past 12 years, Jim Lopshire
has made the decision to retire

time with them.
Lopshire and his wife,
Sylvia, have a daughter and a

Chance for Chase benefit set for June 29
By NANCY WHITAKER
Progress Staff Writer
PAYNE A benefit will be held on
June 29 for Chase Holt, son of Chris
and Megan Holt of Payne. Chase has
been diagnosed with Neuro fibro -
matosis Type 2, for which there is no
known cure. Neurofibromatosis Type
2 is a disorder characterized by the
growth of noncancerous tumors in the
nervous system.
To help with medical expenses, a
benefit is being held on June 29. There
will be a dinner, concert, bake sale and
silent auction at the American Legion
Hall in Payne and then following on
Aug. 10 there will be a poker run, fun
run and scavenger hunt at Goodtimes
Saloon.
Chase Holt was born March 7, 2007
and appeared to be a normal little
baby, but at a couple months old his
parents noticed symptoms of some-
thing. The first symptom was a lazy,
wandering eye.
Megan said, Being first time par-
ents we werent really sure what was
considered normal in a childs devel-
opment, so some time had passed be-
fore we really decided to see a doctor.
Again, this was something we
thought he may grow out of as his
muscles matured. It seemed to im-
prove a little, but it was really notice-
able when he would become tired.
At the age of 1, we took him to see
an ophthalmologist since this was his
first and only symptom. The doctor
wanted us to patch his good eye so
hed be forced to use and strengthen
his weak eye muscles.
As you can probably imagine, itd
be very difficult to patch a 1-year-olds
eye, so this didnt pan out too well. We
decided just to give his development
some more time and see if it improved
since the doctor didnt really seem too
concerned about him. It has since im-
proved and rarely noticeable.
However, when Chase was about 3
years old and could really talk and
communicate, he started to complain
of leg pain. Megan said, With him
being so young, we didnt know if his
legs were really hurting or if they were
asleep and he was getting the two feel-
ings mixed up.
Chase continued to complain of leg
pain off and on for almost a year. His
parents decided it was time they take
him to a doctor. They were referred to
a neurologist who decided that with
Chases wondering eye and leg pain,
they should consider getting an MRI.
Megan continued, We agreed. It
was March 2011 when we received
those results. They showed Chase had
scar tissue on his left hemisphere. This
would indicate a possible stroke is
what we were told. Chase Holt has been diagnosed
with Neurofibromatosis Type 2. There
is no known cure for the disease.

FORT BROWN The Fort Brown
Bicentennial is set to begin at 10 a.m. June 29
and the program will have a patriotic theme.
The Jacob Stemple Chapter Daughters of the
War of 1812 and the Oakwood community will
be commemorating days over 200
years ago when soldiers of the
War of 1812 served here
under one flag. The United
States flag in 1812 had
15 stars and 15 stripes;
and was the official
flag of the United
States from 1795 until
1818.
Guests to the Fort
Brown celebration are
invited to dress in pe-
riod costumes to lend
atmosphere to the set-
ting. Attendees are also
asked to bring lawn chairs with
them to the event.
The Oakwood Community Band will be
playing patriotic music and flags will be carried
by the American Legion, Boy Scouts and color
guard.
The speaker for the day will be Richard
Rozevink of Defiance. Rozevink researched
and identified the soldiers of the War of 1812
and those who lost their lives serving with
General Winchester in northwest Ohio.
The Daughters of the War of 1812 will be
placing a granite bench made by Homiers
Monumental of Defiance at the site. The bench
will offer visitors a place to sit and reflect on the
patriotism, courage and willingness of those
soldiers who sacrificed their time away from
their famines to serve this nation.
A wreath laying will be also be a part of the
program. The Laying of a Wreath is a time of
remembrance and respect that is
given for the sacrifices of the sol-
diers who served here as well
as all American veterans.
The Daughters of the
War of 1812 will be
laying a wreath and
local Daughters of the
American Revolution
have been invited to
take part in the ceremo-
ny. There are DAR
chapters in Paulding,
Defiance and Van
Wert counties. Other
groups are also invited to
take part in the ceremony.
Fort Brown is set on the
banks of the confluence of the Auglaize and the
Little Auglaize rivers. The fort is still in a quiet,
rural setting with both rivers visible from the
1812 monument placed at the site in 1953.
Following the ceremonies at Fort Brown, the
Oakwood community will be offering a typical
1812 meal to guests along the Auglaize River at
the Oakwood Community Park.
The Oakwood and Melrose communities
have offered their help and talents to the days
activities.

PAYNE Two emergency
resolutions, a sewer payment,
and a bridge inspection report
were part of the Payne Village
Councils agenda on Monday.
Council agreed to pay the
scheduled payment of
$23,637.81 to engineering
firm Feller-Finch for their
work on the Laura Street
sewer project.
The Ohio Department of
Transportation reported the
bridge over Flat Rock Creek
and Graham Foster Ditch are
both in satisfactory condition.
Following the suspension of
the rules, council unanimously
passed a motion to accept
Resolution 2013-O approving
an easement and right-of-way
for American Electric for elec-
tricity to serve the Verizon
tower.
As an emergency, Reso -
lution 2013-P to amend esti-
mated certification with audi-
tor to amend additional appro-
priations for the sewer fund
was passed unanimously.
Deputy Fiscal Officer
Cheryl Halter reported to
council that in her research, a
handicapped parking space
was permitted according to a
meeting held on December 13,
2010 near the location of the
former Sohio station. At this
time it was agreed to relocate
the handicapped space at the
location of Menos House of
Pancakes, 106-108 S. Main St.
In other business, Police
Chief Rodney Miller dis-
cussed five properties in viola-
tion of having high weeds. He
has taking action with each
property owner. In the mean-
time, at least six additional
areas were brought to his at-
tention at the council meeting.
Miller will continue to contact
property owners and if neces-
sary, owners will be sited ac-
cording to the village ordi-
nance.
Miller reported that a new
camera was needed for the po-
lice department. As a budgeted
item, Miller plans to purchase
a new camera at a cost of ap-
proximately $500.
EMS director Joe Garmyn
reported 15 runs were made
during the month of May; for
the year to date, 72 runs have
been made.
A Chance for Chase benefit
at Payne American Legion
PAYNE A benefit will be held from 8 a.m.-11 p.m.
Saturday, June 29 at the American Legion in Payne to help
raise funds for the Chase Holt family for any medical bills,
transportation, lodging, food and any other expenses that will
be incurred as a result of Chases condition.
There will be appearances by the Fort Wayne Comets and
Icy D. Eagle, a hog roast, silent auction, cornhole tournament,
live bands including Spike and the Bulldogs, golf outing and
much more.
Volunteers are still needed to assist with the set-up, the golf
scramble, silent auction, running the inflatables, the cornhole
tournament and clean-up.
A meeting will be held at 1 p.m. Sunday, June 23 in the
Fellowship Hall of the Payne Church of the Nazarene for
those who would like to volunteer.
A Facebook page called A Chance for Chase has been
set-up. Everyone is encouraged to Like the page and share
with others.
day well never forget. The
neurologist and the neurosur-
geon wheeled a computer into
our room with Chases films
on the screen to show us. We
knew at this time it wasnt
going to be good. Luckily, the
hospital had some wonderful
volunteers that took Chase
down the hall to play, so we
could focus on what we were
being told.
The MRI and tests showed
that Chase had a large tumor
compressing his spinal cord in
his neck. He also had a mass
of multiple tumors going
down his left arm, which is
causing his limited mobility. It
was at this point that the Holts
discovered why the neurosur-
geon was in the room.
The tumor in his neck had to
come out and soon. This was
April 2. On April 15, Chase
had his surgery. The surgery
was 7.5 hours long. Both sets
of grandparents and Chases
aunt and uncle were present
with the family.
This was also the day of
the Boston bombings.
Definitely a day we wont for-
get, continued Megan. It
wasnt until after surgery we
learned that Chase not only
had one tumor compressing
his spinal cord, but two golf-
ball-size tumors.
The second wasnt seen on
the MRI originally and it was-
nt until the surgeon got in
there that it was noticed.
Chase is still recovering and
now in physical therapy to try
and gain muscle and move-
ment back in his left arm.
Unfortunately, the tumors in
his arm have taken over his
brachial plexus preventing the
biceps growth. The family was
told that it would do more
harm than good if the tumors
were removed. At this time,
the family is doing everything
they can to get his arm back.
His other tumors will be re-
moved as they become prob-
lematic.
Chase has not been given a
prognosis. NF is such an un-
predictable disease and each
case is different. This could be
a good or a bad thing. Chases
sports activities have been lim-
ited. He is not to be involved
in contact sports at this time.
He is also supposed to limit his
running and is not allowed to
rough house which is was one
of his favorite things to do
with dad. Especially since he
is a huge WWE fan.
Chase was very upset when
he learned he wouldnt be able
to play baseball this year. His
dad is the coach of the team so
Chase was promoted to assis-
tant coach. It wasnt until re-
cently that dad put Chase out
in the outfield where many tee
ball players cant hit the ball,
just so he could play.
Chase, a kindergartner, only
went to school for a short time
but Megan said, He had a
wonderful teacher, Miss
Bethany Hughes, who was so
kind and came to the house to
home school him.
Chases illness has
changed our lives dramatical-
ly. We have a different outlook
on life now. We have also
found our way back to the
church and couldnt be more
excited about it. Its amazing
how God works and even
though we dont understand it,
we feel God has a lot of good
things in store for Chase.

Safety commission to study U.S. 24 intersections
By JIM LANGHAM
Feature Writer
PAULDING Paulding County
Commissioner Chairman Fred Pie -
per said that he has received infor-
mation from ODOT District One
Deputy Kirk Slusher indicating the
appointment of a safety commis-
sion to study various intersections
of U.S. 24 in Paulding County, in
the wake of fatal accidents along
the stretch over the past year.
Members of the commission will
include Paulding County Sheriff
Jason Landers, a representative of
the Federal Highway Admin -
istration, an Ohio State Patrol rep-
resentative, an EMS representa-
tive, a representative from a public
transportation business, and a rep-
resentative from the Paulding
County commissioners.
Kirk called me and told me that
he had received a call from the of-
fice of Governor John Kasich in-
structing him to look into the mat-
ter, said Slusher. He said that as
a result he is initiating a safety
audit in Paulding County.
The audit will be looking at the
history of every single accident in-
volving the new U.S. 24 in
Paulding County, said Pieper.
We will review all data and go to
the intersection and look for any
factors that might be contributing
to the accidents. We will look to
see if there are any obstructions, if
there is anything about the con-
struction of the intersection.
Pieper said that once the study is
complete, the commission will
make recommendations to ODOT
as to what it feels might help alle-
viate the problem, such as new sig-
nage, flashing stop signs and other
potential helping factors.
Pieper said that discussion was
initiated when a representative
from the governors office, Chase
Francis, recently visited the com-
missioners office to dialogue
about anything the statehouse
might be able to do to help in
Paulding County.
The matter of concerns about
U.S. 24 and the accidents weve
experienced in this county became
part of the discussion, Pieper said.
We told her that weve had dis-
cussion with the county engineer,
but much of what could be done
involving safety is on state proper-
ty.
We asked her if there was any-
thing the state could do to help us
out, continued Pieper. It was just
a few days after that that Kirk
called and said he had received a
call from the governors office.
Pieper said that other discussion
with Francis included the states
slashing of local government fund-
ing. He said the commissioners re-
alized there would be cuts, but
local officials feel the cuts were
disproportionate compared to
budget cuts for other agencies.
We asked her if there was any
chance of restoring that back, said
Pieper. She asked us if there was
any chance that we could consoli-
date services and we told her that
we had already done all that we
could possibly do in that area.
environmental agriculture science teacher at
Paulding High School.
I have always had a place in my heart for
agriculture. My dad was in that business; he
undoubtedly shaped my future, observed
Lopshire.
Following graduation from Payne High
School, he attended St. Francis University in
Fort Wayne and majored in biological sci-
ences. His goal had always been to teach and
coach. On the athletic side, he became in-
volved with officiating in the early 1970s and
has been calling balls and strikes and refereed
basketball ever since.
When Lopshire switched from teaching to
Extension agent in 2001, he saw it as an op-
portunity to continue working in education and
remain in the agricultural field.
It gave me an opportunity to work with
farmers in the area, said Lopshire. It offered
me the chance to address farmers and home-
owners with their agricultural and horticultur-
al questions. I have spent over 50 years work-
ing in the agricultural field. It is definitely in
my blood; it is something I enjoy very much.
Lopshire said that recently a 9-year-old told
him how much she enjoys planting seeds and
watching plants grow.
Not everyone has the talent to plant that
seed, said Lopshire. When she said that, it
summarized what I enjoy about agriculture.
Lopshire said that the most rewarding aspect
of his profession has been that of working with
people.
They come into the office looking for an-
swers and I have the opportunity to assist
them, said Lopshire.
Ive always enjoyed the network of spe-
cialists Ive had the chance to work with, con-
tinued Lopshire. That intercommunication is
very important. They would give me informa-
tion to help others and at times, I attempted to
give information that would help them.
I have appreciated working with and get-
ting to know office personnel over the years,
but regret that I am the only one remaining
who was here in 2001, said Lopshire. When
EMA and Soil and Water moved in, it was very
beneficial for all offices involved. It enabled us
to have someone in the office most of the time
to help out, especially with reductions in office
staff. We help each other and work together.
Its been nice to have such a variety of knowl-
edge in the office.
I would like to thank the community for
their support over the years. Through their
support, the Extension office has remained
open to allow us the opportunity to continue to
serve the public, said Lopshire.
I appreciate the newspaper for allowing me
to entire homes on a weekly basis, continued
Lopshire. It has been a valuable tool in pro-
viding information to the people in the coun-
ty.
Lopshire said that to continue to serve the
county while the process of hiring a new agent
gets under way, the Paulding County Master
Gardeners will be in the office on Tuesday
mornings from 9 a.m.-noon to answer horti-
culture questions.
This will be a good time to bring samples
to the office for the group to examine, said
Lopshire.
Lopshire advised that residents can also
contact Curtis Young, Van Wert OSU
Extension educator, at 419-238-1214 with in-
sect questions. For agriculture and farm man-
agement questions, Bruce Clevenger, Defiance
County OSU Extension educator, will be
available at 419-782-4771. Jim Hoorman,
Putnam County OSU Extension educator is a
good source for cover crop questions. His of-
fice number is 419-523-6294.
Paulding County has continued to support
the Paulding County Extension program
which has remained an active and integral part
of the county. Thank you for allowing me to be
part of that experience, said Lopshire.
The neurologist felt it was
something that probably hap-
pened at or around birth since
it was considered acute.
Evidently, its not uncommon
in children. From there, his
neurologist really did a thor-
ough exam and discovered he
had hypotonia. (weak muscle
tone).
Chase was then admitted
into occupational and physical
therapy. About a year had
passed and the situation
calmed down. Chase didnt re-
ally show anymore symptoms
and seemed to live life like a
normal child his age. He was
discharged from therapy and
continued life as if nothing
was wrong.
It wasnt until Easter week-
end of 2013 while playing in
the annual basketball
marathon that symptoms pre-
sented themselves again.
During his game, his par-
ents noticed his left arm was-
nt moving the same as his
right arm while playing.
As he would run, his left
arm would just hang at his
side. Once his parents noticed
this, they pulled him off the
court to get a good look. His
arm was cold to the touch.
Megan commented, I
asked him to squeeze my fin-
gers. He couldnt. He couldnt
even move his arm. He just
looked at it. You could tell his
brain was sending the signal to
move, but it wouldnt.
The Holts then took Chase
to a hospital in Fort Wayne.
They couldnt figure out what
the problem was and ruled out
another stroke. He was diag-
nosed with a localized injury
and discharged.
The next day was Easter,
noted Megan. While Easter
egg hunting, we noticed again,
his arm wasnt moving. When
he tried to move it, it was a
very jerky, awkward move-
ment. His arm had become
cold again. It was at this time
we decided we werent wast-
ing anymore time and headed
to Dayton Childrens hospital.
Thank goodness we did.
Chase was admitted and the
next day he was given yet an-
other MRI and further testing
was done. It wasnt until the
next day the family received
those results.
Megan said, This was a

Library Centennial event
Library event to feature
Abe Lincoln, Mark Twain
PAULDING Back by pop-
ular demand is nationally ac-
claimed performer Dave Ehlert,
of Branson, Mo. He will per-
form a 90-minute theatrical
drama as both Mark Twain and
Abraham Lincoln in Abe Lin-
coln, Mark Twain & the Civil
War.
This free event will be per-
formed at 6 p.m. Tuesday, June
18 at the OSU Extension Build-
ing located on the Paulding
County Fairgrounds. Call the li-
brary at 419-399-2032 to re-
serve a seat. Light refreshments
will be served.
Ehlert began performing in
1967 as Elvis in what has be-
come the longest running Elvis
tribute show in the world. He
has been featured on television
shows including Oprah,
CNN Showbiz and CBS
Nightwatch, and he was also
the first performer inducted into
the Worldwide Elvis Per-
formers Hall of Fame.
Seven years ago, the sea-
soned performer began concen-
trating his efforts on his
portrayal of Mark Twain. Ehlert
has since perfected his Mark
Twain character and he even
performed as Twain in May
2012 as the first event in the li-
brarys Centennial Celebration
series.
Since then, he added a por-
trayal of Abe Lincoln to his
repertoire, which is sure to de-
light and educate audience
members.
Ehlert said those who attend
the performance can expect an
evening of historical drama,
humor and education to illus-
trate how a Union President and
a Confederate deserter fought
against slavery and racism in
pre- and post-Civil War days.
Would your child
dig a Pet Rock?
PAULDING Do you

so, be sure to bring them to

The theme for the day, I
Dig Uunder the Earth, will
include stories, activities,
treats and a craft where they

Sheriffs Report
Reader passionate
about dog situation
Dear Editor,
Nancy Morse made a lot
of great points. (See letters
to the editor, June 5).
Perhaps I should explain
why I am so passionate
about the dog warden situa-
tion. Mr. Zartman had a
complete page to give his
ideas and reasons.
I never felt, nor have I
ever heard from anyone, that
the dog warden was such a
low-down job. That harkens
back to the days of The
Dog Catcher.
Mr. Zartman said he has
talked to a lot of dog war-
dens all of whom were like-
minded. How far back did he
go?
I am 82 years old and
have seen dog wardens come
and go. Do you remember
the dog catcher that had an
old black car with 2x4s that
ran under the back of the car
with a dog box built out of
2x4s and hardware cloth?
When he had enough dogs
to cram in that box, he
would take them to Defiance
Fertilizer Plant, tie them to
his back bumper and put a
.38 bullet in their head.
There would be a pile of
dead dogs piled up with
dead cows and horses and
etc. This is not gossip, I saw
it myself.
Also someone had
dumped three puppies at my
house. I already had two
dogs, so for the first time, I
called the dog catcher and
asked him to pick up the
puppies.
When I came home from
work the next evening, his
truck was parked on the cor-
ner of my road. As I started
to try and get past him, I saw
he was holding up one of the
puppies up in the air by its
hind legs and he was beating
its head with a piece of fire-
place wood.
I said, What are you
doing?
He replied, This is
cheaper than a bullet.
I cried the rest of the way
home at how those three
puppies were beaten to
death. I also heard this same
man shot dogs in front of
kids. That is a dog catcher.
At one time we had a hu-
mane society here and I was
a member. The dog kennel
was a poor excuse and
poorly run. We were not al-
lowed to buy extra food for
them to keep them long
enough for someone to claim
them.
The commissioners and
the dog warden worked well
together to keep us out. One
of the members took pictures
of the dogs and put them up
at Chiefs. That was stopped
too.
I understand that the com-
missioners had to let the hu-
mane officer go because
they couldnt afford $300 a
year to pay him.
We have had some good
dog wardens who cared
about the dogs and their
owners. We have also had
some bad ones.
I went to the dog kennel
about four dog wardens ago,
looking for a watch dog. I
found a good-looking fe-
male, one that I thought
would make a good watch
dog.
The dog warden told me
to take her home with me
and not bring her back until
Monday. They told me that
the commissioners were
coming and if they saw her,
he would have to put her
down as she had been there
too long. I kept her 14 years.
I believe our dog warden,
Mrs. Dyson, is respected and
appreciated. Whenever I
have seen her, she has acted
very professional. I think
folks would be more intimi-
dated by a deputy.
Did I understand that Ms.
Dyson was a deputy? Then
get her in a uniform with a
badge, gun and cuffs.
Does anyone know the
difference between personal
and personnel? I understand
Ms. Dyson is a combat vet.
If that is true, Im sure she
can handle any situation.
We have men and women
in harms way, supposedly to
guarantee our freedoms. I
have a son dying from the
effects of agent orange after
serving 33 months in Vietnam
in a Special Forces Operation,
LRRP.
I also have a grandson who
was in the first Gulf War and
in Afghanistan Special Ops
hunting Bin Laden. He is also
100 percent disabled.
Why am I telling this?
They and all the rest have
bought me the right to speak
up.

In My Opinion
Counting blessings
There is an old hymn called, Count Your Blessings and
Name Them One By One. There are so many things in life
we take for granted. Stop and think about some of them.
There is the water we drink, the food we eat, our homes,
schools, hospitals, jobs, churches, cars, and so much more.
To me these things are blessings. But, on the other hand,
there are so many small blessings we see every day that may
not be noticed.
Just look at that beautiful moon, I have said many, many
times. I have also made the
comment, Just think for
billions of years, we have
all watched the same
moon. I still am in awe of
that moon God created.
However, there was a
time when I did not notice
a lot of little things that
turned out to be small
blessings. At that time, I was living a very busy lifestyle and
it was while suffering a life threatening illness in 1998, I
began to notice and appreciate things in my life.
For instance, I listened more closely to the birds, noticing
that each kind of bird sings a different song, but when all are
singing together it is a resounding chorus of each bird doing
their own part.
I saw that each flower had its own unique beauty and
color, but when put all together make a beautiful bouquet. I
looked at an ant hill and thought about how hard they
worked, laboriously carrying heavy food particles to help
their colony survive. I enjoyed just sitting on the swing on
my front porch. It was from here that I could see children
riding bicycles, hear the crack of a bat hitting the ball at a
ball game and hear the sounds of children laughing.
I could also smell the aroma of fresh cut grass as the
neighbors mowed their lawn and I breathed in that smoky
smell coming from a grill as someone cooked hamburgers.
So many times, we dont seem to have time for our small
blessings we take as always being there.
I know, I know. We would all love to win the lottery or
strike it rich, but there is no way any amount of money can
replace lifes little blessings that makes the world what it is
today. We only live one time on this earth, so take the time to
smell the roses, listen to the birds sing and go look at the
moon at night. You will be glad you did.

Opinion

Whitaker
County Court
Burkley introduces bill to
modify financing of certain
infrastructure projects
COLUMBUS State Rep-
resentative Tony Burkley (R-
Payne) today introduced
legislation that would make
changes to how local infra-
structure projects are funded
by providing property owners
with the option of not having
their property included as part
of a Tax Increment Financing
(TIF) district.
Tax Increment Financing al-
lows local governments to sell
bonds, borrowing against in-
creased property tax revenues
in the future in order to fund
an infrastructure project that
will attract a business or en-
able the building of new facil-
ities. Under current law, if a
piece of property is part of a
particular TIF district, addi-
tional TIF financing is not
available until the original
bonds are paid for.
This legislation, House
Bill 198, would allow property
owners to opt out of a TIF dis-
trict in order to preserve the
value of their property, Rep.
Burkley said.
By providing this option,
the property owners can be
sure that TIF financing will be
available to improve their im-
mediate parcel of land, rather
than helping to finance proj-
ects near a business down the
road that could be competing
with their own. This gives
them a say.
A parcel TIF uses only the
increased value of one parcel
of land to fund improvements,
unlike a district TIF, which
uses the increased value of
multiple properties as its fund-
ing source.
House Bill 198 is being joint
sponsored with Rep. Jim Butler
(R-Oakwood) and will soon be
referred to the appropriate
House standing committee for
further consideration.

Wayne Trace piloting
on-line learning lab
In response to the ever-expanding on-line learning options
available and the increasing interest in such programs from
high school students, Wayne Trace Local Schools is piloting
an on-line learning lab for students in grades 7-12 for the 2013-
2014 school year.
The on-line lab is tentatively named the Wayne Trace Digital
Academy School.
This on-line learning program will provide instruction for
students who either have not been successful in the regular
classroom or might benefit from the flexibility that on-line in-
struction offers.
Students currently enrolled in out-of-district Internet schools
may be interested in receiving on-line instruction as full-
fledged Wayne Trace students.
For example, a student enrolled in ECOT or another similar
public Internet school, will be able to continue the on-line
schooling that they prefer, but remain/become a Wayne Trace
student for all other purposes, including but not limited to, be-
coming eligible to participate in the many co-curricular and
extracurricular offerings provided by a public school district.
Classes will also be available to students interested in on-
line high school and college classes not offered as part of the
regular Wayne Trace JH/HS curriculum.
A dedicated classroom will be designed to accommodate on-
line learning during the school day in the Wayne Trace JH/HS
building. The lab will be supervised, and a staff member will
serve as the advisor and coordinator for all on-line learners.
Students who choose to work from home will still have the op-
tion to do so with the added benefits of accessing the onsite
learning lab if and when preferred. The lab can also offer such
programs as ACT prep classes, credit recovery classes, AP
classes, and perhaps even summer school and other make-up
classes.
The Wayne Trace Digital Academy School will provide an
educational option to students and families who prefer the flex-
ibility that the Internet offers and also expand and supplement
the current Wayne Trace JH/HS curriculum.
Former guidance counselor, David Alt, will serve as the pro-
grams director and will supervise the program on a part-time
basis. A part-time classroom aide will assist Mr. Alt with daily
supervision/facilitation.
Students and parents interested in this program are highly
encouraged to contact Alt at the Wayne Trace office at 419-
399-4100 ext. 207) or by e-mail altd@wt.k12.oh.us.

In The
Garden
By
Kylee Baumle
When an annual
acts like a perennial
The title is a little mislead-
ing, in that a perennial is de-
fined as a plant that dies above
the ground during cold weather
and grows back from the roots
in spring. An annual doesnt
survive winter at all. But what
about all those annuals that
seem to survive year after
year?
You know the ones; poppies,
snapdragons, cosmos and even
lettuce manages to make an ap-
pearance. Even though you
didnt plant them this spring,
there they are, sometimes in
greater numbers than you
planted the year before.
Theres a long list of annuals
that are notorious for self-seed-
ing. After theyve bloomed, if
theyve been pollinated by in-
sects or the wind, and you
dont cut the spent blooms off,
theyll form seed pods and
once those have matured,
theyll pop open and disperse
their seed to the ground below.
Sometimes that seed will lay
there for months, doing noth-
ing until the next spring. These
are usually the seeds that need
stratification a period of cold
(generally between 34 and
41) and wet that causes the
seed to eventually break
through its seed coat and begin
growing (germination). The
time it needs to be subjected to
these conditions varies, but two
months is usually sufficient for
most seeds.
This self-seeding can be a
desirable thing or it can be
downright annoying. In my
own garden, I grow Northern
Sea Oats (Chasmanthium lati-
folium). Its a beautiful orna-
mental grass which forms
gorgeous herringbone seed
heads. I love seeing them first
green, and then as the grass
dies in fall, the golden color is
just as beautiful as they wave
in the breeze.
But wait too long before cut-
ting them off, and youre going
to have Northern Sea Oats here,
there and everywhere. And a
gazillion little grass seedlings
are not fun to pull up. Anyone
who has Washington Hawthorn
trees or burning bushes (Euony-
mus alatus) growing on their
property knows the pain of un-
wanted self-seeding, too. The
latter is on the invasive species
list in our state.
Sometimes those seedlings
can be a happy surprise. Annual
poppies are one of a few things
I allow to grow where they will.
Others are Brazilian verbena
(Verbena bonariensis), which
the butterflies adore; Love-In-
A-Mist (Nigella damascena),
Cosmos sulphureus (wonderful
shades of yellow and orange),
and petunias.
I remember my dad being out
at our house one time several
years ago and seeing a petunia
that had sprung up between the
bricks of our front walkway, he
bent down to pull it out. I
stopped him because theres just
something charming about a
flower that I didnt plant appear-
ing in an unlikely spot that pre-
vents me from doing away with
it until it flowers. Youve just
got to admire the gumption of a
seed like that.
Most times, an annual is an
annual. Except when you let it
pretend to be a perennial. If you
dont want it coming back, be
sure to cut the flowers off before
it produces seeds.

HIALEAH, FL An ingredi-
ent often used to treat inflamma-
tion in racehorses legs, is now
back on the market in its original
doctor recommended formula.
According to a national drug
store survey, the formula at one
time became so popular that it rose
to the top of pharmacy sales for
topical pain relievers. But the com-
pany marketing the product at the
time changed the formula and sales
plummeted. One of the inventors
of the original formula has brought
it back to the market under the
trade name ARTH ARREST and
says it can relieve pain for millions.
ARTH ARREST works by a
dual mechanism whereby one in-
gredient relieves pain immediately,
while a second ingredient seeks out
and destroys the pain messenger
signal before it can be sent to the
brain. Considered a medical
miracle by some, the ARTH AR-
REST formula is useful in the
treatment of painful disorders rang-
ing from minor aches and pains to
more serious conditions such as ar-
thritis, bursitis, rheumatism, ten-
donitis, backache and more.
ARTH ARREST is available in
a convenient roll-on applicator at
pharmacies without a prescription

A Penny For
Your Thoughts....
By: Nancy Whitaker
NOT THE BATES MOTEL!
Planning a vacation can
take lots of time. There is al-
ways the questions, Shall we
board the dog? Should we
drive or should we fly? What
kind of clothes do we need to
pack? What is the weather
going to be like?
So many details to think
about before we can actually
shut the door and say, Lets
go!
Oh dear, did we think about
the mail? Did we cancel ap-
pointments? Did we tell the
kids where to reach us? I
know what works best for me
is to make a list of what to
take and what we need to do.
However, even the best
plans can go awry and leave
us wondering what happened
to our perfect vacation?
A few years back we had a
motor home. I used to like to
camp when the kids were
young (and when I was
younger). We decided to take
the camper up into Michigan,
spend a few days and perhaps
see a few sights.
I pored over camping mag-
azines and looked at pictures
of various campgrounds.
There were the top rated ones
that had lots of amenities
such as nice swimming pools,
bicycles to ride, and campfire
pits. Then there were those
which were more wooded
and desolate, which are called
primitive.
I am a people person, so I
chose our campsites very
carefully, or so I thought. I
wanted to stay where there
were things to do, people to
talk to and of course a mall
within walking distance.
We arrived at the first
campgrounds and we traveled
down a winding road. There
were no other campers in
sight, so we thought perhaps
we were lost. All of a sudden
out of nowhere came an older
man who told us to drive
around to the back of the
park. I said, There are no
other people here. There is
not even another camper.
I told my husband, Just
drive around in a circle and
try to find the way out.
He asked, You dont want
to stay here? Then he asked
me why and what was wrong.
I said rather loudly, That
man looks like Norman
Bates.
My husband said, Who?
Norman Bates, I hissed.
That guy in Psycho. Lets
get out of here. It is spooky, I
dont see a pool or even a pic-
nic table.
We drove around to the
Norman Bates look-alike and
told him we were not spend-
ing the night. When he asked
why, my husband replied,
Cause she thinks this place
looks like the Bates Motel.
That was not the only thing
that happened on that trip. It
seemed that parks and recre-
ation places looked and
sounded so much better in the
magazines.
We decided then to go to a
beach, which was supposed
to have music and dancing in
the evening. They were sup-
posed to also have a restau-
rant and a nice pool.
When we got there, the
place was almost deserted.
The restaurant had closed
down and looked as if no one
had been in it for a while. By
this time, I am wondering
how I could have been so im-
pressed by the pictures of
these places that I made reser-
vations?
We did manage to go to a
few places, but as we were
going down the road, one of
our motorhomes hoses began
leaking. That was another
mess and by this time I de-
cided I was ready to get into
my nice warm bed, close to
stores, and not have to worry
about swimming pools, de-
serted campgrounds, broken
water hoses or men that
looked like Norman Bates.
We have had some other
vacation misadventures, but
now we look back and laugh
at ourselves. Talk about Na-
tional Lampoons Vacation
movie, I think by the time we
got home, we felt like charac-
ters in that movie.
Have you ever had vaca-
tion plans that didnt quite
work out? Would you stay at
a place that looked like the
Bates Motel? Have you made
your vacation plans yet? Let
me know and Ill give you a
Penny for Your Thoughts.

A cluster of bees hanging on
the branch of a tree or on the
side of a building is a sure
cause for human excitement.
This is referred to as honey
bee swarming.
A swarm is the way honey
bees start a new colony.
Honey bee swarms can con-
tain thousands of bees that
have broken away from the
original colony, including
workers, drones and the origi-
nal queen.
Swarms of bees sometimes
frighten people, though they
are usually not aggressive at
this stage of their life cycle.
This is principally due to the
fact that swarming bees have
no hive to defend and are
more interested in finding a
new nesting point for their
queen.
This does not mean that bee
swarms will not attack if they
perceive a threat; however,
most bees only attack in re-
sponse to intrusions against
their hive, and swarming bees
have no hive.
The queen is at the center of
the swarm. Her pheromones
attract the other bees to her. A
few scout bees will leave the
swarm to seek out a suitable
location for a nest, such as a
cavity in a tree. When a loca-
tion is found, the swarm will
move to the site.
Oftentimes, local beekeep-
ers are willing to capture a
swarm. If you do not know
one, give the extension office
a call. The beekeeper will
place an empty container, such
Honey bee swarm? Do not panic
as a bee hive, at the base of
the swarm, and shake or dis-
lodge the bees from the
swarm into the entrance. The
now-occupied hive can be
moved after dark, when the
bees are done foraging and
are less active.
Occasionally, honey bees will
attempt to nest in house walls.
The OSU Extension Fact Sheet,
Honey Bees in House Walls
http://ohioline.osu.edu/hyg-
fact/2000/pdf/2079.pdf pro-
vides detailed information on
removing a honey bee colony
from structures.
This will be my final news-
paper article, as I will be retir-
ing as extension county
educator. My last day in the of-
fice will be Monday June 17.
Paulding County has contin-
ued to support the Paulding
County Extension program
which has remained an active
and integral part of the county.
Thank you for allowing me to
be a part of that experience for
over the past 12 years.

BANK HOLDS OPEN HOUSE A ribbon cutting was held to kick off the Antwerp Exchange
Banks open house on Friday, June 7. The bank recently went through a complete renovation.
The interior has been updated to reflect the banks friendly way of doing business, while the ex-
terior has a new fresh look. The Antwerp Chamber of Commerce feels that this reflects the banks
commitment to the community. Those who were not able to attend the open house should feel
free to stop in to see the new look. Among those attending the ribbon cutting were, from left
Mike Renno, Antwerp chamber past president; Nancy Lichty, chamber vice president and AEB
senior teller; Karl Mielke, chamber member; Ron Eschbach, AEB president; and Marilyn Provines,
chamber member.
Genealogical society learns
pictures are worth 1,000 words
The May Paulding County Chapter of Ohio
Genealogical Society meeting garnered gen-
eral discussion consisting of the upcoming
June 12 potluck, to be held at 6 p.m. at
Antwerps Riverside Park, along with a River-
side Cemetery walk.
Bill Wilders presentation Pictures are
Worth a 1,000 Words! consisted of writing an
autobiography. Pictures inserted here and
there will make it more appealing as well as
informational.
Passing around copies of his undated family
photos, Wilder asked the group to look at the
entire picture and notice details. Things seen:
Five generations of the Wilder family with
young Bill held by his father. The trees were
bare of leaves and no one was wearing coats,
thus making it a spring or fall photo. He said
it was fall of the year of his June birth, but one
member picked up on his size, shoes and
clothing. He was a toddler, not a 3-month-old
baby, thus Wilder agreed that the photo was
taken in spring the following year.
Another photo was Wilder and his siblings
as young children, but also found was the back
of an old car, and a faint figure of a person be-
hind landscaping rocks (possibly his mother).
He reiterated, Pictures are worth a 1,000
words!
Wilder suggested starting by interviewing
relatives, beginning with the oldest while they
are still here to offer assistance of whats in
that box of old photos. Listen carefully and be
sure to jot down notes. Ask questions about
family as far back as the person can remember.
Write names, dates and locations on the back
of all photos. You wont remember years later,
possibly making your heirs more willing to
just throw them away.
A poem, written by Ernest Jack Sharpe, pro-
vides a perspective of happy days of yore.
Title: Old Photographs.
A box of faded photographs I opened yester-
day,
And instantly my memories were carried far
away
To many friends and places, from years so
long ago,
As I sorted through those photographs of folks
I used to know.
There were some family members that are no
longer here,
and photographs of sweethearts I once
thought very dear.
Thoughts swiftly raced and tumbled on things
that are no more,
As I daydreamed over photographs and happy
days of yore.
If you havent yet written an autobiography,
start today by keeping a note pad with you or
nearby. Jot down notes remembered at the mo-
ment, not to worry about the timeline.
Then set aside some time to put your notes
in order. It can be by the year, the event or any-
way that is interesting reading for those you
leave behind.
Thought for the day: What you collect are
keepsakes, but your heirs might not give a
hoot!
The PCCOGS wont meet in July. The next
meeting, on Aug. 14, will be at 6:30 p.m. at the
Paulding County Carnegie Library. Guests are
always welcome. Speaker Kelly Bergheimer will
present Mess on Your Desk!

Weekly Reminder
QUESTION: In our house-
hold my husband is the
stay-at-home parent and I
work full-time outside the
home. Do you have any ad-
vice on how we can make
this successful in our family
and marriage?
JIM: One critical piece of
information missing from
your question is the age of
your kids. Research shows
that young children need a
great deal of time with Mom
during their formative years.
If your kids are young, the
first thing wed recommend is
that you make every effort to
spend as much time nurturing
them as possible.
This is not to suggest that
you should feel guilty for
working outside the home.
We all have to operate within
the circumstances God has
granted to us. Since men are
generally hardwired to be fi-
nancial providers, youll want
to talk with your husband and
make sure that hes comfort-
able being a stay-at-home dad
for the time being.
Some men genuinely enjoy
being Mr. Mom. Theyre
good at it, too. Not only do
they love their kids, they have
been blessed with a nurturing
temperament and enjoy being
with them 24 hours a day.
Regardless of who is stay-
ing at home and who is acting
as the breadwinner, you and
your husband need to agree
that the most important thing
is that your kids arent being
deprived of parental love and
leadership.
When it comes to your
marriage, our advice is simi-
lar to what wed offer if your
husband were the breadwin-
ner: Be sure to make time to
connect every week without
the distractions of kids and
career. Schedule a regular
date night to invest in your
relationship.
You might also visit Work-
ingMom.com, a website
weve mentioned on our
broadcast. It contains a
wealth of helpful advice for
families in your situation.
QUESTION: I am engaged
to be married and have
been dating my fianc for
two years. Recently Ive felt
like were not on the same
page regarding premarital
counseling. I feel its impor-
tant, but my fianc doesnt
want it. What is your opin-
ion?
DR. GREG SMALLEY,
executive director of mar-
riage and family formation:
Premarital counseling is es-
sential! Every couple should
do it. In fact, some pastors re-
fuse to perform weddings for
couples who havent engaged
in at least some form of pre-
marital counseling.
Studies show that couples
who do it can reduce their
risk of divorce by as much as
30 percent. Perhaps that is
why some states have enter-
tained the idea of making pre-
marital counseling a
prerequisite for obtaining a
marriage license.
I would encourage you to
sit down with your fianc and
have an honest conversation
about why hes hesitant to en-
gage in premarital counsel-
ing. Dont pressure him or
twist his arm; just encourage
him to express his feelings.
Chances are, he simply
feels that its unnecessary.
But heres the thing: Premar-
ital counseling isnt just for
people who have troubled
backgrounds or difficult rela-
tionships. Its not necessarily
a sign or admission that
something is wrong be-
tween you. Rather, its a com-
mitment on both of your parts
to make a positive investment
By Jim Daly
in your relationship and to en-
sure that its as strong and
solid as it can be before you
tie the knot.
Once your fianc is on
board, find a counselor who
can navigate you through the
PREPARE/ENRICH Premar-
ital inventory. You can find a
sample test at www.prepare-
enrich.com. Also, you can
take Focus on the Familys
Couple Checkup for en-
gaged couples at www.focu-
sonthefamily.com/couplechec
kup.
This is not meant to be a re-
placement or substitute for
premarital counseling, but it
might give you and your fi-
anc some good talking
points as you seek out a coun-
selor together. Best wishes to
you!
Winning the Battle for a Generation
By Rick Jones
exec. director, Defiance
Area Youth for Christ
Where have all the fathers gone? Our world
culture has become obsessed with saving a variety
of species that at one time or another were ap-
proaching extinction.
Consider with me for example, the California
condor and across America, the bald eagle. In
Africa, theres the rhinoceros, the elephant and the
lion, all who are on a list of endangered species.
Across America, theres another species that ought
to be placed on the endangered list.
As we approach Sunday, June 16, there is an-
other species we honor and one that it has become
acutely endangered, fathers. One only has to listen
to the heart break in a song from Bruce Spring-
steen to feel the sadness over the absence of a fa-
ther.
In a recent 2012 interview with The New
Yorker, rock legend, Bruce Springsteen, said that
his broken relationship with his father lives on in
his songs.
For example, in the song, Adam Raised a
Cain, the younger Springsteen sings about the fa-
ther who walks these empty rooms looking for
something to blame. You inherit the sins. You in-
herit the flames.
The songs were a way of talking to his silent
and distant father. Springsteen said, My dad was
very nonverbal; you couldnt really have a con-
versation with him. I had to make my peace with
that, but I had to have a conversation with him,
because I needed to have one.
It aint the best way to go about it, but that was
the only way I could, so I did, and eventually he
did respond. He might not have liked the songs,
but I think he liked that they existed. It meant that
he mattered.
The past, though, is anything but past. Bruce
Springsteen admitted his yearning for what he
calls, Daaaddy!
My parents struggles, its the subject of my
life. Its the thing that eats at me and always will.
Those wounds stay with you, and you turn them
into a language and a purpose.
The musician, T-Bone Burnett, said that rock
and roll is all about Daaaddy! Its one embar-
rassing scream of Daaaddy!
Then gesturing toward the band onstage, he
said, Were repairmen, repairmen with a toolbox.
If I repair a little of myself, Ill repair a little of
you. Thats the job.
Where have all the fathers gone? Fathers, lets
endeavor to be dads again, to fulfill the admoni-
tion in scripture found in Ephesians 6:4 (NIV),
Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead,
bring them up in the training and instruction of the
Lord.

DESIGN FOR FAIR BUILDING PROJECT Drawings of a proposed building project for the livestock barns on the Paulding
County fairgrounds are being displayed during the fair this week as funds for a matching donation are being sought. This archi-
tects drawing shows the west end of the three planned buildings. The two on the left are to be 60x90 in dimension and would
house poultry in one and goats and sheep in the other. The barn on the right will be 40x100 for swine projects. Members of the
Friends of the Fairs project committee learned recently that an anonymous donor has offered $100,000 toward a matching grant
to complete this goal. People wishing to make a contribution for the project may do so by making a check out to Paulding County
Area Foundation with Friends of the Fair on the memo line. These should be mailed to 101 E. Perry St., Paulding OH 45879 or
dropped off at the office.
Commissioner continues interview on dog warden, EMA
Part 2 of 2
On Wednesday, May 29,
Paulding County Commis-
sioner Tony Zartman sat down
for an interview with Paulding
Progress publisher Doug Nut-
ter and staff writer Denise
Gebers to discuss the contro-
versy surrounding the commis-
sioners decisions regarding
plans for the dog wardens of-
fice and the county emergency
management agency (EMA).
This was prior to the decision
to offer the dog warden her job
back.
Tony Zartman: According to
our counsel [Prosecutor] Joe
Burkard, we have the ability to
pull out of our current agree-
ment for EMA, and, reorganize
under commissioners resolu-
tion. But out of respect for
these other entities, the town-
ships and villages who have
been a part of it since 1989, it
is our desire to go to them and
have them vote on whether to
disband or not. The executive
committee met and after they
understood our issues, they
voted 4-2 to ask the entire
board to disband. So, could we
very, be out of it today and
under the commissioners au-
thority thanks to resolution?
Yes. But we are wanting to get
the votes from the entire board.
And it will make it a cleaner
process with the state EMA if
they disband first. But could it
be done otherwise? Absolutely.
Paulding Progress: Will
you release a copy of the
prosecutors opinion to the
commissioners regarding the
legality of moving the dog
warden to the sheriffs of-
fice? You dont have to;
thats what he already told
us. What about the EMA of-
fice?
TZ: I dont know that we
have a written opinion from
Joe. I can go back. If we have
it, yes, you will have it. Can we
ask for it from him? Ab-
solutely. But Im not sure we
have an official written opinion
from him. I mean, its been a
matter of discussion with Joe
nonstop ever since that wreck
[on US 24] happened. So...
PP: Okay.
TZ: But it I mean thats cer-
tainly something that youre
more than willing, I mean if
you want that, call over and ask
Cindy [Peters, commissioners
clerk], can we have that, and if
we dont have it, shell tell us,
hey they asked for it and we
dont have it, and we can ask
for it from Joe. Which I know
that hed be more than happy
to supply.
PP: Who if anyone will be
making the call on how long
the dogs will be kept once the
sheriffs office has charge of-
?
TZ: I would assume that that
policy will be set with the dog
warden and the sheriff. Theyre
going to work in conjunction to
set policies for that office.
PP: And when is all of this
going to take effect?
TZ: July 1 is going to be the
official change when the sher-
iffs office will have direct
oversight over the....
PP: From a reader: will
strays be shipped to another
county like our prisoners
are?
TZ: At this point in time, no!
It hasnt even entered the dis-
cussion. I just wish people un-
derstood why we have to shut
the office. I mean, we can edu-
cate and educate and they just
dont see it. How many times
do you have to tell them before
they take time to listen?
PP: Okay, this is kind of
lengthy. We were told the
other day that someone
phoned to the sheriffs office
regarding a dog problem.
The S.O. was handling a traf-
fic accident at the time and
they supposedly told the
caller that they were too busy
to take that call. So, is it pos-
sible that especially during
nighttime hours that road
deputies would be handing
other matters when a dog call
came in? Would the public
expect to get a low priority?
TZ: Well, I think currently
when a call comes in, they
have to call the dog warden and
its at her discretion whether
she responds in the middle of
the night or not. With the sher-
iffs department, theyre going
to prioritize those calls when
the dog warden is off duty. As
to whether a traffic accident or
a, a burglary or domestic vio-
lence is more important than
handling a dog call, if you will.
Will the dog call be answered?
Absolutely. They can certainly
expect that when the sheriffs
office is able to respond that
they will. Their call will be an-
swered. But that, and if theres
no other concern, quite hon-
estly in the middle of the night,
the sheriffs office is pretty
slow. And if somebody calls in,
the deputy is going there right
now. So its just a mater of pri-
oritizing and thats only based
on common sense.
PP: Im curious, so if
Georgia accepts the job back,
that she will again be Pauld-
ing County dog warden, but
when shes working, Jason
will be her boss, per se, right?
Will be she be wearing a
deputys uniform?
TZ: Yes, she will be wearing
a sheriffs deputy uniform. Her
vehicle will have sheriffs em-
blems on it with a light bar.
PP: Okay. And she also
will be responding to other
things? Accidents?
TZ: If, if she is currently not
involved with anything with
the dogs or dog kennel and if
the situation arises that she is
the first responder at it, yes she
will certainly be able to secure
the area. But then she will be
turning it over the, to another
deputy. So she will not be han-
dling investigations or ...
PP: Right.
TZ: But her first priority will
certainly be dogs.
PP: The assistant deputy
dog warden, will he be of-
fered his job back as well?
TZ: Currently...
PP: Because I think youre
looking for a full-time and a
part-time.
TZ: Currently, with this
structure, in order to gain the
efficiencies that we need, the
deputy also has to be a peace
officer.
PP: Okay.
TZ: So he has to have had
the training and pass that. Is he
capable of that? Ive met Mr.
Huckabaa, Im sure hes more
than capable of doing that. Its
just, Im not sure 100 percent
where the sheriff is at, if hes
willing to allow him to go to
the training, because its not a
quick training process, or not.
Its, were basically allowing
the sheriff to make those calls.
PP: Lets see if Denise has
anything else shed like to
ask.
PP: Once you get the rest
of the signatures that you
need to dissolve the EMA
board, do you have a plan in
place on whats going to hap-
pen? Are you going to hire
somebody? Are you going to
have the process to get there?
TZ: I respect Randy and his
ability to handle emergencies
like, you know, the derecho last
year or the tornado before that,
he did an excellent job. Its the
day-to-day, situations that he
really lacks the oversight in. He
needs somebody to stay on him
saying, you gotta get this done.
PP: So thats what its
going to be, its becoming
more, we need to be boss of
this.
TZ: Exactly.
PP: We need to oversee
this.
TZ: Right.
PP: You think youll get
the rest of the signatures you
need if you-?
TZ: We have, we actually
have the resolution drafted that
outlines how its going to hap-
pen. The responsibilities and
everything. We have a separate
resolution setting up an advi-
sory board to the commission-
ers which will include
chairman of the commission-
ers, the sheriff and the fire
chiefs.
PP: All of them?
TZ: All of them. Theyre all
eligible to be on it, that of
course, will be their choice,
whether they will sit on it or
not. but thats an advisory
board. But we want the com-
munity to be able to tell us, hey,
you need to be doing this or...
PP: Okay. What about po-
lice chiefs? Are they going to
want any type of representa-
tion?
TZ: Im not sure they will or
not. But were focusing more
on the fire chiefs simply be-
cause-
PP: Its fire and EMS.
TZ: Right. its primarily his
responsibility, fire and EMS,
so, and then their trainings.
Typically the fire chiefs, the
EMS department is in with the
fire department, so, we see the
fire, honestly, you get too many
people involved in one meeting
nothing, gets done.
PP: So you do have some-
thing in mind?
TZ: We have the resolution
drafted which we will move on
when we acquire the needed
signatures from the previous
board to disband.
PP: So you have to adver-
tise for someone for this posi-
tion, or-?
TZ: It depends upon the con-
versation with Randy.
TZ: If Randy ... it doesnt
matter. If Randy declines our
offer, then we will have to put
together a job description and
then it will be advertised.
PP: You should have a job
description anyway.
TZ: Well, yeah, we really do,
but we have to finalize it. But
there will be an interim ap-
pointed until a permanent can
be hired.,,,,
PP: Okay. And you have
someone in mind for that,
too?
TZ: Yes. And it will happen
automatically. There will be no
lapse of coverage of an EMA
director.
PP: We can get with you
maybe next week after we
know some other things that
have developed that-
TZ: I hope we will know by
that time. Its one of those
things that you hurry up and
wait. So.
PP: Because theyre al-
lowed a certain amount of
time to make that decision.
TZ: Right.
PP: I have another ques-
tion. When the EMA board
was originally put together, I
know there was a lot of big
meetings they had out out of
the extension office and Jim
Hooker put a lot of time into
getting this put together. And
that each of the villages had
input and each of the town-
ships had input, in addition
to the commissioners. So
once you guys take this over,
do they have any more
input?
TZ: Absolutely. But that will
be primarily be through the ad-
visory board. That will be their
avenue to direct input to us, but
if they have issues otherwise
that they want to make us
aware of, I havent seen a
township or a village hesitate to
call us. So they all know that
we are open to talk to them at
any time. And we will help any
way we can to resolve any
issue.
PP: Okay.
TZ: So we have very good
communication with the town-
ship and the villages.
PP: And youd said that
you told them they dont
have to make any kind of a
payment?
TZ: Its not, we cannot man-
date that they do, but we ask
that they-
PP: Consider it?
TZ: Consider it.
PP: Okay. So if they dont?
TZ: Theyre still covered.
PP: Okay. Will they have
as much weight in your office
if something comes up?
TZ: Absolutely. Absolutely.
PP: You can say that cur-
rently because you are in the
office. What happens 20
years down the road when
none of you guys are in office
anymore?
TZ: I would think that any-
body, I seriously, anybody sits
in this office is in it for one rea-
son and thats to serve the com-
munity. Believe me, thats the
only reason youd do this job.
PP: Are you putting some-
thing in your resolution that
would state that-
TZ: No.
PP: -that there is some
guarantee?
TZ: No thats not currently
in the resolution. There hasnt
even been any discussion along
those lines. So, but, I mean,
state law, we cannot mandate
they pay. But out of service for
the community theyre going
to get the same support.
PP: Okay.
PP: I was curious, so then,
how will that happen?
TZ: How will what happen?
PP: The payment. If they
make payment. Just when-
ever they decide they can
send you money, or will you
send bills?
TZ: No, well send a letter
probably to them saying, you
know, previously you had, you
were mandated to make this
payment. You no longer are,
but were asking that you still
contribute to the fund to main-
tain the office. So Im sure that
a letter will go out once a year
from the commissioners of-
fice.
PP: Will you be recom-
mending an amount?
TZ: We told them that it will
be, our desire would be to keep
it the same amount theyre cur-
rently paying.
PP: I was under the im-
pression that this year was
first time that they were ask-
ing for more money since it
was actually set up.
TZ: That was supposed to
have happened two years ago
when we had the budgetary is-
sues with Randy-
PP: So with no mandatory
payment, and the people de-
cide, well if we dont have to
pay, were not going to pay-
TZ: We anticipate that may
happen.
PP: Then the county will
be even put into even more of
a debt-
TZ: Right. Then we will be
responsible for more, but in the
scheme of things, whether it
comes from village, township
or county, its taxpayer dollars.
In all reality. But the service, I
mean, we feel its our respon-
sibility to make sure that these
first responders are trained, not
only for their security and their
protection but for the people
they are responding to as well.
PP: Do the departments
not make sure they are
trained?
TZ: Some of them have the
ability to pay for it and some of
them dont.
PP: Do you think its vol-
unteer-and-show-up?
TZ: I mean, some of them
have, you know, basic training.
Like we used to have the HAZ-
MAT response team. They
havent met in I dont know
how long. Fact is the one fire
chief, he said, I dont even
know where the equipments at
anymore. But thats part of the
EMA directors responsibility
is to make sure this stuff is
taken care of. But its just not
happening. So whether we end
up losing our jobs over it or
not, were going to protect peo-
ple. Cause were here to serve.
PP: This is from the read-
ers: Id like to know how the
changes will effect the budg-
ets for the various depart-
ments? Where will the
money go and how will it be
used specifically?
TZ: The money is going to
stay specifically in those special
funds for the use and operation
of those departments whether
its the dog warden or EMA.
And it will not be used any-
where else in the county.
PP: So the budgets are set,
theyre going to be, they are
what they are?
TZ: Basically the dog war-
dens budget is what they take in
in dog tag sales and then fines
they get through the courts. That
sets their budget. We dont sup-
plement that budget.
PP: Okay.
TZ: Or at least we try not to.
The previous dog warden we
had to....
PP: Yeah, right. I remem-
ber that.
TZ: EMA is basically the
same thing, I mean their budget
is set with whatever contribu-
tion we give them and whatever
they are able to ascertain from
the other entities, whether town-
ships or villages, and then the
state match grant funds that they
receive. And then any other
grants that they are able to get
with their, I mean if they do
trainings, they get grants, if they
do this, they get grants. So those
tax dollars are specific to that
department.
PP: Okay. So when youre
talking about trainings, are
these trainings that will be
held locally with the local
EMA director in charge of
them, rather than sending
people out?
TZ: Its our desire to, well,
were mandated to have one in
June, a big training, which I
dont know, I dont think hes
even done anything about it, to
be honest. But theyre local.
PP: Okay.
TZ: And a lot of times what
he does is if he responds to an
accident like that out at 24 and
he calls that a training. Which,
in my opinion, is not a training.
PP: Right. But are you talk-
ing about like the tabletop
trainings that you hear about,
or are you talking about ac-
tual-
TZ: Actual trainings. Actual
stuff.
PP: Where would you have
those?
TZ: Well, theyve had them
previously, like at the schools or
the at fairgrounds, out in the
parking lot at the school.
PP: I know Ive been to a
tabletop years ago.
PP: And Ive seen those
types, you know, certainly in
the newspapers, the Napoleon
paper, the Crescent, you
know, they have these types of
things.
PP: Is that an annual thing?
TZ: Im not sure what the
exact schedule is on all that,
which is, we need to find all that
out ... really, since the decision
was made this morning, to keep
this internal in the commission-
ers office. So, we will be talk-
ing with the regional EMA
director and getting all the
specifics on that.
PP: Okay. So this is state-

mandated stuff-?
TZ: Yes.
PP: Its not stuff that was
put in the local agreement?
TZ: No. Its state.
PP: But if they [dog war-
den] go under the sheriffs
department then youre
thinking the supervision is
going-
TZ: Theyre going to be
clocking in. Because shes not
going to be necessarily a 24/7
salaried and setting her own
hours. shes going to be re-
sponsible for in and out of that
office, handling the situations
that have arisen either the day
before or currently while shes
there.
PP: And filing reports to
Jason?
TZ: Right.
PP: Is she going to be com-
pensated hourly rather than-
?
TZ: That has not yet been
decided. But we will set the
compensation rate for it, the
commissioners will or that not
necessarily for that position
whether it be a salaried or
hourly. My gut feeling is that it
needs to be hourly.
PP: Okay, so if she puts in
her 40-
TZ: And she gets called out
because a dog has bitten some-
body? Its my opinion that it
would be overtime.
PP: So you wont give her
assistant preference over her
because they wont have 40
hours?
TZ: Well ...
PP: Maybe I should ask-
TZ: That, that honestly is not
our call. That would be the
sheriffs call.
PP: How many hours are
you looking at for the part-
time or the assistant or what-
ever youre going to call it?
TZ: Im not so sure about it
either, there again, we what we
told the sheriff is this is the cur-
rent budget, this is what we
have to work with. So he is the
one that is going to have to fig-
ure the actual logistics on how
hes going to handle that part-
time because hes going to be
able to use the rest of the
deputies, if theyre not called
out somewhere else they can
respond.
PP: Theyre not trained
for that type of thing but
TZ: Well its not really that
hard to train somebody to
snare a dog, the way I under-
stood it.
PP: The questions going
to be are the deputies going
to want to do that type of
thing?
TZ: The sheriff will tell
you no theyre not going to
want to do it but they dont
have a choice. If I tell them
theyre going to do it theyre
going to do it.
PP: Theres probably
other things they dont
want to do but they have to.
TZ: Have I answered your
questions that you feel that
was honest and open?
PP: I think so. I think so.

New MAC adult league tops
50 teams weekly
ANTWERP The first adult league has started at the MAC
gym in Antwerp. Four teams of 18 and over age boys have suited
back up to play in the inaugural league.
Former players from Paulding, Wayne Trace and Antwerp com-
piled the four teams to compete weekly on Friday evenings. The
new Friday night league is a culmination of 50 teams weekly at-
tending the MAC to participate in seven different summer leagues,
played Monday through Friday. Stop by the MAC any weeknight
evening and experience a whole new summer of basketball fun.
Local basketball leagues
boost county economy
ANTWERP Basketball has taken on a whole new dimension
this summer in Paulding County. Eight total leagues for youth and
adults are held at Wayne Trace High School, Antwerp Local
School, and the MAC Gymnasium in Antwerp. The three facilities
will host a total of 379 basketball games in the county this sum-
mer.
Those 379 games will require the hiring of 758 officials for the
62 participating teams. Teams are comprised of players that travel
to their assigned gym sites from seven Ohio counties (Williams,
Defiance, Fulton, Putnam, Van Wert, Allen and Paulding) and two
Indiana counties (Allen and Dekalb).
Teams traveling into the local communities always bring the
potential of outside county money to be spent on gas, food, and
more as parents, players, and spectators maneuver through the
county to their respective sites.

Habitat for Humanity
Energy Star open house
OTTAWA Interested in how to make your home more energy
efficient? On Saturday, June 15, Putnam County Habitat for Hu-
manity will host an Energy Star open house from 9 a.m.-noon at its
current construction site at 1376 N. Defiance St. in Ottawa.
Builders, suppliers and anyone interested in energy saving home
construction techniques are welcome to attend. Construction man-
ager Paul Recker and other construction volunteers will be available
to explain energy saving techniques being used in the home.
All of the homes constructed by Habitat for Humanity in Putnam
County have been built to Energy Star standards. The first five
homeowners are showing significant heating and electric bill sav-
ings. In January 2011, the first homeowner in Ottawa reported his
combined gas and electric bills total $65 for a 1,100 square foot
home.
The 2013 Ottawa home is being constructed to Energy Star 3.0
standards and Enterprise Green Community specifications. The dry-
wall will not be installed at the time of the open house so visitors
can see the raised heel trusses, 2x6 studs, how the insulation is
blown in the walls, that all the cavities are caulked, how air is cir-
culated in the home and other techniques used to keep energy bills
low. Green construction materials are being used to lower the chem-
icals used in the home, making the home a much healthier living
environment.
The public is invited to view the home any time between 9 a.m.-
noon June 15. The home is sponsored by the Whirlpool Corpora-
tion.

Vantage board revises policies
By LINDSAY McCOY
DHI Correspondent
VAN WERT Vantage Career Center Board
of Education met for their regular June meet-
ing Thursday evening for the first reading of
the NEOLA policy. NEOLA is a board policy
service that helps in developing and updating
board bylaws and policies. Along with the first
reading of this policy, several recommended
revisions were adopted pertaining to evalua-
tion of administrators, religious displays by
teachers, seniority eliminated for rehiring, and
grant funding.
Treasurer Lori Davis gave the board an up-
date on the refunding of bonds. The current re-
funding process was to begin this week. but
has been postponed due to a rise in higher in-
terest rates which would lower savings rates
for the district.
Davis said Vantage is not the only school
that decided to refund bonds. Now, everyone
is in a similar situation and playing the waiting
game until rates begin to fall again.
Davis also reported that quotes have been
received from three insurance companies for
property and casual insurance. The district is
currently discussing choices but is leaning to-
wards Source, the schools previous provider.
All three providers varied greatly on their
coverage options, and Davis and superintend-
ent Staci Kaufman both felt more comfortable
working with a company that the school has
had positive prior experience with. A de-
ductible would no longer be in effect as it
would with the other two companies if Van-
tage decided to make the switch.
In a school, liability will be your greatest
risk, noted Davis. Source is a company that
deals specifically within the education works
and takes a lot of responsibility away from the
school in the event of a claim as they deal with
all the companies involved in the aftermath of
an event.
Vantage has made limited claims in the past
with the only recent claims being the loss of
items in a fire on Fox Road and the theft of
scaffolding. The final decision on a company
will be made at the July board meeting.
Kaufman reported that solar arrays are cur-
rently being installed and the projected date
for solar generation is Aug. 1.
The hiring for employees for the 2013-14
school year has been moved from July to June,
and the board accepted a variety of new em-
ployment contracts. Employment was ap-
proved for Mike Knott as student services
supervisor; Karen McGilton, Penny Baucom,
Jessica Farr, Kaleb Baucom, Austin Meyer,
and Dustin Carter for summer technology; and
John Ringwald and James Martin for custo-
dial/maintenance.
Adult education contracts included Pete
Weir as trade and industry programs manager;
Kevin Taylor, Glenn Schenk, Vicki Bidlack
and Doug Weigle as police academy assis-
tants; Lynn Schweitzer for health careers;
Justin Cornewell as pharmacy tech; Kristie
Jones as AE instructional leader; Shirley Jarvis
as STNA coordinator/health careers; and Cyn-
thia Krizan as AE transitions coordinator/sup-
portive services specialist.
Other adult ed contracts included Diane
Jones as transitional/guidance and assessment
coordinator; Trent Sprow for alternative en-
ergy/trade and industry; Brent Wright, Pat
Vogal and Jeff Stittsworth for AWS tests; Ted
Daniels, Kim Haas and Connie Drake for
health careers; Bruce Showalter as police
academy commander; Jackie Brandt as public
safety programs manager; Ron Schumm for
small business and green farming; Annette
Klinger, Stephanie Calderon and Michele
Prichard as substitute secretaries; Michael
DeMoss and Robert Hogan for truck driving;
and Brent Wright, Rylee Carlisle and Larry
Longwell for welding.

The local prevalence of
non-native invasive species
of plants and animals makes
a strong case that it is. We
have to look no further than
the starlings feeding among
the dandelions in our yards to
find invasive species. But,
most of our very agricultural
crops that we depend on for
food have origins outside of
our borders.
Invasive species were ei-
ther deliberately or accidently
introduced through mans ac-
tions. There are nearly 50,000
invasive species in this coun-
try, half of them are plants
and most are pathogens or
diseases with lesser numbers
of insects and vertebrate ani-
mals.
Plants such as bush honey-
suckles, glossy buckthorn,
Japanese knotweed, purple
loosestrife, and garlic mus-
tard; insects such as Asian
long-horned beetle, emerald
ash borer, and gypsy moths;
aquatic species such as zebra
mussels, spiny water flea,
common carp and Asian carp;
English house sparrows,
common pigeons and Nor-
way rats.
The intentional release of
ballast water from interna-
tional shipping operations has
been identified as the path-
ways for the unintentional in-
troduction of invasives such
as zebra mussels to the Great
Lakes ecosystem.
Emerald ash borer beetles
and Asian long-horned bee-
tles are believed to have ar-
rived in infested lumber or in
wooden packing materials.
Invasives generally outcom-
pete natives and often have
few or no predators leading to
detrimental changes to the
ecosystem. These changes
can have significant eco-
nomic as well as environmen-
tal consequences. Billions of
dollars are spent to limit the
spread of some invasive
species that threaten the pop-
ulations or health of agricul-
tural crops or commercial
fisheries.
Emerald ash borer beetles
have caused the death of over
tens of millions of native ash
trees, causing millions of dol-
lars damage. Plus, the labor to
remove the dead trees has
gotten costly for parks and
recreation offices in many
towns and cities.
Asian carp, also known as
bighead or silver carp, have
invaded the Mississippi
River. They escaped from
fish farms in the south. These
flying fish have become
dangerous (view on YouTube).
These fish feed on the plankton
which the native fish need to
survive. Their size and breed-
ing potential result in damage
to native fish populations. If
they reach the Great Lakes,
they could severely impact the
commercial and sport fishing
industries, costing local
economies millions.
Knowledge of these invasive
species and their potential for
damage are keys to conquering
them and possibly getting rid
of them. Report occurrences of
new invasives to authorities
such as the Ohio EPA, Ohio
DNR or the OSU Extension of-
fice.

It is the universal customto display the flag only fromsunrise to sunset on buildings and on sta-
tionary flagstaff in the open. However, when a patriotic effect is designed, the flag may be displayed
twenty-four hours a day if properly illuminated during the hours of darkness.

Day, January 20; Lincolns Birthday, February 12; Washingtons Birthday, third Monday in February;

claimed by the President of the United States; the birthdays of the States (date of admission); and on
State holidays.
The flag should not be draped over the hood, topsides, or back of a vehicle or of a railroad train or
boat. When the flag is displayed on a motorcar, the staff shall be fixed firmly to the chassis or clamped
to the right fender.
When the flag of the United States is displayed froma staff projecting horizontally or at an angle
fromthe windowstill, balcony, or front of a building, the union of the flag should be placed at the peak
of the staff unless the flag is at half staff.
When the flag is suspended over a sidewalk froma rope extending froma house to a pole at the
edge of the sidewalk froma rope extending froma house to a pole at the edge of the sidewalk, the
flag should be hoisted out, union first, fromthe building.
When displayed either horizontally or vertically against a wall, the union should be uppermost and
to the flags own right, that is, to the observers left. When displayed in a window, the flag should be
displayed in the same way, with the union or blue field to the left of the observer in the street.
Respect for your flag
No disrespect should be shown to the flag of the United States of America; the flag should not be
dipped to any person or thing. Regimental colors, State flags, and organization or institutional flags
are to be dipped as a mark of honor.
The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in in-
stances of extreme danger to life or property.
The flag should never touch anything beneath it, such as the ground, the floor, water, or merchandise.
The flag should never be carried flat or horizontally, but always aloft and free.
The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery. It should never be fes-
tooned, drawn back, not up, in folds, but always allowed to fall free. Bunting of blue, white, and red,
always arranged with the blue above, the white in the middle, and the red below, should be used for
covering a speakers desk, draping the front of the platform, and for decoration in general.
The flag should never be fastened, displayed, used, or stored in such a manner as to permit it to
be easily torn, soiled, or damaged in any way.
The flag should never be used as a covering for a ceiling
