Upon officers arrival, the victim stated that someone had entered their vehicle by breaking out a window and reported items were taken from inside. A short time later, the items were located several blocks away laying by a residence. The case was forwarded to the Detective Bureau for further investigation. At 6:24 a.m. Tuesday, Delphos Police were called to the 800 block of South Main Street by an individual who advised that a small child was located wandering around the area alone. Upon officers arrival, they located the child, who appeared to be approximately 2 years old. Officers initially did not know the childs name or who the child belonged to. The initial check of the area did not reveal where the child came from or the childs identity. At that time, officers transported the child to the Delphos Police Department and Allen County Children Services were contacted. At approximately 8:30 a.m., officers were doing a doorto-door search in the 700/800 blocks of South Main, which resulted in locating a subject who was able to identify the child. The parents of the child were then contacted by phone. The parents advised they had dropped the child off at the babysitters house in the 800 block of South Main a couple hours earlier, were now at work and were unaware the child was out wandering the area alone. Police eventually located and spoke to all parties involved, including the individuals who were supposed to be babysitting the child and the childs parents. All parties came to the Delphos Police Department and were interviewed by Allen County Children Services. The child was released to the childs parents and ACCS will follow up on the incident. The child was found in good health and had no injuries to report from this incident.

Spaces available for certified fishing instructor workshop in Findlay

Information Submitted FINDLAY Spaces are available for educators, leaders, or conservation clubs who have a sincere interest in taking kids fishing and want to become certified fishing instructors, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR), Division of Wildlife. A free workshop is available on from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Aug. 14, which will take place at Wildlife District Two Office, 952 Lima Ave., Findlay. Passport to Fishing is a one-day instructor training program that qualifies individuals to become Division of Wildlife certified fishing instructors. All participants will need to pass a background check before being certified. Passport to Fishing was developed by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service and adopted by the Recreational Boating and Fishing Foundation. Workshops teach volunteers the basics of fishing and how to run a four-station fishing program with a fishing event. These instructors then go back to their communities, with a written curriculum and training aids, to teach youngsters and beginning anglers the basics of fishing. By becoming a certified instructor, attendees will not only be able to help in reconnecting students with the outdoors, but will also have the skills and resources to do it in a more successful way. Resources available include grants, equipment, brochures and training. To register for the workshop, please call Linda at 419-429-8347 by Aug. 7.

Ohio Lottery records record profits again

CLEVELAND (AP) The Ohio Lottery saw an eighth straight year of record profits, getting a boost from slots-like video terminals at two racinos and interactive games played by tavern patrons, according to a report from the lottery commission. The commission on Monday reported that profits for the year ending June 30 were more than $803 million, up from $771 million in the previous fiscal year. The profits go to public education in the state. Sales of traditional lottery games fell 1.4 percent, including the Pick 3 and Pick 4 number games, and instant scratchoff tickets. Sales of Pick 3 and Pick 4 tickets, both big sellers, dropped 3.5 percent and 8.7 percent. Instant tickets, which account for more than half of sales, were down more than 5 percent. However, sales of traditional lottery games were better than officials had projected. Traditional lottery games may have been affected by racinos combined race tracks and casinos and four casinos that opened in the state in Cleveland, Toledo, Columbus and Cincinnati over the last year, according to The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer (http://bit.ly/13MisRS ), which reported the numbers Tuesday. Scioto Downs in Columbus turned into a racino at the start of the fiscal year, and ThistleDown near Cleveland followed on April 9. The lottery, which collects a 33.3 percent tax on video slots revenue, received a total of more than $55 million from the tracks before June 30.

Moening to give overview of Lima Crane and Shovel at AC Museum

Information submitted

Blood drive nets 55 units

When people think of the Lima Locomotive Works, they think of steam locomotives. Less recognized but no less important was the production of construction equipment that was used to build this country throughout the 20th century. Between 1924-81, thousands of shovels, cranes, road packers, pavers and other equipment were locally produced by the Lima Locomotive Works, Lima-Hamilton, Baldwin Lima Hamilton and Clark Equipment. The Allen County Historical Society will host Bernie Moening at 2 p.m. July 28, who will present a historical overview of the Lima Shovel and Crane Division. Most people will recognize Moening as a familiar face behind the counter at the Lima Post Office. Few may realize his phenomenal expertise on locally-made shovels, cranes and heavy equipment. His father, grandfather, great-uncle and brother all worked for the Loco Works. His grandfather was a foreman at the brass foundry and his father was a sheet metal worker producing cabs for shovels and cranes. As a boy, he would go to the factory and www.edwardjones.com watch the men test Lima cranes in the testing field. The Allen County Museum is located at 620 W. Market St., Lima.

K of C Indians double up as league, tourney champs

BY NICK JOHNSON DHI Correspondent news@delphosherald.com VAN WERT The Van Wert K of C Indians faced off against the Delphos Pirates in the Tri-County Little League Tournament baseball championship game Tuesday night at the First Bank of Berne Field at Jubilee Park. The Indians, the regular-season champions, added the tourney title with a 9-3 victory over the Pirates. Van Wert had four straight batters reach in the top of the first inning when Clayton Proffitt, Kyle Sperry, Nate Place and Lennon Bartley all got base hits. Nate Place got an RBI single to dent the plate with Proffitt and later on, Mason Rogers got a sacrifice fly to bring home the second run of the game (Sperry). The final run of the top of the first inning (Place) came around to score on a passed ball to make it 3-0 in the top of first frame, Van Wert. Delphos put two runs on the board in the bottom of the first frame when Braxton Scalf walked to start the frame.

Knight rally falls short, still head to ACME State

BY JIM METCALFE Staff Writer jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com COLDWATER Crestview has been living on the edge during the M.A.V.S. ACME District 4 Tournament putting together several late rallies to stay alive and earn a berth in the 2013 State Tournament starting Saturday at Coldwater. The Knights had another chance for that Tuesday night at Minsters Hanover Street Park against Coldwater but fell short in a 5-3 loss. Im so proud of the guys. We never gave up and managed to grab at least two late wins, Crestview ACME coach Jeff Helm. We had a chance today but we didnt come up with enough 2-out hits. I also think we didnt make them earn their runs but they took advantage of mistakes by our pitchers. However, both teams advance to State with Crestview being one of the seven District representatives and Coldwater the host. We made it in 2002 and also our junior varsity team made it two years ago. A lot of the guys on this team were part of that team, Helm added. Crestviews Brock Rolsten led off the game against Coldwaters winner righty Grant Muhlenkamp (5-plus innings, 3 hits, 1 earned run, 1 free pass, 3 strikeouts) with a single and advanced on a 1-out groundout by Bryce Richardson. After Coldwater (24-4) left a runner (Muhlenkamp) on second in the first on a 1-out single and error, they went up 2-0 in the home second against Crestview southpaw Elliot Callow (4-plus IPs, 4 hits, 4 earned runs, 4 BBs, 1 K). With one out, Derek Thobe and Adam Klosterman hit back-toback knocks. Mitch Schoenherr bunted them up a base and two wild pitches scored both. The Knights (16-4) got a 1-out single by Callow in the third but he got caught stealing by Blake Spangler. Coldwater made it 3-0 in the host third: 1-out chop single down the leftfield line by Mitch Heyne and two stolen bases. After Matave Bettinger walked and advanced on a passed ball, Spangler launched a sacrifice fly to center to score Heyne. Thobe walked and a wild pitch moved both runners up but they got no farther. Isaiah Simerman was safe on a 2-out error in the Crestview fourth. The Cavaliers made it 5-0 in the bottom of the fifth. Muhlenkamp walked and Heyne worked a 2-0 count to chase Callow (for lefty Justin Overmyer). He ended up walking. A wild pitch advanced both runners. Both eventually touched the dish on wild pitches as Overmyer (1/3 inning) was replaced by Adrian Camp, who got the final two outs. The visitors received a leadoff single by Camp, a sacrifice bunt by Jake Lippi and a groundout by Overmyer to get Camp at third but he stayed there. The Knights then made things interesting in the top of the sixth. Rolsten walked and Mitch Rickard had a 2-0 count before Muhlenkamp was relieved by southpaw Brandon Kunk. Rickard and then Richardson walked to load the bases. Simerman unloaded them with a triple to deep right center but Kunk got the next three batters to keep the damage to 5-3. Camp gave up a leadoff single by Matt Kramer in the Coldwater sixth and Brody Hoying bunted him up a base. However, Hoying was picked off by Camp. Muhlenkamp walked and stole second but Heyne flied out to end the threat. Kunk had a 1-0 count on Crestview pinch-hitter in the

around to score on a Bartley RBI single. Anthony Borack and Jake Lautzenheiser both picked up RBIs in the third with a base hit and a fielders choice to make the score 6-2, Van Wert.

Pirates, Indians set up Little League finals showdown

BY JIM METCALFE Staff Writer jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com VAN WERT The Delphos Pirates and the K of C Indians won their respective Tri-County Little League Tournament semifinals on a brilliant but hot and humid Monday afternoon/evening at First Bank of Berne Field at Jubilee Park in Van Wert. In the nightcap, the Pirates (14-6) got serious revenge on the Delphos Braves (128), who had beaten them all three times this season and not given up a run in the process. They used a 6-run third inning to chase Braves starter Tyler Bratton (2-plus innings, 4 hits, 5 runs, 4 earned, 1 walks, 2 strikeouts) and then held on for a 6-4 triumph. Lefty Luke Reindel got the triumph (3 innings, 5 hits, 2 runs, 1 earned, 5 Ks) and Lucas Metcalfe mopped up (3 IPs, 5 hits, 2 runs, 1 earned, 2 BBs, 3 Ks). Metcalfe and (run, 2 runs batted in) and Connor Anspach (run, RBI) were 2-for-3. Tony Sanders (2 IPs, 2 hits, 1 unearned run) and Brady Welker (2 IPs, 1 hit, 1 K) mopped up for the Braves. Bratton led the hitting with a 4-for-4 performance (2 runs), Welker was 2-for-3 (RBI) and Sanders had two RBIs. Trailing 2-0 to start the third, the Pirates got it going against Bratton. Dominic Hines started it with a double down the right-field line and Brady Parrish singled to right. He moved up on a wild pitch and Braxton Scalf walked to load the bases. Anspach blooped a single to left to score Hines. Reindel was hit by a pitch to load the bases and bring Sanders to the mound. Metcalfe launched a liner up the gut to plate Parrish and Scalf and take a 3-2 edge. An out later, an error on a grounder hit by Jaylon Jefferson plated Reindel and make it 5-2. Logan Huberts groundout got Metcalfe home for a 6-2 edge. Sanders beat out an infield hit to short to start the home half and advanced on a wild pitch. Welker bounced out to short and first baseman Parrishs smart relay to third doubled up Sanders. Anspach singled to right with two down in the fourth but was caught stealing by catcher Tyler Bratton. Peter Ankerman doubled to deep center in the home fourth against Metcalfe. Metcalfe doubled off the fence in center with one out in the fifth and advanced on a Hunter Haehn bounceout. Bratton stung one to center to commence the home fifth and Hunter Mericle beat out an infield hit off the pitchers glove; an error on the ensuing rundown advanced both runners. Sanders plated Bratton on a comebacker and Mericle moved to third, from where he scored on a ground single to center Welker. He advanced on two wild pitches. Carter Teman walked and swiped second. However, both were left stranded. With two down in the home sixth, Bratton doubled to deep left and Mericle walked. However, Metcalfe retired the final batter. Reindel got aboard on a 2-out single to center in the top of the first. The Braves went up 2-0 in the home half. Bratton singled up the gut and Mericle sacrificed; an error on the play allowed runners on the corners. Sanders forced Mericle at second to plate Bratton. Welker got aboard on a bad-hop single past shortstop. Doug Long doubled to right center to get Sanders home for the second run. Bratton beat out an infield hit to short with two down in the home half. In the opener, the K of Indians (18-2) got a combined 3 hitter from winning pitcher Nate Place (3 IPs, 1 hit, 6 Ks) and Jake Lautzenheiser (save, 3 IPs, 2 hits, 2 BBs, 4 Ks) to oust the Greif Rangers (10-9) 1-0. The Indians scored once in the bottom of the second to get the win. Clayton Proffitt went 2-for-3. The Rangers got a complete game from Brad Fuerst (5 hits, earned run, 3 BBs, 7 Ks). The Indians got the games only run in the home second. Place walked and Lennon Bentley doubled to deep center. A wild pitch plated Place and advanced Bentley to third. Two outs later, Ezra Friesner walked but the runners remained on the corners. The Rangers got their first hit with one down in the visiting third on a single by Jared Lautzenheiser. The Indians challenged in the third. Clayton Proffitt singled with one down in the third but Kyle Sperry forced him at second. Place rocketed a double off the fence in left center but again, two runners were stranded. Greif got a 2-out blooper to left by Fuerst, a stolen base and a walk to Skylar Willingham in the upper fourth. Mason Rogers led off the K of C fourth with a walk and Anthony Borack singled him to third two outs later, taking second on the throw. Again, two runners were stranded. Greif again challenged in its half of the fifth on a 2-out double to left by Gavin Flickinger and an intentional pass to Ryan Hollingsworth but could not score. Proffitt singled to start the home fifth but was cut down on a Sperry grounder. Place forced Sperry at second. A stolen base and wild pitch advanced Place to third but he was left there. Gabe Steyer was hit by a pitch with two down in the top of the sixth but was caught stealing by Rogers to end the game.

DEAR BRUCE: We are a husband and wife in our 70s, Bruce Williams and we are considering selling our residence to move into an apartment. Our home should sell for $150,000 to $170,000. In your columns in the local newspaper, you often advise people who are considering such a move that the best approach would be to sell the house, invest the proceeds at 7 percent and use the income toward the rental. Our question is, exactly where may we find investments that will pay 7 percent? In todays world, that seems like an extremely high rate of return on investment. Being seniors, we may not wish to get hung up in the stock markets fluctuations, but we do wish to obtain the average 7 percent that you keep telling us is possible. We dont expect a guaranteed 7 percent return; even 5 percent to 6 percent would do nicely. -- B.W., via email DEAR B.W.: You ask where you can find a 7 percent return on investment, then go on to say that you dont wish to get hung up in the stock markets fluctuations. Well, you cant have it both ways. Many responsible brokers can deliver returns of 5 percent to 7 percent. Yes, there may be times when the market takes a hit and you will have a negative return. But on balance, a return of 5 percent to 7 percent is not an unreasonable goal. You cannot be totally risk-averse to accomplish this. You have to be able to accept that the market does change. In the event that you are totally risk-averse, you are correct when you say that you will get a low return, generally 1 percent or less. DEAR BRUCE: I am a 74-year-old female, divorced. I had to quit my job a few years ago because of poor health and had to live and pay bills on credit cards, on which I now owe more than $30,000. Consequently, I took out a reverse mortgage and didnt receive much cash. However, it eliminated the monthly mortgage payments, which helps a lot. I now live only on Social Security ($1,204 a month). I want to declare bankruptcy, but my lawyer tells me I cant because I still have some equity in the house. How is it that these rich Hollywood stars are allowed to declare bankruptcy and stay in their mansions? Is there any way around this? I really need to get these collection people off my back. I anxiously await your reply. -- Avid Reader, via email DEAR AVID READER: I dont understand why your attorney says you cant declare bankruptcy because you have some equity in the house. You didnt give me the numbers, but if the house is worth a great deal and you owe the mortgage company only a modest amount of money, its entirely possible that the house could be sold and you could pay off your obligations. Your primary home, in almost every case, can be protected in an absolute bankruptcy. I dont know where you found this attorney, but I would seek out one who specializes in bankruptcy. I think you will find that you would have this protection. DEAR BRUCE: I hired a company back in 2009 to take care of my taxes. They were recommended by a company I used to work for. Recently I found out that they never filed my taxes, and I have 30 days to file three years of taxes. What can I do? -- R.W., via email DEAR R.W.: You say the company never filed any of your taxes? Why in the world would that be? If this is a reputable company, then this is an oversight, but it sounds like the company simply took your money and failed to file on your behalf. If that is the case, fraud has been committed. The first thing you ought to do is explain to the IRS what is happening and that you are considering filing a complaint against this company for what it neglected to do. Your next move is to discuss with the IRS what you can do to have this thing straightened out. If fraud has been committed, by all means go after the company.

Risk-averse must settle for pitiful returns

Cleaning your bathtub SARA NOEL can be a chore. To clean your tub with ease, make a homemade cleaner. Use 12 ounces of vinegar (heat it in the microwave) and 12 ounces of Dawn dishwashing liquid. Combine and pour into a large spray bottle. Spray your tub, scrub using a bath puff, loofah or pantyhose stuffed with a washcloth, then rinse. For stubborn buildup, leave the cleaning mixture on for a few hours, then scrub away. The first reader tip shares another way to clean your tub: Second use for dryer sheets: I scrub my tub out with used dryer sheets. They dont scratch, and they work well on soap scum. -- Trisha, Indiana Keep your home tidy: Once I got the house decluttered, I set up household rules. The first rule was training everyone to put items back after they have used them. When it comes to bringing new stuff in the home, there has to be a need and a place for it first. If I want to buy a new piece of clothing, its bought knowing that a similar item will be thrown away or donated if still in good condition. I also have a lockbox in my room. If the kids leave something lying around after they go to bed, that item goes in the lockbox and the child can buy it back for $1. If the child doesnt buy it back after a month, it gets donated or tossed. The item my kids have to buy back the most is homework. The money they pay me goes in the family fun jar. -- Peach, North Carolina Use an electric teapot: The largest drains on my electrical power are those elements that heat. I shut off my huge 40-gallon water heater at the electrical panel. When I need hot water, I use an electric teapot (Aroma brand). It holds 1.5 liters of water, which is enough to do the dirty dishes. The water is boiling hot in just a few minutes. I also have a bucket in the shower to collect the cold water that comes out before the hot arrives. I water my plants on the patio with this water. I bought an electric teakettle for my bath, and I take a sponge bath every other day. Every other day I turn on the power for my water heater. I take a shower and wash a load of white clothes using the remainder of the hot water in the tank. My monthly electric bills are $100 cheaper than my neighbors. I also put in a new A/C, new energy efficient windows and metal roof, but I think the water heater idea is saving the most money, and it makes me more conscious of the energy I consume. -- Gail S., email This stuff works for stains: While my husband and I were taking the tank off a toilet we were removing, rust from the bottom of the tank splashed on my shirt. I tried rinsing with cold water and detergent, but it didnt work. I picked up a small bottle of Grandmas Secret Spot Remover from the local quilt shop and tried it. I put it on the stain and let it sit overnight, washed it the next day and the stain was gone! I am buying a bigger bottle the next time I see it. -- Mary M., Pennsylvania Note from Sara: Grandmas Secret Spot Remover can be found at stores such as Ace Hardware, Walgreens and Michaels.

Tomorrows Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol

HI AND LOIS

Acts of kindness, compassion and generosity could produce extra benefits for you in the year ahead. This could be especially true in situations where you do things for others without seeking any benefits for yourself. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -When doing work that requires an eye for detail, you had better keep your mind on the task at hand. A lack of attention could quickly ruin your endeavor. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Be content with what youre doing and with whom you are sharing your time. Once you start wishing you were elsewhere, youll lose what the moment has to offer. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Its marvelous when we can take others at their word, but unfortunately several persons might promise you things today that they have no intention of fulfilling. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Usually, youre pretty good at clarifying your objectives, especially if it involves something that could enhance your know-how. Today, however, your system might go awry. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -If you plan to visit shops that offer tantalizing merchandise you know you cant afford, it would be best to leave your credit cards at home. Nows not the time to be a spendthrift. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Any project or endeavor that doesnt have your wholehearted support shouldnt be pursued today. It would be best to temporarily shelve such matters until youre in a more favorable mood. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- If a friend does something worthy of praise, be sure to compliment him or her. However, dont use false flattery or be insincere just to give this person an ego boost. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Youre a generous and giving person, and these are admirable traits. However, dont allow an unworthy manipulator to use flattery on you and abuse your good nature. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- If your objectives arent clearly defined, you could go off on an unproductive tangent and end up with little or nothing to show for your effort. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -Dont expect to be too convincing if you try to sell others on some ideas or concepts that you dont truly believe in. It takes sincerity to generate support. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- If you ask someone for an opinion on an important matter, make sure it is a person who will tell you the truth. Thats the only way youll get the advice you need. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -Companions will get miffed at you if they fail to understand why you say one thing and do another. It is important for you to clearly define your motives and ** actions.

Elida Local Schools Board fills open seat

BY STACY TAFF Staff Writer staff@delphosherald.com ELIDA The vacant seat on the Elida Local Schools Board of Education has been filled by Pat Schymanski of Elida Visionaries, a longtime supporter of the district. Schymanski was one of four candidates who applied for the empty spot left by board member Brad Settlage, who cited medical reasons for his resignation. Jonathan Nichols, a 2002 graduate of Elida, was one of the four to apply for the open position. He turned in a public participation card to express his support for the boards decision. While unfortunately I was not the individual chosen, I do want to stand here and say that my time with you yesterday and being able to talk with you, theres no doubt in my mind that every one of you has the schools best interest in mind, he said. Having known Mr. Schymanski for quite some time and having worked with him at General Dynamics, he is an extremely well-equipped individual to serve here on the board and I believe that you guys are all honored to sit next to him and work with him. Schymanski retired from General Dynamics in 2010. As an Elida parent and supporter, he has been involved in the Elida district to varying degrees for more than 25 years. In other news, the district is making plans to go back on the ballot this November after two failed requests for new money in the last year. This new levy will need to generate $1,939,346 annually for five years to provide for

Justice still on trial

BY JESSE WASHINGTON AP National Writer Justice is supposed to be the American way. But the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the killing of Trayvon Martin has revealed two starkly different visions of what Americans think justice should be. What is justice for Martin the 17-year-old black youth, mourned by many as a victim who was minding his own business when he fell under misplaced suspicion? What is justice for Zimmerman, seen by many others as a good neighbor who made a fatal mistake? The national conversation over the verdict shows two sides talking about two different things: either the two minutes when Zimmerman and Martin fought face to face, or the centuries of racial context that many believe caused a senseless death. The debate also has revealed deep resistance to the idea that justice in this case might not be black and white, but could include a gray area with important parts of both visions. Is justice getting the bad guy? asks Gene Demby, who writes about race for National Public Radios Code Switch blog. So many of us, he says, have very different ideas of what the bad guys look like. Martin and Zimmerman each thought he was the good guy on a rainy night in February 2012. Zimmerman, a Hispanic neighborhood watch volunteer, spotted Martin, who was simply walking home from the store wearing a hoodie. Zimmerman called police to report a suspicious person up to no good. Martin, on his cell phone, told a friend that a creepy-ass cracker was following him. They fought testimony differed regarding who was on top of whom and then Zimmerman shot Martin once in the chest. Zimmerman said he killed Martin in self-defense. A jury of six women five white, one described as Hispanic, none black found him not guilty of seconddegree murder or manslaughter. Among the things jurors were instructed to consider was whether Zimmerman believed he was in severe danger during the fight with Martin. What led to the fight was not the issue, according to the only juror who has spoken publicly. The juror, who did not allow her name to be used, told CNN that Zimmerman didnt use good judgment and he shouldnt have gotten out of his car. But she believes that Martin attacked Zimmerman, and that he had a right to defend himself. Says Richard Lowry, editor of the National Review, the conservative magazine: It was a terrible tragedy; it never should have happened. Zimmerman showed awful judgment, it has placed an unspeakable burden on the Martin family but it just wasnt a crime.

Pat Schymanski, a longtime supporter of Elida Local Schools, was sworn in as the districts newest Board of Education member Tuesday evening. Schymanski filled the seat vacated by Brad Settlage, who resigned for medical reasons. (Delphos Herald/Stacy Taff) the emergency requirements of the district. The board approved a resolution for Treasurer Joel Parker to submit the levy proposal to the Allen County Auditor for certification. The board approved the following resignation: Kristy Ringwald, Elida High School English teacher, effective Aug. 19. The following certified personnel were approved for employment: Melanie Nixon (correction), Elida Elementary principal, three-year contract; Maureen Rentz, Special Education Officer, effective Aug. 1, three-year contract; Dennis Thompson, part-time math teacher, Elida High School, effective Aug. 23, one-year contract.

Council

In addition, Siefker presented a material-only quote to the members of council for a permanent power supply that Siefker is willing to install. He said that instead of drawing from residents and businesses for the festival and other activities, erecting a power source at or near the corner of Second and Water streets would accommodate the band, vendors and P.A. system. Bands need 100 amps and vendors with fryers need 50 amps, Siefker detailed. We need a concrete base adjacent to the Fort with two 200-amp weather-tight breaker boxes on an aluminum or steel pole bolted to the concrete. The quote total for the materials to install the new power source, which came from All Phase in Lima, was $2,220.75. I think its ideal as long as its up high enough to keep people from messing with it, Smith said. We dont want to create an eyesore or hazard. Ill talk to the power company (AEP) and arrange a meeting, Siefker stated. Ill let council know and we could all meet and make a decision on placement.

We just have to stay in the right of way, Smith said. Council passed the motion to purchase the materials and approved Siefker performing the installation. In the Police Committee Report, councilman Greg Brown reported that there were minimal incidents, the police department air conditioning was not working and there were three new auxiliary officers hired. Smith read the Maintenance Report and noted that the villages tractor is fixed. He also said the broken air conditioner at the police department has been torn apart and repaired before. Maintenance Supervisor Ted Wrasman suggested purchasing a new one since the unit is fairly old. In addition, the fax machine quit working at the police department and Wrasman and Vaughn receive and send a lot of faxes. It may be $300 bucks max for a new AC, Smith stated. I gave Ted mine (fax machine) and we can check to see if the copier there at the station will do faxes. The next village council meeting will be held at 7:30 p.m. on Aug. 16 at the Jennings library.

Spencerville

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) In one of the most harrowing spacewalks in decades, an astronaut had to rush back into the International Space Station on Tuesday after a mysterious water leak inside his helmet robbed him of the ability to speak or hear at times and could have caused him to choke or even drown. Italian Luca Parmitano was reported to be fine after the dangerous episode, which might have been caused by an unprecedented leak in the cooling system of his suit. His spacewalking partner, American Christopher Cassidy, had to help him head inside after NASA quickly aborted the spacewalk. No one neither the astronauts in orbit nor flight controllers in Houston breathed easier until Parmitano was back inside and his helmet was yanked off. He looks miserable. But OK, Cassidy assured everyone. It was the first time in years that a spacewalk came to such an abrupt halt and the first time since NASAs Gemini program in the mid-1960s that a spacewalker became so incapacitated. Spacewalking always carries high risk; a puncture by a micrometeorite or sharp edge, if big enough, could result in instant death. In a late afternoon news conference, NASA acknowledged the perilous situation that Parmitano had found himself in, and space station operations manager Kenneth Todd promised to turn over every rock to make sure it never happens again. Spacewalking is dangerous already, noted flight director David Korth. Then on top of that, go stick your head in a fishbowl and try to walk around. Thats not anything that you take lightly, he said. He did a great job of just keeping calm and cool as the amount of water ominously increased. Grace under pressure, Korth said. The two astronauts were outside barely an hour, performing routine cable work on their second spacewalk in eight days, when Parmitano reported the leak. It progressively worsened as the minutes ticked by, drenching the back of his head, then his eyes, nose and, finally, mouth by the time he was in the air lock, the pressure chamber. He could have choked or drowned on the floating globs of water, NASA officials said. Between one and one-and-a-half liters of water leaked into his helmet and suit, NASA estimated. The source of the leak wasnt immediately known, but the main culprit appeared to be iodine-laced water that is piped through the long underwear worn under a spacesuit, for cooling. The system holds nearly four liters, or one gallon. Less likely was the 32-ounce (about one liter) drink bag that astronauts sip from during lengthy spacewalks; Parmitano reported the leaking water tasted odd.

Coroner: Glee actor Monteith died of overdose

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) Glee actor Cory Monteith, who had struggled for years with substance abuse and once said he was lucky to be alive, died of an overdose of heroin and alcohol, the British Columbia coroners office said Tuesday. There is no evidence to suggest Mr. Monteiths death was anything other than a most tragic accident, the office said in a statement. The 31-year-old was found dead in his Vancouver, British Columbia, hotel room on Saturday after he didnt check out on time. He was believed to be alone when he died. Hotel video and electronic records indicate he returned to his room by himself early Saturday. At a briefing Tuesday afternoon, police said they believe Monteith had been dead for several hours before he was found. They said the coroners report didnt indicate the levels of heroin or alcohol in his system. They ruled out foul play. Our belief is that when he took the heroin he was alone, said Vancouver Police Department spokesman Brian Montague. He added: There was evidence in the room that was consistent with a drug overdose. Were not providing exactly what we found at the scene. Police said it was too early for the coroners office to conclude whether Monteith was the victim of a bad batch of heroin, which turns up from time to time in Vancouver. Monteiths death recalled the lives of Heath Ledger, Corey Haim and River Phoenix actors who battled substance abuse and died in their 20s and 30s. Monteith had talked bluntly about struggling with addiction since he was a teenager, calling it a serious problem and telling Parade magazine in 2011 he was lucky to be alive.

(Continued from page 1) Council heard on second reading a measure allowing Berquist to apply for OPWC funds for an East Second Street capital improvement project from Douglas Street to Main Street. The proposed project is estimated at $188,757 with the citys share $37,751. Council passed legislation addressing residents who fail to maintain their properties to city ordinances. The proposed ordinance raises the charge to have uncontrolled vegetation growth removed by the city to include but not be limited to: $200 minimum for the first hour or any increment thereof and $100 for any hour any increment thereof after the first hour and a $50 administrative fee. Currently, the city does the work for $50 per hour and a $25 administrative fee. Also passed was a resolution to donate one family season pass valued at $195 to Community Health Professionals for the annual banquet.

Cooks investigation included using police officer Amy Geiger as a decoy online she pretended to be a 14-year-old girl and friends with the 15-year-old victim to lure the suspect back to Spencerville. I told Amy to just get on there (online) and talk with him, Cook detailed. He drove up from Dayton in 1 1/2 hours. The first arranged meeting between the decoy and the suspect failed due to the storms on July 10 but the second meeting yielded the arrest of Farooq Shah, CEO of MidWest Star Inc., a franchisee of Hardees. He has since been booked into the Allen County Jail on rape charges and then transferred to the Mercer County Jail. The Spencerville police will file a felony case to the Allen County Grand Jury pending the prosecutors review. Mayor John P. Johnsons discussion turned to the water treatment facility and where the contract stands. The village contracted with Kirk Brothers Company, Inc., who subcontracted H2O Innovation to design and fabricate water tanks for the village. There have been redesign issues which have held up production for months. Kirk Brothers had been holding payments to H2O Innovation until the tanks are approved by the State of Ohio. Kirk Brothers have terminated the contract with H2O, Johnson stated. Shawn Chapman, Alan Smith and I have had meetings with Kirk Brothers to discuss the situation. During the scheduled Aug. 5 council meeting, Kirk Brothers will give a presentation including options of how the village can proceed. Theres been no loss of money, Johnson assured council.

H2O backed out of the contract, Smith stated. In a decisive vote, members of council unanimously approved the 2014 tax budget. Council members also approved a variety of ordinances and resolutions, including: Resolution #13-23, opposing the development and construction of wind farms, towers and transmission lines conveying wind-generated electricity through the village of Spencerville; Resolution #13-25, increasing the village income tax by .25 percent and designating it for police department operations; and Resolution #13-26, notifying the Board of Elections of the .25 percent income tax increase for the November ballot. Johnson addressed the hearing set for July 25 for Dollar General Alcohol Sales permit. The store sits adjacent to school property and selling alcohol from that location is against the law. I have not received a confirmation yet from (Dollar Generals) Vice President of Governmental Affairs, Johnson stated. They (corporate) may not have known the logistics. In the Administrators report, written by Chapman and read by Johnson, Chapman reported that so far this year, the village has had 25 water main breaks. Per a cost analysis from a few years ago, the average cost was $1,500 per leak, which means the village has spent close to $37, 500 this year on repairs. Based on this information, Chapman recommends appropriating enough money on an annual basis to replace the existing water lines. In addition to the water line issues, crews repaired two sinkholes along the south edge of East Fourth Street, east of Wisher Drive in front of United Church of Christ. Village council will meet at 6:30 p.m. July 22 to discuss financial options on insurance rates and coverages for village employees.

Answers to Mondays questions: The bowler hat was originally designed for English gamekeepers (game wardens), who had previously worn top hats on the job. It was named for brothers Thomas and William Bowler, who designed it in 1849. In none of his films did screen legend James Cagney say his oft-imitated line, You dirty rat. The closest he came to saying it was in the 1932 film Taxi! when he said, Come out and take it, you dirty, yellow-bellied rat, or Ill give it to you through the door. Todays questions: How was money raised to pay for the bronze statues of Zeus that were erected at the Olympic Games held in ancient Greece? When it comes to the theaters, what is continental seating? Answers in Thursdays Herald. A very well-known international furniture and interior decoration D.I.Y. Store recently set up a customer assistance department. The first call they got was from a lady who had purchased a wardrobe early in the morning. She explained that after assembly the wardrobe had crumbled three times when the public transport bus passed in front of her house. The store sent a technician over to her place. He reassembled the wardrobe - which was in the night hall on the second floor - and then went into it to observe what would happen when the bus, which was due a few minutes later, went by. The phone rang just then and the lady went downstairs to take the call. Just then her husband came home from work with a terrible flue condition. Hearing his wife on the phone he trudged upstairs where he found the wardrobe; on opening one of the doors and seeing the man inside he exclaimed What the dickens are you doing in there? To which the guy replied I know youll never believe this, but Im waiting for the bus.
