Finding something new for the garden

Its garden time again. That means its time for me to pick up my fad of the year to add to my garden. One year I made my own garden stones, adding shining stones and paintings on the top. I guess you could call that my concrete year. I now have numerous concrete frogs, flowers and round walking stones around my garden. Another year I chose to add vegetables to any available spot. That was fun. Onion sets were used to edge my rock flower beds. Tomatoes served as backdrops to my flower gardens and green pepper plants filled my container garden. That was the year we enjoyed the fruits of labor, or should I say vegetables of my labor. Of course last year I followed the trend and with the help of a friend made garden ornaments out of glassware I had found at garage sales. Glued together with special adhesive they make nice year-round garden decorations, My only problem is sometimes the wind likes to play havoc with them. I have considered using my concrete skills and pouring a little concrete in the ground to make sure these items dont blow over. Solar lights are a favorite of mine. I have even found border edging lights that use solar power. Solar fountains with water spraying in the air on sunny days was another trend I tried. It worked good, but the water often dehydrated during busy weeks while the pumps kept trying to pump water that wasnt there. This has led to my fad for this year. I am back to the solar lights. Only this year I have found solar lights that change color during the night. They come in shapes of bugs, butterflies and flowers. I plan to strategically place them around my flower gardens. They are pretty during the day and night, they dont take any maintenance, and the wind rarely blows them down. This is my kind of fad. Put it out once and no maintenance. I also plan to grow more flowers and less vegetables this year. Im going for the color with the flowers and solar lights.
teach various offensive and defensive techniques. When boxers compete, they are matched by weight, age, and ability. Coaches ensure the athletes take frequent water breaks. Weve never had a major injury here, Lathrop commented. The clubs first two students were Diamond Long, a female, and Trent Kuhlman. Lathrop said he and the coaches take a personal interest in all their athletes, and help them in their lives outside boxing, if need be. Diamond boxed throughout high school; We went to her (high school) graduation, Lathrop said, proudly, We were like family. Lathrop added that all his athletes have graduated from high school. At this time, there are approximately nine young men who are active in the club. Some of them shared their thoughts on boxing: Alex Hernandez, a 10-yearold fourth-grader from Leipsic, explained, I was looking for a sport that excited me, that I was up to the test, that was hard. He has been a club member for the past two years. Chandler Stalnaker related, Ive never been in other sports. It gives me something to do. He likes boxing because he gets to hang out with the other guys and go to fights. He has not had his first fight yet, but believes he will soon. Stalnaker, age 11, is a Columbus Grove fifth grade student. Waylon Lathrop has been boxing for three years. He is 11 years old and is in the fifth grade at Columbus Grove. The coach is my dad. He Isaiah Romero, a 16-year-old member of the Putnam County taught me to like boxing. Young Lathrop said boxing Boxing Club, spars with PCBC Head Coach Walt Lathrop. helps him stay fit. He added
OTTAWA Nearly seven years ago, Walt Lathrop and Tom Giesken wanted to teach young athletes positive life lessons through the platform of amateur boxing while building them up to become mature, responsible, and caring citizens. Because both men had an interest in boxing, they founded the Putnam County Boxing Club, the first legitimate club of its type in the county. Lathrop boxed while he was growing up in Muskingham, Mich. It was a family thing, he said. He enjoys sharing his experience and abilities with the young athletes. As Giesken is no longer actively involved with the club, Korey Baumgartner has recently been hired on as an assistant coach. PCBC trains athletes, both male and female, ages eight and older, in Olympicstyle boxing. They typically meet twice a week, on Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 6 p.m. until 8 p.m. There are competitions every weekend; they have traveled to KY, MI, IN, and PA. Destinations for tournaments are further away. The cost of membership is $25/month, plus insurance. Initially, the club met in Lathrops handdug basement, which was less than 100 square feet of room. In March 2010, the club moved to the main floor of the Schroeder Building in Ottawa. About a year ago, the club relocated to the second floor of the building, which has more than 3,000 square feet of space, complete with a boxing ring that they got from a former fitness club. Lathrop explained that their current location used to be home to the Ottawa American Legion, where professional fights were sometimes held. Several steps are taken to protect the boxers physical well-being. Their workouts must be rigorous to build the athletes endurance in the ring. The coaches ensure workouts begin with stretching exercises. The trainees then run sprints, distances, and up and down steps. They train with punching bags, speed bags, and double-end bags, to increase their handeye coordination. They don protective equipment, including headgear, groin protectors, mouthpieces, and hand wraps that go under the boxing gloves. The coaches spar with the youngsters in the ring, to

Chandler Stalnaker works on his boxing moves at the Putnam County Boxing Club. with a grin, I like to punch somebody and not get in trouble! Kole Baumgartner, age 10, said boxing gives me another activity to get into. A fifth grade home-school student, Baumgartner began training in the sport two months ago. He especially likes to work out with the double-end bags. Ryan Santana saw a newspaper article about the club and decided to try the sport a year and a half ago. He stated, My dad used to box. I like training. It gives me something to do, (otherwise) I would be sitting at home. Santana is a 16-year-old sophomore at Leipsic High School. My record is 6-0, he said proudly. I dont like to lose. I like the competition. Isaiah Romero has been boxing a little over a year. The 16-year-old Leipsic native attends the 10th grade at Findlay High School. Its a fun sport, very challenging. Its more individual- there are no pressures from teammates, he expressed. Romeros record is 3-1. Mason Thomas is a 13-year-old eighthgrade student at Continental, and has been active in the club for eight months. Thomas said, My dad tried out for MMA (Mixed Martial Arts), and as soon as I saw him hit the bag, I knew thats what I wanted to do. He continued, I get to travel, meet other people, learn new skills, and make memories along the way. Lathrop concluded he would like to add a tutor to his staff, to offer help to the youngsters with their academics. His ultimate goal is to have a club presence in Findlay.

O-G retirees dedicate 311 years to district

By BECKY LEADER
Voice Coorespondant
OTTAWA A great deal of history is leaving the O-G Schools this year. That was the comment made by Ottawa-Glandorf Superintendent, Kevin Brinkman, at the gathering honoring the districts largest retirement class at Pike Run Golf Club on May 2. The three administrators, eight teachers, and one bus driver have dedicated a total of 311 years to the students and communities of Ottawa and Glandorf. Brinkman stated, I believe the number of years speaks volumes for the quality of the district. Paul Baransy was in the education field 34 years; 12 of those years were at O-G as the assistant band director. He stated, I enjoyed watching my students improve as musicians, from fifth graders playing Lets Go Band to students earning a 1 at state competition. His favorite memories of O-G include taking the pep band to the state basketball tournament three years and the junior high jazz band. Baransys post-retirement plans include performing in musical theater and marketing some of his arrangements and compositions. He also hopes to travel to Florida and out West, and fish. His dream is to become a charter boat captain. He credits his family for the support they have given him. Raphael Becker plans on creating his own art, as well as working in his yard and landscaping. Prior to being the technology teacher/specialist at Ottawa Elementary for 13 years, he taught at North Baltimore, Bowling Green, and Pandora-Gilboa. He will miss the OE staff, plain and simple, as they made going to work fun and interesting. He has many good memories of the students and their accomplishments in the classroom. Becker related, I would like to thank everyone in Ottawa-Glandorf Schools for giving me the fantastic opportunity to teach their children and of working at Ottawa Elementary. I enjoyed what I did and had fun working with the students and staff throughout the district. Connie Dickman spent all 35 years of her career in the O-G Schools. She taught in both the Ottawa and Glandorf Elementary buildings, as a fourth and fifth grade teacher at OE, a computer teacher at both schools, and finally as a math teacher at Glandorf. She stated, I truly enjoyed working at both schools, and the staffs at OE and Glandorf were top-notched. Dickman plans to do some traveling, spend time with

Pictured are: (front row) Mary Jo Williams, Peg Niese, Denise Phillips, and Rose Ann Kaufman; (second row) Don Williams, Connie Dickman, John Hermiller, Brenda Utendorf, Norm Schnipke, Bill Hanna and Paul Baransy. Rafe Becker was unavailable. family and friends, go to the gym, and catch up on reading. She fondly recalled memorizing the states and capitals with the fifth graders, then having a kickball tournament and homemade ice cream and working with the junior high students for the Defiance Math Contest. Bill Hannas favorite memories of OGHS include participating in the senior musical three years, the boys basketball team going to state four different times, watching the swimmers, wrestlers, track team and bowlers participate at the state level, and going to Dayton for the state band competition. Hanna was the principal at OGHS for 17 years, and has a total of 35 years in education. He will miss the students; he made sure he attended as many extra-curricular activities at O-G as possible. Hannas post-retirement plans include holding a part-time job with the Northwest District Athletic Board as the treasurer. Thanks to Hannas efforts, students are now able to enroll in 50 college credit hours at the high school. John Hermiller drove bus for 14 years. He was Mr. Brinkmans early fog and snow assistant, out on the roads a half hour before reporting for his route to help make decisions about school delays and cancellations. He knew the mechanics of his bus from top to bottom, inside and out. Hermiller said he will miss the little children the most. He explained, They always chatted with me while we were waiting on pick-ups or drop-offs. He will continue to be a substitute bus driver for O-G. Rose Ann Kaufman said, I am so thankful to the O-G administrators for allowing me to be a part of such a wonderful school system. I have truly been blessed and now look forward to entering a new phase in my life. Kaufman held a number of positions while she was employed in the school district, including: junior high language arts teacher, elementary physical education teacher, elementary art teacher, and fourth grade teacher. She will miss the daily contact with the students who make her feel young and the wonderful people with whom she worked. She will always remember the students smiling faces as they came into the classroom. Kaufman intends to spend more time with her children and grandchildren. Peg Niese was a home economics teacher (13 years) and an intervention specialist (22 years) while at O-G. She fondly recalled SelfEsteem Days, when junior high students earned a special day to select a variety of non-traditional activities in which they participated, and cooking labs in home economics, when the students got handson experience in this area. Niese said, Ill miss my co-workers and the dedicated students. Although she has no specific post-retirement plans, she is certain to keep busy reading, gardening, helping her husband farm, taking day trips with friends, and volunteering. Denise Phillips began her career as a business teacher at OGHS. She then was named the Director of Special Services, and in 1995, became the principal at Ottawa Elementary. Phillips expressed that she has too many memories to list them all; however, she related, Two of the highlights of my career were getting grant funding to start Titan T.I.K.E.S. Preschool, and the whole process involved in the building of our new, beautiful school. She will fill her time doing projects around her house, have some recess, and then look for part-time employment. She will certainly miss the daily interaction with the staff members, students, and families. Norm Schnipke has been in education 35 years; 34 years were spent in the Ottawa-Glandorf School District as a chemistry/physics teacher and the technology coordinator. He said he will miss the staff and students. He especially enjoyed teaching the students. When asked about his post-retirement plans, Schnipke simply stated, Enjoy life! Brenda Utendorf taught every grade level, except third, throughout her teaching career. During her 30-year tenure at O-G, she was also the computer teacher/specialist. Utendorf quipped, I will miss most the children of Ottawa-Glandorf Schools. I have worked with many super kids throughout my career. The students made my job enjoyable and they also kept me feeling
young. I looked forward to teaching the kids each and every day while watching them grow intellectually and mature into fine young adults. One of her favorite memories was of Cyber Safari, a multi-school competition in which she and the junior high students stayed all night at school to search the Internet. Utendorf plans to complete the many started projects she has at home, and take care of herself by having fun with family and friends. Don Williams was the junior high language arts teacher at Glandorf Elementary for 35 years. During that time, he was also an assistant football coach (34 years), Glandorf athletic director (23 years), seventh grade boys basketball coach (six years), and girls varsity basketball coach (five years). He was named the District 8 Coach of the Year in 1984. Williams noted that this year, half his students parents were also his students. He is especially proud to be on the GE staff with three of his former students, Sharon Verhoff, Sara Imm, and Sheri Wehri. He intends to keep busy, running The Housley House Bed and Breakfast and opening Miss Lilys, a breakfast/lunch, bakery, deli, and gift shop, both in Grand Rapids, Ohio. He will be getting married to the most wonderful person in the world, travel, and enjoy his grandchildren. Williams said he will miss the students. He explained, The students keep me feeling young. Our young people never cease to amaze me. They are resilient and have a lot to offer the world. Mary Jo Williams plans to improve her golf game, travel the world, spend more time with family, including her seven grandchildren, and catch up on reading. Williams held several positions while at O-G, including administrative assistant, principal of Ottawa Elementary, and director of special services. Some of her favorite memories include passing the bond issues to renovate the high school and build the two new elementary schools, and all the ways the O-G students excelled, such as the Excellent status achieved in academics the last seven years. Williams concluded, I am so grateful for having been able to spend such a large part of my career working at Ottawa-GlandorfWe have the best kids around, and I have been privileged to work with outstanding teachers and administrators over the years. I truly value the friendships that have developed over the years! Congratulations to all the retirees, and may the next chapters in their lives be as rewarding as those spent at Ottawa-Glandorf.

Thanks for blood drive support

To the Editor, We would like to thank the Ottawa American Legion for hosting the May 3rd blood drive, and the volunteers who helped advertize, call donors and who worked at the drive. We would especially like to thank the dedicated donors and the two first time donors who were able to donate blood. The regions blood supply and services to area hospitals can be sufficiently maintained with this support. Patients need blood for surgeries, cancer care, and the treatment of serious disease and trauma. Thank you, Marilyn Burkhart and Judy Ruen Blood Drive Co-chairs
Pandora citizens need to speak up

To the editor It is the second summer in a row that part time job employment has been issued to a non-resident of Pandora without giving the tax payers the option of applying, even though it is your tax dollars that support the town. I encourage all of the Pandora residents to attend council meetings and get involved in how your money is being used. How many other job opportunities that could provide a job for a tax payer are not posted and given to those outside of our village? We pay taxes, water and sewage, and their salarieswe deserve the courtesy of at least posting a job opportunity for one of our tax paying residents. Sincerely, Wendie Swary

Roger A. Miller
Roger A. Miller, 83, of Wauseon, formerly of Ottoville, died May 2, 2012, at Fulton Manor. He was born Dec. 24, 1928, in Ottoville to Joseph and Estella Miller, who preceded him in death. On April 26, 1958, he married Esther Ostendorf, of Fort Jennings, who died Feb. 13, 2007. They were married 48 years. Mr. Miller quit school at the age of 16, which was not unusual for those times. He went to work with the food industry. One of the first places of employment was the Bursley Foods, Lima, and then in Fort Wayne, Ind. He was an Army veteran, spending two years in the Medical Service Corps. After his discharge, he ventured to Wauseon with his knowledge of the retail food industry where he opened a Super Dollar grocery store with his brother, Joe. Several years later, he purchased the Ford dealership in Wauseon. He managed Roger Miller Ford for approximately 20 years, during which time he garnered several awards and traveled on many Ford-sponsored trips as well as serving on the Ford advertising board. In later years, despite semi-retirement, he still worked as a real estate agent in Wauseon. One of the greatest joys for him, his loving wife, and their entire family was to be at their cottage at Clear Lake, Ind. There, they enjoyed time with family and friends, fishing, playing cards, enjoying water sports, making memories and spending quality time together. Sadly, this could not continue with the untimely death of his wife and changes in his health status. He was a member of St. Caspar parish since moving to Wauseon. There, he was a councilman, finance chairman, daily Mass attendee, a minister of the Eucharist, a lector, an usher, an annual leader in the parish festival and served on the building committee who planned the current church. He also was active in the Knights of Columbus/4th Degree, drove for Meals on Wheels, worked for the Bloodmobile, was a Clinton Township clerk for 13 years, was a life member of the Rotary Club, Kiwanis Club, American Legion and Elks Club. Additionally, he was a member of the Wauseon Homecoming Committee, Wauseon Chamber of Commerce, and served on the Board of Directors for Peoples State Bank. In retirement, he and his wife enjoyed mentoring students in reading at the Leggett Primary School. It has been said and verified by many that he was kind and caring. There is no doubt he would give you the last dime he had and if he thought you needed it, more. This legacy is a tremendous tribute. Survivors include three children, Bruce (Tammy) Miller, of St. Marys, Cindy (Marc) Thompson, of Wauseon, and Linda (fianc Gary Rhoads) Kersey, of Bryan; a sister, Margie Brenner, of Montpelier; five grandchildren, Jacob, Katie and Amy Kersey and Brandon and Torie Miller; three stepgrandchildren, Adam and Michael Thompson and Sarah Snyder; three stepgreat-grandchildren, Anias and Addyson Thompson and Aubrey Snyder; several nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews; two sisters-in-law; and two brothers-in-law. He was preceded in death by two brothers, Orville and Joseph; and a sister, Dorothy Bergfeld. Mass of Christian Burial was held Monday at St. Caspar Catholic Church, Wauseon. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the American Heart Association, St. Caspar Catholic Church, Fulton Manor Activity Department or the charity of the donors choice. Condolences may be expressed at www. GrisierFH.com. Arrangements are by Edgar-Grisier Funeral Home in Wauseon.

Safe-cracking, Exploit highlight of festival in Ottawa

OTTAWA Doug and Karen Schroeder plan to solve a mystery on Saturday. They will be cracking the huge 130-year-old safe inside the Schroeder Center for the Arts building on the corner of Main and Walnut Streets at 6 p.m. The safe-cracking will be part of a multitude of activities going on in Ottawa during the first Festival in the Flats. The Schroeders are the owners of the Schroeder Center for the Arts and the Cavern Club Winery. The safe has been hidden from view for many years until the flood of 2007 destroyed the interior of the building and the walls were removed. Rumors state the last person to know the combination slowly lost his mind and never passed the numbers along. No one knows when the safe was last opened. No one knows what lies inside. The Schroeders invite the public to join in the fun while the contents are revealed live during the festival. Immediately following the opening of the safe, The Cavern Club Winery will unveil 20 commissioned works of art by local artist Don Huber. This acrylic-on-canvas collection is the artists tribute to The Beatles. The art will have a permanent home on the winery walls. Three lucky winners of a ticket drawing will get one print of their choice from the collection. This is the first year the Blanchard River Art Guild has hosted the Festival in the Flats. The event will include music, art, food, spirits and allday fun. Exploit is the headliner band. BRAG will hold an art fair featuring area artists with many holding demonstrations and a mime will be performing at the event. Children are invited to dabble in the arts and create a finished project to take home. A seeing-eye dog training demonstration and silent auction will also be held during the art fair. The Festival will include live music on Walnut Street starting at noon. The schedule of bands on Walnut Street include: Two Thirds Right: Noon to 3 p.m. Alan Siebert: 3 to 6 p.m. Inside the Cavern Club Winery music will include: The Mixed Up Band; 6 to 9 p.m. Exploit; 9 p.m. to midnight. Food vendors during the event will include Touches from the Heart food truck, homemade ice cream, old-fashioned kettle corn and, beginning at 4 p.m., grilled hamburgers. CONNIE RUHE Putnam Voice Sponsors for the event include Beckman Jewelers, Phantasm Designs, Gustwillers, Merle Norman, A 130-year-old safe discovered at The Schroeder the Union Bank, Stowe Art, Serendipity, Touches Center for the Arts will be opened during the from the Heart and more.

Construction volunteers were present to talk to visitors about the Energy Star techniques used in the Habitat for Humanity homes in Putnam County during Saturdays open house in Continental.
CONTINENTAL On Saturday, Putnam County Habitat for Humanity hosted an Energy Star open house at its construction site in Continental. The Continental home is being constructed to Energy Star 3.0 standards and Enterprise Green Community specifications. This will probably be one of the healthiest houses in Putnam County when it is finished, construction manager Paul Recker said. He said the house features formaldehyde-free insulation, and products free of volatile organic compounds such as glues, caulks and paints.
That means the items in this house are allergy-free, Recker said. He said green construction materials are being used to lower the chemicals used in the home, making the home a much healthier living environment. Recker and other construction volunteers were available to explain energy saving techniques being used in the home. All the homes constructed by Habitat for Humanity in Putnam County have been built to Energy Star standards. The first three homeowners are showing significant heating and electric bill savings. In January 2011, the first homeowner in Ottawa reported his combined gas and electric bills total $65 for a 1,100-square-
foot home. The drywall was not installed at the time of the open house so visitors could see how the insulation is blown in the walls and other techniques used to keep energy bills low. Energy savings are important to families on low to moderate incomes, said Putnam Habitat president Chas Myers. Its also important for people to see the type of quality construction that goes into Habitat homes. Pedro Soto Jr., the Habitat partner for the house, said his family is looking forward to the savings they will have in their new home. He said currently in their house trailer there are times when the electric bill is more than the rent.

Kalida grabs share of PCL title

By MARK ALTSTAETTER OTTOVILLE Despite being very successful over the recent years, there was something still missing for the Kalida baseball program. The last year Kalida won a Putnam County League championship was 2007. Kalida put an end to that small drought on Thursday when it steamrolled past Ottoville 13-5, to share the PCL title with Leipsic. Both Kalida and Leipsic end the PCL schedule at 6-1. Kalida (13-5) pounded eight base hits and jumped out to an 8-0 lead in the first inning off Ottoville starting pitcher Bryan Hohlbein. For the game, Kalida recorded a total of 16 hits. Longtime Kalida coach Jim McBride said Thursdays win was something special for his program. In his four innings of work, Utendorf gave up four runs on five hits. The senior left-hander struck out five, while throwing a total of 56 pitches. Jordan Laudick came in to pitch for Kalida in the fifth. Laudick scattered three hits, while striking out four and walking two. McBride applauded both of his pitchers performances on Thursday. Neil Recker, Kevan Unverferth, Nick Guisinger and Utendorf all had two hits each for Kalida on Thursday. Luke Schimmoeller led Ottoville (5-14) at the plate, going 3 for 3. Hohlbein worked four innings on the mound for the Big Green. Hohlbein gave up 10 runs on 10 hits, while striking out two, walking one and hitting two batters. Travis Maag came in to pitch the sixth, while Schimmoeller worked the final frame for Ottoville. Ottoville coach Anthony Castronova said the rough start for his ball club was too difficult to overcome. Kalida, who gets a first-round bye in its sectional tournament at Columbus Grove, will play the winner of the Miller City/Pandora-Gilboa game, on May 10. P-G handed Kalida its only PCL loss this season.
