A Delphos couple lost their home on West Third Street after a three-alarm blaze Friday morning.
Delphos Fire and Rescue was called to a home of Dave and Pam Rowland at 405 W. Third St. at
approximately 9:48 a.m. Dave Rowland told firefighters he had started cooking bacon, went outside
to smoke a cigarette and when he returned, the entire kitchen was engulfed in flames. Firefighters
focused on keeping the fire contained to the property so the home next door was spared. It did
sustain heat and smoke damage and those homeowners were displaced also. Middle Point responded
with a fire engine and American Township was called for its ladder truck. Twenty-seven firefighters
and three EMS responded to the scene. Delphos was back on station at 1:50 p.m. but were called
back to the Rowland home when the fire rekindled at 2:57 p.m. and firefighters were at the scene
until 3:42 p.m. The Delphos Public Library is a drop-off site for clothing donations for the Rowlands.

Joyeux Nol!
Second year French students at St. Johns High School are celebrating
Christmas with a French flare. After learning about Christmas traditions in
France, they are trying them out for themselves. During a school Mass on
Wednesday, they performed a traditional carol Un Flambeau, Jeannette
Isabelle or Bring a Torch, Jeannette Isabella. There was also a day of
sharing bches de Nol, or yule log cakes, a must-have dessert at every
French Christmas gathering. Above: Singing the French Christmas carol are,

WASHINGTON (AP) In
July 2004, despite growing internal concerns about the CIAs
brutal interrogation methods,
senior members of George W.
Bushs national security team
gave the agency permission to
employ the harsh tactics against
an al-Qaida facilitator the
agency suspected was linked to
a plot to disrupt the upcoming
presidential election.
After weeks of torture that
included being subjected to
prolonged stress positions and
sleep deprivation at a secret site
in Romania, the prisoner, Janat
Gul, begged to be killed. But he
steadfastly denied knowledge
of any plot, CIA records show
leading interrogators to
conclude he was not the hardened terrorist they thought he
was, and that the informant who
fingered him was a liar.

Green or white?
As I sit here at my desk, the
Internet is full of talk about
the possibility of a green
Christmas or maybe a white
one. The weather-watchers are
tracking that fiendish flurry
of precipitation that is headed
this way around Dec. 24.
One team claims they are
sure the big storm will bring
us snow while the other team,
the ones wearing the Hawaiian shirts, says you can keep
the snow shovel in mothballs
for a while yet. I dont know
which one is right, but I figure
one side will win.
But to tell you the truth, it
really doesnt matter much.
Oh sure, it matters if youre
the one driving across the state
or if you have the responsibility of keeping the sidewalks
snow-free. But it doesnt really
matter. We have white Christmases and green ones. Its not
a requirement to have a white
Christmas.
I realize thats near heresy
for Christmas-lovers. After
all, all the songs talk about
snow and sleighs and chilly
things. Doesnt Christmas require snow? Of course not!
Think about it! You see, we

Enough is enough
My, how things can change
quickly. Friday morning
I was thinking how much I
enjoy the last day of school
before Christmas break.
Franklin Elementary holds
its annual Teddy Bear program and its just so much fun
watching those kids choose
their prize when their names
are drawn.
I usually arrive a few minutes early and sneak into the
gym and take in all the soft,
fuzzy, stuffed animals the
community donates for the
cause. I still have a soft spot
for a good, fluffy, stuffed animal.
What amazes me is that
hundreds of dollars are generated for the Teddy Bear Fund
to purchase stuffed animals
for children who find themselves in the emergency room
and/or hospital. It gives them
something to hug, hold and
talk to if they are frightened.
My son received four such
bears after as many trips to
the hospital with pneumonia when he was young. We
passed on the fifth trip. I told

YOUR OPINIONS
Santa Couple appreciates new roof
To the editor,
We would like to thank the Secret Santa who left an envelope in our mailbox containing a letter of appreciation and a
donation toward the power bill we have had over the last 40plus years of our light display.
Starting with just a Nativity scene, our display has gown
over the years. Larry is already working on one of his new
creations for next year.
We will continue each year as long as the good Lord allows.
We enjoy doing it as much as we hope you do viewing it.

To the editor,
We would like to say a big thank you Carol Hennis and
the area churches that were able to give us a new roof on our
home. No amount of thank yous could make you understand
just how grateful we are for your love, kindness and generosity. Our family was in need of desperate repairs and had no
means to complete them. Just when we were feeling helpless,
you stepped in and took action to help us. You have shown the
true spirit of Christmas and your good deed will never be forgotten or taken lightly. Once again thank you so very much and
a very merry Christmas to all of you!

Make the

McNutt
creasing the horizon, she suddenly said, Im tired, lets go
now. We drove in silence to
the address she had given me.
It was a low building, like a
small convalescent home.
As we pulled up, two orderlies came out to the cab. They
watched her every move. They
must have been expecting her.
I opened the trunk and took
her small suitcase to the door.
As the orderlies brought the
woman to the door in a wheelchair, she asked how much she
owed me for the ride. I told her
nothing. She persisted but I
would not take her money.
Without thinking, I bent
and gave her a hug. She held
onto me for the longest time
and I heard her say, You gave
an old woman a little moment
of joy. Thank you.
As I walked into the dim
morning light, the door shut
behind me. It was the sound
of the closing of a life. I didnt
pick up any more passengers
that shift. I drove aimlessly,
lost in thought. I couldnt talk
to anyone the rest of the day.
What if that woman had
gotten an angry driver? What
if I had refused to take the run,
or had driven away?
As time goes by, and I
recall that morning, I dont
think that I have done anything more important in my
life. It wasnt a great moment,
but that small moment was
beautifully wrapped.
Maybe you will receive
such a gift this holiday season.
******
AND FINALLY, as you
gather with your friends and
families the next 10 days, remember our men and women
on duty around the world. Remember their families who
celebrate the holidays praying
for their safety.

WWI soldiers defy orders for Christmas truces 100 years ago
BY KIRK DOUGAL
DHI Media Group Publisher
kdougal@timesbulletin.com
World War I was still short of
five months old and already hundreds of thousands of men had
died on the battlefields. Old military leaders who still used tactics
from the Napoleonic Wars had not
adapted to better rifles and more accurate ammunition. New weapons
such as tanks and airplanes would
make their mark felt in the battles
and a new term - trench warfare would make its debut and reveal the
bloody, deadly side of war.
Soon after the start of conflicts
in July of 1914, German forces attacked through Belgium and on
into France, only stopped on the
verge of overtaking Paris by a combined French and British effort at
the Battle of Marne. The Germans
retreated as far as the Aisne valley
where they dug in, fortifying their
positions with long trenches to protect their soldiers.
With both sides at a stalemate,
they spent weeks performing flanking maneuvers to the north, each side
trying to leapfrog past the other into
a better position. This famous Race
to the Sea eventually ended in another standoff with both sides staring across deadly open ground hundreds of miles long.
Progress was marked by feet
gained each day. Thousands of lives
were given up per inch and yet both
sides appeared able - and willing - to
hold out forever, killing each other
while waiting for the other side to
crack.
By early December, Pope Benedict XV begged both sides to agree
to a truce. Barring a permanent
ceasefire, he asked they at least agree
to a truce on Christmas, so the guns
may fall silent at least upon the night
the angels sang. Both sides immediately denied the request.
But as the end of the year approached, the lower rung officers and
soldiers on the lines understood the
need for some interaction between
the combatants. A lieutenant in the
British Queens Westminster Rifles,

Bread For the Poor
Jacob Miller informs us
that on Christmas morning he
will give three loaves of bread
to every poor family in this
town. The heads of families
may call themselves, or send
their children to his grocery
on North Washington street.
This is a good example in true
charity. Let others follow it. Van Wert Bulletin.

Dont Hurry So
Stop a minute.
Dont hurry so. Move slower; it may be you will go surer.
Grind, grind, grind, one everlasting grind, from five in the

of 200 miles.
Such advances as the French
and British made in the past two
days represent only a few hundred yards, but the significance of
the successes is that the captured
lines were extraordinarily strong
and prepared with the scientific
thoroughness characteristic of the
German field works. Similar gains
have been made for the past ten
days, and the only conclusion to
be drawn form the official reports
is that the Germans are slowly
but surely being uprooted in West
Flanders, in northern France, along
the Champagne hills, and in the
Argonne.

Jays
(From page 9)
He should know Coach Elwer
picked up his 100th career victory at St.
Johns as he is three games into his 8th
season at the school.
We played the game that Fort Recovery wanted us to a tough, physical
MAC contest that our guys stepped up
to and came away with the win, Elwer
commented. The important thing is that
we are 3-0 to start the season and more
importantly, 1-0 in our tough league.
Andy Grothouse got the Jays scoring underway in the first quarter with a
3-pointer. After a bucket by Darien Sheffer for the Indians, Alex Odenweller picked
right up where he left off after the Elida
game with a 3-pointer for the Jays. Austin
Heiing found the bucket from the paint and
Fort Recovery coach Chris Guggenbiller
called time to slow the Blue Jay attack.
The Indians Brandon Schoen responded with a triple, but St. Johns went on a 7-0
run, highlighted by another Odenweller
bomb and a drive by Grothouse as the Jays
led 15-5 after the first eight minutes.

(From page 9)
We knew they were going
to sit in a zone; they were going to pack it in because we
really havent made a lot of
outside shots (this season),
Hammons added. We chose
to chuck it from the outside
and, unfortunately, at the beginning of the game, they
didnt fall. In the second and
third quarters, we were able
to knock some down and get
some confidence.
Though he picked up his
third and fourth fouls in the
period, Adams used what
little time he had on the
court to rack up six third-period points. As the clock was
winding down, Austin Leeth
lobbed a ball toward the net,
finding Ludwig on a back cut
for an easy lay in and a 56-30
Lancer lead.
Not only were the Lancers scorching from the field,
but they were building quite
an advantage on the glass as
well. Lincolnview led 25-11 in
rebounds through three quarters and posted a 33-16 edge
for the game.

A champagne lunch
Dear Readers: A few
months ago, I spoke at the sisterhood luncheon at Agudas
Achim Synagogue in San Antonio. Proceeds from the event
went to the Humane Society
here, where we adopted our
new dog last year. Champagne
(Chammy, Cham, Chim,
Cham Cham and Chaminator)
was just the right dog to help
mend our hearts after having
to send Cabbie to doggie Valhalla just a month before.
My husband and I learned
through the years that our
home is not complete without a furry, funny, cold-nosed
cuddle charmer to share our
space. The group also worked
with the Humane Society to
bring some young puppies to
the location and have them
available for hugs and adoption. It was very tempting to
go home with a new playmate
for Cham, but we want her to
feel secure in her home before adding another dog.
The members also brought
dog food to donate to the
cause. Chammy came to liven
up the event, and boy, did she!

This year, as well as last
year, Brad Hoenbrink restored
and tested 17 used Christmas
trees and donated new lights
and ornaments to accompany
the tree.
All remaining funds will
be used for larger item purchases like; beds, mattresses,
box springs, frames and bedding; large appliances; baby
cribs; bedroom furniture; and
gift cards.

of the cut end of the tree trunk during the display period. As a general rule, a stand should
provide 1 quart of water per inch of trunk diameter to get the tree through each day. You
should expect the tree to take up water rapidly
at first if it is not a freshly cut tree. Water the
tree frequently until water uptake slows, then
continue to maintain the water level in the
stand through the season. For easier watering,
buy a funnel and a three to four foot tube. Slip
the tube over the funnel tip, extend the tubing
down into the tree stand, and water through the
funnel and tube. Hide the funnel and tube in an

tap water. Commercially prepared mixes like
aspirin, sugar and other additives to introduce
into the water are not necessary. Research has
shown that plain tap water will keep a tree
fresh. The temperature of the water used to fill
the stand is not important and does not affect
water uptake.
Another step you should take to protect the
freshness of your Christmas tree is to avoid
placing the tree near any kind of heat source
like a fireplace, heat register, heater, or in front
of windows through which the sun shines.
Lowering the temperature of the room in
which the tree is displayed will slow the drying process, resulting in less water consumption each day. Running a humidifier in the
room may also slow the rate at which water
evaporates from the tree.
Take down the tree before it dries out. Many
fresh-cut trees, if properly cared for, should
last at least five weeks before completely drying out. Some species of evergreen trees keep

Ultimately water is everything to maintaining a fresh-cut Christmas tree. Doing whatever
you can do to prevent a tree from losing excessive amounts of water is the goal from the time
that the tree is cut through the end of its display period. One has the greatest control over
water loss and water replacement when the
tree is cut at the time of purchase. However,
many will be buying trees that were cut in other states and hauled to a retailer from whom it
is purchased at a tree lot. Thus, many of these
trees were probably cut sometime in November, baled in a string mess and shipped to the
point of sale. If this is the type of tree that you
have purchased, the first thing that you need
to do is get the tree into water to start replacing water that was already lost. But before you
put the tree into the water, the cut end of the
tree will have to be refreshed by cutting a 1/2
inch to 1 inch thick wafer off the bottom of the
tree trunk. This action removes the ends of the
water conduction tubes of the tree that were
clogged with resins that were released by the
tree when it was originally cut, exposed to the
air and left to dry. Make the cut straight across
the width of the trunk. Dont cut the trunk at
an angle, or into a v-shape, which makes it far
more difficult to hold the tree in the stand and
also reduces the amount of water available to
the tree. Once the cut is made, dont bruise
the cut surface or get it dirty by banging it on
the ground. Without cutting the end off of the
trunk, the tree might not be able to absorb water again and the tree will quickly dry out even
with the end of the trunk in a reservoir of water. Drilling holes into the base of the tree does
little to help water absorption.
If needed, a tree can be temporarily stored
for several days in a cool location (an unheated garage, shed or enclosed porch). Place the
freshly cut trunk in a bucket that is kept full
of water.
The next important step in maintaining the
freshness of your tree is to have a good tree
stand with a water reservoir into which the
trunk of the tree easily fits. A mistake that
some people make is shaving the bark and
outer wood off the tree trunk to get it to fit into
the stand. Unfortunately, this action damages
the most active and efficient water conduction
tubes of the tree reducing the ability of the tree
to absorb water. Once the tree is in the water
reservoir of the stand, make sure that the reservoir never runs dry and/or that the water level
in the reservoir never falls below the bottom
