Fighting the silence surrounding human trafficking

Ryn Farmer of Crime Victims Services of Allen County talks to the crowd

dangers of human trafficking in northwest Ohio. (DHI Media/Ed Gebert)
City projects
moving forward
VAN WERT The story of

Star Wars was set a long time ago
in a galaxy far, far away, but the
film that was presented first on
Monday was the story of happenings that occur every day, even
in northwest Ohio and cities like
Van Wert.
The
documentary
film,
Chosen was presented as part
of an event highlighting Human
Trafficking Awareness Month at
Van Wert Cinemas. The free event
attracted over 75 to see the documentary. A free showing of Star
Wars: The Force Awakens followed at the theater.
Basically the reason we are
doing this is to make the community aware that human trafficking
is in the area and not just in the
movies. Its just our way to educate, said Jamie Evans, YWCA
of Van Wert County Housing
Director. The education was a
way to break the usual silence that
surrounds the problem of human
trafficking.
Awareness was the afternoons
watchword as Ryn Farmer and
Raven Loaiza of Crime Victims
Services of Allen County shared
with the audience members in the
cinema.
Human trafficking is the buying and selling of human beings in
exchange for a good or a service,
Farmer explained. Weve had
persons here as young as 4 years
old, and survivors as old as 60, so
its a wide range of ages, genders,
and socio-economic statuses. It
covers a lot of different people.
The film showed the stories
of two young teenage women
who were taken advantage of
by older men they thought of as

boyfriends in their 20s. Farmer
pointed out that frequently teen
girls are misled by older men
into arrangements where they are
the commodity after being stalked
and sought out. Victims are often
used for sex or for labor, often by
older men, older women, or even
parents. Traffickers also often use
threats of shame and violence
against family members to control
their victims.
It is in our area. Potential victims need to make sure they are
always aware, Evans stressed.
The YWCA is kind of the leader
in our community in the fight
against human trafficking. We
have a shelter, and we do all kinds
of services.
Donations of laundry soap,
dish soap and trash bags were
collected during the event for trafficking victims at the YWCA.

DELPHOS Updates on city affairs led a light

agenda for Delphos City Council Monday.
Safety Service Director Shane Coleman said the
pilot project at the wastewater treatment was still
meeting expectations and extended an invitation
to councilmen to visit the facility and tour the new
additions.
Coleman also reported he, the Mayor Michael
Gallmeier and Water Superintendent Todd Haunhorst
met with three digital water meter manufacturers last
week and those companies will be giving presentations on their products to the same group on Monday.
We hope to have a proposal to council very soon,
Coleman said. The best-case scenario is we are on
monthly billing by July 1. I dont know if well meet
that but it is our goal.
Coleman and Fire Chief Kevin Streets visited
Marion Township trustees at a recent meeting to start
the ball rolling on the fire and EMS contract with the
township. The contract expires on Dec. 31.
City Treasurer Bob Mosier gave his yearly report
which included a Plus Account at First Federal
Bank where unused monthly funds are placed to
earn interest. The account balance on Jan. 1, 2015,
was $2,074,308.26 and on Dec. 31, 2015, it was
$2.695,348.22 with interested earned in the amount
of $3.318.77.
Councilman Josh Gillespie asked Mosier if other
local banks are solicited for their offerings. Mosier
said they were all contacted last year and the rates at
First Federal were the best.

OTTAWA Whirlpool Corporation in Ottawa

and Rhodes State College in Lima are partnering
to offer a new program to Putnam County and the
surrounding communities who are interested in
pursuing a career in business, engineering technology and technology (Pathway to Apprenticeship).
Awardees will be paid an hourly rate for their
work experience and also receive a scholarship for
50 percent of their tuition/fees, up to $1,200 per
semester, from Whirlpool. The hourly pay is $19.
The recipients will have part-time work during
the academic year and full-time work in the summer, said Al Inkrott, Human Resource Director
at Whirlpool. He said once the awardees finish
their degree, they will be given a full-time job at
Whirlpool.
Inkrott and Mathew Kinkley, executive director
workforce, Economic Development and Continuing
Education at Rhodes State, have worked to develop
this program since last November, when Whirlpool
hosted a Manufacturing Day for area students to
introduce them to employment opportunities at the

Whirlpool facility.
Kinkley said they are currently accepting applications and a scholarship team, including representatives from Whirlpool, will evaluate the qualified
applications. They will begin reviewing the applications Feb. 15.
Both Kinkley and Inkrott have met with school
officials and guidance counselors from all of the
Putnam County schools to explain the program.
Interested students can go to www.RhodesState.
edu/WEL to learn more about applying for the
program.
Inkrott said they have not yet determined the
number of students who will be accepted into the
program.
We are waiting to learn more about potential
funding that could increase the number of students
we could accept, Inkrott said.
Inkrott said they are targeting high school
seniors, but will also consider students who have
been out of school a year or so and have not decided on their career choice.

For The Record

ODOT reflects on 2015 accomplishments

is a segment through the Ohio 65 interchange area where barrier wall remains
and traffic continues to travel in a contraflow pattern.
The McClain Road bridge over
Interstate 75, which was closed in the
fall of 2014, was reopened to traffic in
December 2015.
The function of newly-installed
traffic signals at the interchange ramps
at Ohio 117/309 and Ohio 81, at the
intersection of Leonard Avenue and
Kibby Street, and throughout the Ohio
117/309 corridor east of Interstate 75
was improved. Each location is now
operating by radar which is more efficient in detecting traffic.
Beams for the new Hanthorn
Road bridge over Interstate
75 are now in place. The
bridge is expected to
reopen in late spring 2016.
The third and final project is 80 percent complete
and on schedule to be finished this fall.
Other
significant
accomplishments during
2015 within District 1:
Received the Don
Conaway Partnering Award for two
projects: a project to develop a district
campus at the ODOT District 1 headquarters, Lima; and the reconstruction of
the interchange of Interstate 75 and U.S.

I-75 reconstruction
project through Lima
enters final year
Information submitted
LIMA Motorists traveling through
the Lima region are experiencing a more
pleasant drive because of the significant work which was accomplished on
the Interstate 75 reconstruction project
during 2015.
In 2012, ODOT District 1 began the
first of three projects to reconstruct the
existing lanes and reconstruct all interchanges and bridges on Interstate 75
in the city of Lima and Allen County
from just north of Ohio
81 near Stewart Road to
the Auglaize County line.
The third and final project,
between Fourth Street and
the Auglaize County line,
will be completed this year.
The $150 million project is the largest transportation investment ever made
in Allen County since the
interstate was first constructed in the 1950s.
We worked with our contractor to
accelerate the schedule on this final
phase. We wanted to eliminate the need
for concrete barrier wall and reduce the
number of areas where traffic patterns
switched to create more comfortable
driving conditions for motorists and our
maintenance forces during the winter,
said Kirk Slusher, deputy director for
the Ohio Department of Transportation
District 1.
Slusher noted some of the most significant milestones of the Interstate 75
reconstruction project of last year:
Traffic was returned to a normal
driving pattern from Fourth Street to
Cridersville in late 2015. The exception
pleted by contractors, ODOT District

1s own highway forces completed the
following in 2015:
Used 10,400 tons of asphalt in
pavement repair
Chipped and sealed 163 lane miles
of state highway (1.2 million square
yards)
Placed 26,286 tons of berm stone
Repaired 4,868 feet of guardrail
Used 22,000 gallons of material to
seal pavement cracks
Applied 127 miles of traffic paint
Repaired 9,575 signs
Sealed 7,388 square yards of
bridge decks
Repaired 3,038 square feet of
bridge deck
Installed 5,067 feet of culvert pipe
ODOT is a national leader in pavement and bridge conditions and we will
continue that tradition in 2016. By effectively planning and executing our work
plan, we will continue to be an example
of excellence in government through
well planned construction and maintenance practices, said Slusher.

Bitter cold can be dangerous
FINDLAY Frigid air is predicted for our area and the American Red
Cross has steps people can take to stay
safe during this hazardous weather.
This extreme cold can be dangerous but there are ways to combat it,
said Todd James, Executive Director,
North Central Ohio Chapter. We want
everyone to know how to safely ride
out these winter conditions.
Cold weather safety tips
Here are ten ways to stay safe
during this latest round of cold temperatures:
1. Wear layers of lightweight clothing to stay warm. Gloves and a hat will
help prevent losing body heat.
2. Know the signs of hypothermia
9. Turn off space heaters and make

sure fireplace embers are out before
leaving the room or going to bed.
Learn how to treat cold weatherrelated emergencies by downloading
the free Red Cross First Aid App at
redcross.org/apps. More information
about winter safety is available on
redcross.org.
Project Prepare The Ohio Buckeye
Region launched Project Prepare in
2015 as a two-year initiative that seeks
to prepare a half million Ohio residents by making emergency plans,
building kits and getting trained ahead
of disasters. With support from individuals, organizations, businesses and
government agencies, our goal is to
create more resilient communities that
are better equipped to help each other
prevent, prepare for and respond to
life-threatening emergencies.
For more information on how to
prepare for emergencies, people can

urgently needs blood donors
to make an appointment to
give this winter. Eligible blood
donors of all types are needed,
especially those with O, AB,
B negative and A negative.
Blood is needed to respond
to emergencies large and
small across the country every
day. For Heather Von Glahn,
it was a personal emergency her 8-year-old daughters leukemia diagnosis that
inspired her to make the commitment to give blood regularly. Ive seen blood save
her life at least 10 times, said
Von Glahn. When friends
and family ask what they can
do for my daughter, I tell them
to donate blood. It matters so
much!
Blood donations are urgently needed now and throughout
the winter to maintain a sufficient blood supply for patients
in need. Make an appointment
to donate blood by downloading the free Red Cross

severe shivering. If someone has these
symptoms, they should get immediate
medical attention.
3. Watch for symptoms of frostbite including numbness, flushed gray,
white, blue or yellow skin discoloration, numbness or waxy feeling skin.
4. Bring the pets indoors. If thats
not possible, make sure they have
enough shelter to keep them warm and
that they can get to unfrozen water.
5. Avoid frozen pipes - run water,
even at a trickle, to help prevent them
from freezing. Keep the thermostat at
the same temperature day and night to
help avoid freezing pipes.
6. Do not use a stove or oven to
heat the home.
7. Space heaters should sit on a
level, hard surface and anything flammable should be kept at least three

Students Nathan Sealts, Sydnie Siebeneck and Noah Wittler pile bears on their boat for
the Bears in a Boat project at Fort Jennings Schools. (Submitted photo)
FORT JENNINGS Aluminum foil, plastic
bears, a tub of water and a little scientific reasoning has all the makings of a STEM project this
year at Fort Jennings High School.
Most of the seventh- and eighth-graders at
Fort Jennings are taking a STEM class (Science,
Technology, Engineering and Math) as part of the
curriculum. The class is taught by Jeff Jostpille
and recently they were working on a project called
Bears in a Boat. It involved using knowledge of
surface area, weight, balance and architecture to
build a boat with a 6-inch-by-6-inch piece of foil
that would float the most plastic bears.
Each group of four students in the 40-student
class was asked to design a boat with the small
piece of foil. They could use nothing else but
could fold it any way they desired. A plastic tub
of water was used as the lake and they needed to
pile as many plastic bear figures into the boat as
possible before it sank. They had several trials
to practice their designs before the competition
began. The winning group had 64 bears in their

boat before it sank.
The students then made boats out of parchment paper, waxed paper and a larger (8-inch-by8-inch) piece of foil. Increasing the surface area
of the boat by using the 8-inch-by-8-inch foil
square increased the amount of bears held to 158!
The winning team consisted of Nathan Sealts,
Sydnie Siebeneck, Noah Wittler and Blake
Schram.
During the several weeks of the project, the
students were also instructed by math teacher
Kevin Horstman and guidance counselor Mindy
Losh on how to use their class data to make a box
and whisker plot. They worked several days on
plotting the class results, making several of the
box and whisker plots to turn in for a grade. They
also are required to create a lab report after each
activity which includes a hypothesis, procedure,
data, and conclusion set up like a small science
fair project that reinforces the scientific method
they are learning in science classes.

Jays respond vs. Bath

BY LARRY HEIING
DHI Media Correspondent
news@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS Question
answered.
Long-time St. Johns
coach Dan Grothouse didnt
know how his girls would
respond Tuesday night after
an emotional double-overtime victory over Crestview
on Saturday.
His squad answered with
a hot shooting (5 of 9) in the
first quarter that included a
trio of 3-pointers to ignite
a 52-38 victory over Bath
Tuesday night.
The key to the game
tonight was our quick start,
explained Grothouse. Our
team was patient tonight and
worked the ball around to get
an open shot against Baths
tough zone defense.

The Blue Jays opened
the battle between a pair of
schools with a rich girls basketball tradition with triples
from the top of the key by
Madilynn Schulte and Lexie
Hays. After the Wildkittens
responded with a three by
Brittanie Ulmer, Schulte connected with a long two to
open a 8-3 lead. Bath attempted to ground the Lady Jays
aerial assault switching to a
half-court man-to-man trapping defense that cut the St.
Johns lead to one. Schulte hit
her second triple of the opening quarter from the corner
and Hays muscled her way to
the bucket with a hard-earned
bucket as St. Johns led 12-9
as the first quarter ended.
The Lady Jays opened
the second like the first with
a pair of 3-balls as Taylor

Zuber and Schulte hit from
long range. After a timeout
by Bath, Hays drained a long
two and Schulte connected
twice as the Jays lead grew
to double digits, 25-15. Hays
displayed her versatility, getting buckets inside from the
baseline and a jumper outside
in the corner as the Lady Jays
took a 29-19 lead into the
locker room.
Schulte opened the Jays
second-half scoring with her
third triple of the night and
Baths Jaidyn Hale answered
with a trey from the top.
Blue Jay freshman Hayleigh
Bacome got a 3-point play
with the hoop-and-the-harm
as St. Johns opened a 35-22
advantage.

DELPHOS With many

wrestling teams not being
able to fill out most of the
14 weight categories, coaches
are looking for every match
they can get, especially as the
second season looms.
That is especially true for
teams like Lincolnview and
head coach Curtis Miller and
Allen East and head man
Mike Abbey, who are fortunate to have enough wrestlers
to fill half the lineup.
Jefferson is blessed with
more wrestlers but the bugaboo for head coach Mike
Wilson is injuries.
So when all three of these
Northwest Conference teams
got together for a tri-meet
Tuesday night at Jefferson
High School, each was looking for difference things.
The Wildcats won both:
46-18 over the Mustangs and
71-12 over the Lancers.
With only four matches
contested in the latter dual
(Lincolnview voided 8 classes and Jefferson voided 2)
and seven in the former (the
Mustangs voided 5, Jefferson
1 and both 1), Wilson was
looking for younger perform-

ers to step up.
We have a number of
guys out of the regular lineup. When you look at the
matchups with that in mind,
I didnt think we matched up
well with Allen East especially; they may not have
many guys but Allen East
also has a quality roster of
wrestlers, Wilson said. We
had some big matches that
we won that were key. Drew
Foust, Conner Anspach and
Wyatt Place in particular all
had huge wins against some
quality opponents. Overall in

the matches we did get, we
wrestled well and thats good
for the egos.
The thing is, we wrestle
these guys so many times
through the year well see
them both again this weekend
at the Van Buren Invitational
that they keep giving us
a good gauge of where we
stand as individuals. We find
out the things we need to
keep working on.

WT 14-1 after beating Cats

BY KEVIN WANNEMACHER
HAVILAND Wayne Trace shot 54 percent from the field and led at every stop in
posting a 67-46 win over visiting Delphos
Jefferson in non-league girls basketball action
Tuesday night at the Palace.
The Raiders improved to 14-1 on the
season with the victory but did so despite 27
turnovers in the contest, an area Wayne Trace
head coach Bethany Hughes knows they must
improve on.
We have to do a much better job of taking
care of the basketball, commented Hughes
after the contest. It is something we talked
about after the game and the girls know we
cant be that sloppy with the ball.
Wayne Trace opened the game with the
first eight points, getting two baskets by
junior Danae Myers along with single buckets
from sophomore Gracie Gudakunst and senior
Erin Mohr.
Sarah Miller picked up four straight points

for Jefferson before the Raiders answered
with buckets by Gudakunst, Myers and Mohr
for a 14-4 advantage.
The Raiders went on to post a 22-13 lead
after one quarter, taking advantage of 10
Delphos Jefferson turnovers in the stanza.
Too many turnovers, commented
Jefferson head coach Dave Hoffman after the
Wildcats finished with 25 miscues. Our girls
played hard and I cant fault their effort. But
we have to be smarter and minimize the mental mistakes. It is something we are working
on and continuing to try to get better.
Wayne Trace extended the lead in the second quarter to 29-17 on a Mohr basket before
a mini-run by the Wildcats.
Two foul shots by Tori Black along with a
three-pointer and basket from Miller helped
Jefferson close the deficit to 33-24.
We had some opportunities tonight that
we didnt take advantage of, Hoffman continued.

Bulldogs hold over Ottoville

BY ERIN COX
OTTOVILLE The
Putnam County League
matchup between Columbus
Grove and Ottovile varsity boys basketball teams
came down to the wire on
Tuesday evening inside L.W.
Heckman Gymnasium, with
the Bulldogs holding on to a
1-point lead to win 57-56.
The Big Green sprinted
out to a 32-25 lead in the
first half but the third quarter
doomed the young squad.
Once again the third
quarter, we just self-destruct, Ottoville head coach
Todd Turnwald said. We put

ourselves in a good position
and we got youth out there.
Turnwald tried to keep
his team in the groove by
only spending a minute in the
locker room before coming
back out on the court to run
some warmup drills.
When Ottoville sophomore Logan Kemper opened
the half with a 3-pointer to
extend the Big Green lead
to 10, it seemed like maybe
the change in routine had
worked.
The Bulldogs, however,
came out of the locker room
ready to play and went on
a 19-2 run after that taking
the lead after an Ottoville
turnover led to 2 points by

Columbus Grove junior Ryan
Tabler.
We tried to do something
different but same result,
Turnwald said. Theres just
no defense for one on zero.
Thats our big thing; we just
cant give up unguarded
points, especially to a team
like Grove.
Bulldog head coach Eric
Maag talked to his teams
captains and senior leaders
to get them to step up in the
second half, which they did.
They responded really
well and they got after it a
little bit more defensively,
Maag said.

Tom vs. Peyton 1 more time?

For the 17th time, we shall see a Tom
Brady versus Peyton Manning matchup, this
time in the AFC Championship game.
There is a growing chance that this may be
the last time for these two sure-fire first-ballot
Hall-of-Famers to oppose each other on the
field of battle.
The next time they could be in opposition
is to see who beats the other in the number of
HOF votes!
I dont think there is any question that
these are two of the best in the post-1976
rules-change modern that is, pass-happy
era of the National Football League.
I would throw Brett Favre in there as the
top three.
As far as two of the best all-time, or maybe
out of the top five, I really dont think you
can.
You can argue that statistically, yes, they
are.
But thats why I think it is so difficult to
compare eras, especially in a game such as
football that has changed so dramatically over
the years.
In the past 50 years, it has changed from a
12-game to a 14-game to a 16-game regular
season; if some people get their wish, it will
be 18 games.
Jim Metcalfe
Metcalfes
Musings
Remember when a 1,000-yard rushing season was the standard for a running back in
12 games?
That mark in 16 games isnt so special.
Or 1,000 yards receiving or 3,000 yards
passing.
Those used to be sacrosanct, hallowed,
legendary almost.
Those separated the superstars from the
ordinary stars.
Now, they are almost commonplace.
The question that I ask is what would
Brady, Favre, Manning, et al, have done in the
era when defensive backs could pound receivers all the way down the field and defenses literally did win championships because offense
was much more difficult, which exceptions,
of course.

Lady Dogs rout Musketeers Vonderwell 6th at CIT

BY JIM METCALFE
FORT JENNINGS Fort

Jennings has struggled to get
consistency out of its girls
varsity basketball team in
2015-16.
Columbus Grove has not.
Their records and
Monday nights 91-41
Putnam County League bashing by the Bulldogs inside
The Fort of Fort Jennings
High School show it.
The Lady Bulldogs (15-1
and securing at least a title tie
with a 6-0 PCL) mark shot
a tremendous 32-of-59 from
the floor 8-of-22 beyond
the arc for 54.2 percent.
They placed a quartet
in double digits as Paige
Bellman pieced together a
double-double of 30 markers and 13 boards, Kyrah
Yinger (8 assists, 5 steals, 4
boards) and Macy McCluer
(2 treys) added 12 each and
Jade Clement (3 bombs) 11.
Theyre just a good team.
You get one of their big girls
in foul trouble (Lynea Diller)
and then Bellman steps up and
has a big game, Musketeer
coach Rhonda Liebrecht said.
Musings
We just dont have the size

inside or quickness outside
to match up with them. They
are just too deep and talented
for us to really do anything
against.
The Lady Musketeers
(2-14, 1-4 PCL) shot a chilly
14-of-55 from the floor, 2-of9 long range, for 25.5 percent.
Were more than one girl.
Lynea hardly played at all
the first half and Paige picks
up the slack, Grove coach
Brian Schroeder explained.
Thats kind the mentality
we have: when one girl is off
for any reason, next girl up.
One girl isnt shooting well,
we have others to step up. We
trust each other on both ends
of the floor and thats whats
fun to coach with this team.
Kylie Jettinghoff paced
the hosts with nine markers and seven caroms, while
Vanessa Wallenhorst added
eight and Abby Von Sossan
(2 treys) seven.
The 6-1 Diller picked up
two fouls in the first 43 ticks
and was done for the next
10-plus minutes. Bellman
picked up the slack and poured
in nine markers inside, while
McCluer came off the bench
(Continued from page 6)

Or when the running game was featured so much more prominently than
it is now.
There are no truly legendary nicknames like Purple People Eaters
(Minnesota), Doomsday Defenses
(Dallas), Steel Curtains (Pittsburgh), the
Monsters of the Midway (Chicago) or
Fearsome Foursomes (LA Rams)
Jefferson

Coach Miller whose
crew voided 5 classes against
the Mustangs, with the
Mustangs voiding 4 and both
forfeiting three has one
thing he tells his grapplers
after a match like this.
Since we will see these
teams and wrestlers like them
a number of times, especially at sectionals, thats what
were shooting for. We tell
them that these are the people
we shall see at sectionals and
if we want to take the next
step to Districts as individuals, these are the ones we
have to beat to get there,
Miller added. We are so
young: were being led by
to notch seven. Musketeer

senior Kasidy Klausing
scored all five of her markers
in the canto but they could
not match the 9-of-18 shooting by the Bulldogs (4-of13). When McCluer was all
alone behind the defense for
a layup before the horn, the
visitors were up 23-10.
The onslaught continued in
the second quarter, especially
11 counters from Bellman
(finishing the half with 10
boards as well) and nine from
Clement. Wallenhorst led the
Orange and Black with four
but the Musketeer defense
was no match for the attack
of the Bulldogs, no matter what defense they tried.
When Clement put back a
rebound at 1.1 ticks, the visitors led 47-20.
Bellman continued to
set the Grove pace in the
third quarter, downing eight.
She got help this time from
Yinger with seven, including
a pair of bombs, as they were
9-of-15 shooting. Jettinghoff
netted six counters for the
hosts and after Bellman gave
the visitors a 70-34 edge
with 16 ticks showing, two
Jettinghoff singles at 9.6 seconds made it 70-36.
units that literally struck fear into the

hearts of their opponents anymore.
The closest has been the Legion of
Boom in Seattle and sometimes a resurgence of the Steel Curtain, and the heyday of the 46 in Chicago in the 1980s.
To me, those guys would have found
a way to be successful in any era. Who
knows; maybe Peyton would have been
the first to go no-huddle!
Remember that Tom Landry perfect-
a veteran sophomore (Luke

Bullinger) and everyone else
is new to the sport at high
school. Some did wrestle in
junior high but its basically
all new. We have improved
a lot this season but when
you wrestle the talent we did
tonight, we get exposed. The
focus once we get back into
the wrestling room tomorrow
is to learn and keep getting
better.

Schulte picked up her third foul and
headed to the bench with 5:02 remaining
in the third. Senior Sydney Fischbach
displayed her veteran leadership with
a bank shot and got an assist to Hays
for the layin. Fischbach ended the third
taking a pass from Bacome along the
baseline for the basket as the Lady Jays
led 41-29.
Hays returned the favor with an
assist to Fischbach as the senior got her
fourth bucket in a 5-minute span. The
Wildkittens cut the lead down to 43-36
with 4:25 remaining and appeared ready
to make another fourth-quarter comeback. Fischbach broke Baths momentum grabbing an offensive rebound for
the putback, putting the Jays lead to
nine. Bacome scored five points from
the charity stripe in the final minutes to
seal the game for the Jays.
Thats been our Achilles heel all

season is that we jump out with a good
start but allow our opponent to come
back in the second half, continued
Grothouse. We played relaxed tonight
with confidence that made the girls feel
comfortable even when Bath made a run
in the fourth. Any time we beat a quality
program like Bath, its a feather in our
cap for the season.
St. Johns improves to 10-6 with the
win and was led in scoring by Schulte
with 15 points. The Lady Jays offense
was balanced with Hays (13), Bacome
(11) and Fischbach (10) all in double
digits.
The Lady Jays were 17 of 43 from the
field for 39 percent and were 6 for 18 on
3-point attempts.
Bath (9-7) was led by sophomore
Jaidyn Hale with 18 points. The
Wildkittens shot 34 percent from the
floo, including 4 of 13 from beyond the

Turnovers were nearly even as Bath
committed 13 and the Jays 14.

Late run lifts Antwerp

past Lady Lancers
BY JOE SHOUSE

sports@timesbulletin.com
ANTWERP In a game that was originally scheduled for

Jan. 12, the Lincolnview Lady Lancers traveled to Antwerp on
Monday evening and, after controlling the first half, couldnt
keep pace with the Archers and lost a nine-point decision
50-41.
Lincolnview starts four sophomores and a junior and head
coach Dan Williamson and his young team had the Archers on
the ropes throughout most of the contest.
With 3:09 remaining in the game, Katlyn Wendel calmly
connected on two free throws to knot the score at 41 a piece.
Those would be the Lancers final points, however, as the
Archers strung together a 9-0 run to close out the the scoring
and secure the non-conference win.
With the loss the Lancers fall to 5-9 while the Lady Archers
improve their overall mark at 6-8.
Antwerp led briefly during the opening minute of play, but
fell behind by as many as nine in the first quarter. An Olivia
Gorman trey to open the second period gave the Van Wert
County visitors a double-digit lead at 16-6 and Lincolnview
went to the halftime break holding a 20-16 margin over the
Archers.
This is the way its been for us all year. A very up and
down season and tonights game was the same way. We played
a good first quarter and a not so good second quarter. In the
early stages our press was very effective and we did some good
things, said Lancer head coach Dan Williamson.
The shift of momentum quickly came in the third period,
with Antwerp scoring the first eight points to turn a 4-point
deficit into a 4-point advantage. Lincolnview stopped the run
with a bucket from Maddie Gorman to trail 24-22. The Archers
managed to keep their lead and entered the final eight minutes
holding a 32-27 edge.
A traditional 3-point play by Kayla Schimmoeller followed
by an Alena Looser trey to open the fourth period had the
Lancers back on top at 33-32, but the Archers came right back
with a 3-point play of their own from Audrie Longardner to put
Antwerp back in the lead 35-33.

An inbound pass by
Ottoville was stolen and
Bulldog senior Baily Clement
was fouled allowing him to
take two shots from the line,
both of which he cashed in
on, giving the Bulldogs the
lead again at 57-56.
With just 5.9 seconds left
in the game, a drive to the
basket by Ottoville came up
empty, leaving the home team
with the loss.
We had our chances at
the very end and we panicked a little bit and gave it

back to them, Turnwald said.
The effort is there and were
doing a ton of good things.
Were close to being 3-0 in
the league if we could find a

Wildcats roll by Canal

Fulton NW on the road
BY JIM METCALFE
DHI Media/Sports Editor
CANAL FULTON NORTHWEST Jeffersons boys basketball team was coming off an overtime win on the road at
Ada Friday night when they took to the road for a long trek to
Canal Fulton Northwest High School Saturday night to take on
the Indians in non-league action.
As one might have expected, it took the visiting Wildcats
some time to really get it rolling.
They did so with a stellar third period outscoring Indian
Nation 19-9 en route to a 50-38 triumph.
We won two games on the road and we didnt have a good
offensive game either night. Tonight, it was a typical what
you expect from a 2 1/2-hour bus ride type of Saturday-night
game, Jefferson head coach Marc Smith observed. I am
confident that our offense will come back around we have
too much offensive skills for it not to. These guys are working
really hard to get it back, too, putting in extra time before and
after practice.
The Wildcats (10-4) shot 10-of-14 from the field in that
8-minute span getting 10 markers from senior Trey Smith
(29 markers - 2 treys; 8 rebounds), five from junior Jace
Stockwell (11 counters, 5 assists, 5 steals) and two each from
seniors Dalton Hicks (9 boards) and Grant Wallace to account
for the scoring to open up a 42-30 spread.
The key stretch was an 8-0 closing spurt in the final 1:42
of the stanza, three on transition layups off of steals, with the
capper one by Smith with 36 ticks left.
With the lead, the Wildcats became more deliberate running their offense in the fourth period and slowly built up the
biggest lead of the game 50-32 on a 3-point play by Brenen
Auer late before the deeper reserves came into the game.
The Wildcats trailed 14-12 after one period. It was both
teams using combinations of zone and man concepts, with
Smith going for eight markers and the Indians Matt Fennell
(11 points) countering with seven. Nathan Booths basket
made it 14-9 for the hosts but when Smith drained a trio late in
the period, the Wildcats were within 14-12.
A 3-ball by Brayden Penrod at the 5-minute mark of the
second period, NW again had a 5-point spread 19-14. The
Red and White took command the rest of the period, outscoring their hosts 9-2. Smith (7) and Stockwell (4) did the damage
for the guests, with Smiths inside basket at 1:04 giving them
a 23-19 edge. A layin by Fennell at 26 ticks made it a 23-21
halftime bulge for Jefferson.
Jefferson finished 22-of-49 from the field (3-of-16 long
range) for 44.9 percent and 3-of-7 at the line (42.9%); and
with 30 boards (10 offensive) as Josh Teman added four, 13
turnovers and 10 fouls. Drew Reiss added five steals and Ryan
Goergens three assists as the Wildcats totaled 14 for the game.
We won it with very good defense tonight, as we did last
night. These guys have bought into what were doing defensively, mixing up our schemes, Coach Smith added. What
were doing is utilizing our athleticism, length and our basketball IQs with this plan. I felt that even though we really didnt
know anything about Fulton outside of some scouting, we
controlled the game defensively. They didnt know much about
us, either, so early on was a feeling out process. We took control in the third quarter and once we get the lead like that, Im
confident we will run the offense as we need to to put it away.
Canal Fulton totaled 15-of-43 shooting (6-of-18 from
3-land) for 34.9 percent; 2-of-4 from the line (50%); and with
29 rebounds (9 offensive) as Fennell had six and Booth five,
18 miscues and 15 fouls.
Jefferson also won the junior varsity matchup 43-27 to
improve to 12-1.
Drake Schmitt led the way with 12 and Davion Tyson added
10 for the Red and White.
Jefferson is off until Saturday when they hit the road to
tangle with Pandora-Gilboa.

DELPHOS - The Lady

Jays fought back from seven
points down in regulation,
then three points back in the
first overtime.
With a 6-0 spurt to start
the second extra session,
Delphos St. Johns made
sure it wouldnt need another
comeback in what became a
54-48 win over state-ranked
Crestview on Saturday
night at Robert A. Arnzen
Gymnasium.
That says a lot; this team
has grown up, St. Johns
head coach Dan Grothouse
said of the way his team came
from behind. Early in the
year, we may have given up
and ended up losing by 10,
but this team is starting to
believe a little bit more.
Leading 37-30, and having held the Lady Jays to
a single second-half field
goal, Crestviews defense
was late getting out on shooters on three straight trips,
each resulting in a St. Johns
3-pointer. Madilynn Schulte
drilled one from the corner, then Hayleigh Bacome
knocked down a triple. After
Emily Bauer scored in the
post for Crestview, pushing
the lead back to three, Lexie
Hays knotted the score with a
trey from the left wing.
We had the girls that we
need step up and make some
big shots for us, Grothouse
said. Our team is growing

Lady Green stymies state-ranked Minster

BY JIM METCALFE
MINSTER There is a reason that

Ottoville head girls basketball coach
Dave Kleman and Minster mentor Nann
Stechschulte scheduled each others
teams on the calendar.
Both were looking for a regular challenge to gauge where their respective
teams stand as the season nears the back
third of their schedule.
That is true especially this year as the
host Wildcats stand sixth in the Division
IV AP poll and the Lady Big Green are
ninth, with both units standing at 12-2.
Ottoville took the lead for good early
in the first period and put on a defensive
clinic in securing a 44-27 non-league
conquest Saturday afternoon inside
Minster Gymnasium.
Ottoville limited the Wildcats to 9-of41 shooting (3-of-14 downtown) for
22.0 percent, using various defensive
looks.
This type of game is what we want
to see where we stand as a team, what
we need to work on. Minster is a quality
team and a quality program, Ottoville
coach Dave Kleman explained. Our
defense is very quick at every spot.
We were very quick today and played
defense like I know we can and it helped
us create better offense at the other end.
Sophomore Bridget Landin was high
scorer and rebounder for the Big Green
and the game with 14 points
and seven caroms and classmate C.J.
Kemper added 10 markers.
Brooke Mangas added seven steals to
lead a Lady Green defense that forced
20 turnovers.
Rosie Westerbeck (12 markers, 4
rebounds) gave the hosts their only lead
just 10 ticks into the contest but the
Green answered right away on a layup
by Mangas (8 markers) at 6:41. When

lone Ottoville senior Nicole Kramer

hit a short banker at 6:05, that gave the
guests the lead for good at 4-2. Hitting
an impressive 7-of-9 from the floor in
the first stanza against a program that
knows a thing or two about defense, also
forcing eight miscues, Ottoville built
up a 16-4 edge on a putback by Amber
Miller (5 counters, 4 caroms) at 39 ticks.
A basket by Alexis Thorbahn at 6:25
gave Ottoville its biggest lead of the
half at 18-4 before Minster began to
rally behind eight markers (2 treys)
by Westerbeck. They took better care
of the ball (1 miscue) and forced five.
Thus, when Westerbeck swished in a
buzzer-beating desperation lefty hook
just barely beyond the arc at the top of
the key, the Green and Golds lead was
down to 21-15.
The teams traded blows in the first
4-plus minutes of the third period, with
a long deuce by Lindsay Roetgerman
(4 markers, 5 boards) at 3:45 getting
Minster within 27-23. However, the
Green and Gold shut out its foe the rest
of the stanza and Landins five led the
visitors to a 9-0 closing spurt, capped by
a single by Thorbahn at 20.4 ticks, to get
the lead back to 36-23.
Minsters 3:45 drought extended
another 3:03 of the fourth period as the
visitors built a 42-23 advantage on a pair
of singles by Miller at 5:43. Ottoville
finished off a strong defensive game by
limiting its opponent to four points the
fourth period, allowing the coaches to
bring in their deeper reserves.
We have a lot of scoring balance.
You cant focus on just one girl when
guarding us, Kleman added. What we
have is lots of versatility; we have girls
that can all play several positions at different times. For example, if you try to
defend our big guards with smaller ones,
they go down into the post. If your bigs
try to defend our quicker bigs, they can
go outside and shoot the 3.

Keeping your New Years

financial resolutions
By NATHANIEL SILLIN
Whether youre talking
about diet, exercise or money,
keeping New Years resolutions
is challenging. A University
of Scranton researcher noted
that weight loss is the current
reigning resolution, followed
by improve finances at No. 2.
And while the study (https://
www.sharecare.com/health/
healthy-new-years-resolutions/
article/the-resolution-solution)
showed that roughly 40-46
percent were successful in
their specific goal at the sixmonth mark, more than half
gave up.
Your personal finances need
more dedication than that.
If you want to add some
fairly easy money resolutions
to help your finances overall,
consider the following:
Make your first budget or
do a better job of reviewing the
one you have. A 2013 Gallup
survey reported that only onethird of Americans actually
prepare a detailed household
budget. Make your first resolution to create or review your
household budget (http://www.
practicalmoneyskills.com/budgeting) so you know where
your finances stand at all times.
Budgeting involves dayto-day tracking of finances, but having a quick way
to determine your net worth
(http://www.practicalmoneyskills.com/worth) your
assets minus your liabilities
offers the biggest picture of
how youre doing and what
next steps you might take to
improve your circumstances.
Make this calculation an annual kickoff to the New Year.
Having an emergency fund
means youre always ready
for the unexpected. The average emergency fund generally
covers three-to-six months of
daily expenses yours could
be more or less. Keep in mind
that the primary purpose of
an emergency fund is to keep
you away from savings when
unexpected expenses happen.
Depending on your comfort
level with all things digital,
virtually every aspect of your
financial life can be managed
online or with computer-based
software. From setting up a

basic paper or online calendar
to track pay dates, bill due
dates and deposit dates for savings and investments, a daily
series of reminders and action
items will keep your money
issues on time and on track.
Recommit to retirement. If
youre employed or self-employed, heres how to make a
retirement savings resolution
stick. First, make sure youre
signed up for a 401(k), 403(b)
or 457 plan at work or a corresponding SEP-IRA, self-directed 401(k) or other self-employment retirement plan that
fits your tax and financial
situation. Then check what
your 2016 maximum contribution (www.irs.gov) is for
your respective plan. Finally,
through budgeting or a plan to
bring in more income, determine how you can come as
close to your maximum contribution as possible for the
coming year. And of course,
dont forget about Traditional
or Roth IRAs (https://www.
irs.gov/Retirement-Plans/
Traditional-and-Roth-IRAs)
that you can contribute to
independently of work-based
plans. All of these options can
improve your retirement prospects while saving you considerable money on taxes.
Review your non-retirement benefits and insurance.
For most employed and
self-employed people, open
enrollment for health and other
company benefits wrapped
up before year-end. But that
doesnt mean you cant make
notes at any point in the year
for possible changes and
improvements to your health
insurance and related tax-advantaged accounts. The same
goes for reviewing your personal home, auto, life and disability coverage for potential
savings and/or better coverage.
Qualified advisors can help
you review these choices.
Find more money to save.
Whether its adjusting what
you spend, paying off expenses or finding ways to bring in
more income, saving more is
one of the best financial objectives there is. The first step
Nathaniel Sillin
is to track and set spending

limits those limits will help
you reset or eliminate expenses
that are standing in the way of
your goals.
Bottom line: Making New
Years resolutions always
sounds like a good idea at
the time, but keeping them
requires determination, study
and focus. This year, build the
kind of money habits that position you for success.

Gillespie reported he recently met with the administration and

department heads. Gillespie is the chair of the Finance Committee
and has taken it upon himself to meet with the department heads
each January to go over their budgets line item by line item and
look over purchase requests. Gillespie said the budgets all looked
manageable and revenues exceed spending.
Council heard three pieces of legislation, including an ordinance to contract with O.P. Aquatics for the purchase and installation of a new sand filter system for the Delphos Municipal
Swimming Pool. The cost of the project is not to exceed $59,000.
Coleman said that as soon as the ordinance passed, he would start
ordering what is needed for the project.
We need to keep this moving so we can get the work done as
soon as the weather permits this spring and we can keep to our
Memorial Day weekend opening, Coleman added.
Councilman Mark Clement asked if the new system would
be cost-effective and Coleman answered that it would use less
water because the old system requires a significant amount of
re-filtering.
Gillespie added that the citys budget is healthy enough for the
pool filtration system.
Council heard on first reading an ordinance authorizing the
administration to purchase materials and commodities needed
for the various city departments for day-to-day operations; and
a resolution on second reading establishing the policy and intent
to sell unneeded, obsolete or unfit property owned by the city on
GovDeals.com. The sales fee for the city to sell items on the website is 5 percent with the buyer paying 7.5 percent.
Council passed a single water/sewer adjustment request for the
property at 226 N. Main St. The request stated all the toilets in the
buildings had new parts inside and a reread of the meter indicated
a lower usage than normal. The adjustments was passed with a 4-3
vote with Gillespie, Tom Grothouse and Andy Daley voting no.
Gillespie called for a Finance Committee meeting at 7
p.m. Monday in council chambers. The meeting is open to the
public.

More Accurate Diagnoses, Less

Invasive Treatment for Pelvic Pain
Whirlpool
With this program we are developing our
own workforce, Inkrott said explaining it is
now difficult to find qualified candidates for
skilled positions at Whirlpool. He is hoping
this program will provide the qualified candidates needed to fill open positions.
The scholarship recipients will essentially
be job-shadowing employees working in the
field they are pursuing, Inkrott said.
He said the employees are excited about
the program because for many of them this is
how they learned the trade by job-shadowing
and it gives them an opportunity to pay it
forward.
Kinkley said Rhodes State will work with
Whirlpool during the academic year to provide scheduling for the students that allows
them to also work at Whirlpool.
Degrees will be provided in the following
areas:
Business
Associate of Applied Business in
Business Administration or a related field

(Accounting,
Human
Resource
Management, Supervision, etc)
Engineering Technology
Associate of Applied Science in Electrical
Engineering Technology
Associate of Applied Science in
Manufacturing Engineering Technology
Or other Whirlpool approved Eng.
Technology degree program
Technology (Pathway to Apprenticeship)
Introduction
to
Multi-skilled
Apprenticeship coursework
Introduction to Tool and Die
Apprenticeship coursework
Inkrott said the Whirlpool Corporation in
Ottawa is the first site to offer this kind of
program.
If it is successful, other Whirlpool locations plan to offer this program, Inkrott said.
Kinkley said Rhodes State has reciprocal
agreements with other schools that would
provide the education in those localities.
Trivia
A teenager with cramps so intense she

could not go to school
A 30-year-old whose pelvic pain led to
severe emotional distress
An elderly woman who found the simple
act of sitting to be unbearable
For more than 25 years Dr. Maurice Chung
has treated these women and others for a
range of problems, including menstrual pain,
sexual pain, bladder control, and organ prolapse. He is quietly passionate about dealing
with pain in the least invasive way possible.
Avoid Unnecessary Surgery
Pelvic pain is often misdiagnosed as
endometriosis, Dr. Chung explains. In fact,
endometriosis an abnormality of the uterus
accounts for only about 20% of all cases.
Looking at the symptom too narrowly can
lead to the wrong treatment. For example, if a
single organ such as the uterus is believed to
be the culprit, unnecessary surgery can result.
But when other issues are involved such as
nerve or muscle damage even a treatment as
drastic as hysterectomy (surgical removal of
the uterus) wont be effective.
Dr. Chung is committed to helping women
avoid unnecessary surgery. When a woman
comes to me with severe pain, I start with the
least invasive treatment approach. The vast
majority of pelvic pain cases do not require
major surgery, he says.
New Center for Treating Pelvic Pain

Dr. Chung oversees the Van Wert County
Hospital Womens Center of Excellence for
Pelvic Pain, Organ Prolapse and Bladder
Control, a comprehensive treatment facility
opened in 2015. Visitors to the Center include
women at every stage of life, from teenagers
to the elderly.
A graduate of Northeastern University
College of Pharmacy and Tufts University
Medical School, Dr. Chung is board-certified
in both OB-GYN and uro-gynecology and has
been a certified laparoscopic surgeon since
1995.
Pain is not normal
Women may think that symptoms such
as severe menstrual cramps or pressure on
the bladder caused by aging are unavoidable. Or they may be embarrassed to discuss
issues like painful intercourse and urinary
incontinence. Sometimes, after unsuccessful
attempts to treat pelvic pain, women are made
to feel the problem is all in their head.
Women have a tendency to care for family and loved ones first and may neglect or
downplay their own discomfort, Dr. Chung
says. But pain is not normal. We take all
symptoms seriously, and we want our patients
to know they are not alone. With proper diagnosis and treatment, there is a good possibility
we can eliminate or significantly reduce pain
without drastic measures.

Todays joke:
A well respected surgeon was relaxing on his sofa one evening just after arriving
home from work. As he was tuning into the evening news, the phone rang. The doctor
calmly answered it and heard the familiar voice of a colleague on the other end of the
line.
We need a fourth for poker, said the friend. Ill be right over, whispered the
doctor.
As he was putting on his coat, his wife asked, Is it serious?
Oh yes, quite serious, said the doctor gravely. In fact, three doctors are there
already!
