PANDORA — In the early 1980’s Gerald and Laura (Seitz) Coburn bought 50 acres of land known as “The Quarry Farm,” located northwest of Pandora.
They began restoring the stream’s ripar-ian corridor, the floodplain and woodland and maintained it as a retreat and nature preserve. Today, family members and friends continue to operate the Quarry Farm Nature Preserve & Conservtion Farm with the same mission in mind. Several distinct habitats
have flourished and are home to native mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and plants as well as native and migratory birds and insects.
“The land is devel-oping in a natural pro-gression from the cat-tle pasture maintained by my dad, Carl Seitz, to scrub growth that protected seedlings of larger trees to mature trees that are shading out the scrub,” said Laura. She said with some modern agricul-tural practices and the
disappearance of fence rows and woods, the ecological balance has been disrupted and native wildlife has hardly anywhere to go.
“We want to provide such a haven,” Laura said. “I believe, as did my late husband, that the survival of our species is more dependent on others than we like to think, so we have tried to do our little bit here to foster that relationship.”
Several small quarries along Riley Creek near Bluffton were operated in the late 19th and early 20th Century for flagstone and lime burning. The Sackett family ran such a busi-ness in the floodplain southeast of the mouth of Cranberry Run where it enters Riley Creek. Their quarrying operation hit multiple springs that forced the business to relocate upstream.
Everett Seitz and his family lived in a house on the upland north of the flooded quarry pit. After fire claimed his house in the early 1940s, Everett’s brother Carl, and his wife, Joyce, bought the 50 acres that encompassed the old quarry and the two homesteads. Carl pastured Jersey calves there. The waters of the old quarry and Cranberry Run became popular fishing spots. “Families came there to fish and picnic on the spit of land between the quarry and the stream,” remembers Joyce. “There was a willow that grew almost parallel to the quarry. Big fish gathered there. The water was deep, especially the northeast corner.”
In the 1950s, Cranberry Run was dredged and straightened in a government effort to abate flooding in Allen and Putnam Counties. This caused increased flooding and extensive erosion that filled in much of the old quarry with sediment.
The quarry suffered from the 1950s dredg-ing, as well as from another round in the early 1980s, but it is still a wetland that houses birds, reptiles, amphibians and rare plants. Because of the healthy tree growth on its banks, Cranberry Run flows clear most of the year to the point of offering a clear plume of water to Riley Creek north of the Quarry Farm.
In 1996, Gerald Coburn purchased a 19th-century cabin in West Virginia and, piece by piece, relocated it to the Quarry Farm. The
organic gardens of Red Fox Cabin are alive with butterflies and beneficial insects. The cabin serves as a visitors and conference center for public educational workshops and school tours.
Gerald and Laura’s daughter Anne Coburn-Griffis said the Quarry Farm has hosted numerous educational programs.
“Since 2000, The Quarry Farm has hosted Pioneer Days for school children from Cory-Rawson and Pandora-Gilboa. In 2006 and 2007 the Small Streams aquatic microhabitat program, a pilot project of The Quarry Farm in partnership with the Putnam County ESC and sponsored by local businesses, placed aquariums and aquatic macroinvertebrates in Putnam County classrooms,” Anne said “In 2010 and 2011 we co-hosted two teachers workshops. In between all of those events there have been garden tours, onsite and off-site presentations about organic gardening, beneficial insects, and art workshops. We will
continue to hold a Photo shoot and sketch walk each quarter and are available for the asking for classroom presentations and group workshops. This past Saturday a textile artist from Wapakoneta attended the winter photo shoot. She agreed to do a felting workshop for The Quarry Farm in the near future.”
Numerous wild animals, butterfly species and birds have been identified on the property.
“Wild turkey, great blue and green herons, bald eagle, several kinds of hawks, bees, hummingbirds, frogs, owls, woodpeckers, finches, warblers, 55 species of butterflies, 23 species of dragonflies, etc. That’s just what we see,” said Anne. “We would really like to have birders and herpetologists visit and catalog what they see or suspect is here. We have two crows and a Canada goose that were placed here and are being trained for programs.”
THIS WEEK IN YOUR COMMUNITY
COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT
February 22 - 28, 2012
I’m a creature of habit. When I get up in the morning, I usually have breakfast while watching the news.
Then I get ready for work. If there’s enough time I may
go on my computer and read the morning paper.
I often have a mental list of what to have for supper dur-ing the week.
Weekends may be a roast with baked potatoes. Week-days may be casseroles, or something quick that can be cooked in the microwave or heated on the stove. It rarely varies.
But then sometimes, when I can’t sleep I watch the cook-ing shows and get big ideas.
They make it look so easy. All you have to do is add a lit-tle spice here or rub on some olive oil there and you have a fantastic quick dish.
I like to watch the shows, but rarely try what they show. My skills as a cook are not quite comparable to the skills shown by the chefs on televi-sion.
The other night though, I thought I would try something that looked fairly simple.
Here’s a hint. Before you try something from the cooking television shows, remember that they have a fully-equipped kitchen.
The recipe looked simple. Brown a pork roast in olive oil. Split it in the middle and add spices such as salt, pep-per and garlic salt mixed with olive oil to the split. Then wrap the entire roast with bacon, using string to hold it in place.
Then my first problem arose. I don’t have “kitchen string.” I used regular string to hold the bacon in place.
The next problem came with the roasting pan. I usually use a roasting pan with a lid. The show called for a large flat roasting pan. I didn’t have one, so substituted with my jelly-roll pan. It seemed to work.
I have to admit it smelled good while cooking. Nothing is quite as good in the air as bacon cooking as far as I’m concerned.
I personally believe anyone having a bad day should be given a dose of smelling bacon as it cooks. It is sure to cheer you up.
Then came the final test, eating the bacon-wrapped pork roast.
Surprisingly it was good. I had used a meat thermometer to make sure it was cooked to the right temperature. For those of you who know me, yes I know how to use a meat thermometer and no, I didn’t try to find the mouth or the rear to stick it in.
So I guess the truth is out. you can teach an old dog new tricks.

Toby Deal, Ottawa, refers to May 9, 2011, as his ‘dead Monday.” It was on this day that Deal’s heart stopped.
He has no recollection of that day, or several days afterwards. Now, nearly ten months later, Deal can look back on this day and be grateful for several people, who acted quickly to save his life. He can also be grateful for new technology that allowed his heart time to heal.
Deal was working at Daryl Bridenbaugh’s, north of Pandora, when he suddenly collapsed. It was early in the morning. Daryl was nearby when he collapsed.
“His eyes were gray,” Daryl said. “I knew he was in serious trouble so I ran to the house to call 911.” Daryl also rang his doorbell several times, to get his wife Peg’s attention.
Peg, still in her nightgown, ran out to help Toby by giving him CPR.
“I was really glad I had the training in CPR,” Peg admitted. While she was administering CPR, Daryl was asked to stay on the line to direct the EMS to their home.
Peg said she did only the “hands-on” chest compressions.
“It’s really tiring,” she admitted.Jennifer Higley a bus driver at Pandora-Gilboa,
was taking a different route that morning after doing her morning route. She was headed down Road 6 to go to Wal-Mart instead of taking Road 5, her normal way to go home.
“It was a spurt of the moment decision to go to Wal-Mart that day,” Jennifer said. “I’m glad I did.”
Seeing Peg outside in her night clothes giv-ing CPR to someone on the ground, Jennifer knew there was a serious problem. Higley made a u-turn in the road and drove back to the Bridenbaugh farm. Running up to Peg and Toby she skinned her knees as she dropped down to help.
Jennifer also had CPR training and took over to give Peg a break. A few minutes later the Pan-dora Police Chief, Scott Stant, turned up to offer assistance until the EMS arrived.
“When the EMS arrived I just rolled out of the way so they could do their job,” Jennifer said.
“He was very fortunate these people were there to help him,” said Toby’s wife Pat. “I thank God that they were able to keep him alive.”
Pat met the EMS at the Ambulatory Care Cen-ter in Ottawa where she saw Toby.
“When I saw him I thought he was gone,” Pat admitted. She chose to stay in the room with him until he was taken by medical helicopter to St. Rita’s Medical Center in Lima.
Upon his arrival at St. Rita’s he was treated by Dr. Julius A. Kato, a heart specialist.
“He was very nice and told me the options we had,” said Pat. At the time they did not know if Toby had collapsed because of a heart attack or stroke. A decision was made to do a cat scan first. Once it was determined it had not been a stroke, Toby was given a special treatment that lowers the body temperature, allowing the heart time to heal.
“I don’t remember any of this,” Toby said. He was kept in a coma during this treatment known as therapeutic hypothermia that involved lower-ing the body temperature, then slowly warming the body.
“They were still concerned about his brain function,” said Peg who had driven Pat to the hospital. “They kept asking how long it was after he collapsed before we started CPR.” Peg said they estimated it was only about a minute. “If it had been much longer they were concerned his brain function would have been affected.”
When Toby came out of the coma he was told what had happened. He learned he had heart blockage and would need time to recover before he could have undergo surgery to place a heart defibrillator in him. He was
given a LifeVest® Wearable Defibrillator. This vest is worn by patients who are at risk for sudden cardiac arrest. The devise continuously monitors the patient’s heart and, if a life-threat-ening heart rhythm is detected, the device delivers a treatment shock to restore normal heart rhythm.
After three weeks in the hospital, Toby was allowed to go home.
“I remember when it worked,” Pat said. “The machine gave a warning that a shock was about to begin and to stand clear.”
“It was kind of scary,” Toby admitted. “I was achy afterwards, but glad to be alive.”
Since then he has regained enough strength to have a defibrillator surgically implanted. He is also undergoing testing so the doctors can decide how to treat a thyroid problem that is causing his heart problems.
On Thursday, Feb. 23, Toby and Pat will cel-ebrate their eleventh anniversary.
It is an anniversary Toby and Pat may not have seen, except for the assistance of friends and modern technology.

Anne said she and her husband Steve have been and continue to study wildlife rehabili-tation with Nature’s Nursery in Whitehouse, which is where the crows and the goose came from.
“But we found that there is more of a need for sanctuary for farm animals and “nui-sance” species like opossums, so that’s what we rehab here,” Steve and Anne do sub per-mit with Nature Nursery to foster neonatal squirrels, birds, etc., but they didn’t pursue a wildlife rehabilitation permit for The Quarry Farm. Black Swamp Raptor in Pandora is close for injured and orphaned owls and hawks. As far as rescued and surrendered domestic animals, there are 25 chickens of various breeds, two Nigerian Dwarf goats, three more geese, two ducks, a pot-bellied pig, and a miniature donkey.
“They came from all over the state and some have some pretty tragic stories. But good people cared enough to call us and ask if we could help,” said Anne.
Laura said she spotted a little salaman-der near her house. “This was cause for excitement, as the salamander population has dwindled alarmingly in recent years,” she said.
Each day requires a lot of work to keep the Quarry Farm operating.
The Conservation Farm routine includes lots of water-hauling in the morning, and evening during dry spells, specific food prep for each species, and frequent cleaning, according to Anne.
“We are always looking for types of enrich-ment so that they don’t get bored. Some of the animals come here after there lives have been turned upside down and we have to fig-ure out what their schedules are,” Anne said “Gertie, the pot-bellied pig, has only been with us for a few weeks,” The Allen County Humane Society contacted Steve and Anne for placement after her person died and left no history of her needs.
“This poor girl was morbidly obese, scared and probably the most stubborn animal we’ve ever encountered,” Anne admitted. “But she is so smart. She’s lost ten pounds and is completely housebroken. Even wags her tail when she’s curious and happy,”
The Nature Preserve requires trail building and maintenance, management of invasive species, signage, and trash pickup.
“I’ve heard from some scout leaders who are interested in helping with the preserve,” Anne said. “The gardens at Red Fox Cabin require ongoing organic pest controls and constant maintenance of invasive plants. Mom is constantly experimenting with dif-ferent beneficial plantings, new seeds and plants, organic fertilizers, etc.”
Several organizations have come to the Quarry Farm to do research and catalogue species.
A representative from OEPA toured the vernal pools of the floodplain in 2000. In 2010 another OEPA representative cata-logued mosses and liverworts, and a bota-
nist from ODNR identified and catalogued spring plants.
“We have records of their findings, which include some rare plants and records for Putnam County,” Anne said. The gardens of Red Fox Cabin are certified butterfly habitat by the North American Butterfly Associa-tion. “We also hold education permits for the two crows and the Canada goose.”
Laura said for the future her focus will be maintaining Red Fox Cabin, not only for its historical value, but also as a gathering place for meetings, refreshments, and rest “at the end of the trail.”
“In the near future I hope to build a shelter house to accommodate larger groups,” Laura said “Using organic methods, I also will con-tinue to develop the garden as a habitat for butterflies, native bees, and other beneficial insects, and of course, for food crops.”
Anne said this summer they will continue to remove Japanese honeysuckle which, along with garlic mustard, is crowing out many native plants on The Quarry Farm. Marsh and S’More, the two Nigerian Dwarf goats on the conservation farm, are putting a big dent in the Russian Olive and multiflora rose. Buddy the miniature donkey does, too.
“In 2007, the decision was made to apply for nonprofit status from the State of Ohio,” Steve said “We’re currently seeking non-profit status from the federal government. Nonprofit status makes it easier for The Quarry Farm to receive certain designations and permits from the state and federal gov-ernments that allow us to enhance various programs. While we have and will continue to assume the financial burden for the care of the animals, nonprofit status makes fund-raising for major projects more beneficial for both the donors and The Quarry Farm.”
The Quarry Farm is open by appoint-ment only at this time and will be until the trails and overlook platforms are completed. Individuals and groups may arrange a tour, schedule a group or classroom presentation, or receive the quarterly newsletter by call-ing 419-384-7195 or emailing the request to [email protected].

Charles E. “Chuck” Nash
Charles E. “Chuck” Nash, 63, died at 1:16 p.m. Feb. 15, 2012, from injuries he suffered in a fire at his residence.
He was born Sept. 16, 1948, in Bluffton to Charles and Jessie Burkholder Nash. His father preceded him in death, and his mother survives in Leipsic.
Mr. Nash was self-employed as a painter. He had been a member of Pleasant Grove Church. He was a graduate of Pandora-Gilboa High School and attended The Ohio State University, Columbus.

He marched to the beat of a dif-ferent drummer, but he was that drummer. He was charis-matic, and it was natural that he became a performer as a drummer and vocalist.
Survivors also include a son, Charles Chance Jacob Nash, of Columbus Grove; a brother, Clark (Lisa) Nash, of Leipsic; two sisters, Cheryl (Steve Slygh) Nash, of Perrysburg, and Crystal Nash, of Los Angeles; six nieces and nephews, Mindi (Steve) Trout, Matthew (Jennifer Donnelly) Nash, John Nash, Jackie Nash, Alexi Nash and Alison Nash; a great-niece, Kayla Trout; and a great-nephew, Gage Trout.

PREP SPORTS ROUNDUP
SPORTS/COMMUNITY
OTTAWA — A 20-0 season doesn’t come around too often.
But Ottoville’s girls bas-ketball team reached that seldom-explored territory for the second time in the last three seasons when it beat Minster 43-36 on Sat-urday.
The No. 1-ranked Big Green didn’t take the easy route, either, knocking off Minster (13-6) for the final win in a perfect regular sea-son.
“Couple of heavyweights,” Ottoville coach Dave Kleman said as he walked back onto the court from the locker room at halftime with his team up 23-17.
Junior post player Abby Siefker scored 20 points, pulled down 16 rebounds and blocked two shots to lead Ottoville.
Bridget Geiger (12 points) and Tara Clune (11 points) led Minster.
Ottoville took the lead three and a half minutes into the second quarter and never was behind again. A 10-0 run turned an early Minster 12-7 lead into a 17-12 edge for Ottoville.
Not surprisingly, both teams’ defenses made life difficult for the offenses.
Ottoville shot 36 percent on field goals (12 of 33) and Minster hit 29 percent (15 of 52), including shooting 2 of 14 in the second quar-ter and 3 of 15 in the final quarter.
Minster held Ottoville’s starters other than Siefker to a total of nine points, but subs, particularly sophomore Tonya Kaufman (7 points, 5 rebounds), delivered when they got their chance.
Ottoville left the door open slightly for Minster in the final minutes of the game when, with a 37-31 lead, it missed the front end of a one-and-one, then both shots of consecutive two-shot foul opportunities.
But Minster couldn’t take advantage of that and the lead eventually hit 11 points, 42-31, with a minute to play.
Ottoville’s seniors and Siefker have been part of both the 20-0 seasons.
While it is tough to com-pare them, senior Lauren Kramer said this one might be her favorite. And not just because it is the most recent.
“I think being a senior means more because it’s your last year. It meant a lot two years ago. But in the end I think it all comes
down to what you do your senior year,” she said.
Kleman’s answer to the question of how many times Siefker sees one-on-one defense instead of con-stantly dealing with two or three defenders was “not very many.”
“If she did, she’d average a lot more points. But she’s very unselfish, she will get two or three assists a game. She has good vision. But she had a little more room to operate today.
“Nann (Minster coach Nann Stechschulte) had some size to guard her with. There are teams who can do it but she doesn’t see it very often, maybe a handful of times a year.”
Siefker, who averages 14.6 points and 10.8 rebounds a game, said, “It’s a lot nicer being able to do your own
thing and you know the other people are going to have to stay out on our 3-point shooters because they know they can shoot it too.”
After wrapping up a per-
fect regular season, Ottovi-lle heads into the Bluffton Division IV sectional, where it will play Saturday against the winner of a Tuesday night game between Conti-nental and Perry.
