It was a path that had al- ready led him to four prison terms, and 30 or more jail stays. It was a path that was go- ing to lead him to more time in prison– or death. “I was living in a drug at- mosphere, on the north side of Toledo. I was getting into fights with police officers and other adults on the block, be- cause it was all about terri- tory,” he said. He sold drugs, and he used them. Then, one day, about five years ago, while he was locked up at Corrections Center of Northwest Ohio, he was talking to another inmate who told him about Cecily Rohrs and the Shep- herd’s Circle program. “A lot of the things he was telling me, I didn’t believe,” he said. The program helps people “get back up on their feet and everything. It helps you with your education, finds you a job, or helps you with better reasoning skills, and some other things" such as finances. After release, things weren’t working out for him. “When you get out of jail, it’s kind of rough on you. You don’t have a job, you don’t have any income, so you come out and you look forward to getting some kind of income going. “I didn’t want to get back in that lifestyle again, so I decided to call her,” he said.

She’d already dealt with people like me for a number of years,” he said.

Archbold Community The-atre has resulted in a close friendship for three young actresses. Kate Nofziger and MacK-enna Whitacre, Archbold, and Lydia Babcock, Napo-leon, fi rst came together during the ACT production of “Annie,” then worked to-gether on “Alice in Wonder-land, Jr.” When asked what she en-joyed about being an ACT actress, Whitacre said, “It’s making new friends and per-forming in front of people. “And being in shows with Kate and Lydia,” Whitacre said. Nofziger agreed, noting that for the fi rst time, a character she’s playing actu-ally has a name. Babcock said she enjoys acting because she makes new friends. She also said she enjoys performing “and hearing the applause at the end of the

show, because it shows that people recognize all the hard work we put into the show.” All three said they will continue to seek roles on the ACT stage. When asked about ACT’s current production, “Yes, Virginia, There is a Santa Claus,” Nofziger said people should see the show “because it’s about Christmas and why people should believe there is a Santa Claus.” Archbold Community The-atre will present fi ve perfor-mances of “Yes, Virginia, There is a Santa Claus” at Giffey Hall in the Ridgeville Corners theatre district, Fri-day and Saturday, Dec. 2-3, 9-10, and Sunday, Dec. 11.

Liechty Farm Equipment combined with Van Wert-based Kenn-Feld Group, LLC, on Tuesday, Nov. 1. The 10 locations of the two companies will continue to operate under the current names. In other words, the Archbold operations will con-tinue to be known as Liechty Farm Equipment and Brush Creek Sales & Rental. “We are excited to combine with Liechty Farm Equip-ment to form one of the larg-est John Deere dealerships in Ohio and Indiana,” said Tom Burenga, general manager. The move will give cus-tomers additional access to equipment, parts and exper-tise with precision farming, Burenga said. “The combination of Liechty Farm Equipment and Kenn-Feld Group offers our organizations a unique opportunity to assemble a single organization that can be more effi cient, more

customer focused, and more value-driven than the two organizations separately,” said Chris Liechty, rental operations manager. “We are very excited to implement the integration process over the coming weeks and months,” he said. Kenn-Feld operates three locations: Lefeld Implement, Coldwater; Kennedy-Kuhn, Van Wert; and East Allen Ag and Turf, Woodburn, Ind. Liechty Farm Equipment has four full-service John Deere dealerships in Arch-bold, Edgerton, Napoleon, and Paulding. Additionally, the company has rental and consumer products stores doing busi-ness under the name Brush Creek Sales & Rental in Wauseon and Archbold. There also is a rental and consumer products store in Angola, Ind., operating as Hal-Mark Sales & Rental. Sam Merillat, Franklin

Ron Holdeman, Swan Creek Township, also was reelected to the fair board. Steve Aeschliman, York Township, and Rick Raab, a member-at-large, were new-ly elected to the board. Fair board members re-elected Carl Buehrer as president, Jack Graf as trea-surer, and Sue Whitaker as secretary. Dennis Wyse was elected vice president.

Financing The cost of the meal is born by the members of the church. “The church families do-nate,” Aeschliman said. “It’s fully funded by church members, through donations of time, money and food.” Those who receive the meals are grateful. “They’re overwhelmed that we thought of them,” she said. “One lady always has her thank-you note ready when we deliver her meal.

“But church members arenot doing it for the thank-yous. It’ s just nice to knowyou are reaching out to thecommunity.” The families, Aeschlimansaid, “are just sharing theirabundance.”

(Continued from fi rst page)days after they disappeared, but nothing developed out of the report. In July, Skelton accepted a plea-bargain agreement, pleading guilty to three counts of unlawful impris-onment. The prosecution reserved the right to charge Skelton with murder if bod-ies are recovered. He is currently serving 10 to 15 years at the Michigan Chippewa Correctional Fa-cility, in the Upper Penin-sula. “That irritates me,” Her-rera said. “With three chil-dren, the sentence should have been up to 45 years, but the sentences are con-current.” The 40-year-old could con-ceivably be released as early Nov. 29, 2020. He would be 49. (Note: his birthday was yesterday, Nov. 22). She said if all three boys are found alive after they have reached the legal age of 18, police cannot bring fur-ther charges against Skel-ton. Media The Skelton brothers be-came a national story soon after they were declared missing. The national press and electronic media descended on the town of about 2,200. Herrera said in her per-sonal opinion, having the media in town was good and bad. Good, because it got pic-tures and information about the missing boys before the public. Bad, because some of the media’s practices didn’t re-sult in a true picture of the situation. “They would go up and down the street and just grab a person and interview them, because they gotta have a quote,” she said. Reporters also asked how the family was doing, or, “How are they handling it? “That’s a stupid question! The family is very emotion-al,” she said. “I had a couple (of report-ers) take my words out of context.” At one point, Herrera said residents told her reporters tried to look in the windows of the family home. “Some were so awesome;

95% were to the good side,” she said. Events Two events are planned in connection with the one-year anniversary. There is a gathering at 2 pm, Sunday, Nov. 27, at the Morenci High School gym-nasium. Herrera said Tanya will speak. “I’m so proud of her. She’s fi nally gotten to the point that she can do things with-out mentally closing down.” Other speakers include Weeks, a Michigan State Po-lice offi cer, and the mayor of Morenci. There will be special mu-sic. A cousin of the boys, a high school senior girl, has written a poem about the missing youngsters. “She’s really emotional, but if she breaks down, it’s okay,” Herrera said. Offi cers of the Morenci Po-lice Department, Michigan State Police, and the Fed-eral Bureau of Investigation will conduct a “road canvas” on US 127 at Morenci Road, stopping cars and passing out fl yers to motorists. Specifi cally, they are seek-ing any sightings of Skel-ton’s dark blue 2000 Dodge minivan, which they believe Skelton was driving between 4 and 7 am the day after Thanksgiving a year ago. The canvas will be conduct-ed during the same hours on Friday, Nov. 25. Cell phone information indicates Skelton may have been in the Holiday City area, in Williams County. Morenci Herrera said in the past two years, Morenci has been rocked by several tragedies, including a fatal car crash, teen suicide, fatal hunting accident, drowning, home-invasion robbery, and a house fi re in which a father ran back into the blaze to try to save a child. Neither one made it out. “It’s made people closer. They pay more attention to one another,” Herrera said. She also credits the faith of Tanya Skelton’s family. “They have a strong reli-gious background. Without it, I don’t know how they would have made it. “It’s the one thing that’s held them together.”

(Continued from fi rst page)thought a lot of people would shy away from me, being a black man from Toledo. The news doesn’t make us look good sometimes,” he said. He met Cecily’s husband, Jerry, and their friends. “They all accepted me right away. Then the members of the church began to accept me right away, inviting me over to eat with them, tak-ing me out to eat, things like that.” But after a lifetime in Toledo, Archbold was a big change. “I was by myself, and I was kind of leery. In the city, you hear all these noises. Gunshots, a lot of screaming and everything. I didn’t hear none of those noises. The train comes through once in a while, then the house would creak. “I was like, ‘Man, it’s too quiet!’ It was kind of weird. “Being in Archbold is like being in Mayberry in 2000. You can still leave your car doors unlocked, you can leave the keys in the car, you can leave your house door unlocked. "You can drop your wal-let outside, and next thing you know, somebody will be calling you, or you’ll get it in the mail– with the money in-tact.”

Work Within a week of arriving in Archbold, Burks said a man helped him fi ll out his application form, and he was hired at Bil-Jax. He worked there about 2 1/2 years, sur-viving two rounds of layoffs before being laid off himself. By this time, he was help-ing Jerry Rohrs with the Fulton County Furniture Program, which collects used furniture and distributes it to the needy. Burks and Rohrs were having breakfast in a local restaurant when they met Karlin Wyse of Lugbill Sup-ply Center. “Karlin is a good friend of

Jerry’s. So we were there, talking to Karlin, and I hap-pened to mention I was going to get my Class B CDL (com-mercial driver license). Kar-lin said, ‘If you do, I might have a job for you.” That’s the way it turned out. Burks has been driving a truck and working in the lumberyard at Lugbill Sup-ply Center for 2 1/2 years. Life About two years ago, Burks met Shannon Boyld in Toledo. He brought her to Archbold, and she enjoyed the community. They moved from the Short home into an apartment, and about 18 months ago, married. “We got married at Karen Vonier’s house. This lady, she met me at work. When she found out we were get-ting married and we didn’t have a place where we could entertain, she let me use her house. That was great,” he said. When a home went up for sale next door to Wyse, Wyse bought the home and rented it to Burks. “How many people you know would buy a house in a community like Archbold, with not many blacks, and ask a black guy to move in

*Free Thanksgiving

*Still No Trace

*Burks Turns Life Aroundnext door? “That really put wind un-der my wings,” Burks said. Burks has three children from a previous relation-ship. Today, he has a good relationship with them. Members of the church and the community have helped with advice. For example, in his Sunday school class, Burks said, “I can shoot my ideas at them, and they can tell me, ‘Well, that’s prob-ably not the way you want to do it.’ They really help me out.”

Change Burks said following the right path in life isn’t as

hard as he thought it wouldbe. “You have to separatechildish things from beingan adult,” he said. “I’ve changed my wholeway of thinking. “Now that I know moreabout how to really live, sur-vive, and do the right things,it’s something I’d like to passon.” He’s had relatives staywith him, and with the helpof Cecily Rohrs, helped themwith some of their issues. “When I was living in To-ledo, I was a menace to soci-ety,” he said. “Here, I’m part of a com-munity.”

Archbold police have charged eight juveniles, boys and girls ages 13 to 15, in connection with theft and vandalism cases. Martin Schmidt, police chief, said offi cers are still investigating the case. He said police aren’t sure ex-actly which cases the youths are responsible for. The case broke about 2:45 am, Saturday, Nov. 12, when an offi cer patrolling in the alley on the east side of the 200 block of South Defi ance Street, discovered two ve-hicles that had been vandal-ized “with some type of blue substance and toilet paper.” The offi cer then spot-ted subjects running in the 200 block of South Defi ance Street. A second offi cer turned his patrol car into the alley on the east side of the 200 block of South Defi ance Street, and observed two male juve-niles running to the west. “I exited my patrol car and began running westbound after the youth. As I did, one juvenile came back to me and said they did not do the vandalism,” the offi cer wrote in his report. “At this time, a second ju-venile came back.”

Admit To Theft The report states the two boys stated they had not committed acts of vandal-ism, saying they were done by a sister and friends. The boys admitted they were re-sponsible for thefts of cash and candy from a sport-util-ity vehicle owned by Maria Gwen Maley, 208 South Defi -ance Street. The vehicle was parked at her residence. The two boys, both age 13, one from Archbold and one from Ridgeville Corners, were charged with juvenile delinquency by way of theft and curfew violation. They were released to adults. In searching the area, police found a total of two pickup trucks, two cars, and

a sport-utility vehicle that had been vandalized. Some vehicles were van-dalized with spray paint, and paint was wiped on the exterior wall of a garage. To-tal value: about $762.

Girls Charged Based on information pro-vided by the boys, police later charged four girls, three age 13, one 14, with juvenile de-linquency by way of criminal mischief and curfew viola-tions. All are from Archbold. Two of the boys charged in the theft from the vehicle case were also charged in connection with the theft of cigarettes from the front porch of Chad E. Hobbs, 520 South Defi ance Street. Two other Archbold boys, ages 13 and 15, were charged in connection with the theft from the Hobbs residence. Hobbs told offi cers the thefts occurred starting Monday, Sept. 19, and con-tinued through Monday, Nov. 7.

Page 8: Nov. 23, 2011

The Archbold girls bas-ketball team returns eight letterwinners, including fi ve seniors, after going 17-5 last year, 7-1 in the Northwest Ohio Athletic League.

The Streaks tied with Ev-ergreen for the league title.

In his fourth year as head coach, Brian Ziegler has compiled a 56-13 record.

Ziegler lost three to grad-uation, including leading scorer Alicia Drewes, 14.2 points and 3.6 rebounds per game; Nicole Hurst, 8.2 ppg, 6.4 rpg; and Sarah Wyse, 4.3 ppg and 4.4 rpg.

He welcomes back senior letterwinners Chelsea Goeb-el, Mindy Rupp, Abby Short, Morgan Cody, and Ruthie Beck; Taylor Coressel, a ju-nior; Cassidy Wyse and Jes-se Fidler, sophomores.

Goebel, who received NWOAL and District 7 hon-orable mention honors, av-eraged 5.4 ppg and 2.2 rpg. Rupp averaged 3.9 ppg and 2.8 rpg; Fidler, 3.7 ppg, 2.0 rpg; Wyse, 3.4 ppg, 3.0 rpg; Coressel, 3.1 ppg, 1.2 rpg.

“Depth will be a big strength for us,” said Ziegler. “With eight return-ing, we’ll be able to play a lot of girls. All played a lot of minutes on last year’s team, so experience will be another strength.

“We should be quick and fast.

“We won’t be overly tall, but we’ll be average in size,” said Ziegler.

Short is the team’s tallest player, at 5 feet, 11 inches.

“We lost our leading scor-ers and rebounders to grad-uation, so roles will need to change.

“We are a little bit behind schedule with the great suc-cess the soccer team had, making it into the Final Four. But many times the

fall season success carries over into the winter when you have some of the same athletes, so that could be a good thing. “We’ve got a good group. I’m looking forward to a suc-cessful season.” As far as the league is concerned, “we hope to con-tend for another NWOAL title while playing hard each game,” said Ziegler. The mentor thinks Ever-green will again be one of the favorites to win the league. “Patrick Henry will be tall and could contend as well,” said Ziegler. AHS opens the season on the road at Edgerton, Satur-day, Nov. 26. “Edgerton has been very competitive the past couple of years,” said the Archbold mentor. “They normally have some size and a few girls that can shoot the three-pointer. It will be a good test for our defense.” Assisting with coaching duties are Char Sharp; Ryan Holdgreve, junior varsity; and Tess Pinter, a volunteer coach.

Eight Return For AHS Girls Basketball

The 2011-2012 Arch-bold boys basketball season opens Saturday, Dec. 3, at Wauseon, and six letterwin-ners return for Doug Krauss, longtime mentor. Krauss, who has spent 27 years at the helm of the Blue and Gold, has com-piled a 435-177 record. The Streaks fi nished 23-2, 8-0 in the Northwest Ohio Athletic League last year. They closed the season with a loss to Co-lumbus Africentric in the Di-vision III regional fi nal. Telly Fricke and Garrett Morton, key players, were lost to graduation. Back are Luke Kammey-er, Gabe Rodriguez, Tanner Wyse and Hayden Stamm, seniors; Zeb Frank and Ty-son Dietrich, juniors. Frank is the leading scorer with 8.7 points per game, fol-lowed by Kammeyer, 7.5 ppg, and Dietrich, 6.7 ppg. Kammeyer received Sec-ond Team District 7 honors, while Frank and Dietrich re-ceived honorable mentions. Kammeyer and Frank were also honorable mention on the all-league teams. “We have six letterwin-ners who received valuable playing time last year,” said Krauss. “We expect these re-turners to be our leaders at both ends of the court. “Luke, Zeb, and Tyson are returning starters, and we’ll look to them to lead us at both ends of the court. Gabe, Tanner and Hayden played off the bench, and all played roles well to help our team. “Luke has been a two-year starter. We’re looking for more from him at both ends of the fl oor. He’s a tough match-up for people with his size and athletic ability and we’re looking forward to see-ing his progress this year. “Zeb and Tyson both had very nice sophomore seasons and we’re looking forward to both of them continuing to be key performers. “Zeb’s shooting is a key, but we need him to be more aggressive with the ball and to continue to improve at the defensive end. “Tyson is able to help with our inside play. We believe he can be a major force for us at both ends. “Gabe will have the oppor-tunity to step in and run our team at the point… he has the skills to be a fi ne player. “Tanner and Hayden both are fi ne team players who will again play key roles for us at both ends of the court.” Krauss will look to his bench to aid in the team’s success. Krauss wants to see the team crash the boards for rebounds and looks for all fi ve players on the court to check out and be tough un-derneath. Last year’s defense forced an average of 17 turnovers

per game, “but we didn’t do a very good job converting those turnovers into points,” said Krauss. “Good teams make their opponents pay for their mis-takes, and we’re looking to do a better job of that this year.” If the Streaks can convert those turnovers into easy

points, they hope to raise their 52.3 ppg average. “Losing Fricke and Mor-ton, our leading scorers, will be huge, as well as team leaders for us at both ends of the court,” said Krauss. “Fricke was a three-year starter at the point guard position. We’ll see who steps up at that position, makes

good decisions, and takes care of the ball. “Morton did so much for us in all phases of the game that it’ll be diffi cult to replace his production, but we’ll need people to work hard to do so. “This year, like always, we hope to develop into a bal-anced team offensively, and we hope to be a team that can have fi ve guys on the fl oor capable of scoring. "We’ll be as good as our defense... but we need to capitalize off our opponents’ mistakes better. “We’ll need to work hard to keep our defensive inten-sity up and give ourselves a chance to compete. “With this team, playing with energy, passion, and intensity each night will give us an opportunity to com-pete. "I feel we have a good mix-ture of players who will dem-onstrate the ability to play tough and play together.”

Stop in for Refreshments Friday, Nov. 25. The Pettisville boys bas-ketball team, under the guidance of Greg Nofziger, head coach, looks to improve on last year’s record of 10-11 with seven returning letter-winners. Nofziger has spent 11 sea-sons at the helm of the Birds and has compiled a 158-83 record. The Birds fi nished last season with a 6-4 record in the Buckeye Border Con-ference. Nofziger said it could be anyone’s race to win the BBC this year. The Birds lost starters Taylor Short and Jacob Rupp, along with Josh Klop-fenstein, to graduation. What this year’s team

lacks in overall size– Aaron Bruner is the tallest Black-bird at 6 feet, 5 inches– Nofziger points to the team’s overall quickness and speed to control the tempo of the game. Returning letterwinners are senior starters Zach Pur-sel, 6.7 points per game, and Bruner, 7.9 ppg; Travis Beck and Aarin Short, seniors; Aaron King, 7.4 ppg; David Reyes, 3.5 ppg; and Josh Borton, juniors. Assisting in coaching du-ties are Scott Rupp, junior varsity, and Justin Rufe-nacht, freshmen. Pettisville opens its sea-son, Saturday, Dec. 3, at Delta.

The Pettisville girls bas-ketball team returns fi ve let-terwinners from a team that went 14-8, 8-2 in the Buck-eye Border Conference last year. In his 14th season, Jason Waldvogel, head coach, has compiled a 181-147 record. All fi ve returnees are se-niors. The Blackbirds are led by Kaitlyn Nofziger, who av-erages 10.7 points per game. Tanner Hostetler averag-es 9.2 ppg; Ashlyn Bontrag-er, 4.5 ppg; Lauren Frey, 3.7 ppg; and Lexie King, 1 ppg. “Attitude and the will-ingness to work” are team strengths, said Waldvogel. “Our seniors give us a good amount of experience and younger players are hungry to play. "We should be able to shoot the basketball fairly well, along with having de-

cent speed.” Waldvogel will also look to juniors Amber Loar and Jes-sica Valdez and sophomores Lauren Hostetler and Audra Klopfenstein to contribute. “Size is probably our big-gest hurdle, but we hope to overcome that with our ag-gressiveness and hustle,” said Waldvogel. “We want to give 100% each night and keep improving. “We plan to contend night in and night out.” Pettisville lost three to graduation: Brady Avina, Kayla King and Kylee Gar-cia. Assisting in coaching du-ties is Kendra Stahl, an Archbold graduate. Brian Leppelmeier is the junior varsity coach. The Birds open their sea-son, Friday, Nov. 25, at Wauseon.

Remember last month, when Archbold Park Board thought the leak in the vil-lage swimming pool was fi xed? It wasn’t. Jennifer Kidder, director of Archbold Parks & Recre-ation, told members of the Park Board in October that new caulking was applied to the joint between the pool walls and fl oor, at a cost of $3,200. But the leak continued. The Archbold Wastewater Treatment Plant under-ground pipeline camera was placed into the pool plumb-ing, and discovered a broken pipe in a line between two drains in the deep end. Kidder said the area will have to be excavated to get to the break. She said the contractor on the project, Northwest Pools, Toledo, told her the “worst case scenario” would put the repair bill at $3,200. However, caulking the fl oor-wall joint was not money wasted. She said ac-tually, the caulking should be replaced every fi ve years; no one in village government was aware of that. Donation The Archbold Festival of Lights lighted Christmas display in Ruihley Park is benefi ting from an award re-ceived by Sauder Woodwork-ing. Sauder received the Sage Award for Environmental Excellence from the Ameri-can Home Furnishings Alli-ance. With that award came $2,500, earmarked for en-vironmental projects. The company agreed to donate the money to the festival. Kidder told Park Board members the money will buy two special timers for festi-val lights. Park Board will fund the purchase of a third. In the past, the lights in the festival had been left on 24 hours per day; the idea being heat from the bulbs would keep moisture out of the wiring. The timers will allow the lights to turn on at about 5 pm and turn off dur-ing the early morning and daytime hours. The timers could save the Park Board a large amount of money on the monthly electric bill. “It should mean substan-

tial savings,” Kidder said. In a related issue, Kid-der said students from Four County Career Center indus-trial services program were called in to change over light bulbs in the lighted nativity scene. The nativity scene is one of the largest in the Festival of Lights. The traditional in-candescent light bulbs were replaced with energy-saving light-emitting diodes. Shelters Park board members also discussed two picnic shelters at Woodland Park. Kidder told board mem-bers the Archbold Lions Club had committed to construct-ing a picnic shelter in Wood-land Park. Rotary Club is interested in building a shelter, but only if the board allows it to be called the “Rotary Shel-ter.” Board members did not take a vote on the request, but there was no opposition. Kidder told board mem-bers the church league bas-ketball program is underway with 14 teams– seven teams playing each of two nights. She also said the board scholarship fund, which pays participation fees for fami-lies that cannot afford them, is doing well. The board met in execu-tive session. Stated reason was property issues. Keith Radabaugh and Mo-ses Rodriguez were absent. The next meeting is 8:30 pm, Wednesday, Dec. 14.

Thanksgiving ! What does this word bring to mind;

does it cause us to be thankful for the harvest, thankful for daily blessings of life we often take for granted?

Does the word “thanksgiving” bring to mind the historical account of Pilgrims and Indians sitting down to a feast in late November?

If the latter is the case, then we need to go back to the previous year when the pilgrims almost starved from lack of food and many died from diseases resulting from physical weakness.

We need to realize a formal time to give thanks was planned to give expression to a deep gratitude to God for bringing them through that very difficult winter; for providing a good growing season and a harvest; and lest we forget, the Indian friends who had brought meat to aid their sur - vival.

Giving thanks was an important expression to God, their Indian friends, and one another, for com - munity was important to them and community became even more mean - ingful as they gave thanks together.

Thanksgiving should happen spon - taneously as we realize blessings in daily life.

Then as we consider the history of our lives we can add up the reasons for thanksgiving.

Community has also contributed to our well-being. So, in addition to a spontaneous thanksgiving, there should be a formal time for us to give thanks together and declare a holiday!

Psalm 107 in the Bible is recalling the history of Israel and expresses the role of God in the lives of his people.

The psalm recalls the love, patience and grace of God toward a people who often forgot the source of their life; the source of their people hood and their being a nation.

As the psalmist recalls all this he bursts out with a refrain repeated four times: “Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for men (for us humans).”

The psalm begins with the words, “Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever!”

Yes, let the redeemed of the Lord say this!

“A Chapel Meditation” is brought to you by these community-minded sponsors:

and captivity. Often a symptom of their sinfulness was their neglect of the poor and unfortunate members of society.

This is directly related to an atti - tude of self-sufficiency and feeling that each person needs to be able to help himself.

This attitude of self-sufficiency, refusing responsibility for our fellow man, indicates that one is being unthankful and in denial of receiving help from God and our peers.

It produces an inner greed and rejection of any generosity toward others, a life that is disapproved by others and becomes a hindrance to self.

Yes, Israel had made many mis - takes, suffering the consequences of their sins, but the Lord God redeemed them repeatedly.

We need to acknowledge our mis - takes historically and the con - sequences of our sins, some of which we are currently experiencing.

We live in a world filled with tur - moil and overwhelming troubles. We need to pray for God’s redemptive grace to redeem us; however, let us give thanks for the blessings of God’s grace we have already received.

We are not self-sufficient; we are dependent on community; we are most dependent upon God.

Thanksgiving is necessary and acknowledges the roles of God and others in our lives; thanksgiving expresses appreciation of blessings God and others are to us.

Psalm 100 tells us to: “ Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the Lord is good; his love endures for - ever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.”

Scripture quotations are in bold italics and are from the NIV translation of the Bible.

What is the effect of thanksgiving in the life of a person; in the life of a people; in the life of a nation? Why do you think presidents and kings issue proclamations calling their peo - ple to give thanks?

What is the effect of sincere thanksgiving?

It certainly adds to the graces of life in giving recognition to the fact that I am not self-sufficient; I am dependent on others for so much! I am most dependent on the grace of God!

When we acknowledge this and express our thanks to God and to our fellow humans, it results in character and personality graces that make me and you better persons.

To say we are dependent on the grace of God is to acknowledge that we do not deserve God’s grace, which in itself is defined as undeserved favor and blessing.

Our thanksgiving should take into account that we have been blessed above and beyond anything we have deserved.

When that is true in our attitude, there will be positive change and spiritual growth; relationships to God and to others will improve and become more appreciated.

No wonder there have been calls to Thanksgiving from the earliest days of human life upon the earth.

As we study Psalm 107, we find that the writer speaks about ‘the redeemed.’ His people, in their his - tory had suffered the consequences of sinful living.

They had been called as a special people, a people through whom God wanted to redeem the peoples of the world.

But they had turned their back on God repeatedly, resulting in defeat

From time-to-time, readers ask why editorials published in the Archbold Buckeye are unsigned.

It is the policy of most newspapers in the United States to allow editori-als to stand without signature.

On the editorial page, the Arch-bold Buckeye speaks with one voice.

The idea that spawns an editorial may come from any Buckeye staff member. Before editorials appear, staff members scrutinize editorials for content and clarity. Additions and refi nements are offered, and ideas discussed.

If editorials were signed they would be personal columns, the thoughts and ideas of one person, rather than the Buckeye’s one voice.

Buckeye editorials are not hushed

whispers. They are not grapevine rumors surfacing from dark sources. They are not pieces of gossip.

Compositions on the editorial page are thought-provoking. They are intended to challenge the minds of readers. They are signifi cant essays to motivate citizens to higher ideals, community betterment, and point out wrongdoing.

Readers are encouraged to com-ment and express personal thoughts through letters to the editor. They must meet certain criteria: 300 words or less, free of libel or slan-der, and signed by the author, not a group of authors.

Signed letters give credibility to the source and credibility to the idea. An anonymous letter carries no weight, and even less credibility.

And count your blessings

3751 Co. Road 26, Archbold, OH 43502

Ohioans are losing the abil-ity to monitor their govern-ment as elected offi cials chisel away at public-records laws.

Want to conceal corrup-tion, abuse of power, mis-spending or ineptitude? The General Assembly, the Ohio Supreme Court and several governors have provided a helping hand.

Lawmakers seek to ex-empt more and more public information from disclosure and executive-privilege ex-emptions are invented out of whole cloth.

When these don’t suffi ce, public offi cials have taken to devising legal dodges, such as branding narrow and specifi c records requests as “overly broad.”

The latest assault is a law that caps damages for agen-cies that fail to maintain records in accordance with public-records law.

This virtually rules out lawsuits by capping legal-fees awards at an insuffi cient $10,000 and limiting dam-ages to the same amount. Previously, agencies could be sued for $1,000 per de-stroyed document, with no maximum.

The new law also requires public-records lawsuits to be fi led within fi ve years of a re-cord having been destroyed. So Ohioans who might some day need a record must now be clairvoyant.

Bill Seitz, a state senator, who sponsored the measure, said it was needed to thwart those who set out to profi t from government errors, as when a litigant was awarded $1.4 million because Bucyrus improperly destroyed re-cords by recording over 911 tapes from the 1990s.

But Seitz’s bill is a recipe for cover-up.

Even the dimmest public offi cials can grasp that it’s more advantageous to pay a $10,000 fi ne than to release public records that could get them booted from offi ce or lead to a corruption convic-tion.

Then on Thursday, July 7, the Ohio Supreme Court ruled 7-0 that agencies should face fi nes for destroy-ing records only when the request for the records was

sincere. Those who request destroyed records simply in the hopes of collecting pen-alties from government of-fi cials are “not aggrieved,” Yvette McGee Brown, jus-tice, wrote for the court.

Citizens now have the worst of all worlds: The new law makes it fi nancially pro-hibitive to sue, and the court ruling forces them to prove pure intentions.

Lawmakers should rescind these caps and do so before a scandal can illustrate that this law is deleterious to the public good.

Ohio is moving toward “a total eclipse of the Sunshine Laws,” Trent Dougherty, director of legal affairs for the Ohio Environmental Council, told the Associated Press.

The Sunshine Laws forbid secret meetings and require records be made available for public inspection.

They recognize that gov-ernment workers serve as paid guardians, not owners, of public information, a con-cept that seems to have es-caped offi cials amid other re-cent attempts to clamp down on public access:

• Law-enforcement agen-cies might be allowed to withhold a cruiser’s dash-cam video when it depicts an offi cer’s death, under a bill that Frank LaRose, state senator (R-Akron), is consid-ering.

This ostensibly is intend-ed to spare relatives, but it also could shield evidence of police misbehavior.

• Probation offi cers will be added to the list of law-en-forcement employees whose home addresses are shield-ed, under a bill sent to the governor.

As state fi nancial support declines, offi cials at public universities want exemp-tions, or “relief,” from some parts of the public-records law.

These come on the heels of a 2006 Ohio Supreme Court ruling that invented the qualifi ed gubernatorial-communications privilege for then-governor Bob Taft, seeking to withhold memos amid the Ohio Bureau of

Workers’ Compensation in-vestment scandal.

And in 2005, the Ohio Supreme Court shut down access to state employees’ addresses, concluding they were an “administrative convenience,” not a public record, though news or-ganizations routinely use this information to seek out whistleblowers or to confi rm identities in a tragedy.

In one instance, this in-formation helped determine that two Columbus police narcotics offi cers were own-ers of rental properties being used by drug dealers.

Members of the public routinely seek access to re-cords, but unlike news or-ganizations, they may lack the time and money to sue when records are destroyed or withheld.

People request public records for all sorts of rea-sons: Citizens want to fi ght a rezoning proposal; a small business wants to determine whether government reject-ed its low bid because of po-litical shenanigans; parents seek to check a potential baby sitter for criminal or civil judgments; and block-watch groups might want to evaluate neighborhood crime and police response.

Bret Vinocur, a volun-teer who helps crime vic-tims through BlockParole.com, has fought the parole of more than 40 rapists and murderers.

In April, as he prepared a case against a criminal who murdered an OSU student, Vinocur was denied records

routinely provided in the past.

“The parole board no lon-ger releases Institutional Summary Reports,” an email from the Department of Re-habilitation and Correction informed him.

“Those documents re-vealed all the parole board’s mistakes,” Vinocur said, af-ter learning of the adminis-trative-rule change.

He had successfully used these prison-progress re-ports to prove to the parole board that it had based its decisions on faulty informa-tion:

Inmates were still violent or hadn’t completed training or victim-awareness classes.

“This will almost com-pletely destroy my ability to fi ght these new paroles. This is very bad news for the vic-tims of crime.”

And for other Ohioans who may encounter crimi-nals who should not have been released.

Simply knowing that re-cords can be reviewed tends to discourage improper con-duct.

Access to public records has revealed and helped recover millions of dollars worth of government mis-spending or theft.

Louis Brandeis, who be-came a U.S. Supreme Court justice, put it simply nearly 100 years ago: “Sunlight is said to be the best of disin-fectants.”
