BY NANCY SPENCER DHI Media Editor [email protected] DELPHOS —With Christmas just around the corner, the Delphos Area Art Guild may have the solution with one-stop shopping on Friday during the group’s annual Holiday Bazaar and the Holiday Hop on Saturday, which will take participants to several area vendors for a one-of-a-kind shopping experience. Shoppers at the Holiday Bazaar will also feel good will toward others as 10 percent of all sales go to the Delphos Relay for Life while they check off items on their Christmas lists. “This event really continues a per- sonal conversation between the com- munity and artists in a fun and cel- ebratory manner. Being able to bring 25-plus vendors together of handmade items is a special, special treat,” DAAG Director Shauna Turner-Smith said. The Holiday Bazaar is from 6-10 p.m. Friday and tickets are $10 per person, which gains the holder access to 25-plus handmade vendors, a wine tasting from Jubilee Winery, a raffle ticket and light refreshments. Artists and artisans range from 7-plus food vendors to great crafts and fine arts. Vendors will focus on gift items and the price range begins at $1 to $25 typical and a couple items in the higher price ranges. “I personally have moments of awe when I see the items created by these artists and artisans. The love they put into each item is amazing. Shoppers can’t find what will be here on Friday and on the road Saturday anywhere else,” she said. “Glass items blown, formed or soldered by their hands; felted items starting at the sheering of the sheep; fiber items with each stitch lovingly made; bread kneaded and perfectly baked; crafted items painted one stroke at a time; and metal-formed items where you can see each time the hit the metal. These truly are one-of-a- kind works of art.” Saturday is the Holiday Hop with Party Bus from 1-7 p.m. at $25 per person. Shop in style and hop from DAAG, to Vino Bellissimo, to Wapak Riverside Art Center and finally Van Wert’s Once I Was shoppe. Each stop has vendors with more than 50 total. Enjoy your own bev- erages on the bus and relax while being chauffeured from one venue to the next. Light refreshments will be offered at each stop. Turner-Smith says shopping is inevitable but finding that special something made by a local artist is important. “We all have to shop for the holi- days and at some point, we will end up at a box store but before someone does that, they really need to take a moment to peruse and perhaps even buy items that were made by someone right here,” Turner-Smith stressed. “You are supporting our local economy.” Call 419-741-4118 or visit www. delphosareaartguild.com to view addi- tional details and register online.

Who knows how many lives might have been saved because of their keen observations?” The storm in all of its fury finally was on the ground for 29 min- utes in Van Wert County and 51 minutes in the state of Ohio, ranked as a strong EF-4 with 260-mile-per hour winds and headed right for the Van Wert Cinemas.

Getting to know ...
... the Van Wert County EMA Director
BY JIM LANGHAMDHI Media Editor
VAN WERT In his 24 years as serv-ing as Van Wert County EMA director, Rick McCoy still believes the single largest and most stressful event was forecasting and cleaning up after the Nov. 10, 2002, massive tornado that cut a wide swath of destruction across the county.
It wasnt that we didnt know that some-thing was possible, McCoy recalled. Two days ahead of time, the storm prediction cen-ter had alerted us of the potential for a large outbreak. That Sunday morning they warned us of an outbreak from the Gulf of Mexico into the upper Tennessee Valley. The thought at that time was that the worst part would go just south of that area.
I will never forget, when I walked out of church that Sunday morning, I had a bad feel-ing about that day, continued McCoy. Still, when they started putting out watches, we were not under a tornado watch here. Most people werent overly concerned. After all, this was November. Nothing like that happens around here in November, they thought.
McCoys concern was heightened when he started noticing the rapid development of a large super cell between Indianapolis and Lafayette that was moving to the northeast.
The actual first tornado touchdown was in Wells County, Indiana, McCoy said. It appeared to be going up and down across Blackford and Adams County. My Willshire spotter saw it on the ground near Monroe but it lifted around Willshire.
