This is the first of a three-part series on the cost of start-ing a family.

BY MONICA GERDEMANStaff Writer

Putnam Sentinel

PUTNAM COUNTY For many couples, the nextstep after marriage is havinga baby. The happiness of thatlittle bundle of joy is pricelessbut there are a few things toknow regarding funds whenthey expect to be expecting.

From the day parents beginto try having a baby, theirdoctor may ask the motherto begin supplements or vita-mins based on her health orthe health of the baby. Forexample, many doctors rec-ommend an iron supplementto help fight anemia and withiron, a mother may considera Vitamin C tablet to helptheir body absorb the iron. Asthe list of supplements grows,this can be an additional costmany parents may not havethought about. An iron tableton average can cost between$5 to $15 for over-the-coun-ter options.

The first doctors appoint-ment can be nerve-rackingand maybe a little scary, but ifparents are not insured, it canbe a frightening financially

as well. Diagnostic testing,such as an ultrasound, as wellas the first appointment, onaverage cost about $2,000 outof pocket. This is why it isimportant for parents to seeif they are insured and whatexpenses the insurance willcover.

Greg Brown withNationwide Insurance inOttawa advised, Make sureyou know the right questionsto ask your insurance com-pany before you plan to getpregnant. Some health insur-ance plans will cover thepregnancy and delivery butothers do not, and its reallysomething you should ask.

Then comes the baby

Healthier schools: Goodbye

candy and greasy snacksBY MARY CLARE

JALONICKThe Associated Press

WASHINGTON Goodbye candy bars and

sugary cookies. Hello bakedchips and diet sodas.

The government for thefirst time is proposing broadnew standards to make sureall foods sold in schools aremore healthful, a change thatwould ban the sale of almostall candy, high-calorie sportsdrinks and greasy foods on

campus.Under new rules theDepartment of Agricultureproposed Friday, school vend-ing machines would start sell-ing water, lower-calorie sportsdrinks, diet sodas and bakedchips instead. Lunchroomsthat now sell fatty a la carteitems like mozzarella sticksand nachos would have toswitch to healthier pizzas,low-fat hamburgers, fruitcups and yogurt.

The rules, required undera child nutrition law passed

by Congress in 2010, are partof the governments effort tocombat childhood obesity.While many schools alreadyhave made improvements intheir lunch menus and vend-ing machine choices, othersstill are selling high-fat, high-calorie foods.

Under the proposal, theAgriculture Departmentwould set fat, calorie, sugarand sodium limits on almostall foods sold in schools.Current standards alreadyregulate the nutritional con-

tent of school breakfasts andlunches that are subsidized bythe federal government, butmost lunch rooms also havea la carte lines that sellother foods. And food soldthrough vending machinesand in other ways outsidethe lunchroom has not beenfederally regulated.

Parents and teachers workhard to instill healthy eatinghabits in our kids, and theseefforts should be supportedwhen kids walk throughSee SNACKS, page 2

Suicide bomber kills guardat US Embassy in Turkey

BY SUZAN FRASERThe Associated Press

ANKARA, Turkey Inthe second deadly assaulton a U.S. diplomatic postin five months, a suicidebomber struck the AmericanEmbassy in Ankara onFriday, killing a Turkishsecurity guard in what theWhite House described as aterrorist attack.

Washington immediatelywarned Americans to stayaway from all U.S. diplo-matic facilities in Turkey andto be wary in large crowds.

Turkish officials said thebombing was linked to left-ist domestic militants.

The attack drew con-demnation from Turkey,the U.S., Britain and othernations and officials fromboth Turkey and the U.S.pledged to work together tofight terrorism.

We strongly condemnwhat was a suicide attackagainst our embassy inAnkara, which took place

at the embassys outer secu-rity perimeter, said WhiteHouse spokesman JayCarney.

A suicide bombing onthe perimeter of an embassyis by definition an act of ter-ror. It is a terrorist attack.

Turkish Prime MinisterRecep Tayyip Erdogan saidpolice believe the bomberwas connected to a domes-tic leftist militant group.Carney, however, said themotive for the attack and

who was behind it was notknown.

A Turkish TV journal-ist was seriously woundedin the 1:15 p.m. blast inthe Turkish capital, and twoother guards had lighterwounds, officials said.

The state-run AnadoluAgency identified thebomber as Ecevit Sanli. Itsaid the 40-year-old Turkishman was a member of the

outlawed RevolutionaryPeoples Liberation Party-Front, or DHKP-C, whichhas claimed responsibilityfor assassinations and bomb-ings since the 1970s. Thegroup has been designated aterrorist organization by theUnited States but had beenrelatively quiet in recentyears.

Hillary Rodham Clinton,in her farewell speech toState Department staffmoments after she formal-ly resigned as secretary ofstate, said we were attackedand lost one of our foreignservice nationals.

She said she spoke withU.S. Ambassador FrancisRicciardone, our team thereand my Turkish counterpart.I told them how much wevalued their commitment andtheir sacrifice.

Sen. John Kerry, theincoming secretary of state,also was briefed.

The U.S. Embassy build-ing in Ankara is heavilyprotected and located nearseveral other embassies,including those of Germany

and France. U.S. diplomaticfacilities in Turkey have beentargeted previously by ter-rorists. In 2008, an attackblamed on al-Qaida-affil-iated militants outside theU.S. Consulate in Istanbulleft three assailants and threepolicemen dead.

On Sept. 11, 2012, terror-ists attacked a U.S. missionin Benghazi, Libya, kill-ing U.S. Ambassador Chris

Stevens and three otherAmericans. The attackersin Libya were suspected tohave ties to Islamist extrem-ists, and one is in custody inEgypt.

Fridays bombingoccurred at a security check-point at the side entrance tothe U.S. Embassy, which isused by staff.

State Department spokes-woman Victoria Nuland saida man detonated a suicidevest at the checkpoint onthe outer perimeter of theembassy compound.

He came to this firstpoint of access to the com-

pound where you have tohave your ID checked, youhave to go through security,Nuland said.

The guard who waskilled was standing outsidethe checkpoint, while thetwo wounded guards werestanding in a more protectedarea, said Interior MinisterMuammer Guler.

The two were treated onthe scene and did not requirehospital treatment, he said.

Mary E. Baxter

This is so not how this wassupposed to be. I quit smokingand my lungs were supposedto clear and I was adding yearsto my life and getting sickless.

Reality? Coughing, cough-

ing, coughing. I thought per-haps it was my lungs purg-ing more than 30 years ofcigarette smoke but I dontthink so.

Throat hurts. Chest hurts.Head hurts. Probably got afever. Yuck!

Flu bug, why did you haveto visit me?

It was inevitable. You canthide from it. It gets us all -eventually.

But I was supposed to geta free pass this year because Iquit smoking. Its not fair.

So now I have to get thiswritten, share my miserywith you and go to bed. Is

it cold enough out there forya? I love walking the dogand having my nostrils freezetogether. Im just lucky this

one is almost as cold as I ambecause he doesnt have muchfur. Sadie could stick it out fora while with her triple coat.

Im ready for the heat wavetoday and I wont even minda little snow. Im hoping to

sleep in a bit and wake up toa white wonderland. It willlook lovely while I snivel andcough.

I wonder if BuckeyeChuck and PunxsutawneyPhil will agree today. I think itwould be cool to have my ownground hog and hold a partyeach Groundhog Day and leteveryone come over and see ifmy little guys sees his shadow or not. So which will it be?Six more weeks of winter oran early spring? Ill tell youa secret. Groundhog Day isabout six weeks from the firstday of spring. Coincidence? Idont know, you tell me.

It would still be neat tohave my own groundhog.Ive have been sleeping

better since I quit smoking

and thats nolaughing mat-ter. I appreci-ate sleep andtheres noth-ing better thangood sleep.

T h i n g sare starting totaste better,too. I didntthink thingstasted bad before so this couldget interesting and danger-ous. Theres this thing aboutquitting smoking: its reallyhard and you find yourselftrying to replace it with some-thing and its usually food. Ithink Popsicles may be mysaving grace.

There is one thing I hopeI dont do after officiallybecoming an ex-smoker. Thatwould be to get down on peo-ple who still smoke. If anyone

knows how hard it is, I do. Itwas a big decision to put itout there in a column and leteveryone know.

When smokers talk aboutit, its kind of like a club. Weall know how it is. We allknow how much they controlus and when one of us tries toquit and doesnt make it, well,we all know that its hard andit may take more than onetry. When we see someonesmoking who said they weregoing to try and quit, we feeltheir pain. Theres no judging.Were bummed because wethought maybe if they coulddo it, we could too.

So remember that. Notnecessarily for me but for allthose trying to shake the nico-tine monkey off their back.

Why did you come a callin?

Most snacks sold in schoolwould have to have less than200 calories. Elementary andmiddle schools could sell onlywater, low-fat milk or 100 per-cent fruit or vegetable juice.

High schools could sell

some sports drinks, diet sodasand iced teas, but the calo-ries would be limited. Drinkswould be limited to 12-ounceportions in middle schools, and8-ounce portions in elementaryschools.

The standards will covervending machines, the a lacarte lunch lines, snack barsand any other foods regular-ly sold around school. Theywould not apply to in-schoolfundraisers or bake sales,though states have the power toregulate them. The new guide-lines also would not apply toafter-school concessions atschool games or theater events,goodies brought from home forclassroom celebrations, or any-thing students bring for theirown personal consumption.

SnacksHunt for murderer

mistakenly freed in ChicagoBY JASON KEYSERThe Associated Press

CHICAGO Authoritiessearched Friday for a convict-ed murderer from Indiana whowas mistakenly released aftera Chicago court appearance,

as officials in Illinois admittedthey lost paperwork directingthem to return him to Indiana.

It turned out Steven L.Robbins didnt even need tobe brought to Chicago in thefirst place, and Cook Countyofficials on Friday also pointedfingers over who was respon-sible for that mistake.

Robbins, 44, was servinga 60-year sentence for murderin Indiana and was escortedby Cook County sheriffsdeputies to Chicago this weekfor a court appearance in aseparate case involving drugand armed violence charges a case that had actually

been dismissed in 2007. Afterappearing before two CookCounty Circuit Court judges,Robbins was taken to a jail onChicagos South Side. He wasreleased hours later, instead ofbeing sent back to Indiana tocontinue his murder sentence.The public was not alerted thathe was on the loose for about24 hours.

Cook County Sheriff TomDart on Friday took respon-sibility for Robbins release,saying a document show-ing he should be returned toIndiana disappeared while hisdeputies were transporting theprisoner, sometime between

a Tuesday court appearanceand his return to jail after asecond court appearance

Wednesday. Robbins wasreleased Wednesday evening.Were not ducking the factwe dropped the ball. We mademistakes, Dart said. Thepublic deserves much more.Were going to find out what

went wrong here.But Dart and CookCounty States Attorney AnitaAlvarez, both prominent localDemocrats, exchanged tensewords about who should acceptresponsibility for havingRobbins brought to Chicagofrom Indiana. Alvarez said heroffice had told Darts officethat it didnt need to bringRobbins from Indiana becausethe drug and armed violencecase was closed. But Dartsoffice proceeded anyway, shesaid, because of confusion overthe outcome of the case andbecause Robbins demanded tostand trial. The Cook County

Sheriffs Police, despite thefact that the assistant statesattorney told them that theydidnt have to bring him back,they thought it would be betterif they did bring him back toget this all cleared up becausethe guy keeps writing lettersdemanding trial, Alvarez toldreporters.

But Dart said his officesought and was granted permission from the stateattorneys office to bringRobbins to Chicago. The sher-iff showed The AssociatedPress a copy of the extradi-tion request from Septembersigned by one of Alvarezs

prosecutors. We cant just goto any state in the country andsay You know what? Were

going to take someone outof your prison and bring himhere. Theyre the ones thatsigned off on allowing us to goget this guy, Dart said.

Dart also said that becauseof an antiquated computer

system, his office thought anarrest warrant for Robbins inthe case was still active, whichis why it asked the state attor-neys office for permission toextradite Robbins. Its ourfault but we move 100,000people a day and its all donewith paper, Dart said. Federaland local law enforcementofficers searching for Robbinswere knocking on doors inIllinois and Indiana on Friday,including those of his friendsand relatives, the sheriffsoffice said. The FBI and U.S.Marshals Service offered a$10,000 reward for informa-tion leading to his apprehen-

sion.In a late afternoon inter-view, Dart said there had beensightings of the fugitive andthat authorities had been closeto catching him. Robbins, aGary, Ind., native, was serv-ing a sentence for murder andweapons convictions out ofMarion County in Indiana.Witnesses to the 2002 killingtold police Robbins was argu-ing with his wife outside abirthday party in Indianapoliswhen a man intervened, tell-ing Robbins he should not hita woman, according to courtdocuments. The witnesses saidRobbins then retrieved a gun

from a car and shot the man,Rutland Melton, in the chestbefore fleeing.

COLUMBUS Republican Josh Mandel isntready to write off his politi-cal future after his unsuccessfulchallenge to U.S. Sen. SherrodBrown last fall in one of themost bitter, closely-watchedand expensive elections in thecountry.

Mandel confirmed this weekthat he plans to seek re-electionas Ohio treasurer next year.

Obviously its impossibleto predict the future, but youknow, I think the best courseforward for me is just do a good

job as state treasurer, which Ibelieve we have been doing andIll continue to do, Mandel saidThursday during a legislativepreview session for journalistsorganized by The AssociatedPress. Asked to reflect on therancorous campaign and itspotentially damaging effect onhis political ambitions, Mandelrattled off a few Ohio politi-

cians who he said bounced backafter their political obituarieswere written. He noted thatGeorge Voinovich had a dou-ble-digit loss in a 1988 Senaterace before becoming governorand later U.S. senator, and thatcurrent Ohio Attorney GeneralMike DeWine lost a 1992 chal-lenge to then-Sen. John Glennbut won a Senate seat two yearslater. DeWine lost the seat toBrown, a Democrat, in 2006.

Delphos Public Library shares new offerings

The question of the day: Did he see hisshadow?

Winter seems to have arrived in all itsglory and hopefully will make a dramatic exitshortly. But at the moment, I am glad Im notone of those people that has to deliver mail inthis weather.

As many of you already know, the personattributed with the quotation Neither snow norrain, etc. was Herodotus, a historian who livedin the Fifth Century BC in Ancient Greece. Thestatement is certainly a far cry from todaysmodern postal service. But at the moment, Iam thinking about the weather that a chosenfew will enjoy in Alaska this summer. I am

looking for 2-5 additional people who wouldlike to join us for the trip of a lifetime. We dohave a woman who will be traveling by her-self but would welcome a roommate so if youor someone you know might be so inclined.We leave on July 27 and return on August5. Our small caravan of travelers will be inAnchorage, Denali, Talkeetna, Seward, KenaiFjords/Peninsula and on the glaciers using rafts,kayaks, dog sleds, planes, trains, ATVs, Jeeps,boats and riding in luxury conversion vehicles.Lodging will be at quaint inns and bed & break-fasts. We will have our final meeting at 7 p.m.Tuesday at the museum to work out the last fewdetails and meet all those who have paid theirdeposit to go. Curious? Interested? Stop in. Allof us are your friends and neighbors from thesurrounding community.

I did hear a large groan Monday when the

postage rates were elevated another $.01 to$.46 for a first class ounce letter. That equatesto about a 2.5 percent increase in cost incomparison to the $.62 cent increase over thelast weeks in the cost of a gallon of gas. ButI digress. Of the industrialized nations in theworld the US still enjoys the least expensivemail service. In most categories, the rates onlyincreased on the very first ounce additionalounces are still the same.

The year 2013 is a milestone in many cat-egories. One such milestone will be the themeof this years Gala Celebration on Feb. 17 inthe upstairs gallery of the Museum of PostalHistory. It is the 100th Anniversary of the cre-ation of parcel post. This service actually wentinto effect on Jan. 1 of that year and was thebeginning of the US Post Office Departmentssurge as the forefront of a global economy.

This enactment was the end of a very long andheated debate in Congress.Businesses in rural communities relied on

the local farmer for a major portion of theirretail business. By allowing large urban storessuch as Sears & Roebuck, Montgomery Wardsand Wannamakers to package their goods anddeliver them inexpensively to the Americanfarm, it was predicted that this alone wouldend the small town businesses. Ironically, theprediction did come true but only in small partto the beginning of parcel post.

It has been said that on the table in theAmerican farmhouse you would find just twoitems the family Bible and a Sears catalog.If you visit the Delphos Canal CommissionMuseum, you will find a Sears car on display.Yes you could purchase a car, a weapon, a

home and just about anything else you couldpossibly want and have it delivered to yourdoor. Remember the reason I say to your dooris because Rural Free Delivery (RFD) beganin 1896 as an experiment in West Virginia.

Our Gala Celebration will include drinks, abuffet dinner, music by Bob Ulm, desserts byRuth Ann and trivia contest which will requireyou to find the answers to questions by tour-ing the museum, and the awarding of ourgrand door prize of a weeks vacation in yourchoice of either Lake Tahoe or Palm Springs,California. Reservations will be accepted bysending your check for $25 per person to:MPH, PO Box 174, Delphos OH 45833-0174.

It is ironic that we chose to celebrate thisservice just as the postal service has begunto change various characteristics of this typeof mail. First, Parcel Post is being renamed

Standard Post and will only be available forpurchase at the post office. Second, ParcelSelect is replacing Parcel Post for online post-age vendors and will now include free deliv-ery confirmation.

Other important events this year includethe 100th anniversary of the Lincoln Highway(the first coast to coast paved highway),the 100th anniversary of the Delphos Floodand the 100th anniversary of the openingof New Yorks Grand Central Station. OnMarch 1, 1913, the 16th Amendment to theUS Constitution was ratified creating IncomeTax and one week later, the Internal RevenueService began collection of income taxes. Thefirst minimum wage law was put into effectin Oregon and the first crossword puzzle wasprinted in one of New Yorks newspapers theNY World with just 32 clues. To commemo-

rate this great publishing event, the US PostalService issued a stamp to honor crosswordpuzzles in 1997.

The ReckerBooks

(Part 3 of TheFranciscan Sisters and

The Recker Book)

Last week you were intro-duced to the ancestors ofJohan Heinrich Recker. Thissegment carries the infor-mation in more detail. Theearliest records were foundat the Catholic Church inOstercappeln. They are as fol-lows:

First generation: On 2November 1701 a man namedJoan Henrich Reker marriedAnna Margaretha Luebeker.They had three children: AnnaMargaretha, 1703-1765 whomarried Joan Claus Simon;Catherine Margaretha, 1707 1744, who married ClausHenrich Bettenbroich andJohan Heinrich (below).

Second Generation: JohanHeinrich was born on 8 July1710, died 1 January 1802.He was a schoolteacher inthe village of Hitzhausen,near Ostercappeln. He wastwice married. On 11 May1734, he married Anna (orCatherine?) Elizabeth Erdtman(or Erdewin?) who bore him

a son, Joist Henrich, born in1736. On 3 November 1738,Johan Heinrich married secondCatharina Adelheid Clasing,who gave him three more chil-dren: Heinrich (below), JohanChristopher 1743 1750,and Anna Maria WilhelmineDorothea, born in 1752.

Third Generation: Henrichwas born 12 November1739, died 15 May 1771.He also became a school-teacher at Hitzhausen. On 19July 1764 he married AnnaMarie Holtgreve, who gavehim five children before hissomewhat premature death.After his death Anna Marie

married second, on 14 May1774, Joan Rudolf Leonhard.She died 11 February 1775at the age of 31, leaving herchildren with no natural par-ents. They were: Anna MariaElizabeth, 1765, who died aninfant; Joan Henrich below;Maria Elizabeth, born 1767;Clara Maria, born in 1769 andJoan Bernd Henrich (1771-1847), who married in 1799,Maria Elisabeth Meyer, (orMehring) and died a widower.

The next generation wasJohann Heinrich Redecker/Recker and Anna MariaLinckemeyer, who were mar-ried 18 July 1797 in Germany.

Their records are as follows:Joan Henrich was born 10August 1766. He first mar-ried Anna Maria Senger, whodied 24 June 1797, havingborne him a son, Johan JostHenrich, who died an infantin 1791. On 18 July 1797 hemarried second Anna MariaLinkemeyer. They were par-ents of Gerhard Heinrich,Johan Christopher Henrich,Klaus Henrich, Anna Maria(Recker) Moening (not veri-fied, Johan Henrich Ludwig,Bernard Gerhard (not veri-fied) Johannes Andreas andHermann Henrich Peter andpossibly two more children

(Mary Recker Jennings andJoseph Recker).

Johan Heinrich and AnnaLinkemeyer Redecker cameto America in 1838 on thePennsylvania, arriving inthe Port of Baltimore. Asstated in last weeks chapter:There were eight in their groupon the ship. Others were theiroldest son Gerh. Hinr. age43, his wife Anna Marie, age38 and their four daughters:Marie Elizabeth, Maria Engle,Anna Maria and Clara. Theirlast permanent address waslisted as Hitzhausen, German.

Anna Linckemeyers par-ents were Everd Heinrich

Linckemeyer and KatharinaEngel Winter. They weremarried 18 November 1767.Everd Heinrich was born 7October 1742 and died 12April 1796. Katharina wasborn 26 September 1742 anddied 5 February 1785.

Fraternal grandparents ofAnna Marie Linckemeyerwere Joh. HeinrichLinckemeyer, who was born16 June 1709 and died 22November 1766, and AnnaMaria Beckmanns, born 23October 1710, and died 12

January 1762. They were mar-ried 28 January 1731.

Anna Marie Linckemeyersmaternal grandparents wereGerd Jurgen Winter, born 12February 1708 and died 26December 1783 and AnnaAdelheid Hermdierckes, who

died 5 October 1773. Theywere married 21 September1741.

Johan Heinrich and AnnaMaria were known to haveeight children: GerhardHenrich 1797 or 1798 to 1856,Johan Christopher Henrich1799 1890, NickolasKlaus Henrich 1800 1866,Anna Maria (Mary) 1801 1880, Johan Henrich LudwigLouis 1805 1884, BernardGerhard (George) 1808 1879, Johannes Andreas 1809 1882 and Herman Henrich(Pete) 1816 1884.

In her book The ReckerConnection in America,Jeanette Laudick divided thefamily into eight chapters: A,B, C, D, E, F, G and H.

Jeanette added; The twoadditional children that seemto have been closely con-nected as their families wereintermingled with the verifiedReckers, include Mary ReckerJennings b. circa 1810, whomarried Bernard Jennings(Yannings) and Joseph Recker,b 1814, who married MaryAnn Musing. They are listed inthe 1850/60 and 1870 census.

Bernard and Mary (Recker)Jennings (Yannings) camefrom Hanover, Germany in1835 or 1841. Mary was bornc 1810, married and was wid-

owed by 1870. Their childrenaccording to the 1870 censusinclude: George 1839 1907,Bernard Theodore 1849,Mary Theresa 1842, MaryCatherine 1843 (died young),Eleanor Catherine 1846 (mar-ried Joseph Hotneier) andAnna Mary 1851 1936.Glandorf church records showthat Catherine Jennings 1846married 1871 to Joseph R.Hotneier (possibly Heitmeyer)b 1844. Catherine and Josephhad four children: Anna E.Hotneier 1872 1952, mar-ried to Bernard Beckman(they had one child), BernardHotneier 1874, Mary C.

Hotneier 1876 and Franz J.Hotneier 1878.

Anna Mary Jennings(Yannings) 1851 1936 mar-ried 1871 to John HermanRecker 1845 1927, son ofHerman Henry and Mary(Kottenbrock) Recker. Theyare parents of seven children,who are listed under HermanHenry Recker (8-3) It wasknown that they were closelyrelated.

Joseph Recker 1814 mar-ried Mary Ann Mussing c1818, daughter of William andMary Mussing. In the 1850census they lived in OttawaTownship, New Cleveland

area. The family was notlisted in later census. Theypossibly moved. Their chil-dren include Bernard c 1840,Theodore c 1843, Theresa c1845, Josephine c 1847, Maryc 1849 (died young), Henryc 1851, Catherine 1853 andAnthony c 1857.

Jeanette used the CharlesRecker Book as referencefor the following: Redecker/Reckers are found in thevicinity of Osnabrueck, a cityof Northern Germany locat-ed near a hill called Iburg

which was a stronghold of atribe of pagan Saxons whowere defeated and converted tothe Catholic faith by EmperorCharles the Great in the eighthcentury. The Emperor madeOsnabrueck the seat of thebishopric. During the Middle

Ages Osnabrueck and thesurrounding area was ruledby the bishop who was alsoa secular prince. After theThirty Years War, Osnabruckwas incorporated into theKingdom of Hanover.

An early history ofthe farming community(=Bauerschaft) of Sudendorfbei Glandorf (located south ofOsnabruck) which was pub-lished in 1961 by Dr. BernardRiese, of nearby Fuechtorf,reveals that a Recker fam-ily and farm was establishedin Sudendorf as early as1499. These Reckers werecalled Markkotters becausethey lived in a cottage onthe periphery (=mark) ofthe community, unlike theErbkotters whose farmswere located in the central partof the original Bauerschaft.One interesting distinc-tion between the Erbkottersand the Markkotters is thatthe Erbkotters could afforda plow with horses, but theMarkkotters were required topull the plow by hand. Also: In1928 a priest named WilhelmRecker wrote a history of thisRecker farm.

The entire family of JohanHeinrich and Anna MariaRecker migrated to Ohiofrom Osnabruck, Provinceof Hanover, between 1832and 1838. Most members ofthe family eventually settledin Putnam County. Some ofJohan Christopher HeinrichReckers children settled inTilbury and Amherstaburg,Ontario, Canada areas. Othersmoved to Iowa. Farming wasthe main occupation of theRecker sons. As stated in lastweeks edition, some of thesons of Johan Heinrich andAnna Maria Recker came ear-lier than their parents.

Herman Henry came in1832. Descendents of thefifth child, Johann HeinrichLudwig Louis claim he

came in 1828. The second

child, J. H. Redecker immi-grated in 1832/33. J. H.Redecker from Ostercapeeappears on the passenger listof Charles Ferdinand withtwo other adults and threechildren. This is believed to beJohn H. Christopher Recker.

The chapters for the chil-dren were: Gerhard HeinrichRecker, b 1798 in Hitzhausen,married 1821 to Anna MariaKaiser of Heuer, born 1797in Hitzhausen, Germany, died1863 in Glandorf, Ohio. Theycame to America in 1838,with his parents. Gerhard wasalso called George.

Their children were:Marie Elizabeth 1822 1838;Angela 1826 1910 mar-ried Franz Wilhelm Deters in1844 (Glandorf). Frank 1814 1887, was a sailor whotraveled all over the worldfrom age 17 to 26. They had10 children; Anna Maria1830 or 1829 1909 mar-ried 1847 to John DiedrichGerdeman 1817 1890. Annawas also known as MaryAnn.They had 8 children. Clara1835 1877 married 1852to Joseph Hermiller 1822-1897. Joseph went on theCalifornia Gold Rush. Theyhad eight children; MariaAnna 1839 1909 married1856 to Theodore Ellerbrock1827 1907. They had sevenchildren; Henry Recker (sixthchild of Gerhard and AnnaMaria) b 1841, died priorto 1888. He married MaryGertrude Schwartzengreber in1862 in Glandorf. They hadtwo children; Maria TheresaRecker 1843 1870 married1865 to Bernard J. Lammers1839 1914. Theresa died atage 28, leaving two children.Gernard married second toMary Verhoff in 1872; AnnaCatharine Recker 1846 1922married 1866 to GerhardKleman 1846 1925. Theyhad 10 children.

Johan Christopher Heinrich(Henry) 1799 1890, bornin Hitzhausen, married 1824to Maria Engel Mehring.Maria Engel died 1843 atthe age of 45. They cameto America, presumably withthree children and had threemore in America.

The copy of the passenger list is 1838 for JohannHeinrich Redecker/Recker and Anna Marie Linckemeyer,along with their oldest son, Gerhard Heinrich, his wife,Anna Maraie and their four daughters.

Lifeline of Ohio

In honor of ValentinesDay, Lifeline of Ohio spokewith heart recipient DaveHunt, 48, about his trans-plant miracle in 2009 and thedepth of gratitude he has forhis donor. Daves heart-filledstory, in his own words fol-lows.

Opening my own winebar/bistro in Columbus wasmy lifelong dream. As anentrepreneur, I put a lot oflove and hard work into mak-ing that dream come true. Icut the ribbon on my bistro

in January 2008 and wasexcited for this new businessventure. On just the thirdday we were open, I noticedI had developed a cough.Not wanting it to worsen, Iwent in for what I thoughtwould be a brief visit to adoctor for some medication,but it turned into a devastat-ing diagnosis my heartwas failing.

Doctors at The Ohio StateUniversity Medical Centerfound my heart working atonly 10 percent of its nor-mal capacity. The only reasonthe hole in my heart hadntkilled me was because the

opening created a seal against

my chest wall. The doctorsimmediately implanted anartificial heart pump to keepme alive. Unfortunately,the heart pump failed and Iwas hurriedly placed on thenational transplant waitinglist to receive a new heart. Iwas in the hospital and fail-ing fast.

After only five days onthe waiting list, on January3, 2009, a miracle happened.My surgeon peeked throughthe curtain in the hospitalroom where I was waiting andannounced with a big smilethat we had a date for thatafternoon. I would receive theheart I so desperately neededto survive. He jokingly said itwas such a good heart that hewas thinking of keeping it allfor himself. I cannot begin todescribe the depth of my loveand gratitude to my donor fortheir ultimate gesture of kind-ness and generosity. Thereare no words. I hope and

pray my donor family takes

comfort in the fact that theirloved one is a hero he savedmy life.

My new heart has allowedme an unbelievable full,healthy recovery. If the hearttruly is the catalyst of love,than my new heart deliveredthrough a new love. Thanksto my transplant, I have expe-rienced love with a wonder-ful woman named Michelle,who I met when she was anurse on the intensive carefloor where my recovery tookplace. We have four daugh-ters between us and are trulyblessed to be beginning a newlife with our new family.

February is a time toreflect on loves impact onour individual lives andserves as a reminder to openour hearts to love. My heart isfull of love for so many rea-sons a love for my donor,a love for my gift, a love formy new wife and our familyand a true love of life.

My hero, my organ donor,gave me the chance to liveand love again.

Geise, Clark paceJays over Flyers

By JIM METCALFE

[email protected]

MARIA STEIN MarionLocal presented a large prob-lem for the St. Johns boys bas-ketball team Friday night insideThe Hangar of Marion LocalHigh School in Maria Stein.

The Blue Jays had to battle afront line of 6-9 Luke Knapke,6-6 Adam Bertke and6-5 Ryan Bruns.

The did a fairlygood job in build-ing a 27-11 halftimelead in their MidwestAthletic Conferenceclash.

Then when the

Flyers made a runto get within twomidway through thefourth period, seniorCurtis Geise took over in lead-ing the Blue Jays to a 53-41victory.

Geise led all scorers with23 markers, including 7-of-8shooting from the free-throwline; that led a 14-of-16 nightoverall (87.5%). Eric Clarkadded 13.

The Flyers (5-10, 0-5 MAC)went inside to good effect in thefirst period, especially findingBertke. He scored eight pointsout of his team-leading 14 inthe span, with Knapke scor-

ing the other three on a hoop-and-harm. However, the Jaysman-to-man and matchup zonemix forced six turnovers (17overall) and Clark (6 points)and Geise (5) got them rolling.Clarks 3-ball from right of thekey at 3:00 gave them the leadfor good at 12-9. When seniorCole Fischbach followed amiss with 1:03 show-ing, that put the Jaysup 17-11.

St. Johns started6-of-12 shooting in theperiod (17-of-38 over-all, 5-of-17 downtown,for 44.8%) against theLocal 1-2-2 zone, with

Bertke at the top ofthe zone to bother theshooters.

The Flyers, who were5-of-10 from the floor in thefirst canto (16-of-39 for thegame, 2-of-13 beyond the arc,for 41.0%), saw their offensego dead in the second. Theymissed all four fielders and onefree throw, adding five errors.The Jays werent exactly onfire 4-of-8 but effec-tive enough to build a 27-11 asGeise hit an NBA trey from thekey with 3.1 ticks on the board.

I felt we executed ourdefensive game plan most ofthe game. We applied great ball

pressure to try and make passesdifficult and that was particular-ly effective the second period,St. Johns coach Aaron Elwerbegan. We made enough playsto build the halftime lead. Thething is, with our lack of size,we arent going to be able tokeep them from getting the ballin the paint all night long butwe did limit them. We alsodidnt get killed on the boards,which was another key.

For Marion coach KurtGoettemoeller, the second peri-od was part of a season-longtrend.

We started off OK the firstperiod; we got the ball inside.The second period, we haventfigured out how to play hardfor 32 minutes, he explained.I think when we do that, whenwe figure that out, we are goingto be a very good basketballteam. I also blame myself forrunning a zone offense againsttheir matchup zone instead ofjust attacking them.

Despite the Flyers break-ing their field-goal and scoringdrought (10:22) on a lob pass toKnapke at 7:38, the Jays (11-4,5-1 MAC) extended the lead to

20 points (35-15) in the third

on two singles by Seth Bockeyat 3:32. The Flyers then startedto get the ball inside with a ven-geance, with Bruns scoring sixof his eight points in the spanand Bertke four. When Knapkehit two freebies at 2/1 ticks, theFlyers were within 35-27.

Geise scored the first bas-ket of the fourth canto on a

breakaway at 7:46 butthe Flyers continuedto take advantage oftheir size in the paint.They got within 39-37on a 3-ball from theright corner by JacyGoettemoeller at5:03. However, Jays

senior Ryan Buescheranswered with a 4-foot-er in transition at 3:53and Geise stepped up

even more, dropping in eightof his 10 fourth-period pointsin the final 3:00. That includedfour free throws as the Jaysfinally salted the game away.

In sum, much-smaller St.Johns stayed even on the glass,only getting outboarded 27-21(8-4 offensive) as Buescherhad six and Geise five. Geiseadded four steals. They con-cluded with nine errors and 16fouls and will visit Lincolnviewtonight.

They made a concerted

effort to get the ball inside thesecond half. They made thatrun in the second half and thenCurt took over, Elwer added.We trust him to make gooddecisions with the ball; thatswhat you expect out of yoursenior leader. We got a nice winin a hostile environment on theroad.

Marion Local hit7-of-9 from 15 feet(77.8%); were led onthe glass by Bertkesnine and Knapkes six;and added 12 fouls.

I just love thesekids in that lockerroom; they could have

rolled over the secondhalf but they werentraised that way,

Coach Goettemoeller added.When we got it down to two,Geise simply took over. He isso strong for a 5-10 player andhe got our guys off their feetand got to the basket. He is ableto score over taller players.

In junior varsity action,Dustin Seitz scored 18 andCollin Mescher 14 to pace theFlyers to a 38-36 triumph.

The Blue Jays (6-9, 2-4MAC) received 14 by juniorAaron Hellman (4 treys).

Controversial 3rd quarter leadsWildcats over Ottoville Big Green

By BOB WEBERThe Delphos [email protected] - Friday night,

the Ottoville Big Green trav-eled to Kalida for their annualPutnam County League gamewith the Wildcats.

Over the years, this gamehas usually been crucial inwho wins the league but thisnight, despite both teamsstruggling to find wins, thegame still drew a great crowdfrom both schools.

The Wildcats used a strongsecond-half performanceto claw their way back anddefeat the Big Green 46-40.

The first quarter saw theWildcats put the first twopoints on the board as juniorJoe Gerdeman connectedwith a shot in the lane to givethe home squad an early 2-0lead. The Big Green stormedright back to take a 4-2 leadon a basket by sophomoreBrandt Landin and twofoul shots by junior LukeSchimmoeller. Wildcatsjunior Adam Langhals drilleda deep three from the leftside to give his squad backthe lead 5-4 at the 4:05 mark.The Big Green rattled offthe next seven points andheld the Wildcats to only twomore points in the quarterto take a lead 11-7 after oneperiod of play.

In the second quarter, both

teams struggled to add totheir respective point totals aseach tallied seven in the quar-ter. The Big Green was led bySchimmoeller with four andsophomore Austin Honigfordwith a 3-ball. The Wildcatstallied two points from start-ers: senior Cody Mathew andsophomore Devin Kortokrax;and received three points intotal off the bench from ColeMiller and Randy Zeller. Asboth teams headed to the

locker room, the Big Greenmaintained their 4-point mar-gin, 18-14.

The third quarter was avery decisive and controver-sial quarter of play that foundseveral key events occurringon the sideline of the Kalidabench. At the 4:30 mark, aKalida assistant varsity coachwas whistled for a technicalfoul for disputing a call or no-call. Big Green seniorRyan Honigford stepped tothe line and connected onboth foul shots. After anoth-er 45 seconds had expiredin the quarter, the refereesonce again warned the Kalidabench that the coaching staffwas to stay seated. What hap-pened next was the very con-troversial aspect of the quar-ter: Kalida head coach DickKortokrax not liking what hehad heard, not only stood upbut ventured past the scor-ers table all the way downto in front of the Ottovillebench to discuss things withthe official. Normally, aftersuch a warning to the bench,the result is usually a secondtechnical being assessed butthe officials did not assess theKalida bench with one anddiscussed things with CoachKortokrax.

Ottoville head coachTodd Turnwald was amazedwith what he witnessed: Idont think in 35 years, Ive

never seen where an oppos-ing coach can walk all theway across the floor, down toanother guys bench, and notechnical be called, or noth-ing. The message given tome by the referee was thathe had a question. Now therewas already one technical onthe bench, so the rules arethat coaches remain seatedthe rest of the game and theywere up numerous times andit should have been a techni-

cal every time they stood up.A coach can get up, walk allover the court and nothing at that point it was totallyout of our hands - anythingwent.

For the quarter, theWildcats outscored the BigGreen 8-2 and led by a scoreof 22-20 going into the fourth.

The fourth quarter saw theWildcats continue to roll withthe momentum they pickedup in the third quarter andstretched their lead out to28-22 at the 5:33 mark. TheWildcats leading scorer,senior Austin Horstman, whowas held scoreless in the firsthalf, spearheaded the Wildcatcomeback as he netted 16points in the second half. TheWildcats sealed the victoryfrom the charity stripe as theywent 13-19 (68%) in the finalstanza and came away with acomeback win.

Coach Turnwald waspleased with how hard histeam fought through all theadversity this night: Ourkids fought; we missed someshots, especially in the sec-ond half, but we definitelybattled. We held Horstmanscoreless in the first half. Hegot a lot of foul shots in thefourth because we needed tofoul and he stepped up andconnected on them, but fromthe field we were able tohold him to only three made

shots and I give our kids a lotof credit on the defense wethrew at him tonight.

The Wildcats (5-10, 3-2PCL) were led by Horstmans16 points on the night. TheWildcats shot a very respect-able 50 percent (12-24) frominside the arc; however, theywere only 22 percent (2-9)beyond the arc and 67 per-cent (16-24) from the stripe.The Wildcats hauled down 17boards and committed eight

turnovers.The Big Green (6-11,

1-3 PCL) were led bySchimmoeller with 13 points,followed closely by Landinwith eight. The visitors shot32 percent from the field bygoing 7-22 from inside thearc and 5-16 from 3-pointland. The Big Green was anexcellent 11-12 (92%) fromthe charity stripe. The Greenonly had 12 turnovers for thegame and hauled down 22boards.

The Big Green will nextplay Tuesday night as theyhost Fort Jennings.

The Wildcats will hostWayne Trace tonight startingwith a 6:30 JV game.

The JV game went to theWildcats 22-10.

Bulldogs win battle of WBL boys unbeatens vs. TitansBy Charlie Warnimont

DHI [email protected]

ELIDA Everyoneknows Dakota Mathias isgoing to get his points.

But when teams try to takehim out of the offense, theBulldogs need other playersto step up.

Thats what the Bulldogsgot Friday night as theyhosted Ottawa-Glandorf in abattle of Western BuckeyeLeague unbeatens.

Elida received a number

of contributions throughout

the lineup as the Bulldogsknocked O-G from the ranksof unbeaten in the WBL witha 71-64 win on the UnionBank Court inside the ElidaFieldhouse.

The win moves theBulldogs to 6-0 in the leagueand 11-7 overall as they aretied with Bath for the top spotin the WBL. O-G slipped to5-1 in the league and 14-2overall.

Mathias had another bignight for the Bulldogs tossingin 30 points. But he got plenty

of help as Louis Gray scored

13, Aric Thompson had nine,while Austin Allemeier andMax Stambaugh both hadseven points.

This is what is going tomake a difference for therest of our season is thoseguys making shots, Elidacoach Denny Thompsonsaid. Dakota has done anice job of taking on doubleteams and a couple of pos-sessions there, it looked likeour practice because that iswhat we have been workingon. Tonight, it started to pay

dividends as people started

knocking down shots. I cantsay enough about our effort.The help arrived early

and late for the Bulldogs.While Mathias had 10 pointsfor the Bulldogs in the open-ing quarter, Gray had fourfirst-quarter points, whileStambaugh stepped up andhit a 3-pointer that had Elidaleading 16-10. The Titanswent on a 7-0 run as TJMetzger scored five straightpoints and Noah Bramlageknocked down a jumper thatgave O-G their only lead of

the night at 17-16. A Mathias

3-pointer gave the Bulldogs a19-17 lead going to the sec-ond quarter.

Elida threatened to pullaway from O-G in the sec-ond quarter as they tooka 28-20 lead on two freethrows by Austin Allemeierand a basket by Stambaugh.The Titans offense struggledin the second quarter againstthe Bulldogs 3-2 zone andthe fact they played sevenminutes of the quarter with-out senior forward MichaelRosebrock (3 fouls) and four

minutes of the quarter with-

out center Noah Bramlage (2fouls).Through five and a half

minutes of the quarter, theTitans had just three pointsbefore Caleb Siefker found anopening and knocked down a3-pointer. The Bulldogs tooka 7-point lead into halftimeafter Allemeier hit two freethrows after Kaufman hit a3-pointer for O-G.

We were planning onswitching up defenses,Thompson said of the zone.
