position.
Having someone who knows
Delphos, its people, its personality,
its needs, and its assets is invaluable
to making sure we include Delphos
in any County ED initiative, Van
Wert County Economic Development Director Sarah Smith said.
Commissioners Lichtensteiger and
Owens and myself know the west
side of the County, Commissioner
Wolfrum has Middle Point and Lincolnview covered, but the piece we
were missing and it seems has
always kind of been forgotten is
Delphos. With Sue, we are trying to
address that.
Gerker will work directly with
Smith to provide community and
Years holiday.
Delphos Police Chief Kyle Fittro said
Delphos residents are making better decisions when it comes to getting behind the
wheel after drinking.
We see a lot of people walking, they
are taking a cab or designating a driver,
he said. During the past two holiday seasons November 25 through January 5
we had zero OVIs (Operating a Motor Vehicle Impaired) and three OVIs in
2014. During that time frame, we had no
accidents or fatalities attributed to driving
impaired.
Allen County Sheriff Departments
Chief Deputy James Everett reported during the 2012 holiday season November 24 through January 5 they had 13
OVIs and two alcohol-related accidents
and in 2013, during the same time frame,
there were 23 OVIs and five alcohol-related accidents.

US stocks
plunge
Oil rout continues
NEW YORK (AP) A
rout in oil prices shook financial markets Friday, pushing
stocks to their worst weekly
loss in two and a half years.
The stock market fell
sharply as investors worried
that slumping oil demand is
signaling that growth outside of the U.S. is weaker
than earlier thought. And
while consumers and airlines
will benefit from lower fuel
prices, energy companies
will see their earnings suffer. Some may even go out of
business.
In a nation like the U.S.
(as well as) Europe and most
of Asia, the benefits of falling oil outweigh the costs,
said Jeff Kleintop, Schwabs
chief global investment strategist. The concern is that
theres something more to it,
given such a sharp decline,
that theres something deeper
here.
The Standard & Poors 500
index fell 33 points, or 1.6 percent, to 2,002.33. The index
dropped 3.5 percent over the
week, its biggest decline since
May 2012. U.S. benchmark
oil slipped $2.14 Friday, or
3.6 percent, to $57.81 a barrel.
Energy stocks in the S&P 500
index fell 2.1 percent, taking
their loss for the year to 16.5
percent.
The Dow Jones industrial average dropped 315.51
points, or 1.8 percent, to
17,280.83. The Nasdaq composite dropped 54.57 points,
or 1.2 percent, to 4,653.60.
Just seven days earlier, the
market hit record levels on the
back of a strong employment
report. After flirting with a
close above 18,000 a week
ago, the Dow has now shed
more than 700 points, partly
because of big losses for Exxon Mobil and Chevron.
Obama urges
Senate to pass
spending bill
WASHINGTON (AP)
President Barack Obama on
Friday urged the Senate to
ratify a $1.1 trillion, Housepassed spending bill that has
roiled his Democratic Party,
judging it an imperfect measure that stems from the
divided government that the
American people voted for.
One day after House
Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi publicly chastised him
for supporting the bill, the
president said there were provisions I really do not like.
At the same time, he said
there were other portions that
fund health insurance, early
childhood education, the fight
against climate change and
expand manufacturing hubs to
grow jobs.
He offered his assessment
as Senate Democratic leader
Harry Reid also announced
support for the legislation,
further underscoring the split
inside the party. The Democrats will lose control of the
Senate in January because of
heavy losses in midterm elections last month and will go
deeper into a House minority
than at any time since 1928.
With lawmakers eager to
wrap up work for the year,
there was little doubt the huge
spending measure would clear
Congress within a day or
two. To give the Senate time
to complete action, Obama
signed a 48-hour law overnight to keep the government
funded through Saturday and
prevent a shutdown that both
parties have pledged to avoid.
In case even more leeway was
needed, the House passed
a second stopgap bill that
will run out at midnight on
Wednesday.
Nor was there much if any
controversy over the spending
levels in the spending measure, which provides funding
to keep nearly the entire government operating through
the Sept. 30 end of the current
budget year.
The sole exception is the
Department of Homeland Security, which is funded only
until Feb. 27.

Questions arise
over whos in
charge of protests
By JESSE J. HOLLAND
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) Who, if anyone, is leading the
emerging movement around the deaths of Michael Brown and
Eric Garner younger activists or legacy civil rights groups?
Established civil rights organizations the National Action
Network, the NAACP, the National Urban League last week
called for people to gather in Washington Saturday for a national march with the families of the two unarmed black men who
died at the hands of white police officers. Grand juries declined
to indict the officers.
In the past, calls like that would have brought activists from
around the nation to the capital. But groups like Ferguson Action are instead sponsoring their own actions in cities around
the nation, calling for a National Day of Resistance in such
places as Sioux Falls, South Dakota; Bloomington, Indiana, and
Bend, Oregon.
There are many ways to take action in this impactful moment, said Phil Agnew, executive director of the group Dream
Defenders. This Saturday we will be where we have been, and
will continue to be building a movement in the streets of our
communities.
A major march in New York City had already been planned
when the Washington march was declared last week, said Ferguson Actions Mervyn Marcano.
There are young people on the street and not just young
people who dont belong and dont want to belong to any
particular organization, and so we want to make sure those folks
have a way to plug in as well, he said. We all have the same
vision, and want to be able to coordinate with any group that

With a week to install plays to best use
Manziels arm and legs, the Browns hope
to keep the Bengals off balance. But the
bigger issue may be getting Manziel to
understand that he doesnt have to transform every play into a TV highlight.
Browns coach Mike Pettine doesnt
want to put a collar on Manziel, but he
doesnt want him running wild.

(From page 10)
Bagley explained that the Cougar defense
emphasized limiting opportunities for the Big
Green - including keeping them out of the lane.
We knew their offense was predicated on
ball-screening, explained Bagley. We had our
certain rules. We switched a lot of ball screens,
but our bigs helped recover. We thought that
if we could have great ball pressure and keep
them out of the middle of the floor (we would
have success). For the most part we kept them
out of the middle of the floor and that was a
huge thing for us tonight.
After a Cougar rally out of the gate, the
game became highly contested. The Cougars
led 11-10 after a quarter thanks to four points
from Keber and five from Holliday.
A jump shot from senior post Kyle Bendele
and a 3-pointer from senior guard Austin Honingford then gave the Big Green a 16-13 lead.
Despite shooting only 5-of-19 from the field
in the second quarter, the Cougars regained
the lead and ran it to four on another Keber
jump shot. A Holiday free throw and jump
shot gave the Cougars a 25-20 lead, which held
throughout the first half.
Keber and Holiday each struck again to
open the third, and the Cougars began to find
success in the transition game.
We knew going in that transition defense
was going to be huge, we spent a lot of time
on that. Its just one of those things where its
tough to simulate how fast Holliday is, added
Turnwald.
A layup from junior guard Colin Smith was
the only Cougar basket in the third quarter not
MuSkETEERS
(From page 10)
The Musketeer leading
scorer drilled a triple at the
4:58 mark and the next score
didnt came until the closing
seconds of the half. With the
Archers controlling the ball
for the final shot, Von Sossan came up with a key steal
on a solid defensive effort and
raced across the mid court
line to close out the quarter by
draining a soft jumper behind
the arc as the horn sounded.
Austin Kehres and Conner Wallenhorst, the other two
seniors that had coach Utendorf feeling good, each also
reached double figures. Kehres scored 17 points on 7-for11 shooting while Wallenhorst
added 13 while grabbing six
rebounds.
Our seniors took ownership of this team tonight, Utedorf added.
The third period saw the
visitors outscore their opponent by a single point. The
Archers held a brief lead at
26-24 with 3:50 remaining
in the third when Matt Jones
found the range from behind
the 3-point arc However, Kehres and Von Sossan answered
with a 10-4 run of their own

Im really pleased with
him, Coach Best said of Zaleskis night. He rebounded.
Hes 5-foot-9. I dont know
how many rebounds he had,
but I bet it was close to double digits. Hes a gamer, hes
a competitor, and hes our
toughest kid. Hes in a new
role for us, too, and it was
good to see him do some of
those things for us tonight.

Dear
abby
with
Jeanne
Phillips
this sounds awful, but I hate
my father. If anyone disagrees
with anything he says, that
person is always wrong and he
is right. (This includes scientific facts.) He is also a bigot
who says horribly racist, sexist and homophobic things. He
has made me feel awful about
the choices I have made in
athletics and academics, and
he gets angry at the drop of
a hat for little things, like if I
havent organized the shoes in
my closet.
He yells and guilt trips my
little sister until she cries. I
dont think I can take three
more years of this. Im uncomfortable anytime Im around
him. I cant talk to him because its his way or the highway, and Mom doesnt want to
make him angry, so she says
nothing. What do I do?

DEAR DAUGHTER: Your
father appears to be a man
with a lot of problems, but you
cant fix them. Because your
mother is afraid to speak up,

I have had the opportunity to work with
local business leaders and government officials and I realize the multiple assets that exist
in this area, Gerker said. Working together
with both counties, potential and existing businesses and state agencies we can help the area
prosper.
Gerker has a laundry list of information she
will need.
I will assess the needs in the county and
the availability of solutions, she said. Well
take a good inventory of what we have to offer,
what our goals are and upcoming projects, etc.
Ill be learning at the county level and finding out what the state has to offer and where
Delphos could fit into that picture. Its exciting
for Delphos that Van Wert County is making it
SMOKER SPOT
Dear Heloise: If you want to accommodate
outside smokers, use a clay pot. Put sand or
dirt in the saucer, and then set
the pot on it upside down. The
hole in the bottom of the pot is
the perfect size to drop cigarette
through, and the pot keeps

that also will help prevent a
possible fire, as well as keep the
area clean. I use two clay pots,
one upright and the other upside down on the first. Its the perfect place to
set my coffee cup while sitting outside in the
yard. The deer, birds, squirrels, foxes and rabbits dont mind that its not fancy! Heloise
STUCK IN SNOW
Dear Heloise: Regarding the comment on

Finding kids to visit has not

From a handful of bears

So what are the consequences of not attempting to explore beyond Earths grasp?
NASAs space missions in the past have given
us such useful everyday items as smoke detectors, bar codes, cordless tools, satellite dishes,
MRI, improved fire fighting equipment, lithium batteries, advanced plastic products and
the beginnings of the miniaturization of computer processors to name a few. Proponents to
the plans say perhaps the answer to oil and gas
supply problems will be found by a scientist researching different fuel cells for a trip to Mars.
Maybe the solution to growing food on Earth
in the most inhospitable areas will be discovered in a lab trying to raise crops for extended
stays in space.
Here now is a reprint of the December 14,
1972, Van Wert Times-Bulletin article detailing the end of the Apollo 17 mission and the
completion of our initial exploration of the
moon.

e choose to go to the
moon. We choose to go
to the moon in this decade and
do the other things, not only
because they are easy, but
because they are hard, because
that goal will serve to organize
and measure the best of our
energies and skills, because
that challenge is one that we
are willing to accept, one we
are unwilling to postpone, and
one which we intend to win,
and the others, too.

We have extra traffic enforcement during the holidays, Everett said. The increase of OVI enforcements
from 2012 to 2013 may be attributed to different variables.
For example, officers may
have been busy on other calls
in 2012.
Everett said law enforcement continues to work in
partnership with Safe Communities and D.A.R.E. to
promote public education and
awareness.
Van Wert Municipal Court
Clerk Deb Lichtensteiger said
in November and December
2012 the county had 31 OVIs
and during the same time
frame in 2013, there were 14.
This year there have already been 18 OVIs, Lichtensteiger said.
