Fire destroys Melrose diner

Melinda Krick/Paulding County Progress

Flames are evident in the west window of Uncle Fudd’s Restaurant in Melrose. The call for help came in at 1:48 p.m. and rstresponders from nearly every Paulding County re department spent some time ghting the blaze that destroyed the building. Re-ports say the establishment had closed at 1 p.m., so no one was there when the re started. View an exclusive video on our websiteat www.progressnewspaper.org

By MELINDA KRICK Progress Editor

MELROSE – Seven re departments responded to a blazethat destroyed well-known arearestaurant Uncle Fudd’s in Mel-rose on Friday afternoon.

Oakwood Fire Chief KennyThomas said on Tuesday it ap- pears the re started in one ofthe back rooms of the structure.Although no cause had yet beendetermined, he said it does notappear to be suspicious in origin. Thomas was set to meet astate re marshal at the site lateTuesday morning. “There’s somuch damage, it’s going to behard to pinpoint the cause,” henoted. Oakwood reghters werecalled to the restaurant, locatedon Ohio 637 next to the Norfolk& Southern Railroad, about 1:50 p.m. April 8.

Eventually, they were joined

by units and manpower fromsix other departments: Auglaize,Grover Hill, Paulding, Conti-nental, Cecil/Crane and Payne.Thomas estimates nearly 50 re-ghters responded. Also on scene were a cou- ple of EMS units, the PauldingCounty Sheriff’s Ofce, countyEMA and Red Cross. Ottoville Fire Departmentstood by at Oakwood’s station. No one was in the building atthe time of the re. No injurieswere reported. Thomas said respondersthought they initially had there contained to one room. Thestructure had been altered over

the years with several different

additions and roofs. “It got between the roofs,” thechief said, and ames were dif-cult to reach. Thomas noted that the wind

didn’t help reghting efforts,

and the call came in at shiftchange time, making it challeng-ing to get manpower. Lack of water also was a hin-derance. “We used lots of wa-

ter,” Thomas said. At rst, tank -

ers took water from Oakwood’swater tower, about two milesaway. After that was drained,they began pumping water out ofthe Auglaize River in Oakwood.

Thomas said responders -

nally cleared the scene at about8 p.m. Friday. They were sum-moned again at 6 a.m. Saturdayafter a state trooper passing bynoticed that some hot spots had

rekindled.

Wehrkamp inducted into OSU Animal Sciences Hall of Fame

COLUMBUS – Saturday TheOhio State University Depart-ment of Animal Sciences cele- brated the achievements of thosewho have enhanced student ed-ucation and enriched the animalsciences industry through the an-nual Evening of Excellence pro-

gram at the Nationwide & OhioFarm Bureau 4-H Center.This year, the department in-

ducted Terry Wehrkamp, direc-tor of live production for CooperFarms and an industry leader, intothe Animal Science Hall of Fame.

Recipients of the Animal Sci-ence Hall of Fame recognitionare not only honored for theirindividual success but also theircommitment to their family, lo-cal community, and the broaderrealm of the animal industries.Wehrkamp earned his inductioninto the Hall of Fame through hiscontinued leadership in the agri-cultural community and supportof the next generation of animalscientists.

“Terry is very deserving of

this honor,” said Dr. Henry Zer -

by, chair of the OSU Departmentof Animal Sciences. “His actionsand contributions in supportingthe continued development ofCooper Farms and the agricul-tural industry in general makehim a role model and a leader formany of us to follow.”

Wehrkamp grew up in Smith-ville and went on to graduatefrom OSU in 1982. In 1985,he joined the team at CooperFarms, after working for FosterFarms in California.

Wehrkamp has been a leader

in the industry and at CooperFarms as the director of live pro-duction for the company’s tur-keys, hogs and chickens, wherehe manages the teams caringfor all three species and the feed production.

In his time at Cooper Farms,the company has seen tremen-dous growth in all areas, hasevolved into one of the largestvertically integrated turkey,swine and egg producing com- panies in the U.S.

“Through his over 30 years

at Cooper Farms, Terry has ex-celled in his career in every po-sition and through each promo-tion,” said Gary Cooper, COOof Cooper Farms. “It is very togood to know that his exempla-ry and passionate service towardthe poultry industry has not gone

unnoticed. Terry is very deserv-ing of this honorable award.”While his career at Cooper

Farms has been impressive,what sets Wehrkamp apart fromother successful individuals ishis willingness to give freely ofhis time to outside organizationsat the state, regional and com-munity levels. Wehrkamp has aconsistent history of support for4-H and FFA youth activities.

In addition, he is a strong sup- porter of the OSU Department ofAnimal Sciences and has givennumerous invited lectures andfacilitated many departmentalstudent internships at CooperFarms.

Wehrkamp was awarded theOSU College of Food and Agri-cultural Education DistinguishedAlumni Award in 2010.

“We especially appreciateTerry willingly and generouslysupporting the programs in theDepartment of Animal Sciences;he has impacted several studentsover the years as he has visitedwith them during invited lec-tures, tours, internships, and oth-er events,” Zerby commented.“We congratulate Terry on hisinduction to the Animal SciencesHall of Fame and look forwardto continued interactions withhim in the future.”

Wehrkamp’s community in-volvement is a testament of hisleadership and desire to be anactive member of the commu-nity. Wehrkamp has served onthe board of directors for thePaulding County Carnegie Li- brary, Paulding County FarmBureau, The Ohio State Univer-sity Alumni Club of Van Wertand Paulding Counties and theOhio Poultry Association. He isan active member and supporterof the Midwest Poultry Consor-tium and is also active in severalministries at Divine Mercy Cath-olic Church, Paulding.

A portrait of Wehrkamp will be hung in the Department Hallof Fame in the Animal SciencesBuilding, 20229 Fyffe Road, on

Commissioners: Courthouse

security to be more stringent By DENISE GEBERSProgress Staff Writer

PAULDING – Sometimesoon there will be chang-es coming to the PauldingCounty Courthouse. Theseare expected to increase safe-

ty for those who use the facil-ity and those who work there. According to countyCommissioner Tony Zart-man in a phone conversationMonday, the board has talk-ed about beeng up secu-rity for years and it is theirconsensus that the time hascome to move. “With the times we’reliving in and the things thathave been going on, wefeel it’s necessary to look atmeasures to eliminate possi-

ble future altercations,” hesaid. “It will help reduce liability in the event somethingwould ever happen.” What exactly these mea-sures will be are yet to bedetermined.

“Other courthouses aroundour county have implement-ed various measures: closingall but one entrance during business hours, using metaldetectors and having a dep-uty in the building who mayconduct bag and briefcasesearches are among them,”noted Zartman. Six doors are current-ly open to the courthouseduring ofce hours. While the process is stillin the investigative stage,

many options are being con-sidered. Details of the pos-sibilities were not released.Zartman indicated an opera-tional plan will be set withina month. “The commissioners’ of-

ce wants to be proactive,”he said. “We want to have a plan in place to prevent anysituation. Our goal is to dothis sooner than later. Wefeel the need to move for-ward rapidly on this.” Working with Commis-sioners Zartman, Roy Klop-fenstein and Mark Holtsber-ry on this plan are SheriffJason Landers, ProsecutingAttorney Joe Burkard, andCommon Pleas Court JudgeTiffany Beckman.

What would the Wright Brothers say today? By Byron McNutt

DHI Media If time is relative, then so isour knowledge. In the late 1400s,Christopher Columbus couldn’thave foreseen that ve centu-ries later 40,000 ships would goaround the world every year. Are we any smarter today?

Who today can foretell howmany rockets two centuriesfrom now will zoom to so farundiscovered planets? Nothingso well exemplies “innity” ashuman ignorance. Today’s technology hasmade almost anything possible,whether it be with computers,medical research or space travel.Let’s consider air travel. Just 120 years ago most people thought it was impossibleto y in anything resemblingwhat we now call an airplane.Anyone trying to y was eithercrazy or they had a death wish.In the 1780s man found a way totravel by hot air balloon, but that

wasn’t very practical. Then in 1903 the WrightBrothers ew for the rst time.Look what transpired in the next66 years. Thirty-eight years af-ter the Wright Brothers provedight was possible, the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. Twen-ty-eight years later, in 1969, manlanded on the moon. What seemed impossibleto those visionary adventurers115 years ago is now taken forgranted. Today brave souls soarin ultralights, hang-gliders andeven defy death by ying whilewearing web-winged bodysuits. What do we consider impossi- ble today? I’m sure there are en-gineers, scientists and dreamers

working to prove the impossi- ble possible. As they overcomethe hurdles, they celebrate theachievements and set newgoals.

Who is to say what impos-sible challenges will becomereality in the near future? Whoknows, the next brilliant inven-

tor or visionary might be gettingthe inspiration they need in ourlocal elementary schools.

• • • If you doubt that ve percentcan exert an overwhelming in-uence, consider this: About 95 percent of the human body isstructured almost identically in both the male and the female. In humans, each cell normal-ly contains 23 pairs of chromo-somes, a total of 46. Twenty-twoof those pairs look the same in both males and females. The23rd pair are the sex chromo-somes. Consider these facts. Thereare only seven colors in a rain-

bow. Yet, what we can do and produce with those seven colorsis incredible. There are only seven notes inmusic, yet composers have usedthose seven notes to make beau-tiful music. There are only 10 basic numbers, yet look at what can bedone with those numbers. There are just 26 letters in ouralphabet, but they can be usedto create several hundred thou-sand words and those words canexpress billions of thoughts. Want to be amazed? Can youdisprove these mathematicalfacts? Since Pluto was discovered,it hasn’t yet completed its orbit

around the Sun. It will take until2178 for that to occur. There are more stars in spacethan there are grains of sand onevery beach on Earth. Closer to home, there isenough water in Lake Superiorto cover all of North and SouthAmerica in one foot of water.

There are more atoms in aglass of water than glasses ofwater in all the oceans on Earth.Keep in mind, Earth’s surfaceis 75 percent water, and thoseoceans are very deep. Some people will believethese facts but will not believethe sign saying “Don’t Touch,The Paint Is Wet.”

• • • Cyber security issues have ourtop brainiacs working night andday. These top tech engineerswant to solve computer securitychallenges such as encryption,industrial control systems, dig-ital identify, breaches and howto stump evil black hat hackers.

Cisco Systems CEO CarlBass isn’t very optimistic. Hewas quoted recently by USAToday with the following. “I don’t think we will ever getto the point where nothing can be broken. Go back in history.There were locks and peoplewho picked locks. There weresecret codes and code breakers.There were safes built to with-stand safe crackers, but theyfailed. These things will always be able to be broken,” Bass said.

• • • Several weeks ago formerTreasury Secretary Larry Sum-mers suggested the U.S. stop production of $100 bills. Thiswould deprive criminals of their

favorite form of currency usedin transactions. Authorities sayonly two percent of average cit-izens carry or use $100 bills ona daily basis. Author-columnist BobGreene recent wrote some in-teresting statistics provided bythe U.S. Mint. It’s been 13 years

since the mint has manufac-tured and released for generalcirculation 50-cent pieces. This year, the mint will pro-duce around nine billion pen-nies. They will stamp around2.5 billion quarters, almost 3 billion dimes and 1.5 billionnickels. Because of the costof metals, it will cost more foreach of the coins than is the facevalue. As new technologies devel-op, like paying with Smart- phones, we will likely see theelimination of all paper andmetal money from circulation.Even the use of plastic creditcards might be eliminated in an

effort to foil cyber criminals.

Columnist reveals what Lovina’s

been cooking in the kitchen

APPLE DANISH: The food photographer plans to feature Lovina’s Apple Danish pastry with ice cream

in an outside shot snapped on the Eicher front porch. Lucas Landis and Tara Swartzentruber-Landis areserving as main photographer and food stylist, respectively, for Lovina’s new cookbook.

Editor’s Note: Lovina Eich-er is taking vacation while herchildren are on spring break.Guest columnist is Melodie Da-vis, one of the editors at Men-noMedia/Herald Press which syndicates Lovina’s column. I walked into Lovina’s kitchenon a beautiful October morn-ing last fall to a hive of women

cooking up a storm. A breakfastcasserole was in the oven andsome cookies were already cool-ing - and the coffee was on. Twohuge bushels of apples sat overat the edge of the kitchen. Lovina, plus her daughtersVerena and Loretta, were busymixing and stirring. A man bythe name of Lucas Landis wastaking pictures as the Eichersworked – all without actually photographing faces or even backs. Most of us understandthat Amish generally do not posefor any photographs as part oftheir faith and custom, aimingfor simplicity in life and spirit(avoiding pride and boasting).

What was the kitchen humabout that morning? If you ha-ven’t guessed it yet, Lovina is producing an Amish-themedcookbook, the rst one of herown in about four years. We atHerald Press are thrilled! It will be all her own recipes (asidefrom some, of course, sent byreaders or obtained from friendsand relatives – Lovina has morecousins than we can count) buteach recipe will be tested andadapted by Lovina and her “En-glish” friend Ruth Boss, plus aclutch of volunteer cooks fromRuth’s church. I was pleased to also meetRuth that morning, who arrived

a bit later and had stopped at anearby Amish bakery to buysweet rolls, long johns and oth-er delicacies for the work day.Ruth quipped, “They’ll have to

carry us out of here,” becauseshe knew just how plentiful anddelicious the food would be thatday. You may recall Ruth writ-ing a guest column for Lovinalate last summer on daughterElizabeth’s wedding so Lovinacould catch her breath. Some of the dishes Lovinaand daughters made that day in-cluded Shoo Fly pie, apple pie,apple danish, carrot cake, M&Mcookies, potato pancakes, vege-table soup and more. She hadscheduled three such “cookingdays” last fall – in addition toeverything else that Lovinadoes in a normal busy week.

Let me add that I was utterlyamazed at how well and howmuch Lovina’s teenage daugh-ters helped – they were in thekitchen all day cooking variousrecipes – all under Lovina’swatchful instruction. Whenthey weren’t cooking, theywere constantly washing dish-es. Which is where Ruth and I jumped in – rinsing and dryingthe dishes, pans, and utensils! I put my hands in that steamy hotwater and it felt like home – thewonderful hot water I love forcleaning dishes. The name of Lovina’s newcookbook is The Essential Amish Kitchen: Everyday Rec-

ipes from Farm and Pantry. Acookbook takes extra-long to“cook up” so it comes out inApril 2017. We hope you’llwant one to use whenever you

want a taste of good homecooking from farm and pantry!The book will be sold onlineand at bookstores everywhere.Lovina’s column, along withher blog and Facebook page,will keep you posted on whenit’s available for preorder. Writing her weekly columnand producing a cookbook like

this is Lovina’s way of earn-ing extra money for her fam-ily - which she can do right inher own home like many otherAmish women in their cottageindustries. And so many men,too, have businesses on the sideor full time, now that it is sodifcult to support a family onfarm income. Family farms are small thesedays and land is hard to come by. We appreciate readers – andnewspapers – being part of thisextended family and communi-ty. We know readers enjoy sittingdown once a week to enter intoa little of Lovina’s family life,and learn from the strong faith

she shares with us all. One man,who reads Lovina’s column on-line, said, “I [nd] myself greatly blessed and refreshed.” I’ll share one of my own fa-vorite recipes, adapted from an-other classic Mennonite cookbook, More-with-Less Cook-book , for oatmeal bread.

OATMEAL BREAD1 cup quick oats1/2 cup whole wheat our 1/2 cup brown sugar 1 tablespoon salt2 tablespoons butter or mar-garine Combine above ingredients ina large bowl. Pour 2 cups boilingwater over mixture, stirring to

combine. Separately dissolve:2 packages dry yeast in1/2 cup warm water When batter is cooled to luke-warm, add the yeast mixture. Stirin 5-1/2 cups white our (you’ll probably add another 1/2 cup inkneading). When dough is stiff,turn onto a oured board andknead 5-10 minutes. Place ingreased bowl, cover, and let riseuntil doubled. Punch down andlet rise again. Shape into 2 loavesand place in greased 9x5x3-inch pans. Bake at 350° for 25-30minutes. Cool on rack. Brushloaves with butter or margarinefor a soft crust.

criteria for the shared superintendent’s posi-tion. They desired a highly qualied candidatewho had experience as a superintendent andunderstands, or is willing to learn the businessworld of an ESC. Previous school district super-intendent experience was desired/preferred andthe ideal candidate would agree to longevity/commitment for stability of both organizations.

A small list of candidates were identied,invited to have conversations to seek interest,and then interviewed. They desired to nd theright candidate who had the experience, ex-cellent people skills, strength in instructional practices, diplomacy, networking, communi-cation, and legislative protocol and connec-tions. They strongly believe Arnold posseses thenecessary criteria for a successful superinten-dency.Equal service to districts This collaboration is not a merger, it is a partnership. It will allow both ESCs to in-crease their capacity in many ways. 1. It will create a stronger network of collab-oration with school psychologists; special ed-ucation directors; curriculum directors; gifted

education coordination; physical, occupationaland speech therapists. 2. Create a stronger grant writing network as both ESCs align to team with each other thatwill allow a broader network to secure poten-tial and future grants. 3. Local superintendent and principal net-working regarding programs, stafng, scalresources, evaluations and negotiations. 4. Bus driver in-service and training. 5.
