Frozen on
a summer
evening
Staff Photos/Paulding County Progress
Over 120 people flocked to
the Paulding Municipal Pool
on Friday, June 27 to watch
the Disney movie Frozen.
Pool manager Kellie Gaston
said they were pleased with
the turnout and there will def-
initely be more movie nights
this summer. Although there
is no schedule for showings
yet, she would like to show at
least two more films. The
public really seemed to like it;
the weather was phenome-
nal; it was a great turnout,
Gaston said.

PAULDING Paulding County OSU Extension
Agent Sarah Noggle said recently that in spite of
some heavy rains and storms last week, the local
county is still the sweet spot of Northwest Ohio for
countywide consistency and crop conditions.
While noting that most farmers would probably pre-
fer a drying period with sunshine and heat, Noggle
said that most crops in the county are looking good
and that in many cases, beans benefited from the rain.
We got plenty of rain, but were still okay, said
Noggle. The humidity has been giving us great
growing degree days for our crops.
One concern, at least in appearance, has been
downed wheat in several areas as a result of strong
winds and rain blowing into wheat that is heavy and
getting closer to harvest. However, in spite of ap-
pearance, Noggle said that most farmers should be
able to pick up any wheat that doesnt stand back up
by harvesting in different directions.
We are at a stage past danger, said Noggle.
Some of the wheat that is down will stand a little and
some wont, but it shouldnt hinder yields.
One concern, however, of some area farmers con-
cerning the downed wheat is whether that laying in
the field will dry as well as the stalks that are stand-
ing and more open to wind and sun.

HAVILAND In special
session the Wayne Trace
Local School District Board
of Education met on June 30
in the lecture hall.
The new drug policy for
student-athletes was ap-
proved, the resignation of
Jacob Moser was accepted as
was the contract for special
education teacher Carly
Lichtensteiger approved for
the 2014-15 school year.
The 2014-15 drug policy
for student-athletes include:
All student-athletes will
be tested prior to the begin-
ning of each of the three ath-
letic seasons (fall, winter,
spring). This type of testing is
formally referred to a Draw
the Line policy. The Draw
the Line testing will be an-
nounced four to six weeks
prior to each of the three test-
ing days.
Random drug testing of
student-athletes will occur
two times during each athlet-
ic season (fall, winter, spring)
with approximately ten per-
cent of the current athletes
tested each time. Names will
be drawn by the testing com-
pany. However, if school of-
ficials have reasonable sus-
picion that a student athlete
is/has recently used drugs,
school officials may request
that this student be included
in the next random test.
Based on recent roster
numbers, approximately
325 tests will be adminis-
tered during the 2014-15
school year. Each test will
cost approximately $14.
Therefore, the estimated
cost for the 2014-15 school
year will be $4,550.
For the 2015-16 school
year:
Based on an informal
evaluation done by the su-
perintendent, junior
high/high school principal,
athletic director, and/or vari-
ous head coaches, consider-
ation will be given for
adding additional competi-
tive extracurricular groups/
clubs to the list of students
tested for drugs.
The number of tests
and the cost of the program
will vary depending on what
extracurricular groups/clubs
are added to the list.

Paulus said that those who feel there
is nothing to be concerned about
should talk to people with lakefront
property on Grand Lake St. Marys in
Mercer County.
You will find out if you have real
estate next to a manure facility, there is
no getting out; it has no market value,
it will go down, down, down,
stressed Paulus.

PAULDING A group of local citi-
zens met at the Paulding Eagles last
Tuesday evening, June 24, to express
their concern about the arrival of yet
another megafarm on county soil.
Pat Paulus, one of the spokesper-
sons for the group, said that a pro-
posed 2,400-head hog farm on County
Road 95 has brought many citizens to
concern over the question, where is it
going to go from here?
Paulus, Matt Strayer and Lou Levy
served as concerned citizens who led
the discussion. Terry Buehler served
as moderator for the group.
The premises of the group, Citizens
Concerned for Quality Health, Water
and Air in Paulding County, include,
we have the right to enjoy our home
and property, we care about quality
health, air and water and we want
legislation, regulations and local con-
trol that protect us and our rights.
Paulus, a native of Paulding County,
was a professor of biology at Texas
Christian University, but has recently
moved back to the area. Concern over
leaching of manure into county soil
and water is one of her biggest inter-
ests at this time, Paulus said.
I am a concerned neighbor. I be-
lieve strongly that we have a right to
enjoy our homes and property, Paulus
said. We deserve to have a quality en-
vironment, healthy air and good water.
I would like to have us gain local con-
trol over some of these projects.
I am concerned about land for habi-
tat, restoration and water quality for
Flat Rock, continued Paulus. Im
sorry that it took until now for me to
get involved.
Im here because if we dont do
anything we will be a manure pit, a
sewage lagoon, added Paulus. We
have no local control. The commis-
sioners didnt bring this to us. It wont
magically go away. Everybody knows
there is not an infinite amount of ma-

Noggle said that some corn
is showing some yellowing,
but not a lot. She noted that the
yellowing occurs due to low
nitrogen uptake from the rain
and water.
When there is excess
water, it inhibits roots from
taking up nitrogen, observed
Noggle. It accumulates a ni-
trite that is toxic to the plant.
But we are early enough that
the yellowing probably wont
affect it much, especially with
humid weather and heat com-
ing on. We have great drainage
structures in this county and
that helps a lot.
Noggle noted that officials
from the C.O.R.N. Newsletter
said that higher than usual
rainfall in June has pretty
much been what was expected.
The first half of July, noted
weather expert Jim Noel from
the newsletter, is expected to
be humid with above normal
temperatures. However, the
humidity is expected to keep
even the warmest days below
95 degrees and night time
lows in the 65-75 degree
range.
Noel did say that with a heat
dome to the south and a cool
pool to the north, a ring of
fire, the development of
heavy thunderstorms between
the two air masses, could
stretch from the Dakotas and
Minnesota into northern
Indiana and Ohio.
The best chances for heavy
rain appear to be in the north-
ern half of Ohio, said Noel.
Normal rainfall is not far
from an inch a week.
Indications continue to sug-
gest a turn to drier weather in
later July or August.
On Saturday, June 28, the
Paulding County Sheriffs
Office experienced technical
difficulties with the 911 sys-
tem.
We are not receiving any
911 calls at this time, and the
calls are not rolling over to our
neighboring county as they
should in this situation, was
Sheriff Jason Landers initial
statement concerning the situ-
ation.
Personnel from the phone
company worked on the issue
until nearly 7:30 a.m. Sunday,
June 29 when a second press
release indicated the matter
had been corrected.
The issues we were experi-
encing with our E911 system
have been resolved, said the
sheriff. I apologize for any in-
convenience this might have
caused. We strive to bring the
best customer service possible
to our citizens.
I praise the representatives
from Windstream that worked
swiftly to resolve this prob-
lem, he concluded.
LATTY On Wednesday,
June 25, demolition began on
the former Latty School.
The school closed in the
early 1950s after consolidating
with Haviland/Scott to become
Blue Creek School. Stoller
Honey purchased the building,
located on Ohio 613, and by
the mid-1950s was bottling
honey there.
Darl and Iva Stoller were
watching the tear-down
Thursday morning. Darl said
his father, Irwin Stoller, had
purchased the old school when
it was condemned, around
1952, and the family installed
equipment necessary for the
bee business.
Irwin and Darl added a new
section to the north side of the
school, facing the highway,
some time in the 1960s. They
stopped packing honey there
about 17 years ago and have
been using the building for
storage.
Darls son, Kirk, is president
of the company now. Kirk said
in the 1960s, lightning hit the
building and the roof caught
fire. It was replaced with a flat
roof. However, the flat roof
had its own problems over the
years. A severe storm damaged
the roof two years ago, and al-
though repairs were made, the
structure has been deteriorat-
ing, leading to the decision to
raze this local landmark. Too
many repairs, and it wasnt
worth keeping, Kirk said.
The old, two-story section
of the building is being demol-
ished, leaving the old gym sec-
tion and the newer 1960s addi-
tion. Currently, Kirk said, there
are no plans for the rest of the
structure.
PAULDING Represen -
tatives from Gov. Kasichs of-
fice and Congressman Bob
Lattas office visited
Paulding-Putnam Electric
Cooperative (PPEC) in
Paulding last week to hear
more about the co-ops renew-
able energy units.
On Wednesday, June 25,
Chase Eikenbary, regional li-
aison for the governor, and
Ryan Mack, district represen-
tative for Latta, viewed the co-
ops onsite wind and solar en-
ergy units. They were joined
by county economic develop-
er Jerry Zielke.
George Carter, PPECs gen-
eral manager and CEO, said
the wind and solar units have
been at the facility for three
years. Co-op members have
been very interested in the
units, he said. Current data on
the wind turbine and solar
panels can be found on their
websites home page at
www.ppec.coop.
The wind turbine, which
can produce 10 kW, can cost
$45,000-$60,000. The 5 kW
solar panel unit costs about
$20,000-$25,000.
One drawback of renewable
energy sources is that they
typically are not operating at
full capacity at peak demand
times. The brightest sunlight
occurs at midday, but most
homes need power later in the
day, when the light is fading.
Renewable energy will
never be mainstream until we
have improved storage (bat-
tery) technology, Carter said.
PPEC energy consultant
Peter Niagu can meet with
customers to discuss home en-
ergy needs and can model a
specific householdss needs
and usage.
Mack and Eikenbary had
questions about other energy
sources, such as shale, natural
gas and propane.
Carter said natural gas pro-
duction is focused on winter
heating in our region, not win-
ter power generation. He said
theres a need for better infra-
structure to transport energy to
where its needed.
After viewing the renew-
able energy units, the group
moved inside for presenta-
tions by Carter and Niagu.
Niagu discussed member
services for energy manage-
ment. Using the free
MyMeter program, cus-
tomers can monitor their elec-
tric use on a daily basis.
Its probably the smartest
way to increase energy effi-
ciency, Niagu said. Were
one of a very few power com-
panies who have this.
Every customer has a
smart meter and can sign up
for the service. By checking
meter data, residents can alter
consumption habits, thereby
lowering their bills and avoid-
ing high bill surprises.
It empowers them to make
changes, to turn things off, to
replace this or that, said
Niagu. Customers also can
create settings to alert them of
usage spikes and higher-than-
average monthly usage.
A unique feature for cus-
tomers is that they can access
information on how much en-
ergy their household is using
in comparison to PPECs
wind and solar generation.
Say youre looking at a solar
system; you can view what
youre using vs. how much is
being generated, Niagu said.
Were empowering cus-
tomers to do this themselves.
We give them real data and
they can make their own deci-
sions, Carter added.
Carter also demonstrated
an iPad like ones now on all of
PPECs service trucks. It has
digital maps to aid in dispatch-
ing for repairs. He said that
crews can see what type of
poles and equipment are at the
site and can take along what
they need, greatly speeding up
response time.
and Water, was present for the
meeting.
Henderson said that her of-
fice examines reported inci-
dents of concern in northwest
Ohio. She urged those with
concerns to contact her office.
She noted that the primary
concern of her department is
that of protection of water.
Dr. Don Snyder said that he
had been health commissioner
of the county for 20 years.
Snyder said that it has been his
experience not to expect help
from the Environmental
Protection Agency, an organi-
zation that he feels is simply
out to make money for itself.
They (megafarmers) have
every right to be there, said
Snyder. You cant stop them.
Your right as a property owner
is not equal to the right of
those farms.
Dont tell us that it (ma-
nure) is not going to leach out
in time, that it is not going to
run out into the waterways,
said Snyder. You still have a
way to fight this. Make peti-
tions, take samples, check
high water, see if there is
something there that promotes
illness. You have something to
fight for.
They (lawmakers) have a
right to set penalties and laws
against anything that is a detri-
ment to your health. Dont
feel helpless, added Snyder.
Jerry Klopfenstein, who
manages a large hog farm,
said that taking on such a farm
has been a good way to keep
his children close to home and
provide employment for
them.
He noted that he has a struc-
ture by design that will hold
over 500 days of manure.
I watch the ground condi-
tion, said Klopfenstein. I
work in those barns every day.
I love to have family and
friends around to work with. I
want manure on my land; I
want the nutrients to stay
there.
Regardless where you are,
you have positives and nega-
tives, continued Klop fen -
stein. Our kids came to us
and wanted an opportunity to
help take care of the land.
Strayer, who lives in town,
said that there are some days
when manure from the farms
can be smelled four or five
miles away. He also com-
mented on some of the social
concerns of what such proj-
ects can cause in the commu-
nity.
Traditionally, rural com-
munities have been more
close-knit than urban, said
Strayer. We come together,
we can be close. Im afraid
that some of this will undo
some of that.
The next citizens group
meeting is scheduled for 7
p.m. Tuesday, July 8 at
Paulding Eagles.

The Amish Cook
By: Lovina Eicher
Joe and I. Health-wise its
probably better if Im too lazy
to go make some. We have
been enjoying fresh
spearmint tea from our gar-
den. The children like it when
I make iced tea with it. I re-
member as a little girl making
tea from Moms garden. My
sisters and I would wash off
the tea leaves by the water
pump outside. One of us
would sneak some sugar from
Moms sugar bowl while one
of us would fill a little pitcher
with hot water from Moms
tea kettle. We had a little
building outside for our play-
house. We had it set up like a
house with all our dolls. The
bed was a blanket on the
floor. Our table was a piece of
plywood set on two blocks of
wood. And pieces of wood
worked as our chairs. But no
matter how poor the furniture
looked we had lots of fun play-
ing mother to our dolls. With
our tea we wanted food so
someone would sneak in the
house once more to see what
we could use. Sometimes it
was cookies, saltine crackers,
or bread and apple butter.
I believe it is correct when
they say history repeats it-
self. The other day I caught
Lovina and Kevin raiding my
cabinet that works as my
pantry. They were looking for
some food to eat outside with
Lovinas tea set. So I gave
It is Thursday already and
time to get this column out in
todays mail. It hardly seems
like two weeks have passed
since I penned the last col-
umn. I was very happy that
daughter Verena offered to
write last week in my place.
She loves to write so she did-
nt have a problem about not
getting the length of the col-
umn written. It helped out so
much that I didnt have to
take time out of our busy
summer schedule to write.
Sometimes I can write a col-
umn in just a matter of min-
utes. Then there are times
when so much work awaits
me that I find it difficult to
concentrate on writing.
Like now it is 5:30 a.m.
Daughters Elizabeth and
Susan just left for work. My
husband Joe left already be-
fore 4 a.m.
The rest are still in bed so
all is nice and quiet except for
the noisy birds outside the
window trying to let the
world know that daylight is
almost here. I like to hear the
birds though and I could sleep
through all their chatter if I
was tired enough. Just know-
ing that the day will be an-
other busy one takes the sleep
from me. Coffee would sound
good but if I have to make it
just for myself I skip it a lot.
On weekend mornings I al-
ways make a pot of coffee for
them some advice on what we
did as children. They crushed
saltine crackers for one dish
and made little bites of peanut
butter and jelly bread for an-
other. Although theirs was just
a tea party on a blanket in the
yard they had a nice time. Oh
to be that age again and be so
carefree!
Elizabeth and Susan will
only work until lunch time
today. Timothy and Elizabeth
and Mose and Susan are
evening table waiters at the
wedding today of Tim and Re-
becca. Rebecca is a cousin to
Mose.
Elizabeth finished her outfit
last night and I finished Susans
yesterday. The color is a lovely
shade of blue.
Try this recipe for a home-
made zucchini scramble!

Winning the Battle for a Generation
By Rick Jones
Defiance Area Youth for
Christ executive director
What numbers matter the most to you? The
state route you travel to go to work, the hours
you work, your age, or the numbers of years
youve worked? What about the amount of
money you are paid for your work, your
hourly wage, or your annual salary? Perhaps
it is the number of years you have went to
school, college or post graduate work.
Recently I was honored and blessed by so
many dear friends for the number of years I
have worked for Defiance Area Youth for
Christ, 36 years. There were so many kind
words, cards and gifts given as a way to show
appreciation for the number of years I have
served with Youth for Christ.
But those numbers are not the numbers that
matter most. For example, a young rescue
diver asked his mentor about the number of
lives he had saved that had spanned over his
heroic life-time of rescuing lives. The old wise
mentor responded, The number 22 is the
number that has mattered the most to me over
my years of rescue, that is the number I lost,
the number I could not save.
Numbers too, mattered to Jesus, so much so
that in the scripture reference below we
read Jesus left the ninety nine to go and
look for the one that wandered off
Matthew 18:10-14 (NIV), 12 What do you
think? If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one
of them wanders away, will he not leave the
ninety-nine on the hills and go to look for the
one that wandered off? 13 And if he finds it, I
tell you the truth, he is happier about that one
sheep than about the ninety-nine that did not
wander off. 14 In the same way your Father in
heaven is not willing that any of these little
ones should be lost.
What numbers really matter? How about the
one that has wondered off or the one who is
lost or the one God may have you to go to and
reach out to.

Youth for Christ, you may contact Youth for
Christ at 419-782-0656, P.O. Box 111, 210

Commissioners Journal June 16,
2014
This 16th day of June, 2014, the
Board of County Commissioners met
in regular session with the following
members present: Tony Zartman,
Roy Klopfenstein, Fred Pieper, and
Nola Ginter, Clerk.
MEETING NOTES OF AP-
POINTMENTS
Jim Langham, Paulding Progress;
Edward Bohn, Paulding County in-
terim EMA director; Sheriff Jason
Landers Langham interviewed
Bohn as the newly appointed interim
EMA director. Bohn is currently a
captain with the Defiance Fire De-
partment, planning to retire in Sep-
tember after 30 years of service. He
will become full-time Paulding
County EMA director after retire-
ment.
Bohn has served on the Defiance
County LEPC for 12 years and has
been a haz-mat first responder and
instructor since 1996. He has taken
emergency related classes at Four
County Career Center, Ohio Fire
Academy and Cleveland State Uni-
versity.
As part of his EMA duties, Bohn
plans to spearhead a traffic study to
track hazardous materials being
transported through Paulding County
to assure the safety of the residents.
He commented the public needs to be
aware and not afraid of haz-mat pass-
ing through the county. He is anxious
to work hand-in-hand with first re-
sponders, fire chiefs and Paulding
Countys EMS/EMT units.
Bohn would also like the opportu-
nity to educate the public and schools
about EMA and its function. His goal
in building the Paulding County
EMA is to do more with less and
work together.
Bohn emphasized the importance
of having a strong LEPC. He fully
expects it to take two years to get
both the EMA and LECP back on
track. Bohn believes in working with
the media as a tool to inform and ed-
ucate the public.
The Paulding County EMA is
under the direct supervision and ju-
risdiction of the Paulding County
commissioners; however, they will
look to the Paulding County EMA
Advisory Board for recommenda-
tions.
Bohn noted emergencies need to
be handled as a team effort. He stated
the public needs to be educated on
the procedures to follow, realizing
that every potential disaster is han-
dled differently. He will be in direct
communication with neighboring
EMA directors for guidance on the
day-to-day activity.
The commissioners are pleased
with the EMA director search com-
mittees recommendation to appoint
Mr. Bohn. Changes in the activities
of the EMA will take time; however,
the county residents will soon begin
to see results.
Larry Lee, E. Lee Construction
Inc., met briefly with the commis-
sioners. Together, they viewed the
exterior of the courthouse.
Bruce Cleveinger, Don Breece
and Cindy Torppa met with the com-
missioners to discuss the change in
directorship of the OSU Extension.
Breece is retiring and he introduced
Torppa as our new regional director.
She will be serving a 20-county area
in northwest Ohio.
The trio discussed the current sta-
tus of Pauldings OSU, noting we
currently have an ag educator and a
program assistant for 4-H. They also
noted there is currently an OSU Ex-
tension presence in every county in
Ohio.

stein to go into executive session at

Common Pleas
Habitat for
Humanity to
hold open house
Dear Editor,
I think there is a saying
somewhere or if not there
should be that something
that takes a long time is a
gift coming.
Millard Fuller, interna-
tional founder of Habitat for
Humanity had a vision that
volunteers would gather to-
gether and build homes, not
only as a place to live but as
a learning experience for
low income families. Each
family that is chosen for a
new home has to put in
sweat equity hours and take
classes on how to manage
money and a variety of other
areas that will help them to
be a successful home owner.
The homes are built very
modestly on a nonprofit, no-
interest basis. Families are
given every opportunity to
have a choice in what they
want their new home to look
like.
Through the Habitat for
Humanity program, the cost
of a home is reduced be-
cause of volunteerism, the
new home owners take pride
in all that they have accom-
plished and hopefully new
friendships have been
formed.
In the late 90s and early
2000, Habitat for Humanity
was organized to build
houses for residents of
Paulding County. Since that
time many residents of
Paulding County have
stepped forward to volunteer

their time to build homes.
The first house was built in
Paulding and since that time
we have built homes in
Antwerp, Melrose and Havi-
land for a total of five
homes. We try to build our
homes in areas where sanita-
tion and water service is al-
ready available. This is quite
a savings to the families. On
occasion we will have prop-
erty donated to us and this is
a great gift to the prospec-
tive home owner. We have
plans already in place to
begin a home in the Oak-
wood area.
Habitat for Humanity of
Paulding County members
would like to invite you to
the open of house of num-
bers six and seven. Yes, we
built two homes at the same
time at 316 and 318 E. Wall
St. in Paulding. Open house
will be July 12 at the site of
the two homes from 10 a.m.-
noon.
If you are interested in ap-
plying for a new home
please send a request to
Habitat for Humanity at P.O.
Box 328, Paulding, Ohio.
We will return a pre-applica-
tion to you for you to com-
plete and return to us.
As in all organizations
there are never enough vol-
unteers. We would like to in-
vite you to join our team.
Meetings are held on the
fourth Monday of the month
at 4:35 p.m. in the evening
at the Myer building, 106
East Jackson. If you would
just rather help with the
building of the next home
we will be appreciative of
that also.
Mark your calendar for
the annual Hog Run/roast
that will be Oct. 11 in mem-
ory of Mark Stoller. Mark
was a long time member of
Habitat. He had a great love
for building homes for the
low income families. The
Stoller family began this an-
nual event and all monies
are designated to the contin-
ued success of Habitat. Plans
are being finalized at this
time.
We hope to see you at the
open house July 12. You will
be able to tour the new
homes. Members of the
Habitat for Humanity com-
mittee will be present for
any information or questions
you might have.

Guest Column
More than a meal,
more than a mile
By Marsha Yeutter
Paulding County Senior Center
It amazes me when people call the Paulding County Senior
Center for assistance and when I explain to them the services
that we provide I hear, I didnt know you did all that. I try
hard to have community outreach and networking so our in-
formation is always available. I hope this column will help
someone who needs to know.
I feel the Paulding County Senior Center, located at 401 E.
Jackson St., is a hub for our community. So what are we all
about? Let me first say that we are NOT about feeding the
poor. We are NOT about a social club. We are NOT about a
bunch of old frail people
sitting around! The center
provides services to seniors
from all walks of life. We are
about helping our countys
senior residents stay H.I.P.
Healthy, Independent and
Productive.
We have three primary cat-
egories of services: meals, transportation and socialization.
Lets start with our Meal Program. Area residents who are
60 and over can come to the center Monday-Friday from
11:30 a.m.-noon and eat a hot nutritious meal. Those meals
are provided for a $3 suggested donation. You do not have to
be poor; its not welfare, its about eating healthy and staying
active by participating in events and socializing with others.
We also provide home-delivered meals. These meals are
available for our 60+ county residents who are in a home-
bound situation and/or seniors whom, due to health or mobil-
ity issues, cannot prepare a nutritious meal for themselves or
for their loved ones for whom they are caring for. These
meals are delivered to homes Monday Friday between 11
a.m. and 1 p.m.
Our meal programs are much more than a meal. They are
an opportunity for the families to know that their mom or
dad is eating properly. They are an opportunity for the person
to have someone checking on them daily. They are a friendly
smile and greeting daily from our great staff, often the only
person the senior will see that day.
In addition to the meals, we prepare for our seniors boxes
of food commodities, provided by West Ohio Food Bank,
and distributed from the center monthly.
Next we have our transportation services. We provide
transportation to and from medical appointments, grocery
store, services agencies and other miscellaneous approved
destinations. We provide this service for residents 55 and
over. We have a suggested donation of 25 cents per mile. We
go as far as Toledo, Fort Wayne, Lima and lots of trips in be-
tween. We have wheelchair accessible vehicles and our driv-
ers go through various trainings to provide a safe and
enjoyable atmosphere.
This service is about much more than the miles traveled.
Its the reassurance to our senior population that when they
give up the independence to drive, they can count on us to
help them. Its the reassurance to caregivers that we can help
get their loved ones to appointments when they are unable
due to work or distance.
The last of our services that I want to mention is the so-
cialization we provide through activities and events. We are
definitely not a place where old frail people sit around. We
have activities available daily. Exercise classes meet twice
weekly. Currently we are providing an evidence based pro-
gram called A Matter of Balance. Cards, bingo, and crafts
are actively taking place at least once or twice per week. Thanks
to area networking we provide blood pressure checks, toenail
care, fingernail manicures, hearing tests and other scheduled
health related activities monthly. Each month we try to schedule
an educational program. We also travel out of the area on occa-
sion for day trips to fun and interesting destinations.
The question many of you may have is how is this fi-
nanced? We receive a limited amount of federal and state funds
through the Area Office on Aging. Those funds are depleted
usually by June for our home-delivered meals. United Way of
Paulding County helps subsidize for some of those meals. An-
other revenue source is the donations from our participants. Sen-
ior participants are encouraged to donate what they feel they can
comfortably afford. Services are never denied due to lack of do-
nation.
Last, we are blessed to have a county that has chosen to pro-
vide us with levy dollars. That shows the county commissioners
and my staff that the community supports what we do. The sen-
ior center is administrated by the county commissioners and has
an advisory board that assists with extra expenses and fund-rais-
ing events.
We welcome guests to visit us anytime. If you would like to
eat lunch with us and you are under age 60, you can buy a meal
for $6.75.
Our center is open for all to enjoy. We rent our beautiful facil-
ity if you need a place to host an event. We are proud of our fa-
cility, our staff and our programs. For questions, call Marsha at
419-399-3650.

on a leash. I listen very well and even know some commands. I
get along well with other dogs, but we are not sure how I am with
cats. I sure would like to have a loving new home to call my very
own. I would make a wonderful buddy dog! Come on out to the
kennel and visit with me, I would love to meet you! For more in-

DOWN TO MY LAST CENT
The time has come for me
to retire my pen and paper, so
this is the final Penny for
Your Thoughts column. Let
me say this, it has been pure
joy writing this column and
especially getting the positive
feedback I have received
from the readers.
Without going into detail, I
will just say that many factors
played into my decision.
Since I have been writing this
column, I tried to present a
column that addressed differ-
ent situations that you may
want to know about and just
didnt ask. The past and how
things used to be were an im-
portant part of Pennies and it
was so much fun to go back
and remember little things
that happened and how life
used to be.
I have written about pets,
school, TV products, food,
candy, ice cream and pie. I
have reported on outhouses,
toilets, Thanksgiving, Christ-
mas and Easter. I enjoyed
writing about lying in a field
of clover and tasting those
purple flowers and looking up
at the sky and wondering how
heaven could ever be up
there. It was delightful to take
the readers inside with the
Paulding County Progress on
a cold, snowy day or outside
with a cold drink on a sum-
mers day and let them be a
part of Pennies.
Believe it or not people like
to read articles that will not
only make them laugh but
make them think. When I was
little, people used to call me
news reporter because I
asked so many questions. I
still have that inquisitive
mind and spirit.
Taking a break from Penny
For Your Thoughts doesnt
mean that I will never pick up
my pen again, because writ-
ing and being curious will al-
ways be a part of who I am.
As I look into my pockets,
I see one new shiny penny,
A Penny For
Your Thoughts....
By: Nancy Whitaker
just one and it may be my
last. Only God knows be-
cause He is in control of our
pennies. So I will leave you
with this poem:
I found a penny today
Just laying on the ground.
But its not just a penny
This little coin Ive found.
Found pennies come from
heaven
thats what my Grandpa told
me.
He said Angels tossed them
down
Oh, how I loved that story!
He said when an Angel
misses you
They toss a penny down,
sometimes just to cheer you
up
To make a smile out of your
frown.
So dont pass by that penny
When youre feeling blue.
It may be a penny from heaven
That an Angels tossed to you.

First PEDV vaccine licensed by USDA
By Mark Holtsberry
Education specialist
Paulding SWCD
The United States Department of Agricul-
tures Animal and Plant Inspection Service has
issued a conditional license to Harrisvaccines,
Inc. of Ames for a vaccine that may aid in the
control of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus
(PEDV) in swine.
This is the first licensed vaccine for PEDV.
It will be used to vaccinate sows with the in-
tent that they build antibody, and transmit that
antibody through their milk to newborn
piglets. It is intended to protect the piglets
against PEDV.
The animal and plant inspection service
supports and encourages the rapid develop-
ment of new vaccines, particularly in emer-
gency situations. When a company obtains a
conditional license they are able to bring an
important disease management tool to produc-
ers safely and quickly. Full licensing can occur
subsequently while producers get the products
they need to protect animal health.
Recently, this service announced the avail-
ability of $26.2 million in funding to combat
these diseases and issued a federal order re-
quiring the reporting of new detections of
PEDV and other new swine enteric corona
virus diseases to state animal health officials.
The federal order also requires that opera-
tions reporting these viruses work with their
veterinarian or USDA or state animal health
officials to develop and implement a reason-
able management plan to address the detected
virus and prevent its spread.
Plans will be based on industry recom-
mended best practices, and include disease
monitoring through testing and biosecurity
measures. These steps will help to reduce
virus shed in affected animals, prevent further
spread of the disease, and enable continued
movement of animals for production and pro-
cessing.
This task force aims to investigate the virus,
identify and trace risk factors in the transmis-
sion of the disease, and keep producers in-
formed.

County auditor receives CE award
PAULDING Paulding County Auditor
Claudia J. Fickel is a recipient of the Distin-
guished County Auditor award, presented by
the County Auditors Association of Ohio
(CAAO).
The award recognizes County Auditors who
have completed 100 or more hours of continuing
education during their term of office.
Fickel was recognized and received the award
from CAAO president George Kaitsa, Delaware
County Auditor, during the CAAO summer con-
ference in June. In recognizing this achievement
the CAAO notes that when one considers the
time commitments on county auditors in general,
it is truly an accomplishment for a county auditor
to have over 100 hours of credit.
Section 319.04 of the Ohio Revised Code re-
quires county auditors to complete at least 24
hours of continuing education during their term
of office. Fickel obtained her training in topics
such as Recent Trends in Real Property Valua-
tion, Financial Audits, Budget Commission and
Tax Levies, and two mandatory classes in ethics
and substance abuse.

HOMESPUN
By
JIM LANGHAM
The magic of intergenerational connections
There was a lady in the
small village where I was
raised by the name of Sadie
Snow. Sadie was one of my
grandmothers best friends.
By the time I met her as a
young child, she was nearly
90-years old. She lived in the
family home on the next cor-
ner down from us. She kept
hardtack candy in Ball jars
and when my grandma and I
walked down to visit her, she
always told me that I could
have as much candy as I
could grab in one handful.
As small as my hands were
at that young age, it was
amazing how many pieces of
candy they could pull out of
that special jar as Sadie and
Grandma laughed at my ef-
forts.
These days, I occasionally
visit Sadies grave in a ceme-
tery named after her family,
the Snow Cemetery. But I
look at her life in a different
perspective.
She died at age 93, in the
early 1950s. So she was actu-
ally alive during the Civil
War and lived during the
presidency of Abraham Lin-
coln. She was alive on the
earth when he was assassi-
nated.
She also lived during sev-
eral other wars including
World War I, World War II
and was alive into the Korean
Conflict. She saw the roaring
20s, the Great Depression and
lived through the establish-
ment of several of our coun-
trys states.
Her husband was famous
for many of the early actions
in establishing my home
county (Adams County, Indi-
ana) and actually wrote one
of the most noted histories of
our county, Snows History
of Adams County.
She spent at least half of
her life without electricity
and riding in a horse and
buggy. One of the most
meaningful things to me was
that she was personal friends
with my favorite author, Gene
Stratton-Porter, who lived in
my home area and was
known for her nationwide
publications of life in the
Limberlost Swamp.
The older I become, the
more I am fascinated by the
matter of intergenerational
connections. Here I am, age
66, living in 2014, but I knew
a lady, my grandmas dear
friend, that had lived just less
than half of her life in the
19th century, linking with
Abraham Lincoln and the
Civil War.
The older I get, the more
interconnected I feel with his-
tory and the future at the
same time. I interviewed a
lady recently who was 99
years old and could vividly
talk about the Depression in
Toledo and a diphtheria out-
break that killed many school
children in that area in the
late 1920s and early 1930s.
Then I look at our grand-
daughter, Kirsten, now age
three and a half, who could
conceivably live through a
good portion of this century,
and possibly in the early
years of the next.
I find myself wondering as
she ages, will she look back
at pictures of her grandpar-
ents and realize the intergen-
erational connections of her
grandparents and family?
Will she realize that when she
sat on her grandpas lap that
she was actually sitting on the
lap of one of who touched the
hands of another who had
lived two hundred years be-
fore her at that time?
These days I love the link-
age of generations, actually a
connected chain of the human
race passing on family her-
itage, religious faith, new
ideas, creativity and human
love to one another.
From Sadie Snow to
Kirsten, each day I am more
mystically amazed at the
links of human life, Gods
beloved chain from creation
to Heaven.
Commissioners Journal
Commissioners Journal June 18, 2014
This 18th day of June, 2014, the Board of County Com-
missioners met in regular session with the following mem-
bers present: Tony Zartman, Roy Klopfenstein, and Nola
Ginter, Clerk. Absent: Fred Pieper.
MEETING NOTES OF APPOINTMENTS
Putnam County Commissioner Vince Schroeder met with
the commissioners for a Joint Ditch Assessment. There was
not a quorum, so the meeting will be rescheduled.
County Treasurer Lou Ann Wannemacher presented fi-
nancial reports for period ending May 31, 2014. Included in
this report package are: Total Dollars Invested, Investment
Interest with monthly totals, and Permissive Sales and Use
Tax.
The amount of interest earned is 65% of the total esti-
mated for the year. June sales tax was up $12,201.61 from
May. Motor Vehicle Tax payments continue to be strong.
Wannemacher reported the tax bills were mailed last week
and several people have already come in to pay.
County Auditor Claudia Fickel met with the commission-
ers to review the June 18, 2014, Sales Tax Revenue, the Gen-
eral Fund Receipts, and the General Fund Expenses reports.
She also provided the Summary Fund Report for the com-
missioners review.
Sales tax for the first half of 2014 was up by $286.20 from
the same time period in 2013 and up from the four-year av-
erage by $58,447.42. The General Fund Receipts for May
were up significantly from April, due to several pay-ins oc-
curring in May and not April. General Fund Expenses were
down from the month of April.
The cash balance in the General Fund is up from last year
on this date.
Fickel had an agreement from Plattenburg (state audit
subcontractor) for the commissioners signature.
Aaron Timm, Engineers Office - The commissioners dis-
cussed signage for the county parking lot. They also ex-
pressed their appreciation for Mr. Timms involvement in the
recent 4-H livestock auction/sale at the Paulding County Fair.
Timm discussed the demolition of a couple of the live-
stock buildings at the fairgrounds and stated the work would
begin after the Flat Rock Creek Festival this fall.
The county parking lot project contract with Ward Con-
struction will be completed this week and sent to the Pauld-
ing Village office for their attorneys approval.
Pam White met with the commissioners to discuss the
livestock auction at the Paulding County Fair. She is on the
senior fair board and volunteered to assist with the auction.
She commented the auction went well and she loved working
with the Jr. Fair Board and the 4-H youth.

Exchange students seek
host families in Paulding

PAULDING Visiting high school students, ages 15-18,
from around the world including Germany, Spain, Switzerland,
and Thailand are seeking host families in and around Paulding
for the upcoming 2014-2015 academic school year. Host fam-
ilies are needed for the fall semester and full school year.
Host families (traditional families, singles, empty nesters,
etc.) serve as mentors and a home base for their student. Vis-
iting students participate as active members of the family and
integrate into their hosts daily routines and traditions just like
any other family member. Hosting an international student is
a great way to explore a new culture and promote a sense of
lifelong learning and adventure.
To learn more about how to make the dream come true for
an international high school exchange student, contact Ohio
representative Joe Bissell at j.bissell@international-experi-
ence.net, or by calling 517-388-8948. Host families may re-
view prospective student profiles online at iE-USA.org.
Families interested in hosting this year must apply by Aug. 15.
Steve Clark benefit seeks support
By JAROD ROSEBROCK
Correspondent
PAULDING The Paulding
Eagles will be the site of a ben-
efit for Paulding resident Steve
Spock Clark on July 19 start-
ing at 5 p.m. Bernadette Ben-
nett, one of the organizers of the
event, says that those who at-
tend the benefit can expect a
great time of food, drinks,
music, raffles and an auction,
and many other fun events.
Clark has been diagnosed
with stage four lung cancer, and
Bennett along with many of his
friends and family are organiz-
ing the benefit to help pay for
medical expenses, bills, travel
expenses and other costs.
In addition to dinner prepared
by the Ladies Auxiliary, beer
and music, there will be items
being raffled off and auctioned
throughout the night. Items are
still being collected, with some
items going to the raffle and the
biggest items going to the auc-
tion.
Some of these raffle/auction
items include an oversized
wooden outside locker, Vera
Bradley and Thirty One bags, a
fishing charter on Lake Erie, a
ceiling fan, a shop vac, an out-
door rocking chair, tools, golfing
items, and art by Thomas
Kinkade.
There will be 50/50 raffle
tickets sold throughout the night,
and organizers have planned a
Spock Impersonation compe-
tition in which all of Clarks
friends can have fun imperson-
ating him as part of a contest.
The benefit will be an indoor
and outdoor event. The Eagles
facility will be open and a tent
will be set up outside. There will
also be T-shirts and can cozies
available for purchase. The T-
shirts are already being sold and
can be purchased at the Paulding
Red Angel restaurant or by con-
tacting Bennett.
Bennett and Clarks family
and friends are continuously
working to raise money for
Clarks medical expenses. Every
Thursday, they have a bake sale,
T-shirt sale, can cozie sale and
raffle at the Paulding Eagles
from 6-9 p.m. during karaoke.
They are also looking for dona-
tions from businesses and indi-
viduals for Clark or for the
event. Bennett says they have
collected quite a bit of money,
but they still have a lot to do in
the short time they have left.
Anyone looking for more in-
formation or those wanting to
donate to the cause can contact
Bennett at 419-796-8571 or
bernadettebennett@wind-
stream.net. Other organizers to
contact include Robin Dobbe-
laere or Robin Eagleson.

Dog kennel distributes
reading incentives
PAULDING The Pauld-
ing County Dog Kennel is
distributing Paws to Read
incentives to the first 10 peo-
ple who adopt dogs from the
kennel beginning June 30.
The incentives are part of
the Paulding County
Carnegie Library Paws to
Read adult summer reading
program and include a ban-
dana for the dog, a flying
disk, book bag and informa-
tive brochures about disaster
preparedness for your dogs. It
also includes a list of books
on dog care available in the
library collection.
According to Vicky Hull,
head of adult services at the
library and also the summer
reading program coordinator,
We thought providing these
items would be a fun way to
thank the Paulding County
Dog Kennel for their out-
standing service of trying to
find forever homes for kennel
residents. All adults are also
invited to stop by the library
in Paulding and sign up for
this reading program.
For more information about
the reading program or the li-
brary, call 419-399-2032 or visit
the webpage at www.paulding-
countylibrary.org or www.face-
book.com/pauldingcountylibrary
Paulding County Dog Kennel and Paulding County Carnegie
Library are teaming up to promote summer reading and dog
adoption. Above are Dog Warden Mark Rassman and Rex, who
is proudly wearing a library Paws to Read bandana, with Vicky

Antwerp school board
active during the summer
By JOE SHOUSE
ANTWERP The Antwerp Local School
Board met in regular session last Wednesday,
June 25. The purchase of a new school bus and
van was finalized, the 2014-15 school calen-
dar was presented, personnel items were re-
ceived, and a brief tour of the virtual academy
was given.
The new school bus was purchased $79,499
and the nine-passenger van for $39,731. Both
vehicles were purchased from Cardinal. The
school also traded in a van and three buses.
In a recent bus inspection, the nine-vehicle
bus fleet passed inspection and will be ready
to roll in the fall.
The treasurers report for May was reported
with receipts totaling $482,418.73 and ex-
penses being $637,293.44. District treasurer
Krintine Stuart reported the interest earned for
May was $1,923.81.
The school calendar for 2014-15 was re-
leased with the first day of classes beginning
Aug. 19. Graduation is scheduled for May 17
with the last day of school for students, May
20.
In the absence of elementary school princi-
pal Tim Manz, high school/middle school
principal Mike Bute reported that two student
conferences will be held during the coming
school year. In the past there was one confer-
ence in the fall. This year a conference will be
scheduled for the fall and spring.
The virtual academy is a modern classroom
area where students have opportunity to experi-
ence a college classroom setting while using the
latest in computer technology.
Andrea Newell, marching band director ap-
proached the board seeking approval of the dates
for the traditional Florida trip in the spring of
2015. The band and choir make the trip every
four years. Newell said 45 students plan to make
the trip scheduled for April 20-25, 2015. The
board will vote on the trip at its next meeting but
gave an informal go-ahead for the trip.
Superintendent Patricia Ross reported the
fees for K-grade five will remain at $65. The
fees are used to purchase the various materials
students use throughout the tear.

By JOE SHOUSE
PAULDING Straight A
grant funds totaling over
$500,000 to purchase comput-
ers and computer related

morial Fund was created. The
funds were placed in the gen-
eral fund in her name but was
later denied by the Auditor of
the State. Funds of that nature
can not be placed in the general

its own fund name.

rial Fund was rescinded and the
Panther Pride Capital Improve-
ments Fund and the Panther
Pride Scholarship Fund was
approved.

mously approved: $313,088.75

fi wiring; $25,039 Wi-fi;

prices, school lunches have
been increased 10 cents.
The board approved the mo-
tion to review the districts
property, fleet and liability in-
surance coverage through the
Southwestern Ohio Educa-
tional Purchasing Council.
Total cost for insurance for the
period of July 1, 2014 through
July 1, 2015 is $70,127.
The motion was approved to
accept the Computer Services
Agreement with Northwest
Ohio Area Computer Services
Cooperative for fiscal year
2015.

cation from Herbert E. Orr

Paulding shuts out Hicksville in ACME sectional
A strong Defiance team stops Paulding 12-5
By JOE SHOUSE
In the double elimination
ACME baseball tournament,
Paulding managed to split
their first two games over the
weekend to remain alive in
their quest to advance. On
opening night of the District
1 sectional tournament,
Paulding defeated Hicksville
5-0 to advance in the winners
bracket.
On Saturday, the host Bull-
dogs from Defiance growled
past Paulding, 12-5. The top
two teams in the Defiance
sectional will advance auto-
matically to district action.
Standing at 19-4, Defiance
will be one of two teams ad-
vancing. The second team
making their way to the next
round will be the winner of
the Fairview and Paulding
game scheduled for Tuesday.
Both teams have one loss
each. Fairview managed to
stay alive with a 5-1 win over
Hicksville in the losers
bracket.
Following the 5-0 shut-out
win that Paulding put on
Hicksville, Defiance topped
Fairview, 13-1.
Damon Egnor went the dis-
tance for Paulding in their
opener. Delivering seven in-
nings of shut-out baseball, the
Paulding hurler gave up just
four hits while fanning 14 and
walking three.
Paulding opened up with a
slim 1-0 advantage in the
third inning and then tacked
on another run in the fifth
when Lupe Martinez laid
down a bunt to score James
Mourey.
Paulding continued to hold
the upper hand with three
runs in the top of the seventh.
The big blast came when Tre-
ston Gonzales doubled to
score two runs. Paulding also
got two singles from Alex
Estrada.

Defiance totaled three runs
in the second inning and then
came back with three more
runs in the third to take com-
mand of their game on Sun-
day against Paulding. The
Panthers managed to close
the gap to 6-5 when they
scored three runs in the top of
the fifth, but the Bulldogs an-
swered with six runs in the
bottom of the fifth to secure
the win.
For Paulding, a throwing
errors and a couple of balks
combined with some timely
hitting by the Bulldogs put
the Panthers in a deep hole
early. Trailing 6-1, the Pan-
thers made their comeback in
the fourth inning when Jarrett
Sitton crossed home plate on
a Bulldog wild pitch by
pitcher Michael Hendricks.
The huge fifth inning when
the Panthers scored three runs
started when Hendricks
walked a couple of Panthers.
Sitton answered with an RBI
single to move Paulding a lit-
tle closer, trailing 6-3. Abram
Smith came on in relief and
quickly delivered a wild pitch
allowing two runs to score to
pull the visitors to within one
at 6-5.
Paulding, who falls to 9-7
on the year, could not get
over the hump. The six-run
fifth inning for Defiance
came on six hits scattered
throughout the infield includ-
ing a couple of successful
bunt singles.
Treston Gonzales picked
up the loss for the Panthers.
Gonzales went just three in-
nings, giving up six runs, six
hits and three walks. Also
pitching for the Panthers in
relief were Lupe Martinez
and Preston Johanns.
Paulding and Fairview
have played several times
during the summer. The 12-3
Apaches have had their way
with Paulding winning four
times in head-to-head
matchups.

Jarrett Sitton slides into second base for a double in Pauldings game against Defiance on
Sunday. Sitton also had a single in the contest, but it was the Bulldogs prevailing 12-5 in the
ACME baseball matchup.
Damon Egnor was the winning pitcher for the Paulding ACME baseball team last Saturday. The Panthers defeated Hicksville 5-0 with
Egnor going the distance for the shut-out win. Egnor had a solid performance giving up just four hits while striking out 14.
Paulding pitcher Treston Gonzales delivers a pitch in the
ACME baseball game against Defiance last Sunday. Gonzalez
pitched three innings, giving up six runs on six hits, four walks.
Defiance won the game 12-5.

Succulents to grow inside and out
You may have heard it said
that all cacti are succulents,
but not all succulents are
cacti. The world of succulents
is so diverse that even if you
dont like cacti, theres sure to
be a succulent you do.
In order to be called a suc-
culent, a plant has to store
more than the average
amount of water in its tissues.
This allows it to survive in
hot and dry locations for long
periods without rain or sup-
plemental watering.
Generally, succulents have
a very architectural form,
which in addition to low care,
adds to their appeal for many
people. In fact, succulents
have been known to capture
the attention of even non-gar-
deners due to their varied
shapes, colors and other
quirky characteristics.
Right now, succulents are
enjoying their popularity as
houseplants. Many of them
are conversation pieces that
are living, yet dont require
much in the way of care from
their owners. Who hasnt
grown a jade plant at one
point in their life?
Most succulents are not
winter hardy for us here in
Zone 5b/6a, meaning theyll
either need to be grown as a
houseplant at least during the
winter, or be treated as an an-
nual. But there are quite a few
succulents that do survive the
cold and I cant imagine my
own garden without them.
Youll want to keep the lo-
cation in mind when planting
hardy succulents in your gar-
den though. They dont much
like winter wet, so wherever
you plant them try to make
sure they have good drainage.
Some will protest soggy soil
more than others, but remem-
bering that they were de-
signed to thrive in hot dry
conditions will help you site
them appropriately.
Sempervivums. You may
know them as hens and
chicks. Growing these as a
ground cover is just about the
easiest thing you can do in the
garden. While they do have
roots, sometimes its not even
necessary to properly plant
them in order for them to root
down and become estab-
lished.
Like most succulents,
theyre shallow-rooted to
allow them better access to
any available moisture, even
the superficial morning dew.
They require a minimum of
soil to survive and are espe-
cially well suited for rock
gardens and difficult dry
spots.
Sedums. Last week I sang
their praises and Im still
singing them. There are tall
sedums like Autumn Joy,
Autumn Fire and Matrona.
There are creeping sedums
that make great groundcovers
like Dragons Blood,
Voodoo and Angelina. In
fact, there are more than 400
species of sedums and were
fortunate to be able to find
many of them and grow them
here.
Ice plants. Botanically
known as Delosperma, ice
plants are a ground cover and
some of them have some
pretty fabulous blooms. A
newer variety, Firespinner,
has magenta, orange, and
white tricolor blooms that
will stop you dead in your
tracks if you come across it in
full flowering mode. That
said, even though I know gar-
deners who grow ice plants
beautifully and with no effort,
I just cant seem to make a go
of them.
Some of my very favorite
succulents are aloes and
agaves. Of course, I have to
take them in for the winter,
but they make excellent
houseplants and the eclectic
look they give to my summer
gardens makes them worth
the extra effort.
If you happen to drive
through Edgerton, Ind., right
now, be sure to notice the
rather large clump of Eastern
prickly pear cactus thats
blooming in glorious sun-
shiny yellow as you round the
curve just to the west of the
pink church. Guess what? Its
a native Ohio wildflower. No
kidding.

Eastern prickly pear cactus (Opuntia humifusa) is an Ohio native that blooms in late June/early
July. Its large yellow flowers attract many pollinators, such as bumblebees, carpenter bees, and
leafcutter bees.
