State Route 190 open

BY STEVEN COBURN-GRIFFIS
FORT JENNINGS While acknowledging that the

situation is less than ideal, Fort Jennings Mayor Jim Smith
announced the reopening of State Route 190 in the village.
Smith informed members of council of the action during
their Tuesday evening meeting.
The village and the Ohio Department of Transportation
closed the road for planned repairs to a culvert running
beneath the blacktop. The seasons torrential rains and subsequent flooding brought efforts to a standstill.
The hole is approximately two feet from the pavement
and approximately 12 feet down, Smith explained, commenting further that the State, citing the hazardous nature
of the site, required the village to close the road. A couple
of times we got close to fixing it and then it would rain
again. You cant fix a tile if you cant see a tile.

DELPHOS In spite
of gray skies, high temperatures and rain in the forecast,
it was a packed house at
the Immaculate Conception
Parish Festival on Sunday.
Raffles, games, music, a
kids tractor pull and, best
of all, food topped the highlights of the event.
Strolling through the
church parking lot, Father
Jerry Schwetter encouraged younger festival goers
to grab a popsicle from a
cooler he carted along with
him, a tradition he began
on arriving in the parish in
2013. Later, he reflected on
attendance at the event.
Its a small parish festival, but we get a lot of
guests from out of town,
he said, people that used
to reside here and relatives
coming home to see family
and friends.
Reverend Jerry Schwetter encouraged all comers to

help themselves to free popsicles in Sundays sweltering
heat. (DHI Media/Steven Coburn-Griffis)
Shortly before 3 p.m., volunteers hauled out bleachers,
seats for spectators at the
annual kids tractor pull. Some
15 children, broken into three
different age groups, registered to compete for trophies
and candy bars.
In the 3-to-4-year olds,
Dominic Davis, Axel Fiedler
and Ben Jaross took first,
second and third places,

respectively. In the 5-to-6year-old age group, it was
Owen Bellman, Riley Sheets
and Courtney Ricker, while
in the seven to eight-year
olds, Logan Sheets, Cody
Ricker and Jayden Saxton
took home trophies.

Van Wert Rib Fest announces schedule
Bret Michaels

Wetzelland
BY ED GEBERT
DHI Media Editor
news@delphosherald.com
WETZEL The last weekend of July, locals are accustomed to seeing an abundance
of motorcycles running through
Van Wert and the surrounding
area especially northern
portions of the county. Soon
the music will reverberate the
tiny town of Wetzel and please
music lovers and also non-profit
organizations will look forward
to their own benefits. Its time
for Wetzelland once again.
For 29 years, the party and
swap meet has brought many
incredible and legendary musicians to Van Wert County to perform. This year will be no different but as Wetzel Motorcycle
Clubs Jack Trinosky pointed
out, there may be a little different vibe to some of this years
music.
Its a different brand of
entertainment. Weve toyed
with having blues artists here
before, but it hasnt been consistent. This year were having Ronnie Baker Brooks,
who has been to Van Wert
before, Tommy Castro and the
Painkillers and Deanna Bogart.
She hasnt been here before and
neither has Tommy Castro. So
were looking forward to having
them. There are a ton of blues
artists out there, and were hoping we can kind of make a little
change of direction and maybe
lean a little bit more toward the
blues. They say rock and roll is
the baby of the blues. Trinosky
remarked. Then well have
Bret Michaels, and hes an artist from the 80s with the band
Poison. And then Nashville
Crush. We think its a pretty
good lineup. We think were
going to please people.
The club decided to check
with party-goers through the
past year to see what changes

that could be made to please the
crowd. The theme of the feedback was more.
They said they would like
that fourth day, Trinosky said,
referring to Thursday, when
many of the past events have
started. They like having that
Thursday. So were going to
have Gene Deer, hes an artist from Indiana with a lot of
notoriety in Indiana, Thursday
night.
Sticking with the theme of
more in the planning of this
years party, look for other additions as well.
Were added a few more
bike games to the mix on Friday
and Saturday And we brought
the poker run back this year, so
well have the poker run, two
nights of games and three nights
of entertainment.
The one item that goes in
the less column is the price.
The cost of admission is down
this year to $50 per person with
parking fees and golf carts extra.
Were trying to ramp things
up for our party next year,
which will be the 30th year,
Trinosky said.
Much of the Wetzel celebration is seen later in the year
when Wetzel M.C. passes
out proceeds from the annual
party to many local charities.
The group have given away
more than $100,000 in the
past decade. Trenosky related
that club members out buying
Christmas presents for local
children have received anonymous cash donations to bolster
the totals.
Despite a month of rain, the
100 acres of ground at the center of the party is holding up
well.
Were trying to ramp things
up for our party next year,
which will be the thirtieth year,
Trenosky said.

VAN WERT Rib Fest is getting
closer and the vendors and bands have
been announced. The ninth annual Van
Wert will be held Friday, August 7 and
Saturday, August 8 at the Van Wert
County Fairgrounds.
Van Wert Area Convention and
Visitors Bureau Executive Director is
especially excited about this years
event. It would have been hard to
have imagined nine years ago that Rib
Fest would be what it is today, he
exclaimed. Every year weve tried
hard to make it bigger and better than
the year before. We have gained a good
reputation which means weve been
able to attract more vendors and bigger
entertainment.
The festival has always packed in
mouthwatering food, plenty of games
and activities, and incredible music. The
bands feature some old, familiar names

and some hot newer groups.
Lee stated, We have an outstanding
line-up of entertainment both evenings.
On Friday night beginning at 7:30 the
local band, Section Ate, will take the
Cooper Farms Stage followed by The
Earthquakers. The Earthquakers, from
the Erie, Pennsylvania area, are back by
popular demand. They put on a really
good show and everyone has a good
time when they are on stage.
Three more bands take the stage on
Saturday beginning with Fort Waynes
Soft-N-Heavy. The band, formed by
four local guys in 2012, have become
one of the most popular groups in
the Fort Wayne area, Lee explained.
Saturday night music continues at

INFORMATION SUBMITTED
COLUMBUS Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted today certified

that ResponsibleOhio has failed to meet the necessary requirements
to place their proposed constitutional amendment, titled Marijuana
Legalization Amendment, before voters on the November 2015
General Election Ballot.
Petitioners were required to submit at least 305,591 valid signatures, a number equal to 10 percent of the total votes cast for governor
in the most recent gubernatorial election, 2014. Having submitted
only 276,082 valid signatures statewide, ResponsibleOhio has failed
to meet this requirement.
As part of the total number of signatures needed to place the
measure on the ballot, petitioners are also required to have submitted
signatures from at least 44 of Ohios 88 counties, and within each
of those counties, collected enough signatures equal to five percent
of the total vote cast for governor in the most recent gubernatorial
election, 2014. The petitioners met this requirement, having collected
enough signatures to meet the five percent threshold in 73 counties.

fine craft invitational
LIMA ArtSpace/Lima announces the opening of
ArtSpace/Pops 2015: A Fine Craft Invitational in The Ellen
Nelson Gallery with a reception for artists from 2-4 p.m. on
Sunday.
ArtSpace/Pops 2015 features all new works by nineteen
area craftsmen and -women in a joint showing which builds
on the success of its predecessors. Artists on display work in
wood, metal, clay, paper, fabric, and various jewelry-oriented
combinations of metals and beads. Artists for the show include:
Michael Bendele, Kaye Boiarski, Ed Corle, Judy Decker, Anna
Fisher, Jodi Knoch, Brandon Knott, Gene Krietemeyer, Sue
Lazerwitz, Kim Leopold, Gregg Luginbuhl, Martha Sackett,
Yasue Sakaoka, Luke Sheets, Stacey Slick, Steve Smith,
Barbara Spurgeon, Kaname Takada, and Sumiko Takada. All
of the craftspersons in the exhibit are from Ohio and several
have been award-winners in earlier ArtSpace shows.
The emphasis of the exhibit is on fine crafts: work that
exhibits the same imaginative creativity, the same attention to
detail and the same understanding of medium as any art must
do.
The exhibit will run through Aug. 29.
ArtSpace/Lima is a not-for-profit arts organization with a
mission to promote the arts in northwest Ohio and to provide
artists with a venue to present and to sell their work. ArtSpace/
Lima is supported in part by a grant from the Ohio Arts
Council.

Nineteenth
century
American History was marked
by advancement, growth, settlement, and conflict. As the
advancing frontier moved
westward, conflicts sprung up
with the British and Native
Americans. While the War of
1812 resolved issues between
Britain and the U.S., by 1860
the country was divided by
the Civil War. At the dawn of
the 20th century, the U.S. was
at war with Spain. In spite
of these conflicts, American
identity, ingenuity, and culture grew throughout the period.

Braun dominates Celina, Cougs move on

COLDWATER Pitching and

defense.
That has been the formula for the first
five games of the 2015 ACME Baseball
Congress State Tournament from iconic
Veterans Field at Coldwaters Memorial
Park.
That includes the fifth game, a 1-hit
gem of a complete-game shutout by Van
Wert right-hander Josh Braun versus
Celina on a warm Sunday afternoon.
The Cougars scored a pair of runs in
the top of the seventh and Braun sent
down the Bulldogs 1-2-3 in the last
of the frame to finish a 2-0 semifinal
triumph.
Pitching and defense has been our
strengths this summer and they were
today. How dominant was Josh today
on the mound! Van Wert coach Todd
Dunlap exclaimed. He only gave up
two base-runners, walked no one and
struck out three. He doesnt throw it by
batters; he throws three or four pitches
for strikes, keeps the ball down and lets
the defense make the plays behind him.
We havent had an error the last two
games and that gives you a chance in
every game.
The Cougars (17-2) advance to the
title game at 7 p.m. tonight versus the
Coldwater/Defiance victor.
Its all about location for me, hitting
the inside and outside corner. When
I fall behind, I usually have to take
something off and make sure I throw
a strike, Braun acknowledged. They
chased my curveball a few times and
that helped but its confidence in your
defense; I know they are going to make
plays behind me. The seniors have been
togetehr since we were 10 and to be
within a win of winning ACME State is
awesome.

PAULDING Former
Paulding baseball coach Joel
Parrett admits that he is having a difficult time dealing
with the passing of former
Panther baseball star Randall
Smith, not only because of
the sad loss of Smiths young
life, but because the former
star was also a teammate of
Zach Arend, whose life was
taken as a result of a Bluffton
College bus accident in
Atlanta several years ago.
Parrett noted that Smiths
father, Tracy Smith, was a
valuable asset of his coaching
staff during the time that both
Arend and Smith were on the
team.
Tracy and the staff
came together to help those
kids during those times (of
Arends accident), said
Parrett. Tracy did all he
could to help the kids through
that time. I think of how he
was there for all of those
kids; he was the strong one.
As soon as he heard of
what happened to Randall, he
left immediately, continued
Parrett. He has called me
twice since then. I feel so bad
for him and his family. He
was so concerned about the
Arends back in those days;
now he had to make the trip
on behalf of his own son.
Randall was doing all he
could to help his teammates
during that time, added
Parrett.
Celina
Arend was a year older

than Smith. He was a senior
on the Paulding team when
Arend played for Bluffton.
The seniors all took that
hard and Randall was there
for them. He wasnt always
that outspoken but he was

always a leader by example,
noted Parrett. Team members always knew that he was
around for them.
A year after Arends
life was snuffed out in that
Van Wert loaded the bases in the

sixth on a 1-out liner to left by Braun, a
hit-and-run blooper down the left-field
line by Jake Covey and a 2-out free pass
to Tussing. However, Carr flied out to
center to leave the scoreboard scoreless.
Kirk slapped the Bulldogs only hit
to left center to start the home sixth,
Kole Murlin bunted him up a base and
he went to third on Seth Lonsways
grounder to short.
VAN WERT 3, BELLEFONTAINE 1
COLDWATER It had been 27 years since

Van Wert had made the ACME Baseball Congress
State tournament.
The Cougars looked quite at home on a hot and
humid Saturday.
They rode the complete game of lefty Ryan
Stoller, solid defense and enough offense in subduing previously-unbeaten Bellefontaine 3-1 at
Veterans Field in Coldwater Memorial Park.
Stoller (118 pitches) was dominant for five
innings, strking out 10 of his 12 batters in that span
and giving up two of his four hits and walking two
of the five he issued for the game.
Tyler Jones was almost as good in his 72-pitch
complete game, yielding seven hits and three runs.
The first hit for the Chieftains was a 1-out
infield single by Andrew Mitchell in the top of
the first.
Van Wert challenged with two down in the
home half on a walked to Ryan McCracken and a
single to left by Caleb Fetzer.
Tommy Belser walked to lead off the
Bellefontaine (15-1) second but Zach Gilbert
bunted into a 1-6-3 double play.
The Cougars played small-ball to the max in
the home second. With two outs, Justice Tussing
was hit by a pitch, stole second and scored on a
single to right by Mason Carr. With Stoller at the
plate, Carr was caught stealing by catcher Gilbert.
Van Wert scored what turned out to be the
game-winner in the home third. Stoller legged
out an infield hit to short, advanced on a Nick
Smith suffered a career-ending injury and opted to go

into military service through
the Navy. Due to his steady
leadership abilities, Smiths
decision to go into the military greatly pleased Parrett.
Gutierrez sacrifice and scored on a 2-out blooper

to right by Fetzer; however, Fetzer was nabbed
trying to advance to second.
Jones had a 2-out liner in the visitor fourth.
Gilbert walked to lead off the Chieftain fifth
and advanced on a slow-rolling groundout to second by Javon Warner.
The Cougs tacked on an insurance run in the
fifth. Tussing got an infield hit on a grounder
that hit the second-base bag, moved up on a bunt
single by Carr that stopped on the first-base line
not far from home plate, kept going on a sac bunt
by Stoller and scored on a blooper to right by
Gutierrez. The latter stole second but a comebacker and a strikeout kept it a 3-0 lead.
A tiring Stoller ran into trouble as the temperature dropped 13 degrees the rest of the game
due to an approaching front that brought rain at
the end in the sixth. Johnny Ganson walked to
commence the frame, Mitchell singled to center
and Turner Scott walked to load them up. Ganson
scored on a slow roller to second by Jones but
Stoller fanned Belser and induced a lineout to
first baseman Lawson Blackmore to keep it a 3-1
scoreboard.
Warner started to top of the seventh with a seeing-eye single to left and stole second. An out later,
he was picked off base by Stoller and tagged out
at third. Tweh Coleman walked and with Ganson
facing a full count, Coleman was picked off base
and tagged out at second for the game-ending out.

Parrett said that Smith not

only brought a lot of pride
to his father but also to his
grandfather.
He came in and did his
job and did the best he could
to make his dad and grandpa
and family proud, as well as
making the school proud,
said Parrett. That goes to
being in the military and
serving his country and serving others.
He was one of our top
pitchers and was a good batter, continued Parrett.
I was pleased when I
heard he got into the military.
He had the qualities that were
needed to make the most of
what he was doing, added
Parrett. He fit in well with
their team.
Parrett said that no matter how much baseball he
has played or coached, there
was no way he could have
been prepared for news like
Smiths tragedy.
Im so proud of him.
He lived his life the way he
played the game of baseball,
Parrett said. Within the
past year, he stopped by the
school to see me on a couple
of occasions. It always means
so much when former players
stop by.
He was happy with his
life and loved his wife and
children. He was very happily married. We told each
other how much we meant
to each other. He was a great
example in all that he did. His
dad and grandpa played a big
part in that.

to Defiance College, not

Movie Review
Inside Out
Directed by Pete Doctor and

Ronaldo Del Carmen
PG
At some point or another,
every parent has wondered
whatif not what in the
worldhis or her kids were
thinking.
Pixar offers an answer
or at least some exuberantly
fanciful, wonderfully imaginative, wildly creative, richly
emotional speculationwith
Inside Out, which takes place
mostly inside the head of an
11-year-old girl, Riley.
Since Rileys birth, the five
emotions in the command center of her noggin have been
working together as she interacts with the world, sending
the proper signals down her
neural pathways, keeping her
safe and trying to make her
happyand storing away her
memories at the end of every
day in a vast memory bank.
The emotions are all characters themselves, with their
own (literally) colorful personalities: Perky, effervescent
yellow-glowing Joy (voiced
by Amy Poehler), the leader
of the cranial crew, is joined
by the geeky, purple all-phobic Fear (Bill Hader); blue,
depressed Sadness (Phyllis
Smith); prissy green young
maiden Disgust (Mindy Kaling); and blustery red hothead
Anger (Lewis Black).
When Rileys young life hits
some major growing-up turbulence, the emotions spring into
overdrive to help her through
it. But a snafu separates Joy
and Sadness from the rest
of the emotions, whooshing
them out of Rileys command
center and marooning them
in the deeper recesses of her
conscious and subconscious
Head Trip - Latest Pixar gem gets plenty of laughs but

also goes deep. Starring Amy Poehler, Bill Hader, Mindy
Kaling & Phyllis Smith
and leaving Fear, Anger and
Disgust to call the shots. Soon
things begin to fall apart, both
inside Rileys head and outside in the real world.
The magic and wonders
of Inside Out, steered by directors Pete Doctor (Up and
Monsters, Inc.) and Ronaldo
Del Carmen, are wide-ranging
as the inventive initial setup
expands to become a rollicking adventure for Joy and
Sadness, especially after they
encounter Rileys imaginary
childhood friend Bing Bong
(Richard Kind), whos part
elephant, part cotton-candy,
part cat, part dolphinand all
delight.
The brain, science tell us,
is one of the most complex
things in all of creation, and
the movies depiction of it is a
thing of ingenious splendor, a
mix of fantastically cartoonish
sight gags and sublime comedic riffs, all of them connected
to the emotional rollercoaster
ride being experienced by Rileyand, by extension, any
of us, at some time or another.
(There are some terrific side
trips, especially during the
credits, into the heads of oth-
Crossword Puzzle
"Errors"
er characters, where we meet

their emotions.)
Pixars best films, like Toy
Story, Up, Finding Nemo and
The Incredibles, have always
worked on double levels, entertaining kids and moving
grownupsoften to tears. The
exceptionally well-made Inside Out is no exception: Kids
and adults will both laugh, and
plenty. But the movies underlying themes about how Sadness and Joy work together
in more ways than one, and
how some memoriesand
parts of childhoodfade
away forever will resonate on
a profound, deeply moving
level with adults who can relate in ways that many younger viewers cantat least yet.
Settle in early for Lava, a
heartwarming,
all-musical
Pixar short about a Pacific volcano looking for love. Then
get ready for another Pixar
gem that starts in the head,
but ends up settling into somewhere much, much deeper.

266, the event is a draw, bringing in entire
families for the spectacle.
And thats important, the attendance of
these families, friends and neighbors; important to the church and its efforts and to the
community as a whole. Father Jerry remarked
that a significant part of the funding for
the churchs educational efforts, particularly
Thank you for serving for our country,

Randall Smith.
Payne residents Shane and Georgia
Dyson said that they hope that Smiths
family members will note the tremendous outpouring that follows the senseless act that took their son and realize
what a high regard that everyone has for
their fallen soldier.
Giving of ones life for your country
is the highest act of patriotism possible,
commented Georgia Dyson. We want
this family to know that their son is a
true patriot and his bravery and valor
are evident. He died defending freedom
for the country he loved so dear and we
feel so indebted to him for his extreme
sacrifice.
My husband, Tito, played cards
with Randalls dad, noted Katie Diaz.
When something like this happens with
people we connect with, it really brings
the ugliness of sacrifice to our small
town. In a small town, we discuss politics, war and major events at the coffee
shop, but rarely do these things actually
come into our town.
Every night at dinner we thank
the Lord for our soldiers who fight for
our freedom and that they will come
home safely, commented Mandy Lynn
Shelton, whose husband, Lester, is also
a former Paulding High School athlete.
I am disgusted to learn that our soldiers are banned from carrying weapons
while in military facilities. Had these
men been armed, Im sure that the
outcome would have been so much
different.
We will continue to remember all of
our soldiers in prayer, added Shelton.
It seems so much different when
it comes from our hometown, commented Joe Guyton. You read about
people giving their lives for our country,
but when it happens to someone who
comes from our own community, it really brings it home.
those directed at children, is generated at the

fest.
Even so, any money collected is just one
small aspect of the event and by far not the
greatest, according to the priest. Fun, he said,
is what the event is about; enjoying family
and community and appreciating the moment.
Everybody should enjoy themselves
and they do, Father Jerry said. Its important
that we have fun when we do what we do.
Do more with the equity in

your home.
Use the equity in your home to pay for more than just
projects around the house. Consolidate debt, pay for
education, buy a new car or plan a vacation with a home
equity loan or line of credit from First Financial Bank.
With an easy application process and competitive rates its a great solution to pay for the things you need, when
you need them.

Subsequent negotiations with ODOT resulted in a compromise. The State agreed to permit the reopening of the road if they
could place barrels and orange fencing around the site to serve as
a warning to those using the road. Heavy equipment was moved
and ODOT marked off the area, permitting the reopening of the
road in the early afternoon.
Smith then informed council that the villages engineering
firm, Poggemeier Design Group, queried the Ohio Public Works
Commission as to the availability of emergency funding to help
pay for the repairs, then prepared a request for such funding.
Were hoping to get it fixed as soon as we can, Smith said.
Were just going to have to wait for a little better weather and
then wait to see if OPWC has anything that will help us.
Council also announced an effort to clean the villages park.
Volunteers are requested to assist with the effort, scheduled to
commence Thursday evening at 6 p.m. Smith suggested that
anyone interested in participating should dress appropriately
and wear insect repellent as mosquitoes have bred unchecked in
standing pools in the park.
In other business, council:
approved the hiring of Michael Slater as a part-time patrolman for the village. Slater has worked with the police department
as an auxiliary for the past four years.
awarded an OPWC grant in the amount of $32,750 to Ward

The next meeting of the Fort Jennings Village Council is
scheduled for Aug. 18 at 7:30 p.m.
Match

Its my understanding
that you fill out a bunch of
paperwork, send it in ASAP,
and a team of people will
go over it, giving you a call
back letting you know if you
are a potential match or not,
Byrne said. If you are, there
is further testing. However,
I believe it is simply blood
work and a physical.
In many cases, as with
Byrnes, her medical insurance will cover all medical
costs associated with any
potential procedure, including
pre-op, operative and post-op
concerns.
For Byrne, the possibility
exists that her brother, Josh,
will serve as her match; they
were a successful match in
2007. The changes her body
has gone through, however,
make it far short of a sure
thing and Josh will have to
resubmit the same paperwork
as an absolute stranger.
But even if Josh were her
perfect match, Byrne asserted, even if they knew right
here and now that they need

Other local vendors participating are C &
Js Shaved Ice, Gibsons Barnyard BBQ and
Sycamore Ice Cream. Emmanuel Lutheran
Church will be operating the soft drinks and
water concession. With the addition of our new
vendors those attending will find a huge selection
of great food, Lee said, Everything from ribs,
brisket, chicken, pulled pork, and turkey legs to
French fries, funnel cakes, steamed buttery cornon-the-cob, sweet potato fries, bloomin onions,
elephant ears and Irish nachos to ice cream and
strawberry shortcake. Jubilee Winery will be
doing wine sampling and offering such things as
wine slushies. There will definitely be something
for everyone!
And if your aim for the day is fun, Rib Fest
will have plenty of games to fit the bill. A corn
hole tournament, a youth Wiffle ball tournament,
the annual pig races sponsored by the YWCA
of Van Wert County. Also on Saturday, its the
return of When Pigs Fly to Rib Fest. The United
Way of Van Wert County is selling piglets. The
porkers will take to the air at 7:15 Saturday
evening.

look no further, she would

still call out to friends and
family and absolute strangers.
Because shes not alone, not
the only person in need, and
a donor network exists that
increases the odds of finding
a match for everyone going
without, living on the edge
of dying. She understands the
desperation of every single
one of those 80,000 plus people hoping beyond hope for a
new lease on life.
And she wants to help.
I want to serve as an
advocate for all of these people who are suffering, she
said. If people only undertood how simple this is, how
easily they can help. Thats
what I want to do. Help them
understand how much they
can do for all of us.

weightless environment.

dates back to 1844.
