Residents take Road 5 concerns to Congressman Latta By Jared Denman Staff Writer OTTAWA — Road 5 residents, frustrated by what is perceived as malaise regarding their concerns about the Road 5 widening project, gathered in the courthouse assembly hall yesterday to voice concerns to Congressman Bob Latta who was in town for his annual Courthouse Conference. Latta assured his constituents that he would do what he could to answer their questions. Residents questioned the necessity, transparency and safety of a project that began 12 years ago and seeks

to widen Road 5 from SR 613 to SR 12 and is projected to cost approximately $10 million. The commissioners and county engineers maintain that they are fulfilling their official duties by addressing the truck traffic that is currently using Road 5 to get freight to industries in Leipsic. Andy Borgelt, a Pandora resident since 2007 who lives 24 feet from Road 5, believes the project is unnecessary and is concerned about a lack of forthcoming information from county offices. “It's going to cost

some $4 million [for projected construction costs]. As Marilyn [Horstman] said, is it necessary to do this? The truckers already have state routes, they just have to take a little longer,” Borgelt stated. Marilyn Horstman, who became aware of Road 5 when her father, Bert Nienberg, was approached by an agent from Mannik & Smith, the firm contracted by the county to make the monetary offers to purchase the additional right-of-way required for the project, also questions the process by which Road 5 was selected.

“How can it cost $9.7 million in the Poggemeyer study to use a state route? How can that be? That was one of the criteria to throw that route out as a designated route because of the cost,” Horstman asked referring to a report that was contracted by the county to study the feasibility of different routes to the Leipsic industrial park. “Commissioners, and others, say we can't keep them from doing this. Somebody can. I simply refuse to believe that nobody can do anything about this because ➤➤See RESIDENTS/A9

receives low Local girl donates hair after losing her Ottawa bids for street repairs mother to cancer By Cortney Mumaugh Sentinel Correspondent OTTAWA – Most 10-year-old little girls love their hair. They worry about it looking good all the time; and this falls true for many women as well. Kaylynn Baughman is wise beyond her years in this respect. Kaylynn has cut off most of her hair, not once, but twice in her short life to fulfill a higher purpose. Kaylynn’s story began when her mom, Robin, was diagnosed with breast cancer and lost her hair. Unfortunately, Robin lost her battle with cancer in 2010. Since her mom’s death, Kaylynn has donated her hair two times to Locks of Love. Locks of Love is a nonprofit organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children who are under the age of 21. Locks of Love do not provide their services exclusively to children with cancer, but any child who has lost their hair. Sarah, Kaylynn’s stepmother, said that Kaylynn has set a great example for her little sister Mattie who

also wants to donate her hair to Locks of Love. “I’m extremely proud of her, as a 10-year-old, to think enough about someone else to (donate her hair), especially since she’s donated it twice and she’s only 10. Most little girls her age want their hair. Right away, right after she cut it off, she said ‘Okay, I want to do it again.’ I thought that was pretty cool,” said Sarah. Kaylynn hopes to be able to make her donations an annual event by donating her hair every year. Locks of Love is always in need of hair donations. Donations are needed from men, women; young, old,; from all races and colors. Hair that has been bleached will not be accepted but colored hair is OK. The longest layer of hair must be at least 10 inches long and be bundled in a ponytail or braid before it is sent in. The hair must be in a plastic bag before it is mailed to the donation center. After Kaylynn received her haircut, Sarah asked the stylist for a bag for the hair

as they were leaving the salon. “At first she didn’t think she had one. Then she remembered she had a bag laying on a counter and gave that to us. When we got in the car, we looked at the bag and it was a Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Awareness bag. It had a big

breast cancer awareness symbol on it. It was a Godwink; that’s what we call it. It was really neat because she was doing it for her mom,” said Sarah. For more information on Locks of Love please visit www.locksoflove.org, or call toll free at 888-896-1588.

By Marlena Ballinger Managing Editor OTTAWA — During its regular meeting, Ottawa village council addressed a resident’s concern regarding the time village employees spend to attend the council meetings. John Salsburey, former candidate for village council during the 2011 November election, questioned the village on whether employees were compensated for attending council meetings. Specifically, Salsburey questioned by email to a village clerk, whether “Dan Laymen, Jeff Heringhaus and Ken Siefker were being compensated for attending council meetings.” Council president Tim Macke said that employees were not paid to attend the council meetings. Jeff Heringhaus, water treatment plant operator, responded by letter to Salsburey that he utilizes his lunch breaks to attend the council meetings. “I choose to attend the council meetings to gain information,” Heringhaus responded in his letter. Separately, council approved a bid from Ward Construction for the 2012 Street project. The bid

for the project came in at $601,767.25 which turned out to be almost $400,000 under budget. Jack Williams, municipal director, was pleased with the low bid and said the village should be able to complete all the streets within the next two years. He said the money to pay for the street repairs has come from a bond issue and must be used by the end of 2013. In other matters, Jeff Loehrke again requested a signature from the mayor to approve a letter from Los Mariachis, an Ottawa restaurant, who asked to transfer a liquor license from a closed business in Ohio. During the last council meeting, council asked Loehrke to find answers as to whether the license would stay with the business or with the village. Joe Schroeder, law director, advised council that if the business were to close, the license would then be released to the state of Ohio at which time it would be available for another business. Council agreed to sign a letter that will begin the proceeding for the restaurant to ➤➤See OTTAWA/A9

In The News Hanna’s favorite part of job is being with the students A2

Wednesday, March 14, 2012

By Sandy Langhals Sentinel Correspondent OTTAWA — It is interesting how individuals seem to know, at a young age, that they want to be a teacher and work in the education field. This holds true for OttawaGlandorf’s High School Principal, Bill Hanna. When he was in seventh grade, he had a history teacher who made a great impression on him and helped him to realize that he wanted to teach also. “I really enjoyed having him and he was just a good guy and I thought, ‘I think I want to do what Mr. Hall does,’ so I became a teacher.” After graduating from high school, he attended Wittenberg University near Springfield. He says that his brother went to college there and after visiting him he decided that he liked it and wanted to attend there also. He began his career in education as a health teacher in Perrysburg where he taught for nine years. He talks about how, at that time, the boys and girls were in separate classes. “I had one class of about 40 girls and then I had all the boys in a different class. It was a lot different, especially when you started into teenage girl health and stuff. But, it was fun and I enjoyed it a lot,”

Putnam County Sentinel

he states. From there, he went to Fostoria and worked for three years as an assistant principal in the middle school. A better opportunity presented itself and he advanced to become the principal at North Central Local Schools middle school for one year and then moved up to become their high school Principal for another five years. Hanna shares that he started his Master’s degree when he was teaching at Perrysburg. “From that point on, I started applying for jobs and I got the Fostoria assistant principal’s job over there and then it just snowballed,” he laughs. He has 17 years of experience at Ottawa-Glandorf High School where he started in the 1995-96 school year. Being a principal is rewarding to Hanna because he can be out in the school and see the students. “You are even more involved than you think. A lot of times people think that you just sit in your office and do paperwork. But we’re out and about going to things and going to activities. I’ve always enjoyed going to the athletic events, choir and band, so it’s just fun. You keep active,” he says. His position keeps him very busy. A big part of his

arpet C k c o t -s New In Daily g n i v i r Ar

job is to get new ideas and programs to bring back to the teachers. He also has to make sure that the teachers and school are up-to-date on the different standards that are always changing at the state level. “Primarily it is the academic end that is my main responsibility.” Hanna discusses a new program Ottawa-Glandorf participates in called, “Lead the Way.” This is a national engineering program that is basically pre-engineering to help high school students determine if engineering might be a career option for them. “The first level is pretty much just real basic; it’s CAD [Computer-aided Design]. It just gets you into the different software. Then in the second level they go more into depth. Then we have an individual from Rhodes that’s teaching our third level and that’s engineering design. Then next year, he’s going to be teaching our fourth level. We haven’t gotten through all four years yet. We’re still in our infancy stage and still working our way through,” he shares. Another new program that began this school year is the Bio-Med program. “It’s just a more in-depth thing for kids that go into the medical field. We’ve had a lot of kids become doctors and

also nurses. So, when that came about he thought, ‘we need to get into that.’ Our teacher is really enthusiastic about it. She says it’s a really great program. It’s a lot more hands on and that’s the way it is in Lead the Way. They do more hands on things than just listen to a person talk. And then they walk away with skills.” Even further, he says they have a couple of students that get to go out with the rescue squad. He believes the Bio-Med program is a great way for students to know if they want to work in the medical field or not. As principal, he shares that he gets to be more involved with the entire school rather than just one classroom or area. He organizes department meetings, attends board meetings and “the other thing I get to do is put out fires. We don’t have

major ones but just little things that if they don’t get taken care of we’re going to have problems down the road,” he laughs. His favorite part of the job is being around the students. “Most people hate lunchroom duty but I really don’t mind going down to lunch because I give the kids a hard time,” he chuckles. He likes to get after them about small stuff like running in the halls because he likes to tease them. “It makes it a lot more fun. It’s one reason why I went into education because I enjoy the kids. They keep you young,” he smiles. His least favorite part of the job is when he has to discipline the students. “You don’t want to but if they do something wrong, you have to.” Hanna explains that he has been in education for

35 years and with the incentive offered to retire after 35 years and uncertain changes in STRS, he has decided to retire at the end of this school year. “It’s just more enticing to go now. I just plan on working on doing other things.” He shares that he is the Treasurer of Northwest District Athletic Board, which is like a parttime job. He plans to devote more time to them and do some volunteer work at a local food pantry. “I like to stay active.” In addition, he has a son that is the Athletic Director at Bluffton High School, who also coaches basketball. He plans to spend some time going to his games and watching him coach. Hanna resides in Ottawa with his wife Jean. They have two grown children Alex and Mollie.

New ladder truck proposed for county By Marlena Ballinger Managing Editor OTTAWA — Ottawa’s fire chief, Dan Rieman spoke to Ottawa village council regarding a proposed countywide levy that, if passed, could pay for a new, countywide ladder truck. A new ladder truck is estimated to cost around $1.5 million. Rieman asked for the village’s help because he said that the village stands to benefit the most from the truck. He said the intent is for the truck to be housed in Ottawa and the Ottawa fire department will maintain the truck and its equipment.

“The truck will be a county-wide truck and when a structure fire occurs, the truck will be called out,” he said. Annual maintenance, according to Rieman, stands to cost the Ottawa fire department approximately $4,000 per year. Rieman said Glandorf will also be asked for funding because they will also benefit from having a ladder truck housed so close to Glandorf. Rieman stated that the two village’s ISO ratings will remain in good standing because of the new truck.

An ISO rating is a rating given to municipalities by insurance companies based on the safety equipment within a certain distance of the village. The closer viable equipment is, the lower the rating, which in turn, lowers home owners’ insurance for residents. Rieman said at this time he is not asking for any money from the village but if the plan to purchase a new truck becomes a reality, he would like for them to consider giving around $100,000 over a five year period. He said right now he is

“planting a seed” while a committee is trying to figure out the total cost for a new ladder truck and two rescue vehicles for county-wide use. Currently, the ladder truck in Ottawa was manufactured around 1979 and is worth about $12,000. The village paid approximately $250,000 when they purchased the truck. The proposed levy, if approved, could be placed on the November ballot. The committee will have a definitive answer by the end of June.

Letters to the Editor O-G Band Boosters thank community To the editor: The Ottawa-Glandorf Band Boosters wish to thank the communities of Ottawa and Glandorf for their support of March Music Madness, a fundraiser to raise monies for the boosters’ “new uniform fund”. This first-time event featured the talents of O-G junior high and high school musicians, a silent auction, and light refreshments and hors d’oeuvres served by the student musicians. Thanks to the support of area businesses and attendance by parents, grandparents and friends of the band, the boosters were able to “jump-start” their fundraising efforts toward the purchase of the new uniforms that will be premiered in the Fall 2012 marching season. The boosters would also like to thank local radio celebrity, Eric Seiwert, aka “The Big Kahuna” for sharing his talents as master of ceremonies for the evening’s activities. Contributions are continuing to be received and may be forwarded to Booster Treasurer, Nancy Haughn at 180 Eastowne Drive, Ottawa, or deposited into a special uniform account at First Federal Bank, Ottawa.

Guest Column

Celebrating Farmers During Ohio Ag Week Representative Lynn Wachtmann Agriculture is Ohio’s number one business, generating about $98 billion each year and employing one in seven Ohioans. During the week of March 1117, we are called to recognize Ohio farmers and the vital role agriculture plays in strengthening our economy. Ohio Agriculture Week, instituted by the governor last year, was created to honor the men and women who work tirelessly to feed Ohio families. Approximately 75,000 farms grace Ohio’s landscape, accounting for almost 11 million acres of cropland, according to 2010 statistics from the US Department of Agriculture. The 75th Ohio House District, containing Paulding, Van Wert, Henry, Putnam and a small portion of Defiance counties, is a major contributor to these statistics and overall crop yield in the state. This area contains more than 3,600 farms and greater than 1 million acres of farmland. Putnam, Henry and Paulding counties all rank in the top six in the state for wheat yield, producing about 6.8 million bushels of wheat per year,

according to the USDA. Van Wert County ranks eighth in soybean production at more than 5 million bushels annually. Agriculture also plays a substantial role in developing other sectors of the economy. Farmers create and sustain thousands of jobs through agriculture’s supply chain. Truckers, mechanics, scientists, retail markets, butchers and countless others benefit from the many components that comprise modern agriculture. This chain of supply not only generates prosperity for other industries, but also builds cohesion within the market. Agriculture is vital to sustaining countless other aspects of our free market economy. It is easy to take agriculture for granted when you only reap its rewards, but for those who work long days and nights to put food on our tables, the commitment and sacrifice is very real. Farmers are not the overall-wearing, antiquated images of the past, but are modern scientists and business-minded individuals who drive our economy forward and create jobs in difficult times.

“Spring forward, fall back” is a saying I use to remember which way to move the clock this time of year. I love the fact that it requires us to have longer days in terms of sunlight. I definitely feel more energized during the summer evening when I have plenty of sunshine left after I come home from work. I do not like the fact that I lose an hour during the week because I do not have an hour to spare in my day. For about two days, the change completely throws my internal clock amuck. Apparently, I am not the only one who feels this way. According to an article in the Los Angeles Times, the time change throws a lot of people off and can even cause a heart attack. My good friend, The Big Kahuna, tipped me off this week by posting some facts on his Facebook page that reflect the effects on certain people concerning daylight savings time. One effect is an increase in traffic accidents. The LA Times reported that this

ing people to call them in advance to ensure they set their clocks ahead. So, next year when I call you a couple of days before daylight savings time, do not get angry with me. I’m simply following someone’s advice. On a more serious note, the article attributed auto accidents to the fact that the sunlight is in your face on your drive home from work. Let’s fix that by remembering to pack your sunglasses. The study, reported on by

losing an hour or maybe it’s a mere coincidence. Daylight savings time was implemented after WWII as a way to save energy by allowing people to have more daylight in the evening hours with the added benefit for Americans to enjoy longer days in the warmer months. Critics question whether the process really does saves energy and if it causes more trouble than it’s worth. I like the change because I’m not a morning person

and enjoy the longer, lighted evenings. But let’s look at someone who is a morning person. Maybe they would like to have light earlier in the morning. The LA Times wrote an additional article contesting this very thing. The article stated that the website called, www.standardtime.com contests that the American time change causes great confusion with other countries because it makes it difficult for businesses to coordinate time tables in Europe, Asia and Africa. Owners of the site feel that it should be one way or the other and America should either have daylight savings time year round or not at all. Again, I love having more daylight after work and I guess in order to reap the benefits of daylight savings time we are going to have to muddle through a couple of days of “being off” while our bodies adjust. But, do not take a nap during those times because as the article suggested, you must force your body into this new time line.

Remember When By Helen Kaverman 12 March 1937 For the second time in a week Putnam County felt the tremors of an earthquake which aroused the interest of citizens in five states: Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois and Kentucky. The last of the “quivers” took place early Tuesday morning at 12:45. The tremors which were felt locally were more severe and lasted longer than those which took place on Tuesday morning of the previous week. Beds shook, windows rattled and pictures on the walls quivered. Some people even reported cracks in the plaster on the walls. Rev. Victor Stechschulte, a Putnam County native, is a seismologist at Xavier University in Cincinnati. He reported these two quakes were the first earth movements in Ohio since Oct. 31, 1935. The Leipsic High School superintendent, manager of the Putnam County Basketball Tournament reported that the profits on the tournament have been distributed to the various schools taking part in the event. This season attracted the largest crowd in Putnam County his-

tory. Leipsic received 30 percent. Other schools received from 68.76 to 107.48. Ottoville remains in the tournament for the next round. Columbus Grove and Continental bowed out in Defiance over the weekend. The holders of waivers on funds at the Leipsic Bank will be paid a 10 percent dividend. The bank will be open in the evening from 7-9 to accommodate those who can’t present their claims during the day. A cold spell hit the county. The temperature hit a low of 4 above 0 this Thursday morning. W. E. Davis, former citizen of Ottawa sent in his $1.50 for his Sentinel subscription. He has been a reader for 60 years. 16 March 1962 Two Deshler men were shot by the Leipsic Marshall when caught in the act of burglarizing the Leipsic elevator. The Putnam County birth rate is above the national average. 814 babies were born in Putnam County during the year ending 1 January 1960, not including the ones born locally to non-residents. The Glandorf High School Dragons, coached

by Tom Weber, advanced further than any previous Glandorf team. They won their first district game in Lima but were defeated by Coldwater 64-58 in the second game. Miller City had no trouble winning in the Tiffin District and gained their second regional berth in 13 years. New county tournament rules have been approved. No teams will play two consecutive nights during their first two rounds and all games will be played on neutral floors. The consolation and championship games will be played this year in Delphos. Twelve Putnam County 4-H Advisors will be honored for their service at a recognition luncheon in Columbus Thursday. They were: R. A. Druyor, 25 years; Leon Schey, 15; Al Lucke and Neil Allspach, 10 years and 5 years for the following: Viola Doepker, Mrs. Neal Ward, Mrs. Philip Schimmoeller, Rita Turnwald, Mrs. Hugo Hoersten, Mrs. Wallace Lugibihl, Mrs. Rolland Mansfield and Louise Litten. 11 March 1987 Members of 42 Putnam County Girl Scout troops gathered at the Putnam County Court House in

By Helen Kaverman Sentinel Columnist Ottawa last Thursday afternoon to celebrate their 75th Anniversary with a special “Promise Circle”. Jack Fought, 29, of Ottawa has achieved the black belt rank in Okinawan Kempo Karate. A report from the Iowa University Extension nutritionist stated that the lowly potato is really a veggie prince. She noted that a five ounce potato has only 110 calories and five ounces of roasted chicken has three times that many. In regard to carbs, complex carbohydrates, like the ones found in potatoes, release their energy more slowly, keeping your blood sugar steadier. Also a medium size potato provides half the daily requirement of vitamin C, not to mention significant amounts of vitamin B-6, iodine, thiamin and iron. Besides there’s dietary fiber in the peeling. So much for Veggie Prince Potato.

Editorials from around Ohio

By The Associated Press Excerpts of recent editorials of statewide and national interest from Ohio newspapers: The Columbus Dispatch, March 12 Double-dipping, in which public employees can “retire” to collect their full pension, then immediately be rehired to their old job and continue collecting a salary on top of their pension, rightly draws the ire of taxpayers, most of whom have no prospect of ever getting such a cushy deal. ... In 2010, a consortium of Ohio’s newspapers found that a quarter of the superintendents in the state’s 614 school districts were double-dipping. In all, the newspapers found that 32,000 public employees were collecting $1 billion in pension payouts on top of their government paychecks. This is a system that is deeply flawed and should be reformed. The practice is bad public policy for several reasons. First, the pension plan is unnecessarily stressed, because it is paying retirement benefits to someone who doesn’t need or want to be retired. Those additional years of payments add strain to pension systems that already are on thin ice financially, because of stock-market losses in 2008 and the skyrocketing cost of health care, which is included in most of Ohio’s public pensions, even though the law doesn’t require it. ... Efforts are under way to reform Ohio’s public-pension plans, and they likely will raise retirement ages slightly. But no plan proposed so far requires public employees to wait until the typical Social Security retirement age to draw their pension benefits. This is a system ripe for an overhaul. ___ The Lima News, March 10 Talk about short memories. It hasn’t been even a half-year since Ohioans learned about the dozens of exotic animals near Zanesville that were let loose by their owner, who then committed suicide. The fact that li-

ons, tigers and bears could be seen walking alongside Interstate 70 was stunning enough. Those feelings of horror were trumped, however, when angry residents found out that all it took to own a rhinoceros was money. Ohio failed its state’s residents back in October with its lax regulations on the ownership of dangerous wildlife. Those same residents were failed again last week when the state Senate fell short of banning the biggest source of problems — private owners keeping dangerous wildlife. The senate ignored the recommendation by the governor’s task force concerning private owners who keep dangerous animals as pets. The task force asked that people who do not meet certain exemptions be required to by 2014. The task force envisioned narrow exemptions for zoos, circuses, licensed breeders and animal sanctuaries meeting safety and security standards, thus ensuring the overriding goal of protecting the public from animals kept by casual owners. However, the proposed bill before the Senate only requires that new animals be banned. ... ___ The (Toledo) Blade, March 9 Ohio’s overcrowded prisons are getting a needed makeover, building on previous gains and focusing on turning inmates into productive citizens. Gary Mohr, director of the Department of Rehabilitation and Correction, unveiled a plan recently to reorganize state prisons into a tiered system based on levels of control. Disruptive, violent inmates would be separated from the rest of the prison population. That will make other inmates safer and allow officials to focus on rehabilitating inmates in the general population and reintegration groups. ... Inmates at reintegration facilities will get job training, with a goal of having jobs waiting for them when they get out. Mr. Mohr said he wants them to work eight-hour days before their

release. Research shows that inmates who get job training are less likely to go back to prison. The changes in prison organization follow sentencing reforms that took effect last fall. Those reforms allow many nonviolent and first-time offenders to be diverted to community programs. ... Ohio’s prison director said he is no liberal when it comes to the treatment of inmates. But after four decades in the business, he believes the best way to cut crime, reduce recidivism, and save money is to give inmates hope and the tools to build a better life. He’s right. ___ The (Youngstown) Vindicator, March 10 The natural reaction to Vladimir Putin’s recent election as president of Russia would be, “He’s back” — but for the fact that he never actually gave up the presidency, even though he deeded the position four years ago to Dmitry Medvedev. Putin, who had served as president for two four-year terms and then was appointed prime minister in 2008 by Medvedev, has always held the reins of power. Indeed, he hand-picked his successor and made sure that the policies he had put in place were maintained. While Medvedev won the post in an election, Putin retained ultimate power. Thus, his return March 4 through an election that independent observers, including western monitors, have said was fraught with irregularities puts an end to the farce. Indeed, Putin could be president for the next 12 years. The citizens of the Russian Federation, along with the United States and other nations committed to the spread of democracy, have reason to be concerned. ... (T)he United States and other Western countries should urge the United Nations to investigate the complaints of voting irregularities and of physical force and intimidation against Putin’s critics.

Quarterly meeting of Ohio Waterways Safety Council slated

PUTNAM COUNTY — This St. Patrick’s Day… Don’t depend on dumb luck—Designate a sober driver before the party begins For many Americans, St. Patrick’s Day (defined for traffic study purposes as 6 p.m. March 16 to 5:59 a.m. March 18) has become a popular night out to celebrate with friends and family. Unfortunately, due to the large volume of drunk drivers, the night out has also become very dangerous. In 2009, there were 103 crash fatalities on St. Patrick’s Day. Of these fatalities, 37 percent involved alcohol-impaired drivers and/ or motorcyclists with blood alcohol concentrations of .08 grams per deciliter or higher. Whether meeting a few friends at the local pub after work or attending the local parade or party, if you plan on drinking alcohol, please don’t drive.

Buyer Be Wise By Neil Winget, President Better Business Bureau Serving West Central Ohio Even the best of money managers can sometimes find themselves in a cash flow situation and deeper in debt than is comfortable. During uncertain economic times, this kind of scenario becomes more and more frequent. Like the predator that looks for the young, the weak, and the lame for prey, there are unscrupulous companies that look for this kind of victim. They claim to be your savior from financial woes. They tell you they are going to be able to solve your debt problems with just a few easy payments. Let’s get to the truth about creditor problems right now. There is no “easy” way out and if some company, in their promotion, suggests there is, they are not being truthful. Here’s how the bad guys work: they convince their victim they can negotiate with their creditors and consolidate all their debt into

one easy payment. They want the intended victim to create a money pool, or slush fund, into which they make a monthly payment. From that fund, the “debt consolidators” pay the creditors. In all too many cases, this turns out to be a fraud. They will not make regular payments, or maybe none at all, and the victim is still in trouble with their creditors. When the victim tries to contact the “debt consolidators,” they either make excuses or are just not available. These shady companies make their pitch via email or telephone and they sound very convincing. After all, it is their job to pull in as many victims as they can. If you have serious debt problems, seek out a true professional to get you some relief. Check with your bank or credit union for advice or a referral. There are honest, ethical companies that can help but it is not going to be easy or painless.

Two residents clean flood aftermath, request reinforcements By Jared Denman Staff Writer OTTAWA — Stella Baldazo is 58 years old but she has been going down to the banks of the Blanchard River behind her Blanchard Park Apartments to clean the considerable amount of debris that was deposited there after last year’s flood season.

In loving memory of John Doe 00-00-00 – 00-00-00

1. We miss you in so many ways, 4. On angel’s wings, a heavenly flight We miss the things you used to say, The journey home, towards the light And when old times we do recall To those who weep, a life is gone It’s then we miss you most of all. But in God’s love, ‘tis but the dawn. 5. No farewell words were spoken, No time to say goodbye, You were gone before we knew it, And only God can tell us why.

3. Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same, But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.

6. If tears could build a stairway, And memories a lane I’d walk right up to heaven And bring you home again.

Residents ➤➤From A1 this is just not right. It was not done right when they started planning it. Everyone along this route should have gotten a personal, certified mailing saying we're planning to possibly widen [Road 5] and we've got a meeting coming up. [Road 5 residents] were left in the dark. The engineers will tell you they put [notice of the widening project] in the newspaper,” Borgelt continued. Borgelt contended that he felt that in addition to publicizing in the newspaper, the residents should have received a mailed notice from the county. At one point, Horstman questioned the logic that Road 5 must be widened to accommodate truck traffic that commissioners can't legally regulate. “If the truckers are allowed to use any route, anywhere and it's necessary to have 60 feet [of total right-of-way], then why isn't there 60 feet on every single county road?” Horstman asked. “The law does designate 60 feet but our county engineer goes by the markings and doesn't go by that ruling. That's why they are purchasing the property but some of the township roads are 20 feet,” Commissioner

Vince Schroeder responded to Horstman's question. “But then shouldn't it be done on Road 3, 2, 1 and 6 because any trucker can use any road at any time?” Horstman asked as a follow-up “The money for this doesn't come out of the county budget. It comes from the engineers. And the engineer gets his money from the tax on gasoline and diesel fuel,” Schroeder responded. The other issue that was broached was that of safety. Sheriff Beutler was on hand to field questions concerning traffic behaviors. “We know that wider, smoother roads are safer. I can't say it's totally unsafe because I'm not the expert on that. Are they traveling faster? Probably so. It's straight and wide open. Are there a lot of crashes? No, not a lot of crashes,” Beutler informed. “I have small children and it irritates me beyond belief how [the trucks] fly by,” one resident commented. “I'm sorry, if it's the safety of the people, I believe that we need to look at that first and not the truckers,” another added. Perhaps the feeling of the residents was best summed up by one young lady who

had this to say: “I'm frustrated because I feel like the county cares about the truckers who are only going down the road for 15 minutes but we live there 24 hours a day. They just don't seem to care about the home owners. They just care about how much money the county makes off the taxes from these businesses.” Pandora resident Paul Burkholder who, while not a Road 5 resident, is supporting friends and neighbors, attempted to work towards a solution by asking if the sheriff and the two commissioners would commit to writing a letter to area businesses requesting their respective trucking companies to use a different route. “Commissioner Schroeder just posed a statement to the Sheriff saying maybe he could write a letter to the business owners in the industrial park. Just for the record, I know the press is here, would both the commissioners and the sheriff commit to, in the next week, writing a letter to the plants saying, ‘Would you request your trucking firms to use the existing state routes?’” “I'll ask them to talk to their trucking companies and see if they would honor

that. Whether they will or not is totally different but I'm not afraid to ask them,” Beutler answered. “What about the commissioners? Would you go on record to do that?” Burkholder asked. “Sure. We can do that,” Commissioner John Love responded. “The last time you asked about that though, it was the way it was phrased,” Love added ,referring to a meeting held last month with Burkholder and Borgelt. “What about you, Commissioner Schroeder, will you also commit?” Burkholder continued. “Yeah, I'll sign it but I don't think it's going to matter. As a person who moves a product, [truckers] are going to look for the best route and that's what caused all of this. The truckers are using it and the county engineer wants safety to be number one for our roads and he's having a hard time keeping a berm on that road,” Schroeder offered. Near the conclusion of the meeting, Congressman Latta addressed the group concerning the legality of “no through truck traffic” signs and what the Ohio Revised Code says concerning legal notices. “A lot of you already know that

cil that the YMCA is continuing to look at ways they can reduce the cost of operating the pool. The village is assisting the YMCA by contacting local organizations to help the YMCA with funding to open the village pool. Clerk-Treasurer, Barb Brickner was happy to announce that the village received the final payment from FEMA from the 2007 flood for the ultra-violet disinfection project. This allowed the village to release payment to Peterson Construction for the completion of the project. In other news, the council approved a mowing contract with Croy Mowing for the 2012 mowing season. The bid from Croy was the

lowest of five sealed bids received by the village. Later in the meeting, The village accepted an estimate from Kahle Electric for the repair of the stop light at S.R. 224 and U.S. Route 65 intersection. The damage is the result of an automobile accident that occurred at the intersection. Currently, the stop light is not working and

the intersection is a fourway stop. Council accepted the estimate of $38,200 but anticipates the repairs to be higher. The village expects to be reimbursed by the driver’s automobile insurance. The next village council meeting is set for Monday, March 26 at 8 p.m. in council chambers.

I know this road like the back of my hand. My dad's youngest brother was the superintendent of schools years ago at Leipsic and so they come down Crawfis College Road,” Latta related “We've got all the information; questions about the berm, the drainage. A lot of you know, I was a county commissioner for Wood County for six years. If the question is about those posted signs, we had the same problems with Wood County. We have a lot of signs that are illegal. The only reason they're out there is because the sheriff says they act as a deterrent. People would call us and say why don't you tell the sheriff to enforce it, we can't,” Latta offered.

Ottawa ➤➤From A1 obtain a liquor license. The mayor said the business said the village needed to show its support via a letter in order for the business to obtain the license. Doug Schroeder, the waste water director, advised council that the testing for the processing of cow manure is moving along. Hirzel Canning Company has offered a press that is currently not being used at a Toledo facility. Hirzel’s has agreed to allow the village to test the 1979 belt press that will ultimately be used to de-water manure from sludge. If the test proves to be positive, then the village has agreed to pay Hirzel’s for the press. Macke also advised coun-

“I've got all of the information. I think I've got my marching orders and we've got to start checking with the state, with funding, the eminent domain issue, the drainage, the resetting of [utility] poles. I've got enough that I can start [making contacts]. The question you had about legal notices, that's in the Revised Code. In the law, you have to have a paper of general circulation in the county for legal notices,” Latta concluded. “You're saying you're going to look into it?” Horstman asked. “Yes. You asked a lot of questions that you asked to get answered and so that's part of what we're going to do,” Latta stated.

Fourth graders studying Ohio The fourth graders at Sts. Peter and Paul School in Ottawa have been busy studying about the history of our great state. Did you know that Ohio’s birthday is on March 1? Ohio became a state on March 1, 1803. Can you figure out how old Ohio is? Here are some interesting facts concerning Ohio and our flag: Ohio has the only pennant shaped flag in the nation. The red circle in the center of the flag stands for the buckeye. The flag has seventeen stars because it was the seventeenth state admitted to the union. The white circle represents the letter O which stands for Ohio.

Continental School to present ‘Brigadoon’ CONTINENTAL — Continental Local Schools will be presenting the musical “Brigadoon” on March 30 and 31 in the Irene Wahl Castel Auditorium. Ticket prices are $6 at the door. Brigadoon is directed by Julie McCullough, assisted by Jill Krutsch, and accompanied by Pam Jones. Brigadoon is a musical with a book and lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner and music by Frederick Loewe. Songs from the musical, such as “Almost Like Being in Love” have become standards. It tells the story of a mysterious Scottish village that appears for only one day every hundred years; though to the villagers, the passing of each century seems no longer than one night. The enchantment is viewed by them as a blessing rather than a curse, for it saved the village from destruction. According to their covenant with God, no one form Brigadoon may ever leave, or the enchantment will be broken and the site

and all its inhabitants will disappear into the mists forever. Two American tourists, lost in the Scottish Highlands, stumble upon the village just as a wedding is about to be celebrated, and their arrival has serious implications for the village’s inhabitants. Cast members are: Nathan Hooker-Andrew MacLaren, Cameron MasonAngus MacGuffie, Payton Weller-Archie Beaton, Charlie Dalrymple, Garrett Recker, Fiona MacLaren-Brigette Shelton, Frank-Evan Hooker, Harry Beaton-Doug Bush, Jane Ashton-Paige Lawhorn, Jean MacLaren-Rachel Hauter, Jeff Douglas-Jacob Nicholson, Kate-Misty Miller, Meg BrockieMadison Mansfield, Mr. Lundie-Ian Jones, Tommy Albright-Gabe Recker, Maggie Anderson-Melody Weaver, Sandy Dean-Misty Miller and Townspeople are Austin Morrison and Kaylee Parks.

The Gospel according to Matthew GILBOA — The Gilboa Pentecostal Church of God, 3695 U.S. 224, Ottawa is hosting a free video presentation entitled “The Gospel According to Matthew” on Thursday evenings, March 15, 22, 29 and April 5, at 7 p.m. Come share a time of par-

ables and miracles as Jesus’ ministry unfolds. Relive the drama as the disciples walk with Jesus. Feel the love, patience and compassion in this deeply moving and unique presentation of a divine yet warmly human Jesus. This vivid portrayal of the Gospel of Matthew

ends with Jesus’ last command and the promise... “surely I am with you always to the very end of the age.” For more information, please call the church at 419-456-3495 or Pastor Wayne Baldridge at 419423-6725.

‘Spirit of Service’ presentation at St. Michael’s in Kalida KALIDA — On March 20, Nikki Buss Michalec and Father Jim Szobonva, Pastor at St. Gerard, Lima will be giving a presentation on “Spirit of Service” at St. Michael Church Hall, Kalida. This is the third in a series of Tuesdays in March, a time for reflection during the season of Lent, beginning at 7 p.m. The evening

will include shared stories and hopes for people who are often forgotten in our society, focusing on incarcerated men in the prison system. Are we all called to be God’s servants? How do we reach out to the poor and forgotten? What does God ask of us through Scripture? Join us for an evening of discussion, testimony, and

hope. On March 27, at 7 p.m. Sister Christine Pratt will present “A Lenten and Lifelong Practice”. In Matthew’s Gospel, Chapter 25, Jesus tells us how we are to be judged and with who he identifies. We will explore ways in which the Lenten practices of prayer, fasting and almsgiving may be related to Jesus’ call to care for the least among us. A four page journal will be given for personal reflection during the rest of the Lenten season and beyond. For more information contact St. Michael Church.

Registration open at Kingdom Kids Preschool DUPONT — The Dupont Church of the Brethren Kingdom Kids Preschool will hold an open house and 2012-13 registration on Thursday, March 22, from 12 to 2 p.m. and 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Call 419-596-4314 for more information.

Students study ancient civilizations The sixth grade social studies class at Sts. Peter and Paul learns about the world’s ancient civilizations. They have just finished studying about ancient China. Mrs. Macke worked with them on a web site to find out what their names would be in Chinese. They made their own “papyrus” and carefully printed their names on the papyrus. They are presently learning about the Olmec, the Maya, and the Aztec civilizations of Mesoamerica. Last week they played the Aztec game of Ulama. Half of the class ended up being honored as winners of the game. The other half received honors of a different kind, they were sacrificed to the Aztec gods.

The chance growths of changing into a cancer depends in the colon or rectum upon the kind of polyp: In most people, colorectal cancers • Adenomatous polyps develop slowly over several years. (adenomas) are polyps that have

the potential to change into cancer. Because of this, adenomas are called a pre-cancerous condition. • Hyperplastic polyps and inflammatory polyps, in general, are not pre-cancerous. But some doctors think that some hyperplastic polyps can become pre-cancerous or might be a sign of having a greater risk of developing adenomas and cancer, particularly when these polyps grow in the ascending colon. Another kind of pre-cancerous condition is called dysplasia. Dysplasia is an area in the lining of the colon or rectum where the cells look abnormal (but not like true cancer cells) when seen under a microscope. These cells can change into cancer over time. Dysplasia is usually seen in people who have had diseases such as ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease for many years.

Signs and symptoms of colorectal cancer

Colorectal cancer may cause one or more of the symptoms below. If you have any of the following you should see your doctor: • A change in bowel habits, such as diarrhea, constipation, or narrowing of the stool, that lasts for more than a few days • A feeling that you need to have a

bowel movement that is not relieved by doing so • Rectal bleeding, dark stools, or blood in the stool (often, though, the stool will look normal) • Cramping or abdominal (belly) pain • Weakness and fatigue • Unintended weight loss

Most of these symptoms are more often caused by conditions other than colorectal cancer, such as infection, hemorrhoids, or inflammatory bowel disease. Still, if you have any of these problems, it’s important to see your doctor right away so the cause can be found and treated, if needed.

Both ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease cause chronic inflammation of the colon.

Start and spread of colorectal cancer

If cancer forms within a polyp, it can eventually begin to grow into the wall of the colon or rectum. When cancer cells are in the wall, they can then grow into blood vessels or lymph vessels. Lymph vessels are thin, tiny channels that carry away waste and fluid. They first drain into nearby lymph nodes, which are bean-shaped structures that help fight infections. Once cancer cells spread into blood or lymph vessels, they can travel to nearby lymph nodes or to distant parts of the body, such as the liver. Spread to distant parts of the body is called metastasis.

Your colon. Your life. Your call.

Awareness Month Importance of colorectal cancer screening Excluding skin cancers, colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer diagnosed in both men and women in the United States. The American Cancer Society’s most recent estimates for the number of colorectal cancer cases in the United States are for 2012: • 103,170 new cases of colon cancer • 40,290 new cases of rectal cancer • the lifetime risk for developing colorectal cancer is about 1 in 20 (5.1%). This risk is slightly higher in men than in women. A number of other factors may also affect a person’s risk for developing colorectal cancer. Colorectal cancer is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States when men and women are considered separately, and the second leading cause when both sexes are combined. It is expected to cause about 49,380 deaths during 2011. The death rate (the number of deaths per 100,000 people per year) from colorectal cancer has been dropping for more than 20 years. There are a number of likely reasons for this. One is that polyps

are being found by screening and removed before they can develop into cancers. Screening also allows more colorectal cancers to be found earlier, when the disease is easier to cure. In addition, treatment for colorectal cancer has improved over the last several years. As a result, there are now more than 1 million survivors of colorectal cancer in the United States. Regular colorectal cancer screening or testing is one of the most powerful weapons for preventing colorectal cancer. Screening is the process of looking for cancer in people who have no symptoms of the disease. From the time the first abnormal cells start to grow into polyps, it usually takes about 10 to 15 years for them to develop into colorectal cancer. Regular screening can, in many cases, prevent colorectal cancer altogether. This is because some polyps, or growths, can be found and removed before they have the chance to turn into cancer.

Risk factors for Colon Cancer Older age. African-American race. A personal history of colorectal cancer or polyps. Inflammatory intestinal conditions. Inherited syndromes that increase colon cancer risk. Family history of colon cancer and colon polyps.

Low-fiber, high-fat diet. Lack of Excercise. Diabetes. Obesity. Smoking. Alcohol. Radiation therapy for cancer. Radiation therapy directed at the abdomen to treat previous cancers may increase the risk of colon cancer.

Screening can also result in finding colorectal cancer early, when it is highly curable. Several tests are used to screen for colorectal cancer in people with an average risk of colorectal cancer. Ask your doctor which tests are available where you live and which options might be right for you. People who have no identified risk factors (other than age) should begin regular screening at age 50. Those who have a family history or other risk factors for colorectal polyps or cancer should talk with their doctor about starting screening when they are younger and/or getting screened more frequently.

Koch, Metzger help Titans advance to D-III regionals By Charlie Warnimont Sentinel Sports Editor NAPOLEON — OttawaGlandorf took a 10 point lead to the fourth quarter of their Division III, District final against Archbold Saturday night. Three minutes into the final quarter, the Titans saw the Blue Streaks cut their deficit in half as O-G was struggling to score. That’s when senior Logan Koch stepped up and helped rescue his team. Koch hit the Titans first basket of the quarter and added another one a short time later as O-G held off the charging Blue Streaks to claim a 38-26 win in Staff photo/Charlie Warnimont their Division III title game Ottawa-Glandorf’s T.J.

The win sends the Titans (17-6) to a Division III regional semi-final contest tonight (Wednesday) at the Stroh Center on the campus of Bowling Green State University at 8 p.m against New London (21-3). Archbold saw its season end at 17-6. Ottawa-Glandorf took a 27-17 lead to the final quarter as they scored the final three points of the third quarter on a free throw by Alex Westrick and a foul line jumper by Koch, off a long offensive rebound, as time expired in the quarter.

Free throw line leads to defeat of Bulldogs

Edgerton scores late to defeat Kalida

By Charlie Warnimont Sentinel Sports Editor FINDLAY — Columbus Grove was able to put the Arlington players they wanted at the free throw line down the stretch of their Division IV district championship game. The problem was the Red Devils were nearly automatic at the charity stripe the entire game. Arlington canned 24-of-25 chances at the line Friday night which helped them hold off the Bulldogs for a 51-44 district championship before a packed house at LibertyBenton High School. The win sent the Red Devils (21-3) to the Division IV regional tournament at Bowling Green State University against Maumee Valley Country Day Tuesday night. The district championship was the Red Devils first in school history. The Bulldogs saw another fine season end at 19-5. Arlington entered the contest shooting only 63 percent at the line for the season. But with the Red Devils attempting to make school history and match the girls team trip to the regionals

the free throw line became their friend. The Red Devils were a perfect 12-of-12 at the charity stripe down the line as their only miss of the night came in the third quarter. “We kind of struggled at the line this year,” Arlington senior Thayne Recker said. “We’ve been working on it in practice and coach has been preaching it. We just stepped it up at the line the last two games and tonight really helped us a lot.” In a game that was back and forth all night both teams knew that taking advantage of any opportunity was clutch as the biggest lead by either team was six points in the first quarter by the Red Devils at 8-2. The Bulldogs’ Colton Grothaus scored the final four points of the third quarter to tie the game at 34-34 heading to the fourth quarter. The final eight minutes was no different as the lead exchanged hands five times before the Red Devils took the lead for good with 59 seconds left. After watching a four point lead disappear late in the third quarter, the Red Devils went back on top

NAPOLEON — Before a packed house at the Grand Canyon in Napoleon Friday night, Kalida and Edgerton’s battle for a Division IV district championship went right down to the wire. And it was the Bulldogs that came up big late to deny Kalida a championship as Edgerton pulled out a 39-36 win before 1,900 fans of the two teams. With the win, the Bulldogs (23-0) advanced to the Divi-

sion IV regional tournament at Bowling Green State University to face Colonel Crawford. The Wildcats saw their season end at 18-6. Although Edgerton came into the game undefeated and as the third ranked team in Division IV, Kalida never backed down from their opponent as they had the game tied at 32-32 with under two minutes left.

By Dar Nevergall Staff Writer ELIDA — Alivia Recker tossed in 19 points, Amelia Recker 13 and Jordyn Webb 13 as the Arlington Lady Red Devils topped Ottoville 59-48 in the Division IV Regional semifinals at Elida Thursday night. In a match-up of the top two teams in the state, Arlington broke away from a 29-29 deadlock in the third on a Webb three-pointer and held the lead from then on to move on to the regional final game against New Riegel on Saturday. (Arlington

beat New Riegel to advance to the state semifinals). “The X factor tonight was Webb,” said Ottoville coach Dave Kleman. “And that is what it takes in a game like this with two really good teams. Somebody that is unexpected. Alivia (Recker) had a real nice first half and we took Amelia (Recker) out and (Jessica) Hunter didn’t score a lot for them. That was our three main focuses. Then Webb stepped up and shot lights out and hit three of six from threepoint.” ➤➤See BALANCE/B16

Koch, a 6-6 senior forward, scored O-G’s first points of the final quarter when he scored on the inside with 4:19 left. Archbold junior Tyson Dietrich quickly answered back for Archbold before T.J.

Sports Caleb Siefker’s basket lifts O-G to semi-final win B4

Wednesday, March 14, 2012

By Charlie Warnimont Sentinel Sports Editor NAPOLEON — Caleb Siefker may not have been the first option as OttawaGlandorf rushed up court for a final shot. When the junior found himself with the ball and time winding down, he knew what to do with it. Siefker dribbled the lane and laid in a shot with two seconds left to help the Titans to a 38-35 Division III district semi-final win over Patrick Henry at the Grand Canyon in Napoleon. The

Putnam County Sentinel

win sent O-G (16-6) to the Division III district finals opposite Archbold last Saturday. The Blue Streaks advanced to the finals with a win over Tinora in the second game Thursday night. Ottawa-Glandorf had a 35-31 lead on the Patriots with 1:42 left to play after two free throws by freshman Noah Bramlage. Eight seconds later Patrick Henry made it a one point game as senior Kurt Gibson hit a three point play after driving into the lane and hitting a short jumper and getting

fouled. With 37 seconds left, Siefker had a chance to extend the Titan lead, but missed the front end of a one-and-one. Patrick Henry (13-10) had two shots at taking the lead as they missed a threepointer and had a putback attempt blocked out of bounds. After a Patriot timeout, Patrick Henry missed another shot with Gibson, a 6-0 guard, going up among the trees and grabbing an offensive rebound. Gibson was fouled and went to the line where he missed the first free throw. He made the second to tie the game at 35-35. O-G junior guard Matt Kaufman raced the ball up court getting a pass to Siefker at the free throw line. Siefker turned and dribbled down the lane putting up a shot that bounced off the back of the rim and in as he was getting fouled. After an O-G timeout, Siefker made the free throw making it a three point game with two seconds left. “Coach said if they score there at the end we were going to try and come back quick,” Siefker said. “Matt Kaufman dribbled it over to me, we didn’t have much time and I just wanted to get to the rack and get something up and draw a foul. When I got the ball, I felt I had a step on the kid, I took it to the rack and tried to step away from the kid that was coming over to help. It felt great after missing that Staff photo/Charlie Warnimont one-and-one to redeem myOttawa-Glandorf’s Matt Kaufman (4) drives towards self.”

“We talk about those kind of situations in practice,” O-G coach Tyson McGlaughlin said. “If the foul shot went in, we didn’t want to give them a chance to set up their defense. Chewey (Matt Kaufman) brought the ball down and handed it off. They had two guys that didn’t know if they were switching, he (Caleb) took the seam and he made a play. Then we tell him to miss the free throw and he banks it in. I guess he was in the zone for that three second span there.” Out of timeouts, the Patriots heaved the ball towards midcourt. The pass was knocked by O-G and rolled out of bounds leaving .02 on the clock. After an O-G timeout, Patrick Henry had one more shot from long range and saw it bounce off the back of the rim ending the game. “I thought we played well enough to win, it just didn’t turn out that way on the scoreboard,” Patrick Henry coach Kent Seemann said. “I thought for the most part we controlled the game. We controlled the tempo the way we wanted and we did a really good job of rebounding the basketball. We were there. We had our opportunity and it didn’t work out.” Patrick Henry held the lead for most of the game. The Titans scored first on a basket by Kaufman before the Patriots ran off the next eight points of the game as Kolby Seemann nailed a three-pointer. John Lammers tied the game at 8-8 on

back-to-back three-pointers before two baskets by Gibson and one by Seemann made it a 14-8 game after one quarter. The Patriots saw their lead balloon to 11 points in the second quarter at 21-10 before three-pointers by Lammers and T.J. Metzger made it a five point game going to the locker room. Patrick Henry was able to build an early lead as their 2-3 zone denied the Titans from getting the ball inside. “They packed in that zone and that kind of threw us off and we didn’t get into any kind of rhythm,” McGlaughlin said. “The guys didn’t use that as an excuse, they just continued to battle. Our defensive effort was just phenomenal, that was seven-eight guys just going in there and just doing their job. Those two threepointers at the end of the half were big as it gave us some momentum going to the second half.” Although O-G had some momentum going into the second half they were unable to get the lead as they pulled within a point at 2322 on a Metzger jumper. Two baskets by Gibson for the Patriots helped them take a 27-24 lead to the fourth quarter. Metzger had the Titans final basket of the third quarter as the two teams combined to miss nine shots in the final 2:30 of the quarter.

Koch finished the scoring as he made the first of two free throws as he finished with seven points in the game. Metzger led the Titans with 12 points and Rosebrock added six points. Bramlage pulled down five rebounds for the Titans, while Koch and Rosebrock both had four rebounds. Hammeyer led the Blue Streaks with 10 points and seven rebounds. While Metzger came up with a big play defensively in the fourth quarter for O-G, the Titans defense was solid all night. O-G employed a box and one against Archbold as they wanted to limit the touches that Blue Streak junior Zebb Frank had. O-G used this defense in their first meeting back in December and employed it once again as they held Frank without a point in the game as he took just three shots in the game. “The first time we played them we went to the box and one in the second quarter and used it in the second half,” McGlaughlin said. “We were going to come out in a man-to-man but the more I thought about it, I thought it might be in the back of their minds, man are they going to play me boxand-one, and dare me to shoot That’s the psychology in it, try to get in their heads, little bit of gamesmanship. It paid dividends for us.”

a minute later. Lammers pulled O-G within one at 2928 before Metzger gave the Titans the lead, their second of the game, for good with a three-pointer from the right wing. “T.J. is just extremely athletic,” McGlaughlin said. “He can create things and is very strong. He can get to the rim. He hit a couple of shots there. We talked to T.J. about letting the game come to him, because he has the tendency to stand there and dribble a little bit. When you are as talented as he is and to score like he does, that allows the defense to suffocate you a little. So we are trying to get him to move more without the ball and let the game come to him.” Metzger led the Titans with 12 points and Lammers finished with 11. Bramlage added eight points and Metzger had six rebounds. Gibson led the Patriots and all scorers with 16. *** Patrick Henry 14-41 5-11 35: Gibson 7-2-16; Christman 1-2-4; Schwiebert 1-0-3; Seemann 3-0-7; Nafziger 2-0-4; Bostelman 0-1-1.

“I thought we were prepared for the box-and-one this time, but it sure didn’t look like it,” Archbold coach Doug Krauss. We didn’t hit shots. We didn’t execute like we wanted to. I just don’t have an answer for it right now. If I did I would be coaching in the Big Ten tomorrow.” Although Archbold struggled offensively for the second time this season against O-G, they had a 2-0 lead as Kammeyer opened the scoring with a basket. O-G scored the next seven points of the game as they never trailed again. Rosebrock tied the game at 2-2 before Metzger scored five straight points, that included a threepointer. O-G ended the first quarter up 10-4 as senior John Lammers entered the game and knocked down a three-pointer. Although both teams struggled offensively, O-G was able to put enough runs together to keep the Blue Streaks at a distance.

Free throw sends Grove to finals By Cort Reynolds DHI Correspondent FINDLAY – Columbus Grove senior Jordan Travis sank a foul shot with 5.5 seconds left to break a tie and give his team a hardfought 39-38 win over Ada in taut Div. IV boys district semifinal action Tuesday night at Liberty-Benton. Travis missed the second free throw and Ada rebounded, but turned the ball over before they could get off a final potential winning shot. Neither team led by more than five points throughout the closely-contested game. Grove improved to 19-4 with the victory and advanced to the district finals Friday night. Ada ended its very solid campaign at 17-6. CG outscored Ada 12-9 in the final period to pull off the victory as Travis scored eight of those clutch points. He canned a driving basket and nailed a three-pointer to put his squad ahead 34-32 midway through the final quarter. Ada regained the lead 3534 when Konnor Baker split two foul shots and Bobby Steiner added a pair at the 3:16 mark. Wade Heffner put Grove back in front 3635 when he splashed two free tosses with 2:54 remaining. Two more Travis foul shots built Grove’s lead to 38-35 with 2:15 to go. CG then missed a golden opportunity to nearly put Ada away when they missed three straight free throws, including the front end of a one and one. Baker then drove on an isolation play and finished a conventional three-point play to tie it 38-all with 45 seconds remaining. Grove ran off 25 seconds, then called timeout. When play resumed, they milked the clock until Travis was fouled on a fadeaway jumper with 5.5 seconds to play. He converted the first but after a short timeout, missed the second. Steiner rebounded but then a pass went awry and time ran out on the Ada season. Ada led most of the game as Steiner broke out of a slump to tally six early points. Mason Acheson scored as the purple and gold edged in front 10-5, but Derek Rieman came off the Grove bench to net three key baskets and keep his team close at 10-9. Another Acheson basket and a Baker drive gave Ada a 14-9 edge before Dane Stechschulte canned a jumper to pull CG within 14-11 after the opening period. Grove tied it on a runner by Connor Kohls, yet Baker answered with a traditional three-point play off a drive. Kohls responded with an old-fashioned three-pointer of his own via an athletic drive down the lane that

knotted it again, 17-17. Collin Grothaus gave Grove its initial lead with the first of a pair of putback baskets. Reiman then followed a Grothaus miss with another offensive rebound goal for a 21-17 lead, their biggest of the night. Yet Ada came back when Steiner tallied two free throws at the 1:12 mark, and reserve junior guard Micah Roberson connected on the only trifecta of the first half by either team to give them a 22-21 edge at intermission. Acheson scored on a good feed by Baker to open the second half. Caleb Grothaus tied it with a long trey midway through the defense-oriented, tight stanza. Acheson scored inside for a 26-24 margin with 3:09 left. Kohls and Baker took turns splitting a pair of foul shots before Travis tied it at 27-27 on a contested jumper with 1:28 to go in the period. But as Grove stalled for the last shot of the quarter, Steiner stole the ball and drove in for a shot that Baker put back in for a 29-27 Ada lead. Southpaw Heffner tied it ➤➤See FREE/B14

➤➤From B1 shot and Jordan Travis hit two free throws with 3:10 left. Recker answered back for Arlington with a basket before Travis hit a big three-pointer that had Grove leading 41-39 with 2:45 left. That’s when the Red Devils parade to the free throw line started. Inniger tied the game at 41-41 with two free throws only to see Grove’s Connor Kohls drive the lane and score. Wes Corbin knotted the score at 43-43 with two free throws. Columbus Grove had two chances to regain the lead, but saw a three-pointer off the mark and a second chance shot attempt rim out. Recker was fouled on the rebound and converted two free throws that gave Arlington the lead for good. After taking a 43-41 lead, the Bulldogs failed to connect on their final five shot attempts of the contest that saw them miss two three-

pointers and three shots in the lane. Before missing their final five shot attempts the Bulldogs had been successful with Kohls getting to the basket and pulling up for short jumpers. “We got the shots we wanted,” Grove coach Ryan Stechschulte said. “Connor (Kohls) got to the rim, fivesix footers. You can’t ask any more out of the PCL Player of the Year. I put the ball in his hands, and I’d do it again tomorrow if I had the chance.” “We made plays to put ourselves in a position to make plays at the end, we had balls rim out on us, that’s the game. Tonight they were a little better than us, especially the last minute and a half,” Stechschulte added. The only point scored by Grove in the final minute came with 38.6 seconds left when Colton Grothaus hit the first of two free throws. Meanwhile the Red Dev-

ils continued to cash in at the free throw line as Jake Leonard knocked down two with 36.3 seconds left and Corbin finished the night by sinking all four of his opportunities. “That’s been a problem all year for us” Arlington coach Jason Vermillion said. “We’ve been shooting 62, 63 percent all year. We’ve talked to them every time we shoot free throws, that sometime, some big game was going to come down to them. Maybe in game 24 it finally sunk in to them.” “In a game like that what are you going to do. It was the finals,” Stechschulte said. “We played a great team. They are a bunch of seniors. I’d expect our kids to step up and make them. We shot them pretty well tonight too, although we didn’t get as many as they did. We had the guys in mind we wanted to foul and we fouled them. But Corbin and Leonard stepped up

and made their free throws. It was a very well played game.” Recker led the Red Devils with 18 points as he went 6-of-6 at the line, while Corbin finished with 12 as he went 8-of-8 at the line. Recker also pulled down seven rebounds in the win. Kohls led the Bulldogs with 16 points and Travis finished with 14 as he hit three three-pointers. Kohls and Caleb Grothaus both had four rebounds. *** Arlington 13-34 24-25 51: Corbin 2-8-12; Leonard 0-5-5; Hunter 3-17; J. Freed 0-0-0; McBride 0-0-0; Inniger 2-2-7; Blunk 0-2-2; Recker 6-6-18.

GAMEOF OFTHE THE WEEK GAME WEEK

➤➤From B1 Bulldogs a 34-32 lead with a driving layup. A minute later Edgerton extended their lead as Ben Riehle hit their first of two free throws. Riehle missed the second free throw, but Adams snuck in front of Kalida’s Ben Schroeder, grabbed the miss and scored to give the Bulldogs a 37-32 lead with 29.1 seconds left. Drew Stechschulte pulled Kalida within 37-35 with 17.2 seconds left when he drained a long three-pointer. Forced to foul, the Wildcats sent Riehle back to the free throw line. He missed the attempt with Austin Roebke grabbing the miss and getting fouled in the process. Roebke hit the first free throw, but missed the second as Adams grabbed the rebound and flipped the ball out to Riehle. Riehle was fouled and made both attempts that put the Bulldogs up 39-36. A desperation three-point attempt by Kevan Unverferth at buzzer was off the mark keeping the Bulldogs perfect season alive. Adams led the Bulldogs with a game high 20 points, while Riehle and Brody Flegal both had seven points as just four Edgerton players scored in the game. Riehle also pulled down seven rebounds. Ben Schroeder led Kalida

with 13 points. Paul Utendorf and Nate Kortokrax both had five points. Tyler Kortokrax grabbed five rebounds. The game was tight all night as Edgerton led 12-9 after the opening quarter before Kalida came back to claim a 19-18 halftime with a 10-6 second quarter scoring run. Edgerton took 3027 lead to the fourth quarter after a 12-8 scoring run in the third quarter. *** Edgerton 16-32 6-10 39: N. Stark 2-0-5; Riehle 1-5-7; Flegal 3-1-7; Adams 10-0-20.

Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day safely this year PUTNAM COUNTY — Everybody may be Irish on St. Patrick’s Day* but nobody should drive drunk after celebrating Ireland’s patron saint this Saturday, March 17. “St. Patrick’s Day is one of the most widely celebrated saint’s days in the world, but all too often it shares that great distinction with a far lesser one—too many people are driving drunk and killing or maiming themselves and others on the road as a result,” said Mike Klear, Putnam County Safe Communities Coalition Director, “Even if you’ve think you’ve had only a few drinks and are just feeling ‘buzzed,’ don’t kid yourself because Buzzed Driving is Drunk Driving.”According to statistics compiled by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, “Alcohol not only dangerously impairs your driving skills, it also impairs your judgment. If you had a few drinks and feel ‘buzzed,’ remember Buzzed Driving is Drunk Driving,” Mike Klear said. Putnam County Safe Communities, Director recommends the following easy steps, for a safe St. Patrick’s Day. • Plan a safe way home before the festivities begin and Throwaway Puzzle

Prayer to the Blessed Virgin (Never known to fail) Oh, most beautiful flower of Mt. Carmel, fruitful vine, splendor of Heaven, Blessed Mother of the Son of God, Immaculate Virgin, assist me in my necessity. O Star of the Sea, help me and show me herein you are my mother. Oh Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth! I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succor me in necessity. There are none that can withstand your power. Oh, show me herein you are my mother. Oh Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee (three times). Holy Mother, I place this cause in your hands (three times). Holy Spirit, You who solve all problems, light all roads so that I can attain my goal. You who gave me the divine gift to forgive and forget all evil against me and that in all instances in my life you are with me. I want, in this short prayer, to thank you for all things as you confirm once again that I never want to be separated from you in eternal glory. Thank you for your mercy toward me and mine.

His Assistant Coaches are John Parisho and Scott Tesluck. “I am very optimistic about the season,” said Young. “We have a great group of veteran returners from last year’s team and a very talented incoming class of first-year studentathletes. Our strengths will be putting the ball in play as well as being aggressive on the base paths. We also have depth on the mound, both in our starting and relief pitchers.”

B16 Wednesday, March 14, 2012

Balance ➤➤From B1 The game held up to its billing between the number 1 and number 2 teams as the two teams battled down to the wire. Arlington took a 15-13 advantage after one period of play when Amelia Recker hit a banker at the end of the first. The Red Devils had taken a 13-8 edge on an inside move by Recker, but Ottoville countered with a three-pointer by Lauren Kramer and a lay-up by Megan Bendele to tie it up. Midway through the second the score stood 21-21, before Alivia Recker nailed a three-pointer and Abby Solt a putback to put Arlington up by five. An inside move by Alivia Recker and a free throw by Amelia Recker made it a six point difference before Kramer tallied to make it 29-25 at the break. Despite hitting 11-of13 shots from the field in the first half, Ottoville still trailed by four at halftime,

mainly because of a 9-0 difference in turnovers. “When they banked those two threes in the first half, I thought ‘oh, boy’ here we go, it is going to be a heck of a fight,” said Kleman. “They outplayed us tonight. We had too many unforced turnovers. They only had four turnovers (to 16 for Ottoville in the game) so there is 12 more possessions. You can’t have that discrepancy in turnovers and expect to win.” Ottoville quickly knotted the score at the start of the third on a basket by Abby Siefker (14 points, 11 rebounds and 4 blocks) and two free throws by the 6-2 standout, but Amelia Recker and Joy Reamsnyder countered with inside buckets and Webb drained another three-pointer to put Arlington up 39-31. “Jordyn (Webb) has been an offensive spark for us all year,” said Arlington coach Seth Newlove. “She really

stepped up for us tonight when we needed it.” Ottoville narrowed the gap to 44-41 on a threepointer by Lauren Koch and then again to 46-43 on a drive by Rachel Turnwald, but Webb hit a driving shot over Siefker to make it 4843 with 3:21 left. “I put her (Webb) in the third quarter when they went zone because she does shoot the three well,” added Newlove. “But the runner she made down the lane was probably the most impressive shot I have seen all year. It was one of those you go ‘no, no, good shot’.” “It wasn’t that we didn’t give a lot of effort because we did,” added Kleman. “It’s just that sometimes the ball bounces your way and sometimes it doesn’t. I told the girls, points put them in the seats, defense wins games and rebounding wins championships and after seeing the rebounding stats at the half (13-10 advantage to Arlington with 10 offen-

sive rebounds for the Red Devils to 0 for Ottoville) we were lucky to be within four points. It just didn’t get much better in the second half for us.” After Webb’s shot put Arlington up by five, the Red Devils finished things off at the foul line, hitting 9 of 11 down the stretch and ending the game at 13 of 18. “I didn’t like the quickness advantage they had on us so we tried to play more halfcourt,” summed up Kleman. “If we had just rebounded the ball like we did all year, especially on the defensive rebounding, we would have been fine. You can’t give them that many extra shots and expect to win. It’s not like they shot a great percentage, but, like in golf, if you give me a lot of putts I am going to make it eventually.” Koch and Bendele added eight points each for the Lady Green (23-1), while Kramer and Turnwald tossed in seven each.
