Dear Host Family,
I am very grateful for you

people in your town and to
gain the new impressions and
to get to know your culture.
I am 14 years old and live
in a small city called Verl. It
is in the west of Germany. I
live in a house with my par-
ents and my younger brother
Birk. My parents both work as
physiotherapists in their own
practice. I have got a really
good relationship to them and
we do not often argue to each
other and it is always about
nothing. The relationship to

My favourite subjects are
History, German, Sports and
Geography.
I was born in Bielefeld (a
quiet big town not far from
Werther) and lived in Werther
for the whole of my life. Here
I visited the kindergarten and

Dear host family,
My name is Peter

can say myself, when I am in
school.
My hobbies are soccer,
darts, table tennis and friends.
I play football in the club

Dear Host Family,
I would like to introduce
myself and to tell you some-

My name is Alexander
and I am 15 years old. I live
in Verl, a small town in the
north-west of Germany. I
live with my parents, my cat
Filou and my younger sister
Alissa. My younger sister is
just 5 month old and I love
her very much. I have a good
relationship with my parents,
but sometimes there are some
disagreements of course. We
live in a house 1 km outside
of town, so I go to school by
bike. I like school and I like
to learn but sometimes I am
a little lazy. I am in the 9th
grade and I like our class.

Medicaid reform
BY MIKE FORD
mford@delphosherald.com
SPENCERVILLE — With
the next biennial budget out
of Columbus looming, budget
cuts are needed to keep Ohio
in the black. Many feel that
government should tighten its
bureaucratic waste before it
targets the poor, the elderly,
children and those who pro-
vide them with vital social
services.
In this climate, Fourth
District Matt Huffman visited
Roselawn Manor Nursing
Home Friday to tour the facil-
ity and discuss Medicaid and
budget-related issues as he
looked at the facilities con-
struction progress.
Though Medicaid is a fed-
eral program, the state con-
trols reimbursements made to
long-term care providers. The
state pays a higher per diem
to facilities in large cities than
it pays to those in the Tri-
county. Vancrest Healthcare

John Bagley said he has seen

it as much as $50 higher per
day in metropolitan markets
than it is here. When com-
bined with high taxes, rural
facilities lose money in caring
for the patients in question.
In light of the state’s $8 bil-
lion shortfall, Huffman thinks
reform is needed.
“The current system of
reimbursing nursing homes
has debtor and creditor
aspects to it in terms of indi-
vidual nursing homes. There
are some nursing homes
located in other parts of the
state that get extraordinarily
high reimbursement rates.
That has happened over the
years with a lack of transpar-
ency; they’ve been able to
negotiate these rates and that
needs to change. Most of the
nursing homes in this area
are creditors in the sense that
they receive much less than
the statewide average rate.
We have to make sure the
nursing homes are appropri-
ately reimbursed,” he said.

Arthur Lang, who may

in the United States has died.
The former boxer and busi-

115 years old.
Lang’s birthdate was not
authenticated but his family
said he was born on a farm
near Van Wert, Ohio, on May
4, 1877. If so he would have
been several months older
than the oldest living per-

Lang was born to former

Wagons were of great
importance to the early set-
tlers for hauling of materi-
als and supplies as well as
a means of transportation.
Wagons were adapted for use
as needed. Curved bottoms
kept the load from shifting,
lighter weight wagons would
use fewer horses, side panels
allowed stacking larger loads
and canvas covers could be
added to protect the cargo.
Transporting logs required
removing the bed.
Not everyone could afford
the expense of feeding a horse
to pull the wagon or of actu-
ally owning a wagon. Wagon
stands, like taxi stands, were
conveniently located and you
could hire a wagon to trans-
port you and/or your belong-
ings to your destination.
Livery stables were found in
most populated areas.
The Kollsmith Wagon
Works was located at the
souteast corner off Fifth and
Main streets in Delphos.
(See Photo) They manu-
factured farm wagons and
fancy buggies for their livery
trade, and also maintained
a complete livery stable on
the site. Mr. Kollsmith also

Enraged Steers
On Rampage
Seven steers, owned
by Marks & German, the
West Side meat market and
grocerymen, escaped from
a pasture field at the west
end of West Second street,
Thursday afternoon and
caused considerable excite-
ment in the west part of
town, and several parties
narrowly escaped injury by
the enraged animals.
Messrs. Marks & German
purchased seven steers at
the John Baldauf farm, four
and one-half miles west of
Delphos and brought them
to Delphos, placing them in
the pasture. It is stated that
boys were shooting rifles
near the animals, frightening
them, and when a traction car
passed a short time later, one
of the steers broke through
the fence and the remaining
six followed. When Thos.
German and employees of

offered assistance, attempt-
ed to drive the steers back
to the pasture, a veritable
Spanish bull fight ensured,
causing the men to climb
trees, porches, crawl under
grape arbors and make
other hurried getaways.
B.L. Jauman, who was
assisting in recapturing the
steers, encountered one in
the yard of Geo. Kobb, on
West First street, and felled
it with a club, but it got on
its feet again and took
after him with a vengeance.
He made a second pass at
it but missed and just had
time to roll under a grape
arbor and escape. It is said
that Ray Marks and Thos.
German displayed their abil-
ity at rapid climbing of trees
in getting away. One of the
men escaped into a house
and slammed the door just as
one of the steers came upon
the porch after him.
Two of the steers returned
to the Baldauf farm, two

ture and one was so entire-
ly exhausted that it lay in
Second street all Thursday
night. The other two went to
the Wm. Metcalf farm just
northwest of town, where
they were driven into a pas-
ture field.
It is said that Syl Dolt, one
of the employees of the meat
market, was unable to go to
work Friday on account of
his trying experience with
the infuriated beasts.

Washington Township
will take the lead in school
improvements in this sec-

been taken at a special meet-
ing of the School Board and
the sub-directors, held at the
township house Thursday
evening, for the installing of
up-to-date heating and venti-
lating systems in each of the
nine township schools.
Members Robert

Max Kortokrax and Ben
Lindeman of the School
Board and T.T. Jones, Jacob
Baldauf, G.W. Wagner, Fred
Hempfling, John Nomina,
Ed. Mox and Jos. Auer, sub-
directors, were present at the
meeting.
Large brick vents will be
built at each of the nine
schools and furnaces will
be installed. Air will be
brought in from out-
side, heated and distributed
through the building and
foul air will be forced out
through vent ducts. In the
past the schools have been
heated by stoves and the only
ventilation was by opening
windows and doors, which
is exceedingly unhealthful
for the children.
Washington Township
is the first township in the
county to put in a heating

all their schools. In addi-
tion, other extensive exte-
rior and interior improve-
ments will be made at the

Gypsies Come to
Delphos
A gypsy band with
eight wagons and about
fifty people, including
men, women and children,
invaded Delphos Tuesday
afternoon and camped on
the west side, while the
women swarmed the busi-
ness streets and made an
endeavor to collect a little
money by fortune telling.
Chief Kehres did not allow
them to tarry long how-
ever. He drove the women
from the business places
and rounded them up, gave
them orders to continue their
journey, which they reluc-
tantly did. The party was
one of the most unkempt
aggregations that ever struck
the city.
Chief Kehres was called
out of bed at about 4:00
o’clock Wednesday morning
to watch the group. When
they left Delphos, they
drove north on the Ottoville
road and established a camp
at the John Vogt farm, four
miles north of Delphos.
Twenty-one horses owned
by the party, broke into an
oats field on Mr. Vogt’s
farm during the night caus-
ing considerable damage
to the crop. In response
to the telephone call, Chief
Kehres and patrolman
Wagoner went to the scene.
Mr. Vogt asked damages for
the destruction to his oats,
but the owners of the horses
refused to come across until
the officers attached two of
the horses and prepared to
bring them to Delphos,
when they thawed out and
paid $15 for the destruc-
tion wrought to the crop and
$4.50 for the expense of the
officers. Instructions were
given to clear out as soon as
they had eaten breakfast.

Try to Unite
Veterans
To unite the sons of
Federal and Confederate
veterans is the object of a
resolution which will be
presented to the national
encampment of Federal
Sons of Veterans at St.
Louis, Aug. 28, if plans of
L.H. Putnam of Mobile, Ala.,
who is now in Columbus,
materialize.
Mr. Putnam suggested to
the camp of Federal Sons of
Batavia, N.Y., about two
weeks ago that it offer the
resolution at the national
encampment in August. At
present, there are separate
orders of veterans’ sons in
the North and South.
“There should be a nation-
al organization and not these
sectional orders,” said Mr.
Putnam. “In time it prob-
ably would take the place of
both Northern and Southern
organizations as they exist
today.
The name proposed
is the United Sons of
America, with the initials
U.S.A.
As evidence that sons of
veterans should not be sepa-
rate, Mr. Putnam offers the
fact that a larger proportion
of Southern sons went to
the Spanish war than did
Northern sons.

DELPHOS — Jefferson
hosted Columbus Grove in
a second-half Northwest
Conference barn-burner
Friday night. Jefferson was
down by as many as 16 points
in the second quarter and ral-
lied, only to have Grove pull
it out in the end by the score
of 57-53.
Jefferson started the half
trailing by 11 points — 33-22
— with Mitchell Antalis
starting off the comeback
with 3-point shot at the top
of the key. Jordan Travis
for Grove hit a layup but
Bulldog big man Adam Bair
got his second and third foul
back-to-back in just 14 sec-
onds to slow him up in the
game. Antalis nailed two free
throws at the 5:49 mark and
classmate Nick Cook chipped
in a 4-foot banker to pull
Jefferson within six points.
Columbus Grove scored just
10 seconds later on a long
deuce but Ryan Ebbeskotte
sparked the Wildcats on
two 3-pointers back-to-back
(right wing and the left wing
from NBA distance) pulling
the Jeffcats within 2. Grove
senior Luke Kohls (14 sec-

line at 2:09 and nailed both
free throws but Jefferson’s
Logan Bonifas hit a 3-pointer
just left of the key, making it a
1-point game with 1:59 left in
the quarter. Kohls hit a 7-foot
turnaround jumper at 1:38
but Ebbeskotte hit a basket
in the paint and got fouled,
completing the 3-point play
for a 41-all tie with eight sec-
onds to go in the period.

the 5:14 mark. The spread
stayed about the same until
Jefferson hit two baskets in

CONTINENTAL — A
year ago, the Kalida Wildcats
and Continental Pirates
played a game that
came down to the last
second — literally.
This year at The
Pirates Cove, it
wasn’t quite as dra-
matic but still a stel-
lar defensive effort on the part
of both teams as the Wildcats
came away with a 38-24
Putnam County League boys
cage victory.
The defense was so stingy
that the first point of the game
wasn’t made until 1:51 into
the contest when Jacob Fry
gave the Pirates a 2-0 lead.
The advantage would shift
four times in the first half
and a total of 15 points were
scored in the first stanza.
The visitors lead 16-12
at the break despite the fact
that the Pirates had no turn-
overs in the first half and
just two for the game. The
teams combined for just 17
shots made from the field
with Kalida hitting 10-of-19
and the Pirates dropping
7-of-29 attempts.
The ’Cats (14-4,
6-1 PCL) were led by
Kevan Unverfeth with
12 points; only six other
Kalida players made it
into the scorebook.
Continental (14-3, 4-2
PCL) had no players in dou-
ble digits, the closest being
John Spitnale, who ended the
game with nine markers.
The contest was tied at
5-5 late in the first when
Unverferth sank one of his two
3s in the game, giving Kalida
an 8-5 lead. Continental
would take the advantage
back in the second on an alley
oop play from Brock Homier
to Spitnale a minute into the
second frame.
Continental made just two
baskets in the second but the
Wildcats did not do much bet-
ter, hitting just three from the
field and shooting none from
the foul line in the first two
periods.
Junior Drew Stechschulte
(7 points) gave the Wildcats
the lead for good with 4:03 to
go in the half, hitting a triple
from the corner to make it a
16-11 contest.
Kalida held their hosts to
just two baskets in the third
canto as the Pirates went 2-of-
11; the Wildcats had problems
of their own finding the mark
and even getting a shot for
that matter, making three of
just five attempts. However,
the saving grace of the period

Keselowski helps older
brother make Daytona 500
By MARK LONG
The Associated Press
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — With
dirt under his fingernails, his dad in
his pit stall and no sponsors on his
car, Brian Keselowski was a long
shot to make the Daytona 500.
Until his little brother got
involved.
Brad Keselowski pushed his
brother to a fifth-place finish Thursday
in the second of two qualifying races
for the upcoming Daytona 500. It set
off an emotional family celebration
on pit road and left everyone in the
garage area talking about the feel-
good story of Speedweeks.
“Things like that are what our
sport’s about,” fellow driver Jeff
Burton said. “Our sport’s about pas-
sion, it’s about desire, it’s about stay-
ing up ’til 4 in the morning worrying
about what’s going to happen.”
Brian had plenty of cause for
concern.
Driving a 5-year-old car he put
together with his father, Bob, the
1989 ARCA champion, Keselowski
struggled to find enough speed all
week at Daytona. And when the
green flag dropped Thursday, he
wasn’t sure anyone would want to
help him out in the 150-mile sprint.
Brad stepped in, doing something
more suitable from a big brother.
He lined up behind Brian’s unspon-
sored No. 92 Dodge and pushed him
through the field, passing Sprint Cup
stars Denny Hamlin, Carl Edwards
and Jamie McMurray along the way.
In the final few laps, the
Keselowskis were running right up
there with the leaders. Brian crossed
the finish line less than a second
behind Burton, who won the race.
“It’s just an awesome feeling,”
Brad said. “You can’t always do
something for your family but when
you can, you try to. I was able to do
something for him.”
Brian started crying as he
stopped on pit road, then got a hug
from his brother. Their mom and dad
showed up a few minutes later to join
in the frivolity.
“That was awesome,” Michael
Waltrip said. “I loved seeing that.
Brad was committed and he made
it work out. I don’t know about you,
but I thought that was a really cool
story.”
Added Joe Nemechek: “One of
those Cinderella stories.”
Brian’s unexpected run gives the
“Great American Race” three sets of
brothers. Kurt and Kyle Busch and
Terry and Bobby Labonte already
qualified for the 43-car field.
The Keselowski brothers haven’t
always been close.
Brian, two years older than Brad,
acknowledged they had an up-and-
down relationship growing up. Brad
always wanted to tag along and
Brian never wanted to be his baby
sitter. Brian also said he was jealous
when his brother landed a full-time
ride in the Nationwide Series, which
led to his coveted Sprint Cup job with
Penske Racing.
“I feel like if roles could have
been reversed, there’s a possibil-
ity I could be in the same position
he’s in now,” Brian said. “There’s no
guarantees. I would have liked the
chance. There’s always a little bit
of jealousy. Then you have to say,
‘What if it wouldn’t have worked?’
We’d both be sitting home. It could
go either way. We made our first
Daytona 500, so I guess it’s not all
a bad thing.”
Not at all.
Even if Brian finishes last in
Sunday’s season-opening race, he’ll
earn more than $250,000 — a huge
payday for a team on a shoestring
budget.
“If there’s anybody that can
stretch money, that’s us,” Brian
added. “My dad has been doing
that for years. That’s how we’ve
always had to race. Until we got a
little bit of decent sponsorship in the
truck, the ARCA side there, man, we
struggled. That’s all we’ve ever done
really since the ’60s.
“It means I can pay my bills off
finally. It’s been a really rough winter,
I’m telling you. ... I’m really, really,
really glad that that happened. I can
look everybody in the eye again and
say, ‘Thank God this worked.’ I told
everybody this is going to work, just
hold on, please help, and they did.”
Earning a spot in his first career
Cup race — the Daytona 500, no
less — is only half the battle. Brian
must now put together a pit crew in
time for Sunday’s race. He came to
Daytona with only his father, then
asked his uncle to join them this
week.
That 2-man team won’t be
enough on race day.
“I’ve got some recruiting to do,”
he smiled.
Not the worst problem he’s ever
faced.
NASCAR teams worry about
blown engines: Bill Elliott has been
racing at Daytona since the 1970s
and he has never seen this level of
cooperation among so many differ-
ent drivers and their spotters.
It’s out of necessity.
If drivers hooked up in the
2-car drafts that have dominated
Speedweeks don’t work well togeth-
er in Sunday’s Daytona 500, there
could be a bunch of blown engines.
NASCAR officials have taken
steps to limit speeds at Daytona that
included restrictions on how teams
cool their engines — an attempt to
keep them from spending too much
time working together in the tandem
drafts that were leading to speeds
over 200 mph.
“You know, the bad thing about
it is you don’t know what the limit
is,” Elliott said. “The guys tell you
you’re kind of shooting for this range
but give or take 10 degrees or so
one way or the other. We just try to
monitor it and say, ‘Look, I say to the
spotter, we got a quarter of a lap to
go, I got to make it work.’ It’s been
the most communication between so
many different spotters than I’ve ever
seen in any previous Daytona 500 or
any Daytona event.”
During Thursday’s qualify-
ing races, drivers in drafting duos
switched spots after a handful of laps
so the driver doing the pushing could
take a turn in front and get more air
to his engine’s radiator. That requires
cooperation between the drivers and
their spotters.
If a pushing car stays in back for
too long, it could overheat.
“I don’t know what the breaking
point is,” said Steve Addington, crew
chief for Kurt Busch’s No. 22 car. “I’m
afraid that some of these guys are
going to find out.”
The driver doing the pushing
already has his hands full, keeping
his bumper stuck to the car in front
of him and anticipating the leading
driver’s next move while simultane-
ously monitoring the mirror to see
what’s coming up behind them.
Now, he has to keep an eye on
the water temperature gauge.
“You have to keep track of the
guy in front of you, you have to
absorb if he’s coming up on a pack,
stay with him, not give him too hard
of a push in a sense,” Busch added.
“At the same time, you have to keep
peeking that grill out to keep it cool if
you want to stay attached.”
Addington expects drivers and
teams to play it smart on Sunday.
“You’re going to have to back
out of it, pay attention to your water
temps and back out of the situa-
tions,” Addington added. “You have
to be there at the end to finish this
deal. Trying to take the lead at lap
100, burning the car up, it’s not
worth it.”
Of course, drivers are likely to
gamble with their temperatures at
the end of the race.
“You just get to a point, you’re
going to try to push a little bit more,”
Elliott added.
Michael makes it: By finishing
third in the second qualifying race
Thursday, 2-time Daytona 500 win-
ner Michael Waltrip will start the race
for the 25th straight time.
Waltrip has been emotional all
week about the 10-year anniver-
sary of Dale Earnhardt’s death at
Daytona, a race Waltrip won but
couldn’t ever really celebrate.
“Most of the time I’m all right,”
Waltrip said. “(Ken) Schrader came
over today. We can’t look at each
other without crying about it. We
were probably the two, other than
Dale Jr., drivers that were as closely
tied to the events of that day than
anyone. We cry a lot.”
Yeley’s recovery: J.J. Yeley
made the Daytona 500 field
Thursday, taking another step in his
return to racing after sustaining a
serious neck injury at a short track
race in 2009.
“It’s been a long road back,”
Yeley explained. “I took that nasty
flip there in a sprint car, pinched
two vertebrae in my neck that I had
to have fused in September. It took
about eight months to where they
were going to clear me and do the
rehabilitation to where I was safe
getting behind the wheel.”
At times, Yeley has worried he
was falling off the NASCAR radar.
“Obviously in this sport, if you’re
not in clear view, you can easily get
forgotten,” Yeley said. “That’s what I
started to feel like. You roll through
the garage, people would look at
you with a second glance. It was that
quick that you could be forgotten.”
Spark plugs: Ford drivers
seemed to be able to run longer as
the pushing car without overheat-
ing problems. “The cooling system
works well and I think we’re going
to be good,” Carl Edwards said.
“It’s going to be an all-day, whose
car can last longest, whose engine
is the strongest and which drivers
can work together the best — I think
that’s going to win it and I feel like
we’ve got a good enough team to
do that.” ... Jeff Gordon damaged his
car in the second qualifying race but
the team expects to fix the primary
car instead of going to a backup.
... Waltrip said NASCAR’s attempts
to break up the Daytona drafting
tandems with rules changes were
having limited success. “I don’t think
NASCAR’s rule change with the radi-
ators and stuff accomplished quite
what they hoped,” Waltrip added.
“Might have got close.”

Hot religion buttons on campus easy to find

Anyone who explores academic hallways TERRY MATTINGLY these voluntary associations. those who oppose abortion? Can an evangeli-
on American campuses will find lots of car- Catholic educators at Georgetown Univer- cal group require that all members of its lead-

toons posted on professors’ office doors and
bulletin boards.
But what if the cartoons included the
Prophet Muhammad?
In one famous case, a professor at Century
College in Minnesota dared to post the Mu-
hammad cartoons that were published in a
Danish newspaper. Facing fierce criticism, she
put the images behind a curtain so that any-
one passing her bulletin board would not see
them unless they chose to do so. Administra-
tors quickly created a policy requiring advance
approval of all posted items.
It’s easy to find hot religion buttons on
campuses.
What if a club tried to screen Mel Gibson’s
“The Passion of the Christ” and administrators
banned it, citing its R-rating and controversial
content? What if the same administrators al-
lowed a play on campus in which a character
pretended to perform a sex act on an image
of Jesus? What if a Jewish group sponsored a
campus lecture by an Israeli official and it had
to be canceled due to heckling by Palestinian
students? What if a professor urged students
to destroy a campus-approved display of tiny
crosses, created by anti-abortion students, that
symbolically represented their stance?
On
Religion
These cases are real and there are hundreds
more.
“Passions are boiling over on many cam-
puses,” said attorney William Creeley, who
directs legal teams for the secular Foundation
for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE).
“Students and professors and administrators
are fighting about all kinds of things, but the
surface issues are often proxies for the real is-
sue -- which is religion. ...
“The garb in which these clashes are clothed
may be student rights or campus fees, but they
are usually about religion, morality and sex.”
A recent survey by the foundation, he said,
found that 71 percent of America’s campuses
try to enforce codes that in some way clash
with the First Amendment. Meanwhile, many
private schools -- which can create covenants
that limit many freedoms -- are failing to warn
students, faculty and staff about the contents
of the documents they sign when entering
sity had a legal right to ask the abortion-rights
group “Hoyas for Choice” to operate under
the name “H(asterisk)yas for Choice” and to
deny it some campus benefits. DePaul Uni-
versity had a right to deny equal treatment to
a group called “Students for Cannabis Policy
Reform.” The issue, said Creeley, is whether
private-school leaders explicitly warn students
and parents -- before they enroll -- about “what
they are getting into.”
Scratch the surface and it’s easy to find re-
ligion in other campus conflicts. For example,
“conservatives” often claim they face discrim-
ination when seeking faculty promotions or
jobs in prestigious schools, especially in sci-
ence and political-science departments.
Programs that discuss Islam, or deal with
Israel and the Middle East in general, continue
to generate heat. Can faculty members who
dissect the Bible do similar textual criticism
of the Quran? However, any FIRE review of
recent campus fights, said Creeley, would have
to discuss whether religious groups on state
campuses can insist that their leaders support
their foundational beliefs. In other words, can a
Jewish group insist that its leaders support the
right of Israel to exist? Can an anti-abortion
group insist that its leadership be limited to
ership believe in the Resurrection of Jesus?
Last June, the U.S. Supreme Court -- in
another 5-4 decision -- ruled that the Hastings
College of the Law in San Francisco could
require its Christian Legal Society chapter to
use an “all comers” policy for members and
leaders or lose its status as a campus organiza-
tion. The case pivoted on the group’s affirma-
tion that sex outside of marriage -- the union of
husband and wife -- is sinful.
FIRE has tracked 40 or more disputes of
this kind, noted Creeley, and there are sure to
be more.
“I cannot think of anything less ‘liberal’
than what we are seeing on many campuses,”
he said. While most educators “pride them-
selves on offering a ‘liberal education,’ “ many
are now promoting “an orthodoxy that tempts
them to edit the First Amendment. ... You end
up driving certain points of view off campus
and silencing the religious voices that trouble
you. That’s dangerous -- period.”

Prine lit up jungle
with flame thrower
BY MIKE FORD
mford@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS — Jobs were
scarce in the late 1930s.
Families struggled to put
food on the table and it was
not uncommon for men to
look to military service for a
sure three squares a day.
It was in that dire eco-
nomic backdrop that William
Prine enlisted in the military.
“I enlisted because you
couldn’t get a job. Things
were tight. You couldn’t make
any money, so I went in the
National Guard in 1939. In
1940, the National Guard was
mustered into the army and I
went to basic in Mississippi.
We were trained, then we
trained draftees. After war
broke out in 1941, we went
to Pennsylvania and were
going to leave for Europe
out of New York but there
was something wrong with
the ship and they put us on a
Prine shortly after he enlisted in the National Guard.
train for San Francisco where
I boarded the Santa Lucia, a
civilian ship, for Hawaii. We
pulled into Pearl Harbor and
some of the ships were half-
emerged there in the bay and
I saw the Arizona to the right.
We were there just two or
three days and went to Fiji,”
he said.
Prine served with the 37th
Infantry Division as a flame
thrower operator. Island
chains west of America’s
50th state were thick with
jungle in which guerilla
fighters hid. Because burn-
ing it down was an effective
tactic, Prine found himself in
the heart of combat.
“We were in Fiji to protect
guys who were building an
air base. We were there quite
a while until the battles of
Coral Sea and Midway. The
United States won Midway, so
we were sent to Guadalcanal
as part of the 21st wave. We
went from there to Munda on

barges that left after dark and
landed about 3 in the morn-
ing. We snuck in to drive the
Japs out into the ocean and
went back to Guadalcanal
and several other islands and
to Bougainville; I was part of
the first wave.”
American strategy was
to push the Japanese out of
the Solomon Islands, start-
ing with Guadalcanal.
Bougainville was invaded
by the 37th Infantry Division
and the United States
Marines in November 1943.
The plan was to take a small
portion of the 250-square-
mile island, build an air base
and launch a full-scale air
attack. The Japanese hid in
the jungle, expecting Uncle
Sam’s warriors to come hunt
them down but soon realized
they would have to take the
offensive if they wanted to
eliminate American forces on
the island.
The Americans occupied a
portion of mountains and val-
leys that included Hill 700,
which had a clear view of
the airfield. It was a tactical
centerpiece that stood central
to holding positions on both
sides of the airfield.
On March 8, the Japanese
attack began and lasted until
Hill 700 was retaken by the
37th on March 13.
“We landed on amphibi-
ous vehicles and took the
beach. The Japs broke
through replacements at Hill
700, which was a couple
miles from the beach. The
army was segregated back
then and some colored guys
came and took over our posi-
tion, so we went up to Hill
700 to drive the Japs back.
We were there for a couple
of weeks and went to the
Philippines. I was in the first
wave; the Japs had replace-
ments and I was to take them
out with the flame thrower. I
was attached to a rifle com-

pany and had an assistant.
The infantry would fire over
our heads into ‘pill boxes’ to
keep the Japs pinned down.
My assistant and I would
crawl up to within 25 feet
of the pill box. My assis-
tant would throw a grenade
and the rifleman would stop
firing and I would get up
and go to the pill box shoot-
ing the flame thrower. We
used kerosene and napalm
to mop up. It went farther
but kerosene was more like
a blast. There were areas in
the Philippines with caves
and the flame thrower would
ricochet through those caves
where people would hide,”
he explained.
Much of the Philippine
jungle was occupied by
Japanese guerilla forces dur-
ing the war. The American
campaign to free the island’s
residents of Japanese pres-
ence was carried out from
October 1944 to August 1945.
It was during this phase of
Prine’s war experience when
he and another soldier were
wounded after a mortar land-
ed behind him.
“We went to Manila and
went across the river to the
Walled City on the other side
of Manila; it’s just a big con-
crete wall about 15-20 feet
high. You had to blast it,
climb it or do something but William Prine remem-

is 49 years old and my dad
called Uwe is 58 years old.
We also have a dog called
Cora, she is a Havaneser. She
is small but sometimes she is
very crazy.
We live in a house with
two floors. Our house is in
between the tennis club and
the school, so I can drive to
both places very fast with my
bike. I like to do sport so I
play tennis and golf.
My favourite sport is to
play tennis because I can meet
all your friends and I can
run and have fun there. My
whole family plays tennis,
so we play with each other.
On weekend I play with my
father golf and it is often an
interesting challenge.
One reason why I would
like to visit Delphos because
I want to speak English better
because the English language
is very important for school
life and in the future job. It

I often play computer, play
soccer or table tennis. At one
friend’s house we often play
soccer in the basement.
In my summer holidays I
often go to the “Sauerland”
with a big group of kids with-
out parents. Last year I was in
Bredelar, it is a little village
near “Marsberg”. We rode our
bikes 80 kilometers (about
50 miles). There were many
hills. It was really good. We
could do many things, because
we just go to our bikes. One
day we rode on our bike to
“Winterberg” to a toboggan-
run and after we rode back. On
this holiday camps I always
play table tennis.
I often go with my broth-
er to the open-air swimming
pool. There we often play with
a ball or we swim. My brother

don’t have a problem to meet
new people and to make new
friends. I would like to have
fun in my life and also in my
future job.
I wish to do this exchange
because I heard so many things
about the American way of
life and these things sound
very interesting. Experience
school life at an American
high school would be very
great, especially as sports
and extra-curricular clubs are
very important there. But also
the way of life in a typical
American family is some-
thing I would like to get to
know. I am also open minded
to different cultures and dif-
ferent countries. I would be
very happy if you could show
me your lifestyle and maybe I
can tell you something about
the life in Germany, too.
I am looking forward to
hearing from you soon.

because the wind was low and
you could not see him all the
time. The rest of my summer
holiday I train with my team,
but after the holiday on the
first school day I broke my
finger. So I couldn’t play foot-
ball for 6 weeks.
We have a big house with a
big garden, so I often have to
help my grandpa. He built the
house in 1960 and he works
very much in the garden. On
the 25th December it is his
birthday and he will be 70
years old this year. He has got
a little factory. In the summer
he comes to Spexard, when I
train with my football team.
He enjoys watching our foot-
ball matches. After the training
we ride home together and tell
about the match and in winter
my parents bring me to my
training by car, because it’s
really cold and Spexard is 8
kilometers (5 miles) from Verl
away. My granddad has a big
boot in Denmark. Every years
he drives to the boot with his
wife and my brother, I don’t
come with them, because I
will get ill.
I and my family live with
our grandpa and grandma in a
house. My other grandparents,
my mother’s parents, live in
