BOUNDARIES

DIANNE’S DOGHOUSE

BOUNDARIES

It seemed like an impossible choice, adopt a rescue dog, or pick out a puppy. Ken and I had a fenced-in back yard and we could give a home to a dog in need, but we were waiting for direction or guidance. We found a place that had a litter of puppies and spent an hour surrounded by impossibly furry bundles of energy whose teeth were so small we couldn’t even feel them gnawing on our toes. We held them and snuggled them, looked at each other and knew these pups weren’t for us.

On our way home we felt led to stop at our vet’s office. As soon as we entered, our vet came out with a little two-year-old neglected boy and said, “I feel this little guy should go home with you.” As this pup crawled onto my lap on the way home, I knew that this decision… God’s decision, had been right all along.

Ken and I named our boy Simon Peter but nicknamed him The Great Houdini. Pete was the dog version of this great artist. Pete could climb and jump and wedge his little body through a slightly opened door. Just when we thought we had tackled every escape situation, he found a new way out.

I used to love to read in the back yard and have Pete on the bench next to me untethered. While I was engrossed in my book, Pete would slither off the bench and be halfway up Center Street, before I sensed his absence. Determined to thwart him, I barricaded off the north side of the house with fence and trellis. The little stinker turned his attention to the south side and off he went, either chasing an Amish buggy or checking out the customers at SAVE-A-LOT.

Pete hadn’t ignored his boundaries to be bad or because he wanted to leave his nice cozy home. He was just curious and wanted a squirrel or a bird or a horse, “good things.” Boundaries stood in the way of his pleasure. Since he was a dog, he didn’t know boundaries were for his benefit, so he wouldn’t be hurt or even killed.

God sets up fences for us, just like I did for Pete, to keep us from harm and sometimes from death. While we are chasing “good things,” like Pete did, God sees the danger and draws us closer to Him. Pete didn’t try to escape anymore, he just basked in my love and stayed safe within his boundaries.

Slow your pace, draw boundaries around your work, and take time for the people you love.

Blessings,

Dianne Hammontree Secretary of Homeward Bound Dog Shelter

Miller/DeWine Issues Statement on the Hamas Attack of Israel

COLUMBUS, OH – State Rep. Melanie Miller (R-City of Ashland) has released the following statement condemning the Hamas bombing into Israel:

“The unprovoked attack by Hamas on the people of Israel is truly horrific. This senseless terrorist attack underscores the need for a unified response against such violence and cowardice. My heart goes out to the victims and their families. I stand firmly with our Israeli friends and Prime Minister Netanyahu as they defend themselves. May we all pray for Israel.”

###

State Representative Melanie Miller is currently serving her first term in the Ohio House of Representatives. She represents the 67th House District, which includes all of Ashland County and the western portion of Medina County.

 

Governor DeWine Issues Statement on the Hamas Bombing into Israel

(COLUMBUS, Ohio)—Governor Mike DeWine issued the following statement condemning the Hamas bombing into Israel:

“Fran and I extend our deepest sympathies to the victims and their families of the unprovoked attack on Israel today. We offer our support to the people of Israel and condemn this unjustified act by Hamas.”

AU Theatre presenting Pulitzer-prize winning play “Proof” Oct. 19-22

ASHLAND, Ohio – The Ashland University Department of Theatre is presenting the Pulitzer-prize winning play “Proof” by David Auburn from Thursday through Sunday, Oct. 19-22. All performances will take place at the Studio Theatre in the Center for the Arts, with the Thursday, Friday and Saturday shows beginning at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday’s matinee at 2 p.m.

“Proof” is part of the College of Arts and Science’s Symposium Against Indifference: Perspectives on the Mental Health Crisis series this year. There will be a panel discussion with local mental health professionals following the Sunday show.

In addition, there will be an open house and reception for AU theatre alumni and friends on Saturday at 4 p.m., as part of AU’s Homecoming festivities. The reception will be held on the stage of the Hugo Young Theatre and the theatre spaces, scene and costume shops will be open.

“Proof” focuses on Catherine whose father Robert was a mathematical genius and professor. She had spent years taking care of him, but his recent passing raises several questions, such as should she leave Chicago to live with her sister Claire in New York, how much of her father’s genius or madness will she inherit and what is to become of the 103 notebooks he left behind that one of his former students, Hal, hopes to find something valuable in. When a mathematical proof of historical proportions is discovered, its authorship tests the bonds of family loyalty and love.

“Proof” premiered in 2000 and was adapted into a major Hollywood film in 2005. This production is directed by Teresa Durbin-Ames, associate professor of theatre at AU, while Catherine will be played by Mattie Vermilya, Robert by Gabe Noble, Claire by Ellie Nickoli and Hal by Keever Whitehead.

Additional students working on the production include Saylor Starkey (stage manager), Lily Dowler (props master), Tobin Grendzynski (assistant light designer), Jesse Baker (assistant sound engineer) and Anthony Marchetta (assistant director). Guest artists consist of Justin Miller (scenic designer), D. Justin Bilewicz (costume designer) and Seth Morrison (lighting designer and technical director).
