Residents speak minds Group hears final department budgets

BY NANCY SPENCER Herald Editor nspencer@delphosherald.com BY NANCY SPENCER Herald Editor nspencer@delphosherald.com DELPHOS Delphos City Council heard remarks and questions from three citizens on the agenda at Mondays meeting. Former Fire Chief Wayne Suever sat in the Safety Committee meeting for discussion on increasing charges on EMS runs and charging for residential, business and mutual aid fire fighting. I agree with raising the rates for EMS runs to bring them in line with Medicare and Medicaid payments but charging for mutual aid is a bad idea, he began. It makes us an island. If we arent part of a mutual aid contract, we wont go out on mutual aid calls and save some money there but if we need mutual aid, it will be very costly. It will surpass the savings of not going on mutual aid calls. He also touched on contracts with Washington and Marion townships. You are going to lose money on the services that go above fire-fighting, Suever said. Last year, if we would not have made EMS runs to Marion Township, we would have lost $33,921 in EMS transports over and above the fire contract. In Washington Township, we would have lost $22,100 in transports. You need to keep those contracts with the townships. See RESIDENTS, page 3 DELPHOS Delphos City Councils Finance Committee met after the regular council meeting on Monday. Police Chief Kyle Fittro was first up. He outlined a budget of $1,078,650, just $6 over his target. This included $917,000 in salaries, benefits and other costs associated with payroll and $63,000 in overtime. Fittro said he was able to cut his overtime by using part-time employees with the blessing of the bargaining unit. It does go against their contract but they know its what we have to do to survive so they worked with us, Fittro said. If you look at my payroll expenses, it has steadily declined since 2009. Weve been shedding vehicles and full-time bodies and not replacing them. We have creatively scheduled and moved bodies around to make it work without loss of service. Fittro was asked what would happen to services if he had to lay off an officer. I cant just lay off an officer, Fittro explained. I have to get rid of all the part-

time employees before I can lay off a fulltime employee, so I would lose seven bodies, not just one. That would significantly impact services. Fittro provided a list of services his department might not be able to offer if that would happen, including: mutual aid to other departments, funeral escorts, bank escorts, bike patrol, low-level intoxicated person complaints, low-level underage drinking complaints, low-level liquor law violation complaints, low-level menacing complaints, disorderly conduct complaints, telephone harassment complaints, criminal trespassing, curfew complaints, non-violent animal complaints, non-injury motor vehicle accidents (public and private property) and all non-injury hitskip, to name a few. Fittro stressed this was a worst-case scenario and the draft was simply designed to get the organization thinking in this manner and produce dialogue. Fittro added that the budget he read without laying off the full- and part-time personnel works on paper but didnt know if it would work in real life. See BUDGETS, page 3

Elida concerned with loss of more state money

BY CYNTHIA YAHNA Herald Correspondent news@delphosherald.com ELIDA The Elida Village Council meeting on Tuesday evening began with two distinct topics. Mayor Ron Klopfenstein talked about House Bill 5 that is now pending in the Ohio Legislature. I spoke with a group of mayors in Ohio and they are very concerned about this House Bill 5, Mayor Klopfenstein said. The mayor explained the current House Bill contains a new provision dealing with pass-through entities. This provision allows an owner or partner in a business who receives profits from the business and owes tax to the municipality where the business is located, that owner or partner would have no tax obligation to his or her community of residence, he explained. The positive aspect will create uniformity in tax forms, processes and filing dates. The negative, the State of Ohio has already significantly reduced our general fund revenues by repealing estate taxes, major reductions in the local government funds and the elimination of personal property tax. Local governments cannot withstand further revenue loss. In the next two years, local governments will see a reduction of $720 million in funding from state sources. The total reduction amounts to $1.5 billion for the fiscal years 2010 through 2015. We strongly urge the rejection of this provision which will reduce the amount of income tax collected and jeopardize the stability of our General Fund, Klopfenstein said. He requested all council members read the letters concerning the
Wolfe praises community engagement

BY STEPHANIE GROVES Staff Writer sgroves@delphosherald.com DELPHOS Delphos City Schools Superintendent Kevin Wolfe had nothing but praise for the residents who attended the town hall forum for a discussion on Race to the Top last week during the school board meeting Monday. There were a lot of good questions and feedback, Wolfe said. Our administrative team was up front with answers. A plan is in the works to hold another public meeting in January or February with hopes of drawing a larger attendance. Wolfe gave his report on Race to the Top and said in June, teachers came in to meet with April Ely and run through Student Learning Objectives (SLO) and pre-assessments. Our staff really buys into it, Wolfe was complimentary. Mr. Edinger has done an outstanding job and is our permanent Ohios Teacher Evaluation System (OTES) expert. The OTES is a lot of work. Westrick has also done an outstanding job. Wolfe said the Race to the Top team will meet in a few weeks. The district has just begun year four of the program, which is the last year. Treasurer Brad Rostorfer said that the first year the district spent $4,000, the second $21,000, the third $60,000 and this final year, there is $15-16,000 remaining. Board President Perry Wiltsie asked if the process continued educational improvements through Race to the Top will continue beyond the fourth and final year. It will continue, Wolfe affirmed. We have developed resident experts who will lead us through the constant changes, Rostofer asserted. In the Finance Report, Rostorfer said he looked at the monthly reports which brought on discussion of planning for permanent repairs for structural and cosmetic issues with some school buildings in the district. He said there were also some personnel issues in the cafeteria which needed attention. In addition, representative of the Chamber of Commerce Clint Gable has asked to lease a chunk of land at the high school for a Welcome to Delphos sign and has asked for direction in the matter. Gable would like to attain them [plots of land] two at a time, Rostorfer said. Rostorfer led the Treasurers Report and recommended the approval of the consent agenda, minutes of last months regular meeting and finance Committee meeting, approval of Augusts invoices and fund balance statement, Budget

pass-through entities and if they agreed, to please sign and send to Governor John Kasich, Speaker of the House William G. Batchelder, Representative Peter Beck, Representative Matt Huffman and State Senator Keith Fabor. The second topic of discussion was a letter from the Ohio Department of Transportation concerning the Project Safe Routes, a grant from the state. Scott Fessler read a list of what the project would entail: Replacing missing sidewalks at the south side of Sunnydale between Baxter and Howard streets; Replacing missing sections of sidewalk at Pioneer Road from Elida Road to North Street; Improving crosswalk markings on Pioneer Road in front of Elida Elementary School; Installing crosswalk pavement markings on the west leg of Elida and Pioneer roads intersection; Upgrading traffic signal at Elida and Pioneer Roads; Improving curb ramps, signs and pavement markings within project limits; and Installing bike racks at the Elida Elementary and Middle School. This project would start in 2015. The Elida Board of Education will need to review the Project Safe Routes, due to the fact they will be responsible for maintenance within a 20year time frame, Village Fiscal Officer Janet Bonifas said. The council will contact the Elida Board of Education so they can review the details of Project Safe Routes. Bonifas said she believes they will need a special meeting once the Elida Board of Education discusses and votes on approval. The next village council meeting is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Sept. 24.

The department anticipates additional individuals will be arrested in the near future as a result of additional drug-related indictments. During late 2009, the police department began to notice an increase in drug-related activity and crime within the City of Delphos. The majority of this was attributed to heroin and opiate-based pain pills. In May of 2010, the department and the task force conducted a large drug-related roundup and arrested 19 drug trafficking defendants with 58 separate indictments in one day. During the course of 2011, local police and the task force arrested five separate drug trafficking defendants with numerous indictments over a period of time. These were done one defendant at a time and not as a large roundup. In March of 2012, the groups conducted another large drug-related roundup and arrested 14 drug trafficking defendants with 43 separate
indictments in one day. In addition to this, since late 2009, drug-related search warrants have been served on 21 separate residences within the City of Delphos. The West Central Ohio Crime Task Force is comprised of officers from the following agencies: Allen County Sheriffs Office, Van Wert County Sheriffs Office, Lima Police Department, Delphos Police Department and multiple state/federal agencies. The task force also works closely with the Putnam and Paulding County Sheriffs Departments. This task force operates within a multi-county area to combat drugs and major crimes.

Suever also asked why when a full-time firefighter was out on medical leave, the current chief didnt slip back into shift work to fill those hours. Safety Service Director Greg Berquist told The Herald that was illegal and grounds for a grievance from the bargaining unit and would have been very costly to the city in unfair labor practice fines. I have on last thing to say, Suever said in closing, If you cant put meat and potatoes on the table at home, you dont take the family to the movies. We are talking about laying off safety personnel and there are people in the recreation department working. Tim Honigford made a repeat appearance Monday evening. He started with a grievance about a list of questions his brother wanted to submit to Finance Committee Chair Joe Martz. My brother wanted to give Mr. Martz a list of questions and he refused to take them, Honigford said. At the last budget meeting, he said we could submit questions and they would be answered. I want to know why he

wouldnt take them. Martz addressed Honigfords concern saying, I did not refuse to take them, I said they needed to be give to the the mayor or the safety service director. If you still have them, please give them to one of those gentleman. Honigford passed the questions to Berquist to be read during the Finance Committee meeting following the council meeting. Honigford also questioned councils stand on upcoming negotiations with the collective bargaining units for fire and police. Will the city seek concessions at these negotiations and can you give a total in cost savings you are looking for? he asked. Berquist said proposals have been discussed with department heads but nothing further can be discussed due to contract language with the two entities. City Law Director Clayton Osting stepped in on this question. It is an ethics violation for council to participate in any way, shape or form in negotiations and that includes discussing terms, etc., here, he said. Resident Dan Grothause also addressed council, questioning information from the
Finance Committee meeting on Aug. 26. At the last meeting when the water and sewer budgets were gone over, why didnt we hear about the reductions from the production of water and the treatment of sewer from the loss of Resers? he asked. Council President Kim Riddell answered, saying those reductions in production were taken off but dont come out of department budgets, they come off operations. Grothause also wanted to know if any councilmen had asked for the last fire contract to see how much the overtime in the department was above what was in the contract. No one had. Not every person in town gets the paper or listens to the radio, Grothause said in closing. When you want elected, you go door-to-door. Why dont you do that on these big issues? You have an opportunity to find what we all think. I know a lot of you guys are in your last term. Dont be a lame-duck council. Dont wait for the next guy. Get something accomplished now. The next council meeting will begin at 7 p.m. Monday.
Three Fort Jennings youths displayed some of the old bottles they found this summer when they were walking in the Auglaize River when the water level was low because of the drought. Brian McNamara, John Hawk and Brian Schulte cleaned the bottles and discovered that some of them were from the former Steinle-Delphos Company, Western Ohio Bottling Works in Van Wert and Paulding, Vosslers of Wapakoneta, Mahers of Napoleon and Seps Beverage of Fremont. A special guest night was held recently by Catholic Ladies of Columbia with a potluck dinner. Report on the convention was given by Gertie Patton and Bertha Schmelzer. A card party will be held Sept. 20 with chairladies Agnes Knebel and Florence Trentman. Assisting will be Agnes Ditto, Ottillia Gable, Elizabeth Hickey, Mildred Korb, Bea Osting, Henrietta Pothast, Marie Grothause and Dorothy Schimmoeller. 50 Years Ago 1963 Trinity Methodist Church served as host church Tuesday for one of four Educational Seminars to be held each year for the Womans Society of Christian Service in the Lima district. The morning session was opened by Mrs. Darrell Millisor with a call to worship and by Mrs. Paul Rozelle, president of the local society, who welcomed the estimated 150 guests. Delphos Modern Mothers Chapter of the Child Conservation League, held its annual husbands party, a cook-out, Sept. 8 at Stadium Park. Chief chef at the grill was Rudolf Lucas, assisted by Elmer Helmkamp, Murray Cohen and Dr. David Morgan, husbands of the hostesses. Volunteering their assistance at the grill were Jerry Backus and Edward Fritz. Members of the Dorcas Bible Study Group of St. Peter Evangelical Lutheran Church met Tuesday evening in the parish hall. Jennie Alexander gave the devotions, which was followed by group singing. Chapter 9 of the Book of Mark was led by Esther Werner in discussion.
When Sgt. McNeal retired, instead of replacing her, we brought back our task force guy. Last year, as a member of the task force, his contribution was 200 indictments on more than 60 drug traffickers with 21 search warrants served, Fittro said. That is a huge chunk out of our drug problem. Those people were selling heroin and prescription drugs. Big stuff. We also have a lot of crime associated with people who use those drugs. Fittros budget took a $41,000 hit when he learned Monday evening more funds would be transferred to the Police Retirement Fund in October. Parks and Recreation Supervisor Craig Mansfield gave his budget, including the parks, the swimming pool and concessions. Mansfield trimmed his parks budget by $26,000 by proposing the loss of three season employees. Payroll, related expenses and benefits were $157,250. His other expenses included $15,000 for electricity for his buildings and all the parks, $19,000 for maintenance of equipment and facilities, $12,000 for operating supplies (paper towels, toilet paper, winterization of restroom, cleaning supplies, etc.) and $10,000 for land improvements including seeding, top dressing on diamonds and costs for vandalism ($3,800 this year). Some of these expenses would be a lot more if not for donations and other fundraising, Mansfield said. Ads on the scoreboard pay for the football facilities and we have chemicals donated for the field. If I do lose those three seasonal employees, the water, sewer and reservoir properties will have to taken care of by someone else. I wont have anyone to mow those. Mansfield did not have season-ending totals for the swimming pool and concessions but did say revenues were down from last year due to much cooler temperatures. Councilman Mark Clement announced he was putting the group that was very vocal last year when they thought the pool was going to close on notice that the pool is one of the items that might have to go away. We had a lot of people in here asking about what they could do, Clement said. We need those people to step forward again. Fire Chief Dave McNeal had approximately $120,000 in proposed reductions, including his retirement and buyout. His payroll was $437,630 with associated costs and $20,000 in overtime.
McNeal was asked how came up with the $20,000 in overtime when 2013 overtime figures we more than triple that. He said that having a fulltime firefighter off for several months had boosted the overtime. He added that there was only $2,500 left of a grant received in 2007-08 for turnout gear and the city needed to be prepared to replace 37 sets at approximately $2,500 each. EMS figures were better coming in $4,900 less than the targeted budget. He added that the $2,000 in his travel and transportation budget and $2,000 in his training budget would not be nearly enough for his needs. We have seven paramedics who need 86 hours of continuing education credits every two years; seven intermediate who need 60; and 15 basics who need 48, he said. We do what can in-house but the rest has to be done through an instructor. The committee then addressed questions that were submitted in writing. The first was Why is there no grand summation of the budget? Berquist answered by saying they had to get the complete picture to put it all together. Secondly, Why line by line with all the trivial expenses? Committee head Martz answered. That is what council asked for, he said. We need the whole picture before we make decisions that will affect those departments and ultimately, our citizens. Third, Why are no copies of what is being talked about provided so the those in attendance can follow along? Berquist said he had no problem providing those and they are always available for the asking during business hours as well. Fourth, Why the gag rule during a public meeting? Martz said there was no gag rule in place. We just need to make sure we can get through everything in the time we have, he added. We will take questions at the end of every meeting, time permitting. At the end of the meeting, Berquist proposed council pass a temporary budget for 2014 as he and department heads continued to look at their budgets for possible cuts. Councilman Knebel said he felt the citys priorities might need straightened out. We have a fire department with lots of overtime and a police department down to a bare minimum, he said.

Bulldogs take measure of Lady Jeffcats

By JIM METCALFE Staff Writer jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com COLUMBUS GROVE Jeffersons volleyball team was coming off a rough loss to Antwerp the night before when they invaded Columbus Grove High School to tangel with the Northwest Conference power Bulldogs Tuesday night. They fought to the very end in set number 1, faltering 25-22. The hosts had too much size, power and versatility in finishing the sweep 25-9, 25-12. The first set, we played with the great effort we need to play with to have a chance for success. We had a chance to win it but we werent consistent enough, Jefferson coach Joy DeVelvis explained. If we had played the next two sets like we did the first, wed have had a much better chance to win it. For some reason, were struggling with consistency in our play. Right now, its more mental than anything; like in the second set, we got down 7-1 and by the time we finally broke their serve, we were down too far. We have to address that in practice. Pacing the Wildcats (3-4, 0-1 NWC), senior Rileigh Stockwell had four kills and seven digs, followed by senior Katie Goergens (3 kills; 6/7 serving, 2 aces) and junior Brooke Culp (8 assists). For Lady Bulldog (5-2, 1-0 NWC) first-year head coach Susan Jones, it took her team a while to get going. For some reason, we needed to wake up in the first set. Once we did and got the win, we got it rolling, Jones noted. These girls know how to play the game with their experience and smarts; I didnt need to reinvent the wheel when I took over this program this summer. Like anytime, you always want to improve your defense and your serving. We are looking for steady improvement in what were doing, the things we can control. Leading Groves attack were senior Julia Wynn (18 kills, 2 blocks), Sammie Stechschulte (7 kills), Rachel Schumacher (19 assists; 11/11 serving), Kelli Vorst (11/11 serving, 3 aces; 10 digs) and Hope Schroeder (7 digs; 2 aces). DeVelvis also credited the Bulldogs for their effort. They have so much depth and versatility, plus they have a lot more size than we do, she added. For example, they are running offensive options at the net we havent seen yet this year. To try and slow down hitting, you need to get blocks and touches to give your defense a chance to dig it up. It took us a while to adjust to their offense; we werent getting those touches until later. Jones figures her team has a couple more things to address. We want to speed up our offense even more, she added. We were bumped up to Division III and that means well be facing powers like Liberty-Benton and Ottawa-Glandorf in the tournament. That is one of the things we are shooting for, so we have to improve in that area in particular and just everything overall. Grove won the junior varsity match 25-13, 25-19. Grove visits Miller City tonight with a 6:30 p.m. varsity match (no JV). Jefferson returns home to host Crestview 6 p.m. Thursday.
Jays register shutout of Lady Knights

By JIM METCALFE Staff Writer jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com CONVOY St. Johns girls soccer coach John Munoz sure felt like his Lady Blue Jays didnt get their moneys worth for how well they played on a hot and humid Tuesday night. He was referring to the 3-0 shutout victory over the host Lady Knights at the Crestview Sports Complex. We had so many chances to score. I felt that we could easily have had more than three goals, he explained. We created so many great scoring opportunities but we just couldnt finish for whatever reason. We hit the bar a couple of times and just were off-target not my much on several others. Other times, we just didnt have the timing on some great crosses; were getting there but not yet. For Crestview coach Melissa Mefferd, the struggles are on the offensive end. We have a hard time putting together an offensive sequence. Weve made a conscious decision to now focus more on the defensive end, she explained. We arent really going to score a lot of goals and feel that packing it in more will give us a chance to hold our opponents down and not give up a lot of goals, especially with a new goalkeeper: Alyssa (Walter) was only playing her third match in that position and she played well but she also faced a lot of pressure. The Jays (4-4-1) had one chance at the 36:10 mark but senior Lindsey Warnecke was wide from 17 yards. At the 30:29 mark, off a cross pass from freshman Carleigh Ankerman from the right side, Blue Jay senior Madison Kreeger got control; with the senior Guest (11 saves versus 23 shots ongoal) slightly out of position, Kreeger fired a 4-yarder inside the right post for a 1-0 edge. Both teams struggled to get into position for good attempts at

Lady T-Birds storm by Lady Green
By BOB WEBER DHI Correspondent news@delphosherald.com OTTOVILLE Tuesday night, with temperatures flirting with the 100,degree mark, the Lima Central Catholic Lady Thunderbirds traveled to Ottoville to take on the Lady Green in their annual non-league girls soccer matchup. The visitors used their great speed to subdue the Lady Green 5-1. The Lady T-Birds did not waste time once the clock started as they took advantage of a handball called on a Lady Big Green defender at the 38:18 mark in the box and senior Meredith Shepherd sailed the penalty shot by the Lady Green goalie, giving the visitors a 1-0 lead. Shepherd and fellow midfielder junior Liz Taflinger continued their pressure on the Lady Green defense with shots deflecting off crossbars and sailing left and right of the goal mouth.
Taflinger at the 32:33 mark found herself with the ball at the 25-yard mark and sent a high bending shot towards the goal, which eluded the Lady Green goalie in giving the T-Birds a 2-0 lead. The Lady Green had several opportunities to get their offense kick-started but were called for offsides several times and had their passes just miss the target and get cleared by the T-Bird defense. The final 20 minutes saw the Lady T-Birds continue their assault on the Lady Green goal and at the 3:45 mark, freshmen Emma Baumgartner got her teams third goal on the evening, giving the Lady T-Birds a 3-0 halftime lead. The second half began much like the first with Shepherd, Taflinger,and Baumgartner controlling the ball and sending various shots on goal. However, at the 37:21 mark the Lady Green got their first break of the game when junior Monica Sarka was taken down in the box by the T-Bird defense, setting up a penalty kick. Sarka did not disappoint, sending her shot past the T-Bird goalie in making the score 3-1. The Lady Green never threatened after Sarkas goal and found numerous members of their team either suffering injuries or struggling with the heat. The Lady T-Birds, under the direction of head coach Mike Santaguida, added two additional goals in the half to make the final score 5-1. Senior Tristan Selby scored at the 23:37 mark and Shepherd rounded out the scoring with her second goal of the night at 4:24. The Lady T-Birds (2-2-1) had 15 shots on-goal on the evening. The T-Birds will next be in action on Saturday as LibertyBenton comes to town for a home match starting at 2 p.m. The Lady Green (2-4-0) had only one shot on-goal for the evening and will travel to Miller City Thursday night for a PCL matchup with the Lady Wildcats. Musketeer boys down Rangers The Fort Jennings boys soccer team registered a 2-0 shutout of New Knoxville Tuesday. The Musketeers (4-3-1) got both tallies in the second half: in the sixth minute of the second half as Mark Metzger found the net on a penalty kick after a push in the box; and in the 14th minute, when Alex Berelsman assisted Metzger. Fort Jennings outshot the Rangers (1-31) 14-5 (6-3 the first half) and the corners kicks 5-0. New Knoxvilles Dean Frankenburg had nine saves: Musketeers Ryan Koester and Alex Vetter had a save each. Jennings hosts Miller City 5 p.m. Friday. Bearcats outlast Panthers SPENCERVILLE The Spencerville Bearcats defeated the Paulding Panthers 13-25, 25-21, 25-19, 18-25 and 15-3 in Northwest Conference volleyball action Tuesday at Spencerville. The Bearcats were led by Megan Miller with 10 kills. Maddy Hollar led with 12 digs and Schylar Miller led with 20 assists. Amanda Crider led the team in aces with six and served 11 straight serves in the fifth set. The first set was really disappointing; we got out to a 10-4 lead and completely fell apart. We did do a nice job bouncing back in the second and third set to take the 2-1 lead, Spencerville coach Joshua Early noted. The fourth set was back and forth but Paulding did a nice job forcing a fifth set. The first seven points of the fifth set was back and forth as we took a 4-3 lead.
Tuesday Round Up
Amanda then took over and served 11 in a row to give us the win; she served really well tonight, especially when we needed it. Megan had another great game and lead the team in kills with 10. I am encouraged to see that even though we did not play our best game tonight we found a way to win. Our team stuck together and was able to push our winning streak to three. Spencerville hosts Ada Thursday. Kalida boys blank Miller City By DAVE BONINSEGNA DHI Correspondent zsportslive@yahoo.com KALIDA Not only was Tuesday night the battle of the Wildcats when Miller City traveled to Kalida for boys high school soccer action but the top spot in the Putnam County League was also up for grabs. The host Wildcats controlled the field position early on, keeping the ball in their offensive end of the pitch; with two first-half goals and an insurance score in the second, they blanked their guests 3-0. Adam Langhals, Devin Kortokrax and Trevor Guisinger completed the trifecta for the home team. Kalida took repeated shots at Miller City goalkeeper, Hunter Berner, sending in 11 attempts in the first 40 minutes. Ian Richey delivered an attempt five minutes in and another with 31:12 to go in the half but the Miller City goalie kept the hosts off the board. However, as the old adage goes, if you keep shooting at the net, eventually something will go in. That came true with 20:53 left when Langhals delivered on a breakaway shot that went to the left of Berner, giving the home Cats a 1-0 advantage. Kalida continued its dominance of the field positioning and the 50-50 balls; the hometown Wildcats sent five more shots at the visiting goalie before Kortokrax scored on a header off of a corner kick. Richie delivered the boot in from the right side of the net, making its way all the way through the goal box and finding the noggin of Kortokrax and by Berner to make it a 2-0 Kalida advantage. In the second 40 minutes of play, Miller City appeared to be more aggressive, gaining control of the field position, but not the scoreboard. Miller City had not had a corner kick all game until midway into the second half but the advantage was for naught as Kalida keeper, Brent Hovest, thwarted the attempt. Everything seemed to click for Kalida on Tuesday night and none more evident than on their last goal of the contest. Kalida got an open shot by Grant Unverferth but the sophomore whiffed on the kick; however, Guisinger was right there to follow up on the delivery and placed it past Berner with 4:36 left to go, cementing the 3-0 victory. The win keeps Kalida unbeaten in the PCL at 2-0 and moves their overall record to 5-1-1; Miller City goes to 4-1-2 in all games and 0-1-1 in league play. FROM MONDAY Lady Jeffcats put complete match together to down Lancers By JIM METCALFE Staff Writer jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com FORT JENNINGS Jeffersons girls soccer unit put a complete match together in dominating Lincolnview 5-1 in Northwest Conference action at Keith Hamel Memorial Field in Fort Jennings. We played a complete contest from front to back. We werent happy with how we played Thursday and we worked them hard in practice Friday, Jefferson coach Josiah Stober said. We came out with

more Erin Williams floater from 25 yards hit the bar. The Jays finally up 2-0 at 15:34 when senior Jessica Koverman made a great individual move to maneuver into position from the right wing and went opposite from 10 yards. The Blue and Gold got a little bit of luck with 28.4 seconds left against a clearly spent Crestview crew when Kreeger fired a looper from the top of the 18-yard box, hitting the underside of the bar and bouncing over the goalline for a 3-0 edge. The Lady Knights had three solid opportunities in the second 40 minutes but all were denied by Wehri: at 35:10, when junior Kaitlin Hallfeldt tried from the left wing; at 26:25, when freshman Kylee Aglers 20-yarder was denied; and at 15:22, when senior Riley Guest was stopped from 15 yards on the right wing. We keep improving on the little things, like possessing the ball, controlling the ball, making good passes and good runs, Munoz added. Were getting good decisions, especially out of our midfield, as when to go long ball and when to go the short route. I felt we controlled the match in every phase. These girls work hard and well get better at timing things up and hopefully, finishing. It was hot but we rotated the girls well to keep them as ready to go as possible. Mefferd appreciated her teams effort to the end. I felt we played really well for the first 60-70 minutes but that is when the heat and our lack of depth really took over, especially with our injuries, she added. We were worn out and gave up a couple of goals late. We really need to get everybody back healthy so we can give girls more breathers and were always trying to improve our conditioning. Well work hard at practice (today) and hope the weather cuts us a break. That would be Thursday: the Jays host Continental and the Knights visit Fort Jennings, both at 5 p.m.
much better effort and maintained it for 80 minutes. That made a big difference. Anything we had to adjust at the half tonight, the girls took to well. For Lancer coach Katrina Smith, falling behind is becoming a trend. For some reason, we seem to struggle starting matches. I dont know if its a mental thing right now or what, Smith said. We have a few more girls that came on board to the team and were working them in but we still dont have a lot of depth. That doesnt help our effort at the start. After getting a couple of early chances that missed the mark, the Lady Wildcats (3-31, 1-0-0 NWC) opened the scoring at 30:47. Off a throw-in deep in the Lancer defensive half, sophomore Logan Hamilton battled for the orb, got control in the middle and fired low and left from 16 yards past Lancer junior netminder Julia Thatcher (12 saves versus 23 shots on-goal). Thatcher stopped a 17-yard chance by freshman Arianna Knebel at 14:33 but she could not do the same at 9:49, when junior Kylee Haehn made a great run down the left post line, faked past a defender and beat the keeper 1-on-1 from 14 yards for a 2-0 edge. The Lancers had two chances in the last 11 minutes of the half: at 10:52, when junior Hannah McCleery went over the top from the right wing; and with 14 ticks left, when sophomore Brooke Schroeder just missed over the top from nearly the same spot. Even though at times the Lancers started to put things together, their overall lack of depth and the Jefferson speed edge started to take more and more effect on this hot and humid early evening. The Red and White had several chances as especially Hamilton was giving the Lancer defenders fits and they were getting 1-on-1 chances on the keeper but they were either over the top or Thatcher got key stops. Lincolnview had an opening at 33:47 but senior Cassie Hale was well wide from the right wing. Haehn had a tremendous chance at 21:18 when she took a great cross pass in front of the net but her 7-yard laser hit off the bar and eventually went out of bounds. Thatcher stopped two nice chances by junior Elisabeth Miller at 19:50 and 19:06 but she couldnt stop the next one at 18:38 when junior Bailey Miller, near the left sideline, passed to just outside the wing to Knebel and her 7-yarder went the opposite side for a 3-0 lead. The Lady Lancers (0-3-2, 0-1-1 NWC) made it 3-1 at 15:49 when Schroeder got control of the ball in front of the net and tallied past junior Wildcat goalkeeper Kayleigh OConner (7 saves versus 8 shots on-goal) from 12 yards. The Lancers nearly made it 3-2 when Schroeder got another good look from 16-yarders but OConner deflected the orb away. The home team took advantage of a clearly tiring Lancer crew and continued to attack, breaking through twice more. At 12:15, Haehn fed a through ball to the speedy Hamilton and she did the rest, getting a wide-open 16-yarder past the keeper for a 4-1 edge. Thatcher deflected an 78-yarder laser by Haehn at 5:05 but at 4:27, off a Haehn corner kick (one of 6 for the match versus 2 for the visitors) from the left side, the ball got deflected to freshman Makaya Dunning at the top of the box and she went inside the left post for a 5-1 edge. Our speed and depth paid off tonight. Were getting good contributions from more players, especially our freshmen, Stober added. Were putting them in important situ-
ations and they are responding well. Overall, were creating more chances offensively, which is a good thing; we had a lot of great 1-on-1 shots tonight; we just need to become more consistent at finishing them off overall. Smith saw some good things during the match. There were times we started putting things together offensively. We just didnt do it consistently enough, Smith added. Weve got some younger girls in there that we have to mesh together, so that will take some time. Jefferson hosts Kalida 5 p.m. Thursday; Lincolnview hosts Coldwater 1 p.m. Saturday. Lady Jays sweep Miller City By JIM METCALFE Staff Writer jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com MILLER CITY St. Johns got the broom out Monday evening at Miller Citys J. Harry Leopold Gymnasium, sweeping the Lady Wildcats 25-8, 25-14, 25-16. We got a lot of girls into the match tonight; we played all 15 we had. I like to get younger girls playing time as mich as possible, not only for now but for the future, St. Johns coach Carolyn Dammeyer noted. They all contributed in one way or the other and it builds confidence. We had a 1-2 Saturday at Kalida but all three matches went three sets. We played pretty well; we continue to get better each time out and as a coach, that is all you can ask. What Im also trying to do is build more all-around players: Ive never been a big fan of having a bunch of girls that can only play front row or back row but not both. It builds your versatility and you can match up better. One of those all-around players she spoke about was freshman Jessica Geise (7 kills, 3 aces) and another is senior Brittney Claypool (5 kills, 2 aces) but they were not alone: Bekah Fischer (6 kills, 3 aces), Alicia Buettner (4 kills), Maddie Pohlman (3 kills), Maddie Buettner (3 kills), Colleen Schulte (6 aces, 16 assists) and Maya Gerker (3 aces, 14 assists) For the extremely young and thin Wildcats (0-7) 10 healthy players, including five freshmen its all about steady improvement for head coach Cheryl Kreinbrink. Senior Janke vanWezel led the way with five kills and three digs, along with freshman Skylar Niese (3 kills, 3 aces), sophomore Kristin Schmenk (3 kills), junior Kylee Ricker (3 assists). They totaled 13 kills, six aces, four blocks, four digs and eight assists as a team. There was no junior varsity match. The Wildcats (0-8) host Columbus Grove in PCL action 6:30 p.m. Wednesday (no JV match), while the Blue Jays (3-7) host Coldwater 5:30 p.m. Thursday (JV start). Archers spike Jefferson in volleyball ANTWERP A balanced Antwerp volleyball attack took the measure of invading Jefferson 25-11, 25-18, 25-12 in non-league action Monday night. Topping the Red and White were Kamie Pulford (7/7 serving, 1 ace), Katie Goergens (4 kills), Rileigh Stockwell (4 kills) and Brooke Culp (3 digs, 8 assists). It was an atrocious night for us; we had no effort, no nothing. Once we got down, we could never dig ourselves out, Jefferson coach Joy DeVelvis noted. Leading the way for the blue and white (2-4) were Avery Braaten (10 digs), Peyton Short (6 digs, 5 assists), Maddie Reinhart (4 digs, 2 aces), Emily Derck (11 assists), Blaire Rebber (6 blocks, 5 kills), Emily Hamman (6 kills, 3 aces) and Gabby Zuber (8 kills).

USDA cracks down on Internet pet sales

WASHINGTON (AP) The Agriculture Department is cracking down on dog breeders who sell puppies over the Internet, issuing new regulations that will force them to apply for federal licenses. The rules announced Tuesday would subject dog owners who breed more than four females and sell the puppies online, by mail or over the phone to the same oversight faced by wholesale animal breeders. Many breeders who run their businesses online have skirted federal oversight by classifying themselves as retail pet stores, which are exempt from licensing requirements. Commercial pet stores arent required to have licenses because buyers can see the animals before they buy them and decide whether they appear healthy and cared for. But thats not the case when buying over the Internet. The idea behind the new rules, says USDAs Kevin Shea, is that either government inspectors or buyers see the animals with their own eyes before they are sold. Shea, administrator of the USDAs Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, says the agency is responding to a 2010 USDA inspector generals report that uncovered grisly conditions at so-called puppy mills around the country. The report recommended that the department tighten the animal welfare laws written more than four decades ago, long before the advent of the Internet to cut down on unscrupulous breeders. In addition to finding dirty, bug-infested conditions at many breeding facilities, inspectors cited numerous reports of buyers who received animals who were sick or dying.

Google loses appeal in Street View snooping case

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) A federal appeals court said Google wrongly collected peoples personal correspondence and online activities through their Wi-Fi systems as it drove down their streets with car cameras shooting photos for its Street View mapping project. The ruling that the practice violates wiretap laws sends a warning to other companies seeking to suck up vast amounts of data from unencrypted Wi-Fi signals. The payload data transmitted over unencrypted Wi-Fi networks that was captured by Google included emails, usernames, passwords, images, and documents, wrote the U.S. Court of Appeals in San Francisco in a report released Tuesday Google had argued that their activities were exempt from the wiretap law because data transmitted over a Wi-Fi network is a radio communication and is readily accessible to the public. Not so, wrote the judges, agreeing with an earlier federal judges ruling. Even if it is commonplace for members of the general public to connect to a neighbors unencrypted Wi-Fi network, members of the general public do not typically mistakenly intercept, store, and decode data transmitted by other devices on the network, they said. Googles Street View cars can be spotted with pole mounted cameras on their roofs, photographing along roadways the world over. The photos then show up on Googles popular Street View map option, where viewers can virtually scroll along a street past homes, cars and shops, all captured in photographs. But unbeknownst to passers-by, those cameras werent just making photos. They were also collecting detailed information transmitted over Wi-Fi networks they passed through. Privacy experts and industry watchers said this was the first time an appeals court has ruled that its illegal for a company to sniff out and collect private information from the Wi-Fi networks that provide Internet service to people at home. Google is also the first publically known company to try. This appeals court decision is a tremendous victory for privacy rights. It means Google cant suck up private communications from peoples Wi-Fi networks and claim their Wi-Spying was exempt from federal wiretap laws, said John M. Simpson, Consumer Watchdogs privacy project director. Because Googles Wi-Spy activity was so extensive, the potential damages could amount to billions of dollars. Marc Rotenberg, executive director of Electronic Privacy Information Center, called it a landmark decision for Internet privacy. The court made clear that the federal privacy law applies to residential Wi-Fi networks, he said. Users should be protected when a company tries to capture data that travels between their laptop and their printer in their home. A Google spokesperson said Tuesday that attorneys for the Internet giant are disappointed in the 9th Circuits decision and are considering our next steps. Attorney Elizabeth Cabraser, representing a class action of plaintiffs who say their privacy was invaded by Google said Tuesday they look forward to resuming their case now that a federal appeals court has ruled in their favor. Google has apologized for the snooping, which it says took place between 2008 and March 2010. It promised to stop collecting the data and said the practice, conducted in more than 30 countries, was inadvertent but not illegal. Earlier this year Google settled a 37-state lawsuit for $7 million after attorney generals sued over what they said was an invasion of privacy for the data collection. The practice was discovered by a German data protection commissioner in 2010. A few months later, Google cofounder Sergey Brin told conference goers the firm had made a mistake. In short, let me just say that we screwed up, he said at the time.
Apples new iPhones simultaneously aim high, low

MICHAEL LIEDTKE AP Technology Writers CUPERTINO, Calif. For the first time since introducing the device that has reshaped technology and culture, Apple will offer two distinct versions of its latest iPhones a cheaper model made of colorful plastic and another one that aims to be the gold standard of smartphones with a faster processor, fancier camera and fingerprint scanner for better security. Apple hatched the next iPhone generation, set to go on sale Sept. 20, during a Tuesday spectacle that was capped by a three-song performance by Elvis Costello at the companys Cupertino, Calif., headquarters. The company also announced it will release a previously announced overhaul of its operating system for iPhones and iPads on Sept. 18. The iOS 7 adds an iTunes radio station, new photo management tools and more ways to access apps. It will be available for free and compatible with Apple devices dating back to the iPhone 4 released in 2010 and the iPad 2 that debuted in 2011. The operating system will already be installed on Apples new line-up of phones. In a mild surprise, Apple said it will also begin giving away its iPhoto, iMovie, Numbers, Pages and Keynote apps as part of iOS 7. The company has been charging 99 cents to $4.99 for each of those apps. Analysts interpreted the free distribution of the Numbers, Pages and Keynote apps part of Apples iWork suite of software as a challenge to Microsoft Corp.s (NASDAQ:MSFT) package of widely used Office programs for word processing, spreadsheets and presentations. The annual unveiling of Apples new iPhones came as the worlds most valuable company tries to regain some of the market share that it has lost during the past two years to Samsung Electronics and other smartphone makers who rely on Google Inc.s (NASDAQ:GOOG) free Android operating system. Many of those devices cost less than the iPhone and boast features, such as larger screens, missing from Apples best-selling product. That has made Android phones an attractive alternative to budget-conscious consumers who still want to impress their friends. Those ingredients have helped catapult Samsung to the top of the smartphone heap with a 32 percent share of the market in the most recent quarter, compared to 14 percent for Apple, according to the research firm Gartner Inc. (NYSE:IT) By some estimates, more than three-fourths of all smartphones now being sold run on Android. The intensifying competition has slowed Apples financial growth and undermined the companys stock, which has fallen by nearly 30 percent, or more than $200 per share, since peaking at $705.07 when the last iPhone came out.

D.T. Owensboro, Ky. DEAR D.T.: I dont see any obligation other than what the agreement calls for. As long as the agreement says the parents pay the entire mortgage payment along with tax and insurance, case closed. DEAR BRUCE: I have never read how income from a reverse mortgage is taxed. Is it ordinary income or is it tax-free? -- J.M., Henderson, Nev. DEAR J.M.: The reason you never read about any income tax on reverse mortgage proceeds is because there is no tax. You are borrowing your own money. Any interest that it earns will be subject to tax. DEAR BRUCE: I no longer own a car. Occasionally, Ill rent a car or borrow a friends car. Do I need to carry any type of auto insurance? My agent is advising me to purchase a policy to cover other drivers medical expenses and uninsured drivers. -- V.L., via email DEAR V.L.: First of all, how much insurance does the friend carry on his/her car? Very likely its not adequate. You should have a separate policy for several millions of dollars to cover your interests. That policy should also cover the rental car for the additional several millions of dollars. I dont know what your agent is advising that the policy should cover, but the critical item, as I view it,
is liability insurance. The uninsured drivers coverage would certainly be a factor with regard to the borrowed car more so than the rented car. You should also have something in this excess policy that covers the rented car in the event of any accident that is your responsibility. DEAR BRUCE: I have read several times in your column that people need to be careful when getting into investment properties. Is it a more viable option to use a property management company to handle the business end of things and therefore buy some of the expertise needed? -S.G., via email DEAR S.G.: You are very perceptive. When you have no idea how to handle an investment property, using a property management company to handle the business end of things makes excellent sense. At the same time, you should be learning the business, learning how to handle various circumstances. As you become more experienced, you will depend less on the property management company. Congratulations on your perception; you are correct. (Send questions to bruce@brucewilliams.com. Questions of general interest will be answered in future columns.

Remove dye transfer on clothes

Dear Sara: My mother-in-law recently gave me a pair of maternity shorts that were white. Well, I needed something red washed and without thinking, I threw these shorts in the same load. So, now theyre pink. Do you know of some secret to get the pink out? I know I can find dye in the grocery store, so I was thinking maybe I could dye them a darker color. I just hate to throw them away, and I dont want to cut them up for rags, either. Ive never dyed anything before and I know that I cant do it in my washer (we rent, and there are signs all over the laundry room telling us not to dye clothing in the washers). -Sarah, Massachusetts Dear Sarah: You can soak them overnight in OxiClean or Tide Stain Release, then launder as usual. If this doesnt work, Rit makes color remover dye. You can use Rit dye in a bucket to dye them a darker color, too. Dear Sara: We have an extra piano that has not been played in nearly 4 years. I would like to give it to someone, the only problem is that I am afraid whoever moves it will drop it on the Italian marble they would have to move it over. But I want it out of here. Any suggestions? -- F.D., email Dear F.D.: I would place an ad and state that you request the piano be professionally moved because of your expensive flooring and to avoid any other types of damage to your home (i.e. doorways, lawn, etc.). Assuming its in good condition, Im sure youll find a good home for it, even with the added cost of moving it professionally. This helps the buyer protect against damages to the piano and their home, too. You can contact churches, schools, community centers or even used piano sellers to see if they might want it, if you

dont have luck with your ad. Dear Sara: I am thinking of going to our local farmers market for the first time. How often do you go? Is it worth it? Can you get items at a decent price? -- M.M., Minnesota Dear M.M.: I enjoy going to the farmers market. I dont go as often as I used to, but I make a point of going at least once a year. Every market is different, so prices might not beat your grocery store prices, and if they do, it might not be by much. Either way, I like supporting local growers, buying fresher, higher-quality items and finding items that arent always available at my local grocery store. To increase your chances of getting a decent deal at the farmers market, you can buy a higher quantity or become a regular customer, buy right before vendors pack up for the day or on a slow, rainy day, or simply ask for a deal. Most of all, know your grocery store prices so you can compare costs.

Obama delays Syria vote, says diplomacy may work

JULIE PACE Associated Press WASHINGTON President Barack Obama said in a nationally televised address Tuesday night that recent diplomatic steps offer the potential to remove the threat of chemical weapons inside Syria without the use of force, but he also insisted the U.S. military will keep the pressure on President Bashar Assad and be ready to respond if other measures fail. Speaking from the East Room of the White House, Obama said he had asked congressional leaders to postpone a vote on legislation he has been seeking to authorize the use of military force against Syria. Acknowledging the weariness the nation feels after a decade of war in Iraq and Afghanistan, Obama said, America is not the worlds policeman. And yet, he added, When with modest effort and risk we can stop children from being gassed to death and thereby make our own children safer over the long run, I believe we should act. Thats what makes America different. Thats what makes us exceptional. Our ideals and principles, as well as our national security, are at stake in Syria, he declared. The speech capped a frenzied 10-day stretch of events that began when he unexpectedly announced he was stepping back from a threatened military strike and first asking Congress to pass legislation authorizing the use of force against Assad. With public opinion polls consistently showing widespread opposition to American military intervention, the White House has struggled mightily to generate support among lawmakers liberal Democrats and conservative Republicans alike who have expressed fears of involvement in yet another war in the Middle East and have questioned whether U.S. national security interests were at stake in Syria. Obama had trouble, as well, building international support for a military attack designed to degrade Assads military. Suddenly, though, events took another unexpected turn this week. First Russia and then Syria reacted positively to a seemingly off-hand remark from Secretary of State John Kerry indicating that the crisis could be defused if Damascus agreed to put its chemical weapons under international control. The president said he was sending Secretary of State John Kerry to meet with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Thursday, and he added, I will continue my own discussion with Russian President Vladimir Putin. At the same time, he said the United States and its allies would work with Russia and China to present a resolution to the United Nations Security Council requiring Assad to give up his chemical weapons and to ultimately destroy them under international control. In a speech that lasted 16 minutes,
Obama recounted the events of the deadly chemical weapons attack on Aug. 21 that the United States blames on Assad. When dictators commit atrocities, they depend upon the world to look the other way until these horrifying pictures fade from memory. But these things happened. The facts cannot be denied, he said. The president said firmly that Assads alleged attack was not only a violation of international law, its also a danger to our security. If diplomacy now fails and the United States fails to act, he said, the Assad regime will see no reason to stop using chemical weapons and other tyrants will have no reason to think twice about acquiring poison gas and using it. Over time, he added, U.S. troops could face the threat of chemical warfare, and if fighting escapes Syrias border, these weapons could threaten allies like Turkey, Jordan and Israel. The president sought to deal methodically with what he said were questions asked by lawmakers and citizens who took the time to write him with their concerns about U.S. military action. I will not put American boots on the ground in Syria, he promised. I will not pursue an open-ended action like Iraq or Afghanistan. I will not pursue a prolonged air campaign like Libya or Kosovo. This would be a targeted strike to achieve a clear objective: deterring the use of chemical weapons and degrading Assads capabilities.

Answers to Mondays questions: The story of Cinderella has most often been made into a movie. The first movie was made in 1898. The longest-running national television series is NBCs Meet the Press. It has been running since Nov. 20, 1947. Todays questions: Who invented the rosary? When was the Ark of the Covenant last seen? Answers in Thursdays Herald. Todays joke: At a party of professionals, a doctor was having difficulty socializing. Everyone wanted to describe their symptoms, and get an opinion about diagnosis. The doctor turned to a lawyer acquaintance, and asked, How do you handle people who want advice outside of the office? Simple, answered the lawyer, I send them a bill. That stops it. The next day, the doctor, still feeling a bit reserved about what he had just finished doing, opened his mailbox to send the bills; there sat a bill from the lawyer.
