During the game on Sept. 25,each athlete and coach wore knee-length socks to match the cancerribbon color of their choice, alongwith ribbons in their hair and ontheir sleeves. The FMCFoundation sponsored theathletes’ jerseys, which containeda white strip on the back for theplayers to write in the names ofthe individuals they were playingfor during the Block Out Cancergame.

Before the varsity warm-up, aspecial tribute was paid to thesurvivors in the gymnasium andthe volleyball players and coacheshanded out flowers and hugs to thecancer survivors in the stands. Theteam also held a raffle andpresented more than 80 prizes.

“There are so manyopportunities when being

involved in a team sport that don’tactually revolve around the sportitself,” said coach Mindy Miller,who has worked in the FMCMaternity Unit for 19 years.“These young ladies did anexceptional community serviceand were instrumental in the entireprocess.”

The success of this fundraiserwould not have been possiblewithout generous donations fromfriends, family, teachers, teams,administration, communitymembers and local businesses.

“The residents of FairfieldCounty are inspiring in theirheartfelt compassion for cancerpatients, cancer survivors andtheir families,” said Tracy Kelly,executive director of the FMCFoundation. “Efforts like those ofthe Fairfield Union Girls Volley-ball team not only save andchange lives, they remind us allwhat can be accomplished whenwe come together to support eachother.”

Farmers’ Costs to Go UpThe cost of producing a grain

crop is expected to rise next year,but farm income is unlikely toincrease, an agriculturaleconomist with The Ohio StateUniversity has projected.

On average, profits for Ohiofarmers next year will be “low tonegative,” said Barry Ward, anassistant professor in the Collegeof Food, Agricultural, andEnvironmental Sciences.

For the past five years, farmincome nationwide has beendeclining, with the exception of2017 when it increased slightly.Next year, fertilizer, seed,machinery, labor and energy costslikely will be “modestly higher,”Ward said.

Borrowing money will comeat a higher cost because interestrates have gone up and willcontinue to increase in 2019 andwe know farmers are borrowingmore money now.

Land owners likely will see adecline in the value of theirfarmland as a result of the FederalReserve’s interest rate hikes aswell as the uncertainty that hascome with the future of corn andsoybean crop prices..

Crop prices for corn andsoybeans have trended lowersince 2013 and in recent monthshave plunged partly due toChina’s imposition of 25 percentretaliatory tariffs on U.S. soybeanimports.

But some positive changes areexpected in 2019.

Ohio farmers’ tax bills couldbe lower. Across the state,farmland is being taxed at a lowerrate due to a new law passed lastsummer.

The price of rentingagricultural land in Ohio likelywill be about the same or will godown slightly, about 2 percent, in2019, Ward said.

And a new federal taxdeduction allows farmers and

other business owners to take atax deduction of 20 percent ontheir qualified business income.

On Saturday, Nov. 3, acommemorative service was heldat the Bremen-Bethel PresbyterianChurch in honor of the 100th

anniversary marking the end ofWWI. Their were eight localsoldiers who lost their lives inWWI. The eight men who losttheir lives were as follows : PVT.George Dewey Bigham, PVT.Emil Dean Blosser, SGT WillisLewis Burnworth, PVT JohnFranklin Coen, PVT. Ray Moyer,PVT Oscar Huston McVeigh, PFCJohn Felix Schmelzer and PVTCarrol Thomas Turner. A brief bioof the eight soldiers who perishedin the war was read by thefollowing students from FairfieldUnion High School : FreddieBurke, Sam Schmelzer, TrevorThomas and Garret Fox. Mr.

Joseph Woodrum, President 37th

Division Veterans Association,presented a history of these menand their units.

Olivia Mahler sang a beautifulrendition of "How Great ThouArt" in their honor. MeganKessler, a great-great-great nieceof Lewis Burnworth, one of thesoldiers kill in the war, read thepoem "In Flanders Field" writtenby Lieut.-Col. John McCrae aCanadian soldier who later died inthe war. This poem was written tohonor the soldiers who died in thewar and are buried in Flanders.This poem was very appropriatesince Lewis Burnworth is buriedin Flanders Field, Belgium.Sergeant Major Peter Stassen, amember of the Belgium Army,spoke about the appreciation of theBelgium people for the support wegave their country during WWI.

He and his wife, Colette (MasterChief Belgium Navy) have madea special effort in maintaining thegrave of Lewis Burnworth inBelgium. Lewis was awarded theSilver Star for his brave actions inthe war.

There was a special gravesideservice in Grandview Cemeterywhere wreaths were placed oneight crosses representing each ofthe soldiers who lost their life inthe war. When it was possible,relatives of the fallen soldiershelped place a wreath on the crossrepresenting their loved one andthis was followed by a twenty-onegun salute by members of theAmerican Legion. The AladddinPipe and Drum Band, wearingtheir kilts and playing bagpipesand drum, performed the beautifulhymn "Amazing Grace" in theirhonor. The service closed with the

playing of "Taps" and abenediction was given by Rev.Larry Hoffman.

There are many people livingin the Bremen area who arerelatives of these fallen soldiers. Itseems very fitting and appropriateof the community, whencelebrating 100th anniversary of

the end of WWI, that these bravesoldiers should be remembered forthe sacrifices they made for ourfreedoms.

(I would like to thank Mayor MikeHenwood for his assistance with thisarticle.)

As men-tioned in partone of thisarticle, “Ap-preciation isa remark-ably strong,untapped en-ergy everyone of us

possesses. We just need to knowhow to use it. Science confirms thatwhen you think and feel apprecia-tion (not simple gratitude; but pow-erful valuing); amazing changeshappen. From a calming of ourheart beat, increased brain functionto successful and satisfying interac-tions at home and at work. All ittakes is change in focus.”

As we are now in the season of“Thanksgiving,” have you honestlyconsidered putting into action whatyou CAN do to express your grati-tude and appreciation to thosearound you? The opportunities andoptions for expressing more grati-tude in our work and personal livesare almost limitless and the rewardsare rich. The only “rules” are that inorder to be truly meaningful, ex-pressions of thanks or appreciationmust be as specific as possible andabsolutely sincere and authentic.

As an example, a mother of avery busy teenager could email herdaughter once a week or so with athank you or a note of appreciationor a simple, “I’m so proud of you!”for something that occurred thatweek. You could keep a note on thecomputer monitor as a reminder ateye level which says, “Compliment3 people every day.”

Some of you may be questioningas to why you should be gratefulwhen it seems like many things arealmost at their worst. Well, accord-ing to recent research, the practiceof gratitude and appreciation canmake you happy – and who doesn’twant to be happier especially if ev-erything seems to be pretty bad?There are several reasons that grati-tude makes you cheerier.

A daily practice of gratitudesuch as keeping a gratitude journalor “counting your blessings,” helpsyou live more consciously becauseit forces you to pay attention towhat happens in every day life.Gratitude and appreciation helpsyou stay in the present moment be-cause to notice blessings, you haveto block out worries about the fu-ture and regrets from the past. Waytoo many people utilize the regretsof the past as a hitching post andmovement forward is a very diffi-cult process when that occurs. Al-though, there is no scientifically

proven aspect to it, counting yourblessings increases the good thingsthat happen to you, if only becauseyou are more attentive to them.

Appreciation is a free gift. It’s agift that you can give to anyone youencounter – it is completely yourchoice. Each time you choose tothank someone for a job well done,you’re making the world a betterplace. There are several things Ibelieve we should all rememberabout appreciation.

Everyone wants andneeds it. No matter who we are orwhat our actions may say; we allwant to recognized and appreciated.

It doesn’t have to besomething “big.” Many of us willremember simple words of appreci-ation and encouragement that hadthe potential of changing our lives.Little gifts of appreciation can makesuch a difference in a life. Most ofus realize that the happiness oflife is made up of minute fractionsaccumulated over life; such asthat smile from a special person,a kind look, a heart-felt compli-ment and the countless infinitesi-mals of pleasurable feelings.

We need to make itpersonal. Think of special waysthat you can appreciate others thatwill touch their lives in a personalway. These gifts are especiallymeaningful when they are givenfor no special reason except toshow that you care about themand you appreciate their presencein your life.

Be creative. I believeyou should get your creative juic-es going to determine some un-usual, attention-getting,delightful way that you can thankothers in life. Consider leavingspecial post- it notes, affirmingstickers, hand-written notes ofany kind or bring a picnic lunch toshare with someone; and ofcourse, people love any kind oftreats. Mary Kash, the founderand CEO of Mary Kay Cosmeticsstated, “There are two things thatpeople want more than sex andmoney – recognition and praise.There are so many ways that wecan provide that wonderful feel-ing for a person – all we have todo is figure out new ways to do it.

Surprise people if youcan. Many of the aspects of lifethat we remember are not thosethat were pre-planned or antici-pated. It’s the wonderful surpriseof something that is done or agesture that is made to give usthat wonderful feeling and some-thing to remember.

We must always be sin-cere. People want to be appreciated;not impressed. They want to be re-garded as human beings; not asmere sounding boards for otherpeople’s egos. People understandwhen your active gratitude and ap-preciate is heartfelt.

Share yourself from theheart. When we truly think of othersand what we can do just for them –our appreciation becomes a selflessgift of love. When you appreciatefrom the heart, truly giving of your-self; you touch people in ways theywill never forget.

You will always receivemore than you give. When wereach out to celebrate and appreci-ate others; we will always receivemore than we give. The Bible tellsus, “It is more blessed to give than

to receive.” In every instance in myown personal life, I have found thisto be absolutely true. A wonderfulbook about sharing love and appre-ciation on a daily basis is entitled,Song for Sara by Paul D’Arcy. Inthat book, it is a story about Sara,who when pregnant with her secondchild had an awful moment when adrunk driver killed her husband andher first child. The book follows thecourse of her grief and the ultimatewisdom that she found from herexperience. On her road to recoveryand wholeness, she concluded thatto spend one day without appreciat-ing the people in our life is in es-sence, “to waste that day.”

I think to myself that I don’twant to waste even one day by notappreciating and loving. As manyof us have found out, sometimes we

only have a short time left to ac-knowledge that appreciation. Some-times we don’t seize theopportunity and then it might be toolate. I encourage all of you to reachout and share your love and appre-ciation every day. I am confidentthat you’ll never regret that you did!

A gift of service & beauty to the Bremen community

By Dan Jones

It was a gray, raw Novemberday with a light rain falling whenI visited Howell Park in Bremenrecently and I thought that therewouldn’t be anyone there. I wasstanding along the fence by thesmall fish pond when I becameaware that someone was workingat the back of the flower bedstrimming the tall ornamentalgrasses back for the fall. I walkedover behind the grass and there

was Debbie Wolfe and herhusband David who wereworking, as if it was still summer,cleaning up the flower beds.

During the year, I have oftenvisited the park to take my dog ona walk around the perimeter pathand I am amazed at the flowersblooming in the garden there withits neat raised beds. Many of theflower varieties have been plantedto attract butterflies. Debbie notedthat she and Dave had just seen aMonarch butterfly on this cold

November day and I imagine thatthis is probably the last one of theseason that had failed to follow theother Monarchs south on theirmigration to Mexico.

The fish pond has beautifulfish, some are the usual orange,but others are yellow and arespotted and are a very attractivepart of the water feature. The fishwere still active on this coldNovember day and the watergushing over the rocks of the twotiered waterfalls produced a verypleasant and soothing sound thatmakes you want to sit and relax.With benches nearby the waterfeature, it is a very pleasant placeto just sit and escape all of theturmoil that we are exposed todaily. Debbie told me that shereally appreciated Kelly Stump’shelp in constructing the waterfalls.He also helped re-lay the donatedstones and rocks around the pond.This small pond is surrounded bya beautiful black metal fence andlandscaped with beautiful flowers.Dan Rutherford came to her aidalso,by hand digging the Koi pondand placement of the liner and inconstructing the black metal fencearound the pond. The pond area islandscaped with beautiful flowersand garden ornaments. Debbiealso wished to thank Irene Konklerfor all she did as a volunteer.

She told me that her husbandDave has been a driving force increating these beautiful raisedflower beds and the fish pond inthe park. There are many gardenornaments in the garden and fishpond area such a chicken weathervane, birds, and a decorativebench to sit and rest and enjoy thearea. She and her husband havepurchased many of the items in thegarden and pond area using theirown funds which has amounted toseveral thousand dollars andrepresents a gift to the community.

I have visited the park and thebeds in all of the seasons of theyears and I have often foundDebbie planting, weeding andwatering the various plants in thebeds. On some of the hottest daysof the year she may be seenworking in the gardens with hersmall wagon filled with plants;adding new plants and removingothers from the beds along withfertilizing the beds. She has madea great effort to plant varieties ofplants, such a butterfly bushes,Monarda (Bee Balm) and otherswhich attract butterflies to thegarden for everyone to enjoy. Dueto her foresight - she startsworking early in the spring andcontinues through the summer andfall - and she has done an excellentjob in planting flowers that

provide a succession of colorthroughout the year for everyonein the community to enjoy. Thereare nice benches around the flowerbeds where one can sit and enjoythe beauty of the flowers and listento the relaxing sounds of the waterflowing in the ponds with itscolorful fish. Other villages andtowns may have much largerparks, but I doubt their parks haveprettier and neater flower beds anda water feature as nice as the onein Howell Park.

This gift of beauty and a quietplace to sit and escape the chaosof everyday life has been Debbie’sgift to the Bremen community. Ifyou have a chance, let her knowhow much you and others in thecommunity enjoy and appreciateher gift to Bremen.

LANCASTER, Ohio – Hospiceis not a place but is high-qualitycare that enables patients andfamilies to focus on living as fullyas possible despite a life-limitingillness. Palliative care brings thisholistic model of care to peopleearlier in the course of a seriousillness. November is NationalHospice and Palliative CareMonth and hospice and palliativecare programs across the countryare reaching out to help peopleunderstand all that hospice andpalliative care offer.

In recent months, a number ofnotable Americans have died.They include Senator JohnMcCain, the queen of soul ArethaFranklin, and former first ladyBarbara Bush. In many mediareports, they were described ashaving “given up” on curative carelate in their lives. Ms. Franklin

opted for hospice care; Mrs. Bushreceived what was described as“comfort care.”

It is essential that peopleunderstand that hospice andpalliative care is not giving up, itis not the abandonment of care, itis not reserved for the imminentlydying,” said Edo Banach,president and CEO of the NationalHospice and Palliative CareOrganization. “Hospice is asuccessful model of person-centered care that brings hope,dignity and compassion when theyare most needed. This is onereason that the national MyHospice Campaign was launchedthis year.

Every year, nearly 1.5 millionMedicare beneficiaries receivecare from hospices in this country,reports NHPCO. Hospice andpalliative care programs provide

pain management, symptomcontrol, psychosocial support, andspiritual care to patients and theirfamily caregivers when a cure isnot possible.

As Pat O’Rourke, a hospicevolunteer at FAIRHOPE Hospice& Palliative Care noted, “Irealized that becoming aFAIRHOPE Hospice volunteerwould be an outstanding way togive back in a meaningful way.Following every visit with apatient, I give thanks for beingcalled to participate in such awonderful endeavor.”

Throughout the month ofNovember, FAIRHOPE Hospice& Palliative Care will be joiningorganizations across the nationhosting activities that will help thecommunity understand howimportant hospice and palliativecare can be.

DEAR HANK,

Do dogs and kids get thesame kinds of cancer?

That is a great question! Dogsand kids DO get the same kinds ofcancers. According to Sniffing forthe Cure.Com, 1 in 5 children willdie from cancer. The VeterinaryDiagnostics Institute (2012) addsthat cancer is the leadingnonaccidental cause of death indogs, with 1 in 3 dogs beingdiagnosed with cancer in theirlifetime and 50% dying from thedisease.

Sniffing for the Cure.Comadds that dogs share the sameenvironment with their ownersand they are also close to humansgenetically. Their genome is 84%similar to that of people.Therefore, it is not surprising thatdogs develop similar diseases ashumans including cancer.

Some of the cancers that affectchildren are rare cancers. Therarity of these cancers make itdifficult for scientists and doctorsto study these tumors on people.As a consequence, it is harder tofind a cure for these specific rarecancers. On the other hand, dogshave a higher incidence of cancerswhen compared to humans. Anexample of rare cancer in peopleis osteosarcoma (bone cancer).Osteosarcoma is the mostcommon bone cancer in dogs.This type of bone cancer alsoaffects children. While bonecancer is rare in humans, itsincidence in dogs is ten times the

incidence in people. Therefore, bytreating dogs with these cancersnot only can we provide theopportunity for our canine friendsto receive treatments that can helpthem, but also these treatmentscan inform doctors whichtreatments can help children withthe same type of cancers.

Other Cancers That AffectKids and Dogs

LymphomaAccording to the article “How

Canine Lymphoma Research CanBenefit Humans and Dogs”canine lymphomas are similar inmany characteristics to a type oflymphoma that occurs in humansnamed non-Hodgkin’slymphoma. About 250,000 casesof canine lymphoma werediagnosed in 2014. In the sameperiod, approximately 71,000cases of human non-Hodgkin’slymphoma were diagnosed in theUSA. These numbers emphasizethe critical need for bettertreatments.

Brain CancersAccording to the article “How

Companion Dogs Can Help UsFind a Cure For Brain Cancer”dog companions share the sameenvironment as their humans andare also susceptible to variousspontaneous cancers that affectthe human population. One ofthese cancers is glioblastoma.Glioblastoma is a type of cancerthat can develop in the brain orspinal cord. These aggressivetumors can occur at any age buttend to happen more often in olderadults.

Glioblastomas also occur incompanion dogs. As in people,glioblastoma occurs in middle-aged dogs continuing through intothe geriatric population, with thepeak age of diagnosis at 7-8 years.As in humans, dogs’ nervoussystem cancers are thought to be

the cause of one to three percentof deaths.

LeukemiaAccording to the Science Daily

(2008) Breen & Modiano foundthat the genetic changes that occurin dogs diagnosed with certaincancers of the blood and bonemarrow, including chronicmyelogenous leukemia, Burkitt’slymphoma, and chroniclymphocytic leukemia arevirtually identical to geneticabnormalities in humans.

What’s Being Done to HelpThe Canines-N-Kids

Foundation is an organizationcommitted to putting an end to thecancers that affect children anddogs. To reach this goal, Canines-N-Kids have created a platformfor veterinarian oncologists,pediatric oncologists, researchersand leading organizations such asBlue Buffalo Foundation, Lilly, VFoundation and Petco Foundation

to collaborate. This foundation iscommitted to funding researchthat can help identify newefficient treatments to curecancers that affect kids and dogs.

Another organization trying toraise money and awareness todogs and people with cancer isThe Hank Kabel SarcomaFoundation. This organization ispartnering with Eastside Athleticsin Lithopolis, Ohio for and eventcalled “Volley for the Pups.” Thisevent will be held on Sunday,November 18 at EastsideAthletics located at 11435Lithopolis Road in Lithopolis.Warm-ups begin at 3:30 withtournaments starting at 4:00 p.m.The entry is $60 per team andadmission is $2.00 or the donationof a dog item which will bedonated to The Hank KabelSarcoma Foundation and TheFairfield County Dog andAdoption Center. Come out andvisit with some dogs up foradoption from the shelter and help

them find their furever home. Toregister contact Niki at [email protected].

Another way The Hank KabelSarcoma Foundation is trying toraise money and awareness forcancer is through their 2019calendar “Police Officers,Dispatchers, and Dogs.” Thecalendar features the LancasterPolice Department and their dogsand shares facts about cancer indogs and people.

Houseplants make a wonderfuladdition to our home’s décor andimprove the indoor air quality.Those with pets however maystruggle with keeping plants safefrom curious pets and the pets safefrom indoor greenery.

The good news is you can growan indoor garden even when youown pets. Yes, some do love to digin the soil or even eat our favoritehouseplants, but with proper plantselection and planning you cankeep your pets safe while enjoyingan indoor garden.

Start by selecting plants that aresafe for your pets. Consult theAmerican Society for thePrevention of Cruelty to Animalswebsite for a list of pet-safeplants to grow and toxic plantsyou should avoid. This will reduceyour anxiety by helping you createan indoor green space safe for yourpets.

Incorporate a few easy-careplants like blunt leaf peperomia,

cast iron plant, spider plant, andSwedish ivy that are not toxic tocats and dogs. Add some color toyour indoor garden with dog andcat safe African violets andPhalaenopsis orchid.

Next, adjust your gardeningstyle to keep your plants safe fromcurious pets. Mulch the soil inlarge planters with chunkywoodchips or decorative stones toprevent cats from using theplanters as a spare litter box. Justmake sure the mulch is notattractive to or poses a danger todogs or other pets that might betempted to eat the mulch or get itlodged in their mouth.

Or invest in a commercial matdesigned to prevent digging. Mostare made of plastic or rubber withupward facing nubs that humanelydiscourage digging. Just cut themat to size and set it on the soilsurface.

Consider elevating your gardenby growing plants in hangingbaskets or in pots placed on highshelves out of the reach of curious

animals. Be sure to keep up withpruning as those long-danglingstems can provide temptingentertainment.

Break out the homemade orcommercial repellents for thosepersistent pets. Use productslabeled for this purpose or makesure your homemade concoction issafe for pets, plants andfurnishings.

Enlisting scare tactics may bethe next step to keeping yourplants safe from grazing pets.Squirt bottles, noisemakers, andcommercial devices may helpdeter pets from digging andmunching on plants.

Using a variety of strategiesoften yields the best results. Onceyou find the best method forkeeping your plants safe and petshealthy and happy, you’ll be ableto enjoy the beauty and benefitsindoor plants provide.

Whether it’s a home or abusiness, when a property isimproved it is appreciated by thecommunity. The Fairfield CountyHeritage Association’s annualCoronet Awards celebrate thoserestorations, renovations, andbeautifications and honor the ownerswho have made a commitment to thefuture.

Six properties were singled outfrom the long list of nominations:349 E. Allen Street, 122 Tarhe Street,and 1377 Leslie Lane, all ofLancaster; 8651 Lithopolis Road,Canal Winchester; and the MillEvent Center and Mithoff, both inLancaster. The awards werepresented at FCHA’s annual meetingon November 8, 2018.

349 E. Allen, the Carolyn Myersand Bob Clay home, was awardedfor its renovation. Built in 1926 andone of first houses on Allen Street, itnow has a fresh, updated exteriorwith coordinating colors for the roof,trim, siding, and shutters, plusattractive landscaping.

The Bruce and Kate Adler homeat 1377 Leslie Lane was honored forrenovations. The house had beenvacant for five years when the Adlerspurchased it in 2015. It was inforeclosure, neglected and indisrepair. Major exterior repairs withprofessional landscaping andseasonal container plantings helpmake this lovely home part of itsneighborhood again.

The Ernest Schmelzer andMichael Smith home at 122 Tarhewas awarded for renovation andlandscaping. The nominatordescribed the house when the currentowners bought as “a plain-Janeranch-style home,” but it now has abeautiful porch with wood andwrought iron, a stone patio and

pergola. The house is now a bit ofparadise for its owners.

8651 Lithopolis Road, the Timand Jane Stegall home, was awardedfor renovation, restoration, andlandscaping. In the nomination itnoted that the home was a log cabinbadly in need of repair. Anenormous amount of work, time, andthought was put into renovation andlandscaping to keep the homefunctional and appealing. New sidingand windows, along with patios anda picket fence made this a renovationworth noting.

The Mill Event Center, 431 SouthColumbus Street, and the Mithoff,162 West Main Street, are both

owned by Brad Hutchinson who alsoput considerable time, effort, andfunds into bringing these structures,in various stages of disrepair, backto life.

The Mill had been damaged by afirst-floor fire before Hutchinsonbought it. He repaired and renovatedthe structure, adding modernconveniences while keeping itsbeautiful historic character. It is nowopen to the public for events, and thesecond floor has been made into fourspacious apartments.

The Mithoff had been consideredfor demolition due to its many yearsof neglect. The three-story buildinghas been completely renovated fromthe ground up and the façade nowboasts windows that are replicas ofthe originals, attractive paint andtrim, interesting cornice pieces, andexterior lighting that perfectlyreflects the blending of past andpresent.

Both buildings have becomeshowplaces and the Mithoff,especially, contributed to therevitalization of downtownLancaster. Businessman ChrisClaypool, who accepted the awardson Hutchinson’s behalf, told thegroup how proud he was ofHutchinson’s efforts and called theMithoff “the crown jewel ofdowntown.”

Congratulations to all thewinners!

It is that time of year again, when wegather around the table with family andfriends. And as we celebrate this joyousholiday season, it is important to take amoment and reflect on the less fortunate inour community.

Need. Need surrounds us through thepeople we come in contact with every day.No one is exempt from having a need.

Yes, the Christmas season is awonderful time of year to consider theneeds of those surrounding us, and to giveback - and we will do that, but theLancaster-Fairfield County CharityNewsies organization doesn’t concentrateits efforts solely at this one time of theyear; it focuses on families in needthroughout the entire year.

For 82 years, the Newsies haveresponded to the needs of this county. Lastyear, the Charity Newsies provided 400+families with food supplies during theholiday season. A meal has a special wayof bringing families together; we fed theneed. In August, we clothed 800+ kids andprovided them with school supplies; wefed the need. If tragedy should suddenlystrike the families of this county, theCharity Newsies will be onsite, ready torespond and feed the need. And this trendof serving our community that has beenwell established over the years willcontinue into 2019.

How is it possible for countless needs ofmultiple families to be continuously met?The answer is one small word with one bigimpact - “YOU.” Families are fed andclothed, children and teenagers areequipped with school supplies toultimately help them receive an education,and hope is provided to this communitybecause of “YOU.” Your generous givinghas proven that “YOU” genuinely careabout the people that make up this city andcounty we call home.

To those who do not know much aboutthe Lancaster-Fairfield County CharityNewsies, I wanted to take a moment andintroduce you to this generous group of

people. The Charity Newsies is made up100% of 100+ Lancaster-Fairfieldvolunteers with one goal - “One HundredPercent for Charity!” We voluntarily serveand we financially give to impact thosewithin our borders. Every penny donated isgiven to a local family with children. Everydonation is farmed out to those in ourcounty, the hurting and hopeless in ourcity. The Newsies members pay annualdues to cover administrative expenses ofthe organization. There is no overhead andthere are no salaries. Many of our teammembers personally cover various expen-ses, so we can continue to carry out ourmission - “To give hope to FairfieldCounty families in need through onehundred percent giving to charity.”

When you partner with one of ourfundraising endeavors, you give hope andyou, too, Feed The Need. Even thoughthere are endless needs to be met, we are acommunity blessed with charity-mindedbusiness people and leaders willing tomake a difference in the lives and futuresof people. People are the heart of Lancasterand Fairfield County. If the heart is strong,our community remains strong.

You might be wondering how you canget more involved. There are two excitingupcoming fundraisers in December thatwill provide you with an opportunity togive back and feed the need.

On Thursday, December 6th, theCharity Newsies will host our 48th AnnualAuction and Banquet at the Moose Lodgein Lancaster, Ohio. This is our highestgrossing fundraiser used to help families inFairfield County. Come and make a bidthat can truly make an impact!

On Saturday, December 8th, look forthe red coveralls! The men and women ofthe Charity Newsies will be standing atstore fronts and in roadways throughoutFairfield County “hawking” our “SpecialEdition Lancaster-Fairfield CountyCharity Newsies Newspaper.”

Enthusiasm is contagious. I’m oftenamazed at what a couple of dollars for a

newspaper can do! I encourage you toconnect your family to giving. As yougather around the table, share about yourexperiences in giving back and how yourfamily helped meet the needs of peoplewho surround you every day. Kindness andgenerosity are attributes we are responsibleto pass on to the next generation. Thefuture of our community depends on it.

Thank you to all our volunteers, to localgrocers, merchants, businesses, families,and community leaders for giving of your

time and energy. Whether packing foodboxes, delivering items, donating items,working at one of our two annual golfoutings, hawking papers, collectingdonations, or financially supporting theCharity Newsies, you give back with asmile and make our community a betterplace!
