PAULDING – The first phase ofthe Paulding County Hospital re-modeling project is now complete.An open house for hospital employ-ees was held on Thursday, March 28,to unveil the large new emergencyroom area. Staff members are veryexcited about this state-of-the-artproject as they now have more spaceand modern equipment which makesit more convenient for patients.

There are currently five examina-tion rooms instead of four. There isalso a glassed in centralized nursesstation so the nursing staff can seeinto each room. The nursing stationis light, roomy and convenient. TheER is equipped with a patient rest-room as well as a break room andrestroom for staff.

A total of 800 square feet wasadded to the ER, bringing the totalspace utilized to 2,000 square feet asother space was repurposed.

Two sets of exterior doors havebeen added which will create an airlock and will keep the cold air from

coming directly into the facility.The facility is staffed with person-

nel 24/7.CEO Gary Adkins said, “We are

very excited to have this Phase Onecomplete. This was actually in theplanning stage five years ago. Thestaff is moving their supplies in todayand we are all very excited.”

“The new Emergency Departmentis working out well, said LisaNicelley, RN, Emergency Room su-pervisor. “There are a few growingpains, staff has to get used to wheresupplies are, etc., but overall, the pa-tients really seem to appreciate theenhanced privacy and roomy sur-roundings.

“The large nursing station is a bigimprovement and the staff is reallyimpressed with the fact that they canmonitor all of their patients more ef-ficiently,” Nicelley added.

Marketing director BrendaWieland was very proud of the newER, stating that it was a very excitingtime for the hospital and community.

Wieland also noted that this wouldbe one of the biggest projects com-

pleted by the hospital since theMedical Office Building was added.

Patients can now enter the ER atthe back drive-up entrance or bywalking into the main lobby.

In the next phase of the buildingproject, the testing lab will be perma-nently moved to the east end of thebuilding. A pneumatic tube, similarto what the banks use, will be used tosend blood draws and reports to thelab from the draw area without hav-ing to manually transport it.

The final phase of the project willinclude the addition of a traumaroom. The space for this area will betaken from the former lab next doorto the ER.

When all phases are complete,seven exam rooms will be available.The room that will be finished inPhase 3 will have two rooms withfolding glass doors that can be madeinto one large trauma room for mul-tiple patients.

Projected total cost of the ER/labrenovation and expansion is $1.2million. Completion is scheduled forthis summer.

A record number ofteams participated in the 24-hourevent held at the PayneElementary School (126) andmost important, the event netted arecord $10,400. All money profit-ed from this year’s Marathon willgo to assist the efforts of thePaulding County Society forCrippled Children and Adults.

“This was a nice smoothmarathon in every way,” saidPressler. “The weather undoubt-edly helped us. Good weather al-ways contributes to a goodMarathon.

“It helped us that people knewat the door what the purpose ofthe Marathon was. They realizedthat they were making a donationand what for. Some years we haveto explain things, but this year,everyone seemed to be focused onthe purpose of the Marathon,”Pressler said.

Pressler said that she is thankfulfor the money to bolster the soci-ety’s funds. She noted that thereare many things in PauldingCounty where there is not assis-tance available.

“We are able to offer severalservices, including limited medi-cine assistance. We can also helpguide them to potential assistancewhen the medications are moreexpensive,” added Pressler.

Paulding Council considering one-way street to help school trafficBy BILL SHERRY

CorrespondentPAULDING – Damage from

trucks, congested traffic around theschool and a vacancy on the recre-ation committee had PauldingVillage Council’s attention duringits regular meeting Monday, April 1.

Councilman Randy Daeger ad-vised council that there had beendiscussion at the recent street com-mittee meeting regarding truck traf-fic on village streets. Complaintshave been raised regarding trucksmaking short turns and leaving hugetracks in various yards. The villagestreet committee decided that vari-ous streets should be designated astruck routes.

The street committee also dis-cussed traffic at the school and rec-ommended to council that the blockon Jefferson Street between WaterStreet and Main Street should bemade a one-way street going west.

Daeger told council that currentlythere is a terrible bottleneck onJefferson when kids are dropped offor picked up. Daeger told councilthat Police Chief Randy Crawfordhas agreed with the recommendation.

Council unanimously approved thestreet committee report and sched-uled a street committee meeting at5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, April 16 to dis-cuss both the truck traffic and one-way street. Village solicitor MikeJones was asked to draft legislation

for the one-way street situation.The recreation committee met

last week to discuss how the verywet spring was affecting variousball schedules. The immediate solu-tion was presented to council thatthe junior high boys can play onField 2 at the reservoir to get ondrier ground. They may have to putin 80 foot base pegs if they are notthere already. Also, the high schoolor junior high girls could play at thereservoir instead of Jeffery Park ifJeffery Park was too wet.

The committee discussed pickingup branches at the reservoir parkwith Bruce Whitman and also dis-cussed where the village would likethem placed for pickup by village

crews. The committee also askedWhitman to check to see if he couldhandle a few maintenance issuesaround the various parks.

Council was informed that ElaineSierer had resigned from the recre-ation committee. Council approvedputting an ad in the PauldingCounty Progress to see if they canfind a replacement.

Council unanimously approvedvillage administrator Harry Wiebe’sagenda, which included a water,sewage and refuse assessment forresidences owned by Todd R.Dearing and Bridget D. Fulton.

Wiebe’s agenda also included therenewal premium of $49,342 for in-surance coverage with the Ohio

Plan. It was noted that the Village ofPaulding has used the Ohio Plan forthe village insurance for 25 yearsand because of this longevity re-ceived a reduced rate.

A question was raised regardingthe insurance for the new watertreatment plant when it is finished.Finance Director Melissa Topecommented that the insurancewould be adjusted for the new waterplant on next year’s policy.

Tope informed council that thestate auditors came in on March 19but the actual audit team had arrivedon April 1 and started the audit.

Preheat the oven to 350°F.Lightly grease a 9x13-inchpan and set aside.

To make the filling: In amedium saucepan over lowheat, cook the rhubarb, waterand sugar until bubbling.Then add the cornstarch andstir until the cornstarch ismixed throughout and themixture has thickened. Addthe almond flavoring and stir.Keep on the stove over lowheat.

To make the crust: In alarge bowl, combine theshortening, sugar, bakingsoda, vanilla, flour, oats, andcinnamon until the mixtureforms coarse crumbs.

Take half of the crumbsand pat them into the bottomof the prepared pan. Removethe filling from the heat andpour over the bottom crust,spreading it evenly. Thencrumble the remaining half ofthe crumbs evenly over thefilling.

Bake until the crust isgolden and a toothpick in-serted in the center comes outclean, 40 minutes.

When I was growing up,we would have rhubarb short-cake a lot of times right out of

Rhubarb finds its way intoso many baked goods. It justadds a nice, tart taste toeverything. Mom baked withher homegrown rhubarb oftenand she never had troublegrowing rhubarb.

If you want to start yourown rhubarb patch, plant therhubarb one year and then useit the second year. I have al-ways done this and alwayshad good luck. You don’t usethe rhubarb for a year, so thatyou can give the plants timeto develop strong roots.

I got my starts from a ladyin church and just planted awhole row of them. Everyyear they get fuller andspread out more. I plant myrhubarb in full sun, because Idon’t think the plants do aswell in the shade.

A lot of times people willplant them right at the edge oftheir garden. We do this andalso put horse manure aroundthe plants in the spring whichseems to help them grow. Therhubarb is one of the firstgoodies ready to be harvestedin the spring, and this recipeis a great way to start using it.

RHUBARB SQUARES

Filling:

4 cups rhubarb cut into 1/4-inch pieces2 cups water1 cup granulated sugar3 tablespoons cornstarch1/2 teaspoon almond flavor-ingCrust:

3/4 cup shortening, softened1 cup packed brown sugar1 teaspoon baking soda

the oven for supper in theevenings. Mom would sprin-kle sugar and cold milk ontop. We never had it forbreakfast unless it was leftover. My dad wouldn’t putmilk on it; he would just eatit warm. I have fixed rhubarbshortcake for my childrenmany times and some like itmore than others.

If we have ice cream in thefreezer, they would preferthat ice cream be served withit. We never had that choicegrowing up. They don’t act likethey care for the milk on therhubarb like I did when I wasyounger. The children do reallylike rhubarb juice and jam.RHUBARB SHORTCAKE

Caring for theoutdoor pet

By Mark Holtsberry

Education specialist

Paulding SWCD

If you have a pet that is housed outside, or you take care ofthat stray cat that now uses your home as his, make sure thatadequate shelter is provided to shield from wind, moisture, andbasically that Northwest Ohio weather. Take extra care to en-sure that your pet or stray is comfortable and can get into andout of their housing easily.

Several pet and feed stores carry safe heated floor mats ornon-electric warm bedding. Deeply bedded straw or hay is an-other good insulator. If you can, leave that barn door open justenough so the strays can get inside. Do not use heat lamps orhome heaters, as this type of heating can cause fire.

Pets need to have fresh water at all times. Make sure thewater is not frozen during this time of year. Heated pet bowlsare a solution for frigid temperatures. These bowls are veryhandy to have during the cold winter months and are availablein stainless steel or plastic. You can find them at most pet sup-ply and feed stores.

Also, pets that live outdoors may need additional food (calo-ries) to sustain body temperature as well. Please check withyour vet to decide if your pet needs additional nutritional in-take. Keep your indoor or outdoor pets happy and healthy.

Parent’s gravemarker movedDear Editor,

Last week I went down toHedges Cemetery atBroughton to check on mydad’s grave. The marker wasgone and moved someplaceelse without permission.This marker was set in ce-ment and had been theresince 1965.

I found out a worker (andprobably some help) haddone all this damage. I gotabout three different storieswhat happened, but I don’tbelieve any of it. I feel thisperson should be repri-manded somehow, not just aslap on the wrist. I want mydad’s grave restored to origi-nal state, and I am getting itdone. What a heartbreakingtime.

Bargain Binstill changingafter 51 yearsDear Editor,

If I were to ask you if youknew where the best bar-gains in Paulding are, howwould you answer? I hopeyou would say the BargainBin of Paulding County Inc.

The BB has been in opera-tion for 51 yrs. An articlewas found recently in ascrapbook that was donatedto the John Paulding Histori-cal Society by the family ofJean Stuart. It was written inthe Toledo Blade. The articlestated that a group of ladies

gathered together during thepolio epidemic and decidedthat there was a great needfor a therapy department sothose who were afflictedwith the illness would nothave to travel great distancefor rehab.

The ladies began by seek-ing donations of clothes, etc.from the community andselling them at a small cost.In time they were able toprovide physical therapyequipment to the PauldingCounty Hospital. Since thattime, thousands of dollarshave been given to the phys-ical therapy department forpurchase of items thatmaybe you have used. Wehave one of the nicest ther-apy departments in the area.

The BB is opened everyFriday from 9 a.m.-5 p.m.and Saturday from 9 a.m.-noon. Monday is usually thework day when new itemsare put on the shelves fromdonations that came in dur-ing the week.

Every item that is dis-played is checked for rips,stains, etc. We sell only niceitems that you would bepleased to wear.

For your convenience, wehave a small building at theback of the BB for you todrop off your donated itemsany time throughout theweek.

Items that are not acceptedare donated to the FortWayne Missions. Old T-shirts are put in a bag andsold for grease rags.

Recently it was decidedthat the men’s pants and suitcoats would be sized. Thishas proven to be a goodmove. People can come inand see the size on the tagand know immediately whatthe waist size and inseam is.In time we hope to do thiswith more of our items. Wedo our best to keep the sizes

separated in all of the areasfor convenience of our cus-tomers.

Watch the paper for specialbag sales. No where can youget a large bag of clothes for$5. We do this quite often andmany customers have takenadvantage of the sale.

One of our most recent do-nations is a beautiful brandnew wedding dress. The pricetag was left on the dress. Wewould love to sell it to you ata minimal cost. We also havea few other wedding dressesalong with prom dresses.Come in an see what we have.

The BB is located on WestPerry across the street fromthe Eagles, next to the oldtheater. We are bursting atthe seams and are lookingfor a new place of residence.In the past 51 years the BBhas been in a variety ofplaces. We are hoping thatsomeone might step forwardand offer us a place thatwould give us more room.Until then we will continuebusiness as usual. A biggerplace would allow us to selllarge items that right nowwe have no room for.

New members are alwayswelcome to join the BB.Rhonda Smalley is presi-dent. Want to join? Just askRhonda or any member andwe will gladly fill you in onwhat you need to know.Meetings are held the secondMonday at the hospital edu-cation room at 10:30 a.m. inthe months of July, Septem-ber, November, January andMarch. Our reorganizationmonth is May and we cele-brate with a luncheon.

So I wish the Bargain Binof Paulding County Inc. avery happy birthday and bestwishes for continued suc-cess.

May hearing set

to resolve Manor

House, Essen

House mattersBy DENISE GEBERS

Progress Staff Writer

PAULDING – A thirdamended complaint was filedlast week against ManorHouse Assisted Living Ltd.and Essen House RestaurantLtd. by Antwerp HoldingsLLC.

The four-page documentfiled with the PauldingCounty Court of CommonPleas, asks for judgmentagainst the two in the sum of$579,245.63. The request isbased on a claim of unjust en-richment and would coverback rent.

Additionally, the plaintiff isseeking prejudgment intereston that sum plus “all otherjust and proper relief in thepremises.”

Both businesses were for-merly housed in the propertynow occupied by Vancrest of

Antwerp LLC.Antwerp Holdings alleges

in the complaint that it held alease with TDM3 Ltd. for theproperty in question, bearingaddresses on Archer Driveand Woodcox Street inAntwerp. It further said thatentity allowed Manor Houseand Essen House to take pos-session of the property with-out the consent of thelandowner or a lease withthem.

Further allegations say nei-ther business paid rent to theplaintiff during their time inthe premises owned byAntwerp Holdings.

A recent judgment entry inthe case file showed severalactions taken by the Court.

Attorney Joseph Burkardwas allowed to continue asReceiver over Manor Houseand Essen House businesses.He will retain full financialcontrol over both accountsand is the only authorized re-cipient of Medicaid checksfor Manor House servicesprovided through Feb. 28.

He was authorized to paythe outstanding water andsewer invoices due toAntwerp Village.

The Court retained juris-diction in three areas. First itwill determine priority of allother claims or expenses re-lated to Manor House andEssen House. Three werespecified: repairing the firealarm system, paying real es-tate taxes, and paying accruedvacation pay to employees.

Next the Court may deter-mine payments made out ofthe business accounts. Ofspecial note here were previ-ously unauthorized paymentstotaling $55,996.05 by defen-dant Louis Lengacher.

The Court will also decideissues relating to removal ofpersonal property from the fa-cilities without prior Receiveror Court approval.

Motions regarding the re-maining issues of this caseare to be filed by May 3 withresponses due by May 17. AMay 23 hearing on all thesematters was set.

County Court In My OpinionA happy place

There is one season of the year that really warms my heartand makes me feel good all over (or at least as good as can beexpected at my age); that season is spring. I have experiencedmany spring seasons and in my opinion this has been one of thecoldest, most miserable springs I have ever experienced! But, Iknow that my own advice would be, “Just wait a month or twoand you will be complainingabout the hot weather as weenter the summer months.”

Now on to the good news.I now have a few flats ofplants started. When theweather breaks I will beready to get out the tiller andplant several rows of toma-toes, cabbage, onions andpeppers with lots of other vegetables to follow. You see, I loveto garden and watch things grow, then maybe or maybe not eatthe vegetables I have grown. It is hard, backbreaking work, butit is therapeutic as the hoeing and growing gives me some qual-ity time to think about the important things in life. You certainlyunderstand about these important things like: Should I get thehose out and give the garden some water? Should I plant somemore melons? Should I harvest the cabbage? You know, thoseimportant things that make my garden a happy place.

But in all seriousness, I do spend time thinking about moreimportant things when I am gardening. Things like some pas-sage from the Bible that is on my mind, a comment or questionsomeone shared with me, sometimes I even hum or think abouta happy tune and might even find myself whistling a bit or lis-tening to the birds. My garden is truly a happy place for me. It isalso a place of solitude where I can get in touch with somethingor someone that means so much to me. I have even been able tothink through the flow of many sermons as I do mundane taskslike point the hose to get the right amount of water where it isneeded, pull out/hoe weeds, run the tiller and even pick toma-toes.

Friends come to my garden and they look around and say,“How nice” or “You sure have a lot of tomatoes.” Sometimesfriends even try to give me advice, which is not necessary be-cause I will do it my way. That is part of the peace that I find inmy garden each year. I always grow something, in spite ofeverything in and out of my control. I am able to pass somethingon to the world, even if it is just a smile because I have spentsome time in the solace of my garden and may even have talkedto a few plants (I don’t think they ever understand, but they aregood listeners).

I hope to see you in church this Sunday; we might havesomething in common.

County officials take steps torepair 127-year-old courthouse

By JIM LANGHAM

Feature Writer

PAULDING – Paulding County Commission-ers have taken action toward repairs on thecounty’s courthouse with the awarding of con-tracts to redo the roof and do painting below theroof line.

Gregg Huey Construction, Inc. of Pennville,Ind. put in the lowest bid of $109,762.40 for roofrestoration. Bids ranged between the Huey bidand and one from General Restoration Contrac-tors from Columbus for $229,400. Other firmssubmitting bids which fell between the tworanges were Bebout and Houg, Van Wert, Tri-County Roofing, Paulding and Traditions,Columbus.

“Huey has installed 17,000 square feet ofDecra shingles commercially,” commentedCommissioner Tony Zartman. “He knows whathe is doing. We feel confident with him that thejob will be completed in timely and professionalmanner.”

Last summer, work was done on the dome fol-lowing the June 29 storm that passed through thecounty.

The painting contract was awarded to MonroePainting of Lima for submitting a bid of $32,875.Bids for that project ranged between that bid andone for $94,400 from General Restoration fromColumbus. Other bids were received from AllTrades Historical Restoration of Tampa, Fla.,who also recently purchased the old jail, and Tra-ditions.

“Everything below the roof line, windows,and all, will be painted this year. Everythingabove the roof line was painted last year,” saidCommissioner Fred Pieper. “They will take thestorm windows off, caulk original windows anddo what needs to be done in that area.”

Other projects at bay, but hopefully to be ad-

dressed within the next year, include muchneeded repairs of the sandstone where commis-sioners are concerned about erosion that is set-ting in.

“This is going to be a major expense, it is notcheap,” said Pieper. “Eventually, we are goingto have to do the high efficiency lighting. Thatis more difficult than it seems because it is morethan simply replacing bulbs. It means replacingfixtures and other needed repairs. We are hopingthere is a possibility that we might be able to dothat yet this year.”

Commissioner Roy Klopfenstein noted thatanother area of concern is the wood work on themain floor, especially the east entrance.

Pieper said that many of the repairs had beenpostponed because of a major financial crunchthat took place in 2009. County officials at thattime were forced to cut courthouse hours andtake other measures in order to avert a worse fi-nancial crisis at the time.

“The economy has turned around enoughand we have had increased sales tax and in-creased general fund receipts to begin doingthese much-needed repairs,” Pieper said.

Commissioners noted that the general fundreceipts for the first two months of this yearhave increased 11 percent since 2009 and thatsales tax receipts have increased 21 percent.On the “down side,” general fund expendi-tures for the first two months of this year are23 percent higher than 2009.

“We can only put off the responsibility to thiscourthouse so long,” said Pieper. “We feel thatnow is the time that we need to go with this.”

The current courthouse was built in 1886and is the third courthouse to serve the resi-dents of Paulding County. In 1974, it waslisted on the National Register of HistoricPlaces.

In The Garden

By Kylee Baumle

Tough love in the gardenEvery year I make the same

vow – no more plant heroics.If a plant isn’t performingwell, it’s outta here. Withperennials alone, there are toomany wonderful things avail-able so there’s really no roomor reason for keeping strag-glers and prima donnas. Oneof the nurseries I occasionallyorder plants from has over1,000 perennials suitable forour zone (5b/6a) alone – morethan enough from which tochoose!

Yet there they are – surviv-ing, not thriving – and stillgreen. If they still have greenon them, they’ll be fine,right? If the sun shines in justthe right way, the rain falls atthe perfect time, and I re-member to fertilize when theyneed it, they’ll make a turn-around and eventually live upto the expectations I hadwhen I planted them.

It’s not likely that all of thatis going to happen or eventwo out of three. The gardenof my dreams isn’t the gardenof my reality. Still, for somereason it feels wrong to com-post “living” plants. I soundlike a hoarder, don’t I? Aplant hoarder.

Well, this year will be dif-ferent. As I walk around thegarden, and survey the stateof things at the start of a newseason, I see new growth,dead stuff, and things that aresomewhere in between. It’sthose things hanging in limbothat may or may not live tosee another season.

It’s early yet, so I can’t

ugly and eventually fall off.The flowers are still lovely, butthe plant ends up looking likelollipops on thorny sticks.There are ways to treat blackspot, but there are many rosesthat aren’t as affected by it andI’m going to stick with those.

For several years now, I’vetried to grow things that aren’thappy with my alkaline soil.Soil pH is more important tosome plants than others andthose that prefer it on the acidicside simple don’t do well forme. These include azaleas, rho-dodendrons, blueberries,astilbes, bergenias, and fox-glove, among others.

It doesn’t mean I can’t growthese acid lovers; it just meansin my garden they may be un-derwhelming, and I’ve foundthat to be true. I skirt the issuewith blueberries by growingvarieties that do well planted incontainers where I can controltheir soil environment.

Part of the enjoyment I getfrom gardening is learningwhat plants require to keepthem happy. That means thestars and the supporting playersin the garden change as timegoes on and I learn new things.Sometimes it’s tough to give upa plant we love when we real-ize it’s not right for us. Some-times life in the garden islike…well…life.

make that decision on someof them until later, like hardyhibiscus (Hibiscusmoscheutos) and Rose ofSharon (Hibiscus syriacus).Butterfly bush (Buddleia) andvarieties of milkweed (Ascle-pias spp.) are also late sleep-ers in the garden, so if yougrow these, don’t give up onthem too soon.

Probably the biggest deter-mining factor for what staysand what goes will beweather-related. As the hotand dry summers are tendingto be more normal for us thannot, my plants of choice willbe those that are drought-tol-erant. That doesn’t mean I’mgoing to grow only succu-lents or prairie wildflowers,but if a plant is perpetuallythirsty, that means extra workfor me and unless we’re talk-ing hydrangeas – I’m reluc-tant to make the extra effort.

I’ll likely be parting withsome roses this year, too. Untila couple of years ago, I neverhad issues with black spot, thatmalady that affects many rosesand causes their foliage to get

Annual walleye migration under wayon Maumee and Sandusky rivers

COLUMBUS – The annualappearance of migrating wall-eye in the Maumee and San-dusky rivers brings fantasticspring fishing opportunities,according to the Ohio Depart-ment of Natural Resources(ODNR).

And local fishermen say itis on!

Anglers can see the lateston the walleye bite or reviewthe 2013-2014 Ohio FishingRegulations at wildohio.com.

This phenomenon in north-west Ohio occurs each springwhen a portion of Lake Erie’swalleye population moves upthe Maumee and Sanduskyrivers to spawn. The runbrings hundreds of thousandsof fish within casting distanceof eager shore anglers.

Walleye spawning nor-mally occurs in these riversfrom mid-March throughmid-April, with peak activityusually the first week of Aprilwhen the water temperaturesrange from 40 to 50 degrees.

Moderately-high water lev-els also increases the numberof walleye in the rivers, espe-cially if river temperaturesare warmer than lake temper-atures.

The best fishing areas inthe Maumee River are fromOrleans Park in Perrysburgupstream to the end of JeromeRoad in Lucas County.

Sandusky River anglerswill find better success fromBrady’s Island to RodgerYoung Park in the city of Fre-mont. Fishing is prohibitedupstream from Rodger YoungPark to the Ballville Dam.

Anglers are reminded thebag limit for Lake Erie and itstributaries is four walleyeuntil April 30. There is a year-round 15-inch length limit forwalleye on Lake Erie and itstributaries to the first dam ordesignated landmark.

Fishermen who are wadingalso need to ensure they areprepared to experience an un-expected cold water immer-sion and should considerwearing a flotation device aswell as fish with a partner.

Some anglers choose tofish from boats. ODNR ad-vises them to always properlywear life jackets, take precau-tions against overloadingtheir boats and capsizing, bewell dressed to avoid theonset of hypothermia and beprepared to handle any emer-gency. Boats should never beanchored off the stern.

Special regulations are ineffect for Maumee and San-dusky rivers during Marchand April. Fishing is only al-lowed between sunrise andsunset in specified areas, andtreble hooks are prohibited.

Anglers may only use asingle hook that is no larger

than 1 inch from shank topoint. Only fish that arehooked inside the mouth maylegally be taken, and anysnagged fish must be imme-diately released.

The sales of fishing li-censes, along with the SportFish Restoration (SFR) pro-gram, continue to fundODNR Division of Wildlifefish management operations.No state tax dollars are usedfor these activities. These areuser-pay, user-benefit pro-grams.

The SFR is a partnershipbetween federal and stategovernment, industry and an-glers/boaters. When anglerspurchase rods, reels, fishingtackle, fish finders and motorboat fuel, they pay an excisetax. The federal governmentcollects these taxes, and theU.S. Fish and Wildlife Serv-ice administers and disbursesthese funds to state fish andwildlife agencies. Thesefunds are used to acquirehabitat, produce and stockfish, conduct research andsurveys, provide aquatic edu-cation and acquire and de-velop boat accesses.

A Penny For Your Thoughts....

By: Nancy Whitaker

PAMPERED OR SPOILED?Our dog, Baylee, is a

spoiled little Shih Tzu. At ageseven, he is still frisky andhas became an important partof our family. Born with onlyone testicle, cross-eyed andwith a double set of teeth, wefell in love with him at firstsight.

At the time we got Baylee,we also had an old wienerdog named Brownie. Bayleeand Brownie became bestfriends until Brownie hit age19, became ill and left thisearth for “Doggie Heaven.”

Since then, Baylee gets allof our attention and trust me,he knows it. He turns his noseup at his dog food almostdaily and knows we may justshare our dinner with him ifhe doesn’t eat his own.

Of course, we don’t wantBaylee to starve, so we usedifferent tactics to get him toeat. I really hate to tell this,but one day, my husband toldme, Baylee ate all his lunchtoday. I fed him with aspoon.”

I said, “Oh no. I spoon-fedmy kids when they were ba-bies and I sure don’t want tospoon feed a dog.”

Aren’t dogs fun? You al-most have to be a strict disci-plinarian or a soft heartedspoiler, because we havefound no middle ground.

We have bought him count-less little toys and he con-

stantly carries a favorite onearound in his mouth. Whenmaking his trips out to thefenced in back yard, he usu-ally will take a toy out withhim. However, he will usu-ally drop the toy and strutaround the back yard sniffingand lifting his leg on every-thing.

He will occasionally see astray cat in the yard and willcorner it and bark ferociously.One day, he met up with a bigold yellow cat. This kitty wasnot about to let little squawk-ing Baylee scare him and hehissed once, bared his clawsand ran after our poor littledog.

Baylee made a bee line forthe back door yipping andcrying and he knows now notto mess with that cat.

Occasionally he will es-cape out of the back yard andprance around the neighbor-hood. At first it was difficultto round him up as he can runfaster than we can.

One day as Baylee wasrunning loose, my husbandgot in the car to go find him.Baylee happened to hear thecar motor and see him in thecar and came running. Heloves car rides, so the best so-lution now to convince him tocome to us is to simply openthe car door and he will jumpin.

We have not determinedyet if he would just jump in

our car or anyone’s car.The older he gets, it seems

as if he learns new ways tochallenge us. When he is outin the back yard and wants tocome in, he will jump on theback door and let us know.

However, lately, he jumpson the door, waits until wecome to open it and runs backout in the yard. He does itover and over and the otherday it took 20 minutes to gethim to come back in.

I am starting to wonder ifsomehow our little dog hasoutsmarted us? But, youknow, whenever we get homefrom being out, he is sohappy to greet us and love usthat we forget all about hismany quirks.

Pets can bring a lot of joyand happiness into our lives.They accept us for who weare and show their love and ap-preciation maybe by just wag-ging their tail.

I cannot imagine life withoutour dog who brings a lot of joy,happiness, and love into ourlives. In fact, don’t tell, but Iam planning on maybe gettinga little playmate for Baylee.Shhhhh.

Do you have a dog who re-ally brings love and joy intoyour life? Have you ever fed adog with a spoon? Do youthink your dog has a personal-ity?

Let me know and I’ll giveyou a Penny for Your thoughts.

By Jim LopshireOSU Extension educatorAll fertilizers will have a

series of three numbers dis-played prominently on thelabel. These numbers repre-sent the percentage by weightof nitrogen, phosphorus, andpotassium.

For instance, a 24-4-8 fer-tilizer will have 24% nitro-gen, 4% phosphorous asP2O5, and 8% potassium asK2O. A 46-0-0 fertilizer willhave 46% nitrogen and nophosphorous and potassium.

Though all three elementsare important in maintaininga healthy turf stand, nitrogenwill cause the greatest re-sponse. Because of this, mostfertilizer recommendationsfor lawns are listed as poundsof nitrogen per 1,000 squarefeet.

If late fall fertilizer was ap-plied last October or Novem-ber, then make only onefertilizer application thisspring, preferably in lateApril or early May, using nomore than 3/4 pound actualnitrogen per 1,000 squarefeet.

If a late fall fertilizer was

not applied, then make twoapplications this spring; thefirst application in earlyApril, the other in mid- tolate-May using 3/4# actual Nper 1,000 square feet eachtime.

Fertilizing with phosphorusand potassium is also impor-tant in maintaining a healthylawn. The best way to deter-mine how much phosphorusand potassium to apply annu-ally is to follow the recom-mendations of a soil test.

In lieu of a soil test, a gen-eral recommendation is toapply 1/4 as much phospho-rus and 1/2 as much potas-sium as nitrogen. For aone-year fertilization cycle, ifyou apply 4 pounds nitrogen

per 1,000 square feet per year,you should apply 1 poundphosphorus and 2 poundspotassium per 1,000 squarefeet per year.

It is best to fertilize lightlyin spring and early summer,little to none in summer, andheavy in fall. A heavy fall fer-tilization program will pro-duce the healthiest turfthroughout the year. Applyinghigh rates of nitrogen in thespring and summer stimulatesexcess leaf growth at the ex-pense of root growth. Not onlydoes this force you to mowmore often, it reduces turf qual-ity during the summer. Highapplication rates of spring andsummer nitrogen can also stim-ulate disease, weed and insectactivity.

If you apply a pre-emer-gence herbicide that is com-bined with fertilizer in April,the May fertilizer applicationshould be skipped. Profes-sional lawn care companiesmay increase the number of ap-plications while decreasing therate of nitrogen per application.This can give a more gradualfeeding of the grass plants andproduce a high quality lawn.

Revolving Loan Fund ismainstay of Paulding Co.Economic Development

PAULDING – In 1993,Paulding County Commis-sioners Tony Langham,Maurice Wannemacherand Elaine Harp created aneconomic development of-fice for Paulding County.Monthly meetings wereheld with an advisoryboard, the commissioners,and its first director, SaraKeeran. In 1999, the com-missioners asked the twoCommunity ImprovementCommittees (CICs) in thecounty to form what istoday known as PauldingCounty Economic Devel-opment (PCED), and theydirected that the PCEDboard be responsible forthe PCED office and itsoperations.

From the start, one of theprimary programs that wasused, and still is to this day,is the Paulding County Re-volving Loan Fund (RLF).

The goal of the RLF Pro-gram is to provide financ-ing to corporations,partnerships or sole propri-etorships. This financingcan be for building acqui-sition, new constructionand/or expansion, equip-ment, or remodeling forbusinesses located inPaulding County.

The source of funds forthis program is derivedfrom Community Devel-opment Block Grants(CDBG) that are adminis-tered by Ohio Develop-

The Paulding Progress &Weekly Reminder

QUESTION: We’re strug-gling to get our children tobe organized and keep theirrooms clean. Do you haveany tips that would help?

JIM: As the father of twoboys, I know how you feel!Every parent has his or herown method of handling suchchallenges. It’s fair to say that“discipline” isn’t usually thebest way to deal with a situa-tion like this.

As a matter of fact, a hard-nosed approach could provecounterproductive. You couldend up transforming thought-less irresponsibility into pre-meditated rebellion.

We recommend you takefull advantage of “naturalconsequences.” Use maskingtape to mark off a boundary atthe doors of your kids’ rooms,between their personal“messy zone” and the rest ofthe house.

Then say, “Inside themessy zone, you can do asyou please. But if you wantanything that’s been left onthe floor outside the messyzone, make sure you pick itup before bedtime. After that,it will be confiscated andplaced in quarantine until youhave enough money to buy itback. The going price is $1.”

If nothing else, this is agood way to reduce clutter inthe house. It can also provideyou with a handy fund for afamily pizza night. The messinside their rooms will likelydisappear when they get tiredof it and when they realizeyou’re not going to houndthem into doing the job.

If these strategies don’twork, consider whether theremight be something more se-rious going on. Our counsel-ing team notes that there canbe physical or emotionalcauses, such as attentiondeficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD), for a child’s inabil-

ity to follow through on sim-ple tasks. In that case, youshould see a family counselorwho is trained to diagnoseand deal with such condi-tions.

More than likely, your kidsare just being kids. Bestwishes as you help them takeresponsibility for keepingtheir rooms presentable!QUESTION: How can Ifind age-appropriatemovies for my teens? Somany movies are not fam-ily-friendly, and the currentmovie ratings can be mis-leading.

BOB WALISZSEWSKI,director of Plugged In: I’mglad you asked. And I feelyour pain. Here at Focus onthe Family, we often hearfrom parents who feel“sucker punched” when theytake their kids to a PG or PG-13 film, only to encountercontent that is entirely inap-propriate.

That’s why nearly 15 yearsago we began offering con-tent-oriented reviews online.We believed (and still do) thatparents needed more thanMPAA ratings. They neededto know for themselveswhat’s actually in a film, sothey could make wise choicesfor their children. As such,our Plugged In website(www.pluggedin.com) can beyour one-stop destination foranything playing at your localtheater.

Each review contains infor-mation about a film’s overallthemes and messages, as wellas details about sexuality,crude language, violence,drugs and alcohol. There’salso an archive of past re-views of movies that are nowon DVD or streaming online.We offer similar evaluationsof music, TV shows andvideo games.

‘Winning the Battle for a Generation’By Rick Jones

exec. director Defiance Area Youth forChrist

How has God used failure in your life? Formany who are reading this article you mayidentify with the lesson of the story that I amgoing to tell you about today. It is a lesson onfailing and having a vision for life. Today’strue story shows how vision can be born outof failure.

Edward Steichen, who eventually becameone of the world’s most renowned photogra-phers, almost gave up on the day he shot hisfirst pictures. At age 16, Steichen bought acamera and took 50 photos. Only one turnedout which was a portrait of his sister at thepiano.

Edward’s father thought that was a poorshowing, but his mother insisted the photo-graph of his sister was so beautiful that it morethan compensated for 49 failures. Her encour-

agement convinced the youngster to stick withhis new hobby.

He stayed with it for the rest of his life, butit had been a close call. What tipped thescales? The difference was the vision of Ed-ward’s mother to spot excellence in her son inthe midst of a lot of failure.

How has God used failure in your life? Forme, as the father of three boys, I learned earlyon how important it is to be an encouragementto my sons.

Part of that life lesson is reinforced in scrip-ture where we read, Ephesians 6:4 (NKJV) (4)And you, fathers, do not provoke your chil-dren to wrath, but bring them up in the trainingand admonition of the Lord.

Rita Thelen presenting “Quilts & the Underground Railroad” at a meeting of the Paulding County Chapter of the Ohio Genealog-ical Society. Quilt patterns displayed are, from left – Basket, Tumbling Blocks, Star, Log Cabin and Monkey Wrench.

Genealogists learn mysteries of the Underground RailroadPAULDING – The Under-

ground Railroad was neitherunderground nor was it a rail-road. It was a network of trailsand safe-houses used by theslaves on their way to freedomin Canada. Rita Thelen of Limawas the speaker at the March13 Paulding County Chapter ofthe Ohio Genealogical Societymeeting.

A map of the UGRR routesin Ohio showed a trail in east-ern Paulding County. Thelenexplained that Ohio was a“free state” with over 3,000miles of trails and at least 23points of entry along the OhioRiver. This inspired her tofind, purchase and use her an-tique patterned quilt collec-tion in a presentation called“Secret Stitches: Coded forFreedom?”

The book Hidden in PlainSight contains a code used bythe family of OzellaWilliams. Each quilt patterntransferred information abouthow best to successfully es-cape north. Ten quilt patternswere used in the followingcode: The monkey wrench(pattern) turns the wagonwheel (pattern) towardCanada on a bear’s paw trail(pattern) to the crossroads(pattern). Once they got to thecrossroads they dug a logcabin (pattern) on the ground.

Shoofly (pattern) told them todress up in cotton and satinbow ties (pattern) and go tothe cathedral church, get mar-ried and exchange doublerings. Flying geese (pattern)stay on a drunkard’s path(pattern) and follow the stars(pattern).

At first reading, one isstruck by the imagery and po-etic descriptions. But beneaththe language lies a muchdeeper, larger story, a storythat reaches back to Africaand forward to the Carolinas,connecting African symbolsto familiar quilt patterns, alltied together with the soundsof spirituals and the African-American struggle to escapethe bonds of slavery.

Legend has it that in 1831 arunaway slave slipped into theOhio River with his owner inhot pursuit. He swam for hislife across the great river whilethe other man sought out a boatto row after him. The slavelanded in Ripley, Ohio, and im-mediately ran from view. Theowner, giving up his search,declared the slave had “goneoff on an underground rail-road.”

For the safety of all in-volved, few records werekept of the numbers and iden-tities of persons who reachedfreedom along the railroad,

but it is estimated that at least40,000 passed through Ohio.

Area folklore tale: an Under-ground Railroad safe-house isstill standing on NorthWilliams Street, Paulding.

Chapter vice presidentDavid Betts called the meet-

ing to order with 15 membersand four guests in attendance.

Jill (Rood) Noyes ofACRES Land Trust, whichowns over 80 preserves in In-diana and Paulding County,Ohio, will be the next speakerat 6:30 p.m. April 10 at the

Paulding County CarnegieLibrary ground level meetingroom.

OSU-Lima: A good fit for Brady SchroederBy JOE SHOUSE

SportswriterFormer Paulding High

School athlete BradySchroeder recently completedhis four-year college basket-ball career and I recentlycaught up with the eight-timeletter winner who wore themaroon and white back in2008. The energetic studentathlete is attending The OhioState University at Limawhere he was a four-yearstarter for the Barons and fin-ished with over 1,000 points.

While playing at Paulding,the young Schroeder playedfor his dad his junior and sen-ior year but the coaching con-sistency was much differentonce Brady entered college.His college career startedwith a brief stop at OtterbeinUniversity just outside ofColumbus in Westerville.With basketball being such apassion for Brady, he wantedto play as a freshman andmake a contribution to theteam.

“It was tough. The teamwas pretty much establishedand there were probably 20freshmen trying to make theteam. I realized I wasn’tgoing to get to play much soI decided to move on and Iam thankful that I did.”

Without missing a beat,Brady was able to make themove to Lima and play forthe Barons right away.

“We checked it all out andsince I hadn’t played in anygames I would be eligible toplay without sitting out,” said

Brady. But the coachingcarousel started and after hisfreshman season the headcoach left, forcing the team toadjust to another leader.

His sophomore season, itwould be a new coach andseveral new players whomBrady would need to adjust tobut would end up being hisbest year as a Baron.

“Our new coach wasQuincy Simpson and I had towork hard to prove that Icould not only play the game,but could start. I didn’t startwhen the season opened but Icontinued to work hard usingmy quickness and playingstrong defense in practice. Bythe fifth or sixth game I wasin the starting line up,” saidBrady.

According to Schroeder,his sophomore season was agood year with the team fin-ishing second in the confer-ence behind MiamiUniversity at Middletown.Unfortunately, for CoachSimpson it would be one anddone and Schroeder would belooking at his third new headcoach in as many years.

At the close of his sopho-more year, Schroeder con-templated leaving and goingto Defiance College or OhioNorthern. But he was happyat OSU-Lima and although itdidn’t have anything to dowith basketball, Brady wasalways considering the finan-cial cost of his education.Majoring in business with anemphasis in family financialmanagement, Brady is ex-

cited about the idea of gettinghis degree from The OhioState University and knowingit will cost much less thanfrom a private institution.

“I think back at the fact thatI could go to OSU-Lima for ayear and it would cost thesame as going to Otterbeinfor a quarter.”

As a junior and seniorBrady was able to settle inwith former Miller City coachNick Pittman who took overthe helm two years ago. TheBarons completed the 2012-13 season with a record ofjust three wins and 27 loseswith all three wins coming inconference play. One of thewins came back on Dec. 13when Schroeder canned a 3-pointer as time expired togive the Barons a 79-76 winover University of Akron atWayne. “Shooting is proba-bly my strength. There was agame where I made six 3-pointers.”

Schroeder feels that theteam would have done muchbetter but the Barons losttheir 6-foot-7 center when hebroken his ankle early in theseason. For the year, thePaulding product, who wasthe team captain and the onlysenior on the team, averagednearly 14 points per game andnine rebounds.

Also, an avid golfer whoshoots about 75 on the links,Brady admits that basketballis his passion and golf is justsomething he does. While atPaulding, Brady was namedfirst team All-Northwest Con-

ference while still holding theschool record for nine holeswith an impressive 33.Schroeder followed up hishigh school golf credentialsby earning the state runnerplayer of the year honors fea-turing individuals from theOhio Regional Campus Con-ference along with severalother small colleges and jun-ior colleges in Ohio.

Brady hopes to someday bea coach like his dad, Chuck,who still teaches at Paulding.“I liked playing for him atPaulding. He coached for 20years and he always im-pressed me with what heknew about the game,” com-mented Brady. Playing thegame since he was able towalk, Brady knows his col-lage playing days are over,but he relishes what the gamehas taught him. “Well, I’velearned that nothing is justhanded over to you but thatyou have to work hard to suc-ceed because nothing comeseasy.”

A younger brother, Trey,was a member of the Pantherbasketball team this past sea-son and plans to followBrady’s footsteps and play atOSU-Lima. Brock, anotherbrother, is 20 years old and isan EMT in Cleveland.

The Ohio Regional Cam-pus Conference was estab-lished in 1978 with regionalcampuses representing OhioState, Ohio University,Miami University, WrightState, and University ofAkron.

Cooperative selectsnew trustees

PAULDING – Two incum-bents were returned to theirseats on the Paulding-PutnamElectric Cooperative Board ofTrustees during the coopera-tive’s 76th annual meeting onSaturday, March 16, at the co-operative office.

Re-elected to serve District2 in Van Wert County wasRonald Neiswander of Con-voy, and re-elected to serveDistrict 4 covering parts ofPaulding and Defiance coun-ties was Karl “Bud” Koenigof Paulding.

Steve McMichael wasnamed the new trustee forDistrict 5, which covers por-tions of Allen County in Indi-ana. Ronald Ehinger, whohad been serving District 5,decided not to run for re-elec-tion and no other candidatessubmitted nominating peti-tions prior to the filing dead-line. McMichael wasappointed by the board fol-lowing steps spelled out inthe cooperative’s code of reg-ulations.

CEO/general managerGeorge Carter talked aboutthe Paulding-Putnam’s mis-sion statement, saying thatthe cooperative will provideelectric rates that are “fair andreasonable.” He said Pauld-ing-Putnam’s rates are fairand lower than the state aver-age.

“We are cost based. Welook at the actual cost to pro-vide service to your home andbase our rates on that cost,”Carter said. “We don’t addany profit margin for out-of-state shareholders.”

Carter also talked aboutvalue – value for the energy

dollar. He asked the memberspresent if they felt they re-ceived a good value for themoney they paid for electric-ity. Carter compared the aver-age daily cost of electricitywith various products onecould purchase for the sameprice and then asked for vol-unteers to have their powerdisconnected for one day inexchange for a product for thesame cost. No one was will-ing to take him up on hisoffer.

“Price is what you pay –value is what you get,” Cartersaid.

During his address to mem-bers, board president JohnSaxton asked that co-opmembers to step forward andbe brave, emulating the pio-neering members who cre-ated the cooperative.

“We must continue to tellthe younger generationsabout the cooperatives. Manythink of us as just anotherpower company,” Saxtonsaid. “You see we have ene-mies out there today. Thereare those who would force usto use energy sources thatcould double or triple yourelectric rates.”

Saxton asked members tojoin ACRE Co-op Owners forPolitical Action to fight foraffordable rates and help pushWashington and Columbus inthe right direction.

Secretary-treasurer GaryHayden told the meeting thatPPEC strives to control costsand keep electric bill afford-able. The total operating ex-penses increased just over 1.5percent in 2012 demonstrat-ing the board and manage-

ment’s commitment to con-trolling costs.

Hayden added that theboard remains committed toimproving service by replac-ing old and outdated electriclines and aggressively cuttingtrees. Improving member re-liability while controllingcosts is a difficult task, butone that the cooperative iscommitted to achieving, hesaid.

George Carter announcedthe 2013 scholarship winnersduring the meeting. CarrieGerding (Kalida HighSchool) and John Schaub(Ottawa-Glandorf HighSchool) earned the first-placeawards. Logan Gable (Ot-toville High School) andEmma Scheumann (HeritageHigh School) were the sec-ond-place winners, JenniferLeis (Miller City HighSchool) and Caleb Blanke-meyer (Vantage Career Center)were the third-place winnersand Brandi Gerschutz wasnamed the at-large winner.

Paulding-Putnam alsonamed the winners of theYouth Tour to Washington,D.C. Alexander Horstman(Ottoville) and JessicaSchmenk (Miller City) willrepresent the cooperative onthis year’s trip.

The approximately 650members present at the meet-ing were welcomed by Pauld-ing-Putnam employees andwere given a gift bag of prod-ucts produced by area vendors.
