THIS WEEK IN YOUR COMMUNITY

COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT

January 18 - 24, 2012

Sometimes my brain starts to buzz and I get “the idea” for the month.

Only this time it wasn’t my idea. I started at the annual holiday open house at the Put-nam County Museum in Kalida. The president had brought in a vintage car set that ran on electricity.

This was the gathering spot that weekend for young and old alike as they watched the little cars race around the track.

Then a suggestions came from a well known history-lover, Roselia Verhoff. Why not get a collection of vintage toys and have something set up sometime for the children to play with.

So the ‘idea’ has grown. The members of the board of trust-ees are talking about having a day like this. I started thinking about the toys I played with as a child. I named them to my grandchildren and puzzled looks came on their faces.

Tinker toys, Lincoln logs,paper dolls. They were all fun to pass the time while growing up. Whether it be a snowy cold blowing day or a hot humid day, these type of toys kept us busy.

Now I am on a quest. Through Ebay, garage sales and friends I am trying to track down vintage toys to have for this special day.

I know what you are think-ing. Dump a bunch of Lincoln logs in front of a young child and they will ask where the button is to start it.

We have thought of that. I’m sure there are “vintage” people out there willing to take the time to show this generation of young children how a tinker toy fits into a hole on the side of a round spool with several holes. Or how Tiddly Winks doesn’t take a battery, just fin-ger power.

I am asking my readers for help though.

I want to know what toys you played with while growing up.

Just email your response to [email protected]

It will help me on my jour-ney to let children go back in time to play games before there were video games, ipods and Wii.

OTTAWA — Rose and Roger Riepenhoff had stayed as guests at different bed and breakfasts through the years.

“It was something I wanted to do myself someday,” said Rose. Her dream came true in December 1997, when the couple purchased a country brick home on Old SR 224, east of Ottawa.

“I had lost my job and realized I would have the time to do this,” Rose said. She said the house was ready to go except for the furnishings. There were two guest rooms with full bathrooms in each.

Rose had been shopping antique shops for nine months prior to the purchase of the house to find the appropriate fur-nishings for each room. “These are large suites so I was able to put in a queen size bed, with a sitting chair, desk and chair and television in each suite.”

RoseHaven Bed and Breakfast had their first guest in January 1998.

Fourteen years later Rose and Roger still own and operate the bed and breakfast.

“I have most enjoyed the people I have had the opportunity to meet and talk with,” said Rose. She said she has had guests from every state and 7 countries.

“We have many of the guests who invite us to come stay with them if we are in their area,” Rose said.

She said it is often at the breakfast she serves where people like to visit.

“Sometimes people are here for a wed-ding, graduation or funeral and have some time on their hands. They enjoy just sitting and visiting.”

Rose’s cooking skills may be another reason people enjoy lingering over breakfast.

She said she has always enjoyed cook-ing and baking and already had a reputa-tion as a baker before she opened the bed and breakfast.

“I already had started a bakery and had a home bakery license before we opened the bed and breakfast,” Rose said. “When I worked it was always a stress reliever to come home and cook or bake,” she said.

Guests at RoseHaven Bed and Break-fast are asked if they prefer a small or big breakfast.

“Most want a big breakfast,” Rose said. “They see it as an opportunity to sit down and enjoy a good meal.”

Rose doesn’t disappoint the guests. Her breakfasts often include pumpkin, oatmeal, or cinnamon oatmeal home-made pancakes topped with Rose’s special recipe syrup including pecans and cinnamon. A meat, such as sausage, bacon or ham is served beside the pan-cakes along with a fresh fruit salad.

“Sometimes I use apples from my

own trees and bake something using the apples to include with breakfast,” Rose said. She also has a side of some type of potatoes included with the breakfast.

The country home had one deck when Roger and Rose bought it. They have since added a larger deck with an addi-tional sitting area behind the house that looks over a sloping backyard and rural fields.

“People almost always choose to eat outside on the deck in the summer,” Rose said. “They enjoy the relaxing rural setting. We have a small pond at the deck they can enjoy also.” The fields behind their house include horses that guests enjoy watching.

Rose said she has worked hard to make the bed and breakfast a special

place for people to stay.“I never know when someone will

stop in expectedly so I always like to keep the house looking special,” she said. This includes special decorating touches inside, sometimes reflecting the upcoming holiday. The outside features multicolored flowers during the warm months and bright lights during the holi-day season.

“People expect a bed and breakfast to be extra special,” Rose said. “I work to make this place extra special for the guests.”

Rose said there biggest promotion is word of mouth. “People will hear about us and recommend our place to others,” she said. She also has a website that shows pictures, rates and area attrac-tions at www.rosehaven.us.

Letter to the Editor:When my husband and I moved to Ottawa 35

years ago, we were embraced by the people here. Ottawa has been a wonderful place to live and raise our family, and I have been privileged to represent Ottawa residents on village council for 18 of the last 22 years.

Regarding the appointment of a council member to fill the vacancy on Ottawa village council, I did some research. According to the Putnam County Board of Elections, there are 3044 registered vot-ers in the Village of Ottawa, and 1663 voted in the November election. The results of the council election were as follows: Dean Meyer 1026, Jo Deskins 732, Gene Hovest 724, John Salsburey 629, Kevin Goecke 616, and Mark Schmiedebusch 611. At the first of the year, council member Dean Meyer was elected president of council and, according to Ottawa’s charter, became Ottawa’s mayor to fill the vacated office of mayor. Now Ottawa’s council is confronted with the task of filling the vacancy Mr. Meyer left on council. Also, according to Ottawa’s charter, council has until the end of January to appoint the new council member. If council is unable to do so, the mayor must make an appointment.

I have been told that the majority of Ottawa’s residents want John Salsburey appointed to coun-cil because he ran for election. However, Mr. Sals-burey did not receive a majority of votes. In fact, the only candidate who did receive a majority of votes was Dean Meyer.

I have been told that the 629 people who voted for Mr. Salsburey feel that their votes went “into the garbage can.” Did the votes of the 616 people who voted for Kevin Goecke go into the garbage can? Did the votes of the 611 people who voted for Mark Schmiedebusch go into the garbage can? As would be the case in any election, those three people were not elected. In my opinion, all six of the people who ran for election are fine, upstanding people, who presented good options to our voters. But only three could be elected in the November election. Votes were cast, and votes were counted. The only votes that were not counted were those of the 45% of the registered electors who did not vote in November.

I have been told that “change is good.” Ottawa council has already experienced change with the addition of Jo Deskins. Another council member will be appointed, again changing the face of council. Ottawa council decided to hear presenta-tions from those who want to be considered to fill this position at the special meeting January 1. The applicants were asked to address their educational credentials, employment history, cur-rent employment status, community and public service, specific skill sets, personal accomplish-ments, why they did or did not run for council last November, and why they have applied to be on council. Ottawa’s council members take their responsibilities very seriously. It is our duty to give thoughtful consideration to all applicants and to appoint the person who will best serve the interests of the people.

Sincerely,Deb Bauer
