THIS WEEK IN YOUR COMMUNITY COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT June 6 - 12, 2012 If you didn’t go to the Put- nam County Relay for Life on Friday night, you missed a good time for a great cause. I’ll admit it was cold that evening, but the warm smiles and hugs people gave each other made up for the chilly winds. After arriving at the Ottawa- Glandorf football field without a coat, I realized I would not make it through the evening. A quick trip to a nearby store to pickup a sweatshirt jacket and hat on sale solved that problem. Returning to the field in the late afternoon I could see teams putting up their tents and tables. This year’s event provided ongoing entertainment with danc- ing, games, contests and a live auction. You also could enjoy life-size versions of board games as you walked around the track. Perhaps the most exciting part though was the survi- vor/caregiver lap. This lap reminds us of the reason for the annual Putnam County Relay for Life. The support of the American Cancer Soci- ety through Relay for Life is making a difference in the lives of cancer survivors and their families. Some accomplishments of Relay across Pennsylvania and Ohio in 2011 include: • 55,900 patients and caregivers received 149,600 services through the Ameri- can Cancer Society Cancer Resource Network. • 13,200 patients and care- givers received emotional support from cancer survivors: help dealing with the cosmetic effects of cancer treatment: and online or group education and support. • 11,900 patients and care- givers received free trans- portation to and from their cancer treatments and free overnight housing to assist them in accessing their can- cer treatments when treat- ment options were far from home. • 2,900 patients and care- givers stayed at one of the four Hope Lodge facilities in Cleveland, Cincinnati, Hershey or Philadelphia, saving them approximately $4/2 million in lodging costs. Everyone is affected by cancer in some way. You may have survived it yourself, are undergoing treatments or have a family member of friend with cancer. Each accomplishment toward curing, treating or helping someone with can- cer is important to all of us. I applaud all of the volun- teers who worked so hard to make this year’s event a success.

The churches open for tours are Christ Lutheran, Continental; St. Nicholas Catholic Church, Miller City; St. John’s United Methodist Church, Columbus Grove and First Presbyterian Church, Columbus Grove. Historians with each church along with members of the Putnam County Historical Society board will provide the tours of each church. This is the second year the Historical Society has hosted a tour of churches in the county. Christ Lutheran Church 100 W. Rice St., Continental Rev. Frank C. Longaker was a young minister just out of semi- nary when he come to Miller City to organize a Lutheran congrega- tion. Two Continental Lutherans attended one of his services and invited him to Continental to sur- vey the area for Lutheran people. On July 15, 1896, 18 people met in a store room on Main Street in Continental to organize. They chose Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church as their name. At the first formal worship on August 2, 1896, before the church was built, the original members were received by members of the Lutheran Synod. Plans were made in the early summer of 1897 to build a church. Mrs. Caroline Casteel donated the land for the building. The corner- stone was laid in August 1897. The church was completed and dedi- cated in November, 1897. The church has been updated over the years. Siding covers the red brick and air conditioning has been added. A major addition, Luther Hall, was added in 1980. An office for the pastor was another of the changes that has kept the par- ish church in working order. St. Nicholas Catholic Church 200 E. Main Cross St., Miller City Nicholas Miller and Nicholas Noirot donated land to the village of St. Nicholas for a church. The name of the village eventually was named Miller City to honor Nicholas Miller. The church was named St. Nicholas to honor Nicholas Noirot. In 1887 Rev. Joseph Rosenberg, pastor of Holy Family Catholic Church, New Cleveland prepared a petition to establish a Catholic parish in Miller City. In 1888 a 35 x 70 frame structure with a 60 foot tower was constructed at a cost of $2,343. On August 26, the new church was dedicated under the patronage of St. Nicholas. In 1889, Rev. John Bertemes became pastor of Holy Family in New Cleveland, St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Leipsic and St. Nicho- las Catholic Church in Miller City. Mass was celebrated once a month at Miller City. In 1889 Rev. Charles Wagner became the first resident pastor. In 1900 the cornerstone was laid for a brick church, which was destroyed by a tornado on March 9, 1918. A new brick church with a steeple was built for $20,732. A hand-carved wooden statue of Nicholas, the parish patron, was donated in 1938. It was carved in Germany. In 1958, Rev. Carl Wilacker traveled to Munich, Ger- many to select 24 stain glass win- dows for the church. In 1978, St. Nicholas and Holy Family were named sister parishes. It is unique that both parishes were served by the same pastor when St. Nicholas parish was established, shared a pastor when they were made sister parishes 90 years later and still share a pastor. St. John’s United Methodist 205 N. High St., Columbus Grove During the early years of the church’s history, the Cranberry and Plum Creek Churches, the Mon- roe Chapel and later the Pandora charge, were all served as a part of the Columbus Grove Chapel. The first meetings were held in homes, business places, store rooms and other places until 1860. Rev. Daniel Glancy organized the congregation of St. John’s U.B. church in 1858. The church was christened St. John’s United Brethren Church in Christ. The first church building, still standing, was on West Sycamore Street, now the Tom Halker residence. It was not long before the ambi- tion of the growing Columbus Grove congregation asserted it and a new church building became the central point of interest. On March 3, 1869, it was voted to purchase the present church site on N. High Street. This location was secured for $28.56 plus $7 in unpaid taxes. The first church building was erected on this site during Rev J.M. Easton’s pastorate in 1877 to 1878. In 1897 it was decided to build a parsonage adjacent to the church, erected ate total of $1,000 Under the pastorage of Rev. Shock it was decided to build the present sanctuary. The present church was dedicated in 1926 at a cost of $10,000 Over the years the name of the church changed from United Breth- ren in Christ to United Brethren to St. John’s Evangelical United Brethren and alter to St. John’s United Methodist Church when the two churches merged. First Presbyterian Church 210 S. High St., Columbus Grove The First Presbyterian Church began between the years 1832 and 1836. The first group came up from Groverport, Ohio and settled along Route 12 near the Truro Cemetery. In that first church the women sat on one side of the church and the men sat on the other side. This building was a log building. The second church was built in 1851 at a cost of $1,380. The church had a bell which they rang for both joyous and sad events. The bell was taken to the present church and is in the tower. It has a crack in it now. One of the sad events that the bell rang out for was the death of Abraham Lincoln. This church was a frame building made of wood. In 1898 the congregation made plans for a new building. The build- ing committee was selected in 1899 and started to raise funds. Pledges were made which promised to make the payments in 3 annual install- ments. The groups from the church who collected money were Sunday School, $133; Christian Endeavor, $50; and the children. $134. In July 1901, the architect plans were accepted and the contract was signed for $11,000. The cor- nerstone was laid in 1901 and a time capsule was put behind it. The building had a basement and the first floor. The old wood church was sold and used for storage on a farm. Years later the Sunday School room was made into a kitchenette and restroom. The Sunday School room was moved to the basement. The basement is now used for din- ners and Sunday School. A ramp has been added to make the build- ing handicap accessible. There had been a manse for the pastor, but now the pastor lives elsewhere and that area is now a parking lot.

Everyone is affected by cancer in some way. You may have survived it yourself, are undergoing treatments or have a family member of friend with cancer.

Each accomplishment toward curing, treating or helping someone with can-cer is important to all of us. I applaud all of the volun-teers who worked so hard to make this year’s event a success.

OTTAWA — In January, five Ottawa Ele-mentary students were looking for a chal-lenge. They rose to the challenge, and the payoff was one that will benefit the school and the community for years to come.

The students, Melissa Knott, Veronica Knott, Alex Porinchok, Amanda Sahloff and Ben Wischmeyer were all seventh grade pupils in Kris Stechschulte’s science class. While the young people were very proud of their new school, Sahloff noted, “There was no landscaping at our new school; it was boring.” Melissa Knott added, “We wanted to make it more homey.”

To remedy the situation, the students formed a group, “People Planting Plants” (also known as “Triple P”). “We wanted to name it ‘Princesses Planting Plants,’ but Ben didn’t like that,” the girls giggled. In order to be a member of the group, students must display good behavior and grades, and com-plete their regular class work. The group intended to landscape the busing area, which became muddy when it rained. How-ever, in times when schools are struggling to make ends meet, money was an obstacle.

Triple P turned to the Internet to search for a grant to fund their project. They hap-pened upon Lowe’s “Toolbox for Educa-tion,” a grant that was available to public schools. The purpose of the grant is to fund requests that have a permanent impact such as facility enhancement as well as landscap-ing/clean up type projects. During their free time, study time, and after school, Triple P measured the area they selected to enhance, drew a design, and researched vegetation they would plant. They paid particular atten-tion to detail; Stechschulte remarked, “The kids even monitored the amount of sunlight in the area,” added Wischmeyer, “We had to re-do the measurements four times.” The group knew they wanted to incorporate many perennials in their design and use Titan Blue and Gold colors.

The students spent many hours think-ing about and planning their project. They conducted the research and handwrote the answers to the grant’s questions. “It was nice to learn things hands on, instead of from books,” commented Veronica Knott. The group was hoping to get $300-$500 for their project. In February, Stechschulte com-pleted the application on the computer and submitted it.

They waited for a response. And waited. And waited. At the beginning of May, when they did not receive a response, Triple P brainstormed other means to finance their project. They thought of soliciting dona-tions from area businesses and holding fundraisers. Denise Phillips, OE principal, offered to donate some money from her Principal’s Fund.

The very next day, May 14, an envelope

from Lowe’s arrived at the school.Mrs. Stechschulte gathered the group

together to give them the news. Triple P was expecting a rejection letter. Instead, they were astounded to learn they had been awarded $5,000. Porinchok stated, “We couldn’t believe it. It was a bad day, and this was something that brightened it up.”

Stechschulte and the Triple P students met with a Lowe’s representative for an hour and 15 minutes, to discuss what they needed to do and to make arrangements to get items delivered. “He was very accommo-dating. The students asked good questions,” Stechschulte commented.

The group will begin their project in the fall. They expanded the project to include more areas around the building; they intend to purchase a bench, and bricks to go around the vegetation. Although the majority of the money will be spent at Lowe’s, the stu-dents have also contacted local businesses

to price items. Because the money has to be spent within a year of the grant’s receipt date, Triple P members explained that they would pass their project on to future middle school students, to ensure the care and tend-ing of the landscaping. This fall, the group will add in-coming seventh-graders Hannah Dunn, Alisha Hoyt, Jacob Korte, Tristan Moore, and Camryn Weihrauch.

It was the group’s consensus that they want their school to look nice and welcom-ing for future students. “We want others to think, ‘We can make a difference, too!’ they related. Triple P believes their efforts display pride in their school and in their commu-nity. “It would be good if we have kids who go to OE, and they think, “Our parents did this when our school was built,” explained Porinchok.

The Triple P group will be leaving a legacy for many generations to come — what a dif-ference they will make.

To the EditorAs with every summer, dry and windy

weather cause accidental fires to be a major concern. We are asking that every-one take the weather into consideration this summer and fall when burning trash or brush, especially when the crops ripen. The current hot dry weather along with the early wheat crop will make this year especially risky when lighting fires. Before burning, know what the wind is doing and where hot embers may end up. Any little hot ash or ember can ignite grass, brush, or a field in seconds. Wait to light a fire when there is little to no wind, or better yet, after a rain shower.

Another concern is controlled burns. If you are planning to light a larger brush fire (that may attract attention) please call the Sheriff’s Office at 419-523-3208 beforehand to let them know you will be supervising a fire and that if a passer-by calls it in to dis-patch, the fire department is not needed. You will need to give the location, your name and phone number in case of ques-tions or concerns, and dispatch will ask that you call back when the fire is out and no longer supervised. This prevents unnec-essary dispatches of fire departments to scenes that are already under control and supervised. If someone calls in your unre-ported controlled burn, dispatch will have to page out the fire department, and it may be possible that you will be charged for the run.

Remember to follow all Ohio EPA regula-tions, village ordinances if residing in the corporation limits and township ordinances, if any, when it comes to starting fires. Burn-ing of residential waste (plant matter such as tree trimmings, stumps, brush, weeds, leaves, grass, shrubbery and crop residues, along with wood or paper waste products generated by the residence) is not permit-ted inside a village per the Ohio EPA, but is permitted outside a village provided the fire is at least 1000 feet away from any inhab-ited building. Burning of agricultural waste (this also includes plant matter such as tree trimmings, stumps, brush, weeds, leaves, grass, shrubbery and material from crop or livestock production, along with fence posts and scrap lumber, but not buildings) is permitted inside the village if village ordi-nances are followed and the EPA is notified in advance. These fires need also to be 1000 feet from any inhabited building, regardless if the fire is inside or outside the village. Also remember that townships and villages may enforce stricter guidelines.

LETTER

“We recently moved into a new school with little landscaping. Our busing area is bare and when it rains, it becomes very muddy. Students walk thought it and it ruins the grass. We are short on funding and would

really appreciate your help.” — Triple P

Fort Jennings takes part in TSA competitionFort Jennings High

School competed recently through Ohio Northern University in the TSA-TEAMS competition. TSA (Technology Student Association) sponsored the nationwide engineer-ing competition.

TEAMS (Tests of Engi-neering Aptitude, Math-ematics and Science) is a two part test posing questions similar to those faced by college freshman level engineering courses. TEAMS introduce stu-dents to an engineering teamwork environment. Students work together in an open book, open note, open discussion format. 11-12 teams consist of 4 to 8 students in grades 9 thru 12, while 9-10 teams are limited to grades 9 thru 10.

Part I of the test con-sisted of 80 objective questions. Students were given 90 minutes to com-plete this portion of the test. Part I was used for scoring for local and state awards, along with part of the national scoring. Part II of the test required students to describe and

defend their solutions to open ended subjective questions from problems they worked on in Part I. They were given an addi-tional 90 minutes to com-plete this portion of the test. Part II of the test was scored for national recognition and added to the Part I score.

Fort Jennings competed in Division I (schools with 0 to 75 students in their senior class). The 11-12 team placed fourth in the state and 18th nationally. The 9-10 team finished first in the state and 6th nationally. This marks the fifth consecutive year that Fort Jennings has finished in the top ten nationally. There were 127 schools participating nationally in the competition in Divi-sion I.

The students practiced in the mornings before school starting in Decem-ber for the competition with their adviser, Kevin Horstman, before taking the test in late February. This is the 15th time Fort Jennings has advanced a TSA-TEAM to the top ten nationally.

God’s creative and restorative love continues to make, “all things beauti-ful”, in the life and ministry of Reverend Lois Baker. Lois, together with her friend and co-worker, Kay

Rhodes State to offer supervisor courses

OTTAWA — A newly-created degree for manufacturing super-visors will be available through Rhodes State College at the Putnam County Educational Service Center begin-ning this fall. Tradi-tional courses in the program will be held Wednesday evenings, combined with on-line courses and possibly courses on campus as needed. Summer semesters will be open.

This Associate of Technical Studies (ATS) in Manufactur-ing Supervision degree combines engineering, business and computer courses to develop skills for today’s supervisors. This degree can be custom-ized to fit the student’s workplace needs, as some courses in the degree may empha-size an area of engi-neering or business. Prospective students’ work and community experiences may also count as credit toward this degree, saving stu-dents time and money.

I’ve covered countless track and cross country meets over the years.

I’m not sure of an exact percentage, but I’d be willing to wager that I’ve seen longtime official Sam Gomer at a vast majority of those events.

Gomer, who resides in Ottawa, has been officiating since 1981. He’s officiated the pole vault in local and national meets for all of those years.

Recently, Gomer was selected to officiate the USA Track and Field Olym-pic Trials, later this month in Eugene, Ore. (June 21-July 1).

He will be officiating the pole vault at the men’s and women’s competition as well as the men’s decathlon competition. This marks the third time Gomer has been selected to officiate at the Trials. He was first given the honor in 2004 (Sacra-mento, Calif.) and then in 2008 (Eugene).

More than 550 USATF

officials applied to officiate at the Trials. There were 11 officials from Ohio selected of the overall 129 that were chosen.

Along with being chosen to officiate at the Trials, Gomer also has been nomi-nated for a special award. He has been nominated for the USATF’s Horace Crowe Award. This honor is pre-sented annually to the out-standing field event official in the United States.

The winner of this prestigious award will be announced at the annual USATF Convention, which will take place this year in December at Indianapolis.

Gomer has been very vis-ible at the high school level throughout the years, offi-ciating 30 state track and field championships and 26 state cross country champi-onships.

Gomer not only has offi-ciated at the high school level, but also at the col-legiate level. He has offici-ated a total of 13 national collegiate championships throughout his long career.

There have been 10 NCAA Division III, one NCAA Division I and two NAIA championships that he’s officiated. He’s also officiated one World Cham-pionship.

Gomer had his begin-nings as a teacher and coach. He first started coaching at Antwerp High School (1965-67), where he also was the head track coach. Then, from 1967-79, Gomer coached the Ottawa-Glandorf track

program, which notched a total of six Western Buck-eye League Champion-ships.

He won a boys’ state championship in 1972 at O-G.

Gomer went on to teach and coach in Florida for one year (1979-80), before coming back to the area to teach at Leipsic (1980-90).

Throughout his lifetime, Gomer has been involved in nearly every aspect of track and field. He’s always been more than willing to give advice to athletes on how to improve in their spe-cialty. He’s also been quick to explain certain rulings to curious people like myself.

More than anything, Gomer has always added fun to the events he’s worked at.

More times than not, you can find him near the finish line talking to local fans and parents between heats, who might be standing near the track. He’s always quick to tell you a story.

For Gomer, it’s a lifelong passion to be involved in track and cross country. He loves the interaction between the athletes, coaches and other officials, and yes, even the media.

OTTAWA — On Friday, June 8, the popular tradition of Little Buddy Night continues when the Ottawa Legion hosts the Lima Buckeyes at 7:30 p.m. This event, which is in its 13th year, is held in cooperation with the Titan Dug-out Club and the Putnam County YMCA.

Youth baseball players will warm-up with — and take the field with — Ottawa Legion Players. Youth baseball players should arrive at Memorial Field at 6:30 p.m..

Special guests this year will include “Jake The Diamond Dog,” who will be on hand to entertain the kids and adults, and the Village Idiots Band.

VAUGHNSVILLE — The Sugar Creek Athletic Asso-ciation is hosting a dedi-cation June 16 for its new electronic scoreboard donated in the memory of Duane Young by the Young family and Vaughnsville community members at the Vaughnsville Baseball Dia-mond in Vaughnsville.

There will be a baseball game that evening starting at 7:30 p.m. between the Vaughnsville Vikings and Columbus Grove Bulldogs “B” Little League baseball teams. The dedication cer-emony will take place shortly before the game at 7 p.m. The program will consist of shar-ing fond memories of Duane Young, throwing out of the “first pitch” by Wyatt and Rylee Sybert, introduction of both teams, and the singing of the national anthem by Abby and Tony Stringfield.

All former Vaughnsville Viking baseball players, coaches, parents, and High School Alumni are invited to

attend the dedication. Any-one wishing to speak that night about Mr. Young’s ded-ication to Vaughnsville and its baseball diamond and program is asked to contact Dale Otto for details.

The new scoreboard is a 9’x4’ wireless electronic scoreboard purchased from Daktronics and will be placed in right-centerfield along the outfield fence. SCAA would like to thank to the Young Family and the community members who donated time and material along with the necessary funds to make this outstand-ing addition to the “Home of the Vikings.”

As part of the evening, the SCAA will auction off the existing “Pepsi” scoreboard to the highest bidder with funds going toward a new diamond playing surface/material project.

For further details, contact Dale Otto at 419-236-7834, [email protected], or facebook.com/dale.otto.
