2,300 sandbags used to fight flooding

By JIM LANGHAM
Feature Writer
Sarah Noggle, Ohio State University
Extension educator, noted late Monday
that the local EMA had placed 2,300 sandbags in county communities as a result of
rains that once again dumped on Paulding
County late last week and over the weekend.
She said that sandbags were first sent to
the Payne area where more serious flooding started on Saturday. On Saturday, there
were 31 volunteers in the Payne area. In
Paulding, 42 volunteers were filling sandbags at any given time.
Noggle said she had received various
rainfall reports from area farmers, but totals of 6-8 inches between Thursday night
and late Saturday were quite common.

Some farmers had recorded as much as 11
inches total for last week alone, she said.
For June, monthly totals ranged as high as
17 inches in some parts of the county.
Ive lived in Paulding County all my
life and I dont ever recall seeing anything
like this, said Noggle. This is a bad year,
a stressful year for farmers and their families. We dont have control of this.
When there are tough times like this, I
have always thought of my parents, continued Noggle. Now the whole county is
my heart and I think of all of our people
who are suffering through this. People are
still alive. This is not what we planned, but
we will get through this.
Crop-wise, Noggle is really concerned
about the developing wheat crop, which

would normally be harvested during the
first half of July. These days, she is fearful
of vomitoxin, lost test weight and sprouting of heads.
Sprouting becomes an issue when
things become this wet, said Noggle.
Things to look for as symptoms of
sprouting include visible sprouting, cracking seed coat and color of the plant. There
will be chemical changes in the wheat
head before the sprouting.
It is the enzyme in the seed that converts starch into sugar, continued Noggle.
You get your test weight for wheat determined by sugar turned into energy. You
cant mill that into flour for bread if there is
a problem. I still see a few fields of wheat
where something may come out of them.

Noggle said that she is equally concerned about beans that have stood in water so long.
Im very worried about beans getting
sudden death syndrome, noted Noggle.
Many of them are dying with each rain
event.
She noted that with corn, stages are so
spread out due to a lack of nitrogen. A lot
of corn that was looking pretty decent
is goose-necking and laying on its side,
affected by the direction of the ponding of
water.
For updated and continued information,
Noggle suggested that area farmers continue to monitor the OSU CORN Newsletter
site or agcrop.osu.edu.

PAYNE Payne resident
Anna Harshman is nearing the
23rd year from the time that
she moved into her house located along Ohio 500 between
the road and Flat Rock Creek
on the northeast side of Payne.
In spite of her close location to
the creek, Harshman had never
been troubled by the waters until
early this past Sunday morning.
Still, the creek was rising rapidly and was getting close to her
home. Neighbors and family
members continued their check
on her well into the night.
At 3 a.m. everything looked
okay, recalled Harshman.
Forty-five minutes later, just
that quick, they were telling me
they had to get me out of the
house. In that short of a time,
there was two or three inches of
water on my bedroom floor and
water was coming in fast.
The next few hours were a
stunning nightmare to Harshman. She was rushed out of the
home by the Payne Volunteer
Fire Department, which had
been on around-the-clock duty
since flood waters started to

invade their town on Saturday
afternoon.
While Harshman was transported to a daughters home in
Paulding, fire department volunteers and other volunteers
from the Payne area waded
through water that quickly rose
to 16 inches, damaging a large
amount of furniture, destroyed
many of her family heirlooms

and pictures, and causing severe
damage to a floor that had just
been replaced.
They tried to get the antique
stuff out and put things on cement blocks but that didnt help
because the water rose higher
than the blocks. We had just put
in new floors and repainted the
entire house, said Harshman.

The week before we had put
out 13.5 tons of sand to stop that
flood. I am so thankful for my
family and all that helped.
This is the worst flooding
I ever recall in Payne, added
Harshman.

The Paulding County commissioners issued the following

proclamation on Monday afternoon, June 29:
STATE OF EMERGENCY
DECLARATION OF
DISASTER
The Paulding County Emergency Management Agency,
along with the Paulding County
Commissioners, has proclaimed
a Statement of Emergency/Declaration of Disaster for Paulding
County after back to back floods
have taken place in the County. As a result of record-breaking rain fall during the month
of June, two separate flooding
situations were created a week
apart. Flood waters were at near
record levels in some places of
the County, causing a number
of Paulding County residents to
evacuate their homes; and has
also resulted in several road closures and performing a number
of water rescues of stranded motorists.
Now therefore, We, the
Paulding County Commissioners of Paulding County, Ohio,
are proclaiming a Statement of
Emergency/Declaration of Disaster for Paulding County.
PEVS board extends

superintendents contract
By SAMANTHA HABERN
Correspondent
PAULDING The Paulding Exempted
Village School board met Monday, June
29, hearing concerns about changes to the
autism unit, extended the superintendents
contract and watching presentation of a state
science trophy.
Prior to the regular session, a brief public
meeting was held to discuss the retire and
rehire of Karen Schlatter. There were about
12 to 13 applicants for the open position, in-
cluding Schlatter, some of which were from

outside the district. Superintendent William
Hanak said Schlatter was picked due to the
recommendations of two principals. A parent added that shes amazing. The resolution to hire her will be presented in the July
meeting.
Following an executive session at the end
of the meeting, the board approved two personnel measures, neither of which were on
Mondays agenda.
An extended three-year contract for
Hanak for Aug. 1, 2016 through July 31,

2019 was passed with a split vote. Voting in
favor were Robert Burkley, Mark Manz and
Greg Reinhart; Clint Vance voted no; board
president James Foltz abstained.
In the second matter, Lori Gunderman
was hired as EMIS coordinator/assistant
treasurer, effective Aug. 1.
Three parents and three aides came to the
board with concerns about reported plans for

Church buys Kiwanis building

By JOE SHOUSE
Progress Staff Writer
PAULDING After meeting in the
Paulding High School auditeria since its
beginning in March 2013, the Branch
Christian Fellowship Church has found a
permanent home.
Through a series of contacts and conversations the church will relocate to the
square in downtown Paulding specifically the Kiwanis Community Building
located at 103 N. Main St. on the square.
According to Pastor Greg Cramer, the
church had been looking to relocate for
the past several months and after looking
at six or seven existing properties, nothing seemed appropriate in meeting their
needs.
A small group of pastors meet at Susies Bakery for Bible study and during
one of our get-togethers, Pastor Dave
Meriwether asked me how the hunt for
a new building was going. I shared with
him that so far nothing looked that promising, commented Cramer.
It was at that point, Meriwether asked,
Why dont you buy the old Armory?
Cramer was unaware that it was for

sale and Meriwether went on to say that it
could be. It was at that point that the ball
started to roll more seriously and Cramer
approached Kiwanis president Erika Wilitzer.
I talked to Erika, then toured the facility and expressed interest in a possible
purchase. After talking to leaders from
both parties an agreement was made to
purchase the building, said Cramer.
The church will lease the building to
the Kiwanis in order for them to continue
to meet at the facility.
This is a win-win situation for both
the Kiwanis Club as well as our church.
They (Kiwanis) will continue to meet
here without the responsibility to care
and upkeep and we have a facility for our
church, said Cramer.
The church, with a membership of 70,
started with just 14 attenders in the basement of Pastor Cramers home. A church
plant of the Family Christian Center of
Defiance, the church has met at Paulding
High School and have outgrown the facility they have been renting since 2013.
The school has been so accommodating. In a way its going to be hard to leave.
Yes, we had to set up and tear down every
Sunday and we certainly wont miss that
part of it, but renting from the school allowed them extra dollars for their budget.
Our church considered it a real blessing to
be able to use the school facility and at the
same time give towards their budget.
Branch Christian Fellowship is looking
forward to their first Sunday service on
the square but until then Cramer and the
congregation has work to do in order to
make the new building into a church facility.
We know there are several issues that
we will need to address and we have a
plan in place as we update the building,
Cramer said. We have already put a
plan in place with an outside coordinator
working on the exterior and one serving
as the inside coordinator. We plan to do
as much of the work as possible.
We feel like we are in a perfect location and although it will cost money
for the upgrades, it will be cheaper than
building a new facility, he added.

Trade Days set for Grover Hill
By JOE SHOUSE
GROVER HILL The West Branch Conservation Club in Grover Hill will host the fifth annual Trade Days on July 10-11 at Grover Hill Park.
Always held the second weekend in July, this
years event promises to be bigger and better than
ever.
Trade days has something for everyone. People bring all kinds of items to trade. Everyone has
a good time and its a great time to make friends
and enjoy the outdoors, said Landall Hinchcliff,
trade days coordinator.
The two-day show offers free admission and
primitive camping for a small rental fee of $10 for
three days.
On Saturday, the conservation club will have
a hog roast beginning at noon. Besides the hog,
there will be hamburgers and hot dogs available.

autism unit to combine with the
multi-handicap classes.
Marie Shrider, who spoke for
the group, stated that the autistic
students are very special and
unique, and that they need
their safe haven separate from
other students. She was concerned for the possible impact
on the autistic students quality
of education.
Shrider said most other students do not understand how to
handle their autistic classmates
when they get upset. In fact, the
two groups were together before, but were separated due to
acknowledgement that autistic
students had special needs. The
autism unit was started about
12 years ago with help from the
Lions Club.
Dr. Steve McConoughey,
Ph.D, CEO of the Ohio Academy of Science, presented a trophy to the Paulding High School
for the Harold C. Shaw Outstanding School Award at the
State Science Day 2015, which
Mrs. LeeAnn Favorito and two
students accepted.
Dr. McConoughey stated that
only 11 out of 320 schools (or 3
percent) qualify for the award.
Mrs. Favorito stated that the
students do all the work, and
thanked the faculty and parents
for the support.
There was a moment of silence held for the Skyler Huth
family.
The board unanimously
passed a resolution authorizing
the superintendent, on behalf of
the board, to enter into agreements regarding discipline of
employees. This includes any
last chance agreements, provided they do not result in an

employees termination or other
separation form employment.
The resolution will remain in
effect until withdrawn by formal
action of the board.
Dr. Joseph Kuhn was acknowledged for performing 123
student athletic physicals.
Hanak reported that for the
year, there were 10 bullying
incidents reported: two in high
school, four in the Paulding Elementary, four in the Oakwood
Elementary, and none in middle
school.
The First Christian Church
Mens Group donated $250 for
the No Kid Goes Hungry lunch
account.
The board approved the following resolutions:

Weather specialist Rick McCoy, Van Wert, said Monday
night that in his many years of
weather service, including with
Channel 15 in Fort Wayne, he
had never seen a June that has
touched this month in rainfall.
McCoy noted that in Van
Wert County, the city of Van
Wert has measured 13.5 inches
of rain for the month and that
is one of the lower totals in the
county. Area-wide, McCoy said
that parts of his county near
Paulding County have received
17-18 inches, as has the southern
part of his county.
The weather expert noted that
reports from near Five Span,
in the eastern part of Paulding
County reported upwards from
11 inches of rain last week with
the rest of the county receiving
8-10 inches of rainfall last week.
I wish I could be a bearer of
good tidings and say that this is

soon coming to an end, but Im
afraid the pattern doesnt lend itself that way right now, continued McCoy.
McCoy noted that the extended forecast through July 13 is for
below-normal temperatures and
continued above-normal precipitation.
The average high for July is 86
degrees.
We have got to get some sunshine and degree days to even
have hope with any crops at this
point, said McCoy. What is
happening out there in our fields
is an incredible disaster.
McCoy said he talks to National Weather Service forecasters at
Syracuse, Ind. (our central station)
on nearly a daily basis. They told
him that a meteorologist in Wilmington, Ohio, had been studying
the current El Nino pattern forming in the eastern Pacific.
He had predicted in early
May that there would be an incredible amount of moisture fall

near the end of May and in June,
said McCoy. He has been right
on so far. Unfortunately, he feels
that much heavier than normal
rainfall amounts will continue
through July.
McCoy said that in the immediate future, over the next few
days, rain is expected to become
more scattered with temperatures
escalating into the low 80s for Independence Day weekend.
Another contributing factor
to the heavy rain has been a persistent stationary front across
the Great Lakes region that the
National Weather Service is
now calling the Great Lakes
Trough. McCoy said that low
pressures form on that front and
slide across the area causing an
outbreak of heavy thunderstorms.
That pattern is not expected to
break up in the near future, McCoy said.

Volunteers filled sandbags at the county engineers garage on Saturday. Superintendent Aaron
Timm said sandbags were being used around the county, including Antwerp, Payne and Paulding
and some rural areas. By 1 p.m. Saturday, about 800 of the 40-pound bags had been filled. By
Monday, more than 2,300 bags had been distributed.

cream. The youth group from the Pioneer Church

will also have a bake sale.
When it comes to trading, there will be guns,
antiques, tools, crafts, odds and ends of all kinds,
and even small animals just to name a few that
will be made available for trade.
There will be a variety of items, but this year
we will not allow any poultry on the grounds for
trade. With the bird flu concern, we have decided
to eliminate poultry altogether, said Hinchcliff.
Other activities include kids bingo at 7 p.m. on
Friday night and a horseshoe tournament starting
at 10 a.m. Saturday morning. All weekend will
feature 50/50 raffles.
For those who enjoy the slower pace, a catfish
derby is scheduled all day Friday and Saturday.
For those who have never attended trade days,
they need to come out and see what its all about.
The food is great and the atmosphere is pleasant.
I think people will be pleasantly surprised once
they arrive at the park, concluded Hinchcliff.

Rock Creek along Emerald Road, but on Sunday afternoon the
creek had expanded to nearby yards, streets and school property. Photo courtesy Kris Blair. For additional photos of area flooding, visit our website at www.progressnewspaper.org.
Harshmans home was not the

only one affected by flooding.
By early Saturday afternoon, as
heavy rain from a stationary low
continued to pound the county,
flooding on West Merrin Street
started rushing into yards and
reach door steps. By 3:15 p.m.,
major flooding was occurring
near several homes. Emergency
sandbag material was rushed
to Payne by EMA officials and
Payne firefighters and rescue
workers began building walls
around the affected houses.
Some homes had a few inches
of water seep in overnight on
Saturday. The biggest surprise,
however, was the rapidly rising Flat Rock that poured onto
South Main Street, surrounding
at least eight houses and forcing
officials to close Ohio 49 in the
south half of Payne. Closures
were placed on Ohio 49 and
Ohio 500 as well.
By Monday morning, water
had crested in Payne and the
Flat Rock Creek had started to
recede. However, several streets
in Paulding, especially near Flat
Rock Creek remained covered.
Emergency Management director Ed Bohn noted that officials
continued to monitor the rising
Flat Rock Creek in the Paulding
area and that a number of homes

had been sandbagged, especially
in the area of Emerald Road,
Flat Rock Road and Jackson
Street.
As a precaution, members of
the Paulding Volunteer Fire Department were deploying a bladder barrier behind the Paulding
Library in order to preserve use
of sandbags in other areas, said
Bohn.
Bohn noted that as of Monday
afternoon, the Auglaize River
in Oakwood had risen to 23.53
feet, higher than the level of 23.3
feet that occurred in last weeks
flood.

America, land of many paradoxes

People
Make the Difference
By
Byron McNutt
There were 56 men who
signed the Declaration. Ben
Franklin was the oldest at 70.
The youngest was Edward
Rutledge who was 26.
There is a widely published
essay about what happened
to the 56 men who signed the
Declaration. It tells about
the hardships they suffered.
It says some were captured
as prisoners of war while actively engaged in military operations. It says their homes
and property were occupied,
ransacked, looted, burnedand
vandalized.
Historians say much of
the legend is true, but many
parts of the story have been
embellished. What happened
to them was a common part
of warfare. Nine of the signers
did die during the revolutionary war, but none died from
wounds or hardships inflicted.
While were all proud to be
Americans, what that means
to each of us can be significantly different. The system
we live under isnt perfect, but
the second-best system isnt
worth considering.
Life today is full of contradictions. The more we have,

the less we appreciate those
gifts. The following essay is
intended to make you think. It
was submitted by a reader of
this paper many years ago.
Today we have higher
buildings and wider highways,
but shorter temperaments and
narrower points of view.

We spend more, but buy
less and enjoy it less. We have
bigger houses, but smaller
families.
We have more compromises, but less time. We have
more knowledge, but less
judgment. We have more medicines, but poorer health.
We have multiplied our
possessions, but reduced our
values. We talk too much, love
too little and hate too much.
We reached the moon and
came back, but we find it
troublesome to cross our own
street and meet our neighbors.
These are times with more
liberty, but less joy; with much
more food, but with less nutrition and more world hunger.
(More people die of over-eating than die of hunger.)
Household income has
soared, but the number of divorces have increased. We
have finer houses, but more
broken homes.
Thats why I propose that
as of today:
You do not keep anything
for a special occasion, because
every day that you live is a
special occasion.
Search for knowledge,
read more, sit on your front
porch and admire the view
without paying attention to the
needs.
Pass more time with your
family, eat your favorite foods,
visit the places you love.
Life is a chain of moments
of enjoyment. It isnt only survival.
Use your crystal goblets
everyday. Do not save your
best perfume, and use it every
time you feel you want it.
Take out from the vocabulary phrases like one of these
days and some day. Lets

Weather report weekly summary as recorded at Paulding Villages water

treatment plant
We are officially in the summer months now. We have

had a few cool nights, with
the temperature in the 50s by
morning. Sure makes for good
sleeping after some hot evenings with temperature in the
80s. Actually, this morning
we had to close most of our
windows. The thermometer
showed 54 degrees. Not really
normal June temperatures.
Yesterday we canned 45
quarts of rhubarb juice from
30 pounds of rhubarb. Our
friend Barb and my sisters
Verena and Susan gave us the
rhubarb. I have rhubarb plants,
but never enough to make a
years supply of rhubarb juice.
I think the children have already emptied two gallons of
it! Rhubarb juice is a good
thirst-quencher on hot days.
Joseph, 12, and Kevin, 9,
were tilling and weeding the
garden, so they wanted rhubarb juice when they took a
break. Joseph is a good gardener and seems to take an interest in caring for the garden.
Verena, 17, keeps my flowers watered, and they are looking very healthy. If it is left to
me to water them, they usually die of thirst. I can make
things grow in the garden, but
flowers dont seem to do well
for me. I love flowers, so I am
glad someone has taken over
the duty to care for them!
My husband, Joe, brought
in our first hot peppers from
the garden tonight. Our tomato plants are loaded with
tomatoes, and everything else
looks like it is doing great.
We are all done with work
for the evening. Im sitting out
here on the porch writing this.
Its a very cool and peaceful
evening. Oh, the many blessings God gives us. We have so
much to be thankful for, and
so often we take it for granted.
Let us remember to thank our
wonderful God daily for all
our blessings.
This column was pushed off
until this evening, but I feel
like we accomplished a lot
today. The girls are cleaning
their closets and getting ready
to start some major cleaning in
the upstairs bedrooms.
Elizabeth is gradually packing the things she wont need
for now. She will move them
over to Timothys house for
after their wedding. It gives
me a sad feeling, but I dont

her. I remember the exciting
time of preparing for my wedding to Joe. With Gods help,
I will get used to my firstborn
leaving home to start her life
with her husband. Im sure a
lot of parents have dealt with
this feeling.
I think I will call it a night.
I was up until midnight last
night, waiting until the last of
the rhubarb juice was coldpacked. Our neighbor has
hooked our water over to solar power. It had previously
run by a propane motor. From
now on, the sun will power
our water! It seems different
to not hear the motor kick in
when the water pressure gets
low. Since the water was shut
off due to the switch, I had a
late start canning the juice, so
thats why it was so late until I
was done.
A reader shared this recipe
for green tomato bread with
me. She said her family likes
this bread better than zucchini bread. She grates her green
tomatoes in the fall and puts
them in the freezer to make
this in the winter months.

Independence Day,
commonly known as the
Fourth of July, commemorates the passage of the Declaration of Independence by the
Continental Congress on July
4, 1776. That was 239 years
ago this Saturday.
This weekend reminds us
that being an American offers
us incredible opportunities,
but it also places upon us responsibilities.
Many countries around the
world have walls and borders
to keep their people in. Yet, in
2014, 60 million people were
forced to flee their chaoticnative lands, according to the
United Nations. Americans
can leave almost at will. Were
more concerned with an orderly flow of immigrants.
America was built on the
ideals of the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights
and the Constitution. Even
the founders didnt agree on
everything, and they couldnt
foresee all the possible problems wed face.
The Declaration was drafted between June 11 and June
28 by Thomas Jefferson in
consultation with fellow committee members John Adams,
Ben Franklin, Roger Sherman
and William Livingston. The
Congress voted in favor of
the document on July 2, but
most historians believe it was
actually signed on August 2,
according to government archive records.
Many people believe the
Declaration of Independence
is the nations most cherished symbol of liberty and
Jeffersons most enduring
work. Jefferson expressed the
convictions in the minds and
hearts of the American people.
The political philosophy
was not new; its ideals of individual liberty had already
been expressed by John
Locke. Jefferson summarized
this philosophy in self-evident truths and set forth a list
of grievances against the King
of England.
Over the years, people were
drawn to celebrate on July 4
because two of the signers,
John Adams and Thomas Jefferson (both later serving as
presidents), died on July 4,
1826...the 50th anniversary of
the adoption of the Declaration. Another president, James
Monroe, died on July 4, 1831,
and Calvin Coolidge, was
born on July 4, 1872.

Lack of village
cooperation
irks resident
Dear Editor,
I would like to say something
about the cooperation my wife
and I have received from our
city officials.
One-and-a-half years ago,
they tore up my yard to fix a city
water leak. They promised to fix
our yard just like it was before.
That was a promise they filled
and this is how they fixed it.
I have a dirt mound 5 inches high, [they] put grass seed
and covered it with straw and
walked away and let it grow.
You cant mow it. Now I have a
lawn [with] a 5-inch mound with
grass about 12 inches high.
I went to a council meeting
and vented my feelings. I really
dont think anyone cares. I have
not heard from anyone.
To the public: Take a little drive to Bittersweet Drive
and see for yourself our city
at work. Remember, this is an
election year.

Dear Editor,
I would like to thank all
those who came to help sandbag at my residence on June
16-17:
Kauser Trucking for bringing 8-1/2 tons of sand afterhours on the 16th and the additional five tons again on the
17th;
The employees from Mercer Landmark who came on
the 17th;
The engineers office for the
sandbags;
The EMA director for coming numerous times to check
on the water situation;
A special thanks to my
children, grandchildren and
great-grandchildren
who
were worked from 9 a.m. until 2 a.m. on the 16th and then
returned at 9 a.m. on the 17th
and continued working until
the last sandbag was put in
place.
With all of your help, my

Grading scales:
Dont look for
an easy A
Response to Grading scale

Re-evaluation (Progress,
June 17)
Dear Editor and Owen,
It is important to view your
academics and grades highly,
especially as you enter your
high school and college years.
Your high school grades help
you get into college, and then
your college grades help you
get your degree. However, it
is not the grading scale that
facilitates the movement from
one level to the other, it the
quality of work you put into
your education.
It seems one of your concerns is the availability of
scholarships for Wayne Trace
students, given the tougher
grades. Being a recent graduate of Wayne Trace, I know
how it is. They do not have
the best availability of scholarships for seniors, but you do
not have to rely on the school
for everything. I received a
mere 3 percent of my scholarship money from ones the
guidance office told me about.
The bulk of them came from
me going out on my own and
searching for scholarships
granted from local foundations and the schools I was
interested in.
Yes, a lot do require appli-
cants to have a certain GPA,

but you would be surprised
how many do not. If you
choose to go into the military,
they will help you pay for
college. Certain employers
will even help finance continued education.
Furthermore, school is not
meant to be fun. I do concur
that it is where you attain a
great deal of memories, it can
even be fun at times, but it is
most certainly not made to
be fun. It is an establishment
of learning. I had a teacher in
junior high tell my class that.
Making the grading scale easier will not improve student
morale, scholarship availability, or the unemployment rate.
Sure, there may be a slight
rise in the Districts Grade
Card if they adopted a less
rigorous scale, but the only
thing that would say about the
school is that it is easier to get
an A with less work, which
is definitely not the board of
educations or the administrations goal.
Reward (grades, scholarships, employment, etc.) is
brought about through the
quality of work you produce,
and nothing else.
I have not always seen
eye-to-eye with Wayne Trace,
but on this matter they have
it right. The average grading scale for high school is
the 10-point scale you are
advocating, but the average
college grading scale is the
seven-point scale, which
Wayne Trace uses. Being accustomed to this grading scale
prepares you for college, and
even helps you through your
education. This grading scale
has been there since at least
1982, and the graduates since
then are living just fine.
Work hard for what you
want and be diligent, that is
what will get you where you
want to go, not looking for an
easy A or an easy anything,
for that matter.

Bargain Bin
serves as they
look to future
Dear Editor,

A year has passed since the officers and members of the Bargain Bin of Paulding County
were given an anonymous gift
by an unknown benefactor.
The request was that we would
take on the challenge of building a new building for the Bargain Bin. The present building
is far from being adequate for
our needs but we are continuing to do business as usual.
We are now not only business owners of the Bargain

Bin but also brand new landowners thanks to the generosity of our benefactors, the
Paulding County commissioners and the Area Foundation.
Our property is at the corner
of Harrison and Cherry streets.
You cant miss it. We have a
beautiful sign with a thermometer that tells of our progress.
We were so excited with this
opportunity ... We put out
our bids for the plans for the
building and chose the McDonald Construction Co. from
Defiance. The one stipulation
of our benefactor was that we
were to have an all-steel building. Our new building will be
nothing fancy, but will provide
us with much-needed space
that we do not have at this
time. We have set our budget
at $250,000.
Letters have been sent to
families of past members who
were instrumental in getting
the Bargain Bin started back
in the 60s. We have contacted
local businesses. In the beginning months we received
several gifts, but it seems we
are at a standstill. The longer it
takes us to get our designated
amount, the cost of the building continues to rise with the
price of steel and other costs.
We have been asked numerous times why we did not buy
a building that is available in
Paulding. We searched each
one and found that the cost
was way over our budget. We
did not have the finances to
purchase the building and then
to have it repaired over and
above the purchase price.
So we continued to work
weekly in our little store welcoming our customers with
a smile. We are so thankful
for those who purchase on a
weekly basis and for those
who give generously of their
variety of donations. Stop in
a see our little store. You will
be amazed at what we can
do with a limited amount of
space. But it sure would be
nice to have more room so we
could offer more to our clients.
The Bargain Bin was begun
in the 1960s as a benefactor
for the Paulding County hospital. Just recently we donated
$5,000 to the physical therapy
department. Yes, we could
have put that towards our new
building, but we have an obligation to those who began the
Bargain Bin that this would
always be our mission.
We hope you find it in your
heart to send a donation to the
building fund. You can send
to 118 W. Perry St., Paulding,
Ohio. And we thank you.

the 1970s.

about 1,400 other students
from across the country as
part of this program sponsored
by the National Rural Electric

this opportunity for our local
youth, Willitzer said. These
students gained a first-hand
understanding of the legislative process and made connections that will last a lifetime.
Our youth are our future, and
its an honor for PPEC to give
them the tools to succeed.
The students visited the
National 9/11 Pentagon Memorial, Gettysburg National

A hairy situation Mosquitoes are in

It is always fun to go to an
outdoor concert, sit under the
stars and listen to a band. I not
only enjoy the music, but am
always impressed with how
people from all walks of life
come together in one setting.
One of my favorite things to
do is people watch. We are
all very diverse human beings
with different talents, styles,
educations and hairdos. The
one feature I have been noticing lately is the many different
kinds of hairstyles we have.
Whenever I think I have either
had or seen everything in the
world of styling hair, I always
see a new one.
Now, the styles are those
with the many different colors. I have seen hair colors
of burgundy, blue, purple and
green. I am seeing more guys
wearing longer hair and girls
wearing spiked colorful hair.
The other day I saw a person
with a big spiked mohawk
that was multicolored. Now,
of course that style is not for
me, but it is fine for a younger,
cool person.
Growing up in the 1950s
brought in many different
styles of hair as guys grew
sideburns and combed their
locks into duck tails. Girls
were seeing ponytails, pageboys, French cut bangs and
twists. Guys were greasing
up their hair while girls were
pin curling and rolling their
crowning glory in curlers. I remember those old brush rollers we used to put our hair in
at night and trying to sleep on
them. Yes, I tried it and it hurt.
Remember when the Beatles made their debut on national TV? These four young
guys from England burst into
the music scene and brought
a whole new era of music and
hairstyles. I looked at them
and sort of liked what I saw,
but wasnt quite sure if it was
too long or too short.
Does anyone recall ever getting a permanent which gave
you a huge curly do? Yes, I had
one and so did my daughters. I
also remember the era of the
beehive. In fact I know some
ladies who still wear them.
Yes, I had one, too. Then there
were pixie cuts, shags, point

cuts and teasing. Yes, I have
had those hairstyles, too.
Another popular style for
women was the Dorothy Hamill haircut. She had hers cut
short in the back and sides,
but had some hair on the top
which made a really cute hairstyle. Yes, I had one of those,
too.
One thing I notice about
men is if they are losing their
hair, they tend to comb it
backwards or forwards to hide
that bald spot. Personally, I
like bald heads on guys. The
other evening while at a concert, I saw a guy who was bald
on the top of his head, but had
a really long fringe around the
outside. To each his own.
Then the art of frosting your
hair became popular and today
they call it highlighting. Yes, I
tried that too, but most of my
life I have been a blonde. However, only me, the bleach bottle
and my hairdresser know for
sure if I am a true blonde.
Not too long ago, you could
buy clips of feathers or a long
strand of colored hair to attach
to your own hair. I did this
too. Some of these styles and
colors may be made for the
younger generation, but they
are a lot of fun to just play
around with.
I would guess that every
generation has been concerned
with how their hair looks. I often see photos of early French
and American men wearing
white curly wigs. The wearing of wigs in men started to
be very popular at the end of
the 17th century, during the
reign of Louis XIV. In 1680,
in fact, Louis XIV had 40 wig
makers designing his wigs at

the court of Versailles. Oh my.
I doubt if that style of wig ever
makes a comeback.
In 1770, wigs were also extended to women.As the years
went on, womens wigs were being made taller and more sophisticated. Mens wigs were generally white, and womens wigs
of pastel colors, such as pink,
light violet or blue. Depending
on how wigs were ornamented,
they could reveal a persons profession or social status. Wealthier people could afford expensive
wig designers and better materials. They were made in general
with human hair, but also with
hair from horses or goats.
Near 1715, wigs started to be
powdered. Families had special
rooms for toilette, where they
arranged and powdered their
artificial hair. Wigs were powdered with starch or Cyprus
powder. To powder wigs, people
used special dressing gowns,
and covered their faces with a
cone of thick paper.
And we think we may have
strange hair styles? So, as I sit
and people watch, I notice that
several guys are wearing pony
tails. Perhaps that is an old reappearing style or maybe they
never changed it.
You often look at people and
see that while some have thin
fine hair, others will have a full
thick head of hair. I have also
seen men with no hair on top, but
will have a full, long, full beard
on his face.
I am always noticing new
hairstyles and colors. Personally,
I think it is fun to see just how
creative we as humans actually
are. Recently I saw little boys
very proudly getting mohawk
hair cuts and they looked really
nice on them. However, I dont
want one.
Probably the closest I will
come in keeping up with the
current color fashion, is to buy
some hair chalk and maybe put
in some blue, pink or purple.
Hey, I will try it, if you will.
What kinds of hairstyles have
you seen during your lifetime?
Have you ever sported a duck
tail or sideburns? Ladies, have
you ever had a bee hive? Let me
know and Ill give you a Penny

Financial Independence Day
Kiwanis president Erika Willitzer (left) and Paulding County Carnegie Library head of youth
services, Sara Molitor, deliver Diaper Chapter bags to health department representatives Sophia
Mobley and Sherry Miller.
Diaper Chapter bags now

available at health dept.
PAULDING The Paulding County Carnegie Library has a new partnership to encourage
parents and other caregivers of babies to read to
the infants.
They are making available emerging literacy bags they are calling Diaper Chapters.
These goodie bags are available to new parents
at the Paulding County Health Department
while supplies last.
Emerging literacy is a term referring to
pre-reading activities that encourage youngsters to read.
Diaper Chapters encourages new parents to
read aloud to their babies and teaches them
about the importance of early literacy. The bag
includes a board book of Mother Goose nursery

rhymes, a bib, growth chart and more. There is
no charge for a Diaper Chapters bag, but the
recipient must be a Paulding County resident.
We want to create new readers, said Paulding County Carnegie Library director Susan
Pieper, indicating the best way to do that is to
catch them in the cradle.
She said the Mother Goose theme was selected because of the rhythms, rhymes and nonsensical nature that appeals to children.
Diaper Chapters is made possible through a
partnership of the Kiwanis Club of Paulding
County and the library. For more information
contact the library at 419-399-2032.

can be dangerous, because if

a market downturn affects one
asset class particularly hard,
and much of your portfolio is
tied up in that asset class, you
could take a big hit. Instead
of clustering your dollars
around a single asset or two,
you could diversify your
holdings by owning a mix of
stocks, bonds, government
securities and other vehicles.
While diversification can potentially help you reduce the
impact of volatility on your
holdings, a diversified portfolio cant guarantee a profit or
protect you from loss.
Achieving any type of freedom, in any kind of endeavor,
takes time and effort. Thats
certainly the case with financial freedom you will need
to consistently make the right
moves, over a period of many
years, before you can finally
declare your fiscal independence. But once you reach that
point, you will likely conclude
that your diligence and dedication were well worth it.

Its almost the Fourth of
July time for fireworks,
picnics and a reflection on all
the liberties we possess in this
country. But if youre going
to enjoy the freedom to do the
things you want, especially
during your retirement years,
youll want to take the steps
necessary to achieve your
own Financial Independence
Day.
Here are a few suggestions
for helping you reach that
goal:
Liberate yourself from
debt. For most of us, a certain
amount of debt is unavoidable.
But the greater control you can
gain over your debts, the better off you will be, because
any dollars not spent in paying
debts can be used to save and
invest for your future. So look
for ways to cut down on your
spending and think about postponing some purchases until
you can pay for them in cash.
It may not be easy, but its
possible. And by putting this
found money to work imme-
diately in quality investments,

you may motivate yourself to
keep a lid on your debt level.
Unlock the power of time.
Albert Einstein once said,
The most powerful force in
the universe is compound interest. Einstein, who knew a
thing or two about the nature
of time, clearly recognized its
importance in investing. In
fact, as an investor, time may
be your greatest ally. The more
years in which you invest, the
more dollars youll put in, and
the longer youll have for your
investments to potentially
grow. Even if youre just starting out in your career and can
only invest a small amount
each month, youll be starting to accumulate the amount
youll eventually need to enjoy
the retirement lifestyle youve
envisioned.
Release your investments
growth potential. To attain financial freedom during your
retirement years, you will need
to invest for growth its that
simple. So include an appropriate amount of growth-oriented vehicles in your overall
investment mix. Ultimately,
this mix should be based on
your risk tolerance, time horizon and specific long-term
goals.
Free your investments
from clustering. In the investment world, as in many
other arenas of life, you can
have too much of a good
thing. For example, if you
own a particular investment,
such as a stock, that has done
well, you might think that its
a good idea to own more of
the same type of stock. But
when investing, duplication

strong for Panthers
By JOE SHOUSE
Sportswriter
HICKSVILLE In a double header played last Monday at Hicksville, the Aces

solid pitching to get by Paulding in both games.
In the opener, Hicksvilles
Dakota Harvey went the
distance, completing seven
innings, allowing just four
Panther hits in recording a 7-3
win.
Both teams were knotted
at three apiece through four
innings, but Hicksville came
alive in the bottom of the fifth

Alex Arellano was the losing pitcher with just one inning of work. Arellano gave
up five runs, four hits and
walked one.

In the second matchup,
the Panthers couldnt get untracked at the plate and managed just one hit, a double

The five-inning affair belonged to the Aces, 2-0.
Pitching the shut-out for
the Aces was Jake Greer who
went five innings, walking
two, striking out seven and
giving up the lone hit to Egnor.

In relief the Archers continued their dominance with Mike Taylor giving up a single run
and allowing two hits while striking out two.
Keaton Altimus closed the door on the Aces

with three innings of scoreless pitching while
giving up just two hits and two walks.
With their first win, the Archers stand 1-3

Whats blooming in that ditch?

spot of blood.
Milkweed. There are several types of milkweed in
bloom. All belong to the
genus Asclepias and are the
all-important sole food source
for the monarch butterfly in its
caterpillar larval stage. Without milkweed, the monarch
cant reproduce. Were seeing
common and swamp milkweed blooming in pink now,
as well as the orange butterfly
weed.
Chicory. Cichorium intybus is that lovely, periwinkle
bloom you see along roadsides
on airy stems about 1.5-2 feet
tall, and some call it wild
bachelors buttons. Its roots
have been used ground up as
a coffee substitute and the foliage is sold as salad greens
Superhero reading

ANTWERP The Antwerp branch library is gearing up for
the start of its superhero summer reading program on July 8.
This years theme is Every Hero Has a Story.
The Antwerp branch is the oldest in the library system and
has been providing fun, educational and engaging programs for
all ages for over twenty years. Stop in or call the library at
419-258-2844 and register a child, grandchild, niece, nephew
or favorite kid today. Also, check out the branch on Facebook.
Do not miss a moment of the fun.
Schedule for the program: July 8 Heroes Throughout History!; July 15 Community Heroes! July 22 Heroes to the
Rescue!; July 29 Bam! Pow! Read!
Programs are repeated at 10:30-11a.m. or 1-1:30 p.m. and are
geared for K-4 graders.
July 10 and July 24 will be make-n-take craft day. Children
may visit the library at any time on these days to make a craft
to take home.

locations. I like seeing it grow
together with Queen Annes
Lace.
Birds Foot Trefoil. Its a
funny name for a pretty yellow-flowering groundcover
thats popped up just about everywhere for the last month or
so. Lotus corniculatus is a legume, like peas and soybeans,
meaning it fixes nitrogen from
the air in its roots and releases
it into the soil, making the nutrient available for other plants
to use. Its sometimes used as
a forage plant for livestock,
but its most often seen right
next to the road, as it doesnt
require deep or fertile soil to
survive.
Prickly pear cactus. Cacti
have the most astoundingly
beautiful blooms of bright
yellow. Believe it or not, this
one is an Ohio native and yes,
it survives our frigid winters,
which isnt common for succulents. Theres a large clump
of them growing in the old
parking lot of a former church
on the second curve in Edgerton, Ind., on the way to Fort
Wayne that began blooming a
week ago.
Yucca. Though yuccas
arent native to Ohio, they
have established themselves
here. With swordlike foliage,
theyre blooming now, with
tall spikes covered in clusters
of large ivory bell-shaped
flowers. They almost seem out
of place in Ohio and something youd more likely see
out southwest, but they grow
quite well here.
Other blooming wildflowers you might see include
white and red clovers, bindweed (like a miniature white
morning glory and a pain in
the behind if its in your garden), swamp rose, coreopsis,
purple coneflower, and that
invasive purple loosestrife,
among others. For help with
identifying what you see, you
can visit Northwest Ohio Nature at www.ohio-nature.com/
ohio-wildflowers.html or the
Ohio DNR at uswildflowers.
com/wfquery.php?State=OH
By the way, dont forget
that July 4th is the traditional
last day to pinch back your fall
bloomers like mums, asters, and
tall sedums. What? You havent
been doing that? You can do it
now, but dont cut more than a
third of the stem off. This will
entice the plants to branch, have
more blooms, and not flop over
as much, if at all.

The common ditch lily can often be found in local cemeteries, as seen here, or in clumps in
ditches, which is what gave it its common name.
The flower heads on Queen Annes Lace are called umbels and the individual flowers that make
it up are called florets. If you look closely, you can see the purple floret in the center that confirms
its Queen Annes Lace instead of a look-alike. Most, but not all, will exhibit the purple floret.

Just as our garden flowers

have their seasons, so do the
wildlings that we see growing
along roadsides, in ditches,
and at the woods edge. You
can always tell what month
of the year it is by whats
blooming, particularly whats
blooming together.
Until this year. Rain, lack of
sunshine, and general weather
shenanigans have served to
mix it up a bit and more than
a few plants are somewhat
confused. I just noticed one of
my Rose of Sharon plants is
blooming already. Normally,
it flowers in mid-to-late summer.
Heres what you might see
if you were to go on a Sunday
drive around the county right
now:
Ditch lilies. As with all daylilies, this one isnt a true lily,
but the flower resembles one.
The common orange ones that
are in full bloom right now
are Hemerocallis fulva. If you
have these in your yard, watch
for hummingbird moths at
dusk and later, as they are one
of their pollinators.
Queen Annes Lace. Also
known as wild carrot, its white
umbels are just now starting to
pop up everywhere. There are
some look-alike plants, but
you can usually spot a true
Daucus carota by the red/
purple dot in the middle of
the white flower head. Its this
that gives it its common name,
mimicking the tale that Queen
Pedaling for a purpose

By JOE SHOUSE
MELROSE For six years
a group of bicyclists numbering between 20 and 25 take
a week during the summer to
travel 300 miles. Averaging
about 50 miles a day, a trip of
this magnitude doesnt seem
all that difficult or for that
matter even significant. But
its not about the distance of
the journey, its about the purpose.
Ranging in age as young as
11 to 70, the group known as
H.I.S. Home 300, pedal from
Rockford, Mich. to Harrod,
Ohio, while making a stop at
the Melrose Methodist Church
last Friday for lunch. Each
year the church opens their
doors to the group, serving
them lunch while giving them
a place for a mid-day break.
We have partnered with
19 different churches along
our 300 mile trip. We stop for
meals or for over night lodging. Each stop, just like the
one at Melrose, is like a homecoming, said trip organizer
Geoff VanBerkel.
H.I.S. Home 300 refers to
the three orphanages in Port
Au Prince, Haiti they support
and the 300 stands for the
number of miles they ride.
Geoff and Judy VanBerkel,
who live in Rockford, have
coordinated the fund raising
trips each of the six years.
It costs nothing to ride but

each rider is expected to raise
at least $500 but everyone always raises more. Our goal
this year is to raise $50,000
and so far we have raised
$30,000. Im confident we
will reach our goal, said VanBerkel.
The orphanage is home to
over 100 children from new
born age to 18. The facility
offers shelter, clothing, proper nutrition, medical attention
and schooling to the orphaned
and abandoned children of
Haiti.
Since the devastating earthquake in 2010, five years have
past and according to VanBerkel, the children of Haiti
remain forgotten. Much of the
money pledged after the earthquake never reached the ones
who most needed the help.
God has used H.I.S. Home
and our supporters to bring
hope and a future to those
who lost the most and were
at the greatest risk. We seek
to place these kids into Christian homes who will provide
a strong nurturing environment, said VanBerkel.
Matt Wetters and Sam VanBerkel, both 16 and home
schooled juniors, are veterans
of the 300 mile trip and look
forward to it each summer.
VanBerkel has been on all
six trips while Wetters has
experienced five trips. On the
Joe Shouse/Paulding County Progress
H.I.S. Home 300 made its annual stop at the Melrose Methodist Church last Friday. The group of bicyclists travel 300 miles through
Michigan and Ohio in order to raise funds for an orphanage in Haiti. The Melrose church provides lunch for the group before they
make their way to Delphos.

the county commissioners, asking that after the county parking
lot was finished that the village
pass an emergency ordinance
declaring the parking around the
square limited to two hours.
Councilman Randy Daeger
explained the new parking map
that the street committee has
created.
It was noted the two-hour
parking ordinance will need to
be amended.
Two work change directives
were approved for the second
phase of the combined sewer
separation project. A $18,000
change was granted to eliminate additional water service
shutdowns north and south
of Bryans Alley. A $45,000
credit was authorized due to
improved lateral connection to
cured-in-place pipe.
In other business, council:
passed an ordinance authorizing the village to participate
in the Ohio Cooperative Purchasing Program unanimously
after its third reading.

parking and change orders for
the combined sewer separation project topped the agenda
of Paulding Village Councils
June 15 meeting.
Paulding County Common
Pleas Court Judge Tiffany
Beckman aired her concerns
about parking around the
square, especially concerning
how people who come to court
are effected. At one time parking around the square was free,
but now has two-hour parking.
Explaining that her court has
jury trials scheduled weekly
and divorce hearings even more
often plus monthly grand jury,
she asked where out-of-town
attorneys, witnesses, jurors and
case defendants can park without getting ticketed. She indicated 30-40 people may be in the
courthouse for a trial.
She also wanted to know how
two-hour parking around the entire square came about.
Mayor Greg White responded that parking changes are in
process, saying that the street
committee has been working
on changing some of the timed
parking spaces to unlimited
parking.
He also stated that when
someone involved with a trial is
ticketed they should come to the
police department or the clerk of
courts office and Krista Gonzales will take care of the ticket.
Councilman Roger Sierer
told Judge Beckman that village
council had been approached by
kids in Haiti. Seeing what they

have gone through since the
earthquake, when I see their
picture, its easy to continue to
ride when you may not want
to, said Wetters.
I have a heart for orphans
and this experience is awesome. But there are times
