PPROGRESSROGRESS

By DENISE GEBERSProgress Staff Writer

PAULDING Following a40-minute executive sessionMonday morning, the Pau-lding County commissionersunanimously voted to rehireGeorgia Dyson as dog warden.

The three-man board passeda resolution to appoint Dysonas dog warden, under the au-thority of the sheriffs office,effective July 1. This movewas made due to a recent up-date from the Ohio EthicsCommission.

In May, the commissionershad voted to transition the dogwarden office to the sheriffsoffice and said Dysons lastday on the job would be June30. It was initially thought shewas ineligible for the new job

because her spouse is alreadyemployed at the sheriffs of-fice.

Her starting pay will be$14.94 an hour as a reflectionof her current salary. In fourmonths, around Nov. 1, shewill be subject to an evalua-tion.

At that time it will be deter-mined what her compensationshould be according tochanges in her responsibilitiesdue to also serving as a sher-iffs deputy while filling therole as dog warden.

When the vote was com-plete, Commissioner TonyZartman told Dyson, We re-ally hope this works for you.

Sheriff Jason Landers said

that since Dyson is already areserve officer with his depart-ment, she will not be subject tofurther training. She will, how-ever, be accountable to depart-ment policies and procedures.

There will be a learningcurve, I expect, said Sheriff

Landers, saying she will be ex-pected to learn the operationsof the sheriffs office and dorequired paperwork.

Landers said her numberone responsibility will be thatof dog warden with those of adeputy sheriff around that.The dog warden will wear adeputys uniform, drive a vehi-cle with a sheriffs office em-

blem, and keep regular hours.She will be a commission-

ers employee managed by thesheriffs office, he said.

At the same time, there havebeen no new developments re-garding proposed changes to

the county emergency man-agement agency (EMA). Thecommissioners are in the

process of getting approvalfrom a majority of the countystownships and villages to dis-

band the current EMA board.On Monday, EMA director

Randy Shaffer said the com-missioners have not formallymade that offer for him tostay in his present position.But I understand it may behappening, Shaffer added. Itstill depends if on the villagesand townships formally agree

PAULDING Awesome news of anextremely generous donation is gener-ating excitement for members of the

Friends of the Fair and those who havean interest in the Paulding County Fair.

Last Thursday word was received ofa $100,000 matching donation to gotoward building three new livestock

barns on the Paulding County fair-grounds. This came just as members ofthe Friends of the Fair were about toannounce a $250,000 project to demol-ish the three old barns north of theshow arena and rebuild.

This shows the generosity of ourcounty, said Lisa McClure, executivedirector of the Paulding County AreaFoundation, which will administer theFriends of the Fairs Building for theFuture Fund.

Mike Kauser, president of the

Friends of the Fairs project commit-tee, concurred. What better way tostart a project? he wondered.

It was noted that no time limit wasset for the match.

Plans are in the works to constructtwo 60x90 and one 40x100 pole

barns. The smaller pair would housethe sheep and goats in one and poultryin the other. Swine projects would goin the longer barn.

The new layouts will open up 1,400additional square feet for use.

These will replace the older woodenbarns, constructed around 1872 whichare all located north of the show arena.

The fair board and contributors havebeen putting money into these build-ings through the years to keep them us-able, but donors were tiring of sinkingmoney into old buildings.

Lonnie Miller, longtime fair boardmember, said when they last asked fordonations for upkeep and improve-ments to the building certain folks saidthey wouldnt contribute to old build-

This is just totally awesome. So many peo-ple worked so hard to make this happen, com-mented Karen Saxton, who heads up the event.We were talking as we were walking on thevictory lap a little while ago. We are just one

big Paulding County family working togetherfor a good cause.

One major unexpected hitch was a severestorm that hit the fairgrounds about 11 p.m.Friday, accompanied by a tornado watch.Those present, with the help of the EMA andfairground maintenance worker, Larry Colley,were ushered into the facilitys storm shelterfor almost an hour.

observed Tommy Wanne-macher. My grandmother,Betty Roth of Belleview, wasan honorary chairman. Mywifes grandmother foughtcancer. It means the worldwhen you see survivors outhere.

The luminary service real-ly gets to me, especially whenyou realize all of the lives of

people represented by eachcandle, added Wannemacher.

Everyone was such a helpin this, said Saxton.

Due to threatening weatherconditions, organizers decidedat midnight to suspend Relayactivities until 6 a.m.

One individual who was es-pecially moved by the eventwas Susie Sanderson, first-year team captain representingCountry Inn of Latty.

Since I work in a healthcare facility, I have seen howcancer affects lives and resi-dents and families, saidSanderson. We are so happyto support this cause.

Its touching to see howeveryone works together. Wewant to continue doing thisevery year, added Sanderson,who noted that there were 18team members on the facilitysfirst effort.

One added dimension tothis years event was the cele-

bration of 20 years of involve-ment in Paulding County. ForJillene McMichael, who has

been actively involved withmuch of the Relays energy inrecent years, it was even moreexciting because the AmericanCancer Society is celebratingits 100th year of involvement.

Paulding County and theACS get to celebrate mile-stones together. That is anawesome thing. To look at thefaces of the people in thiscounty, how much they loveand help each other, that is re-ally special, observed

have expressed pleasure at thenews that Dyson will retainher job, an update postedMonday on the Recall thePaulding Ohio Commis-sioners Facebook page indi-cates that the group isnt plan-ning to back down.

That just goes to show thatif we speak up loud enough,they cant ignore us. Werestill going to be trying to re-move them from office. Weshouldnt have to go to theseextremes to get the commis-

sioners to take our opinionsinto account, the post stated.For an interview with

to disband the board.Zartman on Tuesday said

that Shaffer has not met withall three commissioners, buthas met with CommissionerRoy Klopfenstein. Zartman

believes they seem to be inagreement that Shaffer willstay on.

The commissioners are stillgoing around to townships andvillages for signatures on theagreement to dissolve theEMA board; however, they arewaiting for an official resolu-

tion before proceeding. Theyare confident they will get thesignatures needed.

Although many residents

is still old and no more usableor efficient. Its an old buildingwith a lot of money in it, hesaid.

The project began slowly,but has gained momentumrapidly. Kauser and othermembers of the Paulding FFAAlumni approached the fair

board in February to discussimprovements to the current

barns.As it became apparent that a

larger scale project of replac-ing the buildings was possible,fundraising ideas and volun-teers were gathered. In March,Friends of the Fair was estab-lished.

It rolled from there ratherfast, said Kauser. It becameour goal to get plans in place

by fair.Paulding FFA Alumni has

provided seed money to get

the project going. They havepaid for architectural render-ings and printing of education-al materials. Their entire

pledge amount will be an-nounced during the livestocksale at the fair.

Spencer Beckman, aPaulding FFA alumnus andformer livestock showman,has been drawn into the proj-ect. His special skills as aCAD designer with B.A.Beilharz, an architect out ofDefiance, and knowledge ofstate codes have assisted the

project tremendously.Monetary goal for the proj-

ect is $250,000. Kauser ap-proached McClure about start-ing a fund within the PauldingCounty Area Foundation to

administer the funds.This will be an amazing

addition to the fairgrounds,said McClure. We are excitedto be a part of this project.

Trustees of the Foundationwill have the final decision onthe distribution of resources inthe fund.

In addition to the barn struc-tures, the money will pay forsite preparation and drainage,cement for the hog barns in-cluding four feet high walls toeliminate rotting posts andelectrical requirements.

All updated electrical com-ponents just purchased for thepoultry barn with funds raisedover the winter will be reused,as will existing pens.

We are being very prudentwith pieces and materials thatcan be reused, said McClure.

Originally, plans were for

demolition after fall fest in2014 with construction to becomplete by the 2015 fair. Butnews of the matching granthas committee members opti-mistic.

If this (donations totaling$200,000) happens in threemonths, we could start thisfall, said Roy Klopfenstein,Friends of the Fair member, 4-H parent and county commis-sioner.

Realistically, once the fundsare collected, the committeewill need to draw up bid pack-ages, let the bids and get ontothe contractor(s) schedule(s).

The Friends of the Fair proj-ect committee sees this projectas a positive for the county asa whole, effecting 4-Hers, FFA

members, community groupswho use the fairgrounds suchas Relay For Life and FlatRock Creek Fall Festival.

Fair board president TimShafer said, This will reallyimprove the grounds for all

parties, including fall fest,camper storage, and the fair.

All parties concernedagreed that the new buildingswill be usable for a wide vari-ety of purposes, not just live-stock.

Displays are being preparedfor educational purposes foruse at the fair. The public will

be able to view these in thesmall pavilion west of theMidway Caf near the secre-tarys office and in theFoundations tent located nearthe livestock barns at the westend of the Midway.

Kauser will also address the

buyers and crowds during theannual junior fair livestocksale at the fair on Saturday,June 15.

Tony and Nancy Burkley have been selected as grand marshal for thisyears John Paulding Days parade. Tony is serving his first term as a state

representative. Here, the Burkleys are seen at the recent Relay For Life eventin honor of their daughter, Audrey, who passed with cancer this pastChristmas.

Burkleys to lead John Paulding Days paradeBy JIM LANGHAM

Feature WriterPAULDING When I think that

this honor of being grand marshal forJohn Paulding Days this year has

been given to us, I feel very unwor-thy, said Nancy Burkley recently.

For the last three years ourfriends, family and co-workers inthis community, as well our churchfamily, have given more to our fami-

ly than we could ever repay.This time is very hard for us, be-

cause last year at this time we stillhad our daughter, Audrey. We werestill praying for a miracle. She

passed away of breast cancer at theyoung age of 35 just beforeChristmas, Burkley said.

Burkley said that outpouring oflove and support by the local com-munity in ways they could not haveimagined has made it possible fortheir family to endure the difficulttime of illness and loss.

In addition to bringing meals,taking Audrey to treatments and

praying for us, we had friends andfamily who were with us in the last

days, sometimes doing duties onewould think only a mother would beable to do. Audrey was fortunate tohave a loving husband, Chad, andtwo beautiful children, Dane andMallory, to make her last days happyones, added Burkley.

Tony Burkley said that he realizesthat the honor of being grand mar-shal is a premier tribute any smallcommunity can share with one of itsown. He is especially moved whenhe thinks of grand marshals of the

past and what giants of the commu-nity he considered them to be.

Burkley chuckled when he saidthat traditionally, many of those whoare given the honor of being grandmarshal are honored late in theirlives. But he mentioned that he wastalking with last years honored cou-

ple, Dr. John and Karen Saxton ofOakwood.

John and I were laughing that we

are glad they are giving that opportu-nity to younger residents these days,quipped Burkley.

Burkley still recalls the night thathe and Nancy met for the first time.She had just graduated from theeighth grade in the Catholic schooland there was a party celebrating thegraduation.

The boys were on one side andthe girls on the other. I stepped outand asked that cute girl on the otherside to dance with me, Burkley said.As it turned out, that was the begin-ning of our relationship. We went to-gether all through high school andwere eventually married in theCatholic Church in Payne on on

April 19, 1974.For much of his early married life,

Burkley worked in the NAPA storethat had originally been started inPayne by his father, Marion Burkley.Then, in 1996, he entered a differenttime of life when he was elected as aPaulding County commissioner. Forthe next 16 years, he had the unique

privilege of serving out four terms,longer than any other commissionerin the history of Paulding County.

He also became a successful small

business owner. His NAPA/TrueValue, which providing hardwareand automative parts service, recent-ly celebrated a major expansion.

Nancy was serving as elementarysecretary and then special educationsecretary in the Paulding ExemptedVillage Schools. In addition to beingan active mother, Nancy also servedas the Republican Womens secre-tary for six years and has been active

in her commitment to her localchurch.In the meantime, Tony developed

a growing fervor to enter the politicalpublic life arena. Last November, hewas elected as a state representativefor the 82nd District, which includesthe counties of Defiance, Paulding,Van Wert and the northern portion ofAuglaize.

Sometimes its easy to sit aroundand complain about how the govern-ment is run, said Burkley.Sometimes there is a legitimateconcern for that. I have always beenone who has a mindset to attempt tosolve problems. When I look atthings, I look for solutions.

I do a lot of listening and try notto jump into things, continuedBurkley. My mindset is not how I

benefit politically, but how to helpthe people I come into contact with.If you have a mindset for their hurt-ing, you understand that there are

probably reasons why they are in thesituation that they are in.

Nancy said that living in a smallcommunity, blessed by the love andcare of its residents, gives those with-in its limits a sense of appreciation

for all that God gives His children.Before Audrey entered inpatient

hospice, she asked me to bring her apeanut butter sandwich, observedBurkley. Feeling that I should havemade something better for her, Iturned around to ask her if therewas anything else that I could makefor her.

Her now-bald head was bowedand her hands were folded in prayer,thanking God for that silly sand-wich, Nancy added. I think it wasGods way of making me feel asthough we must have done some-thing right as parents. I think of thatday when I need to be reminded to begrateful for everything He gives us.

The Amish CookBy: Lovina Eicher

Daughters Elizabeth andSusan will start following in-structions in preparation for

baptism when church serv-ices are here on June 2. Sucha joy it brings to us as parentsto see our children want to ac-cept Jesus Christ as their Sav-

ior.When a girl follows in-

structions, the custom is towear a black dress and awhite cape and apron eachchurch Sunday. Both girlsdresses are cut out, but notsewn yet. My goal is to workon that today. I enjoy sewingmore than cleaning, so my

birthday dream to myself is tosew instead of clean today.

42 years ago, on May 22, Iwas born to very loving par-ents, Ben and ElizabethCoblentz. How I appreciateall they taught me.

My 29th birthday was theday before Dads funeral. Iwas 31 years old whenmother died and so Josephwas only 8 weeks old at thattime. God had other plans.We will cherish the memoriesof them always.

Jacob, Emma and familyare planning to come tonightfor supper in honor of my

birthday. Also daughter Eliz-

We are having a light rainthis morning which we are sothankful for. Yesterday wealso had some rain and it surehas made my garden perk up.I think we will be havingradishes to use soon.

Daughter Lovina and her

friends were here for thenight on Monday. They hadlots of fun. Lovina wantedcupcakes instead of cake. We

put nine candles on the cup-cakes for her to blow out.

We had a thunderstorm inthe early morning hourswhich woke up all the littlegirls for awhile.

Our hearts go out to all thepeople that lost loved ones ortheir homes in the recent tor-nadoes. I cannot imagine howscary it must be to be in the

path of a tornado. May Godbe their guide throughout this

trial.Sister Emma and herdaughter, Elizabeth, assistedus with our work yesterday. Idont know what we woulddo without their help. Neigh-

bor Susan and a few otherladies from church offered tohelp prepare for church serv-ices. It seems I am more be-hind this time in gettingready.

My husband Joe gave me alarge laundry spinner for my

birthday. I was very happy forit and used it Monday for thefirst time. The clothes dried a

lot faster than usual. It will beespecially nice in the wintermonths when we dry ourclothes in the basement. Untilnext week.

SFSP to offer Paulding kids

free, nutritious lunches

The Summer Food Service Program is set to begin June 10 atLaFountain Park, 700 Lincoln Ave. Free, nutritious lunches willbe served to children ages 1-18, and to 21 with IEP, from 11:30a.m.-12:15 p.m. Monday-Friday, June 10-Aug. 9, except July 4.Activities will be from 12-12:45 p.m. Here, Julio Garcia, of Pauld-ing, enjoys a nutritious meal while attending the Summer FoodService Program at the Kiwanis Community Center last year.

PAULDING LaFountainPark will be the place to bearound lunchtime this sum-mer. Northwestern OhioCommunity Action Commis-sion (NOCAC) will againsponsor the Summer FoodService Program in Paulding,

but the location has changedfrom last year.

This year all children ages1-18, or to 21 with an IEP,can enjoy a free, nutritiousmeal, prepared by PauldingCounty Senior Center, onMonday-Friday, June 10-Aug. 9, except July 4.

Lunch will be served from11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m., atLaFountain Park, 700 Lin-coln Ave., with activitiesfrom 12-12:45 p.m.

Gerilyn Larson, of Pauld-ing, is site supervisor, andwill be present at all SFSP ac-tivities.

Mayor Greg White agreedto allow use of LaFountainPark as a site for the SummerFood Service Program thisyear. This site is a greatchoice because it is next to

the swimming pool, making iteasily accessible to childrenwhose parents allow them toswim after attending SFSP.

Last year, the SummerFood Service Program washeld at Kiwanis CommunityCenter, which will serve asthe backup site in case of badstorms with lightning or ex-tremely hot temperatures thissummer.

Based on the latest MR81report provided by Ohio De-

partment of Education, 777out of 1,262, or 61.57 percentof students attending Pauld-

ing Exempted VillageSchools, qualify for free/re-duced lunches. With schoolout for the summer, many ofthese children may not re-ceive a nourishing and well

balanced meal for a variety ofreasons.

To help fill this gap, theUSDA funds the SummerFood Service Program, whichis administered by the OhioDepartment of Education. Inaddition to the Paulding site,

NOCAC sponsors sites inDefiance, Fulton, Henry andWilliams counties.

NOCAC, Paulding CountySenior Center and other com-munity groups and members,served 117 unduplicated chil-

dren and 628 healthy luncheslast summer at the local Ki-wanis center. This year will

be the programs second yearin Paulding and NOCAC isworking to spread the word toeven more families to bringtheir children for a free mealand fun.

The SFSP still needs volun-teers to help during mealtimeserving the food, or to pro-vide activities. To date, thefollowing local organizations,churches, schools and busi-nesses are providing volun-teers.

Volunteering to help withfood service are: NationalHonor Society, First ChristianChurch, Job and Family Serv-ices-Childrens Services,

Huntington Bank, Free Chris-tian Church of God, NazareneChurch and Paulding SeniorCenter.

Volunteers providing activ-ities include Paulding Ex-empted Village Schoolvolleyball and football teams;Girl Scouts of Western Ohio,Paulding County CarnegieLibrary, Anns Bright Begin-nings Preschool, Free Chris-tian Church of God, Job andFamily Services-ChildrensServices, and PauldingCounty Senior Center.

Community organizations,

businesses and individuals in-terested in volunteering, aswell as parents or anyone elseinterested in learning more

about the program can callWendy Bryant Scheurich,SFSP coordinator, at

NOCACs Defiance office at419-784-5136, ext. 1120, orsend an e-mail towscheurich@nocac.org.

Meals will be provided inaccordance with federal lawand U.S. Department of Agri-culture policy. In accordancewith federal law and USDA

policy, this institution is pro-hibited from discriminatingon the basis of race, color, na-tional origin, sex, age or dis-ability.

Terry Wehrkamp was the speaker at the Paulding KiwanisClub. Wehrkamp, who works for Cooper Farms headquarteredin Oakwood, says they have facilities in several counties around

the area. What started out as a turkey hatchery a few years agois now a very large operation. Recent expansions include breed-ing pigs to raising chickens. They process their own feeds andcurrently have 1,600 employees. The turkey processing plant atVan Wert sends products all over the country which are pack-aged under the name of the customer, such as Kroger andCostco. Michelle Stahl was program chairman.

Holocaustspeaker to returnDear Editor,

Thank you to Jim Lang-ham for his emotional col-umn in the May 29 edition,about the Holocaust sur-vivor, William Meyer. Over400 attended this special li-

brary centennial celebrationevent and if feedback is anyindication, his wordschanged lives.

Some of his more memo-rable quotes were, For Ihave endured their hunger.

Listened to the cries ofmothers; listened to thescreams of families sepa-rated; listened to the un-speakable horror, torture,

slave labor and hangings.Listened to the prayers of oldmen and to prayers that werenot answered.

I surely do not want

vengeance, but moral educa-tion. I want the world to knowthat there was an attempt toeradicate an entire race andthose who helped them.

Two things Corrie TenBoom (Williams neighbor)told me: Annawilliam, do notgive up hope. Goodness al-ways overcomes evil. The sunalways shines after a storm.Hope and love will prevail.

For two hours this 81-year-old, energized by what hecalled, the most attentive au-dience ever, spoke about theatrocities he and others en-dured. But, there is more totell.

I am privileged to announcethat we are able to bringWilliam Meyer back to Pauld-ing on Aug. 14 for an eveningof reflection about his lifesince fleeing his homeland.

He has shared some of hisstories with me and they areincredible. William Meyerrepresents a dark period ofhistory of our world thatshould never be forgotten.

Again, thank you to Mr.Langham for putting Meyersstory so eloquently to pen andto thePaulding Coun-

tyProgress for providing thespace.

Right person

for dog wardenDear Editor,

Maybe it is time to rename

the position of dog warden toa position entitled, AnimalRescue and Welfare Author-ity.

We have the right personhere in Paulding County.

How about Georgia Dyson?Yes, let the lawbreakers be

dealt with by the sheriffs de-partment. This will includebut not be limited to:

1. Mistreatment of any ani-mal.

2. Lawbreaking such as re-sisting relinquishment of ananimal for any reason in the

best interest of safety for any-one as well as for the welfare

of the animal.3. Neglect, any kind of tor-ment or physical abuse to anyanimal.

4. Lack of food or water,malnutrition, bad cases ofworms or fleas from beingkept in a dark, unheated (in thecold weather) basement orother inappropriate place.

5. Disturbing the peace withloud barking and the necessaryinvestigation for the reason forthe loud barking such a beingout in the cold or rain, tooshort a leash, no water, no out-side retreat, a large dog threat-ening/injuring a smaller or

any dog or cat or whatever....6. Dogfighting or any suchabusive training or instigationof fighting.

7. Dogs chronically runningloose which is different from

an occasional jail break by areally happy pup.

Do the people of Pauldingand the law authorities agreethat perhaps it is time to rede-fine the job?

It is becoming evident thatthe people on both sides of thisconcern have very valid points.

Georgia Dyson should defi-nitely not have to be dealingwith the kind of problems thatare a threat to her safety. Weare not talking about how tocapture a frightened animal.She is highly qualified to dothat whereas probably a policeofficer would not be the right

person to deal with such cir-cumstances.

And while were at it, whyis not a cell phone paid for inthis job? There is no excuse fordisregarding the needs of any-thing practical such as this, intodays world.

Now that some of the con-cern have been aired about thedog wardens treating of cer-tain situations, there needs to

be supportive back-up law en-forcement in these cases wherethe people are being difficultand not letting her do her job.Why criticize her, when proba-

bly it was the negligent or of-fending dog owner who was to

blame?Folks, please, publicly ex-

press your concern about thisissue before we lose this treas-ure of a person. Lets getPaulding County into the year2013 and the years leading upto this, leave them behind.

In TheGarden

ByKylee Baumle

Choosing plants for your gardenMy mom and I had a day of

what we call nursery hoppinglast week. It was really myfirst time out shopping for

plants, although that wasntthe impetus for the trip toToledo and back.

I wanted a bent willowchair and one of my Face-book readers told me a certaingarden center there had a lotof them. They did and I pur-chased one.

Well, you cant go to a gar-den center and not look at theplants. And few die-hard gar-deners have enough willpower to walk out of such aplace without at least one orten of them. I may or may nothave been on the high end ofthe plant count.

I knew that there were acouple of other nearby gardencenters, so hey, while werein the area, we might as wellvisit those too, right?Each place carried a little dif-ferent assortment of plants soI took advantage of the sparespace in the minivan to takesome new things home to OurLittle Acre.

This is generally my modusoperandi when shopping forplants for the garden. Seldomdo I have a specific plant inmind when I begin, althoughI do have a running list ofthings that I keep my eyes

open for each season.If I find them, great. If not,there are plenty of other won-derful things that grab my at-tention and manage to jumpinto the shopping cart.When you are plant shopping,there are some things you

should keep in mind: Choose healthy plants.

Inspect the stems and foliagefor problems. If you see ex-cessive yellowing, spots onthe foliage, dead areas, orsigns of insects, pass it up for

a plant that doesnt have thesethings. Beware of wiltedplants. Some will bounceback i f they get too dry andwilted. Many wont.

Consider the stage of theblooms. While its temptingto pick the plants that look theprettiest because theyve gotso many beautiful flowers,look for plants that have morebuds than blooms. That wayyoull get to enjoy themlonger in your garden.

Check the number ofplants in the pot. Often therewill be an extra plant or twoin a pot. I cant tell you the

number of times Ive gottenbonus plants just by checkingall the pots to see.

Inspect the bottom ofthe pot. If you see a lot ofroots coming out the drainageholes in the bottom of thecontainer, it could mean the

plant has spent too much timein the pot (or at least a pot ofits size). Inside the container,you could find roots that have

circled the bottom of the potbecause they had nowhereelse to go.

This may or may not be aproblem. If you choose aplant that has become rootbound like this, be sure toloosen the roots before plant-ing.

Read the tags with cau-tion. Im a little distrustful ofplant tags these days when itcomes to zones. With the newUSDA Zone map putting mostof our area in Zone 6, gardencenters are stocking moreplants that need Zone 6 condi-tions to survive the winter.

Experienced gardenersknow that regardless of whatthe USDA says, Zone 6 ratedplants can be iffy here. At best,we may now be firmly in Zone5, but just because theres anew map doesnt mean youcan now plant things youcouldnt plant before.

Of course, each garden willstill have microclimates thatallow you to overwinter somethings that normally wouldsuccumb to winters cold, butas a general rule, I still stick tothe Zone 5 (and colder) plants.

As you gain experience as agardener, these things will be-

come second nature to youwhen youre looking for plantsto buy. Until then, keep them inmind as you fill your shoppingcart.

A Penny ForYour Thoughts....By: Nancy W hitaker

BOO!

Do you remember tellingghost stories when you were

young? We used to gatheraround a fire at night, watch-ing the fire and seeing whocould either make up or tellthe scariest story.

One of the favorite fright-ening tales we all loved to tellwas that of Little Johnny.Of course, even though weknew the ending of the story,the element of surprise at theend never failed to make usscream.

I dont know if kids eventell this Little Johnny storyanymore, but it is really aclassic. Of course, the story is

always told better in the darkshadows with a full moonshining above.

The child in the story isLittle Johnny. He was a littlefellow and had just got tuckedin his bed for the night.Johnny was not really scaredof ghosts because he hadnever seen one and besides hedidnt believe in them.

That night was especiallydark and an eerie moon castshadows across Johnnyswooden bedroom floor. Hesighed and snuggled down inhis warm feather bed and was

thinking about what he wasgoing to do tomorrow.

All of a sudden, loud foot-steps echoed on the stairs out-side his room. He heard a

loud breathing and a deepthunderous voice said,Johnny, I am coming to getyou. Johnny, Im on the firststep.

Johnny covered up his headand peeked out just a little.The ghastly voice then said,Johnny, Im on the secondstep. Johnny again coveredup his head, only this time hedid not peek out.

The footsteps were gettingcloser and louder. Johnnycould hear the creature

breathing. The voice said,Johnny, I am on the fifth

step.Finally, the big monster

said, Johnny, I am on the laststep. I am going to get youand eat you. I am very hun-gry.

By this time all the kids lis-tening to the story around thefire were huddled togetherwaiting for the finale!

Oh no, cried littleJohnny. Please dont.

As the monster gets intoJohnnys room. Johnny isshaking when all of a suddenwithout warning the eeriecreature says....... BOO! Got

cha!Just as it was years ago, we

all have some type of super-stition and fears of the un-known. Another story that is

always scary is Hansel andGretel.

The poor kids who were al-most starving to death founda house in the forest made ofcandy and goodies. An oldwitch lived there and she tookthe children, locked them up,fed them to fatten them upand was planning to eat them.

I am sure you know the endof the story and it has a happyending, however, that is notone of my favorite fairy tales.

Rumor has it that there aremultiple ghosts right here inPaulding. The old jail is one

of the places that is said tohave a ghost roaming around.People also say there may bea ghost at the library and atthe site of the old childrenshome.

Everyone has fear of theunknown. Your fear may beghosts, monsters, werewolvesor chupacabras ... and that,my dear, is a whole otherstory.

Do you like to tell scarystories? Have you ever seenor heard a ghost? What scaresyou and makes you scream?Let me know and Ill give

you a Penny for YourThoughts. BOOOOOO!
