New technology online at WWTP

The new Fibracast hybrid membranes are

installed at the Delphos Wastewater Treatment
Plant and the new system went online Thursday
evening. (DHI Media/Nancy Spencer)
DELPHOS The new technology at the Delphos

Wastewater Treatment Plant is online. Superintendent
Todd Teman and Fibracast representatives flipped the
switch Thursday evening.
We couldnt be more pleased with how this has
project progressed, Delphos Safety Service Director
Shane Coleman said Thursday. The weather cooperated and the construction crews did a great job.
The switch to the new technology will not be
noticed by residents.
Now, the pilot program begins. A representative
from Fibracast will live in Delphos for the next year
and monitor the system to make sure everything is
working properly and up to standards.
The is what really attracted us to Fibracast,
Coleman said. They have a lot of confidence in their
product and were willing to let us use it for a year
before we commit to retrofitting the rest of the plant.
Coleman said he was glad the system came on line
at this time it can experience all types of weather
events to test its operation.
Coleman and Teman have estimated the new system
to be at least 50 percent more efficient in energy use.
In 2014, the plant cost $600,000 in electricity to run.
The new technology itself is also more efficient.
The new membranes are a hybrid of the plate technology and the noodle technology, Teman explained.
There is a lot more membrane in a smaller space

lowering its dependency on pumps and blowers and
lowering the plants energy costs. Well also use about
one fifth of the mixers we have.
Less equipment also means less service and replacement costs.
We have removed all the ancillary equipment from
the pilot tank because we dont need it with the new
technology, Teman added. Once we fill the other
two tanks with the new membranes, the deck will be
all but empty and look really nice.
The city has struggled with the original membranes
at the plant from the previous supplier with fouling
and hydraulic issues for more than eight years and
received notice the first of the year from the Ohio EPA
of impending findings and orders if the issues were
not addressed in a timely manner.
No matter what solution was found, the plant would
have seen construction.
The majority of work being done to accommodate
the new technology would have happened regardless,
Coleman said. This investment would have to be
made either way. The old technology failed and we
would have been looking at something new.
After the pilot study, if the city decides to utilize
Fibracast, the membranes will be used in the remaining tanks with an estimated cost of $4 million. It will
bring the city up to the original design of 3.83 million
gallons a day capacity to lower peak wet weather flow/
combined sewer overflows that are limited to four per
year by the EPA.
Another Christmas Project in the bag

BY NANCY SPENCER

DELPHOS More than 140 local

families shared in the Christmas spirit
perpetuated by the Delphos Community
Christmas Project Friday. An army of
teens and adults helped deliver toys,
clothing, food and other gifts to those
who may have a slim wallet this year.
Coordinator Edna Fischer was
pleased with this years endeavor and
as always, appreciative of the support
of her shoppers, those who donate
and those who share their time getting
things done.
Deliver day coincides with local
students last day of school so juniors
and seniors from both high schools can
spend their morning delivering bags of
gifts and even bicycles for that portion
of the project as well as more than 150
fruit plates to shut-ins and others who
could use a little of the holiday spirit
for the other.
I love helping with the Christmas
Project, St. Johns student Michaela
Hoffman said as she was taking fruit
plates to her car. It makes me feel good
because it makes the people happy we
are delivering to.
Nearly 300 pairs of shoes and boots,
18 refurbished Christmas trees with
lights and nearly 160 $100 gift cards to
the local grocery store are also included
with gifts received.

Edelbrock trial
set March 22
By Steven Coburn-Griffis
DHI Media Editor
[email protected]
LIMA On Friday, former
accountant and Kalida resident
Jennifer Edelbrock appeared
for her final pretrial on two
fourth-degree felony grand
theft charges in Allen County
Common Pleas court. While
no public comment was made,
Allen County Prosecutor Jurgen
Waldick announced a scheduled date for a jury trial in the
Edelbrock case.
On May 19, responding to
complaints alleging financial misconduct filed with the
Delphos Police Department, the
Ohio Bureau of Identification
and
Investigation
raided
Edelbrocks
Delphos-based
business,
Edelbrock-Reitz,
LLC. Subsequently, on May 29,
then-Delphos Chief of Police
Kyle Fittro, along with agents
from BCI&I, served Edelbrock
with an arrest warrant on a single
passing bad checks charge at her
Fifth Street home.
Arising from the single
charge were the two fourth-degree felony indictments alleging that Edelbrock had misappropriated nearly $12,000 from
Bowersock Brothers VFW Post
6772, Spencerville.

Wrapping up 2015 ...

DELPHOS The end of 2015 is near
and as usual, The Herald has compiled the
most notable stories from the year. Here is
the first of four installments of the 2015
Year-end Wrap Up.
January
Jan. 1
Delphos Police and the Allen County
Sheriffs Office were investigate a New
Years Day stabbing that occurred at
Deercreek Apartment Complex on Lima

Avenue in Delphos. The victim was
stabbed in the face and attempted to drive
himself to the hospital for treatment but
elected to pull his vehicle over and call for
assistance near the U.S. 30 interchange on
State Route 309.
Thermo King of Delphos changed
hands. Tom and Mary Odenweller, owners and operators since 1977, sold the
business to Dan Bartholomew and Dick
Buergler of Thermo King of Indiana, Inc.
Odenwellers brother, Don, took the role
of branch manager and 10 other employ-
ees stayed on as well.

Getting more exercise and maintaining a healthful diet topped New Years
Resolutions.
Jan. 3
A man who was facing charges for
robbing the Ramblers Roost Restaurant
was captured by Van Wert County Sheriffs
deputies. James Robert Reynolds, 35, was
the subject of a manhunt after he cut off his
ankle monitor and left his home illegally.
Delphos native and Lima Police officer
Cory Noftz traveled to New York City for
the funeral of NYPD Det. Wenjian Liu,
one of the two police officers killed execution-style in December. Noftz said the
news of his fallen comrades sickened him
but the support he saw in New York was
overwhelming and made him even more
proud and honored to do his job every day.
Jan. 6
Delphos City Council saw legislation to
get city workers and administration back
to a 40-hour work week. Employees had
been on a 3-hour weekly furlough since
October 2013.

A Visit with Bob Schmit

Very much enjoyed the old

conversational feel in talking
with Bob. Bob, now retired
for many years, made his
mark as a longtime Delphos
businessman
(Schmits
Market & German Mutual
Insurance) and community
leader (Kiwanis Club). Many
can recall the nostalgic days
of Delphos when the vibrant,
bustling mercantilism of Main
Street represented the pulse
and centering point of the
community. Schmits Market
(operated for decades by Bob
and his brothers Jerome and
Alfred) served the community
as both marketplace and conversational interchange for
years and years-many locals

up in the 1950s, 60s, 70s are
years he is quite fond of.
My favorite president:
FDR was the first president
that Bob was old enough to
be aware of at the time and
though he was not in total
support of all the programs
established under FDR, Bob
said he recognized the great
difficulties of those years.
Bob also noted that he viewed
Presidents Eisenhower and
Reagan as good men. Bob
shared that hes hesitant to be
critical and feels that sometimes our leaders simply have
to make decisions that even
they dont particularly like
but believe are best for the
country.
Great reflections: Bob
recalled Some of the nicest people came out of the
poorest period of life (Great
Depression & WWII) Bob
noted that in spite of the tough
times, people in those years
were kind and cooperative and
the attitude was well suffer

and the friends I had, thats
what made my life, You cant
choose so many things in life
but the family I was raised in,
the family I was fortunate to
have, I couldnt have asked
for any more.
Good Stuff! Thanks Bob.

Year winds down with

farewell to a favorite cousin
BY LOVINA EICHER
One day after another goes by, bringing 2015 closer to history. We do not
have snow. We had seven inches of snow
several weeks ago, and last week a few
flurries that stuck to the ground for a few
hours. Our children are hoping it snows
for Christmas. Snow does bring in the
holiday spirit more, but we cannot forget
the real reason for the season Jesus
our Savior was born!
Our church will have our annual potluck Christmas dinner on December
20our next church service. I will take
a casserole, although Im not sure what
kind yet.
Tomorrow is daughter Verenas 18th
birthday! I just try to grasp the fact that
18 years have passed since she was born
to us. What a precious young lady she has
become. I still remember well the day she
was born. She was a petite, dark-haired
baby. Always little but mighty! At six
months old, she was crawling all over the
house. She is still petite. With Kevin, 10,
growing taller and taller, it wont be long
before he will pass Verena in height. My
wish for Verena is to have a very happy
birthday and Gods guidance through her
teenage years and always. Verena will
never leave or go to bed without giving
me a hug and a kiss. What a joy to be her
mother!
Along with joy, life also brings us sorrow. Our hearts are still in shock from
hearing the news of cousin Larry Coblentzs death. It is with regret that we
were unable to attend the visitation or
funeral. The funeral was yesterday with
visitation only an hour before the funeral.
Several of our children had appointments
that were unable to be changed. Our
hard for a 13-year-old to understand that

God wants us to forgive someone before
the person even asks to be forgiven.
This week I will share the recipe for
pecanwhite chocolate chip cookies.
Daughter Verena baked these last week.
God bless all of you!
hearts and prayers were with the family

as they laid to rest a kind-hearted son,
father, brother, uncle and grandpa. Larry
was one of my favorite cousins. He always had time to visit even though we
didnt get to see each other as often in the
recent years. Larry was a big supporter of
my column and a great encouragement to
me to keep writing when it would have
been easier to just quit. There was more
than once at a book signing that I would
spot Larrys face in the crowd. How comforting to know he drove several hours to
be there.
Larry was the oldest of my cousins
on the Coblentz side. His dad, Albert Jr.,
was my dads oldest sibling and will be
86 in January. Our sympathy goes to Uncle Albert Jr. and Aunt Shirley and also to
Larrys son, David, and children and his
extended family. Rest in peace, Larry!
Your life touched many!
Son Joseph, 13, was very excited to
shoot his first deer last Saturday. He went
hunting with Mose (daughter Susans
special friend). But after he shot the doe
and they tracked it, Joseph was disappointed to find that someone else was
taking it! It was not worth an argument,
and I told Joseph maybe the other hunter
needed the meat more than we did. It is

Chocolate Chip Cookies
1 cup butter
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups oatmeal
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup pecans, chopped
1 cup white chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a
bowl, mix together butter and brown and
white sugars until light and fluffy. Beat
in eggs and vanilla. Stir in oatmeal. Sift
together flour, baking powder and baking
soda and add to rest of ingredients. Stir
until combined. Add pecans and chocolate chips. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Note:
for a soft, chewy cookie, bake only 9-10
minutes. A longer bake time will make a
crisper cookie.

Farmers encouraged to develop nutrient management plans

PUTNAM COUNTY
While Lake Erie did not have
a major drinking water crisis this year; harmful algae
blooms and nutrient runoff
were an issue due to excess
summer rains. Luckily, government officials were more
prepared and most of the
HAB blooms occurred further out in the lake. The 2015
HAB rated a 10.5 (1=Good,
10=Bad) compared to 2014.
To reduce future HAB problems, farmers are encouraged
to develop nutrient management plans.
The Nutrient Management
Plan Writers are a team working to assist farmers in developing Nutrient Management
Plans (NMP) in the Western
Lake Erie Basin (WLEB) of
Ohio. Plans provide both fertility recommendations and
an environmental site risk
for fields that help identify
resource concerns impacting
nutrient and sediment loss. So
farmers wanting to apply for
EQUIP cost share funds will
need to have a plan before
they will be funded.
The plans provide general guidelines on 4R Nutrient
Stewardship practices for
your farm resulting in the
Right rate, source, timing
and placement of nutrients to
maximize efficiency in fertilizer use. These plans also
meet criteria needed for affirmative defense once coupled
with other criteria defined in
Ohio law. They are provided
without cost to the participants. Ohio contributors to
the project include 1) Ohio
Farm Bureau Federation, 2)
Ohio Soybean Council, 3)
Ohio Small Grains Marketing
Program, 4) Ohio Corn Marketing Program, and 5) Ohio
State University Extension.
The program is funded from
a grant through the National
Fish and Wildlife Foundation.
To summarize current Ohio
law, a Nutrient Management
Plan (NMP) can take several
forms, including those originating from 1) OSU Nutrient Management Workbook,
2) Comprehensive Nutrient
Management Plan (CNMP)
meeting all of the requirements of NRCS, and 3) A plan
equivalent to those of the two
previous bullets and approved
by the Director of ODA or
his designee and contains at
a minimum, information on
current soil tests, 4Rs for all
nutrients utilized, fields covered by the plan, crops grown
and yield information.
While each individual will
base their decision on whether
to do a NMP on one or more

factors specific to their farm,
some reasons you might want
to consider doing a CNMP include: 1) Potential to reduce
fertilizer costs, 2) Potential to
increase yields, 3) Maximize
nutrient use efficiency and
minimize nutrients leaving the
field, 4) Potentially qualify for
NRCS/FSA reimbursement
for EQUIP program practices,
5) Basis of affirmative defense as stated in Ohio law
against private civil lawsuits
(e.g. those brought by environmentalist groups if you
are in compliance with your
NMP), and 5) No financial
cost to individuals but will
require an investment of your
personal time.
This summary is intended
to provide food for thought.
The information about your
operations necessary to create a NMP that meets NRCS
requirements is detailed and
you will want to investigate
the process before making a
decision. Producers will need
to have soil tests within the
last two years and provide
information about field rotations, implements, management practices, water sources
and more. OSU Extension
recommends you contact a
member of our team to begin
the process if you are a grain
farmer. Our team will travel
to interested individuals who
farm in the Western Lake Erie
Basin.

Coldwater defeats Blue Jays

Hot shooting spurs Cats

COLUMBUS GROVE Players from

both Jefferson and Columbus Grove, as well
as fans, were wearing #grotstrong T-shirts
in honor of Jefferson graduate and Columbus
Grove teacher/coach Chris Grothaus for
Friday nights boys basketball game inside
The Dog Pound.
Grothaus even made a brief appearance
in the first half, drawing a warm round of
applause.
Unfortunately, the Wildcats played the
Northwest Conference game better, putting a
quartet in double figures in a 73-51 rout.
The Wildcats (3-2, 1-1 NWC) shot a torrid
26-of-46 from the field (9-of-19 3s) for 56.5
percent and 12-of-15 at the line (80%).
Leading the way was Trey Smith with 29
(5 treys - 4 boards), along with 13 from Ryan
Goergens (3 bombs), 12 from Jace Stockwell
(6 assists) and 11 by Drew Reiss.
It was emotional. What happened to Chris
affects both communities, which is part of
being a small community, Jefferson coach
Marc Smith explained. Our kids were very
focused tonight; I am so proud of the defensive effort especially, particularly Brenan
(Auer) and Drew - both played with outstanding effort. Offensively, weve been looking
for that third and fourth scorer which we
got tonight but were also starting to understand our roles, which is part of being a good
team. What you saw tonight from Ryan was

what we see every day in practice, so were
hoping this is a start for him. As our principal,
John (Edinger) told me, we have had our five
scrimmages and tonight was our first game.
The Bulldogs (2-2, 0-2 NWC) werent bad
from the field 22-of-47, including 6-of21 from beyond the arc, for 46.8 percent.
However, they only had two foul shots, hitting
one (50%).
However, head coach Eric Maag felt his
teams downfall was between the ears.
For us, its all mental. When we are into
a game mentally, we can compete; when we
arent, we arent very good, Maag added.
We werent in it tonight. We had a game
plan to execute tonight and we didnt. We
know who their big two were but we let Trey
go crazy 19 points the first half and
Stockwell got his. We hadnt seen that out of
Reiss or Goergens. In our first three games,
we had four in double digits; tonight we had
two, which is a big difference. Plus, our turnovers are all mental. We had nine at the half
(11 for the game) and that is a ton for three
starting senior guards.
Leading the scoring was a 20-point outburst (4 triples) by Gabe Stechschulte and 13
points from Logan Diller (6 assists, 5 boards).
With the emotions running high to begin
the game, both teams were looking to get out
and go: the Wildcats with their zone pressures
and Grove trying to take away Smith and
Stockwell.

Adams scores 18 in
2nd half, Lancers
outlast Mustangs
BY JIM COX
[email protected]
HARROD Lincolnview
conducted another basketball
clinic at Allen East Friday
night, overcoming a formidable challenge by the Mustangs
to get a 69-48 win.
The Lancers are now
6-0 overall and 2-0 in the
Northwest Conference.
Allen East is 3-3 and 0-1.
The Lancers ball movement was excellent, as
evidenced by the fact that
27 of their 32 field goals
were layups, albeit some
that werent all that easy.
Lincolnview shot a red-hot
58 percent from the field.
We moved it well, especially when our guards penetrated, said Lincolnview
coach Brett Hammons.
Our posts and add
Trevor (Neate) and Caden
(Ringwald) to that category
also do a great job of
cutting, and we hit the open
man and make the extra pass.
Josh Leiter had a huge second
quarter for us. He doesnt
have a point in the book, but
he had a lot of assists, penetrating and dropping it off to
give us some momentum.
The Mustangs athletic
guards did present some problems for the Lancer defense,
especially early in the game
when the home team ran up
a 10-6 lead and again during

a 14-2 Allen East run in the
middle of the third quarter.
Other than those two times,
however, the Lincolnview
defense was, as usual, stellar.
They have great guard
play, said Hammons of the
Mustangs. Theyre athletic,
theyre strong, they can get to
the hole, theyre all good on
the dribble. It took us awhile
to adjust to that. I think we
were better as the game went
on. Its game six of the year,
so well improve.
With the Mustangs holding
the aforementioned 10-6 lead,
Lincolnview went on a 12-2
run, led by Hayden Ludwigs
three field goals, including
the Lancers only two nonlayup buckets of the quarter.
It was 22-16 after one.
The visitors had the last
basket of the first quarter and
the first five buckets of the
second to roll up a 32-16
lead. It was 38-23 at the half,
which ended on a perfect
alley-oop from Austin Leeth
to Neate.
The Mustangs trailed by
that wide margin despite
the fact that they had shot
a respectable 45 percent (9
of 20) from the field. That
was because the Lancers had
dominated the boards 16-9
, had gotten off many more
shots (31), and had hit 19 (17
layups) for 61 percent.
See ADAMS, page 7
Horrible!
Thats all I can write after
last weeks ridiculousness in
picking the pros.

Boninsegna had the best
weeks at 5-7 (1-0 colege,

DELPHOS Its rare

that a visiting team gets a
standing ovation from fans of
the opposing team.
Thats exactly what happened Friday night that as
the starting lineups were
announced, the Coldwater
Cavaliers were congratulated
by St. Johns for winning a
fourth straight football State
title.
The warm fuzzy feelings
didnt last long as fouls piled
up and blood was shed as
Coldwater rolled 58-36 in
their first game of the year
due to the pigskin playoffs.
According to Blue Jay
coach Aaron Elwer, the pure
athleticism of Coldwater is
what beat us tonight as they
dominated inside, which
freed up the outside shooters.
Coldwaters 6-9 center
Andy Brunet made a statement early with a putback
after an offensive rebound
and scored again on a turnaround jumper. St. Johns got
on the board as 6-8 big man
Tim Kreeger played like a
guard with the assist to Ryan
Hellman for the bucket. The
Jays tied the score at four as
great team passing continued as Robby Saine found
Jesse Ditto open for the layin.
Kreeger scored on a jumper
as St. Johns trailed 11-6 after
one.
With the inside game
clicking for the Cavs, the
Tim Kreeger of St. Johns scores over the defense of

Coldwaters Andy Brunet in Midwest Athletic Conference
action. The Cavs defeated the Jays 58-36 in their first game
of the season after winning their 4th straight football State
championship. (DHI Media/Larry Heiing)
outside opened up as Dylan
Thobe hit three straight triples as Elwer called timeout
down 20-8 with 5:07 remaining in the half. The pep talk
worked as the smaller Jays
Owen Rode grabbed an offensive rebound for the putback.
Saine hit from near the foul
line for two and Ditto scored
on a turnaround in the paint.
Hellman then picked up his
third foul of the half and the
Jays didnt score again from
the floor.
After being down 26-15
coming out of the locker
room, Saine hit his first and
only triple of the game off
a pick to get finally get an

open shot. After a free throw
by Collin Will, a banker by
Kreeger drew the Jays within
28-21 the smallest Cavs
lead since early in the contest.
The Jays center would score
six more points in the half
but Coldwater scored 13 to
lead 41-25 as the third period
ended.
Kreeger went to the bank
again to start the final eight
minutes and Richard Cocuzza
chipped in a free throw.

Bearcats garner 1st NWC boys win

BY BRIAN LYBARGER
[email protected]
SPENCERVILLE The Paulding
Panthers entered Friday nights boys basketball contest riding a 3-game win streak,
while looking to stay perfect in Northwest
Conference play.
Meanwhile, the Bearcats of Spencerville
looked to get their first NWC win after a
tough loss to Lincolnview last weekend.
The latter got their mission accomplished
as the Bearcats grabbed a 77-62 victory.
It didnt take long for the Bearcats (5-1,
1-1 NWC) to get back to their winning ways
as they came out on fire, shooting 8/12 in the
first quarter, jumping out to an early 19-11
lead after one.
The experienced Spencerville squad took
that quick start and kept their foot on the gas.
Senior Mason Nourse (16.6 points per game)
led the way from the very beginning, as this
night belonged to him. Nourse finished the
night with a game-high 29 points, with 16 of

those coming in the first half.
When asked about his seniors performance, Coach Sensabaugh replied Mason
was awesome tonight. He played at a good
pace and knocked down some shots.
In the second half, Paulding (5-2, 1-1)
senior Alex Arellano (18.7 ppg) tried to get
his team back in the game as he finished the
game with a team-high 23 points, 14 in the
second half. Unfortunately for the Panthers,
this night was all Spencerville from start to
finish.
The Bearcats shot 49 percent from the
field, 7/18 from behind the arc (38.9%), while
Paulding finished 46 percent from the field
and only 2/9 from 3-point range (22.2%).
Paulding head coach Shawn Brewer said
after their 77-62 loss, our defense really hurt
us tonight. They just wanted the ball more
than us and outworked us.
Pigskin Picks
really wonder about their talent

level, especially as its their first
bowl game ever. MAC is earning
more and more respect and it
goes up a notch or two with this
win. Look for Elidas Quentin
Poling to have a big day from his
linebacker spot.
Georgia State: SJSU has
to come all the way to New
Orleans, so time difference will
be one factor. Two, Georgia
State likely has a few players
from Louisiana, so they are playing before the home folks. Go
Panthers!
La Tech: Could be a good
matchup of two lower-level
teams in FBS. I know it isnt
womens basketball (Techsters
would be prohibitive favorites!)
but I go with them anyway.
Western Kentucky: One thing
I know: Western Kentucky can
score points in bunches. They
should still be sharp enough to
do so versus USF.
PROS (I re-iterate what I
wrote last week: This season has
been absolutely terrible. Many
of these picks arent on the team
I think will win as much as who
I think wont lose!)
New York Jets: Who is
Cowboys backup? Kellen
Moore, a 4-year vet who has yet
to play a regular-season game?
They still havent put Tony
Romo on IR for some meaningless reason Were going to
play to the end? I hope so since
youre being paid to do so. This
is Jerry Jones work (LOL).
Jets in a landslide.
Minnesota: Da Bears are
as Jekyll and Hyde as anyone.
This game should be reminiscent of the Old Black and Blue
Division late-December games
of yesteryear in the Vikings old
Metropolitan Stadium. I like
their running game and ability to
stop the run.
Pittsburgh: If Peyton was
back, Id probably go with a rested and recharged Manning and
Broncos. Osweiler not the problem with a porous O-line. Not
See BEARCATS, page 7
conducive against the Blitzburgh

defense. Broncos can slow down
Big Ben and wideouts but not
enough.
Cincinnati: San Fran looked
disgusting versus Browns. I
dont believe Bengals will fall
apart without Dalton. This is
a character game for them and
given a week of prep, McCarron
will be better and that defense
should control 49ers.
New Orleans: Lions stink on
the road. Period. End of story.
They will stink in Superdome.
Houston: Indy fell apart
last week inexplicably to
Jaguars. Texans will be better
opponent and be the victors,
especially since JJ Watt and
Company should be steamed.

these games.

do it.

JOHN PARENT
College:
Arizona- I wasnt aware New
Mexico had a football team (EN:
They doth have one, ye!).
Utah- A rivalry game in a
bowl is fun, but Utah has more
talent.
App State- This isnt your
older brothers App State
team, but even without Armani
Edwards they should beat OU.
Georgia State- This is pure
guess.
La. Tech- Karl Malone and
Paul Milsap both played (basketball) at La. Tech. I can name zero
Arkansas State alums.
USF- I didnt realize Western
Kentucky was a Div 1A (or FBS)
program now.
Pros:
Jets- (Something clever about
Matt Cassel being terrible here
EN: I concur!))
Minnesota- Dang it, Jim!
Stop making me pick Vikings
games. I swear Im like 1-12 in
those games this year. (EN: I am
1-12 in every game this year
seemingly!)
Pittsburgh- Steelers are rolling, and Brock Osweiler has
been sacked 17 times in 17 quarters this year (actual analysis!).
Bengals- If the 4-and-9ers
can lose to Cleveland, they can
lose to a Bengals team even
without Andy Dalton.
Lions- The final might
be 54-52. Im not sure either
defense can get even one stop in
this game.

Lady Jays rally down

stretch to beat Cavs
BY JIM METCALFE
[email protected]
COLDWATER Coldwater turned a 20-17 halftime deficit

into a 32-28 lead at the end of three periods versus St. Johns
Thursday night.
The visiting Lady Blue Jays did the Lady Cavaliers one better in the fourth stanza a 17-6 span and rolled to a 45-38
Midwest Athletic Conference girls basketball triumph inside
The Palace of Coldwater High School.
Down by those six points to start the finale, the Cavaliers
(2-5) opened the period on a deuce just 10 ticks in by Maura
Hoying (12 counters, 11 boards, 4 assists, 2 steals). Lexie Hays
(11 markers, 9 boards, 3 assists, 3 steals, 2 blocks) started the
Blue and Gold (4-3, 2-1 MAC) rally with a 3-ball at 6:45. That
began a 7-0 spurt and they took a 35-34 lead on a free throw by
Sydney Fischbach (6 points, 6 boards) at 4:44. The Cavaliers
scored four straight their last of the night to take a 38-35
edge on a basket by Morgan Grunden at 3:38.
The Jays began their final rally on a foul shot by Hayleigh
Bacome (9 counters, 5 assists) and Hays tied it a 2:02. After a
trade of turnovers and a Coldwater miss, St. Johns coach Dan
J. Grothouse called timeout at 1:10 and set up a play. Bacome
found Madilynn Schulte off a Fischbach screen and she buried
a 3-ball from the right wing at 1:02 for the lead. Coldwater
missed three shots down the stretch and added their 20th turnover, while the Jays canned 4-of-6 foul shots in that span (10of-16 for the game for 62.5%) to finish it out.
We executed that play perfectly. Madilynn had struggled
all game with her shooting but she stepped up and hit a big
shot, Grothouse explained. Everybody stepped up down
the line. Any time you can go on the road and win a game,
especially in our league, shows the quality of your team and
its character.
Coldwater coach Connie May felt toughness cost her team.
We have to get tougher defensively; thats the bottom
line, she added. Our offense doesnt have fluency right now;
were still searching for a group of five that can give that to us
because we do show signs. Even so, its defense that is costing
us in tight games like this.
(Continued from page 6)

Thobe drained his sixth trey of the night and Brunet put the
exclamation point on the game with a dunk off an alley-oop
pass from Aaron Harlamert. Kreeger scored six more points in
the quarter and Rode added a pair of charity tosses as the Jays
fell to 3-2 (0-1 MAC) on the season.
I thought that our big guys Tim and Jesse hung in
there against taller defenders, continued Elwer. Collin and
Richard had their best game of the year so far and its just
another step of many in the growth and progress of this young
team.
Kreeger was the only Blue Jay in double digits with 18
points. St. Johns made a third of their shots from the floor and
were 1-of-10 from3-point range.
In junior varsity action, Coldwater outscored St. Johns 13-4
in the fourth quarter for a 38-31 come-from-behind win.
Connor Hullihan scored 12 and Lucas Metcalfe added 11
for the Jays.

School Thursday and were
rude guests by dominating
the Lady Wildcats 63-37 in
Northwest Conference action.
The Bulldogs had three
players score in double digits
led by Lynea Diller with 22
points, Paige Bellman 14 and
Jade Clement added 12.
With the win, Columbus
Grove stays atop of the
NWC standings at 3-0 and

The Bulldogs struck first
with a triple by Clement
followed by an unwanted
three by Jefferson turnovers in the first 1:42
forcing Wildcat coach David
Hoffman to call timeout.
Columbus Grove landed four
straight buckets from close
range as Clement, Bellman
and Diller all got in the books.
Jefferson finally broke the
ice with 2:32 remaining in
the first as sophomore Sarah
Miller made a free throw followed by a putback by Bailey
Gorman. The quarter ended
Jeffersons Sarah Miller goes up for 2 of her team-high 15 points against Columbus Grove

MIDDLE POINT - Two evenly-matched Northwest Conference

teams met at Lincolnview on Thursday
night, but Allen East had one thing that
the Lady Lancers didnt - a senior.
That seemed to be the difference in
the Lady Mustangs 37-33 win.
Allen East is now 3-6 overall and 1-1
in the NWC. Lincolnview is 3-4 and 1-2.
The difference was their senior, the
(Kylie) Wyss girl, said Lancer coach
Dan Williamson. We made a run at
them in the end, and she knocked down
two big free throws. We were trying
Wildcats

Smith was unstoppable
with an 11-point first period,
including a pair of bombs,
and Stockwell added six. On
the other side, Diller dropped
in eight markers, as did
Stechschulte (2 triples). The
teams combined for 15-of28 shooting and when Diller
hit a transition basket with
31 ticks on the board, the
Bulldogs led 19-18.
That changed to start the
second stanza. Goergens
popped a 3-pointer on the
Wildcats first possession
and they never trailed again.
They maintained good shooting 6-of-11 from the field
and 5-of-7 at the line
with Smith counting eight.
Grove countered with 4-of-8
shooting but six miscues (11
for the game) limited their
effectiveness. A free throw
by Auer at 1:08 gave the vis-
to press and trap, and she found the

open player for scores. Seniors win you
games like that.
Wyss, a 5-10 post player, had only
two field goals in the game but was otherwise outstanding.
They collapsed on her - everybody
does it, said Allen East coach Dana
Koontz. Shes the only senior. Its frustrating at times for her, but she understands. Shes been a great teammate all
year. She gets it.
It did indeed come down to the final
seconds.
After the visitors went up 35-25
on a couple of Wyss assists and a
Wyss bucket with 1:50 left, back came
the Lancers. Lincolnview sophomore
itors the first halfs biggest

edge 39-27 but when
Stechschulte drove the basket at 52 ticks, that lead was
39-29.
Grove would not go away
in the third period, however,
as they slowly pulled closer.
They were within 47-40 on
a basket by Caiden Grothaus
(6 caroms, 4 dimes) at 3:52
but a deuce by Trey Smith
broke that briefly. A Rece
Roney inside basket countered that at 2:48 but a follow
tip by Reiss at 2:34 broke
it for good. That spurred a
12-2 spurt five each by
Goergens and Smith and
when Smith uried a long two
from the key at 5.1 ticks, that
lead was 61-44.
The closest the Bulldogs
could get in the finale was 12
and the Wildcats slowly built
their lead to its zenith the
final score on a Reiss basket late as the second-team-
Adams
The third period started with an 11-2
Lincolnview run 49-25 with 4:10 left in
the quarter. Thats when the Allen East made
its most impressive showing a 14-2 run to
cut the lead down to 51-39.
Junior point guard Kain Foster had nine
of those 14 points. Then, however, Youtsey
hit a twisting baseline layup and Ringwald
bounced in a finger roll to make it 55-39 at
the break.
If there was still any doubt, it was soon
over. A 9-0 fourth-quarter Lancer run stretched
a 58-45 lead out to 67-45 with 1:14 left.
Except for free-throw shooting, which
wasnt a big factor, Lincolnview dominated
the stats.
The aforementioned 58 percent (32 of
55) field goal shooting topped Allen Easts
respectable 44 percent (17 of 41). The
Mustangs shot several threes and hit six of
them, while the Lancers didnt even try one.
The Lancers won the boards 32-18 and had
fewer turnovers, 13-18. The Mustangs hit 62
percent (8 of 13) of their free throws, while
Lincolnview made only 45 percent (5 of 11).
Maddie Gorman picked off a Mustang

pass and banked in a six-footer. After
another Allen East turnover, lefty sophomore point guard Olivia Gorman canned
a jumper from the left elbow. After still
another Mustang error, Olivia Gormans
3-pointer from the left wing bounced
high off the front rim and dropped
through to make it 35-32, Allen East,
with 33 seconds left.
Wass then was fouled at mid-court
and hit nothing but net on two foul shots.
Lincolnview junior Katlyn Wendel hit
the second of two freebies - 37-33 at
0:15. Allen East then missed the front
end of a one-and-one, but the Lancers
turned it over to end any hopes.
See MUSTANGS, page 8
ers finished it out.

Delphos won the board
battle 25-20 (7-5 offensive)
as Dalton Hicks added six (4
assists); won the foul tussle
8-15; and had six miscues.
Baily Clement dished out
four assists for the hosts.
In junior varsity action, the
Wildcats (4-1, 1-1) received
13 from Drake Schmitt and
11 by Alex Rode to grab a
42-35 triumph.
Logan Schroeders 21
(7 treys) was high for the
Bulldogs.
Both teams return to

Jays fall in wrestling tri-meet Mustangs
St. Johns Evyn Pohlman ties LCCs Caleb McDonald into knots during Wednesdays
tri-match at Arnzen Gymnasium. (DHI Media/Jim Metcalfe)
BY JIM METCALFE
[email protected]
DELPHOS All three

teams involved in Wednesday
nights tri-match wrestling
meet at St. Johns Robert
A. Arnzen Gymnasium: the
host Blue Jays, Lima Central
Catholic and Allen East;
struggled to fill out all 14
weight classes due to low
numbers, as well as injuries
and illness.
That meant several double
voids.
The Thunderbirds held
together the best, downing the Jays 32-16 and the
Mustangs 32-18.
Allen East bested the Jays
30-18.
All of us have a numbers
struggle, so matches like this
come down to head-to-head
matchups. LCC has a veteran team, so though they
dont have a full team, they
have a solid and experienced
one, St. Johns head coach
Derek Sterling said. They
have seven to eight kids that
I think will be District alternates and qualifiers and they
are very talented. We have a
ways to go as far as the wrestling goes and well get back
to work in the wrestling room
Jays
to try and get where we want

to be; thats where it starts
for us.
Evyn Pohlman had the
most success for the Jays,
wininng both of his matches: over Luke Brown (injury
default after leading early)
of Allen East and 9-0 over
LCCs Caleb McDonald.
He lost to both those
guys at sectionals last year, so
that is a major step for Evyn.
To have improved that much
and beat two guys he lost
to last winter is a testament
to his hard work, Sterling
added. That is an example
to our younger guys to know
if they keep working in the
room and striving to improve,
they can.
Evan (Mohler) had a couple of good matches as well,
though he split. Again, its
a positive for the rest of us.
We have a good attitude and
determination in the room
and I firmly believe good
things will happen.
Nick Sanchez, LCCs
head man, hopes Wednesday
results are just a step toward
the ultimate goal.
We have high expectations, whether its a senior or a
freshman. Were not so much
worried about right now and
results today, he explained.

The Jays took the early lead on a Jessica Geise basket at
6:40 of the opening period and both teams were looking to
be patient offensively. The Jays had the better of it, shooting
5-of-9 from the field (16-of-39 overall, 3-of-12 long range, for
41.0%) versus the Lady Cavaliers mark of 3-of-9 (17-of-47
total, 0-of-8 downtown, for 36.1%). When Hays hit a foul-line
jumper at 25 ticks, they led 10-7.
As the Jays continued to handled the Cavaliers full-court
pressure in the second stanza, they had the better of the play,
steadily leaking out to a 20-11 edge on a right-corner basket
Rachel Pohlman at 3:45. Unfortunately, they then went on a
drought the rest of the half. Hoying bagged a 3-point play the
old way (2:31), the first-of-2 foul shots (1:19) and a putback at
1:00 to get her team within 20-17.
Brooke Klosterman and Fischbach traded baskets to open
the third period with the latter at 7:22 breaking the guests
drought but the Cavaliers slowly kept coming. There were
four ties and one lead change as the Cavaliers took a 32-28
margin on a short banker by Kourtney Diller (8 markers, 3
steals) with 4.0 ticks showing.
We executed pretty much what we wanted the first half
on both ends, though we gave up a couple of baskets late that
gave them momentum, Grothouse added. The third period,
we just didnt have the same energy we had the first half and
Coldwater picked theirs up. Still, we kept fighting and battling
through it, even though things were not going our way.
St. Johns secured 26 rebounds (7 offensive), turned it over
15 times and added 15 fouls.
Coldwater netted 4-of-7 singles (57.1%), stacked 33 boards
(13 offensive) and amassed 17 fouls.
The Jays visit Van Wert 6:30 p.m. Monday.
Coldwater hosts Kalida 6 p.m. (junior varsity start) Tuesday.

DAVE BONINSEGNA
College (Bowls):
BYU; BYU has scored over
100 points combined in the past
two games, while the ranked
Utes have struggled as of late.
Im taking BYU, but dont
expect 50-plus points.
Ohio; Both teams have had
some big wins this season, but
the Bobcats are on a 3-game
winning streak after losing three
in a row. I like the Cats to extend

it to four.
Georgia St.; Georgia St.
has rattled off four wins in a
row, while San Jose barely gets
enough wins to get a bowl. I like
the Panthers momentum; they
win one more.
Arkansas St.; Arkansas St.
hasnt lost since September
while they took a 37-7 thumping at the hands of the Toledo
Rockets. The Red Wolves are
primed and ready for a win over
La Tech.
South Florida; This is almost
a home game for South Florida
and after big wins over UCF
and Cincinnati, the Bulls should
Our goal is toward the end

of February and into March.
We want success in the postseason and not only want to
get at least a couple of guys
to State as individuals but the
team as well.
Allen East mentor Mike
Abbey was overall pleased
with his bunchs efforts.
Weve got some injuries
and guys under the weather
and our numbers are down
but these guys work hard.
Im pleased with the headsto-heads tonight, he added.
Like most coaches at this
point, you want to get as
many matches as you can
you find out what you
need to work on as individuals so you can build
toward the NWC tournament
and beyond. Our goal is to
win the league but Jefferson
might have the most complete team.
The three teams will see
each other again today at
the Allen County Meet at
Shawnee.

Miller later scored as

Jefferson headed to the locker
room trailing 40-9.
The 6-1 Diller dominated the lane early in the second half for two buckets and
Bellman scored on a break.
Jefferson senior Taylor Stroh
got on board with a floater in
the lane and Jessica Pimpas
converted two at the line after
being fouled on an offensive rebound. After Hoffman
and Bellman scored for the
Bulldogs, Miller scored the
final six points of the third
for the Cats with two free
throws and buckets off assists
by Gorman and Black.
Down 55-19 in the early
minutes of the final stanza,
Jefferson carried its momentum as Macy Wallace scored
with a steal on the press and
added a jumper. Then they
heated up from outside as
Stroh exchanged triples with
Groves Clement. Miller
added six more points and
Mackenzie Hammons a bucket as Jefferson continued
to fight. The scoring ended
with a triple by McCluer and
buckets by Black and Devyn
Carder for Jefferson.
The Bulldogs shot 57 percent from the floor, landing
high percentage shots from
the inside while landing 45
percent beyond the arc.
Jefferson (5-4, 1-2) was
led in scoring by Miller with
15 points and shot 39 percent
have no problems with the

Hilltoppers.
Pros:
New York Jets; The Cowboys
are a mess and the Jets are on a
roll; NY takes care of things in
Dallas.
Minnesota; Despite dropping
their last two, the Vikings did
beat the Bears in their earlier
matchup and do so again on
Sunday.
Denver; The Steelers got
a big win last week in Cincy
but the Broncos are going to
be angry after the loss to the
Raiders. Although the game is in
Pittsburgh, I like the Broncos to
rebound and win.

McCarron to have a good fresh

the win.
New Orleans; The Saints got

well at home and get the win on

Houston; This is for sure a

their last two games but I
am going with the Texans who I
think are a bit more on a path for
a win this week.
Lincolnviews Maddie Gorman pops a jumper versus

Allen East Thursday night. (DHI Media/Tina Eley)

The first half was marked by really cold field goal shooting
by both teams. During those 16 minutes, Lincolnview shot 28
percent (5 of 18) from the field, and Allen East was even worse
at 15 percent (4 of 27). It was 13-10, Mustangs, at that point.
The shooting heated up considerably in the third quarter.
Allen East started it on a 6-0 run by canning its first three field
goal attempts to lead 19-10. The Mustang lead varied between
five and nine points from then until the end of the third quarter
when it was 26-20.
The fourth quarter started with a Wendel put-back to close
the gap to 26-22, but Allen East then pushed it out to the aforementioned 35-25 lead to set the stage for the Lancers last-ditch
rally.
For the game as a whole, the Lancers out-shot the Lady
Mustangs from the field 34 percent (13 of 38) to 28 percent
(13 of 47). The difference in scoring came from one more Allen
East trey (2-1) and more Mustang free throws made, albeit at
a lower percentage 64 percent (9 of 14) to 75 percent (6 of
8). Allen East had fewer turnovers, 9-14, and, thanks largely to
Wyss, won the boards 30-24.
Wendel led all scorers with 12.
For Allen East, sophomore Kyra Clark had 11 and Wyss
had 10.
Defensively, I thought we played solid, said Koontz. We
gave up more than we wanted to in the fourth quarter, but thats
a credit to them. They put some pressure on us, we had some
turnovers, and they made some shots. But Ill take that type of
defense any day, and take our chances on the offensive end if
we can play that kind of defense.
The Allen East reserves are now 4-4 after their 29-24 win.
Kate Newland led the Lady Mustangs scoring with 8 points.
Carly Wendel had 6 points for Lincolnview, which is now
0-6.

Observe the Sabbath
Even God had to rest after six days of labor, and the observance of the Sabbath,
besides commemorating that day of divine rest, is instituted to give all who labor a
rest from their toil. Notice how in the formulation from Exodus, the requirement is
extended even to ones servants and animals: Remember the Sabbath day by keeping
it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath
to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or
daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns. (Exodus 20:8-10) For those of us who are inclined to work seven
days a week, this is surely a good rule. Everyone needs rest, and with work taken out
of the picture we have time to worship, time to spend with family and friends, and
time to recharge lifes batteries. Throughout the Old Testament, we see unequivocal
statements commanding us to observe the Sabbath, with plenty of warnings from the
prophets if we dont. In the New Testament, however, we see a loosening of the particular rules governing the Sabbath, in essence saying that the Sabbath was instituted
for us and should be observed as each person or church sees fit.
Christopher Simon
Then he said to them, The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the
Sabbath. So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.
Mark 2:27-28
Our local churches invite you to join them for their activities and services.

Parking space at premium on Saturday evenings

The problem of finding parking space in Delphos on
Saturdays and especially Saturday evenings is rapidly becoming one for which some remedy must be found sooner or later.
A local businessman stated that if the number of autos
coming to Delphos Saturday evenings continue to increase,
people coming to trade will be required to walk long distances, as they will be required to park many blocks from the
business section.
He stated that if no other provision is made it will be necessary to place a time limit for parking in the business section.
He stated that a more simple remedy could be worked
out if the automobile owners of Delphos would only give
this matter serious consideration. He cited instances where
automobiles owned by Delphos people had been allowed to
stand on Main street for more than three hours on Saturday
evenings, thus monopolizing the space and preventing people
who drive to the city to trade from finding a parking place
near the business section.
The matter was brought before the Kiwanis club several years ago and the suggestion was made at that time that
Delphos people leave their cars in the garage on Saturdays.
This suggestion worked for a time.
(This was 1929, way before parking meters and cruising on
Saturday evenings in Delphos. R.H.)

New Canal Bridge

at Fifth Street
State Superintendent of Public Works, John Miller has
approved plans for the proposed joint county bridge over the
canal here at Fifth street, according to the Van Wert Times,
which says:
The county commissioners and county surveyor have
been advised that John Miller has approved the plans for the
joint county bridge over the canal at Fifth street, Delphos, and
will permit the work to start as soon as the county commissioners have signed an agreement to remove the bridge if the
canal should ever be made navigable again the plans contemplating a bridge of the fixed type.
(After the 1913 flood, boats could no longer use the canal.

Will Delphos Have

An Airport in
Near Future?
This will be up to the voters of this city if the plan suggested by H.V. Evans, secretary of the Delphos Chamber of
Commerce, is carried into effect.
Mr. Evans has been making inquiry concerning landing
fields and is assembling information as to requirements,
probable cost, etc. He is of the opinion that a city which is
not provided with an airport will be sadly handicapped in the
near future and thinks that Delphos should take action at once.
His suggestion as to method of financing the project is that
it be made a real city affair and a bond issue be voted on by the
people. He believes that a field should be leased for a period

WINDOW
TO THE
PAST
of years and that a hangar be erected.

Mr. Evans is in receipt of a letter from George Leasure, of
Ottawa, one of the owners of an airplane in which a Delphos
man holds an interest, suggesting that this plane be moved to
Delphos and that a landing field be provided here.
The letter states that the plane is a Waco 10, practically
new and carries a government license, and we operate as a
limited partnership. All the members are reliable citizens.
My name is George P. Leasure, but I am not related to
your Geo. W. Leasure.
Aviation has come to stay (the iron horse has taken
wings). Delphos is too progressive a city not to have a landing
field. If you are interested please inform me and I will come
to Delphos and talk over with you.
Respectfully,
Ottawa Air Service Ltd
George Leasure
Chairman
The above letter was read at the Kiwanis meeting and they
voted to lend their support to the plan and other local organizations will also be asked to go on record in favor of the plan.

Biggest Farm Deal

Ever in This Section
What is considered the biggest farm deal ever made
in this section of the state was made through the Thos. J.
Welch Realty Co. The John Mueller farm of 127 acres, better
known as the Felix Steinle place, one and a half miles east of
Delphos on the Lincoln Highway and one of the most modernly equipped farms in Ohio, was sold to P.A. Warnecke, of
Glandorf, for $38,000, or nearly $300 an acre.
No expense was spared in bringing the farm up to a point
where it would be second to none. Electricity is used to pump
water, light the house and outbuildings, and is completely
electrified.

Old Fire Engine Sold

Fire-fighting equipment which was sent into the discard
with the arrival of motorized fire departments will soon be
sold by the city of Delphos.
Courtesy of Delphos Canal Commission

The city council instructed the city solicitor to draw up the
necessary legislation to dispose of one of the old steam fire
engines, the old hook and ladder wagon and other equipment
which may not be needed by the city.
The fire engine and hook and ladder wagon to be sold,
were of the horse-drawn variety and served the city for many
years, especially before the waterworks system was installed
and up to the time the department was motorized.
One of the fire engines will be retained for emergency use.
The removal of these will provide space for storing the new
equipment.

Accident at Roundtable
at Cloverleaf Yards
A person of malicious intent is believed to have been
responsible for an accident at the local Clover Leaf yard,
Saturday night at 5:40 p.m. when engine No. 59 crashed into
engine No. 123, causing the latter to run into the roundtable
pit. Both were standing on the cinder pit track at the time. The
engine was not removed from the pit until 1:15 Sunday morning, it being necessary to use jacks in getting her out of the pit.
It is supposed that some fellow, through spite work, pulled
open the throttle of engine No. 159. An investigation is now
in progress.

Opinion
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas everyone!
I hope Im not the only one with
a million little things left to do! I
started off so well this year. I had
my mom done and my husband
more than half done and then Im
not sure what happened but things
started to fall apart.
I know I am in control of what
does and doesnt happen at this time
of year but there are some things
that if they didnt get done, I would
be upset.
The cards are all mailed. My
mother received hers Friday. I mailed
it two weeks ago! My in-laws in
Virginia still hadnt received theirs
yet on Thursday. I know this is a
very busy time of year but I think
two weeks is a fair amount of time
to expect a Christmas card to get
from one place to another considering I could drive it in 10-11 hours
myself.
I also hand deliver some so I
know they get where they are going
on time. I enjoy doing that but this
year, no one was home so I had to
leave them on their porches. I would
have loved to have chatted a little
and wished them Merry Christmas
in person. Perhaps Ill have time to
do that yet in the next week.
I am thoroughly enjoying my
tree and other decorations as is
Ringo! He has pulled several bows
Deck the halls in

globs of mire
Chris Looser
On the
Other Hand
off packages and they have the

tell-tale little teeth marks on them
so he cant blame someone else.
He seems to have an affinity for
pink bows. He has removed three
of them so far. Oddly enough, the
one he keeps picking on is on his
packages.
I have also caught him licking
one of the ornaments on the bottom
of the tree. It is a Santa head with
a velvet hat and white fluffy beard.
I think I have said enough. Its just
too much temptation for him. It
does resemble a toy. Its probably
my fault for placement but its a
large ornament and would goofy
any higher.
We keep telling him Santa Paws
is watching and hes better be good.
He just yawns, scratches and acts
like hes innocent and then gives the
Santa head a lick again. Silly dog.
This coming week is, of course,
the busiest ever with work and parties and visiting and cooking and
aaaaaahhhhh! This too shall pass
and then Ill be sad because its all
over. Its just like anything else. We
wait and plan and dream of what
it will be like and then like that
last crumb in the fireplace on The
Grinch Who Stole Christmas, its
gone.
Somewhere in here I will remember and honor the true meaning of
Christmas. I know its not the bows

and the packages and the garland
and the ornaments and the parties and cookies. Its something far
more wonderful and joyous!
Its Jesus birthday and the hugs
and warm wishes and good will and
love that fills the season.
I had the privilege of visiting
with the folks who are behind the
Community Christmas Project on
Friday. The high school students
who deliver everything were all
smiles as they whisked away gifts
and fruit plates.
What an endeavor! Hundreds of
people come together with donations and manpower to make sure
everyone has a good Christmas in
Delphos. The magnitude of generosity is awesome.
I know we have moved on in holidays but there are so many things
to be thankful for this Christmas
season. My family is happy and
healthy; my fridge and cupboards
have food in them and my home is
cozy and warm.
Ive already have had the best
Christmas ever and it hasnt even
come yet!
Merry Christmas and may your
holidays be blessed with love,
laughter and, of course, good food!
The fog came in on little

cat feet, cold, frosty toes that
extended their claws to leave
soft ice crystals on bark and
low-hanging branches.
The mud, however, rode in
on larger canine paws, determined hooves and rubber
boots. As ground mist melted
in the warmth of December
sun, its daily march from horizon to horizon scrunched into
the lower third of the late fall
sky, bare soil slurped moisture from the damp air. The resulting
slurry lurked at ground level for any and every passerby, ready
to catch a ride.
And ride it did.
Liquified soil skipped merrily along, singing its own happy
slurps, pops! and floops! from underheel to open air. It painted
a toothy grin across front doors and then divided at the roots.
The more adventurous molecules trotted back down the walk
and into the car, ready to spread their silty wings and fly to
new pastures.
Those sedentary sediments who preferred a warm hearth
left their mark on welcome mats, tossed their coats on nearby
furniture, took a bath in the dog water bowl and spread out for
a nap.
Like most people around these parts, my Steven and I are
resigned to muds increased presence in our living spaces for
the several months. Instead of checking my face for smeared
makeup on my morning way out the door, Ive learned to stop
in front of a full-length mirror to check the back of skirt, pants
or boots for muddy nose prints and smears.
Mud was with us at Thanksgiving and I have no doubt mud
will be with us on Christmas morning. The beauty of winter
is that mud is stopped in its tracks when the thermometer dips
below freezing and made scenic by fluffy snow. And within
all that mud remains the promise of spring in all its blooming
splendor.
In the meantime, joy is only a dustpan and a mop away.

Christmas blessings to one and all

Its Christmastime once again. The tree is
trimmed. The stockings are hung. The house
is decorated for the festive holidays upon us.
Its a good time for everyone to put things
into perspective. Maybe your year has been
full of problems and disappointments. Maybe
your year has seen tragedy, suffering and hard
times. Maybe things didnt always work out
the way you wanted them to, but now that the
hectic days before Christmas are over, take a
few minutes to consider the positives.
Christmas can be a day you can clearly see
the beauty, love and joy that exists in your
life. You can understand and appreciate the
efforts, plans and prayers that made this day
as it is.
Stop and listen to the children as they
laugh and play with the Christmas spirit.
After all, isnt Christmas their special time
of the year? Compare that to the plight of the
families around the world who are fleeing
their homelands in search of safety.
Enjoy these moments with them while
they are still with you. Someday they will be
grown up and gone. Raising children is often
an overwhelming challenge, but it is also one
of the greatest joys of life.
If you are getting together with family
and friends this holiday season, be thankful
for that. Be thankful for the opportunity to

share your thoughts and ideas with them. For
many, it is a time to renew old friendships
with people that you have crossed paths with
over the years.
Share the spirit of the season with your
spouse. He or she is the person you share
all the triumphs and failures, all the joys and
sorrows of life. They make it easier to carry
all of lifes burdens.
This is a time for love, forgiveness, joy,
caring, sharing, warmth, light and peace. You
cannot wrap up this gift in pretty paper, its a
present you have to give yourself.

Heres another Murphys Law that most
of us will find very true, especially here
during the holidays.
If you suddenly get a surprise check in
the mail, before you can get it to the bank, you
will get a surprise bill.
*******
Heres a special holiday thought making
the rounds passed along by Del Keup: Good
friends are like quilts-they age with you,
yet never lose their warmth.
It goes on: I have seen too many dear
friends leave this world too soon; before they
understood the great freedom that comes with
Letter to the Editor

Support for Christmas Bazaar great
aging. Whose business is it, if I choose to

read, or play on the computer, until 4 am, or
sleep until noon?
I will dance with myself to those wonderful tunes of the 50s, 60s and 70s, and if I, at
the same time, wish to weep over a lost love,
I will. I will walk the beach, in a swim suit
that is stretched over a bulging body, and will
dive into the waves, with abandon, if I choose
to, despite the pitying glances from the jet set.
They, too, will get old.
I know I am sometimes forgetful. But
there again, some of life is just as well forgotten. And, eventually, I remember the important things.
Sure, over the years, my heart has been
broken. How can your heart not break, when
you lose a loved one, or when a child suffers,
or even when somebodys beloved pet gets
hit by a car? But broken hearts are what give
us strength, and understanding, and compassion. A heart never broken, is pristine, and
sterile, and will never know the joy of being
imperfect.
I am so blessed to have lived long enough
to have my hair turning gray, and to have my
youthful laughs be forever etched into deep
grooves on my face. So many have never
laughed, and so many have died before their
hair could turn silver.

As you get older, it is easier to be positive. You care less about what other people
think. I dont question myself anymore. Ive
even earned the right to be wrong. May our
friendship never come apart, especially when
its straight from the heart.
So, to answer your question, I like being
old. It has set me free. I like the person I have
become. I am not going to live forever, but
while I am still here, I will not waste time
lamenting what could have been, or worrying
about what will be.
And I shall eat dessert every single day
(if I feel like it).
*******
Bob, the editor of 123Greetings newsletter, has this to say: It is easy to give out of
abundance but difficult to open your heart out
of poverty. Giving gives us immense satisfaction. If you think about it, the joy of giving
unconditionally truly surpasses the pleasure
of only receiving.
The true spirit of Christmas is the coming
together of friends and family. Let your love
be expressed in your actions. Have a great
time this Christmas and grab every chance
to put a smile on the face of those who cross
your path.

I want to extend my sincere thanks to everyone who came to
our recent Christmas Bazaar. As always, the money generated
from the Bazaar is used to support mission projects that involve
ministry to women and children as well as some to our church.
Many thanks to our corporate sponsors for their financial support. It was greatly appreciated!
This was our first Bazaar at the new Family Life Center. By
the comments shared by those attending, everyone loved the
spaciousness and the conversation-friendly setting. High praises were offered as well for the delicious meals served.
As with any new venue, we have plans in the works on how
to make every aspect of the event even better for 2016 - especially the need for additional parking.
We look forward to seeing you next year!
Thank you again,
Kay Ahten

More Accurate Diagnoses, Less

Invasive Treatment for Pelvic Pain
A teenager with cramps so intense she
could not go to school
A 30-year-old whose pelvic pain led to
severe emotional distress
An elderly woman who found the simple
act of sitting to be unbearable
For more than 25 years Dr. Maurice Chung
has treated these women and others for a
range of problems, including menstrual pain,
sexual pain, bladder control, and organ prolapse. He is quietly passionate about dealing
with pain in the least invasive way possible.
Avoid Unnecessary Surgery
Pelvic pain is often misdiagnosed as
endometriosis, Dr. Chung explains. In fact,
endometriosis an abnormality of the uterus
accounts for only about 20% of all cases.
Looking at the symptom too narrowly can
lead to the wrong treatment. For example, if a
single organ such as the uterus is believed to
be the culprit, unnecessary surgery can result.
But when other issues are involved such as
nerve or muscle damage even a treatment as
drastic as hysterectomy (surgical removal of
the uterus) wont be effective.
Dr. Chung is committed to helping women
avoid unnecessary surgery. When a woman
comes to me with severe pain, I start with the
least invasive treatment approach. The vast
majority of pelvic pain cases do not require
major surgery, he says.
New Center for Treating Pelvic Pain
Dr. Chung oversees the Van Wert County
Hospital Womens Center of Excellence for
Pelvic Pain, Organ Prolapse and Bladder
Control, a comprehensive treatment facility
opened in 2015. Visitors to the Center include
women at every stage of life, from teenagers
to the elderly.
A graduate of Northeastern University
College of Pharmacy and Tufts University
Medical School, Dr. Chung is board-certified
in both OB-GYN and uro-gynecology and has
been a certified laparoscopic surgeon since
1995.
Pain is not normal
Women may think that symptoms such

as severe menstrual cramps or pressure on
the bladder caused by aging are unavoidable. Or they may be embarrassed to discuss
issues like painful intercourse and urinary
incontinence. Sometimes, after unsuccessful
attempts to treat pelvic pain, women are made
to feel the problem is all in their head.
Women have a tendency to care for family and loved ones first and may neglect or
downplay their own discomfort, Dr. Chung
says. But pain is not normal. We take all
symptoms seriously, and we want our patients
to know they are not alone. With proper diagnosis and treatment, there is a good possibility
we can eliminate or significantly reduce pain
without drastic measures.

Project
One mother picking up her

items said the project is just what
she needed this year to get by.
It means a lot to my family,
she said. I have four children
and this makes sure they each
have a little something under
the tree.
While the effort takes
months to come together, distribution happens within a few
short hours.
The kids get here around 9

a.m. and they are assigned numbers that correspond with what
the family is getting and the bags
are marked with the numbers,
too, Fischer said. The kids
come in, give their number and
theyre handed the bags and off
they go. Were usually done in
about an hour and a half and
then the adults go have breakfast
and we come back and clean up
our space and go home.
That might seem like the end
May the spirit of the season

fill you with joy
and contentment.
O COme, Let

of the project but Fischer said

there is usually a surprise or two.
She has often taken a phone call
from a parent who hadnt been
expecting their children and
plans changed or some other
emergency situation and somehow, the need was filled.
I dont even worry about
how we are going to do it every
year, Fischer said. Everything
falls into place. The community
comes through.
