Edinger eager for more time with familyBY NANCY SPENCER

DHI Media Editor

nspencer@del-phosherald.com

DELPHOS It is witha grateful but heavy heartthat John Edinger leavesDelphos City Schools.Edinger has been principalat Jefferson High Schoolfor 11 years and has lovedevery minute. If you talkto anyone who has workedalongside Edinger, the firstthing they say about is thatfirst and foremost, he caresabout the kids.

The things I value mostabout John is his generosity,his genuine love and con-

cern for his students andhis leadership in creating apositive environment thatis conducive to learning inour high school, CounselorMartin Ross said. He hasset a great example for meand others with his integrity,work ethic, love of the joband his character.

For Edinger, gettingalong with students is quiteeasy.

Kids just want to berecognized and know thatsomeone cares. Its amaz-ing to me how many kidsdont have someone whotells them hello every day,

Edinger said. We havethem at an age that we canmake an impact on them and

as principal, I found myselfeven more able to do just

that. Kids respond to posi-tive words and actions.

As a former athleticdirector, teacher and coach,he was hesitant to take aprincipalship but whena colleague told him hedbe able to impact studentslives even more, he took theplunge.

It has been so rewardingto watch my 300 or so stu-dents grow into young menand women and learn hereevery year, Edinger said.

Edinger has also becomevery close with his staff.

Right before I started hereas principal, someone told me

you have to separate yourselffrom the staff to be an effec-tive principal, he said. Ihave found that is in so nottrue. This staff is a great bigfamily. Everyone Ive hiredhas stayed. Relationshipswith your staff are so import-ant. Ive gone through deaths,births and visited people inthe hospital.

Edinger has found keep-ing up with new rules, reg-ulations and reporting to thestate a task that takes himaway from his daily interac-tions with students and hisleadership duties.

I just need to step away

from all the state mandatesand red tape and get backto whats important to me

the kids, Edinger said.The mandates push coresubjects more and more.School is what it is. Ourpublic wants us to educatein every facet of life but ourfocus has been pushed tocore subjects. Im also look-ing forward to having a littlemore time with my family.

Beginning in August,Edinger will spearheada new digital academy atSpencerville Schools, anendeavor that will be famil-iar to him.

I started the on-lineschool here at Delphos CitySchools because I saw our

students slipping away fromus. he said. They werebeing homeschooled or tak-ing their classes online butdidnt have the opportuni-ty to participate in schoolactivities if they chose to doso. With the online schoolavailable right here in thebuilding, they can do theirstudies and then go play soc-cer or baseball or whatever.It gives them ownership anda feeling of belonging. It alsoenables us to help studentswho come into our district

who are credit deficient.

CLEVELAND Amid highdemand for NBA Finals tickets andreports of counterfeit ticket sales,Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWineis warning Cleveland Cavaliers fansto beware of ticket scams for theremainder of the series between theCavs and the Golden State Warriors.

Scammers will do whatever theycan to get you to pay, and then theyregone, Attorney General DeWinesaid. Once you find out somethingis wrong, its too late. The sad truthfor most people is that once they havelost money in a scam, they will never

see that money again. Thats whyprevention is so important.In the last several years, Ohioans

have reported losing hundreds of dol-lars to ticket scams involving popularsporting events and concerts. In most

cases, the consumers found tickets forsale on Craigslist and paid the seller,but received nothing in return. Also,some scammers create counterfeitpaper tickets to sell to unsuspectingbuyers.

Tips to avoid ticket scamsinclude:

Be skeptical of offers thatare too good to be true. Sellers onCraigslist or other online marketplac-es may offer tickets at face value (orbelow) for events that are sold out orhighly in demand, but these offersmay be scams. Some sellers alsomay provide phony explanations forwhy they need to sell tickets quickly

for a good price. For example, theymay falsely claim to have a familyemergency or to be in the military.

Be careful dealing with indi-vidual third-party sellers. To protectyourself, deal with reputable busi-

nesses instead of third-party individ-uals who are not associated with anevent. Before providing any paymentor personal information, researcha sellers reputation, especially forindividual sellers. Conduct an onlinesearch using the sellers name, user-name, email address, and/or tele-phone number along with words likereviews, scam, fake tickets, orcounterfeit tickets.

Check the venues ticket poli-cies. Increasingly, a number of ven-ues and events predominantly useelectronic tickets. However, if youretrying to buy a paper ticket, makesure its real. Check both sides of

the ticket, and be aware that someticket scammers use falsified photos,logos, or trademarks to create coun-terfeit tickets that look legitimateeven though they are not.

Consider paying with a credit

card. If a problem arises, you general-ly have greater ability to dispute cred-it card charges as compared to otherpayment methods. Be skeptical ofsellers who say you must pay via wiretransfer, prepaid money card, or giftcard. These are preferred paymentmethods for scam artists, becauseonce payment is provided, it is verydifficult to recover.

Consumers who believe theyvebeen defrauded should immediatelyreport the scam and contact the com-pany they used to make the payment.

Ohioans can report scams to theOhio Attorney Generals Office atwww.OhioProtects.org or by calling

800-282-0515. Suspicious Craigslistads can be reported to the OhioAttorney Generals Office directlyfrom Craigslist at https://www.craig-slist.org/about/scams.

A Visit with Joan Geise 87Wise

Joan Geise graduated from

St Johns in 1947 and wassoon working in the officemanagement sector. For ashort time she worked for theBetter Business Bureau inLima. Joan said she knew sheliked the office work arenaand wanted to focus on therole of secretary. To that endshe furthered her educationearning the equivalent of anAssociates degree (1949) fromthe small business college (runby Jules and Irene Burnett)in Lima that would be theforerunner of NorthwesternBusiness College and UNOH.

In the fall of 1949, Joanbegan serving as secretary for

National Can Re-Tinning acompany that, you guessed it,re-tinned milk cans. The com-pany would grow with addi-tional plants expanding to bothMinnesota and Tennessee.Joan worked there for 10 yearsbut the advance to milk truck-ing would soon make re-tin-ning obsolete and the companywent out of business.

Joan was on to helpingher husband Hubert (mar-ried 1957) with the opera-tion of the Chateau Bar onMain Street in Delphos. Sherecalled many enjoyable easygoing times in the 1950s and60s at the Chateau where you

got to know the regular cus-tomers and a lot of nice peo-ple. (Friday afternoon checkcashing and keeping companywith many of the girls thatworked at the cigar factory intown).

Joan lamented that itbecame less fun as the bartransitioned to bar & grill.She said the food part of thebar was a lot of work and verylittle profit. Somewhere near1980, they sold their part ofthe ownership to Browniewhom many may remember.

Losing Hubert in 1990,Joan returned to work andspent a number of years

flower arranging in severalflower shops in our area. (InDelphos, Shawnee Road and

the American Mall). She espe-cially enjoyed the interactionwith all the customers.

A few of Joans Favorites:Season: The sun of

Summer and the football ofFall. Joan said she has alwaysenjoyed soaking up the sunsvitamin D and the football ofthe Blue Jays, Buckeyes andDallas Cowboys. (Since theStaubach days).

Color:Yellow because itsso bright and sunny.

Food: I like anything butliver and onions and have anaversion to cooked spinach.(Joan very much likes freshspinach in a salad)

Music: The Big Bands,The Dorseys, and especiallyGlenn Miller.

Car: 1954 whiteOldsmobile Delta 88 convert-ible (from CD Olds), blacktop, red and white leatherseats. Nice!

Sports moment:Enjoyingmany, many good times withBlue Jay football and basket-ball.

School days memory:Having a part in the SeniorClass Play Little NellieKelly (1947) and remem-bered as a sophomore in highschool, World War II wasover. The idea that there

was no more killing, Joanrecalled Not being able tounderstand how one bombcould do so much destruction.I couldnt believe that onething you could throw out ofan airplane would annihilate acity like that. Joan said it wasjust beyond her imagination,noting though that her imag-ination and science never gotalong too well!

Favorite president:I always idolized JohnKennedy, he left an impres-sion on me, saying he wasjust charismatic, maybe notalways on the up and up, buthe stood up as a leader duringthe Cuban Missile Crisis.

I dont think theres oneperson in Washington thatsworth throwing a bucket atright now. Why they cantcompromise, Our nation wasfounded on cooperation andthey sit there in Washingtonand collect all the money and

benefits and do nothing tohelp anybody else. Joan hashope however. If you dont

have any hope, whats the useof living?

If I had a magic wandand could fix one thing inthis world Id EliminateWorld Hunger. The Have-Nots are getting the short endof it.

Many farmers had difficultygetting crops planted this yeardue to cold, wet soil; but nowmost are hoping for some rain.Farmers who planted covercrops are also struggling to fig-ure out how and when to plant

to maximize the grain cropyield. Often this involves get-ting the cover crop killed at theright time. When it is cold andwet, often the best strategy is tolet the cover crop grow so it candry out the soil.

Farmers often have waitedtoo long to plant the cover cropfield because they think it istoo wet, but generally, covercrops use evapotranspiration toremove water from the soil andthe soil is actually drier 5-7 daysearlier than conventional fields.That is a big advantage for usingthe cover crop. Planting 5-7days earlier generally results in5-7 bushels of more soybeans.However, if farmers wait too

long, the soil gets too dry andhard and then farmers may lose5-7 bushels of soybeans. I reallylike to see soybeans comingup before killing the cereal ryeunless the soil is getting toodry. Unfortunately, governmentcrop insurance rules dictate thatall cover crops have to be killedwithin 5 days of planting.

This year, many farmershad difficulty with their closingwheels in cereal rye. The soilwas hard or the trench would notclose. One strategy is to just planta little deeper and get the seeddown to moisture. Another strate-gy is to attach a log chain, 15-18inches long, behind the closingwheels on both side, and drag

that chain along in a half moonthrough the rye. The chain willknock some soil into the trenchand cover the seed. A third optionis to do some strip tillage in frontof the coulter or follow the plant-er with a light harrow to closethe trench. If farmers get .5-1.0inch of rain, it generally is not aproblem. This year the rains havebeen really light and the seeds areslow to germinate or the soybeanstand is very patchy, germinatingat different times.

Some farmers killed theircereal rye early and plantedearly. However, they planted

soybeans into soils that stayedcold and wet and the soybeansnever germinated and gotmoldy. They are now replant-ing. Our experience has beenthat all these problems start tobecome less of an issue after

1-3 years, as the soil gains soilorganic matter and the soilsbecome more friable.

Several farmers commentedthat they never want to let theircereal rye get 4-6 feet tall again.Most organic matter comesfrom the roots (roots fullymature by early spring), not thestems and leaves, because stemsand leave decompose quickly.However, in really wet years, itis beneficial to let the cover cropgrow because it will dry out thesoil. The goal is to start plantingat the right time, and that is gen-erally 5-7 days earlier than con-ventional farming. Each tillagetrip dries out the soil by .5 to 1.0inch of water. Cover crops do

this naturally without using fuel.Planting corn into cereal ryecan be tricky. Some farmerskilled their cereal rye early andplanted early and this appearsto be successful. Cereal rye mayhave an allopathic effect plantedon corn by tying up nitrogenand/or changing the microbial

community. A recommendationis to use 40-60 pounds of nitro-gen with the starter and plantat least 2-3 weeks after killingthe cereal rye. This avoids themicrobial bridge associat-ed with bacteria decomposing

young lush cereal plants whichare very similar to young emerg-ing corn plants. By killing thecereal rye 2-3 week before thecorn is planted, the bacteriamicrobial population peaks andcrashes before the young cornplants start to germinate, so theyoung corn is not struggling tocompete with the bacteria aseither a disease organism or fornutrients. Bacteria numbers fluc-tuate very quickly in the soil withthe availability of water and soilnutrients. Give me a call if youhave questions (419-421-7255).

The hardest time farmer havewith converting to cover cropsand planting no-till crops is inthe first 1-3 years. Some of it is

just the learning curve and someof it is just the fact that the soilneeds to change and improvefor this system to work. Thequicker farmers can make thatchange, the more successful theywill become at improving theircrop yields and improving waterquality in Lake Erie.

BY LOVINA EICHER

We have entered the month of Junealready. It looks like we had just a littlebit of rain during the night, which wereally need! Last night we watered thegarden, as it was getting really dry. Buteverything is coming up really well. Weare still enjoying radishes, green onionsand lettuce from our first planting earlierthis spring.

We had a nice three-day weekendwith a lot of fishing. On Friday eveningsome went fishing on the lake, and thenwent again Saturday and Monday.

On Sunday evening we ate outsidearound the fire. The men deep-fried fishand French fries. How nice to just sitand watch.

Timothy and Elizabeth went tochurch at his sisters house in anoth-er church district. We kept their dogs,Izzy and Crystal, while they were gone.Crystal doesnt like to be separated fromElizabeth, but Izzy loves staying here.She will go hide when she knows theyare leaving for home!

Saturday we had a short visit frommy sister Liz, Levi and family. Theirdaughter Elizabeth and her husband

Samuel, and their baby LaRose werealso along, as was their daughter Rosasspecial friend, Menno.

LaRose is around six months old andlooks like she doesnt lack attention. Sheis Liz and Levis first grandchild, andshes a sweetie. Daughter Elizabeth washere and got to see LaRose for the firsttime. Sister Liz is doing a great job atbeing a grandma and spoiling her.

Joes sister Salome and husbandMorris are also first-time grandparentsnow. Their daughter Katie Edna, andhusband Ben had a son named Benjamin.Joe went to visit them while we were atniece Lovinas wedding. I was a cook soI didnt go with Joe. Hopefully Ill getto meet little Benjamin soonmaybe atthe family gathering in July. Joes sister

Christine and Jake are planning to haveall of Joes family there on July 2. Theylive about three hours north of here. Weare looking forward to seeing everyoneagain. Its been awhile since weve seensome of the family. Hope everyone willmake it!

On Monday, everyone went fishingexcept daughters Elizabeth, Lovina andI. Timothy had his boat out, and bothof ours were out as well. When theystarted filleting fish, they had more than200 bluegills! Timothys nephew wasalso fishing and helped clean the fish.Everyone was here for a pizza supperbefore leaving Monday evening.

I usually have a bunch of bananashanging on a banana holder on mycountertop. Elizabeth took a banana andstarted eating it. Son Kevin, 10, toldher that everyone needs to ask him fora banana, since thats why Mom buysthem. He said that since shes mar-ried now, she doesnt have to ask him.Elizabeth and I had a good laugh about

that after he went outside. I dont knowwhere he got the idea that the bananasare his. I think he likes eating bananasmore than anyone else does. When hewas a little boy, he always asked forbananas when he saw them at the store.He wasnt very old, and he would callthem monkey. I think it was becausewe would call him a monkey when hewas eating them.

I want to make rhubarb juice thisweek. Daughter Elizabeth made severalbatches and brought us a tastedeli-cious!

Susan is still working on getting herwedding invitations out. She said shedidnt realize there was that much workto get ready for a wedding. She said itlooked easier when Elizabeth did it.

I must get back to work. Gods bless-ings!Zucchini Soup

Western BasinWalleye: Walleye fishing has

been good off Crane Creek, near

A and E buoys of the CampPerry firing range, within 1 mile ofthe Portage River, around ClintonReef, off Mouse Island, nearRattlesnake Island, between SouthBass and Kelleys islands and east ofthe Kelleys Island airport. Most fishhave been caught by trolling withcrankbaits or worm harnesses, or bycasting with weight-forward spinnersor mayfly rigs.

Yellow Perch:Yellow perch havebeen caught off the MarbleheadLighthouse, southwest of KelleysIsland on American Eagle Shoaland south of Ballast Island. Perch-spreaders with shiners fished nearthe bottom produce the most fish.

Central BasinWalleye: Some walleye have

been caught 1-2 miles north of

Cranberry Creek, in 25-35 feet ofwater off Sheffield and near AvonPoint. Good fishing was reported in40 feet northeast of Gordon Park inCleveland, in 19-25 feet northwestof the Chagrin River, in 50-60 feetnorth of Geneva and in 40-60 feet

========#hotbite ! Riley Reservoir,

Crawford County-yellow perch,bluegills and channel catfish arebeing caught using nightcrawlers.Best location is the northwest corner.

=========Fisheries Tools of the Trade:

Electrofishing SurveysAbout 1 in 4 fishing trips to Ohio

reservoirs are made by anglers pur-suing largemouth, smallmouth andspotted bass.

Every spring, to keep tabs onthose bass populations, Division ofWildlife crews use specialized boatscalled electrofishers to put an elec-trical charge into the water and sur-vey the bass in Ohio reservoirs. Thefish that encounter the electrical field

produced by the boat are temporar-ily stunned, allowing them to benetted and placed in a large livewelluntil they can be counted, measured,weighed and returned to the water.

These surveys provide biologistswith the information they need to

maintain quality bass populationsthroughout the state, in a way that issafe for the bass that are collected.Bass are an extremely valuable com-ponent of Ohios reservoir fish com-munities and with the informationgained from electrofishing surveys,Division biologists will ensure thatour bass populations will continue tothrive for years to come.

===========Frog season opens today!Frog season is open from 6 p.m.

the second Friday in June to April30, 2017.

Jays rally late to edge WildcatsBY JIM METCALFEDHI Media Sports Editorjmetcalfe@delphosherald.com

DELPHOS Fundamentals.

Even though during theACME Summer BaseballLeague, when practice time islimited, it still comes down tothe basics of hitting, fieldingand pitching.

Both St. Johns andJefferson struggled both atthe plate combining fornine hits and in the field(10 errors, 6 by the hostWildcats).

In the end, the Blue Jayshad a 3-run seventh inningand grabbed a 6-4 victory ona gorgeous late-spring eve-ning at Wildcat Field.

After the Wildcats (3-3)rallied to take the lead 4-3 inthe bottom of the sixth, St.Johns (4-0) answered thoseruns against third Jeffersonhurler Brenan Auer. Eric Vogtgrounded a single into left,took second on an error on apickoff try and tied it courte-sy of a triple to the right-cen-ter fence by Buddy Jackson.An error on Josh Warneckesgrounder plated the runner fora 5-4 edge. Jacob Youngpeter

walked and an out later,Corey Koverman blooped ahit down the left-field lineto load the bases. ChandlerSkym flied out to center toget Warnecke in for a 6-4lead and sent Youngpeter tothird but Auer got the finalout to leave it a 2-run deficit.

Vogt, on in his second

frame of relief, retired theWildcats in order.

Vogt led off the Jays sec-ond against Jefferson start-er Tyler Shrider by gettingaboard via a throwing error,stole second, took third onan error on the sequence andscored on Jacksons ground-out to short.

The hosts tied in in thebottom half on a 1-out erroron Darius Shurelds fly ball,a 2-out free pass to Dre Reedand a line single to left centerby Andrew Foust.

St. Johns broke the 1-1tie in the upper fourth. Withone gone, Vogt walked andstole second. However, hewas caught in a rundown offa Jackson grounder to shortfor the second out. Warneckebeat out an infield hit thatsecond baseman Foust doveto keep on the infield. Bothrunners advanced on a passedball and scored on a 2-runopposite-field double to left

center by Youngpeter for a3-1 lead by the Jays.

Jefferson went up 4-3 inthe bottom of the sixth. Withtwo down, including TroyElwer robbing Brett Mahliewith a sliding catch in center,Auer legged out an infield hitto the hole at deep short andStockwell and Jordan Boopworked a free pass to load thesacks. An error on Shureldsgrounder plated Auer andShrider lined a single to cen-ter to score Stockwell andBoop home for a 4-3 edgeand bringing Vogt in.

St. Johns is in an LCCtournament at 10 a.m. todayand Sunday at SimmonsField, while Jefferson is atVan Wert 6 p.m. Monday.

Licolnview tops VanWert 7-6 in ACME

By Jim CoxDHI Media Correspondentsports@timesbulletin.com

MIDDLE POINT Lincolnview and Van Wert,two teams with lots ofnew players, slugged it outWednesday evening in aninteresting ACME game thatwas won by the Lancers, 7-6.

Lincolnview moves to 1-6while Van Wert falls to 2-5.

It was 3-3 through 5 1/2innings before the action

picked up considerably.In the bottom of the sixth,Lincolnviews bats camealive against Cougar relieverConnor Army. With one out,Braxton Fox smoked a linerthat Army knocked down butcouldnt find in time to getFox at first. Ethan Parsonsbunted Fox over beforeChayten Overholt lined a sin-gle to center. Gavin Carterripped a single to left, scoringFox with the go-ahead runand putting runners on thecorners again. Jaden Youtseydrove in both Overholt andCarter with a double downthe left-field line and BradenEvans plated Youtsey with asingle to center. Lancers led7-3 after six.

That 4-run lead proved tobe enough barely.

The Van Wert bats, too,came alive off of Lancerreliever Carter in the top ofthe seventh. John Lee led offwith a double down the left-field line, then scored when

Darius Eddins bouncer wasbooted. Eddins stole sec-ond. An out later, LawsonBlackmore doubled to theleft-centerfield gap, scoringEddins, went to third on awild pitch and scored on agroundout by Nate Temple.

Van Wert had jumped outto a 2-0 lead in the top ofthe first on singles by Eddinsand Gutierrez followed by aLincolnview throwing error.

The Lancers tied it withtwo unearned runs in the third

on only one hit, a double byParsons, taking advantage oftwo walks and two errors.

The two starters, Eddinsfor Van Wert and Parsons forLincolnview, had similar sta-tistics, each giving up threeruns, only one of which wasearned.

Neither figured in thedecision; that was left up torelievers Army for the Cougsand Carter for the Lancers.

=========Grand River Wildlife Area acreage rowsAKRON Thanks to generous donations from

the Trumbull County Federation of Sportsmans Clubs,the Northern Ohio Chapter of the American WoodcockSociety, the National Wild Turkey Federation and theMosquito Creek Chapter of Whitetails Unlimited, a totalof 21.43 acres of land adjacent to Grand River WildlifeArea (GRWA) was recently purchased, according to theODNR.

The four partner organizations fully covered 25%

(over $8,000) of the costs. The remaining 75% of the pur-chase price was paid with federal aid reimbursable fundsacquired through the Pittman-Robertson Act.

This purchase will square off our current landholdingsas well as help to bridge the gap between the northernand southern parcels at GRWA. The new parcel will adda young forest component in order to diversify the wetforest that encompasses much of GRWA.

It is a unique and wild place that is enjoyed my manydifferent types of enthusiasts visiting from Youngstown toCleveland. This area will take you back in time before thegreat swamps were drained. This vast track of wet forest,marshes, and streams offer a challenge to the hunters thatchoose to navigate it.
