County commissioner gives club update
By MICHELLE STEIN
Staff Writer
MINSTER — The
Minster Service Club
received an update by
Auglaize County Commissioner Doug Spencer
concerning recent and
upcoming projects, as
well as the current state
of the county.
Renovations to the
county courthouse were
a major project recently,
Spencer noted, which is
nearly complete.
“It was an extremely
worthwhile project,” he
said. “If you have not had
the chance to tour the
courthouse, please give
me a contact and I’ll try
to make arrangements, or
if your group wants to go
through.”
Spencer said courthouse operations were
shut down in the court
house for a two-year period for these renovations.
At this point, it is nearly
the one-year anniversary
of re-opening the court
house.
“Now that it’s open,
we’ve been getting some
very prestigious awards,”
he said. “In May, we received the best public
project in Ohio from
Heritage Ohio. And just
his last week, we received
notification that Sept.
28 — and I want to also
say Garmann & Miller is
also a recipient, as well as
Auglaize County, of that
— of the Preservation
Merit Award. This one
is by the Ohio Historic
Preservation Office.”

evaluations, fobs
By DEAN EVERSOLE
Staff Writer
MINSTER — Minster
Superintendent Brenda
Boeke discussed the
change in teacher evaluations Monday night during the Minster School
Board meeting.
“The process has
changed this year,” said
Boeke “With that has
come much pre-planning.
Our teachers and principals will be developing
with their evaluators a
professional growth plan,
which will be used in the
evaluation.”
Boeke noted that the
evaluations will be documented in the Electronic
Teacher Principal Evaluation System, which she is
currently setting up.

The issue at hand was
the use and regulations
of the weight room located behind the football
field. At a recent boosters meeting attended by
Boeke, a plan was created
to monitor the use of the
facility.
It was noted that a key
fob system should be put
in place. Also, the use of
the facility would be limited to current Minster
athletes and graduates of
Minster in college.
“We felt this was a
good compromise,” said
Koening. “When the
room was built, we told
people it would be open,

Kids learn to make bracelets at Minster’s library
By MICHELLE STEIN
Staff Writer
MINSTER — Minster sixth-grader
Sierra Lentz shared her crafty skills
with local kids Aug. 13 at Francis J.
Stallo Memorial Library.
Participants in “Craft time with Sierra” had the opportunity to make either a pop tab bracelet and a button
bracelet at two sessions upstairs at the
library.
“She’s good — she has a lot of
craft skills from Girl Scouts,” said
Becky Prenger, branch manager at the
library.
Lentz said she gets a lot of her craft
ideas from Pinterest, an online pin
board full of inspiration.
“I found little turtles made out of egg
cartons,” she said.
A couple of participants in Sierra’s
craft session shared why they decided
to sign up for the class.
“I’m making a necklace for my sister,
Rachel, because she’s moving to college,” said Sami Cull, a second-grade
student at Minster Elementary School.
“She’s hanging it up in her dorm
room.”
“I came because then I can make
something for my backpack — like
this, I’m going to put on my backpack,” said Natalie Hoying, who is a
fourth-grader at Minster Elementary
School.
Getting crafty seems to run in her
family, Natalie said.
“My aunt, she lives in Columbus,
and she’s a scapbooker,” she said.
“And my mom sews, so I like
both of them. And I’m in Girl
Scouts.”

most $9 million of updates and changes with
the help of Garmann &
Miller, Spencer said —
all of which accrued no
debt.
“It’s just the Auglaize
County philosophy of our
capital projects — you
make sure you plan, you
have the vision and that
you save the money, and
then you do the project,”
he said. “So that’s pretty
exciting for us as well.”
Garmann & Miller will
also be assisting Auglaize
County with its upcoming dog warden project,
Spencer said.
“When I came into office in 2007, we were still
working with the humane
society, and they were
contracted to be our dog
warden,” he said. “Well,
some things happened in
2008, and they stopped
serving as our dog warden. It kind of left us in
a bad position because
we had no employee and
we had no facility, but
we’re mandated by ORC
to provide those services
and to have that facility.”
Russ Bailey has served
at the county’s dog warden since July 2008,

soon to get out for the
summer, I offered them
a special deal,” he said. “I
said if you come in the
summer — four years ago,
what I said is if you come
this next Wednesday after school’s out, I’ll take
you over to McDonald’s.
(It was) to kind of foster
a little bit of a summer
spiritual renewal after the
school year.”
At first, about 20 kids,
rary location — what
was supposed to be six
months turned into six
years, Spencer noted.
A new facility is in the
works, which will be located next to the sheriff ’s
law enforcement center
in Wapakoneta.
“The long story short
on that is, it’s going to
be a total package of
$467,000,” he said. “It’s
under construction right
now — Jack Heyne got
the award on that. We
hope by the end of the
year, the beginning of
next year that, that facility will be up and running.”
Another recent project
included the power house
at the court house, which
had, and still has the original boilers in there, which
weigh 22,000 pounds.
“We had Wellman
Brothers take a look at
our smoke stack, and the
capstone is going to have
some issues,” he said.
“It’s going to basically
need one of two options
— take the top 10 feet
of the capstone down, or
the second option is see if
they can get up there and
do some re-touching on
that and make it safe and
secure. And so we’ve kind
of postponed that; they
feel we can postpone that
until next year.”
The law enforcement
center is also in need
of some weather proofing and expansion joint
work, Spencer said.
“So, you’ll see that
as you’re traveling on
33, probably in the next
couple of months, that
Wellman Brothers will
be doing some work on
the exterior of the law enforcement building.”
Work at the airport is
also currently underway,
Spencer noted, with the
aid of a 90-10 grant — 90
percent from FAA and 10
percent from the county.
“We’re looking at the
development of a new terminal and snow removal
equipment building,” he
said. “Garmann & Miller
has been sub-contracted
through Delta Airport,
which is the main architect that the airport authority uses when managing all of the grants
from the FAA, etc. They
have a really awesome design ... But before we get
to that point, we have to
do utility upgrades, and
so we’re in that phase one
right now.”
The approximate costs
for these projects are
$750,000 for the utility design and upgrades
and for the snow removal
equipment building, and
$800,000 for the new terminal building, Spencer
said.
Auglaize Acres was
another topic of discussion, with Spencer noting
significant work needs to
be done on the building
itself.
“It’s a wonderful, wonderful facility, a wonderful institution,” he said.
“It’s an old building,
which creates big headaches, especially when
competing against some
more modern-designed
buildings that makes it a
little easier to staff than
what we have with the
acres.”
Licenses for 40 beds
at Auglaize Acres are currently in the process of
being sold to a home in
Ashtabula County for
$720,000. Right now,
$550,000 worth of critical infrastructure needs
to be taken care of at
Auglaize Acres, Spencer
noted.
“We are the exception — there aren’t too
many county homes in
the business anymore,’ he
said. “We were the first,
but it’s really becoming
something more of the
private world. We are a
dual-certification home
there — Medicaid, Medicare — and trying to everything that we possibly can to keep Auglaize
Acres in business.”
The solid waste department received no-
tification from the EPA
that it is time to update
its 15-year plan, Spencer
said. The EPA also recently installed four new
investigative wells at the
county landfill, which
cost $21,000 for installation and another $27,000
for the EPA to sample and
document six times.
Spencer commented
on the recent canal project, noting that although
there were setbacks, the
end result looks great.
“The ditch petition
that we were involved
with in Minster and the
canal project looks awesome,” he said.
“Though, there’s been
a few slippages that the
county engineer, with another contractor, has taken care of ... Hopefully,
everybody’s pleased with
how that went. It’s really,
in my estimation, done a
nice job with beautifying
the canal area.”
Spencer ended with
the financial state of Auglaize County, hitting upon
some notable statistics
for this year compared to
past years.
• “Sales taxes are our
bread and butter,” he said.
“We’ve got one-and-ahalf percent of the sales
tax — and things will be
changing because of the
new budget bill that was
passed with state sales
tax and county sales tax
... This year, we projected $6.5 million; our total budget is a little over
$14 million. Year to date,
we’re at 70 percent collected.”
• “Year to date, we’ve
collected a half a million dollars more than
we did in 2011, year to
date and 2012 year to
date,” he said. “So thank
you for spending money
in Auglaize County and
thanks for inviting all
of your friends outside
of Auglaize County to
spend money in Auglaize
County.”
• The property tax projection was $1.9 million,
and Auglaize County exceeded that projection.
“We’ve collected 103 percent,” Spencer said. “We
collected $20,000 more
this year than what we did
in 2012. We’re $240,000
more than where we were
in 2008.”
• In 2008, interest
income generated revenue of $1.1 million. This
year, it is projected to be
$120,000.
• Overall, the budget
is $14.3 million in the
general revenue fund,
with another $36 million
in other special revenue
funds, bringing it to a total of slightly more than
$50 million for Auglaize
County.
typically in second through
fourth-grade, showed up
for Mass and McDonald’s
afterward,
Nieberding
said.
“It’s developed each
year — we’ve had a lot of
benefactors,” he said, noting the McDonald’s group
averaged about 45 this
summer, although there
were as many as 55 at one
time.
Kids who participated
rode their bicycles to Mass,
and then gathered outside
after Mass is over. About
10 volunteers helped Nie-
berding for each trip to
help ensure safety, which
included: Jim Saluke, Jeff
Ahrens, Dianne Voskuhl,
Nancy Niekamp and Nick
Grieshop.
The troupe crossed
State Route 66 at Seventh
Street, with the help of
Randy Houseworth, Minster’s police chief.
“Randy Houseworth
escorts us over and blocks
that intersection by Hausfeld Motors,” he said.
“We’re responsible for getting back, but he escorts
on the way over to keep it
safe.”
Giving
McDonald’s
employees warning before
bombarding the restaurant
with 50 people, the kids
and helpers have a routine
they follow, Nieberding
said.
“We usually say the
Pledge of Allegiance, sing
‘The Star Spangled Banner,’ have lunch — we
always eat outside,” he
said.
The group eats in a
grassy area near McDonald’s. After eating, they
move over to a grassy area
behind Marathon to play
games and do fun activities. Junior high volunteers
help with these games and
activities.
“We use that grassy area
behind there for another
half-hour to 40 minutes
of games, water balloons,
cooperative, kind of camaraderie play,” Nieberding
said. “We play, we pray, we
eat.”
Although the last trip
to McDonald’s after Mass
has come and gone this
season, kids will have one
more fun activity to look
forward to when school
let’s out next summer.
“The kids enjoy it, it’s a
good community witness,
it extends our religious
outreach,”
Nieberding
said.
“It’s not heavy on theology — these are kids —
but they attend Mass, and
that Mass is more geared
toward them. They do
readings, they act as servers, some of them sing in
the choir, so it’s a little bit
different than our regular, routine 8 a.m. Mass
through the summer.”
Local kids show off talent at F.J. Stallo library
By JANICE BARNIAK
Staff Writer
MINSTER — Ten
acts performed to a
packed community room
Aug. 5 in the first-ever FJ
Stallo Talent Show, with
audience members voting for the acts they liked
best.
The performers sang,
danced and performed
gymnastics
for-thestanding-room-only
event. Organizers Alexis
Kyburz and Dezy Miller,
both paid summer interns
at the library, said they
were surprised by how
many people showed up
for the concert.
While they had sign
ups, they’d believed only
the children and their
parents would show
up.
“We had plastic chairs
out, and we didn’t expect
to need more,” Kyburz
said.
Miller said the program fit the fun and vivacious spirit of the library

free weights are there and
those are a safety concern.
The board agreed that
changes should be made.
Koening also informed
the board that finances
were becoming an issue,
and they are working
with Athletic Director
programs and was a nice
wrap up to summer. Miller and Kyburz are sisters,
and the all-female show
brought out sisters competing against each other
and sister acts.
A dance routine featured Lydia and Ella Mescher and Lydia Bornhorst, dancing their way
into first place as the audience’s favorite.
“The best part was winning,” Bornhorst said.
Ella said the girls are
neighbors and were able
to practice together at
least three times every
time they met.
“We were kind of nervous at first,” she said.
“But once we were done,
I was like why were we
nervous?”
Lydia Mescher agreed
that she’d been nervous
but had enjoyed winning.
The tumbling dance
group of Isyra and Bryann Oldiges along with
Lauren and Allison
Dwenger performed to
All for One.
In competing sisters,
Savanna Webb sang
“Pricetag” by Jessie J.
While she paused a
few times in the a cappella act to focus and block
out her nervousness,
Webb said she enjoyed
the performing.
“It was scary, but I feel
better,” she said. “I got it
over with. I wanted people to hear my voice.”
Skyla Webb, younger
sister to Savanna, followed her with the Black
Eyed Peas’ “Where Is the
Love.”
“I really like singing but I’m very shy,”
Skyla Webb said. “It was
scary.”
She added she had
performed in the school
talent show before. Her
favorite part is when it’s
all over and people clap,
she said.
Music was mostly
popular radio tunes.
The first act, Kaycie
Wissman, sang “Count
on Me” by Bruno Mars.
Grace Schmiesing and
Janae Hoying had a tumbling and singing act to
Bruno Mars’s “Grenade.”
They said they had
performed together before in a school play, and
Hoying has performed
from a young age.
“The best part was
when people congratulated us,” Schmiesing
said. “That made me feel
proud.”
Hannah James sang
with Alice Schmiesing
on guitar a song by Miley
Cyrus called “Butterfly
Fly Away.” The girls said
they’re in a band named
Chatterbox
together
through Red Bird Guitar
Studio with three other
girls. Schmiesing said
she comes to the library
a lot, and was inspired to
sign up thinking it would
be fun.
Alayna Albers sang the
Taylor Swift song “22”
and said she picked the
Josh Clune to ease the
burden.
Boeke informed the
board there have been
no changes in the status
of the Hanover Street
building and it’s still for
sale.
The superintendent
discussed the staff touring
both Minster Machine
and Machine Concepts.
Boeke noted the tours
were amazing and helped
the teachers and companies understand how to
best help each other.
The board approved
the contracts of the following:
• Lisa Schemmel —
instructional aid
• Jessica Baker — cafe
server
• Jaqueline Clark —
cafe server
• Kirby Cummins —
groundskeeper
• Rachel Couse —
substitute cafe server
• Marcie Huizenga —
• Bonnie Trzaska —
• Carly Wagner — substitute cafe server

song by turning on the
radio at the time she was
thinking about entering
the contest.
“It was the first thing I
heard,” she said.
It wasn’t her first performance. Albers said
that she performed with
the percussive players and in a production of School House
Rock.
Alayna Hogenkamp
performed to “I Knew
You Were Trouble,”
which she said she had
practiced a lot in advance. It was her first performance ever, she said.
Her mother encouraged
her to sign up.
“I really want to sing,”
Hogenkamp said.

Harvest Fest to help raise
funds for Council on Aging
BY DEAN EVERSOLE
Staff Writer
WAPAKONETA —
The Auglaize County
Council on Aging is taking the bull by the horns,
so to speak.
Because of cuts in
funding the council has
been forced to become
creative in raising funds
— so what better way
than a craft show?
Last year, the council
created and hosted the
first annual Harvest Fest
as a part of their fundraising events
This year, the fest will
be held on Sept. 14 from
9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the
Auglaize County Fair
Grounds.
The event will have
something for everyone
from crafts, to food, to
music according the event
planner Trena Childs.
"We have over 66 tables reserved for crafts already and that is as many
as last year. We are planning on having music,
food and a pumpkin patch
for kids," said Childs.
The admission to the
event is $1 or a canned
good item. All the proceeds will go to funding
the council and helping
them preserve their many
services.
“Any food donations
will be given to local pantries and all funds raised
during the event are used
by the council. We help
senior citizens continue
living independently with
aid from us," said Childs.
The concept of a craft
show came Childs' experiences as a craft show
enthusiast
"I enjoy going to craft
shows and thought it
would be a good idea to
host one. It takes a lot of
work and many volunteers to put this together,"
said Childs.
In fact, Childs said the
planning for next year's
event will start right after
this one is over.
One addition to the
fest this year will be an antique auction. It will take
place on Thursday, Sept.
14 in the Miller Building
on the fair grounds. The
doors will open at 3 p.m.
and the auction will begin at 4 p.m.
"We have a lot of items
for this auction. I know
there are a number of
paintings, dishes and
there is some furniture,"
said Childs.
Like the craft show, all
the proceeds will go to
the council.
"It is just so important for us to help keep
the senior citizens of the
county at home and living independently," said
Childs.
That task has grown
with the continued budget cuts, but the folks at
the council have proven where there's a will,
there's a way.

Recording history
There are so many different and creative ways
for families to showcase
their heritage and honor a
grandparent or other special senior. Scrapbooks
are one such way to share
the life of a special person
and indirectly tell the tale
of your family history.
Very often personal
history projects are a part
of elementary school curricula, so you may already
have the makings of a family tree or a family diary in
your home. All it takes is
a little more research and
some planning to design
a scrapbook that can be
gifted or kept for generations to enjoy.
Begin by making an
outline of what you would
like to cover in the scrapbook. Perhaps there is a
specific event in a grandparent's life that is worth
highlighting, like a military tour of duty or a brief
stint in show business.
Maybe you would like to
present different snapshots in time during his or
her life. Either way, planning out the content of
the scrapbook will make it
easier to gather the necessary elements.
Once you've settled on
a theme, begin your re-

Are you unhappy with your current advisor? Are your accounts receiving the service they deserve?
Are you struggling to manage your portfolio on your own? Has your portfolio not lived up to your expectations?
search by interviewing the
eventual recipient (he or
she doesn't have to know
the reason behind the inquiry).
During the interview,
take note of key dates and
try to establish the mood
of the era with supporting
materials. For example,
you may be able to find
samples of advertisements
from a correlating period
in history or newspaper
clippings that can be used
to fluff up the content of
the book.
In the meantime,
gather photos that can be
used in the scrapbook,
which may take some
hunting. Prints can be
scanned and copied via a
desktop scanner at home,
or loaded onto a CD or
thumb drive and brought
to a pharmacy photo kiosk. Some specialty shops
can even scan slides or
convert stills from film
into images. Make sure to
make copies of all original prints and be careful
not to lose or damage the
originals.
Scrapbooks can be
made manually with materials purchased anywhere from craft and
hobby stores to stationery
shops. There are a variety
of paper-cutting tools,
adhesives, stickers, labels,
and stencils that can be
used to enhance the look
of the scrapbook. There
also are computer software programs or online
tools through photo-sharing sites that enable you
to upload images and text
and design photo books
entirely online. Then the
finished product can be
printed out in a variety of
finishes. This method may
actually be preferable for
those who plan to save the
scrapbook or anticipate it
being such a big hit that
others will want their own
copies.
Create a digital file of
all of your information
and copies of images. This
way if you ever want to
add to the scrapbook or
reproduce information in
the future you will have all
of the information at your
fingertips. The scrapbook
also will serve as a good
source material down the
line should future generations want to learn about
their ancestors.
Scrapbooking is more
than just detailing baby's
first birthday or a vacation.
This popular pastime can
help document the life of
a special senior.

Advice: Preparing for hospice care
Sometimes patients
succumb to a disease, in
spite of the best treatments and support.
When the time comes
for a family to confront
a loved one's declining
health, hospice care can
be a dignified way to
make that person's final
days as comforting as
possible.
Hospice is a type of
care designed to make
the final moments of a
person's life as pain-free
and manageable as possible.
It can take place in a
medical facility, but very
often hospice care occurs at home or wherever
the ill person feels most
comfortable.
Hospice care is usually the last step when
all other options have
been exhausted. Making
the decision to move a
loved one to hospice care
can be an emotionally
wrenching time.
Decisions such as
these may be better made
at a time in a person's life
when he or she is not
sick.
That is why living wills
that spell out details for
end-of-life care can be
quite valuable.
Decisions are made
with a level head and not
wrought with emotions.
Such living wills also
can take the pressure off
of family members who
may not feel comfortable
making such decisions
on their own or in concert with relatives.
Hospice is a type of
care and a philosophy
that focuses on the palliative care of terminally
ill patients.
Rather than providing
medication to try to treat
the illness, medicine is
offered to make a person
more comfortable and
remove any pain.
Psychological therapy
may also be offered to
help the person come
to terms with the end of
life.
Although hospice is a
concept that has gradually evolved since the
11th century, the principles of modern hospice care can trace their
roots to the 1950s and

followed by the sick individual.

prefer. This may include

• Sign a medical durable power of attorney.
This signed document
gives authority to an
adult age 18 or older,
who then has the right to
make necessary medical
and healthcare decisions

not to be resuscitated.
This document must be

• Decide on the duration of care. Hospice

that patients who receive
hospice care for at least
30 to 60 days gain greater
benefit than those who
are placed in hospice
only in their final days.
• Investigate financial options for hospice.
Medicare and Medicaid
provide hospice coverage in 44 states. Many
private insurance plans
have a hospice benefit
as well. Understand how
payment is made to fig-
ure out if private funding
will be necessary.
Not all hospice programs are the same.
Certain core models
of care are followed by
many hospice facilities,
but options vary.
Hospice can provide
comfort in a person's
final days and help sufferers better enjoy life
and time spent with
loved ones in these last
days.

Seniors
Silver lining for cancer or Alzheimer's patients?
Cancer or Alzheimer's
disease is seldom something to cheer about.
But there may be one
positive to come from a
cancer or Alzheimer's diagnosis.
New research indicates older people who
have either Alzheimer's
or cancer are less likely to
get the other disease.
Although in essence
it is a no-win-scenario,
researchers at the National Research Council
of Italy in Milan, headed by study author Dr.
Massimo Musicco, have
found that having cancer seems to protect seniors from Alzheimer's
disease.
The reverse also appears to be true.
If you receive a diagnosis of Alzheimer's
disease, you are at a far
lower risk of developing cancer. Dr. Musicco
has said, "understanding
the mechanisms behind
this relationship may
help us better develop
new treatments for both
diseases."
Researchers studied
more than one million
residents of northern Italy, tracking them for six
years.
They found a 50 percent drop in cancer risk
for Alzheimer's patients
among the subjects age
60 and over, and a 35
percent reduction in Alzheimer's risk for those
with cancer.
Additional information suggests a similar
correlation between Parkinson's disease and cancer.
It is unclear what is behind this link, and there
remains the possibility
that both diseases can
occur concurrently.
Researchers believe
Historical society

meeting
on Thursday, Aug. 22,

After business is transacted, members will

County and Its Townships" to those in attendance.
Currently,
Myers

director for the Wapakoneta Area Economic
Development Council.
A longtime trustee of
the Cridersville Historical Society, Myers
is also a past trustee of
ACHS.
Myers served for many
years on the board of the

the lowered risk results
from opposite biological mechanisms of the
two diseases. Because
Alzheimer's
results
from brain cell death,
it may prevent cancer
because cancer forms
from uncontrolled cell
growth.
The study, which was
published in the July 10,
2013 issue of the journal
Neurology, did not take
into account lifestyle
factors, such as smoking, physical activity
and diet, which may influence the risk of these
diseases.
While receiving a
diagnosis of cancer or
Alzheimer's disease is
never a welcome development, the strange correlation between the diseases could give doctors
new clues into treatment
options for both conditions.
64 youth attend annual camp
BEARable for grieving youth
A total of 64 youth attended State of the Heart
Hospice’s thirteenth annual
Camp BEARable for grieving children held July 1214 at the Spiritual Center
at Maria Stein. Of the total
attending, only ten had any
association with hospice
care, stated Marlene Black,
State of the Heart Hospice
bereavement specialist and
camp director. Sixty seven
youth had signed up for
camp, a record number, but
three were unable to attend.
Those attending camp do
not need to have any association with hospice care.
“This year, we had nine
youth who had lost a parent to suicide,” Black said,
adding that this is the largest number she can recall
attending camp. “This is a
difficult loss,” she said. “The
kids do not understand
how a parent who loved
them could take their own
life. They have so many
unanswered questions.”
Thirty four youth had lost
a parent; 21 a grandparent,
three had lost both par-
ents, two had lost an uncle,
and four had lost a sibling.
Black said that there were
eight six-year-olds attending camp. “We have been
seeing younger children in
recent years,” she explained.
Children are segmented
into groups by age.
State of the Heart
Hospice, with offices in
Greenville, Coldwater and
Portland, provides care
to patients and families in
eastern Indiana and western Ohio who are confronting a life-limiting illness.
Grief support is provided
to both adults and children.
The camp is free and is offered to any child, six to 15
who is experiencing grief.
Over the last 13 years, over
500 young people have attended the camps.
This year, a panel made
of up a physician (Dr. Jim
Schwieterman); a minister
(Rev. Becky Erb-Strang of
the New Bremen United
Church of Christ), and a
funeral director (Phillip

Greenville) listened to
questions from the youth,
then responded to them.
“This was a wonderful
addition to camp,” Black
said. “Those on the panel
were so good at answering questions posed by
the young people at their
level. This was so helpful
to the youth as they do not
know who to go to in many
instances when they have a
question about the loss of
someone they loved and
who died. I would say this
was the most successful
part of camp.”
Amy Topp, Admissions
Liaison for State of the
Heart, attended camp as
a buddy this year for the
first time. Her experience,
she said, “was memorable.”
On Friday evening at the
start of camp, Topp spoke
with the youngsters about
the sudden death 15 years
ago of her older sister when
Amy was only eleven years
old. At times, she said, she
was emotional while talking of her loss.
The experience of
watching Amy speak emotionally about her loss at
a young age, “was a good
thing,” Black said. “It sent
an instant message to the
kids that it is okay to feel
sad about the loss of a loved
one and to cry.”
“As I was speaking to
them, I realized what they
were going through,” Topp
said. “Often, someone
grieving feels alone.” She
noted that as the weekend
progressed the children
“became more open with
one another, sharing hugs,
and exchanging phone
numbers to they could
keep in contact.”
Hospices nationwide
conduct camps similar to
Camp BEARable. Hospice
bereavement specialists
believe that early intervention with grieving children
can prevent problems such
as drug and alcohol ad-
diction and suicide, later
in life. Camp provides a
“safe” environment for kids
where they are surrounded
by their peers and with
adults they trust. Camp is
a mixture of fun and games
mixed with serious dialogue. Each child is paired
with a specially trained
buddy who is with them
for the weekend.
Chris Killian, who has
been a camp buddy and
has helped Black direct
the camp for a number
of years, said Topp’s story
about her own loss and
the sharing of information
from the panel were significant additions to the camp
experience. “Amy’s sharing
set the pace as the young
people saw that it was okay
to show your soft side, and
to show your emotions.
Those on the panel shared
personal stories also.” The
comments from the campers at a campfire Saturday
evening reflected that they
had connected with both
Topp and the panel, Killian
added.
This year, students from
a Registered Nursing class
at Edison Community College helped as buddies as
part of a community clinical service requirement
for their degrees. Jennifer
Stewart, a member of that
class and a LPN with State
of the Heart, attended camp
as a buddy. “It certainly
broadened the horizon for
me and my classmates,” she
said.
“Daily I am working
with patient care and do
not see the grieving side of
life, particularly how it impacts kids. Being at camp
helped me both personally
and professionally.”
The dates for next year’s
camp are July 11-13. For

the services provided by
State of the Heart, visit the

Area runners compete at the
preseason cross country meet
From Staff Reports
The Lady Wildcats opened the 2013 cross country season by winning their section
at the OHSAA Preseason Invitational in Hebron.
High school golfers
tee off the ‘13 season
CELINA — St. Henry
picked up the Mercer
County Elks girls golf invite title on Wednesday.
Led by Taylor Koesters' 91
and Haleigh Straughler's
97, the Redskins shot a
403 team score for the
win.
Coldwater's
Kelsey
Koesters was the invite
medalist with a 78 — 13
strokes better than the
second-best score.
Celina finished second
with a 413 score. Johna
Walls shot a 102, Camille
Smith had a 103 while
Kelly Stahl and Kailee
Ross both had 104s.
New Bremen finished
fourth with a 460 team
score. Mackenzie Howell
turned in a team-best 97
for the Cardinals. Sydney
Holdren shot a 118 and
Rachel Parker added a
122.

MINSTER — Xavier
Francis returned to the
form that made him one
of the Midwest Athletic
Conference’s top players
a season ago and the Minster Wildcats pulled away
for the Auglaize County
invitational win at Arrowhead Golf Club on
Wednesday.
Minster’s Francis fired
a medalist two-over par
74, while a trio of Wildcats — John Burke, Austin Brackman and Freddie
Purdy — all shot 77s.
The Wildcats shaved
16 strokes off their score
on the same course the
day before during the Cardinal Invitational. Francis
alone improved his score
by 10 strokes from the day
before.
Francis said the first
few rounds of the year
were frustrating for him,
but his game started to fall
into place on Wednesday.
“I’ve started off the year
really badly,” Francis said.
“I felt like today I found
my game again.”
Francis carried a 38 average per nine holes a season ago, so Minster head
coach Jay Purdy said he
and his team weren’t concerned with the hiccups in
the first couple rounds by
Francis.
“He expects to go out
there and shoot par every
day — and that’s great —
but it’s not always going to
happen,” Purdy said. “He
really puts a lot of pressure on himself, but he’s
so laid back you’d never
know it.”
St. Marys’ Carter Bowman finished second individually with a 76, helping the Roughriders to
a third-place team finish
with a 352 score. His putter kept him from putting
an even better score on
the board. Bowman made
a seven and followed it
with a bogey in the middle
of the front nine, but he
responded with a couple
birdies on the back nine
to card a 76.
“The putter let me
down today,” Bowman
said. “Everything else was
pretty good. I struck the
ball well, but the putter
let me down. I made that
seven, it led to another bogey, but I was able to make
a couple birdies to get my
round back on track.”
Wapakoneta took second as a team with a 335
score, led by Drew Wayman’s round of 77.
New Bremen finished
fourth with a 374 team
score. Alex Britton again
led the way for the Cardi-
nals with an 82.
David Boesche led New
Knoxville with a 97.
New Bremen takes to
the links again on Thursday at Delphos St. John’s
at 10 a.m. The rest of the
area’s teams will be back
in action on Friday for
the Celina Invitational at
Fox’s Den. That invite begins at 8:30 a.m.

Invitational.
HEBRON — Runners
from area cross country
teams began the season
at the OHSAA Preseason
High School Invitational
at National Trail Raceway
in Hebron, where the annual state cross country
championships will be
staged in October.
The sessions were broken down into lettered
sections.
The Minster girls won
their section, while New
Bremen and Minster's
boys teams turned in a
top-three finish.
New Knoxville's Cassie Boyle and Isaac Kuntz
were both individual section winners.
Girls Section C/D
Boyle, a Ranger senior
and former state qualifer, won the C/D section with a 20:16 time,
topping her next-closest
competitor by nearly
nine seconds.
New Knoxville's Hannah Privette finished fifth
with a 21:18.17 time.
Girls Section C
In the girls section C,
Minster's Julia Slonkosky finished fifth with
a 20:44.33 time. Katherine Burke was sixth
(20:59.95), Morgan Pohl
was seventh (21:10.36)
and Kaci Bornhorst was
eighth (21:17.99). Those
finishes gave Minster the
section C with 27 points.
New Bremen was sixth
with 176 points, led by
runner Kendra Paul, a
freshman, who turned
in a 23:49.69 time in the
section C event.
Boys Section A
Both New Bremen
and Minster turned in
strong team showings in
the section A boys event.
New Bremen finished
second with 110 points
while Minster was third
with 112 points.
Minster senior Domi-
nic Slonkosky won the
boys section A with a
16:39.42 time.
New Bremen sophomore Cort Speckman
led the Cardinals with
an 11th-place finish and
17:20.86.
Minster sophomore
Ben Butler finished ninth
with a 17:09.54 time, and
junior Andrew Fausey
took 13th (17:27.97).
New Bremen junior
Nathan Herriott took
17th (17:52.68) and senior Drew McClurg took
19th (17:55.45).
Boys Section A/B
New Knoxville senior
Isaac Kuntz, a former
state qualifer, won the
A/B section title with a
17;48.27 time. He was
followed in second place
by teammate sophomore
Jacob Shaw, who turned
in an 18:49.15 time.
Ranger sophomore Marcus Nitschke took sixth
with a 19:32.76 time.

Change is the name
of the game in 2013
BY DEAN EVERSOLE
Staff Writer
Change is the word of
the day for MAC football
2013. Two of the MAC’s
top programs the last
three years Minster and St.
Henry will be under new
guidance. Nate Moore
left Minster to take the
reins as the head coach at
Cincinnati LaSalle, while
Jeff Starkey departed St.
Henry to become the principle at the Lagrange High
School.
The new head Cat is
Geron Stokes, who comes
over from Urbana. St.
Henry plucked Brad Luthman off the Marion Local staff. Both coaches are
taking over squads coming
off playoff appearances,
but each was hit by graduation.
Stokes will need to replace a talented and extremely successful group.
He will start with Ethan
Wolf at tight end and defensive end. Luthman ‘s
job is not any easier as the
Skins said goodbye to a
number of two and three
year starters, including
quarterback Nate Stahl.
While those two programs change direction,
the Marion Local Flyers
remain squarely on course
for another state title run
with 17 varsity letterwinners returning. Tim Goodwin’s crew is coming off
their sixth state title and
with the squad nearly intact, a seventh is looking
more than possible.
Led by quarterback and
University of Pittsburgh
commit, Adam Bertke,
the Flyers are clearly the
favorite in MAC play and
in the newly created Division VII.
Right behind the Flyers
are the Coldwater Cavaliers. Although the Cavs
lost more player wise than
any other MAC team, they
have become experts in reloading. There is one thing
different this year however. The Cavs lost long
time assistant coach Tim
Hoyng, who retired and
Jason Hemmelgarn, who
has named the new high
school principle. Replacing those two parts may
prove more difficult than
perceived.
Delphos St. Johns returns one of the league’s
top running backs, Tyler
Jettinghoff , who rolled
to over 1800 yards rushing and 20 touchdowns..
Helping Jettinghoff will be
full back Luke MaLennan,
who rushed for over 600
yards. St. Johns will also
move to the new D-VII,
that means once again it
could come down to the
Flyers and Jays, one more
time.
The Versailles Tigers’
2012 season ended at 5-5,
but could have easily been
8-2. This year the Tigers
could be the surprise of
the MAC with a senior
laden team. Coach Adam
Miller in his second year,
will have a senior in almost every spot, including
quarterback Nick Campbell. Versailles dropped to
D-VI after playing D-V the
previous seasons.
Anna returns a number
of key starters including
1,000 yard rusher Chris-
tian Williams. The Rockets missed the playoffs in
2012,but behind Williams
and a strong rushing game
Anna should be in contention for a playoff birth.
Like Versailles, the Rockets are now in D-VI and
will play in Region 22.
Ft. Recovery will have
to replace Mason Evers at
quarterback. One of those
hoping to pick up the slack
will be Kyle Timmerman.
The Indians are looking to
continue building on some
past successes.
Parkway suffered a season of injuries last year,
leaving head coach Dan
Cairnes with very few options. Quarterback Austin
Dennsion will have to add
to his 1000 yards passing if
the Panthers are going to
improve on last season.
New Bremen is suffering from lack of numbers
as they have less then
40 players on the roster. Quarterback Garrett
Westerbeck and wide out
Carson Manger are keys
for the Cards' success and
will need a strong 2013
season.
Schedule for week one
of football:
Aug. 30

• Kenton at Coldwater
• Marion Local at Shawnee

Coach Geron Stokes looking to build on success
MINSTER — New
head football coach
Geron Stokes takes over a
Minster football program
that has experienced
some major success the
past few seasons. The
Wildcats are in the midst
of their best run since
the late 1980s and early
1990s, having won at least
one playoff game the last
three seasons.
But Minster underwent wholesale change
since bowing out of the
playoffs to eventual state
champion Marion Local
last November.
Former head coach
Nate Moore left to take
the head coaching position at Cincinnati LaSalle,
and the Wildcats lost
leading passer Adam Niemeyer (2,441 yards, 22
TDs), leading rusher Korey Schultz (1,334 yards,
16 TDs) and leading
receiver Devon Poeppelman (58 receptions, 784
yards, 7 TDs) to graduation.
Stokes, who was a fouryear starting quarterback
at Urbana High School
and a starter for three seasons at Urbana University
and Wittenberg University, led Urbana to the postseason twice in his four
seasons as the Hillclimbers' head coach and won a
trio of conference titles.
Stokes talked about the
early process of working
with a new group and imparting his vision.
"It's about getting to
know each other," Stokes
said. "Every day is a learning process. You have to
communicate your expectations. It's made me
a better football coach because these are phenomenal kids to work with."
"Passion.
We're
preached passion over
and over again," Stokes
said. "No matter what
you're doing in life you
want to be about passionate people in life. That's
the way the game of football is meant to be played.
If you're playing passionate, you're probably playing with toughness, energy, enthusiasm. That's
all we're asking for. If we
have 55 kids playing with
passion, I think we're going to win a lot of football
games."
While many of the key
skill position players from
last year's nine-win team
graduated, Stokes still
has some talent to work
with, including a future
Southeastern Conference
player at tight end.
Senior tight end Ethan
Wolf, who caught 43 passes for 563 yards and eight
touchdowns in 2012, is
committed to play for the
University of Tennessee.
"He's a great kid,"
Stokes said. "He is a great
high school football player. My job is to help him
reach his potential. He
has no clue how high his
potential is. He can get so
much better and he will.
He's a great football player and I'm glad he's on my
team."
Sophomore Josh Nixon
will be the new starting
quarterback, taking over
after the graduation of re-
The Cats will look to continue their strong defensive efforts in 2013 under new Coach Geron Stokes, who took
over for Nate Moore.
cord-setting quarterback
Adam Niemeyer. "He's
leading the way there,"
Stokes said. "Hopefully
he can move into that position. It's a tough void to
fill, to replace a guy like
Adam Niemeyer."
The offensive line will
feature returning senior
standouts Wes Hegemann
at tackle and Clay Brown
at guard, along with senior Jon Huecker at center and junior Hayden
Schindler at left tackle.
Senior Prater Otting and
sophomore Josh Otting
are competing for one of
the guard spots.
A trio of running backs
will compete for the tailback position with sophomore Jacob Stechschulte,
senior Paul Dues and
junior Sam Dues getting
reps in the preseason.
Stokes has a cadre of
wide receivers working
for playing time, including A.J. Huelsman, Eli
Wolf, Jacob Dues, Jared
Thobe and John Baumer.
Most of the offensive
line will also be on the defensive front for the Wildcats. Brown, Hegemann,
Schindler, Prater Otting
and Ethan Wolf will make
up that unit.
Scott Sekas, Paul Dues,
Joe Trzaska, Eli Wolf are
in the mix at linebacker.
Stechschulte, Huelsman, Sam Dues, Paul
Dues Baumer, Thobe are
among the large group
working for time in the
secondary.
Minster moves to the
newly-formed Division
VII this season.

Stokes must replace.
