Village administrator

Harry Wiebe presented coun-cil with an administrator’sagenda that included infor-mation regarding a “Noticeof Violation – ActionRequired” by the Ohio EPA.

The violation was present-

ed in a letter, dated July 9,stating that for the first 16days of June, the turbidity(cloudiness) level of thewater being produced by thewater treatment plant failedto meet the standards set bythe Ohio EPA and was in vio-lation of EPA rule 3745-81-

73(A)(1). In layman’s terms,the water being produced bythe water plant had too manymicroscopic (not visible tothe naked eye) particles in it.

By JOE SHOUSE • Correspondent Part 1 of 2

It’s hard to believe how the summer is quick-ly disappearing and the start of school is just

around the corner. School supplies are in thestores, and before you know it, the classroom bell will ring sounding the first day of school.For many teachers and school personnel, asummer vacation is becoming extinct.

In small districts, teachers and secretariesoften wear more than one hat. They find them-selves working throughout the summer tomake learning more exciting for their studentsand their district even stronger when the newschool year begins.

With college classes to take, sports camps tooversee, and the responsibility of extracurricu-lar activities, many teachers spend their sum-mers with little time off as they invest in theoverall program of their local school district.

Several of these hardworking people took afew minutes to share some of their summer

plans; after hearing their schedule and learningabout how they dedicate so much of their sum-mer back to the school and students, you can’thelp but appreciate their service and loyaltygiven during the summer.

Amy Sorrell and her yearbook staff justcompleted putting the final touches on theAntwerp yearbook. Working feverishlythrough the month of June, the process wasunique in that the staff did not use an outsideyearbook company. All the work was done in-house, according to Sorrell.

“It was a chronological yearbook and there-fore we had to use the month of June to complete the May portion of the project.”

Sorrell, the high school language arts teacher

at Antwerp High School, stepped outside the box and challenged her yearbook staff. Thisyear, Sorrell, along with four seniors, two jun-iors and a sophomore, worked together to de-velop, produce and self-publish the yearbook.In her relationship with other schools in thearea, Sorrell believes Antwerp is the onlyschool in the area who attempted this type of project.

“I have talked to several friends of mine inother school districts and they are anxious tohear from me on how this worked out.”

This is the first year Antwerp has self-pub-lished their year book.

“It was a lot of work and since it was done inchronological order, we would focus on schoolevents one week at a time and then each week we would edit and proofread our work,” said

Sorrell.The in-house project allowed the students to

be more engaged in the process.“By doing this in house we were able to

spend less time selling ads for the book and atthe same time lowering the cost of the yearbook. I believe we were able to save thousandsof dollars,” said Sorrell.

In addition to the high school year book, asmaller, 24-page elementary yearbook will be

WHEAT HARVEST UNDER WAY - Farmers around Paulding Countybreathed a sigh of relief as field conditions improved to a point where wheatharvest could finally begin late last week. Although fields appeared ready for harvest, rains kept heavy equipment off soaked soils until Friday or Saturdayin many areas. Although the official rainfall at the Paulding Water Plant for

the month was 1.68 inches as of July 15, spotty downpours through the pe-riod provided much more than that in certain regions around the county.Here, wheat was taken off Monday afternoon in Emerald Township alongRoad 123. The combine is operated by Straley & Son Farms, Paulding.

Paulding SWCD Never seen before in North

America, a swine virus that isdeadly to young pigs has beenreported in 13 states. A total of 199 farms so far have seen theresults of this PorcineEpidemic Diarrhea virus(PEDV).

Iowa, the largest U.S. hogproducer, has reported 102sites as of June 10. This stateraises on the average 30 mil-lion hogs each year, accordingto the Iowa Pork ProducersAssociation.

PEDV, most often fatal tovery young pigs, causes diar-rhea, vomiting and dehydra-tion. It also sickens older hogs,though their survival rate tendsto be high. The virus does notpose a health risk to humans or other animals. Meat fromPEDV-infected hogs is safe for people to eat, according to fed-eral officials and livestock

economists.But the virus, which isspreading rapidly across theUnited States, is proving hard-er to control than previouslybelieved. In addition to Iowa,there has been the states of Oklahoma, Minnesota,Indiana, Arkansas, Colorado,Kansas, Illinois, Michigan,

Missouri, Pennsylvania, SouthDakota and Ohio which havereported and confirmed thevirus.

Investigators and swine vet-erinarians working with theU.S. Agriculture Departmentare trying to determine how thevirus is spreading from farm tofarm and from state to state.Focus is on the nation’s live-

stock transportation system.PEDV is spread most com-monly by pigs ingesting con-taminated feces. Truck trailersmarred with contaminatedfeces or a person wearing dirty

boots or with dirty nails are

prime suspects.The strain of the PEDV

virus is making its way acrossthe nation’s hog farms andslaughter houses is 99.4% sim-ilar in genetic structure to thePEDV that hit China’s herdslast year, according to the U.S.researchers. But there is no di-rect connection found betweenthe U.S. outbreak and previ-

ously identified outbreaks inAsia and Europe say scientistsand researchers.

Keep a close eye on swineactivity on your farm and re-

port any unusual mortalitycounts to OSU Extension.

According to the EPA let-ter, “Turbidity has no healtheffects so you were not ad-vised to take any action.”

The good news is that thehigh turbidity levels from thefirst 16 days of June werefrom water produced by theold water treatment plant.The new water treatment

plant went on line on June 17;according to an Ohio EPA re-

port, the turbidity was nolonger an issue as it immedi-ately was within the allowedlimits.

Wiebe commented, “Thisis a timely event that demon-strates the new water plant’scapabilities.”

There was some discussionconcerning the cause of tur-

bidly. Wiebe advised councilthat the algae in the PauldingReservoir was the main causeas it blooms during the warmweather of late spring andsummer then dies, leavingsmall pieces in the water.

Wiebe told council thatthey started using a substancecalled peroxygen to help con-trol the algae in the reservoir

earlier in the season, and ithas helped, but is not com-

pletely controlling algaegrowth.

Wiebe scheduled a com-mittee of the whole meetingfor July 23 to discuss thesewer separation project.Councilwoman Barb Rife in-quired if the engineers would

be present and Wiebe assuredthey would be in attendance.

It was remarked that thereare some citizen concernsabout repaving the streets thatare being torn up for thesewer system installation. Itwas noted by several councilmembers and the mayor thatthe sewer project only pro-vides for repaving repair of trenched areas, or as stated byCouncil President Roger Sierer, “The only areas thatwill be repaved as part of thesewer project will be theareas cut out to make the in-stallation.”

Councilman Randy Daeger noted that this issue was dis-cussed at a public meeting

prior to starting this projectand it was also noted that

there were no concerned citi-zens at this public meeting.

Council heard the firstreading of Resolution No.1282-13 authorizing a coop-erative fishing agreementwith the State of Ohio.

Council unanimously sus- pended the rules, declared anemergency and unanimouslyapproved:

• Ordinance No. 1460-13authorizing advertising for

bids of the Hotel Barnes property.

• Ordinance No. 1461-13authorizing the advertisementfor bids for sale of personal

property from the Pauldingwater plant.

• Resolution No. 1283-13authorizing the term of 1989EMA agreement and author-izing a new agreement.

Village solicitor MikeJones requested and councilvoted unanimously to go intoexecutive session to discusssome real estate legal mat-ters.

p.m. Monday, Aug. 5.

offered to the students.“This was a popular idea

and, according to the number of books we sold, we are very

pleased.”As of last count, 160 high

school year books as well as160 elementary books have

been sold. Now with the yearbook

project completed, Sorrell isfocusing on spending the bal-ance of her summer workingon developing a blendedlearning class for her AP(Advanced Placement)English/language students.

“We received a grant thatwill enable us to develop on-line content for students to doon their own in order to pre-

pare them for class activities

the following day.”Sorrell is in her fourth year

teaching at Antwerp and prior to her Antwerp position shetaught 10 years in Indiana.She is married to Jonathan,who works in the IT depart-ment at the University of Saint Francis. The Sorrellshave three children, Atticus, arecent Antwerp grad who will

be attending U of SF in thefall, seventh grader Iris, and2-year-old Aleta.

Originally from Haviland,Dan Lehman took to the seaand then the long road beforelanding in Antwerp, where hehas taught since 2001. Ateacher in the social studiesdepartment at Antwerp HighSchool, Dan teaches criminal

justice, AP psychology, histo-ry and government.

This summer, Lehman hasattended seminars and daycourses at Bowling GreenState University. “I do all this

by choice. But I know it willmake me a better teacher.”

Lehman, who lives inAntwerp with his wife Laureland their two children,Alexandra and Danica, is alsotaking a geography class atDefiance. “It’s all part of therecertification that requiresadditional hours of coursework.”

If he has any spare time,Dan usually finds himself modifying lesson plans to

meet the current state man-dates.

“The state is always mak-ing changes to the commoncourse standards and so I findmyself changing lesson plansfor American history and gov-ernment... I also have been re-doing my AdvancedPlacement Psychology course

plans for the upcoming year.”Upon graduating from

Wayne Trace, Lehman attend-ed Defiance College and then

joined the Navy for six years,where he spent the biggest

part of his time on a subma-rine. After teaching a year inthe Baltimore City, Md. dis-trict, Lehman managed toland a position at Antwerp.After his teaching career kicked into gear, he then at-tended Bowling Green for three summers to attain hismasters in administration.

Antwerp is a great school,according to Lehman.

“I love every minute of it.There is a great relationship

between staff and administra-tion. The school does an ex-cellent job getting informa-tion out to the teachers con-cerning professional develop-ment seminars. And whatever I can do to make myself a bet-ter teacher for my students isimportant to me.”n Next week: The summer

The Amish CookBy: Lovina Eicher

fish fry at Timothy’s house.Timothy and Elizabethcooked supper outdoors. Wasvery enjoyable to relax andnot have to cook.

Elizabeth and Loretta wentto clean Timothy’s house onSaturday. I told Elizabeth

bring his laundry here to

wash on Monday.She brought his curtains,

extra bedding, etc to wash aswell. Using our spinner, our laundry and his dried reallyfast on the lines. With Timo-thy working long hours it’shard for him to keep up withthe housework all the time.

Last week we made quite afew batches of strawberryfreezer jam. My rhubarbs arelooking very nice since therains, so I want to make onemore batch of juice.

We are enjoying red pota-toes, peas, green peppers andhot peppers from the garden.

Have small zucchinis almostready to pick. Red beets areready to use, but am leavingthem get bigger to pack pickled

beets. Tomato plants are loadedwith tomatoes and corn is look-ing nice again.

Our sweet onions are gettingvery big and doing extra well.The cooking onions I storeover the winter are doing greatas well. Meal planning is somuch easier with the gardengoodies. Joe planted another

patch of sweet corn yesterdayfor later use.

Son Kevin, 7, does not getalong with our rooster. Heusually gathers the eggs andhas had a few surprises from

behind from that rooster.

It is July 3 and 2013 is half over already. We have beenhaving lots of rain. Last week we had a total of 8 inches.Some report more, some less.

All is still quiet around thehouse this morning, so I de-cided to get up earlier thanthe rest to write this column.

With this being vacationweek for my husband, Joe,and daughter, Elizabeth, wehave been sleeping in longer.

Bedtime is also later withnot having to set an alarm.Such nice family time to-gether and memories made.

Sunday evening we took supper to Jacob and Emma’shouse. We then went to seehow their daughter Elizabethis faring since her surgery onThursday. She is doing aswell as can be expected.

The men and boys playedcroquet while the rest of usvisited. The eight-player cro-

quet set was a Father’s Daygift to Joe and has been

played many times since.Corn de-tasseling should

be starting any day. Daugh-ters Susan and Verena went tohelp rogue the corn on Satur-day. If I understand correctly“to rogue” the corn is to takeout the tall unwanted corn-stalks out of the cornfields.This is done before the cornis de-tasseled.

The fields were over a milelong and each person takes 12rows at a time. After all thisrain it made for some toughwalking. Their shoes werecaked with mud when theycame home.

On Friday we enjoyed a

We also have a hen with a bad attitude. Daughter Susancame out to the barn andheard this hen really squawk-ing. She could not keep fromlaughing when she seenKevin and the hen face toface and the hen’s featherswere all raised. Kevin had an

egg aimed to throw at the henfor his protection.

Kevin keeps us all laughing.He wanted to help me mixLoretta’s birthday cake, butafter cracking the first egg toohard, it fell on the counter-top.He did manage to get the othersin the bowl. We made the cakewhile Loretta was outside sit-ting on the swing. We hid ituntil supper time, so Lorettacould be surprised. God’s

blessings.Try this salad with your

birthday specialDear Editor,

On May 16, Holocaust sur-vivor William Meyer fromGeneva, Ind., spoke at thePaulding County Extension

building. This program was part of the Paulding CountyCarnegie Library’s CentennialCelebration. Over 400 peoplecame to listen to William’smoving story. William turned82 on July 4 and the library

hosted a card shower for him.The library staff sent birthdaycards along with those

brought in by others. I spoketo William recently and hewas overwhelmed by thethoughts and well wishes sentto him. William lost his wifeto cancer last fall and thecards really meant a lot tohim.

William was just releasedfrom the hospital after suffer-ing a stroke. Although hisspeech was not affected, he ishaving a little difficulty get-

ting around. If he is wellenough, he is planning on re-turning to Paulding on Aug.13 to share the second part of his story.

I would like to thank thecitizens of Paulding Countyfor helping make William’sday special. Please continue tokeep him in your thoughts and

prayers for continuedstrength. William is lookingforward to coming back andsharing with all of us again inAugust.

Community lends

a hand for summer reading Dear Editor,

Our “Dig Into Reading”summer reading program atthe Cooper CommunityBranch of the PauldingCounty Carnegie Library isover. It was a fun summer with 55 children enrolled inthe programs. We were so

blessed to have Nila Clemen-son and Karen Jacobs, Master Gardeners, tell us all aboutfairy gardens and each childwas able to create their own

fairy garden to take homewith them.

Mark Holtsberry, fromPaulding Soil and Water Con-servation District, came andtalked to us about soil erosionand had a fantastic experimentto let us participate in. Fol-lowing his presentation, wemade edible dirt using choco-late chips, pudding, crushedOreos, gummy worms, andcoconut to represent the dif-ferent layers of the earth. Thatwas a fun day!

The following week a very

special guest joined us. Kourt-ney Thomas brought her pethedgehog and told us someinteresting facts about hedge-hogs. He was just adorable!Connie Zachrich led us on a

book archeology dig. What afun time! Then our Fairy TaleBook Club presented the“Bremen Town Musicians”

puppet skit. They did an ex-cellent job!

For our final day of thesummer reading program, wehad a “Touch a Truck andSuch” and a grilled sack lunchin the park prepared by Jen-nifer White, Suzanne Cooper and Warren Thomas. REALWaste Disposal LLC, Oak-wood Fire Department, Oak-wood EMS, Auglaize Canoeand Kayak, R&O Service,

Oakwood Village, RonEakins, Anada Cooper andPhil Stucky all participated inthe “Touch a Truck andSuch.”

It just amazes me the won-derful people and businesseswe have in our small villageand within the county who arealways willing to lend a handto our local branch of the pub-lic library. The children in our little village had a fun four weeks and they totally en-

joyed themselves. The mostimportant thing is with every-one’s help we kept the chil-

dren excited about readingand learning new things.What wonderful memoriesthis entire team along with the

parents, caregivers, andgrandparents who faithfully

brought the children to the programs made for these veryspecial young people! As onechild stated, “This was the

best summer!”Sue Thomas

‘Many dogs

were put down’Dear Editor,

On April 24, 2013 I submit-

ted a letter to the editor to thenewspapers reporting no dogswere euthanized at the Pauld-ing County Dog Shelter sinceAugust 2012. I recently foundout the information I wasgiven was not correct, andmany dogs were put down. Itis with a heavy heart I apolo-gize to the citizens of Pauld-ing County for reporting thisinformation. The revealing in-voice to the dog warden’s of-fice is freely available at thecourthouse.

Lynne MansfieldAntwerp

Editor’s note: The following is a response from former dog warden Georgia Dyson re- garding the above letter to theeditor from Lynne Mansfield.

Former dog

warden respondsDear Editor,

The invoice Lynne is refer-ring to only shows the date thedogs were picked up for cre-mation. The amount of dogs

picked up for cremationdoesn’t tell you which dogswere euthanized and whichones were a courtesy crema-

tion. For example, several dogswere picked up as a courtesy

because they passed away dur-ing a tragic house fire inAntwerp. You will have to goto the shelter and request acopy of the euthanasias. Thedrugs used for euthanasia must

be accounted for, records must be kept showing what it wasused for (dog, cat, etc.) andhow much was used and whenit was used. This information iskept at the shelter.

Sheriff ’s Report

Spend your moneyin Paulding County

Every single one of us like to get a bargain and some peoplewill drive miles to save a few cents. Recently, I have noticed thatgas prices vary, sometimes being cheaper in a bigger city. How-ever, do you want to drive 30 miles to save 2 cents on a gallon of gas?

Price is a major factor inwhere and when people shop.

In economically hard times,we all gravitate to the best

bargains, even if it meansgoing out of the county or outof the state to buy something.

Years ago our downtownstreets were part of a

bustling, thriving community. It was more difficult to travel out of town, so merchandise and supplies were purchased locally. There-fore, the small grocery stores, dress stores, hardware stores, hatshops and many more businesses were flourishing in those earlier days.

It has been sad to see so many of the local businesses fall by thewayside as huge department stores come in, offering big dis-counts, advertising more, providing more of a variety and attract-ing younger buyers. Studies have proven that when a big storecomes into a city nearby that approximately 84 percent of their sales are shifted from small businesses.

It’s time to consider the real costs to a community that loses itslocal business base. Independent local businesses employ a widearray of supporting services. They hire architects, designers, cabi-net shops, sign makers and contractors for construction.

Opportunities grow for local accountants, insurance brokers,computer consultants, attorneys, advertising agencies and othersto help run it. Local retailers and distributors also carry a higher

percentage of locally made goods than the chains, creating more jobs for local producers.

Are you looking for a big ticket item such as a new car or bigscreen TV? Why not look at a local Paulding County businessand support the economics right here at home? Every dollar spentlocally goes to support vital public services to our town and vil-lages.

Our community is unique and any one-of-a-kind business is anintegral part of our town. Local ownership ensures that importantdecisions are made locally by the people who live in the commu-nity and who will feel the impacts of major decisions.

Another benefit is that when you shop locally, you can get toknow your local merchants. They will know you as well and cater to your preferences. I love going into a store and a clerk know me

by my first name. It makes me feel special and I know that themerchant is taking care of me.

Another thing, local merchants care about and invest in our community. They not only donate part of our dollars back to localgroups and charities, the local purchases support local jobs. Whenyou shop at one local merchant, you’re supporting a whole host of other businesses such as banks, restaurants and other businessesclustered around our local shops.

Local shops are more accessible for everyone. This is espe-cially important for elderly, vulnerable and young people andthose without transportation.

Our purchases help the town attract new entrepreneurs andskilled workers. Towns that preserve their one-of-a-kind busi-nesses and distinctive character are more successful in recruitingother businesses and residents.

County leaders, village leaders, village residents and countyresidents – take the time and effort to shop and buy locally. Payattention to this county’s car dealerships, hardware stores, jewelrystores, furniture stores, groceries and restaurants. Why would youwant to spend your money anywhere else?

Achieving our prioritiesdepends on strong job creation

During the course of my 16 years as PauldingCounty Commissioner, I had the opportunity towork on several budgets. No matter the level of government, the budget is important for the obvi-ous reason that it sets the priori-ties for the coming couple of years.

Understanding that the stateoperating budget is a bigger ani-mal to address than countybudgets, I was just as eager tolearn from my colleagues as Iwas ready to share my thoughtsand opinions.

I believe the finished productis something that will continueour state on the upward trajec-tory that it has been on over thecourse of the past two years.Since the time the previousbudget was signed into law in2011, Ohioans have created more than 170,000private sector jobs and wages in Ohio are growingfaster than the national average. That budgetclosed an $8 billion budget shortfall without rais-ing taxes, and in fact even eliminated the estate(or “death”) tax.

This budget also featured considerable reduc-tions in the income tax for both small businessesand individuals. Ohio residents will see a $2.7 bil-lion net tax reduction over the next three years.Keeping more money in the productive sector of the economy is good for Ohio businesses and con-sumers.

A lot has been said about the slight increase instate sales tax, which equals only an additional$2.50 on every $1,000 of spending. I have long

been a proponent of moving towards a tax system

based on consumption and away from income be-cause it gives people more authority over howmuch tax they pay. Whereas the income tax is as-sessed relative to the amount of work a person

does, sales tax is only assessedon how much they spend.

Thanks to more jobs beingcreated and, thus, more people

paying taxes, the budget also provides additional funding for education. Every school districtin Ohio will receive at least asmuch as they did last year, and80 percent of students attendschools that receive more fund-ing.

Additionally, students receiv-ing career-technical educationwill receive greater support. Ed-ucational programs that trainhigh school students for future

career opportunities experience a boost in funding.There are jobs available in the technical and man-ufacturing industries, and therefore it is criticalthat we as a state support workforce developmentefforts that will help to ensure that those jobs arefilled by Ohioans, particularly young people.

This year’s budget process is another clear ex-ample that everything we want to accomplish asa state is possible only when people are workingand the economy is improving. Ohio is headed inthe right direction, and this budget puts in placemore policies and priorities that will continue itsclimb.

by the Antwerp/Payne/PauldingCounty Community Improve-ment Corporation (CIC) and thePaulding (CIC).

Formerly, the management of the office had been the respon-

sibility of the county commis-sioners.

Many of the board membersrepresent positions that are pre-determined by the PCED by-laws. Some representatives are“at-large” members. A balanceof geography, vocational talents,and organizational backgroundis considered when the PCED

band’s death, she decided tocome home to Paulding Countyand lives in Oakwood. She hasthree children, a daughter-in-law, a son-in-law and fivegrandchildren. Linda says, “Ihad a wonderful childhood andnow want to come back home

to help in community develop-ment.”

2013 graduate, is the son of Gregand Brenda Troyer of Oakwood.




A Penny ForYour Thoughts....

By: Nancy W hitaker

WHICH MOUSE ARE YOU?I love to think back to a

time when life was slower

paced, families ate dinner to-gether, kids played outside tillthe street lights came on andthe biggest event around wasthe county fair.

Then I wonder, “Do I reallywant to go back to those daysof no computers, no cell

phones, no McDonald’s or notelevision? Is life worse nowthan what it ever was? Or dowe just have easier access toinformation?”

In this modern world, wecan see plane crashes as theyoccur and go directly toscenes of people gettingrobbed, murdered and raped.

We can see and hear the gov-ernment leaders warring over

politics and can see a war asit breaks out.

Years ago, I recall havingan old radio that we would sitaround and listen to churchmusic or perhaps “The GrandOld Opry.” If we did hear anynews, it was generally gotten

by Grandma listening in onour party line to other neigh-

bors talking.Sometimes, I wonder if we

are better off not hearing allthe bad news and just focus-ING on simpler things.

Today’s family life can be

stressful and we get way too

busy to get that special “fam-ily time.” Everyone is comingand going different places.

So which lifestyle is best?The slow paced life or life inthe busy, fast lane?

A story comes to mindabout two mice. A countrymouse invited his cousin wholived in the city to come visithim. The city mouse was sodisappointed with the sparsemeal which was nothingmore than a few kernels of corn and a couple of dried

berries.“My poor cousin,” said the

city mouse, “you hardly haveanything to eat! I do believethat an ant could eat better!Please do come to the city and

visit me, and I will show yousuch rich feasts, readily avail-able for the taking.”

So the country mouse leftwith his city cousin who

brought him to a splendid feastin the city’s alley. The countrymouse could not believe hiseyes. He had never seen somuch food in one place. Therewas bread, cheese, fruit, cere-als, and grains of all sorts scat-tered about in a warm cozy

portion of the alley.The two mice settled down

to eat their wonderful dinner, but before they barely took their first bites, a cat ap-

proached their dining area.

The two mice scamperedaway and hid in a small un-comfortable hole until the cat

left.Finally, it was quiet, and

the unwelcome visitor wentto prowl somewhere else. Thetwo mice ventured out of thehole and resumed their abun-dant feast. Before they couldget a proper taste in their mouth, another visitor in-truded on their dinner, and thetwo little mice had to scuttleaway quickly.

“Goodbye,” said the coun-try mouse, “You do, indeed,live in a plentiful city, but Iam going home where I canenjoy my dinner in peace.”

This story shows the lifestyle

of two different mice and their preferences. One mouse didnot mind the interruptionswhen he was eating, his boun-tiful meal, but the other mouse

preferred what little he did eatto eat it in peace and quiet.

I love computers, cell phones and McDonald’s. The busy lifestyles have replacedan era of simpler times.

Do you remember whentimes were quieter and dayswas more relaxed? Do youthink that the informationhighway we are on is good?Let me know and I’ll giveyou a Penny for Your

Thoughts.

Building for the future of our youthBy Lisa McClure

Paulding County Area FoundationAnother successful fair is in the books. And

what a fair it was. I want to thank the fair board for a job well done. Their work is never ending, as preparation is year round.

Another group to recognize, for their efforts at the fair, is Friends of the Fair-Livestock Building Committee. Thiscommittee was instrumentalin the initial planning of thenew building project, aswell as, seeing the projectthrough completion. The

project was introduced during fair week.The building project consists of removing

the existing hog, goat and poultry barn at thewest end of the fairground. Three new live-stock barns will be constructed in the samearea. The projected cost is estimated at$250,000. The projected completion date isfair of 2015.

While $250,000 is a substantial sum, todate, the fund balance is $73,000. An anony-mous donor has offered to match up to

$100,000 of the fund, after the fund hasreached $100,000. Along with the anonymousdonor, a group of individuals pledged over $15,000 the day of the livestock sale. Numer-ous 4-H and FFA livestock exhibitors donated

a portion of their project to the fund, aswell.

The building committee is in the process of gathering contact in-

formation and will be making personal contacts with po-tential donors to discuss the

project.The Paulding County AreaFoundation is pleased to administer the fundsfor the Livestock Building Fund.

4-H camp was‘Out of This World’

A total of 155 4-H campers, Cloverbuds and counselors from Paulding County attended the annual 4-H Camp Palmer in July.

The Paulding Progress traveled to 4-H Camp Palmer with the senior counselors. Zach Proctor, Maggie Wilhelm, Jared Eklund,Emma Schmidt and Jake Roop had a great time.

The 2013 Paulding County4-H Camp, “Out of ThisWorld” has successfullycome to a close. A record-

breaking 105 campers and 24Cloverbuds, led by 26 coun-selors, got to experiencemany great events that will bein their memories for a long

time.From high-ropes to creek

seining, from line dancing tooutdoor cooking, from thearchery range to the flyingsquirrel, the campers livedthe magic of 4-H CampPalmer.

The Cloverbuds’ day wasfilled with great excitementas well. They got to makecrafts, learn dances, and par-ticipate in the camp-widewater carnival.

Meeting new people and

gaining new friends was the best thing that occurred allweek long. By the end of camp, it became quite clear how amazing these friend-ships were. These bonds of friendship, forged throughteambuilding, skits, andgroup-living, have been made

strong.Many campers were sad to

leave camp, and their coun-selors were not ready to letthem go. The only good partof leaving camp is knowingthat everyone can come back next year.

The dates of 2014 4-HCamp are set – July 9-13.There is less than a year untileverybody can meet again – dream of camp and keep intouch with all of the greatfriends until then.

Mercy Defiance Clinic switching to electronic medical recordsPhysicians and staff at Mercy Defiance Clinic and Mercy

Napoleon Clinic are scheduled to make a major advance in pa-tient-centered healthcare when they implement CarePATH, anelectronic medical record system, on July 21.

“Healthcare is moving to a more team-centered approach to pa-tient care in which timely sharing of information is essential. Theelectronic medical record will allow healthcare team members,including the patient, easy access to the most up-to-date informa-tion on the patient’s condition and treatment,” said Chad L. Peter,

president and CEO of the Mercy Western Region, a part of Catholic Health Partners (CHP).

In addition, patients will have their own secure electronic accessto portions of their medical record online via MyChart. Those whosign up for MyChart will be able to use it to request an appoint-ment or a prescription refill, view test results, and send messages

to their providers’ offices.Sign-up information for MyChart will be available to patientsat Mercy Defiance Clinic starting on July 21.

Additional changes will be associated with the transition toCarePATH. Patients will schedule appointments with all MercyDefiance Clinic and Mercy Napoleon Clinic providers through anew, centralized pre-service center that can be reached by callingthe main clinic numbers, 419-784-1414 and 800-925-4642. Pa-tients will then receive a reminder telephone call about their ap-

pointments via a new, automated system.

The Paulding County Bookmobile paid a special visit to Grover Hill Elementary before summer break. The theme for the eventwas “It’s summertime - Read One More Line.” The students each took a tour of the bookmobile where the ladies on boardexplained the process of choosing books and how the bookmobile actually serves its customers. After the tour the students vis-

ited the courtyard for a frozen treat and they could choose a free book. Shown is teacher Mike Bok and some fifth grade stu-dents after their tour. The students at Grover Hill work on AR points during the year and this was an event to encourage themto read even more over the summer.

Oakwood second graders are shown performing for community members of Oakwood for theNational Day of Prayer on Thursday, May 2. The students performed a patriotic song in sign lan-guage and sang “America.”

All proceeds were given to to thefamily of our KB student, Chase, who was diagnosed with Neurofibromatosis Type 2. He recentlyunderwent surgery and is recovering. The money will help the family with medical and travelexpenses. Grover Hill Elementary also had a “Hats for Chase” day to help with the collection. Thetotal for both elementary buildings was over $700. Payne Elementary KB class wore orange thatday in honor of Chase because that is his favorite color.

The Physics students at Wayne Trace wrapped up the year with a catapult and trebuchet projectto apply their classroom experiences to a simple engineering concept. They were directed to buildeither a catapult or trebuchet that could successfully launch a softball as far as possible. They weregiven limitations on the allowable size and weight for the apparatus which made the project a littlemore challenging. The teams of students were allowed only five trials and were able to make adjust-ments to the device between launches if they chose to do so.
