Born in Stamford, in 1919 and raised in Ithaca, N.Y., Mr. Schickel Mr. Schickel graduated in 1944 from the University of Notre Dame, where he took up boxing as a way of taking on bullies who mocked his faith.

Mr. Schickel fell in love with Frei's 16-year old daughter, Mary, and they married two years later. She died in 2007. The Schickels moved to Loveland because of Mary Schickel's involvement in the Grail, a Catholic laywoman's movement. Mr.

Schickel established a design studio in 1948. The William Schickel Gallery continues to operate in Loveland.

By Jackie Demaline greater expe- LOVELAND William Schickel had a sacred passion. The longtime Loveland resident and father of 11 was a nationally known liturgical artist whose work spanned more than 60 years. It combined his skills as a sculptor, architectural designer, furniture designer, stained-glass artist and painter with his deep personal faith. Mr. Schickel, 89, died Tuesday of complications from pneumonia at Loveland Health Center.

Among his early work: the Grailville Oratory in Loveland, an 1813 barn converted into a chapel of inspiring grace. Mr. Schickel remarked on the project's link to the Nativity. "The barn at its best is an integration of splendor and humility that is expressive of the most fundamental Christian outlook." Another early architectural project was at Abbey of Gesthemani in Trappist, the oldest Trappist Abbey in the United States. The design of a conversion of the abbey won the American Institute of Architects' Gold Medal Award.

His life and career as an artist is chronicled in the book "Sacred Passion: The Art of William Schickel," by Gregory Wolfe. A second edition will be published this year by University of Notre Dame Press. The new edition, said son Joseph Schickel of Loveland, will include the renovation of Bellarmine Chapel at Xavier University and the Rotunda of Creation at Mercy Centers for Health and Wellness. "He remained productive to the very end, continuing to paint every day despite the difficulties of poor vision and arthritis," his son said. Writing about a Schickel retrospective at the Weston Art Gallery a decade ago, Enquirer arts reporter Owen Findsen noted, "Mr.

Schickel does not make art to call attention to himself. His spaces are made for meditation and for prayer. His art is designed to set a stage for a Polly DeAngelis was 'Flower Lady' By Denise Smith Amos mother died two years later. A few READING Polly J. years later, DeAngelis, a longtime Reading resident, volunteered for 18 years at Paint Creek State Park, where she was dubbed "the Flower Lady" for planting and maintaining thousands of perennials.

Mrs. DeAngelis, 88, died Thursday of congestive heart failure at Hospice of Cincinnati in Blue Ash. She and her late husband, Ralph, helped start a girls' softball league in Reading in the early 1960s that is part of the Valley Youth Organization. Mrs. DeAngelis volunteered and made floral wreaths and arrangements for fundraisers in Reading and elsewhere in the region, helping raise funds for community festivals, schools, fire houses and churches.

"My mother believed that she stayed young because she hung with the young," said her daughter Teresa DeAngelis of Loveland. "Up until a couple years ago she walked three miles a day, kept her own yard, stayed in her own home, and did her own Year after year, her home won beautification awards. At Paint Creek in Bainbridge, Ohio, she planted and cared for thousands of blooms in the campground, main entrance and pioneer farm. Ohio's Department of Natural Resources gave her an award and wrote in its bimonthly magazine in 2000, when she was 79: "She could have called it quits when she fell and broke her leg a few years ago. Instead, she was back in the park that same year." Polly Johnson was born near Gallatin, the seventh of eight children.

Her Ohio now requires State Fair to pay By Kathy Lynn Gray The Columbus Dispatch A provision in the new state budget that requires the Ohio Expositions Commission to kick in $1.7 million of its revenue has commissioners worried about the effect on next year's Ohio State Fair. Though the state fair essentially pays for itself, $1.7 million is about 13 percent of its $13.3 million budget. "We're going to have to figure out how to survive," General Manager Virgil Strickler said at a fair board meeting Thursday. He said no changes are expected for this year's fair, which opens its 12-day run July 29.
