From Staff Reports PAULDING Amazon Web ServicesInc. (AWS), an Amazon.com company,announced Thursday that it has contractedwith EDP Renewables to construct and op-erate a 100 megawatt (MW) wind farm inPaulding County. Called the Amazon Wind Farm U.S.Central, this new wind farm is expect-ed to start generating approximately320,000 megawatt hours (MWh) of windenergy annually starting in May 2017, orenough to power more than 29,000 U.S.homes in a year. The energy generatedwill be delivered into the electrical gridthat supplies both current and future

AWS Cloud data centers. An agreement has been entered into withAmazon Wind Farm U.S. Central where-by Amazon will purchase electricity fromEDP, according to Erin Bowser, EDPGreat Lakes Region development spokes-man. A total of 48 wind turbines, produc-ing 100.8 MW will be constructed on whatis currently referred to as Timber Road Iand Timber Road III in Harrison Townshipnorth of Payne. Groundbreaking for the 48 turbines isexpected to be in May 2016 with operationscheduled to take place by the end of theyear, said Bowser. This project will be an approximate

$200 million investment in PauldingCounty, Bowser added. This projectwill also generate an additional $900,000in annual tax revenue to the local taxingjurisdictions. Timber Roads I and III were shelvedback in June 2014 when Gov. John Kasichsigned into law Senate Bill 310, putting atwo-year hiatus on renewable energy stan-dards in the state.

A Big 10 collection by mistake

Wayne Trace superintendent Steve Arnold has an extensive Big

10 collection of memorabilia. With the big game scheduled for Satur-day pitting the Buckeyes against Michigan, WT intervention special-ist Zach Boyer volunteered to be Michigan while Arnold posed as theBuckeyes as they butt helmets to signify the upcoming battle. Boyerwas quick to clarify that we was only holding the Michigan helmetbecause his boss asked him and not because he is a Michigan fan.

By JOE SHOUSESportswriter

On Saturday, two Big 10 Con-ference powerhouse footballteams, each with a rich tradition,will again do battle on the gridiron. The Ohio State Buckeyeswill play the Michigan Wolver-ines, or as many Buckeye faith-ful refer to the maize and blue asthe team up north. The most recent credentialsfor the scarlet and gray is quiteimpressive. National championsa year ago, undefeated this yearwhile holding down the numberone position in the polls all sea-son long (all true until they stum-

bled on Saturday against Mich-igan State 17-14 ouch). ForMichigan, the winning and therankings have slipped a notchor two in recent years but with anew coach and a winning seasonthe Wolverines appear to be backon track.

But, like most rivalries, theOSU-Michigan game is alwaysbig. Like they say, forget the re-cords, forget the rankings, thisis Ohio State and Michigan andanything can happen and oftentimes does. Its not a nationalholiday when the two teamsmeet but for many who live inBig 10 country, especially these

two neighboring states, it mightas well be.For those who have grown up

in the midst of the Big 10 usu-ally have a favorite team. Often,their favorite team is in the statewhere they were born or cur-rently live and thats where theirallegiance usually lies. Living in

three different states that repre-sent the Big 10 I have seen thestrong support fans have for theirteam. In Ohio, with one Big 10school within its borders, mostfans are OSU fans most, butnot all. In Indiana, its Purdue upnorth and Indiana in the southernportion of the state, and in Mich-igan there is the in-state rival thatpits Michigan against MichiganState. The point is its the Big10 and everyone seems to have afavorite team. For Steve Arnold. WayneTrace Superintendent, its morethan having a favorite team.Now, if you can get him to ad-

mit it, he will tell you his favor-ite team. A little hint. He lives inOhio and he will be watching thebig game on Saturday. Rathersimple to gure out. But it goes a little deeperthan that for Arnold. Yes, hesan OSU fan but he has anotherfavorite team and this may be asurprise its Northwestern. Butmore about that later. A few weeks ago I inter-viewed Arnold in his ofceabout the upcoming school levywhen I noticed his mini-shrinededicated to the Big 10. Being asports writer and growing up inthe midst of the Big Ten, I could

not help but ask about his collec-tion. The answer was simple butwith a twist. I like the Big 10. I am a fan ofthe conference, said Arnold.

But the collection of miniaturefootball helmets, each with apencil honoring the school stra-tegically and perfectly displayed

next to the helmet intrigued me.There were pennants of eachschool on the wall, shirts, ban-ners, all with a Big 10 avor. Itwas all about the Big 10 withoutemphasis on OSU or Northwest-ern except for a Northwesternwaste basket leaning near thebookcase that housed the minihelmets. I have to admit, when I saw

the display and the fact that OSUwas not dominating the display,much like they dominate thereopponent on the eld, I had afeeling there was a story to beshared and one for me to enjoyhearing. Sure enough, there andthats where the twist comesinto play.

It all started with someonemaking a mistake. And thatsomeone can not be identiedand remains nameless and yet ismost important in this story. Its interesting, how it allstarted. About 10 years ago, Su-sie, my wife, ordered our son-in-law Mike Bradbury an OSUstepping stone for Christmas.The order was placed and a few

days later the stepping stone ar-rived all boxed up for gift giv-ing, said Arnold

So far so good. Unfortunately,when Mike opened the box, thestepping stone that was placedinside at a warehouse by thenameless packager turned out tobe a Penn State stepping stoneand not the anticipated OSUstone. Certainly not what anOSU fan would want.

The plan would be to returnthe mistaken Penn State step-ping stone that was packaged byan innocent, yet nameless ware-house worker that was llingan order for what was to be themost important OSU stone. Butthat mistake in packaging turnedout to be the beginning of a col-orful collection of Big 10 mem-orabilia. Yes, the OSU stone was or-dered, received and Mike even-tually got his gift. As for thePenn State stepping stone, well,thats how the Big 10 shrine gotits start. That mistaken stepping stonewas never returned and becamemy rst Big Ten item that wouldeventually grow into a displayhonoring all the teams in the BigTen, said Arnold. The small display in his ofcelocated in the board of education

wing at Wayne Trace is just asmall prelude of a much largerdisplay housed in the basementof Arnolds residence. A dis-play that shows no favorites butincludes all the teams all 14teams. My basement is surroundedby a continuous wooden shelf

Wednesday, November 25, 2015 Paulding County Progress - 3A

It is 7 a.m. Joseph, 13,Lovina, 11, and Kevin, 10,just left for school. It soundsvery windy outside, but thetemperature isnt that cold, 58degrees. Son Benjamin, 16, is

outside doing the morningchores. He doesnt have worktoday. Mose is putting a newmotor in his saw if I under-stood right. The motor camefrom Wisconsin so its alltaking time to get repaired.Benjamin has been enjoyinghunting on some days. Opening day for shotgunseason was on Sunday. Mosebought daughter Susan, 19,a gun and they went huntingon Monday. Susan didnt getanything. This week I have been sew-ing work pants for son Ben-jamin. I want to cut out some

dress pants for him yet. On Sunday my sisters Ver-ena and Susan, our daughterElizabeth and her husbandTimothy, and Jacob and Em-mas three sons, Jacob Jr.,Benjamin and Steven, werehere for dinner. Jacob andEmma went to church ina neighboring district andcame over in the afternoon.The family enjoyed the gameAggravation which can getpretty loud when the game isalmost over. Jacob Jr. makesthe Aggravation boards. Onone side four people can playand on the other side six peo-

ple can play. The board is bigand ts a card table. Jacob Jr. had his 16th birth-day on Nov. 17. He has mus-cular dystrophy. He enjoysmaking things from wood.It helps give him an incomesince he doesnt always havework. Sunday evening Verenaand Benjamin took Jacob Jr.along to the youth singingand supper. Daughters Verenaand Loretta have been clean-ing windows here the last few

days. Its nice to have themall cleaned before the snowstarts ying. We have a lot ofwindows in our house. Our church Sunday haschanged now as our churchdivided into two districts. We

had around forty families andnow only have about twentyfamilies in our district. All to-gether we have around sixtyadults and over fty childrenin our district. It looks likechurch services will be heldhere at our place in January.After the holidays we will

need to get busy cleaning. Wealso need to butcher beef andpork sometime. I would beglad if we could get that donebefore we do the cleaning, butwe will see. Last week, my husband Joewas home every day exceptMonday. He was on an antibi-otic for ear infection from thedoctor at work. His ear keptgetting worse so he went tothe local walk-in clinic whenour family doctor couldnt

see him. The clinic doctorgave him another antibioticand medicated ear drops. His temperature was around102 to 103 degrees most ofthe week. He felt a little betterby this past Monday and wentback to work again. But thenhe came home that eveningwith his ear throbbing again. Finally our family doctorwas able to work him in thatevening. He gave Joe a ve-day antibiotic and said he hasuid behind the ears from a

sinus infection. We are hop-ing the ve-day antibioticwill cure it as hes been pret-ty miserable with this pain. Itmakes his whole head hurt. If he doesnt get relief fromthis, the doctor wants him to

come back. This has inter-rupted Joes deer hunting too.I will be glad once hes freefrom all the pain that ear hasgiven him. We are praying for a com-plete recovery of Suzanne (afriend of Verena and Loretta).She was in a bad accident inSouth Africa while on a mis-sion trip from her church. Sheis in critical condition andtwo of her friends died fromthe accident. May God guidethe families through this trag-ic time! Our sympathy to thefamilies of the deceased. Su-zanne is in a hospital in South

Africa. Gods blessings to all. Hereis a different kind of dessertusing pumpkin.

Giving thanks for lifes blessings In the coming week, manyOhioans will gather in cele-bration of Thanksgiving Day.The Thanksgiving holidayhas gradually become knownas a day dedicated to eatinga turkey dinner and watchingfootball. It is important, how-ever, to remember what thisholiday is truly about giv-ing thanks for lifes blessing. The first Thanksgivingwas a celebration betweenPilgrims and Native Ameri-cans, honoring their success-ful harvest as well as theirfriendship. The Pilgrims hadarrived in Massachusettsduring a hard winter, andmany more of them might

have died had it not beenfor the assistance providedby the Native Americans . Infacing such consistent adver-sity, having an abundance offood was certainly cause forthanksgiving. As we sit down to ourThanksgiving meal this year,its important that muchlike the Pilgrims and NativeAmericans, we must set asidethe stress and hardships wemay be facing. With the com-motion of our everyday lives,many of us dwell on the trou-bles we may have rather thancounting all our blessings.Although the blessings thatthe Pilgrims had were few,

they made it a point to slowdown and give thanks for theone blessing that was mostimportant to them food. The Pilgrims serve as theultimate example for grat-itude this Thanksgiving.While we and many of ourfamily and friends may befacing adversity and whatmay seem like an impossiblesituation, I believe each ofus have something positiveto be grateful for. For me, Iam always thankful to havea loving and supportive fam-ily by my side. Thanksgivingprovides us with the time toembrace each others com-pany, and its always an op-

portunity that I cherish. This Thanksgiving, myhope is that you will be ableto slow down and take time toenjoy the holiday with yourloved ones. I hope you areable to reect on the blessingsin your life, and give thanksfor the things that mean themost to you. Most of all, Ihope you have a wonderfuland safe Thanksgiving!

Antwerp School experiences

savings with new lightingBy JOE SHOUSE

Progress Staff Writer ANTWERP In a brief meet-ing of the Antwerp Local Schoolboard a report concerning up-dated lighting was made usingpictures revealing the contrastbetween the old lighting and thenewer LED lighting through-out the school parking lot. Thelighting is much improved andaccording to technology coordi-nator Harold Gottke the new sys-tem will be more cost effective. While exterior lighting contin-ues to improve, the inside light-

ing is also being considered inboth gymnasiums and the audi-toria. Currently a plan is in placeand lighting engineers have beencontacted about how to proceedwith the project. However, hav-ing it installed prior to the newyear is unlikely.

With the lighting improve-ments already made the schoolhas received rebates in theamount of $4,400. Gottke re-ported the new LED lights save12,000 watts per hour of usagecausing the light usage to dropfrom 3 percent to 1.2 percent of

the total electric bill. Superintendent Dr. MartinMiller gave a quick update con-cerning the 2016-17 proposedschool calendar. After input fromteachers and staff it appears thenew calendar will be similar toprevious years. Miller said theone change that will be imple-mented but will have little over-all effect will be the change overfrom days to hours. The state law forces pub-lic schools in Ohio to do this.Hours will be calculated withhigh school students attending a

minimum of 1,001 hours of classwork and the elementary studentsneeding 921 hours, said Miller. The new calendar will be partof the board agenda for Decem-ber and will be voted on at thattime. In other items: District treasurer KristineStuart gave board members up-dated nancial information. Forthe month of October receiptstotaled $970,032.55 with expens-es coming in at $681,262.34. In-terest income totaled $1,650.41.Stuart reported that during Octo-ber the district received its quar-terly income tax total. The third grade reading testsduring the fall will be held onDec. 8-9. The important test mustbe passed by each third grader inorder to prove their prociencyin reading and allowing them tomove to the next grade. Cross vountry assistantcoach Susan Jewell and mem-bers of the cross country teamwere commended for their effortsduring the tournament. AnnieMiesle, Erik Buchan and SamWilliamson all participated in ei-ther the regional or state competi-tion. Students and staff collected545 food items for the Neighborsin Need food drive. The schoolpartnered with two area radio sta-tions with food items being givento local food banks. An overnight trip for theyearbook students was approved.The group will be going to KentState University on April 1-2,2016. New board member SaraSchuette, who will begin her termin January was introduced. Dr. Martin thanked the pub-lic for their support of the incometax renewal levy that passed inearly November. Board presidentDennis Recker also thanked thevoters for his successful re-elec-tion bid.

By JIM LANGHAMFeature Writer

PAULDING The Pauld-ing County Local EmergencyPlanning Committee (LEPC)was recognized by Ohio Ser-vice Response Committee forits efforts in reaching standardsset for county LEPC organiza-tions. Edward Bohn, county LEPCemergency coordinator andcounty EMA director, was onhand in Columbus to receivethe certicate of recognition bythe State of Ohio EPA director

Jeffery Beattie. This came as somewhat ofa surprise to me, said Bohn. Isaid to the person sitting besideme that I could probably leavebecause were not going to getanything. I was stunned when Iheard our name called with thisrecognition. This is only the fth time inthe 25-year history of the OhioSERC that Paulding CountyLEPC has been recognized,said Bohn. The LEPC is comprised of22 members of the public and

private sectors in PauldingCounty who have knowledge

and awareness of planning andresponse to incidents involvinghazardous materials. The purpose of the LEPC isto plan, coordinate and com-municate on issues involvingannual chemical inventoryreporting, plan development,exercise the county hazardousmaterial plan and train rst re-sponders to bring awareness ofcounty hazards to its residents. The data that the LEPC ob-tains is taken and compiled intoa hazardous analysis prolewithin Paulding County. The LEPC RecognitionAward is given to those coun-ties that hold meetings on aregular basis, develop andupdate by-laws, provide anupdated hazardous materialsplan for the county, submit anannual scal report, coordinateand hold an annual hazmat ex-ercise, provide periodic LEPCreports on the given due datesalong with promoting the pur-pose of the countys LEPC. This wouldnt be possiblewithout the skill and hard workof team members serving onour committee, said Bohn.We owe a big thank you to allof those who give of time andeffort for their involvement.

This has been a week likeno other. Trust me, it is sodifcult to be housebound forover a week. It is so ironichow fate can interrupt all ofyour plans and there is justnothing you can do about it. Last week was to be a goodbusy week for me, but onSunday I did not feel goodand by Monday had to go tothe doctor. The diagnosis?

Bronchitis. It appears that thisnasty bug is going around andmaking a lot of people sick. I gured I was a tough oldgal who with the help of twoshots and an antibiotic couldwhip this in a couple days.That was not the case. A weeklater, I am still strugglingwith a cough, no appetite anda case of the doldrums.

People have been especial-ly helpful since I have been aprisoner of this dreaded littlegerm. I was told to drink lotsof uids. Well, I tried. Theonly thing that tasted goodwas water. I think I drank

so much water that I almostdrowned. Then good old chickensoup. I either ate chickensoup or drank the broth untilit was coming out of my ears. You would think that one ofthese would sufce. I was told to grease my feetall over with Vicks salve. Idid get a small jar and I be-lieve I had Vicks from oneend of me to the other. In fact,

I may have to get another jar. With bronchitis comes acough that just doesnt stop.I coughed all day and allnight and was afraid I wouldwake the dead by the dread-ful hacking. First I got coughpills; they seemed to work abit, then the doctor gave mecough syrup. Yuck. One tasteof that cough medicine and Ican see why kids dont like it. One good thing about the

cough syrup was that it hadlike an injector in it. It lookedlike a gadget you would givea shot with. I measured outmy 1 teaspoon, tilted backmy head, opened my mouthand missed. (How could I dothat?) I got part of it downthough, because I sure re-member that taste. Then here comes our rstsnowfall of the season and Ilove snow. But I was on the

inside looking out, wishing Icould get some to make snowcream. Dont get me wrong.I am very appreciative andthankful for the antibioticsand medicines we have tohelp us. I always thought I wouldhave liked to live in the1800s, but I think if I hadbronchitis back then, perhapsI would not have survived.

However, some of the or-dinary things that Grandmaused to cure a cold we stillused today. I can still recallmy old granny making us 10grandkids line up to get ouryearly cold remedy medi-cine. It was horrid and weall cried when we had to takeit. She would probably havebeen put in jail for giving usher remedy today. It was aheaping teaspoon of coal oiland sugar. I cringe today justthinking of it, but I have nottried it yet, so who knows? I will say that I think I amon the mend. With the help of

chicken soup, plenty of uids,Vicks and modern medicine,perhaps I will survive. Today,I am drinking coffee and or-ange juice and I think that apound of chocolate may justcure me. Have you had bronchitisyet this year? How did youtreat it? Did your grandmahave any old remedies? Sendthem to me and I will give youa Penny for Your Thoughts.

Western Buckeye hears positive

report on 21st Century Grant VAN WERT The Western Buckeye ESCgoverning board held its regular monthly boardmeeting and heard the latest update concerningthe 21st Century Grant. Treasurer Kim Jones reviewed the current -nancial reports, investments and the monthly ex-penditures. Superintendent Brian Gerber updated the boardon the current status of the ESC as well as the 21stCentury Grant. Gerber commended grant coordinator AshleyShepherd and her staff on the outstanding workthe 21st Century program is providing the schoolsand students that were awarded the grant. The sites utilizing the grant program includeWayne Trace Jr./High School, Paulding Elemen-tary, Oakwood Elementary, Antwerp Elementary

and Lincolnview Elementary. Each school is suc-cessfully licensed through the Ohio Department ofEducation and fully staffed with certied teachers. We are near or exceeding capacity at all of oursites, two of our elementary sites have waitinglists. We are currently looking into the possibilityof partnering with Deance College for their ed-ucation students to volunteer and earn practicumhours by assisting our staff with small group tutor-ing and homework help, said Gerber. A large portion of the after school program isfocused on providing academic supports for stu-dents, however staff also builds in opportunitiesfor college and career readiness activities andyouth development. The students at WTHS re-cently took a tour of the Paulding County Jail and

met with Sheriff Jason Landers about what it takesto be in law enforcement. P a u l d -ing Elementary students wrote letters thankinglocal veteran s for their service. The letters wereshared at the elementary Veterans Day program.Oakwood students volunteered to rake leaves for afamily in need of assistance. Antwerp Elementaryhosted their rst Family Math Night, titled Wildfor Problem Solving. Families rotated math sta-tions that required them to practice estimation,logic and strategy. Lincolnview Elementary stu-dents recently enjoyed a canvas painting classwith a local artist. This program is very benecial to the studentsin our area. We are fortunate to have this resourcewithin Western Buckeye ESC. It takes dedicated

hard working staff members to make this programsuccessful. We certainly have those high qualitystaff members in place to serve our students viathe 21st Century Grant, concluded Gerber. The following consent items were unanimouslypassed: Extend a one-year limited contract to War-ren Fauver for the position of 21st Century Grantprogram evaluator at a rate of $353.50 per day bytimesheet for the period of Oct. 1, 2-15 June 30,2016.
