Plans for canal

towpath nixed
BY NANCY SPENCER
DHI Media Editor
nspencer@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS A plan to install a walking/biking path along the Miami-Erie Canal
from the lock on the north side of Stadium
Park to the city limits south of Clime Street
was nixed during a meeting of the Delphos
City Council Parks and Rec and Public
Properties committees Monday evening.
The committees declined to pass a
motion to have the administration draw
up an ordinance approving engineering for
the towpath at $12,000.
We have had $500,000 on the books
for more than three years now, Safety
Service Director Shane Coleman said.
They have pushed the project back and
pushed the project back and now we are
looking at 2017-18 and we need to make a
decision on how we are going to go about
this.
The $500,000 is an Ohio Department
of Transportation grant and requires a

20-percent match from the city. The project is split into three phases with the first
to install the path from the lock at Stadium
Park to Fifth Street. The entire project will
cost at least $1 million.
There are other entities out there that
could offer assistance to us for our 20
percent possibly making our out-of-pocket
expenses zero, Coleman added.
Councilman Del Kemper had numerous
concerns about the feasibility of a path in
some areas.
My main concern is the stabilization of the canal banks in some places,
Kemper said. I also wonder how much
use it would actually see if the path isnt
eventually connected to the one started in
Cincinnati. I dont see people coming here
just walk from one end of town the other.
Councilman Jim Fortener addressed the
condition of the canal itself.

Council sees pay restoration again

BY NANCY SPENCER
DHI Media Editor
nspencer@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS Delphos City Council
addressed a short agenda with four items
up for first reading Monday.
Council heard the salary restoration
ordinance with amendments for the assistant water superintendents. The measure
had been presented at the first of year
and was turned down by council on third
reading.
The amendment includes a lesser
assistant water superintendent salary if
that person holds a Class II license and
full salary once a Class III license is
obtained. The assistant superintendent
must seek the Class III license as soon as
they are eligible.
The ordinance returns department
heads and the administration back to
full pay from a 7-percent pay reduction
enacted when the city began observing a
3-hour furlough in October 2013.
At a Finance Committee meeting in
March, councilmen had said they preferred to let the measure go three readings if they saw it on the agenda again.
No action was taken on first reading
Monday.
Council also heard on first reading

an ordinance to accept the application
for the annexation of .958 acres of land
owned by Kenneth R. Brinkman, Michael
E. Coil and Barbara J. Coil on Pohlman
Road. Washington Township trustees and
Van Wert County commissioners have
already approved the annexation.
Also read for the first time was an
ordinance enacting the replacement of
codified ordinances that conflict with
recent Ohio Revised Code changes.
Changes were made to traffic codes, general offenses codes and fire prevention
codes. Council asked to see a detailed list
of the changes proposed.
An ordinance amending the rates for
emergency medical services to include
a 5.4-percent Milliman Medical Index
increase. The new charges will be:
Emergency basic life support (per person/
per conveyance) $616.23; emergency
advanced life support 1 (per person/
per conveyance) $672.25; emergency
advanced life support 2 $784.29; and
mileage (per loaded mile) $12.04.
Council also agreed to waive a $40
building permit fee and a $50 sewer
tap-in fee for the newest Habitat for
Humanity home being built at 1204 N.

No butts about it
The Kiwanis K-kids scoured downtown Delphos for cigarette butts after hearing a speaker from Keep Allen
County Beautiful Tuesday afternoon. The children learned cigarette butts may never fully degrade so those
tossed on the ground could stick around for a long time. Armed with plastic gloves, grabbers and buckets, each
K-kid hoped to collect 100 cigarette butts. (DHI Media/Nancy Spencer)

to announce a series of folks
who will be supporting me

New treatment of water plant screens seems effective

BY STEPHANIE GROVES
DHI Media Staff Writer
sgroves@delphosherald.com
SPENCERVILLE Village
Administrator Sean Chapman had
good news for village council members Monday night when he reported the new treatment for the water
treatment plant screens seems to be
effective and the screens are performing better.
During a March 2 meeting,
Chapman reported the screens that
separate the raw water from the solids were covered with a clear film
requiring daily cleaning that he suspected was due to the waste stream
created at the water treatment plant.
Typically, the screens were cleaned
once to twice a week due to grease
buildup and he felt total dissolved
solids, hardness, iron, anti-scalant,

etc., may be contributing to the
problem.
After consulting with Industrial
Fluid Management (IFM), administration began using acetic acid
(vinegar) in the concentrate stream
at the WTP in an effort to combat
the problem with the screens.
We feed one to two gallons into
the system per day and the treatment only occurs when the nano
filters run, Chapman detailed.
Based on preliminary indications,
coupled with the fact that we are
now cleaning the screens with a
pressure washer rather than a hose
and a brush, the screens appear to
be performing better.
Council members placed an ordinance authorizing designation of
depositories for active and interim
funds on its first reading.

Village Clerk Dawn Bailey said the
ordinance is for the contracts signed
with the US and Huntington banks
every five years. She invited council
members to view the contracts.
The resolution authorizing the
village to join St. Marys in filing
an application to the state to participate in the local government
innovation fund program was also
placed on its first reading.
Mayor P.J. Johnson said the resolution is for a collaborative group
effort to market the canal corridor
from Johnston Farms to Delphos.
The process will take a few
weeks and our participation will cost
$4,000, which we will appropriate in
next years budget, Johnson said.
Council members also placed
on second reading an ordinance to
amend and/or adopt water system

operating rules.
Johnson reminded residents how
important it was to not put trash
receptacles out to the curb until the
night before trash-pick up and how
equally important it is to remove
them from the curb soon after collection.
Chief Darin Cook reported that
Officer Kyle Miller completed his
firearms training and that he would
like to draw up an ordinance allotting Miller the increase in pay since
receiving his certification.
Kyle was excited and impressed
when he got back from the training, Cook said. He is up to date
with regulations and will be a good
trainer.

Third annual Apollopalooza set April 16

INFORMATION SUBMITTED
LIMA Apollo Career Center will hold its
third annual Apollopalooza from 5:30-7 p.m. April
16. Apollopalooza will showcase both the high
school and adult education programs, as well as
the newly opened academic and career tech wings.
The event is free and open to the public.
Because Apollo is not a traditional high school
or college, and because adults and high school
students are being trained during the day and
evening, Apollo is opening up the building for the
public to see and experience what Apollo students
learn everyday, said Dana Dukes-Norton, district
communications manager.
For over 35 years, Apollo has provided workforce development to thousands of adult and high
school students in a 610-square-mile district.
The training and programs offered, as well as
the equipment and technology used, has changed
dramatically since the doors opened to the first
classes.
This is an opportunity for the community,
students interested in attending, adult and high
school, and alumni, to see, explain and showcase
the value of having a training facility like Apollo
in the Allen County area, Dukes-Norton offered.
This year, the new high school and academic
wings will be open for Apollopalooza, and the
changes are amazing to see.
Apollo instructors and students will showcase

their skills to the public, but the public will also be
able to learn through various seminars, demonstrations, how-to sessions, and simulations provided
by instructors and current students. Attendees will
have the chance to win a four-night, two-person
stay in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, in
addition to four tickets to a Reds
game, courtesy of iHeart Media.
Anyone 18 and over is eligible
for the drawing (excluding Apollo
staff and immediate family). In
addition to the trip giveaway, tablets have been donated for prospective high school
and adult students to win.
According to Dukes-Norton, many alumni have
inquired about coming back and re-connecting
with Apollo, classmates and instructors. This
event allows Apollo graduates to do that, and also
gives them an opportunity to see how their programs have changed since they attended.
The concept of planning Apollopalooza
to enable the public to Choose, Connect, and
Celebrate has developed out of the many visitors
to Apollo who, after seeing the programs, the students being trained, the services offered, and the
high-caliber certified instructors teaching, state
that Apollo Career Center is the best kept secret
in Allen County, said Apollo Superintendent
Judy Wells. To our graduates and current stu-
State to seek federal approval

to pilot alternative testing
COLUMBUS (AP) Fifteen school
districts in Ohio would be allowed to develop and administer their own standardized
tests under a federal waiver state education
officials were preparing Tuesday.
The request by the Ohio Department
of Education would launch a pilot program aimed at addressing growing concern
among parents, teachers and policymakers
about state-administered assessments rolled
out last month. Some parents concerned
with the Common Core curriculum and testing fairness joined a national movement and
opted their children out of the tests.
High-performing schools tapped for the
pilot are all STEM or Innovation Lab
Network schools known for innovative education approaches. Ohio law directed the
department to extend the invitation to both
types of schools to apply for the waivers, in
the hopes they can carry some of that ingenuity into developing new exams.
As Ohio offers more options that allow
students with different interests and goals
to choose their own pathways to success,

I believe these alternative tests may give
us an accurate view of what students on
different pathways are learning, said state
Superintendent Richard Ross, announcing
the initiative Monday.
If federal approval is granted, new tests
would be in place for the 2016-2017 school
year.
The move is among several steps Ohio
has taken to address backlash not only to
the Common Core, but to a growing list of
education standards and test requirements
that are taking teacher attention and classroom time.
Gov. John Kasich signed a law last
month aimed at temporarily protecting
students against the academic impacts of
Ohios new proficiency tests, and a state
Senate panel is working on longer term
testing recommendations. Lawmakers are
also considering a January recommendation
by Ross to cut the time students spend on
standardized tests by almost 20 percent.
Beginning birding tours available

INFORMATION SUBMITTED
FINDLAY - The Ohio Ornithological Society (OOS) is

now accepting signups for beginner bird tours during the
weekend of International Migratory Bird Day, according to
the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR).
The OOS, in cooperation with the ODNR Division of
Wildlife, will be conducting beginner guided bird walks May
9 and 10 at Magee Marsh Wildlife Area. The walks May 9
will be held at 8:30 a.m., 10:30 a.m., 1:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m.
and the walks May 10 will be held at 8:30 a.m. and 10:30
a.m. Walks are limited to 15 participants each and will be
filled on first come, first-served basis. To signup, applicants
should send -n email to: marshmadness@ohiobirds.org. All
emails should contain the applicants name, phone number,
date and requested time-slot. A return email will confirm the
meeting place, date and time.
In 2011, there were an estimated 3.2 million wildlife
watchers in Ohio. Approximately 48,000 out-of-state birders
visited Ohio in 2011, with Lake Erie being the most popular
destination. These groups spent more than $843 million in
dents, business partners, employers, fire, police,

and EMT departments, the high-quality training
Apollo provides is no secret. Apollopalooza is an
opportunity to let everyone see and experience the
quality for themselves.
Apollo Career Centers high school and adult
programs, along with
career and technical education in general are a strong
force that contributes to
the well-being of the local,
regional, and state economy.
Career and technical
education affords high school students an opportunity to be work and college ready, graduating with
industry certifications and credentials, college credit, and hands-on experience in their chosen field,
stated Superintendent Wells. For adults, displaced,
unemployed or looking for a career change or skill
upgrade, Apollo Workforce Education provides an
opportunity to change a career path in a minimal
amount of time, for a minimal amount of money,
something that is critical in todays economy.

Apollopalooza, including an Alumni VIP Room,

Broader marijuana
legalization measure detailed
COLUMBUS (AP)
Supporters laid out language
Monday for broad marijuana legalization in Ohio and
began collecting signatures
for a 2016 ballot campaign.
A spokesman for the
Cleveland-based
group
Ohioans to End Prohibition
said the petition effort began
at the Opening Day baseball
game in Cincinnati.
Jason Wagner said his
groups proposed amendment would provide more
cannabis access than a competing proposal by another group, Responsible Ohio.
The broader Cannabis Control
Amendment would repeal
Responsible Ohios proposal
should the latter make the ballot and pass before next year.
Wagner said his groups
proposal would allow virtually anyone to grow and
use small amounts of recreational marijuana at home.
People with HIV, post-traumatic stress disorders, cancer and other eligible health
conditions could get medicinal-grade cannabis in higher quantities. The measure

would also legalize industrial
hemp and lay out rules for
individuals to send out homegrown marijuana to be processed into other products,
he said.
Anybody who wants to
open up a business under
our plan, can, Wagner said.
Under our plan, businesses
will succeed and fail as they
would in any free market.
He noted that certain felony convictions would prevent
people from growing marijuana legally under the plan,
and other protections would
be put in place to prevent
abuse.
Responsible Ohios proposal calls for adults 21 and
over to be able to buy marijuana and to grow up to four
plants at home. It also proposes 10 authorized growing sites around the state.
Marijuana bought at licensed
retail stores would be taxed.
Ohio in 2011 alone on supplies, lodging, gasoline, travel

expenses, and food. A typical May can see 80,000 visitors
from across the country come to Magee Marsh Wildlife
Area to witness the spectacle of the spring migration. Magee
Marsh Wildlife Area is listed as one of the top 10 bird watching spots in the country.

Maple syrup spring

gives way to Amish
wedding season
BY LOVINA EICHER
March 31the last day of March!
Hopefully April will bring us nicer, warmer
weather.
On Saturday, Mose cooked up the rest
of the sap into
maple syrup.
Our trees are
done now for
this year. I
think we have
more than a
years supply
of maple syrup
now. It sure
takes a lot of
work and time
to cook maple
syrup!
Saturday
evening
we
attended the
annual spring
program for
the
school.
Around 40 youth were in the program. It takes
a lot of work for these boys and girls. It was
held at our local community building and lasted three hours. They did a good job! Everyone
was treated to popcorn after the program.
Sunday forenoon Joe and I and daughters
Verena, Loretta, and Lovina and sons Joseph
and Kevin headed for Berne, Ind. Sisters
Verena and Susan, sister Emma, her husband
Jacob, and their sons, Benjamin and Steven,
also went with us. We attended the viewing
and visitation of a friend. Our sympathy goes
to the family.
We visited with sister Liz and family at
the visitation. We stopped in at brother Amos
and Nancys house and visited with them.
Our next stop was with sister Leah and Paul.
We had nice visits with everybody and were
served good snacks at both places.
It was good to see everyone again. We
also visited with some friends, uncles, aunts
and cousins at the visitation. We arrived back
home around 9 p.m.
Daughter Verena is mopping our floors and
then plans to bake cookies. Her cookies dont
last too long around here. This time she plans
to make peanut butter cookies. Tomorrow she
is starting a new job, so I will miss her help
on the days she will work. She isnt sure how
it will work out, but hopefully shell like it.

Next week our four school-aged children
will be home for spring break. Joe and I
and some of the children plan to attend the
wedding in Rochester, Ind., on Good Friday.
Our blessings to Joes cousin Benjamin and
Elizabeth. May
God be their
guide as they
unite in holy
matrimony.
Three more
couples in our
community
have been published for May
and June weddings. It looks
like wedding
season is in
full swing.
Easter is
on
Sunday.
Hopefully the
children can
color
some
eggs on Saturday. A blessed Easter to everyone. Let us remember what this day is about
that Jesus died for all of us so that our sins can
be forgiven.
This week Ill share my rhubarb jam recipe. I have had several requests for it, so I want
to share it before the rhubarb is ready to use.
Rhubarb Preserves
5 cups rhubarb, finely diced
4 cups white sugar
1 3-ounce box strawberry gelatin
Combine rhubarb and sugar and let stand
in the refrigerator overnight. The next morning boil for 5 minutes, stirring constantly over
medium heat. Remove from heat and stir in
gelatin until dissolved. Pour into jars and seal
while hot, or freeze.

Aces take advantage of

Lancers woes for win
By JIM METCALFE
DHI Media Sports Editor
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
RURAL MIDDLE POINT Lincolnview fell behind
from the first Hicksville at-bat Monday evening and never
could quite catch up as the Lancers fell 7-5 in non-league
baseball action at Lincolnview High School.
Five errors though they also turned three double plays
and a number of base-running mistakes cost the Lancers
(1-4) dearly.
The Aces (3-1) got to Lancer righty Austin Leeth for a
3-spot in the top of the first, keyed by an error and three hits.
One was a 1-out 2-run double by Wes
Perry, scoring Phil Karacson and Jonny
Giesiege. Another was a run-scoring single
by Jake Greer (Perry) for that 3-0 lead.
Lincolnview got a leadoff slice to center by Chayten Overholt but Aces starter
Garret Crall picked him off first. Leeth
walked and stole second but could get no
farther.
The Lancers again threatened in the home second. Dalton
Schmersal chopped a hit into left but was forced on a grounder by Cole Schmersal. An error on a pickoff play moved
him up and a wild pitch got him to third. An out later, Wyatt
Schmersal walked and made it to second on a passed ball but
the Lancers could not capitalize.
Hicksville doubled its lead in the top of the third on two big
errors (all three runs were unearned) with Perry scoring on
one and a pair of hits, including a 2-run blooper to short left
center by Crall (Greer and Dakota Harvey).
With one out in the home third, Leeth walked but Dylan
Lee bounced into a 6-4-3 twin-killer.
The home team had a golden chance in the fourth. Derek
Youtsey walked and back-to-back singles by D. Schmersal
and C. Schmersal moved him to third. However, on the latter,
while Youtsey stayed at third, D. Schmersal kept on going
around second and eventually was tagged in a rundown. With
Jalen Roberts at the plate, a ball got away from catcher Greer
but he retrieved it in time to tag Youtsey at the plate, with C.
Schmersal taking second. However, he remained there.
Lincolnview scored five in the fifth and chased Crall,
showing great patience in doing so. With one down, Dustin
Hale walked and beat the throw to second on Overholts
bouncer to second. Leeth walked to load the sacks and
Lee also worked a 4-pitch free pass to plate Hale for a 6-1
edge, with lefty Jonny Giesige taking over on the mound.
With Youtsey at the plate, back-to-back wild pitches plated
Overholt and Leeth for a 6-3 deficit. Youtsey then walked,
stole second and came in after Lee on a 2-run slap to left by
D. Schmersal; however, the latter was throw out at second on
an alert relay by Giesige. C. Schmersal was safe on a passed
ball on a strikeout and advanced on a balk. Roberts walked but
both runners remained stranded on base as Hicksville clung to
a 6-5 edge.
Hicksville chased Leeth in the sixth on a passed ball on a
strikeout (Harvey) who scored on a wald pitch, an error on
the play and another wild pitch and a walk (Crall), with
Dalton Schmersal taking over on the mound. He got out of the
inning without any further damage.
Lincolnview got a 1-out slap to left by Overholt against
third pitcher Greer in the sixth but could not bring him around.
We fell behind and and made errors. That has been the
story of our last three games, first-year Lincolnview coach
Eric Fishpaw observed. We also got a little greedy on the
basepaths, running ourselves out of potential big innings.
However, I am proud we battled back; its easy to hang your
heads when you get behind like that and we didnt. Its still
early and we have yet to get on the same page but were
close. Well get better as we get more work outside on the
diamonds.
Aces head coach Tim Shock also had some of the same
thoughts.
We didnt run the bases as well as Id like but that will
come. Like many other teams, we didnt get a lot of time outside before we started the season, he added. Were a mostly
veteran team and well address those issues. Offensively,
weve been scoring runs but our motto is finish, whether its
a senior or a freshman closer like Greer.
Both teams return to the diamond tonight, weather permitting: Lincolnview at Ayersville and Hicksville home to Bryan.

Jays winning streak snapped at 3

By LARRY HEIING
DHI Media Correspondent
news@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS After dropping the
baseball season-opener to Wapakoneta
of the Western Buckeye League last
week, St. Johns matched its win total
from last season with a 3-game winning
streak.
The Blue Jays run came to an end as
St. Johns fell to 0-2 against the WBL
with an 8-2 loss to Shawnee Monday
night at Stadium Park.
Experience was in Shawnees dugout as six seniors and three juniors
rounded out the Indians starting lineup. St. Johns, meanwhile, only had
two seniors (Austin Heiing and Jorden
Boone) on the scorecard along with
three juniors and five sophomores.
The Jays appeared young on paper
but boast many varsity letterwinners in
the under classes.
The Indians offense attacked quickly in the first inning with only one hit
off Blue Jay starter Boone as Landon
DeMoss tripled to deep center field and
scored on a groundout as Boone retired
the next pair of batters.
St. Johns came right back in the
bottom of the first as Heiing led off with
a single to short. After advancing to
second on an overthrow, Heiing swiped
third base and came home on a sacrifice
fly by Eric Vogt to tie the game at one.
Shawnee scored again in the next
inning to take the lead back and Indians
starter Trevor Anderson struck out three
Jays to maintain his squads 2-1 lead.
The Tribes offense scored for the
third straight inning as Jake Sevitz led
off with a walk and Anderson helped
his own cause with a sac fly to plate
the runner. Boone was masterful again
by escaping the inning with minimal
damage.
St. Johns wasted a golden opportunity to cut into the 3-1 deficit as Heiing
singled to center with one one but was
picked off first base by Anderson. Seth
Linder and Jaret Jackson both walked
but Anderson dodged the bullet, getting
the next batter to fly out to end the third.
Boone did his job in the top of the
fourth inning by retiring the Indians in
order, allowing the Jays a chance for
a comeback. Chad Etgen drew a 1-out
walk but was retired at second base on
a fielders choice by Jacob Youngpeter.

Heiing during the fifth inning against Shawnee Monday night. Other team
members include Josh Warnecke, Eric Vogt, Seth Linder, Jesse Ditto and Jaret Jackson. (DHI Media/Larry Heiing)
run against the tough Indians pitching by giving the steal sign to the
speedy Youngpeter as he swiped second. Youngpeter wasnt finished as he
committed thievery of third and came
home to score on the overthrow by the
Shawnee defense as the Jays trailed 3-2.
Thats as close as St. Johns would
get as Shawnee scored five runs in the
fifth inning off Blue Jay reliever Heiing
and the Indians pitchers held St. Johns
scoreless.
The key to the game was that we
didnt help our pitchers tonight with our
mistakes in the field, Coach Jackson
said. We were 3-1 coming into this
game mainly due our execution in
the field by our defense. Tonight, we
dropped fly balls and booted grounders
and allowed Shawnee extra outs, which
made our pitchers work harder. Its one
of the oldest clichs in baseball but we
need to limit our miscues and hit the
ball. I told our team that its time to get
the bats going from the top of the order
clear down to the bottom if we want to
compete.
Boone made the fourth straight quality start for the Jays by scattering four
hits over four innings of work. After
Heiing worked two innings, Jesse Ditto
pitched a scoreless inning of relief and
allowed only one hit.

Weather will be a tough opponent
for St. Johns this week as they travel to
Lima Central Catholic at 5 p.m. tonight.
In junior varsity action, Shawnee
defeated St. Johns 8-7.
Each team had nine hits.

A return for Tiger but not the Eisenhower Tree

By DOUG FERGUSON
Associated Press
AUGUSTA, Ga. Tiger
Woods felt right at home
at Augusta National, a golf
course he has been playing
since 1995. He said he is
fascinated that the course
keeps making subtle changes
and yet it looks as though it
hasnt been touched.
There was one obvious
change. He was just a year
late in noticing because he
didnt play last year.
The Eisenhower Tree is
no longer at No. 17, felled
by an ice storm last year.
Woods had back surgery a
week before the Masters
and had not been back since
he played a pair of practice
rounds last week.
I didnt realize 17 was

straight ahead, Woods said. I
always thought it was a little bit
of a dogleg left. Its eye-opening to see its just dead straight.
That was very, very shocking
to me to see it like that.
The loblolly pine was
about 210 yards off the left
of the 17th fairway, meaning players either had to hit
it over the 65-foot tree or
hit a right-to-left tee shot
to shape the ball around it.
Thats what made it feel like
a dogleg left to Woods.
I loved it the way it was,
Woods said. That tree, Ive
hit it too many times, trust
me. Ive had my issues on
that hole with that tree. But
I thought it was a fantastic
hole. Its iconic, that tree,
and I dont think you can
ever, ever replace it.

One of those bad memories was in 2011 in the third
round when he had to squat
to play a shot from under the
Eisenhower Tree. His left foot
got caught in the pine straw as
the momentum of the swing
carried him backward. Woods
suffered a slight injury to his
left Achilles tendon and left
knee and missed his next start.
He returned at The Players
Championship, withdrew after
nine holes and didnt play again
for more than two months.
BUBBAS MENU: Bubba
Watson plans a repeat if
not as the Masters champion,
then at least what he serves
at the Champions Dinner on
Tuesday night.
Watson has been keeping
it a secret ever since he won
last year for the second time

but he finally gave and it was
somewhat of a letdown. He
said he would be serving the
same meal he did as defending champion in 2013.
That would be Caesar
salad, chicken breasts, green
beans, mashed potatoes, corn
and macaroni and cheese.
Its the same meal
because its from my mom
home-cooked meal, he said.
And thats why I do it.
SPECTATOR
TO
FAVORITE: Henrik Stenson
has played in the Masters
nine times without much
success. He has three rounds
in the 80s. He has only one
round in the 60s (just barely
a 69). And he has yet to
record a finish higher than a
tie for 14th.
Carlos Carrasco, Indians finalize $22 million, 4-year deal

By TOM WITHERS
Associated Press
CLEVELAND The powerful arm
was always apparent and so was Carlos
Carrascos potential.
When they merged last season, the
Indians believed they had another quality starter for the future.
Carrasco finalized a $22 million, 4-year contract on Tuesday, a
day before he makes his season debut
against Houston and two days after the
Indians completed a $38 million, 5-year
deal with ace Corey Kluber. Carrascos
agreement includes club options for
2019 and 2020.
Its very comforting to know that
well have guys that we feel can lead

our rotation moving forward for the
foreseeable future, general manager Chris Antonetti said. The benefit
of having these contracts is were
able to plan better around them and
build a better team around them.
Carrasco will earn $2,337,500
this year, the same as the salary
in the 1-year deal he agreed to in
January. The new deal adds salaries
of $4.5 million in 2016, $6.5 million in
2017 and $8 million in 2018.
Clevelands options are worth
$9 million for 2019 and $9.5 million in 2020; if the Indians decline
either option, Carrasco would receive a
$662,500 buyout.
Carrasco had a breakout season last

year, going 8-7 with a 2.55 ERA in
40 games. The right-hander
began the season in the rotation but was banished to the
bullpen, where he thrived.
He returned to the rotation in
August and took off after stopping a 12-game losing streak as
a starter.
The 28-year-old finished
with 140 strikeouts and 29 walks in 134
innings. He went 5-3 with a 1.30 ERA
in his final 10 starts and was among the
ALs most dominant pitchers.

Lauren Hills cancer leaves her weak but still fighting

By JOE KAY
Associated Press
CINCINNATI Lauren Hill is using her limited energy
and her final weeks to try to inspire others and to raise money
for cancer research.
The 19-year-old college basketball player sleeps a lot now
and needs a wheelchair to get around Childrens Hospital in
Cincinnati, where shes getting care for her growing brain
tumor. She acknowledges that its a difficult time, but says
she tries to think about what she can do to help others in the
days she has left.
Hill got international attention last fall when she decided
to play on the freshman basketball team at Mount St. Joseph
even as her inoperable brain tumor was sapping her of

coordination and energy. She recently appeared by satellite
hookup on ABCs The View to talk about her season and
her condition.
Afterward, she told a WCPO crew that helped set up
the interview: Youre supposed to make the best of every

Cameron Crazy: Duke returns

home for latest title party
By JOEDY McCREARY
Associated Press
DURHAM, N.C. Quinn
Cook turned around and pointed to the Cameron Indoor
Stadium rafters, toward those
four national championship
banners that cast long shadows at Duke.
Then the Blue Devils captain said: I think theyve got
to make some room up there
for another one.
Duke brought its latest
national championship trophy back to
campus
Tuesday,
with perhaps 8,000
fans flocking to
Cameron for this title
celebration.
The Blue Devils
earned banner No.
5 by beating Wisconsin
68-63 on Monday night in
Indianapolis.
During Tuesdays 35-minute rally on campus, coach
Mike Krzyzewski called this
my favorite year a strong
statement for a Hall-of-Famer
who just wrapped up his 35th
season here. My guys have
been an absolute joy to coach.
Cook led the team onto
the stage and big man
Marshall Plumlee brought
out the championship trophy.
Krzyzewski said President
Barack Obama called him
to offer an invitation to the
White House.
For Cook, this was the
perfect way to go out.
Theyve made this the
greatest year we ever could
have imagined, Cook said.
These guys have made my
senior year magical.
Duke ended the season with
eight scholarship players
and half of them were fresh-
Indians
men, though some of them

(Jahlil Okafor, Tyus Jones,
Justise Winslow) could wind
up in the NBA next season.
As a result, the overarching
theme of this season was for
these Blue Devils to live in the
present. They couldnt worry
about the external expectations
that come with representing a
program that already had four
national titles and those
pesky, recent early NCAA
Tournament losses to Lehigh
and Mercer in its history.
What weve
tried to do all year is
enjoy the moment,
Krzyzewski said.
This Duke team
started the season at
No. 4 in the AP Top
25, never fell out
of the top five and
won 18 of its last 19 games.
At the time, Krzyzewski
described the lone defeat in
that stretch an ACC semifinal loss to Notre Dame as
an out-of-body experience.
The Blue Devils (35-4) never
allowed more than 63 points in
six NCAA Tournament victories, capping their run by rallying to beat the Badgers with
those four freshmen scoring 60
of the teams 68 points.
In the history of our program,
weve won a lot of things and
one of the reasons we won was
not because we were pursuing a
fifth championship, Krzyzewski
said. It was because we were
pursuing our own.
Before the players made
their entrance, fans watched a
replay of the television broadcast of the game on the arenas video scoreboard, cheering and jeering at the same
places many of them did the
night before during a boisterous watch party at Cameron.
(Continued from page 6)

But beyond his statistics and development on the mound, Carrasco grew as a
person and that maturity is what promoted
the Indians to invest in him. Carrasco came
to training camp intent on building off his
success and Antonetti said it wasnt uncommon to see the Venezuelan in the weight
room in Goodyear, Arizona, before any of

Badgers Ryan not first to let

emotions run hot after loss
By ERIC OLSON
Associated Press
Minutes after Seton Hall lost the
1989 NCAA championship game in
overtime, with a debatable blocking foul
sending Michigans Rumeal Robinson
to the line for the winning free throws,
Pirates coach P.J. Carlesimo did the
unimaginable when he met with reporters.
He complimented the official who
made the crucial call.
The graciousness Carlesimo showed
that night in Seattle runs counter to all
those click-bait videos of coaches and
players who are not at their best after
heart-wrenching losses.
The latest angry loser: Bo Ryan.
The Wisconsin coach, unlike
Carlesimo a quarter-century ago, was
in no mood to toss bouquets after his
teams 68-63 loss to Duke on Monday
night. The Badgers were called for 13
fouls in the second half after getting
whistled for two in the first, the biggest
disparity between halves in a title game
since at least 2004, according to STATS.
There was more body contact in this
game than any game we played all year
and I just felt sorry for my guys that all
of a sudden a game was like that. I think
they are struggling with that a little bit,
Ryan said in his postgame television
interview.
Maybe Ryan had a legitimate beef.
But either way, social-media judgment
was rendered swiftly. Ryan was called,
among other things, a whiner.
Ryan benefited from a major officiating blunder in Saturdays semifinal win
over Kentucky. No violation was called
even though the shot clock struck zero
while the ball was still in Nigel Hayes
hands before he made the game-tying
shot with 2:41 to play. Wisconsin never
trailed after that.
Ryan had some time to cool off
between his CBS interview and for-
his teammates.
We dont believe its an accident the
season he had last year, said Antonetti,
who also credited Indians pitching coach
Mickey Callaway for Carrascos development.
Carrasco joined the Indians in 2009,
acquired from Philadelphia in the trade that
sent Cliff Lee to the Phillies. He underwent
Tommy John surgery in 2011 and sat out the
ketball as planned, her way of

making the most of every day
she had left. At the schools
request, the NCAA moved up
the opening game because of
Hills deteriorating condition.
The game was switched to
Xavier Universitys 10,000seat arena. Hill made the first
and last baskets. She played
in four games and made five
layups before she became too
weak to get on the court.
Before the season started,
the U.S. Basketball Writers
Association voted her the Pat

Summitt Most Courageous
Award, which is normally
awarded at the Final Four (the
honor was noted again at the
womens Final Four on Sunday).
Athletes from other colleges
autographed No. 22 jerseys
her number and sent them
in support. Summitt was among
the large group of players and
coaches who attended her opening game at Xavier.
Hill also has befriended
Cincinnati Bengals defensive
mal postgame news conference Monday

night. Still, he couldnt resist commenting some more on the way the game
against Duke was called. We missed
some opportunities. They hit some
tough shots. But you know its just a
shame that it had to be played that way.
Interestingly, NCAA supervisor of officials John Adams on
Tuesday acknowledged refs ruled
incorrectly on a play not mentioned by Ryan. Late in the game,
Duke wrongly retained possession after Justise Winslow was
the last to touch a ball that went
out of bounds. CBS replays clearly showed Winslow touching the
ball. Officials reviewed the play
but they didnt have access to the same
video angle as CBS, Adams told Sirius
XM satellite radio.
Ryan also took a swipe at the culture
where some players leave for the NBA
after one year in college. He made
no mention of that after his team beat
Kentucky, the team best known for
one-and-done players, but he threw out
a zinger after the loss to Duke, which
could lose freshmen Jahlil Okafor and
Justise Winslow to the NBA.
We dont do rent-a-player, Ryan
said.
Carlesimos restraint back in 1989
belied his reputation as an intense and,
to some, abrasive coach. He led Seton
Hall to its first NCAA Tournament
appearance in 1988 and a year later
the Pirates made a surprising run to the
championship game against Michigan.
Seton Hall was on the verge of
winning the title, leading 79-78 with
3 seconds left in overtime when
Gerald Greene was called for fouling
Robinson. The worst free-throw shooter
in Michigans starting lineup made both
shots and Seton Hall lost 80-79.
Im not being smart when I
say that game was well officiated,
Carlesimo said right after the game.
2012 season. He began 2013 as the clubs

No. 5 starter but opened the year serving
a 6-game suspension dating to 2011 for
throwing at a batter.
He received another suspension, this
time seven games, for hitting New Yorks
Kevin Youkilis and was sent to Triple-A
Columbus after going 0-4 as a starter.
But after a shaky beginning in 2014,
Carrasco turned his career around.
lineman Devon Still, whose

4-year-old daughter, Leah,
is fighting cancer and got
recent scans indicating her
chemotherapy has worked.
They exchanged jerseys and
she attended a Bengals game
last November and met Leah.
During the recent WCPO
interview, Hill was asked
how shed like people to
remember her.
She was a hero and she
showed cancer whos boss,
Hill replied.

John Clougherty to me is one of, if

not the best, officials in the country. We
couldnt ask for anybody else wed rather have make the call when the game is
on the line than John Clougherty.
That blocking call on Greene has
haunted Pirates fans for decades.
Carlesimo, who reportedly still
cant bring himself to watch
video of that game, has been
stewing all this time, too. He
didnt say it the night of that
questionable foul on Greene but
he did in a 2013 interview with
ESPN.com.
It was a bad call.

Other memorable heat-ofthe-moment reactions after NCAA title
games:
2003: Roy Williams used a curse
word when a CBS reporter pressed him
about his level of interest in the North
Carolina job right after his Kansas team
lost 81-78 to Syracuse in the title game.
Initially, he said he didnt give a flip
about North Carolina. Asked the question again, Williams cussed and walked
away. A week later he was the Tar
Heels new coach.
2001: Arizona coach Lute Olson
went along with media members who
contended the officiating favored Duke
in the Wildcats 82-72 loss. Olson was
animated on the bench after refs missed
a couple obvious fouls and he said
afterward, I frankly thought that Jason
Williams fouled out twice on push-offs
but it didnt happen. The officiating was
obviously a big part of the game.
1992: Michigan Fab Five freshman Chris Webber went on a tirade
following a 71-51 loss to Duke, yelling
at reporters, Someone get them (expletive) cameras out of my face if you
dont want some (expletive) swearing
on TV. Thats all you (expletive) want
to see is some crying.
In addition to Kluber and Carrasco, the

Indians have secured long-term contracts
with All-Star outfielder Michael Brantley
(through 2017), catcher Yan Gomes
(through 2019), second baseman Jason
Kipnis (through 2019) and first baseman/DH
Carlos Santana (through 2016). Committing
to young, proven players served Cleveland
well in the 1990s, when the team made two
World Series appearances.

daughter has told me her father

and his partner sometimes engage
in very loud lovemaking when
shes in her room, and it embarrasses her. Shes shy to begin with,
so she hasnt said anything to him.
I feel angry and frustrated
because I dont know if I should
say something to him about it. I
have suggested she put on some
loud music or use headphones if
she cant bring this up with him.
I think she wants me to intercede,
but I dont feel its my business
to do so. Can these adults be that
clueless? Please help. -- CAROL
ON THE EAST COAST
DEAR CAROL: Yes, adults
can be that clueless. Her father
and his partner may not realize
how much noise they make. Headphones and turning on loud music
are good suggestions. But remember that clear communication is
important in relationships both
personal and professional.
At 18, your daughter is old
enough to start speaking up for
herself. Encourage her to talk
about this problem privately with
her father. But if she cant, then
you should handle this for her.
DEAR ABBY: My husband
had an affair 18 years ago. We
worked through it and are doing
well in our marriage.
My question concerns my
mother-in-law and sister-in-law,
both of whom continue to remain
in contact with the other woman. They still worship at the same
church, bought her baby gifts, etc.
I have mentioned how it hurts me
that they are Facebook friends
with her, but it has fallen on deaf
ears. I know they have known her
longer than me, but I am FAMILY.
Abby, I would like to know if
DEAR HEART HURTS: By

now you should have realized that
you cant control your husbands
mother or sister. That they chose
to continue to maintain their relationship with this woman in spite
of the fact that she nearly wrecked
your marriage is regrettable.
But all this happened 18 years
ago, and your marriage survived
it. If you can let this go, I think
you should. A wise person once
said that we can be as happy as
we choose to be. Lessen your
emotional dependence on your
in-laws, and I predict you will be
happier.
DEAR ABBY: I find it difficult to lie. This trait suits me well
except in one area. When friends
or family share information about
being ill, experiencing a death or
any sort of tragedy, almost everyone else responds with, Youre in
my prayers.
I am an atheist and do not
claim I will pray for those individuals because that would be lying.
So what is the proper response
when prayer is off the table? -TEXAS READER
DEAR READER: A proper
response would be, Im sorry for
what youre going through, Ill
send positive thoughts for So-andSos recovery, or, How sad. Im
sorry to hear it.

Payout of retirement
incentive raises questions
DEAR BRUCE: I retired
in June 2014 after 32 years of
teaching. The school district gave
each retiree a $10,000 retirement
incentive and paid $30 for each
unused sick day. Each retiree was
told that the money had to be deposited into a 403(b) account.
In July I received notification
that the $10,000 was deposited in
full. I had 130 unused sick days,
but only $3,400 was deposited instead of $3,900. When I called the
business office, I was told that the
unused sick days were subject to
all taxes except federal tax. If that
is the case, why did I have to put
the money into a 403(b) account?
Wont I have to pay taxes again?
-- L.H.
ding Inc
cation & Wel
Fabri
DEAR
L.H.:
Congratulations
.
on your retirement. I dont understand why the money had to
be deposited in a 403(b), but if
thats the way it is, its not something I would make a big fuss
over because apparently youre
old enough to make a withdrawal
from the 403(b).
You are complaining that the
school district deposited only
$3,400 in your account, which
I assume means it sent the other
$500 to pay a state tax of some
kind. I dont think youll have to
pay the taxes again, and I am not
even certain the district had to pay
them for you.
The reality is its there, and for
500 bucks, its not worth chasing.
You have likely received credit
for the $500, and if it is an overpayment, you will receive a refund after you file.
DEAR BRUCE: My best
friend is unable to pay his mortgage. Can he get his payment
changed to interest only from
principal and interest so that it
will be affordable for him and he
can avoid foreclosure? -- J.M.
DEAR J.M.: I am sorry your
friend is in trouble. He can go to the
lender and explain that he would
like to work out a plan where he
pays only the interest and does not
have a reduction of principal. The
lender can make that kind of deal,
but there is no way you can force
the lender to do that.
There are some plans available now to help folks such as
your friend, and I would like to
see him apply for some of these.
You should be able to go to his
community bank and explain his
circumstances. The staff there
will have the latest information on
these newer plans and may be able
to help him avoid foreclosure.
DEAR BRUCE: I am 100

percent disabled and trying to
survive on disability. I pay 50 percent of my monthly check to child
support. Ive written to the Department of Family Services requesting a modification. That was
many months ago with no action
taken yet. With no money for a
lawyer, Im feeling stuck. Where
do I turn for help? -- J.W.
DEAR J.W.: The fact that you
are paying 50 percent of your income to child support seems absurd! While you do have responsibilities to the child, you also have
a right to live a decent life.
You mentioned you have requested a modification and you
still havent heard anything. Write
or call the department again, and
every couple weeks do the same
until you get a response. I understand with no money youre feeling stuck, and I guess you are. I
dont know any other way than to
be a constant nuisance until you
get action.
DEAR BRUCE: I know annuities are not a great investment,
but my question is for a child who
needs help managing finances because of a disability. I have thought
about a Vanguard annuity that will
pay monthly for life. Is that a good
way to put money away for this
circumstance? Or is there a better
way to do it? -- Linda
DEAR LINDA: This is one
circumstance in which an annuity
might very well be the answer -one that will make payments for
life, and then whatever remains
goes away to the insurance company. This way your payments
will be much larger.
I have not mentioned in my answer the one company that youre
considering. It is a fine company,
but there are many others that
you should investigate before you
make this decision.

your friends and family. Let
superiors know your thoughts
regarding workplace procedures. By speaking out, you
will raise your profile and increase your chances of promotion.

be costly. Whether at home or
at work, you need to pay strict
attention to what you are doing. Letting your mind wander will lead to an unfortunate
mishap.
GEMINI (May 21-June

co-workers place on you.
Dont get caught in a verbal
tug-of war. If you let everyone
know that you are a capable,

will dissipate.

Rand Paul begins presidential

run with litany of woes to fix
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) Sen. Rand
Paul launched his 2016 presidential campaign Tuesday with a combative challenge both to Washington and his fellow
Republicans, cataloguing a lengthy list of
what ails America and pledging to take
our country back.
Pauls fiery message, delivered in
his home state of Kentucky before he
flew to four early-nominating states, was
designed to broaden his appeal outside
of the typical GOP coalition as well
as motivate supporters of his fathers
two unsuccessful bids for the Republican
presidential nomination.
In a 26-minute speech that eviscerated
the Washington machine, he spared
neither Republican nor Democrat as he
attempted to tap into Americans deep
frustrations with their government.
I worry that the opportunity and
hope are slipping away for our sons and
daughters, the tea party favorite said.
As I watch our once-great economy collapse under mounting spending and debt,
I think, What kind of America will our
grandchildren see?
He added: It seems to me that both
parties and the entire political system are
to blame.
By criticizing fellow Republicans,
Paul showed he was ready to run a
tough-talking campaign equally at ease

criticizing both major parties.
Big government and debt doubled
under a Republican administration,
Paul said in a swipe at former President
George W. Bush, whose brother, Jeb, is
expected to be a Paul rival for the GOP
nomination.
He immediately followed up: And
its now tripling under Barack Obamas
watch.
In what well might have been a jab
at Jeb Bush and other rivals considered
more mainstream, he added: If we nominate a candidate who is simply Democrat
Lite, whats the point?
At a splashy kickoff rally, Paul promised a government restrained by the
Constitution and beholden no more to
special interests.
I have a message, a message that is
loud and clear and does not mince words:
We have come to take our country back,
he told cheering supporters.
Paul is a fierce critic of Washington,
where he is in his first term as a senator but often not in line with his partys leadership. A banner over the stage
in Louisville proclaimed: Defeat the
Washington machine. Unleash the
American dream.
Paul was clearly most passionate about
Huffman
upending the way Washington works.

I propose we do something extraordinary, he said. Lets just spend what
comes in.
Cheers erupted when he decried government searches of phones and computer records as a threat to civil liberties.
Most Republicans defend the practice as
a necessary defense against terrorism.
I say the phone records of law-abiding citizens are none of their damn business, Paul said of government officials.
Tom Stewart, a 58-year-old resident
of London, Kentucky, joined Pauls rally
and counted himself a backer.
I like that he wants less government,
Stewart said. Less spending. Less intrusion. Maybe less intrusion into everybodys rights around the world.
Pauls challenge now is to convince
other Republican voters that his is a
vision worthy of the GOP presidential
nomination, a prize twice denied his
father, former Rep. Ron Paul of Texas.
The elder Paul joined his son at Tuesdays
announcement and got a raucous cheer
when he was introduced.
Paul begins the 2016 race as the
second fully declared candidate, behind
Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas. They could face
as many as 20 rivals before the lead-off
Iowa caucuses in February.

There were low water
pressure
complaints
received from the South
Elizabeth Street area and
we checked the meters and
determined that the pressure
was lower than normal,
Chapman said. There were
two leaks in the area: one
was a clamp that was holding one side of a piece of
replacement plastic pipe in
place and the other was a
large hole on the bottom of
the pipe.
He said neither leak surfaced because there was a
6-inch storm sewer next to
the water line that carried
the water away.
As explained in a prior
meeting, we will soon be
sending out income survey
forms to all village residents, Chapman said. Full
participation and cooperation
is critical in determining the

villages income limits and
household sizes.
In order to be eligible
for various state and federal funding, the village must
prove that it is LMI (low and
moderate income).
The new income levels
should be released soon and
once they are, I will work
with a WSOS/Ohio RCAP
representative on getting the
forms out, he said. Village
administration acknowledges
the sensitivity of this topic;
however, we feel it is necessary in order to position
the village for infrastructure
improvement funding.
Anyone with questions
concerning the upcoming
income survey is asked to call
Chapman at 419-647-6263 or
Julie Ward at 740-743-1816.
Crews installed another
26 radio read water meter
reading units which allow
us to obtain an actual read

without having to physically
find the water meter pit,
Chapman detailed. The unit
sends a radio signal to our
meter reading equipment
and downloads to the billing
computer. Our goal is to have
the entire system be on radio
read units which will prevent
us from ever having to estimate water bills again.
He said the downside is
that these units are close to
$150 each.
To date, we have 135 in
the system, totaling around
$20,000, and over the last few
years, weve only been able
to purchase approximately
15-20 units/year, Chapman
detailed At this rate, it will
take better than 30 years to
complete the total radio-read
installation. In order to complete the system with radioread units, it will cost approximately $130,000.
In addition to the installation of additional units, the

village needs to be mindful of
the age of the existing water
meters.
The average useful life of
a water meter is 20 years and
many of our existing meters
are approaching that age and
may show signs of needing to
be replaced in the very near
future, he said.
All the village streets have
been inspected and all streets
are eligible for improvements through the County
Permissive funds.
The preliminary program includes a lot of crack
patching and various asphalt
patch work to repair areas
that were disturbed while
repairing water lines at various locations across town,
he added. Weve not done
Huffman said he holds the principles of limited

government, conservative social values, and a desire
to better Ohio by keeping more hard-earned dollars in
the pockets of Ohioans where they belong. Huffman
is a three-time United Conservatives of Ohios Watch
Dog of the Treasury award winner and was named the
Guardian of Small Business by the National Federation
of Independent Businesses, a distinction which is awarded to two legislators annually.
Ive made it my point to champion the lowering
of the personal income tax, protecting the unborn and
defending our Constitutional rights. This will be my
simple philosophy if Im elected to this senate seat,
Huffman said.
Huffman said he believes in protecting an individuals
Constitutional rights, limiting government spending and
intrusion and protecting Ohios families and small businesses. Having a 100-percent pro-business voting record
from the Ohio Chamber of Commerce from 2011-14,
Huffman understands that Ohio was built on small businesses and they are what makes Ohio great today.
My philosophy about government is simple,
Huffman began. Government needs to intervene as little
as possible and stay out of the way of businesses who
create jobs. Government is a poor decision-maker and
often has contradictory goals. Families and taxpayers are
the bedrock of our communities. That should always be
our focus and our priority in government.
Huffman served for 15 years on Lima City Council
and recently concluded his fourth term in December as
the Speaker Pro Tempore, the second-highest ranking
member in the House, a position to which he was unanimously elected by his peers in the legislature.
much crack patch work over

the last several years; however, with the rising cost of
asphalt, crack patching will
be a less expensive alternative to lengthen the life of
many of our streets.
Currently, the amount of
County Permissive funds
available for the village to
use is around $23,000 and
there is an additional 25,000
of local dollars available to
offset any cost overruns.
Chapman also addressed
these items:
The letter requesting
that SR 66 be closed for the
annual Summerfest has been
submitted to ODOT for their
review and authorization;
The contractor has been
given permission to proceed
with the downtown striping
work which will be complet-
ed as time and weather permit;

A portion of the fence
along the right-field line for
diamond #4 at Old Acadia
Park is in the process of
being replaced. In addition,
all of the fence, except the
backstop, is being replaced
on diamond #6. Both of these
were included in the 2015
budget; and
Due to failure of the
existing hydraulic pump for
the press at the wastewater
treatment plant, the valve
cluster was rebuilt for a cost
of close to $950.
The next village council
meeting will be held at 7 p.m.
on April 20 at the municipal
meeting.
Path
If we would put this in, wed have to
make sure the canal was good in appearance
at all times, Fortener said. No offense to
Lou Hohman, who has done a great job, but
he had 200 people at one time helping and
now its down to a dozen or so. Im not sure
that will cut it.
Kemper agreed.
We are at the end of the line on the
canal, Kemper said. In the summer the
water level is way down, weeds are growing
up in the middle and it does have an odor.
What do we do about that?
Hohman, who is president of the Delphos
Canal Commission and at the meeting to lend
his expertise on the waterway, said the level
of the canal would not likely change any time
soon.
There are bad banks south of us at 6 Mile
Creek that will not allow them to push any
more water through at this time, Hohman

said.
Im having a hard time seeing that issue
fixed in the near future and there are not
concrete plans on anything to meet our path,
Kemper added.
Hohman also noted that the canal is state
property, located entirely in Allen County
through Delphos, and the state was putting
in the trail in Spencerville. It would only
be linked to the Delphos trail if the Johnny
Appleseed Metropolitan Park District would
take up installing the trail in between the two.
Council President Dan Hirn said he could
see the value in the path in Delphos.
We limited that way in recreation, Hirn
began. The community could and would
use the trail and $12,000 seems like a small
investment for a great recreational area.
Councilman Andy Knueve brought the
motion to the floor to proceed with an ordinance for the engineering on the tow path but
failed to receive a second.
