Daley takes council seat; 2 more to fill


BY GREG SCHERGER
DHI Media Correspondent
news@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS Delphos City
Council met for the first June meeting Monday evening and passed a
variety of legislation.
At the onset of the meeting, council members welcomed Andy Daley,
the newest council member, now
occupying the council seat vacated
by Andy Knueve, who has assumed
the Law Directors position, vacated
recently by Clayton Osting.
Daley will assume the committee assignments of chairman of
Legislation, and will be a member of
the Safety Services and City Utilities
committees.
Mayor Michael Gallmeier noted
that anyone interested in the positions of councilman-at-large and city
council president should contact the
Allen County Board of Elections by
August to list as a write in candidate for the respective posts. Current

Councilman-at-Large Joe Martz and


City Council President Dan Hirn are
not seeking re-election in November
for the positions they now hold.
The new council and council
president positions are effective the
first of the year.
Gallmeier also indicated the city
will upgrade the mandatory recording system for all council meetings,
switching from a cassette tape based
system to a computer drive system
at a cost of $700, citing increased
operating costs, difficulty in securing cassette tapes and storage of the
same.
Safety Services Director Shane
Coleman state that pre-season pool
pass sales will remain available
through Sunday, indicating that
pre-season sale passes were up by 21
over 2014 at this point. The city pool
use is off to a slow start due to recent
unseasonably cold and wet weather.
Coleman also indicated that three
of four wells at Stadium Park, one at
Waterworks Park and one at Leisure

Park are viable and are used for park


watering at this time, not blended
with reservoir water. Plans are in
place to maintain and exercise the
wells, should they be needed for
general water use if the reservoir
experienced an unexpected problem.
At this time, the reservoir water
quality is reported as excellent.
Coleman noted that Brad Coil
will assume the position of assistant
superintendent of water, filling the
position formerly occupied by Butch
Lucas. Coil has a Class 3 Operators
license and has eight years of service
with the City of Van Wert Water
Department.
Plans were presented and
approved by council for the use of
city streets, sidewalks, request for
police protection and city property
including picnic tables and street
cleaning services for the annual
Canal Days celebration in Delphos,
slated this year for Sept. 17-20.

Edelbrock arraigned

LIMA Jennifer Ann


Edelbrock, owner of the
accounting firm EdelbrockReitz, LLC, was arraigned in
Lima Municipal Court early
Monday on a single bad check
charge. The charge stems
from an investigation into
alleged financial crimes conducted by the Ohio Bureau
of Criminal Identification
and Investigation and the
Edelbrock
Delphos Police Department.
On May 19, agents from BCIs special investigations,
crime scene and cyber crime units and officers from the
Delphos Police Department served a search warrant on
Edelbrocks Delphos business, confiscating paper documents, electronics and computer equipment. The warrant was
served subsequent to a number of complaints filed with the
Delphos Police Department over a period of several months
citing concerns about alleged financial mismanagement.

The Herald 3

Local/State
Van Wert County tops in area for value in SS benefits
BY STEVEN
COBURN-GRIFFIS
DHI Media Staff Writer

sgriffis@delphosherald.com

Despite warnings of
doom, mayhem and insolvency, social security benefits for Baby Boomers
and even GenXers are considered secure. At least,
thats the opinion issued by
SmartAsset, a New Yorkbased personal finance company that, in May, released a
Best of the Best places to live
on social security savings.
The brainchild of Franklin
Delano Roosevelts presidential administration, the Social
Security Board was established when FDR signed the
act into law on Aug. 14, 1935.
In 1946, the Board became
the Social Security Agency,
though its precepts remained
fundamentally unchanged for
those who contribute to the
fund: provide retirement ben-

efits to workers through a


mandated savings program,
assure some degree of financial solvency for the families of deceased members
through survivor and death
benefits and attend to the
needs of individuals who
suffer significant mental or
physical disabilities.
While some retirement
benefits are available to contributors as soon as they reach
62 years of age, full benefits,

throughout the United States,
retirees receive $1,294 per

Northwestern Ohio, however,
averages range higher and the
cost of living remains relatively low, creating a boon,
an opportunity for those
whose retirement incomes
are limited to social security
benefits. In each of Ohios

Free breakfast offers more


than just good nutrition

DELPHOS Its June and in Delphos,


that means pancakes. If youre a kid, anyway,
and you have the smarts to make your way
to St. Peter Lutheran Church. For six years,
parishioners at the church volunteers from the
community have offered a free breakfast to
the communitys kids every weekday from 8
to 9 am, June through August.
Sue McGue, who oversees the effort,
reported that on Monday, this years inaugural
day, 39 children made their way to the church
despite gray skies and cool weather. On
Tuesday morning, kids ate and kibitzed at half
of the dozen or so folding tables set up in the
churchs community room/kitchen. McGue
swept her arm to encompass the scene.
You can see we have even more today,
she said, grinning. Isnt it wonderful?
On top of breakfast which includes
plain, blueberry and chocolate chip pancakes,
juice and milk and occasionally eggs and
bacon visitors also receive a sack lunch
to take with them when they leave, an added
bonus the church began offering last year. The
kids fill out a form requesting their choice of
breakfast and, at the same time, what theyd
like for lunch.
We have people say we spoil them, we

vices these people need.


Not far behind Van Wert
are Mercer County, ranked at
number five in the state, and
Auglaize County, at number
7. Putnam County ranked in
at 17 in the state and 289 in
the nation, a placement that
still put it in the top ten percent of counties in the U.S.
While recognizing the importance of this statistic, Putnam
County COA Executive
Director Jodi Warnecke commented that family and community plays an even greater
role for seniors in the county.
Were a community that
helps each other, she said.
Family is here to help and
I think that s evident in different things that go on in
the community; that were
a community that helps one
another.
Although Allen Countys
numbers were considerably
lower 48 in the state and
915 in the nation the coun-

ty still placed in the top 30


percent, nationally.
We work in partnerships
with many organizations
and agencies here to create
a network of support for the
senior citizens, said Diane
Bishop, executive director of
the Allen County COA.
While these are encouraging statistics, social security benefits in the best of
circumstances provide just
slightly better than cost-of-

living expenses, the minimum necessary to simply get


by. The common thread in
advice provided by financial
advisors is the recommendation to start early, to save
in addition to those monies
secured through social security deductions. This is the
key to creating an even more
secure future. Even so, its
good to know that, for many
in the area, home is where
your money goes furthest.

give them so much, McGue said dismissively. For some of these kids, this is their meal
for the day.
But, while thats certainly the focus, its
not all about nutrition. The kids are taught
some elemental skills, basic courtesies and
common sensibilities that will stand them well
outside of the programs boundaries.
The kids are taught to push in their chairs
when they leave, McGue explained. They
have to bring their own plates up and they
have to clean the food off. And we watch
when theyre throwing food away, were pretty strict about that. These are things that they
should learn.

Funding for the program come from a Peter Lutheran Church on Tuesday. (DHI Media/Steven Coburn-Griffis)
variety of sources including community and
civic groups, like the Delphos Running Club
and the Optimists. And, as the program isnt
exclusively for any specific economic class,
children of more affluent families also attend,
often bearing donations. McGue celebrates
the differences, remarking that, as with teaching their charges basic etiquette along with
a nutritious meal, this intermingling offers a
whole new level of opportunity.
I think its good, because theyre mixing together, she said. Its not some little
cliqueish thing. A lot of times, someones
sitting by themselves and after a few weeks,
someone goes and sits beside them. It works.

Next Generation
From STEM to STEAM: Arts amid the sciences
BY STEVEN
COBURN-GRIFFIS
DHI Media Staff Writer
sgriffis@delphosherald.com

S.T.E.M. an acronym engendered in the early 2000s that encompasses science, technology, engineering and mathematics is a
significant educational response to
concerns that younger Americans
lack the skills necessary to compete
in the 21st Century. Or, quite possibly, was the educational response.
Increasingly, the arts, a component
left to simmer on the back burner of educational priorities when
not eliminated in its entirety, is
receiving greater attention and even
reintegration into school district
curricula. So, what do you get when
Art gets thrown into the S.T.E.M.
curriculum mix? S.T.E.A.M. And,
according to some, thats better than
cooking with gas.
Spearheaded by the Rhode Island

School of Design, this renaissance


of art in education, according to its
proponents, addresses not just flexible thinking, but allows for greater
creativity in both problem solving
and the mechanics of invention,
of engineering. This resurgence is
garnering support from pop culture
icons and politicos, academics and
artists.
Adam Savage, one of the stars of
the television series Mythbusters,
recently commented, If you want
the kids test scores up, bring back
band and bring back shop and get
kids actually learning stuff instead
of teaching them how to take a
test, and Microsofts Paul Allen
said that arts are an important
catalyst for learning, discovery and
achievement in our country.
In Washington, a recently
formed 20-member Congressional
S.T.E.A.M. caucus lobbies for
change and legislators are considering a resolution that will give

the idea more teeth. Introduced


by Representative Jim Langevin
(D-RI), the resolution would designate the month of May as S.T.E.M.to-S.T.E.A.M. month.
More than half of Americans
rate the importance of arts education a 10 on a 1-10 scale,
Langevin said. Arts education will
allow us to create new industries
and jobs, boosting our economy.
While never having given significant consideration to S.T.E.A.M.,
Delphos Public School District
Superintendent Kevin Wolfe asserted his support for the arts in education, commenting that the district
maintains art, band, choir and show
choir opportunities for its students.
The more diverse you can be,
the better it is for students, so the
arts are doing well here, Wolfe
said. When you go to college, they
want you to have a wide range of
experience because society has such
a wide range.

While the push for reinvigorating arts education in schools


is reaching new levels, the effort
is far from new. In 2007, Joan
Platz, Information and Research
Director at the Ohio Alliance for
Arts Education, made the case for
S.T.E.A.M. before the acronym was
out in common usage.
Music and the arts are essential educational components for
all students to learn, including
students who are pursuing careers
in the STEM areas, she wrote.
Educational opportunities in
music and the arts first and foremost prepare students for competitive careers in the $316 billion
communication, entertainment, and
technology industries. The growth
of the visual technologies alone,
from computer graphics to digital video, has had a tremendous
impact on our nations economy
and the global economy. According

Burenga, Sarah Verville, Tyra McClain, TJ Stoller. Ian Robenalt, Grant Slusher (back
row) Lydia Miller, Elissa Miglin, Rachel Spath, Jamie Burenga, Kayla Krites, Ryan Rager,
Katlyn Wendel, Sophia Miller, James Defore, Rebekah Fast, and Annette Hoverman

to The Creative Industries Report,


published by Americans for the
Arts, more than 548,000 businesses
nationwide are related to the arts
and employ 2.99 million people. In
Ohio there are 16,000 arts-related
industries that employ 89,000 people. Many of these arts-related jobs
require employees to understand
and apply higher order concepts in
the STEM content areas in addition
to having a preparation in the arts.
Taking the concept back even further some 550 years S.T.E.A.M.
proponents point to the virtually
immortal artist, entrepreneur and
inventor, Leonardo da Vinci, whose
understanding of math, engineering
and anatomy led to breakthroughs
across the realms of science.
Learning never exhausts the
mind, da Vinci is famously quoted
as saying, a philosophy that leaves
the door open for every type of educational opportunity.

What if? not the question to ask ACME


This weekend is the OHSAA State
Track and Field Championships held
at OSU.
Its been a pleasure to cover for many
a year now Im too old; I forgot how
many! and its something I look forward to every year.
One thing that I am especially glad to
watch and its a move the Ohio High
School Athletic Association should be
given kudos for is the Wheelchair
events.
It is one of those things that you wish
didnt need to take place after all,
think about it; someone had to get hurt
or be stricken with a condition that has
deprived them of the use of their legs
but this is a way to try and make the best
of a terrible situation.
These boys and girls should be
applauded for their heart, courage and
character for not giving in to despair and
hopelessness but still have that champions heart pounding within them.
I can tell you that whenever I get the
chance to watch these races, it brings a
lump in my heart.
I am sure that the competitors have
the same feelings and emotions when
they see thousands of fans assembled
at the Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium
many of them they have never met
or wouldnt know them from Adam
stand on their feet and cheer as if they
are old friends.
The competitors still have the same
old feelings of elation when they win or
do well and and disappointment when
they dont win or do as well as they like.

DELPHOS

The
sixth
annual
Nathan
Miller Memorial Baseball
Tournament held at Stadium
Park has been growing
steadily ever since its first
year in 2009.
This years edition attracted 20 teams and a few more
were put on a waiting list.
Weather has often hampered events and many times
threatened them, such as
Fridays opening ceremonies.

However, Mother Nature


had never stopped them in
their tracks.
Unfortunately
for
Nathans dad and mom, Sam
and Angie Miller, there is a
first time for everything.
Such as this past Sunday.
Stadium Park is normally
filled with baseball fans on
the final day of the tournament and the action is fast
and furious but heavy rains
Sunday forced postponement
of games for the first time
ever in the six years of the
ever-growing event.
Weve had rain in the
past and had to re-arrange

games but never had an entire


day wiped out by weather,
explained Angie Miller. The
crew at the Delphos Parks
does an incredible job keeping the fields ready for play
but with the forecast for rain
all Sunday morning, we made
the tough choice to postpone
games.
When that decision was
made at that time, there was
every hope that the games
could be made up, daunting a
job though it may be to get it
accomplished.
The job gets tougher
behind the scenes for the
directors of the 3-day tourna-

ment. Calls need to be made


to check field availability,
line up umpires and workers
and get games re-scheduled,
she explained. The games
could be possibly be made up
next weekend or during the
week; it just depends on a lot
of factors.
Unfortunately, since that
time, it has become impossible to reschedule the games
to the satisfaction of everyone with the continuing play of the Tri-County
League and Delphos Minor
League and therefore, the
remainder of the tournament
has been canceled.

Looking for
Work? Plan a
Money-Smart
Job Search
BY JASON ALDERMAN

A successful job search goes well beyond snagging the title


and the paycheck. From the day you start looking until the day
youre hired, there are strategic and financial issues to consider
that may be more valuable to you in the long run.
To start, job seekers should always begin with a plan to
promote themselves both in person and online, and some
aspects of that process may
be tax deductible. Keep in
mind that if you are already
employed, you may want
to consider certain timing and legal issues that
will define how and when
you search. And finally,
taking the job requires a
close look at benefits.
It makes sense to discuss
any potential job search with
a qualified financial advisor
who can evaluate your current
financial circumstances as
well as offer tips on how to
strengthen your preparations
Alderman
for retirement and other goals.
Start with market research
and improving your public profile. A recent Jobvite study notes
that Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn profiles are the ranking
social media options reaching employers and for industry hiring and pay projections, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
(BLS) Occupational Outlook Handbook (http://www.bls.gov/
ooh/) is a wide-ranging and constantly updated online resource
for that data.
Check your credit reports. Remember that many employers
screen applicants creditworthiness as part of their candidate
review. Go to AnnualCreditReport.com (https://www.annualcreditreport.com/index.action) for free access to reports from the three
major credit agencies Experian, TransUnion and Equifax to
check for potential errors or credit negatives you need to repair.
Evaluating search expenses and potential tax savings come
next. Here are a few of the current rules listed by the IRS .
Make note that your current job status will affect how the rules
apply to you:
Expenses may qualify as deductions only for a job search
in your current line of work. You wont be able to deduct
expenses for a job search in a new occupation.
You cant deduct job search expenses if youre looking for
a job for the first time or if theres been what the IRS calls a
long break between your last job and beginning your search
for a new one.
If you travel to look for a job in a qualified job search, you
may be able to deduct the costs of all or part of the trip.

Swimming more than


just a recreational activity
Many people view swimming
as a purely recreational activity,
but the health benefits of swimming should not be overlooked.
Swimming is a great way to get
fit, providing great cardiovascular
exercise thats easy on the joints.
Swimming engages a variety of
muscle groups, making it a great
way to get a complete workout.
The following are some additional benefits of including swimming
as part of your exercise regimen.
When swimming, muscles
are worked hard, which can help
build strength. Much of that work
can be traced to the fact that water
is far more resistant than air, forcing a body in water to work harder
to move than it would if it were
walking on solid ground.
Water buoyancy can enable
people to do exercises that would
be jarring on land. In water,
roughly 90 percent of the body is
buoyant. That means working out
in the water will put less strain on
the knees and hips when it comes
to performing high-impact jumping exercises.
Swimming is a great cardiovascular workout. Swimming can
elevate the heart rate to an optimal level and work the lungs, too.
Pushing oneself harder and harder
can help to burn calories and lead

to weight loss.
Just about every muscle is
used when a body is swimming.
Swimming targets the shoulders,
back, arms, legs, hips, and gluteals without requiring complicated workout equipment.
Swimming may help improve coordination, balance and
posture. Swimming also may
promote greater flexibility by
stretching the body through fluid
movements.
While swimming is often considered a relaxing activity tailor-made for warm summer days,
it also provides a complete and
demanding workout that can benefit the body in a variety of ways.

Did You Know?

Fireflies are often


seen lighting up the
night sky on warm
evenings. They are
particularly abundant
during the summer
months. One reason
that fireflies glow is to
attract mates. Males
will flash, and females
will respond to mates
they find interesting.
Fireflies also may
glow to avoid predators. The luciferase
enzyme in firefly cells
causes a chemical re-

action that stimulates


light, a phenomenon
called
bioluminescence. Fireflies are
filled with lucibufagins, a poor-tasting
chemical that turns off
predators from attacking the blinking bug.
Some fireflies cannot
light up at all and use
pheromones to attract
mates. Fireflies can be
fun to catch and release and also beneficial to have around. In
the larval stage, fire-

flies will eat destructive insects. Adult


fireflies may feed on
nectar and could help
to pollinate plants.
Despite their name,
fireflies arent really
flies. They actually
are a type of beetle.
Fireflies are difficult
to spot during the day
because theyre often resting on leaves
or plants. Its only at
night when their brilliant light show comes
alive.

immerse themselves
in the sights, sounds
and smells of nature.
But for many people,
this time of year also
marks the start of
allergy season and
spending time outdoors can become
downright uncomfortable for them.
The
American
College of Allergy,
Asthma & Immunology says nasal allergies affect approximately 50 million
people in the United
States. Allergic diseases, including asthma, are the fifth most
prevalent
chronic
diseases among people of all ages and the
third most common
in children. Allergic
rhinitis, or hay fever,
can occur in spring,
summer and/or early fall. People who
experience hay fever
often can attribute
their symptoms to
sensitivity to pollens
from trees, grasses,
weeds, or airborne
mold spores.
No two allergy
sufferers are alike, so
medications that may
work for one person
may be only mildly
effective for another. Many medica-

tions can cause side


effects, which may
be just as frustrating
as the initial allergy
symptoms.
Treatments may target
sneezing and itching
but fail to clear up
congestion. Drowsiness, dry mouth
and nasal irritation
may be side effects
of common allergy
drugs.
People who want
to avoid allergy medication can look to
natural remedies to
alleviate their symptoms. Whether used
alone or in concert
with traditional medicine, these remedies
may make spending
time outdoors more
pleasant.
Try probiotics.
Probiotics,
those
friendly bacteria that
reside in the digestive system, can do
more than just treat
an upset stomach.
Naturopathic doctors
say that probiotics
also can influence the
immune system and
may help strengthen its response to
common allergens.
Since probiotics are
good for replenishing healthy bacteria
in the body anyway,

many people may


want to keep taking
them once their allergy symptoms have
come and gone.
Use neti pots or
saline sprays. A small
amount of saltwater
can rinse away allergens, such as pollen,
that get lodged in the
nose. These rinses
also can help clear
up congestion and
flush out any other
irritants.
Load up on omega-3s. A German
study published in
the journal Allergy
found that participants who ate foods
rich in omega-3 fatty
acids were less likely to suffer allergy
symptoms than those
who didnt regularly eat these foods.
Omega-3s can help
fight inflammation.
Drinking more fluids and using spices
in cooking can help
flush out allergens as
well.
Dont forget vitamin C. Vitamin C
is an immune-system
booster and may help
prevent the formation of histamine in
the body, a substance
responsible for many
allergy symptoms.

Natural ways to beat seasonal allergies


The arrival of
warmer
weather
changes the landscape
completely.
Animals come out of
hiding and hibernation while trees and
flowers bloom anew.
This season can be
an exciting time for
naturalists and lovers
of the great outdoors
because they can

If Australian director George


Miller never did anything else,
hed forever be remembered
as the man who gave the
world the post-apocalyptic
road-thrills drama Mad Max.
Millers movie, in 1979, was
a low-budget landmark of
gonzo filmmaking that became
an action-adventure icon,
spawning two sequels, both
starring Mel Gibson and both
directed by Miller.
Now Millerwho went on
to produce, write and/or direct
other acclaimed films, including
Dead Calm, Lorenzos Oil,
Happy Feet and Babehas
returned to where he started,
and this explosively revvedup reboot, epic in every sense
of the word, may become the
crowning achievement of his
already impressive career. Its
big, bold and brash and makes
the loudest bang, by a long
shot, of any movie this year so
farif not any movie of any
recent year. Its grotesque and
gorgeous and glorious all at
once, both brutal and beautiful,
a thing of cinematic wonder
and wizardry, a circus of eyepopping, old-school stunt work,
and a crazy orchestration of
such sheer, all-out gusto,
spunk, energy, imagination
and nerve, it makes most other
blockbusters, superhero sagas
and special-effect blowouts
look like they were made with
doodles, doodads and trinkets
from a toy box.
Millers new Max grabs
you from the first scene and
never lets go as it establishes
its central character, its parched
desert setting and its harsh
parameters. My name is Max,

Ohio Department of Agriculture cancels all 2015 live bird exhibitions


INFORMATION
SUBMITTED

REYNOLDSBURG In
an aggressive move designed
to help protect Ohios $2.3
billion poultry industry from
the avian flu that has so
negatively impacted other
poultry-producing states,
today the Ohio Department
of Agriculture canceled all
live bird exhibitions this year.
The ban includes county and
independent fairs, the Ohio
State Fair, and all other gatherings of birds for show or
for sale, including auctions
and swap meets. Similar bans
have been enacted in other
poultry states. So far, Ohio
is virus-free and the move
is intended to continue that
status.
Highly Pathogenic Avian
Influenza (HPAI) also
called the avian flu is an
extremely contagious virus
that primarily affects domestic poultry and is believed to
be spread by wild, migrating birds. The United States
Department of Agricultures
(USDA) Animal and Plant
Health Inspection Service
(APHIS) first confirmed the
virus in the U.S. beginning
in late 2014. Since that time
more than 44 million birds at
more than 197 locations have
been affected.
This was a difficult decision because it means young
people cant show their birds
at fairs, but its in the best
interest of an industry that
literally thousands of Ohio
families and businesses
depend on and which provides billions of dollars to
our states economy. The
right move isnt always the
easy move, but this is the

right move, especially when


you see just how devastating
the virus has been to other
big poultry states like Iowa
and Minnesota. Ohioans need
to do all we can to ensure
that we protect our industry
and that we help avoid a
costly spike in the price of
important foods like chicken,
turkey and eggs, said Ohio
Department of Agriculture
Director David T. Daniels.
Ohio is the second largest
egg producer in the country and home to 28 million
laying chickens, 12 million
broilers, 8.5 million pullets
and 2 million turkeys. Ohios
egg, chicken and turkey farms
employ more than 14,600
jobs and contribute $2.3 billion to the states economy.
Ohios role in national poultry production is even greater considering the loss that
other major poultry states are
experiencing.
One of the ways avian
influenza spreads is by direct
contact with contaminated
materials coming from other
infected birds. This means
that exhibitions, auctions and
swap meets where birds are
co-mingling pose a high risk
of unintentionally spreading
this disease. Until we can be
sure that there has been no
transference from the wild
bird population migrating
through the state, we need
to do all we can to minimize
the exposure for our domestic
birds, said State Veterinarian
Dr. Tony Forshey.
Similar concern about
the potential spread of disease that can happen when
birds are brought together for
shows and sales has caused
Ohios neighboring states of
Indiana, Pennsylvania, West

Artifacts sought
for Fort Fest Museum
INFORMATION SUBMITTED

In 1812, Fort Jennings was a vital outpost in the middle


of the Black Swamp and served thousands of soldiers. Now,
it serves as a backdrop for the military themed festival and
veterans tribute weekend, Fort Fest. This years event will be
held August 14,15, and 16 in the Putnam County village named
for the fort.
As part of these displays, the Fort Jennings Historical
Society assembles a temporary military museum housed in the
refurbished Jennings Memorial Hall. For one weekend a year,
this moving display features items loaned from local families
and veterans. The Museum committee is looking for anyone
willing to loan their military artifacts or relate their stories for
the weekend of Fort Fest.
We know that there are a lot of people out there proud of
the accomplishments of a veteran in their life, Klir said. This
is a wonderful way to honor them and say thank you.
All items are safely secured for the weekend and will be
returned directly following the festival. Interested parties can
contact Wes Klir at 419-286-2257 or atwjklir@bright.net.

Virginia, and Michigan to


make the decision to cancel
shows for at least the 2015
fair season. Of those states,
only Indiana has had a flock
test positive for HPAI.
The Ohio Department of
Agriculture is working closely with the states poultry
producers and the USDA
APHIS to provide training
and to closely monitor the
health of poultry in the state.
Detailed plans and protocols are in place to allow
for a quick and coordinated
response in the event HPAI is
detected in Ohio.
Human health and food
safety
Despite the severity of the
outbreak in birds, no human
infections have been associated with HPAI and the
Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention considers
the risk to people from these
viruses to be low. Federal
and state law already ensures
birds and poultry products
that are affected by HPAI are
prohibited from entering the
food chain.
Consumers should continue to employ standard food

safety practices. Cooking


poultry, including game birds,
to the proper temperature and
preventing cross contamination between raw and cooked
food are always recommended to protect against viruses

Recommendations for
local fairs
The department is working with county and independent fair boards to identify
options that will keep youth
who are already raising poultry from losing their opportunity to have a fair project. The recommendations
include amending the deadlines for students to switch
projects and allowing the use

birds and wild birds, keep
birds inside as much as possible, and report sick birds or
unusual bird deaths to their
veterinarian immediately.
Good biosecurity practices for poultry owners include
the following:
Monitor flocks for
unusual signs of illness such
as snicking (sneezing), a
one percent or more decrease
in egg production, or an
increase in mortality. Other
signs to look for are wheezing, lethargy, and depression.
Practice personal biosecurity and avoid contact
with sick/dead poultry or
wildlife. If contact occurs,
wash your hands with soap
and water and change clothing before having any contact
with healthy domestic poultry and birds.

(Continued from page 8)

A job search is always a good time to revisit current budgeting and savings goals. For example, you might want to do more
specialized budgeting as you aim for a particular salary offer.
Youll also want to consider the timing of your search
to exhaust benefits youve earned at your current employer.
You will see many employees schedule a job search after
annual bonuses are paid or after theyre able to spend out in
tax-advantaged Health or Flexible Spending accounts (HSAs
or FSAs) for qualified health care, dependent care or other
approved benefits. Also, before you start applying, it might be
worthwhile to review confidentiality or non-compete agreements you signed at the time your current employer hired you
in case those agreements might restrict any element of your
search.
Sometimes job offers distract workers from taking a thorough look at the value of potential benefits. You may not get
all the details until your actual starting date, but see whether
your future employers human resources department can share
details of the health, retirement or tax-advantaged benefits programs they offer. Above all, find out how soon youll be eligible to sign up for your new employers 401(k) retirement plan.
Finally, touch base again with your financial advisor before
you accept to make sure youve got all the information you
need. You will need to do parallel retirement planning if you
are to retire successfully, and qualified advisors can also assist
with transferring previous-employer retirement assets and suggestions on ways to use other work-related benefits efficiently.
Bottom line: When searching for a new job, go beyond the
paycheck issues to research tax and benefit issues that can
make a good job a great one.

Council

(Continued from page 1)

Tony Wehri, on behalf of the Canal Days


Planning Committee, inquired if council
would consider funding the cost for numerous port-a-potties and a wash station for the
2015 event; the cost of the sanitary services
is $2,776. Previously the city appropriated
for this expenditure from the general fund
but did not do so in 2014 in view of financial
constraints. Wehri commented that 90 percent
of the Canal Days profit is returned to the
Delphos Community through various projects, including scouts, stadium projects, and
the DARE program, to name just a few.
We retain only funds to address the
expenses for the next year, added Wehri. All
other funds are distributed back to Delphos
community projects.
Council approved the appropriation by
unanimous vote.
In legislative action, council passed a
refuse and recycling pick up contract for
Delphos residents with Allen County Refuse,
the 7-year contact effective June 30 through
June 30, 2022. The cost of the refuse and recycling contract is static at $15 per month with
a $.10 increase from $.60 to $.70 per month
for billing administrative charges from 2017
through 2022.
The initial 2016 city budget was also
approved, the actual appropriations will be
addressed at the first of the year.

www.delphosherald.com

Council also approved various inter-department fund transfers, review of tax abatements, and salary schedule for new intermittent Fire Fighter/EMT employees. Fire Chief
Kevin Streets, in attendance at the meeting,
stated that he anticipates no problem filling
the positions from current applicants and
additional applicants expected with the council approval of the program and pay scale.
Annexation of two residential properties on
Pohlman road adjacent to the city and contract
with Stolly Insurance for general, property,
and fleet insurance for one year at a cost of
$79,820 were also approved.
Lease of city property near the reservoir
for farm use by Elmer Pohlman was heard by
council for the first time.
Councilman Kemper noted that a considerable number of dogs and cats are running
at large though the city. Mayor Gallmeier
emphasized that leash laws do exist in the
city and residents should take note to control
their pets.
Concern was also raised by councilman
Josh Gillespie regarding residents particularly
in park areas operating licensed golf carts with
while utilizing open containers, and violating
occupancy capacity of golf cart vehicles, also
in violation of city and state laws.
EMS write offs for the month of May
totaled $37,492.01; over $16,000 was directed to collections, the balance was primarily
medicare or Medicaid related.

Arraigned

Wildcat

(Continued from page 1)

(Continued from page 1)

Delphos Chief of Police Kyle Fittro reported that since


those seizures, new complaints, both historic and suggestive
of possible new criminal activity perpetrated over the past
week, have been filed.
While continuing to review evidence seized during the
raid, BCI secured a warrant for Edelbrocks arrest on a single
count of passing bad checks amounting to nearly $12,000,
a felony offense of the fourth degree that carries with it the
potential for an 18-month prison sentence and a $5,000 fine.
Shortly before noon on Friday, officials with the Ohio
Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation, the
Putnam County Sheriffs Office and the Delphos Police
Department arrested Edelbrock at her Kalida home.
During her arraignment, Edelbrock appeared before
Judge Tammy Hursh. After hearing bond recommendations
from both sides, Judge Hursh placed bond at $100,000. In
addition, if and when she posts bond, Hursh ordered that
Edelbrock undergo electronic monitoring, banned any and
all access to the internet and any devices that may access
the internet, prohibited all financial transactions or business
interaction and required the forfeiture of Edelbrocks passport. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Wednesday.
Although currently facing just the single charge, additional charges remain a possibility.
Once they analyze all those documents, well have a
better idea if there are going to be more charges or if there
are not, stated Delphos Chief of Police Kyle Fittro, referring
to materials seized on May 19. The volume of documents
is such that its going to take (BCI) a while to get through
them.

Six years later there was never


a question of who the class would
choose as its Honorary Wildcat.
It was a unanimous class decision, friend Tyler Talboom said.
There was never a doubt Nathan
would be our choice.
Talboom remembers Miller as
outgoing and friendly.
I never saw anyone who was
always so happy, Talboom said.
He was always smiling.
Fellow classmate Austin Carder
said he and Miller shared a love of
the outdoors.
We were always out in the
woods building things, hanging
out or wed go fishing. We were
always outside, Carder said.
Miller was also passionate
about baseball and played football.
We hung out a lot during baseball, Talboom said. We always
talked in between games and had
fun.
His classmates made sure to
include him in their activities this
past school year.
Everything we did this year,

as far as sports goes, we included him, Carder said. Talboom


would take his jersey out on the
field at the beginning of the football games.
During baseball season, Millers
jersey was retired and presented to
his parents, Angie and Sam.
Our senior year was a reflection of Nathan, Talboom said.
The boys in the class also help
with the Nathan Miller Memorial
Baseball Tournament a tribute
to their friend and a fundraiser for
scholarships in his name.
Nathans parents have been
there for us this whole time,
Carder said. We always get them
a present on Nathans birthday and
they get us pizza and hang out with
us. We help them with the tournament every year so they know we
havent forgotten him. I miss him a
lot. He was my best friend.
Talboom said he misses him, too.
We will never forget him. He
will always be in our hearts and he
is still loved, he said.
Along with the award, Nathans
parents also received his gown and
the cap autographed by his friends.

I directed them to leave her alone, but they wouldnt
