KALIDA Jennifer A.
Edelbrock, Kalida, has pled
guilty in Putnam County for
embezzling money from the
Kalida Band Boosters.
A bill of information was
filed against Edelbrock late
last week charging her with
taking $17,250 owned by the
Kalida Band Boosters without their consent. Putnam
County Prosecutor Gary
Lammers said Edelbrock
was in a designated position
of authority to handle the
funds when the money was
taken.
After meeting with her
counsel, Lammers said
Edelbrock on Monday pled
guilty to a charge of grand
theft, a felony of the 4th
degree, which carries with it
a maximum 18 month prison sentence and a $5,000
fine.
In a deal struck with the
Edelbrock
Putnam County Prosecutors
office, Edelbrock has the
opportunity to avoid a prison sentence provided she
makes full restitution to
the Kalida Band Boosters
within 30 days. If she does,
Lammers said he will recommend community control,
which includes a wide variety of residential, non-residential and financial options
used in criminal sentencing,
including traditional probation supervision.

Village passes junk ordinance

BY STEVEN COBURN-GRIFFIS
DHI Media Staff Writer
sgriffis@delphosherald.com
OTTOVILLE Emotions ran high
Monday night as members of the Ottoville
Village Council heard and ultimately passed an
ordinance affecting appearances in the village.
Council listened to the third and final reading of an ordinance to control junk and/or
inoperable vehicles, which establishes a definition of junk vehicles and how the village may
legally respond to such an offense. After the
reading, but before the vote, Mayor Ron Miller
opened the meeting to discussion from the floor,
addressing village resident Matt Fiedler directly.
Matt? You got something to say? Miller
asked.
You know I do, Fiedler responded.This
is a BS ordinance. It all started because of me.
Thats why Im fighting this so hard.
Fiedler then proceeded to raise issues with
specific aspects of the ordinance, which imposes various levels of misdemeanor charges
minor misdemeanor for a first offense; third
degree misdemeanor for a second; and first
degree for a third for violations of the ordinance. He took particular note of the phrase
any vehicle not capable of legal operation,
which includes, as the ordinance states, improper or inadequate licensing.
My whole gripe goes back to the license
plate thing, he said. The State of Ohio doesnt
require me to keep a plate on it, but you do.
Thats not right.

Fiedler also took council to task for provisions within the ordinance that allow exceptions
for businesses, potentially holding them to a
different, lower standard than residents.
Matt, we just want a little common sense,
Councilor Carl Byrne replied, reiterating an
appeal made at previous meetings.
With Councilor Darren Leis absent, council
then voted four to one to approve passage of the
ordinance. Joe Morenos was the one dissenting
voice.
Why not create an ordinance that says no
blue shutters, Fiedler commented. Its the
same damn thing.
After asking, Fiedler was advised that the
ordinance will go into effect on August 6.
I need to know, Fiedler said. Ill have
(Chief of Police Jay Herick) on my doorstep
because Ill be the first one.
Council also met with trustees from
Monterey Township. The trustees proposed
continuing to support the Ottoville branch of
the Putnam County District Library at a rate of
$1,400 for the year. The trustees also proposed
that the township assume a two-thirds financial
responsibility for the sealing of blacktop around
the library. While still investigating options, the
trustees presented council with two estimates
for the work which were virtually the same at
$825 and $850, respectively. Council agreed to
both proposals.

Tax holiday to benefit back-to-school shoppers

BY ERIN COX
news@delphosherald.com
COLUMBUS Back-to-school shoppers may want to consider planning a trip to the store on August 7 through 9 during Ohios
first ever state tax holiday.
The Ohio Tax Holiday allows consumers in Ohio to buy school

supplies, instructional material, clothing, and footwear without
paying the sales tax.
Ohio Council of Retail Merchants President and CEO Gordon
Gough expects families and students to take full advantage of the
tax break and stock up on back-to-school items.
Taking an additional seven percent off one notebook might not
seem like much, but when youre spending hundreds of dollars on

everything from diapers and shoes to books and school supplies,
the savings add up big, Gough said in a statement. Nationwide,
consumers are expected to spend more than $68 billion for back-toschool items. This is a significant annual event for Ohio families.

Local/State
Open forums on fate
of WBGU announced
BOWLING GREEN The Board of
Trustees at Bowling Green State University
has announced a series of public forums
regarding the potential sale of the spectrum
occupied by the universitys public television
station, WBGU.
In an effort to free up bandwidth to
meet a growing demand
from wireless providers, the
Federal
Communications
Commission, in May of last
year, established the general
rules for an incentive auction
that, according to the FCC,
will marry the economics of
wireless providers demand
for spectrum with the economics of television broadcasters
That BGSU was considering taking part in the auction
was made public earlier this
year in a barrage of media
reports from virtually all local
media outlets. At that time, David Kielmeyer,
BGSUs interim chief communications officer, reported that the FCCs valuation of the
WBGU spectrum is roughly $40 million.
Under the terms of the auction, BGSUs
trustees have four options, as outlined by
Kielmeyer:
Decline participation.
Sell the spectrum, but then partner with
an agreeable broadcaster and channel share.
Sell the spectrum and then move the
WBGU signal from the UHF to the VHF
spectrum at a cost of anywhere between 33
and 80 percent of the proceeds from the sale.
Sell the spectrum and go black; cease
broadcasting and abandon WBGU in its
entirety.
It is this final option that of shutting down the regions Public Broadcasting
System provider station that has generated
no small amount of concern among local
educators, governmental administrators and
fans of such PBS offerings as Downton Abbey
and Sesame Street. Last week, in a concerted
effort to sway the trustees away from simply
turning off the lights, the mayors of Lima,
Findlay and Bowling Green co-authored a letter suporting their preference for a continued
PBS presence in the region. The letter also
expressed frustration at what was described
as an impasse in direct communications
with Kielmeyer and BGSU President Mary
Ellen Mazey.
As elected officials for communities in
NW Ohio, we fully understand the economic
pressures created for public entities cities
and universities and others by decisions
being made by the Governor and Ohio legislature, the letter states. These negative decisions affecting local government funds and
higher education resources are causing all of
us to shrink our costs and sometimes services
in order to balance our budgets. While we do
not object to the sale analysis
for portions of the spectrum,
we absolutely believe that
consideration of a full sale and
the shut-down of WBGU are
not in the Universitys nor in
the regions fundamental long
term interests. The damage
that such a sale would do to
our communities, the region
as a whole, and the University
is serious and irreparable.
In order to avoid any sort
of escalating tensions and
related consequences, we are
posing the same request to
the Board as that which was
posed to Dr. Mazey: Please amend your resolution now, as we sincerely hope that you
will not consider the option of going dark
because of the serious detrimental impacts
on the region. The other three options, in our
view and in one fashion or another, would
continue to benefit the University, the region
and the State of Ohio.
In addition, the administrations of the
three cities issued an open letter to all BGSU
alumni requesting their support in their effort.
The letter, available on each citys website,
provides email addresses for Mazey and Dr.
Patrick Pauken, board of trustees secretary.
We ask that you engage immediately to
prevent WBGU from going dark, the letter
reads. The communities of our region have
been well served by WBGU public broadcasting services for over 50 years. The potential
that we would lose this service permanently
represents an enormous loss to the quality of
life of more than 2 million persons.
For their part, the board of trustees welcomes input at any one of the three public
forums:
July 29 at 7 p.m. in Findlay at Owens
Community College, Community Wellness
Building.
August 3 at 7 p.m. in Lima at Rhodes
State College, Keese Hall.
Bowling Green, late August, date, time
and place to be determined.
Elida Council discusses phone protocol

BY STEVEN
COBURN-GRIFFIS
ELIDA Residents
concerns were at the top of
the agenda when the Elida
Village Council met Tuesday.
Councilor
Mike
Siebenoler queried the village
administration as to how the
village handles phone calls
and complaints. He raised
the issue after receiving two
complaints as to issues related to, and a perceived slow
response from, village personnel.
Both said theyd called
the village and no one
returned their calls, he
explained. Do we have a
protocol in place?
Both Mayor Kim Hardy
and Village Administrator
Dave Metzger fielded the
question. Hardy explained
that when calls are received,
messages are written down
and the notes conveyed to the
appropriate individual. When

the questions are of a more
generic nature, the calls are
relayed to the supervisor of
the most likely department.
For his part, Metzger
assured Siebenoler that all
calls of which hes been
made aware receive a
response whenever possible.
Frequently, he said, callers
simply fail to leave a name
or number to which he can
respond or they arent available to take the call.
If someone leaves a
name and number, I go into
the utmost detail to return
those calls, he said. If they
dont he shrugged and left
the sentence hanging.
Metzger acknowledged
that another possible problem
is the amount of time the
village provides residents to
address issues. He reported
that, whenever a resident or
property owner is advised of
an issue, they then have 15
days to correct the problem.
Not everybody is aware
of that, Metzger said.

Metzger further reported
that while the village does
pay for the use of his cell
phone, it is his personal cell
phone and he does not provide that number to the public. When he calls, his number is blocked from view.
Council also heard the
second reading of a resolution adopting the villages
2040 Comprehensive Plan,
then met in executive session
to discuss matters related to
the hiring of personnel.
The next regular meeting
of the Elida Village council
is scheduled to take place on
August 11 at 7:30 p.m.

OHSAA awards $54,200 in college scholarships

COLUMBUS The Ohio High

School Athletic Association will hand
out $54,200 in college scholarships to
48 recent high school graduates following selections made by each of the
OHSAAs six District Athletic Boards.
The OHSAAs annual college scholarship program is now in its 23rd year.
Of the 48 honorees, 41 will receive
$1,000 awards, including six (one
from each district) who will receive
an OHSAA Minority Scholarship. The
highest ranking scholarship recipient
in each district will receive a $2,000
OHSAA Spirit of Sport scholarship (a
tie in one district resulted in both graduates receiving $1,600).

The point system used in each district
is described below. Nike and Molten
have also contributed to the OHSAA
scholarship program.
In addition to being excellent students and athletes, these 48 young people have been leaders in their schools
and in their communities, said OHSAA
Commissioner Dr. Dan Ross. They
truly represent what it means to be a
student-athlete. Their futures are very
bright and their families, teachers and

coaches are to be commended for helping guide them to great high school
careers and now on to college. The
OHSAA is very proud of all of them.
More About the Scholar-Athlete
Selection Process
Scholar-athlete recipients are selected based on a point system which
rewards students for grade point averages; class rank; ACT or SAT scores;
varsity letters earned; and individual
and team athletic honors. The number of
scholarship recipients from each district
are based upon the number of schools
within the district. The recipients were
selected by special committees within each of the OHSAAs six
athletic districts. Individuals
who receive athletic scholarships from NCAA Division I
or II institutions or appointees
to military academies are not
eligible for an award.

I am referring to the DeflateGate decision of whether NFL

Commissioner Roger Goodell would uphold his 4-game suspension of the New England Patriot quarterback for his role in
that post-American Football Conference title game/pre-Super
Bowl fiasco.
I actually was going to write about this very topic this week,
wondering why it was taking so long for the Commish to make
his decision.
Was there some give-and-take horse-trading behind the
scenes going on?
Was Mr. Goodell simply wanting to make sure he had all his
ducks in a row all the evidence he needed for and against
Mr. Brady before he decided to uphold that suspension?
After all, with all the controversy that has seemed to dog
the commish since his taking over of the office domestic
violence, child abuse, concussions his stature has taken a
hint, if the actual game of football hasnt.
In his defense, the controversial actions didnt start with
him but years of overlooking and potentially covering up finally hit the fan with him at the helm.
It would have happened no matter who
Jim Metcalfe
filled the office.
He knows that
he has to walk a
sometimes fine line
between not coming
down hard enough
on bad behavior versus coming down too
hard.
After all, the commissioners role is to uphold the integrity
of the game.
I dont pretend to know about all the legal ramifications and
wrangling when it comes to the process that this involved
but seems to me that Mr. Bradys actions destroying the
cell phone were mighty suspicious (can we really believe
he thought the Wells investigation that had no real power
but concluded he likely was a cheat was the end of the
process and that cell phone was going to be asked for?) and
all but made it impossible for Goodell to arrive at any other
conclusion.
And of course his rep would claim that the appeal process
was a sham I suppose any agent/lawyers/representative in
this case would do the same but it was an appeal process
that his own client and the rest of the NFL players agreed to
give him in the last collective bargaining agreement.
Call it buyers remorse but you are reaping what you sowed
and you are reaping handsome rewards as well.
Does it mean that this is over by any means?
Perish the thought.
The Brady camp will, of course, sue the league and Mr.
Goodell and his suspension will be put on hold until the case
is resolved with all the motions, countermotions, caterwauling, stonewalling, stone masonry, casting of stones, crying to
the media, etc., etc., etc., will probably be sometime around
2020, when Brady is long gone.
By then, he will likely admit he did it and accept his
suspension!
Oy vay!
We knew not if but when.
I am referring to the beginning of the restructuring of the
Cincinnati Reds with the trade of ace and Cy Young-caliber
starter Johnny Cueto to the Kansas City Royals for three
minor-league prospects.
The Reds received left-handers Brandon Finnegan, John
Lamb and Cody Reed in exchange plus are sending moolah
to the Royals to help pay for Cuetos salary.
We all knew it was going to happen; we just had to hope
that GM Walt Jockety would get good value in the trade and
that those prospects would quickly develop into bona fide
major-leaguers sooner rather than later, if at all.
The idea of waiting years and years to develop players is
fast going the way of the dinosaur.
It seems theres too much pressure and money to have a
long-term plan of more than a year or two at most, three.

When the other shoe(s)

drop: trades of starter Mike
Leake, intimidating and profusely-sweating closer Aroldis
Chapman and everyday players like Jay Bruce, Joey Votto
(less likely because of his salary) and others; will be in a
matter of days.
Again, you hope that
Jockety and his scouting staff
have done their homework
and their analytics and all the
other mumbo-jumbo that the
game has become and will
get maximum value.
We fans dont want to go
through another drought like
we did a few years back when
spring training hope sprang
eternal until the first of
June!
However, the other angle
in all of this is when will manager Bryan Price be canned?
Even though the injuries
are not his fault and the Reds
did trade away some pieces
like Mat Latos and others, its
the manager that is easiest to
let go when a team underperforms.
Lets face it: some of the
players we thought would be
All-Stars arent.

Barts Big Brain Turns Blue
A history of potential events as chronicled by Steven Coburn-Griffis

Chapter One
Friday, March 16, 2018
Chapter Two
Friday, March 16, 2018
The students in Ms. Raczkowskis 7th

Grade Earth Sciences class at Gateway Middle
School werent themselves. They were quiet.
They were attentive. They were focused. That
is not to say that these were bad kids, troublemaking kids, just that they were kids: twitchy,
jittery, chatty, ready to jump and dance and
play kids with bodies that all too often outran
their brains. But not on this particular day.
Each sat up straight in his or her Smartt
chair, their faces awash in the glow from
their Smartt desks, eyes firmly fixed on the
big Smartt screen at the front of the room. If
asked for an example of anticipation, every
Smartt desk in the school would have burned
with a picture of Ms. Raczkowskis 7th Grade
Earth Sciences classroom as it was at that very
moment.
Clearly, this was unusual, but it was an
unusual day. You just had to look at the way
the big Smartt screen at the front of the room
was bubbling a silvery blue to know that.
A soft chime sounded and an image of a
turning Earth filled the big Smartt screen that
covered most of the front wall. The round ball
of Earth was blue and green and brown and
white and it spun against a black backdrop
of space. As it continued to turn, a familiar
voice began talking to anyone and everyone
listening.
Earth, the voice said, and then paused
for dramatic effect. During that pause, every
single boy and every single girl sitting at
every single Smartt desk in Ms. Raczkowskis
classroom felt the tickling itch of that familiar
voice and asked themselves, Who? Who is
that? I know that voice; know it almost as well
as my own.
Earth, the voice continued, is a wonder,
a unique and radiant jewel travelling in its
elliptical path around the sun. In the whole of
our solar system, from Mercury to Neptune,
there is no other planet like Earth.
On the Smartt screen, the Earth stopped
spinning and began to blur, distorting in form
from the round sphere of planet Earth to
something quite a bit more oval in shape.
And what is it that makes Earth so special? So rare? So blue?
The blurred blob on the screen continued to
change shape, gaining definition and becoming clearer and clearer until it had morphed
into the face of a man. And not just any man,
but a man who was very familiar to the kids in
Ms. Raczkowskis 7th Grade Earth Sciences
class: Bart Butterman, host and quizmaster of
the game show Bart :S Big Brain, filmed right
Yes indeed, Bart Butterman said through

his grin, Plain old water. Two parts hydrogen
to one part oxygen.
As Bart Butterman talked, more and more
of him came into view, including the patented
Bart Butterman Smartt tie. It worked just like
a Smartt screen, but it was a tie. Anybody
watching that tie closely enough would see
all manner of interesting things appear and
then disappear again: mathematical equations, quotes from famous philosophers and
even pictures of inventions, like Leonardo da
Vincis flying machine or some really strange
Rube Goldberg devices.
Even while the kids were focused on Bart
Buttermans Smartt tie, they began to hear a
new sound; a chuckling, happy, liquid sort
of sound. On the screen, Bart Butterman was
pouring water from a clear glass pitcher into a
crystal-clear glass. He took a sip, smacked his
lips and then looked serious.
But I misspoke; theres nothing plain
about water, he said. Water has changed
lives. Blind and deaf, Helen Kellers first
understanding of the world was through
water. Many religions, including Christianity
and Islam, draw a comparison between water
and life. And then there is the simple truth that
over half of the human body, what makes up
the greater part of all of us, is water.
Water has inspired poets and painters, artists like William Shakespeare and
Carl Sandburg, Claude Monet and Winslow
Homer. And water has held an important
place in music, giving musicians something
to write about, to sing about, whether its in
opera, rock or rap. Call Beyonce and ask her.
Im pretty sure Ive got her cell number here
somewhere.
With his one free hand, Bart Butterman
patted at his jacket pockets, then shrugged and
grinned his famous grin.
As the students in Ms. Raczkowskis 7th
Grade Earth Sciences class watched, the camera continued to pull back until it was clear
that Bart Butterman was standing out in the
open in front of a large, circular pool. Beside
him was a small round table and as he set
his glass down on its surface, a tremendous
jet of water erupted from the center of the
pool behind him. Bart Butterman jumped and
pretended to look startled before grinning and
talking some more.
Water covers 71 percent, nearly
three-quarters of the surface of planet Earth,
he said. But most of that is salt water, water
we cant drink unless it has gone through a
process to remove the salt, a process called
desalinization. In fact, there is really very
little fresh water on the planet at all; less than
four percent. And some of that is underground
or frozen in glaciers.
Bart Butterman raised the glass to his lips
to take a sip, but the glass was empty. He
tapped the glass with his forefinger, turned it
upside down and then rubbed his lips.
So that raises the question, Should we do
more to keep our fresh water safe? And,
Chapter One questions

I. Why do you think the word smart is
spelled with two letter ts in the story? Can you
think of other brand names that are deliberately misspelled?
2. Current classroom technology includes
smartphones and smartboards. In Ms.
Raczkowskis classroom three years from
now, students sit in Smartt chairs at Smartt
desks. Use your imagination to decide what
these chairs and desks can do and how they
might help you learn.
3. Look at a globe and a map of the United
States. Using the scale of distance, how far
are you from a large body of water (something
bigger than the nearest reservoir).

possibly more importantly, what can we do?

Is it already too late? I mean, like Benjamin
Franklin said, When the wells dry, we know
the worth of water. Is that where we are now,
why were even asking these questions?
Chapter Two questions
1. Bart Butterman said that water is two
parts hydrogen to one part oxygen. On the
periodic table of elements, the chemical symbol for water is H20. In chemistry, an element is a substance that cannot be separated
into simpler substances by chemical means.
Locate a copy of the the periodic table of
elements online. Look at the list and see how
many of them you recognize from foods or
somewhere at home. For instance, what foods
contain calcium?
2. Bart Buttermans Smartt tie, a device that
may be invented in the future, showed pictures of Leonardo da Vincis flying machine.
Da Vinci sketched his flying machine in the
15th century. It looked a lot like a modern-day
helicopter, the first of which was built in the
1940s. Think of three devices that we use
every day and research them. Did any of them
originate with a very old idea?
3. How much of you is water? Why is
getting enough water important to you? What
can you do each day to keep our water safe?

Bart Butterman was grinning his famous
grin, his face filled the big Smartt screen from
top to bottom and side to side.
So, do you know? Bart Butterman asked.
Do you know what makes Earth extraordinary? He paused for just a beat and
although if you had asked anybody watching
Bart Butterman in that classroom, they would
have said it was impossible his grin grew
even bigger.

Movie Review
"The Straight Dope"
Terminator
Across
1 1983 Mr. T film
Directed by Alan Taylor

PG-13
Ill be back, Arnold

Schwarzeneggers
cyborg
promised in the original Terminator, back in 1984. And
now Ah-nold, THE Terminator, is indeed back, and hes the
biggest, baddest and best thing
in the new reboot of the iconic
sci-fi franchise.
That Terminator
envisioned a near future in a ruined, post-apocalyptic world
run by artificially intelligent
machines battled by a hearty
group of human resistance
fighters. Schwarzenegger was
cast in his first blockbuster
role as a virtually unstoppable assassin terminator sent
back in time to kill the mother
of the child who would grow
up to be John Conner, the fiery
leader of the resistance, before
he was conceived, ensuring
the opposition could never
take root.
Three sequels and a TV
spinoff played off that premise. And now, 31 years later,
Terminator Genysis backs up
and takes another run at it.
This time around, rebel
leader John Conner (Jason
Clarke) zaps his young protg
Kyle Reese (Jai Courtney)
into the past to intercept and
destroy the terminator thats
already there, programmed to
kill his mother. British actress
Emilia Clarke (dragon mistress Daenerys Taegaryen in
TVs Game of Thrones) does
a commendable job as the
young firebrand Sarah Connor.
But the big bang here is the
return of the former two-term
governor of California, with a
now-familiar terminator twist:

the characters seem to know
what theyre doing and where
theyre going, because not
only did I get lost, I lost my
patience trying to sort through
all the bangs, bams, crams and

clangs of previous Terminator
movies ringing in my ears and
through the years.
For all its motion and commotion, however, nothing can
compete with Schwarzeneggers iconic star power, even
when hes standing still and not
saying a word. The 67-year-old
actor seems to be having a ball
back in the swing and stride of
his venerable trademark character. Theres even a running
joke about the mileage on his
terminators odometer. Im
old, not obsolete, he says.
Too bad the rest of this
time-crunching, overstuffed,
underwhelming Terminator installment doesnt quite feel like
its aged nearly so gracefully.

and decay algorithms, try to
shut down a cloud-like operating system that will eventually quash all living things,

The benefits and risks of cloud computing

Its been nearly a decade since Google

CEO Eric Schmidt talked about cloud computing at an industry conference in 2006.
Even then, the concept of network-based
computing was nothing new; researchers
speculated about the possibility back in the
1960s. Now, the infrastructure exists to make
yesterdays possibility todays common reality, generating business opportunities, as well
as a new spin on some old risks.
In essence, at its best, cloud computing
takes an internal, on-site network and makes
it global, exponentially increasing both data
storage capabilities and networking possibilities. For small and midsize businesses,
the benefits of cloud computing are virtually
infinite. Cloud computing saves businesses
time and money by boosting productivity,
improving collaboration and promoting innovation. Cloud hosting facilitates all types of
information-sharing; email services, application hosting, internet-based phone systems

cloud platform. For all intents and purposes,
a cloud environment serves as a virtual office,
whether thats something as basic as simple
data storage, or as complex as multiple users
sharing a wide range of data and sofware
applications. In a cloud environment, users
can access all openly shared files, use software programs as if sitting at an office workstation and remotely interact with co-workers
on the other side of the country or the world,
collaboratively trouble-shooting emerging
issues in real time.
For start-ups, or even established companies upgrading their IT capabilities, capital

investments; reduce software costs, as well as
the time and cost involved in upgrading apps;

spective, the benefit of staying abreast or

even ahead of the technology curve is readily
apparent, as is maintaining a predictable and
fixed cost on IT expenses. Cloud computing
offers the further benefit of enabling nontraditional work environments, eliminating the
need for extravagant and expensive brick
and mortar office space. The synching of
information across all manner of devices
allows mobile access from laptops and tablets, enabling client meetings in as informal
an environment as the backseat of a cab. At
the same time, this very same user-friendly,
immediate access allows for the implementation of an equally nontraditional work force.
On the downside, all that ready access creates a not insignificant security risk. Turning
over confidential, proprietary information to
a third party provider, cyber attacks, insider
threats, the potential for governmental incursions, as well as any legal liability that may
result from any unintended distribution of
data are all serious concerns. While cloud
providers are diligent in creating new and better security measures as each new cyber risk
crops up, these efforts are by necessity reac-

tionary. And theres always the concern about

the security of data in transmission, as it is
uploaded from a device to where it resides in
a cloud environment. At its most vulnerable,
this is when the security of the data stream is
most easily compromised.
Despite these concerns, surveys commissioned by cloud providers assert that

10 ways to become
financially independent
BY NATHANIEL SILLIN
After the 2008 economic
crisis, many people assumed
they would never be able to
reach true financial independence the ability to live
comfortably off ones savings
and investments with no debt
whatsoever.
However, individuals willing to use their time horizon to plan and adjust their
spending, savings and investment behaviors might just find
financial independence is possible. Here are 10 ideas to get
started.
Nathan Sillin
1. Visualize first, then plan.
Start by considering what your
vision of financial independence actually looks like and then
get a reality check. Qualified financial experts can examine
your current financial circumstances, listen to what financial
independence means to you and help you craft a plan. The
path to financial independence may be considerably different
at age 20 than it is at age 50; the more time you have to save
and invest generally produces a better outcome. But at any age,
start with a realistic picture of your options.
2. Budget. Budgeting the process of tracking income, subtracting expenses and deciding how to divert the difference to
your goals each month is the essential first task of personal
finance. If you havent learned to budget, you need to do so.
3. Spend less than you earn. It might be obvious, but its one
of the most difficult financial behaviors to execute. Adhering
to a lower standard of living and expenses will help you put
more money into savings and investments sooner.
4. Build smarter safety nets. Emergency funds and insurance are rarely discussed in combination. The traditional
definition of an emergency fund is a separate account for cash
that can be used instead of credit to repair a broken appliance
or other expense that may run a few hundred dollars. However,
many people keep insurance deductibles high to keep premiums low. Would you have enough cash on hand to cover an
insurance deductible if you had a sudden claim? If not, build
your deductible amounts into your emergency fund.
5. Eliminate debt. Though consumer debt levels have generally fallen since the 2008 financial crisis, the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York reported in February that home, student
loan, auto and credit card debt began creeping up again in
2014. Getting rid of revolving, non-housing debt is one of the
most effective ways to free up money for savings and investment.
6. Consider your career. Financial independence doesnt
require you to quit a career you love, but you really cant get to
financial independence without steady income to fuel savings
and investments that will build over time. Speak with qualified
advisors about your income, benefits and retirement picture
first, and see if you might be able to expand your sources of
work-related income, such as consulting part time. Also keep
in mind that over the age of 50, the Internal Revenue Service
allows you to make catch-up contributions to both 401(k) and
IRA accounts.

their yards. Insect ecology is affected by various

factors and is not solely dependent on temperature.
Furthermore, what occurred one year certainly may
not be repeated the next, as homeowners who have
had various insect infestations in their yards can attest. One year a yard may be overcome with ants,
while the next year it may suffer through an earwig
infestation.
The first step homeowners looking to curtail insects in their yards can take is to determine if the
insects they see are genuine threats to their lawns.
Some bugs emerge and swarm early in the season,
but then gradually disappear as spring turns into
summer. Other insects may come out of hiding if
a homeowner is doing a lot of yard work or construction around a house. Practice a wait-and-see
approach to determine if you really have an insect
problem or just have stirred up activity.
Homeowners also must decide if it is bearable
living with the insects. If insects are not doing any
damage or if they can be controlled relatively easily, then you might be able to avoid calling in the
professionals. However, if critters like termites and
certain species of wood-eating insects are invasive
and damaging your yard, you may need to take action.
Anyone concerned with the side effects of pesticides and insecticides can first try to remedy the
problem naturally. Sometimes its just a matter of
making a yard less hospitable to insects. Remove
leaves and clean up debris close to the house, as
these can both encourage infestations. Piles of rotting wood or leftover firewood can be a food or
shelter source for a number of insects. Inspect water
spigots for leaks and improve suspect drainage on
your property, as these things can be welcoming to
bugs that like moist surroundings. Remove standing water whenever possible to eliminate spots for

mosquitoes to incubate larvae.

Natural remedies also may do the trick. Mint,
bay leaves, catnip, and garlic can repel insects like
roaches and ants. Citrus can be a natural flea deterrent. Some homeowners have had success planting
marigolds around their yards to serve as a natural
bug repellent because the flowers produce a scent
that many insects find repulsive. Thai lemon grass
plants also can be used to keep mosquitoes at bay.
Remember, natural predators, such as birds,
bats, spiders, and larger insects, feed on nuisance
bugs. Keeping these helpful predators around may
be an effective and natural way for homeowners to
control annoying pests.
If an insect problem seems out of control or if
you need a professional opinion about the damage
being done to your home or landscape, consult with
an exterminator. Licensed exterminators have the
training and expertise to assess insect concerns and
create a plan of action that will minimize the risk to
inhabitants of your home and nearby wildlife. An
exterminator will know what it takes to treat insects
and maximize the chances of removing the problem
promptly and effectively.
Warm weather is synonymous with many
things, including the return of insects. Homeowners
may be able to treat unruly bugs on their own, but
especially problematic infestations may require the
help of experienced exterminators.

Beatles tribute band draws

biggest crowd this year
Hundreds of music lovers packed Stadium Park Sunday evening for the
best-attended concert to-date this summer. A Hard Days Night was the final
July offering of the Delphos Rotary Music in the Park Series. Perfect weather
brought out the record crowd that forced the refreshment stand to restock hot
dogs. Above: The crowd enjoys a minute to stretch while the band takes a break.
Below: Members of A Hard Days Night play to a packed Stadium Park Sunday
evening. Resembling the cover of the Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band
album, the group presented a spot-on version of With a Little Help from My
Friends. The series continues on Aug. 9 with Polly Mae at 6 p.m. and refreshment at 5:30 p.m. (DHI Media/Nancy Spencer)
With 1.1 million children

in Ohios K-12 education system and over 500,000 students
enrolled in Ohio colleges, more
than one in seven Ohioans and
their families can benefit. The
average family with children
in grades K-12 plans to spend
$630 on back-to-school shopping on average, according to
the National Retail Federation.
The average college student
plans to spend $899 on backto-school shopping.
This sales tax holiday benefits all Ohioans, Gough said,
but it has a special appeal to
families getting ready to go
back to school. This is truly
a tax break that every Ohio

consumer can enjoy.
Senate Bill 243, which
was passed last year, exempts
Ohio consumers from paying
sales tax this August 7-9 on
all clothing and footwear up
to $75 per item as well as
school supplies and instructional materials up to $20
per item. There is no limit
on the amount of the total
purchase, it is based on each
item, according to the Ohio
Department of Taxation.
Ohio retailers know that
consumers value every dollar of savings, Gough said.
We applaud State Senator
Kevin Bacon for sponsoring
the legislation and his leader-
ship throughout the legislative

process and Governor John
Kasich for signing the bill into
law.
Bacon introduced the legislation in November 2013 and
Kasich signed the bill into law
in December 2014.
It covers all retailers that
sell these goods to Ohio residents, even online.
These tax holidays have
triggered Black Friday-style
crowds in other states, Gough
said. Consumers love to save
money and we expect Ohioans
to really enjoy this tax break in
August.

Cheer
The Stage will see more than 300 cheerleaders dance, jump and flip their way through routines in four categories: All-Star (mini to senior), Mini, Junior High and High School.
Co-coach Maureen Teman says her girls are ready to welcome the competitors.
Its been a long time since the school had a team and these girls have worked hard and now
they want to host a competition, she said. It will be a great experience for them and well get
to see the competition for upcoming meets.
Teman said the interest in a competitive team resurfaced last year.
We tested the waters with the traditional seasonal cheerleaders and we did really well so the
school board approved a competition squad, Teman said. We are totally self-sufficient. We
hold fundraisers and have parent/guardian support. We dont get any money from the school.
Sixteen girls are under the tutelage of Teman and co-coach Beth Geise. Both are volunteers.
The team has practiced six hours a week since the first week in June.
The girls work hard and we expect them to keep a certain code of conduct, Teman said.
We expect higher standards and a high leadership level from them. They represent themselves
and their school very well.
Upcoming competitions for the freshmen local squad include Lincolnview, the Aulgaize
County Fair, the Ohio State Fair, New Bremem Fest, Pioneer Days, Canal Days, Attica and the
Van Wert County Fair.
Teman said Fridays event should move pretty quickly with a little space in between groups
for uniform changes for those who participate on more than one squad.
Jeffersons team will perform for points and exhibition Friday. Being the hosts, they are not
eligible for trophies.
Guilty
If she does not make restitution within that
time, Lammers said he will recommend 18
months jail time.
My goal is to get this case resolved while
she has assets to make restitution, Lammers
said, commenting that Edelbrocks attorney
has indicated that such a resolution is possible. I want the victim made whole.
The Delphos Police Department and
the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification
and Investigation began an investigation
into Edelbrocks Delphos accounting firm,
Edelbrock-Reitz, after receiving multiple
complaints alleging criminal financial activity. Following a raid on her office on May 19,
Edelbrock was arrested in her Kalida home
on May 29.
As a consequence of BCI&Is ongoing
investigation, Edelbrock was arraigned in
Lima Municipal Court on June 3 on a single

bad check charge. The charge alleges that she

knowingly presented Bowersock Brothers
VFW Post 6772, Spencerville, with a bad
check in the amount of $12,192.82. On July
22, Edelbrock entered a written plea of notguilty on two grand theft charges stemming
from the initial charge. Pretrial on those
charges is scheduled for August 10.
Edelbrock is also named as the principal
defendant in a civil suit filed in Allen County
Common Pleas Court. Toledo attorney James
L. Schuller filed the suit, which seeks over
$1 million in damages, on behalf of James
Niedecken and Niedecken Insurance Agency
(NIA), Ottoville. Two other civil suits filed
earlier this year were settled out of court.
According to a Delphos Police Department
spokesperson, as of Tuesday afternoon, investigators with BCI&I continue to sift through
the records seized from Edelbrocks Fifth
Street, Delphos, office, leaving open the possibility of more criminal indictments.
Independence
Council also briefly discussed

brush and limb pickup within
the village. Moreno brought to
councils attention a complaint
hed received from a resident
regarding a large limb that village
workers failed to pick up in what
the complainant described as a
timely manner. Miller explained
that the village has no responsibility for such, but offers pickup
as a courtesy.
We offer a spot to put that
and we dont even have to do
that, Miller said. If we wanted
to, we could just say that were
not doing this anymore. Period.
Council discussed bringing
the administrations stance on
the subject to residents attention
by posting written advisements
in public places.
In other business, council:
was advised that negotiations pertaining to Dollar Street
are ongoing and that the village received an estimate of
$74,000 for the repaving of
the street. Smith suggested that
more concrete plans to address
any remaining issues should be
available by the next meeting.
agreed to a temporary insurance policy for the duration of
the Ottoville Park Carnival at a

7. Downsize. Youll generally reach wealth financial goals

faster if you can cut your overall living expenses. For some,
that means selling your home and moving to a smaller one or
to an area with lower living costs and taxes. You can also sell
or donate property you dont need and use those proceeds to
extinguish debt or add to savings or investments.
8. Invest frugally. Become a student of investment fees
and commissions because they can cut significantly into your
principal. Make a full evaluation of fees you are paying on
every investment account you have and if youre working with
a licensed professional who sells you financial products, know
what fees theyre charging for their investment and advisory
services.
9. Buy assets that generate income. Stocks, real estate, collectibles or cash investments all have up and down markets.
But do your homework and focus on investments bought at
attractive prices that are likely to appreciate over time. Also,
dont forget to study the tax ramifications of any investment
transaction you make.
10. Always know where you are financially. Financial
planning isnt about making one set of financial decisions and
assuming youre set. Lives and situations change and your
financial planning must be flexible enough to withstand both
positive and negative changes without derailing your hopes for
financial independence. If your forte is not investment, financial planning or tax matters, by all means bring in qualified
experts to help. But financially independent people generally
have their money issues at their fingertips not only for their
own use, but for estate purposes as well.
Bottom line: Financial independence involves diligence
and a bit of sacrifice, but even the smallest moves can yield
big outcomes.
