PAULDING – The BargainBin of Paulding County receiveda sizable Christmas gift on Mon-day – a $10,000 donation for itsnew building fund from a localwind farm. Chris Brooks of Chicago, anEDP Renewables project man-ager, presented the gift to BargainBin members.

Brooks said EDP has had a presence in the county since 2008and the company is grateful forcommunity support of its wind-farms. He felt this was a goodopportunity for EDP to help theBargain Bin, the members’ ef -forts to build a new building andultimately the group’s mission ofaiding Paulding County Hospital. “We are humbly grateful forthis generous donation,” said

Bargain Bin president RhondaSmalley. “It is a shot in the armwe needed right now. It gives us a big ray of hope.” The Bargain Bin still needs between $50,000 to $70,000 toreach its $250,000 constructiongoal, according to treasurer Don-na Pieper. The new 60-by-80-foot build-ing is under construction at thecorner of Cherry and Harrison

streets, a block south of the present location. Work has beenstalled because the contractorhas been called to other sites, but Smalley said the new projectshould be under way again soon. County Commissioner TonyZartman said EDP has been com-mitted to being a good corporateneighbor and helping take care ofthe community, and this is a goodexample of their efforts.

Lisa McClure, director ofPaulding County Area Founda-tion, remarked on the generosityof Paulding County residents.“All you have to do is ask and people will step forward,” shesaid. Donations are still being ac-cepted and may be sent to theBargain Bin Building Fund,118 W. Perry St., Paulding OH45879.

El Niño wind and ice bring down power lines Monday By JIM LANGHAM

Feature Writer The remains of “Winter Storm Go-liath” made its presence known overPaulding County this past weekend, withthe major assault coming on Monday

with heavy glazing and winds in excessof 40 mph.

Many residents awakened on Mondaymorning to shining trees and icy vehiclesas temperatures overnight had droppedto the freezing level which allowedheavy rain to form icing as it struck manysurfaces. By noon, at least a quarter of an

inch of ice had accumulated on manytrees and wires.

Later in the afternoon, as east windsincreased to at least 40 mph, lines startedto snap and limbs fell on wires and build-ings. By 3:30 p.m., the dispatch ofce atthe Paulding County Sheriff’s Ofce re-

ported that between Payne and Antwerp,Ohio 49 had been closed from Ohio

500 north to U.S. 24 due to fallen wiresand the need to keep the road clear forrepair workers to start moving in. Otherdowned wires and some tree damagewere also being reported in the Cecilarea.

Monday’s onslaught was the second blow in three days coming from troughs

connected to Winter Storm Goliath,which had caused blizzards, ice stormsand tornadoes in the Texas panhandlearea over the weekend. A major waveoff that system moved into the Midwestduring the night on Sunday and caused

PAULDING – It was to be a special day forCarolyn Moore back on Dec. 15. What made itspecial was a delivery she was anxiously anticipat-ing. In the mail, on that day, she was to receive twoChristmas gifts for her two grandsons, Landyn andLevi. Moore, who is working hard to raise her grand-sons, had also been working equally as hard to savethe money necessary to purchase these two gifts. After work on the 15th, Carolyn arrived hometo notice that no gifts were on the porch or near thefront door. Carolyn decided to do some detectivework and called the post ofce. According to the postmaster, the packages had been delivered ear -lier that morning around 10:20 a.m. “When they were discovered missing, the post-master came to the house to investigate and no packages were located,” said Moore. Not easily giving up, Moore continued hersearch and eventually found the evidence of paperand torn packages near a dumpster – empty boxesaddressed to Moore, but the contents missing. “I was devastated. I took the broken down box-es along with my broken heart to the Paulding po-

lice station and explained my situation and led areport,” said Moore. On duty was Ofcer Todd Weidenhamer, whoheard the story of a disappointed grandmother. Itwas a story that not only rang out with pain and

disappointment but also left an impression uponWeidenhamer, a member of the police reserves aswell as the village’s re chief.

“After talking to her and not getting leads onthe theft, I talked with the other reghters and policemen and it was decided that we would pulltogether and donate out of our own pockets to re- purchase the gifts and give them to the boys,” saidWeidenhamer. Both the police and re departments went towork, and after pooling their resources, they werenot only able to purchase the missing gifts butadditional gifts as well as a grocery gift card thatwere provided to the family. “I was overwhelmed. I felt very loved and sothankful when they came to the door with thegifts,” said Moore. It was a great night when the gifts were deliv-ered, according to Weidenhamer. “The boys were very surprised and happy withtheir gifts and as a bonus, they got to sit in the retruck,” Weidenhamer commented.“Moments like this make this season what it is.There will be nothing that will remove how theseyoung boys and their grandmother felt when weknocked on their door and shared that moment

with them,” said Ofcer Gina Weidenhamer. Thanks to a group of remen and policemenwho serve the village of Paulding, Dec. 15 turnedout to be a very special day after all, even thoughit was delayed a bit.

Holiday memories bring smiles, tears

Judy Wells/Paulding County Progress

Kim Sutton says this is just the way Virgil Howell looked when he peeked in the kitchen win-dow of her childhood home. Photos of Santa peeking in a window still make her smile when sheremembers that day when she was a little girl.

From Progress Staff Reports Holiday memories are al-ways special. We all have them – good or bad. A meaningfulChristmas song, a childhoodgift, a favorite recipe – theymake us smile and remember. With the holidays the centerof attention these days, the Progress asked several local

residents about their Christmasmemories.Gene Olwin “When I was a kid, my par-ents always took us to GroverHill to see the Christmas lightdisplay at Ladd’s,” says GeneOlwin. “Every year they dec-orated their house, their barnand their whole yard and peoplewould come from all over thecounty to see them. I thought itwas fantastic. It was somethingthat stuck with me my wholechildhood. Then in 1978, whenDianne and I were married andmoved to our place on StateRoute 49 near Payne, we putup one small strand of outside

lights to celebrate our rstChristmas together.” That one strand of lights grad-ually grew into more and moredecorations every Christmas.

“The next year, we got mydad involved, too, and he putup a few strands around theirhouse, which was right nextdoor,” says Gene. “He alsoadded some snowmen, a wavingSanta and a few other decora-tions. Then in 1980, we spreadour decorations out to include

the pond between our homes.That year we even added a full-size stable with a life-size Nativ-ity scene and put a star on top ofthe agpole.” Eventually, the Olwin fam-ilies included lights on the30 blue spruce trees that sur -rounded the pond.

“We added one strand to

each tree every year,” Generecalls. “We decorated for 20years but eventually had to stop because of the power. We hadso many lights and decorations plugged in that we could eithercook supper or watch TV, butnot both, when the lights wereon. We were using so muchelectricity that when it wouldsnow you could see exactlywhere the cords were strungacross the yard because thesnow on top of them melted!After Christmas when we’d putthings away, most of the cordswere melted together. That’swhen we decided it was time tostop decorating and just enjoy

other people’s lights. But it’sone of my fondest Christmasmemories. We donated mostof our decorations to the juniorfair board and they used them intheir drive-through display forseveral years.”Judy Eddy

Through tears of joy, JudyEddy of the Haviland arearecalls one of her fondest Christ-mas memories.

“We always used to go tograndmother’s house nearConvoy,” she says, dabbing hereyes. “It was the best part of thewhole season. Mom had seven brothers and sisters and they’dall be there – with their kids –

except for the two brothers wholived out of state. We had a ball playing with our cousins! Thekids always ate upstairs becausethere wasn’t room for all of usto sit at the table. But we weremuch more interested in play-ing than eating anyway, so wedidn’t care where we sat!” Judy says one of her cousinscreated ceramic gurines eachyear for the holiday.

“He’d always put a Santa onone of the lamp shades,” shesays, chuckling to herself. “Hewas so creative. He made lots

of other things for grandmother,too, but that’s the one I remember most. He passed away afew years ago and I really misshim.” Even though her family didn’t buy presents for each other, theydid have a gift exchange.

“The men would bring aman’s gift and the women awoman’s gift,” she says. “Idon’t really remember muchabout that, though. The thingthat sticks in my mind the mostwas that, after we ate, the menwould all get together andsmoke cigars. That was their big

thing back then. But for us kids,it was all about seeing our cous-ins again and getting to playwith them for the whole day.We lived for Christmas!”Joyce Nichols

For some, it might seem thatgrowing up in a children’s homewould dampen the spirit ofChristmas in a young girl. Butfor Joyce Nichols of rural Pauld-ing, that spirit is as strong as inany school-aged child, perhapseven stronger. “I lived in the Marsh Founda-tion in Van Wert from the age

of ve until I was 14,” she says.“My older brother was there,too, but he was rebellious anddidn’t want to stay. He tried sev-eral times to leave but alwaysended up coming back.” Joyce remembers that therewere four houses at the home,one for girls from rst to sixthgrade and one for the oldergirls. There were two housesfor the boys, too. “Every yearat Christmas time, we got todecorate our house,” she says.“We’d make paper chains orother decorations out of con-struction paper or whatever

else they gave us. It was reallya lot of fun. Sometimes we gotto go home for a visit for twoweeks at a time, or maybe justfor the weekend. We also wereallowed to go on holiday visitsif we had family to go to.” She says Santa would cometo the home on Christmas andgive presents, usually clothes, tothe children.

“I got a really pretty dressone year,” she recalls. “It waswhite and had strawberries onthe skirt. I just loved that dress!We usually had a talent contest,

too, and competed between thedifferent houses. Of course, theolder kids usually won.” When she was 14, Joyce’sfather and his second wife tookher home to live with them.

“I was really happy aboutthat,” she says. It was one of the best presents I ever received!”And nowadays, Joyce pulls outall the stops when the Christmasseason approaches. “I love dec-orating!” she says with the ex-citement of a child. “I still haveall the stockings from when ourkids were small, plus the onesfor the grandkids. I hang them

all up every year. I also deco-rate the entire house right afterThanksgiving. I love this seasonand getting to celebrate it withmy family. That’s what it’s allabout anyway!”Elaine Bradford

Being one of ve kids ina family at Christmas is hardenough. But having a sisterwho’s three years younger andgets the same presents as you istough for a little girl to under-stand. When Paulding residentElaine (Smith) Bradford was

eight, Santa brought her and heryounger sister Anita matchingdancing dolls, the kind that werenearly as tall as a kid and hadstraps on their feet.

“You’d put the straps underyour own feet and then dancearound with the doll,” Elaine re-calls, giggling. “Our dolls were just alike except one had yellow

hair and one had brown. I wasupset because I thought I wasold enough to get presents thatwere specically for me, not for both of us.”

But apparently her parentsthought otherwise, because thatsame year, both girls receivedmatching cowgirl outts. “We each had a hat, little brown skirt and vest, and a setof guns and holsters,” Elainerecalls. “I can remember it likeit was yesterday. I was reallyangry that Anita had gotten thesame thing as me! And everyyear we had to get our picturetaken with our presents. I havea photo at home of us standing

on the porch in our new cowgirloutts.” But perhaps the Christmasthat sticks in Elaine’s memorythe most is the year she woke upin the middle of the night andsmelled something cooking. “Our bedroom was right be-side the living room,” she says.“When I woke up I could smellfood cooking, so I woke Anitaup and told her. We peekedout into the living room andsaw Mom and Dad wrapping presents. And they were fryingHAMBURGERS while theywrapped! I could see a bicycleunder the tree and I just knew itwas MINE! But the sad part is –

I rode my bike to school one dayand forgot it. When I got home,Mom asked me where my bikewas. I ran back to the school, butof course it was gone. We wentto the police station and reportedit, but I never did get it back.”Kim Sutton “I grew up on West PerryStreet in Paulding, right acrossthe street from my grandma andgrandpa, Lonnie and Lois Fresh-water,” says Kim Sutton. “Their good friends, Virgiland Edith Howell, lived rightnext door to them. Every year inDecember, Virgil would dressup as Santa and carry a whitegunny sack full of apples that

he’d pass out to little kids.

Mild, dreary holiday weather has

Eichers hoping for cooler days

Lovina’s daughter Susan received this painted trash can fromfriend Moses’ parents for Christmas one year. His mother paint-ed it by hand.

Monday evening: supper isover, and everyone is relaxingfor the evening. It is Christ-mas week already. Only a fewdays of 2015 will be left by thetime you read this! Daughter Susan is on a two-week break from the RV facto-ry. The school has also closedits doors for two weeks. Myhusband, Joe, worked to-day but is now off work un-til January 4 as well. Thesetwo weeks will y by so fast.Along with the holidays, weare also cleaning for churchservices, which will be heldhere in four weeks. On Sunday our church dis-trict had our annual Christmas potluck dinner after churchservices. As usual, there wasmore than enough food. Therewere ve different casseroles,all kinds of salads and des-serts. Tomorrow is my husbandJoe’s forty-seventh birthday.

His birthday always comes soclose to the holidays. We wantto have our family all togetherin honor of his birthday, but itdoesn’t look like it will workfor everyone until this comingweekend.

The last few weeks we havehad rainy and dreary weather.This is making it hard for oursolar panels to keep our bat-tery pack charged. We have been using a generator to helpcharge the batteries. It is sur- prising how just one day ofsunlight helps with the solar panels! We are always espe-cially thankful for a sunshinyday since our water, freezer,

and other items depend on thesun. Usually, we would havesnowy weather in December,which makes the whole worldseem brighter. The local newspaper said we’re breaking re-cords for our warmest Decem- ber in years.

On Saturday morning theroads were covered in ice untilthe temperature rose and melt-ed most of it. A lot of vehicleswent off the road due to theslippery conditions. We hada friend take us to do someChristmas shopping aroundnoon, and it was still really

slippery. Now today it rainedmost of the day, with the temperature reaching 50 degrees.Joe turned our coal stove

down as far as he can with-out it going out, and we stillhave to open a few windows.We are really saving on coalso far. I wonder if our wholewinter will be this mild. I real-ly am hoping we will get somecolder weather, as it makes itnicer to butcher beef and pork.We will take whatever Godsends for us and be thankful. I wish all of you readers aMerry Christmas. May God be with all of you this holidayseason. I wish good health andsafe travels to everyone. God bless all of you!

Forgery cases joined for January trial date PAULDING – A Detroit man has been released on his ownrecognizance after entering a guilty plea to forgery (F4) inPaulding County Common Pleas Court recently. Devonte D. Hardy, 23, was to be back in Paulding on Mon-day, Dec. 21 for a pre-sentence interview. The only other con-dition of his release is that he have no arrests. His case had been joined with those of his three co-defen-dants for trial on Jan. 20. Hardy, along with Ashely N.

Christmas For Kidsa record-breaker The 2015 edition of Christ-mas For Kids is now in the books and this year was a re-cord-breaker for the 21st annualevent. Coordinator and radio per-sonality Rick Small from Mix98.1 iHeart Radio criss-crossednorthwest Ohio during a 40-day campaign to collect toysand nancial support for theannual Christmas For Kidsfundraiser. Small communities and vil-lages, area schools and busi-nesses throughout the north-west Ohio radio listening areaunited together to set an all-time record for donated toysand collected funds. During this year’s fund-raiser, the Mix staff teamedup with the Herman Hes-selschwardt Detachment ofthe U.S. Marine Corps Leaguefor 10 visits to Paulding Coun-ty. Each live drive lasted twohours. During that time period,money was raised for local chil-dren in need. The dollar amount

has not yet been released. Inter-views conducted in Novemberindicated over 375 PauldingCounty children were eligible. As of last count, the number of donated toys totaledapproximately $200,000 invalue, with all cash donationsamounting to $265,498.84.The cash donated resulted inan increase of nearly $23,000over last year’s total. “My love and thank you forknowing why we are on thisearth, to lift those up in need.I am a blessed man to have allof you in my life, to join me,the Mix staff and the MarineCorps League, in answeringthe call to those in need, espe-cially the kids,” said Small.

America needs

John KasichDear Editor, It’s time to start doing theone thing nobody wants todo: pay attention to politicsto decide on which candidateyou will support for presi-dent. However, fortunately,we know that in a little overa year, there will be a newman, or woman, in the WhiteHouse.

This election year, as themedia constantly puts it,is like none other we haveever seen. The reason theydon’t understand, though, is because the media, the pun-

dits, and the pollsters do notunderstand the American people. We are frustrated. However, we want a leaderwith experience matters. America needs someonewho has shaken up the sys-tem, thrown politics out thewindow, and has gotten the job done. There’s a candidate whohas a resume that stands outamongst the others. 18 yearson the defense committee,actually balanced the federal budget (with a $5 trillion surplus), reformed the Pentagonwhile growing the military,reformed welfare, cut taxes,created jobs, streamlinedregulations, and didn’t leavethose left in the shadows be-hind. “We are Americans rst,and Republicans, and Demo-crats last.” America needs this messageof conservatism, unity, andscal responsibility.

America needs John Kasich. In 2011, the governor cameinto ofce with 365,000 jobslost, $8 billion decit (largestOhio has ever seen), 89 centsin the Rainy Day Fund, andcredit was going down thedrain. The fat cats on WallStreet, the pundits, and themedia said he couldn’t xOhio, but he proved themwrong. John Kasich threw poli-tics out the window and gotright to work. He balancedOhio’s budget, created the

most jobs in Ohio history(385,000), now there’s an $2 billion surplus, cut taxes morethan any sitting governor inAmerica ($5 billion), and he’sgetting rid of silly regulationsthrough his Common SenseInitiative (CSI). No Republican has everwon the White House withoutwinning Ohio. John Kasichwon re-election, in 2014, with63 percent of the vote, 63 per-cent of women, 56 percent ofunion households, and 26 per-cent of minorities. He’s doneit twice, and he’ll do it again. While we watch the adsconsume our television, let’snot forget: everyone looksgood on TV. But, only one looks goodon paper, too. John Kasich has the expe-rience, the temperament andthe testing to be president ofthe United States of America.Visit www.JohnKasich.comto learn more.

Students learn about erosion

Fourth grade students at Antwerp construct their own mini city us-ing the Streamulator to see how it stands up against water erosion.

By Staci MillerEducation specialist

Paulding SWCD Oakwood, Grover Hill andAntwerp fourth grade studentsrecently got the opportunity tolearn about erosion, weather-ing and deposition by utilizingthe Streamulator. The Streamulator is a largetable that enables the studentsto see up close the effects of

erosion. Staci Miller createda PowerPoint for the studentsgoing through the process ofhow weathering and erosion isdestructive and deposition isconstructive. The PowerPointaligned with Ohio Board ofEducation Science standardsfor fourth grade students. Thestudents learned key vocabu-lary words that they utilizedduring the live simulation of theStreamulator. There was a shortvideo at the end of the presenta-tion comparing and contrastingerosion and weathering. Students then got the chanceto see how the Streamulatorworked. This hands-on ac-

tivity allowed the students tosee rst-hand how water owimpacts our environment. TheStreamulator used sand andowing water which allowedthe students to visually seethe effects of moving waterthrough sediment transport,delta formation, erosion anddeposition. The students were able toidentify the different areas ofthe stream where the watercauses erosion, deposition,

ood plain, run, meander andrife. This model was veryinteractive and students wereable to monitor how differ-ent ow rates impacted thestream. The students then gotthe opportunity to create theirown landscapes and buildingstructures and make a hypoth-esis about what will happen to

each structure when the waterows down the stream. The students really enjoyedabout erosion with the Stream-ulator.

The ins and outs of

New Year’s resolutions Of course, on New Years,we make all kinds of vowsand promises known as NewYear’s resolutions. I usuallydon’t make any, but I probablyshould. There are a lot of areasI could improve in my life, but

most of the things I need toimprove upon, I enjoy doing.Plus, the things I need to do toimprove myself, I hate doing. According to a recent poll,the top resolution for everyoneis to either lose weight or gett. While I would like to get back in a size 8 pair of jeans, Idon’t think it is going to happen. I feel that at my age, Ilike to eat and why not indulgemyself? Of course, eatinghealthier may be an option;however, I don’t think choco-late is on the list of a healthydiet. Noooo, that is not one ofmy 2016 resolutions. Thereare just too many good things

to eat out there and I guessmy New Year’s resolution,concerning food, would be totaste as many new foods as Ican and to eat out as much as Ican afford. Another top resolution made by people is to quit smoking.However, according to statis-tics, the amount of smokers inthe U.S. has dropped by ap- proximately 50 percent in the past decade. I am not a smoker, but best of luck to those whoare trying to quit. Another top goal on NewYear’s is to save more mon-ey and spend less. It is a ideato work toward, but so many

times, unexpected expensesarise, so that resolution is alsohard to stick to. I do shop forsales and bargains and lovending a “good deal.” I com- pare prices and cut coupons, but most of the time, I leavemy coupons at home and for-get what they were for. Lots of us make the resolu-tion to relax more. That one Ilike, except most of the timeI like to stay busy and seewhat is going on. Napping ismy idea of relaxation. I oftenthink back to the days of “Lit-tle House on the Prairie” andwonder what it would be liketo be “Ma” and live in that

cozy cabin. However, I never

read or saw on TV that sheever took a nap. So, I think Iwill live in the present where asiesta is just the thing to do. The next most common New Year’s resolution is tolearn something new and ex-citing. I had signed up for a

self defense class last year, butgot the u and did not make it.That may be an option if theyoffer another class. I also gota set of purple hand tools for

Christmas and right now, theonly thing I can recognize is ahammer. One of my goals andresolutions is to learn whatthose tools are and how to xsomething or even hang a pic-ture straight.

People also have resolu-tions to spend more time withtheir family. In today’s world,with all the activities and par-ents both working, it is oftenhard to make time for familyget-togethers. But even if wedo not spend as much familytime as what we would like,make it quality and make ev-ery minute count. For some people, 2015 mayhave been a bad year or maybe it was a good year. 2016 ison the way in and resolutionsmay be made, broken or kept, but I wish everyone a veryHappy New Year. Do you make resolutions?

Do you think they are madeto be broken or do you keepthem? Let me know and I’llgive you a Penny for YourThoughts.
