improvements were at the
center of discussions during
Mondays meeting of the
Board of Education of the
Delphos City Schools.
District Superintendent
Kevin Wolfe updated the
board on continuing repairs
to Franklin Elementary,
advising members that, to
date, repairs have proven
principally cosmetic and
that no significant structural
issues have been recorded.
He then turned attention to
the high school and its aging
windows.
Wolfe reported that
an initial estimate on the
removal and replacement of
existing windows at the high
school ranges from between
$900 and $1,200 per window. Settling on an easily manipulated $1,000 per
window, and allowing for
the replacement of roughly 80 windows, he reported
Refreshments will be
available at no costs to children.
Prizes include a bicycles
for the boy and girl who
take first place with fishing
equipment for others.
Fishing will start at 8 a.m.
and end at 11 a.m. at which
time prizes will be given away.
Those fishing need to register at the Club House upon
arriving to fish to be eligible
for any prizes.
Fishing has been really
good lately. Crappie, bluegill, catfish, bass and even
some large carp are biting
very good this past week.
Nice sized crappies and bass
have been really biting the
best.

ELIDA After over 12
years of service in the Village
of Elida, Janet Bonifas tendered her resignation on
Monday. A grim Kim Hardy,
mayor, read her letter of resignation to a shell-shocked
council during their meeting
on Tuesday.
This letter is to inform
you that I am resigning from
my positions as fiscal officer, tax administrator and
office manager at the Village
of Elida, Ohio, Hardy said,
reading from Bonifas letter.
Thank you for the opportunity to serve the residents
of Elida for the last 12 plus
years.
Council President Larry
Flick accepted the resignation
with regret.
I surely dont want to see
you leave, Councilor Claude
Paxton said to Bonifas.

Three key parts of the Brad Doty Classic sponsored by Ohio Logistics race at Limaland Motorsports Park gathered
for the pre-race press conference Tuesday are namesake Brad Doty, center; Gene Frankart, left, the originator of
the race that became the Classic; and Greg Wilson, current owner of the UNOH All-Star Sprint Speed Week Circuit
Championship. (DHI Media/Jim Metcalfe)
COLUMBUS Beginning
immediately, the Ohio High
School Athletic Association
has joined dozens of states
in adopting recommendations from the National
Federation of State High
School Associations (NFHS)
Concussion Summit Task
Force, which will reduce the
risk in football for concussions and head impact exposure.
The
recommendations were approved by the
OHSAAs Joint Advisory
Committee
on
Sports
Medicine in June and presented to OHSAA Commissioner
Dan Ross and the OHSAA
staff. The OHSAA Board
of Directors unanimously
approved the changes in a
conference call vote Monday.
The changes, which are
listed below, become effective immediately, beginning
with the start of football practices in Ohio on August 1.
The NFHS is the governing
body of high school sports in
this country and Ohio follows
its playing rules.
With the support and
leadership from the football
coaches association, we have
been out in front of concussion awareness and education, and these changes will
now bring Ohio up to a place
as a national leader in this
area, Dr. Ross said. Like
many of our regulations,
ARCHBOLD - Pitching
has been a key to the success
of the Kalida ACME team
this summer.
The Wildcats received
another solid pitching performance Tuesday evening and
used a pair of timely fly balls
to defeat Miller City 3-0 in
the semifinals of the District
2 ACME district tournament
at Archbolds War Memorial
Field.
The win sends Kalida (145) to the ACME district finals
tonight at Archbold against
either Ayersville, Archbold or
Miller City at approximately
7:30 p.m.
Miller City (11-4) drops
into the losers bracket and
will play the ArchboldAyersville winner at 5:30 p.m.
Trent Siebeneck was the
latest Kalida pitcher to shine
on the mound. Siebeneck
tossed a 2-hit shutout and
used three big plays by his
defense to preserve the shutout. Siebeneck had four
strikeouts in the win and
walked two batters.
Our pitching has been
real good, Kalida ACME
coach Gary Zeller said.
Trent Siebeneck came out
and threw a 2-hit shutout and
you cant do much better than
that. Trent has been pitching good all year. We had
a couple of errors but good
pitching will keep you in the
game.
Both of Miller Citys hits
came in the same inning as
Justin Schnipke had a 1-out
single but was forced at second base on a Lane Hiltner
ground ball to shortstop.

ACME
(Continued from page 6)
Kalida took a 1-0 lead in the second inning as Austin
Klausing started the frame being hit by a pitch. After two fly
ball outs, Trent Gerding singled before walks to Derek Buss
and Austin Swift forced in a run.
Kalida added a run in the fifth as Swift singled and was
sacrificed to second by Siebeneck. Swift took third on a passed
ball before scoring on a sacrifice fly to center by Laudick.
The same trio helped account for the Wildcats third run as
Swift reached second base on a throwing error. A ground ball
to second by Siebeneck moved Swift to third before he scored
on a sacrifice fly to left by Laudick.
Kuhlman took the loss for Miller City as he allowed three
runs on five hits with two strikeouts and two walks.

Local Roundup
UNOH workers survey the Limaland Motorsports Park racetrack along the backstretch Tuesday. The wet weather that
has hit the area the last week and affected the track, the parking lot and the pit area caused race officials to postpone
the race until Thursday. (DHI Media/Jim Metcalfe)
(Continued from page 6)
Then on Victory Lane,
its such an emotional time;
I see winners with tears in
their eyes and it brings tears
to mine.
One of those drivers that
hopes to grab the trophy, the
UNOH All-Star Sprint Speed
Week Circuit Champion
Greg Wilson, plans on giving
it his best shot.
Ive been racing here
since 2004. Its such a beautiful facility and such a competitive atmosphere, Wilson
said. Brad was such a great
racer and an even better
ambassador of the sport. Its
a premier event on the schedule here. Ive had my share
of success at the track and
have some confidence going
in with a couple of wins the
last two years, plus being the
Circuit champ. I come from
Findlay, so this is like my
home track, so I want to do
very well here.

A WEEKLY TURN AROUND THE BASES
Charlie Miller

Baseball Editor
@AthlonCharlie
his is the 14th season that the All-Star Game has counted. If
you recall, way back in 2001, both teams ran out of pitchers and
the game ended in a 7-7 tie after 11 exciting innings, leaving fans
at Miller Park and TV viewers disappointed, to put it mildly.
So, in all his wisdom, Commissioner Bud Selig along with TV
executives led efforts to bring some meaning back to the All-Star
Game, as if the real meaning of an exhibition for the fans had ever left.
The result, of course, is that the All-Star Game now determines homefield advantage for the World Series.
I dont understand how players and teams accept determining homefield advantage by teams elected by the fans in a popularity vote.
With the starters voted in by the fans, some players elected by a survey
of players, and other reserves selected by the managers, how can we expect the best of each league to be there? And without the best vs. the best,
how can we use this game to determine home-field advantage?
The All-Star Game no longer reflects the way the game is played on
a daily basis. Again, how can we allow a game in which no pitcher will
log more than a couple of innings to have such a significant effect on
the World Series? And managers take great pains to get everyone in the
game. Either the All-Star Game is an exhibition in which every player
gets in, or its a serious, must-win game. Straddling that line just doesnt
work.
Here are my suggestions to improve the All-Star Game for the fans.
NUMBERS GAME
.500
The MLB All-Star Game brings the biggest stars of the game together on the same
team. The great Hank Aaron (left) and Willie Mays enjoy time together prior to the 1970
All-Star Game in Cincinnati.
all fields. Again, simple scoring would reward hitters a bonus point for
hitting a home run into a second section. Then maybe even two bonus
points for the third section. Seeing guys trying to go oppo could be fun.
I welcome the bracket aspect of the derby this year. But I would suggest
three innings for each match, and allow only three outs per inning.
I would play the final round like the old Home Run Derby of the
1950s. The two players would alternate for nine innings to determine the
champion. I think that would add drama.
5) Make it a complete All-Star week
Or at least four full days. After the Home Run Derby on Monday
night, I would play the Futures Game the night before the main event. I
really like the idea of the Futures Game. Its a terrific way to reward prospects and give the fans a glimpse into the future, so I wouldnt change
much other than the timing and pitting American League prospects vs.
National League prospectsnot World vs. U.S. The Futures Game
should be played at the site of the All-Star Game on Tuesday night, in
prime time, when theres no other baseball, rather than on Sunday afternoon opposite a full slate of games as it is now. After the All-Star Game
on Wednesday, honor the past with an Old-Timers All-Star Night. That
would be an outstanding opportunity to honor the past and give retired
players another moment in the spotlight. Rather than having the recently
retired John Smoltz face an aging Willie Mays, have a three-inning game
with older players from the 1950s and 60s. Then have a seven-inning
version with more recently retired players like Cal Ripken, Barry Bonds,
Mark McGwire, Chipper Jones, Pedro Martinez, Greg Maddux, Smoltz
and Tom Glavine. You think fans wouldnt flock to see those guys in
uniform one more time?
Oh, and the solution for home-field advantage for four games in the
World Series? How about taking the most wins in interleague play? After
all, that seems to be a more fair and accurate way to judge the better
league anyway.

Tigers
Who will pick up slack for loss of Miguel Cabrera?
Red Sox
As miserable as season has been, Sox not out of it.
Rangers
Limped home at the break, losing 15 of 20.
Diamondbacks Snakes are well within striking distance of NL wild card.
Braves
Losing closer Jason Grilli for season is a huge blow.
Padres
One game better than last season after 90 games.
Mariners
Alternated wins and losses for last 12 games.

8.5-game deficit is not insurmountable.
Indians
Last 14 games: pitchers have 116 Ks, allowed only 82 hits, 24 walks.
White Sox
Would-be sellers at deadline suddenly climbing in standings.
Rockies
Sweep of Braves ends sour first half on a high note.
Reds
How soon will Reds begin rebuilding?
Brewers
Adam Lind could be a nice trade chip.
Marlins
Now both All-Star starters on shelf with injuries.
Phillies
Long, arduous season getting worse in Philly.
The Indians are just 5-14 in reigning Cy Young winner Corey Klubers starts. But it isnt all about
Klubers ineffectiveness. Cleveland has been shut
out three times in his starts, scored just one run
another three times and tallied two runs four times.
Kluber has, um, enjoyed the worst run support
in baseball this season. In the three shutouts,
the Indians were victimized by Dallas Keuchel,
Jeff Samardzija and Sonny Gray...The Cubs Chris
Coghlans consecutive games played streak ended
last week at 150. The new active leader is Kansas
Citys Kendrys Morales at 123...The Cubs Jake
Arrieta ended the first half on a roll. Over his last
five starts, the righthander is 4-0 with a 1.13 ERA,
34 strikeouts and just 21 hits and four walks allowed. If the Cubs are to attain equal status with
St. Louis, Arrieta could play a huge role. For his
career, he owns a 1.63 ERA and 1.047 WHIP in nine
starts against the Redbirds... Mark Buehrle, a
38th-round draft pick of the White Sox in 1999,
has now won at least 10 games for 15 consecutive
seasons. Hes also logged at least 200 innings for
the past 14 seasons and is well on the way to doing
so again this season.

The bawdy little talking
furball is back. Writer-director
Seth McFarlanes raunchy teddy
bear returns in all his crass,
computer-generated comedic
glory for another round of
surrealist stoner silliness with
his Bostonian best friend, John
(Mark Wahlberg), in this sequel
to the $550-million-grossing
2012 hit.
It begins, as many movies do,
with a wedding, as Ted (voiced
by McFarlane) ties the knot
with his gum-smacking bride,
Tami-Lynn (Jessica Barth).
Soon, however, theres trouble
in paradise: Ted and TamiLynn discover they cant have a
baby, for a couple of reasons
including that Ted, a teddy bear,
lacks the necessary anatomical
equipment. And trying to adopt
creates another problem, which
comes to loom large: The legal
question of whether Ted is a
person or a piece of property.
How you feel about the
humor in Ted 2 will likely align
with how you feel in general
about the work of McFarlane,
whose TV show Family Guy
established and enshrined him as
a golden boy of rollicking, ribald
politically incorrect hilarity. For

LIMA When patients do not feel well, going to the doctor may
be inconvenient or difficult. St. Ritas Health Partners has introduced
a new technology MyChart E-Visits that allows some patients
to communicate electronically with doctors from wherever they are.
Patients with conditions including: back pain, a cold or cough, diarrhea, heartburn, sinus problems or urinary problems can use MyChart
E-Visits. With the E-Visit system, patients will answer a series of questions to inform the doctor of symptoms. The doctor will respond with
recommended treatment or prescribe medicine, if needed.
According to Ronda Lehman, chief operating officer of St. Ritas
Professional Services, MyChart E-Visits are another nice option for
mothers with small children or patients with transportation issues.
E-Visits are timely and convenient.
Patients can expect a response within 24 hours Monday-Friday.
Based on how patients answer E-Visit questions, they may be asked to
schedule a face-to-face visit with their healthcare provider.
MyChart E-Visits are available only with doctors who participate
in the program. If a patients doctor does not offer E-Visits, the patient
will need to schedule an office visit. E-Visits also require patients to
have an account through MyChart a secure, online medical record
and communication system.

James Kimmett was re-hired as an intermittent

Archives
the board that the Van Wert County
commissioners approached the
district with a proposal. See the
Change, an academic program that
offers physics curriculum assistance
targeted at middle school students,
may be made available at little
or no cost to the district through
the commissioners. Typically associated with a $50,000 fee, Wolfe
explained that the commissioners
have offered to pay most, if not all,
of the cost through a grant available
to them. At most, he felt that the
district might have to pick up its
share of a $10,000 surplus not covered by the grant.
Im meeting with the other three
schools sometime in the next week
or so to discuss this, Wolfe said.
Id hate to see the other districts get
this and we dont.
Wolfe was directed by board
members to update them as new
information becomes available.
The board also awarded Katherine
Hickey a one-year contract as multiple handicap teacher at Franklin
Elementary. Hickey, who was raised
in Avon Lake but has family ties in
the area, recently graduated from
Bowling Green State University and
will assume her first teaching assignment this fall.
In other business, the board:
approved
the Athletic
Department Handbook and ticket prices for the 2015-16 school
year. Admission prices to athletic
events were unchanged from last
year.
The next meeting will be held at
8 p.m. Aug. 10 in the Administrative
Building.
