By: Lovina Eichermy daughters, Susan, 17, andVerena, 15, and I cleaned anAmish ladys house. It was a

pretty big house. It had four rooms and a bathroom up-stairs and three bedroomsdownstairs.

The six of us washed all thewalls, ceilings, windows andsome furniture in the wholehouse. We were tired whenwe finished, but was glad tohelp her out. Her healthhasnt been the best and sherecently had a hospital stay.She fixed lunch for us, whichwas delicious! We had

packed our lunch, but her hotmeal tasted a lot better thanour cold sandwiches.

My neck was sore the nextday from all the overheadwashing. The wall mops areso much easier than when we

would have to use a steplad-der and wash the walls andceiling with rags.

We are still having toma-toes, but they are the greenones that we picked and areletting them ripen. The tasteisnt as good as when they are

picked red from the garden.Applesauce is being

canned by a lot of women inthe community. I still have

plenty, so I didnt need to canany. Although we are enjoy-ing apples for fresh eating.

We awoke to a world fullof snow flurries. The flakeswere big and flaky, but noneof it stuck to the ground. Itwas enough to get the chil-dren excited about winter weather, especially sledding.

My husband, Joe, startedour coal stove which helpskeep the house cozy on thesecold mornings. A few morn-ings weve had temperaturesin the upper 20s. Leaves areemptying off the trees fast.What colorful scenes painted

by our Master Artist.The sun hasnt been out too

much this week. It seems thesolar freezer is still keepingcharged enough though.

This colder weather hasmade the deer move aroundmore. Timothy and Mose (thegirls special friends) have

both been lucky and each hasshot a deer with their com- pound bows this month. Ben- jamin, 14, and Joseph, 11,take turns going with Joewhen he goes crossbow hunt-ing for deer.

Next week the first nineweeks of school is over.Teacher conferences are al-ready being scheduled.Where has the time gone sofast?

Last week one day, sister Emma and her two daughters,

Such a healthy snack.With the colder weather

winter coats are being pulledout of the closets. Beforelong, also snowpants, mittensand scarves. It gets darker earlier at night so our

evenings seem to come ear-lier.I tried this meatball recipe

this week. Everyone seemedto like it. I thought it was easyto make. I made spaghetti toalong with them. A blessedautumn to all!

In TheGarden

Its the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown pumpkin would be disquali-fied. Even having a crack would eliminate a pumpkinfrom competition. So, mov-ing these big boys can be a te-dious process.

This years winner wasgrown by Tim and SusanMathison from California andweighed in at a whopping2,032 pounds. That set a newworld record, beating the pre-vious one set just last year bya grower from Rhode Island,which weighed 2,009 pounds.Each years winner is thentaken to the New York Botan-

ical Garden where it is on display for a few weeks.Even if you dont want to

get into growing the worldslargest pumpkin, growing bigones can be fun to do. Just getsome giant seeds, Dills At-lantic Giant are readily avail-able, and see what happens.One tip, pumpkins are heavyfeeders so dont forget to use

plenty of compost and fertil-izer.

Who knows, maybe TheGreat Pumpkin will rise fromyour pumpkin patch nextHalloween.

isnt even about linear size.Its all about weight.

Competitive growers work

most of the year on some as- pect of their obsession (andthats what it is), whether it bein amending the soil, re-searching seeds, or tendingearly-started seedlings. Thereare pumpkin clubs and theymeet regularly to discuss this

pumpkin-growing business.But, for all the rivalry that ex-ists among the growers, theyhelp each other, too. Every-one wants to see the pump-kins grow even larger, soknowledge is shared.

Competitions are held inOct. and the weighing

process isnt easy. One of the biggest challenges is trans- porting the large pumpkins toa weighing station. When a

pumpkin is that large, theresalways a danger of breakingit open, in which case, the

Halloween is now behindus, but Thanksgiving loomslarge and so do the pumpkins.Everywhere you look, yousee the orange orbs, on frontporches, in the groceries, andsome are still sitting in thepumpkin patch.

But, not all are carved asJack-o-Lanterns. Not all willend up on your plate in a fewweeks. (Mmm...pie!) Someare grown just for the sheer joy and competition of grow-ing them. Im talking aboutthe quest for the largestpumpkin ever grown.

This is serious businessamong those who grow thegiants. There are seeds calledDills Atlantic Giant, Silver Bullet, and some are a num-ber indicating size (inpounds) coupled with thename of the grower. For ex-ample, 1725 Harp seeds areseeds from a pumpkin thatChristy Harp of Massillon,Ohio, grew to a record 1,725pounds to win the competi-tion in 2009.

Pumpkins weighing in withnumbers like 1,500 or morepounds arent your nice,round, vibrant orange pump-kins. When one gets to be thatsize, gravity does a number on it and it starts looking likea tired Sumo wrestler. But,competitive pumpkin grow-ing isnt about appearances. It

Court buildings to light upwith new updated bulbs

By JIM LANGHAMFeature Writer

PAULDING Paulding County commission-

ers have authorized installation of new fixturesand updated light bulbs in court facilities that isexpected to save county taxpayers significantlyin lighting expense after five years.

Commissioners have authorized installation inboth the courthouse and county court building.According to Commissioner Chairman FredPieper, since the project has been authorized be-fore Dec. 15 of this year, there will be an AEPrebate of $844 for the county court and $6,300for the Paulding County Courthouse.

Right now we have old style fluorescentbulbs, 4 by 8 feet, known as T-12 bulbs, saidPieper. They are no longer being made; the gov-ernment is phasing them out.

Our maintenance guy submitted a bulb re-quest to a bulb supplier to purchase a bunch of those bulbs, continued Pieper. We told him to

hold out on the order because we planned to re-place the bulbs. With knowledge of the rebate,we decided that rather than stock up on bulbs thatwerent being made anymore, it would be better

to replace our fixtures and upgrade.The process would include installation of new

fixtures to house the modernization of bulbs.

Pieper said that the contractor estimated thatafter three years, cost of installation in the countycourt would pay for itself, just in the smaller amount of electricity being used. It was esti-mated that the same would be true for the Pauld-ing County Courthouse 5.2 years after installation.

After that, the savings for the tax payers willreally be significant, said Pieper.

The cost of installing the new system into thecounty court, minus rebate, is $2,827. In thePaulding County Courthouse, cost, minus rebate,is $31,798.

Pieper said that due to changed fixture sizes,there would be some touch-up painting requiredfollowing installation. The commissioner notedthat following installation, officials are planningon authorizing painting in the courthouse.

Its been 17 years since weve last done any-thing like that, commented Pieper. We aredoing all that we can to maintain this facility andkeep up with it.

Open house tobe held for dog kennel Nov. 9Dear Editor,

I personally invite you toan open house on Saturday,

Nov. 9, at the PauldingCounty Sheriffs Office DogKennel, located on US 127

just north of the Village of Paulding.

Dog Warden Deputy Mark Rassman and his assistant,Deputy Brandon Shuherk,have done a remarkable jobof operating the kennel sinceit has been under my watch,which was effective July 1,2013, and I would like thecommunity to tour the facil-ity.

It is amazing to me howmany folks in our commu-nity, and surrounding com-munities, have cometogether for the best interestof the dogs brought into thekennel on a daily basis.

Deputy Rassman is over-seeing a top-notch operationat the kennel, which I havegotten much praise from the

public. I think it is importantto turn the focus where itshould be and congratulatehim on a job well done! Ithink its safe to say he

couldnt do it without thehelp of Deputy Shuherk andthe volunteers that come for-ward every day.

Please stop at the kennelfrom 1-4 p.m. Nov. 9, andsay hello to Deputy Mark Rassman. Take a tour of thefacility and maybe even takehome a new addition to your family.

An inside view of ALCO closing Dear Editor,

As most, if not all, of thearea residents know, ALCODepartment Store is closing.

After three years of employ-ment, I got to know not onlythe employees (saw a lotcome and go), but I alsohave had the opportunity tomeet and greet a lot of reallyneat and interesting cus-tomers.

Customers rely on per-sonal service and being com-fortable with the employee.

Now this is all shattered bythe announcement that, Thestores performance does notmeet our financial require-ments. Really, really, wewere all told that the storelooked beautiful and that thestore was making money.But not enough to suit cor-

porate, which by the way isin Kansas. They, I mean cor-

porate, say they valued theopportunity to be a part of this community, but never set foot in the store. To cor-

porate, we are store No. 285.People have learned to

rely on the products wecarry, lawn and garden, toclothing. But what has hurtthis store, I felt, was the factthat it never truly met theneeds of the customer as awhole. Examples: having

products that customers willnot purchase, not carryingthings that would sell, over-

purchase of food or lawn-

Teachers offer appreciationDear Editor,

Friends of theLibrary auctionis successfulDear Editor,

Friends of the PauldingCounty Carnegie Librarywould like to acknowledgethose responsible for makingthe open house silent artauction a huge success. Our members would like to espe-cially thank the artists whodonated their amazing art-work.

The Friends group appre-ciates all those who pur-chased items.

garden items such as plantsor flowers. These productsended up in the dumpster. Iwould love to find the fig-ures, dollar amount, that wasthrown away. That was acorporate decision, not our local stores. So, I say to cor-

porate, That does not meetour financial requirement.

The article (Pauldings ALCO to close its doors, Progress, Oct. 23) mentions,The Paulding store man-ager declined to commentand directed any questions tocorporate headquarters.Well, yes, he does not wantto lose his job. He is a won-derful manager to work for,not only a hard worker, hewill not ask you to do some-thing if he is not willing todo it himself. A family manwho understands that every-one has family events or functions that require adjust-ments in scheduling.

He, as well as the other 10employees, deserve a lot bet-ter than what they have beendealt. I doubt seriously if any employee here willmove to take a part-time po-sition at another store for

barely over minimum wage.That is not meeting their fi-nancial requirements.

For [Ricardo] Clemente,

[ALCO senior VP for storeoperations] to make com-ments about this stores em-

ployees, in a tone like heknows us, is disgusting. Thisis just an example of how thiscountrys corporate ladder has

been propped, the rungs of theladder are slippery and full of crap.

As our closing date getscloser, I ask you, the shopper,

please take the time and saythank you to our employeesfor their service to the com-munity. They have always

been there to serve you, all 12

of us. Thank you.Mark Holtsberryservice maintenance worker

Lets serve our veterans as well asthey have served us

By Daniel M. DellingerDuring the recent government shutdown many numbers

were thrown around. But there is one number that stands out

and it has nothing to do with the debate over the federal budget.More than one a day. That is how many members of our

active-duty military, National Guard and Reserve forces havecommitted suicide over the last year. Simply put, we are los-ing more servicemembers by their own hands than we are bythe enemy in Afghanistan.

Only those who experienced firsthand the horrors of com- bat can understand why most of these young men andwomen feel compelled to take such drastic and permanentmeasures.

As Veterans Day ceremonies and parades occur throughoutthe country, it is important that we commit ourselves to doeverything possible to prevent these needless and tragicdeaths.

We are their friends, their family, their co-workers andtheir neighbors. It is up to us to ensure that every veteranfeels that his or her service to this country is appreciated by

their fellow Americans. There are many tangible ways thatwe can acknowledge their sacrifice, but the easiest is to simply say, Thank you for what you have done for our coun-try.

If he is showing signs of unhappiness or depression, en-courage him to seek help through the VA immediately. If shehas had difficulty obtaining the benefits that she is entitledto, let her know that The American Legion has thousands of trained service officers nationwide that will help her navigatethe bureaucracy free of charge.

And if that veteran has made the Supreme Sacrifice, re-member the price that has been paid for our freedom andoffer your support to the loved ones left behind.

But Veterans Day is a time to honor not just those whohave fought for us in battle, but, in fact, all of the outstandingmen and women who served in our nations Armed Forcessince our founding more than 237 years ago.

Not all veterans have seen war, but a common bond that

they share is an oath in which they expressed their willing-ness to die defending this nation.Perhaps most significant in preserving our way of life are

the battles that America does not have to fight because thosewho wish us harm slink away in fear of the Navy aircraft car-rier, the Coast Guard cutter, the Air Force fighter squadron or the Army soldier on patrol. Or they have heard the wordsthat recently retired General James Mattis shared with hisMarines: Be polite. Be professional. But have a plan to killeverybody you meet.

While we should all be grateful for the remarkable ad-vancements made in military medicine and prosthetics, thefighting spirit and inspirational stories of our veterans are notdue to technology.

These traits come from the heart.And many of these veterans are women, such as Army

Chief Warrant Officer Lori Hill. While piloting her helicop-ter over Iraq in 2006, she maneuvered her chopper to draw

enemy gunfire away from another helicopter and providesuppressive fire for troops on the ground. Despite flying adamaged aircraft and suffering injuries, she landed the heli-copter safely, saving her crew. For her actions, she becamethe first woman to receive the Distinguished Flying Cross.

Women are major contributors to our military presence inAfghanistan and many have given their lives in the War onTerrorism. The American Legion recently issued a reportcalling upon VA to improve its response to the unique needsof women veterans. The VA and military health systems needto adequately treat breast and cervical cancer as well astrauma that resulted from domestic violence, sexual harass-ment and assault. America is home to more than 1.2 millionwomen veterans and they deserve our support.

In the poem Tommy, the great writer Rudyard Kiplinglamented over the rude treatment a British soldier received ata pub. Writing in classical old English, Kipling compared theabuse with the more favorable treatment that Tommy re-

ceives by the public during war. For its Tommy this, an Tommy that, an Chuck him out, thebrute!

But its Savior of is country when the guns begin to shoot; An its Tommy this, an Tommy that, an anything you please; An Tommy aint a bloomin fool you bet that Tommy sees!

Let us always treat our 23 million veterans as the saviorsof our country that they are. Even when the guns are nolonger shooting.

Daniel M. Dellinger is national commander of the 2.4 mil-lion-member American Legion.

Rep. Burkley announces House passageof his bill addressing wildlife, motorists

COLUMBUS State Rep-resentative Tony Burkley (R-Payne) announced Oct. 30 thatHouse Bill 199 had passed outof the Ohio House.

The bill allows drivers whohave hit and killed a wildturkey, wild boar or feral hog totake and keep the animal.

Much like the procedure of taking possession of deer, oncethe animal is struck and killedby the motor vehicle, the driver has 24 hours to report the acci-dent to a wildlife officer or other law enforcement. The of-ficer will then investigate andissue a certificate for legalownership.

House Bill 199 also addsferal hogs to the game list,placing them under the same

definition as animals like cot-tontail rabbits, white-taileddeer, wild boar, black bears andseveral types of squirrel.

As a legislator with a heav-ily rural population, we feel theneed to extend this to include

these further species. There areconstituents throughout Ohio,who once they unfortunatelykill a deer on our roads, theycan take possession and prop-erly process the animal for con-sumption, said Burkley, who

jointly sponsored the legisla-tion with Rep. Bob Hackett (R-London).

HB 199 will now be sent tothe Ohio Senate for further consideration.

A Penny ForYour Thoughts....

B : Nanc Whitaker

WELL SEASONEDAs the seasons pass, I see

beauty and joy in all of them.Each season brings some-thing to admire and look for-ward to. There is the heat of the summer, the glorious col-ors of fall, new fallen snow inwinter and a rebirth of life inspring.

One of my favorite times of year is fall. It is now in fullswing with color adorning theleaves on the trees, farmers inthe fields harvesting cropsand orange pumpkins on thevines. Red juicy apples are inthe markets along with applecider and sweet cinnamon

sticks.The other night we were onour way home and it wasdark. However, we could seefarmers in the field with their tractor lights on, busily gath-ering in their harvest. Justseeing those farmers in thefields late at night, made mefeel blessed, secure andhappy to know that these ef-

forts of the farmers help feedAmerica.

With winter approachingand possibly some cold, bleak weather ahead, just think of how warm and comforting itis to see the snow flakes falland curl up with some warmhot chocolate and a good

book. I love these kind of days.

By the time winter is over,we all get what is known asspring fever. After the in-door comforts of winter andkeeping warm during coldweather, it is hard to wait toget outside and plant gardens,see that first robin and expe-

rience the first signs of newgrowth and rebirth.Oh, the glory of summer.

We get to take a vacation,spend days at the beach, grillhamburgers outside and thekids are home for their sum-mer break.

When summer begins toend, we see kids thinking of school supplies, school

clothes and books. They areexcited to return to school

and see who their teacher isgoing to be.

Then back around in thatfull circle comes fall. We arefortunate to live and experi-ence having all four seasons.

I cant blame the peoplewho take off to Florida for those cold winter months, but

personally, I like all kinds of weather and each season itrepresents. I guess I like liv-ing, working and playing inthe Buckeye State.

A quote by Henry Bestonsums up the fall season, Theleaves fall, the wind blows,

and the farm country slowlychanges from the summer cot-tons into its winter woods. Weare getting ready for thosewinter woods.

What is your favorite seasonof the year? Do you like allfour seasons? If you could skipone which one would it be? Letme know and Ill give you aPenny for Your Thoughts.

Farmers beware Palmer amaranthBy Mark HoltsberryEducation specialist

Paulding SWCDA fast growing super weed that has de-

stroyed soybean and cotton fields in southernstates is popping up in Ohio alarming re-searchers and agriculture groups who fear itsspread. Its called Palmer amaranth andcommonly used herbicides have no effect onthis weed.

Infestations in Scioto County last year andin Fayette County this year have researchersin Indiana and Tennessee concerned as well asthe Ohio Soybean Council. More than 3,000soybean farmers and agriculture firms have

been sent letters and DVDs to warn them of this invasive weed. It is very impossible to es-timate the effect it could have on Ohio agri-culture. OSU Extension Agent Mark Loux isasking farmers to send samples of suspectweeds to his office.

Roundup and other glyphosate herbicidesused to kill any plant, including Palmer ama-ranth. But, somewhere along the line, Palmer amaranth developed its own resistance toRoundup and developed into a super weed thatRoundup cant touch. The result is farm fieldswhere nothing but corn, cotton or soybeansgrow, along with Palmer amaranth.

With a growth rate as much as three inches per day, the weed steals nutrients and shadesout shorter crops. It competes well with corn,too.

New plants sprout from April through Au-gust. This can double or triple herbicide costs

because farmers must keep spraying new plants. A field infested can lose 80 percent of corn plants. In southern states, some farmershave lost entire fields, even plowing themunder in attempts to kill the weed.

Known ways of how this is spreading in-clude harvesting equipment the seed ismixed in with soybeans or corn and shippedinto other states. Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky,Illinois and Pennsylvania now have confirmedcases.

In many cases, the seed, which is very tiny,gets shipped across state lines, gets mixed inwith the other grains which are used for cattlefeed. Then the cattle passes the seed throughtheir digestive tracts, then manure is spread onfields for fertilization.

In other cases, Palmer amaranth seeds maketheir way into prairie grass seed mixes thatOhio farmers planted in conservation areasand buffer strips meant to separate crops fromstreams and ditches.

Samples and reports have come from fieldsin Clark, Clinton, Mercer, Van Wert, Unionand Tuscarawas counties. These findings wereisolated and the weeds had yet to produceseeds. Ohio has yet to see the bigger infesta-

tions reported in northwestern Indiana andsoutheastern Michigan. For the farmer, morechallenges to provide a quality product, butthey always endure.

Cold weather increasesdanger of carbon monoxide

COLUMBUSThe OhioDepartment of Health (ODH)and the state fire marshal isreminding Ohioans to be cau-tious when heating their homes during the comingcold weather season.

The warning comes fol-lowing reports of a statewideincrease in emergency depart-ment visits and calls to poisoncontrol centers by Ohioansover the past 10 days for car-

bon monoxide exposure.The spike in carbon

monoxide exposure is an in-dication that colder tempera-tures are beginning to takehold, said ODH Director Ted Wymyslo, M.D.Ohioans need to know thewarning signs of CO poison-ing and should seek immedi-ate medical attention if theysuspect CO contact.

According to surveillanceexperts at the state health de-

partment, the upward trendfor this time of the season ishigher than usual comparedto previous years. While there

is no single reason identifiedfor the rise in CO exposure,firing up the furnace for thefirst time in colder weather, aswell as the increased use of generators and portable heat-ing devices, are among thetop causes of CO poisoning.

Carbon monoxide is a col-orless, odorless gas that cankill without warning, saidState Fire Marshal LarryFlowers. As the weather be-gins to turn colder, the risksassociated with heating your home increases the likelihoodof such an accident. We im-

plore everyone to have their furnaces inspected annuallyand to
