Jane Nice is the
author of the
book Married to
Millie: The
Humble Life of
Herb Monroe. The
book is an inspi-
rational biography
about Pauldings
beloved Herb
Monroe and wife,
Millie. The book
cover, designed
by Herbs grand-
daughter, shows
Herb and Millie on
their wedding day
in 1940.
f all people, I feel so humble that you would do this.
Im a poor subject, said Herb Monroe, as author
Jane Nice was working on his biography.
Almost everyone from Paulding is fa-
miliar with the name Herb Monroe.
Those who knew Herb were impacted by
his humility, compassion and sense of
humor.
Herb Monroe was locally famous, not
because of big accomplishments, but be-
cause he loved people, Nice said. He
never sought recognition, but considered
each honor he received as mountain top
experiences, which came when he need-
ed to get through lifes troubles.
Nices book is titled Married to Millie:
The Humble Life of Herb Monroe. Millie
was Herbs beloved wife who passed
away in 1997 from Alzheimers Disease.
The inspirational book details their lives
following the couple from the time they
met until Herbs passing on 11-11-11 at
the age of 98.
Herb Monroe grew up on a farm in
central Ohio and was taught the value of
hard work. He had always been interested
in electricity and had the desire to become
an electrical engineer. He attended a lib-
eral arts college which really did not offer
that type of class, so he majored in
physics.
He worked after college for Farm
Bureau Rural Electric helping set up elec-
tricity in rural areas.
Herb met lovely Millie, his bride-to-be
in 1938 at a church hot dog roast. Millie
was very classy and had gone to secretar-
ial school, He was immediately taken
with her poise and beauty and she by his
caring and great attributes. Herb said that
through the smoke from the wiener roast,
he could tell it was love at first sight.
The couple married in 1940 and in
1941 moved to Paulding where Herb
took a job as the manager of Paulding-
Putnam Electric. They moved in the
summer time and Millie was expecting

Antwerp to host
first-ever All-Star
Basketball Classic
Paulding, Van Wert county
players to battle Indiana

With a sigh of relief, the
calendar reminds us the
long-awaited first day of
spring has finally arrived.
And after enduring a long,
cold, snowy winter, its now
time for Paulding County
villages to assess how they
fared in what will go down
as one of the most challeng-
ing winters in history.
Snow removal, street re-
pairs, potholes, overtime,
frozen pipes, and other un-
usual hardships and added
expenses have taxed com-
munities since early January.
For the village of
Oakwood, administrator
John Keyes reports that over-
all the village is in pretty
good shape.
We had two homes that
were without water due to
frozen lines, said Keyes.
Overall, Keyes believes
Oakwood escaped without
too many potholes or much
overtime; where the village
has seen an increase is in the
salt usage, fuel costs, and
natural gas bills to heat its
four buildings.
Fiscal Officer Susan
Barron has seen a jump in
heating the fire house, water
building, EMS building, and
the town hall. Last year for
the three winter months, we
spent $5,535 heating the
buildings while this year we
have totaled $7,782, said
Barron.
There has been a slight in-
crease in road salt and fuel
for its vehicles.
The Village of Antwerp is
looking at a $40,000 setback
when it comes to expenses
caused by the winter weath-
er.
Weve had water main
breaks, equipment break-
downs, and other expenses
due to frozen pipes, said
Antwerp treasurer Loretta
Baker.
The villages front end
loader required a major re-
pair in the amount of $6,600,

vites everyone to attend this

Saturday, April 5 at the

West Perry Street in Paulding.
which was not budgeted.
Appropriations for snow re-
moval, salt and grit was set at
$4,500 while the village has
spent nearly $10,000. A non-
budgeted item addressed by
the village was icing in the
water tower due to malfunc-
tioning sensors in the tank that
measure the water level.
Repair on the tower totaled
$3,500.
Water lines under Ohio 49
froze, causing residents to not
have water and forcing the vil-
lage to close the highway for a
day in order to make necessary
repairs. The non-budgeted re-
pair was $4,003.
Like the other villages with-
in the county, Payne is
equipped to manage their win-
ter issues when it comes to
snow removal. However, this
year, the challenge to stay
above the task was often times
beyond their capabilities.
We had to contract out for
some of our snow removal. In
addition to our own depart-
ment working, we also paid an
additional $5,487 for snow re-
moval by outside contractors,
said Fiscal Officer Cheryl
Halter.
The job of snow removal
and keeping the streets clear
required 100 extra-man hours.
We know we have pot-
holes that will need repaired.
We are scheduled to have
some of our streets sealed and
paved later this spring and we
hope to take care of the pot-
hole problem at that time,
said Mayor Terry Smith.
Last Wednesdays quick
snowstorm that dumped over
seven inches of snow in the
area was the worst snowstorm
of the winter season, accord-
ing to Paulding street supervi-
sor Jerry Smith.
It was quick and a very wet
snow that delivered another
challenge for our equipment
and manpower, said Smith.
Pauldings four-man crew
and its four trucks can usually
clear the village in six to eight
hours. I know the public is
getting tired of all the snow
and to be honest we are getting
tired of cleaning the streets,
but its our job and overall I
think we have done a good
job, said Smith.
Although the plowing sea-
son is winding down, it is im-
portant to remove vehicles
from the streets in order to
clear the snow properly.
With so much snow, resi-
dents often times will have
their driveways cleaned, al-
lowing snow to blow right
back out into the streets and
causing more problems, said
village administrator Harry
Wiebe. The administrator
went on to comment on how
Paulding snow removal has
been superior compared to
other communities similar in
size to Paulding.
The village encountered be-
tween 10 and 12 frozen serv-
ice lines. These lines run be-
tween the main to the shut off
valve in the street right-of-
way.
To give you an idea how
the long periods of cold tem-
peratures effect the lines, we
had a dozen this year and in
the past 15 years we had one,
said Smith.
There have been a few
water main breaks with the
frost line penetrating the
ground by as much as three
feet. The repair of water main
breaks have been a little more
time consuming due to the
frozen ground.
Because of the frozen
ground and needing a jack-
hammer to break through the
area in question, it often times
takes longer to determine
where the actual break is locat-
ed, said Smith.
Concerning costs, hours on
the job, and assistance, the vil-
lage has encountered its share
of increased expenses. In
2012-13 there were 90 hours
of overtime issued for snow
and ice control while this year
the number of hours increased
to 380.
Cost of salt has nearly dou-
bled from $6,000 last year to
$10,000 so far in 2013-14.
There was no outside con-
tract for assistance concerning
downtown snow removal in
2012-13; however, the village
has spent $10,800 this year.
Potholes will be an immedi-
ate issue once the weather
warms up and the existing
water is eliminated from the
holes. Once the water is out
and the temperatures consis-
tently get to the upper 20s we
will be able to fill the pot-
holes, said Wiebe.
Wiebe went on to say how
the street department employ-
ees, while working on snow
removal and other issues, have
other continuing responsibili-
ties such as digging graves.
These long extended cold
spells have been tough on the
equipment as well as the crew
working outside in the ele-
ments, he said.
Its been a long, tough win-
ter and we are all looking for-
ward to spring. I want to thank
everyone for their patience
and for those who removed
their cars from the streets so
we could do our job, said
Smith.

Herb Monroes contribu-
tions to the community are
being recognized by a park
which is currently under con-
struction and will be called
The Herb Monroe Com -
munity Park.
The book Married to Millie
their first son, Daniel.
The weather was hot, they
did not know a lot of people
and both missed their native
counties and home. Millie
was miserable. Herb made a
promise to her that they
would only stay in Paulding
for five years.
Needless to say, they re-
mained in Paulding and be-
came parents of three sons.
It was very important to get
electricity into the rural areas
as WWII became a reality.
With electrification, farmers
were able to produce milk and
food more effectively. In fact,
Nice said that had it not been
for the rural areas being
hooked up to electricity,
America probably could not
have won the war.
In 1949, Herb and Millie
lost their oldest son, Danny, in
a drowning accident. They
struggled with their loss, but
the Paulding community
showed an outpouring of sup-
port and love for the family.
Herb and Millie became
members of the First
Presbyterian Church where
he sang in the choir. Herb was
active in many clubs and or-
ganizations, but always had
time for a smile and time to
ask how you were.
One club the Monroes were
active in was the Schooners
Club. This was a church or-
ganization and was active
from 1943-1993. Herb con-
tinued to work for Paulding-
Putnam until he retired in
1978 and then worked part-
time for another 23 years.
Jane Nice met Herb and
Millie in 1992 when her fam-
ily attended the First
Presbyterian Church. Jane
and her husband were greeted
warmly by Herb. Millie was
nicely dressed and very digni-
fied. Nice soon picked up that
Millie was suffering from
Alzheimers Disease.
However, Herb always kept
Millie well cared for and
maintained her dignity
throughout her battle with the
dreaded disease.
Eventually Millie was sent
to a nursing home where she
lost her battle in January,
1997. Herb visited her every-
day, took her for hair appoint-
ments and above all loved his
Millie unconditionally.
His level of caregiving
earned him the Ohio First
Ladys award for Elder
Caregiving in December of
1997. In 1998 the Paulding
County Senior Center held a
Herb Monroe Day in his
honor.
Jane was intrigued with this
man, his humbleness, and his
ways of looking at situations.
In 2002, she began her biog-
raphy on Herb and named it
Married to Millie. The
Humble Life of Herb Monroe.
She interviewed him every
Friday and Herb got to read
most of the book before his
death. He said, God is work-
ing this thing out. To me, it
would seem that you had
enough for about three pages
and that would be it.
Herb lost another son,
Glenn, at age 64, in 2010, but
still kept his positive outlook,
never fretted about the past,

ing the messages on the
phone we find out school has
been canceled. It is a white
world outside and still blow-
ing snow. Right now it seems
impossible that spring begins
next week.
We are still adjusting to the
time change as well. The
boys go do the morning
chores. I fry pon hoss, make
coffee soup and eggs for
breakfast. We have several
more pans left of pon hoss
and it seems they are still
hungry for it every time I
make it.
10:30 a.m. Dishes are
washed and floors swept.
Verena, 16, and Loretta, 13,
clean out the closet in Loretta
and Lovinas bedroom. Ben-
jamin, 14, goes outside to
shovel snow. Joseph, 11, Lov-
ina, 9, and Kevin, 8, help me
mix up some noodles.
We put 36 eggs into noodles,
then let the dough set for
awhile in airtight containers to
keep it moist. Our neighbor,
Lila, stops in to get eggs.
1 p.m. Verena makes grilled
cheese and eggs for everyones
lunch. They are done with the
closest upstairs. They also
cleaned out the dresser drawers
in that bedroom. We are still
working on the noodles, but
take time to eat lunch.
3:30 p.m. Elizabeth and
3:15 a.m. Time to start an-
other day. I pack my husband
Joes lunch while he gets
ready for work.
3:50 a.m., Joe left for work.
It is raining outside.
4:45 a.m. Daughters Liz,
19, and Susan, 18, pack their
lunches and get ready for
work. It is really snowing and
the ground is already covered
with quite a few inches of
snow. It is windy, so our
driveway is drifting shut with
the blowing snow.
5:15 a.m. Elizabeth and
Susan leave for the RV fac-
tory. Susan seems to be ad-
justing well to her job and a
new schedule. They work in
different areas of the factory,
so they dont always get
home at the same time. I
catch up on reading the daily
newspaper and The Budget.
6 a.m. Time to get the chil-
dren up for school. After tak-
ing a look outside at the
weather, we go check our
phone for messages. School
has called saying there is a
two-hour delay. Most of the
children go back to bed, ex-
cept Lovina stays up.
I read while she puts to-
gether beads. She has a kit
that has all kind of beads and
she makes different kinds of
crafts with it. She is also re-
ally enjoying making things
out of plastic canvas and is
very creative.
Susan come home from work.
We are putting the rest of the
noodles through the cutter on
the noodle maker. The children
enjoy helping make noodles.
We have an eight-quart and a
six-quart table set up to put the
noodles on to dry for a week. I
put cheesecloth over them so
dust cant get on them. The
cheesecloth is thin enough that
they can still dry.
4 p.m. Joe is home from
work. The boys and Joe go do
the evening chores and Joe
takes care of the stove. The
girls and I make mashed pota-
toes, beef and noodles and pork
and beans for supper.
6 p.m. Time to eat supper.
8 p.m. Everyone is cleaned
up and ready to relax.
Gods blessings to all.
For those of you that have
storage apples, try this recipe to

WT district receives
first half tax proceeds
By JOE SHOUSE
Correspondent
HAVILAND The Wayne
Trace Local School District
Board of Education met in
regular session on March 10,
high school lecture hall.
Treasurer Gary Ginter re-
ported that Wayne Trace had
received all of the first half
proceeds from the Paulding
County auditor, including
wind farm proceeds, during
the month of February, as
compared to last year when a
portion was received in Janu-
ary and part in March.
The amount received was
higher due to increase in farm
ground valuations, more wind
turbines coming on-line, and
lowered fees charged by the
county auditor.
Superintendent Steve
Arnold provided the board
with several updates includ-
ing curriculum, personnel,
building and grounds, events
and operations.
Wayne Trace continues to
be in line with the proposed
timeline for Ohio Improve-
ment Process. OGT testing
will be held March 10-14
while the OAA window has
been extended one week and
is scheduled for May 7-9.
Race to the Top priorities
continue to be teacher profes-
sional development and
teacher evaluations. The
Straight A Grant committees
continue to meet regarding
the ordering of 500 new com-
puters and creating language
concerning policies and
guidelines for 1:1 program.
Arnold reported that Digi-
tal Academy enrollment has
grown to 25 students after
starting the year with seven.
In addition, 21 students are
taking 40 college classes this
semester through the
NWSCC Jump Start pro-
gram. These classes are of no
cost to students of the district.
Arnold stated that over the
next few weeks, RIF letters
will be sent to Title I teachers
at both buildings. We should
know Title I allocations for
next year by late July or early
August, said Arnold.
The building and grounds
committee continues to meet
regarding the creation of a
multipurpose building; how-
ever, no recommendations are
ready to be made. Options for
the repair of the leaky gym
roof continue to be studied.
Arnold reported that cur-
rent enrollment stands at
1,024 students and the open
enrollment period begins
April 1.
The following consent
items were unanimously
passed:
To accept the resignation
of Tom McCord as assistant
football coach and JV girls
basketball coach and to thank
him for many years of coach-
ing service.
Upon the recommenda-
tion of the superintendent, to
offer a one-year contract to
Kevin Wilson as principal of

keting teacher.
tion of the superintendent and

Alvarez from approximately
May 27 through the end of
the 2013-14 school year.
To commend the varsity

Stabler for an excellent show-
ing in this years tournament.
Senior Dustin Taylor, juniors
Matt Baxter, Jacob Dingus,
Riley Moore, Justin Pierce
and Tyler Showalter, sopho-
more George Clemens, and
freshman Ruger Goeltzen-
leuchter all qualified for the
district tournament. Clemens
and Showalter then qualified
for the state tournament.
To confirm that open en-
rollment applications will be
accepted between April 1-
June 1 for the 2014-15 school
year, with such applications
being accepted from qualify-
ing students from anywhere
in the state of Ohio (not sim-
ply just students who reside
in contiguously bordering
school districts).
of Tasha Stucke as a teacher,
effective at the end of the
2013-2014 school year;
of Dennis Stabler as an assis-
tant wresting coach and to
thank him for many years of
service.

director, to approve Kayla

school year.
To commend the cast and

In My Opinion
The history
beneath our feet
By Kim Sutton
President, John Paulding Historical Society
Eight days ago, I received an email from Arc of Ap-
palachia Preserve System, a charitable nonprofit organiza-
tion, who manages and stewards 14 preserves in Ohio. I
signed up for their emails while on a camping trip to Paint
Creek State Park. We had spent the day sightseeing and hik-
ing trails in the area and we
happened to run into the di-
rector, Nancy Stranahan, at
the Highlands Nature Sanctu-
ary. She and I hit it off imme-
diately. Our love for nature
and history evaporated any
awkwardness or shyness that
can occur when you start a
conversation with a stranger.
The email explained the story of the Junction Earthworks,
located at the junction of Paint Creek and the Scioto River in
southeastern Ohio. The earthworks were built 2,000 years
ago, but had long been flattened and forgotten. So how did
they even know they were there? Because they were mapped
and described by Ephraim Squier and Edwin Davis in the
1840s and appeared in their book, Ancient Monuments of the
Mississippi Valley, the first book ever published by the
Smithsonian Institution. With this information and using
modern imaging technology, Dr. Jarrod Burks, president of
the Heartland Earthworks Conservancy, was able to deter-
mine that the foundations of the earthen walls are still intact.
The land was farmed for generations, but beneath the corn
stubble lay Ohios history that was now on the auction block.
Arc of Appalachia was sending out a desperate plea for
pledge donations to purchase this land and preserve this an-
cient site.
That was eight days ago; this morning I get an email that
says WE WON! The Junction Earthworks has been saved.
The web-based campaign raised enough money, which will
be used as leverage towards a Clean Ohio grant to pay the re-
maining balance of the acquisition funds needed. (Note:
They had been bidding against a housing developer.)
Why am I telling you this? And why should we care about
this in Paulding County? The Paulding County Atlas of 1892,
Chapter V, tells us when describing the Oquanoxa Reserva-
tion and Village of Charloe ... Just north of the village was
their cemetery, many mounds, beneath whose sod sleep the
dust of their braves, are yet plainly visible.
Where is this? Who owns this? Does anyone know about
this? Should we seek this out and try to preserve it before it
is lost forever? Food for thought....

Oakwood EMS getting new equipment; income surveys discussed
By BILL SHERRY
Correspondent
OAKWOOD At its regu-
lar meeting March 24, Oak-
wood Village Council voted
unanimously for the Oak-
wood EMS to acquire a stair
chair and add a no lift cot
to the main EMS squad.
The stair chair is a unit
costing about $3,400 that will
safely move a patient from an
upstairs location.
Councilwoman Vicki Long
commented, It is extremely
difficult to move someone
from an upstairs location, but
with this stair chair, it will be
much easier and safer.
EMS coordinator Chad
Brown told council that they
would be installing a no lift
cot in the main squad unit at
a cost of $40,000 of which
$30,000 will be covered by a
BWC grant.
A second no lift unit was
discussed, but no action was
taken at this time.
Mayor Erhard Bud
Henke advised council that
resident Kelly Tumblin is
passing out the income sur-
veys to each household in the
village. Survey information
will be used to help the vil-
lage get some grant money
for village projects. Tumblin
is also explaining the process
to anyone having any questions
or concerns regarding the sur-
vey.
Completed surveys can be
dropped off at the Oakwood
Bank or mailed to Maumee
Valley Planning Organization.
There was considerable con-
cern at the meeting regarding
various locations that had a
substantial collection of
garbage/junk. Council Presi-
dent Todd Dangler noted that
in one location there had been
a huge pile of what appeared to
be snow, but now that the snow
has melted it turns out to be a
pile of junk and garbage cov-
ered with a tarp.
Council agreed to work on
revision of the garbage and
weed/grass control ordinances
at the next council meeting.
Mayor Henke noted that
there were numerous repeat of-
fenders. Some of the village lo-
cations noted as needing
attention were 201 Superior,
501 Superior, 316 N. First,
and a location on Walnut
Street.
Village administrator John
Keyes told council that the
village maintenance has been
cleaning up the debris re-
maining from the piles of
snow.
Keyes also stated that the
park will need extensive
clean up and that there is a 4-
H group willing to get in-
volved with the cleanup once
the weather improves. Mayor
Henke asked Keyes to get in-
volved and give the group as-
sistance as needed.
Mayor Henke told council
that the bonds for the Oakwood
Gas Company had been sold as
20-year bonds instead of 30-
year, which means there will be
10 less years to pay for the
gas system. It was noted that
there has been a lot of hard
work getting the natural gas
system into Oakwood.
Council unanimously ap-
proved fire contracts for the
Village of Melrose, and
Brown and Washington town-
ships.
Police Chief Mark Figert
reported the following calls
received and cleared for the
month of February: intoxi-
cated driver (1), domestic (2),
keys locked in vehicle (2),
unclassified criminal com-
plaint (1), assist EMS (5), lost
items or property (1) and keep
the peace (1). Thirteen com-
plaints were reported and
cleared for the month.
Brown requested and council
unanimously approved going
into executive session to discuss
personnel issues.
The next regular meeting will
be at 6:30 p.m. on April 14.

can be used as an exam table or a chair. It can be lowered to 18

GOOD DAY BAD DAY
Everyone has good days
and bad days. There are
those wonderful days when
things fall right into place and
the whole world seems great.
Then there are days when
unexpected things arise that
may bring you a change of
plans, tears or just plain frus-
tration. I just experienced one
of those bad days and am
optimistically glad that all
days are not like that one.
This particular day was
March 20. Plus it was our
wedding anniversary. The
day went fairly well and we
both got ready to go to the
American Legion in Auburn
where I play the keyboard
with a band called Golden
Memories. We always look
forward to getting out, seeing
our friends, eating and, of
course, the music.
We like to arrive a little
early so we can eat supper at
the Legion, so we normally
leave around 4 p.m. We were
running right on schedule and
after stopping to refuel, we
were on our way.
Well, we were driving
down Ohio 49 in Paulding
County and we saw a state
trooper approaching us in the
opposite lane. My hubby
looked at our speedometer
and said, Oh no. I was going
71 mph. I bet that cop turns
around.
I said, Oh, he probably did
not even notice us, just slow
down and act like nothing is
wrong.
Well, we looked at the
rearview mirror, saw lights
flashing and knew we had
been caught. By the time all
the formalities were over,
Hubby had a speeding ticket,
which took over half an hour
to write, plus we had a big
fine to pay.
We arrived in Auburn, but
just in time for me to set up to
play. I just could not believe
my husband (who never
speeds) got a speeding ticket.
The night of music went
well, and we were done by
8:30 p.m. We pulled out of
the legion parking lot and
heard kind of a ka-thud, ka-
thud.
Hubby said, Do you hear
that?
Yes, I replied. Wonder
what it is?
He replied, It sounds like
a flat tire.
Needless to say, it was. We
managed to get to a gas sta-
tion who had air for tires, but
no amount of air was going to
help that flat.
The wind was starting to
get chilly, and we managed to
get a little tire (donut) out of
the trunk. Now, the thing to
jack up the car looked hard to
maneuver and when you are
older, it is hard to crawl
around on the cold pavement
to jack up a vehicle and at-
tempt to change a tire.
I called a musician friend
of ours and he and his friend
came to help us out. Well,
being close to our age, they
couldnt budge that jack or
the lug bolts either. We
needed a miracle, One towing
place was called and we were
told it would be 90 minutes
before they got there and then
it would cost close to $150 to
get the car jacked up. Forget
that!
Just about that time, a car
pulled up and a young man
got out and said, Do you
guys need help?
We replied, We sure do.
The young man had on a
white tank top and jeans with
big holes (which were his
style), tattoos and had his
head shaved. He was with his

car.
The young guy said, I can
have you guys back on the
road in no time.
So the man who happened
to be named Dennis, told us
he was a country boy from
the little town of Newland,
just down the road from
Auburn.
I told Dennis, This has
been a really bad day for us
and thanks so much for your
help.
He replied, Maam my
whole week has been bad,
and he proceeded to tell us
about himself. I heard his
story and I knew that we all
have good times and bad
times in our lives.
Dennis got our tire on and
we thanked him and at-
tempted to pay him some-
thing. He said, No I could
not take anything. I was just
happy to help.
So I went up to him and I
said, Young man, take this
money and go buy you and
your mom a sandwich or
something and may God
bless you.
Dennis looked at the cash
we gave him, broke into a big
smile and acted like we made
his day instead of him mak-
ing ours .
We made it home and we
knew that God was looking
out for us and also had His
eyes on a complete stranger
who helped us in time of need.
Young people are great and I
am still wondering how nice it
is when paths cross and people
help others.
Have you ever had someone
show up and offer to help you
in time of need? Do you be-
lieve that God works in mighty
and mysterious ways? Let me
know and Ill give you a Penny
for Your Thoughts.

Paulding-Putnam Electric Cooperative members re-elected trustees Dr. John Saxton (District
6), Gerald Sorg (District 1) and Gary Hayden (District 9) at the annual meeting.
Three directors re-elected
at annual co-op meeting
PAULDING Paulding-Putnam Electric Co-
operative (PPEC) celebrated a year of exemplary
member service at its 2014 annual meeting, held
Saturday, March 15 at PPEC headquarters in
Paulding.
Three seats on PPECs board of directors were
up for election at the annual meeting. Re-elected
to the board were directors Gerald Sorg, Dr. John
Saxton and Gary Hayden.
Sorg represents District 1, comprised of Marion,
Madison and Monroe townships in Allen County,
Ind.; and Preble and Union townships in Adams
County, Ind.
Saxton who also serves as board president
represents District 6, comprised of Auglaize,
Brown, Latty and Washington townships in Pauld-
ing County and Defiance and Highland townships
in Defiance County.
Hayden who also serves as board treasurer
represents District 9, comprised of Pleasant,
Union, Ottawa and Riley townships in Putnam
County.
George Carter, CEO and general manager of
PPEC, highlighted the cooperatives ongoing com-
mitment to providing reliable service at affordable
rates. PPECs rates are the lowest of any electric
cooperative in the state, and among the lowest of
any electric utility in Ohio.
Carter credited this accomplishment to the co-
operatives outstanding employees.
We have a great group of employees, said
Carter. We only have 37 employees here. The av-
erage cooperative of our size has 46. We do a lot
more here with less.
Other utilities spend roughly 1.3 cents on their
operating and maintenance expenses. Here at
Paulding-Putnam, we spend 0.6 cents. That is at-
tributable to our employees.
Saxton encouraged PPEC members to become
advocates for the cooperative. With the Environ-
mental Protection Agency attempting to imple-
ment unfeasible regulations on coal-fired power,
potentially driving the cost of electricity substan-
tially higher in future years, Saxton implored mem-
bers to send a message to the agency through two
websites: www.action.coop and www.tellepa.com.
I understand it can be hard to be an advocate
when you get that electric bill, said Saxton. But
when you understand what is driving the cost of
that bill, hopefully you can become one.
PPEC also celebrated outstanding area youth at
the annual meeting. The cooperative announced
the winners of its Children of Members and
Touchstone Energy Achievement scholarships.
First place in the Children of Members scholar-
ship competition went to Kaitlyn Roughton and
Matthew Klopfenstein in the girls and boys divi-
sions, respectively. Roughton is a senior at Pauld-
ing High School and Klopfenstein is a senior at
Wayne Trace High School.
First place in the Touchstone Energy Achieve-
ment Scholarship was awarded to Katrina Riepen-
hoff, a senior at Ottawa Glandorf High School.
The three first-place scholarship winners will
compete for additional state-level scholarships
next month at Ohio Rural Electric Cooperatives
Inc. in Columbus.
Also announced were PPECs representatives
on the 2014 Electric Cooperative Youth Tour.
Katherine Murphy, a sophomore at Hicksville
High School, and Jacob Ellerbrock, a sophomore
at Miller City-New Cleveland High School, will
travel to Washington, D.C. in June to tour the na-
tions capital, meet members of Congress and learn
more about the nations electric cooperative sys-
tem.
Make-up days at Antwerp
School are May 23, 27, 28
By JOE SHOUSE
Correspondent
ANTWERP Last Thursday, March 20, the
Antwerp Local School board met in regular
session for their March meeting. Calamity
days, after school tutoring program, and the
virtual academy update were highlighted dur-
ing the session.
Superintendent Patricia Ross shared the in-
formation that the House and Senate agreed to
the Calamity School Days House Bill and it
was approved. Four additional calamity days
have been granted after making up the original
calamity days.
Antwerp has made up one day and will
make up three days on May 23, 27, and 28,
therefore allowing the district to use the four
days most recently granted.
The Northwest Ohio Virtual Academy
(NOVA) and Antwerp Virtual Academy cur-
rently has several Antwerp juniors and seniors
signed up and will be enrolled in 23 different
classes.
Elementary principal Tim Manz introduced
an after school tutoring program. The program
will focus on reading and math and will be for
students in grades three through eight. Stu-
dents will meet two times each week on Mon-
day and Wednesday or Tuesday and Thursday.
Students are recommended to the program by
their teachers.
The 2012-13 school audit was completed
with positive results. Board members along
with superintendent Ross were appreciative
for the hard work by district treasurer Kristen
Stuart.
The following consent items were ap-
proved:
Eric Walk as Junior Varsity softball coach
for the 2013-14 school year.
Boston Hormann as Junior Varsity base-
ball coach for the 2013-14 school year.

pending they meet all local and state gradua-
tion requirements.
Resolution accepting the amounts and
rates for fiscal year 2015 as determined by the
budget commission and certify to the county
auditor.
Resolution to waive up to four additional
calamity days for the 2013-14 school year.

Tomlinson, Travis Hammer, Amy Hammer.
Katlyn Scharr, Pam Bailey, Betty Smazenko,
Mary Jane Miller, Harla Long, and Linda
Mabis as after school tutors for the 2013-14
school year.
21 students in the sophomore class are en-
rolled to attend Vantage next year.
Additional information which was reported
included:
The Senior trip is scheduled for April 15-
17 for Gatlinburg, Tennessee.
Genealogy society, library
to hold free workshop
PAULDING This cold,
snowy winter, looks to be
over and the Paulding County
Chapter of the Ohio Ge-
nealogical Society can get
back to regular monthly
meetings. January and March
meetings were canceled due
to the inclement weather.
Paulding County Library
approached the society for
help in the genealogy depart-
ment for the upcoming Free
Basic Genealogy Workshop
to be held from 9:30 a.m.-
12:30 p.m., Saturday, March
29. It will be held on the sec-
ond floor and the PCCOGS
members will be volunteering
their time helping anyone
who wants to learn how to re-
search ancestors or just gen-
eral help using the many
resources available.
This will consist of using
ancestor charts, microfilm,
obituary files, vital record in-
dexes, census records, and
Ancestry.com on the librarys
computer. If the program is
well-received, it will become
a regular event.
Watch for the librarys next
volunteer help session in this
newspaper.
At the Feb. 12 meeting, ex-
cerpts were heard from
Charlie Bissells Journal by
Kelly Taylor. A copy of the
journal helped the group to
learn of over two hundred
obituaries, local news, family
activities and much more
from articles cut from news-
papers or daily penciled en-
tries.
A call to Stanley Jordan
was made and he knew of
Charlie (a.k.a. C.A. Bissell),
but only a few facts about
him. He died circa 1940 when
Stan was about 10 yrs. old.
Bissell held several council
positions beginning in April
1887 with one being mayor
with the longest number of
consecutive terms in the his-
tory of Antwerp.
Some interesting informa-
tion about early Paulding
County, written by Henry
Howe in Historical Collec-
tions of Ohio in 1886:
PAULDING COUNTY
The county has no basins;
every acre is drainable. There
is no boggy or swampy land.
Where drained, it is solid and
every acre can be drained and
cultivated. They are begin-
ning to tile extensively and
many tile factories are scat-
tered over the county; the
tiles varying from two-and-a-
half to 10 inches.
At the April 9, meeting the
group will resume with regu-
lar meetings and watch a
movie about Johnsons Is-
land. The meeting which was
canceled in March was to re-
search through Baker/Parrish
very early books from the
New England states. The re-
search will be done as time
permits.
Most meetings are held at
the Paulding County
Carnegie Library, ground
floor meeting room, at 6:30
p.m. on the second Wednes-
day of each month.

Winning the Battle for a Generation

By Rick Jones
Defiance Area Youth for
Christ executive director
Have you mourned with those who mourn?
One of the great takeaways of Jesus coming
in flesh and then subjecting himself to all the
fears of humanity is that Jesus identifies with
us in our suffering and shame. For example,
Christian doctor and author John White writes:
John White tells the story of his days as a
medical student. For one of his classes, he
missed a practicum about venereal disease and
had to make it up at the clinic.
When he arrived at the clinic, he ended up in
a line with a bunch of patients who had actu-
ally contracted a venereal disease. White
barged up to the front and told the head nurse,
I need to see the doctor.
Thats what everybody says, snorted the
nurse, Now get in line.
But Im a medical student.
Big deal, said the nurse. You got it the
same way as everybody else; now you can
stand in line like everybody else.
John White writes, In the end I managed to
explain to her why I was there, but I can still
feel the sense of shame that made me balk at
standing in line with the other men who had a
venereal disease.
Yet Jesus shunned shame as he went to the
cross. And the moral gulf that separated him
from us was far greater than that separating
me from the men at the clinic. But he crossed
the gulf, joining our ranks, embraced us and
still remained pure. He identified with those
he came to save. He became like us.
Regarding Jesus practice to identify with
humanity, the writer to Hebrews writes ... He-
brews 4:15 (NIV), For we do not have a high
priest who is unable to sympathize with our
weaknesses, but we have one who has been
tempted in every way, just as we are, yet was
without sin.

QUESTION: Whats the
best way for a stepparent to
form strong bonds with a
stepchild? I recently mar-
ried a wonderful man. Hes
kind, but firm with my
three children and plans to
adopt them. Unfortunately,
my preschool-age son has
had a hard time warming
up to him.
JIM: Having struggled as a
young stepson myself, its
easy for me to view the situa-
tion through your
preschoolers eyes. A new
man has suddenly moved in,
taking up a lot of his mothers
time and attention, which
once belonged to him.
To make things worse,
shes actually been seen kiss-
ing and hugging this guy.
Yuck! And to top it all off,
this man is now telling him
what to do and punishing him
when he misbehaves.
The problem can be even
more challenging if there has-
nt been consistency in set-
ting limits with your kids. Its
not uncommon for tired and
busy single moms to be
somewhat lenient with inap-
propriate behavior. If your
new husband is a firm disci-
plinarian, your son probably
isnt going to like it.
Id encourage your hus-
band to spend lots of special
one-on-one time with your
son. Sincere demonstrations
of warmth and love are criti-
cal for your son right now.
Id also suggest that your
husband go out of his way to
praise your boy when he be-
haves well instead of simply
punishing him when he acts
up. In other words, he needs
to make an intentional effort
to catch him being good.
At the same time, you may
want to complement what
hes doing by firming up your
own disciplinary techniques.
Dont put your husband in the
position of having to play the
bad cop all the time. Do
what you can to take up some
of the slack and give him a
chance to appear in a more
positive light.
Our counseling team would
also be happy to offer further
help. Please call them at 855-
771-HELP (4357).
QUESTION: My wife and I
have been married just a
few months, and already
were constantly arguing
about chores. Im the one
who cares that the house is
clean and orderly, and so I
end up doing most of the
work. What should I do?
DR. GREG SMALLEY,
vice president, Family Min-
istries: Youve stumbled on a
challenge that blindsides
most newlyweds and often
plagues seasoned married
couples, the division of
household labor. Its common
because partners usually have
different definitions as to
what constitutes clean and
different assumptions as to
who should do what based on
their unique family back-
grounds.
Your first order of business,
then, is to talk all this
through. Lay all your as-
sumptions, expectations and
personal preferences on the
table. The goals for your dis-
cussion should be unity, un-
derstanding, a commitment to
shared responsibility and a
plan that is fair and equitable.
Next, make a comprehen-
sive list of everything that
needs to be done together.
This includes the time re-
quirement for each task.
Then, each of you should go
over the list individually and
indicate which of these you
think are your responsibili-
ties. Afterward, share your
lists and compare the results.
Where you agree, fine. Where
its less clear, discuss which
of you has a preference or is
better equipped to take on
that task.
Once everythings been as-
signed, its important that you
tally up the time requirement
to make sure its reasonably
fair based on the overall de-
mands on each of you. Keep
in mind that this is a partner-
ship and that youll need to
stay flexible and make occa-
sional exceptions based on
your familys changing cir-
cumstances and needs.
Finally, remember the re-
wards. Tackling chores to-
gether eases the burden and a
cooperative system will leave
you with more time for to-
getherness and more leisure
for individual activities.

Cory Pinson and his mother, Rebecca, who recently under-
went surgery for a malignant brain tumor.
To honor and surprise his mom, Cory shaved off his long
locks and may have them made into a wig for her.
BY JOE SHOUSE
Correspondent
HAVILAND For many
Wayne Trace High School
students the focus the last
couple of weeks was on the
Raider basketball team and
their tournament run. The
season ended back on Satur-
day, March 15 with a loss on
the Bowling Green floor to
the eventual state champions
from Crestview. And while
the Raiders have the memo-
ries of a great season and a
deep tournament run, for one
student, it wasnt a trip to
Bowling Green, but a trip to
Columbus that was a priority.
Far more important than bas-
ketball was seeing how frag-
ile life is and how to forgive
in the midst of uncertainty.
Wayne Trace sophomore
Cory Pinson, who plays the
alto saxophone in the Wayne
Trace marching band is a kid
anxious to get his drivers li-
cense, but last weekend a
telephone call came that
forced the 16-year-old to
grow up a little bit.
On Wednesday, March 12,
his mother, Rebecca, went
into the hospital and after a
couple of days it was appar-
ent there was a more serious
problem and she was trans-
ferred to Grant Medical Cen-
ter in Columbus.
She had different symp-
toms off and on and about a
week before she went to the
hospital in Marion. Her entire
right side went numb and she
collapsed. It was then her
husband made her go to the
hospital after trying to con-
vince her to go prior to that
time, said Cory.
After getting the call about
his mother being in the hospi-
tal Cory immediately wanted
to go and be at her side. It
wasnt going to be easy for
several reasons. After running
the tests the results came back
and it wasnt good. Rebecca
had a malignant brain tumor
with surgery scheduled for
Saturday morning, March 15.
Another reason why this
visit would be difficult for
Cory was because of some-
thing that happened when
Cory was just a toddler.
Today, Cory lives with his
grandmother, Edy Schmidt in
Grover Hill, and when Cory
was 2 years old it was evident
his young parents would
struggle to offer the kind of
care and nurturing a young-
ster would need.
Due to their lack of
parental support the courts
eventually ruled in such a
way that Cory would become
custody of his grandmother.
Soon after, the parents di-
vorced and went their sepa-
rate ways. It was at that point
the relationship between Cory
and his parents would strain
due to distance. Rebecca
would find herself living in
Marion, Ohio near Colum-
bus, and his dad would settle
south of Cleveland in Barber-
ton.
Some 14 years have past
with the relationship between
son and parents being some-
what nonexistent. I was mad
at my mom for all that hap-
pened. My dad went to court
in order to have supervised
visits and that was fine with
me, said Cory. Prior to
hearing of his moms recent
hospital stay, Cory had not
seen his mother since last
summer. But with all of that
behind him, Cory said, What
happened in the past really
isnt that important anymore.
What is important is that I
have forgiven my mom and I
want to see her as much as I
can.
And so, on Saturday, the
day of the surgery, Cory en-
tered his moms room to see
a scared young woman. Her
head shaved and patiently
waiting to be escorted to the
O. R. The news was not what
they were hoping for follow-
ing the surgery. The fast
growing tumor, the size of a
golf ball, could only be par-
tially removed. The cancer-
ous portion that could not be
recovered was growing into
her brain.
Leaving her room on Satur-
day evening, Cory realized
that he needed to do some-
thing to encourage his mom.
The young teenager with long
hair, maybe 10-12 inches in
length, decided to cut it off
and shave his head in support
of his moms situation. On
Sunday morning, Cory
waltzed into his moms room,
not knowing what her reac-
tion would be to his new
look.
Cory said, She laughed
and hugged me and quietly
said that I didnt look like
Justin Bieber.
When Cory first heard
about what his mom was
going through and hearing the
word cancer associated with
her illness, he went through
several emotions. I broke
down and cried, but after see-
ing her it was okay. I just
wanted her to have quality of
life and to be able to spend as
much time with her as possi-
ble., said Cory.
Several days have passed
since their time spent at the
Grant Medical Center. Not
only did Rebecca receive sup-
port from her son, but Re-
beccas brother, Nick Decker
joined Cory by shaving his
head. Today, Rebecca is
home and while on spring
break Cory plans to spend as
much time with his mom as
possible.
Cory is not exactly sure
what he will do with his
locks, but one thought he has
is to have it made into a wig for
his mom. Thats something
that I have seriously thought
about doing. But for now I am
thankful for the time I have
with my mom. There is some-
thing about offering forgive-
ness that allows you to
appreciate your future while
forgetting the past, Cory said.

Clemens has been selected as
the Paulding County Progress

Wrestler of the Year in voting
by the countys coaches re-
cently.
Clemens was 47-5 this past
year and also captured the
Green Meadows Conference
championship along with a
sectional title. The sophomore
grappler also advanced to the
state tournament for the sec-
ond straight year. Clemens
league title and sectional
championship was the second
straight year for both as well.
I think what helps him
tremendously is the fact he
started so young, noted
Raider coach George
Clemens, the sophomore
wrestlers father. We have
encouraged him and sup-
ported him but it has been his
desire to be successful in
wrestling. As he has gotten
older, he has really set it as a
goal to make it to the state
podium.
Clemens has a very impres-
sive overall record of 93 wins
and eight losses in his two
seasons at the high school
level.
Last summer he wrestled
with kids from Wauseon,
Delta and Defiance, added
the Raider mentor. He also
went with a team from Cleve-
land down to Disney in
Florida. He has worked very,
very hard on his skills and has
wrestled virtually nonstop. He
needs to keep getting stronger
and will have to really im-
prove his strength for next
year because he will probably
be wrestling at 126 or 132.

Wow! Spring is here. Only one grading period
remains for the Wayne Trace Class of 2014. It
has been a great pleasure for me getting to know
many of Lhls year's senlors, as Lhey have made a
very positive impression on me these past three
school years. I believe I speak for many members
of our faculty and staff when I say that we will
miss the members of Class of 2014.
Speaking of spring, we are now entering what is
statistically the most dangerous time of year for
high school juniors and seniors - spring break,
prom, and graduaLlon. lease, leL's all emphaslze
to our impressionable seventeen and eighteen-
year-olds the importance of making wise deci-
sions during this time of the school year. Despite
what many juniors and seniors may believe, the
parents are still calling the shots on most issues
lnvolvlng sLudenLs. lL's everyone's responslblllLy
to step up, take charge, and lead our young
people down the right path and away from
destructive decisions. Thank you for all you do in
Lhls area of your chlld's llfe.
Sprlng also brlngs upon us Lhe LesLlng season."
Right or wrong, the Ohio Department of Educa-
tion grades much of our academic success on
how well our students perform on the annual
state mandated tests, better known as the Ohio
Graduation Tests and the Ohio Achievement
Assessments. Because so much emphasis is
placed on these tests at the state level, we feel it
necessary to put equal emphasis on these tests
wlLh our sLaff and sLudenLs. 1haL's why lL's vlLal
that we all work together during this ever-
important time of the year. Good attendance,
good attention, and a good attitude all go a long
way in determining success at school. In addi-
tion, the state of Ohio continues to raise the bar
on academic achievement, so we must also
answer the call of duty and expect more from our
students. A failure to do so is a failure to fulfill
our professlonal duLles. As l've sLaLed many
times, we must all work together, as success at
school is a team effort between home and
school. Everyone plays a vital part in the educa-
tion of our students.
Turning our attention to calamity days and
make up days, the board of education and teach-
ers' assoclaLlon are currenLly worklng LogeLher Lo
formulate a plan for making up several missed
school days. Options may include extending the
school day and/or adding days on to the end of
the school year. Once we have an agreed-upon
plan in place, we will advertise this plan through
a variety of communication tools: A message
through our Honeywell Instant Alert system,
press releases in local newspapers, and notices
from school buildings just to name a few. As
always, we will do our very best to keep you as
well informed as we possibly can concerning
changes to the school calendar.
Time is running out to nominate a former staff
member to be considered for the 2014 Wayne
Trace Staff Hall of Fame. Our HOF committee
hopes Lo announce Lhls year's lnducLees aL Lhe
May BOE meeting. As in past years, we will host
a formal ceremony prior to the start of a home
football game, at which time the Class of 2014
will be officially inducted. We would like to thank
everyone who has nominated a former employee
for this prestigious award, as this honor would
not be possible without members of our commu-
nity playing such a key role in the process.
Congratulations to the cast and crew of this
year's muslcal. ulrecLed by Mlss Sharon Splnner
and Mrs. Joni Wenninger, Bye Bye Birdie attract-
ed very large crowds for each performance. Your
continued support of our performing arts depart-
ment is critical to the overall development of our
students and greatly appreciated by everyone
involved in this department.
Finally, we hope that all of our students had an
enjoyable spring break and feel refreshed and
ready to go for the remainder of the 2013-2014
school year.
As always, if you have questions or concerns
abouL your chlld's educaLlonal experlence aL
Wayne Trace, feel free to contact your building
principal or superintendent.

2014-2015 Young 5's (Transitional Kindergarten)
and Traditional Kindergarten
Wayne Trace is excited to announce the possi-
bility of two Kindergarten age programs for the
2014-2015 school year. These options include a
possible Young 5's (Transitional Kindergarten)
and a regular Traditional Kindergarten.
Both programs are all day, every day programs
that provide students with a Kindergarten
curriculum based on the Ohio Department of
Education content standards. After each child's
Kindergarten screening, a team of academic pro-
fessionals will meet and gather their findings. A
recommendation will then be made to parents
regarding a placement for their child.
Students enrolled in Traditional Kindergarten
will need to be 5 years of age prior to August 1,
2014. Students enrolled in the Young 5's
(Transitional Kindergarten) must be 5 years of
age on or before September 30, 2014.
It is important to note that the creation of the
Young 5's (Transitional Kindergarten) classroom
will be contingent upon a minimum enrollment
as determined by Wayne Trace administration.
All students interested in enrolling in either
program are required to participate in the Kinder-
garten screening process. Screenings will take
place at WTPE on April 21 and 22 and at WTGH
on April 23 and 24.
To register your child for Kindergarten, please
call WT Payne Elementary at 419-263-2512 or WT
Grover Hill Elementary at 419-587-3414.

Our next Coffee & Dessert Parent/Professional
Series will be Tuesday, April 1, from 4:30-6:30
p.m. at the Jr./Sr. High School Lecture Hall. Linell
Weinberg, Executive Director of the Autism
Society of Northwest Ohio, will be presenting
"What You Don't Know Can Hurt You: The Hidden
Curriculum of Interacting with Law Enforcement
and First Responders". Individuals with develop-
mental disabilities, including autism, can have
difficulty communicating with police and other
first responders in incidents where there is a
crisis in the home or community and no adult is
available (i.e. accident, injury, fire, lost, etc.). This
training will help parents and school profession-
als prepare the child for interaction and will
include videos, useful handouts, and other
"freebies". This training is free. If interested, con-
tact Cathy Ruiz at Payne Elementary (419-263-
2512) or by email at cruiz@wb.noacsc.org. For
any information about preschool, Coffee & Des-
sert Trainings, or any special education topic or
related services, please contact Laurie DeLong at
Grover Hill Elem. or at WBESC (419-399-4711) or

WTPE has been a very busy school lately. Our
students have been putting the final touches on
their Ohio Achievement Assessment preparation.
Study sessions are available for students to at-
tend from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. on Saturday April
12, 26 and May 3. Teachers will be working with
students to give them personalized instruction to
support their success when taking the test. We
encourage all students to take advantage of
these special study times.
Our school has completed our second lock
down drill using the Alert, Lock Down and Inform
components of the A.L.I.C.E. procedures. Pauld-
ing County Deputies assisted with this drill and
we want to thank them for their guidance and
instruction. We are very proud of the level of
preparedness that our students and staff demon-
strate during these drills.
In other news, please note that we will be start-
ing our school day on April 3 at the regular time
of 8:40 a.m. A staff in-service had been previous-
ly planned for that date.
The Battle of the Books is an annual event that
WTPE students participate in each April. The
building-wide competition will take place at 1:30
on April 9. The winning team will represent
WTPE at the Paulding County Battle of the Books
competition held at the Paulding County Youth
Leadership Building on April 16 at 12:30 p.m.
Please remember that Kindergarten screening
will be held April 21 and 22 at WTPE. All children
who will be 5 by September 30, 2014 are invited
to participate in this process. Please call us at
419-263-2512 to register your child for the

The beginning of April reminds us that the Ohio
Achievement Assessments are not far off. Over
the course of this school year teachers have been
working hard to ensure each student is leaning

which is what all students in grades 3-6 will be
tested on. Students will be tested in Reading and
Math, while the 5
th
graders will also be tested in
Science. Testing will begin with Reading on
Wednesday, May 7, followed by Math on Thurs-
day, May 8, and Science on Friday, May 9.

It has never been necessary
to enact a cold weather poli-
cy in Paulding County. That
is until this month of January.
Theres been an onslaught of
below-zero temperatures, high
winds and an accumulation of
snow.
It appears that there is not
much relief coming this week,
as temperatures are to dip
down to below zero once
again.
When the road conditions
are bad, residents usually get
fair warning from the news
media, EMA and weather
services informing of ap-
proaching bad weather.
Information is also available
on all of the school delays and
closings. Sometimes, the de-
lays and closings are an-
nounced the night before.
What nobody realizes is the
process involved in making
the decision whether to cancel
school or just delay it.

Pick on grandpa night
It didnt take our little
granddaughter, Kirsten, long
to get my attention the other
night when Joyce and I
walked into the house for a
special evening of babysitting
with her.
Her dad had told her about
an hour earlier that Grandpa
and Grandma Langham were
staying with her for the
evening and it didnt take her
long to make sure that the
evening was well planned.
First there was going to be
a photo session with
Grandpa, then we were going
to have pizza that was going
to be ordered in because he
has the money to pay for it.
Other activities would be
feeding the piggy bank,
Grandma reading stories and
anything to avoid bedtime.
Sounded like a pretty good
agenda to me. She was really
ready to go on the photo
thing. She ran to the door and
said, Grandpa, have you got
your camera? Before I could
answer, she ran to the sofa,
sat down and started jumping
up and down, looking at me
with her bright little eyes and
saying, Grandpa, cheese.
Ordering the pizza quickly
followed, but not before she
and Grandma took full ad-
vantage of a game called
Throw the pillows at
Grandpa.
Pizza ordering time in-
volved deciding what would
go on the other half of the
pizza. Kirsten had hers fig-
ured out. Cheese. That was
nothing fancy, just cheese.
Thank goodness there are
two sides, because Grandpa
and Grandma both wanted a
1960s mixture of hamburger,
onions and mushrooms.
But, prior to eating the
pizza, there was the prayer
before the meal. As usual,
Grandpa was in charge and as
usual, Grandpa played the lit-
tle game where he closed the
prayer with, Amen, amen,
amen, amen, amen, amen,
amen and amen.
He says way too many
amens, she said to her
Grandma with bewilderment.
Supper was over, time to
go back once again playing
Throw the pillows at
Grandpa, a game that
Grandma seemed to enjoy all
too much. Things got even
more intense when Aunt Julie
arrived and it became Throw
the sofa cushions at
Grandpa.
One of the most precious
times is story time when
Grandma opens a book only
to have her granddaughter
curl up into her lap and pro-
ceed to tell her own version
of the story while Grandma
reads the real version.
But, alas, there was one
more round of Throw the
pillows at Grandpa and then
the real drama of the night.
Kirstens parents are work-
ing diligently these days on
potty-training her and it is al-
most there. In fact, it has
come to the point that a re-
ward is appropriate when suc-
cess occurs.
And so it was, the night we
babysat, Kirsten had a win-
ning moment and Joyce gave
her the cherished rewarding
M&Ms.
Teasing Grandpa saw this
as a moment when it was
time to ask Kirsten for some
M&Ms of his own.
But, I wasnt prepared for
what I was going to hear
when I said, Kirsten, can
Grandpa have some
M&Ms?
Yes, Grandpa, she said,
you can have some, but first
you has to go potty. The
whole household roared with
laugher as I sat totally stunned
realizing that I had been taken.
And then she ran back to the
sofa, started bouncing up and
down, as she looked at me with
her own grin and said,
Cheese.

In The
Garden
The perfumerie in the garden
Fragrance in some form or
another makes up one of the
most successful luxury indus-
tries the world has ever known.
Few things that are by and large
unnecessary, can boast of such
popularity as the use of scent in
our everyday lives.
Think of it - we dont just use
fragrance in perfumes and
colognes. Cleaning supplies
have it. We burn candles, plug
cartridges into our walls and
hang deodorizers in our cars. Its
even in our garbage bags. This
makes it tough for those who are
allergic to perfumes, because we
live in a world thats inundated
with them.
Thank goodness Im not ad-
versely affected by perfumes,
because I love fragrance and use
it in all forms. In my garden, I
grow some plants expressly for
their fragrance, not because I
think the plant or flowers they
bear are particularly attractive.
Recently, Ive become enam-
ored with the scent of lavender.
Ive always grown it in my gar-
den, but I was never particularly
attracted to its scent before now.
This year, Im thinking of mak-
ing a special garden just for
growing different kinds of
lavender. I want more of it so
that I not only can enjoy it out-
side, but inside too, as I use the
buds and blooms to make sa-
chets and potpourri.
Lavender can be challenging
to grow here in the clay soil of
northwest Ohio, but it doesnt
have to be. Classified as an herb,
it requires full sun and nearly
perfect drainage. It prefers alka-
line soil, which we generally
have, and soil with low fertility.
Drought tolerant once estab-
lished, it can be a good choice
for our hot, dry summers if you
want a deliciously fragrant gar-
den.
Drainage is the biggest issue
with lavender, so amending the
clay soil with gravel and/or
compost can help. Dont add
sand to the clay, thinking that
will improve drainage though;
youll just get something resem-
bling concrete. (Trust me on
this.) Planting lavender in a
mound or in raised beds will
help and using a gravel mulch
around the base rather than a
wood-based mulch will discour-
age stem rot.
With 40 different species of
lavender and over 400 varieties
within the species, youll find
several perennial lavenders (La-
vandula angustifolia and L. x in-
termedia) in our garden centers.
You may also encounter annual
types, such as Spanish lavender
(L. stoechas). The flower bracts
on Spanish lavender are quite at-
tractive, with their plumes at
the top of the stem, and differ
slightly from blooms of the
lavenders that are perennial in
Zone 5.
If you have a known microcli-
mate in your garden where it
stays a little warmer, you may be
able to grow Spanish lavender as
a perennial. Extra mulching dur-
ing winter may help too, al-
though Ive tried growing it
twice with no luck, even taking
these extra precautions. These
are generally only hardy to
Zones 6 or 7.
Older varieties of perennial
lavender that grow well here are
Grosso, Provence, Mun-
stead and Hidcote. Ive got two
of those and theyve performed
well for me for many years now,
but this year Ill be adding a new
variety called Phenomenal.
Developed by Peace Tree
Farms in eastern Pennsylvania,
Phenomenal was introduced in
2012. Its extremely winter hardy,
resistant to root and foliar dis-
eases, tolerates high heat and hu-
midity, and is deer and rabbit
resistant.
Lavender has been known for
centuries for its calming effect.
Used in teas and various modes
of aromatherapy, it can ease anx-
iety, stress, and insomnia. Cant
we all use a little more calm in
our busy lives? Maybe you
should grow some lavender too.

A watershed is the area of land where all the
water that is under it or drains off of it goes into
the same place. John Wesley Powell, scientist
geographer, put it best when he said that a wa-
tershed is that area of land, a bounded hydro-
logic system, within which all living things are
inextricably linked by their common water
course and where, as humans settled, simple
logic demanded that they become part of a com-
munity.
Watersheds come in all shapes and sizes and
cross county, state, and national boundaries. In
the continental United States, there are 2,110 wa-
tersheds; including Hawaii, Alaska, and Puerto
Rico, there are 2,267 watersheds.
The quality of a watershed can be identified
in a couple of simple ways. The first is looking
at what vegetation is established. Does it have a
nice stand of grass growing, are invasive weeds
and brush growing in spots and what is the sever-
ity of growth, or is it just soil present which may
be due to erosion issues.
Another issue is standing or stagnant water.
Water laying for long periods of time may be due
to grade changes caused from soil deposited
from one area to another, for example. This may
be from a deteriorating structure or just years and
years of deposits from surface erosion. Water
that is stagnant may be caused by vegetation
which can act as a restriction, due to structure,
or aggressive growth and overtaking.
Also, quality of a watershed can be measured
by pollution. Water pollution can come from farm
runoff such as fertilizer or herbicide after a heavy
rain storm. Animal waste run off from a barn or
feed lot can contribute greatly to watershed pol-
lution. Factory spills or dumps can produce a dis-
astrous effect on the ecosystem as well as a
roadside vehicle accident that was never cleaned
up properly, such as fuel, antifreeze. Also, old
functioning sewer outlets that are not regularly
maintained is also a form of water pollution.
Water pollution prevention and control meas-
ures, in a watershed, are critical to improving
water quality and reducing the need for costly
wastewater and drinking water treatment. Be-
cause water pollution can come from many dif-
ferent sources, a variety of pollution and
maintenance control measures are needed.
Is our watershed healthy?
Nature center to see $21k
from Ohio Capital Budget
From Staff Reports
PAULDING The Black Swamp Nature Center
has been awarded a project grant through Ohios
2014 Capital Budget.
Gov. John R. Kasich, Senate President Keith Faber
and House Speaker William G. Batchelder unveiled
the Capital Budget in Columbus on March 19. The
more than $2.386 billion in appropriations includes
significant new support for local communities con-
struction priorities as part of an overall plan for
needed improvements to Ohios public facilities, in-
cluding local schools, colleges and universities, parks
and prisons.
Paulding County is one of 74 counties to receive
funding.
The Black Swamp Nature Center is slated to re-
ceive a $21,525 grant through Ohio Department of
Natural Resources to pave the parking lot at the edu-
cation center, located along Fairground Drive in
Paulding.
The nature center is owned by the county and op-
erated by Paulding Soil & Water Conservation District
(SWCD).
Tony Burkley (state representative) called me on
Monday and notified me the grant went through, said
SWCD education specialist Mark Holtsberry. He said
Burkley had phoned him and said money was still
available for ODNR funding and encouraged Holts-
berry to write a grant proposal for the paving project.
Tony initiated the contact. It was his idea to apply,
Holtsberry added.
The entire funding request has been approved.
Paving could be completed in mid-August, following
preparation and drainage work.
A paved parking area will increase accessibility for
handicapped individuals, school buses and senior cit-
izens transportation, as well making the education
center more attractive.

center, visit www.pauldingswcd.org.
