    Paulding-Putnam ElectricCooperative held a ground- breaking for its new office

    and warehouse facility onThursday, Nov. 4.

    The facility will be relocat-ing to 401 McDonald Pike,Paulding, formerly Wausau

    Homes.This month also marks the

    75th anniversary of the coop-eratives organization in1935.

    The ceremony was attend-ed by many PPEC members,trustees and employees, plusformer general managersHerb Monroe and Floyd

    Furrow. Guests includedcounty Commissioner TonyBurkley and Paulding MayorGreg White.

    As a not-for-profit electriccooperative, Paulding-Putnam Electric Cooperativeexists to serve its members,something that the coopera-tive has done for over 70years. Thats why building forthe future and having a long-term focus is so important.

    Building for the future en-hances reliability and im- proves service for members.Community growth has creat-ed increased traffic conges-

    tion on the north side ofPaulding. Growth has alsocaused a need for more em-ployees, prompting the coop-erative to evaluate whether itscurrent location was meetingthe needs of the membership.

    After considering many al-ternatives over the past eightyears, Paulding-Putnam de-termined it would be best torelocate its general office,warehouse and pole yard from910 N. Williams St. on thenorth side of Paulding to thesouth side. This location will provide improved access,more parking spaces, addi-tional storage areas, officespace, as well as areas for fu-

    various times all four days.Be sure to make your selec-

    tion for the Peoples ChoiceAward, which is voted on withmoney. One-half of the pro-

    ceeds from the winning treewill go to the sponsor and theother half will go to the muse-um.

    Paulding-Putnam breaks ground at new site

    Commissioners dont anticipate manychanges in county finances until 2013

    with our budget. There may be a fewslight raises available to some depart-ments. We dont anticipate that therewill be a lot of changes.

    The commissioners said that con-servative handling of funds recentlymight have placed them in a positionwhere it could be possible to increasesome appropriations slightly, espe-cially with the wind energy factor inthe horizon.

    Burkley said that commissionersare encouraged because it appears thatthe worst of the economic problemshave bottomed out.

    We think that things have bottomedout, as far as decrease in revenue, saidBurkley. Our revenue is going toshow a slow upturn until we see exact-ly what the state is going to do.

    By JIM LANGHAMFeature Writer

    The Paulding County commission-ers could have certainly used the rev-enue for the proposed levy that votersdecided against in last weeks elec-tion. However, says CommissionerTony Burkley, things are better offthan they have been in sometime.That, coupled with the fact that thefirst revenue from the wind farms willstart to hit county coffers in 2013, hascommissioners somewhat optimisticabout the recovery of county finances.

    We still dont know what is goingto come from the state. They dont dotheir budget until July; but PauldingCounty is in pretty good position fi-nancially for the future, said Burkley.Were getting to that point, with the

    wind energy revenue coming in. Weanticipate that 2013 is the first yearthat we will benefit from wind energy.

    Its too early for us to anticipatewhat effect state cuts might have onus, noted Commissioner TonyZartman. If the state would have been proactive like we were, theywouldnt have the problems they arehaving now. Instead, they were reac-tive and now they are paying for it.

    Burkley said that county financesare looking slightly better becauseconservative handling of funds overthe past couple of years.

    By not spending every penny wehad, it put us in a position to weatherthe economic crisis that the state is inright now. Because we addressedthings early, it is allowing us to sur-

    vive things now.Now we are seeing the benefit

    from the way we handled things,continued Burkley. The next year orso will still be very critical, but we canweather that out now. If we wouldhave spent everything that we had,things would have been much morecritical.

    On Nov. 2, voters overwhelminglyrejected a 2-mill additional levy thatwould have raised $613,268 over afive-year period. The first $80,000 ofthat would have gone to the Soil andWater agency.

    Since the state doesnt release its budget until July, we dont reallyknow what to expect from them, saidZartman. We are just beginning dis-cussion on what we are going to do

    roofing project because it wasleaking. One thing led to an-other. The bell project was just there; it seemed Godwanted it to be done.

    Longtime members are ec-static that their bell is going toring once again.

    Rick King, whose ancestorHenry King was one of thefounders of the church, saidthat he remembers when fam-

    ilies used to take turns ringingthe bell. He also recalled chil-dren hanging on the rope andswinging on the rope.

    When asked whether or nothe was one of those children,King smiled and said, Oh, Ijust heard about it.

    Rick Helms, who alongwith his wife Dorothy, havebeen members of the churchfor nearly 25 years, said it is

    assumed that this is the origi-nal bell in the church. Henoted that the year 1889 ismarked on the bell.

    Church records indicatethat the building was con-structed during that time peri-od, under the ministry of J.W.Barber, who served thechurch from 1887 to 1893.

    The lot on which thechurch now stands at the cor-ner of Oak and Hymanstreets, was purchased fromGeneral Gibson, notes achurch history. The church

    was rectangular in form, with belfry and steeple, and washeated with two wood stoves,one on each side of theroom.

    In 1925, the history statesthat the church was remod-eled with the addition of aSunday School room, newstained glass windows, andrelocation of the vestibule andbelfry in the northeast cornerof the church. At that time,farmers came in with teams ofhorses and dug out a churchbasement. It was noted that aneighbor supplied the work-ers with peanut butter sand-wiches on a daily basis.

    Maxine Cluts, who hasbeen a member and associateof the church for nearly ninedecades, said that she and her

    husband, Roy, who is now de-ceased, used to come tochurch early when it was theirturn to ring the bell.

    Roy would be so happy ifhe knew about this. He wouldalso be thrilled about all of therecent growth in the churchmembership, Cluts said.Im just so happy. I cant be-lieve it; I cant believe thatbell is going to ring again.

    Consistory member RonBurk has been appointed toring the bell each Sunday, 10times just prior to worship at10 a.m.

    This church is alive andwell. We are thankful for lots

    of new members and bap-tisms, said Wilson. We feelthat this bell represents a new beginning for our church.With Gods help, were look-ing moving on from here.

    PAYNE Lots of thingshave changed in Payne in thepast 121 years, but an old cus-tom is about to be re-estab-lished. The church bell at St.Jacobs Church has been re-conditioned, the steeple hasbeen re-enforced and the bellwill be mounted to ring onceagain on Sunday morningprior to worship. Currently, itwill be the only live churchbell ringing on a weekly basisin the village.

    Consistory president JimWilson said that the bell wasrestored through a unique process by Jim Bourelle ofVan Wert. It was blasted withindustrial corn starch, pol-ished, and then polished again

    through a special formula de-signed so that it will never tar-nish again.

    He (Bourelle) told me thatit had some kind of finishcoated on it that may havecome from some industry thatwas in town many years ago,said Wilson. He restored itand put pads inside the bellthat cushioned the clapper forwhen it hits the bell.

    Wilson admitted that therewere many new things helearned during the process ofbell restoration. One was thatevery bell is tuned to a certainnote on the musical scale. TheSt. Jacobs bell, he said, is

    tuned to B# (or C). He saidthat Bourelle made sure thatthe bell was properly tuned;he also replaced the originalwheel.

    Many years ago, the bellwas deemed unsafe to ring;

    we decided to rebuild thetower, recondition the belland at the same time put newsiding on the entire church,said Wilson.

    Wilson said he cant ex- plain where the idea camefrom to bring the bell back.He noted that one day the ideajust popped in his mind.

    I suppose the Lord put theidea there, said Wilson.

    There was no plannedthought process; suddenly,there was a thought that toldme that this was somethingthat we ought to do. I said tomyself, Why cant we ringthat bell again? We started a

    ture growth and would avoidthe traffic congestion itpresently faces.

    PPEC purchased the siteabout a year ago.

    The cooperative was ableto take advantage of the de-pressed real estate market and purchased a vacant buildingat a very low price. The cur-rent facility was built in the1950s and has been renovatedtwice with no space left forexpansion. The property sitson a valuable corner inPaulding, which will be soldto offset some of the buildingexpense.

    The existing building has22,000 square feet. The newfacility will more than triplethe available area at 71,500square feet.

    The building should becompleted and ready for occu-pancy by late July or August.

    Facility committee chair-man Karl Koenig commented,The age of the building, heat-ing and cooling capabilities,technology requirements, andsafety concerns were key fac-tors in determining whether ornot to pursue this project.

    George Carter, CEO/gener-al manager of PPEC, realizesthat relocating the office im-pacts many people that is whythey did extensive studies andwere careful to find a suitablelocation.

    Carter emphasizes, Thisbuilding project, like any cap-ital improvement, will onlyhave a minor impact on futuremember rates. We are a finan-cially stable organization andwe have strategically plannedfor this growth.

    The cooperative exists toserve our members, said Dr.John Saxton, president of theboard of trustees, and unlikerecent trends of companies pulling out of communities,Paulding Putnam Electric be-lieves its important to main-tain a local presence inPaulding County. We lookforward to a long future to-gether.

    Paulding-Putnam ElectricCo-Op is a very important part of the county. Not onlyfor the service they provide tothe area, and the employmentof people, but for being such agood community supporter aswell, commented TonyLangham, Paulding CountyEconomic Development.Paulding-Putnam is a posi-tive force for this area inevery way.

    The Amish CookBy: Lovina Eicher

    I thought I would share adiary of a recent day with youreaders.

    6:30 a.m. It is Saturday,Oct. 30. Today is my oldest brother, Amoss, 49th birth-day. I can always rememberhis age because he is 10 years

    older than I am. Brother-in-law Jacob will be 38 on Nov.1. It is time to start anotherday. It feels good to have heatin the house on this chillymorning. My husband Joestarted our coal stove in thebasement on Thursday and itmakes the house more com-fortable.

    7:45 a.m. We have break-fast that consists of fried eggsand potatoes, bacon, cheese,toast, butter, strawberry jam,milk, and cider. Mornings likethis are always special whenwe can all eat a relaxing mealtogether and do not have to

    think of anyone needing toleave.

    8:45 a.m. Daughter Eliza-beth, 16, and I start gatheringlaundry to wash. The othergirls wash dishes and start theweekly cleaning. Joe and theboys are cleaning out the barnand the horse stalls. Joe needsto get our one-horse manurespreader fixed so he canspread the manure in the gar-dens and fields.

    12:30 p.m. We finally havethe laundry all done. Eliza-beth hung it all outside whileI washed it. It is windy andsome of the clothes dont

    want to stay on the line. It iscold on the hands to hang up.I am sure one of these days itwill be cold enough that we

    will have to start drying theclothes in the basement. In themeantime, we will appreciateall the nice days we have left.Uncle Joe and Aunt Bettydrove in just as we were fin-ishing with the laundry. Theyvisited us awhile and then left

    to go visit with sister Emmaand Jacob and sisters Verenaand Susan. I told them tocome back tonight for supper.

    1:30 p.m. I fix a late lunchof homemade vegetable soupand barbecued beef sand-wiches.

    2:15 p.m. Elizabeth and Istart getting in the laundry tofold and put away. The othergirls finish the weekly clean-ing. Joe and the boys are fin-ishing up in the barn. Earlier,while Joe and Betty werehere, we had some anxiousmoments when the horses gotout through an open gate in

    the barn. The three horses andour pony found their way outand started down the road toour hay field. They were busyeating in the hayfield and did-nt want to go into the fencedin pasture. I guess theythought the grass lookedgreener on the other side ofthe fence.

    4:30 p.m. Joe and Betty areback. They got to visit withJacob and Emma, but Verenaand Susan were not home. Imixed together a meatloaf andmade scalloped potatoes. Thegirls start helping the youngerones get cleaned up.

    From theOther Side

    Carry on with your lifeand dont worry about me ...I can see as I look into hereyes that she hears and un-derstands me and a big bur-den has been lifted from her.

    I watch as they lay flow-ers and other memories ofmy past. My lucky charmthat was taken from me andsent to her by my CO, a tat-tered and worn teddy bearthat I can barely rememberhaving as I grew up as a

    child and several medalsthat I had earned and werepresented to my wife. Oneof them is the Combat In-fantry Badge that I am veryproud of and I notice thatmy son is also wearing thismedal. I had earned mine inthe jungles of Vietnam andhe had probably earned hisin the deserts of Iraq.

    I can tell that they arepreparing to leave and I tryto take a mental picture ofthem together, because Idont know when I will seethem again. I wouldntblame them if they were not

    to return and can only thankthem that I was not forgot-ten. My wife and Mommanear the Wall for one final

    touch and so many years ofindecision, fear and sorroware let go. As they turn toleave I feel my tears thathad not flowed for so manyyears, form as if dew dropson the other side of theWall.

    They slowly move awaywith only a glance over theirshoulder. My son suddenlystops and slowly returns. Hestand straight and proud infront of me and snaps asalute. Something makeshim move to the Wall and heputs his hand upon the Walland touches my tears that

    had formed on the face ofthe Wall and I can tell thathe senses my presence thereand the pride and the lovethat I have for him. He fallsto his knees and the tearsflow from his eyes and I trymy best to reassure him thatits all right and the tears donot make him any less of aman. As he moves backwiping the tears from hiseyes, he silently mouths,God Bless you, Dad ... GodBless, YOU, Son ... WeWILL meet someday but inthe meanwhile, go on yourway ... There is no hurry ...

    There is no hurry at all.As I see them walk off in

    the distance, I yell out toTHEM and EVERYONEthere today, as loud as I can... THANKS FOR REMEM-BERING and as others onthis side of the Wall join in, Inotice that the U.S. Flag thatso proudly flies in front of useveryday, is flapping andstanding proudly straight outin the wind today.

    THANK YOU ALL FORREMEMBERING.

    In My Opinion

    Its fallIt comes around every year after we have experienced the

    hot days of summer and we call it fall or autumn. I can stillremember those sizzling hot summer days and nights be-cause they are still pretty fresh in my memory. Things havechanged in just a few weeks as the long summer days grewshorter and the nights of this fall season grew longer. Didyou have a good summer? My opinion is that my summer

    was just right!Yes, I know that there

    were things that could havebeen better but it was whatit was and nothing can bechanged now it is only amemory! Now here comesfall, complete with SquawWinter followed by Indian Summer. It was a controversyevery year during my childhood and youth, as the leavesbegin to change and we got some crisp fall mornings, fol-lowed by a warm sunny afternoon in the mid-fall, someonewould inevitably say, Isnt this beautiful Indian Summerweather? My ears perk up and my immediate reply was,We havent had Squaw Winter yet, how can this be IndianSummer? At least that is the way it was at the home placejust south of Melrose.

    Each year in the fall I would make a mental note of ashort cold blast better known as Squaw Winter, sometimesearly, sometimes late and there was some snow, then we hada few nice days that I called Indian Summer, before the icywinds of winter came on with a fury.

    Yes, I realize that this may be folklore, but as I growolder, I begin to think that what happened on the Melrosehomestead was not far from reality, but then again that real-ity may really be the result of thinking that this is the way itshould be and sort of forgetting about what had really hap-pened. I often ask myself if this is the way I continue tofashion my walk through life. Do I really give the everydaytwists and turns of living a full, fair share of reality, or do Iforce events and even life patterns into my own privatemold?

    In my opinion, I think we all do some manipulation of ourthinking and see ourselves on the victorious side or even attimes higher on the shelf of social status that we really de-serve. As this fall turns toward the season of Thanksgiving,let us remember those in need by giving something that willhelp make someone less fortunate thankful for what theyhave! Lets examine our situation and throw open the floodgates of generosity as we give of our time, money and tal-ents to help someone less fortunate. Let us remember thatour human condition is just an ill-fated event away from thedepravity of those we see as less fortunate.

    I hope to see you in church on Sunday! Come and visit us,we may have something in common. We will save a seat foryou.

    AnniversariesBirthdays

    The Spooky Holiday isover and gone but not forgot-ten. This strange storycropped up when companycame to visit during the pastweek. It concerns one of thelocal bars in Fort Waynewhere the neighborhood fel-lows gather to drink and chat.A fellow new to the areawalked in and sat down onthe first bar stool but quicklystood up and chose another.

    The bartender asked whyhe had changed to anotherstool and the fellow saidsomething is wrong with thatfirst seat but didnt knowwhat.

    That is what everyonesays! No one will sit there.An old man who never gavehis name to me or others vis-iting here always sat there.Then he died. No one willtake that first stool it feelsfunny.

    Myra tells about her daugh-

    ter, Shannon, who has gone tocollege this fall. She took heropen book bag to the porchbefore going to class and left

    it for a time and later grabbedit in a rush to leave for class.She jumped into her car, andstarted to drive away whenshe saw little beady eyespeering at her from inside thebag. Out leaped a littlemouse. Shannon quicklystopped the car, opened thedoor and tossed the contentsof the bag out, screaming allthe while.

    She presumed the mousewas hunting for a nice cozyplace to spend the winter. Shealso thought of the excite-ment in class if she had

    opened the bag in the roomfull of students.

    What do you like for break-

    fast? Here is a listing of itemsthat people in foreign coun-tries eat that time of day andit is nothing like the foodsfound on my breakfast table.

    In Spain, they like to havea hot cup of coffee and notmuch else, while in Norway,one of the coldest countries,they want a plate of salmon tostart the day It is hard to be-lieve what they eat in China,according to the list. Theydine on biscuits filled withspicy beef, duck, rice and alot of steaming tea along withdumplings. Dont you wonderwho cooks all that food?

    In Japan, the breakfasttable contains fish, calledsushi, which no one has tocook since they like it raw. InSouth China, they like to startthe day with an invigoratingcup of steaming soybean milkwith raw onions floating ontop.

    The Irish and also the Ger-man people still are fond ofpotatoes prepared in someway for starting the day. TheIrish want potato mush. Illtake some toast, orange juiceand coffee with something re-sembling cream to whiten it.

    In a neighboring county, a

    well-known doctor was pursu-ing his hobby, working on hisVolkswagen. A passerby saidto him,I didnt know you op-erated on just plain Volks!

    Without looking up, hereplied, Have you neverheard of Medicar?

    And speaking of mice,says Maude Mopp, harriedhousewife, you have to ad-mire their physical abilities. Ijust read that mice can jump12 inches straight up and canjump from a height of 12inches without injury.

    A mouse can squeezethrough a hole the size of anickel; a pair of them can re-produce 15,000 descendantsin a year. It is a wonder that acat ever catches a mouse ordoes a feline have greater orequal abilities?

    It has been my experiencethat mice do their best to getinto houses as winter comeson, and traps seem to have lit-tle effect on them, either. Al-though the average housewifeor husband goes to greatlengths to do murder andmayhem on mice, it seemsthat mice rush in where angelsfear to tread!

    Marty, who is no spring

    chicken anymore, reports thisremark made by a grandchildwho had been staying, obvi-ously, too long with his grand-

    parents. Grandma, I really dolove you, but I get sick ofyour face sometimes.

    And a classic remark by theboy whose mother was ex-plaining to him about thecoming arrival of a new babyin the family. He wanted toknow, Does Dad know aboutthis?

    Are you checking for mice

    in your house, do you have astrange barstool in yourneighborhood, are you listen-ing to the children? Tell us,well tell everybody.

    BABY ITS COLD OUTSIDE

    None of us enjoy being

    hungry, cold, or uncomfort-able.

    As we grow from child-hood to adults the things weneed to keep us comfortabledo not change a whole lot. Weall need love, food, shelter,clothing and all of our basicneeds met.

    As winter approaches andthe weather starts getting cold,we start looking at the thingswe need to stay comfortablefor a long winters night.

    First of all, one of thesedays the snow will begin tofall and and the wind willcome out of the east with a vi-

    cious howl. Thats the signalfor me to make a stop at thegrocery to get some food andhead home. I always laugh,because at the first mention ofsnow or a blizzard a lot ofpeople think like I do and goto the store. Just like me, theyare buying items like bread,milk and meat and stockingup the pantry.

    I, myself, want to makesure I have enough food, propane, water, candles andbatteries to make sure I amcomfortable should we getsnowed in.

    Once I am home and out of

    the snowy, windy weather

    with my comfort items, I startto hunker down. There is just

    nothing better than to put onmy flannel pjs, make a hotpot of tea and get out a goodbook or a movie.

    I look lackadaisically out atthe snow falling. The whiteflakes look beautiful, but Iknow that before long theground will be covered andwe could get snowed in.

    Naturally, when I thinkabout what to cook to helpwarm me up, the first thingthat comes to mind is soup.Some of my favorites are po-tato soup, bean soup, andhomemade chicken and noo-dle.

    Now if we are lucky anddont lose the power in theblizzard, I also like to bake. Ilove baking fruit tarts, co-conut cake, and brownies.These are all foods that makeme feel good, so why notbake and eat them while youare cooped up in the house?(Baby its cold outside!)

    I remember that in the bliz-zard of 1978, I wasnt reallyprepared foodwise. I had fourkids at home and it seemed asif all we wanted to do was eat.

    I recall during that time,one of my neighbors hadcooked a turtle. If you didnt

    know it was turtle, it may

    have tasted okay, but I knew.I just couldnt bring myself to

    eat it. (I guess I must not havebeen hungry.)

    Today, I have two smalldogs, a Shih Tzu and a wienerdog. The wiener dog,Brownie, is very, very old,and has little short legs. Whenhe goes out into the snow, itshard to see him, especiallywhen the snow is deep. Hewill walk very slowly, mark-ing his territory. However, thewind and cold are not his cupof dog biscuits.

    Baylee, the Shih Tzu, lovesrunning through the snow,getting wet, coming in andshaking his wet fur. What fun.

    I cant say that I hate win-ter, because I love all four sea-sons. We are all going to findsomething about the weatherwe dont like, but the weatheralways makes a good topic ofconversation.

    I am glad we do have all ofthe weather forecasting de-vices and updates. I knowsnow is on the way, but thenso is spring, summer and fall.

    What is your favorite thingto do in a blizzard? What isyour favorite way to warmup? Are you ready for somesnow? Let me know and Illgive you a Penny for your

    Thoughts.

    Wolf spiders may seek winter homeBy Jim Lopshire

    OSU Extension educatorNow that the cool weather is

    setting in and Halloween isover, dont let your imagina-tion get the best of you whenyou see those large, hairy spi-ders. No, they are not tarantu-las they are wolf spiders.Although wolf spiders resem- ble tarantulas, they are notclosely related.

    Wolf spiders are rarelypests, but when they wanderinto the house in the fall look-ing for a warm place to over-winter, their large size oftenfrightens homeowners. Theyare commonly found arounddoors, windows, house plants,basements, garages, and in al-most all terrestrial habitats.

    Wolf spiders do not spin aweb but stalkand chase their prey like awolf. In fact,the root wordlycos in thescientific fam-ily name forwolf spidersLycosidae, isGreek forwolf.

    Wolf spidersare large, hairyspiders which are usually pat-

    terned with a mixture of black,gray, and brown. The wolf spi-der is shy and seeks to runaway when disturbed, almostnever seen out in the open. Ifyou see a fast-moving, dark-colored hairy spider runningon the floor that is 1/2 to 2

    inches inlength, it ismore likely to be a wolf spi-der.

    B e c a u s e

    wolf spiders aresometimes seenindoors and be-cause they areusually brownin color, theyare often mis-taken for brown

    recluse spiders. The brown re-cluse spider, commonly re-ferred to as a fiddleback orviolin spider, is approxi-mately 1/4 to 1/2 inch in length

    and has the unmistakable vio-lin-shaped marking behind thehead.

    Wolf spiders benefit humansby feeding on all sorts of in-sects, including crop pests. Ifpossible, collect wolf spidersthat have wandered indoors bymistake and release outdoors.Wolf spiders are very fast, soyou have to be fast too if youwant to catch one. The bestway to catch wolf spiders is todirect them into a container

    with a stick or pencil.You need to be careful, aswolf spiders can deliver apainful bite if they are handled.Their bites are extremely rareand no more dangerous orpainful than bee stings. In fact,bees and wasps are more dan-gerous than wolf spiders be-cause a wolf spider will neverattack a person, unlike beesor wasps that will attack to de-fend a hive.
