Although the target date for planting corn crops is May 10,
excessive rain and cooler temperatures have farmers in the
Tri-County area anticipating getting out into the fields to begin
spring planting.
Van Wert County Ohio State University Extension Educator
Dr. Curtis Young said Ohio is experiencing a typical spring and
the weather is not unusual.
We need a good week of sunshine and soils need to warm
up, Young explained. If seeds would have been planted ear-
lier in the season, they would be laying there rotting.
Soils need to be dry enough to get into the fields or equip-
ment will cause soil compaction which leads to other problems.
United Equity Fertilizer Plant Manager Dan Haehn said as
soon as soils dry, farmers can get their rigs back out in the field
to perform chemical burn down.
A chemical burn down is an application of herbicide
similar to Roundup homeowners use to kill weeds in the
fields, Haehn explained. Beans can be planted one to two
weeks after the application.
One good thing has come from the higher rain totals this spring.
Once things get planted there will be a 1 1/2 - 2 inch deep
sublayer of moisture ideal for planting corn and soybeans,
Haehn said.

Menke pleads guilty in shootings
BY ED GEBERT
Times Bulletin Editor
[email protected]
VAN WERT The
woman charged in the fatal
shooting of her mother and
the shooting of her father
entered a guilty plea on Friday
in Van Wert County Court of
Common Pleas. Tamara K.
Menke, 48, Ohio City, had
sought a plea of not guilty
by reason of insanity but had
been declared competent to
stand trial after two reports
showed her not to be insane.
Menke pleaded guilty to
murder, a reduced charge
from the original charge
of aggravated murder, and
to felonious assault for the
shooting of her father. Counts
of attempted murder, aggra-
vated burglary and burglary
were dismissed in exchange
for her plea.
Menke admitted to shoot-
ing her mother, Barbara
Robinson, in the chest and
shooting her father in the
thigh at around 6 p.m on Nov.
14, 2013. Reports stated that
Menke emptied a .22-caliber
rifle before leaving her par-
ents home at 223 S. Fulton
St. in Van Wert.
Menke eluded capture all
of that evening before being
arrested the next morning
near one of the buildings on
her Brittsan Road property.
Her mother died en route to
a Fort Wayne hospital. No
reason for the shootings was
released.
Menke will be sentenced
on May 16 in Van Wert. She
faces a minimum of 17 years
in prison and a maximum of
life in prison plus 10 years.

Elida to wait until November
for emergency levy
BY CYNTHIA YAHNA
Herald Correspondent
[email protected]
ELIDA An emergency levy for Elida Local Schools
will not appear on the August Special Election ballot.
Following a special meeting to hear comments from
the public, the Elida Board of Education failed to pass by
unanimous vote a resolution declaring their intent to put
the measure on in August.
School Treasurer Joel Parker spoke to the more than 50
concerned district voters about why the levy is needed. He
pointed out that other school districts spend in a high range
of $15,924.48 to the lower end of $939 per pupil and Elida
is in the low end on expenditure.
We are just trying to maintain our bare-bones program
and with the inflation of expenses such as health care,
gas for the buses, utilities, etc., we have no control over,
Parker said. It would be nice to grow instead of going
backwards.
A concerned citizen, who wanted to remain anony-
mous, stated My husband and I are farmers and we just
cant take much more of being taxed. All the farmers talk
amongst one another and they cant take any more taxa-
tion. This has to be fair and it is not fair. We pay on the
farm land, not just our home.
Superintendent Don Diglia said he understands money
is tight.
I understand where you are coming from. We just dont
have any options; it is unfortunate that the way the state
of Ohio funds education is by taxing on the landowners,
he said.
Jackson Burklow was adamant on not putting the levy
on the August ballot.

Franklin Elementary School kindergartners in John Kroegers classroom
have been studying fossil reptiles of the Mesozoic era, which included
individual presentations on one of the enormous creatures and creating
fossil imprints in a clay-like substance made from natural ingredients.
On Friday, students gave presentations and fielded questions from class-
mates about their dinosaur. Pictured is Kearah Cain explaining that the
Brachiosaurus had a small brain, weighed 40 tons and was a herbivore.

The Little Girl Who
Fought the Great Depression:
Shirley Temple and 1930s by
John F. Kasson
Her image appeared in
periodicals and advertisements
roughly 20 times daily; she
rivaled FDR and Edward VIII
as the most photographed per-
son in the world. Her por-
trait brightened the homes of
countless admirers: from a
black laborers cabin in South
Carolina and young Andy
Warhols house in Pittsburgh
to FBI Director J. Edgar
Hoovers recreation room in
Washington, DC, and gangster
Bumpy Johnsons Harlem
apartment. A few years later
her smile cheered the secret
bedchamber of Anne Frank in
Amsterdam as young Anne hid
from the Nazis. For four con-
secutive years Shirley Temple
was the worlds box-office
champion, a record never
equaled. By early 1935 her

She ends up taking a job as a

bestselling crime fiction writ-
er from New York City who
accompanies his fiance on a

by a strong sense of familiar-

is overcome with a feeling of
deep peace. Hes never been
to Ohio before, but something
in this house feels right, and
he purchases the farm to use
as a retreat. Something about
the peacefulness of the house
frees him from the crippling
writers block that threatens
to ruin his career, and some-

his home makes him less and

that affects their future. Will
Hope overcome her fear of
embracing love again?
The Target by David
Baldacci
The President knows its a
perilous, high-risk assignment.
If he gives the order, he has
the opportunity to take down
a global menace, once and for
all. If the mission fails, he
would face certain impeach-
ment, and the threats against
the nation would multiply.
So the president turns to the
one team that can pull off the
impossible: Will Robie and his
partner, Jessica Reel. Together,
Robie and Reels talents as
assassins are unmatched. But
there are some in power who
dont trust the pair. They doubt
their willingness to follow
orders. And they will do any-
thing to see that the two assas-
sins succeed, but that they do
not survive. As they prepare
for their mission, Reel faces
a personal crisis that could
well lead old enemies right
to her doorstep, resurrecting
the ghosts of her earlier life
and bringing stark danger to
all those close to her. And all
the while, Robie and Reel are
stalked by a new adversary: an
unknown and unlikely assas-
sin, a woman who has trained
her entire life to kill, and who
has her own list of targetsa
list that includes Will Robie
and Jessica Reel.

Read first-hand accounts of

Pain Doctor Discovers Blood Flow-
Busting Material Into Miracle Socks
for Diabetics and Foot Pain Sufferers!
Breakthrough circulation-boosting fibers improve blood flow, relieve swelling,
boost oxygen flow, and eliminate foot fatigue - naturally in as little as 5 minutes!
Being Diabetic, I never had pain-free feet - UNTILNOW!
PAD ADVERTSEMENT
What part of your swollen, tired,
or achy feet would you like to see
go-away?
If you suffer from poor circula-
tion, injury, swelling or any condi-
tion that leaves your feet fatigued
and sore, then read on to discover
the breakthrough that can change
your life.
Good news comes in the form of
a pain-busting microfiber that is
used to weave a circulation-boost-
ing sock, called Bambusa
TM
.
Better Blood Flow
The miracle sock is made from
a new, patented anion-technology
that is weaved into every strand of
thread used to make a Bambusa
TM
sock. This special micro-fiber
thread is made from revolutionary
bamboo charcoal to stimulate
blood flow andrevitalize feet.
When this material comes in con-
tact with body-heat it is proven to
release circulation-boosting ions.
The 3D-weave technology used
in the material has been compared
to infrared light therapy to help re-
vitalize stiff and sore muscles. The
manufacturer, who also makes a
back and wrist sleeve, says the ma-
terial provides almost instant relief
to any part of the body it touches,
making it ideal for diabetics, ath-
letes,inflammation, stiffness and
swelling.
Anne M. from California agrees.
Bambusa socks are absolutely the
most comfortable socks I have ever
worn! My feet are no longer fa-
tigued!
Therapy
Without APrescription!
When the socks were pho-
tographed using a thermographic
imaging camera, results showed up
to a 17% to 22% increase in blood
flow. This helped to improvemus-
cle oxygenation and decrease foot
fatigue. The socks have been proven
to provide extended relief from
cold, swollen and fatigued feet.
Doctor
Recommended
Pain specialist
of 30 years, Dr.
Jahner comments
on the 3D-weave
technology. In-
frared therapy has
been used for
years at medical
clinics to treat vascular and circula-
tory conditions. Physical therapists
use infrared therapy to speed re-
covery. Better blood flow equals
less pain. This microfiber works
much the same way.
"Circulatory dysfunction affects
MOST of the adult population in
the United States. Heart Disease,
Strokes and Diabetic conditions are
at epidemic levels; anything that
improves circulation improves cel-
lular health and vitality. I use the
Bambusa product myself and rec-
ommend it to my clients. It really
works! states Dr Jahner.
Results in Minutes?
John G. of California claims he
felt immediate results with his
tired, swollen feet. Without exag-
geration the relief was almost in-
stantaneous. It is like a heating pad
set to low and wrapped around my
calf. I will be replacing my entire
set of dress socks with these
socks!
Relief for Tired, Swollen Feet
Bambusa
TM
socks are not a med-
ical device or compression socks
because they dont restrict blood
flow. Utilizing the special negative-
anion technology, they comfortably
increase blood flow and oxygen to
tissues. My feet felt wonderful,
cool, and I never got that pins and
needles feeling anymore. I love my
Bambusa
TM
socks, says Nancy,
from NJ.
They are ideal for diabetics and
those suffering from neuropathy or
injury from repetitive use. Bam-
busa
TM
socks can also bring com-
fort to tired legs within minutes of
putting them on, energizing indi-
viduals who spend long hours on
their feet.
Goodbye to Pain and Numbness
Marilyn H. has suffered persist-
ent foot problems for years and no-
ticed fast results. The issue for me
was persistent numbness in my
toes - it was gone completely after
a few days of wearing these socks!
Being diabetic, I never had pain-
free feet - UNTILNOW!
I went out on the golf course
for 18 holes of golf, and when I got
home my feet werent swollen,
they werent sweating and my feet
didnt hurt, says Lou B. fromNew
York.

Im sure everyone has heard the fantastic
news about Lakeview Farms making a com-
mitment to Delphos and bringing its Bristol,
Wisconsin, operations here.
President Gene Graves is a quiet hero. He
looked at his options and saw a win-win for
everyone. He believes in Delphos, he believes
in the local workforce and he believes his
business will thrive here. His faith in his com-
pany, Delphos and our people might just save
us all in the end.
The boost to the local tax base and util-
ity usage is a much-needed shot in the arm
for Delphos. The bounty will also spill over
into other areas like the retail and restaurant
sectors.
After a long, hard road of turning the citys
finances inside out and back again, the light at
the end of the tunnel is a welcome sight.
While the flux of revenue will be a relief,
its still not enough to overcome the deficit
spending the city faces in 2015. Even if the
income tax increase passes, the city will not
see full collection until 2015. The Lakeview
expansion will also take time and it will be
nearly a year before the extra income from
that will be fully realized.
On Tuesday, I hope you will exercise your
rights and cast a ballot. You already know
how I feel about the tax and while you may
not share the same view, the process is just as
important as the outcome.
Ive explained the tax before but for those
of you who may have missed it, here it is
again.
The .25-percent income tax increase will
generate approximately $400,000 for the
Parks and Rec Department. The money put
into that budget from the General Fund will
stay there to be moved around to cover the red
ink in other budgets.
A person that makes $300 a week will pay
75 cents a week for the tax increase. Thats
25 cents on each $100 dollars. With more tax-
payers than households, the increase in water
and sewer rates will need to be significant to
reach the $400,000 to keep the Parks and Rec
operating as it is now and will be much more
than income tax increase per household.
We can continue to point fingers and be
angry about past decisions and perhaps a little
bad luck or we can band together to fix the
problem and perhaps in three years when the
tax expires, it wont need to be put back on
the ballot.
Its up to you to decide how we fill the gap.
At the end of the day, its coming out of our
pockets.

DEAR EDITOR:
I want to personally thank the Delphos police officer that happened to be in the right place
at the right time.
Recently, my granddaughter, Anna Fitch, and two of her girlfriends were taking a bike ride
along Pierce Street here in Delphos. As they were riding, they came upon a baby owl lying
on the sidewalk. They went over to the owl and it opened its eyes and appeared to be hurt.
They didnt know what to do. About that time, a Delphos police officer drove by and the girls
flagged the officer down. He stopped his car and got out to see what was wrong. The girls
explained the owl looked hurt and the officer told them it looks like the owl has a broken wing.
He went over to his car, got a box out and picked up the owl, very carefully, and placed the
owl in the box. He took the box, with the owl and put it in the police car. He assured the girls
he would take care of the owl and drove away.
The officer is a hero to those girls. We are always hearing bad things and this is one of the
nicest stories I have heard in a long time. I have always told our children and grandchildren, if
you need help ask a police officer and they will help you no matter what the situation.
We dont know the officers name, but whoever he is; he did a good deed that day. God
Bless the Delphos Police Department for caring and keeping our town safe.
Thank you,

Music expresses that
which cannot be put into
words and that which cannot
remain silent. Victor Hugo
Music has shaped my life.
Its gotten me through tough
times; its enhanced my happi-
ness in good times. Its provid-
ed every one of my emotions
with a soundtrack. Without
music, I honestly dont know
where Id be.
I was in band from fifth
to 11th grade. I played the
saxophone. There were times
at band practice or while per-
forming in concerts, that I got
chills from the melodies we
produced. Making music has
always been so therapeutic
for me. I also learned to play
piano at a fairly young age and
it still relaxes me to sit down
and play some of my favorite
tunes.
Listening to music has also
always gotten me through
life. So many songs come to
mind when I think back over
the years. When I was little
playing dress-up, my parents
would play records and I
remember twirling in my pret-
ty dress singing along to songs
like Barbara Ann by the
beach Boys and The Little
Old Lady from Pasadena by
Jan and Dean. I have fond
memories of hearing my dad
sing along to all the songs as
he fed the fish or took out the
garbage. I think music just
makes a house happier.
Debbie Gibson, Tiffany
and Madonna soon took
over. Oh, and lets not forget
the New Kids on the Block
(Love you 4-ever, Jordan). My
friends and I would dress up,
play with my moms make-up
and talk about boys as we sang
along to hits like Lost in Your
Eyes or Ill Be Loving You
Forever. Good times.
By the time I was old
enough to actually date, Deana
Carters Strawberry Wine
became imbedded in my brain
as a sort of anthem to leav-
ing my girlhood behind and
becoming a young woman. I
still think of my first boyfriend
when I hear it. It embodies
the transition into adulthood
and the loss of innocence in a
beautiful way.
When it comes to break-
ups, I am the queen of the
CD break-up mix. I still pop
CDs in my car and shake
my head at the forlorn tone
of so many of my old mix
CDs, remembering the sad-
ness and depression I felt at
the end of every relationship.
Songs like Julie Roberts
Wake up Older (which is
the best break-up song ever,
by the waycountry songs
are always best for these sort
of things) or Ushers Let it
Burn used to make me so sad
and make me want to rekin-
dle whatever relationship had
fizzled out at the time. Now
they fill me with a sense of
strength. At the time I made
the CDs I was in a dark place
I never thought Id come out
ofnow I know I am stron-
ger than I ever knew.
Guest Columnist
Wind turbines a good deal for some
BY TOM
ODENWELLER
Washington
Township Trustee
Last August, I wrote a let-
ter to the editor that expressed
my feelings about the wind
turbines that were being built
in Van Wert County. My con-
cerns regarding the wind tur-
bines were, and
still are, primar-
ily financial.
To be truth-
ful, I dont like
the way they
look. I think
there are other
detriments too,
like property
value of homes
located in or
near the wind
farm, road
damage from
hauling those
160, 000-pound
turbines to the
locations and when they haul
the many loads of stone and
concrete to build the foun-
dations. Iberdrola representa-
tives say theyll fix the roads
and maybe that is the case
but there are other issues, too.
Some farmers have expressed
concern about whether theyll
be able to bring in airplanes
to apply chemicals to their
farms if the neighbors have
windmills, so it also becomes
a property rights issue for
some people.
It is my understanding
the wind turbines that are
currently constructed in Van
Wert County do not pay real
estate taxes like homeowners,
other businesses and farmers.
They pay Payment In Lieu
Of Taxes or PILOT. These
PILOT payments resulted
in a significant abatement
of taxes for the owners of
the Turbines, and that the
payments remain constant
throughout the 20-year term
and do not rise like prop-
erty taxes. For the record,
I dont want to pay taxes
either and Id like to have my
taxes abated, too. Wouldnt
everyone? I believe tax abate-
ments are useful and proper
if they help generate enough
local jobs and investment. I
simply do not believe that
the significant
a b a t e me n t s
provided by
PILOT are
appropriate for
this project.
Re c e n t l y,
there were
articles in the
Delphos Herald
and Van Wert
Times Bulletin
showcasing the
PILOT pay-
ments being
presented by
representatives of
the wind mills to
local political entities. As I
recall, the article mentioned
that the first payment was
$2.4 million to Van Wert
County entities, and $300,000
to Paulding County entities
for a total of $2.7 million
per year. My understanding is
that these PILOT payments
will continue for 20 years, for
a total of $41.4 million. That
is a lot of money.
One key element that I
didnt see in the news article
was that the developer of
the wind turbines, Iberdrola
Renewables (an affiliate of
Iberdrola, an oil company
based in Spain), received
about $173 million in sub-
sidies for that project. That,
too, is a lot of money. Another
way to put it is that taxpay-
ers invested $173 million in
those wind turbines and tax-
payers will get back about
$41.4 million. What a deal!
Is it any wonder our govern-
ment is so deep in debt?
At a recent meeting held
at Lincolnview High School,
representatives of Iberdrola
talked about how they made a
significant investment in Van
Wert County. They have made
a significant investment. The
truth, however, is much of the
investment did not go to any
entity in Ohio, let alone Van
Wert County and possibly not
even in the United States.
According to Dan Litchfied,
a representative of Iberdrola,
the turbines were purchased
from Gamesa, a foreign
firm which has a facility in
Pennsylvania, and the tow-
ers are also sourced outside
Ohio, too. Subsequent to my
questions, Litchfield wrote
to me that they estimate
the domestic parts content
of our project to be 60-70
percent. Thats good but
the subsidy is 100 percent
domestic content.
I dont want my children
or grandchildren (or yours) to
have to pay for projects like
this that are not financial-
ly independent. If we want
expensive green energy,
then we should be willing to
raise the price of electricity
to make it financially feasi-
ble. Giving out subsidies and
borrowing the money from
China and others, and then
passing the responsibility to
repay those debts on to future
generations shouldnt be an
option.
If this topic is important to
you, call or write your elect-
ed representatives. Tell them
how you feel. Make sure you
know how people running for
election or re-election stand
and how they vote. Then
exercise your responsibility
and vote accordingly.
For full disclosure, I cur-
rently serve as a Washington
Township Trustee in Van
Wert County.

Hollywood
Today marks a very important day for the
museum, a day that shows that in time, history
repeats itself. Some of you out there who are
my age or older (you know who you are baby
boomers and their parents) have fond memories
of our building. Everywhere I go in the area,
people are always talking about the recreation
center for Delphos and all the fun they had here.
The upstairs gallery was used as a gymnasium,
a dance hall, a place to jump on a trampoline or
just a place for teens
to hang out. Tonight
we are going to
revisit that era with
a spectacular high
school prom.
The teachers, stu-
dents and parents
have been working
every day for almost
two weeks and this
morning at around
11 or so, you will
be able to see the
fruits of their labor.
Each night I go up
and look at the prog-
ress and each time it just
seems to keep expand-
ing. There are portions of the museum down-
stairs that will play an important part say
cheese. They seem to have thought of every-
thing. I cant wait to see everyones faces when
they first come up the stairs. By the way the
theme is perfect for postal history. I know, I
know we always end up back at postal history.
The theme is Hollywood and no other subject
has been so completely displayed on postage
stamps. Where would you like to start? The
first one that comes to my mind is the Marilyn
Monroe. For the fairer sex it is usually John
Wayne or Elvis Presley. Remember when the
post office showed you two different versions
of an Elvis stamp? One was a shot of him in
his later years and the other was a shot from his
prime. The public got to vote on which one they
wanted and on his birthday, Jan. 8, 1993, the
Elvis stamp was released. Just in case you think
he is still pumping gas in Michigan someplace,
he would have been 58 years old on that day.
Along those lines, there has always been some
controversy over the death or non-death of
Elvis; however, if you know the rules of people
on postage stamps you would realize that the US
Post Office declared he was dead. The rules also
said that he was dead for at least 10 years. The
post office made a killing at the stamp coun-
ter for several reasons. First to vote you had to
mail in your vote, and then so many fans bought
sheets and sheets of the stamps they were never
used on letters.
If you are curious about how many stamps
there are that were produced about the vari-
ous aspects of Hollywood and the theater, just
Google Hollywood postage stamp images and
be sure to hit the more images after the first five
or six are displayed. If I were to list them all it
would take up a whole page of the newspaper.
When I got to 150, I stopped counting. Some
of my favorites include Lucy & Desi, Charlton
Heston, Charlie Chaplin, Cowboys of the Silver
Screen, Classic Movie Monsters, Judy Garland,
Audrey Hepburn, Edward G. Robinson, and
lets not forget Bugs Bunny and the whole
Looney Tunes gang. If you come to the lobby of
the museum and look at the pushcart on display,
you will find numerous products that we used to
sell that sported these stamp images. I love my
Tweety and Sylvester necktie, and my coffee
cups of Dracula and Frankenstein.
I have heard many times what could you
possibly learn from stamps. If I want to learn
about the culture of a nation, I look to see who
their heroes are, and what subjects mean the most
to them. Postage stamps are an excellent way of
getting information quickly. However, we dont
want people to jump to conclusions. Could
you imagine
what people
would think
if all they saw
was our stamps
of Homer
Simpson, the
Bowery Boys
and Garfield?
So consider
this an invita-
tion to stop
up and see the
amazing job these
students have
done (only available between 11-noon today).
While you are there think about how nice it
would be to have a graduation party, wedding
shower or reception in this wonderful new
venue. Just a note: we still have a couple seats
left on the bus to Chicago but time will expire by
the end of the week.
Many of you are aware that a couple of
families have contributed money to us in order
for the Museum of Postal History to award
scholarships to students from both Delphos high
schools. Heres a little incentive: for all of those
people who book a graduation party this year
10 percent of the rental cost will be set aside for
the scholarship fund and the museum will match
it. So everybody wins!
To the students of northwest Ohio, we hope that
this will be a very safe prom and graduation season.

DELPHOS Jeffersons baseball team knew
what it had to do on a chilly and windy Friday after-
noon at Wildcat Field; score four runs to at least tie
Bluffton in a Northwest Conference.
Unfortunately for the Wildcats, they could only
get a pair in falling 5-3.
The game had been suspended Tuesday due
to weather in the middle of the fourth frame with
the league-leading Pirates (10-6, 6-0 NWC) up 5-1
after their turn at bat and was continued at that spot
Friday.
Jefferson (12-7, 3-3) did challenge
Bluffton complete-game starter Trent
Phillips (2-0; 7 IPs, 8 hits, 3 runs, 2 earned,
2 bases-on-balls, 2 hit batters, 7 strike-
outs; 54 pitches Tuesday, 80 Friday 84
for strikes) on resumption of play. Gage
Mercer singled to left and advanced to third
on groundouts by Jordan Herron and Ryan
Bullinger. Pinch-hitter Tyler Rice walked
but both runners were left on base.
The lefty-throwing Bullinger came on
in relief of Ross Thompson (3-2; 4 IPs,
3 hits, 5 runs, 3 earned, 2 BBs, 5 Ks; 71
pitches, 44 for strikes) in the fifth and registered
three innings of spotless relief (3 Ks; 34 pitches, 22
for strikes).
The Wildcats got within 5-2 in the home fifth.
Jace Stockwell singled to left and an out later,
Ross Thompson (3-for-3) was plunked. Austin
Jettinghoff singled up the gut; an error on the play
allowed Stockwell to score and put Thompson at
third. Jefferson took second on defensive indiffer-
ence but the Wildcats again stranded two (10 total).
The hosts tried to get closer in the sixth with
two down. Josh Teman lined a shot hard off third
sacker Dustin Kuhlman for a hit and Stockwell was
plunked. However, two more were stranded.
The Cats got within the final score in the
seventh. Thompson blooped a single to short left
center, swiped second, took third on Jettinghoffs
groundout and scored on a 2-out liner into right by
Herron. However, Bullinger flied out to center to
end the game.
I liked what we did at the plate today. We chal-
lenged in every inning today, as well as every inning
Tuesday, Jefferson coach Doug Geary explained.
We just couldnt come up with the big hit today
to score more runs; if we get one here or there, we
might have been able to tie the game or win it. We
seem to have regained our confidence at the plate
with what we have done the last four nights after
going through a string where we had struggled.
Ryan did a great job in relief; that was a change
from what Ross had shown and he did a great job of
giving us a chance, plus we made plays behind him.
We just had to come back from too deep a hole.
Pirate coach Sam Fruchey felt fortunate to sur-
vive.
We left our bats in Bluffton tonight. Their
pitcher did a great job of keeping our batters off-
balance, Fruchey added. Trent has been our closer
most of the year, so he has the experience of pitching
out of jams. He did that all four innings today; they
hit him some but he kept away from the big inning.
We made a couple of mistakes in the field where
weve been pretty good this season but, again,
we kept away from giving them the big inning.
In the first 3 1/2 innings Tuesday, the Wildcats
minus starters Rice and Fitch (sickness) went
up 1-0 in the bottom of the first. With one down,
Hunter Binkley walked; with Thompson up, the
runner took off and the senior lashed a double to
deep left to get the freshman home.
Bluffton left one base-runner on in the
second.
Herron led off the Delphos second
by getting on (throwing error) and pinch-
runner Damien Dudgeon stole second.
Bullingers sinking liner to right center
was caught by diving centerfielder Drake
Luginbuhl and the next two batters were
retired.
The Pirates scored five times in the
visiting third on two free passes, a sacri-
fice (James Harrod), a big error and three
hits: a 2-run double to left by Tyler Belcher (scor-
ing Phillips and Chris McClain), a run-producing
double to right center by Austin Bricker (Brandon
Skilliter) and a run-scoring chopper to left by
Phillips (Bricker). Kuhlman bounced out to plate
pinch-runner Dustin Falk for the fifth run.
Thompson lined a knock into right center with
two down in the Jefferson third and stole second.
Jefferson hosts Van Wert for a 10 a.m. double-
header today.

Local Roundup
Schroeder wins 9th game,
Lady Bulldogs bounce Rockets
By Dave Boninsegna
DHI Correspondent
[email protected]
COLUMBUS GROVE
Hope Schroeder is no stranger
to tossing gems on the softball
diamond; the Columbus Grove
senior nabbed her second vic-
tory in as many nights as the
Bulldogs defeated the Pandora-
Gilboa Lady Rockets 12-2 in
Putnam County League soft-
ball play on Friday afternoon.
Schroeder retired the first
11 batters she faced before
Hunter Hermiller reached on
an error, followed by a Jena
Sigler double.
However, the Bulldogs
struck early in the contest.
Columbus Grove scored five
runs in the first on three extra
base hits; Schroeder, Katie
Roos and Deanna Kleman all
doubled for the home team.
Kyrah Yinger went 2-for-
4 with an RBI. She led off
the game with a single, stole
second, then came around to
score on a sacrifice bunt by
Brooke Hoffman that dropped
about two feet in front of home
plate. Hoffman was out at first
but heads-up and speedy base-
running by Yinger plated the
first Grove run of the game.
Schroeder doubled and
scored on a Micah Stechschulte
single. After Roose doubled
to put runners on second and
third, Kleman knocked in the
final two runs of the inning,
making it 5-0 after one.
The home team added
one more in the second when
Schroeder helped her own
cause by driving a Megan
Maag pitch over the left-field
wall to bring the score to a 6-0
count.
Schroeder continued her
dominance in the center circle,
striking out seven in the game
and setting the Rockets down
in order for the third inning in a
row in the top of the third.
The Bulldogs would dupli-
cate their 5-run inning of the
first in the fifth inning, send-
ing nine batters to the plate.
Mackenzie Wurth was 2-for-3
on the day and led off the
frame with a double, later
scoring on a wild pitch after
Hoffman moved her to third on
an infield hit.
Schroeder would reach base
on a walk and score, along with
Hoffman, on a Stechschulte
double. Roose sacrificed
Stechschulte home to give
the Bulldogs an 10-0 lead.
However, the scoring was not
done yet as Monica Delgado
(2-for-3, 2 RBIs) hit her sec-
ond 2-bagger of the game and
the third Grove double of the
inning to put the home team on
top 11-0.
Nevertheless, the Rockets
would not quit. P-G got sin-
gles from Brittany Riegal,
Oliva Maag, Kayla Gibson
and Vivian Nofsinger to drive
home two runs in the top of the
fifth to make it an 11-2 contest
and avoid the run rule for the
moment.
In the home half of the
fifth, Wurth led off with a walk
and scored one batter later on
a Yinger double to send the
Bulldogs to 9-4 overall and 3-0
in the PCL. Pandora-Gilboa
falls to 2-9 and 0-2.
Grove hosts Waynesfield-
Goshen for a noon double-
header today.

Lady Cats rally past
Lady Green
DELPHOS The Jefferson
Lady Wildcats defeated
Ottoville 12-9 in non-league
softball action Friday night at
Lady Wildcat Field.
The game was postponed
Tuesday due to wet grounds.
Winning pitcher for the
Wildcats was Claire Thompson
(2-8) going the distance with
five strikeouts and two walks.
Leading the Wildcats in hit-
ting was Hannah Sensibaugh in
going 3-5 with two doubles, a
single and 4 runs batted in.
The Lady Wildcats (2-12)
rallied from an early 6-0 deficit
in the top of the first.
We didnt get down on
ourselves when we fell behind.
Thats a positive and a good
sign, Jefferson coach Josiah
Stober pointed out. We have
preached all along about the
little things and whereas last
night we made a lot of mis-
takes, tonight we only had
four errors. Throwing where
we were supposed to, mak-
ing plays in the field, those
things. Maddie (Jettinghoff)
was outstanding behind the
plate, throwing out two base-
runners; Jessica (Pimpas) made
a great play in left.
Ottoville had 13 hits while
the Wildcats had eight.
Ottoville mentor Joe
Modica was disappointed in
the last few innings.
It comes down to not
being able to complete a game
and finish. We started out hot
and then relaxed too much,
Modica added. Its not the
youngsters that are making the
mistakes in the field; its some
of the veterans. Again, we lose
our focus too much.

DELPHOS There must be something
in the water in St. Henry. The Redskins have
won 20 state championships - including three
baseball titles in 1999, 2000 and 2003.
Theyve had numerous grads have suc-
cessful college and even professional
careers; their baseball unit finished
24-6 last season and were crowned the
mythical state poll champion.
This season the St.Henry baseball
team is a veteran group returning
nine lettermen especially on the
mound.
One of pitchers in the strong Redskin rota-
tion is senior Jason Jacobs, who pitched a
complete-game shutout with no walks against
St. Johns at Stadium Park Friday evening as
the Redskins rolled 11-0 in Midwest Athletic
Conference action.
In the Redskin first, they put together four
runs versus starting pitcher Jacob Youngpeter
on a hit batter, a sacrifice fly (Jeff Paul), a
walk and three hits, including Ryan Mikesells
2-run double (Austin Bills, Brian Holloman)
and a wild pitch that scored Brian Kremer.
Senior Ben Wrasman led off the bottom of
the first for the Blue Jays with a solid hit to
left field. Jacobs retired the next three batters.
Stammen led off again in the second inning,
reaching on a walk and getting second on a
groundout. Paul hith a rocket that ricocheted
off Youngpeters leg, scoring Stammen, but
Youngpeter stayed in the game and recorded
the last out of the half-inning.
The Jays went down quietly in the second
and third innings.
The Redskins added another run in the
fourth inning without the benefit of a
hit: a hit batter (Kremer), a stolen base
and consecutive groundouts.
T.J.Hoersten reached on a single to
center field with one out in the home
half. With the Jays desperate to score
runs to get back in the game, Hoersten
attempted to swipe second base but was
gunned down by catcher Holloman. Kyle
Pohlman made it back-to-back hits for the
first time and Gage Seffernick reached after
a bobble by Stammen. Jacobs escaped the
scoring threat.
The Redskins score twice more in the
fifth inning and coach Ryan Warnecke called
Hoersten in for relief.
The Blue Jays mounted their biggest threat
of the evening by loading the bases in the
sixth inning: a hit by Heiing, Pohlman reach-
ing on an error and Seffernicks liner to cen-
ter. Jacobs pitched out of trouble again.

Roundup
Jays
Twenty-five year coach of the Redskins, John Dorner, said
Jacobs did a great job pitching out of jams all night against a
young Blue Jay squad. Im happy that he got out of all of those
innings to preserve the shutout for us.
The Redskins pushed the lead to 11 with two more runs in
the final inning on two hits, including a triple by Bills.
Jesse Ditto hit a shot to the gap in right field to lead off the
seventh inning but Bills picked the ball up at the fence and
gunned Ditto down at second base trying for the double. The
Jays went down from there for their 12th loss of the year.
We are lacking that timely hit to score some runs,
Warnecke said. Its the same story all year as our mental mis-
takes cost us runs.
With the win, St. Henry improves to 15-2 and 5-0 in the
MAC. The next game for St. Henry will be Monday at home
against Spencerville.
The Jays hit the road with three away games next week
starting with a MAC contest at Marion Local on Tuesday.

You can find your way out of almost depession
DEAR DOCTOR K:
Recently Ive been feeling
sad and tired. My doctor
doesnt think Im depressed,
but I know somethings not
right. What could it be?
DEAR READER: Doctors
typically define diseases
by how they appear in their
most extreme form. I call
it the tip of the iceberg
phenomenon. For example,
you dont have diabetes until
your blood sugar reaches a
certain level. You dont have
lupus until you have a certain
combination of symptoms,
physical examination and
laboratory abnormalities. The
same with multiple sclerosis.
Yet lots of people have
pre-diabetes: Their blood
sugar levels are not high
enough to qualify for the
diagnosis of diabetes, but
they have a higher risk than
those without pre-diabetes
to develop the disease in the
future. And many people
have illnesses with some
feature of lupus or multiple
sclerosis. Sometimes they go
on to develop the full-blown
disease, and sometimes not.
The same is true with
depression. In between a state
of positive well-being and
full-blown major depression
lies a large gray area of
persistent negative mood.
A newly emerging term for
this gray area is almost
depression.
If you are almost
depressed, you experience
some symptoms of clinical
depression, but your
symptoms are not intense,
frequent or persistent
enough to be diagnosed
as major depression. Still,
these symptoms negatively
impact your quality of
life. And they affect your
mood, perception, thought
processes, emotions, physical
condition, motivation, work
performance and social life.
Almost depression is not
something you can simply
snap out of.
Heres a quick quiz to help
determine whether youre
almost depressed. Check all
statements that describe how
youve been feeling in the
past month:
-- Im frustrated over little
things that dont usually
bother me.
-- Ive been avoiding my
friends.
-- I have not been sleeping
well lately.
-- Nothing tastes very good
these days.
-- Id like to just stop the
world and get off for a while.
-- Nothing seems very
funny to me.
-- Nothing seems very
interesting or exciting to me
lately.
-- My fuse seems shorter
than it used to be, and I get
easily irritated.
-- Im not as interested in
having sex as I used to be.
-- Id really like just to be
left alone.
-- I have trouble
concentrating on a book or
TV show.
-- I just feel tired all the
time for no reason.
If you checked off two or
more statements, you may fall
somewhere on the depression
spectrum.
The good news is that
you can get your life back.
One place to start is with an
informative new book called
Almost Depressed, written
by my Harvard colleagues
Dr. Jefferson B. Prince and
Dr. Shelley Carson. In this
book, Drs. Prince and Carson
discuss proven strategies to
help improve your mood,
renew your energy and restore
your spirit. You can find more
information about the book at
my website, below.
If you think you might be
depressed, but your doctor
says you dont meet the
criteria for depression, dont
let that mean that there is
nothing to be done for you.
You can get help.

SATURDAY,
MAY 3, 2014
Dont waste precious
time on regrets. Let go of
the past and take advantage
of the terrifc things coming
your way. All you have to
do is embrace your future
with a positive attitude and a
willingness to try something
new.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20) -- You will meet with
someone who could have a
positive effect on your future.
Your clear thinking will
enable you to fnd a solution
that will spark a proposal
worth considering.
GEMINI (May 21-June
20) -- Consider what you need
to do to reach your target. An
apprenticeship or educational
course can help lead the way to
a brighter future. Preparation
is the key to success.
CANCER (June 21-July
22) -- Surround yourself
with children or entertaining,
creative individuals. You
will be very sensitive today,
making it a must to think
before you react. Keep positive
thoughts in the forefront of
your mind.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
-- You may not be seeing the
whole picture regarding a
work situation. Be careful not
to offer any suggestions until
you are sure of all the details.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-
Sept. 22) -- You can make a
difference if you try. Dont
be afraid to speak up. Your
colleagues will be very
interested in your suggestions
and will want to help you
reach your goals.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct.
23) -- Dont get caught up in
someone elses issues. Its very
unlikely that you can change
his or her mind. Keep a frm
hold on your own dreams, and
you will come out ahead.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
22) -- You shouldnt let your
creative ideas go to waste.
Put your innovations on paper
and share them with others.
Some lucrative partnerships
will develop. Romance will
heighten your personal life.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov.
23-Dec. 21) -- Positive
fnancial changes are
apparent. If you make money
matters a priority, you will
beneft from your creativity
and resourcefulness. Changes
at home will add to your
comfort.
CAPRICORN (Dec.
22-Jan. 19) -- A business or
personal partner may try to
discredit you. Listen carefully
to the whole story before you
take a stand. Dont let your
emotions cause you to jump to
conclusions.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-
Feb. 19) -- Enjoy fraternizing
with clients and colleagues
today. You will fnd that you
have a lot in common with
your peers, and socializing
will make your workplace
more inviting.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March
20) -- You are in the right
frame of mind to learn
something new. Discover
different cultures, traditions
and beliefs by reading
about or visiting a different
geographical location.
ARIES (March 21-April
19) -- Changes happening
around you may be confusing.
Dont feel pressured into
making alterations of your
own. Take stock of what you
have and what you need before
you make a move.

Now that Ive made it through
every break-up I will ever endure,
hopefully, my life is full of a
myriad of musical tastes. I still go
through bouts of depression, and
for me, listening to happy music
makes it worse. I need to embrace
my depression, to hold it to my
body fiercely like a warm blan-
ket. Jacks Mannequins Dark
Blue and P!nks Sober have
gotten me through many daysI
have learned to handle my bipolar
disorder and alcoholism in part
because of empathetic music like
this. Songs can be like friends to
me when I dont have the energy
to actually talk to a person. Music
helps me tremendously.
Of course, Im a big fan of
upbeat music as well. This
Years Love by David Gray is
what Andy and I danced to at
our wedding. Recently weve
sort of adopted I Wont Give
Up by Jason Mraz as our new
song. My dad and I danced to I
Loved Her First by Heartland at
the wedding. It is still our song.
My mom says Van Morrisons
Brown-Eyed Girl is my song,
so I consider that our song.
There are endless other pieces
of music that have helped me,
guided me, touched me in some
wayI could go on forever.
Think about the songs that have
helped to shape you throughout
your life. Which songs do you
associate with each phase youve
gone through? Maybe make a
CD of the soundtrack of your life
to share with your children or just
listen to on your own and think
back to all the moments that have
molded you into the person you
are today.
Tell your story, because we all
have a great story and one that
should not remain silent.

Answers to Fridays questions:
Tank become the name of the armored assault
vehicle originally called a landship by the British during
World War I because the British military officials didnt
want the Germans to find out that they were developing a
new top-secret weapon, so they referred to the prototype
of the landship as a water carrier or water tank. The name
tank stuck.
All but one of the original 13 colonies bordered on the
Atlantic Ocean. Pennsylvania did not.

The soil needs to be dry
enough but not so dry that
there is not moisture to ger-
minate the seed, Young said.
He added there were a cou-
ple of years where late March
to early April planting occurred.
Putnam Countys Ohio State
University Extension Educator
James Hoorman reported local
farmers who have a higher con-
centration of sand in their corn-
fields have done some planting.
Some fields have been plant-
ed here and there, Hoorman
said. They have planted only
about 3 or 4 percent.
He said recent rain accu-
mulations have been close to
an inch or more. Looking at
the long-range weather over
the growing season, farmers
are anticipating an increase in
rainfall of 10 percent.
Even though the ground
is still very cold and wet,
some farmers have planted
oats, which need a 42 degree
soil temperature to germi-
nate, Hoorman explained.
We need to be careful when
perceiving weather conditions,
Young explained. Farmers
have not missed an opportu-
nity to do planting this year; we
have not had that day, as of yet.
Young said in past decades,
when it came to planting, it may
have taken weeks but now, with
all the technology, an entire core
crop can be planted in a week.
Hoorman said farmers know
theres no sense in planting $300
a bushel corn if its going to rot
and they just have to plant again.
It takes 2-3 days for seed to
germinate and in perfect con-
ditions, you can expect to see
growth above the ground, he
explained.
Haehn reported that commod-
ity prices have fallen lower this
year than in the last two years
and maximizing yields is crucial
to compensate for lower prices.
At this time last year, a
bushel of corn brought in $7-$8
and today, its running $4-$5
a bushel, he detailed. The
price depends on the supply and
demand and speculation.
Young said last year corn
crops did very well and it was
a nice year for corn production.
We had the right weather
for establishing the crops and
intermittent moisture through-
out the season, he confirmed.
Soybeans did not do as well and
they were average.
Delay
I spoke at the last board
meeting and I am still con-
cerned about one area that
needs to be changed and that
is to eliminate the August
levy. Let the people speak
their peace when they have
more time and that would be
the November election. Joel,
you did a great job on tell-
ing us what the school needs
but we need to know how
and where you are going to
spend the money; it needs to
be itemized, Burklow said.
You are asking us to give you
a blank check. Mr. Cox, you
need to go out and meet the
public, let them know what
your plans are for the school.
If you run this in August, I
will have no part of it.
Another resident agreed
with Burklow that it is not
unreasonable to ask where
the money would go and to
have an understanding where
the money would spent.
I want you to go out of
here knowing that we are
one of the leanest schools
in the state of Ohio, Diglia
stressed.
The next regular board
meeting will be held at 7 p.m.
on May 13.
