Wind power suits county wellBy DENISE GEBERSProgress Staff Writer

PAULDING – Representatives fromedp Renewables, operators of TimberRoad II wind farm in Paulding County,visited the area Thursday. They took theopportunity to talk with local and stateofcials about energy opportunities inthe county. According to Erin Bowser, directorof project management with edp, a new phase is being considered for Pauldingand Harrison townships, Timber RoadIII. Chris Brooks, project manager, saidthe expansion would be roughly 7,000acres and include about 100 landowners.Another 50-some turbines would be con-structed for an output of 99 megawatts of power. This is comparable to Timber Road II,which encompasses 8,000 acres and 55turbines. Electrical outputs are similar. “We hope to start in a year or two,”said Bowser. She indicated that edp Renewables isreaching out to landowners and potential power customers in anticipation of the project. “We need to secure long-term con-tracts,” she said. “We are really excitedto expand.” A “big effort” to speak with landown-ers is under way, those who are currentlyin or have been in leases with edp, ac-cording to Bowser. Timber Road II has created eight full-time positions in the county’s operationsand maintenance ofce near Payne.Bowser said an expansion would add tothat work force when complete, notingthat hundreds of jobs would be createdduring the construction phase.

“The reception in Paulding County isgreat,” enthused Bowser. “It has accept-ed wind power, which works very well

Burkley co-sponsors bill to allow

wind turbine setback changesBy ED GEBERT

DHI Media COLUMBUS — A new bill intro-duced in the Ohio House of Represen-tatives seeks to change wind turbinesetback regulations, which would enablewind energy companies to work within

Ohio counties to license new wind farms. The legislation, House Bill 190, isco-sponsored by local representative Rep.Tony Burkley along with RepresentativeTim W. Brown (R - Bowling Green).

In early 2014, Ohio Gov. John Kasichsigned HB 483 which included revisedsetback standards that essentially madeit unfeasible to build new wind farmsin Ohio. That signing came as Iberdro-la Renewables was lobbying to build acompanion wind farm to its Blue Creek

Wind Farm, which opened in 2012. TheBlue Creek project has 152 2.0 megawattturbines operating on 100-meter towers. The new bill would revise the law to permit counties to adopt resolutions

establishing an alternative setback forwind farms and extend by ve years thedeadlines to get the qualied energy proj-ect tax exemption. In the case of a windfarm, that would move the date to qualifyfor an exemption from the end of 2015 tothe end of 2020. For projects using clean

coal technology, advanced nuclear orcogeneration technology it would be ex-tended to the end of 2022. House Bill 190 was introduced in theStatehouse on May 6.

Corn, soybean

fields take shapeBy JIM LANGHAM

Feature Writer PAULDING – PauldingCounty farmers took ad-

vantage of a big opening inspring weather the last twoweeks to take to the elds to plant this summer’s crops. Ohio State University ex-tension advisor Sarah Nog-gle estimated (conservative-ly) that at least 60 percentof the corn and 15 percentof the county bean crop had been planted by the rst ofthis week. “I know there are beansout there but people have been working mainly ontheir corn crop,” said Nog-gle this past Monday. Noggle lauded area farm-ers for keeping mare’s tail

under control and said thatmost agriculture expertsin the county had done agood job of getting after theweeds. “People come in and gotrecommendations from us.We’re glad to do all that wecan to help,” observed Nog-gle. Noggle said that sheagrees with recent observa-tions that this summer could

be warmer and drier thanwhat we’ve seen the pastcouple of years. She noted arather cool spell is projected

for the end of this week, butnot enough to do any cropdamage. “The alfalfa in the countyis looking very good,” said Noggle. “Any alfalfa weevilseems to be under control.I’m sure it’s there but it’snot close to any threshold. “As far as wheat goes,where it’s good, it’s good,and where it’s not, it’s not,”added Noggle. Noggle noted that mostfarmers in the county aretrying to stay in a crop lo-cation currently in spite ofthe lowered corn prices. Butshe believes that with the

bottom line tightened, over-all there will be more beans planted than usual. “I’m sure farmers aretrying to keep rotation go-ing the best they can, butit costs a lot to put out cornright now with less return,” Noggle said. One of the things thatfarmers are concerned about

This representsthe company’s full year of pay-ments. All of edp’s Timber RoadII wind farm lies in PauldingCounty. In its family of 34 windfarms, the local wind farm issmall with some producingover 400 megawatts of power. A third farm, Timber RoadI, is stalled in its development process. AEP Electric headquarteredin Columbus is the off-taker

from Timber Road II. AEP isone of the largest suppliers ofelectricity in the country, ac-

cording to Bowser. After meeting with the coun-ty ofcials at the courthouse forthe ceremonial check presenta-tion, the group took three guestsfrom JOBS Ohio on a tour ofthe wind farm. Bowser said a growing number of companies are interestedin moving to Ohio. They arecurious about the ability to takeadvantage of renewable energyhere. Last week, Rep. Tony Burk-ley co-sponsored a bill in theOhio House of Representativesthat would improve the climatefor wind farm development inOhio. (See related article Page!A.)

Oops a Daisy Most dogs like to chase things, and Daisyis no exception. The black lab, owned by Fredand Susan Pieper, was after a raccoon onSunday when the raccoon went into a drain-age pipe. Daisy followed, but neither animalcame out the other end. Four re trucks, dogwarden and sheriff’s ofce responded; morethan a dozen people worked several hours torescue Daisy, who could be heard whimper-ing. Jeremy and Jessica Goyings brought abackhoe to expose the pipe, which was cut,and Daisy was coaxed backwards to escape.“She was so happy ... caked mud everywhere,but so happy,” said Susan. “She would have

surely died if not for their efforts. We will for-ever be grateful.” The raccoon escaped infront of the crowd and took off. (Photos cour -tesy Con Shuherk, Paulding Fire Department)

Black Beauty was born May 1 on the Eicher farm to a caringmother, Itty Bit.

May is here already. Itseems as though 2015 just be-gan and now we are already inthe month of May. The rst of May broughtsome excitement here. Ourhorse Itty Bit gave birth to alittle lly. She is all black, sowe named her Black Beauty.Such a lively young foal! IttyBit is a very protective moth-

er to the foal and it took sometime for her to let us get tooclose to the foal. The construction crew start-ed building our pole barn thismorning. The poles are all set.Daughter Verena didn’t haveto work today so she madechocolate chip bars and lem-onade to serve to the men fortheir break.

My rhubarb is ready to useand I need to make rhubarbcustard pie. My husband Joealways likes that. Joe found out yesterday thatthey will soon be workingnine hour days on Saturdaysfor a while. This makes him

glad he hired help to put up the pole barn and didn’t attempt to put it up himself. Last week I bought the roy-al blue material that I needto make a dress for nephewLevi’s wedding next week. Iwant to cut it out today andstart sewing on it. I was soglad Verena could have theday off to help with the otherwork. Our sympathy goes to Eliz-abeth’s special friend Timothyand his extended family. Hisgrandpa died yesterday. Thefuneral is planned for Fridayin northern Indiana. We have radishes, peas, andcorn up in the garden. We alsohave sweet onions planted. Wehad a few rainy days so oncethe garden dries off again wewould like to plant some moreof the garden. Our horseradish plant is looking nice. We wantto make horseradish sauce. Wegrind up the root real ne andseason it. Son Kevin, 9, and Lovinaare enjoying their ducks andamazed at how fast they aregrowing. I haven’t been outto the barn lately to see how big they are. Kevin is gettingannoyed with our new rooster.He said this rooster is startingto get mean like the old one. Thursday evening we willgo to the middle school orien-tation with daughter Lovina,10. Lovina and her classmateswill present their career prep portfolio exit interviews tothe parents. It doesn’t seem possible that number seven ofour eight children has reachedmiddle school level. Saturday we attended theannual consignment auction.We sold our pony Tiger at theauction. Susan really hated tosee him be sold but we havetoo many ponies around. Wegave our miniature pony Min-nie to Jacob and Emma’s sonSteven. Lovina and Kevin are

almost too big for her. Su-san is training Minnie’s coltPrancer. She says he is easyto train.

It looks like we need to getthe yard mowed. With therain, the grass is growing fast.

We are enjoying asparagusxed in different ways. Try itin this recipe. God bless!

Sweets, limburger

cheese and peanuts With spring weather comesthe pests. They march or yinto our homes, attack oursweets and tell their friendsabout the goodies. Yes, I havenoticed a couple of pests in myhouse already. They consistso far of two ants, a y and a bee. It is too early for the mos-quitos. Pesky ants, ies, mos-quitos and bees can all playhavoc with a picnic and ruina barbecue or any event wherefood is served. Of course wedon’t like them in our homesor even around our dwellings. First of all, ants. I don’t carefor them and most people lookat them as “pests.” But also, ants are totallyamazing and deserve a lit-tle respect! Ants are tough asnails. They can lift 50 timestheir own weight, the equiva-lent of an adult human bench pressing a full-sized sedan.How is that for a tough ant?Also, when ants ght, theyght to the death! So if I werean ant, I would be careful whoI picked a ght with. Ants are feminists. Colo-nies are matriarchal, totallycontrolled by a single queen.And that lucky lady does allthe breeding. But that’s notwhere the girl power ends. Allthe worker ants are female aswell. All those ants you seegoing about their business inyour house, lifting and carry-ing heavy weights are all fe-male. You go, girls! Mosquitoes are another pestthat comes around to plague

us in the summer. For somereason, mosquitoes don’t biteme, but they always bit myhusband. I guess they liked his

taste better than mine. But didyou know that only girl mos-quitoes bite? Mosquitoes mean nothing personal when they take your blood. Female mosquitoesneed protein for their eggs,and must take a blood mealin order to reproduce. Sincemales don’t bear the burdenof producing young, they’llavoid you completely andhead for the owers instead.And when not trying to pro-duce eggs, females are happyto stick to nectar, too. Mosquitoes can y at speeds between 1 and 1.5 miles perhour. This may sound fast, but in the world of insects, itis rather slow. If a race wereheld between all the ying in-sects, nearly every other con-testant would beat the pokeymosquito. Butteries, locustsand bees would all nish wellahead of the skeeter. All mosquitoes require wa-ter to breed. Some species can breed in puddles left after arainstorm. Just a few inches

of water is all it takes for a fe-male to deposit her eggs. Tinymosquito larva develop quick -ly in bird baths, roof gutters,and old tires dumped in vacantlots. An adult mosquito may live5-6 months, but few probablymake it that long, given ourtendency to slap them sillywhen they land on us. But inthe right circumstances, anadult mosquito has quite along life expectancy, as bugsgo. Some interesting facts orsayings about “skeeters” arethat they are more apt to bitewhen there is a full moon; notonly that, they are attracted tosmelly feet or the scent of limburger cheese. Lots of people are very al-lergic to bees and a bee stingcan prove deadly to those withthe allergy. One time when Iwas little, I recall that we weredriving home from church. Itwas dark and Grandma was upfront with Grandpa eating pea-nuts. She reached in the pea-nut bag and got a hand full, begin to chew and then start-ed to yell. Grandma had bitdown on a bee that was hidingin the peanuts. I do rememberthe bee died and Grandma’stongue swelled up and shecould not talk for a week. I feltso bad for her. This spring and summerwatch out for the creepy,crawly, ying pests. Don’t letanything sweet sit out in yourkitchen, have feet that smell

like limburger or eat peanutsin the dark. If you do, let meknow and I’ll give you a Pen-ny for Your Thoughts.

Dandelions: A beneficial herb

Smile because dandelions are a sure sign of spring time andsunshine!

By Staci MillerEducation specialist

Paulding SWCD The dandelions are in full bloom this spring. Thoughthey may be considered aweed to many people, theydo have a variety of benecial purposes. Dandelion (Taraxacum of-cinale) is a common meadowherb of the Asteraceae or sun-ower family. There are about

100 species of dandelion, andall are benecial. The peren-nial dandelion grows freelywherever it can nd soil andsunlight. Dandelion’s com-mon name is derived fromthe French dent de lion, areference to the irregular and jagged margins of the lance-shaped leaves. Dandelion may be distinguished from othersimilar-looking herbs by thehollow, leaess ower stemsthat contain a bitter milky-white liquid also found in theroot and leaves. Early colonists broughtthis herb to North America.The native people soon rec-

ognized the value of the herband sought it out for its med-ical and nutritious benefits.Fresh leaves may be added tosalads or cooked. The juice ex-tracted from the stem and leafis the most potent part of the plant for medicinal purposes.It has been used to eradicatewarts and soothe calluses, beestings, or sores. Infusions ofdandelion blossoms have beenused as a beautifying facial,refreshing the skin. Dandelion is a nutritive herbrich in potassium, calicum,and lecithin, with iron, magne-sium, niacin, phosphorus, pro-teins, silicon, boron, and zinc.

Dandelion provides several Bvitamins along with vitaminsC and E as well as vitaminP. All parts of the dandelionhave culinary and medicinalvalue. It is best to harvest freshyoung dandelion leaves inthe spring. The small, youngleaves are less bitter, and may

be eaten uncooked in salads.Larger leaves can be lightlysteamed to reduce bitterness. Ifyou are interested in trying dan-delions for yourself, please feelfree to refer to this website for

dandelion recipes: www.wild-manstevebrill.com/Web%20Recipes/Recipes%20Page.htm-l#Anchor-Dandelions-11481. Dandelions can also be benecial to your lawn. Theirwide-spreading roots loosenhard-packed soil, aerate theearth and help reduce erosion.

The deep taproot pulls nu-trients such as calcium fromdeep in the soil and makesthem available to other plants.Dandelions actually fertilizethe grass, plus kids can be

entertained for hours pickingdandelions. Information about dandeli-ons were from the Universityof Maine Cooperative Exten-sion factsheet. Dandelionsare truly a versatile plant withmany different benecial pur - poses.

Photo fundraiser coming to Payne PAYNE – A release from the Payne Fire De- partment indicates for the next several weeks,department representatives will be going door-to-door asking for a $20 donation as part of afundraiser. “Like many reghters across the state, themembers of the Payne Fire Department haveto be both reghters and fund raisers, sotheir departments can have money to buy newequipment to meet always changing safety stan-dards,” said Payne Fire Chief Jamie Manseld. Money from the donations will be used to

purchase “equipment needed to update and improve the department’s service to the communi-

ty.” Each donor will receive a coupon for a freefamily portrait taken by a professional photog-rapher at the re station. Tentative date for the photo shoot is Saturday, June 20. According to the Volunteer Fireghters’ As-sociation, fund raisers are now more visiblethan ever before because they are one way to bring in additional revenue.

would like to thank all area residents for theircontinued support,” concluded Chief Manseld.

Sights and smells of

an old cherry tree This past weekend when Iwas walking in the area of myold home place, a certain sightcaptured my attention. While there is very littlethese days to remind me of the

way things were back in thosedays, in the midst of an un-familiar environment stood amost familiar sight – a cherrytree adorned with a oral blan-ket just like it was in the dayswhen I was a child. There it was, the rst tree Ihad ever climbed, a source ofincome for childhood projects,one of six such trees that stoodin a row between our propertyand that of the neighbors nextdoor. One of my rst memoriesdates back to the times whenour backyard was a “ball di-amond” for neighborhoodgames and especially those

between my dear friend, Mer -edith Sprunger, and me. Thetree served as the “home runfence.” When a ball lifted overthe tree in the air, it was ahome run. “I still remember the dayyou hit your rst home run,”my friend would always say. I don’t doubt it because hewas 12 and I was six at thetime. Ironically, the old treealso doubled as second basein our little neighborhood balleld. Perhaps one of the fond-est memories, even though itmeant work, was that of pick -ing cherries and sending them

to work with my dad to sell tothe ladies in the sewing roomfor 50 cents a gallon. Theywould can them or make jel-ly. The money would then bedeposited in a savings fund forvacation money. Quite often, the cherries

could be picked the week be-fore we visited family members in Nebraska on an annual basis. I spent days with a littlestep ladder picking cherriesand sending them off to “mar -ket.” I would often raise as

much as four or ve dollars to

spend on souvenirs on the trip.This weekend that all came

back to me, memories ofchildhood created by the sightof owering branches and asweet aroma that I always en- joyed. In my mind, seeing the onesimple tree remaining recre-ated the picture of a backyardfull of cherry, pear, crabapple,apple and peach trees. That inturn brought back memories of jelly sandwiches, some evenshared with “transients” whoused to pass by on the railroadtrack running past the west endof our little village. For just a brief moment,I stood at the base of the treeand allowed myself to be transported into a world of climbingthose same limbs, taking in thatsame aroma and jumping withexcitement because I had just

hit my rst run.
