DELPHOS The reopening of the
Delphos Police Department lobby will be
delayed by a week, according to Police
Chief Kyle Fittro.
On Aug. 4, not July 28 as planned,
residents will have access to the lobby
and a records clerk from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Monday through Thursday and 7 a.m. to
noon on Friday. The clerk will be able to
provide records such as accident reports
and contact an ofcer, detective or the
chief, as needed.
The clerk will also answer the phones
when people call in through the phone
tree, Fittro said. It will bring back some
of the customer service we lost when dis-
patching was transferred to the Allen
County Sheriffs Ofce. We have a lot of
people who come to the police station for
many different reasons. Its a 60-40 split
in favor of the person wanting to speak
to an ofcer or detective versus getting
a report.
The city hired three clerks in total, with
one declining the position before train-
ing started and one scheduled to end her
employment on Aug. 1. To ll the vacant
position, a Civil Service test will have to
be scheduled and those who pass the test
will be offered the part-time position. The
clerks will be scheduled to work no more
than 50 hours combined per pay period
(bi-weekly) at $12 per hour. They are be-
ing trained by Shannon Ackerman of the
Allen County Sheriffs Ofce.
The lobby is currently closed to the
public with a call button on the front
door. When the button is pushed, it con-
nects the person with the Allen County
Sheriffs Ofce. Once the nature of the
call is understood, an ofcer is called to
the station or the person is transferred to
a phone tree for the municipal building,
the police department or the re depart-
ment and asked to leave a voice mail for
the appropriate person.
The lobby closed on June 30 when the
contract with the county for 24/7 9-1-1
call service started. It will cost Delphos
$80,000 a year. Eliminating the dispatch-
ers at the station will save the city nearly
$40,000 this year and approximately
$110,000 per year beginning in 2015.
Delphos City Council ofcially approved
a separation agreement for dispatchers in
early June.
Delphos Police Department lobby to open August 4
Residents will once again have access to the Delphos
Police Department lobby for records requests, etc.
The lobby closed on June 30 and will reopen on Aug.
4. A records clerk will be available from 7 a.m. to 1
p.m. Monday through Thursday and 7 a.m. to noon
on Friday. (DHI Media/Nancy Spencer)
East Second
Street paving
project to wrap
up Monday
BY NANCY SPENCER
DHI Media Editor
nspencer@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS The Shelly
Company will nish the East
Second Street paving project
on Monday. The work will
complete a ve-year plan to
refurbish Second Street from
Main to Douglas streets and
Elida Avenue to Elida Road.
Second Street was milled
earlier in the week and Shelly
began laying the asphalt Fri-
day and will nish at the be-
ginning of the week.
This portion of the plan
was funded with a $151,006
grant from the Ohio Public
Works Commission with the
citys contribution $37,750, or
20 percent of the project.
The Elida Avenue widen-
ing portion of the project was
completed in August 2012 by
Bluffton Paving and included the
widening and paving of Elida Av-
enue from Summers Lane east to
the corporation limits. The cost
was $212,592.45, slightly more
than budgeted, Mayor Michael
Gallmeier said Friday.
At the beginning of the Eli-
da Avenue project, the roadway
didnt meet state requirements
for a three-lane road. Widen-
ing it between Summer Lane
and McDonalds cost $18,000
and came from a permissive tax
stemming from gasoline sales.
This made the roadway eligible
for federal funds to pave it from
Elida Road to Douglas Street.

VAN WERT What happens
when the organization helping to feed
the less fortunate runs out of food? We
will soon nd out.
In a news release from the Salva-
tion Army Friday, it was announced
the organization, which provides help
for many in Van Wert County, is out
of food, practically. The agency re-
ports there may be enough food to last
through all of next week, but that will
be the last of it.
Major Judy Barter and Robin Agler
met in the pantry today to discuss what
to do next about the empty shelves and
pallets, read the release. No concrete
actions were outlined, although the
program operates on donations. The
United Way Day of Caring Food Drive
is used to stock the shelves, but where
those donations once lasted up to eight
months, it has stretched only four or ve
months the last couple of years. During
the Day of Caring in 2013, over 30,000
food items were donated.
At Thursdays meeting of the Salva-
tion Army Advisory Board, Daniece
Maller reported she had served 172 Van
Wert households with food in June, and
the July totals are expected to be even
higher. In addition, the Salvation Army
has had to stop all nancial assistance
which helps families pay utilities pay-
ments that are threatened to be shut
off, as well as rent, medicine and other
emergency needs so some Food Pantry
items could be restocked.
The cheapest source of food for
the Salvation Army has been the West
Ohio Food Bank in Lima, but they
have not been able to stock some of the
items used to complete healthy food
packages to be distributed. This has
forced the Salvation Army to buy cer-
tain items from local grocery stores at a
greater cost. The release notes, The lo-
cal market has been very generous, but
they cannot compete with the price of
shopping at the Food Bank. This has
become a familiar tactic for the Salva-
tion Army over the past two years.

Cloverdale man
dies in ATV crash
INFORMATION SUBMITTED
CLOVERDALE A Cloverdale man was pronounced
dead at the scene of an ATV rollover accident reported at 2:20
a.m. Friday.
The Putnam County Sheriffs ofce responded to a eld
west of the 120000 block of Road 23-L south of Cloverdale
where they found Andrew Altenburger, 28, in the eld with
life-threatening injuries. Altenburger had been ejected from
the ATV when it struck a surface drain and rolled.
Lifeight was called to the scene but canceled enroute. Al-
tenberger was pronounced dead on the scene by Putnam Coun-
ty Coroner Dr. Anne Horstman.
Also assisting at the scene were the Ottoville Fire Depart-
ment, Ottoville and Putnam County EMS and the Lima Post of
the State Highway Patrol.
PHILADELPHIA (AP)
Two men forced a woman into
the backseat of her sport util-
ity vehicle at gunpoint, drove
off but later lost control and
plowed into a group of people
on a corner near a fruit stand
on Friday, police said. Three
children, all siblings, were
killed, and at least two other
people were critically injured.
The woman was carjacked
about a mile away from the
scene of the accident in the
Tioga section of north Phila-
delphia, where the car jumped
a curb, Homicide Capt. James
Clark said.
Something obviously
went horribly wrong at this in-
tersection, he said. The ve-
hicle went out of control.
The victims who died were
7- and 10-year-old brothers
and their 15-year-old sister.
They had been selling fruit to
raise money for their church.
Police said one of the boys
was pronounced dead at the
scene and the girl died at a
hospital. The other boy died
later.
Their mother was in criti-
cal condition.
The two men ed the scene
on foot and are being sought.
Employees at Education
Works, an educational non-
prot across the street from
the site of the wreck, told The
Philadelphia Inquirer that they
ran to try to help the victims.
One boy had no pulse and an-
others was barely there, said
Karen Payne, who runs a sum-
mer camp at the nonprot.
Im certied in rst aid
and CPR my rst instinct
was to go to them, she said.
But I couldnt help.
Ofcials said a $40,000
reward was being offered,
$20,000 for each victim of
what were classied as homi-
cides. Police asked businesses
with surveillance cameras in
the area to provide footage
and asked anyone with infor-
mation in the case to come
forward.
The deaths and injuries
were a terrible tragedy,
Mayor Michael Nutter tweet-
ed, calling for prayers for the
injured and information on the
carjackers.

Homicide Capt. James Clark
AKRON, Ohio (AP) A judge overseeing the murder case
of a man accused of killing four people inside an Akron home
said Friday she should not be disqualied from presiding at
his trial.
Summit County Judge Mary Margaret Rowlands led a re-
sponse with the Ohio Supreme Court to counter prosecutors
claims she has shown bias in the aggravated murder case of
Deshanon Haywood, 22, of Akron.
Prosecutors claim Rowlands urged them to drop death pen-
alty specications in Haywoods case. Haywood faces multiple
counts of aggravated murder, aggravated robbery and kidnap-
ping in the drug-related shooting deaths of four people.
Rowlands motion denies that she had any improper conver-
sations with victims families, says she ruled correctly when
she denied a prosecutors attempt to strike a juror from the
panel and maintains that her conversation with Haywood about
his plea options came at his attorneys request.
Brad Gessner, chief counsel in the Summit County pros-
ecutors ofce, and Brian LoPrinzi, the lead prosecutor in the
Haywood case, led a motion with the Supreme Court to dis-
qualify Rowlands on Thursday, the day opening statements
were scheduled to begin.

NEW YORK (AP) Bel
Kaufman, the witty and spirit-
ed ction writer, educator and
storyteller whose million-sell-
ing Up the Down Staircase
captured the insanity and the
humor, the pathos and the
poetry of the American high
school, died Friday at age 103.
Kaufman, the granddaugh-
ter of Yiddish writer Sholem
Aleichem and a vital link to
Yiddish culture, died at her
Manhattan home after a brief
illness, said her daughter,
Thea Goldstine.
Kaufman was a middle-
age teacher and single mother
in the mid-1960s when her
autobiographical novel was
welcomed as a kind of civilian
companion to Joseph Hellers
Catch-22, a send-up of the
most maddening bureaucracy.
Like Catch-22, even the title
of Kaufmans book became a
tell-all label, shorthand for all
the senseless rules students
and educators could never
quite follow.
Up the Down Staircase, a
scrapbook of letters, notes and
memos, follows a few months
in the life of the idealistic
young Sylvia Barrett, the new
teacher at Calvin Coolidge
High School. She is a kind
soul staggering under a bliz-
zard of administrative non-
sense and student impudence.
When shes not being repri-
manded for her kids failure
to memorize the schools alma
mater song, she faces a crowd-
ed but endearing class of mis-
ts and other characters, from
rebel Joe Ferone to the brown-
nosing Harry A. Kagan.
When the book was re-
leased in 1965, The New York
Times Beverly Grunwald
praised Kaufmans refresh-
ing way of stating the facts, of
breaking down statistics into
recognizable teenagers, of
making you smile, be contrite
and infuriated all at once.
Kaufman became a hero-
ine for teachers and students
worldwide. Up the Down
Staircase has sold more than
6 million copies and has been
translated into 16 languages.
It was made into a lm of the
same name, starring Sandy
Dennis, and it helped start
a trend of candid education
books. Kaufman was delight-
ed to learn that teachers in one
of her former schools were
warned not to let her see any
memos, for fear they would
end up in a book.
Decades later, another New
York teacher-turned-celebrity,
Frank McCourt, would praise
Up the Down Staircase as
one of the few honest looks at
the public school system.
She got all the craziness
of the paperwork and the ad-
ministrators and supervisors,
McCourt, author of the mem-
oirs Angelas Ashes and
Teacher Man, said in 2005.
She was born Bella
Kaufman in Berlin and raised
in Odessa, her rst language
Russian. Her family ed in
1923 to escape the aftermath
of the Russian Revolution,
and she arrived in the U.S.,
at age 11, speaking no Eng-
lish. She was forced to begin
her American schooling in
the rst grade, her classmates
years younger. The kindness
of her teacher inspired her to
become an educator, too.
Language was a tempo-
rary handicap. She caught
up quickly, graduated magna
cum laude from Hunter Col-
lege in 1934 and received a
masters degree in English
from Columbia University
two years later. Around the
same time, she married Sid-
ney Goldstine, with whom she
had two children.
Literature was in her blood,
not just from her grandfather,
but from her mother, Lyalya
Kaufman, a popular and pro-
lic writer.
After leaving Columbia,
Bella Kaufman wrote short
ction, including La Ti-
gresse, published in Esquire
with a small but lasting revi-
sion: Kaufman shortened her
rst name to Bel because the
magazine only accepted work
by men.
During the 1950s and into
the 60s, she taught in high
schools and community col-
leges, never suspecting the
good fortune of the second
half of her life.

IN LOVING
MEMORY OF
TAMMY GIBSON
7-15-70 to 7-27-11
I sit here and ponder
how very much Id
like to talk with you
today. There are so
many things that we
didnt get to say. I
know how much you
care for me and how
much I care for you,
and each time that I
think of you, I know
youll miss me too.
An angel came and
took you by the hand
and said your place
was ready in Heaven
far above. And you
had to leave behind
all those you dearly
loved. You had so
much to live for, you
had so much to do...
It still seems
impossible that God
has taken you. And
though your life on
Earth has passed, in
Heaven it starts anew.
Youll live for all
eternity just as God
has promised you.
And though youve
walked through
Heavens Gate, we are
never far apart, for
every time I think of
you, youre right here,
deep within my heart.
We love & miss you
every day!

Ace here. I wonder how
it feels to have a forever
home and be loved. I imag-
ine it is great - lots of love,
toys, kids to play with, and
a cozy place to snooze. Im
still working on some of
my manners and Im a bit
unsure of all the new dogs
I meet. All I ask is that my
new family is willing to
give me some time to adjust
and work with me.

THOSE WERE THE DAYS
A DHI Media publication Saturday, July 26 & Sunday, July 27, 2014 A5
BY KIRK DOUGAL
DHI Media Group Publisher
kdougal@timesbulletin.com
The rst signicant military con-
ict of the Cold War was a direct re-
sult of how World War II ended.
Japan had ruled Korea before and
during the war and after the ghting
ended, the Allies split the country at
the Potsdam Conference just as they
had with Germany. Everything north
of the 38th parallel was occupied by
Soviet Union troops and everything
south was patrolled by Americans.
The Koreans were not consulted on
their countrys division.
With each passing year after the
end of World War II, the line on the
map became more of a political di-
vide, separated by communist ide-
als and democratic tenets. The two
sides had decided they would hold
the country in a ve-year trusteeship
before the people were returned to
self-rule. The Koreans, however, had
just lived through a 35-year rule by
the Japanese and all they saw were
foreign troops still occupying their
country.
The American military governor,
Lt. Gen. John Hodge, in response
to growing dissatisfaction and mass
demonstrations, eventually agreed
and allowed the south to hold free
elections after three years instead of
the originally agreed upon ve. Final-
ly given a choice, the South Korean
people chose to remain a democracy.
The decision to remain demo-
cratic-ruled infuriated the Soviets
so they in turn created a commu-
nist government in the northern part
of the country. Both leaders of the
separate Koreas wanted unication
but both demanded the new country
exist under their system. Tensions
mounted.
In 1950, the disagreements
reached a boiling point. By then the
U.S. had established their foreign pol-
icy of containment against commu-
nism; they would let it remain where
it was already established but they
would not allow it to spread. Since
U.S. ofcials assumed any commu-
nist country was under the control of
the Politburo in Moscow, that meant
the North Korean communists were
under Soviet control as well.
On June 25, 1950, North Korean
forces crossed the 358th Parallel un-
der the cover of artillery re. They
claimed the move was a retaliatory
attack and they would seek out the
South Korean president and arrest
him. Upon hearing of the attacks, the
United Nations voted unanimously
to step in a try to stop any more ght-
ing. President Truman ordered U.S.
troops into the fray.
The line of battle swung wildly
in the rst few months of the war.
The U.S. and its allies drove back the
northern forces until China entered
the ght on the communist side three
months later. The Chinese forces
laid a trap for ROK and U.S. forces
as they pushed north and forced the
U.S. 8th Army into the longest re-
treat in their history, nearly destroy-
ing them in the process.
By July of 1951, the battle line
had stabilized at roughly the 38th
parallel, where it began before the
ghting started. Two years of ne-
gotiations ensued, including a visit
from the new U.S. president, Dwight
Eisenhower. One of the biggest
hold ups was how to trade back the
prisoners of war since many of the
northern troops who had been cap-
tured refused to return home, want-
ing to stay in South Korea. In July
of 1953, UN commanders and Eisen-
hower agreed to a cease re not
an end to the war. For the next year,
the armistice between the two sides
held as they continued to negotiate a
full peace treaty, a nal end that was
never reached. POW exchange con-
tinued to be one of the major stick-
ing points in the talks but Operation
Glory - the exchange of remains of
the dead - was agreed to and contin-
ued until November of 1954.
Three years of ghting in Korea ends with long-standing armistice
SEOUL (AP) - Shooting stopped
along the Korean battlefront at 8
a.m. Monday (EST), bringing to an
abrupt halt 37 months of death and
destruction.
While ground ghting was all
but nil the nal hours, mounting
Communist artillery re took its
toll of Allied soldiers up to the last
minute. But at the truce hour, a
hush fell over the front.
The last man to die may never
be named. Nor, perhaps will the
last hero.
The front, usually aame at this
hour, just grew dark.
Men heaved sighs of relief, but
with great caution.
As the clock ticked off the sec-
onds, they grew more brave.
The wild yells broke out from
American GIs.
All day and into the night the
Reds had sent artillery and mor-
tar barrages screaming into Allied
lines east of Kumhwa on the cen-
tral front.
The barrages mounted in fury
as the hours went by. Sometimes
shells ripped front and rear line po-
sitions at the rate of four a minute.
Allied artillery boomed back
trying to silence the guns.
Even as the shooting ended,
litter jeeps and ambulances went
down dusty hill trails from outpost
ridges, bringing moaning, broken
men to rear hospitals.
Elsewhere on the 150-mile
front, an anxious silence, shattered
only by sporadic shelling or ma-
chine gun bursts, fell over bunkers
and trenches, where troops awaited
the ceasere.
While American and other U.N.
troops waited for darkness, the usu-
al time for Red attacks, the air war
continued.
Fifth Air Force said 400 Air
Force, Marine and carrier-based
planes unloaded bombs on Red
troops and supply concentrations in
he Kumsong Bulge sector. It was at
this east-central front strip that the
Communists two weeks ago hurled
their greatest attack in two years.
They will get to keep the few
miles won in a staggering cost in
human life. A map released by the
U.N. Command after the armistice
signing showed the Reds were giv-
en almost all the Kumsong Bulge,
plus some other ridges and out-
posts whose names became famous
because of bitter ghting for their
control.
Finger Ridge, Heartbreak Ridge,
scene of some of the wars bitterest
ghting and Old Baldy all went to
the Communists.
The war has claimed more than
1 1/2 million in dead, wounded
and missing. Allied troops, as the
shooting wore through its dying
hours, were apprehensive. None
wanted to be the last casualty.
Alls Quiet on Korean Front
Gunmen and other criminals had better
learn to bypass Van Wert County. Its been bad
territory for them as far back as 1907 when
Fred Hott of 425 South Walnut Street was
sheriff and captured Marvin Kuhns. It was
in the horse and buggy days and Kuhns was
a notorious horse thief who had terrorized the
district.
On June 2, 1907, Hott and a young fellow
from whom Kuhns had stolen a horse, chased
the thief north of town. Kuhns had the stolen
horse hitched to a buggy. Hott and the owner
drove up behind him. Fred told the young man
to nudge him as they went around if he recog-
nized the horse. The owner did recognize it,
got excited and yelled to the sheriff, Thats
my horse!
Kuhns, warned, made a temporary escape.
He ed from the buggy, got on another horse
belonging to a nearby farmer, rode it down a
dead-end lane, jumped off and went into the
Squibbs woods, a mile south of Scott. Hott
pursued and shot him. Badly wounded, he was
brought to Van Wert, lodged in jail and died
that night.
Incidentally, Hott is an uncle of Sheriff Roy
Shaffer.

50 Years Ago
This week in 1964, ofcials
at the inter-American foreign
minister conference reported
they were close to a vote for
placing a diplomatic and trade
quarantine on Cuba. It ap-
peared most of the ministers
were in line with the sanctions
being pushed by the Venezue-
lan government because of Fi-
del Castros interference in
Venezuela. Mexico and Chile
were the only two countries ex-
pected to vote to maintain nor-
malized relations with Cuba.
In Van Wert, Pangles se-
lected a site on the corner of
Jennings and Ervin Roads to
begin construction for a new
supermarket. While city of-
cials and members of the
Pangles family looked on, a
ribbon was cut and a bulldozer
pushed the rst load of dirt.
The building was expected
to be completed and open for
business by November.
The Delphos Girls Softball
team won a 5-4 game from Ot-
toville Monday night at Stadium
Park with the contest going into
extra innings. After scoring runs
by Patsy Foley and Linda Hoer-
sten in the sixth inning, Marilyn
Fischer connected for a home
run. Diana Spieles, who rapped
out a home run in the fourth in-
ning, got her second home run
in the bottom of the eighth for a
Delphos win, bringing in Karen
Shirack who had a triple.
75 Years Ago
This week in 1939, Ameri-
can and British policies in the
Far East appeared to be diverg-
ing as Great Britain recognized
a special position for Japan
occupying parts of China.
American ofcials continued
to deny any such recognition,
labeling Japans movement of
troops onto mainland China a
military invasion and occupa-
tion, violation of the Nine Pow-
er Treaty and the Kellog Pact.
Concern was raised the U.S.
may have no alternative but to
place U.S. troops in China to
help stop the invasion.

Sylvester Mesker, around
1976, age about 80, lived on old
Lincoln Highway just east of
Delphos.
When my grandfather
came to this country, he stayed
at Ft. Jennings about two years,
before he moved to Delphos.
He helped to build the ca-
nal, working 12 hours a day.
Sometimes he had to walk ve
or six miles to work and back.
They lived in a shack where
the orchard is now, (southwest
of the present house), until they
built this house. I dont know
for sure but this house was
probably built around 1855.
My father was a little boy when
this house was built. He was 80
years-old when he died. He had
been dead about 50 years.
The bricks for this house
came from a brickyard between
Second and Third streets, a
little west of where the bowling
alley is now.

Ford to Add
Many New Employees
Detroit; more than 25,000
shivering men stormed the
Fordson plant of the Ford Motor
company this morning as hiring
of the 30,000 new employees to
be added to the Ford payrolls
began.
A.E. Wilson, employment
manager of the plant, estimated
the crowd to number 12,000,
but as the additional men ar-
rived, he believed there was
around 30,000 men waiting for
work. Only 500 men will be
hired daily.
The men were noisy but or-
derly. Several hundred of them
had been standing in three
inches of snow since midnight,
but as the crowd increased, the
press of men broke up the line
of 12,000 and the job seekers
jammed against a high fence on
three sides of the employment
ofce building.
After 500 men were inter-
viewed and ordered to report for
work, the other men were told
to return tomorrow.
Practically all of the men
will be hired at the minimum
Ford scale of $5 a day.
The new employees will be
given jobs as Production men,
which consists of standing in
the Ford assembly line, doing
the same work all day.

The County recently dis-
continued the Microenterprise
Loan Fund by converting it
into a Revolving Loan Fund.
The reason for this involves
the default rate of the prior and
the possibilities provided the
County through the latter.
There are now two Van Wert
Revolving Loan Funds, the old
one, which remains managed
by the City of Van Wert, and
the new one managed by the County Economic Development
(ED) Ofce. Theres no real drawback in having two funds.
There is, however, some large upside in what we have planned
for the Countys Fund and a model available from one of our
neighbors to demonstrate its potential. There are multiple rea-
sons why Mercer County continually has one of the lowest un-
employment rates in the state while having one of the healthiest
population growth rates no boon, no bust, just steady. But
perhaps the biggest is what it has been able to do with its Re-
volving Loan Fund. More on that success below.
First, the concept. There are multifarious grant and fund-
ing sources to keep straight in the Countys strategic plan. Im
going to give the simple version of how were arranging it and
how this new Revolving Loan is central to it. If youre the kind
that can delve into numbers, agencies, and mind-numbing spe-
cics, contact the County ED Ofce Sarah is much like you.

To the editor,
At this time, Shelter Pets of Van Wert
would like to let everyone know that we
have and had no idea on the conditions of
the inside of the shelter. Neither Carole or
myself (Tammy) were ever inside the ac-
tual shelter part of the building. For our
adoption events, dogs were placed in the
outside kennels for us to come, pick up
and take to the events, or the dog warden
would transport some of them to us on
occasion.
Whatever this investigation brings,
please know, that we will, and always
will, continue to help our furry commu-
nity in all ways that we can. As Ive said
before.we speak for those who can not
speak for themselves.
Shelter Pets of Van Wert was started
independently as a page on Facebook,
Sept. 10, 2012, to showcase animals that
were at the shelter for people who werent
able to make it out there in person to look
at potential adoptables. We have found
homes for almost 300 dogs, puppies, cats
& kittens in less than two years and we
love that and we know our page works!
We are very concerned with this in-
vestigation ourselves, but we know that
no matter what happens, we will be here
. showing you all the animals that need
homes and love.
Our adoption event on Aug. 9 at TSC,
the Neuter Scooter, along with our booth
in the Administration Bldg. during the
US 127 Garage Sale is still happening.
We will also be representing the Van
Wert County Humane Society, Shelter
Pets and the Animal Shelter during the
Van Wert County Fair (also at the Ad-
ministration Bldg.).
Thank you so much for loving animals
as much as we do!

The Delphos Public Librarys Sum-
mer Reading Program, Fizz! Boom!
Read! has drawn to a close, ending with
our very popular pool party on a glori-
ous, warm summer night.
Ninety out of 140 eligible swimmers
attended and brought their families
along, too. In order to be eligible, the
kindergarten through fth graders had to
read 100 minutes a week for ve weeks
or a total of 500 minutes.
Many of our readers far exceeded
that expectation, some reading 2, 3, even
5,000 minutes this summer. All of our
readers will appreciate the ease with
which they slide back into the reading de-
mands of their school work, because they
have exercised their reading muscles!
One hundred ve toddlers and pre-
schoolers joined us this summer to enjoy
stories in many forms, lots of music and
movement, play doh, a balance beam,
crafts and picture bingo. Tyler Nygren,
local high school student and magician
extraordinaire entertained the preschool-
ers and their families at a Family Night.
Other popular programs this summer
included a day to imagine optical illu-
sions with DAAG. Boys and girls made-
believed they were planets in our galaxy
with the Armstrong Air and Space Muse-
um. A large number were entertained by
some exceptional actors portraying twist-
ed fairy tales and of course, thoroughly
enjoyed Mr. Molecule, who taught us that
science can be fun.
LETTERS/A7
A knock came at my door Friday morning. How odd, I
thought. I wonder who it could be.
It was the neighbor lady asking if our vehicle was wrecked
before or if it could have happened in the early hours of the day.
She and her husband had heard a loud bang and wondered if it
could have been someone hitting Sable. We had parked her in
front of the house because my husband sprayed for weeds in
both driveways on Thursday.
No, I told her. Sable hasnt been the same since she hit
that herd of deer at Christmastime several years ago.
We both laughed and took a few minutes to wonder what the
noise could have been and then we went about our day.
Come to think of it, she never told me her name and I never
asked or gave her mine. Shame on me.
There was a time when I knew everyone in my neighbor-
hood for at least a two-block radius. I knew the parents, the
kids and even the family pets.
I spent hours at the Schabbing house across the street, play-
ing kickball, tag, hide n seek and of course with dolls. They in
turn spent many hours in my toy room. (I was a little younger
than my siblings so I got to have my own toy room. Dont hate,
just accept.)
We also spent an inordinate amount of time behind the laun-
dromat playing in the milk crates. I cant explain the appeal
they had now, but we spent hours rearranging them and making
rooms and hideaways.
If we misbehaved, our par-
ents heard it from the neigh-
borhood watch. Now people
just call the police so they dont
have deal with the parents.
Sometimes that might be wise.
It was not uncommon for
people to sit out on their front
porch after supper and just visit.
Casseroles were delivered to sick or grieving families. Chil-
dren were swapped for a special evening out or just to give a
harried parent a break.
I still spend time on the porch and in the yard watering,
weeding and just puttering around but its just not the same. I
get a wave and a hello from the young girls and boys who walk
past my house every day but they dont have time to chat or
they dont want to with an old lady.
When I walk Ringo, we stop and visit with the Hammonds
if they are out and Bobbie and Dave, the couple next door. He
still gets more attention than I do but Ive come to terms with it.
No one is going to coming running down the sidewalk calling
my name or wanting to pet my head. That is not always a bad
thing, in my estimation. Just sayin.
NEIGHBOR/A7
As a kid, I had jobs. My
dad ran a shoe store, and I
did a lot of odd jobs around
the shop like washing the
windows. And I got paid. Not
much, mind you. I started at
10 cents per hour. My own
kids would never work that
cheaply, but for me it wasnt a
matter of getting all that mon-
ey, my main object was to do
my part. I wanted to have the
responsibility and be depend-
ed upon to do it properly.
The pay did increase even-
tually. I dont remember how
much or when. But I do re-
member when I got my rst
non-shoe-related job during
college, I worked for a salary
of $150 a week. Of course, I
was working way too many
hours for that to be good pay,
but it beat that old dime-an-
hour pay I once received.
Most of the rest of my life I
worked in management, so
I put in way too many hours
each week.
I also ran my own busi-
ness (with my family), and put
in 100-150 hours a week (as
most people running a busi-
ness have to). For the past de-
cade, I have worked either two
or three jobs, with my total
hours per week being a num-
ber I really dont want to think
about. Point being, if my pay
was calculated as an amount
per hour, I havent spent a lot
of time on the good side of
minimum wage. I work too
much for that.
This week I saw a story
about some politicians who are
planning to spend one week
living on minimum wage.
One whole week. Seven whole
days. Wow. Alright, I applaud
the effort of these people, in-
cluding a former Ohio gover-
nor. But lets face it, to live on
minimum wage for one week
these people arent going to
sell their homes, cancel their
insurance, and pay all the
larger bills that most everyday
people have to pay.
So basically, were talking
about food and incidentals,
right? The satellite dish isnt
being pulled down for this
demonstration. Of course the
whole thing is a stunt anyway,
but lets follow this through.
Well say these politicians
are working 40 hours next
week and will be paid $7.25
an hour. Thats $290 minus
whatever taxes are taken out.
One group claims that leaves
them with $77 for the week.
But of course, dont forget
that the biggest chunk out of
a minimum wage salary is
taxes.
Of $290, a total of $213 is
gured to pay taxes. This is
obviously misgured unless
there are special huge taxes for
people on minimum wage that
Im unaware of. But were going
to pretend that the ex-governor,
his wife and staff are going to
live on $77 a week. Can that be
done? Well, Im guring that
food and gas are about the
only things included in their
little experiment, so Ill go on
the record and say yes, it can
be done. And is done all the
time.
Now, their point is to sug-
gest that a move to $10.10 an
hour will make things much
more livable. According to
my old-fashioned math, the
suggested raise would cause
a minimum wage worker to
pull in another $114. Sure that
would help, but its not like
hitting the lottery or anything.
And if the strange tax rate
from this exercise is used, that
would still be less than $100 a
week in take home pay.
So on the whole, this is not
a good example. Its a ploy.
Im not making fun of anyone
on minimum wage. I worked
at and below minimum wage
for a while. Many people do.
But the thing is, I was not
content to stay at minimum
wage. I got a better-paying
job. I improved myself, added
some skills, stayed out of trou-
ble, and did better, eventually
landing the multi-million dol-
lar position I have now. Mini-
mum wage jobs are not meant
to be permanent jobs. If some-
one absolutely cant handle
more of a job, then we can talk
about another solution.

The least I can do
Whos your neighbor?
Summer reading
program a success
In boxing terms, this week the Affordable Care Act saw a
split decision on questions about its implementation in federal
appeals courts.
Of course, even that sentence implies something was deni-
tively decided.
For those who missed the legal battles, on Tuesday the U.S.
Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit issued a
2-1 ruling stating the federal government could not subsidize
health insurance for residents of states that do not use a state-
run exchange. Their reasoning was the language of the Afford-
able Care Act that said the health care law authorized subsidies
for health insurance bought through an exchange authorized
by the state.
The language seems pretty succinct and self-explanatory on
the surface. The ruling means only the 14 states that set up
their own heath insurance exchanges are eligible for subsidies
to participating residents.
However, the Obama administration argued, unsuccessful-
ly, the federal government was acting in the place of the states
when they created the federal health insurance exchange. The
judges did not buy this argument in the District of Columbia.
However, in the Fourth Circuit in Richmond, Virginia, ap-
peals judges found just the opposite meaning only a few hours
later. In this case the majority opinion stated that although the
law did not implicitly state the federal exchanges were eligible
for subsidies, the Internal Revenue Service ruling was a per-
missible exercise of the agencys discretion.
In other words, the IRS can interpret the meaning of a law,
even when the law does not say something.
As is usual, this argument all comes down to money. In the
36 states that do not have a locally run exchange, the vast ma-
jority of new sign-ups for health insurance will not be able to
afford the premiums without the subsidies. A Silver Plan on av-
erage costs $345 per month in premiums. With subsidies, how-
ever, participants pay only $69 per month. Ohio is one of the
states without a state exchange and estimates show premiums
costing an average between 58-69 percent more if the ruling
stands. If the majority of new sign-ups drop coverage due to
rising costs, then the whole system falls apart. The ACA is not
solvent unless a large majority of the U.S. population, includ-
ing the young and healthy who will pay disproportionately high
premiums, are involved in the plans. There just are not enough
dollars otherwise.
In the end our argument is not with the IRS grasping
greedily for more power. That situation appears to be the
norm these days in Washington D.C., even with certain
branches of the federal government. Our problem is with the
ACA and the shoddy way it was written and passed. If the
ACA was a good law that needed to clarify whether or not
federal exchanges were eligible for subsidies, then Congress
could pass a new law.
That, however, will not happen. The vast majority of Re-
publican legislators are against the ACA and a large number
of Democrat politicians - those running for ofce this year -
want nothing to do with a vote to x the ACA. Because if
the law is reopened for changes, where does the list stop? The
employer mandate deadline? The Small Employer Health Op-
tion Program deadline pushed back two years? The delay of
the low income plan by two years? The verication process for
subsidies by the IRS? Expanding the hardship waiver? A two-
year extension for non-compliant health care plans? In all, 42
major revisions or delays have occurred to the Affordable Care
Act since it was signed into law.
Instead, the American public will be treated to several
months of arguments as the D.C. appeals court hears the case
en banc (all 11 judges instead of only three) and the ruling will
most likely be overturned since seven judges were Democrat
appointees and four were Republican. That means the appeals
will continue and the nal say will come down to the U.S. Su-
preme Court sometime next year.

But jumping the pay rate by three dollars per hour is just
plain silly. Ive been the employer before, and I know that per-
sonnel costs are a companys biggest expense. The people pay-
ing minimum wage to its employees arent usually rolling in
money, and a large jump would make too big of an expense to
be continued at that rate. Many former governors and politi-
cians would lose their jobs under such conditions. And we cant
have that.
Im glad some people would like to get more in touch with
what its like to live on minimum wage, but its not something
you can do for a week. Just stop driving your car, buy some
Ramen noodles and cut off your phone, Internet, cable, and all
that silly stuff, and youll have a better idea. Oh, and give up
your household staff while youre at it. You might nd the real

There are still neighborhood children but not nearly as
many. We had the Carder boys, the Metcalfes, the Schabbings,
the Hammonds, the Trustees, the Rodes and on and on. We had
our own little pack and we would play neighborhood games of
kickball in the summer and hockey on the frozen canal in the
winter.
With our fast-paced lives and the rat race in which we live,
neighboring has gone by the wayside. I miss that.
The garages are locked even when people are home
and children no longer play outside like we used to. They are
hunched over computer screens or their phones, feverishly
playing video games, texting or sharing pictures or have other
scheduled activities.
I still know most of my neighbors, but there are a few I
couldnt tell you what their names are. We pass each other now
and then and give the obligatory wave or head nod but thats
about it.
Now that I think about it, I probably havent made the best
effort to correct that, either. And only I can change that. It takes

We took our grandchildren to see the
ne reworks at Delphos Stadium park
on July 4. When we returned to our car
parked on Clay Street, there was a note
on the windshield. Someone had ob-
served our car being sideswiped and was
able to get the license number.
Whoever was kind enough to write
that note, we thank you for caring enough
to do that.
As we inspected the damage, Deb
Talboom, her husband and their friends
came along. Deb quickly called the po-
lice department and stayed with us until
they arrived.
We would like to thank all four of
them for their act of kindness. It was very

The Revolving Loan pro-
gram itself works this way:
Lets say a business needs
$100,000 for a piece of equip-
ment. A county can apply for
a grant from the state to make
that loan. The borrowing com-
pany then makes payments on
the loan straight into the lend-
ing countys Revolving Loan
Fund, not back to the state. As
the county receives the money
back, it can lend it out again.
The loan, as the name would
suggest, revolves.
But Revolving Loan Funds
can also be used to supple-
ment other projects, like infra-
structure and revitalization.
On our immediate horizon
are two projects for which we
have submitted grant requests:
$300,000 for Ohio Citys
storm sewer and $300,000 for
the City of Van Werts down-
town. While we dont current-
ly have a business requesting
the $93,000 in the Countys
new Revolving Loan Fund, we
can utilize that money in these
projects. Using the Revolv-
ing Loan money in this way
not only increases funding for
each of those projects, but be-
cause it appears that the Coun-
ty is investing more of its own
money to expand the scope of
work, each of the $300,000
applications become more at-
tractive to a grant committee.
We nd out next month if we
win either of these grants.
Worried about spending
all the Revolving Loan Fund
money? Dont be. Thats ex-
actly what the state wants
done. If weve depleted our
fund and there is a new request
from a business, the County
can apply for a new Revolving
Loan grant. The state gets the
money pipelined from the fed-
eral government it just needs
a good reason to dole it out.
Organizing and perfecting
this process is where Mercer
County, under the direction of
Jared Ebbing, has been border-
line genius. It has made over
$12,000,000 in loans over the
last two decades, creating over
1,600 jobs. With administra-
tive fees and loan repayments,
the Mercer County ED ofce
now has $35,000 in revenue
monthly. The Revolving Loan
Fund managed by OSU Ex-
tension on behalf of the City
of Van Wert, in contrast, has
made $3,000,000 in loans and
created 200 jobs in that same
period.
There are three prime goals
in creating this new Revolving
Loan and our general strate-
gic plan. First, and foremost,
we want to create a climate for
steady growth. Unemployment
gures came out this week and
they were, as usual, misleading.
Although our unemployment
rate went up, there were 300
more people working. As long
as more people here are work-
ing every month at good jobs,
thats healthy growth no matter
the labor force participation de-
nominator.
Second, we would like the
economic development ofce
to become more than self-
nancing with grant adminis-
trative fees so taxpayers dont
foot the bill with local dollars.
Weve been able to nance
most of the work in our new
ofce so far through grants.
By learning to do things that
consultants have been previ-
ously paid to do for us, were
well on our way.
Third, we want develop-
ment available to all busi-
nesses and the entire county.
Ridgeview Hospital will be
adding another 150 jobs in the
coming months that makes
three hundred in a year and a
half with even more possibly
coming. One shouldnt dis-
count what can be done utiliz-
ing the strength of an entire
county as Mercer does. Us-
ing Revolving Loan money to
help build infrastructure will
loom large in this.
The Mega-Site is one idea
maybe 2,000 jobs overnight
but with the drawback of the
county being dependent on
one large employer. Another
idea is to gain 2,000 jobs
slowly over the next decade
with diverse employers pos-
sibly with even some of our
brightest kids staying home to
begin new enterprises. What
is detailed above is how such
things are done at least how
it has already been done one
county to the south.

Acts of kindness praised

POLICE
(From page A5)
In 1924 Sheriff Ed Terry
had an exciting gunman
case. In December four
young men tied up John
Sluterbeck, his wife and
daughter, near Scott, robbed
them, and left in a big sedan
which they had stolen. Their
car stuck in a snowdrift.
They commandeered the car
of a young man on his way
to get married and made him
accompany them to Indiana.
The four bandits were cap-
tured within a few days at
Terre Haute, Ind., returned
here, tried and sentenced to
the Ohio penitentiary. It was
John I. Millers rst case as
prosecuting attorney.
(This column appeared in
the Van Wert Times-Bulletin
the day after Sheriff Roy Shaf-
fer, Sgt. L.D. Conn, and game
warden Frank Friemoth were
involved in a shootout that re-
sulted in the death of escaped
killer John West and the cap-
ture of Robert Daniels.)
DAYS
(From page A5)
The Van Wert City Council approved a new budget for 1940 of
$82,010 to run the city government. This represented a raise from the
previous year of $1,055.
Two games of kittenball were played in the Delphos Rec-
reation League Tuesday evening. The Raabe team won from
Sheeters by a score of 6 to 4. The Lion team won from Millers
by a 4 to 2 score. The Lion game was played under protest by
the Lion team because of Millers using an illegal player. The
protest was withdrawn, however, when the Lion team won the
game.
100 Years Ago
This week in 1914, nearly a month after the assassination
of Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the ambassador of
Austro-Hungary delivered an ultimatum to the Serbian foreign
ministry to accept their investigation into the killing, suppress
all anti-Austrian propaganda, and to destroy all terrorist orga-
nizations within the Serbian borders. In the aftermath, Germa-
ny backed the ultimatum and Austria while Russian ofcials
rushed aid to their ally, Serbia.
A massive break in the city water main on Central Avenue
in Van Wert caused water to rush down the street in such a
wave the mains and the city water tank at the pumping station
were bled dry. The run off caused Town Creek to rise nearly
a foot in height. Concern now centered on any res within the
city since the repairs were expected to take several days and
the re department and citizens would have no water to ght a
blaze in the meantime.
A Van Wert man was arrested by Chief Kehres for selling
liquor to a Delphos person on the blacklist. Police ofcials re-
ported that at least two more Delphos people were under inves-
tigation for selling liquor to persons also on the blacklist.
ARMISTICE
(From page A5)
The Korean War is sometimes referred to as The Forgotten
War, overshadowed by World War II and the Vietnam War.
More than 36,000 U.S. troops died during the ghting.
The television show M*A*S*H was set in the Korean War
theater. While ghting in real life lasted only a little more than
three years, the show continued on for 11 seasons.
Here now is a reprint of the July 27, 1953, Van Wert Times-
Bulletin article detailing the onset of the armistice of the Ko-
rean War.
(From page A5)
Only a handful of patrol
skirmishes, mostly between
Chinese and South Koreans,
were reported across the front.
Deadly American Sabre-
jets, their wartime MIG bag
totaling around 800 MIGs
destroyed, prowled North
Koreas skies for the Russian-
made jets.
One 25-man Sabre ight
roared north to the Yalu River
and sighted 12 MIGs. But the
Red jets ew to safety in Man-
churia.
Peiping radio broadcast the
text of an order from North
Korean Marshal Kim Il Sung
and Chinese Gen. Peng Teh-
huai. The Red generals told
Communist forces to stop
ghting at 10 p.m., pull back
two kilometers (about 1 1/4
miles) and not again cross
even one step into the demili-
tarized zone.

Delphos City Team

Defeats Indiana
Colored Team
Inability of the visitors to shoot the
rim when opportunity offered, together
with the speedy work of the Delphos City
team spelled defeat for the Indiana Colored
Comets at St. Johns auditorium Monday
night. The nal score was 43 to 20, in favor
of the locals.
Delphos took the jump on the visitors at
the outset, scoring seven points before the
colored players could nd the rim. From
that point until the half, they scored on
even terms, each making nine points, and
the score at the half was 13 to 9.
The Hoosiers started to cut the lead in
the second half, bringing as low as three
points, 19 to 16. Then the Delphos team
went into action with a vengeance and
rang up basket after basket, adding twen-
ty four points while the visitors were able
to garner only four more. Final count, 43
to 20.
Weigle led the scoring for Delphos with
thirteen.
Taylor, center for the Hoosiers, also
scored 13 points.

Old Folks Fall

Before Youngsters
in Game
Failing to show a tting respect for the
aged, the undergrads of Delphos High,
handed a double defeat to the Alumni in the
annual Varsity-Alumni tilts at the Jefferson
auditorium Friday night.
The high school girls started matters
off by handing their elders a severe drub-
bing, 44 to 15. The Varsity accumulated
22 points to 4 for the opponents in the rst
quarter and brought to 36 to 6 at the half.
M. Stirn was the leading offender with
26 points. Judkins was a close second with
19.
The line-ups:
Alumni: E. Stirn rf, Redd rf, Humphrey
c, Irvin c, Ford rg, Scott lg; Varsity: M.
Stirn, Judkins, Longemeyer, Jones, Mc-
Gue, Viel.
The boys lineup follows:

Sidewalks along Elida
Road and part of Fifth Street
were also installed as part
of the effort. The sidewalks
stretch between Point Mara-
thon to Fifth Street and round
the corner, ending just east
of Cabo Mexican Restaurant.
The price tag was $73,000 and
local taxpayer dollars were
only spent on the engineer-
ing required to make a sales
pitch to the government when
competing for the grant. The
majority of the money came
from federal highway funding
through the Ohio Department
of Transportation and the city
had a match the grant is an
80-20 match. The 20 percent
was covered by the two major
properties effected L&W
Associates, owner of the Se-
nior Villas, and Superior Fed-
eral Credit Union. The city
only paid for engineering costs
at approximately $10,000.
The city also installed side-
walks on Elida Avenue from
in front of Rite Aid to Mc-
Donalds in 2009 with a grant
from the Ohio Department of
Transportation allowing for
pedestrian trafc to Eastowne
Center.
Second Street and Elida
Avenue will be completed
with this last bit of paving,
Gallmeier said. I think the
residents will enjoy a smooth-
er drive on the roadway.

So with demand for food
increasing and available food
running dangerously low, help
is needed to keep satisfying

Im proud to say that Van
Wert is now among the com-
munities enjoying this cutting-
edge technology, said State
Representative Tony Burkley.
AT&Ts investment is an ex-
ample of the companys over-
all commitment to this area,
and builds on our reputation
as a strong region for business
investment.
This is news thats truly
useful for anyone in your
community that uses a mobile
phone or other wireless tech-
nology, summarized Holling-
sworth.
This expansion is part of
AT&Ts Project Velocity IP
(VIP), a three-year investment
plan announced in Fall 2012
to expand and enhance its IP
broadband networks. Through
this investment, AT&T is sup-
porting its customers grow-
ing desire for high-speed In-
ternet access and new mobile,
app and cloud-based services.
As part of Project VIP, AT&T
plans to add macro cell sites
nationwide by year-end 2015,
as well as deploy small cells
and add Distributed Antenna
Systems to increase the den-
sity of its wireless network.
We continue to see de-
mand for mobile Internet
skyrocket, and our 4G LTE
network in Van Wert responds
to what customers want from
their mobile experience
more, faster, reliably, on the
best devices, said AT&T Ex-
ternal Affairs Director Mark
Romito. Well continue to
invest and transform our in-
frastructure in response to the
demands of the Ohio market-
place.
(From page A7)
In a similar vain, American author
Dorothy Fisher once wrote, It is not
good for all our wishes to be lled;
through sickness we recognize the val-
ue of health; through evil, the value of
good; through hunger, the value of food;
through exertion, the value of rest.
When a new year begins, experts at-
tempt to predict the trends. Some do it for
pure entertainment. Others are paid big
bucks to give investors and business lead-
ers a head start. Many pregnant couples
opt to wait to nd out the sex of their
child, adding to the excitement.
If fortune tellers were legit, they
would all be richwinning all the big
lottery jackpots. We want to believe there
is a pot at the end of the rainbow. Life
is full of mysteries and unexpected sur-
prises.
Medical researchers may offer the
best hope of peeking into the future.
They are nding ways to predetermine
if people are predisposed to serious ill-
nesses, such as cancer, heart disease and
other life-altering ailments.
People must decide. Do they want to
know their future? The answers may be
good, or bad. Part of the beauty of life is
the uncertainty.
Would you read a 500-page mystery
novel if you knew the secret ending in
advance? Are movies as good when you
have already seen the ending? Would you
pay $2,000 to attend a major sporting
event if you knew who was going to win?
The present is the gift. Its not the
destination that thrills us, it is the jour-
ney getting there. What we really crave,
and what keeps us motivated is the ex-
citement and the suspense of tomorrow.
Whats just around the corner.
*****
About 14 years ago, the Waushara
County Prevention Council, an ofce
of the Dept. of Aging, shared these 10
commandments of how to get along with
people. They are good, common sense
advise to all of us.
1. Always say less than you think.
How you say it often counts more than
what you say.
2. Make promises sparingly, and keep
them.
3. Praise good work, regardless of
who did it. If criticism is needed, offer
it gently.
4. Make merry with those who rejoice,
and weep with those who mourn.
5. Dont burden those around you by
dwelling on your problems. Everyone
carries some kind of burden often heavi-
er than your own.
6. Keep an open mind. Discuss, but
dont argue.
7. Discourage gossip. It is a waste of
valuable time and can be destructive.
8. Wit and humor at another persons
expense may do more damage than you
may ever know.
9. Pay no attention to disparaging re-
marks. Live so that nobody will believe
them.
10. Dont be too eager to get the credit
due you. Do your best and be patient.
Success is much sweeter that way.

According to Presstime magazine,
Steven Connor never dreamed holding a
garage sale could be so dangerous.
Married for eight years, Connor ran
an ad in the Tulsa World, announcing,
Husband has unauthorized garage sale,
while his wife, Susan, and their two ador-
able children were away on vacation.
When his wife returned and discov-
ered what had been sold, she wasnt hap-
py. Connor ran another ad proclaiming,
Husband in the doghouse, and pleaded
for the return of the most sentimental
items sold.
Seems Connor, with all good inten-
tions, sold his childrens rst baby shoes,
outts worn home from the hospital and
his daughters Madame Alexander doll
collection. It went fast and at full asked
for price!
Connor offered to buy back the items
at $3 for every $1 spent. A few items
found their way home. Connor learned
the hard way: some things just arent for
sale. And, no good deed goes unpun-
ished.

SATURDAY, JULY 26 & SUNDAY, JULY 27, 2014 B1
BY JIM COX
DHI Media Correspondent
sports@timesbulletin.com
VAN WERT Many 10-to-15-year-old
youth involved in the YWCAs Summer Food
Program have now become avid tennis players.
On the rst day I got started with the kids,
the vast majority of them had not ever held a
racquet, said tennis director Kara Thomas.
At the end of the rst session, the kids were so
excited when they realized that they were able
to come back to continue playing. I even had a
few kids tell me they were going to ask their
parents and/or siblings if they could come out
and play, which ultimately was our number
one goal. Its been very exciting to see the im-
provement the kids have made. Theres a lot of
potential in that group.
It all started when local tennis enthusiast
Kim Purmort approached YWCA Summer
Food Program supervisor Hannah Phlipot
about the possibility of the United States Ten-
nis Association getting involved. Purmort and
many other members of the Van Wert County
Tennis Association have conducted the USTA
Youth Tennis Program every summer since
2011, so Purmort and Phlipot agreed that the
youth in the Summer Food Program could
benet from similar activities.
Purmort and YWCA Program Director
Danni Chiles lled out the paperwork for
a $500 USTA grant, which was approved.
Thomas, who also directs the VWCTA sum-
mer tennis program, agreed to direct the new
program.
Thomas, with the help of assistants Zach
Wise, Jeremy Kline, Melissa Bloomeld and
Paige Dunlap, conducts once-a-week two-hour
sessions for four weeks, the last one on July
30. Approximately 35 youth from the Summer
Food Program have been involved. About half
of them participate in an hour of tennis activi-
ties at the Van Wert County Foundation Ten-
nis Complex, while the other half participates
in other supervised activities on nearby elds.
The two groups then switch during the second
hour.
The goals of the tennis from the Sum-
mer Food Program standpoint are to provide
an opportunity for our kids to experience the
sport, learn something new, and provide physi-
cal activity and movement, said Phlipot. I
think the tennis has been extremely successful.
The kids in our food program have been very
excited about going to the tennis courts each
week. This program allows them exposure to
something they may not have had otherwise.
As soon as the rst week ended, I couldnt
wait to tell the people who work alongside me
how incredibly happy I was to work with this
program, added Thomas. I knew it had been
successful the rst day when I had numerous
kids come up and thank me without having
been told to by an adult. I measure success by
the happiness of the children involved in the
program, and so far, it has been a major suc-
cess.
YMCA Summer Food Program becomes youth tennis success
BEREA, Ohio (AP) Like reading a blitz, Johnny Manziel
knew the questions about his off-eld wildness were coming.
So the Browns quarterback struck rst.
At the end of the day, Manziel said, Ive made some
rookie mistakes.
On the eve of Clevelands rst training camp practice, Man-
ziel offered some regret about his well-chronicled weekend
partying over the past two months. But as he prepares to battle
Brian Hoyer for a starting job, Manziel said hes in good stand-
ing with his bosses.
Its time to get to work.
From here on, hes Johnny All About Football.
Theres some things that I wish I couldve gone back and
done a little differently, Manziel said. But Im continuing to
move forward and trying to represent this organization in a
positive manner and a positive light, so just very excited to be
back in camp and its football 24/7 and thats what I love doing.
Thats what I live for and its what my job, so for me, Im very
excited to be back and cant wait to get this underway.
Manziel addressed his fraternity-guy-gone-wild behavior,
which included photos of him hanging out poolside in Las Ve-
gas with Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski, swigging cham-
pagne on an inatable swan pool raft in a Texas nightclub and
a shot of him rolling a dollar bill in a bathroom. Manziel didnt
say hell change completely, but vowed to be focused on foot-
ball going forward.
Manziel opened his news conference by discussing his off-
eld exploits, saying he has spoken to Browns coach Mike Pet-
tine and general manager Ray Farmer.
For me, my main thing is, people within this building, my
teammates, the coaching staff, the higher-ups in this organiza-
tion weve all been on the same page, he said. Weve all been
good and very eager to be moving forward.
For weeks, the Browns downplayed Manziels antics. But as
his questionable conduct continued and after the startling pho-
to surfaced of Manziel with the rolled-up bill, Pettine reached
out to the 21-year-old while he was on vacation.
Ive talked about that with Coach Pettine, Manziel said.
Ive talked about it with Farmer and the people I needed to
talk about that with. Moving forward, theyre good with every-
thing. Ive told them everything that I need to, and everythings
been good.
While acknowledging he could have made better decisions,
Manziel also defended his lifestyle.
I dont think theres anything wrong with me going out and
having a night life, having a social life, he said. I mean I am
21 years old and I do like going out and it was the offseason.
Its free time for us and if I want to go out and hang out with
my friends or go to nightclubs or do things like that then I think
thats within my rights to be doing that.
I think theres other guys throughout the league that are do-
ing that and Im not trying to compare myself to anybody else
but I think thats within my rights to be doing that.
Manziel doesnt think his busy social calendar will hurt his
chances to beat out Hoyer.
I dont believe so, he said. I think there are denitely
things moving forward to help better act as a professional. At
the same time, Im still learning how to do that. Im still getting
used to this role, still getting used to this league, still getting
used to being a pro football player.
Im not in college anymore. Theres things I need to do bet-
ter, and thats just part of being a professional. Hopefully with
time and going through this season and as time goes on, Ill get
better at doing that.
The former Texas A&M star enters his rst camp as Cleve-
lands No. 2 quarterback behind Hoyer, who will get all the
reps with Clevelands starting offense during the rst few days
of camp.
Pettine, who earlier this week said he wants to name his
starter pretty quickly believes Manziel enters camp well pre-
pared to compete with Hoyer.
The continuous controversy surrounding Manziel has some-
what overshadowed Hoyer, who has worked his way back af-
ter suffering a season-ending knee injury in his third start last
season. The homegrown Hoyer is certain hell hang on to his
starting job and be behind center when the Browns open at
Pittsburgh on Sept. 7.
Im condent I am that guy, but in the same sense I know
if it comes down to the fact Johnny does beat me out I will
have given everything I can and he will have totally earned it,
Hoyer said. Thats what you want. All I ask is the opportunity
and a chance to earn the job, and thats what Ive been given.
For me its about going out every day and proving I can be that
guy I believe I am.

CINCINNATI (AP) Tanner Roark
won the nal spot in Washingtons ro-
tation during spring training. Halfway
through the season, hes the Nationals
top winner.
Roark allowed only three singles over
seven innings on Friday night, and De-
nard Span matched Cincinnatis hit total
with his four singles, leading the Nation-
als to a 4-1 victory that extended their
surge and the Reds slump.
The Nationals won for the seventh
time in nine games. They are 56-44, the
second-best mark after 100 games in
franchise history. The 2012 club went 60-
40 on its way to the NL East title.
Roark (10-6) became Washingtons
rst 10-game winner and improved to
3-0 in his last three starts. The right-
hander has allowed three runs over 21
innings during those three wins, lower-
ing his ERA to 2.82 the best in the
rotation.
Nobody would have predicted that
during spring training.
Its pretty cool just to think about,
Roark said. You dream ever since youre
a kid of getting to the big leagues. I took
the opportunity and tried to run away
with it.
It is a little surprising. Its been a
good ride so far. Keep it going.
Rafael Soriano gave up a walk and a
double in the ninth while getting his 24th
save in 27 chances and nishing the com-
bined four-hitter.
The Reds remain stalled since the All-
Star break, dropping all seven games for
their longest losing streak in ve years.
Its the rst time they have lost their rst
seven games after the All-Star break
since 1991, when they dropped eight in
a row.
Span had four singles, stole a base and
drove in a run off Alfredo Simon (12-5),
who has lost both starts since his rst
All-Star selection. The Nationals piled
up nine hits, two walks and three runs
off Simon in only 4 1-3 innings.
Span is 9 for 18 on Washingtons road
trip with two four-hit games.
Hes been great, manager Matt Wil-
liams said. The key for him is hitting the
ball back through the middle. Weve seen
that over the last week or so, hitting the
ball up the middle or the other way.
Heading into the All-Star break, the
Reds won seven of nine at home, cutting
their decit in the NL Central from seven
games to 1 1-2. Their worst road trip in
ve years wiped out most of their gains,
but they had hoped to get their offense
back in form at hitter-friendly Great
American Ball Park.
Roark allowed a run in the fourth
when Billy Hamilton singled, stole sec-
ond and came around on Ryan Ludwicks
ineld single. Otherwise, the Reds got
only one other runner to second base.
During the seven-game losing streak,
Cincinnati has batted .176 as a team
while scoring a total of 13 runs.
Its just really a mental game, man-
ager Bryan Price said. When we were
going good before the break, nobody was
pressing. Now, everybodys pressing. We
cant get our offense going because were
not getting a lot of baserunners.
Washington had at least one hit in
each of the rst six innings, with four
players having multi-hit games. The Na-
tionals put ve hits together in the fourth
for three runs, including Zach Walters
RBI double, Spans single and Anthony
Rendons run-scoring single. Adam La-
Roche singled home a run in the sixth off
J.J. Hoover.
Walters was called up Wednesday to
ll in while Ryan Zimmerman is dis-
abled by a pulled hamstring.
NOTES: 1B Joey Votto continues to
do rehab for the strained muscles above
his left knee. Hes been on the DL since
July 8. I think we need to let a few more
weeks go by before we can really start to
see that theres a point in time when we
know hes going to be back, Price said.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP)
Pinch-hitter Billy Butlers
two-run homer with two outs
in the eighth inning sent the
Kansas City Royals over the
Cleveland Indians 6-4 Friday
night for their fourth straight
win.
Butler connected against
John Axford, sending a drive
over the Royals bullpen in left
eld. Butler was hitting just
.200 in his previous 20 games
with two RBIs before pinch-
hitting for Raul Ibanez.
Kelvin Herrera (2-2)
pitched a scoreless eighth and
Aaron Crow worked around a
leadoff double in the ninth to
earn his second save in four
chances.
Royals closer Greg Hol-
land, who had pitched in the
three previous games, was un-
available.
Carlos Carrasco (3-4) gave
up a single to Salvador Perez
before Butlers home run.
Perez, who had three hits,
and Mike Moustakas had
back-to-back home runs to
open the second.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) Juan Pablo
Montoya is back at Indianapolis Motor Speed-
way one night only, an encore of sorts, in a
guest-starring role for Team Penske.
The Colombian is entered in the Brickyard
400 for the explicit purpose of winning at Indy
in NASCAR and giving team owner Roger
Penske one of the few trophies missing from
his collection.
Montoya is not looking for a good points
day on Sunday and doesnt care about a top-10
nish.
Its checkered ag or bust.
With the position Im in here, its do or
die, Montoya said Friday. I dont care about
nishing fth or sixth or seventh.
Montoya left NASCAR at the end of last
season, when his contract was not renewed by
Chip Ganassi. He jumped to IndyCar to drive
for Ganassi rival Penske, who has given Mon-
toya the opportunity to return to the Brickyard
to get the win that got away.
Although he won the Indianapolis 500 in
2000, Montoya went 0-for-7 at Indy during his
NASCAR days. But he was oh-so-close at least
twice, and many believe Montoya coughed
those wins away.
He led 116 laps in 2009 until a speeding
penalty on his nal pit stop cost him the win,
and he was out front the next year with 20 laps
remaining until an ill-timed caution ruined his
day. Montoya went to pit road and got four tires
while everyone else took two. Stuck deep in
trafc with little time to make up the ground,
he crashed and nished 32nd.
Yeah, once or twice, and I probably coul-
da, shoulda and wouldve won the 500 this
year as well, he said. But coulda, woulda
and shouldve doesnt count. At least I had a
chance and I still think Ive got a good chance
this year.
Montoya was back at the Brickyard in May
for the Indianapolis 500, where he was con-
dent he had a shot at drinking the celebratory
milk for the second time in his storied career.
Although he led three times for 16 laps, he n-
ished a distant fth as Penske teammate Helio
Castroneves battled winner Ryan Hunter-Reay
down to the wire. Now 14 races into his Indy-
Car return, Montoya has hit a groove and is
beginning to resemble the driver who won the
1999 CART championship.
Since Indy, hes scored three podium nish-
es and won his rst race since 2010 at Pocono.
He feels his results could be much better.
I was talking the other day to my Indy car
race engineers and said, Its a shame the 500
was the rst race this year on an oval, Mon-
toya said. Now that Ive raced more races, I
look back on it and say, I should have put this
much more front wing in, I should have done
this and should have done that but didnt know
what to expect.
Montoya doesnt have that problem at Indy,
where hes familiar with the track and the
car. Penske sent him to Michigan in June as
a warm-up and he nished 18th, but used the
opportunity to work with his pit crew for the
rst time and get accustomed to Penske drivers
Joey Logano and Brad Keselowski.
What he learned and struggled with on
Friday is that he doesnt prefer the setup Lo-
gano and Keselowski use and needs track time
to get the car to his liking.
Montoya back at Indy intent
on winning for Penske
OHIO DEPARTMENT OF
NATURAL RESOURCES
Division of Wildlife
NORTHWEST OHIO
Bucyrus Reservoir #1 (40 acres;
Crawford County) Anglers can expect
to catch largemouth bass, channel catsh,
bluegill and bullheads this time of year;
sh the cover along the shore consisting of
timber, brush and weeds. Anglers seeking
out largemouth bass should try minnows,
plastic worms, tube jigs and crankbaits.
A primitive boat ramp is available, off SR
98, just east of Beechgrove Road; there are
no motor restrictions but boats must oper-
ate at no-wake speeds.
Resthaven Wildlife Area (444 acres;
Erie County) With 10 different ponds,
anglers should still be able to hook into
some largemouth bass this time of year;
typical lures include plastic worms and
crankbaits. Pond 7 is also excellent for
carp; for something new, try bow sh-
ing from the access roads or from a boat.
Boats may be used on the ponds; however,
no boat ramps are available at most of the
ponds; Pond 8 does have a boat ramp and
a handicapped-accessible shing pier.
Gasoline motors up to 9.9 HP may be used
on all ponds.
LAKE ERIE
The daily bag limit for walleye on
Ohio waters of Lake Erie is 6 sh per an-
gler; minimum size limit is 15 inches.
The daily bag limit for yellow perch is 30
sh per angler on all Ohio waters of Lake
Erie. Through Aug. 31 the trout and
salmon daily bag limit is 5 sh per angler;
minimum size limit is 12 inches. The
daily bag limit for black bass (largemouth
and smallmouth bass) in Ohio waters of
Lake Erie is 5 sh per angler; minimum
size limit is 14 inches.
Western Basin
Walleye: Fishing has been good north
of West Sister Island, off Magee Marsh,
west and north of A can of the Camp
Perry ring range, around northwest reef
and west of Rattlesnake Island. Anglers
trolling are using worm harnesses with
inline weights, divers or bottom-bouncers
and spoons pulled behind divers; anglers
casting are using mayy rigs or are drift-
ing with bottom bouncers and worm har-
nesses.
Yellow Perch: Fishing has been good
just off Turtle Island, between Green and
Rattlesnake islands and from Marblehead
to Kelleys Island. Perch-spreaders with
shiners shed near the bottom produce the
most sh.
Smallmouth Bass: Are being caught
north of Kelleys Island, around South Bass
Island and around Marblehead using tube
jigs, crankbaits and jerkbaits.
Largemouth bass: Are being caught
in the harbors and bays and also along the
main lake shoreline around Catawba using
crankbaits, spinner baits and soft plastics.
Central Basin
Walleye: Fishing has been good off
Sawmill Creek, at the dumping grounds
off both Huron and Lorain, at the sandbar
between Vermilion and Lorain includ-
ing the weather buoy near the Canadian
border in 50-60 feet of water north-
east of Rocky River and in 60 feet north
of Cleveland; excellent shing has been
reported in 56-72 feet north-northeast of
Geneva and in 70-74 feet of water north
of Ashtabula. Anglers are using planer
boards, Dipsy-and Jet-divers with worm
harnesses, spoons and stick baits.
Yellow Perch: Anglers are catching
some in 30-40 feet north of Gordon Park/
Wildwood Park; excellent shing has been
reported in 48-51 feet of water north-
northeast of Ashtabula and in 54-70 feet
of water north of Conneaut. Shore shing
has been spotty off the East 55th and East
72nd streets piers in Cleveland and at the
long pier off Mentor Headlands. Perch-
spreaders with shiners shed near the bot-
tom produce the most sh.
Smallmouth Bass: Fishing has been
excellent in 17-22 feet of water around the
harbor areas in Cleveland, Fairport Har-
bor, Geneva, Ashtabula and Conneaut us-
ing drop-shot rigs with tube baits, leeches
and soft craws.
White bass: Anglers shing from
boats are catching these north of Cleve-
land, Eastlake and Fairport Harbor in
20-40 feet; watch for the gulls feeding on
the surface and the bass will be below the
school of emerald shiners. Anglers shore
shing are catching sh off the piers in
Cleveland, Eastlake and the Grand River,
with the evenings the best time. It is al-
ways hard to predict when the shing will
pick up for white bass. Anglers are using
small spoons, spinners and agitators with
jigs tipped with twister tails.
Channel Catsh: Fishing has slowed
down along the Grand River. Successful
anglers are using nightcrawlers and large
chubs.
Water Temperature: The Lake Erie
water temperature is 72 degrees off Toledo
and 72 degrees off Cleveland according to
the nearshore marine forecast. Anglers are
encouraged to always wear a U.S. Coast
Guard-approved personal otation device
while boating.
Fish Ohio report
COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. (AP)
Frank Thomas was always driven to ex-
cel, and that sure served him well.
I was never that blue-chip prospect,
he said. I had to outwork my opponents.
Hard to imagine now that Thomas
was ever anything except a huge star.
For Thomas, the 6-foot-5, 240-pound
former Chicago White Sox slugger
known as the Big Hurt, life has come full
circle from awe-struck rookie in 1990
to baseball royalty.
Thomas was elected in January to the
Hall of Fame, along with pitchers Greg
Maddux and Tom Glavine. Also to be in-
ducted Sunday are managers Joe Torre,
Tony La Russa and Bobby Cox, who were
selected in December.
This is the top 1 percent in all of
baseball that gets in the Hall of Fame,
said Thomas, the rst player elected to
the Hall of Fame who spent more than
half of his time as a designated hitter. As
a kid, the big dream is being a profession-
al. But to make it to the Hall of Fame?
Come on, youve got to pinch yourself.
Im very fortunate it happened for me,
especially rst ballot.
Thomas won AL MVP awards in 1993
and 1994 and nished his 19-year career
with a .301 batting average, 521 homers
and 1,704 RBIs.
He also won the 1997 AL batting ti-
tle and helped show that in more recent
times a power hitter could also be selec-
tive at the plate.
Thomas played 16 years for the White
Sox and established himself as the best
hitter in franchise history. Hes the only
player in major league history to log sev-
en straight seasons with a .300 average,
20 homers, 100 RBIs and 100 walks.
Heady territory for a guy who didnt
take baseball seriously until he was 12
and many thought would end up as a star
tight end in the NFL because of the dev-
astating blocks he delivered.
Hitting was something I took very
serious. The way I swung the bat at
times, youd think I was 5-foot-9 and 160
pounds, said Thomas, who decided to
focus solely on baseball as a sophomore
at Auburn. But I cared about getting hits
and scoring runs. A lot of people didnt
know that about my game. Yes, I hit a lot
of home runs, drove in a lot of runs, but
there were many days that I was just con-
tent getting singles and getting on base
and letting the other guys drive me in.
Just as impressive: Thomas, Babe
Ruth, Mel Ott, and Ted Williams, are the
only players in major league history to
retire with a career batting average of at
least .300, 500 home runs, 1,500 RBIs,
1,000 runs scored, and 1,500 walks.
The effect of the Steroids Era was
front and center at last years induction
ceremony. The 2013 class consisted of
Jacob Ruppert, umpire Hank ODay and
catcher Deacon White all three had
been dead for more than 70 years and
was picked by a select 16-member com-
mittee.
It marked just the second time in 42
years that members of the Baseball Writ-
ers Association of America failed to
elect anyone. Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa,
and Roger Clemens all linked to ste-
roids didnt even come close in their
rst year of eligibility.
That was not lost on Thomas.
I played in an era that people are go-
ing to be thinking about for a long time,
said Thomas, who was plagued by inju-
ries in his later years. Im proud that I
stuck to my guns and did things the right
way, the proper way.
Induction day probably will seem like
a reunion of sorts for Maddux, Glavine,
and Cox, who were
mainstays together on the Atlanta Braves
for a decade.
To have the opportunity to go in with
two guys that were a teammate and a
manager for a long time, guys that were
such a big part of my career but also
helped make me a better player, thats a
great opportunity, Glavine said. Every
once in a while, Ill have some moments
where its hard to get my brain around
whats going on.
Maddux was elected by an over-
whelming margin, receiving 97.2 per-
cent of the votes from the BBWAA. He
won 355 games, four straight Cy Young
Awards and a record 18 Gold Gloves.
Glavine, who was selected by nearly 92
percent of the voters, had 305 wins and
two Cy Young Awards.
Both Maddux and Glavine relied
on pinpoint control to get the job done,
changing speed and location on their
pitches to keep hitters guessing.
Maddux won Cy Youngs from 1992-
95 (Randy Johnson is the only other
pitcher to win four straight), complet-
ing his impressive run with two remark-
able years. During the strike-shortened
1994 season, Maddux went 16-6 with a
career-best 1.56 ERA the cumulative
NL ERA was 4.21 and the next year
nished 19-2 with a 1.63 ERA.
Glavine was on the mound when the
Braves won Game 6 to clinch the 1995
World Series and give the city of At-
lanta its lone major sports title. The lefty
pitched one-hit ball over eight innings in
a 1-0 victory over Cleveland.
I competed against those guys. They
knew how to pitch, said Thomas, picked
on nearly 84 percent of ballots. They
were warriors.
Hall call: Thomas, Glavine and
Maddux enter baseball shrine

Cox, on Sunday. (AP Photo/Brian Kersey, File)

REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS
WASHINGTON (AP)
Average U.S. long-term mort-
gage rates were stable to slight-
ly higher this week, remaining
near their lows for the year.
Mortgage company Freddie
Mac says the nationwide aver-
age for a 30-year loan was 4.13
percent, unchanged from last
week. The average for the 15-
year mortgage, a popular choice
for people who are renancing,
edged up to 3.26 percent from
3.23 percent last week.
Mortgage rates are below
the levels of a year ago, hav-
ing fallen in recent weeks after
climbing last summer when the
Federal Reserve began talking
about reducing the monthly
bond purchases it was making
to keep long-term rates low.
Mortgage rate remain steady
WASHINGTON (AP) Sales of new U.S. homes plunged
in June, a sign that real estate continues to be a weak spot in
the economy.
New home sales fell 8.1 percent last month to a seasonally
adjusted annual rate of 406,000, the Commerce Department
said Thursday. The report also revised down the May sales rate
to 442,000 from 504,000.
Buying of new homes fell 20 percent in the Northeast, fol-
lowed by less extreme declines in the Midwest, South and
West. The modest sales caused the inventory of new homes on
the market to increase to 5.8 months, the highest since October
2011.
The median sales price was $273,500, up 5.3 percent over
the past 12 months.
Todays report underscores Federal Reserve Chair Janet
Yellens observation in testimony last week that housing sec-
tor data still are disappointing, said Dana Saporta, director
of economic research at the bank Credit Suisse.
Home sales had been improving through the middle of 2013,
only to stumble over the past 12 months due to a mix of rising
prices, higher mortgage rates and meager wage growth.
The pressures from mortgage rates have eased since the
start of 2014 and the pace of price increases have slowed. Still,
other indicators suggest that home-buying has stalled after re-
bounding from lows reached during the Great Recession.
The National Association of Realtors reported that sales of
existing homes increased 2.6 percent in June to a seasonally
adjusted annual rate of 5.04 million homes. It marked the rst
time that sales have been above the 5 million-mark since Oc-
tober.
Economists were encouraged by the second straight month-
ly gain in existing home sales, though those sales are still hov-
ering below the recent peak of 5.38 million sales hit last July.
Nasty winter storms weighed on sales of both existing and
new homes in late 2013 and early 2014, making it unlikely that
sales can match last years pace. Sales of existing homes are
expected to be below the 5.1 million homes bought last year
and the 5.5 million annual sales that would be consistent with
a healthy housing market.
Still, there are indications that sales could pick up.
Along with the arrival of spring, average mortgage rates
have dropped to 4.13 percent, from 4.53 percent at the begin-
ning of this year, according to Freddie Mac. The rate of price
gains has slowed as the inventory of homes for sale has im-
proved. But wage growth has barely kept pace with ination,
reducing how much income people have to spend and save for
down payments.

LONG BEACH, Calif. (AP)
Prosecutors were waiting
Friday for the results of a police
investigation into the killing of
a burglar by an 80-year-old Cal-
ifornia homeowner who says he
shot the woman in the back as
she ed his home and ran down
an alley, the district attorneys
ofce said.
Long Beach resident Tom
Greer, 80, told KNBC-TV that
the burglar had said she was
pregnant and asked Greer not to
re but he shot her twice in the
back anyway. An autopsy later
found that Andrea Miller, 28,
was not pregnant, said Ed Win-
ter, coroners spokesman.
Long Beach police are still
investigating, said Sarah Ar-
dalani, spokeswoman for the
Los Angeles County District
Attorneys Ofce. Its ongo-
ing and so were waiting at this
point.
Prosecutors led murder,
burglary, robbery and weapons-
related charges against 26-year-
old Gus Adams, a suspected
accomplice of Miller. He was
being held on bail of more than
$1 million.
A court appearance initially
set for Friday was rescheduled
for next month.
The murder charge is pos-
sible because Adams is accused
of participating in a felony that
led to a death, said Long Beach
police Chief Jim McDonnell.
McDonnell said the hom-
eowner came home around 9
p.m. Tuesday and surprised
Adams and Miller, who were
trying to break into a safe. They
assaulted him, breaking his col-
larbone, before he was able to
get a handgun, the chief said.
Police said he red shots in-
side and outside his house.
Under California law, hom-
eowners have a right to protect
themselves with deadly force
inside their homes and in the
immediate vicinity such as
a patio if they feel they are
in imminent danger of great
bodily injury or death, said
Lawrence Rosenthal, a former
federal prosecutor who teaches
law at Chapman University.

Follow your instincts to a
prosperous future. Plan a trip
or redevelop an old goal or
creative endeavor. People you
encounter will be glad to lend
you a helping hand on your
journey upward. You are at a
crossroads, and must prepare
for new beginnings.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) --
Variety is the spice of life. Get
involved in as many activities
and recreational pastimes as
you can. The new experiences
and friendships that result will
keep you stimulated.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.
22) -- Make sure you are
compatible with the other party
before forming a partnership.
Working methods, time
management and response
to pressure should all be
evaluated. Its better to be safe
than sorry.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
-- A loved one could use a little
nurturing. Be sensitive to the
feelings of others, and you will
gain respect and an ally who
will back you when needed.
Show compassion.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-
Nov. 22) -- You can smooth
out business relationships
by learning more about your
colleagues. Be friendly and
approachable, but keep your
personal details out of the
conversation. Instead, listen
and learn.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-
Dec. 21) -- Your popularity is
growing. Although you have set
a high standard, continue with
your self-improvement plans.
You will be admired for the
positive personal changes you
undertake.
CAPRICORN (Dec.
22-Jan. 19) -- An unsettling
confrontation can be expected.
Complete as much as possible
before someone challenges you
or goads you into an argument.
You can avoid trouble if you
keep a low profle.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
19) -- Some positive changes
are heading your way. An
old friend is likely to surface.
Reconnecting with a phone call
or email will remind you of the
good times you had together.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March
20) -- You need to take decisive
action regarding a situation that
youre currently facing. You
have everything you need, but
your dreams will not come true
until you have put your plans in
motion.
ARIES (March 21-April
19) -- Consider minor changes
to your home or lifestyle. Look
at your options before spending
a lot of money on something.
Once you have investigated the
possibilities, you will make an
ideal choice.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20) -- If you are looking to
move forward in your career,
fnd out everything you can
about your chosen feld. Social
media, libraries or even your
workplace will help you to
prepare your strategy.
GEMINI (May 21-June
20) -- Someone has been
singing your praises. You must
be ready to take action and
prove your worth. The window
of opportunity for positive
change will be small. Take the
plunge.
CANCER (June 21-July
22) -- Your creative juices
are fowing. Keep yourself
active mentally and physically,
and get the most out of your
day. Take on new challenges
and activities in order to feel
motivated.

DEAR ABBY: I am an
18-year-old high school senior
who is scared about whats
going to happen after gradua-
tion. For the past three years I
have known exactly where Ill
be and what I will be doing in
the general sense. Now that
I have one more year to go,
Im worried that I wont know
what to do or how to do it
when I graduate. I have talked
to counselors and my dad, but
they all say the same thing.
Do you have any advice?
UNEASY IN IDAHO
DEAR UNEASY: Sit down
someplace quiet and make a
list of what your interests and
talents are. If necessary, next
year visit the career coun-
seling department of your
nearest community college
or university and take some
aptitude tests. This will give
you an idea of what direc-
tion you may want to take in
deciding what you should do
next. Unlike in generations
past, people today sometimes
change careers several times
in their working lives, so dont
be afraid that youll be stuck
in some unpleasant rut for-
ever. The more you learn and
the more people you meet, the
greater your options will be,
so stop worrying.

DEAR ABBY: In 1972
when I was 12, my father
found out that I was gay, al-
though that wasnt the word he
used. After a severe beating
that landed me in the hospi-
tal, I realized that to survive
I was going to have to live
straight. Eventually I mar-
ried, and for almost 25 years I
was relatively happy. My wife
died of cancer ve years ago,
and now I need to move on.
Can someone my age enter
gay society? One thing I have
noticed is that it can be more
difcult for older gay men
than straight. Any suggestions
or should I just continue liv-
ing the lie? AT A CROSS-
ROADS IN MINNESOTA
DEAR AT A CROSS-
ROADS: The gay community
may be biased toward youth,
but that doesnt mean it is im-
possible to be a part of it. You
have served your time hid-
ing in the straight world. Con-
tact the nearest gay and lesbi-
an center (lgbtcenters.org) and
talk to someone there about
your chances of successfully
integrating. Im sure you will
be pleasantly surprised be-
cause most centers have pro-
grams for LGBT people of all
ages.

DEAR ABBY: Im a
30-year-old woman. I take
care of myself, exercise regu-
larly and have a healthy diet.
Im naturally VERY thin, and
the diet and exercise actu-
ally help me to gain and keep
weight on my otherwise skin-
ny frame. My issue is people
who seem to think my weight
is an OK topic of discussion,
light ridicule or even harsh
accusation (anorexia, buli-
mia, etc.). I am self-conscious
about my chicken legs and
having a bony butt. How can
I tell people that commenting
on my weight is rude without
creating an issue or causing
drama? WEIGHTY ISSUE
IN D.C.
DEAR WEIGHTY ISSUE:
Of course its rude, and the
comments youre receiving
may have in them an element
of jealousy. A nonconfronta-
tional way to handle it would
be to pleasantly assure these
concerned individuals that
your doctor has assured you
that you are ne. Then change
the subject.

Dear Heloise: I noticed that
recently you published hints
about ladder safety. They were
good, but youve omitted one
of the biggest dangers: ladder
contact with overhead (or any)
electric wires. A person could
die in a heartbeat if contact-
ing wires with a ladder. Most
people never look at the top
of their ladder while raising
it. Please, everyone, check the
area you are working in so you
do not become a needless sta-
tistic. Ken (retired re de-
partment), via email
Ken, you are absolutely
correct, and thanks for the re-
minder to all of us! Heloise

REMOVING MATS
Dear Heloise: I am a veter-
inarian. Regarding removing
hair mats from a pet (dog or
cat), use an electric hair trim-
mer, human or veterinary, or
a beard trimmer. One lacera-
tion or injury due to the use of
manual cutting instruments
(like scissors) that requires a
trip to your veterinarian will
likely pay for at least one elec-
tric trimmer. Dr. Mark in

coated Wheaten, agrees! She

MUG TREE
Dear Heloise: Our family
looks for ways to save a little
money and cut down on waste.
One thing we found was that
we were spending money on
paper cups to use in the bath-
room. We got a mug tree, and
each picked out a mug of our
choice. Now everyone has a
reusable mug, and they can
hang it up when done. The
mugs get washed in the dish-
washer once a week. Paula

Love it! Ive used a beauti-
ful coffee mug for years in my
bathroom. Its easy to hold on
to and does add a nice touch!

QUICK WIPE
Dear Heloise: While I was
painting the other day, I need-
ed a damp cloth to wipe a spot
off the oor. I grabbed a kitch-
en wipe, and it worked great!
The soap in the wipe cleaned
it very well. From now on, the
wipes go with me whenever
I paint. Val P., Colville,

SHOE-BOX SOLUTION
Dear Heloise: I keep the
shoes I dont wear often in
their boxes, stacked on a shelf
in my closet. It was a pain to
get the shoes down, especially
when the pair I wanted was on
the bottom. I cut one short side
off all the boxes. Now I can
see each pair and get the shoes
out of the box without having
to take them all down. A

LIMA The University of Northwestern Ohio is proud to
offer its rst Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) which is
free and open to the public. The course, titled Oil 101: Fact or
Friction, will begin on Sept. 22. It is a four-week course, en-
tirely online, and will be taught by Tom Grothous, dean of the
UNOH College of Applied Technologies, and known locally as
Mr. Wheels.
The course will be broken down into four weekly modules
that contain videos and discussion opportunities about engine
oil myths, engine oil weights & viscosities, engine oil brands &
types, and choosing the best oil for your vehicle. Those enrolled
in the course will start each week by watching an introductory
video, followed by an opportunity to discuss the topic with fel-
low learners. They will then watch a more in-depth video about
each topic. A self-check quiz at the end of each week will allow
enrollees to test their knowledge of each area of focus.
The public can now enroll in the course with the modules
opening on Sept. 22. The course content will remain available
until Nov. 3 to give learners more time to complete the course
if needed. Those who successfully complete the course will
receive a Certicate of Completion.
MOOCs are a relatively new technology used in distance
education to bring people of all ages together to learn about a
topic of similar interests. Since the course is free, there is no
cost barrier for people wanting to explore an online course to
see if college would be a good t for them. As a bonus, partici-
pants will learn about a topic they are interested in and be able
to communicate with the instructor and fellow learners.

On Sept. 8, we observe
National Grandparents Day.
If you have grandchildren,
they will hopefully mark this
occasion by sending a card,
making a call or, best of all,
paying a visit. But however
your grandchildren express
their feelings for you, you
undoubtedly have a very big
place in your heart for them.
In fact, you may well be
planning on including your
grandchildren in your estate
plan. If thats the case, youll
want to do the best you can
to preserve the size of your
estate without sacricing
the ability to enjoy life dur-
ing your retirement years.
Here are a few suggestions
to help you achieve this bal-
ancing act:
Expect market volatil-
ity and dont overreact.
If youve been investing for
a while, you know that vola-
tility in the nancial markets
is normal. In fact, its not un-
usual for the market to drop
10 percent, or even more, in
a year. Try not to overreact to
this type of volatility.
For example, dont im-
mediately sell investments
just because theyve had a
down year they may well
bounce back the next year,
especially if their fundamen-
tals are still strong.
Diversify. Its always
a good idea to diversify
across a range of investment
vehicles stocks, bonds,
government securities, cer-
ticates of deposit (CDs) and
so on. While diversication
cant guarantee a prot or
protect against loss, it can
help reduce the effects of
volatility on your portfolio.
Maintain a cash cushion.
During your retirement years,
you may face unexpected ex-
penses, just as you did when
you were working. To help
pay for these expenses without
being forced to dip into your
long-term investments, try
to maintain a cash cushion
thats sufcient to cover six to
12 months worth of living ex-
penses.
Limit withdrawals from
your investments. To keep
your investment portfolio
intact for as long as pos-
sible, set limits on your an-
nual withdrawals. Your with-
drawal rate should be based
on a variety of factors age
at retirement, other sources
of income, lifestyle choices,
etc. A nancial advisor can
help you calculate a with-
drawal rate that makes sense
for your situation.
Delay your generosity.
It can be tempting to pro-
vide for your grandchildren
and perhaps even your
grown children as soon
as you can. But you need to
balance this impulse with
the nancial challenges that
two or three decades of re-
tirement can bring. Its not
being selsh to take care
of yourself rst in fact,
by doing everything possible
to remain nancially inde-
pendent, you will be helping
your family in the long run.
Dont delay creating
your estate plan. If you are
committed to leaving a gen-
erous legacy for your grand-
children, you need a com-
prehensive estate plan. And
its best to create this plan
as soon as possible, while
you are mentally and physi-
cally healthy. You may never
become incapacitated, of
course, but the future is not
ours to see.
In addition to starting
early with your estate plan,
youll need to assemble the
right team, including your
nancial advisor, legal pro-
fessional and tax expert. You
might enjoy receiving atten-
tion on National Grandpar-
ents Day. But youll get even
greater pleasure out of know-
ing that youre maximizing
your efforts to leave the type
of legacy you want for your
grandchildren while still
enjoying the retirement life-
style you desire.

B8 Saturday, July 26 & Sunday, July 27, 2014 Times Bulletin/Delphos Herald
BY STEVE ROTHWELL
AP Markets Writer
A war breaks out between Israel and Hamas. An airliner
is shot out of the sky in Ukraine. A Portuguese banks -
nances look shaky.
And the U.S. stock markets response? After dipping
briey on the bad news, it climbs higher.
The markets resilience this year which has pushed
it to a series of records and extended its ve-year bull run
is driven by investors optimism over the growth of the
U.S. economy and record corporate earnings. That helped
the market overcome its latest dip, on July 17th, when a
passenger jet was shot down in eastern Ukraine and Is-
rael invaded the Gaza Strip, raising investor worries that
conicts around the world could escalate and destabilize
nancial markets.
As they have all year, investors responded by using it as
an opportunity to buy stocks. In fact, theyve bought on
the dip consistently for three years, keeping the markets
slips from becoming slides. Stock pullbacks since 2011 have
been rare and relatively small, and none have become severe
enough to qualify as a correction, Wall Street parlance for a
fall of 10 percent or more from a peak.
The lack of a correction for such a long period is unusual,
because the Standard & Poors 500 index experiences such a
decline on average every 18 months, according to S&P Capi-
tal IQ research.
Many investors say that the uninterrupted rally is justi-
ed by the outlook for stocks. Central banks worldwide have
policies in place aimed at stimulating economic growth, and
U.S. corporate prots continue to rise, even in the rst quar-
ter, when the economy contracted.
That has driven the S&P 500 up 7 percent this year, not
including reinvested dividends. Thats on top of a 30 percent
surge in 2013. The index closed Friday down 0.5 percent at
1,978.34, after closing at a record 1,987.98 a day earlier.
The fundamental underpinnings of this bull market re-
main very much intact, says Katie Nixon, chief investment
ofcer for wealth management at Northern Trust.
In the U.S., the Federal Reserve has held short-term inter-
est rates at close to zero for almost ve years, and has bought
$3 trillion of bonds to hold down long-term rates. The Fed
has been winding down its stimulus, but a rate increase isnt
expected until at least 2015.
STORY OF THE DAY
Tensions dont
dent enthusiasm
for stocks
KIEV, Ukraine (AP)
Russia is launching artillery
attacks from its soil on Ukrai-
nian troops and preparing
to move heavier weaponry
across the border, the U.S. and
Ukraine charged Friday in
what appeared to be an omi-
nous escalation of the crisis.
Russia accused Wash-
ington of lying and charged
Ukraine with ring across the
border on a Russian village. It
also toughened its economic
measures against Ukraine by
banning dairy imports.
Andriy Lysenko, a spokes-
man for Ukraines National
Security and Defense Coun-
cil, said ve salvos of heavy
rockets were red across
the border near the town of
Kolesnikov in the Luhansk
region in the countrys east.
A border crossing point near
Marynovka was red on twice
with mortars, also from the
Russian side, while Ukrainian
forces shot down three Rus-
sian drones, Lysenko said.
If true, the allegations
mean Moscow is playing a
more direct role in the ght-
ing than it has been accused of
up to now a dangerous turn
in what is already the gravest
crisis between Russia and the
West since the end of the Cold
War.
In addition, Col. Steve
Warren, a Pentagon spokes-
man, said that the U.S. has
seen powerful rocket systems
moving closer to the Ukraine
border and that they could
be put into the hands of the
Russian-backed separatists as
soon as Friday.
It wasnt clear what those
developments mean for the in-
ternational investigation into
the downing of Malaysia Air-
lines Flight 17. U.S. authori-
ties believe the separatists
shot it down with a missile,
perhaps in the mistaken belief
it was a military plane.

Senior militant
killed in Gaza
JERUSALEM (AP) Is-
raeli aircraft struck 30 houses
in the Gaza Strip early Friday,
killing a leader of the militant
Islamic Jihad group and two
of his sons, as Israels Security
Cabinet was to meet later in
the day to decide whether to
expand its operation or con-
sider ideas for a cease-re.
Israeli ground troops and
Hamas gunmen fought intense
battles in the north and center
of the territory, Palestinian of-
cials said.
The Israeli military said it
hit 45 sites in Gaza, includ-
ing what it said was a Hamas
military command post, while
Gaza militants continued to

CHICAGO (AP) Fast food
workers say theyre prepared to esca-
late their campaign for higher wages
and union representation, starting with
a national convention in suburban Chi-
cago where more than 1,000 workers
will discuss the future of the effort
that has spread to dozens of cities in
less than two years.
About 1,300 workers are scheduled
to attend sessions Friday and Satur-
day at an expo center in Villa Park,
Illinois, where theyll be asked to do
whatever it takes to win $15-an-hour
wages and a union, said Kendall Fells,
organizing director of the national ef-
fort and a representative of the Service
Employees International Union.
The union has been providing -
nancial and organizational support
to the fast-food protests that began in
late 2012 in New York City and have
included daylong strikes and a protest
outside this years McDonalds Corp.
shareholder meeting that resulted in
more than 130 arrests.
We want to talk about building
leadership, power and doing whatever
it takes depending on what city theyre
in and what the moment calls for, said
Fells, adding that the ramped-up ac-
tions will be more high prole and
could include everything from civil
disobedience to intensied efforts to
organize workers.
I personally think we need to get
more workers involved and shut these
businesses down until they listen to
us, perhaps even by occupying the
restaurants, said Cherri Delisline,
a 27-year-old single mother from
Charleston, South Carolina, who has
worked at McDonalds for 10 years
and makes $7.35 an hour.
Delisline said she and her four girls
live with her mother, but the family
still has difculty paying utilities and
the mortgage while providing for her
children. She said she has not been to
a doctor in two years and does not get
paid if she stays home sick.
To have a livable wage, its going to
need to be $15 an hour, said Delisline.
We make the owners enough money
that they have houses and cars and their
kids are taken care of. Why dont (they)
make sure I can be able to do the same
for my kids and my family?
The campaign comes as Presi-
dent Barack Obama and many other
Democrats across the country have at-
tempted to make a campaign issue out
of their call to increase the federal and
state minimum wages.

WASHINGTON (AP) More families with higher incomes
could claim the popular child tax credit under a bill that won ap-
proval Friday in the House. But in a dispute that divides Republi-
cans and Democrats, millions of the poorest low-income families
would still lose the credit in 2018, when enhancements champi-
oned by President Barack Obama are set to expire.
The bill would gradually boost the amount of the $1,000-per-
child tax credit by tying it to ination, so it would go up as con-
sumer prices rise. It also aims to make a dent in illegal immigra-
tion by prohibiting people without Social Security numbers from
claiming a portion of the credit reserved for low-income families.
With nearly all Republicans voting in favor and most Demo-
crats opposed, the bill cleared the House by a vote of 237-173. The
White House threatened to veto the bill, though the Democratic-
controlled Senate is unlikely to pass it.
About 37 million taxpayers claimed the credit in 2012, reduc-
ing their tax bills by nearly $57 billion.
House Republicans say the bill would strengthen the tax credit
by increasing it as ination rises, and by making it available to
even more middle-income families. It is time we make some sim-
ple improvements to the child tax credit, so it keeps up with the
cost of raising children, said Rep. Dave Camp R-Mich., chairman
of the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee.
The White House said the bill favors high-income taxpayers
over the poor, while adding $90 billion to the budget decit over
the next decade.
Five million of the poorest low-income families would lose the
credit in 2018, the White House said.
