New Christmas parade held

Jim Bowers/Paulding County Progress

Santa greeted a young admirer after the Paulding Chamber ofCommerce’s rst Christmas Parade on Dec. 1. Following the pa-rade music and refreshments closed out the evening at the HerbMonroe Community Park.

The Wayne Trace 8th Grade and High School Concert Choirs travelled to Fort Wayne to partici-pate in the annual Festival of Trees at The Embassy Theater. They performed several Christmassongs for those who were there to look at the trees and enjoy the entertainment on the grandstage. Afterward, they were able to enjoy the many trees decorated by local businesses.

PAULDING – Organizers ofthe Paulding Chamber of Com-merce’s Christmas parade arevery pleased with the rst event. Held the evening of Tuesday,Dec. 1 in downtown Paulding,

the parade included 15 units,notably Santa Claus and sever-al lighted entries ranging from business and organization par-ticipants to a horse drawn car-riage with solo riders, the Se-nior Center to law enforcementand re department personnel. “We (committee members)are still smiling,” said BrendaCrawford, part of the chamber’sMerry & Bright committee.“We were blessed with a won-derful evening for a parade.” Parade participants traveleddown Main Street from theMethodist church parking lot, past the Herb Monroe Commu-

nity Park and east on JacksonStreet to the delight of about550 enthusiastic onlookers. “I was pleasantly sur-

prised to see the turn out andto look down the street atall the kids. That was awe-some,” noted Crawford. The Oakwood Communi-ty Band performed and re-

freshments were served atHerb Monroe CommunityPark. New lights were un-veiled on the gazebo and sev-eral trees on the courthousesquare. Santa strolled thegrounds for a meet and greet. “We were very happy withthe event and felt it was very suc-cessful,” Crawford enthused.“We knew it would be smallthis year, being the rst year. “We want to grow it everyyear,” said Crawford. “Therewill be a follow-up meetingnext week; we are already col-lecting ideas for next year.” Last year, the chamber

added greenery, lights and bows to the downtown land-scape for the holidays. Thisyear, they expanded to the

rst Christmas parade andlights on the courthouse lawn. The chamber has receivedand will continue to receive do-nations to fund the new holidaylights and parade. Crews from

Solid Ground invested about90 man-hours to put up lightson three trees and the gazebo. Donations may be madeyear round. To contribute,contact the chamber ofce at419-399-5215, or email pauld-ingchamber@gmail .com. In the future, organiz-ers hope to coordinatewith other local events. “We’d like to eventually joinforces with other communityevents, pulling together to havea one-day Christmas festival,”Crawford said in closing. As a side note, Crawfordsaid the parade was lmed

from a drone by Jerry Hes-sel. The video may be viewedon the Paulding Chamber ofCommerce Facebook account.

Small businessinnovation centerto open next week

By JOE SHOUSE Staff Writer

PAULDING – A ribbon cutting to ofcially open the Small

Business Innovation Center will convene on Tuesday, Dec. 15at 4 p.m. Located in downtown Paulding at 103 East Perry Street, the newCenter is housed at what was formerly the Paulding County LawLibrary.

The purpose of the center will be to provide ofce space for en-trepreneurs, start-up businesses and organizations wishing to lo-cate in Paulding County. The interior of the building has received extensive upgrades toinclude a new ceiling, LED lighting and carpeting.

“We believe the carpeting was installed in 1965 and it needed re- placed. Along with the updates, we have included a reception area, re-strooms, four private ofce spaces plus a conference room and trainingarea,” said Paulding County Economic Director, Jerry Zielke. The Economic Director visited a similar set up in Marian, Ohioand saw rst hand the benets it was bringing to their area. Know-ing the need for ofce space in Paulding County, Zielke approachedcounty leaders about developing a center locally. “The building is currently owned by the Paulding County Com-

misioners and will be leased to Paulding County Economic Devel-opment, Inc.,” said Zielke. Tenants for the four ofces have been secured and will be mov-ing into the new facility later this month or early January. “We are excited to be opening this center in Paulding to pro-vide affordable ofce space to start-up business and organizations.This project would not have been possible without the support ofmy board of directors, the Paulding County commisioners, Nick

Wednesday, December 9, 2015 Paulding County Progress - 3A

We had a nice, enjoyableThanksgiving Day. We haveso many blessings and somuch to be thankful for!

My sister Emma, Jacob andfamily, sisters Verena and Su-san, and daughter Elizabethand Timothy spent the daywith us. We set the table forall of us. I stuffed two turkeyswith dressing. I like to lay

strips of bacon on top. Joe’sdad always did this. It keepsthe turkey moist while bakingit, and the avor of bacon addsan extra taste to the turkey.

Also on the menu weremashed potatoes, gravy, corn,macaroni salad, corn chip sal-ad, a variety of sliced cheeses(such as Pepper Jack, Colby,and Swiss), veggies and dip,homemade bread, butter andstrawberry jam, dill pickles,hot peppers, fruit dip (withorange, apple and pineappleslices), pumpkin roll, pump-kin pies, a variety of cookies,and ice cream. We had waytoo much food, but when ev-

eryone brings something, it alladds up! I don’t think manywere hungry for dessert. Wesnacked later in the day. Games were played, withConnect Four and Aggrava-tion being the main ones. Wehave a game board that neph-ew Jacob made, and we like playing with six people inthree teams. It can get reallyexciting—and aggravatingas well! Joe and I, Mose andSusan, and Timothy and Eliz-abeth played this in the eve-ning, too. Daughters Verenaand Loretta left with friends inthe afternoon and had supperwith them.

Sons Joseph, 13, and Kevin,10, went home with Timothyand Elizabeth. Joseph wantsto go deer hunting with Tim-othy. Kevin enjoys going tospend time with their dogs,Crystal and Izzy. On Friday Joe and I wentto Jacob and Emma’s house.Joe helped with muddingdrywall in the new upstairs bedrooms. I took our leftoverfood from Thanksgiving din-ner and helped Emma preparethe meal for the men workingthere. Timothy and Elizabethdropped the boys off thereon their way to town to goshopping. The girls stayed

home and washed clothes andmopped the oors and cleanedup from Thanksgiving Day.Son Benjamin went to workhelping Mose at his sawmill.I want to help Emma with painting the walls when she isready to start on that.

Kevin was tted for new leg braces to help him with hismuscular dystrophy. We haveseen a lot of improvementwith the braces, althoughKevin does not look forwardto wearing them again. Thedoctors suggest he keep wear-ing them, so we will try themagain. Yesterday daughters Vere-

na and Loretta and I went toa Tupperware shower for ourneighbor girl Ruth, who wasmarried in October. Lunch wasserved to all of us. From therewe traveled a few miles fartherto go see what bargains wecould nd on material at the lo-cal Amish store that was hav-ing a sale. We found enoughmaterial to keep us busy sew-ing for Christmas gifts. Timeis limited between now andChristmas!

I’ll share the corn chip saladrecipe that daughter Elizabeth brought on Thanksgiving Day.

Ed Bohn, Paulding County EMA, an-nounced that Christmas For Kids has begun.He was stationed around the courthousesquare on Nov. 16. Bohn also reported he will be examiningthe LEPC fund to determine if any funds can be transferred to the EMA fund. He provideda rundown of LECP expenditures since 2012and what is projected for 2016 and also aquick review of what the funds may be usedfor. Bohn noted the HazMat Fund (092) may be utilized to reimburse local rst respondersfor supplies used for clean up of hazardousspills. Dollars to replenish the fund are avail-able from the state EMA when the appropri-ate paperwork is completed. Brion Hanenkratt, E-911, presented a billfrom P&R Communication Services for theupgrades on the communication system. Hereported radios are working better than theyever have, noting there will always be weakareas in the county. Hanenkratt added that all three countyschool systems have been contacted aboutupgrading their equipment as well. Hanen-kratt will be providing quotes to the schoolsfor radios from P&R Communication Ser-vices; however, he emphasized a differentvendor may be used if the schools so choose. Board of Elections - Brenda Crawford, JanCommers, Stan Harmon, David Cline, LindaWeidenhamer and Bob Burkley - Crawford presented an agreement from the Secretaryof State to install wiring in the BOE building. Cline then led the discussion with thecommissioners regarding the BOE’s 2016 budget expenses worksheet. He noted that2016 is a presidential election year and theBOE would no doubt not be able to meet thedollar amount the commissioners had appro- priated. Crawford reported positive results fromhaving used the poll pads during the No-vember 2015 election. She also informed thecommissioners there is legislature pending

which would require another early votinglocation. Crawford expressed her concernabout the added cost to their department(should this legislature pass through) withstafng and location expenses. Zartman explained the process by whichthe appropriations are decided. He notedthe commissioners work from the estimatedrevenue provided to them from the BudgetCommission (consisting of the Prosecutor,the Auditor, and the Treasurer). Cline notedthe BOE worked diligently in providing a“true” budget. The commissioners noted the BOE’sappropriations were increased in lieu of the2016 presidential election year and relatedadded expenses. Cline further explained thatofce equipment and furniture need to be up-

dated. The commissioners attended a reorga-nizational meeting of the Community Cor-rections Act Planning Board at the CountyCourt Probation ofce.

The Probation Ofce had a total of 1,083appointments/contacts since July 1, with atotal of 309 offenders on supervised proba-tion. Johnson reviewed the various programscompleted by defendants and also noted508.75 hours of community service per-formed by probationers, totaling $4,120.88(minimum wage/hour) of nancial savingsto various community service sites. Restitu-tion, court costs and child support totals werereviewed. Johnson educated the group on the ad-vantages of the Electronic Home Monitor-ing (EMHA) Program, noting seven proba-tioners have completed the program, savingthe county $22,995 in incarceration costs.Ten cases have used the SCRAM Unit, withnine completing the program successfully.Judge Rister commented several SCRAM probationers have requested to be extended beyond their recommended time (as self pay), noting better accountability. Johnson noted that most probationershave ties to Paulding County and many have

expressed thanks for a second chance. Healso noted the good working relationship withPaulding County Child Support EnforcementAgency in collecting child support paymentsfrom probationers. Johnson briey explained that probationersmay “buy out” their community service hoursif they are employed. Probationers may chosethe approved community service site and payminimum wage for the number of hours theyhave been assigned.

Joe Burkard notedPaulding County’s probation ofcers have ahigh volume of probationers (above the stateaverage). Turvy, TRI-County ADAMHSBoard director, noted Paulding County has

He also notedthe state has approved Paulding County’shazmat plan. Langham joined the meeting. Bohn explained what he learned at the meeting heattended. He shared his knowledge about the petroleum/crude oil and the ethanol that is being transported by rail across the state of

Ohio, specically through Paulding County.He noted the crude oil is coming from theBakken oil eld in North Dakota and the eth-anol transported is used to blend in with gas-oline. In a recent survey, Norfolk and South-ern Railroad reported a signicant increasein transporting these two products, with 4million gallons traveling through PauldingCounty by rail on a weekly basis. Bohn reported the Bakken oil eld isconsidered very productive compared to theelds in Saudi Arabia. He noted the residue left in the rail cars isa concern as they travel back to the terminalsin North Dakota. Estimates are there is still100 gallons of residue/material left in the railcars. First responders and re ghters havehad to gear up planning and training to han-

dle possible derailments where volatile fuelsspillage may occur. Six local reghters attended a training inPueblo, Colorado, recently and Bohn antic-ipates several more will receive training in2016. Railroads are being pro-active withEMA directors and re ghters, providinginsight on the handling of volatile fuel spill-age.

Bohn also noted the re response sectionof Paulding County’s EMA Response Planwill be revamped to include informationrelating to crude oil and ethanol spills. Henoted it is the EMA director’s responsibilityto provide training to local re departmentsand rst responders. The commissioners have fronted the fundsfor a larger-sized trailer and equipment tohandle such an emergency. Bohn will applyfor grant dollars to replace the funds. Bohn reported there is a minimum of250 gallons of AR (alcohol resistant) Foamavailable for Paulding County if needed. Heappreciates being able to attend training andhas a better understanding of what needs to be done if a derailment involving volatilehazardous materials. Bohn added that until pipelines are built, rail is the primary trans- portation of crude and ethanol.EXECUTIVE SESSION A motion was made by Zartman to gointo executive session at 9:45 a.m. with thePaulding County EMA director to discuss personnel matters.

Mercy plans open enrollment event Dec. 11 in Defiance

Mercy Health and Summa Health createlargest clinically integrated network in Ohio

Blue Christmas service:Comfort to those

who mourn PAULDING – For many people, the approaching Christ-

mas holiday does not bring the joy and happiness advertisedon television or in greeting cards. Psychologists have longknown that the contrived good cheer of the holiday seasoncan actually make some people who are dealing with heart- break feel worse. Holidays in the culture are often about families, and fami-lies are not always happy institutions. The “Blue Christmas”concept serves an important function for those who have lostloved ones.

The biggest relief for people who are grieving comes whenit is named. The Blue Christmas service confronts feelings ofgrief and loss head-on. Cultures across the world have festi-vals of light this time of year. It is really dark, and it is really ahard time for many people. This church service acknowledges just how dark the dark is. Blue Christmas services include an emphasis on candles.Everyone will be invited to light a candle in memory of some-one or to mark an event in their lives. This service has a quiet-er and more somber feel then a traditional Christmas worshipservice. Scripture, music and reections focus on the comfortGod offers during dark times, the “winter of our souls.” The festivities of the season seem to magnify the grief or pain people are experiencing. The commercials tout “Joyous Noel” and carolers sing “Tidings of comfort and joy”… butmany among us have hearts that are breaking. A Blue Christmas service of remembrance and hope is be-

ing held on Sunday, Dec. 20 at 4 p.m. in the sanctuary of St.Paul Lutheran Church, 601 Flat Rock Drive, Paulding. All are welcome to participate in this service. For moreinformation email [email protected] or call 419-399-2320.

Part 1 of 2

As Christmas approaches,our love and best wishes goout to our troops away fromhome. We are here in the landof the free and the home ofthe brave forever grateful tothose who are serving andhave served to protect ourfreedom.

One story called “TheChristmas Truce” was brought to my attention andI felt this story needed to beshared.

The day was ChristmasDay, 1914, during WWI. TheFrench, German, and Brit-ish soldiers were only vemonths into the war and theywere sick of senseless kill-ings and the battles. It was just after dawn on a bitinglycold Christmas Day in 1914,and one of the most extraor-dinary incidents of the GreatWar was about to unfold. As the troops were hun-kered down in their trenchesin sub zero weather, therewere unmistakable wordsdrifting across the frozen bat-tleeld: ‘Stille Nacht. Heilige Nacht. Alles Schlaft, einsamwacht’. To the ears of theBritish troops peering overtheir trench, the lyrics mayhave been unfamiliar but thehaunting tune was unmis-takable. After the last notea lone German infantrymanappeared holding a small treeglowing with light. ‘MerryChristmas. We not shoot, younot shoot.’

Weary men climbed hesi-tantly at rst out of trenchesand stumbled into no man’sland. Walking over deadcorpses, they shook hands,sang carols, lit each other’scigarettes, swapped tunic buttons and addresses and,most famously, played foot- ball, kicking around empty bully-beef cans and usingtheir caps or steel helmets

as goalposts. It was even reported they had roasted a pig.The unauthorized Christmastruce spread across much ofthe 500-mile Western Frontwhere more than a millionmen were encamped. A lot of speculation hasarose out of the ChristmasTrench story. One story isthat a barber offered to cut allthe troops hair, even the ene-mies. While the guards wereon duty, the young soldiersfraternized and celebrated

Christmas, They told eachother that if they were told tore, to just shoot up in the air. According to records held by the World War One Veter-ans’ Association, there is onlyone man, Alfred Anderson, inthe world still alive who spent25 December 1914 serving ina conict that left 31 million people dead, wounded ormissing. Alfred Anderson was 18 atthe time. In an interview withThe Observer, he spoke ofhis experiences on that coldChristmas Day. He was happy, healthy and surrounded by most of his former schoolfriends, who had all joinedthe Territorial Army togetherin 1912 and thought that theywere at the start of an excit-ing adventure.
