Vol. 144 No. 243
Speed limit reduction support letter meets with silence
BY NANCY SPENCER
dhi MEDIA Editor
nspencer@delphosherald.com
OTTOVILLE A motion to submit a let-
ter of support for the reduction of the speed
limit on U.S. 224 in front of Ottoville Local
School never made it the table Wednesday
evening. After reading the letter, School
Board President Kevin Landin asked for a
motion to approve the letter. His request was
answered with silence.
Developer John Schimmoeller and Greg
Bockrath, a civil engineer with Bockrath and
Associates working on Schimmoellers
behalf approached the school board sever-
al times in the past months to garner the letter
in support of reducing the speed limit in front
of the school to 35 mph with the exception of
during school hours (7 a.m. to 4 p.m.), when
it would be 20 mph.
Landin asked for discussion on the matter
and board member Barb Hoersten spoke.
Ive done the research and it clearly
shows that reducing the speed limit does not
make a roadway any safer and I dont see a
reason to reduce the speed, Hoersten said.
Fellow board member Kim Wannemacher
agreed.
I havent seen anything that supports
reducing the speed limit, Wannemacher said.
The speed limit in that area is currently 55
mph except during school hours.
Superintendent Scott Mangas had said dur-
ing the April meeting that concerns with U.S.
224 and pedestrian students were addressed
when the school was built. The result was all
pedestrian traffic leaving the school exited
out the back.
We installed walkways so no one has
to cross or walk along U.S. 224, he said in
April. All our students leave from behind
the school and walk across the bridge to the
park. We dont have control over our students
all the time. I dont want to see our students
crossing the highway.
Schimmoeller and Bockrath said they have
support letters from four entities, including
the Village of Ottoville, Monterey Township
trustees and the Ottoville Police and Fire
departments.
We have completed the traffic study and
we will submit it along with the four letters
we have, Bockrath said.
A public hearing was held at the beginning
of the meeting on the retire/rehire of Title
I teacher Linda Kaufman. With no one in
attendance to speak on the matter, the hearing
was closed. Mangas said the board will see
a motion concerning Kaufman on the June
agenda.
Treasurer Bob Weber submitted the dis-
tricts 5-Year Forecast for approval. While
the bottom line stays in the black, the fore-
cast does show deficit spending beginning
at the end of Fiscal Year 2016 and continu-
ing through FY 2018. The schools end-
ing balance for 2015 is $4,133,774; 2016,
$3,747,181; 2017, $3,012,854; and 2018,
$1,931,094. Weber will submit the forecast
this week.
Mangas highlighted several new NEOLA
policies that needed approval to bring the
districts policies and procedures manual in
line with state mandates. Ottoville will not
start the new calamity procedures of tracking
missed hours instead of days for two years.
Mangas said, according to the new state
policy, the district will continue with calamity
days until the current negotiated agreement
with teachers expires. He also added the new
purposes for executive sessions, including
discussion of the schools emergency and
marketing plans, business strategies and trade
secrets.
In other action, the board approved the
following certified teaching contracts: two-
year Jeanne Bockey, Julie Eickholt and
Renee Burgei; five-year Alicia Haselman;
and one-year James Hoersten.

Group: Common Core standards violate Constitution
BY STEPHANIE GROVES
dhi MEDIA Staff Writer
sgroves@delphosherald.com
FORT JENNINGS Members
of the Putnam County Common Core
group addressed Fort Jennings School
Board members and spoke out against
Common Core standards during
Wednesday nights meeting.
Lincoln Bramlage, Rose
Stechschulte, Stephanie Stechschulte
and Glenn Karhoff each explained
their views and issues with the com-
mon standards, including: its fund-
ed by Bill Gates; the groups behind
Common Core can be thought of
as cartel; it promotes psychological
damage in students; common core
standards are not a curriculum; these
standards are being repealed by states;
there is a failure rate of two out of
every three students; and it violates the
10th Amendment of the Constitution
of the United States.
A nation of sheep will soon be
ruled by wolves, Karhoff quoted
Thomas Jefferson.
Fort Jennings Education
Association President Diane Vorst
thanked board members for all their
hard work throughout the year.
Board members approved the fol-
lowing donations: $50 to the Building
Fund in memory of Patricia E. Rode;
$50 to the Building Fund in mem-
ory of Carl F. Schlub; $500 from
Musketeer Athletic Boosters to Cheer
Fund for Spirit Wear proceeds; $750
from Musketeer Athletic Boosters to
the Athletic Department for summer
basketball; $3 in receipts from poster
boards donated by Drew Fields; $500
from Medical Mutual for scholarship;
$918.26 from General Mills Box Tops
Program to Elementary Activities
Fund; and $155 from Gregg Luthman
for soccer camp.
Members also accepted a donation
of books to the third-grade library
from Kevin Schumaker and a donation
of books to the elementary library in
memory of Molly (Welch) Hines from
Jim and Susie Burgei and family.
Board members also approved the
creation of the OHSAA Tournament
Fund and the Five-Year Forecast.
School Board President Karl
Schimmoeller explained the fund is
being created for the revenue from the
first-round baseball tournament.
Fort Jennings High School
Principal Nicholas Langhals said Its
the best forecast we can put forward
at this time.
Nothing much has really changed
from last year, he added. Theres a
little more in retirement.
Members of the Putnam County Common Core group addressed
school board members and spoke out against Common Core
standards during Wednesday nights meeting. Lincoln Bramlage
said he has researched many websites on Common Core and said
it diminishes local school board control. (dhi MEDIA/Stephanie

Village receives
$5,000 anonymous
donation for pool
BY STEPHANIE GROVES
dhi MEDIA Staff Writer
sgroves@delphosherald.com
SPENCERVILLE Mayor J. P. Johnson announced a
local resident made an anonymous $5,000 donation to the
Village of Spencerville specifically for the swimming pool
operations during Monday nights Village Council meeting.
The pool fundraising committee has helped by purchasing
items for the pool and the biggest costs are maintenance and
operation, Johnson said.
The rules were suspended and an ordinance transferring
funds from the General Fund to the Recreation-Swimming
Pool Fund was passed unanimously on its first reading.
Council approved paying the villages bills in the amount
of $24089.
Council members discussed the possible construction of a side-
walk on East Fourth Street that extends to the Dollar General store.
Ive contacted the neighbors to the west of the store and
told them that the village was discussing the possibility of
installing a sidewalk and explained that maintenance of the
sidewalk across their property would be their responsibility,
Village Administrator Sean Chapman said. They appreciated
the contact.
Chapman said he has not had time to inspect the area for
possible obstructions and will do so in the near future.
Johnson said he attended a meeting of the N.W. Central
Ohio Solid Waste District for all of Allen County municipal
governments. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the
possibility of a county-wide consortium for waste collection.
I was contacted by a resident who said she was told by an Allen
County Recycle (ACR) employee that ACR, our current waste
hauler, doesnt recycle, Johnson reported. ACR does recycle.
After speaking to a representative of ACR, Johnson told
council that June will be considered Clean up the Village
month. Residents may put junk and refuse items out for the
June 3 garbage pick-up and ACR will haul it away. Hazardous
waste is not allowed and if there are large items, ACR requests
residents contact them the day before so they can plan for an
additional truck.
Chief Cook was absent from the council meeting and

Todays Highlight in History:
On May 22, 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson, speaking
at the University of Michigan, outlined the goals of his Great
Society, saying that it rests on abundance and liberty for all
and demands an end to poverty and racial injustice.
On this date:
In 1761, the first American life insurance policy was issued
in Philadelphia to a Rev. Francis Allison, whose premium was
six pounds per year.
In 1860, the United States and Japan exchanged ratifica-
tions of the Treaty of Amity and Commerce during a ceremony
in Washington.
In 1913, the American Cancer Society was founded in New
York under its original name, the American Society for the
Control of Cancer.
In 1939, the foreign ministers of Germany and Italy,

In 1960, an earthquake of magnitude 9.5, the strongest ever
measured, struck southern Chile, claiming some 1,655 lives.
In 1963, Greek politician Grigoris Lambrakis was attacked
by right-wingers after delivering a speech in Thessaloniki; he
died five days later. (The assassination inspired a book as well
as the 1969 Costa-Gavras film Z.)
In 1968, the nuclear-powered submarine USS Scorpion,
with 99 men aboard, sank in the Atlantic Ocean. (The remains
of the sub were later found on the ocean floor 400 miles south-
west of the Azores.)
In 1969, the lunar module of Apollo 10, with Thomas P.
Stafford and Eugene Cernan aboard, flew to within nine miles
of the moons surface in a dress rehearsal for the first lunar
landing.
In 1972, President Richard Nixon began a visit to the

in London of murdering 13 women and was sentenced to life
in prison.
In 1992, after a reign lasting nearly 30 years, Johnny
Carson hosted NBCs Tonight Show for the last time.
Ten years ago: In Tunisia, Arab leaders convened their
annual summit, but the opening session was overshadowed by
the walkout of Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi, who criti-
cized peace efforts. Filmmaker Michael Moores Fahrenheit
9/11, a scathing commentary on Bush White House actions
after the September 11 attacks, won the top prize at the Cannes
Film Festival. Samuel C. Johnson Jr., whod built the familys
S.C. Johnson Wax company into a consumer products giant,
died at age 76.
Five years ago: President Barack Obama promised gradu-
ating midshipmen at the U.S. Naval Academy that, as their
commander in chief, he would only send them into harms
way when it is absolutely necessary. Vice President Joe Biden
arrived in Lebanon to reinforce U.S. support for the govern-
ment ahead of key parliamentary elections.
One year ago: Lois Lerner, an Internal Revenue Service
supervisor whose agents had targeted conservative groups,
swore to a House committee she did nothing wrong,
then refused to answer further questions, citing her Fifth
Amendment right not to incriminate herself. Chechen immi-
grant Ibragim Todashev, a friend of Boston Marathon bombing
suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev, was fatally shot by an FBI agent
in Orlando, Florida. In a brutal daylight attack in London, two
men with butcher knives hacked to death an off-duty British
soldier, Lee Rigby, before police wounded them in a shootout.
(The attackers were later sentenced to life in prison.)

Supreme Court halts execution
JIM SUHR
Associated Press
BONNE TERRE, Mo. The U.S. Supreme Court on
Wednesday halted the execution of a Missouri inmate with a
rare medical condition who challenged the states refusal to
disclose the source of its lethal injection drug.
The justices said a lower federal court needs to take another
look at the case of Russell Bucklew, whose execution would
have been the nations first since last months botched execu-
tion in Oklahoma. Bucklew had been scheduled to be put to
death at 12:01 a.m. Wednesday for the 1996 killing of a man
during a violent crime spree, but Supreme Court Justice
Samuel Alito had blocked the execution late Tuesday while the
full court considered the matter.
By law, Missouri has a 24-hour window to carry out a
scheduled execution, and the ruling means the state Supreme
Court will have to set a new execution date if its to carry out
the punishment.
Minutes after the Supreme Courts ruling, witnesses who
were to have witnessed Bucklews execution on the states
behalf were released. Eric Slusher, a spokesman for Missouri
Attorney General Chris Koster, confirmed that no further liti-
gation was expected Wednesday.
Bucklew, 46, suffers from a rare congenital condition
cavernous hemangioma that causes weakened and mal-
formed blood vessels, as well as tumors in his nose and throat.
His attorneys say this and the secrecy surrounding the states
lethal injection drug combine to make for an unacceptably
high chance of something going wrong during his execution.
He told The Associated Press last week that he is scared of
what might happen during the process.
Study: Care costs continue
slower growth in 2014
Associated Press
Health care spending for
a family with a common
employer-sponsored health
plan has more than doubled
over the past decade, accord-
ing to research from the ben-
efits consultant Milliman Inc.
A typical American fam-
ily of four will spend an
average of $9,695 on health
care this year, according to
actuarial projections in the
2014 Milliman Medical
Index, which was released
Wednesday. That counts their
contribution toward insur-
ance premiums, payments at
the doctors office or pharma-
cy and even bottles of aspirin
purchased at the drugstore.
That compares with $4,443
spent in 2004 and is up 6 per-
cent from last year.
Milliman actuaries make
their projections for a fam-
ily with preferred provider
organization, or PPO, cover-
age through a big employer.
Thats a common form of
insurance that involves large
networks of doctors and other
care providers.
That annual cost increase
may not be readily apparent
to most families. Its spread
out over the year, and the big-
gest part is the premium, or
cost of coverage. That usually
comes out of an employees
paycheck before taxes.

Mother needs to learn how to
handle inconsiderate daughter
Dear Annie: At
least once a week,
my oldest daughter,
Alice, asks me to
babysit her two kids.
I have back problems
and cannot get up
and down all the
time. She has never
offered me a dime,
even when she was
married and had two
incomes. I could use
the money.
Alice recently
went through a
divorce. I babysat a
lot during that time,
but she never showed
any appreciation.
Alice blames me for
everything bad that
has ever happened
to her, because I
divorced her father.
So I feel guilty and
agree to babysit all
the time. Of course,
their father moved
away without saying
goodbye to any of the
kids and was out of
their lives for seven
years, leaving me
with two teenagers
and a 9-year-old to
raise on my own. He
never paid a drop of
child support.
I am remarried, and
my husband and I like
to have the weekends
to ourselves. We
would love it if Alice
brought the kids over
for a visit and stayed.
But she drops them
at the front door and
speeds away. She is
often gone for hours.
She doesnt answer
her cellphone when I
call to ask when shes
coming back. The
kids run out to her
car, and she zips off.
Alice never phones
just to talk, only to
ask me to babysit.
If I dont answer,
she drives over and
pounds on my door.
Im afraid to sit on
the porch for fear she
will show up and ask
me to babysit. All of
the children are now
reunited with their
father. Why doesnt
Alice ask him to
babysit once in a
while? -- Hiding Out
in Indiana
Dear Hiding Out:
You need to be more
assertive with Alice.
Tell her that youd
like her to visit once
in a while instead of
using you as a drop-
off service. Also say
that you love the kids,
but cannot babysit so
much. Be sure she
knows you mean it.
Its OK to say no,
even if it makes her
angry. If you want to
work out some type
of payment, thats
between the two of
you, but dont be
afraid to bring it up.
Dear Annie:
I am an 87-year-
old widower and
am appalled at the
number of letters
in your column
about bickering
between parents,
children, siblings,
grandparents, friends,
husbands and wives.
I wish I could share
some of the love I am
blessed to experience.
After my wife of 52
years died, I went out
late at night to clear
snow from the church
parking lot. Upon
returning, there were
four messages on my
answering machine,
and my granddaughter
was calling to say her
father was on his way
to check on me -- a
40-mile round trip. So
for the past 15 years,
they have called
every night, no matter
where they are.
My son-in-law
uses a week of his
vacation to drive
1,500 miles to check
on my 90-year-old
sister. And he drives
80 miles on Sundays
to get me to church.
My granddaughters
take me to the doctor,
and my nephew and
his wife often take me
to dinner. My wifes
family includes me
in their get-togethers.
My son calls daily,
and my grandson fills
in when his family is
out of town.
We reap what we
sow. Love is like an
echo: What you do or
say will return to you.
-- A Blessed Grandpaw
Dear Grandpaw:
It warms our hearts to
know how close and
loving your family
is. We wish everyone
were so cherished.
Thank you.

holding and kissing
each other while in
bed as water floods
their room. Were they
fictional characters,
or were they from
real life? -- G.N.,
Manhattan, Kan.
A: The couple seen
embracing in bed were
real -- Ida and Isidor
Straus, the owners of
Macys department
store in New York
City. Eyewitnesses,
including Idas maid,
said Isidor refused
seating in a lifeboat,
saying he would not
leave as long as there
were women and
children on board
the sinking ship. Ida
refused the safety of
a lifeboat, preferring
to remain with her
husband. She said to
him, Where you go,
I go. Ida and Isidor
Straus were last seen
holding each other on
deck.
When the ship
sank, the Strauses
love story ended, but
a legend began. The
couple were depicted
in two earlier films of
the famous sinking,
Titanic (1953)
and A Night to
Remember (1958),
as well as the 1997
blockbuster. Idas
body was never
found. Isidors body
was recovered and
rests in a mausoleum
in the Bronx, N.Y.
A cenotaph at the
mausoleum reads:
Many waters cannot
quench love -- neither
can the floods drown
it.

Obama aide tasked with VA
review going to Phoenix
MATTHEW DALY
Associated Press
PHOENIX President
Barack Obamas choice to
help carry out reforms at the
Veterans Affairs Department
will travel to Phoenix this week
to meet with staff at the local
VA office as pressure mounts
in Washington for an overhaul
of the beleaguered agency.
Obama announced last
week that White House
Deputy Chief of Staff Rob
Nabors would be assigned
to the VA after allegations of
delayed care that may have
led to patient deaths and a
cover-up by top adminis-
trators in Phoenix. Similar
claims have been reported at
VA facilities in Pennsylvania,
Wyoming, Georgia, Missouri,
Texas, Florida and elsewhere.
Nabors was meeting
Tuesday in Washington with
representatives of several vet-
erans organizations, includ-
ing the American Legion and
Disabled American Veterans,
among others. He will meet
today with leadership at the
Phoenix Veterans Affairs
Medical Center, including
with interim director Steve
Young, White House spokes-
man Jay Carney said.
Young took over in
Phoenix after director Sharon
Helman was placed on leave
indefinitely while the Office
of Inspector General inves-
tigates claims raised by sev-
eral former VA employees
that Phoenix administrators
kept a secret list of patients
waiting for appointments to
hide delays in care. Critics say
Helman was motivated to con-
ceal delays to collect a bonus
of about $9,000 last year.
A former clinic direc-
tor for the VA in Phoenix
first came out publicly with
the allegations in April. Dr.
Samuel Foote, who retired
in December after nearly 25
years with the VA, says that
up to 40 veterans may have
died while awaiting treat-
ment at the Phoenix hospital.
Investigators say they have
so far not linked any patient
deaths in Phoenix to delayed
care.
Cleaner air could mean higher electric bills
NEW YORK (AP) Electricity prices
are probably on their way up across much of
the U.S. as coal-fired plants, the dominant
source of cheap power, shut down in response
to environmental regulations and economic
forces.
New and tighter pollution rules and tough
competition from cleaner sources such as
natural gas, wind and solar will lead to the
closings of dozens of coal-burning plants
across 20 states over the next three years.
And many of those that stay open will need
expensive retrofits.
Because of these and other factors, the
Energy Department predicts retail power pric-
es will rise 4 percent on average this year, the
biggest increase since 2008. By 2020, prices
are expected to climb an additional 13 per-
cent, a forecast that does not include the costs
of coming environmental rules.
The Obama administration, state govern-
ments and industry are struggling to balance
this push for a cleaner environment with the
need to keep the grid reliable and prevent
prices from rocketing too much higher.
Were facing a set of questions that are
new to the industry, says Clair Moeller, who
oversees transmission and technology for the
Midcontinent Independent System Operator,
which coordinates much of the electric grid
between Minnesota and Louisiana.
Coal is the workhorse of the U.S. power
system. It is used to produce 40 percent of the
nations electricity, more than any other fuel.
Because it is cheap and abundant and can be
stored on power plant grounds, it helps keep
prices stable and power flowing even when
demand spikes.
Committee OKs end to
door-slot mail for millions
WASHINGTON (AP) Millions of
Americans would no longer get mail
delivered to their door but would have
to go to communal or curbside boxes
instead under a proposal advancing
through Congress.
The Republican-controlled House
Oversight and Government Reform
Committee, on an 18-13 party-line vote,
approved a bill Wednesday to direct the
U.S. Postal Service to convert 15 mil-
lion addresses over the next decade to
the less costly, but also less convenient
delivery method.
Democrats objected to the plan, and
efforts in recent years to win its adop-
tion have failed.
I think its a lousy idea, Rep.
Stephen Lynch, D-Mass., said. Other
lawmakers said it wouldnt work in
urban areas where theres no place on
city streets to put banks of cluster
boxes with separate compartments for
each address. People with disabilities
who have difficulty leaving their homes
could get waivers, and people who still
want delivery to their door could pay
extra for it something Lynch derided
as a delivery tax.
The measure falls far short of a com-
prehensive overhaul most officials agree
is needed to solve the postal services
financial problems. The committees
chairman, Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif.,
acknowledged that at the outset but said
it provides an interim opportunity to
achieve some significant cost savings.
Converting to communal or curbside
delivery would save $2 billion annu-
ally, Issa said, quoting from estimates
that door delivery costs $380 annually
per address compared with $240 for
curbside and $170 for centralized meth-
ods. He said less than 1 percent of all
addresses nationwide would undergo
a delivery change annually and that
communal boxes offer a safe, locked
location for packages, doing away with
the need for carriers to leave packages
on porches and subject to theft and bad
weather.
The Postal Service reported a $1.9
billion loss for the first three months
this year despite continued cost-cutting,
a 2.3 percent rise in operating rev-
enue and increased employee productiv-
ity. Package business has risen but the
service struggles with inflationary cost
increases and a continued decline in
first-class mailing as people move to the
Internet for letter writing and bill paying.
Postal officials have asked repeat-
edly for comprehensive legislation giv-
ing them more control over personnel
and benefit costs and more flexibility
in pricing and products. Though var-
ious legislative proposals have been
advanced, Congress has not been able
to agree on a bill with broad changes.
Lawmakers should fix what they
broke, not break whats working,
National Association of Letter Carriers
President Fredric Rolando said, refer-
ring to a 2006 law that requires the
Postal Service to prefund its retiree
health benefits. Meeting that require-
ment accounts for the bulk of the postal
services red ink. He said the Oversight
Committees bill is irresponsible
bad for the American public, bad for
businesses, bad for the economy and
bad for the U.S. Postal Service.
The Postal Service has been moving
to more centralized delivery for some
new addresses but hasnt done much to
convert existing addresses, Issa said.

Chief Cook was absent from the council meet-
ing and Johnson read the police report.
A new part-time officer, Roger Brown, will be
sworn in mid-week, Johnson said. Chief Cook
asked that council approve declaring cruiser 601
as obsolete and be placed on the GovDeals auction
site.
Council members made the motion and unani-
mously agreed with Cook.
Chapman reported that work on the Water
Treatment Plant (WTP) is moving along swift-
ly. He said the building foundation walls and
all underground plumbing and electrical conduits
beneath the building slab have been completed.
The building will be erected and exterior
masonry work will begin this week, Chapman
said.
Change Order 2G has been approved by the Ohio
Environmental Protection Agency (OEPA) and has
been submitted to the Ohio Water Development
Authority (OWDA) for their review and approval.
Chapman and Water Treatment Plant Supervisor
Jim Cave will be in Findlay this week to check
on the process equipment and go over the draft
Sequence of Operations for the new WTP.
We will then have an on-site meeting at the job
trailer next week to get updates on project status,
he detailed.
He said the pool fence replacement along the
east side will be installed this week and the swim-
ming pool has been filled and is being fed chemi-
cals.
The pool had its first inspection and the state
inspectors will need to come back for a final inspec-
tion of the baby pool gate, No Diving markers,
proper signage and emergency phone, Chapman
added. The four items have been addressed and
the state will perform a final inspection on May
23.
As reported in April, the village dispersed con-
fidential Income Surveys to residents to be used to
determine if the project areas North Main from
Sixth to North streets; Elm and South Broadway
streets from Second Street to Wurster Drive
are low- to moderate-income for Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) Formula fund-
ing. Initially, the funds were to be used to replace
water lines in one or both of these areas.
Chapman said the CDBG application for fund-
ing the water line project was submitted early last
week and since the income surveys were not com-
pleted, the application was not accepted.
There was only $116,000 available for grants
and our cost estimate was $230,000, which meant
we would have to fund the balance, he said.
The plan is to complete the income surveys soon
to determine if the area is eligible for the grant
funds.
A notice has been placed in a local newspaper
regarding the beginning of the villages annual
mosquito spraying program with a request that all
residents call the Utilities Office with complaints
about mosquitoes. All of these complaints will be
logged on forms approved by the Ohio Department
of Agriculture and will be used to determine when
spray can occur.
Technically, we are not supposed to spray
without just cause; we are supposed to spray based
on a threshold we establish, Chapman said. For
the size of our community, it would probably be
considered one area and we will limit our spraying
to 25 applications.
Change order for the Water Treatment Plant
Project (WTP) were presented to council for con-
sideration. The Change Orders simply transfer
$89,842 from Buschur Electrics contract to Kirk
Brothers contract. The change orders have been
reviewed by Peterson and Associates.
Since Buschur Electric is now working as a
subcontractor under the Kirk Brothers contract, the
contract with Buschur Electric is no longer need-
ed, he added. This does not increase the overall
WTP contract cost.
Council members unanimously approved change
orders as presented.
Chapman thanked Angel Wagner and the stu-
dents of the Spencerville High School for their vol-
untary contributions given to the village recently.
Several students took part in the Make a
Difference Day and worked in the villages parks
for the better part of the day, Chapman added.
Working alongside the students were several
members of the Spencerville Garden Club so I
would extend a thanks to those folks as well.
The next meeting will be held at 7 p.m. on June
2 at the municipal building.
(Continued from page 1)
The board also filled gaps in the
summer help roster. Ryan Kemper
was approved as summer tech sup-
port, not to exceed 30 days and
paid the state minimum wage rate,
Kemper will assist with the set-up
of 41 iPads for incoming freshmen
and technical upgrades within the
district.
Brandon Kimmet, Ryan Kimmet,
Trevor Fischer, Brandt Landin and
Drew Williams were approved as stu-
dent workers on an as-needed basis
for summer 2014. They will be oper-
ating mowers as well as other school
equipment and also be paid the state
minimum wage.
A list of donations and miscella-
neous payments were approved and
include: $1,047.70 - General Mills
- Box Tops for Education; $350 -
Wright State University - Student
Teachers; and $60 each from the
Chamber of Commerce, Ottoville
Fire Department, Ottoville Lady
Otts, OACC and Ottoville VFW for
sports calendars. An additional $60
is expected from the local Lions
Club, according to Weber.
In other action, the board:
Approved Ryan Schroeder as a
volunteer assistant boys basketball

school facilities for a dance recital.
The building will be used May 20-24.
All necessary forms have been col-
