City continues research

into automated meter
reading system
BY NANCY SPENCER

DELPHOS The city administration
presented a preliminary report on changing
the citys water meter reading to automated.
Safety Service Director Shane Coleman
outlined what the city has uncovered so far
in its investigation of the project.
There really doesnt seem to be a
downside to moving to monthly billing,
Coleman said.
He listed the benefits to citizens as:
Detailed history of usage upon
request;
Leak detection alerts;
Ability to monitor usage more closely;
Accurate and timely billing;
Better alignment with other bill
schedules; and
Ability to budget month-to-month.
Benefits to the city include:

Reduced man-hours for meter reading;

Accurate records of consumption and
reduction of unaccounted-for water loss;
Meter tampering detection;
Leak detection;
Detailed usage history; and
Efficiencies in billing which will
allow for improved customer service.
With the automated system, a city
employee will drive around town each
month and when the meter reader gets near
a meter, information is transmitted to the
digital device in the vehicle or held by the
employee.
According to his research, Coleman said
the state-of-the-art readers have electronic
registers which verify the reading before it
is sent to the transmitting unit. Each automated reader in the home or small business
will have a unique number to ensure a
match.

DELPHOS The
Kiwanis Club of Delphos
has released the entertainment lineup for the Fourth
of July celebration that
will be held July 2, 3 and
4 at Stadium Park.
Since the Fourth is on
a Monday, it only makes
sense to offer people
three days of family fun,
Kiwanis member Cindy
Metzger said.
Shelby County Line
will get things started on
July 2 and Delphos will
once again answer the
question of who has the
best-tasting pizza.
On July 3, Nashville
Crush will take the stage.
Plans are also in the works
for a kickball tournament,
corn hole and duck races.
The Up to the Challenge
Softball Tournament will
also be played.
On July 4, the day will
begin with the Optimist
Fishing Derby and Fire
Cracker Bike Ride as well
as City and Minor League
baseball tournaments.
The Kiwanis will serve
up their world-famous
chicken dinners, Basket
Bingo is on the slate in the
afternoon and the annual fireworks display will
start at 10 p.m.
Some tweaks have been
made for the upcoming
festival, including a larger social tent with higher
poles so all can view the
entertainment within.
We had some people tell us they couldnt
see anything in the social
tent from outside so we
are raising it up, Metzger
said. We are really putting
it all out again this year.
Metzger said the group
is finalizing the schedule
every day and more information will be available
soon.

OTTOVILLE A building that has been on the Ottoville landscape for over 140 years
will soon disappear from the skyline.
The lemon yellow Odenweller Milling Co. building is being dismantled. The building has
been at this location since 1875 when it was built along the Miami-Erie Canal.
We will still have our day-to-day activities, said president Howard Odenweller. He said
to upgrade this building and equipment was not feasible. The Odenweller Milling Co. will
still handle grain and offer fertilizer and bag feed for sale.
The building is similar to an old barn on a farm, Odenweller said. Its just not built to
handle modern-day equipment.
Odenweller said they removed the inside equipment last week. This week they are dismantling the building.
They said it would take about 10 days, Odenweller said. We tried to see if anyone was
interested in the historical equipment but didnt have an success.
He said they are possibly looking to expand by putting in a bin.

10 Years Ago 2006

Local insurance agency Odenweller,
Wulfhorst and Van Pelt at 103 N. Main St. has
changed ownership. Mike Odenweller and
Jack Wulfhorst announced Wednesday the sale
of the 81-year-old business to Odenwellers
son, Greg Odenweller of Delphos, and John
Sheeran of Middle Point. Mike Odenweller

at the home of the Commodores. Seth Askins
topped the Musketeers (11-8) with 16 markers
while Derek Geise and Sean Weber tallied 13
each.
Wayne Gretzkys hand-picked club fell
way short at the Olympics, his aging corps
of veteran hockey players unable to match
up with speedier Europeans. The Americans
suffered the same fate, leaving Italy with
only one victory. It was a whole lot of underachievement by the two North American
teams who won gold and silver just four years
ago.

Eating right can improve quality of life

Legend states that on April
2, 1513, Spanish explorer
Juan Ponce de Len was the
first European to discover
modern-day Florida when
he traveled on a quest for
the mythical Fountain of
Youth. While modern science has proven that there is
no mystical fountain or body
of water that can reverse or
slow down the aging process,
there are many steps people
can take to age well and prolong their lives.
Eating the right foods is
one way to age well. According to Ralph Felder, M.D.,
Ph.D., coauthor of The Bonus Years Diet, reversing
the aging process internally
is more difficult than outward cosmetic changes. But
the right foods can go a long
way toward increasing both
life expectancy and quality of
life. Those who want to employ diet to increase their life
expectancy may want to start
adding more of the following
foods to their breakfast, lunch
and dinner plates.
Broccoli, grapes and salad: According to Health magazine, researchers have found
that compounds in these three
foods boast extra life-extending benefits.
Berries: In addition to
their abundance of antioxidants, berries have other
benefits. A 2012 study from
Harvard University found
that at least one serving of
blueberries or two servings of
Berries and whole grains are nutritious foods that can

help men and women live longer, healthier lives.
strawberries each week may

reduce the risk of cognitive
decline in older adults.
Fruits and vegetables:
Produce is good for the body
because its low in calories
and high in fiber, vitamins
and other nutrients. Numerous studies have indicated
that diets plentiful in fruits
and vegetables help people
maintain a healthy weight and
protect against cardiovascular
disease.
Whole grains: Whole
grains pack a lot of nutrition into a low-calorie food.
Whole grains help protect
against type 2 diabetes, and
researchers at the University of Texas Health Sciences
Center found study partici-

pants whose diets included

plenty of whole grains and
fruit cut their heart disease
risk by almost half compared
to those whose diets favored
meat and fatty foods.
Red wine: A glass a day
for women and no more than
two glasses daily for men
can be beneficial. Moderate
consumption of red wine has
been shown to slow age-related declines in cardiovascular
function, according to the
American Heart Association.
Fiber: Increase your fiber
intake for a longer life. Research from The American
Journal of Clinical Nutrition
finds that the more fiber you
include in your diet, the lower your risk of coronary heart
disease. The daily recommendation is 25 to 35 grams.
While there may be no
such thing as the fountain of
youth, a healthy diet can help
men and women prolong their
lives.

OTTOVILLE While Ottoville Village Council appeared

to have resolved a dispute over Dollar Street during last
months meeting, the subject was once again on the table and
council members find themselves back at square one.
In January, Mayor Ron Miller advised council that Theresa
Von Sosson, the villages legal counsel, could find no reason
why the village shouldnt simply vacate the road.
So. We can vacate it, Mayor Ron Miller stated at the time.
My question to you guys is, is this what you want to do?
The response was immediate and unanimous. Expressing
the sentiment of the group as a whole, Councilor Darren Leis
said, I really think this is great news.
Miller expressed agreement, saying, That streets going to
be a problem child if we leave it as it is.
However, during Mondays meeting, Von Sosson conveyed
a message to council from Nathan Roberts, divisional president
with Celadon Trucking, which, along with Main Street Market,
is at odds over the short stretch of road.
Celadon would appreciate the Village of Ottoville keeping
Dollar Street open, Von Sosson read. The missive further
requested that the road remain open until an alternative access
to Celadons properties along Dollar Street can be devised.
Although communication between Celadon and village
representatives has proven sketchy at best, with weeks passing
without a response to queries put forward by the village, council conceded to the request.
Summing up councils intentions, Miller said, Before we
make any decisions on Dollar Street, well talk to them one
more time.
Council also heard and ultimately approved a resolution
acknowledging the Putnam County Solid Waste Management
Plan Update, in effect rubber-stamping a document that circulates every five years.
In response to Millers request for a vote on the update,
Councilor Joe Moreno shrugged both arms in the air and asked,
Which is?
Miller, conceding that the document supplied by the county
was slim on specifics, said, I thought theyd send us something a little broader, explaining what they did, but this is what
we got.
In other business, council:
approved a payment of $4,041.34 to J&M Excavating
for their work on the Progressive Drive water and storm line
project.
heard a brief presentation about a future Putnam Soil and
Water Conservation District even, currently scheduled for

Jays hold off Wildcats in D-IV

BY JIM METCALFE
DHI Media Sports Editor

VAN WERT Both

St. Johns and Kalida have
struggled with offensive consistency during the 2015-16
boys basketball season.
With that in mind, it meant
two things when the Blue
Jays and Wildcats met up in
Tuesdays second game of
the Division IV Van Wert
Sectional: this would likely
come down to being a defensive-minded affair, as well to
see which team could could
do just enough on the offensive end to win.
In the end, that came
down to the 7th-seeded Blue
Alex Berelsman of Fort Jennings drives into the lane and Gold (9-13) holding off

We persevered. The
only negative we had was a
drought in the second half
but that has been an issue
all season; our shot selection
has been good all season but
its a matter of executing,
St. Johns head coach Aaron
Elwer said. The thing was,
we played right through it
defensively. We believed in

Musketeers need
2 OTs to oust rival
Big Green boys
OTTAWA At the end of regulation, Fort Jennings used a

timeout to set up a final play. It didnt work.
When a similar situation presented itself near the end of the
second overtime, Musketeer coach Keith Utendorf decided not
to use a timeout. This time his kids found a way to score.
Senior guard Alex Berelsman hit a shot with time winding
down in the second overtime to give the Musketeers a 64-62
win over Ottoville in a Division IV sectional semifinal game at
Ottawa-Glandorf High School.
The win advances the Musketeers (6-17) to the sectional
finals Friday night against Crestview at 6:15 p.m. at OGHS.
Ottoville finishes the season at 3-20.

Another rite of spring and

this time, it isnt spring training
Another annual rite of spring OK, late
winter is the NFL Combine in Indianapolis.
That started Monday and involves all kinds
of evaluations of prospective draftees: Weight,
height, arm sleeve length (for all those offensive linemen to just push defenders away!),
40-yard dash time, how many reps they can do
on the bench press at 225 pounds, etc.
Then there are the attempts to get inside
each players noodle and see what makes
them tick, if they are a ticking time bomb or
level-headed or something in between.
With all the moolah involved in todays
National Football League with the salary
cap apparently heading above $153 million
for the 2016-17 season teams are taking
no chances
You dont get too many chances to make
mistakes in this day and age because there is
no patience anymore.
Maybe there cant be anymore but remember when teams could wait for a player to
come into his own.
Now, if they generally dont produce within a year or two, they are gone.
Then you have certain teams that will take
a chance on someone who is a proven ticking
time bomb anyway because they produce on
the field.
Sometimes, I think we have turned professional football into a lab experiment and dont
trust what we see and hear.
After all, many of these guys were productive players between the line they showed
they can play this game, even if they were a
step slow or lacked strength or some such
negative.
I find it almost impossible to think that in
this age of Bigger/Faster/Stronger, a player
who is eligible for the draft heck, any
player at a major college or below that wants
to get onto the field would NOT be busting
his behind to get bigger, stronger, faster.
The Combine might be OK for me because
they are tested in those areas that most players
need to improve most collegians need to
get stronger all over to make the jump to
the next level but it seems they do forget what
their own eyes did during fall Saturdays.
The Pro Day later on for most of these
guys at their respective colleges or at the
places many go to after the season to work
out is something different; these are not under
competitive situations but set up to make them
look as good as possible.
Anyone can run a rout with no one really
bothering them but try to run it with a cornerback beating you senseless; that would
Jim Metcalfe
Metcalfes
Musings
show me something.
Remember the circus that was Johnny
Manziels Pro Day a couple of years ago?
Maybe that was more of an indication of his
makeup than anything else.
Also going on is the lead-up to the
free-agency period, with teams making cuts
of some well-established stars.
For example, it appears Robert Griffith III
will be cut he and his $16 million deal
by the Washington Redskins by I think he will
end up somewhere else for a team he thinks he
can start for.
I dont think he has any thought of going
somewhere to be the automatic backup.
It could me that he might end up in
Cleveland assuming Johnny Football gets
the slash and not in Dallas because Romo
is the starter (for better or worse!).
I do believe he can still be a servicable pro
quarterback. Sometimes, you just need a new
start, a la Jim Plunkett and Rich Gannon years
ago in Oakland.
===========
As per my column last week, the Cincinnati
Reds attempted to trade outfielder Jay Bruce
to the Toronto Blue Jays in a 3-team deal the
Los Angeles Angels.
According to reports, they would have
received at least at least? ONE prospect!
Wow!
One prospect for a $12.5 million former
All-Star!
Thankfully, it looks like it wont go through
but one now wonders if this was a legitimate
offer, who in the Reds organization would
actually offer to make this trade.
Hopefully, if it gets resurrected, the pot will
be sweetened because I just cant believe they
would just give this guy away in essence,
thats what theyd be doing because hes
not that far removed from his hey day and is
still on the right side of 30.
He could still return to his old form and
help Joey Votto not walk 300 times.
Unfortunately, he likely will be gone
because they probably wont pick up his
option for 2017.

LIMA With the regular season and conference tournaments behind them, wrestlers set their sights on a new goal:
Columbus.
The road to The Schott began this weekend with the Division
III sectional tournament held at Lima Central Catholics Msgr.
Edward C. Herr Gymnasium.
The top four placers in each weight bracket that survive the
2-day tournament will move onto the D-III District tournament
held at Hobart Arena in Troy next weekend.
With a total of 14 teams competing, only 56 tickets would
be punched for the right to move onto the next level.
Ottawa-Glandorf led the way for local teams with seven
wrestlers advancing followed by Wayne Trace (6) and Delphos
Jefferson (4). Delphos St. Johns, Columbus Grove and
Spencerville each had a pair survive.
Ada, Lincolnview and Parkway also advanced a grappler
to districts.
Jefferson had a pair of runner-ups with Andrew Foust and
Hunter Binkley.
Foust marched through the preliminaries, pinning Caleb
Baughman of Wayne Trace in the first round and notched a
major decision over Ottawa-Glandorfs Evan Ellerbrock in the
quarterfinals. The closest match of the tournament for Foust
was a 4-3 victory over Preston Brubaker from Columbus Grove
in the 113 pound semifinals. In the championship match, Foust
dropped a 6-3 decision to Kobe Cunningham of L.C.C.
Binkley also breezed through the opening rounds with a
pin of Parkways Noah Joseph and a 16-0 tech-fall victory
over Andrew Meyer of Coldwater. In the 170-pound sectional
championship bout, Binkley fell by a slim margin of 4-3 to
Tyler Ebbeskotte of O-G.
Also moving on for the Wildcats were Wyatt Place with a
5-0 decision over Cody Tebbe of Coldwater to finish third at
138 and Lane Bennett landed in fourth in the 182-pounders.
Returning State qualifier Brett Vonderwell finished in the
second spot for St. Johns at 160. Vonderwell who returned
to the mat last month after suffering a broken femur bone in
football pinned Jeffersons David Grant in the first round.
Vonderwell recorded his second pin in the quarterfinals over
Clayton Bollenbacher of Parkway and moved onto the finals
7-1 over Titan Danny Rosales. In the finals, Vonderwell met
Midwest Athletic Conference foe Grant Kaiser of Coldwater
and dropped a heart-breaking 2-1 decision.
Blue Jay Evyn Pohlman fought back from an opening-round
loss by pinning Spencervilles Peyton Ford and Caleb Schultz
of Wayne Trace in the consolation rounds. Pohlman placed
third in the 152-pound bracket with a 3-0 decision over Grant
Goecke in the finals.
Spencerville Bearcat Caleb Sutherland advanced to districts
with a second-place finish at 220 pounds. Sutherland wasted
little time in the opening rounds, scoring pins in 2:10 and 3:20.
In the finals, Coldwater strong man Zach Klosterman defeated
Sutherland 14-4.
Fellow Bearcat Cody Dickson placed third in the 145-pound
division with a pin of Logan Balbaugh in the finals with a time
of 2:23. Dickson suffered a close 9-8 loss to Luke Brown in the
semifinals but bounced back with a pin of Hunter Showalter in
the consolation round.
Columbus Grove will be represented next week in Troy by
Andrew Nichols and Preston Brubaker. Nichols lost to OttawaGlandorfs Daniel Beemer 9-3 in the finals of the 182-pound
class to finish runner-up. The Bulldog wrestler advanced to
the finals with an opening-round pin and defeated Parkways
Peyton Hamrick 6-3 in the semifinals. Brubaker opened the
competition with a pin before dropping the semifinal match to
Foust. Brubaker bounced back with another pin to advance to
the final round by fell 5-4 to Coldwaters Justin Sigler to place
fourth at 113 pounds.

BLUFFTON North Baltimores

girls basketball team had broken a 7-year
tournament losing string when they beat
Fort Jennings Tuesday at the Bluffton
High School Division IV Sectional.
The third-seeded Lady Tigers tried to
add to that winning streak as they battled
seventh-seeded St. Johns in Saturday
nights second game.
The Lady Blue Jays stopped that idea
in a 57-47 dandy.
St. Johns (14-9) advance to tangle
with Leipsic in the 8 p.m. game Thursday
at the Ottawa-Glandorf District.
The Jays dominated the first two
periods in building a 23-10 halftime
edge and still led 38-26 heading into the
fourth.
Then they had to hold on for dear life
as the foul-plagued Tigers (21-3) they
committed 26 totals fouls, 20 the second
half made a game rally, getting within
49-47 before the Jays used 8-of-10 foul
shooting (15-of-18 in the fourth period;
25-of-31 for the game for 80.6%) in the
D-IV
After a span of two lead

changes and three tie the
last at 26-26 on a Hulihan trifecta, Dittos transition layin
at 1:56 gave the Jays the lead
for good at 28-26. Hulihans
bomb out of the left corner
at 1:15 accounted for a 31-26
halftime scoreboard.
The game reverted to
form in the second half as
the defenses took over and
the offenses combined for
3-of-19 shooting. The Jays
only fielder came from
junior Owen Rode, while
Unverferth and Verhoff had
Musketeers
final 1:02 to win comfortably.

The Jays were led by the inside duo
of seniors Lexie Hays (19 counters - 2
bombs, 9-of-10 at the line - 6 rebounds,
5 assists) and Sydney Fischbach (16
counters 8-of-8 at the line - 12
boards.
They outrebounded the taller Tigers
32-22 (12-8 offensive).
North Baltimore was topped by 11
each from senior Olivia Frost (4 blocks)
and freshman Alivia Light (both with 3
treys).
We showed tremendous patience
against their zone, with good ball movement. We had some good shots because
of it, St. Johns head coach Dan J.
Grothouse said. We hit the free throws
we had. We work on that every day but
it has been a struggle most of the year to
be consistent from there.
The teams traded early leads: Lights
drive at 6:26 was countered by a 3-ball
from St. Johns Madilynn Schulte, only
to see Frost answer with her own three
for a 5-3 edge at the 5-minute mark. The
Tigers did not score the rest of the stanza, turning it over six times (16 total)
and missing three shots and two foul
Kalidas two made shots. The

difference was the Jays were
4-of-6 at the line (11-of-18
total for 61.1%) to Kalidas
0-of-2 (4-of-9 for the game
for 44.4%). When senior
Ryan Hellman hit a pair from
the free-throw line at 41.4
ticks, the Jays led 37-30.
Two Wurst singles 13 ticks
into the fourth gave the Jays
their biggest lead of 9 before
the game tensed up. Kalida
began to try and apply more
pressure on the younger Jays
and rally. They forced four
turnovers and slowly cobbled
the deficit down to 41-40 on a
triple from the right corner by
After the Big Greens Nick Moorman

hit a 3-pointer to tie the game at
42-42 with 1:29 left in regulation, the
Musketeers decided to play for the final
shot calling a timeout with 14.9 seconds
left. Berelsman took a 3-pointer from the
right corner just before the buzzer that
was off the markm forcing overtime.
In the first overtime, Ft. Jennings
senior Drew Grone scored four quick
points for a 46-42 lead. Ottoville sophomore Nick Moorman answered back
with six straight points for a 48-46 lead
as the Big Green would not trail again
in the first extra session. Ottoville had
a 54-50 lead with 20 seconds left after
a free throw by Rudy Wenzlick before
Musketeer sophomore Brandon Wehri
drained a 3-pointer from the left corner
with 10.3 seconds left. After a Musketeer
timeout, Moorman was fouled on the
inbounds play and sank both free throws
for a 3-point Ottoville lead. With time
running out, the Musketeers again
looked for Wehri and he drained another
crucial 3-pointer from the top of the key
as time expired.
Brandon played a whale of a second half and both overtime periods,
Utendorf said. We got on him a little
bit in the locker room asking him what
happened the first half. It took him a

Wenzlick for a 62-59 Ft. Jennings lead.
After Wehris final free throws, sophomore Zane Martin tied the game with
1:32 left with a three point play.

the Musketeers decided to play for the

give his team the lead. Ottoville did not
have a timeout left and time ran out on
their season.
I guess I should have been smarter the
first time and let them run at, Utendorf
said with a smile. I just figured I didnt
want to give them (Ottoville) a chance
to reset their defense and do something
different. Our kids kind of got confused
the first time in that situation. We wanted to play it out and see what happened
and whatever happened happened. Its
a credit to our kids, they executed. It
probably wasnt the
initial shot we were
thinking, but Alex

shots. The Jays took the lead for good at

3:38 on a hoop-and-harm by Fischbach
and their patience against the 1-2-2 zone
of the Tigers paid off with an 11-5 lead
via a deuce by Hays at 38 seconds.
North Baltimore continued its
drought until the 5-03 mark of the second period when Light downed a triple.
By that time, St. Johns had a 16-8 edge
and they continued to build on that lead,
eventually taking a 23-10 halftime lead
on a Hays trifecta at 1:29.
The Jays then took advantage of
some serious Tiger foul trouble 11
fouls in the third period alone by
going to the line 10 times and hitting
eight. With several Tigers with three and
two with four, the Blue and Gold built a
38-23 edge on two Fischbach freebies at
8.1 ticks before Light buried a left-wing
triple at 1.1 ticks for a 38-26 Blue Jay
advantage.
The Tigers gained a sense of urgency
in the finale and steadily chipped away
at the deficit. They put the Jays at the
line 18 times and they hit 15 (Hays 7-of8, Fischbach 5-of-6 and Rachel Pohlman
(3-of-4).
made a great play to get a shot and it

went in.
This was a good game both ways.
Someone had to lose, Ottoville coach
Todd Turnwald said. Both teams played
well. It was a good basketball game. We
thought we did a good job defensively.
We held them to 3-of-15 from 3-point
range, but they hit two big, well-contested 3s late to tie the game. Our kids
played well.
Wehri led the Musketeers with a
game-high 26 points as 14 of his points
came at the free throw line. Connor
Stechschulte and Drew Grone both had
10 points. Berelsman had just the two
points.
Martin led the Big Green with 20
points and Moorman added 19.

Grove dispels Wildcat girls Lady Green erupts

versus Miller City
BY JIM METCALFE
BLUFFTON Jefferson
and Columbus Groves girls
basketball teams had already
played each other once in
2015-16.
That was way back on
Dec. 17, when the Lady
Bulldogs won 63-37.
The Lady Wildcats hoped
that Saturdays rematch in the
opening game of the Bluffton
University Division III
Sectional inside the Sommer
Center would be a revenge.
Poor shooting and 33
turnovers made that dream
a nightmare as the fourthranked Lady Bulldogs
grabbed a 60-24 rout.
Grove (21-2) advance to
tangle with Coldwater 6:15
p.m. Thursday at the Elida
District.
The Wildcats, who finished the season 12-12, shot
a polar 8-of-32 from the floor
1-of-11 downtown for
25 percent and compounded
that with the turnovers.
Turnovers just killed us.
We didnt play that bad on
defense but our offensive
execution didnt give us a
chance, Jefferson mentor
Dave Hoffman, coaching
his 750th game as the Lady
Wildcat coach. We were too
much in a rush against their
pressure and it led to them
getting easier shots against
our defense. We started out
OK but we couldnt keep it
up. They hit some outside
shots and that opened up the
inside for them because we
defended them pretty well for
a half.

(6 boards) was the only
Wildcat in double digits with
10.

Media/Jim Metcalfe)
The balanced Bulldogs
put three in twin figures with
Jade Clement canning 16,
Lynea Diller 14 (6 caroms)
and Kyrah Yinger (5 boards,
5 dimes) 10.
It took us a while to get
going; we had a typical first
tournament game jitters. As
those went away, we played
our typical balanced offense
and good defense, Grove
head man Brian Schroeder
said. What happened was
our pressure got the game
into the tempo we like.
Jefferson did a good job of
defending our big girls but
we hit some outside shots
and made a determined effort
to go inside the second half.
Jefferson, who defeated
Paulding Tuesday, stayed
close with the favored
Bulldogs most of the first
period. However, Groves
2-2-1 full-court pressure and
2-3 zone with the backing
of the 6-1 Diller and 5-11
Paige Bellman began to
force turnovers and helped
open up the offense. They led

from the start on an opening
bomb by Clement (8 points in
the period, 2 threes) and took
a 14-8 edge on a foul shot by
Diller at 40.4 ticks.
The pressure the Bulldogs
exerted took an even bigger toll on the Wildcats in
the second period, forcing 13
errors. Though the Bulldogs
shot 5-of-14, Jefferson could
only manage 2-of-6 shooting. Thus, Grove (who had
7 turnovers of their own in
the stanza and 19 total) and
its lead kept climbing and
reached 27-11 on a Clement
layin off a steal at 3:02 before
Jefferson got a pair of throws
from Devyn Carder (4 markers) at 2:26 and a steal-and-layin by senior Taylor Stroh (6
rebounds) at 1:38 to get within 27-15.
The teams traded baskets
Bellman (7:45) and Miller
(7:05) to commence the
third period but that would be
Jeffersons last points until a
foul shot by Mikayla Bennet

Both Worlds!!!
at 3:25. A Clement basket

began a 14-1 spurt to finish off the stanza and when
Yinger found herself all alone
under the rim for a layup
at 3.1 ticks it gave Grove a
43-18 edge.
The biggest lead of the
night came at 60-20 late in
the fourth on a 3-ball by
Groves Mackenzie Wurth
as the coaches went to the
deeper reserves with four
Jefferson seniors: Stroh,
Pimpas, Tori Black and
Bailey Gorman taking one
final bow as time wound
down.
Jefferson finished 7-of-9
at the foul line (77.8%); with
26 caroms (5 offensive); and
at 13 fouls.

On the other end, NB forced

five turnovers (15 overall) and
Frost netted eight (2 treys)
and Lacey Powell seven. Her
basket at 1:28 got the Tigers
within 49-47 before the Jays
final push at the charity stripe.
North Baltimore ended up
shooting 15-of-40 from the
field (9-of-22 beyond the arc)
for 37.5 percent and 8-of16 from the line (50%); and
grabbed 22 boards (8 offensive) as Light (5 assists) had
six and Katelyn Weinandy
four.
Our defense was magnificent; it was a great team
defensive effort. We let their
guards get away a couple of
times and they hit the shots
but not too often, Grothouse
added. For the most part,
we limited them to one shot
down the floor against a much
taller team. We boxed out very
well and got some of our own
second shots. Again, this was
a great team effort on both
ends.
St. Johns totaled 14-of-37
shooting (4-of-13 long range)
for 37.8 percent; secured 34
rebounds (12 offensive) as
Jessica Geise nabbed five; and
totaled 16 fouls.

FINDLAY Saturday evenings Division IV sectional

final was just another night at the office for the Ottoville girls
basketball team.
Taking control of the tempo early, the Lady Green were
able to run their game plan offensively and defensively without
much trouble against Putnam County League foe Miller City.
And when the Big Green had another 30-plus point second
quarter in the sectional tournament, that was all they needed to
get past the Wildcats 82-43 at Findlay High School.
Ottoville (22-2) advances to the Division IV district semifinals Thursday night at Ottawa-Glandorf where they will face
Leipsic (15-9) at 8 p.m. The first game Thursday has Arlington
playing Delphos St. Johns.
Miller City saw its season end at 12-12.
We like to push the pace, Ottoville coach Dave Kleman
said. The first half we played 10-11-12 kids. We had a couple
of kids get a couple of fouls, but we are deep enough where the
kids coming off the bench do a pretty good job. Our JV team
was 21-1 this year, so they are more than capable of playing.
They go up against our starters every night and get beat on so
they should get better.
Before the Big Green really got going, the Wildcats had a
2-0 lead on a Cassie Niese drive to the basket. The Big Green
were up 6-5 after a Niese 3-point play before Ottoville went on
a 9-o run behind four points from Bridget Landin, a 3-pointer
by CJ Kemper and a Brooke Mangas basket for a 15-5 lead.
Ottoville had a 15-6 lead after one as the Wildcats Megan
Warnimont ended the first-quarter scoring with a free throw.
It was the second quarter where Ottoville made their stand,
outscoring the Wildcats 32-14, despite sitting three starters
and a sub because of two fouls each. The Big Green started the
quarter with an 8-2 run, then later in the quarter had runs of 7-0
and 9-0 to break the game open. Kemper and Mangas both had
seven points in the quarter for the Big Green as seven different
Big Green players scored in the quarter.
While the Ottoville offense was scoring points, the Big
Greens fullcourt pressure gave Miller City fits forcing 21
first-half Wildcat turnovers in building a 47-20 halftime lead.
Their defense tonight, by an opposing team against us as
long as Ive been coaching, was probably one of the best performances Ive ever seen, Wildcat coach Chris Rump said. I
told Dave that after the game. I told our girls that in the locker
room. When a team comes out and plays that well defensively
and they have three girls 5-11, 6-0, 6-1 and one or two more off
the bench, that is a luxury. To their credit, I thought they were
really good tonight. When a defense is that good you start to
press a little bit, get out of rhythm and we didnt run very good
offense the first half because of their press.
The Wildcats also faced their share of foul problems as four
players had at least two fouls each and one four. A total of 25
fouls were called the first half.
Ottoville continued to play their game in the third quarter,
outscoring the Wildcats 26-11. Four different players in the
quarter hit 3-pointers for the Big Green as eight players scored
points in the quarter.
What we do affects teams mentally, Kleman said. And
thats what we are trying to do when we play teams. We shot
the ball extremely well and when you do that it is quite enjoyable to watch and coach.
In the final quarter Miller City posted a 12-9 scoring advantage.
Kemper led three Ottoville players in double digits with 14
points, while Alicia Honigford had 12 and Bridget Landin 10.
Nicole Kramer, with three 3-pointers, Mangas and Thorbahn
all had nine points.
Cassie Niese led the Wildcats with 11 points. Megan Niese
and Megan Warnimont both had six points.

Students studying alternative energy sources

FORT JENNINGS For the past couple
of months, students in the Fort Jennings
Environmental Science class have been
studying alternative energy sources. They
have been researching and experimenting
with wind power, solar power, and hydrogen
fuel cell power. In the last couple of weeks
they have turned their attention to fuels produced from biomass. Two such fuels include
biodiesel and ethanol. The students have
been able to actually produce these fuels
in the lab collaborating with the chemistry
class at Fort Jennings to do so.
According to Environmental Science
teacher Jeff Jostpille, a lot of the equipment
needed to produce these labs was obtained
through a grant awarded last fall through
the Ohio Corn Marketing Program. Jostpille
was a participant last summer in a workshop
that the Program sponsored called Feeding
the World where topics such as ethanol
production, increasing corn yields, water
quality testing, and soil nutrient testing were
discussed and explained. As part of the program, participants were given the chance to
apply for a grant that would make use of the
knowledge and ideas from the workshop.
The $1,000 grant was then used to purchase
the supplies and equipment required for the
lab experiments.
Working with Chemistry teacher Heather
Harmon, the two classes combined their
knowledge of the topics to successfully create ethanol and biodiesel. Ethanol is a part of
gasoline in almost all the fuel at our filling
stations. It is less polluting when burned.
Approximately 40 percent of the corn crop
in the United States is used to produce ethanol. Modern ethanol production can produce
approximately 2.8 gallons of fuel ethanol
per bushel of corn. The ethanol production
process uses only the starch portion of the
corn, which is about 70 percent of the kernel. All the remaining nutrients: protein, fat,
minerals, and vitamins, are concentrated into
distillers grain, a valuable feed for livestock.
The Fort Jennings students prepared two
different setups for their experiment. One
Abby VonSossan, Connor Stechschulte and Quinton Neidert patiently wait on the distillation process.
The fermented corn mash that can be used as animal feed. (Submitted photos)
goes back to the next generation of soybean

plants who use it in photosynthesis to produce more oil. The Fort Jennings students
used virgin vegetable oil. When the alcohol,
methanol, is mixed with the catalyst, sodium
hydroxide, and vegetable oil is added, the oil
is broken down into the byproduct glycerin
and biodiesel.
The students then tested their biodiesel
for soap content. Unwashed biodiesel contains a certain amount of soap. The amount
depends on several factors, including the
the free fatty acid content of the original oil
and the amount of moisture present during
the production process. If too much soap
remains, the fuel cannot be used safely without the risk of engine damage or fuel filter
clogging.
Having the ability in a lab situation to
produce these kinds of real world applications is a great learning tool, Jostpille and
Harmon said. And being able to work together, in a crosscurricular way, was beneficial to
both classes of students.
used cracked corn while the other used corn

meal. In the process, different enzymes are
added to break down the starch into simple
sugars. Then yeast is added to take those
sugars and convert them to alcohol. The corn
mash is then filtered and the liquid is added
to the distiller. A very slow heating process
is applied and the ethanol evaporates to a gas
where it is forced into a cooling tube where
it condenses back to liquid and is captured
in a flask. This must happen at temperatures
between 173-212 degrees F. If the temperature gets above 212F, then water will evaporate and contaminate the ethanol.
The students found that the corn meal
produced more alcohol due to the larger
surface area available for the enzymes and
the yeast.
The two classes also worked on producing
Biodiesel. Typically, biodiesel is made from
soybeans or used oils such as fryer oil from
a restaurant. Biodiesel burns cleaner than
diesel made from fossil fuels and is renewable since the carbon produced in burning it

"FM Channels"
By Ed Clark
The music that moves us ...
AhhThose One Hit Wonders. In our sea of

music lies a designated harbor of songs, memorable songs, from artists you may not be familiar
with. A few one hit wonder-fuls from the 60s, 70s,
and 80s.
80s artist: The Romantics
I hear the secrets that you keep
When youre talking in your sleep
Talking In Your Sleep
Chart Peak #3 1984
Romantics lead singer Jimmy Marinos talks
about the song: That was the last song recorded
for the album In Heat. All we had was a backtrack,
the instrumental part of the song. And we realized
it was too good a track to leave unfinished. So
everybody put their heads together, and in a couple of days, we finished up the song melodically
and lyrically.
70s artist: Looking Glass
The sailors say Brandy, youre a fine girl
What a good wife you would be
Brandy (Youre a Fine Girl)
Chart Peak #1 1972
The members of the band Looking Glass
are all alumni of Rutgers University and were
a flashback feature in the 2009 Rutgers alumni
magazine. The No. 1 hit landed them on American
Bandstand. The band broke up a few years after
this smash hit yet the airplay of the song continues
today on countless oldies stations.
60s artist: Jeannie C Riley

The day my momma socked it to, the
Harper Valley PTA
The day my momma socked it to, the
Harper Valley PTA
Harper Valley PTA
Chart Peak #1 (both Pop & Country chart)
1968
Tom T Hall, this songs writer, has stated that
the inspiration for the song came from passing
by the Harpeth Valley Elementary School (still
educating students today) in Bellevue, Tennessee,
near where he then lived in Franklin. This would
be Country singer Jeannie Rileys only big hit and
a song that, hard as you may try, just wont go
away. Good Vibrations.

Epic Vapes joins Delphos

Area Chamber of Commerce
Epic Vapes has celebrated its Grand Opening of the newest store located at 109 E.
Second St., Delphos and joined the Delphos Area Chamber of Commerce. Similar to
its other locations, the Delphos store has been designed to include tasting bars where
patrons can test the wide array of premium e-liquids while socializing with other vapers. Epic Vapes also boasts a pharmaceutical-grade, clean mixing lab where all of the
e-liquids are mixed to ensure product quality and purity. Nate Geise, co-founder of Epic
Vapes, added, We use only the finest, FDA-approved ingredients and offer some of
the most innovative e-liquid flavor combinations on the market. We also offer a broad
selection of high quality personal vaporizer and accessories for both the novice and
experienced users at incredibly competitive prices. Since opening the first retail location in Fort Wayne, Indiana, in July 2014, Epic Vapes has grown their retail footprint
to Van Wert, Wapakoneta, St Marys and now Delphos. This expansion plan includes
additional stores to open in Napoleon and Findlay within the next two months. Participating in the ribbon-cutting are, from left, Chamber Board member Janet Metzger,
Epic Vapes Co-founder Nate Geise; Epic Vapes Manager Kirk Sneed, Co-founder Mike
Geise, Chamber Executive Director Tara Krendl and Chamber Board member Anita
Lindeman. (DHI Media/Nancy Spencer)
Six simple tips to help improve your credit

BY JOSH MILLER
Western & Southern Life
A credit card is a simple
fact of life for most adults.
Are you making airline reservations? Booking a hotel
room? Renting a car? Youll
probably need a credit card to
do so, even if you plan to use
cash to pay. Some employers
even use credit reports when
deciding whom to hire. If
your credit score isnt so great
(less than 600), youre probably paying higher interest on
many transactions. You may
potentially even incur higher auto and home insurance
rates. Are you ready to start
improving your credit score?
Here are some simple tips.
Tip #1: Pay the big debts
down first.
Are any of your credit
cards at or close to their maximum? Pay them down first.
Credit bureaus like to deduct

points from your score whenever your balance exceeds
50 percent of your available
credit limit. Better yet? Pick a
card with a high balance and
high interest to pay off first.
Tip #2: Pay your bills. On
time. Always.
Once youve demonstrated
your ability to pay on time for
a while, youll see your score
creep up.
Tip #3: Consider keeping
unused credit cards.
You didnt misread it. Is
your debt high? Dont start
canceling unused credit cards.
Doing so will only cause your
debt-to-credit ratio (see Tip
#1) to creep up in the short
term. Pay down your debt
first, and then cancel your
unused cards.
Tip #4: If your credit score
is less than 600, or if you have
no credit history, consider a

secured credit card.
These credit cards are tied
to a savings account that you
fund. The savings account is
actually security for the card,
so if your bill goes unpaid
the account can be tapped by
creditors to cover the debt.
Tip #5: Dont be in the
dark!
Regularly check your
credit report for free. Each
of the three credit bureaus
(Equifax, TransUnion and
Experian) are required to
provide you with one credit
report each year for free. Visit
AnnualCreditReport.com to
learn more.
Tip #6: Try to be patient.
Improving your credit takes time and patience.
Youve taken the first step so
youre heading in the right
direction!
Cutting your medical

bills via Smartphone
BY NATHANIEL
SILLIN
What if your next doctors
visit could happen by smartphone from anywhere in the
world? It could happen sooner than you think.
Its called telemedicine,
or telehealth: The use of
Internet-connected devices
to communicate information
about diseases, symptoms and
other health data. The Patient
Protection and Affordable
Care Act (ACA) is driving
innovators in healthcare and
technology to develop apps
and devices that offer greater access to healthcare products and services at a lower
cost. In fact, the global telehealth market is expected to
grow from $440.6 million in
2013 to $4.5 billion by 2018,
according to Colorado-based
research firm IHS.
How could this affect you?
Though apps that measure
everything from your daily
walk or run to your heart
rate are already available, an
incredible range of options
are coming. Here are some of
the current and future product
development trends in smartphone and wearable healthcare:
Physical activity and
vitals tracking. While many
major health systems and hospitals allow you to download
apps that let you schedule
appointments, see lab results
and even communicate
by email or text with your
doctor, such offerings have
no diagnostic value yet.
However, the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration recently
released policy statements on
what it calls mobile medical
apps that will actually allow
tracking of vital health data
for direct interpretation by

trained health professionals.
GPS Medicine. Lets say
you need to fill a prescription
and you want to know the
cheapest place to buy it within a 10-mile radius of your
office. Using technology similar to the restaurant, movie
and service-finding sites you
probably use now, developers
are considering similar models for medical supply and
service pricing data that could
save you money in real time.
Diagnosis by selfie. Who
knew taking a selfie could
help improve your health?
This new technology allows
patients to take a photo of
a non-life-threatening injury or rash using their cell
phones
(http://www.wsj.
com/articles/the-future-ofmedicine-is-in-your-smartphone-1420828632). Then,
an algorithm processes the
image, evaluates it and
texts back the diagnosis.
Developers are coming up
with sensors to collect symptom- and condition-related health data, which could
mean that in the future, physicians will have a lot more to
work with than a mere photo.
Virtual appointments.
Healthcare legislation is also
expected to spur use of handheld devices to create 24/7,
real-time communication
between patients and practitioners for the cost of a co-pay
or less. In a 2014 report,
consulting firm Deloitte said
that there would be 100 million health eVisits globally, potentially saving over $5
billion in costs compared to
those incurred by traditional
physician visits.
But before you start downloading this new technology,

research the following:

Who made the app and
what do the developers really
know about my condition?
What about privacy?
Whats in the apps usage
agreement and how safe is
the payment, prescription or
medical data required to use
the app?
What does my primary care doctor or my insurer think about me using this
app? Could using it affect my
coverage in any way?
What does it really cost
to use the app and how might
it affect data charges on my
smartphone or tablet bill?
Bottom line: The ability
to manage your healthcare by
smartphone is a revolutionary
concept. But before you dive
in head first, learn as much as
you can about the technology and whether your current
health professionals and networks support it.

Fund monies. Coleman said a fee of $1.35 per
water customer will pay for the new system.
Reading costs to the city per year would
drop from $9,000 using coupon booklets and
pencils to $2,196 with the automated system.
Coleman said he and Mayor Michael
Gallmeier had talked to six different companies that provide automated reading systems
and he and the mayor will visit several towns
in Ohio that are currently using an automated
system to gather more information.
Per ordinances passed in 2014, residents
will see a .7 percent increase in their water
and sewer rates beginning with the May
billing. The rate adjustment is based on the
Consumer Price Index, which increased .7
percent in 2015.
Coleman also reported bids were received
for the upgrades to the walking path
around the Delphos-Gillmor Reservoir. An
$18,000 donation from the Mueller-Scherger
Foundation sought by The Delphos Stadium
Club will provide the matching funds for the
$22,007 Natureworks Grant awarded to the
city earlier this year.
Coleman said the plan is to re-grade the
existing aggregate, add four inches of Ohio
Department of Transportation aggregate and
remove vegetation from the reservoir walkway.

tion. Bridges over Flat Fork Creed on East

First, East Third and East Seventh streets have
been deemed deficient by the Allen County
Engineers Office. The city will seek 80/20
grants and monies from the Municipal Bridge
Program to help trim the citys 20 percent.
If we receive Municipal Bridge Program
funds, that could knock the citys match down
to 5 percent, Gallmeier said.
The First Street bridge is in the most need
of repair.
Theres no immediate danger to someone
driving over these bridges, Coleman added.
They just need to be kept up.
In other action, council passed on emergency a resolution requesting the State of
Ohio Parole Board deny parole to Robin C.
Bender, the man responsible of the murders
of Louis and Kenneth Youngpeter on July 17,
1974. The citys resolution states: Delphos
Council wishes to register its objection, in the
strongest terms possible, to any early release
of Mr. Bender to protect the safety and security of our community and its residents.
The resolution will be taken by a representative to the parole hearing on March 8.
Council also heard on first reading a resolution authorizing the mayor and/or safety service director to prepare and submit an application to participate in the Local Government
Innovation Fund in the amount of $100,000
for the radio read water meters.
Council passed on third reading an ordinance allowing the mayor and/or safety service director to purchase materials and commodities necessary for the operation of the
citys various departments.

Mill
Odenweller is the fourth

generation to manage the
business, now in its third
century of operation.
The history of mill goes
back to the late 1800s when
a flour mill was built near
Lock 28 of the Miami-Erie
Canal in Ottoville, which ran
from Toledo to Cincinnati.
This canal made generating
power using a water wheel
both convenient and economical.
In an news article
Odenweller said only one
shipment of flour was
moved by boat.
When navigation on the
canal ceased in the early
1900s the mill was converted to electricity
In the early years, flour
from the mill was delivered
to local merchants by team
and wagon. Later trucks
were used.
In the mid-1940s the
company changed from
milling flour to manufacturing feed.
It was in 1990, when
the Odenweller took on the
Kent Feed line. In 1999 they
painted the old mill Kent
Feed yellow and gave it a
new Kent Feed red roof.
Local historian Millie
Ruen said they shipped on
the canal until a narrow
gauge railroad was built.
The railroad was used to
haul the grain until 1917
when the railroad was abandoned. Trucks were then
used to haul the grain.

and Macy Poling, third place. All three are from Delphos City Schools (DHI Media/Nancy

What the Flag
Means to Me
By Elyse North
Age: 10-11
1st place
I will most importantly be
talking about what the flag
means to me, as well as what
it stands for.
The flag means to me
bravery. I think of all the
people who died protecting
America. Beginning with the
Revolutionary War up until current times, patriots have died
so that we may all live free.
We fought against the British
to become independent, then
we fought against ourselves in
the Civil War, we have fought
against Communism and now,
we are fighting terrorism. All
so our country and people will
remain free and live in our
democracy.
The flag is very important,
hopefully to everyone, because
it is one of the most important
symbols in American History.
The United States flag has a colorful history and has undergone
26 design changes since the
first flag in 1777, who knows
will it ever change again?
The first flag made was on
June 14, 1777 in Philadelphia.
The person who made it was
Betsy Ross, she made it during
the Revolutionary War. The flag
is supposed to represent liberty,
justice, and faith. Of course,
it does with full respect but to
me it means a little more than
that. To me it means freedom.
Freedom to choose for myself,
whether its who I can vote for,
where I can live or what religion I choose to follow.
The flag also reminds me of
every state and the difference
things that make them unique.
From Maine to California, t
here are so many differences
and yet we all are Americans,
under one flag.
This is what our American
flag means to me. I want everyone to stop and think what does
the flag mean to you.
God, Flag and Country
By MaKya Miller
Age: 10-11
2nd place
God, Flag and Country can
simply be explained by using
a four-leaf clover. These four
leaves are believed to represent
faith, hope, love and luck. In
this case, I feel it goes hand in
hand with a representation of
God, Flag and Country. With
God there is faith, with our
country we need hope. We
have love for our flag, and
with a little luck, we the people
can come together as one to
become the stem that holds it
all together.
The first leaf for me is
God. God is a powerful spirit
who died on the cross for us. I
believe that going to church and
spreading Gods word is what
helps the world go around. We
learn in religion that you should
do unto others as you would
want them to do unto you. This
is one simple thing that you can

do to create peace in the world
and make our stem stronger.
The next leaf for me is flag.
The flag is made up of 50
stars which stand for the 50
states. There are 13 red and
white stripes that stand for the
13 original colonies. They say
the red stripes stand for the
bloodshed of our soldiers who
fought and lost their lives for
our freedom. The white stripes
stand for equality and the blue
for brotherhood. To me, the
colors stand for blue skies,
campfires in the summer, and
white clouds. I love our flag
because I feel it brings color to
our country.
The third leaf is country.
Because we believe in God and
we raise our flags high, we are
able to bring hope to our country. We are able to travel and see
places like the Statue of Liberty
to the Golden Gate Bridge and
everything in between. We can
play in the sand or walk on the
beach. We can go swimming or
sit around the campfire because
we are free.
The last leaf is luck. As you
may know, a four leaf clover is
known for luck. It is very rare.
Our country is very rare too
because we are free while other
countries arent as lucky as
we are today. So whether you
believe in God, luck, or a little
bit of both, lets see if together
we can make our world shine.
Lets stand together to become
the stem of our four-leaf clover.
God, Flag, Country and Luck!
Four Chaplains

Do you believe in God? I
hope everyone believes in God.
Are you willing to sacrifice
your life for the possibility that
a fellow man may survive? I
believe the answer to this question depends on the strength
of your relationship with God.
I want to tell you the story of
four men that their belief in
God was so strong they made
the ultimate sacrifice.
On a cold and windy
morning, as February 3, 1943
began nearly a thousand soldiers were traveling across the
Atlantic ocean on the USAT
Dorchester. These men were
going to Europe to sacrifice
their life to fight the Germans
during World War 2. Little did
they know how soon that sacrifice was going to begin. As 2
torpedoes hit the ship, the chaos
of the war immediately started.
However, this would also be
the final, great act of a small
group of men, known as the
Four Chaplains.
As t he USAT Dorchester
began to sink, the Four
Chaplains tried to bring calm
and control to the ship. With
young men confused and
scared, the four friends who
had previously met at Harvard
University, handed out life
jackets. When they ran out of
life jackets the Four Chaplains

removed theirs and gave them
away. One of the four men
even gave away his gloves to
someone just so they wouldnt
go back into the ship. The Four
Chaplains continued to help the
young men by directing them
safely to the lifeboats. The Four
Chaplains then linked their
arms together and prayed and
sang as they went down with
the ship. One survivor said,
It was the finest thing I have
seen or hope to see this side of
Heaven.
That night only 230 people survived, and four of
those among the dead were
Lieutenant George Fox,
Lieutenant Alexander Goode,
Lieutenant John Washington,
and Lieutenant Clark V. Poling.
These men were from different
religions, but they all worshiped
and loved the same God. It was
the love for God that determined the final actions the Four
Chaplains took that night. One
of Reverend Polings last quest
was his father, Reverend Daniel
Poling, to pray for him, not
for his safe return, but that he
would be strong and do his job
with courage. When these men
sacrificed their lives to save
others, God answered Clarks
prayer request. Through my
grandfathers family research,
Im proud to say that Reverend
Clark Poling is a distant relative
of mine, and I hope that when
I meet God our relationship is
as strong as Gods relationship
was with the Four Chaplains.
Indestructible
By Nicholas Curth
Age: 12-13
First place
Everyone knows that diving on a live hand grenade to
save your friends is the most
selfless, heroic act of valor that
any human being can perform.
It takes a special kind of person to come face-to-face with
their own destruction, trading
in the most precious thing a
human has to offer their
life so that others might live.
Im talking about Jacklyn H.
Lucas, who jumped on not one,
but two grenades, to save his
friends and lived.
Jack Lucas was born on
Valentines Day in 1928 in
North Carolina. Things were
going fine until December 7,
1941. While other kids his age
were goofing around, he convinced the public that he was
seventeen and hitched a ride
to the nearest Marine Corps
Recruiting Station. He forged
his moms signature on the
enlistment paperwork and was
shipped off to Parris Island for
US Marine Corps Boot Camp.
He made it through some
of the toughest training that the
US military has to offer, and
was made a Marine at age fourteen. He first was assigned to
manual labor training. He was
disappointed at this assignment
so he abandoned his station and
hitched a ride to Pearl Harbor.
Winners in the 12-13-year-olds are, from left, Nicholas Curth, first place; Catherine
Kopack, second place; and Rileigh Rahrig, third place. Kopack is from Van Wert. The
first-place winner in each age group will move on to the district competition held at 2 p.m.
March 20 at the Delphos Eagles.
After getting in trouble several
times, he snuck onto a military
transport ship to the front lines.
Of the 40,000 Marines who
attack the beach at Iwo Jima,
Private Jack Lucas was one
of the only infantrymen who
assaulted the beachhead without a weapon. He changed that
pretty quickly. He grabbed one
off the surf and charged into
battle. He ran and caught up
to a 4-man fire team. Just then,
Jack saw the grenade at his
feet and threw his body on it
instantly, yelling to the others
to get away. He saw another
one come within reach, grabbed
it, and stuffed it with the other.
A few seconds later, both
grenades went off, sending
hundreds of tiny nails, tacks,
and bullets into his body.
Shocked by what they just
saw, the four men fought even
more viciously and pushed the
Japanese back, capturing the
sector. When they went back to
take the tags off of their fallen
brother, they noticed that Jack
was not only still alive, but he
was still conscious.
After 21 surgeries, 250 pieces of shrapnel were removed
from every major organ in
his body. Just seven months
later, Jack Lucas personally
walked up to President Harry
S. Truman to receive a Medal
of Honor. That happened to
be just six days after his 17th
birthday. He was the youngest
Marine ever to earn the award.
I wish I had the chance to meet
that brave man. He truly was,
INDESTRUCTIBLE. I salute
you Jacklyn H. Lucas, and all
those who have served! Thank
you!
All Created Equal

Have you ever been treated
unjustly just because of who
you are? Think about it. How
did it make you feel? There was
a time in Americas past that
people were discriminated for
just being themselves. There
was nothing they could change.
Those people were not only
African-Americans, they were
women.
The Womens Suffrage

Movement began in 1848. The
National Womens Suffrage
Association was formed in
1869. The womens main goal
was to gain the right to vote.
The 15th amendment, ratified
on February 3, 1870, prohibits the denial of the right to
vote based on race or color.
How come this didnt apply to
women? This question remains
unanswered.
As a Catholic, I believe
God is the almighty ruler of
Earth. God created everyone
in the likeness of His image.
Martin Luther King Jr. said
in his world renown I Have
a Dream speech, I have a
dream that one day this nation
will rise up and live out the
true meaning of its creed: We
holds these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created
equal. You have to treat everyone equally if you want that to
be done unto you.
In 1920, almost 50 years
later, the 19th Amendment was
added to the constitution, granting women the right to vote!
Fast forward almost 100 years,
we now have a woman running
for president! Women have
come a long way since they
were given the right to vote.
Justice was given to women
finally! The government chose
to be unbiased and give justice
to those who deserve it.
In conclusion, women gaining the right to vote is just one
example of when justice was
given to those who worked for
it. We have to know that we
dont have to change our beliefs
just because someone says differently, just like these women
did. Thank you.
Equality
By Rileigh Rahrig
Age: 12-13
3rd place
When you think of equality,
do you think of everyone having the same rights? Do you
think of everyone getting to
do the same things or getting
treated the same way? No matter what you think when you
hear the word equality, there
isnt enough of it in todays
society. Too often do we look
at each other and think mean

thoughts or say unnecessarily
cruel words. We no longer treat
each other with the dignity and
respect that is needed for a
better environment to live in.
I feel that we need to go back
to a time when we treated each
other as the equals that we are.
Picture this: today is the first
day at school for a girl who just
moved into the city. She walks
into the classroom wearing her
favorite sweater and jeans and
takes her seat. The other girls
in the class turn and whisper
to each other about the new
girl. Before they even made an
effort to talk to her, they judged
her based on her looks and the
way she dressed.
Many people in todays
society just look at people and
already have their minds made
up about whether or not they
will like that person. We often
treat each other poorly when
we should be treating each
other as equals. If those girls
wouldve talked to the new girl,
they wouldve found out that
they have the same interests.
She could have become friends
with them easily if they would
have just given her a chance.
Many times, we think
that we are better than others
because we have more money
or more things than them, when
really, this means nothing at all.
As Albert Einstein once said,
Before God we are all equally wise, and equally foolish.
When he said this, he implied
that we should treat each other
how we want to be treated, or
follow the Golden Rule. There
is really no reason to treat each
other badly in the first place; we
are all different humans who
make mistakes.
I feel that, in the long run,
treating each other with appreciation for one another will
result in a better America. We
will live in a happier place
where people know and care
for their neighbors again. God
created us all as equals; I think
it is the time we start treating
each other like it.
