholarship program for
Hancock County seniors and
funded the junior high schools
library. Hes also volunteered
for countless local organizations.
Worland says he hopes his
fellow, much younger 2014
graduates will carry on his leg-
acy of service.
32-year-old woman gets
high school diploma
COLUMBUS (AP) A 32-year-old Ohio woman can
finally call herself a high school graduate.
Chayla Wigton lined up with Brookhaven High
Schools class of 2014 on Saturday, walked across the
stage at the Greater Columbus Convention Center, and
received her diploma with a group of students who
werent yet in kindergarten when she was a senior in
2000.
Wigton earned enough credits to graduate 14 years
ago, but couldnt get her diploma because she failed the
math section of the state graduation exam.
After failing four retakes the summer after her senior
year, Wigton decided to move on with her life.
But last October, Wigton decided she wanted to take
the test one more time. With the help of a tutor, she
passed.
Its life-changing, Wigton told The Columbus
Dispatch. Ive wanted it for so long. I thought I was a
failure when I didnt have it.
After failing to receive her diploma in 2000, Wigton
joined the Bank One Academy, an internship program
at several Columbus high schools that connects students
with jobs after high school.
Since then, Wigton has supported herself without her
diploma, becoming a bill collector at a local collections
agency.
Wigton, a resident of Whitehall in suburban Columbus,
applied to other jobs for a chance at a better paycheck but
wasnt qualified, prompting her to tackle the graduation
exam once again.
I was sick of it, she said. I had to let a job go because
they asked for a high-school diploma, and I couldnt pro-
duce it.
Wigtons mother hired a tutor, who spent two months
helping Wigton prepare for math concepts she hadnt
studied since high school.
There were so many questions about the circles and
angles, she recalled. Put this angle in another angle.
Does it fit? It was very overwhelming.
She took the exam in October. Two months later, she
was at home when she got a call with her results.
I fell to the floor and started crying, Wigton said. I
was just so happy.
When she returned to Brookhaven on Thursday to
practice for graduation, the first time since she was 18, it
was really a great feeling of accomplishment.
I had to leave there because of what I didnt accom-
plish in 2000, she said. But I was back to get what I
left.
Ky. man auctioning rare
comic book collection
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP)
The first glimpses of iconic
heroes Superman, Batman and
Flash are part of a rare comic
book collection a Kentucky
man is auctioning off to the
highest bidders.
Paducah insurance execu-
tive John C. Wise decided it was
time to sell the collection hes
been accumulating over three
decades, revisiting a childhood
pastime that he picked up again
in the 1980s after he became
established in his career.
I think its a good timing
for the market, and good timing
for me at age 62, said Wise,
who moved to Kentucky from
his hometown of Rockford,
Illinois, to attend college. Its
not like Im not going to take
them with me.
The books Wise is auction-
ing sold for as little as 10 cents
when they were published,
many in the late 1930s and
1940s. Some of the issues in
good condition today can fetch
hundreds of thousands of dol-
lars. He is auctioning about 175
comics individually, and online
bidders have already commit-
ted at least a half-million dol-
lars to the auction, which ends
Tuesday.
Among the offerings is a
pristine issue of Flash Comics
No. 1 from 1940, which tells
the story of how college stu-
dent Jay Garrick gained super-
human speed by inhaling fumes
in a lab accident.
This copy is in incredible
high-grade condition and is
the second-best copy known
to exist, comic book expert
Vincent Zurzolo said in an
email message. Zurzolo is
co-owner of New York-based
ComicConnect.com, the online
auction house that is selling
Wises collection.
By Saturday evening, the
bidding on that book alone
had reached $91,000. Bids on
the first editions of Superman,
Batman and the Flash from
Wises collection totaled
$220,000 on Saturday.
Wise first started collecting
comics at age 12, and sold his
first collection to buy a car as
a teenager. He picked up the
hobby again later in life, and
started frequenting Comic-Con
in San Diego, where he eventu-
ally bought a second home.
Wise and Zurzolo said the
exploding popularity of super
heroes in movies and TV makes
it an opportune time to capital-
ize on valuable comics.
The blockbuster movies
are bringing in new collectors
and investors into the vintage
comic market on a daily basis,
Zurzolo said.
Wise is also selling a copy
of Action Comics No. 1, which
is the debut of Superman and
is considered the birth of the
comic book super hero. A well-
preserved copy of the 1938
comic sold for a record $2.1
million in 2011. Zurzolo said
there are fewer than 100 copies
of the issue in existence.
Wise said hes hoping the
proceeds from the auctions will
help him buy a new home in
San Diego and fund college
tuitions for his seven grand-
children.
Maleficent spooks box
office with $70M debut
NEW YORK (AP) The
biggest box-office debut of
Angelina Jolies career pro-
pelled Disneys twisted fairy
tale Maleficent to a scary-
good $70 million opening.
The PG-rated fantasy
beat forecasts to easily top
all films over the week-
end, according to studio
estimates Sunday. Though
Maleficent was early on
considered a risky endeavor
for Disney that might turn
away family audiences by
retelling Sleeping Beauty
from the villains perspec-
tive, the film emerged as a
hit largely because of the
draw of Jolie.
Star power has been
increasingly elusive in mod-
ern Hollywood, where name-
brand concepts often rule the
box-office. But Jolie, in her
first live-action starring role
in years, drove interest for
Maleficent despite lack-
luster reviews from critics.
Its a unique thing, said
Dave Hollis, head of distri-
bution for Disney. Her star
power transcends borders
and genre.
Seth MacFarlanes
Western comedy A Million
Ways to Die in the West was
out-gunned by Maleficent.
The R-rated Universal
release opened in third place
with a tepid $17.1 million
despite a starry cast of Liam
Neeson, Charlize Theron and
Amanda Seyfried. By con-
trast, MacFarlanes Ted
(for which hes making a
sequel) opened with $54.4
million in 2012.
Last weekends top film,
Foxs big-budget mutant
sequel X-Men: Days of
Future Past, dropped to sec-
ond with $32.6 million. Its a
somewhat steep decline for
Days of Future Past, but
the film made $95.6 million
internationally in its second
week, good enough to push
its global cumulative total
passed $500 million already.
But Maleficent domi-
nated the marketplace, which
has seen female-leading
films continually challenge
the much-disputed but still
prevalent notion that male
stars fuel box office.
The whole movie kind
of rises and sets on her
performance, said Paul
Dergarabedian, senior ana-
lyst for box-office tracker
Rentrak. The concept is the
character. The character is
completely linked to the per-
son playing that role.
The film was a balancing
act for Disney, which is used
to churning out brighter tales.
Hollis credited the compa-
nys marketing department
for walking the fine line of
selling the movie to families
(which made up 45 percent
of the audience, according
to Disney) and suggest-
ing an edginess that would
appeal to a broader audience.
Maleficent earned about
$100 million internationally.
If you go to Disney,
the longest lines are for
the scariest rides, said
Dergarabedian. Were
going to see more of this,
where the villains are the
new heroes.
Disney has had success
reimagining fairy tales in
recent years with Alice in
Wonderland ($116 million
in 2010) and Oz the Great
and Powerful ($79.1 million
debut in 2013). Maleficent
fell short of those releases,
but it was made in the same
lineage. Robert Stromberg,
the production designer for
both earlier movies, makes
his directorial debut with
Maleficent.
Next weekend will bring
a battle between Shailene
Woodley in the young adult
novel adaptation The Fault
in Our Stars and Tom
Cruise in the sci-fi thriller
Edge of Tomorrow. Edge
of Tomorrow got a jump on
its North America release,
taking in $20 million in 28
countries over the weekend.
Estimated ticket sales for
Friday through Sunday at
U.S. and Canadian theaters,
according to Rentrak. Where
available, latest international
numbers are also included.
Final domestic figures will
be released on today.
1.Maleficent, $70 mil-
lion, ($100.6 million inter-
national).
2.X-Men: Days of

Pain Doctor Discovers Blood Flow-
Busting Material Into Miracle Socks
for Diabetics and Foot Pain Sufferers!
Breakthrough circulation-boosting fibers improve blood flow, relieve swelling,
boost oxygen flow, and eliminate foot fatigue - naturally in as little as 5 minutes!
Being Diabetic, I never had pain-free feet - UNTILNOW!
PAD ADVERTSEMENT
What part of your swollen, tired,
or achy feet would you like to see
go-away?
If you suffer from poor circula-
tion, injury, swelling or any condi-
tion that leaves your feet fatigued
and sore, then read on to discover
the breakthrough that can change
your life.
Good news comes in the form of
a pain-busting microfiber that is
used to weave a circulation-boost-
ing sock, called Bambusa
TM
.
Better Blood Flow
The miracle sock is made from
a new, patented anion-technology
that is weaved into every strand of
thread used to make a Bambusa
TM
sock. This special micro-fiber
thread is made from revolutionary
bamboo charcoal to stimulate
blood flow andrevitalize feet.
When this material comes in con-
tact with body-heat it is proven to
release circulation-boosting ions.
The 3D-weave technology used
in the material has been compared
to infrared light therapy to help re-
vitalize stiff and sore muscles. The
manufacturer, who also makes a
back and wrist sleeve, says the ma-
terial provides almost instant relief
to any part of the body it touches,
making it ideal for diabetics, ath-
letes,inflammation, stiffness and
swelling.
Anne M. from California agrees.
Bambusa socks are absolutely the
most comfortable socks I have ever
worn! My feet are no longer fa-
tigued!
Therapy
Without A Prescription!
When the socks were pho-
tographed using a thermographic
imaging camera, results showed up
to a 17% to 22% increase in blood
flow. This helped to improvemus-
cle oxygenation and decrease foot
fatigue. The socks have been proven
to provide extended relief from
cold, swollen and fatigued feet.

technology. In-
frared therapy has
been used for
years at medical
clinics to treat vascular and circula-
tory conditions. Physical therapists
use infrared therapy to speed re-
covery. Better blood flow equals
less pain. This microfiber works
much the same way.
"Circulatory dysfunction affects
MOST of the adult population in
the United States. Heart Disease,
Strokes and Diabetic conditions are
at epidemic levels; anything that
improves circulation improves cel-
lular health and vitality. I use the
Bambusa product myself and rec-
ommend it to my clients. It really
works! states Dr Jahner.
Results in Minutes?
John G. of California claims he
felt immediate results with his
tired, swollen feet. Without exag-
geration the relief was almost in-
stantaneous. It is like a heating pad
set to low and wrapped around my
calf. I will be replacing my entire
set of dress socks with these
socks!
Relief for Tired, Swollen Feet
Bambusa
TM
socks are not a med-
ical device or compression socks
because they dont restrict blood
flow. Utilizing the special negative-
anion technology, they comfortably
increase blood flow and oxygen to
tissues. My feet felt wonderful,
cool, and I never got that pins and
needles feeling anymore. I love my
Bambusa
TM
socks, says Nancy,
from NJ.
They are ideal for diabetics and
those suffering from neuropathy or
injury from repetitive use. Bam-
busa
TM
socks can also bring com-
fort to tired legs within minutes of
putting them on, energizing indi-
viduals who spend long hours on
their feet.
Goodbye to Pain and Numbness
Marilyn H. has suffered persist-
ent foot problems for years and no-
ticed fast results. The issue for me
was persistent numbness in my
toes - it was gone completely after
a few days of wearing these socks!
Being diabetic, I never had pain-
free feet - UNTILNOW!
I went out on the golf course
for 18 holes of golf, and when I got
home my feet werent swollen,
they werent sweating and my feet
didnt hurt, says Lou B. from New
York.
BENEFITS:
Increased blood flow and
oxygen
Reduced swelling and pain
Anti-microbial
Wicks away moisture
Increased range of motion
IDEALFOR:
Neuropathy
Raynaud's Syndrome
Cramping
Cold Feet
Tom from NJ reports, I suffer
from chronic foot cramps. My feet
were sore for days after the cramp-
ing. My wife gave me the Bam-
busa
TM
socks, I wore them, and the
foot cramps stopped. I replaced all
my socks with Bambusa
TM
. My
feet feel great now.

The infrared anions generated by the charcoal bamboo in-
crease blood flow and deliver oxygen to the tissues. After
wearing for only minutes there is an increase in temperature
due to the increased blood flow, resulting in improved com-
fort and reduced swelling. Twenty minutes after using the
anion-fiber infused socks, patient has better blood flow and
less numbness.

Cougar 4x4 boys to lead local
tracksters to Division II State meet
By JIM METCALFE
dhi MEDIA Sports Editor
jmetcalfe@del-
phosherald.com
DAYTON It was
Division IIs turn to take
center stage on a gorgeous
Saturday afternoon and
decide which Tri-County
track and field athletes would
advance to the OHSAA State
Track and Field Meet out of
the Dayton Regional.
The Van Wert 4x400-
meter boys relay took first
place to pace the local ath-
letes onward to Columbus.
Juniors Nicholas Krugh,
Quincey Salcido and Hunter
Perl and sophomore Tymon
Moore scorched to a 3:22.68
clocking to take the top spot
in the last event of the after-
noon.
We all ran a great race. I
wanted to get us off quickly
and put my teammates in a
good position to run their
best, leadoff leg Moore
noted. We all ran our per-
sonal-best splits in this event.
It just clicked really well
today for us.
It feels great to be going
to State, especially to do it
as we did. We took over five
seconds off our previous
best, Salcido, the third leg,
chimed in. I felt I kicked it
in really well in the last 150-
200 meters. The competition
forced us to run our best and
we responded to it.
Perl, the anchor, just fin-
ished the job.
My teammates did a great
job of putting me in a good
position to finish well, he
added. We all did what we
were supposed to do today,
what weve worked on from
the start of the season and
through the season. Its great
to see the hard work come to
this.
Krugh had extra motiva-
tion in this race.
Earlier, he finished sev-
enth in the 100-meter dash
and then returned to grab
third in the 200-meter dash.
I was kind of upset and
disappointed that I didnt do
as well as I thought I would
in the 100. I had great expec-
tations to advance to State,
he explained. I came back
with a PR in the 200 (22.3)
and broke the Van Wert High
School record in the process.
In the 4x4, it felt really good
to do this well with these
guys.
Im fortunate to be going
in two events; Im definitely
going to have to prepare real-
ly well. This is what you aim
for all year.
Elida sophomore Tori
Bowen clinched second in
the girls pole vault, losing out
to Jenna Frantz of Versailles
in a jump-off for first.
I jumped 10-2, which is
my PR. I started out the year
jumping 9 feet, so Ive made
a huge stride in this event,
Bowen said. For me, it was
more mental than physical;
I have a more aggressive
approach to my jumps.
Im only a sophomore, so
this is nice. I want to place at
State; that is my goal going
in.
Van Wert junior Whitney
Meyers secured second place
in the girls 300-meter (30-
inch) hurdles, while class-
mate and teammate Alexis
Dowdy was also runner-up in
the girls shot put.
Meyers had some distrac-
tions to work through.
One of the other girls hit
one of the hurdles in the first
100 meters and you really
have to fight the urge to be
tentative. I had to focus hard
on what I was doing and
not let that get to me, she
relayed. I knew coming in
I had to stay with the others
in the first turn, so I attacked
it hard. I scraped one of the
hurdles with my knee but I
just kept my concentration.
Im pretty happy with my
performance today and mov-
ing on.
Dowdy threw a 42-10 1/4
on her third throw of the
prelims and could relax some
after that, knowing she had
a good chance to return to
Columbus.
I made it to State last year
and finished 10th at 38-10.
My best this year previously
had been 41-0, the first time
Id ever thrown over 40,
Dowdy recalled. However,
that was pretty early in the
season and I havent thrown
over 40 since until today; all
six throws were over 40-8.
This gives me a lot of con-
fidence going into next week.
I belong here. Basically, I did
what Id been coached to do
all season and it finally came
together consistently today.
I figure Ill have to throw
43-44 feet next week to finish
fourth or fifth. Im confident
I can do that.
The final group of locals to
earn the trek to Jesse Owens
Memorial Stadium with the
field events kicking matters
off at 9:30 a.m. Friday
is Elidas 4x100-meter relay
of senior Avery Sumpter
and juniors Desmend White,
Clark Etzler and Corbin
Stratton, who grabbed fourth
to advance, putting together a
time of 44.20.
At the start of the year,
when this group ran its first
relay, we were in the high
46s, Stratton, the third leg,
recalled. We kept work-
ing hard to get the timing
down. We ran 44.13 in the
prelims Thursday. We didnt
quite get that today but it was
good enough. As weve gone
up against better competi-
tion, weve really improved;
weve been forced to do so.
Were pretty happy about
qualifying to State, Sumpter,
the anchor, said.
For White, it was simple.
We all just did what
were capable of doing, he
added. When you do what
youre supposed to do, what
youve been coached to do,
good things happen.
Barely missing out with a
fifth-place finish was the Van
Wert girls 4x400-meter relay
of Meyers, senior Amanda
Clay, sophomore Alicia
Danylchuk and freshman
Emma Kohn.
In sixth place was the Elida
boys 4x4 of Etzler, senior
Simen Domaas, sophomore
Gaerid Littler and freshman
Sam Quaintance and Etzler
in the boys 400-meter dash,
while Salcido was seventh in
that event.
Cougar junior Connor
Holliday placed sixth in the
boys 3,200-meter dash.
Placing seventh were Clay
in the 400-meter dash and
Van Werts girls 4x1 relay of
Danylchuk, Kohn and sopho-
mores Domonique Grothause
and Landrie Koontz.
Van Wert senior Andrea
Foster placed ninth in the
girls 3,200-meter run.
Clay ended up 10th in the
long jump.
The Division II field
events and the Division III
running events kick off at
9:30 a.m. Friday to commence
the 2014 OHSAA State Track
and Field Championships
at venerable Jesse Owens
Memorial Stadium.

DELPHOS The weather was abso-

Miller Memorial Baseball Tournament
held over the weekend at Stadium Park.
The yearly event has seen unseasonable
cold temperatures, extreme heat near 95
degrees and rain in its short four year
history.
The three day tournament kicked off
Friday evening with the opening ceremony
and the awarding of scholarships awarded
in Nathans memory. Past winners include
Ben Babcock and Jordan Leininger in
2011, Justin Rode and Alex Wehri in
2012, and Seth Wollenhaupt and Curtis
Geise last year. For 2014, Sam and Angie
Miller decided to expand the award to a
pair of winners from each Delphos school.
Austin Jettinghoff and Justin Stewart rep-
resented Delphos Jefferson School and
Aaron Hellman with Kyle Pohlman were
selected from St. Johns.
We had six really excellent candidates
interview this year and it was extremely
hard narrowing it down to these four,
Angie said. I would have loved to give
scholarships to all the kids but our com-
mittee had to make a difficult choice.
The action on the field Friday night
was also doubled as eight games were
played with Van Wert defeating the
Delphos Pirates, Elida over Columbus
Grove, Kalida doubled up the Delphos
Braves, Delphos Reds lost to Buffalo Wild
Wings 8-0 and the Delphos V.F.W. was
victorious 14-5 over Spencerville.
Saturday promised a full day of action
on all four diamonds as a total of 23
games were on the slate. It was a rough
day for Delphos teams as Glandorf shut-
out the Delphos V.F.W. 11-0 in the first
game of the day. Columbus Grove also
scored 11 runs defeating the Delphos
Pirates 11-1 as did St.Marys outscoring
the Delphos Braves 11-7. The Delphos
Reds lost a heartbreaker to eventual cham-
pion St.Marys by one run, 5 to 4.
The economic impact of the tourna-
ment could be seen all over town as 20
teams converged on Delphos. Fast food
restaurants were busy, as was The Dairy
Hut and The Creamery. Gas stations also
saw an increase in business as teams
needed to fill up driving as far away as
Kenton, Sidney and Ayersville.
The most exciting game of the day
was also the last game as Bath tied the
Delphos Braves in the last inning to send
the contest to extra innings. The last pitch
was thrown at 11:15 p.m. as Bath came
from behind to defeat the Braves 9 to 8 in
8 innings.
Pool play winners included: St.Marys
(12), Kalida, Glandorf, Columbus Grove
and Kenton. Three wildcard teams also
advanced to Sunday: Sidney, Ayersville
and Tinoras Buffalo Wild Wings.
In the championship game, St. Marys
scored six runs in their final at bat to break
open a close game to cruise to a 16-7 vic-
tory over Kenton. Last years tournament
champion, Kalida, took the consolation
game over their Putnam County rival
Glandorf to finish third.

Mason Santos of Tinora's Buffalo Wild Wings won
the second annual home run derby.
St. Marys wins Nathan Miller Tournament,
four awarded memorial scholarships
Bourns walk-off homer gives Indians 6-4 win
CLEVELAND (AP)
Michael Bourn didnt take
much time to savor the first
walk-off hit of his career.
Racing around the bases
as if his two-run homer in
the ninth inning was still in
play, Bourn was mobbed
by his teammates when he
reached home plate as
the Cleveland Indians
completed a three-
game sweep of the
Colorado Rockies with
a 6-4 win on Sunday.
I was pretty excit-
ed, said Bourn, who
threw his helmet into
the air after rounding third
before being doused with
water. I was flying around
the bases. I was happy not just
because I hit a walk-off, but
that we got the sweep against
a good team. It was a really
good moment I wont for-
get. My emotions were really
going.
Bourn hit an 0-1 pitch into
the right-field seats off Adam
Ottavino (0-2). Mike Aviles
singled and took second on
George Kottaras sacrifice
before Bourn hit his second
home run of the season. The
walk-off win was Clevelands
fourth of the season.
In that situation you just
look for a pitch to hit, and
when you get one to hit you
have to make sure you hit it,
Bourn said.
Scott Atchison
(2-0) worked around a
two-out double in the
ninth by striking out
Charlie Blackmon to
end the inning.
Colorado complet-
ed a 2-7 road trip and
has lost four straight
for the first time since last
September. The Rockies lost
two of three in Atlanta and
Philadelphia before being
swept away by the Indians.
We battled and we came
up short, Rockies manager
Walt Weiss said. Thats the
way it went again today. A
timely hit sometimes can
change a game, but weve
had a hard time getting it this
whole trip. If you dont take
advantage, it will come back
and haunt you. It did again.
The Rockies fell to .500
for the first time since April
20 when they were 10-10.
Colorado is 12-21 on the road.
Josh Tomlin allowed three
runs and matched a career
high with eight strikeouts in
5 2-3 innings. He left with
a 4-3 lead, but Blackmons
sacrifice fly off Bryan Shaw
tied the game in the seventh.
Lonnie Chisenhall, who
had six RBIs in the series,
broke a 3-all tie in the third
with a sacrifice fly.
Jhoulys Chacin allowed
four runs in five innings.
The Indians scored three
runs on one hit Michael
Brantleys RBI single in
the first. A bases-loaded walk
to Jason Giambi and David
Murphys sacrifice fly scored
the other runs.
Chacin created his own
problems in the inning by
walking three and committing
a throwing error.
Aviles RBI single in the
eighth gave Cleveland a 7-6
win Saturday and a four-run
inning was the key in Fridays
5-2 victory.
4 solo HRs propel Reds to 4-3 victory
PHOENIX (AP) The energized Cincinnati
Reds head home feeling theyre finally playing the
way they thought would.
Chris Heisey hit a go-ahead homer in the fifth
inning and the Reds connected four times in all, beat-
ing Arizona 4-3 on Sunday to take three
of four from the Diamondbacks.
Cincinnati led 3-0 after homers
by Zack Cozart and Todd Frazier in
the third and by Ryan Ludwick in the
fourth. Arizona tied it with a three-run
fourth, then Heiseys second home run of the season
put the Reds on top for good.
Were really not a home-run hitting team,
Frazier said, but when we do, we win.
Frazier said the Reds have talked about boosting
their energy on the field.
A little gusto, he said. Thats a word I used to
use in high school in football. You have to show a
little gusto, and I think weve been doing that. The
energy is there, the fun is starting to come back.
Were just happy were playing good ball right now.
Converted reliever Alfredo Simon (7-3) gave
up three runs in 6 1-3 innings. Aroldis Chapman hit
103 mph on the Chase Field radar gun in a perfect
ninth, overpowering three batters not long ago in the
minor leagues and earning his seventh save in eight
opportunities.
Wade Miley (3-6) allowed four home runs in a
game for the first time in his career.
He pitched well except for the four pitches,
Arizona manager Kirk Gibson said, and those guys
hammered them.
David Peralta singled twice in his major league
debut for the Diamondbacks.
The Reds won their last three and four of five to
finish their western trip 4-3.
You fight to win series and get on a roll,
Cincinnati manager Bryan Price said. Thats four
out of five. Were heading in a nice direc-
tion.
Arizona wrapped up a 3-4 homestand.
I thought we swung the bats pretty well
today, Gibson said. We hit a lot of balls and
they made some plays on us. It just wasnt
meant to be and that is frustrating.
At the end they just shut us down. Chapman
come in throwing 102, 103, it is pretty tough duty.
Cozart hit the first pitch of the third inning into the
left- field seats, his second home run of the season, to
make it 1-0. After two outs, Frazier hit Mileys 1-0
pitch into the same area, his team-high 10th homer
and the Reds led 2-0.
Cincinnati made it 3-0 in the fourth when, with
two outs, Ludwick homered also to left.
Arizona broke a streak of 15 scoreless innings in
the fourth.
Paul Goldschmidt drew a one-out walk and when
Miguel Montero lined Simons 3-0 pitch off the wall
in right-center for a double.
Montero moved to third on Martin Prados single
then scored on Eric Chavezs sacrifice fly to cut the
lead to 3-2. Peralta, just up from Double-A Mobile
to replace the injured A.J. Pollock, singled to center,
putting runners at first and third, and Ender Inciarte
singled in the tying run.
Peralta led off the seventh with a single and
Inciarte flied out to deep right. That was it for Simon.

Dear Abby
Wife has much to consider
before agreeing to surrogacy
DEAR ABBY: I am a young,
recently married woman. My
husband and I are about at the
point where were thinking of
having kids. My brother married
a close friend of mine soon after
my wedding, and my sister-in-law
has a medical condition that may
prevent her from having children.
I am very close to my brother
and his wife, and I can see the
writing on the wall. She has
mentioned surrogacy once in
passing, as a possible alternative
if she cant have kids. If I am
asked to be the surrogate, what
advice do you have? Id be more
than willing to consider it, but
only after my husband and I have
had our own children.
If I do it, would it be selfish of
me to expect some compensation
for my time and the toll it will take
on my body? I want to be ready if
and when Im asked. What would
be the best way to explain my
reasoning to her? -- BACKUP
MOM IN THE NORTHWEST
DEAR BACKUP: You may
be jumping the gun, because you
do not yet know how your body
will tolerate a pregnancy. Not all
women have easy pregnancies,
and if youre one of them,
you may be less willing to be
a surrogate. As to monetary
compensation for wear and tear,
thats a question you should ask
a lawyer because compensation
may not be allowed in the state in
which you reside.
You, together with your brother
and sister-in-law, should also
discuss with a mental health
professional the emotional
issues that may arise -- such as
everyones expectations about
what will happen when the baby
arrives, what might happen if
there is a death, a divorce, a
move, and what your role would
be -- whether you will be the birth
mother or a legal aunt, etc. All of
this should be clarified if your
sister-in-law asks you to be her
surrogate.
DEAR ABBY: I recently
retired for the second time. At
70, I applied for a job online, was
interviewed by a company and
hired. I could hardly believe it.
Three years later, I was having a
medical problem, so I thought it
best to retire again if I couldnt do
the work I was hired to do.
After a month of rest I feel
fine now. My husband thinks I
was overworked. I want to get
another job. Abby, why do I
feel the need to still work? Most
of my friends tell me to enjoy
life, sit back and relax, but my
work defined me and I loved it.
Shouldnt I try working again if
my health continues to improve?
-- NOSE TO THE GRINDSTONE
IN GEORGIA
DEAR NOSE TO THE
GRINDSTONE: Not everyone is
happy in retirement. Some people
need the routine of work and the
stimulation of being around other
people. Also, not everyone ages at
the same rate.
However, its important to
listen to your body and pace
yourself. Theres a saying, You
can fool Mother Nature, but you
cant fool Father Time. If your
last job drained you to the point
of illness, choose something that
is less taxing (either full-time or
part-time). Youll enjoy your life
and last longer if you do.
DEAR ABBY: I am a Brit,
now living in the U.S. When,
upon departing, someone says,
Have a good one! what is the
correct response? -- PUZZLED
IN PENNSYLVANIA
DEAR PUZZLED: Some
people respond, Thanks, the
same to you. Others have been
known to say, Thanks, Im
already having one!
The important thing is to
always say thank you.

Van Buren, also known as Jeanne
Phillips, and was founded by her

Ask Mr. Know-it-All
Halles namesake played
role in Drew Carey
by Gary Clothier
Q: Was actress
Halle Berry really
named after a
department store?
-- T.L.,
Al a mo s a ,
Colo.
A: Yes,
she really
was. The
actress, born
Maria Halle
Berry, was
named after
the Halle
building, a
l a n d ma r k
in her hometown,
Cleveland. The
building housed the
Halle Brothers Co.
department store.
It is now an office
building. In the
1990s, it was the
fictional setting for
the Winfred-Louder
department store on
The Drew Carey
Show.
Q: During the
medieval period,
many women wore
a cloth that covered
their heads. The
material wrapped
around the head and
chin. What is this
garment called? --
O.D., Ames, Iowa
A: The headpiece
is called a wimple,
and it was popular
in medieval Europe.
At one time, it
was believed
inappropriate for a
married woman to
show her hair.
Wimples are
still worn today by
nuns who wear the
traditional habit.
Wearing a wimple
observes a passage
in the Bible, in 1
Corinthians 11:5:
But every woman
that prayeth or
prophesieth with
her head uncovered
dishonoureth
her head: for
that is even
all one as
if she were
shaven.
Q: Lets
say I live in
the tropics,
and I decide
to grow
b a n a n a s .
How many
pounds will I get
per acre? -- O.N.R.,
Ocala, Fla.
A: You can expect
to grow anywhere
from 10,000 to
16,000 pounds per
acre.
Q: What was Dizzy
Gillespies real name?
-- H.B.V., Warren, Pa.
A: John Birks
Dizzy Gillespie
was born Oct. 21,
1917, in Cheraw,
S.C. His innovative
trumpet playing made
him a founding father
of modern jazz and
an inventor of bebop.
Gillespie died of
pancreatic cancer in
Englewood, N.J., in
1993.

Halle Berry
Monday, June 2, 2014
Be prepared to make a lot of
advances this year. Keep your
energy level up so you dont
miss out on any opportunity
to gather knowledge and
pursue prospects. A disciplined
approach to life and work will
ensure that you reach your
goals successfully.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
-- Unexpected changes may
cause uncertainty, making you
feel uneasy. Think positively,
and the end result will be
benefcial. Put your needs frst
and refuse to let anyone deter
you.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
-- Do whats necessary to reach
your goals. Trying to keep up
with a friend, peer or neighbor
will result in dissatisfaction and
missed opportunities. Embrace
change instead of rejecting the
inevitable.
LEO (July 23-Aug.
22) -- Your sensitivity and
compassion for the underdog
will add to your popularity.
If you give all you can, you
will gain respect and personal
satisfaction. Participate instead
of being a spectator.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.
22) -- You will have questions
about the domestic situations
you face. Be observant, and if
any issue is unclear, make it
your business to ferret out the
information you require.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) --
Getting involved in community
events will raise your profle.
You will also make infuential
business connections if you are
prepared to take a position of
leadership. Speak up.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
22) -- Helping others is a nice
gesture, but now its time to
further your own position.
Concentrate on your goals and
the preparation necessary to
ensure your success.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-
Dec. 21) -- You will be the
victor today. Put your best foot
forward. Your confdence and
ability will help you excel, and
will impress onlookers who can
contribute to your game plan.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-
Jan. 19) -- Prepare to jettison
your affnity for old means and
methods. Its time to update
the way you think and become
more in step with the times. A
successful new beginning looks
promising.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-
Feb. 19) -- Youll be tempted
to stretch the truth. If you
exaggerate about your
qualifcations, you will face
consequences. Stick to the facts
and dont make promises you
cannot honor.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March
20) -- Close the door on the
past. Previous setbacks helped
pave the way to where you
are now. Dust yourself off and
move forward with pride and a
positive attitude.
ARIES (March 21-April
19) -- Take time to rest and
relax. You may not have as
many allies as you think. Be
willing to compromise if it
will help you avoid a sticky
situation.
TAURUS (April 20-
May 20) -- A question that
has been plaguing you can
fnally be resolved. Becoming
preoccupied with minor issues
will prevent you from seeing
the big picture and recognizing
an interesting prospect.

50 Years Ago 1964
Harold Wieging, president
of Delphos City Council;
Rev. John E. Wilcox, pastor
of First United Presbyterian
Church and principal speak-
er; and John Metzner, Sr.,
who was master of ceremo-
nies, stood before the mon-
ument in Library Park for
the annual observance of
Memorial Day Saturday. The
Eagles band led the parade,
which preceded the services.
Morris Chapels Womens
Society of Christian Service
held a pledge meeting this
week at the church with
Helen Brenneman in charge
of the pledge service and also
serving as program director.
Mary Baxter was in charge
of the worship service.
Hostesses included Mildred
Keller, Stella Jamison and
Mary Baxter.
William A. Bridges, son of
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Bridges
of Delphos, has recently
completed his basic training
at Lackland Air Force Base,
Texas. He is now stationed
at Amarillo Air Force Base,
Texas, where he is attending
technical school. He was a
1963 graduate of Delphos St.
Johns.
75 Years Ago 1939
Two league kitten-
ball games were played in
Delphos Wednesday evening.
Sheeters defeated Raabes by
a score of 10 to 6 at city
field and the Lions won from
Millers at the Waterworks
Park. The Sheeter win over
Raabes was considered an
upset since Raabes were tied
for first place until they were
defeated by the Lion team
last week.
Repairing, remodel-
ing and beautification of
the Delphos Waterworks
Park is now underway. At
least 20 National Youth
Administration workers are
on the project under the super-
vision of John Wahmhoff.
Maurice R. Young is the area
supervisor of NYA in charge
of the project. Five classes in
painting will be conducted at
the beginning of each shift
of workers by William Point,
Delphos painter. Health and
safety instructions will be
taught by John Keller of the
adult education program.
Mrs. Cloyd Berry, North
Main Street, had the mem-
bers of the Happy Twelve
Club as her guests at her
home Wednesday evening.
Mrs. John Fossell was high
in bunco, Mrs. Edward
Dickman, second, and Mrs.
William Berry, low. In a con-
test, the honors were awarded
Mrs. Charles Hering. In three
weeks, Mrs. Fossell, North
Main Street, will entertain.
Kiwanis Club members mulch parks Saturday
Kiwanis members and volunteers worked together to spiff up Waterworks Park with 200 cubic yards of shredded mulch Saturday
morning. Working on mulching the play area are, from left, Ty Rudasill, Dave Casemire, Dianne Wiltsie, Sue Wagner, Lea Rudasill,
Tim Rostorfer, Max Wisher, Jessica Rudasill and Dave Smith. Not pictured were Jim Fischer, Mark Brandihoff, Jamey Wisher and

YWCA EPA
(Continued from page 1)
Environmental Protection Agency data shows that
the nations power plants have reduced carbon diox-
ide emissions by nearly 13 percent since 2005, or
about halfway to the goal the administration will set
Monday. But with coal-fired power plants already
beleaguered by cheap natural gas prices and other
environmental regulations, experts on Sunday said
getting there wont be easy. The EPA is expected to
offer a range of options to states to meet targets that
will based on where they get their electricity and how
much carbon dioxide they emit in the process.
While some states will be allowed to emit more
and others less, overall the reduction will be 30 per-
cent nationwide.
(Continued from page 1)
I was able to see the injustice
that people go through because
they are disabled, continued
Branham. I was immediately
hooked. I decided then that I
wanted to be there to advocate
for them.
Branham, a graduate of
Lincolnview High School,
attended the University of Dayton
where she majored in psychology
and special education. Following
college, she worked for 20 years
with people with developmen-
tal disabilities in the Fort Wayne
area. For 19 of those years, she
was employed by Rescare, where
she began working as a direct
trainer. When she decided to take
a break from the intense situa-
tions that she encountered, she
had become the companys pro-
gram director.
However, that respite didnt
last long. Two weeks later, she
started looking for a new posi-
tion.
My mom kept her eye open
for me, said Branham. She saw
an ad for the position of executive
director for the Van Wert YWCA.
It sounded good to me; the only
thing that concerned me was the
fact that they listed grant writing
as a positive for the job and I had
never written a grant.
Even though I didnt have
grant writing experience, I
applied for the job. Three inter-
views later, I got the job, contin-
ued Branham. Since then, Ive
had hands on experience to do
grant writing.
These days, Branham is focus-
ing on two main priorities in life;
an upcoming marriage to Wayne
Cripps and organizing the sum-
mer food program at the YWCA
for children in the area.
This years summer food pro-
gram starts June 16; any child
between the ages of 4-18 years
can receive free breakfasts and
lunches Monday through Friday.
Children ages 4-15 can then par-
