phos. The new building allowed Lakeview Farms to bring production from its
Bristol, Wisconsin, plant to Delphos
and added 200 jobs here.
We were very excited about the
announcement, Gallmeier said. That
was a much-needed boost for Delphos
with industry growth, job growth and
utility use growth.
Voters also passed a much-needed
.25-income tax increase in May, putting approximately $400,000 in the
citys parks and recreation account,
freeing up the same amount to spread
throughout the lagging water and sewer
accounts.
Issues with failed membranes at
the wastewater treatment plant will
become pressing in the new year. Coleman, the mayor, and Wastewater Superintendent Todd Teman have been
diligently researching options to make
the plant more efficient and solve the
membrane issues. The plant has seen
membranes fail and blowers burn up
for the past three years and have found
little recourse with manufacturer Ovivo/Kubota, the company that built the
plant.
The administration has looked at
approximately 15 options, five from
Ovivo with only two showing promise
to solve the plants shortcomings.
Plans were also submitted by GE/
Zenon, Fibracast, Econity and New Terra, which have not been entirely fleshed
out with more information needed from
the manufacturers. A plan from Orbal
was dismissed because it called for totally replacing the membrane treatment
plant at a cost of $13 million.
Several of the plans call for new
membrane technology, including hollow fiber along with flat plate, which is
in use now at the plant; and hollow fiber
alone. All but one of the plans call for
a $3.2 million high-rate treatment for
wet weather peak flows. The one that
doesnt will call for everything coming
through the sewer system to be treated.

East Cleveland
weighs option
of bankruptcy
EAST
CLEVELAND,
Ohio (AP) East Cleveland has long been one of the
poorest cities in the state, a
model for what urban decay
looks like streets filled
with blighted and boarded-up
homes and tired commercial
districts.
And its beyond broke.
The city governments cellphone provider recently cut
off service for nonpayment. It
is getting two new salt trucks
purchased with federal money
but wont be able to fill them
because of what it owes Morton Salt Inc., one of the citys
fiscal overseers said.
This city of 17,000 people
is now considering whether to
file for municipal bankruptcy,
which would be a first for an
Ohio municipality.
East Cleveland in recent
years lost two of its biggest
employers and the income taxes paid by those who worked
there. East Clevelands bottom
line has been further diminished by substantial cuts in
state funding and a countywide reappraisal that further
reduced property tax receipts.
The Cleveland suburb has
been under a state-ordered
fiscal emergency since 2012,
which means a fiscal commission oversees the citys
finances and works with officials to devise a recovery plan.
East Cleveland has been there
before. It was under a fiscal
emergency from 1988 until
2006, the longest in state history.
The citys financial woes
have reached a point where
the head of the fiscal commission doesnt think bankruptcy
would even help. Sharon Hanrahan of the Ohio Office of
Management and Budget said
shes concerned the city wont
have enough cash in the bank
to make payroll for the first
pay period of 2015.
Mayor Gary Norton said
a bankruptcy filing is being
considered.
We have to recognize the
reality we face, weigh our options and choose a course,
Norton said in an interview
with The Associated Press.
Right now, were in the stage
of weighing our options.
He bristled at the notion that
East Cleveland wont make
payroll, noting that doomsayers have been predicting such
a thing for months. He emphasized that city government is
still delivering essential police, fire and emergency medical services and is picking up
residents trash.

The Pace of
Change
As old man 2014 staggers toward the finish line where baby
2015 awaits, a plethora of Top lists are making the rounds.
The Top Ten Biggest Political Gaffes caught our eye in a
year when mid-term elections were a national story. Top Ten
movies, songs, television shows, and books are joined by cell
phone services, apps, gifts, and home workout programs. We
even ran across a list detailing the Top Ten Scandals of the
year but with Bill Cosbys face as the thumbnail on the link,
we decided we did not want to know anymore about that ranking. Even the Times Bulletin and Delphos Herald are running
articles recapping the top stories of the year.
However, in this editorial space we decided to take a slightly
different approach as we reflect back by broadening the history
and throwing in the aspect of looking forward at the same time.
As the Times Square crystal ball drops at midnight next
Wednesday evening, we will be turning over our calendar pages to 2015. But what does that really mean? We decided to use
our youngest adults - those teenagers turning 18 years-old this
coming year - as a way of putting the change into perspective.
For those area teens born in 1997, they have never known
life without:
- Wifi - Wifi protocols were created in 1997.
- Smartphones - The first Blackberry hit the market in 1999.
This technology has been around for so long, it is nearly impossible to find someone who still has a working unit.
- Camera phones - Going along with the idea that a cell
phone was intended to do much more than just make phones
calls, the first camera phone was invented in 2003.
- High Definition - Did you receive a new television for
Christmas? Chances are very good you would have been unable to find that set before 2004 when HiDef televisions hit the
market at a price that made most people blush.
- Facebook - Did you wish all your friends a Merry Christmas? Share your favorite recipes and upload dozens of photos of your holiday celebrations? Facebook may feel like it has
been around forever but it was only invented in 2004 and spent
its first few years mainly as a college phenomenon. But for the
1997-borns turning 18 in 2015, Facebook has long since seen
its day, being replaced by Snapchat and other social media outlets.
- iPhone - The reason for many people to stand around for
hours or days, waiting for the new version to be released, the
iPhone has only been with us since 2007 but most fanatics
dont understand how civilization possibly crawled out of the
primordial ooze without them.
Of course there are also lots of other cultural items to remember as we think back to the birth year of the upcoming
crop of new adults. For instance:
- Hong Kong has always been under Chinese rule.
- Islamic extremists have always been known to kill innocent tourists after an attack left 60 dead in Egypts Valley of
the Kings.
- Princess Diana has never been alive.
- Mother Teresa has always been a figure of history.
- Mike Tyson could always tell them how a human ear tasted.
- Woolworths Department stores have always been closed.
- Tiger Woods has always been the youngest golfer to win
the Masters at the age of 21.
- Scientists have always been able to clone sheep named
Dolly.
We are not looking back at the history of inventions and
cultural items just to have fun at the end of the year. We are
also reminding ourselves of how fast the world around us can
change.
Think of all the technological changes in the past few years
that we now not only take for granted but rely upon every day
for work and personal use. Companies rely upon wifi connections to do business anywhere, 24 hours per day. People rely
upon smartphones and connectivity to be in touch with each
other every minute of every day. In less than a generation, just
these two inventions have so dramatically changed society, the
interruption of their service grinds the economy and peoples
lives to a halt.
That change is what has been on our minds most recently. As we enter 2015, the county commissioners and the city
administration are hard at work on improving the economic
conditions in our area. But they cannot do it alone. Bringing
in certain types of businesses or industries may call for area
residents to make changes and to not do it like weve done it
for the past 40 years. That is very difficult in Van Wert where
change is often considered a four-letter word.
But we encourage area residents to help when they can,
bend if they must, and adjust when needed. Because what may
be new and never-seen-before today, may be old hat in three or
four years. The world is changing at a pace that is breathtaking
and Van Wert County must not only be willing to accept that
change but also hop on board with gusto, sometimes even taking the lead, in order to survive.
We wish everyone a safe and happy 2015.

Thanks for supporting
our efforts
DEAR EDITOR:
Delphos-area residents,
Thank you for supporting
the third annual Betty Honigford Christmas Decorating Contest. The enthusiasm
of the decorators, entrants,
judges, voters and onlookers
is always uplifting. We know
a humble Christmas contest
cannot change the realities of
the world or the many struggles of others. We have seen
our share of hardships this
holiday season, heard about
the losses of others, been told
about the health challenges of
some and felt the real sadness
Christmas can bring.
We choose to focus on the
common decency of most
people, the unbreakable power of the human spirit and the
resiliency of the human heart.
We are happy if the decorated

An inspirational quote
for the new yearWhat
lies before us and what lies
behind us are small matters
compared to what lies within
us. And when we bring what
is within out into the world,
miracles
happen.
The
source is unknown but some
credit the quote to Henry
Haskins or Ralph Emerson.
Have you made any resolutions for 2015? Many
people make the same resolutions every year, only to
break them in a matter of
weeks or months. The key
is to make realistic resolutions. Dont set yourself up
for failure. Maybe we should
make a series of resolutions.
Say you will try to do certain
things the first quarter, a different challenge in the spring
and so forth.
In 2001 Diane Everson,
publisher of the Edgerton
(WI) Reporter, was president
of the National Newspaper
Association (NNA). For her
January NNA Report, Everson wrote a column for the
trade publication giving her
resolutions for 2001. I wont
share all of it with you but
here is the essence of it. Your
list might look about the
same.
Everson started by sharing an interesting item from
an NASA newsletter that she
received. It said: Have you
noticed the huge fuel tanks
when the Space Shuttle takes
off? The Space Shuttle uses
about 85 percent of its fuel in
the first FIVE MINUTES.
It needs that much fuel to
break through earths gravity. In addition, someone told
me that a jet uses 60 percent
of its fuel to get up in the air
for the same reason. It only
makes sense that the same is
true for us to do something
different.
Our comfort zone I think
can be as strong as the earths
gravitational pull. We have
to remember to put most of
our effort to make changes

good for your digestive system as well. Dont be serious
all day. Leave time to have
fun.
5. I am going to set aside
time each day for personal
growth. Make time to read or
listen. I know that the more
I improve myself, the more I
can improve my world.
6. I will be more grateful and show more appreciation. I want to possess an attitude of gratitude. There is
so much to be thankful for
good health, good friends,
prosperity and opportunity.
Dont take the good in life
for granted.
I will make the effort to
write more thank you notes,
give more compliments and
give daily thanks for the
abundance in my life.
7. I will be more loving to
my family and friends. I will
be more considerate to those
I come in contact with
whether it is a brief encounter or a lasting relationship.
We get back what we give,
and it is so easy to be inconsiderate of others. As a priority, make time for family and
friends.
*******
Put another way, here are
the words of Christian Larson. He wants us to Promise
Ourselves: to be so strong
that nothing can disturb our
peace of mind; to talk health,
happiness and prosperity to
every person we meet.
To make all our friends
feel that there is something
in them; to be just as enthusiastic about the success of
others as we are about our
own; to forget the mistakes
of the past and press on to
the greater achievements of
the future.
And finally, to be too
large for worry, too noble for
anger, too strong for fear and
too happy to permit the presence of trouble.
Other hand
(From page 6)
Finally we have reached number 10. Getting organized has been a goal of mine for
several decades now. I wonder what that says
about me?
Oh well. I wont be sharing my New Years
resolutions this year. It puts far too much pressure on me to succeed (perhaps change should
go here as well).

Some allow for a six-month
trial period to test their technology and see if it will be
useful at the plant and suit the
citys needs. All plans call for
an upgrade to the computer
(SCADA) system that runs the
facility. The system and software is obsolete. They also
all call for remediation to the
existing trains and cassettes,
which hold the membranes.

ABBY: Ive been
doing my mother-in-laws hair for the last
seven years. I became very busy with clients
and had her double-booked in between clients
because she wasnt a paying customer. She felt
shuffled around and decided to text me, telling me she will go to another hairdresser.
Im hurt and dont understand why she
wouldnt communicate this to me directly so
we could have worked something out. Whats
the best way to handle this? HAIRDRESSER IN CALIFORNIA
DEAR HAIRDRESSER: Talk with her directly. Tell her you received her text and the
snub wasnt intentional. One would think shed
realize you were doing her a favor by working
her in, but if she cant understand that, then
perhaps its better she see another stylist. Accept it and move on.
** ** **
DEAR ABBY: My daughter calls me
(hands-free) when she is driving in her car. We
have lively conversations and I enjoy her calls.
However, she is always either running errands
or on her way to work when she calls. I can be
in the middle of a sentence when she announces, Oops, Mom, Ive reached my destination.
Gotta go. Love you!
Am I wrong to feel she is fitting me in?
Or should I just be happy for the call? A
MOM IN CONNECTICUT
DEAR MOM: It may seem like your daughter is fitting you in, but at least she ends the
conversations with an expression of love. If her
schedule is busy, her drive time may be the
optimum time for her to talk privately. So be
happy its better than never hearing from
her at all.

From the
Archives
By
Kirk Dougal
December of 1968, the mission accomplished many firsts for mankind and NASA, but also revealed
just how much we had to learn
about our nearest celestial neighbor - even as we would reach out
only seven months later to land
upon it.
The Apollo 8 crew of Frank
Borman, James Lovell, and William Anders became the first humans to:
- travel beyond low earth orbit
- see the earth as a whole planet
- first to witness an earthrise
- the first to circle the moon
- the first to see the dark side of
the moon
- travel farther from earth than
anyone had ever gone
In addition to all the new records the crew set, they had the
important tasks of answering three
questions that would dramatically
affect the projected lunar landing
attempt only a few months later.
To reach their landing target in the
Pacific, Borman, Navy Capt. James
A Lovell Jr. and Air Force Maj. William A. Anders survived mans hottest and fastest re-entry through the
atmosphere.
Apollo 8 slammed into the out
limits of the atmosphere at 24,630
miles per hour, was punished by
forces nearly seven times the pull of
gravity and was blistered by heat of

Erin Cox continues to kick tail with her 9-3 week last week (5-1, 4-2) to improve
to 109-70-1 (52-33/57-37-1).
The other regular, John Parent, also went 9-3 with the same marks and now stands
67-39 (31-16/36-23).
Me? There is nothing to see here - please disperse!
I - cough, cough - went (ahem!) 6-6 (4-2/2-4) to now be 107-72-1 (47-38/60-34-1).

PRO: Cincinnati at Pittsburgh; Detroit at Green Bay; San Diego at Kansas City;
Carolina at Atlanta; Dallas at Washington; Arizona at San Francisco; Cleveland at
Baltimore.

C I N C I N N AT I :

teams.

STATE:
Sun
Devils just have
more talent. Now if this were basketball
method.
PRO:
PITTSBURGH: Um, Cincy got lucky last
week.
DETROIT: I dont like cheese on my
head (EN: No, just in my stomach!).
SAN DIEGO: San Diego always wins
when I dont want them to.
ATLANTA: Barely beating the Browns,
sorry Carolina; cant pick you.
DALLAS: I really wont even go near
a TV during the game so I wont give
them bad luck.
ARIZONA: I have refused to jump on
board the Cardinal train all season; let
me throw them a bone.
BALTIMORE: Whos the quarterback for
the Browns (EN: Connor Shaw)?

College:
CincinnatiVA Tech beat
Ohio State and
looked pretty
good doing it.
They were even
ranked shortly
thereaf ter.
That fell apart
quickly.
Arizona StateDavid Cutcliffe
has been outstanding at Duke, but ASU
has more talent.
South Carolina- Give the old ball coach
three weeks to prepare and he can
gameplan for just about anyone. Miami
doesnt have the discipline to beat the
more?
ATLANTA: Kudos to Cam for playing
12 days after accident. Still, give home
team a slight nod as Atlanta the hot
team to pick right now!
DALLAS: Snuck this in. Will be closer
than it should but Cowboys will
get it done. Til the playoffs.
SAN FRANCISCO: Third-team QB for AZ.
Plllleaaazze!
BALTIMORE: Ditto above (change AZ to
Cleveland).
ERIN COX
COLLEGE
VIRGINIA
TECH:
In
the spirit of
Christmas,
Yes, Virginia,
there is a
Santa Claus
and he is
delivering a
win this week.
ARIZONA
STATE: Im a
Kentucky fan,
which means I hate Duke (Editors
Note: Darn it; I should have thought
of that!).
SOUTH CAROLINA: My methods
of picking arent too shabby, (EN:
Showoff!!) so since Im going with
schools with two parts in the name, Ill
continue that trend here.
PENN STATE: Well that method ended
quickly so Ill go with Johns team. I do
like that logo!
SOUTHERN CAL: Ah, back to my original
Gamecocks.
Penn State- The offense has been bad
for much of the season, but a top-tier
defense and an elite kicking game give
the Nittany Lions the edge. Oh yeah,
and WE ARE!!!!
Nebraska- Going with gut feeling here.
Pros:
Pittsburgh- Steelers at home and the
Bengals have been up and down. After
beating the Broncos, it should be a
down week for Cincy.
Packers- I would love to pick the
Lions here, but Green Bay has won
something like 14 straight at home
versus Detroit. Even an improved Lions
defense wont be enough to overcome
an offense that has played from behind
far too often this year.
San Diego- The Chargers are playing
some of the best football in the league
of late.
Carolina- The winner of this game will
have a losing record and still gets to
host a playoff game.
Dallas- Washington is playing loose
and RGIII may be playing for his NFL
future, but the Cowboys have their
eyes on a first-round bye.
Arizona- The Cardinals are good, but
under normal circumstances Id take
the Niners at home. Given the late
loss last week and Jim Harbaughs
impending departure, my guess is San
Francisco cant get the season over fast
enough.
Baltimore- Because Cleveland will start
another rookie quarterback.

Apollo 8
(From page 8)
Like a speeding bullet, Apollos velocity gradually increased
until it reached a breath-taking
24,630 m.p.h. as it slammed into
the outer boundary of the earths
400,000 feet above the Pacific
Ocean. Thats 7,000 miles faster
than any previous man-in-space
re-entry.
Friction immediately built
up and the crafts heat shield
was blistered by temperatures of
more than 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit. But the temperature in
the cabin remained a comfortable 70 degrees.
The astronauts planned to remain on the Yorktown for a day,
primarily for medical checks.
Saturday they are to fly off the
carrier to Hawaii and transfer to
a larger plane for a flight to Ellington Air Force Base, only a
half-hour drive from their homes
near the Space Center.
After that theyll begin extensive debriefings on their historic
mission, in which they circled
the moon 10 times in 20 hours
and paved the way for other astronauts to land there sometime
next year.
Experts will probe them
carefully on the performance of
the huge Saturn 5 that rocketed
them out of this world Dec. 21,
the Apollo 8 spaceship that performed magnificently through
the six days, their flu-like illnesses early in the flight, and, of
course, the moon itself.
Moon geologists will be eager to study the thousands of
pictures which were taken of the
rugged surface, described by the
astronauts as a vast expanse of
nothing, uninviting, unappetizing, looking like plaster
of paris or beach sand.
Theyll quiz the astronauts
about any scientific knowledge
the trio may have gained about
the features, whether craters
were formed by meteorite impact or volcano.
There will be questions about
variations in orbital path as
Apollo 8 circled the moon at an
altitude of 70 miles, and if these
were caused by large concentrations of material buried beneath
the surface.
Also, the geologists will want
to know if the moon has a weak
atmosphere and what the hidden
backside looks like.
But most of all, NASA officials will ask them about navigating and attempts to land. Preliminary reports from Apollo 8
indicated it was relatively easy to
navigate and locate landmarks
on the surface.
