Electric Cooperative employees raiseddouble the amount they expected fora program honoring veterans, HonorFlight. The fruits of their labors and othersin the area cooperating with them wererevealed at noon Saturday during a spe-cial ceremony. A check for $141,754.90 was pre-sented to Honor Flight representatives by PPEC employees during a noon pro-gram at PPEC corporate headquartersin Paulding. “It’s overwhelming how our employees and the region came togetherto make this all happen, but it’s nothard when you have a cause like HonorFlight,” said George Carter, CEO andgeneral manager of PPEC.

The cost to sponsor an entire ightaverages between $65,000 to $70,000,so enough was raised to support twoights to Washington, D.C. All ights are free of charge to theveterans being honored

By JIM LANGHAMFeature Writer PAULDING – Jillene Mc-Michael, one of the leadersinvolved with the PauldingCounty Relay For Life ef-fort, said Sunday evening thatthis year’s event total stood at$56,000 and money was stillcoming in. “We had a beautiful eve-ning,” said McMichael. “Ev-eryone seemed to be appre-ciating the great weather andcrowd of caring people. I can’tsay enough to thank the peopleof Paulding County for theirgenerous giving toward cancerresearch.”

McMichael said that com-mittee members decided to addsome touches this year to cre-ate more interest for childrenand make the event more of afamily affair. She noted thatyounger supporters seemed toenjoy bounce houses, slip andslide houses and other kid ori-ented activities. “The Paulding FFA did a plant sale; that went over reallywell,” said McMichael. “Wehad bag pipes for the luminaryservice again. People really ap- preciate that.

“One area I can’t sayenough about is all of the vol-unteers who get involved. Ourcommittee is a small crew; we

would be setting up and takingdown forever. A large numberof volunteers makes things somuch easier for all of us,” add-

ed McMichael. Sue Young said that she has been involved with the RelayFor Life for 15 years. Much of

her inspiration has come fromthe way her husband (Ken) hasfought to combat the diseaseover a long period of time. “My husband has had a lotto do with my involvement. Heis a four-time cancer survivor.He is an inspiration to a lot of people,” noted Young. Brittany Daeger was busymaking walking tacos in herteam’s food stand. She notedthat she is always touched bythe survivor lap and the pres-ence of those who continue toght the cancer battle. “We do this in honor of ourfamily and friends that havegone before us,” said Daeger.

“Some day we hope that therewill be a cure for cancer.” Cancer survivor Dean Millerwas especially thankful to be present for this year’s event.Miller found out early this yearthat his cancer is consideredto be in an incurable state. Hestated that realization of thatespecially makes it meaningfulto be alive and part of anotherRelay For Life. “This has changed my wholelife,” said Miller. “I’ve had

continue to show improvementinto next season.” Goings, who became the rstRaider to place in three events atthe state meet last season, turnedthe trick for the second time thisyear.

“She has come a long waysince her freshman year,” com-mented Branch. “Her freshmanyear, she came in and I thinkstruggled a little bit condencewise after having success at the junior high level. She learnedthat running against juniors andseniors wasn’t the same and shehad to make that adjustment. “Last year, she still had someconsistency issues where her

times uctuated quite a bit butshe got better as the year wentand really nished strong and placed at state in three events,”Branch continued. In the middle of the twosprints, the Lady Raider 400 re-lay quartet of Gracie Gudakunst,Stacy Flint, Shayna Temple andGoings took third in the nals onSaturday.

“We are very proud of thatgroup as well,” Branch said.“They have really had to over-come some adversity due toinjuries and they ran their bestrace of the season on Saturday,setting a new school record inthe process. Everything really

came together for them in thatlast race.” That same quartet improvedon a fth place nish at lastyear’s state meet where they broke the school’s record witha time of 51.03 seconds. How-ever, this year the foursome didone better by posting a time of50.66 seconds in taking third. “Shayna was a questionmark due to the injury there be-fore basketball season,” addedBranch. “Then Stacy had inju-ry issues where we had to shuther down for a couple of weeks.But Gracie really improved her -self this year and Monique rana great race for us as well. The

girls that stepped in during theseason really helped to pushthis group too. It was just a greateffort by all of the girls and wewere very pleased with the waythey ran Saturday.” Division III boys action sawAntwerp senior Sam William-son nd himself on the podiumon the nal day of his Archercareer, taking sixth in the 1600meter run with a time of 4:21.96. Williamson entered the 1600run with the fourth best time of4:24.84 and while entering the3200 with the 16th best time of9:51.66. Prior to leaving for Columbuson Thursday, Williamson said

before boarding the Archer bus,“I am going to give it all I’vegot in the 1600 and then run the3200 and see how it goes.”

Williamson nished his Ar -cher career as one of the school’snest athletes and according tohis coach left a mark that will behard to duplicate. “Sam has had a fantastic ca-reer,” Ehrhart continued. “Hequalied to run in seven statemeets between cross country(three) and track (four). “He rana textbook race in the 1600 andran a personal best as well. It is just so difcult to compete atthis level in both the 1600 and3200 runs due to how much it

takes out of you. He has a lotto be proud of and has accom- plished so much these last fouryears.” In his nal race in an Antwerpuniform, Williamson’s nished13th in the 3200 run with a timeof 9:51.76. The Archer seniorwill continue his running careerat Indiana-Purdue Fort Wayne,where he will run cross countrynext season. “He has gone well beyondanything I could ask for as acoach,” Ehrhart continued. “Heis an incredibly competitive in-dividual and has set some schoolrecords that it will be very dif-cult for anyone to break.”

DAY ONEAT COLUMBUS

On day one of the state trackand eld meet, the Wayne Tracegirls squad advanced to the -nals on Saturday in all threeevents they took part in on Fri-day. Wayne Trace’s Monique Go-ings moved on to the nals as anindividual in both the 100 and200 meter dash after qualifyingout of the preliminaries. Goings nished third in herheat in the 100 dash with a timeof 12.54 to move on to Satur -day’s championship race.

son, Anne Miesle and AudrieLongardner completed their sea-son on Friday with a 16th placenish and a time of 10:16.71. “They really worked hard go-ing into the district meet to makethemselves the best they could be,” Antwerp head coach CordEhrhart said. “They worked onthings they needed to do to get better and just believed in them-selves and their abilities. In thedistricts, they improved on their best time by 22 seconds and n-ished second before running an-other season best at the regionalto advance to state. I am very proud of that group of girls andwhat they were able to do.”

Cancer has such a strongeffect on others around you.You never know what kind ofan effect it’s going to have onthose close to you. “There’s no way to describewhat you feel once you getcancer,” continued Miller. “It’shard to put into words. Youlook at a new world throughdifferent eyes.”

“Every day when you see thescar from your surgery you arereminded of where your faithhas brought you,” commentedLori Ankney, a nine-year survi-

vor of colon cancer. “I’m thank -ful for each day, each year, eachcancer relay.” Stacey Thomas, who has been involved with the RelayFor Life for many years saidthat this past year has especial-ly been difcult because members of her personal familyhave had their battles with thedreaded disease. “I’ve always felt deeply

about this, but when it comesdown to your own family, it re-ally has an effect on you,” saidThomas. “It means more to methis year than it ever has.”

June days bring garden goodies

and boatload of bluegills

The Eichers’ garden is still yielding green onions and radishesfrom the rst spring planting.

We have entered the monthof June already. It looks like wehad just a little bit of rain duringthe night, which we really need.Last night we watered the gar-den, as it was getting really dry.But everything is coming upreally well. We are still enjoy-

ing radishes, green onions andlettuce from our rst plantingearlier this spring. We had a nice three-day week-end with a lot of shing. On Fri-day evening some went shingon the lake, and then went againSaturday and Monday. On Sunday evening, weate outside around the re.The men deep-fried sh andFrench fries. How nice to justsit and watch. Timothy and Elizabeth wentto church at his sister’s housein another church district.We kept their dogs, Izzy andCrystal, while they were gone.

Crystal doesn’t like to be sepa-rated from Elizabeth, but Izzyloves staying here. She will gohide when she knows they areleaving for home. Saturday, we had a short vis-it from my sister Liz, Levi andfamily. Their daughter Elizabethand her husband Samuel, andtheir baby LaRose were alsoalong, as was their daughter Ro-sa’s special friend, Menno. LaRose is around six monthsold and looks like she doesn’tlack attention. She is Liz andLevi’s rst grandchild, andshe’s a sweetie. Daughter Eliz-abeth was here and got to seeLaRose for the rst time. SisterLiz is doing a great job at beinga grandma and spoiling her. Joe’s sister Salome and husband Morris are also rst-timegrandparents now. Their daugh-ter Katie Edna, and husbandBen had a son named Benjamin.Joe went to visit them while wewere at niece Lovina’s wedding.I was a cook so I didn’t go withJoe. Hopefully I’ll get to meetlittle Benjamin soon – maybeat the family gathering in July.Joe’s sister Christine and Jakeare planning to have all of Joe’sfamily there on July 2. Theylive about three hours north ofhere. We are looking forward to

seeing everyone again. It’s beenawhile since we’ve seen someof the family. Hope everyonewill make it. On Monday, everyone wentshing except daughters Eliza- beth, Lovina and I. Timothy hadhis boat out, and both of ourswere out as well. When theystarted lleting sh, they hadmore than 200 bluegills. Timo-thy’s nephew was also shingand helped clean the sh. Every-one was here for a pizza supper before leaving Monday evening. I usually have a bunch of ba-nanas hanging on a banana hold-er on my countertop. Elizabeth

took a banana and started eating

it. Son Kevin, 10, told her thateveryone needs to ask him for a banana, since that’s why Mom buys them. He said that sinceshe’s married now, she doesn’thave to ask him. Elizabeth andI had a good laugh about thatafter he went outside. I don’tknow where he got the idea thatthe bananas are his. I think helikes eating bananas more thananyone else does. When he wasa little boy, he always asked for bananas when he saw them atthe store. He wasn’t very old,and he would call them “mon-key.” I think it was because wewould call him a monkey whenhe was eating them. I want to make rhubarb juicethis week. Daughter Eliza-

beth made several batches and

brought us a taste – delicious! Susan is still working ongetting her wedding invitationsout. She said she didn’t realizethere was that much work to getready for a wedding. She said itlooked easier when Elizabethdid it. I must get back to work.God’s blessings!

New Bargain Bin facility ata standstill; funding needed PAULDING – Members ofthe Bargain Bin of PauldingCounty Inc. held their annualmeeting including the electionof new ofcers. Following a brief meeting at the PauldingPresbyterian church membersenjoyed lunch served by theladies of the church. Ofcers for 2016-17 wereinstalled by Jan Commers.They are Rhonda Smalley

president, Rose Munger vice president, Elaine Gress sec-ond vice president, Eileen Ko-chensparger secretary, SharonJohanns assistant secretary,Donna Pieper treasurer andEleanor Brune assistant trea-surer. The mission of the BargainBin is to provide equipmentand or educational materialsto the Paulding County therapy department for the wellnessof the community. The members are still work-ing diligently on reachingtheir goal of $250,000 for thenew building that is underconstruction at the corner of

Harrison and Cherry streets inPaulding. One question that contin-ues to be brought up is whythe committee did not electto purchase one of the empty buildings that is around thesquare. That was the originalgoal but after investigating itwas discovered the consider-able amount it would cost in purchasing one of the existing buildings and the amount offunding for such a project wasnot available. With the cost of buildingrenovation, there would also be the expense to get it readyfor move in. The discussion

of renting a building had been suggested, but again, theamount was overwhelmingso it was decided to stay inthe present building for now.Eventually, as a surprise tomany, the Bargain Bin wouldsoon be given the opportunity

to build a new building. Since the Bargain Bin is alocal business, members votedto join the Paulding Cham- ber of Commerce and will behaving a walking taco standduring the John Paulding Daysat the Presbyterian church parking lot. The Bargain Bin is also ac-tive in other community af-fairs and will be supporting

the Paulding County Fair bysponsoring trophies. Whilethey are making their presenceknown in the community theystill keep as their main focusthe continued support of thehospital therapy department.

Attention focused

on cemetery Dear Editor, I would like to bring it tothe attention of people whohave loved ones buried in theLive Oak Cemetery that it islooking cleaned up and stoneshave been erected. We can give credit to JonSnodgrass, history teacher,Paulding Ex. School, and hisvolunteer students along withKim Sutton. Due to their ef-forts, a large stone overturnedfor a couple-plus years was

erected by the stone company. If you pass the mausoleum, please note the two urns lledwith ferns at the front. Jondiscovered these inside the

mausoleum and the condition isdeplorable inside cement fall-ing and Kim will try to see ifgrant money could be obtainedto x it up. If there were fundsavailable for upkeep it no doubtwas used where no one waskeeping track of it. I can say if you have nothad grass planted on yourloved ones, might as well plan to do yourself (I did). Thanks to these young people who are now focusingtheir attention on the upkeepof our cemetery.

Tractor gone AWOL

subject of lawsuit PAULDING – Leaders of the John Paulding Historical Society aretaking measures to secure a piece of antique equipment that was on permanent loan to the group. On Wednesday, May 25, the society’s attorney, Harvey D. Hyman,led a complaint, alleging conversion and a request for replevin witha demand for a jury trial against two individuals. Those individuals are Mary Jo Broecker of Fort Jennings andJames Bechtel of Goshen, Ind. According to the complaint, the late Ralph J. Horstman of Delphosentered a loan agreement with the JPHS in September 1997. He of-fered a permanent loan of his 1924 Rumley oil pull type G tractor. The agreement indicated the tractor could be taken from the mu-seum by members of his family for display at festivals if they givetwo week’s notice. It also stated the only reason the agreement wouldcease is if the JPHS were to break up. According to the three-page complaint, Broecker was allowed to borrow the tractor on Sept. 21, 2014 for exhibition. It has not beenreturned. A letter was sent by the JPHS in December 2015 demanding thereturn of the tractor. The complaint alleges the defendants “...are ex-ercising unlawful dominion over the property” by not returning it. Bechtol allegedly claims to have a mechanic’s lien on the tractorand “...has refused to cooperate in the return of said tractor.” The tractor’s value at the time it was borrowed by the family, is$30,000. The suit against them is requesting the tractor’s return or$30,000 plus interest from the date it was borrowed.

Habitat for Humanity tocelebrate open house OAKWOOD – Members ofHabitat for Humanity of PauldingCounty are inviting the public tocome to Oakwood on Thursday,June 16, at 5 p.m. to the openhouse of their brand new habitathouse. The new home is on ThirdStreet on the east side of Oak-wood Elementary School. Thenew owners will be there towelcome community residentsas well as members of Habitat.This is the eighth home to be builtsince the beginning of Habitat inPaulding County in early 2000.Habitat homes also are located inAntwerp, Paulding, Haviland andMelrose. Habitat for Humanity was theinspiration of Mr. and Mrs. Mil-lard Fillmore and over the yearshabitat homes have been built allover the world. Habitat homes are not givento the homeowners. They areexpected to put in numeroussweat equity hours, not only fortheir new home but also for fu-ture families who will be gettinga new home from Habitat. Theyattend classes on how to managemoney and how to be responsible for a new home. They have amortgage to pay which is held bythe Habitat committee. The family chooses everythingabout the house from the oor plan to the color on the walls.Knowing the home belongs to thenew owner, hopefully for a longtime, it’s important for them to behappy in their new home. However, as soon as they of-cially become the home ownerthey are responsible for every-thing that comes with house. The local Habitat is funded bythe home owners, who pay theirmonthly mortgages and by dona-tions and fund raisers. For the last

several years the local group hashad the Hog Run/Walk at the fair-

ground in October. The event is being planned again for this fall. At the monthly meetingmembers are asked to tithewith funds being sent to Habi-tat International. This way, ev-eryone has a part in buildinghomes for other families. Building nice homes for familiesis the goal for Habitat for Humani-ty and plans are already underwayfor the construction of PauldingCounty house number nine. The committee always takesinto consideration if there is aseptic system already in placeand running water. Buildingin town is much more feasible

since these two important re-quirements are already in placeand can be easily tapped into. But they have built homes on property that the family alreadyowns. Another benet to the fam-ily is to have the property donatedto Habitat. This helps to keep themortgage payment at a reason-able amount. Habitat board meets the lastMonday of the month at the of-ce of the Paulding United Meth-odist church at 4:45 p.m. Visitorsare always welcome. Plan now to attend the openhouse in Oakwood, June 16 at5 p.m.

Council to seek legal actionBy CARRIE ONDER

Correspondent PAULDING – Paulding Vil-lage Council is seeking potentiallitigation procedures in regard tothe lagoon mixers that have not been operational since September2015.

Councilwoman Barb Rifereported at the council meetingMonday, June 6, that Jones &Henry Engineering has been un-responsive to phone calls and hasnot been helpful in resolving the problems with the lagoon mixers.Council has notied village so-licitor Mike Jones regarding thewish to seek legal action on thelagoon pumps.

Schweller Electric is currentlyworking to retrot the PLT thatwill allow the mixers to work.The lagoon mixers must be oper-ational by July 1 as mandated inthe agreement with the OPEA. Mayor Greg Reinhart rec-ommended to the council that

Rylee S. Carlisle be employedas a full-time police ofcer withthe Paulding Police Departmentstarting June 11. Carlisle had been employed with the PauldingPolice Department as a part-timeofcer since June of 2015. The council unanimously approved the motion to employeeCarlisle as a full-time ofcer.

Councilman Tim Boss report-ed that the recreation committeemet with Peggy Emerson fromthe Paulding Chamber of Com-merce and the Leadership In Ac-tion (LIA) group regarding theskateboard park project. The LIAhad been raising funds to makerepairs to the skateboard park and

had approached council on May16 requesting that the villagematch funds to help pay for therepairs. Boss reported that the LIA hassince changed the scope of its project, received quotes for lowercost and is continuing to fund-raise. Boss stated that at this timeno action is needed until fundrais-ing is complete, at which time thecommittee will meet with LIA todecide what action, if any, needsto be taken. Boss also reported that the vil-lage swimming pool did open lastTuesday. The recreation commit-tee has set group rates for normal

pool hours at $2 per person for30-50 people, and $1 per personfor 60-99 people. If the group is over 99 people,the pool must be rented for $105.Boss was unclear at this time howmany hours that rental included. These prices do not include the

use of the slide; an additional feewill be charged for the use of theslide. The council voted unanimous-ly to approve these group rates. Alan Kohart was present on behalf of Paulding Putnam Elec-tric Cooperative seeking approvalon the application for a buildingcerticate to build a 195-footcommunications tower on Mc-Donald Pike. The 195-foot toweris a free-standing tower and willnot require any guide wires. Thetower will provide communica-tions to substations and vehicles.

The planning commission re-viewed the application on May19 and sent its recommendation

to the council for approval. Coun-cilman Dan Workman moved toapprove the building certicateapplication and was followed bya unanimous approval from thecouncil. Work will begin on this towernext month and is projected to becompleted in August. When the council was askedabout a sinkhole reported in the300 block of West Perry Streetlast week, Reinhart stated thatwas the area where sewer workhas been completed. He went onto say that the the area has beenlled with gravel and is in the process of being xed. Rife said,“It’s not a sinkhole. Sinkholes are

a natural occurrence and this isnot.” The cemetery board updatedthe council on the rules of whatwas allowed and what isn’t al-lowed in the cemetery. For moreinformation on these rules, referto the ad on Page 8A, or contactthe village ofce. Rife updated the council members on the following from theutilities committee: • Harmful Algae Bloom test-ing will begin 6-7-16. • A six-inch water distributionline has been repaired. The leakcaused 40-50,000 gallons a dayof clean water to be lost. This will

have a saving of approximatelyone hour pump time each day.

• Helen Street repairs have been completed to the stormsewer drain. The committee iswaiting for rain to ensure that therepairs to Emerald Acres are suc-cessful.

• Maintenance service agree-ment with GE regarding the mac-ro-ltration system contract willend July 31. This contract is forthe amount of $10,000 a year witha yearly price increase of 1-2%.The council has asked the com-mittee to research if this service isneeded and what alternatives areavailable. The service agreement provides 24 hour troubleshootingwith a quick response time. Thecommittee is researching servicecontract lengths to avoid the year-ly increase. Rife reported that thisis a work in progress; however,she did want to make the councilaware of this agreement. • Water, sewer and refuse

assessment for a residenceowned by Arthur B. Zellner inthe amount of $162.63 was approved. Council approved noxiousweed removal assessments forthe following residences: AnnaB. Super in the amount of $150and Thomas G. Bussell and Eliz-abeth G. Bussell in the amount of$225. Mayor Reinhart reported thatthe monthly statement for park-ing nes totaled $250 for themonth of May with zero handi-cap tickets written.

Reinhart provided the councilwith his monthly Mayor’s Courtstatement for the month of May:

monies paid to State of OhioTreasury $78.50; monies paid toCounty Court (alcohol) $3.50;court cost $30; nes $98; computer $30; other $55; total collect-ed $295. Paulding Police Departmentmonthly report for the month ofMay: 330 service requests, fourtrafc accidents, ve trafc cita-tions written, 13 parking ticketswritten, 852 security checks completed, two referrals to utilitiesand two junk ordinance citationsissued. Council adjourned into an ex-ecutive session, stating legal mat-ters and personnel matters.

Why messy can be good One of the things you al-ways want kids to do, andeven reward them to do, isto clean their rooms. Lots oftimes, my kids would hurried-ly throw everything in a closetand shut the door. I had threegirls and one son and the son, believe it or not, was the onewho always had a clean room. A clean uncluttered home is

great, but have you ever no-ticed how much “stuff” youcan collect through the years?I think that sometimes a messcan be good especially if weare looking for something.You just know the item youwant is probably in that messyarea of the house. So, say you need the greenshirt that you wore three daysago, a history book and your power drill. In most households,you’d be going in three differ-ent directions to look for theseitems. In a messy household,there’s a good likelihood all ofthose things will be piled on topof a futon or chair that serves as
