Its amazing how in minutes your
whole life can change. But, for Kyle
Wobler, it wasnt minutes, but rather a
few fast moving seconds he can play
over and over in his mind with great de-
tail.
The details take a few minutes to ex-
plain and understand, but the event was
quick, just seconds and not very pretty.
However, the results could not have
been scripted any better by the best
Hollywood writers.
Just a few months removed from his
high school graduation at Wayne Trace,
Kyle was traveling home from an all
night shift at work.
It was a typical warm August morn-
ing in 2010 and Wobler was traveling
on US 30 near the rest area and Richey
Road when the turn of events started
spinning helplessly before him.
Following are the details Wobler recalls.
It was Aug. 16 and I left work with a stop at Huggy
Bear Camp at Middle Point before continuing home at
about 9:30 a.m.
Driving a 2003 Mitsubishi, Kyle was struggling to stay
awake and had drifted over the rumble strips only to be
awakened by the sound.
After the warning of the rumble strips a couple of
times I put my seat belt on and continued, he said.
Still fighting sleep, the young 18-year-old could not
control his need for sleep and in a few short minutes the
accident that was about to happen became a reality and
change his life forever.
The Wayne Trace grad not only drifted to sleep, but this
time he drifted into the median and when he realized his
situation it was too late.
I went into the grassy area of the median, hitting a lit-
tle drainage ditch and it knocked me out
briefly. Then I tangled with a guard rail
and fence then spun around and came to
a stop, Kyle said.
Maybe in shock, yet still strong
enough to fight his way out of the vehi-
cle, Kyle managed to walk around the
wrecked car and look up towards the
highway only to see the tops of semis as
they sped by.
I finally looked down at my right
leg and saw two bones sticking out
from the flesh and covered with blood
and my ankle was just dangling lifeless
at the side. I thought I was going to
bleed to death.
In all the pain and fear, Kyle knew he
needed to get the attention of someone
from the highway and he continued to
persist. Grabbing hold of the tall weeds
in the grassy median and now down an
all fours, he desperately tried to pull
himself up to US 30. But, he quickly re-
alized it was to no avail. In the meantime, he heard a voice
and as he looked closely he saw a person at the top of the
median on a cell phone.
With all my strength I yelled to the stranger to call 9-
1-1.
Soon a state trooper arrived and Kyle asked him to call
his dad, Steve, and inform him about the accident.
Coughing up blood and getting weaker, Kyle could hear
the sound of the medical personnel getting closer. After
arriving and making a quick trip to the Van Wert Hospital,
he was quickly air lifted to Parkview in Fort Wayne.
But, who was the stranger?
He was a truck driver from Auburn, Ind. and his name
was Albert Hague. He came to visit me while I was in the
hospital and we have talked on a couple of occasions,

COLUMBUS The Paulding

awards from the Ohio Newspaper

See AWARD, page 2A
stating they have rejected all bids for
the sale of the old county jail due to
incomplete bid packets.
The pending sale will be put out for
re-bidding, with bid opening sched-
uled for March 20 at 9:45 a.m.
If the historical jail property finds a
new owner, it will end a brief contro-
versy over preservation or destruc-
tion of this county landmark. In
December, it was learned that the
commissioners planned to have the
137-year-old building razed this win-
ter. After some public outcry and in-
terest in the structure, the commis-
sioners decided to put it up for bid.
By MELINDA KRICK
Progress Editor
PAULDING The potential sale of
the countys historical jail has been
postponed until March after the com-
missioners rejected bids opened last
week.
On Wednesday, Feb. 13, the
Paulding County commissioners
opened four sealed bids for the sale of
the 1876 county jail.
Attending the bid opening were
Commissioners Fred Pieper, Tony
Zartman and Roy Klopfenstein,
Sheriff Jason Landers, Treasurer Lou
Ann Wannemacher, Treasurer
Claudia Fickel, Clerk of Courts Ann
Pease, bidder Kim McMichael, two
members of the press and two of the
commissioners clerks.
The commissioners advertised for
sealed bids for the former jail and
sheriffs office and two lots. The bid
was to contain a plan for intended use
of the property. The commissioners
reserved the right to reject any and all
bids.
Only one of the four bids included
a plan.
The first bid contained only a blank
sheet of paper with no bid amount or
other information.
The second bid was from Ricky J.
Fortman for $10,777. No details were
included.
The third bid was from Jeff Hollis
of All Trades Restoration, who bid
$6,500. Hollis didnt include a plan.
The fourth and final bid was from
former resident Kim McMichael of
Cutler. He bid $5,000 and included a
plan.
Pieper said the commissioners
would take some time to review the
proposal then make a final decision
on Feb. 20.
However, that same afternoon, the
commissioners issued a press release

Pauldings sewer separation project is about to begin in full swing as materials were being un-
loaded last week at a vacant lot location on West Caroline Street. Friday, there was a semi flatbed
loaded with pipe and a semi load of manholes, catch basins and other hardware. This location will
be the storage area for various parts needed to complete the project. Construction is due to begin
this week in two locations with one crew on Perry Street and the other crew on Emerald Road.

PAULDING Some streets
will be closed, traffic rerouted,
home utility services lost for a
short time and may force
some of you to get out your
boots. The notice to proceed
with the first phase of the
sewer separation project,
which was mandated by the
Ohio EPA, was issued to
Underground Utilities on Feb.
13. This sewer separation
project (Phase 1) is scheduled
for completion April 9, 2014
at a cost of $4,157,502.52.
Paulding village officials,
Jones & Henry Engineers Ltd.
management, project manag-
er Michael Karafa, Ohio EPA
officials, Ohio Gas Company
representatives, AEP repre-
sentatives, ODOT, and the
press attended a Paulding
sewer separation project pre-
construction meeting on Feb.
13.
Combined sewers are found
in many communities and
carry both sanitary sewage
and stormwater in the same
pipe. In wet weather, the ex-
cess combined flows are
transported to overflow con-
duits that discharge into a
local body of water.
Implementation of the project
will result in environmental
benefits, mainly water quality
improvement in Flat Rock
Creek.
Phase I will separate sewers
on portions of the following
streets: Jackson, Perry,
Harrison, Wayne, Sugar,
German, Walnut, Cherry,
Main, Caroline, Emerald and
Flatrock.
Work will include replacing
approximately 8,600 feet of
sanitary sewer, the installation
of about 12,000 feet of storm
sewer and rehabilitating
11,000 feet of cured-in-place
sewer.
Numerous issues concern-
ing the engineers, village offi-
cials, various utilities and the
Ohio EPA included communi-
cations and correspondence,
utility comments, shop draw-
ings, insurance, estimate, con-
struction site observation,
construction schedule, shut-
downs, construction proce-
dures, emergency contacts,
labor standards, safety and
document retention.
Underground utilities proj-
ect manager Michael Karafa
indicated that construction
was to begin on Tuesday, Feb.
19 with two crews; one will
start on Emerald Road, near
the Paulding School, and the
other on Perry Street. Emerald
Road will be closed until the
crew completes the work on
Emerald Road and turns the
corner on Caroline Street.
The closing of Emerald
Road will impact traffic
around the school so staff
parking lots will need to be
temporarily closed and buses
will be circled around the
parking lot. This will cause
some inconveniences for a
short while, but it is just a part
of this construction project.
It was stated that homeown-
ers would be affected as vari-
ous lines are tapped.
Homeowners will be notified
in advance and the day of ac-
tual construction. This will
help make the project as pain-
less as possible.
It was stated that there were
already complaints which will
all be handled by Jones &
Henry, who has developed a
standard complaint form.
These forms can be obtained
from the village office. Jones
& Henry representative Joe
Hotz commented that they
want to track and answer
every complaint.
There was discussion and
decisions made regarding the
material used to contact gas
lines, tamping around cast
iron water lines, taps into
main lines, movement of
street lights and power pole
relocation.
There were specific re-
quirements concerning where
to dispose of excess dirt from
the project. The Ohio EPA re-
quired the contractor to get all
dump sites approved by the
Ohio EPA prior to hauling any
dirt to these sites. The
Auglaize Quarry and land
across from the Paulding
County Fairground has al-
ready been approved.
Several semi loads of pipe
and other materials were un-
loaded on Feb. 13 across from
the Cooper Plant on West
Caroline Street. Now the ef-
fort of digging and hiding as
much of this material as possi-
ble, underground down the
center of the street, in front of
homes and businesses, begins.
The next construction meet-
ing is scheduled for 10 a.m.
Feb. 28 at the construction
field office on Jackson Street.
downtown Paulding.
The other win was in the
category of best news photo
for an image of the hotel fire.
The judges, from Kent State
University, commented,
Great layout. Strong, clean
images that have impact.
Captions are well written and
descriptive.
The Progress also received
a third-place award in the
same category, for a photo
from a school bus/van crash
last spring. Both photos were
taken by editor Melinda
Krick.
The fourth award was a
second place for special edi-
tion or section for the histori-
cal publication, Visions of

Now was the theme for the

tage and current photos from

of lessons. One being how
life can change in an instant,
said Kyle.
In order for his dream to
come true, Kyle didnt blink
an eye and went through the
necessary training. The 120
training hours consisted of
class work and physical train-
ing including the working of
a live burn.
Its exciting to be a fire-
fighter and I am thankful to
have the opportunity to serve
my community, but its more
than that, he said.
I want to inspire others
who are going through diffi-
culty how they, too, can work
hard and do something about
it.
According to Kyle, the ac-
cident back on that innocent
summer morning, made him
grow up and be a gentleman,
a person with purpose and a
dream to fulfill.
It made me appreciate
life. Knowing that something
can happen and in a few sec-
onds change your entire life,
he said.
But, the dream and purpose
doesnt stop there. Today,
Kyle is not only a Payne fire-
fighter, but added to his cre-
dentials is the title of EMT.
Just recently, in January,
Kyle successfully completed
an additional 120 hours of
training to become an EMT.
Its a dream job. Thats
what Ive always wanted to
become and now I can live
out the dream by helping oth-
ers, concluded Kyle.
Now, with the Aug. 16,
2010 accident behind him, he
will continue to help those in
need and do what he can to
make a positive difference,
whether it is playing the role
of a fireman or sharing with a
young person about how they
can succeed if they live out
their dreams.
For Kyle thats really his
dream job.
said Kyle.
After arriving at Parkview,
it was determined that he had
a compound fracture of the
tibia and fibula requiring
emergency surgery. A series
of rods, plates and screws
were inserted on his ankle
along with repair to the leg
fractures. Kyle remained hos-
pitalized for five days and
walked out of the hospital
with no crutches and hopes of
a full recovery.
Unfortunately, his time
away from the hospital was
short-lived. After being home
for a day or so, he started hav-
ing complications with fever
and a foul odor coming from
the injured leg.
I went back to the ER and
they did some minor surgery
and then cleaned out the
wounded area three times
during the next five days.
Kyle recalled, It was de-
termined the dirty drainage
water had infected the open
wounds of the leg. At that
point a decision needed to be
made. The leg could be fused
back together or amputate the
leg just below the knee.
The doctors said if they
fused it together it would be a
two-year process and still
would not be the same. There
would be ongoing physical
issues as well as a change in
my entire personality, said
Kyle.
To amputate would obvi-
ously require a prosthetic
limb, but as the doctors ex-
plained to Kyle how in a short
period of time he would be
back to normal.
With no hesitation the good
looking young man with a de-
termined heart chose amputa-
tion. The leg was amputated
on Aug. 30 and he spent three
or four days in the hospital.
From the day of the acci-
dent to the day he walked out
of the hospital, unassisted
with a prosthetic leg, was six
weeks. He has not stopped
living a dream that was al-
ways in his mind all along,
but may have taken an acci-
dent to fully live it out.
Now, two years later, the
21-year-old is reaching his
goals in life. He was cleared
to go back to work full-time
in March 2011.
Although there was some
apprehension in getting his
old job back, he now has the
same boss and is in the same
department as he was prior to
the accident.
His boss, Scott Clay said,
Its amazing to see what he
can do now that hes back at
work. Part of Kyles job is
lifting racks weighing as
much as 70 pounds and plac-
ing them on a monorail.
Kyle always had dreams of
being a fireman. That should-
nt be a big surprise to those
who know him because it is a
family thing. His grandpa,
Jim Miller, is a former Payne
fire chief, Kyles dad was a
member of the fire depart-
ment and today his cousin,
Jamie Mansfield, is the cur-
rent chief.
Its something I have
dreamed about and always
wanted to be a firefighter. The
accident has taught me a lot

PAULDING The Hands of
Hope Pregnancy Services Inc. has
partnered with Youth for Christ and
will be opening their newest preg-
nancy center on March 1. The clin-
ic is located in the Samaritan build-
ing, located at 1030 West Wayne
St., across from the Paulding
County Hospital.
On Friday, Feb. 15, approximate-
ly 17 volunteers were taking the
necessary training to prepare for the
opening of the center. The initial
training was a four hour in-house
course where volunteers studied
various topics to prepare them to
help with the new services.
The Hands of Hope Pregnancy
Services is a Christian outreach
ministry with approximately 400
offices throughout the United
States.
Their mission is to protect the life
of the unborn, offer alternatives to
abortion, encourage sexual absti-
nence outside of marriage, educated
the community, bring people to a
saving knowledge of Jesus Christ
and offer compassion and love by
providing spiritual, emotional and
physical support to those affected
by an unplanned pregnancy.
The president of the board of di-
rectors, Shirley Briggeman, a long-
time volunteer with the pregnancy
centers was on-site to help with vol-
unteer training. Briggeman said,
This is very exciting and nice to be
able to offer these services here in
Paulding.
Malinda Ricker of Van Wert is
the director of client services for the
center.
Initially the center will be open
on Fridays from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m.,
beginning March 1
Services are open and free to
everyone regardless of age, marital
status, income or residence. All in-
formation will be held in strict con-
fidence and their needs are the pri-
ority of the center; therefore, they
may be referred to services that
meet their needs when the services
of the center cannot.
Pregnant women and their part-
ners will receive information and
classes on how to care for a baby
and the opportunity to earn items
from the material assistance store
by taking educational classes. There
is no charge to attend the classes or
to receive the services.
Items in the assistance store in-
clude donated items such as dia-
pers, blankets, lotions and items for
newborn babies.
Eventually, it is hoped there will
be mental health support at the cen-
ter. Dr. Todd Wiley will be the
physician in charge of the center.
The center will offer free preg-
nancy tests and it is hoped that with
some donations, moneys will be
raised to purchase ultra-sound
equipment.
Doug Roop, director of Youth for
Christ, will be visiting guidance
counselors in the schools to make
them aware of the services.
The Samaritan Center building is
over 10,000 square feet in size and
was donated by Dr. Donald and
Myrna Snyder of Payne. Dr.
Snyder, who retired from his med-
ical practice in 2004, said that he
and his family had always support-
ed the Youth for Christ program in
Paulding County and that it was
their desire that the building be used
by Youth for Christ for the ministry.
The former medical building,
houses at least 30 rooms, offices, a
full basement and has an ample
sized parking lot.
To make an appointment with the
Hands of Hope Pregnancy Services,
call 419-399-2447.
Anyone using the services should
enter the east door (at the rear) and
parking will be available as well.
A wish list has been compiled for
the new ministry at the Samaritan
Center which includes prayer sup-
port and volunteers willing to be
trained, donations for operating ex-
penses, pictures, plants and wall
decor and a good used copy ma-
chine and paper.
The material assistance store
could use baby clothing, baby
wipes, size 2 diapers, baby bottles,
formula and lotions.
Anyone wanting to donate can
call the building manager, Doug
Roop, at 419-399-7218 or the cen-
ter at 419-399-2447.
Monetary donations may be sent

gathering on Saturday. Joes
sister, Salome and Morris, are
hosting a late family Christ-
mas. We will all get together
for a 10:30 a.m. carry-in
brunch. This will be a two-
hour journey for us. Our
plans are to start out around
6:30 a.m. Joe has eight sisters
and three brothers and we
hope they will all be able to
attend.
We hope for good weather
and safe roads. We have still
been having some snowy
days and cold weather this
week.
A happy birthday goes to
Susans friend, Mose, whos
birthday was on Tuesday,
Feb. 5. Susan prepared a
birthday supper for Mose and
his family here at home to
take along in honor of his
birthday.
Since Joe was home from
work, he offered to grill the
chicken for her. Susan was re-
ally glad she did not have to
grill the meat in the cold
weather. Joe doesnt mind
and he enjoys grilling. We
had the grill close by the
walk-out basement doors. He
could step inside and warm
up.
Tuesday, Joe also took a
buggy ride over to visit with
brother-in-law, Jacob. Jacobs
arthritis was fired up keeping
him home from work for a
few days. Joe asked me to go
along for the ride, but I had
dough rising for bread cinna-
mon rolls that needed taken
care of.
It would have been nice to
My husband, Joe, has been
home the last three days, not
having any work. Makes it a
little harder on payday, but
we shouldnt complain. God
always provides a way if we
keep our trust in him.
Meanwhile, Joe has been
busy here at home. Yesterday,
our two oldest girls, Elizabeth
and Susan, were working and
the six youngest were in
school. Joe helped me do the
laundry and then we made
noodles the rest of the day. It
is a good feeling to see a table
full of noodles drying.
My noodle maker gave up
on us. It was a wedding gift
from my brother, Albert and
his wife, Sarah Irene. I guess
it would be almost 20 years
old already. It is hard to be-
lieve we will have our 20th
anniversary in July.
While we were making
noodles, we had company
stop by. It was Joes cousin
Leander, his wife Rosina and
son, and also two girls from
their community in
Rochester, Ind. It was a nice
surprise, but we were glad
they stopped in even if their
visit was short. Joe and Lean-
der grew up together and
have a lot of fun memories to
recall. Joe is always glad for
a chance to visit with Lean-
der. There is a new fam-
ily moving into our
community and they were as-
sisting them in unloading
their belongings.
Daughter Susan is baking
monster cookies. We will take
100 of them to the family
have gotten out of the house
for awhile. It would be nice to
have a heater hooked up in
our buggy which would make
for warmer trips to town and
back. Although we are al-
ready a lot warmer in our
covered buggies than the
open ones we used to drive
when we lived in Indiana.
I had a letter from cousin
Lydia asking for family infor-
mation. She is putting together
a family record book of my
mothers family. I will be ex-
cited to see it when it is fin-
ished. There were 88
grandchildren, so it is hard to
keep track of where everyone
lives and how many children
they have.
There will be a lot of sad
changes since the last book like
this was made in 2004. Weve
had quite a few deaths since the
last book was made. But,
weve also had some happy ad-
ditions. Our youngest child,
Kevin, wasnt born yet when
that book was made.

Less noise is
big improvement
Dear Editor,
I want to extend a big
thank you to Cooper Feeds
here in Paulding. Over the
past year they have made
significant improvements in
the amount of noise they
generate when processing
their grain. In the past, when
they were drying grain, it
was so loud that it was very
disturbing to the peace and
quiet of the neighborhood.
This is an example of a busi-
ness being a very good
neighbor and those of us that
live near the elevator do ap-
preciate their efforts.

LLCs Part Three: How an
LLC and a Trust Work To-
gether
Lately this column has ex-
plored LLCs, examining how
an LLC is set up and how an
LLC actually runs and is
taxed. This article examines
how an LLC and a trust work
together. As explored in pre-
vious articles (accessible at
www.keisterbaker.com), es-
tablishing an LLC can limit
liability. In addition, the
transfer of property and the
transition of business man-
agement can be made much
easier by having both an LLC
and trust.
First, an LLC limits liability.
This is accomplished by reg-
istering an LLC with the
Ohio Secretary of State, exe-
cuting the right LLC docu-
ments and by separating
personal assets from business
assets and by operating the
business separate from per-
sonal affairs. This separation
of assets is done through reti-
tling property. In a farm situ-
ation, this may require
deeding farm ground to an
LLC and retitling farm
equipment. It also means es-
tablishing a separate business
checking account and filing
separate business taxes. A
qualified attorney can guide
you through this process.
With the personal property ti-
tled to a trust and the business
property titled to an LLC, if
the LLC is sued other trust
assets can be protected. The
right LLC structure may
make all the difference in
protecting your home and
personal assets from business
creditors. Therefore, an LLC
can protect your personal as-
sets held in a trust.
Second, an LLC may sim-
plify the transfer of your
property. Take for instance a
farmer who wants to leave
farm ground to several heirs.
While you can deed a one-
sixth interest to a trust bene-
ficiary, it may be more
efficient to transfer one-sixth
of the LLCs units (shares) to
a beneficiary instead. The
LLC is particularly useful if
gifting is anticipated. An
LLC can avoid the hassle, ex-
pense and confusion of exe-
cuting complicated deeds.
Third, an LLC offers the ben-
efit of a smooth business
transition. If your health sud-
denly becomes an issue and
you run a business with no
formal legal structure, the
transition to multiple heirs
can become a free-for-all. A
trust and an LLC can work
together to state who will run
the business or how new of-
ficers will be selected. Its
critical to have a plan in place
that not only avoids sibling
rivalries, but also ensures that
your business interests con-
tinue to thrive.
The goal is protection with a
smooth transition. A trust and
an LLC can do just that.

Antwerp Holdings asks for summary
judgment for unpaid Manor House rent
Reminder to file for Homestead Exemption
By DENISE GEBERS
Progress Staff Writer
A new development has come to light in the
Antwerp Holdings lawsuit against TDM3 Ltd.
concerning the property housing Manor House
Assisted Living and other entities.
In response to a motion filed Feb. 1 by the
plaintiff requesting a summary judgment from
TDM3 Ltd., Paulding Common Pleas Court
Judge Tiffany Beckman made two orders, filed
Feb. 13.
Her first order requires the defendant to re-
spond to the motion by March 1.
Secondly, her order allows the plaintiff to re-
spond by March 15, at which time she will take
the motion under advisement with no oral argu-
ment.
Antwerp Holdings LLCs eight-page motion
with addendums totaled over 100 pages. It asks
for unpaid rent totaling $579,245.63 plus a 3 per-
cent prejudgment interest on the past due balance
and $50,298.50 in attorney fees.
Last October, attorney Joe Burkard was
named receiver for Manor House Assisted Liv-
ing Ltd. and the Essen House Restaurant Ltd. At
that time Louis and Mary Lengacher, TDM3,
Ltd. and any other entity owned by the Lengach-
ers were ordered to vacate the premises at the
same time that the Manor House Assisted Liv-
ing, Ltd. and the Essen House Restaurant Ltd.
vacate the premises.
Manor House and Essen House are allowed to
stay on site until May 1 unless Antwerp Hold-
ings LLC obtains licensing to operate the as-
sisted living area before that time. They were not
allowed to take over before Feb. 1.

In The
Garden
By
Kylee Baumle
The wildflower show
is about to begin
Spring fever is hitting hard.
The sun is shining more days
than not, and even though we
still have some snow now and
then, the temperatures seem to
be inching ever upward, even
if its slower than Id like. To
make things worse, I look
through the photos Ive taken
in previous years and I see that
in less than a month, well have
quite a few flowers in bloom.
But I want it NOW.
All things in good time.
While I long for warm spring
days, and even summer heat, I
also enjoy the early walks in
nearby woods, where I can
watch the floor come to life,
one wildflower at a time. In my
minds eye, I can see it as time-
lapse photography. First comes
the skunk cabbage, well end
with the fire pinks, and by then
its summer.
About that skunk cabbage.
Its one of the first to appear
and is very common in our part
of Ohio, but to my knowledge,
in all my forays into the woods,
Ive never seen it. I would
imagine its because I dont go
out looking for it early enough.
It generally appears in late Feb-
lobes like the human liver and
also because in the past it has
been used to treat liver disor-
ders. Hepatica is one of my
very favorite wildflowers and
though its native to Ohio, its
not one of the most commonly
seen here.
Ill never forget the first time
I saw hepaticas growing in the
wild in a woods on the eastern
side of Paulding County. I
nearly hyperventilated. They
have delicate blooms resem-
bling small anemones, coming
in varying shades of pale pink,
lavender, and white.
If I tell you what else is com-
ing to a woods near you, Ill
make you more impatient for
spring, too. Just know that it
wont be long before the show
begins. Were fortunate to live in
a location where we can watch
such beauty take weeks to un-
fold, necessitating several walks
in the woods to catch it all.
Remember though, that its
unlawful to remove native wild-
flowers without a landowners
permission and not permitted at
all from state and national parks
or public gardens, no matter
how tempting it might be.
Theyll be there year after year
for generations to enjoy and
theres nowhere they look better
than in their native environment
anyway.

ruary, sometimes poking up
through the snow, and because
of its ability to generate heat, it
can melt the snow around it.
Temperatures inside its
tightly wrapped foliage and
flower buds can reach 70 de-
grees! This only serves to in-
tensify the skunky smell it
gives off, but that smell also
serves a purpose. Its odor at-
tracts pollinators, such as flies
and bees. No doubt the people
at the Black Swamp Nature
Center know where I might be
able to see some skunk cab-
bage for myself; maybe theres
even some there.
Next to appear will likely be
Spring Beauty, which is ex-
tremely plentiful, and not just
in the woods. Ive seen its little
lavender-striped white flowers
dotting yards, too. You have to
get down at ground level to see
the striations, otherwise they
appear to be just white, or even
pale pink.
There will be hepaticas,
commonly called liverwort,
because its foliage has three

Campus Notes
A Penny For
Your Thoughts....
By: Nancy Whitaker
THE CRUISE FROM HELL
Sometimes a couple saves
their money all their lives and
wait until the kids are grown to
take that perfect vacation. Per-
haps, they want to go on a
cruise to relax and enjoy the
warm sun. Everyone dreams of
sitting on a lounge chair on the
deck soaking up rays and
drinking cool drinks.
The food is promised to be
the best you have ever eaten
and luxurious surroundings
will be right at your fingertips.
Personally, I have never had
the desire to go on a cruise.
First of all I dont care for the
sea or the ocean and getting my
feet off of dry land scares me
half to death.
Not only that, but we have
been hearing horror stories
about ill-fated cruise ships with
some even causing death.
On Feb. 7, 3,142 passengers
were waiting and expecting to
have a glorious four-day cruise
on a state-of-the-art ship, The
Triumph. First of all, the Car-
nival Triumph was
893 feet 4 inches (272.3 m)
long and had a beam of
116 feet 6 inches (35.5 m).
Carnival Triumph also had a
Great Cities of the World
theme. Her amenities include
the Paris Dining Room, the
London Dining Room, the
Rome Lounge, Club Rio fea-
turing music, a workout center
and a Spa Carnival.
The ship left from Galveston
and in, addition to all those
passengers, had 1,086 crew
members aboard. I am sure
there were a lot of people plan-
ning on making this trip mem-
orable and having a good time.
And, that it was, memorable
that is!
Disaster struck the Triumph
early Sunday morning, Feb. 10,
when the ship suffered a fire in
the engine room. Although the
fire was automatically extin-
guished, it resulted in a loss of
power and propulsion. While
the emergency generator was
providing some power, the ship
was left adrift about 150 miles
off the coast of the Yucatan
Peninsula in the Gulf of Mex-
ico.
With no lights, power, air
conditioning, refrigeration or
restroom facilities, conditions
worsened in a hurry. Plus, there
was a limited food supply.
Some family members were
sleeping together in a hallway
near a customer service office
trying to get enough food to
feed their group and using red
plastic bags set into garbage
cans as restrooms. They were
setting the waste in the halls.
The crew was doing their
best to clean up passengers
waste and to keep clean the few
toilets that were working. Peo-
ple had taken to urinating in
showers.
By Tuesday, fruit, water and
sandwiches were distributed,
supplied by other Carnival
ships that passed by and sent
provisions.
Reports said, however, that
people were waiting in line for
up to 4 hours just to get 1/2 of
a hamburger.
An emergency generator and
provisions, including food and
water was delivered finally on
Wednesday. The emergency
generators allowed partial
restoration of some shipboard
functions, including the fresh
water system.
Still, with free liquor, little
food and conditions so poor,
passengers had been reportedly
getting ill from the stress and
the stench. Anxiety was high
among family members who
were waiting to hear how their
loved ones fared.
It is just squalor and dis-
gusting, said Steven Peery of
Sacramento, whose wife was
on the ship.
The goal was to reach port in
Mobile, Ala. by early afternoon
Feb. 14. The cause of the fire is
still not known and is being
investigated.
Now, it is being reported
that passengers will get a re-
fund back for their ill-fated
trip and maybe an opportu-
nity to take another cruise.
Well, if I had been on that
cruise, I sure would not want
to take another one. Watching
the movie Titanic was good
enough for me. I dont want
to go on a cruise because with
my luck, the boat would
probably sink just like the Ti-
tanic. Ship Ahoy! Dry land
for me!
Have you ever been on a
cruise ship? Did you have
fun? Do you feel that these
ships are safe? Let me know
and Ill give you a Penny for
Your Thoughts.

If you are thinking of plant-
ing a tree or shrub in and
around your home site, now is
a good time to begin planning
and ordering your trees.
Choosing a variety with the
characteristics that will provide
the greatest satisfaction in a
given situation requires careful
consideration.
Most homeowners make the
mistake of deciding what kind
of tree they want and then they
try to fit it into their landscape.
A more positive approach is to
decide where a tree is needed
and what that tree should do in
the landscape.
Understanding the types of
benefits that you want to get
from your project, wildlife
habitat, snow/wind control,
recreation, or aesthetics can
make a big difference in choos-
ing which tree(s) you should
plant.
After the desired type of tree
has been determined, then it is
much easier to select a species
to fulfill these requirements.
Once you know what type of
tree you are going to buy, you
must decide if you intend to
buy a bare-root, machine-
balled, balled-in-burlapped, or
containerized plant. How you
treat the tree or shrub at plant-
ing time will partially depend
upon how the roots were pre-
pared for planting.
Bare-root trees are usually
the least expensive nursery
plants. This type of tree is dug
when dormant with no soil on
the roots. The roots must be
protected from drying out and
from mechanical damage.
Plant them as soon as possi-
ble while the trees are dor-
mant.
Machine-balled trees are
dug as bare-root and then the
roots are packed in sphagnum
peat moss or wood shavings
and wrapped in plastic. Han-
dle them carefully to avoid
breaking roots. These, too,
should be planted while they
are still dormant.
Balled-in-burlapped trees
are dug from a production
field with an undisturbed ball
of soil around the roots. The
root ball is wrapped in burlap
that is tied with twine or wire
and pinned with nails. They
may place the ball in a wire
framework or basket.
Containerized plants are
sold in pots. These plants
may have grown in the con-
tainer for a year or more; may
have been dug bare-root and
planted in the pot earlier that
year; or may have been field-
grown, dug with a soil ball,
and potted. Both the balled-
in-burlapped and container-
ized plants usually cost more
than bare-root plants. How-
ever, since you move soil
with the roots, the plants are
more likely to survive.
The Paulding County Soil
and Water Conservation Dis-
trict is conducting its annual
tree seedling and nature sale.
The trees are bare-root
seedlings. Additional infor-
mation on the sale is available
by contacting the SWCD of-
fice at 419-399-4771 or visit-
ing their office located in the
extension building located on
the fairgrounds.

Junior fair board
to hold fund-raisers
By BILL SHERRY
Correspondent
PAULDING The Paulding County
Junior Fair Board and 4-H clubs were
very active in 2012 repairing, renovating
and painting some buildings at the fair-
grounds, but their funds are limited. The
junior fair board announced that they will
be doing some fund-raising to help replen-
ish their general fund and continue work-
ing on the buildings.
The Paulding County Agriculture Soci-
ety met Feb. 13 in the newly remodeled
secretarys office. Several members of the
junior fair board and their advisor, Tony
Miller, were among those present.
Among the youth fund-raisers will be
the sale of benches that will be placed
around the fairgrounds as part of an ongo-
ing advertising campaign. The benches
can include lettering with the
sponsor/buyer information.
The junior fair board will also be selling
different types of laundry detergent and fab-
ric softeners. Contact one of the youth or call
the extension office for more details.
The junior fair board announced that the
theme for this years Paulding County Fair
is Were Growing and Showing.
The junior fair board will have a lock-in
March 1-2.
Ag society board treasurer Jodi Poulson
presented the board with a treasurers report
and announced she is training Ron Etzler,
who began this month as the new treasurer.
Poulson told the board that she would as-
sist with the upcoming audit. Poulson ad-
vised the board that, in her opinion, they
needed to make some changes, which in-
cluded appointing three new members on
banking accounts, emailing monthly trea-
surers report, using QuickBooks to print
checks, backing up QuickBooks accounts
and upgrading virus software.
The board voted to establish a computer
committee consisting of Larry Colley,
Kenny Thomas and Katie Hughes.
The board also voted unanimously to put
the ag society treasurer, president, and sec-
retary on the banking accounts,
The upcoming camper pull-out is sched-
uled for March 23. There was some discus-
sion concerning camper storage space and
the potential of some price changes. There
is anticipation that a decision could be
made at the next board meeting.
The next meeting is scheduled for 7:30
p.m. March 13.

Weekly Reminder
QUESTION: Im in my
mid-30s and have never
been married. I have been
dating a man for the last
few months. I have polycys-
tic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
and cannot have children.
At what point in our dating
relationship should I share
that kind of information? It
is a very emotional situation
for me. Thank you for your
advice.
JIM: First, Im sorry to
learn of your inability to con-
ceive. At Focus we often hear
from women who have strug-
gled with infertility in various
forms, and we know how dif-
ficult it can be.
I ran your question by our
counseling team, and as for
when to reveal this informa-
tion to your boyfriend, the
consensus was clear the
sooner the better. If youre in
your 30s and have been dat-
ing several months, Id be
surprised if the subject of
marriage hasnt been raised
already. Although it may be
painful to talk about, this is
the type of information your
boyfriend needs to know. It
establishes an open and hon-
est relationship, too.
Although the desire for
children is an important con-
sideration for couples consid-
ering marriage, it doesnt
have to be a deal breaker.
There are a number of other
important factors for each of
you to consider during this
phase of dating, including one
anothers character, families of
origin, and so on.
Also, its important to re-
member that NO married cou-
ple is guaranteed biological
children. It just doesnt happen
for some people, despite their
strong desire to have kids. But,
couples who are deeply com-
mitted can weather the storm of
infertility and look into other
options, especially adoption.
May God bless you and your
boyfriend as you work through
these questions together.
QUESTION: I am single and
having a hard time finding
someone in my age range
25-35 that wants to have a
loving, committed relation-
ship. It seems that most men
I date just want to date casu-
ally. Eventually I would like
to get married and have a
family. Do you have some ad-
vice for me?
LISA ANDERSON, man-
ager of young adults: Your
question reminds me of that
song by the Supremes, You
dont really love me, you just
keep me hanging on. Youre
absolutely right that there are
many single men out there who
are suffering from some form
of Peter Pan syndrome; they
refuse to grow up, to commit,
to be men. Probably hundreds
of books some of them helpful,
some not have been written on
this phenomenon, and there is
reliable social science data to
back it up.
Be that as it may, it would be
a mistake to stereotype all men
this way. There are still some
good guys out there. Rather
than resorting to the men are
pigs mentality, Id encourage
you to maximize this season of
singleness.
Suzanne Hadley Gosselin,
one of our bloggers at bound-
less.org, has written on this
subject. (Shes now happily
married, but it took a while)
She recommends developing
and deepening your own char-
acter traits while single, includ-
ing contentment, perseverance,
humility and spirituality. In her
own words, Getting married
and staying married isnt easy,
but solid character is a good
foundation for both.
You should also find friends
you trust who can be on the
lookout for solid, healthy
matches for you. Those who
know us and love us are the
best matchmakers, and they
can be good gatekeepers to
keep out the riffraff!
Finally, check out bound-
less.org for the wealth of great
content it offers young men
and women in your position
and mine. The bottom line is
that the desire for marriage is
natural and good, but single-
ness doesnt have to be a death
sentence in the meantime.

How is Gods forgiveness like erasable
Xerox paper? The Xerox Corpo-
ration says it has found a way to create tem-
porary images on paper that would self-erase
in 24 hours or less. The special pages theoret-
ically could be used again and again, as much
as 50 times.
SermonNews.com reported that the idea
started in the early 2000s when researchers
discovered 40 percent of printed pages are
used for a day, then thrown away. With that in
mind, Xerox decided there was a clear de-
mand for paper that could be reused, but not
recycled, on a daily basis.
The team designed paper covered with spe-
cial chemicals. Once the paper goes through
the printer, the chemicals are exposed to a
light source that causes the text on the paper
to gradually fade. It disappears completely in
16 to 24 hours, but can be quickly erased by
running it through the printer again.
In reality, all printed material is temporary.
However, we are reminded in the scriptures
that written word is not temporal, but eternal.
The Word of Lord abides forever, 1 Peter 1:25.
We are also reminded in scripture that the sins
of those who have placed their faith in Jesus
Christ has been erased forever, to be remem-
bered no more. Psalm 103:12. Thanks be to God
for His word and His mercy.

The next stage in
aging... laundry troubles
Finally, when I came to my-
self, I called close friends in the
area, explained what our
clothes looked like and they
were very gracious to retrieve
them.
But thats not the end of the
laundromat fiasco. A little over
a week ago, it was time to re-
peat the process. Once again I
took the clothes for their 45-
minute drive. This time when I
arrived at the laundromat, I was
shocked when I took the
clothes out of the car. Some-
how, on the way to Berne, the
clothes had turned into trash!
Then it hit me, I had needed
to empty some trash bags from
cleaning into a dumpster along
the way so that I could have
room in my car to move some-
thing. This time, it was even
more hard to break the grim
truth to Joyce that I had acci-
dentally thrown our bag of
clothes into a stray dumpster in
another city and had mistak-
enly saved a bag of garbage to
be washed at the laundry.
In fact, it wasnt one of the
finer days in our 42 years of
marriage, but the ability to air
our dirty laundry and still have
a nice dinner together that
Several months ago, our
washing machine took its
final spin before bowing out
of service to us. Just prior to
that, I had made the decision
to start airing out our laundry
at a laundromat in Berne,
Ind., where I work for the
local newspaper several days
a week.
The big decision came
when I noticed that the steps
to our basement decided to
start growing and seemed
taller each time I carried the
clothes up and down the
stairs.
So once or twice a week, I
tote a garbage bag full of
clothes to the car for the 38-
mile drive to Berne.
One evening when I arrived
home from such a task, Joyce
and I decided to go out for sup-
per. Casually, she said to me,
Ill need the laundry because
the clothes I want to wear
tonight are in there.
I walked to the car, opened
the back door, and saw a heart-
sickening sight. There was no
bag of clothes in the car. Sud-
denly it hit me. I had put
clothes into the washer, gone to
the newspaper office to write a
story, returned and put the
clothes in the dryer, went back
to write another story and then
drove the 38-mile trek back to
Paulding County for the
evening.
The realization that the
clothes were still in a dryer in
Berne was very disheartening.
It was even more difficult try-
ing to explain to Joyce that her
outfit for the even was still
tucked in a laundromat 38
miles away.
evening was a positive sign.
All of this has reminded me
of a comedy radio program
from my childhood, Fibber
McGee and Molly. Now, as I
approach my 65th birthday, I
have gained a keener under-
standing of Fibber McGees
problems than I had realized at
that time.
In fact, one program comes
to mind that illustrates the
aging problem of twisting our
language around. In that partic-
ular episode, someone called
and asked for Molly.
Oh, shes out in the clothes-
line hanging up the backyard,
he replied.
Or, my version these days,
Im on the way to the laun-
dromat to wash my garbage.

the response is overwhelm-
ingly refreshing. She says, I
love the challenge and I love
the problem solving aspect of
helping others.
She goes on to say that she
understands that times are hard,
but she wants to help busi-
nesses pull through these diffi-
cult times.
Owner Anne Thomas has
over eight years experience in
collection and the judgment re-
covery industry. While she is
very determined to collect pay-
ments on overdue invoices, she
also respects and has compas-
sion for every individual she
calls on.
Her communication skills
enable her to establish effective
payment plans and in return,
businesses start recovering
some of their losses.
Thomas is also very knowl-
edgeable and is willing to sit
down and consult area busi-
nesses. If your business has
been struggling with habitually
slow paying customers or
clients that have not made pay-
ments after several attempts to
collect, see me, said Thomas.
Account information will be
kept confidential; clients will
be treated with dignity and re-
spect.

Ohioans encouraged to renew
2013 boat registrations online
COLUMBUS Approximately one-third of
Ohios watercraft registrations will expire on
March 1, according to the Ohio Department of
Natural Resources (ODNR). Ohioans may
conveniently register watercraft online,
through the mail or in person.
Ohio watercraft registrations are valid for
three years. In 2012, Ohio had 432,817 regis-
tered watercraft. The ODNR Division of Wa-
tercraft processed a record 19,570 registration
renewals online in 2012, up from the 16,635
registration e-renewals processed in 2011.
The online renewal process may be utilized
24 hours a day, seven days a week through
Sept. 30 at ohiodnr.com/watercraft.
Once the boat owners transaction is suc-
cessfully completed, a valid boat registration
and decals will be sent in the mail within 10
days. The ODNR Division of Watercraft en-
courages boat owners to use the online regis-
tration renewal system if they are not making
any changes to boat information included in
their registration.
Owner information, such as a mailing ad-
dress, may be changed when using the online
watercraft registration renewal process. Mul-
tiple boat registrations may be renewed online
in one transaction. These secure renewal trans-
actions require the use of a valid MasterCard
or Visa credit card in addition to an ODNR Di-
vision of Watercraft assigned boat registration
personal identification number.
Ohio boat owners also may renew their wa-
tercraft registrations by mail through June 30,
if they have no changes to information in-
cluded on their registration, including owner
information. Ohioans also may renew water-
craft registrations in person when visiting a
watercraft registration agent.
