LANDECK When Pat Rode stepped
onto the playground Thursday afternoon, she
wasnt overly surprised to find her family, the
Landeck Elementary staff and student body all
outside to wish her a happy retirement. Rode,
who has been a cafeteria cook at Landeck for
30 years, knows the drill by now.
I knew it was going to happen sometime, I
just wasnt sure when, she laughed.
Rode knew it was time to retire but she
admits the decision wasnt an easy one to make.
Ill miss the kids so much. Theyve been
so pleasant and their smiles have always made
my day better, she said. Thats why I was so
hesitant to quit. I came down with cancer six
years ago and theyve all been such a big sup-
port for me.
Rodes plans for her retirement to involve
ample time spent with her husband, children
and grandchildren and some volunteering.
I think Ill be volunteering at different
places and spending some time at the lake,
she said. I also plan to spend a lot of time with
family.
Rode and her husband Art have five chil-
dren: Cheryl (Tony) Beining, Gary (Elaine)
Rode, Denise (Ron) Schnipke, Teresa (Phil)
Wurst and Sandy (Denny) Berelsman. They
have 21 grandchildren and four great-grand-
children.
I just want to thank everyone for every-
thing, especially for the last six years, Rode
said. Theyve given me so much support and
theyve given me their prayers.

The Great Kaplan
Huysman wraps up 41-year career at St. Johns
BY NANCY SPENCER
Herald Editor
nspencer@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS Some peo-
ple go to work everyday and
some are fortunate enough to
do what they love everyday. A
lucky few get to do both.
Friday was a bittersweet
day for retiring St. Johns
High School Principal Don
Huysman. As the hallways
emptied at the last bell of the
school year, the 41-year vet-
eran educator and administrator
looked around his office at the
array of mementos he amassed
during his career. The back wall
is lined with pictures of his
graduating classes. The front
outside edge of his desk is filled
with cards wishing him well on
his next endeavors and thank-
ing him for his dedication.
This had never been
a job, Huysman said as he
looked up and smiled. The
kids made it that way. Theyre
my kids. I love it when they
come back and see me. Thats
what makes it all worth while.
They come back and tell me
how well they are doing and
let me know I had a part in it.
Huysman also credited
those he worked with for his
longevity.
I have met so many great
people. They are who Im
going to miss the most, he
said. There are so many here
and in the community with
tremendous dedication to what
they do. I want to the thank the
people of Delphos for their sup-
port. Its a great community.
Huysman, a St. John alum-
nus, didnt always want to be a
teacher. During his early col-
lege years, he spent two sum-
mers working at Kolkmeyer
Funeral Home and and then
attended mortuary school and
became a licensed funeral
director and even served his
apprenticeship.
That is a tough business,
he said. You have to be on
call all the time. That life just
wasnt for me.
So he took a look around,
saw his brother, Ron, who was
a teacher, and decided to try
it. After graduating from Ohio
State University, Huysman
tried in earnest to get a job.
I looked everywhere, he
said. There were just no full-
time positions available.
Then came the call from St.
Johns High School Principal
George Adams.
He said he had a part-time
position at the elementary school
and one at the high school and
asked if I wanted to do both,
Huysman recalled. I said I
would and then I lived out of a
briefcase for a couple years and
then I just never left. You never
know where God will lead you. Retiring St. Johns High School Principal Don Huysman displays the photos of his
graduating classes in his office Friday. He holds the one of this years graduating class.

The existing median curb in both the
eastbound and westbound directions will be
extended at the intersections of American

Consumer alert - federal health care
confusion triggering potential scams
Information submitted
COLUMBUS Ohio Lieutenant
Governor and Insurance Director Mary
Taylor has issued a consumer alert after
reports have surfaced that telephone con art-
ists are using the confusion surrounding the
Affordable Care Act (ACA) to attempt to steal
Ohioans personal information. The scammers
are claiming to be representatives of a health
insurance exchange, Medicare or a govern-
ment program.
The Ohio Department of Insurance has
been made aware of attempts to scam Ohioans
by capitalizing on confusion around federal
health care, Taylor said. No one from an
official government program should be call-
ing you requesting your personal information.
If you are contacted by a suspicious caller,
do not provide your personal information,
including your Medicare, Social Security and
bank account numbers.
Specifically in Ohio, Scammers are:
Claiming to be authorized to help people
navigate the health insurance exchange cre-
ated under the ACA and say they need to
verify the persons name, address and Social
Security number.
Tip: Health insurance exchange open
enrollment does not begin until Oct. 1. The
marketing of plans offering coverage through
the exchange has not begun.
Claiming to be a Medicare representative
and that because of the ACA the persons
information needs verified in order to receive
a new Medicare card.
Tip: New Medicare cards are not being
issued because of the federal health care law.
Claiming they need the persons Medicare
number to provide them an updated medical
emergency alert device. One of the brand
names mentioned was Lifeline.
Tip: Medicare does not cover medical alert
devices.

sentatives do not make house calls or solicit
by telephone.

Study on female
breadwinners
ignites verbal brawl
AP Television Writer
NEW YORK Fox News
Channel anchor Megyn Kelly
said Friday that shes offended
by a male colleagues sugges-
tion that children of working
mothers dont fare as well as
children with stay-at-home
moms.
A Pew Research Center
study released this week show-
ing that women are now the
primary breadwinners in 40
percent of households with
children ignited a sharp debate
on Fox with two of the net-
works most prominent women
taking on male colleagues. It
culminated in an electric on-air
exchange Friday among Kelly,
Fox contributor Erick Erickson
and anchor Lou Dobbs.
The debate also included
with the unusual for Fox
use of President Barack Obama
as a symbol of success.
What makes you dominant
and me submissive and who
died and made you scientist-in-
chief? Kelly said to Erickson.
Dobbs had convened a
panel with three other men who
bemoaned the studys findings
Wednesday on the Fox Business
Network. Juan Williams said
the study showed that some-
things gone terribly wrong in
American society and its hurt-
ing our children. Pollster Doug
Schoen suggested that the social
order is being undermined.
Erickson said that in nature,
the male is typically dominant.
He later wrote that children in
a two-parent traditional house-
hold will more often than not be
more successful than children of
single or gay parents.
We should not kid ourselves
or scream so loudly in politi-
cally correct outrage to drown
the truth, Erickson wrote on his
redstate.com blog. Kids most
likely will do best in households
where they have a mom at home
nurturing them while dad is out
bringing home the bacon.
Fox prime-time host Greta
Van Susteren blogged in
response: Have these men lost
their minds? She wrote that
the next thing theyll have is a
segment to discuss eliminating
womens right to vote.
Erickson told Kelly on
Friday that it isnt healthy for
society when the roles of men
and women in the family are
interchangeable.
Kelly said plenty of data sug-
gest that children in homes with
homosexual parents or working
mothers are as healthy and able
to thrive in society as children
with stay-at-home moms. Kelly,
a mother of two, dismissed
Ericksons contention that he
wasnt judging others.

SHERROD BROWN
Student loan debt now
exceeds $1 trillion. Thats
more than credit card debt.
Thats more than auto loans.
In fact, student loan debt
is only second to mortgage
debt in this country.
Thats unconscionable.
Students and their families
should not have to sign away
their financial futures in
order to get a good educa-
tion. Yet todays graduates
arent just leaving campus
with newly minted degrees;
theyre leaving with a life-
time of debt.
Students at KSU and
OSU, Sinclair and Cincinnati
State, Ohio University and
the University of Toledo,
and countless other schools
throughout our state are
looking forward to starting
their futures upon gradu-
ation. These students will
graduate into an econom-
ic recovery and better job
prospects than other recent
graduates, but their heavi-
er debt burden means that
graduates will spend their
adulthood paying off their
debts instead of buying a
home, starting a business,
or continuing on to graduate
school. Money that could
be spent for productive eco-
nomic activity will instead
go to servicing debt.
According to the Wall
Street Journal, the aver-
age student-loan debt for a
borrower earning a bach-
elors degree this year is
$30,000. Thats why subsi-
dized Federal Direct Stafford
Loans are so important. Most
independent Stafford bor-
rowers about 80 percent
come from families making
less than $40,000 a year.
Unfortunately, unless
Congress acts soon, more
than 361,000 college stu-
dents in Ohio will face an
average of $1,000 more in
costs over the life of their
loan, per subsidized Stafford
loan.
Beginning on July 1,
interest rates on these need-
based loans will double
from 3.4 percent to 6.8 per-
cent for borrowers, unless
we do something to stop
it. Allowing Stafford Loan
interest rates to increase will
hinder Ohio students ability
to afford college and hurt
Americas economic com-
petitiveness.
Thats why Im fighting
to pass the Student Loan
Affordability Act, which
would keep college afford-
able for more middle-class
and low-income students.
The bill would accomplish
this by maintaining the cur-
rent interest rate for subsi-
dized Federal Direct Stafford
Loans at 3.4 percent. This
legislation would help
ensure that more Ohioans
can achieve their dream of
going to college at no extra
cost to taxpayers.
In fact, this bill would
close several wasteful loop-
holes. Among other things,
this fully paid for bill would
close a loophole for busi-
nesses that shutters their
doors in the U.S. only to
open in China or India or
Brazil and get a tax break for
moving expenses.
And it would ensure all
forms of crude oil are includ-
ed in the Oil Spill Liability
Trust Fund, eliminating
a special tax loophole the
saves the oil industry money
but not making them pay
to clean up tar sands or oil
sands.
More must be done to
keep down the cost of higher
education and the federal
government must continue to
provide students with federal
student loan options with
borrower-friendly terms.
Students should not be
required to mortgage their
future or delay their opportu-
nities for a better life because
of student loan debt. We
can solve this problem, and
save money by passing the
Student Loan Affordability
Act.

Civil War mail
In my last article we started talking about
the Confederate Mail System. If you recall, I
indicated that both sides tried to make things
difficult for the other in getting mail across
the distinct borders. Ironically, the way much
of the mail was transported from back and
forth was through the exchange of prisoners
of war. This system was necessary because of
the vast numbers of prisoners and the shortage
of places to hold them. The prisoner of war
mail exchange went on until June 1863. At that
point the tensions were very high and there was
a mutual mistrust. In previous articles I wrote
about manuscript postmarks and stampless
covers. Pieces of mail from the various military
prisons are quite rare and are a much sought
after commodity.
There is so much information that can be
learned from looking at one of these covers.
The dates, names and addresses to and from as
well as the postmarks and other postal mark-
ings served as a living record and historians
are able to put together timelines and can
verify places and events based on these same
markings. Most of the prisons did not have any
formal postal system and postmarks were usu-
ally from the nearest town. Thus historians are
able to determine town names, and locations
of prisons and the volumes of people held in
captivity. All of this is vital to the study of Civil
War Military Postal History.
If you have taken a tour of our museum
you would certainly learn about franking privi-
leges. Dignitaries and people of prominence
were allowed to send mail without the payment
of postage. In the Confederacy, franking privi-
leges existed only until March of 1861 when
PMG Regan removed that privilege. The only
ones that retained the right of franking was
the PMG and a few of his department heads.
Otherwise it required postage. Even letters
from the War Department of the Confederate
States of America required postage.
I continue to talk about the mission of the
mail to bind the nation together. Families
were torn apart while sometimes brothers and
other family members might be serving on both
sides of the war. This war was no different from
any other war in that receiving mail from those
serving in the military was just the lift that
families needed in knowing their loved ones
were still alive. Many of these letters show
how the soldiers begged for those back home to
write more often. There isnt a military veteran
that doesnt get a chill just reading or hearing
the words Mail Call.
That binding included the need to under-
stand how life was being described and record-
ed by those on and off the battlefield. I believe
that the television show MASH 4077 por-
trayed mail service in exactly the right light.
Remember the episodes of spouses or loved
ones sending Dear John letters. One episode
that will remain with me was when Radar was
sent home and BJs wife and daughter Erin
met him when he landed in California. Erin
had never seen her father and called Radar,
Daddy. BJs wife thought it was cute and
wrote about it in a letter. The jealousy and
frustration of being so far away from family
tore BJ apart.
It has been said that when the mothers,
wives and girlfriends of the Civil War military
were responsible for the beginning of city
delivery which began in Cleveland, Ohio.
Supposedly these people would wait at the
post office waiting for mail and this disrupted
operations. The Postmaster told everyone to
go home and they would see that the mail was
delivered.
Besides the prisoner exchanges, mail was
also handled by Blockade Runners. The Union
had used its vast fleet of ships to line the
Atlantic Coast and the Gulf of Mexico in areas
that bordered Confederate states. Thousands of
attempts were made by vessels that carried sup-
plies and mail from Europe and the Caribbean
Islands. They would travel at night and try
to elude or outrun Union ships. It is said that
about 80 percent of the attempts were success-
ful. Since there was a clear passage of mail
between the Union and these same nations,
although it might be a much slower system, it
did prove to be more reliable.
As a note we are starting to receive sev-
eral inquiries about our trip to Monticello and
Williamsburg. I will be in both of those cities
in two weeks making the final preparations for
our trip. Even if you have been to these areas
before (this will be my 10th trip there), we have
activities and entertainment scheduled that you
have never seen before. Call me about our six-
day/five-night tour leaving from Delphos on
Sept. 28. Be sure to call me for more informa-
tion; time is running short. Final counts and
payments are due no later than June 29: Gary

March sales in Van Wert County off slightly
BY ED GEBERT
DHI Correspondent
news@delphosherald.com
VAN WERT After six
straight months of increases,
sales in Van Wert County
slipped a bit during March.
According to a report from
the office of County Treasurer
Bev Fuerst, collections of the
countys 1.5 percent sales tax
made in May and reflecting
March sales were down over
the same month in 2012 by
2.76 percent.
The collection totals indi-
cate how retail sales are going
in the county. Even with the
decrease in the May collec-
tions, for the year the coun-
ty is still running more than
$87,000 ahead of 2012 collec-
tions for the first five months.
A large piece of this years
increase came in the February
report which reflected sales
during the 2012 holiday shop-
ping season.
Van Wert County has been
riding a solid growth trend in
terms of retail sales. The latest
report marks only the sixth
time in the past 38 months that
tax collections have not been
up over the same month the
previous year. Annually, coun-
ty sales tax collections have
increased from $3.28 million
in 2009 to $3.64 million in
2010, $3.90 million in 2011,
and $3.99 million last year. If
sales in the county remain on
the current pace, the county
could realize a total collection
in 2013 of nearly $4.2 million.
This news comes on the
heels of news of a sizable drop
in the countys unemployment
rate in April. The Van Wert
County jobless rate fell from
7.4 percent in March to a five-
year low of 6.6 percent in
April. That report showed an
estimated 100 fewer county
workers searching for a job
during April.

VIEWPOINT
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
KATHLEEN PARKER
Point
of View
2
NANCY SPENCER
On the
Other hand
Ah. Summer vacation.
Staying up late. Sleeping in. Hangin out
with friends. Just doin nothin.
No textbooks, no homework and no
tests.
Sounds like a little slice of heaven cov-
ered in whipped cream to me.
As a kid, who didnt dream about sum-
mer vacation?
The last days of school were excru-
ciating. They seemed to drag on for an
eternity. It was warm and we all wanted to
be outside, not cooped up in a classroom
being tested on how much we had paid
attention during the school year.
I remember gazing out the classroom
window and imagining the fun I was going
to have. I lived in a neighborhood packed
with kids. The possibilities were endless.
The canal was always a place to spend time
fishing and catching turtles and crawdads.
The park was just a hop, skip and a jump
across the canal and always filled with
friends and activity.
Lets not forget the pool. How we
patiently waited for opening day. Wed fly
up to the gates on our bicycles, trying to be
the first in line. Endless days were filled
with water tag and braving the high dive.
I still enjoy a Charleston Chew now and
then; one of my favorites at the pool.
After a quick trip home for supper, it
was back to the pool for the last few hours
of freedom.
And then there was the cottage. The
first was at Flat Rock near Oakwood. Just
a small cottage built on the banks of the
river. It was two rooms with more beds
than anything else. My cousin Brad and I
would take the John boat out on the river
and row and row. We knew the twists and
turns and channels like the back of our
hands.
The second cottage was an A-frame on
Bass Lake in Hillsdale, Mich. Shared with
the Best family, countless memories were
made. The structure was built by the hands
of the two family patriarchs. The early
memories are some of the best. Weekends
were spent getting as much done as pos-
sible before the end of that first summer.
Following summers were spent enjoying
the spoils of their hard work.
Life in general was a lot simpler then.
We didnt spend a lot of time indoors and
if you wanted to talk to a friend, you got
on your bicycle and rode to their house and
did it in person.
Watching television was a treat as mom
was always shooing me outside. Its a nice
day. Go out and play.
We didnt have video games, iPads,
DVDs or even CDs. If you listened to
music it was on the radio or American
Bandstand on Saturday morning.
I dont get a summer vacation anymore.
The price you pay being an adult. Why did
I ever want to grow up so fast?
JUST A
THOUGHT
by Sara Berelsman
Droning about the end of war
WASHINGTON Its
good to know that the war on
terror is finally over. It was all
so ugly, what with the behead-
ings and bombings.
Wait.
Werent we just talk-
ing about the IRS targeting
conservative groups and the
Justice Department secret-
ly seizing reporters phone
records? Werent we just talk-
ing about how no effort was
made to rescue our people in
Benghazi? The official line is
that we couldnt have gotten
there in time but, as numerous
military readers have pointed
out to me, no one knew how
long the siege would last.
How, then, could anyone have
known that there wasnt time
to get there? Turns out maybe,
though hindsight isnt much
of a military strategy.
But, then, I am behind the
news. While I was temporarily
suspended in a fever-induced
fugue, someone apparently
changed the subject. More
relevant suddenly! are
drones, Gitmo and the end
of war. Fine, then. Lets do
war. In a 7,000-word speech
that has been praised as ora-
tory for grown-ups (dissent-
ers presumably are childish),
President Obama intoned that
the time has come to end the
war on terror. Hear, hear.
But does saying its so
make it so?
Surely the limbless victims
of the Boston marathon bomb-
ing, perpetrated by radicalized
Muslims, have no such sense
of the end of terror. Certainly
the family of a British sol-
dier recently hacked to death
in a London street by rant-
ing Islamist lunatics shares no
such understanding of things.
Obamas central point was
that we should keep our eye
on the individual or terrorist
cell but end the open-ended-
ness of our wartime footing.
Our postwar strategy would
depend largely on the use of
drone strikes remote and
tidy by usual war standards.
Most Americans, though
reluctant to enthusiastically
support robot-propelled weap-
onry against unsuspecting
strangers (aka evil-doers),
support Obamas drone policy,
nonetheless. They do draw the
line at killing U.S. citizens on
American soil and also oppose
using drones to catch speed-
ers, according to polling.
It is a nice thought, the
end of war. To make official
our non-war stance, Obama
wants to end the Authorization
for Use of Military Force
passed by Congress in the
aftermath of the attacks on
the World Trade Center and
the Pentagon. Noting that no
president can promise to end
all terror, or the enmity that
informs terrorism, our nation
can ill-afford to continue to
define itself by an endless war.
Whether the authorization
should be eliminated will be
debated in Congress. But lest
we swoon ourselves into a
state of British-style appease-
ment (their solution to the
recent attack is for soldiers not
to wear uniforms), we should
be mindful that Obama has
maintained and/or ratcheted
up nearly every objectionable
measure instituted by his pre-
decessor, George W. Bush.
Obama kept Gitmo
because, like Bush, he dis-
covered he couldnt close it.
He kept and boosted security
measures, including increas-
ing surveillance and expand-
ing law enforcement powers,
even though Bush was loathed
for his draconian measures.
Once during an interview,
Bush told me that he had made
the hard decisions and put the
unpopular things in place. He
promised that his successor
would be grateful. The next
president will need them.
In his speech, Obama
said all the right things about
how some security measures
have raised difficult ques-
tions about the balance we
strike between our interests in
security and our values of pri-
vacy. Sounds good, but lets
be clear: Worry or not, weve
landed on the side of further
limiting liberties.
Similarly, we may end the
war on terror, but we will
still rain shock and awe on
perceived enemies where they
sleep, and in the collateral
damage we say we hate but
ruefully accept on the inno-
cents sleeping nearby.
To Obamas credit, he has
ended the use of torture. We
became temporarily insane
after 9/11, willing to do almost
anything to prevent the next
attack. But torture, besides
producing unreliable informa-
tion, is contrary to our national
soul and a blemish on our his-
tory. We cannot express moral
outrage at the actions of others
when we are committing the
morally outrageous.
Finally, to the larger point,
the war on terror is not over
and saying so wont make
it so. We may change our
strategies, but we should not
convince ourselves that our
enemies are contained. Rather,
they are like cicadas, rising
from their subterranean berths
to wreak havoc when the time
is ripe. Lets hope were ready
when that time comes.

A good
fantasy life
healthy
I have a lot of fantasies.
No, not those kinds of fantasieswell,
maybe those, toobut wait, Im getting off
track here. Im talking about practical fanta-
sies. Like having a house with two bathrooms.
Those kind of fantasies.
I dream of one day living in a home in
which I can use the facilities in peace without
kids banging on the door. I dream that I will
be able to shower from start to finish, enjoy a
relaxing shower without my husband coming
in and doing his business. I dream that I will,
one day, have my own bathroom.
Sure, my dream might not be as noble as,
say, Martin Luther Kings. But its my dream,
just the same. Its not my only dream, either.
I also have visions of one day living in the
woods. I love our cute little house now, but
Ive always seen myself living in an old house
in the woods. I just think itd be great. I like
the idea of being able to go outside without
worrying what Im wearing or whos around.
Every time we now drive by an old home with
character thats located in the woods, I stare
off wistfully and picture us all living there. I
can see it.
Old fireplaces really do it for me, too. If we
ever move again, its on my wish list. I love
them. Id love to spend Christmas Eve gathered
around the fireplace, roasting marshmallows
and listening to Bing Crosby. Nowhere weve
lived has had a fireplace.
Theres always the possibility of adding
onto the house were in nowwhen we moved
here, we did say it was more of a transitional
home and that wed eventually like to make
some improvements, sell it, and then maybe
build. Maybe in the woods! My dad is an
architect, so hes already sketched out plans
of adding onto the house like the first week
we moved in, on the back of a menu at A &
W. (Hes a genius, by the way. Must be where
I get it. Right?) Anyway, now its a matter of
bringing these plans to fruition and thats a
matter of money.
Which brings me back to my fantasies. For
now, thats all theyll be. Hopefully someday
they can be realitiesjust not right now.
So what are some of your home improve-
ment fantasies? I think we all dream of bigger
and/or better at one time or another. Unless
you are the original Joneses, the ones were all
trying to keep up with. Who am I kidding? We
stopped trying to keep up with them years ago.
I actually dont think we ever tried.
So unless you already have it all, Im sure
theres a project or two youd like to start to
improve the ol homestead. Why not make a
plan to do it? Oh, yeah. Money. That pesky
thing again. Well, if you have the money,
whats stopping you? And if you dont have the
money right now
Its always healthy to have a good fantasy
life.

Summer vacation a fond memory

DEAR EDITOR:
With a not so perfect Memorial Day behind us, and before I move on to the next activities
on the Veteran Councils agenda, I want to extend my thanks to those many citizens who braved
the cool, damp day and made time in their busy schedule to be a part of our memorial tribute
to those comrades who gave there all for their country.
Additional thanks is extended to Reverand Ronald Lumm, the Mayor, Mr. Mike Gallmeier,
the Police and Fire Departments, the EMS, St. Johns High School Band, the Cub Scouts,
Jefferson Jr. High Band, and The Delphos Jefferson High School Band. Without these organiza-
tions there would be no parade to honor our fallen heroes.
My appreciation also goes out to the men and women of the Veterans Council. These are
the comrades who perform the veterans funeral services, year round, in all kinds of weather
at the request of the family of a deceased veteran. These veteran members display the protocol
necessary to honor all the comrades who have gone before us.
Additionally, I would like to recognize the VFW, their Color Guard and Ladies Auxiliary,
the American Legion and their Ladies Auxiliary.
Other participants deserving a vote of gratitude include the individual presenters that
placed flowers in remembrance of our veterans. Those individuals include American Legion
Commander Larry Grothouse, Ladies Auxiliary President Sharon Miller, VFW Commander
Michael Hughes, Ladies Auxiliary President Mary Grothause, Military Order of Cooties
(MOC) Representative, John Williams and Richard Schuck for honoring the POW/MIAS.
A heartfelt thanks goes out to Doug Harter Jr. who once again has filled our need for the
playing of taps.
Finally on my list, are two people that made everything come together. A special thanks goes
to Dave Roach, the Master of Ceremonies. Dave has managed to make sense from what I give
him as well as keep the program moving. A job well done.
The final person to compliment for the successful ceremony with his thoughts was 1st
Sergeant Paul Joseph, our guest speaker. His awakening remarks on, Attrition of the Truth,
as well as where we should be, has opened peoples ears to todays ways. Something going
forward could become reality we may not want or expect. We must remember our history and
not allow it to be rewritten.
Lest we forget. Do not forget!

DEAR EDITOR:
Aug. 16, 2012, changed Scott Germans life and his familys forever. The physical and men-
tal road to recovering from that accidental fall, which caused such devastating, traumatic brain
injury, has been the most difficult work Scott has ever done in his life and one heck of a roller
coaster ride for the rest of us.
There were so many ups and downs getting healthy was such a huge fight with so many
setbacks. Yet God heard our prayers and yours to bring Scott and all of us through one terrible
ordeal after another.
The support from this community has been simply been overwhelming. How can we ever
begin to thank you?
Please know that your gifts of gas cards, food cards and cash were so appreciated during
these last nine months for traveling the thousands of miles back and forth to Toledo, Lima and
Columbus to be with Scott and to his doctor and therapy appointments as well. The power
of a loving God, the power of your prayer and your gracious, generous support will never be
forgotten.
Our families continue to thank God every day for whatever you many have done for us
on Scotts long road to recovery. If you organized a fundraiser, if you prepared a meal, if you
dropped cash in a donation bucket, if you purchased a dinners, if you said a prayer, if you paid
a visit, if you gave a hug or words of encouragement or sent a card, we thank you from the bot-
tom of our hearts. There just arent enough words to ever be able to thank you, our families,
our friends, our co-workers and our employers enough. We are amazed and so blessed and we
love you all.
The day weve been waiting on finally arrived last week clearance from his doctor to
return to work. This will be difficult and exhausting so please continue to pray for Scott. The
doctors say it will take at least three to four years for his brain to completely heal but getting
back to work has really made him smile.
Thanks again for your part in his recovery. From he probably wont live through the night
to the rapid recovery hes made, it is truly a miracle.
Our God is an awesome God and we are witness to the miracle He has granted.
Carrie and Scott German
Dear Editor,
I would like to acknowledge a sincere thank you to the Delphos Veterans Council for the
veterans memorial service on Monday.
Your council does itself very proud for the memorial park you planned, raised donations,
recruited volunteers until your plan reached fruition. The end product is beautiful. Many large
communities couldnt hold a candle to what your group has accomplished.
Over the years, I brought my kids to the memorial services and then my grand kids. Now
we just bring ourselves.
I know many in your community respect you for your service and the honor you pay fallen
heroes. I hope they will send donations to the Delphos VFW for the good work they do for
Delphos and surrounding communities to honor veterans. Keep your donations local. This way
you know the money actually benefits tributes for veterans and Made in America flags on
veterans graves.
Thanks also for the luncheon after the service. The food was very good and we enjoyed the
camaraderie with local veterans.
Keep up your good work.
Sincerely,
Mr. and Mrs. Paul Wannemacher

OHIO DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES
DIVISION OF WILDLIFE
Weekly Fish Ohio Fishing Report!
CENTRAL OHIO
Buckeye Lake (Fairfield/Licking/Perry counties) - Use
crankbaits, tubes and creature baits around Clouse Cove
and Cranberry Marsh for largemouth bass; also any rip rap
or woody cover. Try chicken livers on the north shore from
Sellers Point to the north boat ramp when seeking hybrid-
striped bass. For bluegill, fish the eastern side of the lake
using small worms and larval baits beneath a bobber. Crappie
measuring 7-12 inches can be taken using minnows suspended
by a bobber from shoreline areas that have submerged cover.
This is also one of the regions top lakes for carp; try prepared
baits and dough balls fished along the bottom.
Griggs Reservoir (Franklin County) - This 361-acre lake in
Columbus offers shore-fishing access on the east side of the
lake. Largemouth and smallmouth bass are hitting right now;
try plastic tubes and creature baits fished along rip rap and
cover for best results. Crappie are still being found in shallow
water around woody cover; use minnows or jigs suspended by
a bobber fished right in the cover. Carp are large and plentiful
in this local lake; use prepared baits and dough balls.
NORTHWEST OHIO
Lake La Su An Wildlife Area Ponds (Williams County) -
This fishery is intensively managed to maintain the harvest
of large bluegill. All area lakes are open to public fishing on
Fridays-Mondays until July 29; no more than 15 sunfish may
be kept per day for all area lakes and no more than 5 of these
may be 8 inches or more. Most anglers are having success
catching the large fish but finding it difficult to catch fish less
than 8 inches. Largemouth bass must be 18 inches or more
to keep, with a daily bag limit of 5. For additional rules and
information, visit the Divisions webpage.
Bresler Reservoir (Allen County) - Located 4 miles west of
Lima, 1 mile south of SR 81 and 1 mile north of SR 117 on
Kemp and Grubb roads, this reservoir is 582 acres. Bluegill
should be biting right now, with slip bobbers and jigs with
wax worms usually working the best; try the east end of the
north bank. Walleye can also be found; try the shoreline drop-
off along the edge, as well as around the underwater island,
particularly drifting or trolling worm harnesses or crankbaits
in the mornings and evenings. There is a boat ramp located on
the east side; boats are restricted to electric motors only. For
more information or a map, check out the Divisions webpage.
Muddy Creek (Sandusky County) - Catfish should be bit-
ing the next couple of months; anglers can access the water at
the SR 53 Bridge. The best successes have come from fishing
chicken livers or cut bait tight-lined on the bottom.
NORTHEAST OHIO
Mogadore Reservoir (Portage County) - Anglers are enjoy-
ing an aggressive bluegill bite; most were catching them in
deeper water in cooler temperatures but with temperatures in
the 80s forecasted for the rest of the week, it might be wise
to look shallower. Colored pin-mins tipped with a maggot or
wax worm under a bobber should keep you busy. If bluegill
move in shallower, consider a fly rod with small foam ants or
little poppers for non-stop action.
Cuyahoga River (Summit County) - This runs through
the Cascade Valley Park Chuckery Area which is part of the
Metro Parks Serving Summit County. A short walk from the
parking lot to the river puts you on instant smallmouth bass
action. You can fish either upriver or downriver from that
access point; waders are ideal for really working the river
over. Tubes and crank baits mimicking minnows and crayfish
have been producing nice catches of smallmouths, with a
bonus pike here and there.
SOUTHEAST OHIO
Lake Snowden (Athens County) - Largemouth bass should
be moving off of spawning beds, so anglers focusing their
attention offshore will begin to have success catching them
using jig-n-pig and spinner baits. Redears will also be on and
off the beds; popular with anglers at this 141-acre lake, these
sunfish are partial to deep water and are most often caught
around submerged structures. Try lightweight spinning gear
with 4- to 6-pound test line with red/wax worms.

TIFFIN Columbus
Grove added to its list of state
qualifiers Friday evening as
the finals of the Division III
regional at Tiffin were con-
tested.
After qualifying two indi-
viduals and a relay team
Wednesday , the Bulldogs
added to that list by picking
up seven more bids on a wet
Friday evening.
All but two of the quali-
fications were on the boys
side as the Lady Bulldogs
were able to advance in
three events. That gives the
Bulldogs athletes in 10 events
at the Division III state meet
next Friday and Saturday
at Jesse Owens Memorial
Stadium in Columbus.
Two of the events the
Bulldogs advanced in Friday
evening were the hurdle
events as Derek Rieman
advanced to state in both and
Collin Grothaus picked up a
second state bid in the 300
hurdles.
After a 90 minute storm
delay Friday evening, Rieman
picked up his first state bid
when he finished second in
the 110 hurdles in 14.96.
Rieman finished second to
Patrick Henrys Zach Nye as
he won the race in 14.56.
In the 300 hurdles, Rieman
and Grothaus went two-three
behind Tinoras Robbie Wuo.
Rieman finished second in
the 300 hurdles with a time of
40.21 and Grothaus was third
with a time of 40.35.
Its a perfect way to end
your high school career,
Collin Grothaus said of the
two senior teammates. Its
what you dream about, your
senior year and getting to
state. Theres nothing better.
We are hoping to go down,
perform and end the season
on a high note.
This just shows what
this senior class is all about,
Rieman said. Weve showed
up in the NWC and PCL, dis-
tricts and regionals, We have
done what is expected of us.
It was my goal this year to get
down (to state) in both. Last
year I just went in the 110s as
I was fifth in the 300 hurdles
by a tenth of a second. Its
been my goal to peak and get
to state in both.
Another senior picking up
added duties in Columbus
next week as senior dis-
tance runner JAke Graham.
After helping the Bulldogs
3200 Relay team qualifiy
Wednesday, Graham won
the 3200 meter run easily in
a time of 9:48.22. Although
Graham steadily pulled away
from the field after the first
two laps, he was hoping for
a better time as he continues
his quest to break the school
record time in the event.
I was disappointed
because Ive been running
well all year, so there is no
excuse not to PR. I wasnt
even close to my PR,
Graham said. It was a lit-
tle wet out, but that isnt an
excuse to run nine second
slower than my PR (9:39).
Grahams teammate Alex
Shafer was looking to join
him in the 3200, but came up
a little short as he finished
fifth in 10:07.97. Graham
bypassed the 1600 meter
run earlier in the evening
to stay fresh for the 3200.
Sophomore Colton Grothaus
ran the 1600 and finished
sixth in 4:39.75.
The final qualifier for the
male Bulldogs Friday night
was Trevor Schroeder in
the shot put. Schroeder fin-
ished fourth witha top throw
of 52-2 3/4. Liberty Center
junior Nick Demaline won
the event setting a record
with a throw of 59-11 1/2.
In the high jump, fresh-
man Baily Clement finished
tied for ninth as he could only
clear 5-10.
With their efforts over the
course of the two day region-
al, the Bulldogs brought
home a regional champion-
ship as they outscored rival
Liberty-Benton 75-72.
We knew it was going
to be close. Their (Liberty-
Benton) kids really per-
formed well, Grove coach
Chris Grothaus said. The
bottom line is my seniors
performed well. They got us
off to a good start in the
field events Wednesday and
we had a couple of kids score
some big points. Colton
Grothaus scored three points
in the 1600 and they were
points we were not expect-
ing. Trevor Schroeder had a
big throw in the shot put and
got us some points. It was a
team effort and that is what
is nice.
Much like her male coun-
terparts in the field events,
Lady Bulldog junior Megan
Verhoff qualified in the dis-
cus with a throw of 118-1 to
finish fourth.

Fish
(Continued from page 6)
Muskingum River
( Mu s k i n g u m/ Mo r g a n /
Washington counties) - Late
spring and early summer can
be great times to fish for crap-
pie in a stream. Dont let the
current deter you; just learn
how to use it to your advan-
tage. Crappie will find shelter
from the faster water while
keeping a position where they
can easily feed; look for any
current breaks in the water
that allow a calm eddy pocket
to form, such as points, rif-
fles, rock piles, trees, brush,
stumps or docks. Crappie will
face into the current, so cast
upstream and let your bait
try small jigs tipped with min-
nows drift by giving them
the best chance to see it and
strike. Spotted bass fishing is
also popular this time of year;
try small spinner baits, tube
baits and crayfish-imitation
baits. Spotted bass are the pre-
dominant black bass here
commonly in the 8- to 13-inch
range, with an occasional fish
up to 15 inches; however,
smallmouth and largemouth
bass can also be caught. .
SOUTHWEST OHIO
Adams Lake (Adams
County) - Anglers should have
good success fishing from the
shore line; pay careful atten-
tion to the trees and weeds
along the bank because fish
are hitting around 18 inches
deep. Bluegill and crappie
can be caught on nightcrawl-
ers and wax worms. This is
a great place for fishing with
youth.
Cowan Lake (Clinton
County) - Saugeye action is
heating up, with anglers tak-
ing better numbers of 13- to
20-inch fish; try casting a jig
tipped with a piece of night-
crawler and hop it along the
bottom in 5-12 feet of water
near the beach. If you prefer
trolling, saugeyes can be taken
on shad-patterned medium- or
deep-diving crank baits. A lot
of 7- to 8-inch crappie are
being caught on small tube
jigs or minnows fished near
submerged trees 6-15 feet
deep. Bluegill can be caught
on red/wax worms near boat
docks or the edges of lily pads.
Lake Loramie (Shelby
County) - Channel catfish
are biting on chicken livers,
shrimp, and stink baits fished
on the bottom. Bluegill have
been caught recently around
boat docks, rip rap shorelines
and along the edges of lily
pads; try small jigs tipped with
wax worms fished just 1-2 feet
under a small bobber.
OHIO RIVER
Washington County - The
Muskingum River confluence
is a great area to look for
catfish. Flatheads in the 20-
to 30-inch range have been
reeled in during previous
years; try a slip rig or 3-way
rig with live bluegill or live/
frozen shad while tight-lining.
Meldahl Dam (Clermont
County) - Channel catfish are
being taken in good numbers
all along the river.; try chicken
livers, shrimp or nightcrawlers
fished on the bottom.

Grove
Cueto, Reds shut
down Pirates 6-0
AP Sports Writer
PITTSBURGH (AP) Johnny Cueto allowed one hit
over eight dominant innings and the Cincinnati Reds beat the
Pittsburgh Pirates 6-0 on Friday night.
Jay Bruce and Brandon Phillips hit solo home runs off
for the Reds, who cooled of the Pirates behind their ace.
Cueto (3-0) struck out six and walked one to improve to 13-4
against Pittsburgh.
Wandy Rodriguez (6-3) kept the Pirates in it even though
he struggled with his command. The left-hander surrendered
five hits and walked three with five strikeouts in seven
innings.
The Reds broke things open with four runs off Pittsburgh
reliever Mike Zagurski, a rare hiccup by baseballs best
bullpen through the first third of the season as the two rivals
moved into a second-place tie behind St. Louis in the NL
Central at 34-21.
While Cuetos had his way with Pittsburgh in his 20 career
starts, the Pirates have made inroads recently. They spoiled
his chance at winning his 20th game in his final start last
season and he left a 3-1 loss to the Pirates on April 13 with
a strained back that sent him to the disabled list for a month.
He returned with five effective innings in a 4-3 victory
over the New York Mets on May 20 then backed it up an
even stronger performance six days later against the Chicago
Cubs. He exited with a three-run lead the bullpen ultimately
gave away in a 5-4 10-inning loss.
This time, Cueto hardly needed the bullpen at all. Keeping
the Pirates off-balance with a steady mix of fastballs and
sliders, Cueto kept one of baseballs hottest teams in check.

Pa and Ma should count
on themselves for care
Dear Annie: I am
73, and my wife is 68.
Weve been married
36 years, and we are
healthy, active church-
goers. My wife had
two young children
when we married, and
our son, Cal, is now
34. We have helped all
three of our kids fnan-
cially, as well as with
babysitting, yard work,
etc. And we are frugal,
partly so we can leave
as much money to the
kids as possible. Like
many their age, they
are busy and fnancial-
ly on the edge despite
decent incomes.
Eight years ago, at
retirement, we moved
across the state to be
closer to my stepchil-
dren to help with and
be nearer to the grand-
children. They are now
three hours away, and
although they dont
hesitate to call
us to babysit,
they only visit
us once a year
on the holi-
days. Yet, they
enjoy their
nearby in-laws
on a regular
basis.
Last year,
Cal moved
across the
country and married.
At that time, his half-
siblings were heard
saying they dont
need us anymore,
and in fact, my step-
children recently sug-
gested we move closer
to Cal. While we en-
joy Cal and know he
would care for us,
moving would be a
huge expense. Moving
closer to the stepchil-
dren would also incur
expense, but the main
problem with living
closer is that we are
less comfortable with
them. Their lives are
too frenetic. We also
realize that friends and
neighbors in our retire-
ment community are
more likely to care for
one another.
Should we stop be-
ing so concerned with
what the children need
and want and put our
priorities frst? Do you
think we are overly
sensitive about them
having the in-law fam-
ilies nearby and there-
fore not needing us?
Should we stop chang-
ing our busy schedules
when they call to bab-
ysit on short notice?
Pa and Ma
Dear Pa and Ma:
If you want to live near
the grandchildren, that
is a valid reason to
move. But please do
not plan your future
around which child
you believe will take
care of you. You dont
really know. Plan as if
you had only yourself
to rely on. Everything
else is gravy. But if
you want to see your
step-grandchildren, we
dont recommend you
turn down babysitting
jobs if your health al-
lows you to go. We
know the favoritism
hurts, but being jealous
of the other in-laws
serves no purpose.
Dear Annie: Last
year, my 92-year-
old mother came to
live with us. It was a
huge adjustment, and
we have made many
changes in our life-
style and living space.
Mom has been diag-
nosed with short-term
memory loss and mild
dementia. She also has
some health issues.
But she is very
sweet and can
carry on a co-
herent conver-
sation.
Re c e nt l y,
some friends
spent time with
us. The hus-
band insisted
that my mother
is more aware
than my hus-
band and I give her
credit for. But he is not
here when she forgets
to turn the water off,
puts aluminum pans
in the microwave and
cancels her insurance
coverage. He wasnt
here when she started
a fre.
I want to tell every-
one who thinks they
know more than the
caretakers: You dont
live in the home with
the elderly parent and
do not know the whole
story. The Daughter
Dear Daughter:
Some people feel an
overwhelming need to
display their knowl-
edge, even when they
are ill-informed. It
is not as fattering to
them as they may be-
lieve.
Dear Annie: As
an otolaryngologist,
I could not overlook
the letter from Native
New Yorker about a
hoarse and gravelly
voice. While Native
did not ask for ad-
vice about the voice,
I would like to tell
readers who have un-
explained hoarseness
existing for two weeks
or more to have their
vocal cords examined
by an ENT doctor. The
problem may be quite
correctable, or it may
be a sign of cancer of
the larynx. Illinois

Tomorrows Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol
SUNDAY, JUNE 2, 2013
Although you might select a
course that is tough to follow in the
months ahead, youll know better
than most that it is a worthy one.
Stick to your guns.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
-- Be more selective regarding the
people whom you choose to hang
out with. Avoid getting involved
with someone who is always
stirring up trouble and blaming
others.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
-- Usually, youre pretty good at
picking a worthwhile objective, but
today you might stand back and let
another do the selecting. You wont
like what you end up with.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) --
Instead of belittling someone who
is trying to be productive, speak
up and show him or her how to be
more effective. Remember, talk is
cheap but exemplary action has
much to offer.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
-- Pressure might prove fruitless
when trying to get another to
repay a debt. However, a softened
approach, using compassion, might
work.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
-- Extra helpings of tact might be
required to placate your mate. Your
other choice is having a direct
confrontation that will only lead to
resentment.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)
-- You are likely to have a sharp eye
for spotting the mistakes of others.
Unfortunately, if your comments
are critical instead of constructive,
theyll arouse resentment.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec.
21) -- To gratify an extravagant
whim, you are likely to make an
expensive, unwise purchase. Oh,
youll realize your mistake, but
only after you get what you want.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19) -- You take pride in being
self-reliant, yet for some reason,
you may put yourself in a position
where you are overly dependent on
others. Be careful.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)
-- Dont make the mistake of trying
to even up an old score. You might
get a lot of momentary satisfaction,
but itll expose you to a huge
counterattack.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) --
Upon occasion, you can be overly
generous to the undeserving while
totally ignoring the worthy, and this
could be one of those days. Strive to
keep your priorities in perspective.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
-- An objective that youve been
knocking yourself out to reach is
likely to be of little value once its
attained. Before you expend any
additional effort, reassess its true
value.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20) -- If you allow your emotions
to override your common sense,
youll become more confused than
you already are. Use your head.
MONDAY, JUNE 3, 2013
Dont be too quick to write off
situations that start off on a sour
note in the coming months. Life has
a funny way working, and it could
be working in your favor.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) --
By thinking things through to their
conclusions, you will gain a sense
of security. This will allow you to
make your moves with confidence.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
-- When you and your mate have a
common objective, the probability
of achieving it are excellent.
The secret is to work together in
harmony.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
-- A promising trend is taking
place, so you should be alert
for opportunities. One could be
especially significant to your
financial situation.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
-- Your popularity is ascending,
producing benefits of a tangible
and intangible nature. Try to take
advantage of everything.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
-- You have a marvelous knack of
bringing out the best in colleagues.
You will inspire the insecure and
engender success wherever you go.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)
-- There is plenty of justification
for your optimism about a big
project. You have the ability to pull
it off, and Lady Luck might give
you a boost as well.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-
Dec. 21) -- Although a financial
opportunity might not look good
at first glance, on closer study you
could find the chances for growth
to be quite substantial.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19) -- Because you recently were
considerate enough to look out for
another persons interest, he or she
will make every effort to return the
favor.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
19) -- The rewards you seek will
be more gratifying if you deal with
persons who possess a traditional
outlook rather than with those who
are too progressive or avant-garde.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)
-- You could get involved in a
development that will require some
serious effort on your part. Find a
way to turn it around and youll
gain some important supporters.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
-- Youll be thinking clearly today,
and you shouldnt have any trouble
making some big accomplishments.
This is a good time to focus on
meaningful goals.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) --
If you deal with your subordinates
in a thoughtful manner, you should
have a pretty easy row to hoe. With
solid teamwork behind you, youll
go far.

Mickey and Willie: Mantle and Mays, the Parallel Lives
of Baseballs Golden Age by Allen Barra
Culturally, Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays were light-
years apart. Yet they were nearly the same age and almost the
same size, and they came to New York at the same time. They
possessed virtually the same talents and played the same posi-
tion. They were both products of generations of baseball-play-
ing families, for whom the game was the only escape from a
lifetime of brutal manual labor. Both were nearly crushed by
the weight of the outsized expectations placed on them, first
by their families and later by America. Both lived secret lives
far different from those their fans knew. What their fans also
didnt know was that the two men shared a close personal
friendshipand that each was the only man who could truly
understand the others experience.
Eleven Rings: The Soul of Success by Phil Jackson and
Hugh Delehanty
During his storied career as head coach of the Chicago
Bulls and Los Angeles Lakers, Phil Jackson won more cham-
pionships than any coach in the history of professional sports.
Even more important, he succeeded in never wavering from
coaching his way, from a place of deep values. This is the
story of a preachers kid from North Dakota who grew up
to be one of the most innovative leaders of our time. In his
quest to reinvent himself, Jackson explored everything from
humanistic psychology and Native American philosophy to
Zen meditation. In the process, he developed a new approach
to leadership based on freedom, authenticity, and selfless
teamwork that turned the hyper-competitive world of profes-
sional sports on its head.
Cronkites War: His World War II Letters Home by
Walter Cronkite IV
A giant in American journalism in the vanguard of The
Greatest Generation reveals his World War II experiences in
this National Geographic book. Walter Cronkite, an obscure
23-year-old United Press wire service reporter, married Betsy
Maxwell on March 30, 1940, following a four-year courtship.
She proved to be the love of his life, and their marriage lasted
happily until her death in 2005. But before Walter and Betsy
Cronkite celebrated their second anniversary, he became a
credentialed war correspondent, preparing to leave her behind
to go overseas. The couple spent months apart in the summer
and fall of 1942, as Cronkite sailed on convoys to England
and North Africa across the submarine-infested waters of the
North Atlantic. After a brief December leave in New York
City spent with his young wife, Cronkite left again on assign-
ment for England. This time, the two would not be reunited
until the end of the war in Europe. Cronkite would console
himself during their absence by writing her long, detailed let-
ters sometimes five in a week describing his experiences
as a war correspondent, his observations of life in wartime
Europe, and his longing for her. Fiction

IRS video shows employees dancing
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) In the lat-
est black eye for the Internal Revenue
Service, the agency provided Congress
on Friday with another video featuring
its employees, this one showing about a
dozen of them line dancing on a stage.
The video of the IRS workers prac-
ticing their dance moves, which lasts
just under three minutes, comes weeks
after it was revealed that agency workers
produced two other videos parodying the
Star Trek and Gilligans Island TV
shows.
The latest recording cost about $1,600
and was produced to be shown at the end
of a 2010 training and leadership confer-
ence held in Anaheim, Calif., said IRS
spokeswoman Michelle Eldridge. At a
time when most government agencies are
coping with across-the-board spending
cuts by furloughing workers and find-
ing other savings, that conference has
become the target of a report a Treasury
inspector general plans to release next
week.
The report, called Collected and
Wasted: The IRS Spending Culture and
Conference Abuses, will be the subject
of a hearing Thursday by the House
Oversight and Government Reform
Committee, that panel said Friday.
The IRS is also under fire by lawmak-
ers and the Obama administration for
targeting conservative groups applying
for tax-exempt status for tough scrutiny
between 2010 and 2012. That screen-
ing, revealed May 10, has led President
Barack Obama to replace the agencys
acting chief, and two other top officials
have also stepped aside.
All three videos were provided in
response to a request by a senior member
of the House Ways and Means Committee,
Rep. Charles Boustany, R-La.
The outrage toward the IRS is only
growing stronger, said Boustany, who
chairs the Ways and Means oversight
subcommittee. Clearly this is an agency
where abuse and waste is the norm and
not the exception.
In a written statement, the IRS said the
video was unacceptable and an inappro-
priate use of government funds. It said
the agency has new policies in place to
ensure that taxpayer funds are being used
appropriately.
Eldridge said the dance video was
recorded at IRS offices in New Carrollton,
Md., outside Washington, D.C.
In the video, various workers com-
ment as colleagues practice their dancing
in the background to music that sounds
like Cupid Shuffle, a 2007 hit by the
performer Cupid. In the version obtained
by The Associated Press, IRS employees
names have been erased.
At one point, one woman says, And
I thought doing the Star Trek video was
humiliating.
That Star Trek video was produced for
the same 2010 conference. The agency
called the Star Trek video, which last-
ed six minutes and featured employees
dressed as characters from the popular
show, a mistake.
The Star Trek and Gilligans Island
videos cost about $60,000 combined to
make, the IRS said in March.
The Gilligans Island parody was used
at the beginning of a 12-hour video the
IRS used in 2011 to train its workers on
various tax issues, Eldridge said. The
entire video was used to train 1,900
workers who assist taxpayers over the
phone and in offices around the country,
she said.
In a separate statement, Danny Werfel,
the IRS new acting commissioner, called
the 2010 conference an unfortunate ves-
tige from a prior era.
He added, While there were legiti-
mate reasons for holding the meeting,
many of the expenses associated with it
were inappropriate and should not have
occurred.
Werfel said the IRS has since insti-
tuted spending restrictions that include
scaling back travel and training expenses
by more than 80 percent since 2010.
Tornado hits Oklahoma
City area in Plains outbreak
Associated Press
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP)
A violent storm formed
over the prairie west of
Oklahoma City late Friday
afternoon, dropped a tornado
in a suburb and rolled toward
the state capital as viewers
brave enough to remain above
ground watched on statewide
television.
Storm chasers with cam-
eras in their car transmitted
video showing a number of
funnels dropping from the
supercell thunderstorm as it
passed south of El Reno and
toward downtown Oklahoma
City. Police urged motorists to
leave the crosstown Interstate
40 and seek a safe place.
The scene was eerily like
that from last week, when
blackened skies generated a
top-of-the-scale EF5 storm
with 210 mph winds, kill-
ing 24 people at Moore, on
Oklahoma Citys south side.
However, Fridays storm
appeared to be not as strong
and it was moving north of
the hard-hit community.
Theyre just tooling
around right now. Theyre
starting to dissipate a little
bit, said Nick Mosley, who
works at the Loves Travel
Stop in El Reno. Motorists
packed the store as the storm
approached.
Damage was reported in
Canadian County, immedi-
ately to the west of the capital
city. There were no immediate
reports of injuries.
Huysman
Huysman coached junior
high football and was an
assistant high school base-
ball coach during his first
teaching years. He was made
faculty manager in 1976 and
in 1983, he became athletic
director, a job he kept for 16
years. He was named assis-
tant principal in 1989 and
then principal in 2000.
The final position at his
alma mater hasnt been with-
out some trials.
The discipline is what
I hated the most, he said.
Kids make mistakes but they
have to learn from them. You
just cant forget you were a
student once and remember
what it was like.
Advice he would like to
pass along to his predecessor.
He should just be him-
self and understand he was
a student once and under-
stand what they are going
through, he said. We only
have them for seven hours
and then they go out in to the
world.
A world Huysman said is
moving a little too fast for
his liking.
Technology is amazing.
There is so much. If its used
the right way it can be won-
derful but if not, you have
problems, he said. Its just
moving too fast. Im glad to
leave it to someone young-
er. Its time for a younger
administration.
Huysman will spend the
next month packing away
his memorabilia. July 1, a
Monday, will be the test.
Im used to being here.
It will be an adjustment,
he said. Ill miss it but St.
Johns will always hold a
special place for me. Its time
to take a deep breath and
see what I want to do next.
I havent really made plans
because they may not fit. You
just never know.
