News-Times reporter
Fritzi Stroh, 16. of Luebeck,
Germany is a foreign exchange student at Marion L.
Steele High School — but
not in the traditional sense.
Stroh's trip to America actually began three years ago
when Fritzi's older sister Ka-
thrina, came to America as an
exchange student. Kathrina
was assigned to live with the
Anthony Moreno Family at
90 Hickory Hollow Court.
The group supporting her,
the International Exchange
Forum went belly up, putting
Kathrina's visit in jeopardy.
As the two families worked
on both sides of the Atlantic
to cut through the international red tape, the Morenos
and Strohs became the best
of friends.
With all the legalities involved it seemed the most
practical solution to the problem was for the Morenos to
take legal custody of Kathrina
for the duration of her stay.
When Fritzi decided to
come to the United States
three years later, both families
insisted that Fritzi stay with
the Morenos.
Last July the Stroh family,

After a week of sightseeing, taking care of the legalities and visiting with each
other, the Stroh family returned to Luebeck, and Fritzi
came to Amherst with the
Morenos.
Fritzi's American family includes father Anthony, an air

and brothers Anthony, 10, and
Daniel, 7.
Fritzi's German brother
Philipp, 10, will probably follow the same path if he decides to study in America.
The Moreno family is scheduled to attend Kathrina's
graduation in Luebeck, Ger
many, in June.
Stroh is a full time-student,
taking classes in English literature, Spanish and astronomy.

She hopes to avoid that extra year by "testing out" of

around a 100 lbs., but she
has earned the position of the
girl's varsity top seeded
player on the high school tennis team. She took fust place

Congregations merge; face
decisioaon building fates
~*aaema,saa,X+-1„ , rwmtW
Westminster Presbyterian Church
of Lorain and Northminster Presbyterian Church of Amherst have
joined forces to become Heritage
Presbyterian Church.
The newly established congregation met for first time Sunday, Oct
3. A new marquee has been erected
at the old Northminster location at
SIS North Leavitt Road where the
combined congregations presendy
meet
A general decline in the memberships of both churches over the last
few yean has concerned both
groups. The problem was compounded at Westminster with the
need to locate a new pastor, with the
retirement of Pastor Ted Blunk.
The process of locating a new
pastor is often lengthy, and notorious for substantial declines in
weekly attendance.
Merger seemed like the most favorable solution. Rev. Jim Smucker,
Pastor of the Northminster church
was given the nod to pastor the new
congregation.
At the Sep. 26 joint meeting, both
parties also adopted a plan for union, established a set of bylaws, and
created "terms of service'' for the
Pastorate.
Ironically, both Westminster and
Northminster churches were
founded by the same parent church,
First Presbyterian Church in South
Lorain.
Heritage Presbyterian Church will
begin with around 250 to 27S members. The merger does create
another problem. One new congregation with two church buildings.
Discussions are presendy being
conducted to determine what to do
with the "extra" building. Some of
the members favor selling one of the
structures and using the capital to
improve the other. Others favor
keeping both and using one as a
type of community center. A third
option being considered, is to sell
both buildings and build a new
structure more centrally located.
"We are looking for an outside
consultant to determine the asset
values of both properties," Smucker
said. Once the values are assessed,
all the options will be evaluated.
Both churches currendy have out-
