WT grad nds K-9‘dedicated partner’

By JUDY WELLS

Feature Writer When they go on patrol eachnight, Patrolman Mitch Mc-Clure drives the Deance Po-lice Department cruiser and his partner rides in the back seat.That’s because his partner is a

7-year-old, black-as-coal K-9

ofcer named Rex that weighsa little over 100 pounds. The pair works from 11 p.m. until7 a.m. “Rex is the most dedicated partner I’ve ever had,” Mitchsays. “We have a special

Judy Wells/Paulding County Progress

Standing beside the car they spend nearly every night in, Mitch McClure and Rex are ready to head home for some sleep beforethey start their next shift at 11 p.m. the next night.

Judy Wells/Paulding County Progress

Mitch McClure, a Wayne Trace graduate, says he’s found hiscalling. “I knew I wanted to be a K-9 handler as soon as I rodewith my instructor at the police academy,” he says. “Rex is theperfect partner for me. He keeps me on my toes.”

bond that most people don’t

understand. He’s completelydevoted to protecting me anddoing whatever I ask him todo.” Thirty-two-year-old Mitch,who grew up in Grover Hill, isa Wayne Trace graduate who played football and basketballin high school. But he knewearly on that he wanted towork in law enforcement. “When I was attending the police academy in Lima, I hada chance to ride with one ofthe K-9 handlers,” he says. “Ireally enjoyed watching himwork with his dog and decidedright then that I wanted to dothis.”

After graduating from theacademy, Mitch worked in thecounty for a short time, andthen became a patrolman forthe Deance Police Depart-ment. “I worked as a police ofcerfor two years in Paulding andAntwerp,” he says. “And I’ve been here in Deance for al-most nine years now. I reallyenjoy working the night shiftwith Rex. We’ve had someunusual calls and have been introuble a few times, but he’salways come through and donewhatever he needed to do to protect me.” In March 2009, Rex arrived

at Faus Kennels in Elkhart,Ind. from Czechoslovakia. “As near as we can tell fromhis passport, he was about ayear-and-a-half old when I gothim,” Mitch says. “It was kindof hard to decipher, but that’s pretty close.” Following their 13-weektraining course in Elkhart,Mitch and Rex started their pa-trol duties in July of that year. “He’s a very stubborn dog,”

Mitch says with a chuckle.

“There was never a time whenI didn’t want to continue withthe training, but he did try my patience a few times. But oncehe gured out that I was theleader of the pack, so to speak,he was ne. Now he’s my bestfriend and partner. Most days Ispend more time with him thanI do with my wife, LeAnn. Heeven sleeps when I do, some-times in bed with me. He’s pretty restless, though, so Iusually make him sleep on theoor.” Rex’s training includestracking, article searches, drugsearches, handler protection, building searches, aggression

control and obedience. “Obedience is the most important,” Mitch says. “I needto have control of him at alltimes. He’s trained to do build-ing searches alone. All I haveto do is give him the commandand he’ll go into a buildingand search each room. It can be dangerous for him, but he’sa tool, not a pet. If someone ishiding in the building and plan-ning to do harm, I’d rather seeRex get hurt than an ofcer. “A lot of people have a com-mon misconception that policedogs are mean. But that’s nottrue,” Mitch continues. “Yes,they can be mean and bite

when they have to, but I don’tlike for that to happen withRex. He’s as gentle as can bewith my kids. Lance is 7 andKendal is 5 and they play withhim all the time when I’mhome. As soon as we get homefrom work, he transitions froman ofcer to a dog.” Statistically, Rex is the bus-iest K-9 ofcer Deance has

New cow supplies cream

for a homemade treat March! This year is goingway too fast for me! Daughter Verena and I justcame in from milking our newcow, Bessie, and doing theoutside chores. Son Josephusually takes care of feedingthe horses. I left the school

children sleep later this morn-ing so there wasn’t enoughtime. We are getting plenty ofmilk from Bessie.

I haven’t milked a cowsince I was married almost 22years ago. It was fun to milk acow again but not somethingI want to do daily. The boyshave been milking Bessie atnight. Until Joseph gets fasterat it, Verena and I usually milkher in the mornings. I can feelmy arms aren’t used to it any-more. When I was seven years oldI started helping to milk ourcows at home. Every morn-ing and evening we had 12 to

14 cows we milked by hand.When Joe and I were marriedmy parents gave us a milk cow, but Joe always milked her as Iwas always busy with the lit-tle children. Now our childrenaren’t so little anymore; thismakes a person sometimeswish time would slow down. Friday evening quite a few people attended the birthday party for niece Salome at thecommunity building. Ourfamily attended and so didTimothy and Mose. Guests played basketball and vol-leyball and also other games.Some of us sat and visitedafter supper. The community

building is a nice, big place tohave such an event in the coldwinter months.

Joe’s sister Christine, Jake,and nine children came herefor the night after the birthdaysupper. They were here untilSaturday afternoon. Saturday morning for break-fast we had biscuits, sausagegravy, scrambled eggs, cheese,hot peppers, coffee, milk, grape juice, and rhubarb juice. For the noon meal Joe andMose grilled ham and hotwings. Jake and his sons frozeice cream. Christine mixed theingredients for the ice cream.We used the cream off of our

cow’s milk. It sure makes somuch better tasting ice cream.I also made a pasta casserole tohave with the grilled meat andice cream. The forenoon was spent playing games. Verena alsohad some friends over so therewere plenty of people to playgames. Matthew (Jake and Chris-tine’s son) and son Kevin hada hard time going to sleepFriday evening. They wereso excited about being able tospend the night together. Daughter Susan took Edwinand Rosetta (Jake and Chris-tine’s two youngest children)

for a pony ride with Tiger, our pony. Matthew and Kevin alsowent along. It was a cold ride

but they dressed warm and enjoyed it! Daughter Lovina andJake’s daughter Miriam alsowent along for the pony ride. Kevin went to bed beforedark Saturday evening andslept until the next morning.He was very tired from a long

day and not sleeping muchFriday evening. Sunday we spent the day athome. Our afternoon visitorswere nephews Jacob Jr. andBenjamin, and niece Emma,and her special friend Men-no. Timothy and Mose werehere for the day as well. The boys froze another batch of icecream. Our children like mynew ice cream recipe a lot bet-ter. I’ll share it with you thisweek. God’s blessings to all!

WBESC hears concerns about budget VAN WERT – The WesternBuckeye Educational ServiceCenter (WBESC) governing board held its regular monthly board meeting Feb. 25 at theVan Wert ESC ofce. Superintendent Brian Gerberupdated the board on GovernorKasich’s proposed executive budget, legislative issues, per-sonnel items, and ESC activi-ties. Gerber spent the majorityof the meeting discussing Ka-

sich’s proposed executive bud-get. “Governor Kasich is pro- posing a 25 percent cut in ESCfunding over the next two years.During the past four years, thegovernor has been advocatingshared services to reduce cost.Western Buckeye ESC has re-duced the cost to our partnerschools through a shared ser-vices delivery model. “The governor’s proposal ofa 25 percent funding cut willnegatively impact our abilityto reduce costs by sharing ser-vices. Without a shared servicesmodel, it’s possible our partnerschools will see an increase intheir spending throughout thenext two years. “Shared service delivery in-cludes sharing speech, occupa-tional, and physical therapists.We share school psychologists,gifted education personnel, andgrant writing personnel. ESCs provide curriculum directorsand special education directorsto meet the needs of our partnerschools,” said Gerber. Other ESC instructional ser-vices include itinerant specialeducation and related servicesstaff, paraprofessional support, preschool special educa-tion support, 21st century af-ter-school programs, and alter-native schools. “The Alternative School tai-lors curriculum around emo-tionally disabled students tomeet their specific learningneeds. It serves those studentswho need to recover credits inorder to meet graduation re-quirements,” continued Gerber.“The administration and staff at

alternative/opportunity schoolswork together with partnerschools to support and developa standards-based curriculumthat will allow students to suc-ceed and graduate. “This is directly related to theeconomic vitality of our com-munity and state. These studentsrange from the most gifted to themost at-risk, including specialneeds students and other at-risk populations such as dropoutsand adjudicated youth,” he said. Gerber said, “I’ve been in this business long enough to knowthe governor’s proposed execu-tive budget is a process. Hope-fully good common sense willcontinue to prevail over radicalthinking. The most frustratingthing about this issue is thatOhio is much healthier nan-cially than it was in the previ-ous four years. With all factorsin consideration, the 25 percentfunding cut makes little sense.” WBESC action items in-cluded: • a one-year extension of alimited contract to Jenna Stoller-Sherry as physical therapist forthe 2015-16 school year, contin-gent upon receiving licensure,for 190 days with salary set at$61,750. • accepted retirement/di s-ability resignation of Paula Lug-ibihl, physical therapist effec-tive March 16 and thanking herfor service to Western Buckeye

Education Service Center andthe children of Van Wert andPaulding counties. • approved budget revisionsfor the 2015 Alternative SchoolGrant and 21st Century Grant. • okayed contract with Ther -apy Solutions to provide phys-ical therapy services for theremainder of the 2014-2015school year. Next regular board meet-ing will be 6 p.m. Wednesday,March 18 in the Paulding ESCofce.

Random acts

of dedication

appreciatedDear Editor,

It’s easy to nd storiesof public service that leaveus aggravated. But I have astory of over achievement toshare. My son is in the thirdgrade at Paulding Elemen-tary this year. The state hasimplemented a test for hisgrade called the PARCC. Ican tell that as time goes byhe is starting to question if

he’s ready or not. On a recentFriday the third grade teach-ers volunteered their time toorganize a test fun night afterschool for the kids. My son

came home that night and toldme all about the fun learningstations they had set up andsnacks they provided. I couldtell that he had a great timeand felt more prepared for thetest.

The teachers deserve a bigthank you for that one. I thinkrandom acts of dedication likethis are probably easer to ndthan we think in our school but I chose this one becauseit left such a positive impres-sion on my son.

I just wanted to get outfront and thank these teach-ers rst, as I am sure that the

school board and superinten-dent will be swooning overthem ... Right?

Music! Music! Music! One thing that has always been a big part of peopleslife is music. Everyone singsat one time or another. Sing-ing can be heard in the show-er, car, school, church andat home. Music is presented by radio, television, DVD’s,mp3s, computers, iPodsand cell phones. When I was about 3 years

old, I sang my rst song inchurch. I remember the song Isang was, “Hand in Hand WithJesus.” I grew up in a churchgoing family and music wasa big part of our church ser-vices. It was in church that Ilearned from different musi-cians the different chords andchord changes. I remember Grandma had anold upright piano and an oldrecord player in the parlor. Iwould shut myself in that roomfor hours, picking out songs onthe piano and practicing. Ofcourse I learned gospel musicrst, but when the old ’50srock and roll and Elvis came

along, I fell in love with it. I would go upstairs afterschool, turn on the radio and pretend I was rocking androlling with Jerry Lee Lew-is. Now Grandma didn’t likethe new rock and roll when itcame around, so I would haveto sneak around to hear it.Those old rock and roll songsI listened to and learned then,I still play today. Stop and think about the power of a song. Each an-imal makes some type ofsound whether it is growling,chirping, hissing or croaking.A song can make us laugh orcry. A song can calm a crying

baby or soothe a troubled soul.I do believe our lives are inu-enced by songs and music. If you ever go to a parade,one of the rst great soundsyou hear is that of a school band playing and marching intime to the music. There areso many talented singers andmusicians around and they arenot all in Nashville. They arein our schools, churches, nurs-

ing homes and senior centers.Maybe you don’t claim to bea great singer, but I bet every-one sometime during the dayeither hums or whistles a tune. One thing that has alwayscomforted me is music. I mustnot be alone in my thinking because the following quoteshave been said about music. “Just as Jesus created winefrom water, we humans are ca- pable of transmuting emotioninto music.” – Carlos Santana “Music can change theworld because it can change people.” – Bono, U2 “Music is a higher reve-lation than all wisdom and

philosophy. Music is the elec-trical soil in which the spiritlives, thinks and invents.” –Ludwig van Beethoven “Music does bring peopletogether. It allows us to experi-ence the same emotions. Peo- ple everywhere are the samein heart and spirit. No matterwhat language we speak, whatcolor we are, the form of our

politics or the expression ofour love and our faith, music proves: We are the same.” –John Denver

“Music washes away fromthe soul the dust of everydaylife.” – Berthold Auerbach

“Do you know that our soulis composed of harmony?” –Leonardo DaVinci

“I think music in itself ishealing. It’s an explosive expression of humanity. It’ssomething we are all touched by. No matter what culturewe’re from, everyone lovesmusic.” – Billy Joel

There have been times inthe past year that certain songs

have brought tears to my eyesand others have put a smileon my face. The Bible says to“Make a joyful noise unto theLord.” So even if you thinkyou cannot sing, we can stillmake a noise. Do you sing in the shower?Do you like music? Do youthink music plays an import-ant part in our lives, past, pres-ent and future? Let me knowand I’ll give you a Penny forYour Thoughts. (Next week in Penny forYour Thoughts, it will be funto go back and name some ofthe number one songs duringcertain decades.)

Milkweed: A vital plant

for monarch butterflies

The milkweed plant is the only food source for monarch but-teries. Milkweed can grow to 6 feet tall and is an excellent op-tion to attract monarchs to the garden area.

By Staci MillerEducation specialist

Paulding SWCD The common milkweed plant is often considered a bothersome weed that grows ingardens and along ditch banks, but it does serve an important purpose for monarch butteries. The milkweed plant is the onlyfood source for monarch butter-ies and they couldn’t survivewithout this food source. Themilkweed is also a primary foodsource to other insects. Femalemonarch butteries lay their eggson the leaves of milkweed plants. Planting milkweed is a greatway to help other pollinatorstoo, as milkweed provides nec-tar resources to a diverse varietyof bees and butteries. Commonmilkweed, when broken apart,lets out a milky sap. This sap has poisons in it, called cardiac glyco-sides. Some animals can eat theglycosides and not be harmed, but please note this sap is poison-ous to livestock and humans ifconsumed. Once the monarch’s caterpillareats on the leaves of milkweed,the glycosides goes into its body,making the caterpillar poisonousto predators. Even after the cat-erpillar has changed into an adult buttery, it keeps the glycosidesin its body, protecting it from be-ing eaten by predictors.

Common milkweed can growup to 6 feet tall. It has large, broadleaves, usually 4 to 10 incheslong. They sometimes have redveins. Common milkweed owersare pinkish-purple clusters and bloom from June to August.

Their fruits are green pods whichturn brown before bursting open

to let out uffy seeds. The plant releases a sweetfragrance in air while it’s blooming. If you are interest-ed in attracting more monarch

butteries to your garden or property then planting some

milkweed would be a great op-tion for you. Source: Information provid-ed by USDA and NRCS plant guide on common milkweed.

Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month PAULDING – Each yearduring March, CRSI joins the

nation in celebrating Develop-mental Disabilities AwarenessMonth. As it does all year long,CRSI focuses on peoples’

abilities and similarities ratherthan differences and encour-

ages everyone to welcome people with developmentaldisabilities into their com-munities. Many new oppor-tunities are emerging in thisspirit throughout the state,including community-basedemployment options likethose provided by Strive@CRSI and CRSI’s residentialopportunities that more fullyintegrate people with disabil-ities into the community. The2015 theme for DD Aware-ness Month reects this spirit – “Can Do Like You!” CRSI’s business practicesinclude the establishment ofa safe, quality support system

designed for each individual,and provided by a staff trainedand encouraged to be an active participant in the individual’slife. While CRSI is focused allyear long on the business of providing developmental dis-ability services, we recognizethe importance of taking some

time each year to recognizethe needs and skills of some of

our community members whohave a lot to offer; and who, atthe same time, need some support along the way. Please take the time to getto know a relative, neighboror acquaintance who is livingwith any type of developmen-tal disability and you are like-ly to experience the “Can DoLike You!” attitude for your-self.
