Residents to see levy renewal in November

BY NANCY SPENCER
DHI Media Editor
[email protected]
DELPHOS A measure to
place a renewal for the citys 4.05mill, 5-year property tax levy on
the Nov. 8 ballot was heard for the
first time Monday.
The renewal has been certified
by the Allen County Auditor to
raise $160,320 per year.
This is just a renewal and wont
cost taxpayers any more in taxes,
City Auditor Tom Jettinghoff said.

The renewal of the levy will give
the city a little less each year but it
is needed revenue.
The levy was first approved in
1976.
A copy of the approved resolution must be submitted to the
Board of Elections of Allen and
Van Wert counties prior to Aug. 8.
Council heard four other new
pieces of legislation on first reading. An ordinance for the 2017
Budget was read with revenue esti-
mated at $3, 119,000 and spending at $4,176,000. Some grants

and other revenus sources being
sought are not included. The budget needs to be to the Allen County
Auditor on or before July 20.
The second ordinance authorized the safety service director to
enter into an agreement with Allen
County Engineers for the tar and
chipping of various streets within
the city limits and in Allen County.
Proposed streets for this service
are: Washington Street from

Fuerst, who has been in education for 40 years, heard his last
school bell on Thursday.
He started his career at Franklin
Elementary, teaching fifth grade in
room 205. In 1978, he moved to

a fifth- and sixth-grade teacher and
the principal. After six years, he
moved back to Franklin Elementary,

was unable to help us out and so
they are behind this year and cant

ducks of bass wood, then it expanded into other birds. At
first when I started carving, it was just ducks and I needed
books to show me what to do, said Alan Bradstock of
Delphos. As he carved more, he soon learned how to try
things on his own. Some of the finished products I keep
in Stallkamps. I have been doing this for six years besides
I work at Stallkamp Drugs. I find this relaxing, he said.
Apollo Travel Agency will officially open its new office
at 303 N. Main St. Monday, according to company owners

office in Delphos since November 1987, also has offices
in Lima and Wapakoneta.

The old saying goes you cant go home again. Doug
Etgen hopes to prove that dictum incorrect as the St.
Johns alumnus returns to his alma mater to take over the
helm of the boys basketball program. Etgen, a 1989 graduate, was introduced at a press conference held at the East
Room of St. Johns High School. The personal side was
one of the major factors in his decision to apply for the
position after four years as head man and athletic director
at Marion Catholic.

Coldwater defeats Kalida for Miller tourney title

BY LARRY HEIING
DHI Media Correspondent

DELPHOS The Coldwater

Little League baseball team defeated the Kalida 12 squad Sunday
afternoon to win the seventh annual
Nathan Miller Memorial Baseball
Tournament.
Coldwater captured the title with
little rest over the weekend as the
Cavaliers defeated the Delphos
Braves Saturday night in a game
that ended near midnight.
After a long drive back to Mercer
County, Coldwater was back at
Stadium Park Sunday morning for a
matchup with Tinora. After defeat-
ing the Rams, Coldwater rallied

for a victory over St. Marys in the
semifinals.
Kalida doubled up Shawnee
Sunday morning 8-4 to move onto
the semifinal round.
The Wildcats survived a pitchers
duel for the 2-1 victory over crowd
favorite Ft. Loramie to advance to
the championship game.
The start time for the championship bout was moved by two
hours to avoid another rain delay
caused by forecasted storms for the
Delphos area.
Coldwater jumped out to an
early 3-0 lead before Kalida battled
back to even the title bout. After the
orange and black took back the lead
4-3, Kalidas Justin Siebeneck hit a

dramatic home run in the Wildcats
last at-bat of regulation to send the
game to extra innings.
Coldwaters Adam Hrycko
responded in the extra frame with a
homer to put the Cavs back in front.
After hits by Casey Goodwin and
Reece Dellinger, Isaac Fullenback
added a pair of much-needed insurance runs with a 2-out single to
plate the pair.
Down by four, Kalida wasnt
about to go back to Putnam County
without a fight. The Wildcats loaded the bases but their comeback fell
short, falling 8-6.
In the consolation game, St.
Marys defeated Ft. Loramie 8-5 to
place third in the tournament.

Following an emotional speech
by Nathan Millers mother Angie,
Coldwater was presented their firstplace prize of mountain bikes for
each team member.
In addition to team awards, the
coaches selected outstanding players of the weekend to the tournament all-star team. Elected to the
team were: Damon Mescher and
Evan Eilerman (Ft. Loramie), Cyrus
Burden (Bath), Christian Commisso
(Tinora), Tanner Howell and Reese
Sweigart (St. Marys). Coldwater
was represented by three players:
Hrycko, Goodwin and Dellinger.
The lone Delphos player on the
all-star team was Colin Bailey of
the Braves.
Sunday followed a steady rain
all Saturday afternoon with all the
scheduled games completed.
Games were halted at the Dee
and Mel Westich Baseball Complex
when an early evening storm dump
a half - inch of rain on the Delphos
area.
The fields looked like the Major
Leagues when the grounds crew
of umpires and volunteers poured
drying agents on the puddles of mud
that accumulated on the diamonds.
After an hour-long rain delay, play
resumed with the last out being
recorded near midnight.

Jays edge Knights in 2-1 pitchers duel Whos better? The

By Jim Cox
DHi media Correspondent
[email protected]
DELPHOS Monday
evenings ACME game
between Crestview and St.
Johns was delayed 35 minutes by lightning and a bit
of rain.
After that, though, the
weather and the baseball
were excellent.
The Blue Jays won 2-1
in a game that featured
some dandy pitching. St.
Johns is now 3-0 while
Crestview drops to 2-3.
The Jays used three pitchers, the best of the three performances coming from Jacob
Youngpeter. The hard-throwing lefty mixed a nice fast
ball with a sharp-breaking
curve through four textbook
shutout innings. He struck
out seven, walked none and
40 of his 56 pitches were
strikes. Two relievers, Corey
Kaverman and Troy Elwer
divided the remaining three
innings, with Elwer getting
the save, although he gave up
the lone Crestview run.
Meanwhile, the Knights
Derek Stout also had a nice
outing. He went the distance, his repertoire featuring a good fast ball and
nice curve. He yielded the
two runs on six hits, striking out seven and walking
one. He threw 89 pitches,
62 of which were strikes.
Delphos scored once
in the bottom of the first
when second baseman Troy
Schwinnen reached on a
throwing error, stole second
and came in when catcher
Jaret Jacksons flare found
the grass in shallow center.
The next serious scoring
threat came in the bottom
of the fourth when, with

one out, the Jays put runners on second and third
hit batter (Jackson) and
double by first baseman
Eric Vogt. The runners held
as Youngpeter bounced
out to Stout. Kaverman,
who was playing shortstop
at that point, smoked an
opposite-field grounder
down the third base line.
Caden Hurless backhanded
the ball ten feet behind the
bag and gunned Kaverman
down to end the threat.

Stockwell pitches Jefferson to ACME win

BY JIM METCALFE
DHI Media Sports Editor
[email protected]
SPENCERVILLE Jeffersons
baseball coaches know who their ace
will be come spring of 2017.
Senior-to-be Jace Stockwell has
shown that so far in the 2016 ACME
Summer Baseball League.
He combined with Tyler Schrider
(who got his first save) to lift the Wildcats
to a 4-2 conquest on a warm, then cool
(once threatening skies passed), late
spring evening at Spencerville High
School.
Stockwell went six frames and fanned
10, walking one and ceding four hits and
two earned runs.
Spencerville, opening its summer
season, had taken a 2-1 lead in the bottom of the second before the Wildcats
(3-2) tied it with a single tally in the top
of the third: a 1-out walk to Stockwell
by starter Brady Nolan, a stolen base,

a Jacob Pulford groundout and a wild
pitch.
The Bearcats got a 2-out double to
right Jordan Boop couldnt come up
with the catch on a sliding attempt in
the home half. When Brady Becker flied
out to left, that started a string of eight
straight outs, five via the strikeout.
Jefferson threatened to take the lead
in the top of the fourth on a 1-out liner
to left by Schrider, a walk to Dre Reed
and a bounceout to first by Caleb Lucas,
moving the runners up a base.
Delphos took the lead in the top of
the fifth. With one down, Stockwell
grounded a hit inside the third-base line,
advanced to third on a throwing error on
Pulfords grounder and scored on Jordan
Boops blooper to left center field.
The visitors looked to add more
space in the upper sixth against reliever
Hunter Stephen: a rope double to left
by Schrider and a 2-out slash to center
by Jacob Boop. After the latter burgled

second, Stephen fanned the next batter.
Nolan finally broke Stockwells out
streak with a 1-out wicked-hop single
that handcuffed shortstop Mahlie and
into left field.
Delphos added an insurance run in
the seventh: a double to left center by
Stockwell, a 1-out grounder by Jordan
Boop and a bloop to short left center by
Shurelds.
Schrider ceded a leadoff slap to center by Zach Ringwald and wild pitches
eventually got him to third with two
outs. Chandler Kahle walked but J.T.
Thierys comebacker ended the game.
Jacob Boop led off the game with a
slap to center but Nolan picked him off.
Brett Mahlie doubled to right center,
Stockwell was safe on an error and a
free pass to Pulford loaded the bases.
Jordan Boop forced Mahlie at home on a
comebacker and Shurelds bounced out.

world may never know!

Jim Metcalfe
There
are
still at least two
games left in the
National Basketball
Association Finals
and already, the
presumed
champion Golden State
Warriors are being
compared or comparing themselves? to teams like the Showtime Los Angeles
Lakers of 1986-87.
That is, dead-eye shooting guard Klay Thompson and
on the Warriors, that is a shared position because Steph Curry
and others all share that position claimed they could beat
those Lakers.
I think it was more in jest to his father, former NBA great
Mychal Thompson, who was a backup center to Kareem
Abdul-Jabbar on those teams, but you know how things get
blown up in a hurry.
And the elder Thompson agreed with his son on that,
which infuriated one Earvin Magic Johnson so much that
he phoned Stephen A. Smith and soon-to-be departing Skip
Bayless on ESPNs First Take Tuesday morning and disagreed with the youngster and his former teammate.
Its all good and playful, though it makes for some interesting comments!
I am a Laker fan and I remain one despite their falling
apart at the seams.
I agree with my friend, Magic (he doesnt know about that
secret friendship! ssshh!). They were smart, athletic, deep and
just wore teams down with their withering break and should
that not work, one Abdul-Jabbar would have a field day against
Andrew Bogut, etc.
Just like if you were a Boston Celtic fan of those days of
Larry Bird, Robert The Chief Parish, Kevin Frankenstein
McHale and Cedric Cornbread Maxwell; you would definitely say that the 1987-88 team that added one Bill Walton as
a superbackup would have squashed these Warriors like a bug.
That is why it is fun to have a good discussion as long
as no one gets beat up! about things like that but its all you
really can do.
It is hard to compare teams from different eras.

Saturday.

Blankemeyer, Ottovilles
Brendan Siefker and the

Relay team had the top finishes of the day with runner-up
showings in their events.
L i n c o l n v i e w s
Blankemeyer finished second in the 100 hurdles for a
second straight year at state
in Division III. Blankemeyer
finished second to Northwest
Conference rival Trevor
Bassitt of Bluffton as he finished in 14.62 to Bassitts
14.53. Blankemeyer had the
third-best time entering the
finals at 14.73 behind Bassitt
and Arcadias Clint Recker.
My race didnt go as
clean as I wanted it to, a disappointed Blankemeyer said.
I hit the first hurdle pretty
hard and it slowed me down,
I fell behind and lost my
momentum. I didnt get back
up to normally where I would
run. I could see where Trevor
was and I was just a little
behind him. Then I stumbled
coming over the last hurdle,
when I was about to sprint
to the finish. I stumbled and
I knew he had me. After
getting second last year, my
mindset was to be on the top
of the podium, it just didnt
fourth in the 3,200-meter run.

Siefker took the lead early
in the 1,600 race and held
it for two laps before being
shuffled back in the pack
after being bumped rounding
the second turn on lap three.
Siefker crossed the finish line
in third place with a time of
4:00.00.
Before the medals were
handed out to the top eight,
Siefker was bumped up to
the runner-up finish as the
runner from Mount Gilead
was disqualified.
To run such a good race
here today, its awesome,
Siefker said. I was hoping to run under 4:20 today
and I was a little under that,
so I was real happy. At the
beginning of the year, I never
thought I would be running
these times. My goal was
to get in the 4:20s. Im just
really happy and Im excited
for next year.
Siefker said the key to him
performing well in the 1,600
was the start as he wanted to
run a good first lap and did
completing it in 61 seconds.
He also had enough left in the
tank for a strong finish that
helped him get to the top of
the podium.
The whole week, and last
week, me and coach have
been emphasizing a good
first lap, Siefker said. I
went out and ran a 61-second
split, so that was good. I had
a good start and the last 200
meters I had a good kick as I
passed four or five guys.
Running in the middle of
the pack in the 3,200 with
a lap to go, Siefker used a

For the Bulldog boys,
senior Baily Clement made
two trips to the awards stand
as he was sixth in the 400
dash in 50.55 and he joined
senior Alex Giesige and
juniors Caiden Grothaus and
Boone Brubaker to finish
eighth in the 1,600 Relay in
3:26.91.
Sometimes life is not
always fair; you dont finish
how you want to finish. You
dont get what you want to
get but thats just how it is
sometimes, Clement said. I
got the baton in eighth and
tried to do what I could and

to catch someone.
It wasnt what I expected
it to be, Giesige said. Still
not many people come down

be happy with what you get,
take it and enjoy what you
get.
Van Wert seniors Katie
Trittschuh and Keagan
Hardmon both walked away
from the 2016 championships
with two medals around their
necks. Both of these athletes
only competed the last two
years for the Cougar track
teams.
Trittschuh picked up
finals, Shelbys CeCe King

passed her with a throw of
39-1/2. Trittschuh reclaimed
the seventh position on her
next attempt with a throw of
39-9, which was her best of
the day.
In discus my best throw
was my first one and today
my best throw was my second
from the last one, Trittschuh
said. I just calmed down,
thought about where I wanted
to be and I was able to pull
it off. I just told myself this
is not where I wanted to be
since I finished eighth yesterday, I wanted to get higher
than that. It was a little anger
inside me and I wanted to
make it happen. And I did.
Hardmon, a senior, finished fourth for a second
straight year in the 400 dash
running a time of 48.76. The
Ottoville sophomore Lindsay Schweller delivers the baton

This feeling is totally
indescribable. It absolutely takes your breath away,
Stephens said. As soon as
I saw Raiya start the relay,
I knew we would be off to
a great start. Of course Im
only 5-2, so its hard for me
to see any of the race. But I
knew we were good hands
and I saw we were picking off more people. Once
I got the baton, I knew I
couldnt let them down, I
could let myself down and I
couldnt let down the town of
Columbus Grove. I feel like
we are all winners.
Sophomore
teammate
Taylor Ellerbrock finished
her second medal Saturday

morning by finishing seventh
in the shot put with a throw
of 39-9.
I couldnt be happier
right now, Trittschuh said.
I had a foot and a half PR,
so I am really proud of that.
I want to thank my coaches
because I wouldnt have been
so successful without them.
Im really glad I joined the
track team when I did and
Im thankful for what they
have taught me.
Trittschuh used her training Saturday to finish in seventh place. The Cougar senior

Beforehand, I was a little

Musings

Those Showtime Lakers were in an era
when hand-checking was allowed and much
more prevalent, for example; it was harder
for players to get to the basket and they still
scored 118 points a game.
As others have pointed out and all of
us who watch the game can all plainly see,
though, the 3-pointer has become a much
more significant part of the game that is opening up the lane and old-school back-door cuts,
for example.
And the Warriors have brought back the
fast break as a major part of their offense
much more than even teams led by Steve
Nash did just 10 years ago.
In those days, true centers you know,
guys that could play with their backs to the
basket were much more a part of the game
than today; they are replaced by stretch 5s
and stretch 4s.
Even a guy like Dave Cowens or Alvin
Adams (showing my age, aint I?), who would
have fit right in today with their high-post
abilities to shoot and pass, were good around
the basket.
Today, the import of the European big man
has changed that, as well as the changing
game in American high schools and colleges.
There are still some centers that dont venture five feet from the basket, like Superman
Miller
Craig Mansfield and

our Delphos City Parks
Department do a great job
keeping the diamonds in top
form, commented Miller.
Weve had rain on six out of
seven years of this tournament
and with the exception of last
year, weve played through it.
Dwight Howard, but he is on his way out.

Versatility is the name of the game and the
Warriors and those Showtime Lakers
are as versatile as anyone.
I am waiting for someone to come out with
a video game or other gadget with these
two teams matching up and see who wins with
todays rules, yesterdays rules, even rules in
the 1960s.
How would these Warriors match up with
the Celtics of Bill Russell.
Do you ever think we will see anyone
averaged 50 points a game for a season like
Wilt the Stilt or 23 rebounds like Chamberlain
or Russell?
Or how would they handle the Michael
Jordan-led Chicago Bulls of 1995-96 that won
72 games?
Needless to say, we will never know the
real answer, though we can speculate and
hopefully have a little fun doing it!
All I know is this: great teams and great
players would be great in any era or rules.
Can you imagine the monster a Wilt the
Stilt would have been with todays training
methods, even as he was a physical freak in
those days?
Or transport Lebron James to 1968 without
these methods. I think hed have still been
quite good, dont you?
Lets finish the series before any more
foolishness!
Out of town coaches and parents compliment us over and

over during the weekend how
beautiful our park is and how
lucky we are to have such a
great facility.

Building a financial emergency

kit for your family
BY NATHANIEL SILLIN
What would a sudden

financial emergency be
in your life? It could be a
storm causing massive property damage to your home.
It could also be something
more personal, like an accident that would cut off your
ability to make a living.
Whatever it is, if someone else had to step in to
help you in an emergency
situation, its important to
have a plan in place so they
know what to do.
A financial emergency
kit is a crucial component
in financial planning. In
short, a financial emergency kit involves identifying
and planning for potential
financial emergencies that
could affect you and your
loved ones. Building a successful one goes beyond
sorting paperwork it
involves looking at a variety of potential situations
in your life and then asking, Whats the worst that
could happen?
You will want to create a
kit a set of physical or digital documents and instructions that can help you or
someone else you trust manage in a crisis. Here are some
items youll likely want to
include:
1. Estate documents.
Estate planning is really
the highest form of financial emergency planning,
because it addresses the
ultimate personal financial
emergencies medical incapacitation or death. Would
your family have easy access
to this material if something
happened to you? In your
family financial emergency kit, estate documents
would include copies of
current wills (for you and
your spouse or partner), your
advanced directives (which
instruct doctors on end-oflife or other stages in med-

and guides. Some people

need a little guidance, others
need a lot. A family financial emergency kit needs to
be usable by all designated
family members. Put yourself in the role of a friend or
family member whos been
called in to help you in a
crisis. If you had to step in
to settle an estate, healthcare
or disaster emergency for
a friend or family member
and they werent around to
advise you, what information would you need to get
started? In any category of
information you include in
a financial emergency kit,
include a separate file or digital instruction that details
people to call, account numbers if necessary, relevant
online and physical addresses and other key data to
advise that person about
whats in front of them and
what they should do. If you
work with qualified financial
experts, make sure their contact information is included.
6. Easy access to essentials under lock and key.
If youre away from home
when damage occurs or if
family members need to
access vehicles or other
spaces, make sure you have
keys and access codes locked
safely in your emergency
kit. You will also want to
ensure that your emergency
contacts have the necessary
access to your emergency
kit in order to retrieve these
materials. You or loved ones
might also need access to
funds, particularly cash in
an emergency. If you dont
have a bank account established strictly for emergencies that allows specific family members to write checks
or make cash withdrawals,
you should consider it.
Bottom line: Building
a financial emergency kit
requires some thinking,
but it can help you avoid
major losses and speed up
decision making in a crisis.
Work with people you trust
to make it accessible and
useful to your family and
trusted individuals.

REED INSURANCE AGENCY
ical care), health/financial

powers of attorney (which
designate specific individuals to step in to manage
your money or healthcare
if you cannot do so) as well
as other documents that provide additional guidance for
operating businesses and
managing and distributing
other assets you have. Make
sure these documents are
always current and that contact information is included
for all the qualified experts
you used to prepare them
estate or business attorneys,
tax professionals and financial planners.
2. Insurance policies.
Being able to find home and
auto policies in a natural
disaster is a no-brainer, but
its important to think a little
more broadly. File as much
policy and contact detail
as you can for any health,
disability, business, life and
accident coverage you have
and remember that its particularly important to note
or file documentation on
this coverage at work, too.
Sometimes we sign up rather blindly for work-based
benefits only to realize how
important they may be in a
financial emergency.
3. Tax materials. If a family member dies or becomes
incapacitated, tax matters
still need to be attended to.
If you work with a tax professional, make sure their
contact information is in the
digital or physical kit (see
indexes, contacts and guides,
below), but its also important to keep past returns and
relevant supporting data
based on your individual tax
situation.
4. Investment, savings and
retirement documents. If you
work with a qualified financial planner or tax expert,
you may have access to a
particular system that lists
and track this information in
an organized way that many
of us dont have at home.
However you plan and track
your investments, it should
be included in your kit.
5. Indexes, contact sheets
Do you or a loved one STRUGGLE on the stairs?

trump Perry and Bing; you decide.

Consider his Johnnys
Greatest Hits compilation
album run on the pop charts back
in the day: The album made
its debut on the Best Selling
Pop LPs chart in the issue of
The Billboard dated April 14,
1958, and eventually spent three
weeks at number one. It had its
last appearance there over 10
years later, in the July 20, 1968,
issue, which marked its 490th
non-consecutive week there, a
record for the most number of
weeks on the magazines list of
the most popular pop albums in
the US that it held for 15 years
until Pink Floyds Dark Side Of
The Moon reached 491 weeks
there in the issue dated Oct. 29,
1983. (Wikipedia)
Longtime Tonight Show host
Johnny Carson said of Mathis,
Johnny Mathis is the best ballad singer in the world. He
made 33 appearances on the
Tonight Show through the years.

An interesting side story

to Mathiss music is his role
as narrator of the ESPN film
documentary 51 Dons. In
1951, future Pro Football Hall
of Famers Gino Marchetti,
Bob St. Clair and Ollie Matson
powered the University of
San Francisco Dons to a sparkling 9-0 record. As one of the
nations top teams, USF seemed
assured of their first-ever bowl
bid and a payout that would
save their cash-strapped program. The Dons were invited
to Miami under one condition
they take the field without their
two African-American stars,
Ollie Matson and Burl Toler.
The Dons refused. By choosing
not to play, they set a precedent
of racial equality more than a
decade before the Civil Rights
Movement. (Wikipedia)
Johnny Mathis, an accomplished track athlete in his own
right, was a good friend of
Ollie Matson having sung at
Matsons wedding.
Johnny Mathis sits in the
Pantheon of All Time Great
Singers. Beginning with the
1950s, Mathis has achieved hit
records in every decade to present. The year 2016 marks his
60th year of delighting audiences with his amazing voice.
Good Vibrations indeed.

2016 Relay and Bark for Life honorary chairs
Della and Clair Lucas
Couple fought cancer

diagnoses together
BY KRISTI FISH
[email protected]
DELPHOS Della Lucas received her

cancer diagnosis in November 2006. Her
husband, Clair, received his diagnosis only a
few months later in February 2007. Together,
they will serve as honorary chairs for the 2016
Relay for Life.
On Nov.20, 2006, Della was told she had
cancer.
I remember that date well, she said.
Her doctors informed her she had stage one
breast cancer. She received chemotherapy and
radiation. She also took steroids which she
believes contributed to her sleepless nights.
Della remembers none of the food she ate
tasted good; it tasted like tin.
Clair is quick to point out that he was
lucky.
I did not have as many adverse effects as
she did, he said.
His cancer was caught early.
In 2007, Clair went to the doctors for a
routine checkup, where some of his numbers
in the blood work were higher than normal.
They later informed him he had prostate
cancer.
The doctors called it early-stage, Della
said.
Clair had radiation and took medication
to treat his cancer one of his treatments
was seed therapy but he did not receive
chemotherapy.
I was fortunate it got caught early; I just
went in for a regular check-up, he said.
Della said the diagnoses were manageable
because they had each other.
We got through it together, she said.
But it makes you stop and think.
Yeah, it makes you think about others
who are worse off than we were, Clair finished for her.
Della said she wants those facing cancer to
know there are good doctors.
I should say there are caring doctors, too,
she said. Youre not just a number to them.
Clair said his experience made him appreciate his friends and family more and Della
believes her experience brought her closer
to God.
They will lead the Survivors Lap on Friday
at Relay for Life.
I want to be able to show people there are
survivors, Della said.
Clair and Della also had advice for those
who want to help catch cancer in its early
stages.
Get a yearly checkup, Clair said. I
never had any symptoms before.
Della is also quick to remind women to
receive mammograms every year like she
does.
So many people think theyve never had
cancer so it wont happen to them but all you
need is that one time, she added.
Brittany Schimpf, center, and her dog, Peanut.
Schimpfs chihuahua small but

mighty in her breast cancer journey
BY KRISTI FISH
[email protected]
DELPHOS On June
11, pets and their owners will gather at Leisure
Park to raise money for the
American Cancer Society
through Bark for Life.
Brittany Schimpf will be
the grand marshal of the
event.
In August 2015, Schimpf
received the diagnosis. She
had breast cancer. One
week later, she had surgery
to remove two tumors and
lymph nodes.
Schimpf has since gone
through chemotherapy and
radiation treatments. She
started a new medication
that she will take for two
years before switching to
another chemo drug for
three years. In September,
she will head back to the
doctors office to receive a
scan to see what has hap-
pened with the cancer.

In June, she will participate in Bark for Life with
her dog, Peanut. Peanut is
a 3 1/2-pound Chihuahua
who has been a part of
Schimpf s support system since she received the
diagnosis. Although he is
small and cannot retrieve
things for her, he can provide her comfort.
He has laid in bed with
me a lot, Schimpf said.
Bark for Life honors the
contributions and support
of canine caregivers.
Schimpf got involved
when her veterinarian
asked her if she would like
to be the grand marshal.
My vet asked me to do
it, she said. She treats
you like family, so she
knew what was happening
in my life.
The others in her support system include her
husband, her four daughters, her other family and
friends.
My support system is
awesome, she said. My
family has just been there
to back me up.
Schimpf plans to raise
money for Bark for Life
by selling raffle tickets.
Wal-Mart donated a TV to
her cause, so she has been
selling raffle tickets. So
far, she has made more
than $200 and hopes to
raise at least $500 for Bark
for Life.
Schimpf hopes Bark
for Life will allow her to
meet others who have been
through similar experiences.
She hopes others will
learn by attending Relay
for Life on Friday and
Bark for Life on Saturday
that cancer affects more
than just the patient.
Cancer doesnt just
affect you, the person with
cancer; it affects all of
your loved ones, she said.

Breakfast at St. Peters serves 24 in first 24 minutes

Hannah Joseph, left, Alanna Knebel and Alivia Joseph enjoy breakfast at St. Peters Lutheran Church. Breakfast is offered for kids at 8-9 a.m.
on Monday-Friday through August. Pancakes and cereal are served every morning. French Toast is also served on Tuesdays and scrambled eggs
and meat on Wednesdays. Kids also receive a sack lunch. Those who want to volunteer and are of high school age or older may call Susan McGue
at 419-234-6448. Donations are welcomed, particularly snack-sized containers of pudding, jello, fruit and applesauce. (DHI Media/Kristi Fish)
Council
Councilman Del Kemper also
requested the maintenance crew
take a hard look at some the alleyways in town.
Some of those alleys are
well-traveled, Kemper said.
There are some pretty big potholes
that could do some real damage.
Coleman said the Maintenance
Department was looking into alleys
as well and were waiting on the
citys grader to be fixed.
The third ordinance authorized
Jettinghoff to issue payment of
$79,226 to Stolly Insurance for
the citys property, general liability
and fleet insurance for the 2016-17
year. Mayor Michael Gallmeier told
council the cost was less than last
year. The ordinance also extends
the contract with Stolly for three
years. Coverage expires on June
30. Council opted to let the ordi-
nance ride for another reading.

Council heard on second reading
an ordinance increasing the pay of
auxiliary patrolmen from $10 to
$11 per hour. It has been at least 15
years since the auxiliary personnel
have seen a raise.
Coleman gave his administrative
report starting with the $97,000
rebate the city recently received
from AEP Ohio.
We submitted the pilot project
for the rebate and it was granted,
Coleman said. We may be eligible
for once the build-out is completed.
Smaller screens are needed at
the wastewater treatment. Coleman
said he was looking at a demonstration unit of the smaller screening
for $50,000 so the city could get
a true test of the process as well
as the new technology used at the
plant during the Fibracast pilot
project.
It would be removed when

we do the build-out next year,
Coleman said. We talked to DEFA
and they are re-evaluating our
application because of the process change and it will include the
screen demo.
The city did not receive a Safety
Grant for assistance in purchasing
a new ambulance. Coleman said
the vehicle was still needed and
council would have to look at the
budgets when considering the purchase.
On the flip side, Coleman said
the governors Capital Budget
includes $125,000 for the Kiwanis
Splash Pad Project.
Coleman also reported he, the
mayor and Fire Chief Kevin Streets
continue to meet with American,
Marion and Washington Township
representatives on safety service
contracts.
The Natureworks project at the
Delphos-Gillmor Reservoir has

been pushed back due to rain.
The project should still be completed by the end of the June,
Coleman noted.
Liebrecht Construction has been
awarded the bid for upgrades to the
walking path around the reservoir.
The plan is to re-grade the existing aggregate, add four inches of
Ohio Department of Transportation
aggregate and remove vegetation
from the reservoir walkway.
Coleman added that the administration would have proposals of
changes in the citys water and
sewer policies, including adjustments and tap fees. He added that
he is ready to put out the bid for
changing the citys water meters
and purchasing automatic readers.
Council also approved donating
a family swim pass to the Canal
Days Committee as a prize for
Purse Bingo.
Trivia
Answers to last Saturdays questions:

Singer Bruno Marss real name is Peter Gene Hernandez.
During medieval times, a knight would tie or pin a
certain ladys favor (a scarf, ribbon or handkerchief)
to indicate his performance at a jousting tournament was
dedicated to her.
Todays questions:
While they were best known for protecting the president, U.S.
Secret Service was originally created to fight what problem?
An artist from Iowa built a complete model of what
fictional building entirely out of matchsticks?
Answers in Saturdays Herald.
Todays joke:
A jogger running down a country road is startled as
a horse yells at him, Hey, come over here buddy! The
jogger is stunned but runs over to the fence where the
horse is standing and asks, Were you talking to me?
The horse replies, Sure was, man Ive got a problem. I won the Kentucky Derby a few years ago and this
farmer bought me and now all I do is pull a plow and
Im sick of it. Why dont you run up to the house and
offer him $5,000 to buy me. Ill make you some money
cause I can still run.
The jogger thought to himself, Boy, a talking
horse! Dollar signs started appearing in his head. So
he runs to the house and the old farmer is sitting on
the porch. The jogger tells the farmer, Hey man, Ill
give you $5,000 for that old broken down nag youve
got in the field.
The farmer replies, Son, you cant believe anything
that horse says. Hes never even been to Kentucky.
Siefker laid to rest in fitting style

Bob Siefker was laid to rest on Tuesday. In keeping with his love of old cars, his casket, made of barn side oak from a nearly 200-year-old tobacco farm in Louisiana,
was taken to Walnut Grove Cemetery in the back of Siefkers 1949 International
pick-up truck. Fellow Delphos Area Car Club members also drove their vintage
vehicles to the cemetery. (DHI Media/Nancy Spencer)

I AM NOT LOST
GOOD INTENTIONS CAN HURT
LEAVE WILDLIFE IN THE WILD
wildohio.gov/s taywild
Throughout his career,

Fuerst has made himself
known to many residents in
Delphos but he has also made
an effort to know them.
Fuerst prides himself on
remembering his students.
When he sees them in the
store or out on the street, he
does his best to call them by
their name.
It shows them they had an
impact on my life, he said.
Hopefully, I had an impact
on theirs.
Fuerst also remembers
many of the plays he watched
his players run. He remembers
the halfback pass they would
start off almost every game
with for the freshman football
team in 1978. He remembers
Chuck Wilson throwing the
football to Curt Fish and he
remembers the play ending
in a touchdown almost every
time. He also remembers their
only loss was to a junior varsity team at Wayne Trace that
year.
He remembers when the
football team went to The
Horseshoe in Columbus for
the state championship in
1985. He remembers the team
that came back the next year
that went 10-0 and didnt
even make the playoffs. He
remembers teaching reading
and English when he thought
hed enjoy math more, but he
was proud of that year.
Our scores came out very
well, he said. I was very
proud of those students.
Fuerst remembers the players on nearly every team he
coached and the students in
nearly every class he taught.
He just has to say the alphabet
sometimes.
If I go through the alphabet, I can usually come up
with the name, he said.
Fuerst knew so many of
the people of Delphos whether
they were in his classroom or
out on one of the many fields
he coached on. He coached
football as an assistant, he was
an assistant and head coach for
basketball and an assistant and
head coach for baseball.
I enjoyed getting to work
with elementary kids during
the day and high school kids
after school, he said.
When Fuerst leaves, he
looks forward to spending
time with his 10 grandchildren
but he doesnt plan on forgetting the children he taught.
I hope they know they
were a top priority, he said.
He once spent a year working with a student to help him
pass his proficiency tests and
called him at the end of the
year to tell him he had passed
all five of them.
That stands out to me,
Fuerst said. I wanted to call
him. We usually just send
those reports home.
When Fuerst leaves, he
plans to take a little something
with him.
I have so many memories
and theyre going to be things
that I take with me for the rest
of my life.
Fuerst hopes to leave
behind something for the students and staff, too.
I hope I leave behind that
a little extra effort means so
much, he said. I hope I led
by example.
Fuerst has spent more than
half of his life in education and
it will be a big change going
from his strict schedule during
school to a retired life, but he
knew it was time to leave.
Its been forty years, he
said. Its time.
Whether he was teaching,
coaching, or leading as principal, Fuerst had one philosophy.
I dedicated myself to the
job I was doing, Fuerst said.
He may have taught students, but Fuerst was able to
learn from them, too.
I learned that not every situation was what it seemed, he
said. You had to adapt to the
specific needs of the child.
Next school year, Bob
Hohlbein will take over the
position and Fuerst is positive
Hohlbein will do a good job.
Mr. Hohlbein has been
an asset to me these five
years that Ive been back at
Franklin, Fuerst said. I hope
that he learned as much from
me as Ive learned from him.
Fuerst spent 40 years in
education and 35 of them were
with Delphos City Schools.
After he leaves, he doesnt
plan to forget the time he spent
there.
I will always be a
Wildcat, Fuerst said.
