No two seasons are ever the
same and that has never been
demonstrated more vividly
than the contrasting springs of
2012 and 2013, says Ohio
State University Agriculture
Agent Jim Lopshire.
Lopshire noted that April of
this year has brought 6.47
inches of rain, practically the
same amount of rain that has
fallen the first three months of
the year previous to April.
That is in contrast to last
Aprils total of slightly over an
inch of rainfall.
The total rainfall for the
first four months of last year
was just over seven inches,
said Lopshire. That four
month total practically reflects
this Aprils rainfall alone.
With the drought conditions
lasting through much of last
year and even through por-
tions of this winter, April rains
are certainly helping the area
overcome the dryness.
I know that the rain has
been needed. Farmers have
probably been a bit more pa-
tient because of that, but I
think most farmers would like
to be in the fields, said
Lopshire.
As far as moisture, things
are quite a bit worse south of
here than they are in our area.
When you drive south of here
toward Indianapolis, many
fields have ponding; some of
them look like small lakes.

PAULDING A two-vehicle crash
last week claimed the life of a Paulding
woman.
Dead is Julie Miler, age 28.
According to the Van Wert Post of the
Ohio State Highway Patrol, the incident
occurred at 1:28 a.m. Wednesday, April
24 on US 127 north of Road 162 in
Crane Township, north of Paulding.
Miler, driving a 1998 Oldsmobile
Intrigue, was northbound on 127 and at-
tempted to pass a northbound 1990
Cadillac Deville driven by Joshua
Finfrock, 28, of Paulding. As Miler
completed the pass and began to return
to the northbound lane, her vehicle
struck Finfrocks car.
As a result of the initial collision, both
vehicles traveled off the east side of the
roadway. Milers car struck a utility pole
and overturned, coming to rest in a field.
Finfrocks car continued into the field
before striking a tree.
Miler was ejected from her car. She
was pronounced dead at the scene by the
Paulding County coroner.
Finfrock and his passenger, Joseph
Vance, age 27, of Paulding, were not in-
jured.
The crash remains under investiga-
tion. No additional information is avail-
able.
The Paulding County Sheriffs Office,
Cecil Fire Department and Paulding Fire
Department and EMS assisted at the
scene.
Revolutionary soldiers in-
cluding that of the fort com-
mander, Captain Brown.
They were marked only by a
temporary pine marker. It is
said the graves were visible
until a granary was built and
covered the spot.
In 1939, a committee was
appointed to construct a per-
manent marker at Fort
Brown to commemorate the
historic site. The wooden
monument stood until 1953.
In 1953, a new granite
monument was built as part
of the Ohio sesquicentennial
celebration.
The Fort Brown dedication
program took place on Aug.
16, 1953 with Harley Shisler
as chairman; Mabel Thomas,
secretary and Grover Hipp,
treasurer.
One dignitary attending
the dedication was Ohio
Governor Frank Laushe, who
smoked a peace pipe with
representatives of the Ottawa
Indian Tribe. The Indians
were part of the Red Mens
Lodge of Antwerp.

will mark the forts bicenten-

FORT BROWN The
Jacob Stemple Chapter of the
Ohio Society of the
Daughters of the War of 1812
are planning a bicentennial
ceremony for Fort Brown.
The event is set for June 29
at the historic site of the for-
mer Fort Brown.
Fort Brown is located on
Road 171 at the mouth of the
Little Auglaize River in
Paulding County. It was a
supply fort built and com-
manded by Captain Brown
for General William Henry
Harrisons Army.
General Harrison led a
campaign to drive the British
and Indian alliance out of
Ohio in 1812. Including Fort
Brown, there were a total of
four supply forts for Fort
Meigs in Toledo. The British
and Indians were defeated at
Fort Meigs in 1813 and Fort
Brown was only in existence
until 1815.
In 1835, a little town was
platted by Miller Arrowsmith
and according to reports the
first post office in Brown
Township was located there.
Also on the site there were
the graves of three

GROVER HILL On Monday evening,
Paulding County sheriffs deputies found the
third meth lab in four weeks, which resulted in
the arrest of two Grover Hill men.
Sheriff Jason Landers said that on Monday,
his office received credible information that
was consistent with previous information re-
ceived on the individuals. Officers obtained a
search warrant and raided a property, located on
Ohio 637 on the south edge of Grover Hill,
about 6 p.m. At the site, they found a meth -
anphetamine (meth) lab.
Arrested were Ricky A. Girod Sr., age 51, and
his son, Ricky A. Girod Jr., age 24.
Landers anticipates both men will be charged
with one count each illegal processing of drugs,
and illegal assembly or possession of chemicals
for the manufacture of drugs. Both charges are
second-degree felonies.
Eight members of the sheriffs office were on
scene, as well as an agent from the Bureau of
Criminal Investigation (BCI) who is assigned to
the West Central Ohio Crime Task Force. It took
about two and a half hours to assess, process and
neutralize the meth lab.
This latest bust follows one on April 9 near
Charloe in which two people were arrested, and
one April 18 near Mandale that resulted in one
arrest. The next grand jury may be all meth
cases, the sheriff said.
Landers, who took office in January, com-
mented that his office isnt doing anything dif-
ferently than before; its simply that he is mak-
ing the information public.
Ive received nothing but positive feedback
from the articles, he said.
Tips from the public can prove helpful in find-
ing and prosecuting individuals in such cases.
As long as we have credible information, we
will continue, said Landers.

Reopening jail could cause domino effect in NW Ohio
By JIM LANGHAM
Feature Writer
If the Paulding County Jail were to
reopen at some point, it could cause a
domino effect in housing prisoners in
northwest Ohio. Putnam County Jail,
where Paulding County prisoners are
now held, could be looking for more
prisoners elsewhere. Other counties
may need facilities such as Putnam or
Paulding to house their inmates.
There could be opportunities out
there, said Sheriff Jason Landers.
We cant say whether or not anyone
would want to send inmates our way.
Landers and the commissioners
agree that there are several issues that
would have to be addressed if the
local jail were to ever be reopened.
We can just ignore the fact that we
have a state-of-the-art facility, said
Landers. It is vacant, but it still has to
be paid for.
We are going to have to take a
look at whether or not the thing to do
is to continue to out-house and send
our inmates to neighboring counties
at taxpayers expense.
Currently, the county is on track to
exceed the projected budget of
$320,000 to out-house prisoners in
other counties. In January, a total of
62 inmates spent 629 days in jail for a
cost of $28,305. In March, 52 inmates
served 734 billable days for a cost of
$33,030.
It is obviously going to cost more
money to bring the jail back into op-
eration than the cost of housing in-
mates. The unknown is how much
difference there is in that cost, con-
tinued Landers.
Would there be enough economic
impact to offset the difference? com-
mented Commissioner Tony
Zartman.
One thing is certain, commented
Commissioner Roy Klopfenstein.
There are going to be a lot of as-
sumption numbers. Not everything is
going to be black and white.
Landers said that the cost to reopen
and maintain the jail would probably
be close to an additional $250,000.
The big investment in an open jail is
paying full-time workers, he said.
That would also include benefits, sup-
plies and insurance.
If the jail ever were to reopen, the
sheriff said, he would need to shift the
money used for out-housing into a
line item for wages for full-time
workers.
Landers and commissioners agreed
that it would ultimately take a levy to
operate the cost of running the facili-
ty. However, the sheriff said, he
would like to have adequate time to
visit with taxpayers, get their pulse
and answer their questions about the
jail issue. This, he said, would not
happen overnight.
Were not ready for a levy at this
point, said Landers. I want to take
the time to dialogue with voters
through town meetings and things of
that nature. I want to get their pulse
and make sure they understand all of
the issues before we would even con-
sider doing anything.

PAULDING - Improv -
ements continue to be made to
the buildings on the Paulding
County Fairgrounds, and com-
munity support has been key.
Currently, five major reno-
vation projects are under way:
revamping the restrooms at the
block building, replumbing
those at the grandstand, reroof-
ing the Grange Hall, putting
ceilings in the food pavilions at
Midway Caf and the Lions
ice cream shop and poultry
barn upgrades.
Many smaller projects are
also in the works.
The largest project is block
building bathrooms. A new
roof was installed over the area
about a month ago. Beginning
in February, the actual facilities
were gutted. Earlier this month
P&H Masonry completed a
two-day project building stall
and shower walls of block.
In the mens room, four
stalls were constructed. The
ladies room has six, plus two
showers. One shower remains
in the mens room.
Both are being replumbed
and new fixtures, toilets, sinks,
countertops and mirrors will be
installed. The floors will be
treated to make toilets more
stable and mopping easier.
Dark green epoxy paint will
cover them, while the walls
and ceilings get a coat of white.
New doors will be put in
place between the restrooms
and the junior fair display
building. Outside, the building
will get a fresh coat of white to
offset new green roof.
According to Paulding
County Senior Fair Board
president Tim Shafer, his
group is aiming to finish the
project in time for the Relay
For Life event during the first
weekend of June. The remain-
der of this work will be com-
pleted by fair board members
and volunteers.
Bathrooms at the grandstand
will be replumbed, plus new
toilets and a water heater will
be put in place. This work will
be done by Schlatter Plumbing
and Heating.
Hartzog Lumber will be put-
ting the new green metal roof
over the Grange Hall. This
should take a week once the
project is started. The rounded
roof will be maintained with
this effort.
The north doors of the build-
ing will be replaced with an
overhead door. The current
ones are rotting at the bottoms.
The building will also be sided
with white metal.
Particle board has been used
to compose a ceiling in the
Midway Caf seating area. It
will be painted white with
green trim board to accent it.
New gutters were installed on
this structure as well as the
front of the grandstand several
weeks ago by Rain Tech of
Antwerp.
A ceiling of metal siding is
planned for the ice cream
pavilion.
Donations from the commu-
nity for the poultry barn will be
put to use by fixing rotting
posts, adding 200 amp service
to the building, installing extra
outlets to accommodate fans
and painting.
The fair secretarys and
board office has been reconfig-
ured and reroofed in green
metal. This buildings exterior
will be painted white when
weather permits. Preparation
for new sidewalk and ramp
into the structure are also under
way.
In front of the office, a capi-
tal improvement donor recog-
nition area is being construct-
ed. It still requires a cement
floor and siding on the top half.
It is white with a green roof,
in keeping with the new theme.
Plaques will be displayed
under glass at the back of the
structure featuring the names
of gold, silver, bronze and
anonymous donors.
Gold members donate over
$5,000; silver $1,000 to
$5,000; and bronze $100 up to
$1,000. These plaques will be
displayed during fair week and
the Flat Rock Creek Festival.
Other improvement projects
remain on the list. Pending are
the planting of several trees
around the grounds, work on
the north and west sides of the
grandstand and new doors and
ventilation on the show arena.
Thirty tree or shrub
seedlings have already been se-
cured. There are five each of
red cedars, blue spruces, sugar
maples, lilac bushes, arborvitae
and red osiers.
Plans are in the works for
siding to be added to the grand-
stand after removing the old
doors. The siding will reach 10
feet from the ground.
At the show arena, a vented
roof cap will improve ventila-
tion. Two new entry doors and
three sliding doors will replace
the existing entryways. Grace
Home Improvement will per-
form this work. Rain Tech will
add new eaves and down
spouts.
Steel has been ordered from
Wagner Metals to complete
new roofing of the gazebo and
the restrooms at the west end of
the fairgrounds. Time and help
are an issue for these projects
to be completed by fair time.
With so much going on in
the way of fairground im-
provements, the fair board is
welcoming any help from the
community. Work nights are
now officially under way each
Tuesday evening from 5-8
p.m. Additionally, at least one
fair board member is usually
on the grounds working on a
project from 10 a.m.-5 p.m.
Mondays through Thursdays.
People wishing to help can
show up during these times or
contact one of the following
fair board members: Tim
Shafer at 419-769-1411, Dan
Howell at 419-769-1379 or
Jeff Miller at 419-796-7688.
Lopshire said that he does-
nt know of any corn or soy-
beans that have been planted
in the county so far. Statewide
statistics indicate that only
two percent of the corn crop in
Ohio has been planted accord-
ing to the National
Agricultural Statistics Service
at this time. That is in contrast
to 31 percent of corn planted
by this time last year.
I will say that we are not
even close to working fields,
let alone planting, at this
point, said Lopshire. Yield
reductions resulting from
working clay soils that are too
wet may be much greater than
those resulting from delayed
planting.
The recommended time
for planting corn in northern
Ohio is April 15 to May 10,
said Lopshire. When corn
planting is delayed after the
optimum date, there is poten-
tial for yield decline, but if
Mother Nature cooperates,
things can still come out well.
In 2011, the corn that was
planted in early June turned
out to have a better yield than
corn planted in April or May.
The thing that farmers are
going to have to start looking
at if they havent already done
so is weed control, continued
Lopshire. As I drive around
the area, I see more and more
fields that are starting to turn
green. We know that those are
not crops in the fields. As
weeds grow, they become
more difficult to manage and
keep under control.
One thing Lopshire likes is
the appearance of wheat at
this point.
Wheat is a cool season
crop and it has faired well
from this springs conditions,
said Lopshire.
Lopshire said that he will soon
be receiving the latest report
from the National Agriculture
Statistical Service. He urged
area farmers to call him if they
have any concerns or ques-
tions about anything.
No two years are the same.
They all vary and we have to
adjust accordingly, Lopshire
said.
Other events will are being
planned for the dedication at
the Oakwood Park. More in-
formation will be made avail-
able after the May 10 meeting.
The Ohio Society
Daughters of the War of 1812
is a National Lineage Society
where members prove with
birth certificates, marriage
and death records in every ge-
nealogy dating back to an an-
cestor who served in the War
of 1812.
Chapter will be dedicating a
concrete bench, purchased by
the society. The bench, 48
inches long, 14 inches wide
and four inches thick, will
have epoxy and rods to con-
nect the bench to legs to foun-
dation. It is being installed by
Homiers Monumental Inc. of
Defiance.
Tentative plans call for the
Oakwood Community Band
to play, and Richard
Rosevink, a local historian
and researcher, will speak.
Other groups will also partici-
pate. If you plan on attending,
it is requested that you bring a
chair for the hour long pro-
gram.
The Jacob Stemple Chapter
has scheduled a meeting at 10
a.m. on May 10 at the Cooper
Library in Oakwood. Plans
will be finalized at that time
for the dedication and anyone
who wants to help out is wel-
come to attend this meeting.

PAULDING If you have never been out to
the Black Swamp Nature Center you will be
pleasantly surprised at the beauty of the old
meadow and wetland areas which provide an
excellent habitat for many species of birds and
plants.
The Black Swamp Nature Center is located at
503 Fairground Drive and the access to the 50-
acre preserve is just off of Road 132. The
wildlife area was established in 1958 when the
state purchased the land. From 1958-90, money
was spent to turn the wetlands, wooded areas
and ponds into a fish-stocked, wildlife refuge
park. The ponds, however, were abandoned by
ODNR as deep water fishing ponds, because the
ponds were not constructed for that purpose.
In 1990 it was offered and approved for sale
to the Paulding County commissioners, who
agreed to lease it to the Paulding Area
Foundation. The Flickinger Fund had provided
fund for the lease and to develop a wildlife edu-
cation fund.
The Flickinger Fund was dissolved in 1990
and although the Paulding Foundation held the
lease, it was not in charge of development.
The Paulding Foundation needed to raise
some funds for the preserve, so with the efforts
of Steve Sprow, Joe Althauser and Tim Franklin,
goals were set to raise at least $10,000. Several
groups joined together and formed The
Paulding County Wildlife Association.
The Paulding County Wildlife Association
then formed a board whose focus was to retain
and restore the natural habitat of the center.
There was to be no hunting in the preserve and
it was to be a designated wildlife area.
Students from area schools worked hard
doing things like planting trees, cleanup, signs,
trail marking and building picnic tables.
In 2000 planning began for the building of an
educational facility. A lot of planning, organiza-
tion and contracts went into the funding and the
building was completed in 2002.
That building today is the site of meetings,
workshops, bridal showers and private parties.
The setting of the whole preserve also makes it
a perfect photo-op place.
Mark Holtsberry is the current educational di-
rector and has worked tirelessly redoing the in-
side of the Nature Center structure, renovating
the docks as well as removing brush and trees.
The Master Gardeners is also going to assist
with planting shrubs and some native trees,
Holtsberry said.
We have a wedding coming up here in June.
What a neat place with its beauty, and our build-
ing is equipped with a kitchen and easily seats
83 people, Holtsberry added.
It costs $100 to rent the building, but after
we make sure everything is done and cleaned
up, we refund $50 of it. It is just a neat place.
Holtsberry noted, One of my goals is to get
the parking lot paved. I wrote a 52-page grant
and received monies, but it is a matching grant
and we still need to raise $6,400 ourselves. We
had a garage sale, which brought in $3,100, and
received some money from the Paulding
County Area Foundation.
Another one of my goals is when the park-
ing lot is complete is to begin having some nurs-
ing home or assisted living residents come out
and look around.
The Black Swamp Nature Center also will be
having some nature walks during John Paulding
Days and the Paulding County Fair.
Did you know that the Black Swamp Nature
Center was not always a nature center preserve,
but was part of the old sugar beet factory? Built
in 1910, the German-American Sugar Beet fac-
tory came about because of the efforts of local
banker Charlie Allen, who believed that sugar
beets would be a diversified crop for farmers.
As a result, four ponds were constructed for
the factory. The pond water was not for drinking
but was pumped to the factory for the purpose of
moving the sugar beets to production. Three of
those ponds still exist today and are part of the
Black Swamp Nature Center.
Different companies bought and sold the
sugar beet factory over the years with 1947
being the last year that a sugar beet harvest was
produced.
With the restoration of the Nature Center
being carefully overseen, visitors can expect to
see additions throughout. The additions will be
those to encourage native species and to en-
hance wildlife growth.
To make a donation to the Black Swamp
Nature Center paving project, send a check to
The Paulding County SWCD, 523 Fairground
Drive, Paulding, Ohio, 45879. Make sure to des-
ignate that the funds are for the paving project.

JULIE MILER
1984-2013
PAULDING Julie Marie
Miler, born in Defiance on
Nov. 13, 1984 to Sheila
(Hacker) Combs Jr. of Pauld-
ing and Richard Miler of
Oakwood, got her wings to
fly with angels on April 24.
She was killed in a car acci-
dent involving her and her
boyfriend of 10 years, Josh
Finfrock.
J u l i e
was truly
loved by
all. She
loved her
family; her
boyfriend;
her cat was
her baby
since she had no kids of her
own. Her cats name is Pink,
she left her beautiful and
cherished niece, Eliza
Schleuter, name her baby boy
Pink. Julie loved animals, es-
pecially butterflies, cats,
hummingbirds, flowers, gar-
dening, spending time with
family and especially time
with her boyfriend Josh.
She leaves behind her
mother and stepdad, Sheila
and Hacker Combs Jr. of
Paulding; her father, Richard
Miler of Oakwood; her baby
sister who she loved dearly,
Jessie Miler (Brandon
Schleuter) of Paulding; her

stepsisters, Angie Gipple of
Hicksville and Chrissy
(Brian) McClish of
Hicksville. Julie had nine
nieces and two nephews,
many aunts, uncles and
cousins who loved her. Julie
had many friends; I dont
think she knew how much
she was truly loved. Julie
liked I.C.P. and loved going
to shows with Josh. Her
uncle, Charlie McGuire, who
also lived with Julie and her
parents, loved Julie and she
loved him.

The Amish Cook
By: Lovina Eicher
best years are to come and that
an incredible second act is
about to begin, but I do need
your help. Were all a bit in-
vested in this column. Its al-
ways been the Little Engine
that defies the odds and climbs
the hill.
Its time for my first baby to
grow up, because my focus
will be on another. My wife
and I are now unexpect-
edly expecting
our first
c h i l d
this Sep-
tember.
I m
40 years
old now. I
am at an age
when many of
my peers are
helping their chil-
dren shop for prom
dresses or prepare for
drivers licenses and Ill be
changing diapers. Ill be con-
fused for the grandparent at
graduation when the class of
2031 hits the stage. The
thought of this new journey
thrills me and terrifies me.
The second act will be 20
years that builds on the founda-
tion of the first. Ive been to
Plain communities from Maine
to Montana and Ill be sharing
those experiences in more
books, talks, and online.
Look for a childrens book
about the Amish, video series,
podcasts, organic gardening
books and a lot more fun activ-
ities in the years ahead. But to
get there I need you to vote
yes by ordering cookbooks.
Cookbooks have been our
mainstay and 300 cookbook
sets (wed only need five to 10
orders from Daily Journal
country) ordered between now
and May 31 would allow the
mistakes of the past to be
mopped up for good and the
foundation for the future to be
finished.
By Kevin Willliams
Note: Lovina will return
next week.
Over 20 years ago, when I
was 18 and a college journal-
ism student, I created The
Amish Cook column by hir-
ing Old Order Amish writer
Elizabeth Coblentz (Lovinas
Mom) to write it.
At the time I would have
told you that I was all grown
up and knew exactly what I
was doing. Maybe some kids
that age know where they are
going and what theyre doing,
but looking back I sure didnt.
The Amish Cook column be-
came my baby and we grew
up together.
I still cherish Amish culture.
Theres something magical
about visiting Amish country,
where freshly washed laun-
dry hangs on the line in bril-
liant hues of blues, blacks and
rust.
Where shiny black buggies
outnumber cars, offering a
slower, more measured pace
with their clip-clop cadence
and sure gait. Where families
eat together, pray together,
and talk to one another over a
hearty supper of buttery noo-
dles, homemade rolls the size
of softballs, and fresh fruit
pies for dessert.
No smart-phones in sight.
While Amish life is often
overly romanticized I still be-
lieve it has much to teach us
in the years ahead, that a col-
umn offering samples of sim-
plicity can do a lot of good in
this increasingly complex and
crazy world. Perhaps this was
the one thing, when I was 18,
that I did get right.
Regular readers know its
been a continual struggle to
keep this column going and
Im sure Ive contributed to it
by making more mistakes and
missteps in 20 years than many
make in triple that time.
I believe, however, that the
And I can make sure Lov-
ina has a bit solid of a start to
this second act also. 300 book
orders seems doable, too
doable to walk away from the
column when thats all that is
keeping the curtain from rais-
ing on the second act. Even if
you have some of the books,
covers have been redesigned
and new titles added.
Titles available are are: The
Amish Cook Cookbook,
The Best of the Amish
Cook Vol. 1, The Best
of the Amish Cook
Vol. 2, The Best
of the Amish
Cook Vol.
3, The
Best of
the Amish
Cook Vol. 4, The
Amish Cook Treasury,
The Amish Cooks Every-
thing But the Kitchen Sink
Book, The Amish Cook Fam-
ily Favorites and Facts, The
Amish Recipe Project, An
Amish Christmas and Re-
becca at the Beach by Kevin
Williams. And Im going to
give you as many ordering
tools as possible to cast your
vote:
The 11-book softcover set
is now available for 50 per-
cent off the usual price. The
price for all 11 softcover
books is $119 (shipping in-
cluded) or any five titles for

Ohio residents can
fish for free May 4-5
COLUMBUS Free Fishing Days on May
4-5 offers Ohio residents the opportunity to
fish in any of the states public waters without
buying a fishing license, according to the Ohio
Department of Natural Resources (ODNR).
It is important to introduce kids to fishing
at a young age, and these free educational op-
portunities are a great way to get kids acquainted
with fishing, said ODNR director James
Zehringer. We want to ensure that this pastime
continues as an important family tradition for our
children and grandchildren.
Ohios Free Fishing Days are open to all Ohio
residents and extends to all of Ohios public wa-
ters, including Lake Erie and the Ohio River. An
estimated 1.3 million people fish each year in
Ohio, and the ODNR Division of Wildlife
stocked 24 million fish in 2012 alone. Some dif-
ferent species of fish Ohioans might hook in-
clude steelhead trout, walleye, saugeye, crappie,
yellow perch, bass, bluegill and catfish.
The Free Fishing Days weekend offers
Ohioans of all ages the chance to experience the
fun of fishing. Here are some helpful tips for tak-
ing a youngster out for Free Fishing Days:
Keep the trip simple by considering a childs
age and skill level.
Choose a pond, lake or stream where chil-
dren will be able to easily catch a few fish.
A spin-cast reel is usually easy for kids to
use.
Bring a camera, and keep the trip fun and
short. Be patient plan on spending time untan-
gling lines, baiting hooks, landing fish and taking
pictures.
Anglers 16 years and older are required to
have a valid fishing license to take fish, frogs or
turtles from Ohio waters during the rest of the
year. An Ohio resident fishing license costs only
$19 per year.
Ohio residents born on or before Dec. 31,
1937, can obtain a free fishing license at any li-
cense vendor or online at wildohio.com. Resi-
dents age 66 and older who were born on or after
Jan. 1, 1938, are eligible for a $10 senior fishing
license. A one-day fishing license is available for
$11, an amount that can later be applied toward
the cost of an annual fishing license. Fishing li-
censes are available at participating agents and
wildohio.com.
The sales of fishing licenses, along with the
Sport Fish Restoration (SFR) program, continue
to fund ODNR Division of Wildlife fish man-
agement operations. No state tax dollars are used
for these activities. These are user-pay, user-ben-
efit programs.

smoothly. Randy Swary was the program chairman.
In My Opinion
Simple pleasures
Ever since having children, I realized how much I took for
granted the simple pleasures I had in life pre-kids. Im not talk-
ing about anything extravagant like the purchase of a new car or
a winter vacation to Florida, Im talking basic enjoyment such
as watching an entire movie in complete silence. Im talking of
an uninterrupted Sunday af-
ternoon nap. Im talking
about a warm meal on a cold
and rainy evening. Im talking
about the feeling of the
warmth of the sun hitting my
face on a summers day, a
ride in the country with the
windows down, the smell of
wildflowers, simple and beautiful pleasures of life.
It is so easy to forget to appreciate the little things that make
us happy, make us feel content. When we were children, it
seemed the littlest of things brought us the most joy. As an adult,
we let our kids, stress from our jobs, housework, and the general
hardships of life distract us from what makes us feel happy. It
seems as though the simple blisses simply are overlooked, only
to be replaced with mundane chores and the weight of the daily
grind.
Realizing the simple pleasures in life is just one of the many,
albeit indirect, reasons why I love and adore my children so
dearly. The joys they get from the smallest of things is inspiring.
It can be a red balloon, an ice cream cone, a puppy barking and
just simple things that will bring a smile to their faces. I dont
have as much leisure time now as I once did, but when I do, I
appreciate it so much more. It feels as though its the best thing
in the world to finish a cup of coffee while its still hot in the
morning; simple, yet incredible. When life gets overwhelming,
take some time to enjoy your surroundings, even five minutes
can make a world of difference.

Sewer separation project progresses
PAULDING The work
on the Village of Pauldings
Phase I sewer separation has
been under way for two
months now. Mainline sani-
tary sewer has been installed
from Emerald Road on Caro-
line Street to Water Street to
Jackson Street by the main-
line crew. The crew is cur-
rently working on South
Walnut Street.
According to Michael
Karafa from Jones & Henry
Engineers, mainline sanitary
sewer continues to be in-
stalled and once it is com-
pleted, the crew will step back
to Emerald Road and begin
connecting existing sanitary
laterals, from the mainline to
the right-of-way of each home.
At this point, the sanitary line
exiting a building will be con-
nected to the new sanitary
sewer.
The lateral crew is installing
new sanitary laterals from the
mainline sewer to the existing
right-of-way. This work has
been performed on West
Perry and West Harrison
streets, between Jackson and
Dix streets. The sanitary lat-
eral work continues to be in-
stalled. The crew is currently
working on Sugar Street.
Once these laterals are com-
pleted, new manholes will be
installed and then the sewers
will be cured in place.
The weather has caused
some delay, but overall, the
project is on schedule. Site
restoration will follow this
work, later this summer.
Business News
Ag Credit borrowers share profits
FOSTORIA Ag Credit, an Ohio rural lending cooperative,
will distribute a near record $14.2 million in profit-sharing to
stockholding borrowers this month in the form of checks ($9.2
million) and allocated equities ($5.0 million).
The refunds amount to 25.36 cents on every dollar of loan
interest accrued last year. With the cooperatives average rate
of 4.70 percent, that would reduce a borrowers interest for
2012 to 3.51 percent.
Ag Credit, part of the national Farm Credit System, is a fi-
nancial co-op that provides loans to farmers, agricultural busi-
nesses and rural homeowners. As a cooperative, Ag Credits
borrowers are its stockholders. The board of directors deter-
mines annually the portion of the cooperatives profits to be
distributed to eligible stockholders in the form of patronage
checks issued twice a year.

HOMESPUN

JIM LANGHAM
Fly like an eagle
takes on meaning
an appearance at the event.
Just as an area minister was
about to be introduced for the
invocation, there was a large
swishing noise in the sky and
everyone looked up to see the
magnificent appearance of a
bald eagle, totally circling the
event and putting on a major
show of its own.
The symbolism, representa-
tion, timing and magnificent
gracefulness of the event left
no question in the minds of
those attending that there was
Divine approval of the restora-
tion. Some even suggested that
Porter, who believed that the
appearance of different birds
represented meaningful spiri-
tual omens, had her own say-so
in the special event.
Ironically, I learned over the
weekend of a special eagle ap-
pearance here in Paulding
County earlier last week. A
Those of us who are still
stuck in 1970s popular music
have no problem capturing the
tune of the hit, Fly Like an
Eagle, in our minds with the
mere power of suggestion.
Saturday, April 27, that song
became reality under the most
unique circumstances. I was at-
tending the dedication cere-
monies at the Limberlost State
Historic Site in Geneva, Ind.,
the home of famed author,
Gene Stratton-Porter, famous
for such childrens books as,
The Song of the Cardinal,
Freckles, The Harvester,
and Girl of the Limberlost.
In her books, Porter built
heartwarming stories on the
countryside of the late 1890s
and early 1900s, based on
birds, critters and wild flowers
in a large swamp area known
as, The Limberlost, a sister
swamp across the border very
similar to the Great Black
Swamp of our area in north-
west Ohio.
More recently, major wet-
land restoration has occurred in
that area, bringing back many
of the flowers and birds that
were prevalent in the area over
100 years ago.
There was much buzz in the
large crowd attending Satur-
days dedication service, but no
one was prepared for a special
guest that was about to make
mother and son were out in a
natural setting taking special
pictures for memories and they,
too, in a much more humble
setting, were graced with the
appearance of a bald eagle dur-
ing their special time.
The writer of Proverbs
looked on the eagles appear-
ance with much the same won-
der thousands of years ago that
we do now.
There are three things that
are too amazing for me, four
that I do not understand, he
wrote in Proverbs 30:18-19. He
goes on to list as the first mys-
tery, how an eagle glides
through the air.
Isaiah picks up on the same
idea in 40:31, But they that
wait upon the Lord shall renew
their strength, they shall mount
up as wings as eagles, they
shall run and not be weary and
they shall walk and not faint.
Of course, its no secret that
cardinals have taken on sacred
meaning in my life, and their
appearance in recent weeks has
added new dimension to the
emerging springtime.
But Saturday, April 27, be-
longed to the eagle. Oh by the
way, that day was also the sev-
enth anniversary of the passing
of my motherjust saying.
CELEBRATING BIRTHDAY
Freda Bok will be celebrating
her 90th birthday with an open
house at Country Inn from 2-4
p.m. on Wednesday, May 8. It
will be a card shower with no
gifts, please.

A Penny For
Your Thoughts....
By: Nancy Whitaker
HANDS DOWN
One of the most important
parts of our body is our
hands. Stop and think of all
the different things we do
with our hands.
A mothers hand can
stir up sugar cookies, make
pies, wash dishes, dust, mend
clothing, and peel potatoes.
Her hands can rock a cradle,
burp a colicky baby and
soothe the brow of a sick
child.
A dads hands can plant
fields, harvest, work with
tools, drive a truck, work on
cars, mow the lawn, start a
fire and build a house.
We use our hands everyday
and it is almost impossible to
imagine our life without
them. Our hands have been
used as a way of protecting
ourselves since time began.
Hands can actually be consid-
ered a weapon when clenched
into fists. Open hands can be
used to slap someone.
Of course, we have all
heard the old wives tales
about what it means when
your hands itch. For instance,
if the palm of your right hand
is itchy, money will be com-
ing your way. But, if you
scratch it while it is itchy, itll
keep the money from coming.
Now, if the left hand is
itchy, this means that you will
be paying money to someone.
It is okay to scratch that hand
because if you do, it would do
away with the payments you
are going to have to make.
As odd as these old wives
tales may seem, there are
people who believe in them,
and these theories are still
being spread today from gen-
eration to generation.
Are they for real? Probably
not, but should you refrain
from scratching your right
hand when it itches? Why
not? You never know. You
may come into some good
fortune.
In addition to old wives
tales, there are other legends
about hands and fingers
which are probably not true.
I have always heard that if
you injured your finger, that
if you could move it, then it
wasnt broken. According to
my research this is not true.
There is an old saying,
Cold hands. Warm heart.
They say this saying depends
on why your hands are cold to
start with.
It is also reported that using
a computer causes carpal tun-
nel syndrome. Again there is
no proof this is true.
I read that using plain gel-
atin would make your finger-
nails grow and get stronger. I
bought those envelopes of
that white plain gelatin and I
never knew if they meant to
eat it or soak your hands in it.
There are a lot of people
who constantly crack their
knuckles. I have always heard
if you cracked your knuckles
they would get big and that
you would get arthritis.
Then, of course, we have
right handed people and those
who are left-handed. I always
heard being left-handed was a
genetic trait, however, a lot of
lefties have been trained to use
their right hand.
Did you know that only five
presidents of the United States
were left-handed? They were
James Garfield, Harry Truman,
Gerald Ford, George Bush and
Bill Clinton.
This last bit of information I
know is not true. They say that
a lefty is less likely to be able
to roll their tongue than a right-
handed person. Well, I am
right-handed and I cannot roll
my tongue.
There are so many neat
things about our hands. I loved
seeing my children wave bye-
bye for the first time; seeing
someone giving the thumbs
up sign; and the high-five
sign being given after a ball
game or event.
I am forever in awe of those
who can speak to the deaf with
sign language as they are
speaking with their hands and
we are listening with our
eyes.
Has your hand ever itched
and did you receive any
money? Are you right or left
handed? Do you think you
can learn things about some-
one by their hands?
Let me know and Ill give
you a Penny for Your
Thoughts.

As winter fades into spring,
the question most often asked
is when to begin treatment of
submerged aquatic plants.
Pond owners need to be com-
mended for being proactive in
their management of aquatic
plants; but applying aquatic
herbicides too early can po-
tentially be wasting money.
On top of that, pond owners
may have to re-treat to attain
the level of control they de-
sire. Lets discuss timing
those spring applications of
aquatic herbicides for maxi-
mum submerged aquatic
plant efficacy.
First and foremost, pond
owners need to consider their
pond uses and determine
what level of control is de-
sired. Aquatic vegetation can
provide some tangible bene-
fits in some cases. Ponds
managed for fish and wildlife
need some submerged
aquatic plants as they provide
valuable nursery areas, pro-
tection from predators, and
food resources. People who
have ponds used primarily for
swimming or watering nurs-
ery stock tend to prefer less
plants to avoid fouling swim-
mers feet or clogging pumps.
How early is too early? It is
generally recommended that
aquatic herbicides not be ap-
plied until plants are growing
vigorously, but not yet
reached high levels of bio-
mass. Generally, this means
holding off those applications
until mid-May.
Specifically, it is often wise
not to treat submerged aquatic
plants until water temperatures
exceed 60 F and we know
those temperatures will persist
for several days.
In cold water, plants tend to
slow down metabolically and
this can impact uptake of the
product. If cold water per-
sists, product decay might
occur prior to the application
achieving the desired results.
We also have some sub-
merged aquatic plants that are
When to start treating
pond plant problems
late germinators and an early
application may allow them
to still become a nuisance
later on.
Are there exceptions to the
rule? Yes, there are two inva-
sive submerged plant species
from Eurasia Curly-leaf
pondweed and Eurasian wa-
termilfoil which are suscep-
tible to aquatic herbicides in
early spring. These two sub-
merged plant species actively
grow in colder water, particu-
larly as water temperatures rise
through the 50s.
If you own a pond with ei-
ther of these species, you might
want to consider early season
applications to control these
species. This often requires
early-season treatments several
years in a row, but success can
be attained.
Also, please note that con-
tact aquatic herbicides work
more quickly than systemic
herbicides and tend to work
better in colder water. The
pond owner might consider
using a contact herbicide when
water temperatures are around
60 F and saving systemic her-
bicides for use as water tem-
peratures approach 70 F.
Always read and follow in-
structions on the herbicide
label.

A Quality Degree!
In The
Garden
By
Kylee Baumle
The Grandma flowers
Petunias, marigolds, ditch
lilies, red salvia, Ageratum,
Portulaca, geraniums. What
do these flowers have in com-
mon? Your grandmother
probably grew them. Maybe
your mother, too.
When you walk into a gar-
den center, do you stop and
ooh and ahh over them? Or
do you do like I do and give
them a cursory glance and
walk right past them on your
way to the more interesting
plants and the new introduc-
tions?
Somewhere along the way,
petunias and marigolds be-
came boring. Ditch lilies got
taken for granted. Red Salvia
and purple Ageratum became
clich. Portulaca, or moss
rose, perhaps bears too much
resemblance to its cousin,
that persistent weed,
purslane. (Although purslane
is a delicious salad edible!)
Geraniums, which arent re-
ally geraniums at all, but
pelargoniums, have just
graced one too many window
boxes and garden borders.
But really now, how DID
these plants become so over-
used and landscape abused?
Just why did Grandma plant
them every year? For as de-
spised as some of them are,
they are also easy to grow,
colorful, dependable, heat
and drought tolerant, inex-
pensive, readily available,
and generally pest-free.
When were choosing what
we want to grow in our gar-
dens, arent these some of the
characteristics we want in a
plant? I mean, who chooses
plants that are difficult to
grow, may or may not live
through the end of the season,
are always thirsty, cost a lot,
are hard to find, and are a
bugs favorite snack? (Dont
answer that; sometimes we
do. On purpose.)
But familiarity breeds con-
tempt and while we may
grow these common varieties
in our own gardens, they
arent high on our list of fa-
vorites and they arent the
ones that we drag garden vis-
itors over to see.
Oh, come and look at
these ditch lilies! Dont they
just have the most perfect
blooms youve ever seen?
(And they do.) And look at
that orange so pure and
bright! (And it is.)
There are new cultivars
being introduced all the time.
There must be a gazillion dif-
ferent petunias out there, and
with the introduction of the
Wave petunia several years
ago, theyre appealing to a
new generation of gardeners.
Its time we quit trash-talk-
ing flowers. Grow the latest
and greatest things in your
garden, I do. But dont forget
these tried and true oldies.
Theyre part of our history
and theyve earned and de-
serve a spot in our gardens
too.
I say, respect your elders
and the flowers they grew.
Grandma likely grew
marigolds, because she knew
they helped keep the pests out
of her vegetable garden and
they looked pretty doing it.
Grow some Ageratum and
get down on your hands and
knees and marvel at their in-
tense blue-purple color and
their fuzzy flowery finery. Ill
bet when you visited
Grandmas house as a child,
you thought they were cool.
Thats because they were.
And they still are.

Weekly Reminder

QUESTION: My husband
has been participating in a
weekly poker night with his
friends. Lately Ive become
concerned that hes turning
into a compulsive gambler.
He says Im worried about
nothing. How can I be sure?
JIM: It sounds trite, but
your husband may be in de-
nial. Dr. Robert Custer, a trail-
blazer in the field of gambling
addiction treatment, says that
denial means refusing to ac-
knowledge something to one-
self, getting oneself to actually
believe that there is no danger
at all. Its a common mindset
among those who struggle with
gambling addiction.
Unfortunately, denial can af-
fect the addicts spouse and
family, too. They may subcon-
sciously use it as a technique
for explaining away, minimiz-
ing or rationalizing destructive
behavior.
This being the case, our
counseling team recommends
that you first take an honest
look at yourself. You say
youre worried, but is it possi-
ble youve been ignoring the
obvious for a while now? A
gamblers spouse can some-
times remain in a state of denial
for years until some dramatic
incident suddenly jerks her
back to reality.
If, upon reflection, youre
convinced that your husbands
gambling is compulsive, sit
down with him and confront
the issue head-on. Has he
placed any limits on his gam-
bling activity, either in terms of
money wagered or time in-
vested? Depending on the an-
swers to those questions, insist
that he consider the possibility
that he has a serious problem.
Suggest that he seek profes-
sional assistance. If hes un-
willing to listen, enlist the help
of an objective third party, a
pastor, a relative or a male
friend who agrees with your
assessment. Our counseling
department can offer you a free
consultation and a referral to
qualified help.
QUESTION: My teenage
son and his friends are al-
ways drinking energy
drinks like Red Bull and
Rockstar. They say it gives
them energy and helps them
stay awake in school, but I
think its just expensive, glo-
rified soda pop. What do you
think?
BOB WALISZSEWSKI,
director of Plugged In:
You have reason to be suspi-
cious! Energy drinks have be-
come a huge industry,
appealing primarily to young
people who use them to keep
their edge amid busy lives that
dont include adequate sleep.
True energy, however,
comes from a well-balanced
diet. Energy drinks simply
stimulate the central nervous
system and provide a jittery
buzz. Dr. Vijay Roy, a cardi-
ologist with Prairie Cardiovas-
cular Consultants, says, Some
students get up in the morning
and take an energy drink with
them. Instead of a healthy
meal, they are replacing that
with fluids that arent natural in
the body.
While some drinks add neg-
ligible amounts of vitamins, the
big appeal for young people is
the caffeine. Some single-serv-
ing energy drinks contain the
caffeine equivalent of five cans
of Coke! Drinkers get that typ-
ical caffeine buzz, only to
feel sluggish later on, necessi-
tating another jolt. Its an end-
less cycle. Even more
troubling, energy drinks have
been linked to a number of
hospitalizations, even deaths in
recent years. While other fac-
tors may be at play in these in-
stances, excessive caffeine
consumption is certainly not
healthy.
Also, some teens believe that
consuming energy drinks is the
same as drinking Gatorade or
other sports drinks. Not so!
Most energy drinks dont con-

What would you do if you found $20,000?
When I was a youngster my mother often
read the ten commandments to me, emphasiz-
ing how these truths are all tied together.
For example, stealing may also infringe
upon the commandments teaching to tell the
truth and to not covet something that is not
mine. In other words, the breaking of one
commandment may well lead to breaking sev-
eral others, something we see in the illustra-
tion below.
In the fall of 2012, Bismark Mensah, a re-
cent immigrant to the U.S. from Ghana, was
working part-time job as a courtesy associ-
ate at a Wal-Mart near Seattle, Wash. As he
collected shopping carts, Bismark often found
personal items that customers had left behind
such as keys, credit cards and wallets.
But, on an October afternoon he spotted an
item that really grabbed his attention. It was a
white envelope with a clear window in the
middle that was bulging with cash. It was lots
of cash; like $20,000 in cash.
Mr. Mensah could have used some of that
cash. He came to the U.S. to study business
administration, so he could return to Ghana
and help his mom expand her five small seam-
stress shops. And, by making
$9.05 per hour at Wal-Mart, it will take him a
long time to fulfill that dream.
But, Mensah says he never considered keep-
ing the money. My conscience wouldnt
allow it, he said. I couldnt even drive home
if I did that. So, instead, he ran after the hus-
band and wife who had left the cash. As it
turns out, they were going to use the money
for a down payment on a house.
Mensah said, She was like, Wow! Tears are
coming out. She took some money and tried to
reward me.
I said, No, no. Im all right.
Mensah received Wal-Marts Integrity in
Action Award and a promotion. Now he
works full-time for $9.19 an hour, with bene-
fits.
But, for Mensah, the real rewards are more in-
ternal. He had this to say about his job: In the
parking lot, people chat, tell you their problems,
you see that a person is not happy. I tell them,
God is in control. Everything is okay.

tain the electrolytes and other
vital elements found in sports
beverages. If an athlete downs
an energy drink in the hope
of improving his game, hell
more likely end up dehydrated
and sick.
Should you ban your sons
energy drinks? Not necessarily,
but make sure hes not using
them in excess, or as a replace-
ment for a healthy, well-bal-
anced meal, or as a quick fix
for staying up too late the night
before a big test.

Lafarges Paulding plant installs bat
shelter in celebration of Earth Day
PAULDING To celebrate Earth Day, La-
farge North Americas Paulding cement plant in
Paulding mounted a bat shelter in one of the
plants several wildlife habitat areas.
As a site certified by the Wildlife Habitat
Council, we make it a priority to be aware of the
needs of our surrounding wildlife, says Tim
Weible, senior environmental manager at La-
farges Paulding plant. Bats are an essential part
of a balanced ecosystem. Building this shelter is
our response to the needs of a declining bat pop-
ulation.
Bats help control pests, such as mosquitoes,
and are also vital pollinators and seed-dispersers
for countless vegetation. However, in many
areas their habitats are being destroyed, leaving
no place for bats to nest and consequently, cre-
ating a critical gap in the regeneration of local
plant life.
By installing a bat shelter onsite, we hope to
attract more bats to the area and help restore the
bat population by providing a safe place to
roost, says Weible.
The Paulding site has multiple wildlife habitat
areas onsite, such as grass plains, a lake and
wildflowers, in order to preserve a natural habitat
for local wildlife and vegetation. Making more
durable cities and communities through sustain-
ability and environmental stewardship programs
like this is one of Lafarges key priorities. Local
initiatives, such as those put forth by the Pauld-
ing site, maintain this commitment and work to-
wards maintaining the environmental integrity
of Lafarge U.S.s operations.
Forgive. But Never Forget.
Indianas last known Holocaust survivor to speak in Paulding
PAULDING Where is the
God of Corrie Ten Boom? I do
not want that God. These
were the thoughts of a young
teenager during a time in our
worlds history that many
would choose to want to forget.
As part of the Centennial
Celebration series, the Pauld-
ing County Carnegie Library
presents an evening with
William Bill Meyer, the last
known Holocaust survivor in
the state of Indiana. This spe-
cial event will be held at 6 p.m.
Thursday, May 16 at the OSU
Extension Building at the
Paulding County Fairgrounds.
Bill Meyer, as a young boy,
was inspired by his neighbor,
Corrie Ten Boom, a devout
Christian. Ten Boom taught
Meyer that Jews, too, were
Gods children and needed pro-
tection from the evil Germans.
Meyer began delivering food
ration cards, IDs, false pass-
ports and other items to Jews
hiding all over the area. The
blonde, blue-eyed boy was
rarely questioned as he rode his
bicycle throughout the coun-
tryside.
After one of these trips he re-
turned to find the Gestapo at
Ten Booms store and found
her arrested. He was also
turned in by a traitor and even-
tually spent time in a concen-
tration camp. His family was
executed as retribution for his
crime.
Meyer, a dedicated Chris-
tian, has only within the past 15
years shared his horrific story.
He told Dr. James Dobson, in a
2011 radio interview, I did not
tell my family until recently.
Even my wife did not know the
details. But today, people do
not believe the camps existed,
and it makes me angry.
Meyer shares that he can tell
the words of what happened,
but you cannot convey the
hunger and the pain of the beat-
ings.
I have researched Bill
Meyers story, states Susan
Pieper, library director. It is
heart-wrenching and a power-
ful testimony to the strength of
Corrie Ten Boom and her mis-
sion to aid Jewish families. Mr.
Meyer was an accomplice in
her plan although motivated
by milk and cookies when he
began at age 9. Meyer, now in
his 80s, differs from Holocaust
survivor Inge Aubacher, whom
the library hosted a few years
ago, because he was not Jew-
ish. He was from a Christian
family, but his father was a
Nazi and he was raised to hate
the Jews.
Do not be the person that
uses a minor excuse to miss
this major event. It will be life
changing. All survivors of the
Holocaust worldwide will be
gone within a few short years.
Due to the graphic nature of
the speakers experience, this
event is not recommended for
children under the age of 12.
There will be an opportunity to
greet Meyer at the end of the
program.
Although this program is
free, please register in advance
to ensure a seat as space is lim-
ited. Call 419-399-2032 to re-
serve a spot for this
once-in-a-lifetime event.

VAN WERT 4, ANTWERP 1
After 13 days of dealing with rainy
weather and poor field conditions, the
Antwerp softball team traveled to Van
n SOFTBALL
Wert for a non-league contest
last Monday. A big two-out
error in the bottom of the first
led to three Van Wert runs
and the Archers found them-
selves scrambling to get
ahead.
In the top half of the sec-
ond, Antwerp led off with a
single followed by a stolen
base. Darian Bauer stepped to
the plate and delivered an
RBI double to move the
Archers within two at 3-1.
Both teams were held
scoreless until the 5th inning
when the Archers led off with
a single followed by two bunt
singles to load the bases with
no outs.
However, Klausing, the
Van Wert pitcher was able to
coax the top of the Antwerp
order into an infield fly, a
strikeout and a groundout to
the infield to end the threat.
Van Wert placed another run
at the plate on another Archer
miscue with two outs to
round out the scoring 4-1.
At the plate, the Archers
were led by Emily Derck and
Nikki Hughes with two sin-
gles a piece and Darian Bauer
with a double.
Kaiya Jemison suffered the
loss on the mound by allow-
ing four runs, none earned
while scattering 10 hits walk-
ing two and striking out two.
The loss dropped the Lady
Archers to 1-6 overall while
Van Wert improved to 6-3.

In a makeup that was sus-
pended from Tuesday, April

the blue and white winless in
league action.
Winning pitcher for
Fairview was Jared Elchinger
who gave up five Archer hits.
Derek Smalley went the dis-
tance for head coach Zac
Feasbys ball club allowing
seven hits, three runs while
striking out five in a losing
cause.
Antwerp managed five hits
in the contest with Trenton
Copsey picking up a two bag-
ger and a single and team-
mate Collin Perry adding two
singles and one RBI.
PAULDING 13, LINCOLNVIEW 6
Paulding recorded a 13-6
win over Lincolnview in
Northwest Conference action,
scoring in five of the first six
innings to post the victory.
The maroon and white
scored two runs each in the
first and second before
adding four each in the fourth
and sixth. Pauldings other
run came in the fifth.
Lincolnview got a pair of
runs in the first and added
four more in the second.
Michael Bauer had a single

the mound, allowing eight

ning five.
EDGERTON 5, ANTWERP 3
Last Thursday the Antwerp
Archer baseball squad battled
Edgerton with each team se-
curing seven hits, but it was
Edgerton who squeaked out
the 5-3 Green Meadows Con-
ference win.
Losing pitcher for the
Archers was Colton Ham-
man, giving up three hits and
two runs in two innings of
play while Andy Coleman
was on the mound for five in-
nings allowing four hits, two
runs, and one strike out.
Offensively it was Ham-
man, Coleman, and Derek
Smalley making noise at the
plate. Hamman totaled three
singles and two RBIs with
Coleman delivering two sin-

added a single and two runs
scored.

Javier Gonzales picked up
the win, scattering two hits,
five runs and six walks in two

single and a double. Treston
Gonzales also had a pair of
singles and Corbin Edwards
chipped in a single and a

only two walks while striking
out eight to lead the Cougars
to the victory as Van Wert
moved to 8-4 on the season.

Five-run third lifts Panthers
to win over Wayne Trace
By KEVIN
WANNEMACHER
Sportswriter
HAVILAND Wayne Trace and Paulding
hooked up in a county rivalry baseball
matchup at the home of the Raiders Friday af-
ternoon as each team looked to build some
momentum heading into the final week of play
before tournament draws.
Although the Panthers saw their first six hit-
ters retired in order, the maroon and white
plated five runs in the third inning and made
them the difference as the visiting Panthers
posted a 7-1 win over the Raiders.
Wayne Trace pitcher Colby Speice cruised
through the first two innings against the Pauld-
ing hitters, retiring six in a row and throwing
13 strikes out of his first 17 pitches.
However, the third inning was much differ-
ent.
Paulding sent 11 hitters to the plate, work-
ing Speice into 40 pitches in the inning, and
scored five runs en route to a 7-1 victory over
the rival Raiders.
Justin Adams led off the third for the Pan-
thers with a single to center before Gerod
Harder laid down a sacrifice bunt to move
Adams to second.
After Corbin Edwards drew a walk, Michael
Bauer doubled to center field to score Adams
and knot the game at 1-1. Javier Gonzales fol-
lowed with a single that plated Edwards and
put runners at the corners with Paulding on top
2-1.
Quentin Vance then reached on a Raider
error, scoring Bauer, before Speice struck out
Treston Gonzales for the second out. How-
ever, consecutive walks to Kyle Kauser and
Damon Egnor pushed the margin to 4-1.
Pauldings final run came when Vance scored
on a wild pitch to make it 5-1.
Colby threw the ball very well there for
two innings, noted Raider head coach Larry
Pressler. Then they got a couple of hits, we
misplayed some balls and they took advan-
tage. Its kind of the same story for us where
we have that one bad inning.
The Panthers added another run in the
fourth.
With one out, Bauer walked before Gonza-
les singled to right and advanced Bauer to
third. Bauer then scored on a Vance ground
ball that forced Gonzales at second.
Paulding got its final run in the fifth, thanks
to the hustle of Kauser.
Kauser reached on an infield single to start
the inning and stole second. Following a
strikeout of Egnor, Adams walked to put run-
ners on first and second.
Gerod Harder then popped out to Wayne
Trace first baseman Marcus McVay in foul ter-
ritory down the right field line. While McVay
made an over the shoulder catch, Kauser
tagged and hustled to third to put runners on
the corners with two outs.
The Panthers took advantage when Edwards
reached on an infield single to score Kauser
and make it 5-1.
Overall, we played good defense, contin-
ued Pressler. But we have to figure out a way
to generate offense. We are really struggling
to come up with hits right now.
Wayne Trace got both of its hits in the first.
Cade Harvey opened the home half of the in-
ning with a single to right. After T.J. Blackmore
flied out to right, Colby Speice singled to center
to advance Harvey to third. After Andy Hicks
grounded out, Harvey scored on a wild pitch to
put the Raiders on the board first. Egnor escaped
further damage by striking out Aaron Stoller.
From there, Egnor dominated the Wayne
Trace offense. The Panther hurler faced only
22 batters over the final six innings, including
retiring the final 11 hitters in a row.
Egnor finished the afternoon with ten strike-
outs while allowing only two hits and two
walks to get the win.
Adams reached base three times for the Pan-
thers, recording a single and two walks. Bauer
added a double with Javier Gonzales getting
two singles. Vance, Kauser and Edwards also
had singles.
Speice took the loss, giving up seven hits,
seven walks and four earned runs in six in-
nings of work while fanning four. Marcus
McVay worked the seventh for Wayne Trace,
retiring the Panthers in order and striking out
two.

Survey: Paulding-Putnam Electric
among lowest rates in Ohio
PAULDING Paulding-Putnam Electric
Cooperative has earned the distinction of
being one of the lowest cost providers of elec-
tricity in Ohio.
A recent independent survey of rates from
all types and sizes of utilities across the state
showed Paulding-Putnam to have lowest rates
among electric cooperatives, in addition to
having a rate structure competitive with large
investor-owned power companies.
This is quite an achievement for a member-
owned and nonprofit electric co-op, serving in
mainly rural areas where households per mile
of line are fewer and commercial-industrial
load less than in urban areas.
In fact, the survey published April 7 by the
Columbus Dispatch showed Paulding-Put-
nams monthly bill for 1,000 kilowatt-hours
(kWh) of electricity to be lower than Ohio
Power Company, an American Electric Power
(AEP) subsidiary with more than 600,000
consumers.
The Ohio Power Company bill cited in the
survey was $129.38, while Paulding-Putnams
charge for the same amount of electricity was
$116.08.
According to the survey, Paulding-Putnams
1,000-kWh bill also was lowest among Ohios
24 other electric co-ops, many of them larger
and with more commercial-industrial load.
The Dispatch survey ranked power compa-
nies, municipal utilities and electric co-ops.
The range of rates showed the disparity be-
tween urban service territories, where house-
hold density is high and demand for electricity
is great from businesses and industries, and
rural settings, where consumers and revenue
per mile of line are less and operational and
maintenance overheads are higher due to dis-
tance and terrain.
For example, electric co-ops in Ohio serve
40 percent of the states landmass, but average
only seven members per mile of line. Investor-
owned electric utilities average 31 consumers
per mile.
Our rates are very competitive, said
Paulding-Putnam manager George Carter.
We have worked hard to hold the line and be-
come as efficient as possible.
With 13,000 co-op members spread over
1,700 miles of line in two states and only 38
total employees to serve them Paulding-Put-
nam has proven a commitment to controlling
costs and pursuing efficiency at every level.
This was done without sacrificing safety or
service.
For several years, we have managed to
hold the line by exploiting operational savings
and implementing smart fiscal policy. The co-
ops board of trustees challenged management
and our employees to find ways to do more
with less during a very difficult economic pe-
riod, Carter said.
The national recession pinched power sales
and lowered revenues while the cost of
wholesale electricity increased by an average
of $20 per month due to completion of $1 bil-
lion in environmental upgrades at the power
plants supplying co-ops in Ohio,
Carter said Paulding-Putnam found ways to
cope without adjusting distribution rates,
thereby fulfilling its commitment to the mem-
bership and community. Remaining competi-
tive, however, means reviewing the rate
structure and costs of service to keep the co-
op fiscally sound and able to maintain a high-
level of service reliability.
Our commitment remains unchanged. We
intend to remain competitive from a rate and
quality service perspective. In order to do so,
some adjustment will be necessary based on
detailed analyses of our current costs and
strategic goals, Carter explained.
We will continue to look out for the best
interests of our members, as Paulding-Putnam
has done in the past. We accomplished our
purpose of wringing out all the cost savings
possible. As a result, even one of the states
largest and most influential newspapers rec-
ognized our efforts, he said.
COMMUNITY WORK DAY SCHEDULED AT FAIRGROUNDS Saturday, May 4, starting at 9 a.m.,
the Paulding County Junior and Senior fair boards, along with 4-H clubs, are holding their annual
work day at the fairgrounds. These organizations will be conducting numerous projects, from
painting to helping with the beautification of the fairgrounds by planting flowers and landscaping.
If you or your organization would like to help prepare the fairgrounds for the 2013 Paulding County
Fair June 10-15, please contact the OSU Extension Office at 419-399-8225 or Tim Shafer at 419-
769-1411. Pictured above are members of Doe-C-Doe 4-H Club helping with clean up during the
work day last year.
DAY OF CARING Students from Paulding High School National Honor Society participated
in the United Way of Paulding County Day of Caring on Saturday, April 27 in Payne and Paulding.
More than 12 bags of trash were collected in Paulding and four participants were transported to
Payne to work in the park with Master Gardener Sandy Burkley. Students were treated to a donut
at Susies Family Bakery after all of their hard work. Antwerps Day of Caring will be held Saturday,
May 4. What a great example of living united.

Watershed is ours
to take care of
By Mark Holtsberry
Education specialist
Paulding SWCD
Watershed. The general population has
heard of this term, or have they? This word
seems to be the main topic of interest these
days in Paulding County.
A watershed is all the land area that con-
tributes runoff to a particular body of water. It
is a catch basin that guides all the precipitation
and runoff into a specific river system. A wa-
tershed is the geographic locus of a water-dri-
ven dynamic that affects all living and
non-living things within its boundaries.
Watersheds come in many different shapes
and sizes and have many different features.
Watersheds can have hills or mountains or be
nearly flat. They can have farmland, range-
land, small towns and big cities. Parts of your
watershed may be so rough, rocky or marshy
that theyre suited only for certain trees, plants
and wildlife.
Part of the natural process of a watershed is
self-destructive. The rivers that give it its form
are engaged in the gradual erosion and wear-
ing down of the highlands that contain it. The
key here is gradual, part of natural dynamic
balance. Most natural erosion is a gradual
process. Recent intensive watershed use and
impact by people has led to increased degra-
dation of watershed quality.
Human settlement began to affect the grad-
ual rate at which watersheds erode and other
conditions within watershed through actions
such as land clearing, farming and industrial
development.
Patterns of consumption vary from water-
shed to watershed, but the quality of water in
most watersheds has deteriorated during the
past 200 years. Contaminants may be the re-
sult of natural processes that have been accel-
erated, like soil erosion or human activities. A
range of materials including nutrients as well
as toxins, found anywhere in a watershed, will
eventually show up in the waterways and
water cycle.
Both agriculture and industry use water
commercially. Both release water back into
the watershed that has been altered by their
use. Fertilizers and pesticides are the major
sources of agricultural contamination. Indus-
trial wastewater can contain a wide range of
contaminants from oil and PCBs to mercury
and radioactive wastes.
Now, I dont believe we will find those
ranges or contaminations here in our county
watershed system, but as citizens of this
county, we all need to be aware of our sur-
roundings. There are many things you and
your farming operation can do to keep your
watershed healthy and productive. To learn
what you can do to take care of your water-
shed, call our local Natural Resources Conser-
vation Service (NRCS) office.
