The first pioneers came to Westerville using an Indian trail that became 161. More than 150 years passed before the completion of I-270 at Westerville Road. Vehicles changed from horse and oxen-drawn wagons to cars, trucks and motorcycles fueled by gas, diesel and electricity. The arrival of the train and trolley were greeted with great excitement by Westerville citizens but both disappeared as new forms of transportation became popular.
If those pioneers who came here 200 years ago could visit today, we can only imagine their shock at the changes in transportation: forests have become roads; bridges span the local creeks; airplanes occupy the sky with the birds; and cars travel busy highways at 70 miles per hour arriving quickly at their destinations.

Thank you to all of those who participated in
our Summer Rating Program this year! Congratula-
tions to all of our winners. Remember, you can win
prizes for rating materials that you like and
big prizes to those who write reviews. Our top three prize
winners this year were Gail Gantt, Mary Ann Peters and,
taking home the grand prize, Lauren Lynch. Also, special
thanks to Raisin Rack and Ole Barn Flowers of
Westerville for making these gifts a reality.
Chicken Soup for the Soul, series
I loved both books! I recently had to put one of my cats to sleep. I
always referred to her as my cat, the other was my mother’s cat. Even
after my mother’s passing, I continued feeling that way. These books
not only helped me after putting mine to sleep, but helped me realize
what a disservice I had done to my mother’s so called cat. Now I am
treating her differently, and hoping to make up for all the lost years
between us. I would never have realized this, or knew how to move
on , if it wasn’t for these two books! Thank you!

Still Lolo, by Lauren Scruggs
I always enjoy ‘personal’ accounts and Still Lolo was no excep-
tion . Reading about Lolo’s accident and how she overcame the chal-
lenges of not only her injuries, but getting back into the world where
outward appearance is valued the most is very inspiring! Also, it
makes the reader reevaluate the problems encountered and com-
plained about when compared to Lolo’s.
-Gail Gantt
To Heaven and Back by Mary C. Neal
Loved this book for recounting Mary’s life and her experience of
life after death and back again .

A Tribute to My Father, Boyd B. Winans Pt. 2
By Boyd R. Winans
I don’t mean to say my father was perfect. He had his faults like every human does. He
slowly became addicted to alcohol to deaden the pain of depression, caused by marrying so
young and being responsible for supporting a family. I used to think he was partially responsible
for my mother’s death. She drank herself to death, but I now know they were both depressed. My
mother was bound and determined to die one way or another. Why do I say that? Because, I once
had to prevent her from jumping in the river, near our house. I now realize how profoundly de-
pressed she was.
After my mother died, my father did move in with his wife’s sister, my aunt. Yes, they
were living in sin, but my aunt had her first husband die years before. They did not marry, be-
cause they were both retired and living on social security. They were afraid the social security ad-
ministration would cut their benefits.
My aunt eventually died, over ten years later; my father moved to Georgia to live with my
brother and his wife. There, he died, but before he passed, he liked the climate in Georgia better
than Ohio. My father was not an overly religious man, but I think he developed a personal rela-
tionship with God in the last 5 to 10 years. He did love his wife and family with all his heart. Yes,
we were poor materially, but we always had food to eat and clothes to wear. Thank heaven my
father and God blessed me with an inquiring, searching spirit. I like the way it is stated in Mat-
thew 7:7 “Ask and it shall be given to you; seek, and ye shall find. Knock and it shall be opened
unto you.”
My life has been a long, hard struggle for truth and happiness in this fast paced world. My
life proves that the old adage, “truth is stronger than fiction.” If someone had predicted in the late
70s that I would get MS, end up happy at the age of 64 in spite of living in a nursing home, I
would have thought they were crazy or took too many drugs in the 60s. However, I did end up in
the nursing home and happy at 64.
At first, I must admit, I hated my name Boyd because it seemed dull and lacking any flash.
However, it fits me, for I am not flashy and I do physically look like father even though I act like
my mother. It’s nice to have a masculine, unique name even though I don’t consider myself very
masculine. As it is stated in Proverbs 22:1 “A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches.
Loving favor rather than silver and gold. “
Fifty one years may seem like a long time, but it was well worth the wait. I finally found
what is really important in life: developing a personal relationship with God. If my father, up in
heaven, could speak to me he would say (Proverbs 2:1-7) “ My son, if you receive my words and
treasure my commands within you, so that you incline your ear to wisdom and apply your heart
to understanding; yes if you cry out for discernment, and lift up your voice for understanding, if
you seek her as silver and search for her as hidden treasures; then you will understand the fear of
the Lord, and find the knowledge and understanding; He scores us sound wisdom for the upright;
He is a shield to those who walk uprightly.”
