According to Village
Solicitor Jim Hearns
there are clauses protecting the village.
“There seems to be

Harrod informed the

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–––––––––––––––

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. Considering

“This really seems to be the wave of the future,” noted Harrod.
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.

brought home individual
meaning for each team
member and coach. 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.

“The Jaycees had an age limit
and when some of the guys
reached that limit they weren’t
ready to stop,” said Ranly.
“Along with having to give
back to the national Jaycee organization, the guys decided it
would be best to start their own

The group sponsors two
main yearly events, the Easter

“We have hosted events and

Regardless if it’s football
skills or hunting eggs, the goal
of the Journeyman’s Club remains the same; supporting lo-
cal groups.
Although membership has
fallen a bit, the group remains
focused on their goal.
“Over the years we have donated money to the Boy Scouts,
Girl Scouts, youth baseball and
many other groups,” said Ranly.
“We are down around 20-30

“Create in me a clean heart, O God: and renew a right spirit within me.”
Psalm 51:10
The words of this verse move me when I remember who wrote them and the
circumstances surrounding their being written. 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...

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.
On March 11, 1998,
Timothy Westcott contacted me for research
about Augustus Wattles
for his work with the

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.

Cemetery at Carthagena,

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.

Gaining better understanding of physical therapy
By BOB BLINDAUER
Staff Writer
MINSTER — They come in with
broken arms, legs and other physical
issues. 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.

6 healthy habits to implement in February, American heart month
Despite decades of medical research and public campaigns to ease the problem, heart disease is the No. 1
killer in the United States and throughout the Western
world.
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. His newest book, “The Calcium Lie II,” is
available for free at calciumliebook.com. Dr. Thompson received his medical training at the University of
Kentucky and has been a leader in medical advances for
more than 30 years.

3 anti-inflammation recipes to help restore health
eggs; ½ cup coconut milk; ½ tsp. sea salt,
or more to taste; 2 tbsp. coconut oil or
extra-virgin olive oil; 1 small red onion,
small chop; ½ cup sautéed mushrooms
or your favorite vegetable; 1 cup spinach
or arugula.
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.

Go Red for Women and Music of the Heart for Valentine’s Day
Photo provided
Lady Friends of the Symphony “Go Red for Women” to remind Valentine’s Day concert-goers and others also to wear red to raise awareness about heart health.
Celebrate Valentine’s Day with history’s most compelling love stories as the Lima
Symphony Orchestra presents Music of the Heart on Saturday, Feb. 14 at 7:30 p.m.
at the Veterans Memorial Civic Center, Lima.
A concert of tender and passionate tales will begin with Tchaikovsky’s Romeo
and Juliet, a soaring tale of star-crossed lovers.Piano soloist Scott Cuellar, winner of
the 2009 Friends of the Symphony Young Artist Competition, returns to Lima with
Rachmaninoff ’s Piano Concert No. 2, before we present Wagner’s fatalistic legend of
knights and chivalry, Tristan und Isolde. The evening of romance will conclude with
the captivating story of a young prince, an enchanted swan maiden and a moon-lit
lake of Tchaikovsky’s haunting Swan Lake.
Post-concert Dessert Reception – To end the evening on a sweet note, the Friends
of the Symphony will host a home-made dessert reception immediately following
the concert in Windows on the Square on the balcony level of the Veterans Memorial
Civic Center. Reservations are requested in advance.
Go Red for Women – The Lima Symphony Orchestra’s February concert has long
been underwritten by Lima Memorial Health System and St. Rita’s Medical Center.
We appreciate their legacy of generous support and applaud them in their efforts to
treat and cure the number one cause of death in American women. We invite all our
audience members to wear red to our concert to help us thank our underwriters and
to raise awareness about heart health.
Scott Cuellar, piano soloist – In reviewing pianist Scott Cuellar’s debut recital at
Carnegie Hall’s Weill Recital Hall, David LaMarche of the New York Concert Review described Mr. Cuellar’s performance as “virtuosic in scope and expression, like
a great man of the theater,” and praised his “ability to illuminate both the external
structure and the emotional core of the work he plays.”
Concert tickets are $25/$30 adults, $10/$15 students. Dessert tickets are $10.

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

by MedFlight, a decision
that probably saved his
life.
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.”

Fort Loramie came out
strong last Saturday against
Marion Local, but could hold
on falling 54-41.
The Skins were actually tied

period for a 13 point victory.
Fort Loramie was led by
Senior Devin Braun who had
21points, Grant Olberding had

The Skins led at the half, but
Marion used a 15-8 third period to take the lead. They were
also outscored in the final eight
minutes 15-12.
The difference in the game
was the free throw line as Marion hit 18 of 25, while Ft. Loramie was just 6 of 11.
Saturday the Lady Skins
downed Houston 54-25. Loramie used a 12-2 opening the
game and never looked back.

News from the school house
ML student offers warming gift to residents
Staff Report
Marion Local high
school student Rachel
Riechart brought some
warmth to residents of
Briarwood Village.
Riechart crafted 12
blankets which she
donated to the facility. The blankets were
used as bingo prizes
and were individually
wrapped with ribbon.
“Briarwood Village
thanks Rachel for her
generosity,” said Briarwood staff member
Leslie Schmiesing.”
Riechart,
whose
grandmother is a Briarwood resident also
helped with bingo,
chatting with residents
and passing out the
prizes.
“The residents could
not wipe the smile off
their faces, they loved
getting to interact with
her. 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.
Riechart’s gracious
acts also touched the
staff.
“It was very refreshing for both staff and
residents to see a young
person doing this. Our
Director of AL/IL was
actually brought to
tears and we had many
comments about what
a great example she is
setting for the young in
our community,”

Ft. Loramie kindergarten registration
Screening will be on March 26 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Please
call the elementary office as soon as possible at (937) 2952931 and speak with a secretary to schedule a screening time
for your child. You may also stop by the office and deliver
your paperwork and schedule a screening time. Every child
needs to have an appointment to be screened. Registration

A child must be five-years-old by Aug. 1, 2016 to attend
kindergarten this fall. When coming to screening, children
should wear comfortable clothing and tennis shoes as they
will be asked to do various activities dealing with gross motor and fine motor skills. They will also be participating in
memory recall activities. On the day of your child’s appointment, you will need to report to the High School gym.
Upon arrival, your child will begin their part of the screening
process. You will be able to observe from a distance as this
part of the process is taking place. You will also need to talk
with various school related personnel about health issues,
transportation and busing, and kindergarten expectations.
After your child has finished his/her part of the screening,
our kindergarten teachers, Jenny Knouff, Jana Hoying and
Joni Siegrist, will review the results of the screening with you
and answer any questions you may have.
The Ohio Department of Health requires the following
