THIS WEEK IN YOUR COMMUNITY
COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT
April 11 - 17, 2012
April 19-25 is National TV Turn-off Week. The description said it is a time to ditch your remote controls and reconnect with your kids.
It doesn’t sound like a bad idea. As the weather turns warmer I think we all spend a little less time in front of the screen and a little more time outside doing things.
I have a goal this year to spend more time doing things and less time watching televi-sion and surfing on the Internet.
I’ve been working on it gradually. It’s been easy for a long time to turn the television on for the evening news and then just not shut it off until I go to bed.
It didn’t matter if there was a show on that I particularly wanted to see. It was just nice to be able to sit down and do nothing.
Now, once the news is over, I make an effort to turn the tele-vision off and not turn it back on unless there is a show that seems of particular interest or entertainment.
I also try to leave my laptop closed. My emails and Face-book messages will be there later when I get to them.
Suddenly I have found I have this unusual amount of free time.
I have been able to organize a storage box filled with craft items. I have read a few books I didn’t have time for before.
I’m even starting to learn a few chords on a ukulele.
It was time I didn’t think I had before. Now I realize I had it, but filled it with my habits of TV and computers.
I had a friend who told me she also discovered by turning the television off she now has more time to do things she has been wanting to do for years.
Don’t get me wrong. I like television. I think there are some shows that are fun or educa-tional to watch. I also think that sometimes after working all day, sitting in front of a television and “doing nothing” is important.
I also enjoy computer surfing and have been able to research many things through the years.
I just think both have become too much of a “hobby-pastime” that I’ve allowed to take over my evenings.
I wonder if anyone else out there has a hobby they wish they had time to start. Maybe the hobby is woodworking or gardening. Maybe you have been like me and avoided starting it because you felt you didn’t have time.
I have realized when my grandchildren are here for a visit we rarely watch television.
We are too busy doing things. Sometimes it may be trying a new craft. Another time it may be making all kinds of flavored popcorn. Often times it’s just exploring the outside and try-ing to find the biggest bug.
If the weather is bad and we need to relax I allow them to pick out their favorite books. Sometimes I read to them and sometimes they read to me. It’s fun both ways.
The off button on the remote seems to be working better lately.

KALIDA — Just a little more than a month ago, Sandy Church started sewing bunnies. Not just one or two for grandchildren, but more than 100 for staff at The Meadows of Kalida.
Sandy was staying at The Meadows while recovering from health problems when a staff member asked her to make a teddy bear for a grandchild using shirt material from the grand-daughter’s grandfather who had passed away. Since Easter was approaching, Sandy decided to make a bunny with the flannel material.
Another employee saw the bunny and requested two for her children.
“I had my sewing machine with me since I enjoy sewing so much,” Sandy said.
This is not the first time she has stayed at The Meadows recovering from medical problems.
“I love the staff here,” she said. “They always treat me so wonder-ful.”
Sandy had some of her own mate-rial that she said is reproduction of patterns from the 1930s. Eventu-ally Sandy decided to offer making bunnies for other staff members them.
“I had some of my own material, and Kevin Kidd, the director here, and my daughter Rhonda brought in more material for me to use,” she said
Staff members would stop by and choose material they wanted for the bunnies from the selection Sandy had lain out on her bed.
“We had put up a sign-up sheet on the time clock telling the staff to stop by and pick out their mate-rial for the bunnies,” Sandy said. She kept a careful notebook list-
ing the material for each bunny. She started sewing the bunnies on March 3. By the time she was done, Sandy had made 102 bunnies for staff members, each with a label
on it.“I guess it’s just my way of
saying thank you to the staff for being so good to me,” Sandy said. She did not charge for the
bunnies.Sandy said cutting across the
grain she was able to make one bunny from each yard of mate-rial. “I could make about 23 bun-nies in a week,” she said. The only assistance she received was another employee who some-times helped do the hand-stitch-ing after the stuffing was put in the bunnies.
“I was about 13 when I started sewing,” Sandy said. “I was using a treadle sewing machine at that time.” She took home economics in school in the sev-enth grade.
“By the time I graduated, my mother said I could sew bet-ter than her,” Sandy said “And my mother was a really good seamstress. I think I learned a lot about sewing just watching her.”
Sandy said she took the Bishop Method of Sewing Classes after she was married to learn how to tailor her own clothes.
“I made all the clothes for myself, my two kids and some for my hus-band,” Sandy said.
Sandy also learned about quilt-ing while working in a quilt shop in Michigan. “I enjoy doing the pieces for quilt tops,” she said. “But I let someone else do the quilting.
Sandy said while she was making the bunnies she had a lot of people in and out of her room.
“I sleep in my recliner, so I kept the bunnies on my bed,” she said. “My bed was covered in bunnies all the time.” Sandy said even strangers walking by would peak in to see the bunnies and ask questions.
The bunnies were given to the staff members last week.
Sandy also has been able to once again go home.
“I love it at The Meadows,” she said. “But it’s always nice to go home.”
Sandy Church holds one of the many bunnies she made for employees at The Meadows of Kalida. Sandy said the aqua bunny is her favorite one.

Denise Kruse wrote the following about her daughter:
Our family was blessed with our precious baby girl, Addyson Jean Kruse-Arrizola, on August 15, 2011. Addyson was our little girl that was going to grow up to be mommy’s little dancer. Addy loved music and we danced with our little girl every night until she earned her angel wings on Decem-ber 10, 2011.
As soon as they declared her death from SIDS, I began to research how I could help change the lives for
other families so they would not have to feel the emptiness we all feel. I, Addy’s mom, started the team Addy’s Divas in honor to celebrate my daughter’s short time here on Earth. The Spring-for SIDS has been my therapy and brings comfort knowing we are making a difference.
Addy’s Divas began with the help from friends, family, commu-nity, and co-workers. We sold over 120 shirts which all profit goes to American SIDS Institute.
We are blessed with such a lov-ing support system and want to take this opportunity to thank everyone!

A bounty of harvest for food pantryBy NANCY KLINE
[email protected] 419-231-2444
Saturday was a good day for a special “harvest” in Putnam County.
Members of three Knights of Columbus organizations in Putnam County held a Lenton Grain Har-vest competition to collect boxes of cereal for the Putnam County Thrift Store food pantry in Ottawa. Tak-ing part were the Ottoville Knights of Columbus, Kalida Knights of Columbus and Ottawa Knights of Columbus.
“We challenged all the Knights of Columbus organizations in the county to see who could collect the most boxes of cereal,” said Tim Macke, who helped coordi-nate the event. He said three of the four Knights of Columbus agreed to take part in this year’s event.
The boxes were brought to the Ottawa K of C Hall Saturday morn-ing and counted. The members collected a total of 398 boxes with the Ottawa K of C members col-lecting the most, 226 boxes. The Kalida Knights of Columbus came in second.
As the boxes were brought in, they were placed on miniature wagons and pedaled to the truck by a miniature tractor driven by Owen Tobe.
The mission to bring in food for the food pantry was not through for the morning, however.
After collecting the boxes of cereal at the K of C, the truck had to make another stop at Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic School
SPPS students had decided upon a weekly food drive for the county-wide food pantry at the Putnam County Community Thrift Store’s Food Pantry. Each week a different food item from the store’s staple food item list was chosen.
Over a six-week period they col-lected:
Week 1 - 146 boxes of cerealWeek 2 - 360 boxes of jelloWeek 3 - 163 boxes of various
pastaWeek 4 - 360 containers of baby
food and 21 boxes of baby cerealWeek 5 - more than 600 packages
of Ramen noodlesWeek 6 - 300 boxes of pudding
Students were given an incen-tive that they would be given a much appreciated jeans & T-shirt day on the last day of
school before Easter break. The food items were then loaded and delivered to the store on Holy Saturday.

LETTER
Do Ottoville residents even know where Road 5 is?
To the editorAs an Ottawa resident who
suffered some damage from flooding in 2007, a thought has come to mind. I have heard Commissioner Schro-eder say the Commissioner’s Office can only fund projects that affect the whole county.Does the Road 5 project meet these criteria? Do residents on the western side of Put-nam County even know, or care, if this road is widened, to save a truck driver a few miles?
On the other hand I am sure major flooding has a large impact on most res-idents, industry and busi-nesses in Putnam County. For instance, residents find it hard to get to work or any other place they need to be, industries are stressed when they do not have enough workers to operate efficiently, and business is curtailed in general.
Another thing I have heard Commissioner Schroeder mention is the ditch projects the commissioners work on. We all can appreciate the necessity of good drain-age so farmers can grow the crops we all need, but The Army Corp of Engineers talks of holding the rain drop where it falls as a form of flood control, are these two programs not in competi-tion with each other. Can we somehow reach a happy medium?

From Michelle and Mike Ellerbrock
Our experience with kindergarten at Sts. Peter and Paul School has been wonderful. To know that our religious beliefs are reinforced all day, every day at school is invaluable. We believe our children’s faith in God will be a source of strength for them throughout their lives. We are thank-ful for the opportunity that our children have to attend Sts. Peter and Paul School where they grow academically and spiritually.

Recogninzing child abuse
April is Child Abuse Pre-vention Month. The purpose aims to educate individuals and communities about how they can help prevent the abuse and neglect of children.
The different types of abuse are:
Physical abuse - the misuse or maltreatment of another person in a physical manner such as punching, kicking, or biting a child.
Sexual abuse - the rape, molestation, prostitution or incest of a child or using a child for the purpose of mak-ing sexually explicit pictures or videos.
Emotional abuse - the ver-bal or psychological abuse of a child including threatening, name calling, ignoring, sham-ing unfairly, shouting, cursing, etc. “Mind games” are another form of emotional abuse.
Keeping children safe is a community responsibility, and prevention must be a com-munity task. Every segment of society must be involved, including health and law enforcement profession-als, schools, businesses, the media, government agencies, community and faith organiza-tions, and especially parents themselves. Teachers and physicians need to recognize the symptoms of child abuse; parents need to ask for help in overcoming addictions or con-trolling violent behavior; com-munities must be willing to fund programs and services to protect children from abuse; and the media needs to raise public awareness of the avail-ability of those programs and services.
Things we can do to keep children safe:
• Are children able to care for themselves? It depends on their maturity. Children should know their address and how to call 911. There should be a trusted neighbor at home.
• Sleep when your child sleeps, stay awake while supervising your child
• Lock doors so children can’t get out
• When children live in homes with domestic vio-lence, the chance of them being injured increases dra-matically, if the kids aren’t harmed, the impact on them is devastating. These chil-dren are more likely to abuse drugs/alcohol, have depres-sions, wind up in abusive relationships themselves.

Kristine Frick DeBoltKristine Frick DeBolt, 68,
died April 3, 2012, at her resi-dence, surrounded by her loving family.
She was born Jan. 11, 1944, in Bellefontaine to Arthur and Ann Harding Frick, who preceded her in death. On Dec. 4, 1999, she married Reuben DeBolt, who sur-vives in Pandora.
Mrs. DeBolt was a graduate of Lima Senior High School and of Lima School of Practical Nursing. She worked briefly in nursing before becoming a full-time mother and homemaker. She had also been a model at Gregg’s Department Store and at Lazarus, both in Lima. She brought her creativity and eye for detail to her own antiques business, Gander Run, and home and wedding decorat-ing. She was a member of St. John Mennonite Church, Pandora, and of the communi-ty, serving both in many differ-ent capacities. She had served on the Pandora-Gilboa school board, was a member of Asi No Mas, Hardin County Herb Society, and Swiss Community Historical Society.
She loved the simple beau-ties of God’s creation and enjoyed quiet places like Holmes County, Sanibel Island and the English countryside, where she lived for a year. She cultivated her flowers and garden with much love and care and created a welcoming atmosphere for birds at her home. These were an exten-sion of her endearing grace that flowed from her firm faith and caused her to be an encourager and inspiration to many. She has now gone home to be with the Lord.
Survivors also include a son, Ty Comer, of Pandora; a brother Mark (Dee) Frick, of Elida; a sister, Karen (Wayne) Smith, of Hilliard; and two stepdaughters, Sarah DeBolt, of Bogota, Colombia, and Rebekah DeBolt, of Knoxville, Tenn.
She was preceded in death by a sister, Jan Frick.
Memorial services were held Saturday at St. John Mennonite Church, Pandora. Memorial contributions may be made to St. John Mennonite Church Missions, Putnam County Hospice or Ovarian Cancer Research Fund.

All ages are welcome to participate in either run/walk event. Participants can pick up a race entry form at the Ottoville Post Office or can visit www.findlaystriders.com for an entry form. Registers are also welcome to sign up the day of the event, but will not be guaranteed a T-shirt.

The Ottoville Community has recently kicked off a campaign to raise money to replace the twenty-five year old “Mother Lode Mine” that is currently at the park. According to preliminary estimates, a large piece of equipment for the children to play on would cost approxi-mately $87,000.
This campaign is being kicked off in 2012 in cele-bration of the 50th annual Ottoville Park Carnival that will be held on Labor Day weekend.
The Ottoville community is seeking donations from area organizations, busi-nesses and in individuals to team up to accomplish this fundraising goal. If you would like to make a dona-tion to the Ottoville Play-ground Equipment Fund, you can send a check pay-able to “Ottoville Playground Equipment Fund” P.O. Box 100, Ottoville, 45876.
