Denise Gebers/Paulding County Progress
Jano and his handler, Deputy Gary Deitrick, have been at work four months
on the road for the Paulding County Sheriffs office. Their services have includ-
ed vehicles searches, locker searches, demonstrations to the public and track-
ing individuals.

Sheriffs K9 unit proving to be an asset
By DENISE GEBERS
Progress staff writer
PAULDING For the past three
months, the team of Deputy Gary
Deitrick and Jano have been patrolling
the roads in Paulding County on be-
half of the sheriffs office.
Their services have been varied and
valuable.
From Jan. 14 through April 1, 20 ve-
hicles had been searched for contra-
band with six found to contain drugs.
All six resulted in charges to individu-
als, two of which were taken directly
to jail.
Methamphetamine, cocaine and
marijuana were the drugs discovered
in the vehicles.
Additionally, Jano alerted to four
other vehicles. Although no drugs
were found in any of these, Deitrick
said the occupants of each confirmed
drugs had been in the vehicles in the
recent past.
School locker searches have been
conducted at six locations. Four of
these were out of the county.
According to Deputy Deitrick school
officials handle the situation should an
alert be made.
Twice the pair has provided tracking
of individuals. One time they searched
for a subject who ran from an officer.
A coat was located, but the man was
not. It is believed he got a ride from
someone.
The other occasion involved a man
who ran from an Ohio State Highway
Patrol trooper following a vehicle pur-
suit. This man was not found either,
and is also thought to have been
picked up by another person.
Nine demonstrations have been pre-
sented for schools, 4-H groups and
civic organizations around the county.
These have been very well received
with the pair getting numerous com-
pliments.
Jano and Deputy Deitrick continue
monthly training in Fort Wayne at the
academy and daily training at home.
They are looking forward to addition-
al training in May. There will be a
two-day seminar in Wauseon.
Jano has been introduced to
Paulding County Sheriff offices
Special Response Team because
Deputy Deitrick is a component of the
team. Jano has been included in recent
monthly training events.
In a recent report to the county com-
missioners, County Court Judge
Suzanne Rister offered her praise of
the new K9 unit.
Sheriff Jason Landers is pleased
with the addition of a K-9 unit to his
office.
K9 Jano has been a fabulous addi-
tion to this office, he said. The abil-
ity to have this resource available to
law enforcement within minutes is
fantastic.
Jano is causing quite a stir in the
drug community, the Sheriff contin-
ued. I am receiving information that
the drug users and dealers are trying to
figure out how to circumvent the sys-
tem so our K9 will not detect their
product. My response to that is
Fabulous!
I want to make their tax-free busi-
ness more difficult. I want the people
peddling dope through Paulding
County to know we are watching them
and we will catch them, he contin-
ued.
I have an energetic crew working
the streets aggressively right now and
the taxpayers should be proud. When I
can afford to add a second K9 to our
team, I certainly will, Sheriff Landers
concluded.
Donations are still being accepted
for Janos training and care.

OAKWOOD Again Monday at Oakwood
Village Council, there was considerable concern re-
garding filling the council seats vacated by Todd
Danglers resignation and the passing of
Councilwoman Vicki Long. Councilman Beau
Leatherman was absent, so a meeting could not be
held due to a lack of a quorum.
However, before the meeting started, Mayor
Erhard Bud Henke appointed Kelly Tumblin and
swore her into the council seat being vacated by
Dangler. At the last council meeting, council agreed
to invite Tumblin to the council meeting on April 28
to discuss the possibilities of her serving out the re-
mainder of Danglers term on council. Since there
was no quorum, Mayor Henke chose to appoint
Tumblin instead of having her elected by vote of
council. Tumblin will be serving out Todd Danglers
remaining term.
Since he now had a quorum, Mayor Henke start-
ed the regular council meeting by reading the fol-
lowing remarks to memorialize the passing of
Councilwoman Vicky Long:
We wish to make special note of the passing of
our council member, Vicky Long. She spent many
years with Oakwood EMS and a dedication to do all
she could for those in need. The same desire was part
of her everyday life and her time on council. She
served well with her questions and then seeking de-
cisions that would best serve the community she was
Oakwood Council remembers late
councilwoman; welcomes new member
there is a different way to
look at certain situations,
observed Landers, who said
his department was deeply
impressed with the informa-
tion they had been presented.
If we have a noncompli-
ant individual who is not fol-
lowing orders, there is a
whole different approach
that must be considered if
the person is autistic, said
Landers. It was mandatory
for every officer and full-
time staff person to go. The
feedback we received was
very different.
A personal presenter
gave us perspective of what
someone who is autistic
goes through in an appre-
hending situation, added
Landers.

including Parents and fam-
ily members dealing with

At a recent county semi-
nar, local law enforcement
officials were given infor-
mation to assist them in
dealing with those who have
autistic tendencies.
Following the meeting,
Paulding County Sheriff
Jason Landers said that it
was very helpful to be able
to identify potential charac-
teristics of those who are
autistic as versus those who
are noncompliant.
After we met with Cathy
(Ruiz, parent mentor,

Council President Melissa
Figert and Mayor Henke will
be meeting with a company
that supplies, installs, removes
and stores Christmas decora-
tions at 6 p.m. May 15 in the

Bob Burkley from Payne
extended an invitation to
council to support him in his
running for Paulding County

with Autism Spectrum
Disorders and developmental
disabilities are seven times
more likely to come in contact
with law enforcement than a
member of the general popu-
lation. She referred to one
autistic individual who police
arrested because they thought
he was drunk, and he hadnt
disclosed his autism.
People who are autistic,
said Ruiz, have a difficult time
understanding and using lan-
guage, relating to people,
events and objects in the envi-
ronment and dealing with sen-
sory stimuli such as pain,
hearing, smell and taste. They
also bear the characteristic of
repetitive behaviors.
They may also be nonver-
bal, have limited speech and
difficulty expressing needs, if
verbal, repeats verbatim
words and phrases of others
(echolalia), talk to themselves
or no one in particular, have
trouble with correct volume or
intonation, avoidance of eye
contact and flee from officers
or violate others personal
space.
Ruiz noted that autistic in-
dividuals may also become
quickly upset with changes in
routine, lack fear of real dan-
ger, are unable to report pain,
avoid or be highly sensitive to
touch and have sustained,
repetitive actions such as
rocking back and forth.
Other possible characteris-
tics include covering their ears
or eyes and looking away, dis-
playing clumsiness, toe-walk-
ing or having difficulty run-
ning, displaying fascination
with and attracted to water
and being attracted to reflec-
tions and shiny objects.
Landers said that the safety
training helped officers and
himself have a deeper under-
standing of certain situations
and responses.
Ruiz presented the sheriff
department with a DVD for
further training of how to
react in meeting a person with
autism.
This DVD is designed to
help officers to keep in mind
how to react when they come
into mind with an autistic in-
dividual, said Ruiz.
Landers said that he plans
to use the DVD for viewing
and discussion with officers.

BE MISSED!
Oakwood resident Brent
Meeker was in attendance at
the meeting to observe the
functions of council and will
possibly be a contender to fill
the spot created by Longs
passing.
Police Chief Mark Figert
reported the following calls
received and cleared for the
month of March: unclassified
criminal complaint (3), do-
mestic (1), theft (2), child
abuse (1), custody dispute (1),
suspicious person (1) and fire
(1). Ten complaints were re-
ported and 10 cleared for the
month.
Figert reported that the
Oakwood EMS is missing
some daytime runs due to a
lack of personnel. Figert also
noted that he had attended a
recent Paulding County EMS
meeting to get some assis-
tance and is in communication
with Paulding County
Hospital personnel regarding
this situation.
At their last meeting,
Mayor Henke informed coun-
cil that there was a problem
with PERS regarding council
being paid on a per meeting
basis. Council accepted the
proposed change of a yearly
salary of $1,200 per year
payable monthly. This would
be the same amount just being
paid in a different manner.
In regards to this informa-
tion council unanimously sus-
pended the rules, declared an
emergency and passed
Ordinance 14-06 regarding
this new pay schedule.
Village administrator John
Keyes told council that the
park cleanup is almost com-
plete and that he had repaired
a sewer check valve and
blockage. Keyes noted that
the blockage was caused by
people flushing items into the

Members of the Special Response Team (SRT) of the Paulding County Sheriffs Office conducted training Saturday, April 26 at
the Antwerp School. Their day consisted of reviewing first aid procedures, handling tactical situations and building clearing. On-
duty Antwerp officers even stopped by for a while and were worked into a couple of scenarios, once portraying bad guys. The
eight-man team was also joined by several deputies who arent currently part of the team. Training is usually held monthly in a
three- or four hour-block of time. Here the team has a suspect pinned down in the school front entry as he holds a hostage.

Early Monday afternoon, April
28, a sinkhole opened at the in-
tersection of two alleys behind
the post office in Paulding when
a motorist drove through the
alley. The front left tire dropped
into the sinkhole, requiring a
tow truck to pull it free. The driv-
er, Kay Langham of Paulding,
was not injured. It was not be-
lieved there was damage to the
car. The area around the hole
was barricaded by the Village of
Paulding. On Tuesday morning,
Mayor Greg White said that
cause of the hole remains un-
known, but it has been filled and
packed down. White noted that
if utility workers suspect the
problem is related to last years
sewer separation project he is
sure that the project engineer
would have been contacted to
inspect the area.

The Amish Cook
By: Lovina Eicher
(Good Friday). The Amish
children wont go as Good Fri-
day is an Amish holiday in this
community. The half day is to
make up one of the missed
days due to the bad weather
this winter. Our five school-age
children went back to school
Monday after a week home
from spring break.
Daughter Susans hands
seem to be healing gradually.
She was moved to another job
which she greatly appreciated.
She is feeling better every day
and hopefully it will all be
healed soon.
The farmers down the road
are planting their fields. It
looks like they might be plant-
ing potatoes. Timothys (Eliza-
beths friend) third mare
delivered a foal on Sunday
night. He now has four foals at
his place as Susans pony
Roxie and her foal are there,
too. We want to go see the four
new foals sometime. Theyre
always so frisky and full of life.
We are in the process of get-
ting a permit accepted to build
on a ramp to the house. Loretta
will be so glad for it. I would
like to thank all you readers for
youre support you have given.
It is appreciated very much.
Joe would also like to get
some sidewalks made to the
house before church services
are held here. It will help a lot
to keep dirt from getting
dragged in.
My rhubarb and horseradish
are peeping through. The tulips
It is turning out to be a nice,
sunny day. The temperature is
almost 40. We awoke one
morning this week with the
ground all covered with snow.
It stayed cold for a few days
with the temperature going
down to 22 one night.
My husband Joe and the
boys planted 30-40 pounds of
potatoes on Saturday. Joe tilled
all the gardens but I havent
had a chance to plant anything.
I would like to plant peas,
radishes, lettuce, and onions.
At least a little of each so we
have some ready earlier. That
depends on the weather, I
guess.
Sister Emma and her daugh-
ters came yesterday to assist
daughter Verena and I with
cleaning for our upcoming
church services. Walls and ceil-
ings were washed off, furniture
cleaned, windows cleaned, cur-
tains washed, etc. I thought we
really accomplished a lot. Last
week the girls and I cleaned the
master bedroom and bath.
Everything seems to be getting
done on schedule.
Saturday the children raked
most of the yard. It still needs
to be raked in some areas. It
looks like dandelion greens are
popping through. I hope to go
look for some today. The chil-
dren want to color eggs for
Easter so dandelion salad will
be a good way to use up some
of those colored eggs.
The school planned a half
day school for tomorrow
are looking hearty, too. Im
watching to see when the as-
paragus pops also. I love
spring!
After a long winter it will be
even more special. God has
created a wonderful world.
How often do we take all our
needs for granted? Do we ap-
preciate our blessings enough?
I read a saying recently that
said what if God only gave
you tomorrow for what you
prayed for today. How true to
life, people tend to get so busy
they truly miss the purpose we
were put on this earth to begin
with. I hope everyone had a
very blessed Easter.

Clues to a tragic
prom night
Dear Editor,
While serving in the U.S.
Air Force, one of my duties
was to teach vehicle operators
how to report accidents. One
spring, we used a car that had
been in a recent accident. Pay-
ing attention to the clues left
behind, you could piece to-
gether the final, tragic story,
which brought this car and its
occupants to its final ride.
The front end of the car was
smashed, indicating a head on
collision. There were no paint
transfers, suggesting that this
most probably was a single-
car accident this vehicle
crashed into a stationary ob-
ject.
The windshield was
smashed from within, on the
passengers side. This indi-
cated that the passenger was
probably not wearing a seat-
belt, and her head or face
smashed into the windshield
with such force sufficient to
smash it, and most probably
her face as well. This person
was most certainly a girl, be-
cause I found a wilted corsage
on the floor this had been a
prom-night crash.
The girls date, most likely
drove, but he suffered great
injury, too. The steering wheel
was broken and bent back-
wards, from the force of the
young mans chest slamming
into it.
The drivers seat was
snapped forward, indicating
there were passengers in the
rear seats. Most likely two
couples rode in this car four
friends, meaning to enjoy that
special night together, but
something went terribly
wrong.
The passengers in the back
seat did not wear their seat-
belts, either. At least one was
thrown forward with enough
force to break the drivers
seat, multiplying the force by
which the driver crushed the
steering wheel with his chest.
Then I found the cause of
this tragedy. I found the evi-
dence pointing to the fatal
choice of these couples the
choice, which turned what
would be a great, memorable
prom night, into an unforget-
table night of pain, regret and
tragedy. Littering the floor
were several empty beer cans.
Because of their choices,
four young friends suffered
injury or worse; their plans for
the future were postponed or
ended; their friends suffered
because of their friends pain
or death; and the families of
the four suffered through the
surgery, rehabilitation, or fu-
nerals of their children, broth-
ers or sisters.
As prom season ap-
proaches, choose wisely the
hopes for a great, memorable
prom, by the many people in
your life, depends on you.

Lets keep the
county library
system strong
Dear Editor,
In 1999, the Oakwood Li-
brary Association approached
the director of our county li-
brary to ascertain whether or
not our volunteer branch
could join the county system.
This would provide better
funding and a brighter future
for library service in the vil-
lage of Oakwood. The Board
of Trustees of the Paulding
County Carnegie Library said
yes to our request and our
small library became the third
branch of the county library
system.
In 2000, the Oakwood
Branch Library opened in a
refurbished house next
door to the restaurant. Now,
not only did children and cit-
izens of all ages have access
to books, but also maga-
zines, movies, computers
and online resources, pro-
grams, storytimes and educa-
tional events.
In 2007, the Oakwood
Branch opened up in a new
location donated by the
Cooper family. We were hon-
ored for the board of trustees
to name the library after our
family, The Cooper Commu-
nity Library, but it is still a
branch of the county library
system.
Although we had the oppor-
tunity to donate a building
as did a family in Payne for
the Payne Branch Library
the library is entirely funded
through the county library
system, which includes all
staffing, books, computers,
movies, magazines, newspa-
pers, etc. The county library
system relies on state fund-
ing and the countywide levy
which makes up over 50%
of the librarys revenue.
The Oakwood Library As-
sociation remains an integral
part of this partnership by
maintaining the physical
building in which the library
is housed and raising funds
to help support program-
ming and special events.
The renewal of the county
library levy is on the May 6
primary ballot. It is a re-
newal of an existing levy ap-
proved by voters in 2009.
There will be no new tax and
no increase.
We ask you to join us in
supporting our Paulding
County Carnegie Library
system by voting for the
library levy. Lets keep our
library system strong, so cit-
izens of all ages throughout
Paulding County can enjoy
free access to books, movies,
computers, programs and
other worthwhile events.

and families

We love our
libraries
Dear Editor,
Our names are Columbia
and Kennedy. We are twins
and 4 years old. We want to
write to tell you about how
much we love the library!
Every week, we go to the
Bookmobile when it comes
to our town of Briceton. We
love talking to Tawnya and
Kathy! They always have
fun activities for us to do on
the book bus.
We also love going to the
big library and seeing our
friend, Sara, in the kids de-
partment. They have a lot of
fun dress up clothes for us to
pretend in. We also love
picking out books and
movies to take home. Its a
good place to get new
movies for FREE!
And finally our favorite li-
brary! OAKWOOD! We
love playing with all the
puzzles and on the comput-
ers that are just for little ones
like us. Lots of kids our own
age come in to play. The
candy machine is pretty
cool, too!
The libraries are very im-
portant to us and we look
forward to them every week.
We are able to get a lot of
books, movies, and CDS
every week for FREE!
Please vote in favor of the li-
brary levy so we can keep
enjoying our libraries.

Library levy: an
example of
runaway spending
Dear Editor,
I have here some informa-
tion I would like to share with
the taxpayers of Paulding
County. The dollar figures I
show here were obtained from
the Paulding County auditor
and the Paulding County Li-
brary. If you doubt any figure
shown here, you can visit the
county auditor and/or the
Paulding County Library for
confirmation.
From the auditor: Total ap-
propriations for the library for
2014 = $1,346,810.73. Of this
total salaries and benefits are
$843,400. Paulding County
had an estimated population in
2012 of 19,125. Van Wert
County had an estimated popu-
lation in 2011 of 28,601. The
total salaries and benefits for
Van Wert County for 2014 are
$514,000.
From the fiscal officer of the
library: $186,672.42 equals the
total combined compensation
(wages plus benefits) for the
two highest paid positions at
the library. I am not going to
list all of the positions and the
total compensation paid for
each, but here are a couple
more examples: Total compen-
sation (wages plus benefits) for
the storyteller is $40,700.90.
Total compensation (wages
plus benefits) for the Bookmo-
bile manager is $33,232.66
and total compensation (wages
plus benefits) for the Bookmo-
bile driver is $33,232.66.
Now keep in mind that only
six counties in Ohio out of the
88 counties have a smaller
population than Paulding
County (based on 2010 Cen-
sus).
The tax levy, if approved,
would cost the property own-
ers of Paulding County
$694,576.94 per year for the
next five years. If not ap-
proved, this would still leave
the Paulding County Library
with $652,233.10 annually to
run the library and the vast ma-
jority of this is tax dollars from
the state, which is our tax dol-
lars also.
I think this is an excellent
example of Washington, D.C.-
type of spending taking place
right here in Paulding County.
All of this money comes from
Paulding County taxpayers.
Primary elections usually
have a low voter turnout com-
pared to general elections. Be
sure to vote in the Primary this
year or this levy will pass. If
this tax levy passes, at least the
voters cant say that they were
not informed.
Also, the Paulding library
had a carryover at the end of
2013 of $1,315,158.11. They
have a goal of a $2.6 million
reserve.
You have a chance on May
6 to put a stop to this kind of
runaway spending. If you
dont take the time to vote,
dont complain about your tax
bill.
I feel a much better use of
the 2.17-mill levy would be to
use it to reopen our Paulding
County Jail and quit paying
Putnam County to house our
inmates.

Library is the
premier asset
of our county
Dear Editor,
The John Paulding Histori-
cal Society has partnered with
the Paulding County Carnegie
Library since its establishment
in 1977. The libraries assis-
tance throughout the years has
helped to make the JPHS mu-
seum what it is today.
Paulding Countys library
system is the premier asset of
our county. I challenge anyone
to point to an agency that pro-
vides more education, commu-
nity service, cultural
programming, and serves
100% of the population.
The library levy supports
five full-service locations in
Paulding County providing the
residents with a better quality
of life in addition to hourly
wage jobs. Each branch em-
ploys two people. A small rural
town with a library is the
thread that weaves the fabric of
our community.
Our library board, which is
appointed by our judge of
common pleas, has historically
consisted of our countys most
respectable citizens of highest
of integrity, representing all
areas of our county. They have
been good stewards of our tax
payer money by investing to
provide for the libraries future.
To ensure that generations to
come will enjoy and treasure
our historical Paulding County
Carnegie Library system.
And while other services
and amenities in Paulding
County have been declining,
our libraries have continued to
improve their quality of serv-
ice with new and free pro-
grams, such as being able to
check out DVDs to save our
family dollars while still being
able to watch a popular movie.
Those who cannot afford a
computer of their own come to
the library to check e-mail,
apply for jobs, fill out govern-
ment forms, etc.
Our library director has not
only maintained the integrity
of our historical building by
improving it inside and out,
but has brought programs and
events to our county that we
would otherwise not have
available to us. From nation-
ally known authors to one of
the last known Holocaust sur-
vivors in Indiana, our library
has consistently sponsored
high-quality programs.
Susan Hill Pieper is not
just a county librarian. She
brings with her over 30 years
of experience. She is also the
marketing director for our li-
braries and their communities.
She administers our librarys
web, which is a wonderful re-
source and includes informa-
tion about the countys history,
notable citizens and other
unique features. She developed
one of the states most undeni-
ably effective community out-
reach programs, which is our
Bookmobile. Something
Paulding County should be
very proud of!
I believe you get what you
pay for and I say job well
done!

Paulding
Branch is busy
with kids events
Dear Editor,
This has been a busy school
year at the Cooper Commu-
nity Branch of the Paulding
County Carnegie Library. We
were able to offer a variety of
clubs and classes which in-
cluded childrens cooking
classes, Fairy Tale Book Club
for children in first grade,
Pizza Adventures for children
in second and third grades and
Root Beer Float Club for chil-
dren in fourth and fifth grades.
In addition to the book
clubs, we have had a special
time for infants to 2 years old
and of course, Preschool
Story Time. The clubs and
story times were well at-
tended.
We watched as the children
in the book clubs became ex-
cited about books and blos-
somed into young readers.
The babies and toddlers en-
joyed singing, dancing, fin-
gerplays, puppets, crafts, fun
stories and we must not forget
the weekly bag of popcorn.
Grandmas, grandpas, aunts,
babysitters and parents
brought their little ones to the
weekly and monthly pro-
grams. We are a very busy
branch of the Paulding
County Carnegie Library sys-
tem.

What book club
means to me
Dear Editor,
The Paulding County
Carnegie Library, Cooper
Community Branch, means to
me Root Beer Float Book
Club, books and learning. At

Five-year library
levy means no
new taxes
Dear Editor:
We would like to clarify a
few issues and share facts
about the upcoming library
levy on May 6:
This levy is a RENEWAL
of an existing library levy that
is set to expire on December
31, 2014.
This levy is for a FIVE-
YEAR period and, if ap-
proved, will run from January
1, 2015-December 31, 2019.
There is NO INCREASE
for this levy and NO NEW
TAXES.
The library levy makes up
over 50% of the library rev-
enue.
If the levy fails to pass,
the library will receive zero
funds from the wind farms.
The 2014 State of Ohio
Public Library Fund (PLF) is
expected to be another 4%
lower than 2013. With infla-
tion at 4%, it is an expected net
8% decrease.
The Paulding County
Carnegie Library is NOT
funded by the county budget.
Eighty percent of Pauld-
ing County residents have li-
brary cards.
A taxpayer with a home
valued at $100,000 is now
paying less than 21 cents a day
for the library. This will remain
the same. Again, NO NEW
TAX.
In 2013, over 8,600 peo-
ple attended programs spon-
sored by our libraries. Of that
number, over 6,700 were chil-
dren.
In 2013, over 102,000 vis-
its to our libraries, and over
162,000 items were borrowed.
The library provides great
value. Patrons, who visit their
public library regularly save
hundreds of dollars a year by
not having to purchase books,
subscribe to magazines, pur-
chase music CDs or rent
movies.
If persons cannot make it
to the library, they can still bor-
row eBooks and access in-
formative and educational
eResources online via the li-
brarys webpage from the
comfort of their home.
The library cannot, by
law, charge for books. The li-
brary is known as a Free Pub-
lic Library and provides
resources for every man,
woman and child in the
county. The library serves
100% of the population.
The library system pro-
vides superior library service
to all citizens of Paulding
County through the main his-
toric Carnegie library located
in the village of Paulding;
through branch libraries in the
villages of Antwerp, Oakwood
and Payne; and through a
Bookmobile that serves the un-
reached in the county.
We encourage everyone to
vote in the primary and do so
based on the facts. We hope
you visit your award-win-
ning libraries soon!

Crash injures two
PAULDING Two people were injured in a two-vehicle
crash at Roads 87 and 176 northwest of Paulding on Monday,
April 21.
According to the Van Wert Post of the Ohio Highway Patrol,
the incident occurred at 4:25 p.m. A 2001 Ford Escape driven
by Rylee S. Carlisle, 21, of Paulding, was northbound on Road
87. At the same time, a 2010 Chevrolet Malibu driven by Dave

Troopers said Carlisle failed to yield for a posted stop sign and
collided with Brummett.
Carlisles vehicle went off the west side of the roadway and
struck a culvert and a ditch.
Brummett and his passenger, Andrea M. Minnich, 42, of
Hicksville, sustained non-incapacitating injuries and were

Carlisle was cited for stop sign violation.
Both vehicles had disabling damage and were towed from

Xerox services approved
to scan deed records
By JIM LANGHAM
Feature Writer
PAULDING The Paulding County commissioners have ap-
proved the hiring of Xerox services to scan 247 volumes of county
deeds dating back to 1823 for computer availability.
County Recorder Carol Temple said that her office has been
placing records on computer access since 1990.
When residents come into the office and want a recorded deed
from 1990 to the present, we look it up on the computer, said
Temple.
The total cost of the service is $67,418. The service will be pro-
vided by the Xerox Corporations ACS Enterprise Solutions and
will involve scanning all of the heavy bound books from 1823 to
1990.
Currently, lawyers and title checkers and others who wish in-
formation prior to 1990 are forced to bring out the bound books
and look up their information, Temple said.
The current cost of seeking a copy of a record, a one- or two-
page document that confers with standardization is $28, said Tem-
ple. Of that amount, Temple sets back $4 into a fund to assist in
financing the records while $14 goes to the Ohio House Trust
Fund. The remaining $10 goes into the county general fund.
Digitizing the records will preserve them, said Temple. It is
very expensive to replace bound books. Digitizing will preserve
167 years of records forever.
Temple said that had her office decided to do the work them-
selves, it would have cost $39,000 for the purchase of the special-
ized scanner plus two and a half years of manpower to carry out
the project.
Temple said that she has built funding in a set-aside fund to go
towards the purchase of the service.
It can all be used for computerization, said Temple. There
are no direct tax dollars involved.

puter can do so by looking up www.landrecords.com, then click-
ing on Ohio and then selecting Paulding County.

Commissioners Journal
Commissioners Journal April 7, 2014
This 7th day of April, 2014, the Board of
County Commissioners met in regular session
with the following members present: Tony Zart-
man, Roy Klopfenstein, Fred Pieper and Nola
Ginter, Clerk.
MEETING NOTES OF APPOINTMENTS
Jim Langham, Paulding Progress, met with
the Commissioners to discuss the County emer-
gency radio system. Commissioner Fred Pieper
noted the current system has some deficiencies
when it comes to meeting the needs of the Sher-
iffs Office and some of the Countys first re-
sponders.
The most serious deficiency is there are sev-
eral areas in the County where Sheriffs deputies
and some first responders cannot talk back and
forth to the Sheriffs Office dispatch. Commis-
sioner Pieper commented the Sheriff is con-
cerned for the safety of his deputies, the Countys
first responders, and the residents of Paulding
County.
In an effort to make communication better on
a countywide basis, the Commissioners recently
applied to the FCC, hoping to re-assign one of
the Countys current EMA tower frequencies to
the Sheriffs Office. According to Mr. Pieper, the
process of re-assigning or acquiring a new fre-
quency has to go through the FCC.
Another alternative is for the Sheriffs Office
to convert to MARCS (Multi-Agency Radio
Communication System). The State of Ohio in-
troduced MARCS several years ago. It was re-
cently updated and offers the latest technology
in inoperability. Paulding County has a MARCS
tower already in place.
Although MARCS would be highly effective,
the prohibitive factor is the cost of the radios and
the monthly user fee attached to each radio.
Grant dollars may be available to purchase ra-
dios. Commissioner Pieper noted there are a cou-
ple of House Bills being considered that would
utilize other sources for the user fee, or even
eliminate it.
Commissioner Pieper, Sheriff Landers, and
Brion Hanenkratt (E-911 Coordinator) have been
working together on this project.
Keith and Gary Derck met with the Commis-
sioners to discuss improvements they feel are in
order to the county-owned farm land located
north of US 24.
Gary Derck presented results from soil testing
and copies of aerial maps of the ground for the
Commissioners reference. The Dercks sug-
gested a five-year lime application schedule to
improve the effectiveness of fertilizers and her-
bicides. There is also a driveway into the field
that needs to be widened.
The Commissioners agreed maintenance and
improvements need to be made. They will pres-
ent the cash rent contract to the County Prosecu-
tor for amendment possibilities. The Engineers
Office could recommend proper procedure on
the driveway.
The Dercks had one last concern regarding is-
sues with the lane along one side of the field.
People going back to fish have abused the lane,
traveling on it while too wet, causing ruts. The
lane has also gotten too wide, consuming part of
the field. The Commissioners will speak to the
Engineers Office regarding signage that could
be posted at the site.
Randy Shaffer, EMA Director, met with the
Commissioners on his regularly scheduled day.
He reported the EMA vehicle is on its last leg.
The vehicle has 202,000 miles on it and has al-
ready had the motor replaced.
Mr. Shaffer noted he had recently submitted
the first quarter 2014 paperwork with the state
reimbursement office. He reported the state in-
dicated receipt on April 5 and are processing it.
Commissioner Zartman asked Mr. Shaffer if
he had the documentation supporting the sub-
mission of the third and fourth quarter state re-
imbursement. Mr. Shaffer admitted that he
thought he had submitted the paperwork, but
could not find his copies. Mr. Zartman asked that
he accomplish that by next Monday to prevent
disciplinary action. Mr. Shaffer asked that the
Commissioners Office keep copies of the in-
voice/bill, voucher, and warrant to facilitate send-
ing them on to the state.
Mr. Shaffer then commented the Auglaize
Township will be installing a weather siren. They
plan to apply for CDBG dollars to help cover the
cost.
Commissioner Klopfenstein requested a list
of clerical duties Mr. Shaffer was asked to create.
Mr. Shaffer verbally responded by saying he
needed assistance in timely EMPG grant reim-
bursement requests, in keeping and updating the
resource manual, and in updating lists of various
agency contact information. Mr. Shaffer reported
his new computer has been delivered; however,
he has not had the time to get it up and running.
The Commissioners asked Mr. Shaffer what
options he would like in a vehicle. He said he
would like to have a fuel efficient 4-wheel drive
with towing capabilities.
Mr. Shaffer then updated the Commissioners
on the LEPC training exercise, which is tenta-
tively scheduled in May at the Mercer/Landmark
elevator in Payne. He reported working with Ben
Snyder from the Mercer/Landmark office in
Celina to secure a date and time.
Mr. Shaffer informed the Commissioners he
is planning a tornado drill sometime this spring.
The Commissioners assured Mr. Shaffer they are
working on a clerical assistant for the EMA of-
fice.
Bill Wiles and Gene Weidenhamer, Auglaize
Township trustees Mr. Wiles reported Auglaize
Township is currently working toward installing
a new weather siren at the park across from the
Cabbage Patch. He noted the new siren will
cover 445 houses in Auglaize Township and will
cost in the neighborhood of $21,780. The Com-
missioners suggested Mr. Wiles and Mr. Weiden-
hamer contact the Engineers Office for
assistance in deciding the location of the siren.
Mr. Wiles noted they have been working with
Nikki Warnke of Maumee Valley Planning Or-
ganization in completing the application for
CDBG dollars to assist with the purchase of the
siren. Both trustees agreed the township could
help fund the project, just not at 100% of the cost.
They then reported the condition of their
township roads isnt too bad, considering the
hard winter conditions. Auglaize Township runs
two snow trucks and the fuel bill for January
alone was $1,800. Mr. Wiles commented he was
pleasantly surprised at the fairly good condition
of the roads, despite the repeated abuse from
snow removal efforts.
Aaron Timm, Engineers Office, reported his
crew will be assisting the Probate/Juvenile Court
in removing old office furniture tomorrow. The
Commissioners mentioned the issues discussed
at their earlier meeting with Keith and Gary
Derck.
Mr. Timm recommended closing the county
parking lot beginning Sunday, April 13, until fur-
ther notice as the drainage project will begin.
Corey Walker, Defiance-Paulding County
Consolidated JFS, updated the Commissioners
on the progress at the new Paulding location. He
hopes to be able to move the office within the
next couple of weeks.
Ginter, Clerk.
EXECUTIVE SESSION
A motion was made by Mr. Roy Klopfenstein
to go into executive session at 8:04 a.m. with the
Paulding County Prosecutor to discuss legal mat-
ters. The motion was seconded by Mr. Fred
Pieper. All members voting yea.
At 8:33 a.m. all members present agreed to
adjourn the executive session and go into regular
session.
Sheriff Jason Landers presented the 2014 Pro-
jections report for the sheriffs office. The sheriff
is projecting a deficit in the wages line item by
the end of the year; however, he is anticipating
having an overage in other line items and will
make adjustments accordingly.
He then reviewed the inmate report ending
March 31. There were an average of 24 inmates
per day in March and the average stay was 11
days. There were 59 trips made to Putnam
County transporting inmates for a total of 4,061
miles.
Sheriff Landers reported the K-9 officer has
been busy with school and 4-H presentations. He
continues to make sure his staff gets the neces-
sary training.
He noted there has been a steady increase in
inmates over the last year. This has prompted
him to work on gathering information to help de-
termine if it might be feasible to attempt opening
the jail. Knowing it would require passing an op-
erating levy, the sheriff said he would appreciate
the publics input on the matter.
Landers stated he has e-mailed other county
sheriffs regarding the radio system they use. Of
those who responded, none use a trunking sys-
tem because it is not a certified public safety sys-
tem. The sheriffs office is using the system this
week to test its reliability. The sheriff recom-
mended considering the logistics, cost and fea-
sibility of MARCS.
Landers reported the recent chiefs meeting
went well with good attendance.
The sheriff then suggested an evacuation
training session for Courthouse employees. He
also announced his staff will be participating in
a first aid training.
Jerry Zielke, Paulding County Economic De-
velopment, presented PCED board meeting min-
utes for the commissioners review. Zielke
reported he had attended a meeting at Vantage
along with educators, school curriculum coordi-
nators and local employers to discuss area em-
ployment opportunities and the skills necessary
to perform the jobs. Zielke noted several area
schools will be receiving grant dollars to pur-
chase computers for students.
He also reported he will be touring the county
with representatives from a company that pur-
chases empty buildings, revitalizes them, and
sells them. The buildings must be situated on
marketable property.
Jeff Hollis, All Trades Historical Restoration,
spoke with the commissioners via telephone with
an update on the courthouse interior painting
project, specifically the Juvenile/Probate Court
wall and ceiling. It was decided the wall would
be mudded and smoothed before painting. The
ceiling had been painted, but the paint was al-
ready chipping. Hollis agreed it would be
scraped again and repainted. Hollis requested the
ceiling be inspected by the commissioners before
painting. The commissioners agreed.
Ben and Steve Moore The tile map of the
Jacob Farm was reviewed. Ben Moore noted it
had last been tiled in 1994. Both men are ques-
tioning if the entire field was tiled at that time
and the depth of the tile. They are also requesting
improvements to the tile outlet and an access
drive.
After much discussion, the commissioners
agreed the farm ground needs some attention to
properly maintain it. The expense of the project
was discussed. The commissioners agreed to dis-
cuss amending the contract to allow for the ad-
dition of verbiage explaining distribution of the
cost for the project.
Rhonda Smalley and Bud Larimore met with
the commissioners on behalf of the local Bargain
Bin. Smalley explained the nature of the busi-
ness, which is accepting donations from the pub-
lic and then providing a retail establishment to
sell the items donated. The proceeds, Smalley
explained, go toward purchasing rehabilitation
equipment for the Paulding County Hospital.
Larimore verbalized the hospitals apprecia-
tion for all the Bargain Bin and its volunteers
have done for the hospital since its inception.
Their efforts and generosity truly benefit the en-
tire county.
Ginter, Clerk.
IN THE MATTER OF THE PAULDING
COUNTY EMA DIRECTOR
Mr. Tony Zartman moved to adopt the fol-
lowing resolution:
BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of County
Commissioners does hereby terminate the em-
ployment of Randy Shaffer as Paulding County
EMA Director effective at 11:31 p.m. on this day,
Monday, April 14, 2014.
The motion was seconded by Mr. Fred Pieper.
Randy Shaffer, EMA director Commis-
sioner Zartman began todays meeting by asking
Shaffer if he had the documentation that the third
and fourth quarter 2013 reimbursement paper-
work had been submitted. Shaffer noted the re-
ports werent due until July 10. However, the
commissioners had previously instructed Shaffer
to file the paperwork quarterly to ensure cash
flow to the EMA Fund.
Zartman noted he felt that Shaffer had misled
the commissioners and lied to support his
claimed need for clerical help.
Zartman went on to say that he felt that Mr.
Shaffer did not display the qualities of a team
player and appeared to still be upset about the re-
organization of the EMA. Zartman stated there
had been guidelines set for Shaffer that had not
been met. He also said he felt the commissioners
had been extremely lenient and had tried very
hard to move forward with Shaffer. Zartman
commented that after several months, it appeared
as though little to no improvement has been
made.
Pieper mentioned the vehicle issue, reminding
Shaffer he was asked for recommendations last
November. Shaffer reminded the commissioners
the vehicle was not in the 2013 budget, to which
Pieper said he should have provided brochures
for their consideration early in 2014.
Shaffer again brought up the issue of his re-
quest for clerical help. He feels the commission-
ers have been dragging their feet. Zartman noted
they have been waiting for Shaffer to step up
and it hasnt happened yet. He added that the
commissioners are concerned that Shaffer lacks
the organizational skills to manage an employee.
Zartman continued by stating there are obsta-
cles that just cannot be overcome.
Zartman asked the board for permission to
step down from the chairman position to allow
the vice chairman to preside.
Zartman then made the motion to dismiss
Shaffer as Paulding County EMA director.
Zartman emphasized that he has a great deal
of respect for the knowledge and experience
Shaffer displays in handling emergency situa-
tions; however, noted his lack of timely reporting
and paperwork. Shaffer was asked to return the
vehicle he is currently driving to the sheriffs of-
fice. Klopfenstein stated he will work with Shaf-
fer to gather his personal effects from the EMA
office. The EMA vehicle will be towed.
Vice Chairman Klopfenstein turned the chair-
manship back to Zartman.
Moving forward, the regional EMA director
will make sure Paulding County is covered in
case of an emergency. Paulding County also has
reciprocal agreements with Van Wert and Defi-
ance counties and can call on their EMA direc-
tors if necessary.
County Sheriff Jason Landers was advised
that all emergency calls will be forwarded to his
office until an interim EMA director can be ap-
pointed.
Aaron Timm, Engineers Office, presented
the engineers estimate for the county parking lot
paving project. The estimate included the lot and
the alley. The commissioners spoke to Harry
Weibe, Village of Paulding administrator, to dis-
cuss via conference call the elevation of the alley
and the need to grind down the old pavement be-
fore resurfacing it. This needs to be done to as-
sure the proper grade for drainage. All agreed the
alley preparatory work should be included in the
bid advertisement. Mr. Timm reported the
drainage and basin work on the parking lot was
started over the weekend.
Timm agreed to place the ad in the paper for
the lot paving project.
He also noted he had spoken to the farmers
currently cash renting the Jacob and Eaton farms
regarding some materials needed for improve-
ment projects. He seemed to think they could be
of some assistance to them.
Erika Willitzer, Paulding Chamber of Com-
merce, reports the Herb Monroe park is close to
completion. She noted they are roughly $6,000
away from having the project completed.
Willitzer hopes the park is completed by late
summer.
She then announced John Paulding Days are
scheduled for June 5-6. U.S. 127 will not be
closed for JP Days to allow truck traffic ease
in getting through town. Willitzer asked
about pitching a tent on one corner of the
courthouse lawn for the event.
Flat Rock Fall Festival is set for Sept. 19-
21. Willitzer has been working closely with
Dan Howell and the fair board and also
Aaron Timm of the engineers office to make
sure things run smoothly.
She also announced there may be an advi-
sory committee formed soon that would co-
ordinate efforts with the chamber and
Paulding County Economic Development to
market and promote Paulding County.
Chad Crosby, Engineers Office, met with
the commissioners to open the bids for the
2014 Joint Chip Seal Project.
County Engineer Travis McGarvey discussed
the impact this winter had on his budget, consid-
ering wages, supplies, equipment, etc. He was
thankful for a good supply of salt, but will have
to replenish before next winter.
Cathy Ruiz and Ashley Shepherd, Western
Buckeye Education Service Center Ruiz ex-
plained the Service Coordination program at
Western Buckeye ESC. FCSS funds the program
and the fiscal year ends June 30. Funding for
services needed through the summer months is
not guaranteed until fall. Ruiz reported WBESC
secured $10,000 last year in grant dollars for the
program. She also noted the need for services in
the summer months can be even more demand-
ing than during the school year. Ms. Ruiz pre-
sented the idea of pooling funding from local
agencies to ensure services for the summer
months. She is hopeful that the state will ac-
knowledge the need and award additional
grant dollars for the next fiscal year. Ms. Ruiz
and Ms. Shepherd will continue to work on
soliciting the funding for the program.

GOT MILK?
Last week some loose cows
in Paulding County drew
media attention as they were
spotted cavorting around and
down Oho 500. In fact, the
bovines made the Fort Wayne
TV news and drew some in-
terested onlookers as well.
Information as to how the
cows got out is quite sketchy,
but as the pictures depicted, it
was quite a sight to behold.
This got me thinking about
cows and how everyone used
to raise cows for milk and
food.
I have never been up close
and personal with a cow, ex-
cept maybe to pet one. I had
watched cows at the fair as
they chewed their cud and
switched their tails. To me a
cow was a farm animal which
produced milk and ham-
burger.
Years ago, it seemed as if
everyone had cows and
milked them by hand. If you
ask a senior citizen if they
have ever milked a cow, most
of them would affirm they
had indeed.
One day as I was working
in the activity department at a
Paulding nursing home, I
held an activity for the resi-
dents that brought back their
memories of milking a cow.
(Well, we tried to refresh that
memory.)
Plastic gloves were filled
with milk and tied at the top.
We took the milk filled
gloves to the residents and cut
out the tips of the fingers.
This resembled cow udders.
Giving each participant a
small bucket, we had a con-
test to see who could milk
the glove the quickest. It
was a fun activity and brought
back old memories of their
days of cow milking.
One interesting fact is that
it takes about 345 squirts to
produce one gallon of milk
and a single cow yields about
90 glasses of milk per day or
about 200,000 glasses of milk
per lifetime.
I always thought a cow was
a cow. I thought cows could
be either girls or boys. You
can tell I am not a cow expert,
as I just found out that all
cows are girls. The boys are
all called bulls. Like I said, I
am not a cow expert.
I remember long ago when
we used to get milk in bottles
delivered to our house. The
bottles were placed upright
and in a divided container.
Nothing tasted as good as that
cold milk from a glass bottle.
From all reports, milk was de-
livered to the homes in approx-
imately 1942, with plastic
bottles appearing in milk cool-
ers in 1964.
Cows are not the only crit-
ters that produce milk for con-
sumption. In fact, the United
States is the only country in
which cows milk is more pop-
A Penny For
Your Thoughts....

ular than milk from other
mammals.
Has anyone ever tasted
camel milk? Milk from camels
is a good staple food because it
does not curdle like cow milk.
Nomadic desert tribes across
the world and the Somali peo-
ple of Africa depend on
camels milk for their survival.
In fact, dromedary milk con-
tains six types of fatty acids
such as lanolin acid, which
helps control wrinkles and con-
dition skin tone. I wonder if
you drink it or rub it on your
wrinkles?
It is also said that camels
milk contains high levels of in-
sulin and antibodies that are
good for regulating diabetes
and other diseases.
Other milk producers in-
clude goats, donkeys, reindeer,
sheep, water buffalo, yaks,
moose, and horses.
Milk is also made from soy,
almonds and hemp.
Did you know that in some
parts of the country that a gal-
lon of milk costs more than a
gallon of gas?
If you knew everything
about cows, then maybe you
did not find all this information
useful. However, I think I may
be just about ready to try my
luck at milking.
Did you ever milk lot of
cows? Have you ever bought,
used or drunk camel milk? Let
me know and Ill give you a
Penny for Your Thoughts.

Ticks: Out for blood
By Mark Holtsberry
Education specialist
Paulding SWCD
Warmer weather is finally here and with the
rising temperatures comes the emergence of
ticks that may carry dangerous diseases, and
now are looking to feed.
People need to understand there is a risk of
getting sick from tick bites when they are out-
doors, and that there are things they can do to
keep themselves, their families and their pets
safe.
Ticks are small arachnids that hang out
along woodland edges, in woods, tall grass,
weeds and underbrush. Like mosquitoes, ticks
feed on the blood of birds, reptiles and mam-
mals, including humans and pets. In doing so,
ticks can transmit a variety of diseases, such
as rocky mountain spotted fever and lyme dis-
ease, which is rare in Ohio, but has been an in-
crease statewide in recent years. Lyme disease
is transmitted by the black legged deer tick,
whose first established population was discov-
ered in Coshocton County in 2010.
Glen Needham, an entomologist and tick
expert with Ohio State University Extension,
states, Blacklegged deer ticks have been
found in 56 counties in Ohio and are now
likely established in 26 of those counties.
Lyme disease causes flu-like symptoms
such as fatigue, fever, headache, and muscle
and joint aches. It also produces a distinctive
large circular red rash that looks like a bulls
eye. It caught early, the disease can be suc-
cessfully treated with antibiotics. Though not
known to be fatal, the disease can progress to
chronic arthritis, neurological symptoms and
cardiac problems if left untreated.
There are preventive ways to help make you
and your pets secure.
When going into wooded areas, wear long
pants and tuck them into socks, and tuck shirts
into pants, to keep ticks on the outside of
clothing where they are more easily visible.
Apply repellent containing permethrin to
pants, socks and boots and allow them to dry,
or use DEET-containing repellents with at
least 25 percent active ingredients.
Use anti-tick products on pets, ask your
veterinarian about lyme diseases vaccines for
pets where blacklegged deer ticks are found.
Ticks have to feed for more than a day be-
fore they may transmit disease. If you are in a
tick-infested area, check yourself, children and
pets daily.
If you find a tick, grasp it as close to the
skin as possible with a pair of tweezers, a com-
mercially designed tick remover or protected
thumb and finger and slowly pull the tick out.

Winning the Battle for a Generation
By Rick Jones
Defiance Area Youth for
Christ executive director
What will you do with one minute?
I was reminded in preachingtoday.com this
week of the power of one minute
A minute is a funny amount of time. Its
long enough to notice, but its too short to do
much of anything with. There are only about
five hundred thousand of them in a year. But
when you add all of humanity together, a lot
starts to happen in that lowly minute. Consider
what happens before the second hand of a
clock completes one rotation:
25 Americans will get a passport, accord-
ing to the U.S. Department of State.
58 airplanes will take off around the
world, according to the International Air Traf-
fic Association.
116 people will get married, according to
data from the United Nations.
144 people will move to a new home, ac-
cording to Gallup.
11,319 packages will be delivered by
UPS.
243,000 photos will be uploaded to Face-
book.
5,441,400 pounds of garbage will be cre-
ated, according to the World Bank.
7,150,000,000 human hearts (accord-
ing to the United States Census Bureau) will
beat 500,500,000,000 times, according to
the American Heart Association.
With regard to the gift of time the scriptures
remind us that God has set eternity in the
hearts of men ... Ecclesiastes 3:11 (NIV).
What will you do today with one minute?

By Jim Daly
QUESTION: How can we
help our son have a success-
ful prom night? Hes ex-
cited about this event, but
Im afraid he may also be a
bit naive, both about the
cost and the potential pit-
falls.
Jim: The success of prom
night begins long before the
tux is put on. You can get
things off to a good start by
sitting down with your teen
and talking about his
thoughts. In situations like
this, disappointments and let-
downs are usually the result
of overblown, unrealistic ex-
pectations. So do what you
can to help your son put
things in perspective.
Here are some other things
to consider that will help
make the experience a posi-
tive one for your teen and his
date:
Discuss a budget. Life
goes on after the prom. So do
payments for flowers, photos,
rentals, etc. Your son may be
feeling pressure to make a big
splash, and you can help re-
lieve him of that burden by
sitting down together and de-
vising a plan that will be both
economical and memorable.
Establish an itinerary.
When will the evening begin
and end? Where will dinner
be? Who will be in the car?
Whos driving? Get him to
pin down all of the specifics,
and have him communicate
the details to his dates par-
ents also. Feel free to verify
the information with a couple
of phone calls throughout the
evening.
Have a heart-to-heart talk
about sexual self-control.
Your teen should commit to
respecting both his body and
his dates. (Young ladies in
particular should be careful
about what they wear. Mod-
esty and good taste should be
the rule.)
Provide support. Let your
son know that youll be pray-
ing for a safe and enjoyable
evening. Encourage him to
call Dads All-Night Taxi
Service should plans turn
sour. Teens need to know that
youll be there for them with-
out creating a scene.
QUESTION: My hus-
band quit smoking a few
years ago. I just found out
that hes smoking again and
has been hiding it for over a
year. I want to support my
husband, but Im upset
over this. What should I
do?
Dr. Greg Smalley, vice
president, Family Ministries:
My guess is youre feeling a
lot of different emotions. Be-
fore doing anything else, Id
encourage you to sort them
out. Youre probably frus-
trated that hes back at square
one with his struggle, and
naturally, youre upset that
hes kept it from you for so
long. You have a right to ex-
pect honesty in your relation-
ship, and instead theres been
a lack of transparency. While
the foundation of trust may
not have collapsed, its suf-
fered some erosion. Repair-
ing that needs to be your
focus.
Sit down with your hus-
band for an honest conversa-
tion. Begin by expressing
your disappointment for him,
not in him, and assure him of
your love, respect and confi-
dence that hell win this bat-
tle. Convincing him of this
may alleviate some of the
shame, which may be what led
him to conceal his relapse.
Once thats been said, let
him tell you his story. Has
stress at work or home trig-
gered the urge? What made
him feel he couldnt share his
struggles and be honest with
you? After youve got a clearer
picture, move into why his ac-
tions hurt you. Dont make
smoking the issue. Hes proba-
bly more upset about that than
you. Instead let him know its
a matter of trust, and for that to
exist, you need to feel he can
confide in you. Ask if there are
obstacles to that, and what
might be done to remove those.
If the obstacles seem too big or
you need guidance working
through this challenge, please
give our counselors a call at 1-
800-232-6459. Theyre here to
help.

Star Scout Brian Holbrooke Jr. is moving brush and branches that have been cut in the trim-
ming process. This work on the service project of cleaning and clearing the cemeteries will help
Brian advance in rank.
Oakwood Troop 19 Tenderfoot Jake Rose is moving brush and branches that have been cut in
the trimming process.
Brown Township Trustee Marty Adams (left) likes to help the Scouts not only in their service
projects, but also financially. This year, Adams donated $400 to be used to provide equipment,
registration and help with Troop 19s trip to West Virginia this summer. Scoutmaster Brian Hol-
brooke accepts the contribution.
Scouting keeps on giving
By BILL SHERRY
Correspondent
OAKWOOD Last week, the wind was
brisk and cool, but as the scouts, leaders and
friends of the boys in Oakwood Boy Scout
Troop 19 worked to make the world a better
place, the setting sun and the hard work
around me emitted wonderful warm glow.
Troop 19 from Oakwood led by Scoutmas-
ter Brian Holbrooke has eighteen boys in
varying stages of the scouting process. This
evening the troop, troop leaders and friends
are cleaning up debris and trimmings from
three area cemeteries, Sherman, Blakeslee and
Auglaize. Sherman and Blakeslee cemeteries
are near Charloe and the Auglaize Cemetery
is south of Melrose.
Part of the cleanup process is to remove the
old and tattered flags from the grave sites of
the veterans. The local veterans unit will now
put new flags on each veterans grave in time
for the Memorial Day celebration. The troop
is also moving brush and branches that have
been cut in the trimming process. This trim-
ming not only removes dead trees and
branches but cuts back growth so it is safer
and easier to mow.
The work is what the Scouts call service
projects and the Scouts complete several serv-
ice projects to help them advance individually
in rank within scouting. Oakwood Troop 19
has other service projects including a stretch
of highway pickup/cleanup and assist with the
Oakwood clean up days.
Not only is Troop 19 giving to the commu-
nity by doing service projects, but Brown
Township Trustee Marty Adams likes to help
the Scouts not only in their service projects but
he helps out financially. Adams stated that in
his youth, he was a Scout and that he was a
member of Troop 19, when it was led by the
late Leland Taylor. Adams gives a donation to
Oakwood Troop 19 every year.
This year, Adams donated $400, which, ac-
cording to Scoutmaster Holbrooke, will be
used to provide scouting equipment, registra-
tion and help with Troop 19s trip to West Vir-
ginia this summer.
Music Blooms to open
chamber concert series
By DENISE GEBERS
Progress Staff Writer
PAULDING First in a series of free Friday
night concerts in the Herb Monroe Community
Park is set for May 2. Most will begin at 7 p.m.
Paulding Chamber of Commerce is hosting two
groups, Resonance Collective and Restoration for
this first concert, Music Blooms. The pair is
known for folk, country and gospel music.
Those who attend will need to bring their own
seating to the park, located off the northeast corner
of courthouse Square.
The second concert will actually be a family
music fest held in conjunction with John Paulding
Days. It will feature numerous local artists who
will not only play in the park, but also on a
portable stage at the opposite side of the square.
Music will be made at both locations from 5
p.m. until 10 p.m. each night of John Paulding
Days. Multiple bands are expected to make ap-
pearances.
Organizers are looking for blues artists to come
for a Red, White and The Blues event on July 11.
August will see a visit from Christian artist
Bekah Bradley. She will play Aug. 4. It is antici-
pated that during her show donations will be
sought for new Christmas decorations for around
the Square.
Citizens are encouraged to bring lawn chairs,
enjoy the concerts while taking in the beauty of
the new park during each of these events.
According to Erika Willitzer, director of the
chamber, the park is not yet complete but is very
usable.
She said approximately $6,000 is still needed
to complete the park project, which should be
done this summer.
Unfinished projects in the park include the out-
door fireplace, the brick flooring in the pergola,
setting more furniture, setting up a covering over
the stage and constructing the grand entrance on
the south side facing the courthouse.
Willitzer mentioned bricks can be personalized
for inclusion in the pergola for $100. Anyone in-
terested in doing so may get more information
from Ron Williamson at 419-399-3650.
It is hoped the park will be completed about the
same time Jane Nices book about Monroe, Mar-
ried to Millie, comes out, sometime in late July or
early August.
Wed like to have a big celebration in honor
of the book release and park completion, said
Willitzer. There are plans to invite Monroes fam-
ily to attend.

Serendipity must be one
of Gods favorite words
It has been a week of
serendipities. One evening
as I walking along a trail in
the Black Swamp Reserve
south of Paulding, all nature
seemed to still around me.
Suddenly, there was sense a
circling motion in the sky
above me. I couldnt believe
my eyes.
There, circling over a large
pond in the reserve was a
beautiful bald eagle, the
prize catch of my nature
walks these days, one of the
eight sights of Planet Earth
that God enjoys the most.
Couple that with my mystical
love for cardinals that God
sends to speak to me through
their various songs and the
combination is almost like the
merging of heaven and earth
to me.
In fact, my dear friend
Meredith Sprunger used to
refer to mergings of several
circumstances into one expe-
rience as, serendipities.
And so it was on the evening
when I experienced the eagle,
I heard two cardinals singing
back and forth across the
pond, one showing his beauty
on a limb right over my head.
Two cardinals singing, and
a few minutes later, an eagle
in flight that was a serendip-
ity to me. God is still there
merging His beauty for those
who will listen and look.
But the mysterious
serendipitous notions of the
Creator were not finished.
The next morning, I was driv-
ing through the Paulding
County countryside and I saw
a large bird sitting on the road
right in front of me. Then I
saw the white head and the
white tail.
Then it lifted and started
circling over my car with all
of its grace and beauty. For
the second time within 12
hours, it was my second eagle
in flight, possibly the same
one.
I stopped the car, watching
the eagle circle with graceful
beauty, and recalled once
again how the scripture says
that one of the eight things
God Himself enjoys so much
is an eagle in flight.
The first eagle I had spotted
in flight was in the Loblolly
Marsh, in Indiana, a little
over a year ago, when it flew
right out of the tree in front of
me and soared like an air-
plane lifting from a runway as
I gazed with tears running
down my face at the heavenly
sight.
But another special merg-
ing embraces my heart more
than any from last weeks
serendipitous happenings. I
was walking along the St.
Marys River in Decatur, Ind.
It was on the River Greenway
on the east side of town.
Cardinal walking stick, my
trusted walking stick and I
were walking under the new
spring foliage when I saw a
sight ahead that immediately
melted my heart. I saw a care-
giver and a Downs Syn-
drome child walking my way.
The child had his own
walking stick. As he drew
closer, his face broke into the
biggest smile as he saw Car-
dinal walking with me. We
met on the trail and his care-
giver smiled with approval,
as I said, Hi, this is my
friend, Cardinal, he walks
with me all of the time. He
wants to meet your walking
stick and be friends with
him.
The child beamed and held
up his walking stick as
though he were trying to
show it to Cardinal. For a few
moments, I shivered with
emotion at the precious sight
in front of me, a smile that ap-
peared as though it were
Gods smile from Heaven.
Finally, the caregiver and
the child moved on, but when
they got about 10 feet be-
yond, he turned and said,
Thank you!
A child, perhaps hampered
a bit in body, but soaring as
though his heart were an
eagle, the ultimate serendip-
ity. After all, it was our Lord
that said that when we recog-
nize these, we are really look-
ing at Him.

tion that raises funds for charity. It is known for People Help-
ing People.

In The
Garden
Project isnt a four-letter word
blackberries and the blueber-
ries, the latter which the rab-
bits decimated, meaning I
may be purchasing new ones.
Last year, we netted the
blackberries, which worked,
but became a pain when it
came time to harvest and then
later remove the nets from the
primacanes and when I
pruned the second-year flori-
canes.
The enclosure is basic
just a wooden framework
covered with chicken wire,
tall enough for us to walk
into, with a pathway down
the middle. Blackberries to
the north, blueberries to the
south. The point of contention
in this project is the top. I
dont want a simple A-shaped
roof; I want a scalene triangle
for a roof, because the blue-
berries are quite short and
dont need for the roof to be
as tall on their side. And it
will look cool. Asymmetrical
just the way I like it.
He should be thankful for
small favors. At least it has no
curves. He should also still be
celebrating the fact that I
agreed several years ago that
we will never hang wallpaper
together ever again as long as
we both shall live. Maybe I
should remind him of that.

Acre, at www.ourlittleacre.com

and change it up a little bit,
just to make it easier for him.
We have learned how to work
together well so that neither
of us kills the other one.
The neighbors will tell you
that during the act of compro-
mise and working out the de-
tails of The Projects, things
can get a little testy and rather
loud. But they know that its
all part of the process of each
of us getting our own way
just a little bit, making it a
true joint venture.
Thats kind of what life in
general and marriage in par-
ticular is like, isnt it? Give
and take? In every partner-
ship I think there is one who
is a little more giving than the
other and one who likes being
on the receiving end a little
too much maybe. I tell him I
dont deserve him. He tells
me he doesnt know how I
put up with him. Now its my
turn to roll my eyes.
So anyway, this years
project is an enclosure for the
Its that time of year when
I utter the word that my hus-
band most hates hearing. He
knows its coming because it
all starts with, Honey...
(pregnant pause) ...Ive got
an idea. This brings on eye-
rolling because idea is on
his list of four-letter words,
which also includes the words
mall and shop.
He knows when I get an
idea that the idea itself is very
likely going to be my biggest
contribution to the project
and that his part will mean the
most work. He admits that it
isnt the work part that he dis-
likes the most; its the figur-
ing out just what hell need to
make what Ive shown him I
want.
He also knows that the rea-
son its never easy, this part,
is because I never want any-
thing that goes in a straight
line. Im a fan of curves and
angles. Hes most definitely
not. He likes things very uni-
form and straight and orderly.
I like it better when its asym-
metrical and wonky.
After nearly 39 years of
marriage, he has learned to
never assume anything. I
have learned that when he
says, No, I cant do that,
that if I just leave him alone,
hell eventually figure out a
way.
He knows if he gives me
enough time and he doesnt
complain too much about
doing it the way I want it
done, that Ill compromise

FINDLAY Ohioans are encouraged to take advantage of
Free Fishing Days May 3-4 and experience the great fishing
Ohio has to offer. For these two days only, Ohio anglers may
fish in any of the states public waters without having to buy a
fishing license.
During the rest of the year, anglers 16 years and older are
required to have a valid fishing license to take fish, frogs or
turtles from Ohio waters. An Ohio fishing license is one of the
best recreation bargains available, costing only $19 a year for
residents.
Ohio residents born on or before Dec. 31, 1937, can obtain
a free fishing license at any license vendor. Residents age 66
and older who were born on or after Jan. 1, 1938, are eligible
to obtain a reduced cost senior fishing license for $10.
A one-day fishing license is also available for $11, an
amount that later can be applied toward the cost of an annual
fishing license. Fishing licenses are available at bait and tackle
stores, outdoor outfitters, major department stores, as well as
wildohio.com.
Ohios Free Fishing Days were established in 1993 to pro-
mote fishing and allow Ohioans to experience fishing before
buying a license. The offer is open to all Ohio residents and
extends to all of Ohios public waters including Lake Erie and
the Ohio River.
Great fishing exists around the state and throughout the year.
An estimated 1.3 million people fish each year in Ohio. In late
winter and early spring, anglers reel in excellent catches of
steelhead trout and walleye from northern Ohio streams.
Spring also means great saugeye and crappie fishing. During
the summer months, the fishing heats up on Lake Erie for yel-
low perch, walleye and smallmouth bass, while anglers on the
Ohio River enjoy excellent striped bass fishing.
The Free Fishing Days weekend offers Ohioans of all ages
the chance to experience the fun of fishing. For anyone taking
a young angler, theres nothing more rewarding than teaching
a kid to fish. Here are some helpful tips:
Keep it simple. Consider the childs age and skill level. If
this is their first time, shore fishing is recommended.
Kids like to catch fish. The size of fish doesnt matter to
kids. But catching a fish any fish does. Choose a pond, lake
or stream where they will easily be able to catch a few fish.
Use simple tackle. A good rod and reel for kids costs be-
tween $15 and $30. A spin-cast reel is easy to use and, after a
few practice casts, kids usually have mastered it.
Bring along a camera. Children love to show off pictures
of their big catch.
Keep the trip fun and short. Let the child have a good time,
even if it means taking a break. Take time out to enjoy the time
together.
Be patient. Plan on spending some time untangling lines,
baiting hooks, landing fish and taking pictures of big smiles
and wiggling fish. When people concentrate all of their atten-
tion on their young angler, they will likely be developing a
fishing buddy for a lifetime.

Hornish, Goeltzenleuchter place
at Tournament of Champions
COLUMBUS Five Wayne
Trace Wrestling Club members
traveled to Columbus this past
weekend for their final tourna-
ment of the 2013-14 wrestling
season. All five competed in the
Ohio Tournament of Champi-
ons, which is Americas only
national modified wrestling
championships and is named
Americas NO. 1 youth tourna-
ment.
This tournament is the largest
one-day tournament in the
world and this year alone had
2,490 registered participants
from all over the United States.
In order to participate in this
tournament, wrestlers must
place at a qualifying tournament
earlier in the season.
Graiden Troth, competing in
his first-ever Tournament of
Champions, started the day off
with a bang for the Raiders, pin-
ning his first opponent. To get a
win at this level is a big accom-
plishment for any wrestler, let
alone a first-year participant.
Unfortunately for Troth, his
next two matches would not go
his way, losing by scores of 10-
2 and then 12-5, respectively,
which would end his day at the
tournament.
Hunter Long started his day
off with a hard-fought match,
but came up just short, losing by
a score of 7-4, which would
move him to the consolation
bracket.
In his next match, Long
bounced back and wrestled very
well, pinning his opponent to
stay alive in the tournament. In
round three, Long ran into a
strong opponent and fell short in
this match, losing 7-4, which
would end his day, too.
Cameron Bevis ran into very
stiff competition in his weight
class and was unable to secure
a win in either of his matches.
He lost the first match by a
score of 10-0 and lost his second
6-4 in a hard-fought battle that
went into overtime.
Bevis went on to compete the
next day at the Wrestle for
Autism Tournament at Olen-
tangy High School, where he
finished the day with a record of
one win and two losses to close
out his season.
Jarrett Hornish set himself a
goal coming into the tourna-
ment that he wanted to improve
on last years performance of
two wins. Wrestling in a 32-
man bracket, he started his day
off strong, winning his first
match by a pin. Hornishs sec-
ond match ended in a loss in a
very close contest by a score of
5-4. This loss moved Hornish to
the consolation round, which
would require him to win or go
home short of his goal.
Hornish wrestled impressive
in his next two matches and
pinned both of this opponents,
which allowed him to reach his
goal and also put him in posi-
tion to get on the podium if he
could win one more. He came
out slow in this match, falling
behind 4-0. Although behind, he
kept his cool and battled back in
the match to take the lead and fi-
nally finished this match with a
pin as well.
This momentum carried
through to the next match and
Hornish won yet another match
by pin moving him even further
up the podium. As Jarrett pre-
pared for his semifinal match,
he received the news that his
opponent had been injured in
his prior match and would be
forfeiting to him due to the in-
jury. This turn of events moved
him into the finals where he
would compete for third place.
Hornish fell short in his finals
match, losing by a pin, but
walked off the mat feeling good
about his fourth place finish and
what he had accomplished for
the day. While standing on the
podium receiving his award,
Jarrett became aware of the fact
that he was the highest placing
Ohio wrestler in his weight
class.
Ruger Goeltzenleuchter
came into this years tourna-
ment as a returning placer from
2013 when he finished as run-
ner-up in the Cadet 115 lb.
weight class. Ruger competed
in the Cadet 125 weight class
this year, which had 42
wrestlers.
Goeltzenleuchter started the
tournament off where he left of
in 2013, winning his first two
matches. In his third match,
things didnt go the way he
would have liked and Ruger
suffered a loss, dropping him to
the consolations. Being in such
a big bracket, this left Goeltzen-
leuchter with a long row to hoe
if he wanted to repeat his per-
formance from 2013 and end
his day on the podium again.
Ruger was up to the task as he
reeled off five straight wins,
which put him in the finals
where he would be wrestling for
third place.
Unfortunately, after this long
string of wins, Ruger came up
short in his finals match and fin-
ished in fourth place.
Just as Hornish realized he
had done well against his Ohio
competition it became apparent
that Goeltzenleuchter had done
the same, as only one Ohio
wrestler in his bracket was in a
higher placing position.
With two of the five wrestlers
finishing on the podium at such
a competitive tournament
Wayne Trace Wrestling Club
coaches Clemens and Long are
so proud of what all the kids in
the club have accomplished this
season.
Jarrett Hornish (center), a member of the Wayne Trace
Wrestling Club, placed fourth in his weight class in the Ohio
Tournament of Champions. A total of five club members com-
peted. Ruger Goeltzenleuchter also placed fourth.
