Celina Couple Receives Albert Heckler
Award from Cheryl Ann Programs
Louis and Dorothy Hoyng never imagined that theyd be-
come involved with Cheryl Ann Programs.
They were raising three happy, healthy boys in their Celina
home. Louie operated his custom upholstery shop next door,
and Dorothy worked in the high school cafeteria. They were a
typical family.
Then a very atypical thing happened. Their middle son,
Brian, was struck by lightning in 1981 when he was 16. With
that 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 couldnt afford to spend much time thinking
about their terrible luck. They had a son who needed them
more than he ever had. The first years after Brians accident,
which left him with severe disabilities, were very difficult,
they said, as they searched for someone who could help them
help Brian.
Their school district helped as much as it could.Finally, then-
Superintendent Ralph Stelzer recommended a place the Hoyngs
knew 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 everyday
life. They gave him a place to go and jobs to do. He made new
friends, 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 would
just smile, and the people in Adult Day Services really knew
how to make him laugh, Dorothy Hoyng said.
It wasnt 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 unique
equipment used at Cheryl Ann, and often, said Superintendent
Mike Overman, Louie would forget to send us a bill. He
also served a term on the county MRDD board and was the
board president.
For all that, and for their tireless advocacy on behalf of
their son, the Hoyngs received the Albert Heckler Award at
the staff appreciation banquet in March. The award is given
each year to a Cheryl Ann family that exemplifies service and
advocacy.
The Hoyngs both served as good examples of first-rate
advocates for their son, Overman said. They rarely ever
missed a day spending time with him, and they always spoke
up 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 the
years after the lightning strike he taught his family a lot about
patience, hope, endurance and acceptance. He introduced the
Hoyngs to a world they had only seen from the outsidebut it
was a world where they found welcome and acceptance.
We met some wonderful people during our years at Cheryl
Ann, Dorothy Hoyng said. They worked their hearts out
helping us with Brian.

Stateline Writers Meet
At the April meeting of the Stateline Writers Club, members read
profiles they had written about someone, living or dead or make-
believe, and member Eileen Whitsetts special activity of having mem-
bers combine pictures of particular scenes with a person or people
assigned to them to put into that scene brought interesting results.
Sue Miller and Gretchen Bollenbachers proposal for a special
meeting designed to attract new members was described and approved.
Members will be hosted by the Coldwater Public Library in June for
a reading of their best work.
At the next meeting, which will be on Saturday, May 16, mem-
bers will rehearse for their special program in June.
Stateline club members meet the 3rd Saturday of each month at
10 a.m. at the Celina Mercer County Library. Anyone interested in
coming to a meeting or becoming a member is cordially invited to
attend.
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 first
time 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 3
acres of wide open spaces of the chain-linked fenced in
area. Small dogs area is an acre and the large dogs have
over 2 acres. The new park, which is one of newest and
biggest 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 also
working on getting a State Dog Park in her home town of
St. Marys. The two dog lovers along with many volunteers
worked many hours with the help of the State and Craig
Morton, 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 West
Bank Road
Deb Borns saw her idea come to life with the help of the
Celina Rotary Clubs major donation and businesses as well
as 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 the
people who made the park possible. Jeff Larmore, Past
Rotary President and Celina City Council Member spoke
as his 150 pound Newfoundland, Bentley checked out the
park. Jeff is also a large contributor to the park in honor of
the recovery of Bentley after he had been lost for several
days. Craig Morton, Regional Manager of State Park Gand
Lake St. Marys and John Hunter, Assistant Chief of the
Division of Parks and Recreation also spoke at the dedica-
tion ceremony. Deb concluded her speech with some wise
lessons that she has learned from her own dogs. A few of
which were: Never leave home without your leach and
your ID. If you stare at someone long enough, you will get
what you want. Last, if it is not wet and sloppy it is not a
real 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 at
home but decided to only bring one at a time. He com-
mented that this was the first time his dog had this much
exercise since he got him a year ago.
There are a few small problems to work out with the
park, such as the water faucet would not shut off and there
was a small hole under the fence in the small dog side of
the park, which of course was found by one of the little
furry visitors on dedication day. These problems will be
easily fixed. Memberships ($10) to Fur Ever Friends are
being sold to help with the upkeep of the park. The use of
the park is free to the public. One of the additions they
would like to have is benches added to the park for the
comfort of the owners.
The green stations placed around the fence for the dog
wastes were given at a discount by Florida based company
named DogiPot. Gary Brown, Assistant Operations Man-
ger, heard about the plans for the park and wanted to help
by giving discounts on the pots. The company has all Oxi-
biodegradable bags inside the pots for your dog waste. Gary
flew in from Florida to be a part of the ribbon cutting and
opening of the park. More of their products can be found
by going to: www.propet.org.
If visiting the park remember to follow the rules that are
posted at the entrance. Common sense is your guide such
as:
Dogs should have their current shots
The park has little dog and big dog sections, keep
dogs in their own spaces.
Dont 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 dog
will have a great time The Park is open daylight to dark
everyday.
Deb Borns prepares to cut the ribbon at the Dedication of the Celina Rotary Club Dog Park. Helping to hold the ribbon
is Darlene Lynskey and John Hunter, assistant chief of the Ohios Division of Parks and Recreation. On left is Craig
Morton, Regional Manager of Grand Lake St. Marys. Right: Jeff Larmore and Bentley. Photo by Roy Hall.

Acupuncture has its roots
deeply planted in China. The
science is between 5,000 and

not become known on a national
level in the US until 1971 when
diplomatic relations between
China and the US were relaxed.
The human bodys energy flow
courses over twelve
meridians or channels
that are normally
well balanced. If
a disruption of
energy flow exists,
it can alter the entire
system, producing
pain or symptoms
in the body.
Acupunctures goal
is to restore normalcy
to the bodys energy
balance by using
a combination of
acupoints located on
the twelve meridians.
This is accomplished by a variety
of means, the needle being just
one.

Your 401(k) offers tax-deductible contributions, tax-deferred growth of
earnings potential and a variety of investment options so its a great tool
for building retirement savings. Yet like all tools, your 401(k) must be used
properly to get the best results. Thats 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 isnt available, you might want to
consult with a financial professional to make sure youre 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 employers matching contribution, if one is offered. If you dont
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 youre eligible,
you may also want to contribute to a Roth IRA, which offers tax-free growth
potential, provided youve had your account for five years and dont start
taking withdrawals until youre 59.
Of course, its not only how much you put into your 401(k) that determines
its success its 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, youll 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
youll 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 youll 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? Heres 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,
youll 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.

Next week, we observe Labor Day, which honors all the hard-working men and women in the United
States. As an investor, youd like to think that all your investments are working hard, too including the ones
that are producing income. But can your income-oriented investments be productive when short-term interest
rates are at historic lows? Or can you fnd other investment possibilities that could potentially boost your cash
fow?
The answer to both these questions is yes but you may have to take a closer look at where you stand
on the risk-reward spectrum.
For example, you might need to consider longer-term income producers, which typically pay higher yields
than shorter-term equivalents. Longer-term fxed-rate securities, such as bonds, must pay these higher rates
to reward investors, who face both interest-rate risk the possibility that interest rates will rise, causing the
value of existing bonds to fall and infation risk, the threat of losing purchasing power by the time long-term
bonds have matured. Still, you may be willing to accept these risks in exchange for the higher yields.
However, you may be looking for income producers that can work hard for you without having to hold
them for a long period to maturity. This is because the yield curve the line that plots the relationship
between yield and maturity is fairly steep right now, which, in English, means you can gain noticeably higher
yields just by modestly increasing the maturity of your investments. Your fnancial advisor can suggest some
short-term and intermediate-term vehicles that may be appropriate for your needs. And while these rates will
still not be as high as those offered by longer-term vehicles, they do offer fexibility along with less interest-
rate risk and infation risk.
You can also help protect yourself from these risks by building a ladder consisting of short-, intermediate-
and longer-term bonds and certifcates of deposit (CDs). Once youve built your ladder, it can help you weather
changing interest-rate environments. When market rates are low, youll still have your longer-term bonds and
CDs earning higher interest rates. And when market rates rise, youll be able to reinvest your maturing short-
term investments at the higher levels. If you need the cash, you can liquidate the maturing bonds and CDs.
Thus far, weve only looked at fxed-rate investments but you may also be able to boost your income
by owning dividend-paying stocks. Some companies have paid and even increased their stock dividends
for many years in a row. If youre not in need of the cash, you can reinvest the dividends and boost your
ownership stake, which is a key to increasing your wealth. But if you do need the money, you can take the
dividends as cash. Keep in mind that income producers are not a sure thing because companies can decide
to reduce, or even discontinue, their dividends at any time. In addition, history tells us that you may experience
more price volatility from stocks, and they can be worth more or less than the original investment when sold.

I hope all you out there are
enjoying all the fresh vegetables
at this time of the year. Had some
great tomatoes and cucumbers
just the other day. Really were
good for supper the other night. A
good friend with his garden keeps
me in fresh vegetables. And they
are so much better than those you
buy in the stores.
High School football has started
and from the looks of the scores
the MAC will be as strong as ever.
It really is a tough conference.
It will be interesting to see how
many end up in the playoffs come
December. Lets just hope all the
guys and gals finish their sports
without any serious injuries. And
for that matter all you drivers out
there, be a little more careful now
that the kids are back in school.
Especially watch your speed in
the school zones.
I really havent had enough
time to look into the new vice-
presidential candidate for the
republican party. Lets hope he
does better at keeping his foot
out of his mouth than the present
Vice-President does. It seems
to come very natural for him
and I bet the President cringes
whenever the Vice-President is
ask any questions at the news
conferences. Maybe he should
use teleprompters also.
Thats my Opinion.........
Whats yours??

with the number 184.
Paul Green, former resident

CROCK POT
APPLE BUTTER
7 quarts of applesauce
(homemade)
1 teaspoon. cinnamon
Half teaspoon allspice
Half teaspoon cloves
One cup sugar can use
honey if you like
If diabetic you can leave out
the sugar
1 cup of red hots
Place the applesauce in
crock pot and add the spices
and sugar or honey. Cook for 8
hours or until mixture thickens,
depends on the thickness of
the applesauce. For the last
half hour or so add the red hot
candies to dissolve. Pour into
jars and process for 10 minutes
in hot water bath.
TIP OF THE WEEK: If you
have a Vitamix food processor
you can make applesauce by
just cooking apples with peel
on and cook till soft and run
through the processor. The
Vitamix is not inexpensive but
well worth the price. It is made
in Cleveland Ohio. It also has
a great warranty.
UNTIL NEXT WEEK
REMEMBER: Be happy, love
one another and remember that
there is a miracle out there that
can change your life.

Alian Ryan, Stateline Writers
Club President, opened the meet-
ing on Saturday August 18 which
was held at the Mercer County
District Public Library in Celina.
Minutes were read by Secretary
Beth Keuneke. Member Ron Ara-
gon gave information on a social
for members that will be held on
Sept. 5th in Celina. Kitti Tolles
presented information on how to

doing a Google search for free blog
spots and researching each. Then
she talked about domain names.
She also talked about search en-
gine submissions where one puts in
tags or words that the search en-
gine will use when they are doing
a search for information on a web-
site. A motion was passed that the
Stateline Writers Club set up a blog
site/website and purchase a domain
name. Following the presentation
members read their stories about
school.
The next meetings assignment
will be to write about a surprise,
and member Kitti Tolles will con-
tinue her presentation on plat-
forms, blogs, and websites. All are

ber 15th at 10:00 a.m. in the Mer-

FOOTBALL AND FLOWERS
With only a ten game high school
football schedule, the opening contest
is exceptionally big. A loss not only
means any team desiring a winning
record must find two more victories
later in the season, but a loss in the
first game can create a negative mind
set that must be overcome before the
kids can run, tackle, pass, or block to
the best of their ability. The opening
week was a good one for the county
teams with only Parkway getting an L
on the schedule. The win for the other
county schools was big for the above
reasons, but exceptionally so for the
Celina and the St. Henry squads. The
Bulldogs had not won their opener
for seven years. That was a long
time to start your WBL schedule
with a losing record. The Redskins
have been much more successful
in their opening games with the
exception of last year. Last year the
Skins won only one game and just
had two victories in 2010. Although
the new scoreboard at the Wally
Post Athletic Complex lists six state
championships for St. Henry football,
the program has fallen on hard times
in recent years. Numerous and key
injuries have been a big problem
for the team, but winning begets
winning and losing begot losing for
St. Henry football. During the past
two seasons if something could go
wrong it did. Last Friday the Skins
were the more athletic football team
on the field in the first half in their
contest against Mariemont, a school
near Cincinnati. They dominated the
line play on offense and defense, but
penalties, missed assignments, and
timing errors meant a 7 - 7 score at half
despite winning the physical battle on
the field. St. Henry veteran coach Jeff
Starkey has a state championship to
his credit, but I would suggest the
second half of the opening contest
last Friday may have been some of
the most important 24 minutes of his
coaching career. Would his kids find
ways to continue to lose, or assert
themselves and grasp the victory? It
was the latter. The Redskin defense
completely shut down Mariemont
and the offense put 17 points on the
board. The Skins and their coach
right now can claim to be winners,
like those teams listed on their
scoreboard. I am not familiar with
the arsenals of the other MAC teams,
but if the Redskins stay healthy they
will not be the pushovers of last year.
Kyle Stahl, St. Henrys quarterback,
is 64, 220 pounds, with a college-
caliber arm. Their tailback, Adam
Reichert, is the featured runner.
He is quick and aggressive, but his
listed physical measurements of
510 and 160 pounds appear a little
optimistic. The line dominated the
Cincinnati team, but how they will
fair against local competition remains
to be determined. Right now they
are undefeated and they still have
an opportunity to add another state
championship year to the St. Henry
scoreboard. Sunflower report: After
a couple losing seasons, The Bride
and I took a brief year-long retirement
from the growing of Helianthus
Annuus (not pot). I took the time off
to engineer a sunflower seeder that
worked about half the time. Half my
seeds were planted twice as deep as
the others, and consequently came
up two weeks later. The flowers
survived the drought, but like the
area field corn, matured a couple feet
shorter than normal. My crop of rag
weeds therefore got the head start and
won the battle to the sunshine and
soon hid the yellow disks. The weeds
however, did not deter the flinches or
doves, who are feasting on the seeds
as you read, even though the yellow
heads are now on the ground. In
addition to the birds, my sunflowers
attracted dozens of young ladies who
wanted their pictures taken in our
field. My neighbors who grow only
soybeans and corn cannot make that
claim.

28 Mason Evers ran for four
touchdowns to make the long bus
ride home a happy win for the
Indians. Evers picked up touchdown
runs of one, nine, 64 and 66 yards for
the purple and white. Fort Recovery
led 14-0 after one quarter before
the host Bulldogs tied the contest at
21-21 at the intermission. Edgerton
then went on top 28-21 at the end
of three periods before the Indians
rallied for the win in the final period.

Power of the Pen (POP) is
Ohios award-winning educa-
tional enhancement program
devoted to excellence in cre-
ative writing. In its 24th year,
one of its main aims is to help
seventh and eighth grade stu-
dents realize their highest aca-
demic achievement.
The programs benefits for
students include empower-
ment in writing at an early
age, the gaining of self-con-
fidence and the imparting of
a love for writing and reading
that identifies, challenges and
rewards gifted creative minds.
The program offers the oppor-
tunity for interscholastic writ-
ing events much like sports
offer that same interscholas-
tic opportunity. Each year par-
ticipants compete in a district
event and can move up to re-
gional and finally to the state
level.
Coldwater Middle School
has been involved in the
Power of the Pen program
since the early 1990s. I started
being involved when I came
to Coldwater, said Chris
Miller, senior English instruc-
tor. Judy Bruns was my men-
tor. Tessy Huwer, middle
school intervention specialist,
also works with me. I am the
coach, and Tessy and I act as
judges for the competitions.
Though we didnt win
anything this year, in both
2007 and 2008 we took four
trophies third place for sev-
enth grade at the district com-
petition and second at the
regionals in 2007, and in 2008
we placed first at the district
meet and third at the regionals
in the eighth grade, Miller
said. The kids love the pro-
gram. In a town known for its
sports, these kids get the rec-
ognition they deserve through
POP, Miller said.
Coldwaters Ashley
Backs, a seventh grader, said
about the program, I think it
is a lot of fun, and you can
meet a lot of new friends. And
you meet a lot of new people
from other schools at the com-
petitions. The writing helps
you to express your creativ-
ity.
Backs and other students
that participated in the pro-
gram went to school early one
morning a week. They were
given a word or a prompt
to write about. The instructor
read their stories and gave
them ideas and compliments
about what they had written.
Miller said though he him-
self hadnt been able to see
any direct improvement in the
students writing since he
teaches senior language arts
and doesnt get to see the kids
for about four years, All the
middle school teachers agree
that it does help, even if the
kids have to struggle with the
writing.
Reimbursement to cover
expenses comes from the
school and a local company.
CAP gives us $150 each year
for t-shirts, and the school
gives us $1,000 annually for
tournament fees and penal-
ties, Miller said.
Team members are Conner
Stammen, Shannon Hess,
Lauren Rose, Karla
Borgerding, Andrea
Moorman, Ashley Backs,
Haley Fledderjohann,
Courtney Kunk, Rachel
Eichenauer, Brad Eckstein,
Caleb Siefring and Matt
Kramer.
Fort Recovery Schools
Grades 1-8 Gifted Interven-
tion Specialist Marcia Weigel,
said, A generous contribu-
tion from our Academic
Booster Club has allowed our
eighth grade students to take
their creativity on the write
path as weve formed a cre-
ative writing team as part of
the Power of the Pen program.
We had several practice ses-
sions, and then Mallory Hull,
Grace Roessner, Sara
Schoenlein, Taylor Wendel
and Adam Westgerdes at-
tended the POP district tour-
nament at Mississinawa Val-
ley Middle School in Febru-
ary.
Of the 72 eighth-grade
students from 13 different
schools who took part in the
tournament, our Taylor
Wendel ranked 8th place
overall and earned a spot in
the regional tournament.
In the tournament each stu-
dent rotated through three
rounds of writing competi-
tion. In each round, the stu-
dents were given a creative
writing prompt and forty min-
utes to complete a piece of
writing to turn in to the
judges. Each students writ-
ings were ranked in order by
his or her overall ability to
effectively and creatively ad-
dress the prompt. They were
also given quality points for
their work.
There were just over 80
eighth-graders participating in
the regional tournament held
at Minster Middle School in
March. While Wendel did not
earn one of the top overall
awards, she may still be able
to participate in the state tour-
nament to be held in Wooster
the end of May. Weigel said,
To earn a spot at the state
tournament, writers must fin-
ish in the top twenty percent.
While Taylor did not quite
make the cutoff, she did earn
a spot as an official alternate
should a qualifier be unable
to attend the event. In the
tournament competitions stu-
dents writings are judged on
creativity, originality, voice,
composition and mechanics.
Weigel said this was Fort
Recoverys first year with
POP. She said that leading up
to the tournaments, her team
had been meeting one or two
times a week to practice. I
gave them sample creative
writing prompts and 40
minutes to respond. Then
I gave them feedback as to
how to improve their writ-
ing, to work on grammati-
cal and spelling errors, and
we discussed ways to ef-
fectively incorporate more
figurative language into
their writing. We also cri-
tiqued past competition
winners to see which ele-
ments made the writings
good.
Weigel said that at this
point POP is strictly an
extra-curricular event at
Fort Recovery but some
of the strategies can be
helpful in the regular class-
room. I have noticed im-
provement in the teams
skills as we went along.
We got a late start this year,
but I anticipate a greater
degree of improvement
next year when we have a
longer period of time to pre-
pare. The kids really loved
the program. I imagine well
have more participation next
year, too, as the word
spreads.
The other county schools
do not currently have the POP
program.
a non-profit educational orga-
nization with a home office in
Richfield, Ohio. The POP
w e b s i t e ,
www.powerofthepen.org,
says that, Because the ideas,
dreams and beliefs of todays
youth form the foundation of
tomorrows communities in
Ohio, Power of the Pen is
dedicated to helping young
people find and develop a cre-
ative voice that is uniquely
their own. It is a mission we
will realize when we inspire
every teacher and challenge
every student to truly embrace
the art of creative expression
through writing as a life skill.
POP offers the judgment of
the whole evaluation ap-
proach, meaningful awards or
recognition and pursuit of ex-
cellence.
The program has grown to
become one of Ohios largest
educational enhancement pro-
grams. More than 120,000
middle school students ben-
efited from Power of the Pen
instructional methodologies
this year, including more than
8,000 who competed in for-
mal Power of the Pen inter-
scholastic writing tourna-
ments. POP is made possible,
in large part, through grants
and contributions from those
who value educational excel-
lence.

Part I: Mercer Countys Local
History Books published about the
Countys early years.
To Preserve Mercer Countys
History and To Educate the Public
about that History, is the Mission
Statement of the Mercer County
Historical Society, Inc. One of the
most important achievements of the
Mercer County Historical Society
since 1973 is the publishing of twen-
ty-seven (27) Local History Books
and Ohio History Books, as of 2012.
Equally important is the fact that the
public uses and reuses these books
for the County, city, or village gov-
ernment documents as well as busi-
ness, school, church, and/
or family genealogy. This
week, I will review the
local history books about
Mercer Countys early
history, from 1755 until
the settlement of Mercer
County, published by the
Mercer County Histori-
cal Society.
One of the most valu-
able books used by the
largest number of people
was the Mercer County
Historical Societys
1978 Mercer County
Ohio History, of which
there had only been two
previous Mercer County
histories published, i.e.
1882 and 1907. Have
you used this 1978 book
for your own reading
or research? Have you
even thought about the
times you have used any of the His-
torical Societys books?
The Societys oldest history book
began with the earliest settlement in
1755 at the St. Marys River Cross-
ing, known as Half Way Cross,
and continued through the mapping
of Mercer County, is the History of
the Land Between the Saint Marys
and Wabash River Valleys, 1755-
2000.
The Mercer County Historical
Society was the first institution to
publish the book about the 1790s
Indian Wars which included copies
of the original letters of General Ar-
thur St. Clair and General Anthony
Wayne at the Indian Wars at Fort Re-
covery and Fort Adams, in the book,
Native Americans & Early Settlers;
Meeting of Culture, printed in 1989.
Many historians have used this book
for reference!
After the Indian Wars of the
1790s and the War of 1812, the U.S.
Government sent surveyors to north-
west Ohio to survey land, for two
purposes: to investigate the potential
route for a canal, and to sell sections
of land. The U.S. Surveyor General
appointed Captain James Riley to
this task. Captain Riley platted the
Village of Willshire; his son James
Watson Riley platted Celina in 1834.
In honor of Captain Rileys life, the
Society printed the book, Ohios
Last Frontiersman: Connecticut
Mariner Captain James Riley.
This book was used as a source by
New york best seller author, Dean
King, for his book, Skeletons on
the Zahara, as well as
the Television HISTORy
CHANNELS VIDEO of
that book, including inter-
views of Captain Rileys
descendants at the Mercer
County Historical Mu-
seum, the Riley Home.
This Mercer County
History Story has been
acknowledged on Televi-
sions around the world.
Following the Indian
wars, the Peace Treaties,
and the Land Surveys,
Ohio County Govern-
ment was established,
which included County
Courthouses. As a result
of these historical events,
the Societys book, Mer-
cer Countys Courthous-
es, 1824-1998, honored
the 75th Anniversary of
the Courthouse.
Next week, I will share Part
II: Mercer Countys Local History
Books published about the Countys
Earliest Communities. The follow-
ing week, I will complete this theme
with Part III.
It is important that the Mercer
County Historical Society thanks
the public for its interest in local his-
tory. Equally so, it is important that
the public recognizes the value of the
work of the Mercer County Histori-
cal Society, in preserving their local
history and supports this Mercer
County Historical Society in their
Combined Drives, or through Estate
Planning, or through private or pub-
lic means of funding.

Three New Bremen churches
had a community-wide vacation
bible school in July and chose
State of the Heart Hospices
Camp BEARable for grieving
children as their mission proj-
ect. The VBS was held at St.
Pauls United Methodist Church
in New Bremen from July 22 to
July 26. During that time, the
youngsters raised $600 for the
camp which is held annually
at the Spiritual Center at Maria
Stein.
Shown here in a check pre-
sentation are State of the Heart
representatives Chris Killian and
Marlene Black. Killian is a vol-
unteer who assists Black, camp
director, during the weekend
camp. Killian and his wife Bev
made a presentation one evening
at the VBS.
Also, pictured in the front row
are three of the children who at-
tended the bible school, left to
right, Rhese, Sunni and Quinci
Voisard.
The funds will be used for
next years camp which is sched-
uled for July 12-14. The camp is
free and open to any child need-
ing help dealing with grief. The
bible school donation will pay
for two youth to attend camp.
This year, 64 young people at-
tended the camp. For more in-
formation about the agency visit

heartcare.org.

Question: My dog is scratching and breaking out in a rash. Could this be mange and how do I treat it?
Answer: Pruritus, the medical term for itching, can be caused by many things. Veterinarians look at many types of skin
disorders that can be caused by fea allergy dermatitis, inhalant allergies, food allergies, and skin parasites to name a few. Itching
disorders sometimes take your veterinarian several tests and treatments to properly diagnose, because they are so challenging
and frustrating. Red infamed skin is a symptom and can lead to a skin infection.
Proper diagnosis is the key to controlling a skin disorder from leading to a skin infection or other secondary infection. Before
doing more expensive allergy testing, your veterinarian should perform a physical exam looking for any signs of feas or mites.
Veterinarians need to perform a skin scraping then exam it under the microscope. This will help them determine if there are mites
or eggs present and the treatment regiment that will follow. The skin scraping should be well enough that you reach the lower
layer of the epidermis.
Mange is a parasitic skin disease that is caused by microscopic mites. There are two types of mange mites: one lives under
the skin surface and the other in the hair follicles. They both share similar characteristics but there are major differences, and it is
important not to confuse the two. They have different causes, treatments, and prognoses. I will discuss a few common ones.
Demodectic mange, sometimes referred to as red mange, is the most common in dogs. It lives in the hair follicles. All dogs
and some humans have a few of these mites on their skin. As long as there is a properly functioning immune system, the mites
cause no harm. So why do breakouts occur? Demodectic mange most often occurs when a dog has an immature immune
system, primarily less than 12 to 18 months of age. Demodectic mange does not itch severely. It usually results in hair loss that
usually begins on the face.
Sarcoptic mange, sometimes referred to as scabies, is caused by a parasitic mite that burrows under your skin. It is
transferable to people and other animals. It is highly contagious. Your may will chew and itch its skin which will lead to large
amounts of hair loss, especially on the belly and legs.
Cheyletiellosis mites, sometimes referred to as walking dandruff, are highly contagious skin parasites that infect dogs, cats,
and rabbits. They are large, whitish mites that crawl on the skin or fur that cause excessive scaling accompanied by infection.
The most important sign of cheyletiellosis is scaling or dandruff. The scales are plaque-like and diffuse. The lesions are mostly
seen on the upper part of the body and back. They are spread from contact with one another.
Knemidokiptic mange, also referred to as cere mites, is a common parasitic disorder in birds. They most commonly infect
caged birds such as budgies and canaries. They often refer to it as scaly leg and face disease because the lesions appear as
large scales and crust on the birds beak, the cere, and/or the legs. They are spread by close contact with infected birds. Mite
sprays and protector devices are usually ineffective in protecting your bird. While your veterinarian uses a drug to kill the mites,
the pet owner should disinfect the birds cage, perches, bowls, and toys on a regular basis to prevent re-infection.
Treatment for these types of skin disorders vary greatly. They may range form oral medications to medicated baths, or a
combination of treatments. If you suspect mange or any type of skin disorder, it is best to consult with your veterinarian. It is not
recommended to try to treat skin disorders on your own. This can lead to severe reactions and prolonged treatment which can
lead to the expense of more therapies. Proper and early diagnosis are best for both you and your pet.
