If you are not able to bring
your child to a theme park to meet
a princess, Princess Emporium
in Fort Recovery will arrange for
Cinderella, Snow White or Belle
to come to your home. Although
the idea of princess parties is
not original, what makes these
different is that Andria Wood
actually transforms into the
character. Playing the parts began
as volunteer work for community
fundraisers in high school. While
a student at Cincinnati Christian
University she worked at a
daycare and as a nanny. Thats
when she discovered the love of
giving children a lasting memory
of the best day of their whole
life. She recalls her first party,
where the girls gasped, and in
concealed whispers debated
among themselves if it was the
real Belle from Beauty and the
Beast. They concluded that yes,
it was! And things just got better
from there. Andria has always
been very dramatic and theatrical,
so this is a natural fit for her. To
facilitate making the princesses
real, the look must be authentic.
The costumes were each hand
made by her mother Judy, to match
the Disney character. During the
sewing process they frequently
checked pictures to make sure the
outfits were as close as possible
to those in the classic movies and
book illustrations. Parties range
from one to two hours consisting
of games, music, stories, gifts and
a tea party with a real tea set. There
is also the option of costumes (for
both boys and girls), face painting
and crowns/superhero mask
decorating. Occasions can vary
from birthday to the last day of
school or any other reason for a
celebration. Over the last months,
Andria has stopped at several
libraries in the area to introduce
children to these storybook
characters. On a recent visit, one
adult commented that Cinderella
looked like she had come straight
from The Magic Kingdom.

I recently had the pleasure
of visiting Cele Kahle at her
Coldwater home. The purpose
was to observe her Christmas
tree and learn a few tips on
decorating. Many know Cele as
the Merchandising Volunteer at
the Hospitality Shop at the Mercer
Health Hospital. She supplies
the Hospitality Shop with floral
arrangements for every season,
along with funeral arrangements
and wreaths. She helps with
the buying of merchandise and
displaying of those items.
She runs Celes Florals and
Dcor, a flourishing cottage
industry, from her home by appointment.
Her clientele include businesses and
individuals for whom she provides personal
decorating services. She helps accessorize
with pictures, lamps, silk florals, trees,
vases, etc. Basically, she adds the finishing
touches.
Christmas time finds her decorating
Christmas trees using items her clients
already own along with incorporating and
coordinating her pieces with theirs. This
allows customers to keep their treasured
ornaments and the important handmade
keepsakes of their children. When
decorating a tree she always starts at
the top with an angel, star, bow, or
whatever embellishment one chooses.
She then puts on the special ornaments
so that they are in the most visible part
of the tree. Then she fills in with other
ornaments, a lot of them may be of the
same shape and color, and places them
evenly around the tree. She likes to
mix many different ornaments on a tree.
Than, she will add the ribbon, berries,
decorative stems, etc. Cele says, Dont
be afraid to be creative. She often cuts
apart garlands and glitter sprays, flowers
or ivy to add finishing touches to the
tree. Lastly, she lays the tree skirt. She
says visually interesting tree skirts are
few and far between, so she encourages
customers to purchase 3 yards of a silk like
fabric that matches with their tree dcor and
drape it under the tree.
Most new trees today are pre-lit but
when working with many strands of lights it

The Art of Racing in the Rain
by: Garth Stein
Reviewed by: Georgia Rindler

The Art of Racing in the Rain
is the story of Denny Swift; told
from Enzos point of view. Enzo
lives with Denny and likes to
watch TV. Hes learned a lot
from TV. The Law & Order
series taught him about legal
practices and court proceedings.
Details regarding police meth-
odology and terminology were
gleaned from The Rockford Files
and Columbo. But racing shows
are his favorite; partly because
Denny is a racecar driver. Enzos
learned a lot about the world in
general from auto racing. He
knows that there is no dishonor
in losing; the only dishonor lies
in not racing because you are
afraid to lose. Imagining he is
in the passenger seat with Denny
driving reminds him of the time
he was actually allowed to ride
along in their BMW at Thun-
derhill Raceway Park. The other
guys thought hed be scared, but
Enzo just wanted to go faster
and faster. He understood speed
and how it could get into your
blood. He understood Denny.
Through good times and bad,
they were a team; he and Denny.
After Zoe and Eve came along,
Enzo protected them when Den-
ny couldnt be there. And he
sensed things that no one else
knew. Maybe it was because he
truly listened to what was said.
After Eve was gone and The
Twins tried to take Zoe away,
Enzo stayed true. He knew Den-
ny didnt do the horrible things
of which he was accused. They
both remembered the rule of rac-
ing: no race has ever been won
in the first corner; many have
been lost there. In order to win
the custody battle, Denny had to
fight and not easily give in.
This novel makes many ref-
erences to auto racing, its wis-
dom and how those same adages
can be applied to life in general.
The book starts in the present,
then goes back to tell the story
of Enzo and Dennys meeting,
and their life since. I knew af-
ter the first chapter that I would
have tears in my eyes before
the ending. When there, I found
they were brought on not only
by sadness, but compassion too.
Dennys background was dif-
ferent from Eves. Her parents
couldnt accept that he was good
enough for their daughter and
grandchild. Racing is a world
sport, covering many continents
and ways of life. Sometimes we
dont get to make the decisions.
If a mistake or misjudgment has
been made, the driver must ac-
cept it. Theres no turning back
at 185 miles per hour. The Art
of Racing in the Rain is a novel
within a story. The author in-
tertwines family and personal
relationships with hot laps and
Formula One tracks to make
this a book that appeals to many.
Our copy is in large print and
can be found under STE. And
by the way.Enzo came from
mixed lineage. His mother was
a lab and his father a terrier. yes,
Enzo is a dog.
An online Facebook store features
tutus resembling those of the Disney
princesses. And boys have not been
forgotten as masks and wrist cuffs
including Hulk, Captain America,
Batman and several other super hero
characters are available. Andria
states her favorite part is when the
children want to hold her hand and
wrap their little arms around her big
poofy skirts. For someone with an
associates degree in biblical studies,
this may seem like an unlikely path.
yet when you think about it, what
better way to share the goodness
of life than to light up the face of a
child? Princess Emporium can be

Your 401(k) offers tax-deductible contributions, tax-deferred growth of
earnings potential and a variety of investment options so its a great tool
for building retirement savings. Yet like all tools, your 401(k) must be used
properly to get the best results. Thats why you should review your 401(k) at
least annually and make whatever adjustments are needed.
Depending on where you work, you may get some 401(k) review help
from your plan provider. But if that assistance isnt available, you might want to
consult with a financial professional to make sure youre getting the maximum
benefit from your plan.
As you begin to review your 401(k), your first question should probably
be this:
How much should I contribute? At the very least, try to put in enough to
receive your employers matching contribution, if one is offered. If you dont
earn this match, you are essentially walking away from free money. Beyond
this, though, the amount you put into your 401(k) might depend on what other
retirement savings vehicles you have available. For instance, if youre eligible,
you may also want to contribute to a Roth IRA, which offers tax-free growth
potential, provided youve had your account for five years and dont start
taking withdrawals until youre 59.
Of course, its not only how much you put into your 401(k) that determines
its success its also how you choose to allocate your investment dollars.
(Keep in mind that asset allocation does not guarantee a profit or protect
against loss.) Your 401(k) may have a dozen or more investment choices,
such as stock funds, bond funds and money market funds. To choose the right
investment mix, youll need to consider a variety of factors, including these:
Your age Generally speaking, the younger you are, the more
aggressive you can afford to be with your 401(k) investments, because
youll have decades in which to potentially overcome the inevitable down
periods of the market. As you get older, you may wish to invest somewhat
more conservatively, but youll still need some growth potential in your 401(k)
portfolio.
Your goals Everyone has different goals for retirement. You might
want to retire early and travel the world, while your co-worker desires to
work as long as possible and then, upon retirement, stay close to home and
pursue hobbies. Because you each have different goals, with different income
needs, you also may need to follow different investment strategies within your
401(k).
Your other retirement income sources If you have a variety of
retirement income sources a pension from another job, an IRA, a spouse
with generous retirement benefits you may need to invest differently,
perhaps less aggressively, than if you had fewer options for retirement
income.
Apart from putting away as much as you can into your 401(k) and
choosing the right investment mix, what else can you do to get the most out
of your plan? Heres a suggestion: If you have worked at various jobs and
acquired multiple 401(k)s, consider rolling them over into one account. You
might save money on fees and reduce paperwork, but more importantly,
youll be able to concentrate your resources and pursue a unified investment
approach, with your investment dollars working together toward your ultimate
retirement goals.
As you can see, a 401(k) review and rollover can reward you in many
ways so do whatever it takes to maximize your 401(k)s performance.

As you know, the holiday season can be joyous, hectic, celebratory and expensive. And while you
certainly enjoy hosting family gatherings and giving presents to your loved ones, youll find these things
even more pleasurable if they dont add a lot more weight to your debt load. And thats why youll want to
follow some smart money-management techniques over the next few weeks.
To begin with, try to establish realistic budgets for both your entertaining and your gift giving. When
you host family and friends, dont go overboard on your expenditures. Your guests will still appreciate your
efforts, which, with a little creativity, can create a welcoming and fun experience for everyone. As a guiding
principal, keep in mind these words attributed to Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, the famous German poet
and philosopher: What you can do without, do without. Set a budget and stick to it.
And the same rule applies to your gifting. You dont need to find the most expensive presents, or
overwhelm recipients with the sheer volume of your gifts. This is especially true if you, like so many
people, have been affected by the tough economy. Everyone you know will understand that gifts dont
have to be lavish to be meaningful.
Furthermore, by sticking to a budget, you wont be tempted to dip into your long-term investments
to pay for fabulous parties or mountains of gifts. Its never a good idea to tap long-term investments for
short-term needs, but can be especially bad when your investment prices are down, as they may well
be this year.
So, if you want to stick to a budget but you dont want to raid your investments, how can you pay
for your holiday season expenses? If you can spread out your purchases, you may be able to pay for
them from your normal cash flow. But if thats not possible, you might want to consider plastic your
credit card. Using your credit card does not, by itself, need to amount to a financial setback, especially if
youve chosen a card that offers favorable terms and youve already shown the discipline not to over-use
that card. Just try to minimize your credit card usage over the holidays and pay off your card as soon as
you can.
Of course, you can make your holiday season much easier, financially speaking, if youve set up a
holiday fund to cover your various expenses. While its too late to set up such a fund this year, why not get
an early start on the 2012 holiday season? All you need to do is put away some money each month into
an easily accessible account, separate from your everyday accounts. You dont have to put in a great deal,
but you do need to be consistent, which is why you may want to have the money moved automatically,
once a month, from your checking or savings account to your holiday fund. When next years holiday
season rolls around, you might be pleasantly surprised by how much youve accumulated.
Listen to us daily at noon on WCSM 96.7 FM
According to the advanced
weather reports the weather
doesnt sound too bad for early
December. Temps in the mid
30s to 40s is pretty good for
this time of year. Lets just
hope that is fore runner of the
oncoming winter. But you
never know in Ohio this time
of year. An easy winter would
be appreciated by everyone, I
think.
I assume everybody has
their Christmas shopping all
finished and wrapped. Well,
maybe not everybody. I have
my shopping done now and
just have to wrap them. Sure
makes it easy when you only
have to buy for one. I get lots
of help from my daughters
when it comes to buying for
that grandson of mine. Sure
does help me as I am not to
sharp when it comes to kids
toys. God knows there are
plenty to select from especially
electronics.
Remember to get those
packages for the service men
and women ready plenty
early to avoid late deliveries
overseas. The postal system
is especially busy this time of
the year. Having been in the
Army I can remember how it
felt to not get packages from
home. They can be a great
moral booster to the person so
far from home. And they sure
are better eating than what the
Army had to offer.

Celina Couple Receives Albert Heckler
Award from Cheryl Ann Programs
Louis and Dorothy Hoyng never imagined that theyd be-
come involved with Cheryl Ann Programs.
They were raising three happy, healthy boys in their Celina
home. Louie operated his custom upholstery shop next door,
and Dorothy worked in the high school cafeteria. They were a
typical family.
Then a very atypical thing happened. Their middle son,
Brian, was struck by lightning in 1981 when he was 16. With
that bolt out of the blue, the Hoyngs lives changed forever.
The odds of being struck by lightning are one in 280,000,
but the Hoyngs couldnt afford to spend much time thinking
about their terrible luck. They had a son who needed them
more than he ever had. The first years after Brians accident,
which left him with severe disabilities, were very difficult,
they said, as they searched for someone who could help them
help Brian.
Their school district helped as much as it could.Finally, then-
Superintendent Ralph Stelzer recommended a place the Hoyngs
knew about but had never visited as parents: Cheryl Ann.
Cheryl Ann was the best thing that ever happened to us,
Louie Hoyng said. It gave Brian his life back.
The people of Cheryl Ann helped Brian with his everyday
life. They gave him a place to go and jobs to do. He made new
friends, and enjoyed everything about his experiences there,
up to and including the bus ride out to Mud Pike.
When he would see Sam Morden (his bus aide) he would
just smile, and the people in Adult Day Services really knew
how to make him laugh, Dorothy Hoyng said.
It wasnt long before the Hoyngs were finding ways to re-
pay Cheryl Ann for its help. They were regular volunteers.
Louie Hoyng completed upholstery jobs for the unique
equipment used at Cheryl Ann, and often, said Superintendent
Mike Overman, Louie would forget to send us a bill. He
also served a term on the county MRDD board and was the
board president.
For all that, and for their tireless advocacy on behalf of
their son, the Hoyngs received the Albert Heckler Award at
the staff appreciation banquet in March. The award is given
each year to a Cheryl Ann family that exemplifies service and
advocacy.
The Hoyngs both served as good examples of first-rate
advocates for their son, Overman said. They rarely ever
missed a day spending time with him, and they always spoke
up to be sure his needs were being met. They were really spe-
cial parents for Brian, and really good supporters of our pro-
gram.
Brian Hoyng died in February 2008 at the age of 43. In the
years after the lightning strike he taught his family a lot about
patience, hope, endurance and acceptance. He introduced the
Hoyngs to a world they had only seen from the outsidebut it
was a world where they found welcome and acceptance.
We met some wonderful people during our years at Cheryl
Ann, Dorothy Hoyng said. They worked their hearts out
helping us with Brian.

Stateline Writers Meet
At the April meeting of the Stateline Writers Club, members read
profiles they had written about someone, living or dead or make-
believe, and member Eileen Whitsetts special activity of having mem-
bers combine pictures of particular scenes with a person or people
assigned to them to put into that scene brought interesting results.
Sue Miller and Gretchen Bollenbachers proposal for a special
meeting designed to attract new members was described and approved.
Members will be hosted by the Coldwater Public Library in June for
a reading of their best work.
At the next meeting, which will be on Saturday, May 16, mem-
bers will rehearse for their special program in June.
Stateline club members meet the 3rd Saturday of each month at
10 a.m. at the Celina Mercer County Library. Anyone interested in
coming to a meeting or becoming a member is cordially invited to
attend.
Celina Rotary Dog Park Dedicated
BY: BETTY LOU DENNEY/HALL
Opening day at the Celina Rotary Dog Park received
rave revues from the dogs. As the gates opened for the first
time on Tuesday May 12, dogs of all sizes were seen mak-
ing their way to the park to get a chance to run in over 3
acres of wide open spaces of the chain-linked fenced in
area. Small dogs area is an acre and the large dogs have
over 2 acres. The new park, which is one of newest and
biggest things happening in the State Parks around the coun-
try, was made possible due to the efforts of Deborha Borns,
Rotary Club President. Her friend, Darlene Lynskey, is also
working on getting a State Dog Park in her home town of
St. Marys. The two dog lovers along with many volunteers
worked many hours with the help of the State and Craig
Morton, who is the regional manager of Grand Lake St.
Marys. Together they cleared away debris from the previ-
ously unused land. The Park is located at the end of West
Bank Road
Deb Borns saw her idea come to life with the help of the
Celina Rotary Clubs major donation and businesses as well
as individuals who helped with labor and monetary dona-
tions. The idea came to her after visiting another dog park.
At the dedication ceremony Deb thanked many of the
people who made the park possible. Jeff Larmore, Past
Rotary President and Celina City Council Member spoke
as his 150 pound Newfoundland, Bentley checked out the
park. Jeff is also a large contributor to the park in honor of
the recovery of Bentley after he had been lost for several
days. Craig Morton, Regional Manager of State Park Gand
Lake St. Marys and John Hunter, Assistant Chief of the
Division of Parks and Recreation also spoke at the dedica-
tion ceremony. Deb concluded her speech with some wise
lessons that she has learned from her own dogs. A few of
which were: Never leave home without your leach and
your ID. If you stare at someone long enough, you will get
what you want. Last, if it is not wet and sloppy it is not a
real kiss.
One of the many visitors enjoying running free on dedi-
cation day was a lab /poodle mix owned by Dave Hochstien,
professor at Wright State University. He has other dogs at
home but decided to only bring one at a time. He com-
mented that this was the first time his dog had this much
exercise since he got him a year ago.
There are a few small problems to work out with the
park, such as the water faucet would not shut off and there
was a small hole under the fence in the small dog side of
the park, which of course was found by one of the little
furry visitors on dedication day. These problems will be
easily fixed. Memberships ($10) to Fur Ever Friends are
being sold to help with the upkeep of the park. The use of
the park is free to the public. One of the additions they
would like to have is benches added to the park for the
comfort of the owners.
The green stations placed around the fence for the dog
wastes were given at a discount by Florida based company
named DogiPot. Gary Brown, Assistant Operations Man-
ger, heard about the plans for the park and wanted to help
by giving discounts on the pots. The company has all Oxi-
biodegradable bags inside the pots for your dog waste. Gary
flew in from Florida to be a part of the ribbon cutting and
opening of the park. More of their products can be found
by going to: www.propet.org.
If visiting the park remember to follow the rules that are
posted at the entrance. Common sense is your guide such
as:
Dogs should have their current shots
The park has little dog and big dog sections, keep
dogs in their own spaces.
Dont leave dog unattended
Do not bring a dog that shows aggressive behavior
Keep small children under close supervision
Clean up after your own dog
Never bring a dog to the park that has an illness.
These are just a few precautions to remember. Check
the rules before entering the park and you and your dog
will have a great time The Park is open daylight to dark
everyday.

What would Theodore Homan,
Roger Homans Great Grandfather,
have said in 1888, if he saw his
family celebrating Christmas in the
haymow of his big old barn!
When Theodore Homan
purchased this farm in 1888, he must
have loved the big old farm barn
built in 1873. Over a Century later,
in 1990, I was talking with Dennis
Homan about his family barn, for
my book, Those Magnificent Big
Barns in Mercer County. Dennis
said his father John R. Homan had
acquired the farm, including this
barn, from his father Theodore
Homan.
This month, I talked with Roger
Homan, son of Dennis Homan.
Roger told me that his brother Kevin
followed Dennis Homan as owner,
and used the barn for 300 head of
cattle on the farm. In 2009 Roger
purchased the barn from Kevin.
Roger proceeded to knock down
the silos to install a driveway for
his equipment business. Rogers
next project was to fix the barn for a
warehouse. He had Amish carpenters
come to put siding on the barn, but
that plan changed. The Carpenters
told him that his barn was not level.
Plus, the threshing floor and the
stable were at different levels and
the last 16 feet which was added
later, was another level. Therefore,
the Carpenters also knocked out all
of the concrete and added a new
concrete floor across the lower level
of the barn to make the entire bottom
floor one level.
Roger happened to read Calvin
Trillins article, For the Love of a
Barn, www.ArchitecturalDigest.
com, and was inspired to restore
his own barn. next, the Amish
Carpenters asked about the haymow,
where the floor boards were loose.
The decision was made to take out the
boards, and use the hand hewn beams
as a base. They added a subfloor,
whereby they took two-by-fours and
placed them on a vertical edge, and
added a beautiful hardwood floor on
top. (Honestly, now the floor looks
like a dining room floor in a new
home.) At the center of the haymow,
the beams were structured at another
level. Roger asked the Carpenters
to remove the beams and he had a
staircase and an elevator installed.
They crafted the railing at the top of
the stairs by using the old haymow
boards.
The second floor was so nice that
Roger no longer wanted to use it as
a warehouse. He decided to ask his
family to have Christmas dinner in
the barn. His mom Louise Homan
offered to bring her Wheat pattern
dinnerware which she had always
used for Christmas dinners at home.
As a hobby, Roger has collected over
700 pieces of this Wheat Harvest
pattern dinnerware! The only two
pieces of this dinnerware which he
is missing are the deviled eggs plate
and the coffee server! Roger found
some light fixtures with a wheat
pattern, and that set the beginning
of naming this barn, The Harvest
Barn.
When Roger and Debs daughter
graduated from college, they went to
an auction and purchased furniture
for her apartment. When her
fianc and she bought a house, the
apartment furniture found its way
to the Harvest Barn. After several
auctions, more antique dining room
sets are gracing this former haymow
turned dining room. They looked to
complete a kitchen, with stainless
steel kitchen equipment from the
old Schoolhouse in Berne, Indiana.
Friends supplied cabinets from a
closed coffee shop in Montpelier,
Indiana. Roger smiled as he told
about attending Father Jim Tricks
auction where he purchased the
old hand crafted confessional
from the former Holy Redeemer
Church of new Bremen. (That is a
conversational piece and no longer
used for its original purpose!)
After Roger and Debs friends
and relatives came to dinner at the
Harvest Barn, pretty soon they
began using this barn for reunions,
birthdays, anniversaries, rehearsal
and engagement celebrations, as
well as Holidays like Halloween
and Christmas. The nicest party
was for his Dad, Dennis Homans
60th High School Class Reunion.
Dennis did not have to pitch hay
bales in the haymow in the big old
barn that evening; he and his former
classmates were served dinner,
like the old wedding style dinners
in past times. And the barn has
come full circle, from being a farm
harvest barn for over a Century, to
becoming a family Harvest Barn in
this century. Roger and Deb, thank
you for preserving this barn for our
local history.

If you like dont like Lemon
Pie try Orange Pie. This is a very
refreshing desert. A good use for the
FFA fruit.

ORAnGE CREAM PIE
1 C. sugar
3 Tablespoon cornstarch
2 eggs
Juice of 2 oranges with the grated
rind.
Enough water added to the juice
to make 2 cups of liquid.

Mix the dry ingredients add
half the juice. Add the eggs to the
rest of the jucie and water mixture
Blend well and cook while stirring
constantly for about 1 minute after
it comes to a boil. Cool for at least
10 minutes before placing in baked
crust. Add meringue to top.
Meringue:
Beat 2 egg whites and add 1

eighth teaspoon cream of tartar.
Brown in oven.

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK:
Did you know that lady bugs come
in many different colors around the
world. They actually are blue in
some parts of the country.
Those little beetles that may be
in your house at this time of year are
very beneficial to your house plants.
They probably came in with any
plants that you had outside during
the summer. They will die off during
the winter months. Dont spray or
kill them.

UnTIL nEXT WEEK
REMEMBER: Be happy, love one
another and remember that there is
a miracle out there that can change
your life.

In my favorite Broadway
musical, Fiddler on the Roof,
Tevye, a beleaguered milkman and
father of five daughters, sings the
classic Sunrise, Sunset Swiftly
Fly the years. I can relate more
and more to this song and find it
remarkable that a generation has
flown by since Joel Broering, a
very special young man and a
student golfer, passed to cancer.
I have also seen during that
time another young man, Rob
Hemmelgarn, grow as a writer
and a gifted observer of people.
Rob wrote the following about his
friend Joel:
The following account isnt
about state championships, All-
Ohio accolades, or lucrative
college careers. It is about a
sometimes larger-than-life kid
whose example personified life it
isnt always about the destination,
but more about the journey
As I lazily stomped from the
saturated turf at Lima Shawnee
High School on that dreary and
blustery november Friday night in
1993, the scoreboard that just went
dark was another painful reminder
that I had played in my last high
school football game. For a senior
in high school, that feeling was
an internal Armageddon. While
my final muddy steps across the
all-weather track grew heavier,
I noticed my classmate, Joel
Broering, standing awkwardly in
the aisle yelling in our direction
as we exited the field. Through
the years, Joels voice was always
booming, and this particular time
it was difficult to ignore. While
I was overly-busy pitying myself
after the loss, Joel stood there alone
on a pair of crutches, unbeknownst
to any of us that he was only a few
weeks away from his own funeral.
Growing up, Joels head housed
one of the keenest sports-minds I
had ever known in all of my ten
or eleven years of childhood and
he wasnt afraid to let you know.
Without the convenience of up-to-
minute tweets and text messages,
Joel had a knack for reciting the
latest scores, injury reports, and
roster moves of seemingly every
team from Major League Baseball
to the USFL, and his bedroom was
decked in memorabilia that made
even the most humble kids ooze
with envy.
Anytime there was a pickup
game to be played whether it
was baseball behind Greg Balsters
house on Walnut Street, basketball
on the driveway in front of my
parents garage, or wall-to-wall
football in Doug Specks living
room, there was little doubt that
Joel would make an appearance.
While most of the time he was
welcome, it all depended on
whether he was in the mood to
argue when things didnt go in
his favor. The funny thing about
Joel was how he would rather run
through a lions cage in a meat
suit than lose a game, which was
interesting because as smart as
he was when it came to sports,
he wasnt all that talented of an
athlete. His participation worked
out pretty well for me because at
5-5 and 112.75 pounds, he was one
of the few kids other than the girls
at that age that I had a chance at
beating.
Once high school seemingly
slammed into us from out of the
blue, Joels attention faded from
football and baseball, and leaned
more toward golf and girls. This
concept is another fascinating
tidbit because while he absolutely
excelled at golf, his game toward
the girls was in the same relative
ballpark as the ones we played
in Greg Balsters backyard, my
driveway, or Doug Specks living
room. One afternoon in 1991,
I popped into the downstairs
restroom at St. Henry High School
and Joel was slouched on the floor
in tears. Abiding by the certain
code forbidding boys our age
asking other boys the same age
what was wrong, I headed back to
class. A few days later the news
broke - Joel had been diagnosed
with Acute Lymphocytic
Leukemia.
Suddenly, rather than sports,
cars, girls, and school dances,
Joels spare time was filled
with coming to grips with
chemotherapy, hair loss, countless
medicines, and weight fluctuation
experiences no teenager should
ever have to burden. Following a
nearly-immediate remission, the
reigning MVP on St. Henrys golf
team relapsed about a year later.
Joel submitted to a bone marrow
transplant in early 1993, and for a
few months the cancer went back
into remission. For a moment,
Joel evolved back into the kid we
all knew an energetic ball of,
well Joel.
His progress didnt last long
enough. That summer, Joel was
granted a wish by the Make-a-Wish
Foundation, and he elected to hang
out with his favorite professional
golfer - Payne Stewart. For the
1993 Skins Game in Palm Desert,
there sat Joel on national television
resembling a miniature Stewart
as he was decked out in knickers
and a tam-style headpiece. After
winning the third Skins game in
three tries, Stewart presented the
trophy to Joel. He returned home
and in early December a group
of us visited Joel, who was bed-
ridden to his living room. To lay
there and joke with his friends,
only to witness us leave and return
to our normal teenage lives, had
to be excruciating for him and his
family, but not once did Joel seem
to feel sorry for himself. As we
left, I had an unsettling feeling
that it was going to be the last
time we spoke with our buddy.
Unfortunately I was right.
Eighteen years ago this week,
we all paid our final respects to
our classmate. Joel would be 36
years old in a couple of months.
Its difficult to predict whether
he would be married, have kids,
or still live in the area, but I think
we are all pretty certain that he
would be making a living either as
a sports writer, broadcaster, coach,
or maybe even a defense attorney.
There werent many people who
didnt know Joel. Whether you
engaged in nonstop debates
with him or just rolled your eyes
when he demanded he was right,
the undeniable truth is that on
December 11, 1993, St. Henry and
the Class of 1994 in particular, lost
a good kid at much too young of
an age. A generation later, as real
life has morphed us from careless
high schoolers to warriors fighting
a daily barrage of mortgages,
deadlines, disciplining kids, and
every other curveball imaginable,
it is hard not to drift back to the
words my cancer-ridden friend
hollered from the bleachers that
night in Lima as we limped from
the field Get your heads up
guys, life is too short to get this
upset!

Ohio Farm bureau

Attendees can learn skills to
manage their property
The growing popularity of
gardening, food preservation
and other back to basics
topics will be the focus of a
new day-long seminar spon-
sored by the Ohio Farm Bu-
reau Federation.
The first ever Grow and
Know Days will be held
July 18, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
at the Bob Evans Farm in Rio
Grande. The event is billed as
a how-to seminar for property
owners, animal lovers, gar-
deners and food enthusiasts.
Its going to be a great day
of hands-on learning, said
Cara Lawson, promotion spe-
cialist for Ohio Farm Bureau
and one of the coordinators
for the event. This program-
ming is in direct response to
members wanting this sort of
information.
Attendees will be able to
select four different breakout
sessions with topics including
gardening, backyard egg pro-
duction, horse ownership,
food preparation and preser-
vation, fruit and nut tree man-
agement, property protection,
herb production, fence and
barn maintenance, beekeep-
ing and more.

dition to farmers, members

wine enthusiasts, animal own-
ers, and anyone who enjoys
rural Ohio.
Fresh Country Air
mATT REESE
My job as an agricultural
journalist is fun because it al-
lows me to travel this fascinat-
ing state on a regular basis, of-
ten on Ohios 26 beautiful des-
ignated scenic byways (five of
which have a national designa-
tion). The five national Scenic
Byways in the state highlight
some of the states finest fea-
tures, including Ohios bounti-
ful agricultural production.
Lake Erie coastal National
Scenic byway
June is wine month and there
is no better route in the Midwest
to travel for fine wines than
Ohios northern coast. Ohios
wine business is booming and
gaining more international rec-
ognition every year for its high
quality wine production along
the temperate shores of Lake
Erie.
This route also offers ample
natural attractions for fishing
and bird enthusiasts and the
thrill-seeking appeal of Cedar
Point. Roller coasters, walleye
and wine, how can you go
wrong?
Historic National Road
National Scenic byway
Much of this byway is lined
with interesting agricultural at-
tractions. Dull Homestead Farm
in Montgomery County features
a diversified operation including
hogs and seed corn, but the real
attention getter is the farms tow-
ering windmills and dedication to
renewable energy. The Dulls
have a visitors center to inform
guests about the farm. Devine
Farms and Pigeon Roost Farm in
Licking County offer pumpkins
and a myriad of fun family ori-
ented activities in the late sum-
mer and fall. The trip through
Belmont County passes near the
states largest Christmas tree
farm run by the Feisley family.
The renowned Dickinson Cattle
Co. Longhorn Cattle Ranch is
also near the route, just outside
of Barnesville. Also, be sure to
note the productive corn and soy-
bean fields lining much of Route
40 that are pumping dollars into
the economy and biofuels into
our vehicles.
Amish country National
Scenic byway
Few routes through Ohio of-
fer more picturesque glimpses of
modern and Amish agriculture
than this byway winding through
the heart of the nations largest
Amish community in and around
Holmes and Wayne counties.
Grazing dairy cattle, rolling hay
fields and plenty of down home
Amish appeal (and merchandise)
attract many visitors each year.
Ohio leads the nation in Swiss
cheese production, and ranks
high in other types of cheese pro-
duction, largely due to this region
of the state.
Ohio River National Scenic
byway
It is hard to beat the rolling
landscape, charming towns, his-
torical and agricultural attractions
that ooze from this 452-mile
route along the Ohio River
through 14 counties. Afew of my
favorite stops along the way, or
nearby the designated byway, in-
clude Sweetapple Farms (agri-
tainment), Stacy Family Farms
(strawberries) and Grimms
Green Acres (apples) in Washing-
ton County; the bridge from
Galia County to Point Pleasant,
West Virginia, home of the mys-
terious Mothman that inspired a
book and movie; the appealing
murals in Portsmouth; and some
tasty Montgomery Inn ribs and a
Reds game in Cincinnati.
The canal Way National
Scenic byway
This byway runs from Cleve-
land to Dover along the path of the
Ohio and Erie Canal and offers
several agricultural destinations.

Three members of the Ft. Recovery
FFA Chapter were recognized for
their hard work and effort in receiving
the American FFA Degree Award,
while attending the 84th national FFA
Convention in Indianapolis, Indiana.
The three individuals receiving this
award were Kelsey Brockman, Cody
Kaiser, and Matt Whitacre. These three
make only sixty-nine students awarded
this degree in the history of the Ft.
Recovery FFA Chapter.
The American FFA Degree is the
final step, in a four stepping-stone order
of achievement within the FFA. In order
to receive this award, they were first
required to receive their Greenhand,
Chapter, and State FFA Degrees, the
other three steps for each member in
this process. They were also required
to document that they increased their net
worth by at least 7,500 dollars, worked
the equivalent of 2,250 hours on all of
their projects, and be heavily involved
in school, community, and FFA Chapter
activities.
The American Degree Ceremony was
held at 7:45AM in Lucas Oil Stadium in
Indianapolis and was watched by over
22,000 FFA members, their parents, and
FFA advisors. The American FFA Degree
is a very prestigious award with only
five out of every one thousand members
nationwide receiving the award.
Kelsey Brockman is the daughter
of Gary and Janet Brockman. Kelseys
accomplishments for receiving this
award were recording hours and earnings
at Muhlenkamp Dairy. Cody Kaiser is
the son of Tim and Julie Kaiser. Codys
accomplishments for receiving this
award were recording hours and earnings
at Juttes Landscaping. Matt Whitacre is
the son of Mike and Brenda Whitacre.
Matts accomplishments for receiving
this award were recording hours and
earnings at Whitacre Farms and Juttes
Landscaping.
The Ft. Recovery FFA would
like to congratulate the American
FFA Degree recipients for all
their hard work and dedication.
