Ukraine delegation learns

about renewable energy By JOE SHOUSE

Progress Staff Writer

HAVILAND – A Ukraine delegation re-cently spent a week in northwest Ohio learn-ing about renewable and alternative ener -gy sources. One day was spent in PauldingCounty as the delegation received a rst handlook at how renewable energy is working inHaviland at the Haviland Plastic Products/Quasar BioMass facility. Also visited duringlast Thursday’s tour was the Timber II WindFarm near Payne. The energy efciency professional programwas sponsored by the Open World Leader-ship Center while being organized throughthe Great Lakes Consortium. The week longlearning experience allowed the group ofyoung Ukrainian professionals the opportu-nity to learn, while viewing practices here in

northwest Ohio. The group is interested tolearn about U.S. practices in improving ener -

gy efciency and alternatives that will benettheir country in the future.

The four-member delegation included bothmen and women from different parts of theUkraine with each having at least conversa-tional English language skills.

“The group is excited about learning andthey are eager to see how different communi-ties in the United States deal with energy ef -ciency,” said project manager Dr. ElizabethBalint. Joining Balint were Lolita Serhiivna Dem-chenkova, head of the Board for the Center forEuropean Unity Studies; Maryna MykolaivnaIlchuk, chairperson, lawyer at the Arzinger

Joe Shouse/Paulding County Progress

A delegation from the Ukraine visited Paulding County last Thursday. The purpose for theirvisit to northwest Ohio was to see rst hand the operation of alternative energy facilities and togain knowledge and understanding in ways to develop renewable energy for the Ukraine whilefocusing on economic development.

Paulding grad studying coral reef this summer By JIM LANGHAM

Feature Writer Paulding High School gradu-ate Tiffany Razo will be spend-ing much of her time this sum-mer sampling patches of coralreefs around San Salvador,with the help of multiple assis-tant researchers. Razo hopes todetermine the main inuencingfactors of the reef communitiesand determine if the reefs arein a state of decline or have be-come “healthier” since 1998.

“Coral patch reef communi-ties worldwide are showing ageneral pattern of decline anddegradation due to a number offactors, including stress relatedmortality, diseases, and subse-quent algal overgrowth,” saidRazo. “Caribbean reefs are amongthe most heavily impacted, butSan Salvador coral commu-nities have shown remarkableresilience to adverse inuences

that have plagued numerousCaribbean reefs,” noted Razo. Razo said that San Salvadoris a remote Bahamian islandwith limited local anthropo-genic impacts to coral reef eco-systems, resulting in near pris-tine reef communities. Of major concern is that the growth intourist facilities may cause thereefs to have a different out-look. “The tourism is increasingand this may further impact the

reef communities,” said Razo.“The last published assessmentof these reefs was in 1998. Mystudy will compare the state ofreefs now with the previouswork. “Coral reefs are crucial eco-systems to sustaining island populations, as a food sourcefor local shermen and eco-nomically as area ecotourism.Tiffany Razo and her sister, Rachel Razo, dive off the island of San Salvador in the Bahamas.

Tiffany, a marine science graduate student, is studying the health of coral reefs there. Rachel is just nishing a biology degree from Trine University.

It’s time to

assess crop

loss damageBy JIM LANGHAM

Feature Writer PAULDING – Ohio StateUniversity Extension educa-tor Sarah Noggle is spend-ing her time these days as-sessing crop damage fromrecent heavy rains. While itis difcult to estimate totalimpact, Noggle said there isno doubt that ponding andheavy run-off rain has takena toll on Paulding Countyelds. “We got quite a bit morerain last week,” Noggle said.

“Flooding issues increased because of ponding pres-sure in ooding situations.I would say people need to prepare to start to truly as-sess crop loss damage. “In corn areas, it’s hard totell the affect that it’s had orwhether the corn is going tosurvive,” continued Noggle.“In some of the earlier corn,the crops could possibly still be there. In the later plantedcorn, there are going to besome issues.” Noggle said that corn cansurvive up to four days instanding water, providingthat weather conditions are

cool. The risk potentiallyincreases in warm weather.She has been getting reportsof issues of corn with root-worm. She noted variety candetermine the damage as-sessment. “As we see rootworm pop-ulate, they start to kill devel-oping corn roots,” Nogglesaid. “The only good thingthat comes out of rain is thatheavy rains tend to drownout small rootworm larvae.Whatever hybrid you use,farmers still need to look atthose roots once larvae is

complete.” Noggle said that saturatedsoil conditions will also pro-vide the optimum conditionsfor the water molds that arecommon across the state.

“In these cases, the wholeroots are brown, sometimeswith dark brown lesions onthe roots and the tissues can be brown to tan,” Nogglesaid. “Both Phytophthorasojae pythium are contribut-ing to this problem. “Once the soybeans are atthe V2 growth state or great-

er, the protection from theseed treatment is gone andwe are relying on the soybean plants’ defense systemto mitigate the damage,”added Noggle. “Obviously the soybeanshave been planted laterthan corn. Many elds havestanding water. If you dig upthe roots of the plants, theymay or may not be brown,”said Noggle. “You can lookat the cortical cells on theoutside of the plant. You can just take those and pull themoff.” Noggle said that in plantsthat are under water, oxygen

has been deleted and car- bon dioxide is building up,which causes the soybean plants to suffocate. Any wet soil doesn’t getas many nodules, Noggleobserved. As wet as thingsare, we have perfect condi-tions for water mold. Concerning wheat, Nog-gle said that two main issuesare the development of headscabs and vomitoxin. If awheat eld has head scabor head blight, it is going toreduce the yield as kernels become infected.

Training set for grain bin rescuesBy Sarah Noggle

OSU Extension Educator PAULDING – How manyof you have ever watched theABC television show, “In anInstant?” The episode aired back on Saturday night, April 4and is one that hits close to ourcommunity. As the PauldingCounty Extension Educator forAgriculture, Farm Safety is oneof the most important topics ourcommunity can benet from being educated about. The “In an Instant” show wasa re-enactment of Arick Bak-er’s grain bin entrapment. Heis from New Providence, Iowa,and the accident happened inJune 2013. He was totally bur-ied under several feet of cornfor approximately three hours.He was using a PVC pipe to tryto break up some crusty corninside a large bin when he wassucked down completely to thedischarge hole of the bin. He,his mom and his father, and res-cue workers re-enacted the dayso accurately that it was almostlike the actual day of the acci-dent. Interspersed with the terror ofthe reenactment were interludesof a few minutes where the people involved explained exactlyhow they felt that day. I can’timagine anyone in agriculture being able to watch the showwithout becoming emotionallyinvolved. This program wasone of the most incredible thatI have ever watched. Arick’smom had no trouble replicat-ing the terror she felt that daywhile waiting for the rescueworkers to nd her son. Shedrove her car to the bin site at125 mph. When she tried to call

her daughter, she couldn’t even

complete a sentence. The show was especiallyemotional for me because I canremember as a child headingout to the machine shed withmy siblings and playing in the back of a hopper wagon full ofcorn, soybean or wheat, with-out my parents or grandparentsknowing. Back in the 1980s,

the grain wagons weren’t thesize they are now, and it wasfun to pretend were digging fora buried treasure. At that timeas young as we were my broth-er and I had no idea how dan-gerous this could be – that is,until my father found out. OnceDad explained the dangers, wewere done playing in the hopper wagons. As I started at the ExtensionOfce late in 2013, farm safe-ty has been one of my highest priorities. Since 1978, PurdueUniversity has been document-ing agricultural conned spaceincidents throughout the UnitedStates. Approximately 1,500cases have been documentedand entered into Purdue’s Ag-riculture Conned Spaces Inci-dent Database (PACSID), withthe earliest case dating back to1964. Today, too many times,victims of grain entrapment areworking in much fuller bins,and things go south so quicklythat they’re pulled beneath the pile and suffocated literallywithin seconds. Bin entrapments often end inutter tragedy: death of a father,sibling, other family member,or employee – maybe someoneyou ate dinner with every day orthe last person to tell you “goodnight” each evening. Now those“good nights” are gone forever.

in December 2014, I sched-

uled The Ohio State Universitygrain bin entrapment simulator,which is also part of the OhioFire Academy, for trainingin June. This Friday evening,June 26 starting at 6:30 p.m.will be a live re-enactment bythe local re departments forfarmers, families, communitymembers, grain elevator employees or anyone with inter-est and the best news is youdon’t have to be from Paulding

County.

The OSU Extension Of -ce at 503 Fairground Drive,Paulding, will be the site of the basic reenactment and training. This is our community andarea’s chance to be trained.The cart comes at a cost andwe have great support fromcommunity entities such asPaulding County Area Foun-dation and Paulding CountyFarm Bureau. As I workedwith groups, I felt our local re

ghters needed to be trained.

After talking with Ed Bohn,our local EMA director, hefelt the reghter training wasa great idea also. So Saturdaymorning starting at 9 a.m., wewill have reghter trainingthat any reghter volunteer inPaulding County can receivefor free. These men and women arethe ones out to save lives. Manyof the local re departments areworking with Lisa McClure

of the Paulding County Area

Foundation to receive thesegrain bin rescue units. Nowwe are providing the trainingfor them. I hope we are neverin this situation of a grain binentrapment in the county, but ifwe are and ONE life is saved,all the training was worth it! For additional questions, youcan email questions to [email protected], walk in theOSU Extension Ofce at 503Fairground Drive, Paulding, or

call 419-399-8225.

The Ohio State University grain bin entrapment simulator will be on site this Friday evening, June 26, at the Paulding CountyFairgrounds as training will be conducted for grain bin rescues. The public is invited to view the training exercise.

and strategic planning of theeconomic development department. “The group is interestedin looking at ways in con-necting ideas for the futureand economic developmentmuch like the way it is work-ing in Paulding County,” saidBalint. While visiting the HavilandPlastics Products facility, thegroup learned how Quasarand the plastics facility part-nered in the initial construc-tion of a one-megawatt an-aerobic digestion renewableenergy facility. The processin developing renewable en-ergy is a natural one wheremicroorganisms break down biomass in the absence ofoxygen. The Quasar facility processes 116 wet tons perday of organic waste usingvarious resources includingregional food wastes, fats,oils and greases as well asmanure. The energy createdis then sold to neighboringHaviland Plastics to offsetthe need for traditional fuelssuch as coal and natural gas. Today, most organic wasteis sent to landlls or incinera-

Tiffany Razo, a graduateof Paulding High School and

University of Saint Francis, isreassessing coral reefs off aCaribbean island this summer.

Increasing our understandingof these reef communities willallow for better managementand monitoring of these essen-tial ecosystems,” added Razo.

Razo has conducted severalcoral reef community ecol-ogy studies in the Bahamas,including assessing coral reefhealth on San Salvador patchreefs and assisting in studieson lionsh and populationsaround Andros. She receivedher B.S. in biology from theUniversity of Saint Francisand is currently a marine sci-ence graduate student at Jack -sonville University. According to Razo, research-ers will travel to the Gerace Re-search Center on San Salvadorto collect coral, algae and shcommunity data through scuba

diving. The data collected fromve patch reefs will be com- pared to data collected from1998 on the same reefs, andanalysis will give researchersgreater insight to communitydynamics of these patch reefcommunities, observed Razo. “A goal of this research is tocreate a baseline of reef com-munity data that could continu-ally be monitored by the manyresearchers or university stu-dents to track the trajectory ofthese patch reefs,” said Razo. “At a time when these es-sential coral reefs ecosystemsare being adversely impacted by numerous factors, researchidentifying primary inuencingfactors on these reefs will helpfuture recovery,” continuedRazo.

Paulding County Wall of Honor:

A place to remember By JIM LANGHAM

Feature Writer PAULDING – After many hours of researchand reporting, a large group of county residentsmet in the Paulding County Courthouse on Fridayafternoon to dedicate the new “Wall of Honor”highlighting those from the county who gave theirlives from all branches of military service to pro-

tect the freedom of county residents. “The names of men and women from PauldingCounty who gave their lives in the line of duty, protecting those freedoms we so enjoy, are in-scribed on this wall of honor,” states a brochurethat was distributed for the occasion. “As you wander along this path and read theirnames, please take a moment to celebrate theirlives while you offer a silent thank you,” contin-ued the brochure. “Some gave much, these gave all.” Members of Post 587 presented the calls andthe Pledge of Allegiance followed by comments by State Rep. Tony Burkley. “If we don’t have something to remind us ofwhat happened or those who sacriced, we tendto forget,” said Burkley. “When we come into this building, we are reminded to say, ‘Thank you.’ “Whether service to give life or a service peri-

od, these are those who have laid down their livesfor our freedom,” noted Burkley. Paulding County Commissioner Mark Holts- berry immediately thought of Zach Wobler, thelast individual to lay down his life for residents

in Paulding County. Holtsberry said that he hopesthe last names have been written on the plaques. “I can remember in some of my research wherethese men died and where they are buried,” Holts- berry said. “For me, the word is ‘hope,’” continued Holts- berry. “It is hope for my family’s future, yourfamily’s future and Paulding County’s future.

“Good men must die, but death cannot kill theirnames,” continued Holtsberry. For Veteran’s Service ofcer Jonathan Lichty,such events as Friday’s dedication is a reminder ofteachers, educators, family members and friendsthat help remember the payment of the supremesacrament. Lichty invited those who so desired to cometo the altar and appreciate the sacrice made. Heinvited families to come and take in this specialevening. Janet Commers, deputy director at the countyelection board, said, with tears in her eyes, thatFriday’s dedication brought memories of a wholeline of family members who had made sacricesfor our freedom.

“My dad was in World War II,” said Commers.“I’m a lifetime member of the legion auxiliary;my grandma signed me up.”

“Thank God for the wonderful memory ofthose who lost loved ones. This is a nice tribute,”noted Holtsberry. “This is a very tting moment for PauldingCounty.”

State Rep. Tony Burkley and Payne resident Tim Baumle glance over the many names listed onthe completed Wall of Honor located in the rotunda of the Paulding County courthouse.

Due to the extreme wet weather, many corn elds are lackingnitrogen or have lost nitrogen from side-dressing. Nitrogen canchange forms in the soil due to the wet weather and be releaseback into the atmosphere showing yellowing in plants.

“We had a good day visit-ing with the Ukrainian dele-gation. We shared ideas, explained some of our goals andanswered many of the ques-tions. Both groups gatheredvaluable information to ben-et the future of renewable

energy,” said certied energyauditor and local engineerScott Strahley.

Published! What that meansfor the Eicher Amish home

Lovina and her family worked on invitations for Elizabeth’s up-coming wedding. The couple will be married on Aug. 14 at 9 a.m.

We are already more thanhalfway through June 2015.The year is going way toofast! On Saturday my husband,Joe, had to work at the RVfactory. They are very busy,which makes it hard for him to

get caught up with work hereat home. The rest of us helped Tim-othy move his belongings tohis new place on Saturday. Joe biked over after he came homefrom the factory. It was a veryhot and humid day. Some ofTimothy’s family were alsothere to help. On Sunday in church,daughter Elizabeth and Timo-thy were published to be mar-ried. “Getting published” inan Amish congregation means publicly announcing your en-gagement. They chose Aug.14, 2015, for their weddingday. We have a lot to do to pre-

pare for this wedding! It willalso be a very big change forour family: the rst of our pre-cious children to move awayfrom home and start a newlife. Congratulations to Tim-othy and Elizabeth! Timothyis a wonderful, kind man, andwe are happy to have him joinour family. He is the last ofhis 10 siblings to get married,while Elizabeth is the rst ofher 8 siblings. Timothy has alot of nieces and nephews al-ready. The wedding services will be held over at our neighbors’(Joas and Susan’s) place. Thereception will be here in our

new pole barn. We still have quite a bitof sewing to do before thewedding. Elizabeth sewedher wedding dress. She alsosewed Susan’s and Loretta’s.We still need to sew dressesfor Verena, Lovina, and me.Then we also need to sew newshirts for the boys and Joe. Wehad hoped to have all the sew-ing done this spring, but withall the sewing we had to dofor the other weddings, we arerunning behind. Timothy’s sister was mak-

ing the wedding invitationfor Timothy and Elizabeth.His sister had a baby severalweeks ago and was runningout of time to nish them. OnSaturday after we had every-thing moved for Timothy, thegirls and I and some of hisfamily helped nish some ofthe wedding invitations. Tim-

othy’s brother-in-law droppedoff the rest today, so we needto nish them so that Eliza- beth can send out the rest ofher invitations. They are verynice, but they took a lot oftime. Also, my friend Ruthdeserves the credit for printingthe top of the invitation. Elizabeth’s 21st birth-day was on Sunday too. Thechurch sang “happy birthday”to her. We surprised her in theevening with an ice creamcake. Chicken was also on themenu. The ducks, Donald and Dai-sy, that Susan’s friend Mose bought for Lovina, 11, andKevin, 9, are really growing.They stay around the barn andenjoy this rainy weather.

The Great Black Swamp rises again

In case it’s slipped yourmind that we live in whatwas once known as The GreatBlack Swamp, the weatherof the last week or so shouldhave jogged your memory.We’ve gotten a glimpse ofwhat the settlers before us hadto deal with on a daily basis before nally getting controlof the drainage issue. In spite of tile and largeditches, the rains we’ve gottenhave taken their toll on farm-land, gardens, and basementsand more than a few of ushave experienced some anxi-ety over it. But it’s also one ofthe things that we accept if wedecide to live in an area likethis. Inasmuch as gardens areconcerned, it seems as thoughwe’re now singing a differenttune than the usual how togarden with more drought tol-erant plants – plants that willthrive in our hot, dry monthsof July and August withoutsupplemental watering. We’re now finding outwhich plants are water lovers.The weeds. Oh, the weeds!They’ll survive anything. Butyou can also clearly see thathostas and roses are enjoyingthe presence of all that mois-ture. And the lilies and cone-owers have never grown sotall. Most people have low spotsin their garden that tend tohold onto moisture longerthan the rest of it and that’swhere situating a rain gardenwould make sense. If youdon’t want to plant a rain gar-den proper, then these are thespots to plant those things thatnot only survive excess mois-

ture, but thrive on it. Ligularia. Remember howI vowed to remove that water

hog a year or two ago becauseit seemed I couldn’t keep ithappy by giving it enoughwater to grow well? I nallygot rid of it. Maybe it’s thegardening version of howwashing windows makes itrain. Perhaps every time weneed a rain shower, I shoulddig out a hydrangea or some-thing. Yep, hydrangeas love water

too. Just look at their botani-cal name. “Hydra” denoteswater and the H. macrophylla types especially love it. In mygardens, they’re the indicator plants. When they start wilt-ing, I know it’s time to thinkabout giving the gardens somesupplemental water. There are some hydrangeasthat tolerate dry conditions better than others though. H.quercifolia, or oak leaf hy-drangea, (’Ruby Slippers’ and‘Snow Queen’) is one. H. pa-niculata (’Limelight’ and Va-nilla Strawberry™) is another.

I can tell you from experi-ence that yellow ag iris ( Iris pseudacorus) is happy as aclam in soggy soil. In fact,it was contemplating worlddominance in one part of mygarden until I showed it what’swhat. I shared the love witha few of my fellow garden-

ers who wanted a plant thatspread nicely and looked goodwhile doing it. Louisiana andSiberian irises like it on themoist end of the spectrum too. Though I have the perfectlocation for native peren-nial cardinal ower ( Lobe-lia cardinalis) and its bluecousin ( Lobelia siphilitica),and many of my friends havegreat success with them, afterthree tries they still elude me.One season is all I’ve beenable to manage with eitherof them. I’ve been told theylike company and do betterwhen planted in groups ofthree or more, so if you wantto try them, keep this in mind.They’re both beautiful plantsand the hummingbirds simplythrong to the red one. Other plants that enjoymoist locations include Asti lbe, milkweed ( Ascle- pias), lily-of-the-valley (Con-vallaria majalus), Rose ofSharon ( Hibiscus syriacus), bee balm ( Monarda), peren-nial forget-me-not ( Myoso-tis scorpioides), spiderwort(Tradescantia ), and foamower (Tiarella), just to namea few of the more commonlyfound ones. Many of the plants I’vementioned here like it on thewetter side, but not all willtolerate standing water. Youcan Google them for morespecic information, contactthe county extension ofce,or email me. In the meantime, I surewish it would stop raining for just a day or two. Read more at Kylee’s blog,Our Little Acre, at www.ourlittleacre.com and on
