We want to send a big THANK YOU to Craig Ruhe and Tri-State Pest Solutions for donating the flea and tick spray for the dog park. We continue to be blessed by incredibly generous people in maintaining and improving the park. Give Craig a call at 419-615-3331 if you need bug spraying or nuisance pest removal!

Just wanted to let everyone know that the water is back on at the dog park.
Also, there was quite a bit of dog p**p that hadn’t been picked up. Please pickup after your pup!

Thanks,

Enjoy the dog park!

To my family friends and supporters:

I am not seeking re-election as Putnam County Probate/Juvenile Judge.

When my term ends on February 7 of 2027, I will have become the second longest tenured Probate/Juvenile Judge in Putnam County history, at just more than 16 years. It’s time for a fresh voice to be heard from the bench.

I do not make this announcement seeking accolades but merely to avoid confusion for those candidates who will pursue the office.

Next year will be filled with election noise on the national level as we face one of the most significant elections of my lifetime. Don’t tune out, or be turned off, especially on the local level. The County needs you all to vote, it gives meaning to your voice.

Thank you all for your past support. I will always be thankful for having had the opportunity to serve you and the County. We live in a great community, I am reminded of that every day.

With regards and appreciation!

Thank you,

Mike

To all
If you are a user of the park of late you have no doubt seen a general regression in the upkeep. I contacted the Village last week to express our concern about the inattention to mowing, w**ding, and the fence line w**d explosion, and asked if there was anything Louann and I could do to help. I called the Village again today to let them know it still has not been mowed.
The Village is aware of our, and no doubt your concern, and share our frustration. There is a mowing contract in place for the park, but….
Please be patient a little longer we expect the issue to be addressed with a quick mow tomorrow and a plan to address the fence line.
Thank you for using the park.
Mike and Louann
P.S. Should you ever notice anything at the park that you believe needs attention please message us here or call me at the courthouse. Thanks.

A SURPRISE!

We have been blessed to receive a wonderful tribute to Ali from her uncle Mark and aunt Julie.

We have learned that when you unexpectedly lose someone close to you, people are often confronted with no adequate way to grieve. The result can sometimes be that you channel that grief into acts of extraordinary generosity, like this memorial stone. Thank you Mark and Julie it is amazing!

The engraving was done by someone near Columbus, we will post his name if we get it. The artwork was done by Simply Sketched, Tricia Brinkman, of Glandorf and is her rendering of the picture of Ali and Skyla which is shown on this page. It is astonishingly accurate and beautifully done.

Because of Heather Adams, a dear friend, the cardinal has become my symbol for the living memory of Ali, it always startles me to see one, surreally often at my lowest moments.

Thank you Mark and Julie for your tribute and generosity, Tricia for your skill, and all of you for your continued support.
