Loe family standing strong against the storm By Michelle Boswell mboswell@thepaperofmiami.com Gary and Lisa Loe have been pillars in Peru for many years. Now they are leaning on their faith in God, family, and friends to get through a tough time. Gary Loe, who was a mailman in Peru for over 30 years, was diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer that had spread to his bones three years ago. After he went through chemotherapy, the prostate cancer went into remission, but he has continued to manage bone cancer. In November 2019, his PSA levels went up and it was determined the prostate cancer had returned. Loe had been taking a pill for nine months that was not effective all while disputing with the insurance company to approve a new pill. After several denials to have access to the new pill, Loe is going through chemotherapy again. He will have six infusions, three weeks apart. He has had one treatment so far. “He’s doing pretty well now but he had a bad week last week. He had chemo and spiked a fever. He was dehydrated from being so ill from chemo and we had to go to the emergency room. He’s doing so much better now,” said Lisa. Gary has been going to Parkview Hospital in Wabash for treatment and his oncologist comes from the IU Medical Center. Gary, well-known to those who have had sons or daughters in sports at Peru High School over the years, has happily been a part of Peru Tiger teams for many years. “With the pandemic, we are trying to keep him away from people, but he just loves his Peru High School sports,” Lisa explained. Gary has been keeping the score book for the Peru High School basketball team for about 25 years and has helped with the high school football team since the early 1990’s. He used to help with the “chain gang” along the sidelines before the 90’s. Loe also keeps stats for the high school baseball team and keeps the score book for the high school girls’ basketball team. Loe used to coach girls’ basketball as well. “We gotta get him well. This is what he lives for,” said Lisa. Lisa was a preschool teacher for many years in Peru but retired when her father became ill. She came out of retirement and has recently been serving as an aide, riding the bus with special needs students as a part-time job to help pay bills. Then COVID-19 came along, and she felt she needed to protect Gary from contracting the virus, so she had to leave her job. Lisa
Gary and Lisa Loe along with their daughters, left to right, Amber, Niki and Mandi. said “I wish there wasn’t COVID. Gary is such a people person. He needs people.” The Loes have three daughters, Mandi Bielanski, Niki Rodriguez and Amber Loe who have rallied around their parents to help wherever they can. “Mandy goes to a lot of appointments because I get flustered. Nikki and her family just moved here from Michigan to help and Amber, who lives in Schererville, Indiana, comes once a month to help as well,” said Lisa. While the daughters have been helping their parents, a granddaughter, Sammi, has come to stay with the Loes and that has been a lift to their spirits. “She’s good medicine for us so we don’t sit around and stew and worry,” Lisa said.
Lisa’s brother, Gary Downing, has also been helping keep things in shipshape around the Loe household. He has been mowing their grass and carrying salt for the softener. As Lisa put it, “a lot of odds and ends jobs that need done but we just can’t do it.” While their family has stepped in to help wherever they can through this difficult time, the community has also been reaching out to the Loes. “We are thankful to live in this community...all the phone messages and prayers…we are blessed. I think every church in Miami County has us on their prayer list. We are so blessed,” Lisa said. Ask anyone who has heard the words, “you have

cancer” and they will probably tell you it was one of the most difficult times in their life. If you talk to Gary, you will find a man who demonstrates strength, faith and most of all, a positive attitude. “He is a strong man and is always upbeat and positive. He is so faithful. He sits daily in prayer and silence for anywhere from a half an hour to an hour. He has a strong belief that he is here to help other people stay positive through these chemo treatments. His oncologist said he should teach a class on how to stay positive. Gary said he
Gary and Lisa Loe had no answer to why he is that way. Just a strong faith,” Lisa shared. Both Gary and Lisa, members of Saint Charles Catholic
Church in Peru, have a strong faith in God. In fact, Lisa said when they found out Gary had cancer the first time, they went directly to Father
Adam Mauman. He told us we should also pray to Saint Peregrine Laziosi, an Italian saint of the Servite Order. He is the patron saint for persons suffering from cancer, AIDS, or other illnesses. The Loes are not the type of people who ask for help. They are the ones who are always helping others but September 3, the tables were turned. Without their knowledge, a GoFundMe page was set up to help with Gary’s medical expenses. Their daughter, Mandi, wrote out a message about her parents and their situation

A caring community. “We are very blessed to live in this community. It’s nice to know your neighbors. We are so thankful,” Lisa said. And with that, the doorbell rang at the Loe residence at the end of the interview. No doubt it was a neighbor stopping by to help a couple of neighbors who happen to be the Loes.

Todd Young: Small businesses battered by COVID-19 need urgent help By U.S. Senators Michael Bennet and Todd Young This week, 8,706 small business owners from all 50 states wrote to Congress with an urgent message: We are running out of cash and running out of time. Small businesses are the heart of America’s economy, but COVID-19 has pushed hundreds of thousands to the brink of failure. Two
Half say it will take more than six months to fully recover. This is a code red moment for small businesses. It’s why nearly 2,000 buildings across the country — from Seattle’s Space Needle to New York’s Madison Square Garden — lit up in red lights earlier this Indiana Senator month to underscore Todd Young the need for urgent in three don’t have action. The action enough cash for three they’re all calling for months of expenses. is clear. As Congress
negotiates the next relief package, it must pass the RESTART Act. We wrote the RESTART Act to help America’s hardest-hit businesses stay afloat and keep workers on the job through the end of the year and into 2021. It’s the only bipartisan legislation of its kind — with 55 Republican and Democratic co-sponsors in the Senate — and momentum is building across the country.
Police appear. Dylan Jackson of 5052 Charmaine Ln, Plainfield, was arrested for criminal mischief. Sept. 10 Juveniles had left their residents’ house at 7648 S St. Road 19, Peru. The juveniles returned to their residence and the parents were notified. A suspicious package or item was reported at 2689 Capehart St, Peru. A transport issue was resolved at 1104 W 200 N, Miami County Jail, Peru. A transport issue was resolved at 1104 W 200 N, Miami County Jail, Peru. DUI was reported at S U.S. 31 and W 800 S, Bunker Hill. Officers were unable to catch up to the vehicle. A suspicious person or vehicle was reported at 3037 March St, Peru. A single vehicle accident where the vehicle left the scene was located at 11 W 950 S, Bunker Hill. The vehicle was located in Bunker Hill. This is an ongoing investigation. Kallista Klages of 463 W Third St, Peru, was arrested for neglect of a dependent. Aaron Hanby of 227 E Spring St, Peru, was arrested for operating while intoxicated. Sept. 11
Howard Schultz, former chairman and CEO of Starbucks, led this week’s letter that thousands of small business owners and chambers of commerce signed calling for Congress to pass longer-term support like the RESTART Act. Restaurant, brewery, salon, gym, hotel and retail shop owners have all called on Congress to pass RESTART, because they know it is the
single best proposal to save their businesses. Previous aid has run out. For these hard-hit businesses, federal relief through the Paycheck Protection Program provided a temporary respite. PPP loans covered only eight weeks of costs, a period that has come and gone, while businesses still remain months away from operating at full capacity.
Even if Congress includes additional PPP funding in the next relief package, many businesses would still be left in the lurch when that funding runs out at the end of the year. A longer-term solution is needed. Not to mention that due to restrictions in the program, many businesses wouldn’t be able to access the new funds. That’s why we need RESTART.
