P P AULDING AULDING C C OUNTY OUNTY CECIL – On Sunday May 5, Paulding County suffered its fourth traffic fatality of the year. Dead is 72-year-old David Bakle of Paulding. The two-vehicle crash oc- curred at 1:09 p.m. on U.S. 24 and Road 115 in Emerald Township. U.S. 24 was shut down in both directions for about one hour. According to Sheriff Jason Landers, Bakle was driving a 2005 Chevy Silverado on Road 115 and failed to yield the right-of-way to a west- bound 2004 Chrysler Town & Country driven by Corinne Ehrhart, 36, of Antwerp. Bakle was ejected upon im- pact and was pronounced dead at the scene by Coroner Joseph Kuhn. Ehrhart and her two passen- gers, Mallory Ehrhart, age 10, and Maclaron Ehrhart, age 4, sustained injuries. Maclaron was taken by Samaritan air ambulance to Parkview Memorial Hospital in Fort Wayne. Corinne and Mallory were transported by Defiance’s Promedica Ground Unit to Parkview. The initial investigation shows all three occupants of the Ehrhart vehicle were prop- erly restrained. Bakle was not wearing his safety belt at the time of the crash. The accident remains under investigation by the sheriff’s office. Also assisting at the scene were Paulding Fire and EMS and Defiance and Van Wert post of Ohio State Highway Patrol.

As of July 1, the dog warden’s office duties and dog shelter opera- tions will be under the author- ity of the sheriff’s office. The change is the result of a vote by county Commis- sioners Fred Pieper, Tony Zartman and Roy Klopfen- stein on May 1. A press release issued by the commissioners later that morning stated, “The com- missioners are confident this change will promote efficien- cy and provide 24/7 service to the county residents.” Dyson, Huckabaa and sev- eral supporters attended a press conference on Monday morning, which also was at- tended by Sheriff Jason Landers, media representa- tives and the commissioners. Pieper, as chairman of the commissioners, started the session, which lasted for more than an hour. He said that the board was making the move “after months of considera- tion” to better serve the needs of the community safely and with 24/7 service. They felt the best option was to transfer the operation to the sheriff’s office, saying “respect comes with the (deputy’s) uniform.” Also, they noted a deputy has the power to cite someone for disorderly conduct and “it’s important to citizens to have a quick response time.” Nine other Ohio counties have the dog warden’s office under the sheriff’s depart- ment; none of them are in northwest Ohio. Plans call for the sheriff to hire a full-time deputy to as- sume dog warden duties, probably weekdays during the day shift. A part-time deputy will be assistant dog warden on weekends. Dyson won’t be eligible for the full-time office because her husband already works for the sheriff’s office and under state ethics law cannot super- vise a spouse. Dyson, who currently is a reserve deputy, could apply for the part-time position, according to Sheriff Landers. The sheriff posted internal- ly for a current deputy to transfer into the dog warden position. If no one shows in- terest, he will hire from out- side the department. He said that after hours, the road deputies, if available, would have to respond to dog complaints. The dog warden would be called if necessary, but it would be overtime. Dyson has had to answer as many as 30 calls in one day. She has not had to eutha- nize a dog since last August.

With regards to the Paulding County Emergency Management Agency (EMA), commissioners are urging members of the group’s mem- ber municipalities to dissolve the countywide executive EMA board and allow the agency to be restructured under their direction. Current commissioners say there are supervision issues. They see the current board’s oversight of the director as in- termittent rather than ongoing and would like to see a change, according to a discus- sion Monday morning in their office. They would also like to see things done in what they called a “timely fashion.” Commissioner Tony Zartman said the commission- ers have been approached by citizens and first responders about an “ongoing situation,” but refused to elaborate, say- ing he could not discuss what was said in executive session. “We have our reasons for making a change,” said Fred Pieper, chairman of the board of commissioners. He added that current director, Randy Shaffer, had expressed an in- terest in retiring. Zartman added that com- missioners are currently in discussion with Shaffer on how to keep him positively in- volved until his retirement, but the matter has not been re- solved. “If there is any way we can get him to retirement without affecting the EMA response to the county, we will do that,” he said. He added that they would like to retain Shaffer in an ad- visory capacity, “He has a vast amount of knowledge.” Commissioners, who indi- cated under their control the EMA director would be over- seen by the sheriff’s office, were unsure if the director would continue to be housed at the extension building or moved to the sheriff’s office. It was noted the finances would become a supplement to the sheriff’s budget. They said the EMA office would be reorganized under resolution and that the EMA director would become a county employee rather than one of an executive commit- tee.

Paulding Council agrees to proposed EMA changesBy BILL SHERRY

CorrespondentPAULDING – On Monday,

Paulding Village Council voted toterminate the county EMA agree-ment, approved several change or-ders for the new water plant andheard updates on a one-way streetproposal, softball leagues and abuilding permit request.Commissioner Tony Zartman and

Prosecutor Joe Burkard presentedcouncil with a proposal to changethe Emergency ManagementAgency (EMA) from its originalstructure created at its inception in1989. The change would involveterminating the 1989 structure of theEMA and setting up a new EMAstructure under the control of thecounty sheriff.Council voted 4-2 in favor of ter-

minating the 1989 contract and giv-

ing Mayor Greg White the authorityto sign for the village’s acceptanceof this termination.Councilmen Mike Trausch and

Barbara Rife voted against thechange.After the meeting, Rife comment-

ed, “I voted no because I think weneeded more information and I thinkall the county fire chiefs should havebeen in approval. And, it was notedthat Gene Sheets, Cecil fire chief,was against the action.”The action being taken of termi-

nating the 1989 contract is the pre-cursor of a new EMA being formedunder the sheriff’s office, but thelegislation did not spell this out. Itwas stated that more than half of thePaulding County municipalities andtownships have to vote to terminatethe 1989 contract before moving onto the next step.

Council approved village admin-istrator Harry Wiebe’s Agenda by avote of 5 to 1. Councilman RandyDaeger cast the no vote. The admin-istrator’s agenda consisted of achange order with a list of 14 itemsdescribed as miscellaneous items.This change order increases theoriginal contract price of the watertreatment plant and forcemain proj-ect by $65,376 from an original con-tract price of $9,614,000 to a totalcost for the project of$9,907,302.22. The difference is theresult of previously approvedchange orders 0 to 5 in the amountof $227,926.22.The street committee tabled the

ordinance to make a portion ofJefferson Street a one-way streetnear the school for further study andwill be making three more observa-tions in order to obtain a greater un-

derstanding of the problem.Recreation committee chair Mike

Trausch advised council that therehas been some interest in 10 co-edteams and three adult womenleagues playing at Reservoir Parkyet this year. The recreation commit-tee hopes to get some solid commit-ments of teams and sponsors early inMay. There was some indicationthat they may start playing as earlyas May 19.The recreation committee re-

viewed the possibility of the addi-tion of a restroom at Reservoir Park,but recommended that the villagenot go forward with construction atthis time due to the total cost of theproject exceeding $50,000.Trausch told council that the wif-

fle ball field fence had been repairedand a new steel roof has been in-stalled on the back shelter house.

A planning committee meeting isscheduled for 5 p.m. on May 13 todiscuss the building permit for theold Paulding-Putnam Electric prop-erty located on North WilliamsStreet. Jack and Paul Grewal fromNapoleon are interested in develop-ing the former location into a con-venience-store type of facility withfood serviceCouncilman Tom Diaz advised

council that there are numerousproperties in the village that alreadyhave tall grass. Mayor White in-formed council that he had been indiscussion with the police chief re-garding this situation.Mayor White told council that

mayor’s court for the month of Aprilnetted $775.The next regularly scheduled

meeting will be held at 6:30 p.m.Monday, May 20.

OAKWOOD – The VanWert Post of the Ohio StateHighway Patrol is investigat-ing a two-vehicle traffic crashthat occurred at 8:16 p.m.Friday, May 3. The crash oc-curred on Road 140 at the in-tersection of Road 191 aboutthree miles northwest ofOakwood in Brown

Township. A 2012 Jeep Grand

Cherokee driven by KacyWagner, 30, Oakwood, wastraveling southbound on Road191. A 2003 ChevroletSilverado driven by BenjaminDecker, 28, Defiance, wastraveling eastbound on Road140.

Troopers said Wagnerfailed to stop for the postedstop sign at the intersectionand as her vehicle continuedinto the intersection it wasstruck by Decker’s vehicle.Wagner sustained serious

injuries and was transportedby Samaritan Life Flight toParkview Hospital, Fort

Wayne.Decker was transported to

Mercy Defiance Hospital,where he was treated and re-leased. Wagner’s passenger, Brett

Wagner, 30, Oakwood, sus-tained minor injuries and wastreated at the scene.The crash remains under in-

vestigation.Assistance at the scene was

provided by the PauldingCounty Sheriff’s Office, Oak -wood Police Department, Oak -wood Fire and EMS, Sam -aritan Life Flight, R&O Ser -vice and Integrity Auto Body.

authorizations, they have theauthority to withdraw fromthe current board and formtheir own. Then, they said, allthe townships and villageswould be responsible forforming their own emergencyresponse plans and hiring theirown directors. Essentially, thiswould force the political sub-divisions to join the countyanyway.Last week when asked

about the matter, Sheriff JasonLanders said, “I cannot be theEMA director by law. I do notwant to be the EMA director.But I agreed that I can super-vise the position.”Tamara McBride, of the

Ohio EMA’s Internal/ExternalAffairs Department, told theProgress that the ORC doesnot regulate the number ofmeetings an EMA executiveboard must have and its onlyrequirement of the EMA di-rector is to attend one of itstwo annual training courses.She was unaware of any

difficulties with the PauldingCounty EMA.In an earlier conversation

with the last remaining mem-ber of the original EMA exec-utive board, Cecil MayorGene Sheets, he indicated thecommissioners called specialmeetings of the EMA execu-tive board April 17 and 26.“They wanted to disband

the board and take it over.They didn’t give a clear rea-son,” he said.Sheets said at the first meet-

ing it was noted that such avote must take place at ameeting that had been adver-tised. The second meeting wasset and a notice was posted inthe courthouse, according toSheets.He said at the second meet-

ing an oral vote was taken fol-lowed by a written vote. Twodissenting votes were cast.During this meeting it came

to light that the board couldnot vote to disband itself, but amajority of the member enti-ties would have to take thisaction.Sheets said the commis-

sioners told the EMA boardthat they themselves would bepulling county money fromthe EMA should the board notdisband. The commissionersconfirmed this at the Mondaymorning meeting.Sheets, who is president of

the executive board and alsoassistant chief of the CraneTownship/Cecil Fire

Department, said two of thecommissioners were claimingthat Shaffer wasn’t doing hisjob, but he himself did notknow of any problems.Because there had been no

previous discussion of thisproposed action, Sheets saidhe is angered by the move. Hewas not happy that the com-missioners did not tell themwhat will happen should theEMA board be disbanded.“I would like a better under-

standing of why they want todo this, myself,” Sheets con-cluded. “I’d like people to getinformed before this hap-pens.”Paulding Mayor Greg

White is another EMA boardmember. Although he said hehad no complaints with EMAunder its current organization,he had no qualms about vot-ing to dissolve the board.“I’m not concerned that

emergency management willbe any different that it was be-fore,” he said Tuesday morn-ing.Paulding Council had voted

Monday evening, 4-2, to pullfrom the county EMA so itcan be restructured.“I have all the faith in the

world that the commissionersand sheriff can manage theEMA. I think it’s going in theright direction,” White said.Councilman Mike Trausch

does not share the mayor’sviews. As one of the two dis-senting voters, he told theProgress Tuesday morningthat he felt the measure was“ramrodded through.”“They weren’t forthcoming

with facts and figures on whatthey have planned. They justhad papers for us to sign todissolve the board,” he said.He said although he under-

stands they want to make gov-ernment more efficient, hisquestions concerning whetheror not villages and townshipspulling out would still have asay in EMA issues weren’t ad-dressed.

(For more information seePaulding Council story, Page2)Attempts to reach other

members of the board wereunsuccessful. But HarrisonTownship Trustee GaryBenschneider, who is also aboard member, had alreadysigned the commissioners’resolution to dissolve theboard which was distributedMonday morning.Rick Noggle, disaster chair-

man of the Paulding CountyChapter of the American RedCross, seemed puzzled by theproposed change.“I have a great working re-

lationship with Randy,” hesaid. “I think he does a greatjob. He did a great job coordi-nating that disaster on US 24.”Noggle had not heard any

complaints about the currentdirector.When contacted by the

Progress, Shaffer confirmedretirement was an option forhim as soon as December, butthe commissioners had laidout retirement, resignation orfiring as his options.He was unsure that the ac-

tions currently being taken bythe commissioners are legal,stating that law does not ex-empt nor specify that theEMA director be under theauspices of the sheriff, but ofeither an EMA board or thecommissioners.He was concerned about to

whom the director would beresponsible, the commission-ers or the sheriff, as both areelected officials.Shaffer is not only in charge

of the local EMA, but also thelocal LEPC and HAZMAT re-sponse team.Commissioners said it was

coincidental that this matter,and that of the dog warden, isbeing handled at a time whena proposed amendment toOhio House Bill 59, thatwould put both under the con-trol of the sheriff, failed tomake it out of committee.

spends “countless hours” athome, on her cell phone andon computer trying to findhomes for dogs.By state law, dogs that are

picked up without tags mustbe kept at least 14 days; dogswithout tags must be kept aminimum of 72 hours. Duringthe press conference, no onewas able to answer who willset policy for how long dogswill be kept after July 1.Landers admitted he’s notsure of what kind of resourcesthe future dog warden willhave available to pursue res-cuing dogs. He said they mayhave to “resort to state law.”Several of those present, in-

cluding Kathy Habern andSue Rhodes, expressed con-

cern about continuing humanetreatment of the dogs and see-ing them rescued instead ofeuthanized.Landers praised Dyson’s

abilities at dog rescue ac-knowledged the importanceof her work on behalf of theshelter. Dyson said she ex-pects the sheriff’s office andcommissioners to come to herwith their questions. The sher-iff was open to the idea of vol-unteers helping with rescues.Discussions have not taken

place yet on logistics and howexactly the change will takeplace.The residents in attendance

were persistent in questioningwhy the commissioners madetheir decision. Not only had

no dogs been euthanized inthe past nine months, but theoffice had stayed within itsbudget ($60,000); shelter callsare forwarded to her cellphone for response day ornight; and she hired an assis-tant warden Jan. 1, when herbudget finally allowed the ex-pense.Also, the commissioners

didn’t do any cost analysiscomparing current expensesversus the cost of havingdeputies handle the jobs.“The sheriff’s office has

enough to do,” commentedBob Duffey. “You’re notshowing a cost savings.There’s no need to changewhat’s already working.”The commissioners said

that budgetary concerns aresecondary in this situation, ac-knowledging that the costmay be the same or it maycost more. Their main con-cern, said Pieper, is servingthe public.They also noted that they

had received “numerous”complaints, but would notcomment on whether thecomplaints were directed atDyson or were about responseor service. “We will not com-ment on complaints becauseit’s a personnel issue,” Piepersaid.On further questioning, he

said that the commissionershad tried to rectify the situa-tion before making a decision.They began discussing alter-natives in mid-February.The commissioners feel the

dog warden position needsdaily supervision, which willcome from the sheriff’s office.Currently, the board meetswith Dyson once a week.Pieper added that the com-

missioners had absolutelymade their decision and willnot change their minds.“It’s not a decision reached

lightly,” said Zartman. “Itweighed heavily on ourhearts. We’re not necessarilycomfortable with the decisionbut we’re sure it’s the right de-cision.”

Dog warden loses jobFrom Progress Staff Reports

PAULDING – Paulding County Commissioners held anews conference on Monday to explain their decision to shiftthe dog wardens duties to the sheriff’s office. This is to be-come effective on July 1.Paulding County dog warden Georgia Dyson, found out last

Wednesday, May 1, about the transfer of duties and the subse-quent loss of her position. She was told that it was for safetyreasons.This did not make any sense to her as she is a certified peace

officer and a member of the sheriff’s office reserve as well.She is also an Afghan veteran and received extensive hand tohand combat training. So, it was quite puzzling to her as towhy her safety was a big enough concern to warrant them toreplace her with the sheriff’s office.Dyson, who assumed the role of dog warden in December

2010 said, “I have worked endless hours to ensure that I did-n’t have to put dogs down. I haven’t euthanized a dog sinceAug. 21, 2012.“Also since I took over I haven’t had to use any money from

the general fund. I have had a carryover balance each yearsince I have been the chief dog warden.“The dog shelter is funded by tags and license fees and by

donations.”Dyson said, “My job does not end at 4 p.m. I have the dog

warden’s number forwarded to my cell phone after hours andI know they are getting round-the clock assistance.”Dyson said that she would not be eligible to apply for the

dog deputy duties as she is married to a deputy and they do nothire relatives.However, it was disclosed that Dyson could apply for a

part-time position that will be created by the sheriff’s officeand it would cover weekends.Meanwhile, assistant dog warden Ken Huckabaa, who was

A history: In 1989 as a cost saving measure, all 11 villages inthe county plus all 12 townships were approached by the coun-ty to establish a countywide entity after the state required eachto appoint an EMA director of its own or to join together into onebody.The move was pitched as a way to prepare for accidents in-

volving hazardous materials, natural disasters or civil defenseemergencies. Its organization was to be comprised of five villageor township leaders, a non-elected official appointed by theboard and a commissioner. This group was to select a directorwho would answer to them.Membership in the EMA was described as not permanent. Any

township or village was allowed to withdraw at the end of anyyear by giving written notice to the commissioners and the exec-utive committee 90 days before that year’s end. But they wouldhave to form their own EMA.After several meetings, going into the early months of 1990,

leaders of these governmental units agreed to form a countyEMA. Commissioners set aside $3,000 to which each townshipadded $100 and villages submitted anywhere from $50 to $300for operating expenses.An executive board was formed in February 1990 and they

appointed their first director in March. He was also the directorof the Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC), another en-tity mandated by law that was previously in place. This groupmerged with the EMA for a smooth transition.)

The Amish CookBy: Lovina Eicher

Kevin likes to take proteinshakes and tells us he is try-ing to not get MD. He alwaysasks for vitamins so that hecan stay strong, he says. He issuch a young age and it is sohard for him to understand.He likes to bike and keepsasking us when we will bikewith him to go to Jacob andEmma’s house.He did bike the 4 miles

there and back last summer.My daily prayer is to staystrong and help them acceptwhat is God’s plan in their life.There are a lot of children inthis world with problems somuch worse than MD. Thatmakes us think of how manyblessings we do have.Our neighbor, Joe, and his

friend, helped my husband,Joe, put up two swings fromthe big oak tree branches. Theropes had tore on the oldswings and Loretta kept askingif we could get new rope. Sheloves to sit out there and swingwhen the other children arebiking or playing ball.Our neighbor, Joe, lives

right beside us and his 85-year-old grandmother, Irene,lives across the road. Theyare both very helpful neigh-bors. Irene is still very activeand does all her housework,mowing and has a garden.In the middle of the winter

We are having cold, rainyweather again. Monday wasnice and sunny so we couldget the laundry all dried. Weare out of coal so, hopefully,it won’t get too cold yet. Itlooks like it will be a latespring. It is so different fromthe early spring we had lastyear. The rivers are overflow-ing. There are even a fewsnow flurries mixed in withthe light rain and the temper-ature is at 35.Susan, Verena and Ben-

jamin filled out applicationsfor corn de-tasseling. Wearen’t sure if Benjamin willbe able to go. If he does hewould have to wait until his14th birthday which is July14. He is really hoping he cango.This is always disappoint-

ing to Loretta, since sheknows she won’t be able togo next year. It would be waytoo much walking for her.She gets tired enough fromthe whole day in school.Last week we had Kevin

fitted for braces (leg). He wasvery upset with it all anddoesn’t really understandabout muscular dystrophy. Itmakes our hearts ache tothink of their future. That iswhy it is so important that welet God be in control and tryto accept “His” plan.

you will see her driving hertractor to carry the wood toher house. She splits all herown wood with a wood split-ter for the next winter. Wewish her many more happyand healthy years.After school today I need

to take daughter Verena tohave a root canal done at thedentist. She had an abscessedtooth and went through a lotof pain until she took the an-tibiotic. The dentist hopes theroot canal will work other-wise he will have pull it.I want to get some sewing

done today. Daughter Susan isgetting ready to bake chocolatechip cookies. This is the thirdday this week that I have had totake one of the children to anappointment.

In My Opinion

‘The Bodys’There were four people named Everybody, Somebody,

Anybody and Nobody. There was an important job to bedone and Everybody was asked to do it. Everybody was sureSomebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but No-body did it. Somebody got angry about that, because it wasEverybody’s job.Everybody thought Any-

body could do it, but No-body realized thatEverybody wouldn’t do it.It ended up that Everybodyblamed Somebody forwhat Anybody could havedone.From the time we are

young until we die, there is always something that should bedone, shouldn’t be done, could be done, may get done or willget done. When we are young, we depend on our parents tofeed us, clothe us, educated us and support us. That is whatour parents do.When we start school and all throughout our school years,

we have our teachers to guide us, teach us and prepare us forour venture into adult life. That is what schools and teachersdo.Sometimes, parents do forget. Perhaps one of them forgets

to give their child lunch money, thinking the other one didgave it to them. However, it may wind up that nobody hasgiven you lunch money and you go hungry.Have you ever served on a committee and knew exactly

what you were supposed to do? Did you have a certain re-sponsibility on a committee? A lot of churches hold big din-ners, there are county fairs, festivals revival services, proms,baseball games and banquets. If any event is to be a success,those involved should do their part to ensure things go off asplanned with few glitches.We all play a part in this saga called “life.” Every cog in

the wheel needs to work together to get things accomplished.It makes no difference what your name is when it comes togetting things done. You can be Everybody, Somebody, Any-body or Nobody as long as all those “Bodys” work together.

In The Garden

By Kylee Baumle

The Master DesignerThe long-awaited truly

spring weather arrived lastweek and with it a venue forreleasing some of our pent-upenergy. The garden beganwaking up long before wecould detect it, even though itseemed like overnight itturned green and burst intobloom. The problem, of course, is

that we try to expend that en-ergy all at once and wearybodies and sore muscles arethe consequences of our win-ter inactivity.Last year’s drought, among

other things, prevented usfrom doing some intendedmajor redesigning of the maingardens here at Our LittleAcre. So this spring has usscrambling to get most of itdone before a garden clubvisits at the beginning ofJune.As far as garden design

goes, I’ve always said thatI’m not very good at it. Mygarden will never be featuredon the pages of major homeand garden publications. Idon’t have the self-disciplineto rein in my desire to growthis, that, and the other thing,so I have a collector’s and ex-perimental garden that cantend to look somewhat clut-tered.Occasionally someone will

ask me if I could please helpthem design their garden or apart of their landscape. I get alittle twitchy, because I can’trely on my artistic abilitieswhen presented with a blankcanvas. Oh, I can tell you ifsomething can grow there ornot, but just because it can

doesn’t mean it should.You’d think with all the

beautiful gardens that I’vehad the good fortune to visitand photograph, that some ofthe design talent I’ve seenwould be acquired by osmo-sis. One of those gardens be-longs to my own mother, whodoesn’t know how to make agarden look anything but at-tractive. But, we’ve all gotour strengths and weak-nesses, don’t we?So I soldier on, scheming

and planning and I dig upplants and relocate them to adifferent spot so that the gar-den hopefully not only looksbetter, but the plants will behappier too. Because part ofhaving a nice garden is learn-ing what plants need to thriveand not merely survive.I think about color and tex-

ture and height and spreadand when what goes dormantand which thing bloomswhen. It’s a lot to consider.But that’s part of the fun andchallenge of gardening.There’s always somethingnew to learn and a gardennever looks the same twoyears in a row.

Every now and then I havemoments of brilliance andwhether on purpose or bychance, something turns outwell and the aesthetics of itpleases me. Maybe I actuallyhave learned a thing or twoover the years.As I began working on this

season’s version of the gar-dens, something occurred tome. For as hard as I try to getthings just right, yet nearly al-ways falling short, my gar-dens are inevitablytransformed into a tapestry oflush shades of green, ac-cented by rainbow colors ofbloom. Not by me, mind you,but by the One who created itall in the first place, The Mas-ter Designer, and it’s “justright” after all.Read Kylee’s blog, Our Little

The heart of a nurse

Since that time, as a pastor, Ican’t begin to describe the num-ber of times I have witnessedthe caring, compassionatehearts of nurses which had con-nected so quickly with the vari-ous pains of their patients.Oh, I know, as a pastor/coun-

selor, they were probably told intheir classes like I was to neverallow themselves to become at-tached to the emotions of thosewho they care for. But a heart is a heart; like

those who they are caring for,many of the caretakers duringtimes of illness have gonethrough their own times of grief,pain and depression.They have had autistic chil-

dren, sick boys and girls, suf-fered pain, heard thedisheartening diagnosis of can-cer, cried in despair and under-gone fear of the future forthemselves or their loved ones.But, there are many who also at

As recently as this weekend,I visited a friend from our con-gregation in a local hospital.During the course of our visitand subsequent prayer, a nursecame into the room, at first wasgoing to dismiss herself untilour visit was over, but stayedand shared in the conversationby our invitation.During her visit, he was gen-

tly questioned about his painlevel, administered the meds thathe needed and was given the op-portunity to express any otherneeds at the time. But, what re-ally impressed me was thefriendly effort she made to con-nect with his concerns and inter-ests and how effectively she wasable to do that.This week is suggested by

area hospitals as, “NationalNurses Week.” The thought ofthat immediately gripped myheart as I thought of all of the“compassionate nurse mo-ments” I have witnessed overthe years.One of my first connections

of the sharing, caring hearts ofnurses occurred in GoodSamaritan Hospital in Daytonyears ago when our daughterKimberly was stillborn. After Joyce had given birth,

nurses immediately emergedfollowing the doctor’s visit andcompassionately broke intotears while expressing theirthoughts to us.

least, in principle, understandthe words of the Apostle Paulwhen he says that “we ourselvescan comfort others with whatcomfort we received in our timeof pain.” (II Cor. 1:5)I know that there are those

who have had not-so-good iso-lated experiences in sufferingsituations at times, but I amoverwhelmingly impressed bythe times I have seen nurses staywell beyond the end of theirshifts, dedicatedly put asidetheir own emotions and pain tofocus totally on those they arecaring for, taking into consider-ation the anxious feelings offamily members and lovedones who are standingnearby.The other side of me, the

writer, enjoys interviewingyoung people about their fu-ture dreams. Recently, severalhave responded to the ques-tion, “What would you like todo when you graduate,” bysaying, “I feel that God iscalling me to be a nurse.”A calling it is; it falls into the

category of the Matthew 25principle, “anyone that gives acup of cold water in my name isgiving it to me.” My saluteand prayers go out during thisspecial week to those who havefollowed that calling and areprobably too involved with theirintense care of others to even re-alize this is their “special week.”

A Penny For Your Thoughts....

By: Nancy Whitaker

WHAT’S IN MY SOUP?Eating is supposed to be

one of the nice, pleasantthings in life. We all like topartake of food that tastes andlooks good. There is nothingbetter than sitting down to ahome cooked meal and en-joying it with your family orloved one.Dining out is also a special

experience as a lot of eventsare celebrated in a restaurantwith a good meal.Naturally, when you pre-

pare food or eat out, you wantyour food to look, smell andtaste good. But, strangethings can happen if you eatat home or dine out.This past week, a lady

opened a can of green beansfor dinner. She said that sheput butter in them and cookedthe beans in the microwave.Her son dished some on hisplate alongside of meat loafand mashed potatoes and sawsomething which lookedstrange.He asked his mother,

“What is this in my greenbeans?”The mother looked and

could not believe what shesaw. It was a tiny toad thathad apparently been pickedand processed right alongside of those green beans.She had purchased the

green beans from a majorfood chain and let them knowwhat she had found.She did say that she re-

ceived $50 from the foodpacking plant which was lo-cated in Wisconsin. She alsostated that she would not beserving any more greenbeans.A few years ago a lady

bought a jar of tikka masalasauce from her local store.She was expecting it to con-tain a bit of a kick. But whatshe wasn’t expecting to findwas the dead mouse whichhad somehow ended up in thejar.She was making dinner for

herself and her boyfriend andwhen she poured the sauceinto the pan, she noticed itwas a little lumpy. As shebegan stirring the saucethrough, she noticed whatlooked like whiskers and atail. She immediately knew itwas a dead rodent.The couple took the sauce

along with the dead mouseand received an apology fromthe store manager who saidthey would check into it.We are aware that some

people will say they foundsomething in their fast foodjust to try and sue the estab-lishment. I recall when a ladywas eating chili at a fast foodrestaurant and claimed shefound part of a finger in it. This turned out to be

bogus, but I still find myselflooking for fingers in mysoup. You just never know. Years ago when my first

two daughters were little, westopped at a restaurant andexpected to get some goodfood. My one little girl or-dered french fries and whenshe was eating them noticed

something black in them. Shefished out the black itemwhich had antennas and legs.She said, “Mommy look atthis. It looks like an ant.”Sure enough, it was. It had

been french fried, but was stillintact. I know that people doeat ants, but this was one pieceof meat we had not ordered.We told the restaurant and theydid get us a new order of fries.However, we did not go backto eat there again.We are lucky that we don’t

run into this kind of grossnessevery day, however, the hor-ror stories of what has beenfound in food are numerous.I know that on the TV

show “Fear Factor” they eateverything from babychicken eggs to cow intes-

tines, but to hear about someof the strange things found inour food never ceases toamaze me.Some of the unusual things

that have cropped up in foodare: fingernails, Band-Aids,spiders, cobwebs and mag-gots. You are probably think-ing this is really some nastyitems to find in food, and yesit does happen.I have been pretty lucky

about discovering anythingforeign in my food, but westill need to be ready for theunexpected. Have you ever found any-

thing gross in your food? Ifyou have, what did you doand what was it? Let meknow and I’ll give you aPenny For Your Thoughts.

By Jim LopshireOSU Extension educatorFrost-free days are your

gardening window of oppor-tunity. Plants have time tomature, blooms to form andfruit or vegetables to ripen.Frost free dates are based

on historical data compiledby the United States Depart-ment of Agriculture, andshould be used as a reference.Frost occurs when water

vapor freezes on a surfacewhen the temperature reaches32° or below. It usually oc-curs on a clear night whenheat radiates up from theground. Tiny ice crystalsform when water vapor con-denses.Similar to dew, the temper-

ature at ground level is thekey. The temperature there isoften colder than the air tem-perature just a few feethigher. Tender plants need tobe covered for protectionfrom frost.Freeze involves a 32° sur-

face temperature that lasts fora significant length of time.Frost is not necessarily pres-ent. Vegetation damage isusually a result. A hard freeze is usually de-

fined as 25° or below. Theterm killing freeze or frost de-pends upon the hardiness ofthe plant and the level of ex-posure.Although 32° is used to

identify frost, visible frost canbe seen on the ground and onobjects when the reportedtemperatures are slightlyabove 32°.On calm, clear nights, the

cold, dense air collects nearthe ground. Under these con-ditions, the temperature nearthe ground can be a few de-grees cooler than at the 5-footheight of the official NationalWeather Service temperaturesensors.Open, grassy areas are usu-

ally the first to experiencefrost, while areas under trees

Spring’s frost free dateare more protected. Home-owners can protect plants bycovering them when a frost isexpected.Plants near heated build-

ings sometimes are sparedtoo. Because of the abun-dance of warm buildings andtrees, we often see frost in thecountryside, but not in town.The safe planting date can

vary from one location to an-other based on the microcli-matic effects of urban areas,natural terrain, moisture, sun-light, and wind exposure.Also note the current

weather conditions and pro-jections as well as your site’sconditions to determine thecorrect planting date for aspecific crop and variety.The spring safe planting date

for our area, based on the aver-age date of the last normalfreeze in the spring is May 20which has a 10 percent chanceof frost occurring.According to the Ohio

Agronomy Guide, May 10 isthe spring date with less thana 50 percent chance of havingtemperatures of 32° or lowerfor our area. With this inmind, enjoy a bountiful grow-ing season.

From a readerof PennyIn response to the Penny For Your Thoughts entitled “Hands

Down” published on May 1, Bill Bidlack of Oakwood submit-ted a poem he had written in 1989.

HANDSWhen I was but a little boy,The appendage at the end of my arm,Didn’t hold a lot of mystery,Wonder or great charm.But as I became advanced in age,And pondered the functions of the hand,I realized that in His way,God had created something grand.The hand can be used in many ways,Some good, but oft times bad,Can be used to abuse and brutalize,Or to comfort a frightened lad. The hand tho it’s great can’t work alone,From the body can’t function apart,Direction must come from the human brain,By way of our human heart.If our heart is pure and founded in Christ,The works of the hand should reflect,Likewise if the Devil holds -swayWhat actions should we expect?Hands may be folded in a prayerful stance,Or clenched in bitter rage,Can hold a scalpel with delicate touch,Or gesture from the stage.We all show body language,And hands play the biggest part,But one thing is sure, What we do with our hands,Reflects the condition of our heart.

Paulding Chamber answersconcerns over running FlatRock Creek Festival in 2013PAULDING – The Paulding Chamber of

Commerce will be running the Flat RockCreek Festival Sept. 20-22. The organizationreleased the following press statement lastweek.Founders of the fall festival Bill and Patty

Vance are stepping down after 21 years ofservice to our county. Executive Director ofthe Paulding Chamber, Erika Willitzer, saysit’s hard to measure up what the Vances haveaccomplished for our county. Countless non-profit groups have reaped the benefits of thewell-attended festival by selling food or othergoods. In return, those groups use the fundsfor their specific causes. It’s truly amazing andadmirable what they have done for our ruralcommunity, added Willitzer.The Paulding Chamber of Commerce Board

understands that residents might have reserva-tions over another group administering thefestival, but we want the public to know thatwe’re not taking this new role lightly and weintend to run it with same integrity the Vanceshave done for so many years.One of the toughest hurdles the festival has

to face is financials. While many might per-ceive this fall festival as having an abundanceof funds, the fact is the festival takes a lot ofmoney to put on each year. Just last year thefestival had expenses of roughly $56,000. Oneexpense example is the horse pulls. They costanywhere from $7,000 to $10,000 each year.Meanwhile, the festival only has around$28,000 currently in its bank account for op-erational costs. The festival depends on gateand vendor fees each year to cover the rest ofthe expenses. If a rainout or low attendanceoccurs this could be detrimental to the festivalcontinuing for years to come.The chamber board is aiming to make the

festival financially sound and we’re workinghard at this because we know how much ittruly means to people.“It’s more than a festival, it’s a place wherefamilies reunite and old friends catch up onold times. It’s a reflection of the past and a re-newed spirit for the future,” said Willitzer.In order to cover expenses, the Paulding

Chamber Board has decided to ask for corpo-rate sponsorships, raise camping fees to $15per night, and ask that flea and craft vendorspay an electric fee of $15 extra for the entire

weekend. All other vendor fees will remain thesame. Every food vendor will be treatedequally and will pay 10 percent of their netprofits and that contribution to the festival isthe same as last year. We’re hoping by makingsmall changes, we’ll be able to cover the costand have an operational budget that covers allof expenses in 2014.So what will you find when you attend the

Flat Rock Creek Festival this year? You’ll begetting the same spirited experience, you’vegrown to love over the years. All the entertain-ment has been booked and your favorites willbe returning. Spike and Bulldogs, Spittin’Image, Stockdale Band and more will all beback to set the mood at the festival, and whenit comes to exhibitors, the tractor pulls andhorse pulls are also confirmed to attend.The Paulding Chamber Board encourages

questions and you can always contact execu-tive director, Erika Willitzer via email: [email protected]. The ChamberBoard looks forward to taking on the festivaland we hope the public understands that thisis our first year managing the festival, so a lit-tle patience and understanding would begreatly appreciated by all the vendors,campers, and attendees that have made FlatRock Creek Festival a tradition for years.You may also talk to any Paulding Chamber

Board Member: officers – president MarshaYeutter, vice president Tyson Mowery, finan-cial director Dianne Jones, secretary SonyaHerber; directors ~ Brenda Wieland, HarveyHyman, Ruben Gill, Reta Ptak, Greg White,Susan Pieper, Anne Thomas, Cassie Jo Arendand Kim Tracy.

QUESTION: Our family en-joys laughing together.Sometimes this includes pok-ing fun at each other. Do youthink there’s a problem withthis kind of humor?

JIM: Your family humordynamics sound like those ofthe Daly household, but they’renot necessarily for everyone.Everything depends on yourdistinctive family “culture.” Because you are intercon-

nected in ways unlike any othergroup of people, you take cer-tain things for granted andknow things about one anotherthat no one else can know. You have a common lan-

guage. If it’s understood thatteasing is part of that, then youprobably can’t eliminate itwithout damaging your abilityto connect.Tone and motives are also

important factors to consider.Are the jokes and stories de-signed to hurt or embarrasssomeone? Or are they meant toexpress affection and appreci-ation? The real litmus testshould be the reaction of theone who’s getting “roasted”and whether or not they thinkit’s funny.It really boils down to two

basic principles.1. Never sacrifice respect for

humor. There are jokes that de-mean and jokes that can pre-serve the self-esteem of familymembers. Make sure everyoneunderstands the difference.2. Whatever happens, make

sure that every person in yourfamily feels that home is a safeplace to be. If humor comesacross as threatening, commu-nication will cease. This cancause all kinds of negative fall-out. In this case, Mom and Dadneed to dig deeper and find outwhat else is going on. There’s an old saying that

“many a truth is spoken injest.” But when teasing be-

comes a way of rubbing saltinto open wounds, it’s time forpeople to put all joking asideand to air genuine grievancesin open and honest dialogue.QUESTION: I’m newlymarried and have been sur-prised and disturbed by theamount of conflict we’ve ex-perienced in our relationship.This rarely happened whenwe were dating. Is somethingwrong?

DR. GREG SMALLEY,executive director of marriageand family formation: The firstthing that’s important to under-stand is that conflict is in-evitable and unavoidable inany relationship even those ofmarriage “experts.” Conflictisn’t always a bad thing. In fact,when handled with a respect-ful, nonabusive spirit, it canlead to a stronger, more satisfy-ing marriage. If you want to re-solve conflicts effectively,commit to confronting issuesas soon as they arise. Simplysuppressing your differences isnot an effective way of dealingwith the problem. The longer adisagreement stews, the biggerit becomes.Once you’ve initiated a dis-

cussion, be sure to communi-cate your concerns clearly andspecifically. Avoid generaliza-tions, ambiguities and ab-solutes. Using words like“never” or “always” to de-scribe your spouse’s undesiredbehavior are rarely accurateand usually produce a defen-sive response. Try sayingsomething like, “It frustratesme when you don’t take thetrash out on Mondays,” ratherthan, “You never do what yousay you’re going to do.”Along these lines, remember

that it’s important to use “I”rather than “you” statements.For example, “I feel hurt whenyou don’t follow through” ver-sus “You’re so irresponsible.”

‘Winning the Battle for a Generation’By Rick Jones

“Who has God called you to love?” BeckyO’Connell has been given a unique unofficialtitle, “The Baby Whisperer.” Officially, the65-year-old widow is a temporary foster careworker. According to a2013 article in the Chicago Tribune, “Shekeeps baby clothes arranged by size in theguest room. The hand-knit caps are stacked ona table near the door. And the white wickerbassinet is always within reach.” Becky O’Connell is prepared because at any

moment of the day or night she could receivea call from a social worker who needs to placean infant in her care. Some ofthe children have been abandoned. Othershave been abused. All of them are desperatefor love, for touch, and for attention. So far Ms. O’Connell has taken in 77 infants,or about seven babies per year, that stay fromone night to four months.The road to this unique call wasn’t easy. In

1999 her youngest son, Ian, was killed in a caraccident. “For years and years after (hisdeath), I couldn’t concentrate,” she says. “I

looked and acted like a normal person, but youdon’t feel like a normal person.” A few years later, as she was just beginning

to regain her balance, she read an ad from alocal adoption agency. They needed someoneto be a temporary foster parent for newborns.To O’Connell, who had always loved babies,it sounded like a dream job.If she has a secret, she says, it is simply giv-

ing each child her undivided attention. Sheadds, “People think that babies bring a lot ofdisorder and confusion to a household,” shesays. “But I’m here to tell you it’s not the ba-bies who are disordered and confused. It’s theadults.”O’Connell simply says, “My job is to fall in

love with these babies.”O’Connell’s passion to love these aban-

doned, abused babies brings to mind the wordsof Jesus, “Love your enemies and to love oneanother.” Who has God called you to love?For more information about the work of

Youth for Christ, you may contact Youth forChrist at 419-782-0656, P.O. Box 111, 210Clinton Street, Defiance, Ohio 43512, oremail to: [email protected]

In other words, be careful to at-tack the problem, not the per-son.Stick with the issue at hand

and resist the temptation tosupport your argument by gen-eralizing or following rabbittrails. Work hard to understandyour partner’s point of view,and be sure to keep your dis-cussion private.After you’ve expressed your

viewpoints and reached an un-derstanding, share your needsand decide where to go fromthere. Be willing to ask for-giveness, and always remem-ber that maintaining therelationship is more importantthan winning the argument.Finding a solution that benefitsboth spouses lets everybodywin.

‘Praise the Lord’There was a little old lady

who was very spiritual whowould step out on her porch

every day, raise her arms tothe sky and yell, “Praise theLord.”

One day, an atheist boughtthe house next door to her, andhe became very irritated withthe spiritual lady. So after amonth or so of her yelling,“Praise the Lord” from herporch, he would go outside onhis porch and yelled back,“There is no Lord.”

Yet, the little old lady con-tinued. One cold, wintryday, when the little old ladycouldn’t get to the store, shewent out on her porch,raised her hands up to the skyand said, “Help me Lord, Ihave no more money, it’scold, and I have no morefood.”

The next morning, she wentoutside, and there were bagsof food on the porch, enoughto last her a week. “Praise theLord,” she yelled.The atheist stepped out fromthe bushes and said, “There isno Lord, ha ha ha, I boughtthose groceries!”

(Hold on the ending is verygood!).The little old lady raised

her arms to the sky and said,“Praise the Lord, You sent megroceries and you made theDevil pay for them!”

Randy Ruge announced thata legal bid was announced forMRI imaging services.Siemens is the recommendedvendor with an “open bore”unit with a 1.5 Tesla magnet.This MRI will have an open-ing of 70 centimeters, in com-parison; an open MRI has anopening that is approximately45 centimeters. The new“open bore” technology al-lows for a larger opening andat the same time, has a mag-net that is 50 percent strongerthan most open MRIs. Thelarger magnet results in betterdiagnostic images. Ruge presented a purchase

request for Nuclear MedicineServices. The recommendedvendor is also Siemens,which will provide for on-sitetesting and will put Pauld-ing’s equipment on par withthe equipment used at bothLutheran and Parkview Hos-pital. This equipment will re-duce total body scan time by50 percent and cardiolytetime by 35 percent.

Ruge presented a third pur-chase request for an anklebrachial index, from SenecaMedical. This will help iden-tify peripheral artery diseasewhen there are differencesbetween the blood pressurevalues of the arm and theankle. The cost of this deviceis $7,216.Ruge also reported that the

Genealogists learn about once-famous mineral springs, spa near WoodburnPAULDING – The Pauld-

ing County Chapter of OhioGenealogical Society meet-ing was held April 10.Members were reminded ofplans for a “potluck style”picnic and Riverside Ceme-tery walk at 6 p.m. Wednes-day, June 12 in Antwerp’sVeterans Riverside Park.

The evening programconsisted of ACRES LandTrust representative, Jill(Rood) Nolls, who ex-plained who they are, whatthey do and where they arelocated. At this time, theironly preserve in Ohio is FlatRock in Paulding County.

Recently ACRES reachedanother milestone: preserv-ing their 5,000th acre ofland. The acquisition of the87-acre Blue Cast SpringsNature Preserve in AllenCounty, Ind. increased itsholdings to 5,046 acres.

Blue Cast Springs, lo-cated about two miles northof Woodburn, contains deepravines, over 3,000 feet ofMaumee River frontage, ac-tive blue heron nests andmature hardwood forests. Itis part of the historic BlackSwamp wetlands extendingfrom Allen County all theway to Lake Erie.

The name “Blue Cast”came from the bluish col-ored mineral spring locatednear the Maumee River. Ev-idence showed a uniquemagnetic force not typical

of mineral water. Folks de-scribed the drinking waterqualities as an invigoratingtonic with metabolic proper-ties.

Another spring to thesouth was found to producesulfur water and mud, whichspawned another business,this one to attract peoplelooking for benefits of ther-apeutic baths.

In 1902, Henry Schnelker,New Haven, purchasedthese 87 acres of land. Hebuilt a reservoir holdingabout 5,000 gallons of thisnow-popular beverage, col-lecting the mineral springwater 24 hours a day. Pro-ducing over 100 cases a day,Schnelker’s blue and yellowlabel was seen throughoutthe United States andaround the world. Bold let-ters proclaiming “Blue CastMineral Water” surroundedan illustration of the “FireProof Sanitarium.” Six fluidounce bottles were de-scribed as being “Carbon-ated and Bottled at theSprings,” coming from “theBlue Cast Company, Wood-burn, Indiana.”

Schnelker sold theacreage to A.C. Hogue ofToledo in 1912. Hoguemoved his family into thelarge farmhouse located onthis land. After opening thesanitarium for business in1913, Hogue expanded theBlue Cast Mineral Water

bottling business, finding abuyer in 1926. SeveralCleveland businessmenbought the company fromHogue, but closed it in1955.

A.C. Hogue used theground’s sand and gravel tobuild the sanitarium, madeof cement and steel. A largelobby and dining room,modern kitchen and twosmall lounge rooms on thefirst floor, with 16 bedroomson the second floor made upthe facility. After a secondclosure, the building stoodvacant, area youth imaginedthis place to be haunted andit suffered the consequencesof vandalism.

During Prohibition days,the sanitarium was said tobe used as a “speak easy”and rumors circulated thatAl Capone frequented thisplace. In 1939, the sheriff’sdepartment arrested 42 peo-ple aged 15 through 26.Gradually, all evidence ofthe sanitarium had disap-peared, other than the foot-print of the old cementfoundation.

While there is no otherspring of this nature in Indi-ana, Blue Cast MagneticSprings gave to AllenCounty a reputation for thebest of natural and properlyamplified facilities for thesuccessful treatment ofmany ills. The renewal pow-ers of the water at Blue Cast

Springs became known as aleading health mecca of theMidwest.

Iron or steel, when im-mersed in this water, wouldbecome magnetized. TheBlue Cast Spring has beenendowed by nature with a pe-culiar magnetic force rarelyfound in any mineral water ofany kind the world over. ThusIndiana could claim waters ofmedicinal value at Blue CastMagnetic Springs.

Anonymous notes told ofdark moving shadows, redglowing orbs, cold spotswith shouting and otherstrange noises. Other notedexperiences at the rundown

sanitarium: “The foyer,stairway, bathrooms andgutted out patients rooms onthe second floor were mar-ble. Ruins in the first floorwere in sad shape in the’60s. Felt being watched, areal uneasy feeling. Whenthe crickets stopped chirp-ing, I got out of therequick!” (excerpts from ThePictorial History of FortWayne Indiana by BertJoseph Griswold and Mrs.Samuel R. Taylor).

A couple of OGS mem-bers recalled Clark Gablestayed in this place and RitaHayworth’s rumored staywas never confirmed.

The next public meetingwill be at 6:30 p.m. Wednes-day, May 8 at the PauldingCounty Carnegie Librarylower level meeting room.

A spa built at Blue Cast Springs just north of Woodburn reportedly drew such visitors as AlCapone, Clark Gable and Rita Hayworth.
