City council vote to reinstate pay fails

BY NANCY SPENCER
DHI Media Editor
nspencer@[Link]
DELPHOS Salaried Delphos City
workers will stay on the reduced pay amount
they have been receiving for the past 15
months after council failed to pass an ordinance reinstating their regular pay Monday.
Because language in the ordinance declared
it an emergency, five of the six attending
councilman had to vote for the measure. It
garnered only four with Josh Gillespie and
Andy Knueve casting the dissenting votes.
Joe Martz was absent.
Gillespie and Knueve said they both felt
spending the money to reinstate the salaries

of the administration and department heads

was premature.
I just want everyone to realize that we are
looking at this without having a 2015 Budget
in place, Gillespie said prior to the vote. I
have met with them all and looked at their
budgets but you guys havent seen them yet.
They look OK but I dont want you to vote
for this and then say I said it was OK. Im just
telling you what I know right now.
Hourly workers went back to a 40-hour
week last week after 15 months of a threehour weekly furlough. That was an administrative decision. An ordinance was needed to
reduce the salaried workers pay; one is also
needed to reinstate it.
Mayor Michael Gallmeier asked to poll the

two no voters.
I just think its premature without everyone looking at the 2015 numbers, Gillespie
reiterated.
Knueve said he couldnt justify spending
the funds at his time.
With the hourly employees back to full
time, I cant tell citizens that spending this
money will get more work done, he said.
Gallmeier said he was concerned because
the department heads were also compensating
for the reduction in the citys workforce as
well as seeing a lesser salary then they were
promised when hired.
Poggemeyer Design Group Engineer Mike
Atherine outlined the process he, the administration and wastewater treatment plant workers fin-

ished on proposed solutions for issues at the plant.

Fibracast of Canada has been chosen to run
a test pilot of their membranes at the Delphos
plant. The city has struggled with current membranes from OVIVO with fouling and failing.
The new membrane technology takes up about
of third of the space and will allow the plant to
move up to full capacity without installing any
new trains, which hold the membranes.
Fibracasts proposal includes new blowers,
new permeate pumps and a one-train pilot for
a year with the $600,000 payment of the $1.5
million for the equipment delayed one year.
They will also provide an on-site staff member for one year during the pilot study.

LIMA The Allen County Board of Developmental

Disabilities (ACBDD) offers a free disability awareness
program called A.P.P.L.E. (Abilities Plus Potential Leads to
Excellence), where members of the organization visit schools,
community and service groups, churches or businesses with
custom-designed ability awareness presentations and shows
for all age groups.
In recognition of National Play Therapy Week Feb. 1-7,
licensed mental health professionals throughout the United
States are reminding the public of the value of play, Play
Therapy and Registered Play Therapists.
According to the Association for Play Therapy (APT), play
is our (the humans) first language and just as adults use words
to communicate, children use play to express thoughts and
feelings that might otherwise remain hidden.

SPENCERVILLE

Village
Administrator Sean Chapman spoke with
council members and announced the
Safe Routes to School (SRTS) project is
moving forward during Monday nights
meeting.
I spoke with an Ohio Department of
Transportation (ODOT) representative
about the Safe Routes to School project, which consists of new sidewalks
on East Second Street from Elizabeth
Street to the east dead end (only where
sidewalk does not currently exist),
Chapman said. The project is moving
forward now that the funding issue has
been resolved.
The projects engineer is currently
working on the Stage 3 (final submittal) plans and all environmental
reviews have passed through ODOT
with no major concerns. The project
is slated for 2016 and the villages
required match of $20,000 will be due
sometime in 2015.
Once the project has been completed, we will still need to perform
various tasks such as encouraging the
students to walk and bike to school,
Chapman said. This will be a collaborative effort between the village utilities
and police and the school, as well as
certain county organizations.
Legislation slated on the agenda was
tabled due to the absence of three council

members: Greg Hover, Phil Briggs and

John Miller.
The council members present did pass
the motion to pay the villages bills in
the sum of $14,797.
Mayor P. J. Johnson and Chapman
wanted to remind residents to remove
their trash and recycle containers from
the street as soon as they could after
trash and recycle pickup.
The last few snow events have happened during the villages trash and recycle collection, Chapman said. Some
containers are still sitting at the street
and they need to be moved away from
the right of way.
He said some customers will receive
an estimated water bill this month due to
the most recent snow event.
We tried to work ahead of the storm
last Friday and read as many meters as
we could, Chapman explained. We
read 80 percent of the meters leaving 20
percent who will be receiving an estimated bill.
Chapman said any questions about
billing should be directed to the utilities
department as soon as possible.
Johnson said the village is a member
of the Allen Economic Development
Group and pays $1,000 per year.
They help facilitate making it easier for people to find our businesses,
Johnson explained. The groups operational costs have increased and our fees may
be going up.

Hunters check
more than
175,000 deer
INFORMATION
SUBMITTED

COLUMBUS - Ohios
white-tailed deer archery season closed Sunday marking
the end of Ohios 2014-15
deer hunting season. Across
the state, hunters checked a
total of 175,745 deer during
all 2014-15 hunting seasons.
In the last few years,
through increased deer harvests, dramatic strides have
been made in many counties
to approach acceptable populations. The effectiveness of
these management efforts are
reflected in the decreased number of deer checked this season.
During the 2013-14 hunting
season, Ohio hunters checked
191,455 deer. Bag limits were
reduced in 46 counties prior
to the 2014-15 deer hunting
season, and antlerless permits
were eliminated in 29 counties.
Deer population goals
will be revised this summer through a random survey of hunters and farmers.
Participants in the survey will
have the opportunity to provide input about the future of
deer management in Ohio.
The Ohio counties that
reported the most checked
deer for all implements
during the 2014-2015 season:
Coshocton (5,727), Licking
(5,281), Tuscarawas (4,883),
Muskingum (4,748), Ashtabula
(4,418), Knox (4,191), Guernsey
(4,181), Holmes (3,625),
Harrison (3,448) and Carroll
(3,406). Coshocton County also
reported the most deer harvested
in 2013-14 (6,270).
Ohio ranks fifth nationally
in resident hunters and 11th
in the number of jobs associated with hunting-related
industries. Hunting has a more
than $853 million economic
impact in Ohio through the
sale of equipment, fuel, food,
lodging and more, according to
the National Shooting Sports
Foundations Hunting in
America: An Economic Force
for Conservation publication.
The ODNR Division of
Wildlife remains committed to
properly managing Ohios deer
populations through a combination of regulatory and programmatic changes. The goal
of Ohios Deer Management
Program is to provide a deer
population that maximizes recreational opportunities, while
minimizing conflicts with
landowners and motorists.
This ensures that Ohios deer
herd is maintained at a level
that is both acceptable to most,
and biologically sound.

COLUMBUS Regardless of what the groundhog

says, Ohio remains smack dab in the middle of winter,
and motorists tires are getting the brunt of the snow and
ice. Having adequate tread depth, proper tire pressure
and a sense about navigating rough road conditions can
help keep motorists safe on winter roads.
In a recent nationwide survey of AAA Approved
Auto Repair shops, 78 percent of shops said motorists
frequently skip out on tire maintenance. This leads to
an increased number of tire-related issues during winter
weather.
Tire Pressure:
Properly inflated tires give motorists the best performance during winter driving conditions. Cold weather
causes tire pressure to decrease - sometimes to the
point that a vehicles Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) warning icon illuminates. If this occurs, motorists should bring their vehicle to a professional technician
for inspection.
Make sure you ask if all tires were low or just one,
said Mark Boyer, director Car Care Plus for AAA Ohio
Auto Club. All tires low could possibly mean the cold
weather was the culprit. If just one is low it could mean
you have a slow leak and further inspection is required.
Motorists should check the pressure on all tires,
including the spare, at least once a month, when the tires
are cold. Refer to the pressure levels indicated on the
decal inside the drivers side door, not stamped on the
tires.
Tread Depth:
Tire treads help tires grip the roads during slippery
conditions. Tire wear bars can help determine a tires
condition. If any wear bars are showing, the tire should
be replaced. Motorists should also look for uneven wear,
as this could be a sign of misalignment.
For snowy roads, make sure you have good tread on
all four tires, but especially your drive tires, said Boyer.
Road Conditions:
Driving over potholes can severely damage tires,
wheels and suspension parts. Damage can be instantaneous or cumulative. Motorists should take their vehicle
to a certified technician if they notice:
New noises or vibrations: Hitting a large pothole
can dislodge wheel weights, damage a tire or wheel, or
bend or break suspension components. Motorists should
be able to hear or feel these issues if they are paying
attention.
A flat tire: This could be instantaneous, and would
warrant a roadside assistance call.
Alignment issues: These would be apparent if a
motorist notices the vehicle pulling to the left or right.
Driving through slush and snow can also lead to balance issues, which causes vibrations. This occurs when
the snow or slush freezes to the wheel or tire.
When in doubt, motorists should seek professional
help. A list of central Ohio AAA Car Care Plus facilities
and AAA Approved Auto Repair facilities can be found
at [Link]/Repair.
As North Americas largest motoring and leisure
travel organization, AAA provides more than 54 million

INFORMATION SUBMITTED
COLUMBUS Lieutenant Governor and
Insurance Director Mary Taylor announced
the Ohio Department of Insurance helped Ohio
consumers save or recover $24.5 million in
2014 while assisting nearly 230,000 Ohioans
mainly through its toll-free hotlines, community outreach efforts and counseling sessions.
Over the past four years, the Department has
saved or recovered $84 million (2011- $11.6
million, 2012 - $24.4 million, 2013 - $23.5
million, 2014 - $24.5 million) for
Ohioans.
Taylor also said denial of
claim/adverse benefit determination was the top complaint reason
the Department received in 2014.
Health insurance was the type of
coverage consumers most complained about.
Protecting consumers while
helping Ohioans better understand
their insurance coverage is one of our top
priorities, Taylor said. We want Ohioans to
know they can turn to the Ohio Department
of Insurance for free assistance when evaluating the different coverage options available
to them. They can also file insurance-related
complaints that we will investigate on their
behalf.
The Departments savings and recovery
figure for 2014 includes a new program
record $18 million by its Ohio Senior Health
Insurance Information Program (OSHIIP) and
$6.5 million from its Office of Consumer
Affairs, which addresses non-Medicare insurance matters.
The following lists show the top types of
consumer complaints in 2014 for Ohio from
the total of 6,450 received by the Departments
Office of Consumers Affairs. The national
information is closed complaint data as of
Dec. 29, 2014, provided by the National

Insurance Claim Tips:
Know Your Policy: Your policy
is a contract between you and your insurance company. Know whats covered, whats
excluded and deductible amounts.
File Claims as Soon as Possible: Call your
agent or your companys claims hotline right
away.
Provide Complete, Correct Information:
Incorrect or incomplete information can cause
a delay in processing your claim.
Ask Questions: If there is a disagreement
about the claim settlement, ask the company
for the specific language in the policy that is
in question. Determine if the disagreement is
because you and the insurance company interpret your policy differently. If this disagreement results in a claim denial, make sure you
obtain a written letter explaining the reason
for the denial and the specific policy language
under which the claim is being denied.
Do not Rush into a Settlement: If the first
offer made by an insurance company does
not meet your expectations, be prepared to
negotiate to get a fair settlement. If you have
any questions regarding the fairness of your
settlement, seek professional advice.
Health Claims: Ask your physician to provide your insurance company with details
about your treatment, medical conditions and
prognosis. If you suspect a provider is overcharging, ask the insurance company to audit
the bill and verify whether the provider used
the proper billing procedure.
Ohio consumers who would like to file a
complaint or have insurance questions can
call the Departments consumer hotline at
800-686-1526 or visit [Link].

The Next Generation

From the Vantage Point

Vantage to host open house Monday

INFORMATION SUBMITTED

VAN WERT At Vantage Career

Center, students find the best of both
worlds. They receive a first-class career
technical education while meeting all
of the academic requirements for high
school graduation. In addition to trade and
industry programs and business programs,
Vantage also offers specialized programs
in service careers described below.
Due to the tremendous advances in the
medical field, outstanding career opportunities are available to students in our
health technology program. Many health
care workers provide basic bedside care
and take vital signs such as temperature,
blood pressure, pulse and respiration. They
may also prepare and give injections, collect samples for testing, feed patients and
assist with bathing and personal hygiene.
Students complete a State Approved Nurse
Assistant Program (STNA) and learn
medical terminology, medical insurance
and computer skills. Health technology students assist at the annual Vantage
Bloodmobile and the United Way Day of
Caring Bloodmobile. They learn a wide
range of medical techniques through clinical instruction at healthcare facilities and
extensive job-shadowing opportunities. In
this program, they develop work ethics,
medical skills, and patient care skills.
In the early childhood education program, high school students discover that
working with young children can be very
rewarding. This program prepares students
to teach young children, work in a licensed
child care facility, operate a day care center or become a nanny. Students create
and provide developmentally-appropriate
preschool materials for children, learn the
day-to-day operations of a state-licensed
preschool and explore careers that deal
with the education of young children. In
addition to receiving instruction in planning and conducting lessons, the students
apply principles of child development
and child psychology as they prepare the
children for kindergarten. Upon completion, students are prepared for college and
immediate employment in the childcare
field.
The culinary arts program is the starting line for many students who are interested in careers in restaurant services

completion of their CPR unit. (Submitted photo)
and hospitality management. Students in
this program operate the Cup and Saucer
Restaurant, a full-service restaurant located at Vantage, which is open to the public
three days a week throughout the school
year. This two-year program is also the
foundation for students who plan to pursue
further education for chef training or food
service management. Students have the
opportunity to become Serve-Safe certified and to receive the ProStart Certificate
of Achievement. After graduation, students are prepared for professional culinary programs, immediate employment
and further education.
Avantage (French for new beginnings) is the name of the Vantage
Cosmetology Salon, a fully-certified and
licensed program by the state of Ohio and
open to the public three mornings a week
throughout the school year. Students create, cut, style, color and recommend hair
designs for clients. They use advanced
techniques to deliver a wide-range of skin
care and nail treatments while experiencing a full-service salon environment. After
successful completion of the program at
Vantage and achieving the requirements
of the state board of cosmetology, they
are eligible to take the state cosmetology
examination and become a licensed cosmetologist shortly after graduation. They
will be prepared for immediate employment in a salon/day spa, advanced licensing and further education.
If you are interested in finding out
about career opportunities in any of these

fields or have questions about the service

programs at Vantage, please call Mike
Knott, Student Services Supervisor at 419238-5411 or 1-800-686-3944, ext. 2032,
or email him at knott.m@[Link].
The annual Open House will be held
from 5-7:30 p.m. Monday. If you havent
been to the new school yet, this is your
chance! Tour the building, see the labs,
check out the new equipment and talk
to the staff and students. If you have a
sophomore whos interested in attending
Vantage, there will be a Parent/Student
Info Session in the Community Room at
6 p.m. to help answer questions you may
have. Interested in going back to school
yourself? Adult Education/Ohio Technical
Center representatives will also be available to answer questions about Vantage

Greetings from cold, sunny Michigan! I

have ham bones in the pressure cooker. I want
to make ham and beans for supper tonight.
Our pork is almost all pressure canned or
in the freezer. We still want to smoke 100
pounds of summer sausage using hamburger
and sausage.
The vegetable soup we canned last week
totaled 30 quarts. I make it thick so that more
tomato juice can be added to the soup at the
point you open a quart if preferred.
Our freezers are filled beyond capacity.
We ended up putting some meat in Timothys
freezer for now.
Saturday we will help Jacob and Emma
butcher pork. Then we should be done with
that for another year. Its a lot of work but well
worth it once its in the freezer.
On Friday, my brother Amos was working
with his construction crew. He was found outside, lying down. They called an ambulance.
He was taken to the nearest hospital, where
the doctors think he had a mini-stroke and a
bad ear infection, causing dizziness, vomiting,
etc. He still is almost too weak to walk but
was released to travel home, about three-anda-half hours away.
It was two years ago in January when
Amos was also taken to the hospital by ambulance after being in a van accident on his way
to work. They hit black ice, causing the van
to roll numerous times and taking the lives
of two of my cousins, Dan Graber and Chris
Eicher. The Michigan hospital Amos was in
this time is two hours from here. Jacob, sister
Emma, sisters Verena and Susan, Joe, and I
went to visit with Amos at the hospital Friday
evening. Amoss wife Nancy and children,
and all their married children were at the hospital too. It was a long drive for them.
Saturday visitors here were sister Liz, Levi,
Levi Jr., Rosa and Suzanne, and their married
daughter Elizabeth with husband Samuel.
They spent the night with sisters Verena and
Susan. Rosa and Suzanne were going to spend
the night here with my daughters Verena and

Lady Green downs Dawgs,

extends winning streak to 6
By JIM METCALFE
DHI Media Sports Editor

ELIDA The girls basketball tournament draw is
Sunday, so this week is a final
push for area teams to make
statements to get the best
seeds and matchups possible
as the second season looms.
Such was the task of
Ottoville and Elida during
non-league action Tuesday
night on the Union Bank
Court of the Elida Fieldhouse.
Both teams played solid
defense but the Lady Green
was better as they pushed their
winning skein to six straight
with a 46-36 conquest.
The Lady Green (12-6)
shot 39.0 percent from the
floor (16-of-41, 6-of-18
downtown) against the Elida
(6-12) 2-3 matchup zone; that
was versus the 31.4 percent of
the Lady Dawgs (11-of-35,
4-of-14 from deep) attacking
the Lady Green man-to-man.
The difference between
now and the start of the season is better teamwork. Early
on, we tried to do too much
on an individual basis and we
forgot about our teammates,
Ottoville mentor Dave Kleman
explained. That was especially
true offensively. In our 6-game
streak, we have worked much
better together; we have had
better teamwork in finding the
right shot as well as not forcing bad shots. Defensively, we
have been pretty decent most
of the year but we are communicating better and playing
better team defense now.
For Elida co-coach Chrissy
Billiter, its continuing to make
positive step in the right direction.

Were closer and keep moving in that direction. We only

lost by 10 to a solid team and
program tonight, she added.
We rebounded well against a
much taller team and actually
defended them pretty well. Our
pattern this year is when we
defend well, we cant score and
vice versa; when we score well,
we cant stop teams. We wanted
to try and get a higher pace
because our half-court offense
is really struggling its our
Achilles heel but even there,
were tentative. Still, we are
playing our best ball overall and
right before the draw is a good
time to do so.
Elida saw the return of
senior Sabrina Kline after nearly a year out due to injuries.
When
senior
Annie
Lindeman (13 markers - 3
bombs - 5 caroms) hit a putback at the 7-minute mark, the
Green and Gold led for good.
The visitors forced seven of
17 Elida turnovers in the first
period, which hampered the
Orange and Blacks efforts.
When senior Abby Waddle
(8 markers, 6 boards) hit an
and-1 drive with 14.7 ticks
on the board, Elida was down
11-8 at the end of a period.
Elida took better care of
the ball in the second stanza
but struggled shooting over the
taller Ottoville 5, hitting a mere
1-of-10. On the other end, the
Green was 5-of-13 with
junior Nicole Kramer scoring
all five of her points. Her layin
at 2:20 gave the visitors the
biggest spread of the first half
at 23-11 before a free toss by
Kline at 2:04 accounted for the
23-12 halftime score.

DELPHOS It wasnt pretty for

either team Tuesday night at Robert A.
Arnzen Gymnasium.
The Lincolnview Lady Lancers and
St. Johns Lady Blue Jays combined for
a total of 49 points but the Blue Jays
got one extra for the 25-24 non-league
victory.
This was a night where two teams
battled all night on the floor in a defensive showcase, explained St. Johns
coach Dan Grothouse. Not to make
excuses but our girls didnt get any practice time in over the weekend and the
snow took another day away from us on
Monday. We didnt have our legs under
us tonight and it showed as we were out
of sync.
The Blue Jays first possession of
the night was a prelude of how long
of a night it was going to be for both
offenses as they passed the ball around
the Lancer defense. Finally at the 6:29
mark, Madilynn Schulte scored on a
layup from the right side. Schulte gave
St. Johns an early 4-0 lead with an exact
replica of her first basket, again from
the right side of the court. Meanwhile at
the other end of the court, the Blue Jays
came out in an unusual 2-3 zone that
held Lincolnview scoreless for the first
three minutes until Ashton Bowersock
scored with a drive down the lane. The
Jays owned the glass early in the contest
as Sydney Fischbach grabbed an offensive rebound for the putback, giving
St. Johns a 6-2 lead. Bowersock took
another drive to the hole, this time down
the baseline for the nifty move for two.
Halie Benavidezs shot was blocked
by the Lancer defense but she alertly
grabbed the ball in midair for an assist
to herself for the basket. Schulte notched
her third drive from the right side for a
bucket as the Jays led 11-4 after one.
The second quarter was a scoreless struggle until Schulte hit a free
throw with 2:04 remaining in the first

half. Suddenly, the Lincolnview offense
flipped the switch to on as Alaina
Williams found Hannah McCleery open
for the hoop-and-foul as the Lancers
trailed 12-7 with 1:47 left on the clock.
Bowersock hit a 12-footer from the
baseline and Julia Thatchers offensive
rebound and bucket finished out a 7-0
spurt in less than two minutes as the
Lancers pulled within 12-11 at the break.
Lincolnviews defensive pressure
also kicked into gear to open the second
half with a steal by McCleery, resulting in a made free throw to even the
score at a dozen. Full-court pressure by
Lincolview forced a second turnover at
half-court as the Lancers took their first
lead on the night on a jumper from the
foul line by Bowersock. St. Johns Lexie

Hays grabbed an airball for the basket to

knot the contest at 14. Senior McCleery
got the assist to Bowersock for the hoop
and Hays answered for the Jays to keep
the game deadlocked. Lincolnviews
Williams executed the give-and-go perfectly to Thatcher down the paint for a
18-16 Lancer lead heading into the final
quarter.
We play at our best when we get
the steals on defense resulting in points
on transition, commented Lincolnview
coach Dan Wiiliamson. Our girls really
picked it up to end the second quarter
and continued in the second half with
great defensive pressure that led to baskets to take the lead.

Lancer wrestlers host NWC tuneup

By BRIAN BASSETT
DHI Media Correspondent
news@[Link]
MIDDLE POINT The
Lincolnview Lancer wrestling team hosted a last-minute tuneup for this weekends Northwest Conference
championships in the form
of a NWC quad-match with
Spencerville,
Columbus
Grove and Bluffton at
Lincolnview High School
Tuesday evening.
With only four wrestlers
on the roster, the Lancers
couldnt pull out a team
win,but all four wrestlers
showed well in the late-season match.
All-in-all it was a great
night, explained Lancer

coach Curtis Miller. This is

half of our conference with
us heading into the NWC
meet this weekend. This is
always a good match to kind
of get a warmup. Everybody
is getting ready to be wrestling each other at conference
this weekend.
The Lancers are focusing
on individual performances this season and got some
good ones Tuesday, led by
senior 113-pounder Alex
Rodriguez.
Rodriguez went 2-0 on the
evening including a pin of his
Spencerville opponent at the
1:19 mark of the first period.
Miller said that Rodriguez
is wrestling well heading into
this weekend.
Alex is looking great. He

just came off of a fourthplace finish at Lima Central

Catholic, which is a majority
of the teams in our district.
Also strong at the conference quad was fellow senior,
152-pounder Jacob Gibson,
who went 1-1 and finished
the evening strong with a pin
of his Spencerville opponent
at the one-minute mark of the
first period.
Rodriguez and Gibson
were both celebrated as
departing seniors during the
teams senior-night festivities.
In any program the
seniors kind of set the tone,
explained Miller. With low
numbers this year, and losing half our team with these
two seniors (it will be tough).

Theyve helped a lot at the

junior high level, too. Its
going to be a big hurt losing
these two seniors.
Hopefully, next year the
eight graders moving up can
fill the voids.
Luke Bollinger went 1-1
for the Lancers on the evening in the 106-pound weight
class, and 220-pounder Jaden
Dickson went 0-2.
Overall, Miller is optimistic about the chances of all
four of his wrestlers at the
NWC meet this weekend at
Bluffton High School.
Going into conference,
we know what we need to
do. We just need to make
sure we put it all together and
do what we need to get done
Saturday.

Lady Knights stay unbeaten with 56-26 romp

By JOHN PARENT
DHI Media Sports Editor
news@[Link]
CONVOY The Lady Archers shot
57 percent in the first half and held
Crestview to 42 percent and only 2-for11 from 3-point range. A glance at those
numbers alone would have indicated
that the unbeaten Lady Knights were
in trouble as they hosted Antwerp on
Tuesday night.
Thanks to 11 Archer turnovers, however, Cretsview led by 11 at the break and
turned its defense up another notch in the
second half, cruising to a 56-26 victory.
Antwerp (3-12) led three times in the
opening period, but Crestview showed
what kind of explosiveness it has when
it comes to scoring points. In a span of
less than one minute, the Knights rattled
off a 9-0 run to turn a 2-point deficit into
a 7-point lead.
That run, a Mackenzie Riggenbach
3-pointer, a pair of fast-break layups by
Emily Bauer and a baseline jumper from
Lindsey Motycka, didnt deter Antwerp,
however. The Archers continued to get
open looks at the basket and scored the
final five points of the period to pull
within 16-13 after one.
We just werent plying very disciplined, Crestview head coach Greg
Rickard explained. We were helping
out of position and going for steals; we
just played undisciplined defense in that
first quarter. Antwerp did a good job of
making us pay for it.
From that point forward, Crestview
(17-0) amped up the pressure and began
to wear on the less experienced Archer
guards. Antwerp was held to just three
field goal attempts (two makes) in the
second quarter while committing seven
turnovers. Crestview, meanwhile, started to work the post and Bauer scored six
points in the period as the Knights took a
30-19 edge into the locker room.
The second half was more of the same
for Crestview, both in terms of defensive

intensity and in terms of low post scoring. After Antwerps talented freshman
Rachel Williamson connected on a pair
of jumpers, including one from beyond
the arc, early in the third quarter, the Lady

scored the final nine points of the period
to take a 41-24 lead after three.

Signing day: Cowart, Ivey

lead best uncommitted recruits
By RALPH D. RUSSO
Associated Press
Spend a few hours on national signing day watching
teenagers pick hats in their high school gymnasiums and
you might find it hard to believe that the vast majority of
top football prospects have long ago made their choice of
colleges.
Those who do hold out tend to get a lot of attention especially when they are among
the best players in country.
This
year,
several
5-star prospects are set to
announce where they will
attend school on signing
day. A look at the players expected to produce the
most drama and excitement
today, when college football
teams re-stock their shelves
with fresh talent.
1) Byron Cowart, LB, 6-foot-4, 250 pounds, Armwood
(Florida) High School. The No. 1 player on the board according to both Rivals and ESPN, he seemed destined for Florida
until the Gators fired coach Will Muschamp. When Muschamp
landed the defensive coordinator job at Auburn, Cowart turned
his attention to the Tigers. Cowart reportedly tore up the practices for the Under Armour All-America Game and has the
look of a player who could turn into a menace of a pass rusher.
This kid really loves to play the game and I think that
sometimes can be an overlooked trait in the evaluation process, ESPN national recruiting director Tom Luginbill said.
Some guys, theyre living for it. I think hes that type of
guy. Theres a tremendous amount of drive and passion for
the game. I dont think its necessarily something that can be
taught.
2) Martez Ivey, OT, 6-5, 275 pounds, Apopka (Fla.) High
School. Another player choosing between Auburn and Florida,
though he was considering Auburn even before Muschamp
made the move. An athletic and well-rounded lineman, Ivey
has room to grow and gain weight. The top-rated offensive
lineman in this class.
3) Iman Marshall, CB, 6-1, 190, Long Beach (California)
Poly. Scouts love tall corners. Marshall is a 6-1 and 190
pounds, fast and physical. Jim Harbaugh and Michigan
are making a late charge to pull him away from Southern
California and UCLA. Florida, LSU and Notre Dame also will
be hoping Marshall picks them.
4) CeCe Jefferson, DE, 6-2, 250, Baker County (Florida)
Senior. Despite being a little short for an elite pass rusher,
Jefferson displays a variety of moves and strong hands.
Another 5-star with Florida and Auburn on his list but
the analysts are leaning more toward an Alabama or
Mississippi decision for him. Florida State and LSU also
in the mix.
5) SoSo Jamabo, RB/athlete, 6-2 1/2, 210, Plano West
(Texas) High School. If nothing else, Jamabos got a sense of
humor. He tweeted last week that his choices were down to The
University of Phoenix and ITT Technical Institute. Now that
its time to get serious, hell pick between UCLA and Texas.
What position he plays is also going to be interesting tracking at the next level, Luginbill said.
His frame suggests a possible move to linebacker or strong
safety. Or maybe he could follow in the footsteps of UCLAs
Myles Jack and Washingtons Shaq Thompson and play both
sides of the ball.

Stolly explodes for 39

to doom Lady Cougars
By JIM METCALFE
DHI Media Sports Editor
jmetcalfe@[Link]
LIMA Van Wert head girls baskjetball coach Lance Moonshower liked
how his Lady Cuhgars came out the first
period against Lima Central Catholic
Monday night.
Unfortunately for him, Lady
Thunderbird Madison Stolly took matters into her own hands and led a comeback and a 71-61 non-conference victory inside Msgr. E. C. Herr Gymnasium.
Stoll scored all 15 first-period points for the hosts (117), their first 20 and poured in
39 total including 16-of-22
at the line.
Her drives against the
Cougar man and 1-2-2 zone
for most of the night were
mainly responsible for getting
key Cougar (4-14) weapons like Alexis
Dowdy (16 markers, 6 boards) in early
foul trouble and helped LCC hold a 21-7
edge in made free throws (33 attempts
for the hosts for 63.6% vs. 10 for the
visitors for 70%).
We knew full well what Stolly was
capable of doing; she is such a good athlete and just hard-nosed. We tried to take
something away from her and she either
still did it like get to the basket and
the line or did something else, like
rebounding her own misses, Van Wert
coach Lance Moonshower explained.
You would think that after so many
times, wed make the adjustment on the
court but the girls just seemed a step
behind doing so; we have to learn to
be tough against someone like her and
learn how to guard well without fouling.
We played hard but not as smart as we
needed to.
LCC coach Katie Krieg was ecstatic
to see her star sophomore guard have
this kind of game.
She is more than capable of this
every time but she isnt always under
control and on balance. She was both
of those tonight and more; she was
finishing well because of it, Krieg
added. She definitely carried us for
long stretches tonight. When they started to at least slow her down, it opened
up the 3-point shooting for others like
Kayla (Verhoff - 5 treys for 15 markers).
Kayla didnt start off shooting well but
she picked it up as the game wore on;
shes one of the best shooters weve ever

had here and we tell her to keep firing.

Despite Stollys efforts the first period five made field goals and 5-of-7
singles the Cougars came out hitting
7-of-12 shots, with Erin Morrow (13
markers, 7 boards, 4 assists) leading the
way with five points. In fact, they scored
the first 10 points of the night before
Stolly hit an old-fashioned 3-point play
at 4:31. When she drove to the basket at
25 ticks, she brought LCC within 18-15
at the end of eight minutes.
Both teams were about the same
from the field in the second stanza: Van
Wert 2-of-10 and LCC 2-of11. The difference came
at the line: 6-of-9 for the
home unit vs. 1-of-2 for
the visitors. That allowed
the T-Birds to twice tie and
then take the lead for good
at 1:21 when Samantha
Koenig (7 rebounds) hit a
transition drive to make it 26-24 at the
half.
Stolly had six points in the period
6-of-8 at the stripe.
With the Cougars 1-2-2 zone finally
keeping Stolly from attacking the rim,
LCC just turned to the 3-point shot to
get the damage done. Hitting
5-of-12 beyond the arc in the
third stanza (8-of-14 total in
the period), Stolly tacked on
eight points and Verhoff a pair
of bombs to help the home
team steadily build a lead.
With Morrows four pacing the
Cougars who were 7-of-14 shooting
in the time frame, Dowdy and several
others were struggling with foul woes.
When Verhoff dropped a triple from
the left corner at 7.1 ticks, LCCs lead
expanded to 48-40.
Van Wert tried to rally and with
Dowdy finally unshackled, she scored
10 counters in the final period as they
netted 8-of-15. Unfortunately, forced to
go almost all man, LCC used its quickness to can 6-of-10 from the field and
9-of-14 at the line with Stolly 4-of-6
from there as part of her 10 points to
keep their guests from getting closer
than eight.
Overall, Van Wert shot 24-of-51
fielders (6-of-20 downtown) for 47.1
percent; secured 32 caroms (8 offensive); turned it over 17 times; and added
22 fouls
LCC finished 21-of-48 from the field
(8-of-28 beyond the arc) for 43.7 per-

NFL suspends Browns WR Josh Gordon for year

Associated Press
CLEVELAND Josh Gordon has
been pushed out of bounds again by the
NFL. And this time, theres no guarantee
hell be back.
The troubled wide receiver was suspended by the league for at least one year
without pay on Tuesday for violating
the leagues substance-abuse program.
The 23-year-olds third suspension since
turning pro has placed his once promising career in jeopardy and could be the
end of his days with the Browns.
Gordon, who has already served two
league suspensions for drug violations,
will have to apply for reinstatement. A
league spokesman said his 1-year ban
begins immediately, meaning he will
miss the entire 2015 season and forfeit
his $1.07 million salary and a portion
of the $2.3 million bonus he got while
signing a 4-year contract in 2012.
The former Pro Bowler has been a
repeat offender of the leagues drug policy
and his latest offense seems to have driven a
deep wedge between him and the Browns.
General manager Ray Farmer was
blunt in responding to Gordons latest
troubles.
As we have conveyed, we are disappointed to once again be at this point
with Josh, Farmer said in a statement.
Throughout his career we have tried
to assist him in getting support like we
would with any member of our organization. Unfortunately our efforts have
not resonated with him.
Farmer said Gordon needs to make
substantial strides to live up to the
teams expectations.
Our hope is that this suspension

Recker named HCAC Player of
the Week
BLUFFTON, Ohio - The honors keep
rolling in for Bluffton standout Thayne
Recker (Arlington) after his record-setting performance in Saturdays triple-overtime thriller against Hanover on
Saturday. One day after he was named
the Heartland Conference Player of the
Week for the third time this season,
Recker was selected as the Division III
Mens Basketball Player of the Week
by the United States Basketball Writers
Association after collecting his second
[Link] Team of the Week honor

Jays

by hitting consecutive 3-pointers down the

stretch. Antwerp, meanwhile, was held to
just seven points after halftime, including
only two, an 8-foot jumper by Peyton Short
to open the fourth quarter scoring, in the final
period.
While the 30-point margin on the scoreboard looks comfortable, Rickard knows his
team has work to do in terms of bringing intensity to every game, no matter the opponent.
Its something weve got to get better at,
playing every game the way it needs to be
played instead of when do we need to turn
on a switch, Rickard lamented. Weve got
to get better at that.

in three weeks.
The junior standout punished
Hanover with 53 points, on 14-of-24
shooting, and added a career-high 15
rebounds in the win over the Panthers,
breaking the HCAC record held by
Manchesters Burt Paddock since
January of 1996. Recker also set new
HCAC and Bluffton records for free
throws made (25) and free throws
attempted (28) in the contest. His 53
markers topped Scott Bergmans school
mark of 50 set against Anderson in
January of 2005.
The record-setting performance is
also the highest point total by any NCAA
Division III player this season. Earlier
in the week, Recker scored 19 points

(Continued from page 6)

The Lancers extended their lead with a

jumper by Bowersock and a drive by Thatcher
sandwiched around a pair of free throws by
Hays. Rachel Pohlman quickly trimmed the
Lancers 4-point lead to one - hitting the only
triple of the night with 5:03 remaining in the
game. Lincolnview ran nearly two minutes off
the clock on their next possession by simply
standing uncontested by the Jays defense at
half court before turning the ball over. St.
Johns capitalized on the gift as Fischbach
landed both charity tosses with 3:01 left in the
game for a 23-22 lead. Almost two minutes
ran off the clock before Thatcher came up
big for the Lancers with a drive down the left
side for a 1-point lead with 65 seconds to go.
Fischbach was fouled on an open shot and
was as cool as the other side of the pillow in

sinking both free throws in a pressure situation to seal the win for the Blue Jays.

Defiance. For the week, he averaged
36.0 points and 13.5 rebounds per contest, while shooting 53.7 percent from
the field.
Recker is the first Heartland
Conference mens basketball player to
be named the USBWA National Player
of the Week, an award that is in its first
year of existence at the Division III level.
His selection to the [Link] Team
of the Week is the second time he has
been accorded that honor in the past
three weeks. Recker earned his first
Team of the Week selection after leading Bluffton to wins over rival Defiance,
when he dropped in a then career-high

Johns defense for picking up the pace and
forcing us to make bad decisions.
Lincolview shot 34% from the floor,
including 0 for 3 from long range. Bowersock
led the Lancers with 12 points and Thatcher
added nine.
St. Johns was led in scoring by Hays and
Schulte with seven points each, followed by
Fischbach with six. The Blue Jays were 1 of 4
on 3-point attempts and shot 38% from the floor.
The Blue Jays grabbed 21 rebounds as
Fischbach was huge under the rim with
10 boards. Lincolnview had a total of 14
rebounds.
Lincolnview only turned the ball over 10
times compared to 13 for St. Johns.
With the victory, St. Johns improves to
8-10 and will face state-ranked and Midwest
Athletic Conference leader Marion Local at
home Thursday night.
Lincolnview falls to 11-7 and will take on
Lima Central Catholic the same night.
The junior varsity game was a mirrow
of two quarters as St. Johns outscored
Lincolnview 14-2 in the first quarter but the
Lancers scored 14 in the second quarter compared to two for St. Johns to send the game
to overtime. The Blue Jays came away with
the 23-19 in the scheduled shortened contest.

The visitors pushed their
lead to the biggest of the night
14 points twice in the
early moments of the third
stanza. The first was at 7:01
on a Lindeman bomb (2612) and the second was at
31-17 on sophomore Alicia
Honigfords basket (14 counters, 4 assists) at the 5-minute
mark. With freshman Shyar
Wheeler (12 counters, 5 caroms) who came off the
bench this night dropping
a 3-ball at 4:20, Elida began a
10-2 spurt to get within 33-27
on a half-court steal and layin
by sophomore Hope Carter (7
points, 5 steals) at 48.6 ticks.
The pace of the game
which was never up-tempo to begin with slowed
down even more in the finale. Ottoville showed estreme
patience and eventually forced
Elida to go man-to-man. After
Honigford buried a 3-ball
from the right corner at 7:32,
the closest the hosts could get
was 36-29 on a Wheeler basket at 7:16.
In toto, Ottoville drained
8-of-13 free toesses (61.5%);
grabbed 29 off the glass (11
offensive) as sophomore
Alexis Thorbahn nabbed
seven; 14 errors; and 18 fouls.
Overall, Elida netted 10-of13 freebies (76.9%); secured
28 rebounds (8 offensive) as
Bailee Kuhn had seven; and
19 fouls.

What to do? Some questions and Return on investment

requires
some
risk
answers about measles at work
grounds in the workplace. If they have religious beliefs that forbid their being vaccinated, they can also sue employers for discrimination under the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Employers should weigh the risks of
mandating vaccinations or even asking
about them before proceeding, says Audrey
Mross, an employment law attorney with
Munck Wilson Mandala in Dallas.
Q. What about people who work in
health care or who handle food? Can they be
forced to be vaccinated?
A. Employers in these industries may
have more legal leeway in telling workers
they need to be vaccinated. But even those
workers cannot be forced to have vaccinations. There have been lawsuits against
hospitals who tried to mandate vaccinations,
and the health care facilities backed away
from the requirement, Mross says.
If health care workers refuse to be vaccinated, theyre likely to be assigned to work
that doesnt involve contact with patients,
Alcott HR Groups Byrnes says.
Q. Why is it a problem to ask workers if
they or their children have been vaccinated?
A. Laws including the ADA, the Health
Insurance Portability and Accountability
Act, or HIPAA, and the Genetic Information
Nondiscrimination Act are designed to protect workers privacy. Protection under federal law extends to a workers family.

Q. What if employees suspect that a

co-worker has measles and ask the boss about
their health? What should an employer do?
A. If an employer is aware of a staffers
illness, the boss cannot discuss the workers
health with other employees, Byrnes says. Even
if a staffer has gone public about an illness, an
employer is still bound by the ADA and HIPAA
not to reveal any information about it.
What employers can and should do is
educate staffers about how to prevent the
spread of disease.
Q. What if workers say theyre not vaccinated, and have been exposed to someone
with measles? Can an employer tell them to
stay home?
A. Yes, but they should be placed on
paid leave. Thats what Walt Disney Parks
and Resorts did after several workers at its
California theme parks were infected with
measles.
A paid leave of absence is the best and
most conservative option right now, says
Brooke Iley, an employment law attorney
with Blank Rome in Washington, D.C.
Business owner Ariel Ozick has asked
his staff to stay home for five days if theyre
not vaccinated against measles and have
been traveling.
Once youre flying through all the main
hubs, youre going to get that exposure,
says Ozick, owner of [Link].

Study: Many herbal supplements

arent what the label says
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP)
Bottles of Walmart-brand echinacea, an herb said to ward off
colds, were found to contain no
echinacea at all. GNC-brand
bottles of St. Johns wort, touted
as a cure for depression, held
rice, garlic and a tropical houseplant, but not a trace of the herb.
In fact, DNA testing on hundreds of bottles of store-brand
herbal supplements sold as
treatments for everything from
memory loss to prostate trouble
found that four out of five contained none of the herbs on the
label. Instead, they were packed
with cheap fillers such as wheat,
rice, beans or houseplants.
Based on the testing commissioned by his office, New
York Attorney General Eric
Schneiderman said Tuesday he
has sent letters to the four major
store chains involved GNC,
Target, Walmart and Walgreens
demanding that they immediately stop selling adulterated or
mislabeled dietary supplements.
Schneiderman said the supplements pose serious risks.
People who have allergies or
are taking certain medications
can suffer dangerous reactions
from herbal concoctions that
contain substances not listed on
the label, he said.
This investigation makes

one thing abundantly clear: The

old adage buyer beware may
be especially true for consumers of herbal supplements, the
attorney general said.
The herbal supplement
industry criticized the method
used to analyze the samples and
raised questions about the reliability of the findings.
Walmart spokesman Brian
Nick said the company is
reaching out to suppliers and
will take appropriate action.
Walgreen pledged to cooperate with the attorney general,
who asked the store chains
for detailed information on
production and quality control.
We take these issues very
seriously and as a precautionary measure, we are in the process of removing these products
from our shelves as we review
this matter further, Walgreen
spokesman James Graham said.
GNC said it, too, will cooperate, but spokeswoman Laura
Brophy said: We stand by the
quality, purity and potency of all
ingredients listed on the labels of
our private-label products.
Target said it cant comment
without reviewing the full report.
Nutritionist David Schardt
of the Center for Science in the
Public Interest said the tests show

Calcet is designed to help

stop low calcium leg cramps.
Just ask your pharmacist.

that the supplement industry is in

urgent need of reform, and until
that happens, consumers should
stop wasting their money.
A 2013 Canadian government study estimated there are
65,000 dietary supplements on
the market, consumed by more
than 150 million Americans. The
nonprofit American Botanical
Council estimated 2013 sales of
herbal supplements in the U.S.
at $6 billion.
The Food and Drug
Administration requires companies to verify their products are
safe and properly labeled. But
supplements are exempt from
the FDAs strict approval process for prescription drugs.
Schneiderman said tests
found no echinacea or any
other plant material in bottles
of Walmarts Spring Valley
Echinacea. He said no ginseng
was found in 20 tests of GNCs
Herbal Plus Ginseng, which is
taken to boost energy.
Other supplements tested
included garlic, which is said
to boost immunity and prevent
heart disease; ginkgo biloba,
often touted as a memory-booster; and saw palmetto, promoted
as a prostate treatment.
DNA tests found such substances as rice, beans, pine, citrus, asparagus, primrose, wheat,

houseplant, wild carrot and

unidentified non-plant material
none of which were mentioned on the label.
The store chain with the poorest showing was Walmart, where
only 4 percent of the products
tested showed DNA from the
plants listed on the labels.
The investigation looked at
six herbal supplements sold at
stores across the state. Testing
was performed by an expert in
DNA technology, James Schulte
II of Clarkson University in
Potsdam, New York.
The DNA tests were done
on three to four samples of each
supplement purchased. Each
sample was tested five times.
Overall, 390 tests involving 78
samples were conducted.
Steve Mister, president
and CEO of the Council for
Responsible Nutrition, a dietary
supplement trade group, criticized the testing procedure
and accused Schneiderman of
engaging in a self-serving publicity stunt under the guise of
protecting public health.
Processing during manufacturing of botanical supplements can remove or damage
DNA, Mister said. As a result,
he said, DNA analysis may be
the wrong test for these kinds of
products.

NEW YORK (AP) A boss whos

worried about an outbreak of measles in the
workplace needs to tread lightly.
Reports of a growing number of measles
cases have employers wondering what they
should be doing. But federal and state laws
can limit their ability to require workers to be
vaccinated. And it may be risky to even ask
staffers whether theyve gotten a measles or
other type of vaccination.
News about a measles case in the New
York City area has clients calling human
resources provider Alcott HR Group seeking advice, says Bob Byrnes, director of
risk management with the New York-based
company.
Theyre asking, what can they do? Can
they go up and ask people if theyre vaccinated, or if their children are, Byrnes says.
Some questions and answers about measles and the workplace:
Q. Can an employer require workers to
be vaccinated against measles, or any other
disease?
A. Legally, an employer can tell workers
they must be vaccinated, but doing so puts
them at risk for lawsuits under federal and
state laws designed to shield workers from
discrimination and protect their privacy.
Workers might bring lawsuits under the
Americans with Disabilities Act, or ADA,
which prohibits discrimination on medical

DEAR BRUCE: I am in
my 70s. I have no mortgage or
any other bills to worry about.
I receive Social Security and a
small pension.
I recently rolled over my
401(k). My broker put it in
a mutual fund. This month it
went down $2,015.90. I was
told its a good fund, not to
worry. Since this is the only
savings I have, should I consider talking to a new adviser? I cant afford a loss of any
amount. -- Meg
DEAR MEG: The statement you made, I cant afford a loss of any amount,
is troublesome to me. I cant
think of anyplace you can put
the money and get a decent
return that doesnt have some
measure of risk. But I think
you will be in good shape in a
conservative portfolio. Notice
I said portfolio, not mutual
fund or anything similar.
You didnt indicate how
much money you have and
that is a troublesome part of
the equation, but in my opinion, you are far better advised
to invest your money with a
degree of risk. Risk is part of
todays investment environment. If you stay with major
companies that pay dividends,
over a period of time, I think
you will do fine.
DEAR BRUCE: What is
the best way to get my credit
score higher? Its currently at
700. Are there any tricks to
giving it a big boost? -- Gina
DEAR GINA: The only
trick is to use good judgment.
There is no reason to go out
and start borrowing money
just to build up a credit environment that reflects well
upon you. But if you are going to borrow money, borrow
from sources that will contribute to your record, organiza-

Wild
animals
dont know the difference between food
thats good for them
and a meal that can
harm them. One way
we can help wildlife
from harming themselves is to make our
trash as unappealing
as possible. According to the Humane
Society of the United
States, one way to do
that is to make sure
all recyclables are
rinsed out to remove
all food remnants and
odors. Animals like
skunks can get their
heads stuck in containers in search of
food. Also, be sure
any plastic food wrap
is rinsed and then
placed inside another container inside
of the trash can; food
wrap can be ingested
when animals think
its food, so make it
impossible for them
to get their paws on
it.

for dinner recently while visiting her in her town. A couple from home who know my

at this restaurant. I greeted
them as we walked by their

The next day, my wife approached me and showed me
a picture of me and my date
that had been taken by this
couple without my knowledge. I was furious about the
invasion of privacy. My wife
claims I am just angry because I got caught. If I were

DEAR ABBY: Im 30 and
have felt pretty happy with
my life. I enjoy my job, my
social life, staying fit and extensive stays abroad. I thought
I was going along OK, even
though there is still room for
improvement.
My biggest (or most obvious) shortcoming, however, is
that Im not attractive in any
way, and guys have never
been attracted to me, so any
chance at a future with someone is not an option. I thought
I was learning to accept it, but
its harder than I thought -- especially because of reactions
from other people.
Now that Im older, people

Im starting to feel like a total

They produced 300
barrels of Best Select
lager that year. In the
1850s, Philip Best
took over the company and his son-inlaw, Frederick Pabst,
sold his interest in a
shipping company
and bought into the
family business. According to company records, in 1876,
Pabst Best Select
won a gold medal at
the Centennial Celebration, one of many
awards it would

A few years later,
Pabst placed a handtied blue silk ribbon
around each bottle

years, the company
was buying nearly
one million feet of

Sharing your creative and
novel ideas will help you attract the kind of people who
are looking for innovative
investments. Dont be shy;
promote your skills and pursuits in a confident and convincing manner. You have
the talent to make this a profitable year.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 19) -- Personal and
professional
relationships
will improve if you participate
in things instead of observing them. Talk to colleagues
about positions opening up
in your field. The more you
learn, the better you will do.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March
20) -- Youll be looking for
a new challenge. Restlessness or boredom will lead to
poor decisions. Dont do or
say anything that could impede your progress.
ARIES (March 21-April
19) -- A compatible partnership is imminent. Make sure
any agreements you develop are well-balanced, or
you may find yourself overworked and overwhelmed. A
third party can offer helpful
hints.
DOWN
TAURUS (April 20-May 1 Goods for
20) -- Influential acquaintances will help you make
a good financial move. Be
prepared to act quickly when
the right opportunity comes
along. Moderation and determination will lead to success.

Changes at home will cause
some tension, but everyone
will benefit in the end. Clear
up outstanding paperwork
before starting a new project.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
-- The key to a successful
partnership depends on both
parties making equal contributions. If you find that your
partner isnt pulling his or her
weight, start a discussion
before matters get worse.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.
22) -- Be sensitive to the
needs of others. Spend time
with an elderly relative who Marmaduke
offers interesting insight into
your past and provides input
about your future.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)

Your intuition is strong, and
your decisions will be on the
money. An interesting proposal will have far-reaching
benefits.

After the pilot study, if
the city decides to utilize
Fibracast, the membranes
will be used in the remaining
three trains with an estimated
cost of $4 million. It will
bring the city up to the recommended 3.83 million gallons a day capacity to prevent
peak wet weather flow/combined sewer overflows that
are limited to four per year by

also more cost-efficient with

Atherine said his timeline
would see the pilot study with
the new product start in the
summer.
Council will see further
information and legislation
on the process in the coming
months.
The

Committee met prior to council and Knueve reported to
council an amended proposal

(Continued from page 1)

A prime example of this concept is ACBDDs fun,

interactive and educational Kids on the Block puppet
performance for elementary students.
Intake Support Services Coordinator Kristen Miller
said the performances are highly engaging shows where
3-4 foot tall puppets one with a disability and one
without have a candid conversation with each other
about disabilities.
The puppets then ask the students if they have any
questions, which prompts a lively and open question/
answer session with the puppets, Miller explained.
Kids have asked questions like Does he sleep in his
wheelchair? and the puppets address the questions.
During the show, myths and misconceptions about
disabilities are replaced with facts and sensitivity. Each
puppet performance lasts from 40-60 minutes and is
best performed for groups of 50-60 or less students.
The Kids on the Block puppets were first developed
in 1977 in direct response to U.S. Public Law 94-142,
sometimes called the mainstreaming law, and today
they are used in more than 30 countries to educate
children about disability awareness and other important
social concerns.
The style of puppetry is based on Japanese Bunraku
Puppet Theatre where audiences are able to see the
large and colorful puppets shadowed by the puppeteers who are dressed in black. Each program is

presentation where individuals share what it is like living with a disability while kids rotate through stations
learning about how alike all people really are.
For example, individuals share facets of their life,
the 10 Commandments of Communicating or how
they play if they are blind, Miller explained. The
interaction empowers kids with the knowledge and
understanding that people are more alike than different
and that the disability is only one small part of that
individual.
During the presentation, a variety of instructional
materials including videos, dolls with disabilities,
literature and hands-on activities are used to simulate
disabilities.
The goal of the A.P.P.L.E program includes:
Teaching the concept that people are more alike
than they are different;
Teaching the concept that each person is unique
and special;
Providing information about different types of disabilities;
Encouraging people to ask questions about individual differences and disabilities;
Encouraging people to view disabilities as one
individual difference; and
Encouraging people to accept people with disabilities as individuals and include them in a variety of
community settings including school, work, businesses,
recreation and neighborhoods.
