4-H stays afloat


BY MIKE FORD mford@delphosherald.com LIMA When the 2009 Allen County Budget was passed, a 21 percent cut was made across the board. All agencies outside of law enforcement supported with general fund dollars were drastically affected. The 4-H program was at risk because its operations are under OSU Extension, which will only fund a county office if the county in question forks over funding first. When the first half of the match was removed by commissioners, Extension removed its share and the office closed. County residents raised funds to keep the 4-H program going at the Allen County Fairgrounds. Program Assistant Leanna McKamey says the commissioners came through this week when they approved this years appropriations. They came up with $25,000 last year but it was a little later and we werent able to get a 4-H Educator, which weve been without. They continued the funding

Jefferson, St. Johns fall in league contest p6 & p7

Nominations for the second annual Hall of Honor induction are currently being sought in an effort to recognize outstanding graduates, or former employees of the district, as well as any others whose achievements have reflected positively upon the Delphos City School District in some significant way. Potential candidates may be someone who has earned recognition in the community, may have received high honors or have had distinguished careers away from the Delphos City School District. Length, quality of service to their particular field, contributions to the school district, the community they live in and to society in general are all criteria for nominations for this honor. This years induction will take place in conjunction with the annual Delphos Jefferson Alumni Dinner in June at the Delphos Eagles Hall. Nominations for Hall of Honor inductees may be submitted via e-mail to brostorfer@DL.NOACSC. org,; online at dl.noacsc.org; or by stopping in or calling the Administration Building, 234 N. Jefferson St., Delphos 45833 to get a nomination form.

and with the $25,000, well combine that money with state and federal grant money to hire a 4-H Educator, she said. The program will not be able to do a lot of the things it once did when it received much more funding. However, restored funding is matched, so having $50,000 to work with as a result of the commissioners support keeps it alive in Allen County. We wont have traditional programs like ag, natural resources and consumer sciences but we will be able to do more afterschool programs. We currently have one called Real Money, Real World that helps junior high and high school students prepare for when they get out of school. We will be able to do more with a 4H Educator, she said. Anyone interested in the position should keep in touch with the office or watch media for postings. Appropriate documentation has been filed in Columbus and when the job is posted, it will only be so for a month.

US warns Iran not to block shipping


By ANNE GEARAN AP National Security Writer WASHINGTON Tensions rising by the day, the Obama administration said Friday it is warning Iran through public and private channels against any action that threatens the flow of oil from the Persian Gulf. The Navy revealed that two U.S. ships in and near the Gulf were harassed by Iranian speedboats last week. Spokesmen were vague on what the United States would do about Irans threat to block the strategic Strait of Hormuz, but military officials have been clear that the U.S. is readying for a possible naval clash. That prospect is the latest flashpoint with Iran, and one of the most serious. Although it currently overshadows the threat of war over Irans disputed nuclear program, perhaps beginning with an Israeli military strike on Irans nuclear structure, both simmering crises raise the possibility of a shooting war this year. We have to make sure we are ready for any situation and have all options on the table, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said, addressing a soldiers question Thursday about the overall

risk of war with Iran. Navy officials said that in separate incidents Jan. 6, three Iranian speedboats each armed with a mounted gun briefly chased after a U.S. Navy ship just outside the Gulf near the Strait of Hormuz and a U.S. Coast Guard cutter in the northern Gulf. No shots were fired and the speedboats backed off. For several reasons, the risk of open conflict with Tehran appears higher in this election year than at any point since President Barack Obama took office with a pledge to try to bridge 30 years of enmity. A clash would represent a failure of U.S. policy on several fronts and vault now-dormant national security concerns into the presidential election contest. The U.S. still hopes that international pressure will persuade Iran to back down on its disputed nuclear program, but the Islamic regime shows no sign it would willingly give up a project has become a point of national pride. A nuclear bomb, or the ability to quickly make one, could also be worth much more to Iran as a bargaining chip down the road. Time is short, with Iran making several leaps toward See IRAN, page 2

Let the snow warm up conversation


Aaah. Winter is here! The snow if flying, the thermometer is dipping down below 20 and the wind is making the flap on the exhaust from the stove rat-a-tat out a tune. Ive found that in the last several years, I am less agreeable to snow than I was. I used to wait anxiously for the first snowfall to coat my world in sparkling white. Everything just looks so pretty right after it snows. Now, I just grumble like everyone else and go find my boots because the dog has to go out. Wheres my scarf? Have you seen my gloves? Ringo likes the snow. When it is actually snowing, he leaps and bounds to catch flakes in the air before they fall. He digs and jumps and runs in circles. Its quite amusing. Then his feet get cold. Its all fun and games until your feet get cold. Amen. The kids will enjoy a four-day weekend due to the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday on Monday. Jefferson kids get a five-day weekend due to a teacher in-service day on Tuesday. Oh, how at times I would love a snow day or teacher in-service day. Just to roll over and go back to sleep and know the whole day stretches out in font of you with nothing to do. Just not meant to be. Thats what happens when you become an adult. Its funny how kids always want to be more like adults when theyre supposed to be kids and once we become adults, we want to be kids again. Its funny how much things have changed with snow and technology. When I was young, we couldnt wait to rush out and play. When we were frozen like popsicles and couldnt stand it anymore, wed go in and throw our outerwear in the dryer. Wed wait for them to dry while sipping hot chocolate. Then we gear up and head out again.

For The Record

On the Other hand


Wed make forts and play on the canal and have snowball fights. What fun. There are no ice skates in my closet anymore and I just dont get the urge to dig around in the snow to build anything. Perhaps just to look for the keys I just dropped but thats it. Now, kids are hunched over their computers or phones or sitting in front of the TV. They make our job a little more difficult to get good outdoor pictures in the winter and sometimes all year long. Kids just dont play outside like they used to. Weve become an indoor society. This mentality spills over to other things as well. We dont neighbor like we used to we send them a text. We dont sit down and have conversations we catch up on Facebook even if its with someone who live a few houses down. Facebook is great for keeping in touch with old classmates who have moved or relatives who live in faraway places but if I want to talk to my neighbor, I pick up the phone or walk over. Jeez. Whys that so hard? So as you snuggle in for a long winters night, think about someone you havent seen or talked to in a while and give them a call on Sunday. Find out what theyre up to and share whats going on in your life. Sometimes there is no replacing an honest-to-goodness, actual conversation without abbreviations. LOL! nuclear program, a mysterious explosion at an Iranian nuclear site that may have been sabotage and the apparent targeting of the program with an efficient computer virus. Iranian officials accuse both Israel and the U.S. of carrying out the assassination as part of a secret operation to stop Irans nuclear program. The killing came a day after Israeli military chief Lt. Gen. Benny Gantz was quoted as telling a parliamentary panel that 2012 would be a critical year for Iran in part because of things that happen to it unnaturally. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and Panetta made a point of publicly denying any U.S. involvement, but the administration tied itself in knots this week over how far to go in condemning an action that could further the U.S. goal of stalling Iranian nuclear progress. The U.S. position remains that a military strike on Irans known nuclear facilities is undesirable because it would have unintended consequences and would probably only stall, not end, the Iranian nuclear drive. That has been the consensus view among military leaders and policy makers for roughly five years, spanning a Republican and Democratic

(Continued from Page 1) the ability to manufacture a nuclear weapon if it chooses to do so. Iran claims its nuclear development is intended for the peaceful production of energy. Meanwhile, several longstanding assumptions about U.S. influence and the value of a targeted strike to stymie Irans progress toward a nuclear weapon have changed. For one, the White House is no longer confident it could prevail on Israel not to launch such a strike. An escalating covert cam-

paign of sabotage and targeted assassinations highlighted by this weeks killing of an Iranian nuclear scientist may not be enough to head off a larger shooting war and could prod Iran to strike first. The brazen killing of a young scientist by motorcycle-riding bombers is seen as almost surely the work of Israel, according to U.S. and other officials speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss intelligence matters. The killing on a Tehran street followed the deaths of several other Iranians involved in the

administration. But during that time Iran has gotten ever closer to a potential bomb, Israel has gotten more brazen in its threats to stop an Iranian bomb by nearly any means, and the U.S. administrations influence over Israel has declined. Israel considers Iran its mortal enemy and takes seriously the Iranian threat to wipe the Jewish state from the map. The United States is Israels strongest ally and international defender, but the allies differ over how imminent the Iranian threat has become and how to stop it. The strained relationship between Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu plays a role, as does the rise in influence of conservative political parties in Israel. U.S. officials have concluded that Israel will go its own way on Iran, despite U.S. objections, and may not give the U.S. much notice if it decides to launch a strike, U.S. and other officials said. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive diplomacy. The Obama administration is concerned that Irans claim this week that it is expanding nuclear operations with more advanced equipment may push Israel closer to a strike.

On the banks of yesteryear ...

STATE/LOCAL Eligible Ohioans can file taxes for free using the Ohio Benefit Bank
COLUMBUS Tax season is quickly approaching and thousands of Ohioans will soon begin filing to ensure they receive their refunds quickly. To help taxpayers save a little extra money this year, the Ohio Association of Second Harvest Foodbanks (OASHF) is once again helping moderate- and lowincome Ohioans obtain free federal and state income tax assistance, while also identifying if they are eligible for other benefit programs. Beginning Jan. 17, Ohioans with an annual household income of $60,000 or less can file their federal and state taxes for free using The Ohio Benefit Bank (OBB), an online service that connects Ohioans to benefit programs, such as health care coverage, home energy assistance, child care subsidies and food assistance. Too many Ohio taxpayers miss out on receiving free tax assistance each year because either they dont know its available or they dont know where to get this valuable service, said Jason Elchert, OASHF deputy director. At a time when many Ohioans are stretching every penny in their pocket as far as possible, the OBB can help working individuals and families maximize their full tax refund. Individuals can obtain free tax assistance by visiting The OBBs free online, self-service program at ohiobenefits. org or by calling 1-800-6481176 to talk to a live operator for assistance. The web site is designed to help individuals and families prepare and electronically file their taxes as well as enable Ohioans to claim all the tax credits for which they are eligible at no cost while reviewing potential eligibility for other benefit programs. If clients choose to use direct deposit, they can receive their refunds in as few as seven to 10 days. In addition, more than 3,500 trained OBB counselors, located at more than 1,100 locations across the state, are available to help Ohioans file their tax returns at no cost. Tax returns in many instances are a great way for working families and individuals to put thousands of dollars in their pockets and infuse money into their local economies. At least one in every four taxpayers eligible for the Earned Income Tax Credit fails to claim the credit, said Elchert. The EITC could put more than $5,800 into the

as the same fit could be done using simple measurements. It was a big draw for children, who loved to go into the shoe store and stick their feet in the machine just for the fun of seeing the greenish yellow image of their bones. Introduced in the 1930s, the units grew in popularity until by the 1950s, there were 10,000 such devices in shoe stores in the United States. At the same time scientists began to voice concern about the potential hazards of radiation, and by 1970 shoe x-ray machines had been banned in 33 states. The unit at our museum was donated by Bob McNamee, who was the manager of Charles Company Shoes, 229 N. Main St., which is now Delphos Sporting Goods. Sorry, the inside workings have been removed, so its not as much fun to stick your feet in as it was then, but youre welcome to visit to the museum for a bit of childhood nostalgia. The museum is open from 1-3 p.m. every Saturday and Sunday and from 9 a.m. to noon every Thursday.

The Canal Commission Museum has a fluoroscope unit on hand for visitors to see. If you were born before 1960, you probably remember going to a shoe store as a child and having your feet x-rayed with a fluoroscope. You would try on a new pair of shoes, stick your feet in the opening at the bottom of the unit and while you were looking through a porthole on top and wiggling your toes, your parent and the shoe salesman were looking through similar openings which showed a fluorescent image of the bones and soft tissue of the foot inside the shoe as well as an outline of the shoe. The purpose was to see if the new shoes you had on were the right fit. In actuality, this was just a sales gimmick

Author Stewart to address Civil War Roundtable


Western Ohios own Civil War military unit will be the subject of discussion when author Martin Stewart addresses the Western Ohio Civil War Roundtable on Jan. 26. The Western Ohio regiment, the 71st Ohio Volunteer Infantry, (about 800 men led by Colonel Rodney Mason and Lt. Col. Barton Kyle) was composed of recruits from Miami, Mercer, Auglaize, Montgomery, Hamilton and Clark Counties. Meeting time is 7:15 p.m. in Room 186 Andrews Hall Wright State Lake Campus. The public is invited. Stewart, who is a noted lecturer sought by Civil War enthusiasts, will make his second speaking engagement before the Western Ohio CWRT. According to Stewart, a native of Miami Co. and descendant of four Union soldiers, the 71st Ohio embarked for Cincinnati by train three days after their flag presentation at Camp Tod on Febr. 15, 1862. The 71st OVI was part of General Shermans Army of the Tennessee. The green troops would quickly be initiated into the sheer terror of war in what would be called the Battle of Shiloh (April 6-7, 1862). Situated on the Union left flank the regiment was hit hard by Gen. Albert S. Johnstons

pockets of eligible Ohio taxpayers. This is money that taxpayers can use now to make their lives a little easier or money they can put away for a rainy day. Each year, more than $2.24 billion dollars in tax credits and other supports go unclaimed by eligible Ohioans. More than 97 percent of these unclaimed funds are federal dollars. Claiming these dollars will bring more federal money to Ohio, therefore helping to boost the states economy. Through The Ohio Benefit Bank, more than 273,000 Ohioans have gained access to potential tax credits and work supports valued at more than $577 million. To locate an OBB site or to access the online self-service program, visit ohiobenefits.org or call 1-800-6481176. To stay connected online, follow The Ohio Benefit Bank on Twitter at @OhioBenefitBank or like The Ohio Benefit Bank on Facebook at facebook. com/ohiobenefitbank, both being great ways you can get updates and information throughout tax season about tax filing events throughout Ohio, savings tips and helpful tax information!

If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would John Stuart Mill, English philosopher (1806-1873) be justified in silencing mankind.

We are made up of the people we have met through the years good or bad. Now and then someone comes along who touches the lives of many, many people. Rita Turnwald was one of them. Rita was born on a farm near Columbus Grove but spent most of her years in the Ottoville community. She was dedicated to God and her family then to Ottoville. Rita loved books and history in her early years. She was a visionary. She envisioned the history of Ottoville passing by without being recorded. She made plans to do something about that. Rita helped write an early history of the Immaculate Conception Church in Ottoville but wanted to go further. She knew this would take time, not just months but years. She began saving newspaper clippings. Her daughter, Dorothy, recalled that as a young girl, her mother had her cutting clippings from the newspaper. These were stashed away until it was time to write the book. This project also required several trips to the

One Year Ago Contestants from throughout the region will get the chance to show off their entertainment prowess and compete for prize money in the fourth annual Ohio Has Talent! Show on Feb. 5 at Niswonger Performing Center in Van Wert. Local contestants include Hayleigh Bacome, Jordan Rode and Jennifer Kahlig, Breece Rohr and Madilynn Schulte and Stephanie Spitnale. 25 Years Ago 1987 Delphos native Tom Nomina of Loveland, Colo., who played professional football with the Denver Broncos and the Miami Dolphins, will be inducted into the Miami University Athletic Hall of Fame. Nomina, who played football at St. Johns High School, was a tackle and earned All-America honors. Misty Diltz hit three of four foul shots down the stretch to help lead the Jefferson girls to a 50-45 win over Van Wert. The Cougars were able to close within two in a final quarter that saw five players foul out. Jefferson lost Deana Schmersal and Angie Gonyea and Van Wert lost Teresa Kreischer, Amy Culler and Jodie Kleman. Margie Miller was in double figures for Jefferson with 11 points. In recent months, Stollers Hatchery, State Route 118, Van Wert, has had a 500-foot long by 40 foot wide chicken house erected west of Delphos on the Joel Gerdemann farm on Delphos-Jennings Road. Gerdemann will serve as manager of the new facility which received the first shipment of over 60,000 laying hens. 50 Years Ago 1962 The Lincolnview Lancers were no match for the high flying St. Johns Blue Jays in their game Friday night in St. Johns gym. The Jays defeated Lincolnview by a score of 64-43. Three of the Blue Jays scored in the double digits. Gene Klaus put in seven from the field and added 4 foul shots for 18 points. Charlie Ellis snapped seven in from the field and added two from the foul line for 16 points and Captain Jim Fischer scored 11 points, four from out on the court and three gift shots. R. B. Rozelle was elected president of the Delphos Board of Education at a meeting Friday night in the office at Delphos Jefferson High School. Ray Pohlman was named vice president and Oris Sawmiller was reappointed clerk of the board. Prior to the business meeting, Louis Scherger and Pohlman, who were re-elected at the November election, were sworn in along with new member Nile Brenneman. The Ada Bulldogs threw a full court press at the Delphos Jefferson Wildcats Friday night, and the local cagers simply could not solve it as they went down, 79-54, on the Bulldog floor. Ed Porter was high man for the Wildcats with 14, and Jim Dorman and Ed Jackson each scored 12 in the losing cause. 75 Years Ago 1937 Streams in Delphos and vicinity were raging as the result of heavy rains. The Flat Fork Creek is overflowing its banks in many places in Delphos and the Waterworks Park has taken on the appearance of a miniature lake. Delphos experienced a heavy wind storm and torrential downpour early Thursday morning. The smokestack at the Schaffer sawmill was blown down. A fine program was presented at Morris Chapel Church Wednesday evening under the sponsorship of the members of the Epworth League. The program was as follows: Instrumental duet Nile and Richard Brenneman; vocal quartet Dwight Ludwig, Richard Thompson, Esther and Betty Brenneman; vocal solo Dwight Ludwig; woodwind quartet Ruth Baxter, Arlene Leist, Norma Jean and Edith Ditto; and cast members of a play Dwight Ludwig, Joseph Hurley, Leslie Peltier, Roscoe Thompson, Frances Baxter and Mary Copus. On Jan. 24, Dr. Don R. Falkenberg, executive secretary of the Pocket Testament League and Bible study teacher on the Ohio State University campus, will bring a special message to the people of Delphos on the menace of communism. The Girls Glee Club of Jefferson School, under the direction of Esther Leilich, will sing several selections during the program.

IT WAS NEWS THEN

2002. Gathering and writing helped Rita get through her grief. The book was sent to the publisher in 2005. She sold more than 700 hard bound copies. This manuscript covered everything. There were chapters on The Black Swamp, The Miami and Erie Canal, Coming to America, farming, schools, sports, businesses, church, Prohibition, organizations, the park, military history, manufacturing, the life of a homemaker, etc. You name it, its in the book. Rita would be pleasantly surprised to discover that many people of Ottoville, including the mayor, are trying to get a reprint of her famous book. Their goal is to get at least 100 orders to keep the price of the reprint at $55 or $60. So far they have at least 80 orders, so get your order in. The Ottoville Park Carnival will be 50 years old this summer. The committee hopes to have copies for sale during that event.

Rita and Leon Turnwald library to search records and papers on the micro-film. She spent years putting this book together because she wanted it to be complete and just right. People would ask: Is the book done yet? They didnt realize how much work went into it. Although Rita enjoyed the work, it would still take years of research and writing. She put her writing on hold during the time of her husbands illness, to devote her time to him. Leon passed away 19 May small towns and rural Ohio for 156 years. Let me tell you a little about this great lady, the Ottoville Historian. Rita was born in 1923 to Steve and Mary (Weber) Miller on their farm near Columbus Grove. The family moved to Ottoville when she was a young girl. Rita was the oldest of 12 children. Her siblings are: Ethel Burgei, Julie Kaskel, Lou Madigan, Irene Horner, Dolly Mesker, Donna Schlagbaum, Norb, Ralph, Donald Doc, Virgil and Art Miller.

Some Ohio families are starting the New Year in a new neighborhood, apartment, or shelter after being foreclosed upon or being unable to sell their former home for as much as they paid for it. Meanwhile, once-thriving, middle-class neighborhoods are being undermined by vacant homes, vandalism, and declining property values. If were going to continue our economic recovery, we need to address the issue that put our economy on the brink of collapse: the housing crisis. When it comes to the housing crisis, there is plenty of blame to go around. But before the recession, too many fast-talking mortgage brokers steered Americans into unfair loans that helped put the U.S. economy on the brink of collapse costing millions of Americans their homes and jobs. Federal regulators were asleep on the job failing to ensure that responsible mortgages were being underwritten and then

were all among the 20 communities with the most abandoned foreclosures. For too long, banking regulators have looked out for the big banks bottom lines, at the expense of families in already hard-hit communities. In December, the Treasury Departments Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) issued guidance to the banks instructing them on how to properly walk away from their properties. In response, I wrote to the OCC which oversees the five largest mortgage servicers outlining the devastating effect that bank walkaways have on lowincome and middle-class families and their neighborhoods. The Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland has found that vacant homes in a neighborhood lower surrounding property values by 3.1 percent in an already sluggish housing market. We need stronger standards that will help keep Ohio families in their homes and protect communities

from having to pay thousands in maintenance fees on abandoned homes. In addition to demanding additional action from OCC, Ive also introduced the Foreclosure Fraud and Homeowner Abuse Prevention Act, which would require mortgage servicers to work with homeowners to modify their mortgage prior to foreclosure. Preventing foreclosures is the best way to protect Ohio communities from the harm caused by abandoned properties. Earlier this month, I met with a Cleveland Heights resident who lost her job after the company she worked for downsized. Then she lost her home. Jeanette Smith was forced to move to an apartment as the bank initiated foreclosure. But, without alerting her, the bank stopped the Sheriffs sale. Without being able to back out of the lease, Ms. Smith was hit with a double disadvantage: local vacancy fines for a property

she thought she no longer owned and a rent check she now had to pay. If the banks are not willing to work with a struggling homeowner to prevent eviction, then the banks should be accountable for maintaining the foreclosed property. If they dont, then they should pay a penalty as would a homeowner who allows a roof to collapse or fails to repair broken windows. Ohioans are seeing their property values plummet as abandoned homes on their block or in their neighborhood are stripped literally to their foundations. Meanwhile, local cities and counties are left footing the bill because a bank has abandoned its responsibility. The only party that wins when homes are abandoned is big banks. We should not allow this practice to go on any longer. Now is the time Main Street stops paying for the financial and housing crisis it did not create.

Knights hold off county archrival


By KIRK DOUGAL Times Bulletin Publisher kdougal@timesbulletin.com MIDDLE POINT As crosscounty rivalries go, the ongoing competition between Crestview and Lincolnview has been occurring for more than 50 years. On Friday night, the two schools rejoined that feud as the Knights traveled to Middle Point and went home with a hard-fought 47-36 Northwest Conference win over the Lancers. Although the Crestview victory was not over until late in the contest - Lincolnview was down by only five points with the ball and less than three minutes remaining - what proved to be the deciding quarter was the second when the Knights outscored the Lancers 14-2. Defensively is where we have to make our money, Crestview coach Jeremy Best said about the second period. The bad part was that we forced them into several turnovers and then we would turn it right back over. I know we had a 14-point lead at the half but we needed to convert some more of those open-court situations and were just not doing a very good job of that right now. We did a good job keeping them from converting early in the second quarter, agreed Lincolnview coach Rob Welch. It was our unforced turnovers in the second quarter and then we couldnt make a shot. We missed a couple of shots and then we got a little bit frustrated because things werent going our way. And then it affected us on the defensive end and we gave up some easy layups and a wide-open 3. Neither team started the game on fire in what would prove to be an old-fashioned, man-toman matchup for most of the night. Crestviews Damian Helm opened the scoring two minutes into the contest with two shots from beyond the arc before Lincolnviews Kade Carey answered with a trey. Clayton Longstreth scored from the block to narrow the count to 6-5 before Helm made his third 3 of the quarter. That just about accounted for all the scoring except for a Kyle Williams trey for the Lancers as they trailed by only 10-8 after one period. The Lancers shooting continued to go colder and colder as they turned the ball over in the second eight minutes. Nick Adam cut through the lane for a bucket and hit a 3 around a Helm putback. Helm put in a free throw for an 8-0 Knight run to start the period before Carey hit a 17-footer to stop the bleeding. But that was all the home team could muster as Adam hit from the elbow and Helm nailed a 10-foot floater as Crestview went into the half leading 24-10. Although neither coach was happy with the way his team took care of the ball in the first half - Crestview had nine turnovers to Lincolnviews 12 - it was the shooting where the big difference showed. Crestview was 8-of-17 (47%) from the field, including 4-of-7 (57.1%) from beyond the arc; the Lancers were only 4-of16 (25%) shooting. Lincolnview came out in the third quarter with their defensive intensity ratcheted up for the final 16 minutes. Lincolnviews leading scorer Sloan Whitaker, held scoreless in the first half on a fine defensive effort by the Knights Matt Holden, finally got on the board the only way open - at the line. He hit 6-of-6 attempts in the period; Carey nailed a 3 along with a Longstreth putback as Lincolnview clawed back within six on two different occasions. However, Helm answered again for Crestview in the last two minutes, hitting a runner down the lane and his fourth bomb to put his team back up 33-22 at the end of the third period. But this is an old rivalry and no game is ever quite out of reach. Adam hit a free throw to start the fourth but Lincolnviews Nick Leeth hit a jumper, Longstreth an old-fashioned hoop-and-harm in the lane and he followed with an 18-footer from the wing. Suddenly, the game was 34-29 with nearly five minutes left to play and Coach Best called a timeout to stop the rally. Dallis Gibson and Whitaker traded buckets before Best had his team go the 4-corner route with a little less than four minutes to play. Cameron Etzler got loose in the spread for a baseline drive before Williams hit two free throws in response. From there on out, the line was where the game was decided as only a long 3 from Whitaker went into the net to go with all the charity tosses. I told our kids that I was pleased. We played really hard, Best added. It was just an ugly game. Both teams played very hard defense. Damian played fabulous. Hes just a sophomore but you can see his confidence growing as we go along and he gave us some great minutes. We checked Whitakers shot chart in the first half and Matts defense was huge on him and he relishes that role. And our other guys stepped up, too. For Coach Welch, he admired what he saw from Crestviews Helm but he was disappointed in seeing how the game leaked away at the end. Damian played well; he played for us all summer. Hes a great kid and he works hard, Welch added. But there are two teams that truly beat us. All the other games we have had chances to win. Right here, we are down six with the ball and playing well. Then we have a turnover or take a bad shot instead of thinking that this is what we need to do to execute. We have got focus on

Cougar boys slip by Bulldogs in 2 OTs


By Brian Bassett Times Bulletin Sports Editor sports@timesbulletin.com VAN WERT Van Wert coach Dave Froelichs 402nd win may be one of the most exciting. On the night Coach Froelich was honored for joining the 400-win club in the state of Ohio with a win over Kenton last Friday, the Cougars beat the Elida Bulldogs in dramatic fashion - a 66-61 doubleovertime victory. Tonight [the win] stacks pretty high. It was a great game. Both team laid it all out, came through some adversity from both teams. It was probably a fun game to watch, Froelich said of the game which also marked the return of the Van Wert High School Winter Homecoming. The Bulldogs stormed out to an 8-2 lead to begin the game behind six points from its 2-time reigning Western Buckeye League Player of the Year, senior forward Reggie McAdams. The spurt forced a Cougar timeout. Out of the break, Van Wert answered with a rally of their own, a 10-1 run which featured baskets by senior guard Reggie Phillips, senior forward Chadd Phillips and junior forward A.J. Smith, whose 3-pointer later gave the Cougars a 12-11 advantage with 1:53 to play in the quarter. Van Wert continued the run and a Reggie Phillips steal and score gave then a 16-13 to end the first quarter. Senior forward Cory Royster returned the lead to the Bulldogs midway through the second quarter with a putback to make the score 21-20. Reggie Phillips tied the game with 1:11 to play in the half with a drive and score but the Bulldogs put a rally together heading into the break. Two McAdams free throws in the final seconds of the quarter made the score at the half 32-28, Elida. Senior guard Jacob Myers opened the third quarter

that kind of stuff. But we never gave up. Helm led all scorers with 25 points while Adam added 10 off the bench. The Knights continued their good shooting throughout the contest, making 15-of-34 attempts from the field, a 44-percent clip, including 5-of11 (45.5%) from beyond the arc. They made 12-of-20 free throws for 60 percent. Linclolnview was led by Whitaker with 11 points while Longstreth added nine. The Lancers never did get hot, making only 11-of-39 field goal attempts for 28 percent, with 4-of-10 (40%) from 3-point land. The home team did shoot a sizzling 77 percent from the charity stripe on 10-of-13 attempts. Crestview won the battle of the boards 24-19, with Helm leading with eight. Longsgtreth led the Lancers with nine. The Knights won the turnover contest as well 20-22. With the win, Crestview goes to 9-2 overall and 3-1 in the Northwest Conference. Lincolnview falls to 3-8, 1-3. The Knight junior varsity also took home a win, holding off a hard-charging Lincolnview squad 39-36 as a 3-point attempt bounced away at the buzzer.

FISHING REPORT

AKRON Many northeast Ohio anglers consider the combination of falling snow and dipping temperatures a recipe for hanging up the fishing equipment until spring. There is a unique segment of the outdoorsmen and women, however, who are eager to trek outside and brave the cold in order to catch some fish, according to

ing good, non-cotton socks and loose waterproof boots. Boots that are a bit too big help circulation continue throughout your feet. Lastly, mittens are the best way to go to protect your hands from the icy water. Some winter anglers even wear thin, rubber gloves underneath mittens to allow flexibility. It doesnt hurt to bring extra clothes, too! Be safe: No ice is safe ice! For one person and gear (approx, 200 pounds) at least four inches

Bulldogs back ahead, 54-52, but Myers countered with a layup to tie the game at 54. Royster made a free throw to put Elida up one but a pair of Smith free throws and another basket by Reggie Phillips gave Van Wert a 58-55 lead with 1:13 to play. Royster countered with a free throw but Chadd Phillips extended the Van Wert lead to four, 60-56, with a layup. Mathias answered with a basket for the Bulldogs but Myers hit two more free throws to return the Cougar lead to four with 21.9 seconds to play. Myers was fouled again after a missed Elida shot

the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR), Division of Wildlife. More adventurous anglers can catch a variety of fish, including yellow perch, sunfish like bluegill, red-ears and pumpkinseed, crappie, walleye and, in a few places, even northern pike, said Phil Hillman, fish management supervisor for Division of Wildlife in northeast Ohio. Most lakes and ponds that anglers fish in the warmer months are just as good in the winter, so with a little skill and knowledge about fishing on the frozen water, you can be reeling in fish in no time. Learning about the body of water to be fished, necessary equipment to take along, how to dress properly and, most importantly, knowing safety precautions are all components of a pleasant winter fishing experience, noted Hillman. Get to know the lake: To begin learning about a certain lake, free lake maps are available through the Division of Wildlife. These maps depict lake boundaries, good fishing spots, parking locations and water depths. Call Wildlife District Three in Akron at (330) 644-2293 or visit www.wildohio.com to obtain a map of your favorite lake. For panfish, Punderson Lake in Geauga County, Pymatuning Lake in Ashtabula County and the Portage Lakes reservoirs in Summit County are long-time producers. For walleye, Berlin Lake in Portage, Mahoning, and Stark counties, as well as Mosquito Lake in Trumbull County (also good for pike) or Pymatuning Lake in Ashtabula County are all excellent. Anglers should keep an eye on water levels fluctuating, though. Equipment: Some basic tools you will need before you hit the hard water: bait bucket, dip net, flashers, depth finders (or underwater cameras to see what lies beneath the ice), gaff hook, hook disgorger, ice auger, ice chisel, ice fishing rods (short, with or without a spring-type bobber), jigging spoons or other similar lures (Rapala jigs, Sonars, VibeEs) for predacious fish, live bait such as minnow (for larger fish) or wax worms (for smaller fish), seat, skimmer, sled for transporting equipment, tip-ups (tripping mechanisms which send up a flag on a strike) and pinmins (small ice jigs that can be tipped with live bait). Other items to bring: extra clothes, energy-rich snacks and warm beverages, a coil of rope, first aid kit, waterproof matches, ice awls, floatation device, cell phone (in a sealed plastic bag). Dress for Success: Layering your clothes makes it much easier to remove or add clothes depending on your comfort level. The first layer should be a good pair of thermal underwear that keeps perspiration away from the skin. The second layer should be wool, fleece or flannel, followed by a third layer of windproof or waterproof material. A warm, wool or fleece hat is also important! Avoid cotton altogether because it is a very poor insulator. Dont forget to keep those toes toasty by wear-

of ice is critical. ... Always fish with a partner or in an area with several other anglers present. ... Let others know exactly where you are going and when you plan to return. ... Place a cell phone in a plastic bag to protect it from moisture in case you get wet. ... Sprinkle sand around your feet for better traction on the ice. ... Wear a life vest in case of an emergency or at least take along a PFD seat cushion. ... Avoid areas of feeder streams, springs, bridge pilings, docks and dam structures since ice is usually very thin What to do: If you fall into the water, try to remain as calm as possible. ... Slip your loose boots off to better tread water. ... Use ice awls to pull yourself out of the water. ... If no ice awls are available, call for help and try swimming out; let your body rise up to firm ice and crawl out. ... Stay flat, distributing your weight on the ice. ... Keep your clothes on once out of the water. This will keep you insulated.. ... If someone else falls in, use REACH (stick or fishing pole), THROW (rope or PFD), ROW (row or push a boat) and GO (call for help). Anglers should call Wildlife District Three in Akron at (330) 644-2293 with questions or concerns before venturing out. View an ice fishing safety chart. Lake Erie Regulations to Remember: The daily bag limit for Lake Erie walleye is 6 fish. The minimum size limit is 15 inches. The daily bag limit for yellow perch is 30 fish per angler on all Ohio waters of Lake Erie. The steelhead daily bag limit is 2 fish per angler with a minimum size limit of 12 inches. The Lake Erie black bass (largemouth and smallmouth) daily bag limit is 5 fish and a minimum size limit of 14 inches. Walleye: With unseasonably warm weather (as of Tuesday), fish are still being caught in open water NW of the Huron River and also at night around Cleveland harbor. Trolling crankbaits in the top 15 feet of water has produced most of the fish. ... The water temperature is 36 degrees off of Toledo and 37 degrees off of Cleveland according to the nearshore marine forecast. Lake Erie Weather Forecast for waters beyond 5 nautical miles of shore on the lake Today: West winds 10-20 knots becoming southwest and diminishing to around 10 knots.

The Cougars finished with game without the services of Hurless and Moonshower, as Hurless fouled out in the first overtime and Moonshower in the second.

The warm and fuzzy feeling that arises when helping others is what drives many to donate money or do good for others. Studies show that altruism may actually have profound physiological effects. Scientists have determined that the feelings of happiness associated with doing good can be traced to a particular pleasure center of the brain that can be viewed and measured with brain scans. There are physical components to doing thoughtful or charitable things, according to a report in The New York Times. This bodes well for donations as the recession continues to hit the country in a big way. Individuals who are facing layoffs or pay cuts may still dig deep into their pockets for charitable donations because they seek the high that donating provides. And it isnt just financial donations that make a person happy. Any type of goodwill toward others is a way to generate the endorphins and mood-boosting properties of altruism. That means there are plenty of opportunities that can

Giving makes the body feel good


boost feelings of happiness. Visit seniors in a retirement community or assisted living facility and sit and chat for a while. Knock on an elderly neighbors door and find out if you can help out with any chores around the house. Bring a friend breakfast or lunch simply because you were thinking of them and wanted to surprise them. Take in the trash cans for your entire street, especially if the weather is nasty. Tell a fast-food employee or another hard worker that theyre doing a good job. Complaints come easy in the service industry, but praise is often hard to get. Volunteer to watch neighborhood children so other mothers and fathers can get a much-needed break. Dont ignore a phone solicitation from a charity organization. Get more information and do your best to donate. If you practice a religion, go to your house of worship and participate in community togetherness. Hold a door, smile at someone or offer to get something down from a tall shelf in a store. Its the little things that can bring pleasure.

Share something you have with another person who doesnt. That may mean generator-supplied electric power during a power outage, a special snack at school lunch, a tool, a piece of clothing or

whatever you can think of. There are so many ways to give to others, and one of the biggest benefits is the smiles and positive feelings giving provides.

Our local churches invite you to join them for their activities and services.

St. Johns Elementary School fifth-graders are participating in the e3smartSM program, a major outreach in innovative energy efficiency education. The e3smartSM program is offered to students in grades 5-12 within the 61 county AEP Ohio service territory and is designed to bring math and science learning into students homes to reduce energy demands and usage. e3smartSM uses a home to school model to educate families about energy conservation and energy efficiency. Students use energy efficiency devices to learn about required energy benchmarks in the state science standards. Students take home the items used in the classroom and apply what they learned in the classroom in their home, ultimately installing the devices. For example, students use CFLs to learn about electricity, efficiency, heat, energy transformations, and other science principles. They collect data, graph, and identify trends in data-all the best practices in science education. Then, they take home the CFLs, share their new knowledge, and install them with their families. Each participating student receives a kit of energy saving devices for use at home and activities for family participation. Once installed, these electricity and fuel-saving measures provide the opportunity to see how low-cost and no-cost measures can effectively lower energy use. Science teacher Diana Wrasman attended an extensive professional develop-

St. Johns fifth-graders learning innovative energy efficiency


ment training as part of the project. With e3smart SM, our students will learn at school about energy forms, transformation and conservation. They will study the five major uses of energy in the home, and will be encouraged to apply what they learn at home to help their families save energy and money, said Diana Wrasman. The e3smartSM program is part of the AEP Ohio gridSMART SM initiative. This cost effective program will help the company meet its targets for reducing electricity consumption enacted by the state of Ohio in Senate Bill 221. The schools and families incur no cost to participate in the program. Last year participating students reported installing over 70,000 CFL light bulbs, replacing existing incandescent bulbs. The students also reported installing outlet and switch gaskets, weather stripping, door sweeps, and low-flow showerheads. In addition, they adjusted their thermostats to a more efficient setting and lowered their water heating setting. e3smart SM continues AEPs long-standing tradition of enriching energy efficiency education in schools, said Jon Williams, manager, Energy Efficiency/ Demand Response. OEPs success with energy education over more than 20 years and their continued innovation with both teacher training and with the earlier pilot project made them the natural choice to implement e3smartSM. We are educating the next generation of

St. Johns fifth-graders are learning about innovative energy efficiency through the e3smartSM program through AEP Ohio. Each participating student receives a kit of energy saving devices for use at home and activities for family participation. AEP Ohio customers about how they can save energy for lighting, electronics and appliances, space heating and cooling, building envelope (insulation and fenestration) and water heating. Ohio Energy Projects original initiative was implemented four years ago with the support of an Ohio EPA grant and then awarded the distinction of Outstanding Environmental Education Project of the Year in the State of Ohio by the Ohio EPA in 2008. It has been used multiple times since then in districts throughout Ohio. As a nonprofit organization, The Ohio Energy Project is dedicated to serving teachers and offering the best energy education materials available to teachers and students in Ohio.

The Ohio Energy Project (OEP), an award-winning energy education organization, is administering the project. During the last school year, the program reached over 15,900 students and their families in schools throughout Ohio.

The Herald 11

Tomorrows Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol
SUNDAY, JANUARY 15, 2012 Some interesting developments are indicated for you in the year ahead concerning several choice relationships. Harmony is now likely to prevail with people who gave you difficulties in the past, proving these connections to be productive and worthwhile. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Your amiable, outgoing manner will attract all types of people. In fact, your peers will find you so appealing that theyll be trying to emulate your behavior and tactics. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Be a good listener as well as a good observer, regardless of who is doing the talking. You might learn something of significance from a person whom youd least expect. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- A joint endeavor could work out better than expected, especially if it involves someone with whom youve previously experienced success. History can repeat itself in your favor. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Regulating your pace could greatly help you with your attitude and outlook, as well as prevent restlessness. Seek activities of the lighter sort. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -If you can, you should devote some relaxing hours to your favorite hobby, and if it challenges your manual and mental dexterity, so much the better. You need something enjoyable to take the load off. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Forgo your usual activities and/ or routine for the day and engage in something different. A little variety in your life could prove to be refreshing and enjoyable. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Regardless of what you do, the secret for producing desirable results is to maintain a consistent pace. Stop yourself from operating in fits and starts and youll find far greater satisfaction in your efforts. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Keep an open mind, regardless of who is doing the talking. Surprisingly, youre likely to learn something of real value from a person whose ideas you usually discount. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -Sharing what you have with others will not only please the recipients but afford you a great deal of satisfaction as well. Joy can be awakened through giving as well as taking. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- The ball is finally in your court. You should now be able to control a situation that up until now has been dominated by outside factors and was way beyond your reach. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- If possible, avoid any social involvement that includes people with whom you have little in common. Even if the event sounds fun, it might not necessarily prove so for you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- This is an excellent day to pick up the phone and plan to do something with a person whom you recently met and would like to get to know better. He or she is likely to welcome the prospect. MONDAY, JANUARY 16, 2012 The very goals you considered to be special are likely to be relegated to the rear ranks in the year ahead, replaced by some new targets that youll deem both potentially profitable and more exciting. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Unless you are extremely mindful of your behavior at a social gathering, a sensitive friend might misread what you say or how you act and end up with hurt feelings. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Being impulsive or too restless could be the precursor of unsound reasoning. It could cause you to make some unwise changes in situations that are running smoothly. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- If you want to make a good impression on others, the last thing you should do is boast about or embellish your achievements. Nothing turns others off faster than a braggart. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Dont count your chickens before theyre hatched, because financial trends might not be what you think they are. Believing you can get the funds isnt the same as having them in your hot little hands. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Usually youre bright enough not to succumb to flattery, but someone who is a master at compliments is likely to get you to lower your guard. Watch out when they try to take advantage. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -Theres only a ghost of a chance that youll be able to achieve what you set out to do, mostly because youll be too busy handling things for others. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -Just because someone is intriguing is no reason to get too deeply involved too quickly. He or she might have lots of charm but little substance. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Bank only on yourself and not on Lady Luck to help you achieve a complicated objective. Chances are, when you need her the most shell be cavorting elsewhere. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- To assuage your ego, you might pretend to be knowledgeable about something and suffer extreme embarrassment when asked to school others on that particular subject. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- It behooves you to avoid involvements with those who are careless and/or extravagant with their finances. You might have to cough up their share when they cant pay. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- In order to avoid a future misunderstanding, you should make sure all agreements are negotiated with extreme care. All participants must know the ground rules and be willing to follow them. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Its not a good idea to pretend to have taken care of something when you clearly havent, thinking you wont get caught. You can bet your bottom dollar you will.
