DELPHOS With the ensuing trifecta

of the busiest shopping days of the year
Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and
Cyber Monday beginning in just two days,
business owners and shoppers alike are preparing for the mad rush for retail bargians.
According to a new report by Bankrate.
com only 40 percent of Americans plan to
shop on Black Friday and of those shoppers,
28 percent plan to shop in a store and the
other 12 percent will shop online.
Iovation, a source for mobile and online
fraud prevention, is predicting that about 40
percent of all retail transactions from Black
Friday to Cyber Monday this year will be

made from mobile phones and tablets.

Delphos Trading Post Owners Ray and
Sami Kennedy said their online presence
includes their own retail website, Facebook
page and Ebay and Amazon retail stores.
They agreed, Cyber Monday is an exceptionally good day for sales.
In this day and age, a small business
has to have the ability to sell online, Ray
explained. Customers dont want to go out
of the house into the weather. If they can shop
from the comfort of their own home, they will
shop longer, resulting in more sales.
Westrich Furniture and Appliances
Advertising Manager Chad Rode said the
store does not do a lot of online sales and the
website is more of an research tool.

LIMA A Delphos man accused in the

shooting death of his estranged was found
competent to stand trial.
Judge David Cheney on Monday also
found Patrick Coller, 43, sane at the time he
allegedly killed his wife, 42-year-old Gerri L.
Coller. She was shot to death in a cornfield off
Jones Road on Aug. 14.
The competency issues were decided based
on a psychiatric evaluation and a finding from

a psychiatric professional.
Coller is charged aggravated murder with
a firearm and kidnapping with a firearm and
could face the death penalty.
Coller waived his right to a speedy trial
on Monday and another pretrial was set or
Dec. 17.
Patrick Coller went to the Delphos Police
Department the evening of Aug. 14 and allegedly confessed to killing his wife in the
cornfield earlier in the day. Officers took him
into custody and then he went with officers to
locate her body.

Mayor Michael Gallmeier
swore Hirn in on Friday.
I see this as an opportunity to help with council

said. I like to solve problems and Im a good facilitator. I have a lot of experience solving problems and
Id like to be a part of the
process of working some
things out for Delphos.
Hirn was chosen from a
pool of six applicants to fill

resignation of Kim Riddell.
I really felt comfortable
with him, Gallmeier said
Monday. He is young and
energetic and he will do
well in the position.
Hirn will sit on council for 13 months but must
decide well before that if
he will officially run for

OTTOVILLE - Members of the

Board of Public Affairs (BPA) Phil
Hilvers and Dan Honigford spoke to
council members Monday night during the village council meeting about
the ongoing overflows of water into
the sanitary sewer lines.
In June, Hilvers and Honigford
reported that the meter on the sewer
project had a couple of high readings
extra flow or spikes varying from
normal sanitary flow according

the Environmental Protection Agency

(EPA). In October, Water Treatment
Plant Supervisor Steve Wittler said
on Auglaize Street, nine of 12 homes
with basements are tapped into the
storm sewer.
Recently, village administration
has worked on a survey of the village
properties exploring which residence
are tapped into the sanitary line.
We surveyed the main part of
town and of the 71 homes we looked
at, 20 percent of them are tapped into
the sanitary, Hilvers said. Choice
One said we dont have storm sewers
for them to tap into.

Some may have multiple

pumps, Honigford said. It may not
be possible to get into a good storm
sewer.
Hilvers said the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) has given
us a list of things to do and getting
the sump pumps out of the sanitary is
one of them.
Another option is for the village
to build another retention pond to
stop the flow of untreated water from
going into the creek, Hilvers said.
In January, 2013 Honigford
approached council with his recommendation of increasing sewer rates

to pay for infiltration and inflow

repairs needed at the water treatment plant to be in compliance as
required by the Ohio Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA).
Our sewer account is dwindling
and we have 487 sewer/water customers, he explained. We need
to look at three possible increases:
increase readiness to serve from $12$15, raise sewer usage 25 cents per
1,000 gallon and raise the semi-annual transfer into the sewer account
from $3,000 to $4,000.

COLUMBUS In anticipation of increased

traffic during the Thanksgiving holiday, the Ohio State Highway Patrol is
reminding drivers to buckle up every
trip, every time. Properly wearing a
safety belt is the single most effective
thing you can do to protect yourself
in a crash. In addition, remember to
follow all traffic laws and not drive
impaired.
Last year during the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, 17 people were killed in 15
fatal crashes on Ohios roadways. Seven of
the 17 fatalities, 41 percent, were the result
of an impaired driver. That is why troopers will be out in full force this weekend,
looking for and removing these dangerous
drivers from our roadways.
AAA predicts more than 46 million
Americans will travel at least 50 miles from

home over the holiday. The Patrol expects

traffic to increase this afternoon and is urging
motorists to contribute to highway safety by
planning ahead for possible delays and
making safety their first priority.
Help keep the holiday safe for
you, your family and your fellow
motorists by remembering to buckle
up, obeying traffic laws and never
driving impaired, said Colonel
Paul A. Pride, Patrol superintendent. You can also help save lives
by reporting unsafe and aggressive drivers
to law enforcement.
Troopers recommend that motorists contact the Patrol by calling #677 to report
drug activity
or impaired

Today more than ever,

seniors and those with longterm care issues want to
remain living in their own
homes as they grow older.
As a caregiver, its important to understand the difference between private-duty
care and home health care
when evaluating the shortand long-term care needs of
a loved one. They are very
different and involve varying
levels of patient support.
November is National
Hospice and Home Care
Month, a time to recognize
care providers and give information about in-home care
services available locally.
Private Duty (also called
personal care or companion
care) offers a broad range of
long-term services to assist
seniors and the disabled with
their daily lives, from noninvasive medical and nursing care to help with errands,
transportation, meal preparation and companionship. The
goal is to administer whatever support a client needs to
remain independent as long as
possible in their own home.
On the other hand, Home
Health Care (or visiting nurses) is medically driven and
helps those who are recovering after a hospital or facility stay, or need additional
support to remain safely at
home and avoid unnecessary hospitalization. These
Medicare-certified services
may include short-term nursing, rehabilitative, therapeutic and assistive home health
care. This care is provided
by registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational

For this week I am going to write a diary of

Tuesday, Nov. 18.
3:25 a.m. The alarm rings and its time
to start another day. I pack my husband Joes
lunch. He doesnt eat breakfast until his first
break so I pack a ham and cheese sandwich
for that. For lunch I put in some pizza casserole, peaches, a clementine, cookies and
crackers. Then I fill his water jug with ice
cubes and water.
4 a.m. Joe leaves for work. I go back
to bed.
5 a.m. I get up again as daughters
Elizabeth, 20, and Susan, 18, are ready for
work. Son Benjamin, 15, usually leaves
around the same time as they do. Today he
doesnt have to work, as something at the
sawmill is broken down. It is 10 degrees this
morning with a wind-chill of minus 10 so I
think Benjamin is glad to stay home.
5:15 a.m. The girls leave for work at the
RV factory.
6 a.m. I check the phone for messages
and have a message that says school is cancelled for the day. There is a winter storm
warning and because the wind-chill is so cold,
it is cancelled. The children werent awake yet
so I let them sleep in.
8 a.m. Everyone is awake and we
have grilled cheese sandwiches and cereal for
breakfast.
9:30 a.m. Dishes are washed and the
morning work is done. The boys carry the
baskets of clothes up from the basement. We
washed clothes yesterday and hung the laundry on the lines in the basement. They were
dry and ready to bring up. The girls fold all
the clothes and put them away.
11:30 a.m. The boys and Lovina are out
in the field sledding down the big hill. There
isnt that much snow but enough ice to make
the sled glide down the hill.
1:30 p.m. The children are back in and
warming up. We have ham and cheese sandwiches and vegetable soup for lunch.
3 p.m. Daughters Elizabeth and Susan
are home from work.
4 p.m. Loretta, 14, and Lovina, 10,
have cleanings at the dentist so I leave with
them. After their cleanings we go to get some
groceries.
5:45 p.m. Back home. Joe came home
from work soon after we had left. Chores are
done.
6:30 p.m. The girls have supper ready,
which is fried chicken, vegetable soup, cheese
and crackers. We are also enjoying some
venison summer sausage and jerky Timothy

brought us from the deer he shot.

7:30 p.m. Dishes are washed and everyone is getting cleaned up for bed. The wind
is still very cold with the temperature never
going higher than 19 today.
9 p.m. Everyone is in bed so I think Ill
do the same. Until next week, God bless!
This week Ill share my recipe for vegetable soup. We also can some so we will have
it for a quick meal.
Vegetable Soup
1 pint canned beef chunks
1 medium yellow onion, cleaned but whole
with stem removed
2 potatoes, peeled and diced
1 cup diced carrots
1 cup diced green beans
2 cups corn kernels
2 cups green peas
4 cups tomato juice
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons ground pepper
Brown the beef chunks in a large skillet
over medium heat. Put the beef chunks and
the whole onion in a large pot and add the
remaining ingredients. Add enough water to
cover all the vegetables. Cook over medium
heat until the vegetables are soft, about 30
minutes.

Owens CC for volleyball

By JIM METCALFE
DHI Media Sports Editor
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
OTTOVILLE Many variables can go into ones choice
for college, esopecially when it comes to possibly playing a
sport at the next level.
For Ottoville senior Annie Lindeman, the one variable that
was most telling was comfort level.
That is the reason she chose to sign a national letterof-intent Monday afternoon to play volleyball for Owens
Community College and head coach Denny Caldwell.
I had a lot of college visits and hadnt made up my mind;
when I went there, I wasnt sure. Once I got there, though,
I knew this was the one, the daughter of Terry and Deb
Lindeman explained. The coaching staff just threw me into
the locker room by myself and let me figure it out for myself; I
didnt know any of the girls before but they quickly befriended
me and made me feel comfortable. I knew right then it was the
place for me; a family-type atmosphere, exactly like we have
here are Ottoville.
She was also led to the school by Ottoville assistant coach
and Guidance Counselor Michelle Leach.
She had played volleyball at Owens and got me thinking
about a community college. Up until that tuime, I was only
thinking in terms of a school Bluffton University, Marietta, all
the typical small-school colleges around here, she recalled.
The toughest part of the decision actually came from within
her own family.
Telling my mom that I was choosing volleyball over basketball was hard. She had played college basketball and I knew
she wanted me to go that way, Lindeman explained. I just
felt volleyball was the right way to go for me.
Either way, it is just such a relief to get this over with.
Lindeman noted that she will get her pre-requisites out of
the way in her two years at Owens and then go on to a 4-year
nursing degree.
Ill play two years of volleyball and then well see. If I can
go for the 4-degree after that and still play volleyball, Id love
to do that; if not, Im OK with these being my last two years of
competitive volleyball, she said. I can now focus on playing
basketball this winter and then once thats over, I can return
my focus to volleyball since I dont run track or play softball
in the spring. Instead of playing club volleyball, I will drive up
to Owens and start playing with the team.
Caldwell figured the decision to recruit Lindeman was selfevident, once he had a chance to see her in action.
Like all respective student-athletes, she filled out a form and
I then told her Id come and watch her play. What I saw was a
6-1 front-line player with good arm swing, good jumping ability
and a good serve, he said. My philosophy has been to recruit
good athletes and see where they fit at the collegiate level; it may
not always be the position they played in high school. For her, it
helps that she is a middle blocker and outside hitter; I can foresee
her at outside hitter and right-side hitter. She has the skills for it.
Plus, Michelle was a player for me and that got the ball
rolling.
In the end, though, Caldwell makes no promises.
I never promise a recruit you will play right away or at all;
it comes down to how hard you work at practice, in the weight
room, in conditioning and in preparation for matches and the
season. You earn playing time with me; its not guaranteed, he
added. Also, she will have to adjust to the speed and quickness of the game: I tell them its quicker, faster and harder at
the college level than anything youve seen before and that
doesnt happen overnight. We have six returning starters and
we have already signed four players, two of them middles; we
have two offers out. Basically, she will be competing against
11 Annie Lindemans.
We also focus on the academics; that is the most important
of all. We strive to have a very high team GPA; that is another
adjustment that I am confident she will make easily.

Bama, FSU, Oregon, Miss

St. keep playoff rankings
Associated Press
Alabama, Oregon, Florida State and
Mississippi State remained the top four teams
in the College Football Playoff rankings on
Tuesday heading into a weekend when just
about all the contenders are facing challenging rivals.
TCU was fifth, Ohio State was sixth and
Baylor seventh. The only team in the top
eight to change was UCLA, which slipped
into the eighth spot.
For the first time, teams from the so-called
Group of Five conferences made the top 25.
Boise State moved in the rankings at No. 23
and unbeaten Marshall is 24th. The highest
ranked team from outside the Big Five conferences is guaranteed one spot in the four
New Years Bowls affiliated with the playoff

but not hosting semifinals.

Alabama hosts Auburn on Saturday. Florida
State plays Florida; Oregon is at Oregon State
and Mississippi State visits Mississippi. TCU
plays at Texas on Thanksgiving night and Ohio
State hosts Michigan on Saturday. Baylor
plays Texas Tech at the Dallas Cowboys
stadium in Arlington, Texas, the site of the
national championship game.
Committee chairman Jeff Long said the
difference between Nos. 4-7 is still very close.
Long also caused a bit of a stir when on
ESPNs rankings show he mentioned how
the rankings of teams at the time they played
are factored into the committees decision.
Long has said each week the 12-member
committee starts with a clean slate and that
one weeks rankings should have no bearing
on the next.

New FDA rules OPEC at crossroads

will put calorie
counts on menus
NEW YORK (AP) These are the moments OPEC exists
for: A sharp drop in global oil prices has reduced the amount
of money OPEC countries take in by nearly $1 billion a day.
The 12-member groups purpose is to coordinate how
much oil is produced in order to keep prices high and stable
and maximize member countries revenue while making sure
global demand for oil stays strong. A steep, coordinated cut
in output could stop and possibly reverse what has been a 30
percent decline in prices over five months.
But there is widespread doubt that OPEC will be able to do
much of anything when it meets Thursday in Vienna. Either the
members wont agree to a cut, analysts say, or the cut will be
too small to influence oil prices. They could also, as in the past,
agree to lower production but then fail to stick to the target.
That could mean further declines in the price of oil, along
with fuels such as gasoline, diesel and jet fuel.
The idea that this is a cartel that places meaningful restrictions on its members behavior is fiction, says Jeff Colgan,
a political science professor at Brown Universitys Watson
Institute who studies OPEC. OPEC countries do exactly what
we would expect them to do if there were no such thing as
OPEC.
OPEC is at a crossroads. The group, which produces 30
million barrels of oil per day, one-third of global liquid fuel
demand, is facing the most pronounced decline in oil prices
since the financial crisis hit in 2008. And the world now is
drastically different. Oil production outside of OPEC is surging for the first time in a generation, boosting global oil supplies. U.S. production has surged 70 percent since 2008, adding 3.5 million barrels of oil per day. The increase itself is more
than any OPEC member produces other than Saudi Arabia.
At the same time, OPEC members around the world
those in the Middle East and North Africa, along with countries
such as Venezuela and Nigeria are undergoing wrenching
political upheaval that is putting extraordinary pressure on
government budgets. OPEC countries need oil money more
than ever, making the steep cuts in production that would be
necessary to push up prices all but impossible.
They have quite a task in front of them, says Bhushan
Bahree, senior director for OPEC and Middle East research at
the analysis firm IHS. They have to decide how much room to
make, if any, for North American supply growth.
Without a cut in output, global supply is on track to exceed
demand by 1.2 million barrels per day next year. If that comes
to pass, oil prices would almost certainly decline further. Even
a modest announced cut of 500,000 barrels per day, or adherence to current OPEC quotas, might not be enough to stop the
slide in prices.
Already, the global price of oil has fallen 30 percent since
late June, to $80 a barrel, from $115. This has been a boon for
consumers, airlines and shippers. The U.S. national average
retail price of gasoline has fallen to a four-year low of $2.81
per gallon.

WASHINGTON (AP) Whether they want to or not,

consumers will soon know how many calories they are eating when ordering off the menu at chain restaurants, picking
up prepared foods at supermarkets and even eating a tub of
popcorn at the movie theater.
The Food and Drug Administration announced longdelayed calorie labeling rules Tuesday, requiring establishments that sell prepared foods and have 20 or more
locations to post the calorie content of food clearly and
conspicuously on their menus, menu boards and displays.
Companies will have until November 2015 to comply.
The regulations will also apply to convenience stores,
bakeries, coffee shops, pizza delivery, amusement parks
and vending machines.
The idea is that people may pass on that bacon double
cheeseburger if they know it has hundreds of calories
and, in turn, restaurants may make their foods healthier to
keep calorie counts down. Beverages are included in the
rules, and alcohol will be labeled if drinks are listed on the
menu.
Americans eat and drink about one-third of their
calories away from home and people today expect clear
information about the products they consume, FDA
Commissioner Margaret Hamburg said. The effort is just
one way Americans can combat obesity, she added.
The menus and menu boards will tell diners that a
2,000-calorie diet is used as the basis for daily nutrition,
noting that individual calorie needs may vary. Additional
nutritional information beyond calories, including sodium,
fats, sugar and other items, must be available upon request.
The rules deal a blow to the grocery and convenience
store industries, which have lobbied hard to be left out since
the menu labels became law in 2010 as a part of the health
care overhaul. Even before the new rules were announced,
some Republicans in Congress had expressed concern that
they would be too burdensome for businesses.
The law came together when the restaurant industry
agreed to the labeling in an effort to dodge a growing patchwork of city and state rules. But supermarkets, convenience
stores and many other retailers that sell prepared food said
they wanted no part of it. The restaurant industry pushed
to include those outlets, as they increasingly have offered
restaurant-like service.
The FDA issued proposed rules in 2011 that included
supermarkets and convenience stores but excluded movie
theaters.
Representatives for the supermarket industry have said
it could cost them up to a billion dollars to put the labels in
place costs that would be passed on to consumers. They
said the rules could cover thousands of items in each store,
unlike restaurants, which typically have fewer items.

would certainly consider rolling it over. Thats because you
would have roughly 12 years
that the $13,000 can grow
without any income tax being
assessed against you, which is
a considerable savings.
If, in fact, you want the
money, thats a different matter, and its entirely possible
you will have to pay a rather
steep assessment in terms
of any income tax that may
be due. But if these retirement funds have up until now
incurred no tax liability, I
would continue with that for
the next 12 years.
DEAR BRUCE: I have a
question about a neighbors
tree that not only hangs way
over our property line, but
is killing my cherry tree. He
loves this tree, and he actually
had a guy come trim his side,
but not mine.
Its going to cost us about
$600 to $,1000 to have it
trimmed and hauled away. Are
we the ones who have to pay
to have this taken care of, or is
it our neighbors responsibility to pay for it? -- C.F.
DEAR C.F.: Some people
just have no sense of responsibility, but your neighbor does
have reasonability for any of
the tree that comes over on
your property. The problem is
he either has to agree to pay or
you have to sue him.
It is your job to make him
understand and accept that
reasonability. The troublesome part is youll probably
have to spend the money to
have the trimming done and
hauled away, although $600
to $1,000 seems pretty heavy.
Contact your neighbor,
explain the situation and what
his responsibilities are. He
may accept them.

DEAR BRUCE: My husband and I will soon be 66

years old. We both would like
to file for our Social Security
this year. I would like to file
on his account so I can receive
half of whatever he receives,
which will be more than I
would receive on my own
account.
Do I have to wait for my
husband to file before I can
file on his account? Or do I
file when I am eligible and
state that I want to file on his
account? I am not sure how
this works and cannot seem to
get a clear answer to this question. -- B.H.
DEAR B.H.: This is really
a question that you should ask
the Social Security office in
your area.
You will have to file on
your own account first and
then collect on his account
once you have received the
maximum under your own
account. You do not have to
wait for your husband to file
before you can file on his
account. You can file when
you are eligible, and you are
clearly eligible.
DEAR BRUCE: I just
purchased a house and am
ready to call the inspector to
make sure everything is OK
with the foundation, etc. Is it
required that I be there with
the inspector? -- Mary
DEAR MARY: It isnt
necessary for you to be there,
but I would want to be there
when the inspector makes his
run-through. Its only a matter
of an hour or two. Then you
can ask him any questions you
may feel he has neglected.
For example, if you noticed
that he did little or nothing in
terms of inspecting the basement, I would ask how come.
Be certain you find out
what has been inspected and
what hasnt, and dont pay for
the services until you have
answers. He is obligated to perform as stated in his contract.
DEAR BRUCE: Im 58
years old with no set date
for retirement. My former
employer sent me a lumpsum distribution of $13,000.
Should I ride with the amount
until retirement or roll it over
into an IRA? -- Warren
DEAR WARREN: You
havent mentioned if you need
the $13,000. If that is not
the case, then by all means I

Clandestine family affair

needs complete confession
DEAR ABBY: I recently found out my
daughter has been having an affair with her
sisters husband. This will tear our family
apart. It will also have a huge impact on my
grandchildren.
I have not yet told my wife, who will be
devastated, but Im having trouble carrying
this burden alone. I feel they should be held
accountable. Should I look the other way,
or make them responsible for their actions,
knowing the hell it will create? -- STRESSING
IN THE USA
DEAR STRESSING: What an unfortunate
mess. Please do not assume that you are
responsible for any damage that may result
from this affair. Because you know about it,
its logical to assume that its only a matter of
time until others find out what has been going
on.
Thats why you should talk to your daughter.
Tell her you know about the affair and will
now have to inform her sister, who deserves
to know that her marriage is in serious
trouble and why. If you do, it may save the
marriage.
DEAR ABBY: In the past few months I have
gone to different parties for friends from my
church group. I always go to the celebrations
eager to meet and chat with people I havent
seen in years.
However, one thing bothers me about these
get-togethers. Toward the middle of the event,
I often get approached by the host who will
ask me to assist with a certain task such as
setting up the table, clearing or even doing the
dishes. No one else is ever asked to help.
I was raised in a family that emphasized
good manners and to always be willing to
help a friend. But in these situations I feel
uncomfortable because I dont want to refuse
my host and I was invited as a guest.

Isnt it rude for a host to ask a guest to help

clean? If so, what would be the appropriate
response? -- INFRINGED UPON IN
CONNECTICUT
DEAR INFRINGED UPON: Whether
its presumptuous to ask depends upon how
close the host is to the guest being asked to
lend a hand. Some people would consider it
a compliment; however, if youre not close,
it IS presumptuous. And if you prefer not to
be recruited, all you have to say is, Id rather
not.

Sewer

(Continued from page 1)

Well take that under consideration,

Miller said. We need a report on how many
operable storm sewers we have for next
months meeting.
In October, Brian Goubeaux of Choice
One Engineering spoke with council about
the Bendele Street Storm Sewer application
made to the Ohio Public Works Commission
(OPWC) and said the grant will be for the
sum of $133,000 and the remainder of the
cost of the project, $271,826, will be in the
form of an interest-free loan.
Mayor Ron Miller announce the village
has received the grant to improve Bendele
Street and will have new drainage soon.
Fiscal Officer Jeanne Wannemacher read
a resolution to re-hire Ottovilles Village
Solicitor Theresa Von Sossan at the rate of
$75 per hour. All council members unanimously agreed to the terms.
I need a motion to transfer $50,000
from the General Fund into the Streets Fund,
which currently has $13,000, Wannemacher
explained. We can do it now rather than
later.
Council voted to go ahead with the transfer.
A dozen or so residents were on hand at
the council meeting to express their views
on the sidewalk project down Route 66 from
Sunset Drive to the library, which has been an
item at the forefront of councils agenda since
late spring.
Resident Louise Miller said that as she has
driven around, she has noticed new homes in
Lima do not have sidewalks.
They have beautiful landscapes, she
said. A slab of concrete is not going to be
attractive.
Resident Lynn Horstman said mandating a property owner to do anything to their
property should be fair to all of the towns
property owners.
No positive economic outcome; it
may deter people moving into the village,
Horstman said. Since people will have to pay
for sidewalks, their money will not be spent at
the villages businesses.

In August, council members asked the

contractors to re-bid the sidewalk installment
with the intent to install the walkway as soon
as possible In September, council members
approved moving forward with a plan to
implement new sidewalks. Last month, village residents spoke out during the council
meeting sharing their perspectives on the
plan; some were for the construction and others were against.
Council members went into executive session to discuss the sidewalk ordinance and the
resolution to build a walkway down Route 66
from Sunset Drive to the library.
After reconvening into regular session,
councilman Tony Langhals said the one thing
council should not get hung up on is the age
of the ordinance.
The first point to discuss is the residents
share of the walkway, Langhals said. We
prefer to charge residents 70 percent rather
than 100 percent. We want to be homeowner
friendly.
Councilmen Jerry Markward and Carl
Byrne agreed.
The ordinance should state which sidewalks should be done and at what point,
Langhals said. We need to start somewhere.
Langhals said the third point is determining if both the resident with the walkway on
their property and the adjacent resident across
the street should share the cost (35 percent
each).
Ohio Revised Code (ORC) gives us the
liberty to do that, he stated.
I dont think its right to do that, Byrne
said.
Councilman Randy Altenburger said as
council proceeds, they have to look at the
walkways and if its feasible, walks can be put
on both sides of the street.
Bus stops will be looked at differently,
he said. Well set a precedent if homeowners
pay 70 percent.
Langhals said in some areas theres not
a way to put a sidewalk on both sides of the
road and he like the shared costs in that situation.
Councilman Darren Leis said on this project (Sunset to the library), it should be shared

by both sides.
Council member Karen Hoersten said she
believes the homeowner that have the walk
on their property should pay 70 percent.
Langhals said the fourth point to discuss
about the Route 66 project is the placement of
concrete through the hardware stores stone
parking lot.
It doesnt make sense to invite traffic onto
concrete walks, he said.
If we dont run concrete walk through
stone drives, which get muddy when it rains,
pedestrians may go across the street to walk,
Byrne said.
Can they be built well enough to withstand the traffic? Hoersten asked.
The specifications are for six-inch thick
walks and I think it can be done, Langhals
said.
Good points on both perceptions,
Altenburger said.
If we pour the walks through the hardware store drive, well have to do the same
thing at the mill,Leis said.
Odenwellers will have much more heavy
truck traffic and there once was a sidewalk
that ran through that drive, Miller said.
There should be sufficient stone in
the drive and we should not run concrete,
Markward said.
Langhals said it was important to leave the
language in the documentation to charge both
sides/residents and/or give council the option
to charge both sides/residents.
Within 60 days of a reasonably agreed
time, just in case residents cant do anything
until spring, Markward said. Can we give
them an extension?
The ordinance is forever until it is
changed, Von Sossan said. The resolution
is just for the Route 66 project.
We need to agree to work on an ordinance and come prepared next meeting to
discuss the ordinance, Langhals said. I feel
council has tried to do this right with two
regular meetings and two special meetings.
He said he was sorry if its been misconstrued but confident that was the area where
council needed to start.

Hardware Store Manger Jeff Fritz

said. We have more foot traffic in
the store on Saturdays and get a few
online orders here and there, Fritz
said.
The Kennedys said they used all
of their marketing avenues and their
sales surged earlier this year, pushing the business to hit quotas earlier.
By being open Black Friday,
Small Business Saturday and staying
open later in the evenings, we know
we will see an escalation in holiday
sales,Sami said.
Rode said the store is always
very busy and will see an escalation
in foot traffic in the store, as well as

Award

(Continued from page 1)

The Preservation Merit

Award is for preserving
Ohios prehistory, history, architecture, or culture.
Eligible activities include,
but are not limited to, restoring, rehabilitating, or otherwise preserving an important
building or site, longtime
stewardship of a property,
promoting protective legislation, funding preservation
projects, offering leadership,
support or service, and furthering preservation at the
local, regional, or state level.
The association was nominated for the award by Julia
Wiley, who grew up in the
village and became a member
of the Fort Jennings Historical
Society
Memorial Hall was built in
1916 in memory of Lieutenant
Colonel William Jennings,
who in 1812 established a fort
at the site and built with funds
from the original Jennings
Memorial
Association,
Jennings Township trustees and the Village of Fort
Jennings. The property was
donated with the stipulation
that it always be used as a
war memorial. For decades
the hall served as a meeting
place for village council and
American Legion meetings,
the Fort Jennings Library
and a museum of local relics
until 1986 when maintenance
became too prohibitive.
Up until 2011, the hall sat
vacant and unused for five

they have it for the holidays, Rode
said. We have stocked up for Black
Friday and Small Business Saturday.
Customers can take advantage of
having the stock on hand for timely
delivery in a week or so.
Gerdeman said sales on Black
Friday and Small Business Saturday
in 2013 where a little better than
2012 but in general he didnt see a
big jump in sales.
We expect about the amount
of sales as in previous years,
Gerdeman said. We have the most

years.
When the village began
planning for their 2012
Bicentennial celebration in
2010 a planning committee
was formed. When discussion started about using the
Memorial Hall as part of the
celebration Dr. Klir noted
the building was very close
to being torn down by the
township trustees. A group of
nearly 20 people began meeting and formed the Jennings
Memorial Association with
the goal of making the building usable for the bicentennial and bringing it back to
its original use. At that time,
razing the building would
cost close to $125,000 and
members of the association
believed that action would
send a negative message to
veterans.
There were also significant contributions of time and
resources donated by community businesses and volunteers.
These included slate roof work,
insulation, and the heating and
air conditioning systems.
The floors and woodwork
were sanded and refinished
and the walls painted. Every
large window in the hall was
removed, repaired, and re-set
in place. The ceiling of the
large second floor hall was
returned to original condition, and the walls repaired
and painted. The work was
ultimately completed on time
for the War of 1812 bicentennial and re-dedication of the
memorial.

morning. I feel that people are shopping the big retail stores in the morning and then they shop us that afternoon and the following morning.
Its important shoppers know
the store is open so they can find
what they want before other people
purchase it. We always offer deep
pocket discounts, Sami said. Now
through December 20, we are offering a flat 10-20 percent on various
items and 5-15 percent on guns and
ammo.
We want to encourage as many
people to shop and support downtown businesses as we can, Maag
said. Our store has many one-ofa-kind items; inventory thats much
different than any big box store.
