Home, garden and trade show welcomes spring
By Laura Mazur
Community Post
A packed gymnasium on Sunday showed the success of this
year’s home, garden and trade
show.
“There’s something here for everyone. They offer a nice variety,”
said Jim Coons, executive director of the Southwestern Auglaize
County Chamber of Commerce.
“People come to see what there
is in landscaping, and if they’re
not interested in that, maybe interior decorating, need to find
a retirement home for mom or
need to find out about investments. No matter their interest,
there’s something for everyone at
a show like this.”
Sponsored by WCSM Radio
and the Southwestern Auglaize
County Chamber of Commerce,
the biennial event boasted a sellout 32 vendors and a constant
flow of visitor traffic at this year’s
event, which was held at the
Auglaize-Mercer South Family
YMCA, in New Bremen.
“The biggest thing is outdoor
living space,” said Michael Chalk,
owner of Chalk Landscape and
Construction. “The biggest trend
in the industry is grill units, patios, fireplaces and fire pits.”
As the season warms up, homeowners are heading outside to
spend their time. Chalk was onhand at Sunday’s affair to display
one of the many block and grill
designs to which the New Knoxville company can treat them.
A variety of vendors were available to showcase new trends for
the season or just their business
in general, including contractors
and landscapers, health care and
financial services, appliance and
outdoor equipment, entertainment dealers, real estate and food
services and lifestyle businesses.
Peggy Penton, of Van Wert,
showed off some available jewelry designs she makes at the
studio of her company, Silver By
Design.
“I use sterling silver and
Swarovski crystal components to
design jewelry. I make it to suit
and fit the customer,” she said.
With a no fee consultation,
Penton can make a piece just
how a customer wants.
Attendees found free refreshments, vendor samples and literature. A number of door prizes

were given away, including chamber gift certificates.
Wagner’s IGA, from Minster,
welcomed visitors of the afternoon show through the front
door with samples from their
chocolate fountain and other
fine delicacies. Many, such as
the Wennings, of New Bremen,
looked forward to this and other
parts of the event.
“We’ve come here for the last
three or four times. We always
like Wagner’s because it’s like getting your lunch here,” said Tom
Wenning.
In addition to the food, Evelyn Wenning was looking to find
businesses to help her makeover
her living room, as well as socialize with friends the couple hadn’t
seen in a while.
WCSM and the chamber
would like to thank the following

Minster Boy Scouts Eric Beckman, Benjamin Sekas and
Anthony Bergman took the Eagle Scout oath on Sunday
as a part of ceremonies in receiving their Eagle Scout
awards.
Minster scouts receive awards
By Laura Mazur
Community Post
Be prepared.
This is the motto of the
Boy Scouts, which many
earn their merit badges by
and later live by.
On Sunday, three Minster Boy Scouts of Black
Swamp Council Troop 44,
prepared to receive their
Eagle Scout Awards.
Recipients of the awards,
which were pinned at Minster Middle School, were
Eric Beckman, son of Ted
and Mary Beckman; Anthony Bergman, son of Dr.
Greg and Betty Bergman
and Benjamin Sekas, son
of Tim and Diane Sekas.
“It’s a long-term build
up of 21 merit badges,
and it’s a big commitment,” said Beckman, the
youngest of the three Eagle
Scouts, a sophomore at
Minster High School. “It
just helped to get it done
before you got busy.”
The Eagle Scout Award
is the highest possible
award in Boy Scouts. Only
a small percentage of scouts
actually attain this rank.
For his project, Beckman primed and sealed the
west public restroom facilities and concession area
at the ball diamonds of
Four Seasons Park. He saw
that they were discolored,
needed work and decided
to help out. He completed
his project in November.
Bergman said time was
of the essence in completing his project and noted
during his speech of gratitude with the other Eagle
Scouts, that his father had
pushed him to get the final paperwork done and
turned in on time. His
project was making signs
for the Miami and Erie Canal Towpath, and he completed his in December.

Fort Loramie Schools broke ground on construction of their new elementary school on March 16.
Administration, faculty, board of education members, levy committee members and even students
got a chance to overturn some dirt in celebration
of the event.
Design and construction costs for the new, 73,350square-foot elementary school total $13.4 million.
Costs for renovations to the current junior-senior
high school are projected to be $4.4 million. The
project is being completed in partnership with the
Ohio School Facilities Commission, which is providing 63 percent of the funding.
Voters approved a 6.87 mill combination construction bond, maintenance and permanent improvement tax issue in November of 2006 to support the
local share. The total project is scheduled for completion for the opening of the 2009 school year.

Minster Elementary took a look at skills and knowledge of incoming students last week as it held its annual
kindergarten screenings.
“They’re all very excited to come, but that’s nothing
new,” said Principal Brenda Boeke. “It’s an exciting day
for all of them.”
As this year’s 78 kindergarten students move on to
first grade next year, they will be replaced by 67 new students, including two sets of twins. These students tested
through eight stations last Wednesday and Thursday for
their spots in classrooms. They tested in things such as
general knowledge, motor ability, hearing, language and
vision.
“The kids have done very well. They’ve been excellent,” said Steve Blackburn, physical education teacher,
who tested kindergarteners-to-be in gross motor skills.
Blackburn said one skill kids did exceptionally well in
was skipping, but possibly need to work on catching and
throwing, including stepping off the right foot when doing so.
“It helps when kids get the opportunity to go to preschool,” he said. “Those who succeed in physical coordination tend to succeed in the classroom.”
Besides administration and faculty, kids are also getting geared up for the
fall.
“I’m going this
year—I think,” said incoming student Nora
Schwartz. “My sister’s
teaching me.”
Older,

grade sisters, such as
Schwartz’s, as well as
using other tools will
prepare kids for what is

Deadline for

is 12 p.m. on Mondays.
Logo
Other nods of approval
were also declared from
various groups’ members,
giving the green light from
the combined group to go
ahead with plans.
The design that the
four-group alliance approved was one designed
by Minster graduate Lindsay Quinter, who has been
working with the group,
based upon meeting recommendations.
Group
members agreed that the
word “Minster” in script
and the slogan, “a great
community,” below this,
would be befitting.
“It’s embracing and understanding what makes
Minster a great community,” said Minster Civic
Association branding cochair Ben Ernst.
A number of meetings
have been held by representatives from each of
the four groups in the past
12 to 18 months to decide upon a design. This
process has included contracting the help of a communications company to
help with plans, as well
as conducting surveys to
gage the perception of the
town’s residents and business owners on how they
feel the town should be
represented.
Association President
Mark Prenger agreed, “We

gone through the pro’s and
con’s. It’s a clear, concise
match, and I think we’ve
come full circle.”
Association member
Jerry Baumer commented
that if the logo and slogan
could be downloaded and
added to e-mail signatures,
businesses’ Web sites and
other online materials,
the concept would spread
faster, especially if it was
linked to the village’s site.
The group’s next plans
in the branding process
are to present the logo
and slogan to the village’s
blessing, as well as to hold
public forums to get input
from the community on
the design.
Other reports during
last Tuesday’s meeting included:

each.

Recycling building gets revamped
By Laura Mazur
Community Post
The Village of New
Bremen and the local
Boy Scout and Girl Scout
troops held a ribbon cutting last Tuesday at the
town’s recycling building.
Eight chutes with
doors have been constructed through the
west wall of the recycling
building, which is located
at 306 S. Herman St., so
that recycling can go on
24 hours a day, seven days
a week. The building was
already in existence but
recycling only occurred
during manned hours of
the center, which is dur-

of the ribbon cutting process.
ing the second Saturday
of the month. Although
this staffed time will still
occur, residents will be
able to free themselves of
a variety of recyclables on
a much more convenient
basis.
“This will make it easier for residents to get
rid of recyclables,” said
Village
Administrator
Wayne York. “Before, the
building was only staffed
one Saturday a month. It
accumulates, and if residents have too much, they
have just thrown it in the
trash.”
York said he expects
an increase in recycling in
the village as a result of the
center’s new convenience.
The following materials
can be recycled through
the newly constructed
chutes: No. 1 plastics,
No. 2 plastics, clear glass,
brown glass, green glass,
aluminum cans, steel and
tin cans and mixed paper.
Corrugated
cardboard
can be placed in the horse
trailer parked along the
driveway. The Auglaize
County Solid Waste and
Recycling Department
picks up the sorted recycled materials and pays
the scouting organizations.
New Bremen Mayor
Jeff Pape agreed, “Sometimes people forget recycling is the second Saturday
of the month. I think we’re
going to get those people.”
The objective is to increase the amount of recycling taking place in New
Bremen, to increase the
revenue stream going to
the scouts and to make recycling more convenient
for New Bremen residents.
The fully staffed recy-

cling days will continue
on the second Saturday of
the month. Used computer
equipment and good used
shoes can only be recycled
on those dates. Otherwise,
everything else can go
through the chutes at times
that are most convenient
to the residents. A surveillance camera has also been
added to insure that no garbage is dumped at the facility.

had an “overwhelming” response from residents on
the need to help the Minster area of the Miami and
Erie Canal. Minster does
not actually own the canal,
however, and for work to
be done, legal documents
would have to be handled
for work to progress.
*Village Administrator
Don Harrod reported that
it will be about another
month before a police chief
for the village is decided
upon. In a special meeting
prior to the association’s
meeting, Minster Council
met to accept the immediate resignation of officer
Shane Dellinger, who was
one of the final candidates
for the chief position.
*The village has also
started engineering for the
reconstruction of Fourth
Street, with the burial of
overhead lines. Most of
these lines, however, are
the property of non-village
utility companies, such as
cable TV and telephone,
and these companies will
have to be contacted before anything can be done
with these lines. The village pool will also be getting a new slide and a baby
pool this year.

Ray reported that the high

Scouts
“I saw signs on the trail
were broken and thought
I’d fix those along with the
others,” he said.
Scouts’ projects must
be completed by volunteers the scouts themselves
found to help out with the
project. After planning of
the project, supervision of
the volunteers is much of
the project hours, which
runs between 70 and 100
hours.
Sekas’ project was renovating the area around
the monument at St. Augustine Cemetery for
cholera victims. Beautification of the area, including putting in a bench for
visitors, was the scout’s
service to the community.
Sekas agreed that working with someone else to
have time limits set for the
project worked out better
than trying to configure
time scheduling just on
his own. He completed
his project in October.
Besides helping out
others in the area, the
three,
non-hesitantly
agreed that camping has
been their favorite part of
scouting. Some of these
trips have been to Lakota,
istration for classes last
week, as well as the district’s Web site would be
updated in the later part
of the week and be ready
by the beginning of April.
Ray also said there has
been no federal determination of the standings of
the district’s recent audit.
*Scoutmaster Dr. Greg
Bergman asked that the
civic association again pay
the chartering fee of Boy
Scout Troop 44, totaling
$826. Recent activities
for the group have included three scouts, Ben
Sekas, Eric Beckman and
Anthony Bergman being
awarded the Eagle Scout
Award, new adult leaders
and board members for
the troop and getting a new
trailer to use for equipment. The troop is also in
the process of possibly revamping the appearance
of the town’s youth meeting building. Scouts have
additionally gone on such
trips such as to Dayton, a
New York bike ride and
have plans of going camping in June.
The Minster Civic Association meets the last
Tuesday of each month
at the Wooden Shoe Inn,
in Minster, at 7 p.m., with
social hour starting at 6:30
p.m. Guests and new members are welcome.

in Defiance, and Philmont,
in New Mexico.
Scoutmaster Dr. Greg
Bergman said being an
Eagle Scout does not have
to do with commitment as
much as the expectations
that come after reaching
such a rank, which is a
lifetime rank.
“A lot more is going to
be expected. There are
going to be expectation
for them from now on,”
he said. “It also has to do
with how they’ve helped
other scouts. Helping
scouts below you is part
of the program.”
Beckman will be continuing on at Minster
High School next year as
a junior, but already has
his sights set on the University of Cincinnati after
graduation.
As seniors at Minster
High School, Bergman
and Sekas are preparing
for graduation next month
and what they will be continuing on with afterward.
Bergman will be leaving
for basic training for the
U.S. Marine Corps in September. Sekas has plans to
attend the University of
Toledo.

Find support at Alzheimer’s caregiver meetings
People who have Alzheimer’s
disease or a related disorder are
often cared for at home by family
members and friends.
To help caregivers in Auglaize
County, the Alzheimer’s Association, Northwest Ohio Chapter,
invites anyone who has a family

Caring for a person with Alzheimer’s disease is a challenge.
Changes in the person’s behavior,
caused by the progress of the disease, can lead to frustration and
anxiety for the caregiver.
Caregivers attending a support
group meeting find a relaxed, confidential atmosphere. They are
among other caregivers and discuss suggestions for handling specific medical, legal, behavioral and
financial problems.
All meetings are free and open
to the community. For more information about these caregiver

Hater reflects on the significance of stories in light
of his recently published
book, “Tell me a story: The
Role of Narrative in the
Faith Life of Catholics.”
He develops the relationship between basic belief
and story, stressing that
both are necessary. Taking
his clue from “Jesus, the
Storyteller,” he indicates
how stories help us to better see God’s presence in
the family, work situations
and the parish. Stories
and reflections invite the
listeners to consider how
to share more fully Jesus’
message. A priest of the
Archdiocese of Cincinnati
and a professor of Pastoral
and Systematic Theology
at the Athenaeum of Ohio,
Hater is also professor
emeritus at the University
of Dayton. Cost is $15.
Register by April 25. Registrations are appreciated,

friend confront this need. But, did you ever ask yourself, “who is going
to take care of me?”
We all want to remain financially independent throughout our lifetime. We
don’t want to depend on our family or the government for assistance. With
long-term care insurance, you don’t have to worry. You can help protect the
personal savings and retirement assets you’ve worked so hard to accumulate.
For many, long-term care insurance may be an economical solution.
Take this important first step.
Call us today to find out how Prudential Long-Term CareSM Insurance can
help you. Remember, it won’t happen unless you make the effort.

your life
On April 3, Dorothy and
I will be celebrating our BY BOB
47th wedding anniversary.
It goes without saying that
was the best decision I ever made in my
life. We have four wonderful sons and
daughters-in-law and they have given us
11 terrific grandchildren.
I have made some very good decisions
and some not so good decisions in my life.
And I do admit to making some bad decisions, too, but most of the time, even bad
decisions can be changed.
A month ago, Dorothy and I attended a
day of reflection at the Maria Stein Spiritual Center, where a young priest talked
to us about asking the right questions of
yourself when you are making decisions.
Much of his material came from a book,
“Change Your Questions, Change Your
Life”, authored by Marilee G. Adams,
Ph.D.
At the end of that book, she listed the
questions that she felt were most important when making any decision for change
in your life. I believe if we use the list that
follows, most all of our decisions will be
good ones.
The top 12 questions for change
1. What do I want?
2. What are my choices?
By Joyce L. Alig
President, Mercer County Historical
Society

3. What assumptions am I making?
4. What am I responsible for?
5. How else can I think about this?
6. What is the other person thinking,
feeling, needing, and wanting?
7. What am I missing or avoiding?
8. What can I learn…from this person
or situation?...from this mistake or failure?...from this success?
9. What questions should I ask (myself
and/or others?)
10. What action steps make the most
sense?
11. How can I turn this into a winwin?
12. What is possible?

‘Great Expectorations’ celebrates Wapakoneta’s history
The Wapakoneta 175th
Anniversary Committee
will host a lecture by Mike
Lackey on Sunday, April
6, at 2 p.m., at Wapakoneta City Hall (Defiance
Street).
Titled “Great Expectorations: The Baseball Career of Bob Ewing, Spitball
Pitcher,” Lackey’s presentation will highlight the most
famous baseball player in
the community’s history.
The event is free and open
to the public.
George Lemuel Ewing
was born in New Hampshire (in Auglaize County)
in 1873. In a 1925 interview with the Wapakoneta
Daily News, Ewing described the beginnings of his
baseball life:
“I played my first game
away from home in 1895
when I came down from
New Hampshire to play in
a game at the Wapakoneta fairgrounds on Maccabee Day. Dr. Mueller got
the New Hampshire team
to play New Bremen. We
were all kids and New Bremen had a real club with
Whitey Guese pitching….
We got beat, but it was a
real game.”
After playing “sandlot ball” in Wapakoneta,
Ewing broke into national
sports in 1897, playing for
Toledo in the Inter-state
League.
After three years with
Toledo, he joined Kansas
City, with which he played
until 1902. It was his only
pennant-winning
team.
Ewing was recruited by the
Cincinnati Reds on Oct.
10, 1901, when he played
a barnstorming exhibition
at Berger Park, in Sidney.
Starting with the Reds at
almost 28 years old, he
pitched as a right-hander
for the team from 1902
through 1910.
Unfortunately, the Reds
were not a strong team during Ewing’s career with
them, never finishing higher than third in an eightteam National League.
In 1910, Ewing was traded to Philadelphia, where
he played two seasons. He

News, via www.redshistory.com.
then played for St. Louis,
Buffalo and Minneapolis.
He returned to Auglaize
County, where he bought
Wapakoneta’s Brunswick
“Pool Room” in March
1920. In the same year,
Ewing was elected sheriff of Auglaize County, at
which time he served for
one term. Ewing died in
Wapakoneta on June 20,
1947.
The Cincinnati Reds inducted Ewing into its hall
of fame (along with Mario
Soto) on Aug. 12, 2001. He
was then the Reds’ all-time
leader in earned-run average, at 2.37.
Ewing’s numbers are as
follows: 108-103 record
in 228 starts, with 15 shutouts in 2021 innings pitched; 252 appearances;
1831 hits; 24 home runs;
184 complete games (fourth in Reds’ history as of
2001) and four saves.
Lackey
commented about his interest in
Ewing:
“I originally was just
interested because he
was around here and,
other than his statistics, I
couldn’t find much information. I figured I could
do some research and in a
few months I would know
everything worth knowing
about the guy, maybe write
a quick article and move
on. Instead, I got fascinated with the era he played
in and was astonished, 100
years later, how much information could be found
with some digging. He
crossed paths with a lot
of colorful characters, and
the fact that he relied on
the spitball -- outlawed in
1920 -- added to the intrigue. Parts of the story
eventually spilled into politics, small-town life, race
relations and all sorts of
areas. In the end, I’ve concluded that the game he
played was, in most important particulars, a lot
like the game today. Certainly he would recognize
and understand today’s
game instantly, even if there would be aspects of it he
wouldn’t care for. On the
other hand, the world he lived in -- the world ‘outside
the lines,’ as we say -- was
much different.”
Lackey is a native of
Dayton and a graduate of
Earlham College, in Richmond, Ind.
He has served as a reporter, editor and columnist
for The Lima News since
1972. Lackey is a member
of the Society for American Baseball Research.

Auglaize Co. Job Fair canceled
The annual Auglaize County Job Fair has been canceled for 2008.
A combination of factors generated this decision by
the three chambers of commerce in the county that have
sponsored the event for the past eight years. This year’s
job fair had been scheduled for April 3.
“Hiring needs seem to go in cycles,” commented Jim
Coons, executive director of the Southwestern Auglaize
County Chamber of Commerce. “A particular business
may have needs one year and not the next. This year, it
seems that the employment needs at our local businesses
and industries would not be met by holding a job fair. A
year from now, things may be totally different.”
Past job fair participants have typically been directhire and temp-to-hire employers, as well as training programs, job development agencies and educational institutions.
The Auglaize County Job Fair has been supported by
the Auglaize County Commissioners, Wright State University-Lake Campus and Grand Lake Health System.
Individual questions or job situation inquiries can always be directed to individual employers or to the local
chamber of commerce offices.

Race to the
Eldora Speedway
Ballou participates in Saturday’s race
ELDORA --sample templa
April 5.
Hailing from Rocklin, Calif.,
some 1,942 miles from Rossburg,
Ballou has been racing since the
age of 5; having started out in
Quarter Midget racing. His Sprint
Car career began in 2003 in his
home state of California and last
season made the trek to the Midwest to follow the rigorous USAC
trail that has catapulted the careers
of drivers such as current Eldora
Speedway owner Tony Stewart,
Jeff Gordon, J. J. Yeley and many
more.
Nicknamed the ‘Rocklin Rock-
Commuting between California and Ohio can be tiring, but
Golden State driving sensation
Robert Ballou has found something to overcome the boredom
– the thrill of victory at Eldora
Speedway.
Just coming off his 19th birthday, Ballou is riding a hot streak
on Eldora’s famed high-banks,
with back to back USAC (United
States Auto Club) non-winged
Sprint Car racing in 2007 and has
submitted his bid to shoot for a
three-peat when USAC kicks off
the Eldora season this Saturday,
et,’ Ballou was not intimidated at
all by Eldora last April in his initial
appearance, as he literally flew to a
victory and backed that up in September with another convincing
win, over a talent-laden field, in the
annual Four Crown Nationals.
Ballou will again be behind the
wheel of the MPGH Promotions,
Inc. owned Maxim Chassis, powered by a Don Ott engine. Jimmy
Jones returns as Ballou’s crew chief
as they attempt to become the
second-ever driver to win three
Eldora USAC Sprint features in a
row. Eldora’s most prolific USAC
driver, Jack Hewitt did the trick
twice, first during the 1988 season, and then at the close of the
1990 campaign and the start of
the 1991 trail.
Undoubtedly the task won’t be
easy, as the Eldora USAC opener
traditionally attracts a hefty field
of entrants with fresh teams.
Completing the April 5 tripleheader will be the Moser UMP
Modifieds and Advance Auto Parts
Stock Cars with a 7:30 p.m. race
time. Complete event information
may be found on the track’s Web

Girls track starts out in Versailles
By Randy Wilker
Sports Correspondent
Minster Kiwanis Club
205 Industrial Park Drive
New Knoxville, Ohio
x2
It was a profitable day for
all the local teams Saturday
in the 11th annual Lady Tiger Classique held in Versailles.
In the Orange Division, the Minster Wildcats
won going away with 178
points. They outdistanced
Fort Loramie, who finished
second with 123.5 points,
and Ansonia was third with
97.5 points. New Bremen
was fourth with 79 points.
In the White Division,

101 points, and the Versailles B team was fourth
with 64.5 points.
“I very pleased with what
we did today,” Wildcat head
coach Cindy Nelson said.
“With only three weeks of
practice, you can only do
so much with snow on the
ground. I am really pleased
with our times. These kids
were really dedicated during the winter, and they put
their time in and it showed
today. We had many personal records today and
a lot of goals broken, and
they did more than they
thought they could do.”
The local athletes started
right from the start in the
field events. In the shot put,
LeAnn Martine, of Fort
Loramie, won with a toss of
33-9, but Becca Steineman,

Jessica May, of New Bremen, was seventh at 28-1
and Kelly Dahlinghaus, of
Minster, was eighth at 28.25.
In the Black Division,
Mekayla Breland, of St.
Marys, won the shot put
with a toss of 33-9.5, and
Elisabeth Wheeler, of
Brookville, was a close second at 33-1.50.
Steineman came back
and won the discus for Minster with a throw of 105-8,
and Jaclyn Dabbelt, of
New Bremen, was second
at 103-3. Lauryn Bertke,
of New Bremen, was sixth
at 83-6 and Dahlinghaus,
of Minster, was seventh at
84-5.
Taylor Jones, of New
Bremen, was the winner in
the long jump with a leap of
15-8.5, and Kelli Kemper,
of Minster, was sixth with a
leap of 13-6.5. Kursten Fenwick, of St. Marys, finished
sixth at 12-8.75, and Dee
Dee Sudhoff, of St. Marys,
was seventh at 12-7.75.
Emily Barhorst, of Minster, was eighth in the high
jump with a leap of 4-6.
Megan Fullenkamp won
the Orange Division at 5-0.
In the Black Division, Sarah
Wolfe, of St. Marys, won at
4-10.
Sarah Huelsman, of Minster, won the pole vault at
8-6, and Andrea Keibel, of
Minster, was fourth at 7-0.
Emily Rutschilling was fifth
at 7-0. Leslie Humphries,,
of St. Marys, won the Black
Division at 9-7, and Katie
Heitkamp, of St. Marys,
was fifth at 7-6.
“We did have a couple of
surprises,” Nelson said. “In
the pole vault, Huelsman
had a jump of 8-6, which
was her personal record last
year, so she is starting out

which was a surprise.”
In the running events,
Minster won all four relay
races. In the 100-meter relay, the Wildcats had a time
of 54 seconds, in the 200
they had a time of 1:55, in
the 400 they had a time of
4:21.7 and in the 800 they
had a time of 10:21.3.
New Bremen was sixth
in the 100 at 59.1, fifth in
the 200 at 2:03.5 and they
finished third in the 800
at 10:48.7. St. Marys was
third in the 100 and 200
at 55.8 and 1:58.3. They
were fourth in the 400 at
4:40.7 and fifth in the 800
at 12:11.4.
Tiffany Olberding, of
Minster, was third in the
100-meter dash in a time
of 14.1, and Stephanie
Kemper, of New Bremen,
was right behind in 14.2.
Kaysha Dietz, of St. Marys,
was third at 13.5.
In the running events,
Minster had three first
place finishes and New
Bremen had one first place
finish.
“We didn’t have enough
personnel today,” Cardinals head coach Sue Ritter
said. “We had a hard time
putting two athletes in
every event because of injury. I think, right now, we
are trying to run too many
people, which is taking
away from their best possible chances. Our surprises were a first place finish
in the 300 hurdles (Renee
Dicke) and the 400 dash
( Jones/63.6).”
“I think this was a good
learning day for us,” St.
Marys head coach Dan
Cook said. “We are trying

stepped up and we are really pleased.

we double scored
in the pole vault
and shot put
and we scored in
every event but
one.”
