not only while they are in school but also throughout their lives and they have voted to designate the month of March, as National Arts/Music month. The students of the cast of Peter Pan, a musical presented in March, were at the meeting and spoke of the musical as a very rewarding experience. Mrs. Bargerstock who directed the play was impressed with how the students performed and over 2,300 people attended the show. I wanted to say thank you to the Elida community for supporting this school and allowing the students to participate in the musical, she said. Also, in further business, the board proclaimed the month of March National Nutrition Month within the local schools, and encouraged all citizens to join the campaign and become concerned about their nutrition and the nutrition of others in the hope of achieving optimum health for both today and tomorrow. Jenny Earl, the director of Meals Til Monday, spoke on the benefits of the program. The program provides nutritional kid-friendly weekend meals for children whose primary source of food is the school cafeteria. Staffed by volunteers and funded by donations, they pack sacks of food on Mondays to be delivered and distributed to students on Fridays. It is our goal that students distracted, discouraged and disadvantaged by hunger would gain encouragement, focus and confidence by having this basic need met, Earl said. See DIGITAL, page 8A

For The Record Investigators comb scene of deadly chopper crash OBITUARY The Delphos
PHUONG LE Associated Press SEATTLE A news helicopter crashed into a street and burst into flames Tuesday near Seattles Space Needle, killing both people on board, badly injuring a man in a car and sending plumes of black smoke over the city during the morning commute. The chopper was taking off from a helipad on KOMO-TVs roof when it went down at a downtown intersection and hit three vehicles, starting them on fire and spewing burning fuel down the street. Kristopher Reynolds, a contractor working nearby, said he saw the helicopter lift about 5 feet off the low-rise building before it started to tilt. The chopper looked like it was trying to correct itself when it took a dive. Next thing I know, it went into a ball of flames, Reynolds said. Witnesses also reported hearing unusual noises coming from the helicopter as it took off after refueling, said Dennis Hogenson, deputy regional chief with the National Transportation Safety Board in Seattle. They said the aircraft then rotated before it crashed near the Seattle Center campus, which is home to the Space Needle, restaurants and performing arts centers. Mayor Ed Murray noted the normally bustling Seattle Center was relatively quiet at the time. Had it been a busier day, this would have been a much larger tragedy, he said. In response to the crash, the city will review its policies about permitting helicopter pads, Murray said. Investigators worked to document the scene and will examine all possibilities as they determine what caused the crash, Hogenson said. A preliminary analysis is expected in five days, followed by a fuller report with a probable cause in up to a year. KOMO identified the pilot as Gary Pfitzner, of Issaquah. Also killed in the crash was Bill Strothman, a former longtime KOMO photographer. Both men were working for Cahokia, Ill.-based Helicopters Inc., which owned the Eurocopter AS350. The aircraft was leased jointly by KOMO and KING-TV. Firefighters who arrived at the scene before 8 a.m. found a huge black cloud of smoke and two cars and a pickup truck engulfed in flames, Seattle Fire Department spokesman Kyle Moore said. Fuel running down the street also was on fire, and crews worked to stop it before it entered the sewer, Moore said. An injured man managed to free himself from a burning car and was taken to Harborview Medical Center, Moore said. The man was on fire, and KOMO reported that one of its building security guards, Brian Post, ran toward the fire to help. I used my hand at first and then his jacket to get the flames out, Post, a former police officer, told the station. Richard Newman, 38, suffered burns on his lower back and arm, covering up to 20 percent of his body, hospital spokeswoman Susan Gregg said. He was in serious condition in the intensive care unit and likely will require surgery, she said. Two others who were in vehicles that were struck by the helicopter were uninjured. One of them, a woman, went to a police station and talked to officers, while a man from the pickup walked to a nearby McDonalds restaurant. Police later located him unhurt.

Council members agreed more research was needed to explore aggregation options and to review background information before a choice was made. Smith reported that the Second Street Project was complete and the sewer line project is finished. We paid the first one-half of the costs through the grant and the bank is to pay the balance, which I believe has been taken care of, Smith said. Wrasman was absent from the meeting and Smith discussed maintenance topics pertinent to the village. He reported the sewer pump is running fine and holding its own. Its still too early to buy another one, Smith said. Id like to see how the new one does for six months. Smith spoke to council members about the purchase of new stop signs, all-way signs, reflective traffic signs and a few lighted flashing lights to use with traffic cones. Smith also reported that Wrasman has used all of his spare parts rebuilding the villages aerators and he needs to order new seals, bearing and other parts to complete the rebuilding of six remaining aerators. The parts are $868 and if he purchases a rebuilt aerator, it would cost the village $1,500 each, Smith said. Council members approved the order and purchase of the parts and signs. The next village council meeting will be held at 7:30 p.m. on April 22 at the library.

Diary of Wednesday, March 12, 2014 3:15 a.m. Time to start another day. I pack my husband Joes lunch while he gets ready for work. 3:50 a.m. Joe left for work. It is raining outside. 4:45 a.m. Daughters Liz, 19, and Susan, 18, pack their lunches and get ready for work. It is really snowing and the ground is already covered with quite a few inches of snow. It is windy so our driveway is drifting shut with the blowing snow. 5:15 a.m. Elizabeth and Susan leave for the RV factory. Susan seems to be adjusting well to her job and a new schedule. They work in different areas of the factory so they dont always get home at the same time. I catch up on reading the daily newspaper and The Budget. 6 a.m. Time to get the children up for school. After taking a look outside at the weather we go check our phone for messages. School has called saying there is a 2-hour delay. Most of the children go back to bed except Lovina stays up. I read while she puts together beads. She has a kit that has all kind of beads and she makes different kinds of crafts with it. She is also really enjoying making things out of plastic canvas and is very creative. 8 a.m. The rest of the children get up and after checking the messages on the phone we find
out school has been cancelled. It is a white world outside and still blowing snow. Right now it seems impossible that spring begins next week! We are still adjusting to the time change as well. The boys go do the morning chores. I fry pon hoss and make coffee soup and eggs for breakfast. We have several more pans left of pon hoss and it seems they are still hungry for it every time I make it. 10:30 a.m. Dishes are washed and floors swept. Verena, 16, and Loretta, 13, clean out the closet in Loretta and Lovinas bedroom. Benjamin 14, goes outside to shovel snow. Joseph, 11, Lovina, 9, and Kevin, 8, help me mix up some noodles. We put 36 eggs into noodles then let the dough set for awhile in airtight containers to keep it moist. Our neighbor Lila stops in to get eggs. 1 p.m. Verena makes grilled cheese and eggs for everyones lunch. They are done with the closet upstairs. They also cleaned out the dresser drawers in that bedroom. We are still working on the noodles but take time to eat lunch. 3:30 p.m. Elizabeth and Susan come home from work. We are putting the rest of the noodles through the cutter on the noodle maker. The children enjoy helping make noodles. We have an eightquart and a six-quart table set up to put the noodles on to dry for a week. I put cheesecloth over them so dust cant get on them. The cheesecloth is thin enough
that they can still dry. 4 p.m. Joe is home from work. The boys and Joe go do the evening chores and Joe takes care of the stove. The girls and I make mashed potatoes, beef and noodles and pork and beans for supper. 6 p.m. Time to eat supper. 8 p.m. Everyone is cleaned up and ready to relax. Gods blessings to all! For those of you that have storage apples, try this recipe to help use them up. APPLE PIE PUDDING CAKE 2 cups sugar 2 eggs 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 2 cups flour 3/4 cup butter or oil 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg 2 teaspoons soda 4 cups peeled chopped apples Dissolve soda in 1/4 cup hot water. Mix all ingredients together and bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes in pie pans. Serve with milk or whipped cream.

Choose whatever sport is most appropriate and design a uniform and logo. Write newspaper headlines for makebelieve match ups between teams.
Some people dont get enough vitamins and minerals in their diets because of illness or diet choices, and a supplement (extra supply) of one or more nutrients keeps them healthy. Other people take supplements as insurance just in case they dont eat the foods that contain all the good stuff. But before you try to get all your vitamins and minerals from a pill instead of food, you should know that phytochemicals special ingredients found in many fruits, vegetables, and grains work with other food nutrients to deliver powerful benets. Phytochemicals can do everything from preventing cancer to keeping your bones, heart, and cells healthy.

victory. When it comes time to really charge for the checkered flag, theres no team orders, theres no rules, Roush added. I expect them to race one another as they expect to be raced not only with one another but with everybody in the garage. I expect Ricky is as fierce a competitor as there is out there and if his car has got the speed and he can get to the car in front of him, particularly on a short track, youd bump-and-run and take the prize if you could get it. Id be surprised if he didnt have that in his mind. Edwards said he expected the same from Stenhouse, who has eight career Nationwide wins but hasnt been to Victory Lane in NASCAR since 2012. I was fully prepared for smashing into each other, bouncing off the walls, wrecking each other for the win, Edwards added.

Jeanine Forwerck of Central Insurance, second from right, accepts the Quantum Award from the NetVu Leadership team of Vice Chair Keith Savino, left, Chairman of the Board Stephen Moriyama Chairman-Elect Debbie Miner. (Submitted photo)
Ripped out a hem? ShopSmart, the shopping magazine from the publisher of Consumer Reports, rounded up gadgets hawked on TV as quick-fix solutions to wardrobe malfunctions, then put them to the test in its labs. Only one was a winner. Most were letdowns because they werent as easy to use as they look in the ads, or they didnt work any better than a needle and thread.
VAN WERT The Central Insurance Companies was recently awarded the prestigious Quantum Award at the Network of Vertafore Users (NetVU) Conference in Nashville, Tennessee. The Quantum Award recognizes insurance carriers that have made a definitive commitment to NetVU member agencies to offer superior workflow productivity and profitability on both the regional and national level. Many carriers were nominated, but only three carriers were named finalists. From these finalists Central was selected the regional winner for their commitment to continual automation improvements. The company has invested in and adopted a full range of Real Time technology and participates in NetVU, AUGIE (ACORD User Groups Information Exchange), and ACT (Agents Council for Technology). Central is also one of the founding partners for Project CAP, is a Salutatorian Partner for the IIABAs project InVEST, and has been a Trusted Choice company partner since 2003. From online training to a team of qualified service personnel ready to help in any way, Central provides training and support so agents can utilize Workflow Solutions to their highest potential. The company puts a high value on agency feedback, and has several advisory councils in place to generate and encourage agency
input including the Inner Circle, CSR Advisory Council, Blue Streak Program, and Premier Agency Program, as well as Online Agency Forums. Central sets the bar with which we compare all of our other carriers, says Matt Frierson of Central agency partner Pierson & Fendley Insurance in Paris, Texas. I cant find anyone to compare with Central in terms of ease of doing business and the support they provide. And that doesnt even take into account the ease with which customers can communicate with Central! It is very obvious that technology is incredibly important to Central Mutual, and as an agency doing business with them each day it shows! Central Insurance was founded in 1876, and provides insurance for more than 328,000 automobiles, homes, and businesses in 18 states. Central is based in Van Wert, Ohio and operates regional offices in Boston, Atlanta, Dallas, and Van Wert. The Central group of companies has combined assets of over $1 billion. Centrals A.M. Best rating is A (Excellent). The Network of Vertafore Users (NetVU) is an independent, national member organization committed to providing industry advocacy, world-class education and networking to its 18,000 independent insurance agency members. Aligned by their use of Vertafore technologies, these agencies are united in their shared focus on improving efficiency and enhancing profitability.
conceal the zipper gap. Simply moving the button over a bit with scissors, a needle and thread is a better fix. -- Zip Tips Price: $2 plus $3.98 S&H What it claims: Repairs broken zippers in seconds so you dont have to replace them. How it works: Remove the old broken zipper slider and clip on the correct size Zip Tip. What testers found: It sounds easy enough, but what the ad doesnt tell you is that you may still have to make repairs such as replacing the zipper stop (the bottom clamp) to make this gizmo work. The hard plastic Zip Tip slider easily popped off the repairs ShopSmart made, and even the smallest size is too big for light-duty dress zippers. ShopSmart says: Skip the Zip Tip and buy the FixNZip, $10 plus $2.99 S&H, instead. The sturdy all-metal zipper slide is a bit bulkier than most slides, but it comes in adjustable sizes so that it fits most zippers.
WORTH A TRY -- Style Snaps Price: $10 plus $6.95 S&H What it claims: A fast way to change the hem length on pants without sewing, ironing or gluing. How it works: Style Snaps come in sets of two. Just pull off the backing of one snap to reveal the sticky side and position it on the inside of the hem. Cuff the leg, then remove the backing on the other and attach. What testers found: It works best on straight-leg pants that are too long. Bootleg and other flared styles will have some excess fabric, which means hems wont lie flat.
ShopSmart says: These Band-Aid-like gizmos can come in handy if you rip a hem or you want to temporarily change your long pants to ankle length to wear with flats. Just unsnap and your pants return to the original length. They can also be used for such wardrobe mishaps as closing a gap between buttons on a blouse or keeping a wrap skirt from flying open. NOT WORTH IT -- Buttoneer Price: $14 plus $6.95 S&H What it claims: Attaches buttons in seconds without sewing. How it works: The Buttoneer drives a clear U-shaped plastic fastener into buttonholes, and small prongs hold the button in place. What testers found: Its not easy to use; even the directions say to give it a test run before using it on a good garment.
DEAR BRUCE: Im 68 years old, and I was let go by the company I worked for several months ago. I still have a 401(k) with $164,000 in it. I dont need the money and dont plan to use it in the near future. We dont have a mortgage or car payments. I would like your opinion on how to reinvest the 401(k). My financial guy recommends an annuity. I know from reading your columns youre not big on them. Your thoughts or recommendations, please. -- Rich, via email DEAR RICH: Thank you for your question. Its an interesting one. I dont think its particularly complex. First, you say your financial guy recommends an annuity. There are some decent annuity products out there. But I would not be comfortable tying up my money in most annuities, which have a period, measured in years, during which the penalties are severe if you take the money out. Can you leave the money where it is? How is it doing? If its doing well, why not leave it in the 401(k)? If you must withdraw, thats another program. You apparently have a decent amount of investment savvy in order to accomplish all you have outlined. That being observed, at 68 years old, I wouldnt want all the money in the marketplace, but I would want a substantial portion invested in good, solid American companies. The Johnson & Johnsons or Wal-Marts of the world are companies that have been around for a while and will continue to be around. Sure, you will go through hiccups when the value goes down, but you will also experience substantial increases. These companies pay decent dividends. I would have no problem investing a good portion of the $164,000 in companies with similar track records. If you want absolute security, you can have it, but at a terrific cost. Unless you are prepared to take a certain degree of risk, in todays world, you will be condemned to receiving very little return. DEAR BRUCE: I have relatives with special health care needs due to congenital defects and mental health issues who receive Social Security. What is the best way to leave them some money without affecting their ability to receive their Social Security income? I greatly appreciate any help you can provide to assist me in doing this the correct way. I have been sending them extra money for years and worry about them after I am gone. -- Reader, via email DEAR READER: The cold, hard facts are there is no direct manner that I know of in which you can leave a substantial amount of money to a person with this kind of problem and not affect the Social Security income. That having been said, if you can leave the money to some third party who you trust completely, perhaps they could dole the money out. There are a lot of folks who would say you would be avoiding the law, and that may be the case. I will leave that up to the individuals involved to determine how they want it handled. It may very well be that the amounts of money you have been giving are beneath the accepted limits, which have been increasing every year.
Smart Money
But that would not preclude an inheritance from affecting their benefits. As I understand the law, if you give money directly to your relatives, your action will very likely come to the attention of the authorities and could reduce their Social Security income. Whether or not you are comfortable working through a third party is another matter. I am not necessarily comfortable with my answer, but I am addressing the question as asked. I will leave the morality to you. DEAR BRUCE: I have two siblings who are much older. Ive lived with my mother all my life, and when her illness started about 10 years ago, I was the one who took care of her. My siblings never helped. During the time I was taking care of my mother, I had the house transferred under Medicares Child Caretaker Exemption Rule. My siblings were in agreement with this. When my mother died a few years ago, we went to the lawyer and learned we didnt need to probate the will. The house was already in my name, and the only other thing my mother had was a bank account, which had my name on it. We filed only for inheritance tax. I split up the money from the bank account, which I had no obligation to do. Later, my siblings wanted to take out a mortgage on the house so that I could split the money with them. My lawyer says I have no legal obligation to do so. I had my will and other documents rewritten earlier this year. I have decided to have my estate given to various charities. I was wondering what your thoughts are. -- Caregiver, via email DEAR CAREGIVER: My goodness! You have certainly been generous with your siblings, who made no contribution to your mothers happiness and care during her illness. The fact the house was transferred to your name is not a problem. Its yours and thats the end of the story. You split the money that was in the bank account, which you had no obligation to do. They then wanted you to take a mortgage on the house so you could split the money with them. You would have to be ready for the funny farm to do so. These people did nothing and now want you to share the proceeds of what your mother left behind. I think you are wise to give your estate to charity, and I wouldnt feel the least bit guilty. There can be little love between you and your siblings, and they have demonstrated their inconsideration and selfishness. I think you have been overly generous to this point and I wouldnt give them another nickel. (Send questions to bruce@ brucewilliams.com.

Putin signs treaty to add Crimea to map of Russia
MOSCOW (AP) In a gilded Kremlin hall used by czars, Vladimir Putin redrew Russias borders Tuesday by declaring the Crimean Peninsula part of the motherland provoking a surge of emotion among Russians who lament the loss of empire and denunciations from Western leaders who called Putin a threat to the world. In an ominous sign, a Ukrainian serviceman and a member of a local self-defense brigade were killed by gunfire in Crimea just hours after Putins speech, the first fatalities stemming from the Russian takeover. While Putins action was hailed by jubilant crowds in Moscow and cities across Russia, Ukraines new government called the Russian president a threat to the civilized world and international security, and the U.S. and Europe threatened tougher sanctions against Moscow.
WASHINGTON (AP) Some of Americas best cancer hospitals are off-limits to many of the people now signing up for coverage under the nations new health care program. Doctors and administrators say theyre concerned. So are some state insurance regulators. An Associated Press survey found examples coast to coast. Seattle Cancer Care Alliance is excluded by five out of eight insurers in Washingtons insurance exchange. MD Anderson Cancer Center says its in less than half of the plans in the Houston area. Memorial Sloan-Kettering is included by two of nine insurers in New York City and has out-of-network agreements with two more. In all, only four of 19 nationally recognized comprehensive cancer centers that responded to APs survey said patients have access through all the insurance companies in their states exchanges. Not too long ago insurance companies would have been vying to offer access to renowned cancer centers, said Dan Mendelson, CEO of the market research firm Avalere Health. Now the focus is on costs. This is a marked deterioration of access to the premier cancer centers for people who are signing up for these plans, Mendelson said. Those patients may not be able get the most advanced treatment, including clinical trials of new medications.
And theres another problem: its not easy for consumers shopping online in the new insurance markets to tell if top-level institutions are included in a plan. That takes additional digging by the people applying. The challenges of this are going to become evident as cancer cases start to arrive, said Norman Hubbard, executive vice president of Seattle Cancer Care Alliance. Before President Barack Obamas health care law, a cancer diagnosis could make you uninsurable. Now, insurers cant turn away people with health problems or charge them more. Lifetime dollar limits on policies, once a financial trap-door for cancer patients, are also banned. The new obstacles are more subtle. To keep premiums low, insurers have designed narrow networks of hospitals and doctors. The government-subsidized private plans on the exchanges typically offer less choice than Medicare or employer plans. By not including a top cancer center an insurer can cut costs. It may also shield itself from risk, delivering an implicit message to cancer survivors or people with a strong family history of the disease that they should look elsewhere. For now, the issue seems to be limited to the new insurance exchanges. But it could become a concern for Americans with jobbased coverage, too, if employers turn to narrow networks.
Council
(Continued from page 1A) Elmer Pohlman won the bid to farm six acres of cityowned land more or less located on Shenk Road. Pohlman bid $600 a year for five years. Other bids were $70 per acre and $76 per acre. Clerk Marsha Mueller read correspondence into the record, including a notice from the Ohio Department of Commerce reminding the city all liquor licenses expire on June 1; a letter from Dr. Bonnie Jones, DVM, to use Leisure Park for the second annual Bark for Life from 1-5 p.m. on June 21; and a request from Jefferson High School to block off Main Street from 6-11:30 p.m. on May 3 for the schools prom to be held at the Delphos Postal Museum. Council approved Jones request and George said she and Police Chief Kyle Fittro had more to discuss about the closure of Main Street on May 3. A letter was also read from resident Amy Hale expressing her concern about the hiring of additional police officers, her perception of councils lack of direction and the upcoming income tax increase on the May Primary Ballot. Hales questions were answered during the Finance Committee meeting. In other business, George informed council someone would be looking at the speaker system in council chambers for a possible fix and discussed a computer program that could be added to the citys web site so customers could calculate their water bills. Council used an executive session to discuss the discipline of an employee and the appointment of personnel. They returned to regular session with no action taken on the matters.

searchers a better read on the planes last known location, Thomas said. There are lots of reasons why they havent changed, but the major one is cost, he said. The next-generation technology would cost $70 to $80 billion in the U.S. Experts say the planes disappearance will likely put pressure on airlines and governments to improve the way they monitor planes, including handoff procedures between countries. Flight 370 vanished after it signed off with Malaysian air-traffic controllers, and never made contact with their Vietnamese counterparts as it should have.

I wanted to write and thank Council Member Andy Knueve for taking the time to talk to me after Mondays council meeting and to restate some of my thoughts and concerns. 1. I am concerned about the failure of council to provide to me, a constituent, with the numbers that were presented before council that would rationalize the cost, an additional police officer, would add to our city. 2. I am troubled by the lack of direction council is portraying to its citizens. 3. I question councils mindset of the proposed tax increase that is to be on the ballot in April. As to my first point, I find it disconcerting after talking to several council members, in regards to the additional officer in the budget, that I was unable to receive any concrete answer or explanation. (Only weeks ago, the auditors numbers for the budget were for ten officers, then at the budget meeting an eleventh officer was added to the budget, without any discussion on the floor). When I asked, for what I thought was a reasonable request, to see the Chiefs numbers as to why an extra officer was needed, I was told that there were none. He did not present a written argument for the validity of this additional burden on our citys budget, but presented a verbal argument that no council member was able to reiterate to me or give me any notes which were taken during the Chiefs proposal. There could be a myriad of reasons for the Chief of Polices request, I just dont know. That information was shared behind closed doors and the citizens are unable to obtain it. Before I can support the tax increase, I would need the basic information and numbers that led council to add an eleventh officer. It would be beneficial for all constituents, before councils
final vote on the budget, to have the Chief of Police share what he shared behind closed doors. I cannot in good faith vote again for the tax increase until, like Sheriff Crish, the Delphos Police Chief presents his request before his constituents, followed by a question and answer session and his request can be substantiated and supported by facts and backed by the auditor and board of control, along with council. I find it troubling that at a time when the city is facing enormous deficits and departmental cuts, that we are adding an additional officer. Let me give an analogy: I need the internet to pay my bills and for my childs schooling, but if I cannot afford it, I mail my bills and my child goes to the library. Does the Chiefs request substantiate the cost, and how can we know that without information, numbers and reasons? When you are facing the debt that we are facing every department must be at its lowest bottom line. As to the second point, there still has not been a clear proposal presented to our city as to what will happen if the tax increase is voted up or down. Councils lack of direction, the constant ping ponging of doing one thing only to undo what they have done at the next meeting, is at a minimum frustrating and challenging to us citizens. It seems that council wants to be noncommittal to any agenda until the tax vote when they may be forced into action. I also found it upsetting the way council handled the concerns of Mr. Honingford. I saw a frustrated, concerned citizen who had two issues: the limited time to get councils agenda and concerns that the Mayor made promises to city employees, which is not in his authority. This exchange could have been handled better at both ends, but as a public official, his issues
should have been addressed swiftly, courteously, and directly. That would have stopped the escalation of exchange. Elective office requires you to a higher standard and it is a privilege to serve this city. You represent me, and the people of Delphos, and councils behavior must be professional. What I saw could only be compared to children arguing, council must be above this. And, to address the third point, the proposed tax increase, I trust council does not view this as a surplus of money to be used to overturn all the savings we have incurred. But that was the impression projected at the meeting and it concerns me deeply. It has put into question my vote on this issue, an issue that I voted for in the past. We are already losing a decent portion of the savings we incurred by centralizing dispatch with the additional cost of a police officer, pension, insurance and all the cost that go with hiring a new city employee. I have concerns about the fiduciary prudency of council. There was talk about rescinding the furloughed employees hours, which I personally think would be a good idea because I have seen a loss of service. I would like to see the expense of the eleventh officer, which was estimated at around $60,000, go to our furloughed employees, which was estimated at a cost of $64,000. Or put into an emergency fund, road fund, membrane fund which benefits our city more? Again, thanks to Councilman Knueve for giving so generously of his time to listen to my concerns. I look forward to the prospect of a presentation by the police chief, and to future productive dialogue from council and our citizens in an endeavor to help move our city forward. Amy Hale Delphos
(Continued from page 1A) Additionally, Chapman said he and Richard Kirk of Kirk Bros. Inc. will have a meeting later this week to discuss the water treatment plant timeline. Both the village and Kirk are optimistic about the timeline. Residents will start seeing the erection of the building and then the equipment will soon follow, Johnson said. Council members passed two new resolutions during the council meeting. The first was a resolution authorizing the mayor to enter into agreement with Kohli & Kaliher for professional services related to the 2014 Ohio Public Work Commission Street Program. K&K will be responsible for putting together the bid documents, assisting with the bid opening, reviewing bids and recommending a contractor. They will also assist with the inspection of the project. Council members suspended the rules and passed on its first reading the resolution in support of State Issue I, renewal of the State Capital Improvements Program on the May 6 ballot. Sean (Chapman) has previously talked about this, Johnson said. Its for improvement to our infrastructure and resolutions to show the community how important it is. Councilmen Greg Hover asked if there was any new information on the transmission lines and the windmills in Lincolnview. The port authority proposed leasing land in eastern Ohio for the transmission lines, Johnson said. I have not heard any news on the subject. Johnson reported that Chapman had a meeting with Activate Allen County who promote healthy lifestyles where they talked about facilitating a mobile produce bus that will set up in the village once a month and sell low-cost fresh produce. Plans are still in the works and tentatively, the mobile unit is set to be in the area during the mornings from 9 a.m. to noon. More details will be released at a later time. With our lack of a grocery store, this will be a great opportunity, Johnson said. They make eight to 10 stops in Lima during the season and want to spread their outreach. Police Chief Darin Cook said with the weather getting nice, he wants to remind drivers to pay more attention to the kids, especially those on bikes. They have been cooped up, have cabin fever and dont look when they cross the street, Cook warned. Drivers also need to pay attention to speeding and rolling stops. Cook reported other than a faulty headlight on one of the cruisers, everything was running smooth.

Oh, I really liked it, she replied, Especially the tight pants and all the big muscles, but I just couldnt understand why they were killing each other over 25 cents. Dumbfounded, her date asked, What do you mean? Well, I saw them flip a coin and one team got it and then for the rest of the game, all they kept screaming was: get the quarterback. Get the quarterback! Its only 25 cents!
