DELPHOSAs an
Associate Veterinarian at
Delphos Animal Hospital, Dr.
April Shattuck has the perfect
platform to nurture her love of
animals. Whether shes deal-
ing with a kitten or a pot-belly
pig, Shattuck enjoys caring for
her patients and teaching cli-
ents to care for them as well.
I went to Bowling Green
University for my undergrad-
uate work and I started out
interested in marine biology,
she said. I really wanted to
work with animals and that
sounded interesting. I did more
research and realized that it
wasnt going to be as reward-
ing as I thought, so I started
shadowing at Midway Animal
Hospital and ended up switch-
ing to Veterinary Medicine.
Its very rewarding.
Having grown up in Lima,
Shattuck says the opening at
Delphos Animal Hospital was
a perfect fit.
I had shadowed with Dr.
John and Dr. Bonnie, so I
was familiar with them and I
really liked them and the way
they cared for animals, she
said. Im from Lima origi-
nally so this really worked out
for me.
Before I came here in
2005, I worked my first year at
Celina Animal Hospital, she
added. I worked with both
large and small animals. With
large animals it can be hard on
the body, as Dr. John will tell
you. I still occasionally pitch
in here with the large animals
if he needs help or is out of the
office. I work more with pets
like cats and dogs. Every once
in a while Ill get a rabbit. Ive
even done surgery on a rat.
On a typical day, Shattuck
performs the same tasks one
could expect from any doctor
in human or animal care.
In the morning Im usu-
ally doing surgeries or doing
outpatient work. I do the typi-
cal spays, neuters and den-
tal cleaning, she said. I do
growth removals, too, and
sometimes we deal with emer-
gencies. The rest of the day
Im seeing outpatients.
Treating other peoples pets
all day and being a pet owner
herself, Shattuck knows just
how difficult it is to lose an
animal that has become part
of the family.
The most difficult part of
the job is when a client has
to say goodbye to a pet, she
said. Pets are a part of our
families and it can be really
hard to say goodbye. We just
try to do whatever we can to
make it easier on them.
Shattuck says the best
aspect of being a veterinar-
ian is getting to teach people
how to better care for their
animals.
I really love it when a
client has left and I feel as
though theyve learned some-
thing or if they leave feeling
like theyve done a good thing
by bringing their pet in here,
she said. I like teaching them
something helpful about car-
ing for their pet. I always say,
you dont know what you
dont know.
Shattuck says that in order
to be a successful veterinarian,
you need to be able to connect
with people as well.
You have to love working
with people, not just animals.
Pets dont just walk in on their
own, she said. You have to
love animals, too. This is a
career and its something you
have to be passionate about
and something you have to
love. I cant imagine doing
anything else.
Shattuck lives in Elida with
her husband Bob and their two
daughters, Taylor and Payton.
They have two cats, Smokey
and Bandit, and one dog, a
Pomeranian named Corky.

VAN WERT The two
men running to fill the com-
missioner seat being vacated by
Claire Dudgeon are Sheriff Stan
Owens and Denzil Denny
Wortman. Because they are
both Republicans, the winner
will be the next commissioner
unless an independent candi-
date files by March 5.
Owens, 58, says he has been
running a budget for the 23
years he
has been
in office
and this
is what
m o s t
qualifies
him for
the posi-
tions hes
seeking.
I m
in my
24th year
as sher-
iff, having been a deputy and
detective for 11 years before I
ran for sheriff and was elected.
As sheriff, Ive learned county
government and its operations.
Ive had 24 years of educa-
tion with that and Ive had 24
years of budget-management,
he said.
Here at the sheriffs office,
the budget is a continuous
operation. We operate four in a
third year every calendar year
to other operations because we
operate 8,760 hours in a calen-
dar year as opposed to 2,000
hours. Between our different
operations such as corrections,
road patrols and communica-
tions, my budget management
experience is from running a
24-hour operation.
In addition, the sheriff also
runs a farm.
Ive also been farming for
more than 35 years; managing
money to maintain a farming
operation and all the require-
ments there. So, between the
two, Ive had a lot of mon-
ey-managing experience, he
said.
The husband of Susan and
father of three also points to his
fiscally-conservative values.
What I bring to the table,
a l o n g
with my
experi -
ence, is
that Im
a con-
s e r v a -
tive with
conser-
v a t i v e
v a l u e s
and Im
a com-
m o n
sense guy.
I believe in looking at the
whole picture to try to be fair
to all involved, he said. Im
a strong supporter of economic
development. When things
start to pick up and get better
across the country, we need to
compete for new businesses to
get job growth going here in
Van Wert County.
Wortman, 61, is a lifelong
farmer who worked more than
30 years in manufacturing. His
goal is to bring jobs to Van
Wert County.
I will being my experience
and expertise to the position of
county commissioner, where I
will serve in the best interest
of the residents of Van Wert
County. Amongst my priori-
ties and at the top of that list is
economic development. Upon
entering office, I will become
directly involved in the process
of bringing employment to our
county, he said.
The lifelong county resi-
dent has been educated at Ohio
City Liberty High School, ITT
Institute, Rhodes State College

Glenn fever returns 50
years after historic flight
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.
John Glenn fever gripped
Cape Canaveral on Friday,
just as it did half a century
ago when America was on the
verge of launching its first man
into orbit.
Hundreds of NASA work-
ers jammed a space center
auditorium, three days before
the 50th anniversary of Glenns
historic flight, to see and hear
the first American to circle the
Earth. Then journalists got a
crack at Glenn, ever patient
at describing his momentous
flight aboard Friendship 7 and
the decades since.
The 90-year-old Glenn
was joined at both events by
Scott Carpenter, 86, the only
other survivor of the original
Mercury 7 astronauts, as the
weekend of anniversary fes-
tivities began.
Glenn said he recollects the
flight so often it seems like it
took place just a couple weeks
ago. He and Carpenter visited
their old launch pad, Complex
14; it was from the blockhouse
there that Carpenter called out
Godspeed John Glenn before
the rocket ignited.
The national attention then
was almost unbelievable,
Glenn said, adding that he and his
colleagues learned to live with the
acclaim or tried to anyway.
Glenns Friendship 7 cap-
sule circled Earth three times
on Feb. 20, 1962. Carpenter
followed aboard Aurora 7 on
May 24, 1962.
They were the third and
fourth Americans to rocket into
space. Alan Shepard and Gus
Grissom flew short suborbital
missions in 1961, the same
year the Soviet Union launched
two cosmonauts into orbit on
separate shots.
The Cold War was raging,
and America was desperate to
even the score. Glenn could
have died trying if the heat
shield on his capsule was loose
as flight controllers feared.
But the protective shield was
tight, and Glenn splashed down
safely.
Glenn, a U.S. senator for
Ohio for 24 years, returned to
orbit aboard shuttle Discovery
in 1998, becoming the worlds
oldest spaceman at age 77 and
cementing his super-galactic
status.
Flying in space at age 77,
youve given me hope. Ive got
a few good years left, and Im
ready, Kennedy Space Center
director Robert Cabana, a for-
mer shuttle commander, told
Glenn.
Glenn recalled how the
Mercury astronauts traveled
during their training to Cape
Canaveral to watch a missile
blast off. It was a night launch,
and the rocket blew apart over
their heads.
That wasnt a very good
confidence-builder for our first
trip to the cape, Glenn said.
Improvements were made, and
Glenn said he gained confi-
dence in his Mercury-Atlas
rocket, a converted nuclear
missile. Otherwise, he said
he would not have climbed
aboard.
Glenn and his wife, Annie,
who turned 92 on Friday, were
on hand Thursday evening
for the attempted liftoff of the
newest of the Atlas rockets, an
unmanned booster that NASA
contractors hope one day will
carry astronauts. Windy weath-
er forced a scrub of the Navy
satellite launch.
Scrub! Welcome to the
space program, Glenn said at
the news conference held in the
old Mercury Mission Control,
now located at the Kennedy
Space Center Visitor Complex.
Not anything brand new to
me. Lousy weather spoiled
Friday nights launch attempt
as well.

This column originally ran in March 2011.
I tweaked it a little but not a lot. How sad.
Here it is halfway through February
already.
There are still several things that went
on my to-do list earlier in the year yet to be
checked off.
As I write this, I am surrounded by paper.
Its on my left, on my right, all around me.
Arrrg!
I cleared out a file drawer last January and
had the best intentions of cleaning up some
but now all I see are bigger piles of agendas
and the like. Yikes! I better get busy.
Time just seems to slip away. I start work-
ing on something and I tell myself Ill get to
the filing when Im done and then something
else comes up and then the phone rings and
then someone asks me a question and the next
thing I know, Im jetting out the door and it
didnt get done.
Its probably going to take a Saturday or
Sunday afternoon to accomplish this task. Ill
just pencil that right in.
Ive read somewhere we should always
write down our goals for the next day and
prioritize them so the most important things
get done first. Well, my messy desk doesnt
seem to make it anywhere near the top of
that list.
Perhaps I dont think its important enough
but it really needs done. Maybe Ill have a
few minutes after I get this column done to
tuck a few things away in a file. Then again,
probably not.
Lets check that list for Monday. Hmmm. I
dont believe I see filing on there at all. How
odd. It needs done. Why isnt it on the list?
Could be that it is written in disappearing
ink.
Things seem to go that way at home, too.
For example: I have a drawer at home with
old paid bills, letters, cards, etc., that I have
been meaning to clean out so it can be used
for something else. It needs done and I would
benefit from the space. Still, it never shows
up on a list. I just keep stuffing in more and
more until I can hear pieces fluttering down
the back of the dresser when the drawer is
opened and closed.
There was a sign on my mothers desk at
the Marathon station and subsequently at the
garage on Pierce Street. It read, Dont touch
my mess! I know where everything is.
For the most part, the same is true of my
desk at work. I can usually lay my hands on
something in pretty short order. Sometimes,
not so much.
Hey. Where did that list go? Uh oh. I think
I wrote it on disappearing paper!

Commish
(Continued from page 1)
College and Bluffton College.
He majored in business admin-
istration.
He worked at Chrisler
Amlex/GKN Sinster Metals
for as long as the factory
remained in business.
Over my 31 years at the
company, I enjoyed positions
of increased responsibility
until the company closed in
2000. Throughout my working
career, I completed my educa-
tion and pursued continuing
studies in the interest of self-
improvement, he said.
Wortman is a licensed pilot
and volunteers at the airport.
He and his wife, Kaulene,
have been married for 42 years
and raised two children who
gave them three grandkids. If
elected, he wants to promote
the industrial complex.
We have that 1,600-acre
megasite; I want to promote
that. I am concerned abut the
future of our youth. Therefore,
I will work within the educa-
tional system in developing
technical programs for indus-
tries interested in expand-
ing or locating in Van Wert
County, he said.
Wortman says his business
experience as a farmer is one
of his biggest qualifiers.
Operating my own busi-
ness has expanded my skills
in the management of budgets
and living within my means.
I will bring these skills to
the commissioners position
when dealing with the county
budgets and spending your
hard-earned tax dollars. I will
pursue every opportunity to
reduce the countys operating
expenditures without jeopar-
dizing the standard of living
we have come to enjoy, he
said.
While the economy is
showing improving right now,
we must be forward-thinking
by planning for a brighter
future. I can do that and thats
why I am prepared to meet
these challenges. Therefore, I
am your candidate of choice.
ZiMMerMAn, Mary
Anne, 65, of Spencerville,

Saturday at Thomas E. Bayliff

The sixth annual meeting of the Ottoville Mutual
Telephone Company, was held recently at the parish hall in
Ottoville with Basil Alt, president, in chage. A new office

tant leader. Troop 307 is headed by Mrs. Nelson, who was
assisted by Mrs. William Prine.
75 Years Ago 1937
Members of the Methodist Church and invited guests had
a most enjoyable time Wednesday night when they attended
one of a series of national church fellowship dinners which
was held at the church. It was announced that the hymn, If
for a Thousand Tongues, by Charles Wesley, received the
most number of votes in the world-wide song contest. The
hymn was composed by Charles Wesley in 1739 in com-
memoration of the first anniversary of his conversion.
Approximately 850 farmers, one of the largest crowds
ever to witness an International Harvester Company field
day in Delphos, was in attendance Thursday at the affair
staged by Geo. Wannemacher and Company of Delphos.
Educational motion pictures were produced, showing the lat-
est Farmall tractors and quick attachment, a patented feature
of the International Harvester Company.
Delphos was well represented at a meeting of Scout
leaders which was held at the Marsh Foundation School, near
Van Wert, Wednesday evening. Present at the meeting from
Delphos were O. J. Birkmeier, James Mueller, James Hotz,
Robert Kindley and A. J. Laudick.
A very lovely but heart-
rending hymn festival high-
lighted a trio of final religious
services conducted in the
75-year-old Trinity Methodist
Church here, which is giving
way to a new $100,000 edi-
fice this year.
In addition to the hymn
festival held at the regular
morning service at 10:30 a.m.
Sunday, there were services
of the Sacrament of Holy
Communion and Baptism
conducted in the afternoon
from 2 to 4:30 p.m.
The morning service
included congregational sing-
ing, anthems by the three
choirs, adult high school and
junior, a total of 60 voices,
all under the direction of Mrs.
Kenneth Woodring. The high
school choir had 28 voices,
the junior group had 26 voic-
es and the adult choir a dozen
voices.
Soloists for the service
included Miss Leah Harpster,
Mrs. Frank Linder, Mrs. E.E.
Willieke and Ronnie Patton.
A mixed quartet also sang
and included Leah Harpster,
Marilyn Burgess, Guy Tilton
and Dale Van Meter.
The need for an edifice
with a larger seating capacity
was again felt as the audi-
torium of the church was
filled to near overflowing
with some 300 members and
friends participating in this
service. Razing of the church
is expected to begin this week
with the removal of the pews
set for Thursday afternoon
and volunteers are sought for
this and the removal of furni-
ture and fixtures.
Tearing down the 65-year-
old parish house, formerly the
parsonage, got underway last
Tuesday and is expected to be
completed this week.
Church School and Church
will be held next Sunday and
then until the new edifice is
erected in the auditorium of
the Franklin School Building.
The hours of the services will
continue the same with the
Church School set for 9:30
a.m. and the Worship service
at 10:30 a.m.
The final complete con-
struction plans are now in
the hands of several general
contractors and they are pre-
paring bids on the cost of
construction of the church.
No date has been set, but
it is believed that an early
date in April will be set as the
occasion when ground will be
broken for the launching of
the new church construction.
The church office and pas-
tors study is located at 311
1/2 North Main street, above
Scotts Grocery.

Delphos and Kenton
Men Buy Phelan
Hotel
A prominent Delphos busi-
nessman and a Kenton, Ohio,
optometrist became the new
owners of the Phelan Hotel
building this week when they
purchased the controlling
stock of the Wolf Corp., own-
ers of the hostelry.
The two men, brothers-
in-law, are Morris Lehmann,
owner and operator of the
Lehmanns Store at 246 North
Main street, and Dr. Edwin G.
Holdgreve of Kenton and for-
merly of this city, purchased
the 200 shares of the Wolf
Corporation stock from Mrs.
Janet Rosen and Mrs. Eugenia
Preto, who have been oper-
ating the hotel since May,
1951. The Wolf Corporation
secured the hotel building in
1947.
Mr. Lehmann and Dr.
Holdgreve will become own-
ers of the hotel corporation on
March 1st.
The 48-room hotel build-
ing was erected 75 years ago
by J.T. McShane and then
about 40 years ago the addi-
tion to the south was erected
with the first floor quarters
being planned for use as
the head U.S. Post Office.
The rooms occupied by the
post office until the present
federal owned building was
erected are now tenanted
by the Ohio State Liquor
Department retail store and
Donnas Beauty Shop, owned
by Donna Schmelzer.
The old dining room of the
hotel is the home of Kaufmans
Studio, operated by Oliver
Lungren. Other ground floor
business rooms in the build-
ing are occupied by the Star
Cafe, Point Restaurant and
Esthers Beauty Shop. The
Sterling barbershop is located
in the basement.
Mrs. Preto and Mrs. Rosen
will assist with the operation
during the next month. There
is to be no changes made in
the operation of the hotel or
building.

Former Delphos Man
Signs Contract With
Gary Moore
The firing of six singers
and a trio of writers by Arthur
Godfrey, a week ago, in a bid
to regain a top spot on the
air drew particular interest, as
one of the writers was Chuck
Horner, a former Delphos
young man.
Horner, better known
here as Charles Horine, is a
son of Mr. and Mrs. George
Horine of 415 North Maple
street. Chuck had been a writ-
er for the Godfrey radio and
TV shows for a number of
years.
He has now taken a posi-
tion as a writer for the Gary
Moore TV shows.
The April 15 Godfrey
house cleaning cost the jobs
of the Mariners, a mixed
Negro and white male quartet
whom Godfrey swore by.

Century Club Fire
Estimated at About $40,000
An early morning fire
destroyed the Century Club, a
night club, located at the east
edge of Delphos on Elida road
today. The total loss in build-
ing and contents was estimat-
ed at $35,000 to 440,000.
The fire apparently start-
ed sometime between 3:30
a.m. and 6 a.m. Saturday as it
was discovered shortly after
6 oclock and the night club
operators reported they left
the establishment about 3:30
a.m.
The Century Club was
operated by Robert Arnoldi,
of 328 West Second street,
Robert Dienstberger of 514
South Cass street and W.
Alfred Turner of 320 North
Jefferson street.
The building was owned
by Gilbert Brandehoff of
312 East Second street, who
erected the one-story frame
structure in 1938.
The present operators pur-
chased the cafe last July and
they immediately enlarged the
structure with an 18 by 10 foot
addition to the 70 by 30 foot
original building. At the same
time they completely remod-
eled the interior of the cafe.
The 7-month old addition
increased the seating capacity
to about 250 persons.
The blaze was report-
ed almost simultaneously
by two local men. Romus
Brandehoff, who lives just
west of the cafe, called the
fire department at about 6:10
a.m. and at about the same
time Ervin Hesseling stopped
at the police station to report
the fire.
Brandehoff reported that
he was awakened by electrical
wiring in his home making a
peculiar noise and on inves-
tigating, discovered smoke
pouring from the Century
Club.
Cause of the fire is unde-
termined but believed to have
started in the southwest cor-
ner of the structure, the loca-
tion of the kitchen.
The contents loss included
the musical instruments of
the Hayden Snyder orchestra,
which has been playing at the
night club.
A new $1500 juke box
owned by Wm. Hullinger of
this city was also included in
the loss.
Robert Dienstberger
reported that the contents are
covered by insurance as did
Mr. Brandehoff on the build-
ing.

Paws to Consider
Dog bless America
There is nothing more
honorable than serving your
country. Men and women of
our armed services risk their
lives daily to defend the free-
doms and securitys that we
enjoy today. As a military
wife of eight years, I know
all too well the
sacrifices and
the rewards that
service brings.
Support from
family, friends
and even strang-
ers has been tre-
mendous and so
greatly appreci-
ated.
In this article,
Id like to do my
part by honor-
ing another type
of hero, one of
the four-legged
kind. They are
known as Military
Working Dogs or War Dogs,
and are soldiers in every
way, just as their human
counterparts. With an esti-
mated 2,300 working dogs
in service today, these dogs
are deployed worldwide to
support the war on terror.
The U.S. military first
looked at bringing on war
dogs after the attack on Pearl
Harbor. During World War
II, a surge of 10,000 war dogs
were employed as sentries.
Their function was to detect
and attack, on command, all
people except the handler
and others who helped care
for them. Natural aggressive-
ness and an almost total dis-
trust of humans were greatly
encouraged. However, these
characteristics limited the
number of ways they could
be used.
Over time, war dogs were
utilized as patrol dogs and
explosive and drug detec-
tors. With an acute smell
of five to 10 times stron-
ger than a humans, work-
ing dogs are able to detect
minute traces of explosives,
drugs and enemy soldiers and
alert their handlers to their
presence. Cairo, a Belgian
Malinois deployed with the
Navy Seal team that termi-
nated Osama Bin Laden, is
just one example of how war
dogs are used to increase our
military capability.
Training for military dogs
and handlers takes place at
the 341st Training Squadron
located at the Lackland Air
Force Base in Texas. The
dogs undergo a 120 day
program of basic obedience
training as well as more
advanced training, such as
how to attack and how to
sniff for specific substances.
Once the dogs
receive their
initial training,
members of the
37th Security
Forces teach the
dogs and their
trainers to work
as a team.
Prior to
entrance in the
program, pro-
spective dogs
undergo exten-
sive tempera-
ment and physi-
cal evaluation.
Dogs acquired
for training
must be between 12 and 36
months of age, at least 22
inches high at the shoul-
ders and their weight must
be proportional to their
body frame. Currently, the
German Shepherd, Dutch
Shepherd and the Belgian
Malinois have been proven
to be the best choices for
patrol and detection work.
However, other breeds such
as the Golden Retriever and
Labrador Retriever are used
as Specialized Search Dogs,
highly trained in detecting
arms, explosives and ammu-
nition used in Improvised
Explosive Devices.
As war dogs become
increasingly important to
the military mission, work
is underway to protect them
from enemy threats. They
are outfitted with protective
eye wear, body armor, gas
masks and even vests that
allow them to jump from
helicopters. The Walter
Reed Institute of Research is
studying the use of pills that
can help military working
dogs survive a nerve-agent
attack.
Military working dogs
receive state of the art medi-
cal care. Army veterinar-
ians posted all around the
world help keep them fit for
duty and treat any illnesses
or injuries. The Lackland
Air Base also has a fully
equipped veterinary hospi-
tal staffed with 14 veteri-
narians and 25 registered
veterinary technicians and
Army animal care special-
ists. Telemedicine achieved
through video is also able
to provide expert medical
consultation for war dogs in
the field.
Giving these hero hounds
the recognition they deserve
is a relatively new phenom-
enon. During the Vietnam
War, military working dogs
were classified as sur-
plus equipment and left
behind as the human sol-
diers returned home. With
President Clintons signing
of the Robby Law in 2000
allowing military dogs to be
adopted, these loyal pooches
are not only getting a heros
welcome home, theyre also
finding a forever home after
retirement.
If you would like to give
back to these courageous
canines, visit the web site
for the United States War
Dogs Association. They are
accepting care package dona-
tions for the military work-
ing dogs, as well as for the
brave men and women serv-
ing around the world. The
web site also accepts money
donations in support of the
U.S. War Dog Memorial.
Lastly, if you would con-
sider being a forever home
for a deserving veteran, visit
the Military Working Dog
Adoptions web site for more
information.
Thank you to all the men,
women and canine soldiers
who have served and are
currently serving to protect
our freedom.
From our family to yours

FORT JENNINGS It was
Senior night at Fort Jennings with
the Lady Musketeers hosting the
Miller City Lady Wildcats in the final
regular-season and Putnam County
League game for both schools.
The game was decided in the
second quarter with the Wildcats out-
scoring the Musketeers 25-6 to go
on to a decisive 51-36 win over the
hosts.
Seniors Kelsey Von Lehmden
and Morgan Schroeder played their
last home game for the Musketeers
at The Fort.
Coach Matt Myerholtz could
only praise what these two young
ladies have meant to the program:
Morgan and Kelsey did a fantastic
job for us this year. Morgan has been
a floor leader with a great attitude and
understanding of the game for us at
the guard position. Its great to watch
her play and adjust her game to what
is needed. Kelsey always draws the
assignment against the tallest girls
that we play night after night. She
doesnt back down and goes right at
them and plays hard. Both of those
girls give me the attitude you need
from your senior leadership and show
the underclassmen coming through
next how its done.
The Wildcats started out the game
with the lead and never looked back
as they ended the first quarter with a
12-7 advantage. However, the sec-
ond quarter was when the Wildcats
were able to start taking advantage
of their size underneath, which was
complemented with excellent long-
range shooting from beyond the arc
by 5-2 senior Jessica Nienberg. Of
the Wildcats 25 points, 16 came from
inside the paint as 5-9 junior Melissa
Michel led the scoring barrage with
13 points in the quarter. As both
teams headed to the locker room, the
Musketeers found themselves down
37-13 on the scoreboard.
Myerholtz knew there were some
big problems his team was going to
face from the Wildcats: We knew
coming in that Miller City caused
a lot of matchup problems for us.
Theyve got two guards that are as
quick as ours and size underneath that
we just cant compete with. Some
nights youre able to neutralize the
size disadvantage but when Miller
City shoots as well from the outside
as they did tonight, it really opens the
middle even more. They hurt us hard
the second quarter with their inside/
outside game.
The second half, the Musketeers
outscored the Wildcats 23-14 but the
hole the second quarter put on the
team to come back was just too much
to ask as the Wildcats came away
with the win.
One person that wasnt happy
to see halftime was Wildcats head
coach Chris Rump: When youre
shooting good, boy everything looks
great out there. Our defense played
well the first half, helping us espe-
cially in the second quarter extend
our lead. We just got on a roll and
everything was clicking and fall-
ing but then halftime rolled around.
When youre playing that good and
have built a big lead, its hard to go
down in the locker room and come
out with that same intensity that you
entered with.
The victorious Lady Wildcats
(15-5, 4-3 PCL) were led in scoring
by Melissa Michel with 17 points, fol-
lowed closely by teammates Jessica
Nienberg and Jessica Leis with 16
and 10 points, respectively. The
Wildcats connected on 47 percent
(22-of-47) from the field, brought
down 23 rebounds and committed 19
turnovers for the contest.
The Lady Musketeers (7-13, 2-5
PCL) were led by Von Lehmden
in her final home game with 18
points. The Musketeers were 15-of-
53 (28%) from the field, hauled down
25 rebounds and committed 15 turn-
overs.
Both teams will start their second
season next week with the Musketeers
traveling to Bluffton (vs. Columbus
Grove) and the Wildcats going to
Ottawa-Glandorf for sectional play.
The JV contest was won by the
Musketeers 28-24.

Second quarter seals Miller City
win over Lady Musketeers
By Jim Cox
Times Bulletin

MIDDLE POINT -
Spencerville won only one
quarter in Friday nights don-
nybrook at Lincolnview but
that was the fourth, and it was
enough.
The Bearcats outpointed the
Lancers 23-11 in those eight
minutes to escape with a 62-54
win.
Spencerville is
now 12-6 overall and
5-3 in the Northwest
Conference. The
Lancers are 9-10 and
4-4.
Lincolnview led
for most of the game and was
still holding on to a 47-44
edge with 5:11 remaining. The
Bearcats stellar shooter, Eli
Bowers, split a pair at the line,
missing the second, but a hus-
tling Derek Goecke snared the
rebound and, while falling out
of bounds, hit Dominic Corso
for an easy layup to tie it at 47.
At that point, it became pretty
much a free-throw contest, with
the Bearcats hitting theirs and
the Lancers not hitting theirs.
Clayton Longstreth was
fouled on a catch and hit 1-of-
2 to get the lead back, 48-47
at 4:53. Spencervilles Dan
Binkley was also fouled while
catching a pass (the 4th foul
on the Lancers high-scoring
bomber, Sloan Whitaker) and
he knocked down both to put the
Bearcats up 49-48. Lincolnview
misfired but the Lancers Nick
Leeth picked off a Spencerville
pass and fed Longstreth for a
layup -- 50-49, Lincolnview, at
3:50. That would be the home
teams last lead, however.
Bowers escaped for a
layup to put the visitors up
by one. The Bearcats then
pilfered the ball in the back-
court and Binkley nailed a 3
from the right wing -- 54-50,
Spencerville, at 3:25. Whitaker,
whose shots were going in and
out all night, then had both free
throws bounce around and out.
A Spencerville turnover got
sophomore Connor McCleery
two pressure-packed free
throws and he hit both --
54-52, Cats, with 2:51
on the clock. Goecke hit
Corso for another layup
to up the margin to four.
McCleery missed two
free throws and Binkley hit
both of his -- 58-52 at 1:12.
Lancer Kade Carey swiped
a pass in the backcourt and
hit the layup to give Lancer
fans some hope but that was
short-lived. Bowers hit two free
throws and, after two missed
Lancer shots, Corso sealed it
with two more freebies with 36
ticks remaining.
Lincolnview started the
game in fine fashion with an
8-1 run. Longstreth nailed
a 15-foot baseliner (Kyle
Williams assist) and Whitaker
hit nothing but net on two long-
rangers. After Goeckes slash-
ing layup cut it to 8-3, Williams
alleyed and Longstreth ooped
-- 10-3, Lincolnview at 3:59.
The Bearcats clawed their way
back to a 12-12 tie on a Ben
Bowers trey but Leeths put-
back got the Lancers a 14-12
first quarter lead.
Spencerville tied it twice
(at 20 and 22) in the second
period but couldnt get ahead.
That quarter ended on another
Williams-to-Longstreth alley-
oop -- 29-25, Lincolnview, at
the half.
The Cats started the third
quarter with a 7-0 run to get their
first lead. Coleman McCormick
started it with a putback of his
own miss, then was fouled on
another putback and split the
free throws. Goecke muscled
inside for consecutive layups
and it was 32-29, Spencerville,
at 4:32. That lead
didnt last as the
Lancers got three
old-style 3-point
plays (Whitaker,
Williams, Carey)
and led 38-34. It was
43-39 after three.
Goecke started the fourth
period by squirming inside for
a layup, then got another easy
one on an Eli Bowers assist
to tie it at 43. Back came the
Lancers, though, getting buck-
ets by Williams and Longstreth,
sandwiched around a Corso free
throw, to lead 47-44, setting the
stage for the finish.
It was exactly what I
expected it to be, said Bearcat
coach Kevin Sensabaugh. I
knew Lincolnview was playing
really well during this stretch
of the season. I knew they were
a good home team. I knew that
theyd shoot it well. I knew that
theyd come out and play hard
but I was proud of the way our
guys battled back. We didnt
play very well. It was kind of
muddy at times but you have to
win those games if you want to
be good; we did that.
The field-goal shooting
numbers for both teams were
good -- Spencerville hitting 50
percent (22/44), Lincolnview
47 percent (22/47). The free-
throw line was the difference,
though; the Bearcats were
uncharacteristically good (57&
as a team), hitting 14-of-19
(74&). The Lancers hit only
7-of-12 (58&). The impressive
Lincolnview defense forced 19
Spencerville turnovers, while
the Lancers had only 13 mis-
cues. The Bearcats dominated
the boards 31-16.
Lancer coach Rob Welch
was about as happy as a coach
can be after a close loss: I
think they (Spencerville) are
a really good team. I was
really worried going into this
game that wed get blown out.
I still feel good, how
we played. Our inten-
sity was great. We had
those minor mistakes
that cost us the game.
When you play a good
team like Spencerville,
you cant have those, but were
still playing very well.
Eli Bowers and Goecke
scored 21 and 16 for
Spencerville. Longstreth,
Carey, Williams and Whitaker
had 19, 11, nine and nine for
Lincolnview.
Spencerville won the jayvee
game 48-44 to run its record
to 9-9. Donovan Maier, Evan
Crites and Tanner Koverman
led Bearcat scoring with 17,
nine and eight. Justis Dowdy
and Logan Miller had 14 and
13 for Lincolnview (10-9).

DELPHOS - The Jefferson
Wildcats boys basketball team was
looking to pick up their second win
of the 2011-12 season their first
in the Northwest Conference
Friday night for their last home
game of the season.
Jefferson did exactly that,
breezing by the Pirates picking
up the 66-45 victory and snap a
13-game loss string.
The Jeffcats improved to 2-16
overall and 1-7 in the NWC, while
Bluffton fell to 3-16 and 2-6 in the
league.
The home team had four play-
ers in double digits, including both
seniors: Nick Dunlap, who erupted
to lead all scorers with 28 points,
and Shayn Klinger with 11 points.
Sophomore Ross Thompson
finished with 12 points and 11
rebounds, while junior Zach Ricker
added 10 points.
I was really happy to see Nick
have a good game and Shayn since
they have been both role players
for these past couple of years,
Jefferson Marc Smith said. It was
nice to see them get a win playing
their last home game.
Dunlap was explosive in the
first quarter, scoring 10 of the 14
points for the Wildcats, as he led
his team to a 14-10 edge after the
first eight minutes of action.
Jefferson quickly took a
10-point lead with a couple of
baskets from Klinger and Ricker
to start the second quarter. With a
Klinger 3-pointer, Jefferson took a
33-20 lead at the break.
The Wildcats shot 4-of-8 from
long range in the first half.
Bluffton was not ready to hand
Jefferson the win so quickly as
R.J. Stratton came out and scored
six straight points for the Pirates
offense and cut its deficit to 35-26
at the start of the third quarter.
Jefferson then went on and shot
6-of-9 from the floor in the third
quarter with buckets from Dunlap
and Thompson, extending their
margin to 51-30 at the end of 24
minutes.
With a triple from Dunlap
and a couple of quick baskets
from Thompson and Ricker, the
Jeffcats took a commanding 60-38
lead with less than three minutes
remaining and went on to pick up
the victory for the seniors in their
last home game.
Our kids really needed this
win; they have been battling all
year and a lot of things have been
going against us lately, Smith
added. It just shows the effort
tonight that they havent given up
and still come and play hard.
Bluffton and Jefferson will
match up again in the first game of
sectionals at Wapakoneta.
Our guys got discouraged
from the beginning with things
that were out of our control and
it affected the way we acted and
the way we played, Bluffton
coach Todd Boblitt said. Early in
the game, our level of frustration
was beyond where it should have
been.
R.J. Stratton had a team-high
20 points and nine rebounds for the
Bluffton offense.
The Pirates won the junior var-
sity contest 33-20.

Goby or not a Goby? That
is the question!
By Matthew Wolfe
Imagine this: you are fishing
in one of Ohios inland streams
for smallmouth bass. After a suc-
cessful morning and a nice shore
lunch, you start the afternoon
fishing next to a babbling riffle.
After a few casts, you feel a small
tug on your line. Reeling it in, you
see a small brown fish on the end
of your line... thats not a smal-
lie... what is it?......oh no, it cant
be.its a round goby! This
non-native species has changed
the landscape on Lake Erie and
now it is in your favorite stream.
Surely, your smallmouth stream
is doomed since gobies attack
smallmouth nests.
Or is it? Are you sure its a
round goby?
The round goby (Neogobius
melanostomus) is probably one
of the most disliked species in
Ohio. This species is not native
to Ohio--it was transplanted to
the area from European waters
about 20 years ago. Since then,
this tiny fish has wreaked havoc
on Lake Erie. Their ferocious
feeding habits have changed the
way the Ohio Division of Wildlife
manages black bass on Lake
Erie. Bass can no longer leave
their nests since the gobies read-
ily feed on the eggs. Their pres-
ence has also caused the disap-
pearance of many native darters.
But despite this notoriety, the
round goby is still commonly mis-
identified across Ohio.
Gobies are normally found
in the Lake Erie drainage but
reports come in from anglers who
find them all around Ohio. What
anglers are probably seeing is
another stream fish that closely
resembles gobies--the sculpin.
There are several species of
sculpin in Ohio and each can
easily be mistaken for a goby.
They look the same and live
in similar places. But sculpins
are actually a good indicator of
good stream health since they
cannot live in polluted environ-
ments. So how can you tell the
difference between the infamous
round goby and the well-received
sculpins?
To answer this question, all
you have to do is look at the
belly of the fish. Both gobies and
sculpins have pelvic
fins on their bellies to
help them attach to
rocks on the bottom of
streams. Gobies have
a single fused pelvic
fin that almost looks
like a big suction cup.
Sculpin, on the other
hand, have two dis-
tinct pelvic fins. There
are several species of sculpin in
Ohio, including the spoonhead
sculpin (Cottus ricei) and the
mottled sculpin (Cottus bairdii),
but all sculpins have the two dis-
tinct pelvic fins.
Now that you know the dif-
ference between these com-
monly misidentified species, it is
even more important that gobies
remain where they are. Currently,
round gobies are known to be in
all of the Great Lakes including
Lake Erie and they are assumed
to be in the lower reaches of
streams that flow into Erie.
Round gobies are considered
an aquatic invasive species by
the Ohio DOW. It is unlawful for
individuals to possess, import or
sell live individuals but they can
be possessed by researchers,
zoos, public aquariums and pub-
lic displays after obtaining written
authorization from the DOW. If
you boat on a body of water
with gobies, make sure you drain
your livewell, toss out your bait
and see if there are any aquatic
hitchhikers. Taking these steps
will ensure gobies do not expand
their distribution!

aquatic invasive species on our

office.

Wildlife - The Good, the
Bad and the Ugly is 2012
Conference Theme
COLUMBUS Overlooked
wildlife will be the focus of the
2012 Ohio Wildlife Diversity
Conference, which is scheduled
for March 7 at the Aladdin Shrine
Center in Columbus. The confer-
ence, titled The Good, the Bad
and the Ugly, is sponsored by
the ODNR, Division of Wildlife,
and is open to the public.
We hope many people are
able to attend this conference to
learn more about the interesting
wildlife we have in Ohio, said
Director Jim Zehringer, director
of ODNR.
The Wildlife Diversity
Conference has steadily grown in
popularity. The first conference,
held in 1985, drew 40 people.
Last year, 975 people attended
the day-long gathering.
The keynote speaker this
year, Cindy Hale of the University
of Minnesota, will discuss earth-
worms and their impact to the
environment in her presentation,
Dances with Worms: The Great
Lakes Worm Watch.
Other conference topics
include discussions of freshwater
mussel restoration, aquatic inva-
sive species, a Lake Erie pelagic
bird survey, terrestrial crayfish,
wildlife orphans, wetland restora-
tion, as well as beavers, porcu-
pines and fishers in Ohio.
The third Ohio Wildlife Legacy
Stamp, which features the spotted
salamander, will be available to
conference attendees. Proceeds
from the sale of the stamp will
be used to support: endangered
and threatened native species;
habitat restoration, land purchas-
es and conservation easements;
and educational products for stu-
dents and wildlife enthusiasts.
Anyone who pre-registers
online for the conference may
purchase this collectable stamp
at a discounted price of $12,
which is a 20-percent savings.
Details about the Ohio Wildlife
Legacy Stamp are available at

Wildlife Council hears pro-
posals for 2012-13 deer hunt-
ing seasons
Changes would allow hunters
until noon the following day to
check in their deer
COLUMBUS Seven west-
central Ohio counties are pro-
posed to move from deer Zone
A to Zone B, according to the
ODNR, Division of Wildlife.
Auglaize, Darke, Mercer,
Miami, Montgomery, Preble and
Shelby counties would make
the transition from deer Zone A
to deer Zone B. Also, Madison
County, currently in Zone B,
would move to Zone A.
Also proposed, antlerless
deer permits could no longer be
used the first week of deer gun
season in Zone C. The antler-
less permits would be valid until
Nov. 25 in deer Zones A, B and
C. This is a return to regulations
adopted in 2007.
Deer hunters would have
until noon the following day to
complete the automated game-
check process. The only excep-
tion would be on the last day
of any season when automated
game check must be completed
by 11:30 p.m.
A hunter may take only one
buck in Ohio, regardless of zone,
hunting method or season.
Either a $15 antlerless deer
permit or $24 either-sex deer per-
mit and a valid hunting license are
required to hunt deer in Ohio.
Proposed Bag Limits: Deer
bag limits are Zone specific by
permit type. A hunter may take
one deer from Zone A, two deer
from Zone B and three deer from
Zone C during the entire 2012-
2013 season using the either-sex
deer permit - only one antlered
deer may be taken regardless
of Zone.
Additionally, a hunter may
take one antlerless deer from
Zone A, two antlerless deer from
Zone B and three antlerless deer
from Zone C during the archery
season from Sept. 29 to Nov. 25
using the antlerless deer permit.
Those hunting in urban units
and at DOW-authorized con-
trolled hunts can use the antler-
less deer permits during all deer
hunting seasons. These hunters
would again have a 6-deer bag
limit and those deer would not
count against the hunters zone
bag limit.
Proposed Seasons and
Dates for 2012-13: Archery sea-
son Sept. 29 through Feb.
3, 2013; Special area muzzle-
loader hunts Oct. 15-20; Youth
deer-gun season Nov. 17-18;

FORT RECOVERY St.
Johns coach Aaron Elwer had
two major concerns with Fort
Recovery Friday night: how to
handle 6-5 junior Wade Gelhaus
and how to handle the basket-
ball against the staunch Indian
defense.
Those two became nightmares
for his Blue Jays as
Gelhaus went off for 27
markers and the Blue
Jays committed 17 huge
turnovers in a 53-39
loss before a packed
and energized house at
FortSite Fieldhouse in
Fort Recovery.
Our scouting report
was to give him the
perimeter shot; he was
much more dangerous
driving to the basket.
Unfortunately, he went against
that and hit his first couple of shots
from the perimeter, Elwer noted.
We even went to a triangle-and-2
to try and contain him and the
Kahligs (Jared and Elijah); we did
a pretty good job on the other two
but Gelhaus is just an excellent
player. Give him credit for making
those shots.
The victory clinched at least a
MAC title tie for the fifth-ranked
(Division IV) Tribe (16-2, 7-1
MAC) as Versailles also won over
New Knoxville. The Jays fell a
game behind the Tribe (11-7, 6-2
MAC) and saw their 5-game win-
ning streak snapped.
When you consider that four
of our top eight players are sopho-
mores, at least tying for the MAC
is a great feat. A lot of those guys
gained experience as freshmen
and that has helped build great
team chemistry, Recovery coach
Brian Patch noted. Defensively,
we have banked on that all season.
To beat a team like St. Johns and
other good teams, you really have
to play well there; we did a nice
job of staying on the perimeter
and not giving them a lot of easy
outside shots.
Gelhaus, a University of
Findlay verbal, established that
this was going to be his night in the
first period. He canned 14 of the
Tribes 17 points in the first period
as the Jays simply had no one to
contain him early this night, hit-
ting 6-of-10 shots in the
opening canto. The Jays
also struggled against
the 1-2-2 3/4-court pres-
sure and matchup/man
mix that the Indians
employed, turning it over
five times in the period to
only one for the hosts (5
for the game). They man-
aged 4-of-10 shooting
(13-of-36 for the night,
5-of-14 from 3-land, for
36.1%) versus 7-of-15 for
the Tribe (19-of-47 total, 5-of-
18 downtown, for 40.4%). When
Gelhaus hit a bomb from the right
wing at the 35-second mark, the
Tribe held a 17-8 edge but St.
Johns junior Curtis Geise (10
markers) tipped in his own miss
with 17 seconds showing to get
them within 17-10.
The Jays managed, especially
senior Tanner Calvelage, managed
to get more of a handle on Gelhaus
the second canto, holding him to
four points. However, senior Jared
Kahlig picked up the slack scoring
seven of his 11 overall counters in
the period. The closest the Jays
could get thanks to six mis-
cues was 21-17 on a deuce by
junior Ryan Buescher (11 mark-
ers, 9 boards) at 3:52. The Tribe
ran off a 9-2 spurt, culminated by
a 18-foot fallaway jumper from
the right wing by Gelhaus with
3.1 ticks on the board, for a 30-19
halftime edge.
The Indians defense contin-
ued to bother the Jays, though the
Blue and Gold handled the ball
better (2 errors). They also slowed
down the Tribe offense, though
Gelhaus had six more points. They
did get within 35-30 on a 3-ball
by junior Andrew Metzger at 3:45
but then the offense went scoreless
the rest of the period. In that span,
Fort Recovery scored six, includ-
ing a spin-to-the-rim by Gelhaus
with 51.6 ticks showing, for a
41-30 spread.
That was too much of
a hole to dig out of for the
Jays this night. The clos-
est they could get was
43-35 on a bomb from
the left wing by senior
sharpshooter Alex Clark
(4 treys for 12 points)
at 4:36.
St. Johns finished
8-of-10 at the stripe
(80%); grabbed 30 car-
oms (9 offensive) as
Calvelage added four; and 12
fouls. They host Bath 6 p.m.
tonight.
Their length and athleti-
cism really bothered us in that
press especially. We never got
into a rhythm offensively running
our sets, either, Elwer added.
Theres never a good turn-
over but a few too many tonight
hurt us; they allowed them to get
some easier looks at the basket.
Between that and giving up a few
too many offensive boards, that
wasnt good enough against this
team. We defended well enough
overall to compete.
Fort Recovery compiled 10-of-
14 freebies (71.4%); 25 rebounds
(10 offensive) as Gelhaus and
Jason Pottkotter grabbed seven
each; and nine fouls. They visit
Mississinawa Valley tonight.
We know what Wade can do;
hes that type of special player,
Patch added. He had some great
looks but also made some tough
shots when he was well-defend-
ed.

Knights use team effort to
down Columbus Grove
CONVOY - The Crestview
Knight basketball team played
host to the 13-3 Columbus
Grove Bulldogs Friday night
at Ray Etzler Gymnasium. The
Knights used a team effort,
both on the offensive side and
defensive side of the ball, to
defeat the Bulldogs 55-43.
Neither team could get
much headway, with Crestview
leading 20-18 going into half-
time.
The third period was the
key, with the hosts grabbing
a 35-26 lead at the end of the
span.
Crestview kept in the lead
in the final quarter and even
extended it to as much as 15
points. In the last two minutes
of the game, the Knights went
6-of-8 from the free-throw line
to hold off the Bulldogs.
The Bulldogs shot 16-of-42
(38 percent) from the field.
Jordan Travis led Grove and
all scorers for the game with
21 points. Collin Grothaus fol-
lowed with eight and Connor
Kohls had seven. With the
loss, Columbus Grove falls to
14-4 overall and 6-2 in the
Northwest Conference. Grove
visits Miller City tonight.
Best got a balanced scoring
effort from his players. Nick
Adam led Crestview with 16
points. Damian Helm added
15 and Dallis Gibson also
reached double digits with
10. The Knights shot a solid
18-41 (43%) from the field.
The win improves the Knights
to 14-5 overall and 5-3 in
the NWC. The Knights will
have Saturday night off and
will play their next game next
Friday at Ada.

Americans from various
walks of life can choose
to serve their country in
myriad ways. Not only are
there four branches to con-
sider one also has the
Coast Guard and National
Guards to choose from, as
well as the reserves.
Spencerville native Sarah
Pohlman, 35, went to West
Virginia State University
on a basketball scholar-
ship after high school but
didnt stay. She came home
to attend the police acad-
emy and went to work after
graduation.
I went to work in
Shawnee Township for 3
1/2 years as an officer and
while I was there, a friend
of mine joined the Army
National Guard. He asked
me if I had ever thought
of joining and I said well,
not really. He told me they
had stuff where they went
to car wrecks and things. I
thought it would be good to
have some experience in the
medical field, so I talked to
a recruiter and went in as a
combat medic, she said.
Pohlman enlisted in 1999
and says the guards gave
her a way to serve her coun-
try and follow her family
tradition.
The only medical train-
ing I had at that point was
what they gave us at the
academy as a first-respond-
er. It was something I really
wanted to do because both
my grandfathers were in
during war and my father
served from 1962-1966. I
thought the National Guard
would be a great way to
serve my country, she
said.
I went to Fort Leonard
Wood, Missouri for basic
training and Fort Sam
Houston in San Antonio
for my AIT school; that
was five months. Being
from Spencerville, it was
really something to live
in a city of seven million
people and to experience
the culture there. Plus, I had
aunts and uncles who lived
there; so, I had things to
do and places to go instead
of staying on base, she
said. When I was done
there, they assigned me to
the 237th Charlie Company
in Columbus. We supported
an artillery unit there and
trained with helicopters. We
helped administer vaccines
and did emergency evacua-
tions where we would land
them, send them off, pick
them up, ride, not ride as
though they were bringing
in the wounded.
Pohlman enjoyed her
training once per month:
The coolest thing I ever
did was the first time we did
a helicopter extraction; we
were in hilltop country in
a rocky, mountainous area.
We came in and repelled
down to 500 feet and dan-
gled there. I was shaking
but it was the coolest thing
ever. That was something I
never thought Id do in my
life, she said.
Pohlman said her train-
ing correlated to EMT work
in the civilian world and
she met great friends, some
of whom she has stayed in
contact with. She said some
of her colleagues stayed in
the guards and served in the
Middle East. She got out
of the military in 2003 but
would do it again.
The sense of self-
empowerment was amaz-
ing. Their whole philosophy
is adapt and overcome. I
think you use that in any-
thing you do. It was an
amazing experience and Id
do it again if I had the
chance. I encourage people
to do it, she concluded.

Dear Annie: My 20-year-old nephew has
been a troubled youth, despite all the attempts
of his family to help him, including counseling
and rehab. When he was 18, he became involved
with a messed-up 14-year-old girl who used
drugs, alcohol and sex to get her way.
A year ago, my nephews family moved out
of state, but last fall he reconnected with the
old girlfriend via Facebook. The girls father
bought my nephew a plane
ticket to come visit. She is
now a spoiled 17-year-old
dropout who refuses to get a
job. Worse yet, while visit-
ing, my nephew also recon-
nected with all their former
drug-using friends.
My nephew is now back
with his family, but the girl
constantly texts and calls. It
seems she is planning to run
away and join him. His fam-
ily is furious. They hadnt
known about the plane ticket and never wanted
him involved with this girl. They are trying to
get him back into rehab, but he refuses to do any-
thing to help himself. Any ideas? -- Florida
Dear Florida: It is terribly sad when a child
is so self-destructive that you can only sit and
watch. But your nephew is a legal adult, and
there isnt much the family can do to change his
behavior. Please urge them to contact Families
Anonymous (familiesanonymous.org ) and
Because I Love You (bily.org ) for help, sugges-
tions and emotional support.
Dear Annie: Several years ago, you printed
an essay about a dog who had lived a long life
and had become old and sickly and wanted his
master to do him a favor and let him die. It was
written from the dogs viewpoint, and I think
of it often. Would it be possible to rerun it? --
Rockford, Ill.
Dear Rockford: Thank you for asking. We
last printed this in 2007, and several readers have
requested it since then. Here it is:
A Dogs Plea by Beth Norman Harris
Treat me kindly, my beloved friend, for no
heart in all the world is more grateful for kind-
ness than the loving heart of me.
Do not break my spirit with a stick, for though
I might lick your hand between blows, your
patience and understanding will more quickly
teach me the things you would have me learn.
Speak to me often, for your voice is the
worlds sweetest music, as you must know by
the fierce wagging of my tail when the sound of
your footstep falls upon my waiting ear.
Please take me inside when it is cold and
wet, for I am a domesticated animal, no longer
accustomed to bitter elements. I ask no greater
glory than the privilege of sitting at your feet
beside the hearth.
Keep my pan filled with fresh water, for I
cannot tell you when I suffer thirst.
Feed me clean food that I might stay well, to
romp and play and do your bidding, to walk by your
side and stand ready, willing and able to protect you
with my life, should your life be in danger.
And, my friend, when I am very old, and
I no longer enjoy good health, hearing and
sight, do not
make heroic
efforts to keep
me going. I am
not having any
fun.
Please see
that my trust-
ing life is taken
gently. I shall
leave this Earth
knowing with
the last breath
I draw that
my fate was
always safest
in your hands.

Tomorrows Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol
www.delphosherald.com
SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 2012
If too many of your opportunities
come simultaneously in the year
ahead and are more than you can
handle, you might have to prioritize
them. However, regardless of which
you choose first, dont assume that
itll be easy.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)
-- Chances are youll do reasonably
well with those projects that can be
accomplished easily. However, if
patience or a second effort is required,
itll be another story.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) --
If you have any hope of success, you
must be able to distinguish between
wishful thinking and realistic
expectations. Dont allow your
cravings to overpower reality.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) --
You might find a tug-of-war going
on within you, inasmuch as you are
likely to be quite adept at acquisition
but equally adroit at spending. Which
side will win is up to you.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
-- Scheduling an agenda that is
too demanding is likely to be self-
defeating. Dont attempt to do so
much that all your good intentions
end up going by the boards.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) --
There is nothing wrong with having
a good imagination, as long as
you dont use it to sell yourself on
illogical conceptions while totally
ignoring the hard truth.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) --
Someone you know might be flying
false colors in order to get you to do
something that your common sense
tells you to avoid. Listen to your
inner voice.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) --
Objectives that you establish for
yourself are likely to be worthy
ones. If youre not careful however,
a cohort who isnt in harmony with
your aims might try to take you down
another path.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) --
Before investing a lot of money on
a do-it-yourself project, make certain
that you can handle it and/or sustain
enough interest to finish it. If its a
momentary whim, youll come up
short.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
-- Just because a friend of yours
is experiencing some luck with a
speculative venture, this doesnt
mean that you will have the same
good fortune. By the time you jump
in, it may be too late.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) --
Leave undisturbed any volatile issues
that you and your mate hold opposing
opinions about. If you cant talk it out
peacefully, it will quickly become an
argument that neither can win.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec.
21) -- Theres a strong possibility
that you have a surfeit of talk and
a dearth of walk. Speaking of your
good intentions is worthless if its
merely hot air.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19) -- If you arent disciplined and
prudent with your financial dealings,
theres a probability that youll be
using far more red ink than black on
your balance sheet.

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 2012
Brighter and more pleasant
times could be in the offing for
you in the year ahead. One of the
main reasons for this is that you are
likely to develop a more relaxed
attitude that will serve you well both
commercially and socially.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) --
In your dealings, do what you can to
let the other party feel that he or she is
the only one who truly knows how to
gratify your requirements. If you do,
it will gain you extra consideration.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) --
One of your nobler attributes is your
loyalty to your friends. You might get
a chance to prove this when one of
your pals needs you to stand by him
or her.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) --
Because you perform so well while
under pressure, you arent likely to
back away from any challenging
developments. You will have plenty
of reserves from which to draw, and
they will be responsible for your
victory.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) --
If you have something good in the
hopper, first check with your best
friends to see if they want a piece
of it before you bestow it to just
anybody. Your pals would do the
same for you.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
-- Someone who has only given
you half-hearted support when you
needed it in the past might make a
remarkable turnabout and go all-out
to help you. Be sure to show your
gratitude.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- To
your credit, youll do what you can to
put those with whom youre involved
completely at ease. In doing so, it
will imbue your arrangements with
harmony and pleasant associations.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- A
person who has unfairly misjudged
you in the past based on distorted
information will change his or her
tune after spending some quality time
with you.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Its
never wise to let your heart rule your
head, yet today could produce an
exception to that rule. You might find
it best to allow compassion to take
precedence over practicality.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)
-- Changes you are likely to be
instrumental in making will affect
your family in ways that will win you
praise from all concerned. Itll make
you feel good that you did what you
did.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-
Dec. 21) -- Youll consider it very
important to let the one you love
know how you truly feel about him
or her. Expressing sincere devotion
will elevate this persons spirits and
make the day a special one.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19) -- You could do rather well for
yourself when the results of your
good work are tallied. The secret to
success is perseverance. Like a cat on
a clothesline, hang in there.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) --
As long as its sincere and deserved,
flattering another can score points for
you like nothing else. Go out of your
way to compliment anyone whom
you feel warrants special notice.

States attack Obamacare with birth control bills
By JOHN MILLER
The Associated Press
BOISE, Idaho
Republican lawmakers in a
handful of states are opening
another front in the war against
President Obamas health care
overhaul, seizing on the hot-
button issue of birth control
with bills that would allow
insurance companies to ignore
new federal rules requiring
them to cover contraception.
Measures introduced
recently in Idaho, Missouri and
Arizona would go beyond reli-
gious nonprofits and expand
exemptions to secular insurers
or businesses that object to
covering contraception, abor-
tion and sterilization.
In its present state, the
health care bill is an affront
to my religious freedoms,
said Idaho Republican Rep.
Carlos Bilbao, who is spon-
soring the bill.
The ACLU counters, say-
ing such bills discriminate
against women.
Each time more entities
are allowed to deny contra-
ceptive coverage, the reli-
gious beliefs of some are
imposed on others, and gen-
der equality is undermined,
said Monica Hopkins, the
ACLUs Idaho director.
The bills echo a separate
proposal in Congress spon-
sored by Missouri Republican
Sen. Roy Blunt, allowing
insurance plans to opt out of
the requirement on contra-
ception coverage if they have
moral objections.
The measures are a direct
challenge to a recent Obama
administration decision that
seeks to guarantee employees
of religion-affiliated institu-
tions reproductive health
coverage, which includes
contraception.
The controversy erupted
nationally this year when the
U.S. Conference of Catholic
Bishops and other religious
groups protested a new Patient
Protection and Affordable
Care Act rule that required
church-affiliated universities,
hospitals and nonprofits to
include birth control without
co-pays or premiums in their
insurance plans.
Their opposition led Obama
to modify the rule with changes
that shift the burden from reli-
gious organizations to insur-
ance companies, a solution that
did little to satisfy the opposi-
tion and led to the statehouse
challenges.
The bills, proposed by
Republican lawmakers in
conservative states, stand fair
chances of passing.
As the issue shifts battle-
fields from Washington D.C.
to state capitols, it offers
conservative lawmakers an
opportunity to make it more
difficult to obtain contracep-
tives they oppose on moral
grounds.
Also, it provides another
opportunity for opponents of
Obamacare to renew the
fight they see as a test of
states rights.
Idaho was the first state to
pass a law requiring its attor-
ney general to sue over the
2010 Patient Protection and
Affordable Care Act. And
Missouri and Arizona joined
the 27-state constitutional
challenge thats pending in
the U.S. Supreme Court.
Americans confront unprec-
edented government threats to
their religious freedom, in par-
ticular from the federal govern-
ments newly enacted mandates
relating to health insurance,
said Gary McCaleb, a lawyer
from the Alliance Defense Fund,
an Arizona-based Christian non-
profit.
Planned Parenthood
opposes the measures, argu-
ing that they seek to meddle in
essential womens health care
thats helped reduce infant
and maternal mortality.
Were going to work
to make sure women have
access to this benefit no mat-
ter where they work, said
Rachel Sussman, a Planned
Parenthood senior policy
analyst. Only a few states
are moving forward with this,
and we think theyre going to
soon find out its bad politics
... and its bad health care.
Sussman said its too early
to say whether her group
would file a legal challenge
to these measures, should
they pass, because they con-
flict with a federal law.
Ron Johnson, executive
director of Catholic Charities
Conference in Arizona, said
at a hearing recently that
passing the state law would
give Arizona standing to sue
the federal government over
the regulation.
But constitutional schol-
ar David Gray Adler, who
directs the University of
Idahos McClure Center for
Public Policy Research, says
that should the measures
pass, states will likely strug-
gle to assert their laws over
the federal rule.
Each time
more entities are
allowed to deny
contraceptive
coverage, the reli-
gious beliefs of
some are imposed
on others, and
gender equality
is undermined.

ACLUs Idaho director

Global clearinghouse ready
to evict Iranian banks
BRUSSELS (AP) A
financial clearinghouse used
by virtually every country and
major corporation in the world
agreed Friday to shut out Iran
from its respected network,
an unprecedented escalation
of global economic pressure to
halt Irans suspected drive for
nuclear weapons.
Quicker than a succession
of slow-acting economic sanc-
tions, expelling Iran from the
banking hub could put a sudden
choke hold on its oil-depen-
dent economy. The move was
made under strong pressure
from the United States and
the European Union, which
are looking for ways to derail
Irans nuclear program quickly
without a military strike.
The European Union
is expected to act within
weeks to effectively cut off
major Iranian banks from
participation in The Society
for Worldwide Interbank
Financial Telecommunication,
known as SWIFT. Its a move
of last resort, with risks rang-
ing from huge inflation and
financial hardship for ordinary
Iranians to disruption and price
increases on the world oil mar-
ket. Iran could also retaliate in
unpredictable ways.
The EU has already
imposed the first embargo on
Iranian oil, to take effect this
summer. The strongest-yet
U.S. sanctions on Irans life-
blood oil sector are due later
this year.
SWIFT said in a statement
on its web site that it will
comply with the expected
instruction to cut off Iranian
banks. SWIFT has previous-
ly brushed off international
efforts to use its network to
target countries or companies,
telling enforcers that it does
not judge the merits of the
transactions passing through
the portal.
