DELPHOS In April1979, Chuck German decidedit was time to fol-low in the footstepsof the men in hisfamily by joiningthe local fire depart-ment.

My dad wasa volunteer for 20years and my unclefor 27 or more, hesaid. It just seemedlike the right thingto do, you know;it was a familything. All together, we hadsomewhere between 75 and200 years of family service,with my dad and uncle andmy dads cousins and theiruncle. Now my son, Scott, isinvolved as well.

After 31 years in thedepartment, German decidedto leave because the timing

felt right.Well, like the old-timers

always say, when its time toretire youll know and theyreright, he said. Im getting to

the point where Icant be getting upin the middle of thenight in the dead of winter to fight fires,get wet and freeze.Thats one thing Iwont miss. Noneof us want to get upat 2 a.m. when its20 degrees belowand put on our turn-out gear, which is

always cold becauseits kept out in our trucks.Were there to help peopleand I think a lot of peopletake that for granted becausethey think were just doingwhat their taxes pay for butwe dont get paid much at all.Its a dangerous professionand I know there were severaltimes I couldve been killed.

While he has retired fromthe department, German stillretains his work with St.Ritas Medical Center.

Ive been at St. Ritasfor about 21 years now, hesaid. I repair medical equip-ment and things like that forthem.

Despite the hardship thatcan come with fighting fires,German didnt retire withoutknowing he would miss somethings.

The thing Ill miss themost is the guys. This ismore than an organization,German added. Its a broth-erhood. If you go to any townor city in the U.S. or even upto Canada and you go to thefire department and let themknow youre a firefighter,they just open up to you likeyoure part of a big family.

And the community hasalways been very supportive.Its been a wonderful bunchof years serving.

Regionalized firefightingred hot topic in Ohio

By MIKE [email protected]

Economic challenges areexpected to shape much of lifein Ohio as 2011 progresses.Funding issues impact manythings, including firefighting.

One service leader thinksdepartments around the statewill look at restructuring fire-fighting in a fundamental wayto save money. Regionalizationinvolves departments closing,pooling resources and servinglarger areas.

Regionalization depends onthe area and type of department whether full-time or volun-teer. There could be some costsavings with it and overlap canbe addressed if you have onefire department with a stationonly a mile from another fire

department because jurisdictionsare so close, Ohio Fire Chief Association President BernieIngles said. They could shareequipment and there could bebetter response time if you havetwo stations close together thatcooperate or consolidate underregional restructuring. However,response time could be slowerif restructuring isnt part of theregionalization and stations haveto cover a larger territory.

Communities tend to main-tain their own fire department.When blazes break out, resi-dents want a quick response byqualified personnel. This takesmoney but many villages andtownships dont have the eco-nomic engine to power theirown paid firefighting force.Therefore, creating fire dis-tricts can be a viable solution

for some.However, regionalization

is not forecasted to occur inthe Tri-County for two rea-sons. One is distance betweendepartments and the other isconcern over response time.

For Delphos, regionalizingfire service isnt likely to bean issue. We are about 8-10miles from the nearest otherdepartment, which is AmericanTownship. We like having ourequipment to ourselves and wewant to protect our citizens. Todo that, we have to maintain ourown fire department. In Allenand Van Wert counties, depart-ments are just too far apartfor it, Delphos Safety ServiceDirector Greg Berquist said.

In southwest PutnamCounty, Ottoville and FortJennings residents are served

by volunteers. The communi-ties cannot afford to pay fire-fighters but regionalization isnot expected. Though thoughtto come with cost savings,restructuring is being avoid-ed because of federal grants,according to Fort JenningsVolunteer Fire DepartmentChief Jim Gerdeman.

Regionalization will notbe needed here anytime soon;by that, I mean the next 10-15years. The departments on thewest side of Putnam Countyare well-staffed. Were well-trained and well-equipped, hesaid. Weve received FederalEmergency ManagementAgency grants for equipmentin the last five or six years andwe got a truck from that. Weredoing fine because of thesethings; weve had good luck

with fire levies and retainingfirefighters and keeping themtrained. I think regionalizationwould slow response time.It simply takes time to get afire truck moving, especiallyin inclement weather. I thinkcommunities would resistregionalizing because of that.

Nonetheless, dramaticchange could be felt in theBuckeye State. Ingles is thechief in Westerville and hasseen it happen before.

There are some districts inOhio that have moved towardcreating fire districts, wherethey contract with other town-ships or small villages to pro-vide fire service as a cost-sav-ing measure. We have had ithappen and its always beingtalked about. There are town-ships in Knox County that have

done it and something similarrecently took place between theCity of Toledo and the Villageof Ottawa Hills, he said.

The OHFD closed this weekas its staff and station becamepart of the Toledo department.The respective mayors hadconducted talks which endedwith the village deciding tocontract with the city for theforeseeable future. Inglesbelieves this relationship couldserve as a model for the state asmunicipalities scramble to stayfinancially afloat.

This is going to be a bigtopic for fire service in Ohiothis year, especially with thenew governor and legislaturetrying to increase efficiency instate and local government. Ithink regionalization will be ahot topic for all of us, he said.

Many of our pets have a short layer of fur and dont dowell in colder temperatures. A sweater or coat is helpful foroutdoor trips.

If its cold for you, itscold for dogs and catsBY MIKE FORD

[email protected]

DELPHOS Becausesome people treat pets aslivestock, many dogs andcats are left outside duringwinter. One local expert saiddogs shed their coat in Fallto replace it with a thickercoat for the coldest months.Retaining body heat is keyto surviving the cold and if owners wont bring themindoors, dogs and cats needsome way to get away fromwind, snow, sleet, ice andthe rest of Old Man Wintersbattering.

Dogs and cats need sometype of enclosure so they canget out of the wind and ele-ments. Even in a doghouse, if the door isnt facing into thewind, they can generate morebody heat if they have strawand a blanket, said Dr. AprilShattuck of Delphos AnimalHospital.

Cats are pretty resilientbut they still need to get outof the wind and elements.Unfortunately, their favoriteplace to go is into the enginearea of cars. Unfortunately,we see a lot of injuries anddeaths that take place in themorning when people startup their cars.

This can be avoided byresidents banging loudly onvehicles before starting theengine.

Outdoor pets must havemore food to replace thecalories burned in producingextra body heat. Water tendsto freeze, so owners must bediligent. If animals cannotquench their thirst, the sweet

allure of antifreeze can attractand kill ones furry friends.Like coolant, antifreeze is alethal poison for dogs andcats. Owners should makesure to thoroughly clean upany spills around vehiclesand consider using productsthat contain propylene glycolrather than ethylene glycol.

Water will freeze, espe-cially overnight, and dogsand cats can dehydrate.Some bowls are heated but

dog owners need to watchfor electrical shorts becauseif dogs get shocked whentrying to drink, they simplywont drink and will becomedehydrated. They also needmore food so they can packon more pounds for the extrabody heat they need to gener-ate to stay warm. They put ona thicker coat for winter butare still at risk of frostbiteon their ears and paws, shesaid.

Even inside dogs needwinter-related care. Ownersshould wipe off a dogs legsand stomach when they comein out of the sleet, snow orice. Animals can ingest salt,antifreeze or other poten-tially-dangerous chemicalswhile licking their paws.Also, puppies may not toler-ate the cold as well as adultdogs and may be difficult tohousebreak during the win-ter. If ones puppy appears tobe sensitive to the weather,owners may opt to paper-train him inside, take himoutdoors only to relieve him-self and maybe even fit thefour-legged rock star with asweater.

Beining hangs up his axeBy STACY TAFF

[email protected]

DELPHOS In October2010, Larry Beining retiredfrom the Delphos Fire andRescue but he doesnt con-sider it retirement.

In order to beretired, you haveto quit work-ing altogether,he said. I justdont work withthe fire depart-ment anymore.Im still workingin construction. Iwas with the firedepartment for 35years and now I

just dont do thatanymore.

Beining says he got start-ed firefighting because hisschedule and the needs of the department matched up.

Years back, I was alwaysavailable during the day,he said. Back then, theywere always looking for daypeople, so thats how I gotin there. I never thought Id

be with the department thislong but thats always theway.

As for why he left,Beining says its just notideal for him to get out of bed in the middle of the

night anymore.Its just get-

ting harder, hesaid. Having toget up out of bedand go fight fires,especially whenits like this withthe weather socold.

After servingthe department for35 years, Beiningcan state with cer-tainty that he will

miss his fellow firefightersmore than anything else.

Ill miss the people. Youmeet a lot of good people inthis line of work, he added.I mean theyre not here forthe money, thats for sure.These are people who give alot of their free time to keepthe people of the communitysafe.

Often we think people know what wemean when nothing could be further thanthe truth.

In the newspaper business, a goodreporter checks their facts with reputablesources. In other instances, we rely on whatwe hope are dependable, honest and accurate

accounts from the public.In some cases, facts cant be checked sothey are omitted. The last thing a reporterwants is to have inaccuracies in their story.It makes the reader question the integrity of the piece and perhaps, their whole body of work.

There are times when someone willprovide inaccurate information and it findsits way into print because the person isbelieved to be credible. Sorry, it happens.

A lot of what is published in The Heraldcomes from you, the reader. Meeting minutes,photos, etc. come in to the newsroom all thetime. We take them as accurate because theyare submitted by the secretary or anotherofficer of the club or organization who wasat the meeting or gathering. Who should

know better what went on?The most important aspect of these itemsis a contact for the sender. E-mails can bereplied to; things dropped off in person canbe questioned at the time; news deliveredby mail usually has a return address to startthe query process if needed. Most items aresigned, as they should be.

Then there are the silent drop-offs in themail slot that often contain at least a name if a question arises.

The final animal is the anonymous letter,note or voice mail. We will try to find anadditional source confirming or denying theinformation but if we cant, nothing will be

done.Would you give much attention to a

letter that arrives in the mail that has noreturn address and is unsigned? Do you givecredence to phone messages that have avoice you dont recognize and dont identifythe sender?

How many of you screen your homephone calls? I often dont pick up for a notprovided or out of area call becauseI have a list in my head of people whosenames or numbers will appear that I wantto talk to.

The same goes for unsigned letters andcorrespondence, phantom voice mails fromunidentified persons and little slips of paperwith items I cannot confirm.

When I get an unsigned Letter to theEditor, I often dont even read it. It goesstraight in the trash. If you didnt feelpassionately enough about it to sign it, Idont feel passionately about it enough toread it and neither will anyone else.

We at The Herald want to provideaccurate, detailed information to the public.If something is wrong, please let us knowbut also let us know who you are and howwe can get in touch with you so you can tellus how it should be, not just that its wrong.

Just one month into win-ter, major cities up and downthe East Coast have alreadygotten clobbered with moresnow than they usually getall season, a one-storm-after-another barrage that is eatingup snow-removal budgetsand forcing schools to close.

And officially, winter stillhas two months left.

A new half-foot of snowtested the patience of residentsin the Hartford area Friday,complicating a morning com-mute already made arduousby mountainous snowbanks

that have not melted since arecord-setting snowfall lastweek. Forecasters are callingfor below-zero temperaturesin New England over theweekend, followed perhaps

by another big snowstormalong the East Coast, maybeeven a blizzard.

HOUSTON She heardthem, smiled, and tears welledup in her eyes.

The caravan carrying Rep.Gabrielle Giffords swept pastcheering crowds Friday as sheleft the hospital in Tucson,Ariz., where she dazzled doc-tors with her recovery frombeing shot in the head twoweeks ago, and was moved toHouston for rehabilitation.

Children sat on their par-ents shoulders as the motor-cade passed. Many waved.Others carried signs wishingGabby well.

It was very emotionaland very special, said Dr.Randall Friese, who traveledwith Giffords.

By Friday afternoon, aftera 930-plus-mile trip that doc-tors said went flawlessly,Giffords was in an intensivecare unit at Texas MedicalCenter, where a new team of doctors planned to start hertherapy immediately.

After several days of evaluation, she will be sentto the centers rehabilitationhospital, TIRR MemorialHermann.

Giffords has great reha-bilitation potential, said Dr.Gerardo Francisco, chief medical officer of MemorialHermann.

She will keep us busy,and we will keep her busy aswell, he said.

The first thing is to deter-mine the extent of Giffordsinjuries and the impact on herabilities to move and com-municate. She hasnt spokenyet, and its unknown whethershe will suffer permanent dis-abilities.

A gunman shot Giffordsand 18 other people on Jan.8 as she met with constitu-ents outside a grocery store inTucson. Six people died. Thesuspect in the attack, JaredLoughner, 22, is being held infederal custody.

Since she was hospitalizedat University Medical Centerin Tucson, Giffords has madeprogress nearly every day,with characteristically cau-tious surgeons calling herimprovement remarkable.

Each new press conferenceseemingly yields a few moredetails about the Giffords thather family knows.

Tracy Culbert, a nurse whoaccompanied Giffords and thecongresswomans husband,Houston-based astronaut MarkKelly, on the flight, describedher as being captivated by aring on Culberts finger. Thenurse took it off and Giffordsput it on her own hand.

She was taking it off myhand and I asked if she want-ed to see it, Culbert said.

Asked how she felt aboutleaving Giffords on Fridayto return to Arizona, Culbertreplied, Do you want me tocry?

Shes a very gentle per-son, Culbert said, and herpersonality is coming outwith her touches, the way shetouches us, the way she looksat us, and I am very lucky toknow her.

Then, she added: I have alot of hope for her, and I knowshes going to do great.

Doctors said Giffords willstay in the intensive care unitfor now because she has adrain to remove fluid buildupin her brain.

WASHINGTON U.S.Department of Health andHuman Services SecretaryKathleen Sebelius hasannounced 127,159 Medicarebeneficiaries in Ohio, andthree million people nation-wide, have received prescrip-tion drug cost relief throughthe Affordable Care Act. Todate, three million eligiblebeneficiaries who fell into thedrug coverage gap known asthe donut hole during 2010have been mailed a one-time,tax-free $250 rebate check.

For too long, many seniorsand people with disabilitieshave been forced to makeimpossible choices betweenpaying for needed prescrip-tion medication and neces-sities like food and rent,said Secretary Sebelius. TheAffordable Care Act offerslong overdue relief by lower-ing prescription drug costseach year until the donut holeis closed.

Eligible beneficiaries whofell into the coverage gapduring 2010 are continu-ing to automatically receiverebate checks. These checksare only the first step in how

the Affordable Care Act willreduce prescription drug costsfor beneficiaries in the donuthole each year until it isclosed in 2020. Starting thisyear, eligible beneficiaries inthe coverage gap will receivea 50-percent discount on cov-ered brand name medicationswhile in the donut hole. Inaddition, in 2011 Medicarewill begin paying 7-percentof the price for generic drugsduring the coverage gap.

Also Thursday, SecretarySebelius released a new videomessage on the new benefitsthe Affordable Care Act pro-vides in 2011 for people on

Medicare. You can watch thevideo message here.The closing of the donut

hole is just one of the waysseniors benefit from theAffordable Care Act. In addi-tion to savings on prescription

drugs, the law provides newbenefits to Medicare benefi-ciaries when they visit theirdoctor starting this year:

As of Jan. 1, OriginalMedicare no longer chargesout-of-pocket costs for theWelcome to Medicarephysical exam and, for thefirst time since the Medicareprogram was created in 1965,Original Medicare now cov-ers an annual wellness visitwith a participating doctor,also at no cost. In addition tothese annual wellness visits,

most people with Medicarecan now receive critical pre-ventive services, includingcertain cancer screeningssuch as mammograms andcolonoscopies, for free.

Also this year, theAffordable Care Act willprovide qualifying doctorsand other health care pro-fessionals providing primarycare to people on Medicare a10-percent bonus for primarycare services. This will helpensure that those primary careproviders can continue to bethere for Medicare patients.

next 10 years. Savings willbe even higher as muchas $12,300 over the next10 years for seniors andpeople with disabilities whohave high prescription drugcosts. Total savings per ben-eficiary enrolled in traditionalMedicare are estimated to be$86 in 2011, rising to $649 in2020.

Dear Annie : A few yearsago, my husband and I hadsome problems and we sepa-rated. My parents were won-derfully supportive at thetime, but when I decided toreturn to my mar-riage, they insistedmy husband apol-ogize to them. Herefused, saying heonly owed apolo-gies to me and thechildren, and evenif he did apologizeto my parents, itwouldnt changetheir feelingstoward him. I tendto agree with him.They have had arocky relationship since wewere engaged.

My parents have nowdecided that my husband isnot welcome in their home if he doesnt apologize. That istheir choice. My husband ispretty good about letting metake the kids to see my folkswithout him. The problem isalways during the holidays.

My husband and I eachhave children from previousrelationships, and they needto see those sets of parentsand grandparents on the hol-idays, too. My mom, no mat-ter what, is never happy withhow I divide my time. I amtired of being told, It wouldbe nice if you would eat hereonce in awhile, or Whycant you stay longer?

I have told my mother thatI am doing the best I can, butwill not leave my husbandto eat holiday meals alone.

That isnt good enough. Shecomplains that all she getsare the leftovers of myday.

Christmas was difficultlast year. How can I get

Mom to understandthat I can only be inso many places ata time? I am tiredof the guilt trips.What can I do shortof telling her thatwe wont come atall? -- Not LookingForward to Easter

Dear Not : Yourmother understandsperfectly, but she isselfish. She wantsall of your time and

doesnt care how hard it isfor you or how unfair it isto others. Stop explainingyour reasons, and learn toignore her complaints. Giveher whatever time you canmanage, and if she doesnt

like it, too bad.Dear Annie : I cant

help commenting on theletter from Confused inCalifornia, who asked whatto call people who are sepa-rated but not divorced.

I suggest we invent theword detachee for womenand detache for men whoare separated from theirspouses. We should allagree that this word refersto someone in the processof detaching him or herself from a marriage. We cangive the term a bit of Frenchflair by pronouncing it day-tah-shay, the way we dofiancee. Theres nothingwrong with inventing a wordas long as we all agree onwhat it means. -- G.F.

Dear G.F.: We like it!Read on for a few more sug-gestions:

From the East Coast: For20 years, I lived in New York

City, where the Draconiandivorce laws kept many peo-ple together long after themarriage was over -- dead,but not buried, as I used tosay. We called them TheTerminally Separated.

Louisiana: Confused inCalifornia should simplyrefer to himself as married.He should call his wife, whoisnt living with him any-more, his wife. Those sta-tuses do not change becauseof the living arrangements.If he meets someone withwhom he wants to pursuea relationship, then he canexplain the dynamics of hismarital relationship.

California: My husbandand I have been separatedfor six years, and I, too,struggled with what to callhim. I now refer to him asmy was-band, which oftengets a laugh and is easilyunderstood.

CINCINNATI (AP) A federal appeals court willmake the next decision in astill-disputed juvenile court

judge election in southwestOhio.

Lawyers for HamiltonCounty and Republican JohnWilliams are contesting a fed-eral judges ruling that about150 disputed ballots shouldbe counted before the winneris declared. The ballots wereexcluded because they werecast at the wrong precincts, butthe judge said they shoud becounted because they appar-ently were miscast because of poll worker errors.

A three-judge panel of the6th U.S. Court of Appealsheard arguments Thursdayevening about the Nov. 2election, whose results gaveWilliams a 23-vote victory.

The Cincinnati Enquirer

reports that lawyers forDemocrat Tracie Hunter saythe government must inves-tigate any mistake that coulddisenfranchise voters.

There needs to be a mean-ingful investigation here, saidattorney Jennifer Branch.

Mistakes happen.Elections arent perfect, saidDave Stevenson, attorney forthe countys board of elec-tions. Mistakes just dont riseto a constitutional level.

The case has potentialimplications for future Ohioelections beyond the juvenile

judge race because it raisesthe question of whether stateelection laws adequately pro-

tect the constitutional rightsof voters.

In order for Ohios rural

cities and small towns to con-tribute fully to the nationseconomic recovery, we mustenable small, mainstreetbusinesses to build a bet-ter future for themselves,their community, state andnation.

Representative Ron Kind(D-WI) and RepresentativeWally Herger (R-CA) haveintroduced legislation todo just that. Their RuralMicrobusiness Investment

Credit Act (HR 5990) isthe first federal tax creditdesigned to meet the needsof small business in ruralareas. It would providea 35% tax credit - up to$10,000 - to start or expandowner-operated businesseswith five or fewer employ -ees.

In rural America, creat-ing your own job is a wayof life. During recession,the reluctance of large busi -

nesses to add workers makessmall businesses and self-employment even moreimportant. During the 2000-2003 recession, microenter-prise employment in Ohiogrew by five percent, whilelarger firms were still shed -ding jobs. Microenterpriseled the economy out of reces -sion. It can happen again,but entrepreneurs need anddeserve the support of fed -eral policy as much as largerbusinesses.

The rural micro tax creditis tailor made to encour-age microenterprise invest -

ment during recession.Qualifying businesses couldreceive refunds on prioryear returns if they are notmaking enough in the cur -rent year to owe taxes, whichis critical during tough timesor during startup when mostare lucky to break even. Arefund of prior years taxesis an investment incentivethat works in good years andbad, for new or establishedbusinesses.

Fort Jennings has one of the most beautiful and statelywar memorials to be foundin Northwest Ohio. MemorialHall rests majestically on ahill between the AuglaizeRiver and Water Street in theheart of town. State Highways189 and 190 intersect right infront of the hall. The commu -

nity park lies right across theriver with a foot bridge mak -ing the connection. It wouldbe ideal to have a park benchor two behind the hall whereresidents could sit and observenature along the river.

A small cemetery was oncelocated on the same property.Was this where those 12 bravesoldiers of the War of 1812were buried? They did not diein battle with the British orthe Indians. They died in thebattle with the Great BlackSwamp. They succumbed toswamp fever.

These troops, led byColonel Williams Jennings

Jr., opened up this territoryto settlement. The fort wassituated on Anthony Waynestrail which followed theAuglaize from Fort Amandato Defiance. The canal didntcome through this area until1845.

Fort Jennings has the pres-tige of being one of the old -est permanent settlements inNorthwest Ohio

Our ninth United StatesPresident once slept here. Hewas William Henry Harrison,who stayed overnight with3,000 U. S. soldiers ontheir way to battle along theMaumee.

How many of you dancedthe night away at a weddingreception at the old MemorialHall? For years it hosted par-ties, dances, visits with Santaand the like, but do you reallyknow the story of how it cameto be. The buildings socialrole in the community isdwarfed by its often forgottensignificance as a memorial toheroes and fallen soldiers.

To understand theMemorial Halls origin, youhave to go back in time toa land of swampland andIndians. It may be difficultto think of Putnam County asa military stronghold but therole of our region in maintain -ing the freedom of a fledg -ing United States is an oftenuntold story.

On 9 January 1771,William Jennings Jr. wasborn in Virginia. Both hisgrandfathers, his father andseveral uncles had served val -iantly in the RevolutionaryWar and William JenningsJr. continued in this fami -lys strong military tradition,

joining the U. S. Militia atage 19. He was wounded inat least two battles involv -ing skirmishes with Indians,both under General AnthonyWayne, once in Fort Wayneand again at Fort Recovery.

Under General WilliamHenry Harrison, he foughtin the Battle of Tippecanoeand his bravery and abil -ity to stand out as a leaderamong soldiers resulted inadvancement through theranks. By 1812, WilliamJennings, Jr. had achieved therank of Lieutenant Coloneland was put in command of the Second Regiment of theKentucky Militia. Thesetroops mustered into the armyin Frankfort, Ky., and rendez -voused at Cincinnati before

joining General WilliamHenry Harrisons army atFort Barbee in St. Marys. On21 September 1812, Lt. Col.Jennings was ordered to pro-ceed down the Auglaize Riverto establish an intermediatepost between St. Marys andFort Defiance. Advancingabout 30 miles, Lt. Col.Jennings saw signs of Indiansand had spies who reportedenemy activity at Defiance.He halted on the banks of the Auglaize River and beganbuilding block houses andwith that, Fort Jennings cameto be.

The fort served as aninvaluable stronghold dur -ing the war of 1812. On 1October 1812, GeneralHarrison himself had severalregiments of approximately3,000 men spend the nightat Fort Jennings as they wereadvancing to assist troops atFort Defiance. Rememberthat General Harrison laterbecame the ninth President of the United States.

General Harrison alwaysfelt Fort Jennings was a vitalsupply line for housing sup -

plies and soldiers advancingalong the Maumee River.In October 1812, General

Harrison wrote the UnitedStates Secretary of War:There ought also to be atFort Jennings on the Auglaize30,000 to 40,000 rations. A

ration was one days food

supply for one man.In 1813, General Harrisonwrote, There are upon theAuglaize and St. MarysRivers eight forts which con -tain within their walls, prop-erty to the amount of half amillion dollars

At the end of March 1813,Lt. Col. Jennings and histroops returned to Kentucky,their six-month tour of dutycompleted. The sturdy for -tress constructed under thedirection of Lt. Col. Jenningshad served the war departmentwell. Fort Jennings remainedin use until the war endedin December 1814, occupiednow by Ohio militiamen whohad replaced the KentuckyMilitia there.

Fast forward to 1912.There is no formal accountof the centennial celebra -tion for the town that nowbears the name of Lt. Col.Jennings but in the year fol -lowing, Jennings Townshipand the Fort Jennings VillageCouncil minutes identify theformation of a committeeto investigate the construc -tion of a fitting memorial toLt. Colonel Jennings. As a

twice wounded veteran of 14years service to the Americanarmed forces, his contributionto local and national historywas worthy of something spe -cial. After all, it was Lt. Col.Jennings vision that placedthe first white settlement inPutnam County and by hishand, the outpost built herehad helped to preserve thou -sands of lives and freedomfor a still developing UnitedStates. Lt. Col. Jennings fortwas a safe house for countlesstroops right here in Putnam

County, including one futurepresident of the United States,William Henry Harrison.

As the discussion pro-gressed on how to best honorLt. Colonel Jennings, otherprominent people in the coun-ty came forward in support of a

large and grand war memorial

for Lt. Col. Jennings and hissoldiers who served and diedhere on Putnam County soil.In 1911, State RepresentativeJohn Cowan from PutnamCounty introduced a bill intothe Ohio House for funds toerect at Fort Jennings, Ohio, amonument to the memory of Lt. Col. William Jennings.Four thousand dollars wasappropriated to the projectand a site was selected andobtained to purposely serveas a memorial to the War of 1812.

The Jennings Memorialwas the result of township,village and state fundraisingof enormous proportions.The 80x46 monument wasdesigned by architect W. B.Helmkamp of Akron and con -structed by Newton Rozelleof Delphos. The architecturalstyle would be a unique rep -resentation of the Arts andCrafts Movement and fourtowering chimneys would riselike blockhouses from eachcorner of the fort-inspiredstructure. Construction wasstarted in 1916. It was com -pleted in time to hold highschool graduation exercises

in 1917.A portion of the Jennings

Memorial Hall was designat -ed as a Relic Room whereWar of 1812 artifacts, othermilitary items, Indian artifactsand objects of historical rel -evance could be kept and dis -played. A plaque in the vesti -bule was contracted throughI. S. Tyler Co. of Clevelandto read This Memorial isdedicated to the honor of Col.William Jennings and his sol-diers who fought and diedhere in the War of 1812.

One of the earliest func -tions of the hall was fittinglyto welcome home soldiers of World War I in a large recep-tion there. What followedwas years of service to thecommunity for clubs, groups,private parties and who could

forget the countless weddings

held in the hall. The wallsstill echo with the music of bands, the laughter of jokesand the likely aroma of count -less kegs sitting in the cornerof the banquet room. Im notsure what Colonel Jenningswould have thought of allthese activities but surely hewould have been proud withwhat this little communitydid to honor his name andservice to our country.

Fast forward to the present.Just this week, the JenningsTownship Trustees grantedapproval to the Fort JenningsHistorical Society to beginthe first phase of a renovationproject for the memorial. Thework on is being done with -out any public funding andwill start in February.

If you visit the FortJennings BicentennialCelebration in August 2012,you cant miss the big build-ing that honors a big manin Putnam County History.The hall will also stand asa memorial to all the otherbrave men and women whohave served and are still serv -ing our country.

Now you know the story.

Ahhh. Were approach-ing the end of January. Doesthat mean we can legitimatelybegin to think that Springmight be just around the cor-ner? The temperatures and

the crunchiness of the snowon the ground outside surelydont indicate that its any-where near but still we shouldremain optimistic. I havenoticed that it is stayinglighter just a little bit longereach day, so thats a definitestep in the right direction.And I picked up some paintsamples the other day to tapeto the wall to see what weall like the best so that whenthe mood is right, Im thenready to do some Springspruce up in the house.

Speaking of Spring, theThrift Shop will be havingits annual end-of-winter sales

events so they can makethe switch to their beauti-ful spring apparel and cheer-ful decorations. The big saledates to keep in mind will bethe Buy-One-Get-One-Freesale Feb. 10-12 and the huge25 Cent Sale Feb. 17-19.Dont miss your chance topick up some great buys.

Another thing to keep inmind: its getting time to pickout that special prom dress.Be sure to check out our veryaffordable, wide selectionthat will be put out on displaysoon. Were very apprecia-tive of the beautiful dresses

that continue to be donated.Were also thankful forthe many volunteers whohelp to keep the Thrift Shopand its different departmentsrunning so smoothly. Didyou know it takes 44 vol-unteers just to run the cashregisters and bag the pur-chases each month? Thatsa lot of calling to line thosevolunteers up! If youd liketo help, stop in or give theThrift Shop a call at 419-692-2942. Or maybe youd ratherhelp sort the items that havebeen donated.

ets, drawers, and the kitchencabinets, keep the Thrift Shopin mind. Our drop box doorfor donations is located onthe First Street side at the rearof the building. If it happensto be full, please do not leaveyour donation on the side-walk, as what would havebeen some very nice dona-tions could end up destroyedby the weather.

MARIA STEIN For thesecond game in a row, St.Johns could not hold a leadin the fourth period.

For the second game ina row, it came up and bitthem as the Blue Jays lost43-40 in double-overtime toMarion Local Friday night inMidwest Athletic Conferenceaction in The Hangar atMaria Stein.

The loss dropped the Jays(3-7, 3-1 MAC) into a 3-waytie atop the league.

The teams needed an extraeight minutes to decide a rela-tively close matchup all theway.

In the second overtime,tied at 39, as they did inthe first, the Flyers (5-4, 2-2MAC) scored first as 6-7senior Jesse Winner (8 points,7 boards, 4 blocks) laid one in

just 45 ticks into it. The Jaysmisfired and the Flyers beganto milk the clock after gather-ing the rebound and forcedthe Jays to foul. As it was allnight, the charity stripe wasanything but charitable to thehosts as they missed six freethrows (they went 9-of-24overall for 37.5% versus theJays 2-of-3 for 66.7%) but theJays could not answer, miss-ing a pair of triples. The Jaysmissed another bomb and onthe rebound, the Flyers gota 2-on-1 layup from RyanMescher (12 markers) withseven ticks left for a 4-pointlead. The Jays Curtis Geise(12 counters, 3 treys) wasfouled in the act of shootingwith one second left. He hitthe first and after a Mariontimeout, intentionally missedthe second but it did not hitthe rim, giving the hoststhe orb out of bounds. Theyturned it over on the inboundplay with half a second leftnear the Blue Jay bench.Senior Jordan Leininger gotthe ball near mid-court andfired a shot that hit the frontof the rim and fell away astime expired.

This was a tough andvery disappointing loss. Thisis two games in a row likethat we couldnt hold a leadand find a way to win, St.Johns coach Aaron Elwernoted. We put ourselves theewith a chance to win but werepeated mistakes we havemade earlier with taking badshots. I can think of four pos-sessions where we took total-ly unnecessary shots. Rightnow, we have to learn fromour previous mistakes.

In the first overtime,Winner again broke a 34-34tie with a layin to draw firstblood but Geise gave the Jaysthe lead with a 3-ball 30 tickslater. Alex Rosenbeck hit abaste and 1-of-2 free throwsin the next 1:41 to put thehosts up 39-37. However, hemissed two throws five sec-onds later and the Jays got theboard. However, the gueststurned it over (13 for thegame versus 16 for the hometeam) and with time windingdown and down by two, theJays needed a miracle. Geiseprovided it; he picked thepocket of a Flyer near mid-court and went the distancefor a tying layup with 17 tickson the clock. The FlyersCraig Niekamp airballed alane jumper as time expiredto force a second extra ses-sion.

The Jays led 29-22 enter-ing the fourth period hold-ing the same margin in lastSaturdays 2-point loss toShawnee and the offensedisappeared against the Flyerman-to-man. The guests man-aged a basket by senior Derek

Klaus (he fouled out later)and a triple by Alex Recker(13 counters with 3 trios, 10boards) with 1:17 left to givethem a 34-32 lead. Meschertied the game with two sin-gles with 1:00 left. The Jaysran the clock down but turnedit over with 8.3 seconds to go.Rosenbeck was fouled in theact of shooting with 4.4 ticksto go but missed both triesand the Jays couldnt get ashot off to force overtime.

These two teams havebecome known for theirtough, hard-fought defen-sive battles and this was noexception. The Jays had thebetter of the first period, get-ting out to a 12-6 edge ona Leininger power layin at1:10 but Niekamp drove for adeuce with two ticks to go fora 12-8 scoreboard.

Marino turned it aroundin the second period, thoughit wasnt easy. They tied it17-17 on a drive by Niekampwith 1:44 on the clock but ababy hook by senior TylerBergfeld with 1:22 showingput the visitors up 19-17.

The Jays appeared to graba semblance on control inthe third period, getting sevenmarkers from Recker. Whenhe dropped a triple from thetop of the key with 11 tickson the board, they had their29-22 edge.

Its about execution. Thedefense was fine most of thenight despite a tough matchupinside, Elwer added. Wewerent executing consistent-ly on offense; when Marionturned up the heat some, weneeded to execute even bet-ter but did not. We sent twoback every time we shot toprevent them from getting ona roll in transition and we dida solid job not letting themdo that. However, they got afew offensive rebounds thatthey made pay off; in a tightgame like that, those are pos-sessions that hurt you.

The Jays finished 16-of-45 from the floor (6-of-27long range) for 35.6 percent.Despite being outsized atevery position, they only lostthe rebounding war 33-26(11-7 offensive) but they alsolost the foul struggle 21-10.They host Edgerton tonight,with a 6 p.m. JV start.

Marion Local canned16-of-38 from the floor, 2-of-14 downtown, for 42.1 per-cent.

In the junior varsity match-up, the Jays stayed perfect at10-0 (4-0 MAC) with a 45-33triumph.

Ryan Buescher pacedthe victors with 14, whileJordan Rethman and KellenGoettemoeller led Marion(3-6) with eight each.

It was what they feared asthe Panthers overpowered theWildcats with the score end-ing up 58-39.

The Panthers struck firstat the 7:11 mark with a4-foot banker made by DylanWelch. Jefferson hit rightback with a 3-pointer from

the top of the key by MitchellAntalis. The 3-2 score wasthe only lead of the nightfor the Wildcats with 6:28left in the first. Welch scoredagain at the 5:53 spot with a

The Panthersstruck just 20 seconds laterwhen Travis Keeran stole theball and took it to the netwith a layup. Grant Harderbecame the third Panther toscore, hitting a jumper fromthe foul line for a 5-point leadat 8-3 with 4:01 left in thefirst. Jefferson fought back

when Antalis hit a jumper atthe 3:05 mark and teammateNick Cook put up a shotfrom under the basket andgot fouled in the process. Hemissed the foul shot but drewJefferson was within one at8-6 at the 2:40 mark.

The rest of the quarterbelonged to Paulding. DanieleGuarnaschelli hit a 3-pointerfrom the right wing, LoganStoller plugged a 4-foot

jumper with 28 seconds leftand then at the 2-secondmark, nailed a 3-pointer fromthe left corner to give thePanthers a 16-7 lead after thefirst period.

Jefferson coach MarcSmith expounded: Theydid pretty much what theywanted to do offensively andthey were the tougher basket-ball team. They took the ballinside and took it right to therim.

Paulding coach ShawnBrewer was pleased with histeams start: I thought ourguys came out really focusedtonight. We knew we hadsome size advantage on them

but Jefferson is really quickand athletic.

The Panthers widenedtheir lead at the start of thesecond quarter. Stoller pickedup where he left off, hittinga layup in traffic 17 seconds

into the second and Hardergot the rest of his points of the night a 15-footer at the5:19 mark making it 20-7.Jeffersons Nick Dunlapcame back with a reverselayup to make it 20-9 at 5:06and followed with a 3-pointerfrom the right corner to pullDelphos within 20-12.

Pauldings AnthonyArellano got into the act innailing a jumper in the paintat the 4:05 mark but Ryan

Ebbeskotte got fouled and hittwo free throws for the hostsat the 3:53 mark, adding alayup with an assist fromAntalis in pulling Jeffersonback to within six points atthe 2:18 mark. The rest of the

half was all Panthers, gettinga layup, two foul shots and alayup by Derrick Pease with1:07 left in the half, end-ing the scoring in the firsthalf with the Panthers witha strong lead heading to thelocker room: 28-16.

Paulding once again struckfirst in the third quarter withKeeran heading to the linewhere he made one of histwo shots at 6:49. PauldingsDevan Bermejo hit a reverse

layup and the resultant freethrow at 6:09. Jefferson gotits first points in the thirdquarter from Dunlap a3-pointer from the right wingwith 5:59 left in the quar-ter. Antalis added a 3-pointerat 4:41, trying to rally histeam for a comeback withthe Panthers leading 36-22.The rest of the quarter stayedabout the same with Pauldinggetting a layup with five sec-onds left to end the thirdperiod up 41-26.

We had a difficult timepenetrating their matchupzone and the bottom line their defense was too muchfor us to handle, Smithadded.

Paulding scored againfirst in the fourth a Pease3-foot jumper to widen thelead to 43-26. Paulding gotfour more points over thenext three minutes untilJefferson hit back with anEbbeskotte 3-point shot fromNBA range, putting Jeffersonback to within less than 20points at 48-29. The scoregot to its widest point with2:32 left in the game whenPauldings Sam Heilshorn hita 5-foot banker for a 54-32lead. Both benches cleared tofinish out the game. The finalpoints from the PanthersJason Koenn who got a layup

sively, getting the looks wewanted, and our guards did agood job getting to the bas-ket, Brewer added.

Paulding improves to 8-4overall and 3-1 in the confer-ence. They host Ayersvilletonight.

By DAVE BONINSEGNAThe Delphos [email protected] FORT JENNINGS The

Fort Jennings Musketeerswere out to play spoilers tothe Continental Pirates PutnamCounty League boys basketballchances on Friday night at TheFort.

Despite keeping pace earlywith their opponents, theDivision IV state-ranked Piratesproved to be too much, com-ing away with a 61-40 victoryand remaining undefeated in thePCL.

Kurt Warnecke gave thehosts a brief 5-4 lead with a bas-ket off a steal early in the gamebut a Brock Homier (18 points)3-pointer gave the Pirates thelead for good at 10-5 with 2:34to go in the first stanza.

Senior John Spitnale led allscorers with 20 points for the

Pirates.Jeremy Kohli led Jenningswith 15 markers; CodyWarnecke added 11 points andfive boards in the effort.

Both teams shot lights-outfrom the foul line, with the guestsconnecting on 12-of-16 attempts(75%) and the Musketeers hit14-of-19 from the stripe (73%),including a 5-of 8 performanceby Warnecke.

The Pirates put together a7-0 run in the first quarter toseparate themselves from theirhosts and took a 19-9 lead intothe second canto.

Continental kept a doubledigit lead for most of the contestdespite a 6-2 spurt by the hometeam to end the first 16 minutesof play. However, Warnecke andKohli sparked the Musketeers

before the break as the Piratestook a 35-21 advantage at the

half.Continental would start thesecond half strong, paced bySpitnale hitting four shots fromthe field, accounting for nineof the Pirates 13 third-quarterpoints.

Nevertheless, the Musketeersbattled back to within 10 whenKohli connected on both endsof a 2-shot foul to make it a41-31 contest with 3:42 left inthe third.

The Pirates would take overin last 11:42 and roll off a 20-9spree, holding their hosts to justfour points in the final quarter,while Homier drained 7-of-8from the foul line in the finalperiod.
