OTTAWA The 2013
Putnam County Fair is in
full swing for the 158th
year.
The annual festivities
began with the Fair Parade
which marched down Main
Street Saturday evening.
However, the ceremonial
start of the fair took place
Monday at the Plaza with
the Opening Ceremonies.
The ceremony saw speak-
ers ranging from repre-
sentatives of Bobs Lattas
office to the Putnam County
Commissioners.
A highlight of the cer-
emony was the dedicating
of the fair and fair premi-
um book to the late Roman
A. Eickholt.
For 41 years, Roman A.
Eickholt Sr. served faith-
fully as a fair director.
Eickholt, Romie as
he was known by his col-
leagues, was the longest-
serving Putnam County
fair board member when
he retired from his post in
2003. At the age of 80, he
hated to admit he was get-
ting old.
They aint kicking me
off or anything, he said.
Quite the contrary,
according to fair board trea-
surer Gary Ordway, who
felt Eickholt was one of
the best, He doesnt miss
nothing.
Eickholt had an uncle
who served at the fair. In
a way, he followed in his
uncles footsteps. But not in
every way.
My uncle passed away
here at the fairgrounds,
right over by the merchants
building, he recalled. His
wife asked me if I would
be interested in a job on the
fair board if I could get it.
The year was 1962.

Ottoville council
OKs 2014 budget
BY STEPHANIE GROVES
Staff Writer
sgroves@delphosherald.com
OTTOVILLEVillage council addressed an abundance of
topics during Mondays monthly meeting including: approval
of the villages 2014 budget, bid approval of the Auglaize
Street Reconstruction Project and the discussion of improve-
ments and annexation of Ralph and Irene Millers property.
Fiscal Officer Jeanne Wannemacher presented council
members with the villages 2014 budget. Total anticipated
revenues for the year is estimated at $1,400,426 and estimated
expenditures stand at 1,491,284. Wannemacher said revenues
will continue to come in for this year adding to the balance
remaining from this year.
Wannemacher addressed the Police Fund, which was wiped
out when the new cruiser was bought. She explained that in the
budget, a transfer of $5,000 was made to the Police Fund for
upcoming expenses. She noted that there have been situations
where the police department could have used an additional Taser.
If we get a new officer, hell need a new vest which run
$800-$1,000, Wannemacher said. Maybe one way to give
them a little more.
Wannemacher said that as far as the budget goes, the village
is better off this year than last year at this time.
Chuck Daniels of The Miller Contracting Group spoke with
council regarding permission to tap into the existing water
linewhich they will pay triple rates without annexation
of the office. Councilmen Tim Rieger asked Daniels what the
estimated usage would be. Just office usedrinking water
and toilet flushingnormal use, Daniels explained.

DELPHOSIf you find
yourself downtown Friday
evening during Canal Days,
youll likely witness the
Battle of the Businesses,
when area professionals bat-
tle each other in a series of
games for a trophy and brag-
ging rights.
For any and all Battle-
related information, Cindy
Metzger is the one you
want to ask. She became
head of the committee in
2007, when Diane Sterling
approached her about re-
integrating the Battle of the
Businesses into the Canal
Days line-up.
Battle games had been a
part of Canal Days years ago
and she wanted to bring them
back as a way to involve busi-
nesses in a friendly competi-
tion, Metzger said. In 2007,
we only had six businesses
participate. We have grown to
26 businesses, which is about
the most we can accommo-
date.
Metzger and her regime of
volunteers work hard to make
the Battle bigger and better
each year.
I plan all the games,
establish the rules, gather all
the supplies and props and
wrangle all the participants
during the games, she said.
I could never begin to pull
off this event without the
support of many. The games
take a lot of volunteers to
make it run smoothly. I
have approximately 50 vol-
unteers to help judge and
score the games as well as
prop people who stage each
game.

Settlage resigns from Elida School Board
BY STACY TAFF
Staff Writer
staff@delphosherald.com
ELIDA The Elida Local
Schools Board of Education
announced the resignation of board
member Brad Settlage during
Tuesdays meeting. Settlage cited
his reasons for resigning as medi-
cal issues resulting from an acci-
dent three months ago, which kept
him from attending the last several
board meetings.
Well be accepting resumes for
the opening on the board, beginning
right now, Board President Dennis
Fricke said Well need to be fin-
ished in 30 days.
Prior to the regular meeting, the
board met for a study session to
discuss the state of Elidas finances.
With the district looking at a return
to the same funding level as a
decade ago, Treasurer Joel Parker
recommended a November levy
attempt to help bolster the district
against decreases in funding and
revenue.
On June 30, Elida ends fiscal
year 2013 with a 32-day carry-
over. Parker shared expectations
for a June 30, 2015, carryover,
factoring in levy possibilities. If
no levy is passed, an eight-day car-
ryover of $474,554 is projected; if
a levy were passed this November,
a 65-day carryover of $3,650,456 is
estimated.
The board will make a defini-
tive decision next month on wheth-
er or not to make another levy
attempt. The district has recently
weathered two failed attempts: an
earned-income tax in November
2012 and a property tax issue this
past May.
In other news, the board
announced the rehire of retir-
ees Maureen Rentz and Dennis
Thompson. During the buildings
and grounds report, Mark Miller
announced to the board that the new
security vestibule at Elida Middle
School has been completed.
The board voted to approve a
quote from the Stolly Insurance
Group (Ohio School Plan), for lia-
bility, contents, building, property
and fleet insurance for the amount
of $81,172.
The board approved the follow-
ing resignations: Supplemental-
Mike Eilerman, seventh-grade girls
basketball coach; Non-certified-
Jan Swickrath, correct retirement
date to Aug. 26; Certified- Linda
Hansen, intervention specialist,
effective June 1 for retirement pur-
poses; and Nancy Carter, music
teacher, effective June 1, 2013 for
retirement purposes.
The following individuals were
approved for employment: Faith
Cummings, part-time curriculum
and assessment director (140 days,
year) effective Aug. 1; Daniel
Swick, asst. elementary principal

25 Years Ago 1988
When Putnam County residents hear tele-
vision or radio announcements about weather
conditions and approaching storms or tornado
warnings, they can thank a Pandora man for
the early warnings. Weather observer Ray
Burkholder, a 70-year-old semi-retired farm-
er, contributes in some way to most weather
reports used by area media. He has been
keeping an eye on Putnam County weather
for over 39 years without missing a single day.
Members of Delphos Future Farmers of
America and advisor Michael Miller recent-
ly attended the Ohio FFA Convention held
at Ohio State University. Rusty Thompson

worked out with congressional negotiators.
In 1993, President Bill Clinton announced
the U.S. had launched missiles against Iraqi
targets because of compelling evidence Iraq
had plotted to assassinate former President
George H.W. Bush. Baseball Hall-of-Famer
Roy Campanella died in Woodland Hills,
Calif., at age 71.
Ten years ago: The U.S. Supreme Court,
in Lawrence v. Texas, struck down, 6-3,
state bans on gay sex. A jury in Fort Worth,
Texas, convicted former nurses aide Chante
Mallard of murder for hitting a homeless man,
Gregory Biggs, with her car, driving home
with his mangled body lodged in the wind-
shield and leaving him to die in her garage.
(Mallard was later sentenced to 50 years in

later sentenced to 11 consecutive life terms.)
One year ago: Sen. Orrin Hatch won
the GOP primary in Utah, handily turning
back a challenge from tea party-backed Dan
Liljenquist (lihl-IHN-kwihst). In Oklahoma,
five-term Rep. John Sullivan fell to a tea par-
ty-supported candidate, Jim Bridenstine, who
went on to win election to Congress. Twelve-
time All-Star Joe Sakic was elected to the

GOP-led budget panel adds abortion restriction
COLUMBUS (AP)
Abortion providers in Ohio
would have to inform pregnant
women in writing about the
presence of a fetal heartbeat
before the procedure under
a last-minute change being
added to the state budget.
Providers could give the
pregnant woman the option to
view or hear the heartbeat.
The amendment added
Tuesday by a Republican-
dominated committee bans
doctors from purposefully per-
forming or inducing an abor-
tion on a pregnant woman
before determining the pres-
ence of a detectable fetal heart-
beat unless there is a medical
emergency.
The change also would create
criminal penalties for providers
who fail to comply with the pro-
posed informed consent rules.
Two Democrats on the six-
member conference committee
objected to the addition, contend-
ing there had been no hearings.
The committee planned
to vote on proposed budget
changes later Tuesday night.
Weather extremes tied to jet stream
WASHINGTON (AP)
Lately, the jet stream isnt
playing by the rules. Scientists
say that big river of air high
above Earth that dictates much
of the weather for the Northern
Hemisphere has been unusu-
ally erratic the past few years.
They blame it for everything
from snowstorms in May to the
path of Superstorm Sandy.
And last week, it was
responsible for downpours
that led to historic floods in
Alberta, Canada, as well as
record-breaking heat in parts of
Alaska, experts say. The town
of McGrath, Alaska, hit 94.
Just a few weeks earlier, the
same spot was 15 degrees.
The current heat wave in
the Northeast is also linked.
While its not unusual
to have a heat wave in the
east in June, it is part of the
anomalous jet stream pattern
that was responsible for the
flooding in Alberta, Rutgers
University climate scientist
Jennifer Francis said Tuesday
in an email.
The jet stream usually rush-
es rapidly from west to east
in a mostly straight direction.
But lately its been wobbling
and weaving like a drunken
driver, wreaking havoc as it
goes. The more the jet stream
undulates north and south, the
more changeable and extreme
the weather.
Its a relatively new phe-
nomenon that scientists are still
trying to understand. Some say
its related to global warming;
others say its not.
In May, there was upside-
down weather: Early California
wildfires fueled by heat con-
trasted with more than a foot of
snow in Minnesota. Seattle was
the hottest spot in the nation one
day, and Maine and Edmonton,
Canada, were warmer than
Miami and Phoenix.
Consider these unusual
occurrences over the past few
years:
The winter of 2011-12
seemed to disappear, with little
snow and record warmth in
March. That was followed by
the winter of 2012-13 when
noreasters seemed to queue up
to strike the same coastal areas
repeatedly.
Superstorm Sandy took
an odd left turn in October
from the Atlantic straight into
New Jersey, something that
happens once every 700 years
or so.
Supreme Court
halts use of key
part of voting law
BY MARK SHERMAN
Associated Press
WASHINGTON A deep-
ly divided Supreme Court threw
out the most powerful part of
the landmark Voting Rights Act
on Tuesday, a decision deplored
by the White House but cheered
by mostly Southern states now
free from nearly 50 years of
intense federal oversight of
their elections.
Split along ideological and
partisan lines, the justices
voted 5-4 to strip the gov-
ernment of its most potent
tool to stop voting bias
the requirement in the Voting
Rights Act that all or parts of
15 states with a history of dis-
crimination in voting, mainly
in the South, get Washingtons
approval before changing the
way they hold elections.
Chief Justice John Roberts,
writing for a majority of
conservative, Republican-
appointed justices, said the
laws provision that deter-
mines which states are covered
is unconstitutional because it
relies on 40-year-old data and
does not account for racial
progress and other changes in
U.S. society.
The decision effectively
puts an end to the advance
approval requirement that has
been used to open up poll-
ing places to minority vot-
ers in the nearly half century
since it was first enacted in
1965, unless Congress can
come up with a new formula
that Roberts said meets cur-
rent conditions in the United

Children participate in No Child Left Inside
During the week of June 17, approximately 70 children ages 4-10 visited Beining Nursery and Landscaping of
Ottoville. The childrens program No Child Left Inside consisted of story time followed by creating their own
plant and animal habitat to take home with them. The children learned about how seeds turn into plants, how
animals use plants for camouflage and protection, along with what plants need to survive. Sgn up for Beining

NOI Film Festival set for September
Information submitted
LIMA The Northwest Ohio Film
Foundation invites all movie lovers on a Grand
Prix Tour in various locations in Lima from
June 29 to Aug. 30 for fun, filmmakers and a
good time at the movies. Proceeds go to the
2013 Northwest Ohio Independent Film Festival.
Tickets are $10 per event or $10 to college stu-
dents for the remainder of the series. All events
start at 7 p.m. The tour will act as a tease of the
3rd Annual Northwest Ohio Independent Film
Festival that will take place in downtown Lima
from Sept. 20-21.
The 2012 Grand Prix (Outstanding Feature
Film), Horror-Comedy The Selling will screen
on June 29 at Milano Caf, accompanied by lima-
based pop band, The Hipnotix and a Q&A Actor/
Writer/Stars, Gabriel Diani and Etta Devine. The
film was a hit at the 2012 Festivals midnight
screening that was open to the public.
Three separate screening events of Award-
Winning or favorites from past Festivals have
already taken place - On April 27, the inti-
mate drama Paradise Recovered (2011 Audience
Choice, Outstanding Actress, Outstanding
Screenplay) was well-received at the Meeting
Place on Market, with a pre and a post-screen-
ing Q&A with Producer/Director team, Andie
Redwine and Storme Wood. Award-winning
short film, The Miracles on Honey Bee Hill (2012
Outstanding Actress - Short, 2012 Outstanding
Screenplay), a clever mishmash of fairy-tale and
equal-rights opened the festivities.
Superheroes, an HBO documentary following
Real-life Superheroes followed at Alter Ego
Comics on May 24. On June 1, NY Indie Film,
Things I Dont Understand (2012 Outstanding
Actress - Feature) took place at Gilberts Music
and Groamys CDs and Tapes, complete with
Q&A with the films director, David Spaltro.
Both fundraising events created anticipation for
the two-day Festival in September.
Everyone loves movies in the summer,
beamed Executive Director Len Archibald. There
is energy in Lima that wants to celebrate that. Why
not do that here with a tease of the best Independent
Film-Festival in Northwest Ohio? We hope to bring
about a cinematic revolution and newfound love of
the art of movies right here at home.
With the newfound success of The Selling
through DVD sales and online streamings, the
event promises to be one of the most anticipated
lead-ups to the Sundance-inspired festival, but
will not be the last. The series ends with a pair
of Movie Mixers: July 27 at the Met, where
Ohio based films The Wonderland Express and
Mowing Through Misery will screen; Pretty
Little Things (2012 Outstanding Original Score)
will end the Grand Prix Tour on August 30 at
Vino Bellissimo. Pretty Little Things will open
with a set from LimaLand Comedy Troupe. All
films will follow with Cast/Crew Q&As
Tickets are on sale now at all screening loca-
tions. Please call (419) 979-9692 for more infor-
mation. Cash, check and credit accepted.
Ash tree removal funds
available for qualify-
ing communities
Information submitted
COLUMBUS Federal
grant funds are available to
assist northern Ohio com-
munities in removing haz-
ardous ash trees along pub-
lic rights-of-way, according
to the Ohio Department of
Natural Resources (ODNR).
Grant funding totaling
$300,000 will help north-
ern Ohio communities
address the damage caused
by the non-native emerald
ash borer as it continues
to impact the region, said
Robert Boyles, state for-
ester and chief of the ODNR
Division of Forestry. The
loss of ash trees in northern
Ohio is not only environ-
mentally and economically
damaging, but dead and
dying trees pose a safety
hazard to anyone living or
traveling on ash tree-lined
streets.
Since the emerald ash
borer was first discovered
in northwest Ohio in 2003,
millions of ash trees have
been killed by this devastat-
ing invasive insect, which
can claim the life of an oth-
erwise healthy, mature tree
in as little as one year. Due
to the insects spread, many
Ohio communities are now
confronted with the costly
expense of dead ash tree
removal and replacement.
Communities in the fol-
lowing counties are eligible
to apply: Allen, Ashland,
Augl ai ze, Crawford,
Cuyahoga, Defiance, Erie,
Fulton, Hancock, Hardin,
Henry, Huron, Lorain,
Lucas, Marion, Medina,
Mercer, Ottawa, Paulding,
Put nam, Ri chl and,
Sandusky, Seneca, Shelby,
Van Wert, Williams, Wood
and Wyandot.
To request an applica-
tion or access Ash Removal
grant instructions, the eli-
gible communities should
contact the ODNR Division
of Forestry at (614) 670-
2653, go to http://ohiodnr.
com/tabid/22104/Default.
aspx or email wendi.van-
bur e n@dnr. s t a t e . oh. us .
Applications must be sub-
mitted electronically no
later than close of business
on July 29.
The ODNR Division of
Forestry works to promote
the wise use and sustainable
management of Ohios pub-
lic and private woodlands.
To learn more about best
practices for dealing with
emerald ash borer impact-
ed trees, Ohios wood-
lands, forest health or tree
care visit the Division of
Forestrys website at ohiod-
nr.gov/forestry.
ODNR ensures a bal-
ance between wise use and
protection of our natural
resources for the benefit of
all. Visit the ODNR website

Poll: Ohio gov approval best since taking office
COLUMBUS (AP) A recent poll finds Gov. John Kasichs
job approval has hit its highest rating since he took office in 2011.
The poll released Tuesday by Quinnipiac University in
Connecticut shows 54 percent of Ohioans favor the Republican
governors actions while 32 percent disapprove of his performance.
The poll taken over last weekend also finds that 49 percent of
Ohioans say Kasich deserves to be re-elected.
The poll says Kasich currently leads Cuyahoga County Executive
Ed FitzGerald, a leading Democratic opponent in the 2014 guberna-
torial race, by a 47-33 margin.
The survey of 941 Ohio voters has a margin of error of 3.2
percentage points.
Kasichs approval rating a year ago was under 40 percent.
Ohio House
committee approves
traffic camera ban
COLUMBUS (AP)
An Ohio House committee
has approved a measure that
would ban red-light cam-
eras across the state.
The Transportation,
Public Safety & Homeland
Security Committee on
Tuesday voted 9-4 to move
the measure to the full
House for consideration.
The bill bans police from
using a camera to determine
whether motorists have run
red lights or been speeding.
Proponents of the bill say
cameras have been abused
by certain municipalities
who see the devices as rev-
enue generators.
Supporters of the cam-
eras say studies show the
machines have helped
reduce traffic accidents.
They also say the cameras
free up law enforcement
officers to pursue more seri-
ous crimes.
More than a dozen Ohio
cities use traffic-enforce-
ment cameras. Cleveland
collected nearly $6 million
from them last year.
Camera-generated tick-
ets are civil infractions.
EMA holds drill
Information submitted
VAN WERT A prepa-
ration drill was held over
the weekend by the Van
Wert County Emergency
Management/LEPC. The
annual exercise involved over
40 participants. The drill was
staged in the town of Glenmore
and involved the scenario of
the Mercer Landmark facil-
ity being hit by a tornado
with structure damage which
included an anhydrous ammo-
nia leak and farm chemicals
contaminating victims.
According to local EMA
Director Rick McCoy, the
exercise is conducted under
requirement of the states
EPA SERC guidelines and
involved a number of objec-
tives to perform which satis-
fies the evaluators and Ohio
EMA personnel observing the
drill.
Victims included mem-
bers of the Van Wert Civil Air
Patrol who were rescued in the
supposedly collapsed build-
ings by emergency responders
from the Wren, Ohio City and
Willshire Fire Departments.
Transportation to the hospital
was performed by Brickner
Ambulance Service. Van
Wert Hospital Emergency
Room personnel were tested
on accepting multiple victims
who first had to go through
the hospitals decontamination
room before treatment of inju-
ries could begin.
Also assisting were troop-
ers from the Ohio State
Highway Patrol who per-
formed evacuation procedures
of the area, and the Van Wert
County Sheriff Office dis-
patchers who tested the com-
munications on the new 800
MHz radio system. The Van
Wert Chapter of the American
Red Cross also assisted at the
EMA Emergency Operations
Center going over procedures
of setting up a shelter in the
event that an evacuation was
necessary in a real scenario.
McCoy especially thanked
the management of Glenmore
Mercer Landmark for allow-
ing their facility to be used
and for assisting emergen-
cy personnel in using the
Incident Command System in
coordinating the scene.

Church puts family
behind in garden
BY LOVINA EICHER
It is a Wednesday after-
noon. This morning the tem-
perature was 51 degrees.
We went out to weed and
hoe in the garden
after the morning
house-work was
done. It was cool
when we started
but the warm sun
soon made it get
hot. We came in to
eat some lunch and
take a break.
With church
services being held
here twice recently, the gar-
dens were neglected more
than usual this past month.
Everything is growing real
well. We are getting enough
rain that we dont need to
water the garden. Tomatoes
are loaded on the plants and
the corn is past knee-high
already.
We are already enjoy-
ing hot peppers. We planted
Seranno and banana peppers.
The bananas will soon be big
enough to stuff with cream
cheese and Colby cheese then
wrap with bacon and grill. We
like the banana peppers better
than the jalapeno peppers to
do those as they arent as hot.
We have also been enjoying
lettuce, radishes, and green
onions from our garden for
quite some time.
Yesterday, we took
Diamond, our 19-year-old
horse, to town to get new
shoes for the boys. Diamond
seems to get slower and
slower to make the trip to
town and back but he is safe
and sound around all the traf-
fic. It means a lot to have a
horse that doesnt shy away
from the big trucks and farm
machinery along the road.
Church services were held
here again this past
Sunday. We had a
nice-sized atten-
dance but not as
many as last time.
Our lunch menu
consisted of wheat
and white bread,
butter, strawberry
jam, Bologna,
cheese spread, pea-
nut butter spread,
red beets, freezer and dill
pickles, hot peppers, monster,
sugar, chocolate chip and
peanut butter cookies, coffee
and iced tea. We also always
make an 8-quart kettle of
chicken noodle soup for the
younger children who dont
eat sandwiches yet. Then in
honor of Fathers Day we
also served strawberries and
ice cream.
All the dishes and bench
wagons are back in the bench
wagon waiting to be pulled
to the next place. It is always
a lot of work to get ready to
host church services but it is
relaxing once its over and
everything is cleaned.
I didnt get around to hav-
ing the garage sale I wanted
to have before our church
services. That is now on my
to do list to organize all
that before canning season is
in full swing.
I would also like to go to
the local U-pick to get straw-
berries to make strawberry
freezer jam. That is a favor-
ite jam around here. Sister
Emma has her own straw-
berry plants and furnished all
the strawberries for church
services on Sunday. She is
getting a good yield. I would
like to get new plants started.
My last ones didnt do so
well.
I made these for supper
one evening with Emmas
strawberries. I hope youll
like them as much as we did.
STRAWBERRY
SHORTCAKE CUPS
1 quart fresh strawberries
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons sugar, divid-
ed
1 tablespoon baking pow-
der
1 egg
1/4 cup cold butter or mar-
garine
1/2 cup milk
Whipped cream or Cool
Whip
Mash or slice the straw-
berries; place in a bowl and
add 2 tablespoons sugar,
mix and set aside. In another
bowl combine flour, baking
powder, salt and remaining 2
tablespoons sugar. Cut in but-
ter until crumbly. In a small
bowl, beat egg and milk. Stir
into flour mixture just until
moistened. Fill eight greased
muffin cups 2/3 full. Bake
at 425 degrees for 12 min-
utes or until golden. Remove
from the pan to cool on a
wire rack. Just before serv-
ing, split shortcakes in half
horizontally. Spoon berries
and whipped cream between
layers and over top.
