Wayne Traces Jared Sherry #7 finds a little running room inthe first quarter against Kirtland last Friday morning.
By KEVIN WANNEMACHERProgress Sportswriter
CANTON An outstanding season came to a disappointingend for the Wayne Trace football team Friday afternoon asKirtland controlled the line of scrimmage on both sides of the balland posted a 44-16 victory over the Raiders at Fawcett Stadiumin Canton.
The Hornets ran for 410 yards in the contest and outgainedWayne Trace 588-281 overall to claim the Division VI statechampionship with a perfect 15-0 record.
While the Raiders didnt win the state title, head coach BillSpeller is still very proud of his football team.
This is a tremendous group of guys and I wouldnt trade anyone of them for anything, commented the Raider mentor. I amso proud of what this team has accomplished. We had a saying,DECERTO, which is Latin for Fight to the Finish, and we didthat all the way to the state championship game.
Wayne Trace trailed 8-0 after one quarter and the Raiders ral-lied to tie the game in the second quarter.
Taking over at the Kirtland 43, the red, white and blue neededonly three plays to knot the score.
Following an incomplete pass, Jared Sherry was stopped for atwo-yard gain which set up a third and eight at the Hornet 41.
Quarterback Colby Speice then hooked up with Jake Arend ona 41-yard touchdown toss to put the Raiders on the scoreboard atthe 11:08 mark of the period. Speice found Jared Sherry on thetwo-point conversion to make it 8-8.
However, from that point on, the rest of the first half belongedto Kirtland.
The Hornets answered on the ensuing drive.Starting the possession at their own 40, Adam Hess and Sam
Kukura each picked up seven yard runs to move to the Raider 46.After a Kirtland false start moved them back to the Hornet 49,
Hess gained eight yards on first down and followed it up with asix-yard carry to the Raider 37.
A 15-yard gain by Kukura and a two-yard pick up from Hessmoved the Hornets to the 20-yard line. Two plays later, Kirtlandquarterback Sam Skiljan found Kukura for a 15-yard pass to the

EXPLOSION INJURES THREE Shortly before noon Monday, Paulding FireDepartment and two EMS squads were called to the corner of Bayne and Magee streets inBriceton for a reported explosion in a garage. Three individuals were injured; two were trans-ported from the scene via air ambulance. One man was listed Tuesday morning in criticalbut stable condition in the St. Joseph Hospital Burn Unit in Fort Wayne. According to
Sheriff Jason Landers, the men were working on a vehicle gas tank when a salamanderheater ignited and blew up. He speculated that it may have been a flash fire from the fumes.No further details were available at press time.
PAULDING The sec-ond man found guilty of rob-
bing the Rite Aid Pharmacyin Paulding in November2012 was sentencedMonday morning in Paul-ding County Court of Com-mon Pleas.
Jared L. Schibley, 24, of
Woodburn, was ordered toserve four years communitycontrol sanctions for aggra-vated robbery (F2). He mustcomply with standard condi-tions, plus several others.
His 239-day jail sentencehas already been served, ashe was incarcerated for eightmonths prior to his plea inOctober. At that time he wasreleased on a recognizance
bond.Additional conditions of
his sanctions include com-plying with drug and alcoholrestrictions, submitting torandom tests, completingsubstance abuse evaluationand treatment if necessary,
paying restitution of $3,391
to Rite Aid jointly and sever-ally with his co-defendant,obtaining and maintainingemployment and payingcourt costs.
Judge Tiffany Beckmanalso emphasized that any vi-olation of sanction condi-tions will result in a four-
year prison term with theOhio Department ofRehabilitation and Correc-tions.
The State recommendedcommunity control sanc-tions with heavy jail timehanging over his head be-cause although Schibley co-operated with authorities to
piece together the details ofthe robbery, the threat of
prison time would reinforcehis knowing of the weight ofhis offense.
In November, Schibleysco-defendant, Kaz K.Shenfeld, of Harlan, Ind.,was sentenced to a stated
prison term of six years forhis role in the robbery.

Monarch butterfly progress report
or at least letting it growwhere you see it occurringnaturally wont make a differ-ence, because collectively,every single thing we do mat-ters. Remember how the baldeagle was once endangered?Active conservation meas-ures saved it. We can help themonarch too.
Im doing what I can to as-sure that any monarchs thatfly by my little parcel of landwill find a welcoming envi-ronment in which to feed andraise their young. I want mygrandchildren to experiencethis magnificent and miracu-lous creature firsthand, not
just read about it in a book.Read Kylees blog, Our Little
Acre, at www.ourlittleacre.comand on Facebook at www.face-book.com/OurLittleAcre. Con-tact her atPa u ld i ng Pro g res s [email protected].
widespread use of pesticidesand herbicides and the reduc-tion of native prairies, thats
just silly. It just may be themost obvious, because themonarch is so beloved.
Besides being a beautifulcreature, its also the only
butterfly that makes such anepic migration journey to aspecific place where theyhave never ever been beforein their young lives.
The final generation of thesummer somehow knowsright where to go, thousandsof miles away, and when. Ge-netically, theyre no differentthan their parents and grand-
parents, yet from the momentthey emerge from their emer-ald chrysalides in the fall, itstheir mission, and necessary
for survival.Dont think that you cant
help, that planting milkweed
Earlier this year, I men-tioned the plight of themonarch butterflies. I encour-aged you to plant more milk-weed in your gardens and toconsider not cutting it down.Apparently, some of you tookit to heart, as I had severalpeople stop me when I wasout and about and tell metheyd planted some. I alsonoticed several roadsideswhere milkweed is now dis-persing its cottony seed.Mother Nature is doing herpart, too.
Please dont stop. The re-ports are coming in from theoverwintering sites in Mex-ico, where most of the mon-
archs east of the Rockies havenow arrived and the news isnot good.
The numbers are lowerthan ever, dropping from anaverage of 350 million to 60million. The colonies wherethey congregate normallytake up a space of about 52acres but they now only oc-cupy a little less than threeacres. THREE.
One of the biggest causesfor this is last years droughtin the heartland that deci-mated the largest area of na-tive milkweed (Asclepias
spp.), the only plant genusthat their larvae eat. But, themonarchs have been on thedecline for many years now.Purposeful destruction of nat-ural prairie areas and roadsidespraying and mowing are tak-ing a big toll as well.
Some have expressed thatthey feel this may be the be-ginning of the end of thisbeautiful, miraculous crea-ture. I hope and pray it isntso, but the situation is trulydire. Ive asked myself -would it matter if themonarch butterfly became
extinct? Species disappear allthe time and life goes on,right?
In science class, we weretaught that for every action,there is an opposite and equalreaction. And everything wedo to disrupt the natural waysof the environment has con-sequences. Some are majorand some are minor. Its true,the world would not stopspinning if the monarch but-terfly were no more. But thisevent (or non-event?) hasbeen called a canary in a coalmine.
If we think that themonarch butterflies are theonly things affected by the
Monarchwatch.org is waging a campaign to encourage plant-ing milkweed to help bolster monarch populations. See theirwebsite for ways you can help.

Oakwood and Paulding namedHigh Progress Schools of Honor
PAULDING Both Paulding Elementaryand Oakwood Elementary schools have beennamed a High Progress School of Honor,
based on their 2012-13 local report card.Paulding Exempted Village School Districtsuperintendent William Hanak made the an-nouncement Thursday afternoon.
What awesome news for PEVS from theODE (Ohio Department of Education),Hanak said. I can only say how
proud and honored I am to bearound such greatness!
In a letter sent to bothschools, Dr. Richard A.Ross, superintendent of
public instruction forODE, said that to become
a High Progress School ofHonor, a building must first be aTitle 1 or Title 1-eligible schools withat least 40 percent of its students eligible forfree and reduced-price meals.
In addition, these schools must rank in thetop 10 percent for gains in proficiency, or ifhigh schools, in the top 10 percent in gradua-tion rates.
Finally, High Progress Schools of Honormust have an annual measurable objectivesgrade of C or higher and have met or exceededOhios value-added measure for the last threeyears.
Clearly your school is doing whatever ittakes to make sure that your students from all
backgrounds have the opportunity to achieve
academically. This makes you an outstandingexample of what is possible when students,educators, parents and community memberswork together believing that all students cansucceed, Ross wrote.
Please share my thanks with all of thosewho contributed to your schools success. Ihope you will share your strategies generously
with other Ohio schools.In the coming weeks, the ODE will be send-
ing Oakwood and Paulding Elementary aSchool of Honor banner to display in their
buildings.More than three dozen Ohio schools were
recognized Thursday by the Ohio Departmentof Education for improving academic achieve-
ment among their students.High Progress Schools of
Honor establish an educationalgoal for their students and
continue to pursue andexceed that goal eachyear, said Ross. The
principals, teachers, par-ents and community
members provide a high-quality education and believe
that children can overcome signifi-cant challenges, and that they can learn.
Paulding Elementary principal StephanieTear said, I am absolutely thrilled. The staffand students work hard every day and this is
just one little piece of evidence of how hardthey work and how well they work together.
Oakwood principal Jennifer Manz com-mented, I am very proud of the staff and stu-dents here at Oakwood. This honor measuresthe ability and growth of children. We see andwe are all proud that they are growing.
The Schools of Promise award program rec-ognizes schools attaining solid studentachievement in reading and mathematics
while serving a significant number of econom-ically disadvantaged students.As an incentive to help close achievement
gaps in Ohio, the Ohio Department of Educa-tion developed the Schools of Promise pro-gram to identify, recognize and highlightschools that are making substantial progressin ensuring high achievement for all students.
Four-school project recommendedfor $1.5 million state grant award
PAULDING Paulding
Exempted Village Schoolssuperintendent WilliamHanak announced that he hadreceived a personal call onFriday from Dr. Ross, the su-
perintendent of Public In-struction in the State of Ohio,that the the Straight A Fund
board had voted to distributeapproximately $88 million inawards from the education in-novation program to severalschools, including PEVS.
This means about$700,000 for PEVS, Hanaksaid. Cortney Rethmel didthe work. We worked with
Wayne Trace, Crestview andLincolnview. The grant totalwas $1.57 million.
Wayne Trace, Crestviewand Lincolnview worked onthe grant writing as well, andalso will receive portions ofthe grant.
Hanak added, This is awe-some news and puts us inwith a very select group in thestate.
The Straight A Fund boardmet Friday morning, Dec. 6 atthe Ohio Department of Edu-cation (ODE) to discuss theapplications and make rec-
ommendations on the appli-cants selected for funding.The Ohio Controlling Boardwill give final approval onDec. 16.
Straight A Fund grants pro-vide seed money for the mostcreative and forward-thinkingideas coming from educatorsand their partners in the pub-lic and private sectors. Thefund will allow local educa-tors to pursue three goals:
significant advancementin raising student achieve-ment;
significant advancement
in reducing spending; and
significant advancement
in targeting more resources tothe classroom.
According to the ODEwebsite, PEVS, along withCrestview, Lincolnview andWayne Trace, were given ap-
proval for a project titledBeyond the Classroom.
The project descriptionreads: Beyond the Class-room is designed to provide acontinuum of online learningopportunities for students ingrades 7-12. The goals are toincrease student achievementand provide a greater share ofresources directly in the
classroom; provide profes-sional development for teach-ers onflipped-classroom/blendedlearning strategies through di-rect professional develop-ment instruction and
professional learning com-munities; and hold a BusinessSymposium to bridge the gap
between local businesses andschools by providing a forumand website to establish in-ternships and shadowing ex-
periences in the community.Beyond the Classroom
will reduce spending on in-
structional resources by re-taining post-secondary,online learners and credit re-covery students, and by re-ducing major capitalexpenditures in the next fiveyears.
Rethmel explained that theproject is to get the middleschool and high school stu-dents prepared for collegeand career ready. All four ofthe schools have partneredwith Northwest State Collegeand will offer college coursesin the high schools.
Other partners are Western
Buckeye ESC, Northwest
Ohio Educational TechnologyFoundation, Paulding CountyCarnegie Library, VantageCareer Center, PauldingCounty Economic Develop-ment, Van Wert EconomicAdvisory Group, PauldingKiwanis Club and Van WertChamber of Commerce.
A business symposium isbeing planned by the fourschools, which they will hosttogether. This will connectstudents and businesses in the
job market.Rethmel indicated that
plans for shadowing in thebusiness field are being con-
sidered.Each grant application was
first rated by three of approx-imately 230 independent fis-cal scorers selected by theDepartment of Administra-tive Services. From the origi-nal pool of 570 applications,359 were approved as sus-tainable and promoted to thenext step of the rating
process.Then, each application was
rated by three of approxi-mately 230 independent pro-grammatic scorers selected
by the Department of Admin-
istrative Services to deter-mine if the proposal wasinnovative, had substantialvalue and lasting impact.
The $250 million StraightA Fund was created in thenew state budget signed thissummer by Gov. John R. Ka-sich. In all, 420 organizationssubmitted 570 applications to
be considered for funds to im-prove achievement and in-crease efficiency. Theapplicants requested nearly$868 million. The board willaward $100 million in 2014with $150 million available in
fiscal year 2015.
Oakwood Council discusseswater/sewer rate increases
By BILL SHERRYCorrespondent
OAKWOOD Oakwood Village Councilmet on Dec. 9 and spent the majority of timediscussing the proposed water/sewer rate in-crease for village residents, property ownersand businesses.
Mayor Bud Henke noted at the onset of thediscussion of the water/sewer rates that therehad not been a rate increase for the villagesince July 2002. Henke explained, If we had
been raising water rates on a regular basis thiswould not be such a hard problem to dealwith.
At the Aug. 12, meeting council was ad-vised by the State of Ohio Financial Auditorthat there had been some deficit spending re-lated to the village water account for sometime. This was highlighted in the recent Stateof Ohio Financial Audit and the village wastold by the auditor to get the situation re-solved.
Henke noted that so far in 2013 the villagewater department was spending about $900more per month than it was receiving.
He provided council with some preliminarycalculations that demonstrated that it wouldtake a 23% increase in customer water cost tocatch up and break even with the cost to pro-duce and distribute the water.
Henke also said that the cost of a water tapnow exceeded the price charged theresident/customer so this also needed to beevaluated.
Henke reported that some of the recent coststo repair and maintain the village wells had
been taken from capital accounts. This hadbeen noted by the auditor, but he did not dis-approve.
With a tremendous amount of work andnumber crunching Henke was able to con-clude that the village could operate thewater/sewer system without deficit spendingand satisfy the State of Ohio Financial Auditorwith an immediate twenty percent increase in
rates followed by a three percent yearly in-crease over the next five years.
There was extensive discussion and therewere a few minor changes made to the motionconcerning increasing the water/sewer rateswhich resulted in the item being tabled untilthe next council meeting.
Council unanimously approved paying thedues to belong to the Paulding County EconomicDevelopment Association.
The mayor advised council that the appropri-ations must be approved at the next councilmeeting so the various budgets can be finalized.
Police Chief Mark Figert provided councilwith the police calls report for October. Theywere theft (1), miscellaneous (3), assist EMSdept. (2), domestic (1), keys locked in vehicle(2), criminal mischief (1) and keep the peace(2). A total of 12 incidents were reported andcleared for the month of October. Figertnoted that this report would have normally
been provided at the end of November meet-ing which had been canceled.
The next meeting is scheduled for 6:30 p.m.on December 23, 2013 in the village councilchamber.

A CHICKEN IN EVERY POT?Have you ever thought
what you would do with themoney if you won the lottery,Publishers Clearing House orget some kind of windfall ofmoney? Money has always
been influential and plays animportant part in our lives. Italways has and always will.
How times have changed.Yes, money is still right at thetop of the list of what we allwant more of, however, thequestion arises, Just howmuch money do we need? Ihave to remember, too, thatwants and needs are two sep-arate things.
Going back to many yearsago, when we first went tohousekeeping (old term), ifmy husband brought home$80 a week, we were veryhappy and proud. To us thatwas good money. I also re-member when minimumwage was 65 cents an hourand I worked for it, plus I washappy to get it.
I remember during thoseearly years of spending $10 a
week for groceries and stilleating good meals. Of course,
we did not have a lot of thefrozen foods we have todayand almost everything wasmade from scratch. Our rentwas also cheap and eventhough things seemed priceyduring that time, I can see thatthey really werent.
We also had two little girlswho you would think wouldtake lots of money, but, weused cloth diapers back thenand did not even know aboutdisposable ones. Of course,during that time, we alwayswanted and would have likedto have had more money, but Iwill say this, We were really
blessed.A lot of things have changed
through the years. We havebecame a nation of technol-ogy, nuclear power X-boxes,iPods and satellites.
We can communicate andsee breaking news as it hap-
pens and instead of everyonehaving a chicken in every pot,we have computers, multipleTV sets, electronic games and
cell phones in every house-hold. Of course these all seem
like necessities in todaysworld, at least I think so, but itall adds up to how muchmoney we really need.
I know it takes money togive ourselves the best thingsin life. But, ask yourself,What do I have that I cancount that doesnt takemoney? When you get donecounting, you will feel rich.
We have air to breathe, life,health, family, friends, and welive in a free country wherewe can practice our own faithwithout fear. These are a fewthings that money cant buy.
However, I do remember myold grandpa saying, The loveof money is the root of all evil,
but Id sure like to have a root.Do you remember when
minimum wage was below adollar? Did you ever spendless than $10 for groceries?How many things can youcount that you have thatmoney cant buy? Let meknow and Ill give you aPenny for Your Thoughts.
A Penny ForYour Thoughts....B : Nanc Wh itaker
Birding through the eyes of a childBy Mark HoltsberryEducation specialist
Paulding SWCDYou never know what will turn a young per-
son on to nature and the out-of-doors. It issomething that cant be forced, only encour-aged. Here are four simple suggestions for get-ting young people interested in birding.
1. Begin without binoculars. Look outyour window or visit a nature center. (I knowwhere one is located.) Allowing them to fill
bird feeders with seed will also create interest
and make the experience memorable.2. Have a simple bird identification book on
hand. Dont be too quick to name a particularbird for a child, let them ask first. That will helpthem build curiosity. Look up birds in the booktogether, showing them how to use the guide.
3. Keep it short and fun. Young childrenwith short attention spans may only be inter-ested in watching birds for a few minutes be-fore they are off doing something else. If they
enjoyed the experience, theyll be back.4. Heading outdoors. Once kids are a little
older and continue to show interest in birding,it may be time to introduce them to binocularsand take them outside to watch birds at a parkor a wildlife center, like The Nature Center.Just make sure the binoculars you give themfit their face and are simple and easy to use.
It seems that young people today have fewerand fewer opportunities to be outdoors. There area myriad of reasons why, but I am guessingtheres a young person you know who would
jump at the chance to go birding, camping, hik-ing etc.
Could you be that special someone in ayoung persons life? It could all begin at theBlack Swamp Nature Center. As the end of theyear approaches, would you please consider ayear end giving of a donation to help finish thecost of the paving project?
We have $1,200 yet to raise. What a way todonate. Happy Holidays.

Vantage solar array is deemed a successBy LINDSAY McCOY
DHI CorrespondentVAN WERT - Vantage Ca-
reer Center held a short boardof education meeting Thurs-day, Dec. 5 where they saidgoodbye to at least two boardmembers who will not be re-turning in 2014. The board
also held its annual holidaydinner in appreciation of the
work put into the district byVantage board members eachyear.
Treasurer Lori Davis beganthe meeting with a summaryof the districts finances, in-cluding an appropriation in-crease of $40,000 for themaintenance fund.
Board members also ap-proved an agreement with theOhio Attorney Generals Of-fice for debt collection. Debtcollection can be completedfor the adult education de-
partment at no cost to the dis-trict.
Collections will all bemoney we didnt have be-fore, noted Davis.
Davis also touched uponadditional savings providedto the district via its solararray. A report showed thatthe array saves the district anaverage of $5,085 monthly
and is expected to save$65,000 a year.
Davis said she believes thesolar array was a good invest-
ment to make, although su-perintendent Staci Kaufmannoted that the amount of sav-ings will fluctuate due to theamount of solar energyneeded. Currently, the array is
producing 68-72 percent ofthe facilitys energy.
Davis has already begunlooking into the price andvalue of energy that is over-generated by the districtsarray. The array has beenmarked a success to date andwill continue to be watchedclosely over the first 12-month period of energy gen-eration.
Kaufman reviewed thelong list of policy changesand revisions of the board
policies and the effects theywill have on the district. Forexample, an anti-harassment
policy change states that a dis-trict must now have two staff
members one male, one fe-male in the school to hear ha-rassment claims from students.Sexual identity and transgender
topics will also be included inschool policy.
Vantage will be includingstudent growth within teacherevaluation by administrationand management. A revisionhas changed the proficient rat-ing for school grade cards toskilled. The district will also
participate in a districtwidewellness program to overseethe wellness of the building. Areport will be presented to thesuperintendent annually.
A first reading of the policychanges was approved by the
board.The board heard that 13
students gained Blue Chipperstatus for the first quarter(perfect attendance for the
nine-week period and a 4.0gpa) and that 18 students will
be inducted into the NationalTechnical Honor Society onDec. 10.
Contracts were approvedfor Jo Mohr as fruit sale coor-dinator and Edward Klausingas adult education instructorassistant.
A resolution was approvedto purchase one bus from Car-dinal Bus Sales with trade-inand discounts for a cost of$84,852.
The next meeting will beheld at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Jan.15 in the district conferenceroom following the tax budgethearing and organizationalmeeting.

QUESTION: Do you haveany suggestions for how Ican help a good friendwhose husband just died?Id like to support her inany way we can, especiallyduring the holidays.
JIM: What a grieving per-
son often needs most is thepresence of a thoughtfulfriend. One of the best thingsyou can do is to listen andallow her to talk. If you wantto express something, itsenough to say you care andthat youre sorry. Explana-tions seldom console and ad-vice is rarely helpful.
She may be angry as wellas sad and needs to acknowl-edge, express and deal withthese feelings. If it seems ap-propriate, dont be afraid toencourage a good cry. And bepatient, grief is a complicatedprocess that can take a longtime to work itself out. Asyou have opportunity, urgeher to take care of herself bygetting enough exercise, restand recreation.
Practically speaking, youcan make yourself availableto help with daily chores andnecessities. If youre runningan errand, call and ask iftheres anything you can pickup for her. If she has children,offer to baby-sit and go out ofyour way to give them specialattention. Remember thattheyre grieving too.
Above all, dont avoid your
friend. Write notes to her dur-ing especially difficult times,such as holidays and birth-days and anniversaries. Youllfind that a phone call or an in-vitation to lunch could makeher day. And if she needs afamily for the holidays, askher to join yours.
In the midst of all this, keepa watchful eye on your friendand make sure that shesworking through her grief in
a healthy way. Watch for neg-ative warning signs like ex-cessive sleeping or drug andalcohol abuse. If you thinkshe needs grief counseling,dont hesitate to suggest it.QUESTION: Over the pastfew months, Ive noticed
that I interpret my hus-bands behavior in a muchmore negative light. Everylittle thing he does bothersme. Does familiarity reallybreed contempt?
DR. GREG SMALLEY,vice president, Family Min-istries: The assumptions wemake about our spouse candetermine the level of happi-ness we experience in mar-riage. When two people getfrustrated with one another,
but the issue is not dealt with,the tendency is for each per-son to develop his or her ownconclusion about why the
problem is happening. This iswhat is known as negative
beliefs. In other words, ahusband or wife interprets the
behavior of his or her spouseto be much more negativethan the spouse intended.Whatever you believe aboutanother person (positive ornegative), you will find evi-dence of that belief in every-thing he or she says or does.
To fight negative thinking,its important for couples togive each other the benefit ofthe doubt and to be aware ofwhat their mates do that is
positive and respond accord-ingly. Your spouse is alreadydoing some positive things,
but you may not be totallyaware of them. Try to noticethings your husband alreadydoes that please you. This willforce you to break through the
barriers that obstruct your vi-sion of his good deeds.
Im not advocating unrealis-tic, Pollyanna thinking. Wecant sit around hoping that our
By Jim Daly
mate will change truly negativebehaviors. However, there canbe great freedom in consider-ing that your husbands mo-tives, even in those things thatannoy you, are more positivethan you might have previ-ously acknowledged.
Winning the Battle for a GenerationBy Rick Jones
exec. director, DefianceArea Youth for Christ
Do you know someone who is lonely?The Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons can
often be times of loneliness for many. Lonelinessthough not a seasonal thing, is often exacerbated
by times when people do get together and thisupcoming Christmas season is no different.
Many people struggle with loneliness from the rich and famous to the poor and un-known. Heres a list of some famous people who
have been honest about their loneliness:Oscar-winning actress Anne Hathaway con-
fessed, Loneliness is my least favorite thingabout life. The thing that Im most worried aboutis just being alone without anybody to care foror someone who will care for me.
Joss Whedon, director of the movie TheAvengers, said, Loneliness is about the scariestthing out there.
Scientist Albert Einstein wrote, It is strangeto be known so universally, and yet to be so
lonely.Writer Ernest Hemingway wrote, I live in a
vacuum that is as lonely as a radio tube when thebatteries are dead and there is no current to pluginto.
Marilyn Monroe said, Sometimes I thinkthe only people who stay with me and really lis-ten are people I hire, people I pay.
Lets all do our best this Christmas to helpthose who suffer from loneliness, lets include alonely heart at our table, in our conversation orin some creative and caring way, may we fill a
lonely heart with love, laughter and life.Lets also remember for the believer the prom-
ise of Jesus to be with us no matter where we goor end up; Matthew 28:20 (NIV) And surelyI am with you always, to the very end of theage.
