The old General Store at St. Anthony
& The first Padua U.S. Post Office
By Joyce L. Alig, Mercer
County Historian
The old corner store, at the
northeast corner of State Route 49
and Saint Anthony Road, at Saint
Anthony of Padua held quite a
history. The Lawrence Kremer
Store closed in 1956, after a
long history of service to rural
Washington Township citizens.
The earliest history of the
JUTTE’S
General Store dates to the 1880’s.
The General Store was not only
owned by A. Wellman, but also
had the first Padua Post Office,
3 Miles North of Fort Recovery, Ohio on Rte. 49 which was established July 27,
9AM-7PM DAILY • 419-375-2304 1882, and closed August 31, 1903.
This Padua U.S. Post Office was
See Our Ad, Page 2
named after the Church, Saint
Anthony of Padua Catholic
Church, which took its name from
the Church in Italy.
The first Postmaster, Jacob
Schindler, held the office for
one month, from July 27, 1882
until August 25, 1882, when
Anthony Wellman was appointed
Postmaster. Anthony Wellman
Page 9 owned the store, and thus hosted
the Padua Post Office in his store.
Anthony Wellman held the office
of U.S. Postmaster, until January
30, 1890 when Barney Giere was
appointed on January 30, 1890.
Giere held the office for nearly
a year, until Henry Fortman
was appointed as Postmaster
November 20, 1890. Henry
Page 11 Fortman had the Blacksmith Shop
directly across State Route 49,
to the west. Fortman held the
Office of Postmaster until Bernard
Schenking was appointed October
9, 1893, and the Post Office was
moved.
When Bernard Schenking was
appointed Postmaster, he moved
the U.S. Post Office to his Shoe
Shop, (located just north of the
Feed Mill), 5482 State Route
49, from October 9, 1893 until

People helping people
By: Betty Lou Denney/Hall
When we think of vacations
most of us think of relaxing in
the warm sun, good food and
most of all no work. Elmer and
Julie Heitkamp chose a differ-
ent vacation this year. At their
daughter, Deb Crouch’s, sug-
gestion, they went to Haiti for
ten days to work in a Christian
Mission. Their two grandchil-
dren, Bryant and Abby, also
went for their third time. The
North Western Haiti Christian
Mission has been in operation
for the last thirty years. They are
an independent Christian Church
organization dedicated to partner
with indigenous churches to help
bring people of Haiti out of spiri-
tual, physical and social pov-
erty while demonstrating God’s
love for all people. They do this
through various programs such
as primary schools, feeding proj-
ects, orphanages, bible colleges
and agricultural development.
NWHC Mission is the largest
employer in the Zone and one of
the largest ministries in Haiti.
Elmer Heitkamp, a retired
carpenter from the Saint
Anthony area, was a real bless-
ing. His ability to drive a skid
loader sped up the project. The
natives had been carrying stone
and gravel by hand. Elmer used
the skid loader to move the pile.
This earned him his nickname
“Iron Man.” Elmer also made
window shutters. The shutters
are used as functional doors to
keep out rain, not decoration.
Fixing an air conditioner was a
rather easy job for Elmer when
he discovered that they did not
have it plugged into the electric
circuit. Finding a cot between
two windows, Elmer was able to
spend the night rather comfort-
ably while he rested from the
days labors. The trip from Port –
de – Paix, where they arrived, to
their destination of the NWHC
Mission at Saint Louis –du-
Nord was not so pleasant. It was
a long, bumpy bus ride in the
heat that took about 6 ½ hours.
Julie, her daughter and grand-
children flew in by airplane.
Julie spent her time at the
Mission sweeping floors, clean-
ing and interacting with children-
her favorite part. She spent one
day in the pharmacy sorting out
and discarding “outdated” nee-
dles. One day she took a break
and went on a three hour walk
to see the largest tree in the area.
Julie, her daughter and grandchil-
dren spent the night outside in a
tent. The Heitkamps’s daughter,
Deb, sponsors a child from the
mission. Abby and Bryant have
also started contributing to foster
a child.
The infants stay at the mission
till they are 4 years old. They are
then moved to the orphanage
several hours away. Water is
brought into the orphanage as
there is no well at this time. At
one point they had to go for 3
or 4 days without water. Julie
commented that a drill the length
of a semi truck is on the way to
drill a well.
Food consisted of many rice
dishes that included chicken.
The food was very spicy and
was not a favorite of Julie’s.
Elmer ate about half of her food
that she couldn’t eat and lost
five pounds. Julie didn’t lose
any weight. Coffee was served
before breakfast. One morning
she commented that they were
served a plain white cake for
breakfast. Canned fruit and oat-
meal were also on the menu for
breakfasts.
They would like to thank the
Saint Anthony Dinner Theatre
committee for donating $200
to the project. They purchased
and distributed 190 composition
books to the schools with about
40 of the books being distrib-
uted to the street people. Julie
purchased shoes from the Senior
Citizens garage sale to take for
the mission. She would like to
thank the Senior Citizens for the
discount on the shoes.
The leaders of the trip were
the Hippley’s from the Rockford
area. They take a group every
other year to Haiti. They lived
and worked at the mission for
three years. Mr. Hippley is a
pharmacist and worked in the
pharmacy while they were there.

first major shipments of farm machinery to be exported

Isn't the sunshine nice to see. And now in a
couple days of this the farmers will be in the fields
practically all day and night. From what I have seen
there is some corn coming up in those fields that
the farmers were lucky enough to have gotten the
seed in the ground before these last two rains. Like
it says, "all good things come to those who wait."
Or something like that. Most of those philosophers
never tried to run a farm. Maybe the rains will hold
off long enough for the farmers to get those seeds
in the ground. Sure hope so.
Graduations are just around the corner and
these times always present the opportunity to
sample some good food and drink at all the gradu-
ation parties. We visited one of those parties just
last Saturday and had a great time visiting and
seeing friends that we haven't seen in some time.
It never seems to amaze me just how many people
I do know. The problem is that I have great trouble
putting names with faces. So if I meet you and
can't remember your name simply remind me just
who you are. Please forgive an old man that is re-

kart racing
The 2010 Red Cross Kart
Racing Series has come to a
successful end and plans for
the 2011 season have begun!
“This past year of kart
racing was a fun and rewarding
event for the Mercer County
Chapter of the Red Cross,”
stated Deb Hemmelgarn,
Executive Director of the
Mercer County Chapter. “We
are all very pleased at the
amount of money raised this
year on behalf of the kart
races. Nearly $32,000 was
raised this year making it the
most profitable year of kart
racing for our local chapter.
I would like to thank the
kart committee, volunteers,
sponsors and teams who have
worked very hard to make
this fundraiser a great thing
for our local Mercer County
Chapter. Because of the races,
we are able to continue to
provide the essential needs of
emergency food, clothing &
a warm place to stay for our
friends and neighbors when
they need it the most, along
with lifesaving blood and the
communication link for our
servicemen and women and
their families”

FINANCIAL FOCUS
Think Twice before
Joining the “Gold Rush”
In recent months, you may have heard a lot about investing
in gold. But is gold the right choice for you? Actually, many
factors are involved in this investment decision —and you’ll
want to consider these factors before you invest.
Of course, the lure of gold is undeniable. Throughout
history, gold has been perceived as having great intrinsic
value. And this year, as you may know, gold prices have hit
record highs, at well over $1,200 an ounce, as people have
sought “shelter” from the stormy financial markets.
But as an investment possibility, gold has some “scratches”
to it. First of all, contrary to what you may believe, gold prices
do not always go up; instead, they will fluctuate, sometimes
greatly.
Furthermore, there are specific risks with the different
ways of investing in gold. If you bought a gold futures contract
(an obligation to buy gold at a predetermined future date
and price), you could lose money if gold falls, because you’ll
still be obligated to complete your contract at the higher,
agreed-upon price. If you purchased gold in the form of
coins, bullion or bars, you’d face storage, security, insurance
and liquidity issues. You need to do a lot of research before
investing in gold mining companies, because some of these
companies may still be in the gold-exploring stage — and
there’s no guarantee their explorations will lead to profitable
discoveries.
Also, even when its price is considerably lower than it is
today, gold is still a fairly expensive investment compared
to other choices. It can be costly to go into the gold futures
market. And you’ll likely have to spend thousands of dollars
if you want to buy a bar of gold or even a bunch of coins.
Given these drawbacks to investing in gold, what can
you do to fight back against market volatility? One of the
best ways is to diversify your holdings among a variety of
investments suitable for your financial objectives. Market
downturns often affect one type of asset class more than
another, so if you can spread your dollars among a variety
of asset classes, you can help blunt the effects of volatility.
Keep in mind, though, that diversification, by itself, cannot
guarantee a profit or protect against loss.
In coping with volatility, you’ll also help yourself by taking
a long-term view of your investments’ performance. If you
look at your investment statement for a given month, you
might not like what you see. But holding your investments for
the long term may help your portfolio better weather the ups
and downs you’ll encounter in the investment world.
So try to avoid the allure of gold as a “quick fix” to whatever
seems to be ailing the financial markets at a particular time.
Other investments may be less glitzy and glamorous than
gold, but they can have their own sparkle.

fires between the Ohio State
Buckeyes and the ohio university
Bobcats do not compare to the
intense feelings that exist between
the Bucks and michigan, but the
two ohio schools did once contest
each other in the legal system. the
folks at ohio university are proud
of the fact that they were founded
in 1804, the first college in the
state. ohio State university is a
relative newcomer on the scene,
founded generations later in 1870.
ohio university has made efforts
to protect their name and “ohio”
uniform logos and challenged the
Buckeyes when they supposedly
forgot the “State” half from some
team uniforms. Although ohio
university was able to protect its
uniform logo, it was interesting
to watch the ohio State team
led onto the field by four men
holding four large flags spelling
o-h-i-o, followed by the ohio
University team led onto the field

the “Ohio” name first and how
