Garbage collection finalized for Antwerp VillageBy JOE SHOUSE

Progress Staff [email protected]

ANTWERP In regular sessionthe Antwerp village council met onMonday evening. Bids for villagewide garbage pick up was announcedas the new collection agreement wasrevealed. The board also heard andaccepted the resignation of its villagescal ofcer, and Councilman KeithWest informed council on the mili-tary tank to be displayed at the park. Beginning April 1, Real Waste willbe Antwerps lone solid waste collec-tor. An ordinance passed authorizingthe village administrator to enter acontract agreement with lowest bid-der Real Waste to collect, transportand dispose of residential solid wastewithin the corporate limits.

Residents will be charged $8.85 permonth for pick up. Billing will be re-ected on the village water and sewerbill. Collection day will be everyThursday with the rst Thursday ofeach month being a day when resi-dents will be permitted to set out largebulky items. Under separate billing, alarge curb cart can be obtained for$24 per year.

Council President Jan Reeb spokein favor of the new service. I thinkthis is a fair and economical way to

not only serve the village but for resi-dents to save money. This will cut mybill in half, Reeb said. Council received the resignationof Loretta Baker as the village scalofcer. The council will begin imme-diately to search for her replacementand Baker has agreed to stay on untila replace is found and proper traininghas been received. Keith West brought council up todate on the military tank that is tobe displayed in the park. The tank iscurrently in the hands of the DeanceVFW. West said the Antwerp VFWwould assume all costs of the tank aswell as ongoing maintenance. In the meantime, council unani-mously voted to draft a letter to ac-cept the tank donation, providing theVFW follows through on its plan. Itis estimated that costs will initially be$12,000-$14,000. A formal contractwill be drawn up and agreed to at alater date. Antwerp resident Dan Gordon waspresent to seek answers to a couple ofissues. His rst concern was about thevillage bus garage and how it appearsthe village is not using the facility inits best interest. We have the bus garage to keepequipment in like the skid loader,trucks, lawn mowers and so on, and

yet often times I see these items ex-posed to all kinds of weather. Whydont we park these things in the ga-rage? I would like to see the garageused as it was intended, Gordonsaid. It was shared that the skid loaderand other equipment is stored at thewater plant, but Mayor Tom Vanv-lerah informed Gordon that the matterwill be reviewed. Gordon also had a concern aboutthe village streets and the wear andtear they receive from large farmequipment. Farm equipment is deterioratingour streets and these large farm vehi-cles are destroying Canal Street. Itscausing far more problems than gar-bage trucks, Gordon said. Council agreed and assured Gor-don that his concern would be lookedinto in greater depth and hopefully asolution can be found.

Also attending the meeting wasMichelle Rider representing Werlor.Although Werlors bid was not ac-cepted, Rider thanked the village fortheir consideration. Real Waste co-owner Ryan Las-siter was present to answer questionsconcerning his business and their pro-cedure for garbage pickup. He alsothanked the council for the opportu-

nity to serve them and the village inthe future. In other business: An ordinance unanimouslypassed allowing the village to enterinto a contract with Harrison and Car-ryall townships for providing emer-gency medical services in 2015.

An ordi nance unanimouslypassed adopting and enacting theAmerican Legal Publishings Ohiobasic code, 2015 edition as the vil-lages code of ordinances.

A motion was passed to pay$1,500 to the Paulding County Eco-nomic Development for its gold-levelmembership. A motion was passed in supportof the ball association with a donationof $200. A motion was unanimouslypassed to extend the re contract withHarrison Township to June 30. Jan Reeb was unanimouslyelected the councils president. Village administrator Sara Keeranreported on the following: The telemetry system ap -proved by council to be replaced bySchweller Electric has been installed.The replacement is to help reduce thecost of telemetry parts by using moregeneric parts that Schweller has im-mediate access to and will result in

quicker repairs. The telemetry is setup on a telephone call out system thatalerts village personnel should prob-lems occur that prevent water frombeing pumped to the tower which canresult in low water pressure and/or nowater to the village. The system alsocan signal sewer lift station problemssuch as pumps not pumping causingsewer overows. The second phase of Safe Routesto School will begin its process witha letter being sent to residents in thenew targeted area informing them ofthe project. Actual construction forthe new sidewalks is projected forspring 2016. A proposal to make Archer Drivea one-way street will be considered.Some residents would like to see thechange while others would like to seeit remain as is. The public servicecommittee will meet in the near futureto consider options. The two lots the village receivedas part of the demolition of twohomes located on Oswalt Street canbe sold after the village has had pos-session for ve years. The ve-yearperiod will conclude July 6; at thattime, the village will pursue sellingthe lots. In the meantime, the villagewill continue to maintain the lots untila sale is made.

CONSTRUCTION CONTINUES Only a few days of work are left to be done before the weather will bring the new barn project onthe fair grounds to a standstill, according to the contractor. He said ridge caps and cupolas cannot be completed until snow is offthe roofs. Last of the cement work will be nished when the weather warms up. Electricians are currently working on the project astheir schedule permits. Since this photo was taken, the roof and most of the siding have been installed on the front building.

Ohio House committee to hold hearing in Van Wert COLUMBUS Speaker ofthe Ohio House Clifford A.Rosenberger (R-Clarksville)has announced that the HouseAgriculture and Rural Devel-opment Committee will hold ahearing to study, discuss and ad-dress the issue of water qualityin Ohio. The committee, led by

Chair Brian Hill (R-Zanesville)and Vice Chair Tony Burkley(R-Payne), will hold its rst ofseveral hearings at 1 p.m. Thurs-day, Jan. 29, at Cooper Farms,6793 U.S. Route 127, Van Wert. As Speaker, one of my mainpriorities is continuing to takeaction on the issue of waterquality in our state, SpeakerRosenberger said. This com-

mittee will build upon legisla-tion passed in previous generalassemblies as well as work withthose in the agriculture commu-nity, state agencies and others,to establish ways to best man-age water quality problems. Ourgoal is to not place blame onanyone or any group but to nda solution that benets all Ohio-ans by protecting our most vitalnatural resources and ensuringclean water for our citizens. The committee will hear fromexperts and local farmers re-garding the issue of water qual-ity and how to address the neg-ative effects of harmful algaeblooms in Lake Erie and other

bodies of water. It is extremely importantthat we hold the rst commit-tee hearing of the 131st GeneralAssembly in northwest Ohio,Rep. Hill said. While the entirestate faces water quality issues,this region has been especially

affected. The goal of this hearingis to reinforce the legislaturescommitment to nding sustain-able solutions for protecting thewater of all Ohioans. As a major food supplier forcustomers all around the UnitedStates, Cooper Farms includes

two divisions: the Live AnimalDivision and the Food Process-ing Division. The companysoperations are located acrossnorthwest and west centralOhio.

It has been made clear thatwater quality will be a high

priority during this General As-sembly and our work needs tostart right away, Rep. Burkleysaid. I am pleased to welcomemy colleagues to the 82nd dis-trict and look forward to rollingup our sleeves and getting towork.

Phone scams

involving fakeIRS calls reported TheProgresshas received two reports from residents about an appar-ent phone scam by callers claiming to be from the IRS. The residents received recorded messages saying that the IRS had fileda lawsuit against them and gave a phone number to call for additionalinformation. The IRS has stated it will never ask for money over the phone, and willnever call or email citizens without sending a letter in the mail first. If you receive one of the scam calls, you should: Contact the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration at1-800-366-4484 or www.tigta.com. Contact the Ohio Attorney Generals Office at 1-800-282-0515 orwww.ohioattorneygeneral.gov. File a report with the Federal Trade Commission at http://frccom-plaintassistant.gov, please add IRS Telephone Scam to the comments

of your complaint. The IRS offers consumers a few warning signs so you can protect your-self and avoid becoming a victim of these crimes: Be wary of any unexpected phone or email communication alleged-ly from the IRS. Dont fall for phone and phishing email scams that use the IRS as alure. Thieves often pose as the IRS using a bogus refund or warnings topay past-due taxes. The IRS usually first contacts people by mail not by phone aboutunpaid taxes. The IRS wont ask for payment using a pre-paid debit card or wiretransfer. The IRS also wont ask for a credit card number over the phone. The IRS doesnt initiate contact with taxpayers by email to requestpersonal or financial information. This includes any type of e-communi-cation, such as text messages and social media channels. The IRS doesnt ask for PINs, passwords or similar confidential in-formation for credit card, bank or other accounts. The IRS urges you to be vigilant against the many different types of taxscams. Their common goal is to steal your money, and often to steal your

identity. Visit the genuine IRS website, IRS.gov, for more on what youshould do to avoid becoming a victim.

Accessibility to

courthouse

is questionedDear Editor, Thanks goes to the Pauld-ing County commissionersfor taking such good care ofour beautiful historic countycourthouse, but issues still

remain. This January a fresh-ly painted handicap parkingspace was noted at the northentrance of the courthouse. While conducting business,and upon walking the corri-dors, came the realization NOentrance to the courthousewas handicap-accessible.Whom that is handicappedor aged, are able to gain en-trance to this building? The steps are steep, andmany of them. Was the issueof handicap accessibilityaddressed by those in chargeat any time, before or duringthe most recent construction?Did anyone consider this is-sue, when the entrances were

refurbished, that perhaps oneside of one entrance couldinclude a ramp? What about an elevator toaccess all oors? Why hasntone been installed, for insideand/or outside access, intothis public building? A dis-abled/aged person would notbe confronted with havingto surmount the obstacle ofsteep steps. Those personswhom require a wheelchaircould possibly utilize a powerlift, or be pushed up with helpfrom an assistant, but that stillleaves the aged without ac-cess. Are there other publicbuildings that are inaccessi-ble? Shouldnt the disabledor aged have the entitlementto enter all buildings, too? IsPaulding County in compli-ance with the ADA act? How much longer willthese issues be on the backburner? It is hoped that aresolution can be achievedwith regard to this issue, inthe near future. What are theanswers; can those in chargeenlighten the citizens ofPaulding County? Concerned citizens ofPaulding County,

Commissioners

respond to letterDear Editor, The commissioners ofceunderstands and appreciatesthe concerns expressed in themost recent letter to the edi-tor. A feasibility study wascompleted by PoggemeyerDesign Group in 1994 for theinstallation of an elevator andan exterior ramp to the court-house. The study concluded

that the addition of an eleva-tor would be best placed onthe west side exterior of thebuilding. This in turn wouldcause other structural issuesalong with degrading the ap-pearance of the building. The study also concludedthat a ramp to the groundoor would have to extend54 feet out either the north orsouth sides of the building.This ramp would only allowaccess to the ground oor of-ces without the installationof an elevator. Because the installation ofan elevator would cause ad-ditional issues with the build-ing and affect the historicalappearance, it was decidedto address the accessibilityin a different route. Withoutbreaking any federal and statelaws, anyone needing servicethrough one of the courts canreceive said service at theCounty Annex Building. TheCounty Annex is completelyhandicap accessible. The other ofces haveadopted a policy of curbsideservice. If any individual isunable to gain access to thecourthouse and wants to dobusiness there, they can callany of the ofces and a repre-

sentative from that ofce willmeet them at the curb to servetheir needs. This practice hasbeen in place since the feasi-bility study was completed. As far as the new handicapparking places, we also recog-nize that handicaps can be indifferent degrees of severity.We would hope that the addi-tional spaces help those withless severe handicaps conductbusiness within the court-house on their own.

In My Opinion

Expanding healthcoverage for Ohioans

By Sherrod BrownU.S. Senator

Since its creation in 1965, Medicaid a joint federal andstate program has provided low-cost health insurance toOhios most vulnerable, including the elderly, physicallydisabled, and children. Beginning in 2014, the health law gaveeach state the opportunity to expand its Medicaid programto cover working families and individuals with incomes upto 138 percent of the federal poverty level. Thanks to Ohios

decision to expand Medicaid, more than 2.8 million Ohioansnow have health insurance. But that health coverage is beingthreatened. If the Ohio legislature doesnt agree to includeMedicaid expansion in its budget this June, more than 450,000Ohioans could immediately lose their health care coverageand Ohio could miss out on more than $2.5 billion each yearin federal funds. Medicaid expansion comes at a low cost to Ohio. For statesthat opted-in, beginning in 2014, the government beganpaying 100 percent of the costs for newly-eligible individuals.Ohio wont pay a dime for the expanded program until 2017 at which point the federal share will never fall to less than 90percent of the costs. Because the federal share of the costs ofthe expanded Medicaid program is so generous, it costs statesless to cover newly-eligible individuals than it does to coverthose individuals who sign up for Medicaid under traditionalstandards.

Already, Ohio has saved $350 million because of Medicaidexpansion and were on track to save even more. We cant

afford to let this program disappear. When people dont have health insurance, we all end uppaying for their medical costs. Without the preventive carecovered by health insurance, low-income Ohioans can faceexpensive emergency room visits that they cant afford to pay.The cost of this care is usually passed on to taxpayers in theform of a hidden tax that costs Ohioans $2.3 billion everyyear approximately $1,000 per insured family. ExpandedMedicaid coverage helps reduce this burden on insuredOhioans while keeping healthcare affordable, saving lives,and saving money.

We all benet from expanding health coverage to those thatneed it most and I urge the Ohio state legislature to includeMedicaid expansion in the budget. We should be helping Ohioans gain health care not cuttingthem off. U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) is a guest columnist forthe Paulding County Progress.

In My Opinion

Preserving the pastfor future generations

By Kim Sutton, presidentJohn Paulding Historical Society

Every January I am lled with ambition to clear out, or-ganize and be ready for the coming new year in orderlyfashion. As with every year, I get side-tracked by something Ind that I totally forgot about and that clean house attitudequickly gets lost. Oh well, this is too good to keep to myself.

When I was the executive director of the Paulding Chamberof Commerce, I was asked to write a column for thePauldingProgressenvisioning what I saw for the future of PauldingCounty. The year was 1999. I came across that letter and Iwould like to share part of what I said way back then The year 2000 will bring about a self-awareness of ourcounty. An awakening if you will, of our heritage andhistory a new appreciation of our past and the historic fab-ric our county was woven with. With that awareness of whowe are and how and why our county was formed, we will beinspired to maintain and preserve the integrity of our historicpast. Who wouldve ever thought that 15 years later I would bestarting my second term as president of the John PauldingHistorical Society?! Not me! Funny how things play out inlife! But theres more I go on By the year 2020 Paulding County will be noted for itswonderfully preserved villages, wildlife areas, museums,scenic rivers, historic canal systems with their aqueducts and

viaducts.... Visitors will escape the hustle and bustle of the metropol-itan cities surrounding the Paulding County area and take adrive down scenic roadways to turn of the century villagesand unspoiled countryside. A canoe trip down our rivers andcreeks or a walk with nature through our parks will refresh thevisitor for a multitude of events, from hometown street carni-vals to historic demonstrations and craft shows. I concluded the article by saying, Visiting Paulding Countywill be a truly unique adventure. A community rich in heritagewill provide an enjoyable and educational experience and wewill be known as the county that loves company! Its fun to look back and read what you wrote so manyyears ago and to see how part of my vision has come true. The last two years as president of JPHS has been a trulywonderful experience. The dedication and hard work of ourvolunteers has made JPHS the successful organization it istoday. 2014 was another successful year for JPHS. Can wepossibly make 2015 better? Im excited with the possibility

and I know the strong will of our volunteers who so selesslygive of themselves to carry out our mission statement:Pre-serving the Past for Future Generations.

Wont you come and help us and be a part of this great mis-sion? Kim Sutton is a guest columnist for the Paulding CountyProgress. The opinions stated are those of the writer, and do not neces-sarily reect that of the newspaper.

Amish-style hog butchering

A lot of work goes into a day of butchering at an Amish home. The Eicher family recently madesausage and still plans to make more breakfast links and brats.

Another week has gone byalready. These last weeks havebeen extra busy with workingon our beef and pork. On Saturday we butcheredthe four pigs we raised. Theywere pretty big already. Af-ter all the hams, pork chops,bacon, and ribs were cut out,the bones were trimmed of

the meat and the meat cutinto strips for the grinder. Thebones were cooked in a bigblack iron kettle. After themeat was soft enough to comeoff the bones, it was taken offand put through the grinder.

The juice that is left fromcooking the meat off thebones is saved and returned tothe kettle after it is measured.We then return the meat andadd our, salt, and pepper tothe kettle to make pon haus(something similar to scrap-ple). After it is cooked to theright thickness it is pouredinto cake pans, baking ware,or whatever you want to use.

After it is cooled you can sliceand fry it as a meat. The lard was rendered in thebig black kettle and we nowhave many gallons of lardagain. It turned out really niceand white. I like when it isntdark from being cooked toolong. The sausage is ground andseasoned. A lot of work goesinto a day of butchering. Westill have some sausage tomake into breakfast links andbrats and more meat that needs

to be packaged for the freezer.We are gradually working onthat this week.Today we are canning beefvegetable soup. We cookedthe beef from the bones to putin the soup. How thankful weare to be able to ll jars andthe freezer with meat for an-other year. Saturday, Jan. 24, daughterSusan will be 19 years old. Itwill also be sister Lizs 46th,so happy birthday wishes toboth of them. The schools closed theirdoors yesterday due to icy

roads. This morning they hada two-hour delay because ofthe roads. It worked out wellyesterday, as I could take Kev-in to get his new leg bracesrepaired. A few screws hadfallen out and he was unableto use the braces. They helphim a lot so we didnt want tohave him be without them toolong. For the new readers of thiscolumn: a few of our childrenhave limb-girdle type 2A mus-cular dystrophy. Kevin needs

the leg braces to help keep hisheels on the ground. They helphim stay balanced when heruns or bikes. Thanks for allyour prayers and encourage-ment. It is not an easy thingto accept, but we know Godmakes no mistakes. We needto put our full trust in God. Congratulations go to Joes

sister Loretta and Henry!They were blessed with theirtenth child. A little girl namedDamaris Joy was born to themon Dec. 31 the nal day of2014. I will share a recipe forhamburger soup.

Tongue scrapers and salad spinners? Are you a packrat, a hoarderor a collector? It has always

been said that one mans junkis another mans treasure andthat is probably true. Somepeople collect wine bottles,salt and pepper shakers, coins,guns, hats, baseball cards,train items, matchbooks,cars and business cards. Ieven know people that collectthe little paper memorials youget when attending a funeral,because my mama collectedthem. Since I have downsized,I dont have nearly as muchroom for collections or doo-dads as I like to call them.However, I have been haunt-ing online websites and shop-

ping in various stores fora few snowmen to displayaround my house. (A few atthis point is 10.) It is very hard to just stickto the necessities that we needand deprive ourselves of thefrivolous items that makeus happy. I remember whenpeople were collecting BeanieBabies, Boyds Bears and statequarters. Many collections anditems are valuable, while oth-ers just mean something to thecollector. Personally, I am drawn tothe old 1950s memorabilia asit brings back memories ofwhen I was growing up. I usedto have quite a collection of 45rpm records, eight -track tapesand cassettes. So many of thesethings change as new technol-ogy constantly comes up withnew products.

Recently I was reading asurvey that included a list ofitems that we should all haveavailable in our homes. I foundthe reading very interesting, be-cause I found out I only had fewof these so-called necessaryitems. The rst item making thelist was a set of screwdrivers. Ihave one screwdriver and I do

have a hammer. I agree, they areuseful. But, I wonder, what didpeople use before screwdrivers?

The next item we should allown and have is a re extin-guisher. What did people usebefore re extinguishers? Theyused a bucket and water to putout res. Remember the buck-et brigade? Another thing the list recom-mended us to all have are thosezip ties. I dont really know thereasoning behind that particularitem, but I dont have any. Infact, I toss the smaller ones offbread wrappers in the trash. A salad spinner made the ne-cessity list. A salad spinner? Ibelieve I had one years ago, butsold it at a garage sale. Beforesalad spinners, we dried our let-

tuce or greens with a cloth or letthem drip dry. Another thing we should allhave on hand (according to thesurvey) is rechargeable batter-ies. These are handy unless youforget to charge them. The next thing I have tried,but dont understand why itmust be deemed a necessity, isdry shampoo. It was reportedthat if you have the dry sham-poo, you can sleep an extra 10minutes in the morning, be-cause you wont have to washyour hair and dry it. I have trieddry shampoo, wasnt impressed

and didnt buy any more. One item I do have is a spray

bottle. According to the report,everyone should own at leastone. I use mine to spray myhair, my cat if it gets into some-thing, and anything else thatneeds sprayed. The next item I am sure ev-eryone owns is a tongue scrap-er. This was the rst time Iheard about a tongue scraperand while it would be nice tohave one, it is not on my list ofnecessary items. I wonder howmany people do scrape theirtongues? Jumper cables, a cast ironskillet and a pepper grinderwere also chosen as necessities,and those items I can relate to

because I have them. While some of these gad-gets are not one of my main ne-cessities, apparently they are tothose who were surveyed. Do you have a Swiss Armyknife, a coffee press, or a carcell phone charger? Whatabout dry shampoo, a tonguescraper or a salad spinner?What would your list of nec-essary items include? Let meknow and Ill give you a Pennyfor Your Thoughts.

While poppy blooms come in several colors and sizes, their seed heads are beauties in their ownright and contain hundreds of seeds. All poppy plants are poisonous, but the seeds (only) from

Papaver somniferumare edible and found in many of our foods.

Its a perfect planting time for poppies If you thought you hadplenty of time to plan thecoming seasons garden, youmight want to think again,especially if you were consid-ering planting poppies fromseed. With the January thawnow past and much of the gar-den laid bare from the snowmelt, its time to begin sprin-kling the poppy seed. Annual poppies (Papaverspp.) are great self-seeders, asanyone who has grown themsoon learns. Once youve

planted poppies in your gar-den, unless you deadhead allthe owers as soon as theyvenished blooming, youll ndthem coming up in your gar-den year after year. Seeds have different needs,with some requiring darknessto germinate and others need-ing light. The general rule forplanting seeds requiring dark-ness is to plant them at a depthof 2-3 times the size of theseed, then lightly cover. Forthose needing light, its bestto just sprinkle them atop thesoil, making sure the top layerhas been worked up a bit, andthen pat them lightly, making

sure to not cover them. Some seeds have a verytough seed coat and needscarifying, which means thattheir seed coat needs to bebroken open somehow. Ar-ticial means of doing thismight be to rub the seedswith sandpaper or in the caseof larger ones, nicking themwith ngernail clippers, tak-ing care to just cut the veryedges. Pre-soaking the seedsbefore planting will also helpto loosen the seed coat.

Stratication is the best wayfor other seeds, and MotherNature takes care of this verywell. Many of the self-seedersbenet from the moist freezingand thawing cycles that occurnaturally throughout winterand this process is what wakesthe seed up and begins germi-nation. Poppies like cool conditionsfor their start in life, but dontexactly need either methodfor germination. Still, the besttime to plant poppy seeds (andI use that term plant loosely)

is mid-to- late winter. Decidewhere you want them, thenbroadcast (sprinkle or scatter)them in that area.

Do it liberally, since pop-pies are ones that require lightto germinate and some are sureto make their way into the darkpockets of soil. If youve evergathered seeds from poppy pods,you know they are plentiful andthats why some literally wontever live to see the light of day.Birds like the seeds too so somemay become a tasty snack for

them. What if theres still snowwhere you want your poppies togrow? No worries! Unless itsa deep drift of snow, just scat-ter them atop the snow and as itmelts, the seeds will be depositedon the top of the soil. Be sure tochoose an area of your gardenthat gets excellent drainage andat least six hours of full sunas poppies require both. Theywont survive where the groundstays soggy. If youve never sown annual

poppy seeds before, theyre re-ally easy to grow, if you get themplanted early enough. The win-dow for planting is pretty large;you can sow them anytime be-tween now and the end of April.Waiting until the weather warmsup reliably will likely result in ascanty crop of plants. Annual poppies are a won-derful ller plant that looks at-tractive coming up in betweenand among other plants. Theyhave a bluish hue to their fo-liage and though the bloomsonly last a day or so, the seedheads are quirky and beauti-ful in their own right and lastmuch, much longer.

Seed displays will be show-ing up any day now in thestores, so pick up a few pack-ets of poppy seeds, bundle up,and get busy gardening. WhenJune gets here and youve gotadorable poppy blooms, youllbe glad you did. Read more at Kylees blog,Our Little Acre, at www.our-littleacre.com and on Face-book at www.facebook.com/OurLittleAcre.

Refuse, fire department

top council agendaBy SAMANTHA

HABERNCorrespondent

PAULDING Paulding Village Counciladdressed a question on refuse pickup, hearda re department report and were updated onfunding two improvement projects during itsJan. 20 meeting. Councilman Randy Daeger presented thesummary of the street committee meeting thatoccurred on Jan. 12. The discussion was onlarge item pick up on the rst Wednesday andFriday of the month. Some residents are placing large items to bepicked up in the alleyways, instead of placingthem at the curb. However, due to alley weightrestrictions, Werlor Inc., which is contractedwith the village for garbage pick up, cannottake the trucks used for large item collectiondown those alleys. The committee did decide to abide by theircontract with Werlor, and all large items mustbe place on the curb for pick up. Councilman Daeger also stated the regulargarbage pick up will still be done in the alley-ways like it was done in the past.

The council also agreed to renew their oneyear contract with Werlor. Councilman Roger Sierer presented thesummary of the Paulding Community FireAssociation (PCFA) meeting held Jan. 14: Fire Chief Todd Weidenhamer proposedthat the PCFA budget remain at $55,000, asit has been for the past six years. This was ap-proved, with the villages budget portion being$18,828.83. Daeger thought that the PCFAmust have been doing something right forthe budget to not have to be changed for thepast six years.

Mayor Greg White wants to talk to Weid-enhamer about attending a village councilmeeting. Cooper Hatchery made a $10,422.72 do-nation for purchase of equipment. The PCFA will be purchasing a rescue

truck to house pieces of equipment needed atall emergency situations. PCFA insurance rating is down, lower-ing the cost for the associations insurance.The rating is based on the condition of trucks,safety record, training and response time. There are currently 19 reghters. In2014, the department had 199 total runs, 19
