More badweather

Some unusual hailstonesshowed up in EmeraldTownship during May 25’sseries of severe thunder-storms. These two nearly filla palm, have stark whitecenters with clear outer lay-ers and are disc-shapedrather than round. Acrossthe county, hail was report-ed in sizes ranging from thatof a pea to that of a golf ball.Damage to maturing wheatand young corn crops arebeing tabulated by insur-ance agencies. The destruc-tion was widespread and“added insult to injury” fol-lowing above normal rain-falls that have kept manyfarmers out of their fields.

State still pursuing issues at former hotelPAULDING – The former Hotel Barnes, lo-

cated in downtown Paulding, has been an eye-sore for several years. Efforts to have the build-ing razed are ongoing.

While it appears the project was stalled,Shane Cartmill of the Ohio State Fire Marshal’soffice, said otherwise. “The matter has not beendropped and is still being actively pursued,”Cartmill said in a telephone interview last week.

He also commented that there could possiblybe some movement in the case within a fewweeks. Cartmill would not elaborate on whatthat might be, but did assure the Progress that

the case is moving forward.In May 2010, the State of Ohio Division of

Industrial Compliance conducted inspection ofthe three-story brick structure, located at 110 S.Williams St. south of the square. Inspectorsfound “obvious structural issues” and “manyother deficiencies” that could pose a threat ofpotential collapse.

Passersby have noticed activity recently infront of the building and in the alley adjacent toit, but the work is not related to the hotel. Crewshave been working on exterior repairs to thebuilding across the street.

By NANCY WHITAKERProgress Staff Writer

PAULDING – DiannaClemens of Paulding hasbeen a cancer survivor for thepast 18 years. She is a living,walking miracle and she willattest to that. “God hasbrought me through somuch,” Dianna said. “Therewas just a time when I had totrust Him and say, ‘God carryme. I cannot go through thisbattle without you.’”

Dianna’s ordeal began inDecember 1993. Even thoughshe had gone Christmas shop-ping, she had been feeling ex-tremely tired. She pulled intoher mother’s driveway andwas struck with an intensepain across her stomach. Shecried, “Oh, my stomach. Ican’t move.”

The Oakwood EMS wascalled and Dianna was trans-ported to Paulding CountyHospital. Her family physi-cian, Dr. Larry Fishbaugh,was on vacation so she wastreated by Dr. James Gray.They began running bloodtests on her and discoveredthat her white blood cellcount was extremely high. Onthe third day of testing, Dr.Gray told her, “We think wehave found your problem andwe believe you haveleukemia.”

She then saw an oncologistin Van Wert, who ran somemore tests. On Dec. 23, 1993,right before Christmas,

Dianna received a call fromthe oncologist, who told her,“You do have CML leukemiaand we advise you to make anappointment with your familydoctor as soon as Christmas isover.”

Dianna said, “I just wentnumb all over. I did not tellmy two sons, George andLuke. I wanted them to have anice Christmas.”

After the holidays, Diannawent to a Fort Wayne hospitalwhere she underwent a CMLleukemia test. They verifiedthe worst possible news andsaid, “We are going to sendyou to the very best place. It isThe James Cancer TreatmentHospital at the Ohio StateUniversity Campus.”

Dianna went to the treat-ment center in Columbus.There, she was told her hopefor survival was to be a bonemarrow transplant. It was notgoing to be an easy task be-cause, she was told, “Youhave to go in this room for 30days. You may never comeout alive, or we may be ableto help you and you couldhave a lifetime.”

Dianna did not sign the pa-pers for the transplant untilNovember 1994. In the inter-im, she took medicine andtried to just carry on. She fi-nally agreed to the transplant,and through testing her broth-er, Tim Stahl, proved to be theperfect match.

“After the marrow tests,

bone marrow tests.“They kill every thing in

your body. I mean, they giveyou medicine to do that.Twenty days before the trans-plant I took 200 chemo pills aday,” she recalls. “I could nottouch anything or anybody.My food was sent up to me ina little thing in the wall.

“It was during that toughtime that I kept singing, ‘YouGave Me a Mountain.’”

Prior to the bone marrowtransplant, they tied Dianna’shands down, for if she shouldtouch anything and contactany type of germ, it would killher.

When healthcare workersharvested bone marrow fromTim, they went into both ofhis hips 200 times each to ex-tract the marrow.

The bone marrow trans-plant took nine hours. Shesaid, “I didn’t want to be se-dated until I saw what thatbone marrow looked like. Igot to see it and it looked likefish eggs.

“I had all these tubes in meand when it was over, theywere hoping my body wouldgo into a disease called graft-host or a rejection mode,”Dianna noted.

It was 30 days beforeDianna was taken out of thesmall transplant room.

Remembering the day theypushed her through the door,she said, “I panicked. I said,‘Put me back in that room. I

will die out here.’”Dianna and her husband

rented a small apartment onthe Ohio State Universitycampus. She had to go backand forth for treatments andwas monitored constantly.Her stay in Columbus lastedapproximately three months.

When she finally got tocome home, it was not longbefore the graft-host diseasemade her very sick. She wastold to come back to the hos-pital.

“We went back and stayedin an apartment again. Theygave me IVs every day. I alsogot breathing treatments andit took nine weeks to getthrough that.”

Dianna continued, “I couldnot have made it throughwithout God, my husband,George, who stuck with methrough those bad times, andmy two sons, George andLuke. I also received so muchsupport from Roger Gasser,who had gone through thetransplant. He helped memore than he will ever know.

“I also was blessed to havethe greatest doctors, and I be-lieve God handpicked themfor me,” Dianna said. “Mybone marrow specialist Dr.Copeland, Dr. Fishbaugh –my family doctor of 39 years– and Dr. Gray, who is myfamily doctor now. I havesuch love, respect and a spe-

Paulding resident JudiAdams will be representingcancer survivors withcourage and gratefulness asan honorary survivor for theRelay For Life of PauldingCounty this year.

For Adams, it seems likelife has been one longjourney through the ill-ness since she discov-ered a lump in her breastin 1984. That episodewas treated with alumpectomy, radiationand a radiation implant.

“A few years later,cancer showed up again,this time in an areawhere radiation treat-ment had been given,”noted Adams. “Then Iwas okay for 14 or 15years. Then, inNovember of 1998, amammogram showed someirregularities in the samebreast and the same area.Since it had already been ra-diated, they couldn’t do moreof that. So I had a mastecto-my and reconstruction sur-gery.

“It was quite an ordeal; itlasted for 12 hours,” contin-ued Adams. “When you losepart of your body, it is some-thing to work through. Thatwas powerful. I was very ex-hausted.”

During that episode, it be-came necessary for Adams tohave her head shaved. Inorder to accomplish that, shewent to a local barber that shehad known since he was akid.

“When I told him what Iwanted, he asked if the can-cer had returned,” saidAdams. “I told him that hav-ing him cut it all off was a lotbetter than having it come outin handfuls. It felt pretty goodwhen the hair grew back.

“In July of 1999 I was feel-ing pretty good. My hair had

grown back and I thought,‘Finally, I am thinking I amon my way back,’” observedAdams. “I went to the doctorfor a checkup. He looked atmy charts and I could tell thathe didn’t like something.Finally, he looked at me andsaid, ‘It looks like you have aform of multiple myoloma in

the blood cells where yourred blood is made.’

“I said, ‘How can that be,’”continued Adams. “I said,‘No, you’re not going to tellme I have another cancer.’”

The doctor suggested thatshe go to a cancer researchcenter in Little Rock, Ark.,where they especially treatthat type of cancer. ThereAdams was told that she had“smoldering multiple myolo-ma” and a pattern of treat-ment was prescribed for hercare.

“I have been following thattreatment since that time. I

usually go every threemonths. It is an intravenoustreatment that used to take 45minutes; now it takes a halfhour,” observed Adams.“This has been an ongoingprocess for over 20 years. Itis so difficult to understand.”

If the cancer wasn’tenough, Adams had lost her

youngest child, daugh-ter Kristy Adams, in asnowmobile accident in1983. It was shortlyafter that when the can-cers started showing up.

“Losing her was thestart of a very longdownside,” Adams said.

Concerning beingchosen as honorary sur-vivor, Adams said thatshe is very honored.

“I’m really gladthey are doing this (hon-orary survivors),” saidAdams. “I don’t believe

they have done this beforewith someone from eachtown in the county. I wouldlike to thank my family for allof the support of my kids, andmy husband, Don, who hasParkinson’s Disease.

“Relay For Life is doingsuch a tremendous job get-ting more and more peoplein,” continued Adams. “It hasexploded since they moved itto the fairgrounds. To me, ithas more of a homey feeling,more of a personal feeling. Iam most grateful for whateveryone is doing to helpwith cancer.”

chemo was becoming effec-tive. It was a goodChristmas.”

It has been five years sinceCoyne struggled with cancer.Since then, the past five yearshave been cancer-free.

“I have a lot of new appre-ciation for my wife and mykids,” observed Coyne. “Istand back and enjoy thingsthat I never used to. Mywhole focus has changed.Something like this changesyou.”

The chemo treatment real-ly lowed Coyne’s bloodcount. Back pain was over-whelming; he found himselfpushing himself to eat andmake an effort to attempt tochange certain mattersaround him.

“The back pain was over-whelming,” said Coyne. “Ibelieved that by having apositive attitude and combin-ing other things, I was guidedto do what I thought was bestat the time, for myself andthose around me. I had a newappreciation for things. Ieven started getting up earlyjust to see the sunrises.”

Coyne praised TaylorMade officials for supporting

him. Even during the treat-ment, he opted to stay activeand do all that he could to becourageous and well-plannedin his plan of attack for treat-ment and recovery.

“It was hard for me to tryto keep everybody up when Iwas having a hard time doingthat myself,” said Coyne.“That chemo had really low-ered the blood count. Withthe bone pain that I was expe-riencing, I realized how im-portant it was to have a posi-tive attitude.

“I kept saying to myself,‘You will see all three of yourkids graduate,’” observedCoyne. “I did not want tomiss that. I appreciated all ofthe assistance from familymembers and from Taylorpersonnel, who were willingto work with me to help mein every way. Everyone hasbeen so good to me in all ofthis.

“I am very thankful to theAmerican Cancer Societyand all that they do,” addedCoyne. “I am thankful for theRelay For Life and the waythat our community gets be-hind all of this. It means morethan I could ever say.”

Thanks to medical knowl-edge of specialists at theCleveland Clinic, Eric Coyneis carrying out full responsi-bilities at his employment atTaylor Made Glass Ohio Inc.in Payne. While Coyne hasenjoyed several years of em-ployment at the local factory,energy for his output wasweak a few years ago whilehe mobilized to take on thefight of a lifetime againstcancer.

“I have a long family histo-ry with cancer,” said Coyne.“I lost my grandmother tocancer. In 2004, I lost mymom; then, in 2005, I was di-agnosed.”

One year after his motherdied, Coyne was initially toldthat he was suffering fromEwing Sarcoma and that hiscancer was terminal.

The local man was givenseveral options and decidedto check into the ClevelandClinic in an effort to changehis diagnosis. There, he had akidney and several lymphnodes removed. He was alsoset up with a treatment of 17rounds of chemotherapy.

One of the principle con-tributors to Coyne’s recoveryeffort was his wife, Brandy,who did a considerableamount of research on-line.When the decision was madeto go to Cleveland, they wereassisted with referral helpfrom their physician.

Once Coyne arrived inCleveland, things started tomove quickly.

“Dr. Garcia, who saw mefirst, wanted me to see a urol-ogist,” said Coyne. “I sawhim later in the day. He wentover my information andsaid, ‘We will have surgerytomorrow.’”

Dr. Garcia’s plan of attackallowed Coyne to returnhome for six weeks followingthe surgery. He was then toreturn to Cleveland periodi-cally to establish a certaintreatment regimen.

“This was all very intimi-dating for me,” said Coyne.“It was a tough time for me.

“I was stunned by it all,”continued Coyne. “In FortWayne, I had a team of sixurologists. They looked at meand said that it was inopera-ble. I went up to Clevelandand they said, ‘This is noth-ing. We do this weekly.’ Itwas scary for me. I didn’thave the chance to see thechildren at home before Iwent into major surgery.

“Around Christmas, theystarted seeing a reduction intumors in the lungs,” notedCoyne. “They knew that the

Our laundry is drying reallywell on the lines outside. Thesun is shining, but it lookscloudy towards the west. Withthe sun and the wind, daugh-ter Elizabeth is bringing insome of the dry clothes al-ready. We are hoping every-thing will be dry before therain. I am later at getting thiscolumn written, but I couldn’trelax and sit down until thelaundry was done.

We had a thunderstorm lastnight. Our neighbor lady saidsomeone had spotted a tor-nado not too far from here. Itmissed us, but sure makes usthinks of the ones not solucky. Our thoughts andprayers are with all the peoplewho have been affected.

Meanwhile, this week wewant to start washing wallsand ceilings, cleaning out ourcabinets and drawers, and soforth. I would like to get ahead start on cleaning forchurch services that will beheld here at our home in fourweeks.

Our thoughts linger to ayear ago when we receivedthe shocking news of thedeath of Emma and Jacob’ssweet little daughter Marilyn(who was my niece). It justseemed that it couldn’t havebeen true that she could begone after her eight shortmonths here on earth. She isstill so dearly missed but Godhas a reason for this, like hedoes for everything.

And May 20 marked 11years since my dad passedaway. The years go on by, butour memories of him staywith us forever.

Emma, Jacob, and familycame here on Friday eveningin honor of my 40th birthday,which was May 22. My hus-band, Joe, grilled chicken andmade hot wings out on thegrill. Along with that we hadmashed potatoes, gravy, corn,cheese, ice cream and ahomemade rhubarb torte (seelast week’s column for therecipe).

Saturday evening, myfriend Ruth brought pizza andice cream cake for my birth-day – what a treat.

Sunday we attended churchat our neighbors. It was alarge attendance with familiesvisiting from other churchdistricts. While we were eat-

ing lunch, I was given a pieceof cake with a candle on it.Everyone began to sing“Happy Birthday” to me. An-other lady there, Marie, alsohad a birthday and they sangto her as well. I am glad Iwasn’t having my 63rd birth-day like she was; 40 seemsold enough for me.

Sunday evening, I was sur-prised again when pizza wasdelivered for supper. Thanksgoes to my editor Kevin forthat. I told my husband Joethat it took three birthdaysuppers for my 40th birth-day!

Everything was greatly ap-preciated. It means a lot tonot have to cook a meal whenyou are used to preparingthree meals a day.

We are enjoying lettuceand radishes out of the gar-den. It has still been very wetand I don’t have tomatoes,peppers or cabbage out yet.

Joe doesn’t have work nextweek so he will be home tohelp. He hopes to get caughtup with the outside work be-fore church services are heldhere. The hay is also growingwith all the rain we have had.

Another thing Joe wants tocrowd in is to go fishing.Bass season opens on Satur-day and he would like to giveit a try.

It is now after lunch andwe have moved all clothesthat aren’t dry yet onto theporch line where they will beprotected from the rain. Wehave been having small thun-derstorms every once inawhile this afternoon.

A reader from Hamilton,Ind., sent me this cherry-rhubarb coffeecake recipethat I’d like to try. I will shareit with you all. The recipe hasthree separate parts: the fill-ing, the cake and the topping.

CHERRY RHUBARB

1-1/2 cups sugar1 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 cup butter or margarine

Preheat oven to 350°. In asaucepan, cook rhubarb andlemon juice over medium-low heat for five minutes,stirring often to prevent burn-ing. In a separate small bowl,combine sugar and cornstarchand then add to rhubarb mix-ture. Cook and stir five min-utes more until thick andbubbly.

WBESC contacts legislatorsabout proposed state budget cuts

PAULDING – The WesternBuckeye ESC GoverningBoard held its regular monthlymeeting May 11, 2011 in thePaulding ESC office. BoardPresident Jerry Zielke wel-comed board members andschool personnel to the meet-ing.

Superintendent Brian Ger-ber informed the board that the21st Century CommunityLearning Grant has been sub-mitted. Five different grantshave been submitted forWayne Trace Local, Lincol-nview Local, Antwerp Local,Paulding Exempted Villageand Van Wert City. A decisionon grant acceptance is targetedby July 1.

Gerber commended West-ern Buckeye ESC employeesMatt Krites and LindaKrauskopf for their time andeffort they put into writing thisgrant. “Matt and Linda workedtirelessly on this grant. Theyworked with school personnelin both counties for the better-

ment of our students.”Gerber also announced that

the Teaching American His-tory Grant has been submittedand also commended ChrisFeichter for writing the TAHgrant.

Gerber expressed his grati-tude and appreciation to theBeta Delta Chapter of Psi IotaXi Sorority for their generous$250 donation for educationalsupplies for the general opera-tion of the Thomas EdisonPreschool.

He reported that letters werewritten and mailed to U.S.Senator Sherrod Brown, U.S.Senator Rob Portman, OhioSenator Cliff Hite, and U.S.Representative Bob Latta re-garding the proposed statebudget. Governor Kasich’sproposed budget for FY-12and FY-13 calls for under-standable reductions in statefunding for all governmentalentities. Unfortunately, not allof the “cuts” are equal in theiractuality or in their effect upon

the local economy.Gerber pointed out that edu-

cational service centers inOhio have not received an in-crease in state funding since1998. Since that time, ESCfunding has been reducedtwice. The Governor’s budgetcalls for a 10 percent cut forFY-12 and another cut of 15percent for FY-13. This will re-duce ESC State funding a full30 percent since 1998.

In the budget proposal,ESC’s are highlighted to leadthe school initiative in sharedservice investigations and im-plementations. This role is ex-citing and underscores the trueflexibility and entrepreneur-ship of ESC’s, but it becomesextremely difficult to completewhen ESC staffs and facilitiesare compromised due to theexcessive loss of funding.

Treasurer Gary Ginter re-viewed the current financialreports, investments and themonthly expenditures with theboard.

CommunitySheriff’s Report

The Spice RackBy: Dortha Schaefer

In today’s world, we aregiven plenty of warning aboutthe dangers of eating meat fat,a habit that builds up choles-terol in veins and causes allsorts of troubles. Years ago,about 60 of them, in Ethel’sfamily, no one had as yetheard of the dangers of ani-mal fats. Ethel’s motherthought her kids needed therich stuff and some of themhated it.

Ethel’s brothers hated thegreasy stuff found on ham.While cleaning house onespring, the girls found a sur-prising cache on the ledges ofthe oak table where the fam-ily met to eat. Tucked out ofMama’s sight were innumer-able pieces of ham fat.

• • •Everyone has heard by this

time that our section of thecountry was once covered byglaciers. We wonder why theice would come down so far,as far as St. Louis, Mo. Whileyou’re wondering about tor-nadoes and earthquakes, youmight as well ponder on theglaciers and why they form.According to the experts, ittook only about a century forthose glaciers to develop.

• • •We have reached that time

of year known as vacationtime. Memorial Day is pastand now it is on to July 4thand Big Stuff as people try tohit some of the states thathaven’t been reached withpicture taking for the Pauld-ing Progress.

This is also mosquito andchigger time, not to mentionfireworks, lost luggage,loused-up reservations andsoaking wet golf courses.

And another thing – if va-cations are supposed to besuch fun, why is it so hard torefold roads maps?

Also being told about town– Paulding County farmersare out chasing Flat Rockcarp around their as-yet-not-planted corn and bean fields.

• • •“A lot of this country’s

troubles,” says Maude Mopp,harried housewife, “mighthave become worse whenwomen stopped going tonearby streams to wash theirclothes. They pounded themon rocks and stones to get thestains out.

“Washing dirty linen inpublic may have come to

mean something highly unde-sirable, but think about it amoment.

“The pounding of the hus-band’s clothing on the rockswould work out untoldamounts of frustration con-cerning that fellow. Sharingher feeling with the poundernext to her on the river bankwould have therapeutic value,too.

“This same fact would holdtrue with children’s clothing.It is possible the day of therock-scrub-riverside laundryis not truly dead. There is themodern laundromat to con-sider. There is no poundinggoing on there, of course. Per-haps it is serving the purposeof that long-ago necessity ofhaving someone to talk to andbetter understand their prob-lems as the modern machinesgo through their processes.

“One could say that mod-ern laundromats serve ascycle-analyst,” sighs Maude.

• • •Are you eating ham fat,

chasing carp from the fieldsaround Flat Rock, or doingthe laundry in strangeplaces? Tell us, we’ll telleverybody.

Extension Web site offers helpfor delayed planting decisions

By Jim Lopshire

OSU Extension educator

As of Sunday, May 22, theOhio Crop Weather High-lights reported corn for Ohiowas 11 percent planted,which was 76 percent behindlast year and 69 percent be-hind the five-year average.Corn emerged was 2 percent,compared to 72 percent lastyear and 58 percent for thefive-year average.

As for soybeans, 4 percentof the crop was planted,which was 44 percent behindlast year and 50 percent be-hind the five-year average.One percent of soybeanswere emerged, compared to30 percent last year and 26percent for the five-year av-erage.

With continued wet soilconditions throughout Ohio,farmers are evaluating plant-ing decisions on whether toplant corn, switch to soy-beans, or opt for preventativeplanting crop insurance pay-ments.

One of the biggest agro-nomic concerns with se-verely delayed planting is therisk of the crop not reachingphysiological maturity before

a killing fall freeze and theyield losses that could result.An economic concern withdelayed planting is the risk ofhigh grain moistures at har-vest and the resulting costsincurred by drying the grainor price discounts by buyers.

Other major agriculturalconcerns associated with de-layed planting that can im-pact a producer’s decisioninclude relative prices ofcorn and soybeans, marketbasis differences due to alater harvested crop, potentialsavings of crop inputs due toa later planting date, poten-tially higher costs of graindrying, and crop insurancecoverage level.

To help in the decision

making process, The OhioState University ExtensionAgronomic Crops Team hasconstructed a Web site titledDecision Resources andTools for 2011 Late Planting.The Web site is located athttp://agcrops.osu.edu/links/20 1 1 - l a t e - p l a n t i n g -resources/decision-resources-and-tools-for-2011-late-planting and has a variety of infor-mation based on questionsExtension has received fromfarmers across the state.

The Web site is updatedwith current agronomic pro-duction and crop insuranceinformation farmers can useto make an informed decisionthat is best for their farmingoperation.

Farmers are faced with oneof the most complicated agri-cultural decisions in recentyears. There are several fac-tors associated in the deci-sion to plant corn, switch tosoybeans, or opt for preven-tative planting crop insurancepayments due to delayedplanting. The Web site willprovide information to helpfarmers make an informeddecision.

PEANUT! PEANUT BUTTER!One of my earliest memo-

ries of food is that jar of de-light known as peanut butter.When growing up, toast,bread or crackers were notserved or eaten withoutpeanut butter.

I remember that there usedto be a corner drugstore thatnot only had fountain cokes,but they had a new sandwichcalled “grilled peanut butterand lettuce.” My mama tookme in there and we split agrilled peanut butter sand-wich. I thought at that time,“There is just nothing betterthan this.”

I know peanut butter is apopular kid’s food and fa-vorite sandwiches for kidsare peanut butter and jelly.Now, we also served peanutbutter on toast and on top ofthat we spread marshmallowcream. That is still one of myfavorites today even thoughpeople think it is a strangecombination.

Now, I really neverthought a lot about peanutbutter until I recently heardthe old song made in 1961called, “Peanut Butter.” A lotof people say, “Oh, there wasno such song,” but there is.

“Peanut, peanut butter. Ilike peanut butter, you likepeanut butter, too.”

Of course when I think ofpeanut butter, I think of itbeing spread on a slice ofbread or toast. However, somany recipes call for peanutbutter. There are peanut but-ter cookies, peanut butter pie,peanut butter fudge andpeanut butter cake. I recentlybegan making peanut butterand jelly stuffed French toast,which is delicious.

All the cook has to do ismake a peanut butter andjelly sandwich and then dipin egg and fry as you wouldFrench toast. If you have nottried this, it is well worth it.

In 1890, an enterprisingphysician, Dr. John Kellogg(of Corn Flakes fame), cre-ated peanut butter as a

healthy protein substitute thatwas easy to digest for pa-tients with no teeth.

In 1904, peanut buttercame into the limelight at theSt. Louis Universal Exposi-tion by concessionaire C.H.Sumner, where it was pro-moted as a health food.

Today’s peanut butter, astaple in most pantries, canserve an astonishing varietyof household purposes. Tryusing peanut butter theseways:

• Use a bit of peanut but-ter on a cotton cloth to rub offlabel adhesives. (Good idea,but wouldn’t clothes smelllike peanut butter?)

• Massage a bit of peanutbutter into hair to remove awad of chewing gum. (I cansee this working, but neverhave tried it.)

• Use a thin coat as a sub-stitute for shaving cream.(This one here may be wortha try if you want to putpeanut butter on yourself.)They say the peanut butter issmooth and hydrates theskin.

• Polish leather and vinylitems using a bit of peanutbutter on a cotton cloth.Buffs up wooden items, too.

• Hang pine cones stuffedwith a mixture of peanut but-ter and coarse cornmeal as atreat for winter birds. (Theseare fun to make and serves agood purpose.)

• Smear it on garden tools(including wooden handles)as a winter preservative andon lawnmower blades as a lu-bricant.

• Spread some on a sliceof apple or a scrap of breadfor a good mousetrap bait. (Iknow this works!)

• Encourage your dog toswallow a pill by sticking itinto the center of a little gobof peanut butter.

Today, more than half theAmerican peanut crop goesinto the making of peanutbutter, but surprisingly, themajority of peanut butterconsumed in the United

States is imported. (Youmight know.)

In 1992, statistics showedAmericans alone consumed857 million pounds of peanutbutter or 3.36 pounds per per-son.

An American-born fa-vorite, peanut butter quicklybecame not only a nutritiousfood, but also a comfort foodfor most Americans born inthe 1900s.

Do you like peanut butterand what do you eat it on?Do you know what famoussinger loved peanut butterand banana sandwiches? Doyou remember the song,“Peanut Butter?”

Let me know and I’ll giveyou a “Penny for YourThoughts.”

QUESTION: Our 22-year-

old son is graduating from

college this month. He does-

n’t have a job lined up and

has no idea what he’s going

to do. My husband and I

don’t know what our role is

in this new stage of parent-

ing. Do we let him live at

home?

JULI: Your question is a com-mon one. Gone are the dayswhen a college graduate wasready and willing to dive intoall of the responsibilities of fi-nancial and personal inde-pendence. Due to the tougheconomy, among other fac-tors, most 22-year-olds findthemselves in a delayed stageof adolescence. They want thefreedom of adulthood, but feelparalyzed by the complexityand pressures that accompanyindependence. This puts par-ents, like you, in the awkwardposition of actively parentingan adult child.

Your ultimate goal is to helpyour son launch into the fullindependence of adulthood. Ifyou choose to let him live athome after graduation, don’tallow that time to be wasted.Set boundaries and require-ments up front that will helphim grow toward maturity andresponsibility. It is reasonableto expect that he hold down afull-time job and/or pursue ad-ditional schooling or training.It may also be wise to set a de-

parture date so that you do notenable him to avoid that nextstep of independence.

Some parents charge theiradult children rent for living athome. They put some of themoney paid into a savings ac-count that will be seed moneyfor a deposit or downpaymenton a future living arrange-ment.

Even more than a roof overhis head, your son needs yourwisdom and encouragementas he looks toward the future.Help him think long-termabout his goals for vocation,family and financial independ-ence. As long as you see himmaking good decisions, ac-tively moving toward thesegoals, your help is a goodthing.QUESTION: I was laid off

more than a year ago, and I

still feel stunned. I don’t

even know how to look for a

job after being steadily em-

ployed for six years. How do

I get out of this rut?

JIM: Being let go from a jobis one of the toughest things aperson can face. But considerthis: Unemployment also rep-resents a unique opportunity.When you’re gainfully em-ployed, all of your time andenergy goes into just keepingup. But when you lose yourjob, suddenly there’s time andenergy to spare. Most peopledon’t know what to do with it.

They become paralyzed withfear, worry and anger. That’s anatural reaction, but if it’s allthey experience while they’reunemployed, something ismissing.

After a job loss, you’re mo-tivated to see clearly and hon-estly – perhaps for the firsttime in years. Your assignmentisn’t merely to search for fi-nancial security in a new job.It’s to rediscover who you are.

Use this time to ask yourselfsome serious questions.“What gifts and talents do Ipossess that I didn’t have achance to use in my formerjob? Are there educational op-portunities I should explore?What am I learning about my-self through this job loss that Ididn’t know – or didn’t wantto know – before? What do Ireally want to do with mylife?”

Once you’re employedagain, this window will close.Life will once again be over-whelmed with work responsi-bilities and day-to-day cares.You won’t have “down time”like this again. As hard as it isto lose your job, it’s harder tofind genuine opportunities totake stock of who you are andwhere you want to go.

Many people wonder howthey get stuck in ruts along theway. Perhaps your job loss isGod’s way of helping you finda better path.

Pain management physician offers

new procedure for treating

compression fractures of the spineDEFIANCE – Kellee R.

Gooden, M.D., pain manage-ment physician at DefianceClinic and Mercy Hospital ofDefiance, has expanded herservices to include a mini-mally invasive surgical pro-cedure for treatingcompression fractures of thespine.

Called kyphoplasty, theprocedure is used to reducepain and restore the height ofthe collapsed vertebra. Fre-quently, it can be performedas an outpatient service in theFauster Surgery Center atMercy.

A small balloon is insertedthrough a tiny slit in the backand carefully inflated to re-turn the vertebra to the cor-rect position. Then theballoon is withdrawn andquick-drying bone cement isinserted into the cavity thatwas formed by the balloon.The cement stabilizes the

fracture and holds the bone inplace.

Compression fractures aremost often caused by osteo-porosis, cancer that hasspread to the spine, or traumasuch as a fall or auto acci-dent.

Kyphoplasty is most effec-tive when compression frac-tures are diagnosed early, Dr.Gooden noted.

‘Winning the Battle for a Generation’By Rick Jones

exec. director, DefianceArea Youth for Christ

The relevance of church attendance may havelost much of its allure in America but not inEthiopia.

While Paul Knight, a pastor from GrandForks, N.D., was visiting Fiche, Ethiopia, he hadthe chance to meet the little girl his family hadbeen sponsoring through Compassion Interna-tional.

He wanted to bring gifts to the girl and hermother, a single mom who lived and worked ina one-room home that also basically functionedas the local bar. During Paul’s visit, the placeslowly started filling with rowdy men from thecommunity. Suddenly, Paul’s guide and transla-tor took him by the arm and said, “We have togo now.”

Paul looked back at his sponsor child, a 10-year-old girl, and asked for more time. Thecrowd was getting louder, and his guide firmlysaid, “It’s not safe for you. You must leave now.”Paul started to move, but then he pointed to hissponsor child and said, “But what about my littlegirl?”

“Well, this is her home,” the guide said.Reluctantly moving to the street, Paul asked,

“But will she be safe?”“It’s not really safe, but this is her home,” the

guide said.Paul was indignant. “What does that mean,”

he asked, “that ‘it’s not really safe’?”“Most likely everything you think it means,”

the guide said.Paul fought back tears. “What can she do?”Gently grabbing his arm, the guide said, “We

teach the girls to do this: scream and run to thechurch. When you get to the church, you willfind love and safety. The church will shelter you.So when they feel threatened or vulnerable, theyscream and run to the church.”

Regarding the importance of church, espe-cially in light of Western Culture’s affinity tostop church going, the writer to Hebrews writes... Hebrews 10:24-25 (NIV), “24 And let us con-sider how we may spur one another on towardlove and good deeds. 25 Let us not give up meet-ing together, as some are in the habit of doing,but let us encourage one another – and all themore as you see the Day approaching.”

“I feel as if I am my brotherTim. He is gone now, but partof him lives in me. I even de-veloped his allergies,” she said.

Her key to survival has beenher faith in God, the support ofher family and a determinationto live.

Paulding County Pedigree

By: Caroline ZimmermanPAULDING COUNTY IN THE CIVILWARPart 2 of 2

The fourth company organ-ized in Paulding County forthe three years service was Co.“I” of the 100th RegimentOhio Volunteer Infantry. Thecompany was recruited byEmanuel Kaufman, who waselected captain, with DennisonS. Hughes, 1st Lieut. andJoseph S. Champion, 2ndLieut. This company, also, didnoble service until their coun-try needed their services nolonger.

In the spring of 1863, the42nd Battalion Ohio NationalGuards, consisting of Co. “A”,“B” and “C”, was organized inPaulding County and com-manded by Major Andrew P.Meng.

In April 1864, the battalionwas called into active service,and rendezvoused at Antwerp,drilled for a day or two, andwas sent home with order toreport again for duty on the10th of that month.

The 10th came, the battalionreported as ordered, and wassoon on its way to serve the

general government for the pe-riod of 100 days.

At Toledo, it was found thatthe battalion did not have threemaximum companies, and Co.“C” was consolidated withcompanies “A” and “B”.

With these two companies,the battalion proceeded toColumbus and were ordered toCamp Chase, four miles westof that city.

Here it was consolidatedwith the 32nd Battalion fromLogan County and one com-pany from MontgomeryCounty, Ohio, and becameCompanies “A” and “H” ofthe l32nd Regiment Ohio Na-tional Guards and musteredinto the United States service.

The officers of the Com-pany “A” were Captain JohnShirley, 1st Lieut. F.S. Cableand 2nd Lt. Peter Snook. Offi-cers of Company “H” wereCaptain B.F.H. Hankins, 1stLieut. E.H. Day and 2nd Lieut.William Good.

The regiment was sent to theArmy of the Potomac and at-tached to the 2nd Brigade, 2ndDivision, of the 18th ArmyCorps. The regiment did hon-

orable service in the trenchesaround Petersburg, until its ex-piration of term; the regimentwas mustered out of serviceSept. 10, 1864.

Besides these companiesthat were organized in Pauld-ing County, many enlisted inthe companies of other coun-ties, so that at one time duringthe war scarcely a “corporal’sguard” was left in the county.

“Then let the heart of everyex-soldier who may read thishistory swell with emotions ofpride (or the descendant,thereof), when he or she re-members that in the Great Re-bellion he represented thissmall county that, according toits population, sent more sol-diers than another in the Stateof Ohio. And rememberingthis, may the tender teardropfall to the memory of their gal-lant comrades, who rallyingaround the flag of liberty, laiddown their noble lives on thealtar of their country.” – Anon.

Handprints of caring left behindIn the midst of one of the

most destructive scenes to everoccur on American soil standsa small wall with colorful re-minders of the love of childrenfrom around the world.

On one side of the wall areposters filled with handprintsfrom children who wished tosend their touching concern toall of those affected by thetragedy that occurred at the Al-fred P. Murrah Federal Build-ing in downtown OklahomaCity on April 19, 1995.

Other than the terroristtragedy of Sept. 11, 2001, theOklahoma City blast was themost deadly to occur on Amer-ican soil with the bomb snuff-ing out the lives of 168 people,including 19 children underthe age of six. Three hundredand twenty-four buildingswithin a 16-block radius weredamaged. There were 86 carsdestroyed and glass was shat-tered in 258 nearby buildings.

On one side of the children’smemorial are colored picturesand words of condolence de-picting the heartfelt attempts ofchildren to express their con-cern to all of those affected bythe tragedy. On the other sideof the wall are traced handsand names of youngsters ex-pressing their desire to placethe imprints of their caringhands on the hearts of the hurt-ing.

The memorial is designed tooffer comfort at every turn.Large monuments inscribedwith the time one minute be-fore and one minute after thedestruction of the building arereflected in a large quiet pool,which stretches the length ofthe former government build-ing. On a quiet hillside, monu-ments to each person whoselife was taken stand in reposecasting their shadows in thebright Oklahoma sun. Smallmonuments represent the livesof children who were snuffedout at such a tender age.

Perhaps the ultimate reach isa large statue of Jesus at oneend of the memorial, handsover his eyes as he weeps, withthe words carved in the base ofthe monument, “Jesus wept.”

But it was the hands of thecaring children that grippedmy heart on a recent visit to thesite during a short vacation.

I thought of those hands andhow they represented themany caring hands reachingout on a daily and hourly basisto those with need, hands ofcaretakers in nursing homesand by the sides of mentally

HOMESPUNchildren and their attempt toaddress the overwhelminggrief in the midst of the memo-rial of the tragedy of that day.Many notes are pasted on afence surrounding the memo-rial, notes of those wishing toupdate their fallen loved onesof life in the present 15 yearslater.

And in it all, I couldn’t helpbut wonder where I have lefthand imprints over the yearsthat have sought to address theneeds and express compassionto others. Like the hand of Godreaching to a hurting world,the hands of Jesus weepingover those who feels so deeplyfor, and children worldwidewith childlike love in theirhearts, I prayed that my handswould fall on hurting heartsand in places of need, leavingan imprint that will remain aslong as the touch is needed.

and physically handicapped. Ithought of the hands of thosein the military workingsteadily for the protection ofour country. I thought of thehands of those working behindthe scenes to improve the livesof others, those addressing theneeds of mentally and physi-cally handicapped, but handsof individuals whose nameswe will probably neverknow.

A couple of years ago, aclose friend and I stood hav-ing a reflective chat oneevening as a most impressivesunset unfolded in front ofour eyes ... and suddenly, theappearance of a hand reach-ing out in compassion ap-peared over the entire scene,as though it were the hand ofGod still reaching to a world ofneed.

I thought of the hand of Godas I looked at the hands of the

Div. IV Regional Softball

Archers fall in regional semisBy STEVE MAJOR

SportswriterFINDLAY – The Antwerp

Archers came up short again atthe softball Division IV Re-gional at Findlay last Friday,falling to Fremont St. Josephby a score of 3-1. The lossmarked the end to another suc-cessful season for Antwerp,who complete the year with a16-8 record.

After retiring St. Joseph inthe top of the first, Antwerp’sAJ Stuck led off the bottom ofthe inning with a single andthen got herself to second witha steal. Eventually she scoredthe game’s first run when sen-ior Toni Winslow drove her inwith double.

“With that first run, Ithought we really got it going,”said Antwerp head coach GaryRodenberger. But, his teamwould only get two more hitsthe rest of the game.

“We were a little anxious;we should have seen a fewmore pitches,” said Roden-berger. “We got people on, butcouldn’t get them in. I wasn’tcomfortable with the flow ofthe game. But credit theirpitcher.”

Meanwhile, Fremont St.Joseph pushed across singleruns in the third, fifth and sev-enth innings. In the middle ofeach rally was the Streaks’leadoff hitter Kristin Sessler.

“We were concerned withtheir leadoff hitter. She hasgood bat control and goodspeed,” said Rodenberger.

“It was like a chess game. Wemade the first move (taking the1-0 lead) and they made a coun-termove to tie it. Then they wentahead, but we couldn’t make thenext countermove,” lamentedthe Antwerp coach.

Antwerp hurler Jayla Cham-berlain took the loss, giving upthe three earned runs on six hitsand one walk while striking outfive.

“Jayla pitched a great game.She didn’t have so many strike-outs, but she kept us close. Shepitched out of a situation wherethere were runners on secondand third and only one out. Theycould have busted the gamewide open. Plus, we playedgood ‘D’ behind her. We onlycommitted one error.”

The game marked the end ofthe high school softball careersfor three Antwerp seniors –Winslow, Loni Walk and JessieArnold.

“This group of seniors did anice job of leading our girls thisyear,” praised Rodenberger.“They came in as freshmen myfirst year and we kind of tossedthem right into the fire from theget-go. They did all we asked ofthem. I’m really pleased withwhat they did for the pro-gram.”

While these seniors will bemissed, the last few yearsAntwerp has been able to re-load instead of rebuild.

“The girls did a great job toget us back to regionals thisyear,” said Rodenberger.“But I also look forward tonext year and working withthat group of seniors.”
