New research released earlier this month by Connect Ohio shows 86.73% of Ohio households have access to fixed broadband at 25 Mbps download speed across the state. That marks a 25 percentage-point increase compared to two and a half years ago. The state’s broadband availability for a slower connect speed is 98.79 percent, not including mobile wireless service. In Van Wert County, that percentage steps up to 99.96 percent of the county’s 11,439 households. In addition, the next highest download speed (up to 3 Mbps) sees little change in availability. Ap- proximately 99.19 percent of Van Wert County households have broadband availability at that speed. Just five years ago, Van Wert County was lagging behind in broadband availability and even in Internet usage. At that time, only 72 percent of the county households even had a computer in the house, compared to 76 percent statewide. Also in 2009, just 64 percent of the households had home Internet, and only 47 percent had a broadband con- nection. In fact, 59 percent, or three out of five, respondents said they either did not need broadband access or did not understand the benefits. Just as importantly, 20 percent said broadband was not available to them at their home. “Much progress has been made to increase broadband accessibility across Ohio. I commend all of the broadband stakeholders who continue to work together to address this issue,” said Senator Joe Uecker, chairman of the Ohio broadband and technology caucus. “However, accessibility issues still exist, particularly in Appalachia; stakeholders must continue to focus their efforts on this area to promote economic development and educational opportunities in the region.” “A 25 percentage point increase in 25 Mbps speeds is evidence of Ohio’s providers investing in increased capac- ity,” said Stu Johnson, executive director of Connect Ohio. “However it also demonstrates that the investment is concen- trated in enhancing existing infrastructure as the percentage of Ohioans with less than 768 Kbps availability remains unchanged.” The new broadband availability research shows that high-speed (at least 50 Mbps download/1.5 Mbps upload) broadband availability has increased 25 percentage points since October of 2011. That percentage has increaced by almost three percentage points just since October 2013. This is the ninth compre- hensive broadband availability data release from Connect Ohio through the State Broad- band Initiative (SBI). Connect Ohio is a subsidiary of Con- nected Nation, which does mapping research and policy in 10 states comprising over 36% of the nation’s landmass. Broadband Internet availability makes great progress locally since 2009 Bulletin Board Market on Main opens Shoppers took advantage of the sunshine Friday to visit Market On Main in downtown Van Wert on the Courthouse lawn.

(DHI Media/Ed Gebert) Jennings Envirothon finishes 5th at state BY NANCY SPENCER DHI Media Editor [email protected] FORT JENNINGS — Fort Jennings Envirothon Team I made its 17th consecutive appearance at state competition June 9 and 10 at Salt Fork State Park in Guernsey County, placing fifth out of the top 20 teams from the state. The annual event is an outdoor competition that tests students’ knowledge of soil, forestry, wildlife, aquatic ecology and current environmental issues. This year’s theme was “Sus- tainable Agriculture.” The winning team was from Boardman High School. Team I members include Jared Hoersten, Logan Sickels, Sarah Hellman, Keri Eickholt and Alex Sealts. Fort Jennings Team II was also eligible to attend the state competition and finished 16th. Team members include Dillon Schimmoeller, Ryan Hoersten, Jeremy Smith, Drew Grone and Allen Fisch- bach. Both teams are advised by Jeff Jostpille. This is Jostpille’s 17th year with teams at Fort Jennings and his 17th trip to state with them. He spent six years prior with Envirothon teams from St. John’s High School. Kloeppel remembers D-Day BY HELEN KAVERMAN DHI Media Correspondent [email protected] DELPHOS – On June 6, the free world commemorated and celebrated the 70th Anniversary of D-Day, the invasion of Normandy during World War II. This was a turning point in the war but many brave men gave their lives for that cause. Melvin Kloeppel of Delphos was one of those brave men who landed on Oma- ha Beach. Kloeppel and his wife, Alma, live on their farm north of Delphos. Mel- vin will celebrate his 94th birthday on June 19. Alma turned 91 in March. Kloeppel saw 11 different countries while he was serving during World War II. He went across Europe from France to Lenz, Austria — all the way in combat. He served in Pattons’s Army and the Battle of the Bulge and ended up in Lenz, Austria, two days before the war ended. He was awarded the highest award, The Bronze Star. He was injured during combat and the medic treated him for the burn on his neck. “The medic told me if I went to the officer’s tent to be treated, I would have been awarded the Purple Heart,” Kloep- pel recalled. “I preferred to stay right where I was, rather than risk being hit by a bullet going from one place to another.” Before D-Day, most of the soldiers had been stationed across the channel in the United Kingdom. They boarded the ships the night before the invasion. “We didn’t know what to expect but in the morning, we were told to eat a good hot breakfast because it might be the last one for awhile,” Kloeppel said. “That was also the last warm bed for months. Many times we slept in the snow.” The troops disembarked the ships to the amphibious craft and had to wade through water to get to the beach and then climb up the cliffs while under fire. From there it was months of combat. “When we reached the top of the cliffs, we saw dead bodies all over,” Kloeppel said.

(Submitted photo) US home ownership dips to 1995 rates BY STEPHANIE GROVES DHI MEDIA Staff Writer [email protected] DELPHOS — Many factors are suppressing the American Dream. The reality of owning a home has been stifled by high unemployment, stringent lending practices and higher house prices and is pushing buying a home out of the reach of many Americans. According to the U.S. Cen- sus Bureau, the American home ownership rate stands at 64.8 percent in the first quarter of 2014. In 2004, the rate peaked at 69.2 percent and has steadily decreased 4.4 percent. Current rates are similar to those in the second and third quarters of 1995 which were 64.7 and 65 percent. Drops in Ohio home ownership rates almost mirror the U.S. decrease. In 2012, only 67.9 percent of Ohio residents owned their homes after a steady decrease from 73.3 percent in 2005, which is a decrease of 4.2 percent. The current rate of home ownership is significantly less (1.3 percent) than in 1996, which stood at 69.2 percent. The low ownership rate suggests the housing market recovery of the last three years was driven by investors who were snapping up properties and converting them into rental units. June is National Hom- eownership Month and a time to reflect on what homeown- ership means to individuals and families. A house is a financial asset, a place to live and raise children, a plan for the future and an investment in the community. It is also a time to reassess personal and/ or financial goals when plan- ning for the purchase of a new home. ENVIROTHON/A8 HOME OWNERSHIP/A8 Melvin Kloeppel and wife Alma pose for a photograph.

Cox, 67, of Van Wert, died at 1:19 a.m. Monday, June 2, 2014, at Van Wert County Hos- pital, Van Wert. She was born May 29, 1947, in Sandusky, Ohio, to the late Vivian (Dice) Tea and Woodrow Tea. Her husband, Bradley J. Cox, is deceased. Survivors include a child, Rickie Bradshaw, Jr. of Van Wert. Private family services were held.

Each of the three — 31-year-old Derek Showalter, 28-year-old Jessica L. Thomp- son, and 27-year-old Brandon L. Thompson — were arrested and jailed. Showwalter and Jes- sica Thompson were charged with second-degree felony heroin possession, and Bran- don Thompson was charged with violating the terms of his probation. They will each be ar- raigned in Van Wert Municipal Court. According to Van Wert County Sheriff Thomas M. Riggenbach, the warrant was executed at 13027 U.S. 127 just north of Van Wert. An investigation had reported drug activity at that address. When officers arrived, they found a young child at the home. That child was turned over to Van Wert County Chil- dren’s Services. Inside the house officers seized hypoder- mic needles, money, a moder- ate amount of suspected heroin, a handgun, and some white powder suspected to be meth- amphetamine. According to Riggenbach, a nuisance abatement letter will be sent to notify the property owner of what occurred on this property. The letter directs property owners to take action in the hopes of preventing any future illegal activity. Riggen- bach said the law does allow for the seizure of property, if the property owner knowingly per- mits illegal activity to continue within their property. Anyone with information on drug activity should contact the Van Wert County Sheriff’s Office at (419) 238-3866, use the “Submit a Crime Tip” tab at www.vanwertcountysheriff. com or contacting Crime Stop- pers at (419) 238-STOP. The West Central Ohio Crime Task Force is made up of officers from the Van Wert County Sheriff’s Office, Allen County Sheriff’s Office, Lima Police Department, Paulding County Sheriff’s Office and several state and federal agen- cies. The West Central Ohio Crime Task Force operates within a multi-county area to combat drugs and major crimes. Three jailed in Van Wert drug raid Derek Showalter Jessica L. Thompson Brandon L.

Kokomo Fire Department Chief Pat O’Neill says a rescue team entered the pit Friday morning and rescued the worker, who was then transported to Community Howard Regional Health for treatment. The Kokomo Tribune reports the name of the worker hasn’t been released. The 58-year-old Kokomo Transmission Plant is one of three transmission plants the automaker operates in the Kokomo area. Worker falls into pit at plant EATONTON, Ga. (AP) — The unsolved beheading of a retiree and the killing of his elderly wife has so rattled their gated, lakeside Georgia community that neighbors are cast- ing about for even outlandish explanations. Was it a mob hit? A drug dealer? A hungry alliga- tor? The peaceful neighborhood where the couple was found dead hadn’t seen as much as a burglary in recent memory. Then, in early May, concerned friends found the head- less body of Russell Dermond, 88, in the garage of his home on Lake Oconee. Shirley Dermond, 87, was originally thought to have been abducted until her body was found a few weeks later in the lake. Russell Dermond’s head has still not been found. Even though law enforce- ment thinks the Dermonds likely knew the person or people who attacked them, their advanced age, the beheading after he was killed, and the fact that it all happened in a seemingly secure community that has a manned guardhouse has left neighbors rattled, according to Putnam County Sheriff How- ard Sills.

Through the eyes of teens Students from Jefferson Middle School recently visited the canal museum to find something of interest they could research and write about.

By the Delphos Canal Commission Photos submitted Glockenspiel by Alaina Kortokrax The Glockenspiel looks like a xylophone, but is closer to an instrument called a metallophone due to its higher pitch. Glockenspiel in a German name. Glocken means “bells” and spiel means “set” in German. Glockenspiels are popular among marching bands and military bands. Also, the glockenspiel belongs to the instrument family that includes marimbas and vibraphones. Unlike most of the instruments in its family, it can only play about three octaves. Wedding Dresses by Maggie Kimmett In 1840, Queen Victoria was the one to begin the tradi- tion of wedding dresses. Before that, the bride would wear a dress of any color like blue, black, red etc. Wedding dresses were more of a matter of politics than love. The more wealthy women would obviously have a more outstanding dress. Poorer farm women would just wear her best dress that she owned instead of a white wedding dress. In the 1900s, the wedding dresses were very lacy and had a thin see-through material. The dresses back then did not have many (if any) sparkles and “bling.” The larger/poof- ier dresses with more design and detail began to progress through the late 1900s and early 2000s. Lots of off-whites and eggshell colors were used in early wedding dresses. Also, in the mid-to-late 1900s, silk became a very popular fabric used in wedding dresses. Silk showed elegance and wealth. Instead of long veils that are worn today by brides, the brides back in the day would wear a fancy hat. Wedding dresses have taken a large progressive step in detail and design and they will continue to become more modified and “stylish.” Ultrasound Machines by Aaron Stant Ultrasound is energy created by sound waves that have a frequency above 20,000 Hz. This is far above the frequency that a human ear can detect. Ultrasound is commonly used by obstetricians to analyze the health of an unborn fetus. The process for this procedure is fascinating. The doctor rubs cool gel on the mother’s abdomen to improve the quality of the sound waves. Next, the doctor moves a transducer, a device that projects the sound waves, around the abdomen. The sound waves reflect back to the transducer from the tissues, which creates a picture on a screen. This can be very exciting for a parent because they are able to see the baby before it is born. Van Wert Farmers Market opens INFORMATION SUBMITTED VAN WERT — On June 7, the Van Wert Farmers Market, located at 500 Fox Road, opened the 2014 season, which begins the 41st year for the market. The cold ground, wet conditions of this spring delayed the planting of many vegeta- bles. The market on Saturday had only two vendors: Marsh Foundation and Windmill Acres. Available on Saturday were kohlrabi, strawberries, green onions, mixed leaf lettuce, head lettuce, kale, spinach, Swiss chard, herbs, vegetable plants and flowers (hanging baskets). The market is open from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Tuesdays and from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturdays. This Saturday, June 14, will be the third session of the young season. At several times during the 2013 season, the market had 10 vendors selling home- grown produce and home- baked goods. Possibly available Saturday will be green onions, kohlrabi, mixed lettuce, head lettuce, kale, Swiss chard, herbs, vegetable plants, jams. For information on the Van Wert Farmers Market, call Greg Ilderton at (419) 495-2630.

BY ANNE COBURN-GRIFFIS DHI Media Editor agriffi[email protected] OTTAWA — If your weekday schedule is such that you don’t watch much daytime television, then you probably haven’t caught the classic game show, “The Price is Right,” in a while. But if you are a Putnam County native, or better still, are acquainted with Ottawa resident Ruth Drerup, you probably made sure to catch the episode that aired on June 11. Ruth Drerup, Ottawa, was able to check a big item off her bucket list on April 15 when she appeared as a contestant on the daytime-TV staple, “The Price is Right.” As Drerup herself will tell you, everyone that knows her has been forewarned not to call her during the 11 o’clock hour, Monday through Friday, because she watches the show and has since the early days of its airing on CBS. She is such a fan that last Christmas her children presented her with a large envelope that contained tickets to the show as well as a fluorescent green shirt imprinted with “Ottawa, Ohio loves Drew Carey.” For those out of the loop, Carey took over as host of the show in 2007. “I don’t think she believed she was going until we booked the plane tickets,” said Drerup’s daughter, Mary Jo Williams. Williams and her sisters, Laurie and Lynn, accom- panied their mother to California as well as in “The Price is Right” audience. Although the show was filmed in April, Drerup wasn’t allowed, by the show’s producers, to reveal how she faired as a contestant until the episode rolled out to viewers around the world. In honor of the big reveal, the Drerups hosted a party at the Ottawa American Legion Post 63 on June 11. Friends and family packed the hall and crowded around every television to watch Drerup play the game that means so much to her. Her silence paid off. Because Drerup was able to keep mum about not only making it up on stage, spinning the wheel to land on a solid $100 which allowed her to move as one of two final contestants in the final showcase (she won), she will now be able to claim her big prize of trips to Seattle, Portugal and Australia — a prize package valued up to $41,000.

THOSE WERE THE DAYS A DHI Media publication Saturday, June 14 & Sunday, June 15, 2014 A5 BY KIRK DOUGAL DHI Media Group Publisher [email protected] The image is still easy to remember: A black and white video shows an angry man in a suit, shaking his finger as he speaks while flanked on both sides by Alabama National Guardsmen. It is the first memory of Governor George Wallace for most Americans as he vehemently protested the de- segregation of the University of Ala- bama in 1963. The civil rights movement was in full force with President Kennedy’s administration putting the pressure on southern states and institutions to accept the movement of the nation, 100 years after the Civil War, toward equal rights for African-Americans. Vivian Malone and James Hood were two African-American students who had attempted to enroll at the University of Alabama but were denied until federal action forced the school to accept them. Wallace’s views on segregation were well-pub- licized. He chose the University of Alabama incident to make his name nationally known and made his cer- emonial blockage of the door on television. No violence occurred on the Tuscaloosa campus during the dem- onstration though the two students did not attend classes that day. The next day, however, Malone and Hood were able to go to their respective courses without incident. They were tailed by federal marshals in their cars as the two walked to their classes and others were on duty outside the classroom buildings. A third Af- rican-American student, Dave Mc- Glathery, enrolled in the university later in the week. Not everyone who was working for change in the south was treated humanely and with respect. On the same day Malone and Hood went to their first classes on campus, civil rights leader Medgar Evers was shot and killed in the driveway of his Jackson, Mississippi, home. Events over two days reveal the depth of civil rights problems TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) – Gov . George C. Wallace barred the doors of the University of Alabama to two Negro students today and President Kennedy reacted by or- dering the Alabama National Guard into federal military service. Kennedy directed Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara to put in active service “any or all of the units of the army national guard and of the air national guard of the state” for an indefinite period. The President acted because, he said, his commands to Gov. George C. Wallace against “unlawful obstructions of justice” had not been obeyed. Gov. Wallace barred the doors of the university to the Negro students but federal authorities took them to the dormitories on the campus. Wallace stood in the doorway of the registration center but there was no physical confrontation involving the governor and the students. They sat in a car with windows rolled down outside the building to hear Wallace read a proclamation bar- ring them. “They will register today, they will go to school tomorrow,” Nich- olas Katzenbach, deputy U.S. at- torney general, told Wallace at the doorway. Shortly thereafter, Edwin C. Guthman, information chief for the Justice Department told news- men that the Negro students, Miss Vivian Malone and James Hood would be registered this afternoon. Whether federal troops might be on the scene could not be immediately determined. Guthman said the registration would take place in Foster Auditori- um, the building where Wallace had stood a few minutes earlier. He said they would pas through the doorway where Wallace had stood. The campus has more than 1,000 armed state forces sealing the entrances. However, Wallace had said before the Negroes arrived there would be no violence. He made his gesture – and it was a dramatic one – and may now make no further efforts to block the integration of the school. President Kennedy commanded him to “cease and desist” from any “illegal obstructions of justice.” The “cease and desist” order called for the prevention of “conspiracies or domestic violence” in the Alabama racial crisis. It commanded the governor and all others “engaged in or who may engage in unlawful obstructions of justice, assemblies, combinations, conspiracies or domestic violence in that state to cease and desist there from.” Wallace grimly said, “No com- ment” after the Kennedy proclamation was read and countered with: “I have a statement which I wish to read.” He then read his five-page statement. U.S., Alabama Jockey At University First Registration Effort Thwarted; Troops Called Out By Kirk Dougal FROM THE ARCHIVES Swing the bat! Being a Little League baseball coach is something I really enjoyed. It’s been more than three decades since I coached 8-to-10-year-old boys but I still remember the fun of teaching the boys the game of baseball and the challenges of trying to help the less talented ones. Each year I was blessed to have several players who could hit, run, field, throw and knew the basics of baseball. Each year I also had a few boys who did not even know how to hold the bat properly much less the rules of the game. We only had a couple of practices before we actually started playing games so there wasn’t much time to work with the kids, much less help those who didn’t seem to have much natural talent for the game. One of the best players on my team was my son, John. He and his big brother, Mike, (who played in the older boys league) were both “All Star” players. John would play wherever I asked him to. As an 8-year-old, John was one of the smallest players on my team. He played second base most of the time and also got experience as a pitcher and catcher. He pitched a complete game and was the winning pitcher in his first try at the position. Looking back, I realize how nervous he must have been about pitching for the first time. I can still remember him standing on the pitcher’s mound, taking a lot of deep breaths and looking kind of worried about letting down his team and his dad but he did great! One of my fun memories was the first time I had John put on the catcher’s equipment and play that position. The catcher’s equipment was too big for him but he was doing a good job when the home- base umpire called “time out.” The umpire motioned for me to come toward home plate so I walked over to see what he wanted. He was smiling and told me that I needed to help John “adjust his equipment.” We were both laughing when he pointed out to me that John’s protective cup had slid down his right leg. I helped make the adjustment and although John was probably a little embar- rassed, the game resumed. In 1982, I was the coach and sponsor of our team, Dan Ea- ton Photo. John was our short- stop and one of several really good players on our team. We won most of our games but my goal was for the boys to have fun, let everyone get to play, and try to win the game. Eric McClung was kind of a “Huckleberry Finn” looking kid. I don’t remember ever meeting his parents but someone dropped him off for the games and picked him up af- terwards. Eric was a lefty and one of the boys who had the potential to be pretty good but there was one big problem – he was afraid of the baseball! He played right field for us; remember everyone got to play. When the ball was hit toward him, instead of trying to catch it or stop it, he would jump out of the way and then run beside it or after it until it stopped rolling. Then he’d pick it up and try to throw it back in the direction of the infield. Sometimes he’d forget there was a game going on and I’d see him sitting down in the outfield picking dande- lions or perhaps looking for a four-leaf clover. I’d yell at him, “Eric, get your head back in the game. We need you to pay attention to what’s going on.” When I pitched to him in batting practice he could hit the ball. I guess he trusted that I wasn’t going to hit him with the baseball. But when he was at bat in the game his fear would take over. As the ball came toward home plate, Eric would get “happy feet” and start dancing backwards. He always ended up walking or striking out no matter how much I encouraged him to not be afraid, to hang in there and swing the bat. It was the last game of the year and Eric was the only player on the team who had never got a base hit. Before it was his turn to bat, I gave him the best coaching encouragement I could think of. I re- minded him that I didn’t care if he struck out, but to please swing the bat and try to hit the ball. If he wanted to move his hit feet while the pitch was coming to the plate just move them up and down; not backwards out of the batting box. Eric stepped up to the plate. “Swing the bat, Eric,” I yelled. “Come on, Eric. You can do it. Swing the bat!” As the pitcher completed his wind up and the ball headed toward home plate, I could see little Eric’s “happy feet” moving up and down, but this time he was not moving backwards. Eric swung the bat and made contact! The ball got past the pitcher and bounced off of second base. Eric had hit the ball, but there was a problem; he was so stunned about his success that he was still standing at home plate. I screamed in his direction, “Run, Eric, run!” and he took off. He was so excited that he didn’t stop at first base, but kept on running down the right field line. “Come back to first base, Eric. You did it. Great job!” I’ll never forget the big smile on Eric’s face as he stood on first base after getting his first base hit. As for his coach… I think I was even happier than he was! By Pastor Dan Eaton THE GOOD OLD DAYS BY KIRK DOUGAL DHI Media Group Publisher [email protected] 25 Years Ago This week in 1989, the Chinese government banned the worker and student groups that had been protesting for weeks. After the assault by troops on unarmed protesters in Tiananmen Square, officials went on to accuse the Ameri- can government and press of “rumor monger- ing” the situation. They also demanded the return of astrophysicist Fang Lizhi, the leader of the dissident movement, and his wife, Li Shux- ian, a professor at Beijing University. Both had been granted asylum at the U.S. Embassy in Beijing. Van Wert’s Sarah Evans, the reigning Miss Ohio, was expected back in the area in July. It was announced Evans would be visiting the Old Fashioned Farmers Days celebration at the Van Wert County Fairgrounds where she would be the emcee for the fiddler contest. Delphos Jaycees held their annual installation banquet at Jaycee Hall. The year-end awards were presented at the banquet with the Chapter Keyman Award going to Chuck Bridges and the Jaycee of the Year Award going to Dave Klaus. Jaycee of the Month awards were presented to Mike Swick, Deb Schurger, Chuck Bridges, Tom Honigford, Deb Talboom and Deb Wade. 50 Years Ago This week in 1964, the U.S. Senate refused to hear more changes to the civil rights bill, voting 71-29 for cloture. The vote effectively ended the filibuster by Southern Democrat senators who were attempting to derail the legislation. The vote drew the anger of many from the South, including Sen. Richard Rus- sell (D-Ga) who shouted, “In the spirit of the lynch mob!” The Brumback Library announced it was expecting 1,200 children to participate in the Summer Reading Program. Head librarian Elizabeth Rex reported the library had borrowed books from the surrounding school districts to ensure they had plenty of reading material. The theme of the 1964 program was “Sail Into the Sea of Reading Pleasure.” Four Delphos girls, Janet Scherger and Mary Weisgerber of St. John’s High School, and Linda Truesdale and Sally O’Bryant, of Jefferson, planned to attend the 18th annual Buckeye Girls State sessions slated for the week of June 20-28. That year, the eight-day government-in-action workshop was held on the campus of Capital University in Colum- bus, and was sponsored by the Ohio American Legion Auxiliary. 75 Years Ago This week in 1939, tensions continued to mount between Germany and Poland following a fatal border shooting. Erwin Lubetzki, a German citizen, had tried to cross into Germa- ny without the proper credentials and was shot by Polish soldiers. Also adding to the flames was a series of anti-German articles printed in Polish newspapers. Van Wert suffered through several inches of rain and high winds but reported relatively light damage after a storm system passed through the area. A few trees blown over, downed power lines, and a fire caused by a lightning strike on North Market Street were the extent locally, but other areas were not so lucky. One woman was killed in Hicksville when a tree blew on top of the car she was in and in Bryan, the Spangler Candy Company building received an estimated $40,000 worth of damage. A. J. Weber planned to go to Chillicothe on June 25 to attend the annual reunion of Ambu- lance Company No. 332. Weber was the only member of the company living in Delphos but there were members in Fort Jennings, Kalida and Ottoville. Ambulance Company No. 332 was organized in October 1917 at Camp Sher- man. The group served overseas as a unit of the 83rd Division but was transferred late and made a part of the Third Army Corps. 25, 50, and 75 Years Ago CIVIL RIGHTS/A8 ALABAMA/A8 GOOD/A8 y Pain Doctor Discovers Blood Flow- Busting Material Into ‘Miracle Socks’ for 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 - UNTIL NOW!” PAÌD ADVERTÌSEMENT What part of your swollen, tired, or achy feet would you like to see ‘go-away’? If you suffer from poor circulation, injury, swelling or any condition that leaves your feet fatigued and sore, then read on to discover the breakthrough that can change your life. Good news comes in the form of a ‘pain-busting microfiber’ that is used to weave a circulation-boosting sock, called Bambusa TM . Better Blood Flow The ‘miracle sock’ is made from a new, patented anion-technology that is weaved into every strand of thread used to make a Bambusa TM sock. This special micro-fiber thread is made from revolutionary bamboo charcoal to stimulate blood flow and revitalize feet. When this material comes in contact with body-heat it is proven to release circulation-boosting ions. The 3D-weave technology used in the material has been compared to infrared light therapy to help revitalize stiff and sore muscles. The manufacturer, who also makes a back and wrist sleeve, says the material provides almost instant relief to any part of the body it touches, making it ideal for diabetics, athletes, inflammation, stiffness and swelling. Anne M. from California agrees. “Bambusa socks are absolutely the most comfortable socks I have ever worn! My feet are no longer fatigued!” Therapy Without A Prescription! When the socks were pho- tographed using a thermographic imaging camera, results showed up to a 17% to 22% increase in blood flow. This helped to improve mus- cle oxygenation and decrease foot fatigue. The socks have been proven to provide extended relief from cold, swollen and fatigued feet. Doctor Recommended Pain specialist of 30 years, Dr. Jahner comments on the 3D-weave technology. “In- frared therapy has been used for years at medical clinics to treat vascular and circulatory conditions. Physical therapists use infrared therapy to speed recovery. Better blood flow equals less pain. This microfiber works much the same way.” "Circulatory dysfunction affects MOST of the adult population in the United States. Heart Disease, Strokes and Diabetic conditions are at epidemic levels; anything that improves circulation improves cel- lular health and vitality. I use the Bambusa product myself and rec- ommend it to my clients. It really works!” states Dr Jahner. Results in Minutes? John G. of California claims he felt immediate results with his tired, swollen feet. “Without exag- geration the relief was almost in- stantaneous. It is like a heating pad set to low and wrapped around my calf. I will be replacing my entire set of dress socks with these socks!” Relief for Tired, Swollen Feet Bambusa TM socks are not a medical device or compression socks because they don’t restrict blood flow. Utilizing the special negative- anion technology, they comfortably increase blood flow and oxygen to tissues. “My feet felt wonderful, cool, and I never got that pins and needles feeling anymore. I love my Bambusa TM socks,” says Nancy, from NJ. They are ideal for diabetics and those suffering from neuropathy or injury from repetitive use. Bam- busa TM socks can also bring comfort to tired legs within minutes of putting them on, energizing individuals who spend long hours on their feet. Goodbye to Pain and Numbness Marilyn H. has suffered persistent foot problems for years and no- ticed fast results. “The issue for me was persistent numbness in my toes - it was gone completely after a few days of wearing these socks! Being diabetic, I never had pain- free feet - UNTIL NOW!” “I went out on the golf course for 18 holes of golf, and when I got home my feet weren’t swollen, they weren’t sweating and my feet didn’t hurt,” says Lou B. from New York. BENEFITS: • Increased blood flow and oxygen • Reduced swelling and pain • Anti-microbial • Wicks away moisture • Increased range of motion IDEAL FOR: • Neuropathy • Raynaud's Syndrome • Cramping • Cold Feet Tom from NJ reports, “I suffer from chronic foot cramps. My feet were sore for days after the cramping. My wife gave me the Bam- busa TM socks, I wore them, and the foot cramps stopped. I replaced all my socks with Bambusa TM .

Ther mogr aphi c I magi ng The infrared anions generated by the charcoal bamboo increase blood flow and deliver oxygen to the tissues. After wearing for only minutes there is an increase in temperature due to the increased blood flow, resulting in improved comfort and reduced swelling. Twenty minutes after using the anion-fiber infused socks, patient has better blood flow and less numbness. After Wearing Bambusa TM sock Without Wearing Bambusa TM sock Max Temp with Bambusa TM 33.4 o C Max Temp with no Bambusa TM 29.4 o C Sunday is Father’s Day — a celebration of dad and all he does throughout the year. It can be a bittersweet day for those who no longer have the patriarch of the family around to honor. My father has been gone for seven years now and there are still times it feels like just a few months. It’s funny the things that stick in your mind about people when they are gone. Little things that don’t really mean anything — except to you. My father had many good qualities. He was honest, hardworking and always ready to extend help to others. He also had a few, well, let’s call them quirks. We had a summer cot- tage in Michigan for more than 20 years. Each weekend, we would pack up and travel north for fishing, swimming and a host of other activities. Packing the car was always dad’s job. First, just let me say the man had an uncanny ability to pack three cars’ worth of stuff in the back of our station wagon and still have clear vis- ibility in the rear-view mirror. Anyone who unwittingly put something in the car without his knowledge was quickly redressed. “Now, why would you put that there?” he would demand. “If you put it here, we still have room for…” And of course, he would be right. He also loved to mow the grass. I would watch him walk along behind the mower holding a conversation with him- self. Sometimes, I guess you just need to work things out on your own. My father was a very practical man. You could pres- ent him with a problem and he would, most times rather quickly, mull it over in his head and come up with a solution that was both feasible and logical. He was long on common sense and seemed able to consider the ramifications of an action with the speed of today’s computers. It always amazed and humbled me. He also made me feel special. I was his “doll.” We spent a lot of time together at the Marathon station and at home. I would follow him around and ask enough questions to make a monk break his vow of silence to tell me to shut up. I never heard that from him, though. Trips to the Eagles and VFW were always a treat. I would sit beside him on a bar stool sipping an orange soda and feeling like I was on top of the world as my feet dangled and I would swivel around enjoying the squeaks and squeals of my seat. There are still times I could really use my father’s no-non- sense approach to problems and I will forever miss him. It doesn’t hurt quite so much anymore that he is gone but I think I’ll go have an orange soda. Happy Father’s Day to one and all. I try to suppress a giggle whenever I hear someone in their twenties blurt out the assertion that they are getting old. Some- times it’s because they try to do something physical and fail, like pull themselves out of a chair or sofa. At other times, they may have forgotten the name of a former classmate or are feeling fatigued. As I approach middle-age, now that I’m in my 50s, it is mildly amusing when someone 30 years my junior claims to be getting “old.” In my twenties I was lacking in my knowledge of the world, yet I was still in as good of physical condition as I had been in high school. (That’s not saying much.) When I hear such silliness, I think to myself, “If she’s old, what does that make me?” (The answer is “hanging on by a thread, thank you.”) Like most people, I realize my age yet the affects of aging haven’t all sunken in. In short, I know I’m getting older, but I occasionally still think of myself as yet to reach my physical peak. Or my mental peak. Then I do something stupid, I try to watch a nighttime talk show like the Tonight Show or Late Night. That puts me in my place. Why? Because these guest stars are brought out to a wild audience reaction with cheers and screaming and the like, and I’m sitting there with one word in my mind — “Who?” If I know one of the guests on the Tonight Show, it’s a miracle. I remember growing up watching the Tonight Show when Johnny Carson ruled, not Jim- my Fallon. Back then, when I didn’t know a guest, it was probably because the guest’s career finished a few decades before I was born. That was rare, though, since I knew and appreciated Jack Benny, Groucho Marx, Lau- ren Bacall, and the rest of them. The problem today is that I don’t know the third lead actor in some series that you can only watch online or on one of the pay-cable movie networks. This week, my wife turned on a recorded version of Jim- my Fallon and I knew a guest. One guest. Barbara Walters — someone older than me. The new hip, modern stars meant absolutely nothing to me. And of course the hosts — Fallon, et. al. — kept talking about how much of a fan he is of this name- less so-called star.

It was a copy of Isaac Asimov’s guest column for the New York Times following his visit to the 1964 World’s Fair in New York City. Asimov - a professor of biochemistry at Boston University, noted futurist, and author of such science fiction classics as the Foundation and Robot series - was fascinated by what he saw at the event. At the height of the Cold War, the theme expressed hope with “Peace Through Understanding,” a line of thinking that also ran through most of his writings. However, what caught our eye is that Asimov offered several of his own visions of what someone in 2014, 50 years after the New York World’s Fair, would find at a current exposition. Here is a partial list of what Asimov thought we would see in 2014: - House windows would be self-dimming. This technology is available today in not only building windows but also in air- craft glass, boats, automobiles, and even in eye glasses (Yes). - An underground house at the Fair in 1964 made Asimov theorize entire neighborhoods, especially in suburbia, would be underground for easily controlled temperatures and energy savings. The surface would be used for agricultural means so food could be grown closer to urban markets (No). - Gadgets would be everywhere in 2014, saving people the time of performing all sorts of mundane tasks. Coffee pots would turn on with a timer and have a hot cup of joe ready in the morning (Yes). Auto meals would do much the same thing. A person could order their breakfast to be ready at a certain time and it would heat itself (No). Complete meals would be frozen and ready to be warmed in just a few minutes (Yes). - He predicted 3-D movies would be very popular (Yes). - Oddly, for a man who wrote about harmony between man- kind and robots in the future, Asimov predicted robots “would not be common or very good” in 2014. He said at best there might be an exhibit of a slow and clumsy robot maid and perhaps a robot landscaper but the machines would still not be fully functional yet (Yes). - Appliances would not have electric cords but instead be powered by batteries (Yes). Unfortunately, he said the power in those batteries would come from radioisotopes, a byproduct of all the fission power plants supplying more than half of the U.S. energy demand (No). - Asimov said the world would have become much small- er by 2014. Not in size, but in the amount of time it took to travel from place to place as faster planes (Yes) and a much more thorough road infrastructure (Yes) made it easier to get from Point A to Point B. However, just as every other futurist predicted, he believed flying cars would be available by now as well (No). However, what made those flying cars possible would be computer navigation that would leave the humans inside as just riders and not drivers. Google is experimenting with this technology and Nevada, Florida, and California have passed laws making it legal for driverless cars to operate on the roadways. (a marginal Yes). - Communications will entail both sight and sound (Yes), enable the studying of documents and books (Yes), and utilize geosynchronous satellites to make it possible to dial directly to any place on earth (Yes). The transmission of communications and data would be possible on modulated laser beams through plastic pipes (Yes). - We would have permanent colonies on the moon (sadly, No, as we have not landed humans on the moon since 1972). Unfortunately, Asimov predicted not everything in 2014 would be rosy. He also predicted: - Massive overpopulation as the world would now have 6.5 billion people (actually 7.2 billion, No) and the U.S. 350 million (actually 318 million, No). He saw the Boston to Washing- ton D.C. corridor as one massive city with 40 million residents (No). He predicted the overcrowding would make humans begin colonizing undersea cities (No). He believed most developed countries would have adopted legislation to regulate the number of children by now to reduce population (No). - Food shortages and starvation would be rampant until scientists invented micro-organism farms. A dinner out would most likely include a “mock-turkey” sandwich or a “pseudo- steak” (No). - Asimov saw America remaining on the cutting edge of technology but the gap between the haves and have-nots would widen with third world countries falling even further behind in machinery, medicines, etc. (Yes) - Students would be taught the fundamentals of computers as a routine part of classroom studies. Those students who do not keep up with those studies or lived in areas where computer studies were not taught would be reduced to low-level, menial jobs in the workplace - if they could find work at all (a qualified Yes). - Perhaps most frightening, because of all the automation that would be in place by 2014, Asimov foresaw mental disease spreading quickly through large parts of the population. Without healthy, fulfilling work, these segments would suffer through grave emotional and sociological consequences that could lead to introverted and narcissistic tendencies, forcing the need to be treated by the fastest growing medical profes- sion: psychiatry. (Yes) EDITORIAL/A7 Do Something Who is that again? Happy Fathers Day to all! To the editor, The 4-H Chicken BBQ was Tuesday, June 10, from 3:30 to 7 p.m. and was quite a success. With selling over 1,700 dinners and amazing volunteers we couldn’t be happier. There was a lot of team work and people coming together to make it happen. People from the community were able to drive through and pick up dinners or come in and dine, where they were served with water or lemonade with their meals. We would like to give a big thank you to the Chik-N-House in Delphos for the amazingly cooked chicken and meal, Sue Hempfling who is head of the 4-H BBQ committee on the 4-H Council, and to all the volunteers and kids who came out and helped make this a success. Most importantly we would like to thank anyone who came out and supported the 4-H program and kids by buying dinners. Hope to see you all next year for the Chicken BBQ! Van Wert Co. Extension To the editor, The Van Wert YMCA would like to give a thumbs up to the following businesses and individuals who were instrumental in the success of the Peony Pace 5k held in conjunction with the Peony Festival. Thanks to Statewide Ford, Eaton, and Emme Lu’s for their sponsorship and thanks also to Van Wert Manor for donating water for the event. Without many volunteers, a successful 5k would not be possible. Thanks to Steph Hep- peard, Martha Martin, Curt Shaffner, Mitch Price, Heather Tribolet, Kristin Lichtensteiger, Dalton West, Joey Schaufel- berger, Erin Schaufelberger, and Alli Schaufelberger for sacri- ficing their time on a Saturday morning to help. Finally, thumbs up to Eaton and Central Mutual corpora- tions for submitting a combined total of six teams for the Cor- porate division of the race and a huge thanks to the winning team from Central Mutual who donated their winnings back to the YMCA! It is very much appreciated! We look forward to seeing some of you at the Warrior in Pink Benefit 5k to be held Sept. 6 as a benefit to Susan G Ko- men. Julie Schaufelberger Wellness Director YMCA of Van Wert To the editor, A huge thumbs down to a local auto dealer in Van Wert. On May 27, I test drove a used vehicle there. It was a warm day so I turned on the air conditioner. It just blew out hot air. The salesman eluded to the fact that it probably just needed charged up. He said they would take a look at it. After being given what I thought was too low of a trade in value for my auto the salesman came back and said they would discount the vehicle I was thinking of purchasing and gave me a better trade in value on my car. I asked about the air conditioner and they said they would not charge it up because it was normal wear and tear.

Market Street Van Wert, OH 45891 419-238-5480 OH License #20401 The AP Government students of Van Wert High School will be submitting a weekly editorial to inform the public on a variety of issues. They have been encouraged to research, take a position, and defend their reasoning for having such thoughts. The purpose of these editorials is to provide awareness and knowledge for the community and to be thought provoking. The views expressed in these editorials do not represent Van Wert High School, and are written solely by the student author. There are more than 10 million children in this world without homes. Twenty million kids in this world have no family, nor anyone to care for them. With this deprivation of love, too many children are growing up with mental and physical disabilities, as well as possessing a multitude of psychiatric issues. Love has a huge impact on all our lives. Our government is trying to pass a bill for international children that we can’t reach here in the U.S. These children don’t have a voice to reach for help, and that’s why the CHIFF bill needs to be passed. The CHIFF bill stands for children in families first. This act is trying to give every child a family to live in. It was sponsored in the Senate by Senators Landrieu and Blunt and in the House by Representa- tives Granger and Bass. In Ohio, no one is sponsoring this bill, and this is why we as the people need to write to our elected officials and ask to be a part of this bill. This bill creates an effective child welfare system. This system would assist in family preservation, reuniting families together, kin- ship, domestic adoption, and international adoption. If this bill would pass, it would decrease human trafficking and the sex trade. The average age for children involved in sex trafficking is 13. These kids on average are forced into sex, 20-48 times a day, because they are left on the streets or have ran away. No one deserves to be in these terrible conditions, so please take a stand and voice your opinion to our representatives. You can make a difference, as long as you don’t stay mute just as everyone else. Take a stand for what is right! It has been said: one father is worth more than a hundred schoolmasters. It is important to have a father in the home for the life lessons he can pass on to his children. New babies make men out of fathers and boys out of grandfathers. The best years of fatherhood are when your kids are old enough to wash your car but too young to drive it. Many a father works hard to keep the wolf from the door, then his daughter grows up and brings one home. It is not easy to be a parent, but it is vital to have both a mother and father in the home raising children. Sonora Smart was one of six children. When she was still very young, her mother passed away. Sonora and her five brothers were raised by their father, William Smart, a vet- eran of the Civil War. In 1909, Sonora, now Mrs. John Dodd, living in Spokane, Washington, got the idea for Father’s Day. She wanted the celebration to be the first Sunday of June in 1910 because that would have been her father’s birthday, but the local ministers had a conflict with that Sunday, so it was agreed to mark the day on the third Sunday. Congress made Father’s Day a national holiday in 1971. What have we learned from our fathers the last 115 year? Here’s a sample of things learned that I found at the bottom of my “borrowed” file: My father taught me religion—“You better pray that stain will come out of the carpet.” He taught me about logic—“Because I said so, that’s why.” And he taught me about fore- sight—“Make sure you wear clean underwear in case you’re in an accident.” My father taught me about irony—“Keep cry- ing and I’ll give you something to cry about.” He taught me about the science of osmosis—“Shut your mouth and eat your supper.” Father taught me about contortionism—“Will you look at the dirt on the back of your neck!” My father taught me about stamina— “You’ll sit there until that spinach is all gone.” He taught me about weather—“This room of yours looks as if a tornado went through it.” And, he taught me about hypocrisy—“If I told you once, I’ve told you a million times, don’t exaggerate!” My father taught me the circle of life—“I helped bring you into this world and I can take you out.” My dad taught me about behavior modification—“Stop acting like your mother!” My father taught me about envy—“There are millions of less fortunate children in this world who don’t have wonderful parents like you do.” My father taught me about anticipation— “Just wait until we get home.” And, he taught me about receiving—“You are going to get it when you get home!” My dad taught me ESP —“Don’t give me that look, I know exactly what you’re thinking!” But most of all, my father taught me about justice. “One day you’ll have kids, and I hope they turn out just like you.” A DHI Media publication OPINIONS Saturday, June 14 & Sunday, June 15, 2014 A7 By Byron McNutt PEOPLE MAKE THE DIFFERENCE By Kaitlyn Hall WE THE PEOPLE What we learned from our fathers (From page A6) So why was this the time we found Asimov’s predictions so compelling? Because as we think of all the high school and college graduates stepping out into the real world for the first time, we know they will be receiving an overabundance of advice about their futures. Here is our contribution: Do something. Do something that in 50 years, when your work life is completed, you will be able to look back upon and say, “I did that.” Do something that your friends and neighbors will remember. Do something so people who never met you will be able to reap benefits. That something may be as important as finding a cure for cancer or inventing the Internet (sorry, Al Gore already beat you to that one). That something may be creating a piece of art or writing a book. That something may be only important to your family and friends. Fifty years ago, the World’s Fair in New York envisioned a pathway to the future. Sci- entists and inventors saw that pathway as a set of goals. Some of what Asimov predicted has come true and some is still just science fiction. But the important thing is people pushed the limits of what already was and strove for what could be. The first step of that process is to decide you are going to do something. EDITORIAL TWO CENTS THUMBS UP LETTERS (From page A6) When Letterman was on in the early days, he rarely had even met the guest before the band played the entrance music. Sometimes it even seemed that Letterman didn’t care much about the guests, just had to crank out another show. Usually, it seems I’d prefer it that way than with all the fawning over the guests by most of today’s hosts. I don’t want to watch a talk show host kiss up to a celebrity who isn’t really a celebrity in my book! I miss Carson. He really seemed to enjoy doing a show. He was genuine in interviews and funny as a performer. I always enjoyed Letterman. I realize he was an acquired taste, but we shared a sense of humor through the 80s and 90s. I think Jimmy Fallon is usually pretty funny, but I get tired of the kissing up and celebrating of celebrities, especially when I don’t know who they are. Maybe his show and others like it need a slow lane for those of us too old to know who some of these goo- bers are and why we should bother tuning in to watch their segment? Or maybe we can all stop pretending that we care about them. I saw the little yard-ape called Honey Boo- Boo on earlier this week. The only reason I didn’t break the TV screen is that I can’t afford a new large-screen TV. Besides, I know where the power button is. A while back I just unplugged and turned off the satellite dish. That was OK, but I wanted to see some select programs. Please, just hold the celebration of minor celebrities or put that on the channels that I have blocked, OK? Maybe they can start a Kardashian News Network (KNN) and play that stuff with marathons of Inside Edition and the Oscars and Grammys and let the people who care for some reason indulge and let them worship celebrities to their hearts’ content. Then let them stand in the grocery checkout aisle for hours at a time at one of those lanes that never open, and allow them to read all the issues of People, Us, Them, and Star Weekly magazines. Let me get back to reality. That’s the way old folks like me want it. And get off my lawn! (From page A6) Thumbs down to the person who stole the hummingbird so- lar light off my mother’s grave at Ridge Cemetery. It wasn’t even there one month until you stole it. Hope you enjoy it. Thumbs down to the Huggy Bear campers who use Ridge Cemetery as a short cut to the truck stop and for allowing the kids to joyride on golf carts through the cemetery. The cemetery is not a place to play or walk your dog. How disrespectful! Kim Miller Middle Point Shame, shame to whoever took the hanging basket from our daughter’s grave at Wood- land Cemetery between Friday, June 6 and Monday, June 9, 2014. I know the Lord said vengeance is mine I will repay, but we, Brenda’s family, are very hurt that anyone would take flowers or anything from anyone’s grave. We put the hanging basket out there for her one year being gone from us and her birthday June 25. We watered them every third day. If you have any guts or remorse please take them back to her grave, or bring them to 525 Center St., Van Wert, and put them on the front porch. We will take them to her grave. Thank you from a very hurt dad. Rex and Kay Rodman and her three children, Sam, Brittani, Bethani Price Van Wert Congratulations to Todd Wol- frum on his article on Our New American Hero Bowe Bergdahl. I will look forward to more of his articles in the Times Bulletin. Jim Schneider Sr. Middle Point I would like to give two thumbs up to Todd Wolfrum for his article in the June 8 edition entitled “Bowe Bergdahl: The new American hero.” He sure hit the nail on the head with this one. Good writing. Mike Stanley Van Wert We the People…The Citizen and the Constitution (From page A6) At no time was I told by them that they were going to discount the vehicle because they were concerned about the air conditioner compressor. If this was checked out by their service people they would certainly known about it. Had I known it was the problem and that the cost is over a thousand dollars to fix, I would have never done the deal. To say they were duplici- tous in dealing with me may be a bit harsh, but their lack of transparency is outrageous at best. After having the vehicle looked at by another repair facility in town and learning of the problem, I went back to the dealership and tried to get the problem resolved. I even offered to pay half of the repairs at their cost. Their basic response was you bought it “as is” and we won’t do anything for you. Maybe I am naïve or look at the world through rose col- ored glasses, but whatever happened to a sense of de- cency and fair play. Evidently it is not part of that dealership’s policy. If you intend to purchase a vehicle from these people (and I strongly suggest that you do not) make sure that you have a portable re- corder with you and record the entire conversation and that way you won’t be left with that funny feeling in your backside like I have. I am not sure of the mission statement of that dealership, but it should read “Maximize profits no matter who gets the shaft, as long as it is not us.” David Scott Van Wert To the editor, We would like to thank all the people for their support, time, encouragement and countless hours bettering our students personally and physically. Thank you to Coach Matt Langdon and his family, Coach Al Arnold and his wife, and Coach Ben Cowan for directly supporting Hannah in her journey to the state track and field meet in Columbus. Also, to Mr. Snyder and his family for making the presentation of her medal such a spectacular event. Thank you Lincolnview Athletic Booster Club for a wonderful ad placed in the paper and thumbs up to the Middle Point Fire Department for a huge escort with all their vehicles and volunteers. There are countless others who text, tweeted and Facebook’d many wonderful words of encouragement and congratulations! And lastly, but not least to her dedicated student coaches, fellow track members, friends and relatives that made the trip extra special! Mark, Michele and Han- nah McCleery Go Lancers! #The Lancer Way Van Wert Area family says thank you If he runs in 2016, Ben Car- son will be the first presiden- tial candidate since George Washington who can put “performed miracles” on his resume. Washington pulled off the impossible by winning the American Revolution. Carson’s miracles came in the world of brain surgery back in the 1980s. The movie Gifted Hands, a biopic starring Cuba Good- ing, Jr., captures Carson’s rise from poverty and ignorance in 1960s Detroit. Carson’s mother, who saw her sons failing in school but could not even read herself, turned young Ben’s life around when she shut off the television and made him and his older brother start reading two books a week. The track from there to performing unimagined procedures on the operating table and saving the lives of children makes for a good flick. Carson is being recruited by an element in the Republi- can Party to run for the highest office in the world in 2016. According to his last two books, “America the Beau- tiful” (2012) and “One Na- tion” (last month), this could be problematic. Carson is a professed independent who identifies bipartisan rancor as one of our country’s defining problems. In short, he’s not your typical party-line candidate and won’t be. If he de- cides to run as a Republican, it will be on his own terms. Republicans, at least conservative Republicans, should be able to live with that. Car- son worships in the temple of logic. Although in his books he repeatedly emphasizes how everyone needs to examine both sides of any argument, whenever he applies reason to a current issue, he lands squarely in the conservative camp. One could say he’s right-thinking. In fact, the problem with a Carson candidacy may be his love of meditative deduction. The American public long ago abandoned logic in its politics. We like to applaud, not think, at the end of a politician saying something. Mostly, we already have our minds made up and just want someone to say what we’re already thinking. It’s too early to tell if Carson will be able to maintain the soft-spoken, patient approach that he now takes with the media after the media, which never much cares for long- term reasoned approaches, turns on him, and it will. He advocates cutting cor- porate tax rates (America has the highest in the world) to spur economic growth. He advocates self-reliance and not handouts to eliminate poverty. He advocates what amounts to a flat tax on income. He also strongly advocates against Obamacare. What he does that Republicans haven’t been able to do is provide a viable alternative. His plan highlights expanded Health Savings Accounts to encourage patient responsibility and government-funded medical school for aspiring doctors – his closest thing to a liberal proposal. As a surgeon, he knows that tort reform is an absolute must. To balance the budget, he proposes an across the board cut in every federal agency of 10%. If that doesn’t fix it, another 10% cut the next year. That would be a practical way to get there and force tough decisions on the people who are supposed to be making them instead of on the next two or three generations. Carson brings what few other conservatives can: street cred. As an African-Ameri- can from Detroit, he may say many of the same things Mitt Romney said, but no minor- ity from the inner city gave a flying expletive what Romney ever had to say about anything – they tuned out at “I’m Mitt Romn-.” Romney was a good guy and did his mission work, and, most importantly, was right in his arguments. But he never lived in hopeless poverty. And although Bill Cosby has been preaching self-reliance and the value of the traditional family to the Af- rican-American community for years, there is still a “yeah, but” attitude when the likes of Cosby, people with extraordi- nary talent, say it. Might as well be Michael Jordan saying that if you just work hard, you can be like Mike. (But what if I can’t jump?) Carson’s life is on display and it’s something real - start by reading two books a week. Carson experienced racism when racism wasn’t taboo and he doesn’t hold grudges about it, at least not outward- ly. In 2012, President Obama got 100 percent of the vote in some all black districts. Car- son v. Hillary – those districts are up for grabs. And as a man of a more accepted faith, the Evangelicals who stayed home rather than vote for a Mormon would be out in full force for Carson. Further, I would wa- ger that over 95 percent of the people who voted for Mitt would also vote for Ben. It may take someone with these kinds of credentials to do some of the things that obviously need done and someone of Carson’s intellect to do other things that aren’t so obvious. If he does run, he will be coming at a perfect time for conservatism. After an eight- year experiment with social- ism, America will be primed for the opposite. Take the time to read his books and watch his movie – this might be the guy who could save us all.

Wolfrum CITIZEN WOLFRUM op2 A8 Saturday, June 14 & Sunday, June 15, 2014 JUMP Times Bulletin/Delphos Herald ENVIROTHON (From page A1) “I was advisor at Delphos St. John’s for six years. The Allen Soil and Water office had this ‘new’ competition back then. I think it was only three years-old or so and asked if we wanted to join,” Jostpille recalled. “I have now been to state with every one of my Jennings teams and most of those Delphos ones, too. My first two years at Jennings, 1996 and 1997, I still coached St. John’s and we won state and were able to go to nationals in Nebraska the first year and Pennsylvania the next. We finished seventh in the nation in 1997. “With Fort Jennings, we have been state runner-up three times. Finishing last year, we tied out of 700 points and lost the tie-breaker or we would have been in Montana for nationals.” Jostpille said he loves what he does and it allows him to see parts of his home state he might not otherwise visit. “I enjoy the topic of course. I have been able to learn more about soils, forestry, aquatics, etc., by teaching and preparing for this competition than in any class I ever took. I enjoy getting to go all around the state for the Area I and then state competitions. I have been to almost every college and university in the state and now all the state parks. We have a beautiful and very di- verse state here in Ohio,” Jos- tpille said. During the competition, students compete by answer- ing questions as a team at field test sites and prepare a short oral presentation on the theme of the year. Monday morning and afternoon are spent at the test site working on the tests and for four hours Monday evening, the teams work on preparing their presentations which must include visual displays also. The team advisors are not allowed to be with their team at any of the testing or preparing times. Tuesday the teams are assigned a time to give their presentation in front of a three judge panel that includes local resource people, EPA representatives, local government officials, college profes- sors or Ohio Department of Natural Resource personnel. An awards banquet is held on Tuesday afternoon with the winner representing Ohio at the North American Envi- rothon. Jostpille said the secret to his teams’ successes is simple. “The key is the kids and the amount of time they put into this. It is all volunteer,” he said. “We practice at 8 p.m. after everyone else is done and goes home and on Sundays or any time we can. We meet two times a week from January to May,” he said. “They enjoy the competition and they see the success we have had and want to continue that; and get that elusive state championship!” While a lot of work is done in the classroom, as environmental implies, a lot of field work is also involved. “We then start studying the five areas we will be tested on, we go out to Kendrick Woods and some of the county parks in Findlay to study and identify trees. We have posters and field guides to study wildlife - pelts, tracks, skulls, etc.,” Jost- pille said. “We go kick seining in the river for aquatic insects and sometimes I have a professional in the field come in or we go somewhere to meet them and they help with the topic where I can’t.” Jostpille and his students have an eye to the future and make sure they explore different career paths that could be taken dealing with what they learn. “We take a field trip in May to to meet with environmental engineers at different places for more background knowledge of what jobs and careers are actually out there. Exam- ples include Ford, Procter and Gamble, GM in Defiance, the Husky refinery, Campbell’s in Napoleon, a mega farm in Montpelier, etc.,” he said. “We have been very lucky to do all these things over the years. This year, we went to the Uni- versity of Findlay to their program on environmental education and hazardous waste management. “I have had students graduate from that program over the years and are working everyday in the field. Numerous other students have branched out to include environmental fields in their majors too. This is very rewarding and important, also,” he added. HOME OWNERSHIP (From page A1) Agent Krista Schrader of Schrader Reality said the Delphos market is stable and in the last six months, according to the West Central Association of Realtors data, 22 homes have sold in the Delphos area. “The prices ranged from $11,000 to $282,000, with the majority selling this spring,” she said. “The spring market has showed many buyers out looking, our office is busy with daily showings, open houses and appointments educating buyers on the home process.” She said there are an additional five homes in this data showing sale pending, awaiting closing. The listings outweigh the purchases, but Delphos is still a stable real estate market and buyers are actively out looking. “Our buyers range from first time home buyers to people looking to downsize,” she explained. “So, there is a range of the types of buyers.” Schrader said she feels the Delphos market is stronger than three years ago. “We aren’t as strong as I would like to see but we are headed up instead of down and that’s a plus,” she exclaimed. Buying a first house is very emotional and financing the purchase can be an intimidating experience. It takes research and careful shopping to find the home families want and need and deciding how much to spend and which type of mortgage will work best, can be confusing. It’s beneficial to do some footwork and get prepared before stepping into a sales office, model home or open house. One of the first priorities for first time home buyers is to get familiar with the industry lingo. Acronyms like ARM (Adjustable Rate Mortgage), APR (Annual Percentage Rate), PITI (Principal, interest, taxes, and insurance) and RESPA (Real Estate Settle- ment Procedures Act) will be common terminology used during the home buying experience. First Federal’s Retail Lending Man- ager Vice President Elaine Evans said she likes to educate her customers. “I tell them no question is dumb unless they don’t ask it,” Evans explained. “Many people listen to their friends rather than talking with a professional.” She said before beginning house hunting, first-time buyers should get pre-approved so they know what they can afford and what type of program they qualify for. There are several programs available. “The most popular program is the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) Home Loan which requires no money down,” she detailed. USDA Home Loans are guaranteed and provide up to 100-percent financing for a home purchase or refinance. There are many qualifying factors for a USDA home loan, things such as income limits and loan amount may limit eligibility. “There are also 3.5-percent FHA (Federal Housing Administration) loans and conventional loans which require a minimum of five percent down,” Evans said. With a FHA loan, most closing costs and fees can be included in the loan. Evans said there are many variables taken into consideration when qualifying customers for a mortgage loan. “We look at the overall credit history,” she explained. “Mortgages are not cut and dried.” When it comes to deciding on a price range customer’s want to pay for a home, it has to be a comfortable figure for the home buyer. “I can show them on paper what they can afford but, I don’t know how they want to live,” Evans said. She said customers should be monitoring their credit report and can do that for free through the federal website annualcreditreport.com. “Even if people are not looking for loans, it is a good preventative maintenance measure to check on credit accounts,” she emphasized. “We review their credit and I instruct them what to do to clean up it up.” The next step is to pay down credit card debt which limits what customers qualify for from a lender. “Right now, we’re seeing young people with no credit,” Evans explained. “They can get a credit card, use it to fill their vehicle with a tank of gas and pay it off every month. That builds credit.” She said some credit cards can harm you when trying to get a mortgage. Opening up a brand new loan — for a car or other large purchase — and closing out multiple credit cards can also hurt credit scores. Maintaining a budget is also very important as well as changing behav- iors — making coffee at home rather than buying it at the gas station, walking rather than driving, eliminating impulse buying, etc. — to save money. She said it’s surprising how many people don’t have a budget. “I tell customers to write down everything they purchase for a month so they know where their money goes,” Evans said. “It’s amazing, the amount of money people don’t know they are spending.” She said customers return later after becoming more financially fit and they look at applying for a mortgage loan again. “Even if a customer still has credit card balances and pays $900 in rent, we may be able to get them approved for a $600 house payment,” Evans detailed. D-DAY (From page A1) This would later become the Omaha (or Normandy) cemetery, which many have seen on television. Prior to the actual invasion, bombers flew over and knocked out strategic areas and radar, etc. Then shortly after midnight, paratroopers were dropped. Many of them were killed in the process. A Delphos native, the late Dutch Nagel, was one of those paratroopers who landed and survived. Next the gliders came in carrying heavy equipment, such as half-track, etc. The troops started to land on the beach at 6:30 a.m. The landing location was a 50-mile stretch, divided into five sectors: Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno and Sword Beach. Causali- ties were heaviest at Omaha, with the high cliffs. Allied casualties on D-Day were at least 12,000 with 4,414 con- firmed dead. The U.S. Navy also suffered causalities. Allied losses to mines included USS Corry off Utah Beach and USS PC – 1261, a 173- foot patrol boat. In addition, many landing craft were lost. The invasion was so massive the numbers are mind boggling. Nearly 160,000 troops crossed the Eng- lish Channel on D-D with 875,000 men disembarking by the end of June. The Al- lied divisions taking part came from Britain, USA, Canada, Polish and French. The French Resistance (underground) covered the sab- otage, destroying railroads and bridges. The invasion fleet was drawn from eight different navies, comprising 6,939 vessels. Adolf Hitler came to power in Germany in 1933, after he managed to convert many of his countrymen to the Third Reich or Nazism. By the time of the Nor- mandy Invasion, Hitler and his Nazi Army had overrun most of Europe. The United States of America got into the war after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. Thus it was fighting a war against Japan in the Pacific and a war against Hitler and Mus- solini in Europe and North Africa. Hitler started World War II for the deliberate purpose of subjugating Europe and establishing eventual world rule of his “master race.” The ruination of Germany by the Nazis was one of the bleakest pages in history. Hitler declared war on all political opposition. The procedure was arrest, secret and unexplained by the Gestapo or SS, and trial in secret, without defense. Vic- tims were put in protective custody in concentration camps. CIVIL RIGHTS (From page A5) Evers had grown up on a small farm outside Decatur, Mississippi, where he needed to walk 12 miles each way just to attend high school because of segregation. He joined the U.S. Army and served three years during World War II, taking part in the Battle of Normandy. Evers later graduated from what is now Alcorn State University where he ma- jored in business administration. He was also a member of the football, track and de- bate teams, as well as singing in the choir and being elected the junior class president. He later applied to attend the still segregated University of Mis- sissippi Law School but was rejected. After the rejection, Evers became more active in the Civil Rights cause. He became the NAACP’s first field secretary for the state of Mis- sissippi, where he helped to organize protests. He helped James Meredith attempt to enroll at the University of Mis- sissippi in 1961 and was a part of the team that organized the Biloxi Wade-Ins, a protest against the segregation of the Mississippi Gulf Coast beach- es. He was also a very vocal member of the investigation into Emmett Till’s murder. However, much like Dr. Mar- tin Luther King Jr., Evers ad- vocated for peaceful protests to find a solution to the civil rights problems in the South. Evers was killed only hours after President Kennedy gave a nationally televised speech about his administration’s support of the civil rights cause. Returning from a NAACP meeting, he was shot in the back in his driveway as he exited his car. The events of these two days in June of 1963 revealed the depth of the civil rights problems in the South to the rest of the nation. President Kennedy continued to press for change until his assassina- tion and then President John- son completed the work. Here now is a reprint of the June 11, 1963, Van Wert Times-Bulletin article de- tailing the “Standing in the Schoolhouse Door.” ALABAMA (From page A5) Before retiring Monday night, he told news- men he would stand in the doorway today to prevent Vivian Malone and James Hood from registering. When asked if he would physically stand in the doorway, Wallace replied: “How else can you stand there?” Wallace rebuffed a personal appeal from President Kennedy, who wired the governor: “I urgently ask you to consider the consequences to your state and its fine university if you persist in setting an example of defiant conduct and urge you instead to leave these matters in the courts of law where they belong.” Kennedy said there would be little danger of violence at the university if Wallace would stay away from the campus. In reply, Wallace sent the President this telegram: “My presence hear guarantees peace. This is the opinion of all here familiar with the facts, including the legislature of Alabama and the president of the University of Alabama.” The university Board of Trustees backed Wallace. The university campus was tightly sealed. Blue-uniformed state troopers manned wooden barricades; they checked credentials of everyone who approached and kept a sharp eye on groups that formed nearby. They patrolled the streets in squad cars and thronged the entrance and the lobby of the ho- tel where Wallace spent the night. Col. Albert Lingo, state public safety director, said arrests had reached 22 up to the day of the arrival of the two Negro students. Those arrested were charged with illegal possession of weapons that ranged from pistols and clubs to bayonets, swords, tear gas equipment and needle-pointed hooks used for moving cotton bales. Lingo said a Negro was arrested Monday when four sticks of dynamite were found in his home. On every hand, automobiles flaunted flags of the Confederacy. One, attached to the radio antenna, was at half-staff. Wallace arrived in this nervous and appre- hensive city Monday afternoon. Wallace toured the campus, shook hands with state troopers and students and visited the armory where National Guardsmen are on standby duty. GOOD (From page A5) Being a pastor is a lot like being a coach. I like to give people a chance to discover and develop their God-given gifts. I wish we looked at life more like we do baseball. In our lives, we tend to focus more on our failures than we do our successes. In baseball, if you get a hit three out of every ten times at bat, you’re considered a really good hitter. We focus more on the three successes than we do on the seven failures. So here’s my coaching tip for your life today. Don’t be afraid of failure. You can’t get a hit if you don’t swing the bat. Don’t be afraid. Don’t let fear rob you of chasing after your dreams. You can do it. Swing the bat! Read the Classifieds Melvin Kloeppel was awarded the Bronze Star for his service in WWII.

(Call for details) A DHI Media Publication serving Van Wert, Delphos & Area Communities SATURDAY, JUNE 14 & SUNDAY, JUNE 15, 2014 B1 BY JIM METCALFE DHI Media Sports Editor jmetcalfe@delphosherald. com DELPHOS — For many high-school athletes, the summer between their junior and senior years is when they get really serious about their college plans, when they get more and more letters of interest, getting invited to camps and such and focus on their senior seasons. For Jefferson senior-to-be football player Jordan Mc- Cann, those plans will continue to come together as he has been invited to attend the Blue-Grey Super Combine next Friday and Saturday at Canton’s Fawcett Stadium, home of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. “I got a letter through school. I went to a camp in Cincinnati earlier this spring and apparently based on that and what I did last season as a junior, they invited me to attend,” McCann noted. “I was with the defensive ends at the Cincinnati camp and basically it was a passing camp. We had a lot of 1-on-1 drills with defensive linemen going against offensive linemen. There were a lot of guys there from all over the place and so I only had about 11 reps. However, I never lost a 1-on-1 battle. “I can’t say I made fast friends but there were some guys that you hung around with. I didn’t know anyone before I got there.” McCann also earned all- State (Division VI) recognition last season for the Wild- cats, perhaps putting him on the radar. Last year, a total of 630 prospects attended the com- bines at the four sites, with over 475 eventually signing a college football scholarship. This summer’s pool of prospects will be used to select the squads to play in the two Blue-Grey All-American Bowls set for Dec. 14 of this year at AT & T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys; and Jan. 10, 2015, at Raymond James Stadium. To show how important this combine is, media such as Fox Sports, 24/7 Sports and USA Today will be in atten- dance, with photos and interviews of each prospect as part of the equation. Since McCann did not play basketball during the winter, nor track or baseball in the spring, he has had the chance to get stronger and faster. “I have spent a lot of time lifting and working out with Zach Attack. I haven’t done a lot of sprint work lately — I haven’t run one since the end of football season — but I ran a 4.7 40-yard dash recently and have been below 4.6 previously,” he said. “My max bench is 315 pounds. My weight has fluctuated between the high 190s and the low 200s. “This combine, I figure I will run a 40, do the bench press, the shuttles and the ver- tical jump at least.” Beyond that, his focus is on the start of the preseason in July. “I have to be focused on the combine this week, trying to do the best I can and continuing to work out,” he added. “After next weekend, my focus will turn to getting ready for my senior season and trying to help my team do the best it can.” Jefferson’s McCann preps for Super Combine BY DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer PINEHURST, N.C. (AP) — Martin Kaymer is playing a brand of golf rarely seen in the U.S. Open. It might even be enough for soccer-mad Germany to pay attention. The other 155 players at Pinehurst No. 2 certainly are. Kaymer set the 36-hole scoring record at the U.S. Open on Friday with another 5-under 65 — this one without a single bogey — to build a six-shot lead over Brendon Todd and leave the rest of the field wondering if the 29-year-old Ger- man was playing a different course, or even a different tournament. “If he does it for two more days, then we’re all playing for second spot,” Adam Scott said. Kaymer was at 10-under 130, breaking by one shot the record set by Rory McIlroy at rain-softened Congressional in 2011. He had an eight-shot lead when he finished his morning round. Todd made some tough par saves to keep bo- geys off his card for a 67. “I heard he played the No. 3 course. Is that true?” Kevin Na said after a 69 put him seven shots behind. “It’s unbe- lievable what he’s done. Is 4 or 5 under out there? Yes. Ten under out there? No, I don’t think so. I guess it was out there for him. I watched some of the shots he hit and some of the putts he’s made and he looks flawless.” The six-shot lead after 36 holes tied the U.S. Open record first set by Tiger Woods at Pebble Beach in 2000 and matched by McIlroy at Congressional. Woods wound up winning by 15 shots. McIlroy won by eight. “I played Congressional and I thought, ‘How can you shoot that low?’ And that’s probably what a lot of other people think about me right now,” Kaymer said. At least a few of them allowed for some hope going into the weekend. Todd, who won the Byron Nelson Champion- ship last month for his first PGA Tour win, will play in the final group Saturday in his first U.S. Open. Brandt Snedeker had a 68 and joined Na at 3-under 137. Phil Mickelson was 13 shots behind after going back to his conventional putting grip and giving up too many shots. He had a 73. A fast-moving thunderstorm dumped rain on Pinehurst overnight, though it didn’t make the course that much easier. The pins were in tougher locations. Trouble is waiting around any corner at Pinehurst No. 2. Kaymer rarely found it. He opened with a short birdie on the par-5 10th hole, added birdie putts from 20 and 25 feet, and then hit a gorgeous drive on the par-4 third hole, where the tee was moved up to make it play 315 yards. His shot landed perfectly between two bunkers and bounced onto the green to set up a two-putt birdie. And the lead kept growing. “I look at the scoreboards. It’s enjoyable,” Kaymer said. “To see what’s going on, to watch yourself, how you react if you’re leading by five, by six. … I don’t know, but it’s quite nice to play golf that way.” It looks like a typical U.S. Open — except for Kaymer. Dustin Johnson opened with a pair of 69s, a score he would have gladly taken at the start of the week and perhaps thought it would be good enough to lead. “I wouldn’t have thought it would be eight shots behind,” Johnson said. Brooks Koepka, the American who is carving his way through the European Tour, birdied his last hole for a 68 and joined the group at 2-under 138 with Brendon de Jonge (70), Henrik Stenson (69) and former PGA champion Keegan Bradley, who played in the same group with Kaymer and rallied for a 69. “He’s as dialed it as I’ve seen,” Brad- ley said. Kaymer was the sixth player in U.S. Open history to reach double-digits under par, though McIlroy was the only other player to get there before the weekend. Kaymer already won the PGA Champi- onship in 2010 at Whistling Straits, and he added the next best thing to a major last month at The Players Championship. It’s tough for any golfer to make head- lines in Germany, especially in a World Cup year.

(AP Photo/Chuck Burton) BY JIM METCALFE DHI Media Sports Editor [email protected] VAN WERT — The Western Buckeye League All-Stars had won the previous two Van Wert County Hospital All-Star Football Clash, so the newly-constituted Lima Area/ Northwest Conference All-Stars (formerly NWC/MAC) were looking to break that string Friday night in the 15th annual clash at Eggerss Sta- dium in Van Wert. It got done. The Lima Area/NWC won the ninth game in this series with a 30-7 bashing on a pleasant late-spring evening. The stats were relatively close: the Lima crew totaled 247 yards to 238 for their foes but only 33 on the ground. Wayne Trace’s Colby Speice was an effective 12-of-23 passing for 214 yards and two scores. His top two targets were Jefferson’s Zavier Buzard and Wayne Trace teammate Korbin Showalter with four catches each for 86 and 78 yards, respec- tively. The WBL unit was more evenly split, with 121 yards rushing and 117 passing. However, Defiance’s Will Batt delivered a 10-for-35 passing night for 94 yards and one pick as he struggled either hitting his receivers or them having the dropsies. After holding the the WBL to a 3-and-out on the first series, the guests got on board first via a 9-play, 55-yard drive, with Buzard catching two passes for 56 yards. At the WBL 12, Bluffton’s Noah Stratton took an option pitch to the right sideline and dove over the goal line with 8:05 left in the opening period. Speice found Ada’s Matthew Wilcox for the 2-pointer and an early 8-0 edge. The WBL reached the LA/NWC 34 on its next possession, courtesy of a 33-yard pass from Batt to Van Wert’s Terrence Branson (4 catches, 52 yards), but went no farther. However, its next drive saw an 11-play, 67-yarder. With Batt (15 rushes, 33 yards for the game) and Celina’s Louden Limon (10 for 51) doing most of the work, it was Li- mon who burst over right tackle and found paydirt with 16 seconds left in the first quarter. Wapakoneta’s Bai- ley Hinegardner added the kick for an 8-7 LA/NWC lead. After a trade of punts, the LA/ NWC commenced a quick 2-play, 57-yarder. After Buzard (14 rushes, 25 yards) ran for five, Speice dropped back and found Showal- ter on the left hash in stride at the WBL 30; he eluded the cornerback and headed for the end zone. Speice found Wilcox again for the 2-pointer and a 16-7 lead with 8:45 showing in the first half. After holding the guests to a 3-and-out to open the second half, the WBL started at the 50 and eventually reached the LA/NWC 14. However, a holding penalty and a sack of Batt by Spencerville’s An- thony Schuh and Crestview’s Zen Burdette helped end the 14-play drive at the 31. A turnover on the very next play gave the WBL possession at the guests’ 36. However, that chance ended as Showalter picked off a Batt pass in the end zone. The guests were forced to punt after a 3-and-out but the boot was muffed, with Columbus Grove’s Ma- son Smith recovering at the 42. The LA/NWC gained the WBL 31 but turned it over on downs to begin the fourth period. Its next possession ended via a 7-play, 58-yard sequence. At the WBL 4, Buzard bolted inside right guard to paydirt and Smith added the point-after for a 23-7 edge with 6:56 left. On the second play of the WBL series, the guests swarmed to recover a fumble at the host 48 but could do nothing with it. They did on the next drive, starting at the WBL 32. Two plays later at the 14, Speice threw to another Raid- er teammate, Jared Sherry, in the left corner of the end zone and he made a diving catch with 2:47 left. Smith tacked on the final point.

(DHI Media/John Parent) BY LARRY HEIING DHI Mdia Correspondent [email protected] DELPHOS — Baseball may be considered a slow game by some sports enthusiasts, but the game can also change in a blink of an eye. The Van Wert Cougar ACME team made the trip down Lin- coln Highway to take on the Delphos Jefferson Wildcats on Friday. It was a pitcher’s duel for the first five innings, then Van Wert exploded for 14 unanswered runs in the the last two frames for the 16 to 2 victory. Van Wert’s Gavin Gardner reached on an error to open the game and eventually came around to score the game’s first run when Brant Henry lofted a sacrifice fly to center field. After the Wildcats went down in order in the bottom of the first, pitcher Ryan Bullinger retired the first two batters in the Cougars next at bat. Caleb Jenkins got aboard after his dribbler was booted for an error, but was gunned down attempting to steal on a great throw by catcher Gage Mercer for the final out. Delphos Jefferson tied the score in the third inning after Ja- cob Boop walked and swiped second. Bullinger put runners on the corners with a single to short. Jefferson was aggressive on the base paths with Bullinger’s steal of the second base bag. On the play, Van Wert second baseman Jake Covey threw the ball home to nail Boop trying to score. Adam Rode then hit a solid double to drive in Bullinger to knot the game at one. The great pitching performance by both hurlers continued until the fifth inning. Bullinger walked with one out and moved into scoring position on a bunt by Rode. Gaige Rassman struck out, but the third strike got away from the catcher and Rassman was safe at first. Bullinger came around to score on a throwing error and the Wildcats lead 2-1. The lead didn’t last long for Jefferson. Nick Fitch, a rising senior, made his first appearance on the mound since his fresh- man year in the sixth inning. The Cougars didn’t make his comeback memorable as they scored three runs on four consecutive hits by Covey, Henry, Ryan Stoller, and Caleb Fetzer to take back the lead at 4-2. Branden Herron was called in to pitch with two on and no outs, but Ethan Williams greeted him rudely with a single to score another pair. Gavin Garder hit a triple to right to score two more and the Cougars roared out to a 8-2 lead after batting around in the inning. The Wildcats went down quietly in the bottom of the sixth inning and Herron was replaced on the mound by Jacob Boop . The Cougars offense went right back to work as Henry, Stoller, Fetzer, Williams, and Jenkins, all reached on hits to open the final inning. Jacob Williamson walked, Bailey Neunschwander was hit by a pitch, and Covey walked to chase Boop. The Cou- gars sent 13 batters to the plate and scored 8 more runs in the inning to seal the 16-2 road win.

(DHI Media/Larry Heiing) sp1 B2 Saturday, June 14 & Sunday, June 15, 2014 SPORTS Times Bulletin/Delphos Herald BY BRIAN MAHONEY AP Basketball Writer MIAMI (AP) — The San Antonio Spurs left Miami last June looking so human, Tim Duncan nearly in tears talking about how close they were to another championship. They don’t look human now. They look like a machine. Up 3-1 and shooting the ball at a level never seen in the NBA Finals, the Spurs headed home with a chance to wrap things up on Sun- day night in Game 5. The Miami Heat, who were able to deny the Spurs last year, have two days to figure out what can possibly be done to do it again. “They’re a high-oil machine and they move the ball extremely well,” LeBron James said. “They put you in so many difficult positions. If you’re not right on time, right on target, they’re going to make you pay for it.” The Spurs won by 19 and 21 in the two games in Miami and are shooting 54.2 percent in the series. The NBA Finals record for a series of any length is 52.7 percent. No team has overcome a 3-1 deficit in the finals, and the Heat were so thoroughly man- handled in Miami that the only reason to think they could be the first is what they did in the past. Duncan said the memory of last season’s loss — the pain that’s driven the Spurs through this entire season — would “definitely come up” before Sunday. “As I said, we know the caliber team they are, and we have a lot of respect for what they’re able to do,” Duncan said. “They’re able to throw it another gear and they’re going to do just that. They don’t want this to be done.” Duncan probably meant “done” as in the series. Of course, it could also mean the era. Two off days were sure to be filled by talk of the Heat’s uncertain future, with James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh all eligible for free agency. Might such a one-sided beating convince James he had to leave to find a better roster elsewhere? Make him more resolute in his desire to stay and get the Heat back on top? The two-time champions have more urgent concerns now. “Did we expect to come here and lose two the way we did at home? No way,” Wade said. “But we also expect to go to San Antonio and put up a better effort and try to come out with another win. So we’ll get away from it (Fri- day), but we’ll still think about what we need to do to try to get another win to keep the series alive.” James simply acknowledged the obvious, that the Spurs were the better team, when they swept his Cleveland Cavaliers in 2007 for the last of their four NBA championships. But he wasn’t supposed to be on the wrong side of the talent differential once he bolted for Miami, where the Heat would build a Big Three for this decade that would rival what San Anto- nio’s did last decade. But the Spurs go so far beyond Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili now. There’s Kawhi Leonard, who followed his career-high, 29-point night in Game 3 with 20 points and 14 rebounds Thursday and has done no worse than battled James to a draw over the last two games. Or Boris Diaw, who wasn’t even in the starting lineup until Game 3 and had eight points, nine rebounds and nine assists in Game 4, serving as one of the catalysts for the Spurs’ mesmerizing ball movement. Individual players get hot all the time. The Spurs are on a team-wide hot streak. “I just think we’re playing Spurs basketball,” Parker said. “We’re just moving the ball and we’re just playing the way we’ve been playing all season. We’d like to do a ‘good to great,’ the extra pass, and we preach that, and right now we’re clicking.” It gets a little harder to keep that going when trying for that fourth win, the one the Spurs couldn’t quite get last year, when even the real freewheeling teams tend to tighten up a bit. “I mean, every closeout game is very difficult, for all the obvious reasons,” Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. Especially if James delivers as so often when the Heat faced elimination, from his 45-point game in Boston in the 2012 Eastern Conference finals, to a triple-double against the Spurs in Game 6 last year, followed by 37 points in Game 7. He may need to deliver something similar, or a championship reign could be over sooner than expected. With Spurs up 3-1, Heat try to stop a machine BY RAF CASERT AP Sports Writer SAO PAULO (AP) — When no one expected it, the Dutch turned on the style with a barrage of spectacular World Cup goals and a 5-1 victory on Friday that totally humiliated defending champion Spain. Rain and clouds may have shrouded Salvador, but the orange shirts of the Dutch fans brightened up the Arena Fonte Nova as they celebrated one of the Netherlands’ most famous World Cup victories in a re- match of the 2010 final. Even more so than Brazil’s opening win on Thursday, or Mexico’s rain-soaked 1-0 win over Cameroon earlier Friday, the Dutch put the World Cup on a festive footing. Fellow veterans Robin van Persie and Arjen Robben produced two superb each and showed the host nation why the Dutch have often been called the Brazilians of Eu- rope. “It was inexplicable,” said Van Persie, the leader of a team which has come to Bra- zil carrying few expectations from a nation that has all too often been spoilt for sparkling football. The veterans were thought too old, the rookies too inexperienced. Players openly said that just avoiding defeat against Spain would be enough, never mind beautiful play. However, the game yet again lived up to its reputation for unpredict- ability. “This is why you play football,” the Netherlands’ beam- ing coach Louis van Gaal said after his disputed move to a 5-3-2 lineup proved a master- stroke. Spain was always going to try to dominate possession, as in the 2010 World Cup final, but this time the Dutch knew how to hit back. The defending champion started Diego Costa but the striker was as ineffectual as the rest of the aging team, highlighted by a massive blun- der by Iker Casillas that led to Van Persie’s second goal, a symbol of Spain’s fate on an infamous Friday 13th. It was not the only surprise on the second day of the World Cup. When people around the world expected a sun-soaked tournament, torrential rain dominated Natal and Mexi- co’s victory over Cameroon, courtesy of a goal from Oribe Peralta that moved the Central Americans level with Brazil in Group A. Chile played Australia in a late Group B game, seeking to draw level with the Dutch. Casillas was not the only football star to suffer ignomi- ny on Friday. Franz Beckenbauer, who won the World Cup both as a player and coach, was banned from football for 90 days by FIFA for not cooperating with a fraud investigation into the 2018 and 2022 World Cup bids. Beckenbauer was the first person to be punished as a result of the investigations. On the pitch, the day was almost as black for the ashen-faced Vicente Del Bosque, who only four years ago coached Spain to its first World Cup win before following it up with the 2012 Euro- pean championship title. Dutch dazzle World Cup with win over Spain BY JIM METCALFE DHI Media Sports Editor [email protected] DELPHOS — Football. Basketball. Base- ball. For many boys and young men, they have dreams of attaining success in those sports, especially in small-town America. Not so for Delphos resident Brandon Ost- ing, his dreams are of the water variety — fishing. A fishing fan since he was young, Osting has figured out his career choice: become a professional fisherman. “I have been fishing since I was little as my grandfather and father have fished and won many numerous local tournaments in that time. I have been a part of the Delphos Bass Club for years and over the last two years, I have decided to pursue my dream of fishing in the Bassmaster Classic, which is the biggest tournament in the world,” he began. The first step in that process, according to Osting, is entering the B.A.S.S. Nation events. “I decided to do that recently. These events serve as a qualifying series to the Bassmaster Classic and Elite series; the new format is if you win one of the three qualifying tournaments, you represent the state in which you are from,” he continued. “I was fortunate to actually win back-to-back tournaments — if you win one, you automatically qualify for the 2015 state team and fish in the BASS Na- tion Divisional next year — over the last two months and have qualified to represent Ohio next year in trying to qualify for the Classic. I basically have to beat 21 anglers over two tournaments next year and I will qualify to fish in the biggest fishing tournament in the world. “Basically, all 50 states have three qualifying events and from them, they create a state team (12 people, plus two high schoolers and two alternates). There are six regions. “They qualify 56 anglers every year through three paths: the Elite Series, the opens and the BASS Nation.” He has one more of those BASS Nation events this year, on the Ohio River June 22. He almost didn’t win the first one due to a heavy heart. “The first event of the year was the BASS Nation Northern Qualifier on Indian Lake, and the day before the tournament is when my cousin Jared Osting was killed in a motorcycle accident. I wasn’t going to fish but decided to,” he explained. “I taped a picture of him to the windshield of my boat and went fishing. I lost several key fish during the day that I thought would have kept me from winning but, in the end, I was able to pull off the win by over a pound and take 2nd Big Bass honors. That was the biggest win of my career.” He has his eyes set on 2015. “I will be competing in the 2015 BASS Na- tion Northern Divisional (where competitors fish for a total prize money of $500,000). This event will be drastically different than any other I have fished,” he continued. “In this event, I will be running my boat 52 miles up river one way to fish. Any mechanical issues or any other issues could make or break the tournament, as well as missing the lock times to allow me to lock up river.” Osting — who has an 18-month-old daughter with his wife and is an engineer for Crown Equipment Corporation in his “real” work — credits his start in Delphos to why he has been so successful. “A lot of people follow fishing in the Del- phos area since we have the very competitive Delphos Bass Club; there is huge support of it in our area,” he said. “I think a lot of my success recently has come from fishing in the club. I took my first win at 14 years old with the club up in Indiana out of the back of my dad’s boat. There is a lot of talent to fish against in the Delphos area and it is showing as a few of us have ventured out into the bigger tournaments over the last few years and have shown success. “I started in the club and had to qualify through the club. Local clubs and the State Chapters determined the qualifying format. Rising through the ranks takes dedication and perseverance, but the rewards for advancing to the next level are great.” Osting has come a long way towards achiev- ing his dream in a short time. “Last year, most would have laughed when I said I would fish in the Bassmaster Classic some day,” he added. “Now there are 17 people separating me from fulfilling a lifelong dream and a $500,000 payday that thousands and thousands of people dream of.” Osting takes to the waters to chase dream Making it back-to-back Ohio Bass Nation wins, Delphos resident Brandon Osting caught five fish that weighed 9.20 pounds to claim the Rocky Fork Lake title.

Ever since I was born, I have shared a room with my 17-year-old sister. Maybe it was OK when we were younger, but now it is impossible. It’s crowded and annoying. I have no privacy, and I can’t decorate it how I want. What makes this worse is that we have an extra room. My parents refuse to consider it and won’t give me a reason. It has gotten so bad I have moved into a closet. Ev- ery time I walk into my room I get a headache. I never hang out there anymore. Please help. — IN THE CLOSET IN N.Y. DEAR IN THE CLOSET: Your parents may be hoping you can come to a truce with your sister without having to sacrifice their guest room. If you feel your bedroom is crowded, it must be the same for her. If a truce isn’t possible, then you will have to continue hanging out in other parts of the house. Although it may be incon- venient for you, your sister can’t help that she exists, and the sooner you accept it, the sooner your headache will lessen. As to redecorating the bedroom to suit your taste, be patient awhile longer. At 17, your sister should be nearly out of high school. In another year she’ll be 18, and the room will be all yours if she plans on going to college or finding a job, roommates and independence. P.S. At that point, don’t be surprised if you miss her. ** ** ** DEAR ABBY: A friend I have known for about 10 years messaged me again tonight saying she was going to commit suicide. I tried to get her to go to a hospital, but she refused. When I told her I was going to contact the police, she backed down a bit. This has become an almost- nightly occurrence. She’s going through a rough patch right now. She’s breaking things off with her drug-addicted longtime part- ner. She is also underem- ployed, in danger of being evicted and has cancer. It is tough on me to talk her down from the ledge every night. Many of her problems are of her own making, but she can’t seem to see that. She can’t afford therapy. I have taken her to Al-Anon, but she quit after a short time. I don’t know what to do. I hate to break it off with her because I’m afraid she will kill herself. I am the only friend she has left. How much longer do I hold on? — SUCKED DRY IN KANSAS DEAR SUCKED DRY: Because your friend is calling nightly threatening to harm herself, it appears she is using you to vent. That’s all right if it’s consensual and you have the emotional strength to handle it. If you don’t, and because you describe yourself as emotion- ally depleted (“sucked dry”), I’m advising you to start screening your calls. I’m not advising you to shut her out completely, but to allow yourself not to answer your phone unless you are feeling up for it. And if she threatens suicide again, follow through on contacting the police. ** ** ** Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

I hate harsh chemical products, so I wondered if you have hints to help minimize these pests. — Mandy M. in California Unfortunately, our pets do sometimes bring these little pests into our homes. Here are a few hints from the Environmental Protection Agency on helping to keep fleas to a minimum in your home: * Keep your pets inside the majority of the time, and have them go outside only to do their business. * Wash pet bedding in hot water at least every two weeks. Make sure it’s clean. * Comb your dogs regu- larly with a flea comb to check for and remove any adult fleas. Concentrate on the dogs’ necks and tails, where most fleas are found. * Vacuum your home reg- ularly (every day, if needed), particularly where your dogs like to sleep. This will help capture eggs, larvae and adult fleas to prevent a full infestation. — Heloise PET PAL Dear Readers: M.M. sent in a picture, via email, of her 10-year-old Pomeranian, Georgie, sitting on a rug. Georgie is very friendly and loves playing hide-and-seek. To see Georgie’s picture, go to my website, www.Heloise. com, and click on “Pets.” — Heloise RUST REMOVER Dear Heloise: I had a rust stain on a white blouse. A neighbor suggested using a combination of lemon juice and salt on it, then placing the garment outside in the light, and the stain would disappear. It worked! — Carolyn M., Theodore, Ala. Carolyn, I’m so glad this classic hint worked for you! It usually is suggested for dried ink stains, but I’m sure it could work wonders on others. Just be careful when using this method. Test in a hidden area, and watch care- fully so you don’t damage the fabric! I love helping people get out tough stains! Have one that you need help with? Just order my pamphlet to get all of my stain-removing hints. To receive, send $5 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (70 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Stain Guide, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. Black clothing looking a little dull? Rinse in a solution of clear water and vinegar. It will remove soap residue that may be causing the dullness. — Heloise SEWING SAVING Dear Heloise: I am an avid sewer. I am always on the lookout for good sourc- es of material to use in my projects. When stores have clearance sales, I look at the quilts, tablecloths, shower curtains, etc., to see if any of the fabric matches things I want to sew. I recently bought a denim shower cur- tain for $8. I have already made three projects using the denim! — Peggy J., Fay- etteville, Ark. MUSHROOM MAGIC Dear Heloise: Mushrooms are sold in small, plastic con- tainers that work great for other things. I use them on the bathroom counter, night- stand, dresser and in drawers to keep small items, such as makeup, toiletries and jewelry, organized. — Betsy in Colorado (c)2014 by King Features Syndicate Inc.

CARUSO Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) — Data released by Veterans Affairs officials earlier this week appeared to confirm that new patients at the agency’s medical centers were routinely waiting 30, 50 or even more than 90 days to see a doctor. It turns out those statis- tics came with some big caveats. Average wait times at many of the facilities are likely much shorter, Philip Matkovsky, an assistant deputy undersecretary at the Department of Veterans Affairs, told The Associated Press on Friday. He said information about patients who received care very quickly was left out of the analysis for technical reasons. “They are valid numbers,” he said of audit results issued Monday, but acknowledged that the exclusion of those receiving swift care and other factors led to longer average reported wait times for some facilities than actually experienced by veterans. One reason for the disparity is that the audit essentially rep- resented a look into future doctor visits, while another VA data system assessed wait times by looking at the past, Matkovsky said. The bottom line, though, he added, remains unchanged: Many veterans are still waiting too long for care. “Nobody should wait 90 days for an appointment from when they want to be seen,” he said. Since Monday’s release of average wait time data by VA headquarters officials in Washington, administrators at local VA medical centers have been questioning the announced audit results, saying they didn’t jibe with internal data showing far shorter waits. The complaints have come not only from places that fared the worst in the audit, but also from hospitals that ranked in the middle or did relatively well. “Our numbers are significantly better than what was released,” said Dr. Jeffrey Ryan, the associate chief of staff at the Jesse Brown VA Medical Center in Chicago. The audit had pegged average wait times there for new primary care patients at 41 days. Ryan said the real wait was a fraction of that, typically just a day or two. At the Durham VA Medical Center in North Carolina, officials said they were baffled after the audit singled them out as having a whopping 104-day average wait for new patients seeking mental health services. They said the VA’s national scheduling database pegged the overall average wait time this year for the same category of patients at 25 days. Beth Brown, director of the Louis A. Johnson VA Medi- cal Center in Clarksburg, West Virginia, said her most recent batch of data for April showed new patients waiting an average of eight days for primary care, 21 days to see a specialist and 11 days for mental health services. The audit had entirely different numbers: 54 days for primary care, 86 days for a specialist and 96 days for mental health services. For the audit, investigators essentially took a snapshot of all appointments in the VA’s medical scheduling system as it ex- isted on May 15. At that time, there were about six million visits that had been scheduled but hadn’t yet taken place. The average wait times in the audit report were based on the time elapsed between when those appointments were requested and when they were scheduled to occur. ❖STORY OF THE DAY❖ VA: Wait times in audit had caveats BAGHDAD (AP) — Iraq’s Shiite clerical leadership Fri- day called on all Iraqis to defend their country from Sunni militants who have seized large swaths of territory, and a U.N. official expressed “extreme alarm” at reprisal killings in the offensive, citing reports of hun- dreds of dead and wounded. U.S. President Barack Obama said he is weighing options for countering the insur- gency, but warned Iraqi leaders that he would not take military action unless they moved to address the country’s political divisions. Fighters from the al-Qaida- inspired Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant made fresh gains, driving government forces at least temporarily from two towns in an ethnically mixed province northeast of Baghdad. The assault threatens to embroil Iraq more deeply in a wider regional conflict feeding off the chaos caused by the civil war in neighboring Syria. The fast-moving rebellion, which also draws support from former Saddam Hussein-era figures and other disaffected Sunnis, has emerged as the biggest threat to Iraq’s stability since the U.S. withdrawal in 2011. It has pushed the nation closer to a precipice that could partition it into Sunni, Shiite and Kurdish zones. Shiite cleric urges Iraqis to defend country WASHINGTON (AP) — To the frustration of many of his supporters, President Barack Obama is backing away from immigration changes he could make on his own. He is kick- ing the issue to House Republicans instead, despite mounting evidence they won’t address the millions of im- migrants living illegally in the United States. This week, lawmakers from both parties summarily declared immigration-overhaul efforts dead after House Majority Leader Eric Cantor suffered an unexpected defeat at the hands of a fellow Republican who criticized him as too soft on the issue. But Obama still voices hope Congress will act. “Our strategy has not changed,” says White House communications director Jennifer Palmieri. “The impetus for action remains on the House.” It’s an approach that’s drawing friendly fire from immigration advocates who say Obama has been sitting on his hands long enough. For starters, they want immediate action to slow deportations. But the White House wants to ensure that if and when an overhaul ulti- mately dies in Congress, Republicans can’t claim it was Obama who pulled the plug. Instead, Obama hopes his strategy will allow Democrats down the road to put all the blame on Re- publicans for failing to deal with im- migrants in the U.S. illegally. It’s not as if Obama could legalize an estimated 11.5 million people with a wave of his hand. Last month in the Oval Office, Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson presented him with a basket of options he’d developed after the president personally ordered a review of how he could make deportation policy more humane, said a senior White House official. The official spoke only on condition of anonymity to describe a private meeting. Johnson’s options were narrow and would affect only small groups of im- migrants facing deportation, the official said — a far cry from the across- the-board freeze many immigration advocates are demanding.

(AP Photo/Susan Walsh, File) WASHINGTON (AP) — The Internal Revenue Service said Friday it has lost a trove of emails to and from a central figure in the agency’s tea party controversy, sparking outrage from congressional investigators who have been probing the agency for more than a year. The IRS told Congress Friday it cannot locate many of Lois Lerner’s emails prior to 2011 because her computer crashed during the summer of that year. Lerner headed the IRS division that processed applications for tax-exempt status. The IRS acknowledged last year that agents had improp- erly scrutinized applications for tax-exempt status by tea party and other conservative groups. “The fact that I am just learning about this, over a year into the investigation, is completely unacceptable and now calls into question the credibility of the IRS’ response to congressional inquiries,” said Rep. Dave Camp, R-Mich., chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee. “There needs to be an immediate investigation and forensic audit by Depart- ment of Justice as well as the inspector general.” The Ways and Means Committee is one of three congressional committees investigating the IRS over its handling of tea party applications from 2010 to 2012. The Justice Department and the IRS inspector general are also investigating. Congressional investigators have shown that IRS officials in Washington were closely involved in the handling of tea party applications, many of which languished for more than a year without action. But so far, they have not publicly produced evidence that anyone outside the agency directed the targeting or even knew about it. If anyone outside the agency was involved, investigators were hoping for clues in Le- rner’s emails. The IRS said technicians went to great lengths trying to recover data from Lerner’s computer in 2011. In emails provided by the IRS, technicians said they sent the computer to a forensic lab run by the agency’s criminal investigations unit. But to no avail. IRS lost emails by official in tea party probe SAN ANTONIO (AP) — In the moments after Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl arrived back in the United States following five years of captivity by the Taliban in Afghanistan, he was nervous but “looked good” and saluted a com- manding officer who wel- comed him home, military officials said Friday. Bergdahl is working daily with health professionals to regain a sense of normalcy and move forward with his life, officials added. Bergdahl’s family has not joined him since he arrived at Brooke Army Medical Center at Fort Sam Houston in Texas after midnight Friday, and Army officials would not say when relatives might show up. In a statement read at a news conference Friday, Berg- dahl’s parents said they “are overjoyed that their son has returned to the United States” but asked for privacy. Maj. Gen. Joseph P. DiSalvo, who greeted Berg- dahl upon his arrival from an Army medical facility in Ger- many, said he exchanged a few words with Bergdahl after a three-vehicle convoy met him. “He appeared just like any sergeant would when they see a two-star general, a little bit nervous. But he looked good and saluted and had good de- portment,” DiSalvo said at the news conference, adding that Bergdahl was in stable condition. Officials said there is no timeline for the final step in Bergdahl’s reintegration process. “We will proceed at his pace,” said Col. Bradley Pop- pen, an Army psychologist. As far as Bergdahl’s inter- action with relatives, Poppen said a soldier typically deter- mines when to reunite with his or her family. Poppen declined to release further details, citing the family’s request for privacy. After the news conference, officials said they did not know if Bergdahl has spoken with his family. Military officials declined to give details on what Berg- dahl might remember about his capture or what he knows about the public uproar surrounding his capture and release. In the short time he has been back on U.S. soil, Berg- dahl, who can walk on his own, has been on a bland diet and has shown a fondness for peanut butter, officials said. While at Brooke Army Medical Center, Bergdahl will have a “standard patient room” but will not have access to a television, said Col. Ron- ald Wool, who is in charge of Bergdahl’s medical care.
