Safety service director answers questions

BY NANCY SPENCER
DHI Media Editor
nspencer@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS With a light agenda in

front of them, Delphos City Council made
quick work of the first meeting in September
Tuesday evening.
Safety Service Director Shane Coleman
addressed several issues put forth in a letter to
council from resident Mary Lou Wrocklage.
Wrocklage wrote three questions to be
presented, including: why residents have to
submit, in writing, any questions for council;
what has been done to repair the leak/hole
in the reservoir; and what has been done to

address the issue of garbage collection being
done in a prompt manner and on the day of
collection.
I cant comment on the first questions
because Im not on council but as to the second question, Mayor Gallmeier and I have
researched this supposed leak in the reservoir
and dont know why this keeps coming up,
Coleman said. We have a camera in the
overflow and have had it there for a year and
we dont see anything unusual. We will check
more carefully once the elevation goes down
but that could be a while. We keep getting
more rain.
Coleman also addressed the refuse collection issue.

We have had numerous complaints about
the garbage and we have talked to Allen
County Refuse, he said. They have two new
drivers who they say lack proper training and
will be retraining them and sending a third
driver until further notice.
Council did not address Wrocklages first
question about procedures for speaking to
council.
Coleman also noted chipping and sealing
will begin today on North Main Street, hydrant
flushing will begin next week and a date of
Sept. 21 has been set for Fibracast Limited
to come in and start retrofitting for the new

technology.
The new membrane technology takes up
about a third of the space and will allow the
plant to move up to full capacity without
installing any new trains, which hold the
membranes.
Fibracasts proposal includes new blowers,
new permeate pumps and a one-train pilot for
a year with the $600,000 payment of the $1.5
million for the equipment delayed one year.
They will also provide an on-site staff member
for one year during the pilot study.

Wilson brings home championship titles

Delphos FFA member Sophia Wilson brought the Grand Champion Beef Feeder Calf to the Van Wert County Fair. Wilson also won Senior Beef Showmanship and showed the Grand Champion Market Lamb out
of all sheep shown. She also exhibited the Reserve Champion Middleweight and Champion Heavyweight
Market Lamb and was named the Champion of Champion Sheep Showman and went on to win Champion
Showman of Showmen. (Submitted photo)
ELIDA The council of the Village of Elida determined on Tuesday that the village will get a new truck.
Just what that truck will cost, however, is up in the air.
Village Administrator David Metzger addressed council and expressed the need to have three separate pieces
of legislation passed on emergency, all of which pertained
to the purchase of a new 2015 or 2016 depending on
availability GMC Sierra 2500 work truck. The first
resolution, as drawn up by Village Solicitor Austin Klaus,
allowed for the purchase of the truck while the remaining
two resolutions pertained to equipping the truck with
work boxes and lights.
When presented with each separate resolution, all five
present members of council Councilor Rhonda McCoy
was absent approved each on an emergency basis,
allowing their passage on a single reading.
On the face of it, this is nothing particularly unusual.
Resolutions and ordinances are, in the course of business,
passed on a single reading, if not frequently, then with
regularity. Its a practice that circumvents public participation, but, generally due to time constraints, it is an
allowable practice under Ohio Revised Code.
In this particular instance, however, council, on a single reading, approved the purchase of a significant piece
of equipment without full knowledge of its cost.
After the meetings adjournment, Mayor Kim Hardy
was asked about the cost of the truck. The question was
redirected to Metzger, who, when asked if he could
provide a total, simply replied, No. After several
moments, Metzger then ballparked, Itll be right around
$55,000.

What color is your water?

This is the final installment of the threepart series.

PUTNAM COUNTY The open
waters of Lake Erie are a little less of a
scary blue-green this week as the microcystis cyanobacteria bloom west of West Sister
Island is producing less toxic microsystin.
However scum areas produced by blooms
remain a significant risk to boaters and the
creatures that live there. And the harmful
algal bloom (HAB) in Grand Lake St.
Marys still has residents and recreaters
seeing red due to a recreational no-contact
advisory.
Although some speculate that this is the
new norm on Grand Lake, scientists, officials and members of the Ohio agricultural
industry havent given up that water bodys
ghost. And the fishing and tourism industries, plus the 12 million people who live
in the Lake Erie watershed (11 million of
whom get their drinking water from Lake
Erie itself), are arming themselves for the
battle against the bloom, or at least a fight
that will keep the health of the shallowest
Great Lake from collapsing altogether.
This spring, the National Centers for
Coastal Ocean Science and Great Lakes

Environmental Research Laboratory began
arming the general populace with what it
has learned since blue-green algae became
a growing concern in the 1990s. Although
the Ohio Department of Natural Resources,
Ohio Department of Health and Ohio
Environmental Protection Agency have for
several years posted consumption and get
off the beach advisories, in April 2015, the
Lake Erie Harmful Algal Bloom Bulletin
compiled data collected by the National
Water Quality Laboratory at Heidelberg
University to predict the likelihood of HAB.
When heavy rains in June flushed fields in
what is referred to as nutrient loading, the
predictions quickly changed from if to
when and where HAB would be.
At Ohio State Universitys Stone
Laboratory on Gilbratar Island, research is
conducted during the summer months by
people like Dr. Justin Chaffin, Research
Coordinator, Ohio Sea Grant and OSU
Stone Lab. Chaffin recorded Christmas
in July: this years highest level of microcystis cyanobacteria off Stones Lab docks
which faces the popular tourist destination,
Put-in-Bay. The facility is also currently
hosting studies on invasive species and
alternative energy.

COLUMBUS An unprecedented coalition of Ohio water

stakeholders has issued its strategic plan for maintaining and
strengthening the states water resources. The Healthy Water
Ohio (HwO) coalitions recommendations aim to preserve
Ohios valuable water assets for those who rely on them for
consumption, recreation, food production and commerce.
The HwO plan identifies specific needs in the areas of
policy, research, infrastructure and education. It also proposes
the creation of a public-private Ohio Water Trust, funded at
$250 million annually to help enact the plans recommendations. A portion of the trust funding would be accrued
through the sale of state bonds. The full report is available at
HealthyWaterOhio.org.
The Healthy Water Ohio coalition received input from
more than 200 individuals and organizations with diversified
interests in Ohio water. Its 16-member steering committee
represents conservation, business, universities, water suppliers, agriculture, human health and others. Over its 21 month
effort, the coalition hosted dozens of fact finding events
and discussion meetings, heard from subject matter experts,
engaged with government leaders and collected public input
via a statewide survey of more than 1,000 Ohio citizens.
The reports policy plan emphasizes the value of Ohios
existing watershed districts and recommends voluntary water
quality and quantity management practices, encourages incentives and collaboration, calls for equitable and reasonable
regulations and advocates for improved coordination among
government agencies.
The HwO plans research proposals include identifying
knowledge gaps, establishing a formal Ohio water research

group and improving coordination of research data.
The coalition agreed that significant financial resources
will be needed to sustainably meet current and future water
needs and enhance the states economy and quality of life. The
proposed Ohio Water Trust would be governed by a diverse
stakeholder board, which will identify and support projects
that will improve water quality, reduce stormwater and other
flooding, enhance agricultural nutrient management, reduce
drainage maintenance and dredging costs, assist voluntary
regulatory compliance and enhance habitat and recreational
use while meeting other societal values. The projected $250
million in annual funding could come from water quality
trades, agriculture and business funding, government bond
sales, water user fees, a portion of boating and fishing license
fees, philanthropic contributions and other sources.
With its strategic plan released, the Healthy Water Ohio
coalition now intends to prioritize and pursue its recommendations. The group estimates many parts of the plan will take
decades to accomplish while others can begin immediately.

Lady Wildcats pummel Panthers Now its the NFLs
Jeffersons Abby Parkins beats Pauldings Kalyn Strahley to the ball Tuesday night at the
St. Johns Annex, while Panther teammate Daleigh Davis hustles in to help. (DHI Media/

BY JIM METCALFE

jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS Jeffersons
girls soccer team had its way
with Paulding Tuesday night.
The Lady Wildcats hammered the first-year varsity
Panthers 14-0 in Northwest
Conference action at the St.
Johns Annex.
The domination was so
clear in the statistics: the
Lady Wildcats (5-0-0, 1-0-0
NWC) out-shot their foe
(1-4-0, 0-1-0 NWC) 34-4,
including 29-3 on-goal.
We were in their shoes
about three years ago about
struggling to put a program
together, though they are in
their first year. Its going to
take time for them to get
there, Jefferson coach Josiah
Stober acknowledged. Still,
we try not to think about who
our opponent is, no matter
what. We have the way we
want to play the game and
we know we need to keep
improving to get where we
want to be. We started out
passing and moving and all
those things we work on diligently. We got girls a lot
of playing time in different
spots because we want a versatile group that can play soc-
cer no matter what position

they are in.
For Paulding coach Sam
Rue, he knows what he is
in for.
This being our first year
and being junior varsity the
last two seasons, thats a big
jump to make for every girl
we have, he added. Its
a whole different ballgame
from JV to varsity, with the
speed of the game and physicality. One thing we need
to be is more aggressive to
the ball and going to get it.
Were learning the game at
this level and its not going to
happen overnight.
The Red and White wasted little time in fact, 22
ticks to get on the board
as Maddie McConnahea fed
Arianne Knebel a duo that
would bedevil Paulding all
night long (or as long as they
were up front) for a run down
the middle and her 10-yarder
on the left post found the
right side of the twine past
Paulding keeper Morrisa Rue
(12 saves).
Just 30 ticks later, Knebel
scored from the same spot,
just on the right side, for a
2-0 lead.
The hosts kept attacking
with regularity even as
it became increasingly clear
who was superior and Stober

began to move players around
into different spots.
The Panthers did have a
couple of tries against senior
keeper Jessica Pimpas but
she denied a 20-yarder by
Hannah Vance at 37:50 and
Tori Bradfords 20-yarder
was stopped at 18:50.
It became 3-0 at 33:55 as
Knebel got a run down the
left side and her 10-yarder
from the wing was deflected
right back to her by a defender; her 8-yarder was true to
the right side.
At
28:59,
Kenzie
Hammons fed Knebel for a
clear run down the middle
and her 8-yarder went right
side for 4-0.
It became 5-0 just 33 ticks
later as Knebel did the work
and her 6-yarder found the
right side of the net.
That score stood until
11:35 when McConnahea
hit a 1-touch quick pass to
Knebel just outside the top
of the arc and Knebel was
1-on-1 with the keeper; her
8-yarder from the middle to
the right side made it 6-0.
At 9:13, Paulding had
its last real shot on goal as
Christine Clapsaddle tried a
free kick from 28 yards but
Logan Hamilton knocked it
away.
At 8:22, off a scramble in
front of the net, McConnahea
got the control and her
6-yarder was true for a 7-0
score.
At 6:41, Knebel continued
to fire and her 16-yarder from
in front got past the keeper
for 8-0.
With 46 ticks in the half,
McConnahea stole a goal kick
outside the 18 and dribbled it
by defenders; she juked the
keeper and was wide open
from 6 yards from the center
to the left side for 9-0.
With Stober continuing to
try and keep the score from
getting completely out of
hand, other players not used
to scoring got in on the act
the second half.
At
31:25,
Makaya
Dunnings 15-yarder from
the middle got through the
goalies fingertips and into
the net for 10-0.
It became 11-0 at 24:15
when McConnahea crossed
from the right side to the middle for Hammons, who was
true from 12 yards against
the grain.
With
21:32
left,
McConnahea got possession
on the right side, dribbled
through the defense and put
the orb into the net off
the keepers hands to the
opposite side from 12 yards
for 12-0.
With 19:51 remaining,
off a goal kick, Cheyanna
Scirocco got a steal, dribbled
into the box and deposited a
14-yarder for a 13-0 lead.
Mercifully, the final tally
came at 13:19. Off a corner kick from the right side,
Dunnings ball bounced
through the box and found
Tori Redmon on the doorstep
of the left post; she bodied
the ball in for the 14th and
last goal.

Pirates out-gun Lady Lancers on the pitch

BY JIM COX
DHI Media Correspondent
sports@timesbulletin.com
BLUFFTON Bluffton out-gunned
Lincolnview 8-2 in a physical, actionpacked girls soccer game Tuesday night.
Although the Lady Lancers matched
or exceeded the Lady Pirates speed,
Bluffton appeared to get the better of
it on the ball-handling end, the result
being far more shots by the home team.
Bluffton is now 3-2 overall and 2-0 in
the Northwest Conference. Lincolnview
is 1-5 and 1-1.
After only 40 seconds of action
Blufftons Katie Burkholder knocked in
a point-blank one-on-one goal to make
it 1-0, Pirates. Bluffton duplicated that
three more times in the first half
17:17 by Abbie Parkins, 23:45 by Anna
Fredritz, and 29:21 by Averey Rumer
to take a 4-0 lead. After that, though,
things got a lot more interesting.
Twenty-four seconds after Rumers
goal, Lincolnviews Maddie Gorman

eluded the Pirate defense with some
nifty moves and blasted one in from
point-blank range to close the gap to
4-1, which is where it stood at halftime.
With only 44 seconds elapsed in
the second half, the Lancers Autumn
Proctor, the fastest and smallest
player on the field, out-raced everybody
to make it 4-2.
Early in the second half, for the only
time in the game, the ball was in the
visitors end of the pitch as much as it
was in the home teams end. However,
a Lincolnview fumble gave the ball to
Blufftons Brooke Koontz right in front
of the goal, and Koontz rifled it in to
make it 5-2 at 6:56. Parkins second
goal of the game at 9:24 made it 6-2.
Pirate goalkeeper Jadyn Barhorst then
made two spectacular saves, one on a
penalty kick, and the Pirates pretty much
controlled things from that point on.
Parkins completed a hat trick at 29:29,
and Sydney Statons goal at 35:40 ended
the scoring.
Bluffton out-shot Lincolnview 36-15
overall and 18-8 on goal. Barhorst had
five saves. Lincolnview goalies had a
total of 10 saves five in the first half
by Brooke Schroeder and five in the
second half by Maddie Gorman.

Lincolnview nets volleyball sweep of Temple

BY JOHN PARENT
sports@timesbulletin.com
MIDDLE POINT
Lincolnviews volleyball
team swept through three sets
against visiting Lima Temple
Christian on Tuesday, winning 25-21, 25-18 and 25-14.
Sounds easy. It wasnt.
The Pioneers jumped out
to early leads in all three
sets, leading by as many as
six in the first and second
sets and holding a four-point
edge twice in the finale. Each
time, however, the young
Lady Lancers came storming
back to with lengthy runs to
take control.
We like to keep it
interesting, Lancer coach
JaNahn Evans joked following the match.
Though the Pioneers came
into the match without a victory on the season, Temple
led throughout the first half
of the opener, eventually
opening up a 17-11 margin after Evan had burned

through two timeouts trying
to settle her team down.
Our focus tonight was
communication and aggressive play, and thats what we
lacked in that first game,
Evans explained. We
werent communicating, we
werent being aggressive on
the offense, we were tipping.
We cant resort to tipping; if
a spot is open, of course we
want to tip, but I need them
to attack on the ball.
When the Lancer middle
hitters, Kayla Schimmoeller
and Katlyn Wendel began to
fire away with big swings
at the net, Lincolnview
turned its fortunes around.
Schimmoellers blast through
a Temple block knotted the
opening set at 19-19 and she
sealed the win with a kill
from the left side for a 25-21
win.
My middles played a
great game tonight, Evans
said. Shimmy and Wendel,

they kept the ball in front of
them, they attacked hard, and
Morgan (Miller) did a great
job running the offense.
Temple again pushed
ahead to start the second set,
but Lincolnviews comeback
started a little earlier, and
came thanks to a spark from
a unlikely source.
Sophomore
Kaitlyn
Brenneman, after playing
both sets in the junior varsity match, stepped into the
varsity match for the first
time in the second and made
an immediate impact. Her
kill from the right side made
it 10-7, Temple, then she
connected again to cut the
Pioneer lead to one at 11-10.
When someone comes
off the bench and gets a good
kill, the girls are excited and
they run with that, Evans
said of the momentum swing
that can come with such a
play. Brenneman did a great
job coming off the bench and
finding the open area. She

had three kills and a couple
of nice saves; shes a great
right-side player for me.
Shes not completely there
yet, but shes one we can put
in (and get a spark).
By the time Temple (0-6)
went ahead 5-1 and 6-2, with
both Lancer points coming
on Schimmoeller kills, early
in the third, it seemed like
a foregone conclusion that
Lincolnview would come
from behind yet again. Backto-back aces from Lancer
freshman Lakin Brant knotted the game at 6-6, but
Lincolnview didnt take the
lead until Schimmoellers
second straight kill put the
home squad up 11-10.
With Miller serving,
Lincolnview ran off eight
straight points to grab control of the set and erase any
remaining Temple resolve.
Lincolnview (2-3) will
host Kalida on Thursday
evening.
turn to kick off a

new campaign and maybe more?
The National Football League commences a new season
starting Thursday night.
The opener: Pittsburgh at New England; has more than the
usual season-opener riding on it.
The back story is Tom Brady apparently insert whatever you think about DeFlateGate either got away with
it and everything that surrounded this whole fiasco of his
own making (plus he
threw a not-very-imJim Metcalfe
portant-person under
the bus to help his
cause) or he was
the victim of a rogue
commissioner that
has gotten too big
for his britches and
thinks he is judge,
jury and executioner
(or even a judge that
disregards the law or doesnt).
Or some combination of all of the above.
Does it mean that the collective bargaining agreement to
which Mr. Brady and his union representatives and lawyers
and fellow players agreed to, as did Patriots owner Robert
Kraft and his confreres also assented to is a worthless piece
of paper that can be thrown out at leisure any time anything
goes against them?
That it can be dismissed by a judge accused having an
apparent agenda and to heck with the consequences?
Either way, the surroundings in Foxborough will be electric.
Unfortunately, for far too long, what was going on on the
field was overshadowed by the goings-on in the courts.
That, to me, is not a good sign.
I dont pretend to know the ins and outs, the ups and
downs, the lefts and rights in every detail in what was going
on what was on the minds of every person involved in this
dispute, for example; or the so-called intracacies of the law in
this case but it doesnt pass the smell test.
Or my trick knee.
I may not think the players were in their sound mind when
they agreed to the power given to the commissioner in the CBA
(it is quite formidable, to say the least) but they did it, with the
advice of counsel, with every I dotted and every T crossed.
Does a mans (or womans) word or signature or stated
approval when he is being represented by someone he agrees
to be represented by, like the fellow players he voted on to do
so not mean anything anymore?
Where does the NFL go from here?
Yes, the games will go on and all will be forgotten for
now.
When Cris Carter tells all the rookies that theyd better find
a fall guy to take the rap for when they do something stupid
which he basically told them was inevitable and be prepared
to go to jail, what does that say about that whole culture?
Are the rules for everybody but them like Mr. Brady,
because he is married to a gorgeous female and is worth millions and is idolized by millions?
Let the games begin for now.

Nature must not be a fan of
high school footballs week
2 version of the Holy War
between St. Johns and rival
Lima Central Catholic.
Last year, with St. Johns
trailing in the third quarter,
lightning at Spartan Stadium
forced postponement of the
annual battle until the next
day. The break allowed to
Blue Jays to regroup and
came back to win 20-14.
Two rounds of heavy rains
on Friday this year left the
Stadium Park turf looking
more suitable for the ducks
that inhabit the canal than a
football game and the game
was canceled 30 minutes
prior to kickoff.
Its too early in the season
to call this game a must-win
to avoid a 0-2 start as both
coaching staffs looked for

offense for their respective
post-season-rich programs.
It was the Thunderbirds
offense that bounced back
from a sluggish start to post
a 46-21 victory over the Blue
Jays.
Lima Central Catholic
took the opening kickoff and
went on an 11-play, 58-yard
drive to score on a 20-yard
pass from Ethan OConnor
to Nick Taflinger at the 7:55
mark in the first quarter.
St. Johns offense also
looked impressive on its first
possession as junior quarterback Jacob Youngpeter hit
Eric Vogt for a 29-yard pickup but his run was negated
on a holding call. Vogt came
right back with a 18-yard
catch but after three runs,
the Jays faced 4th-and-3 as
the southpaw signal-caller hit Aaron Reindel for a
first down at the LCC 8. The
drive came to halt as Paul
Holbrook picked off a pass in

the end zone.
LCC replied with a
Taflinger 30-yard field goal.
After a Vogt pinned LCC
at the 13 on a perfectly-placed
punt; it took the T-Birds
only two plays to score
as OConnor hit Thomas
Williams and OConnor
scored on a 45-yard quarterback draw.
After Holbrook picked
off an overthrown ball and
returned all the way back
to the Jays 4, OConnor
scored again and the PAT
was blocked as LCC led 23-0
with 3:57 remaining in the
half.
Another interception set
up the T-Birds deep in
LCC space to score again
with 32 seconds remaining on a touchdown pass to
Williams for a 30-0 halftime
lead.

LIMA Gutting it out.
That is what the St. Johns girls soccer
team had to do on a hot and humid Saturday
afternoon on the turf of Spartan Stadium.
The Lady Blue Jays (2-3) held on for dear
life to secure a 1-0 shutout of Lima Senior.
We were tired at the end definitely; it was
90 degrees out and the turf makes it feel like
100. We dug deep the second half; these girls
wanted this match, St. Johns coach Adam
Smith said. Our effort was much better than
Thursday. Our last three matches, ever since
the second half of the Fort Jennings match last
Saturday, we have been flat.
Lima Senior coach Rosie Paris had some
personnel issues as well.
We didnt have our usual numbers. One,
we had a junior varsity match this morning,
so some couldnt play, she explained. Two,
weve had some injuries. We have about 27
total but with those two things, all of a sudden
youre not as deep as you thought. We had
our chances today but just like last year, we
couldnt score.
The first half was played on even terms as
neither team could get many shots on-goal.
In fact, they combined for five total (3 by

the Lady Blue Jays).
The Spartans (1-4-0) had the first two.
At 38:52, Morgan Marchal let loose from
25 yards but St. Johns junior keeper Kristina
Koester (5 saves, 7 shots) got the stop.
At 36:41, Skylar Quintero shot from 24
yards but that, too, was denied.
The Jays had the next three for the first
half, including the match-winner.
At 31:07, Ashlyn Troyer passed forward on
the right side to Halle Hays, who beat Spartan
keeper Essence Cowan (4 saves, 6 shots) to
the orb and deposited the orb into the net from
10 yards for a 1-0 edge.
At 14:14, Hays had a 20-yarder that was
stymied by Cowan.
At 6:31, Maria Giambruno-Fuge launched
one from 35 yards that was grabbed by the
keeper.
In the second half, the Spartans were on
the attack against a clearly tiring Lady Blue
Jay side.
Koester and the defense kept the Spartans
off the board.
The Blue and Gold had the first good look
at 34:10 when Erin Williams tried a bouncing
1-touch from 15 yards but Cowan was there.

(19:03), Corbin Fingerele (19:35), Jonathan
Stotts (20:31), Eric Anthony (20:42), and

Lady Wildcats gain 2nd shutout

of girls soccer season over Pirates

CONTINENTAL
Usually, its Continental that

is still perfect in a young girls
soccer season.
Not so this year.
That mantle belongs
to Jefferson as the Lady
Wildcats remained undefeated at 4-0 with a 3-0 victory over the Lady Pirates on
a humid but mild Saturday
morning at Continental
Soccer Stadium.
Our teamwork is tremendous. We have spent a lot
of time building chemistry
and trust among our teammates, Jefferson head coach
Josiah Stober explained. For
example, when someone like
(senior) Logan (Hamilton)
sees an opening from the
back line, we urge her to take
it and trust her teammates
to take up her spot. Shes a
senior, so we trust her even
more for being back there for
four seasons. We urge that
for all our girls and it works
SJ
(Continued from page 6)
The hosts had a 10-yard blast

by Talor Washington at 32:00
but Koester was on the spot.
At 31:10, Tajah Upshaw
tried an 8-yarder on the left wing
deflected out of bounds by a
defender.
At 26:41, Destiny Allen was
seven yards out on the left post
but Koester deflected the ball
away.
The Spartans best opening
from then on came off a corner
kick as Allen tried a 12-yarder
but Kelsi Gillespie kicked the
ball out of danger.
St. Johns hosts Jefferson 5
p.m. Thursday.
We did a little more conditioning yesterday than we
have been. We also talked about
being ready to go from the start
and the girls responded, Smith
added. Now, we have the crosstown match with Jefferson to
prepare for. They got us last
year and they are playing really
well.
Lima Senior hosts Notre
Dame Wednesday.
well.
For Continental (1-4)
coach Toby Bidlack, a usual
strength of the team is gone.
We lost a lot of our goalscorers from last year. Were
putting much of that work
on a lot of freshmen and its
been a struggle for us so far,
he explained. This is one of
those seasons where my hope
is we can be a lot better there
by October while those girls
develop those skills. At this
point, I think were worrying
too much about taking the
perfect shot instead of being
more aggressive.
For the first 10 minutes
or so, it was a battle on even
terms.
At 29:08, the Wildcats
had a 19-yarder by Kendall
Marquiss but goalkeeper
Ashley Mansfield (13 saves
versus 23 total shots) got the
save.
The Pirates (1-4) had their
first real scoring effort as
Jaylen Armey was tackled in
the box, resulting in a penalty kick. However, Armeys
effort was wide left.
The Red and White went

up 1-0 at 27:18. Off a corner
kick from the right side by
Kiya Wollenhaupt, Hamilton
had a 6-yard header from
the right post deflected by
Mansfield to the other side,
where Arianna Knebel was
right there for the putback.
At 22:50, Kaytlin Biblers
in-front shot was denied by
Jefferson netminder Jessica
Pimpas (6 saves vs. 12 total
shots).
At 10:10, Amelia Weller
had a free kick from 19 yards
on the left wing punched
away by Pimpas
The visitors had four good
scoring chances the remainder of the first 40 minutes: at
7:50, Maddie McConnaheas
16-yarder was denied by a
diving Mansfield; at 4:28,
Knebel was stopped from
16 yards; at 3:31, when
Knebels 1-on-1 13-yarder
was stopped; and at 2:30,
when Mansfield again stymied Knebel from 10 yards.
Neither team could add to
their side of the scoreboard
for the first 22-plus minutes
of the second half.

Not until 17:49. That is
when Knebels lead pass
down the right sideline gave
McConnahea the chance to
show off her skills the rest
of the way. She maneuvered
into position for a 14-yarder
from the middle back to the
right side for a 2-0 edge.
At
15:17,
Makaya
Dunning keyed by a
Hamilton lead pass down the
right sideline started on a
deep counterattack eventually found McConnahea
inside for a 15-yarder from
the right wing over the top
and into the net for a 3-nil
scoreboard.
At the 12-minute mark, the
Pirates had a pair of 10-yard
blasts by Kaitlyn Alvarado
and Paige Lawhorn deflected
by Jefferson defenders and
finally, Alvarados 12-yarder
was grabbed by Pimpas.
At 9:10, Lawhorn got a
great opening behind the
defense but Pimpas came out
to seize the ball before a shot
could be tried.
The last best chance by
either unit came at 7:50 when
Lawhorn fired a 16-yarder
from the left wing but Pimpas
was up to the task to preserve
the teams second shutout of
2015.
For us to have a second
clean slate in two matches
is a great effort out of our
defense. Were not giving our
opponents many good looks
at the goal and its a total
team effort, Stober added.
Its so much fun to talk to
the girls during our practices and work on those things
and have them execute them
well, whether its being in
good position or passing or
whatever.
I liked our effort the
whole match but especially the second half, Bidlack
added. Were trying to grow
this season more than weve
had to the last few seasons,
especially with the new faces
up front. It can be frustrating
but the girls are responding.
Jays
St. Johns came out of the locker room not only facing a
30-point deficit but the running-clock rule was also ticking
against them.
Youngpeter was picked off by Vinny Pignataro picked off
and returned it to the host 17. OConnor took it in with a rushing touchdown but the 2-point conversion was no good as LCC
led 36-0, invoking the mercy rule.
The Jays replied with a 25-yard TD pass from Youngpeter
to Tim Kreeger with 5:37 left in the third. Jesse Dittos extra
point cut the lead to 36-7 but also turned off the running clock.
The Blue Jay defense forced the first punt of the afternoon
by the Thunderbirds. A Youngpeter 49-yard run to the LCC 17
set up his TD pass to Conner Hulihan and Dittos PAT cut the
LCC lead to 36-14 with 2:04 on the third-quarter clock.
Lima Central Catholic changed gears, going from a hurry-up
passing offense to a rushing game that chewed up yardage and
valuable time on the clock. Thirteen plays, 71 yards and 6:18
minutes later, the T-Birds scored via the pass for a 43-14 lead.
Needing points fast, Aaron Reindel set up the Jays with
a kickoff return to midfield. Youngpeter found Kreeger (14
yards) and Jacob Hellman twice (30 yards), pushing the ball
to the LCC 7. Youngpeter managed to scramble away from
the T-Bird blitz and find paydirt with 6:03 remaining in the
contest.
The T-Birds recovered the on-side kick and Taflinger later
kicked a 21-yard field goal to seal the game.
The St. Johns offense was much better than their opening
week loss to Bath, gaining 269 yards. They rushed 19 times
for 96 yards and Youngpeter completed 13 of 26 for 173 yards
with a pair of touchdowns. Reindel (3 catches, 43 yards),
Kreeger (2 for 39), Hellman (2 for 29) and Vogt (3 for 49) led
the receiver crew.
LCC had 371 total yards (150 rushing and 221 passing).
OConnor gained 111 yards rushing and threw for three touchdowns.
LCC (1-1) takes on Ada next week and St. Johns (0-2) will
travel to Versailles.

Movie Review
Straight Outta
Compton
Directed by F. Gary Grey

R
Spawned from the mean
streets of Compton, Calif.,
in the late 1980s, the controversial original gangsta rap
act N.W.A. sent shock waves
across America and spawned a
commercial empire.
Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, Eazy-E,
DJ Yella and MC Ren created
tough, provocative, dangerous-sounding music that modeled and mirrored the harsh realities of their time and place:
drugs, crime, violence, racial
discrimination, police brutality. How dangerous-sounding?
Well, even their name had to
be muzzled (the letters stood
for Niggaz With Attitude),
and one of their most popular songs, F--- the Police,
caught the attention of the
FBI.
N.W.A.s rags-to-riches rise
from the ghetto of southern
Los Angeles County to the top
of the music world is a classic
tale of ambition, vindication
and escape. Their crash-andburn breakupinto angry bits
of bruised egos, bad decisions
and broken, betrayed friendshipswas the fractured flip
side to a decade of high living,
heavy partying and the huge
sprawl of the musical juggernaut theyd built from scratch.
Straight Outta Compton
captures thatmuch of it,
anyway. The beats are fly,
the story is nitty-gritty and
the timing is spot-on, with
the movies release coming
at a moment in time when a
growing movement in Amer-

ed contractual labyrinth that

eventually split them apart.
The movie credits N.W.A.
as the architects of hardcore,
real street rap. But it doesnt
depict them as saints: They
spew profanity, take drugs,
sling guns and indulge in the
orgiastic excesses that you
might expect of cocky young
rock gods. There are moments
of humor to lighten some of
the heavier moods. At two
and a half hours, it gets a bit
overloaded in the final stretch
with plot offshoots and cameo appearances by characters
playing rappers Snoop Dogg
and Tupac Shakur and record
producer Suge Knight, depicted by the film as a bullying, brutish thug.
But in its recreations of live
performances or studio sessions, and in other moments
when its explosive songs kick
it, the movie really comes
alive, reminding us of just
how shocking, raw and impactive N.W.A.s music was
25 years agoand how powerfully it echoes even today.

Back-to-school planning
BY NATHANIEL SILLIN
Could a mid- to late-career

return to college make sense
for you?
Its essential to evaluate
whether this is a financially
risky move. In recent years,
older Americans have been
heading back to school parttime and during evenings in
greater numbers than students of typical college age.
According to the National
Center
for
Education
Statistics, enrollees 25 years
of age and older account for
40 percent of all undergraduate and graduate students
by 2020, that number will
rise to 43 percent.
Statistics
proliferate
on how much more valuable undergraduate college
degrees are than high school
diplomas alone a recent
Pew Research Analysis study
reported that college graduates aged 25-32 and working
full-time earn about $17,500
more a year than employed
adults in that age group with
only a high school diploma.
Its an indication why college is a fairly clear sell for
younger people.
However, for people over
40, there are no similarly
clear-cut rewards. Thats why
its particularly important to
do extensive due diligence
before returning to college or

Thats doubly true if you

tax advice before committing

to spending savings or taking
out student loans to return to
school.
Determine how long
you really plan to work. A
2013 Gallup poll indicated
that three in four U.S. workers plan to work past the conventional retirement age of
65, but no one really knows
how long theyll be able to
work given health and other
factors. Will you be able to
recoup the cost of training
based on the number of years
you hope to work?
Find the most affordable
training possible. If a field is
friendly to new workers your
age, what will you have to
invest in training to get the
right job? Will it require a
masters-level degree or a
training certificate that makes
you a specialist in a specific skill? Will some employers accept free or low-cost
online courses being offered
by known colleges and universities? The American
Association of Community
Colleges Plus 50 Initiative
is a useful resource for lower-cost training options at
community colleges throughout the country. Also check
with your chosen industrys
leading trade associations to
see what certificate training is
most popular within the field
and what it costs.
Bottom line: Education
is beneficial at any age, but
mid-to-late career workers
should evaluate their finances and thoroughly investigate degree programs before
going back to school.

make before making a midor late-career return to the

classroom:
A degree doesnt mean
a job. That may seem obvious given the recent hiring
fortunes of younger, firsttime college grads. However,
even though some job indicators are looking up for older
workers, it doesnt mean past
experience and a high-quality degree or certificate program will immediately lead
to employment or better pay
or for how long. Start with
a thorough examination of
working conditions and hiring forecasts (http://www.
bls.gov/oes/) in your chosen
field. If its a complete career
change, add face-to-face networking and observation of
the job in action, if possible.
Most of all, its important
to know whether employers
in that specific field really
are interested in hiring older
workers and have a record of
doing so.
Fully evaluate your
finances. As risky as student
debt levels are now the
average student is borrowing around $30,000 spending money on school when
youre older is a much riskier
proposition than when youre
young. Consider that late-life
tuition is money that wont
go to retirement, a childs tuition, an older relatives needs,
consumer debt or financial
emergencies. In other words,
its an investment that really
has to pay off. Also keep in
mind that student debt cannot
be discharged in bankruptcy.
This is why it is important to
seek qualified financial and

Tasty meal gets kids cooking in the kitchen

Getting children to try new foods is not always easy. Kids have a
tendency to be picky when it comes to the foods they eat, and many
youngsters are reluctant to try all but the most familiar foods.
Getting kids to embrace a variety of foods may take time, but such
a noble effort can produce successful results. Dining on different foods
helps to develop the palate and also ensures that children are being exposed to an array of nutrients and vitamins that are essential for growing bodies.
One way to help children be more receptive to new foods is to involve them when choosing the menu and preparing meals. A youngster
who went shopping, picked out foods and assisted in the kitchen may
be more eager to try the final product than one who has not.
Mexican-inspired dishes may be one way to put new foods on the
dinner table. Cheddar Beef Enchiladas from Casseroles, Slow Cooker & Soups by Taste of Home editors (RDA Enthusiast Brands) features familiar ingredients combined with some more exotic flavors. Enchiladas can appeal to picky eaters.
Yield: 2 casseroles (5 to 6 enchiladas each)

1 pound ground beef
1 envelope taco seasoning
2 cups cooked rice

1 can (16 ounces) refried beans
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
10 to 12 flour tortillas (8 inches), warmed
1 jar (16 ounces) salsa
1 can condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted
In a large skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer, pink;
drain. Stir in taco seasoning and water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat;
simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Stir in rice. Cook and stir until liquid
is evaporated.
Spread about 2 tablespoons of refried beans, 1/4 cup of the beef
mixture and 1 tablespoon cheese down the center of each tortilla; roll
up. Place seam-side down in two greased 13x9x2-inch baking dishes.
Combine salsa and soup; pour down the center of the enchiladas.
Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake one casserole, uncovered, at 350
F for 20 to 25 minutes or until heated through and cheese is melted.
Cheddar Beef Enchiladas are a meal that can be prepared and enjoyed by the entire family. Featuring familiar ingredients presented
in a new way, they can satisfy even the pickiest of eaters.
Cover and freeze remaining casserole for up to 3 months.
To use frozen casserole: Thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Cover
and bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Uncover; bake 5 to 10 minutes longer,
or until heated through and cheese is melted.

The cost of owning an automobile extends beyond maintenance

and fueling costs. One of the biggest
expenses motorists must plan for is
auto insurance, the cost of which can
vary greatly depending on geography and driver history.
But no matter where drivers live
or what their histories are, there are
some simple ways for drivers to save
money on their monthly insurance
premiums.
Reassess your driving habits.
Auto insurance companies consider how many miles drivers drive per
year when determining the cost of an
insurance policy. Many drivers provide this information when opening a
policy, but then never update it when
renewing or extending their policies. If you drive less now than you
did when you opened your policy,
notify your insurance company and
you might end up paying less each
month, especially if your daily commute is considerably shorter than it
used to be.
Check your credit rating. Another way to save money on your auto
insurance is to check your credit
rating and, if necessary, take steps
to improve your credit score. Credit
rating is another variable insurance
companies use to determine drivers

rors that are negatively affecting

your rating. Such errors may be
inflating your auto insurance premiums.
Hit the books. No matter how
many years you have behind the
wheel, your auto insurance company may offer you discounts if
you periodically take defensive
driving courses. Such classes are

inexpensive, but they may save
you as much as 10 percent on the
cost of your auto insurance policy. Young, inexperienced drivers
and seniors tend to benefit from
defensive driving courses more
than other drivers.
Change your policy. Drivers
also can save money by making
changes to their policies. Raising
your deductible is perhaps the
easiest way to save money without affecting your coverage, and
such a decision can save you as
much as 15 percent depending
on how high a deductible youre
willing to pay. Drivers whose cars
are older and completely paid off
might want to drop their collision
insurance, which pays you if your
car is damaged or destroyed in an
accident. Such insurance wont
yield much in return if your car is
not worth much money, and dropping it from your policy can save
you between 10 and 15 percent.
Auto insurance is a necessity
for drivers of all ages, but there
are several ways to cut the costs
of insurance premiums without affecting coverage.

Questions
an agricultural improvement
research facilty built along the
mouth of the Maumee River of
reclaimed sediment. The location is
shared by the City of Toledos yard
waste composting site.
Along the north coast of Lake
Eries western basin, the Ohio
Coastal Management Program is
identifying restorable wetlands
through the Healthy Lake Erie
Fund. Were starting to reconnect these wetlands for fisheries
and habitat benefits; maybe for
nutrient processing benefits, said
Dr. Scudder Mackey, Chief of The
Office of Coastal Management
at Ohio Department of Natural
Resources. Right now we dont do
that all that well. Mackey said that
more can be expected in this arena
in the next few years.
Jim
Hoorman,
Assistant
Professor and Extension Educator
with Ohio State University
Extension Putnam County, is working diligently with local farmers to
use cover crops in the right combinations to keep phosphorous
and nitrogen out of the water altogether. Last Thursday, Hoorman led
a cover crop conservation farm tour
at the Terry and Dennis Turnwald
Farm, outside Cloverdale. At that
site, 12 cover crop plots were planted on July 29 with four different
treatments. The event drew people
from Putnam County as well as
from Akron, Cleveland, and Toledo.
When asked which cover crop
combo help keep soil on the fied
and not in waterways, Hoorman
said, We like to see grasses,
legumes and/or brassicas that survive the winter. He added that mixtures heavy on grasses that survive
the winter are best at incorporating
phosphorous and and nitrates in
the soil.
As all of these measures are
taken to combat HAB and the
growth of Lake Eries dead zones
areas with little or no dissolved
oxygen due to decomposing algae
all players know the game is
ongoing as they must keep one step
With your Average Joe warned

with a weekly report of HAB, scientists continued to monitor just how
harmful this years HAB would be.
What they found is that, although
80 percent of the green in Lake Erie
this summer was microcystis cyanobacteria, the trigger that caused
this blue green algae to release
microcystin toxin as it did in August
2014 wasnt there. Researchers in
Canada and the U.S are speculating
that one form of nitrate wasnt as
prevalent in Lake Erie watershed
runoff this spring.
Still, blue-green algae isnt a
lake food chain staple. Diatom
algae, which are, were absent from
all lake water samples collected at
Stone Lab in August, except for one
sample collected on Aug. 10 northwest of North Bass Island.
Were the walleye captal of the
world, said Dr. Chris Winslow,
Interim Director, Ohio Sea Grant
College Program at Stone Lab.
Bassmasters magazines most
recent ranking of the top 10 lakes
for smallmouth bass ranked Lake
Erie as number 22. Its a great
fishery. We have no problem being
a lake that has enough nutrients to
support that web. Its that situation
right now where we have too much
of a good thing. The phosphorous
loadings here have pushed our algal
growth too far.
Stone Lab has reached out
to charter boat captains to help
with monitoring water conditions,
including algal growth. Currently,
six captains collect a sample weekly
after fishing. Stone Lab retrieves
the sample and analyzes it.
In the Port of Toledo, scientists
are working with the ag community
to make good use of sediments
that are dredged from the river
and mouth of the bay each year,
including silt from the 5,024 square
miles land that drain into Lake Erie
from the Maumee River watershed.
Those sediments are now part of the
Dredging Center of Innovation,
FANTASTIC
February
ahead of altering weather patterns.

No matter who is responsible, why
or with what frequency the Earths
climate is changing, researchers no
sooner find a key to what makes
HAB tick, only to find an exception
to a solution.
For instance, the winters of 2014
and 2015 were particularily cold in
much of the United States, including Northern Ohio. As thick layers
of ice formed across the surface of
Lake Erie, all the scums and HAB
froze right along with the water.
Problem solved, right?
Maybe not, according to Dr.
Mike McKay, Bowling Green
State Universitys Department of
Biological Sciences. He has spent
a great deal of time on Lake Erie
during the winter months and has
seen an overall decline in ice cover.
McKay and other researchers measure light penetration through the
ice. They have found that typical
years of ice cover prevent winds
from mixing sediments up in the
water and keep cold-loving diatom
algae at healthy levels. McKay said
little ice cover in 2012 resulted in
an 80 to 90 percent decline in this
biomass.
I think a future Lake Erie may
be one of little to no winter ice.
This may be increasing in frequency, consistent with climate warming, said McKay. Does it matter?
Maybe, maybe not. The ecosystem
could readjust itself. Right now
there are major food web implications. Will we see a dip in fish
populations down the road? That
remains to be seen.
There is good news on the horizon, however, which may come
yet this year. Humans who turn on
their taps in HAB areas of concern
may still be able to safely drink
the water, no matter what color the
flow. Later this summer, with monies from the Lake Erie Protection
Fund, scientists hope to discover if pitcher-style water filters can
remove microcystin.

After the pilot study, if the city decides to utilize Fibracast, the membranes will
be used in the remaining three trains with an estimated cost of $4 million. It will
bring the city up to the recommended 3.83 million gallons a day capacity to prevent
peak wet weather flow/combined sewer overflows that are limited to four per year
by the EPA.
The new technology is also more cost-efficient with a savings of nearly $320,000
a year in energy costs.
Resolutions accepting the citys tax levy rates and placing a 4.05-mill renewal levy on the ballot in 2016 were heard on second reading. The levy collected
$208,000 per year for the last five years.
Council approved to water/sewer adjustments for $769.58 for 314 S. Bredeick
St.; and $1,895.44 for 516 S. Washington St.
Councilman Mark Clement questioned the adjustment policy, asking why they
were being brought before council.
We are not comfortable just forgiving thousands of dollars in water and sewer
bills and several members of council had expressed a desire to see the adjustments,
Coleman said.
Clement also questioned if the adjustments were entitlements that any resident
could ask for and receive or how it worked.
The policy states that a resident may request an adjustment in the water/sewer
bill if an overusage of more than 200 percent of the average bill is caused by something out of the residents control, such as a leak. An adjustment will be considered
once every three years or 12 billing cycles.
We have seen a marked reduction in these adjustment, Coleman said. We had
more than $100,000 forgiven last year and just two or three weeks ago we were at
$27,000 for 2015 so far. It has really caused that number to go down significantly.

Council also addressed an aesthetic
concern within the village, directing
Klaus to draw up a letter advising a
local business to clean up its mess, or
the village would take steps to rectify
the problem. At issue is debris spilling
over onto adjacent properties from A
& D Woodworking.
Calling it quite a mess would
be quite an understatement, Metzger
told council when requesting the
motion permitting the letter. He then
chronicled repeated efforts on the part
of the village to urge A & Ds compliance with established village ordinances, all of which, according to
Metzger, fell on deaf ears.
Council then turned to Klaus, asking if the village was within its rights
to take action and to see if any potential legal action could ensue.
Weve looked at the Ohio Revised

Code and were well within our
grounds to do this, Klaus replied,
advising that, while he couldnt assure
that thered be no legal action taken
against the village by A & D, the village could justly take action.
In other business, council:

PIZZA HUT...
More than just
delicious pizza
Chris Mitchener became
the manager of the local
Pizza Hut about 11 years ago,
after leaving the Van Wert
store where she worked for
12 years. Her transition has
been a successful one, as she
has instilled the restaurant
with a management philosophy that focuses on making
the customers feel at home.
Whats important to us
is doing whats right for the
customer and treating them
like a guest in our own
home, she said.
Mitchener enjoys the
small-town atmosphere of
Delphos because it allows
her to really talk to the customers and spend time with
them. In doing so, she tries
to promote the idea of keeping restaurant sales within
the community.
We want people to come
in and give us a try instead of
going to eat in nearby towns.
We want to keep the sales in
our community, she added.
Pizza Hut is a great, casual
atmosphere for lunch with a
friend, a family gathering or

school or business function.
Come in and see the
improvements theyve made
to the store recently. The
parking lot has been repainted and theyve had some
equipment updates.
In order to increase the traffic through the Pizza Hut doors,
Mitchener has introduced new
menu items that some customers may not be aware of.
We have a new Honey
BBQ Cheddar pizza, a
Smokehouse BBQ Cheddar
pizza and our newest pizza
is our three-cheese bacon
stuffed crust, she said.
Theyve also recently upgraded the childrens
menu. Meals now include an
entree and a side dish with
a drink for just $4.49. The
entrees include pizza, spaghetti, chicken wings, ham
and cheese sandwich or cavatini. The sides are vegetables with ranch dip, fruit or
pudding cup, bread sticks or
garlic bread with cheese.
Kids can also enjoy the
Pizza Hut Birthday Club

by filling out an entry and
get free kids meals on their
birthday. A certificate will
arrive in the mail.
For dessert, customers can
enjoy a succulent slice of
cheesecake topped with their
choice of cherry or chocolate
for $2.99 a slice.
Despite the tantalizing
new menu options, the most
popular item at Pizza Hut
is wait for it the pizza!
Perhaps the most popular
way to enjoy the pizza is at
the lunch buffet, which is
available from 11 a.m. to 1
p.m. Monday through Friday
and on Sunday, as well as
5-8 p.m. on Wednesday.
Daytime prices are $6.99 per
person and the night buffet
goes for $7.99. Managers are
constantly adding piping-hot
pizzas to the buffet and welcome input from customers
as to what types of pizza they
would like to see featured.
Pizza Hut makes their
dough fresh every day with
flour and a mixer. Most pizza
Pizza Hut is located at 133 E. Fifth Street, Delphos.

places use frozen dough. The
local Pizza Hut is also the
last franchise to offer the
original thin n crispy pizza
with fresh dough and original
sauce.
Mitchener says the most
popular item on the buffet is
the cinnamon sticks, which
often disappear as fast as the
staff can supply them. She
points out that despite the
wide variety of pizza choices,
the classic pepperoni is still
the most popular, with the
taco pizza close on its heels.
Some current specials
include a large pizza with up
to three toppings for $12. The
online special is a large with
up to two toppings for only
$7.99.
The buffet is offered at lunch M-F from 11-1, Sunday from 11-1 & Wednesday evenings from
5-8 and features 9 or 10 different kinds of pizza, dessert pizzas, breadsticks, cinnamon sticks,
alfredo pasta & spaghetti.
Pizza Hut is trying to

get more of our customers
to order online, Mitchener
said. So the best deals are
usually online.
The restaurant also is
increasing its catering efforts.
In addition, businesses can
place big orders and have
them delivered during lunch
as long as they place the order
a day in advance. Normal
delivery times are 4-10 p.m.
Sunday through Thursday
and 4-11 p.m. Friday and
Saturday.
Pizza Hut employees are
friendly and want to give
their customers a great experience when they dine in the
restaurant. They are always
looking for new people.
Currently, Mitchener is looking to add some new drivers

to her team.
The Delphos Pizza Hut
currently has 20 employees
ranging from adults to teenagers.
I try to hire employees
from all the local schools,
Mitchener said. We have
students from Jefferson, St.
Johns, Fort Jennings and
Lincolnview as well as college students from UNOH
and Wright State University.
Having a part-time job is a
great way for teenagers to
meet new people and make
new friends.
