A FAMILY AFFAIR ... The executive staff poses for a picture in commemoration of
Artesians fifty years of service. Front Row: Joseph Burt, Anna Burt. Second row:
Briggs Fiser, Jodi Fiser V.P holding Gia Fiser, Quintyn Burt, McCrea Kidston VP
holding Ziva Kidston. Back Row: Josh Fiser VP, Michael Kidston VP, Ed Kidston,
CEO, Owner holding Emmi Burt, Ann Kidston Owner, Kati Burt VP, Ryan Burt VP.
Basically, we were a lot like Culligan,
Ed Kidston, current Chief Executive Officer
of Artesian, recalled.
Graduating from Tri-State University,
better known as Trine today, in 1981, Ed
immediately immersed himself in the family
business. It was his idea to expand the
business, with a special focus placed on
serving municipalities. This strategy led to
Artesian building water systems for several
small towns,
Today, the company has serviced
hundreds of municipalities.
When Ed, who bought out the shares of
his three brothers, Bob, Bill, and John, was
in his twenties, he set a goal for himself.
His aim was to build at least one water
treatment plant in each of Ohios eightyeight counties. Since then, that has not
only happened, but Artesian has done so
much more.
Weve
expanded
our
footprint
dramatically, Kidston stated
Doing business mostly east of the
Mississippi River, Artesian has recently
taken a client further west, expanding
its reach even further. The company has
representative firms in fifteen different
states, including Ohio, Indiana, Michigan,
Pennsylvania, Illinois, Wisconsin, West
Virginia, Kentucky, New York, Missouri,
Kansas, Iowa, Georgia, and both North and
South Dakota.
While there is a tendency for Artesians
clients to be small towns with populations
of 20,000 people or less, the water firm
isnt afraid to hunt bigger game, so to
speak. Recently, the city of South Bend,
Indiana examined its options for providing
the cleanest water for its 100,000 or so
residents, testing filters from all over the
world.
They chose the M.A.R.I.S. Media filter, a
product unique to Artesian.
M.A.R.I.S. was so named due to the fact
that it will efficiently remove manganese,
arsenic, radon, iron, and sulfur from water
supplies. Its merely one of many innovative
ideas pursued by Artesian of Pioneer.
Weve always thought outside of the
box, claimed Kidston.
Indeed, Artesian is one of the very few
companies offering the service of recycling
water to its clients.
Rates have quadrupled, Kidston said
of water and sewage prices, and (they) will
quadruple again in the next ten years.
Which is exactly why Artesian has moved
into the water recycling field. They can take
water that would normally by dumped with
sewage, treat it, and sell back the water at a
higher quality for a reduced cause.

a stronger, safer bridge that would once again allow safety crews to reach the barn
in the park that is often used for concerts, weddings, and family get-togethers.
Donations from the Williams County FOP, Ladds Logging, Hallett Aviation, and
the Hillside Aeromodelers, the Eagles and the Moose were used to help fund the
project. Assisting Saturday were Jim Rupp and Scoutmaster Russell Luke, Volkan
Alemdar, Noah Conklin, Jared Rediger, and Tyler Rupp of troop 1125.

Harry Hooyenga visited the Stryker Rotary club giving greetings from district 6600.
He also presented a program on Rotary efforts to eliminate Polio. In 1985 when
Rotary took on this project there were 1,000 new cases of polio reported each
and every day around the world. This year 250 cases have been reported for the
entire year to date. The task is close to being complete but some areas of the world
are more difficult to work. The original goal was very lofty; to totally eradicate
the disease in 20 years. Many skeptics said it was impossible, and while much
progress was made in the first twenty years the goal was not met. Rotary did not
abandon the idea and continues the fight. Polio is preventable with immunization
that can be administered at a very low cost. Today the largest obstacle to providing
the immunization is in Pakistan. Many recent cases of polio reported outside of
Pakistan can be traced back to Pakistan. Harry told of the most recent efforts
to gain financial support as well as volunteers to assist with administering the
drugs in other countries. District 6600 raised enough money in 2013 to immunize
750,000 children and is asking that all clubs pledge at least $1,000 toward the
effort this year. This would equate to $25 for each Rotarian. Harry, pictured on the
right, spoke as a guest of Stryker Rotary member Pastor Dane Meuschke.

years ago and purchased a house on the corner of Curtis and King Streets. Mark
worked for a local contractor and totally remodeled the house over a several year
period of time. Mark was encouraged by several local people to start his business
when they had seen his work. He began the business thinking he would limit the
projects he took on, but has become more comfortable working on larger projects.
He is willing to take on any type of remodeling job, and he is especially fond of

Ebie Duo Give Tremendous
Performance At Fayette Opera House
~Tom Spiess
A SPOUSAL DUET ... Brian and Laura Ebie perform together at the historic Fayette Opera House. Brian works the Mason and Hamlin while Laura plays her flute.
BRAVO! ... Brian Ebie applauds Laura for her rendition of Bless This House, a
song she sang with an old fashioned, power house opera voice.
By: T.J. Hug
Working an intricate
series of pedals in
addition to the three
levels of keys, Ebie
intricately manipulated
the complex machine as
he played iconic hymns
during his tribute to
Thanksgiving.
Ebie wasnt alone
throughout the show,
though. For a majority
of the time, his wife
Laura accompanied him
on her flute, creating a
beautifully harmonious
sound which echoed off
the walls of the Opera
House. She also played
a duet with him on a
different organ, and sang
a gorgeous rendition
of Bless This House
in a traditional opera
performance,
varying
between
degrees
of
softness and power.
In total, the two artists
played twelve songs, with
an intermission taking
place in the middle. The
theme of the concert was
Songs of Thanksgiving.
Some of the more familiar
pieces played include

Finding The Right Preschool
Parents know that choosing a preschool for their children is a decision not to be taken lightly. Preschools are
often a childs first extensive experience away from home,
and the right school can help kids make that transition
more smoothly. When looking for a preschool for their
kids, parents may want to employ the following tips.
Make preschool a priority. Procrastinating with regard to finding a preschool carries considerable risk.
Many of the best preschools have only a limited number
of spots available. So it behooves parents to begin their
search for a preschool as early as possible.
Ask around. Fellow parents make for great resources
as parents look for a preschool for their children. Ask
parents of current preschool children or even older kids
who attended preschool to share their impressions of a
given facility and share their insights as to a facilitys

The Buckeye Border FCA staff would like to simply say Thank You and may God bless each and
every one of you this special season.
Ever since I first heard of your strong faith in the
Lord Jesus and your love for Gods people everywhere,
I have not stopped thanking God for you. I pray for you
constantly. Ephesians1:15-16
This is a great time of the year to be reminded to
give thanks for all things. We should not only thank the
Lord our God for meeting our needs of food and shelter,
but also for friends and family that encourage us with
their words, their knowledge, and their testimony of
Gods faithfulness. It is during the times when we are
not seeing things clearly that we can be inspired and
refocused by the faith of others and show thanks to
God for their example. The Buckeye Border FCA office
would like to take this moment and thank God for all
who have clearly inspired and invested in the ministry
of FCA.
Home Team Donors - There are quite a few of you
who give monthly to our office. Your monthly giving
gives us peace and confidence in making plans to minister. There are some of you who give annually, thank
you. Your gift comes in those moments when we wonder if we are going to get through the month. And then
we praise God for those unexpected donors. On occasion we are praying for our daily bread and a check
comes in the mail that we didnt expect. Whether it is a
monthly, annual, unexpected gift, or simply a one time
donation-we thank God for your generosity and obedience to His calling.
Huddle Leaders - You are the point people who
heard God saying this school is your mission field!
Thank you for taking point and helping lead your school
campus FCA Huddle! Keep loving those students with
the love of God!
