LANDECK — When Pat Rode stepped onto the playground Thursday afternoon, she wasn’t overly surprised to find her family, the Landeck Elementary staff and student body all outside to wish her a happy retirement. Rode, who has been a cafeteria cook at Landeck for 30 years, knows the drill by now.

“I knew it was going to happen sometime, I just wasn’t sure when,” she laughed.

Rode knew it was time to retire but she admits the decision wasn’t an easy one to make.

“I’ll miss the kids so much. They’ve been so pleasant and their smiles have always made my day better,” she said. “That’s why I was so hesitant to quit. I came down with cancer six

years ago and they’ve all been such a big sup-port for me.”

Rode’s plans for her retirement to involve ample time spent with her husband, children and grandchildren and some volunteering.

“I think I’ll be volunteering at different places and spending some time at the lake,” she said. “I also plan to spend a lot of time with family.”

Rode and her husband Art have five chil-dren: Cheryl (Tony) Beining, Gary (Elaine) Rode, Denise (Ron) Schnipke, Teresa (Phil) Wurst and Sandy (Denny) Berelsman. They have 21 grandchildren and four great-grand-children.

“I just want to thank everyone for every-thing, especially for the last six years,” Rode said. “They’ve given me so much support and they’ve given me their prayers.”

Huysman wraps up 41-year career at St. John’sBY NANCY SPENCER

Herald [email protected]

DELPHOS —Some peo-ple go to work everyday and some are fortunate enough to do what they love everyday. A lucky few get to do both.

Friday was a bittersweet day for retiring St. John’s High School Principal Don Huysman. As the hallways emptied at the last bell of the school year, the 41-year vet-eran educator and administrator looked around his office at the array of mementos he amassed during his career. The back wall is lined with pictures of his graduating classes. The front outside edge of his desk is filled with cards wishing him well on his next endeavors and thank-ing him for his dedication.

“This had never been a job,” Huysman said as he looked up and smiled. “The

kids made it that way. They’re my kids. I love it when they come back and see me. That’s what makes it all worth while. They come back and tell me how well they are doing and let me know I had a part in it.”

Huysman also credited those he worked with for his longevity.

“I have met so many great people. They are who I’m going to miss the most,” he said. “There are so many here and in the community with tremendous dedication to what they do. I want to the thank the people of Delphos for their sup-port. It’s a great community.”

Huysman, a St. John alum-nus, didn’t always want to be a teacher. During his early col-lege years, he spent two sum-mers working at Kolkmeyer Funeral Home and and then attended mortuary school and became a licensed funeral director and even served his

apprenticeship.“That is a tough business,”

he said. “You have to be on call all the time. That life just wasn’t for me.”

So he took a look around, saw his brother, Ron, who was a teacher, and decided to try it. After graduating from Ohio State University, Huysman tried in earnest to get a job.

“I looked everywhere,” he said. “There were just no full-time positions available.”

Then came the call from St. John’s High School Principal George Adams.

“He said he had a part-time position at the elementary school and one at the high school and asked if I wanted to do both,” Huysman recalled. “I said I would and then I lived out of a briefcase for a couple years and then I just never left. You never know where God will lead you.” Retiring St. John’s High School Principal Don Huysman displays the photos of his

graduating classes in his office Friday. He holds the one of this year’s graduating class. (Delphos Herald/Nancy Spencer)See HUYSMAN, page 10

Consumer alert - federal health care confusion triggering potential scams

Information submitted

COLUMBUS — Ohio Lieutenant Governor and Insurance Director Mary Taylor has issued a consumer alert after reports have surfaced that telephone con art-ists are using the confusion surrounding the Affordable Care Act (ACA) to attempt to steal Ohioans’ personal information. The scammers are claiming to be representatives of a health insurance exchange, Medicare or a “govern-ment program.”

“The Ohio Department of Insurance has been made aware of attempts to scam Ohioans by capitalizing on confusion around federal health care,” Taylor said. “No one from an official government program should be call-ing you requesting your personal information. If you are contacted by a suspicious caller, do not provide your personal information, including your Medicare, Social Security and bank account numbers.”

Specifically in Ohio, Scammers are: Claiming to be authorized to help people navigate the health insurance exchange cre-ated under the ACA and say they need to verify the person’s name, address and Social Security number.

Tip: Health insurance exchange open enrollment does not begin until Oct. 1. The marketing of plans offering coverage through

the exchange has not begun.Claiming to be a Medicare representative

and that because of the ACA the person’s information needs verified in order to receive a new Medicare card.

Tip: New Medicare cards are not being issued because of the federal health care law. Claiming they need the person’s Medicare number to provide them an updated medical emergency alert device. One of the brand names mentioned was Lifeline.

Tip: Medicare does not cover medical alert devices.

Avoid Becoming a Victim:Medicare or government program repre-

sentatives do not make house calls or solicit by telephone.

Protect your personal information. Do not give out your Medicare, Social Security or bank account numbers.

Contact the Ohio Department of Insurance:If you have been contacted by a suspicious

caller seeking your personal information, call the Department’s fraud hotline at 1-800-686-1527 to share details of the interaction. You can also report it at www.insurance.ohio.gov.

Study on female breadwinners ignites verbal brawl

AP Television Writer

NEW YORK— Fox News Channel anchor Megyn Kelly said Friday that she’s offended by a male colleague’s sugges-tion that children of working mothers don’t fare as well as children with stay-at-home moms.

A Pew Research Center study released this week show-ing that women are now the primary breadwinners in 40 percent of households with children ignited a sharp debate on Fox with two of the net-work’s most prominent women taking on male colleagues. It culminated in an electric on-air exchange Friday among Kelly, Fox contributor Erick Erickson and anchor Lou Dobbs.

The debate also included with the unusual — for Fox — use of President Barack Obama as a symbol of success.

“What makes you dominant and me submissive and who died and made you scientist-in-chief?” Kelly said to Erickson.

Dobbs had convened a panel with three other men who bemoaned the study’s findings Wednesday on the Fox Business Network. Juan Williams said the study showed that “some-thing’s gone terribly wrong in American society and it’s hurt-ing our children.” Pollster Doug Schoen suggested that the social order is being undermined.

Erickson said that in nature, the male is typically dominant. He later wrote that children in a two-parent traditional house-hold will more often than not be more successful than children of single or gay parents.

“We should not kid ourselves or scream so loudly in politi-cally correct outrage to drown the truth,” Erickson wrote on his redstate.com blog. “Kids most likely will do best in households where they have a mom at home nurturing them while dad is out bringing home the bacon.”

Fox prime-time host Greta Van Susteren blogged in response: “Have these men lost their minds?” She wrote that the next thing they’ll have “is a segment to discuss eliminating women’s right to vote.”

Erickson told Kelly on Friday that it isn’t healthy for society when the roles of men and women in the family are interchangeable.

Kelly said plenty of data sug-gest that children in homes with homosexual parents or working mothers are as healthy and able to thrive in society as children with stay-at-home moms. Kelly, a mother of two, dismissed Erickson’s contention that he wasn’t judging others.

BY US SENATOR SHERROD BROWN

Student loan debt now exceeds $1 trillion. That’s more than credit card debt. That’s more than auto loans. In fact, student loan debt is only second to mortgage debt in this country.

That’s unconscionable. Students and their families should not have to sign away their financial futures in order to get a good educa-tion. Yet today’s graduates aren’t just leaving campus with newly minted degrees; they’re leaving with a life-time of debt.

Students at KSU and OSU, Sinclair and Cincinnati State, Ohio University and the University of Toledo, and countless other schools throughout our state are looking forward to starting their futures upon gradu-ation. These students will graduate into an econom-ic recovery and better job prospects than other recent graduates, but their heavi-er debt burden means that graduates will spend their adulthood paying off their debts instead of buying a home, starting a business, or continuing on to graduate school. Money that could be spent for productive eco-nomic activity will instead go to servicing debt.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the aver-age student-loan debt for a borrower earning a bach-elor’s degree this year is $30,000. That’s why subsi-

dized Federal Direct Stafford Loans are so important. Most independent Stafford bor-rowers – about 80 percent – come from families making less than $40,000 a year.

Unfortunately, unless Congress acts soon, more than 361,000 college stu-dents in Ohio will face an average of $1,000 more in costs over the life of their loan, per subsidized Stafford loan.

Beginning on July 1, interest rates on these need-based loans will double from 3.4 percent to 6.8 per-cent for borrowers, unless we do something to stop it. Allowing Stafford Loan interest rates to increase will hinder Ohio students’ ability to afford college – and hurt America’s economic com-petitiveness.

That’s why I’m fighting to pass the Student Loan

Affordability Act, which would keep college afford-able for more middle-class and low-income students. The bill would accomplish this by maintaining the cur-rent interest rate for subsi-dized Federal Direct Stafford Loans at 3.4 percent. This legislation would help ensure that more Ohioans can achieve their dream of going to college – at no extra cost to taxpayers.

In fact, this bill would close several wasteful loop-holes. Among other things, this fully paid for bill would close a loophole for busi-nesses that shutters their doors in the U.S. only to open in China or India or Brazil and get a tax break for moving expenses.

And it would ensure all forms of crude oil are includ-ed in the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund, eliminating a special tax loophole the saves the oil industry money but not making them pay to clean up tar sands or oil sands.

More must be done to keep down the cost of higher education – and the federal government must continue to provide students with federal student loan options with borrower-friendly terms.

Students should not be required to mortgage their future or delay their opportu-nities for a better life because of student loan debt. We can solve this problem, and save money by passing the Student Loan Affordability Act.

Civil War mail

In my last article we started talking about the Confederate Mail System. If you recall, I indicated that both sides tried to make things difficult for the other in getting mail across the distinct borders. Ironically, the way much of the mail was transported from back and forth was through the exchange of prisoners of war. This system was necessary because of the vast numbers of prisoners and the shortage of places to hold them. The prisoner of war mail exchange went on until June 1863. At that point the tensions were very high and there was a mutual mistrust. In previous articles I wrote about manuscript postmarks and stampless covers. Pieces of mail from the various military prisons are quite rare and are a much sought after commodity.

There is so much information that can be learned from looking at one of these covers. The dates, names and addresses to and from as well as the postmarks and other postal mark-ings served as a living record and historians are able to put together timelines and can verify places and events based on these same markings. Most of the prisons did not have any formal postal system and postmarks were usu-ally from the nearest town. Thus historians are able to determine town names, and locations of prisons and the volumes of people held in captivity. All of this is vital to the study of Civil War Military Postal History.

If you have taken a tour of our museum you would certainly learn about franking privi-leges. Dignitaries and people of prominence were allowed to send mail without the payment of postage. In the Confederacy, franking privi-leges existed only until March of 1861 when PMG Regan removed that privilege. The only ones that retained the right of franking was the PMG and a few of his department heads. Otherwise it required postage. Even letters from the War Department of the Confederate States of America required postage.

I continue to talk about the mission of the mail to “bind the nation together”. Families were torn apart while sometimes brothers and other family members might be serving on both sides of the war. This war was no different from any other war in that receiving mail from those serving in the military was just the lift that families needed in knowing their loved ones were still alive. Many of these letters show how the soldiers begged for those back home to write more often. There isn’t a military veteran

that doesn’t get a chill just reading or hearing the words “Mail Call.”

That “binding” included the need to under-stand how life was being described and record-ed by those on and off the battlefield. I believe that the television show “MASH 4077” por-trayed mail service in exactly the right light. Remember the episodes of spouses or loved ones sending Dear John letters. One episode that will remain with me was when Radar was sent home and BJ’s wife and daughter Erin met him when he landed in California. Erin had never seen her father and called Radar, “Daddy.” BJs wife thought it was cute and wrote about it in a letter. The jealousy and frustration of being so far away from family tore BJ apart.

It has been said that when the mothers, wives and girlfriends of the Civil War military were responsible for the beginning of city delivery which began in Cleveland, Ohio. Supposedly these people would wait at the post office waiting for mail and this disrupted operations. The Postmaster told everyone to go home and they would see that the mail was delivered.

Besides the prisoner exchanges, mail was also handled by Blockade Runners. The Union had used its vast fleet of ships to line the Atlantic Coast and the Gulf of Mexico in areas that bordered Confederate states. Thousands of attempts were made by vessels that carried sup-plies and mail from Europe and the Caribbean Islands. They would travel at night and try to elude or outrun Union ships. It is said that about 80 percent of the attempts were success-ful. Since there was a clear passage of mail between the Union and these same nations, although it might be a much slower system, it did prove to be more reliable.

As a note we are starting to receive sev-eral inquiries about our trip to Monticello and Williamsburg. I will be in both of those cities in two weeks making the final preparations for our trip. Even if you have been to these areas before (this will be my 10th trip there), we have activities and entertainment scheduled that you have never seen before. Call me about our six-day/five-night tour leaving from Delphos on Sept. 28. Be sure to call me for more informa-tion; time is running short. Final counts and payments are due no later than June 29: Gary Levitt 419-303-5482.

Brown

PET CORNERDolly is a 4-year-old

with beautiful spots, brown eyes and big, floppy ears. She’s a bit shy for her breed and would benefit from a home that can give her time and patience. Dolly would do best in a home with plenty of yard space for her to explore.

Kibbles may look like all business, but his business mostly con-sists of purring and fol-lowing people around. This 5-year-old cat is like a human-seeking torpedo with a face that melts your heart. Kibbles does have food allergies, so he’ll require a special diet.

March sales in Van Wert County off slightlyBY ED GEBERT

DHI [email protected]

VAN WERT — After six straight months of increases, sales in Van Wert County slipped a bit during March. According to a report from the office of County Treasurer Bev Fuerst, collections of the county’s 1.5 percent sales tax made in May and reflecting March sales were down over the same month in 2012 by 2.76 percent.

The collection totals indi-cate how retail sales are going in the county. Even with the

decrease in the May collec-tions, for the year the coun-ty is still running more than $87,000 ahead of 2012 collec-tions for the first five months. A large piece of this year’s increase came in the February report which reflected sales during the 2012 holiday shop-ping season.

Van Wert County has been riding a solid growth trend in terms of retail sales. The latest report marks only the sixth time in the past 38 months that tax collections have not been up over the same month the previous year. Annually, coun-ty sales tax collections have

increased from $3.28 million in 2009 to $3.64 million in 2010, $3.90 million in 2011, and $3.99 million last year. If sales in the county remain on the current pace, the county could realize a total collection in 2013 of nearly $4.2 million.

This news comes on the heels of news of a sizable drop in the county’s unemployment rate in April. The Van Wert County jobless rate fell from 7.4 percent in March to a five-year low of 6.6 percent in April. That report showed an estimated 100 fewer county workers searching for a job during April.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

KATHLEEN PARKER

Point of View

NANCY SPENCER

On theOther hand

Ah. Summer vacation.Staying up late. Sleeping in. Hangin’ out

with friends. Just doin’ nothin’.No textbooks, no homework and no

tests.Sounds like a little slice of heaven cov-

ered in whipped cream to me.As a kid, who didn’t dream about sum-

mer vacation?The last days of school were excru-

ciating. They seemed to drag on for an eternity. It was warm and we all wanted to be outside, not cooped up in a classroom being tested on how much we had paid attention during the school year.

I remember gazing out the classroom window and imagining the fun I was going to have. I lived in a neighborhood packed with kids. The possibilities were endless. The canal was always a place to spend time fishing and catching turtles and crawdads. The park was just a hop, skip and a jump across the canal and always filled with friends and activity.

Let’s not forget the pool. How we patiently waited for opening day. We’d fly up to the gates on our bicycles, trying to be the first in line. Endless days were filled with water tag and braving the high dive. I still enjoy a Charleston Chew now and then; one of my favorites at the pool.

After a quick trip home for supper, it was back to the pool for the last few hours of freedom.

And then there was the cottage. The first was at Flat Rock near Oakwood. Just a small cottage built on the banks of the river. It was two rooms with more beds than anything else. My cousin Brad and I

would take the John boat out on the river and row and row. We knew the twists and turns and channels like the back of our hands.

The second cottage was an A-frame on Bass Lake in Hillsdale, Mich. Shared with the Best family, countless memories were made. The structure was built by the hands of the two family patriarchs. The early memories are some of the best. Weekends were spent getting as much done as pos-sible before the end of that first summer.

Following summers were spent enjoying the spoils of their hard work.

Life in general was a lot simpler then. We didn’t spend a lot of time indoors and if you wanted to talk to a friend, you got on your bicycle and rode to their house and did it in person.

Watching television was a treat as mom was always shooing me outside. “It’s a nice day. Go out and play.”

We didn’t have video games, iPads, DVDs or even CDs. If you listened to music it was on the radio or American Bandstand on Saturday morning.

I don’t get a summer vacation anymore. The price you pay being an adult. Why did I ever want to grow up so fast?

JUST ATHOUGHT

by Sara Berelsman

Droning about the end of warWASHINGTON — It’s

good to know that the war on terror is finally over. It was all so ugly, what with the behead-ings and bombings.

Wait.Weren’t we just talk-

ing about the IRS targeting conservative groups and the Justice Department secret-ly seizing reporters’ phone records? Weren’t we just talk-ing about how no effort was made to rescue our people in Benghazi? The official line is that we couldn’t have gotten there in time but, as numerous military readers have pointed out to me, no one knew how long the siege would last. How, then, could anyone have known that there wasn’t time to get there? Turns out maybe, though hindsight isn’t much of a military strategy.

But, then, I am behind the news. While I was temporarily suspended in a fever-induced fugue, someone apparently changed the subject. More relevant — suddenly! — are drones, Gitmo and the end of war. Fine, then. Let’s do war. In a 7,000-word speech that has been praised as ora-tory for grown-ups (dissent-ers presumably are childish), President Obama intoned that the time has come to end the war on terror. Hear, hear.

But does saying it’s so make it so?

Surely the limbless victims of the Boston marathon bomb-ing, perpetrated by radicalized Muslims, have no such sense of the end of terror. Certainly the family of a British sol-dier recently hacked to death in a London street by rant-ing Islamist lunatics shares no such understanding of things.

Obama’s central point was that we should keep our eye on the individual or terrorist cell but end the open-ended-ness of our wartime footing.

Our postwar strategy would depend largely on the use of drone strikes — remote and tidy by usual war standards.

Most Americans, though reluctant to enthusiastically support robot-propelled weap-onry against unsuspecting strangers (aka evil-doers), support Obama’s drone policy, nonetheless. They do draw the line at killing U.S. citizens on American soil and also oppose using drones to catch speed-ers, according to polling.

It is a nice thought, the end of war. To make official our non-war stance, Obama wants to end the Authorization for Use of Military Force passed by Congress in the aftermath of the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Noting that no president can promise to end all terror, or the enmity that informs terrorism, our nation can ill-afford to continue to define itself by an endless war.

Whether the authorization should be eliminated will be debated in Congress. But lest we swoon ourselves into a state of British-style appease-ment (their solution to the recent attack is for soldiers not to wear uniforms), we should be mindful that Obama has maintained and/or ratcheted up nearly every objectionable measure instituted by his pre-decessor, George W. Bush.

Obama kept Gitmo because, like Bush, he dis-covered he couldn’t close it. He kept and boosted security measures, including increas-ing surveillance and expand-

ing law enforcement powers, even though Bush was loathed for his draconian measures.

Once during an interview, Bush told me that he had made the hard decisions and put the unpopular things in place. He promised that his successor would be grateful. “The next president will need them.”

In his speech, Obama said all the right things about how some security measures have “raised difficult ques-tions about the balance we strike between our interests in security and our values of pri-vacy.” Sounds good, but let’s be clear: Worry or not, we’ve landed on the side of further limiting liberties.

Similarly, we may end the war on terror, but we will still rain shock and awe on perceived enemies where they sleep, and — in the collateral damage we say we hate but ruefully accept — on the inno-cents sleeping nearby.

To Obama’s credit, he has ended the use of torture. We became temporarily insane after 9/11, willing to do almost anything to prevent the next attack. But torture, besides producing unreliable informa-tion, is contrary to our national soul and a blemish on our his-tory. We cannot express moral outrage at the actions of others when we are committing the morally outrageous.

Finally, to the larger point, the war on terror is not over and saying so won’t make it so. We may change our strategies, but we should not convince ourselves that our enemies are contained. Rather, they are like cicadas, rising from their subterranean berths to wreak havoc when the time is ripe. Let’s hope we’re ready when that time comes.

A good fantasy life healthy

I have a lot of fantasies.No, not those kinds of fantasies…well,

maybe those, too…but wait, I’m getting off track here. I’m talking about “practical fanta-sies.” Like having a house with two bathrooms. Those kind of fantasies.

I dream of one day living in a home in which I can use the facilities in peace without kids banging on the door. I dream that I will be able to shower from start to finish, enjoy a relaxing shower without my husband coming in and doing his business. I dream that I will, one day, have my own bathroom.

Sure, my dream might not be as noble as, say, Martin Luther King’s. But it’s my dream, just the same. It’s not my only dream, either.

I also have visions of one day living in the woods. I love our cute little house now, but I’ve always seen myself living in an old house in the woods. I just think it’d be great. I like the idea of being able to go outside without worrying what I’m wearing or who’s around. Every time we now drive by an old home with character that’s located in the woods, I stare off wistfully and picture us all living there. I can see it.

Old fireplaces really do it for me, too. If we ever move again, it’s on my wish list. I love them. I’d love to spend Christmas Eve gathered around the fireplace, roasting marshmallows and listening to Bing Crosby. Nowhere we’ve lived has had a fireplace.

There’s always the possibility of adding onto the house we’re in now…when we moved

here, we did say it was more of a “transitional home” and that we’d eventually like to make some improvements, sell it, and then maybe build. Maybe in the woods! My dad is an architect, so he’s already sketched out plans of adding onto the house – like the first week we moved in, on the back of a menu at A & W. (He’s a genius, by the way. Must be where I get it. Right?) Anyway, now it’s a matter of bringing these plans to fruition – and that’s a matter of money.

Which brings me back to my fantasies. For now, that’s all they’ll be. Hopefully someday they can be realities…just not right now.

So what are some of your home improve-ment fantasies? I think we all dream of bigger and/or better at one time or another. Unless you are the original Joneses, the ones we’re all trying to keep up with. Who am I kidding? We stopped trying to keep up with them years ago. I actually don’t think we ever tried.

So unless you already have it all, I’m sure there’s a project or two you’d like to start to improve the ol’ homestead. Why not make a plan to do it? Oh, yeah. Money. That pesky thing again. Well, if you have the money, what’s stopping you? And if you don’t have the money right now…

It’s always healthy to have a good fantasy life.

DEAR EDITOR:With a not so perfect Memorial Day behind us, and before I move on to the next activities

on the Veteran Council’s agenda, I want to extend my thanks to those many citizens who braved the cool, damp day and made time in their busy schedule to be a part of our memorial tribute to those comrades who gave there all for their country.

Additional thanks is extended to Reverand Ronald Lumm, the Mayor, Mr. Mike Gallmeier, the Police and Fire Departments, the EMS, St. John’s High School Band, the Cub Scouts, Jefferson Jr. High Band, and The Delphos Jefferson High School Band. Without these organiza-tions there would be no parade to honor our fallen heroes.

My appreciation also goes out to the men and women of the Veteran’s Council. These are the comrades who perform the veterans’ funeral services, year round, in all kinds of weather at the request of the family of a deceased veteran. These veteran members display the protocol necessary to honor all the comrades who have gone before us.

Additionally, I would like to recognize the VFW, their Color Guard and Ladies Auxiliary, the American Legion and their Ladies Auxiliary.

Other participants deserving a vote of gratitude include the individual presenters that placed flowers in remembrance of our veterans. Those individuals include American Legion Commander Larry Grothouse, Ladies Auxiliary President Sharon Miller, VFW Commander Michael Hughes, Ladies Auxiliary President Mary Grothause, Military Order of Cooties (MOC) Representative, John Williams and Richard Schuck for honoring the POW/MIA’S.

A heartfelt thanks goes out to Doug Harter Jr. who once again has filled our need for the playing of taps.

Finally on my list, are two people that made everything come together. A special thanks goes to Dave Roach, the Master of Ceremonies. Dave has managed to make sense from what I give him as well as keep the program moving. A job well done.

The final person to compliment for the successful ceremony with his thoughts was 1st Sergeant Paul Joseph, our guest speaker. His awakening remarks on, “Attrition of the Truth,” as well as where we should be, has opened peoples’ ears to today’s ways. Something going forward could become reality we may not want or expect. We must remember our history and not allow it to be rewritten.

“Lest we forget”. “Do not forget!”John GrothouseDelphos Veterans Council

DEAR EDITOR:Aug. 16, 2012, changed Scott German’s life and his family’s forever. The physical and men-

tal road to recovering from that accidental fall, which caused such devastating, traumatic brain injury, has been the most difficult work Scott has ever done in his life and one heck of a “roller coaster ride” for the rest of us.

There were so many ups and downs — getting healthy was such a huge fight with so many setbacks. Yet God heard our prayers and yours to bring Scott and all of us through one terrible ordeal after another.

The support from this community has been simply been overwhelming. How can we ever begin to thank you?

Please know that your gifts of gas cards, food cards and cash were so appreciated during these last nine months for traveling the thousands of miles back and forth to Toledo, Lima and Columbus to be with Scott and to his doctor and therapy appointments as well. The power of a loving God, the power of your prayer and your gracious, generous support will never be forgotten.

Our families continue to thank God every day for whatever you many have done for us on Scott’s long road to recovery. If you organized a fundraiser, if you prepared a meal, if you dropped cash in a donation bucket, if you purchased a dinners, if you said a prayer, if you paid a visit, if you gave a hug or words of encouragement or sent a card, we thank you from the bot-tom of our hearts. There just aren’t’ enough words to ever be able to thank you, our families, our friends, our co-workers and our employers enough. We are amazed and so blessed and we love you all.

The day we’ve been waiting on finally arrived last week — clearance from his doctor to return to work. This will be difficult and exhausting so please continue to pray for Scott. The doctors say it will take at least three to four years for his brain to completely heal but getting back to work has really made him smile.

Thanks again for your part in his recovery. From “he probably won’t live through the night” to the rapid recovery he’s made, it is truly a miracle.

Our God is an awesome God and we are witness to the miracle He has granted.Carrie and Scott German

Dear Editor,I would like to acknowledge a sincere thank you to the Delphos Veterans Council for the

veterans memorial service on Monday.Your council does itself very proud for the memorial park you planned, raised donations,

recruited volunteers until your plan reached fruition. The end product is beautiful. Many large communities couldn’t hold a candle to what your group has accomplished.

Over the years, I brought my kids to the memorial services and then my grand kids. Now we just bring ourselves.

I know many in your community respect you for your service and the honor you pay fallen heroes. I hope they will send donations to the Delphos VFW for the good work they do for Delphos and surrounding communities to honor veterans. Keep your donations local. This way you know the money actually benefits tributes for veterans and “Made in America” flags on veterans graves.

Thanks also for the luncheon after the service. The food was very good and we enjoyed the camaraderie with local veterans.

Keep up your good work.Sincerely,Mr. and Mrs. Paul WannemacherOttoville

OHIO DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCESDIVISION OF WILDLIFEWeekly Fish Ohio Fishing Report!CENTRAL OHIOBuckeye Lake (Fairfield/Licking/Perry counties) - Use

crankbaits, tubes and creature baits around Clouse Cove and Cranberry Marsh for largemouth bass; also any rip rap or woody cover. Try chicken livers on the north shore from Seller’s Point to the north boat ramp when seeking hybrid-striped bass. For bluegill, fish the eastern side of the lake using small worms and larval baits beneath a bobber. Crappie measuring 7-12 inches can be taken using minnows suspended by a bobber from shoreline areas that have submerged cover. This is also one of the region’s top lakes for carp; try prepared baits and dough balls fished along the bottom.

Griggs Reservoir (Franklin County) - This 361-acre lake in Columbus offers shore-fishing access on the east side of the lake. Largemouth and smallmouth bass are hitting right now; try plastic tubes and creature baits fished along rip rap and cover for best results. Crappie are still being found in shallow water around woody cover; use minnows or jigs suspended by a bobber fished right in the cover. Carp are large and plentiful in this local lake; use prepared baits and dough balls.

NORTHWEST OHIOLake La Su An Wildlife Area Ponds (Williams County) -

This fishery is intensively managed to maintain the harvest of large bluegill. All area lakes are open to public fishing on Fridays-Mondays until July 29; no more than 15 sunfish may be kept per day for all area lakes and no more than 5 of these may be 8 inches or more. Most anglers are having success catching the large fish but finding it difficult to catch fish less than 8 inches. Largemouth bass must be 18 inches or more to keep, with a daily bag limit of 5. For additional rules and

information, visit the Division’s webpage.Bresler Reservoir (Allen County) - Located 4 miles west of

Lima, 1 mile south of SR 81 and 1 mile north of SR 117 on Kemp and Grubb roads, this reservoir is 582 acres. Bluegill should be biting right now, with slip bobbers and jigs with wax worms usually working the best; try the east end of the north bank. Walleye can also be found; try the shoreline drop-off along the edge, as well as around the underwater island, particularly drifting or trolling worm harnesses or crankbaits in the mornings and evenings. There is a boat ramp located on the east side; boats are restricted to electric motors only. For more information or a map, check out the Division’s webpage.

Muddy Creek (Sandusky County) - Catfish should be bit-

ing the next couple of months; anglers can access the water at the SR 53 Bridge. The best successes have come from fishing chicken livers or cut bait tight-lined on the bottom.

NORTHEAST OHIOMogadore Reservoir (Portage County) - Anglers are enjoy-

ing an aggressive bluegill bite; most were catching them in deeper water in cooler temperatures but with temperatures in the 80s forecasted for the rest of the week, it might be wise to look shallower. Colored pin-mins tipped with a maggot or wax worm under a bobber should keep you busy. If bluegill move in shallower, consider a fly rod with small foam ants or little poppers for non-stop action.

Cuyahoga River (Summit County) - This runs through the Cascade Valley Park Chuckery Area which is part of the Metro Parks Serving Summit County. A short walk from the parking lot to the river puts you on instant smallmouth bass action. You can fish either upriver or downriver from that access point; waders are ideal for really working the river over. Tubes and crank baits mimicking minnows and crayfish have been producing nice catches of smallmouths, with a bonus pike here and there.

SOUTHEAST OHIOLake Snowden (Athens County) - Largemouth bass should

be moving off of spawning beds, so anglers focusing their attention offshore will begin to have success catching them using jig-‘n-pig and spinner baits. Redears will also be on and off the beds; popular with anglers at this 141-acre lake, these sunfish are partial to deep water and are most often caught around submerged structures. Try lightweight spinning gear with 4- to 6-pound test line with red/wax worms.

TIFFIN — Columbus Grove added to its list of state qualifiers Friday evening as the finals of the Division III regional at Tiffin were con-tested.

After qualifying two indi-viduals and a relay team Wednesday , the Bulldogs added to that list by picking up seven more bids on a wet Friday evening.

All but two of the quali-fications were on the boys side as the Lady Bulldogs were able to advance in three events. That gives the Bulldogs athletes in 10 events at the Division III state meet next Friday and Saturday at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium in Columbus.

Two of the events the Bulldogs advanced in Friday evening were the hurdle events as Derek Rieman advanced to state in both and Collin Grothaus picked up a second state bid in the 300 hurdles.

After a 90 minute storm delay Friday evening, Rieman picked up his first state bid when he finished second in the 110 hurdles in 14.96. Rieman finished second to Patrick Henry’s Zach Nye as he won the race in 14.56.

In the 300 hurdles, Rieman and Grothaus went two-three behind Tinora’s Robbie Wuo. Rieman finished second in the 300 hurdles with a time of 40.21 and Grothaus was third with a time of 40.35.

“It’s a perfect way to end your high school career,”

Collin Grothaus said of the two senior teammates. “It’s what you dream about, your senior year and getting to state. There’s nothing better. We are hoping to go down, perform and end the season on a high note.”

“This just shows what this senior class is all about,” Rieman said. “We’ve showed up in the NWC and PCL, dis-tricts and regionals, We have done what is expected of us. It was my goal this year to get down (to state) in both. Last year I just went in the 110s as I was fifth in the 300 hurdles by a tenth of a second. It’s been my goal to peak and get to state in both.”

Another senior picking up added duties in Columbus next week as senior dis-tance runner JAke Graham. After helping the Bulldogs’ 3200 Relay team qualifiy Wednesday, Graham won the 3200 meter run easily in a time of 9:48.22. Although Graham steadily pulled away from the field after the first two laps, he was hoping for a better time as he continues his quest to break the school record time in the event.

“I was disappointed because I’ve been running well all year, so there is no excuse not to PR. I wasn’t even close to my PR,” Graham said. “It was a lit-tle wet out, but that isnt an excuse to run nine second slower than my PR (9:39).”

Graham’s teammate Alex Shafer was looking to join him in the 3200, but came up a little short as he finished fifth in 10:07.97. Graham bypassed the 1600 meter

run earlier in the evening to stay fresh for the 3200. Sophomore Colton Grothaus ran the 1600 and finished sixth in 4:39.75.

The final qualifier for the male Bulldogs Friday night was Trevor Schroeder in the shot put. Schroeder fin-ished fourth witha top throw of 52-2 3/4. Liberty Center junior Nick Demaline won the event setting a record with a throw of 59-11 1/2.

In the high jump, fresh-man Baily Clement finished tied for ninth as he could only clear 5-10.

With their efforts over the course of the two day region-al, the Bulldogs brought home a regional champion-ship as they outscored rival Liberty-Benton 75-72.

“We knew it was going to be close. Their (Liberty-Benton) kids really per-formed well,” Grove coach Chris Grothaus said. “The bottom line is my seniors performed well. They got us off to a good start in the field events Wednesday and we had a couple of kids score some big points. Colton Grothaus scored three points in the 1600 and they were points we were not expect-ing. Trevor Schroeder had a big throw in the shot put and got us some points. It was a team effort and that is what is nice.”

Much like her male coun-terparts in the field events, Lady Bulldog junior Megan Verhoff qualified in the dis-cus with a throw of 118-1 to finish fourth.

Fish(Continued from page 6)

Muskingum River ( M u s k i n g u m / M o r g a n /Washington counties) - Late spring and early summer can be great times to fish for crap-pie in a stream. Don’t let the current deter you; just learn how to use it to your advan-tage. Crappie will find shelter from the faster water while keeping a position where they can easily feed; look for any current breaks in the water that allow a calm eddy pocket to form, such as points, rif-fles, rock piles, trees, brush, stumps or docks. Crappie will face into the current, so cast upstream and let your bait — try small jigs tipped with min-nows — drift by giving them the best chance to see it and strike. Spotted bass fishing is also popular this time of year; try small spinner baits, tube baits and crayfish-imitation baits. Spotted bass are the pre-dominant black bass here — commonly in the 8- to 13-inch range, with an occasional fish up to 15 inches; however, smallmouth and largemouth bass can also be caught. .

SOUTHWEST OHIOAdams Lake (Adams

County) - Anglers should have good success fishing from the shore line; pay careful atten-tion to the trees and weeds along the bank because fish are hitting around 18 inches deep. Bluegill and crappie can be caught on nightcrawl-ers and wax worms. This is a great place for fishing with youth.

Cowan Lake (Clinton County) - Saugeye action is heating up, with anglers tak-ing better numbers of 13- to 20-inch fish; try casting a jig tipped with a piece of night-crawler and hop it along the bottom in 5-12 feet of water near the beach. If you prefer trolling, saugeyes can be taken on shad-patterned medium- or deep-diving crank baits. A lot of 7- to 8-inch crappie are being caught on small tube jigs or minnows fished near submerged trees 6-15 feet deep. Bluegill can be caught on red/wax worms near boat docks or the edges of lily pads.

Lake Loramie (Shelby County) - Channel catfish are biting on chicken livers, shrimp, and stink baits fished on the bottom. Bluegill have been caught recently around boat docks, rip rap shorelines and along the edges of lily pads; try small jigs tipped with wax worms fished just 1-2 feet under a small bobber.

OHIO RIVERWashington County - The

Muskingum River confluence is a great area to look for catfish. Flatheads in the 20- to 30-inch range have been reeled in during previous years; try a slip rig or 3-way rig with live bluegill or live/frozen shad while tight-lining.

Meldahl Dam (Clermont County) - Channel catfish are being taken in good numbers all along the river.; try chicken livers, shrimp or nightcrawlers fished on the bottom.

LAKE ERIERegulations to

Remember: The daily bag limit for walleye on Ohio waters of Lake Erie is 6 fish per angler; the minimum size limit is 15 inches. … The daily bag limit for yellow perch is 30 fish per angler on all Ohio waters of Lake Erie. … The trout and salmon daily bag limit is 5 through August 31; the minimum size limit is 12 inches. … Black bass (large-mouth and smallmouth bass) fishing is closed to possession (no harvest) through June 28.

Steelheads: Most steel-head have nearly completed their journeys back to Lake Erie for the summer; very few fish are still in the lower por-tions of the main rivers. All steelhead have been stocked for the year; please gently release any smolts that you may catch.

Vermilion River: Fish from the Vermilion boat ramp up to State Route 2.

Rocky River: Fish from the metroparks marina to the fords.

Cuyahoga River: Fish in Cleveland Harbor, and at the Rt 82 dam.

Chagrin River: Fish from the soccer fields upstream to the SR 2.

Grand River: Fish from the Fairport breakwall up to Painesville.

Arcola Creek: Fish the river mouth, estuary and creek in the metropark.

Ashtabula River: Fish from the river mouth up through Indian Trails Park.

Conneaut Creek: Fish from the river mouth up to Creek Road.

Western Basin: Walleye fishing was excellent over the past week (as of Tuesday); the best areas were from the turnaround buoy of the Toledo shipping channel to West Sister Island, “D” can of the Camp Perry firing range and N and E of Kelleys Island. Trollers have been catching fish on worm harnesses or with divers and spoons; drift-ers are using worm harness-es with bottom-bouncers or are casting mayfly rigs. … Yellow perch was good over the past week (as of Tuesday). The best areas have been “B” can of the Camp Perry fir-ing range, E of Kelleys Island shoal and E of Kelleys Island airport reef; perch-spreaders with shiners fished near the bottom produce the most fish.

Central Basin: Walleye have been caught off Rocky River in 53 feet of water fish-ing on the bottom using worm harnesses, as well as a few off the Cleveland Crib area in 50 feet of water and also in 26-34 feet of water NW of Fairport Harbor. Anglers are trolling dipsy- and jet-divers with worm harnesses, spoons and stick baits. … Yellow perch fishing has been good (weath-er permitting) in 32-34 feet of water N off Gordon Park in Cleveland, in 42 feet of water N of the Cuyahoga River lighthouse and in 50-55 feet of water N of Mentor Lagoons. Fishing has been very good in 38-40 feet of water N of the Ashtabula and in 38-49 feet N of Conneaut; perch-spread-ers with shiners fished near the bottom produce the most fish. Shore fishing has been good off the East 55th Street and East 72nd Street piers in Cleveland; anglers are using spreaders with shiners and the mornings have been best. … Smallmouth bass fishing has been very good in 15-25 feet of water around harbor areas in Cleveland, Fairport Harbor, Geneva, Ashtabula and Conneaut. Largemouth bass are also being caught in the same areas using soft-craws, leeches, tube jigs and crank-baits. … White bass fishing has been good in the Grand River up to the Uniroyal hole. … Channel catfish has been very good along the Grand River using chicken livers and large chub.

The water temperature is 59 degrees off of Toledo and 57 degrees off of Cleveland, according to the nearshore marine forecast.

Cueto, Reds shut down Pirates 6-0

AP Sports Writer

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Johnny Cueto allowed one hit over eight dominant innings and the Cincinnati Reds beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 6-0 on Friday night.

Jay Bruce and Brandon Phillips hit solo home runs off for the Reds, who cooled of the Pirates behind their ace. Cueto (3-0) struck out six and walked one to improve to 13-4 against Pittsburgh.

Wandy Rodriguez (6-3) kept the Pirates in it even though he struggled with his command. The left-hander surrendered five hits and walked three with five strikeouts in seven innings.

The Reds broke things open with four runs off Pittsburgh reliever Mike Zagurski, a rare hiccup by baseball’s best bullpen through the first third of the season as the two rivals moved into a second-place tie behind St. Louis in the NL Central at 34-21.

While Cueto’s had his way with Pittsburgh in his 20 career starts, the Pirates have made inroads recently. They spoiled his chance at winning his 20th game in his final start last season and he left a 3-1 loss to the Pirates on April 13 with a strained back that sent him to the disabled list for a month.

He returned with five effective innings in a 4-3 victory over the New York Mets on May 20 then backed it up an even stronger performance six days later against the Chicago Cubs. He exited with a three-run lead the bullpen ultimately gave away in a 5-4 10-inning loss.

This time, Cueto hardly needed the bullpen at all. Keeping the Pirates off-balance with a steady mix of fastballs and sliders, Cueto kept one of baseball’s hottest teams in check.

‘Pa and Ma’ should count on themselves for care

Dear Annie: I am 73, and my wife is 68. We’ve been married 36 years, and we are healthy, active church-goers. My wife had two young children when we married, and our son, “Cal,” is now 34. We have helped all three of our kids finan-cially, as well as with babysitting, yard work, etc. And we are frugal, partly so we can leave as much money to the kids as possible. Like many their age, they are busy and financial-ly on the edge despite decent incomes.

Eight years ago, at retirement, we moved

across the state to be closer to my stepchil-dren to help with and be nearer to the grand-children. They are now three hours away, and although they don’t hesitate to call us to babysit, they only visit us once a year on the holi-days. Yet, they enjoy their nearby in-laws on a regular basis.

Last year, Cal moved across the country and married. At that time, his half-siblings were heard saying they “don’t need us anymore,” and in fact, my step-children recently sug-gested we move closer to Cal. While we en-joy Cal and know he would care for us, moving would be a huge expense. Moving closer to the stepchil-dren would also incur expense, but the main problem with living closer is that we are less comfortable with them. Their lives are too frenetic. We also realize that friends and neighbors in our retire-ment community are more likely to care for one another.

Should we stop be-ing so concerned with what the children need and want and put our priorities first? Do you think we are overly sensitive about them having the in-law fam-ilies nearby and there-fore not needing us? Should we stop chang-ing our busy schedules when they call to bab-ysit on short notice? –Pa and Ma

Dear Pa and Ma: If you want to live near the grandchildren, that is a valid reason to move. But please do not plan your future around which child you believe will take care of you. You don’t really know. Plan as if you had only yourself to rely on. Everything else is gravy. But if you want to see your step-grandchildren, we don’t recommend you turn down babysitting jobs if your health al-lows you to go. We know the favoritism hurts, but being jealous of the other in-laws serves no purpose.

Dear Annie: Last year, my 92-year-old mother came to live with us. It was a huge adjustment, and we have made many

changes in our life-style and living space. Mom has been diag-nosed with short-term memory loss and mild dementia. She also has some health issues.

But she is very sweet and can carry on a co-herent conver-sation.

R e c e n t l y, some friends spent time with us. The hus-band insisted that my mother is more aware than my hus-

band and I give her credit for. But he is not here when she forgets to turn the water off, puts aluminum pans in the microwave and cancels her insurance coverage. He wasn’t here when she started a fire.

I want to tell every-one who thinks they know more than the caretakers: You don’t live in the home with the elderly parent and do not know the whole story. –The Daughter

Dear Daughter: Some people feel an overwhelming need to display their “knowl-edge,” even when they are ill-informed. It is not as flattering to them as they may be-lieve.

Dear Annie: As an otolaryngologist, I could not overlook the letter from “Native New Yorker” about a hoarse and gravelly voice. While “Native” did not ask for ad-vice about the voice, I would like to tell readers who have un-explained hoarseness existing for two weeks or more to have their vocal cords examined by an ENT doctor. The problem may be quite correctable, or it may be a sign of cancer of the larynx. –Illinois Otolaryngologist

Tomorrow’s HoroscopeBy Bernice Bede Osol


SUNDAY, JUNE 2, 2013

Although you might select a course that is tough to follow in the months ahead, you’ll know better than most that it is a worthy one. Stick to your guns.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Be more selective regarding the people whom you choose to hang out with. Avoid getting involved with someone who is always stirring up trouble and blaming others.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Usually, you’re pretty good at picking a worthwhile objective, but today you might stand back and let another do the selecting. You won’t like what you end up with.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Instead of belittling someone who is trying to be productive, speak up and show him or her how to be more effective. Remember, talk is cheap but exemplary action has much to offer.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Pressure might prove fruitless when trying to get another to repay a debt. However, a softened approach, using compassion, might work.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Extra helpings of tact might be required to placate your mate. Your other choice is having a direct confrontation that will only lead to resentment.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- You are likely to have a sharp eye for spotting the mistakes of others. Unfortunately, if your comments are critical instead of constructive, they’ll arouse resentment.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- To gratify an extravagant whim, you are likely to make an expensive, unwise purchase. Oh, you’ll realize your mistake, but only after you get what you want.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You take pride in being self-reliant, yet for some reason, you may put yourself in a position where you are overly dependent on others. Be careful.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Don’t make the mistake of trying to even up an old score. You might get a lot of momentary satisfaction, but it’ll expose you to a huge counterattack.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Upon occasion, you can be overly generous to the undeserving while totally ignoring the worthy, and this could be one of those days. Strive to keep your priorities in perspective.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- An objective that you’ve been knocking yourself out to reach is likely to be of little value once it’s attained. Before you expend any additional effort, reassess its true

value.TAURUS (April 20-May

20) -- If you allow your emotions to override your common sense, you’ll become more confused than you already are. Use your head.

MONDAY, JUNE 3, 2013

Don’t be too quick to write off situations that start off on a sour note in the coming months. Life has a funny way working, and it could be working in your favor.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- By thinking things through to their conclusions, you will gain a sense of security. This will allow you to make your moves with confidence.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- When you and your mate have a common objective, the probability of achieving it are excellent. The secret is to work together in harmony.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- A promising trend is taking place, so you should be alert for opportunities. One could be especially significant to your financial situation.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Your popularity is ascending, producing benefits of a tangible and intangible nature. Try to take advantage of everything.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- You have a marvelous knack of bringing out the best in colleagues. You will inspire the insecure and engender success wherever you go.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- There is plenty of justification

for your optimism about a big project. You have the ability to pull it off, and Lady Luck might give you a boost as well.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Although a financial opportunity might not look good at first glance, on closer study you could find the chances for growth to be quite substantial.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Because you recently were considerate enough to look out for another person’s interest, he or she will make every effort to return the favor.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- The rewards you seek will be more gratifying if you deal with persons who possess a traditional outlook rather than with those who are too progressive or avant-garde.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- You could get involved in a development that will require some serious effort on your part. Find a way to turn it around and you’ll gain some important supporters.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You’ll be thinking clearly today, and you shouldn’t have any trouble making some big accomplishments. This is a good time to focus on meaningful goals.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- If you deal with your subordinates in a thoughtful manner, you should have a pretty easy row to hoe. With solid teamwork behind you, you’ll go far. COPYRIGHT 2013 United Feature Syndicate, Inc.

Library gearing up for summer programs for children and adults“Dig into Reading” is what the library hopes the Delphos

Community will do this summer. The library staff is plan-ning activities for this year’s program which will run from June 10th through July 19th. Sign up begins on June 4th with games and activities planned from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The fol-lowing weeks there will be story times and activities for each different age group.

New this year is an adult summer reading program that

will feature “Library Bingo.” This program allows adults to become involved with services and activities at the library as well as be eligible for prizes. Stop by the library for more details on both the children’s and adult programs.

Adults also have the opportunity to join the “Page Turners” Book Club which meets the second Saturday of each month (excluding August) at the library.

For more information contact the library.We encourage everyone to join the fun at the library and

“Dig into Reading.”The following DVD’s have been added to the collection

this month:Amazing RacerCharlie: A Toy StoryDjango UnchainedThe DetailsEarly Bird Baking: Breakfast Baking at HomeThe Guilt TripThe ImpossiblePromised LandSafe HavenSaving WinstonSid the Science Kid: The MovieSilver Linings PlaybookVeggie Tales: Larry Boy and the Bad AppleVideo Bread: How to Bake Bread at HomeMusic CD’s added this month:Michael Buble- To Be LovedKenny Chesney- Life on a RockLady Antebellum- GoldenBlake Shelton- Based on a True StoryRod Stewart-TimeFictionMickey and Willie: Mantle and Mays, the Parallel Lives

of Baseball’s Golden Age by Allen BarraCulturally, Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays were light-

years apart. Yet they were nearly the same age and almost the same size, and they came to New York at the same time. They possessed virtually the same talents and played the same posi-tion. They were both products of generations of baseball-play-ing families, for whom the game was the only escape from a lifetime of brutal manual labor. Both were nearly crushed by the weight of the outsized expectations placed on them, first by their families and later by America. Both lived secret lives far different from those their fans knew. What their fans also didn’t know was that the two men shared a close personal friendship—and that each was the only man who could truly understand the other’s experience.

During his storied career as head coach of the Chicago Bulls and Los Angeles Lakers, Phil Jackson won more cham-pionships than any coach in the history of professional sports.

Even more important, he succeeded in never wavering from coaching his way, from a place of deep values. This is the story of a preacher’s kid from North Dakota who grew up to be one of the most innovative leaders of our time. In his quest to reinvent himself, Jackson explored everything from humanistic psychology and Native American philosophy to Zen meditation. In the process, he developed a new approach to leadership based on freedom, authenticity, and selfless teamwork that turned the hyper-competitive world of profes-sional sports on its head.

Cronkite’s War: His World War II Letters Home by Walter Cronkite IV

A giant in American journalism in the vanguard of “The Greatest Generation” reveals his World War II experiences in this National Geographic book. Walter Cronkite, an obscure 23-year-old United Press wire service reporter, married Betsy Maxwell on March 30, 1940, following a four-year courtship. She proved to be the love of his life, and their marriage lasted happily until her death in 2005. But before Walter and Betsy Cronkite celebrated their second anniversary, he became a credentialed war correspondent, preparing to leave her behind to go overseas. The couple spent months apart in the summer and fall of 1942, as Cronkite sailed on convoys to England and North Africa across the submarine-infested waters of the North Atlantic. After a brief December leave in New York City spent with his young wife, Cronkite left again on assign-ment for England. This time, the two would not be reunited until the end of the war in Europe. Cronkite would console himself during their absence by writing her long, detailed let-ters — sometimes five in a week — describing his experiences as a war correspondent, his observations of life in wartime Europe, and his longing for her.

answers his doorbell. The next thing he knows, he’s waking up on the floor of a moving car, lying on a plastic sheet, his body wet with blood.

Davenport is investigating another case when the trail leads to the man’s disappearance, then—very troubling—to the Minneapolis police department, then—most troubling of all—to a woman who could give Machiavelli lessons. She has very definite ideas about the way the world should work, and the money, ruthlessness, and sheer will to make it happen.

IRS video shows employees dancingAssociated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — In the lat-est black eye for the Internal Revenue Service, the agency provided Congress on Friday with another video featuring its employees, this one showing about a dozen of them line dancing on a stage.

The video of the IRS workers prac-ticing their dance moves, which lasts just under three minutes, comes weeks after it was revealed that agency workers produced two other videos parodying the “Star Trek” and “Gilligan’s Island” TV shows.

The latest recording cost about $1,600 and was produced to be shown at the end of a 2010 training and leadership confer-ence held in Anaheim, Calif., said IRS spokeswoman Michelle Eldridge. At a time when most government agencies are coping with across-the-board spending cuts by furloughing workers and find-ing other savings, that conference has become the target of a report a Treasury inspector general plans to release next week.

The report, called “Collected and Wasted: The IRS Spending Culture and Conference Abuses,” will be the subject of a hearing Thursday by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, that panel said Friday.

The IRS is also under fire by lawmak-

ers and the Obama administration for targeting conservative groups applying for tax-exempt status for tough scrutiny between 2010 and 2012. That screen-ing, revealed May 10, has led President Barack Obama to replace the agency’s acting chief, and two other top officials have also stepped aside.

All three videos were provided in response to a request by a senior member of the House Ways and Means Committee, Rep. Charles Boustany, R-La.

“The outrage toward the IRS is only growing stronger,” said Boustany, who chairs the Ways and Means oversight subcommittee. “Clearly this is an agency where abuse and waste is the norm and not the exception.”

In a written statement, the IRS said the video was “unacceptable and an inappro-priate use of government funds.” It said the agency has new policies in place “to ensure that taxpayer funds are being used appropriately.”

Eldridge said the dance video was recorded at IRS offices in New Carrollton, Md., outside Washington, D.C.

In the video, various workers com-ment as colleagues practice their dancing in the background to music that sounds like “Cupid Shuffle,” a 2007 hit by the performer Cupid. In the version obtained by The Associated Press, IRS employees’ names have been erased.

At one point, one woman says, “And I thought doing the ‘Star Trek’ video was humiliating.”

That Star Trek video was produced for the same 2010 conference. The agency called the Star Trek video, which last-ed six minutes and featured employees dressed as characters from the popular show, a mistake.

The Star Trek and Gilligan’s Island videos cost about $60,000 combined to make, the IRS said in March.

The Gilligan’s Island parody was used at the beginning of a 12-hour video the IRS used in 2011 to train its workers on various tax issues, Eldridge said. The entire video was used to train 1,900 workers who assist taxpayers over the phone and in offices around the country, she said.

In a separate statement, Danny Werfel, the IRS’ new acting commissioner, called the 2010 conference “an unfortunate ves-tige from a prior era.”

He added, “While there were legiti-mate reasons for holding the meeting, many of the expenses associated with it were inappropriate and should not have occurred.”

Werfel said the IRS has since insti-tuted spending restrictions that include scaling back travel and training expenses by more than 80 percent since 2010.

Tornado hits Oklahoma City area in Plains outbreak

Associated Press

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — A violent storm formed over the prairie west of Oklahoma City late Friday afternoon, dropped a tornado in a suburb and rolled toward the state capital as viewers brave enough to remain above ground watched on statewide television.

Storm chasers with cam-eras in their car transmitted video showing a number of funnels dropping from the supercell thunderstorm as it passed south of El Reno and toward downtown Oklahoma City. Police urged motorists to leave the crosstown Interstate 40 and seek a safe place.

The scene was eerily like

that from last week, when blackened skies generated a top-of-the-scale EF5 storm with 210 mph winds, kill-ing 24 people at Moore, on Oklahoma City’s south side. However, Friday’s storm appeared to be not as strong — and it was moving north of the hard-hit community.

“They’re just tooling around right now. They’re starting to dissipate a little bit,” said Nick Mosley, who works at the Love’s Travel Stop in El Reno. Motorists packed the store as the storm approached.

Damage was reported in Canadian County, immedi-ately to the west of the capital city. There were no immediate reports of injuries.

Huysman(Continued from page 1)

Huysman coached junior high football and was an assistant high school base-ball coach during his first teaching years. He was made faculty manager in 1976 and in 1983, he became athletic director, a job he kept for 16 years. He was named assis-tant principal in 1989 and then principal in 2000.

The final position at his alma mater hasn’t been with-

out some trials.“The discipline is what

I hated the most,” he said. “Kids make mistakes but they have to learn from them. You just can’t forget you were a student once and remember what it was like.”

Advice he would like to pass along to his predecessor.

“He should just be him-self and understand he was a student once and under-stand what they are going through,” he said. “We only

have them for seven hours and then they go out in to the world.”

A world Huysman said is moving a little too fast for his liking.

“Technology is amazing. There is so much. If it’s used the right way it can be won-derful but if not, you have problems,” he said. “It’s just moving too fast. I’m glad to leave it to someone young-er. It’s time for a younger administration.”

Huysman will spend the next month packing away his memorabilia. July 1, a Monday, will be the test.

“I’m used to being here. It will be an adjustment,” he said. “I’ll miss it but St. John’s will always hold a special place for me. It’s time to take a deep breath and see what I want to do next. I haven’t really made plans because they may not fit. You just never know.”
