PAULDING - Friends of the Fair project
committee members were busily explaining
their upcoming project last week during
Paulding County Fair.
The group is proposing to tear down the cur-
rent wood structured livestock barns to replace
them with modern steel buildings. The barns in
question currently house the swine, sheep,
goat, and poultry junior fair projects.
Plans are in the works to construct two
60x90 and one 40x100 pole barns. The
smaller pair would house the sheep and goats in
one and poultry in the other. Swine projects
would go in the longer barn.
The new layouts will open up 1,400 addi-
tional square feet for use.
Enthusiastic would typify the fair commu-
nitys response to the project.
Numerous displays with architectural draw-
ings of the barns and their locations on the
grounds were posted around the fairgrounds.
Culmination of the weeks discussions ap-
peared during the junior fair livestock auction
Saturday morning. A local businessman circu-
lated among the crowd of buyers looking for
supporters of $1,000 or more. His efforts were
amazingly successful. Over ten individuals or
businesses indicated they would gladly partici-
pate.
Additionally, sale director Rhonda Bates in-
dicated an addition four buyers donated over
$3,100 as they checked out of the sale
Saturday.
She said five junior fair exhibitors have also

ANTWERP Antwerp
Village Council heard from the
ACDC seeking clarification of
a $10,000 gift or loan, ap-
proved new zoning issues and
discussed development plans
at Mondays regular meeting.
This Saturday, June 22,
marks clean-up day in the vil-
lage. Items can be taken to the
water plant from 9 a.m.-4 p.m.
Jim Pendergrast and Kirk
Hopkins from the Antwerp
Community Development
Committee (ACDC) ap-
proached council concerning
$10,000 the ACDC gave to the
village in 2008 for the purpose
of engineering services for the
depot project. At the time of
the transaction, it was believed
to be a loan, according to the
ACDC. Pendergrast, president
of the ACDC, asked the coun-
cil to look into the matter.
We are not here to collect a
check tonight, but we would
like for the council to consider
some type of reimbursement,
Pendergrast said.
Upon looking through pre-
vious minutes and possible
resolutions, no evidence was
found supporting the idea of a
loan being made. Had there
been a loan, a resolution would
have been presented to council
for vote, said village solicitor
Mel Farr.
The ACDC had earlier ap-
proached the finance commit-
tee concerning the situation.
Finance committee member
and Councilman Larry Ryan
asked village administrator
Sara Keeran if it was possible
to reopen the grant funds in
order to make some type of
restitution. The grant is
closed and cannot be revisit-
ed, Keeran said.
Ryan concluded by saying,
We find ourselves at a point
of miscommunication and
would like to come to some
resolution.
Appreciating the work of
the ACDC and the positive in-
fluence they have in the
Antwerp community, council
told both Pendergrast and
Hopkins they will consider
their request. In the meantime,
council will study their options
in hopes of an amicable deci-
sion.
Keeran presented to council
the proposed zoning changes
that affect the zoning map.
Changes will ensure the prop-
erties are properly zoned and
will be followed with a public
hearing concerning the
changes. With no changes, the
new zoning map would be pre-
sented to council at the July
camping left before the storm
hit.
Shafer noted the fair fea-
tured great entertainment
everywhere, a nice show of an-
imals throughout the week and
busier times for the rides and
vendors.
Fairgoers up and down the
midway agreed. Comments
were heard from those express-
ing gratitude to the sponsors
who made it possible for free

PAULDING It just keeps
getting better and better.
Following on the heels of an
outstanding 2012 Paulding
County Fair, this years edition
gathered more attendance and
praise.
Supporters of the junior fair
livestock auction set an all-
time record during Saturdays
event for the second straight
year.
I thought we had a very
good fair, said Tim Shafer,
president of the Paulding
County Fair Board, noting a lot
of positive feedback from
those attending the six-day
event.
At 11:30 p.m. the last night
of the fair the midway was still
busy and the vendors were
open. You havent seen that in
a while. The midway was full,
like when we were kids.
Shafer said attendance was
great all week except
Wednesday, when the forecast
predicted another June dere-
cho. Although that didnt
occur, about 25 people who
were still on the fairgrounds
were ushered to storm shelters
when tornado warnings were
issued in Allen County, Ind.
and Defiance County.
We kept an eye on how the
weather was developing all
day, said Shafer. He added
that most fairgoers and those
dition of the fairgrounds.
Daily sponsors for the gates
were: Monday, Paulding
County Area Foundation;
Tuesday, Timber Road Wind
Farm/EDPR; Wednesday,
Cooper Farms; Thursday, MTJ
Farms; Friday, Baughman
Tile; and Saturday, Ag Credit,
Paulding County Farm
Bureau, Stoller Seeds
LLC/Beck Hybrids and
Williamson Insurance Agency.
Preliminary figures for the
junior fair auction released by
sale coordinator Rhonda Bates
show a huge jump to over
$214,000, up from last years
$205,952.07.
Everybody continues to
offer such awesome support of
our fair and the kids, said
Bates. Lots of exciting things
are going on at the fair with
grounds improvements and
looking toward the future. Its
just exciting when you see
these people stepping up. It
speaks volumes about their
faith in the kids and the pro-
gram.
She said she expects more
add-ons, donations to the
young sellers, to come in yet,
so this wont be the final fig-
ure. Additionally, she said the
figure does not include non-an-
imal items that were sold.
Eli Molitors grand champi-
on market steer sold for $775.

$214,000.
Denise Gebers/Paulding County Progress
During the Paulding County Fairs junior fair livestock auction Saturday, June 16, several individ-
uals and businesses indicated they would be donating $1,000 or more each toward the new barns
to be built on the fairgrounds. By the end of this years fair, the Friends of the Fair project commit-
tee had preliminary commitments toward the project approaching the $100,000 anonymous match.

PAULDING The old
Hotel Barnes no longer exists
and now the Village of Paul -
ding may soon no longer own
the property.
Following several long
years of discussion and meet-
ings, Paulding Village Council
on Monday heard the third and
final reading of Resolution
1278-13 to advertise for bids
for the sale of the Hotel Barnes
property. The now-vacant lot is
located on South Williams
Street north of the old jail.
Prior to voting on the resolu-
tion, council amended the res-
olution per a recommendation
from village solicitor Mike
Jones. The amendment sets the
minimum price of the property
at $8,000.
Jones told council that he
would draft an advertisement
for the sale of the property and
have it ready for publication
next week.
Council unanimously voted
to suspend the rules and de-
clare an emergency for
Resolution 1279-13 submitting
a 1-mill renewal recreation
levy on the ballot, Resolution
1280-13 submitting a 1-mill
renewal fire levy on the ballot,
and Resolution 1281-13 sub-
mitting a 2-mill renewal cur-
rent expenses levy on the bal-
lot. Council unanimously
voted in favor of all three.

meeting.
The Antwerp Community
Improvement Corporation
(CIC) will auction their 47.5
acres to be held at 6 p.m. on
June 20 at the VFW. Proceeds
from the sale will be used to
construct the new road off
South Erie Street currently
being proposed to help serve a
planned commercial district.
Due to the proposed access
for the church off the new road
and potential future access by
the Dollar General Store, the
CIC felt the church should be
included in the engineering of
the access points.
Upon conversation with
Poggemeyer Design Group
concerning the start of prelim-
inary engineering, a cost of
$8,600 was given for engineer-
ing, surveying and topography
layouts for the storm drainage.
The motion to enter into a con-
tract with Poggemeyer for the
development of Antwerp
Commercial Drive was unani-
mously approved.
Council also unanimously
approved an expenditure of
$9,500 for the development of
a comprehensive plan for the
village. Due to the potential for
commercial development in
the village connected to the
U.S. 24 exit and the desire to
attract new business into the
village, a plan is needed.
The planning commission
has developed a site plan to
meet some new development
issues, but a comprehensive
plan will allow us to deal with
zoning while providing policy
that will shape our community
development, said Keeran.
In other business:
Police Chief George
Clemens reported that his de-
partment made 189 service
calls in May along with six of-
fenses.
The tall grass and weeds
ordinance will be revised with
new requirements and will be
presented at the next council
meeting.
Erie Recycling donated
seven parking stop-blocks to
the depot.
Annual patching and
paving of various village
streets was completed by Loop
Asphalt of Cecil at a cost of
$16,534.
The land donation by the
Antwerp Community Church
to the village for roadway de-
velopment has been complet-
ed.
Council received updated
changes and corrections for the
village handbook and its poli-
cies. Council members will
vote next month on the new
handbook.
The water rate increase of
3 percent per 1,000 gallons of
water will take effect in
January 2014. The new rate
will generate an additional
$26,000.
A new high service pump
was installed recently at the
utility department.
The 24/49 committee is
looking for volunteers to serve
on various committees.
joined in the fundraising ef-
forts by donating all or a por-
tion of the sale of one of their
animals that day. That dollar
amount has yet to be deter-
mined.
That was very generous of
them, she said. Im pretty
proud of our fair kids and how
they step up.
All the funds raised during
the fair, plus those donated be-
fore and since, are being
matched up to $100,000 by an
anonymous donor. That com-
mitment was made known to
the project committee in May.
At this point, it looks like
the match is nearly met, said
Lisa McClure, executive di-
rector of the Paulding County
Area Foundation, which will
administer the Friends of the
Fairs Building for the Future
Fund.
McClure could not supply a
current total for the project
fund because the figure
changes daily, sometimes
hourly, she said.
An anticipated amount of
$250,000 could be needed to
complete this project. Much
of the match has been donated
or pledged.
Members of the project
committee will meet next
week to see where they stand
with donations and to discuss
future plans.
A retirement party was held for Jim Lopshire Thursday,
June 13 during the Paulding County Fair. He stepped down
as of June 17 after serving as an OSU Extension agent for
the past 12 years.

The Amish Cook
By: Lovina Eicher
ding which is next Tuesday al-
ready. Daughter Elizabeth has
hers cut out, so I might need to
help her with hers since shes
working at the factory. Eliza-
beth and Timothy will be table
waiters at the wedding. I have
to help cook on Saturday and I
will also go help bake pies for
the wedding.
On Sunday morning it was
nice and sunny for our church
services. By 9 a.m., when the
services started, our basement
was filled with people from our
church district as well as the
many guests from other church
districts. I dont remember our
basement ever being this filled
with people for church services.
There were even a few families
missing from our own district.
We appreciated the many
friends and relatives coming in
honor of our daughters Eliza-
beth and Susan, and Susans
friend Mose, starting instruc-
tions for baptism. What an en-
couragement to them to see so
much support. The Lord willing
they will be baptized this fall
after following instruction every
two weeks until then.
Our church lunch menu con-
sisted of homemade wheat and
white bread (which are the
women from our church baked
50 loaves for me), butter, straw-
berry jam, freezer pickles, dill
pickles, red beets, hot peppers,
peanut butter spread, cheese,
summer sausage, egg salad, cof-
fee and tea, along with a variety
of cookies of which quite a few
It is Thursday morning and
the children are all sleeping in
a little longer. Its their first day
of not having to go to school
for the summer.
Yesterday, daughter, Susan
and I, attended the school pic-
nic. After the awards were pre-
sented to the children everyone
moved outside to do the vari-
ous activities planned for the
last day of school.
A picnic lunch was served to
everyone and then the children
enjoyed the Slip and Slide on
the hill. It was chilly in the
morning but by lunchtime it
was warmer and the water on
the slide cooled everyone off.
It was nice to take a break
since the last few weeks have
been busy cleaning and prepar-
ing for church services.
Verena has now completed
the eighth grade and is finished
with her school years. We at-
tended her graduation on Mon-
day evening. This fall
Benjamin, 13, will be an eighth
grader. Loretta, 12, will be in
the seventh grade, Joseph, 10,
will be in middle school as a
fifth grader, Lovina will be in
third and Kevin, 7, will be in
second grade.
Meanwhile, we put a lot of
rhubarbs into juice this week.
That will make a lot of good
drinking during the summer
months. It seems to quench
your thirst on those hot sum-
mer days.
Today I want to cut out my
suit for nephew Noahs wed-
hundred were also brought in.
Sister Emma made the many
gallons of iced tea from the
spearmint and peppermint tea
leaves out of her garden. It was
delicious and took a lot of work
off my hands to have this all
prepared.
We had a good-sized crowd
back for supper and our menu
was potluck potato casserole,
grilled hot dog sandwiches, let-
tuce salad, homemade bread,
egg salad, pickles, hot peppers,
jello cake, chocolate cake and
chocolate pie, coffee, and iced
tea. Church services will be held
here again on June 16. Gods
blessings to all.
Ill share my potluck potato
recipe.

Hands of Hope plans open house June 27
PAULDING The public is
invited to attend an open house
at Hands of Hope Pregnancy
Services from 5-7 p.m. Thurs-
day, June 27, at the new office
in the new Samaritan Center,
which is located across from
the hospital on West Wayne
Street in Paulding.
A ribbon cutting will be held
and the board and staff will
give tours of the east wing of
the building.
The medical building was
acquired by Youth for Christ in
2012 and the vision for a preg-
nancy center in Paulding
County became a reality March
1. Doug Roop, YFC staff
member in Paulding County,
serves as the building manager.
The steering committee met
several times last fall and plans
were made to have the center
become incorporated as a non-
profit, Christian-based, social
service agency and apply for a
501c3. That has recently been
approved and the tax exempt
status is retroactive to the date
of incorporation which was
Oct. 22, 2012.
The center is funded totally
by contributions and is eager to
build up its donor base of indi-
viduals, families, churches and
local business associates.
In the two months of being
open, one client has already
had her baby and received gifts
of baby items along with buy-
ing the items with the Baby
Bucks that she had earned for
the Baby Store by taking edu-
cational classes at Hands of
Hope.
Others have begun taking
several of the 60-80 available
class topics, such as infant and
child development, child
safety, alcohol and substance
abuse effects on pregnancy,
healthy relationships and many
other important topics for par-
enting.
They earn points for each
class attended and if they bring
a support person, male or fe-
male, to learn with them, dou-
ble points, in preparation for
buying a new crib or a car seat,
or other new baby items.
They remain active clients
throughout their pregnancies,
and keep earning points for di-
apers and other baby items
through classes and other in-
centive programs. Hands of
Hope will provide services to
the moms and their babies until
the childs first birthday.
The program is not a hand-
out, but a hand-up, so that the
clients will gain self-worth
while they learn proper parent-
ing and other life skills.
Donations of baby items and
money for new cribs and car
seats are needed and Hands of
Hope welcome community
members to assist in providing
the necessary items for these
clients. Receipts are given for
all charitable contributions for
tax purposes.
Hands of Hope provides free
pregnancy testing, guidance
and material assistance for
pregnant women and teens and
also post-abortion support for
anyone who requests it.
Referrals are given for med-
ical or legal advice, also to
WIC and other service agen-
cies and for adoption. In the
future, they intend to offer
free first trimester ultra-
sounds and nurse consulta-
tions under the direction of a
medical director. The center
is open on Fridays from 9
a.m.-5 p.m. for walk-ins or by
appointment.
The director of client serv-
ices, Malinda Ricker, is on
staff and several volunteers
have been trained to serve as
receptionists and client sup-
port at Hands of Hope.

quest a volunteer application

Wednesday, June 19, 2013 Paulding County Progress - 5A
In My Opinion
Another community garden?
Yes, you guessed it right, its that time of year again when
a lot of people around Paulding County are planting or have
already planted a garden. It is also the time when some com-
munities make a push forward and try to get a community
garden planted. The Melrose
Community Garden has
been a successful story over
the past few years as the
Melrose United Methodist
Church has taken the initia-
tive to get the garden
worked, planted and weeded
it has produced a bumper
crop for the last two years.
The attempts for a community garden in Paulding and
Grover Hill have not been that successful. The first garden in
Grover Hill produced a small crop while the garden in Pauld-
ing went to weeds. Last year it was so dry that we totally lost
the garden in Grover Hill and there was not one started in
Paulding.
This year, however it is entirely different! The gardens at
Melrose and Grover Hill are both planted and different crops
have started growing. The garden at Grover Hill was worked
early, seed companies were contacted for help with seeds,
plants were started in a local greenhouse and now it is com-
pletely planted.
In my opinion this is a wonderful start to what looks to be
a fabulous Grover Hill Community Garden. Thanks to some
wonderful families who live just outside the village who
planned, tilled and planted the garden. One of the families
made a watering wagon that can be used in case we have a
dry summer. Look out Melrose, I think we are ready for a
most beautiful community garden contest.
Just one other point of interest.this garden is for the
community, rich or poor. In past years there has been a
stigma that it was a garden to help the poor of our commu-
nity, and yes it is, but everyone in the community and even a
person traveling through Grover Hill should feel free to stop
and enjoy some fresh vegetables, or pull a weed or two.
Our intention is that on the Saturday we distribute food at
the Grover Hill Food Pantry, we will also give away any-
thing that can be harvested from the community garden. In
addition to this we have several people who are growing
extra in their personal gardens to give away at the food
pantry.
I hope to see you in church this Sunday; we might have
something in common.

A Penny For
Your Thoughts....
By: Nancy Whitaker
GOING BUGGY
We all love the sun, warm
weather, flowers, swimming
pools, barbecues, fishing and
the sights and smells of sum-
mer.
There are picnics, parades,
garage sales, amusement
parks and flea markets to at-
tend. There are drive-ins,
patio parties, and of course,
picnics.
Have you ever noticed any
uninvited guests that may fly,
crawl, or jump into the midst
of your summertime fun? I
have observed ants, bees,
grasshoppers, wasps and
mosquitoes all trying to make
themselves at home around
my picnic or party.
Needless to say, I am
scared to death of anything
that flies, crawls or jumps. I
really dont care for any of
the bug family and if I run
into one, I hollar and scream
like most gals.
One insect that always
bothers and scares me are
bees. Bees like to fly around
anything sweet scaring on-
lookers with their little beady
eyes and antennas. In fact, a
few years ago, a Texas man
was attacked and killed by a
swarm of more than 40,000
African Killer bees, after he
drove his tractor into a pile of
wood that concealed their
hive. I cannot even imagine
that many bees in one place
or being stung that many
times.
Another insect which bites
and irritates all of us is the
mosquito. Now, for some rea-
son, mosquitoes must not like
me, because they never bite
me. Now, my husband is a
different story. Mosquitoes
love to feast on him, so he
wears a long sleeved shirt if
he is outdoors.
Ants are always a bother.
They are not scary, but they
can get into your food and
ruin it. I am sure we have all
had these in our kitchen at
one time or another. I have
tried various remedies to get
rid of the pesky little things
and have found that sprin-
kling corn meal around their
nest works best.
Another one of our sum-
mertime visitors is the
grasshopper. Nine chances out
of 10, a grasshopper will jump
on me at one time or another
during the summer. I scream,
run, jump up and down and hit
at it. They sit on me, rubbing
their legs together just waiting
for me to holler. I think they
know I am afraid of them and
their tobacco spitting habit.
Of course, during the sum-
mer, there are all kinds of spi-
ders spinning their webs and
looking for their next victim.
No, I dont care for spiders ei-
ther. I know men though who
are scared of spiders, so I am
not alone in that fear.
I know that these insects are
all part of the world of nature
and each serves its own pur-
pose. However, I sometimes
feel that one of their purposes
is to simply scare me and give
me the heebie-jeebies.
Do you ever get uninvited
guests at your outdoor gather-
ings in the summer? Are you
scared of grasshoppers or spi-
ders? Let me know and Ill
give you a Penny for Your
Thoughts.

Area Youth for Christ
Dads, are we making a difference? This Fa-
thers Day may be filled with memories by
many who read my weekly Winning the Bat-
tle for a Generation, especially when you
consider the following story of a seventeen
year old young woman who experienced the
grace of her father.
PreachingToday.com tells the story of
Anne Graham Lotz, who speaks of one partic-
ular moment when her father, Dr. Billy Gra-
ham, demonstrated to her what Christian
fathering is all about.
As a 17-year-old Anne Graham Lotz, was
involved in a car accident. Speeding carelessly
down a windy mountain road, Anne smashed
into her neighbor, Mrs. Pickering.
Anne was too afraid to tell her father about
the accident, so for the rest of the day she kept
avoiding him. When she finally came home,
she tried to tiptoe around her dad, but there he
was, standing in the kitchen.
Anne tells what happened next, I paused
for what seemed a very long moment frozen
in time. Then I ran to him and threw my arms
around his neck. I told him about my wreck,
how Id driven too fast and smashed into the
neighbors car. I told him it wasnt her fault;
