PAULDING – A budget

dispute earlier this year be-

tween the sheriff and the

county commissioners pro-

duced a lawsuit that was

eventually dismissed, but the

county still had to pay more

than $44,000 in legal and

other fees.

In April, Sheriff David I.

Harrow filed suit in Paulding

County Common Pleas Court

requesting a declaratory

judgment from the commis-

sioners. He alleged the

amount his office was bud-

geted for the year is resulting

in a $51,504 shortfall. The

suit was dismissed in a judg-

ment entry filed Aug. 31 fol-

lowing a one-day trial.

Payment records obtained

by the Progress from the

county auditor’s office shows

that the commissioners’ at-

torney, Don Theis of the law

firm Baran, Piper,

Tarskowsky, Fitzgerald and

Theis of Toledo, has been

paid a total of $24,879.26 be-

tween June and October.

Harrow’s attorney, W.

Prentice Snow of the law

firm of Morrow and Erhard

in Newark, Ohio, has been

paid a total of $17,988.72 be-

tween July and October.

In addition, a court reporter

received $1,009 for her work

on the case.

Also, visiting Judge

Randall Basinger, who

presided in the case, was paid

a total of $160.

The grand total for all ex-

penses: $44,036.98.

There are no additional

outstanding bills to be paid.

After the lawsuit was dis-

missed, Harrow commented:

“People thought this was

about the over a $50,000 re-

duction in my budget. That

wasn’t the issue. The real

issue was that the county

commissioners reduced their

general fund budget from

2009 to 2010 by $300,000,

but $200,000 was out of my

budget.”

For many, the coming of

Thanksgiving initiates the special time

of giving for the Christmas season. Each

year the crunch gets harder on families

as they battle record unemployment and

a floundering economy. According to a

national report, this year it will put stress

on families to have a Merry Christmas.

According to Judi Short of Paulding

County Job and Family Services, the

agency assisted 311 families and 643

children last year.

“I already have 231 families signed up

and it is still early,” said Short.

Short noted that Paulding County

families and individuals who need assis-

tance at Christmas, and individuals and

groups who wish to sponsor those in

need, may contact the Paulding County

Department of Job and Family Services

at 419-399-3756, ext. 324, to leave a

voice mail or request a form.

“You may also make new toy dona-

tions or sponsor a family in need. You

can bring your donations into Job and

Family Services.”

Numerous projects are going on in our

county this year. Please give generously

to make the holidays a brighter season

for all.

OAKWOOD – Oakwood Village

Council met in regular session on

Nov. 22 with five council members

present. Councilman Todd Dangler

was absent.

Marsha Yeutter, director of the

Paulding County Senior Center, intro-

duced council to the center’s plans to

open a satellite senior center in

Oakwood. The purpose of the expan-

sion to the Oakwood location is to ex-

pand meals and socialization to senior

consumers living in the eastern side of

Paulding County and in the western

edge of Putnam County.

Yeutter told council that Oakwood

was the satellite village of choice be-

cause it was centrally located for con-

sumers to come from Oakwood,

Grover Hill, Melrose, Five Span and

even Dupont and Continental, as the

center would not have county lines as

boundaries.

Yeutter told council that the meals

would be prepared in the Paulding

kitchen and then transported to

Oakwood in heated containers to be

served as a lunchtime meal.

Yeutter explained that they had

picked the Oakwood fire station and

the Twin Oaks United Methodist

Church as possible locations for

Oakwood senior center activities,

which would include three meals per

In this Season of Giving“Please take the opportunity to give and share to ensure that

everyone in Paulding County has a blessed Christmas.”

Mitten TreeThe Paulding County Carnegie

Library will be sponsoring its annual

Mitten/Scarf Tree.

People can place new hats, scarves or gloves on

the tree, and they will be distributed throughout

the county. The tree will stay up as long as is nec-

essary.

Library director Susan Pieper noted that this

year the library will be a drop-off point for

items for the food pantry. The food pantry is

in need of personal hygiene products

such as toiletries and paper products.

Angel TreeOnce again, the Angel Tree will

be a very special part of Christmas at

ALCO Department Store.

The tree will have names of children on it;

along with the child’s name, there will be a list

on the back with suggestions for that child for

Christmas.

The Angel Tree is in its ninth year. Last year

there were approximately 76 names on the tree.

People have the opportunity to pick a name off

the tree and purchase a gift for that child.

Gifts can be donated to ALCO either

wrapped or unwrapped. Job and

Family Services will distribute

them to the families.

ChristmasElf Project

The Twin Oaks Church along with the

Oakwood Post Office, will be sponsoring the

Christmas Elf Project again this year. This is similar to

the Angel Tree. This year, trees are going to be placed in

The State Bank, the library and at the Twin Oaks Church of

Oakwood, and will remain until after the holidays. The trees

were to be in place by Nov. 23. The project, which is in its 15th

year, will contain requests from individuals in the Oakwood mail-

ing area who are in need.

Those who wish to participate can take as many tags as desired,

purchase gifts, wrap them, and bring to the church located at 200

E. Harmon St. The church is open from 9 a.m.-1 p.m., Monday

through Friday. You can also drop them off at the library

tions that have been collected in jars at ALCO Department Store

will be combined with donations through radio station Mix 98.1’s

Christmas for Kids program.

The police department contacts the school and Job and Family

Services before deciding on a list of families to contact for this project,

according to Crawford.

At least half of each child’s money must be spent on clothing. Any

money left over is given to families as gift certificates to Chief

Supermarket.

“We would be happy to receive any donations to help

more kids. We don’t want anyone left out.” Officers willtake the kids shopping, but a date has not yet been set.

A Child of MineI will lend you, for a little time,

A child of Mine, he said.For you to love the while he lives,

And mourn for when he’s dead.It maybe six or seven years,

Or thirty-two or three.But will you till I call him back,

Take care of him for Me?He’ll bring his charms to gladden you,

And should his stay be brief,You have his lovely memories,

As solace for your grief.I cannot promise he will stay,

Since all from earth returnBut there are lessons taught down there,

I want this child to learn.I’ve looked this wide world over,

In my search for teachers trueAnd from the throngs that crowd life’s lanes,

I have selected you.Now will you give him all your love,

Nor think the labor vain.Nor hate me when I comeTo take him home again?

I fancied that I heard you say,Dear Lord, Thy will be done!

For all the joy Thy child shall bring,The risk of grief we’ll run.

We’ll shelter him with tenderness,We’ll love him while we may,

And for the happiness we’ve known,Forever grateful stay.

Bt should the angels call for himMuch sooner than we planned,

We’ll brave the bitter grief that comes,And try to understand.

Love you forever,Mom, Frank, Laura & Mick

The Amish CookBy: Lovina Eicher

It is hard to believe that

Thanksgiving is almost upon

us! Homemade pumpkin roll

is a dessert I always remem-

ber my Aunt Lovina (who I

was named after) making and

now it is something I enjoy

making. Thanksgiving would

not seem the same without

the turkey being stuffed with

dressing and pumpkin pie for

dessert. Joe likes his pump-

kin pie with a dab of ice

cream.

I hope everyone has a

blessed and enjoyable

Thanksgiving. Give these

recipes a try!

PUMPKIN PIE

1/2 cup pumpkin

4 egg yolks, beaten

1/2 teaspoon pumpkin spice

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 cup sugar

pinch of salt

2 tablespoons flour

1 pint of milk, scalded

4 egg whites

Preheat oven to 400°. In a

large bowl, mix pumpkin,

egg yolks, pumpkin pie

spice, vanilla, sugar, salt,

flour and milk together until

mixture is smooth in consis-

tency. Fold in egg whites last.

In My OpinionBeing thankfulfor our military

During my interviews with those who have served our

country, one of the most touching aspects has always been

their description of life at war during the holidays. On one

hand, they love to tell

about the big Thanksgiv-

ing and Christmas dinners

that were served in mess

halls and other gathering

places – ham, potatoes,

vegetable, pie, and all of

the trimmings, maybe

even some special treats on the side.

But none of that “stuff” could begin to replace the

heartache of being thousands of miles away from family

members during what was supposed to be one of the biggest

family days of the year.

“The food was good but our hearts ached,” said one vet-

eran.

“Some guys would get mail from home at that time and

others didn’t. You always felt bad for the ones that didn’t,”

said another.

“You kept thinking about how everyone was together

back home eating good food, laughing, and having a great

time. It was a big reminder of how far away you were and

lonely you felt,” said yet another.

As we approach Thanksgiving this week, there are many

hearts that are going to feel like that again, military person-

nel in Afghanistan, Iraq and other points away from Ameri-

can soil. And then there is the matter of empty chairs at

family gatherings, this side of the pain, families that are

gathered without the presence of their loved one away from

home.

The least we can do as Thanksgiving approaches is to:

• Pray for those whose hearts will be lonely.

• Contact the family of a one who is serving our country

and let them know how thankful we are for their sacrifice,

encourage them to pass on our message when they have

contact with their loved one.

• Support and get involved with Christmas giving ef-

forts to military personnel.

• Make long range plans as to how we can continue to

encourage those who are serving once the burst of holiday

giving is over.

Of course, similar expressions could be made to those

who are in nursing homes, hospitals and other unnatural sit-

uations during the special holiday, not to mention those who

are willing to work and serve the suffering as nurses, aides,

medical technicians and other giving professions.

Thanksgiving is that – giving. Let’s remember that as we

stuff ourselves with an overabundance of food, watch foot-

ball, and enjoy the luxuries of freedom this week. Some-

where, someone is suffering and lonely for our privileges ...

say a prayer and reach out.

Help those inneed this season

Happy Thanksgiving and welcome to the late fall season.

That is what some of us are saying as we plan for the holiday

seasons of Thanksgiving and Christmas. We think of lots of

good things to eat and drink as well as lots of good times to-

gether with family and friends.

NEWS FLASH: On the Saturday before Thanksgiving, the

Grover Hill Food Pantry pro-

vided food for 137 families

which consisted of 51 senior

citizens, 232 adults, and 171

children for a total of 454

people. These good people

came from all around Pauld-

ing County but most were

from the villages close to

Grover Hill. The price of gas is so high that some could barely

afford the gas.

Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas will not be as

happy or merry for some who are hungry, cold and possibly liv-

ing in their cars. I heard at a meeting this past week that the

government is cutting the funding to most of our social service

agencies. You may say, “It’s about time the government be-

comes more responsible.” That is correct too, but where is it

going to pinch? My opinion is that the needy on the receiving

end will feel the cuts as they are refused food stamps, and

aren’t helped with their rent or heating bills.

I am doing fine this wondrous season, things are just right

and I really do not want or need anything that I cannot go out

and buy. As you can see from the numbers at our food pantry

on Saturday, it is not the case for everyone. Some of the needy

are already starting to feel the pinch of government funding

cuts and the numbers are going to continue to rise as the State

of Ohio continues to cut spending to balance the budget.

You may ask what you can do. In my opinion, you can help

the food pantries around Paulding County by donating your

time and resources. Many of you who are reading this column

already are doing that, but the need is growing, as the govern-

ment agencies have less to give the needy, something has to

happen to put food on their tables. I think the food pantries of

Paulding County are doing okay at the present time, but Grover

Hill spends more on food to pass out each month as the num-

bers we serve continue to rise.

As an example, we distribute 1,200-1,500 lbs. of meat each

month. It has been wonderful the last few months to be able to

get some free venison from one of the programs of the Ohio

Department of Natural Resources – thank you, hunters, for do-

nating your deer to the needy, but at the end of deer season, we

will need to buy more meat.

If everyone chips in a little, it will help fill the gap and give

the needy people of Paulding County the food they need to be

able to enjoy the wondrous joy of the season. Please donate –

everything helps!

Anniversaries

Birthdays

Do you have legends and

stories in your families? The

kind you have heard and re-

peated over and over

through the years? Georgia

Kohart, who writes for a

neighboring newspaper,

says her family has fun with

such entertaining bits told

and retold in her family.

My uncle, who hunted up

facts about the family tree,

proclaimed he had never

found a single horse thief in

the line. This finding was to

our liking, of course. Our

parents and grandparents

added to our stories from

our childhood on. Mary

Jane Budd Kerns Smith, a

great-grandmother, told of

teaching school. She quali-

fied due to the fact that she

had finished the fourth

grade reader.

Another of her tales was

told of Husband Number

One who went off to the

Civil War, leaving her with

two children. When he re-

turned he was suffering with

consumption, which he

gave, not on purpose, to one

of the daughters, Lilibeth.

She died and so did he. That

grandmother was the one

whose quaint language al-

ways fascinated me. She

said things like, “Fetch me

my reticule, child.”

My mother taught school

eight years before I was

born, her first born. She

qualified for the job by at-

tending Normal School at

Ada for six weeks her first

year out of high school at

the age of 17.

Another quaint relative

(or so she seemed) warned

me against wearing stock-

ings below my knees as this

practice would give me

rheumatism in my later

years. She was right!

In the Schaefer side of

stories told and retold was

one about a tiny son, Fritz,

who awoke in the night to

the screams of FIRE! The

home was indeed on fire. He

picked up his little blanket

and took off down the road

to the neighbors, where he

found a nice couch and went

to sleep there. In the excite-

ment, no one could find

Fritz, so they all began to

believe he was burned up in

the fire. His recovery was a

great item for celebration,

and a story for telling in

years to come.

A relative also relates on

occasion about hearing her

dryer make loud thumping

noises as it was ending the

cycle. When she opened the

door to check as to the

racket, she found a large rat

in bad shape. Screaming for

her husband, she slammed

the door and ran from the

laundry room, leaving the

clean-up job for him to do.

• • •

Henry tells a tale of cat

and mouse, one often re-

peated in his family. He

owned a large peaceful tom-

cat named Otis, an animal

who followed his family

traits by catching mice. He

never ate any of them, just

played with them until they

were unconscious and no

fun anymore, at which time

he would let them go. This

is what they believe hap-

pened during Otis’ adven-

tures.

He took the unconscious

body of one of his mice and

laid it on Marcia’s chest,

where he often spent part of

a night, Marcia being

Henry’s daughter and, at the

time of the story, asleep in

her bed. The mouse, not

being at death’s door,

aroused and crawled under

the covers, searching a safe

place to hide. This action

awoke Marcia, who went

into hysterics when she real-

ized what was going on.

• • •

Garage door openers are a

vital item in the life of

many. They save many a

step for the householders

and if they quit working,

cause much disgust. Such

was the case with our

opener. Several people tried

fixing it, but with no suc-

cess. One cold dark night,

when we had spent the

evening at the house of

friends, we returned to find

the opener was up to its old

tricks – it wouldn’t open.

The Mister was preparing to

leave the car when I sug-

gested, “If I were going to

open that door by hand, I

would just give the thing a

good swift kick instead.”

Grumbling loudly, the

Mister climbed from the car,

walked the few steps to the

door and gave it a good

swift kick as recommended

by me. It opened.

doors, living through house

fires, or remembering

HOW DO YOU SPELL FAJITA?Years ago when I was in

school, two of my favorite

classes were English and

spelling. We used to have

spelling bees and the one left

standing who had spelled all

the words correctly was the

winner. Sometimes I won,

but was almost always in the

top three.

I remember in English

class we’d have to go up to

the blackboard and diagram

sentences. Does anyone re-

member doing that in school?

I loved it and I think I could

still diagram a sentence

today. There was the subject,

predicate, verb, adverbs,

nouns and pronouns.

It has been said that the

English language is hard to

learn and speak. When our

children say their first words,

we are all so proud, espe-

cially if they say the word

“Mama” first. My youngest

daughter, Susie, said “mama”

first. I was so proud and

happy until I figured out that

she was saying the word

“mama” for Mom, monster

and milk.

My son, Tom, believe it or

not, and for whatever reason,

said the word “calendar” for

one of his first words.

Speaking English is one

thing, but the spelling and the

understanding of what a

word means is another. I am

responsible for typing the

school menus here in the of-

fice.

One of the hardest words

for me to spell on the menus

is “fajita.” I have spelled that

word wrong so many times,

it has become an office joke.

The word is even written on

my menu folder and I still

misspell it.

With five different schools

in the county with all differ-

ent menus, you can bet fajitas

will be on one of their

weekly menus.

To me, it makes more

sense to spell the word fajita

just like it sounds, “fahita.”

This is just one of words that

has no rhyme or reason on

the spelling. The best way for

me to handle the fahita

spelling problem is to yell at

Erica Habern, the knower of

all things good, “Hey Erica,

how do you spell fajita?”

It is such a joke around

here now that I just automat-

ically ask her how to spell it.

She will sigh loudly and say,

“Look on your folder.”

There are so many words

that are pronounced the

same, but have totally differ-

ent meanings. I know that

some words I have been say-

ing wrong for years. One of

them is “coldcrock.” I always

heard from Grandma that it

meant to hit someone with a

crock (bowl). Therefore,

“coldcrock.”

I wrote the word coldcrock

in an article once and I was

shocked to learn that it was

actually coldcock (to knock

another unconscious or

knock down with force). To

me, it makes no sense why

someone would change that

old word coldcrock to cold-

cock. I totally disagree.

The other day I was using

the word detour in a sentence

(“the rain did not detour any-

one from attending”). The

proofreader corrected detour

to deter. Of course, I had my

own arguments about how to

spell detour and why it

should be spelled my way.

However, some of the word

spellings depend on the

meaning. I seriously believe

that people make up words

just to confuse us.

For instance, what do you

think of these words?

• The bandage was

wound around the wound.

• The farm was used to

produce produce.

• The dump was so full

that it had to refuse more re-

fuse.

• We must polish the Pol-

ish furniture.

• He could lead if he

would get the lead out.

• The soldier decided to

desert his dessert in the

desert.

• Since there is no time

like the present, he thought it

was time to present the pres-

ent.

• A bass was painted on

the head of the bass drum.

• When shot at, the dove

dove into the bushes.

• I did not object to the

object.

These are just a few words

that sound alike, but have dif-

ferent meanings. Now, I know

in our world of technology,

we can use the spell check on

our computers to make sure a

word is spelled right. But do

one thing for me, try spell

checking fajita and see what

your computer tells you!

Do you think the English

language is hard to learn to

speak? Have you ever dia-

gramed a sentence or had a

spell down at school? Do you

know how to spell fajita? Let

me know and I’ll give you a

Why turkey on Thanksgiving?By Jim Lopshire

OSU Extension educator

When thinking of Thanks-

giving, the first word that

comes to many is turkey. Ac-

cording to the United States

Department of Agriculture,

more than 45 million turkeys

are cooked and eaten in the

United States at Thanksgiv-

ing. This number represents

one-sixth of all the turkeys

sold in the United States each

year.

Today, most people will

prepare and consume a white

domestic turkey. The domes-

tic turkey lost its ability to fly

through selective breeding

that created heavier, broad-

breasted birds, a feature

much desired by chefs and

commercial turkey produc-

ers.

The shorter legs of the do-

mestic turkey also mean it

can not run as well as its wild

cousin. In contrast to the

heavier domestic bird, the

wild turkey is slim, tall and

long-legged.

The wild turkey is native to

eastern United States. His-

tory is not clear on why

turkey is eaten on Thanksgiv-

ing Day. What we know is

that turkey actually did not

become a part of the Ameri-

can Thanksgiving tradition

until the 1860s. In fact,

turkey did not achieve its

prominent status as the cen-

terpiece of the holiday meal

until after World War II.

Wild turkeys were a vital

food source to Native Amer-

icans, but became extinct in

Ohio in 1904. To re-establish

a wild turkey population in

Ohio, wildlife biologists with

the Ohio Department of Nat-

ural Resources began reintro-

ducing wild turkeys to our

state in 1956. Their efforts in-

cluded trapping wild turkeys

outside Ohio and then releas-

ing them into the state’s

forested lands. Woodlands in

Athens, Hocking and Vinton

counties were the first to re-

ceive the out-of-state birds.

In time, as Ohio’s flocks

developed their own steady

populations, wildlife man-

agers trapped and trans-

planted “home-grown” wild

turkeys to other parts of the

state. Today, wild turkeys can

be heard and hunted in all 88

Ohio counties.

Some interesting facts on

wild turkeys:

• Found in all of the

lower 48 states and Hawaii.

• Can fly at speeds up to

55 mph.

• Can run at speeds of at

least 19 mph.

• Have good eyesight.

They see approximately the

same distance as humans, but

they can pick out minute de-

tails.

• Have excellent hearing,

but a poor sense of smell.

• Roost in trees at night

for protection from predators.

Few holidays embody

American traditions like

Thanksgiving. The bountiful

feast, the time spent with

your family, the pies, the

breads, the stuffing, and of

course, the turkey.

One wonders if the

Thanksgiving feast would be

the same if Ben Franklin had

gotten his wish for the gob-

bling bird to be our national

symbol.

More than 1,300see Festival of Trees

One of the best kept secrets

in Paulding County is the John

Paulding Historical Society, lo-

cated on Fairground Drive.

Last weekend, more than 1,300

children and adults came to

view the Festival of Trees, and

many of the visitors remarked

that they had never been to the

museum before.

Two buildings were deco-

rated with the theme “Christ-

mas Bells Are Ringing.” The

majority of all of the decora-

tions have been donated over

the years by local residents and

brought out of storage.

Over 70 trees were deco-

rated by local business,

schools, individuals, churches,

healthcare groups, Scouts, area

charities and the committee.

There is always room for one

more.

The favorite tree vote went

to the Caring and Sharing Food

Pantry of Paulding. The fa-

vorite tree vote for children

went to the Paulding/Oakwood

second graders.

More than 30 items were do-

nated for the silent auction.

The museum hosted three

meals this year with a good at-

tendance at each one.

Anyone who missed the live

nativity on Saturday night

missed a real treat. The little

donkeys were shy but deter-

mined and the pygmy goats

didn’t have a care as long as

they had good straw and hay to

munch on. Was that how it was

the night of the birth of our

Lord?

To complement the live na-

tivity, Bob Merriman of Oak-

wood displayed several

nativity scenes from his collec-

tion.

Entertainment was provided

nightly and on Sunday after-

noon.

Several children were able to

sit on Santa’s lap and tell him

their wish list, have their pic-

ture taken and receive a treat

bag.

The Talking Tree came in

out of the forest and was a

highlight of the weekend. The

museum has the original and

he has been around a long time.

The John Paulding Histori-

cal Society Museum is kept

open by donations and volun-

teers. This Festival of Trees

weekend was successful be-

cause of the faithful followers

who return year after year, a

great committee, and faithful

museum volunteers.

Next year’s theme will be

“Angels Say ‘Halo’ To Christ-

mas.” The festival will be held

it the same weekend (Nov. 17-

20, 2011); mark your calendar

now. The festival committee is

always open to suggestions and

for volunteers to help on the

committee.

A membership campaign is

being planned for the new year.

To join, call the museum on

Tuesdays from 10 a.m.-4 p.m.,

or any member or tree commit-

tee member. Plans for the an-

nual wine and cheese tasting

night are also under way for the

new year.

Committee members this

year were Rose Munger, Di-

anne Stouffer, Gene Olwin,

Louella Thomas, Rhonda and

Erica Smalley, Anna Kauser

and Eileen Kochensparger.

Vagabond has 60th anniversaryBy JAROD ROSEBROCK

“The Vag” has long been a favorite eating spot for area diners.The restaurant features weekly specials and family dining sevendays a week.

Feature Writer

CECIL – For more than

half a century, customers

who wanted a late night or

early morning meal, needed

a quick stop for gas or simply

wanted good, home-style

food could find it at the

Vagabond Village located on

County Road 424 (old U.S.

24) on the Maumee River

northeast of Antwerp and

south of Sherwood.

The Vagabond is celebrat-

ing its 60th anniversary

under the same family of

owners this year. It has been

an area landmark since it

opened in 1950.

A restaurant was first built

at the location of the

Vagabond in the early 1940s

by two school teachers who

ran the business during the

summer. After a few years

they sold it to Herb and Flo

Benson. Benson built the

current building in 1946. It

was a two-story structure

with the downstairs as a

restaurant and the upstairs

containing 10 hotel rooms.

In 1950, Erwin and Mar-

garet Rush purchased the

Vagabond Village and lived

in the stone house located

next to the restaurant. Ac-

cording Erwin and Mar-

garet’s son and current owner

Dave Rush, his parents had

been in the restaurant busi-

ness for years owning loca-

tions in Fort Wayne and Indi-

anapolis before taking over

the Vagabond.

The building itself was a

lot smaller then. The dining

room wasn’t built and there

were only some counter

stools and a few small tables.

Customers could purchase a

slice of pie for 20 cents and

get a cup of coffee for a

nickel.

The Vagabond was a pop-

ular 24-hour truck stop when

it was first opened. Trucker

drivers would come in at all

hours to play slots and watch

black and white cowboy

movies.

Shortly after the Rushes

took over, the state outlawed

slots, but the Vagabond con-

tinued to prosper. A new

kitchen was added in 1954,

and perhaps the biggest addi-

tion was the construction of

the gas station in 1956.

The elder Rushes retired

from the restaurant business

in 1959. While they still

owned the business they

started just nine years earlier,

they handed management of

the Vagabond over to Dave

and his wife, Illa. They added

the 85-seat dining room in

1985 and the building took

on the look it still has today.

Dave and Illa took over as of-

ficial owners of the restau-

rant in 1988 when Margaret

passed away.

The Vagabond celebrated

its 50th anniversary in 2000

and was enjoying continued

success. It was a well-known,

24-hour landmark in the

community, but according to

Dave, after the 9/11 attacks it

started seeing a decline in

business. He says people

stopped going out as much

after dark and truck business

started declining because the

truckers started eating fast

food to get a quicker meal.

The Vagabond stopped its

24-hour service soon after

9/11. It is now open 6 a.m. –

9 p.m. Sunday-Thursday and

6 a.m. – 10 p.m. on Friday

and Saturday.

With truck business on the

decline, Dave and Illa closed

the gas station a couple years

ago. They say the move of

U.S. 24 hasn’t affected their

business much. They say

most of their business has

been local for a while now

and with the truckers already

opting for fast food, it didn’t

change a whole lot.

The restaurant has now

crossed over into a third gen-

eration of the Rush family.

Dave and Illa’s daughter,

Lyn, has taken on the respon-

sibility of manager.

Despite ending 24-hour

service and closing its gas

station, the Vagabond Village

is still a landmark in area.

Any business that can stay

open for 60 years and

weather everything that has

changed since 1950 must be

a restaurant that a community

feels it can’t live without.

The Rushes credit their

success to good food, a good

reputation and all of the sup-

port they get from their won-

derful, loyal customers. It

could also be that customers

like eating at a restaurant that

has stood the test of time and

has done so under the man-

agement of one family.

The signature dish at the

Vagabond is its Hobo Burger,

which is a triple layer sand-

wich that contains two beef

patties, sauce and a special

bun. “The Vag” has specials

each day of the weekend, in-

cluding a fish fry on Fridays,

prime rib and steak with soup

and salad on Saturdays, and a

chicken buffet on Sundays.

Antwerp to interviewfor new treasurer

By STEVE MAJOR

Correspondent

ANTWERP – The Antwerp

Local School Board identified

four candidates to interview

for the treasurer and chief fi-

nancial officer (CFO) position

at its monthly meeting on

Nov. 18.

The opening was created

with the impending retirement

of Jane Limber as of Dec. 3.

A total of 17 applications

were received for the position.

“We have excellent candi-

dates who have both experi-

ence in schools and state

treasurers’ licenses,” said su-

perintendent Mark Hartman.

“We will start interviews on

Nov. 23 and plan to have a

new treasurer in place on Jan.

1.”

The board approved three

school trips, including: 9-12

grade band and choir trip to

Disney World May 3-8;

eighth grade trip to Washing-

ton, D.C. on May 9-14; and

senior class trip to Gatlinburg,

Tenn., March 23-26.

In personnel action, the

board approved Matt Hor-

mann as freshman boys’ bas-

ketball coach and Tim Copsey

as assistant boys’ basketball

coach for the upcoming bas-

ketball season.

Hartman reported to the

board that work on the cli-

mate controls at the school

continues.

“We will have proper cli-

mate controls for the basket-

ball games so that it’s not

freezing or too hot for players

and fans,” explained Hart-

man.

The board also heard of

several upcoming schools

events, including: Dec. 13, 7

p.m. the holiday choir con-

cert; Dec. 15, at 9:15 a.m. the

seventh and eighth grade

The administration reported

to the board that 140 middle

and high school students

made the honor roll in the first

term; this despite the fact that

qualifications for the honor

roll have been made stricter.

Hartman reported to the

board that initial work on the

school’s proposal for federal

education program Race to the

Top funding had been com-

pleted. Ohio has been awarded

$400 million from the program

and Antwerp hopes to receive

up to $100,000 of those funds

over the next four years.

“Our initial scope of work

was returned to us by the state

for further work. We have

completed the revision and the

work has been approved. Next,

this spring we will formalize

the work on teacher and prin-

cipal evaluation,” said Hart-

man.

The next school board meet-

ing will be at 6 p.m. Thursday,

Dec. 16.

At the SWCD annual meet-ing, James Pendergrast Sr.was honored for his longtimework as a drainage contractorand support of SWCD.

QUESTION: How do I

train my 2-year-old to

clean up after herself?

She’ll go into her sisters’

room and destroy it, and

won’t help clean up unless

I threaten to punish her.

Then she only picks up a

couple of things before

getting distracted.

Frankly, it’s easier for me

to clean it up myself. My

older girls complain that

they have to clean up but

their little sister doesn’t. I

know this isn’t fair, but

what else do I do?

JULI: As any parent

knows, the most challeng-

ing task of raising a toddler

is setting boundaries. It is

important to teach your

daughter that she has to

clean up the messes that she

makes, but that might be an

impossible task if the

messes are too big. Part of

teaching your 2-year-old re-

sponsibility is not allowing

her to get into trouble or

messes that are too big for

her to clean up.

To start with, limit her

play areas. If she’s going to

trash her sisters’ room, then

make that room off-limits.

Keep play areas to her own

room or a family room.

Even in those areas, limit

the number of toys she has

access to at a given time.

She can choose to play with

the dollhouse or the blocks,

but not have access to every

toy in the house. Consis-

tently ask her to clean those

up immediately before she

moves on to the next thing.

What she’s capable of

handling is going to grow

with time. The lesson of

cleaning up a few toys will

transfer to greater responsi-

bility in years to come. Re-

sist that temptation to

swoop in and clean up for

her. The extra time and ef-

fort now will be well worth

it as your daughter grows.

QUESTION: I was aston-

ished to read how much

childhood obesity is in-

creasing. Do you have any

suggestions for parents

who want to help their

kids avoid this health

nightmare?

Jim: Rather than focusing

on the obvious, like eating

well-balanced meals and

keeping junk food to a min-

imum, let’s look at some-

thing that moms and dads

might tend to overlook:

snack time. Every situation

is different, but research

suggests that on the whole,

many children are simply

snacking too much.

Health Affairs reports that

kids are taking in signifi-

cantly more calories from

snack foods today than they

did in the 1970s. Other sta-

tistics show that half of

American children snack

four times a day, with some

kids eating almost con-

stantly – as many as 10

snacks a day! It’s not likely

that these kids are hungry

that often. Researchers be-

lieve they’re simply eating

the food because it’s there,

almost as a form of enter-

tainment. Obviously, when

kids spend so much time

snacking, they’re less likely

to eat a balanced meal at

breakfast, lunch or dinner.

The snacks themselves

are a problem, as well.

Cookies and cakes are the

most popular snacks among

kids, with chips and other

salty items running a close

second. Children are also

drinking a lot more fruit

juice. That might sound

good on the surface, but

most of these drinks are

loaded with excess sugar

and are much less healthy

than an actual piece of fruit.

An after-school snack

isn’t a bad thing. But most

people would agree that

snacks are no substitute for

a healthy and well-balanced

meal. And of course, the

snack itself should be nutri-

tious. Parents need to make

sure they’re setting a good

example for their kids in

this area. Don’t expect your

child to be happy with an

apple if you’re snacking on

candy bars and soda!

‘Winning the Battle for a Generation’By Rick Jones

executive director, Defiance

Area Youth for Christ

Fiorello LaGuardia was mayor of New York

City during the Depression, and he was quite

a character. He would ride the city fire trucks,

take entire orphanages to baseball games and

whenever the city newspapers went on strike,

he would get on the radio and read the Sunday

“funnies” to the children.

At any rate, one bitter cold winter’s night in

1935, Mayor LaGuardia turned up in a night

court that served the poorest ward in the city,

dismissed the judge for the evening and took

over the bench himself. After he heard a few

cases, a tattered old woman was brought be-

fore him, accused of stealing a loaf of bread.

She told LaGuardia that her daughter’s hus-

band had deserted her, her daughter was sick

and her grandchildren were starving. But the

shopkeeper, from whom the bread was stolen,

insisted on pressing charges. “My store is in a

very bad neighborhood, your Honor,” he said.

“She’s got to be punished in order to teach

other people a lesson.”

The mayor sighed. He turned to the old

woman and said, “I’ve got to punish you,” he

said. “The law makes no exception – $10 or

10 days in jail.”

But even as he spoke, LaGuardia was reach-

ing into his pocket and pulling out a $10 bill.

“Here is the woman’s fine,” he said, “and fur-

thermore, I’m going to fine everyone in this

court room 50 cents for living in a city where

a person has to steal bread so that her grand-

children can eat. Mr. Bailiff, collect the fines

and give them to the defendant.”

The following day, the New York Times re-

ported that $47.50 was turned over to the be-

wildered old woman. It was given by the

red-faced store owner, some 70 petty crimi-

nals, people with traffic violations and city po-

licemen – and they all gave their mayor a

standing ovation as they handed over their

money.

That’s how it will be with God’s world. Just

when it seems that all hope is lost, and good-

ness and mercy shall never win, the Great

Judge will come to set things right, deciding

for the hungry and the meek of the earth.

The scriptures describe God’s passion for

truth and justice this way ... Micah 6:8 (NIV),

“And what does the LORD require of you? To

act justly and to love mercy and to walk

humbly with your God.”

Paulding County Pedigree

By: Caroline Zimmerman

THE PILGRIMS AT PLYMOUTHThe Mayflower ship had

been sailing since 1616 in the

various trades, including haul-

ing smelly fish, turpentine and

tar. Weighing only 180 tons

and only about 106 feet long,

the Plymouth voyage must

have been very rough.

When she was engaged to

come to America in 1620 with

the 102 passengers crammed

on board with their goods and

supplies, it was surely a trial

for everyone. They came

across the North Atlantic to

avoid pirates who frequented

the more temperate latitudes.

The following is a small bit of

some of their stories.

Most of the Pilgrims were

Separatists who were opposed

to the forms of the Church of

England, but spent most of the

Sabbath in informal services

combining social and religious

activities. Only three of the

company were from Scrooby

– William and Mary Brewster

and William Bradford – and 41

came from Leyden. The others

were “Strangers” largely from

London and southeastern Eng-

land. They were not Brown-

ists; neither were they

Separatists of any rival school.

On the contrary, they were

good members of the Church

of England for the most part.

Christopher Martin was a Pu-

ritan. No Bluebloods were

among them and they wer the

“pathetic interest in the coat-

of-arms.”

Among thee all aware of

poverty and “Strangers” were

three Pilgrims: Myles Standish,

John Alden and Priscilla

Mullins. Priscilla may have

been a Separatist as her father

was one of the first to sign up

and pay in his money. William

Mullins (“Molines” as he

wrote it) was a Huguenot and

came from France to join the

company. Priscilla’s future hus-

band, John Alden, was a “hop-

full yonge man” of 20 from

Harwich, Essex. He was re-

membered by his family as tall,

blond, and very powerful in

physique, and one of the more

powerful men in Plymouth. He

was a cooper by trade. Getting

ready for the voyage, he tended

carefully to the precious barrels

of beer, plain water and strong

cider in the hold.

Myles Standish was a hard-

ened professional soldier of 36

or so being about five years

Bradford’s senior. He was

called “Captain Shrimpe,” be-

cause he was short with red

hair and red complexion when

he got angry. It appears he was

born about 1584. He married

his wife, Rose, and at the end

of his life left many estates in

Lancashire and on the Isle of

Man. He never joined the

Church at Plymouth – he may

have been Catholic.

Other “Strangers” were

James Chilton, a tailor of Can-

terbury, with his wife and

daughter. Samuel Hopkins had

the largest family on board of

Gloucestershire (London). One

of Edward Winslow’s younger

brothers, Gilbert, had joined

the ship at Southampton, as

had Peter Browne, ancestor of

John Brown of Osawatomie,

who came from Essex. John

Billington of London had the

distinction as the only Pilgrim

father to be hanged.

Besides the Saints and

Strangers, a third group con-

sisted of the hired men. Five

were under contract to remain

in the colony for a year. They

were not regarded as settlers or

members of the company.

The indentured servants

were a larger group set off from

the others. Their indentures

usually ran for seven years;

they were fed, clothed and

housed by their masters, but re-

ceived no wages, being virtu-

ally slaves by their masters.

Frequently, they were bought,

sold and hired out as such.

There were 18 servants on

board the Mayflower and 11 of

them were strong young men.

Most of them belonged to the

Leyden group, which suggests

that is the Saints were poor, the

Strangers were even still

poorer. Historians tell us that as

a man of his wealth, John

Carver had 4 servants – for his

wife, his boy and a maid; for

himself, Roger Wilder and

John Howland, “a lustie yonge

man,” who quickly made a

name for himself at Plymouth.

The William Whites had

brought two, as had the

Winslows, one being George

Soule of Eckington, Worcester-

shire, who was destined, like

Howland, to rise to some

prominence after he had served

his time.

Lastly, Isaac Allerton and

Deacon Samuel Fuller had one

servant each. Among the

Strangers only three had the

means to transport bond slaves.

Christopher Martin and

William Mullins each had one

while Stephen Hopkins had

two, Edward Dotey and Ed-

ward Leister, both of London.

In this servant group were

four small waifs by the name of

More, poor orphans of London,

who were living with Thomas

Weston when they were

dragged off quite as if they

were debtors or criminals sen-

tenced to be transported to the

colonies. The mayor of Lon-

don felt this relieved the pres-

sure of the population in the

poorer quarters of the city. One

of the waifs was put into the

Winslow’s household, a second

into Carver’s was Richard

More and another nameless

brother was given to the Brew-

sters. Only Richard was alive a

few months later and he lived

to an old age.

All of these Saints and

Strangers, hired hands and in-

dentured servants, men and

women and children, down to

babes in arms, even in embryo

– should properly be numbered

in the Pilgrim company.

Though many are little more

than names, their ghosts de-

serve to be honored.

Note: Some of the info for

this item was taken from:

Saints and Strangers by

George Willison. Not all the

names of the 102 Pilgrims are

listed.

In Auglaize Sewer District, over

40 properties have unpaid feesThe Paulding County commissioners

took steps to obtain delinquent sewer dis-

trict fees in recent action.

Commissioners Tony Zartman, Tony

Burkley and Edward Straley voted to au-

thorize the county auditor to place certified

unpaid charges for the Auglaize River

Sewer District upon the first half 2011 real

property tax list and duplicate against the

property served by the connection.

Landowners in the Auglaize River

Sewer District have been receiving a

monthly invoice beginning November

2009 to partially defray costs incurred to

date for the project. Currently there are 41

landowners with charges at least 90 days

past due.

The commissioners met with Gary Ad-

kins and Rob Goshia from Paulding

County Hospital. Goshia presented the

Paulding County Hospital’s 2011 operat-

ing and capital budget for the commission-

ers’ review. It was approved as submitted.

Adkins noted the surgical suites will be

renovated in 2011. The current surgical

suites were built in the 1960s and are now

too small to accommodate medical equip-

ment. Adkins stated the emergency room

will be renovated in 2012.

He also noted the hospital operates on a

very low debt ratio when compared to

neighboring hospitals.

Adkins then explained the hospital will

be converting to an electronic medical

records system, as required by federal law.

He anticipates this system was allowed in

the 2010 budget and will be implemented

yet this year.

Adkins and Goshia then discussed the

economy and cuts in the Medicaid medical

benefits and the impact on the hospital.

Treasurer Lou Ann Wannemacher re-

viewed the 2010 CUSIP report. She noted

that many CUSIPs have been called due to

the drop in interest rates. Wannemacher

presented an estimated revenue report on

CDs and savings accounts report for 2010.

Receipts are down from what was esti-

mated.

Engineer Travis McGarvey gave an up-

date on wind farm status. He reported

Horizon expects its permit approval by

Nov. 18. A pre-construction meeting is ten-

tatively set for Nov. 19. A road agreement

from Horizon should be coming soon.

The commissioners extended the con-

tract with Solid Ground LLC for the re-

moval of snow accumulations for the

2010-11 winter season at the courthouse

with the same stipulations and fee as the

2009-10 winter season contract.

The commissioners approved the Title

XX County Profile as presented by Corey

Walker, director of Paulding County De-

partment of Job and Family Services, for

the two-year fiscal period July 1, 2011

through June 30, 2013.

Coty Moore met with the commission-

ers with questions about the dog kennel.

The commissioners met with Rachel

Perrott and Paul Smerud of Liberty Na-

tional Life Insurance Company. The com-

pany offers Worksite Advantage, an op-

tional group life insurance benefit. This

benefit is strictly voluntary for employees.

Liberty National offers tax sheltered pre-

miums through payroll deductions. Upon

retirement, there is no conversion or re-

qualifying and no increase in premium.

payroll and a date will be scheduled for in-

terested employees.

Fun-raiser makes over $3,000 for 4-HOrganizers of the first an-

nual 4-H Fun-raiser on Nov. 6

Over $3,000 was raised to sup-

port the Paulding County 4-H

program.

over 50 items donated from

local businesses and 4-H clubs,

brought in nearly $2,000 by it-

self.

of activities for participants to

enjoy and concluded with an

awards program.

Slated as the day’s events

were a straw maze, a cake

walk, a scavenger hunt, a pop

ring toss and face painting, a

corn hole tournament, pump-

kin chuckin’ contest, a coloring

contest and bobbing for apples.

Corn hole winners were

Chase Williams and Kaylee

Rohlf, both of Defiance. They

donated their winnings back to

the junior division.

John Rosswurm from Lead-

ers of Tomorrow won the sen-

ior treasurer’s book division.

Sierra Cline from Doe-C-Doe

took top honors with her com-

munications officer book.

All 4-H advisors present

were recognized for their ef-

forts with a certificate.

A special event during the

awards ceremony was the pres-

entation of a check from Mon-

santo to the Paulding County

4-H program.

The John Young family en-

tered a contest sponsored by

Monsanto in which a $2,500

grant is awarded to the organi-

zation of the winner’s choice.

Young’s were selected as the

local winner and their selection

for the donation was the

county’s 4-H program.

4-H members really enjoyed finding their way through the straw maze, including this trio ofunidentified young ladies.

Heather Wilson, the 2010 Ohio Fairs Queen, spoke at the 4-Hawards banquet. She also presented certificates and plaques to4-H members and advisors who earned them. Here she and jun-ior fair board president Drew Taylor talk before a presentation.

n OAKWOODContinued from Page 1Aand cannot drive to the center.

Council discussed the possibility of an Oak-

wood senior center and decided that it would

be good for the residents of the area. Council

discussed the use of the Oakwood fire station

as a location for the center and advised Fire

Chief Kenny Thomas that the fire station was

too small and doesn’t have adequate parking

to handle this type of facility. Council voted

unanimously advising Thomas to tell Yeutter

that she should pursue the Twin Oaks United

Methodist Church as the prime location in lieu

of the fire station.

Police Chief Mark Figert reported the fol-

lowing calls received and cleared for the

month of October: unwanted person (2), theft

(1), keys locked in vehicle (1), fight (1), assist

other law enforcement dept. (1), breaking and

entering (1), assault (1), civil dispute (1), wel-

fare check (2), criminal mischief (1), dog

complaint (1), miscellaneous (4), trash com-

plaint (4), and unruly juvenile (5). Twenty-six

complaints were reported and cleared for the

month of October.

Tim Phillips, who is the licensed plant opera-

tor for the Oakwood water and wastewater

plants, gave council a report of the two plants’

operations. Phillips told council that he was sav-

ing the village some money by completing some

of the testing at the plant and that both systems

were operating within EPA specifications.

Phillips also thanked the village workers for all

their help and quick response.

The fire chief told council that all the Christ-

mas decorations are up and ready.

Thomas commended the firemen for an

“awesome” performance at the Superior Street

fire.

Village administrator John Keyes told coun-

cil that all fire hydrants are now flushed and

greased.

Council spent some time discussing the four-

wheeler nuisance problem in the Chapel Lane

area, the parking problem on North Third Street

during the time children are being picked up after

school, and the recent paving on Main Street.

The next regular Oakwood Village Council

Meeting will be at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 13.

GAHANNA – AEP Ohio, a unit of American

Electric Power, has signed a long-term power

purchase agreement for wind energy with

Paulding Wind Farm II LLC, a subsidiary of

Horizon Wind Energy, a Houston-based com-

pany with over 20 wind farms across the United

States.

Through a 20-year agreement, AEP Ohio will

purchase all of the output from the 99-

megawatt (MW) facility that will be located in

Benton Township, Paulding County.

Review of the agreement will be included in

AEP Ohio’s upcoming ESP filing and it is sub-

ject to approval from the Public Utilities Com-

mission of Ohio. The project will consist of 55

V100-1.8 MW turbines to be manufactured by

Vestas. The facility is expected to be in com-

mercial operation by midsummer 2011. Terms

of both agreements were not disclosed.

“Incorporating renewable energy resources

such as wind into our generation fleet fits with

the vision of AEP Ohio and that of the state,”

said Joseph Hamrock, AEP Ohio president and

chief operating officer. “Ohio’s energy law pro-

motes the development of alternative energy by

establishing increasing benchmarks for renew-

able resources by 2025. Although we have pro-

posed to purchase up to 300 megawatts from

wind in our Electric Security Plan to meet the

state’s near-term benchmarks, the establishment

of this site reaffirms the potential for wind in

Ohio.”

In addition to the agreements with Paulding

Wind Farm II LLC, AEP Ohio has contracted for

other renewable energy resources. AEP Ohio has

a long-term power agreement for 100 MW of

wind energy from the Fowler Ridge II Wind

Farm located in Indiana and a long-term power

agreement for solar energy from the 10.08-MW

Wyandot Solar facility in Upper Sandusky.

AEP Ohio provides electricity to nearly 1.5

million customers of major AEP subsidiaries

Columbus Southern Power Company and Ohio

Power Company in Ohio, and Wheeling Power

Company in the northern panhandle of West Vir-

ginia. AEP Ohio is based in Gahanna. The com-

pany serves all or part of 61 counties in Ohio and

two in West Virginia.

Payne Council to discuss sewer planBy AMBER McMANUS

Correspondent

PAYNE – Payne Village

Council met Monday.

The EPA notified the vil-

lage about implementation of

the nine minimum controls

for reducing the combined

sewer overflow impacts, and

the status of the long-term

control plan projects.

The Village of Payne is re-

quired to develop and submit

to the Ohio EPA an approv-

able Combined Sewer Oper-

ational (CSO) Plan. The

Combined Sewer Operation

and Maintenance Plan will

include a description of how

the system will be utilized, a

physical description of each

CSO, precautions to be taken

to prohibit any dry weather

overflows, documentation of

implementing the nine mini-

mum controls as outlined in

Ohio EPA’s CSO strategy,

and also keeping the EPA in-

formed of the ongoing effort

to improve the operation and

maintenance of the sewer

system.

The meeting with Pogge-

meyer Design Group to go

over the NPDES permit will

be announced at a later date.

The Friends of the Library

will have a Christmas walk

and bake sale to help with ex-

penses for the library roof. It

will be held from 9 a.m.-2

p.m. Saturday, Dec. 11. Tick-

ets may be purchased at the

Payne Library or Zublee’s

Pizza. For any information,

please call the Payne Library

at 419-263-2863.

There was a third and final

reading of Ordinance No.

2010-10 to accept the dedica-

tion of Parkway Drive as a

duly dedicated street. Coun-

cil unanimously approved the

measure.

A letter will be going to the

Paulding Township Trustees

stating that the Village of

Payne will not be pursuing a

contract for Sections 18, 19,

29, 30, 31 and 32 for EMS

coverage for the upcoming

2011 year.

As a reminder, there will

be no more leaf pick-up. Res-

idents who have leaves

should bag them up and take

them to the town park.

The budget meeting will

be held at 8 a.m. Dec. 4.

State approves constructionof Timber Road II Wind Farm

COLUMBUS – The Ohio

Power Siting Board (OPSB)

last week approved an agree-

ment authorizing Paulding

Wind Farm II LLC to con-

struct Timber Road II Wind

Farm in western Paulding

County.

The facility will consist of

up to 98 wind turbines spread

across 15,000 leased acres

with a combined generating

capacity of up to 150.4

megawatts (MW).

“The certification of Tim-

ber Road II is another step in

the right direction for Ohio’s

clean energy future,” said

OPSB chairman Alan R.

Schriber. “The wind farm

will contribute towards the

renewable goals included in

our state’s alternative energy

portfolio.”

On May 14, Paulding

Wind II filed an application

with the OPSB for a certifi-

cate to site a wind-powered

electric generation facility.

After conducting an investi-

gation of Paulding Wind II’s

proposal, OPSB staff submit-

ted a summary of its findings

and recommendation to the

board on Sept. 7.

At a local public hearing

held in Paulding on Sept. 22,

six witnesses provided testi-

mony about the project. Sup-

porters emphasized the

potential economic and envi-

ronmental benefits of the

project. Opponents voiced

concerns about potential neg-

ative consequences including

effects on public health and

property values.

On Oct. 5, Paulding Wind

II, OPSB Staff and the Ohio

Farm Bureau Federation filed

an agreement resolving all of

the outstanding issues in the

case. The agreement recom-

mended approval of the ap-

plication subject to 60

conditions intended to miti-

gate the ecological, environ-

mental and social impacts of

the project.

Included in these condi-

tions, Paulding Wind II must:

•Mitigate the potential im-

pacts of noise and shadow

flicker near the project area.

•Install and maintain ero-

sion and sedimentation con-

trol measures.

•Establish a process to re-

ceive project-related com-

plaints from the public.

•Meet all federal and state

requirements for construction

of turbines that may affect

navigable airspace, radar or

communications.

•Repair all impacted roads

and bridges following con-

struction.

•Repair damage to agricul-

tural land, including field tile.

•Decommission the facil-

ity, or individual turbines, at

the company’s expense.

Paulding Wind II expects

to begin the construction of

this project in December.

Construction will include a

new transformer substation

and underground electric col-

lection lines, as well as new

or improved access roads to

support the facility. The proj-

ect is expected to create 420

temporary construction jobs

and 43 full-time, permanent

positions.

The OPSB certificated the

construction of Timber Road

Wind Farm on Aug. 23.
