its second renewal in 2004 and renewed in 2009. We are always looking at repairs and maintenance on our buildings, Wolfe said. We have older buildings and you have to keep up with them. We are looking at some of the floors at the middle school as well as a new roof and work on the brick facade. The boiler in the school is also obsolete. We dont know how long it will last and it will be costly to replace. Jefferson Middle School is the oldest building maintained by the district at 102 years. Franklin Elementary School was built in the early 60s and Jefferson High School was built in the 70s.

District voters to see two City Schools renewals

BY NANCY SPENCER Herald Editor nspencer@delphosherald.com DELPHOS District voters will see two renewal levies on the May 6 Primary Ballot. A 5.5mill Operating Levy and a 2.25-mill Permanent Improvement Levy, both with a term of five years, will seek voter approval. The Operating Levy generates nearly 10 percent of the districts General Fund at 853,000. This levy is crucial to the General Fund and to maintain what we have, Superintendent Jeff Wolfe said. Its not a new tax so it doesnt raise anyones tax rate but its imperative to the district. If the levy fails, Wolfe said additional cuts would have to be made in personnel and student offerings. We arent asking for any new money; we just want to keep what we have, give our students the best education possible and continue to be an Excellent School District on the State Grade Card, Wolfe said. We are at bare bones. The Permanent Improvement Levy generates $264,000 a year and in its life has re-roofed and maintained buildings and grounds. It has also provided buses, computers and other 5-year life equipment needed to provide students with an education. The levy was first approved at 2.5 mills in 1996, was renewed in 2000, was reduced to 2.25 mills on

Hite visits Van Wert on campaign stop

BY ED GEBERT Times Bulletin Editor news@delphosherald.com VAN WERT State Sen. Cliff Hite made an appearance to speak to Van Wert County Republicans on Friday and one of his opponents in the G.O.P. May 6 primary also attended. Van Wert County resident Milo Schaffner, himself a state senate candidate, was also given an introduction to the party faithful. The two joked about their relationship that began just a few months ago when the campaign started. In all honesty, Milo and I have become great acquaintances, Hite said. I dont know if you can say friends because weve only known each other a short time but weve been extremely respectful on the trail and I cant tell you how much I appreciate that We dont agree on everything but we do agree that Ohio is important and for sure that Van Wert County is important. Thats what its about. Schaffner noted the presence of Sheriff Tom Riggenbach and Dept. Dennis Wagonrod and joked, We dont need the Sheriffs Department here, Cliff and I get along fine! Then he added, Cliff and I treat each other with great respect and I thank him for that. After the pleasantries were concluded, Hite went on to bring out some fiscal accomplishments from Columbus.

T his and
by HELEN KAVERMAN
Verena Brinkman was the favorite teacher of many, many students, especially at Fort Jennings High School, where she taught for several years. Even the boys liked Verena as a science and math teacher. She could keep order without even trying. Verena was born 5 June 1913 to Frank and Mary (Roof) Brinkman on a farm near Ottoville. That was the era of the one-room country schools. The first 6 years Verena had to walk a mile to school, bundled up in warm clothing, including long underwear, and woolen stockings, knitted by her mother. She followed her older siblings, stepping in their tracks because the snow was deep and the prevailing winds would be cut by the older siblings bodies. When Verena reached the seventh grade, Ottoville moved into the new school building and consolidated all the one-room schools in the district. Ottoville School bought a bus and picked the children up and took them to school at that time. The rooms were equipped with doublewide desks. In grade 9, she had English, Latin, algebra, science and religion. Religion was taught three times a week by the assistant priest. They also had art and music once a week. Because of the short skirts, the girls heard many sermons from the priest.

the next four years helping with their four children and any other kind of work that was asked of her. Things worked out well in the classroom and Verena graduated Summa cum Laude in 1935. She returned to Putnam County and taught the sixth grade in the Ottoville School. She followed that assignment with four years at McCartyville Schools in Shelby County. Verena then returned to Putnam County and taught at the Fort Jennings Schools from 1942 to her retirement in 1978. Verenas quest for knowledge was never satisfied so she continued taking more college courses in the summer months. When some large companies offered to give a grant to teachers who would like to increase their knowledge in math and science, Verena accepted the opportunity. After some urging from her superiors, she applied for a grant from Case Western Reserve in Cleveland. With that she was hooked on learning so she applied for a grant from Bowling Green State University in Chemistry. This lasted for a year in which she attended class one night a week plus two Saturdays. Next she applied to Purdue University in Indiana for a three-year summer grant. At the end of this round she had her Masters Degree. See WOMEN, page 10

After all, it was the Roaring 20s. The Depression was in full swing when she graduated so in order to cut expenses, they did not hire a graduation speaker. On Sunday evening, they had a church service, dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary, followed by receiving their diplomas and good wishes for their future. Her school career was very successful but at that time very few girls went on to college, and only a few boys did. It was in the month of August, 1931, when Mr. Ferdinand Uhrich, the superintendent of Ottoville, received a call from the Dean of Mary Manse College in Toledo. This all-girls college was run by the Ursuline nuns. The message was that there was one scholarship given by the Ursulines, which had not been claimed. The nun was calling in Putnam County to find interested Catholic girls.Verena was certainly interested and in two short weeks, she got herself ready and hopped a train at the Nickel Plate Railroad in Fort Jennings at 6 a.m. Her sister had boarded the train in Venedocia and the two girls continued on to Toledo. They located the college and the family that the college had arranged for Verena to live with. The family lived within walking distance of the college. For her room and board, Verena spent

Mumps cases approach 200 in central Ohio outbreak

Information submitted COLUMBUS (AP) A mumps outbreak in central Ohio is approaching 200 confirmed cases. Health officials tracking the outbreak say there are now 199 confirmed cases, with 126 linked to Ohio State University. Local health agencies say those infected by the viral illness range in age from 9 months to 70 years. They include 92 Ohio State students and 11 staff members. The reports of the illness began Jan. 7 with the latest cases reported this week. State and local health officials are urging residents to make sure they are properly vaccinated with two doses of measlesmumps-rubella, known as MMR. Mumps often starts with fever, fatigue and body aches. Those infected are urged to stay home, cover their mouths and noses when coughing or sneezing, and frequently wash their hands.

COLUMBUS Geologists in Ohio have for the first time linked earthquakes in a geologic formation deep under the Appalachians to hydraulic fracturing, leading the state to issue new permit conditions Friday in certain areas that are among the nations strictest. A state investigation of five small tremors last month in the Youngstown area, in the Appalachian foothills, found the injection of sand and water that accompanies hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, in the Utica Shale may have increased pressure on a small, unknown fault, said State Oil & Gas Chief Rick Simmers. He called the link probable. While earlier studies had linked earthquakes in the same region to deep-injection wells used for disposal of fracking wastewater, this marks the first time tremors in the region have been tied directly to fracking, Simmers said. The five seismic events in March couldnt be easily felt by people. The oil and gas drilling boom targets widely different rock formations around the nation, so the Ohio findings may not have much relevance to other areas other than perhaps influencing public perception of frackings safety. The types of quakes connected to the industry are generally small and not easily felt, but the idea of human

activity causing the earth to shake often doesnt sit well.

FROM BABY TO GRADUATE

It seemed like just a few short years...

I want to keep the relationship on good terms, but her attitude is wearing me down. Is it wise to have an honest conversation about this? I am not very good with confrontation or diplomacy, and it would be devastating if I damaged this friendship. -- Undernourished Friend Dear Friend: Since you know her criticisms are due to insecurities, please be kind. These comments (or lack thereof) do not reflect on you or your taste, and there is no harm in continuing to ignore them. Friends dont have to like the same things. However, if you need more aesthetic support from her, try a lighthearted approach. When she insults your new dress, simply smile and say, Hortense, I know it kills you to give me a compliment, but I love you anyway. Dear Annie: I read the letter from Blue-Collar Grandparents, who are concerned about their grandchildrens trichotillomania. I am 62 and have had trich my entire life. It never goes away. We just learn how to hide it. It is not something one can control any more than we can control how tall we are. You would not berate your grandchild for his height. Help them deal with the trich with hats and concealing hairstyles. Please do not ever in any way blame your grandchildren or their parents for this malady. Accept them the way they are. -- One of Many

If you care about something you have to protect it -- If youre lucky enough to find a way of life you love, you have to find the courage to live it. -- John Irving, author

Words of wisdom from Charles Schulz

What parent hasnt felt a little twinge of jealousy when their child names a famous person who has influenced their life choices? Be it LeBron James or some other sports star or perhaps a movie or music star. How scary are the last two? Right now, its easier to find famous people in rehab than it is on Rodeo Drive or in Hollywood. Few fit the mold as role model except for drug abuse, eating disorders and somewhat questionable behavior. As parents, we hope that we have the most impact on our childrens lives. We cultivate relationships with them and try to foster the trust that leads to us knowing what is going on in their heads so we can derail the crazy train before it leaves the station. The following is the philosophy of Charles Schulz, the creator of the Peanuts comic strip. You dont have to actually answer the questions. Just read it straight through and youll get the point. 1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world. 2. Name the last five Heisman Trophy winners. 3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America Contest. 4. Name 10 people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize. 5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winners for best actor and actress. 6. Name the last decades worth of World Series winners. How did you do? The point is, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday.

On the Other hand

These are no second-rate achievers. They are the best in their fields. But the applause dies. Awards tarnish. Achievements are forgotten. Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners. Heres another quiz. See how you do on this one: 1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school. 2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time. 3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile. 4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special. 5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with. Easier? The lesson: The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards. They are the ones that care. They are the ones who have seen us at our best and worst and are still around in spite of it.

DEAR EDITOR: $1.77 BILLION - This is how many American tax dollars Iberdrola has received under Section 1603 of the Recovery Act. President Obama claimed that the Act would help get Americans back to work. However, a 2013 congressional report (link below) compared the tax dollars that companies like Iberdrola received to the jobs created. The report concluded: This investigation demonstrates that the Section 1603 grant program failed to meet this goal. Billions of dollars have filled the coffers of overseas firms while the evidence of the promised permanent jobs and economic growth here in the United States is scarce. The modest job creation figures attributed to Section 1603 have come at an enormous cost when federal deficits are being financed with trillions of dollars in borrowing. Despite its being billed as a jobs program, actual figures detailing permanent jobs created by the grant program are difficult to find, with some experts putting the price per job at $1.2 million. In some cases, it is unclear whether the program actually stimulated development in the renewable energy sector or simply subsidized projects that the private sector would have come around to on its own. And it is startling to discover that nearly one quarter of the $16 billion approved in renewable energy projects under Section 1603 as of December 2012 have gone to subsidiaries of some of the largest, and already best-situated, foreign energy companies. A Washington Free Beacon article (link below) referred to the tax dollars given to companies like Iberdrola as corporate welfare. I agree with this assertion given the fact that the wind energy industry has grown dependent upon the American taxpayer for its very existence. The history of the Production Tax Credit (PTC) has proven this. This is why we must contact our Van Wert County Commissioners at 419-238-6159 and request that they vote NO on tax abatements (in lieu of property taxes) for the proposed Dog Creek Wind Farm. Iberdrola has received enough of our tax dollars and its time they start paying their fair share. Mark A. Wilson Van Wert County taxpayer http://energycommerce.house.gov/sites/republicans.energycommerce.house.gov/files/anal ysis/20130117foreigninvestment.pdf http://freebeacon.com/politics/investing-in-foreign-countries/ DEAR EDITOR: In October, I had surgery. I was home two days and my husband went to get my medication from the pharmacy. He brought some hamburgers home. I didnt want to eat but I did eat it. Tom Fell asleep on the couch and when he woke up, he asked if I was OK. It looked like I may have had a stroke. Tom called the Delphos EMS right away. They were coming back from another run but one person showed up first. They got the blood sugar reading of 48 and then tried all the way to St. Ritas to get a line. My veins had collapsed and they were giving me oral medications. When we got to the hospital, the team was waiting and got a line started. My blood sugar then was 30. Several doctors told us that I would have died. I thank all of you on the Delphos EMS. You are so needed by the citizens of Delphos and were so comforting and caring to Tom and me. Thank you. God be with you always. Bobbie and Tom Kohorst

Point of View

both a delightful and grievous prospect. Many will mourn the exit of Comedy Centrals Colbert, but millions more will celebrate his new role. Having met the real-life Colbert, the lad from Charleston, S.C., Im confident viewers will find him every bit the Everyman as was all-time favorite Johnny Carson. The one time I appeared on The Colbert Report, Colbert met me in the Green Room beforehand and, speaking as the polite Southerner he is, said, Now, Im going to be in character on stage, so dont let me put words in your mouth. You cant say I wasnt forewarned. In real life, Colbert, the youngest of 11 children, is a regular guy with an extraordinary wit who is as heartland as they come, if you judge heartland as devoted to family and devout of spirit. He became a funny guy in part as a result of tragedy when, at age 10, his father and two of his brothers died in a plane crash. Colbert inherited his brothers Bill Cosby record collection, which he says he listened to night after night. From personal grief, he blossomed into a national treasure wickedly funny, charming and charismatic. That he has made jokes at the expense of nearly everyone is merely further testament to his qualifications. An equal opportunity offender in a politically correct world. What more can one ask of a comedian? See COLBERT, page 10

OHIO DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES Division of Wildlife Weekly Fish Ohio Fishing Report! CENTRAL OHIO Alum Creek Lake (3,269 acres; Delaware County) - Saugeye: Fish minnow-imitating crank baits along the dam and causeways at dawn and dusk; fishing the points with jigs tipped with a minnow can also be productive. After a water release, fish the spillway with jigs. Crappie: Try jigging off deep points that have old stumps and in the northern basin of the lake around fallen trees in the creek channel; these are staging in deep water close to spawning sites. Crappie must be 9 inches or longer to harvest. Delaware Lake (1,017 acres; Delaware County) - Crappie: Fish the old river channel and deep water with woody cover using a jig tipped with a minnow; use slip bobbers to place the bait over the fish. As water warms this spring, crappie will move to shallower water to spawn. There is a 9-inch minimum length limit. Channel catfish: Target the north end of the lake using cut bait or chicken livers. White Bass: In late April to mid-May, these will being moving up streams to spawn; use spinners and jigs. NORTHWEST OHIO Maumee and Sandusky Rivers - Recent rains have caused fluctuating river levels over the past week; be sure to check current conditions at wildohio.com. Walleye: Some fish are being caught when water levels allow; the most commonly-used bait is a Carolina-rigged twister tail with an 18to 24-inch leader with 1/4- to 1/2-oz. of weight depending on the water flow. The daily bag limit for walleye, saugeye and sauger is 4 fish through April 30; minimum size limit is 15 inches.

Bubba keeps it simple and builds a 3-shot lead

Associated Press AUGUSTA, Ga. Bubba Watson won the Masters two years ago with his brand of Bubba golf, producing shots of raw skill and wild imagination. His strategy now is to keep it simple and he is halfway to another green jacket. Watson took over Augusta National on Friday with 75 minutes of brilliance and power. On another demanding day of crispy greens and swirling wind, he ran off five straight birdies on the back nine and wound up with a 4-under 68 for a 3-shot lead over John Senden. Theres nothing fancy about his golf, except for his outrageous length. He has made only two bogeys in 36 holes. He has missed only eight greens. Its not science here, Watson said. Its try to hit the greens. And if youre hitting the greens, that means youre obviously hitting your tee shots well. So thats all Im trying to do is just hit the greens maybe throw in a birdie here or there. Thats what Ive done the last two days and its worked out so far. Watson made bogey on the 18th hole with a shot that bounced left of the green and into the gallery. He finished at 7-under 137, giving him the largest 36-hole lead at the Masters since Chad Campbell in 2006. Senden qualified for the Masters a month ago with his win at Innisbrook. After a rugged start, he played the final 14 holes with six birdies and no bogeys for a 68 that puts him in the last group at a major on the weekend. Adam Scott also made a late recovery with three birdies on the back nine to salvage a 72, along with his hopes to join Tiger Woods, Nick Faldo and Jack Nicklaus as the only players to win back-to-back at Augusta. Scott was four shots back at 141, along with Thomas Bjorn (68), Jonas Blixt (71) and Jordan Spieth, the 20-year-old from Texas who looked solid on the mystifying greens and shot a 70. Bubba is tearing it up, Spieth said. So weve got to go get him. The chase includes the ageless Fred Couples, who won the Masters a year before Spieth was born. Couples, cool as ever at 54, had another 71 and was five back. The 36-hole leader goes on to win Woods, who missed the Masters for the Masters just over one-third of the the first time in 20 years because of time and only two players Mike Weir back surgery, wont be the only guy in 2003 and Trevor Immelman in 2008 watching on television. Phil Mickelson have done it since 2000. And while made another triple bogey three shots Watson is a major champion, this will from the bunkers on the par-3 12th be the first time he sleeps on the lead at hole for a 73 and missed the cut for a major. the first time since 1997.

Lake Loramie (Auglaize/Shelby counties) - The annual fishing derby and campout will be held at Lake Loramie State Park May 2-4; this event is the unofficial kickoff of the camping season and there is no fee to enter. Chili soup will be served on Saturday along with hikes and other kids activities. Pre-register at the main park office or camp office for the fishing derby May 3 or the day of the event. This event runs 9 a.m. - noon and is open to the public. Fishing Derby is at Earls Island Pavilion. For information, call the park office at (937) 295-2011. OHIO RIVER Greenup Dam (Scioto County) - Hybrid striped bass: Minnows and jigs with pearl flukes are usually the most popular; the adventurous angler might try fluorescent yellow weighted jigs. Sauger: Try chartreuse or white jigs tipped with minnows from the shoreline 4-5 feet off the bottom.

Cincinnati area/Clermont County - White bass: Limited success in the tributaries on worms as well as twister tails tipped with minnows. Water levels are currently very high; anglers can check conditions online. Meldahl Pool Area - Sauger: Try early morning and later in the evening when the temperatures are a little cooler; a simple minnow should be sufficient. LAKE ERIE Regulations to Remember: The daily bag limit for walleye on Ohio waters of Lake Erie is 4 fish per angler through April 30; minimum size limit is 15 inches. The daily bag limit for yellow perch is 30 fish per angler on all Ohio waters of Lake Erie. The trout and salmon daily bag limit is 2 fis; minimum size limit is 12 inches.

Stockwell got a free pass to open the third and an out later, Thompson forced him at second; on the play, the base umpire ruled the freshman obstructed the shortstops relay to first, resulting in a twin-killing. Teman stranded a pair of Panthers on the bases in the home half. Delphos got within 9-3 in the top of the fourth. Jettinghoff opened with an infield hit to short, moved up on a Binkley groundout, took third on Gage Mercers sharp knock into left and scored on a sacrifice fly to center by Adam Rode. Teman singled to left center but the Wildcats stranded both runners. The home team made it 12-3 in the bottom of the inning on four hits the big one a 2-out 2-run double by Vance and a bases-loaded error that accounted for a 12-3 advantage. Delphos again tried to rally in the fifth. With one down, Tyler Rice lined a hit to center and Thompson sliced a hit past the third baseman into left. However, third baseman T. Gonzales made a nice snag on Jettinghoffs grounder to third, stepped on the bag and threw to first sacker J. Gonzales for the third twin-killing.

Stockwell (1 2/3 IPs, 3 hits, 1 unearned run, 1 K) came on in relief in the home fifth and gave up a single. The Wildcats again kept battling in the sixth. With one out, Mercer got aboard on a throwing error and Rode lined a knock into center. However, they became the fifth and sixth runners the visitors left on base for this game. Paulding finished it off in the bottom of the sixth on a leadoff infield hit to third by Vance, a throwing error, a 1-out groundout by Edwards and an infield single by Damon Egnor (2-for-3, 2 BBs). Jefferson visits Bath for a twin-bill starting 2 p.m. today (due to an ACT test). Ross was up in the strike zone and they were taking advantage, Geary added. Even as we fell further behind, we still remained positive; I liked the attitude. We had a lot of positive chatter and the kids remained in the game mentally; thats what you like to see in a game like this. We had nine hits we havent had nine hits in a game in a while.

Tomorrows Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol
tries to hold you back. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -You have the ability to turn your life in a promising new direction. Keep reaching for the top. Your original and unorthodox ideas will find a new, quite profitable outlet. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -Dont stray too far from home. Devote your time to domestic activities. Reorganizing and cleaning up your surroundings will improve your environment and clear your mind.
MONDAY, APRIL 14, 2014 Concentrate all your energy on your mental and physical progress. Your prosperity will be determined by how much you are willing to do. Helping others, although admirable, will reduce the time available to make your own dreams come to life. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -Unexpected costs could cause you to limit your activities. Budget carefully until your bank account improves. You can rekindle the romance with your mate or special someone if you are more attentive and thoughtful. TAURUS (April 20 --May 20) -Your friends may be too demanding today. Consider postponing a gettogether until you feel confident and able to refuse unwelcome requests. Your boss will be upset if information is leaked. Proceed with caution. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Take some time to get together with friends. Your energy level is high, and you will be able to keep up with any challenge that comes your way. Spend time with youngsters or those who are young at heart. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Someone is likely to find fault with just about everything you do today. Arguing will get you nowhere. Find a quiet corner and stay out of the way until the tension subsides. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Negotiate household issues fairly. If you want to stay on good terms and achieve equality with your family, roommates or co-workers, get busy and do whats expected of you without complaint. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Think carefully before you speak. Be sure that you can live up to the promises you have made. Your reputation could take a tumble if you fail to follow through. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Emotional frustration will tempt you to overindulge. Stay away from the fridge, your credit cards and stimulants. Instead, face problems head-on and resolve them openly. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -You may feel that youre in a bit of a slump. Take care of your health with a sensible diet and regular exercise. An old friend is waiting to hear from you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -If you are too self-absorbed, others will notice and complain. Make an effort to be more attentive and to show concern for whats going on around you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Be diplomatic and let your partner have a say before you voice your feelings. You probably have totally different points of view regarding the same situation. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -You can alleviate boredom by enrolling in a course or seminar that stimulates your interest. Take a trip to your local library and find information that will help you move forward. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -Form your own opinions instead of following the crowd. Getting involved in a joint venture with a relative could prove costly. Do your homework before signing a contract. DISTRIBUTED BY UNIVERSAL UCLICK FOR UFS

HI AND LOIS

SUNDAY, APRIL 13, 2014 A precise plan of attack will be necessary to your advancement this year. Dont get distracted by giving in to meaningless or ineffective practices. Let your experience and intelligence keep you on the straight path to your dreams. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- The rumor mill will start churning if you have been indiscreet. Spend some time with an older family member. They may prove to be a valuable and an unexpected source of advice. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -Dont let your quest for success take a toll on your health. Be observant at your workplace. You may make a mistake if you underestimate the aspirations of an associate. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -Accept invitations that you have been ignoring. Share your enthusiasm and fun-loving qualities by making room for lightheartedness and laughter. A new acquaintance could develop into an important friendship. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You wont be good company if you dont cheer up. If you are feeling sullen and moody, leave others to their own devices and catch up on some chores or read a good book. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Make sure all of your documents are up to date. A casual meeting at a sporting or musical event could introduce you to someone who will have an impact on your future. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may have too many irons in the fire. You will lose respect if you fail to meet your obligations. Dont make promises you cant keep. Opt for quality over quantity. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Dont restrict yourself to the expectations and demands of others. Make the changes that will be best for you. Strive to reach your goals doing it your way. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Dont restrict yourself to the expectations and demands of others. Make the changes that will be best for you. Strive to reach your goals doing it your way. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Your love life may be showing signs of strain. Have a meaningful discussion and clear the air. Ignoring whats going on will lead to upset and uncertainty. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Participate in causes that you care about. Your sound and logical arguments will be instrumental in making changes and improvements to organizations you get involved with. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Dont leave your future to chance.

Right to vote Dreams dashed in fatal Obama: under threat in the US college tour bus crash
JIM KUHNHENN Associated Press FENIT NIRAPPIL and MARTHA MENDOZA Associated Press ORLAND, Calif. It was a busload of opportunity: young, low-income, motivated students, destined to become the first in their families to go to college, journeying from the concrete sprawl of Los Angeles to a remote redwood campus 650 miles north. Those dreams shattered for some Thursday in an explosive freeway collision that left 10 dead students, chaperones and both drivers and dozens hospitalized. Desperate families awaited word about loved ones Friday, while investigators tried to figure out why a southbound FedEx big rig swerved across the grassy divide of Californias key artery before sideswiping a car and slamming into the tour bus, which burst into a furious blaze. The Serrato family, whose identical twin 17-year-old daughters set off on the adventure on separate buses Thursday, had a panicked, sleepless night. Marisol made it to their destination, Humboldt State University, but there was no word from Marisa, who had been aboard the now-gutted bus. Friday morning when a sheriffs deputy asked for Marisas dental records, a grim request made to several families, 23-year-old brother Miguel Serrato said his family was getting a little bit scared. His mother booked a flight north. Humboldt alumni Michael Myvett, 29, and his fiancee, Mattison Haywood, who were chaperoning, also were killed. Myvett was a therapist at an autism treatment center. He just died, his grandmother Debra Loyd said, her voice breaking with emotion in the early afternoon Friday. They have already confirmed it. Myvetts manager Kyle Farris said he was extraordinary, and that he connected with their children on a level few others could, and he contributed to their wellbeing in such a positive and profound way. He will be greatly missed, Farris said. A Facebook photo shows Haywood flashing a shining diamond engagement ring on her finger and kissing Myvett in December near the Louvre Museum in Paris. The bus was among three Humboldt had chartered as part of its two-day Preview Plus program to bring prospective students to tour the Arcata campus, according to university officials. Before launching the event Friday, university Vice President Peg Blakes voice broke as she asked a crowded theater for a moment of silence in honor of everyone affected by the accident. Most survivors were injured, some with critical burns or broken limbs. Those who made it out said they scrambled through a kicked-out window. One man, apparently an admissions counselor, was in flames and later died. Those who could sprinted, others staggered, in a desperate dash to the opposite side of Interstate 5 before the vehicle exploded. NEW YORK In an unsparing critique of Republicans, President Barack Obama on Friday accused the GOP of using voting restrictions to keep voters from the polls and of jeopardizing 50 years of expanded ballot box access for millions of black Americans and other minorities. The stark, simple truth is this: The right to vote is threatened today in a way that it has not been since the Voting Rights Act became law nearly five decades ago, Obama said in a fiery speech at civil rights activist and television talk host Al Sharptons National Action Network conference. Obama waded into the acrid debate over voting access in an election year where control of the Senate, now in the hands of Democrats, is at stake, as is Obamas already limited ability to push his agenda through Congress. Republicans say the voting

A year after, Boston and its people heal

DENISE LAVOIE and PAIGE SUTHERLAND Associated Press Not that its been easy. Three people were killed at last years Boston Marathon, and more than 260 were injured, and the legacy of trauma and lost limbs remains as does the shock of having endured a terrorist attack on Marathon Monday. Nor can Bostonians forget the fear that gripped a city locked down in the midst of a manhunt. But Boston has been able to get past all of that. Copley Square is no longer littered with impromptu tributes to the dead and injured; theyre now on display in an exhibit at the Boston Public Library, where Robert White of Lynn saw meaning in every teddy bear and pair of sneakers: Every last one of the items says Boston Strong or I will return next year. ___ Roseann Sdoia is 46 years old, a vice president of property management for a Boston development company. She is a cheerful woman; she smiles broadly when she arrives at the Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital in Charlestown for physical therapy. Its just my nature, she says. Im not a negative person. Im not a Debbie Downer. Still, she says, she cries every day. What is sinking in is that life has changed, she says, her face awash with tears. Sdoia is a runner, but she did not take part in the marathon. She was at the finish line on April 15, rooting for friends in the race, when the second bomb went off. Aside from her leg injury, she suffered hearing loss. Other than losing the bottom of my right leg, Im still me, she says. I havent changed, I am still the same person I was before. And yet, so much has changed. She had to take more leave from the job she loved. Winter, and snow, were tough to handle. Shes had to tackle daily tasks showering, vacuuming differently. Marc Fucarile, a 35-year-old roofer from Stoneham, also lost his right leg from above the knee; he has shrapnel in his heart, and still could lose his left leg. Everything has changed, he says. How I use the bathroom, how I shower, how I brush my teeth, how I get in and out of bed. His 6-year-old son, Gavin, does not always understand. Gavin is like, Hey, you want to go out and play? and Im like, Theres a foot of snow. I cant do snow. Were not going out and playing right now, sorry buddy. It breaks my heart.

Campaign

measures guard against voter fraud, but Democrats say they erode the landmark 1965 law that helped pave Obamas path in politics. Across the country, Republicans have led efforts to pass laws making it harder, not easier, for people to vote, he said, relating anecdotes of voters turned away because they didnt have the right identification or because they needed a passport or birth certificate to register. About 60 percent of Americans dont have a passport, he said. Just because you cant have the money to travel abroad doesnt mean you shouldnt be able to vote here at home. Obamas speech to a crowd of about 1,600 in a New York hotel ballroom came a day after he marked the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act at the LBJ Library in Austin, Texas, where he praised President Lyndon Johnsons understanding of presidential power and its use to create new opportunities for millions of Americans.

BOSTON Every time Roseann Sdoia comes home, she must climb 18 steps six stairs into the building, another 12 to her apartment. It is an old building in Bostons North End, with doors that are big and heavy, not an easy place for an amputee to live. When she left the hospital, a month after the Boston marathon bombing, she had a choice: She could find another place to live, one more suitable for someone who wears a prosthetic that replaces most of her right leg. Or, she could stay. Early on when all this happened, so many people were telling me to move out of the city and move out of my apartment because of the stairs and I dont have an elevator and parking is not very convenient, she recalls. But I have been able to get past all of that. In that, she mirrors Boston itself. I have to tell you, honestly, Boston is a better city now than it was before, says Thomas Menino, Bostons former mayor. People learned how to deal with each other, they had to deal with a tragedy.

Weve taken the $8 billion deficit and balanced it. And it was tough because it was tough on local governments but we did it and we lowered your taxes a little bit, and were done even more since then. Since Ive been in the General Assembly, weve lowered your state income taxes by 30 percent but your state income taxes arent what bug you the most, and you dont really feel it that much. I know that. But its a start and were trying to whittle this down even more, Hite pointed out. We just did a $2.7 billion tax reduction over the next two years. If you have a small business, you get to deduct 50 percent of your first $250,000 in income. Were making Ohio a job-friendly climate. He also highlighted the reductions in unemployment rates over the past five years, including the jobless rate in Van Wert County which fell from 15.5 percent in 2009 to 6.0 percent in February 2014. Hite also noted the increase state budget for education and legislation supporting the right to life debated and passed in Columbus. He also had words of praise for both Ohio Gov. John Kasich and Lt. Gov. Mary Taylor. I just think we need to talk about the good news things that are going on. There are a lot of things but heres the best part were not done, he added. You look at your mid-budget review, were going to reduce taxes more. Were going to figure out how to do it the right way, and were working on that. Thats our goal is to continue to do that.

Of all people on the planet, Americans have always been among the quickest to laugh, especially at ourselves. In my experience, Heartlanders have the best sense of humor of all because they dont take themselves so seriously. The degree to which one takes oneself seriously is a fairly reliable measure of both breeding and intelligence. Thus, Limbaugh insults his own audience when he suggests that they should be offended. The notion that a fake personas comedy routine is a threat to the American heartland bears a striking resemblance to the sort of literal-mindedness that leads to inquisitions and the Taliban. If you cant take a joke, you could always change the channel. But youll miss all the fun. Kathleen Parkers email address is kathleenparker@ washpost.com.

Verena taught math, general science, Chemistry and Physics at the Fort Jennings High School from the 1942-43 school year to the 1977-78 school year. I was very fortunate to have her as my math, science and Chemistry teacher. I didnt tackle Physics. Her classes were very interesting and she taught at everybodys level. She was fair to everyone and the boys in school respected and liked her. When Verena retired she was replaced by Mary Lou Altenburger, who taught until 2011. During those years from 1942 to 2011 the Fort Jennings High School had only two science and math teachers. Many of their students went on to be teachers, doctors and engineers. Verena went to her eternal reward in November 2010, leaving a wonderful legacy in the hearts and minds of all who knew her and all whom she taught. Another woman to make her mark in the history circles of Putnam County and especially Fort Jennings was Imogene Elwer. Imogene was born 28 February 1928 to Alfred and Florence (Carder) Reindel and passed away 11 November 1998. She graduated from Delphos St. Johns High School in 1947 and mar-

ried Leonard Elwer in 1950. Len died 10 November 1989. Their children were Marilyn Karst, Theresa Looser, Aloysius Ollie Elwer and Sue Lichtenberger. Imogene loved her grandchildren. Imogene was a 4-H Advisor for over 20 years and served on the judging team for 4-H demonstrations for 8 years. She assisted her husband on their farm near Rushmore and Fort Jennings. Her passion was genealogy and she was very good and precise at it. She compiled her own family history, which can be found in the Delphos Public Library and the Putnam County Library in Ottawa. Imogene was one of the authors for three Fort Jennings Histories, two for the parish and one for the village. She was an underwriter for the Putnam County Sentinel, writing a column Chronicles of the Past. Imogene and her friend (and librarian) Marguerite Calvin organized the Putnam County Genealogical Society. Her legacy lives on. Although March was Womens History Month and that month has passed, the next This and That will feature other women who made history in our area and some who are still making history.
