THIS WEEKIN YOUR COMMUNITYCOMMUNITY SPOTLIGHTMarch 7 - 13, 2012Ive never minded that Im a year older and that was my feeling on Monday when I well ... officially became a year older.I have a friend who didnt even want to talk about the year she turned 40. She found it depressing. I didnt even want to ask her how well turning 50 went. I guess she survived.Of course I like to say Im 29 and molding, I mean holding, but dont mind telling my age most of the time.Would I want to be 29 again? Probably not. I wouldnt have enjoyed the many experiences I have had between then and now.At 29, I didnt have four grandchildren and one on the way. At that time I was the mother of a four year old and a two year old. Although its a great experience having preschoolers, its not always easy. Im not sure I could do it again.If I was 29 I wouldnt have yet met the many friends I have made between then and now.I even did the calculations. I hadnt even worked for a newspaper yet. This is an experience I would not give up. I wouldnt mind giving up late night hours covering an election or going out in freez-ing weather to take pictures of a fire, but the people and places I have met have been fantastic.As a way to laugh about aging Im offering some one-liners to enjoy.Highlights of being over-the-hill: Your joints are better weather forecasters than the meteorologist. No on expects you to run, anywhere. You no longer think of the speed limit as a challenge. Your body makes the same noise as the coffee maker.Or as someone once told me, the nice thing about being senile is you can hide your own Easter eggs.So the next time you have a birthday, dont worry about the number of candles you have to blow out. Instead worry about the global warm-ing youre causing with all those candles burning.Thanks to everyone for all the cards and social media greetings.

Juniors will compete in the Elec-tronic Challenge and seniors will compete in the Drag Race Com-petition. The event is open to the public on Wednesday, March 7, in the gymnasium in Cook Hall.Due to the heavy course requirements of the college accredited courses the students take at Miller City, their instruc-tor, Dave Shaffer, said they only spend about three weeks preparing for this engineering challenge.This is Miller Citys sixth year at the engineering day competition.The students in the engineering classes are part of Miller Citys Project Lead The Way (PLTW) involvement. PLTW is the lead-ing provider of rigorous and innovative Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education curricular programs used in middle and high schools across the U.S.Shaffer is an instructor at Rhodes State College and Miller City High School. He has been teaching at Miller City for 6 years. He teaches Digital Electronics and Circuit Analysis to the juniors and Auto Cad1, AutoCAD 3D, and Robotics and Mechatronics to the seniors. Students in these classes receive college credit for the courses taught by Rhodes instructors at Miller City High School. Miller City High Schools PLTW program was initially one of ten schools in the countryand the first in Ohionamed as an exemplary, model school within the PLTW National net-work of schools.The program allows students to get a taste of college experi-ence while in high school.Other PTLW instructors at Miller City include Paul Lentz, who teaches Introduction to Engineering Design and math and Bryan Benroth who teaches Principles of Engineering and upper level math and science courses.Miller City School guidance counselor Steve Peck said this is the ninth year the school has been providing PTLW courses. Shaffer said students from six schools including Miller City and Rhodes State College will be com-peting in Engineering Day compe-tition at Rhodes State College. High school students entered in the mini drag racing, use cars they constructed in their high school labs. At Miller City the students designed the cars on computer and then were able to have their models made using a 3D plastic printer at the school. Shaffer said he was able to receive a grant for the school to purchase the special printer. Students also can enter the Electronic Challenge during the competition.The Engineering day compe-tition is one of the best events of our schools year and shows our students hard work and effort to be show cased in the public arena, Shaffer said. Skills developed over the course of the school year including trigonometry, Cad, and engi-neering problem solving are all employed in the preparing for the competition.These Miller City High School seniors including Joshua Kuhlman, Jacob Schnipke, Dustin Cass, Ryley Niese, Brent Niese, Chandler Shafer, Jared Kern, Brent Hermiller, Derek Kaufman, Cody Gable and John Schroeder, show the cars they are preparing for this weeks competition at Rhodes State College.

She said she was never present the three times he bowled a perfect 300. Joei said it was only fair that he was not present when she bowled a 300.Joei became the first woman to bowl a 300 in a Putnam County bowling alley on Feb. 21. I dont think it has sunk in yet, admitted Joei. Its kind of over-whelming. She was bowling at Ottawa Highland Lanes.Bowling is second nature to her family. Her grandmother Mary Jane Mullett, originally managed the bowling alley, the Main Way, for-merly located at the corner of SR 65 and US 224.When that was flooded out in January 1959, her brothers opened Highland Lanes in Ottawa. This was opened only 9 months later in Sep-tember. Mullett managed this bowl-ing alley until she died.I think Ive been bowling my entire life, Joei said. She began by using a 6 pound ball known as Black Beauty. Then I grew into a 10 pound ball. It was called the Star Ball and was my grandmas.Joei said she got her first pair of bowling shoes when she was in high school. She has bowling with three leagues and also taking part in pro-bowling tournaments in Toledo.Ive had eight active balls, Joei said. When Im done, I usually retire them.On the day she bowled her per-fect score, Joei admits she was not expecting this to happen.Ive had one time when I was bowling in Lima and came close, she said. That time everyone watched as I bowled. It was very nerve-wracking.Joei said this time no one really stopped talking to make her the center of attention.Id been bowling a 265 for four weeks, she said. My first thought was I was going to bowl a 280 and disappoint my mom, Dani. The former high score for a woman at Ottawa Highland Lanes was a 288 bowled by Patti McInally. After she bowled the 300 Joei called her dad James. He didnt believe me at first, she said. Her boyfriend, Derek Sey-ert, who was with her father, was excited and exclaimed I told you she would do it.Joei said she most enjoys bowl-ing because of the social time. And its not just getting to see my team members, said Joei. I also enjoy seeing members of other teams, She spoke of some older team members such as Vinces TV team ladies.Some of my friends I get to see remind me of my grandmother, Joei said. She has already started teaching her three year old son how to bowl.At first he learned by pushing the ball down the alley, Joei said. Now hes learning to use his fingers in the holes.Joei said she appreciates all the support she has been given by her family, team members, other bowl-ers and Randy Schroeder, who owns Ottawa Highland Lanes.Trying to figure out how she was able to bowl the perfect score, Joei said it had to do with the date. It was on 2-21-2012 you know, she said. I think its some type of com-bination of birthdays of relatives.Joei said she doesnt know if any Putnam County woman ever scored a perfect 300 while bowling outside of Putnam County, but admitted to being surprised to be the first woman to do it in the county.BIRTHDAYBlood drive support appreciatedA perfect day for Ottawa woman ABOUT THE VOICEThe Putnam Voice is a free weekly newspaper covering Putnam County.

We would like to thank the Ottawa VFW for hosting the blood drive and the Diapers to Diamonds Mothers Club for supplying cookies. We would also like to thank those who helped to advertise the drive and the donor callers as well as those who helped at the drive that day. We would like to recognize Ruth Foppe for reaching the 12 gallon mark, Cindy Utrup for 8 gallons, Ken Duling for5 gallons, Dean Schroeder for 2 gallons, and Julie Ellerbrock for being a first time donor. Patients need blood for cancer care, surgeries and the treatment of serious disease and trauma. As the need for blood increases so does our need for donors.
