St. Johns welcomes two new pastors
BY NANCY SPENCER
DHI Media Editor
nspencer@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS There are two new
faces in St. Johns Parish. Fathers
Ron Schock and Daniel Johnson are
filling associate pastor positions.
While the two men share the same
goals in their service, they couldnt
be more different.
Schock, 55, found his calling
under the wheels of a semi during a
sled pull at the county fair. He was 23
years old and was the flag man at the
pull at Seneca County Fairgrounds.
The driver was the first to go
so he could do a second pull if he
wanted. I asked if he would like to.
He said yes and I stepped around his
semi cab to let the judges know he
was going to go again and he didnt
see me. When he started forward, he
knocked me down. I felt his wheels
roll up my leg and back and his
bumper hit me in the back of the
head. They got his attention and he
stopped and thank goodness he pulled
the clutch because if he had hit the
brakes, he would have killed me.
During the accident, Schock said
his life passed before his eyes and he
didnt like what he saw.
I was self-centered, selfish and
very materialistic. I was arguing with
them in the ambulance to not cut my
boots off, he recalled. When I got
to the ER, all I saw was the bright
lights and heard the doctor say the
next 24 hours would be critical and
determine if I lived or died. That was
the turning point in my life. I got the
call to be selfless.
Once he recovered, Schock
became involved in the church by
teaching catechism. His aunt, a Tiffin
Franciscan nun, told him he better
figure out what his purpose was.
God is keeping you around for
some reason, she told him.
Schock entered the seminary at 29
and when he did his internship, all the
pieces fell into place.
I knew this was what God was
asking of me, he said. I am here
to share the love of Jesus Christ with
everyone I meet and bring people
closer to the Lord.

Van Wert County Commissioners Todd Wolfrum and Thad Lichtensteiger go over
the allegations concerning the county dog warden during Thursdays meeting.
(DHI Media/Ed Gebert)
Commissioners fire dog warden
BY ED GEBERT
DHI Median Editor
news@delphosherald.com
VAN WERT After
viewing and discussing
the results of an inves-
tigation by the Van
Wert County Sheriff s
Offi ce on Thursday
morning, the Van Wert
County Commissioners
announced the firing of
County Dog Warden Rich
Strunkenberg.
Commissioner Thad
Lichtensteiger listed the
following reasons for the
move: incompetency, inef-
ficiency, gross neglect of
duty, misfeasance, malfea-
sance, non-feasance, and
failure of good behavior for
the following four reasons:
1) failure to supply adequate
food and water to the dogs,
2) failure to adequately
clean the kennel and cage
area, 3) failure to secure
dead animals in the facility,
4) failure to supply adequate
care and attention to the
animals.
An i nvest i gat i on
into allegations against
Strunkenberg was initiated
by Van Wert County Sheriff
Tom Riggenbach after an
anonymous complaint
was received at the sher-
iffs office about a week
and a half ago. The alle-
gations were not released
last week, but Riggenbach
told the media that it con-
cerned poor conditions at
the animal shelter and that
conditions were not what
was acceptable to me, he
stated.
Riggenbach was placed
in charge of Strunkenberg
one year ago to provide
more oversight and to coor-
dinate response to animal
control calls. The sheriff
reported that Strunkenberg
had been doing a good job
in duties he observed, but
admitted he had not been
inside the kennel at the shel-
ter.
A disciplinary hearing
was held Tuesday and the
results of that hearing were
considered by the commis-
sioners along with a confer-
ence with Riggenbach, and
viewing various reports and
photographs of the interior
of the kennel.
The motion for the ter-
mination of Strunkenberg
passed on a 2-0 vote with
both Lichtensteiger and
Todd Wolfrum voting the
motion. Commissioner Stan
Owens is on vacation this
week but Lichtensteiger
noted that Owens had been
involved in the discussion
of the case and that he was
absolutely on board with
the termination, reported
Lichtensteiger.
With Strunkenberg ter-
minated from the position,
the commissioners are
planning to get together
with Riggenbaugh and the
Humane Society board in
about two weeks to discuss
the next steps for the posi-
tion.

Congress OKs VA,
highway bills, not
border measure
BY DAVID ESPO
Associated Press
WASHINGTON Congress ran full-tilt into election-year
gridlock over immigration Thursday and staggered toward a
five-week summer break after failing to agree on legislation to
cope with the influx of young immigrants flocking illegally to
the United States.
Faring far better, a bipartisan, $16 billion measure to clean
up after a scandal at the Department of Veterans Affairs and
a second bill to prevent a cutoff in highway funding gained
final passage in the Senate and were sent to President Barack
Obama for his signature.
With lawmakers eager to adjourn, legislation to send Israel
$225 million for its Iron Dome missile defense system was
blocked, at least initially, by Republican Sen. Tom Coburn of
Oklahoma.
Three months before midterm elections, the unbreakable
dispute over immigration exposed not only enduring disputes
between the parties, but also differences inside the ranks of
House Republicans and among Senate Democrats.
And a new outburst of harsh partisan rhetoric between lead-
ing officials in both parties served as yet another reminder that
after 18 months in office, the current Congress has little to show
for its efforts apart from abysmally low public approval ratings.
House Speaker John Boehner accused Democrats of pursu-
ing a nutso scheme of trying to seize on the border crisis to
try and grant a path to citizenship to millions of immigrants
living in the country illegally.
Countering, White House spokesman Josh Earnest said
blame for failing to fix problems at the border rested with
Republicans. He charged they have refused to provide the
necessary resources to deal with what they themselves describe
as a serious problem.
Despite Boehners accusation, it was Republican unity that
cracked first during the day.
A few hours after Boehner spoke, Republicans abruptly
canceled a vote on their own border security legislation, a $659
million measure that also would make it easier to deport the
children from Central America now flooding into the United
States. They did so after a revolt by tea party-aligned GOP
lawmakers, some of whom had conferred with Texas Sen. Ted
Cruz the night before.
They argued that the leaderships offer of a vote on a com-
panion bill, even if it were approved, would fall short of revers-
ing a 2012 administration policy under which 500,000 immi-
grants living in the country illegally have obtained work permits.
A short while later, a $2.7 billion Democratic alternative
to ease the crisis at the border perished in the Senate, blocked
by Republicans and two Democrats seeking the right to seek
changes.
So chaotic was the day that after initially announcing the
House had taken its last vote, Republicans abruptly reversed
course and announced plans to reconvene today for a possible
vote on legislation related to border security and immigration
details yet to be determined.

COLUMBUS Ohio State University's
fired marching band director was working to
fix a vulgar culture "in dire need of change"
before he was dismissed last week, he said in
a document released by his attorney.
The university fired Jonathan Waters last
week after a two-month investigation con-
cluded he knew about, but failed to stop, a
"sexualized culture" of rituals that included
students being pressured to
march in their underwear and
to perform sexually themed
stunts that yielded often-
explicit nicknames.
Waters' halftime shows
are considered revolutionary.
Videos of the morphing and
dancing images the band cre-
ates on the field have drawn
millions of hits on YouTube
and landed it in an Apple com-
mercial.
Waters detailed the chang-
es he was trying to make in
a seven-page document prepared when the
university began investigating allegations of
sexual harassment within the band. His attor-
ney released the document Wednesday night.
Waters said he instituted leadership retreats
for section leaders and staff; hosted a national
hazing-prevention event; ensured the band's
formal dance was alcohol-free; and disci-
plined students who were behind an under-
ground band newsletter, the "Trip-Tic," that
had grown increasingly vulgar.
In the document, Waters said that he rec-
ognized upon taking over the band 20 months
earlier that aspects of its culture were "ves-
tiges representing cultural norms from eras
gone by" and that culture needed to change.
He said the band staff had begun a process
of "concentrated pressure for real, lasting
change within the organization," under the
belief that "the best and most permanent
change occurs from within the organization."
Attorney David Axelrod said investigators
did not acknowledge the contents of the docu-
ment in their report, and the band alumni asso-
ciation has suggested Waters wasn't afforded
due process.
"You would think that if they wanted to be
fair, they would say he did do these things but
it wasn't enough," Axelrod said. "But that's
not what they did."
A university spokesman had no immedi-
ate comment on the document submitted by
Waters or its place in the investigation. The
report states it was received July 14, after
Waters was twice questioned by investigators.
"The document does not change the analy-
sis in this report," they wrote. Investigators
found Waters was aware about half of band
nicknames were offensive, was in charge
when a suggestive trick was per-
formed on a band bus, and was
allowing the underwear march to
proceed until he learned of the
investigation.
Waters' firing has touched off
a maelstrom for new Ohio State
President Michael Drake, who has
said the culture hostile to students
that was uncovered by investiga-
tors was demeaning and unac-
ceptable. He has enlisted former
Ohio Attorney General Betty
Montgomery to lead a task force
in a full review.
The band's alumni association says its own
ongoing review contradicts aspects of the uni-
versity's investigation.
"The honor and traditions of generations of
members and staff of the Ohio State University
Marching Band have been misrepresented,
insulted and dishonored by the release of
the unbalanced Investigation Report, together
with attachments long predating the term of
Mr. Waters as the director," the TBDBITL
Alumni Club Inc. said in a statement.
The group gets its name for the band's
nickname, "The Best Damn Band in the
Land."
Gary Leppla, the club's legal chair, said the
group feels the university rushed to judgment
and is calling for Waters' reinstatement.
"Let's use common sense. We want to get
it right. Is this guy the problem, or is he the
solution? We believe, based on our investiga-
tion, he's the solution," said Leppla, a band
alum and former Ohio State Bar Association
president.
Axelrod said Waters was traveling the coun-
try raising money from alumni for Ohio State
at the time of his firing. He made 25 appear-
ances in cities around the country, he said.

LOS ANGELES Repair crews on
Thursday were shoring up a giant hole in
the middle of Sunset Boulevard caused
by a ruptured pipe, as officials at the
water-logged University of California,
Los Angeles, continued to assess damage
from the 20 million gallons that inun-
dated the campus.
Workers were reinforcing the exca-
vated 56-by-41-foot crater and mak-
ing the site safe for crews, said Mike
Miller, district superintendent for the Los
Angeles Department of Water and Power.
Meanwhile, workers off-site were fash-
ioning new valves and a Y-joint con-
nector to replace the burst section of the
century-old steel line.
The Department of Water and Power
said work on the pipe itself was expected
to be completed late Friday or early
Saturday. Then work could begin on
repairing the famed boulevard, a heavily
traveled east-west thoroughfare, pushing
reopening well into the weekend.
"There's still just a lot of work to do
out here," Miller said. "We're still shoot-
ing to have this done, at least the repair to
the main by Friday."
UCLA officials said six facilities were
damaged in Tuesday's flooding and about
960 vehicles remained trapped in garag-
es, with many below water left behind by
the roiling flood.
Rich Mylin, associate director of
events and facilities, led a tour Wednesday
of affected areas for Department of Water
and Power workers in hard hats, and they
snapped photos and took notes.
The flooding sent water cascading
into the Pauley Pavilion, less than two
years after a $136 million renovation.
UCLA Vice Chancellor Kelly
Schmader said 8 to 10 inches of water
covered the basketball court, and it
showed signs of buckling. The floor
will be repaired or replaced as neces-
sary and will be ready by the start of
the basketball season this fall, Athletic
Director Dan Guerrero said.
On Wednesday evening, six men
helping to pump water from the
pavilion were treated for exposure
to carbon monoxide from a genera-
tor's exhaust, city fire spokeswoman
Katherine Main said. Two were taken
to a hospital in fair condition, and four
were treated at the scene.
Repairing burst Los Angeles main could take days

HONOLULU (AP) A white hearse pulled up to the
entrance of a downtown Honolulu cathedral Thursday, car-
rying the remains of a saint known for caring for exiled
leprosy patients in the 1880s.
A metal box containing the remains of St. Marianne
Cope was carried into the Cathedral Basilica of Our Lady
of Peace for what was a cross between a funeral Mass and
a homecoming ceremony.
She was 80 when she died of natural causes in 1918 at
the remote Kalaupapa peninsula on the island of Molokai,
where leprosy patients were exiled. Her remains were
exhumed from Kalaupapa in 2005 and taken to Syracuse,
New York, where her religious congregation is based.
Born Barbara Koob in Germany, she immigrated with
her family to Utica, New York, when she was a year old. In
1883, the nun accepted a mission to care for leprosy patients
in Hawaii.
She gained sainthood in 2012 after the Vatican authen-
ticated two miracles that were a result of her intercession.
Relocation from New York was necessary because the
buildings of the campus where her remains were housed
are no longer structurally sound, requiring the Sisters of St.
Francis of the Neumann Communities to move to another
part of Syracuse.
St. Francis sisters carried the box into the cathedral atop
a carrier made out of koa wood in the shape of a canoe.
It makes sense to keep her remains in Honolulu, as
opposed to Kalaupapa, which can be accessed only via
plane or mule, said Bishop Larry Silva of the Honolulu
diocese.
Hundreds packed into the cathedral, where people lined
up for a chance to kiss the box, wrapped in a Hawaiian
funerary cloth and draped with lei and a quilt bearing a
Hawaiian flag design.
"The mortal remains of this frail creature of God...have an
incredible spirit of their own, an aura that makes us want to
be near them, to be changed by the very odor of holiness that
emanates from them," Silva said in his homily. "We want to
touch the relics of this woman who dedicated herself to heal-
ing, so that we may be healed and may be healers."
The remains a full collection of her bones arrived
Sunday in a casket aboard a United Airlines flight from
Newark, New Jersey, said diocese spokesman Patrick
Downes.
After Thursday's Mass, diocese officials planned to
place the sealed zinc-coated metal box containing the bones
upright in a koa and glass cabinet in the cathedral. The dis-
play cabinet already contained her relic, a small box of bone
fragments a nun brought to Honolulu in 2011. The relic was
taken on a tour of the Hawaiian islands.
The diocese plans to build a chapel at the 170-year-old
cathedral where her remains will be entombed underground,
said Alika Cullen, cathedral general administrator.
Hundreds attend Mass for
saint's return to Hawaii

iRules by Janell Burley
Hofmann
As Janell Burley
Hofmann, mother of five,
wrapped her 13-year-olds
iPhone on Christmas Eve,
she was overwhelmed by
questions: Will my children
learn to sit and wonder with-
out Googling? Should I know
their passwords for online
accounts? Will they experi-
ence the value of personal
connection without technol-
ogy? To address her con-
cerns, she outlined boundar-
ies and expectations in a con-
tract for her son to sign upon
receiving his first cellphone.
When Hofmanns editor at
The Huffington Post posted
the contract, now known as
iRules, it resonated on a mas-
sive scale and went viral,
resulting in a tsunami of
media coverage and requests.
It quickly became apparent
that people across the country
were hungry for more.
In iRules, Hofmann pro-
vides families with the tools
they need to find a balance
between technology and
human interaction through
a philosophy she calls Slow
Tech Parenting. In the book,
she educates parents about
the online culture tweens and
teens enter the minute they
go online, exploring issues
like cyberbullying, friend
fail, and sexting, as well as
helping parents create their
own iRules contracts to fit
their families needs. As
funny and readable as it is
prescriptive, iRules will help
parents figure out when to
unplug and how to stay in
sync with the changing world
of technology, while teaching
their children self-respect,
integrity, and responsibility.
The Mockingbird Next
Door: Life with Harper Lee
by Marja Mills
To Kill a Mockingbird by
Harper Lee is one of the best
loved novels of the 20th cen-
tury. But for the last 50 years,
the novels celebrated author,
Harper Lee, has
said almost
nothing on
the record.
Journalists
h a v e
trekked to
her home-
town of
Monroeville,
A l a b a m a ,
where Harper
Lee, known
to her friends
as Nelle, has
lived with her
sister, Alice, for decades, try-
ing and failing to get an inter-
view with the author. But in
2001, the Lee sisters opened
their door to Chicago Tribune
journalist Marja Mills. It
was the beginning of a long
conversationand a great
friendship. In 2004, with the
Lees blessing, Mills moved
into the house next door to
the sisters. She spent the
next 18 months there, shar-
ing coffee at McDonalds and
trips to the laundromat with
Nelle, feeding the ducks and
going out for catfish supper
with the sisters and explor-
ing all over lower Alabama
with the Lees inner circle
of friends. Nelle shared her
love of history, literature,
and the Southern way of life
with Mills, as well as her
keen sense of how journalism
should be practiced. As the
sisters decided to let Mills
tell their story, Nelle helped
make sure she was getting
the storyand the South
right. Alice, the keeper of the
Lee family history, shared the
stories of their family. The
Mockingbird Next Door is
the story of Millss friendship
with the Lee sisters. It is a
testament to the great intelli-
gence, sharp wit, and tremen-
dous storytelling power of
these two women, especially
that of Nelle. Mills was given
a rare opportunity to know

T h e
Care and
Management
of Lies: A
Novel of the
Great War by
J a c q u e l i n e
Winspears
By July
1914, the ties
between Kezia
M a r c h a n t
and Thea
Brissenden,
f r i e n d s
since girlhood,
have become strained by
Theas passionate embrace
of womens suffrage and
by the imminent marriage
of Kezia to Theas brother,
Tom, who runs the family
farm. When Kezia and Tom
wed just a month before war
is declared between Britain
and Germany, Theas gift to
Kezia is a book on household
management a veiled criti-
cism of the brides prosaic
life to come. Yet when Tom
enlists to fight for his country
and Thea is drawn reluctantly
onto the battle-
field, the farm
becomes Kezias
r es pons i bi l i t y.
Each must find a
way to endure the
ensuing cataclysm
and turmoil.
As Tom march-
es to the front lines,
and Kezia battles
to keep her ordered
life from unravel-
ing, they hide their despair in
letters and cards filled with
stories woven to bring com-
fort. Even Toms fellow sol-
diers in the trenches enter
and find solace in the dream
world of Kezias mouth-
watering, albeit imaginary
meals. But will well-intended
lies and self-deception be of
use when they come face to
face with the enemy?
The Silkworm by Robert
Galbreith
When novelist Owen
Quine goes missing, his wife
calls in private detective
Cormoran Strike. At first,
Mrs. Quine just thinks her
husband has gone off by him-
self for a few days as he
has done before and she
wants Strike to find him and
bring him home.
But as Strike investi-
gates, it becomes clear that
there is more to
Quines disap-
pearance than
his wife realizes.
The novelist has
just completed a
manuscript fea-
turing poison-
ous pen-por-
traits of almost
everyone he
knows. If the
novel were to
be published,
it would ruin
lives meaning that there
are a lot of people who might
want him silenced.
When Quine is found bru-
tally murdered under bizarre
circumstances, it becomes a
race against time to under-
stand the motivation of a
ruthless killer, a killer unlike
any Strike has encountered
before... A compulsively
readable crime novel with
twists at every turn, The
Silkworm is the second in the
highly acclaimed series fea-
turing Cormoran Strike and
his determined young assis-
tant, Robin Ellacott.
Young Adult
Boys Like You by Juliana
Stone
Summers not over yet.
The book jacket of Boys Like
You promises Two broken
souls...one hot summer. In
the Louisiana heat, the char-
acters Monroe and Nate, take
the reader though complex
emotions that go beyond fall-
ing in love. Monroe is spend-
ing the summer with her
grandma after an event that
rips her family apart. Nate is
struggling with the fact that
he caused the accident that
put his best friend in a coma.
In this emotional read, the
two teens are carrying secrets
that are only revealed as they
open up to one another. In
her first young adult novel,
author Juliana Stone com-
bines real issues and first-
love. She is a seasoned author
in paranormal and contempo-
rary romance.
The Art of Secrets by
James Klise
Imagine losing every-
thing in a suspicious fire that
burns down the apartment
where your family lives.
Then, somehow, through the
outpouring of community
support, you become very
popular. Think: exploding
Facebook page.
This is the start
of Saba Khans
story in The
Art of Secrets.
Later in the
story, when a
$100,000 paint-
ing is donated
anonymously
to a fundraiser
for her family,
everyone gets
super suspi-
cious. Many wonder where
the painting came from and if
the money should really go to
the family.
Author James Klise tells
the story in an interesting
mix of text messages, con-
versations, and notes passed
between students and news
reports. For fans of teen mys-
tery, this story gives readers
a puzzle to solve and chal-
lenges their values on friend-
ship, class, and race, all at the
same time.

Rex
Chu is an ador-
able panda with one
thing he does best:
a VERY LOUD
sneeze. But tomor-
row is the first day
of school and he has all the
usual questions about its
beginning: what will we do
at school?, will the teach-

kids like me? The teacher
asks the children to introduce
themselves and tell one thing
that they are good at. When it
is Chus turn, he doesnt just

he shows them!

Stubby the War Dog,
The Story of World War
Is Bravest Dog by Ann
Bausum
Stubby was more than a
dog: he was a scout, a mas-
cot, and able to warn his fel-
low soldiers about the pres-
ence of gas. He was a true
hero. Robert Conroy volun-
teered to fight in World War I
and while he was in training
in Connecticut, he adopted
a stray dog, smuggled him
aboard ship to France and
with his COs permission
took Stubby to the wars
front lines. Stubbys illustri-
ous career included being
wounded and recovering in
an Army hos-
pital, helping
to capture
a German
soldier and
s h a k i n g
hands with
P r e s i d e n t
Wilson on the
battle field.

Feed the
Boy by Irene
Latham
Whit has
literally grown up in a zoo.
His mom and dad work for
the Meadowbrook Zoo and
sometimes it seems to Whit
that the exotic animals are
more important than he. Then
he befriends the Bird Girl,
who comes to the zoo fre-
quently to sketch the birds. It
turns out that Stella is there
to escape a chaotic home life
and she eventually asks Whit
to do a dangerous favor. Whit
wants to help his friend but
is what she asks truly being
a friend?
Zane and the Hurricane,
A Story of Katrina by
Rodman Philbrick
Zane and his family have
traveled to New Orleans
at the worst possible time:
Hurricane Katrina. Not only
that, but Zane is separated
from his family and has only
his dog Bandit to comfort
him. Near the end of the
storm and during the mon-
umental flood that ensued,
he and Bandy were rescued
from an attic by a kind, elder-
ly man in a boat. What he
sees and experiences after
that would try any adults
ability to cope: cowardice,
cruelty, generosity, greed,
tragedy and tears.
Library adds new DVDs, CDs, audio books, books
Latta proposes two
bills for heroes
INFORMATION SUBMITTED
WASHINGTON, D.C. Congressman Bob Latta (R-OH) on
Thursday introduced two pieces of legislation to support our nations
heroes. The Veterans Air Travel Streamlining Act would enable veter-
ans with a service-connected disability rating of 50 percent or greater
to utilize TSA Prechecks expedited airport screening process at no
cost. The VA Appeals Backlog Relief Act would expedite the pro-
cessing of U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) appeals claims.
The Veterans Air Travel Streamlining Act would provide
an opportunity for us to show our gratitude to the men and
women who have so bravely and selflessly served this coun-
try, said Latta. Allowing our wounded heroes to participate
in TSAs Precheck program free of charge would enable these
veterans to bypass certain screening procedures that can be
time consuming given their injuries, while maintaining neces-
sary security procedures in our airports.

Be Happy at Work
We all know that work can sometimes be mind-numbingly boring, difficult to the
point of frustration, and stifling to the soul. But, it can also be exciting, provide a sense
of accomplishment, and allow us to serve God by serving our fellow man. So, how do we
ensure that we have more of the latter and less of the former? There is consider-
able evidence that what makes workers happy is a sense of agency, the sense that they are
effective at what they are doing and that it is worthwhile work. What this really boils down
to is doing something that you are good at. So, if you're in a job or career that you don't
feel particularly suited to, you're probably not feeling great about your work. In that case,
you should probably either retrain for a different job or work on the skills that will make
you more effective in your current job. God has given all of us specific talents, and if we
can incorporate those into our work we are bound to be happier and more effective. But,
even if you aren't particularly good at what you do or happy where you work, do your best
to put on a happy face each day at work. Sometimes happiness at work, like happiness
in life, is just a choice that we make.
- Christopher Simon
Work hard and cheerfully at whatever you do, as though you were working for
the Lord rather than for people.
Colossians 3:23

Trivia
(Continued from page 3)
Injured veterans must
currently contact TSA with
their confirmed flight itin-
erary and all other relevant
information to be eligible
for TSA Precheck lanes and
other expedited screening
procedures at airports. The
Veterans Air Travel
Streamlining Act
would waive the
TSA Precheck appli-
cation fee for veter-
ans, who meet dis-
ability and program
eligibility require-
ments, so they can
participate in this
expedited airport
security screening
process every time
they fly.
In addition, the VA
Appeals Backlog Relief Act
would address the unaccept-
able and overwhelming VA
appeals backlog by placing
a 12-month deadline for all
appeals claims to be certified
by and sent to the Board of
Veterans Appeals. Currently,
when an initial VA claim
is denied, a veteran has the
choice to appeal the decision.
However, in order to do this,
he or she must enter into a
lengthy and inefficient pro-
cess, which has forced many
veterans to wait years before
receiving a final decision.
The deadline imposed by the
Congressmans legislation
would ensure timelier pro-
cessing of veterans appeals.
Our veterans deserve the
utmost care and service,
continued Latta.
The VA has been
plagued with unac-
ceptable wait times
and lengthy delays,
and this legislation
would streamline
the process through
which veterans can
appeal their claims,
so they can receive
the benefits theyve
earned.
Both pieces of
legislation come
after the U.S. House of
Representatives yesterday
approved the Conference
Report to Accompany H.R.
3230, bipartisan legislation
that would provide real solu-
tions for our veterans and
hold the U.S. Department
of Veterans Affairs account-
able to all Americans. The
U.S. Senate is also expected
to approve the Conference
Report soon.

NEW YORK U.S.
health officials on Thursday
warned Americans not to trav-
el to the three West African
countries hit by an outbreak
of Ebola.
The travel advisory applies
to nonessential travel to
Guinea, Liberia and Sierra
Leone, where the deadly dis-
ease has killed more than 700
people this year.
"The bottom line is Ebola
is worsening in West Africa,"
said Dr. Tom Frieden, direc-
tor of the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention, who
announced the travel warning.
He called Ebola "a tragic,
dreadful and merciless virus."
The purpose of the travel
warning is to not only protect
U.S. travelers, but limit their
use of overburdened clinics
and hospitals for injuries or
other illnesses, he said.
Also Thursday, the White
House said it is looking into
options for bringing back two
American aid workers sick
with Ebola in Liberia. It would
be the first time the disease was
brought into the country.
For more than a month,
CDC has advised travelers
to simply take precautions
when in the outbreak region.
Thursday's alert is the high-
est-level. The World Health
Organization, however, has not
issued a similar travel warn-
ing for the West Africa region.
The last time the CDC issued
a high-level warning was in
2003 because of a SARS out-
break in Asia.
The current outbreak is the
largest since the disease first
emerged in Africa nearly 40
years ago. The virus is conta-
gious and is spread by direct
contact with blood or bodily
fluids from a sick person. Ebola
can't be spread like flu through
casual contact or breathing in
the same air.
Experts estimate that in this
outbreak, about 60 percent of
the people who have gotten
sick with Ebola have died a
frightening fatality rate that is
among the highest of any dis-
ease. There is no vaccine and
no specific treatment for it.
The two American aid work-
ers in Liberia diagnosed with
Ebola are Dr. Kent Brantly and
Nancy Writebol, who work for
North Carolina-based groups.
Writebol was getting an experi-
mental treatment, the mission
groups said Thursday.
"I remain hopeful and
believing that Kent will be
healed from this dreadful dis-
ease," Brantly's wife, Amber,
said in a statement released by
the aid group he works with,
Samaritan's Purse. She and the
couple's two young children
left Liberia for Texas before
her husband was infected, and
she said they are fine.
Late Thursday afternoon,
officials at Atlanta's Emory
University Hospital said they
expected one of the Americans
to be transferred there "within
the next several days." The
hospital declined to identify
which aid worker, citing pri-
vacy laws.
The hospital, which is near
the CDC's main campus, has
a special isolation unit built in
collaboration with the CDC. It
is one of only four facilities of
its kind in the United States.
At the White House, press
secretary Josh Earnest said that
while the U.S. government
would facilitate any transfer
to the U.S., private companies
would be used to transport
them.
The CDC has about two
dozen staffers in West Africa
to help try to control the out-
break. Frieden on Thursday
said the CDC will send 50
more in the next month. CDC
workers in Africa also are
helping at airports to help
screen passengers, he said.
The CDC has said that
the risk of a traveler bring-
ing the Ebola virus to the
United States remains small.
On Monday, the agency sent
a health alert to U.S. doc-
tors, updating them about the
outbreak. The alert stressed
they should ask about foreign
travel in patients who come
down with Ebola-like symp-
toms, including fever, head-
ache, vomiting and diarrhea.

JERUSALEM Israel and Hamas
have agreed to a 72-hour humanitar-
ian cease-fire to begin Friday morning,
the United Nations and United States
announced, although Secretary of State
John Kerry cautioned there were "no
guarantees" the lull in violence would
bring an end to the 24-day-old Gaza war.
The surprise announcement came
hours after Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to destroy
Hamas' tunnel network "with or without
a cease-fire" and as the Palestinian death
toll soared past 1,400.
Noting the difficulties that lay ahead,
Kerry said: "This is not a time for congrat-
ulations or joy or anything except a serious
determination a focus by everybody to
try to figure out the road ahead."
"This is a respite. It is a moment of
opportunity, not an end."
At least four short humanitarian
cease-fires have been announced since
the conflict began, but each has been
broken within a few hours by renewed
fighting.
A joint statement released simultane-
ously by Kerry and at U.N. headquarters
in New York said the U.S. and U.N. had
gotten assurances that all parties to the
conflict had agreed to an unconditional
cease-fire, and would send delegations
to Cairo for negotiations aimed at reach-
ing a lasting truce.
Soon after, an official at the prime
minister's office confirmed that Israel
had agreed to a 72-hour truce begin-
ning at 8 a.m. local time Friday. Hamas
spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said the
Islamic militant group also had signed
on, "as long as the other party is in
agreement to it."
Israeli and Palestinian delegations
were expected to travel immediately to
Cairo for talks with the Egyptian gov-
ernment aimed at reaching an end to the
conflict.
"It is up to the parties all of them
to take advantage of this moment,"
Kerry said. "There are no guarantees.
This is a difficult, complicated issue."
During the cease-fire, Kerry said
Israel will be able to continue its
defense operations to destroy tunnels
that are behind its territorial lines. The
Palestinians will be able to receive food,
medicine and humanitarian assistance,
bury their dead, treat the wounded and
travel to their homes. The time also will
be used to make repairs to water and
energy systems.
"We hope this moment can be
grabbed by both parties, but no one can
force them to do that," Kerry said.
"Israel has to live without terror and
tunnels and rockets and sirens going on
through the day," he said. "Palestinians
have to be able to live freely and share
in the rest of the world and live a life
that is different from the one they have
long suffered."
The Palestinian delegation is expect-
ed to include members of Hamas, which
the United States and Israel consid-
er a terrorist organization and cannot
be negotiated with directly. So if the
Israelis and Palestinians meet face to
face, the Hamas members will not par-
ticipate in those talks.
The Egyptians will be the go-between
for the sides and will help coordinate, a
senior State Department official said,
speaking on condition of anonymity
because the official wasn't allowed to
discuss the issue publicly.
U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric
said the cease-fire was the result of
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon's recent
trip to the region "but also 48 hours of
extremely active diplomacy at all levels
from the secretary-general to his senior
advisers talking to key regional players."

KAOHSIUNG, Taiwan At least 24 people were killed
and 271 others injured when several underground gas explo-
sions ripped through Taiwan's second-largest city overnight,
hurling concrete through the air and blasting long trenches in
the streets, authorities said Friday.
The series of explosions about midnight Thursday and
early Friday struck a district where several petrochemical
companies operate pipelines alongside the sewer system in
Kaohsiung, a southwestern port with 2.8 million people.
The fires were believed caused by a leak of propene, a pet-
rochemical material not intended for public use, but the source
of the gas was not immediately clear, officials said.
Video from the TVBS broadcaster showed residents search-
ing for victims in shattered storefronts and rescuers pulling
injured people from the rubble of a road and placing them on
stretchers while passersby helped other victims on a sidewalk.
Broadcaster ETTV showed rows of large fires sending smoke
into the night sky.
Four firefighters were among the 24 dead and 271 people
were injured, the National Fire Agency said. The firefight-
ers had been at the scene investigating reports of a gas leak
when the explosions occurred, Taiwan's Central News Agency
reported.
At least five blasts shook the city, Taiwan's Premier Jiang
Yi-huah said.
Chang Jia-juch, the director of the Central Disaster
Emergency Operation Center, said the leaking gas was most
likely to be propene, meaning that the resulting fires could not
be extinguished by water. He said emergency workers would
have to wait until the gas is burnt away.
The source of the leak was unknown. Chang said, however,
that propene was not for public use, and that it was a petro-
chemical material.
Kaohsiung Mayor Chen Chu said several petrochemical
companies have pipelines built along the sewage system in
Chian-Chen district, which has both factories and residential
buildings.
"Our priority is to save people now. We ask citizens living
along the pipelines to evacuate," Chen told TVBS television.
Power was cut off in the area, making it difficult for fire-
fighters to search for others who might be buried in rubble.

Schock wasnt alone in his intern-
ship, Fathers Melvin Verhoff, Jacob
Gordon and Chris Vasko were there as
well. After stepping down from pastor
for health reasons, Schock was happy to
take the associate position in a place he
had heard so much about.
They all told me good things happen
here in Delphos, he said. I was excited
to come here and find out for myself.
Delphos calls itself the Friendliest City
and thats what Ive experienced so far.
Its truly been a blessing.
Johnson, 44, is from Kerala, India, a
southern state on the Malabar Coast. He
grew up going to government schools
and his role models were the local parish
priests at Sun Marys Catholic Church in
Seethathodu, who guided his journey in
the church.
He has been at St. Johns a little more
than a month.
I believe through my preaching and
in the future by serving the people here
through the sacraments and teachings,
I can bring people to God, he said.
Thats what I want.
Still on his path to becoming a priest,
Johnson is learning as much about
America as he can.
Im still experiencing the culture
shock, Johnson said. You see things in
the media and then you get here and its
really nothing like that.
While Johnson is fluent in English,
he said he still has to pay attention when
people are speaking.
Its the slang that gives me trouble,
he said. It is like being in my country.
We have 21 languages and many dia-
lects. It can be confusing.
Johnson would like to experience
everything he can.
I want to study more about the tra-
ditions here, he said. St. Johns is a
beautiful church and the people are so
loving and kind. They have beautiful
traditions here.
His thirst for knowledge of the U.S.
began when he was a school boy, study-
ing history and reading about how
America is the champion of democracy
in the world.
The world looks up to the U.S.
to have an answer for everything, he
said. They set the economy and lead in
modern mechanization. Everyone works
hard and you can have anything here.
I want to experience as much as I can.
There are so many aspects of America
I want to explore the culture, the
language, the style of life. Even the food
is interesting, even though a little less
spicy than Im used to.

We will talk about how we move forward from here
and how we might restructure this position so it serves
the needs and regains the trust of the community, said
Lichtensteiger. We can talk about how there is going to
be some safeguards and checks and balances, how we are
going to integrate the use of volunteers to make it a better
working shelter.
One component to be discussed will be the use of volun-
teers. Complaints were made that persons had volunteered
at the shelter in the past but recently those people were not
allowed to assist.
We certainly encourage volunteerism and want that to
be enabled in the future, noted Wolfrum. We didnt know
that opportunities had been denied in the past.

Asked what would change overnight,
Rep. Spencer Bachus of Alabama said of
fellow Republicans: Im hoping some
people will grow up.
Whatever the eventual outcome in
the House, there was no talk of any
compromise with the Senate before law-
makers left town, Thursday night for the
Senate and Friday for the House.
The prospect of a deadlock produced
a blast from Texas Gov. Rick Perry, a
potential 2016 Republican presidential
candidate who last week announced he
was dispatching National Guard troops
to the border.
Congress should not go into recess
until the job is completed, he said.
The veterans bill cleared the Senate
on a vote of 91-3, one day after the
House passed it by 420-5. It was a
response to the extremely long delays
that some veterans experienced while
waiting for care, as well as a cover-up
by some agency officials.
Most of the money will be used to let
veterans seek care from outside physi-
cians if they live more than 40 miles
from a VA facility or face a long wait
to see a doctor at one. The legislation
also would allow the hiring of additional
physicians for the VA and permit the fir-
ing of senior executives guilty of poor
performance.
The bill marked a traditional com-
promise between the parties and the
houses of the sort that lawmakers have
struck for generations. Democrats gave
up their insistence on more funding, and
Republicans agreed to let deficits rise by
$10 billion as part of the agreement rath-
er than seek offsetting cuts elsewhere.
More urgent was the bill to prevent a
reduction in federal highway construc-
tion funding at the height of the summer
construction season.
The Transportation Department set
Friday as the date the Highway Trust
Fund will no longer be able to provide
all the aid promised, and estimated that
states could expect an average reduction
of 28 percent unless Congress acted by
then.
The two houses have played legisla-
tive ping pong with the issue in recent
days. But with time running out, the
Senate voted 81-13 to pass a House-
approved measure making $10.8 billion
available, enough to last until next May.
Legislation providing money for Iron
Dome, the Israeli missile defense sys-
tem, had yet to be made public late
in the day. Instead, the funding was
tucked inside a border security bill that
was drafted by Senate Democrats and
opposed by Republicans.
Officials said they expected that the
Israeli money eventually would be bro-
ken out, and that if the Senate approved
it, the House would agree.
But first, there was bickering aplenty
over immigration, an issue that has
divided Congress for years.
Said Senate Republican Leader
Mitch McConnell of Kentucky: It bog-
gles the mind that the president of the
United States would rather fundraise
in Hollywood than ... to do something
to prevent more young people from
making the perilous and potentially life-
threatening journey across the desert.
Rep. Nancy Pelosi, the House
Democratic leader, was no more chari-
table about House Republicans. She
said their approach would intensify the
harm for children.
Administration officials have sig-
naled that Obama intends to use an
executive order to expand the program,
which the president unveiled in the heat
of his presidential re-election campaign
in 2012.
If he does, Boehner said, hell be
sealing the deal on his legacy of law-
lessness.
Congress
