Delphos, Ohio them for the college realm. Im working hard at pre-calculus and chemistry because those are my two hardest classes, Winhover added. Im still debating on whether or not to take calculus my senior year. Next year, I plan on taking AP calculus, Honors English and physics to challenge myself, Heiing stated. Id like to take physics and AP Statistics to challenge myself, Corzine said. I plan to take calculus and physics to challenge myself senior year, Kramer expressed. From soup kitchens to leadership programs to Boy Scouts to Junior Optimists, each of these students has participated in community service work and gained leadership experience. Each is crafting a body of work which reflects a willingness to lead, give back to the community and ultimately, strengthen character.

Thomas appreciates host family, city for learning opportunities

BY ERIN COX Staff Writer news@delphosherald.com DELPHOS Jacob Thomas loves to tell stories and after living in another country for five months, he will have plenty of stories to share with his family and friends in Germany. Thomas, one of five German cultural exchange students living in Delphos, is from Werther, Germany. One of his teachers at his school lives in Verl, the sister city of Delphos. The teacher helps to organize the cultural exchange program with Delphos and expands the program to include his students in Werther, as well as students in Verl. He wants to give as many students as possible the opportunity to try something new and learn, Thomas said. Thomas had visited the United States twice before coming here in August but he had never been to Ohio. He wanted to participate in the cultural exchange program to me so many opportunities and that is really just amazing. One of the nicest experiences Thomas has had thus far was a fishing trip with his host uncle on a lake in Michigan. I had only fished once before and I cant remember it, Thomas said. This fishing trip was so much fun. I liked it so much. I learned to clean the fish, put the worms on the hook and then Judy cooked the fish for me and I got to eat it. It was amazing. He also visited Hocking Hills, attended the Lima and Van Wert County fairs and went to a Tin Caps game. Going to the Tin Caps game has been one of the highlights, Thomas said. We dont have baseball in Germany and I really liked it and Id like to go again. Germany also does not have pageants, he said, so he got to see a glimpse of what pageants are as he was an escort during the Canal Days Queen pageant. His favorite experience has been attending the football games. In comparison to what I have in Germany, the football games are really amazing, Thomas said. Everyone comes together to support the team and it shows so much strength with the school and the city. Thomas has noticed school spirit is a week-long activity. The whole week is working towards this one night, Thomas said. The supporters and the whole school will stand there to watch the game and its really cold and it doesnt bother them. They want to support their team Thomas is a tuba player and plays the sousaphone in the marching band at Jefferson. He had never marched before but he said the nerves do not compare to the nerves he gets when playing in competitions in Germany in front of a jury rather than a stadium full of football fans. I may get a little nervous about forgetting my marching steps but not the playing part, Thomas said. See THOMAS, page 10

Cars in crash on Harding Highway

Two automobiles were damaged in a collision at the Cochran corner on Harding Highway, two and a half miles east of Delphos, Sunday afternoon. A Star automobile, driven by a Mr. Patrick of near Scotts Crossing, coming toward Delphos crashed into an Overland touring car driven by Ed Kleman, of this city who was on his way to Lima. The front axle of the Overland was bent, a wheel was broken off and the running board was torn off. A wheel on the left side of the Star was crushed and the fenders and running board were torn off. Fortunately, the cars did not turn over and the occupants were not injured. Delphos Herald, Mar. 21, 1927 Two Railroad Motor Cars Collide Injuries were sustained by four employees of the Pennsylvania railroad signal and section departments Thursday afternoon when two motor cars on which they were riding were involved in a collision and were wrecked near the overhead about half a mile west of Delphos. C.E. Miller, signal maintainer, sustained a fracture of the right collar bone and received a number of cuts and bruises. John H. Flanagan, assistant maintainer, suffered a badly bruised left foot, injuries to the back and scratches and bruises. The exact extent of his injuries has not yet been determined. A.R. Boniface leaped from one of the cars when he saw that a collision could not be avoided. He sustained bruises and cuts about the forehead and face. Frank Dancer, section hand, also escaped with minor cuts and bruises. The speeder used by the signal men was considerable damaged while that used by the section man was not damaged to any extent.

STATE/LOCAL

BOB HOLDGREVE

Window to the Past

Delphos Herald, Mar. 18, 1927 Delphos Girl Takes First Prize For State of Ohio Announcement has again been made of the intention to conduct a safety campaign. This is the annual contest in which Miss Helen Wrocklage, pupil at St. Johns school, took first prize for the State of Ohio last year and was awarded a gold medal and $15 in cash. St. Johns will again participate in this contest this year. The following concerning the contest has been sent out from Washington, D.C.: Should children be taught street and highway safety at home or at school? Delphos Herald, Mar. 22, 1927 Penna. Railroad Puts Up Coal Oil Lamps City councilman, Harter, reported that instead of the Penna. company putting up an arc lamp at their crossing on Jefferson street, as requested of them by the Clerk, a coal oil lamp has been mounted on a post. On motion of Harter and second by Kaverman, the matter was left to the Street Light and Police Committee to see that the orders of the council were fulfilled. Kaverman reported on the dirty condition of the water in the well at King Bros. drug store. Sevitz moved the council and Fast gave assent that the Fire Department committee see that the well was attended to. Kaverman again brought up the matter of the defective floors on canal bridges, and the one on Third Street in particular, where a two-crack exists, and many of the boards are dangerously worn. On motion

of Fast and seconded by Harter, the clerk was instructed to once more notify the commissioners in regard to the matter. Fast, of the Forth ward, then took the floor, and in determined words, spoke of the crying necessity of a watchman at the Main Street crossing of the P.F. railroad. There is not a more dangerous crossing in town than this one, as Mr. Fast can testify, as he was nearly caught and crushed by the cars a few days ago while trains were switching on the main and side tracks. Mr. Sevitz agreed with him, that a watchman should be stationed there, and stated that three years ago the council clerk notified the company to take action, but the matter fell through for some reason. Delphos Herald, Dec. 18, 1895 Farmers Use Old Rails to Fight Corn Borer Farmers in the vicinity of Delphos, in fighting the corn borer, will be interested to know that rails may be procured in Delphos. Three railroads have agreed to furnish rails to farmers for this purpose, the Pennsylvania, Nickel Plate and B. & O. being named. At the local office of the Clover Leaf, a Nickel Plate line, a price of $6.50 for a seventy-five or eighty pound rail is being quoted. It is stated that the Pennsylvania has quoted the same price. The Clover Leaf agent here has instructions to sell rails to farmers if they wish them. No instructions have yet been received at the Pennsylvania station here. It is understood that the railroads are making an extra charge for cutting, where farmers desire shorter lengths of rails. The use of these heavy rails is strongly recommended by both State and Federal officials as a means of destroying the borer and facilitating cleanup regulations. Dragged across the heavy stubble they prove most

efficient in breaking down the stalks before burning or plowing under. Delphos Herald, Mar. 26, 1927 No Doctor Bills Allowed In Russia Moscow Russians pay their doctors what they think their services are worth and it is usually not very much. Physicians are not allowed to render bills for medical attendance, a tradition which grew up under the Czars and still is observed. Only the most expert specialists have ever been permitted to make definite charges which usually is less than $5 per visit; and even these leading doctors regularly give several free treatments each week. If a physician, offended at being offered fifty cents for his services, spurns the money and declares that he would rather give his services free than for such a paltry charge, he is liable to be expulsioned from the medical assn. for unethical conduct. In spite of these apparent handicaps, the Russian medical schools are over-crowded with students, more than half of whom are women. Delphos Herald, Mar. 26, 1927 Buy Grocery and Creamery at Celina Two former Delphos residents, Linus Schmelzer and Miss Viola Schmelzer, son and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dan Schmelzer, west of Delphos, recently purchased a grocery and creamery at Celina, formerly owned by the Andrees Brothers. They took charge of the business Saturday. Miss Schmelzer was formerly employed at the Clover Leaf Creamery in Delphos and Mr. Schmelzer was manager of the A. and P. store at Tiffin. Delphos Herald, Mar. 21, 1927 (P.S.: This is the 15th year for my old news articles. R.H.)

VWHS Theatre announces 2013-14 season

Information submitted VAN WERT Van Wert High School Theatre proudly presents the 2013-14 season at the Niswonger Performing Arts Center. This fall, VWHS theatre students will be performing The Miser, a classic comedy written by French playwright Moliere and adapted by Miles Malleson. The show starts out with the miser, known as Harpagon, trusting not a single person with his money and carefully keeping an eye on anyone getting near his garden where much of his treasures are buried. He plans to marry off his children against their wishes and marry a young bride for himself. Can Harpagon succeed with his plans without losing his fortunes and his mind? It is quite the adventure seeing the roll out of his plans through many funny situations and antics. Satire and farce come together in this fast-paced and hilarious show which is being directed by Mr. Chad Kraner, along with Miss Melissa Bloomfield as assistant director and Mr. Hugh Saunier as the technical director. The Miser runs at the Niswonger Performing Arts Center with shows starting at 7 p.m. on Nov. 22 and Nov. 23.

Music is by Tom Snow, lyrics by Dean Pitchford and stage adaptation by Pitchford and Walter Bobbie and is based on the original screenplay by Pitchford with additional music by Eric Carmen, Sammy Hagar, Kenny Loggins and Jim Steinman. This musical with the Oscar- and Tonynominated score, along with the familiar and nostalgic story, will be the hit show to see this spring. Life in small town Bomont is quiet until Ren, a Chicago boy, comes to town with his love for dance. He electrifies Bomont and brings dance back after a time of tragedy. Ren will fight for the chance to overturn the ban on dance put in place by the Rev. Shaw but not without difficulties and finding love and redemption along the way. Full of music, dancing, fun, humor and energy, Footloose will have the audience wanting to sing and dance in the aisle.

There is no such thing as bad publicity except your own obituary. Brendan Behan, poet, writer, playwright

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Dear Putnam County Voters: I am writing to lend my support for the PCEMS levy and ask you to support it also. Back in 1974 I was one of the original squad members making runs when Putnam County EMS began. Being a squad member for over 10 years I got to see the dedication, training, and compassionate care given to patients all around the county. I also know of the stress experienced by EMS personnel as they try to relieve the pain and suffering of those in need. On Nov.26, 2008, I experienced being on the other side of the fence when my heart stopped without any warning. If not for the quick actions of my wife beginning CPR and the quick response of EMS personnel, I might not be here to ask for your support. Their talent along with those of dispatch, fire, and police, all were part of the chain of survival that allows me to write this. Knowing the levy will provide supplemental help for the volunteers to reduce response times, and provide community training in the form of CPR and First Aid, give me the confidence to ask you to join me in supporting this levy. Seeing the EMS from both sides has made me realize that we cannot take that resource for granted. We need to strengthen Putnam County EMS to guarantee this vital service is available to answer the call. Please vote YES on Nov. 5. David J. Odenweller Ottawa Dear Editor: On Nov. 5, the voters of Putnam County have the opportunity to strengthen the medical well-being of the county. Putnam County EMS is asking the residents to approve a 0.65 mill levy that will provide supplemental help for the volunteers. The squads are a vital link to medical care in Putnam County. Hundreds of patients are transported to and from our facility every year by our local EMS units. It has been very reassuring to the patients and staff, that compassionate quality care is available locally. As a primary partner to the EMS, we at the Ambulatory Care Center see the unwavering dedication shown by the squads. We also get a first hand view of the strain put on the volunteer system due to increasing run volumes, additional training hours, and reduced availability. The passage of this levy will provide relief to a system that has been a source of dependable care and compassion for almost forty years. Please join me in support of the Putnam County EMS levy by voting YES on Nov. 5. Karen Vorst RN, Director St. Ritas Putnam County Ambulatory Care Center Dear Putnam County Voters: Of all the worthy issues up for a vote this November, none is more important to our Village and Township residents than the EMS levy. We are fortunate that we are home to one of Ohios most successful EMS services. Recognized in 2011 as Ohios Volunteer Service of the Year, PCEMS has provided comfort and care to residents for almost 40 years. This service has touched many lives and has helped to form a solid base for the continued growth of our communities. It is truly a great asset to our county. In service since 1974, Putnam County EMS has grown to meet the needs of the residents and have seen the number of runs nearly double to over 3000 since 1977. That increase and the modern day requirements of job and family commitments have greatly depleted the availability of these volunteers, in Putnam County and the entire state. Your vote will fund supplemental full and part-time help for the volunteers, to ensure emergency medical response is not delayed. Along with that help the volunteers will receive a reimbursement increase for their time on EMS runs. Lastly these funds will provide community support in the form of CPR and first aid classes for residents, as well as continuing education opportunities for the PCEMS personnel. Putnam County EMS has a significant impact on our communitys quality of life, so we encourage you to vote YES on Nov. 5 in support of the EMS levy. Robert L. Heidenescher, Putnam County Mayors Assn. President David R. Wieging www.edwardjones.com Putnam County Township Trustees Assn. www.edwardjones.com President

What you are about to read may come as a surprise to some, most or all of you. At one point, it would have even surprised me. I am voting yes on the citys .25-percent income tax on Nov. 5. It is 25 cents on every $100 of earned income from a city resident. If you had the stack of financials I have sitting before me, you would see there really is no painless way out of this hole the city is in without it. Theres been a lot of finger-pointing and blaming going around but ultimately, we are here and we need to work to fix it. Its going to take all of us. The city has made concession and some say they arent enough but I wonder if they really understand what can and cant be done. Loans come due and you have to pay them. We all know that. These are government loans and we all know the government gets its due regardless of what else happens. Anyone with a student loan sees that. To even have a chance at getting a deferral of the loan payments for six months or a year, the city has to show due diligence and prove they have done all they can to meet the payments. One of those check-list items is the income tax increase. Another is a rate increase. No one likes the sound of that. No one likes the word tax either. It makes hackles stand up and leaves a bad taste in the mouth. But there are more people in Delphos collecting a paycheck than there are households. On their own, water and sewer increases to get us to where we need to be will be quite a bit more than 25 cents on every $100. Those increases are the only other way the city

NANCY SPENCER

On the Other hand

has to bring in more revenue right now. How we got here has been called the perfect storm. Everything fell into place and we did not come out the winner. The holes in the cheese lined up. The main problem is time. There is a substantial loan payment dropping off in mid-2015 that will take the stress off the citys coffers but we have to get to 2015. Thats the problem. They city is in deficit spending and if the revenue doesnt come up, at the end of 2015 the funds will drop to a negative balance. We need to learn from the mistakes that were made so they are not repeated and perhaps decisions will take a little more thought and review. A good thing in my estimate. Crossing our arms and saying someone else created the problem and I wont be a part of the solution is not feasible. There is a little more than a week before the General Election. I urge you to visit the municipal building and ask to see the budget for yourself. If you can find a way to plug the more than $800,000 hole, be my guest. Im all ears and Im sure everyone else is, too. I know, its not your job but everyone needs to get a little understanding on the situation to make an informed decision.

caused us to reach the debt limit in the first place. Its overspending that will cause us to reach it again next year, and no amount of extraordinary measures or financial imagination at Treasury can stop that from happening. Over the past two weeks, the President and Senate Democratic leadership have repeatedly promised that if we raised the debt ceiling, they would negotiate on spending. The ball is now in the Presidents court. Now its time for the President to finally engage. Its time for him to come to the table, to meet with us in good faith. A good place to start would be the mandatory spending reforms President Obama has already agreed to in his budget, savings that add up to more than $600 billion over the next decade. We need to engage in pro-growth tax reform that gets this economy growing again and gets Americans back in a job. The president says he doesnt want to be held hostage over the debt limit. Hes not; hes being given an opportunity to lead, using his own proposals. Reaching consensus on these issues will take tough negotiations, and Republicans and Democrats wont agree on everything. But the American people sent us here to get things done. Using President Obamas own proposals, lets take the first steps toward entitlement reform and onto some common ground to break the gridlock in DC and finally do something about our unsustainable spending.

Blue Jays pound Cardinals in MAC

By LARRY HEIING DHI Correspondent news@delphosherald.com NEW BREMEN Expectations for the past 20 years at St. Johns are that they will win the majority of the football games on their schedule every year. This, in turn, will generate enough computer points to qualify for the playoffs and continue playing in week #11. As most Blue Jay fans remember, that wasnt always the expectation for St. Johns football. Twentyfive years ago, one- or even no-win seasons were the norm. Then Vic Whiting took over the football program and the tradition of the playoffs began. Unfortunately for the New Breman Cardinals this year, they resemble the Jays of the early 1980s. This is also bad news for St. Johns because a victory over a winless team doesnt earn many computer points in the Region 24 standings . New Bremen presents a challenge for us, Blue Jay head coach Todd Schulte said before Fridays Midwest Athletic Conference game at New Bremen, which the Jays won 48-12. They havent had any luck on the offensive or defensive side of the ball, so they are trying many different formations, hoping that something finally works. This makes it tough for us to prepare for them based on what weve seen in films. It didnt take St. Johns too long to take charge of the game as Luke MacLennan returned the opening kickoff 91 yards for a touchdown. Ben Wrasmans extra point made it 7-0 jusy 16 seconds into the game. New Bremen took over on its own 32 and drove to the St. Johns 38. The drive stalled and Evan Hays returned to the New Bremen punt to his own 47. MacLennan then ran to the right sideline and was met by a host of New Bremen defenders. Cutting left across the field, he made several nice moves down to the Cardinals 4. Tyler Jettinghoff scored on the next play and Wrasmans kick made it 14-0 with 7:58 left in the quarter. On the Blue Jay kickoff, Wrasman nailed a deep kick that New Bremen took over on its 13. St. Johns defense held and a sack by Jason Wittler on third down drove the Cardinals back to the 5. Hays returned the New Bremen punt to the 35. Jettinghoff took off on a 26-yard run to the 9. Nick Martzs pass to Jettinghoff drove the ball to the 4 and MacLennan scored from there and Wrasmans PAT made it 21-0 with 4:34 left in the period. New Bremen took over on its own 20 after Wrasmans kick sailed into the end zone. The Cardinals converted two 4thand-1s in driving the ball out to the 47. A chop block penalty on the Cardinals took the ball back to the 32 and Cody Looser intercepted a pass from Trey Naylor, returning it all the way down to the Bremen 8. Martz then kept the ball, running it into the end zone with 10:24 left in the half. Wrasmans kick made it 28-0. New Bremens offense came alive in driving the ball all the way down to the Jays 2. On fourth down, Hays recovered a Cardinal fumble and returned the ball for an apparent Blue Jay touchdown but it was nullified by a block in the back penalty, putting the Blue Jays at their own 40.

Ada nips previously-unbeaten Wildcats at end

By JIM METCALFE Staff Writer jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com DELPHOS The Delphos-Ada Northwest Conference football game had a little bit of everything: two safeties against Jefferson, lead changes, penalties galore, two touchdowns called back and a late score. In the end, the visiting Bulldogs had that late score and held off a furious Wildcat try at the end to survive with a 25-20 victory on a chilly October Friday night at Stadium Park. Ada (7-2, 6-1 NWC) dominated the football for 77 plays (347 yards) to 50 (251 yards) for the previously-unbeaten Wildcats (8-1, 5-1 NWC). Jefferson had 10 penalties for 106 and Ada seven for 60. The Wildcats had overcome a very slow start to lead 20-11 with 9:34 left. Adas Luke Long-Green took the ensuing kickoff back 69 yards, putting Ada at the Jefferson 17. Despite a 17-yard scoring pass brought back due to a procedure call, the Bulldogs still scored in two plays. At the 25, Matt Wilcox (18-of-34 passing, 197 yards, 3 picks; 21 rushes, 67 yards) in the traditional Ada shotgun found Spencer Archer (3 catches, 36 yards) on the left side; the senior pulled out of tacklers at the 10 and dove into the end zone. The 2-pointer failed as the Wildcats now led 20-17 with 8:23 to go. Tyler Talboom recovered a short kickoff at the Jefferson 38 and a personal foul moved them to the Ada 47. The Wildcats turned to the ground game, led by Zavier Buzard (18 rushes, 118 yards), to move to the 16 in six plays. A Buzard scoring run was called back due a holding penalty and then Archer picked off an Austin Jettinghoff (11-of-23 passing, 173 yards, 2 picks) aerial at the 13 with 4:27 left. The Bulldogs then went on an agonizing 13-play drive behind 6-of-9 passing by Wilcox (58 yards) to take the final lead. At the Jefferson 8, Wilcox found Blake Ansley (7 catches, 46 yards; 18 rushes, 90 yards) at the 5 and the sophomore vaulted into the end zone with 45 ticks left. Wilcox hit Ansley for the 2-pointer and a 25-20 edge. The Wildcats were not done. Tyler Mox returned the kickoff 18 yards to the 33 and they had 41 seconds left and two timeouts. Jettinghoff went 4-of-5 passing for 48 yards to reach the Bulldog 19. He spiked the ball with three seconds left for one final play. He was forced to scramble and the pass was incomplete to end the game. We had a slow start; we overcame that. Our defense bent but didnt break until the end but it was on the field too much, Jefferson coach Bub Lindeman said. Ada in its traditional spread offense took the opening possession at its 28 and drove the length of the field in 13 plays to hit paydirt. At the Jefferson 4, Ansley took a handoff inside right guard and kept churning to the end zone. Austin Dumbaugh added the kick for a 7-0 edge with 7:38 showing in the first. A turnover on the third play from scrimmage, recovered by Dumbaugh, gave the visitors the ball at the Delphos

47. However, the Wildcat defense forced a 3-and-out, with the Wilcox punt and a fumble forcing the Wildcats to start at their own 5. A 3-and-out and a Jettinghoff 33-yard punt allowed Ada to start at the host 40. The Bulldogs reached the Jefferson 7 in seven plays. However, senior Joe Gorman picked off a screen pass at the 10 to end that threat. However, a procedure call sent the Wildcats back and a play later from the 5, a bad snap in the shotgun forced Jettinghoff to scramble and he was tackled in the end zone for a safety and a 9-0 Ada edge with 29 ticks showing in the first. After the kickoff, the Bulldogs started at midfield and reached the Jefferson 21 in seven plays but on play eight, a 4thand-2, Ansley was stopped a yard short. The Cats seemed to get into some rhythm on the next drive, moving from the 20 to the 44, but a holding call, a sack and a batted pass forced them to kick it away. An interception of a Wilcox pass by Trevor Dudgeon and 38-yard return set the hosts in business at the Ada 29. Buzard ran for two, then after a procedure call set them back to the 32, Jettinghoff, in the gun, threw down the right-side numbers to Josh Teman, who made a brilliant over-the-shoulder catch at the goalline for the six. Kurt Wollenhaupt made it a 9-7 deficit with 3:17 left in the opening half. See WILDCATS, page 7

OHIO DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES Division of Wildlife Weekly Fish Ohio Fishing Report! CENTRAL OHIO Deer Creek Lake (Fayette/Pickaway counties) Cool water temperatures have fish more active. For crappie, target woody cover in the coves; in shallower water, try minnows or jigs suspended under a bobber. Largemouth bass can be caught on spinner baits, crankbaits and plastics; try fishing points and concentrations of gizzard shad. Bluegill are being caught on wax worms and nightcrawlers. White bass are active around Tick Ridge; look for fish breaking the water surface as they chase gizzard shad and use spinners and jigs to get them. Scioto River (Delaware/Franklin/Pickaway counties) - Smallmouth bass and saugeye can be caught using crankbaits and plastics below Griggs and OShaughnessy Reservoirs; try the upper end of pools where they meet riffles. Channel catfish can also be caught using cut bait or chicken livers around woody cover in pools. NORTHWEST OHIO Findlay Reservoir #2 (Hancock County) - Located southwest of Findlay on Township Road 207, there is a full boat ramp at the southern shore. Yellow perch and walleye should be biting this month. During the fall, yellow perch can be caught around structure. The best baits include minnows and red worms fished near the bottom with spreaders or crappie rigs. Fall is a great time to hook into some walleye; try fishing along the shoreline during the morning and evening hours. There is a 9.9-HP limit here. Nettle Lake (Williams County) - This natural glacial lake is located on County Road 4.75, off SR 49. Largemouth bass and crappie should be biting this time of year; evenings usually produce the best. Bass anglers should focus their efforts along the edges using topwater lures and crme worms. In October, large crappie can usually be found near the lily pads in the northwest corner. There is a boat ramp at the southwest corner of the lake. There are no horsepower restrictions; however, there is a No-Wake Rule (power boaters must operate at idle speed) between the hours of 6 p.m. and 10 a.m. From 10 a.m. until 6 p.m., there are no speed restrictions for power boaters. NORTHEAST OHIO Region wide - Try your hand at last-chance perch before hard water heads this way. You dont need to go to the big water of Lake Erie to catch perch: Long Lake, Mogadore, Mosquito and Wingfoot reservoirs offer sandwich-sized perch. Fish just as you would Lake Erie, using shiners on spreaders in deep water; go to www.wildohio.com to download and print maps for more information about where to park, where to fish and history of the location. Clear Fork Branch of the Mohican River (Ashland County) - What a fantastic time of year to enjoy the fall foliage below the Pleasant Hill Reservoir where brown trout were recently stocked. Anglers can ply the water with flies, small jigs under a float, or an assortment of small spinners; remember, there is a 12-inch minimum length for harvest. Go to www.wildohio.com to download and print a map of this waterway. SOUTHEAST OHIO Piedmont Lake (Belmont County) - Saugeye are starting to move into shallower areas as the temperatures start to cool in this 2,273-acre lake. Fish the

Fish Ohio

shoreline and road bed in the lower basin of the lake near the dam; use jerkbaits or crankbaits imitating minnows or shad while doing a steady cast-and-retrieve. In the main lake, cast crankbaits around the shoreline or vertical jig with a minnow and chartreuse twister tail. Dow Lake (Athens County) - This 171-acre lake, located inside Strouds Run State Park, is a popular destination for local anglers; shore access is available from U.S. Route 50 and boat access is available from CR 20 (Strouds Run Road). Fall offers great opportunities for largemouth bass as the cooler temperatures cause the fish to move back into shallower water; try fishing around structure such as weed beds and fallen trees using spinner baits and crankbaits. SOUTHWEST OHIO Rocky Fork Lake (Highland County) - Saugeye are being taken near the islands and along main lake points; try trolling silver-colored crank baits where the lure occasionally bumps the bottom. Largemouth bass can be found along rocky shorelines and near fallen trees; cast jigs, rubber worms and crankbaits for bass. Great Miami River (Miami/Montgomery/Warren counties) - Smallmouth bass fishing is excellent as the water cools and river conditions remain clear and stable. Look for areas with water deeper than 4 feet around bridge pilings, submerged logs and undercut banks; try drifting a live nightcrawler or minnow fished under a bobber or plastic crayfish or crank baits in crawdad patterns. Zulu in pearl or Rapala X-Rap are also effective. OHIO RIVER Belleville Locks and Dam - Sauger and walleye fishing will pick up in the tailwater section as river temperatures cool. Try white or chartreuse twister tails or swimbaits near the dam and along the walkway; night and early morning are the best times now, although fish can still be caught throughout the day. Hybrid-striped bass fishing should remain good; try using spoons, crankbaits and live bait. Meldahl Dam (Clermont County) Fishing for striped bass and catfish continues to be productive above or below the Meldahl Dam using chicken livers or nightcrawlers fished on the bottom. LAKE ERIE Regulations to Remember: The daily bag limit for walleye on Ohio waters of Lake Erie is 6 fish per angler; minimum size limit is 15 inches. The daily bag limit for yellow perch is 30 fish per angler on all Ohio waters of Lake Erie. The trout and salmon daily bag limit is 2 fish; minimum size limit is 12 inches. The black bass (largemouth and smallmouth bass) daily bag limit is 5 fish per angler with a 14-inch minimum size limit. Western Basin: Walleye fishing has been limited by weather over the past week (as of Tuesday). As temperatures drop, expect fishing to improve as migratory walleye return to the islands and also nearshore areas; trolling crankbaits behind planer boards is a popular method for catching fall walleye. Yellow perch fishing has also been limited by weather conditions. The following areas are from the past weeks report: West Sister Island, near the north end of the Toledo shipping channel, 9 miles out from the Toledo water intake, West Reef, west of Green and Rattlesnake islands, between Kelleys Island and Lakeside, northwest of Kelleys Island, east of Kelleys Island and off Kelleys Island Shoal; perch-spreaders with shiners fished near the bottom produce the most fish.

JIM METCALFE COLLEGE OKLAHOMA: Tech is up and coming but the Sooners never really left. They quietly have had a solid season and I like them in Norman but not by much. OREGON: UCLA has entered a gauntlet of strong teams. They are another up-and-coming team but Quackers are already there; speed, speed and more speed win in Eugene. MISSOURI: South Carolina let us ALL down last week. Mizzou surprised me with a backup QB. I wont make that mistake again. OREGON STATE: Beavers have quietly come along. Any time a California team goes to the Pacific Northwest, its never easy. Beavers get BIG win in Corvallis. CLEMSON: Tempted to pick against the pretending Tigers once again! after horrible outing last week. Will resist that temptation. VANDERBILT: Aggies may not have Johnny Football. Even with him, they cant stop anybody. PRO: NEW YORK GIANTS: G-Men on a streak! Iggles are a mess at QB. Home team usually wins in this series; its at Philly. DETROIT: Megatron against struggling secondary. He MUST be salivating. CINCINNATI: Which Bengals will show up? My guess is that finally, the contenders will. ARIZONA: Falcons weapons are severely reduced and defense isnt good enough. PITTSBURGH: Former hated rivals meet up before Raider Nation. Both teams will beat each other to molecules but Steelers will win. NEW ENGLAND: Not sold on Tannehill as Miami QB yet. Am sold on Mr. Brady in Foxborough.

It was once again a mixed bag of success amongst the five pickers last week. Regular Bob Weber set the pace with an 8-4 mark 3-3 college, 5-1 pros. He is now 55-29 30-12 and 25-17. Regular Dave of the Boninsegna clan was 6-6 (1-5, 5-1) to make his record 45-39 (22-20, 23-19). I and Guest Picker Marc Smith went an illustrious (aka ugly) 5-7 (2-4, 3-3 both). I stand at a miserable, rotten, horrible, terrible some might even say mediocre! 47-37 (25-17, 22-20). With the other GP Nancy Spencer going 4-8 (1-5, 3-3), that makes the aggregate of the GPs 86-69 (42-35, 44-34). Coach Smith and Nancy Spencer who probably did pick them last week return as GPs. Here are the Games: College: Texas Tech at Oklahoma; UCLA at Oregon; South Carolina at Missouri; Stanford at Oregon State; Clemson at Maryland; Vanderbilt at Texas A & M. NFL: NY Giants at Philadelphia; Dallas at Detroit; NY Jets at Cincinnati; Atlanta at Arizona; Pittsburgh at Oakland; Miami at New England. DAVE BONINSEGNA College: Oklahoma; Big 12 showdown that could go either way; both teams are evenly matched but I will go with the home team just because. Oregon: Oregon continues to be dominant on both sides of the ball. UCLAs young offensive line got younger with more injuries across the front. The Ducks hang on to that number 3 spot. Missouri; A win by the Tigers and they essentially win the SEC East Division in their second year in the league. Maty Mauk led the Tigers last week; he does it again on Saturday. Stanford: The teams may have like records but Stanford is near the top of the top 25, while Oregon St. is right at the bottom. I like Stanford to knock the Beavers out of the top 25. Clemson: Tajh Boyd and Clemson had both Heisman and national title hopes ruined by FSU. The No. 9 Tigers put last Saturdays misery behind them with a win over the Terps. Texas A & M: The Aggies are coming off their second loss of the season but despite Johnny Manziel being injured, the Aggies still take care of Vandy. NFL: NY Giants: The Giants got their first win last week; that could get them in a groove. Look for them to get their second this week in Philly. Detroit; The Lions lost on that last second field goal last week to Cincy; I think the Lions bounce back this week. Cincinnati; Who Dey on a roll; lets just hope this week they hold off on the drama and take it early. Arizona; With their longest losing streak in six seasons behind them, the Atlanta Falcons appear ready to move forward with confidence. However, Atlanta is so banged up, I am taking the Cards. Pittsburgh: The Steelers have won two in a row now and their defense is getting better; the Steelers take number three in a row. New England; The Pats look to get back on track after their stunning loss to the Jets; Miami took one on the chin as well. New England comes back and wins this week. BOB WEBER College: Oklahoma - The Red Raiders highpowered offense will be shut down by the nations leading pass defense in the Sooners. Oregon - Two of the best QBs (Marcus Mariota and Brett Hundley) will light up the scoreboard. Going with the Ducks and their great uniforms. Missouri - Im going again with Maty Mauk and the Tigers defense that leads the SEC with 23 sacks on the year. Stanford - The Cardinals - but hoping theyre not looking past this game for next week against the Ducks. Clemson - Tajh Boyd and the Tigers will rebound after their thumping to the Seminoles last weekend. Texas A@M - The Aggies will score enough points to make up for their woeful defense. Pro: Philadelphia - Neither one of these teams impress me but Im thinking Michael Vick will outscore Eli in this one.

Martz took off on a 21-yard run, Jetttinghoff pounded for nine yards, Wrasman hauled in a 9-yard pass from Martz, then Jettinghoff hit paydirt with a 23-yard run with 2:26 left in the half. The PAT was blocked by Carson Manger, keeping the score 34-0. New Bremen again drove down the field in opening the second half all the way to the Blue Jay 15. After two stops by the Blue Jay defense for no gain, Kellen Shoemaker halted the drive with a 2-yard tackle for loss and the Blue Jays took over at the 19. After long runs by MacLennan and Jettinghoff for a pair of first downs, a Martz pass was intercepted by Garrett Westerbeck; Wes Buettner made the tackle at the 6 saving the touchdown. Westerbeck ran for three yards, Alex Haunhorst sacked Naylor for a 4-yard loss, Wrasman broke up a pass on third down and an incom-

plete pass gave the Jays the ball at the 7. Martz got the Blue Jays out of poor field position with a 73-yard run. With Jettinghoff lining up at quarterback, he took the snap in for a 20-yard touchdown. The PAT brought the score to 41-0.

Picks

Ada marched from its 32 to the Jefferson 39 but on 4th-and-6, Wilcox was picked off by Mox to effectively end the half. The Wildcats Derek Foust recovered the short kickoff at the 38 to start the second half. Jettinghoff hit Ross Thompson for 29 and then Buzard, in the I formation, took a sweep around right end and once he found the corner, was gone down the sidelines. Wollenhaupt made it 14-9 with a mere 32 ticks off the second-half clock. Ada drove from its 36 to the Wildcat 23 aided by a pass interference call but on 4th-and-3, Wilcox was pressured into an incompletion. However, the Wildcats had an offensive pass interference call set them back and Jettinghoff, at the back of the end zone, saw a high punt snap go off his fingertips and out of the end zone for a safety and a 14-11 score with 5:53 showing in the third. After Jeffersons D forced a punt, they put together a 9-play drive from the 19 to the Ada 25 but Jettinghoff, throwing into the end zone, was picked off by Archer. Wilcox fumbled on the very next

play from scrimmage and Dalton Hicks pounced on it at the 23. Buzard then took a pitch off right tackle and showed good power, bulling through tacklers, and driving into the end zone. Wollenhaupts kick failed as they led 20-11 with 9:34 left. Jefferson visits archrival Spencerville to finish NWC action Friday, while Ada takes on Lima Central Catholic.

up, he can lean on his bigplay receiver DeSean Jackson for some downfield help and should be able to pound the ball with one of the leagues top running backs Shady McCoy. Detroit - This game will feature two of the NFLs top wide receivers in Dez Bryant and Calvin Johnson. Both quarterbacks are capable of putting up big numbers. Look for the Lions to squeak this out at home in a high-scoring shootout. Atlanta - Although the offensively-depleted Falcons havent had much go their way this season, they are getting healthier in a few key areas and should be strong enough to beat the lackluster Cardinals. Pittsburgh - Look for the Steelers to run the ball with rookie running back Leveon Bell. Hes a bruising back that will wear down Oaklands D. New England - The Patriots are making a midseason push to get healthy. With Gronk back in the lineup, it gives Tom Brady one of his favorite targets in the red zone. The league should take note over the next three weeks. They will also be getting back Danny Almendola and running back Shane Vereen, making the Patriots quite formidable late in the season.

Fish

(Continued from page 6)

Dallas - Going with the visitors in this one, hoping that the return of Demarcus Ware on the defense and Demarco Murray in the backfield will allow the Cowboys to prevail. Cincinnati - The Bengals defense is going to make things real tough on a very talented Geno Smith and I hope the Bengals field goal unit doesnt push anyone in the back during the game. Note: NFL watch games - it happens all the time!!! Atlanta - The Falcons are getting healthier and after a bye week, I look for them to have a big day against the Cardinals. Pittsburgh - Two in a row and Momma is happy!! Been impressed with Terrell Pryor this year but Im worried its going to be a long day for him with his offensive line giving up already 27 sacks this year. Big Ben will probably throw two interceptions but LeVeon Bell will bail him out and they will score just enough to beat the Raiders. New England - Tom Brady will not lose two games in a row and Gronk is just a beast on the field. MARC SMITH College: Oklahoma - I believe they

are the more well-rounded team. Oregon - Having seen the Ducks live this season, I dont know if Ive ever seen better team speed for a college team. Will probably play for the National Championship. South Carolina - Coming of a huge loss to Tennessee, I think the Gamecocks will bounce back in the SEC to knock off a Tiger team thats due to lose. Stanford - Very fundamental and complete football team. Clemson - Im gonna go with talent here. Will Clemson still have a hangover from last weeks debacle? Probably, but theyll recover in time to pull out the win. Texas A&M - You gotta put up points to beat the Aggies - I dont think the Vandy offense is explosive enough. Pros: Giants - Does Philadelphia know who their QB is? Detroit - The Lions bounce back at home. Cincinnati - It appears that the Bengals are starting to find their stride. Arizona - I like the home team; Falcons injuries are going to catch up to them. Pittsburgh - The Steelers are starting to play better football. New England - Look for the Pats to bounce back at home.

NANCY SPENCER College: Texas Tech - Texas Techs passing game will come up against the Sooners tough pass defense. one of the best in the nation so the winner of this matchup will have the best running game and that is Texas Tech. Oregon - Oregons playing well on both sides of the ball and its D is tough. UCLAs offensive line keeps getting younger with injuries across the front. Missouri - Missouri is coming off win and is at home. Stanford - Stanford will give the Beavers all they can chuck and more. Clemson - Even though Clemsons national title opes are gone, the Tigers still have a lot to play for. Maryland has also been down lately and just lost its two leading receivers for the rest of the season. Vanderbilt - The Aggies defense is struggling and Vanderbilt is fresh off the upset of Georgia last week. Pros: Philadelphia Even though Michael Vick will start this game a little banged

Central Basin: Walleye fishing slowed over the past week (as of Tuesday) as weather conditions limited opportunities. Some have been reported within 5 miles of shore from Cedar Point to Vermilion; trolling crankbaits behind planer boards is a popular method for catching fall walleye. Farther east, there were not many angler interviews this past week, but fishing continues to be good in 70 feet of water north of Ashtabula; anglers are trolling wire line with pink, yellow, orange and green stick baits. Yellow perch fishing has been good in between the storm events in 51 feet of water north of Edgewater Park, in 42 feet north of Gordon Park, in 42-47 feet northwest of Fairport Harbor and in 48-54 feet northeast of Ashtabula; spreaders with shiners fished near the bottom produce the most fish. Shore fishing off the Cleveland and Fairport area piers has been slow. Smallmouth and largemouth bass fishing has been good in 10-20 feet around harbor areas in

Cleveland, Fairport Harbor, Geneva, Ashtabula and Conneaut; anglers are using crayfish and leeches. White Bass fishing has been hit or miss off the East 55th Street and East 72nd Street piers in Cleveland and the long pier in Fairport Harbor. Small fish are being caught off the Fairport Harbor Pier; evenings have been the best. Lots of large white bass are being caught by boat yellow perch fisherman off Fairport Harbor. On the lake, look for gulls feeding on shiners at the surface; the white bass will be below. Anglers are using agitators with jigs and small spoons. Steelhead Trout are being caught off the long and short piers in Fairport Harbor and also in the Grand River up to Helen Hazen Wyman Park; anglers are using jigs tipped with maggots or minnows with a bobber, plus small spoons. The water temperature is 54 degrees off Toledo and 63 degrees off Cleveland, according to the nearshore marine forecast. Anglers are encouraged to always wear a U.S. Coast Guard-approved personal flotation device while boating.

Tomorrows Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol
bring you the greatest joy. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Use your imagination to find a viable solution to your financial problems. A service or skill you have can be turned into a second income with a little ingenuity. MONDAY, OCTOBER 28, 2013 Take on a project or search for a place to visit in the months ahead. Getting into the swing of things and broadening your horizons will turn this into a spectacular year. Dont be afraid to make the first move, and do everything with confidence and gusto. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Let emotional mishaps pass you by without causing upset. Mistakes happen, and you have too much going for you to let the little annoyances bother you. Think big and follow through. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Make sure you have a serviceable Plan B ready to go. Making a snap decision or changing course midstream could confuse others, but it will bring you closer to your destination. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Take on additional responsibility today. The more control you have, the less time youll spend explaining what you want or fixing what you dont like. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -Dont leave anything to chance. Take a close look around you and figure out what everyone else is doing. Emotions are likely to surface, and sudden, unexpected change will be necessary. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -Appreciate life and the people you love. If you devote energy to projects and plans that entice you, youll find a way to make extra money while having fun. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You would be wise to avoid making last-minute decisions. Mild unpredictability will help you avoid interference in your affairs. Romance will improve your life. Get active to feel better. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Put one foot in front of the other. Taking the proper precautions will ensure success. Refuse to let anyone stand in your way. Be prepared to pay for what you want -- no debt, no worry. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Put love first and nurture the relationships that are most important to you. Fixing up your place to ensure comfort and entertainment will lead to compliments from influential folks. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Sharing with people who think like you will help you flush out any aspect of an endeavor that has the potential to go wrong. Being a team player will promote friendship. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Make a decision based on your needs. You may not win, but you will find out where you stand, giving you added impetus and needed help to move on and do your own thing. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -Greater participation will lead to allies and strong friendships. Take pride in what you do and deliver on any promises you make. Someone from your past will offer you something special. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Dont get sidetracked, no matter what comes at you. Finish whats expected of you before someone complains. Leave plenty of time for a special get-together or to take care of personal needs.

HI AND LOIS

SUNDAY, OCTOBER 27, 2013 Do what works best for you in the months ahead. Look over the highs and lows you have experienced recently and choose a path that suits your current situation. Being a little different will draw interest and spark ideas that could turn a little venture into something exciting. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -Keep your emotions in check, or you may ruin an opportunity to enrich your life. Trust in your intuition to lead you down a path toward peace and happiness. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Offer something if you want something in return. Your charm and carefree attitude will attract an audience willing to follow your lead and support your venture. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -You may be tempted to get involved in an impractical project. Dont be fooled by someones improbable claims. Do your homework and make a decision based on facts, not hearsay. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -Dont follow someone else. You have to make your choice based on your own judgment. Going it alone may be daunting, but it could bring the highest rewards. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- You will instinctively know what will and wont work. Journey in a direction that caters to your skills and expertise, and it will lead to money and success. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -You will learn something valuable from experiences with people who grab your attention and capture your heart. A passionate approach will ensure that your talents are recognized. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Keep your emotions in check when reacting to others. Keep busy with challenging physical activities to avoid emotionally draining conversation. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Do your best to right a wrong or to fix a problem that has sprung from a misunderstanding. Share your thoughts and suggestions with the people who count. Offer love and affection, not criticism. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -Do your own thing and follow your dream. You will meet new friends if you participate in an event that deals with something you know little about. Take a chance to enrich your life. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Listen to others, but be careful how you respond. Now is not the time to start a war. Put off seeking a solution until you have time to go over the facts and figures. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Put more into your important friendships. The bonds you have with others make a difference in the quality of your life. Caring, sharing and teamwork will

Both sides agree: No major budget deal foreseen

WASHINGTON (AP) On this, GOP budget guru Rep. Paul Ryan and top Senate Democrat Harry Reid can agree: There wont be a grand bargain on the budget. Instead, the Wisconsin Republican and the Nevada Democrat both say the best Washington can do in this bitterly partisan era of divided government is a small-ball bargain that tries to take the edge off of automatic budget cuts known as sequestration. Official Capitol Hill negotiations start next week, but Ryan and Reid both weighed in Thursday to tamp down any expectations that the talks might forge a large-scale agreement where several previous high-level talks have failed. Long-standing, entrenched differences over taxes make a large-scale budget pact virtually impossible, according to lawmakers, their aides and observers who will be monitoring the talks. Most Republicans say they simply wont agree to any further taxes atop the 10-year, $600 billion-plus tax increase on upper-income earners that President Barack Obama and Democrats muscled through Congress in January. Without higher taxes, Democrats say they wont yield to

FDA proposes rules to make animal food safer ODOT

WASHINGTON (AP) Amid incidents of pets dying from dog treats, the Food and Drug Administration is proposing long-awaited rules to make pet food and animal feed safer. The rules stem from a sweeping food safety law passed by Congress almost three years ago. Like rules proposed earlier this year for human food, they would focus on preventing contamination before it begins. The announcement comes as the FDA says it hasnt yet determined a cause of almost 600 dog deaths believed to be linked to pet jerky treats imported from China. The agency has been trying for six years to determine what exactly is causing those illnesses. The proposed rules would require those who sell pet food and animal feed in the United States including importers to follow certain sanitation practices and have detailed food safety plans. All of the manufacturers would have to put individual procedures in place to prevent their food from becoming contaminated. The rules would also help human health by aiming to prevent foodborne illnesses in pet food that can be transferred to humans. People can become sick by handling contaminated pet food or animal feed. Michael Taylor, FDA deputy commissioner for foods, said the rules fit together with regulations proposed in July to create better oversight over imported food, including pet foods and animal feed. The idea behind all of the food safety rules is to make businesses more responsible for the safety of the food they are selling by proving they are using good food safety practices. They might do that by documenting basic information about their suppliers cleanliness, testing foods or acquiring food safety audits. If they fail to verify the food is safe, the FDA could stop shipments of their food. Currently, the government does little to ensure that companies are trying to prevent food safety problems but generally waits and responds to outbreaks after they happen. Taylor said the new rules, once they are in place, could be helpful in investigating the jerky treat deaths if those illnesses are still happening. But they still may not be able to solve the mystery because the FDA has not yet been able to determine what ingredients are causing sickness. The rules generally ask manufacturers to focus on certain hazards and do their best to prevent them. We are really still trying to find out what the hazard is in the jerky illnesses, Taylor said. The FDA said the rule could cost industry $130 million annually to comply. Smaller businesses would have more time to put the rule in place. The agency will take comments for four months before issuing a final rule and will hold a series of public meetings to explain the proposal.

cuts in benefit programs like Medicare. If we focus on some big, grand bargain then were going to focus on our differences, and both sides are going to require that the other side compromises some core principle and then well get nothing done, Ryan, who chairs the House Budget Committee, said in an interview Thursday. So we arent focusing on a grand bargain because I dont think in this divided government youll get one. But a fellow GOP negotiator, Oklahoma Rep. Tom Cole, said Friday that additional revenue could be part of an agreement. Added Cole: Both sides would like to deal with the sequester. And were willing to put more revenue on the table to do that, and we would like to do it with entitlement savings. Cole was not talking about raising tax rates; one option he mentioned would be to give corporations incentive to repatriate untaxed overseas profits. The reality is, youre going to have to have a deal here, Cole said, appearing on Bloomberg Televisions Political Capital with Al Hunt airing Friday night. And a deal means everybody gives something up.

BEIRUT (AP) Syrian state-run TV reported Friday that the leader of a powerful al-Qaida-linked rebel group has been killed a claim that if confirmed would be a huge blow to fighters trying to topple President Bashar Assad. At least one rebel commander denied the report. Questions remained over whether Abu Mohammad al-Golani, head of Jabhat alNusra, or the Nusra Front, had indeed died. State TV said he was killed in the coastal province of Latakia, but did not say when or give details. Later Friday, it removed the report from its website without explanation. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which closely monitors the fighting in Syria, said senior Nusra Front leaders contacted by activists in Latakia and the eastern Deir el-Zour province denied alGolani had been killed.

I believe that these activities will help me be accepted to a college because it shows Im not afraid to help out and lead, Winhover stated. Heiing helps with various youth sports programs around town and volunteers at the soup kitchen in Lima. Most of my leadership experiences have come through the three sports that I play football, basketball and baseball, Heiing added. I feel that these activities will help me show colleges that I am a well-rounded individual and that there is more to me than just the grades. Corzine explained he was a Boy Scout for six years and has recently helped with the Junior Optimist Club. Kramer currently volunteers for the SADD (Students Against Destructive Decisions) and Junior Optimist organizations. She has also volunteered at the Thrift Shop and plans on helping there on a regular basis when marching band season ends. I have gained a lot of leadership experience through my volunteering and believe the most lasting leadership experience Ive gained is from being a section leader during marching band, Kramer detailed. It has taught me how to successfully lead a group of people through example and cooperation. Kramer feels her volunteer activities will help her get into college since those skills have improved her effectiveness in school. I have learned the value of hard work, leadership skills and people skills, she insisted. These acquired skills have helped me maintain my grades. The students ideal college settings and academic interests vary and at this time, each are in the process of exploring all the variables which will provide the optimum academic environment during their college career. Winhover enjoys English class a great deal and has always been interested in creative writing. She is currently taking an online creative writing class through Lourdes College and has looked into colleges that have creative writing majors/minors. I feel I would like a smaller campus life and at this point; Im not sure, Winhover explained. I have not attended any college fairs and I am signed up for the upcoming Rhodes Career Day. She said she has visited Xavier University, Miami University and Bowling Green State University. I thought Xavier campus was pretty and all of the buildings were close, which I thought was nice, Winhover said. At Miami, I was able to speak to a writing professor and he told me of different jobs that could be pursued with

a creative writing background. Heiing says he is very interested in science and wants to major in pharmacy. My ideal college is not dependent on the size of the college or whether it is public or private, Heiing detailed. What is important are the professors and quality of the education available there. Heiing has not attended any college fairs but will have the opportunity to go to the career day at Rhodes College/ OSU Lima in December. My top two colleges would have to be Ohio Northern University, where my older brother, Logan, takes classes and the University of Illinois-Chicago, Heiing added. I like how Ohio Northern University campus is set up and how the classes arent too far apart. Corzine said he really likes science and math and wants to learn more about biochemistry. I would like to study at Ohio State in Columbus, Corzine added. I have looked at Ohio State, Cincinnati and Dayton universities. After visiting the OSU branch in Lima, Corzine said he liked the class sizes and how the online site works. He was surprised how big the campus actually was. He did not like the commute to the school. Kramer prefers math and science although she is curious about exploring the field of English. She feels a lab or office setting would be ideal for her. As of now, I dont have any college preference, Kramer explained. I suppose price and location will be important attributes when I do choose a college. Although she has not attended any regional college fairs or spoke with any college admission counselors, Kramer plans on attending regional college fairs in the future. She has also been researching colleges online. I plan to apply to many of the local colleges and may even apply to a few colleges further away, Kramer detailed. Each of the students describe their parents as very involved in their college aspirations. By supporting their decisions and encouraging them to challenge themselves, parents remain engaged with their children. Winhovers parents, Carolyn and Jay Winhover, pushed her to visit a few college campuses while the family vacationed this summer. After getting my sister, Nicole, through the whole college application process to attend Bowling Green State University, I think theyre more prepared to help me, Winhover stated. Heiings said his parents, Larry and Deann Heiing, are very involved with his educational goals. They help keep me on track when I am struggling with a class and they are

always there for support if I need any, Heiing detailed. Phil and Sheri Miller, Corzines parents, have been very supportive of his choices. They have let me decide what I want, Corzine said. Kramers parents, Jake and Julie Kramer, are very engaged with their daughter. They constantly encourage me to challenge myself and prepare for college through higher level classes, Kramer said. Winhover took the PSAT (Preliminary Scholastic Assessment Test) her sophomore year and the ACT (American College Testing) plus writing this past June. It may have been a little early to start because I hadnt had all the course content yet but it gave me an idea where I stand, Winhover explained. We are looking into an ACT prep program for this school year. Winhover said that increasing an ACT score a couple of points can often translate into several thousand dollars of scholarships. Heiing said the school offered students the opportunity to take the PSAT on Oct. 15. I reviewed my Plan Test (preliminary ACT) from last year to refresh my memory on the subjects Ive learned throughout high school, Heiing stated. Heiing has not looked into scholarships yet but plans to do so in the near future. Corzine was not sure when he would take the PSAT and said he took the Plan Test his sophomore year. He has began looking into scholarship information, grants and loans. I have started the post-secondary program at the Ohio State University Branch in Lima, he said. Kramer said she took the PSAT on Oct. 15. I prepared for the test by learning test-taking tips and completing practice problems, Kramer added. Ive already taken the ACT and I feel that has helped me prepare for standardized testing. Kramer has been researching scholarships, which is her main reason she took the PSAT. To be eligible, some scholarships require I take the SAT(Scholastic Assessment Test). Kramer detailed. Taking the PSAT will hopefully give me a true idea of the SAT. In addition, Kramer says she is aware of many of the income-based grants and loans she may receive since following Kecia, her older sisters journey of applying for grants and scholarships to attend college. It really gave me a picture of how scholarships and grants work, Kramer said.

There are two different ways to look at the thought of going back to Germany, Thomas said. When I go home, its home, he said. Just to be home, sleep in my bed, eat my moms food and see everyone again will be happy for sure. Then theres the side where Im sad to leave, he continued. Ive found new friends, nice teachers, Im learning new subjects and I want to keep learning. Thomas appreciates the openness of all the people he has met to show him what living here is like and to help him get the most out of his five-month stay. I really like Delphos, Thomas said. Everyone is very welcoming and nice. The friendliest city in America saying fits it well.
