Fort Jennings students give thanks to veterans

Enjoying the season, whenever it starts

For those of you hoping the Where in the World in Putnam County would start this week, I apologize. I took a few days vacation last week and underestimated the time it would take to catch up. I didnt get it done. I will start on it this week though. I promise. On a lighter note, I did enjoy my vacation. When people asked what I did I like to say I ate out, shopped and slept a lot. I highly recommend this type of vacation. I dont recommend taking a small camper out in the high winds we had a few days last week. I kept having visions of my husband and I rolling down the road in our camper and people wondering what it was they were seeing flying past. I guess I could say the wind really did rock me to sleep. I even started a little Christmas shopping while on vacation-. I cant decide how I feel about the Christmas music in the stores. On one hand it seems a little early to be playing Christmas music when we havent even stuffed and eaten the Thanksgiving turkey. On the other hand, I have to admit, hearing the Christmas music puts me in a really good mood. I love the Christmas season and really dont mind hearing the music a few weeks longer. Fortunately, we were able to stay in the same location and have an enjoyable time. On another note, is it just me, or does it seem like every time they have an important meeting regarding the Blanchard River flood mitigation in Ottawa that it rains. It happened again yesterday. It poured and the crowd could hear it. Its always a reminder that the flooding is still a threat in this area and we need to continue to move forward on an affordable, livable solution.
Fort Jennings second-grader Gavin Schimmoeller gives a thank you hug to Korean War veteran, Norman Schimmoeller.
FORT JENNINGS Weve never been publicly recognized, outside the Legion. That was the sentiment of several of the veterans who were recognized at Fort Jennings Local School on Friday, November 11. The idea for the student-initiated event began when 17 Ft. Jennings young people attended the second annual Putnam County High School Leadership Day in Lima on September 16. During the training, students were encouraged to plan a service project to benefit their community. The Ft. Jennings Leadership Team, lead by seniors Aaron Schnipke and Kelsey Von Lehmden, decided to honor their veterans, something that had not been done before. The team obtained names of area veterans from the local American Legion post. An invitation was sent to 22 veterans; 20 participated in the event. The veterans enjoyed lunch at the school, which was paid for by the Ft. Jennings Student Council. At the conclusion of the meal, a photo collage of the Vietnam Traveling Memorial Wall was raffled. Student Austin Kehres family donated the framed collection. The veterans, the entire student body, grades K-12, and staff then congregated in the gymnasium for a ceremony. The schools band played The National Anthem. A hush came over the gymnasium as the veterans introduced themselves. Each gentleman told their name, division, where he served and the number of years served. After each introduction, a member of the Leadership Team presented the veterans with medals that were made by Morgan Ricker and Sara Miller that simply said, Thank you. Elementary children had made thank you cards; a pair of youngsters gave several cards to each veteran. Veteran Joe Pequignot provided a brief history lesson to the students about the Korean War and the Cold War.

Fort Jennings Elementary students presented each veteran with cards that were made by the elementary students. At the conclusion of the ceremony, the students gave the veterans a standing ovation. The veterans were touched by the students displays of gratitude. Tears welled in the eyes of several of the veterans, who in turn gave the students a standing ovation for arranging the event. Von Lehmden vocalized that the students were grateful to the veterans for the sacrifices they had made, and the freedoms we enjoy. Because of those freedoms, she summized, technology has become readily available in schools. The Leadership Team organized classroom tours for the veterans to show off the programs. In Ms. Sellmans room, Kristen Maag demonstrated the schools interactive program, Moodle. She explained that students can take work home, get notes and turn in homework through the site. One of the veterans teased, We didnt take notes in our day. Another joked, You cant say, The dog ate my homework anymore! The gentlemen were amazed and a little in awe of the technology. However, Paul Baumgarte was very interested in Moodle. He related that after his service, he was employed at IBM. He recalled the first computers with which he worked had 12,500 tubes, a far cry from todays compact models. He said he currently is on the Internet about two hours a day, learning about Civil War battles.
Fort Jennings students gave a tour of their school to the veterans.
The students and the veterans alike found the day to be mutually rewarding and a great learning experience. Todd Hoehn, Dean of Students and co-advisor for the Leadership Team, spoke of the noble act by the students in arranging the event; the veterans were in complete agreement. Thank you, again, to the Ft. Jennings Leadership Team and to all our veterans!
Pandora-Gilboa students honor veterans

Pandora-Gilboa Schools held its annual Veterans Day program on Friday, Nov. 11. The program included patriotic songs sung by first-, second-, third- and fourth-graders. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by the kindergarten class and signed by the American sign language class. The color guard was provided by members of the Pandora and Gilboa posts of the American Legion. Fourteen local veterans were in attendance and were recognized for their service to our country.

Allen brothers train for death race

By KIM KINCAID

OTTAWA While most of us are planning our strategy for attacking the Thanksgiving turkey, former Columbus Grove residents Jason and Rob Allen are looking far beyond this holiday as they train for a Spartan Death Race in which they will participate next June in Vermont. The sons of Mike and Marilyn Allen of Columbus Grove, the two have entered this physical and mentally challenging race, designed to instill determination and test creativity and flexibility. The real challenge to us is that that neither of us have ever NOT completed a race we entered. The finishing rate on this race is 10 percent, so we figure we have our work cut out for us. But, thats the challenge of the Spartan Death Race, said Jason Allen. Both Allens have entered marathons and a variety of races in the past, but the Spartan Death Race is different from anything either have ever tried. This one tests mental as well as physical skills, Jason said. The race takes place on a 700acre farm in Vermont. Participants face both mental and physical challenges in the race, which could take anywhere from 12 to 72 hours to complete. As Joe DeSena, creator of the Death Race explained, he arranges some mental gymnastics along the way to keep things interesting. In the past, participants have had to memorize a list of presidents, design a LEGO structure on paper and then build it, after hiking down a mountain. On the physical side of the challenge, theyve had to crawl under a barbed wire fence, climb a vertical point 2,000 feet high, carry a bicycle, split a tree stump or dive into a

In the 2009 event, participants started the race at 4 a.m. by crawling under barbed wire to a field where they would find their racing bibs attached to a tree stump. To get their bibs, they had to dig the stump out of the ground and bring it back with them. Before the first day ended, they had to climb up a waterfall with a bucket filled with rocks, scale a hill while carrying a wheel-less bicycle frame, quarter 20 logs with an ax, and find an egg hidden in the woods and boil it in a tin cup using a match they retrieved from another station in the race. Only 10 percent of the participants are expected to finish the race. As DeSena notes, participants should consider this race only if theyve lived a full life to this date. The Allen brothers are asking people to help them by donating three minutes of their time to a non-profit organization for every hour the guys remain in the race. Their goal is to earn 100 hours of volunteer service for their efforts. Jason Allen and his wife Julie live in Charlotte, North Carolina, with their three children. Rob Allen and his wife Jill live in Lancaster, with their five children.

According to Klear, between November 1, 2010 and November 1, 2011, Putnam County had six traffic fatalities. Of those, three were alcohol related. As the holidays approach, the Safe Communities Coalition reminds residents that local law enforcement will be out in force this Thanksgiving season to arrest anyone caught driving drunk behind the wheel. The message is simple, Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over. Drinking alcohol and driving do not mix. If you plan to consume alcohol, you should also plan not to get behind the wheel of a vehicle or ride a motorcycle, said Klear. Unfortunately millions of drivers on Americas highways still think they are invincible, and they choose to jeopardize their safety and the safety of others on our roads, he said. The Putnam County Safe Communites Coalition recommends these simple tips for a safe Thanksgiving: Plan a safe way home before the festivities begin; Before drinking, designate a sober driver and leave your car keys at home; If you are impaired, use a taxi, call a sober friend or family member; Always wear your seatbelt when in a motor vehicle; If you happen to see a drunk driver on the road, dont hesitate to contact your local law enforcement; and Remember, Drive Sober Or Get Pulled Over. If you know someone who is about to drive while impaired, take that persons keys and help him or her make other arrangements to get home safely.

Leipsic wins double-overtime thriller

By MARK ALTSTAETTER TIFFIN The regular-season meeting between Leipsic and McComb was a game that got out of hand. Leipsic took control in the second half and pulled away for a convincing 48-20 victory. But, that was three weeks ago. Like the old saying goes, its a new season once the playoffs begin. In Saturdays Division VI, Region 22 game at Tiffin, it played out a little differently than a few weeks ago. It took two overtimes on Saturday before Leipsic finally put the game away, winning on a 1-yard plunge by running back Brady Schroeder, giving the Vikings a thrilling 34-28 victory. With the win, Leipsic (111) will take on Delphos St. Johns next Saturday at a site to be determined later today. McComb running back/ quarterback Jerry Brown led the Panthers with 204 rushing yards on 32 carries and three touchdowns. Most of Browns rushes came out of the Wildcat formation. Leipsic coach Joe Kirkendall said McComb (8-4) came out with a solid game plan. They just decided to let everything run through No. 23 (Brown), Kirkendall said. I think he might have been a little banged up in the last game. But, tonight they gave him the ball a lot. Brady Schroeder led Leipsic with 118 yards rushing on 36 carries and three TDs. For the game, Leipsic had 250 yards of total offense. McComb ended the night with 343 yards. Kirkendall praised the way his team played in the second half. We knew it was important to start out the second half strong, Kirkendall said. Last time we got out strong
Father vs son coaching in Kalida hoops game

KALIDA - On Friday, November 25th (the Friday after Thanksgiving) Kalida High School will be hosting an Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA) Foundation Basketball game between the Columbus Bishop Hartley Hawks and the Kalida High School Wildcats. This game will bring back former Kalida High School and University of Findlay Basketball star Randy Kortokrax to coach against his father, Richard Kortokrax, the winningest coach in Ohio High School Basketball history. The Hawks of Bishop Hartley were State Semi Finalists last year in Division II and return almost the entire team that compiled a 25-2 record. The Kalida Wildcats are coming off of a 17-5 record last year, and are looking forward to a great 2011-12 season. An OSHAA Foundation Game is played like any other Basketball game, however, it is not considered part of the regular Basketball season record. The idea of a Foundation game is to raise money for a local cause. All proceeds from this game will be donated to the New Kalida Park. The Junior Varsity game will start at 6 p.m., with the Varsity contest to follow. Since this is an OHSAA Foundation Game, Season Tickets and/or passes are not valid at this game. Admission to the game is $6 for adults and $4 for students. As mentioned, 100% of the proceeds of this game will be donated to the New Kalida Park. Please come out on November 25th as the Columbus Bishop Hartley Hawks, coached by Randy Kortokrax, take on the Kalida Wildcats under the direction of Richard Kortokrax. What a great way to kick off the 2011-12 Basketball season.

Rosary Altar learns about revisions in Mass

OTTAWA SS. Peter and Paul Rosary Altar Society met Nov. 8 in the school cafeteria where the organization hosted a brief video presentation about the revisions of the English language for the Mass. Father Matt Jozefiak also offered additional explanation and answered concerns. During the business portion of the meeting, plans for the parish St. Nicholas Day celebration were finalized, and the celebration will be held after the 10:00 a.m. mass on Sunday, Dec. 4. The 10:00 a.m. Mass on Sunday, November 13 will honor police, firemen, military and EMS members. New Creation Lutheran Church will host the local ecumenical Thanksgiving service on Tuesday, Nov. 22 at 7:30 p.m. On Monday, Nov. 28, a Pro-Life Action Fundraiser and information night will be held at OGHS cafeteria at 7:00 p.m. Guest speakers will be present, and more information can be found at www.HeartbeatBill.com and www. OhioProLifeAction.com. Friendly Visitor Kathy Brinkman plans to begin a Reassurance Program that will establish contact with elderly or disabled parishioners who reside in their own homes. Anyone interested in the program is welcome to contact Kathy. Rosary Altar members will help contact parishioners to donate desserts for meals after funeral masses. Rosary Altar also made a monetary donation to help supply desserts. Rural Life Chair Kate Wischmeyer stated that small articles need to be recycled as well as larger items. She also asked for prayers for good weather for farmers to harvest. The Epiphany will be celebrated with coffee and donuts after the Sunday masses on January 8. A prayer service is planned and a small home blessing kit will be available for parishioners to take with them. Donations will be accepted. Next November, Rosary Altar will provide refreshments after the memorial mass. Darlene Schroeders name was chosen for the monthly drawing, but she was not in attendance so no prize was given. The next meeting will be held Tuesday, February 14 when a presentation on Guatemala will be given.

New Creation to host community Thanksgiving worship

OTTAWA Once again, the collective faith communities of the Ottawa Church Council will be gathering together for a special Thanksgiving Eve worship on Tuesday, Nov. 22, at 7:30 p.m. at New Creation Lutheran Church, Ottawa. Joining Pastor Ken Pollitz and the people of New Creation for this celebrative worship will be Pastor Marshall Metzger and the Ottawa Missionary Church, Pastor Lynda Lockwood and the Trinity United Methodist Church, Fathers Matt Jozefiak and Alfons Minja and SS. Peter and Paul Parish, and Father Tony Fortman and St. John the Baptist Parish. The guest preacher for the evening worship will be Pastor Steve Elderbrock joined with the congregation of the Ottawa Presbyterian Church. All are welcome to this joint community worship as we come together to give thanks to God as the faith communities of Ottawa and Glandorf. Worship will include lots of music and songs of thanksgiving along with an inspiration message from Pastor Elderbrock. Two offerings will be taken that evening. During worship, a financial offering will be taken and will go to help support the much valued ministry of the Salvation Army here in Ottawa that helps to provide relief to those experiencing economic difficulties. An in-kind offering of food will also be taken to help stock the shelves of the Ottawa Food Pantry. People are invited to help out the Food Pantry, if they are able, by bringing and dropping off any of the following: canned fruit, peanut butter and jelly, spaghetti sauce, canned soup, personal care items and beverages (such as juice, coffee, tea, hot chocolate). Trinity United Methodist Church facilitates both the Salvation Army and the Ottawa Food Pantry. New Creation Church is located on the eastern edge of Ottawa at 8127 E Main Street; and if people have more questions, may be reached by calling 419-523-6250.

Ottawa Elementary School demolition nears completion

OTTAWA Demolition at Ottawa Elementary School began last week. Ottawa-Glandorf Superintendent Kevin Brinkman said the demolition is being done by Green Trac LLC, out of Illinois. They are tearing down and taking out everything except the gymnasium, Brinkman said. Were even taking out the old portables and the asphalt. The Ottawa-Glandorf school board is leasing the gym to SS. Peter and Paul School for activities. Former teacher Cindy Lichtle said it is hard seeing the building being torn down. She retired at the end of the 2010-2011 school year after teaching third grade in the school for 35 years. The demolition of Ottawa Elementary and retiring from teaching there after 35 years are alike because both are bittersweet,
The facade of the Ottawa Elementary School is seen as a piece of how it once stood as wrecking crews tear down the 1951 structure. Lichtle said. Both had come to a time when they needed to come to an end. The special memories and the blessing of having wonderful students from Ottawa Elementary will always be priceless. The school was built in 1951 with an addition to the back constructed in 1986, Brinkman said. The cost of demolition is part of the Ohio School Facilities Commission project. Its the same as the construction, he said. The state share is 49 percent and the local share of the demolition cost is 51 percent. The construction of the new Ottawa and Glandorf elementary buildings was phase II of the Ottawa-Glandorf project. Phase I was the renovation and addition of the high school. Dedication of the new Ottawa Elementary building on Putnam Parkway was held in August.
