Crish explains dispatch center workings to council
BY NANCY SPENCER
Herald Editor
nspencer@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS Allen County
Sheriff Sam Crish and Chief Deputy
Jim Everett addressed Delphos City
Council on moving dispatching from
the Delphos Police Department to
the Allen County Sheriffs Dispatch
Center.
The first thing I want to stress is
that by us taking on the dispatching
for Delphos, we are not going to be
making money off the city, Sheriff
Crish said. We will just attempt to
cover our added costs.
The city and the sheriffs
department have hashed out an
$80,000--per-year payment for the
service. The fee will cover the cost
of two full-time dispatchers.
Crish explained the way the
dispatching for a Delphos resident
would work.
The call will come in and we
will directly dispatch it to the police
or fire and rescue departments,
he said. Actually, it will elimi-
nate a small amount of lag time.
Those calls come in to us now and
we transfer them to Delphos and
then they dispatch the appropriate
party.
Currently, all 9-1-1 calls made
from cell phones and landlines from
Allen County are automatically sent
to the county dispatch.
The call center currently employs
15 dispatchers and if the Delphos
contract is approved, it will add two
dispatchers, one each for first and
second shift.
We have a marked decrease in
calls for third shift compared to the
other two, so we wont be adding
a dispatcher for that shift, Crish
added.
Crish said if the county and city
agree on the contract, which he
has no problem with and is willing
to take Delphos on, there will be
issues that will have to be worked
out.
There are going to be bumps
in the road, he said. We have not
had any life-threatening problems
and hopefully we wont but there
will be things that arise well need
to address.
He added that if his center does
take on the Delphos service, he
would like to meet the two dispatch-
ers working in Delphos to see if
they would like to make the move
to the center.
Crish invited anyone who is
interested in touring the dispatching
facility to call and make an appoint-
ment.
Deer Creek Apartments at the
southeast end of Delphos may see a
$7-8 million redevelopment. Interim
Safety Service Director Sherryl
George read correspondence from
Developer Pete Schwiegeraht from
MV Residential Development on a
proposal with a brief description.
The current facility, built in
1988, has 70 two-bedroom, one-
bath units; and 14 two-bedroom,
one-bath and one den units. The
rehabilitation would include the
same total units with six one-bed-
room, one-bath; 48 two-bedroom,
two-bath; 24 three-bedroom, two-
bath; and six four-bedroom, two-
bath units. The new plans also call
for a clubhouse with community
room and business center, a new
playground, in-unit laundry, green
design (Energy Star) and walking
trails.
The company will relocate the
existing residents at their cost and
seek federal funding for the project.

Man to share kidney with brother
BY NANCY SPENCER
Herald Editor
nspencer@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS Kyle and Kory Mullenhour
are as close as brothers can be. Just two years
apart at 26 and 24 years old, respectively,
the pair have shared many experiences. They
work together and play together. Theyre both
married with no children and both work at
H.G. Violet Equipment. On Jan. 28, the broth-
ers will become even closer as Kory shares
one of his kidneys with his brother.
Kyle found out he needed a kidney when
he accidentally discovered he had high blood
pressure. At a 2012 family Easter gather-
ing, the family was checking their blood
pressure with their grandfathers equipment
when Kyles reading showed his pressure was
extremely high.
When he went to the doctor, he learned his
kidneys were only functioning at 20 percent.
The doctor said at some point I had gotten
a virus that had attacked my kidneys, which in
turn affected my blood pressure, Kyle said.
My kidneys are junk. No one has any idea
how long this had been going on.
What confounded his doctor was the fact
that Kyle had been feeling fine and working
every day.
I had been having headaches and
migraines on a daily basis, Kyle explained.
I would throw up and then theyd go away.
I didnt even think about it being my blood
pressure.
Kory immediately stepped up and said he
would be tested to see if he was a match.
I wanted to get checked to see if I was a
match, he said. I really didnt hesitate. He needs
a kidney and I have one he can use, its his.

DELPHOS In light of the recent weather conditions,
health professionals explain that there is no time like the pres-
ent to devise an emergency preparedness plan which would
ease all family members minds during dangerous weather-
related situations.
The Area Agency on Aging 3s Health Education
Coordinator Dancie Mohler said since more and more families
live apart older adult parents reside in one area and their
adult children in another there needs to be an emergency
plan in place to protect the vulnerable older adult population.
In general, family should make sure someone is always
checking in with them [older adults], Mohler said.
Emergencies can disrupt the support systems that many
older adults rely on and for many of them, independent living
is made possible only with help from friends, family and in-
home services that provide meals, home-based health care and
help with chores and personal care needs.
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
describes vulnerable populations as the people who cannot
comfortably or safely access and use the standard resources
offered in disaster preparedness, relief and recovery. They
may include people with sensory impairments (blind, deaf,
hard-of-hearing); cognitive disorders; mobility limitations;
limited English comprehension or non-English speaking; as
well as people who are geographically or culturally isolated,
medically or chemically dependent, or homeless.
Close to 93 percent of Medicare enrollees aged 65 years or
older live in the community, rather than in nursing homes or
other congregate settings, and nearly one-third of this group
lives alone.
Family, older adults
need emergency
preparedness plan

Some find health insurers have no record of them
BY TOM MURPHY
Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS
Record-keeping snags could
complicate the start of insur-
ance coverage this month
as people begin using poli-
cies they purchased under
President Barack Obamas
health care overhaul.
Insurance companies are
still trying to sort out cases
of so-called health insurance
orphans, customers for whom
the government has a record
that they enrolled, but the
insurer does not.
Government officials say
the problem is real but under
control, with orphan records
being among the roughly
13,000 problem cases they are
trying to resolve with insur-
ers. But insurance companies
are worried the process will
grow more cumbersome as
they deal with the flood of
new customers who signed
up in December as enrollment
deadlines neared.
More than 1 million people
have signed up through the
federal insurance market that
serves 36 states. Officials con-
tend the error rate for new
signups is close to zero.
Insurers, however, are less
enthusiastic about the pace
of the fixes. The companies
also are seeing cases in which
the government has assigned
the same identification num-
ber to more than one person,
as well as so-called ghost
files in which the insurer has
an enrollment record but the
government does not.
But orphaned files when
the insurer has no record of
enrollment are particu-
larly concerning because the
companies have no automated
way to identify the presumed
policyholder. They say they
have to manually compare the
lists of enrollees the govern-
ment sends them with their
own records because the gov-
ernment never built an auto-
mated system that would do
the work much faster.
Its an ongoing concern,
said Robert Zirkelbach, a
spokesman for the industry
trade group Americas Health
Insurance Plans. Health
plans cant process enroll-
ments they havent received
from the exchange.
Julie Bataille, communica-
tions director for the federal
health care rollout, disputes
the industrys view.
We have fixed the issues
that we knew were a problem,
and we are now seeing nearly
zero errors in the work mov-
ing forward, she said.
A federal reconciliation
team, including technicians,
deals directly with more than
300 insurers to resolve signup
problems, she said, while the
governments call center has
caseworkers to help consum-
ers directly.
Insurers use the term
orphan for the problematic
files because they are refer-
ring to customers who have
yet to find a home with the
carrier they selected. The files
have cropped up since enroll-
ment began last fall through
HealthCare.gov. The site was
down an estimated 60 percent
of the time in October.
Since then, the front-end
interaction between custom-
ers and the website has largely
been fixed.
But insurers worry that
the back-end problems will
grow more acute as they pro-
cess the wave of customers
who signed up at the end of
2013. More than 2 million
people had enrolled by the
end of the year, either through
HealthCare.gov or state-run
websites.
Aetna spokeswom-
an Susan Millerick said
orphaned files were man-
ageable over the short term.
But she added that manu-
ally comparing enrollment
files will not work over the
long term and that the federal
website needs a permanent
fix to eliminate the possibil-
ity of orphaned files.

Man seeks
clemency in wifes
hospital killing
CLEVELAND (AP) A
man convicted and sentenced
to six years in prison for fatal-
ly shooting his ailing wife in
her hospital bed has asked
the governor for clemency, his
attorney said Thursday.
John Wise is in poor
health and is not likely to sur-
vive his prison sentence, his
attorney, Paul Adamson, said
in an email announcing the
clemency filing.
A grant of clemency could
lead to a reduced sentence or
release for Wise.

Trooper praised for arrest of man with bombs
LONDON (AP) An
Ohio State Highway Patrol
trooper was praised for his
actions in a traffic stop
that led to the arrest of a
man with bombs and other
weapons in his vehicle.
Trooper William Scott
Davis reported stopping
a vehicle in central Ohio
for going 85 mph in a
70-mph zone on Interstate
70 late Jan. 1. He said
driver Andrew Scott
Boguslawski told him he
didnt have weapons, but
Davis spotted the butt of
gun tucked between his
legs.
Davi s t hen hel d
Boguslawski at gunpoint
and called for backup,
leading to a search that
police say recovered 48
explosives, four guns and a
remote detonation device.
The Ohio fire marshals
office and federal agents
soon joined the search.
The 43-year-old Indiana
National Guardsman is
being held in Madison
County on $1 million bond.
He had worked at a train-
ing center near Butlerville,
Ind., and indicated to
troopers he had items for
training purposes.
We dont know what
his intentions were and
certainly that is what the
investigation is going to
reveal, Lt. Marty Fellure,
commander of the West
Jefferson patrol post, told
the Dayton Daily News.
This is just a great stop by
the highway patrol, great
stop for Trooper Davis
to remove those kind of
devices from the roadway
and keep everybody safe.
Boguslawski has a court
appearance scheduled this
morning.
The Indiana National
Guard says he received
military intelligence train-
ing and had served there
since 2007, after transfer-
ring from the Tennessee
National Guard. He joined
the Pennsylvania National
Guard out of high school
and also served in the Ohio
National Guard, according
to Indiana guard records.
Wright State University
officials near Dayton said
he earned a bachelor s
degree in organizational
leadership in 2006.
He had been in the
Indiana guards medi-
cal discharge unit since
November, but an Indiana
guard spokeswoman said
she couldnt discuss his
medical condition.
He gave police a Moores
Hill, Ind., home address.
Tech glitch
hinders drivers
license process
AKRON (AP) Hundreds
of Ohioans trying to get or
renew their drivers licenses
this week are running into
trouble because of computer
problems.
The state Bureau of Motor
Vehicles says people with
licenses nearing expiration
who cant renew because of
the glitch are being issued let-
ters to explain the problem so
theyre not penalized for it by
law enforcement officials. Its
not clear when the technical
glitch might be resolved.
A BMV spokeswoman says
the problem started Monday
with a software update, and
the issue is affecting access
to databases that help check
drivers records.
She says the outages have
been sporadic. Some drivers
have been able to get their
licenses.
State works to
get word out on
human trafficking
COLUMBUS (AP)
Ohio is partnering with librar-
ies, highway rest areas, clinics
and facilities overseen by state
agencies to build awareness
about human trafficking.
Gov. John Kasichs office
made the announcement
Thursday, during an annual
Human Trafficking Awareness
Day at the Statehouse.
Human trafficking is the
illegal trade of human beings
for commercial sexual exploi-
tation and forced labor.
Kasichs office says the
goals of the awareness cam-
paign are to educate people
on how to recognize the signs
of human trafficking, how to
report it and how to direct vic-
tims to available services and
treatment.
For instance, the Ohio
Turnpike Commission plans
to place posters in its service
plazas. Posters will be sent
to about 730 Ohio libraries,
and the states public safety
agency will make 5,000 post-
ers available to people.
Northeast Ohio man admits
stealing donation kettle
PAINESVILLE (AP) A
northeast Ohio man has pleaded
guilty to stealing a Salvation
Army donation kettle days
before Christmas.
The News-Herald in
Willoughby reports 55-year-
old Jeffrey L. Gregg pleaded
guilty to misdemeanor theft
Wednesday in Painesville. Hell
be sentenced Thursday.
Lake County sheriffs Chief
Deputy Frank Leonbruno says
the red kettle had an estimated
$300 to $500, but no one knows
for sure.
Deputies said Gregg who
has no permanent address
stole the kettle in front of a Giant
Eagle grocery store Dec. 21 by
convincing real Salvation Army
volunteers that he was taking
over the bell-ringing shift. Soon
after, he put the kettle in a car
and left.
Detectives used surveillance
video to catch up with Gregg,
who was sleeping in his car.
State asks judge
to let killers
execution proceed
COLUMBUS (AP) The
condemned killer of a pregnant
woman waited too long to chal-
lenge the states untried lethal
injection method and hasnt
shown he faces a substantial
risk of harm from the two-drug
process, attorneys for the state
argued in court papers Thursday.
The method has been part of
Ohios execution process since
2009 though never used
and higher courts have twice
rejected claims that the drugs pose
a risk of severe pain, the attor-
neys argued in opposing death
row inmate Dennis McGuires
attempt to stop his execution
scheduled for next week.
A judge will hear oral argu-
ments in the federal case today.
Ohio plans to use intra-
venous doses of two drugs,
midazolam, a sedative, and
hydromorphone, a painkiller,
to execute McGuire Thursday.
Since 2009, Ohios exe-
cution policy has called for
those same drugs to be inject-
ed into an inmates muscle
if the states regular lethal
drug didnt work. That backup
method has never been used.
The state says thats because
courts have upheld the use of
those drugs in the backup method,
McGuire cant challenge their
use just because they are to be
given intravenously.
Latta leads bipartisan charge
to cut unnecessary red tape
Information submitted
WASHINGTON, D.C. Wednesday,
the U.S. House of Representatives passed
H.R. 724, a bipartisan bill sponsored
by Congressman Bob Latta (R-OH), to
repeal a duplicative mandate on auto
dealers. Co-sponsored by Congressman
Gary Peters (D-MI), this legislation is
the result of bipartisan cooperation.
H.R. 724 is simple, direct, and sends a
clear message that hardworking American
taxpayers, and specifically auto dealers,
should not be burdened with redundant
regulatory requirements. This legislation
will make the car-buying process a little
simpler and let auto dealers spend less
time complying with obsolete regulatory
requirements and more time developing
their businesses, investing in local com-
munities and creating jobs. As this legis-
lation represents, finding ways to reduce
unnecessary red tape is not only a policy
goal both sides of the aisle can agree on,
but it is a policy goal that can actually
get done, said Congressman Latta.
Under the current regulation, the
Clean Air Act requires auto dealers to
present purchasers of new light-duty
motor vehicles with written confirma-
tion that the vehicles emissions system
passed either a visual inspection or on-
board-diagnostics test. This requirement
has been superseded by standard use
of catalytic converters and new vehicle
warranties that offer much more cover-
age than when the agency requirement
was first enacted. Further, other statutory
measures require new vehicles comply
with the Clean Air Act before entering
the stream of commerce and information
provided by the certificate is available
to consumers under the hood or on the
Internet.
