PAULDING – The First PresbyterianChurch of Paulding is celebrating its 140thanniversary on Sunday, Sept. 27. On thatday, members of the yellow brick churchon the corner of Cherry and CarolineStreets plan to look back at their historyand ahead to their future. At the 10:30 a.m. worship service, thecongregation will honor its 14 50-yearmembers. After the service, a catered lunch will beserved in the church’s fellowship hall.

The committee that has organized theevent expects and encourages lots of visi-tors. “Part homecoming and part outreach”is how they envision the celebration.

“Each member of the congregation wasgiven a pack of postcards to invite peoplethey know to come,” says Jane Nice, oneof the organizers. “It is an opportunity for

people who previously attended to come back, or for someone who has never beento church to come for a day of fun activi-ties.” Besides the food and fellowship, therewill be a photo scavenger hunt, a gameof identifying past members, and cake, ofcourse. The theme, “Streams of Living Wa-ter,” describes the ever-changing bodyof Christ. The original handful of members that founded the church in 1875 arelong gone, but as long-time member andnewspaper editor J.R. Ross wrote in 1935,“many have come to its banks, drank, and been refreshed.” Fifty-year members being honored in-clude Frieda Good, Betty St. John, JudyRobinson, Terry Buehler, Phyllis Cross-land, Jerry DeLong, Kenny Robinson,Becky Hurtig, Cara Lou Strahley, PaulPunches, Cleo Zeigler, Brenda DeLong,

Don Crossland and David Beatty. “I grew up here and went to churchhere,” commented committee memberCarol Razo. “For a while I went off to col-lege and got out of the habit of coming. Icame back when we got married and hadchildren. I brought them back to churchhere. It is the only church I have been a part of.” Pastor Dave Meriwether said that hecame to the church in 1991. It was his rst pastorate and he was intending to stay upto 10 years. Since that time, said Meri-wether, he has fallen in love with Pauldingand his children have grown here. He hasdeveloped a strong relationship with thechurch and community. Barb and Stan Searing moved to Pauld-ing in 1982. “We were immediately im- pressed with the warmth and friendliness

“He wanted to join thechurch the fastest as anyoneI’ve know,” said Meriwether.“They attended two Sundaysand wanted to join the church.” The scripture theme for theday is John 7:38, “Whoever believes in me, as the scripturehas said, streams of living wa-ter will ow from him.” “Our anniversary theme,‘Streams of Living Water,’

is alive and vivid throughoutthe hymn book,” said churchmusic director Sue Crossland.She referred to the words of a particular hymn that has takenon great meaning with churchmembers. They state: “I heardthe voice of Jesus say, ‘Be-hold, I freely give of the livingwater, thirsty and stoop down,and drink and live.’ I came toJesus and I drank of that livinggiving stream; my thirst wasquenched, my soul revived andnow I live in Him.” Jane Nice, who is heading upthe celebration, said that churchmembers have been singingsongs pertaining to the anniver-sary theme through the wholemonth of September. She notedthat there is an air of expectan-cy for the special Sunday.

ed us during this investigationand we cannot thank them allenough for their hard work.Through tremendous team-work this investigation was brought to the grand jury forfurther consideration,” Ristercontinued. “Paulding CountyCourt, Paulding County Proba-tion, and all its staff are gratefulfor their efforts to assist us.” “I appreciate the cooperationand swift response from theAuditor of State regarding thisinvestigation,” Sheriff JasonLanders said. “Mrs. Mungerwas a long-time county employee; and, I wanted to ensurethis was a fair, unbiased inves-tigation.” The investigation found thatformer Director of ProbationServices Emily Munger al-legedly instructed probationersto pay her in cash for their re-quired 3rd Millennium coursefees. Munger gave the proba-tioners “receipts” that she cre-ated to acknowledge they paidtheir fees; however, Mung-er did not give the money toPaulding County for the cours-es. It is alleged Munger stole

$9,240 in course fees. In addition, it was discov-ered that Munger collected$800 in fees for the SCRAMand EHMA electronic moni-toring programs, but the mon-ey was never deposited withthe county. According to the media re-lease, investigators also believethat Munger tampered with agrant application and falselyinated her hourly wage by $2 per hour. Burkard appointed Audi-tor of State Deputy Chief Le-gal Counsel Robert Smith toserve as special prosecutor inthe case. Munger was indictedSept. 11 on one third-degreefelony charge of theft in ofceand one third-degree felonycharge of tampering with re-cords. In July, Judge Rister termi-nated Munger for violationsof the Paulding County CourtProbation Ofce’s personnel policies and procedures.

Lovina’s friend provides morebackground on Amish wedding

A tent offered a shady hat and bonnet rack for friends, family

and church members attending the wedding of Tim and Liz.

Editor’s Note: Lovina Eicheris on vacation. Guest columnist Ruth Boss, an “English” friendof Lovina’s, shares her perspec-tive on the wedding of Tim and Elizabeth from her ringside seatas a “gopher” leading up to thewedding Aug. 14. August 7. One week until the big wedding! Lovina tells methey’ve invited 700 for the noonmeal, 600 for the evening meal,and 200 for the youth meal. But

about 30 percent won’t come;still, she will be serving 1,000meals. Some of the people areinvited to both meals so therewon’t be 1,000 actual guests – but who’s counting? August 12. How much fooddo you need to serve 1,000meals? A lot! For the dressingwe bought 45 loaves of bread(to be cubed and toasted), 12stalks of celery, and 10 poundsof onions. We picked up 350 pounds of chicken leg quar-ters to grill the morning of thewedding. Today 20-30 womenwill come to Lovina’s house tomake cherry and pecan pies andangel food cake. Tim, Liz, and Iwill pick up the 250 pounds of potatoes and 1,000 candy barsthis afternoon. It’s an Amishtradition in this community forthe bride and groom to hand oneout to each guest. It’s fascinat-ing to watch the family, friends,and church family work togeth-er to prepare for this wedding.The Amish community quietlyand cooperatively gets the jobdone.

August 13, early morning.It’s another cool morning inMichigan. The cooks in thewedding wagon are gratefulfor the cool breeze with sevenovens going, which also has

two large sinks and plenty of prep counters and open shelves.The cooks are chatting in Ger-man, probably catching upabout their families and news.The bread is being made alongwith peanut butter pie and “dirt pudding.” Two women cut thechicken leg quarters into two pieces. Susan is washing all the bed sheets today. Small chil-dren are playing and babies are being watched by young girls.A large pot of coffee is brewingwith snacks on a table. Yester-day Elizabeth gave Timothy ahaircut for the wedding. Aftertomorrow he will not shave his

beard as that is the tradition fora married man. Tonight all thesisters are having a sleepover inone bedroom for their last nighttogether.

August 13, afternoon. Thereis literally a bee hive of wom-en working in Lovina’s kitchen.Two are doing dishes, three arewashing windows, more aresweeping and mopping oors.Laundry is being folded byanother while yet another iscleaning the bathroom. Out-side, in the wedding wagon,the bread baking and dessertmaking continues. In the mid-dle of the kitchen four men sit

at the table with coffee, talkingabout work and other stuff mentalk about—and taking a breakfrom cleaning out the barn.The homemade bread is out ofthe oven; after brief cooling, it

will be put in used bread bags tomake it softer.

August 14: Tim and Eliz-abeth are ofcially married!We had beautiful weather. Thecooks arrived around 6:30 a.m.to start cooking. The wedding,which was at the neighbors,started at 9 a.m. with songs andthen preaching until about 11.Tim, Liz, and their witnesses satin the middle with benches in au-shape surrounding them. Themen sat on one side facing themiddle and the women sat op- posite them facing the middle.About 11 a.m. all the cooks andtable waiters led in and tookseats. It was all in German, soI didn’t understand what was

being said but towards the endthe bishop asked Liz and Timsix questions which are theirmarriage vows, to which theyanswered yes. After a prayerthe bishop placed Liz’s handin Tim’s and pronounced themhusband and wife. A wonderfulmeal was served at noon andanother at 5 p.m., and a separatesupper for the young people at 7 p.m. At the end of the eveningthe men and women all pitchedin to wash the dishes and packup the wedding wagons. Therewas a bit of mischief that in-volved a “silly string” war at theyouth dinner and some TP’ing

of Tim and Liz’s new house.Lovina and I have beenfriends for a number of years;she is just as genuine as youmay imagine her to be. Sheis patient and loving with her

children, and generous with hertime when it comes to helpingothers. She is deep rooted in herfaith and that is what has gottenher through the trials they haveexperienced through the years.There is fun and laughter intheir home, and often the sourceof jokes is Lovina herself! Shespeaks often of her gratitude forher readers and how the prayersand support of all of you have

helped her through some dif-cult times. She cherishes yourfriendship even though she willnever meet many of you. I amglad to call her my friend.

Here’s the peanut butter pieLovina’s family made for thewedding.

PEANUT BUTTER PIE(makes two)2 baked pie shells4 cups milk 1 cup sugar 1/4 teaspoon salt1/2 cup our 1 teaspoon vanilla3 eggs, beaten12 ounces whipped topping, di-videdCrumb Mixture:(make one batch for each pie)3/4 cup powdered sugar 1/3 cup peanut butter Mix powdered sugar and peanut butter with fork until itis coarse and crumbly.

Driving Miss Daisy Of all the occupations Iwould not want to have, theone I am least cut out for,would be anything connectedwith driving a motor vehicle.Since embracing the “single”life, I have to depend on my-self to drive and maneuver toget to where I want to go. Thishas proved to be a challenge,as I am not good at following

directions, following a roadmap or listening to the mono-tone voice of a GPS. I have learned a few lessonsduring the past year whichhave now attributed to mydriving skills. These rules are: Rule Number 1: Do not tryto follow anyone to get to yourdestination or they may loseyou in trafc. During a shopping adven-ture to an area city, I met myfriend at a local fast food eat-ery. The day was going fairlywell until we went to leave a big department store complex.It was here that my friendmade a turn and I being at

least two cars behind her lostsight of her vehicle. For some unknown reason,some guy pulled up besideme and motioned for me togo. Well, go I did! Unsure ofexactly which way to go, I in-advertently made a wrong turnonto a highway which washeaded the other direction.Yes, I was going the wrongway on a four lane highway.I believe every car honked atme, some said a few choicewords and one even gave mean obscene gesture. Oh my. Since I always saythat Jesus is my co-pilot, I be-gan praying to him to get me

out of this trafc situation.Jesus heard me and nally ev-ery car from both directionsstopped. Someone yelled atme to get moving across thedivide and to please get inthe right lane. Even though Ithink I may have scared Jesus,I thanked him for helping me. Rule Number 2 for driving:Always look at street signs.A few weeks ago after nish-

ing up a music gig, I thoughtto myself, “Instead of goingdown another block to makemy turn, I will just go up thisstreet because it is closer. Lit-tle did I know that another band member was watchingme and lataer said, “I couldnot believe my eyes when Isaw you headed down thatstreet! Didn’t you know that isa one-way street? Didn’t yousee the signs? Gal, you werelucky you didn’t get hit.” “No,” I answered. “Whatsigns?” What I did not realize wasthat at the end of that street,there was a bridge with cars

coming across it from fourdifferent lanes. Even thougheverything turned out for thegood, I will sure watch roadsigns. Please, no more one-way streets. Rule Number 3: Don’t lis-ten to back seat drivers. Amusician friend of mine rodeto a music gig with me and by the time we got there, he

was shaking in his boots. Hewas afraid we were going to be late and he kept telling mewhere to turn. After missingthe turn two times, he got a lit-tle frustrated. Then he told meto make a U-turn and then wewere headed in the right direc-tion, I missed the turn againand wound up on a dirt lane. Oh no! With no room tomake another U-turn, my pas-senger said, “Just go acrossthat curb and grass.” So with adetermination in my heart anda prayer in my head, I jumpedtwo curbs and wound up safeand sound. As far as I am concerned,

I think my driving is good. Itis the other people who may be in the wrong. However, I just don’t want to tell anyonewhere these situations arose, because the police would probably be sitting outside thecity limits. I am very thankful that Je-sus is always with me and al-ways has control of the wheel. I admit that I have madesome driving mistakes. Haveyou? Have you ever wentdown a four-lane highway thewrong way or jumped overtwo curbs? Let me know andI’ll give you a Penny for YourThoughts.

Lake vacation closes out busy

summer; fresh peaches to enjoy We had a nice few daysstaying by the lake. Our fam-ily enjoyed shing and swim-ming. We had some very hotdays so it was nice to be closeto the lake. Thanks to myfriend Ruth for writing the col-umn for me last week.

We attended the wedding ofLeander and Karen. Joe’s Un-cle Solomon and Aunt Nancyfrom Ohio joined us at Timo-thy and Elizabeth’s house forsupper. Joe helped Timothyunload some hay. We had agood supper with barbecuedchicken on the menu. Solomonand Nancy came to our housefor the night. I made breakfastfor all of us before they left thenext morning. We enjoyed hav-ing them here! On Sept. 2, our youngestchild, Kevin, turned 10 yearsold. He was excited to go tochurch as he gets to sit with the

boys now instead of with Joe.When the boys and girls turn10, they can sit with the girlsand boys 10 years and older. School started yesterday andJoseph, Lovina and Kevin hada nice rst day of school. We have peaches here thatneed to be canned. I’ll probably put some in the freezer, too. Last week, Timothy’s sisterhad a Norwex shower for Eliz-abeth. I had never been to a Norwex party (cleaning prod-ucts that are chemically saf-er). Elizabeth received all thehostess benets. A wash linewas also presented to Timothy

and Elizabeth that night. Fam-ily members had lled gallon,quart or sandwich size bagswith small gifts for Timothyor Elizabeth. It was interest-ing to see what people cameup with. An example of itemsin the bags were soup plates, bowls, spices, seasonings,kitchen items, nails, screws, baking supplies, buttons, pins,needles, Band-Aids, etc. Theyreceived a lot of nice things.The bags were all pinned to aclothes line hung outside withclothes pins. Sunday, our neighbor girlRuth was published to bemarried on Oct. 16 to Aden.Aden is also a member of ourchurch. I was asked to helpcook. Joe was asked to help

Lovina was happy to get some peaches canned this weekand also made a fresh peach dessert (see recipe).

wash dishes at night. Lorettawas asked to be a babysitter.The babysitters help watch thecooks’ babies and toddlers.

Loretta and I both need tohave a new aqua dress sewnfor this wedding. On Saturday, sister Liz andLevi are hosting our familygathering. I’m not sure whatthe exact number is for ourfamily count now, but I knowit’s over 100. Next year it will be our turn to host the gather-ing. It seems like the familyhas been together more thisyear since there were a fewweddings in the family. I am hoping to answer theletters to readers this week. Iapologize for taking this longto answer some of the letterswhile we were so busy withthe wedding and church ser-vices. Thank you so much foryour patience. God bless you
