Council OKs healthcare facility tax exemptionBY NANCY SPENCER

DHI Media [email protected]

DELPHOS — The city now has a Community Reinvestment Area agree-ment with Ramsey Development, LLC, and Trilogy Health Services, LLC, for a healthcare facility near U.S. 30 on Ambrose Drive.

The agreement is for a 100-percent tax exemption for 15 years on the $8.5 million structure. Another $500,000 in equipment and $1.7 million in furniture and fixtures is not included in the exemption.

The approximately 55,000-square-foot facility will bring about 100 jobs to Delphos. Safety Service Director Shane Coleman said the facility will employ 65 full-time and 35 part-time employees with a payroll of approximately $2.6 million.

Council suspended the rules and passed the ordinance on second reading to expedite the process.

Delphos City Schools Board of Education approved the tax exemption at a special meeting on Thursday.

Taxpayers will decide on a five-year, 4.5-mill renewal levy for current operating expenses on the November

Presidential Election Ballot. The levy, first approved in 1976, provides an approximate $168,000 per year to the city’s General Fund.

Approving the levy will not increase a resident’s taxes as the rates approved in 1976 continue through the life of the levy. Once council approves the ordinance, it will be go to the Allen County Auditor to be certified for the official amount.

Coleman updated council on projects in the works in the city. The north water tower is being drained this week so the inside can be sandblasted and painted in line with rou-tine maintenance. Resident may see some

discolorations in their water.“If a resident does see their water is a

funny color, if running the tap for a while doesn’t take care of the problem, they need to call the city and/or water department,” Coleman said.

The water department is also replacing the carbon in the facility.

“The old filters at the pool have also been removed and we expect the new filters to be delivered within the next two weeks and we’ll get those installed and be ready to start the new pool season,” Coleman said.

Farmland still popular, solid investment

BY KAY LOUTHDHI Media Staff Writer

[email protected]

DELPHOS — In 2013, farmland sold for record sums and the prices remained high for a long time, according to Ron Spencer of Ron Spencer Realty. Now, however, Spencer said current prices are almost two-thirds less than the price was in 2013.

“Not so good,” Spencer said. “We may see this for a couple of years.”

Spencer does think farmland prices have held up well even though the land isn’t going for as much as previously. Prices do fluctuate, of course. For example, a recent sale in Defiance had 411. 5 acres going for $1.9 million or $4,617 an acre. But the inverse is also true. Spencer recently sold a farm in Madison County for $15,000 an acre and not so long ago, a Mercer County farm went for $17,000 an acre.

Farmland is still a popular and solid investment and Spencer gave two reasons why. First, many investors see bank’s interest rates as a disincentive and investments in the stock market are always at risk of a market drop.

“Land is land,” he said. “It seems like all of it is holding its value quite well. There are people who are concerned about the current interest rates banks are paying and it looks like farmland is a better investment.”

The second reason Spencer noted is (farm) land is always going to be there and owners do get a return off of it every year.

Jessica Merschman, a realtor with Schrader Realty, says prices also depend on what people are buying cropland for — production or protection. The average price locally is $9,500 an acre but she has sold some for $11,800 an acre.

Merschman added a few more reasons why farmland prices are doing well. Some people are buying farmland to keep hog farmers from building on the land. It seems no one wants a hog farm as a neighbor; the strong smell is off putting. She added that there is less and less farmland available for sale as well.

Canal Commission volunteers honored

BY KAY LOUTHDHI Media Staff Writer

[email protected]

DELPHOS — When the call for help with projects and tasks at the Canal Museum goes out to the pub-lic, those calls do not go unanswered. The Canal Commission can count on 30 people, excluding the trustees, to help finish projects and maintain the museum.

On Sunday, the Canal Commission hosted a thank-you meal at the muse-um for their volunteers. President Lou Hohman explained the volunteers did everything from helping at the Christmas Tree Festival, giving tours and helping with multiple tasks around the museum. Some he said were donors.

“The volunteer hours are unreal up

here,” Hohman said.Even on the day that volunteers

were honored, some were checking on the progress of the newest project at the museum.

A working model train display is being added to the basement. Right now, volunteers continue working on the 2x2 base for the display. It’s an ambitious project and they plan to have it up and running by July of this year. Dave Desenberg, designer and eventu-ally manager, detailed what the model train project would look like when completed.

It would have two tracks, one for a passenger train running on the outside track and a commercial train running on the inside track.

Canal Commission volunteers enjoy their meal from the commission Sunday afternoon. (DHI Media/Kay Louth)

These students represent both schools very well and with pride. This FFA chapter has produced 100 State FFA Degrees, 75 American Degrees and was ranked in the top 10 in the state and No. 1 two years in a row in 12 of the last 15 years. They are doing something right.”

Matt spoke to the150 guests about a life of “purpose” and encouraged everyone in the room to answer the ques-tions, “Who are you?” “What do you do with your life?” and “Why do you do it?” He also reminded everyone that “life is a journey and you’re the driver”. Good advice for all.

Awards were presented to

FFA members throughout the evening. Senior Jacob Sukup (Antwerp) and junior Zach Dealey (Crestview) were pre-sented with “Quiet Leader” awards for setting an exam-ple to others by their actions. Jacob Sukup and junior Daniel Sinn (Wayne Trace) were awarded the “110%” award for service above and beyond. The Tractor Troubleshooting team of Jacob Sukup and Zach Sinn recognized for their first-place regional finish and their 11th-place finish at the state contest.

Receiving the Scholarship award for outstanding grades were senior Jacob Sukup and junior Daniel Sinn. Senior Jacob Sukup was recognized as this year’s Most Valuable FFA member. Most improved awards went to seniors Charles Thomas (Paulding) and Levi Noggle (Wayne Trace).

The chapter honored Staci Miller from the Paulding Soil and Water Conservation District and Mike Porter, retired farmer, with FFA Honorary Degrees for their involvement with the Vantage FFA Chapter.

The new officer induc-tion ceremony was held and outgoing officers were thanked for their contribution to the Vantage FFA chapter. Officers for the 2016-2017

school year are President Blake Miller (Wayne Trace), Vice President Daniel Sinn (Wayne Trace), Secretary Zach Dealey (Crestview), Treasurer Peter Wharry (Paulding), Sentinel Andrew Grote (Ottoville), Student Advisor Wyatt Miller

Jays’ Vogt shuts down BearcatsBY JIM METCALFE

DHI Media Sports [email protected]

SPENCERVILLE — St. John’s lefty Jacob Youngpeter struck out 14 in a 1-0 gem at Shawnee Monday night.

Tuesday afternoon at Stadium Park, the Blue Jays got another solid perfor-mance out of right-hander Eric Vogt.

He tossed a 4-hitter, strik-ing out 10 and walking two, in an 11-1 5-inning victory over invading Spencerville.

Spencerville had the

first big threat as Mitchell Youngpeter got aboard on a 1-out error on a called third strike but was caught stealing by Buddy Jackson. Keaton Lotz and Hunter French got back-to-back free passes and a wild pitch pushed them both up; however, they were left there.

The Jays (3-0) sent nine batters to the plate against Bearcat starter David Wisher, scoring six, in the bottom of the second inning. Vogt was hit by a pitch, stole second and scored on Jesse Ditto’s single to center. After

a Ditto swipe of second, Josh Warnecke walked and Aaron Reindel was hit by a pitch to load the sacks. Lefty ninth-batter Chad Etgen sin-gled to right to get Ditto and Warnecke in for a 3-0 lead, with Reindel at third.

Troy Schwinnen bounced out to score Reindel and a wild pitch put Etgen at third. Seth Linder walked and bur-gled second. An error on Youngpeter’s grounder plated Etgen; Linder kept running and slid into home for a 6-0 lead.

Spencerville got its only

tally in the top of the third. Thad Ringwald doubled to right center and Wisher sin-gled him to third. After a stolen base and strikeout, Lotz slapped a hit to right to plate Ringwald for a 6-1 deficit. A double play kept the frame from being better for the Bearcats.

The hosts made it 7-1 in the home fourth on a 2-out error on Schwinnen’s ground-er, his steal and a ground sin-gle into left by Linder.

The Jays put it away with four in the home fifth.

An NCAA title game for the ages - as it should be

That was one heck of a National Championship game Monday night.

A North Carolina fan is most likely dis-appointed beyond all belief at the way they lost it.

The what-if game is already being played out: if only we’d have made this play, or not done that play or made that mistake or missed THOSE free throws — or let that guy be that wide open for the game-winner.

Villanova fans — and I’m sure there are more than a few of them — are incredibly happy at not only winning the game but beating one of college basketball’s premier blue-blood programs, especially that way.

Wildcat partisans can also say what if we’d have made that play earlier or made that change, etc., etc. (read above).

The title game — in really any sport where it comes down to a 1-game-settles-all format — should go down to the wire: there is nothing more boring than an ultimate game being a snooze-fest and a blowout.

Jay Wright has shown what a great coach he is, leading Nova to its first title since the magical 1985 season under Rollie Massimino.

It’s almost kind of nice to see a relative upstart — let’s face it, how many of us had the likes of Kansas, UNC, Michigan State and Kentucky (all with the lottery pick and 1-and-done talents) in their Final Four?

Not many had Oklahoma, Syracuse and Villanova in there.The thing is for both teams, they have a lot of underclass-

men that could return but, unfortunately, a few will declare for the NBA Draft.

Now, how many are going to watch the women’s final involving 3-time defending champion Connecticut and Syracuse?

Or should I say the Huskies’ re-coronation?What Geno and his women have done over the last four

years — and the previous decade-plus in Storrs — is utterly mind-boggling.

I cannot explain how a team and even individuals never seem to have a bad game in how many seasons.

==========Earlham stymies BUBLUFFTON — For the

second straight Tuesday, Earlham College used a scintillating pitching perfor-mance from freshman Walter Talcott to stymie the Bluffton University baseball team 6-1 at Memorial Field.

Earlham improved to 16-5 and 6-3 in the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference.

Bluffton fell to 6-15 and 1-7 in the HCAC.

Talcott went the distance in a 6-0 shutout a week ago.

With two outs in the top of the second, Earlham took advantage of a Bluffton error and a blooper to short right to go up 2-0. A Brennan Laird leadoff homer and an RBI single by Brandon Smalling pushed the score to 4-0 in the middle of the third.

Jason Col l iver (Beavercreek) singled home Jeff Arnett (Tecumseh, Mich./Tecumseh) in the bottom of the third to make it 4-1 but the Quakers added a tally in

the sixth and another in the ninth — a hit batter with the bases juiced for a 6-1 final.

Travis Clark (Lima/Central Catholic) dropped his first decision of the year after allowing four runs, two earned, on five hits in 3.2 innings. Taylor Gambrell (Bowling Green) and Brantley Curnutte (Hilliard/Davidson) combined for 4.1 innings of 1-run ball. Gambrell fanned two and Curnutte set down three. James Watkins (Lexington) gave up one run on one hit in the ninth inning.

Blake Fox (Berne. Ind./South Adams) went 2-of-3 with a pair of singles.

Talcott scattered five hits. He needed just 98 pitches, tossing 69 strikes while fan-ning six. He did not issue a free pass.

Defense dooms ’Cats vs. Bulldogs

BY JIM METCALFEDHI Media Sports Editor

[email protected]

ELIDA — There were two good things about Jefferson’s non-league baseball game versus Elida at Ed Sandy Memorial Field at the Elida Sports Complex.

The weather was dry and there was no wind.

On the other hand, it was a downright cold early-spring afternoon.

Poor defense by the visit-ing Wildcats in this last-min-ute pickup game — seven errors — was their undoing in a 14-8 loss.

After Jefferson (1-4) was the beneficiary of four unearned run in the top of the second to take a 4-0 lead, the Bulldogs (4-1) countered with 11 in the home half — three of them earned — against lefty Jacob Pulford and reliever Andrew Foust. Elida sent 14 batters to the dish, getting five hits and three walks, along with the five miscues committed by the Wildcats. Logan Alexander had the big hit, a 2-run single that plated Scott McDonnell and Owen Anderson, and McDonnell (Cade Parker), Anderson (TJ Whipple) and Austin Morrison (Riley Bartels) also knocked in runs with singles. The rest were scored via the errors or fielder’s choices to make it 11-4, Elida.

Jefferson got three back in the top of the fourth with two outs against starter Dylan Holcomb. With Andrew Foust on, Jace Stockwell singled, Damian Dudgeon legged out an infield hit and Gage Mercer scored the first two on a double to deep left. After Pulford walked, Dudgeon scored from third on a wild pitch and the other runners advanced but were left stranded.

Elida made it 12-6 in the bottom of the fourth on a run-scoring knock to center that plated Bartels.

The visitors left runners on second (Dudgeon) and third (Stockwell) in the top of the sixth.

The Bulldogs added their final runs in the home sixth on a 2-run triple to center, scoring pinch-hitter Cody Gay and Morrison.

The Wildcats didn’t go down quietly in the visit-ing seventh. Elida reliever Alexander hit Easton Siefker to lead it off; Darius Shurelds and Brett Mahlie walked around a wild pitch and strikeout to load the bases. Foust beat out a run-scoring infield hit to short to plate Siefker for that 14-8 lead. However, the Wildcats left the bases loaded to end the game.

The Red and White got on the board first in the top of the second. With one out,

Jordan Boop singled and Tyler Schrider singled to left. An out later, a dropped throw allowed Foust to get on board, plate Boop and prolong the inning. Stockwell’s knock to left plated Shrider from third. After a double steal by Foust and Stockwell, Dudgeon knocked both in with a slap to center for a 4-0 edge.

“Outside of that one inning, we had a lot of pos-itives. We had a lot of good at-bats that produced for us, as opposed otherwise when we didn’t have any success,” Jefferson head coach Doug Geary said. “We just had the bad second where we had early walks, committed some errors and couldn’t limit the damage. We haven’t played since Tuesday, so I called Coach (Todd) Grapner to see if we could get a game in and get some innings to try and get back on track.”

“We took advantage of what we were given as far as Jefferson’s errors, as well as some walks and some nice hits,” Grapner added. “We’re looking to get some innings in as well, especially some of the younger guys that need it, so this was a nice chance we took when Doug called me last night. We got some innings for two of our guys, Dylan and Logan, that we haven’t had the chance to get on the mound this spring. They did pretty well.”

Ditto blooped a hit into short left center, Warnecke bunted him up a base and Reindel’s single put run-ners on the corners. Reindel stole second but Ditto got picked off third by M. Youngpeter. Reindel stole third and pinch-hitter Owen Baldauf walked. An error on Schwinnen’s grounder plated Reindel for an 8-1 edge.

Linder doubled to the fence in center to get Baldauf and Schwinnen home. Lotz came on in relief but when J. Youngpeter’s grounder was misplayed, Linder hustled in to score and end the game.

“This was Eric’s first out-ing this spring except for a scrimmage. I wasn’t sure

about his control coming out and he was a bit wild to begin with with two walks,” St. John’s head coach Jerry Jackson explained. “After the first inning, he settled down and pitched very well. He gives us a nice 1-2 punch with Jacob and I think Josh is a solid third. We put the ball in play and had better success at the plate. There’s a long way to go yet but I’m happy we’re 3-0.”

St. John’s hosts LCC tonight.

“David gave us what we needed on the mound. We don’t have the hard throwers but he threw strikes and made them pout it in play,” first-year Spencerville head coach Shane Falke said. “We must make plays; we’ve struggled

with that so far this season. We struggled at the plate against a very good pitcher; we watched a lot of strikes go by, especially early. We’re not where we need to be overall but we’ll get there as we get innings and games under our belt.”

It’s almost inhuman how machine-like that program is; beating opponents by 40-plus points per game over the last two seasons; making mince-meat of even highly-ranked foes with their own talented groups; seemingly never having a major injury or illness; and so forth.

And you think of how far a former powerhouse like Tennessee — a team

that has had more than its share of major and crippling injuries over the years — has fallen, especially since the retire-ment of Pat Summitt.

What was once the best archrivalry in women’s college basketball has gone the way of the do-do.

However, other coaches can (maybe?) take heart in what Geno is quoted to have said many times — enjoy the ride because it can’t last forever!

You would think that at some point, the odds would make that true, they would have a string of injuries and/or highly-touted players wouldn’t live up to their billing, etc.

It happens to EVERY program, espe-cially in this day and age of so-called parity.

Just not now.Now about those Reds …

Engel dazzles as Pilots top LancersBY JOE GILROY

DHI Media [email protected]

MIDDLE POINT — Ayersville left-handed pitcher Eric Engel held the Lincolnview Lancers to just two hits through five innings Tuesday.

Engel also struck 11 batters on his way to shutting out the Lincolnview batters and his offense gave him more than enough support as the Pilots won the game 10-0 in five innings.

Tuesday night was unseasonably cold; by the time Lincolnview starter Derek Youtsey tossed the first pitch of the game, the temperature was only 33 degrees.

It took until the fourth inning until the bats finally thawed as Ayersville put up nine runs in the frame. The rally start-ed when Dauson Dales got hit by a pitch and then two more batters reached base by being beaned. By the time the inning ended, Ayersville had five batters reach base without putting lumber on the ball.

“The fourth inning we really got going. Dauson took one for the team, so

to say, and that seemed to calm us down a little bit and the early game jitters left us. (Derek) Youtsey pitched a great game for the first handful of innings, but I think he may have been on the basket-ball team and kind of wore out in that fourth inning,” said Ayersville coach Chad Donsbach.

Lincolnview head coach Eric Fishpaw knows his team is still getting some of the arms in shape after a late start to the season.

“They played a lot better than we did,” Fishpaw said. “Derek is still rounding into pitching shape. We have not come together as a team yet, there is a few guys on the team that played a long basketball season and that is affect-ing there play early. We will get better and the team will look different later in the season once the guys get reps.”

While the Pilots broke through on offense, Engel didn’t allow the same to happen for the Lancer bats.

“I got a lot of help from my guys on defense and when they are able to make plays like they did it gives me more free-dom to takes chances on the mound,”

Engel said. “I got my curve going early and when I am able to do that the rest of my pitches are just that much more effective. The reason my fastball looked so strong and fast is because I was able to get that slower curve mixed in really well.”

Willie Nelson…All about the Country. The iconic Willie Hugh Nelson has been all about the coun-try playing music for some 60 years.

An Arby’s 5 for 5 you may not know about the man….

In high school (Abbott High School, Texas) Nelson played halfback in football, guard in basketball, and shortstop in baseball.

Nelson has acted in over 30 films. (Played opposite Robert Redford in 1979 “Electric Horseman”)

A Willie Nelson statue is on Willie Nelson Boulevard in Austin, Texas.

In 1990 he released “The IRS Tapes: Who’ll Buy My Memories?” album to raise money for paying the IRS in back taxes.

Along with Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison, Neil Young, BB King, Billy Joel and oth-ers, he helped set up Farm Aid/1985 raising more than $9 million in support of small farmers.

Willie Nelson duets with other music artists.

The list seems endless but here is a sprinkling of notable collaborations:

“Beer for My Horses” with Toby Keith

“Seven Spanish Angels” with Ray Charles

“Baby It’s Cold Outside”

with Nora Jones“My Bucket’s Got a Hole

in It” with Wynton Marsalis“Highwayman” with

Johnny Cash, Kris Kristofferson & Waylin Jennings

Country Chart Toppers from Willie Nelson you may have sung along to a time or two:

“Blue Eye’s Crying in the Rain 1975

“Georgia On My Mind” 1978

“On The Road Again” 1980

“Angel Flying Too Close to the Ground” 1981

“Always On My Mind” 1982

Nelson long ago named his acoustic guitar “Trigger” (after Roy Rogers’ Horse) and fellow greats have signed it along the way. The acoustic guitar name is a 1969 Martin N-20 for those who know.

A seemingly everyday guy with likeable energy, Willie Nelson has been making folks happy with his music for as long as a baby boomer can remem-ber. Country music legends Johnny Cash and Hank Williams are in the Rock & Roll hall of fame. One wonders if Mr. Nelson will join them in rock n roll country?

Misc. WANT A PRINT AD that reaches over

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20Aries, you are ready to get moving and have a lot of momentum behind you. This is an ideal time to reach your goals. Don’t let your confi-dence waver.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21Taurus, this week it is better to trust your heart instead of your head. Sometimes you have to let your emo-tions guide your actions, and your gut could be telling you something.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21Gemini, you have good news to share and you are eager to reconnect with some friends or coworkers. Just complete prior commitments before you begin making plans to socialize.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22Cancer, things in your life seem to be growing more challenging by the day. Make a list and tackle things as they come up so you don’t start to feel overwhelmed.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23A few possibilities intrigue you, Leo, but you don’t yet know just where you are go-ing to direct your creative energy. Think it through a little longer.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22Virgo, you may feel like you can ignore your responsi-bilities this week, but you cannot. Although you have plenty of free time coming up, you have lots to do be-fore then.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23Libra, someone close to you isn’t on board with your point of view. You can’t please everyone all of the time. Stay the course if you feel it is right.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22Scorpio, something is on your mind you need to share your feelings. Resist the urge to hold your tongue. Honesty is the best policy in your book.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21Sagittarius, you are having a lot of fun now that you made it through a rather ex-tensive to-do list. You can fi-nally rest and breathe a little easier. Make some time for yourself.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20Capricorn, a busy schedule is proving problematic be-cause so many people are demanding some face time and you want to help them all. However, you will have to pick and choose.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18Your amicable nature and willingness to let go of your own personal agenda makes it relatively easy for you to interact with a lot of people this week, Aquarius.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20Pisces, think of ways to in-crease your income this week. Explore all of your options, even if they mean going out of your comfort zone.

When changing jobs, should you leave 401(k) money behind?

BY NATHANIEL SILLIN

With the average American spending only 4.6 years at any given job, it’s never been more important to have a plan for any retire-ment funds you’ve accrued at any employer.

A big problem that began during the 2008 recession but continues today involves loans, hardship withdrawals and complete cash-outs of 401(k) plans. A 2015 Boston College study (http://crr.bc.edu) reported that 1.5 percent of retirement assets “leak out” of 401(k) plans and personal IRAs each year, reducing an individual’s wealth at retirement by about 25 percent.

Meanwhile, a 2014 Fidelity Investments study sounded a particularly urgent alarm about 401(k) cash-outs and workers under the age of 40. The mutual fund giant noted that 35 percent of all participants were sim-ply cashing out their 401(k) assets when leaving a job. However, for workers aged 20-39 – indeed, those with the longest savings horizons – that number jumped to 41 percent.

So what should you do? A great deal depends on your age, time to retirement and specific needs.

Start by taking an invento-

ry of your retirement assets. Either alone or with the help of a qualified financial or tax expert, put together an offi-cial list of current and former 401(k) plans, personal IRAs or, depending on your years of work history, assets from traditional defined benefit retirement plans that were popular more than 20 years ago. Then see where you are.

Make sure you always review retirement options whenever you change a job. If an employer is high-ly motivated to get you on board, query the company about the retirement savings options that would fit the position you’re interview-ing for. Ask hiring manag-ers in general terms about how well their retirement

options have performed and if you would have the option of rolling over your 401(k) assets to that employer. If, for example, your prospective employer has a more gen-erous matching feature than your current employer has, that could create a favorable environment for transferring those assets. If not, you may want to keep your money in your employer’s existing plan or consider a rollover to a personal IRA with the fea-tures you’re looking for. Ask plenty of questions.

Evaluate IRA choices carefully. If you are consid-ering rolling your former employer’s assets into a per-sonal IRA, evaluate your tax situation, both Traditional and Roth IRA options and their performance and fee levels before you arrange for a transfer.

Go for the best-perform-ing investment options that fit your needs and anticipated retirement date. Employer-based 401(k) plans generally disclose investment choices and investment fees (http://www.dol.gov/ebsa/publica-tions/401k_employee.html). It may be a good idea to get qualified help to review those documents. Age is important. There’s typically a 10 per-cent penalty if you withdraw money from a 401(k) or IRA before age 59 ½. But if you

lose or leave your job at age 55 or later (or earlier for cer-tain public employees), you can generally take 401(k) withdrawals without penalty. An IRA rollover requires the account holder to be at least 59 ½ years old before they can take a penalty-free IRA distribution. While keeping your money invested as long as possible is key to a suc-cessful retirement, withdraw-al issues are also important to consider based on your age and time to retirement.

Invest on your own. It’s important to do parallel per-sonal retirement planning with any employer-based retirement options available to you. Again, get qualified help to assist you in evalu-ating the retirement savings and investment decisions you make on your own and at work.

Bottom line: Frequent job changing can derail any-one’s retirement planning. Whether you roll over a for-mer employer’s retirement assets every time you switch or decide to keep your money in certain plans, get help if you need it.

Parents know the cost of raising a family can be consid-erable. While some of the ex-penses associated with raising a family, including healthcare premiums, are largely beyond parents’ control, moms and dads can take steps to cut costs and start saving money.

According to the U.S. Bu-reau of Labor Statistics’ 2014 Annual Expenditure Survey, parents devoted about 8 per-cent of their family spending to groceries in 2013. Families with more than two children no doubt spend even more on groceries, which may be stretching their budgets very thin. Fortunately, parents con-cerned about their grocery bills can employ various strat-egies to lower those bills and start saving more.

• Never shop without first making a list. Modern grocery stores are much bigger than they might have been when today’s parents were grow-ing up. While that might be more convenient by ensuring parents can find all their gro-ceries under one roof, it also can lead to more impulse buys as shoppers stroll aisles and pass display after display. Af-ter checking your pantry and refrigerator to determine what you have and what you might need, make a list before head-ing out for the grocery store. Such lists can help you avoid purchasing items you don’t need.

• Keep the kids at home. Kids have a knack for finding unhealthy snacks and bever-ages, and parents may cave to the temptation to purchase such items in an attempt to get youngsters to calm down. By

Cut costs at the grocery store

keeping kids at home while you grocery shop, you can limit distractions and get out of the store quickly. That reduces the likelihood that you will buy items you don’t need, which will save you time and money.

• Grow your own herbs and vegetables. Cooking with herbs is a wonderful way to add flavor to any meal, and vegetables are an essential element of a healthy diet. While store-bought herbs and vegetables may not break the bank, over time the cost savings of growing your own herbs and vegetables can be considerable. And many people find gardening a relaxing and rewarding hobby they can enjoy on their own or with their children.

• Resolve to prepare meals with items that have been aban-doned in your pantry. Few people, especially parents, wait until their pantries are completely empty to go grocery shopping. If your pantry is full, clean it out and place some of the older, unexpired items on the counter, resolving to use them for meals during the week. This is a great way to make use of items you already purchased but might have forgotten about while also ensuring your money is not going to waste.

• Buy in bulk. Buying certain items in bulk can save large families considerable amounts of money. For example, buying a 100-count box of garbage bags for $15 every few months at your local home improvement store is more financially savvy than purchasing a 10-count box of garbage bags for $5 every couple of weeks. Avoid buying perishable items in bulk, as you run the risk of not eating the items before they expire, negating any savings you might have realized by buying in bulk.

Graduation is an exciting time in the lives of students. After years in the classroom pre-paring for life after school, graduation marks a time when students are finally ready to enter the “real world” and land their first profession-al job.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics advises that earning a college degree can greatly im-prove a person’s chance of landing a job. The more education a person receives, the lower his or her prospects of being unemployed be-come. The BLS said that, as of 2014, individ-uals with a bachelor’s degree could earn on average $1,101 per week, compared to $668 for persons with high school diplomas. Those with bachelor’s degrees had a 3.5 percent un-employment rate compared to 6 percent for those with only high school diplomas.

The National Center for Education Statistics estimates that roughly two million students earn bachelor’s degrees each year. Many oth-ers will go on to earn master’s or doctorates before entering the workforce.

As the economy continues to improve, job prospects follow suit. According to a job out-look from the National Association of Col-leges and Employers, employers had plans to hire 8.3 percent more new college graduates in 2015 than in 2014. The growth of businesses and the rising rate of retiring Baby Boomers has spurred employment prospects.

Landing a job post-graduation requires dil-igence on the part of new grads, and the fol-lowing are a handful of ways to make those pursuits more successful.

• Hit the ground running. It’s tempting for recent grads to take the summer off and have a lax approach to job hunting after all of the hard work they put into their education. But recent grads can get a head start on their competition by beginning their searches immediately after earning their degrees. Create a list of a few tar-get companies you have your eye on, and then tap into your network to find a contact at each

company and reach out to that contact directly.• Focus on a career path. Prospective em-

ployers prefer that applicants have some cer-tainty regarding the types of jobs they are look-ing for. Take a career assessment test or work with a career counselor to narrow down the fields and positions that speak to you. Avoid the “I’m willing to do or learn anything” ap-proach to job applications. Employers may see that as desperation.

• Don’t rely entirely on the Internet. Often-times, landing a good job requires reaching out to people in person. In a MonsterCollege sur-vey, 78 percent of job-seekers said networking was a factor in their job searches. Standing out from the crowd may involve physically stand-ing out. Attend conferences or speeches from people who work at the companies you’re investigating. Don’t be afraid to shake some hands and introduce yourself to others.

• Think about what you can offer to pro-spective employers. Narrow down your specif-ic skills and customize your résumés or cov-er letters to the specific talents you can offer each potential employer. Use examples that illustrate these skills from past school courses, volunteerism or part-time jobs. Your “quirks,” like being the most punctual person in your group of friends, may turn out to be the skill an employer admires the most. Consider develop-ing a career portfolio that highlights your past achievements.

• Do your homework before an interview or networking opportunity. Always be prepared before an interview or when meeting with someone you are soliciting for job help. Re-search the company and know its background so you have an idea of how the company runs. Keep a list of questions at the ready. A knowl-edge of the company can help you stand out from other applicants.

The next step for many after graduation is to find a job that fits with graduates’ career goals.

With $100 and the generosity of a nice man, K&M Tire was founded in 1970 as a two-bay gas station in a small northwest Ohio town. With the hope of making enough money to support his family and pay off the debts from a previously failed business venture, Ken Langhals never dreamed that 45 years later his company would be a super-regional wholesale tire distributor with 20 warehouses and over 500 employees. Leading the company from its humble beginnings to the powerhouse it is today through hard work and dedication, Ken is proud to have his daughter, Cheryl Gossard, driving the second generation at K&M Tire. Currently, she serves as vice president and has been with the company for 20 years. In addition to Cheryl, Ken has three other children, a son-in-law, and five grandchildren working at K&M Tire in various positions.

Proud to call Delphos home, the wholesale tire distributor finished an 87,000-square-foot addition this past December, to bring their total local warehouse space to nearly 350,000 square feet. Construction on the project began last April. In addition, K&M Tire built a fitness center at its headquarters which opened this past October.

Outside of Delphos, the company opened a new warehouse in the Cleveland area and had two acquisitions during 2015 – Kelle Oil and Midwest Tire & Muffler. The new 37,000-square-foot distribu-tion facility in northeast Ohio opened in May of 2015. It allows K&M Tire to service additional customers in that portion of the state. The Kelle Oil acquisition closed in July and consisted of the assets of their wholesale tire division located in Braman, OK. The purchase has allowed K&M Tire to expand and add to their customer base in Kansas and Oklahoma.

The most recent acquisition was Midwest Tire & Muffler located in the Dakotas which closed in October. Midwest Tire & Muffler operated three distribution centers in Sioux Falls and Rapid City, SD, as well as a location in Bismarck, ND. K&M consolidated the Bismarck warehouse into its existing 50,000-square-foot distribution center in the city. With the addition of the two South Dakota locations, K&M Tire finished 2015 with 20 locations servicing customers throughout the Great Lakes, Midwest and South Central regions of the United States.

Besides physical growth, K&M grew its charity efforts last year by organizing a philanthropic board last July. The new board, K&M Cares, was created to organize the company’s fund raising activities and to help make a difference in our communities.

With its customer first philosophy, K&M Tire is dedicated to offering brand name products that tire dealers depend on and consumers trust. Embracing the small town values that have helped shape the growth and success of the company, K&M strives to be the leading and most trusted provider of tires and services in all of our geographic markets.

The passenger train would be a Polar Express type. Everything, he said, would be lit up inside and out and the landscape would dupli-cate the area between 1945 to 1955 as closely as possi-ble. The engines are all steam engines.

When completed, the model itself will be under a Plexiglas shield, but visitors can start the action by simply pushing a button.

“It’s the only non-stat-ic display in the museum,” Desenberg said.

Desenberg said they were talking to Lionel about donat-ing some model trains for the display, while some would be donated by community members. Desenberg said he would probably buy some of the model trains as well.

He sent out a call to the public as well asking that if

any one had any O gauge model trains they’d like to donate, the museum would be happy to put them on display, or if they work, add them to the working model.

The Canal Commission also held their monthly meeting and reorganiza-tion meeting, too. Three of the commission’s members were re-elected as trustees for another three years; Jim Marihugh, Elmer Hoffman and Marilyn Wagner. They also added a new trustee, Mike Vanderhorst from St. Marys. Vanderhorst is retired from the state and had worked with the canal for 18 years. The commission has 21 trust-ees all together.

They set a goal of getting LED lighting installed on the second floor. The LED light-ing is gentler on the memo-rabilia than the fluorescent lights.

“Farmland does not come up for sale very often,” she said.There are other secondary factors in cropland prices. Crop

prices and soil quality are two of those factors. The crop report came out Thursday and it shows that farmers planted an additional three million acres in corn this year over last year. Consequently, corn prices dropped 14 cents a bushel. Obviously, earning less money per acre is one factor.

Then there’s soil type. Some soils are better than others. For example, the best soil is Pewano and then Blount. Quite often, a combination of the two types are common. Brookston and Milgrove are also good soil types for a farm, Spencer said. Spencer considers the Morley series to be the less productive soil than other types.

“We have not received any feedback on the proposal of the new pool hours (noon to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday and noon to 6 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday). I’m going to assume everyone is in agreement with that,” he added.

Councilman Tom Grothous asked if the admin-istration is going to reconsid-er the reduction in hours once the Kiwanis Splash Pad in is place. Coleman said the hours could be revisited at any time.

Coleman also reported Liebrecht Construction has been awarded the bid for upgrades to the walking path around the Delphos-Gillmor Reservoir. An $18,000 donation from the Mueller-Scherger Foundation sought by The Delphos Stadium Club will provide the match-ing funds for the $22,007 Natureworks Grant awarded to the city earlier this year. Coleman said the plan is to re-grade the existing aggre-gate, add four inches of Ohio Department of Transportation aggregate and remove veg-etation from the reservoir walkway. The contract with

Liebrecht marks the comple-tion of the path at June 1.

The number of bridg-es that need attention has dropped from three to two. Coleman reported at the last council meeting bridges over Flat Fork Creek on East First, East Third and East Seventh streets had been deemed defi-cient by the Allen County Engineer’s Office. ODOT has since reinspected the bridges and took the bridge on East Seventh Street off the list.

The city will seek grants 80/20 grants and monies from the Municipal Bridge Program to help trim the city’s 20 percent for repairs. The First Street bridge is in the most need of repair.

“There’s no immediate danger to someone driving over these bridges,” Coleman added. “They just need to be kept up.”

In the sole communication to council, veterinarian Dr. Bonnie Jones requested the use of Leisure Park for the annual Relay for Life mini relay Bark for Life on June 12. Jones requested the recre-ational area from 1-4:30 p.m. that Saturday with the Bark for Life held from 2-4 p.m. Council unanimously agreed.


Wolfe went to outline the groups volunteer efforts.

“You see them at Canal Days and the Postal and Canal Commission muse-ums, they help mulch the park trails and hold Food for America for our younger students to teach them where their food comes from. They do an out-standing job,” he concluded.

The highlight of the evening are the Honorary Degree, Star, Dekalb, FFA Appreciation and 110% awards. Winners are chosen by Advisor Scott Elwer, who also presents the awards.

Cory Osting was this year’s win-ner of the Honorary Chapter Degree. Members felt Osting deserved the award for his dedication as a coach for members in Ag Mechanics, Small Engines, Farm Management and Wildlife Management.

“I enjoyed FFA in high school and it was very beneficial to me and I want to give that back by supporting the pro-

gram,” Osting said.The 110% awards were given to

Kaley Calvelage and Kelly Krites; FFA Appreciation awards were given to Asya Hamilton and Cole Reindel; Emily Buettner received the Star Greenhand Award; Star Chapter Farmer went to Brent Buettner; Evan Krites was the Star in Agribusiness; Star in Agricultural Placement went to Caleb Haunhorst; and outgoing Chapter President Sophia Wilson won the Dekalb Award, the high-est local award given.
