8.11.2008 Doug Herlinger, manager of the Church Mouse Thrift Shop in Newton Falls, poses for a portrait at the store which faces financial hardships. "People's needs are going up as incomes are going down," says Herlinger who admits its become increasingly hard to keep the store open, on donations and sales alone, while facing rising utilities and requests from people lacking the money to pay for their selections.
