DELPHOS In 1962 when Dan Meyers was 10 years old, he began passing the Herald as a sub for his brother Tom, whos route was in Marbletown. Meyers got to know all the paper carriers pretty well while folding papers and getting ready for their late afternoon of paper delivery. He said his friend, Jerry Kemper, introduced the carriers to a new way of snacking on peanuts and drinking pop all the while having a free hand to fold papers into squares. He would take a couple of swigs [of pop] and put the bag of peanuts into the bottle and it would fizz. Meyers mused. While he folded papers with one hand, hed drink the pop mixed with peanuts with the other. Meyers described the Marbletown route, which included 113 customers on Bredieck, West Clime, Clay and Skinner streets. He remembers the community being very close-knit and said that they took care of each other. See MEYERS, page 12

For The Record Local businessman The Delphos OBITUARY Lou Reed, iconic punk poet, dead at 71 charged with theft, bigamy Herald
NEW YORK (AP) Lou Reed, the punk poet of rock n roll who profoundly influenced generations of musicians as leader of the Velvet Underground and remained a vital solo performer for decades after, died Sunday at 71. Reed died in Southampton, N.Y., of an ailment related to his recent liver transplant, according to his literary agent, Andrew Wylie, who added that Reed had been in frail health for months. Reed shared a home in Southampton with his wife and fellow musician, Laurie Anderson, whom he married in 2008. Reed never approached the commercial success of such superstars as the Beatles and Bob Dylan, but no songwriter to emerge after Dylan so radically expanded the territory of rock lyrics. And no band did more than the Velvet Underground to open rock music to the avant-garde to experimental theater, art, literature and film, to William Burroughs and Kurt Weill, to John Cage and Andy Warhol, Reeds early patron. Indie rock essentially began in the 1960s with Reed and the Velvets. Likewise, the punk, New Wave and alternative rock movements of the 1970s, 80s and 90s were all indebted to Reed, whose songs were covered by R.E.M., Nirvana, Patti Smith and countless others. The first Velvet Underground record sold 30,000 copies in the first five years, Brian Eno, who produced albums by Roxy Music and Talking Heads among others, once said. I think everyone who bought one of those 30,000 copies started a band!

He expects the film, written by Cormac McCarthy, to find its audience as it rolls out internationally in the coming weeks. Another drama, Fox Searchlights 12 Years a Slave, edged into the top 10 despite playing in only 123 theaters. This portends a tremendous expansion trajectory for the film directed by Steve McQueen and starring Chiwetel Eijofor, Dergarabedian said. In a sea of films that are in over 1,000 theaters, 12 Years a Slave is distinguishing itself by doing so well. The overall box office is up 9 percent over the same weekend last year, Dergarabedian said. Fall is probably the best season to be a moviegoer, he said.

The Mohawks then ran out the clock. Grove forced a 3-and-out of the Mohawks first possession of the second half but turned the ball over on a fumble at the 38, with Brady Welker recovering for the Mohawks. The Mohawks went backwards, turning the ball over on downs at midfield. However, another fumble this one pounced on by Chase Martin gave Delphos possession right there. They then went to a no-huddle spread and marched to the end zone in nine plays. Ankerman (4-of-15 passing, 52 yards) was 2-of-5 in the next five plays a 27-yard connection with Welker and a 19-yarder to Jaylen Jefferson to put the pigskin at the Grove 4 for a 1st-and-goal. Four straight running plays two by Collin Arroyo around two by Welker put the ball in the end zone, with Arroyo busting inside left guard on 4th-and-goal at the 1. The conversion pass failed as the score stood 6-6 with 1:34 left in the third stanza. See MIDGET, page 7

Lincolnviews Alex Rodriguez shows the draining effects at Saturdays Tiffin Regional Cross Country meet but his 14th-place finish helped the Lancer boys clinch a berth in the Division III State meet at Hebron. (Delphos Herald/ Charlie Warnimont) well. I wouldnt have thought we would have five guys in the 16s and 17s but we did and that is great. Crestview finished eighth as a team in the 16-team field but managed to see the Grandstaff advance as he finished seventh in 16:32.88. Making state caps off an up-and-down season for the Knight junior, who battled an injury early in the season. I think Im running my best right now, Grandstaff said. I have one more week left and I want to go down to Hebron and try to run another PR. Its just fun going down there. Grandstaff said the key Saturday was trying to stay with the lead pack and not use a lot of energy running where runners were forced to run into a strong wind. My strategy was trying to stay up with the lead pack, Grandstaff said. There were a lot of people that were sub-17 (minutes) and I tried to stay with the top people and hope we would pull away. Going into the wind I just wanted to draft off the people in front of me and that helped me out a lot. St. Johns sophomore Curtis Pohlman finished 85th on Saturday in 18:09.21. Van Werts cross country teams made a bit of school history Saturday as they both qualified to state in the same year for the first time. The Cougar boys were the runners-up in the Division II race to Defiance with 104 points, while the Lady Cougars were fourth in the Division II race with 161 points, six points in front of Bellevue and Napoleon. Weve had a lot of good teams in the past and just werent able to put it together before, Van Wert coach Brendon Moody said. We are just overwhelmed right now. The girls are a pleasant surprise as we knew we had an outside shot coming in. The guys just keep doing what they do best and thats get to the front of the race and finish it out. The Lady Cougars were led by senior Andi Foster with a 16th-place finish in 19:47.6, while senior Amanda Clay was 18th in 19:55.84. Junior Schealissa William was 24th in 20:07.55, while sophomore Chloe Gamble was 45th in 20:40.71 and sophomore Megan Barnhart was 69th in 21:20.2. See QUALIFIERS, page 7
Kalidas Joni Kaufman tries to take the ball away from Continentals McKenna Scott during the teams Division III District final contest at Bath High School. (Delphos Herald/Charlie Warnimont) Ottawa Hills. Kalida saw another excellent season end at 14-2-3. After playing to 1-1 tie in the regular season just over two weeks ago, no expected anything but a defensive struggle between
defending Paige, the best job anyone has done all year, Bidlack said. It made things extremely difficult but we were fortunate to get that foul called at the top of the box and Paige had a moment there. She hit it and made it count. Two of Ordways shots in the game were on direct kicks from farther out, one sailing over the crossbar and Verhoff nabbing the other. With time winding down on the Continental season, a Kalida defender was called for a foul just outside the penalty area trying to take the ball away from a Pirate forward. This time, Ordway made the most of the opportunity as she put her shot in the upper right hand corner of the net to tie the match at 1-1 with 5:14 left. As time continued to tick off the clock, it looked destined for overtime. However, McKenna Scott took care of that. See WILDCATS, page 7

A pair of turnovers set up the Bulldogs for their gamewinning drive. In the consolation game, the Delphos Reds (5-3) built a 12-point halftime lead and then held off Spencerville Bearcat Black (5-3) 12-8. The Reds dominated the game, amassing 216 yards of offense 174 rushing on 38 carries to only 70 for the Black (all on the ground). The Reds started the first possession at the 44 and reached the Spencerville 28 but on 4th-and-5, Hunter Haehn (10 rushes, 28 yards) was thrown for a 6-yard loss. A fumble recovery by Brent Teman gave the Reds the ball back at the Bearcats 43. It took seven plays all but one on the ground to
get on the board. At the 7, on 4th-and-2, Darius Shurelds (18 rushes, 118 yards) swept the right side, eluded a tackler in the backfield and found the right sideline for the six. The conversion run failed for a 6-0 edge with 7:50 left in the half. Delphos forced a 3-and-out and commenced its next drive at the 45. They put together a 10-play sequence to the end zone. On 2nd-and-goal at the Spencerville 1, Shurelds burst inside left guard for the score with 39 ticks left in the half. The 2-point pass failed for a 12-0 lead. Devin Lindeman recovered a short kickoff at the Bearcat 46 and the Reds looked to score again. On play four at the 23, Haehn connected with Cody Williams (2 catches, 42 yards) for a touchdown but an illegal participation penalty nullified
it, effectively end the half. The Bearcats had their best drive of the contest to open the second half, driving from the 42 to the end zone. Keyed by a personal foul on the Reds, the score came from the Delphos 11. Keegan Goecke (7 totes, 23 yards) took a handoff inside left guard, cut across the grain and beat the defense to the pylon. Eli Yale ran in the 2-pointer for a 12-8 deficit with 4:56 left in the third. The Reds seemed ready to respond, marching from the 22 to the Bearcat 44 in six plays. However, a fumble recovery and 6-yard return by Yale set the Black up at the Reds 43. They drove to the Delphos 2 (despite a holding penalty) in 11 plays all rushing but on 4thand-1, Joel Lotz (7 rushes, 33 yards) was thrown for a 19-yard loss to end the threat with 3:12
remaining. The Reds then gained four first downs and ran out the clock for the consolation victory.

Tips
Check tire pressure once a month, letting the tires cool down before checking the pressure. Rotate as recommended. Dont forget to check your spare, and be sure the jack is in good working condition. Underinflated tires or poorly aligned wheels makes your engine work harder and thus use excess gasoline. Have your brakes checked periodically for safety and to prevent costly repairs that can be caused by neglect. The transmission is often neglected until a major failure. Routine checks and fluid changes at prescribed intervals can prevent very costly repairs down the line.
Always carry an emergency kit with you: extra gloves, boots and blankets; flares; a small shovel and sand or kitty litter; tire chains; a flashlight and extra batteries; and a cell phone and extra car charger. Put a few high-energy snacks in your glove box. The National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) was founded in 1972 as a nonprofit, independent organization dedicated to improving the quality of automotive service and repair through the voluntary testing and certification of automotive technicians. ASE-certified technicians wear blue and white ASE shoulder insignia and carry credentials listing their exact area(s) of certification. Their employers often display the blue and white ASE sign.

Not happy with work? Wait How Sandy went from boring to until youre 50 or older killer superstorm
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) Not happy with your job? Just wait. A study by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research finds that 9 in 10 workers who are age 50 or older say they are very or somewhat satisfied with their job. Older workers reported satisfaction regardless of gender, race, educational level, political ideology and income level. Consider Oscar Martinez. If Disneyland truly is the happiest place on earth, Martinez may be one of its happiest workers. Never mind that at 77, the chef already has done a lifetime of work. Or that he must rise around 3 a.m. each day to catch a city bus in time for breakfast crowds at Carnation Cafe, one of the parks restaurants. With 57 years under his apron, he is Disneylands longest-serving employee. To me, when I work, Im happy, said Martinez, whos not sure he ever wants to retire. Though research has shown people across age groups are more likely to report job satisfaction than dissatisfaction, older workers consistently have expressed more happiness with their work than younger people have. The AP-NORC survey found significant minorities of people reporting unwelcome comments at work about their age, being passed over for raises and promotions, and other negative incidents related to being older. But it was far more common to note the positive impact of their age. Six in 10 said colleagues turned to them for advice more often and more than 4 in 10 said they felt they were receiving more respect at work. Older workers generally have already climbed the career ladder, increased their salaries and reached positions where they have greater security, so more satisfaction makes sense, says Tom Smith, director of the General Social Survey, one of the most comprehensive polls of American attitudes. It increases with age, said Smith, whose biannual survey is conducted by NORC at the University of Chicago. The older you are, the more of all these job-related benefits youre going to have. Looking at the 40-year history of the GSS, the share of people saying they are very or moderately satisfied with their jobs rises steadily with each ascending age group, from just above 80 percent for those under 30 to about 92 percent for those 65 and older.

Now for a little history of some members of the Dienstberger families: Dolores (Wegesin) Dienstberger was well known and well loved by many Delphos residents, as well as by her family. The family lived at 535 E. Fifth St. and they were members of St. Peters Lutheran Church. Dolores was chosen Tri-County Woman of the Year in 1990 and in 1999, she was honored as Grand Marshal of the Delphos Canal Days Parade. After retiring from the R. G. Dunn Cigar Factory, Dolores started volunteering her time in the late 1960s when Meals-on-Wheels began and needed drivers to deliver meals to shut-ins. She along with her husband, Paul, often handled the meal routes of both the Delphos Memorial Home and the Sarah Jane Geriatric Center. Her work at the Inter-Faith Thrift Shop began in 1970 when she served as one of the hostesses at the shop. Through the years, the Thrift Shop enlarged several times. Doloress husband, Paul passed away in 1982 and her six children had left the nest so this energetic woman accepted the position as director of the Inter-Faith Thrift Shop in 1983. Caring for the needs of others was not confined to the Delphos Community. She delivered clothing and other articles to the area migrant camps and to other communities, where there was a need. She often used her own truck. Harold Ladd and John Pointing would bring their semi-trucks to assist with the loads of clothing to different areas. By 1999 they delivered 140 loads to other places. As a director of the Thrift Shop, she took on the task of delivering food to the needy. Food was donated by Meyers IGA, Daves Market, Gessner Produce and the Chief Supermarket. Later, this job was taken over by the St. Vincent DePaul Society but the Thrift Shop still manages a food pantry. Dolores went to her great reward in Heaven at the age of 84 in 1999. She always had a smile and greeting for every-
one. She was survived by their six children, 14 grandchildren, five stepgrandchildren, 29 great-grandchildren and 10 stepgreat-grandchildren. The family of Dolores and Paul have scattered around the state and the country. Music has been a passion for many of the Dienstberger Clan. Leslie Les Dienstberger started making music in 1944 and hes still making music; proving that there is plenty of life left after a guy turns 80. While Les was a sophomore in high school, and playing tuba in the Delphos High School Band, he was approached by his friend, Eddie Mox, who asked him to play tuba for the Pop Giesken Booster Band, since their tuba player was sick. Thats when it all started. His first night with the band was at The Well in Glandorf on Halloween. Almost everyone within 100 miles has heard of Pop Gieskens Band. The name has changed over the years, and some members have come and gone, but Les is still with the band, which is now known as the Village Idiots. They have played in numerous night spots and participated in many parades. Les had to take time out to serve in the U. S. Army during the Korean War. Les also played in the Delphos Eagles Band. Les remembered that his grandparents played in the Dienstberger Band. Carl Dienstberger Sr. was very well known as a member of Paul Whitemans Band, once known as the King of Jazz. He was a popular violinist, soloist and director for the band from 1921-33. Carl started studying the violin when he was age 5 and he took the trolley car from Delphos to Lima, where he studied under Gail Watson, who was a student of Leopold Auer in Moscow, Russia. He became a violin virtuoso and played with the Cleveland Symphony at age 17. Carl helped organize the Delphos High School Band when he was 16. Carl had at least five well known bands of his own. During the old TriCounty Fair (aka Delphos Street Fair) Carls band played in the dance hall tent. Carls bands played in New York and Detroit. He broadcast daily on Detroit radio stations WJR, WWJ, WXYZ, WLW, KFOR, WIMJ and NBC In later years Carl returned to Delphos, where he became owner, operator of C. D. Motor Sales. He also served as a service director for the City of Delphos. Carl Sr. died in 1984 at the age of 84. His funeral was held at St. Peters Lutheran Church. Carl Jr. (son of Carl Sr. and Mollie) lives in Delphos. Carl Jr. spent 30 years as an aerospace engineer in researching at the Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton before returning to Delphos in the 80s to assist his father as the Oldsmobile dealer. His sister, Sally lives in Florida, near her two children and grandchildren. Sallys husband, Dr. John Hurt passed away during this past year. Jacob Dienstberger, the father of Les, was the founder of Delphos Tent & Awning, which has been located on North Main Street for several years. The business began on West Third Street, across from the funeral home. Herman Dienstberger joined his brother in the business and they changed the name to Dienstberger Brothers Tent and Awning. In the beginning, they put awnings on houses or businesses, took them down and stored them for the winter, then put them back up in the spring. At one time, they occupied the VFW Building because it was large enough for them to lay out tents on the cement floor. Jacob retired from the business, when he was in his 60s. Hermie was the sole owner until he sold it to Don Allemeier. It is a very thriving business, with tents all over this area and outside the area. For some added interest: The following was found by my friend, Evy on Ancestry: Nicholas Dienstberger, born 22 November 1922, died 9 December 1905 and buried in the West Plain Cemetery in Connecticut. His wife was Augusta, who died 18 October 1873. I would especially like to thank Paul, Les, Doris and Carl Dienstberger Jr. and Carol Youngpeter for giving me all the information on the families. Thank you!
Meyers
While delivering papers, our first break was stopping at Abbeys Carry-out and buying a frozen Zero candy bar, Meyers smiled. When it came to collecting subscription money, Meyers said that he and his brother remember collecting money from their paper customers frequenting Harolds Bar. They would tip us to keep us quiet about where we found them, he chuckled. After three years of subbing, Meyers acquired the route when Tom took a job at Mickeys Dry Cleaners. Trying to ride my bike in the winter was a challenge, Meyers said. It was always cold, very cold. Meyers said one night while passing papers during football season, he was very wet and extremely cold. A customer invited him in, gave him a big blanket and a bowl of chilli soup to warm up with while his clothes dried in the customers dryer. My mom and dad called the customer and thanked him for taking care of me, Meyers added. At that time, television shows included Bonanza, Ed Sullivan and The Andy Griffith Show. He said that Gressels, the old Delphos Brewery and the cigar factory who were still manufacturing cigars were behind St. Johns School. I remember Kennedy being shot, Meyers said. My Mom had a scrapbook filled with all the newspaper clippings about the assassination which she cut out of the Herald. Meyers reminisced about his first experienced with an underground sprinkler system located on a property on Clay Street across from Garfield Park. We had to go up and place the paper on the porch and got caught in them a couple of times, he said. He also painted a vivid picture of a peculiar scenario he experienced every Saturday when he collected at one of his customers homes. He said the customer would tell him to come in and be sitting at his kitchen table eating cereal, greet him and say the money is in the cupboard. Id grab a kitchen chair, pull it to the kitchen counter, stand on the seat, reach up and get the money jar and take the money for the paper out, Meyers said. He would put the chair back and proceed out the door, leaving the customer to his breakfast.

WASHINGTON (AP) It was the moment a run-ofthe-mill hurricane mutated into a monster named Sandy. Paradoxically, it was the same time Sandy lost much of its wind power, dropping from a hurricane to a tropical storm. It was a Friday night and Sandy had just passed the Bahamas and was being enveloped by an ordinary cold front coming off the Southeast. It was changing how it got its power, where its highest winds were and even what it looked like. But mostly it was getting bigger. Dangerously large. And then it merged with a second storm, turned record huge and pivoted toward the nations largest city. It was that enormity that set off alarms in the people who knew weather, especially those living in the New York area. For a week forecasts placed Sandy on its path toward New York and it was it sticking to it. Months earlier, Princeton University professor Michael Oppenheimer had written a scientific study about the dangers of storms hitting the nations largest city, and now he was watching one develop. He was enthralled but fearful, hoping that the forecasts would change. It was just this monster coming at us, he said. In the year since Sandy blew through the East Coast, meteorologists have pored over forecasts, satellite photos, computer models, and even the physical damage to try to get a sense of what made Sandy the demon it was. Put simply, what made the superstorm dangerous and freaky in more than a dozen different ways was a meteorological trade in: The hurricane lost some oomph in winds in return for enormous size. And just like Katrina seven years earlier, Sandy caused so much havoc because of its record girth, National Hurricane Center Director Rick Knabb said, adding: Smaller versions of those same storms would not have had the same scope of disasters. Sandys breadth pushed much more water into New Jersey and New York, dropped 3 feet of snow in West Virginia, caused 20-foot waves on the distant Great Lakes and registered other records reflecting whopping energy. It meant at least 182 deaths and $65 billion in damage in the United States, the second-costliest weather disaster in American history behind only Katrina, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Before when I though about building a house, I just imagined putting up walls and doors and windows and there it is, a house, she said. Now I know exactly whats in the wall and where it is and how it got there and why its there. The couple praised Construction Manager Roger Calvert for his patience. I can remember when Roger told me numerous times to hold my hammer a different way and it would work better, Martin said. He just kept working with me to get it right. What surprised the couple the most was the willingness of others to help them. We knew our friends and family would be com-
Answers to Saturdays questions: The first U.S. presidential mansion was located at 1 Cherry Street in New York City. It was not called the White House. George Washington lived there from April 23, 1789, to Feb. 23, 1790. The Teapot Dome, government-owned land rich in oil, was located in Wyoming. The scandal began when a Senate investigating committee discovered the Teapot Dome and Elk Hills, Calif., reserves had been secretly leased by Secretary of the Interior Albert B. Fall to private oil companies in 1922. Fall was eventually convicted of bribery and the entire Harding administration was tarnished.

ing to help on work days but the other volunteers were amazing, Martin said. Whenever anything needed done, Roger would send out a few emails and everyone would show up. Sometimes the volunteers were here before our friends. Its wonderful to see these people come and help us and they dont even know us. They all volunteered their time to better my family. That means more than anything to us. The couple will begin moving their things in this week and hope to be organized for their first Thanksgiving. Once settled in, the couple hopes to return the favor when they can. When they start the next Habitat House in Delphos, we are there. Now at least we know what we are doing, Tom Sr. said with a laugh. We wont be the rookies.
Hilty and Calvert both said they would welcome the couples help. Tom and Melanie were so eager to learn, Calvert said. They never backed down from a challenge. Hilty said Melanie was an asset on the project. This girl is organized, Hilty said. She knew exactly what was going on, when things should happen and kept us all on track. Habitat homeowners are required to put in sweat equity on the homes they purchase. Tom Sr. and Martin performed theirs at their new home during construction and Martin also worked at Restore in Lima. Tom Sr. is employed at Lakeview Farms and Martin is a stay-at-home mom. She hopes to start college courses once the youngest, Samantha, is in school.
