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

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.
TWO QUESTIONS FOR SHERRI RECKER, Director of Nursing, Putnam County Health Department

Q A Q A
Why has a coalition decided to launch a yearround program to promote healthy lifestyle in Putnam County? They did a survey study and found that 70 percent of adults and kids living in the county are overweight or obese. How is this program different than many other weight-loss or health programs?
This is an on-line program where you challenge yourself to meet personal goals and can be done from your home if you choose. You can call the Putnam County Health Department for more details

ACTIVISM
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
Speaker Rachelle Heidlebaugh, of Findlay was pregnant two weeks later, and having a friend talk her into having an abortion. She now regrets having the abortion, I was in an overwhelming crisis in my life at the time, she admitted telling she was already a divorced single mother and could not face supporting another child. 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.
