Sandy Church stands with some of the bunnies she made for employees at The Meadows of Kalida. In a little more than a month, she has made more than 100 bunnies for the staff members.
KALIDA Just a little more than a month ago, Sandy Church started sewing bunnies. Not just one or two for grandchildren, but more than 100 for staff at The Meadows of Kalida. Sandy was staying at The Meadows while recovering from health problems when a staff member asked her to make a teddy bear for a grandchild using shirt material from the granddaughters grandfather who had passed away. Since Easter was approaching, Sandy decided to make a bunny with the flannel material. Another employee saw the bunny and requested two for her children. I had my sewing machine with me since I enjoy sewing so much, Sandy said. This is not the first time she has stayed at The Meadows recovering from medical problems. I love the staff here, she said. They always treat me so wonderful. Sandy had some of her own material that she said is reproduction of patterns from the 1930s. Eventually Sandy decided to offer making bunnies for other staff members them. I had some of my own material, and Kevin Kidd, the director here, and my daughter Rhonda brought in more material for me to use, she said Staff members would stop by and choose material they wanted for the bunnies from the selection Sandy had lain out on her bed. We had put up a sign-up sheet on the time clock telling the staff to stop by and pick out their material for the bunnies, Sandy said. She kept a careful notebook list-

She started sewing the bunnies on March 3. By the time she was done, Sandy had made 102 bunnies for staff members, each with a label on it. I guess its just my way of saying thank you to the staff for being so good to me, Sandy said. She did not charge for the
bunnies. Sandy said cutting across the grain she was able to make one bunny from each yard of material. I could make about 23 bunnies in a week, she said. The only assistance she received was another employee who sometimes helped do the hand-stitching after the stuffing was put in the bunnies. I was about 13 when I started sewing, Sandy said. I was using a treadle sewing machine at that time. She took home economics in school in the seventh grade. By the time I graduated, my mother said I could sew better than her, Sandy said And my mother was a really good seamstress. I think I learned a lot about sewing just watching her. Sandy said she took the Bishop Method of Sewing Classes after she was married to learn how to tailor her own clothes. I made all the clothes for myself, my two kids and some for my husband, Sandy said. Sandy also learned about quilting while working in a quilt shop in Michigan. I enjoy doing the pieces for quilt tops, she said. But I let someone else do the quilting. Sandy said while she was making the bunnies she had a lot of people in and out of her room. I sleep in my recliner, so I kept the bunnies on my bed, she said. My bed was covered in bunnies all the time. Sandy said even strangers walking by would peak in to see the bunnies and ask questions. The bunnies were given to the staff members last week. Sandy also has been able to once again go home. I love it at The Meadows, she said. But its always nice to go home.

LETTER
Saturday was a good day for a special harvest in Putnam County. Members of three Knights of Columbus organizations in Putnam County held a Lenton Grain Harvest competition to collect boxes of cereal for the Putnam County Thrift Store food pantry in Ottawa. Taking part were the Ottoville Knights of Columbus, Kalida Knights of Columbus and Ottawa Knights of Columbus. We challenged all the Knights of Columbus organizations in the county to see who could collect the most boxes of cereal, said Tim Macke, who helped coordinate the event. He said three of the four Knights of Columbus agreed to take part in this years event. The boxes were brought to the Ottawa K of C Hall Saturday morning and counted. The members collected a total of 398 boxes with the Ottawa K of C members collecting the most, 226 boxes. The Kalida Knights of Columbus came in second. As the boxes were brought in, they were placed on miniature wagons and pedaled to the truck by a miniature tractor driven by Owen Tobe. The mission to bring in food for the food pantry was not through for the morning, however. After collecting the boxes of cereal at the K of C, the truck had to make another stop at Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic School SPPS students had decided upon a weekly food drive for the countywide food pantry at the Putnam County Community Thrift Stores Food Pantry. Each week a different food item from the stores staple food item list was chosen. Over a six-week period they collected: Week 1 - 146 boxes of cereal Week 2 - 360 boxes of jello Week 3 - 163 boxes of various pasta Week 4 - 360 containers of baby

We believe our childrens faith in God will be a source of strength for them throughout their lives. We are thankful for the opportunity that our children have to attend Sts.

PANDORA
Kristine Frick DeBolt, 68, died April 3, 2012, at her residence, surrounded by her loving family. She was born Jan. 11, 1944, in Bellefontaine to Arthur and Ann Harding Frick, who preceded her in death. On Dec. 4, 1999, she married Reuben DeBolt, who survives in Pandora. Mrs. DeBolt was a graduate of Lima Senior High School and of Lima School of Practical Nursing. She worked briefly in nursing before becoming a fulltime mother and homemaker. She had also been a model at Greggs Department Store and at Lazarus, both in Lima. She brought her creativity and eye for detail to her own antiques business, Gander Run, and home and wedding decorating. She was a member of St. John Mennonite Church, Pandora, and of the community, serving both in many different capacities. She had served on the Pandora-Gilboa school board, was a member of Asi No Mas, Hardin County Herb Society, and Swiss Community Historical Society. She loved the simple beauties of Gods creation and enjoyed quiet places like Holmes County, Sanibel Island and the English countryside, where she lived for a year. She cultivated her flowers and garden with much love and care and created a welcoming atmosphere for birds at her home. These were an extension of her endearing grace that flowed from her firm faith and caused her to be an encourager and inspiration to many. She has now gone home to be with the Lord. Survivors also include a son, Ty Comer, of Pandora; a brother Mark (Dee) Frick, of Elida; a sister, Karen (Wayne) Smith, of Hilliard; and two stepdaughters, Sarah DeBolt, of Bogota, Colombia, and Rebekah DeBolt, of Knoxville, Tenn.

OTTOVILLE To help raise money for new playground equipment for the Ottoville Park, a 5K and 1/2 mile fun run/walk will be held on Saturday, April 14, at the Ottoville Park. Registration will begin at 9:30 a.m. with the 1/2 mile fun run/walk beginning at 10 a.m. and the 5K race starting at 11 a.m. Runners will register at the Ottoville Parish Center in the old gym (enter the facilities on the west side of the building, Credit Union Entrance). All ages are welcome to participate in either run/walk event. Participants can pick up a race entry form at the Ottoville Post Office or can visit www.findlaystriders.com for an entry form. Registers are also welcome to sign up the day of the event, but will not be guaranteed a T-shirt. Runners, walkers and spectators are welcome to come out and participate. This will be a family friendly event with other activities including a 50/50 drawing and a bake sale sponsored by Ottoville Girl Scout Troop 20034. The Ottoville Community has recently kicked off a campaign to raise money to replace the twenty-five year old Mother Lode Mine that is currently at the park. According to preliminary estimates, a large piece of equipment for the children to play on would cost approximately $87,000. This campaign is being kicked off in 2012 in celebration of the 50th annual Ottoville Park Carnival that will be held on Labor Day weekend. The Ottoville community is seeking donations from area organizations, businesses and in individuals to team up to accomplish this fundraising goal. If you would like to make a donation to the Ottoville Playground Equipment Fund, you can send a check payable to Ottoville Playground Equipment Fund P.O. Box 100, Ottoville, 45876.
