DELPHOS Hours or
days? Most school districts
in Ohio are struggling with
this question when delays and
cancellations will determine
if teachers and students need
to make up time in the classroom.
Delphos City Schools
and the Delphos Education
Association met recently to
clarify the calamity days policies. Superintendent Kevin
Wolfe read a statement noting
that while students will be
allowed up to eight calamity days of hours or 52
hours before adding extra
days to the schedule, teachers, according to the Ohio
Revised Code, will only be
allowed up to five calamity
days. After five days have
been reached, teachers will
make up the required days at
the end of the current school
calendar.
With the state changing
the requirements for students
to hours and the teachers still
marking days, we just felt we
needed to put this out there
so everyone is on the same
page, Wolfe said.
Wolfe also noted a sizeable amount of funds recently
received by the district.

Senate passes
changes to state
weapons laws
COLUMBUS (AP) An
Ohio bill that relaxes some
requirements to obtain concealed carry permits cleared
the state Senate on Tuesday
after a legislative panel
scrapped other proposed
changes to the states weapons laws.
The gun measure also
would allow hunters to use
noise suppressors on their
guns under certain conditions.
The idea, which passed the
House earlier this year, would
let licensed hunters use the
noise suppressors while hunting certain birds and other
wild game, including squirrels, rabbits and white-tailed
deer.
Senators passed the broad
legislation on a 24-6 vote as
they sought to finish their
work this week.
Backers of the bill contend
that noise suppressors would
help protect hunters hearing,
while making field commands
easier to hear because hunters
would not have to shout.
Opponents have said quieter weapons are not as safe
and are easier to use illegally. Democratic Sens. Mike
Skindell and Nina Turner told
their colleagues they feared
that hunters would be emboldened to seek game closer to
residential areas.
The Senate Civil Justice
Committee amended the bill
earlier Tuesday to reduce the
training time to get a concealed weapons permit from
a minimum of 12 hours to
eight. Such training must
include two hours devoted to
range time and live-fire training. The legislation also provides that certain out-of-state
licenses will be recognized
and allows a person who isnt
an Ohio resident to get or
renew a concealed handgun
license if he or she works in
Ohio.

INFORMATION SUBMITTED
COLUMBUS - Community organizations, faith-based
groups and businesses are being asked to partner together
to encourage mentorship in Ohios schools and help give
more students access to role models who can help motivate and inspire them. The Ohio Department of Education
will begin accepting applications today for the states new
$10 million Community Connectors mentoring program.
Applications will be accepted through Feb. 20, 2015.
Community Connectors is one of the key education initiatives announced by Ohio Governor John R. Kasich at his
2014 State of the State address to support Ohios schools
by fostering increased student mentorship. There is little
doubt that an adults presence in a childs education brings
greater success in the classroom, said Dr. Richard A.
Ross, superintendent of public instruction. Our boys and
girls need an adult, a mentor they can trust, someone who
shows them compassion, who builds their self-esteem and
can keep them believing that the sky is the limit.
Nonprofit organizations from the faith-based and civic
communities are eligible to lead a project. They must team
up with a business and an eligible public school district (or
school within an eligible district) to establish a mentorship
program. Eligible school districts are those with a high
percentage of students in poverty and a high number of
students not graduating on time. All students within that
district, regardless of socioeconomic status, will be eligible
to participate in the program. Grant initiatives are to focus
on the following:
Setting Goals to be Prepared for 21st Century Careers;
Building Character;
Developing Pathways to Achievement;
Building Resiliency;
Believing in a Positive Future.
Those organizations and schools who partner in mentoring efforts can receive a maximum award of $500,000,
with the state matching three dollars for every dollar spent.
The state will hold several grant application seminars
across the state to help organizations understand the program and application process.
More information about the program can be found at
www.CommunityConnectors.Ohio.Gov.

Hey
Delphos Library readers!
Are you also writers?
In a world of selfies
and six-second Vine videos, its nice to know that
one of the oldest forms of
expression - writing - still
gets some recognition.
While there are lots of
contests for school-age
students, here are two with
a focus on writing:
Letters
About
Literature is a reading
and writing contest for
students in grades 4-12,
sponsored by the Library
of Congress. Students are
asked to read a book, poem
or speech and write to that
author (living or dead)
about how the book affected them personally. Letters
are judged on state and
national levels. Grade 9-12
need to have theirs turned
in by Monday. Elementary
and middle schoolers have
until Jan. 15. For more
information visit read.gov/
letters.
Another great writing contest is sponsored
by the website Teen Ink,
teenink.com. This fiction contest is wide open.
According to the site, If
it has a beginning, middle
and endif it has a welldeveloped plot and interesting charactersif takes
place in the past, present or futurethen submit
your story to Teen Inks
Fiction Contest. No deadline, but winning pieces
are published each June.

Library to start
coding club
INFORMATION
SUBMITTED
DELPHOS Every
student should have the
opportunity to learn computer science.
Its no secret that knowing your way around the
computer/tablet/mobile
device is becoming an
essential. And its probably not too surprising to
learn that future career
success will partly depend
on familiarity with computer science.
Thats one reason an
international non-profit
group started an ambitious
project last year called
Hour of Code.
The project is a grassroots effort to encourage
students in the field of
computer science and provide learning resources for
everyone online for free.
Its a challenge for students of all ages to learn
even just a little coding.
Last year, 20 million
students participated in an
Hour of Code program.
For 2014, the Hour of
Code takes place during
Computer Science and
Education Week this week.
Locally, the Delphos
Public Library hopes to
organize their own coding
club. Anyone grade 6-12
who is interested in adding
their name to the list can
e-mail Becky at hirnre@
oplin.org to be added to the
list. Additionally, adults
interested in helping teach
kids to code are encouraged to contact Becky.
More information about
the Hour of Code can be
found at code.org.

The
Spencerville girls basketball
team had shot the 3-pointer
well versus Elida for most of
the game Tuesday night.
However, when the Lady
Bearcats were going
for the game-winner
as time was expiring,
Lady Bulldog freshman Shyah Wheeler
swatted away the
effort to preserve a
62-60 non-league triumph on
the Union Bank Court of the
Elida Fieldhouse.
The visitors (1-2) led 46-41
entering the fourth period and
both teams started hot
each hitting their
first three shots as
the Bearcats still led
53-48 after Elidas
Hope Carter bombed a
trey at 6:40. Carter (16
markers, 3 assists, 3 steals)
hit a drive to the basket to
get within 53-50 fouling out Spencervilles Katie
Merriman (6 boards) at 5:48.
Jacey Grigsby (13 counters, 8
caroms) hit a trey and Caitlyn
Probst a deuce around two
Carter free throws for a 58-52
edge. However, foul trouble
started to get in the Bearcats
way and the Bulldogs began
to take advantage. They
canned 9-of-16 foul shots in
the finale (16-of-26 overall

at the deficit, despite Abby
Waddle (8 markers) fouling

markers in the finale) hit a

had the lead 59-58.
Bailee Kuhn (12 counters,
11 rebounds) and Brett Pauff

the hosts (at 59.6 and 44.6

the 3-minute Lady Bearcat

That was a big win; it was two

Both offenses struggled early because

followed by Lady Musketeer Louth nailing her fourth trey of the night. By then,
both coaches emptied their benches to
finish the game.
We got to play our entire team
tonight, Kleman said. The experience
is good as our young players are getting
smarter. Our defensive pressure is getting better but we are not quite where we
need to be yet.
Fort Jennings committed 15 turnovers against the trapping full-court
defense of Ottoville and the Big Green
turned the ball over just 10 times.
Ottoville held a slight advantage on
the boards grabbing 26 rebounds and
Fort Jennings grabbed 24.
The Lady Musketeers shot 43 percent
from the floor and only attempted a pair
of free throws for the game, missing both.
Ottovilles offense landed 35 shots in
the contest, including five 3-pointers, for
54 percent and made 6-of-10 freebies.
Musketeer coach Liebrecht was
pleased with her squads effort: Despite
getting blown out on the scoreboard,
I was happy with the girls intensity.
Ottoville is a great team and we didnt
back down and played hard. As long
as the girls display this desire to win-it
makes a job as coach easier because the
players want to improve and hopefully
get a win soon.
Fort Jennings (0-5) will try to get
its first win of the season next Tuesday

The Lady Cougars (2-2) had two players in double figures as Morrow had a game-high 15
points and Kohn contributed 11 points to Van Werts cause. St. Johns had three girls with
double-digit scoring as Hays scored 12 points and Geise and Fischbach each chipped in 10.
While the Jays were able to hit the bulk of there free throws in the final period, Van Wert
struggled from the line all evening long.
Five-for-17 from the line: that is pretty much the ball game right there, Cougar head coach
Lance Moonshower said following the contest. The girls gave good physical effort at times;
they came back from the deficit and got a lead but we are just not as mentally tough as I would
want. When we made a mistake, wed drop our heads. We need to get into the mindset that what
happened on the last play is done and we need to move on to the next play.
The Cougars open Western Buckeye League play on Thursday as they welcome St. Marys

Gas to average
$2.60 next year
Associated Press
The Energy Department
again slashed its prediction for
next years average price of
gasoline across the U.S., this
time to $2.60 a gallon. That
would be 23 percent below
this years projected average
and the lowest full-year average since 2009.
If that comes to pass, the
price drop will save U.S. drivers $100 billion over the course
of the year based on current
consumption levels. That will
boost the overall economy by
reducing shipping and transportation costs, and leaving
consumers more money to
spend on other things.
In its most recent
short-term
energy
outlook, released Tuesday, the
Energy Departments Energy
Information Administration
cut its gasoline price forecast
for 2015 by 35 cents a gallon.
It was the second time in two
months that the EIA cut the
forecast by more than 30 cents
a gallon.
The average national price
of gasoline to $2.66 a gallon on Tuesday according to
AAA, 61 cents less than last
year at this time. The national
average has fallen every day
since September 26.
The steep drop in gasoline
prices is a result of a drop
in crude oil supplies. Global
crude prices have fallen to
around $66 per barrel from a
June high of $115 per barrel.

er of two (with a deadbeat
husband), to live in a home
we own without paying rent.
There is still a mortgage on
that home. Can it be transferred
to her and placed in her name?
She cannot qualify for the
loan, but we want to give her
a sense of ownership. As a
side benefit, it might force her
to take over payments. Is this
legal? -- Reader
DEAR READER: There
is absolutely no reason for the
home to be transferred to her
and placed in her name. You
mentioned you want to give
her a sense of ownership. That
may very well be, but no one
is going to give her a mortgage for the very reasons you
outlined. Hoping that as a side
benefit it might force her to
take over payments is a pie-inthe-sky dream. All she has to
do is stop making the payments
and eventually the bank will
foreclose.
Whether you want your
daughter to continue to stay in
the house is up to you, but there
is no value in putting it in her
name, unless you pay off the
entire mortgage, which would
not be to your advantage.
DEAR BRUCE: I had my
first car repossessed last year. I
am 35 years old, recently lost
my job and couldnt afford the
payments of $400. How long
will this stay on my credit
report? -- Frank
DEAR
FRANK:
Unfortunately, there is no set
answer for this. The fact that
you had your car repossessed is
going to sit on your report for
some time.
The company that owns
that liability will probably sell
it to another company, and that
company in turn will try to collect. Because the second company paid less for your debt,
it can offer you a lower settlement payment and still come
out ahead.
As to how long this stays
on your credit report, that will
depend on the size of the debt.
If its relatively modest, it will
generally go away after a few
years.

Ask
Doctor K
DEAR DOCTOR K: Ive had four bouts
of bacterial sinusitis over the past several
months. How can I kick this infection for good?
DEAR READER: Sinusitis is inflammation
of the sinuses. Everyone has sinuses, and many
of us are not happy about that. Like you, my
sinuses frequently get inflamed. Sinuses are the
moist air spaces behind the eyes, forehead, nose
and cheeks, on each side of our head.
Why do we have sinuses? I dont think
anyone knows, and Im not sure theres a good
reason. They dont do anything good for us. All
they seem to do is cause trouble. In that respect,
theyre sort of like our appendix.
What irritates the sinuses and leads to
inflammation is most often a viral infection.
Sometimes its an allergic reaction to things
in the air we breathe or to certain foods.
Conditions that block the sinuses, such as
polyps in the nose or a badly deviated septum,
can do it. Cigarette smoke also is a common
irritant, even second-hand smoke. Sometimes
its swimming, particularly when there are
substances in the water (like chlorine) that
irritate the lining of the sinuses.
As you know, sinusitis causes pain and
pressure, congestion and postnasal drip.
Normally, the sinuses drain through small
openings into your nose. Anything that
obstructs that flow -- often a cold or allergies
-- can cause a buildup of mucus in the sinuses.
This warm, moist environment serves as an
ideal bacterial breeding ground. Bacteria that
normally live in your sinuses rapidly multiply,
causing an infection: bacterial sinusitis. That
adds pus to the mucus. Sputum, the stuff that
blows out of your nose or that you cough up
from the back of your throat, turns yellow,
brown or green. Also, bacterial sinusitis often
causes a fever.
Bacterial sinusitis is actually pretty unusual
and is over-diagnosed. Unfortunately, it is
hard for a doctor to be sure there is a bacterial
infection that requires antibiotic treatment.
Most doctors will treat with antibiotics if
someone has had the symptoms for 10 days
or more without improvement. Thats because
viral infections usually are improving by that
time.
Antibiotic treatment also is justified if
symptoms are severe and have persisted for
three days or more, or if a person has a high
fever (over 102 degrees).
A typical course of antibiotics, lasting 10 to
14 days, can usually treat a bacterial infection of
the sinuses. Your doctor can extend that course
up to six weeks if needed. But sometimes
antibiotics still fail to eliminate the infection,
or they provide only temporary relief before
symptoms return.
Bacterial sinusitis will return if you dont
reduce the conditions that irritated the sinuses
in the first place. So try:
-- Treating your allergies. If allergies could
be a factor, ask your doctor about more effective
allergy treatment.
-- Eliminating milk and/or wheat from your
diet. Allergic reactions to these foods can set
the stage for sinusitis.
-- Quitting smoking. Cigarette smoking
impairs the function of tiny hairs that sweep
mucus and debris out of your sinuses.
