Tis the season for more home fires

West Central Ohio Chapter of the American Red Cross Executive Director
Derek Stemen spoke of his organizations efforts to distribute smoke detectors through the region during State Fire Marshal Larry Flowers, back

LIMA Tis the season

for increased risk of house
fires.
State
Fire
Marshal
Larry Flowers visited the
Bath Township Fire House
Thursday to stress the statewide Safe and Sound campaign geared to reduce fire-related injuries and deaths.
We are really focusing on
this issue as fire deaths in
Ohio have reached 115 so far
for 2015, Flowers said. We
really push in October for Fire
Prevention Month but we need
to talk about this all year.
Firefighters throughout the
state are starting to knock on
doors, pass out smoke detectors and even help install
them.
The West Central Ohio
Chapter of the American Red
Cross is also distributing
smoke detectors. Executive
Director Derek Stemen said

the Red Cross gave away
7-8,000 this year and hopes to
double the number next year.
We know that this works,
Flowers said. If their local
fire department comes out
and gives a resident a smoke
detector and installs it, we
see a decrease in deaths and
injuries. It works. If we just
hand them a smoke detector,
nine out of 10 times, it sits
somewhere instead of being
installed.
With colder weather coming, Flowers said alternate
heating sources are always a
fire concern.
We like to say give space
heaters space, Flowers said.
They need to be kept away
from combustible materials
like beds, curtains and soft
furniture.
A CO2 monitor in the
home also lessens the risk of
carbon monoxide poisoning
from heaters.
Other hazards common to
$1.00
the season are cooking and

holiday decorations.
More than 45 percent of
fires are kitchen fires. The
number one cause of those
fire is leaving something unattended while its cooking,
Flowers said. Those in the
kitchen need to ask for help.
If they have family members
around they can be asked to
watch something if the main
chef has to leave the kitchen
for something. Otherwise the
item cooking should be turned
down or off if no one is going
to be in the kitchen.
Stoves and ovens should
never be used as a heat source.
Live Christmas trees are
also a concern with their dry
needles.
Christmas trees are
thirsty, Flowers began. We
water our pets everyday, the
tree should be watered every
day. A moist tree is much
safer.

Gun dealers see

up-tick in sales
Seniors celebrate the season

Delphos Senior Citizens Center was filled with Christmas music and celebrating Friday afternoon. After a catered
meal, seniors enjoyed the Jefferson High School Show Choir, above, music by Bob Ulm and a visit from Santa. See

ADA Gun dealers across the country

are reporting a significant up-tick in sales, so
much so that a new record for firearm sales
was set on Black Friday. According to statistics
released by the F.B.I., 185,345 people had their
backgrounds checked on Black Friday alone, a
five-percent increase over this same time last
year.
This surge in buying has been building for
weeks and is the consequence of a host of factors. At the top of the list, at least nationally, is
gun violence.
Dependent on which organization or agency
is defining mass shooting, the United States
has experienced anywhere from four to 353
such horrific events in 2015 alone. The four,
as defined by Mother Jones, are infamous:
Charleston, South Carolina; Chattanooga,
Tennessee; Umpqua Community College in
Roseburg, Oregon; and, just last week, San
Bernardino, California.

Cool Machines making it snow in Hollywood

BY ERIN COX
DHI Media Correspondent
VAN WERT Let it snow, let it snow,
let it snow.
Snow might not be what most people
are wishing for in the weather forecast,
but for filmmakers, snow that never melts
is sometimes what they need to produce a
movie.
The snow may be fake, but Cool
Machines, a Van Wert-based company,
plays an essential role in making those
winter wonderland scenes a possibility in
movies, commercials, and other events.
Dave Krendl, president of Cool
Machines, was first contacted more than 15
years ago, before Cool Machines was even
a business, by a United Kingdom company
to make a machine to blow fiber that looks
like snow.
Snow Business, the UK-based company, is a world leader in artificial snow and
winter effects. The company works with
filmmakers, advertisers, and other event
coordinators to create snow scenes.

Its a close community of people who
use equipment like this to film commercials
and movies with snow, Krendl said. Its all
done with a process like this. We modify our
machines to adapt to their process.
Krendl, a Delphos resident, was working for a family business in a similar industry in Delphos for 17 years before going
out on his own. Krendl and Andy Schulte,
plant manager, founded Cool Machines in
2004 in New Haven, Indiana, and relocated
to Van Wert in 2006.
It was during his 17 years at his family business that he was first contacted
by Snow Business to make machines to
create a snow scene in the movie Lucky
Numbers.
Krendl went to California to watch how
the machines were used in the making of the
John Travolta movie. The scene was staged
to look like a turnpike in Pennsylvania and it
required 40 acres of snow. Fifteen machines
were used on the film site.

Local/State
VW Co. deer harvest
down for 2015, Ohio up
Allen County numbers
up from 348 to 387
DHI Media Staff Report
VAN WERT The number of
white-tailed deer taken locally during
deer-gun hunting this season dropped
from last years totals. In 2014, a total
of 283 deer were taken by area hunters,
but in 2015, that number shrunk to 237.
Across the state, the trend was reversed
with a significant increase in the harvest
numbers 73,300 in 2015 compared to
65,484 in 2014, for the period of Nov.
30-Dec. 6.
To date, for the total 2015 deer
hunting seasons, hunters have checked
152,554 deer. Last year at this same
time, hunters had harvested a total of
148,821 deer. Given that the year-todate harvest is only slightly higher, the
significant increase in this years deergun season can most likely be attributed
to better weather conditions compared
to the 2014 deer-gun season. A smaller
contributing element could be the fact
that there was not an antlerless muzzle
loader season in October this year. This
years harvest was closer to the 2013
deer-gun season harvest, which also
points to last years poor weather as the
primary factor for the increase.
There are two days remaining in deer-
gun season for the year. Those additional days are Monday, December 28,
and Tuesday, December 29. The muzzle
loader season is Jan. 9-12, 2016, and
archery season remains open through
Sunday, Feb. 7, 2016.
The ODNR Division of Wildlife
remains committed to properly managing Ohios deer populations through a
combination of regulatory and programmatic changes. The goal of Ohios Deer
Management Program is to provide a
deer population that maximizes recreational opportunities, while minimizing
conflicts with landowners and motorists.
Until recently, deer populations
in nearly all of Ohios counties were
well above goal. In the last few years,
through increased antlerless harvests,
most counties are now at or near goal.
Therefore, to help stabilize deer populations, bag limits were reduced, and antlerless permit use has been eliminated in
most counties for the 2015-2016 season.
The ODNR Division of Wildlife is
in the process of revising Ohios population goals and is asking hunters that
receive the survey to help by completing
and returning their survey as soon as
possible. Hunters for this years survey
were randomly selected from the list
of hunters who purchased a license and
deer permit by Nov. 16. Landowner
surveys have already been completed,
and hunter surveys were mailed last
week. Public input is an important part
of Ohios deer management program,
and survey participants are asked to

complete and return their surveys to
ensure that hunters have a clear voice in
helping to decide the direction of deer
management in Ohio.
Across the region, mixed statistics
were released Monday by the Ohio
Department of Natural Resources. The
harvest was lower in Defiance County
at 865 (compared to 871 last year) and
Putnam County with 304 (compared to
315 in 2014). Numbers were slightly
higher in Allen County 387 compared to
last years 348, and Mercer County 325
(compared to 206 in 2014).
In Ohio, the county with the largest number of deer checked in was
Tuscarawas County with 1,999 animals
checked in, compared to 2,074 in last
years deer-gun season.
According to the ODNR, hunting is
the best and most effective management
tool for maintaining Ohios healthy deer
population. Ohio ranks fifth nationally
in resident hunters and 11th in the number of jobs associated with hunting-related industries. Hunting has a more than
$853 million economic impact in Ohio
through the sale of equipment, fuel,
food, lodging and more, according to the
National Shooting Sports Foundation
Hunting in America: An Economic
Force for Conservation.

hunting in the Ohio 2015-2016 Hunting

from
VAN WERT The

chairman of the Ohio
Republican Party said he is
still behind Ohio Gov. John
Kasichs run for the White
House in 2016.
I am unabashedly for
our governor, for our favorite son, because I know him
and I love him, and I think
he would help us win the
state and ultimately win the
White House, Chairman
Matt Borges declared to the
party faithful gathered at
Willow Bend Country Club
on Friday for the monthly
G.O.P. Luncheon. Were
going to win the White
House in 2016.
While Borges will clearly declare his favorite, he is
much more guarded when it
comes to many other possi-
Borges
bilities.
While I could stand
here and tell you a handful of people it ultimately wont be, I cant stand
here and tell you who it
will be, he said. I cant
remember being this deep
into the cycle and really
not knowing who our nominee is going to be. There
are many, many people in
the field I feel comfortable

with, and possibly even
Donald Trump, if he would
get off some of his divisive
rhetoric a little bit.
Borges went on to specify that his opposition to
Trump is based on the
message coming from the
candidate, which he considers as not helpful in the
campaign. He noted that
Trumps comments have
focused attention on him
rather than where Borges
would prefer on the
record of Democrat Hillary
Clinton. Still Borges promised his support regardless
of who the winner of the
nomination ends up being.
Im going to support
whoever our nominee is,
whoever it is, that includes
Donald Trump, he said.

Gifts of thought from the over 60 crowd...
Eileen Bonifas
Rosie Bonifas
A Visit with Sisters Eileen Bonifas

84wise and Rosie Bonifas 91wise ...
There was a nice, neighborly feel to my
visit with Rosie and Eileen. They have both
now long commanded the leisure of their
senior years.
Rosie worked for Lima Telephone &
Telegraph Co. (1942) as a switchboard operator for 17 years and then for 28 years
as Communications Director at Fruehauf
Corporation. Eileen spoke of her early working
days as a steam presser at Meyers Cleaners,
her happiest work years as bookkeeper for
Reinemeyer Supply and Tri-County Plumbing
& Heating and as clerk at Tri-County-Do-ItCenter. (64 years all told!)
Some of Eileen & Rosies Favorites
Colors: Blue & Gold for their favorite
teams St. Johns and Notre Dame!
Food: Italian food because its good, easy
to make, and you usually has leftovers for the
next day. My kind of keep it simple!
Music: John Phillip Sousas Marches, especially these patriotic beauties: The National
Anthem, Stars & Stripes Forever, God Bless
America, Its a Grand Old Flag. Rosie said,
thats the music we like. Reminded me of
my dads simple wisdom on musical preference, Ed, youll know the music you like
when you hear it, my kind of clarity.
Car: Ford Grand Marquees for both Rosie
and Eileen because its a heavier car, easy
to handle, and has a smooth ride, and Eileen
added best of all it was made in the USA!
Sports Moment Ever Not a hard recollection for Eileen and Rosie, they proudly said it was the 1949 State Basketball
Championship for St. Johns. Eileen recalled
that Principal E.C.Herr dedicated the school
year to Our Lady of Fatima, and the motto
was pray as hard as you can, the team will
play as hard as they can, and leave the results
up to God. The class of 1949 purchased a
statue of the Lady of Fatima, which stands in
the halls of St. Johns to this day.

One of my favorite memories from
my school days Our First Communion
Day noting that their mother made their
Communion dresses and veils, they recalled
the church procession that day accompanied
by green ferns and while lilies.
In all my years, my favorite decade
For Rosie it was the 1940s and Eileen the
1950s both recalling the excitement of first
jobs out of high school and figuring out the
business of life in those early years.
My favorite president Rosie remembered that FDR (Franklin Delano Roosevelt)
was president the whole time she was in
school saying I didnt even know they elected the president because FDR was president
the whole time. Both Eileen and Rosie shared
their preference for JFK (John Fitzgerald
Kennedy)
Saying he was a young man with great
ideas like sending a man to the moon and
back to earth, but he was assassinated and
didnt get to see it Rosie and Eileen recalled
all the news coverage and uncertainty of that
time.
One thought I offer to young people
Eileen and Rosie made it plain, simple and
easy to understand, Be brave and say no to
drugs!
If I had a magic wand and could fix
one thing in this world, Id.Peace in all
nations of the world and Eileen added but
I dont think you can do that with a magic
wand
My best piece of advice about life
Again Rosie and Eileen made it easy to
understand, Do unto others as you would
have them do unto you They both agree
you dont need much more guidance than the
golden rule.

Bacon on the turkey, games, and errands

compose Thanksgiving weekend
BY LOVINA EICHER
We had a nice, enjoyable

Thanksgiving Day. We have
so many blessings and so
much to be thankful for!
My sister Emma, Jacob
and family, sisters Verena
and Susan, and daughter
Elizabeth and Timothy spent
the day with us. We set the
table for all of us. I stuffed
two turkeys with dressing.
I like to lay strips of bacon
on top. Joes dad always did
this. It keeps the turkey moist
while baking it, and the flavor
of bacon adds an extra taste to
the turkey.
Also on the menu were
mashed potatoes, gravy,
corn, macaroni salad, corn
chip salad, a variety of sliced
cheeses (such as pepper jack,
Colby, and Swiss), veggies
and dip, homemade bread,
butter and strawberry jam,
dill pickles, hot peppers, fruit
dip (with orange, apple and
pineapple slices), pumpkin
roll, pumpkin pies, a variety
of cookies, and ice cream. We
had way too much food, but
when everyone brings something, it all adds up! I dont
think many were hungry for
dessert. We snacked later in
the day.
Games were played,
with Connect Four and
Aggravation being the main
ones. We have a game board
that nephew Jacob made, and
we like playing with six people in three teams. It can get
really excitingand aggra-
vating as well! Joe and I,

Mose and Susan, and Timothy
and Elizabeth played this in
the evening too. Daughters
Verena and Loretta left with
friends in the afternoon and
had supper with them.
Sons Joseph, 13, and
Kevin, 10, went home with
Timothy and Elizabeth.
Joseph wants to go deer
hunting with Timothy. Kevin
enjoys going to spend time
with their dogs, Crystal and
Izzy.
On Friday Joe and I went
to Jacob and Emmas house.
Joe helped with mudding
drywall in the new upstairs
bedrooms. I took our leftover
food from Thanksgiving dinner and helped Emma prepare
the meal for the men working
there. Timothy and Elizabeth
dropped the boys off there
on their way to town to go
shopping. The girls stayed
home and washed clothes and
mopped the floors and cleaned
up from Thanksgiving Day.
Son Benjamin went to work
helping Mose at his sawmill.
I want to help Emma with
painting the walls when she
is ready to start on that.
Kevin was fitted for
new leg braces to help him
with his muscular dystrophy. We have seen a lot of
improvement with the braces, although Kevin does not
look forward to wearing them
again. The doctors suggest
he keep wearing them, so we
will try them again.

PUTNAM COUNTY
This is a summary of how
farmers crops are utilized
in the market and what market forces may be occurring.
Grain farmers are receiving
less for their corn this year,
but the livestock industry
has been taking advantage
of the lower prices. Local
elevators like Ottawa Feed
& Grain and Glandorf Feed
utilize corn primarily for
hog feed but also for dairy,
beef, poultry, and other
livestock. Northwest Ohio
Grain, Pandora, and Gilboa
utilize grain for export to
Mercer County or further
south for livestock grain or
for ethanol. Cooper Farms
utilize both corn for grain as
livestock feed and soybean
meal as a protein source for
turkey production.
So lets look at swine
or hog numbers first. Each
2,400 head sow unit built
in the state of Ohio would
consume roughly 574,000
bushels of corn and 113,000
bushels of beans a year for
a Farrow-to-Finish operation. In Ohio, we have
about 185,000 sows which
if all the pigs are fed in Ohio
equals 44,198,000 bushels
of corn or at an average for
Ohio of 151 bushels of corn
per acre, equates to over
292,700 corn acres. Putnam
County and Northwest Ohio
did not average 151 bushel
corn due to the excessively wet weather this year.
For soybeans, that equals
8.7 million bushels of soybeans and our area averaged
45 bushels per acre which
equates to over 193,000
soybean acres.
For beef, it may be several years before cattle numbers recover from the herd
reductions that occurred
during the 2012 drought and
years of high grain prices.
So beef prices may remain
high at the grocery store,
however, beef producers
have been adding weight
and pounds to their finished
cattle, so prices are starting to decline. Beef or finished cattle and dairy consume both corn, corn silage
(fermented corn plant plus
grain), and corn bi-products
left over from ethanol production. For cattle and other
livestock, the local alfalfa

mill produces alfalfa pellets
which are utilized as a high
protein supplement from
our local hay fields.
Our farmers produce
more corn than is needed by
the local livestock industry
and the excess is exported
to be loaded on trains for the
livestock industry in other
parts of the U.S., particularly the Southeast. Some
crops are exported overseas through Lake Erie and
the St. Lawrence Seaway
including Andersons at
Toledo,
Ethanol is still another
market that utilizes corn
grown in our area. Local
farmers receive better prices
for their corn because three
ethanol plants are located
nearby. The Poet facility in
Leipsic and Fostoria each
utilize about .5 million
bushels per week or roughly
24 million bushels of corn
per year for each facility.
They draw corn from a 35 to
50 mile area and cover most
of Northwest Ohio, southern Michigan, and eastern
Indiana in a twelve county
area. Guardian, Lima LLC
takes a similar amount of
corn at around 455,000
bushels per week or 23 million bushels per year pri-
Wisconsin is the dairy capital of the US, which contributes to its fame for cheese. Famous people include

Houdini, magician and Laura Ingalls Wilder, author.

Wisconsin Cheesy Potato Pie
Verena and Loretta and I

went to a Tupperware shower
for our neighbor girl Ruth,
who was married in October.
Lunch was served to all of
us. From there we traveled
a few miles farther to go
see what bargains we could
find on material at the local
Amish store that was having a sale. We found enough
material to keep us busy sewing for Christmas gifts. Time
is limited between now and
Christmas!

How area grain is utilized

BY JAMES HOORMAN
Ag Educator

marily from an eleven county area.

In our area, soybeans are
primarily grown for protein
meal and oil. The grain is
not directly used by local
farmers and will be stored
and eventually shipped to
a soybean crushing facility
to extract oil and produce
protein meal. The oil may
be used for foods, industrial purposes, and biodiesel.
In our area a large amount
of it is further refined to
make vegetable oil, similar to the general cooking
oil one buys at the grocery store. The meal is an
important protein source
for livestock rations. Local
processing plants include
Bungee Processing at
Delphos, ADM at Fostoria,
and Cargills at Sydney.
In general wheat yields
were fair in the area and the
grain was of lower quality
than recent years. This year,
some wheat was used or
blended into livestock feed.
Local mills include Kraft at
Toledo and Mennel Milling
at Fostoria. Thus there is a
good chance that the crackers or cakes at the store may
have been baked from locally grown wheat flour.
In summary, farmers had
quite variable crop yields

2 tablespoons vinegar
1/4 cup milk

into salad. Add corn chips

Fourth period dooms Jeffcats Weekly Athletic
Jeffersons halfcourt trapping defense Jace Stockwell, Brenen Auer and Trey Smith

DELPHOS Blufftons
collapsing defense did a magnificent job on Jefferson 6-5
senior scorer Trey Smith,
holding the nearly 1,500point scorer to a mere 3-pointer in the second period.
That left the task to the
other four on the floor to do
the damage.
It worked for almost three
periods but a 26-point explosion by the Pirates, much
in part to do with the freethrow line, did them in as
the visitors grabbed a 64-57
Northwest Conference conquest Friday night on The
Stage of Jefferson Middle

School.
I dont blame Bluffton for
doing what they did tonight
and that was put three guys
on Trey and dont guard others. We will see that kind of
game plan tonight, Tuesday,
next Friday, Jefferson head
coach Marc Smith explained.
We know were going to
see it and that gives us two
options offensively: play like
it was horse on the driveway
and hit layups and other shots
or try to create offense off our
defense and get into transition. Thats what weve been
practicing on every night. We
only really did that the third
period tonight.
Bluffton head coach Todd
Boblitt agreed.
I have a tremendous
amount of respect for the
time and effort Trey puts in
to be the player he is, Boblitt
added. We just wanted to see
if their other guys could beat
us consistently for four quarters. They did at times but our
gamble worked enough. For
us tonight, it as the offense
that was the difference, both
from the field and the line.
We have struggled in both
the first three games but as
we hit shots early, we gained
confidence. We also got the
ball to our good foul shooters
in the fourth.
The Pirates (2-2, 1-0
NWC) led 28-22 at the half
before the Wildcats (1-2, 0-1)
outscored them 17-10 in the

third to take a 39-38 lead into
the fourth.
For the first 4-plus minutes, it was a showdown.
There was one tie and seven
lead changes as the battle for supremacy was on.
Jeffersons last lead was
51-50 on a power layup by
Grant Wallace (9 markers) at
3:36. A 3-ball on the left wing
by Joel Siefker (17 markers
- 5 bombs) at 3:16 gave the
Pirates the edge for good
53-51 and a Nick Friesen
(14 markers, 3 assists) basket
at 2-47 put them up four.
After Jace Stockwell (13
counters, 4 assists, 3 steals)
hit a tough deuce in the lane
at 2:31 for the home team, the
rest of Blufftons points came
from the foul line as they netted 9-of-12 (15-of-23 for the
game for 65.2%) 7-of-8
by Bret Rumer (16 counters,
8 boards) to seal the deal.
Blufftons defensive game
plan was simple from the
start surround Smith and
limit his touches, which was
accomplished. Josh Teman
(10 points, 3 assists) hit a
triple to give Delphos its only
lead of the first half at 3-2
early on and Stockwells five
points in the opener helped
pick up some of the slack
but the Pirates Friesen countered that with seven. While
Delphos was hitting 4-of-14
in the stanza (21-of-58 overall, 6-of-26 downtown, for
36.2%), the visitors canned
7-of-10 (20-of-45 total, 9-of18 long range, for 44.4%).
When Rumer drained a triple
from the left wing at 3.1 ticks,
the visitor lead was 18-11.

Lady Jays fall to taller Indians
St. Johns senior Sydney Fischbach has her hands full with the defense of Fort Recoverys
6-2 center Kendra Siefring in the paint Thursday night. (DHI Media/Larry Heiing)
BY LARRY HEIING
DELPHOS A pair of
young teams met on the court
of The Vatican Thursday
night as St. Johns hosted
Fort Recovery in Midwest
Athletic Conference action.
Only a total of three
seniors were introduced
in the starting lineups that
included recognition of
Fort Recovery winning the
Division VII State title in
football last week.
The visiting Lady Indians
opened up a 14-6 lead after
eight minutes and went on to
a 51-36 victory.
With youth comes lack of
chemistry and growing pains
until the coaches find the correct balance to make the team
function as one unit.
We are just not in sync
yet as a team, explained Blue
Jay coach Dan Grothouse
Musketeers
after the game. I thought

that we played well to move
the ball around the perimeter
but Fort Recovery was taller
and physical shutting down
our inside game.
The Jays first points of
the night came on an assist by
Madilynn Schulte to Jessica
Geise for the layin. Buckets
were scarce for St. Johns as
the twin towers of Kendra
Siefring (6-2) and Whitney
Will (6-0) dominated the
paint for the Indians. Schulte
drove inside for two and
Lexie Hays landed a scooping layup in the quarter as the
Jays trailed 14-6.
St. Johns (2-3, 1-1 MAC)
continued the attack against
the Fort team with Schulte
driving to the baseline for
the bucket to pull the Jays
within half a dozen. Sydney
Fischbach sank a free throw
and Schulte scored again
after an Indians turnover for
an 16-11 score. After a time-

out by Fort Recovery, freshman Hayleigh Bacome sank

a pair from the charity stripe,
pulling the home team within three. The Indians then
outscored the Jays 8-2 as
the Jays scored on a pull-up
jumper by Hays in the paint
to end the first-half scoring
with the Lady Indians in front
24-15.
Fort Recovery (3-1, 2-0)
continued its assault out of
the locker room, scoring the
first seven points of the half.
Geise ended the drought by
the Jays with a 14-footer from
the side and Taylor Zuber
added two with a rebound
and putback. St. Johns began
to find its outside range with
a triple by Hays and a long
two by Rachel Pohlman.
Down 39-26, Schulte muscled her way inside, bumping
her way to the hoop for two
as St. Johns faced a 13-point
deficit 41-28 to start
the final quarter.
Totals 12/21-2/11-16/29-46.

The threes continued to fly

for the Jays as Ellie Csukker
and Pohlman connected from
the top. The Indians converted from the foul line to pull
away.
Weve been outscored
36-7 from the free-throw line
in the last two games, continued Grothouse. We need
to get more aggressive and
attack the basket to create
more opportunities to cut
down this huge gap in scoring.
Fort Recovery converted
17-of-20 free throws while
St. Johns made five out of
only six attempts.
The Indians were just as
accurate from the floor in
shooting 55 percent from
inside and were 2-of-6 from

The Jays made 44 percent of their shots and landed
3-of-12 from beyond the arc.
The young Jays committed 18 turnovers compared to
12 for the Indians.
Schulte paced the Jays
offense with 12 points and
Hays chipped in nine.

off tonight, Hammons said.

It was an unbelievable game
both way, back and forth; Im
proud of my guys and the
way they fought.
The game was billed as a
battle of two of the best teams
in the Northwest Conference,
and it lived up to the hype.
They came at us and we
got down (Spencerville led
12-8 after one quarter and
23-22 at halftime), and we
were able to battle back,
Hammons said. Im just
extremely proud of the we
our guys played on both ends
of the court tonight. They
found a way to get a big first
conference win of the year.
The last to leave the visitors locker room after the
game, Sensabaugh admitted
his Bearcats (3-1, 0-1 NWC)
failed to take advantage
when opportunities presented
themselves.
I think some of our

defensive breakdowns on the
boards are what killed us.
In the fourth quarter we had
some mental errors where we
let guys get to the rim and
thats what ended up killing us, Sensabaugh said.
Making shots is always
important, but boy did we
not help ourselves from the
free throw line either; when
youre playing a really good
team, thats the kind of thing
that youve got to take care
of. We just didnt.
Midway through the
fourth quarter, Lincolnviews
Chandler Adams scored in the
post to put the Lancers ahead
42-35, the largest lead of the
game by either team. From
there, however, the Bearcats
came storming back behind a
step-back three from Nourse,
a baseline drive and score by
Goecke and a 3-pointer by
Goecke, all in the span of 90

seconds, to reclaim the lead.
Our guys are resilient,
theyre experienced, theyre
tough, Sensabaugh said.
I was really proud of our
effort, I was really proud of
the way they responded to
adversity in a tough environment; Zach gave us the best
effort he could give on about
three quarters of a leg. Were
going to get better. Im proud
of the effort that we gave.
The Lancers went back
ahead by three on a baseline drive by Austin Leeth
and a Derek Youtsey shot
from the paint, then moved to
four points ahead on Hayden
Ludwigs tip in. After a single free throw from Dakota
Prichard and Nourses driving layup made it 50-49, the
Lancers had to hold on for
the final 68 seconds.

BY JOHN PARENT

sports@timesbulletin.com
SPENCERVILLE Lincolnviews Northwest Conference

opener at Spencerville lasted the standard 32 minutes of action
on Thursday night. In truth, however, the game was decided in
the first three.
The Lady Bearcats used a swarming pressure defense and
an opportunistic fast-break attack on offense to race out to a
9-1 lead and never looked back in securing a 47-17 victory.
Spencerville, now 2-4 overall, has won two straight. The
Bearcats looked like anything but a team that had lost four in
a row to open the year.
We have played some great team that have really prepared
us to start our league play; everyone in the NWC is a very, very
competitive team, Spencerville head coach Greg Ekis said.
The teams that we have played so far have been pretty tough.
The Lancer problems were two fold: they had trouble with
turnovers and when they did manage to get a shot off, the shots
werent falling. After a sloppy win on Tuesday night, Lancer
head coach Dan Williamson was hoping his team would tighten up its play against the Bearcats. That didnt happen.
Spencerville shot a blistering 62 percent in the first quarter
and forced 11 Lancer turnovers. Lincolnview (3-2, 0-1 NWC)
finished the first half with 17 turnovers and had 30 for the
game. The Lancers connected on just 19 percent of their shots
on the night.
I believe in our athletes, I think weve got great athletes,
Ekis said. We like to try to get up the floor, we like to try
to play great pressure defense. Tonight we were able to take
advantage of that.
The Bearcats led 21-5 after one period, but had already
committed seven team fouls. Lincolnviews best chance to
get back into it might have been at the free throw line, but
Spencerville managed to defend without fouling in the second
and took a 33-5 lead into halftime, pitching a shutout in the
second quarter. Lincolnview went 0-for-11 from the field in
that period.
We finally started to move our feet a little bit instead of
trying to reach and try to make steals, Ekis said. We try to
tell (the girls) that were going to get turnovers by our feet, not
by reaching in.
Though the game was already well in hand, Lincolnview
approached the second half with far more intensity and it
showed in a third quarter that saw Spencerville limited to a
single point.
We came out in the second half with much more effort, and
it showed, Coach Williamson said. Weve got to have five
people on the floor who want to play hard and give a varsity
effort, because we didnt give a varsity effort in the first half.
They responded (after halftime); we still didnt shoot well, we
still turned it over, but I was happy with the defense; we saw
progress there.
While the Lancers are a young team, with only one junior
and no healthy seniors, Williamson says that excuse will only
work for so long.
I think the first half was a lack of effort, Williamson said.
We can only be young for so long. Effort is not age-related,
shooting is not age-related, the mistakes we are making on
offense are not due to our youth; were just not translating what
were doing in practice into games. We dont do 90 percent of
what we did tonight in practice.

Thriller
The first, a Damien Corso
leaner in the lane, missed
the mark, but Zach Goecke,
playing injured, grabbed
an offensive rebound and
fired it out to Nourse for
his 3-point try. When Derek
Youtsey grabbed the defensive rebound and was fouled,
the Lancers had a chance to
give themselves some breathing room. Youtsey missed the
front of the 1-and-1, setting
the stage for Nourses final
try.
After a Bearcats timeout,
Nourse came off a pair of
screens and found himself
wide open at the top of the
arc. His shot for the win was
just long and a scramble for
the loose ball ended when the
final horn sounded.
They played their butts
NWC) shot 56 percent (14for-25) in the second half,

but went only 2-for-9 at

game. Youtsey finished with
a team-high 15 points and
12 rebounds for the Lancers,
with 11 of his points coming in a third quarter that
saw Lincolnview go 8-for-12
from the field.
Thats the Derek we saw
in our scrimmages; the effort,
the shot-making ability, the
defense and the rebounding.
He performed well tonight,
Hammons said. I couldnt
be more proud of him and the
effort he gave.

Groves size, depth too

much for Lady Knights
BY CHARLIE WARNIMONT
sports@putnamsentinel.com
COLUMBUS GROVE
Crestview cut a 12 point halftime deficit to four points and
they had both of Columbus
Groves big girls in foul trouble.
Thats where the Bulldogs
depth started to show.
Columbus Grove halted the Knights second half
resurgence closing the quarter
with a 17-6 run that helped
propel them to a 54-39
Northwest Conference win.
The Bulldogs moved to 2-0
in the NWC and 5-0 overall,
while the Knights dropped to
1-1 in the conference and 2-2
overall.
On the strength of Lynea
Diller and Paige Bellman
inside, and two 3-pointers
by junior Macy McCluer, the
Bulldogs had a 24-12 halftime
lead. Diller, a 6-1 senior forward, had 12 first half points
for Grove and Bellman, a
5-11 sophomore forward, had
4 points, while McCluer had
6 points.
However, Crestview came
out in the second half a different team, scoring the first
eight points to make it a
24-20 game and force the
Bulldogs to use a timeout.
During that run, the Knights
were able to get the third foul
on both Diller and Bellman.
The Bulldogs didnt go into
panic mode as they hit two
big shots out of the timeout to
stem the tide and regain their
momentum.
We have five seniors on
this team, four that are playing (one is injured), and thats
what you hope you get out of
a senior-led team, Columbus
Grove coach Brian Schroeder
said. A well-coached team
and talented team like
Crestview, you know they are
going to make a run. You
just hope your players have
the composure and the poise
to withstand that and answer
back. I was proud of our
character and grit to be able
to respond to the Crestview
run.
After five different players
scored for the Knights during
their 8-0 run, the Bulldogs
answered back as Brooke
Hoffman ended a 3:27 Grove
scoring drought with a basket. After a Crestview miss,
Bearcats
Grove senior Kyrah Yinger

delivered a huge shot as she
nailed a three-pointer from
the right corner for a nine
point Bulldog lead.
After an Emily Bauer
basket for the Knights made
it a seven-point game, the
Bulldogs ended the quarter
with a 10-2 run for a 41-26
lead. McCluer had a pair of
3-pointers for the Bulldogs in
the run, her third and fourth of
the night, while Jade Clement
converted a steal into a layup
and Hoffman converted two
free throws. Bauer scored the
lone Knight points with an
inside basket.
We are definitely worried when our bigs are in
foul trouble, Schroeder said.
You hope that other girls
step up and we can withstand
that. Macy McCluer stepped
up tonight and hit a couple of
big threes and Kyrah Yinger
had a big basket there. That
was a big shot for us and for
Kyrah as she had missed a
couple of threes, but stepped
up and had the confidence to
take that shot.
Crestview scored the first
basket of the fourth quarter before McKenzie Bame
hit a driving layup for the
Bulldogs and Clement converted another steal into two
points for a 17-point lead.
The Knights never had the
Bulldog lead under 15 points
the rest of the night.
After scoring 12 points in
the first half, Diller finished
with 15 points to lead the
Bulldogs. McCluer added 12
points and Clement had 8
points and 5 steals. Bellman
grabbed five rebounds for the
Bulldogs.
Bauer and Paige Motycka
led the Knights with 10 points
each and Claire Zaleski had 9
points.

Very few of those turnovers were because of what

Spencerville did. Weve just got to get better at what we are
doing; I think we will.
Lincolnview has a week to build on the few positives in
this loss before it hosts Allen East next Thursday. Spencerville
hosts Paulding at the same time.
Defensively, were not a bad team, Williamson said, but
we have to guard 30 extra possessions because we turn the ball
over; any team is going to give up points when you do that.

BLUFFTON Blufftons
girls basketballers in particular freshman sharpshooter Alivia Koenig started
out on fire Thursday night
against Jefferson.
Koenig hit five triples in
the opening period to stake
the Lady Pirates to a 22-9
lead.
Though they couldnt
maintain that hot start, the
young Lady Pirates (3 starting
freshmen, 1 senior, 3 juniors
1 injured and another freshman) turned to other
parts of the offense to hold
off the Lady Wildcats 58-47
in Northwest Conference
action inside The Pirates
Den of Bluffton High School.
We didnt get to their
shooters in time the first
quarter and they made us pay.
We did a much better job of
that the last three quarters
but they hurt us on the backdoor cuts because we were
a little too overaggressive
on the backside, Jefferson
mentor Dave Hoffman said.
Even though we lost, I felt
we took a step in the right
direction overall tonight,
showing some real intestinal
fortitude to fight back. We
easily could have folded right
away but we battled back
and had chances to get closer
than six but couldnt. I saw
a more aggressive attitude
offensively.
Bluffton head man Eric
Garmatter who didnt
have junior Andie Schmutz
due to injury also saw
further development.
I have full confidence
in my freshmen I almost
dont consider than freshmen
anymore with all their varsity
minutes and my team,
Garmatter added. We just
didnt feel Andie could cut
and that wont due against
the defense that Jefferson can
bring. Our girls have a green
light to shoot the 3 at any
time and if you dont come
out far enough, we will let it
fly. If you do, we can put the
ball on the floor and attack

Winter chill equals Sauger success

Winter is quickly arriving in Ohio, with its
cold temperatures and blowing snow causing
many a fishermen to stow their gear. However, a
few diehard fishermen wanting to escape winters
dreariness will brave the elements and head to the
Ohio River to fish for sauger.
During colder months, October through
February, sauger are much more active. They
concentrate in large numbers downstream of Ohio
River locks and dams.These areas provide needed
wintering structure and are where shad, saugers
primary forage are abundant. In late winter, sauger will continue to stay grouped for pre-spawn
staging and a March/April spawn, thus creating
increased fishing opportunities. There are nine
Ohio River locks and dams along Ohios southern
boundary. At Pike Island, Racine, R.C. Byrd, and
Greenup, the tailwater areas are located on the
Ohio side of the river and have improved fishermen shore accesses.
Sauger are river inhabiting cousins to the walleye. They can be distinguished from walleye by
their spotted dorsal fins, dark saddle-like botches
on back and sides and the absence of a white spot
on the bottom of the tail. They are equally tasty
table fare making them prized catches. Most fish
will range from 10 to16 inches with an occasional
fish up to 20 inches. Sauger tend to feed during
low-light conditions making morning and evenings the best times to fish but overcast days can
increase this feeding window. Some anglers swear
that the more nasty and dreary the day is, the better
the bite.
Equipment is simple. Spinning reels, eight
to 14-pound test line, and a medium action rod
is sufficient. Braided lines are preferred because
theyre more sensitive allowing you to feel the
light bites. Ballhead lead jigs, 1/8 to 3/8-oz., are
tried and proven. River current will determine
what weight to use. A good rule of thumb is to
use just enough weight to maintain contact with
the bottom. Brightly colored jigs and twister tails
that contrast against the water color are best. Cold
water can cause soft bites so using stinger or
trail hooks will help with short strikes. When
fish are finicky try tipping jigs with a shiner or
fathead minnow. Make sure you bring extra tackle
as snagging is inevitable; count on losing many
in the rocks and debris commonly found at all
Pigskin

Denver- I tried to talk myself
into picking Oakland again but the
Raiders have burned me two weeks
in a row.
Miami- Eli Manning is NOT
elite. Neither is Ryan Tannehill.
Jacksonville- The game is in
Florida. Thats my entire reasoning.
Detroit- The Lions could have a
hangover from what was a terrible
loss last week, but the Rams have
been bad of late.
Tampa- The Saints have a very
bad defense.
Green Bay- The line on this game
is 7.5, but Id be comfortable saying
the Pack wins by double figures.
Titans- No idea why. This game
tailwaters. Rapala minnows, vibrating blades like

Sonars or Vibes, and jigging spoons are good
choices when fish are really active. Keep in mind
that these lures snag easier and are more costly to
replace than jigs.
Water current is important when fishing for
sauger, especially eddies. An eddy is formed when
current flows towards the bank then swings back
upstream creating a slack water area. This slack
water concentrates baitfish and is a perfect spot
for a sauger to ambush prey without expending
much energy. Riprap points, fishing platforms and
piers, irregular shorelines, stream confluences,
and lock walls are all tailwater features that will
create an eddy.
When fishing in current, a basic presentation
is to fan cast upstream then quartering across the
river on the retrieve. When fishing an eddy, cast
downstream and retrieve in the same direction the
water is flowing. Sauger tend to hug the bottom,
usually facing into the current so jig slowly across
the bottom, lifting the lure no more than 4 to 6
inches. Sauger usually strike on the fall of the lure.
A strike can vary from a tap to simply feeling a
slight weight on the line.
Most fish can be successfully targeted in the
8- to 20-foot depths. Bright sunny days and clear
water will cause saugers to move deeper. Evening
hours can bring larger fish shallow to feed, sometime striking lures right up to the waters edge.
Ohio has a reciprocal license agreement with
both West Virginia and Kentucky. A valid Ohio
license allows an angler to legally fish either side
of the main stem Ohio River. The daily bag limit
is 10 fish with no minimum size limit.

Division of Wildlife district office.

Hunters checked 73,399 white-tailed deer
COLUMBUS Hunters checked 73,399
white-tailed deer during Ohios 2015 deer-gun
hunting season, Nov. 30-Dec. 6, according to the
ODNR. This represents a significant increase over
last years harvest of 65,484 deer. During the 2013
deer-gun season, 75,408 deer were checked.
To date, for the 2015 deer hunting seasons,
hunters have checked 152,554 deer. Last year at
this same time, hunters had harvested a total of
148,821 deer. Given that the year-to-date harvest
is only slightly higher, the significant increase in
this years deer-gun season can most likely be
attributed to better weather conditions compared to
is a toss-up to me.

DAVE BONINSEGNA
COLLEGE:
Navy: The Midshipmen have
posted a record 13 straight wins in
the series and Keenan Reynolds can
become the first QB to go 4-0 in
the rivalrys history Saturday. Navy
(9-2) has outscored Army 417-142
during the run that began after the
Black Knights 24-18 victory in
2001. This should be no contest;
Navy wins big.
PROS:
San Francisco: Johnny Manzel is
back but should make no difference;
the Browns are a dumpster fire. I like
the Niners.
Cincinnati: Just to be a scary
the 2014 deer-gun season. A smaller contributing

element could be the fact that there was not an antlerless muzzleloader season in October this year.
This years harvest was closer to the 2013 deergun season harvest, which also points to last years
poor weather as the primary factor for the increase.

deer checked by hunters during the weeklong
2015 deer-gun hunting season is shown below.

game, but with both teams on a roll

again and this in the Jungle, I am taking MY Bengals to sweep the series.
Chicago: Both teams 5-7 but
Washingtons leading the NFC East..
thats sad. I am taking the Bears just
because they are home.
New England: No way the Pats
lose another although that would be
fun to see.
Denver: Denver at 10-2 should
have no issues in this game that used
to be a big rivalry game.
Giants: The Giants are on a
3-game losing streak and are banged
up, but get back on the right track
this week in Miami.
Indianapolis: Jacksonville is
fighting with Cleveland for the number 1 pick next year; they add to their
loss total this week against the Colts.

Detroit: The Lions lost a tough
one last week, while the Rams got
pummeled again. The Lions are 1-4
on the road, but make it 2-4 after
this week.
Tampa Bay: The Saints have
been very disappointing and things
dont get better this week; the Buccs
can go 7-6 with a win at home and
do so.
Green Bay: The Packers pulled
out a big win last week and with
the Cowboys banged up, they catch
Dallas at the right time for them. The
Pack win it at Lambeau.
Jets: The Jets are 2-0 after the
Fitzpatrick beard trim and make it
3-0 with a win against the Titans.

A Christian Perspective on Stewardship

The Tragedy of the Commons is a cautionary article written by the biologist Garrett
Hardin in 1968. The tragedy referred to is the tendency for individuals to use more than
their fair share of common resources when it will benefit them, even if doing so will deplete the common resource. Consider a pasture available for grazing by everyone in the
community; this is the commons. It will often be in the interests of individuals to increase
the size of their herds, thereby depleting community resources, and ultimately harming
the common resource. What is positive for the individual may often be negative for the
community. This problem applies to almost every environmental issue with which we are
faced, from fossil fuels and global warming to the community dumpsite. It is tempting to
appeal to peoples conscience and say, Use only your fair share, but this doesnt help
much, since we simply dont know in most cases what constitutes a fair share. The
Biblical notion of stewardship might be helpful here, since humans are given dominion
over the earth. However, dominion does not mean that we can do whatever we want with
the earth, but rather that we are to exercise wise stewardship over it. Since the individual
cannot solve this problem themselves, we must come together as a community, including
the world community, to responsibly solve the tragedy for the commons.
Woe to those who join house to house, who add field to field, until there is no more
room, and you are made to dwell alone in the midst of the land.
R.S.V. Isaiah 5:8
Our local churches invite you to join them for their activities and services.

The letters Santa Claus receives
That
by EVELYN MARTIN
The custom of sending letters to Santa Claus, asking him
for certain coveted gifts is becoming more general every year,
until now, a few weeks preceding Christmas, in houses where
there are young children, a chimney post office is established,
and letters fly up and are tumbled down to the great delight of
the correspondents of that jolly old boySanta Claus. Spirits
like himself are covered with soot, smell of fire crackers, and
are so comical that the little ones dance with glee when they
receive an answer to their petitions. One little boy writes:
Dear Old Man: I want an ox whip to slash the stuffin out
of our Billy goat, who bucks me over, a brass cannon, and a
gun to scare Jim with. Dont put my things in Jims stockings.
My stockings are re, with holes in the knees. Ma and Pa are
always foolin about Christmas Eve, but come along and dont
mind them . Yours Tom P.S.I dont like peppermint sticks.
New York Evening Sun
(printed in the Springfield Daily Republic (Springfield,
Ohio) 31 Dec. 1887)
(Source: Newspapers.com)
Writing letters to Santa Claus has been a Christmas tradition for children for many years.
An early example reveals that children were already writing letters to Santa in the late 1800s. However, publishing
childrens letters to Santa did not become a widespread trend
among newspapers until the turn of the 20th century.
Looking back through these letters leads to many interesting questions and thoughts. In what ways have Dear Santa
letters changed over the years? What kinds of gifts are still on
lists today, and which ones are no longer desired? How many
children continue to write Santa telling him that they have
moved, or to request gifts for friends and family? How do
your Christmas wishes compare to these letters?
A Letter to Santa Claus
Dear SantaYou know I wrote you last week asking you to
bring me a drum. Dont do it; that order is canceled. Mamma
shot down on it. She says a boy can make noise enough without a drum. She says I can have a ball, or a top, or marbles,
or skates, or a set of tools, or a sled, or an express wagon, or
a muffler, or a pair of ear bobs, or some mittens, (double ones
she says), or checkers, or a fox-and-geese board, or a story
book, but she drew the line on drums and harps and flobert
guns, and says the books, if you send them must not be about
fighting Indians, for she dont want me to go West till I get to
be a man and have cause. Santa, weve got the nicest baby at
our house in this town. She has blue eyes, and nice soft hair,
and just the pinkest fattest checks, and is just as sweet as she
can be. Mammas afraid for me to touch her,cause she says
Ill break her to pieces by letting her fallbut I wouldnt.
Shes mighty cute and sweet. Anything you send to her send
to my care. Ron
P.S.-I forgot something. Strange I should, too, for
Grandma never forgets me when Im busy and whistle and
bang things about and knock the baby over and pull the cats
tail and make her yowl. You bet she dont. But I was going
to say that Grandma toasts her feet lots of the time, thats
what she calls it, but I call it warm-en or baken em, and I
thought If youd slip in a pair of warm cloth slippers with soft
insides to them, that Grandma would be the ticklest old lady in
town. P.S. again-Dont forget the baby!!! Goodbye R
(23 December 1890 The Pique Daily Call (Piqua, Ohio)
dear santy clause
dont forget me I want a little red wagon full of things and
a box with a punch and judy in it and a popcorn and dont
forget them
your little charlie mccoy
p.s.I dont fight my little brother bob no more and ma
says if I wuz good youd bring me lots o nice things say you
better not come down our chimney you might get my wagon
dirty
(21 December 1900 Coshocton Daily Times (Coshocton,
Ohio)
Dear Santa Claws: I want a pair of skates and a pair of
boots and a pair of Indian gloves a hill coaster and air gun
and a sward. Harry Hall, in the rear of 437 N. West St.
(17 December 1910 The Lima News (Lima, Ohio)
Dear Santa: I would like for Christmas please, a grey
sweter, a pair of leather gloves, some waists, a cap, some
underwear and stockings and would like a pair of roller
skates, a bicycle, an airship, win mill. I am six years old and
live at 520 Central St. My name is Ellsworth N. Keaney
(17 December 1920 The Sundusky Star-Journal
(Sundusky, Ohio)
During the Great Depression some children asked for a lot
of presents such as this:
Dear Santa: This is what I want for Christmas: a B.B. gun,
car, bicycle, pack of B.B.s, electric train, a house, candy,
oranges, nuts, Christmas tree, traps, golf set, books, sand
port, tool box and stamper.
Another child however, writes a more simple letter saying:
Dear Santa I will be thankful for whatever you send me.
And still another says: Please get my dad a job for
Christmas.
(24 December 1930 The Evening Independent(Massillon,
Ohio)
Dear Santa: I am a little girl three years old. I would like
a doll that cries and wets its pants, a set of dished and a table
and chairs. I would also like some candy, nuts and oranges.
Please dont forget my little brother. I will leave the stove door
open. Your loving friend. Lorette Lee Mitchell
(17 December 1940 The Marysville Tribune Marysville,
Ohio)
Dear Santa: I am a boy eight years old. I go to school most
every day. I try real hard to be good. I would like to get for
Christmas an Indian suit, guns and holster, also a tool bench
with lots of tools for it. I want lots of candy and nuts. Ronnie
Campbell
P.S. Anything else you want to bring me.
(12 December 1950 Wilmington News-Journal
(Wilmington, )Ohio)
Dear Santa Claus, I want a nurses kit (because it has more
things in it than a doctors kit), a doctors suit to dress up in, a
Popeye doll, a guitar, a bolts and nuts set, a toy typewriter, a
money changer and some play money, and a toy electric shaver. I will leave quite a bit of candy in a bowl, a jelly sandwich,
cocoa, Pepsi, a candy cane, cookies, carrots, cucumbers and
pickles and a present, all for you, Santa Claus, in the living
room. Thanks for the presents and candy. Give Chris a toy
kitty. Michael Peelle Robinson

(Wilmington, Ohio)
Dear Santa Claus, Im five years old. Ive been a good girl.
And I want Ants in the Pants, Break the Ice, Drecys Bessys,
fire truck, chalkboard, Baby tender love, Hot Wheels, cake
mixes, clothes and my two front teeth and what ever else you
want to bring. P.S. I will leave some cookies and milk for you.
Lori Kay Tumbleson
(Wilmington, Ohio)
Sometimes Santa needed directions to the childs house:
Dear Santa, I hope you can get me a hot wheel and a drive
command, that one of those things that either a jeep or a car
and you push it will go either way. I fink that all I want. From
North Pole, follow path to flee market to a curve to a house
with a bridgge this side of it - go to the second house to the
back part and get up on the roof, Charley Teeters
(20 December 1980 The Daily News (Huntington,
Pennsylvania)
And he needed translation skills:
Dear Santa, I wuode lick a now tecknodrome. A tecknodromer, a tertel, a tocolagos, fot solger. Love Josh age 8 PS I
an leving some milk and cocise for you.
(23 December 1990 The Kokomo Tribune (Kokomo,
Indiana)
And sometimes he received concise instructions:
Dear Santa, When you are coming to My house dont use
the window or the chimny. We will have a fire gowing in the
chimney and the window will be loked, you must come threw
the croge or our dogs will bit. My little brother would like a
nothe Mozart vedio, next time you are hungry eat a healthy
meal. Aw I fragot I would like a great Christmas, yours truly,
Skylar.

Opinion
The perfect fit

or not
I really enjoy shopping - for other
people. I dont like shopping for myself
and never have - especially clothes!!!!
I want to be able to go into a store and
say I want the Christine Looser size,
age appropriate please. And the clerk
would say, Of course Mrs. Looser,
follow me to your very own up-to-date
and may I say very stylish selection.
And it would be the perfect size, perfect
length, perfect fit around my ever changing shape and a very flattering color that
would make me look at least ten years
younger or like Meryl Streep. I would
say thank you very much, grab my new
wardrobe and be home in an hour.
Ha, ha, ha....that is so funny, right?
My children gave me a little book
not so long ago, with pages and little
adorable sayings they could fill in like:
I am most like mom in my......and
they would fill in things like My good
looks, My wonderful bubbly personality etc. You get the drift.
But one page was I always think of
Mom and....
One of my lovely childrens responses was Mom and her black striped
workout pants.
I was mortified! They were right. I
was in a great big dark sink hole of black
pants with stripes. I looked in my closet...black pants with stripes, stripes on
Hear the bells
Chris Looser
On the
Other Hand
black pants, pants with small stripes, big

stripes, just stripes!!!!!
So a shopping trip was in order and
I was determined to win my battle over
the mighty striped leisure pant!
I can do this, NO STRIPES, NO
STRIPES, NO BLACK, NO BLACK I
kept repeating to myself all the way to
the mall.
So let me confide in you. I am
mmmmssmsms60ish, and I think our
age group fell through the fashion abyss
they call current and cool clothes. You
either have to dress like you are 20 and
shaped like Barbie or dress like you are
over the hill and stay in your PJs all day.
Sorry all you designers, I am NEITHER.
Things have a way of shifting as you
grow older, and many of the new styles
are pretty shiftless. I tried a pair of
those biker type pants before. My husband said he would really not like to be
seen in public with me wearing them.
And I agreed and I really didnt think I
even would want to wear them at home
in fear I might walk past a mirror.
He said, Look for some ladies your
age in the advertisements and see what
they are wearing. Those ads are far and
few between that feature mature ladies
and if they do they are selling arthritis
medicine or adult discreet underwear.
I hit the mall with high hopes, still
repeating NO black, NO stripes.

Found some. These are cute, Ill
give them a shot. I got them up, but I am
not sure I can find a long enough shirt
to cover up all thats bumping out. (I
wont call them bulges, but ladies you
know what I mean).
Next pair. You have got to be kidding me! My calves have never been
that size and I dont plan on becoming a
swimmer and use them like those aerodynamic body suits they wear to cut
down the draft. Nope.
Next...too low. Next....how can they
fit around my body, but be made for a
8 footer? Next...TOO MUCH color and
some sort of crazy hexagon, polygon design. I look like a walking kaleidoscope.
What kind of models do these designers use? The tags say average.
Yea right. Average for what species?
Finally, after getting desperate and
checking out the childrens extra large
section, the mens extra small section, I
decided to roam into the petite section
and the sky opened up and the angels
sang. I found 2 pair of comfortable, not
really embarrassing potentials! These
will work....not too tight, not too long.
My kids will be thrilled because they are
not black with stripes!
They are blue with stripes. I hope
my kids still recognize me.
Most of my days end with

tea. The routine is usually A)
I ask my Steven if he would
like a cup of tea and then put
the kettle on to boil just before
jumping in the shower; B) the
whistle blows; C) Steven drops
his book, pushes the dog off
his lap and D) sweetly asks me
what kind of tea I would like.
Taking nighttime tea with me is
more of a symbolic gesture on
his part since I drink mine to the
Anne Coburn-Griffis
dregs while Steves cup is nearly
full at sunrise. The plants appreciate his tea drinking habits.
I drink my tea when the lights are out. The dogs snore close
by, but all else is as quiet as it gets along the one-lane roads
hereabouts. A train rolls by miles west, a pair of great-horned
owls converse across the hollow, but all else is still. Its a time
for reflection and peace.
On the night that I write this, the tea is peppermint to commemorate an evening of singing Christmas carols. Included on
the song sheet were traditional songs. Lyrics were modernized
here and there, but the words remained familiar. I Heard the
Bells my favorite made the list, and it made me cry, as it
does each year.
Poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote Christmas Bells
the poem on which that carol is based in 1863 after his eldest
son was seriously wounded during the American Civil War battle
of New Hope Church. Wadsworth, despite his anguish and concern, still penned a poem of hope and possibility that rings just as
true today as the bells of peace that inspired him 152 years ago.
Around the world, humans respond to three types of bells:
bells that signal sorrow, beginnings or endings (considered one
and the same in this context) and joy. Imagine not recognizing
that first type of bell. Ill buy you all a round of peppermint tea
and drink to that, to a life without sorrow, and to the pealing joy
that are the bells of Christmas day.
No remedy for high drug costs

There are amazing, life-changing breakthroughs in medicine on the horizon.
Researchers are working on new therapies for
nearly all medical problems. These new therapies will target specific genetic mutations
or spark the immune system into action. The
future is now!
In the coming months and years well hear
more about genome sequencing. An unintended consequence to these breakthroughs will
be the cost of these discoveries as insurance
premiums soar to cover the cost of these miracle treatments.
Prescription drug manufacturers blame
high prices on the complexity of biology,
government regulations and shareholder
demands (greed) for high profit margins. This
is according to an op-ed column in the New
York Times by Peter Bach, a physician and
director of the Center for Health Policy at
Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
Company officials say laws force insurers
to include essentially all expensive drugs in
their policies, and a philosophy that demands
that every new health care product be available to everyone, no matter how little it helps
or how much it costs.
Politics is also a factor. Take Pfizers $160
billion plan to merge with Irelands Allergan.
This merger could lower Pfizers corporate
tax rate from 25.6 percent to 17 percent in
2017. That will save the company $2.1 billion
in taxes.
Because of co-pays, negotiated deals by
insurance carriers and other package deals,

many consumers are not aware of the enormous costs of high-priced treatments. All we
know is our health care premiums continue
to soar. Medicare is not permitted by law to
negotiate with drug providers but Medicaid
and the Veterans Administration are.
Here are a few examples of high-drug
costs. They are taken from various published
articles. The pharmaceutical industry argues
that drug spending is only 10 percent of all
health care spending, but that 10 percent
equals around $300 billion per year. More
important, the costs are being passed on to
patients.
You might not know Gilead Sciences
charges $1,000-a-pill for Sovaldi to treat hepatitis C, and thats for a 12-week treatment,
or $84,000 per patient. They originally considered charging up to $121,000. Gilead also
offers Harvoni for hep C at a cost of $94,500
for the 12 weeks. Hep C is a liver-damaging
virus.
Those two drugs generated $14.2 billion in
global sales for Gilead for just the first nine
months of 2015. State Medicaid programs
paid $1.3 billion for Sovaldi in 2014. Less
than 2.4 percent of the 700,000 Medicaid
patients with hep C were treated.
Bach says cancer drug prices averaged
$5,000 to $10,000 per month in 2013. Eleven
of the 12 drugs approved by the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration cost cancer patients
$100,000 a year.

I have attempted to clean the substance off but it only has
partially come off.
Thanks for your lack of maturity.

People Make
the Difference
Amgens Blincyto for leukemia costs

$178,000 for a standard course of treatment
(2 $89,000 cycles of therapy). It treats acute
lymphoblastic leukemia. There are 6,000
Americans diagnosed each year.
Mercks Keytruda for skin cancer runs
$12,500 a month, or $150,000 a year when
given every three weeks. Bristol-Myers
Squibb offers Yervoy for skin cancer at a cost
of $120,000 per course which is four doses.
Youve seen TV ads for Humira, Celebrex
and Enbrel that all treat Rheumatoid Arthritis.
That will cost you about $5,000 a week. Bach
says they are not a cure for RA but they treat
the symptoms. You can relieve the discomfort
of Diabetic Nerve Pain with Lyrica for $340
for 60 capsules.
Another heavily advertised drug treatment is for Atrial Fibrillation (A-Fib), an
abnormal heart rhythm. The old standby pill
is Warfarin. The new kids on the block are
Eliquis, Pradaxa and Xarelto. They run about
$342 for 30 tablets.
What is confusing to many Americans
is the knowledge prices for these drugs in
Europe are 50 percent below what we pay,
according to a McKinsey study from 2008,
Bach wrote in his op-ed.
Another tough question we all have to
answer: if you have a serious medical condition, do you want the therapy that costs the
least, or the one that offers the best chance of
relief or cure? Keep in mind, the most expensive is not always the best. And, can you
assume your doctor is prescribing a therapy

based on cost, preference or affiliation with a
pharmaceutical company?
********
The following analysis of the 10,535 pages
of the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) was
forwarded to me last week by Grant Meyer, a
local insurance agent. The summary was written by an unnamed Notre Dame University
engineer. It takes just four sentences.
As humorous as it sounds, every last word
is true. The ACA is a sneaky way to raise
money to fund a free servicealso called
redistribution of wealth.
1. In order to insure the uninsured, we first
have to un-insure the insured.
2. Next, we require the newly un-insured
to be re-insured.
3. To re-insure the newly un-insured, they
are required to pay extra charges to be re-insured.
4. The extra charges are required so that
the original insured, who became un-insured,
and then became re-insured, can pay enough
extra so that the original un-insured can be
insured, so it will be free-of-charge to them.
As we are now learning, what the skeptics
said all along, the costs of the ACA are soaring and major insurance carriers are threatening to get out of the business because of the
suffocating losses. And, the 17 million people
(who now have health insurance) it was supposed to help are finding they still cant afford
the soaring premiums.

Schnipke hopes to be
a star for Christmas
BY NANCY SPENCER
DHI Media Editor
DELPHOS
One
young Ottoville man hopes
Christmas comes a week
early. Aaron Schnipke will
share his singing, acting and
modeling talents alongside
249 children, teens and young
adults in the U.S. chosen
to audition at the Applause
Rising Talent Showcase
(ARTS) next week.
I am so happy I get to
do this, the 17-year-old son
of Lisa Schnipke and Scott
Schnipke said. It was the
greatest thing that ever happened to me when I was chosen.
Schnipkes long-term goal
is to perform on Broadway
but said Reality TV also has
some allure.
I would love to compete
on The Voice or Americas
Got Talent, he said. I just
hope I do well in Florida and
Schnipke
someone likes me enough to
buy me or back me.
Schnipkes work is cut
out for him in Florida. ARTS
consists of five days of open
auditions for talent scouts,
agents and casting directors
in the acting, dance, music
and modeling industries. If
one of them likes Aarons
work, they will offer him a
one-on-one interview.
Its going to be a busy
Snow
They filmed the scene a dozen times and

its literally about three seconds of the movie,
Krendl said.
Since then, Snow Business has continued contacting Krendl to help design and build custom
machines for special effects in movies. Krendl
has learned a lot about how his machines are
used and what goes into making a snow scene so
he can adapt his products to what works best for
each specific need.
For instance, filmmakers who need snow to
stay in place for a month to film scenes need a
paper fiber material for the snow. On the other
hand, if the production has a scene where snow is
fall during shooting, then a soap material is used
so it will disappear when it hits clothing, just like
real snow.
Im always critical when watching a snow
scene now, Krendl said. In many scenes, theyll
have the actors running through the snow and its
suppose to be cold outside, but you cant see the
breath coming out of their mouths.
Snow Business does not just create scenes
for movies, television, and commercials, it also
creates a snow experience for people to enjoy at
events or shopping centers where they might not
have snow otherwise.
Cool Machines was contacted to help build a
winter wonderland in Hampton Roads, Virginia,
an ocean front metropolitan area where snow is
rare. In an outdoor shopping center, the machines
were used to create a Chronicles of Narnia
scene with snow for guests to enjoy. A 60-foot
pine tree was covered in snow, which is called
flocking the tree.
Water comes out of a nozzle on the blower
first, then a paper snow is blown out of the
machine, sticking to the tree to look like real
snow.
Snow is not the only special effect these blow-
Fires
Guns
week, he said. Well drive

down and then the showcase
starts on Wednesday and the
last day is a Red Carpet
event. I just hope someone
wants to talk me.
Schnipke has been practicing every day and attended
several workshops to hone
his skills.
My family has been really supportive of me and has
helped me practice, the St.
Johns High School junior
said. My sister was the one
who heard about it on the
radio and got all this started.
Schnipkes dream doesnt
come cheap. The cost of
the five-day event is $2,000
which doesnt include traveling expenses, food or hotel
stays.
Ive been fundraising and
having bake sales and my
sister set up a GoFundMe
page to help, Schnipke said.
I just want to have fun and
make people smile and laugh.
Thats my favorite thing.
ing machines are used to create. Cool Machines

also has had its machines used to create sandstorms or ash from a volcanic eruption in movies.
The sandstorm scenes in Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol were created by Cool Machines
blowers.
The machines used to create the snow are
now spreading from movies and commercials to
people wanting to make snow in their own front
yards for Christmas.
Its becoming a landscaping project, Krendl
said. People can pay $3,000 to $5,000 to have
landscapers put snow in their front yards and
come back and clean it up after the holidays are
over.
Were studying to see if there is a market
there for us, Krendl said.
It is novel, niche markets like that which
define Cool Machines as a business.
The business philosophy is not just related to
Cool Machines snow blowers, but their other
machines as well. Cool Machines is recognized
by industry professionals as a unique designer
and manufacturer of cutting edge innovations
for many industrial challenges. The company is
a leader in insulation blowing/spraying machines
for professional insulation contractors as well as a
custom designer for machines in other industries.
Cool Machines is also expanding into Cool
Outdoor Machines with a new mower that is a
riding mower and a walk-behind mower all in
one.
People come to us because they know if
theyve got a problem well fix it, Krendl said.
Well fit the customers special needs.
The majority of business for Cool Machines
is the insulation blowers. The production of
machines that are used for the special effects in
movies, commercials,and other events is only
about five percent of Cool Machines business.
Even though it is only a small percentage, it is
still cool.
Cords on Christmas lights

should also be checked each
year before decorating and
those with frayed or broken
wires should be discarded.
As always, home should
have working smoke detectors with batteries checked
twice a year and placed
inside or outside each sleeping area.
Everyone in the home
should also know the escape
plan if there is a fire and
where to meet once outside.
Resident should also have
two routes of escape.
A lot of times we find
the second entrance in manufactured homes is block by
furniture or something else,
Flowers said. Its critical
to leave the second way out
clear.
Flowers added that on
numerous occasions, people
lose their lives because they
re-enter a burning home.
People should always
stay outside once they get
there, Flowers said. You
should never go back in a
burning structure once you
have reached safety. We see
a lot of people lose their
lives because they go back
in for a pet or an item they
think is important.
According to statistics,
the elderly are also more
at risk to be injured or die
in a fire. Nearly 37 percent
of fire fatalities are senior
citizens.
This goes back to having working smoke detectors in the home, Flowers
said. We need to make sure
they have the best chance to
escape their home is it is on
fire.
While Mother Jones defines a mass shooting as one where four

or more people are killed, it excludes any gang activity, armed robbery, or domestic violence. At the other extreme of the spectrum,
Mass Shooting Tracker has established its criteria as any event
wherein four or more people are shot, regardless of the motivations
for the violence or the nature of the perpetrators.
Although spree killings and terrorism are primary motivators
for some to arm up, local dealers report that Van Wert and Allen
Counties, buyers are likely coming in for different reasons.
Theyre buying Christmas presents, Bart Sidle, owner of BHS
Guns, said. Last year at this time, my sales went up then, too.
Having said that, Sidle that not everyone is Christmas shopping.
When it comes to handguns, bolt-action and lever-action rifles, certainly. But those that are coming in for semi-automatics, those are a
completely different breed, he said.
When it comes down to the so-called black guns, the ARs, I
dont think thats Christmas, Sidle asserted. I think thats got a lot
to do with whats going on in the country.
Sidle further related that with at least one of the black guns a
customer requested, demand is so high that the manufacturer cant
keep up.
Its back-ordered, he said. I cant even lay my hands on one.
We see this every time that theres a mass shooting somewhere;
gun sales do spike, stated Putnam County Sheriff Mike Chandler.
People think that they have to go out and buy a gun to protect
themselves. People who have been thinking about buying a gun
think that they have to go get a gun before some law will pass that
will prevent them from buying one.
Even so, and while acknowledging that wide-ranging concerns
are not unwarranted, Chandler advised caution and reflection.
For someone whos never owned a gun to go and buy a gun...
in my opinion, it wouldnt be the wise thing to do, he said. To
educate themselves on how to use a gun to protect themselves, if
they feel they need one, would be the best route to go. If somebody
absolutely thinks that they need a gun to protect themselves, Id like
to see them educate themselves on how to use a gun properly and on
the safety aspects first before rushing out to buy one.
Van Wert County Sheriff Thomas Rigenbach concurred. While
vehemently supporting citizens Second Amendment right to keep
and bear arms, Rigenbach emphasized the need for gun safety.
If someone wants to go out and purchase a firearm, they should
certainly do that, he said. But gun safety is important. I would
certainly encourage involvement in safety training.
Before purchasing a firearm, both sheriffs recommended that
those unfamiliar with the weapons would be best served by taking a
firearms safety course or, even if uninterested in acquiring a permit,
a concealed carry class. There, gun owners learn how to properly
use and maintain their firearms and how best to store them, to keep
them from the very thieves they were purchased to deter.
Rigenbach pointed out that these courses are designed to make
gun owners experienced handlers, aware of the downsides of abuse
and proficient in the use of firearms.
And gun safety is part of that proficiency, Rigenbach said.
Ive always said that education is a lot better than a gun,
Chandler concluded.

Answers to Wednesdays questions:

The National Hockey Association changed ice
hockey games from two 30-minute halves to three
20-minute periods in 1910 for economic reasons. It
gave fans additional opportunity to stretch their legs
and spend money at concession stands.
The only one of the 27 Amendments to the U.S.
Constitution in which the word sex appears is the 19th,
which gave women the right to vote. Passed by Congress
in 1919 and ratified in 1920, it states, the rights of citizens of the U.S. to vote shall not be denied or abridged
by the U.S. or any state on account of sex.
Todays questions:
What metaphoric rock is formed when limestone is
subjected to heat and pressure in the earths crust?
What bird eggs did offbeat Icelandic actress-singer
Bjork lay on the red carpet at the 2001 Academy
Awards ceremony when she appeared in her infamous
swan dress?
