PAULDING Pastor Dwayne Richardson
of the House of Love Ministries is asking the
community to support him in prayer as he un-
dergoes a 30-day total fast.
I believe the Lord spoke to me and told me
to fast, said Pastor Dwayne on Monday.
The pastor senses a need for spiritual break-
through personally, in his congregation, and
the community at large. He is petitioning God
for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit, deliver-
ance, healing, obedience, peace and financial
freedom.
Jesus told his disciples that deliverance of
certain kinds comes through fasting and
prayer, said the man of God.
Two references in the New Testament are
made to this. Matt. 17:21 says, However, this
kind does not go out except by prayer and fast-
ing. The second is Mark 9:29, So He said to
them, This kind can come out by nothing but
prayer and fasting. New KJV
Noting that over half the people he has min-
istered to since serving here have been affect-
ed by child abuse and/or incest, he said there
are demonic strongholds in this area.
Its almost like its a norm here, he said.
Thats a big problem.
People convert to Christ, but then fall

PAULDING The main
historic Carnegie library in
Paulding will be undergoing
substantial interior refurbish-
ing this summer that will in-
clude new paint throughout
and new carpet on the main
floor.
In preparation for the cen-
tennial celebration, the library
has awarded All Trades
Restoration LLC the contract
to manage this project.
We have enjoyed our pink
library for decades, said
Susan Pieper, library director.
But, it is time for a change.
The library will be painted in
more neutral earth tones that
will blend beautifully with
our existing warm walnut
stained shelving units.
The entire project will
begin June 27 with the south
genealogy wing, followed by
the north non-fiction wing,
the east fiction wing, the ele-
vator alcoves and the lower
floor. The project should be
completed by September.
We are hoping to keep the
library open throughout this
refurbishing, states Pieper.
The only time we may have
to close is for the carpeting.
Most areas will be accessible
during the work. For more in-
formation contact Susan
Pieper at 419-399-2032.

60 people. Less than 10 have
stayed to become a consistent
part of the congregation.
People are struggling finan-
cially. These types of things I
will pray and fast for, said
the pastor.
His vigil will begin
Wednesday, June 26 and will
come to an end Thursday,
July 25. He will be under a
doctors supervision over the
course of the 30 days.
Pastor Dwayne said he will
be at the church for the dura-
tion of his fast. Others may
join him there for prayer and
to do fasts of their own, as
they feel led of God. Contact
him or his wife, Brenda, at 1-

Pastor Dwayne encourages
anyone from the community
to stop in to undergird his ef-
forts with their own.

has spoken with other pastors
in town and has their support,
he is unaware of any organ-

The chamber would also
like to let the community and
its donors know that the
chamber has no future plans
in the next few years to do
anymore demolition projects,
largely due to the amount that
has been given over the past
two years and we cannot jus-

FORT BROWN On June
29, Fort Brown will be cele-
brating their bicentennial with
a ceremony and the dedication
of a cement bench. The event
is being held to commemorate
the days over 200 years ago
when soldiers of the War of
1812 served here under one
flag.
Fort Brown has changed
quite a bit in the last few
months as they prepare for the
event. A split rail fence has
been put up along the Little
Auglaize by Boy Scout mem-
ber, Tristan Knott, as part of
his Eagle Scout project.
The Oakwood Arbor of the
Gleaners Life Insurance
Society has also helped with
sprucing up the area and the
new bench, donated by The
Jacob Stemple Chapter
Daughters of the War of 1812,
will be set in place this week.
The cement bench was being
made by Homiers Monu -
mental of Defiance.
Fort Brown is set on the
banks of the confluence of the
Auglaize and the Little
Auglaize rivers. The fort is still
in a quiet, rural setting with
both rivers visible from the
1812 monument placed at the
site in 1953.
The program will begin at 10
a.m. with the presentation of
colors, followed by the invoca-
tion given by pastor of the

PAYNE Payne Village
Council met in regular session
on Monday, June 24. Council
agreed to proceed with the fire
station energy audit, passed
two operating levy renewal
resolutions, and heard a pres-
entation concerning the vil-
lages infrastructure assess-
ment.
Current Energy Solutions
from Ohio City performed a
facility energy audit on the fire
station to determine electricity
savings. It was determined that
a savings of $1,012.76 would
occur each year using fluores-
cent bay fixtures. The initial
cost would be $6,077 minus a
grid smart rebate of $925 for a
total cost of $5,152.
A motion by Feasby, sec-
onded by Miller to proceed
with the audit unanimously
passed.
Ken Sander and Rachel
Latta, from Feller, Finch &
Associates located in Maumee,
presented council with infor-
mation in putting a five-year
plan together for the villages
infrastructure.
There are less grants out
there for communities to se-
cure. More and more, we are
seeing communities seeking
out low interest loans, said
Latta.

COLUMBUS In an annual coordinated ef-
fort with the National Weather Service, the
Ohio Committee for Severe Weather Awareness
promotes June 23-29 as Lightning Safety
Awareness Week and encourages all Ohioans to
know what to do before, during and after severe
thunder and lightning storms, and to practice se-
vere thunderstorm safety and preparedness
throughout the summer.
According to the National Weather Service
(NWS), to date, there have been seven lightning
fatalities this year: two in Florida; two in
Illinois; and one each in Louisiana, Missouri
and Texas. All were outside; four were in or
near bodies of water. A total of 28 people in 17
states died of lightning strikes in 2012, includ-
ing an Ohio man who was doing yard work at
the time.
Although the number of lightning fatalities
continues to decrease over the years, lightning
strikes continue to be one of the top three storm-
related killers in the United States. It is impor-
tant to note that lightning injures more people
than it kills. The best protection from lightning
is to avoid the threat.
Performing this simple measure can dramati-
cally reduce the chance of severe injury or death
during a storm: When thunder roars, go in-
doors! Stop outdoor activities and seek shelter
immediately.
Summertime is peak season for thunderstorm
activity in Ohio. Preparedness for thunder-
storms or any severe weather incident is key.
Be Informed. Know what to do before,
during and after severe weather. For thunder
and lightning safety tips, click on:
www.ready.gov/thunderstorms-lightning
Make a Plan. Develop a disaster plan to
respond to all hazards, including thunderstorms
and lightning. Sign up for First Aid or CPR
courses. Practice disaster plans by conducting
safety drills.
Build a Kit. Organize or restock emer-
gency supply kits for the home and vehicle to be
prepared for any incident.
The NWS and Ohio Committee for Severe
Weather Awareness also suggest the following
lightning safety measures:
Watch for developing thunderstorms
Thunderstorms are most likely to develop on
spring or summer days, but can also occur at
night and during any season. Listen to local
weather reports on radio or television stations.
Know the difference between storm watches
and warnings. Purchase a NOAA Weather
Radio with tone alert that notifies when haz-
ardous weather is in or near your area.
Seek shelter before an approaching
thunderstorm Lightning can strike as far as
10 miles away from where its raining. If you
can hear thunder, you are within striking dis-
tance. Seek immediate shelter. Know the 30/30
Lightning Safety Rule: Go indoors if after see-
ing lightning you cannot count to 30 before
hearing thunder. Stay indoors for 30 minutes
after hearing the last clap of thunder. Continue
to listen to a NOAA Weather Radio or local TV
or radio newscasts for weather updates.
Protect your pets Outside dog houses
are not lightning-safe. Dogs that are chained to
trees or wire runners have no protection from
lightning. Bring your pets inside during thun-
derstorms.
Minimize your risk Most lightning
strikes occur during the summer when people
are participating in outdoor recreational activi-
ties. At the first clap of thunders, stop outdoor
activities and try to find indoor shelter immedi-
ately. If swimming, boating or fishing, get away
from the water as quickly as possible. Find shel-
ter in a substantial building (such as a home,
school, office building or shopping center) or a
hard-topped vehicle. Picnic shelters, car ports,
baseball dugouts and convertible vehicles are
not safe shelters during thunder and lightning
storms. Do not use electrical equipment. Stay
away from water/plumbing sources. Wait at
least 30 minutes after the last sound of thunder
before going outside again.
Helping someone struck by lightning If
a person is struck by lightning, call 911 and seek
immediate medical attention. A lightning victim
does not carry an electrical charge and is safe to
touch. Knowing and implementing first aid
measures, which include cardiopulmonary re-
suscitation (CPR), can help a person struck by
lightning survive. Local American Red Cross
chapters and fire departments often offer first
aid and CPR classes.
For additional information on lightning safe-
ty, visit the Ohio Committee for Severe Weather
Awareness site at www.weathersafety.ohio.gov
or the NWS site at

year plans to include building
and roadway improvements,
sidewalk programs, storm
water projects, to name a few.
Having a five-year plan al-
lows you to be creative, set pri-
orities, and maximize your fi-
nancial resources, said Latta.
Two resolutions, one for po-
lice and one for fire, unani-
mously passed. The renewals
allow the operating levies for
both fire and police, not to ex-
ceed the 10-mill limitation to
be on the ballot.
These are simply renewals
and will not result in any kind
of increase, said Deputy
Fiscal Officer Cheryl Halter.
In other business:
Council agreed to contract
with Comp Management as
their Workers Com pen sation
representative.
Three trees located in the
AEP utility easement near the
new cell tower will be trans-
planted in one of the villages
parks.
Mike Denning asked
council what could be done to
re-route the grain truck traffic
during the monthly car show.
Council will submit a letter to
the state along with a alternate
route.
The benefit for Chase
Holt is scheduled for Saturday,
June 29. Several events will
take place in the village with
the local EMS being present if
needed.
Energy audit at fire
station to save
Payne Village money
State auditor points out minor problems in Oakwood audit
By BILL SHERRY
Correspondent
OAKWOOD Oakwood Village
Council met Monday, June 24.
Mayor Erhard Bud Henke ad-
vised council that Fiscal Officer
Susan Barron, Council President
Todd Dangler and he had met with
the state auditor who is auditing the
books.
In this preliminary meeting, the
state auditor identified numerous
situations in which he disagreed
with how items were entered into
record. These discrepancies ranged
from contesting the accounts dif-
ferent funds in which different
transactions were recorded to the
handling of various situations
caused by the collapse of the
Oakwood Deposit Bank.
Three items were corrected at
Mondays meeting as council unan-
imously agreed to:
move $1,095 from the Street
Fund to the General Fund (this
transaction was from 2009)
move $2,647.41 from the State
of Ohio Highway fund to the Street
Fund
move $2,825.52 from the Gas
Construction Fund to the Natural
Gas Fund.
There were other minor issues
concerning the audit that will be
acted on once the audit is final and
released by the auditor.
Fire Chief Kenny Thomas plans
to travel to Alabama later this week
to check out the new fire truck. If
the truck is okay, paperwork will be
completed and Thomas will drive
the truck back to Oakwood.
In light of Thomas upcoming
travel plans, council discussed get-
ting a credit card that could be used
for travel and other village busi-
ness. Barron will check with State
Bank.
Mayor Henke told council that
the sewer and water lines are now
installed out to the new Cooper
truck wash facility location. The
lines will be tested next week in ad-
dition to installing a new hydrant.
Mayor Henke also informed
council that the grant to renovate
and repave South First Street had
failed as it did not receive enough
points to provide funding. There is
not enough money in the village ac-
count to complete the project and
there are no other grants in the near
future. Henke proposed that the vil-
lage rework the edges of the street
then hire someone to repave it.
It was noted by Mayor Henke and
Police Chief Mark Figert that the
Auglaize River dock facility was
getting a lot of use again this year.
Figert commented that last
Saturday, he counted 14 boat trail-
ers in the parking lot.
Mayor Henke announced that the
spring cleanup went well and coun-
cil decided to have another village
cleanup in the fall. Village adminis-
trator John Keyes will get a date set
up with the Oakwood Boy Scout
troop for this fall cleanup day.
Council also met earlier in the
month in a short meeting and they
unanimously adopted Resolution
13-R-06 requesting the Paulding
County Auditor to certify to the
Village of Oakwood its current tax
valuation and dollar amount of tax
revenue.
The next regular meeting is
scheduled for 6:30 p.m. July 8.

The Amish Cook
By: Lovina Eicher
abeth and Timothy were
table-waiters.
Each of us cooks were as-
signed to different jobs. I had
to help slice the loaves of
bread and cut the cakes.
When our job was finished,
there were plenty of dishes to
wash. We all had a turn to
help serve at one of the meals
which was filling all the
bowls for the table-waiters to
pass out. I had to serve pota-
toes for supper. It was nice to
see and visit with a lot of our
aunts, uncles and cousins we
dont often see.
The remaining part of the
week will be spent cleaning
everything for church serv-
ices here again on Sunday.
Our house was all cleaned
very well before the first
services so we will just have
to re-clean where needed.
The boys are weeding the
garden now. The weeds sure
are starting to take over. We
have been having some nice
rains which we appreciate
even more since the drought
last year.
The benches are still
stacked up in the basement
from the last church services.
They will just have to be set
up again Friday or Saturday.
Daughter Elizabeth was 19
on Friday, June 14. How the
years have flown by! Sister
Emma and Jacob was married
18 years on Saturday, June
15. Elizabeth was a year old
the day before their wedding.
Yesterday was the wedding
of nephew Noah and Ruby in
northern Indiana. They had a
big wedding with lots of
friends and family attending
from various communities in
Indiana, Ohio, Michigan,
Missouri, New York, Wiscon-
sin, Kentucky, and possibly
more states.
I went to help prepare for
the wedding on Saturday. We
cut up and cleaned 400
pounds of chicken and baked
pecan pies. The rhubarb and
blueberry pies were baked on
Monday. A total of over 90
pies were baked for the wed-
ding.
On Monday, daughter Eliz-
abeth and I, finished sewing
our wedding dresses for the
wedding. It sure was a relief
to get those done.
Their menu for the wed-
ding noon meal was barbe-
cued chicken, mashed
potatoes, gravy, noodles,
dressing, mixed vegetables,
lettuce, salad, cottage cheese
salad, sliced cheese, home-
made bread, butter and straw-
berry jam, date pudding,
mixed fruit, white angel food
cake with strawberry topping,
rhubarb, pecan, and blueberry
pies.
For the evening meal they
added ham, strawberries, and
ice cream to the menu. They
had 16 couples of a boy and
girl paired to serve as table-
waiters. Three couples were
coffee servers. Daughter Eliz-
It is nice to have the chil-
dren all home from school for
the summer. Before we know
it, the seed corn will be ready
to de-tassel.

Summer lunch
for kids at park
Dear Editor,
I just wanted to let the
people of Paulding County
know about the summer
lunch program for kids ages
1-18 at LaFountain Park.
The food is very good and
there is a program for the
kids. Last week our church
served the lunch and the li-
brary personnel did the pro-
gram. Kirk did an
outstanding job with the
kids.
If you are in Paulding,
come and visit. All of the
kids are welcome.
Food is served from 11:30
a.m. until 12:15 p.m. and the
program after lunch is 30-40
minutes. There is also a
great park for the kids.
Thanks, Gerry for a good
job.

Bargain Bin a
vibrant part of
Paulding Hospital
Dear Editor,
The Bargain Bin of Pauld-
ing County Inc. is a vibrant
part the Paulding County Hos-
pital. We take your cast offs
and resell them at a dis-
counted price. All monies are
then returned to the Paulding
County Hospital. In the past
years, since the early 1960s,
donations of over $1 million
have been given back to the
hospital for the physical ther-
apy department-rehab depart-
ment.
The polio epidemic of the
late 50s and 60s that ran
rampant through our county
brought a group of volunteers
together to see what could be
done to help polio patients
rehab at our local hospital in-
stead of traveling miles for
treatments. Since that time,
all of the monies from the
Bargain Bin are returned to
the rehab department for ex-
ercise and rehabilitation
equipment.
Recently I heard a news
report that the bins that are
showing up around town
that are advertising for cloth-
ing are questionable. There
is no question to where the
money goes from the Bar-
gain Bin of Paulding
County.
There are no paid person-
nel, all monies are returned
to the hospital and we dis-
card only soiled or broken
items.
On a weekly basis, new
items are put on racks and
the old items are sent to the
Fort Wayne Missions.
Thanks to everyone who
supports the BB.
Hours are Friday 9 a.m.-5
p.m. and Saturday 9 a.m.-
noon. We are located on
West Perry Street one block
west of the courthouse. Drop
offs are every Monday
morning, or we do have an
enclosed building that you
can use for your donations at
the back of the building.
We have a wish list of
finding a new home. We
could be more feasible to the
community if we had a big-
ger building.
Eileen Kochensparger
BB secretary
Daughter
defends dad
Dear Editor,
Over the past month there
have been a lot of rumors
spread about my father,
Tony Zartman that I would
like to address, as I am sure
many of you would do if a
member of your family was
in the same situation.
One of the most disturbing
rumors I have heard so far is
that my father sees no harm
in behaving cruelly towards
animals and has even
drowned a kitten instead of
finding it a home. Over my
lifetime, I have seen many
animals come into our fam-
ily home, and not once have
I seen my father mistreat one
of them, but instead, I have
only seen him act towards
them with affection and re-
spect. One of our own dogs
was adopted, so we know
first hand the value and love
that an adopted dog can
bring to a family. I, myself,
am even a vegetarian due to
my deep love for all animals
that my parents passed on to
me. To propose that my dad
does not care about the fate
of the dogs in the county is a
preposterous, untrue state-
ment. Have you ever even
given a thought to the fact
that the new changes could
benefit the county and
maybe you should give them
a chance?
I would also like to point
out the fact that at the time
of the windmill lease sign-
ings, my parents only owned
one piece of land, which a
lease was signed for, termi-
nated, and the ground was
sold. My grandparents did
have more leases signed on
their land (not that my dad
received any money from
them), but they too were ter-
minated without the construc-
tion of any windmills. I am
confused as to why there is
still controversy over the
windmills considering it is old
news and they bring money
into the county, is it because
your land was not chosen for
any leases, or the fact that you
do not own any land to be
chosen? I would just like to
remind everyone that deci-
sions can only be made with a
two-thirds vote from the three
commissioners, and my father
is only one man.
Since some people
deemed fit to dig even
deeper into my fathers past
and bring up his involve-
ment in the Dallas Lamb
Foundation closing the nurs-
ing home in Payne, some
things need to be clarified
about that as well. When
they asked my father to join
the foundation board, they
did so with full knowledge
that they were already in
poor condition financially
with a strong possibility of a
future closing. My father
readily joined to try to find a
solution in any way he could
because of his concern for
the community and the peo-
ple in it. During this whole
process, my dad never re-
ceived one cent of payment
for his service, unlike many
of those before him. If my
dad was getting rich off of
the county this whole time,
then why would my mom
work three jobs, and my dad
work two?
I was able to restrain from
correcting the false accusa-
tions about my father until
his faith and service to God
was questioned. Throughout
my freshmen year at college,
I struggled with a lot of
stress and being homesick.
My fathers constant re-
minder to look to God dur-
ing the rough times and the
bible versus he texted me on
my worst days were the only
things that got me through
the year. He has constantly
pushed my siblings and I to
pursue a strong relationship
with our heavenly Father
and serve him in any way
that we could. My whole life
my father was always the
first to educate me about
Gods word and is volun-
teered to say the prayer before
dinner at almost every func-
tion he attends. When people
ask me who my biggest influ-
ence and role model was for a
Christian life, I answer my
dad without any hesitation.
Currently, my father is guid-
ing my fianc and I through a
class about baptism before he
baptizes us on June 29. Those
who truly know my father
would never doubt his faith,
commitment, and service
God.
I wanted to write this let-
ter to remind those who
know my father, and inform
those that do not, what a lov-
ing husband, father, friend,
neighbor, and servant he
truly is that deserves better
than to have petty lies spread
about him. I know without a
doubt that God is the pilot of
my fathers life. Can you say
the same about your own?
There are six things the
Lord hates, seven that are
detestable to him: haughty
eyes, a lying tongue, hands
that shed innocent blood, a
heart that devises wicked
schemes, feet that are quick
to rush into evil, a false wit-
ness who pours out lies, and
a person who stirs up con-
flict in the community.

In My Opinion
Dust in the wind
I was randomly surfing the Internet the other day when I
came across a question from a major national magazine that
stopped me cold, When cleaning your home, should you
vacuum first, then dust, or dust first and then vacuum? Click
here to learn the correct method and dispel the myths.
My brain was having
trouble processing this
headline. Is this really a
major concern? Are people
fretting so much over the
correct order of cleaning
their homes that they need
an educational article on
the Internet to guide them? Are there folks out there stand-
ing, dumbfounded, dust rag in one hand and vacuum in the
other, waiting for a green light to proceed appropriately?
As a longtime frazzled mom, my first reaction to the vac-
uum/dust, dust/vacuum conundrum presented was: Wait.
We are supposed to do both? On the same day?
My dilemma has always been whether I should dust or
vacuum. Or, more realistically, whether I should attempt to
clean anything or just close my eyes to the growing herd of
dust bunnies, grab a bag of Doritos and convince my kids it
was a healthy supper as I taxied them to and from unending
games, practices and events.
I was never the type to be concerned over which house-
cleaning chore I should do first. I was more the type to close
off rooms and hope and pray no one came to visit. Our new
church pastor showed up once, and I had to move home-
work, approximately 13 pairs of shoes and, yes, a bag of
Doritos in order for him to sit on the couch. (I desperately
hoped he wouldnt offer to play the piano in the corner, be-
cause I knew the keys sported impressive layers of dust. I
began to concoct an excuse that the dust was really an exotic
collection of volcanic ash, but I couldnt bring myself to fib
to a pastor.)
My second reaction was, People, we have lost our
minds. I like a clean house, dont get me wrong. But nowa-
days, it seems the focus on super-sanitizing and germ-proof-
ing everything we see and touch, and worrying over how
much to dust and vacuum, has gone a tad overboard. In fact,
a study released last year and published in the Journal of Al-
lergy and Clinical Immunology surmised that a too-clean
environment is not good for your health. This theory, called
the hygiene hypothesis, holds that when exposure to para-
sites, bacteria, and viruses is limited early in life, children
face a greater chance of having allergies, asthma, and other
autoimmune diseases during adulthood.
Even so, I couldnt help clicking on the link for the an-
swer. I discovered it is much better to dust first and then vac-
uum, so one can sweep up any residue released through
dusting. What a relief! Now, I can confidently swipe away
those Doritos crumbs from my coffee table, knowing that I
can simply vacuum them later and that I will definitely not
have an asthma attack when I do it.

Golfers set
record at
Pleasant
Valley GC
PAYNE Devon Snyder
and Derek Langmeyer had
the day off work on June 19.
They both love playing golf
at Pleasant Valley Golf
Course in Payne and decided
to spend the day there. They
arrived at the course at 7 a.m.
and left at 9:15 p.m. after
having played 100 holes of
golf.
Pleasant Valley is a nine-
hole course so this meant they
had to play 11 rounds plus
one hole, setting a record at
Pleasant Valley.
They each took about 430
strokes for said holes, having
four rounds of 36 or better.
The high round was 45 and
the low round was 32.
Needless to say, they were
golfed out when they fin-
ished! In the future, they just
might try to play 200 holes in
one day. Good luck, guys!

A Penny For
Your Thoughts....
By: Nancy Whitaker
MY FIRSTS
All through our lives we
have a series of firsts. First
happenings in our life can
make us excited, lonely, sad,
joyful, happy or even afraid.
Some of them we like to re-
member, others we want to
forget.
I remember the first time I
rode a bicycle. I was nervous,
scared and excited. I fell off
that bike many times and had
a lot of scraped knees, but
was so happy when I could fi-
nally ride that bike up and
down our road.
One of my first memo-
ries was when I was 3 years
old and sang a song in
church. I was happy and
proud, but a little apprehen-
sive. However, I went up to
the platform and sang the
song, Hand In Hand With
Jesus. That first I will
never forget.
Remember your first day of
school? I remember having a
few new clothes, a yellow
tablet, pencil and a box of eight
crayons. It was the first time I
had been away from my mom
any length of time, so it was a
happy but frightening first.
I also remember when each
of my kids had their first day of
school. I cried for each one as
they boarded the school bus.
Going back to the 1960s, I
think about the first TV set we
ever had. It was a small screen,
black and white, but oh, we
were so proud to have it.
Do you remember when you
drove a car for the first time?
When we were 16 years old,
we could get a drivers permit.
Drivers education was taught
as part of our daily curriculum.
I always felt sorry for the
teacher, because more than one
of us gave him many frighten-
ing moments as we took our
first time behind the wheel.
Then there are really impor-
tant events when you really
want to be first. We always
had to line up in school by al-
phabetical order. My last name
started with a W so I was al-
ways close to the end of the
line. I always said I was going
to marry someone whose name
began with A, so if we ever had
to line up again, alphabetically,
I would be one of the first. (I
married another W.)
Then there are first dates. On
my very first date, my mom
stood inside by the porch light
when I got home and flipped
the porch light off and on until
I came in. I was embarrassed,
but I learned first hand to
come in before she turned on
the light.
When thinking of the word
first I think of the first day of
summer, the first robin, the first
fish we catch, the first ripe
tomato from the garden, and
the first firefly at night.
In the fall it is the first frost
and in winter the first snow-
fall.
I was a little older when I
flew in an airplane for the
first time. That flight was
filled with turbulent weather,
lightning, and the powerful
wind blew the air craft around.
To say the least, it was an un-
forgettable first flight.
One of the firsts I was al-
ways proud of was my first job.
I hand washed big pots and
pans at the local hospital. I was
only 15, so it was no problem
to walk quite a ways to earn
that 60 cents per hour. I felt like
a rich girl.
I like to think of all the firsts,
not just in the past, but what
else I may experience in the fu-
ture as a first. There are a lot
of places I havent seen, differ-
ent foods I havent tried, many
songs I havent sung and many
dreams I have not dreamed.
Whether we are at home, at
school, at work or at church,
there are many firsts just wait-
ing to happen.
One thing I hate to think
about are those people who
think there will never be any
more firsts in their lives. Hope-
fully, we will continue to have
a series of firsts all of our
lives until we can honestly say,
Been there. Done that.
Do you recall any firsts in
your life? Do you expect more
firsts? Let me know and Ill
give you a Penny For Your
Thoughts.
Are there black bears in Ohio?
By Mark Holtsberry
Education specialist
Paulding SWCD
The black bear is native to Ohio and on the
states endangered species list. All black bears
in Ohio are protected by state law.
Black bears were considered extirpated
from Ohio in the 1850s. The Native American
population of that time period used the black
bear for food, shelter, bedding, weapons and
utensils. In other words, nothing went to
waste.
But as the years passed new laws and regu-
lations on bear hunting helped to bring back
the black bears population.
In 2012, the Ohio Department of Natural
Resources received 224 sightings and 93 of
those sightings were confirmed. Twenty-one
counties had confirmed sightings in 2012 and
each year the number of sightings and confir-
mations seem to grow in numbers.
Portage County in northeast Ohio, has had
the most sightings, followed by Trumbull,
Ashtabula, Geauga and Mahoning. But, along
with the confirmed sightings, nuisance reports
followed. In 2012, 39 nuisance reports were
filed and 17 were confirmed as bear nuisance.
Nuisance or destructive behavior includes
damage to bird feeders, bee hives and garbage
containers.
In Ohio, black bears were sighted during
every month with 80 percent of the sightings
taking place during May-September. Black
bears fear people and do not attack or kill chil-
dren or pets, as long as it is given its space and
not cornered. (This is according to the
ODNR.) However, it is suggested that you enjoy
watching them from a distance.
Will you see a black bear at the Nature Center
park or on the trails? Probably not, but since
1993, bears have been reported in 59 and con-
firmed in 50 of Ohios 88 counties. This has all
been since 1993, when the wildlife division
began keeping formal records of observations.
Enjoy your walk and tour of the Black Swamp
Nature park. Please help raise the rest of the
money needed for the resurfacing paving project
at the park.

Ditch maintenance vital to
county agriculture success
By JIM LANGHAM
Feature Writer
PAULDING Theres
never a dull moment in Ryan
Mapes activities for a day.
Mapes now is overseeing
276 miles of ditches that
drain over 200,000 acres in
agriculturally productive
Paulding County.
Previously Tim Franklin
serviced as county ditch su-
pervisor, Franklin retired ear-
lier in the spring after many
years of service to the county
ditch system; and Mapes,
who had worked under
Franklin for three years, was
hired to take over the posi-
tion.
In addition to ditches con-
tained within the county,
ditch maintenance also main-
tains joint county ditches in
Defiance, Putnam and Van
Wert counties. Paulding
County officials met earlier
this week with commission-
ers from those counties to de-
termine 2014 assessments for
the ditches.
Blue Creek is the countys
largest ditch, with 37.2 miles
of drainage between Van
Wert and Paulding counties.
This (Blue Creek) is a
very big watershed that is
shared between our county
and Van Wert County, said
Mapes. It requires a lot of
maintenance.
It was constructed for a
price around $580,000 and its
assessment varies year to year
depending on maintenance
required.
County commissioners in-
dicated that there are cur-
rently 109 ditches under
maintenance in the county.
Mapes said that his respon-
sibilities as ditch maintenance
supervisor is encompassed
into many areas. The admin-
istration is a key part of or-
ganization for continual
changes of ownership and as-
sessments. The planning and
inspection portion of ditch
maintenance, helps with the
year-to-year work load and
efficiency to ensure the work
is completed.
In the field we have a va-
riety of tasks to maintain, in-
cluding the control of
invasive and noxious vegeta-
tion. We take a look at the
types of weeds and brush
growing in the ditches and
how to control them, Mapes
said. We also have to keep in
mind what advantages vegeta-
tion brings to ditch structure.
When spraying applications
are not an option we can use
mechanical methods such as
mowers and chain saws.
Ditches also need to be
maintained structurally which
may require repairs on ditch
banks due to erosion, sand silt
bar removal, and bottom
dipouts. Mapes said that ditch
maintenance is extensive and
critical to agriculture in
Paulding County because of
the areas connection origi-
nally to The Great Black
Swamp past and topography
of the land.
He noted that naturally, the
county once was covered by
forest and maintained a
swamp floor. In order to con-
vert it into usable land, it was
necessary to remove trees and
drain the wetlands.
Land drainage is main-
tained by underground drains,
tile and other means to help
maintain the capacity of
runoff from average rains in
the area.
We are very fortunate to
have some significant water-
sheds in the area such as the
Maumee River and Auglaize
River, said Mapes. We also
have a definite direction of
water flow. It runs toward the
northeast due to the fall of the
land.
I like to be outdoors; I like
fishing and sunshine, said
Mapes. I enjoy learning the
history of Paulding County,
when it comes to drainage
and having the opportunity to
feed in ideas about how to
improve things.
Ryan Mapes has followed Tim Franklin as Paulding County
maintenance supervisor. His office these days is located in the
4-H Extension Building at the Paulding County Fairgrounds.

The Paulding Progress &
Weekly Reminder
QUESTION: My mother-
in-law wont leave us alone.
My husband and I were just
married a few months ago,
and she comes by all the
time and calls constantly.
My husband is afraid to
talk to her because he does-
nt want to make her mad.
Im so disappointed in him
and feel like he should be
handling this. Do you have
any advice?
JIM: Your situation is trou-
bling because it involves two
issues: 1) your mother-in-
laws interference, and 2) the
wedge that this has created
between you and your hus-
band. Wed suggest that its
critical to deal with the sec-
ond issue before tackling the
first.
More than anything, you
and your husband need to be
on the same team here. As
a couple, you cant expect to
enforce appropriate bound-
aries with his mom while
youre simultaneously at odds
with one another. So spend
some time alone together and
make sure you can agree on
an appropriate plan of action.
Youre right; the issue is
with his mom and he needs to
take the lead in addressing it.
If he cant find the courage to
do that, wed suggest that you
seek the assistance of an ex-
perienced family therapist.
Contact Focus on the Family
for a free consultation and a
referral to a qualified coun-
selor in your area.
Once you and your hus-
band are prepared to operate
as a united front, our counsel-
ing team suggests that you sit
down with his mom and lov-
ingly but firmly let her know
that her constant interference
is not healthy, for her or for
your marriage.
Again, your husband should
take the lead in this conversa-
tion. He should reassure her
of your mutual love and re-
spect for her, but also be firm
about keeping healthy bound-
aries in place.
QUESTION: My husband
was just offered a job in an-
other state. Due to the econ-
omy, were struggling
financially. Ive tried to find
a job in the same area, but
nothing has opened up. The
only solution we can come
up with is to live separately
for a while until one of us
can find a job where the
other person is living. But
Im afraid that well grow
apart. How we can remain
close during this transition?
I know military families
face this all the time.
DR. GREG SMALLEY,
Executive Director of Mar-
riage and Family Forma-
tion: Your analogy to military
families is a good one, al-
though at least military fami-
lies usually have a set date
when the tour of duty ends.
Your reunification date re-
mains up in the air.
Author Erin Prater has
written extensively on the
challenges couples face dur-
ing times when they have no
choice but to live apart. Here
are a few of her suggestions
for helping your marriage
thrive during this period:
Assemble a support net-
work of same-gender friends
and married couples. Enjoy
regular fellowship and ac-
countability with this group.
Develop a new interest.
Audit a college class, join a
book club, start exercising,
etc.
Keep a journal of your
daily activities, challenges,
funny stories, etc. and then
share it with your spouse
when you talk.
Send care packages to
one another.
Pen an old-fashioned love
letter. Dont use it to discuss
By Jim Daly
the budget and other busi-
ness. Write solely for the pur-
pose of conveying your love.
Have a pizza or takeout
delivered to your spouse.
Call your spouse when
you know hell be unavail-
able and leave a sweet voice-
mail. Hell be able to play it
over and over when he misses
you.

you and your husband!
Winning the Battle for a Generation
In many ways that defined Dallas Willards
life, and it addresses the central responsibility of
every father and parent. We will help our chil-
dren with many tasks throughout the various sea-
sons of life, but nothing compares to the
importance of keeping eternitys reality ever be-
fore our children (With God: Give &Take, John
Ortberg, Menlo Park Presbyterian Church,
5/12/13).
There is something we all can learn, some-
thing we must learn, before its too late. God has
placed an eternal clock in our hearts and minds
to remind us that time is precious, time is short.
The scriptures remind us Ecclesiastes 3:11
(NASB), He has made everything appropriate
in its time. He has also set eternity in their
heart
Lets endeavor to listen to the ticking of the
clock and consider then how we must live.

Have you heard the clock ticking?
When I was in the fourth grade, our teacher,
Mrs. Heath, challenged all of us to see how
long we could hold our breath.
I remember holding my breath, watching
the second hand on the clock go around, one
minute, then two and then I gasped for air. I
will always remember what Mrs. Heath said
next; Now, thats all done and for all those
seconds you held your breath, they are also
gone, never to return. Please be very careful
how you spend your time.
Someone who came to understand the eternal-
ity of each moment was UCLA Philosophy Pro-
fessor, Dallas Willard. On May 8, 2013, Dallas
Willard died. This great thinker, who taught phi-
losophy at The University of Southern California
for nearly a half-century, lost his mother when
he was just two years of age. The final words she
spoke to her husband as she was dying were,
Keep eternity before the children.
Hospital employees lose 334
pounds using obesity program
By BILL SHERRY
Correspondent
The Paulding County Hospital
(PCH) Board of Trustees met June 13.
The board heard Dr. Mahtab Ahmeds
medical obesity pilot program has
been completed with 13 hospital em-
ployees undergoing a 12-week weight
loss program under his direction.
The hospital employee group lost a
total of 334 pounds in the program.
The maximum weight loss for an in-
dividual was 41 pounds with the min-
imum weight loss by an individual
being 20 pounds. The average weight
loss was 26 pounds per participant or
12 percent of the total body weight.
Dr. Ahmed is now scheduling weight
loss patients from the community. Dr.
Ahmeds new office is located on the
south side of the PCH campus, across
from the ER drive up entrance. For
more information please call 419-399-
1745.
Family Health Day was held at the
hospital in conjunction with John
Paulding Days on Saturday, June 8.
Several services were offered to the
public, including discounted lab tests
along with free dexascan heel scans for
osteoporosis along with displays from
various service agencies in the area.
Over 520 people were drawn for blood
tests while many others had free heel
screens for osteoporosis.
To make it more convenient for pa-
tients, next year the format of the
health fair will change with a Monday
through Saturday schedule so that peo-
ple can come at their convenience for
the discounted blood tests.
Chief Executive Officer Gary Ad-
kins reported that for the month of
April, PCH realized a gain of $12,029
with a year-to-date gain of $40,858.
The 2012 audited financial statement
was submitted for approval to the state
auditors office.
Adkins also reported that Represen-
tative Barb Sears from Toledo has in-
troduced new legislation to be
considered for Medicaid expansion.
The hospital continues to be support-
ive of Medicaid expansion and will
continue to educate members of the
Ohio State Senate and House of Rep-
resentatives on the importance of Med-
icaid for uninsured Ohioans.
The quality improvement committee
was presented with the quarterly qual-
ity improvement report, the legal com-
pliance audit for first quarter 2013, and
the first quarter patient satisfaction re-
port.
Chief Operating Officer Randy
Ruge reported that PCH has received
the ankle brachial index equipment
and the staff has been trained in its use.
This equipment will help diagnose pe-
ripheral artery disease.
Ruge also told the board that the res-
piratory department has received
equipment for home sleep studies. The
staff has been trained in using this new
equipment and sleep studies can now
be scheduled at home.
The next meeting is scheduled for
6:45 p.m. July 11 in the hospital con-
ference room. This is one week later
than the normal meeting date due to
Fourth of July holiday.

In The
Garden
By
Kylee Baumle
What does that mean?
There are terms that are
unique to every hobby, craft,
profession, and interest, and
unless youre a part of that
particular group, or youre
new to it, it can be confusing.
Gardening is no different.
Once youve got a little expe-
rience under your belt, youll
know the basics and as time
goes on, youll continue to
learn.
One of the first things a be-
ginning gardener learns is the
difference between an annual,
biennial, and a perennial. An
annual has a life cycle of just
one year and a perennial is a
plant that lives for two years
or more (usually more). De-
pending on the plant, a peren-
nial has the potential to live
for decades, yet some only
have a natural life of a few
years. So, if
youve had a perennial that
has done well in your garden
for a long time and it up and
dies for seemingly no reason,
it may be that it succumbed to
natural causes or old age.
A biennial is a plant with
an interesting life cycle. Most
live only two years, but its
how they live those years that
is different from other plants.
The first year, they concen-
trate their growth on leaves,
stem, and roots; the second
year they bloom, and when
that year comes to a close in
fall, they die. Unless youve
allowed the plant to self-seed,
youre going to need to re-
plant in the third year.
Common biennials are hol-
lyhocks, foxgloves, parsley,
Sweet William, forget-me-
nots and stock. Biennials that
are grown only for their veg-
etative parts may be planted
as annuals, such as beets and
Brussels sprouts.
If you grow tomatoes, you
know that you can plant ei-
ther determinate or indetermi-
nate varieties. Whats the
difference? A determinate
tomato plant will only grow
to a certain height (around
four feet) and will only pro-
duce tomatoes for a short
time period, usually about
two weeks. These are com-
monly called bush tomatoes
and they can generally be
grown in containers. Exam-
ples of determinate tomatoes
are Roma and Rutgers.
Indeterminate tomato
plants, or vining tomatoes,
will continue to grow and will
produce fruit throughout the
growing season. They require
staking or caging, as they can
reach higher than 10 feet, but
typically slow down their
growth at around six feet in
height. Most heirlooms and
cherry tomatoes are indeter-
minate.
Just to settle the question
about whether a tomato is a
vegetable or a fruit; biologi-
cally, its a fruit, but the U.S.
Supreme Court ruled it a veg-
etable in the case of Nix vs.
Heddon in 1893, mainly be-
cause its use is more that of a
vegetable. But, youll not be
surprised to find out that the
court case was all about
money. At that time, vegeta-
bles were subject to an import
tax and fruits were not.
Now, about the melons. If
youre like me, I always
thought that a cantaloupe and
a muskmelon were the same
thing with different names.
Yes and no. Cantaloupe actu-
ally refers to two different
types of muskmelon. But for
simplicitys sake, what is
commonly known as a can-
taloupe is a smooth-skinned
fruit varying in color from
pale green to light beige,
sometimes with warts and
sometimes with faint ribs. A
muskmelon has that familiar
beige rough netted skin, with
ribs.
The yummy Indiana mel-
ons we eat are muskmelons.
You may find cantaloupes in
your grocery, but youre more
likely to find them at farmers
markets and roadside stands,
because most of them have
relatively tender skins that
dont transport well.
I can attest to this, having
grown Charentais melons for
several years. Theyre deli-
ciously sweet, but their pale
green skins bruise fairly eas-
ily.
Part of the fun of doing
anything is learning these lit-
tle idiosyncrasies. And thank-
fully, gardening is full of
them, which keeps us all on
our toes and our minds sharp
for as long as we dig in the
dirt. Gardening boring?
Never!

CIC receives grant
ANTWERP The Antwerp Community Improvement Corpo-
ration (CIC) received a $6,000 grant from American Electric Power
to employ Larry Dillin Associates for the year 2013.
Other local organizations also contributed financially to the effort
to improve the business and quality of life in Antwerp. They are:
the Village of Antwerp, $4,000; the ACDC of Antwerp, $1,800; the
Antwerp Chamber, $200 and the Antwerp CIC, $6,000.
Dillin is a site selection/project development professional to help
in the design and promotion of 64 acres on the southeast part of
Antwerp at the US 24/49 interchange. Dillin emphasizes the prac-
tice of developing the entire community for economic development
and several committees have been created to help in this process.
We very much appreciate the support of AEP Ohio for this sup-
port, said Randy Derck, president of the Antwerp CIC. This proj-
ect will support economic development efforts in Antwerp and
Paulding County.
AEPs grant program emphasizes leveraging additional funds
from other sources and demonstrating joint participation from more
than one group.
AEP Ohio has offered grants to local economic development or-
ganizations since 2005. AEP Ohio serves nearly 1.5 million cus-
tomers in Ohio and northern West Virginia.

We still wave Old Glory
down at the courthouse
By NANCY WHITAKER
There is a right way to fly your flag. As we pay
tribute to our United States of America on July 4,
let us fly our flags with the dignity our flag de-
serves.
Here are some tips that you may or may not
know in regards to displaying Old Glory:
Display the flag only between sunrise and
sunset on buildings and stationary flagstaffs. The
flag may be displayed for 24 hours if illuminated
in darkness.
Do not display the flag in inclement weather.
Whether displaying the flag vertically or horizon-
tally, make sure the canton of stars is visible on
the upper left-hand side.
Do not let the flag touch the ground.
An unusable flag that is damaged and worn
and can no longer be displayed should be de-
stroyed in a dignified way by burning.
When not on display, the flag should be re-
spectfully folded into a triangle, symbolizing the
tricorn hats worn by colonial soldiers in the Rev-
olutionary War.
Folding the Flag
The flag is folded 13 times to symbolize the
original 13 colonies, but there is much more to the
flag folding.
The first fold of our flag is a symbol of life.
The second fold is a symbol of our belief in
eternal life.
The third fold is made in honor and remem-
brance of the veterans departing our ranks who
gave a portion of their lives for the defense of our
country to attain peace throughout the world.
The fourth fold represents our weaker nature,
for as American citizens trusting in God, it is to
Him we turn in times of peace as well as in time
of war for His divine guidance.
The fifth fold is a tribute to our country, for in
the words of Stephen Decaur, Our country, in
dealing with other countries, may she always be
right; but it is still our country, right or wrong.
The sixth fold is for where our hearts lie. It is
with our hearts that, We pledge allegiance to the
flag of the United States Of America, and to the
Republic for which it stands, one Nation under
God, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all.
The seventh fold is a tribute to our Armed
Forces, for it is through the Armed Forces that we
protect our country and our flag against all her en-
emies, whether they be found within or without
the boundaries of our republic.
The eighth fold is a tribute to the one who en-
tered into the valley of the shadow of death, that
we might see the light of day.
The ninth fold is a tribute to womanhood, and
mothers. For it has been through their faith, their
love, loyalty and devotion that the character of the
men and women who have made this country
great has been molded.
The 10th fold is a tribute to the fathers, for they,
too, have given their sons and daughters for the
defense of our country since they were first born.
The 11th fold represents the lower portion of
the seal of King David and King Solomon and
glorifies in the Hebrews eyes, the God of Abra-
ham, Isaac and Jacob.
The 12th fold represents an emblem of eternity
and glorifies, in the Christians eyes, God the Fa-
ther, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.
The 13th fold, or when the flag is completely
folded, the stars are uppermost reminding us of
our nations motto, In God We Trust.
After the flag is completely folded and tucked
in, it takes on the appearance of a cocked hat, ever
reminding us of the soldiers who served under
General George Washington, and the sailors and
Marines who served under Captain John Paul
Jones, who were followed by their comrades and
shipmates in the Armed Forces of the United
States, preserving for us the rights, privileges and
freedoms we enjoy today.
There are some traditions and ways of doing
things that have deep meaning. In the future,
youll see flags folded and now you will know
why.
Do you know that at military funerals, the 21-
gun salute actually stands for the sum of the num-
bers in the year 1776?

Hookrafters have
meeting in Holgate
The June meeting of the NW Ohio Rug Hookrafters Guild
was held at the St. Peters Lutheran Church in Holgate hosted
by Liz Eberle, Eileen Eis and Norma Lusk There were 20
members and 4 guests in attendance.
The guild welcomed Kathy Muncy of Continental as a new
member. The hostesses provided the program for the evening
consisting of making wool pendants made from small pieces
of wool that are left over from other projects.
Many nice pieces were made and displayed which was very
inspiring. Prior to the business meeting many members shared
current and finished projects.
Charlene Hess completed a Mother and Child project by
having a one of a kind glass frame made to enhance the project
to display on an easel.
President Julie Klinger then presented a gift to outgoing sec-
retary, Jan Den Herder, for her loyal service to the guild. Carla
Allshouse give the treasurers report.
Julie reminded members of the July 31 deadline for submit-
ting entries for display at the annual Sauders Rug Hooking
Show Aug. 13- 17. The guild will be submitting The Sampler
as a group. If you want to volunteer for the rug show please
contact Rebecca Landin.
Also coming up on June 29, is a day at the Kingwood Gar-
dens in Mansfield. This is a hook-in with a show and well
known vendors. It is a Christmas in July show, so contact
Julie if you wish to attend, as a car pool can be arranged.
The results of the survey indicated that the group would like
to have a guild project and one day events by a professional
that would come to a site and help color plan and finish proj-
ects. A weekend retreat is also appealing.
The rug that is being donated to Sauders Heritage Inn is
nearly complete and the finishing will be done by Jan Den
Herder and Mary McMasters. Recognition of Barbara Carroll
of the Woolley Fox who color planned and donated the wool
was also discussed.
The hostess sign-up sheet was passed around and those in-
terested can let Julie know if they can host.
Other events include: dinner at the Barn on Aug.16 and
Barnfest in Bryan on Sept. 28. Bring your items to be raffled
to the next few meetings. Oct. 5 is the guilds 40th anniversary
show.
The next meeting will be at 2 p.m. July 10, with a hook-in
and a potluck dinner at 6 p.m. at the home of Janine Davis.
