two accounts with the bulk of the

money going into the Sewer Fund.
Im looking at these numbers
and the entire $400,000 is going into
these accounts and others are still
going to suffer. Its not spread out to
any other departments. Three years
from now, we still have people on
a 37-hour work week, Councilman
Del Kemper said with concern. You
know where Im going with this. We
need to devise a plan with everyone included to get everyone back
to work. We need everyone to be
involved, not half of the employees
carrying all the burden.
Councilman
and
Finance
Committee Chair Josh Gillespie said
he would like to sit down with Kemper

and see where, if at all, the money can
be found to make the city whole.
I dont disagree that we need to
get everyone back on full time but
it has to be in the budget, Gillespie
said. We are in charge of the budget.
We are in charge of how money is
spent. Its up to us to find a solution to
this and we need to stop talking about
it and do what we are here to do.
The discussion came during the
introduction of a pair of ordinances
to increase the water rates by 5 percent and sewer rates by 10 percent to
slow deficit spending in both funds.
The water rate increase will generate $89,000 per year and the sewer
rate increase $210,000 a year. The

new rates will be reflected on residents August billing.
Council also heard on first reading an ordinance authorizing the
safety service director to enter
into a contract with the successful
bidder for the East Second Street
Paving Project. The city was awarded an 80/20 Ohio Public Works
Commission Grant for the $189,000
project with the citys share at
$37,751, which will come from the
Motor Vehicle Permissive Tax Fund.
Jettinghoff said that fund stands at
approximately $50,000.

Crash ends at street light/traffic signal pole

Both drivers involved in a two-vehicle crash reported at 1:20 p.m. Tuesday at the intersection of
North Main and Second streets were transported to St. Ritas Medical Center by Delphos EMS for
possible injuries. Joan Rosendale, 84, of Delphos was traveling southbound on North Main Street
when a vehicle driven by Sally Croft, 71, of Delphos, northbound on Main Street, failed to yield when
making a left turn resulting in the collision. Both vehicles traveled to the southwest corner of the
street with Crofts vehicle striking a street light/traffic signal pole. Both cars were towed from the
scene. (dhi MEDIA/Stephanie Groves)
KALIDA Two weeks

after voting 5-1 against a
request by KMI Inc. for the
construction of two wind turbines, Kalida council members found themselves facing
business and industry representatives from their community at their meeting on
Monday.
The votes were cast at
the May 19 meeting, a meeting attended largely by residents opposed to the project.
Although some of the former
were seated or standing in the
municipal building and in the
adjacent fire hall Monday evening, a number of the individuals were present to recognize
KMI for its positive impact on
Kalida. Others expressed concerns about how the vote on
the KMI project was contrary
to the public input.
After an approval of bills,
Mayor Alan Gerdemann recognized the audience and
invited Ron Kahle to speak.
Kahle presented a list of 60
Kalida businesses who wished
to offer support for KMIs
presence. Kevin Kahle of B &
K Tool Inc. followed, stating
that he should have supported

Spencerville backyard thefts on the rise

BY STEPHANIE GROVES
DHI MEDIA Staff Writer
sgroves@delphosherald.com
SPENCERVILLE Police Chief Darin Cook reported
that there has been an escalation in the theft of backyard items
grills, fire rings and so forth recently in the North Main
Street area during the Spencerville Village Council meeting
Monday night.
There are one or two people pulling items to the alley, getting a vehicle and driving down the alley and loading it up,
Cook explained.
He said it is most likely two people since the items are
heavy and there would be too much noise if they were being
drug through yards. Cook urged residents seeing or hearing
noises at night to call the police department at 419-647-4141
and let the phone ring four or five times until it transfers to
the cruiser.
Cook was also adamant about strict enforcement of curfew
which prohibits kids under 16 years old from being out 9 p.m.
- 6 a.m. and kids 16 and 17 years old from being out between
11 p.m. - 6 a.m.
We need kids inside so they are not mistaken for the bad
guys we are looking for, he reasoned.
In addition, Cook asked council to form a committee so that
many paper records which are taking up space in the police
departments garage can be properly taken care of. He said
they have been scanned and downloaded.
Mayor P. J. Johnson responded by telling Cook that there
are draft policies in place and that he would look into the matter and take action.

For The Record
Failing to Yield caused more

than 40,000 crashes in 2013
Second-highest crash-causing violation in 2013
INFORMATION SUBMITTED
LIMA Motorists running red lights, stop signs or failing
to yield to traffic are causing far too many crashes in Ohio
each year. In fact, these violations were the second-highest
cause of fatal crashes in 2013. That is why the Ohio State
Highway Patrol is urging all motorists to take their time,
ensure that cross traffic is stopped or clear and obey all traffic
signs and signals.
Failure to yield violations can be deadly in 2013, 43,926
crashes in Ohio were caused by a driver failing to yield killing 169 people and injuring 26,185. Young drivers, age 16-25,
were at-fault in 31 percent of these crashes. This is nearly
twice as high as those aged 26-35 with 16 percent.

Drivers are urged to pay close attention to stop signs and
signals when traversing Ohios roadways, said Lt. Brant
Zemelka, Lima Post Commander. They need to ensure the
intersection is clear before entering it.
Drivers can avoid failure to yield crashes by:
Slowing down and taking their time
Looking both ways before entering an intersection
Signaling every turn and lane change
Making a complete stop at stop lights and stop signs
Yielding to other drivers and being courteous
To view the entire statistical analysis regarding failure to
yield crashes and citations, visit www.statepatrol.ohio.gov/
doc/FTY_Bulletin_2014.pdf.
As always, the Patrol asks drivers to call # 677 to report
impaired drivers or drug activity.

Critics attack EPAs new

carbon-cutting plan
dhi MEDIA STAFF and
WIRE REPORTS
news@delphosherald.com
The announcement of the Environmental
Protection Agencys new rules designed to
cut carbon output by Americas power plants
has been greeted with sharp disagreements by
local governmental representatives. The plan
is billed as an attack on global warming, but
detractors say it will make electric bills skyrocket. State lawmakers have already introduced legislation to try to limit any impact
in Ohio.
Todays proposed rule by President
Obama to cap carbon emissions at existing
U.S. power plants is complex and costly, and
will result in job loss and higher electricity costs for consumers. In many ways, it
mirrors cap and trade proposals rejected by
Congress, stated U.S. Senator Rob Portman.
Portman continued, The proposed rules
must be carefully scrutinized so we can understand how it will impact the reliability and
security of our nations electric grid. EPA regulations have already had an impact on electricity generation in Ohio. In fact, companies have
already announced that 41 electric-generating
units in Ohio will retire or convert to another
fuel source by 2015. When President Obama
outlined his top-down, one-size-fits-all EPA
proposals two years ago, many of us in Ohio
urged him not to expand the EPAs regulatory
overreach. Unfortunately, today we learned that
he has chosen to double-down on his federal
mandate approach. By doing so, he is ignoring
the pleas of Ohio businesses, manufacturers
and consumers who will be forced to pay the
price of his costly proposed standards for new
and existing power plants. Unfortunately, these
EPA regulations will cost Ohio jobs and hurt
consumers.
This regulation is another attack on lowcost, reliable energy that will cost thousands of U.S. jobs, make electricity more
expensive and curb economic growth, said

Congressman Bob Latta. The EPAs latest
billion-dollar regulation on existing power
plants is an unprecedented regulatory intrusion with far-reaching consequences for the
American people.
According to the Energy Institute of the U.S.
Chamber of Commerce, the new regulations
could result in the loss of 224,000 jobs in this
country each year, cut into disposable household income by more than $586 billion by the
year 2030 and increase electricity expenditures
by more than $289 billion by 2030.
Meanwhile, Ohio lawmakers are out to
try to limit the impact of the proposal in
the Buckeye State. According to the Public
Utilities Commission of Ohio, 69.7 percent of
the states power are generated by coal-fired
plants. Natural gas plants account for 15.16
percent of power in the state, while nuclear is
the source for 11.76 percent.
Ohio legislators are expected to act quickly
this week on a bill to do just that. States may
get several years to submit plans to cut pollution under the rule, which is a key part of
President Barack Obamas plans to reduce
pollution linked to global warming.
An Ohio bill whose sponsor cites bipartisan support would require that any powerplant performance plan Ohio submits to the
federal government protect the affordability and reliability of electricity and minimize
effects on industrial, commercial and residential consumers. A committee of lawmakers is
scheduled to vote on the measure Tuesday and
it is likely to be considered by the full House
soon thereafter.
Its kind of a delicate dance because the
Ohio EPA has to reconcile itself to what the
federal EPA is doing, said the bills sponsor,
Republican Rep. Andy Thompson of Marietta.
But within that context, we just want to make
sure that Ohio asserts the control that we can.

Lawmakers OK revised
teacher evaluation rules
COLUMBUS (AP) Highly-rated public schoolteachers will get fewer state-mandated performance evaluations under a bill
that zipped through the Ohio Legislature on
Tuesday after a committee maneuver.
The proposal cleared both the state Senate
and House with broad support the same day it
was slipped into a fast-moving Senate bill as
a way to get needed votes. The measure had
cleared the GOP-led Senate in December,
but it met resistance among some majority
House Republicans.
Republican Gov. John Kasich is expected
to sign it.
The surprise maneuver came in the Senate
Education Committee, which added most
of the earlier legislation to a separate bill
and passed it almost unanimously. Senate
Education Chair Peggy Lehner said similar
language was being removed from a midterm budget bill on education thats moving
toward a compromise vote this week.
The teacher evaluation changes were
prompted by educators concerns that Ohios
new evaluation rules requiring more classroom observation sessions, reports and conferences are misdirecting time and energy
toward high-performing teachers and placing
an undue burden on administrators.
The legislation reduces the frequency
of evaluations for teachers rated accomplished to every three years rather than
every two, and makes the reviews optional as
long as the educators students show average

or better annual academic growth. Teachers
rated skilled would be evaluated every
second year rather than annually. In interim
years, at least one classroom observation and
one conference would be required.
Student academic progress and classroom
performance would account for 42.5 percent
each of a teachers performance rating under
the new bill, a compromise between the 50
percent that some lawmakers wanted and the
35 percent advocated by others. The remaining 15 percent would be at the discretion of
local districts.
State Sen. Randy Gardner, a Bowling
Green Republican who sponsored the original bill, said its what the state wants.
This is a significant amendment that
really says to Ohioans that Columbus is listening, he said. These are improvements
that can provide some additional flexibility
in our schools while maintaining the important role that teacher evaluations play in our
school system.
Also under the proposal, school boards
could elect not to evaluate teachers who have
been on leave or are planning to retire, beginning with the coming school year.
Ohio Education Association President
Becky Higgins said earlier changes to a new
state teacher evaluation system championed
by Kasich were stronger, but the bill passed
Tuesday is a good start.

Marion Township trustees

meet with light agenda
The Marion Township Trustees held their meeting Tuesday

with the following members present: Joseph Youngpeter, Jerry
Gilden and Howard Violet.
The purpose of the meeting was to pay bills and conduct
ongoing business. The minutes of the previous meeting were
read and approved as read. The trustees then reviewed the bills
and gave approval for 18 checks totaling $11,675.47.
Two residents from the State Road and SR 309 area were
present to see if the trustees knew any more regarding the
water issue on State Road. Trustees told them they did not.
They told the trustees they had talked to the county and they
are proceeding forward to get the problem resolved.
Road Foreman Elwer reported that Road and Sign
Inventories for May have been completed.
Fiscal Officer Kimmet had a Purchase Order which need
signed for the grant money that American Township Fire
Department applied for and also due to this, a resolution was
needed to appropriate monies for the grant.
There being no further business, Trustee Youngpeter made a
motion to adjourn, which was seconded by Trustee Gilden and
passed unanimously.
Ohioans targeted by tax scams

INFORMATION
SUBMITTED
COLUMBUS Ohio
Attorney General Mike
DeWine Monday warned
that Ohioans are being
targeted by tax scams,
even though tax season
has ended.
Since April 15 (the
2014 tax-filing deadline), the Ohio Attorney
Generals Office has
received more than 50
reports of tax-related
scams from consumers
across the state. Most
consumers do not report
losing money, but a few
consumers have reported
losing $700 to $28,000
to the ploy.
Tax season is over,
but tax scams are continuing, DeWine said.
Con artists pretend to
be the IRS and tell consumers there is a problem with their taxes.
They make threats and
demand immediate payment. A legitimate government agency will not
do this.
In a typical variation
of the scam, a con artist
calls a consumer claiming to represent the IRS.
The caller says the consumer owes money for
back taxes or is under
investigation for tax
fraud. Then the caller

asks the consumer to
send money using a prepaid card to correct the
issue. Once the money is
sent, it is nearly impossible to recover.
The phone number
that appears on the consumers caller ID may
have a 202 (Washington
DC) area code, but
the number likely is
spoofed, or made up,
and the caller likely
is located outside the
country.
To guard against the
scams, be wary of callers who say:
You owe back
taxes.
Youre
being
investigated for tax
fraud.
The government
is going to seize your
money or property.
You will be arrested if you dont pay.
You must provide
information about your
tax return.
To report a potential scam or unfair
business practice, consumers should contact the Ohio Attorney
Generals Office at
800-282-0515 or www.

Senate OKs bill to cover

pets in protection orders
COLUMBUS (AP) A bipartisan Ohio bill would

allow cats, dogs and other family pets to be included
within the scope of protection orders obtained by victims of domestic violence or other offenses.
State senators unanimously passed the bill Tuesday,
sending it to the House.
Under the measure, courts could issue orders that
keep alleged offenders from threatening or interfering
with the care of victims animals. Judges could order the
removal of pets from alleged abusers and bar them from
having any contact with the animals.
Judges already can include animals in protection
orders, though the bill would put the authority into law.
The bills sponsor, Sen. Mike Skindell, says it ensures

Families sue over crash Bill targeting youth drug

that killed four teens abuse clears Legislature
ELYRIA (AP) Parents of three of the four teens
killed in a car crash near a northeast Ohio railroad
crossing are suing rail company CSX Transportation
Inc. and local officials from neighboring townships and
counties.
The wrongful death lawsuit filed Monday in Lorain
County alleges officials didnt properly maintain the
crossing and the road, among other accusations.
Investigators concluded the teens vehicle sped over
the crossing at an estimated 69 mph, went airborne and
then crashed in Columbia Township in June 2012. The
crash killed the 18-year-old driver, Jeffrey Chaya, and
three of his passengers: 17-year-old Blake Bartchak,
16-year-old Lexi Poerner and 18-year-old Kevin Fox. A
17-year-old girl survived.
Chaya and Fox were supposed to graduate from high
school on the day of the accident.
Families of the three passengers who died filed the
lawsuit against CSX, county commissioners and engineers in Lorain and Medina counties and the two townships that sit on either side of the track.
CSX declined to comment Tuesday, as did trustees from Columbia Township in Lorain County and
Liverpool Township in Medina County. Officials for
Lorain and Medina counties couldnt immediately be
reached.
After the crash involving the Brunswick High School
students, officials reduced the slope leading up to the
crossing, lowered the speed limit there and posted new
warning signs.

Eichers travel to
Mackinac Island for
Memorial Day weekend
BY LOVINA EICHER
It is Tuesday evening. Im sitting out

here on the front porch and it is very quiet,
almost too quiet. My sisters Verena and Susan
wanted our five school-age children to come
off the bus there and spend the night. They
will go back on the
bus in the morning.
Sister Emmas three
boys also went. They
have eight children
there from ages 6-14
so Im sure their evening is quite noisier
than usual.
Meanwhile, daughters Susan and Verena
went for a walk while
daughter Elizabeth is
out here on the porch also writing. My husband, Joe, is resting on his recliner after a
hard days work at the factory. Elizabeth and
Susan dont have to go to work at the factory
this week except for Friday. Verena and I were
glad for their help here at home today.
The floors were mopped and laundry
washed, dried and folded. We had the last of
the laundry in right before the rain came this
afternoon. The rain should give the garden a
boost.
Im enjoying my beautiful hanging pots
of flowers here on my porch. They were all
Mothers Day gifts. So far, I have kept them
looking nice with the help of my daughters.
I seem to be able to grow all kinds of vegetables but flowers are not my specialty. I love
flowers but I think I either over-water them or
not enough.
Our family had a very nice relaxing
Memorial Day weekend. We left at 4:30 a.m.
on Saturday morning bound for Mackinac
Island. We stayed at a motel in St. Ignace on
Saturday night. Sunday morning, we took
the ferry over to the island and spent the day
there. It gave us all some history lessons.
One of our highlights was driving over
the Mackinac Bridge that connects the Lower
Peninsula to the Upper Peninsula. We even
saw patches of snow still on the island. The
ferry ride was chilly as we wanted to sit on top
deck. It was quite a different experience: The
wonders of Gods creations. We have often
heard of Mackinac Bridge and Island. But
not until you see it can you really grasp the
wonders of it. When I asked the children what
the highlight of their trip was I get different

answers such as the ferry, the bridge, the pool
at the motel. I dont think anyone mentioned
the island as their favorite part.
Loretta was very wore out from all the
walking. Finally we talked to the man at the
livery stable and he let us rent their buckboard
wagon and Ned, a big workhorse. The wagon
had three seats and could seat all of us. We
took in a lot more scenery after that and rode
around the island for two hours.
When we arrived back to St. Ignace the
children wanted to go swimming again. The
pool relaxed them all, especially Loretta.
They also had a hot tub and that relaxed her
muscles. Loretta can swim and that is an
exercise that she is able to do. Water relaxes
her muscles.
We arrived back home safe and sound
Monday around 3 p.m. It was a very nice
family trip that will have good memories in
years to come. How often do we take our
good health for granted. Having a daughter
that needs extra time to get around puts us
back to a slower pace. It makes us appreciate
our health and gives us a sympathetic view
of other people with handicaps. The island
wasnt very handicapped accessible but we
are glad we all were able to see it. Seeing is
believing.
I think there were a lot of people on the
island that never heard of or seen Amish
before. We were stared at, asked questions,
laughed at and lots of pictures were snapped.
We all have the same God so we arent quite
so different after all. Curiosity tends to sometimes bring out rudeness from some people
but may God bless and forgive each one of
them.

Being Diabetic, I never had pain-free feet - UNTILNOW!
Pain Doctor Discovers Blood FlowBusting Material Into Miracle Socks

for Diabetics andfibers improve blood flow, relieve swelling,
Foot Pain Sufferers!
Breakthrough circulation-boosting
boost oxygen flow, and eliminate foot fatigue - naturally in as little as 5 minutes!
What part of your swollen, tired,

or achy feet would you like to see
go-away?
If you suffer from poor circulation, injury, swelling or any condition that leaves your feet fatigued
and sore, then read on to discover
the breakthrough that can change
your life.
Good news comes in the form of
a pain-busting microfiber that is
used to weave a circulation-boosting sock, called BambusaTM.
Better Blood Flow
The miracle sock is made from
a new, patented anion-technology
that is weaved into every strand of
thread used to make a BambusaTM
sock. This special micro-fiber
thread is made from revolutionary
bamboo charcoal to stimulate
blood flow andrevitalize feet.
When this material comes in contact with body-heat it is proven to
release circulation-boosting ions.
The 3D-weave technology used
in the material has been compared
to infrared light therapy to help revitalize stiff and sore muscles. The
manufacturer, who also makes a
back and wrist sleeve, says the material provides almost instant relief
to any part of the body it touches,
making it ideal for diabetics, athletes,inflammation, stiffness and
swelling.
Anne M. from California agrees.
Bambusa socks are absolutely the
most comfortable socks I have ever
worn! My feet are no longer fatigued!
From local news and

sports to what's on sale
at the supermarket, the
Delphos Herald keeps you
in the local loop.

Therapy
Without A Prescription!
When the socks were photographed using a thermographic
imaging camera, results showed up
to a 17% to 22% increase in blood
flow. This helped to improvemuscle oxygenation and decrease foot
fatigue. The socks have been proven
to provide extended relief from
cold, swollen and fatigued feet.

Pain specialist
of 30 years, Dr.
Jahner comments
on the 3D-weave
technology. Infrared therapy has
been used for
years at medical
clinics to treat vascular and circulatory conditions. Physical therapists
use infrared therapy to speed recovery. Better blood flow equals
less pain. This microfiber works
much the same way.

The infrared anions generated by the charcoal bamboo increase blood flow and deliver oxygen to the tissues. After
wearing for only minutes there is an increase in temperature
due to the increased blood flow, resulting in improved comfort and reduced swelling. Twenty minutes after using the
anion-fiber infused socks, patient has better blood flow and
less numbness.
"Circulatory dysfunction affects
MOST of the adult population in
the United States. Heart Disease,
Strokes and Diabetic conditions are
at epidemic levels; anything that
improves circulation improves cellular health and vitality. I use the
Bambusa product myself and recommend it to my clients. It really
works! states Dr Jahner.
Results in Minutes?
John G. of California claims he
felt immediate results with his
tired, swollen feet. Without exaggeration the relief was almost instantaneous. It is like a heating pad
set to low and wrapped around my
calf. I will be replacing my entire
set of dress socks with these
socks!
Relief for Tired, Swollen Feet
BambusaTM socks are not a medical device or compression socks
because they dont restrict blood
flow. Utilizing the special negativeanion technology, they comfortably
increase blood flow and oxygen to
tissues. My feet felt wonderful,
cool, and I never got that pins and
needles feeling anymore. I love my
BambusaTM socks, says Nancy,
from NJ.
They are ideal for diabetics and
those suffering from neuropathy or
injury from repetitive use. BambusaTM socks can also bring comfort to tired legs within minutes of
putting them on, energizing individuals who spend long hours on
their feet.
Goodbye to Pain and Numbness
Marilyn H. has suffered persistent foot problems for years and noticed fast results. The issue for me
was persistent numbness in my
toes - it was gone completely after
a few days of wearing these socks!
Being diabetic, I never had painfree feet - UNTILNOW!
I went out on the golf course

for 18 holes of golf, and when I got
home my feet werent swollen,
they werent sweating and my feet
didnt hurt, says Lou B. from New

Reds 8, Giants 3
CINCINNATI Devin Mesoraco hit
a 2-run homer and Jay Bruce emerged
from a slump by driving in a pair of runs
on Tuesday night, leading the Cincinnati
Reds to their season-high fourth win in
a row, an 8-3 victory over the
sloppy San Francisco Giants.
Mesoraco hit his ninth
homer off Tim Lincecum
(4-5), who has beaten the
Reds during the playoffs but
never during the regular season. Bruce,
who spent time on the disabled list following surgery for torn knee cartilage,
knocked in his first run since April 25.
Homer Bailey (6-3) went six innings
in his first game against the Giants since
his no-hitter against them last July 2 at
Great American Ball Park. The righthander gave up three runs and five hits,
including Hunter Pences homer, double
and single.
The Giants have the majors best
record at 37-21 but were undone by a
season-high four errors. Lincecum had

a throwing error and catcher Hector
Sanchez threw two balls into center field
on steal attempts.
Cincinnati won this one with a pair of
big innings. The Reds scored four times
in both the first and fifth innings.
Lincecum matched his career high by
giving up eight runs in only 4 1/3
innings. Bruce doubled home a
run in the first inning for his 500th
career RBI and Mesoraco homered
for a 4-0 lead.
Brandon Phillips doubled home
two more runs in the fifth and
Bruce had an RBI single as the
Reds pulled ahead 8-3.
NOTES: Ryan Vogelsong (3-2)
starts the second game against
LHP Tony Cingrani (2-5), who is
0-3 with a 5.29 ERA in three starts
since returning from the DL.
Bruce is the fifth-youngest Reds
player to have 500 RBIs, trailing Johnny
Bench, Frank Robinson, Vada Pinson
and Adam Dunn. Joey Votto was
cleared to hit and take infield practice
with the team. If that goes well, hell

start a minor-league rehab assignment.
Votto has been on the DL since May
21 with a strained muscle above his left
knee.
Indians 5, Red Sox 3
CLEVELAND Michael Bourn hit
a 2-run double in the seventh inning to
break a tie and the Cleveland Indians
won their season-high fifth straight with
a 5-3 victory over the Boston Red Sox
on Tuesday night.
Bourns double off Andrew Miller
snapped a 3-all tie and sent the Red
Sox to their second straight loss
after winning seven consecutive
games.
Nick Hagadone (1-0) struck
out three in 1 1/3 innings. Cody
Allen recorded the final four outs
for his fifth save.
Jake Peavy (1-3) allowed
five runs in 6 1/3 innings. The
right-hander, who hasnt won since
April 25, gave up three runs in the first
but held the Indians scoreless until the
seventh.
Wildcats drop 1st 2 ACME contests

By JIM METCALFE
dhiMEDIA Sports Editor
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS The nights

were as disparate as could be
in Jeffersons first two ACME
Summer Baseball contests.
Tuesday at Wildcat Field,
it was a near-perfect spring
night.
Monday night at Russell
Fisher Field at Smiley Park
in Van Wert, it featured gusty
winds and a steady rain the
last 4 1/2 frames.
However, the outcome was
the same for the Wildcats: a
5-4 loss to Bath Tuesday and
a 12-9 loss to Van Wert the
night before.
Versus Bath, the
visiting Wildcats got
a 4-spot in the top
of the first versus
Delphos starter Josh
Teman (4 innings,
7 hits, 5 runs, 3 earned, 1
base-on-balls) with four hits,
including a 2-run double
by Dylan Burkholder (Cam
Clark and Andrew Renner)
and an earlier 2-run single
by Clark (Ty Stahr and Luke
Niebel).
Jefferson got one back
in the home second versus
Bath starter Jared Davis (4
2/3 IPs, 4 hits, 7 BBs, 4 runs,
1 earned, 4 Ks) on four free
passes with one out to
Ryan Bullinger, Nick Fitch
and Jake Pulford and two
outs to Teman. However, they
couldnt add another run that
frame.
The visitors went up 5-1
in the third on a 2-out free
pass (Troy Jordan), a single
by Drew Korkate and an error
on the play.
The Red and White
reduced that to 5-2 in the
bottom half on free passes
to Jace Stockwell (leadoff),
Gaige Rassman (1 out), an
error and a run-scoring single
by Fitch; however, Rassman
got caught too far after rounding third and eventually was
tagged out.
Jefferson neared within 5-4 in the fifth, chasing
Davis for Chase Clark (2 1/3
IPs, 3 hits, 2 Ks), piecing
together a Stockwell single,
a 2-base outfield error, a balk
(plating Stockwell) and an
infield hit by Gage Mercer
(Hunter Binkley). Bullinger
got aboard on an error but
Clark got the final out.
Brandan Herron came on
in the Bath fifth and threw
three frames of 2-hit, 1-strikeout ball.
The hosts had a prime
chance in the last of the seventh on a leadoff single by
Adam Rode, a Stockwell sacrifice, a hit by pitch (Binkley)
and a single by Rassman.
However, a strikeout and a
grounder ended the threat and
the game.
Jefferson
visits
Lincolnview 6 p.m. Friday;
its game versus Crestview
today has been postponed due
to the Knights playing in the
Division IV State semifinals.
The night before at Smiley
Park, the Cougars backed up
the solid relief pitching of
Kaleb Jenkins with a 12-hit
attack and outslugged the
Wildcats 12-9.
Jenkins threw 4 2/3
innings of relief (3 hits, 3
unearned runs, 1 base-onballs, 3 strikeouts) of starter
Caleb Fetzer (2 1/3 IPs, 3
hits, 6 BBs, 1 K, 6 earned
runs).
The Wildcats sent three
hurlers to the mound: southpaw starter Bullinger (3 IPs, 9
hits, 8 runs, 3 earned, 3 BBs,
1 K), Binkley (2 IPs, 3 hits, 3
earned runs, 2 BBs, 2 Ks) and
Rode (1 IP, 1 unearned run,
3 BBs).
Leading the Cougar attack
were Fetzer, Brant Henry (3
runs scored) and Gavin Cross
(3 runs batted in) each
2-for-2 Mason Carr 2-for3 and Justice Tussing 2-for-4.
For the Wildcats, Bullinger
(2 runs), Binkley, Fitch (2
RBIs, 2 runs), Rassman,
Mercer and Jake Pulford (2
RBIs), each with one hit.
The Wildcats scored twice
in the top of the first on a
leadoff walk to Stockwell, a
stolen base and RBI singles
by Rassman (1 out) and, after
a wild pitch, Bullinger (2
outs).
The Cougars sent 11 to
the dish in the home first,
putting together two walks,
an error and five knocks:
one a 2-run double by Gavin
Cross (Mason Carr and Josh

Braun), another a run-scoring ground-rule 2-bagger by
Ethan Williams (Joe Lisa) and
run-scoring singles by Fetzer
(Henry) and Braun (Fetzer).
An earlier sacrifice fly by
Gavin Gardner (Williams)
accounted for the sixth run.
The visitors got within 6-4
in the top of the second on
two walks (Rode and Fitch), a
run-scoring double (Pulford)
and a 1-out bases-loaded
bounceout by Binkley.
Van Wert made it 7-4 in
the home half: leadoff single
by Henry, a balk, a 1-out hit
(Fetzer) and a steal of home.
Delphos tied it 7-7 in
the top of the third on three
walks, a hit batter, a
2-run single by Fitch
(Bullinger and Kurt
Wollenhaupt) and an
error (Fitch).
After that half
inning, the threatening skies began to open up
and the rain did not stop the
rest of the contest.
The hosts took the lead for
good in the home half of that
frame on a Gardner leadoff
free pass, a wild pitch and
a 1-out knock to center by
Cross.
The hosts added a solo
tally in the fourth on a leadoff
wicked-hop triple by Henry
and a 1-out grounder by
Jenkins for a 9-7 edge.
The Cougs put the lead
at 11-7 in the fifth as leadoff walks to Braun and Ryan
McCracken led to a run-scoring double to center (Justice
Tussing) and a 1-out sacrifice
fly (Henry).
The home team accounted
for its final run in the sixth on
an error on a leadoff grounder
by Jenkins, a wild pitch, a
Carr groundout and a wild
pitch.
Jefferson tried to rally
from a 12-7 deficit in the
top of the seventh and used
four errors on the Cougars to
score twice: Mercer (fielders
choice error) and Bullinger
(sacrifice fly by Pulford).
However, a strikeout ended
the outing.
Van Wert is slated to host
St. Johns 6 p.m. today.

$15 minimum
wage permits few
luxuries in US cities
SEATTLE (AP) A $15
minimum wage like the one
adopted in Seattle doesnt
buy many luxuries in most
American cities.
Lattes, theater tickets and
cable television will still be
out of reach for most minimum-wage workers. But
about $31,000 a year should
be enough to pay the average rent for a shared one-bedroom apartment, plus utilities,
health insurance, groceries
and an inexpensive cellphone
plan.
Mondays vote by the
Seattle City Council created
the nations highest minimum wage. The state minimum wage in Washington was
already $9.32 an hour, the
highest state wage in the U.S.
Expatistan, a website that
tracks the cost of living in
cities around the world, says
New York, San Francisco,
Washington, D.C., Honolulu,
Boston and Seattle are the
most expensive U.S. cities
overall, in that order.
In Seattle, a gallon of milk
averages about $3.60, a gallon of gas $3.94, a ride on the
bus $2.50. A 16-ounce latte at
Starbucks is $3.35 and a pint
of local beer $4.50. A typical
one-bedroom apartment rents
for $1,400.
Seattles wage is set to
begin climbing in April 2015,
with many workers reaching
$11 an hour next year. That
will surpass San Franciscos
minimum wage, which at
$10.55 an hour is currently the
highest of any American city.
An Associated Press comparison of the cost of living in
several other major U.S. cities
shows a higher wage would
make a difference in those
places too, but it wont allow
for many extras.

US auto sales hit 9-year high in May

DEE-ANN DURBIN
Associated Press
DETROIT Brisk demand for SUVs and

pickup trucks and five sunny weekends
pushed U.S. auto sales to a nine-year high in
May.
Chrysler, Nissan and Toyota all reported
double-digit sales gains over last May. Even
General Motors, battling bad publicity from a
mishandled recall, surprised with a 13 percent
sales increase.
Fords sales rose a better-than-expected 3
percent, while Hyundais were up 4 percent.
Of major automakers, only Volkswagens sales
fell.
May is traditionally a strong month for the
auto industry, as buyers spend their tax returns
and think ahead to summer road trips. This
years calendar, with five weekends, gave it an
extra boost. Sales were particularly strong the
last weekend of the month, automakers said.
Sales rose 11 percent to just over 1.6 million in May. That was the highest monthly
total since July 2005, according to Kelley Blue
Book.
The surge helped erase doubts about the
strength of the industry. January and February
sales were weaker than expected as consumers
spent more time shoveling snow than shop-
ping.
Its the continued recovery in the summer
selling season, said Jeff Schuster, executive vice president of forecasting for LMC
Automotive, an industry consulting firm. Kind
of everything aligning in the month of May.
June should bring more of the same, said
Karl Brauer, a senior analyst with Kelley
Blue Book. May sales were driven by pent-up
demand from the winter, he said, but the summer months will likely be strong because of
other factors, including low interest rates, good
lease deals and enticing new vehicles.
Automakers didnt need big discounts to
boost sales. Car buying site TrueCar.com estimated incentives were flat from last May and
up 4 percent from April to $2,677 per vehicle.
TrueCar said Hyundai, Kia and Honda had
the biggest increases in incentives in May.
Chrysler, GM and Nissan offered fewer deals.
GM said May was its best month since
August 2008. Sales of its GMC Yukon and
Buick Encore SUVs more than doubled, and
buyers snapped up the new Chevrolet Corvette.
GMC Sierra pickup sales gained 14 percent.
Brauer said buyers havent been deterred by
GMs multiple recalls 13.8 million vehicles
so far this year and questions about how
long the company took to report safety problems in older cars.
Online pirates thrive on legitimate ad dollars

LOS ANGELES (AP) Movie and music piracy thrives
online in part because crafty website operators receive advertising dollars from major companies like Comcast, Ford and
McDonalds.
Thats the conclusion of several recent reports that shed
light on Internet piracys funding sources.
Content thieves attract visitors with the promise of free
downloads and streams of the latest hit movies, TV shows and
songs. Then they profit by pulling in advertising from around
the Internet, often concealing their illicit activities so advertising brands remain unaware.
Pirate websites run ads that are sometimes covered up by
other graphics. They automatically launch legitimate-looking
websites as pop-up windows that advertisers dont realize are
associated with piracy. At the end of the day, the pirate website operators still receive a check for serving up a number of
views and clicks.
The illicit activity is estimated to generate millions of dollars annually. Thats only a small portion of the roughly $40
billion of online ad spending every year. Yet it is helping to
feed the creation of millions of copyright-infringing websites
that provide stolen content to a growing global audience.
(Companies) placed their ads on the assumption that they
were going to be on high-quality sites and theyre not, said
Mark Berns, vice president of MediaLink LLC, a consulting
firm that produced a study looking into the practice called
Good Money Gone Bad.
The study, commissioned for the Digital Citizens Alliance,
a Washington-based group that advocates for a safer Internet,
sampled 596 of the worst-offending websites. Researchers
discovered that the infringing websites were displaying ads
from 89 premium brands like Walmart, McDonalds, Google,
Microsoft and Ford.

FROM $99
A MONTH
Its certainly fair to say that millions of dollars in revenue

from premium brand ads are supporting content theft sites,
Berns said.
Thats similar to an estimate from DoubleVerify, an online
fraud protection company. According to a DoubleVerify report
released last May, rogue website operators cheat mainstream
advertisers out of $6.8 million each month, mainly by laundering ad traffic in ways that are hard to detect.
Theres growing awareness of the unscrupulous tactics
that sites will go to to collect their dollars, said DoubleVerify
chief operating officer Matt McLaughlin.
Several advertisers and top technology firms that operate
ad networks like Google and Microsoft say the fraud
is difficult to stop. Ads for Googles Chromecast streaming
device and Microsofts Bing search engine were among those
that appeared on pirate websites.
Microsoft said in a statement that while it monitors where
its ads end up, it sometimes relies on others bringing infractions to its attention to take actions on non-compliant sites.
Google said it invests significant resources to keep its and
its partners ads from appearing on pirate sites and requires
users of its AdSense service to agree to its anti-piracy policies. When we find violators of these policies, well take
the appropriate actions including blacklisting URLs and,
in some cases, ending our relationships with publishers as
quickly as possible, a spokesman said in a statement.
Several companies listed in the report as having advertised
on pirate websites declined to comment, including Comcast,
Ford, Toyota, McDonalds, L.L. Bean, Cablevision, Time
Warner Cable, and Target.

Smart
Money
it, both money and possessions, can I begin to disperse
any funds to myself, being the
direct descendent/inheritor of
all thats left, before the estate
closes? If I can disperse funds
before the estate is closed, do
I claim them in the year I
disperse them or the year the
estate closes?
Also, do I file taxes for the
estate this year, even though
it may close next year? Can I
defer estate taxes until the year
it closes? -- C.J., via email
DEAR C.J.: You mentioned you are the direct
descendent and inheritor;
thats two different items. If
you were named as the sole
beneficiary of the will, you
may or may not be able to disburse something to yourself.
Whether thats a smart thing
to do is another question. You
will be required to satisfy all
of your fathers bills and any
other obligations before you
can make disbursements. That
should not be a major problem.
If you can disburse the funds
before the estate is closed, you
claim in that year. The only real
thing to claim that I can see is
income from monies that are
left in the estate, which will
have to be taxed.
As to filing taxes, there
will be no estate taxes, unless
the estate is extremely large
-- only the taxes on the monies
the estate is holding until they
have been disbursed.
DEAR BRUCE: I have
been married for two years.
We both have fair incomes.
She makes $35,000 a year as
a nurse, and I make $33,000
as a mechanic. We are both 35
years old. My question is, how
much of our paychecks should
go into my 401(k)? -- Reader,
via email
DEAR READER: There
is no magic percentage, but a
minimum of 10 percent would
make a great deal of sense.
It will leave you with about
$60,000 before taxes.
The next question is, how
is the 401(k) doing? If its
doing OK, in other words getting a good return, youll want
to contribute the maximum.
Failing that, it may be to your
advantage, because you are in
a low tax bracket, to consider
an investment in a mediumrisk stock.

DEAR BRUCE: Before I

get married, I am wondering
whether we should have joint
or separate checking accounts.
We have been together for
three years and I dont have
any reason not to trust her,
but you hear stories of how
things can end up. -- Reader,
via email
DEAR READER: You ask
a valid question. The fact that
you have been together and
you dont have any reason not
to trust her is a consideration.
If you are both employed, consider figuring out how much
money you should each drop
into a joint account to be used
to pay the bills; the balance
would go into your separate
checking accounts, savings
accounts, investments, etc.
There is no serious disadvantage. You will still file a
joint tax return, but this way
you will both have an interest
in how you spend your money.
It may well be that she will
spend money on things that
you dont agree with, and she
may have the same problem
with you. But you both can
contribute to the joint expenses, and the remainder of the
money can be spent at your
sole discretion.
DEAR BRUCE: This is
not my problem, but its one
that really irks me. I have a
granddaughter who is married, working and still going
to school to earn a degree. She
is always complaining about
how the two of them are going
to pay her student loans.
What really bothers me
is their style of living. They
have two new vehicles, a new
motorcycle, a pool and constantly go out to eat. I know
they both work hard, but they
dont see their obligations as
a priority or even put anything
aside to repay the loans. They
are waiting for the time when
it will be dismissed.
It has been hard for me to
not say anything, but I dont
want to cause any family discord. -- N.C., via email
DEAR N.C.: You said it all
in the last line about not saying
anything because it will only
cause family discord. I agree.
These people are being
very irresponsible. However,
its not your obligation. If they
come to you in the future,
wanting help because of the
burden of their obligations,
then it becomes an issue where
you can legitimately say,
Well, you guys squandered a
great deal of money, but now
its up to you to pay the piper.
DEAR BRUCE: Im an
avid reader of your syndicated
column that appears in my
local paper. Im currently the
executor/administrator of my
dads estate, and I have a few
questions Id like to pose to see
if you can point me in the right
direction.

Elsie the Cow was more

popular than Truman
By Gary Clothier
Q: What type of
cow is Elsie, the
Borden mascot? -B.D., Portage, Mich.
A: Elsie is a Jersey.
She was born -- well,
created -- in the early
1930s. By the end of
the decade, she was
so popular she was
receiving fan mail.
At the 1939 Worlds
Fair in New York
City, one of the most
popular questions at
the Borden display
was which of the
150 cows on display
was Elsie. The bestlooking cow was
chosen and given the
name Elsie. In 1940,
she and her love,
Elmer the Bull, were
married. Shortly after
that, Beulah was born.

popularity

In 1947, Elsie and
Elmer had a son,
Beauregard. In 1957,
Elsie had twins. A
nationwide
naming
contest was held, and
Larabee and Lobelia
were the winning
names. In 2000, Elsie
was named one of
the top 10 advertising
icons of all time by

By the end of

One of my closest
friends husbands was
recently diagnosed
with it. He is only 62.
I thought Alzheimers
was only memory
loss, but it seems
like so much more.
His personality has
changed. She tells me
he gets angry with her
when she tries to help
him.
What exactly is
Alzheimers,
and
what can be done to
stop it? -- UNSURE
IN OAK PARK,
ILLINOIS
DEAR UNSURE:
Im sorry to say
-- from personal
experience -- that
Alzheimers disease,
while often thought
of as minor memory
loss, is a disease
that is ultimately
fatal. Its cause is
not yet understood.
I lost my mother
to it. Alzheimers
kills nerve cells and
tissue in the brain,
causing it to shrink
dramatically. It affects
a persons ability
to communicate, to
think and, eventually,
to breathe. At least
44 million people
worldwide
are
now living with
Alzheimers disease
and other dementias.
As our populations
age, those numbers
will swell to 76
million by 2030.
Currently there is
no way to prevent,
stop or even to slow
the progression of
Alzheimers disease.
Some drugs manage
the symptoms, but
only temporarily. This
is why more funding
for Alzheimers and
more support for
the families who
are caring for loved
ones who have it are
so urgently needed.
Please suggest to your
friend that she contact
the
Alzheimers
Association for help
because it offers
support groups for
spouses.
Readers, June is
Alzheimers
and
Brain
Awareness
Month. If you are
concerned
about
Alzheimers disease
-- and we all should
be -- you can get
involved by joining
the
global
fight
against this very
nasty disease. To

Gear up to make the changes

this year that will help you feel
accomplished. Procrastinating
is a waste of time, and waiting
for things to happen or come to
you will end in disappointment.
You can improve your station
in life significantly if you are
proactive.
GEMINI (May 21-June
20) -- The answer to a personal
problem will reveal itself.
A situation that you thought
unresolvable will come to an
amiable conclusion if you are
willing to negotiate.
CANCER (June 21-July
22) -- An unexpected surprise
will develop, helping a difficult
situation turn positive. Cast
your worries aside and plan to
relax with someone you enjoy
spending time with.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

-- If you wish to raise your
standard of living, make some
adjustments. Your current
employer may be nice, but
could also be taking advantage
of your talents. Inquire about
salaries for equivalent jobs.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
-- Your good-natured joking
will be misinterpreted. Make
sure you are laughing with your
friends, not at them. A feud is
likely to develop if you arent
tactful.

Crucial East Coast highway bridge closed

WILMINGTON, Del. (AP)
Highway engineers say a
crucial bridge on the Eastern
Seaboards interstate highway
system could imperil drivers if
traffic is allowed back on it.
The
bridge,
near
Wilmington, Delaware, was
closed Monday when its support pillars were found to be
tilting. The Interstate 495 bridge
wont reopen anytime soon,
highway officials said Tuesday,
and the 90,000 vehicles that
cross it every day are being
diverted onto the main north
highway, I-95, further overloading one of the most crowded
arteries in America.
EPA
Engineers say ground under

the columns moved and caused
the supports to tilt. Officials
said they believe the mile-long
bridge over the Christina River
is not in any danger of collapsing under its own weight. But
out of concern for public safety,
they do not want to allow traffic back on it until they find out
more about what caused the
pillars to shift.
We never said that it was
ready to fail. We were concerned about the tilt because
that was abnormal behavior
for that structure, said Rob
McCleary, chief engineer for

Council
member
Jason
Birkemeiers offered an interpretation of the wind turbine issue as it
was posed to voters on the 2012
ballot.
A lot of it is perception; I understand that, he said. But the language that we put on the ballot
was Shall construction and operation of wind turbines be allowed in
industrial-zoned areas of the village
of Kalida with the prior approval of
the village council?
As council, when we put that
issue on the ballot, we were looking
Budgets
at a change to an ordinance that was

already in place, that had given us
little opportunity at all to put wind
turbines in the village, he said.
What we were looking for was a
voice from the community. Should
we even entertain that at some point
down the road? We took that 65
percent vote in favor and we made
those changes to the ordinance.
Birkemeir further explained that
the vote gave council the power to
determine when the construction of
wind turbines is appropriate.
Denny Kerner, proprietor of The
Village Caf, expressed concern
about information presented to
council at its last meeting that may
have swayed their vote. Did any
of you council members do any
studying of this project, besides
out-of-state, internet research? he
asked. Did you go to Van Wert
and personally talk to anybody
who lives under these things? Did
you walk under them? Did you
Council heard on second reading

two pieces of legislation related to the
citys finances. One was an ordinance
to implement the approved .25-percent
income tax increase and the other to permit Gallmeier and Safety Service Director
Shane Coleman to enter into a three-year
agreement with Lakeview Farms for water
and sewer rates.
Council also heard on second reading legislation to add sick leave hours to
current city employees accumulated sick
leave balances.
During police contract negotiations, it
was discovered the citys policy and procedure manual was not in compliance with
the Ohio Revised Code, leaving the city
to correct six years worth of sick leave
hours to make up the difference between
the 3.08 hours the city had been giving
and the 4.6 hours required by law for each
completed 80 hours in active pay status.
The city had not been in compliance from
2008 through November 2013.
Jettinghoff said the accrued hours
totaled approximately $40,000 if cashed
out at the 50 percent limit upon retirement.
Hours credited ranged from 179-271
per employee.
A fourth ordinance allowing the administration to dispose of city assets was also
heard on second reading. The city has several items including a 1996 Dodge Ram, a
2000 Dodge Intrepid, a 3-inch Fairbanks
moore pump, an Emerson 30-HP motor, a
Galion 8-ton dump bed, a little dump, two

guys voted for the benefit of the
village.
Council member Bob Buss said
that he did go to Van Wert. He stated
that his opposition to the proposed
wind turbine project stemmed from
concerns about property values.
Birkemeier said this was the major
issue for him, as well.
If we vote yes, thered never
be a chance to change that, Buss
said. But if we said no, this kind
of meeting can take place, we can
rehash this and see if its the right
thing.
Bill Rieman, Kalida School
enhancement committee president,
Pioneer Day publicity chairman
and park board president, said,
Nobody ever said these wind turbines were going to be the be-all,
end-all, that KMI was going to

This will be a great help to us,
Coleman said. Theyll help us get caught
up with meter reading and some other jobs
that need done in the parks, etc.
Coleman also reported Police Chief
Kyle Fittro is looking into accidents that
have occurred at the intersection of East
First and South Franklin streets and an
officer has been on-site watching traffic
patterns, etc.
Resident Joe Painter has shared his
suggestion of putting a traffic signal at the
corner at the last council meeting.
When vehicles are parked at the
church, its difficult to see when traveling
west on First Street, Painter said. When
Pierce Street is blocked off for the kids
during school, the traffic has to go down
to Franklin Street. Its hard to see and Id
I know theres going to be cries of doom

and gloom, said Strickland, president of the
Center for American Progress Action Fund,
the advocacy arm of a Washington think tank.
Utilities are going to say its going to cost us
so much money and rates are going to go up,
and, you know, were going to hear the same
kind of special interests complaining that usually accompanies any effort to improve our
environment in any way.
Environmental advocates say the plan will
protect peoples health, lead to innovation and
boost the economy. Energy groups and other
opponents contend it will have negative economic effects, pointing to a potential cost of
billions of dollars to carry out the plan.
Portman noted, Americans support a
cleaner environment, but time and time
again, they have rejected policies that
require handcuffing our economy in
exchange for vague environmental promises. Rather than unilaterally establishing
burdensome regulations on the backs of
Ohios coal miners and electricity consumers, the President should work with
Congress to promote a consensus-based
energy plan that utilizes all of the abundant domestic resources at our disposal
including cleaner burning of coal, natural
gas, nuclear, energy efficiency, and renewable resources to lower energy costs
and ensure we have access to reliable,
affordable, and cleaner domestic energy. In
addition, I will continue to work with my
Senate colleagues to find a path forward to
get my bipartisan energy efficiency legislation over the finish line. It is an example
of an energy policy that is good for jobs,
good for the environment, good for the
economy, and good for Ohio taxpayers.
(With this plan) coupled with the EPAs
new source regulations proposed last fall,
the coal industry is on a path toward early
extinction. This will be especially harmful
in places like Ohio where 70 percent of our
power comes from coal and weve already
lost 41 units to early retirement or conversion as a result of previous regulations.

This community has always

Unverferth
of

Manufacturing. Thats how communities grow. We need to keep
that in the forefront.
K. Kahle asked if the wind turbine option for KMI is dead.
Speaking for myself, its never
dead, said Fortman, adding that
he would like to talk with Rick
Esch, KMI Senior Vice President,
about the issue. Safety is an issue.
Ive never heard of someone being
killed by one and I dont want to
hear that.
We want KMI to be able to do
what they do and remain competitive in the global market. Obviously
this was one of the methods they
were using to get to that point,
said K. Kahle. The trickle-down
effect affects every business in this
community. Whats the business
hate to have an accident where someone is hurt before we do something.

Coleman gave updates on several
issues he has been working on, including a collapse of brickwork on a downtown building.
I have been in touch with the
owner and he assured me the matter
will be taken care of, Coleman said.
He also informed me there are several
downtown businesses for sale and any
interested party can contact me and I
will pass along the information.
He said hes also been working on
code violations with residents reporting unkempt yards, etc.
I just want to remind residents that
if we have to come and mow a property it is $200 for the first hour and
$100 for every hour after that with a
$50 administration fee, he said.
Coleman added that he had spoken
with Cintas about the lot where the
Van Dyne Crotty building stood and as
of two weeks ago, Cintas still planned
to finish off the site with grass seeding.
Before the close of the meeting,
Councilman Mark Clement suggested
the city hold a voter appreciation
day at the city pool to thank voters
for passing the .25-percent income tax
increase. Councilmen were amenable
to the suggestion and agreed to discuss
it further at the next council meeting at
7 p.m. June 16.
Jettinghoff has also called for a
public hearing at 6:30 p.m. June 16 for
the 2015 Budget.
In a worst-case scenario,
such as a crash that forced
traffic to back up and stall in
both directions on the six-lane
bridge, certain parts of it might
not be able to handle the weight
load within acceptable safety
standards, officials said.
If all the traffic was stopped
and you were directing maximum stress and load on that
bridge, you could get overload of certain members,
that could potentially lead to
failure, state Transportation
Secretary Shailen Bhatt said
in an interview Tuesday with
The Associated Press. But you
never want to overload.

moving into Kalida?
Gerdeman said he intends to set
up a meeting with Esch, a meeting
which will include a council member, to discuss possible ways that
the wind turbine project could be
redesigned for councils consideration. Esch was not present during
Mondays meeting.
I think if they change the configuration of the turbines, relocate
them, buy some more property to
get them further out, whatever,
I think council would consider
another project, said Gerdeman.
I think we also have to get some
sort of endorsement from nearby
property owners, since there are
no hard facts about property values either way. Its not shut out.

it was founded in 1850 was shipping. At the time, the

Todays joke:
Two bats are hanging in their cave. One turns to the
other and says, Oh, Im really thirsty for some fresh
blood.
The other bat is amazed and says, Well, its a bit late.
Daylight is almost here, and we cant be exposed to any
light - you know well die. Yeah, I know, says the first
bat, but Im really starving for it.
So he flies out of the cave and returns five minutes
later with blood dripping from his mouth.
You lucky thing. Whered you find blood that quick?
asked the second bat.
You see that tree over there in the distance? mumbled the bat, his mouth full of blood.
Yeah, I think I do!
Well, I didnt.
