CECIL Five persons were injured and taken to area hospitals following a two-vehicle crash on U.S.
24 on Thursday.
According to troopers from the
Ohio State Highway Patrols Van
Wert Post, the crash occurred at
1:21 p.m. July 2 on U.S. 24 at the
intersection of County Road 115
(Emerald Road Extended).
Troopers said a 2011 Mercedes-Benz delivery van, driven by
Kent C. Mattingly, age 60, of Fort
Wayne, was southbound on Road
115 and had stopped at the posted
stop sign at U.S. 24. Mattingly
failed to yield the right of way to
oncoming traffic and pulled into the
path of a 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan driven by Michelle K. Pearson,
age 53, of Defiance.
Pearson, who was traveling eastbound on U.S. 24, struck the right
front of the delivery van as it pulled
into her path. After the initial collision, Pearsons vehicle traveled off
the south side of the roadway, coming to rest in a ditch.
Pearson was transported to
Parkview North Hospital in Fort
Wayne with serious but non-life
threatening injuries.
Three passengers in Pearsons
van were also injured.
The front seat passenger, William
Pearson, age 54, of Defiance, was
transported to the ProMedica Defiance Regional Medical Center with
serious but non-life threatening
injuries. He was later transported
to Parkview North Hospital in Fort
Wayne.
A back seat passenger, Sharon
K. Missler, age 66, of Defiance,

River Regatta not

dead in the water
2nd annual Auglaize event rescheduled for July 11

By JOE SHOUSE
Progress Staff Writer
At press time, the Auglaize River Regatta, scheduled for this Saturday, July
11, will be held, according to Oakwood
Development Corporation director
Damien Morales. However, Morales
cautions that if rain causes additional flooding or becomes a hazard to the
participants, the event will be canceled.
We have changed the date and because of the changes we have lost vendors as well as kayakers who planned to
test the waters. If we cant go this Saturday, we will cancel altogether and try
again next year, he said.

ing pains to endure and work through

according to executive director Damien
Morales.
We learned a lot from last years
event and we are determined to carry
on and see the regatta grow into what
we know it can become, said Morales.
Last year we started from the ground
floor and already we are seeing great
things take place this year. We have

Paulding Village proposes lifting some 2-hour parking limits

By SAMANTHA
HABERN
Correspondent
PAULDING The Paulding Village Council met in a regular meeting
on Monday, July 6.
At the June 15 council meeting,
officials reported that the street committee was working on a new parking
map for downtown, following sever-
al questions and concerns about the

ability to park without getting ticketed.
With this, the council heard the
first reading of Ordinance 1504-15,
which would delete certain sections
of Ordinance 961-87 to provide for
unrestricted parking on certain streets
off the square. Ordinance 1504-15 is
currently being reviewed to match up
to the map.
The villages farmland rental is up
for bid. It is a three-year contract that
ends Aug. 31. The new contract will
start Sept. 1 and will be for the next
farm year. More information will be
available next week.
Councilman Jim Guelde thanked
the guys at the garage for painting
the building.
Several injured in 3-vehicle crash

BROUGHTON Three persons were injured
in a three-vehicle crash at the intersection of
Ohios 613 and 637 on Monday afternoon.
According to the Ohio State Highway Patrols
Van Wert Post, the incident occurred at 1:09 p.m.
July 6 in Jackson Township. A 2011 Chevrolet
Equinox, driven by Jodie L. Kinney, age 51, of
Dublin, Ohio, was traveling southbound on 637
and stopped at the posted stop sign. Troopers said
Kinney failed to yield the right of way to traffic
on 613 and collided with a westbound 2000 Ford
Windstar driven by Kourtney Jo Thomas, age 16,
of Oakwood.
After the initial collision, a 2015 GMC Sierra,
driven by Eric F. Kohart, age 30, of Fostoria, was
struck. Kohart was traveling eastbound on 613
and had stopped at the intersection to yield to oncoming traffic with intentions to make a left turn
onto 637.
Kinney was transported by Paulding EMS to
the Paulding County Hospital with minor injuries. Reportedly, she was trapped in her vehicle
and had to be extricated by emergency responders. Her passenger, Noah P. Kinney, age 14, of
Dublin, was not transported.

Thomas and her passenger, Lauren N. Hill, age
16, of Paulding, were both transported by Grover
Hill EMS to the Paulding County Hospital with
minor injuries.
Kohart did not claim injury.
Alcohol is not believed to be a factor and all
occupants were reportedly wearing seatbelts.
Kinney was issued a citation for failure to yield
to oncoming traffic.
The intersection is part of the traffic detour due
to closure of U.S. 127 in Paulding for a sewer
project. Motorists are being routed onto Ohio
613, Ohio 637 and Ohio 111 back to U.S. 127.
The Ohio State Highway Patrol was assisted
on scene by the Paulding County Sheriffs Office, Paulding Fire/EMS, Grover Hill Fire/EMS,
Gideons Towing and R&O Service.
The Van Wert Post reminds motorists to use
extra caution at intersections, obey stop signs and
yield to oncoming traffic. The Van Wert Post has
handled four stop sign related traffic crashes in
Paulding County since July 1, which has resulted
in 11 individuals suffering injury.
The administrators agenda included a water, sewer and refuse assessment for a residence owned by Sonya
M. Geckle.
Among those attending were Greg
Reinhart and Boy Scouts who observed the evenings proceedings.
The village website is currently being worked on.
The street committee will meet at
5:30 p.m. July 16 regarding concerns

with access to U.S. 127 during the
snow and ice season.
A utility committee meeting will
be held on July 21 at 5:30 p.m.
An executive session was held after the meeting. No additional action
was taken.
The next regular council meeting
will be at 6:30 p.m. on July 20.

make the overall experience
even better.
The second annual Auglaize
River Regatta will be held on
Saturday, July 11 beginning at
10 a.m.
Unlike last year, when registration took place near the
boat dock in Oakwood, this
year registration will be held
at Auglaize Canoe and Kayak
Rentals, located at 24687 Road
207, where the competition
will begin.
One major boost the
regatta has received is
the support of Paulding
County Hospital. This
year the hospital is
wagering some friendly competition within
its employees. Right now
hospital employees have
formed 13 teams that
will participate in the regatta.
I participated in the
regatta last year and had
a great time. With overall
positive health and wellness,
I thought this would be an excellent event to promote both
as well as being something that
our employees would enjoy. I
am more than happy with the
response, said Paulding County Hospital CEO Randy Ruge.
The 3.5-mile canoe and kayak sprint race will be divided

into a youth bracket and adult
bracket. Each bracket will
feature three different events
including a two-person canoe
race, two-person kayak and
one-person kayak race. Registration fee is $5 per person, per
race and can be paid the day of
the event.
Compe- tition will begin at
9 a.m. with
the start of
the first of six races. Canoe and

kayak rental will also be available for $20 per watercraft. The
race course on the Auglaize
River will be 3.5 miles for each
race and will conclude at the
boat dock in Oakwood.
During the races, there will
be activity in downtown Oak-

workforce needs.
We are very proud of our
longstanding partnership with
Vantage, said Voje. We
helped tailor a program that
fills wind farm needs across
the country, while potentially
providing wind turbine and
solar technicians for Iberdrola Renewables. Last year we
were able to institute a veterans scholarship program at
Vantage to help veterans and
their families train for jobs in
the renewable energy sector.
As a veteran, Im very proud
to work for a company where
more than 15% of our operational employees are military
veterans or active duty reserves.
Jeff and Cathy Thomas,
owners and operators of Lincoln Ridge Farms who have a
lease with Blue Creek Wind
Farm, also attended Thursdays visit. The wind farm pays
approximately $2 million in
annual lease payments to local
landowners like the Thomases and $2.7 million in annual
payments to go to local school
districts and municipalities.
Owned by Iberdrola Renewables and operating since
June 2012, Blue Creek Wind
Farm has 115 turbines in Van
Wert County and 37 turbines
in Paulding County. During
the construction phase of the
project, the farm created more
than 500 construction jobs,
generated $25 million in local
spending, and created work for
more than 30 Ohio companies
that contributed parts or labor.
Brown has been a longtime
supporter of wind energy and
boosting the domestic manufacture of wind turbines used
in wind farms like Blue Creek.
Brown supported the bipartisan extension of the critical
1603 clean energy grant program, which will be used to
finance the Blue Creek project,

This year we have set three
goals for the regatta. First, we
want to help local businesses
and we will do that with the
participation coming from the
community along with out-oftown visitors to the regatta,
said Morales.
Secondly, with the hospital on board, and this
event being outdoors
and offering a certain amount of exercise, we want to have
a good time but at the
same time encourage
wellness.
Thirdly, we want the regatta
to grow and become an event
that families can attend and
enjoy the rivers, Morales
continued. So, we are emphasizing local commerce,
wellness and a family friendly
summer activity. Those three
goals lays a perfect foundation for a positive event on a
summer day in rural Paulding
County.

and was included in the tax extenders package passed by the
Senate in December 2010.
After the Blue Creek Wind
Farm visit, the senator traveled
to Paulding, where he first met
with several local leaders at the
Paulding County Economic
Development Office, then with
county Emergency Management Agency director Ed Bohn
regarding recent flood damage that occurred in Paulding
County.
Brown talked with Bohn,
EMA volunteer Phil Wells and
county Commissioner Mark
Holtsberry behind the school
on Emerald Road, where several nearby homes were impacted by high water last weekend.
Bohn expressed concern that
there appears to be less grant
funding for fire departments
available through Department
of Homeland Security than had
been available since the 9/11
attacks, and urged the senator
not to let funding slip away.
They also discussed the
process for obtaining disaster
declarations. Flood damage
doesnt appear to be enough to
warrant a presidential declaration, Bohn remarked.
The county engineers office and Ohio Department of
Transportation are evaluating
damage to roads and bridges in
the county, Bohn said.
In another matter, Holtsberry told Sen. Brown that for
many years, he worked through
the Veterans Administration
to obtain headstones to mark
graves of veterans who had no
markers. About two to three
years ago, he stopped getting
them, apparently because a
family member must make the
request. Often, the veterans
graves are very old and there
is no family left here to speak
on their behalf. Brown said he
would check into the situation.

More weddings in the works
There is a lot of activity going on around here this week.

Our neighbors Abe and Fredia
are taking our old pole barn
down to save the lumber that
is still good enough to reuse.
Abe, his sons, my husband
Joe, and our boys have been
busy taking it all apart. Last
night they finished saving the
rafters. Today the walls were
taken down and all the wood
thats not reusable is being
burned as I write this.
Our neighbor Marlin cut our
oats and he will bale that crop
for us. Neighbor Harlan is here
digging the water line and hooking up more solar power. All
three men and Joe work in RV
factories and are on vacation this
week. It isnt proving to be much
of a vacation for them.
Joe and the boys are building
a work bench in the new pole
building when time allows. They
want to organize all the tools.
Daughter Elizabeth is also
on vacation for two weeks. The
bad news is she is laid up with
double pneumonia. She sure has
had a hard time to recover. The
doctor put her on some pretty
strong antibiotics and she had
to go back in for another shot.
The doctor said if she didnt
improve with everything she is
taking, then she would have to
be admitted to the hospital.
She showed improvement
the next day, so hopefully she
can keep recovering at home.
She has a hard time accepting
the fact that she needs rest in
order to get better. I think she
worries too much that we wont
get things done before her wedding. Im sure everything will
fall into place. With all the extra projects going on, it did look
hopeless for a while.
Tomorrow, July 1, is daughter
Lorettas 15th birthday. Her age
is always easy to remember as
she was born in the year 2000.
We have two more wedding
invitations on our refrigerator.
Niece Katie Edna and Ben are
getting married on July 23. I
was asked to be a cook. Mose
and Susan and Verena will all
be table waiters. This wedding
is in Berne, Ind.
And congratulations also go
to Leander and Karen. They
picked Aug. 28 for their special day. This wedding is in our
community.

Are cover crops an option with all the wet weather?
By Sarah Noggle
OSU Extension Educator
With the excess rain/flooding and
wheat to be harvested, farmers are
thinking about delayed planting
(unharvested) OR planting/replanting for a quick forage or cash crop.
There are four major types of cover crops including grasses, legumes,
brassicas, and others.
Major grasses include oats,
wheat, cereal rye, annual ryegrass,
Sudan-sorghum, and barley. These
grasses are often grown before soybeans, may absorb left over nitrogen
from fertilizer or manure, are good
erosion fighters, and reduce soil
compaction.
Sorghum Sudan (seeded at 30#/A)
can be harvested this summer 1-2
times if planted soon, oats (32-64#
or 1-2 bushel) may produce 1-3 dry
tons of forage in late fall, and cereal
rye (60-120#/A or 1-2 bushels) may
produce 3-4 dry tons if harvested
next spring. Under delayed planting and crop insurance rules, cover
crops need be left unharvested in the
field.
Sorghum Sudan is a summer annual that dies with the first frost so
it needs to be seeded as soon as possible. Mow or chop after it grows
3 feet tall to promote tillering with
5-9 times more root growth after
Water-damaged areas may be a great place for cover crops
cutting.
Oats winter kills with temperatures below 20F, has good root
growth, easy to plant and manage,
and no need for herbicide in spring.
Wheat seed (1 bushel) is easy to
find; however, it is harder to kill in
spring and has a poorer root system than cereal rye. Avoid planting
wheat before Hessian fly free date
to reduce pathogen or disease problems.
Triticale (winter annual drilled at
50-90#/A) and Teff (summer annual drilled 4-8#/A shallow) are good
cover crops for forages. Barley
(winter annual) makes excellent cattle feed for forage or grain. Barley
(drilled at 50-75#/A) may be harvested 2-3 weeks before wheat and
is good for producing double crop
soybeans next year.
Pearl Millet (summer annual
drilled at 10-15#/A) is a fast grower,
good for short growing windows,
good for heat or droughty conditions and excellent for grazing or
forage value. Cereal rye improves
soil structure, suppresses weeds,
and makes a good forage.
Legumes produce nitrogen, have
a large taproot, and are generally

DEFIANCE The Ohio

Emergency Nurses Association
has named Jenny Yeager, RN,
BSN, manager of the Emergency Center at Mercy Defiance
Hospital, Nurse Manager of the

The award was presented at
the groups recent awards banquet in Perrysburg. The award
recognizes consistently demonstrated excellence in emergency

mixtures producing 75-100# N but

has a higher C:N ratio so it takes
longer to release N than other legumes. Sweet Clover (8-10#/A) has
a deep tap root, tolerates wet soils,
produces 125- 200#N, improves soil
drainage and suppresses weeds.
Brassicas include Daikon (white
root) radishes (3-4#/A) and turnips (1-3#/A) and are good for improving water infiltration and soil
structure, kill or suppress broadleaf
weeds, and they accumulate soil
nutrients (N-P-K). Radishes die at
15F and have bad smell when they
decompose. They fumigate the soil
and promote earthworms. The root
is 80% water and decays quickly
when soils warm up. Radish grows
well under cooler wetter conditions
in late summer and early fall and
works well in cover crop mixtures.
Turnips are a winter annual with
shorter taproot and bulb that can be
grazed.
Other brassicas include rape (35#/A) and kale (2-5#/A) which are
small seeded winter annuals that
survive the winter and can be planted in mid- October.

grown before corn. Austrian winter

peas (inoculated and drilled at 2024#/A)) grow 5 feet long but generally die with first frost; however,
they may add 100-120#N to soil.
Cowpeas (30- 40#/A) is planted
after wheat, needs very little moisture to germinate, grows well in
summer heat but dies with first frost.
Cowpeas may accumulate 125-135
#N if inoculated and work well in
mixtures because they are shade tolerant.
Sunn hemp (summer annual
drilled at 10-15#/A)) may get 1015 feet tall with yellow flowers, and
may produce 200#N (marble size
nodules if inoculated), works well
in mixture, but dies with frost.

Crimson
clover
(10-20#/A)
works well in mixtures with Daikon
radish (same size seed). If inoculated, crimson clover can produce
100-125#N but needs to be planted
by early September to maximize
growth. Crimson clover should survive most winters and be allowed to
grow as long as possible in spring
to maximize N potential (bright red
crimson flower).
Red Clover (12-15#/A) tolerates
wet soils and can be included in
al, good for surface compaction,

attracts beneficial insects and
honey bees, and is often used in
mixtures. Sunflowers (summer
annuals drilled 5-10#/A) with deep
roots that loosen soils, works well
with peas or climbing cover crops,
and attract bees and beneficial insects.
Cover crops are often seeded in
mixtures. To determine seeding rate
in mixtures, divide the full seeding
rate by the number of crops in the
mixture to get an approximate seeding rate for each cover crop.
As I sit as one of the two Ohio
representatives for the Midwest
Cover Crops Council (MCCC),
there are many online tools our
12-state group plus Ontario, Canada
has organized to help formula mixes
of cover crops. These resources can
be found at www.mccc.msu.edu/.
For additional questions on formulating cover crops mixtures or
obtaining a copy of the Midwest
Cover Crops Field Guide 2nd Edition which Noggle helped author,
one can walk in the OSU Extension
Office at 503 Fairground Drive,
Paulding, or call 419-399-8225. For
specific questions an appointment
could be set up with Sarah Noggle

Usually they say that the
corn should be knee high by
the fourth of July. Thats certainly is not the case as you
gaze at many of the local farm
fields. But the calendar never
lies and last weekend we still
celebrated our nations birth.
However, this year, I am beginning to think we are living
in a monsoon. My grill is patiently awaiting to cook some
burgers, my park benches are
waiting for a nice coat of paint
and I am just ready for some
sunshine.
Last weekend, whether you
celebrated with family, hung
out with friends at a barbecue,
attended a parade or a ball
game, Independence Day is a
true slice of America.
One of the most popular traditions is setting off fireworks
and like any other year, all
over the U.S., from Maine to
California, the sky lit up to the
satisfaction of onlookers of all
ages.
One of my familys favorite things to do, on the fourth
was to go to see a fireworks
display. Packing up blankets,
popcorn and drinks, we would
head out for the venue before
10 p.m.
One thing that was always
fun to do and I am sure it aggravated people, was to ooh
and aah at the fireworks. If
a firework turned out to be a
dud everyone would groan
and moan, aww. However, a
bright, loud firework would
A Penny for
Your Thoughts
By
Nancy Whitaker
bring cheers of aah. So basically, you could hear oohs or
aahs all over the grounds.
Even though it is probably
illegal to set off your own fireworks, people still do it. Im
sure many of you sat out side
and viewed your neighbors
own display as it cracked the
sky with bursts of bright lights
and shrill sounds. Its just one
of those ways we honor this
great country of ours.
Of course, not to be completely lost in all the fun is the
holidays true meaning: the legal separation of the American
colonies from Great Britain,
and the commemoration of the
adoption of the Declaration of
Independence on July 4, 1776.
Arguably the days biggest
celebration, Washington D.C.
features a free concert performed on the west lawn of
the Capitol, which is viewed
and heard by millions across

the country. It seems like we
Americans love a reason to
celebrate.
Patriotic music has always
been a part of our July 4 celebration. From the Battle
Hymn of the Republic to the
Star Spangled Banner, you
probably heard those tunes ring
in recent days. I dont know
about you but I never get tired
of hearing patriotic music.
One of the more popular
songs you probably heard
in addition to our National
Anthem, is God Bless the
U.S.A. by Lee Greenwood.
This song is the most widely
played and listened to by many
during this time of summer celebration. I admit, it is a song I
truly love.
Other songs in the nation played on our Independence Day are: Party in the
U.S.A.; Born in the U.S.A.;
R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A.;
America the Beautiful; and
American Girl.
So even if you cant sing,
hopefully you enjoyed a parade, a fireworks display even
if it was your neighbors, and
certainly you raised the colors
of old glory and recalled those
who fought for our freedom.
And yes, God Bless the U.S.A.
What did you do to celebrate
Independence Day? Did you
ooh and aaah at fireworks? Did
you hear any of these songs?
Let me know and Ill give you
a Penny for Your Thoughts.

What are fairy rings?

By Staci Miller
Education specialist
Paulding SWCD

Are your lawns forming magical rings in the
grass? Due to the recent heavy rainfalls and warm
temperatures many home owners are discovering
fairy rings.

They are dark green circles, arcs, or rings of
thick, fast-growing grass that develop anytime
from green-up in the spring through the heat of
summer until the first hard frost in the fall. These
rings are most commonly between 2 and 15 feet in
diameter, although they may be larger or smaller.

Mushrooms or puffballs may appear under
wet conditions in the same ring pattern. In some
cases, a ring of brown or dead grass may appear.

Fairy rings are caused by many different
soil-inhabiting fungi of the class Basidiomycetes.
Fairy ring fungi do not attack grass directly, but
break down organic matter in the soil. As a result,
nitrogen is released which the grass uses, causing
it to grow and develop a contrasting green ring.

The mushrooms that appear after rainfall are
the fruiting bodies of the fungus. Fairy rings break
down organic material such as old tree stumps,
roots, logs, lumber and other larger pieces of
organic material in the soil below the lawn. Once
this material is depleted, the fairy ring will disappear, but it may take a significant amount of time.

Several fairy rings may appear relatively
close together, especially on lawns that exist on
sites that were previously wooded areas. When
this occurs, it becomes noticeable that fairy rings
do not cross each other, as fungal activity ceases
when fungi from different rings contact each
other.
COLUMBUS As of the last

week of June, Ohio had recorded
76 more traffic deaths in 2015
than at the same time a year ago.
This 19 percent increase has inspired the Ohio State Highway
Patrol (OSHP) and the Ohio
Department of Transportation
(ODOT) to join forces with a new
initiative utilizing ODOT digital
message boards to spread traffic
safety messages.
The messages were displayed
for the first time during the Fourth
of July weekend and continue for
a trial period.
The 130 permanent boards
in the urban areas and numerous portable message boards
throughout the state will rotate
between two messages: the yearto-date number of traffic deaths
of 2015 and a traffic safety message such as Drive Sober or Get
Pulled Over. The goal is to motivate motorists to exercise caution
while behind the wheel.
Most traffic crashes can be
prevented if the driver slows
down, buckles up or avoids driving impaired.
Locally, portable message
boards will be placed at the following locations:
Interstate 75 southbound
south of Bluffton
U.S. 30 eastbound east of the

aulding/Van Wert County line
U.S. 68 northbound just north
of the Hardin/Hancock County
line
Ohio 15 westbound west of
Ohio 37
U.S. 24 eastbound just east
of the Paulding/Defiance County
line
U.S. 23 northbound just north
of the Wyandot/Marion County
line.
The portable boards will be
moved to other locations and
continue to display safety messages throughout the year.
Traffic deaths were significantly higher during January,
February, and May of this year
compared to 2014. In fact, May
2015 was the worst May for traffic deaths in a decade.
The largest increase was
among drivers under the age of
25. Fatal crashes involving alcohol tripled and the number of
deadly crashes involving people
not wearing a seat belt doubled
during the month of May.
This increase in fatalities is
unsettling, said Colonel Paul A.
Pride, Patrol superintendent. We
hope that by coupling the Patrols
enforcement with the highly visible ODOT signs, we can impact

driver behavior and save some

lives.
OSHP and ODOT chose
to partner in time for the July
Fourth holiday period, as this
weekend typically sees an increase in traffic fatalities and
impaired driving. In the four-day
2014 reporting period, 12 people
died in 11 fatal crashes. Of those
crashes, five were OVI-related,
resulting in six deaths. OSHP
made 761 OVI arrests.
Our top priority is always
safety, said ODOT director Jerry
Wray. Like the Highway Patrol,
we are concerned about the increased number of deaths on our
roads and highways. These arent
just statistics, but someones father or mother, daughter or son.
Digital message boards will
display these messages 24 hours
per day on weekends and from 9
p.m.-5 a.m. on weekdays, unless
there is a higher priority message.
The boards will update with
the new year-to-date number of
confirmed deaths every Thursday
night. That number is calculated
using police reports from agencies statewide, including OSHP.
It includes provisional fatalities that have been identified
through early warning systems
but have not been confirmed.

YOUR HOME IMPROVEMENT STORE

There are approximately 50 species of fungi
known to form fairy rings in turf, with Marasmius
oreades, Agaricus campestris, Lycoperdon spp,
and Scleroderma spp being the most common.
These fungi decompose organic debris in the soil
and thatch.

A fairy ring starts from a piece of mycelium
or spore at a single point feeding in the thatch
layer or organic soil matter. The uniform outward
growth of the fungus results in the development of
rings.

Under certain conditions, and with certain
fairy ring fungi, a ring of dead grass develops.
Some of the responsible fungi have been shown
to penetrate and kill root cells resulting in dead
rings of grass. There are some ways to cover up
the fairy rings or remove the fairy rings if they
become a nuisance to your lawn.

The use of a nitrogen fertilizer can mask the
symptoms of fairy ring by causing the rest of the
lawn to green up. You can remove the fairy ring
and get to the root of the problem by identifying
and removing the organic debris that caused the
ring to form then establish a new lawn by planting
clean, ring-free sod for your new lawn space.

Another option is to eliminate thatch buildup
with a dethatching program.

There are fungicides available for suppression of fairy rings; however, results may be only
temporary as the decaying material may still be
present.

Sources of information for this article were
provided by Missouri Botanical Garden.

The fairy rings are truly a natural process that
can add some character to your lawn and can be a
conservation piece for you and your neighbors.

ANTWERP Superintendent Patricia Ross and principals Mike Bute and
Tim Manz reported on a variety of issues
during the regular Antwerp Local School
Board meeting for June. Testing results,
approval of contracts and handbooks
along with the unveiling of the 2015-16
school calendar were shared.
Middle school/high school principal
Mike Bute shared in detail the results
of the Ohio graduation tests taken by
the sophomore class. According to Bute
there are five levels of scoring the test; advanced, accelerated, proficient, basic and
limited. The top three levels is a passing
grade with basic and limited not passing.
We had 53 sophomores take the test
with 87 percent passing, said Bute.
In his year end report, Bute commented
that two incidences of bullying were reported during the second semester.
Bute also discussed the change for
Saturday school for the upcoming
school year. Bute shared the new Saturday schedule that will now be held after
school on Friday. For high school and
middle school students it will be held
from 3-5 p.m. and elementary students
will convene from 2:45-4 p.m.
Elementary principal Tim Manz reported good news concerning the results
of the third grade reading tests that each
third grade student is required to pass in
order to move to the next grade.
Its exciting to report that all of our
students, 100 percent, past the test, said
Manz
Manz reminded the board that student
fees will be $65 for elementary students.
The principal recognized student Morgan Kniceley who recently was named
as one of the regional winners of the
Ohio Severe Weather Awareness poster
contest. Kniceley will now participate
in the state competition in Columbus on
Aug. 8.

In her brief report, Ross said that staffing for the upcoming year is complete
with all hires in place.
The bus fleet has been inspected. Nine
busses were inspected with eight passing. The lone bus that failed was discovered with a leak in a brake line. The bus
is scheduled to be repaired in the next
few days according to Ross.
Concerning outstanding student fees,
Ross is hopeful the new student handbook will help eliminate large balances
that some students carry and still owe the
school.
Just in the high school alone we have
more than $13,000 owed with some students owing close to $500. We want parents or those responsible to do what they
can to pay these fees. All we ask is that
they come in and set up a payment plan
that will work for them, said Ross.
The school calendar for the 2015-16
school year was distributed. The first day
of school for students is August 18. The
final day scheduled for classes is May
18, 2016 with graduation set for May 22.
IT Director Harold Gottke reported
that AEP has reimbursed the district a
$17,512.04 rebate for taking steps to
conserve electricity. Gottke reported
how the electric bill for a recent month
was $10,000 less than for the same
month last year.
Gottke updated the board that 77 laptops have been purchased along with
250 Chromebooks.
With the purchase of the laptops, everyone in the high school has the same
kind of device. The chrome books cost
approximately $237 per unit, said
Gottke.
The following consent items were approved:
One year teaching contracts for
2015-16 school year for Alyssa Saylor,
Marie Plassman and Jason Hale.
One year supplemental contracts for
the 2015-16 school year for Kara Eicher,

2016 Executive Budget cuts

Western Buckeye funding
VAN WERT The Western
Buckeye ESC Governing Board
held its regular monthly board
meeting last Tuesday, June 30
at the Van Wert ESC office.
Superintendent Brian Gerber
updated the board on Governor
Kasichs executive budget. The
amendment adopted by conference committee indicates that
Educational Service Centers
(ESCs) were cut $2.3 million in
fiscal year 2016.
This is actually consistent
with the Executive and Housepassed funding levels, not the
Senate. ESCs are the leader in
the Shared Services Model.
Governor Kasich has always
trumpeted reducing costs
through shared services. ESCs
are doing everything the Governor has asked us to do during
his tenure. ESCs have reduced
the cost to our partner schools
through our shared service delivery model, said Gerber.
However, Governor Kasich
and the House saw a need to
propose a cut to ESCs in the
amount of $2.3 million in FY16.
The Senate did not support this
cut, but there wasnt enough
support for ESC funding as it
was voted out of conference
committee.
My biggest disappointment
is with the House. They have
traditionally supported ESC
funding during the past two biennial budgets. During Kasichs
tenure as governor, his desire to
cut ESC funding has been obvious. It began with his very first
executive budget proposal for
FY12. Nonetheless, I was confident that the House saw the
educational value the ESCs provided for their school districts. I
was hopeful the House would
support restoring our funding
or at the very least keep ESCs
funded at a flat level. We didnt
expect additional funding. We
were counting on flat funding in
FY16. It just didnt happen with
this Executive Budget, continued Gerber.
Western Buckeye ESC
has been able to keep costs

flat or even reduce cost to the
schools in Van Wert and Paulding County. Western Buckeye ESC is in the top 10 rural
ESCs in the state of Ohio that
provide a higher percentage
of direct student services than
their suburban or urban counterparts. We have been able to
accomplish this goal by being
fiscally responsible in reducing
overhead costs and personnel
cost without negatively impacting our level of service. The
Western Buckeye ESC shared
service delivery model reduces
cost by sharing speech, OT, PT,
PTAs, OTAs, gifted personnel,
school psychologists, and grant
writing. We have a Resource
Center/Alternative School that
serves E.D. students in which
weve been able to keep costs
flat and serve those students
who perform better in an alternative setting rather than in a
public school environment.
We also provide non instructional support by paying for
bus driver physicals, bus driver
in-services, teacher licensure,
Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation/FBI background
checks, maintenance of LPDC
licensure, parent mentoring, and
truancy officer. Even though the
Executive Budget is going to cut
funding for ESCs in Fiscal Year
2016, the Western Buckeye
ESC will continue its proud tradition in providing their current
level of services for the schools
in Van Wert and Paulding
County.

the board:

The event is free and open to the public.
Foxglove, seen here at Longwood Gardens in Pennsylvania, is one of the gardens toxic plants,
when ingested. Kids can be unpredictable, so supervision is needed if you grow this and children
visit your gardens.
Poisonous posies in the potager

When our first grandchild
was born in 2012, some profound changes occurred in our
lives. Grandparents the world
over know just what an effect
those little human beings have
in so many ways you didnt
even know they could. But
one thing happened here at
Our Little Acre that I hadnt
counted on, probably because
I wasnt much of a gardener
when our own girls were
growing up.
Over the years, as Ive
learned more and more about
the plants we grow here, I realize that not only are we growing edibles, were growing
things that are very much not
edible, right alongside them.
And so are you.
As I shared this newfound
knowledge with Grandpa, the
worrier in him emerged and
I was informed that I needed
to remove all the dangerous
plants from the garden and
the house, so when Hannah
and any future grandchildren
came for a visit, we wouldnt
be responsible for injuries or
making them sick.
Really? How on earth did
our own two girls ever survive their parents ignorance
in allowing them to live every
day in the presence of such
dangers? We cautioned them
about the rose thorns and the
poison ivy. We put a locked
gate on the fence around our
swimming pool. We didnt let
them eat bird eggs. Oh, wait...
As a grandparent, for some
odd reason the level of caution
increases a bit over that which
we had for our own children,
but I knew it wasnt necessary
to dig up half my garden just
to keep our grandkids safe. I
simply learned what was poisonous and vowed to watch
Hannah extra closely.
Some things weve grown
in our garden are well-known
poison providers castor bean
plant (Ricinus communis),
for instance. Though its a
gorgeous, fast-growing, tropical-looking plant, all parts
(especially the seeds) contain
the toxin ricin.
Those delightful daffodils
are toxic to the core, which
is likely why squirrels leave
the bulbs alone. The bulbs
are especially dangerous,
but all parts of the plants are
In the
Garden
By
Kylee Baumle
poisonous and just handling
the leaves or stems can cause
a burning sensation on your
skin. Its wise to use gloves
when gardening around both
daffodils and jonquils. Who
knew?
Foxglove (Digitalis purpurea) is gorgeous, but dont
even think about eating it. The
heart medicine digitalis or digoxin is derived from foxglove
plant parts and is sometimes
used to control heart rate.
Just because one part of the
plant is edible doesnt mean
the entire plant is. Take rhubarb, for example. Those rosy
stems are yummy in pies, jams,
and cobblers, right? Well, dont
mistakenly think that you can
add the leaves at the end of
those stems to your salads.
Rhubarb leaves contain
high quantities of oxalates
and when you eat too much of
them, youll get sick. So dont
eat that part. The stems also
contain much smaller quantities of it, but not enough to
cause much of an effect. Other
things have it cabbage, spinach and beet tops, just to name
a few but in lower, acceptable levels.
What does oxalic acid do?
It contributes to kidney and

bladder stones, for one thing,
so if youre prone to developing these things, you might not
want to nosh on veggies that
are known to contain higher
levels of oxalic acid.
Other toxic plants include
Rhododendron, monkshood
(Aconitum) lily-of-the-valley,
Hydrangea, larkspur, English
ivy, Euonymus, yews (Taxus),
and Wisteria.
Of course, a plant doesnt
have to be poisonous to be
dangerous to children. Besides
the obvious rose, other thorny
plants to watch out for include
cactus varieties, barberry (Berberis), blackberries, and firethorn (Pyracantha).
Plants in the Euphorbia
genus (includes Poinsettia)
have a milky sap that can be
extremely irritating to the
skin and can cause blindness
if it gets in your eye. Some
euphorbias have thorns along
with the sap, making them
doubly dangerous.
Some of the plants I mentioned will affect some people
more than others, while some
of the plants are just plain
toxic for everyone. Quantities
ingested will affect the reaction too, but all of them are
potentially dangerous.
All of this doesnt make
a garden sound like a very
friendly place for kids, does
it? Not at all. Some common
sense and supervision are all
thats needed two things that
go a long way toward raising
good and healthy kids, both in
and out of the garden.

the purpose and importance of

having life insurance.
John Manz of Manz Accounting was present to explain
this program. He stressed the
importance of having a life
insurance policy. Thirty-nine
percent of men do not have insurance, 43 percent of women
do not have life insurance and
over 65 percent of all people
are underinsured. Manz used
the word DIMES to describe
the importance of having life
insurance:
D is for death. The cost of
a funeral is variable depending on the choices of the family. An average funeral costs
around $10,000.
I is for the income for the
family that remains. How will
they survive especially if the
one who was the breadwinner
is now gone?
M is for the mortgage left
on the house or the debt that is
left behind.
E is the education for the
children that are in the family.
S is for the special needs
of a family member who cannot take care of themselves.
Oakwood Arbor will be
