Elida looking to create zoning ordinance planBY CYNTHIA YAHNAHerald Correspondent

[email protected]

ELIDA Mayor Kim Hardy filled Elida Village Council in on a proposed zoning ordinance comprehensive plan for the village. The plan will be used as a snapshot of the village for grant applications, etc.

We have talked about it for five or so years and I have been in touch with Tom Mazur of the Lima-Allen County Regional Planning Commission who is in charge of devising a zoning ordi-nance to do a plan, Hardy said. He will do an overall view of what exists in the village: what is here now and plan towards the future. This is intense and detailed with such items as employee

salaries, soil levels and people in the household, etc. This plan usually takes several months but we are trying to get it done in 5-6 weeks. The reason for doing this is for possible funding for the village in the future.

Local resident Jackson Burklo had some concerns.

I have lived here since 1976 and I have pictures of what the water depart-ment left in my yard and stayed there for two years. This has continued to sink down further each year as a deep hole, Burklo said. I was promised they would come back and fix it and I am still waiting.

I will follow up with Mr. Fessler to see what we can do for you, as the mayor, I will make sure it gets done, Hardy said.

Also, I am 76 years old and the condition of the water is not safe to drink, Burklo continued. I no longer drink the water but need to purchase bottled water and it becomes quite expensive. What is going to be done with the water situation?

Hardy said the matter is being looked into.

We are working with Lima water department and we have met with the EPA about our filtration. We have turned the situation over to an engineer to study who we hope will give us a stamp of approval to put in a different filtration system, Hardy said. It is a thorn in our side right now and all we can do is wait until the engineer gives us the report and what is needed.

Burklo said he was losing patience.

I am going to be back and talk to Mr. Liggett at the EPA office about this if nothing is going to be done, said Burklo.

Hardy said the solutions take time and the village is working on a daily basis to keep the water approved.

We did pass with the EPA this last quarter, Hardy added.

Council member Marv Adams and Claude Paxton voiced their concern about the looping of the water lines, asking where the looping should take place and what would be the cost.

We the council would like to have a report on the looping process. I think that is important that we know all the details, Adams said.

VAN WERT Congressman Bob Latta enjoys meeting with constituents. On Monday he began a series of 10 days of what he calls Courthouse Conferences, filled with individual meetings. The day began in Mercer County, followed by several meet-ings in Van Wert County in the conference room at the County Commissioners Office.

There are two things we do: In the dis-trict, were on the constituent level and in Washington, were at the legislative level but theyre both equal, Latta explained. One of the things we want to be able to do is to be out here to start case work or follow up with case work. A lot of times people want

to talk about whats going on in Washington but a lot of things today are right at the case work level.

The line to speak with the congressman was steady throughout the afternoon hours. Latta noted that these are very important meetings for the people who come to see him.

The Courthouse Conferences you get more issues that people are dealing with Social Security, veterans, Medicare, a lot of the real detailed issues people have, he pointed out. When folks have a problem with the Veterans Administration or with Social Security, those are things that are affecting you right now. When you look at the federal government with $1.9 trillion of regulations, there are a lot of problems you have to cope with and thats what our office is for.

Due to inclement weather, the Downtown Delphos Clean-up Day has been moved to 5-8 p.m. Thursday.

The clean up will start on Main Street and work throughout the downtown area. All volunteers welcome.

The goal is to sweep up the sidewalks, clean up the planters, general trash pick up on side streets, etc. Volunteers will meet in front of the Delphos Herald build-ing at 5 p.m. Bring a broom, leaf blower and gloves.

The city will provide a street sweeper for an early morning follow-up.

DELPHOS Building principals and the district technology coordinator gave updates to Delphos City School Board mem-bers Monday evening.

Principals Mark Fuerst (Franklin and Landeck elementaries), Doug Westrick (Jefferson Middle School) and John Edinger (Jefferson High School) and Technology Coordinator Josh McElroy each spoke on their respective positions, their progress with state mandates and what is coming up in the future.

I have seen more changes in education this year than I think I have seen in the last 30 years, Fuerst began. Our teachers are doing a great job keeping up with everything.

Fuerst said a lot of his buildings focus has been on the Third Grade Guarantee.

Students have to pass this reading test to go on to the fourth grade, Fuerst said. We have four students of 85 that havent passed. We have them tutoring with Sylvan or with us through the A-plus program. They have one more opportunity to pass on July 8. If they dont, they will be held back and repeat the third grade.

Fuerst said he was concerned with the program because he felt the time to hold a child back is in kindergarten, not after they have reached the third grade.

Westrick reported his students were done with testing and 224 kids attended an in-school dance as a reward for meeting certain criteria during the testing weeks.

Edinger reported juniors taking OGT have passed four of the five subjects with science just under the 80 percent required.

BRIEFS 4-Wheel Jamboree Nationals return to Allen County Fairgrounds this weekend


LIMA There is a spirit of rugged individualism that goes along with loving a 4x4 vehicle. The 4x4 gives its owner the freedom to venture off smoothly paved roads made just for transportation to experience the unbridled fun of being challenged by all sorts of difficult terrain. Rising to those challenges by rebuilding stock vehicles with performance, styling and ingenious fabrication in mind is at the heart of the 4x4 lifestyle. More than 2,000 enthusiastic 4x4 owners will descend on the Allen County Fairgrounds in Lima this weekend, Friday- Sunday, for the 29th annual Spring 4-Wheel Jamboree Nationals. It will be a full weekend dedicated to their lifestyle their passion.

These 4-wheel-drive enthusiasts may be rugged indi-vidualists, but they are not loners. In fact, one of the key reasons why they bring their families to the 4-Wheel Jamboree is to re-connect with fellow enthusiasts they have met along the way, perhaps at previous Jamborees (or Jambos as they are often called). They enjoy getting together to share their stories of the back roads and off roads. They like to see the latest innovations available to help their vehicles conquer obstacles. They also like tak-ing in the non-stop, all-day entertainment of the Jamboree included with the affordable admission price.

In addition, thousands of spectators not bringing vehicles will experience the 4x4 lifestyle at the Allen County Fairgrounds. Spectators will find that the all-day-all-weekend 4-Wheel Jamboree nationals is a real family entertainment value at a time when everyone is pinching pennies.

Tressel signs on as Youngstown State president

YOUNGSTOWN (AP) Former Ohio State University football coach Jim Tressel has signed on to be the ninth president of Youngstown State University, where he started his college coaching career.

Youngstowns Board of Trustees and Tressel on Monday signed a letter of understanding identifying key terms of a contract through June 2017. The deal calls for a $300,000 annual salary the first two years and a salary based on performance the third year.

The contract begins July 1. The university says it will be negotiated and approved later.

Youngstown board chair Sudershan Garg says the university looks forward to Tressels leadership.

Tressel had been an admin-istrator at the University of Akron the past two years and was a finalist for its presiden-cy. He was forced out at Ohio State after players sold memo-rabilia for cash and tattoos.

New law allows free samples of beer, wine

COLUMBUS (AP) A new state law will allow Ohio retailers to hand out free samples of beer and wine.

Existing state law allows sam-pling of beer, wine and spirits at retailer such as grocery stores and wine shops, but customers have to pay for their samples.

The Dayton Daily News reports that the new measure which takes effect July 10 allows retailers to host free tast-ings. But it preserves a minimum 50-cents-per-sample charge for liquor stronger than 42 proof.

State Sen. Jim Hughes, a Columbus Republican who spon-sored the legislation, says the law will lead to more sales, more state revenue and ultimately aid in job creation.

11,800 measles/mumps vaccines distributed

COLUMBUS (AP) Ohio health officials have distributed more than 11,800 doses of vaccines to try to stem recent outbreaks of mea-sles and mumps in the state.

The state epidemiologist, Mary DiOrio, said Tuesday that around half of those mea-sles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccines have been adminis-tered.

There have been 68 measles cases reported in six counties, mostly among unvaccinated individuals in the Amish community. She says its the largest outbreak in the U.S. since 1996.

Officials say it began with unvaccinated travelers who visited the Philippines, which has had a measles epidemic. Ohio counties reporting mea-sles have received 11,200 of the doses.

Officials say the mumps outbreak that started in central Ohio in January has reached 342 cases, mostly in Franklin County. The state has sent out 640 doses to counties with mumps cases.

Official: Addiction epidemic filling prisonsCOLUMBUS (AP)

The states drug addiction epidemic is thwarting efforts to reduce the inmate popu-lation through changes to sentencing laws, the Ohio prisons director said Tuesday during budget testimony.

Judges trying to keep low-level offenders out of prison are forced to take action after seeing an offender relapse several times, the prisons official, Gary Mohr, told the Senate Finance Committee.

They kept coming back, and at some point in time, judges said, I have to vacate this probation and send you to prison, Mohr said.

Ohio has struggled for years with illegal painkiller sales and abuse, and more recently with heroin addic-tion, as users turn to the cheaper, more available drug. Police chiefs across the state say addiction to painkillers and heroin is driving a rash of thefts, burglaries and other crimes.

The most recent state data says 680 people died of heroin overdoses in 2012, up from 426 deaths in 2011, a 60 percent increase. The heroin increase also drove the overall number of fatal drug overdoses to a record of 1,272 deaths in 2012, up from 1,154 the previous year.

The Depar tment of Rehabilitation and

Correction is asking law-makers for an extra $14 million this year and $40 million next year to reopen closed units at two pris-on, take steps to address violence at the Toledo Correctional Institution, add parole officers because of the growing population and boost medical and men-tal health staffing.

Of that, $4.2 million this year and $8.5 million next year would pay for an addi-tional 400 beds statewide in halfway houses and local corrections facilities to keep people close to home and out of prison.

Ohio currently has 50,250 inmates, 2,500 more than estimates from a 2011 law meant to reduce the inmate population, Mohr said.

The state has too many low-level offenders, with 42 percent of inmates serv-ing less than a year and nearly one in every four inmates being truly non-violent prisoners, he said.

Many of these offend-ers could be more effective-ly punished in a community setting, thereby remaining employed, paying taxes, and supporting their fami-lies, as opposed to sending them to prison at a cost of nearly $23,000 a year, Mohr said.

Theres reason for opti-

mism in Ohios big cities as prison alternatives like halfway houses are work-ing, with the need for such programs highest in rural areas, he said.

A provision in the 2011 sentencing law tied judges hands when it came to imprisoning first-time low-level offenders, and that alone would not have reduced the popula-tion that much, said Mark Schweikert, director of the Ohio Judicial Conference. But he said theres no ques-tion the painkiller and her-oin epidemic is countering the intentions of the law.

In some cases, its an attempt to save a persons life, Schweikert said of sentences imposed by judg-es. They continue to use and the only way they can keep the person drug-free for a considerable period of time is send them to prison.

VAN WERT Time is closing in on Primary Election Day on May 6. The Van Wert County Republicans held a luncheon for the party faithful Friday at Willow Bend Country Club featuring Ohio Rep. Tony Burkley as speaker.

Burkley, a former Paulding Coun-ty commissioner, has represented the 82nd House District since win-ning the seat in the 2012 election. He is facing a primary challenge from Brett Eley of Wapakoneta. Burkley was not the only candidate on hand since Ohio State Senate 1st District candidate Milo Schaffner also at-tended.

Burkley updated the crowd with

the latest from the Statehouse, but admitted that most of his conversa-tions lately have centered around the school calamity days bill that was finally approved by both the State House and State Senate this week. Burkley noted that he expects Gov. Kasich to sign the bill into law soon. He had introduced the bill in the House Education Committee, but got little support until Kasich announced his support for a calamity day bill. After that, the bill passed the com-mittee and the House, but stalled in the State Senate for a couple of weeks while agreements were made between the two houses. Assuming Kasich signs the bill, school districts will get four additional calamity days this year, provided the district has held classes on four other sched-uled days off, such as holidays or

during vacations.There were some tense moments

trying to get this through, but even-tually we got it through and its a re-ality today. Burkley shared.

During the speech, Burkley also pointed out that the improvements in the states economic situation.

George Mason University came out with their study and ranking of all the states and their fiscal condi-tion. When Gov. Kasich took of-fice, Ohio was really in dire straits. The latest George Mason Univer-sity study revealed that Ohio now is ranked seventh in overall fiscal con-dition. I think we were 46th in fis-cal condition three years ago, and to make that jump to seventh is really quite tremendous, Burkley noted.

Burkley speaks to county Republicans

Gehres family to be honored at Beacon of Hope eventTIMES BUllETIN STAff [email protected]

VAN WERT For the 16th time, Com-munity Health Professionals will host The Hospice Beacon of Hope Dinner/Auction. The April 3 event will honor the late Glenn D. Gehres.

The Beacon of Hope is an evening of remembrance, fun and awareness with a meal, live and silent auction items with auc-tioneer, Bob Gamble and laughter and fun with emcee, Rick Small of Mix 98.1 FM, as well as the recognition of three local busi-nesses.

The family of the late Glenn D. Gehres of Convoy has been named to present the Beacon of Hope lighthouse in memory of past hospice patients. Gehres worked as a material handler at Eaton Corporation in Van Wert and was a member of Convoy United Methodist Church. He loved the out-doors, whether it was tending his yard and garden, deer hunting, fishing in his pond or bird hunting with his dog, Duke. He was most comfortable in the woods or playing with his grandchildren.

Gehres received care from CHPs hos-pice program before passing in September 2013 at the Van Wert Inpatient Hospice Center at the age of 54.

The Hospice Center will display the Gehres family lighthouse, along with those presented in past years. The lighthouse symbolizes hope, comfort and support pro-vided by hospice when a loved one is facing a life-limiting illness.

Three area businesses will be recog-

nized as Friends of Hospice for their continued support: Custom Assembly, Inc., Elmco Engineering and Van Wert Moose Lodge #1320. Through the backing of these and other local businesses, groups and peo-ple, CHP Hospice can help local patients and families through its patient care fund.

The dinner and auction is slated to be-gin at 6 p.m. at Willow Bend Country Club in Van Wert on Thursday, April 3. Dinner reservations are due by March 28. The Bea-con of Hope Dinner/Auction is the main fundraising event for the nonprofit hospice program.

BY DAN SEWEllAssociated Press

CINCINNATI (AP) Nearly 30 Ohio legislators and two civil liber-ties groups are backing a motorists challenge to traffic cameras thats go-ing before the Ohio Supreme Court.

Among the lawmakers are Reps. Dale Mallory, D-Cincinnati, and Ron Maag, R-Lebanon, who are pushing legislation to ban or sharply restrict camera use in the state. The American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio and the 1851 Center for Con-stitutional Law filed legal briefs this week urging the states high court to rule in favor of a motorist who said

the city of Toledo usurped the judi-cial system and violated his constitu-tional rights to due process.

The brief filed by the 1851 Center is joined by 29 state legislators who say traffic enforcement systems, in which administrative hearings are used to hear appeals by ticketed mo-torists, attempt to circumvent and thwart the state legislatures powers as well as the courts.

The city of Toledos automated traffic camera ordinance attempts to exact property from Ohio drivers through administrative hearing offi-cers, without access to an elected and accountable judge or a judge autho-rized by the states duly elected and

accountable legislators, the legal brief states.

It makes sense that legislators would intervene and try to defend their own constitutional powers, said Andrew Mayle, a Fremont attor-ney who represents the driver in the Toledo case.

Other Ohio cities including Cleveland, Columbus and Dayton that use cameras for traffic enforce-ment have filed briefs in support of Toledo. The Ohio Municipal League stated that the case could potentially affect every Ohioan who drives or owns a vehicle.

Each student will volunteer part time at an organization pertaining to his or her major. In addition to attending lectures about issues such as public housing, affirmative action and education, students will survey Chicagos culture through live perfor-mances.

Ebbeskotte is a junior at Bluffton, where he is double majoring in accounting and business administration. He is a 2011 graduate of Jefferson.

This experience will fulfill Blufftons undergraduate cross-cultural requirement that must be completed before graduation. Students can either complete a cross-cultural experience or take six credit hours in one foreign language.

Bluffton University is a liberal arts, residential campus with more than 80 undergraduate majors, minors and pro-grams; a bachelors degree evening program in social work for working adults; and an adult degree-completion program in organizational management.

Soybeans help teachers connect students to careers


WORTHINGTON How can soybeans help Ohio teach-ers connect students to chal-lenging and rewarding careers in agriculture, food science, engineering, biotechnology, chemistry and more? The answer is GrowNextGen.org. GrowNextGen offers STEM-based curriculum, interactive e-learning courses, career videos and the ability to network with other Ohio teachers.

The Ohio Soybean Council and soybean checkoff recently launched this program and web-site in an effort to showcase real-world applications of math and science to soybeans and agri-culture. It provides unique tools and resources for Ohio teachers, some of whom are already tak-ing advantage of this opportu-nity.

GrowNextGen.org provides lessons with real-world applica-tions that meet standards in my curriculum, said Jane Hunt, a teacher at Upper Arlington High School in Franklin County. My students are more engaged when I use these resources. They see the lessons as relevant to their lives and their futures.

Vantage students awarded for perfect attendanceInformation submitted

VAN WERT In high schools around the area (and the rest of the country, too), its that time of the year for awards ceremonies, baccalaureates and graduations. Vantage Career Center recently had the opportunity to congratulate 17 seniors who had perfect attendance this year; thats just about 12 percent of the senior class. More incredible is that seven of these students had perfect attendance for the entire two years they attended Vantage.

To honor these students, a Senior Perfect Attendance Luncheon was held. Superintendent Staci Kaufman spoke to the students about their outstanding accom-plishment. Darrell Miller, Vantage atten-dance officer, congratulated the students and reminded them that employers always ask about or check on a students attendance even before inviting them for an interview.

Students with perfect attendance realize that school is their first and most important job. Theyre learning how to show up for school on time every day, so that when they graduate and get a job, theyll know how to show up for work on time every day. Students who attend school regularly are more likely to graduate and find good jobs. In fact, a high school graduate makes, on average, a half million dollars more than a dropout over a lifetime.

Many of these students are active in their

home school activities and hold down part-time jobs after school and on the weekends.

After lunch, each student was given a certificate to be included in their Career Passport that will document their perfect attendance for future employers.

Vantage seniors with perfect atten-dance for two years are: Shana Brincefield, Senior Cosmetology (Lincolnview); Thad Carter, Senior Industrial Mechanics (Van Wert); Layna Mihm, Senior Medical Office Management (Van Wert); Austin Ricker, Senior Precision Machining (Kalida); Alyssa Romero, Senior Cosmetology (Antwerp); Wyatt Saam, Senior Precision Machining (Lincolnview); and Ben Schnipke, Senior Carpentry (Ottoville).

Seniors with perfect attendance for this school year are: Bryan Buck, Senior Building & Grounds (Delphos Jefferson); Regan Cunningham, Senior Cosmetology (Continental); LaShawne Granger, Senior Cosmetology (Van Wert); Brooke Hesseling, Senior Health Technology (Delphos Jefferson); Nathan Hooker, Senior Network Systems (Continental); Adam Jurczyk, Senior Auto Body (Van Wert); Clirissa McMonigal, Senior Auto Body (Continental); Quintin Mengerink, Junior Ag and Industrial Power Tech (Van Wert); Haley Sinning, Junior Health Technology (Van Wert); and Jereka Spieth, Senior Culinary Arts (Crestview).

Congratulations on a job well done, seniors!

Pain Doctor Discovers Blood Flow-Busting Material Into Miracle Socksfor Diabetics and Foot Pain Sufferers!Breakthrough circulation-boosting fibers improve blood flow, relieve swelling,

boost oxygen flow, and eliminate foot fatigue - naturally in as little as 5 minutes!

Being Diabetic, I never had pain-free feet - UNTILNOW!paid advertisement

What part of your swollen, tired,or achy feet would you like to seego-away?

If you suffer from poor circula-tion, injury, swelling or any condi-tion that leaves your feet fatiguedand sore, then read on to discoverthe breakthrough that can changeyour life.

Good news comes in the form ofa pain-busting microfiber that isused to weave a circulation-boost-ing sock, called BambusaTM.

Better Blood FlowThe miracle sock is made from

a new, patented anion-technologythat is weaved into every strand ofthread used to make a BambusaTM

sock. This special micro-fiberthread is made from revolutionarybamboo charcoal to stimulateblood flow andrevitalize feet.When this material comes in con-tact with body-heat it is proven torelease circulation-boosting ions.

The 3D-weave technology usedin the material has been comparedto infrared light therapy to help re-vitalize stiff and sore muscles. Themanufacturer, who also makes aback and wrist sleeve, says the ma-terial provides almost instant reliefto any part of the body it touches,making it ideal for diabetics, ath-letes,inflammation, stiffness andswelling.

Anne M. from California agrees.Bambusa socks are absolutely themost comfortable socks I have everworn! My feet are no longer fa-tigued!

TherapyWithout A Prescription!When the socks were pho-

tographed using a thermographicimaging camera, results showed upto a 17% to 22% increase in bloodflow. This helped to improvemus-cle oxygenation and decrease footfatigue. The socks have been provento provide extended relief fromcold, swollen and fatigued feet.

DoctorRecommended

Pain specialistof 30 years, Dr.Jahner commentson the 3D-weavetechnology. In-frared therapy hasbeen used foryears at medical

clinics to treat vascular and circula-tory conditions. Physical therapistsuse infrared therapy to speed re-covery. Better blood flow equalsless pain. This microfiber worksmuch the same way.

"Circulatory dysfunction affectsMOST of the adult population inthe United States. Heart Disease,Strokes and Diabetic conditions areat epidemic levels; anything thatimproves circulation improves cel-lular health and vitality. I use theBambusa product myself and rec-ommend it to my clients. It reallyworks! states Dr Jahner.

My feet felt wonderful,cool, and I never got that pins andneedles feeling anymore. I love myBambusaTM socks, says Nancy,from NJ.

They are ideal for diabetics andthose suffering from neuropathy orinjury from repetitive use. Bam-busaTM socks can also bring com-fort to tired legs within minutes ofputting them on, energizing indi-viduals who spend long hours ontheir feet.

ent foot problems for years and no-ticed fast results. The issue for mewas persistent numbness in mytoes - it was gone completely aftera few days of wearing these socks!Being diabetic, I never had pain-free feet - UNTILNOW!

People of all ages who are generally inactive can improve their health and well-being by becoming active at a moderate-intensity rate on a regular basis. Being physically active helps to control weight; contributes to healthy bones, muscles and joints; helps to relieve the pain of arthritis; reduces symptoms of anxiety and depression; and is associated with fewer hospitalizations, physician visits and medications.Physical activity does not need to be strenuous

to be beneficial; people of all ages benefit from participating in regular, moderate-intensity physical activity, such as 30 minutes of brisk walking five or more times a week. Adding activity to your daily routine will make you feel more energetic.Children and adults should do 30 minutes or more

of moderate physical activity each day. You can do 30 minutes all at once or 10 minutes at a time, three times a day. If you are not used to being active, start out slowly and work up to 30 minutes a day.

your fingertips on your shoulders, elbows pointing out to the sides. Pull your elbows back as far as you can. Push your elbows forward and try to touch them together. Repeat 10 times. Now, keeping your fingertips on your shoulders, lift your elbows up and then push them down to your sides, as if you are trying to fly. Repeat 10 times. The apple pickerStretch your arms up, one at a time, as high as you can,

as if you were trying to pick an apple from a tree. Repeat 10 times, alternating sides. KangarooSit erect in a chair. Raise your arms so that your elbows

are flared in an outward position and your hands are at shoulder level in front of your body. Keep your hands at shoulder level and push your elbows as high as you can, isolating the pressure on your shoulders. Repeat 10-15 times. Perform the first few slowly and smoothly; the next few faster and more intensely, and then slow the pace again.
