After much discussion,
planning and waiting
the Coldwater Chamber
of Commerce Farmers
Market has come to
fruition. The site is the
Sycamore Group parking
lot at the corner of Ste.
Rte. 118 and Sycamore
Street from 9 a.m. 12
noon. If you missed the
rst two Saturday markets,
you will have a chance to
shop on the 13th, 20th
and 27th of August. It
is a friendly and almost
festive celebration among
friends and family. The
delay of the ripening
of corn, tomatoes and
peppers was apparent at
the rst Market gathering
but things were better on
the 13th with a visible
scramble for the fresh
produce. Other items
for sale included home
made baked goods of
pies, breads, cookies,
mufns and more. Quilts
and quilted items shone
in the sun along with
handmade furniture and
utility objects. There
was a booth of childrens
hair ornaments and
beautiful fairy costumes
or tutus. Art objects of
clay were for sale as well
as books, owers and
buttery hatching boxes.
Interested venders are
still welcome to join
the sellers at the future
markets.
The much-anticipated
Agricultural & Industrial
Heritage Center (AIHC)
was represented by
members who gave tours
and shared their vision
for the housing of the
museum to be located in
the former New Idea ofce
section. The committees
excitement for the project
is contagious and worth
hearing and seeing.

Celina Couple Receives Albert Heckler
Award from Cheryl Ann Programs
Louis and Dorothy Hoyng never imagined that theyd be-
come involved with Cheryl Ann Programs.
They were raising three happy, healthy boys in their Celina
home. Louie operated his custom upholstery shop next door,
and Dorothy worked in the high school cafeteria. They were a
typical family.
Then a very atypical thing happened. Their middle son,
Brian, was struck by lightning in 1981 when he was 16. With
that bolt out of the blue, the Hoyngs lives changed forever.
The odds of being struck by lightning are one in 280,000,
but the Hoyngs couldnt afford to spend much time thinking
about their terrible luck. They had a son who needed them
more than he ever had. The first years after Brians accident,
which left him with severe disabilities, were very difficult,
they said, as they searched for someone who could help them
help Brian.
Their school district helped as much as it could.Finally, then-
Superintendent Ralph Stelzer recommended a place the Hoyngs
knew about but had never visited as parents: Cheryl Ann.
Cheryl Ann was the best thing that ever happened to us,
Louie Hoyng said. It gave Brian his life back.
The people of Cheryl Ann helped Brian with his everyday
life. They gave him a place to go and jobs to do. He made new
friends, and enjoyed everything about his experiences there,
up to and including the bus ride out to Mud Pike.
When he would see Sam Morden (his bus aide) he would
just smile, and the people in Adult Day Services really knew
how to make him laugh, Dorothy Hoyng said.
It wasnt long before the Hoyngs were finding ways to re-
pay Cheryl Ann for its help. They were regular volunteers.
Louie Hoyng completed upholstery jobs for the unique
equipment used at Cheryl Ann, and often, said Superintendent
Mike Overman, Louie would forget to send us a bill. He
also served a term on the county MRDD board and was the
board president.
For all that, and for their tireless advocacy on behalf of
their son, the Hoyngs received the Albert Heckler Award at
the staff appreciation banquet in March. The award is given
each year to a Cheryl Ann family that exemplifies service and
advocacy.
The Hoyngs both served as good examples of first-rate
advocates for their son, Overman said. They rarely ever
missed a day spending time with him, and they always spoke
up to be sure his needs were being met. They were really spe-
cial parents for Brian, and really good supporters of our pro-
gram.
Brian Hoyng died in February 2008 at the age of 43. In the
years after the lightning strike he taught his family a lot about
patience, hope, endurance and acceptance. He introduced the
Hoyngs to a world they had only seen from the outsidebut it
was a world where they found welcome and acceptance.
We met some wonderful people during our years at Cheryl
Ann, Dorothy Hoyng said. They worked their hearts out
helping us with Brian.

Stateline Writers Meet
At the April meeting of the Stateline Writers Club, members read
profiles they had written about someone, living or dead or make-
believe, and member Eileen Whitsetts special activity of having mem-
bers combine pictures of particular scenes with a person or people
assigned to them to put into that scene brought interesting results.
Sue Miller and Gretchen Bollenbachers proposal for a special
meeting designed to attract new members was described and approved.
Members will be hosted by the Coldwater Public Library in June for
a reading of their best work.
At the next meeting, which will be on Saturday, May 16, mem-
bers will rehearse for their special program in June.
Stateline club members meet the 3rd Saturday of each month at
10 a.m. at the Celina Mercer County Library. Anyone interested in
coming to a meeting or becoming a member is cordially invited to
attend.
Celina Rotary Dog Park Dedicated
BY: BETTY LOU DENNEY/HALL
Opening day at the Celina Rotary Dog Park received
rave revues from the dogs. As the gates opened for the first
time on Tuesday May 12, dogs of all sizes were seen mak-
ing their way to the park to get a chance to run in over 3
acres of wide open spaces of the chain-linked fenced in
area. Small dogs area is an acre and the large dogs have
over 2 acres. The new park, which is one of newest and
biggest things happening in the State Parks around the coun-
try, was made possible due to the efforts of Deborha Borns,
Rotary Club President. Her friend, Darlene Lynskey, is also
working on getting a State Dog Park in her home town of
St. Marys. The two dog lovers along with many volunteers
worked many hours with the help of the State and Craig
Morton, who is the regional manager of Grand Lake St.
Marys. Together they cleared away debris from the previ-
ously unused land. The Park is located at the end of West
Bank Road
Deb Borns saw her idea come to life with the help of the
Celina Rotary Clubs major donation and businesses as well
as individuals who helped with labor and monetary dona-
tions. The idea came to her after visiting another dog park.
At the dedication ceremony Deb thanked many of the
people who made the park possible. Jeff Larmore, Past
Rotary President and Celina City Council Member spoke
as his 150 pound Newfoundland, Bentley checked out the
park. Jeff is also a large contributor to the park in honor of
the recovery of Bentley after he had been lost for several
days. Craig Morton, Regional Manager of State Park Gand
Lake St. Marys and John Hunter, Assistant Chief of the
Division of Parks and Recreation also spoke at the dedica-
tion ceremony. Deb concluded her speech with some wise
lessons that she has learned from her own dogs. A few of
which were: Never leave home without your leach and
your ID. If you stare at someone long enough, you will get
what you want. Last, if it is not wet and sloppy it is not a
real kiss.
One of the many visitors enjoying running free on dedi-
cation day was a lab /poodle mix owned by Dave Hochstien,
professor at Wright State University. He has other dogs at
home but decided to only bring one at a time. He com-
mented that this was the first time his dog had this much
exercise since he got him a year ago.
There are a few small problems to work out with the
park, such as the water faucet would not shut off and there
was a small hole under the fence in the small dog side of
the park, which of course was found by one of the little
furry visitors on dedication day. These problems will be
easily fixed. Memberships ($10) to Fur Ever Friends are
being sold to help with the upkeep of the park. The use of
the park is free to the public. One of the additions they
would like to have is benches added to the park for the
comfort of the owners.
The green stations placed around the fence for the dog
wastes were given at a discount by Florida based company
named DogiPot. Gary Brown, Assistant Operations Man-
ger, heard about the plans for the park and wanted to help
by giving discounts on the pots. The company has all Oxi-
biodegradable bags inside the pots for your dog waste. Gary
flew in from Florida to be a part of the ribbon cutting and
opening of the park. More of their products can be found
by going to: www.propet.org.
If visiting the park remember to follow the rules that are
posted at the entrance. Common sense is your guide such
as:
Dogs should have their current shots
The park has little dog and big dog sections, keep
dogs in their own spaces.
Dont leave dog unattended
Do not bring a dog that shows aggressive behavior
Keep small children under close supervision
Clean up after your own dog
Never bring a dog to the park that has an illness.
These are just a few precautions to remember. Check
the rules before entering the park and you and your dog
will have a great time The Park is open daylight to dark
everyday.

One World, Many Stories
program nishes with party
At the Stateline Writers
Clubs July meeting at
the Celina Mercer County
Library, Program Director
Eileen Whitsett said that
talking about putting the
cart before the horse can
apply to writing, too. She
said a good title is prob-
ably best left to the end of
a story giving one time to
think it over because that
name is so important, espe-
cially when it comes to get-
ting attention from publish-
ers and readers. She then
gave members a list of some
simple story plots and asked
them to come up with good
titles for the stories. As at
the June meeting, there were
lots of clever ideas, many
of which brought a lot of
laughter and enjoyment.
The monthly assignment
was to write something
that centered around ones

10 YEARS AGO (2001)
The law ofce of local
attorney David Wm. Bruns has
undergone a tuck point project
to restore the beauty of his ofce
on the rst oor and Coldwater
Jaycees on the second oor of the
former Peoples Bank building in
Coldwater. Bruns exclaimed the
cost of the tuck point job along
with replacement of the roof
and sidewalks exceeded what
he paid for the building almost
thirty years ago.
25 YEARS AGO (1986)
Juttes gave Pet Milk its only
loss of the season to capture the
1986 Coldwater Little League
Tournament Championship by
the score of 11-5. Juttes scored
ve runs in the third inning on
three walks and singles by Doug
Duerr, Rob Howell and Cecil
Ballard.
50 YEARS AGO (1961)
Rev. Hubert Clevenger,
returned missionary from the
coffee lands of western Brazil,
South America, will speak at
the Macedon Congregational
Christian Church on August 13.
Mr. Clevenger brings a fresh
report of this largest South
American Country through the
work of the Oriental Missionary
Society.
I came across an old
newspaper clipping the
other day that someone
passed along to me and I
felt I had to pass it on to
you readers. Please bear
with me as I am sure you
older readers will enjoy
this one.
The other day someone
at a store in our town read
that a Methamphetamine
lab had been found in an old
farmhouse in the adjoining
county and he asked me a
rhetorical question, Why
didnt we have a drug
problem when you and I
were growing up?
I replied I had a drug
problem when I was young:
I was drug to Church
on Sunday mornings. I
was drug to Church for
weddings and funerals. I
was drug to family reunions
and community socials no
matter the weather. I was
drug by my ears when I was
disrespectable to adults. I
was drug to the woodshed
when I disobeyed my
parents, told a lie, brought
home a bad report card,
did not speak with respect,
spoke ill of the teacher or
the preacher, or if I didnt
put forth my best effort in
everything that I was asked
of me.
I was drug to the kitchen
sink to have my mouth
washed out with soap if I
uttered a profanity. I was
drug out to pull weeds
in Moms garden and
owerbeds and cockleburs
out of Dads elds. I was
drug to the homes of family,
friends and neighbors to
help out some poor soul,
who had no one to mow the
yard, repair the clothesline
or chop some rewood,
and if my Mother had ever
known I took a single dime
as a tip for this kindness,
she would have drug me
back to the woodshed.
Those drugs are still in
my veins and they affect
my behavior in everything
I do, say, or think. They
are stronger than Cocaine,
Crack, or Heroin: and if
todays children had this
kind of drug problem,
America would be a better
place.
GOD BLESS THE
PARENTS THAT DRUG
US.
This is another one to
put on the refrigerator
door!!!
Thats My Opinion.........

Your 401(k) offers tax-deductible contributions, tax-deferred growth of
earnings potential and a variety of investment options so its a great tool
for building retirement savings. Yet like all tools, your 401(k) must be used
properly to get the best results. Thats why you should review your 401(k) at
least annually and make whatever adjustments are needed.
Depending on where you work, you may get some 401(k) review help
from your plan provider. But if that assistance isnt available, you might want to
consult with a financial professional to make sure youre getting the maximum
benefit from your plan.
As you begin to review your 401(k), your first question should probably
be this:
How much should I contribute? At the very least, try to put in enough to
receive your employers matching contribution, if one is offered. If you dont
earn this match, you are essentially walking away from free money. Beyond
this, though, the amount you put into your 401(k) might depend on what other
retirement savings vehicles you have available. For instance, if youre eligible,
you may also want to contribute to a Roth IRA, which offers tax-free growth
potential, provided youve had your account for five years and dont start
taking withdrawals until youre 59.
Of course, its not only how much you put into your 401(k) that determines
its success its also how you choose to allocate your investment dollars.
(Keep in mind that asset allocation does not guarantee a profit or protect
against loss.) Your 401(k) may have a dozen or more investment choices,
such as stock funds, bond funds and money market funds. To choose the right
investment mix, youll need to consider a variety of factors, including these:
Your age Generally speaking, the younger you are, the more
aggressive you can afford to be with your 401(k) investments, because
youll have decades in which to potentially overcome the inevitable down
periods of the market. As you get older, you may wish to invest somewhat
more conservatively, but youll still need some growth potential in your 401(k)
portfolio.
Your goals Everyone has different goals for retirement. You might
want to retire early and travel the world, while your co-worker desires to
work as long as possible and then, upon retirement, stay close to home and
pursue hobbies. Because you each have different goals, with different income
needs, you also may need to follow different investment strategies within your
401(k).
Your other retirement income sources If you have a variety of
retirement income sources a pension from another job, an IRA, a spouse
with generous retirement benefits you may need to invest differently,
perhaps less aggressively, than if you had fewer options for retirement
income.
Apart from putting away as much as you can into your 401(k) and
choosing the right investment mix, what else can you do to get the most out
of your plan? Heres a suggestion: If you have worked at various jobs and
acquired multiple 401(k)s, consider rolling them over into one account. You
might save money on fees and reduce paperwork, but more importantly,
youll be able to concentrate your resources and pursue a unified investment
approach, with your investment dollars working together toward your ultimate
retirement goals.
As you can see, a 401(k) review and rollover can reward you in many
ways so do whatever it takes to maximize your 401(k)s performance.

Just when you thought you could take a break from financial drama, following the
resolution of the debt ceiling issue, here comes Act 2: the downgrade of the U.S. long-
term credit rating. As a citizen, you may be feeling frustrated. And as an investor, you
might be getting worried. But is this concern really justified?
Certainly, it was news when Standard and Poors (S&P) lowered the U.S. long-
term credit rating from AAAto AA+. This was, after all, the first time that the U.S. has
lost its AAA status since its initial publication 70 years ago. Furthermore, S&P put a
negative outlook on the rating, which means that further downgrades are possible. But
despite these developments, theres no reason to think that the sky is falling in on the
investment world. Consider the following:
Downgrade doesnt mean default. Rating agencies such as S&P assign
ratings to bonds to help investors measure credit risk the chance that they wont
receive timely payments. The downgrade to AA+ just means that investors would
be slightly less likely to receive future payments than if the bond had an AAA rating.
This is far different from a default, which would result in investors not receiving current
payments.
U.S. credit rating is still high quality. S&P didnt change the U.S. governments
short-term credit rating, which applies to debt maturing in less than one year.
Furthermore, even the long-term rating of AA+ is still considered high quality. Also,
keep in mind that two other major rating agencies, Moodys and Fitch, both affirmed
their AAArating on the U.S., although Moodys has a negative outlook on its rating.
Downgrade was not a surprise. Because the downgrade had been rumored for
weeks, the financial markets may have already priced in some of the impact. While its
possible that interest rates may rise, its also important to note that similar downgrades
of other countries debt in the past have not resulted in significant rate jumps. As for the
stock market which was already volatile, partially due to the debt ceiling issue the
negative reaction weve seen to the downgrade will likely be short-term.
This downgrade should not be as calamitous as weve been led to believe.
Corporate profits, always a key driver of stock prices, are still strong, and with the
market correction weve seen in the past couple of weeks, many quality stocks now
appear to be more attractively priced which means it may actually be a good time
to look for investment opportunities that make sense for you, rather than head to the
sidelines.
In any case, you never want to overreact to any one piece of news. If you were to
make big changes to your investment strategy, youd likely incur fees and expenses
and, even more importantly, your portfolio might no longer be positioned to meet your
long-term goals. Youre much better off by sticking with a strategy thats based on your
individual needs, risk tolerance and time horizon. This can be challenging, especially
in light of the screaming headlines. But remember, although past performance isnt
indicative of future results, the U.S. financial markets have seen plenty of traumas in
the past, and have always survived and, usually, eventually prospered. As a smart,
disciplined investor, you can do the same.

The Joys of
Summer
The joys of summer: ice
cream, starlit nights, drive-
in movies, visits to The
Shack, lemonade, baseball,
watermelon, fairs, and
picnics. I could go on and
on.
As a child, I anticipated
the arrival of summer. I could
sleep in, ride my bike into
town, and since June, July
and August didnt have an r
in them, go barefoot. Three
months of no homework or
studying. There would be
corn on the cob and tomatoes
from the garden. As a parent,
I still looked forward to
summer. Eating popcorn
outside, long evenings, Kool-
Aid and afternoons spent at
the pool encompassed our
days. Then there was the
annual vacation and weekend
camping trips. Sometimes I
felt like a gypsy; I packed so
much during those months.
The kids played ghosts in
the graveyard and go to
court while I drank iced
tea and pushed the baby on
the swing. Later we would
catch lightning bugs. We all
have different memories, but
I bet I can conjure up some
similar recollections. Close
your eyesnot while youre
reading. and smell the
fresh cut hay. Can you see
the reworks and taste the
steak as you imagine the grill
heating up? What about a
campre and those smores?
These are the joys of summer.
January, February, and March
have fewer days than June,
July and August. But winter
goes much slower. Why is
that? Are we having more
fun living life to its fullest
when the days are longer
and the weather is warmer?
Yes, as I write, it is still
89 degrees with 75 percent
humidity. I am outside and
the streetlights have just
come on. I think there will
be a full moon. Summertime
and the living is easy. Oh
yes, theres grass to mow
and mosquitoes to swat, but
they dont hold a candle to
the joys. I hear the locusts
in the trees tonight. They
remind us that summer will
not last forever. At a festival
recently, we were offered
free freeze pops. Like when
you were a kid, the fellow
said. My daughters face lit
up. Shes twenty-four. Keep
Smiling.
If You Ask Me (And of
Course You Wont)
By: Betty White
Reviewed by: Georgia
Rindler

Betty White is hot. And
its not just her new series
Hot in Cleveland on the TV
Land network. At eighty-
nine years of age, she is
still going strong. Her latest
book is a compilation of
short essays on subjects that
are dear to her. Most people
remember her from the 80s
in the popular NBC sitcom,
The Golden Girls; which
cable TV has brought back
to life.
Some will remember
when she played Sue Ann
Nivens in The Mary Tyler
Moore Show, back in the
70s. And a few of us
will recall her quick wit
and intelligence on game
shows such as Whats My
Line?, Match Game, and
her frequent appearances
on Password. She made her
television debut in 1949
on a Los Angeles variety
show entitled Hollywood
on Television.
Before that she had a
successful career in radio.
The woman has not stopped
in over 60 years! Shes
authored several books
before this one, and has
appeared in numerous
movies. In between, she has
been a guest on episodes of
several TV series.
From reflections on
growing older, stories
from Hollywood, fan mail
and friends, Betty covers
it all. With humor and
integrity she has navigated
waters that have pulled
many an actress under.
A true animal lover, she
once turned down a role
because there was a scene
which disturbed her. The
movie went on to be very
successful. But she has no
regrets. She feels good that
she has said no for the right
reasons. In January 2010,
a campaign on Facebook
entitled Betty White to host
SNL (Please) surfaced.
By March, almost a half
a million people voted.
This was the same year
the Snickers commercial
ran as the rst spot during
the Super Bowl. Suddenly
everyone knew who Betty
White was (again.). I recall
watching her host Saturday
Night Live. She admitted
she didnt really know what
Facebook was, but thought
it was a gigantic waste of
time. Yet she was thankful
for all the fans that wanted
her on SNL. Honesty has
always been her policy.
Growing up, she wanted
to be a forest ranger or a
zookeeper. Not long ago,
she was made an Honorary
Ranger and continues to
spread the word that we
must protect our wilderness
areas. Working with the
Los Angeles SPCA, she
has been able to promote
adoption and responsible
pet ownership. Some
may think eighty-nine is
old. Recently nominated
for another Emmy; this
goes to show that you are
never too old to be good!
And shes not about to let
those climbing numbers
ruin the time thats left. In
the books foreword, she
says writing is her favorite
thing. With her celebrity
status, she has been able to
do more for animal welfare
and our natural resources
than if she would have
achieved her childhood
dreams. Yet shes legendary
because she said yes to
a little experiment called
television. Its funny how
life works out sometimes.
Bettys latest undertaking
is available in large print
and in audio version: 920

Camping at Mercelina Park
for the Celina Chautauqua
Assembly was the Place
to be, during the summers
between 1905 and 1914. Across
the Nation, the Chautauqua
Movement, with lectures in arts,
science, humanities and religion,
began in 1874 in New York, and
lasted until 1924.
The First Chautauqua held in
Celina was held the last week of
July 1905. Milton W. Brown of
Cincinnati was the Manager of
the event. I also have copies off
the 1906 and 1910 Chautauqua
Assemblies, and Brown served
as Manager. In fact, three
other men served as Ofcers,
throughout that decade: Ira
Crampton, Secretary; Edmund
Brandtz, Treasurer, and J.E.
Hamberger, Superintendent of
Grounds.
The 1905 Religious programs
included Rev. Sam Jones, the
famous Georgia preacher, and
Rev. John Robertson of London.
One Literary program was by
Father Vaughn, the dramatic
orator, who gave a lecture on
Shakespeare. Professor Holden,
the Iowa Corn Wizard, gave
up-to-date instructions to farmers.
Alexander Tarrs address carried
wit and sarcasm, which kept the
audience in a roar of laughter.
Everyone recognized the three-
time Presidential Candidate
William Jennings Bryan. Bryan
was escorted to the ground by a
quartette of leading Democrats,
and was introduced to the
audience by Judge Armstrong.
Maud Ballington Booth, head of
the Salvation Army in America,
delivered an address. Choirs,
Quartets, and Bands were part
of the daily presentations. The
1905 Carolina Jubilee singers
were good entertainers. The
Roehr Concert Company were
favorites with the audience.
The Mendelssohn Quartette
also entertained the crowds. In
Mercer County, the Chautauqua
Programs carried similar
programs, 1905 1914. World
War I may have caused the close
of the Chautauqua in Mercer
County.
The Chautauqua Programs
contained local advertisements.
The 1906 Chautauqua Program
carried advertisements from the
following businesses: Palmer
& Miller Grain Mill; Wyckoff
Bros. Druggists; J.E. Hamburger
Real Estate Agency; Estry &
Stephenson Lumber Co.; Mrs.
Henry Schunck, Jeweler and
Optician; F.C. Stark Clothing;
TouVelle, Johnston, and Rush,
Dentists; McDaniel Furniture;
Gottlieb, Tailor; Hotel Ashley;
Brunswick Restaurant;
Leifeld Carriages; McComb
Roong; Rileys Drug Store;
D.C. Freeman, Osborne Farm
Implements Agent, and Gibney
Plumbing and Heating. The
1910 Chautauqua Program
carried similar advertisements.
The 1910 Chautauqua
Program carried a map of Celina
Chautauqua Grounds. This is
the only Map I have ever seen
of the Chautauqua Grounds.
This site is at the grounds of the
Mercelina Park. At Celina, one
may drive south on Cherry Street
or go east on Fayette Street,
and meet the former Railroad
tracks site. South East of the
railroad crossing was the site
of the Chautauqua Grounds.
For those who keep records of
the many designated names of
Grand Lake St. Marys, this 1910
map designated the Lakes name
as Grand Reservoir.
Cincinnati Businesses also
advertised in these Chautauqua
Programs. My favorite Cincinnati
advertisements were the Erkins
Art Glass Col., Manufacturers
of Art Stained Glass, and P.L.
Mueller, Fresco Artist. Were
these businesses involved in
making Stained Glass windows
for local churches or homes?
Was Mueller the Fresco Artist
for local churches or homes?
The Mercer County Historical
Museum, the Riley Home, built
in 1896, has two colorful stained
glass windows and I have not yet
learned where the windows were
made. Several homes throughout
the County have stained glass
windows; do you know anything
about them?
The Ohio Humanities Council
and The Ohio State Universitys
Humanities Institute are bringing
the Ohio Chautauqua Series back
to life. For information, contact

OFF THE WALL
Observations ... by John Bruns
TELL THE
WEATHERMAN
High school fall sports
in Ohio are well underway.
The football teams will
be having their first
scrimmages this weekend,
the lady volleyball athletes
have been practicing
and scrimmaging since
August first, the cross
country runners will
start competition on
August 22, and the high
school golfers have had
numerous matches already
in the books. The people
not on the same page
with the athletes are the
weathermen. Although
the state refers to these
activities as fall sports,
temperatures in the 90s
and humidity one can
wear, is not my definition
of fall. The early start
for the autumn sports is
the responsibility of the
Ohio High School Athletic
Association. There is
some confusion as to who
we should blame for the
heat, global warming,
the jet stream, etc. The
OHSAA is actually
worried about the weather,
but not the current heat
and humility and its effect
on the kids. Instead they
are concerned about the
potential snow, wind, or
blizzard conditions during
the 15th week of the high
school football season.
The weather can be nasty
during the second week of
December in Massillon and
Canton. The state finals
in golf were rescheduled
from the third week in
October a few years ago
because of a Columbus
snow storm. Are the state
officials trying to schedule
too much into a limited
time frame? There
was widespread, if not
universal, relief among
Reds fans when the front
office people did not offer
Aaron Harang a contract
this baseball season. They
obviously did not believe
he had any value as a
pitcher and did not attempt
to deal him; they just said,
Goodbye. Harang came
to the Reds in 2002 from
Oakland and in a couple
of years became the ace
of the staff on many years
of losing teams. It was
in 2008 when things went
south for the big right
hander. He won only six
each year from 2008 to
2010 while losing 38. He
became Homer Harang
giving up 35 long balls
in 208, 24 in 2009, and
15 in limited action in
2010. To the surprise
of many, he won a spot
on the San Diego Padres
roster and a place in the
starting rotation. The
Padres are in last place
in the western division,
but Harang is 10 and 3 at
this point of the season.
Some veteran baseball
people explained things
in term of the dimensions
of ball parks and ball
flight characteristics in
Cincinnati versus San
Diego. Harang is a fly
ball pitcher and Cincinnati
is very home run-friendly
while San Diego has
distant fences, cooler air,
and long fly ball outs. It
is reasonable to explain
Harangs success in
term of his home field
characteristics. The
figures however, show
that Harang has a 5 and
3 record in his spacious
home park, but a 5-0
record on road games. He
has given up 7 home runs
at home and only 4 on the
road. I am sure Harang
prefers the bigger park,
but the stats indicate he
is having more success on
the road than home this
year. Harang attributes
his success with some
changes in mechanics
the coaches made during
spring training. It is a
shame that the Reds could
not have tried something
like that about three years
ago.

Whats Happening
around the Fort

Nancy Knapke, director of
the Fort Recovery Museum, is
asking for a copy of the book
by Tony DeReganaucourt
titled The Archaeology of
Fort Recovery If you have a
copy of this book, please drop
it off at the museum and they
will refund your purchase price
of $12.
A portrait has been found in
the attic of Marty Fullenkamp.
It was brought to the museum by
Christa and Todd Fullenkamp.
They would like to identify
the two young children in the
picture. Christa thinks they
are members of the Ontrop
family who previously owned
the Reinhard home located
at 2959 Reinhard Road. The
old portrait is hanging in the
log cabin in Fort Recovery. If
you think you might be able
to identify the people in the
picture, stop by and take a
look.
Be sure to thank Dr. Vaughn
and wife Carolyn for the
beautiful owers and containers
around the town. Along with
nephew, Eric Jutte, they have
single handedly taken on the
project of raising the plants and
with the generous donations
from the businesses in the area
have bought the containers and
have taken care of the beautiful
owers on Wayne Street.

The growing popularity of

topics will be the focus of a

sored by the Ohio Farm Bu-
reau Federation.
The first ever Grow and
Know Days will be held

at the Bob Evans Farm in Rio
Grande. The event is billed as
a how-to seminar for property
owners, animal lovers, gar-
deners and food enthusiasts.
Its going to be a great day
of hands-on learning, said
Cara Lawson, promotion spe-
cialist for Ohio Farm Bureau
and one of the coordinators
for the event. This program-
ming is in direct response to
members wanting this sort of
information.
Attendees will be able to
select four different breakout
sessions with topics including
gardening, backyard egg pro-
duction, horse ownership,
food preparation and preser-
vation, fruit and nut tree man-
agement, property protection,
herb production, fence and
barn maintenance, beekeep-
ing and more.

mation, program descriptions

tions.

dition to farmers, members

wine enthusiasts, animal own-
ers, and anyone who enjoys

Fresh Country Air
MATT REESE
My job as an agricultural
journalist is fun because it al-
lows me to travel this fascinat-
ing state on a regular basis, of-
ten on Ohios 26 beautiful des-
ignated scenic byways (five of
which have a national designa-
tion). The five National Scenic
Byways in the state highlight
some of the states finest fea-
tures, including Ohios bounti-
ful agricultural production.
Lake Erie Coastal National
Scenic Byway
June is wine month and there
is no better route in the Midwest
to travel for fine wines than
Ohios northern coast. Ohios
wine business is booming and
gaining more international rec-
ognition every year for its high
quality wine production along
the temperate shores of Lake
Erie.
This route also offers ample
natural attractions for fishing
and bird enthusiasts and the
thrill-seeking appeal of Cedar
Point. Roller coasters, walleye
and wine, how can you go
wrong?
Historic National Road
National Scenic Byway
Much of this byway is lined
with interesting agricultural at-
tractions. Dull Homestead Farm
in Montgomery County features
a diversified operation including
hogs and seed corn, but the real
attention getter is the farms tow-
ering windmills and dedication to
renewable energy. The Dulls
have a visitors center to inform
guests about the farm. Devine
Farms and Pigeon Roost Farm in
Licking County offer pumpkins
and a myriad of fun family ori-
ented activities in the late sum-
mer and fall. The trip through
Belmont County passes near the
states largest Christmas tree
farm run by the Feisley family.
The renowned Dickinson Cattle
Co. Longhorn Cattle Ranch is

Amish Country National
Scenic Byway
Few routes through Ohio of-
fer more picturesque glimpses of
modern and Amish agriculture
than this byway winding through
the heart of the nations largest
Amish community in and around
Holmes and Wayne counties.
Grazing dairy cattle, rolling hay
fields and plenty of down home
Amish appeal (and merchandise)
attract many visitors each year.
Ohio leads the nation in Swiss
cheese production, and ranks
high in other types of cheese pro-
duction, largely due to this region
of the state.
Ohio River National Scenic
Byway
It is hard to beat the rolling
landscape, charming towns, his-
torical and agricultural attractions
that ooze from this 452-mile
route along the Ohio River
through 14 counties. A few of my
favorite stops along the way, or
nearby the designated byway, in-
clude Sweetapple Farms (agri-
tainment), Stacy Family Farms
(strawberries) and Grimms
Green Acres (apples) in Washing-
ton County; the bridge from
Galia County to Point Pleasant,
West Virginia, home of the mys-
terious Mothman that inspired a
book and movie; the appealing
murals in Portsmouth; and some
tasty Montgomery Inn ribs and a
Reds game in Cincinnati.
The Canal Way National
Scenic Byway
This byway runs from Cleve-
land to Dover along the path of the
Ohio and Erie Canal and offers
several agricultural destinations.

The recent salmonella
outbreak cases, including 10 in
Ohio and an 11-year-old child
in the Dayton area, are a good
reminder to take caution when
handling and preparing foods.
Proper food preparation
protects children and adults
against food borne illnesses
from bacteria such as E. coli,
Salmonella, Campylobacter,
and Listeria (which can cause
diarrhea, fever, abdominal
cramps, nausea, vomiting, and
dehydration).
You can keep your family
safe by using safety precautions
in selecting foods in the grocery
store, storing them properly
and cooking them safely, plus
cleaning up well afterward.
Dayton Childrens reminds
you about the following tips to
keep your kitchen safe and free
from food borne illnesses:
Buying Food
Buying safe food is the
rst step. To ensure freshness,
refrigerated items (such as meat,
dairy, eggs, and sh) should
be put in your cart last. Keep
meats separate from other items,
especially produce. If your drive
home is longer than 1 hour,
consider putting these items in a
cooler to keep them fresh.
When purchasing packaged
meat, poultry or sh, check the
expiration date on the label.
Even if the expiration date is still
acceptable, dont buy sh or meat
that smells or looks strange.
Also check inside egg cartons
make sure the eggs, which
should be grade A or AA, are
clean and free from cracks. Avoid
purchasing fruit with broken skin,
unpasteurized ciders or juices
and prestuffed fresh turkeys or
chickens.
Refrigerating and Freezing
Before you put the groceries
away, check the temperature of
your refrigerator and freezer.
Your refrigerator should be set
for 40 F (5 C) and your freezer
should be set to 0 F (18 C) or
lower. Cooler temperatures will
help keep bacteria in your foods
from multiplying.
Proper handling and cooking
guidelines will help prevent food
borne illnesses in your family:
Preparing and Cooking Fruits
and Vegetables
Wash all fruits and
vegetables with plain running
water (even if you plan on peeling
them) to remove any pesticide
residue, dirt, or bacteria. Scrub
rm produce, such as carrots,
cucumbers, or melons, with a
clean produce brush.
Wash melons, such as
cantaloupes and watermelons,
before eating to avoid carrying
bacteria from the rind to the knife
to the inside of the fruit.
Remove the outer leaves of
leafy greens, such as spinach or
lettuce.
Preparing and Cooking Raw
Meat, Poultry, Fish, and Egg
Products
Wash your hands with hot
water and soap before preparing
foods and after handling raw meat,
poultry, sh or egg products.
Keep raw meats and
their juices away from other
foods in the refrigerator and on
countertops.
Designate one cutting board
for raw meat, poultry and sh.
Use separate utensils for
cooking and serving raw meat,
poultry, sh or eggs.
Never put cooked food on a
dish that was holding raw meat,
poultry or sh.
Thaw meat, poultry and sh
in the refrigerator or microwave,
never at room temperature.
Cook thawed meat, poultry,
and sh immediately.
Throw away any leftover
uncooked meat, poultry, or sh
marinades.
Remove stufng from
poultry after cooking and store it
separately in the refrigerator.
Do not allow raw eggs to
sit at room temperature for more
than 2 hours to reduce the risk of
Salmonella infection.
Thoroughly cook eggs and
never serve foods that contain raw
eggs, such as uncooked cookie
dough, homemade eggnog,
mousse and homemade ice
cream. If you want to use these
recipes, substitute pasteurized
eggs (found in the grocery store's
dairy case) for raw eggs.
Cook meat until the juices
run clear.
Cook ground beef or poultry
until it's no longer pink.
Use a meat thermometer
to tell whether meats are
cooked thoroughly. (Place the
thermometer in the thickest
portion of the meat and away
from bones or fat and wash
the probe between uses.) Most
thermometers indicate at which
temperature the type of meat is
safely cooked, or you can refer to
these recommendations:
poultry (whole, pieces, and
ground): 165 F (73.8 C)
whole cuts (steaks, roasts
and chops) of beef, veal, pork
and lamb: 145 F (62.7 C) with
a 3-minute rest period before
carving or eating
ground beef, veal, pork and
lamb: 160 F (71 C)
sh: 145 F (62.7 C)
egg dishes: 160 F (71 C)
leftovers: at least 165 F
(74 C)
When cooking, broiling or
grilling meats on the stove, turn
them over at least once. In the
microwave, cover all meats and:
Turn patties over, stir or
rotate foods halfway through
cooking. Cook large pieces of
meat on medium (50%) power
for longer periods to ensure meat
is cooked in center.
Cooking times may vary so
use a food thermometer to be sure
food has reached a safe minimum
internal temperature.
Always allow standing
time, which completes the
cooking, before checking the
internal temperature with a food
thermometer.
Cleaning Up
Clean food is just one part
of the food safety equation. You
also need to be sure that your
kitchen surfaces and your hands
are clean to prevent the spread
of bacteria.
Refrigerate any leftovers as
soon as possible after cooking.
Consume leftovers within 3
to 4 days or throw them out.
Wash cutting boards
separately from other dishes and
utensils in hot, soapy water.
Don't use old cutting boards
with cracks or deep gouges
because bacteria may hide in the
crevices of the board.
Wash your hands if they
come in contact with raw meat,
poultry or sh.
Don't use a dish towel to
wipe your hands after handling
raw meat, poultry, sh or eggs
use paper towels instead.
After preparing food,
wipe your kitchen counters and
other exposed surfaces with hot
soapy water or a commercial or
homemade cleaning solution.
Consider using paper towels to
clean surfaces.
Because sponges stay
wet longer and their porous
quality attracts bacteria, experts
recommend using a thinner
dishrag that can dry between uses
instead of a sponge.
Wash dirty dishrags and
towels in hot soapy water.
Periodically sanitize
your kitchen sink, drain and
garbage disposal by pouring
in a commercial or homemade
cleaning solution.
Finally, hand washing is a
powerful way to guard against
salmonella and other food- borne
infections, so it's essential to
teach kids to wash their hands,
particularly after trips to the
bathroom and before handling
food in any way.
Taking these simple
precautions can reduce the
chance of food borne illnesses in
your family.
What if you suspect
salmonella?
A salmonella infection
generally causes nausea,
vomiting, abdominal cramps,
diarrhea (sometimes bloody),
fever, and headache. Because
many different kinds of illnesses
can cause these symptoms, a
stool sample may be taken to
make an accurate diagnosis. For

Randy Gasser, Ombudsman
Director, Ohio Employer
Support of the Guard and
Reserve, announced the Veterans
Employment and Education
Initiative, which will be held on
Thursday, August 18, 2011. The
event will be held at the Veterans
Memorial Civic and Convention
Center, Lima, Ohio.
Today, supportive employers
are critical to maintaining the
strength and readiness of the
nations Guard and Reserve units.
Providing a job to Americas
citizen warriors is one way we
can all help. I am asking all
Ohio employers to consider the
talents that a Guard or Reserve
member or spouse could bring
to their organization, said Bob
Mittelstaedt, Northwest Area
Chair of the ESGR.
This Job Fair is only open
to Guard, Reserve, Veterans and
their spouses. We currently have a
substantial number of employers
conrmed for this event, and are
working to obtain more yet.
We are targeting eight counties
in Northwest Ohio, which are:
Allen, Auglaize, Defiance,
Hardin, Mercer, Paulding, Putnam
and Van Wert. Current statistics
from the Ohio Department of
Veterans Services shows more
than 1320 unemployed veterans
between the ages of 18-45 in
these counties.
Numerous agencies from
both the State of Ohio and
Federal Government, along
with County Veterans Service
Ofce will be present to assist
Guard, Reserve & Veterans in
areas such as benets, schools,
disability questions, employment
assistance, resumes, starting a
new business, and much more.
There will be breakout
rooms for Resume Writing,
Interviewing, Dress for
Success, Cover and Thank
you letters, Networking, Job
Boards and the Small Business
Administration. Please bring
copies of your current resume
with you to this event. There is
no cost for employers, vendors,
Guard, Reserve, Veterans, or
their spouse to attend this event.
Veterans Representatives
from University of Northwestern
Ohio, Ohio Northern University,
Rhodes State College, The Ohio
State University, Apollo Career
Center and Vantage Career
Centers will be on hand to explain
programs and benets available.
Our mission for this event is to
bring together the resources, tools,
and educational opportunities,
along with employers, business
leaders and civic organizations
that can help with supporting
Guard, Reserve, Veterans &
their spouses in this time of
economic uncertainty. The
ESGR is focusing on connecting
employers with the talented pool
of service members and spouses,
with the intent of facilitating
meaningful employment and
educational opportunities.
Employers that want to help
support this event can send an
email to esgr@bright.net and one
of our Volunteer Coordinators will
contact you. Even if an employer
is not currently hiring due to
current economic conditions, we
encourage them to attend this
event and talk to those looking
for employment about the skills
sets they will more than likely be
looking for in the future.
Veried Proof of Veteran
status will be required to attend
this event. Any of the following
documents will suffice:
DD-214, Active/Reserve ID
Card, Retired Military ID Card,
Military Dependent ID Card,
VA Administration ID Card or
National Guard Forms (along
with photo ID required). If you do
not have a copy of your DD-214,
you may obtain a copy by going
to the National Archives Website
listed below.

for Guard and Reserve service.
ESGR advocates relevant
initiatives, recognizes outstanding
support, increases awareness of

The Ohio Department
of Development presented
Rockfords Neighborhood
Revitalization Project as the
states award winning project
at this years Ohio Conference
of Community Development
meeting. This was made
possible through a combined
effort of The Mercer County
Community Economic
Development Ofce and the
Village of Rockford. The
Design/Engineering rm of
Fanning/Howey was also
very instrumental.
A $300,000 FY2008
Neighborhood Revitalization
grant was awarded to improve
infrastructure in the Village
of Rockford. With the funds
2,250 linear feet of streets,
4,355 linear feet of curbs,
7,048 linear feet of sidewalks,
1,350 linear feet of water
main, 3,050 linear feet of
storm sewer, and 270 linear
feet of sanitary sewer. In
addition, two structures were
demolished, utility poles
relocated, re hydrants were
installed and improvements
were made to the baseball
elds. The grant leveraged
$1,544,697 of other public
and private funds, including
$10,000 from the Rockford
Recreation Board.

BOLLENBACHER
Power of the Pen (POP) is
Ohios award-winning educa-
tional enhancement program
devoted to excellence in cre-
ative writing. In its 24th year,
one of its main aims is to help
seventh and eighth grade stu-
dents realize their highest aca-
demic achievement.
The programs benefits for
students include empower-
ment in writing at an early
age, the gaining of self-con-
fidence and the imparting of
a love for writing and reading
that identifies, challenges and
rewards gifted creative minds.
The program offers the oppor-
tunity for interscholastic writ-
ing events much like sports
offer that same interscholas-
tic opportunity. Each year par-
ticipants compete in a district
event and can move up to re-
gional and finally to the state
level.
Coldwater Middle School
has been involved in the
Power of the Pen program
since the early 1990s. I started
being involved when I came
to Coldwater, said Chris
Miller, senior English instruc-
tor. Judy Bruns was my men-
tor. Tessy Huwer, middle
school intervention specialist,
also works with me. I am the
coach, and Tessy and I act as
judges for the competitions.
Though we didnt win
anything this year, in both
2007 and 2008 we took four
trophies third place for sev-
enth grade at the district com-
petition and second at the
regionals in 2007, and in 2008
we placed first at the district
meet and third at the regionals
in the eighth grade, Miller
said. The kids love the pro-
gram. In a town known for its
sports, these kids get the rec-
ognition they deserve through
POP, Miller said.
Coldwaters Ashley
Backs, a seventh grader, said
about the program, I think it
is a lot of fun, and you can
meet a lot of new friends. And
you meet a lot of new people
from other schools at the com-
petitions. The writing helps
you to express your creativ-
ity.
Backs and other students
that participated in the pro-
gram went to school early one
morning a week. They were
given a word or a prompt
to write about. The instructor
read their stories and gave
them ideas and compliments
about what they had written.
Miller said though he him-
self hadnt been able to see
any direct improvement in the
students writing since he
teaches senior language arts
and doesnt get to see the kids
for about four years, All the
middle school teachers agree
that it does help, even if the
kids have to struggle with the
writing.
Reimbursement to cover
expenses comes from the
school and a local company.
CAP gives us $150 each year
for t-shirts, and the school
gives us $1,000 annually for
tournament fees and penal-
ties, Miller said.
Team members are Conner
Stammen, Shannon Hess,
Lauren Rose, Karla
Borgerding, Andrea
Moorman, Ashley Backs,
Haley Fledderjohann,
Courtney Kunk, Rachel
Eichenauer, Brad Eckstein,
Caleb Siefring and Matt
Kramer.
Fort Recovery Schools
Grades 1-8 Gifted Interven-
tion Specialist Marcia Weigel,
said, A generous contribu-
tion from our Academic
Booster Club has allowed our
eighth grade students to take
their creativity on the write
path as weve formed a cre-
ative writing team as part of
the Power of the Pen program.
We had several practice ses-
sions, and then Mallory Hull,
Grace Roessner, Sara
Schoenlein, Taylor Wendel
and Adam Westgerdes at-
tended the POP district tour-
nament at Mississinawa Val-
ley Middle School in Febru-
ary.
Of the 72 eighth-grade
students from 13 different
schools who took part in the
tournament, our Taylor
Wendel ranked 8th place
overall and earned a spot in
the regional tournament.
In the tournament each stu-
dent rotated through three
rounds of writing competi-
tion. In each round, the stu-
dents were given a creative
writing prompt and forty min-
utes to complete a piece of
writing to turn in to the
judges. Each students writ-
ings were ranked in order by
his or her overall ability to
effectively and creatively ad-
dress the prompt. They were
also given quality points for
their work.
There were just over 80
eighth-graders participating in
the regional tournament held
at Minster Middle School in
March. While Wendel did not
earn one of the top overall
awards, she may still be able
to participate in the state tour-
nament to be held in Wooster
the end of May. Weigel said,
To earn a spot at the state
tournament, writers must fin-
ish in the top twenty percent.
While Taylor did not quite
make the cutoff, she did earn
a spot as an official alternate
should a qualifier be unable
to attend the event. In the
tournament competitions stu-
dents writings are judged on
creativity, originality, voice,
composition and mechanics.
Weigel said this was Fort
Recoverys first year with
POP. She said that leading up
to the tournaments, her team
had been meeting one or two
times a week to practice. I
gave them sample creative
writing prompts and 40
minutes to respond. Then
I gave them feedback as to
how to improve their writ-
ing, to work on grammati-
cal and spelling errors, and
we discussed ways to ef-
fectively incorporate more
figurative language into
their writing. We also cri-
tiqued past competition
winners to see which ele-
ments made the writings
good.
Weigel said that at this
point POP is strictly an
extra-curricular event at
Fort Recovery but some
of the strategies can be
helpful in the regular class-
room. I have noticed im-
provement in the teams
skills as we went along.
We got a late start this year,
but I anticipate a greater
degree of improvement
next year when we have a
longer period of time to pre-
pare. The kids really loved
the program. I imagine well
have more participation next
year, too, as the word
spreads.
The other county schools
do not currently have the POP
program.
a non-profit educational orga-
nization with a home office in
Richfield, Ohio. The POP
w e b s i t e ,
www.powerofthepen.org,
says that, Because the ideas,
dreams and beliefs of todays
youth form the foundation of
tomorrows communities in
Ohio, Power of the Pen is
dedicated to helping young
people find and develop a cre-
ative voice that is uniquely
their own. It is a mission we
will realize when we inspire
every teacher and challenge
every student to truly embrace
the art of creative expression
through writing as a life skill.
POP offers the judgment of
the whole evaluation ap-
proach, meaningful awards or
recognition and pursuit of ex-
cellence.
The program has grown to
become one of Ohios largest
educational enhancement pro-
grams. More than 120,000
middle school students ben-
efited from Power of the Pen
instructional methodologies
this year, including more than
8,000 who competed in for-
mal Power of the Pen inter-
scholastic writing tourna-
ments. POP is made possible,
in large part, through grants
and contributions from those
who value educational excel-
lence.
