According to Village Solicitor Jim Hearns there are clauses protecting the village. “There seems to be very little environmental concerns with the facility, but we put an out clause in case something was to happen.” Harrod informed the council he has done extensive research into similar facilities, including phone conversations with towns currently using them. ––––––––––––––– See COUNCIL Page 2A Now it’s got a ring to it By BOB BLINDAUER Staff Writer MINSTER — Championship season. Old song line says, “It don’t mean a thing until you get that ring.” For the Wildcats football team, getting the ring just cemented what they had accomplished this past season. They handed out that hefty handware Friday afternoon at the High School. As they completed their classes for the day, members and coaches of Minster’s State Champion football team headed to the cafeteria to collect the rings that they had worked so hard to earn ... and pay for. As they tried them on for the first time, the pleasure of the moment was apparent. The weight and size of the rings gave it a winning-the––––––––––––––– Super Bowl-like feel to the See RING Page 2A simple proceedings. Stallo Library closes out annual book sale By BOB BLINDAUER Staff Writer MINSTER — Saturday morning , Feb. 7, from 10 a.m. on patrons filtered into the Stallo Library and wound their way around tables of books, audiobooks, CDs and DVDs that were all being offered as part of the last day of the annual Friends of the Library book sale. Branch supervisor Becky Prenger announced more than a few times this day that everything on these tables was available “for $1 a bag or box.” Fortunately for these patrons, the library was ready with boxes and bags on hand. Money notwithstanding, the only limitation anyone really had was how many pounds of book booty they could carry away. Perusing the tables laid out throughout the libraries main floor, one could find something to pique reader interest whether the category was children’s, history, how-tos, mystery, nonfiction, nov- els, romance, science fiction, et al. Generally, everything appeared to be arranged in a general order, but as people had been coming to the sale and rummaging “through the stacks” throughout the week, doesn’t mean everything was still in apple-pie order. Consequently, as these patrons on this last day of the sale wound their way through, it was clear their focus was intent on the books laid out before them, eyes like lasers scanning covers and titles in anticipation of finding and adding to their own personal book collections. Young children in tow behind their moms were pleased to be able to pick out books that they could actually take home and keep. The moms seemed certainly happy with this arrangement as well. Everyone of any age pleasantly went about the task of seek and ye shall find in quiet expectation.

Following the energy discussion Harrod addressed possible funding for the canal development. “Mayor Kitzmiller and I attended a meeting in St. Marys concerning the canal. Governor Kasich is offering a program called Innovation Fund Program,” noted Harrod. “St. Marys, Spencerville, New Bremen and Ft. Loramie are already joining. Basically it’s a program that will offer $500,000 (to be divided between the communities) in zero interest loans used to develop the canal.” The participating communities would work together in developing an economic plan at a cost of of $4,000$5,000 for each community. “At the end of the process we would be able to re- Thursday, February 12, 2015 ceive the money, currently that would be $100,000,” said Mayor Kitzmiller. Council member Nicole Clune noted developing the canal south of town would be beneficial. “There really is nothing between here and Ft. Loramie. This could be a nice stepping stone between the communities especially south,” said Clune. Council member Rich Schwartz agreed with Clune. “The path between Ft. Loramie and Minster really isn’t opened up and it would be nice (to develop that area),” said Schwartz. Council member Tom Herkenhoff noted he was concerned if joining the group would alter Minster’s current plans for the canal. “I wonder if this is worth spending the money on?” said Herkenhoff. “We have done a lot of things with the canal and I’m concerned joining the group could interfere with future plans.” The council approved and passed the first read- ing and decided more discussion was required before moving any further. Other council action: -Approved an amendment to Ordinance 15-01-01, allowing the chief of police to establish residency outside of the village. -Amended Ordinance 15-01-04, Minster Income Tax Ordinance. This would allow 60 percent of the tax revenues to be placed in the general fund and 40 percent into capital improvement fund. Currently 60 percent goes into the capital fund with 40 percent into the general fund. -Approved the first reading of Ordinance 15-0202 allowing the annexation of land from the Jackson Township to Minster Village. The annexed land was formally Dr. Bergman’s office and is currently owned by Joint Township Memorial Hospital. Council will convene again on Tuesday, Feb. 17 at 6:30 p.m. at the Village Administration Building.

The ring company representative congratulated each one as he presented their ring to them. He also made sure they were aware that the rings could be resized for a lifetime. Saying this gave recognition to the fact that this was one of those lifetime milestone achievements to be savored not only in the moment but for a long time to come. Receiving them and wearing them allowed them do just that for the first time. For more coverage of the team’s championship celebration at Saturday night’s varsity basketball game, see page 8B.

King David had sinned with Bathsheba and the prophet Nathan confronted him about his sin. David got alone with God (in Psalm 51) and poured out his confession for his sin. Notice his request: (1) create in me a CLEAN heart, O God; (2) renew a RIGHT spirit within me. This is God’s remedy when one of His children sins. We NEED a clean heart - not a new heart; and we NEED a right spirit - not a new spirit. May we be as honest with God concerning our sins as David was with his own! Just my thoughts...

Pastor Meyer is a con- President, Mercer County Historical Society A young lady recently asked me to write about the African American History in Mercer County, in respect for Black History Month in February. Since this is a major topic to address in one article, I will address highlights of this history in relation to my research at the Mercer County Historical Museum. Alma May shared a copy of her Thesis for the Graduate School of Arts and Science at University of Dayton, printed in 1968. This Thesis had the title of “The Negro and Mercer County.” She was one of the first local historians who did a detailed academic study of this topic. The next year, in 1969, Bronsart H. Gilberg wrote about the Underground Railroad in relation to Mercer County, but he did not document his resources and, therefore, I cannot confirm his stories. When I was working on the book, “Those Magnificent Big Barns of Mercer County, Ohio,” Dale Hertel told me that the Johannes Yaney Barn, 5099 Coldwater Creek Road, was built in 1850, and there was a space under the bank of the bank barn used for the Underground Railroad. Another person told me that a home in Celina was used for the Underground Railroad, but when I did the research about that home, at the Courthouse I learned that particular home was constructed after the Civil War was over and could not have been a part of the Underground Railroad. Documentation of research is quite important in local history; oral history may or may not be valid. Beware, some authors like to sensationalize and do not provide documentation for their work; and, as a result, the public receives invalid information which destroys true historical research. The oldest school for adults in Mercer County, was the Wattles Negro Industrial School, begun in 1835. One Wattles School Teacher held night school at St. Henry to teach the English Language to those who spoke German.

Kansas State Historical Society. Augustus Wattles (1807-1876) is buried at Mound City, KS. On November 11, 1842, the Wattles School became known as Emlen Institution, so named until it closed in 1857. References to the Emlen Institute can be found in the County History Books, dated 1882, 1907, and 1978. Ulrich F. Mueller, C.PP.S. wrote the book, “Red, Black & White,” c. 1935, which relates history as early as the Native Americans. In 1857, Rev. Van den Broeck baptized twentyfour African Americans at the Catholic Churches at St. Henry and Philothea. The Saint Charles Seminary was not established at this site until 1861. The African American Cemetery at Carthagena, has U.S. soldiers who served in the military. Allen Bernard sent a copy of Nancy Aiken, Ph.D. and Michel Perdreau’s article entitled “African-Americans in Ohio, 1839-1863,” published in 1995. On March 22, 2007, I wrote about the Randolph’s Freedmen, where John Randolph’s estate plans were for his freed slaves to resettle, and William Leigh, Executor, commissioned Samuel Jay to purchase land, which he did, in Mercer County. For some reason, those freedmen were not permitted to leave the canal at New Bremen to settle in northwest Ohio; but apparently the ones who prevented the freedmen from leaving the canal were not citizens from Mercer County, in spite of sensationalized stories. Leigh had Joseph Plunkett sell that land, and Leigh used that money to purchase other land for the Randolph Freedmen. On February 25, 1985, the Mercer County Historical Society hosted the program, “Mercer County and Ohio Black History,” at the Wright State University Lake Campus. At that program, a former Carthagena citizen, Doris Bowles was a guest, and I asked her why her family moved to Lima. She said they left to take jobs at Lima, not because of any racial conflict; she spoke of how well the neighbors got along at Carthagena. Other citizens who went to Carthagena School with African Americans at Carthagena told me that they worked together. Some African Americans raised cows and sold dairy products to area citizens. In 1914, an African American carpenter helped install the clock at St. Henry’s Catholic Church. August 2, 2012, I wrote about the history of Carthagena. In 2012, I edited the book, “Passport, Mercer County, Ohio History; Marion Township,” which includes references for people wishing to do research about this topic. I suggest that local historians study these resources, and seek facts, in order to preserve Mercer County’s History as it truly happened. This story is an integral part of Mercer County’s heritage.

They gingerly get out of the vehicle dropping them off. There are also young ones in wheel chairs.They come for their therapy session and expectation to be able to lead normal and better lives again. “I tell them, ‘My goal is when you leave here, as long as you do what I tell you to do, that you don’t ever come back for the same problem,’ stated Scott Uhlenhake, Physical Therapist and Director of Rehab at P.T. Services in Minster. “We want them to finish with an exercise program they can maintain so they never come back with the same problem a second time, elaborated Uhlenhake, “That meams I’ve done my job.” When a professional like Uhlenhake is on the case, results are everything. Knowledge and training of the physiology involved and the coordination of all parts of the human body to properly function is what keeps steady streams of people coming to facilities such as this. Whether because of injury, debilitating condition or function, physical therapy and the need for rehabilitation services has become big business and a necessary adjunct of the health services community. All physical therapists practicing in the state of Ohio are graduates of university-level physical therapy programs and must hold Ohio physical therapist licenses. Their assistants must be graduates with associate degrees in physical therapy and have valid Ohio physical therapist licenses. They must use each person’s medical history and physical examination to arrive at their medical diagnosis and establish a management plan. That management usually includes the prescription of specific exercises, manual therapy, education and manipulation. They can also work to prevent the loss of mobility before it occurs by developing fitness and wellness programs that promote healthier lifestyles. “One of the big things in physical therapy is to educate the patient. I consider the physical therapist as a teacher. ... We want to educate the community on how to take care of your body, what proper posture is, how to either eliminate pain or keep pain from reoccurring,” summed up Uhlenhake. Worthy goals, to be sure.

One of the problems driving heart disease is the messaging, says Robert Thompson, M.D., an integrative medicine specialist deemed by his peers to be in the top 5 percent of U.S. physicians. While there’s plenty of good research to indicate good advice, the general public, and many of his peers in the medical community, are stuck with faulty conclusions, he says. “Perhaps the biggest misconception is that an overabundance of calcium, which may include supplements, is very good for people, especially women, but that’s simply not true,” says Thompson, author of “The Calcium Lie II: What Your Doctor Still Doesn’t Know,” (calciumliebook.com), a new book that details the roles minerals play in overall health and how to identify and correct deficiencies and imbalances. Calcium is just one of 12 substances, as well as traces of 64 other minerals, that make up our bones. Excessive amounts of calcium hurt our bodies in many ways, especially the heart and the brain, he says. We cannot possibly replace minerals with just calcium, which hardens concrete and makes bones more brittle. One study, published in the British Medical Journal in 2008, was meant to assess the effect of calcium on bone density and fractures in postmenopausal women. Researchers found that participating women were significantly more likely to suffer heart attacks while taking calcium supplements. “This is far from an isolated study – there are others, including 15 studies combined into a meta-analysis yielding similar heart-health results, which show an increased risk of heart disease by at least 30 percent,” says Thompson, who offers practical recommendations for what individuals can start doing for better overall health in recognition of American Heart Month, celebrated in February. • Drink at least 64 ounces of water a day. As a general rule, we need to drink half of our bodyweight in ounces of water daily. For a 150-pound individual, that’s 75 ounces of water. Those who are overweight, or are heavy exercisers or live in warm climates may need more. Take care to drink quality water. Get a quality filtration system at home, which can range from $200 to $3,000. • Take ionic sea salt-derived minerals. We all need a diverse range of minerals and virtually none of us get enough. Ionic minerals are the only ones that are completely available for our bodies to use because they are water-soluble and they naturally carry an electrical charge that allows them to be carried through the cell membranes. All sea salt-derived trace mineral products are recommended – at least three grams per day. • Use only vitamin supplements made from 100 percent organic whole foods that have been vine-ripened. Almost all of us need supplements because contemporary food supplies lack adequate amounts of vitamins and minerals, thanks to soil depletion. Most store-bought vitamins include just one component of the many complex molecular elements contained in the naturally occurring vitamin source. You need all of the nutrient components to get the full benefits. • Get your fill of essential fatty acids; raw nuts and/ or seeds are a good source. In 2003, the Food and Drug Administration approved the following health claim for seven kinds of nuts: “Scientific evidence suggests but does not prove that eating 1.5 oz. per day of most raw nuts as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol may reduce the risk of heart disease.” Omega-3 and Omega-6 are considered essential because humans can’t manufacture them within our bodies. Research has now shown that plant-derived Omega 6, and not fish oil, is best oil for humans. • Eat high-quality proteins. Seafood, eggs, beans, chicken, game meat, duck and turkey are excellent sources of essential amino acids that are the building blocks of every protein molecule, hormone, neurotransmitter, cell membranes and immune molecules. Proteins can also be obtained from grains, sprouted grains, raw nuts and raw seeds. Vegetarians and vegans need to play close attention to combine protein sources to get the full complement of amino acids. • Walk at least 30 minutes every day. This activity has a huge effect on relieving the physiologic effects of stress on the human physiology. Exercise is good, but walking is amazing. No other single activity will more significantly or more rapidly affect the adrenal stress response in humans than walking, which probably works so well because it slows us down. And, it is an incredible way to build relationships. “Also, I recommend ingesting essential monosaccharides, which is new and unknown territory for most people,” he says. “They are the simplest form of carbohydrate molecules found in the body, are essential for protein molecules and can be found in maple syrup, sweet potatoes, parsnips, and onions.” *Robert Thompson, M.D., was added to the peer-reviewed directory, “Best Doctors in America,” in 1996. Dr. Robert Thompson is a board-certified obstetrician and gynecologist, and a nutrition specialist who helps patients get long-term relief from chronic disease, including obesity, diabetes, hypothyroidism and adrenal fatigue.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Whisk the eggs and coconut milk with 2 pinches of salt. Set aside. Prepare pan with coconut oil and medium-high heat and sauté onions until translucent, about 3 min. Add mushroom or favorite vegetable and sauté until soft. Toss in spinach and fold into veggie mixture just until wilted. Remove vegetables from pan; set aside. Turn down the heat to low, adding a little more coconut oil if needed. Using the same skillet, add the eggs, shaking to distribute the mixture evenly. Cook over medium-low heat for 5 min. using a spatula to spread the eggs from the edges to the center until the edges are no longer runny. Arrange the vegetable mixture over the top evenly. Transfer to a 375-dgree oven and cook for 5 minutes until set and slightly browned. Remove from oven. Be very aware of the hot handle! To finish, slide partially cooked frittata onto a large plate; wearing oven mitts, place a plate over the pan and, holding the two together, invert them so the frittata drops onto the plate. Slide the frittata back into the pan so partially cooked side is up. Place back in oven to cook 3-4 min. more. “The simple salad with maple orange vinaigrette is something I dreamed up for a ‘breakfast for dinner’ themed night – a nice complement to the main dish,” she says. • Lunch: tropical quinoa salad with cashews with carrot fries (serves 4). Qui- The link between chronic disease and inflammation based on a poor diet and sedentary lifestyle has been made clear by now, as outlined in an article from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The article explores how humankind uncovered the tools to overcome infectious disease with germ theory, posited in the 19th Century. More than a century later, as we’ve encountered the wrath of chronic disease – including heart disease, cancer, stroke, rheumatoid arthritis, and many others – research has identified a modern-day equivalent, this time caused by inflammation. “The best medicine to ease the massive suffering endured by so many in our population today is an active lifestyle and an anti-inflammatory diet; food should be nourishing and pleasurable,” says nutritionist and juicing pioneer Cherie Calbom, MS. (“The Juice Lady”). Her latest book, “The Juice Lady’s Anti-Inflammation Diet,” (www.juiceladycherie.com), outlines the causes of inflammation and offers solutions with healthy meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as robust juicing recipes. “Whether you’re on a vegetarian, vegan, low-carb, no-carb, Mediterranean, Neanderthal or any other kind of diet, there are delicious recipes available to anyone who wants to up their anti-inflammation efforts.” Calbom lists just three of her many recipes, with some ingredients that may already be found in your pantry, she says. • Breakfast: Spanish frittata and simple salad with maple orange vinaigrette (serves 4-6). Frittata: 12 large organic noa: 1 cup dried quinoa, rinsed well; ½ red onion, finely chopped; 1 cup apple or carrot, finely chopped; juice of 1 lime, 2 tbsp. honey or agave; 1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil; 1 large mango, chopped (not overly ripe); ¼ cup mint, finely chopped; 1 tsp. seal salt, to taste; freshly ground black pepper, to taste; ½-inch-piece ginger, finely chopped; 1 avocado, chopped or thinly sliced; 1 cup cashews, coarsely chopped; 3 cups Romaine lettuce (or greens of choice), roughly chopped. Cook the quinoa: Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan; add the quinoa and simmer, covered 15-20 min. Set aside and let cool (spread out for best results). In a large bowl toss the chopped red onion and apple/carrot. Whisk together the lime juice, honey and olive oil. Add to the bowl. Add the cooked, cooled quinoa and mango to the bowl and toss well. Mix in mint, cilantro, ginger and salt and pepper, to taste. Garnish with sliced avocado and cashews. Scoop mixture over greens and serve chilled or at room temperature. “Who doesn’t like French fries? – Carrot fries are a healthy alternative!” Calbom says. • Dinner: grilled salmon and asparagus with stone fruit and lavender chutney (serves 4-6). Chutney: 2 lb. stone fruit, small dice; 1 large onion, finely chopped; zest of 1 lemon or lime; 2 tbsp. garlic, minced; ¼ tsp. chili flakes (optional); 1/3 cup red wine vinegar; ¾ cup raw honey or agave; ¾ tsp. sea salt; 2 tbsp. fresh lavender (or use basil or mint; use 1 tsp. dried lavender if you cannot find it fresh). In a saucepan combine all prepared ingredients except the herbs. Bring to a boil. Continue cooking at a rolling boil, 15 min. Stir occasionally. Mix in fresh herbs and/or lavender at the end. “This chutney will get you excited for salmon all over again,” she says. “Of course, buy wild salmon, which is significantly healthier and environmentally friendly.” • Snack: Cherry Chocolate Shake (serves 1). 1 Tbsp. unsweetened, unprocessed cocoa powder; ½ cup frozen dark cherries, pitted; 1 cup coconut; almond or flax milk; ½ tsp. pure vanilla extract; several drops of liquid stevia (suggest Sweet Leaf Vanilla Creme); ice cubes as desired Place all ingredients in a blender and process until smooth.

American Heart Association’s 7 little-known signs of heart attack in women treme fatigue in the month or months prior to their heart attacks. This was not just your run-of-the-mill tiredness -- the kind you can power through -- this was an overwhelming fatigue that sidelined them from their usual schedules for a few days at a time. 2. Sleeplessness or Insomnia. Despite their fatigue, women who’ve had heart attacks remember experiencing unexplained inability to fall asleep or stay asleep during the month before their heart attacks. 3. Anxiety and Stress. Stress has long been known to up the risk of heart attack. But what women report is the emotional experience; before their heart attacks they felt anxious, stressed, and keyed up, noticeably more than usual. Moments before or during a heart attack, many women report a feeling they describe as “impending doom;” they’re aware that something’s drastically wrong and they can’t cope, but they’re not sure what’s going on. In a study funded by the National Institutes of Health and published in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association, 95 percent of women (that’s almost all!) who’d had heart attacks reported experiencing symptoms that were decidedly new or different from their previous experience a month or more before their attacks. Even when a heart attack is occurring, women are often slow to realize what’s happening and call a doctor. The reason? Women’s heart attack symptoms are different than men’s. This failure to recognize heart attack signs in women has led to a grim statistic: women are more likely to die from sudden cardiac death than men are, and two thirds of women who have a heart attack don’t recover completely. To prevent a heart attack from sneaking up on you, watch for these 7 littleknown signs of heart attack: 1. Fatigue. More than 70 percent of women in the NIH study reported ex- Now in Sidney 4. Indigestion or Nausea. Stomach pain, intestinal cramps, nausea, and digestive disruptions are another sign reported by women heart attack patients. Become familiar with your own digestive habits, and pay attention when anything seems out of whack. Note especially if your system seems upset and you haven’t eaten anything out of the ordinary. 5. Shortness of Breath. Of the women in the NIH study, more than 40 percent remembered experiencing this symptom. One of the comments the women made is that they noticed they couldn’t catch their breath while walking up the stairs or doing other daily tasks. 6. Flu-Like Symptoms. Clammy, sweaty skin, along with feeling lightheaded and weak, can lead women to wonder if they have the flu when, in fact, they’re having a heart attack. 7. Jaw, Ear, Neck, or Shoulder Pain. While pain and numbness in the chest, shoulder, and arm is a common sign of heart attack (at least, among men), women often don’t experience the pain this way. Instead, many women say they felt pain and a sensation of tightness running along their jaw and down the neck, and sometimes up to the ear, as well. The pain may extend down to the shoulder and arm -- particularly on the left side -or it may feel like a backache or pulled muscle in the neck and back. In addition to the symptoms they do have, women differ from men in another significant way -- they may not experience many of the symptoms we traditionally associate with heart attacks. This, experts say, is a major reason why women’s heart attacks go unrecognized and untreated. Almost half of all women in the NIH study felt no chest pain, even during the heart attack itself. Numbness is another symptom women may not experience, experts say. How to protect yourself or the women you care about? If your body is doing unusual things and you just don’t feel “right,” don’t wait. Go see your doctor and ask for a thorough work-up. And if you have any risk factors for cardiac disease, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, or family history of heart disease, mention these to the doctor. Time is of the essence, so don’t count on medical staff to know your background or read your chart -- tell them your risk factors right away, so your condition can be evaluated fully and completely. 123 Hamilton St., Celina 419-586-2426 (ciao) Services we offer… Rejuvenate your skin, enhance your beauty Revolutionary All Laser Cataract Surgery Valley Eye Institute is the first in the state of Ohio to acquire the revolutionary LenSx laser.

Hospitals’ teamwork provides lifesaving heart care On July 18, 2014, when Kelly Lee of Maplewood found himself in pain and sweating as he drove home from Wapakoneta after working third shift, he “knew something wasn’t right.” Lee called his wife Twilah and she told him to drive straight to the Emergency Department at Wilson Hospital. Keeping him on the line and asking him repeatedly about what he was feeling, Twilah was convinced that Kelly was having a heart attack. Lee knew he had high cholesterol, but he had never experienced anything like this. At age 48, he was not expecting to have a heart attack, but when he arrived at the emergency room, the staff quickly assessed his condition and called in Cardiologist Dr. Rehan Ahmed. “The teamwork was magnificent,” said Twilah. “They were very detailed in explaining what was happening and made sure we understood. Kelly and I started praying together. At the end of the prayer, I heard a loud ‘Amen’ from behind me. It was Dr. Ahmed and from then on, I knew everything was going to be alright.” The first plan of action was to send Lee to the specialists at Kettering Medical Center by ambulance. Due to the quick action of Dr. Ahmed andWilson’s Cardiovascular Cath Lab team,Lee be transported POWER. PERFORMANCE.

The flight to Kettering took 12 minutes. “From the time I hit the door at Kettering, they were all action,” said Lee. “My family hadn’t even gotten there yet and they were prepping me for surgery. I made them promise to wait for my wife and they did, but they certainly didn’t waste any time once she arrived.” Doctors at the Benjamin and Marian Schuster Heart Hospital at Kettering Medical Cen- ter inserted one stent on Lee’s right side to relieve the blockage. “The care he received was perfect,” said Twilah. “They were an amazing team - the staff at Wilson, the MedFlight personnel, and the Kettering staff. Kelly has no longterm heart damage because they all reacted so quickly. We can’t say enough good things about Dr. Ahmed and everyone at Wilson.” Lee was released the next day and returned to his job at General Aluminum the following week. In addition to his job, Lee is the pastor of home groups at Russell Road Church in Sidney. “I feel great now,” he said. “I deal with people all the time as a pastor and treating people in a caring and positive way is so important to making them feel secure.” “You could just feel that they cared about the patient as a person, not just as a number,” added Twilah. “We have lived in Shelby County all our lives and the care Wilson is providing now, the new partnerships with other hospitals and the quality of physicians is very impressive.” HEALTHY HE RT FOR A HEALTHY LIFE Now Offering...Free, Accessible Health Screenings February 16, 2015 • 6 a.m. - 9 a.m. Sidney High School Gymnasium 1215 Campbell Road.

Not only that but they were so very thankful that someone so young was so thoughtful. They kept saying how nice the blanket are,” said Schmiesi/ng.
