SPENCERVILLE - During the Monday night village council meeting, council member Michael Bice told Chief Darin
Cook he had been notified by a few village residents that they
have been targeted by phishing scams via phone recently.
A person with an oriental accent claims to be from the IRS
and tells them they owe money, Bice said.
Call the police department with a report as soon as possible. Anyone getting these types of calls should try to get
a return phone number, call us and we will call them back,
Cook said. The IRS does not work that way. First of all, they
never call nor do they ask for money or money orders and they
do not make threats.
Councilman John Miller led the meeting in Mayor P.J.
Johnsons absence.
Council members passed on third reading an ordinance
amending and adopting fees for the village fee schedule.
Members also suspended the rules and passed on first reading a resolution supporting the Lima Allen County Regional
Planning Commission (LACRPC) as a planning organization
for Allen County.
Village Clerk Dawn Bailey said the planning commission
resolution is done each year.
Council members unanimously elected Miller as presidentpro-tempore.
Appointments of the 2015 Committees will be tabled since
Mayor Johnson is not here, Miller said.
Cook reported that officer Kyle Miller will be the new range
officer (firearms instructor) for the department and will attend
a two-week training in London at a cost of $1,300.
We supply the weapons and they supply the ammunition,
Cook said. Officer Miller will take his service weapon and a
shotgun with him.
As reported at the Dec. 22 council meeting, Village
Administrator Sean Chapman informed council members a
cracked membrane housing - discovered in September after
the plant went online - would need to be replaced at the water
treatment plant (WTP) after the first of the year.

GOP takes charge
WASHINGTON (AP) In a blend of pageantry

and politics, Republicans took complete control of
Congress for the first time in eight years Tuesday, then
ran straight into a White House veto threat against
their top-priority legislation to build the Keystone XL
oil pipeline.
Republicans condemned the unexpected announcement, which came at the same time they were savoring
the fruits of last falls elections and speaking brightly
about possible bipartisan compromises in the two years
ahead.
Im really optimistic about what we can accomplish, said Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell, moments
after he was recognized as leader of the new Republican
majority on one side of the Capitol.
At the other end of the majestic building, Rep. John
Boehner of Ohio easily won a third term as House
speaker despite attempts by tea party-backed dissidents to topple him. He said the 114th Congress would
begin by passing legislation to develop more North
American energy among top priorities, adding We
invite the president to support and sign these bipartisan
initiatives into law.

INFORMATION SUBMITTED
COLUMBUS (AP)
With snow and bitter
cold forecast for much
of the state this week,
the Ohio Department of
Aging is urging older
adults to take safety
precautions.
Department director Bonnie Burman
says older people are
at increased risk for
reasons, including that
they can lose body heat
more quickly and could
be taking medications
that affect the bodys
ability to regulate its
temperature.
Planning includes
having an emergency
kit, a backup supply
of medications, and
spare batteries or other
options for medical
equipment in case of
power failure. Officials
also advise carrying a
cellphone and being
extra careful in icy and
snowy conditions to
avoid falls.
The department also
encourages all Ohioans
to check on older relatives and neighbors
during extreme weather
conditions.
COLUMBUS Eight people were killed on Ohios

roadways during the 2015 New Years holiday, a fiveday reporting period beginning at midnight Dec. 31 and
ending at 11:59 p.m. Sunday.
This is a decrease from 2013, the most recent comparable reporting period of five-days, in which 12 people
were killed.
During this years reporting period, troopers arrested
365 drivers for impaired driving. In addition, troopers cited 479 people with aggressive driving, arrested
183 motorists for drug-related offenses, and cited 982
people for safety belt violations.
For a complete statistical recap of the Patrols

The public is encouraged to continue using #677 to
report dangerous or impaired drivers, as well as drug
activity.

In 1999, for the second time in history, an impeached

American president went on trial before the Senate. President
Bill Clinton faced charges of perjury and obstruction of justice; he was acquitted.
Ten years ago: A military jury at Fort Hood, Texas, acquitted Army Sgt. 1st Class Tracy Perkins of involuntary manslaughter in the alleged drowning of an Iraqi civilian, but convicted him of assault in the Jan. 2004 incident. (Perkins was
sentenced to six months in prison.) Rosemary Kennedy, the
oldest sister of President John F. Kennedy and the inspiration
for the Special Olympics, died at a Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin,
hospital at age 86. Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston announced
they were separating after 4 1/2 years of marriage.
Five years ago: A worker for a transformer-making company in St. Louis showed up at the plant and opened fire,
killing three people and wounding five before killing himself.
Thousands of Egyptian Christians went on a rampage after six
members of their community were gunned down as they left
midnight Mass for Coptic Christians in the southern Egyptian
town of Nag Hamadi. No. 1 Alabama held on for a 37-21
win over No. 2 Texas in the BCS championship played in
Pasadena, California.
One year ago: Brutal polar air that made the Midwest
shiver over the past few days spread to the East and the Deep
South, shattering records that in some cases had stood for
more than a century. A U.S. Air Force Pave Hawk helicopter
crashed in a coastal area of eastern England during a training

employees, some of our services have been
affected and have taken longer to complete.
In spite of these adverse conditions, we have
continued to strive to provide the best service
possible. In May, 2014, the voters of Delphos
passed an additional .25% income tax earmarked for our Parks and Recreation. This
in turn, will free up much needed relief for
our general fund in 2015. In 2014, we also
received word that Lakeview Farms would
be bringing an additional 200 new jobs to
Delphos, and will be locating to the Reser
building. I want to thank all the people who
helped make this happen. We will continue
to work to give the citizens of Delphos the
best service we can and be prudent with our
spending.
Our staff at the City building continues to
provide the administrative support to keep
our city running. After an extensive search
and vetting of candidates, we hired Shane
Coleman as the new Safety/Service Director.
Shane brings a lot of experience in government and I believe he will be a great asset to
the city.
In our Maintenance Department, we saw
the retirement of Jeff Rostorfer and the addition of Eric Furry as maintenance superintendent. As you are all aware, last winter was
extremely hard on our maintenance department. Our crew, with the help of all depart-
ments, plowed or salted 22 winter weather

events, and used around 5300 gallons of salt
brine to pretreat the streets. Along with all of
this, they also had the majority of the 23 water
leaks in that same time period. Of course, all
the winter weather also takes its toll on our
streets and alleys. The maintenance crew used
2804 gallons of tar, 211 tons of stone and 15
tons of cold patch to repair the streets and
alleys. Also on their list were other routine
maintenance tasks such as changing lights,
painting streets, and OUPS calls for marking
our utilities for construction.
Our Water Department saw the resignation of Tim Williams, and the promotion
of Todd Haunhorst to water superintendent.
Jon Brenneman was transferred from the
Wastewater department to the Water department. Along with producing our water and
ongoing routine maintenance our water
department flushed hydrants throughout the
City in September, installed a new 2 inch
water line on Jackson St., and two of the lime
sludge lagoons were cleaned with the help of
the State. They collected 20 required water
samples and submitted them to the EPA for
copper and lead content analysis. The reports
came back with no high levels. The City
treated 271,961,000 gallons of water in 2014,
with the highest amount being on February
21st with 1,318,756 gallons treated due to a
large water line break.
The staff at Wastewater spent the majority of their time in 2014 addressing issues
occurring at the plant. They continue to work
to maximize hydraulic through put while
maintaining the best quality of discharge as
possible. The staff and the citys administration have spent countless hours contacting
process equipment companies and evaluating

their equipment. Our goal is to provide our
community with a long term solution. The
staff continues to work on the lift stations
and sewers around town to keep problems
from occurring or to fix them when needed.
Jeff Stockwell transferred from maintenance
department to the Wastewater Department.
The Parks and Recreation Department
continues to improve its facilities through
much appreciated donations and the help of
volunteers. These improvements continue to
make our City parks the best in the area. The
swimming pool opened on Memorial Day,
and closed Aug. 24. Even with the cool summer, we had over 15,000 swimmers enjoying
our pool. The football season saw 49 games
played on the field this fall. The concert
series on Sundays by the Rotary Club, and
the July 4th festival by the Kiwanis, drew
large crowds and are great attractions for the
citizens of Delphos and the surrounding area.
The Police Department responded to over
4,700 calls for service, 103 car accidents
and made over 500 separate arrests. We
moved the dispatch duties to the Allen County
Sherriff Department on July 1st. This was
done to support the budget and allows more
officers to be on the streets. The Police
Department received over $11,000 in generous donations and $1,023 in forfeiture money.
These funds continue to assist in paying for
training and other expenses. The department
continues to work with the schools for the
DARE programs, conduct seat belt awareness
campaigns and using Facebook as a new way
of law enforcement. Marc Slate was promoted
to assistant chief, Ben Becker to detective and
Greg Foust to Sergeant.
As with our other departments, we also

saw a shift in personnel in the Fire and Rescue
department. Kevin Streets was promoted to
Fire chief and Roy Hoehn to platoon chief.
Due to retirements and a resignation, Scott
Warnement and Brandon Webb are our new
full time firefighters. Grant money totaling $12,000 was used to bring our 36 hour
firefighters to level 1 fireman (95 percent
are now Level 1), we also received $38,000
to replace our 20 year old EMS cots, and
$10,000 from generous donations for turn
out gear and training. There were over 1,200
calls for service for the Fire and Rescue. The
department continues with the inspections
of buildings and school education programs,
and supplied 550 free smoke detectors to our
community in a new program for fire safety.
City council also saw two resignations last
year. Dan Hirn was chosen to replace Kim
Riddell as Council President. The Republican
Party Committee will be interviewing for a
replacement for the Council at Large seat
that was vacated due to Kevin Ostings resignation. Council has passed 63 pieces of
legislation, has a temporary budget in place
for 2015, and will be working to approve a
permanent budget by the March 31 deadline.
Council and the Administration will continue
to work diligently to serve the citizens of
Delphos and to improve our City in 2015.
We have all worked together and I feel that
our City is moving in a positive direction.
I want to thank everyone for their patience,
support and dedication to the goal of keeping
our City strong.

Frigid temperatures to follow snowfall

CINCINNATI (AP)
Ohioans were warned to prepare for single-digit temperatures and wind chills below
zero as snowfall that caused
hazardous road conditions in
many areas moved out of the
state on Tuesday.
Overnight snowfall led to
slow morning commutes on
hazardous roads, with many
sheriffs issuing road advisories and some school districts
canceling or delaying classes.
Authorities reported numerous traffic accidents across
the state.
The heaviest snowfall

was in a band stretching
from west-central to southeast Ohio, where some areas
received as much as 4 to
6 inches, said Mike Kurz,
a meteorologist with the
National Weather Services
Wilmington office. He said
temperatures would continue
dropping overnight.
The
forecast
for
Wednesday
night
into
Thursday called for even
colder conditions, with temperatures below zero for most
of the state and wind chills
possibly as low as 20 to 30
below zero.
Duke Energy in southwestern Ohio said it was prepared for increased demand,
but advised customers to
check supplies of flashlights,

batteries, bottled water and
medicines. Columbia Gas Of
Ohio in central Ohio warned
customers not to use ovens or
ranges to heat homes.

Librarians of yesteryear looked things up in
card catalogs, encyclopedias and the multi-volume set Dewey Decimal
Classification and Relative

finders of obscure information for the science project due the next day. They
were the explorers of the
stacks. They were the leading search experts before
Google. Now everyone has
access to Google, including
librarians. And somehow
librarians still seem to have
an edge.
Its because they know
its all about how you

you trust information that

results that only come from
.edu or .gov sites, type in
your search then add this

example, - Korean War

This is the final day of 2014 as I write. A

brand new year awaits us. May God be our
guide as we travel into the unknown future.
Sister Emma, Jacob and family, and sisters
Verena and Susan and all the girls special
friends plan to be here for supper tonight. We
will then play games such as Aggravation,
Mancala, Connect Four, checkers, and various
other games to keep 24 people entertained until
midnight. The children enjoy staying awake to
see the new year arrive. Joe and I would much
rather get some extra sleep, but its fun to see
the excitement. Everyone will sleep here and we
will have brunch together tomorrow. We will set
up beds and air mattresses in the basement for
the boys and the rest will sleep upstairs or on the
couches. The number of people has grown from
last year. We add tables to our big dining room
table, making enough room to set it up for 24.
We will have a gift exchange too.
Saturday evening the youth in our church district went Christmas caroling to the older people
in the church and neighborhood. Instead of having to deal with snow, it was rain. It wasnt too
bad until they were all back at our neighbors.
The 30 youth all gathered here earlier in the
month to exchange names and play games. How
blessed we can be to have such a well-behaved
group. Everyone brought snacks and we had hot
dog sandwiches. Saturday evening they all took
snacks to enjoy after caroling. The girls were
happy with the gifts they received.
Timothy brought us a deer one evening. It
was a big doe and had a lot of meat. Joe wants
to make summer sausage and jerky with it.
Yesterday Mose sent a 5-gallon bucket full of
deer meat from a doe he shot yesterday morning. We are so thankful for the meat. We all love
jerky so the children are hoping Joe gets some
made before going back to work.
On Sunday, our church had its annual
Christmas potluck. There was so much food.
Pasta casseroles, potato casseroles, ham and
cheese sandwiches, a variety of salads, pies,
cakes, bars, cookies, puddings, etc. There was
more than enough food.
We still dont have snow. We have a few flurries now and then. Its so different than last year.
Yesterday morning the mercury on the thermometer dipped down to a cold 12 degrees for
a while. Son Benjamin, 15, left for work around
5:30 a.m. Then around 6 a.m., Joe, son Joseph,
12, and I traveled the eight miles to town to get
some groceries. The ride was nice and cozy with
the heater going in the buggy. How spoiled we
feel since we used to travel in an open buggy
when we lived in Indiana. When we made the
move to Michigan almost 11 years ago I needed
time to adjust to driving in a covered buggy.
Now I would have a hard time getting used to
driving in an open buggyespecially in the rain
and cold winter months.
I made cinnamon rolls and Long John rolls
over the Christmas holiday. Ill share the recipes
for Long John rolls.

add the yeast and stir until completely dissolved.
Set aside. Scald the milk and let cool to lukewarm. Add the milk to the dissolved yeast.
Blend together eggs, butter or margarine,
sugar, salt, and nutmeg until well blended,
and then add to the milk and yeast mixture.
Gradually add flour until the dough is elastic
and easy to handle. Knead until you form a
round ball. Put in a bowl and cover with wax
paper. Put it in a warm place and let rise until
doubled in size, about 2 hours. Punch down
and divide the dough into 2 large pieces. Roll
out each piece to a 3/4-inch thickness. Cut into
7-inch oblong pieces. Let rise again.
Heat vegetable shortening in a deep pan to
a depth of 2 to 3 inches until very hot. Fry the
rolls in batches until golden, 2 minutes on each
side. Frosting may be added if desired, once the
rolls have cooled.
Long John rolls cannot be frozen or stored;
they should be eaten the day they are made.

By JIM METCALFE
DHI Media Sports Editor

OTTOVILLE Ottoville head boys basketball coach Todd

Turnwald wasnt pleased with his teams play the last two
games losses to Crestview and Lincolnview.
So much so he served notice to his crew one way was
in the form of a new starting lineup with freshmen Nick
Moorman and Brendon Siefker in it for Tuesdays home nonleague encounter with Tinora at L.W. Heckman Gymnasium.
However, it was a senior veteran Brandt Landin that
took it most to heart, erupting for 43 points every which way in
pacing the Green and Gold to a 72-51 whipping of the Rams.
We were not happy after our last two games. We did
not guard anyone and we have to guard to be successful,
Turnwald explained. It started after church on Sunday and
we told our guys that players would be held accountable from
now on. That was a tough practice that afternoon and it gave
our players two choices: either sit and pout or respond. They
responded.
According to sources, Landins total tied the 43 scored by
alum Jerry Hoersten.
His effort including three triples and 12-of-14 from the
free-throw line. He even added seven boards, four steals and
two blocks.
Coach wasnt happy with us and he worked us hard in
practice leading up to this game, Landin noted. He basically
wanted us to elevate our games and we did. We worked and
played hard. I got into a nice, smooth flow offensively because
of that and because my teammates were looking to me to do
so.
It started from the get-go as he downed seven points in
the opening period, helping the Big Green (5-4) get to a 13-2
lead on his 3-ball at the 1:54 mark. The Rams Jacob Miller
(10 markers, 7 boards, 3 blocks) scored from in the lane but
Morman tipped in a miss with 1.4 ticks on the board for a 15-4
edge for the home unit.

Bengals defense
set for overhaul
By JOE KAY
Associated Press
CINCINNATI The
Bengals defense is headed
for a makeover.
A unit that ranked among
the leagues best the last few
years and steadied Cincinnati
to four straight playoff appearances is showing some wear
and tear. The Bengals kept it
generally intact last season
and it slid from third to 22nd
overall in yards allowed.
The starting cornerbacks
are all in their 30s
and the line isnt the
same with tackle
Geno Atkins struggling to return to
form after a knee
injury. Also, there
are questions about linebacker Vontaze Burfict, who is
expected to have a second
knee operation soon.
Its time for change. After
a fourth straight openinground playoff loss, the players sense it.
Im all for it, man, tackle
Domata Peko said. Whatever
can help our team get better, thats what we need to
do. This being one-and-done,
theres no good feeling in
that.
Weve got to get better
as a unit, get better as a team.
And it starts this offseason.
Hopefully we can pick up
some guys in free agency or
draft some really talented
guys and thatll help us out.
The Bengals brought back
most of their defense last season. The only significant loss
was end Michael Johnson,
who left as a free agent. It

turned out to be a big setback.
Cincinnati got little pressure on the quarterback during many games Andrew
Luck was sacked only once in
the Colts 26-10 playoff victory on Sunday. The Bengals
managed only 20 sacks, fewest in the NFL and secondfewest in franchise history for
a 16-game schedule.
The defensive line will be
a main focus in free agency
and the draft.
We need to improve the
guys who we have,
the guys who are coming back here next
year, Guenther said.
We need to improve
them and continue to
improve, and we need
to infuse some new players,
to be honest with you.
One main concern is
Atkins, who was an average player three sacks,
34 tackles in his first
year back from reconstructive knee surgery. Atkins led
all interior NFL linemen in
sacks when he was healthy,
but didnt get much pressure
up the middle this season.
The question is whether
hell be back in form next
season.
I sure hope so because
we need him to be that way,
Guenther said. Otherwise
we need to go find a new
inside rusher.
He was just a guy out
there. We need to get him
back to where he was, being
that game-wrecker there
inside. If he gets back to that,
it makes my job a lot easier.
PAULDING The St.

Johns Blue Jays used a fast
start to defeat the Paulding
Panthers 63-40 in non-league
boys basketball at the Jungle
Tuesday night.
The Blue Jays started the
game as they usually do with
Andy Grothouse scoring the
first points of the game with a
3-pointer. Jarrett Sitton quickly answered with a baseline
basket for the Panthers. St.
Johns went on a 13-1 run
as Grothouse added another
triple and Alex Odenweller
chipped in a pair of triples
to fuel the Blue Jay offense.
Corbin Edwards scored the
next four points of the contest
for the Panthers with a pair of
free throws and a jumper from
the top of the key. St. Johns
Evan Hays added the final
points of the opening quarter
with a spin move in the paint
to give the Blue Jays a 18-7
lead.
Weve came out ready to
play for eight straight games
to open the season, commented Blue Jay coach Aaron
coach Shawn Brewer called

timeout to slow the momentum.
Whatever Brewer said to his
troops worked as the Panthers
outscored the Blue Jays 8-0
on baskets by Alex Arellano,
Edwards and Treston Gonzales
to cut the lead down to 25-18.
Grothouse scored the final
seven points of the first half for
the Blue Jays with a triple and
a pair of bank shots. Gonzales
scored in the paint while being
fouled and his 3-point play
brought the Panthers within
32-21 at the half.
Paulding again reduced the
Blue Jay lead to single digits
as Gonzales scored on a layup
after a steal by the defense
to start the third period. Hays
began to heat up for St. Johns,
hitting pull-up jumpers from
the paint as the Blue Jays
lead grew to 41-23. Arellano

Colts owner eager to face

Mannings Broncos in playoffs
By MICHAEL MAROT
Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS Jim Irsay figured the road to Indianapolis next
Super Bowl title eventually would go
through Peyton Mannings new team.
He never anticipated it would happen this fast.
Heading into Sundays divisional-round game against the Broncos,
the Colts owner said Tuesday that
Hollywood couldnt have created a
better script than Manning vs. Andrew
Luck.
The winner earns a ticket to the
AFC Championship game. The loser
heads home to contemplate what must
be fixed before Round 4 of this quarterback duel takes place sometime next
season.
Irsay said he and then-team president Bill Polian started discussing how
and when to transition from Manning to
his eventual successor in 2010, determining at that time that most prominent
quarterbacks started declining at about
age 38. Manning will turn 39 in March

and Irsay noted that Manning could
defy the odds because hes still playing
at such a high level.
Those talks became more important
a year later when Manning
missed the entire season
because of a nerve injury
that weakened his right arm.
Without their star quarterback, the usually strong
Colts stumbled to a 2-14
mark.
Irsay was forced to decide
whether to keep a potentially proficient
but injured and soon-to-be 35-yearold quarterback with a high salary-cap
number or rebuild immediately. His
answer came on the final day of the
2011 season.
Two months later, Irsay made an
emotional announcement that Manning
and the Colts were parting ways. Even
then, Irsay insisted he wanted Manning
to get another shot at a Super Bowl
title while the revamped Colts would
attempt to put themselves back into
contention.
A month later, Indy kicked off the
rebuilding process by taking Luck with
the top pick and it didnt take long for
the former Colts star and the new Colts
star to embark on a collision
course.
Manning led the Broncos
to three straight AFC West
titles and last years Super
Bowl.
Luck, meanwhile, won
33 regular-season games,
reached the playoffs in each
of his first three NFL seasons and captured the last two AFC South titles.
Last weekends wild-card win over
Cincinnati set up Sundays rematch
with Mannings Broncos, who won
31-24 in the season opener.
Manning won a league record
fifth MVP last season after shattering
Tom Bradys single-season record for
touchdown passes (55) and he has the
Broncos (12-4) back in the Super Bowl
hunt.
Ada nips Jennings on Conleys buzzer-beater

By JIM COX
DHI Media Correspondent
news@delphosherald.com
FORT JENNINGS Twelve Ada 3-pointers, the last

one at the final buzzer by sophomore Owen Conley,
told the story Tuesday night as the Bulldogs nipped Fort
Jennings 59-58 in a well-played game.
Ada is now 3-3, while the Musketeers fall to 2-6.
The hosts led from early in the second quarter until
late in the final period, frequently by as many as 10 or
12 points. With the Musketeers up 52-46 and 5:39 left
in the game, the tide turned. Ada senior Levi Bass split
a pair at the line and junior Blake Willeke rattled
in a 3-pointer from the left corner 52-50,
Jennings at 4:43.
Musketeer junior point guard Alex Berelsman
hit senior Austin Kehres for an back-door layup
to lead by four but Bulldog junior Brayden Sautter
tripled from the left corner, then hit two free
throws to put Ada up 55-54 at 2:45. Fort Jennings
senior Connor Wallenhorsts spinning layup got
the lead back but Sautter hit the second of two free
throws to tie it at 56 with 1:29 left.
Fort Jennings held the ball for over a minute
before Berelsman again found Kehres on a backdoor cut 58-56, Musketeers, with 0:08 on the
clock. After an Ada timeout, Sautter hurried down
court and hit Conley on the left wing. Conleys 3-pointer hit nothing but net. There was 0:00.4 left, not enough
time for the Musketeers to get off another shot.
Brayden said just give me the ball and Ill either get
it to the basket or Ill find somebody, said Ada coach
Chris Sautter, Braydens father. He was able to push it
up the floor hard. Owen Conley is a really good 3-point
shooter for us, he spotted up, was wide open, and he hit
the shot.
After a back-and-forth first quarter, Fort Jennings
led 19-16. Ada scored the first four points in the second
period to lead 20-19 but it was all Musketeers for the
next six minutes. Fort Jennings led 37-27 at the half, by
which time senior Nick Van Sossan had 12 points, and
the home team was shooting 52 percent (14 of 27) from
the field. Ada hit only 36 percent (9 of 25) from the
field in the first 16 minutes but the Dogs would heat
up significantly thereafter.
Ada got as close as two points in the third period but

Van Sossan put back his own miss at the buzzer to lead
48-42.
The shooting was impressive by both teams. Fort
Jennings ended at 50 percent on 23 of 46 from the field
and 80 percent, 8 of 10, from the stripe. Ada shot 44
percent, 18 of 41, from the field and 73 percent, 11 of
15, from the line. The Musketeers won the boards 26-17
but the Bulldogs had fewer turnovers, 10-15.
It makes us tough to guard when were hitting
shots, said Coach Sautter. We need to improve defensively but we got enough stops down the stretch. We
were just fortunate that we had the ball last. It was a
huge win, got us to .500, nice to see the ball go
through the hoop a few times.
Von Sossan and Kehres had 14 points each for
Fort Jennings, as did Sautter, Willeke and Grant
McBride for Ada.
Fort Jennings (6-2) won the jayvee game 50-47.
The Musketeers balanced scoring was led by Luke
Trentman and Ian Finn with eight apiece.
Ada (2-4) was led by Seth Evans with 18.

Rating officials: How NFL

determines who works postseason
Associated Press
Echoes of replacement refs.
One item in the labor agreement the NFL struck with its
game officials in 2012 after the lockout called for all-star
crews working the postseason.
The NFL Referees Association insisted on it. The league
was so eager to get the regulars back on the field after the
replacement officials debacle that it agreed.
After the uproar surrounding one specific non-call in the
Detroit-Dallas wild-card game Sunday and other calls
made or ignored over the weekend lots of people are wondering why the NFL gave in.
Generally, before 2004 the highest-rated full crews worked
playoff games and the Super Bowl. That changed to a hybrid
system in 04 that allowed for eliminating lower-rated officials
on some crews from working the postseason.
Moving to the current all-star approach allows for officials rated highest at each position by supervisors to get the
premium assignments. But it also can rob the crews working
the critical January and February games of the cohesion developed through a full preseason and regular season.
Regardless, until the CBA with the officials union runs out
after next years postseason, the all-star format is in effect.
So how are these officials evaluated?
Officiating supervisors rate performances of on-field referees, umpires, linesmen and judges every week on every play.
All of the supervisors are former on-field officials.
The crewmembers get to see those weekly reports.
Officials get an accuracy percentage on their calls for
the entire season, which takes into account the calls made
and missed, and calls that should have been made, says Dean
Blandino, director of NFL officiating.
Then the officials are grouped into three tiers based on
that accuracy percentage of their calls. Those in Tier 1 are eligible for playoff assignments, including the Super Bowl and
the conference championships.
Those in Tier 2 will fill in the blanks and handle some of
the other playoff games.
If an official is in Tier 3, he gets no postseason assignments
and could be up for employment review, Blandino says.
Seniority is not taken into account.
Once placed in a tier, the officials are divided up based
on other criteria. That includes decisiveness, clarity of explanations, control of the game, physical fitness, and several
other categories.
The officials who rate best overall are chosen to work the
postseason.
No crew will work more than two games. The Super
Bowl crew will handle one of this weekends games, meaning that Pete Morellis group that worked the Lions-Cowboys
contest will not do the big game.
For the Super Bowl crew, we want them to work one game
and the divisional round is best, Blandino says. Its not that
long a break after the season or before the Super Bowl. It fits
right in the middle.
Often, several of the officiating crew members will have
worked a game or more during the regular season, perhaps
even much of the schedule. For Lions-Cowboys, Blandino
says four of the officials had been at the same regular-season
game, but none had worked with Morelli in 2014.
As for which particular games the crews get in the first two
rounds of the playoffs, Blandino says the NFL will look at the
matchups and the two teams and tendencies, and then look at
the officials and if they fit for certain matchups.
Could the assignment system be changed once the CBA
with the officials union concludes?
Its definitely something to look at after the 2015 season,
Blandino adds, but at this point there is no strong opinion one
way or the other.

Former Giants coach Allie Sherman dies at 91

NEW YORK Allie Sherman, the player-friendly coach
who led the New York Giants to NFL championship games in
his first three seasons with a star-studded but aging roster, has
died. He was 91.
Shermans family announced Monday that he died Saturday
at his Manhattan home.
Allie was a great coach and an even better man, John
Mara, Giants president and chief executive officer, said. He
was a special friend, and I will miss him dearly.
Shermans Giants lost to the Green Bay Packers in the
1961 and 1962 championship games and to the Chicago Bears
in the 1963 title game. He was the NFL Coach of the Year in
1961 and 1962 and finished 57-51-4 in eight seasons with the
Giants.
After posting a 33-8-1 record in his first three seasons,
the Giants did not have a winning season in Shermans final
five years, with the struggles leading frustrated fans to chant
Goodbye Allie at times.
To his credit, Sherman always said that the fans had to right
to express their displeasure.
Allie was a friend of mine, Hall of Fame running back
Frank Gifford said. There were a lot of times after practice
when we were in Yankee Stadium and he would come over if
I wasnt looking like I was happy. He wanted to know what
was wrong. He would pull up his little stool, wed sit down
and wed talk. He was a coach and a friend. Coaching was a
different kind of role in his life.
Sherman was the coach who helped
Gifford move from defensive to offense,
taking a player away from then coordinator Tom Landry.
Sherman was an innovator on offense,
and liked to throw the ball downfield
with Y.A. Tittle, another Hall of Famer, at
quarterback. In 1966, he brought in placekicker Pete Gogolak from the then AFL
Buffalo Bills, making him the NFLs first
soccer-style kicker.
He always treated me well, Gogolak
Sherman
said. He didnt try to change my form.
Back then, everybody tried to coach everybody else, but my
kicking style was so new that I think he was very decent from
that point of view. He said, I dont know too much about
what you do, so he kind of left me alone, because there was
no comparison to anybody else. He was a really good guy to
play for.
The 5-10 Sherman played quarterback at Brooklyn College
and spent five seasons in the NFL as a backup with the
Philadelphia Eagles. He served as the Giants backfield coach
from 1949-52 and was 36-26-2 as the head coach of the
Canadian Football Leagues Winnipeg Blue Bombers from
1953-57.
He returned to the Giants as a scout in 1958, took over as
offensive coach in 1959 when Vince Lombardi left for the
Packers and became head coach when Jim Lee Howell retired
after the 1960 season, inheriting a team that included Hallof-Famer Rosie Grier, fullback Alex Webster who would
replace Sherman before the 1969 season linebacker Sam
Huff and cornerback Erich Barnes.
Sherman was born in Brooklyn in 1923, the son of Russian
immigrants.
Allie was special, said Steve Tisch, the teams chairman
and executive vice president. Like my father (Bob), Allie was
from Brooklyn. Allie was one of us. Can you imagine being
the person hired to replace Vince Lombardi on a coaching staff
in 1959? Allie did it and he did it well.
Hes survived by wife Joan, son Randy, daughters Lori
Sherman and Robin Klausner and two grandchildren. A private funeral will be held.

Jays
(Continued from page 6)
Paulding continued to claw away at the lead in the fourth

quarter as Arellano scored on a spin move from the foul line
and Edwards added a free throw as the Panthers trailed 43-34.
St. Johns went on an 8-0 spurt as Grothouse scored six points
and Heiing added a bucket on an empty floor as Paulding was
slow to come out of a timeout. Edwards added a pair of free
throws and Arellano continued to score from the inside for the
Panthers. The Blue Jays put the game away as Conley found
an open Tim Kreeger under the boards for the easy bucket and
Odenweller hit a pull-up jumper.
We started very slow tonight and it created a long night for
us, said Brewer. Im proud of our team for fighting back and
cutting into the lead in the second quarter but mental lapses
quickly pushed the lead back to double digits. This was our
poorest execution of the game plan of the season but if we
continue to hang together we will get better.
St. Johns shot 53 percent from the field, converting 7-of-12
attempts from long range.
Grothouse led all scorers with 21 points and Odenweller
hit four booms for 18 points. Hays was also in double digits
with 10.
Paulding (4-4) was scoreless from3-point land and shot 42
percent from the field. Edwards led the Panthers with 15 points
and Gonzalez chipped in 12.
The Blue Jays (7-1) outrebounded the Panthers 21-13.
In junior varsity action, Paulding was victorious 44-35.
St. Johns is at Coldwater Friday.

LadyCats win defensive

tussle versus Blue Jays
By JIM METCALFE
DHI Media Sports Editor
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
much confidence at the offensive end

right now. Its to the point we are passing up good shots, Lady Jays mentor
Dan J. Grothouse explained.
We played pretty good defense
for the game, especially the
first half, but it becomes difficult to keep playing that kind
of defense when youre not
scoring. We made too many
mistakes the second half with turnovers and it cost us at the other end;
Kalida is too good not to take advantage
of that.
Kalida coach Adam Huber
wasnt as displeased.
We did enough, especially the
third period. We talked at the half
about being more aggressive, he
added. St. Johns is known for
its aggressive, well-c0ached manto-man but I think our girls were
surprised by it. Usually, we are
aggressive when that happens we
take the ball to the basket but not
the first half. Defensively, we did a pretty
good job but youre always looking for
things you know you can do better.
Defense would be the name of the
game from the beginning in this contest:
the units combined for 6-of-14 shooting
and nine turnovers in a slower-tempo
game. The difference came down to a
free toss by Kalida (Kahle) and when
St. Johns senior Tara Vorst hit a baseline
drive at 14 ticks, the Jays were within
7-6.
The offenses were even less effective
in the second canto as the combatants
combined for 4-of-14 shooting. When
Fischbach hit a turnaround in the paint at
1:44, the game was knotted at 11.
St. Johns finished with 22 caroms
KALIDA Both St. Johns and

Kalida had their issues offensively in
their girls basketball matchup Monday
night at Kalidas Wildcat Den.
One good or bad, depending on
the perspective quarter would end up
being the difference.
Kalida (7-3) outscored the Jays 12-2
in the third period and went on to a
37-24 victory in a defensive tussle.
Tied at 11 to start the third, Kalidas
mix of 2-1-2 full-court pressure and
man-to-man half-court stymied the Lady
Blue Jays into 1-of-10 shooting (8-of-35
overall, 1-of-9 downtown, for 22.9%),
with Sydney Fischbach (10 markers,
6 boards) getting the only basket for
the Blue and Gold (3-6) at 6:20 to tie
it at 13. Kalida went 4-of-8 from the
floor (13-of-27 for the night, 0-of-3
long range, for 48.1%) in the same time
frame. They took the lead at 4:27 on a
drive to the basket by Jacquelyn Gardner
(8 counters) and went on to a 23-13 lead
on two tosses from Cathy Basinger with
7.4 ticks showing.
The Jays (3-6) needed to heat up in
the fourth period but that didnt happen
as they were 2-of-10 shooting. They did
down 7-of-10 at the foul line (7-of-11
overall for 63.6%) but could only draw
within 30-23 on two Fischbach tosses at
1:22. Kalida canned 4-of-6 shots in the
finale and added 6-of-10 singles (11of-18 for the night for 61.1%) with
Brittany Kahle scoring five of her six
points in the canto to keep the visitors at bay.

Landin
Ottoville canned 7-of-11 shots from the
field in the canto (24-of-54 total, 4-of-16
downtown, for 44.4%).
Landin continued his assault on the basket
in the second period, dropping in two triples
and two deuces the only baskets the hosts
tallied in the period as Colin Bendele (7 markers) hit two singles and Kyle Bendele (12
counters, 6 rebounds) had one. Reid Anders
(22 counters - 4 treys - 5 assists, 4 boards)
tried to keep pace with 10 in the period the
same way Landin had done it. Landins rainbow from the left wing at 1:32 gave the hosts
a 28-15 edge but Mathias Grube counted a
15-foot baseline jumper at 20 ticks to get the
halftime score to 28-17.
Tinora (4-3) had no answer for the 6-4
Ottoville senior. They tried a 1-2-2 full-court
trap to start the second half and tried to force
the ball out of his hands but it was to no avail
as he poured in 11 more markers in the third
period. Tinora hit 5-of-10 shots in the stanza
(18-of-43 for the game, 5-of-17 beyond the
arc, for 41.9%) but they fell further behind
44-28 as Landin hit a pair of throws with 54
ticks on the board.
In fact, Landin had as many points himself
after three periods as the Rams did as a team.
Tinora tried to rally in the finale but with
Landin saving his best for last 15 in the
fourth, including 9-of-11 at the stripe and
the Big Green downing 14-of-17 as a team
(20-of-24 for the game for 83.3%), they
really had no hope. Plus, Ottoville was 7-of14 shooting and Kyle Bendele added seven
markers in the period. Anders went for nine
points but Ottoville won going away.
We guarded tonight. Thats where it started, Turnwald added. Brandt really did a
nice job of letting the game come to him; he
was phenomenal. What I was happy with him

the kids character, said Hickman. Athletics

teaches you a lot of life lessons and one
is how resilient you can be when you get
knocked down. I think our kids are learning
that but havent quite learned it enough to
apply it on the floor.
The Panthers quickly got the deficit to just
five points but couldnt get over the hump.
Parkway sent the Pioneers to the line a lot
in the final quarter and they converted. The
Panthers were unable to convert turn their free
throw trips into points, which proved to be the
determining factor in the ball game.
They were hitting their free throws and
we werent, said Hickman. When you step
up to the line and miss your free throws, it
kind of takes away from the momentum. We
lost momentum when kept getting fouled but
were missing our free throws.
The Pioneers ended the night with a
46-percent mark from beyond the arc, while
Parkway struggled at 12 percent. Temple
Christian also won the rebounding battle
35-23 while also shooting 12 percent better
from the charity stripe.
I give Parkway a lot of credit for battling
back tonight and making it a close basketball
game that couldve gone either way, said
Bowman. That first quarter-and-a-half really
decided this game. We couldnt miss a basket,
while they struggled to find one. I give a lot
of credit to our guards who did a great job of
stepping up and hitting free throws tonight
late in the game.
Temple also scored a victory in the JV
contest, winning 37-30.

LIMA Lima Temple Christian could not

have asked for a better start Tuesday night as
they found the bottom of the net four times
from beyond the arc, while Parkway missed
four, in the first 2 1/2 minutes of the ball
game.The Pioneers rode that hot start to an
eventual 63-55 non-conference game at the
Covered Wagon.
Following a Panther timeout, Tanner Bates
got Parkway on the scoreboard with a layup
before Michael Breaston made threes on
back-to-back possessions, increasing the
Pioneer lead 16.
We came out flat-footed, said Parkway
head basketball coach Rick Hickman. We are
one of those teams that can play pretty good
as long as we come out with passion and a
little fire in our eyes. However, we dont have
the luxury of just coming out and staying in
the game.
Early in the second quarter, the Pioneers
found themselves up 25 points before Parkway
got a huge push from sophomore post player,
Brant Barna. Barna scored 10 points for the
Panthers in just the second quarter coming off
of a couple offensive rebounds and 3-point
play opportunities. Parkway trailed 35-21 at
the end of the first half.
Obviously its not something that youre
able to replicate every night, said Pioneer
head coach Bruce Bowman on his teams
3-point shooting performance. We are capable
of shooting the basketball really well, but obviously tonight we shot the ball really well.
You cant spot a team a 25 point lead and
expect to come back, explained Hickman.
Parkway came out of the break with a lot
of momentum getting quick baskets from
Barna and Brody Adams to cut the deficit to
less than 10 points. The Panthers fought to
keep the game close throughout the remainder
was he didnt neglect the other parts of the of the quarter, finishing the third down eight
game. I was also happy with how our chem- points.
At some point, you have to challenge
istry seemed to click tonight: for example,
Austin (Honigford) was a usual starter but he
came off the bench with great energy. That
was really nice to see.

TV makers design for streaming video to stay relevant

deliver more 4K streaming video. Sony
also launched an alliance with other TV
makers, content providers and distributors to create technical standards for
high-quality 4K video.
Its going to be the first format
primarily driven by streaming, says
Jim Funk, a senior vice president at
Roku Inc., which makes streaming TV
devices.
Beyond 4K, Sharp developed an
engineering trick to make its high-end
set look even sharper. Samsung added
a nanocrystal semiconductor layer to
make colors purer and the screen brighter. LG is pushing organic LED screens
with richer colors and pure black - the
kind typically limited to smaller displays such as phones because of price.
And Internet connectivity is becoming standard in sets, the way all TVs are
color now. LG and Samsung also have
ways to easily switch video between
TV and mobile devices, so that if youre
watching a movie on a phone, you can
continue it on your TV as soon as you
get home.
The
Consumer
Electronics
Association expects TV sales to increase
2 percent to 251 million units this year.
The average screen size is projected to
be 40 inches, up from 31 inches in 2007.
CEA predicts more than 23 million of
the units will be 4K TVs this year, about
2.5 times the shipments in 2014. Thats
even with the explosion of viewing on
tablets and smartphones.
People tend to use phones and tablets
while traveling or for shorter video,
says Tim Alessi, head of new product
development for home entertainment at
LG Electronics USA. For a full-length
movie, viewers want to replicate the
theater in the home. Thats only done
through a big TV set.
When I want a full home-entertainment experience, especially with my
family and friends, the TV is still the
best way to do that, agrees Tim Baxter,

president and chief operating officer of
Samsung Electronics America.
So, how much will all this cost?
TVs with 4K capabilities have started
to drop below $1,000, but they are still
a few hundred dollars more than regular
sets. Consumers also will likely have
to pay more for 4K content, the way
service providers now charge a few dollars more for high-definition downloads.
Netflix charges $12 for a streaming plan
that supports 4K versus $9 for regular
formats, for example.
With compression technology, consumers should be able to view 4K video
with standard broadband packages,
though the experience will be better with
higher, pricier tiers.
Even more streaming is expected
as content providers hop on the online
train alongside the TV makers. Tensions
likely will increase between content
distributors and Internet access providers over whos going to pay for network
upgrades and how those costs might
get passed down to consumers.
More traditional channels are
becoming available without the need
for a cable or satellite subscription.
Satellite TV provider Dish Network
Corp. is the latest, offering its Sling
TV package of channels, including
ESPN and CNN, for delivery entirely
over the Internet. The availability of
ESPN addresses a major reason people
have still kept TV service live
sports. Sony also has an Internet television service expected to debut by the
end of March - PlayStation Vue - and
HBO and Showtime plan to debut
Internet-only subscription offerings
this year. The packages are aimed at
the millions of so-called cord-cutters
or cord-nevers that find cable and
satellite bundles too pricey and dont
subscribe to either, turning instead to
Hulu, Googles YouTube and Amazon.

I have recently started

looking for a house. My credit score is in the 670 range,
but I have three judgments
against me. With the judgments, I find I cant get a
traditional mortgage. I have
found a home where the previous owner is willing to hold
the mortgage. What caution
should I take in proceeding
with this? -- D.M.
DEAR D.M.: You have
certainly had your share of
bad luck, and I sympathize.
I hope that you are now on
your way to both physical
and mental recovery.
You mentioned your wife
took it upon herself to put
you in debt. I would be curious to know how she did that,
but first, with all the judgments, you must ask yourself
if it is wise right now, while
you are trying to get back
on your feet, to purchase a
home. I think the answer is
no. You will be much better
off to find a modest home/
apartment/condo to rent for
the next few years until you
get your credit score built up,
satisfy the judgments, and get
yourself in a much stronger
position than you are now.
I wish you all the luck in
the world.
DEAR BRUCE:
A
friend of mine just applied
for his Social Security. He
was told when he reached
67 he would not have to
pay taxes on the Social
Security monies he received.
Is this true or not? When I
called the Social Security
Administration, they didnt
know anything about this. He
will receive over $2,000 a
month. -- S.A.
DEAR S.A.: It will
depend on how much money
he receives, but the likelihood
is that with a $2,000-a-month
income (unless he is almost
without any other income),
he will have to pay taxes
on a portion of the Social
Security.
I cant imagine why
the Social Security office
couldnt give you information on this matter. If you can
tell the representative how
much money your friend is
receiving outside of Social
Security and then add his
Social Security payment to
that number, the representative should be able to determine whether taxes will be
due, and if so, how much per
month

DEAR BRUCE: My husband and I have a sizable

amount of money in stocks.
We pay taxes on the earnings each year. What would
be the tax liabilities to us
were we to give some of the
stocks to our children and/or
grandchildren? Would there
be immediate tax liabilities
to them upon receipt? -- S.B.
DEAR S.B.: Theres
nothing to complain about
if youre paying taxes every
year because you made money in stocks. You asked about
liabilities if you were to give
some of the stocks to your
children.
Each year, you could give
up to $14,000 per person and
there will be no tax liability
to you or to the children who
receive the stocks. After that,
taxes on any money earned
from those stocks would be
their responsibility, and I
hope that they have to pay
a lot of taxes because that
means they are making money.
Any money you wish to
give above the legal amount
in any calendar year would
be subject to the appropriate
gift taxes.
DEAR BRUCE: Since
interest rates have been so
low, I have left my IRA money in an IRA money market account hoping things
would turn around. I dont
plan on using the money and
am now thinking of putting
it in an annuity (Knights of
Columbus) or a life insurance
policy. But Ill have to pay a
huge amount of money to the
government (around 25 percent) if I put it in a life insurance policy. This really bothers me since it goes against
the idea of an IRA, but the
return is so much more for
my beneficiaries (almost
double) if I pass as early as
the first year. What do you
think? -- C.L.
DEAR C.L.: Interest
rates are low no matter where
you left your IRA money.
Unless it was invested in the
market, your money has been
earning extremely little interest, and when you consider
inflation, youve been losing
money.
You mentioned putting
money into an annuity with
a specific organization or a
life insurance policy. I have
no problem with the organization, but I do have every
problem with many types of
annuities.
You say you will have
to pay a huge amount to the
government if you put the
money in a life insurance
policy, but I have no idea
how that can be. If you want
to drop me another note and
explain, I would be very happy to comment.
DEAR BRUCE: Eight
years ago I fell off the roof
and broke my neck. We were
told I would never recover.
My wife then took it upon
herself to divorce me and
manipulate things to put me
into great debt. I am trying to
put all that behind me.

EOE M/F/D/V
LAS VEGAS (AP) Does anyone

just watch TV anymore? The dramatic
shift toward online and mobile viewing
is driving television set makers to design
as much for streaming video as for
watching broadcast or cable channels.
Traditional TV is far from dead,
but these days viewers care less about
watching shows live and even prefer
saving certain series to watch all at once
in an evening or weekend of bingewatching. Broadcast networks and hundreds of cable channels share viewer
attention with thousands of online services, including amateurs creating their
own series on YouTube. Already, Netflix
has outbid traditional channels for hits
such as House of Cards. And Dish
this week announced it will sell online
access to a bundle of channels including
live sports network ESPN for just $20
a month. Online video will account for
a third of all video viewing in 2020, up
from about 10 percent in 2013, predicts
The Diffusion Group, a research firm
that specializes in Internet video.
So how to keep the television set,
that focal point of the American living
room for decades, relevant? Design for
online video.
At the International CES gadget
show this week in Las Vegas, TV makers unveiled new models with 4K resolution, or four times the clarity offered
by todays high definition TVs. They are
pushing the features even though not a
single TV channel is yet available in 4K.
But Internet services such as Netflix,
Amazon and M-Go are starting to offer
4K video.
Sony on Monday promised to create more 4K content to watch on those
sets. Four popular shows from its entertainment division - The Goldbergs,
The Blacklist, Masters of Sex and
The Night Shift - will soon be available in 4K and its working with partners including Netflix and YouTube to

and ovens are hot,
and that they can
cause serious cuts
and burns. But when
youre in a rush
or a post-workday
daze, its easy to
make a mistake,
says ShopSmart, the
shopping magazine
from the publisher of
Consumer Reports.
Accidents
often
happen
because
people
havent
thought everything
through
before
starting to cook, says
Elizabeth Briggs, a
chef and Culinary
Institute of America
professor. Here are
some safety tips
from Briggs and
ShopSmarts
own
experts:
KNIVES
Lacerations caused
by knives of all kinds
(not just the kitchen
type) affected more
than 350,000 people
in 2012. Dull knives
are actually more
dangerous than sharp
ones, because they
require more pressure
to use and their worn
edge can cause the
knife to slip off food

DEAR ABBY: I am 30 and my
husband, Brent, is 35. We have
had some financial troubles lately
and recently had to move in with my
mother-in-law.
My question is, how old should
a child be before his mother quits
walking around naked in front of him?
My mother-in-law still walks around
completely nude in front of Brent and
his 39-year-old brother. Although she
is in good health, she always seems to
need Brents help getting in and out of
the shower.
She also parades nude in front of me,
and it makes me very uncomfortable.
I have talked to Brent about it a few
times, and he said shes been this way
his whole life.
Is this normal behavior? Am I
overreacting? I have a daughter, and
I dont get naked in front of her. How
do I approach this without causing
hurt feelings? -- COVERED UP IN

husband was raised, this behavior
WAS normal. I am puzzled, however,

DEAR ABBY: My sister has been

seeing a married man for two years.
He has told her the only reason he
is staying in this loveless marriage
is for his daughter (standard lie of a
cheating husband).
His wife found out midway through
this relationship, but forgave him
when he swore he would stop, which
of course he didnt. When I told my
sister how wrong this relationship is
and that she deserves better, I ended
up alienating her.
I have recently learned that his
wife just had a second child, and my
sister is pregnant, too. Im sick to my
stomach with all of this. I told her
how crazy her situation is, but she
refuses to see how horrible the man
she loves really is. She says she is
fine raising this child alone, and if her
lover is in their lives, then she will be
satisfied with that.
I am the only one freaking out about
this. How do I deal with it and not
totally lose my sister? -- FREAKING

DEAR FREAKING OUT: Your
sister is an adult. She has made her
choices and may have to learn the
hard way what you have been trying
to tell her. Realize that as much as you
love her, you cannot live her life for

and into your fingers.

To prevent injuries:
-- Keep knives
sharpened.
-- Use a cutting
board that doesnt
have
a
slippery
surface.
-- Cut away from
your body.
-- Store knives
in a block, not in
a drawer, where
they can easily slice
fingers.
OVEN/RANGE
Last year, almost
40,000 people were
injured from these
appliances.
Kids
are especially at
risk if theyre not
supervised and climb
on an open door,
causing the range to
tip over. To prevent
injuries:
-- Install an antitip bracket if your
current range does
not have one to
ensure that it is
securely in place.
-- Never place
heavy roasts and
other food on an
oven door thats been
left open.
-- Drape a towel
on the oven handle
while a pan is cooling
to remind you that
its still hot.
-- Prevent injuries
caused by shattering
glass bakeware by
avoiding these nonos: taking the dish
directly from the
freezer to the oven
or vice versa, putting
the dish directly on
a burner or under a
broiler, adding liquid
after the dish is hot,
putting a hot dish
on a cold or damp
surface, or using a
dish thats chipped or
cracked.
COOKWARE
More than 37,000
people were injured
from using cookware
in 2012. Hot handles
can burn, ShopSmart
warns. And the food
youre cooking can
catch fire. To prevent
injuries:
-- Never step
away
from
the
kitchen when youre
cooking.
-- Always use oven
mitts to pick up hot
pans.
-- If a grease fire
starts, dont douse
the fire with water
or try to pick up
the
burning pan.
A cookie sheet or
lid can smother
the flames; keep it
covered for 10 to 15
minutes to make sure
that the fire is out.
You can also throw
baking soda on the
flames.
-- Keep a fire
extinguisher
with
a minimum 5-B:C
rating on hand.
SLICERS AND
CHOPPERS
They caused more
than 21,000 injuries
in 2012, including
cuts from the blades.
-- Dont leave
motorized models on
for a long time; they
can overheat.
-- Never reach into
a slicer or a chopper.
There is no need
to hand wash and
subject your fingers
to injury; many parts
are dishwasher-safe
-- including blades.
M I C R O WAV E
OVENS
More than 10,000
people were hurt
last
year
using
microwaves. Burns
were most common.
-- Remember to
be careful when
removing a wrapper
or cover on a
microwaved
dish;
steam can escape and
cause a nasty burn.
-Food
can
heat unevenly in
a microwave, so
use caution when
touching or tasting.
-- Let food cool
for a minute or two
before removing it
from the microwave.
BLENDERS
More than 9,600
injuries
occurred
last year involving
blenders. To prevent
injuries:
-Avoid
the
temptation to put
your hand inside,
especially if its
plugged in. Most
blenders dont have
safety
interlocks,
so
you
could
accidentally turn it
on and mangle your
hand.
-To
clean
blades
without
touching
them,
add
dishwashing
detergent and hot
water to the blender
container and let it
run on high for a
minute. Unplug, then
rinse.

Sticking to the status

quo will not enable you to
move forward. Changes are
necessary, but staying in
control will also weigh heavily
on your shoulders. Falling
in with someone elses plans
will lead to a professional
competition that doesnt bode
well. Do your own thing.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19) -- Dont upset friends or
family by neglecting to nurture
important relationships. Take
time out of your busy schedule
to listen to and make plans with
the people who mean the most
to you.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 19) -- A professional

partnership will bring financial
rewards. If you spend time
with people who share your
interests, it will spark your
imagination and motivate you
to pursue your goals.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March

Being well informed will give
you an advantage when faced
with competition. Update your
resume and strive to advance.
ARIES (March 21-April

opportunity. Consider home
improvements or a change of

Safety Service Director Shane Coleman announced
Delphos did receive a $22,007 Ohio Natureworks Program
grant for improvements at the Delphos-Gillmor Reservoir on
Shenk Road. Coleman had proposed the city apply for the
grant to install a better walking trail around the top of the
reservoir.
We have a lot on our plate right now with the wastewater
treatment plant so I will pushing this back a little, Coleman

said. I will get more information on costs associated with
upgrading the path.
Council will receive an update on the progress of finding a
solution for issues at the wastewater treatment as early at Jan.
19 but more likely on Feb. 2.
We had our final meeting with potential suppliers and
Poggemeyer will work out a presentation outlining the
options, the time frame to complete them and the cost,
Coleman said.
The city has been struggling with failed membrane technology at the plant and is seeking solutions to make the plant
more productive and efficient.
Coleman also reiterated the citys policy on snow plowing.
We will not get the plows out unless we get three or more
inches of snow, Coleman said. We will monitor the situation and if we dont get three inches but feel the roads needs
attention, we will take care of them. We will be looking at
safety first.
He concluded his report with news on EMS billing.
Coleman has been in contact with a company that provides
billing and collection for EMS calls.
They told me we are doing a better job than they could on
collections, he said. They really couldnt offer me anything
that could compete with the results we have.
A $1,089.36 water/sewer bill was forgiven for a business in

on Oct. 20 and the Dec. 2 reading noted the usage was back
down in the normal range for that business. All voted yes with

It was an offer the White

House could and did refuse
in advance. If this bill
passes Congress, the president
wouldnt sign it, presidential
press secretary Josh Earnest
said before Boehner spoke. He
said the measure would undermine a review process underway by the administration.
The events spilled out rapidly on a day that offered a
glimpse of the political forces
at work in an era of divided government the intraparty struggle among House
Republicans, the coordination that GOP leaders in
both houses showed in pursuing a conservative agenda
and the blocking power of a
Democratic president.
There was well choreographed pageantry as well on
a day Republicans installed a
54-46 majority in the Senate
and took 246 of the 435 seats
in the House, the most in more
than 60 years.
Vice President Joe Biden
presided over swearing-in
ceremonies in the Senate,
leading new senators and reelected veterans alike in an
age-old oath to support and
defend the Constitution of the
United States. He reserved
his warmest greeting for former Vice President and Sen.
Walter F. Mondale, 87, who
accompanied Minnesota Sen.
Al Franken down the chambers carpeted center aisle to
an oath-taking.
The House played host to a
younger crowd as lawmakers
were sworn in for two-year
terms children in their best
clothes, babies in their parents
arms. Mommy, mommy,
yelled out one girl, no longer
content to sit in the lap of her
congressman-father.
One powerful player was
absent but eager to show
he would be back soon.
Democratic Sen. Harry Reid
of Nevada, now the minority leader, issued a statement
saying his doctors ordered
him to stay away from his
office so injuries suffered last
week when a piece of exercise
equipment broke can continue to heal. The statement
disclosed for the first time that
the 75-year-old lawmaker had
suffered a concussion as well
as broken facial bones and
ribs.
Republicans were eager
to turn to an agenda tailored
to suit conservatives. They
have signaled plans to write a
budget that eliminates federal
deficits in 10 years or less and
to pass an overhaul of the tax
code as well as try and reduce
federal regulations they say
are stifling job creation.
By days end, they also
won approval to make sure
that smaller businesses that
hire veterans dont trigger
a requirement in the health
care law requiring coverage
for employees. The vote was
412-0.
Hoping to smooth their
path for future measures,
House Republicans passed a
rules change permitting congressional scorekeepers to
assume that tax cuts increase
revenue to the government
rather than reduce it. That
would make it easier to show
a balanced budget with fewer
painful spending cuts. The
concept, known as dynamic
scoring, has been an article
of faith among conservatives
since the Reagan era three
decades ago.
Many pre-exercise health assessments

can be found online, Frieson said. A
very good one that I know of can be found
at myexerciseplan.com. If people are still
unsure, they should see a doctor.
Frieson said the next step is to make
a plan of action - set realistic long-term
and short-term goals and dates to achieve
those goals. He explained the goals may be
health-related such as weight, blood pressure or glucose levels or they could be fitness benchmarks or a combination of both.
Document goals by writing them down
so they can be revisited to ensure staying on
track, he said.
While setting goals, people should plan
how they will achieve those goals; join a
gym, buy a video series or make a go of it
alone?
I personally recommend seeking the
guidance of a fitness professional, Frieson
detailed. A good trainer can help show
people how to exercise safely and effectively.
He said whether individuals choose to
hire a professional or not, they should do
some research and decide what exercise
they would enjoy. The Internet is a great
resource for information on exercise, but be
wary of solicitors selling fitness plans and
supplements.
Planning is also setting aside time to
exercise, with no excuses to get in the way,
he advised. Put on your calendar the days
and times you will exercise, just as you
would an important appointment or event.
Treat it as such and do everything in your
power to make it happen.
Frieson recommends setting up a free,
easy to use workout plan on workoutgenerator.net, which has a blog and Facebook has
countless exercise support groups. He said
it is helpful to get a workout buddy and/or
join a group on social media to help with
encouragement and to stay on goal.
Getting with other like-minded individuals trying to achieve similar goals is a
great motivator and positive peer pressure
can go a long way in motivating people to
keep at it, Frieson added. Get the whole
family involved; go on hikes, do calisthenics together, bike rides, just get active
together. It will improve and strengthen
your relationships while getting the whole
family healthy.
The American College of Sports Medicine
(ACSM) recommends most adults engage in
moderate-intensity aerobic exercise training
for a total of at least 150 minutes per week,
vigorous-intensity training for at least 75 minutes per week, or a combination of the two.
Adults should also perform resistance
exercises for each of the major muscle

groups and exercises involving balance,
agility and coordination 2-3 times per week.
Flexibility exercises should be performed
at least twice/week on all the major muscle groups, which helps improve range of
motion and prevent injury.
Frieson suggests modifying exercise programs according to an individuals physical
activity habits, physical abilities, health status, exercise responses and goals. He said
the most common mistakes people make
when starting an exercise routine usually
involves a lack of knowledge. A common
mistake he sees too often is people not exercising at a high enough intensity.
Sure, light activity is good for you but
to improve your health you must elevate
your heart rate and engage in activity that is
a least moderately vigorous, he explained.
Another mistake, on the opposite end, is
when people start a routine and overdo it.
Over-training can lead to injuries and possibly make people ill.
Many beginners put themselves in a
routine way beyond their fitness level and
find themselves demoralized by the difficulty of it, he cautioned. It is very important
to adapt a fitness routine suitable for your
fitness level and progress from there.
Additionally, he sees people attempting
exercises beyond their physical capability
and/or using improper form which can very
easily lead to injury. Using improper form
reduces the effectiveness of a particular
exercise. A good fitness professional can
show people how to exercise with proper
form and modify an exercise to suit an individuals fitness level.
People desiring to lose weight and
improve their health must also take proper
nutrition into consideration.
Going out to eat and holiday events
can easily wreck anyones diet plans, he
detailed. Plan ahead before going out,
view the menu online and find some healthy
options. Try filling-up a little on healthy
foods and water before going to a gettogether to lessen the intake of the highcaloric foods.
Sometimes professional help is needed
to get the guidance to make a significant
improvement in health and weight management. There are resources available such as
the new Weight Management Program at
St. Ritas.
We have a team of qualified professionals who can help people seeking to improve
their life, he added We offer medically
supervised weight loss, as well as Bariatric
surgery option.

Chapman told council members the new

scheduled to be replaced at the end of this
week.
As of today, the nanofiltration discharge
pipe was checked and has been re-calibrated, he said. Both projects are considered
warranty work and will be no additional
cost to the village.
He said crews will be doing a little winter work to the inside of the high service

replace deteriorating plaster. They have also
removed a number of unused conduits and
wiring.
Additionally, over the next few months,
we will replace the two check valves for
high service pumps 1 and 2, Chapman said.
Chapman said over the next several
months, village administration will be performing a community-wide Income Survey.
The surveys will determine the villages
LMI (Low and Moderate Income) range
and for many of the programs available
for construction funding, the village must
prove that the project area is LMI in order
to receive funding, he explained.
These projects include, but are not lim-
ited to, water line replacements and storm

sewer upgrades on SR 117 within the corporation limits.
Chapman emphasized that all information associated with the income survey will
be kept confidential and the survey itself,
will be performed and viewed by a thirdparty organization, which is WSOS/Ohio
RCAP. This organization has been involved
with all of the villages previous income
surveys.
More importantly, these projects may
not be completed without a successful survey, he said. Full resident participation
in the upcoming income survey is critical
and we ask that anyone with questions or
concerns with this survey, please call the
Utilities office at 419-647-6263.
Chapman said he has begun working on
the 2015 Tree Maintenance Program and
will be accepting bids from contractors until
early February 2015, with the project wrapping up by the end of March 2015.
We have several critical trees located
within the public right-of-way that need
to be removed before they cause damage
to public and/or personal property, he
explained.
The next village council meeting will be
at 7 p.m. on January 19 in the municipal
building.
rescue contracts with Washington and Marion townships.

I think we need to start having discussion now on those
contracts, Clement said. We always wait until the month
before those contracts are up and we never have time to really
get into it. These are sometimes hard and difficult discussion
and we need to start having them.
Coleman said he and Fire Chief Kevin Streets had already
had several conversations on the matter and Streets would be
able to provide whatever information council needed to move
forward on those discussions.
Just let me or Kevin know what information you want to
have in front of you and well make sure you get it, Coleman
added.
Clement also asked if someone could invite a representative from the Van Wert County Economic Development group
to a meeting to fill council in on what they doing and what
direction the city may need to take to become more attractive
to business and industry.
Councilman Jim Fortener reported a citizen had called him
with a problem and a city worker responded within 20 minutes
and had the problem resolved quickly.
We always hear about the complaints and when someone
is upset, Fortener said. I thought it would be nice to report
a case where the resident was very satisfied with the events
that transpired.
Marsha Mueller will remain clerk of council with Sherryl
George as deputy clerk.
The Allen County Republican Central Committee, along
with Delphos members of the Van Wert Republican Central
Committee, will interview applicants and appoint an individual to fill the unexpired term of Kevin Osting. Interviews
will be held on Thursday.
Gunman, 1 other
dead in shooting
at veterans clinic
EL PASO, Texas (AP)
A gunman opened fire at
a veterans medical clinic
in West Texas on Tuesday,
killing one other person,
officials said. The gunman
was also killed.
Investigators, who took
no questions from reporters during a Tuesday night
news conference, did not
say whether the gunman
killed himself or was killed
by someone else. They also
provided no details on the
victim or the gunman and
no possible motive for the
shooting.
Fort Bliss Maj. Gen.
Stephen M. Twitty said the
shooting happened at the
El Paso Veterans Affairs
Health Care Systems clinic, which is in a complex
that includes the William
Beaumont Army Medical
Center. The entire complex
was locked down Tuesday
as authorities responded to
the shooting.
The alleged shooter
is dead, and we have one
casualty. That casualty is
deceased. All other VA
patients and staff are safe,
said Twitty, commanding officer of nearby Fort
Bliss.
Everything is under
control and there is no
immediate threat to Fort
Bliss or the local community, Twitty said.
The VA clinic will be
closed today, said its acting
director, Peter Dancy.
The FBI, which is leading the investigation, has
hundreds of potential witnesses, many of whom
were patients or would-be
patients at the clinic, said
Douglas Lindquist, special
agent in charge of the FBI
El Paso office.
Those people were

here seeking medical
assistance, so we understand the difficulties that
this situation presents to
them and were trying to
expeditiously get through
those hundreds of witnesses to find out details about
this incident, Lindquist
said.
The VA clinic came
under scrutiny last year
after a federal audit
showed it had some of the
nations longest wait times
for veterans trying to see a
doctor for the first time. A
survey of hundreds of West
Texas veterans last year
found that they waited an
average of more than two
months to see a Veterans
Affairs mental health professional and even longer
to see a physician.
U.S.
Rep.
Beto
ORourke commissioned
that survey of more than
690 veterans living in El
Paso County. ORourke
also was active in a congressional probe into long
waiting times in the VA
health care system.
In a statement issued
by his office Tuesday, the
El Paso Democrat said his
thoughts and prayers are
with the men and women
at the El Paso VA clinic.
The VA said in a statement that it is deeply saddened by the tragic situation that has occurred in El
Paso, and we are actively
working with our partners
at Fort Bliss to investigate
this matter.
The safety and continued care of our veterans
and the staff will be our
focus throughout this situation, the agency said.
