Midmark traces its roots back to Minster
By DEAN EVERSOLE
Staff Writer
VERSAILLES - The Midmark Corporation of Versailles
is celebrating 100 years in business, but the company’s roots
are found in Minster.
Mitch Eiting, son of Jim Eiting recently talked about the
history of Midmark at the Versailles Historical Museum. The
company traces its beginning
to the former Cummins Machine Company of Minster.
The company produced
concrete mixers, using a design and patent created by E.C
Cummins. Cummins came to
Minster after hearing the village was the perfect place for
business. It wasn’t until a few
years later the Eiting family
entered the picture.
“My great-great grandfather
John Eiting was appointed the
board president. He was never
officially an employee of the
company and he worked at
Minster Machine,” said Eiting.
The company like so many
was dramatically impacted by
the Great Depression. The
company was kept breathing
by the dedication of the employees and personal sacrifices..
“There is a story I was told
that John Eiting was at a local
grocery store and a clerk asked
him how things were going
at the company. He said not
good, not good. I had to use
my personal finances to make
payroll once again,” said Jim
Eiting.
But the company kept pushing forward and eventually
became Industrial Equipment
Company. Things were going well through the 1940s
and 1950s, but there was one
young man concerned with
the company’s future.
“My dad, Jim Eiting said
he just couldn’t see how the
company had a future. He
felt the economic sector they
were in just had too much
competition,”said Mitch Eiting.
So Jim started looking for
another path, one that would
secure the future of the company. He found it in Indiana. Jim
purchased the blueprints and
left-over products from bank-
rupt American
Metal Furniture Company.
With
items
in hand, Jim
still faced one
major obstacle, convincing his father
Carl, who was
not thrilled
by the looming concept of
change.
“Dad ( Jim)
said that was
the most difficult sales pitch
he ever had
to give,” said
Mitchell Eiting.

Marion Local students share a day at the wax museum
By BOB BLINDAUER
Staff Writer
MARIA STEIN — Figures of world
renowned men and women were assembled everywhere throughout the
two huge rooms. Young and old clamored to see and meet them. The characters were just as eager to share their
stories with those who had come for
them. Pete Rose was there. Cleopatra.
Pocahontas. Walt Disney Amelia Earhart. Princess Diana. Coach K. Alive
or brought back to life, these were just
a few of the names on hand of the dozens of historical characters portrayed
by the 5th graders at Marion Local Elementary on May 8.
As part of a now annual class project for 5th graders at the school, these
students researched the lives and
times of their favorite characters and
then did their best to emulate them
in look, dress and mannerisms. They
were then tasked with relating their
stories to anyone who pressed a bottleStaff photo/Bob Blindauer

Adam Sandler. Many other historic
and famous figures filled out the gym
and the adjoining room.
“We’ve been doing this for well over
a decade,” said Beth Mescher, one of
the teachers coordinating the program.
“Now they use their Chromebooks to
research the life of any famous person.”
The students also still use the library
but can access information on the internet through their Chromebook.
They have to been taught to cite their
sources. “We teach them how to write,
editing skills, confirming their facts.
They write a biography. This is just a
snapshot of their life. They really feel
like they own their famous person.
They’re proud of each other,” noted
Mescher.

Delivering affordable electric power to Minster
By BOB BLINDAUER
Staff Writer
MINSTER — As dust settles on Council approval
of the new electric rate structure, the fact that rates
will go up for everyone In Minster, residential, commercial and industrial alike gives rise to the obvious
question of value for the energy dollar. Sitting down
with Village Administrator Don Harrod and Electric
Department Director John Neuman helped to assess
Minster’s energy program in the immediate if not
long term.
Essential reasoning for the increase coming is that
Minster, even though it works in partnership with 180
other members of AMP Partners,
still must face the realities of declining reliance on coal power plants to
provide power while cleaner, renewable forms of energy provision, such
as solar and wind, aren’t as reliable.
Other factors, such as increased costs
Harrod
to distribute that power, also add to
the increase equation. Harrod pointed to several million dollars invested since the last rate hike in 2010,
and that, for example, a transformer costing $8,000
then, now costs $25,000.
Minster has been providing power for over 100
years and certainly has no plans other than to contin-
ue doing just that. It has proven to be very resourceful in how it has acquired energy for distribution to
all its customers, no matter the need. It has done this,
as Harrod pointed out, very reliably, “99.9% of the
time.”
It has also diversified its sources for acquiring power, whether from it comes from hydro-electric, Prairie
State Coal, gas-fired plants, Niagara Falls and market
power. Minster works with its power advisor AMP to
maintain the mix and keep costs in line.
The next source to come on line will be solar, as

Our Old Book Case
Preserving Banner Fair history
By JOYCE ALIG
president, Mercer County
Historical Society
The Mercer County
Fair does not begin in August for the students and
adults preparing for the
fair. Preparation for the
Mercer County Fair is a
twelve-month series of
events.
The Mercer County
Fair does not begin in August for the members of
the Mercer County Agricultural Society Board of
Directors. They are better
known as the Fair Board,
and they also work the
year-round, planning and
implementing, not only
for the Mercer County
Fair, but also for the maintenance of the buildings
and grounds of the Mercer
County Fair by the Mercer County maintenance
staff members.
The Mercer County
Fair Ground is owned by
the County. The Fair is
governed by the Ohio Department of Agriculture,
and is managed by a local
Board of Directors, elected for a three-year term,
six being elected yearly.
For all of the volunteers
who help make the Mercer County Fair possible,
we extend our thanks and
appreciation.
What made the 1908
Mercer County Fair
unique? The year before,
at the 1907 Mercer County Fair, Secretary Vining
initiated “Old Soldiers’
Day,” which brought a tremendous crowd and was
the biggest drawing card
ever attempted by the
Fair management. About
eighteen thousand people
passed through the gates
of the Fairgrounds that
day.
The August 14, 1908
Daily Standard newspa-
per reported, “Old Soldiers. The Banner Fair on
Wednesday, August 19,
will be a great gala day for
Veterans. The courtesy extended to the Veterans by
the Managers of the Banner Fair is one that meets
with ready appreciation
and the custom inaugurated here by Secretary
Vining is fast being adopted by the fairs throughout
the country. The Soldiers
will all be right royally
welcomed on Wednesday
next and every effort will
be made by the Banner
Fair management to make
the day as pleasurable as
possible.”
This information is
found in the book, “The
Mercer County Fair,
Celina, Ohio; 18522002,” on page 21. Mike
Niekamp, Mercer County
Fair board, had asked the
Mercer County Historical
Society to provide an historical book for the 150th
Anniversary of the 2002
Mercer County Fair, with
a short deadline “to do
the research and put the
book together, with photographs and text, and get
the book to the printer.”
Fran Guilbault agreed to
read the newspaper microfilm, 1852-2002, and
write about each fair. I
agreed to type that book
and add photographs to
illustrate events at the fair
for the book. Mike Niekamp agreed to support our
work on the book through
the Mercer County Fair
board, for that five months
of work.
Within five months,
Fran and I had the book
ready to print. The book
information was not taken
from the minutes of the
Fair board. The information was found in the
newspaper on the microfilm. Fran Guilbault did
an outstanding piece of
research, and shared the
stories of the County Fair,
with Mercer Countians.
In 2052, the Agricultural Society of Ohio will
be celebrating the Bicentennial of Ohio’s County
Fairs. Today’s young
people should be keeping annual records of the
events at our County
Fair, and putting the information together, so
that they are ready to celebrate the Bicentennial
of Ohio’s County Fair in
2052. Maybe they should
be taking photographs
of the 2015 Banner Fair,
so that they have some
historic photographs of
their grandparents, their
parents, uncles and aunts,
cousins, siblings and
friends at the fair to include in the 2052 Bicentennial History Book of
the Mercer County Fair.
Remind them to make
some prints of those photographs, because their
digital photographs and
cell phone photographs,
and CD photographs
will be outdated because
those electronics will be
‘outdated and historic,’ in
2052.
Ask the Fair Board
members to set up a file
box, to preserve the 2015
photographs, stories, ribbons and other memorabilia for the next four
decades, so that future
Fair goers will have their
historical items available
for the 2052 Bicentennial Celebration. Do not
wait until five months before the 2052 Fair to get
started!

Armed Forces Day, May 16
On August 31, 1949, Secretary of Defense Louis
Johnson announced the creation of an Armed Forces
Day to replace separate Army, Navy and Air Force Days.
The single-day celebration stemmed from the unification of the Armed Forces under one department -- the
Department of Defense. Each of the military leagues
and orders was asked to drop sponsorship of its specific service day in order to celebrate the newly announced Armed Forces Day. The Army, Navy and Air
Force leagues adopted the newly formed day. The Marine Corps League declined to drop support for Marine
Corps Day but supports Armed Forces Day, too.
In a speech announcing the formation of the day,
President Truman “praised the work of the military services at home and across the seas” and said, “it is vital
to the security of the nation and to the establishment of
a desirable peace.” In an excerpt from the Presidential
Proclamation of Feb. 27, 1950, Mr. Truman stated:
“Armed Forces Day, Saturday, May 20, 1950, marks
the first combined demonstration by America’s defense
team of its progress, under the National Security Act,
towards the goal of readiness for any eventuality. It is
the first parade of preparedness by the unified forces of
our land, sea, and air defense”.
The theme of the first Armed Forces Day was
“Teamed for Defense.” It was chosen as a means of expressing the unification of all the military forces under
a single department of the government. Although this
was the theme for the day, there were several other purposes for holding Armed Forces Day. It was a type of
“educational program for civilians,” one in which there
would be an increased awareness of the Armed Forces. It was designed to expand public understanding of
what type of job is performed and the role of the military in civilian life. It was a day for the military to show
“state-of- the-art” equipment to the civilian population
they were protecting. And it was a day to honor and
acknowledge the people of the Armed Forces of the
United States.
According to a New York Times article published on
May 17, 1952: “This is the day on which we have the
welcome opportunity to pay special tribute to the men
and women of the Armed Forces ... to all the individu

als who are in the service of their country all over the
world. Armed Forces Day won’t be a matter of parades
and receptions for a good many of them. They will all
be in line of duty and some of them may give their lives
in that duty.”
The first Armed Forces Day was celebrated by parades, open houses, receptions, and air shows. In Washington D.C., 10,000 troops of all branches of the military, cadets, and veterans marched past the President
and his party. In Berlin, 1,000 U.S. troops paraded for
the German citizens at Templehof Airfield. In New York
City, an estimated 33,000 participants initiated Armed
Forces Day “under an air cover of 250 military planes
of all types.” In the harbors across the country were the
famed mothballed “battlewagons” of World War II, the
Missouri, the New Jersey, the North Carolina, and the
Iowa, all open for public inspection. Precision flying
teams dominated skies as tracking radar were exhibited
on the ground. All across the country, the American
people joined together to honor the Armed Forces.
“The heritage of freedom must be guarded as carefully in peace as it was in war. Faith, not suspicion, must
be the key to our relationships. Sacrifice, not selfishness, must be the eternal price of liberty. Vigilance, not
appeasement, is the byword of living freedoms. ...”

Eldora
Schatz, Grant earn victories at Eldora
Donny Schatz swept the
‘Mother of All Sprint Car Weekends’ by winning both Friday
and Saturday’s World of Outlaws (WoO) Sprint Car races
and Justin Grant made a last lap
pass to win the United States
Auto Club (USAC) Sprint Car
race at Eldora Speedway in
Rossburg, Ohio.
It was Schatz’s eighth World
of Outlaws victory in 2015 as
he led all 30 laps after starting
from the pole.
“I don’t know if we dominated, but we have a great race
team,” Schatz said. “These guys
do a phenomenal job every
time we hit the track. Thanks
to the fans for sticking with
us. The weather was iffy and I
didn’t think we were going to
get it in. Hats off to everybody
for sticking with it.”
Schatz last won at Eldora at
the Kings Royal in July 2009,
but came back to dominate
winning both Friday’s and Saturday’s race. Gary Taylor was
second, while Paul McMahan,
Joey Saldana and Kerry Madsen rounded out the top-five.
“We love winning at Eldora,
so to get two wins here is awesome,” Schatz said. “The track
was so good. You could carry so
much speed and the times were
way down. I don’t remember the
last time you could run around
that fast through the feature.
We got to watch the non-wing
race too and the guy won it on
the last lap with a slide job, so
that was pretty cool to see.”
Grant was that guy as he
passed C.J. Leary on the last lap
to win the USAC Sprint Car
race. It was Grant’s third career
USAC Sprint Car win and a
heartbreaker for Leary who is
still seeking his first victory.
As they took the white flag,
Grant went low, while Leary
went high as they both passed a
lapped car. Grant slid ahead in
turn one and led the rest of the
lap to take the win. Leary led
the other 29 laps after starting
on the pole.
“After the first five laps, I
knew our car was better,” Grant
said. “I was trying to not mess
anything up and we got an
opening as he got caught in
lapped traffic. I figured we are
going to win this thing or end
up in a big ball down in turn
one. It all worked out.”
Following Leary in third
place was Tracy Hines, while
Aaron Farney and Robert Ballou rounded out the top-five.
Ballou won Friday night’s
USAC Sprint car race.
“This is awesome,” Grant
said. “I wanted to win a USAC
race here forever. C.J. did an
awesome job. You want to be
heartbroken for him, as long
as you’re not the one that beat
him.”
The next event at Eldora
Speedway is the always exciting
Family Fireworks Night featuring the DIRTcar UMP Modifieds and a double feature for
the Eldora Stocks.

Wilson adds new equipment to birthing center
The
Copeland-Emerson
Family Birth Center is unique
when it comes to patient care.
The Birth Center staff provides
care to not only one patient, but
typically two – the mom and
the baby. In the case of multiple
births, twins, for example, the
number of patients requiring
care increases accordingly.
These days, patients want a
more natural birthing experience which includes the ability
to move around in their rooms
and walk the hallways during
the labor process. The Mini
Telemetry System provides the
technology to allow laboring
mothers to do so and eliminates the need to be “plugged
in” within four feet of the bedside monitor.
Laboring patients are often
able to move into a more comfortable position which can
reduce pain and, if a mother is
more relaxed and comfortably
situated, the benefit for the
baby is improved fetal engagement into the pelvis to help
expedite delivery. In addition,
better positioning and being
upright can also result in enhanced oxygenation to the fetus as well.
During labor this mini-telemetry system will transmit
contraction tracing and the
baby’s heart rate into the Birth
Center’s computer system
while permitting the patient to
ambulate as she chooses.
In 2014, there have been 820
births with approximately twothirds being vaginal deliveries.
These mothers and babies who
experienced normal deliveries would have benefitted from
the use of the mini-telemetry
system. In addition, Wilson
is focusing on decreasing the
number of primary C-sections
which would increase the number of patients who could use
the system.
The total cost for the new
equipment was nearly $5,500.
Wilson Memorial Hospital received grants from two charitable funds: $3,000 from the
Monarch Legacy Fund of the
Community Foundation of
Shelby County; and $1,000
from the St. Jacob Evangelical
Lutheran Church Endowment
Fund.
“Charitable donations such
as these help our hospital continue to make positive improvements to the services offered to
our community,” said Bonnie
Faulkner, executive director of
the Wilson Foundation.
Nancy Schwartz, Administrative Coordinator in the
Copeland-Emerson
Family
Birth Center, just delivered her
fourth child. She was one of
the first to use the mini-telemetry system and said, “Having
the ability to walk made me
feel more comfortable with
contractions and shortened the
time I spent in labor. I wish
this technology had been available when I delivered my other
three children.”
For information about making a donation to the hospital,
call the Wilson Foundation at
(937) 498-5540 or visit the
foundation’s website at wilsonhospitalfoundation.com.

Springtime allergies nothing to sneeze about
By BOB BLINDAUER
Staff Writer
Who hasn’t been looking forward to the end of winter and the return of spring?
Those who suffer from allergies caused by pollen,
not so much.
The season has indeed changed. Spring is now upon
us — bringing with it the return of allergy-causing pollen. In early spring, tree pollens are often a big problem
for people with seasonal allergies. By late spring and
summer, grass pollens then join the airstream. Also, by
late summer and autumn, weed pollens can then add a
fresh round of misery.
Pollens, those microscopic grains, play a necessary
role in plant fertilization. If you’re allergic to specific
pollens, being around them can trigger the telltale
symptoms of an allergy attack: A runny or stuffy nose;
itchy nose, eyes, ears, throat, or roof of the mouth; red,
watery eyes; and, of course, sneezing.
Thankfully, there’s much you can do to ease your suffering. Ask your doctor about allergy medicines and allergy shots. Also, consider taking these precautions to
minimize your exposure to pollen:
Keep pollen outside where it belongs. Close the windows in your home and car.
Run air conditioning when you can, keeping the air
indoors clean as practicable. Avoid window fans. They
just bring more pollen into your home.
Check weather reports for local pollen counts or allergy websites, such as the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology. Try to limit the time you
spend outside on high-pollen days.
If your allergy symptoms are severe, consider a pollen mask when pollen levels are high and you need to
be out for long periods of time.
Avoid outdoor activities early in the morning. Pollen levels tend to peak then. Pollen levels may also be
elevated on hot, dry, breezy days.
Be aware that pollen can cling to your skin, hair and
clothing. Shower and wash your hair when you come
inside after an extended period of time outdoors.
Change into clean clothes, toss dirty ones into the
washing machine.
Don’t hang wet clothes or sheets outside to dry. Use
a clothes dryer instead.
Vacuum weekly, which helps remove some of the
pollen carried inside by people and pets. Use a vacuum
cleaner with a small particle or HEPA filter.
Know what’s growing in your lawn. Some types of
grass, such as Bermuda grass, Johnson grass and rye
grass, are more likely to cause allergy problems. Consider replacing them with ground covers that don’t produce much pollen, such as bunchgrass, dichondra or
Irish moss.
Have someone else mow the lawn, if possible, and
Pollen in the air can make springtime allergies difficult
to live with.
keep it cut short.
Choose less allergenic plants for your garden as well.
Plants with colorful or scented flowers—such as the
dahlia, daisy, geranium, rose, snapdragon, and tulip—
produce heavy, waxy pollen that do not get airborne.
These are a better choice for people with pollen allergies.
Avoid touching your face when working in the garden or yard. When you’re done, leave your gardening
gloves and tools outside.
Minimizing exposure to pollen should help you
avoid becoming victimized by it and give you much
sought-after relief from this seasonal scourge.
Most Americans don’t know common stroke signs
If you’re like most Americans, you don’t know the
signs of stroke.
Only 8 percent of those recently surveyed in the
American Stroke Association/Ad Council Stroke
Awareness Continuous Tracking Study could identify
each letter in F.A.S.T., an acronym of the most common
stroke warning signs.
“Anyone can have a stroke and everyone should be
ready,” said Kelli Dixon, Executive Director of the Miami Valley Division of the American Heart Association,
who, as part of American Stroke Month in May is urging Allen County residents to download a free mobile
app to learn how to detect a stroke.
“Learning how to spot a stroke is just as important as
teaching your family CPR or what to do in the event of
a fire. With stroke — just like a cardiac arrest or a fire —
seconds count,” she said.
F.A.S.T. is:
F - Face Drooping: Does one side of the face droop
or is it numb? Ask the person to smile.
A - Arm Weakness: Is one arm weak or numb? Ask
the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift
downward?
S - Speech Difficulty: Is speech slurred, are they
unable to speak, or are they hard to understand? Ask
the person to repeat a simple sentence like, “The sky is
blue.” Is the sentence repeated correctly?
T - Time to call 9-1-1: If the person shows any of
these symptoms, even if the symptoms go away, call
9-1-1 and get them to the hospital immediately.
Additional stroke signs include: sudden severe headache with no known cause; sudden trouble walking,
dizziness, loss of balance or coordination; sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes; or sudden confusion or
trouble understanding.
Teaching people how to recognize a stroke and respond quickly is a primary goal of the American Stroke
Association’s Together to End Stroke initiative, spon-

“Many people think of strokes as a disease of the
elderly, but it can happen to anyone at any time, even
very young people,” said Dixon. “When someone recognizes a stroke and quickly calls 9-1-1, the person has
a greater chance of getting to an appropriate hospital
quickly and being assessed for a clot-busting drug or
other medical devices that may save their life and improve their chances for recovery,”

Prueter completes certification
Preventing inflammation
with different foods
Those outside of the
medical profession may
consider inflammation
a negative thing. However, inflammation is
an attempt by the human body to heal itself.
Inflammation that does
not overstay its welcome can help protect
the body from bacterial
and viral infections.
Inflammation can be
poor for health when
it is a constant occurrence.
Autoimmune
diseases often trigger
inflammatory responses even when there is
no threat of infection,
and that can cause
the immune system
to damage its own tissues. The right diet can
help reduce instances
of inflammation, and
the following are some
ingredients to consider
eating more of to fight
symptoms of inflammation.
•Ginger: Researchers at the University
of Michigan Medical
School found that ginger supplements reduced markers of colon
inflammation in a select group of patients.
In the study, conducted
over a period of 28 days,
30 patients were randomly assigned either
two grams of ginger
root supplements per
day or a placebo. After
28 days, patients who
had taken the ginger
supplements had significant reductions in
inflammation. That's a
considerable finding, as
colon inflammation has
been linked to a higher
risk of colon cancer.
•Turmeric:
Used
primarily for flavoring, turmeric is a spice
closely related to ginger and contains polyphenolic compounds
known to help in the
fight against inflammation. Turmeric can
be added to stews and
sauces, and some studies have indicated that
it can alleviate the pain
caused by osteoarthritis, a potentially painful
condition that occurs
when the joints' natural
shock absorbers break
down.
• Extra-virgin olive
oil: Extra-virgin olive
oil is a staple of the
Mediterranean diet, an
approach to eating that
emphasizes fish, fruits,
vegetables, beans, and
whole grains. The Mediterranean diet can reduce inflammation, and
it also has been linked
to a lower risk of heart
attack and heart disease. It may even help
prevent stroke and Alzheimer's disease.
• Vegetables: Men
and women who eat lots
of different vegetables
may be less likely to
develop inflammation.
According to a study
by the American Gut
Project, people who eat
more than 25 species of
plants per week have a
greater assortment of
bacteria in their stomachs than those who eat
fewer than 10 per week.
That's because the
greater variety of produce and legumes helps
to increase the amount
of healthy bacteria lining human stomachs,
and that healthy bacteria helps to reduce
instances of inflammation.
•Omega-3 fatty acids: Omega-3 fatty acids, commonly found
in certain types of fish,
help suppress cytokines
and other inflammatory
chemicals. Salmon, herring, sardines, and anchovies are loaded with
omega-3 fatty acids,
and eating fish twice a
week can not only reduce inflammation but
also decrease levels of
LDL cholesterol, often referred to as "bad"
cholesterol.
A certain amount
of inflammation is a
good thing. But men
and women who find
themselves routinely
battling inflammation
may want to make certain dietary changes to
counter their inflammation problems.

A New Bremen Assisted
Living Executive Director
has successfully completed
the training program and
examination for Ohio Assisted Living Executives,
and has been awarded an
Ohio Certification.
Kimberly L. Prueter,
Executive Director at
