Feds propose OT rule updates
Employers,
employees
urged to prepare
for changes
BY ANNE COBURN-GRIFFIS

FINDLAY Changes to the Fair
Labor Standards Act (FLSA) are brewing, just as they have several times since
the law was enacted in 1938. This time,
the changes proposed affect the rules
governing overtime. Later this year, those
modifications are expected to stick.
The FLSA was first passed in 1938

to establish a federal minimum wage,
determine overtime eligibility, set child
labor standards as well as guidelines for
record keeping. When it was signed into
law by President Franklin D. Roosevelt,
the depression-era act set the minimum
hourly rate at 25 cents and the maximum
workweek at 44 hours.
The law has been amended over a
dozen times since then. The latest round
seeks to substantially change what it
means to be an exempt employee.
According to Attorney William Beach,
a partner with Robison, Curphey &
OConnell of Toledo and Findlay, the
biggest changes will be made with regard
to a subclassification that defines, and
what must be paid to, administrative
employees. On Friday, Beach presented
a Findlay-Hancock County Chamber of
Commerce-sponsored program to regional employers on the subject.
According to Beach, such white col-
lar exemptions must currently be paid

not less than $455 per week ($23,660
annually) under the FLSA.
That number is going to rise because
regulations are going to change, he said.
The proposed rise was initiated on
March 13, 2014, when President Barack
Obama submitted a memorandum to the
Secretary of Labor. On the same day, the
Department of Labor published a related
fact sheet. On May 5 of the same year,
proposed rule changes were submitted to
the Office of Management and Budget.
Although the finalized rules were to be
made public last fall, they are still forthcoming. Once they are made public, there
will likely be a 90-day period allotted for
public commentary before any changes
are set in stone.
If those changes do come, and Beach
assured one participant that they will yet
this calendar year, the regulations will
change the status of many employees
from exempt to nonexempt. One
reason for this is that employers will be

required to increase the salaries of administrative employees. The attorney has
heard speculations of jumps to between
$800 or $1,200 per week.
If employers do elect to raise salaries to meet the increased price tag, the
description of what it means to be an
administrative employee must pass a new
primary duties test. The current FLSA
definition of duties for a person in an
administrative position is: whose primary duty is the performance of office or
non manual work directly related to management or general business operations
of the employer or the employers customers, and whose primary duty includes the
exercise of discretion and independent
judgement with respect to matters of significance.
Now could you write something that
vague? asked Beach.

Council hears
residents flooded
basement woes

DELPHOS When it rains, Lucille Donaldson watches the puddle on the south side of West Fifth Street; she
knows when it covers the outside lane, there will be water
in her basement. With last weeks repeated heavy rainfalls,
Donaldson saw it happen three times.
Donaldson and her son, Larry, addressed city council
on Monday to see if anything can be done.
There were three days last week water came into my
moms basement. One of those days, it wasnt just water,
it was sewer, Larry said. The third time, one of the sump
pumps quit and the other couldnt keep up and she had to
replace the furnace, air conditioner and water heater. I just
need to know if there is a possible solution.
Safety Service Director Shane Coleman said the city is
looking at all possible changes and what they all have in
common is a big price tag.
We have looked into separating the sewers and thats
just not something the city will ever be able to afford.
The last time it was estimated at millions, Coleman said.
Once we dry out, we can take a look at some of the
infrastructure.
Larry Donaldson said he understood the citys money

GOBA wheels into Delphos

DELPHOS They just kept coming.
More than 1,500 cyclists from the 2015
Great Ohio Bicycle Adventure rolled into
Delphos Sunday morning for a breakfast
snack, a restroom break and chance to relax
before picking back up to head to Bluffton.
Cyclists gathered in Van Wert Friday
and Saturday and enjoyed the GOBA bicycle parade, a concert in the park and a tour
of the city. On Sunday, the 2015 ride officiallay started as bikers left Van Wert for
Bluffton with a stop in Delphos.
We really appreciate the communities
that host us for snacks and meals, Lisa
Goodwin said.
The 65-year-old traveled from Florida to
Iowa to visit family and then headed to Ohio
for the tour. This is her first GOBA but she

has been cycling steadily since 1999.
Its good physical and mental therapy,
Goodwin said. I drive a school bus in
the winter and an 18-wheeler in the other
months so this is a change to be on the road
and really see what Im going by.
Seventy-two-year-old Stuart Kunz from
New Jersey intended to ride with his wife.
Unfortunately, she injured her knee and is
visiting relatives in Cleveland while her
husband rides for the week. This is his first
GOBA, too.
Kunz enjoys the ride.
The beauty of cycling happens when
you get in the flow, he said. When you
are fully engaged in the moment and you
see the beauty of the fields and the open
skies. Its great to get in the flow.

Local/State
Ottoville moves forward on

junk cars, damaged roads
OTTOVILLE A junk car ordinance
progressing through the legislative process in
Ottovillle is catching some flak and experiencing growing pains.
Addressing council on Monday, Ottoville
Chief of Police Jay Herick suggested changes
to the ordinance, the first reading of which
was held in May. He recommended re-establishing any first violation as a misdemeanor
offense, a provision council converted to a
steadily increasing fine schedule at its last
meeting. Herick argued that the village would
have no real recourse to collect a fine in situations wherein renters were found in violation.
On the other hand, he asserted that a misdemeanor charge and the fine associated with it
would have the backing of the court.
If youre going to take away the misdemeanor charge, you might as well scrap the
whole thing, Herick concluded.
Speaking from the floor, village resident
Matt Fiedler, who has publicly expressed the
belief that he is the target of the ordinance,
took issue with what he perceives as the open
nature of the rule. He stated that the village
already fails to enforce similar regulations
regarding property maintenance within the
village and that the wording of the junk car
ordinance leaves too many possibilities open
to interpretation. He took particular note of
a requirement for proper licensing on all
vehicles at all times, a regulation the State of
Ohio doesnt recognize a need for on seasonal
vehicles, such as snow mobiles and jet skis.
For me, Fiedler said, thats a whole lot
of power and you can do a whole lot of overreaching. Pretty much, you can cherrypick
what it is, who it applies to.
Its not just pointed at you, replied
Mayor Ron Miller. Weve asked people and
theyve cooperated. Weve asked you and you
havent cooperated.
Common sense is what were looking
for, added Councilor Carl Byrne.
Miller also updated council on efforts to
resolve a conflict between two Ottoville businesses: Bee Line Trucking and Main Street
Market. Concerned about traffic on Dollar
Street a short stretch of road common to
both businesses virtually abandoned by the
village Pat Vetter, co-owner of Main Street

Market, proposed that the village vacate the
street in early May. Citing the expense and
inconvenience of an address change, Bee Line
Trucking and its parent company, Indiana
based Celadon Trucking, adamantly opposed
the proposal and the issue between the two
businesses became heated and personal.
Council solicited a gentlemans agreement
from both parties to operate cooperatively
until a permanent solution to the issue was
found. While no particulars were forthcoming, Miller suggested that such a solution is
imminent.
It sounds like they want to hammer things
out and make things work out there, Miller
said. Hopefully, by next meeting we can have
a contract for council to look at.
Turning their attention to an entirely different village byway, council addressed a need
to repave an alley behind Small World Child
Development Center on E. 2nd Street. Invited
to attend the meeting, individuals with property fronting the alley were advised by council
that, historically, the village shares upkeep
expenses with property owners in a 50/50
split. They were then informed that a tear out
and regrade of the alley is estimated to cost
between $5,000 and $6,000 dollars.
Band-aiding it isnt the way to fix it,
explained Miller, suggesting that simply filling potholes with cold-patch would prove
fruitless in the long run. We need to do it
right.
Council then quietly discussed the possibility of assessing percentages of property
owner portions based on frontage. While no
decision was reached on the topic, it was
concluded that the daycare, with significantly
larger frontage, would bear the brunt of such
a policy.
Council also approved a proposal to replace
doors in buildings owned by the municipality.
At present, three doors are affected. Council
approved hiring Wannemacher Construction
for the project. The company presented the
village with an estimate of $12,775 for time
and material, which includes the removal and
re-bricking of two side windows on one of
the doors.
The next regular meeting of the Ottoville
Village Council is scheduled for July 27 at 7
p.m. in the municipal building.

Elida Council approves water/sewer rate increase

BY STEVEN COBURN-GRIFFIS
DHI Media Staff Writer
sgriffis@delphosherald.com
ELIDA Effective August 12, residents of the Village of
Elida will pay a bit more for water and sewer services. Council
members at their meeting Tuesday night heard the third and
final reading and unanimously approved the passage of an
ordinance raising rates.
Under the provisions of the ordinance, water rates will
increase by three percent every August for three consecutive
years. Sewer rates will increase five percent per year for the
same three year period.
In a bizarre twist, the increases contributed to a public airing of dirty laundry.
Paxton advised council that, in an effort to explain the need
for the increases to village residents, he submitted a letter to
The Lima News. As a consequence of that submission, he said
that he was called into a private meeting with both Hardy and
Village Solicitor Austin Klaus after councils last meeting two
weeks ago.
Describing the 45-minute meeting as chilling, Paxton
said that the mayor stated that the nature of the letter could
harm relations with Lima officials and that his actions could
create a burden for village staff. Paxton added that Klaus cautioned him about identifying himself as a village councilor in
any future letters, believing that such could be misconstrued

as an action taken by the whole of the council.

Reading from a prepared statement, Paxton said, (Hardy)
then asked me to show him any future letters before I sent
them so that he could check them for accuracy. I said I would
consider it. He replied, Dont consider it. Do it.
Clearly shaken, both Hardy and Klaus sought to clarify
their rationale for the meeting, the gist of which was a strong
request to not act unilaterally without councils understanding
and approval. Both men assured Paxton that his right to submit
letters was not in question, but that the potential consequences
of doing so requires forethought.
I dont like to air laundry out on the council floor, Hardy
said. But since you brought it out, the reason I want to check
the letters is, is there a way to diplomatically state something.
We dont want to stir the pot with any entities that we deal
with.
Klaus echoed Hardys comments.
Throughout that meeting, we made it very clear that its
absolutely 100 percent your right to do that and that were
just asking for some simple courtesies so that staff could be
prepared, he said.
With no further complications, council adjourned. The next
meeting of the Elida Village Council is scheduled for July 14
in the town hall.

302,000 in May, but overall
the number of unemployed
has dropped by 26,000 in the
past 12 months.
The state added 1,500
new manufacturing jobs last
month, 6,300 in professional
and business services, 4,000
more in trade, transportation,
and utilities, 1,600 more in
state government, 1,000 in
additional positions in educational and health services.
Ohio lost 1,000 jobs in leisure and hospitality as well
as 2,400 positions in local
government.
Manufacturing
gained
17,100 workers in the past
12 months, while the private
public service sector added

68,000 new jobs.
County unemployment
data released on Tuesday by
the ODJFS shows very little change in the numbers,
though what change there is
reflects an increase in the
number of unemployed. In
Van Wert County, the rate
ticked up slightly from 3.8 to
4.2 percent; in Allen County,
from 4.5 to 4.6 percent; in
Paulding County, from 4.5 to
4.7 percent; Putnam County
held steady at 3.7 percent;
and the lowest jobless rate in
the state remained in Mercer
County at 3.1 percent, a slight
jump from Aprils 2.9 percent.
The U.S. national unemployment rate for May rose
to 5.5 percent, up from 5.4
percent in April.

Wildcats run-rule Blue

Jays in ACME baseball
By JIM METCALFE
DHI Media Sports Editor
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS With the

wet weather that has plagued
the region the last two weeks,
baseball was the last thing on
the mind of ACME Summer
Baseball teams.
When Jefferson paid a
visit to Stadium Park to battle St. Johns on a brilliant
Tuesday evening, one might
have expected an uneven performance by both teams.
One would have been
right for the most part as
timing affected each team in
a different way.
The Wildcats were less
affected, knocking out 15
base hits and handing the
Blue Jays a 13-3 6-inning
loss.
The Jays also didnt help
themselves with six errors,
while the Wildcats issued
seven walks and two hit batters but had three pitchers

against Blue Jay starter Eric
Vogt on leadoff hits by Jacob
Boop and Jace Stockwell.
Both came home to score
on a 1-out infield to short
(Jacob Pulford) and, after a
wild pitch a 2-out single to
center by Easton Siefker.
The visitors made it 3-0
in the top of the second on
a leadoff error on Damien
Dudgeons grounder, a passed
ball, a bunt single by Boop
and a RBI groundout to third
by Stockwell.
St. Johns Team Basketball Camp
Jeffersons Damien Dudgeon puts the ball in play in the

second inning against St. Johns in ACME action Tuesday
at Stadium Park. (DHI Media/Jim Metcalfe)
The Jays got a run back in
the third against reliever Brett
Mahlie (for starter Brandan
Herron) on a leadoff walk to
Josh Warnecke, a 1-out free
pass (Matthew Miller) and
an error on a pickoff play to
second.
Jefferson made it 4-1 in
the upper third on a leadoff
liner to center by Herron, a
single by Siefker, 1-out forceout on Dudgeons grounder
and a throwing error on the
play.
The Wildcats chased Vogt
in the top of the fourth (for
southpaw Devin Cairo) on
a 1-out error on Stockwells
grounder and back-to-back
singles by Gage Mercer and
Pulford. Cairo retired the
next two.
The Jays neared within 5-3
in the home fifth after loading
the bases with no outs (Aaron
Reindel hit by a pitch, Connor
Hulihan walk, Vogt walk). A
2-out hit by pitch (Warnecke)

scored Reindel and brought
in southpaw Pulford to the
mound. A wild pitch scored
Hulihan but Pulford got the
third out.
The Red and White sent
12 to the dish in the guest
sixth to close it out, crossing
the plate eight times. They
used a huge leadoff error
meaning only one run was
earned and amassed six
hits to chase Cairo after four
outless at-bats (for the southpaw Miller). Pulfords 2-run
ground-rule double to left
field and Boops 2-run single
to right center were the big
blows, as well as a run-scoring double by Stockwell,
a run-producing infield hit
to short by Dudgeon and a
fielders-choice groundout
by Siefker. Another run came
home on a wild pitch to make
it 13-3.

Cougars need 9 to get past

Knights in ACME archrivalry
BY NICK JOHNSON
DHI Media Correspondent
sports@timesbulletin.com
VAN WERT- After a long

break from baseball thanks to
Mother Nature, the Cougars
and the Knights met up at
Smiley Park on Monday night
for a renewal of the county
rivalry in ACME baseball.
Van Wert left a small village
on the base paths but was
able to pull out the 6-5 victory in nine innings.
Crestview put two runners
on in the first frame as Jordan
Miller reached by a hit by
pitch and Zech Simerman
singled to right field, but Van
Wert pitcher Josh Braun got
three fly outs to outfielders
Mason Carr and Ryan Stoller
to end the top of the first.
Van Wert loaded the bases

in the bottom of the first with
one out but Knights pitcher Spencer Rolsten got two
straight strikeouts to leave
the bags full.
Van Wert got their leadoff runner on in bottom of
the second frame as Nick
Gutierrez reached base via an
error and Lawson Blackmore
dropped down a sacrifice
bunt to advance him 90 feet.
Gutierrez reached third base
on a passed ball and came
around to dent the plate on a
Carr sacrifice fly to give Van
Wert a 1-0 lead.
The Knights were able to
take the lead in the top of the
third as Miller doubled and
Colby Clifton tripled home
Miller before he would score
thanks to a Jon Krouse ground

out to second basemen Jacob
Covey, 2-1 Knights.
In the bottom of the third
inning, Caleb Fetzer singled
and later advanced to third.
Gutierrez walked to put runners on the corners and a
wild pickoff attempt by the
Knights allowed Fetzer to
score and tie the game at 2-2.
The Cougars put their first
two runners on base in the
bottom of the fourth as Carr
doubled and later scored on
a Stoller single to right field.
Fetzer and Evan Williams
each walked and, in between,
Braun picked up an RBI with
a base knock to bring Stoller
home and give Van Wert a
4-2 lead.

Defense deserts Cougars

in ACME loss to Bulldogs
BY JOHN PARENT
DHI Media Sports Editor
sports@timesbulletin.com
VAN WERT For the

first time in a long time, the
Mother Nature offered up a
beautiful day for baseball. At
Smiley Park, however, Van
Werts ACME squad wasnt
exactly enjoying a day in the
sun.
The Cougars committed
eight errors leading to four
unearned runs as Elida left
town with a 9-4 victory.
It could have been much
worse for the Cougars, but
the visiting Bulldogs stranded
an astounding 16 baserunners
in the game, leaving the bases
loaded in each of the first
four innings.
Still, Elida collected just
enough timely hits to take
advantage of all those runners. The first of those came
with two outs in the top of
the first, when second baseman Scott McDonnell ripped
a single down the third base
line and into left field, scoring Austin Morrison. After
the Cougars took a 2-1 lead, it
was McDonnell who ignited
another Bulldog rally in the
third.
McDonnell singled sharply
into right and each of the next
two Bulldogs also reached on
hits, loading the bags with
nobody out against Cougar
starter Lawson Blackmore.
The incoming freshman
showed his grit, however, and
recorded back-to-back called
third strikes to retire Noah
Meeker and Brady Gibson.
Blackmore should have
escaped the inning unharmed,
but a Cougar error, their third
of the game to that point,
allowed Morrison to reach
and brought McDonnell in to
tie the game at 2-2.
More defensive woes hampered Van Wert in the fourth,
as Elidas first two batters of
the inning reached when routine ground balls were misplayed. Blackmore retired the
next two batters, but this time
Elida earned its runs. A walk
to Dylan Holcomb loaded the
bags with two outs, but singles by Meeker and Gibson
brought home three runs.

Indian Lake Winners

The Delphos Bass Club recently held its tournament at Indian Lake. Winners were, from
left, Keith Stewart, first with a limit weighing 9.99 lbs. (2nd Big Bass - largemouth weighing 3.31 lbs.); Leroy Miller, 2nd with a limit weighing 9.24 lbs. (Big Bass - largemouth at
3.62 lbs.); Brandon Osting, 3rd with a limit weighing 7.93 lbs.; and fourth went to Rob
Lucas with a limit weighing 7.79 lbs. (Photo Submitted)

on Van Werts John Lee (25). Elida won Tuesdays ACME

together two strong innings
against Elidas Josh Bull.
After an Evan Williams
single and a Bulldog error
opened the second, leading to
the first two Cougar runs, Van
Wert plated two more in the
third. For a moment, it looked
like it might have been more.
Jake Covey walked to start
the third, and Caleb Fetzer
singled on a bunt. Josh Braun
also bunted, but reached
when no Bulldog covered
first base, leaving the bags
full. After Williams drove in
a run, Nick Gutierrez jumped
on a full-count fastball and
hammered it to deep left
field. Off the bat, it appeared
the ball was destined for extra
bases and possibly to leave
the park, but it died short
of the fence and wound up
as a sacrifice fly. Bull then
induced a comebacker and
a strikeout to escape further
damage.
The Cougars left two
runners on in the fifth, but
didnt threaten again until
the seventh, by which time
they trailed by five. Braun
was hit by Bulls first pitch
of the home seventh and a
one-out walk to Gutierrez put
two runners on and ended
Bulls day on the mound.
In relief, Cade Parker got
Ryan McCracken to chop
a grounder to third, but the
throw to first was wide and

I want to give him the
benefit of the doubt but the
benefits are starting to run
dry and the doubts are growing like a cartoon snowball
rolling down a hill.
Maybe that is a pipe
dream with the way things
work these days but I can
only hope that this is only a
nightmare.
This is also about Rose

the team he played for so
many years; the Cincinnati
Reds.
Its about will they or
wont they.
I am referring to the
becoming more hot and
heavy rumors about potential
trades of some of their stars.
That particularly includes
Johnny Cueto but also Aroldis
Chapman and even extends to
potentially Mike Leake, Jay
Bruce, Joey Votto and Todd
Frazier.
I know that this is a possibility for some, if not all,
because I am pretty sure they
wont be able to give Cueto
the salary he likely is looking
for especially since he spoke
the Cougars had them loaded

once again. Parker came up
with a strikeout and a fly ball
to end the rally and the game.
Blackmore took the loss
for Van Wert, though much
of the damage was due to
some sloppy defense. He was
charged with five runs, but
only two earned. He allowed
seven hits and five walks
while striking out three.
Williams worked the final
three innings in relief and
was charged with four runs (2
earned) on three hits.

out about the team not scoring runs for him.

They are still a small-market team, even though owner
Robert Castellini appears to
have reasonably deep pockets
though not along the lines
of the Yankees, Dodgers and
Angels, for example and
has indicated he will spend
money.
They did pass a million at
the gate the other day through
33 games, so the draw is
there, though not like the Big
Red Machine days when 3
million-plus was almost guaranteed.
Part of the problem are
some of the long-term salaries to some like Bruce and
Votto give them issues to deal
with and the injuries they
have suffered this season,
forcing them to give youngsters playing time.
I dont know the inner
workings of salaries, etc., and
where the Reds really stand
with all of this.
What I afraid is going to
happen especially if the
Reds are out of the playoff
chase come the trading deadline is the dreaded fire sale
and rebuild.
I would like to see them
give it a shot but I am realistic:
we may be seeing a rotation
soon of Michael Lorenzen,
Anthony DeSclafini, Carlos
Contreras all with great
potential, by the way and
whomever they can bring up
from the farm or get in trade,
plus a redesigned bullpen
without Chapman and whomever else might get shipped
out.
I just wonder if that were
to happen, would season-ticket holders and general admission buyers get
a break, knowing the Reds
dont expect to contend the
rest of this season.
After all, they are struggling with these guys; can we
expect better without them?
I also may be all wet!!!

readers may already know,

Press connection there as our

Cougs
Crestview got a run back in the fifth as

Miller walked to lead off the frame. One
batter later, Krouses double cut the Van Wert
lead to 4-3.
Down to their final three outs in the top
of the seventh, Crestview got a single from
Payton Knittle. After a bunt from Miller,
Krouse tied the game up at 4-4.
In extra frames, the Knights were the first
ones to score as Anthony Lucente walked
with one out and would later score on a Van
Wert error to push the score to 5-4, Knights.
Van Wert rallied, however, as Evan
Williams doubled to open the bottom of the
eighth and Gutierrez singled to put runners on
the corners. Blackmore hit a towering drive
to deep center field to plate Williams and
tie the game up at 5-5. Van Wert went on to
load the bags thanks to walks from Carr and
Stoller but two straight grounds out to the
pitcher ensured there would be another inning
of baseball.
Much like previous innings, Van Wert
filled the sacks in the bottom of the ninth,
this time thanks to singles from Fetzer and
Braun and a walk to Williams. Gutierrez then
stepped to the plate and, against a drawn-in

Knights defense, he crushed a rocket into left
field to bring home the game-winning run in
the bottom of the ninth, 6-5.
We played well I thought for being
off for 12 days; we battled hard. They are a
pretty good team and they hit the baseball
very well. We made some plays and we didnt
make other plays. That is kind of the ball
game. Coming into the game we were trying
to get our pitchers back in the normal swing
of this so we throw a lot of guys today and
we also throw a lot of bullpen just trying to
get them ready for tournament in a couple
weeks, said Crestview coach Kole Rolsten.
We have three more games this week so
we needed a big night from Braun and we got
it. We are going to grind as a team and as long
as we have three outs to go we are going to
do that as a team. We count around 20 some
guys we left on base tonight and that is from
lacking of play. But we also happy with the
effort and execution to get those guys on base.
We are also really happy with the outcome for
tonight, said Van Wert coach Todd Dunlap.
Van Wert improved its record to 6-1 on the
summer and the Knights drop to 5-2 on the
year. This game evens the AMCE series as
both teams have one won and lost one.

Movie Review
"Little Green Men"
Entourage
Based on the 2005-2011 HBO

TV series about a young actor
and his posse of best friends
in Hollywood, this feature-film
treatment is targeted primarilyand blatantlyto the same
kind of hedonistic horn dogs
who make up the movies base
of bro-main characters.
Tinseltown satire, super-rich
success fantasy and chauvinistic sex comedy rolled into one,
the Entourage movie takes up
where the TV series left off
and doesnt go much anywhere
else. A-list movie stud Vince
(Adrian Grenier), newly freed
from a nine-day whirlwind marriage, is ready to return to work
and now wants to direct as well
as act. As usual, his longtime
nitwit buddies are all-aboard:
Eric, his manager and best
friend from childhood (Kevin Connolly); Johnny Drama
(Kevin Dillon), his dim-bulb,
struggling-actor half-brother;
and Turtle (Jerry Ferrara), his
driver turned tequila mogul.
High-strung agent Ari Gold
(Jeremy Piven), now running
a movie studio, green-lights
Vinces film, a ridiculous, futuristic twist on Dr. Jekyll and Mr.
Hyde, which quickly balloons
over its budget. The movies
investor, a rich Texas oilman
(Billy Bob Thornton), sends his
starstruck son (Hailey Joel Osment) to ride shotgun over the
troubled production.
The pencil-thin plot: Will
Vince and his crew cash in once
again, or will Hollywood finally
break the bros?
The Entourage TV show was
loosely based, at least originally,
on the some of the experiences
of actor Mark Wahlberg, who
Boys Town - Big, bloated, bio-fest-ic movie picks up

where TV series left off, starring Adrian Grenier, Kevin
Connolly, Kevin Dillon, Jerry Ferrara and Jeremy Piven.
served as executive producer
and is now one of the producers
of the movie (and has a cameo,
with his own tagalong entourage). But the movie version
plays like such an overblown,
oafish wet-dream stream of
sexy (often topless) women,
caustic one-liners and obscene
wealth, it seems adrift in its
own alt-universe, like an R-rated, 100-minute Viagra commercial shot inside a VIP strip
club operated by light-depraved
leprechauns. If you liked Entourage and its freewheeling,
high-living characters on TV,
you may think theyre even
cooler enlarged to cinema-size.
Otherwise, you might wonder
what anyone ever saw in this
pack of boors, mooches, rakes
and cads with so few discernable, redeemable skills, talents
or virtues or values.
The movies attempt at addressing something deeper
as Eric confronts his paternity
with his pregnant ex-girlfriend
(Emmanuelle Chriqui), or Ari
seeks peace through spiritualityseems pathetically out of
sync with its true, crude flow.
To add to the movies sense
of disorientation from the world

in which most people live, an
almost endless parade of real
actors, sports figures and other
personalities breeze through,
blurring the lines by interacting
with the fictional characters.
Theres a lecherous Bob Saget, a grumpy Kelsey Grammer,
a ticked-off Jessica Alba, an
incredulous Martin Landau, a
loopy Gary Busey, plus rapper
T.I., director Jon Favreau, actors Liam Neeson and Armie
Hammer, comedian Andrew
Dice Clay, Sports Illustrated
swimsuit model Emily Ratajkowski, NFL quarterback
Tom Brady, TV personality
Piers Morgan, zillionaire Warren Buffett, mixed-martial arts
fighting champ Ronda Rousey
and many, many more. Blink
and youll miss someone.
Its almost like everyone inside Hollywood wanted a piece
of the action. The bigger question: How many people outside
of Hollywood will want a ticket to this smug, bloated, bigscreen, bro-fest-ic boy party?

VW County Hospital Sleep Center receives program accreditation

VAN WERT Van Wert County

Hospital Sleep Center in Van Wert
recently received program accreditation
from the American Academy of Sleep
Medicine (AASM).
The American Academy of Sleep
Medicine congratulates Van Wert County
Hospital Sleep Center on meeting the
high standards required for receiving
accreditation as a sleep disorders center, said Dr. Nathaniel Watson, AASM
president. Van Wert County Hospital
Sleep Center is an important resource to
the local medical community and will
provide academic and scientific value in
addition to the highest quality care for
patients suffering from sleep disorders.
To receive accreditation for a fiveyear period, a sleep center must meet

or exceed all standards for professional
health care as designated by the AASM.
These standards address core areas such
as personnel, facility and equipment,
policies and procedures, data acquisition, patient care, and quality assurance.
Additionally, the sleep centers goals
must be clearly stated and include plans
for positively affecting the quality of
medical care in the community it serves.
Medicine accredited a sleep disorders
center for the first time in 1977. Today
there are more than 2,500 AASMaccredited sleep centers across the country.
The Van Wert County Hospital Sleep
Center is Javier F. Pere, MD. The center is accredited to treat a wide variety of sleep disorders and disturbances
including obstructive sleep apnea, central sleep apnea, insomnia, parasomnias,
periodic limb movement, shift work
disorder, and more. Call us today to
learn more about how we can help you
get a better night of sleep, every night:
419-232-5281
Medicine is a professional medical society for clinicians, researchers, and other
health care providers in the field of sleep
medicine. As the national accrediting
body for sleep disorders centers, the
AASM is dedicated to setting standards
and promoting excellence in sleep medicine health care, education and research.

79th Boys State includes Rule

16 from Putnam County
By Sarah Erchenbrecher Fryling
Sentinel Correspondent
news@putnamsentinel.com
BOWLING GREEN Sixteen boys represented Putnam

County at the 2015 American Legion Buckeye Boys State
program last week. The program, which just completed its
79th year, was held at Bowling Green State University from
June 14 to 21.
The eight-day program offers participants a hands-on simulation of every level of Ohio government. Delegates campaign
and vote for a vast range of government positions, from Boys
State Governor to City Council members. Others are appointed
to essential positions by elected officials in areas such as engineering and utilities. The boys spend their week implementing
and maintaining the government theyve created. They pay
taxes and utility bills. They obey the laws their fellow delegates have passed.
If they dont, they might find themselves being taken to jail
by Kalida High School junior Nathan Meyers who served as
his countys Deputy Sheriff. I serve warrants, write tickets,
file complaints everything a real sheriff does, Meyers said of
his position.
In addition to learning the finer points of state government,
the boys end up getting a crash course in real life. According to
Nathan Vorst, also of Kalida, It was an easy opportunity to get
out of the house and realize what a job is like in the real world
because we had to take a loan for a mortgage. You have to pay
taxes. We had to realize real quickly how to manage budgets.
One of Buckeye Boys States biggest draws seems to be its
reputation as a leadership and college preparation program.
I applied to Boys State because I heard it was a really great
leadership program and its really going to help me in college
preparation. Im applying to the Air Force Academy and one of
the things that they look at is if you attended Boys State across
the nation, said Columbus Grove student Quinton Langhals.
Some of the delegates have their teachers and guidance
counselors to thank for seeking them out for the program.
Colton Niese, a student from Miller City-New Cleveland High
School, says he was hand selected by his guidance counselor
who thought he would be a good fit for Boys State. PandoraGilboa student Cole Alexander credits his high school history
teacher, Leo Recker, for convincing him to apply. Alexander
hopes his time at Boys State will help him if he decides to
pursue a career as a history teacher.
A Boys State counselor, one of over 150 program staff
members, pointed out that for many of the delegates this is
their first time away from home. The boys are grouped into
cities of 40 delegates each and, as a result, find themselves
mixed in with boys from all over the state.
You really get to see people and meet people that you
wouldnt otherwise meet back in Ottawa, said OttawaGlandorf student Skyler Weber.
Ross Schroeder of Leipsic High School said that his favorite
aspect of the week was bonding with his fellow delegates. At
the beginning of the week we came here as 40 guys who were
strangers to each other in a city and now were like brothers,
he said.
The young men who attended from Putnam County also
included: Noah Emmons (Continental); Jeremy Smith (Fort
Jennings); Kurt Schroeder (Leipsic); Jack Cavanaugh, Bailey
Krouse, Eric Peck, Herman Recker and Kyle Verhoff (OttawaGlandorf.)
Buckeye Boys State concluded on Sunday, June 21, with an
ecumenical church service, graduation ceremony and awards
presentation at BGSUs Stroh Arena.
It is anticipated that the federal government will adopt

California rules to redefine the administrative duties. Under
the California rule, if somebody does less than 50 percent of
that primary duty in their job, they are not eligible for the
exemption. Their primary duty could be 45 percent of doing
that one primary duty which is executive or administrative. If
youre wearing a lot of hats you could spend 20 percent on
Human Resources, 20 percent on hiring, 20 percent on payroll, 20 percent on the phone and you could still qualify. But if
they adopt this California rule where you have to spend a minimum of 50 percent of your time in the exempt capacity, then
thats going to change a lot of people from the exempt to the
nonexempt category because they dont meet the duties test.
Although neither the new financial threshold nor the
new terms of the duties test have been released yet, Beach
urged employers to prepare by 1) identifying exempt
employees, 2) analyzing exempt employees compensation

and 3) analyzing exempt employees duties. He noted that
employers may have the opportunity to adjust compensation through incentives such as bonuses. He also suggested
that employers keep time records for all employees, if they
dont already.
Once the final word is out later this year, employers can
refer to that preparation in restructuring staff. Those gray
zone employees who rarely work over 40 hours may be
reclassified as nonexempt with employers paying occasional overtime. However, some employers could evaluate the
cost/benefit ratio and bump an employees pay up to the
minimum threshold of $60,000 to maintain their exempt
status and avoid paying overtime.
Some people will get bumped up, others may see their
jobs cut into two part-time jobs, said Beach. We wont
know how you test that until the new rules are released.

After the meeting Councilman Del Kemper

talked with the Donaldsons and made suggestions of modifications that can be made in the
basement to make flooding less likely.
Coleman reported to council plans on setting up the wastewater treatment plant for the
pilot study with Fibracast is moving along.
We are working hard to get the engineering plans done and we are close to something
workable and with a formal report for council, Coleman said.
He also said police chief and sergeant tests
will be given on July 22 to fill openings on
the police force.
We have four signed up for each test

Coleman told council.

alleys in the city.

I know we are down on manpower and
I hate to ask, but someone asked me so Ill
bring it up, Kemper said.
Coleman said working on the alleys is
always in the plan but maintenance workers
have several large projects they are currently
working on, including the alley beside the
police station.
We also had quite a few days last week
we needed to help residents with flooding
issues, so that took a lot of time away from
our maintenance duties, too, Coleman said.
Kemper also asked about solutions to trees
and other vegetation that partially or completely block sidewalks.
Coleman told Kemper if he was provided
with addresses where this is occurring, he
would send a letter informing the homeowner
of the issue and give them time to correct it
before further action is taken.
Councilman Jim Fortener asked if it was
possible to plan overtime for Saturdays or
Sundays so everything can get caught up.
That is not in our budget, Coleman said
and sought confirmation from Auditor Tom
Jettinghoff, who agreed. Theres not a lot
of overtime budgeted for the maintenance
department to begin with and weve almost
used that up already.
The next council meeting will begin at 7
p.m. July 6.

GOBA
Chemical engineer by trade, Kunz said everyone can thank him for making GLAD trash bags
stronger. He now studies philosophy, physics and
the nature of time.
Of course, Im doing it at my leisure, Kunz
joked.
Age is no barrier for participation in the adventure. Small childrenn were secured in seats behind
their parents and those that could ride, had their
own wheels. Jesse, 5, and Jacobe, 7, joined their
grandparents, Irwin Wienberger and Meg Manny
for the week.
The boys are doing a great job, Wienberger
said. They are always pedaling.
Manny said she thinks the boys are enjoying
the whole experience.
They are having fun, she said. They really
enjoy the camping, too.
Jacobe said that was his favorite part; stopping
in the evening and pitching a tent. Jesse said he was
having fun riding bikes with Uncle Grandpa.
After their breakfast and museum stop in
Delphos, GOBA riders headed to Bluffton. On
Monday the ride continues to Defiance, where
riders will stay until they head to Bowling Green
on Wednesday and to Ottawa on Friday. Fort
Jennings American Legion Post will host the riders
for lunch on Saturday and then they coast back into
Van Wert to end the 2015 tour.
GOBA riders average 50 miles a day on their

bikes as they ride through the country from town
to town. Organizers mark the routes for the riders
as well as provides maps so the riders know where
to go. Scenery, low traffic, road surface, access to
food and other services, attractions, and distance
from overnight town to overnight town are all
aspects considered when choosing the route.
With recent flooding issues around the area,
GOBA organizers will check the routes as take off
nears to make sure the roads are not under water.
This years tour features a mostly flat to rolling
terrain with five days of cycling 45 to 55 miles to
each stop. There are two days with optional loops
available allowing for a maximum of 411 miles
and a minimum of 258 miles to be ridden along
the route.
The participants not only have to endure the
elements while riding, but also at night as it is a
camping tour as well. Organizers provide trucks
for the riders to put their luggage each morning
before leaving the campsite and when they arrive
at the next destination, riders will find their luggage and begin to set up camp for the night.
An average of 2,500 participate each year in the
tour, which brings an economic boost to the towns
the riders visit restaurants, retail stores, and attractions.
The average rider spends about $30 per day and the
crews helping support the riders also spend money, so
GOBA estimates up to $75,000 being spent each day Grandparents Erwin Wienberger, left, and Meg Manny, right, brought along grandsons
along the route by those with GOBA.

Answers to last Saturdays questions:

Grandma Moses, the American folk artist, waited until she was 76 to take up painting
because she was crippled with arthritis and could no longer hold an embroidery needle but she
could hold a paintbrush.
According to Greek mythology, the Oracle at Delphi told Apollo horseradish was worth
its weight in gold. He was told, The radish is worth its weight in lead; the beet, its weight
in silver; and the horseradish, its weight in gold.
Todays questions:
Why did oil billionaire J.Paul Getty settle on $2.2 million as the amount he would pay
toward the $3 million ransom demanded for his kidnapped grandson in 1973?
What U.S. state capital is named for a gold prospector?
Answers in Saturdays Herald.
Todays joke:
A Preacher decides to skip Sunday services and go to the golf course to hit a few.
When he gets there, he discovers there isnt anybody else around, and he has the entire
course to himself.
But he does have witnesses. It seems God and Jesus are keeping an eye on him.
Look at that guy, Jesus says, He should be in church instead of out there. Cmon,
Dad, let me hit him with a lightning bolt or something.
No, God says, Ive something else in mind for him. Watch what happens when
he makes his next shot.
He sets up a ball, drives it off the tee-It sails 200 yards and lands squarely in the hole.
What kind of punishment is that, Dad?! Jesus yells, That has to be one of the
greatest golf shots in history!!
Thats right, son, indeed it is.and because hes alone, he cant tell anyone about
it.
