DELPHOS A large sewer adjustment

request was tabled by Delphos City Council
Monday with counselors seeking additional
information.
The property owner at 1200 Rose Avenue
requested an adjustment for a $1,222 water bill
and a $1,520 sewer bill. Notes on the accompanying paperwork gave councilman little information as to why the reading was so high and
water department employees indicate the next
reading was normal as were subsequent readings.
The request will be brought back before
council once more information is gathered.
Three other requests were approved, including $715 for 834 superior Street, where a leak
was found when working on the bathroom of the

home; $985 for 616 Clime St., where the owner
stated they purchased the home in December
2015 and didnt move in until Jan. 15 and found
the leak in a crawl space under the home; and
$741 for 420 S. Cass St., where a leak was
found when moving lines for home improvements. The adjustments were approved 4-3 with
Council President providing the tie-breaking
vote as Councilman Andy Daley was absent.
Councilmen Josh Gillespie, Joe Martz and Tom
Grothous each voted no on all three requests.
Safety Service Director Shane Coleman
updated council on two grants that are in
the works. The first is a Local Government
Innovation Fund grant for $100,000 to help
defray the cost of installing new water meters
and readers at $800,000.

DELPHOS The hall at the
Delphos Veterans of Foreign Wars Post
3035 was brimming with life as cancer
survivors and their caregivers celebrated another year at the annual Relay
for Life of Delphos Cancer Survivor
Dinner.
The group enjoyed music by local
band Deuces Wild, guest speaker Erin
Hardesty and a catered meal.
Hardesty spoke on her journey to
find her birth mother, who gave her
up after giving birth at the tender age

of 13.
Its all about choices, Hardesty
said. I chose to pursue my birth mother to find out my medical history.
What Hardesty found was dozens
of times she and her mothers paths
had crossed or nearly crossed as at
one time, they had lived in the same
block in Lima. Later in conversation,
Hardesty learned her mother was a
nurse at her oldest childs pediatricians
office and had vaccinated, weighed and
performed other duties for her own
grandchild without knowing it.
My mother was from Lima and
gave birth to me in Norfolk, Virginia,

Hardesty explained. She them came
back to Lima and lived and worked
there the rest of her life. At one time,
I had babysat for my cousins and the
brothers I had never met were probably
outside playing with them.
Hardesty said her choices were her
own but she had to look at how they
would affect her life, change her life
and how they would affect others in
her life.
Thats how choices work, she
said.

Fort Jennings sets sewer rates for outside of village

BY KAY LOUTH
DHI Media Staff Writer
klouth@delphosherald.com
FORT JENNINGS Inside rates versus
outside rates on sewer service was the first
topic up at the Fort Jennings Village Council
meeting Tuesday. Drew Fields, a resident
of the village, is building a barn outside
the village limits and wanted the councils
approval of the sale of a half-lot that would
give him access to his property outside of
the village and wanted to know the cost of
sewer service as well.
Council approved the sale of the half-lot

and after discussing the sewer rate, set it
as $10 a month, in addition to his in-village sewer rate. However, that $10 would
be counted times three or $30 a month as
required by village ordinance for use outside
of the village. This rate would apply to any
applicant in a similar situation. Since the
village has no control of property outside
of the village and does not collect any taxes
from outside users the times three ordinance
helps make up the difference.
The current village rate is $42 a month
and public entities pay more each month
than residential entities. For example, during

the school year, the school pays additional
fees but that drops to one fee during summertime. The American Legion, the restaurant and the church also pay additional fees.
Since pump prices have increased dramatically, from $4,000 to $9,000 in a short
period of time, Mayor Mike Smith said
the village is conducting a cost evaluation
during the summer to see if there is a need
to increase rates.
There is also a need to update or perhaps
replace some sewer tap-in lines and permit
information for a few residences in the vil-
lage. Village employees and the mayor are

tackling that task.
Stone has been freshly placed on the
playground at the village park and the
mayor said they look into building a concrete curb at the playground to define the
area and keep the stone in place. The mayor
also mentioned several trees that had recently been planted and had done well until a
flood came and probably killed the trees.
There was some discussion about replacing
the trees.

After almost 100 years in operation, New Delphos
Manufacturing will be vacated and locked April 30 after the
remaining manufacturing equipment, which went on the auction block Thursday, is removed. The plant at 102 S. Pierce
St., which has been a mainstay of Delphos industry since
1898, was bought in 1988 by Crunden Martin of St. Louis,
Mo. The company filed Chapter 11 in June 1990 and planned
to move its St. Louis operations to Delphos. However, the
company was unable to obtain the steel necessary for production and Crunden Martin President Jim Flynn closed the plant
Oct. 16, giving its employees just three hours notice.
Catholic Daughters of Americas Educational Chairman
Norma Reindel announced that poetry and poster contest winners have been selected. The winners will be announced and
honored with their parents and teachers at the May meeting.
Edna Jane Nolte, national regent, announced she received an
invitation from President Bush to a continental breakfast at
the Camp David Recreation Building and a barbecue lunch
at Laurel Lodge.
Band member Kim Jacomet of Delphos is looking forward
to playing her trumpet in the Lima Area Concert Band when
its three-concert series opens May 11. This is the third year
the 1983 St. Johns graduate has played trumpet, second part,

read and approved as read.
The trustees then reviewed
the bills and gave approval for

COLUMBUS Many young hunters found

success during Ohios 2016 youth spring wild
turkey season after 1,564 birds were harvested,
according to the Ohio Department of Natural
Resources (ODNR).
Hunters age 17 and under were eligible to
participate in the two-day season, April 16-17.
The total harvest was a slight decrease from
2015, when 1,589 wild turkeys were checked.
All participants were required to possess a
valid Ohio youth hunting license, a spring turkey permit and be accompanied by a non-hunting adult. The youth turkey season was open
statewide, with the exception of Lake La Su An
State Wildlife Area in Williams County, which
required a special hunting permit.
The youth spring turkey season is one of four
special youth-only hunting seasons designed
00172782
By Sherrod Brown
Senator for Ohio
by the ODNR Division of Wildlife to offer a

safe and productive early hunting experience
for young hunters. Special seasons are also set
aside for upland game, white-tailed deer and
waterfowl hunting opportunities.
The regular spring turkey season began on
Monday and closes Sunday, May 15. The spring
turkey season is open statewide except for Lake
La Su An Wildlife Area. Find more information
in the 2015-2016 Ohio Hunting and Trapping
Regulations, available where licenses are sold,
and at wildohio.gov.
During this years youth turkey hunt, 12 birds
were harvested in Putnam County, 11 in Allen
County and three in Hancock.
Ohios first modern day wild turkey season
opened in 1966 in nine counties, and hunters
checked 12 birds. The total number of harvested
turkeys topped 1,000 for the first time in 1984.
Turkey hunting was opened statewide in 2000.

Dont be anyone
but yourself
Jim Metcalfe
Have we turned
the corner with the
weather for our
spring sports teams?
Weve had some
gorgeous days to get
games and events
in, so, hopefully, the
answer is a resounding YES!
I, for one, would like this kind of weather all year round.
Unfortunately, thats not going to happen because, well, you
cant have what you want can you?
Just a couple of observations that I have seen in the games I
have done so far this spring that concern me: catching the ball
properly and running on all hit balls.
I have seen a few too many kids trying to catch fly balls and
pop-ups with one hand and more than a few drops as
well as not running out batted balls as if your life depended
on it.
I dont know if its simply something that constantly needs
to be re-inforced in young players after all, with many of
them having baseball and fast-pitch softball as their third sport,
it can be easy to forget the basics.
Plus, earlier this season and before, it was likely hard to
work on much of the fundamentals in the gym like high fly
balls and such.
Mistakes will be made, no question..
I do believe the major part of the problem is at the majorleague level.
How many of those guys catch with one hand using two
hands isnt cool in the pros! and dont hustle out their pop
flies?
Guess what, professional guys and gals: you ARE role models, whether you admit it or not!
Kids for good or ill want to Be Like Mike or look
like (fill in the blank) and that goes beyond the shoes, the
gloves and the other tools of any trade.
Understand, too, these pros are fantastic athletes with skills
that are flat-out amazing.
Its no question why the players are looked up to the way
they are with their incredible skill sets.
It isnt cool to be Mr./Mrs. Fundamental look how
many MLB players still strike out (way, way, WAY) too much
because they refuse to heed that ancient Greco-Roman-AngloSaxon proverb choke and poke with two strikes?
Its cool to swing out of your shoes!
I was young once as well; we all wanted to be like our
favorite players, be they Johnny Bench, Pete Rose, Joe Morgan
or Brooks Robinson.

third on a wild pitch, pulling

out an improbable 4-3 win.
Jace is one of our better
hitters, and hes been leading
off all year until this week,
Jefferson head coach Doug
Geary said. I felt pretty good
once we got a couple of guys
on; we just needed a big hit.
Offense was difficult to
come by from either team on
a cool and blustery evening.
The Lancers managed only
four hits, but broke through
early, scoring twice in the top
of the third.
Dustin Hale singled and
moved to second on an errant
pick-off throw. Jaden Youtsey
then dropped a bunt and
beat it out, but Jeffersons
throw went wild and Hale
came around to score. After
a passed ball moved Youtsey
to third, he came home on

Austin Leeths suicide
squeeze bunt for a 2-0 lead.
After Jefferson scored in
its half of the third, the run
coming on a walk, a wild
pitch, an error and a fielders
choice, the Lancers tacked
on another run in the fourth,
this one on Cole Schmersals
rocket to deep left field that
went for a run-scoring triple.
It was a tough day to hit
with the wind blowing in, but
we still hit some balls hard,
like Coles triple down the
left field line, Lincolnview
head coach Eric Fishpaw
said. I was happy with our
running game, and we tried
to be aggressive on a day like
this with the squeeze plays.
That was all the offense
Lincolnview could mus-
ter on Tuesday, as Mercer

was relieved by sophomore
Tyler Schrider and then
by Stockwell. The Wildcat
picthers retired 11 of the 12
batters following Schmersals
triple.
We kept the game close,
Geary said. We got good
starting pitching with Gage he had a slow start this year
with some arm issues, and we
got great relief behind him.
Though Jeffersons pitchers held the Lancers bat at
bay, the Wildcat offense
could get nothing going
against Lincolnview right
hander Derek Youtsey. The
senior struck out two in the
first inning, setting the tone
for what would be a 7-strikeout performance.

Minster run-rules Blue Jays

in MAC baseball activity
BY JIM METCALFE
DHI Media Sports Editor
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS St. Johns had been doing

pretty well during the first part of the 2016
baseball season as far as getting strong pitching, solid defense and enough hitting.
Not so lately, according to head coach
Jerry Jackson.
They had neither of them Tuesday afternoon as they endured an 11-1 rout versus
Midwest Athletic Conference foe Minster at
breezy Stadium Park.
Thats why we have a 4-game losing
streak because were not doing any of them
right now. There are three facets to the game
that you need to do well and were struggling
with all of them, Jackson explained. We
have to just move on. The good thing about
baseball is you usually dont have to wait
around long to get back on the field, unlike
other sports. Fortunately, we have a couple of
hours to think about this but I told the boys to
be ready to go with their A game tomorrow
against Bath; they are unbeaten as of their
game with Defiance tonight. Im disappointed
with the way were playing now but its a new
day tomorrow. We just have to start doing
what we had been.
Southpaw Jacob Youngpeter struggled with

his control, walking five batters in his 3-plus
innings and fanning four. He only gave up two
hits but ceded six runs (3 earned).
Minster senior Peter Falk went the distance
in an efficient 61-pitch (43 strikes) 2-hitter.
Youngpeter is one heck of a pitcher; he
carries himself very well and has a great
approach on the mound. You will see a lot in
the future from Jacob Youngpeter, Minster
mentor Mike Wiss commented. He was
impressive the first two innings but then the
walks started to come in on him; thats almost
par for the course with the way the weather
has been this spring and its uncertainty. Peter
threw well as a senior, as we expect; Jacob
will be that next year. Were a young team out
there and once we went through the lineup
once, we settled down and did what we needed to do at the plate, like being patient.
He hit Josh Nixon with two down in the
top of the first.
The Jays (4-4, 0-2) challenged Falk in
the bottom of the inning via a leadoff double
to right center by Troy Elwer, who moved
to third on Seth Linders groundout, and
Youngpeter being hit by a pitch and then
stealing second. However, Falk stranded them
there.

Musketeers strike Bulldogs

By Dave Boninsegna

news@delphosherald.com
FORT JENNINGS The

Fort Jenning Musketeers
pitching was on the mark on
Tuesday night in the Putnam
County League contest
against the Columbus Grove
Bulldogs.
The Musketeersused three
pitchers to strike out 15
Grove batters on their way to
an 8-6 victory.
Musketeer starter Brandon
Wehri set down 11 of the 29
batters he faced on strikes,
threw 107 pitches and helped
his own cause at the plate,
going 2 for 4 with a pair of
doubles and three runs batted
in.
Connor Stechschulte (2
Ks) and Austin Luebrecht (2
Ks) each threw an inning of
relief,
Sam Vetter drove in three
runs with a double and single,
while Luebrecht reached base
three times, scoring twice.
The bottom part of the
Bulldog lineup was stymied
by Jennings pitching with the
6-9 batters accounting for 11
of the 15 strikeouts.
The Bulldogs did get on
the board first in the top of
the first inning when Jake
Utendorf walked and moved
to third when Grant Schroeder
reached on an error. One batter later, Adam Birkemeier
drove in both runs with a
single to put the guests up 2-0

after one half inning.
The home team wasted no
time in striking back. Luke
Trentman led off the bottom
of the first with a single and
scored on a Wehri double. He
moved to third on a wild pitch
and scored on a Nolan Grote
sacrifice to tie the game a 2-2.
The Musketeers took the
lead for good in the second,
plating three runs on the
strength of two walks and
back-to-back doubles by
Wehri and Vetter.
Grove drew one closer in the third after loading the bases on hits by
Reid Stechschulte and Ryan
Verhoff.

Musings
(Continued from page 6)
The thing is and
maybe I am looking through
rose-colored stained-glass
windows about those days
it seems to me that those
guys were far more fundamentally sound than what we
see today.
There is a case in point I
will point to today.
Pundits were talking earlier this NBA season about
the impact of Steph Curry on
young players. They pointed
out how the game changed
with Magic and Larry Bird,
then MJ and later with
LeBron.
Young players want to be

like them: everyone wanted to be a point guard like
Magic, a shooter and trash
talker like Bird, a maniacal
drive-to-the-basket assassin
like Jordan and do everything
like LeBron.
Curry is a phenomenal
shooter who gets ridiculous
shots off against much better players and these guys
were figuring that five years
from now, we would really
see how much he influenced
the development of todays
young players as far as shooting.
Yes, you are a role model!

Walk-off

He escaped a 2-on, 2-out jam in the second, then another in
the fifth. When Chayten Overholt and Leeth turned a sparkling
double play to erase a leadoff walk in the sixth, it looked like
the game would go the Lancers way.
The Jeffcats, however, had other ideas. Schrider started
the home half of the seventh by taking a Youtsey fastball
off his calf, and the Lincolnview starter followed that with
another hit batsman, Eli Kimmett, putting the tying run on
base. After Brett Mahlie bunt advanced both runners, Brandon
Herron came off the bench and hit a rope to center field, but
Schmersal caught the line drive and fired a strike to the plate,
holding the runners.
Down to their final out, Mercer drew a 4-pitch walk for
the Wildcats, loading the bases and setting the stage for
Stockwells liner to center, which tied the score and sent
Mercer to third.
With reliever Jalen Roberts taking over on the mound,
Easton Siefker fouled off three 2-strike offerings before
Roberts bounced the sixth pitch of the at bat past the catcher and to the screen. Mercer raced home, sliding in before
Roberts could apply a tag.
Credit to them - theyre a gritty team and Doug is a great
coach, Fishpaw said. I thought Derek threw very, very well
and it was his ball game to win or lose. Pitch count got up
there, so we came in with Jalen. But credit to them, it was a
nice conference win for them.

Run-rule
The Wildcats (9-2, 2-1 MAC) made
it 2-0 in the top of the second on walks
to Alex Lehmkuhl, Ben Hobbs (1 out)
and Jared Huelsman and a sacrifice fly
to right by Bryce Schmitmeyer that
plated Lehmkuhl; in the process, Seth
Linder collided with centerfielder Elwer,
dropped the ball trying to throw, and
by the time he gunned down Huelsman
trying to advance to second, Hobbs was
ruled to have scored.
The Jays got their second and
last hit and only run with two outs
in the home second as Aaron Reindel
went yard over the centerfield fence.
However, Falk retired the final 10 batters after that.
Falk led off the Minster third by
getting on via an error, advanced on a
Brent Hoelscher grounder and hustled
in to score on John Niemeyers infield
hit to short.
Minster chased Youngpeter after
three batters in the fourth: walks to
Aaron Ernst and Hobbs and a sacrifice bunt by Huelsman, with a 2-base
throwing error scoring Ernst. Linder
came on in relief. With one down, Falk
squeezed for an RBI single (Hobbs) and
Hoelscher squeezed home Huelsman for
a 6-1 lead.
The visitors blew it open in the top
of the fifth. Niemeyers ripped a double
to left and went to third on an error on
Lehmkuhls grounder. Ernst walked to
load the bases and Hobbs flied out deep
enough to left to get Niemeyer home.
Huelsmans infield hit to third loaded
them up and No. 9 hitter Schmitmeyer
knocked a deep fly ball near the corner
in left and with the wind blowing that
way, cleared the fence for a grand slam
and an 11-1 edge.
Both teams return to action tonight:
St. Johns hosts Bath and Minster visits

Strike
After a Utendorf single
scored Stechschulte, it was a
5-3 contest.
The Bulldogs remained
resilient, coming up with
three runs in the fourth on
back-to-back free passes to
Stechschulte and Verhoff.
After a Utendorf fielders
choice and Birkemeier reaching on an error, three runs
had come across to give the
guests a 6-5 lead.
However, as quickly as
Grove took the lead, the
Musketeers would steal it
right back. Fort Jennings

scored two runs in their half
of the fourth on a walk and a
pair of singles by Wehri and
Vetter to make it 7-6 heading
into the sixth.
Jennings added one more
run in the bottom of the fifth
with Luebrecht adding the
insurance run.
Luebrecht came on in
relief of Wehri and stuck out
two more Bulldog batters in
the sixth but ran into trouble
in the seventh. Ben Ramerez
led off with a double, followed by a single by Garrett
Haustien, but Stechschulte
was summoned to put out the
fire and struck out two of the

next four batters he faced to
preserve the Musketeer victory.

A Place For All-Timers

Back in 1985 the city of
Cleveland sent dignitaries to
New York City with hopes of
securing Cleveland as the future
site of the Rock and Roll Hall of
Fame & Museum.
In competition with New
York, Philadelphia, New
Orleans, San Francisco,
Memphis
and
Chicago,
Cleveland was eventually chosen and 10 years later in 1995,
the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
opened its doors on the banks of
Lake Erie.
The cavernous Cleveland
Municipal Stadium hosted
an opening benefit concert
this Sept. 2 evening in 1995.
Performing that evening were Chuck Berry, Bob Dylan, Al Green, Jerry Lee Lewis, Aretha Franklin,
Johnny Cash, the Pretenders, John Fogerty, Lou Reed, Iggy Pop, George Clinton, the Kinks, John
Mellencamp, Bruce Springsteen, Booker T. and the MGs, Eric Burdon and Martha Reeves. Wow!
Thirty years past, the Hall has 312 inductees (113 groups, rockhall.com). The 2016 class includes
Steve Miller, Chicago, Cheap Trick, Deep Purple, NWA and Bert Burns.
Test your Music Trivia knowledge by matching the 2016 inductees with their achievement:
1) Cheap Trick
A) Smoke on the Water (#4 in 1972)
2) Steve Miller
B) wrote Twist and Shout, Hang on Sloopy
3) NWA
C) Fly Like an Eagle (#2 in 1976)
4) Bert Burns
D) Express Yourself song with Dr Dre on vocals
5) Deep Purple
E) I Want You To Want Me (#7 in 1977)
The Rock And Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland reaches over 50,000 students annually
with its on-site and distance-learning music education programming. It really is a musical big deal. You
can browse museum information at rockhall.com.

Working out on a budget

BY NATHANIEL SILLIN
The Union Bank Company will build a new operations center behind its current drive-thru in Columbus Grove. (DHI Media/Nancy Kline)
The Union Bank Company to

build new operations center
COLUMBUS GROVE The Union
Bank Company has announced plans to build
a new operations center in Columbus Grove.
The new operations center will remain in
Columbus Grove behind the banks current
drive-thru along State Route 65. On April 11,
the bank purchased land which was previously owned by the Village of Columbus Grove.
The Union Bank Company was founded
in 1904 in Kalida and has had its offices in
Columbus Grove since 1932. The purchase
is a significant investment, both in the banks
future, and in the community, according to
President and CEO Brian D. Young.
Having operated in a facility built over
100 years ago, the project to update the
banks current facility has been the topic of
discussion for numerous years, Young said.
The ongoing investment and challenges presented with our current building continued to
conflict with the banks long-term strategies
of efficiency and growth. As we researched
alternatives, including remodeling or removing and rebuilding on our current location, it
became clear that a new facility would be best
to meet our current and future needs.
Young said the decision to keep the banks
operations in Columbus Grove was thoroughly analyzed.

The banks access to talented, dedicated
and well educated team members, the costs
structure, the support of the communities, and
the excellent working relationship with the
Village of Columbus Grove made staying the
best option, Young said.
The banks successes would be not be
possible without the ongoing support of our
Board of Directors, Shareholders, current
and former Team Members and most importantly our many Clients, Young added. For
that, I want to personally say, Thank you. It
remains our mission to keep The Union Bank
Company a strong financial partner, who
remains Committed to You.
The bank expects to break ground on the
new offices soon.
The Union Bank Company is a wholly
owned subsidiary of the United Bancshares,
Inc. (Nasdaq: UBOH - news), headquartered
in Columbus Grove, Ohio. The Union Bank
Company serves Allen, Hancock, Putnam,
Sandusky, Van Wert, Marion, Delaware and
Wood counties with locations in Bowling
Green, Columbus Grove, Delphos, Findlay,
Gibsonburg, Kalida, Leipsic, Lewis Center,
Lima, Marion, Ottawa and Pemberville
Its truegood health really

does save money.
A Towers Watson survey
noted that employee wellness
programs saved employers an
average of $100 in health care
costs per worker. So if youre
going to get healthy, do it the
smart way and make well-researched spending decisions
throughout the year.
Here are a few tips at the
starting line:
Do a little heavy lifting with your budget first.
Whatever your goals, check
your overall finances to see
what bad health behaviors
might be costing you now in
terms of immediate everyday
costs or long-term impact on
medical bills. You might find
that a successful fitness plan
can return hundreds of dollars
and possibly thousands to
your budget.
Pick a workout you
like. If you loved swimming or jogging as a kid,
such sports might be a good
place to restart your fitness
regimen. Restart your fitness
habits modestly but consistently with activities you like.
If they require a facility, test it
out for a few days to comparison-shop. If theyre offering
specials, read the fine print
carefully and try to stay away
from long-term membership
commitments if you can.
Dont overlook your
community. Check out taxpayer-supported facilities
and activities youre already
paying for in your community to see what they offer.
Community centers are great
resources for inexpensive or

free classes. You might be
surprised how many free public tennis courts, swimming
facilities and other recreational spaces are available in
your city or town. Also take
advantage of any regional,
state or national parks that are
near you. Theres no greater
motivation to stay active than
getting outside.
Find buddies. Youve
seen them when walking or
driving past a park or other
locations around townpeople who run together, walk
together or dance together. Joining a fitness group
doesnt have to cost any
money at all; you might make
new friends and youll hopefully challenge and keep each
other motivated.
You dont need all the
latest gear. Unless you need
specific clothes or equipment
for protection or safety, raid
your closet to save on your
fitness plan. Keep it cheap
and focus on improving
your health. Consider setting workout milestones and
reward yourself with a new
purchase after hitting your
goals.
Adjust your commute.
If you have access to public
transportation, take the bus
or train more often youll
automatically walk more to
and from your destinations.
If you do drive, park at the
farthest end of the lot to add a
short, cost-free workout into
your daily schedule.
Prepare your own
meals. Working out is
important to getting healthy,
but eating properly can help
Nathaniel Sillin
you achieve results faster.

One of the most effective
ways to improve a diet and
save money while doing it
is resolving to prepare more
meals at home (http://www.
practicalmoneyskills.com/
calculators/lunch/). Also,
commit to selecting more
healthful options whether
you are at home or dining
out. There are almost limitless resources in libraries
and online to learn about
quick, healthy food preparation and smart food shopping.
Bottom line: Working out
on a budget doesnt always
require added expenses.
There are many inexpensive
or free options to meet both
health and financial goals in
your neighborhood, at work
and many other places.

way to inspire others. You can
achieve great things when you
work with others as a cohesive
team.
LEO Jul 23/Aug 23

over the reins this week. You
can use a break and this is a
good chance to see what others
around you are capable of accomplishing.
TAURUS Apr 21/May 21

Taurus, there is time for fun
and there is time to get serious,
and you may have difficulty
distinguishing between the
two. Find someone who can
guide you.
VIRGO Aug 24/Sept 22

Consider a new approach to
personal interactions, Virgo.
By being more open to others
opinions, you may get to see
another side of the equation.
Its important to be receptive.
GEMINI May 22/Jun 21

Gemini, share your insight on
a project if you have ideas on a
different approach. If you keep
your thoughts bottled up, frustration can fester and aggravate

of the options this time around.
Its good to be act on instinct
once in a while. This could be
just what you need.

You need to take an intellectual approach to handling some
trouble that has come your

help you, as can taking time to
find the best solution.

Scorpio, a disagreement could
quickly boil over if you are not
around to put out the flame.
You thrive as a mediator, as

A number of persons from Delphos
and vicinity were in Elida Friday night
in attendance at a musicale held in
observance of the third anniversary of
the founding of the Elida Young Peoples
Organization. The entertainment was
held in the Elida High School auditorium. One of the feature soloists of the
evening was Dwight Ludwig, graduate
of Delphos Jefferson High School in
the Class of 1926. He has studied for a
number of years under many of the best
voice instructors in Ohio and was for
two years soloist for the Scottish Rite
Choir of Wichita Falls, Texas.

A glitch of sorts resulted in issues with the
Environmental Protection Agency with the
park opening since the park opened before
some testing was complete. But everything is
corrected and since the rains caused so many
cancellations the early opening did not affect
anything negatively.
The council also discussed hiring summer
help for the village. In a discussion about the
police department and a failing photocopier,
it was noted the copier most likely failed
because the maintenance building where the
police are headquartered is dirty and they cannot keep the copier clean. With the large doors
open and vehicles driving in and out, wind
blows in dirt and snow and rain blow inside.
Council discussed the possibility of building a
partition as a preventative message to forestall
have the copier cleaned at $200 a pop.
Council discussed rounding up items for
the annual public entity auction. A few of the
items mentioned were old radios, light bars
from old cruisers and a copier.
Liquor permits for The Fort and Meyers
Market were renewed. A CD has matured and

it was decided by council to continue the same
policies about investing as they previously
used.
There was a lesson learned as the council discussed what should be included in
work contracts. Smith gave an example that
involved dirt removed from trenches. He
believed the contractor would take the dirt and
use it to fill in an area in the village, but that
was not specifically stated in the contract and
the contractor took advantage of that loophole
and kept the dirt. This caused the village to
have to buy dirt to fill in that area.
The mayor also discussed contract design
with some contractors who advised him about
a specific project in the village and suggested
it be rebid so that the bidder agrees to provide
the gravel, labor and trench boxes for sewer
work and the village would supply only the
pipe for the project. Otherwise, the contractors wouldnt care how much gravel they
used and may use it liberally, driving up costs
for the village. If the contractors were made
responsible for the gravel cost they would be
more cautious.
Council
The city will also seek a federal grant for $170,000 to got
to the cost of a new EMS vehicle. The city is partnering with
Washington and Marion townships in the grant process as both
entities benefit from Delphos Fire and Rescue services.
The rules were suspended for an ordinance directing the
administration to update the citys codified ordinance to fall
in line with state laws. Coleman said the emergency rule was
needed to bring the city in line with state laws.
We could face potential problems if something occurs that
would fall into these new laws and we havent updated ours to
match the states, he added.
Councilman Gillespie cast the lone no vote on the ordinance, following his past practice of doing so after informing
the administration that he would no longer vote yes on such
matters when he felt the legislation could or should go three
readings.
Council had no objection to a request for a liquor license
transfer to Patty J. Gibson, dba Pattys, from J & M Tacketts,
dba as Moes Dugout II and Patio.
The next council meeting will begin at 7 p.m. May 2.
A dozen or so survivors took home potted and hanging

flower arrangements as door prizes.
The 2016 Relay of Life of Delphos will be held from 6 p.m.
to midnight June 10 at Stadium Park. This is the first year the
event will be held at the park. In the past, it has been held at
Jefferson High School at the Community Track. The Hanser
Pavilion will serve as the Relay main stage.
The core events will also be offered, including the opening
ceremonies, Survivor Lap, Luminaria Lighting and Closing
Ceremonies.
This years goal is $54,000.

Earth Day is observed on April 22
and was started in the United States in

1970 by Senator Gaylord Nelson to create
awareness for the Earths environment and
to encourage conservation efforts. In 1990,
Earth Day was taken international, and
today, more than 500 million people in 175
countries observe Earth Day.

and stop buying plastic disposable bottles.
7. Wash laundry in cold water instead of hot.
8. Turn off lights when you leave the room.
9. Dont turn on lights at all for as long as you
can, open your curtains and enjoy natural light.
10. Drive the speed limit, and combine all your
errands for the week in one trip.

8 Ways Kids Can Go Green

5. Conserve water. Lessons learned
in conservation are important. Water
is one resource that is crucial to human life. Kids can explore ways to cut
down on water consumption or use
water more efficiently. Simply reducing shower time can save energy and
water.
6. Rent rather than buy. From toys
to video games to movies, people
have
more entertainment options than ever before. And
nowadays
its easy
to access a fresh
supply of entertainment without making
purchases that require the
manufacturing of new items.
7. Turn off/turn down. Turn
off lights, appliances, electronics, and much more when theyre not
in use. Also, encourage children (of
an appropriate age) to unplug certain electronics so appliances arent
consuming electricity while in standby mode.
8. Change body care products. Introduce kids to earth-friendly soaps,
shampoos, toiletries, and cleaning
supplies.
Children are the next generation to
take on the task of protecting the planet. When they begin an eco-friendly
lifestyle early on, they may be more
likely to employ the same strategies
in adulthood.
Inspiring children to be eco-friendly

can be enjoyable and get those creative juices flowing. The following are
eight ways children and their families
can work together to protect the environment.
1. Precycle. Kids can attempt to
reduce waste by recognizing products that could be wasteful and then
avoiding those items. Toys or everyday items with excessive packaging
that we use without thinking are just
some examples.
2. Repurpose. Look at items
that normally end up in the
trash and find new and fun
ways to repurpose them.
Children can make crafts
out of junk mail, catalogs
and old newspapers. Juice
boxes or plastic containers can be
turned into boats or accessories for
dolls and action figures.
3. Reuse. Toting lunch or snacks
around can be more eco-friendly
when reusable containers are part
of the equation. Explore the many
lunch bags, beverage cups, thermoses, Bento boxes, and other packaging
available. Many are made from recycled materials as well.
4. Walk. Encourage getting around
without firing up the car. Walking,
jogging, biking, or scootering around
the neighborhood is more eco-friendly than driving.
Benefits of Recycling
Soil erosion is decreased.
Glass products when recycled use 40%
lesser energies than new glass products. All 50 various categories of plastics produced can be recycled and used
again and again. Metal cans and steel
cans can easily be recycled to produce
parts for a new car or food containers.
Disposed computer parts can also be
recycled to use them as scrap metal.
Buying a WaterFurnace geothermal has never been easier!
with a
Recycling helps in the conservation of

natural resources such as water, minerals, and woods.
Much less energy is required to produce new products through recycling
methods.
Recycling also lessens the production
of greenhouse gases as less fossil fuel
