Dan Heath in Stadium Park Sunday
There has been a change in the lineup for the Delphos Rotary Clubs Music
in the Park Series. Dan Heath with the Paradise Band will perform at 6 p.m.
Sunday in the Hanser Pavilion in Stadium Park instead of the Berlin Brothers.
The band is inspired by the great jazz and pop standards from the 1920s through
the mid-70s. This allows the band great latitude in mood, tempo, style and genre.
While the band does cover a number of songs, the band also arranges a num-
ber of its songs to fit the fine musical abilities of the instrumentalists. The jazz
aspect of the band comes into play when the vocal goes out and free-wheeling,
creative instrumentals take over. The band then is inspired by a number of
song stylists, song writers and band arrangers like Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Tony
Bennett, Bobby Darin, Elvis, the Beatles, Cole Porter, Johnny Mercer, Gus Kahn
and Nelson Riddle. Broadway musicals also play a role in the bands song list. The
Paradise Band consists of some of the finest musicians in the Fort Wayne area.
Food and refreshments will be served beginning at 5:30 p.m. (Delphos Herald file

In-homeHIVtestingkits

JulyisHIV/AIDSAwarenessMonthand
there is no better time than now to get
tested.
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) estimates that 1.2 million
people in the United States are living with
HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) and
oneinfive(18percent)ofthosearenotaware
theyareinfected.AmongHIV-positivepeople
aged1324,only41percenthavebeendiag-
nosed.
Recently, testing has been made much
moreconvenientforthosewhodonotwantto
gotoahealthdepartmentortheirdoctorand
can afford to purchase an in-vitro diagnostic
home-usetestforHIVinoralfluid.
On July 3, 2012, the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration approved the OraQuick
In-Home HIVTest, the first over-the-counter
home-userapidHIVtestkittodetectthepres-
enceofantibodiestohumanimmunodeficien-
cy virus type 1 (HIV-1) and type 2 (HIV-2).
HIVisthevirusthatcausesacquiredimmune
deficiencysyndrome(AIDS).
The in-home test kit is designed to allow
individuals to collect an oral fluid sample
by swabbing the upper and lower gums
insideoftheirmouths,thenplacethatsample
into a developer vial and obtain test results
within 20-40 minutes. Kits are available at
Walgreensinthepharmacy.
Van Wert County Health Departments
STD (sexually transmitted disease) Clinic
Nurse Linda Bissonette, RN, said that she
administers the same test OraQuick HIV
Testwhich is called the Rapid HIV Oral
Testatthefacility.
The tests are simple, Bissonette stated.
People ages 18 and older can come to the
Health Department and get one for free,
unlesstheycanpayadonation.
AsofSept.30,2012,AllenCountyreports
73 persons living with a diagnosis of HIV
infection.PutnamandVanWertCountiesboth
report less than 10 individuals living with a
diagnosisofHIV.
HIV testing is done on a walk-in basis
on Mondays at the STD Clinic. Bissonette
requeststhatpeoplecalltheclinicanddiscuss
proceduralinstructionspriortotesting.
Bissonette said that when a person tests
positive after being tested at the Health
Department,theinformationisturnedoverto
aDiseasePreventionSpecialist.Shesaysthat
personwillthenhaveaccesstomedicaltreat-
ment and counseling. Furthermore, people
usingthekitsmaynothaveadoctorandnever
receiveanyhelpatall.
I understand the concept, Bissonette
explained. The main problem with in-home
testing is that a personal component is miss-
ing. We may never know how many people
arepositive.
On average, Bissonette tests 3-4 people
permonth.
Allen County Health Departments
HIV Education and Test Coordinator Jodi
Willeke said that free, confidential and
anonymous testing is available from 8:30
a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Thursday.
There are also open testing sites at Hardin,
Auglaize, Logan, and Putnam County
HealthDepartments.

DELPHOS Fifty-
five years of serving in
the church and Delphos
community led to Dr. Earl
Morris receiving The
FootprintAwardatTrinity
UnitedMethodistChurch.
Duringachurchservice
on June 30, Morris was
honored with the award
thatisgiventothosededi-
catedtoservingothers.
It was a surprise,
Morrissaid.Ididntthink
I deserved an award for
the activities I had done
and helped with because
it was a committee or a
group who did the work
withme.
Tr i ni t y Uni t ed
Methodist Church cre-
ated The Footprint Award
to recognize service and
dedication, the Rev. Dave
Howellsaid.
Throughouthistimein
Delphos, Dr. Morris has
been more than willing to
lend a hand and help oth-
ers, Howell said. In the
church, he serves in every
capacity.
Morris moved to
Delphos with his wife
Margie in 1958 to join his
brother Dr. Burl Morris,
who had already started
practicing chiropractics in
town.
Right away, Morris
started getting involved
in the church, first as an
assistant superintendent of
theSundayschoolandthen
withjustabouteverycom-
mittee within the church.
He worked to become a
chairman on those com-
mitteesaswell.
He has done everything
from serving as chairman
to helper for making noo-
dles to setting up chairs
andtables,Howellsaid.
He has never not been
willingtodowhatneedsto
bedone,Howellsaid.

The main problem with

Zimmerman jury
adjourns deliberations
for the day
MIKE SCHNEIDER
Associated Press
SANFORD, Fla. With
police and civic leaders urging
calm, a jury began deliberat-
ing George Zimmermans fate
Friday after hearing dueling
portraits of the neighborhood
watch captain: a cop wannabe
who took the law into his own
hands or a well-meaning volun-
teer who shot Trayvon Martin
because he feared for his life.
As the jury got the murder
case, police in this Orlando sub-
urb went on national television
to plead for peace in Sanford
and across the country, no mat-
ter what the verdict.
There is no party in this
case who wants to see any vio-
lence, Seminole County Sheriff
Don Eslinger said. We have an
expectation upon this announce-
ment that our community will
continue to act peacefully.
