PAULDING – Nearly 200hundred acres of Miami Canal

property in Paulding County

may soon be under PauldingCounty Parks District manage-ment. Last week, three Ohio De-

partment of Natural Resources(ODNR) of cials met at thePaulding County Courthousewith parks board chairmanDamien Morales, Probate/Ju-venile Judge John DeMuth andcounty Engineer Travis Mc -Garvey. They discussed stepsneeded for the parks district toacquire the land from ODNR. By the end of the meeting,the state of cials said they willstart working on a lease agree-ment for the short term, and alsowill initiate the process to deed

the canal property to the parksdistrict. The parks district, which re -organized a year ago, is dedicat-ed to the advancement of public

parks, recreation and conserva-tion. Board members have beentaking steps to acquire several

parcels, such as the old canal. Paul Baldridge, chief of

ODNR’s Of ce of Real Estate,told the group that canal real es-tate issues are a challenge. Thestate acquired land for the canalsin the Act of 1825; however, the

state seldom recorded its proper-ty interests in county courthous-es. ODNR assumed responsi-

bility for all state-owned canallands in 1989, and the Division

of Water operates all hydrauli-cally active sections. Many people have claimedownership of canal property, butBaldridge said that a Governor’s

Deed is proof that the state actu-ally sold its interest. The Miami Canal was anorth-south waterway that con-nected Cincinnati and Tole -

do in the state’s early history.Although canal construction began in 1825, the entire routedidn’t open until 1845. The ca -nal operated until around 1912. In Paulding County, the canalcorridor remains fairly intact.Brian Mitchell, ODNR canalmanager, said only four leasesare active in the county – twofor power lines for AEP andtwo for farms for drainage. Baldridge said that any pro-

posed acquisition by the parksdistrict would be reviewed byinterested trail and historical ad-vocates, such as Buckeye TrailAssociation and Miami-ErieCanal Corridor Association

(MECCA). He believes bothgroups would be in favor of the park district’s objectives. “We want to build on whatthey’re doing,” Morales noted.“We hope to be an extension ofthose organizations.” MECCA is dedicated to rais-

PAULDING – The ground breaking for

the new $7.5 million full service mainte -nance facility was held on Monday morn-ing at the current Paulding County facilitylocation at 833 Wayne Street. Personnel from the Ohio Department ofTransportation – district 1 of ce were onhand to signify the beginning of construc-tion of several buildings that are scheduledto be completed next spring. Kirk Slusher, District 1 Deputy Directoroffered comments to those in attendance.The statewide facility plan has been in

progress for two to three years according

to Slusher and the main focus for comingtogether on Monday morning was to let ev-eryone know that ODOT is here to stay.

The older, outdated buildings were builtin 1948 and 1966 and will be replaced withan up-to-date facility to meet the state’shighway maintenance needs.

The impressive facility will include a32,000 square foot maintenance garageand will feature additional truck storagecompared to the older facility; an upgrad -ed above-ground fuel system, decantingstation for disposal of catch basin waste,expanded mechanic’s area to provide spaceneeded to work on large equipment, and atwo-truck wash bay.

“We have a seven acre site that will havetwo entrances to the facility and will haveseparate traf c areas for truck parking and

parking for smaller vehicles,” said highwaymanagement administrator Rod Nuveman. In addition to the larger maintenance

building, there will be a new 13,000 squarefoot salt dome that will replace the old unit.The new dome will have a 4,000-ton capac -ity and will store up to 25 percent more thanthe existing storage facility.

Noggle optimistic farmers’ wheels will turn this week

ing awareness of the historical,educational, recreational andnatural value of the canal green-way. Portions of the Miami-ErieCanal towpath are currently

part of the Buckeye Trail andthe North Country Trail. Southof Paulding County, a 54-milecanal section between Delphosand Piqua is popular for hikingand other uses. Baldridge said the parks dis-trict will need to consider theenvironmental, recreational,historical and economic de-velopment value of the canalwhen developing for public use.The canal “prism” – the crosssection of the canal, width anddepth – has considerable histor-ic importance to some groupsand individuals, he said. Baldridge advised that the

parks district makes sure it hasstrong community support anddevelops the area in a way that’sconsistent with that support andstakeholder interest. He advisedvisiting the ODNR website fordetails on the acquition proce-dure and the needed forms. If the land is transferred to the

parks district, the document willcontain a permanent clause sothat the property would revert

the same location,” said RossLaukhuf, transportation admin-istrator for Paulding County. Slusher made note that cur-rently the employees of theODOT Paulding County garagehave been and will continueto work out of their temporarylocation at 356 W.

proved the parks district reorga-nization in December 2014, saidhe is excited about the prospectof the entity obtaining the land. The parks district also is

poised to acquire several sitesalong the Maumee River, suchas the former New RochesterPark on old US 24 near Cecil.They also want to promote,highlight and market recre-ational opportunities along theMaumee and Auglaize rivers.Morales said one objective isto make the Maumee River thelongest water trail in the state.

ANTWERP – An ordinance allow -ing the village to attempt the sale of twolots within the village and a one-yearextension of the village’s agreementwith Real Waste Disposal passed at theMonday night Antwerp Village Coun-cil meeting.

Council also heard from two members of the Rotary Club concerning thenew tennis court upgrades and proceed-ed to make a contribution to the proj-ect. Village administrator Sara Keeranalso shared exciting information aboutthe planned water trail for the MaumeeRiver. For the second time, the village willadvertise for the sale of two lots on Os-walt Street. This time there will be nominimum bid required. The lots willadvertise for ve weeks, according toKeeran. The village has completed its rstyear with Real Waste Disposal as its

provider. The original agreement al -

lows the village to extend the agree-ment for four successive one-year pe-riods. Council passed a one-year exten-sion with no cost increase. “Real Waste has done a great job inthe village and works closely with myof ce and the utility billing clerk onmove-ins and move-outs,” said Keeran. Floyd Ramsier and Don Oberlin up-

dated council on the new tennis courtthat is being constructed where the oldcourt now stands. Some preliminary work has alreadystarted but the major project will beginMay 10. Cost of the court is estimatedat $21,500 plus an additional $2,800for the color coated sealer that will be

placed on the coat. Funding for the tennis court are com-ing in but the Rotary members askedthe village for nancial support for the

project. After discussion, the boardunanimously passed a motion to donatean amount not to exceed $5,000 for thecoating portion of the project. Keeran, Mayor Ray DeLong and

park board member Mark Greenwoodattended a recent meeting in Watervilleto discuss the possibility of establish-ing a state designated water trail ofthe Maumee River through ve Ohiocounties, including Paulding County,from the Indiana line to Lake Erie. The park board has been workingto develop a canoe and kayak launch

in Riverside Park and this would be agreat opportunity for the village to part-ner with the other counties in develop-ing the water trail, according to Keeran. “At the meeting, the Ohio Depart-ment of Natural Resources (ODNR)spoke to us and said that once a statedesignation to the Maumee River wasgiven, the river access sites would beeligible to access ODNR funds for sig-nage, brochures, maps, and access de-velopment assistance,” said Keeran. The meeting was very encouraging,according to Keeran and Mayor De-Long. All counties are on board andcommitted to participate in the project.Toledo Metropark will coordinate fu -

ture meetings and has already devel-oped a map to include all the proposedand current access points along theriver. Keeran informed council that she hassubmitted to Maumee Valley PlanningOrganization a Community Develop-ment Block Grant (CDBG) applicationfor funding in the amount of $20,000

for a new roof at the re department.If the grant is received the village willthen match the grant with an additional$11,900 to fund the project that would

be done next year. The village continues to work on anordinance that will spell out the mini-mum housing standards. The villageis considering several options as theywork through the process including ahousing inspector. The village planning commissionand Poggemeyer Design Group is inthe process of reviewing the languageof a new zoning ordinance that willallow for the development of commer-cial zoning for the South Erie Street

property.Three business districts are being

considered as a part of the zoning plan.B-1 would include the downtown busi-ness district; B-2 would be the GatewayCommercial district located near U.S.24; B-3 would be a general commercialdistrict which would provide for areaswhere general suburban-scale commer-

cial development is desired and wouldserve the needs of local residents andvisitors. With council approval, the planningcommission recommended that thethree districts be amended for the zon-ing map. A public hearing will be heldon Thursday, May 12 at 5 p.m. in thetown hall for the purposed of these pro-

posed amendments. Police Chief George Clemens re-

ported that 86 calls for service werereceived in March and 29 offenses re-

ported to Mayor’s Court. EMS made 38 runs in March witha total of 87 recorded during the rstthree months of the year.

Warm temperatures this weekend have local farmers thinkingabout getting into their elds. Corn and bean crops will be putinto the ground soon; fertilizers and herbicides will be appliedas planting season begins in force.

By JIM LANGHAMFeature Writer

PAULDING – PauldingCounty’s Ohio State Universi-ty Extension agent Sarah Nog-gle said early this week thatthere will be wheels rollingin Paulding County elds thisweek. Although there is specu-lation of showers late in theweek, Noggle said she believesthat soil is to the point nowwhere, if rains aren’t heavy,farmers would be able to get

back into the elds by theweekend. “Weather patterns have

been so back and forth,” said Noggle. “I know that thereare farmers that are saying,‘Should I go or wait?’ I seeearly spring activity pickingup. There is cover crop termi -nation. “As long as the ground isnot saturated, with Senate BillOne, I’m sure that we’ll seesome manure application,”continued Noggle.

One of Noggle’s initial con-cerns is the continued penetra-tion of mare’s tail in the county. “People need to get ahold ofthis earlier rather than later,”said Noggle. Noggle said that mare’s tail

plants overwinter in the ro-sette stage and remain in thislow-growing stage throughApril, followed by stem elon-gation and growth to an even-tual height of three to six feet.It is most easily controlledwhen in the seedling or ro-

sette stage. “Mare’s tail competes withthe soybeans throughout thegrowing season and reducescrop yield,” observed Noggle.“It matures in late summeror early fall and large mature

plants can interfere with soy- bean harvest.” Another invasive plant thathasn’t yet been seen in Pauld-ing County is Palmer ama-ranth. It is native to the south-west but has recently becomea devastating weed problem in

the south and has been seen inthe upper Midwest. “In the south, they are cur-rently burning entire elds offto try to get rid of this unwel-come invasive,” said Noggle.“If anyone thinks they recog-nize this, please report it imme-diately. I haven’t seen any inthe county but it is somethingto keep our eyes open for. “We can provide testingthrough Ohio State,” continued

Noggle. “The biggest concernin testing right now is whetheror not it is herbicide resistant ornot. You need to call our of ceif you would like to do somesampling.” Noggle said that one of her

biggest concerns is to have asafe planting season. “Be extra careful in the

elds and on the roads,” said Noggle. “All drivers need to be careful and respectful offarm machinery.” Noggle said that each Mon-day during the planting season,she will be having a 9 a.m. con-ference call with the OSU Ex-tension Department in Colum-

bus. She encourages anyonewith questions about the calls,or who has something theywould like for her to researchin the calls, to contact her in thelocal of ce. “We’ve got plenty of soilmoisture right now, plenty toget the planting done,” said

Noggle. “We’re still okay.Each new spring brings aboutchallenges for people to takeon in learning different practic-es. We learn as we go.”

Spring garage sales yield bountiful bargains

The Eichers grilled 30 pounds of chicken when they hadguests on Friday evening.

Joseph, 13, Lovina, 11,and Kevin, 10, went back toschool this week after beingoff a week for spring break.The weather wasn’t anythingspring-like! We had sever-al inches of snow and coldweather most of the week. Our three sons – Benjamin,Joseph, and Kevin – attendedhunter safety classes and eldday. It was cold and snowingthat Saturday. All three boyscame home excited that they

passed the safety course. Thatmade all the homework theydid on hunting worth all thetime and effort they put into it. Kevin was excited that hegot to shoot off a shotgun.He had never shot more thana BB gun. Kevin came hometelling us all about the rules helearned. I was really surprisedthat they all passed. This willmake me feel better when theygo hunting with someone, butaccidents can still happen.You can’t be careful enoughwhen hunting. Daughter Verena has beengoing with my sister Verenaon housecleaning jobs the lastfew weeks. I miss her helphere at home. Verena, 18, isglad to earn a little extra cash,as she is saving up to buy aYorkie puppy. She loves dogsand has always wanted herown puppy. They are expen-sive, so she is saving every

penny. While the children wereon spring break, sisters Vere-na and Susan brought supperin for us one evening. They

brought wings to put on thegrill for hot wings and also ja-lapeño and banana peppers togrill. Along with that we hadsteamed potatoes, dandelionsour cream salad, and slicedcolby cheese. They broughtthis as a thank you to the chil-dren for doing their choreswhile they were in Floridaearlier this spring. Daughter Susan, 20, hasher evenings busy training her

pony, Tough Boy. Son Ben- jamin is helping her get himstarted, as he’s a little too muchfor a girl to handle. Tough Boyis giving her a hard time withthe training. They are able tohitch him to the pony cruisernow and drive him on the road.This helps wear him down sohe’s not so rowdy. I really dohope he will turn out to be agood pony for Susan. She hasrun a lot of miles behind that

pony already, teaching him thecommands for driving. My sister Emma, daughtersLoretta and Elizabeth and Ihad a fun day “garage saling”at some Amish houses in acommunity about a half hourfrom here. There were around26 garage sales all within afew county road blocks. Wehad a lot of fun and got a lotof bargains. I feel like I savedmyself weeks of sewing. I

bought around 20 pairs of pantsfor the three boys. Some arefor Ben to work in, some arefor the boys to wear to schooland quite a few are good dress

pants. I could never have madeall these for this price. The

pants were anywhere from 50cents to $4 apiece. I also wasable to get quite a few dressesfor the girls. Friday evening, our sup-

per guests were Joe’s sister

Christine, her husband Jakeand their nine children fromHersey, Mich. Our whole fam-ily was home as well, so wehad a nice time together. Joegrilled 30 pounds of chickenand the girls and I made pizzacasserole. Christine broughtthe dessert: dirt pudding andchocolate chip cookies. Joe’ssister Loretta and Henry weregoing to come, but ended up athome with sick children. God’s blessings! This weekI’ll share a recipe for maple

Paulding Council discussesupdating parking ordinances


PAULDING – Paulding Village Council metin regular session on April 4. Downtown two-hour parking and parking lot enforcement wereaddressed, discussion of real estate signs in vil-lage right-of-way seems to be in con ict basedon a 2007 ordinance, and the meter replacement

project is on schedule and will soon be underway. Councilman Ryan Mapes reported on thestreet committee meeting held on March 23.Items that were discussed: • Traf c for John Paulding Days will haveto be redirected during the normal parade routedue to construction in town. The alternate routewould utilize Water and Jackson streets, Emer-ald Road and Dooley Drive for access aroundtown back to U.S. 127. This will require ad-ditional manpower that Police Chief RandyCrawford felt the department can handle. • The county commissioners have haveasked the police department to enforce the

parking lot at the southwest corner of Perry andMain streets. This parking lot is for approved

parking granted by the commissioners’ of ce;otherwise tickets can be issued. • Current ordinances for two-hour park -ing are being reviewed with updates coming.Eventually, one ordinance will be in place oncereviewed by the village solicitor to determine iflegislation can be combined into one ordinance,along with any changes that may be recom-mended. • The road repair work from Phase 2 will

begin as soon as the asphalt plant is open for hotmix material. Also, Jones and Henry is lookinginto the paving and patching areas for and deter-mining options recommendations for ef cientrepairs. • Snow removal on sidewalks has becomea question for future planning. Currently, thevillage has an estimated 2,100 feet of sidewalkthrough village. • The village utilities roller is in need ofmajor repairs due to unforeseen issues. Theestimated repair cost is excessive comparedto the value of the roller. It was recommendedthat renting be an option to help with this year’sstreet repairs and to establish what the currentroller is worth. Councilman Randy Daeger reported that themowing and trimming contract agreement withDaniel Vance needs to be approved for anotheryear. After a few minor changes, the councilunanimously approved the contract. Finance Director Annette Hasch asked forconsensus of council if anyone would like tohave a hearing regarding liquor permit renewalobjections. Consensus was that no hearings are

needed. Harry Wiebe presented the administrator’sagenda consisting of the following items: • The meter replacement project is movingforward. The project was scheduled to be bidApril 6 and 13 with a bid opening at noon April26. • Last year at this time, the village enteredinto a “memorandum of understanding” withthe Paulding Soil and Water Conservation Dis-trict to provide technical assistance to the vil-lage through the phases of upgrading the waterdistribution mapping system. The village wouldlike to continue the assistance and expand it inthis year to include GPS locations for re hy -drants and watch valves. The annual terms ofthe agreement is $4,800. • A copy of a Jobs and Commerce EconomicDevelopment Agreement between the Ohio De-

partment of Development and the Village re-lated to the Gasser Road/U.S. 127 intersection

project. • Water and sewer assessments for resi -dences owned by Jaimie L. Larson and SonyaM. Geckle. • Wiebe and Hasch have met with the OhioPlan Insurance Pool agent, as well as severalcouncil members, regarding annual renewal. The administrator’s agenda was passed withall members present voting in favor with RyanMapes abstaining. Wiebe also mentioned that many real estatesigns have been put up in the village right-of-way. He and the zoning inspector have lookedat the ordinance the village passed in 2007.There appears to be some con icting rules forreal estate signs. It was recommended by solic-itor Mike Jones that this situation be discussedin a safety committee meeting. Mayor Greg Reinhart relayed that the parkingticket revenue for March was $200. Mayor’sCourt collected $685 for the month of March. Mapes suggested that the building andgrounds committee meet to discuss the roofleaks at the utility shop. County Commissioner Mark Holtsberry wasa guest at the council meeting.

From Baby to Graduate It seemed like just a few short years...

Breakfast for supper Sitting here thinking aboutwhat I want for breakfast isalways fun and interesting.My usual “go to” breakfast iseither cookies, toast, Pop Tarts,eggs or hot cereal. I was al-ways taught that breakfast wasthe most important meal of theday, especially the coffee. Yes,there are a lot of coffee drink-ers who must have that rst cupof caffeine to get woke up inthe morning. I am one of those. I see now that one of thefast food chains are offeringtheir breakfast menus all daylong. After all, isn’t break-fast supposed to be a morningmeal? Not anymore. Some ofus, including myself, love thethought of cooking breakfastfor supper. There is nothing

better for an evening meal thansome bacon, eggs, home fries,toast or biscuits, topped off bya glass of orange juice. Not everyone indulges inthe morning waker-upper,coffee. Many like the old En-glish beverage, a spot of tea.However, there is not alwaystime for breakfast and differentfood items are hurriedly pickedup to eat. One of the popularfoods being eaten for breakfastis cold pizza. If your stomachcan handle pizza in the morn-ing, this may be the breakfastfor you. In fact, you can makeyour own breakfast pizza ifyou have time. One thing I found inter-esting was seeing what othercountries eat for breakfast. (Ofcourse, I like to know what ev-eryone has good to eat.) If youhave a queasy stomach and youhappen to travel to one of thesevarious places, you may wantto skip breakfast. Right here inthe United States, the preferredmeat for breakfast in Alaska isreindeer meat. Oh, no! PoorRudolph. The ideal breakfastin this state is the reindeer anda cooked egg nestled in a pan-cake. If I did not know it wasreindeer, I could possibly eat it. In Japan, it is tofu soaked insoya sauce along with rice and

sh and you have one so-calleddelicious breakfast. Breakfast in India consistsof Indian tofu scramble, lentils,vegan sausage and hot peppertoast. (I think this may not betoo bad.) If you are planning a visit to

Ghana, your morning breakfastdish will be waakye. It soundssuspicious, but it is actually

just rice and beans. Over inThailand, a choice breakfast isspicy shwith a sweet and sour pork andserved with rice. Moving on to Australia,the main ingredient travelingAussies may carry in a back-

pack is a thick, brown salty paste which they spread ontoast. It is called Vegemite. If you ever eat your morningmeal in Turkey, you will getcheese, butter, olives, toma-toes, cucumbers, honey and aspicy meat. (No thanks for thatin the morning.) In Mexico, nachos, rice, cheeseand beans are featured with beeftips and chiliquiles. Yes, and eggsmay also be included. (I could eat

this for supper.) In Germany, the rst meal ofthe day is usually a wurst, localcheeses, homemade bread anda good strong coffee. We all like French cuisine, soin France, breakfast is usually acroissant packed with almonds,

butter, chocolate or cream. In Columbia, a dish calledchangua is served for break-fast. It is made with milk, scal-lions and cheese. Over in Scotland, the Scot-tish are fond of haggis, friedeggs and square sausagescalled Lome. What is haggis?It happens to be sheep’s heart,liver and lungs all minced upand mixed with oatmeal, suet,salt and some stock. No thanksto haggis. All of these breakfasts fromforeign places may be verygood and tasty, but as for me,I still prefer Pop Tarts, toast orcookies. Well, it is close to lunch time,so I believe I will eat some real

breakfast now. I believe I willhave bacon and eggs. Do you think breakfast is the

best meal of the day? Have youever ate anything weird likehaggis or milk with scallions?Do you like xing breakfastfor supper? Let me know andI’ll give you a Penny for yourThoughts.

The full circles of aging A unique happening of ourmarriage is the fact that our

birth dates occur side by side.I was born on April 1, 1948and Joyce was born on April 2,1950. This year, my birthdayhad a serendipitous surprisewaiting. At noon on April 1, whileI was out of town, I receiveda phone call from Joyce inwhich she stated, “Jim, I’vegot a really big surprise foryour birthday.” When I was pastoring EastGilead Missionary Church inBranch County, Mich., I droveto Elkhart, Ind. every Mondaynight for many years to serveas the pastoral representativefor the conference’s ChristianDivorced Singles Ministry.Occasionally, members of thatsupport group would fall inlove and would end up gettingmarried, often by me. One of those couples wasJohn and Nancy Cook, who,ironically, were married byme on April 1, 1988, 28 yearsago at Beulah MissionaryChurch in Elkhart. To our sur-

prise, they decided to nd usand shocked us by taking usout for supper on April 1, my

birthday, but their 28th wed-ding anniversary. In the evening, we met at aFort Wayne restaurant for this

joyful birthday surprise. Fornearly two hours, long lostmemories were brought backas we re ected on those dayswhen I was involved in thatgroup. They shared incidentsof their lives in the past 28years and we shared the past28 years in our lives. It was anaging “full circle” of birthdayand anniversary celebration, areally special blessing of ag-ing. As I re ected on the “agingcircle” mystique, I recalleda birthday in my childhoodin which April 1 fell on Eas-ter. I speci cally remembermy mother saying to me atthe time, “the next time your

birthday falls on Easter, youwill be 70 years old.”

To me at the time, the thoughtwas unfathomable. I won-dered what life would be likeat that time. The thought ofher statement at that time was

both intriguing and sad. I re-alized then that my parentswould probably be gone, mygrandma would be gone andlife would be well on its wayfor me, if, in fact, I would still
