Most Wednesday afternoons during the school year, a group of 2nd-4th grade students from Celina West Elementary met with their High School Bigs from area high schools. This group of Bigs and Littles is part of the Big Brothers Big Sisters Buddies program. The Buddies program just concluded its activities for this school year.

During their time together the groups would work on homework, have a snack, play games, and do other activities. This year they focused on multicultural appreciation, safety, and being healthy. They also had several guest speakers come in throughout

the year. The leader of this group was

Nancy Eberle. She said that she will always remember the excitement of the Littles and the sparkle in their eyes when the Bigs would walk in. Some of the Bigs had favorite memories, too. One said this gave her the chance to be a part of a child’s life that needed her. Others said that they enjoyed watching the Littles grow and having fun with the Littles. The Littles were also asked about their experience. One mentioned that having her Big was the greatest thing that has ever happened to her. Others mentioned that they liked how helpful their

Bigs were and having fun with their Bigs.

Big Brothers Big Sisters would like to thank the following for

helping to make the Buddies program possible: CAPT, Cargill, Celina & Mercer County

Buddies Program Wraps Up

Written by Skeet Wolters

Memorial Day brings back memories of my time spent at the Harbor Point 4-H Camp, east of Celina, where I served as the County 4-H Program Assistant. To this day campers and staff sleep in the very buildings that housed the 70 American soldiers the summer of 1944. American GIs guarded the 300 German prisoners of war once they arrived by train from New Orleans, La.

The prisoners resided in tents placed in rows in the middle of the camp and were surrounded by the cabins. They took their meals in the dinning hall where the same silverware and other items 4-H’ers used were engraved with US army. Cots, green wool blankets and other left over supplies were utilized by campers in the 70’s and 80’s

My late Uncle Charlie Dock, a Coldwater native and long time Englewood resident, served as a medic at the camp along with a

German medic named “Hans.” The two became friends and corresponded for a few years. He said the German prisoners were just as “docile as lambs.” “They were nice guys and we had good rapport with those people.” They were young men around 17-18 years of age and although they preferred to be in Germany, they accepted their time in Mercer County. Uncle Charlie commented that there was no need for high fences and

barbed wire as the POWs knew they were well cared for and had no desire to escape.

The plan was for the soldiers to work in the agricultural field, as the area was short on workers because our young men were serving over seas in the war. A Daily Standard article reported on July 8, 1944: “Officials of Crampton Canneries Inc. of Celina and Beckman and

Gast of St. Henry said that should the prisoners be brought here, they would use them.” They were paid 80 cents per day and received 10 cents per day when they were not working. Locals remembered watching the POW’s being transported on the beds of Army trucks to their work sites. They were described as “good looking young men.” The POW’s returned to Germany in October of 1944. The camp was returned to the 4-H’ers and is still being used as a 4-H Camp for local youth each June.

Charlie Dock admitted that his was an easy job as a medic and he was able to hitchhike home to Coldwater to spend the night and return the next morning via the same routine. This is almost impossible to imagine these days. He never made a big deal out of this time at the POW camp but I feel it is important to remember and thank our members of the armed forces each Memorial Day. Especially as our country is at war and we have many local young men and women serving for our freedom. Thank you.

Ten Behavior Myths in DogsThis is the second in a series on behavior problems. It is always best to consult your

veterinarian first when an aggressive or worrisome behavior is being exhibited by your pet. I want a medication to treat my dog’s behavior problems. Medications are alone not the answer to a pet’s behavior problems. Medications can

play an important role in the treatment of a behavior problem but only if used as a part of a complete treatment plan. Medications do not solve the problem completely. Behavior modification and environmental modification are necessary to achieve long-term lasting improvements. Some medications have been shown to increase the speed of which these modifications take effect, but are only considered another useful tool in treating the behavior problem, not the remedy.

Aggressive dogs are only acting dominant.Some dogs may truly exhibit dominance aggression; these instances are more popular

with the social media and are much rarer than they want you to believe. Dominance theories are outdated, and they result in confrontational styles of training. The styles of training are based on the mistaken belief that owners have to physically dominate their dogs. This type of training is dangerous and usually ineffective. It has resulted in damage to the human-animal bond more than success. Dogs with aggression problems are usually anxious or afraid. They usually respond well to reward based training under the supervision of a qualified person.

My pet gets angry with me and knows what he did wrong.Dogs do not eliminate on the floor or destroy things out of spite. The likely cause is

anxiety or lack of exercise or stimulation. Many dogs show submissive behavior when their owners come home. Tucking the tail, lowering the ears, avoiding eye contact, and slinking away are not signs your pet is saying they are “sorry.” They mean that the dog has learned that you are angry and associates your return home with the presence of feces, garbage, or destroyed items on the floor. The dog is not angry but afraid. That is because in the past when you arrived home to these things, you yelled at or hit. Even if you did not do these things, the angry body language you exhibit is clear to the dog. The dog still learns to feel fear when people arrive. When you punish your pet in these circumstances, it does not teach your pet anything. The dog is incapable of associating any punishment with the behavior he performed minutes or hours before.

Your 401(k) offers tax-deductible contributions, tax-deferred growth of earnings potential and a variety of investment options — so it’s a great tool for building retirement savings. Yet like all tools, your 401(k) must be used properly to get the best results. That’s why you should review your 401(k) at least annually and make whatever adjustments are needed.

Depending on where you work, you may get some 401(k) review help from your plan provider. But if that assistance isn’t available, you might want to consult with a financial professional to make sure you’re getting the maximum benefit from your plan.

As you begin to review your 401(k), your first question should probably be this:

“How much should I contribute?” At the very least, try to put in enough to receive your employer’s matching contribution, if one is offered. If you don’t earn this match, you are essentially walking away from “free money.” Beyond this, though, the amount you put into your 401(k) might depend on what other retirement savings vehicles you have available. For instance, if you’re eligible, you may also want to contribute to a Roth IRA, which offers tax-free growth potential, provided you’ve had your account for five years and don’t start taking withdrawals until you’re 59½.

Of course, it’s not only how much you put into your 401(k) that determines its success — it’s also how you choose to allocate your investment dollars. (Keep in mind that asset allocation does not guarantee a profit or protect against loss.) Your 401(k) may have a dozen or more investment choices, such as stock funds, bond funds and money market funds. To choose the right investment mix, you’ll need to consider a variety of factors, including these:

• Your age — Generally speaking, the younger you are, the more aggressive you can afford to be with your 401(k) investments, because you’ll have decades in which to potentially overcome the inevitable down periods of the market. As you get older, you may wish to invest somewhat more conservatively, but you’ll still need some growth potential in your 401(k) portfolio.

• Your goals — Everyone has different goals for retirement. You might want to retire early and travel the world, while your co-worker desires to work as long as possible and then, upon retirement, stay close to home and pursue hobbies. Because you each have different goals, with different income needs, you also may need to follow different investment strategies within your 401(k).

• Your other retirement income sources — If you have a variety of retirement income sources — a pension from another job, an IRA, a spouse with generous retirement benefits — you may need to invest differently, perhaps less aggressively, than if you had fewer options for retirement income.

Apart from putting away as much as you can into your 401(k) and choosing the right investment mix, what else can you do to get the most out of your plan? Here’s a suggestion: If you have worked at various jobs and acquired multiple 401(k)s, consider rolling them over into one account. You might save money on fees and reduce paperwork, but more importantly, you’ll be able to concentrate your resources and pursue a unified investment approach, with your investment dollars working together toward your ultimate retirement goals.

As you can see, a 401(k) review and rollover can reward you in many ways — so do whatever it takes to maximize your 401(k)’s performance.

Now that another school year is drawing to a close, your young children are a step closer to the day when they’ll be heading off to college. Of course, as you’re probably aware, higher education doesn’t come cheap — and the costs seem to continuously climb. You can help your children — or even your grandchildren — meet these expenses by investing in a 529 plan. And this college savings vehicle offers estate-planning benefits.

As a college funding vehicle, a 529 plan offers some significant benefits. When you contribute to a 529 plan, your earnings accumulate tax free, provided they are used for qualified higher education expenses. (Keep in mind, though, that 529 plan distributions not used for qualified expenses may be subject to federal and state income tax and a 10% IRS penalty.) Furthermore, your 529 plan contributions may be deductible from your state taxes. However, 529 plans vary, so be sure to check with your tax advisor. And the lifetime contribution limits for 529 plans are quite generous; while these limits vary by state, many plans allow contributions well in excess of $200,000. Plus, a 529 plan is flexible: If the child, grandchild or other beneficiary decides against college, you can transfer the unused funds to someone else, tax and penalty free.

Now, let’s turn to a 529 plan’s estate-planning benefits. If you think that you may need to reduce the size of your taxable estate, and you also want to create a legacy you may be able to enjoy during your lifetime, you may find that the 529 plan offers a solution for you. When you establish and contribute to a 529 plan, the assets leave your estate — but they don’t leave your control. If your named beneficiary decides against college and you don’t have another family member to whom you can transfer the account — or if you simply change your mind about funding the 529 plan — you can get your money back at any time, although, as mentioned above, you’ll have to pay taxes, and possibly a 10% IRS penalty, on the earnings.

Your contributions to a 529 plan also qualify for the $13,000 annual gift tax exclusion, so you can give large amounts each year without incurring the gift tax.

In the investment world, you can find many vehicles that can help you make progress toward one goal. But it’s far less common to find something that may give you a boost toward two. And when the two goals are helping a child or grandchild go to college and lowering the value of your taxable estate — while still maintaining control of your assets — you’ve got an investment worth considering. So consult with your tax and financial advisors to determine if a 529 plan is right for you. And if it is, think about taking action soon, because the more years you can contribute to a 529 plan, the better the outlook for both your future student and your estate plans

Another school year is about finished and soon there will be many more people looking for work. Lets hope they find a decent job with decent pay. It seems to be getting harder and harder to find work just out of high school. And with the high cost of college today making it harder to get into college that will also add to the work force looking for work. The recent increase in tuition is pre-venting many kids from even considering going to college. In a presidential year one would think the candidates would be looking into lack of jobs available for the graduates of this school year. Unemployment rates are still too high and no one seems interested in talking much about it. I am not sure any President, be he Democrat or republican, is going to solve the unemployment problems that we have today. I feel as though there are just too many jobs leaving the U.S. to foreign countries. I only wish I had the knowledge to solve this problem but I don’t. The Presidential candidate that can come up with the ways to stop this would surely be elected hands down.

We could really use some rain. I don’t mean three or four inches in a couple hours. Just a nice easy rain for about a day and a half and give it time to soak in the ground. Don’t need any gully washers! The corn is looking good and it just needs rain and some warm weather. I guess we just have to take what the good Lord gives us and be thankful for it.

Questions of the week; what is happening to Grand Lake? It is brown on the surface now and no one seems to know what is happening. How did the Alum treatments go? Been thinking about doing some crappie fishing but I am not sure if I really want to. It’s a really hard decision to make. I will have to give it some serious thought and see what is best. you all be good out there and stay safe. Be sure and lock your doors when you are out of the house.

That’s My Opinion........What’s yours???

The Most Scenic Drives in America—A PAST FAVORITE By: Reader’s Digest

Reviewed by: Georgia Rindler

reader’s Digest has put

together an extensive travel guide of 120 memorable road trips throughout the United States. Divided into four geographical regions, there are breathtaking routes to explore in all 50 states. Each drive has astounding photos, up to date tourist information, and maps drawn especially for the book. Trip Tips sections include mileage, best travel season, nearby attractions, plus who to contact for additional information on the area. rather than major excursions, these are day trips of not to be

missed roadways of spectacular countryside. In addition to highlighting fascinating facts about wildlife, foods and local customs the guide provides suggested side trips that are shorter. While interstate travel is undoubtedly the fastest and best way to move large amounts of traffic, it is not always the most picturesque. The Most Scenic Drives in America takes you off the beaten path to some magnificent panoramas in our nation. I am fortunate to have been on some of these routes and can attest that they are awe inspiring. With summer vacation time approaching, why not take advantage of what Mother Nature has given us? Looking for a short get away? There are several within a day’s drive. If something across the nation is in your travel plans, be sure to check out this book. These routes are something you don’t want to miss if you have the opportunity to visit one of the areas highlighted. The Most Scenic Drives in America is catalogued under 917.304 MOS. The library also has many travel books on cities, specific regions and travel destinations. These can be found in that same 917 section on the nonfiction shelves. If you’re not sure where to look, ask at the desk. We’ll be happy to point you in the right direction.

On May 3rd and 4th the Parkway FFA chapter went to the State FFA convention. At the convention, one member from the Parkway FFA chapter, made it to the finals in the proficiency award area of Specialty Crop Production.

Kylie Snyder, a junior, placed 4th in the state of Ohio in her SAE. SAE stands for Supervised Agriculture Event. The fi-nals began early Thursday morning with an intense interview, by a panel consisting of three judges. She had to keep record of all her mum sales and how much money she made through her business. She also had to make a display to set up at conven-tion, so that members and guest could see all the hard work she has put into her SAE.

Kylie earned this award by raising and selling mums. Throughout the summer she plants, waters, pulls weeds, and fertil-izes mums, that are to be sold during the fall. In total, she has raise and sold around 850 mums. She is going to continue her work this summer with a goal of selling 500 mums. They come in a variety of col-ors as well as a variety of pot sizes.

The prices depend on the size of pot. $5 for an 8”, $10 for a 12”, $15 for hang-ing baskets, and decorative pots that rang-es from $20-$25, depending on the size. The colors vary from red, orange, and yel-low to pinks, purples, and muti-colored mums.

The Parkway FFA Chapter would like to congratulate Kylie on her hard work and success with her mums and wishes her luck for next year.

Celina Couple Receives Albert HecklerAward from Cheryl Ann Programs

Louis and Dorothy Hoyng never imagined that they’d be-come involved with Cheryl Ann Programs.

They were raising three happy, healthy boys in their Celinahome. Louie operated his custom upholstery shop next door,and Dorothy worked in the high school cafeteria. They were atypical family.

Then a very atypical thing happened. Their middle son,Brian, was struck by lightning in 1981 when he was 16. Withthat bolt out of the blue, the Hoyngs’ lives changed forever.

The odds of being struck by lightning are one in 280,000,but the Hoyngs couldn’t afford to spend much time thinkingabout their terrible luck. They had a son who needed themmore than he ever had. The first years after Brian’s accident,which left him with severe disabilities, were very difficult,they said, as they searched for someone who could help themhelp Brian.

Their school district helped as much as it could.Finally, then-Superintendent Ralph Stelzer recommended a place the Hoyngsknew about but had never visited as parents: Cheryl Ann.“Cheryl Ann was the best thing that ever happened to us,”Louie Hoyng said. “It gave Brian his life back.”

The people of Cheryl Ann helped Brian with his everydaylife. They gave him a place to go and jobs to do. He made newfriends, and enjoyed everything about his experiences there,up to and including the bus ride out to Mud Pike.

“When he would see Sam Morden (his bus aide) he wouldjust smile, and the people in Adult Day Services really knewhow to make him laugh,” Dorothy Hoyng said.

It wasn’t long before the Hoyngs were finding ways to re-pay Cheryl Ann for its help. They were regular volunteers.

Louie Hoyng completed upholstery jobs for the uniqueequipment used at Cheryl Ann, and often, said SuperintendentMike Overman, “Louie would forget to send us a bill.” Healso served a term on the county MRDD board and was theboard president.

For all that, and for their tireless advocacy on behalf oftheir son, the Hoyngs received the Albert Heckler Award at

the staff appreciation banquet in March. The award is giveneach year to a Cheryl Ann family that exemplifies service andadvocacy.

“The Hoyngs both served as good examples of first-rateadvocates for their son,” Overman said. “They rarely evermissed a day spending time with him, and they always spokeup to be sure his needs were being met. They were really spe-cial parents for Brian, and really good supporters of our pro-gram.”

Brian Hoyng died in February 2008 at the age of 43. In theyears after the lightning strike he taught his family a lot aboutpatience, hope, endurance and acceptance. He introduced theHoyngs to a world they had only seen from the outside—but itwas a world where they found welcome and acceptance.

“We met some wonderful people during our years at CherylAnn,” Dorothy Hoyng said. “They worked their hearts outhelping us with Brian.”

Celina Rotary Dog Park Dedicated

BY: BETTY LOU DENNEY/HALL Opening day at the Celina Rotary Dog Park received

rave revues from the dogs. As the gates opened for the firsttime on Tuesday May 12, dogs of all sizes were seen mak-ing their way to the park to get a chance to run in over 3acres of wide open spaces of the chain-linked fenced inarea. Small dogs area is an acre and the large dogs haveover 2 acres. The new park, which is one of newest andbiggest things happening in the State Parks around the coun-try, was made possible due to the efforts of Deborha Borns,Rotary Club President. Her friend, Darlene Lynskey, is alsoworking on getting a State Dog Park in her home town ofSt. Marys. The two dog lovers along with many volunteersworked many hours with the help of the State and CraigMorton, who is the regional manager of Grand Lake St.Marys. Together they cleared away debris from the previ-ously unused land. The Park is located at the end of WestBank Road

Deb Borns saw her idea come to life with the help of theCelina Rotary Club’s major donation and businesses as wellas individuals who helped with labor and monetary dona-tions. The idea came to her after visiting another dog park.At the dedication ceremony Deb thanked many of thepeople who made the park possible. Jeff Larmore, PastRotary President and Celina City Council Member spokeas his 150 pound Newfoundland, Bentley checked out thepark. Jeff is also a large contributor to the park in honor ofthe recovery of Bentley after he had been lost for severaldays. Craig Morton, Regional Manager of State Park GandLake St. Marys and John Hunter, Assistant Chief of theDivision of Parks and Recreation also spoke at the dedica-tion ceremony. Deb concluded her speech with some wiselessons that she has learned from her own dogs. A few ofwhich were: Never leave home without your leach andyour ID. If you stare at someone long enough, you will getwhat you want. Last, if it is not wet and sloppy it is not areal kiss.

One of the many visitors enjoying running free on dedi-cation day was a lab /poodle mix owned by Dave Hochstien,

professor at Wright State University. He has other dogs athome but decided to only bring one at a time. He com-mented that this was the first time his dog had this muchexercise since he got him a year ago.

There are a few small problems to work out with thepark, such as the water faucet would not shut off and therewas a small hole under the fence in the small dog side ofthe park, which of course was found by one of the littlefurry visitors on dedication day. These problems will beeasily fixed. Memberships ($10) to Fur Ever Friends arebeing sold to help with the upkeep of the park. The use ofthe park is free to the public. One of the additions theywould like to have is benches added to the park for thecomfort of the owners.

The green stations placed around the fence for the dogwastes were given at a discount by Florida based companynamed DogiPot. Gary Brown, Assistant Operations Man-ger, heard about the plans for the park and wanted to helpby giving discounts on the pots. The company has all Oxi-biodegradable bags inside the pots for your dog waste. Garyflew in from Florida to be a part of the ribbon cutting andopening of the park. More of their products can be foundby going to: www.propet.org.

If visiting the park remember to follow the rules that areposted at the entrance. Common sense is your guide suchas:

Dogs should have their current shots The park has little dog and big dog sections, keep

dogs in their own spaces. Don’t leave dog unattended Do not bring a dog that shows aggressive behavior Keep small children under close supervision Clean up after your own dog Never bring a dog to the park that has an illness.These are just a few precautions to remember. Check

the rules before entering the park and you and your dogwill have a great time The Park is open daylight to darkeveryday.

Ray Koesters 90th Birthday

The Museums in Mercer and Auglaize Counties encourage young people to visit their Museums and to learn how the people here in Western Ohio lived. Our past citizens have worked to develop communities, businesses, schools, churches, service organizations, and to provide good homes to each new generation. When I see the young people visit the Mercer County Historical Museum, and see how interested they are in the exhibits and what their great grandparents did, I have my faith renewed in mankind. We can be proud of the families in our area and the fine young people they are raising.

Stephen Ambrose recognized the importance to passing on our knowledge of the past, to the youth today, when he wrote, “The past is a source of knowledge, and the future is a source of hope. Love of the past implies a faith in the future.”

Most families value our local Museums. Most families respect the contribution that the Museums make to affirm the importance of values in our lives, and as well as passing that pride in the past to future generations. A Museum is not an old building with a “bunch of old stuff.” A Museum is one facet of the multitude of responsibilities that local historical societies share in preserving our history and educating the public about that history.

Friday, April 7, the Celina High School Students volunteered for the Community Service Day at the Mercer County Historical Museum, The riley Home. The Students put a shine on the glassware, arranged the Quilt and Coverlet Exhibit, put finishing touches on displays, dusted the Bazooka, set up the sad irons, worked with the wooden utensils, and helped at the Museum as volunteers. They expressed their enjoyment of working with the old exhibits at the Mercer County Historical Museum.

Tuesday, May 1, the Celina M. H. Class of the Intermediate Class toured the Museum. The girls tried on the vintage hats and the boys wore the bowler hats. They were enjoying themselves so much by modeling those old hats that I took their photographs!

We should pass on our heritage to the younger generation. Families do not always get together as they did, before the era of television and easy travel to other places. Grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins are not passing on the family stories to the younger members of their families. There is a loss of that extended family network of support for the young people.

Hartings speaks atColdwater Kiwanis

Jack Hartings, Presi-dent of Peoples BankCompany, spoke to theColdwater Kiwanis Clubon March 24, 2009, about‘Current Banking Issues.’Jack recently attended theIndependent CommunityBankers Convention in Phoenix, AZ, wheremuch information was shared back and forthbetween bank officials and government represen-tatives.

Jack explained the concept of ‘reversemortgages.’ Reverse mortgages are a fairly newproduct offered by financial institutions thatallow a person to get cash out of his/her homewhile continuing to live in the home. The cashamount the person receives is based on actuarialtables and the value of the home. Various feesare attached and the person must continue to payfor upkeep and maintenance. Jack said for somepeople this might be a good option, but for othersit would not be.

The financial mess that currently exists is aresult of the home mortgage industry overstretch-ing its lending practices. The ‘toxic assets’ nowheld by many large banks are those securities(bundled mortgages) on properties whose valuehas fallen below the amount of the mortgage.

Kiwanis NewsA recent meeting of the Coldwater Kiwanis was in the

popular “dinner with a view” format. Members met at theproposed site for the planned Agricultural and IndustrialHeritage Center (AIHC) in the Sycamore Group complexthat formerly housed offices for the New Idea Company.Dinner was prepared using the newly refurbished K-Burgergrill and trailer.

Floyd Winner, President of the Board of Directors ofthe AIHC, gave those in attendance a history of the agri-culture and industrial innovation in the area and the rea-sons this heritage should be preserved and celebrated.He also introduced other members of the newly formed

board, and described the progress made to date in plan-ning for the opening of the Center. He noted that the AIHCconcept would not be that of a static museum of objects.The board desires to provide changing exhibits and inter-active displays that focus on the well-designed, innova-tive, high quality products produced in this area and illus-trate the work ethic and cooperation between employerand employee that made these products recognizedaround the world. In response to questions, Floyd saidfunds to develop the Center will be raised through dona-tions, memberships and grants. He said he hoped that theCenter might be open later this year, but that some “redtape” type hurdles must still be crossed. After his presen-tation, Floyd invited everyone to tour the building.

The Board moved toadjourn the meeting at 8:23p.m.

Jack says most local banks do not engage incareless lending. They are conservative in theirapproach.

FDIC insurance covers up to $250,000 peraccount. The amount was increased from$100,000 per account last fall, though the currentregulation expires at the end of 2009,

Jack expects that the $250,000 limit will becontinued. He also said that if an individualstructures his/her accounts properly, the personcould be covered for much more than $250,000.

Local banks are healthy and safe. Jack saysthe delinquency rate on mortgage paymentslocally is only 2 or 3 percent, compared to 20percent or more in other parts of the country. Hedid note that the cost of FDIC insurance for allbanks is rising significantly due to the financialmess even though the smaller local banks did notcontribute to the problem.
