 Somewhere there’s an angel watching over special people.
People who make a difference in other’s lives, not for selfish reasons, but to see them succeed and be happy.
Glenn Buchert is one of those special people and he certainly has an angel, decades of former and current students and scores of friends looking out for him and praying for his recovery. Glenn, Mr. B, or Butch all refer to the same caring individual who suffered a massive stroke on November 4th, 2009.

 While small towns may not have all the glitz and glamour of the big city, their hometown love and support for each other is immeasurable. Almost immediately after the heartbreaking news of the single car accident hit Stark County, the gears of a huge support system started turning and they continue still almost a week later.
Friends began helping the families affected and thousands and thousands began praying for both the victims and their families.
Strangers delivered food to grieving parents, while others were themselves struggling with emotions at an impromptu gathering at the high school that night.
Students react and mourn
By 9 p.m. on that Tuesday night, Superintendent Jerry Klooster had cancelled classes at Stark County School District #100 for the following day. It would be a time to mourn for students and for them to receive help from counselors at their own will.

 President Pro Tem Greg Bartley opened the monthly Village meeting stating, “I would like to thank Carl Peve and the board for the water tower project and I’m very pleased with the results.” Bruner, Cooper, & Zuck representative Mike Greenlief spoke next to the Village board about the final bill for the tower project due his firm. Last month’s meeting left the board questioning the charges because of the way it was presented and explained to them at that time.
