Not just for summer

A family-owned and oper-ated business, Swiss Country Lawn and Crafts has a variety of patio and lawn furniture, play sets and indoor home decorating accessories for shoppers of all kinds to peruse.

Started in 1989 at the home of Dwight and Mabel Mast, the business has grown exponen-tially, and moved to the current location at 2131 state Route 39, Sugarcreek, in 1995.

“We started with just a few pieces of lawn furniture in the front yard,” said Dwight Mast, adding since moving the busi-ness has grown to include a variety of outdoor and indoor items for the home.

“We offer a large collection of the area’s finest Amish-made lawn furniture, gazebos, swing sets, and lawn ornaments to beautify outdoor living areas. The gift shop is full of coun-try crafts, home décor, candles and rhythm clocks,” according to the website, www.swisscoun-trylawn.com, through which

they also sell select merchan-dise.

“We offer wood and poly lawn and patio furniture and picnic tables. Our main build-er is LuxCraft,” said Mast, explaining the LuxCraft brand is manufactured by a local Amishman who builds a “very quality product.”

“I feel like it’s one of the best. He does very quality furniture and we’ve been selling it since about 1990,” Mast said.

Also available for purchase are a variety of Playmor kids play sets, with free local deliv-ery within 25 miles.

Expansion to include the home décor products came with the move and as a means to make the business profitable for the family year-round, said Mast, who gave up his job in construc-tion at the time of the move.

“When we expanded, lawn and patio furniture was very seasonal, April to late July. We added the crafts to compen-sate. As of this year, in the past

and Crafts to help business in the off season. Although outdoor furniture is in demand year round, the home products, including candles, art and rhythm clocks, are also a popular draw.

years even, it isn’t as much that way. People buy lawn furniture even after the season is past,” Mast said.

Among the top sellers are battery-operated can-dles with timers, rhythm clocks and resin bowls.

A rhythm clock is a “motion clock,” said Mast, explaining it opens and plays music — Christmas, classical, hymns. “They’re very precisely manufac-tured.”

The resin bowls, crafted to look like wood, come in a variety of sizes and often are used in home decorating. “They’re done very well. It’s not a cheap product,” he said.

They also offer tra-ditional wick candles, seasonal décor and cus-tomized gift sets, which can be made to include

homemade potpourri and a candle.

Mast said he takes pride in knowing that the busi-ness has many repeat customers. He said they focus on customer service and try to satisfy every customers’ need. The business is staffed by not

only he and his wife, but their five children and four other employees. “We give a lot of credit to our employees. They do a super job.”

CommnityWinter — the season for a more leisurely existence

“There is a privacy about it which no other season gives you.... In spring, summer and fall people sort of have an open season on each other; only in the winter, in the country, can you have longer, quiet stretch-es when you can savor belonging to yourself.” — Ruth Stout

I know I’m in the minority here and will probably be lynched, but I actually kinda like Win-ter. True that I sometimes feel blue in the midst of yet another gloomy day, but most days I love it.

I like the seclusion of Winter; I love the pris-tine cold stillness on the pine trees in my yard right after a snowfall. I love the feel of the snow crunching under my feet as I romp with my dogs across our white yard.

Winter affords me quiet contemplation, a time when I can curl up with a cup of vanilla chai, my laptop, and my dogs. I can connect with my own thoughts.

I see Winter as the per-fect time to slow down and ease the hurried

pace of modern life. Win-ter is Mother Nature’s way of telling us it’s time for a break, time for us to be still and listen to our minds, time to back off our rat-race lives and assume a more leisurely existence.

Even the animals have programmed into their DNA to slow down, or in some cases even STOP entirely, in the Winter. They stock up, pad their nests, and hunker down for the duration of the chillier weather.

I, too, like to hibernate in Winter. I come home from school, perhaps with a stack of papers to grade; I will make a cup of chai or hot chocolate, put some soup on the stove to steam up the windows, pull on my favorite sweats, and my comfy slippers and curl on the couch with a pen and my gradebook. And when the grading is done,

it’s just me and a book, or a family gathering around a jigsaw puzzle or board game.

Even the dogs hunker down in Winter. They ease in and out of the door instead of bursting through with the energy of toddlers on caffeine. Salem loves to lounge on the deck in the cooler weather and spends hours gazing at the new-fallen snow on our unblemished lawn. They, too, will scrape at their favorite blankets until they are in just the right position, before stretch-ing out with contented sighs and comfortable “oomphs” near my feet.

While I will admit that with age my bones are not as thrilled by Winter as my mind is, and I hate driving in snow, my spirit cherishes the slower pace and solitude it affords.

If only we could train ourselves to always live within the slower pace afforded by Winter, I imagine our lives would be much less stressful and filled with the mod-ern “diseases” that claim far too many lives too soon.

Many of us might wonder what inspired those struggling Pilgrims to have a celebration at all.

They did have the power of faith and prayer. Through calamities, their spirits were made strong. Despite the difficulties, they had survived. Certainly then, whatever our situation, we all have reason to celebrate the strength we receive from our Heavenly Father. We can enter His house with great thanksgiving this week.

Christmas in the Country

A night filled with Christmas music and tra-dition, Christmas in the Country is a performance expected to wow locals and tourists, young and old.

The special one-night-only program, is to be held Dec. 1, at 6 p.m, at the Amish Country The-ater. Adult tickets are $10 if purchased in advance and $12 at the door. Tick-ets for children, ages 11 and under, are $8.

The two-hour long pro-

gram will feature music from local celebrity artist John Schmid.

Schmid, who has a voice similar to that of Johnny

Cash, delivers a Christ-mas program featuring different Christmas tra-ditions and carols, said Amish County Theater co-owner Jeff Conn. His act will be supplemented by performances by Salt Creek Bluegrass, the Amish Country Theater Barbershop Quartet and

the Hiland Varsity Sing-ers, members of which will perform some of the group’s concert pieces and lead a carol sing-a-long.

“Come enjoy the nar-rative of the rich his-tory of Christmas carols and learn about Amish Christmas traditions. John Schmid’s music will take you on a journey from the origination of Christmas traditions, to the music that we love and enjoy today. The evening is guaranteed to entertain, and leave you with a new appre-ciation for the songs and traditions of Christmas,” according to the venue’s website, www.amishcoun-trytheater.com.

“It’s a great opportunity for local families,” Conn

said. “As December rolls around and we kick off the Christmas season, we programmed the night to be a very affordable night out. From teenager to retiree, if they enjoy Christmas music, it’s a fun night for them.”

The Amish Country Theater is located at 3149 state Route 39, Walnut Creek, and opened May 2012, with weekly shows offered through Nov. 9. Inspired by the shows of Pigeon Forge, Tenn., it features family comedy variety designed to enter-tain the whole family.

The shows include live

music, hilarious actors, magicians, clean fam-ily comedians and home-made concessions, sou-venirs and a spectacular view of the Amish coun-tryside.

The Amish Country Theater features an air-conditioned, fully reno-vated, 325-seat auditori-um designed to replicate an Amish barn and barn-yard, but with state-of-the-art sound and light-ing. The “Hee Haw” style show lasts about 1 hour, 45 minutes, including a 10-minute intermission.

The incidental birder: Far more luck than skillI was dressed to ride and

headed toward the door for my morning bicycle com-mute to Millersburg when I stopped for a moment to hash-out the after-work plan with my wife.

“OK, so who will be picking Sylvia up after swim team?” I said.

Kristin replied, “Well, I need to run up town to ...”

Her voice vaporized as I lapsed into a stare so intense and solid she could have gone on to say she was about to drain our savings account to fly to London to see the Rolling Stones in concert and I would have never known until she arrived home a week later wear-ing the T-shirt. I was on point, locked like a span-iel, my eyes focused on a red, black and white dot in a Hemlock tree two houses away.

“I don’t believe it,” I whispered breathlessly. “They’re back!”

“What? Where? Who is back?” she said. “What the heck is wrong with you?”

I bolted from the room to grab my “big” camera — the one I always wish

I had when I see really, really cool things very, very far away.

“The White-winged Crossbills!” I cried sprinting for the door. “They’re back!”

I can’t really explain how, even as I wade knee-deep into middle age, I can still spot a bird the size of a shot glass in a tree half-way across the neighborhood. This while at the same time I can’t seem to bring a newspa-per into focus anywhere within arm’s reach of my eyes. I’m thankful it’s not the other way around! I’ve had an eye on the sky most all of my life — a habit hatched while I was still in buckle boots tagging along through the swamps with my older brother. The skill is fully-fledged after decades in a duck boat. Nothing in the

sky gets past me. I missed the snapshot

of the Crossbills by the way. Every dog in the neighborhood started yapping at the spectacle of a helmeted man in Spandex sneaking about the backyards with a giant camera. The Cross-bills caught a brisk wind and went on their way.

Even though I have a great interest in birds of all kinds and will drop what I’m doing in a heartbeat to watch one that I consider excep-tional or even interest-ing, I don’t know if I can really call myself an honest-to-goodness “birder” because I haven’t ever really set out to specifically find birds. (This is with the exception of ducks, of course, where “find-ing” them was always a necessary step in the effort to include them in a hardy stew.) I suppose I’d have to call myself an “incidental birder” because all of my bird sightings occur as a happy consequence to some other activity.

On that daily bicycle commute into Holmes County for instance there have been times when I’ve logged more species of birds in a single morning than I would have seen in an entire season of just going about my life in town.

Recently, just a few days after the switch back to Eastern Stan-dard Time — a wonder-ful, albeit short-lived moment on the fall cal-

endar when the sun actu-ally appears above the horizon before I arrive at work — I spied a flock of huge silhouettes circling and swirling in the pre-dawn half-light ahead. I raced up to find an Amish fellow I pass nearly every day stand-ing trailside taking in the spectacle. We watched together in stunned silence until the birds climbed high enough to

be lit to a brilliant white by the rising sun: Great Egrets! An entire flock!

Miraculously, some of the birds lit in a distant tree just long enough for me to snap a few grainy photos. Check them out on my Face-book page at JohnLor-sonSendHelp (And be sure to “like” me while you’re there!) There’s more feathered fun to come next week!

With a regular season that runs May-November, show are offered Thursday at 7 p.m., and Fridays and Satur-days at 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. In the first season, it attracted more than 8,000 guests.

“A lot of people com-pare it to Pigeon Forge and Branson, but it’s more affordable and as good or better. It’s got-ten rave reviews,” said Conn, who added, “I’ve seen a lot of people com-ing from out of state just to see it.”

He said he attributes

some of the popularity to the association with the old “Hee Haw”style of delivering live music and comedy. Next year, he said, they’re looking to add big-ger names to the set list.

“The type of comedy we do relates to locals, whether you live five minutes or five hours away. It’s right in your backyard, and it’s an affordable way to spend an evening with the family and have a lot of fun,” he said.

It’s also a big hit with tour groups, those assem-bled locally and from far-ther away, said, Conn, who said he’s already started booking tour groups for next season.

“The staff of Amish

Heartland Tours and Smile A While Tours from North Carolina enjoyed the grand opening show May 24, 2012,” according to La Vonne De Boise of Amish Heartland Tours in Berlin. “It was so good to have our local community pro-vide an evening of whole-some entertainment and laughter. Great job to all.”

It also is enjoyed and promoted by Carol Gless-ner of Country Coach Adventures.

“I was expecting an eight and got a 20,” according to Glessner, who praised the excellent quartet, hilari-ous MCs and fabulous audience participation. “The skits were very well-

written, choreographed, and performed like they had been doing this for years. … The barn-like setting is so perfect, the view of the valley awe-some, and the seats, sound, lighting, etc., were all pro-fessionally done.

“I haven’t laughed like that in years, and I look forward to seeing it again and again,” said Glessner. “We have needed this venue in Amish Country, and this is a perfect way to provide that entertain-ment option, particularly for the tour groups.”

BarbwireGive thanks for the good — turn off the bad

Dairy people rise early in the morning and work all day, so when bedtime comes they “hit the hay” and usually fall asleep quickly. But sometimes, with thoughts and prob-lems running around in our minds like a freight train, sleep just doesn’t come. This was a prob-lem for me one recent evening, so I settled in my easy chair and turned on the television set in hopes of finding some-thing that would be unin-teresting enough to put me to sleep.

As I surfed the chan-nels, I tuned into the middle of a program on PBS. A young girl was traveling through Africa with a group, filming and talking about her travels. As I watched, the group approached a large hole in the ground. She explained it was a hand dug well. Down in the well, several men were dipping water with buckets, dumping it into a watering trough, chanting in unison as they dipped and dumped. When the trough was full, a group of cattle was turned loose and they raced to

the water. It was quite obvious they were very thirsty.

In the next scene, the girl was shown riding a bicycle down a dirt road, one of very few roads where it was safe to ride a bicycle, she said. The countryside was brown and dusty, dotted with what appeared to be weeds and brush. I won-dered what the cattle found to eat and survive on.

A group of men appeared, herding more cattle. I especially noticed one cow that was white with a lot of small black spots. She reminded me of a Shottle or a Coun-selor, but she was quite thin with not much rib. Suddenly several of the men grabbed one of the

cows by the head, legs, and tail, and threw her to the ground. The men slaughtered the cow and proceeded to devour her on the spot!

About this time, I decided there was no way watching this program was going to put me to sleep or lead to sweet dreams, and I turned it off. As I sat in the dark, I started thinking how fortunate we are in our lives and how thankful we should be.

This has been a very difficult year for farmers everywhere, and espe-cially in Ohio, dealing with the drought, failing crops, and high prices for feed, while getting low prices for milk. Yet we can walk to the kitchen sink, turn on a faucet, and

have clean, fresh water. Our cows can press their noses into a drinking cup or fountain, or walk to a watering trough and drink their fill at any time. If our wells go dry, there is machinery to drill them deeper or drill another well. Even if we have to haul water, we have pumps to pump it, tanks to hold it, and trucks to haul it. We have lakes, rivers, creeks, ponds, and wells to supply water. We don’t have to dig a hole in the ground and dip water with buckets. And even though our fields have looked like that brown, dusty land in Africa, we will be able to buy feed and hay for our cows and transport it to our farms.

On Thanksgiving Day we will sit down to a

clean dining room table filled with food and drink. Our meat will be cooked, our milk will be fresh and pure and deliciously cold. And there will be so much good food to eat that we will leave the table feeling stuffed and looking forward to con-suming leftovers for the next few days. How lucky we are!

Most of all, we will be sharing our good fortune and our holidays with family and friends. And although every family will have their share of problems to overcome, we are truly blessed to be living each day as we do. So remember to give thanks for the good and just “turn off” the bad. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

Farm briefSign-up for SURE Program under way

Steve Maurer, state exec-utive director for Ohio’s Farm Service Agency, announced the sign-up period for the 2011 crop year Supplemental Rev-enue Assistance Pay-ments (SURE) program has begun. “Any eligible producer who suffered losses during the 2011 crop year is encouraged to visit their local FSA office to learn more about the SURE program and how to apply,” said Maurer.

Under the 2008 Farm Bill, SURE authorizes assistance to farmers and producers who suffered crop losses caused by nat-ural disasters occurring through Sept. 30, 2011. All eligible farmers and pro-ducers must sign up for 2011 SURE benefits before the June 7, 2013 deadline.

To qualify for a SURE payment, the producer’s operation must be located in a county that was declared a disaster for 2011 and have at least a 10 percent pro-duction loss that affects one crop of economic signifi-cance. Producers with agri-cultural operations located outside a disaster county are eligible for SURE benefits if they had a production loss greater or equal to 50 per-cent of the normal produc-tion on the farm.

All of Ohio’s counties received a primary Secre-tarial Disaster Designation or contiguous Secretarial Disaster Designation dur-ing 2011. This means that all counties in Ohio can apply for SURE benefits as long as all other eligibil-ity requirements are met.

For more information on SURE program eligibil-ity requirements contact your local FSA office or visit the website at http://www.fsa.usda.gov/sure.

It was a good day for the Ohio Multi-Breed Fall SaleTake a crisp, bright,

sunny November day, combine it with a barn full of outstanding registered consignments, add a large crowd of dairy enthusi-asts, mix in a well known auctioneer, sprinkle with a few ringmen, and you have the recipe for a suc-cessful Ohio Multi-Breed Fall Sale held Saturday, Nov. 17, at the Wayne County Fairgrounds in Wooster.

The high selling Hol-stein at $5,700 was Lot 62, Family-Pro Milly 158, a Very Good 86 Windy-Knoll-View Rubens Pro daughter, recently fresh and milking 95 pounds a day.

The average was $2,597 on 63 live Holstein lots. Four Holstein Embryo lots averaged $1,438. Five consignments sold from $4,100 to $4,600 and nine more sold over $3,000.

The top selling Ayr-shire was Lot 8, Spring Run Blue Sky Dennie at $2,500. A two-year-old

daughter of Hawksfield Blue Sky, she had recent-ly calved, was consigned by Thomas Wolf, Shreve, and was purchased by Norbert Farms. The Ayr-shires averaged $1,307 on 15 lots.

Lot 20 was the high selling Brown Swiss at $1,600. Coco Charge Emma, a bred heifer due to calve in Febru-ary to Basic and sired by Little Hill Ladys Charge, was consigned by Alyssa Lautzenheiser, New Phil-adelphia, and purchased by Tammy Zimmerman, East Canton. The Brown Swiss averaged $1,475.

Milking Shorthorn Lot 22, Tres Colles Alben Dubbie, a winter calf consigned by Tres Colles

Farm, Chillicothe, sold for $1,200 and was purchased by Doug Fenton. She was a Tres Colles Roco Alben daughter. Milking Short-horns averaged $1,150.

The high selling Jer-sey at $1.600 was Lot 24, J-Kay Justice Elisha, a recently fresh three-year-old, sired by Janes

Primetime Justice. She was purchased by Rich-ard Bardall, Tippecanoe, and was consigned by Ericka Graves and Jacob Morgan, Urbana. Jerseys averaged $1,300.

The sale was managed by the Ohio Holstein Association and the Ohio Ayrshire Breeders Asso-

ciation. Auctioneer was Steve Andrews, Wooster, with Ted Renner and Duane Rader reading the pedigrees. Ringmen were Don Alexander, Ran-dall Kiko, Lynn Nuenen-schwander, Ken Janes and Paul Haskins. Cattle sold to Ohio, Indiana, and Pennsylvania.

Millersburg OKs circus location

Council prepared on Monday to allow the Kelly Miller Circus to use village property in May.

Village Administrator Nate Troyer discussed several locations for the group to hold the circus, finally settling on Old Airport Park.

The circus will be held May 24.

According to the Kelly Miller Circus website, the show travels on a fleet of 25 vehicles and requires an area of about 90,000 square feet. The show includes exotic animals, theatrical lighting, circus music, aerial acts, clowns, juggling and other per-formances, all under the big circus top tent, which seats 1,500 people.

If the circus is to use the park, it will need provi-sions for water hookups, manure and trash.

“We have a couple of options (for the manure),” said Troyer. “We can have it all put in Dumpsters ... or keep the manure and open it up to anyone who wants it. (The Kelly Mill-er Circus) said in other

towns, a lot of people come in and get it.”

In addition, Kimble Companies provides Dumpster services for up to six events a year in the

7-9 p.m., with refreshments served in the new Castle Club, which is adjacent to the Victorian House. The entire campus will be open that night free to the public.

In keeping with recent tradition, the third-floor ballroom will feature a special collection — this year, Nussbaum’s menag-erie of about 350 clowns.

Nussbaum’s interest in clowns was sparked after a 1984 trip to Peru, which led him to Clown Ministry, vis-iting hospital patients and teaching preschool chil-dren. He started a small clown collection, which brought just a little flavor to his Christmas tree.

But, then something hap-pened. “Soon I received clown gifts, personally collected others over the ensuing years, and now there are over 300 of them — tree decorations, large ‘soft’ clowns, hang-ing clowns and standing ones that fill my Nativity scene,” according to Nuss-baum.

When asked why the marriage between clowns and Christmas, Nussbaum points to a Medieval leg-end in which a juggler is said to have visited the Nativity statues in a cathedral. Empty-handed, with no gift to bear, the performer decided to jug-gle for the Holy Family, according to Nussbaum, who said the jugglers’ actions prompted the stat-ues to come to life.

Noting the similarities between that story and that of the “Little Drummer Boy” of modern caroling fame, Nussbaum came to his own conclusion about the clowns. “Jugglers lea to medieval court jesters, led to modern day clowns in many cultures.”

In displaying the clowns, he places them around Nativities, eight of which he has collected from around the world, allow-ing each of the characters to bring a gift of juggling, jumping, tumbling and music making to Mary, Joseph and the Baby Jesus.

“The clowns still come to the crib because it is for us the symbol of life,” said Nussbaum. “There are even three travel-ing Emmet Kelly clowns ‘coming from the East’ like the three Magi.”

“Clowns are very sym-bolic for us, embodying our deepest emotions and humanity — joy, fear, strength, weakness, laugh-ter. They call to us and remind us of the best and worst of ourselves, which, in the end, is all that we have to bring to Christmas,” according to Nussbaum.

Nussbaum’s Nativities have come from around the world — Peru, China, Mexico, Germany and Chile. His clowns come in a variety of styles — cloth, wooden, resin, glass, metal.

He said he looks for them wherever he goes, although finding them has gotten more challenging over the years. This year’s collection features 35 new clowns, the consequence of a chance finding of a “treasure trove” at ’Tis the Season in Berlin.

His favorite is a hanging jester in a box, which, sim-ilar to a Jack-in-the-box, represents for him an ele-ment of surprise.

He looks forward to shar-ing his collection with oth-ers in an effort to bring about a better understand-ing of the interconnected-ness of the characters and the holy day.

Holiday hours are Mon-day-Thursday, 1-4 p.m.; and Friday-Sunday, 1-8 p.m. Admission for self-guided tours is $8 for adults and $7 for senior citizens 65 and older. Combination tickets, to include a tour of the recently relocated Millersburg Glass Muse-um, can be purchased for a total cost of $10.

For more information about the Victorian House, Holidays at the Mansion, or the clown exhibit, call Boley at 330-674-0022.

contract with the village. Currently, the village only uses the Dumpsters for one event.

Council can incorporate water, manure and trash into a rental fee or charge for the services individu-ally, said Troyer.

In the past, municipali-ties have often charged the circus $500 per event.

“I think it’s good for the community to have events like this,” said Councilman Jim Beechy.

Anyone interested in using the manure can contact Troyer at 330-674-1886.

Fatal Holmes crash still under investigationDeputies are inves-

tigating the death of a 32-year-old Baltic woman who was involved in a single-vehicle crash late Monday or early Tuesday.

Melissa S. Lawson, 206 N. Ray St., Apt. 1, was transported to Pomerene Hospital in Millersburg by a Holmes Fire Dis-

trict No. 1 squad, where she was pronounced dead by Coroner Dr. Robert Anthony, according to a press release issued by the Holmes County Sher-iff’s Office.

The crash occurred on County Road 19, just west of the intersection with Mechanic Township Road 112, according to the release, which notes the investigation suggests

Lawson was driving her 1996 Pontiac eastbound on County Road 19 when she failed to negotiate a curve to the right. Lawson’s vehi-cle went off the left side of the road, where it struck a fence before coming to rest in a small creek.

“It appears Lawson may have been ejected from the vehicle when the driver’s side door opened. Lawson was found on the

ground next to the vehi-cle by a passerby who called 9-1-1,” according to the release.

The call was received by Holmes County dispatch around midnight, said Chief Deputy Nathan Fritz. It did not appear as though Lawson was wearing a seat belt.

Fritz also said the crash report indicates there is no evidence of braking.

Lawson’s body was taken to the Stark Coun-ty Coroner’s Office for an autopsy. Injuries received as a result of the crash did not appear life threaten-ing, however, any internal injuries or pre-existing health conditions are unknown at this time, according to the release.

Alcohol appears to be a factor in the crash; drug use is unknown at this

time, pending toxicol-ogy and autopsy reports, according to the release, which notes Lawson’s esti-mated speed at the time of the crash was between 20 and 28 mph. The speed limit on the road is 55 mph.

Millersburg grateful for income tax passageCouncil said thank you

Monday to several peo-ple who made the pas-sage of the income tax

increase possible.After more than

30 years without an income tax increase, voters approved an increase on Nov. 6 from 1 percent to 1.5 percent after two previously failed attempts.

“I personally would like to thank the resi-dents of the village of Millersburg for coming out ... and supporting us in the passage of the half percent income tax increase,” said Mayor Jeff Huebner, who also thanked the income tax committee — made up of Wayne McDow-ell, Mike Taylor, Arlie Rodhe, Brent and Jenny Hofstetter, Elmer Brown and Kelly Hof-fee — for spearheading the effort to pass the measure.

“This group of residents did a great deal to get the message out about this and how important it was to get it passed. I can’t thank them enough for the job that they have done,” said Huebner.

In recognition of Vet-erans Day, council also gave thanks to those who serve.

“We’d like to thank the veterans for serv-ing the country and allowing us the free-dom to go out and vote the way we did,” Hueb-ner said.

As previously stated, council began the pro-cess of repealing the $15 fee on all licensed motor vehicles in the village, which goes into effect Jan. 1.

“One thing that we have always stated is

that we would repeal any and all fees that were implemented by this council,” said Hueb-ner. “We have stated all along that we would repeal and we intend to follow through on that promise.”

The fee will be repealed in January 2014.

“The state will not allow us to repeal (the license plate fee) mid-year,” Huebner said. “Once the paperwork is signed, we submit it to the state and (the repeal) will be effective Jan. 14, 2014.”

Village solicitor Bob Hines will begin drafting legislation.

She is giving thanks where thanks is dueWhen it comes right

down to it, I’m truly thankful for the life I have. I have my husband, my children, my parents and in-laws, and I’m still blessed to have grandpar-ents in my life. We have a lovely home that we keep warm in the winter, food to fill our bellies, and a solid feeling of comfort in our community.

I also am blessed with a wonderful and diverse group of friends that keep me forever think-ing, on my toes, and on good days, doubled over in pain from laughing so hard. Erma Bombeck said that, “If you can’t make it better, you can laugh at it.” I like to think that a smile can go a long way and is truly a gift that keeps on giving.

With that, I provide a different sort of list for this holiday of being thankful, something with a little more zing to help you laugh off a few calories, so go ahead and take that extra ladle of gravy; I know I sure will.

It’s the little things in life that sadly go unnoticed that truly bring happiness if we just take the time to give them the recognition they deserve. So without further adieu, here are some things that some friends and I think are worth being thankful for:

I am thankful when the dog throws up and it doesn’t soak into the carpet.

I am thankful when fast food restaurants remem-ber to include a straw with my beverage order.

I am thankful when I get the first pour of a new pot of coffee instead of the bitter over-cooked stuff that has sat in the bottom of the pot for three hours.

I am thankful for Crock-Pots, and their ability to safely cook things on my counter so that we can come home after a long day to hot soup.

I am thankful for the extra roll of toilet paper that is always kept within reach. (I am not thank-ful for the inability of my children to actually replace the empty roll.)

I am thankful for the pharmacy drive-thru, not only so I don’t have to drag my sick kid into a store, but also so I don’t have $20 in impulse pur-chases while waiting for it to be filled.

I am thankful for adjustable waist pants in children’s clothes and for

each of my skinny kids.I am thankful for tooth-

paste, especially when

you get that one last squeeze out of the tube.

I am thankful for milk that is still drinkable after the expiration date.

I am thankful when I pull a tube of lip balm out of the dryer and find that it didn’t stain the entire load.

I am thankful when salami goes on sale.

I am thankful that in the winter months, I don’t have to shave my legs.

I am thankful for stretch denim. Genius, that one.

I am thankful for the extra french fries left in the bottom of the bag when you thought they were all gone.

I am thankful for the

whoopee cushion app on my phone because without it my mom and I would not have laughed so hard that we cried. (Immaturity is an over-looked virtue.)

I am thankful for cilan-tro. And DVR’s. And baby-sitters.

I am thankful for bowls of ice cream after my chil-

dren have gone to bed.But most of all, I am

thankful for the people in my life who are willing to let go and have fun. I think Erma would agree that we sometimes take life too seriously, so I’m glad I know folks who appreci-ate the opposite ... even if they eat a lot of salami and don’t shave their legs.

Non-GMO group meeting at Nature’s Food MarketHave you taken notice

of the increasing contro-versy regarding GMOs and the affect they may have on our health?

Would you like to learn more regarding these Genetically Modified Organisms?

The Non-GMO Group

is here to help answer your questions. Join them for their next freemeet-ing on Wednesday, Nov. 28, at 6 p.m., to be held at Nature’s Food Market.

They will be presenting a screening of the latest documentary from Jef-frey Smith called Genetic Roulette: The Gamble of Our Lives. Genetic Rou-lette covers everything from the basics, such as what aregenetically modi-fied organisms are and how they are genetically modified to the possible connection of GMOs to

allergies, autism, intestinal damage and birth defects.

Not only does Jeffrey Smith draw possible con-nections to the rise in these health concerns, but in this documentary he also gives us a solu-tion to help correct these problems!

There will be a ques-tion and answer session following the screening. Bring family and friends! If you eat, you need to watch this eye opening documentary!

Nature’s is located at 4727 U.S. 62, Berlin.

Asthma and allergy sufferers: Have a healthy holiday(BPT) — You might

think that by the time the holidays arrive, aller-gy season is long gone.

However, for millions of allergy sufferers, the real-ity is that allergens still abound. From pet dander

to volatile organic com-pounds, indoor allergens can cause discomfort and health issues as bother-some as when pollen is in season.

The holidays can be par-ticularly difficult, as we visit family and friends and welcome guests — and the allergens they bring with them — into our homes.

“The holidays can pres-ent a variety of chal-lenges for asthma and allergy patients,” says Dr. Cliff Bassett, an ambas-

sador for the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America. “Our environ-ment changes in many ways during the holidays, from having new people in our homes to bringing in potential irritants like pine trees and dusty old holiday decorations.”

AAFA offers some advice for helping mini-mize allergy and asthma triggers in your home this holiday season:

— Most people store holiday decorations in attics, basements or

garages and they can pick up dust, mold and other irritants while in stor-age. Thoroughly clean all stored decorations before using them in your home. If one or more of these irritants is a trigger for you, wear a mask while cleaning. When you’re done with the decora-tions this year, clean them again before you seal them in plastic bags and store them in airtight containers.

— If you or a loved one suffers from a tree or

pollen allergy, artificial trees can be a less irritat-ing substitute, provided you opt for one that’s not coated with sprayed-on “snow.” If you will be using a live tree, you can reduce mold problems by thoroughly wiping the trunk with a solution of lukewarm water and diluted bleach (one part bleach to 20 parts water). Before you bring the tree inside, use a leaf blower to remove pollen grains.

Palestinian farmers turn to organic farmingNUS JUBAIL, West

Bank — The Palestinian olive harvest, an ancient autumn ritual in the West Bank, is going upscale.

In an emerging back-to-the-land movement, Pal-estinian farmers are turn-ing the rocky hills of the West Bank into organic olive groves, selling their oil to high-end grocers in the U.S. and Europe.

The move is a reflec-tion of the growing global demand for natural, sus-tainable and fairly traded products, albeit with a distinct Palestinian twist. The hardships faced by local farmers, ranging from a lack of rainfall to Israeli trade obstacles,

mean that organic grow-ing is one of the few ways Palestinians have to com-pete in outside markets.

“The Palestinian future is in the land,” said farmer Khader Khader, 31, as he stood among his organic olives in the northern West Bank village of Nus Jubail.

Organic farming has grown into a thriving business, by Palestin-ian standards, since it first was introduced in the West Bank in 2004. Now, at least $5 million worth of organic olive oil is exported annually — about half of all Pal-estinian commercial oil exports, said Nasser Abu Farha of the Canaan Fair Trade Association, one of the companies that sells

high-end organic olive oil to distributors abroad.

The West Bank-based company purchases the oil at above market pric-es and pays what’s called a “social premium” — extra money to farming cooperatives to improve their communities.

About 930 farmers have fair-trade and organic cer-tification, while another 140 are “converting” their land — a two- to three-year process during which they stop using chemical fertilizers and pest con-trols while monitors from Canaan and the Pales-tine Fair Trade Associa-tion provide training and check soil for chemical levels.

Their work is overseen by the Swiss-based Insti-tute for Market Ecology, which is accredited to cer-tify organic products for the U.S., E.U., and Japan. Hundreds more farmers are simply certified as fair-trade, where they and their workers are paid decent wages for their work and produce.

The trade is tiny when compared to major olive growers like Spain, Italy and Greece. But it’s sig-nificant for Palestinians, for whom harvesting

olives is a cultural tradi-tion that gathers even the most urbanized families.

An average of 17,000 tons of olive oil is pro-duced in the West Bank every year by thousands of farmers, according to aid group Oxfam, which works on the olive indus-try. Most is for local or personal use, and only about 1,000 tons is exported a year, though that number is likely higher since many farm-ers sell oil informally through relatives abroad, Abu Farha said.

Organic farmers hope the high-end trade will keep them on their lands, despite difficult odds and high overhead costs.

Palestinians seek the West Bank as the heart-land of a future indepen-dent state. Most of the 2.5 million Palestinians in the West Bank live under a semi-autonomous gov-ernment. But Israel, which captured the West Bank in the 1967 Mid-east war, wields overall control. Roughly 500,000 Jewish settlers live in the West Bank and neighbor-ing east Jerusalem, taking away resources.

More than 120 Jewish settlements dot the West

Bank, often encroaching on Palestinian farmlands or preventing farmers from reaching their land. Israel’s separation bar-rier, built to prevent mili-tants from entering Israel, has swallowed nearly 10 percent of Palestinian farmland, according to U.N. estimates, limit-ing access and lowering yields.

Israel also controls more than 80 percent of the West Bank’s water in lop-sided sharing agreements, said Palestinian water official Ribhi al-Sheik. In other areas dilapidated water pipes have waste-ful leaks. Most farmers depend on rain and unli-censed wells, depleting already-stressed aquifers. In some parts, Israeli mili-tary authorities also ban rain-collecting cisterns. Badly planned Palestin-ian towns have paved over fertile lands.

Outside markets for fresh produce aren’t prof-itable. Goods must cross through Israeli-controlled export crossings, caus-ing delays and lowering quality through exposure to sunlight and constant reloading from one truck to another.

Israeli military spokes-man Guy Inbar said the long export process was solely for security rea-sons and “not intended to harm” exports, noting that Palestinians export some 100,000 tons of fresh produce a year. He

said Palestinians access more water than what is allowed for under shar-ing agreements and that farmers with permits are able to reach land on the other side of the separa-tion barrier.

The challenges sparked a new way of think-ing: Palestinians had to make finished goods that could survive the rough growing conditions and lengthy journey to out-side markets.

Fair-trade, organic prod-ucts that can be rain-fed, particularly olives, were the perfect solution.

“It’s the future of Pales-tinian exports. The future is in added value, through environmental and social accountability,” said Abu Farha of Canaan Fair Trade. “People want to know: “Where is this oil coming from? Whose life is it changing?”

The changes are visible in Nus Jubail, a village crowded with olives and pines, its 400 residents in houses with blue doors and rooftops sheltered by grape arbors. A decade ago, most residents pressed their oil for per-sonal use. Little was sold commercially and prices were low, said Khader, the farmer.

Around 2004, agricul-tural activists formed the Palestinian Fair Trade Association, seeking out farmers across the West Bank. They persuaded Khader to establish an organic cooperative of five farmers, allowing them to collectively press their olives and sell bet-ter-priced oil.

During the three-year conversion process, Khad-er and his colleagues were taught to grow olives without chemicals, prun-ing and plowing instead of using herbicides and fermenting sheep drop-pings into fertilizer. Once certified, Khader and his partners sold their oil above market prices, attracting other recruits. Now 18 of the village’s 30 farmers are organic.

Caring meant a lot to veteranEditor:

On Veterans Day I was invited to a compli-mentary lunch at West Fork Community and Senior Center. The food and fellowship was great accompanied by patriotic music.

On behalf of all veterans, I would like to thank everyone who had a part in making our “Special Day.” Your thoughtfulness and caring meant a lot to us.

It was my pleasure meeting and talking with all the veterans. After spending six years in for-eign countries fighting for freedom, I thank God that I live in America and am proud to have served my country.

— Everyone loves the smell of the holiday, but scent-creating home accessories can be irri-tants. Limit the use of air fresheners like can-dles, oils and potpourri. If you really want to fill your home with a holiday aroma during a special occasion, try baking using naturally fragrant ingredients like vanilla, cinnamon or citrus.

— A crackling fire can create a warm, fes-tive mood for holiday gatherings. To minimize potential irritation, don’t use wood-burning stoves or fireplaces at all.

If you use a gas fire-place, check vents and use secured doors, rather than screens, to reduce smoke entering the room.

— When giving a gift to someone with aller-gies or asthma, keep their potential triggers in mind. For example, some children with asthma may be irritated by the materials com-monly used in stuffed animals.

Look for products that do not have sen-sitizing or allergenic chemicals such as form-aldehyde. You can also find a list of allergy and asthma-friendly products on the AAFA website, www.aafa.org/certified.

— When welcom-ing guests who have allergies or asthma, take preventative steps to help mini-mize irritants. Give your home a thor-ough cleaning (you probably would any-

way because of the holiday) using clean-ing products that can reduce allergens from hard surfaces, but that do not use harsh, potentially irri-tating chemicals. Vacu-um using a high quality vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter to reduce the chance of disturb-ing dust into the air. Don’t forget to change your furnace filters as well. Use a high effi-ciency filter that can last up to 90 days.

No one wants to experi-ence an allergy or asthma attack during the holiday season. By taking steps to minimize irritants in your home environment, you can help ensure that everyone’s eyes are bright with holiday joy — and not because of aller-gies.

This year, organic oil is selling for about $5.40 a liter — a dollar high-er than conventional oil, said Abu Farha of Canaan Fair Trade, which purchases much of the oil. Other independent farm-ers are selling directly to consumers for $9 a liter,

far above market price.Farmers are going

organic on other products, such as maftoul, a chewy sun-dried staple resem-bling couscous, as well as dried almonds and a spicy herb mix called “zatar.”

But high-end oil is key.In Whole Foods supermar-

kets in New York and New Jersey, it’s sold under the

“Alter Eco” brand, Abu Farha said. It’s in Sainsbury’s in Brit-ain, and in boutique shops globally through Canaan and other distributers. Dr. Bron-ner’s Magic Soap, a popular organic, fair traded vegan soap, sources 95 percent of its oil — some 165 tons — from Palestinian growers, the soap company said.

Even so, challenges abound. Palestinian oil pro-duction is irregular because they can’t irrigate their crops and export costs are still high. Abu Farha of Canaan said some farmers have cheated by mixing conven-tional oil into their products.

Still, the move toward organic, sustainable farming is an important, elegant fight.

“I don’t throw rocks,” said farmer Khader, refer-ring to young men who frequently hurl stones during demonstrations. He pointed to his rock-built terraces. “I use them to build our future.”

Carefully clean all Christmas ornaments that have stored in boxes in basements and attics to remove dust and allergens.

Millersburg gets into holiday spirit on Soiree Saturday

Shop for Christmas at small businesses during Soirée Saturday, a holi-day open house in Mill-ersburg running from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., with some stores open even later.

“Soirée Saturday is Mill-ersburg’s Christmas open house,” explained Histor-ic Downtown Millersburg Executive Director Tara McCulloch. “It’s an excel-lent opportunity to get some Christmas shopping done and really get into the holiday spirit.”

Shoppers can shop locally as Millersburg’s merchants offer deals, treats and entertainment.

“Nearly every store in the downtown will be open and fully decorat-ed for Christmas. Many of them will be offering refreshments, entertain-ment and special sales.”

For example, Book-worms will have in-store specials and serve spar-kling grape juice and truffles, as well as have the Church of God’s wor-ship team performing live Christmas carols.

Jackson Street Gallery and the Jewelry Store are both offering a 20 per-cent off sale throughout the store and Starlight Antiques will be open till 10 p.m. featuring sales on gift items and antiques, free gift wrapping and double frequent shoppers punches.

Young Music and Sound is offering 30 percent off all pianos, 20 percent off guitars and 10 percent off accessories, while Young Uniforms & Scrubs has half off embroidery with purchase and Egyptian cotton sheets for $20.

Hotel Millersburg will have half price strawber-ry daiquiris until 10 p.m.

Light for My Path Can-dles, the new ownership of Walnut Creek Candles, is offering an after Thanks-giving sale of 50 percent

off most gift items. Lux Hair Studio will feature exclusive sale prices 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. with 30 per-cent off hair products.

Village Antiques, Pio-neer Loft, Millersburg Glass & Collectibles and other stores will also be offering deals and treats.

“Millersburg is already lit up and beautiful in the evening,” said McCulloch, who thanked the Millers-burg Lions Club for carry-ing on the tradition of put-ting up Christmas lights. All the stores have decked the halls too, so it will be a nice evening to be in town supporting the commu-nity, supporting the stores and getting some Christ-mas shopping done with some good deals.”

In addition, festive holi-day carols will be playing over the downtown loud-speakers.

The evening is being held in conjunction with Small Business Satur-day — a recognized day between Black Friday and Cyber Monday dedi-cated to supporting small businesses nationwide — Soirée Saturday is about having fun while support-ing local merchants.

“Small businesses are actually the biggest employer in the U.S. Sta-tistically, they give more money back to the com-munity and small business owners have the tendency to get their supplies from other local businesses. More money stays in the community, supports other local businesses, employees many people

and creates a tax revenue for local governments,” explained McCulloch. “It just makes sense to sup-port the people who are your neighbors, the peo-ple who you know. You get personal service with a smile.”

Shoppers can also take the opportunity to pur-chase or use their “Be Focal, Buy Local” shop local totes.

“It is an excellent time to pick up a buy local bag and use those bags in the participating stores,” said McCulloch, explaining that customers can pur-chase the bags for $1 or receive it for free with a minimum purchase, depending upon the par-ticipating store. “Some stores are going to be offering additional sales in addition to the ones they are already offering in conjunction with the buy local bags. It’s a really good night to go into the stores and ask what each of the specials are.”

At Soirée Saturday, shoppers can find a gift for everyone on his or her Christmas list in Millers-burg’s small businesses, said McCulloch.

“When you come to town and walk around, you’ll find that almost everything you need to buy you can buy in Millersburg,” she said.

“Remember your local businesses when you are deciding where to shop.”

Reporter Kelley Mohr can be reached at 330-674-5676 or [email protected].

Holmes SWCD recognizes conservation enthusiasts

The 2012 drought serves as a reminder as to why soil and water conservation districts were formed more than 70 years ago. Jim Cros-key Jr., chairman of the Holmes Soil and Water Conservation Board of

Supervisors told those attending the district’s annual meeting that years of drought and poor farming practices led to the Dust Bowls of the 1930s.

“Soil from the prai-ries blew all the way to Washington, D.C. to convince Congress that conservation needed

to become a priority for our nation, and the Soil Conservation Ser-vice and soil and water conservation districts were formed,” Croskey said. “Conservation has changed the face of our land, improved our water quality and kept our soils produc-tive, even in times of

drought. Our district continues to promote conservation through partnerships within the county, state and U.S.”

Croskey reminded the audience that Hugh Hammond Bennett, the first chief of the Soil Conservation Ser-vice — now the Natural

Resources Conserva-tion Service — is quot-ed as saying, “Take care of the land, and the land will take care of you.”

Velvet View Farm, of Big Prairie, owned a n d o p e r a t e d b y Aaron and David Schlauch and their families, was selected as the recipient of the 2012 Conserva t ion Farm Award.

“It is great to work with quality people,” said Merle Swartzentr-uber. “(The) Schlauchs don’t have a lot of flat land on their farm, but they do an excellent job of managing their farm.”

Swartzentruber has worked with Schlauchs on many of their proj-ects in his job as a tech-nician with the Holmes SWCD.

Over that past sever-al years, the Schlauchs have installed heavy use pads, a concrete pad for their silage bags, with curbs to prevent runoff, three covered manure storage facilities, access lanes and a feedlot set-tling basin. They have also installed gutters and downspouts on their buildings, installed a 2,500-gallon tank to handle milkhouse waste, manage their woodlot, use cover crops to pre-vent erosion and have completed a manure nutrient management plan.,

Esther Silvius received the district’s Friend of Conservation Award. Silvius has been a long-time supporter of farm-ing and conservation and has written count-less articles over the years for several area newspapers and period-icals. Silvius was recog-nized for her support of the district with articles about the activities in county. She was unable to attend the banquet and her award was accepted on her behalf by her son, Dan.

One of the district’s

an n u a l h i g h l i g h t s is the Tom Graham Fifth-Grade Conser-vation Tour, now in its 47th year. Dur-i n g t h e b a n q u e t , Jason Schuch, a Hol-mes SWCD supervi-sor, asked how many people in attendance had taken part in the tour as fifth-graders. More than half of the audience raised their hands, indicating they had participated.

This year, the tour was hosted by Tom and Sarah Miller. The Mill-ers hosted more than 400 fifth-graders from West Holmes, East Hol-mes and Holmesville. As part of the tour, the students are asked to submit an essay about the tour. The top three winners in the essay contest were recog-nized at the banquet. First place went to Eleah Crayton, daugh-ter of Will and Heather Crayton. Second place went to Macin Hager, son of Chris and Susan Hager, and third place went to Caleb Martin, son of Steve and Lori Martin.

Elected to the Board of Supervisors were Tim Brumme and Robert Hershberger. Brumme and his wife, Angela, along with Tim’s par-ents, run Big Little Farms near Killbuck. They farm 700 acres in Holmes and Coshocton counties. Their main crop is mixed hay for the horse market. They also raise oats, soybeans and beef cattle. Conser-vation practices on their farm include no-till, con-tour strips, crop rotation and grassed waterways. Tim is a member of the Holmes County Farm Bureau and is a member of Nashville Church of Christ. Tim and Angela have two young daugh-ters.

Hershberger, of Mon-roe Township, raises Holstein heifers, corn, soybeans and hay, in rotation. Conserva-tion practices include contour strips, using minimum or no-till. He works part time at Paint Valley Equipment. He is an active member of Millersburg Mennonite Church and a member of the Holmes County Farm Bureau. Bob and his wife, Beth, have a daughter, who gradu-ated from college last year.

No room at Holmes kennelIt’s normally a slow time

of the year, but the dogs keep coming and the ken-nels at the Holmes Coun-ty Dog Warden’s Office are filled to near capacity.

Dog Warden Katelyn Lehman posted Tuesday morning on the depart-ment’s Facebook page the following message:

“Our kennels are com-pletely full! If you are able to take on the responsibil-ity of another pet please please please come adopt one of our awesome dogs. The dogs that are marked URGENT are just that, they have been here the longest or may be in need of some extra socialization. However, any adoption will help save the life of that dog, as well as open up a spot for another dog that is in need. Please spread the word, every kennel in our facility is full, there is no more room.”

The post prompt-ed an “overwhelming response,” she said.

As of Wednesday, the kennel was home to 22 dogs, however, with the approaching winter and

cold weather, Lehman said a kennel that can house up to 34 dogs in the summer is really only able to hold 20 in the win-ter. To keep more means splitting indoor/outdoor kennels and keeping some dogs outside.

Blueprints have been drawn up to expand the

facility and nearly dou-ble the cage space, but finances are holding the project back.

“Normally, this time of year, we’re low on dogs. I’m worried because it’s getting to be late fall and they’re continuing to come,” said Lehman, who has “no idea” why the

numbers are higher than normal.

“For a while, I think the economy had a huge impact on that, but we’re not hearing that recently. They’re just saying, ‘I don’t want this dog any more,’” she said, specifically refer-

cinated and heart worm negative and really ready to go,” says Holmes County Dog Warden Katelyn Lehman of 9-year-old Scout, who has been at the department’s kennel since Aug. 13.

ring to those people who turn to the kennel to release their dog. Because of the high census, Lehm-an said, those people are being turned away right now.

To date, the dog war-den’s office has taken in 332 dogs. Only four of those have been eutha-nized, and in those cases, were put down because of aggressiveness or medical condition, said Lehman, noting for the first time,

earlier this week, “we were considering (eutha-nasia for population control), but I posted on Facebook and it just blew up.”

While many people do turn to the kennel when looking for a pet, some-times those animals in custody get a bad reputa-tion because people think there must be a reason they were “unwanted,” Lehman said.

To the contrary, she said, “Some of the dogs we get here are some of the smartest dogs I know. You can tell they’ve been worked with, are house trained, and some even know tricks.”

With constant turnover of dogs ranging in size and age and disposition, she said, it’s a great option for families or individuals looking to add to their family. She warns, howev-er, that people looking to adopt can’t be too picky. Seldom does the kennel see purebred dogs. And, puppies tend to go quick-er than older dogs.

Nevertheless, many mix breeds make good pets.

Perhaps in the most jeopardy at the kennel is Scout, a 9-year-old senior walker coon hound. He’s been there since Aug. 13. And, while he’s often overlooked, “he’s precious, laid back and relaxed,” Lehman said. “He’s vaccinated and heart worm negative and really ready to go.”

All the dogs are pictured on the department’s web-site, www.holmescounty-dogwarden.com. Because

all the dogs are named when they come through the door, Lehman cau-tions owners looking for a lost pet to look past the names on the website and look only at the photo and description.

In addition to having an exceptionally high number of dogs, Lehman said the number of reclaims for the year is low. “We’re trying to spread the word that we’re here.”

All new dogs are held for three days before being eligible for adop-tion. Those coming in with identification are

held 14 days, while every possible attempt is made to contact the owner.

Parkinson’s disease management eased by caregiver(BPT) — For more than

14 years, Chuck Holde-man, a 74-year-old man from Bloomington, Ind., has been living with Par-kinson’s disease, a chronic condition which inhibits several types of neuro-logical activity, including motor skill function and cognitive ability. Chuck is just one of the estimated 1 million people living with

PD in the United States, and there are 60,000 new cases diagnosed each year.

While symptoms and treatment may vary among patients, a care partner and medical sup-port team are essential elements of a successful treatment plan for many. For Chuck, that partner in care is his wife Mari-anne, whose dedication,

love and support has made managing his PD much more acceptable.

Marianne’s support has been evident from the onset.“By adhering to the treatment plan we outlined with our neurologist, Chuck is able to be an active mem-ber of our family; he loves playing with his best friend, Lucky, our Boston terrier, staying active by walking

and using his master gar-dener skills to beautify our home,” she says

The journey isn’t always easy for a care partner. “Patience and understand-ing are two virtues that all care partners must display,” Marianne explains, “but if it means having more qual-ity time to spend with your loved one, it’s all worth it.”

November marks the

16th annual National Fam-ily Caregivers Month, cel-ebrating people like Mari-

anne who dedicate their lives to the well-being of others.

The success of the West Holmes football team is a double-edged sword for other sports. The Knights’ basketball team, for example, has already had to reschedule two games.

And West Holmes wrestling coach Jeff Woods is waiting for some of his people to finish football so they can get into the wrestling room so he can evalu-ate his team’s talent and prospects for the coming season.

But, like basketball coach Jim Lindeman said, it’s a good problem to have.

“Because we are so senior-laden, and even the few juniors who are going to play, have been playing big minutes over the last two, three years, it definitely will be a smoother transition into what it is we’re going to do this season,” Linde-man said. “It would be one thing if we were really young and inex-perienced, but having all these seniors and guys who know what we want to do, day-in and day-out, it shouldn’t be a problem. In fact it’s great for the kids, and it’s a good thing for us.”

This is something that has been building up for years. Last season’s basketball team enjoyed a great run that ended with a disappointing loss in the district finals. The baseball team then went to state in the spring.

“It’s definitely special. You don’t have classes like this come along very often from an athletic standpoint,” Lindeman said. “What I think makes them all the more special is just the type of men they’ve become. These are guys who are going to become leaders in the community, wher-ever they end up over the next 20 years. They’re going to pop up and be successful in whatever field they choose. They’re great character kids, and that translates with ath-letic ability, with them

working really hard in each sport. They put in the time and it’s pay-ing off for them. They deserve the success they’ve had so far.”

Woods says he’s behind the eight ball when it comes to weight certifica-tion for his wrestlers.

“Usually you have a week or two for weight certification so you can get guys down to weight,” he said. “This year, we’re going to be walking guys out of football practice to get their weight. We’ll be stuck with whatever the kids weigh, that’s what they’re going to be wrestling.

“This is going to be one of those years where we get better every week,” Woods added. “I’m hop-ing football goes all the way to the state finals. To me, all that matters is sectionals, district state anyhow. I couldn’t tell you what my record is. After 23 years, I forget things. It’s all about state placers and state qualifiers, anyhow. It’s going to set us back, but it’s not going to kill us. Hopefully, we can start peaking at the right time. These guys aren’t going to get much of a break going from one sport to another. I might have to take that into consid-eration on some of the practices.”

Yea, right, coach.The success enjoyed by

the West Holmes football team this fall reached far into the community.

Brent Snyder, a mem-ber of the West Holmes school board who is also the proud papa of West Holmes quarterback/defensive end Gabe Sny-der, shared his thoughts after Saturday’s tough loss at Fawcett Stadium.

“The support was obvi-ous as the season went on,” Snyder said. “The community saw the abili-ties the team had. They saw the culmination of a lot of effort from the coaches and the players. The community rallied in support. I think it gave a lot of enjoyment for everybody to come out and watch and see a very competitive West Holmes football team.

“As a parent, you just hope for the best out-come of each play,” Sny-der added.


Football success cuts into winter schedule

Bob Reining photoA disappointed group of West Holmes football players display their regional runner-up trophy after

falling 48-21 to Dover Saturday at Fawcett Stadium in Canton. The Knights were their own worst enemy against Dover, coughing up the ball six times, and the Tornadoes enjoyed the perfect storm, gaining their first trip to the Final Four.

Dover turns West Holmes’ 6 turnovers into 48-21 victory

Football coaches since before Knute Rockne have always preached the value of playing turn-over-free.

You could almost feel the ghosts of football past cringing Satur-day night, when West Holmes and Dover met at the sport’s birthplace, Canton, in a Div. III, Region 11 final.

All season, West Holmes prided itself in keeping the football on offense, and keeping good care of it. But the Knights let the ball — and the game — get away in an uncharacteristic third quarter, as Dover took full advantage and pulled away for a 48-21 victory at Fawcett Stadium.

West Holmes (11-2) had six turn-

overs, three on third-quarter pos-sessions. Dover (11-2) turned all three into touchdowns and turned a 21-14 halftime lead into a 41-14 margin early in the fourth quarter. The Tornadoes, who had lost in the regional final the last five years and six of the last seven, advances to its first Final Four next Friday against Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary.

“The one thing is, this isn’t rocket science. You can’t hand the oppos-ing team the ball,” West Holmes coach Kevin Maltarich said. “They took advantage of every situation and put points on the board.”

The Knights trailed 21-7 late in the second quarter, but went 71 yards in 11 plays to make it a one-score game on Garrett Mackey’s fourth-down 1-yard plunge in the final minute of the first half. West

Holmes actually had another scor-ing chance in the half when it got the ball as far as the Dover 12 on an interference call, but Gabe Sny-der was intercepted in the end zone and the Tornadoes held on to their 21-14 advantage.

West Holmes took the second-half kickoff and went on one of its patented ball-control drives, but a fumbled exchange stopped the Knights at the Dover 15. The defense forced a punt, but Kyle Abel’s boomer hit the turf, took a skidding bounce, and deflected off of WH return man Brady Arnold. Dover recovered at the Knight 16 and two plays later quarter-back Mason Mamarella rolled left, drilled a pass to Brant Raber in the left flat, and Raber raced into the end zone for a 28-14 lead.

On West Holmes’ next series, Snyder’s third-down pass sailed high and over his target and into the hands of Dover safety Devin Patrick. Two runs took the ball to the WH 38, and Raber then took a delayed handoff, got through the line, then danced by several defend-ers en route to another score. Layne Perone fumbled the ball away on the Knights’ next play from scrim-mage, and Dover used seven runs to go 39 yards for a 41-14 lead on Mamarella’s 2-yarder just into the fourth quarter.

The Tornadoes didn’t do anything fancy offensively, running 35 times for 196 yards — with Raber car-rying 11 times for 89 yards and Mamarella 20 times for 78 yards — while Mamarella was 6-of-12 pass-ing for 137 yards.

downs when they needed to, and played mistake-free football.

“That was a very tough unit we just did that against,” said Dover coach Dan Ifft. “The kids fought and fought tonight, they were resilient — it’s been a long time coming for us. For six years, we’ve been second every year here, and I guess if you keep fighting long enough, something good happens.”

Mamarella had a part in six of Dover’s seven touch-downs, scooting in on scoring runs of 7 and 12 yards in the first half and the 2-yarder in the second half, while tossing TD passes of 55 yards to Cory Contini and 48 yards to Trey Wallick, in addition to the 16-yarder to Raber. Wallick keyed two first-half scores with punt returns of 43 and 29 yards.

“Mason swung the game for us and was phenomenal, and the kids up front did a great job,” Ifft said.

“He was our biggest concern,” said Maltarich of the 5-foot-10, 150-pound Mamarella. “He’s not the East-ern District Player of the Year for nothing.”

West Holmes had possession of the ball for over 28:00, running for 291 yards. Perone had 176 yards on 26 carries, while Mackey ran for 60 yards on 13 tries. Snyder had the two interceptions and was only 1-of-7 passing for 25 yards.

It was a disappointing end to a season of rebirth for the West Holmes program, which last appeared in the postseason in 2000. The Knights also captured a share of the Ohio Cardinal Conference title, its first.

“The kids earned the right to play in this game,” said Maltarich, who added that his 18 seniors “built a solid foundation for years to come.”

“We didn’t play our best game,” he added, “but when we reflect back, it’s been a heckuva season.”


Turnovers

Three Knights, one Hawk sign athletic scholarshipsFrom the time these

kids were in elemen-tary school, sports fans around Holmes County talked about how good this senior class at West Holmes was going to be.

On Friday, three of them showed just how good they are, signing National Letters of Intent to receive Div. I college scholarships in three dif-ferent sports.

Rachel Nelson signed her scholarship to James Madison University in Virginia to continue her tennis career. Max Rohs-kopf signed to accept a scholarship to North Carolina State University, where he will wrestle for the Wolfpack. And Gabe Snyder made his com-mitment to Wright State University official, where he plans to pitch and play baseball for the Raiders.

“It’s good to see it come to fruition,” said West Holmes school board member Kurt McDowell, who happens to be coach of the Knights baseball team. “You always hear people talk about how good this class or that class is. To see it actually come to fruition is great for the community, it’s good for the school. It’s nice to see all the pro-grams are pretty success-ful right now. It’s nice to be on a high right now.”

Nelson says she decid-ed on James Madison because she felt most comfortable there.

“The coach was a big part of it. She contacted me early in the summer

and expressed inter-est in me,” Nelson said. “I liked more things at James Madison than I did at the other schools. It’s not all about tennis, but I am excited about getting better, and having a team and working with a coach and having a new experi-ence.”

She had considered offers from Gonzaga, Montana and New Mex-ico, as well.

Nelson plans to pursue an English degree with plans to teach at the col-legiate level.

“I can go West for grad school,” she said with a laugh.

Her parents, Bill and Rosanna Nelson, are excited for her as well.

“You always dream of something like this for your children. I just hope she takes advantage of this great opportunity,” her father said.

Rohskopf said he is looking forward to the challenge of competing at the next level.

“I really liked the coaching staff and the head coach there,” Rohs-kopf said. “He’s a first-year coach and he took Binghampton, which was 0-12 in 2005 and turned that program around into a national power. I’m hoping he does the same thing at NC State.

“I like the culture he’s trying to put in there,” Rohskopf added. “We all have the same goal; we are trying to compete for a national title and be All-American.”

West Holmes wrestling coach Jeff Woods was

pleased to see the hard work and dedication shown by Rohskopf pay off.

“I think he has put in the time to be where he’s at. A lot of young kids look up to these guys and see the work they put in and know that it’s achiev-able to go to college,” Woods said. “We’ve been very fortunate the last few years. That was the idea with Clint Carmony, Clint Sponseller or Colt Sponseller, now Max. This is what it’s all about.”

The third signee on Fri-day, Snyder, says he chose Wright State because they offered him an opportu-nity to play a position as well as pitch.

“Plus they have a great accounting program, which I am planning to go into,” he said.

His father, Brent Sny-der, says it is great to see his son accomplish some-thing he set out to do

from the time he started playing ball.

“We’ve had a lot of fun along the way, start-ing back in grade school, through Little League and junior high ball, Hot Stove up through his var-sity seasons. To culminate in a scholarship is more than you can hope for,” Brent Snyder said.

Snyder is a multi-sport star at West Holmes, shin-ing in football, basketball and baseball. He led the Knights to the state tour-nament on the mound last spring. His coach credits his mastery of the curve-ball for the improvement.

“Gabe has done a great job the last couple years getting control of his curveball,” McDowell said. “That has been a big out pitch for him.

“You could see at the beginning of last season, but more toward the end, he was swinging the bat well and dominating on

the mound,” McDowell added. “That was part of the maturing process that you hope happens dur-ing their junior year. He grabbed hold of it and continues to perform well in everything he does.”

Meanwhile, on Thurs-day at Hiland, a tradition that began in 1993 with Melanie Mishler and Sheila Mullet signing to play basketball at Gos-hen, beginning a string of 34 players signing more than $2.5 million dollars worth of scholarships, was continued with Nata-lie Nickol’s acceptance of a scholarship to play for Div. II Ursuline College.

“We can set the stage, but they’ve got to be ready,” Hiland coach Dave Schlabach said. “They’ve got to put in the time, and if they do that, they’re going to get a chance.”

That was the case for Nickol, who shined brightly at a pair of col-lege exposure events this summer, helping her earn a pair of scholarship offers.

Schlabach said that last year Nickol was laboring along on the JV squad, but took on additional work this summer.

“She outworked every-body,” the coach said. “She spent a tremendous amount of time in the gym working on her game and sought additional help. Then she played well at both college exposure events this summer.

“I think some of our kids think you automati-cally get a college scholar-ship,” he added. “You’ve got to be relentless and passionate and work for it. If you do that, then our relationships with various colleges can help out.”

SPORTS FANS!If you’re a baseball fan, you probably heard

that late in the 2012 season, the 500,000th error in major league history was committed - by Miami Marlins shortstop Jose Reyes. But do you have any idea who committed the most errors in MLB history? The answer, with an astounding 1,096 over 16 seasons - that’s an average of almost 70 errors per season - is shortstop for Boston’s National League team who played at the turn of the last century. His name was Herman Long.

National Football League fans were relieved to see the regular officials return to duty early

in the 2012 season, but perhaps not the folks at ESPN. It was a blown call by the replacement refs costing Green Bay a win against Seattle that motivated a settlement after a four-month lockout, but viewers were so fascinated with the play that the episode of “Sportscenter” following the broadcast of the game was the most watched ever. And get this - there were more than a million mentions of the play on Twitter within 24 hours.

As the Chase for the Cup concludes another season, here are three NASCAR records on which to win a bet or two. Fastest average speed for a race in NASCAR history - 188.354 mph, set by Mark Martin in a win at Talladega, May 10, 1977. Fastest qualifying speed in NASCAR history - 212.809 mph, posted by Bill Elliott to take the pole at Talladega, April 30, 1987. Record time in the annual Sprint Pit Crew Challenge for a four-tire-change, gas-fill-up, 40-yard-push pit stop - 21.472 seconds, set in 2011 by the number 14 Office Depot team.

Upgrading your kitchen from ‘blah’ to ‘bling’(BPT) — From cooking

to entertaining, the kitch-en — always the heart of the home — now takes center stage as the 21st century hub of the home. As families spend more time in their homes, today’s “command cen-tral” kitchen needs to be multi-functional and high-definition with easy-to-maintain sur-faces dedicated to cook-ing, working, Web surfing and blogging, paying bills and doing homework, as well as creating a com-fortable environment to entertain with family and friends.

To design a kitchen that meets the multiple needs of today’s modern family, including stand-ing up to its daily wear and tear without break-ing the bank, homeown-ers can transform their kitchens with a few tips and tricks from interior design experts and com-

panies that have created more durable and afford-able yet equally beautiful products.

Small steps can create better spaces

Begin redesigning your kitchen to address multi-functional needs with some smart planning, and consider remodel-ing in phases rather than all at once. Begin with the easiest area: replace aging countertops with materials that are beauti-ful yet durable and ver-satile. Counter space for food preparation can be optimized for laptops and other electronics while you keep an eye on din-ner and the kids. Design at the appropriate height and allow space for your legs under the counter so that the same space can be converted to an ad-hoc desk when you aren’t cooking.

Incorporate a distinct play and work area for

kids to do homework or create a crafting or game area for school and art projects, and family activ-ities that can be tucked into a corner when not in use. Include flat-panel screens in a back splash or a separate lounge area adjacent to the work-space to entertain family and friends.

Counter life’s madness with beautiful surfacesMaking the most of the

countertop requires the right material for aes-thetics and functionality. While there are numer-ous options, today’s laminate countertops feature beautiful designs that mirror granite and other natural stones at a fraction of the cost, and with scratch-resistant finishes that are not only easy to clean but also resist common stains like peanut butter, per-manent marker and red wine.

Because laminates are made from recycled content and are easy to install and maintain, they make an eco- and budget-friendly choice for consumers.

“Everyone loves the look of natural stones but they don’t real-ize how much mainte-nance they can require, while today’s high-qual-ity laminate mirrors that look and withstands daily wear and tear,” says interior designer and HGTV’s Design on a Dime host, Sum-mer Baltzer. “I love the fact that there are now new countertop collec-tions, like the Wilsonart HD line, that offer great design options that com-plement both traditional and modern spaces, but also offer great features like integrated sinks and decorative edges, to make it a simple one-stop remodeling pro-

ject. Consumers can give a room new life just by replacing a countertop with laminate at signifi-cant savings compared to other materials.”

Get inspired and create a space to

live in high definitionBefore embarking on

a renovation project, talk with the family to determine what the ideal

kitchen will look like. Read home improvement magazines, watch remod-eling shows for inspira-tion, and ask experts for tips and tricks at your home improvement store. Look at online tools such as the visualizer on www.WilsonartHD.com to see how you can upgrade your kitchen from blah to bling for less.

The kitchen is the heart and hub of the home.
