Alaska, a distant destination mostpeople journey only by luxury cruise

ship, is at the heart of the most unlikelyof events for one Wauseon couple.Cathy and Kevin Mielke had alreadyraised two daughters when teenageson Jonathon suggested they adopta recently orphaned family member,Rebecca, 9, in Alaska. In February2009, the Mielkes began the adoptionprocess, took all the required classes,and led the petition to adopt Rebecca.Because of Rebeccas Eskimo heritageand a clause that stated she must stayin Alaska, their petition was denied. Afew days after another family membercame forward to adopt Rebecca, theMielkes received a phone call from thesocial worker. Would they consideropening their home to another young

girl from Ketchikan, Alaska who neededa family? She encouraged the coupleto check out the adoption website. Theydid, but with reservations from havinghad no intention to adopt a non-relatedchild.

The child whose photo stared backat them on the computer screen was achild who had known more heartbreakin her short life than anyone personshould ever endure. Chrystal, the

youngest of 8 children had, like hersiblings, knew a life only of abuse,heartbreak, and neglect. By the age ofthree she had resided in 10 differentfoster homes. In only a few more years,the number grew to 23 homes alongwith 2 failed adoptions. Chrystal alsodid not attend school until fourth gradeand was unable to read. In the winterof 2009, Chrystal turned to the onlyperson she had any glimmer of hope in,Santa Claus, and asked him for onlyone thing-a loving, forever family.

Meanwhile, in Ohio, after Rebeccasfailed adoption attempt, the Mielkescontinued their lives with work, church

functions, and their sons activities.Cathy, their daughter Rachel, anda nephew drove to her sons speechtournament near Columbus to serve

as volunteer judges. Kevin, who neededto stay behind in Wauseon, seized thebeautiful fall day as a chance to takea nature walk and connect with God.While sitting on a bench, he questionedGod what they should do about thelittle girl miles across the US. He felt thecalling in his heart to adopt this littlegirl and immediately called his wife,who was driving home from the speechtournament. She agreed. Shortly afterthe phone call, Cathys life foreverchanged. A woman high on narcoticsdriving the wrong direction hit theircar head-on resulting in an impact of acombined 100 miles an hour. All threein her car survived but with injuries.Cathys ankles and left heel wereaffected. Three surgeries later, she wastold she may never walk again.

Cathy returned home to a hospitalbed in her living room. For six months,she healed and followed doctor orders ofnon-weight bearing status. Her Pastor

Tim Sonnenberg visited. She said hequestioned her, asking what she wasgoing to do now. She said, I told him,heal. He looked at her matter of factlyand told her that maybe she was meantto do something else, too. She tookthis to heart and having a concern forhelping people with substance abuse,she joined the community volunteer taskforce. When she felt ready to resume herwork as a school teacher at Pettisville,she tried to return in a wheelchair. Itwasnt working. She realized her course

in life was forever changed.The couple decided to make

something positive out of the situation.Cathy says, I dont think God madeanything happen but he took somethingand used it for something good. Thecouple contacted the social workerin Alaska and went forth with theadoption. Santa Claus appeared at

Chrystals school with thenews for Chrystal alongwith a family photo albumfrom the Mielkes. Chrystalshares, Santa told me, Imade it happen.

The Mielkes met withChrystal in February2010 and by April 1, she

was in her new home inWauseon. For the rstyear, she attended ElmStreet Elementary.

The trend of rising new schools hasbrought with it a trend of demolishingthe old structures that once served asschools in decades prior. The watchingof this demolition often tugs on the

heartstrings of the alumni who, whetherhaving graduated recently or severalyears before, think back to their daysin the school building and of the fondmemories that were created there.

The alumni of the old Hilltop HighSchool, however, now have theopportunity to relive some of theirmemories. All they have to do is go graba slice of pizza from the West Unity PizzaOven and sit at one of the restaurant'snewly designed tables that were oncethe gymnasium oors at the old Hilltopschool that was torn down in 2010.

The Pizza Oven just recently acquiredthe oors that the tables are madefrom as a donation from Mark Taylorof Archbold, who had purchased the

ooring at auction for $900 prior to theschool's demolition. The donation tothe Pizza Oven came after Taylor had adiscussion with Pizza Oven owner MattWyse about the desire to renish the old

tables at the establishment and how thegym oor might be used. With no otherreal use for the oors, Taylor donatedthe ooring to the Wyse's.

Working together Matt and his father,Stewart Wyse, trimmed out the tablesto t into the existing table bases. Itsomehow seems tting that the oor of

the old gym would nd its way to the PizzaOven as the new table tops do more thangive a new life to the old gym oor. Theyalso add to the Pizza Oven's nostalgicdecor of pop culture memorabilia. Nowas patrons grab enter the Pizza Oven,they not only get the opportunity to walkdown memory lane by gazing at the vastamounts of television, movie, music,and sports memorabilia; they also havethe opportunity to somehow sit at theoor that many of them once played on,danced on, and walked on while theywere a student at Hilltop Schools.

With a good portion of the Pizza Oven'spatrons being alumni that graduatedfrom the old Hilltop school building, itjust seems right that the old gym oorswould nd themselves back to withinjust a couple of blocks of where theystarted from.

Michael A. Halpin, age

47, of Delta, fought a longhard four month battle to

the very end. He wantedto stay with his family and

love and protect them but

God had other plans forthis wonderful man and on

Wednesday October, 23 hewas welcomed into Heaven

by his father who passedaway when he was just a

small boy. The greeting

committee he received was

lled with his grandparentswho loved him dearly; his fatherin law, who was hismatching pea in a pod and his little hunting buddy Collin,

and were sure so many others who loved this great man.Mike was a rare nd, he loved people with all his heart

and wasnt afraid to stand up to something he felt was

wrong. He worked his entire life in the farming industry,in school for a local farmer, then at Delta Farmers

Elevator until February of 1994 when he started workingfor Archbold Elevator, and the past couple years at Gerald

Grain (formally Archbold Elevator). He was a giftedhunter, who loved the outdoors. If he had a chance to go

hunting he took it. Whether it was a Colorado elk hunt,

Alabama deer hunt, or just him with his beagles and hisboys running rabbits around the corner from home he

was happy. He was an amazing shot with a gun or a bow;just put one in his hands and he would prove it to you.

He loved his beagles, they were his babies. Coming home

from work not a day went by he didnt head straight to

the barn to see them. Mike was also a great husband,father and friend. His children never went a day withoutbeing told he loved them; he made sure of that. He would

do anything for his children and wife if asked, not sayingthere wasnt some complaining involved but whatever was

asked of him always got done. He had a heart as big as

his smile and if you meant something to him he woulddo anything for you. One call from a friend to help and

he was there, whether it be xing your house, your car,or staying late at work to help a friend so they wouldnt

be there all night. He was just an amazing man to allwho know and love him. Now our journey must go on,

the void he leaves in the many lives he has touched will

forever leave a gap that wont be lled. We can know thathe wouldnt want us to cry; he would want us to be strong

and look into the future knowing hell be with us againsomeday but will watch over us until the day we all see

him again and he wraps us his those great big arms andtells us how much he loves and missed us. Mike was

preceded in death by his father, Richard Halpin. Left to

cherish his memories is his wife of 20 years, Jill (Echler)Halpin; children, Krystle (Dustin) Haas, Brittnee, Cortnee,

Caleb, Wyatt and Ethan Halpin; grandson, Hunter Haas;mother, Nancy (James) Frybarger; sister, Sherri (Howard)

mental health

renewal

Paid for by Citizens for Mental Health. Rita Schweinhagen, Treasurer, 204 E. Barnes St., Napoleon, Ohio 43545.

The investment. This is a 7/10ths of one mill renewal that would be collectedfor 5 years. It is not a new tax. In fact, it was first approved for the ADAMhsBoard in 1989 and voters have approved it 4 times since then. For the owner of a$100,000 home, approval of the renewal will cost about $20.95 a year the sameamount the owner is now paying. For the ADAMhs Board, approval means about$2.15 million a year, or 20 percent of the boards total revenue.

The benefit. More than 5,700 Four County children and adults with limitedincome received clinical services funded by the ADAMhs Board last year.

Innovative, cost-effective changes. Since this renewal was lastapproved, the ADAMhs Board has lost $1.6 million in state mental health funding.As a result, the board has made changes and developed new partnerships tosave money without reducing services. For example, new partnerships will save$600,000 a year in medication costs and at least $120,000 a year in short-termmental health crisis stabilization costs.

Quadco To Offer Residential Services

Quadco Rehabilitation Center (QRC)

is ready to offer residential support

services for people with disabilities in

the area.

At the monthly meeting of the

Quadco joint Administrative and Non-

Prot boards, Executive Director Bruce

Abell explained to the board members

that adding residential support services

is one way that QRC can offer an

enhanced list of services to people in

need of services.

"One of the things we need to do is

to view ourselves not just as a day habprovider, but as a provider of all services

to people with disabilities and that

would include residential services," he

told the board members.

Residential support services are

typically services that assist people in

their homes with daily living. They can

range from helping with a budget and

banking to personal care needs and

monitoring.

"We've started to do a little bit of that,

and I think we need to continue to grow

that and do more of that and become

an all-purpose provider of services," he

continued.

The center has been certied to

be a residential provider with the

Ohio Department of Developmental

Disabilities for quite some time and hashad requests locally from time to time to

provide residential services.

He said the center has begun to

provide residential care on a limited

basis to make sure that their systems

were in place and could satisfy the

needs of the people being served. Now

that they have done that, he said they

plan to expand the offering to others.

The Stryker SUBWAY restaurant

owned and operated by QRC received a

regional award at a recent gathering of

the franchisees. The Stryker SUBWAY

restaurant received recognition

as having the highest increase in

miscellaneous sales over the past year

of any SUBWAY restaurant in the

region. The region covers 386 stores in

northwest Indiana and northwest Ohio.Miscellaneous sales included items

such as cookies, chips, apples, and

yogurt.

Bill Priest, Director of Marketing,

sandwiches in the area.

Mr. Abell introduced guests Logan

Grant and Lisa Blum, who work at the

SUBWAY Restaurants operated by

QRC.

Mr. Grant told the board members

he likes working at the SUBWAY

restaurant and meeting the people while

he is on the job.

the SUBWAY restaurant in the BryanWalmart store, Ms. Blum said, "Good. I

like it. I like the workers."

Program Coordinator Jessica

Douglass said the QRC Halloween party

will be held on October 31 from 1 to 3

p.m. at the Stryker building. Along with

a costume contest, there will be tours of

a haunted barn that has been created

next to the building.

She said people in all of the areas

at the Stryker building have worked on

decorating the former bus garage into

a Halloween showplace. This year the

theme is based on fairytales.

Mrs. Douglass said that QRC's SeniorActivities Center was recently the host

for a day with seniors from other county

board programs. She said the group

went for a tour of the haunted barn that

day.

The board members then took a

break from their deliberations and went

on a tour of the building to see the barn

for themselves.

board members that the center will hold

an Inservice training day on November
