ILLER CITY For nearly five years, students from the Rainbow Caf and Catering have been serving a wide variety of meals to all size groups. The caf is operated by students from the Putnam County multiple disabilities unit housed at Miller City with instructor Christina Haselman overseeing the business. The students in the class range from 13 to 18 years of age and have a wide variety of academic and physical disabilities. The idea for operating a caf started more than five years ago when the class was cooking special meals for staff at Miller City Schools. Haselman said it was suggested RAINBOW CAF to expand on this and offer meals and speAND CATERING cialty items such as To book a meal call: cookies and cakes to the public and open a 419-876-3173 business. This caf enables Haselmans students to perform a variety of tasks that are based on daily living skills, functional skills and possible employability skills. Haselman said the students do everything from making a grocery list for items needed, to preparing the food from scratch, serving the food, and doing the clean up. They also look at the costs to determine how much profit they made on a meal, Haselman said. The old school kitchen at Miller City-New Cleveland School enables the students to use restaurant-style ovens, stoves, sinks, and dishwashers for both the preparation and cleanup of a luncheon. Haselman said operating this caf helps the students in many ways. She said they improve their culinary skills and math skills by preparing the restaurant-style food. They improve communication skills when interacting with the public. Their janitorial skills are used during the preparation and cleanup of the restaurant and kitchen. In addition to serving luncheons in the Rainbow Caf, the class also prepares and caters meals and snacks for meetings in other locations. We can usually serve from 10 to 24 people in the Caf, Haselman said. But can serve a larger group in the cafeteria. Weve served up to 70 people and for a group as small as 5 people. The students take a lot of pride in this business, Haselman said. They look forward to each time they have a meal to prepare and serve. She said every Christmas the students make cupcakes for all of the teachers and personally deliver them to the classrooms. The teachers look forward to this, Haselman said. And so do my students. An example of a sample menu served by the Rainbow Caf and Catering may include salad, chicken breast, scalloped potatoes, vegetable medley, rolls and a choice of two

Writing for fun, starting young


Why would someone who writes for a profession belong to a writers group? Do songwriters join songwriters groups? Do builders belong to building organizations? The answer is yes. Part of it is to network. Its also because a person loves what they do and want to share that love. Perhaps that is why I am a member of the Black Swamp Writers Guild. Meeting once a month we share our writing. For the past several months we all contribute a word to use in the next months story. It is amazing how a group of people can take the same set of words and come up with different stories. Some are funny. Some are serious. The other day my grandson called. He wanted to know the rules for getting published. He told me he is writing a scary story and wants to see if he can get it published. He is nine years old. I have to believe he is not the only young boy or girl who enjoys writing. I remember writing at his age. Now the group has decided to encourage young children who enjoy writing. They are hosting a contest for students in grades six, seven and eight. The rules include: 100 word limit. The story can be fiction or non-fiction but must include all five of these words: illustrate, honor, parents, comical and adventure. The entries are due by March 9. The entries must be living in Putnam County. Writing will be judged by members of the Black Swamp Writers Guild. The judging of the writing will be based on originality, creativity, punctuation, grammar and spelling. Prizes will be awarded to those receiving the top three scores. The winners will also be published in the Putnam Voice. So come on parents and grandparents. Do you have any young writers in your family? Encourage them to enter the contest. Either e-mail the entries to nkline@limanews.com or mail to Nancy Kline, Post Office Box 532, Ottawa Ohio 45875.

desserts. During last Wednesdays event, the caf offered a selection of five types of cupcakes. We offer several choices on our menu, Haselman said. This gives the customer a wide selection of meats, potatoes, vegetables and desserts. She said they also can take special orders for cookies, cakes, pies, and coffeecakes that are made by the students. Its a win-win situation, Haselman admitted. The students are learning and enjoying cooking and serving the food and it also provides a service to the region.

She said the majority of the meals are set up during the day when the students are in class. It takes quite a bit more organizing if it is not during the regular class time, she said. Haselman said she is assisted with the caf by two adult aides. In addition to the caf the class also has a landscape program they can provide, do janitorial work and oversee the recycling program at the school. Anyone having questions or interested booking a meal can call the school at 419876-3173.

Dr. Black teaches others ways to reduce pain


OTTAWA It was a full house on Thursday at the Ottawa Senior Center when residents came to learn about non-pharmaceutical ways to deal with joint stiffness and pain. Dr. Ron Black, a local chiropractor, was the guest speaker during the Lunch with a Punch event at the center. Speaking on his experiences with patients, Dr. Black said he has seen a change in diet relieve pain in patients that had been taking prescription drugs for years. Two examples he gave were of patients who were relieved of migraine headaches by either having a gluten-free diet or eliminating milk from their diet because of having lactose intolerance. Sometimes you need to make a life-style change in your diet to get relief from pain, he said. Dr. Black is a proponent of the alkaline-acid diet to avoid pain, especially arthritis pain. When we eat foods such as meats, potatoes and sweets our body turns these foods into acid, he told the crowd. Then the acid is stored near the end of the joints. He then went on to explain this acid-storage area then attracts minerals to neutralize the acid. And what mineral do you think is used? Its calcium. So then you have a build up of calcium in the joints. That is the cause of arthritis, he said. Dr. Black said he was not telling people to cut meat and potatoes out of their diet entirely. Im talking about portions, he said. You can cut the portions of acid-causing foods and feel a lot better. He also said cutting excessive sweets from the diet is important. NANCY KLINE Putnam Voice They are finding more young Dr. Ron Black spoke last Thursday during the Ottawa Senior Citizens Lunch with a Punch.

They become alkaline when processed by the body, he explained. So they are good for you. Other non-pharmaceutical suggestions he gave was recommending more magnesium. Studies have shown that magnesium can release muscle pain and also keeps bones more flexible. Dr. Black said your body will tell you if you are taking too much magnesium. You will have problems such as diarrhea, he said. He also recommends eating fresh or frozen cherries if you have gout. My father-in-law did this for years and was fine until a doctor in Florida told him to quit eating the cherries each day, he said. Then he had to go back to the doctor for treatment of a gout flare-up. The doctor actually apologized to him for telling him to quit eating the cherries and told him to start eating them again. Dr. Black spoke about his personal experience with two heart attacks and the changes he had to make in his lifestyle. I thought I always stayed in shape, he admitted. I was surprised when I had a heart attack. Following his first heart attack Dr. Black went on a quest to discover the causes and what he could do to prevent another heart attack. One of the first things he discovered was he had a gene that predisposed him to heart attacks. His research has also led him to other reasons to make lifestyle changes. Its all about finding out what you need or shouldnt eat in your diet and with supplements and making the necessary lifestyle changes, he said. The Ottawa Senior Centers Lunch With a Punch educational luncheon series is sponsored by St. Ritas Putnam County Ambulatory Care Center.

OTTAWA The main speaker during Putnam Countys Right to Life march on Sunday said abortion in America is as bad as the gas chambers of Germany during World War II. Rachelle Heidlebaugh, Findlay, spoke to over 250 people who gathered on the Putnam County Court House Lawn to mark the 39th anniversary of the Roe Vs Wade decision legalizing abortion. This is the holocaust of our nation, Heidlebaugh told the crowd. She said Ohios Heartbeat Bill would be an arrow into Roe vs. Wade. This bill, already passed by the Ohio House of Representatives, would make it illegal to have an abortion once a heart beat could be detected. Heidlebaugh expressed frustration that the Ohio Senate leadership is trying to delay their vote on the bill until after the March primary. Last December Heidlebaugh testified on behalf of the Heartbeat Bill before the Ohio Senate Health, Human Services and Aging Committee. Heidlebaughs passion about abortion grew out of her personal experience of being raped, discovering she

She said having an abortion is a silent, secret shame. You need to give these people a safe place to heal, she told the crowd. You cant regain the life once you have lost it, Heidlebaugh said. Theres nothing worse than a mother killing her child. Its the most sordid thing in the world, Following her speech the crowd marched down Main

Members of the Conquest Club made the banners for the Putnam County RIght to Life march held Sunday in Ottawa. Street to the parking lot near Our Lords Park. Last Friday a pro-life rally was held at the Putnam County Educational Service Center with Congressman Bob Latta (R-OH), State Senator Cliff Hite (R) District I, State Representative Lynn Wachtmann (R) Napoleon, Toledo Diocese Respect Life Coordinator Jan Kahle, and Ohio Foundation for Life Director Ed Sitter in attendance. Latta said the president has once again ignored the conscience rights of Americans. He was referring to the Obama Administrations Friday announcement that it will not expand the exemption for religious employers from the requirement that all health plans cover contraceptives approved by the FDA. The rule requires organizations like religious schools and Catholic hospitals to offer contraceptive coverage to employees covered by their health plans even if doing so violates their faith. The new rule dramatically alters the federal framework for conscience protection and will have far-reaching impacts on patients, employers, providers and faith based-institutions. The Administration will grant organizations 1-year waivers to come into compliance with the mandate. Kahle said the Toledo Diocese; representing 19 counties had 13 bus loads of people from the Toledo Diocese traveling to D.C. to take part in the national event. Kahle said Catholic bishops are also concerned about the current conscience protection act of this administration and how it violates religious freedoms.
