Businessowner talks about increased patrol presenceBY NANCY SPENCER

DHI Media [email protected]

DELPHOS — The increased presence of Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers in Delphos in the last few months was the hot topic at the Delphos City Council meeting Monday.

John Lehmkuhle, owner of The Smoking Chrome Saloon in downtown Delphos. and one of his employees, Taylor Kehres, addressed council, alleg-ing instances of abuse of power.

“The highway patrol is circling the block my business is in constantly in the evenings. I’ve seen them go by as many as 21 times in one night,” Lehmkuhle said. “They are stopping a lot of people and if they don’t give them an OVI, they let them go. They don’t even charge them for what they stopped them for.”

Lehmkule said what he called harass-ment was affecting his business as well as the residents of Delphos.

Councilman Joe Martz said he was going to bring the matter up to his fellow

councilman that evening as well.“I’ve had half a dozen people talk to

me about unfair treatment,” Martz said. “They are pulling a lot of people over. I support law enforcement but I think there might be some abuse going on here. They are nice to have around but not when they are abusing their author-ity.”

Councilmen Del Kemper said he had also heard complaints.

“I’ve gotten this complaint sever-al times and it seems the residents of Delphos are being targeted by the Ohio State Highway Patrol and the Allen County Sheriff’s Office,” Kemper said.

Councilman Tom Grothous asked if someone from the patrol might be asked to come in and state their position on what they are doing.

Mayor Michael Gallmeier told coun-cil the OSHP has jurisdiction throughout the state and that they were not overstep-ping their boundaries by their presence in town.

JENNINGS — It was Saturday night and Dr. Wesley Klir stood in the parking lot of Memorial Hall as the bells of St. Joseph Catholic Church tolled eight times. Klir glanced up at the looming building and the cloud-heavy sky, shredded with varying hues of dark and light grey, that served as its backdrop. Behind him, a team of 13 black-clad men and women bristling with high-tech electronics — ghost hunters — climbed from two long, black, anonymous vans to rank themselves with near-military precision at his back.

As the group mounted a set of concrete stairs on the west side of the building, pale lightning flickered high in the clouds and a sparse, cold rain pattered down. At the door, Klir fitted key to lock as inside the building an eerie blue light began to pulse like a slow-beating heart. Klir hesitated and looked around to the team of grim-faced men and women assembled behind him. No one said a word. No one needed to…

No. Wait. Stop. That’s not really how events played out.Yes, Saturday’s sky above Fort Jennings was ripe with grey

clouds, but there was no lightning and it never rained. And the doors on the west side of the building — two of them — are solid steel. From that vantage, no one could see any kind of light inside Memorial Hall, eerie blue or otherwise. And, yes, an organized ghost hunt was conducted, but the team and their guides were as far from nervous and worried about the night’s coming events as is humanly possible.

“People enjoyed celebrations here and they enjoyed the best times of their lives here; they were celebrated in this building,” Klir said by way of introduction to the building. “And to me, if there’s anything here, something just stuck around because they were having a good time.”

ARCHBOLD — More than 100 antique automobiles will be on display at Sauder Village on May 21 for the 7th Annual Antique Car Gathering. Antique car col-lectors from throughout the Midwest are planning to dis-play their antique automobiles at Ohio’s largest living-history village for guests of all ages to see. Guests will also have a chance to ride in and even drive an antique – making this car show extra special again this year.

Sauder Village offers a unique backdrop for collec-tors to share their vintage cars

with others. Again this year car enthusiasts are coming from Ohio, Michigan and Indiana to display their antique auto-mobiles in the historic village featuring more than 40 historic homes, shops and community buildings.

“The cars on display at Sauder Village will be from a much earlier time period than some car shows since we require every car to be older than 1942,” shared Kim Krieger, Media Relations. “Some cars will even date back to the early 1900s – mak-ing this show quite unique!”

From a 1906 Cadillac Model M Surrey and a 1916 Reo MG Touring to a 1928

Rolls Royce and a 1942 Willys WWII Jeep … there will be a wide variety of unique automobiles on display again this year. Throughout the day guests will be able to look at the cars and visit with car owners. Many exhibitors plan to give demonstrations and will be available to answer questions about these unique vehicles. Throughout the afternoon, guests will have an opportunity to take a ride in an antique car and there will be a special drawing for one adult to win a chance to actu-ally drive a car! Activities will take place throughout the day, weather permitting, and some are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

In addition to the display of antique cars, guests will certainly want to plan time to experience the past in the Historic Village. Visitors can

learn about the daily lives of the Native Americans in the award-winning Natives and Newcomers area and visit places like the Witmer-Roth home and Holdeman Church at Pioneer Settlement. The newly-renovated Grime Homestead is a fun place to experience life in the 1920s and the new gallery exhibits in the Museum Building are a great place to learn about founder Erie Sauder and agri-culture in Ohio. Guests with young children are encour-aged to stop by Little Pioneers Homestead to gather eggs and “milk” the fiberglass cow and everyone should plan to take a ride on the “Erie Express” or the horse and buggy.

Historic Sauder Village is open Tuesday through Friday from 10 a.m.-3:30 p.m., Saturday from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. and each Sunday afternoon

from noon-4 p.m. The Historic Village is closed on Mondays, except holidays. Admission is $16 for adults and $10 for students ages 6-16. Children 5 and under are always free with family and Sauder Village members receive free admis-sion to the Historic Village for an entire year. And again this year, children 16 and under are free every Sunday this season!

Delphos FFA attends State FFA ConventionInformation submitted

COLUMBUS — Delphos FFA members recently attended the 88th annual State FFA Convention in Columbus. During the 2-day trip, members participated in Career Development Events, listened to outstanding motivational speakers, toured Wilson Football Company and received recognition for their accomplish-ments. They were recognized for being a gold-rated chapter for their contributions to the Ohio FFA foundation and chapter trust program. Evan Krites was recognized as a gold-medal treasurer, Asya Hamilton as a gold-medal secretary and Kylie White as a gold-metal reporter. Also during the trip, they volunteered at the Lifeline Christian Mission Center in downtown Columbus, pack-ing clothing and food items to be shipped to Haiti.

Members attending the convention were Kylie White, Alesha Harshman, Viktoria Brunswick, Tatiana Olmeda, Kaelin Anders, Sarah Cline, Jenny Ditto, Meghan Ream, Maggie Ream, Mykenah Jackson, Riley Claypool, Evan Krites, Cody Wright, Brent Buettner, Cole Reindel, Caleb Haunhorst, Austin Lucas, Colin White and Emily Buettner.

Three students received their State FFA Degree. The state Degree is the highest degree that a member can earn on the state level. The Degree was awarded to less than 1 percent of the Ohio FFA’s 25,000 members. In order to earn this degree, students are evaluated on the scope and size of the Supervised Agricultural Experience Program (SAE), FFA involvement, community ser-vice and academic record. All components have minimum stan-dards and all must be met in order to earn the degree. Students that attended convention to earn their degrees were honored among the top in the state.

Members in attendance at the FFA State Convention include, front from left, Kylie White, Alesha Harshman, Viktoria Brunswick, Tatiana Olmeda, Kaelin Anders, Sarah Cline, Jenny Ditto, Meghan Ream, Maggie Ream and Mykenah Jackson; and back, Riley Claypool, Evan Krites, Cody Wright, Brent Buettner, Cole Reindel, Caleb Haunhorst, Austin Lucas, Colin White and Emily Buettner.

OHSAA members pass 18 itemsInformation Submitted

COLUMBUS — Ohio High School Athletic Association member schools passed all 18 proposed Constitution and Bylaw revi-sions, Commissioner Daniel B. Ross, Ph.D., announced Tuesday, following the ballot counting procedure conduct-ed at the OHSAA office.

The approved changes, which include 17 for high schools and one for 7th-8th grade schools, will go into effect Aug. 1 unless other-wise noted.

A simple majority is all that is required for a proposed amendment to be adopted.

The OHSAA’s annual ref-erendum voting period began May 1 and ballots were due by 4 p.m. Monday. Each member school has one vote, which is cast by the principal. After 821 ballots were mailed to member high schools in late April, 608 valid ballots were returned for a voter turn-out of 74 percent. There are 895 member 7th-8th grade schools, with 441 returning their ballot (49 percent).

Administrative Error (amend note)

This proposed revision in the note clarifies that students who do not meet the scholarship standard will not be considered substantively eligible.

573 in favor; 24 opposed2.) Bylaw 4-2-3, Age (8th

Grade Students Who Reach Age 15 by August 1)

This proposed revision pro-vides a choice for an eighth grade student who turns 15 by August 1 of the ensuing school year to: a.) remain in grade eight and not participate due to not meet-ing the age bylaw or b.) begin high school participation at the school where he or she would be expected to enroll in grade 9. Should the student choose the latter, the eight-semester bylaw would apply, meaning the stu-dent would not be eligible for interscholastic athletics in grade 12.

462 in favor; 142 opposed (604 schools voted on this item)

3.) Bylaw 4-3-1, Enrollment and Attendance

This proposed revision is to delete Exceptions 3 (com-munity schools) and 7 (STEM schools) since current Exception 8 already refers to an exception for those students (“Unless oth-erwise mandated within the Ohio Revised Code.”).


4.) Bylaw 4-3-3, Enrollment and Attendance (New Exception)

This proposed revision is to add an exception that would allow the Commissioner’s Office to evaluate requests for addi-tional semesters of eligibility on a case-by-case basis when a student is placed back into the appropriate high school grade when entering a school in the

United States for the first time.531 in favor; 68 opposed

(599 schools voted on this item)5.) Bylaw 4-3-7, Enrollment

and Attendance (Revised Exception)

This proposed revision mod-ifies the exception for students

who have been educated in a system outside the United States and have not met the substan-tive academic requirements of the NCAA initial eligibility center in regard to high school graduation but may be declared eligible at an OHSAA member school at the discretion of the Commissioner’s Office.


6.) Bylaw 4-4-1, Scholarship (Adds Notes)

This proposed revision adds notes to clarify what standards must be met for home educat-ed students to gain eligibility for interscholastic athletics and disallows a student who fails a course or was not enrolled in a course during the grading peri-od to retroactively use such a course to fulfill the scholarship requirement.


7.) Bylaw 4-7-2, Transfer (Amends Definition of the 50 Percent Sitout Penalty)

Local action

Major League Baseball’s first managing casualty is Fredi Gonzalez, fired Tuesday by the Atlanta Braves.

It goes to show that sometimes — some-times? — professional sports are a blood sport.

He gets blamed for a team that is in total — I mean TOTAL — rebuilding mode.

They make the Cincinnati Reds look like they are seeking to compete for a World Series title this year!

The powers-that-be gave Gonzalez a team that might struggle in Triple A, that is how total of a rebuild they are on.

How that can be his fault? He is managing the team he had to put together from the play-ers the front office and player personnel gave him in spring training.

This is not a Bill Belichick situation, where he brings in the talent and has almost total control of his roster.

Their powers-that-be basically traded away anyone that was any good in the off-season or last season and they are left with pros-pects — yes, there’s that word again, all of us Reds’ fans — that are clearly not ready for primetime action, or veterans that clearly are past their primes and not what they used to be.

Seems to me they fired the wrong people,

especially in this day and age of sabermetri-cians and all the numbers gurus in baseball these days.

They should know better, shouldn’t they?The ridiculous thing is that they are build-

ing a new stadium to replace Turner Field, which really isn’t that old.

Braves’ fans — even in the heyday of Bobby Cox’s teams that made the playoffs 14 years in a row or so in the 1990s and 2000s — never really did come out in droves, outside of perhaps the playoffs.

Now they are going into a new stadium with a team that won’t be competitive — at the present way of doing things — for a while.

Wonder what their ticket prices will be?All this may be a warning lesson for Reds

manager Bryan Price.

Manz, timely hitting pace Lady Panthers by Rams in tourney

BY JIM METCALFEDHI Media Sports Editor

[email protected]

BATH TOWNSHIP — Timely hitting.

That was the differ-ence between Paulding and Tinora Tuesday afternoon in Division III District softball action at Bath High School.

The Lady Panthers got it and the Lady Rams didn’t as the Panthers grabbed a 4-2 triumph.

Paulding (12-9) advanc-es to take on today’s Allen East-Bluffton winner 5 p.m. Friday back at Bath.

The Panthers won a pitchers’ duel between com-plete-game hurlers Audrey Manz and Tinora’s (16-4) Ashton Helmke.

Tinora also left 10 run-ners on base, including the bases loaded in the bottom of the third and the sixth, to Paulding’s six.

“I’m not so sure Audrey could have done that ear-lier this season. She com-peted and that’s all we’ve told her all season; compete out there,” Paulding coach Matt Carr explained. “That’s something to pitch out of two

bases-loaded jams like that. We really got some timely hits and getting those two runs in the fifth were really big. We have four or five freshmen we brought up for our tournament roster and they bring so much energy and enthusiasm and that’s how we played today; I’m so proud of our 18 girls.”

Tinora assistant coach Corey Hale agreed with Carr’s assessment.

“Manz did a heck of a job keeping us off-balance. When she had to bear down, she did something different and our batters stuttered at the plate and we could not get the big hit,” Hale added. “We didn’t get any until we were down four. The good thing is we are a young team, with half our lineup freshmen and sophomores. This is a good learning experience and once we get through this, I hope we come back for a long run next season.”

Paulding struck first in the top of the first on a leadoff single by Kelsey Beck, a steal and a 1-out knock by Haylee Dominique.

Tinora got runners to sec-ond and third with two outs in

the bottom half on a single by Kaitlyn Pscodna and a double

by Allison Zipfel.After the Panthers left a

runner on in the second, they got a 1-out solo blast to left by Beck for a 2-0 lead in the third.

Paulding got two huge insurance runs in the top of the fifth. With one out, Karissa Lucas and Asia Arellano singled and Beck walked to load the bases. A wild pitch brought Lucas in and a slice to center got Arellano in for a 4-0 advantage.

Paulding left two batters on in the sixth and seventh inning in an effort to extend the lead.

I don’t believe they intend to fire him — after all, he is in the same boat as Gonzalez as far as the pitching, plus they have had a ridic-ulous amount of injuries to that staff (perhaps because too many of them might not be ready for the majors and are forced to pitch above

their heads).Plus, the owner, Bob Castellini, doesn’t

necessarily want to be paying Price’s salary, along with that of a new manager.

Still, in this day and age, if the fans’ ire continues to grow — as it will should they keep on their present losing ways — well … remember what I wrote about blood sports?


Tinora tried to rally in the seventh. Quinn Slattman had a 1-bounce double to the fence in left and Alexis Metz grounded a hit into left and promptly advanced on a wild pitch. Slattman scored on a 1-out sacrifice fly to center by Zipfel and Metz reached third, from which she scored on a single to center by Helmke. However, Manz induced a comebacker by Jenna Seither to end the game.

a loophole that was present. Transfer students not meeting an exception are ineligible for all contests until after the first 50 percent of the max-imum allowable regular season contests in those sports in which the student participated during the 12 months immediately preceding the transfer. The revision would clarify that once eligibility is restored, the student shall be eligible for no more than 50 percent of the maximum allowable con-tests, quarters, halves or points which are permitted in any recognized sport.


8.) Bylaw 4-7-2, Transfer, Exception 1 (Modification)

The modification would provide parents of stu-dents, whose parents have made a bona fide move of at least 100 miles, the opportunity to choose a school for their children to attend that best meets the child’s educational needs whether the school is public or non-public. In addition, if both parents have not made the move, extenuating circumstanc-es presented that would prevent one parent from making the move immediately would allow for conditional eligibility for up to 90 days, and that provision could be extended if medical or military obligations prevent the move by one parent.


9.) Bylaw 4-7-2, Transfer, Exception 2 (Clarification)

This proposed revision would clarify that the change of custody must be between two parents/individuals who live in two different school dis-tricts.



This proposed revision would clarify that the entire educational program is being referenced and not just the interscholastic athletics program.



This proposed revision would clarify that the OHSAA would only consider students for the waiver when the family’s home is actually under construction or the appropriate paperwork has been submitted that is prescribed by law to verify the home purchase. Eligibility would then be extended for 90 days only after which time the family must be in residence in the home and submit the affi-davit of bona fide residence in order to preserve eligibility.


12.) Bylaw 4-7-2, Transfer, Exception 7 (Modification)

This proposed revision to the exception for students who are victims of harassment, intimida-tion or bullying would reinforce the notion that all claims must be memorialized in writing or in some mediated format to representatives of the school

district where the alleged harassment, intimidation or bullying took place.



This proposed revision adds the word “mem-ber” before “school.” This eliminates the use of this exception for students who attend community schools that offer and then discontinue their inter-scholastic athletics programs.


14.) Bylaw 4-7-4, Intra-District Transfer (Adds Notes)

This proposed revision adds notes to bring clarity to the exceptions and makes them consistent with the inter-district exceptions found in Bylaw 4-7-2.


15.) Bylaw 4-8-1, International Students (Note added to Exception 1)

This proposed revision adds a note to Exception 1 to clarify that when parents move to the United States and into Ohio from another country, both parents are required to make the move and Bylaw 4-7-2 is in play.


16.) Bylaw 5-1-1, Awards, Gifts and Prizes (Clarifications and Modification)

This proposed revision clarifies that the bylaw applies to students whether the student is partic-ipating for the school or not. It also clarifies that not all items received are awards but may also be gifts and prizes. In addition, the value of the award, gift or prize that the student may accept has been raised to $400.


17.) Bylaw 8-3-1, Decisions by Officials (Addition of Note)

This proposed revision adds a note that autho-rizes the Commissioner’s Office to consider the use of any reliable, probative and substantial evidence to correct the misidentification of a participant who has been ejected for the second time when such ejection results in the ineligibility for the remainder of the sports season.


7th-8th Grade Schools895 7th-8th school ballots were mailed, 441

ballots were returned (49 percent) including 11 invalid

18.) Bylaw 4-3-4, Enrollment and Attendance (New Exception) - to be voted upon by 7th-8th grade principals.

This proposed revision adds an exception for middle school students who are severely disabled, tracks the exception that is available for high school students and would provide additional eligi-bility opportunities.

BearcatsSPENCERVILLE — The Spencerville var-

sity softball team was defeated by Paulding in Northwest Conference softball action Monday night at Spencerville 6-5 in extra innings.

The Bearcats fall to 11-12 (4-4 NWC) on the season .

Paulding improves to 11-9 (4-4 NWC) on the season.

Paulding took an early 5-0 lead in the sec-ond inning after a leadoff error on a ground ball, a fly ball to right field and a groundout fielder’s choice; the Panthers strung together three of their five total hits after two outs in the inning.

Spencerville bounced back in the bottom of the third inning with leadoff walk to Alex Shumate and a groundout by leadoff hitter Bailey Swartz. Destiny Price stroked a double

to score courtesy runner Haley Cobb. Kara May drove in her school single-season record 42nd RBI of the season with a single and Julie Mulholland followed with an RBI single of her own to pull the Bearcats within 5-3.

From there, Bearcat senior pitcher Shumate and her defense settled in to shut down the Paulding offensive attack with five straight scoreless innings.

During that span, Paulding could only muster two singles, while Shumate struck out four.

In the home half of the fifth inning, the Bearcats tied the game at 5-5 with a leadoff bunt single by Bailey Swartz, an RBI triple by Destiny Price and a sac fly by May.

From there, Paulding’s defense shut down the Bearcats to two more singles and three strikeouts.

With one out in the eighth, Paulding had a hard-hit ground ball shot off the Bearcat first baseman’s knee, the next Panther batter hit a high fly ball to right field that was misplayed, allowing the winning run to score from sec-ond.

The Bearcats’ comeback effort in the home half came up a little short when catcher Jenna Henline doubled to left field but was stranded there to end the game.

Practical Money

Getting your finances ready for adoptionBY NATHANIEL SILLIN

The decision to start a family is a joyful event. However, parents consider-ing adoption should consider advance planning for a range of financial issues unique to the process and the child they hope to bring into their home.

According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the costs of adopting (https://www.child-welfare.gov) may be a few hundred dollars or can easily exceed $40,000 based on the form of adoption you choose.

So how do you get your finances ready for adop-tion? By doing your homework and making sure the price and pro-cessing work of adoption – all adoption resourc-es, rules and r e q u i r e m e n t s differ locally – won’t eclipse other essential financial goals like retirement, sav-ing for your future child’s education and, of course, the higher daily living expenses common to all new families. Start with these tips:

Evaluate your own financ-es first. It’s generally a good idea to work with qualified financial or tax experts to evaluate whether you can manage adoption costs from savings or grants you don’t have to pay back. Starting a family is a major over-all financial commitment no matter what path you take to build yours.

Know the tax benefits of adoption. The federal gov-ernment offers tax breaks for adoption but you need to study and follow the rules. According to the IRS, tax benefits for adoption include both a tax credit for quali-fied adoption expenses paid to adopt an eligible child and an exclusion from income for employer-provided adoption assistance. The credit is non-refundable, meaning that it is limited to one’s tax liabil-ity for the year. Any credit in excess of tax liability may be carried for up to five years. Adoptions of special-needs children may qualify for spe-cial treatment. Visit IRS.gov for more details.

Check your workplace benefits. A 2013 Aon Hewitt study said only 12 percent

of U.S. employers offered a financial adoption benefit in 1990 rising to 52 percent. Check with your employer to see whether they offer adop-tion benefits and factor those benefits into your overall financial plan.

Know your legal costs. Adoption is a legal process and depending on the kind of adoption process you pursue, it is wise to work with an attorney to make sure your application is in order and your rights are being pro-tected.

Think about insurance. Life and health insurance options need to be reviewed for cost and thorough-ness of coverage before you begin the adoption pro-cess. Life insur-ance may come up as part of the estate-plan-ning process,but health insurance in particular requires special

consideration in case the child you plan to adopt has medical or develop-mental needs.

Evaluate available adop-tion grants. Various commu-nity groups, religious organi-zations and nonprofit organi-zations and foundations may be a resource of grant fund-ing for the adoption process. Work with trusted advisors to find out if these resources are reliable and could help you afford your adoption.

Network and learn. Many communities and organiza-tions sponsor support and planning groups for parents of adopted kids and those planning to adopt. Depending on the adoption avenue you’re considering, make it a point to get to know parents who have already gone through the process to understand all sides of what their lives as adoptive parents are like – make your learning process about more than the money.

Bottom line: Adoption is one of life’s most rewarding events. The amount of finan-cial planning you can do to support your adoption pro-cess will help give your new family the best possible start.

The Beach BoysAh, the Sounds of Summer…“Wouldn’t It Be Nice” (#8 single September

1966) to spend a few “EndlessSummer” (#1 compilation album 1974) days

listening to the “Good Vibrations”(#1 single December 1966) of one of

America’s great bands, The Beach Boys.In my comeuppance, I was lucky to have older

siblings with impeccable musical taste. Music was nearly always in the air those early days and perhaps no band caught the attention of my ears more so than The Beach Boys. I simply couldn’t then, and haven’t now, gotten enough of the sim-ple tempo, gorgeous harmony of these guys.

Brothers Brian, Dennis and Carl Wilson along with cousin Mike Love and friend Al Jardine (Brian’s high school football teammate) brought the sound of Southern Cal surf music to the mainstream pop scene in the early 1960s. I can remember thinking the world stood still as I drove (ink not yet dry on my new drivers license) around (1975) listening to the Beach Boys Endless Summer 8-track tape. (And the music was from 1961-63!)

A few other good memory reminders:Kokomo #1 1988Help Me, Rhonda #1 1965I Get Around #1 1964California Girls #3 1965Be True To Your School #6 1963Do It Again #20 1968In My Room #23 1963God Only Knows #39 1966Good Timin’ #40 1979Little Deuce Coupe #15 1963Make no mistake the songsmith genius of

Brian Wilson provided much of the “great” in the

body of work from this American band. Much has been written regarding the mental health struggle of Brian Wilson and understanding his journey is perhaps best depicted in the 2015 biop-ic “Love & Mercy” starring John Cusack.

Wilson shared in a recent interview with Billboard; “I am proud that I have survived, proud that I have weathered not just one storm, but a lifetime of storms.”

Years from now pop music history will flash back smiling to the days of The Beach Boys music. Brian Wilson may have summed it up best (1988 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame speech) “I wanted to make joyful music that made other people feel good”. Thanks Brian Wilson and you can be certain that you’ve succeeded again and again and again. Good Vibrations.

The challenge working parents face in maintaining work-life balance is often compared to a juggling act. Finding time together, espe-cially on weeknights when family sched-ules tend to be hectic, is no small task.

But finding time together, particularly at the dinner table, can pay a host of div-idends. According to the Family Dinner Project, studies have linked regular family dinners with higher grade-point averages and self-esteem in children, as well as lower rates of obesity and eating disorders in both children and adolescents.

Cook, writer, ac-tivist and mother of two Katie Workman knows full well how difficult it can be to make nightly din-ners together part of a family’s routine. But Workman, whose latest book, “Dinner Solved!” (Workman Publishing), provides 100 family-friendly recipes and varia-

tions to ensure that everyone at the table is happy, relishes the opportunity to help others make family dinners a fun part of their nightly routines.

“Many of us put so much pressure on ourselves when it comes to family meals,” says Work-man. “But when we ease up on that pres-sure, dinner actual-ly seems to happen more often, and the meals are a lot more fun.”

To help even the busiest moms and dads find time for family dinners, Workman offers the following tips so parents can produce weeknight meals the whole family can en-joy.

1. Less is moreDon’t make your-

self crazy trying to master a recipe with an endless ingredient list on a Wednesday night. Weeknight meals don’t have to be perfect or exotic. Even the simplest recipes can make for

delicious meals.

2. Change it upSkip those

t i m e - c o n s u m i n g , last-minute trips to the grocery store for missing ingredients by replacing them with something sim-ilar that you already have on hand.

3. Elevate your meal from simple to sophisticated

Pairing weeknight meals with the per-fect wine can elevate midweek meatballs to something more memorable.

4. Get a head start on prep work

Whenever possi-ble, reduce the stress of weeknight meals by doing some of your meal prep long before dinnertime. Chop veggies for the week on Sunday nights or take a few minutes each morn-ing to gather ingre-dients for that night’s meal.

5. Make it a fami-ly affair

Make weeknight meals more fun by involving the whole family. Parents can let the kids peel car-rots or measure rice or perform other age-appropriate ac-tivities.

Nightly family dinners help families build stronger bonds, and weeknight meals need not be lavish undertakings.

Delicious and e a s y - t o - p r e p a r e , this recipe for “Ma-ple-Barbecue Pork Meatballs” from Ka-tie Workman’s “Din-ner Solved!” makes the perfect weeknight family meal. Pile them on rice or cous-cous or quinoa with a few extra spoonfuls of barbecue sauce for an easy and different weeknight dinner.

However, like any decent — if somewhat melodra-matic — piece of fiction, the story has at its core an element of truth.

On Saturday night at 8 p.m., Wes Klir opened the doors of Fort Jennings Memorial Hall to Ohio Researchers of Banded Spirits (ORBS), a profes-sional team of ghost hunters whose investigations into the paranormal over the past nine years have been documented on Animal Planet’s The Haunted; Biography Channel’s My Ghost Story; and on the History Channel’s Haunted History.

ORBS project manag-er, Karlo Zuzic, chose to reach out to Klir after read-ing accounts of an aborted Haunted House fundraiser last October. Included in the reports was Klir’s firm-ly held conviction that some of the memories lodged within the building are still playing out, that Memorial Hall is, in a word, haunted.

“We’ve been a lot of plac-es,” Zuzic said. “Chances are, if he’s having experi-ences here, there’s spirit activity here. Hopefully we capture something.”

Following a brief tour and an historical overview of the building, ORBS team members set to work installing an array of sen-sory gear intended to detect and enable communication

with any paranormal pres-ence. Digital video cam-eras and sound recorders, radiation detectors, thermal imaging cameras and spirit boxes — a device that uti-lizes radio frequencies to open channels of commu-nication — were set up in the basement as well as the first and second floors of Memorial Hall. Any read-ings potentially obtained by these devices were then fed to recording devices in the team’s mobile command post, a black van parked just outside.

With their equipment in place, the team then joined in a brief prayer before breaking into groups and beginning the process of making contact with any lingering spirits.

While documenting paranormal experiences is ORBS’ bread and butter, its team members’ passion, equally important is their commitment to supporting historical landmarks across Ohio and throughout the nation.

“I brought (Memorial Hall) to the attention of my team, and we decid-ed we would love to help raise money for the cause,” Zuzic said. “We give back. We’ve raised a lot of money for historical societies. Our goal has always been to raise money for our his-torical landmarks so they can be around for others to enjoy.”

The group routinely

offers fundraising oppor-tunities to organization’s such as that which sup-ports Memorial Hall. Such an opportunity in Fort Jennings, penciled in for some time in October of this year, is possible. Whether or not it actually takes place depends on how Saturday’s efforts pan out, whether or not the ORBS team was able to detect, or possibly even contact, spirits.

In two weeks, after analyzing all of the data recorded over the course of the four hours the team was there, ORBS will deliver its verdict. Having said that, Zuzic made clear that ORBS exists to corroborate spirit activity, not debunk it. Of the literally hundreds of sites the group has visit-ed over the past nine years, Zuzic said that 99 percent have proven active.

For Klir, while gaining the funds necessary to keep Memorial Hall a vibrant part of the community is an obvious boon, the adven-ture that unfolded was an equally obvious thrill.

“We’ve put on some good events in this build-ing,” Klir said, grinning. “Frankly, if I was a ghost or some kind of afterworld person, I would probably want to stick around, too, because some of the stuff we do is pretty good.”

“They control the roads,” he added.Leaning on the side of caution, Councilman

Josh Gillespie said he didn’t feel it was coun-cil’s place to become involved.

“I don’t think we have to be involved in highway patrol actions,” he said.

While no resolution was achieved, Police Chief Mark Slate, who was unable to attend Monday’s meeting due to a prior commit-ment, said he appreciated the extra patrol on the city’s streets.

“I don’t mind them being here at all,” Slate told The Delphos Herald Tuesday. “They are taking care of the traffic issues so we can con-centrate on the calls we receive. We are down on manpower so we can use the help.”

Slate went on to say that residents can prevent a run-in with any officer by obeying traffic laws.

“People need to use their turn signals, come to complete stops and drive the speed limit,” he added.

A raise for auxiliary police was heard for the time by council. The ordinance amends the pay rate from $10 per hour to $11 per hour.

Councilman Mark Clement asked how long it had been since the auxiliary officers had received a pay raise.

“It has been at least 15 years,” Mayor Gallmeier said. “We budgeted in $4,000 in the budget to cover the increase so the money is already in there.”

In Safety Service Director Shane Coleman’s absence, Gallmeier gave the city officials’ report.

“We have a meeting with Marion Township about our fire and rescue contract with them on May 23,” Gallmeier said. “I’ll bring you anything that comes from that at the next meeting.”

He also said paperwork for a $100,000 grant for upgrading the city’s meter reading system to remote read was filed and the grant recipients will be announced later in the sum-mer.

“The new filters have been installed in the pool and the pool is full,” he added.

Anyone who purchased a pool pass during the Christmas special needs to redeem their certificates at the city building and no pool passes will be sold at the pool this year.

The Ohio Department of Transportation have approved repairs to bridges over Flat Fork Creek on East First, Third and Seventh streets.

“We will also apply for a grant for 95

percent of eligible costs associated with those repairs,” Gallmeier said.

It’s the season for mowing and that can cause problem at the wastewater treatment plant and in the sewer lines.

“We are asking residents to not blow their grass clippings into the street because they can clog the sewers,” Gallmeier said. “Anyone who sees this happening can call the city building or the police department.”

There is a city ordinance dealing with the matter. The offense is a minor misdemeanor and can come with a fine of up to $150.

Staying with the mowing theme, residents are asked to keep with the yard maintenance.

“If the grass in someone’s yard becomes a nuisance, the city will mow it at a cost of $250 plus labor,” Gallmeier said. “It’s more cost-effective for neighbors or family to help keep up with the chore.”

Last year, four yards were mowed by the city.

A water/sewer adjustment for the property at 508 W. Fourth St. for $534.48 narrowly passed. No votes were cast by Gillespie, Grothous and Andy Daley. The homeowner received a letter noting the higher-than-usual usage and the owner found a toilet running in the vacant home. The leak has been repaired and the water turned off to the residence.

Gallmeier also offered a clarification on the city’s policy for granting water/sewer adjustment.

“I think some people are under the impres-sion that we forgive the whole amount of the request,” he said. “We take the average usage over the last three years and if the bill in ques-tion is more than 200 percent of that average, the customer is billed the highest usage from that three year period.”

Council suspended the rules and passed an ordinance on second reading amending the city’s rates for emergency medical ser-vices. The rates are revisited annually to make sure they are in line with the Milliman Medical Index. The rates in effect as of June 1 include: Emergency Basic Life Support (per person, per conveyance) will be $649. 51; Emergency Advance Life Support (per person, per conveyance) will be $708.55; Emergency Advance Life Support 2 (per person, per conveyance) will be $826.64; and mileage per loaded mile will be $12.69.

The rates are revisited yearly.City Auditor Tom Jettinghoff has called a

budget hearing for 6:30 p.m. June 6 for the 2017 Budget.

Patty Gengler, a member of the ministry, helped find patterns for the dresses and organize the event. She says they decided to participate when they went to the district women’s retreat and met other women who were sewing these dresses.

The simple dresses are made from T-shirts, pillow-cases and scraps of material that are donated. Some dresses are sleeveless and others are made with T-shirts so the longer sleeves allow girls in countries with more conservative dress-ing guidelines to wear them.

Each dress has a tag sewn onto it that says the organi-zation’s name. According to Dress a Girl Around the World, the purple tag can discourage

predators by showing the girl is under the care of an organi-zation.

The dresses are then sent around the world to young girls who need them. According to the website for Dress a Girl Around the World, the dresses are delivered to girls in more than 80 countries, including the United States.

“Wherever the need is, that’s where it goes,” Gengler said.

Many of the girls who receive these dresses have never had a new dress before.

Dress a Girl Around the World believes these bright, new dresses can discourage predators because the dresses show the girls as well cared for. Gengler said the dresses help the girls from being taken and trafficked.

Kathy Gengler, another member of the ministry, said this was their fourth meeting.

“We are doing it in stages, so everybody gets to participate,” she said.

She mentioned their goal was to make 200 dresses for the organization. However, Patty Gengler said they had another goal, too.

“I would like to see every church in Delphos do this,” she said. “I’d even go there and help them get started.”

Others who live too far away to come to every event can make dresses in their homes and send them to the Wesleyan Church.

For those who want to par-ticipate, Patty Gengler encour-ages them to contact her at the Wesleyan Church at 419-695-1723 or visit the Dress a Girl Around the World website.
