January in November By JIM LANGHAM Feature Writer PAULDING – The second polar outbreak in the last week is upon us and this one came with an early snowfall that played havoc with area roads and caused area residents to scurry for their snow shovels and winter gear. County Engineer Travis McGarvey estimated that four inches of snow fell on Paulding County late Sunday afternoon and evening, followed by a blast of even colder air causing blowing and drifting snow Monday afternoon and evening. The storm, which began in New Mexico quickly moved northeastward, was first thought to go farther south in Indiana and Ohio, but by late Sunday afternoon, it was evident that the storm had moved further north and was making a beeline for Paulding County. County Schools responded with two-hour delays on Monday Weather specialist Rick McCoy said that he was not shocked by the early outbreak. He noted that the same pattern that had caused last winter’s outrage, for the most part is still in place. “It really never went away,” said McCoy. “That is why we tended to have more cool spells this past summer. “The setup that caused this early snowstorm and cold outbreak is the same as we saw all last winter,” said McCoy. “All winter we ended up getting more snow than was predicted and storms often ended up about a 100 miles farther north than computers were showing to the National Weather Service. “This same thing happened this past Sunday,” said McCoy. “The bulk of the storm was expected to go through central and southern Indiana and Ohio, but by the time it reached us, the heart of the storm occurred more in the central Melinda Krick/Paulding County Progress and northern part of our states. Paulding County woke up Monday morning with some areas “In the past, winters such as this have tended to blanketed with four inches of snow. Many trees still have their go in cycles,” said McCoy. “It’s way too early fall leaves. According to weather experts, cold temperatures to tell whether or not this winter is going to be will remain the norm for the unforeseeable future. as persistent as last winter, but it’s certainly off to a similar start.” McCoy noted that the unusual early Arctic plunge into the central United States has been caused by what weather personnel refer to as an Omega block that has been stuck over southeast Alaska and is forcing the jet stream to go much further north to pull air originating in the Arctic Circle to come down across the Midwest. Still, temperatures in single digits at night and no warmer than the teens in the daytime are almost unheard of in November, especially this early in the month. He noted that the average daytime highs for this time of the year are still in the mid to upper 40s and in the mid to upper 20s at night. Predicted temperatures for much of this week are 20 degrees below those temperatures. Another thing that could factor into the lows, said McCoy, is how much snow accumulates and stays on the ground. Snow ground cover can have a bearing about low temperatures, said McCoy. “Daytime highs will struggle to reach 20 degrees Tuesday and Wednesday,” said McCoy. McCoy said that NWS officials in Syracuse are already closely watching the possibility of a third Arctic Outbreak to come into the Midwest next week. “If that doesn’t happen, the air could moderate a little this weekend,” said McCoy. “Right now it looks like any moderation could stay to the west of us and cold air could continue to cover our area.” McCoy said that even if some moderation does occur this weekend, weather officials are already talking about another substantial cold outbreak by the middle of next week. “What it boils down to is that we are getting late December weather in mid-November,” said the NWS from Syracuse early this morning. “There are no indications of any change in the near future.” Other possibilities for snow this week could be caused by weak disturbances with light snow on Wednesday and Friday. 2A - Paulding County Progress Wednesday, November 19, 2014 Grand jury indicts 13 PAULDING – A Paulding County grand jury returned indictments against 13 persons on Thursday, Nov. 13.

GREEAR MEETS FORD C.E.O. – Rick Greear of Integrity Ford, Paulding, recently took part in a seminar for dealers in Dearborn, Mich.

Fire truck, army tank on Antwerp Council agenda By JOE SHOUSE Progress Staff Writer ANTWERP – Fire Chief Ray Friend informed Antwerp Village Council on the future purchase of the new fire truck. The original cost was $235,000, but since the first quote was received the base price has increased to $247,000 due to materials cost. “With the additions we need to make to the new truck, the new bid has come in at $263,597. If the truck is purchased within 30 days and is paid for up front, then we will receive a discount of just over $3,000,” Friend told council on Monday. The council agreed to consider the cost and the timeline involved in purchasing the truck. However, in the meantime, Councilman Larry Ryan will contact the manufacturer in Florida and get detailed information concerning discounts and possible timeframe for purchase. Council will be contacting their financial institution concerning a loan to purchase the truck. Once the bank loan is secured, a special meeting will be called in order to pass a resolution to purchase the fire truck. An emergency resolution was passed allowing the village to participate in the state’s cooperative purchasing program. The program allows participation in contracts to purchase equipment such as a fire truck as well as other supplies, services and materials. Antwerp residents Paul Reinhart and John Chilcote were in attendance to voice their opposition to a single company collecting trash/garbage in the village. Both gave reasons for their views and had friendly dialogue with council mem- bers. Currently, council is in the process of seeking bids for the collection and removal of residential garbage. The second reading of the proposed ordinance was heard with the third and final reading coming at the December meeting. The public service committee met on Nov. 13 to discuss some of the issues concerning the garbage pick-up with key recommendations given to council, including: • The village will not add to the accepted bid any additional per-month charge. • With the exception of mobile home parks, apartment complexes, downtown second story apartments currently supplied with dumpsters, every home residence inside the village limits will be billed and supplied with garbage pick up. Commercial, industrial and agribusiness will continue to negotiate their garbage pick up. There will be no exceptions. • Residents who will be away from their home for more than 30 days can ask to not be picked up or billed. A motion was made and unanimously passed to pay Antwerp Community Development Committee (ACDC) $3,250 toward the new baseball and softball fields at the school. This money was earmarked at the end of last year to for improvements through the ACDC leadership. Discussion continues concerning the village receiving a decommissioned tank to be displayed at Riverside Park. The park board voted to accept the tank, but would like to have it located near the center of the park. Council members have concerns that the location in the middle of the park is not the best choice R O S E N I L G N NO LO ! T U O G N I P M A C and would like to see the tank near the current memorial near the entrance. No decision was made; however, it is hoped that a final resting place for the tank can be agreed upon at the December meeting. The second phase of Safe Routes to School will most likely be constructed in 2016. Right-of-way on Harrmann Road is required and will need to be purchased by the village in order to place a sidewalk on Harrmann Road to the school. The current public right-ofway is not wide enough to construct the sidewalk. It is estimated that an additional width of 10 feet for the length of the project is needed. ODOT estimates the additional purchase may be up to $15,000, based on prior project experience. The two owners of the needed right-of-way will be offered a fair market price with ODOT doing the necessary paperwork and legwork. The village will still be required to pay the owners for the right- BLACK FRIDAY STARTS NOW! Video Tours Online www.realtyfive.com money m great ho aker! me 104 W.

In looking ahead to 2015, village administrator Sara Keeran has included an appropriation for Poggemeyer Design Group to develop a commercial zoning section for the village’s zoning ordinance. Currently, the zoning ordinance only has business district language (downtown). Keeran is concerned that the village be prepared with the land that surrounds the US 24/Ohio 49 exit and to have it zoned to address the future commercial and business needs. The cost to have the area in question properly zoned will be approximately $3,500. Mayor Tom VanVlerah will hold another open night with the mayor on Nov. 25.

All is quiet here since the bus left with the four youngest children. Benjamin hasn’t been home since yesterday morning. Something broke down at Mose’s sawmill, so Benjamin stayed there last night to work later. Waiting on the part for the mill put them behind. Benjamin always enjoys staying there as Mose has a brother Freeman, 16. They both enjoy hunting and fishing. Monday was a beautiful day and we were able to get all the clothes dried outside. Now this morning the temperature is at the freezing mark. Yesterday daughter Verena and I cleaned out the stove and refrigerator/freezer that runs off of propane. We use an air compressor to blow out the burners. It’s always a big job, but always nice to see it nice and sparkling clean when it is done. I think it’s still easier than when I had to clean a kerosene stove. Cleaning the pipeline and getting the burners all cleaned and trimming the wicks was a big job. Daughter Elizabeth now has another puppy, Crystal, that is four months old. Crystal is quite a bit bigger than Izzy. Izzy is six months old and enjoys her playmate. Crystal is a Beiwer Yorkie and weighs seven pounds. Izzy is a teacup Yorkie so she is full grown at three pounds. Crystal loves to hide our shoes. Right now she is lying under the table sleeping while I write this column. Izzy sleeps in the most uncomfortable positions, such as on the top of the back of a recliner. Last Friday my husband, Joe, and I, along with our six youngest children, traveled to the Berne community to attend the wedding of Solomon and Rosanne. Sister Emma and Jacob’s two daughters also went with us. It was nice to see several uncles and aunts at the wedding, and also cousins that we don’t often see. Sister Liz was at the wedding and we visited at her house in the afternoon. We also made a short stop at brother Amos and Nancy’s before we headed back to the wedding for the evening meal. We were served delicious meals both times. On the menu was chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy, noodles, dressing, corn, broccoli and cauliflower salad, homemade bread, butter, grape jelly, cake, three kinds of pie – pumpkin, pecan, raspberry cream – mixed fruit and ice cream. Candy bars were also passed out to everyone at the end of the meal.

Bargin Bin update Dear Editor, There is a new sign on the corner of Harrison and Cherry. I’ll bet you did not know that. Well check it out. It is the official kickoff sign for the new building being built for the Bargain Bin of Paulding County. A few months have passed since we made the announcement that an anonymous benefactor was going to give a gift of several thousand dollars to put toward a new building. What a challenge it has been since we were given that beautiful gift. It is not easy becoming property owners and planning this new building. But we are doing it. A big “thank you” to the Paulding County Commissioners and the Paulding Area Foundation for their help in getting us started. And if you check out the thermometer on the sign you will see we have already had some generous donations toward this new building but we still have a ways to go. So if you want to help us with this new endeavor you can send your gift to the address on the bulletin board, which the Area Foundation is assisting us with, or stop in at the Bargain Bin on our regular business days, give to any of our members, or when you drop off your donations of clothing and thank you so much. We have been asked if we are going to raise prices when we get our new building. We plan to keep business as usual. Same prices in a new building. Wow! That sounds like a good motto. We hope to start building in the spring. We have chosen McDonalds Construction from Defiance as our builders and plans are to use all local contractors which we truly appreciate and support. Our new building will be 60 x 80 and will be an all steel building. Nothing fancy but fresh and new. Bargain Bin was begun in the 60s during the polio epidemic and our monies have all gone to the rehabilitation and the support of the physical therapy department at the Paulding County Hospital. We will continue to support this and recently gave a gift of $1,000 for the purchase of a television and notepads for the education of the clients and the therapists. I personally was able to see what these notepads can do and I was impressed and so will you should you need therapy. We have been overwhelmed with the clothing and miscellaneous donations that have been coming in. Thank you so much. Just so you know nothing is thrown away. Just like a regular business we strive to keep new items on the racks so on occasion we will remove clothing etc. that has been there for a awhile and these items are then sent to the Ft Wayne mission. Dress for Success at the Ft Wayne Women’s Bureau has asked for the really nice suits, etc. for their mission of sending out a woman for a new job with a new outfit. We recycle to Koharts, all old t-shirts that are stained go into bags for the use of farmers, city employees, and painters. Vintage items are given to the John Paulding Historical Society. Some of the props and clothing at the recent Hee Haw that was presented by JPHS was found at the Bargain Bin. Need something for a special occasion. We probably have it. We have beautiful wedding gowns, prom dresses, mother of the bride dresses, hawaiian shirts, all kinds of things for the holidays, cards, books, records and kids toys. We put nothing on our racks that is soiled. We take pride in what we sell to our customer. We always have school clothing and recently someone called and wanted steel toed shoes. Need an ugly sweat shirt for a Christmas party. We probably have it. New members are always welcomed. Membership dues are $3.00 a year but the blessing you will receive from helping will be far greater than the cost of the dues. We put new items out every Monday from 8-12 and we are open for business Fridays 9-5 and Saturday 9-12. We will gladly come and speak at your meetings should you need to know more about the Bargain Bin.

We hope you will support this new endeavor that will be a great asset to Paulding. We are planning to honor our benefactors with their names on a plaque which will be displayed in the new building. Don’t know what to get someone for a birthday or Christmas gift. Maybe you could make a donation in their honor. We will continue to keep you updated on the progress but in the meantime keep an eye on the thermometer at the corner of Harrison and Cherry. Please help us to go over the top.

Wednesday, November 19, 2014 Paulding County Progress - 7A The ‘in’ word Have you ever thought about things you have “been in?” Or telling your children “Don’t get in that candy?” The word in is a word that has many different meanings. We say, “Do you believe in Santa?” Or, “What do you have in your pocket?” We also say, “They are in the first grade.” “He is in a white car.” “She is in trouble.” “I will meet you in one hour.” “How much money do you have in your hand?” “How many eggs are in a dozen?” One of my unthinkable ways I use the word is, “I don’t fit in those pants anymore.” We also use the little meaningful word to say, “I am getting in bed.” Then, too, this little word in can be hurtful when someone says, “I’m not in love with you anymore.” There is a song that says, “I’ve got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart.” When someone comes to visit you may tell them to, “Come in.” We also ask, “What news was in the paper today?” “What was in that recipe?” “Did Robert Downey Jr. star in that movie?” So we have: in bed, in my heart, come in, in my hand, in the movie, in those pants, not in love, in a car, in the recipe, in the A Penny for Your Thoughts By Nancy Whitaker first grade and in trouble. These are just thoughts in my head. However, here are a few funny “in” situations you might want to think about. I have been in many places, but I’ve never been in Cahoots. Apparently, you can’t go alone. You have to be in Cahoots with someone. I’ve also never been in Cognito. I hear no one recognizes you there. I have, however, been in Sane. They don’t have an airport; you have to be driven there. I have made several trips, thanks to my friends, family, and work. §POLICE REPORTS Continued from Page 5A West Perry Street business.

Sometimes I’m in Capable, and I go there more often as I’m getting older. One of my favorite places to be is in Suspense! It really gets the adrenaline flowing and pumps up the old heart! At my age I need all the stimuli I can get! I hope I don’t become in Continent, because I might not remember what country it was in. It could be an age thing, you know. They say that English is the hardest language to master. I agree, because just look at one little word and how many ways it can be used. Now if anyone is having fun, a party or even wants to do something exciting, you can, “count me in.” How many ways can you use the word “in?” I don’t ever like to be in Correct, but if I am, I will give you a Penny for Your Thoughts. Preventing and treating deer damage on trees By Mark Holtsberry Education specialist Paulding SWCD It’s deer season and bucks can’t resist sapling trees and will shred them as part of their mating ritual during the fall rut season starting in mid-September. Known as “buck rubs” this damage to young trees and shrubs can be prevented very easily. Shredded trees can be treated to present permanent damage, but earlier preventive measures are well worth the trouble. Here’s how to do both. The easiest deterrent to manage over time is commercial deer deterrent spray. Some foresters have had great success using “liquid fence,” a mixture of smells deer can not tolerate, in an easy-to-use pump sprayer. Once it dries, “liquid fence” resists washing away and will continue to work for about a month. It is suggested to spray it on any new planting so deer are discouraged from day one. Starting in mid-September, spray the trunks of all young trees once per month during fall to prevent buck damage. Continuing to spray regularly through the winter helps prevent deer nibbling on trees and shrubs. Surround tree trunks with wire fencing. Starting with a roll of galvanized fence with LEPC continues with plans for a February exercise By JIM LANGHAM Feature Writer PAULDING – Members of the Paulding County Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) met on Nov. 12 at the Paulding County Health Department to continue taking steps toward a county exercise on Feb. 21, 2015. One of the biggest concerns is incorporating a hazmat portion of the exercise, hopefully including the Paulding County Hospital and Paulding County Health Department. County Emergency Management Agency director Ed Bohn said that it is imperative in some way that a hazmat portion of the exercise be incorporated at some point in order to satisfy State requests concerning the matter. He noted that would require some type of a hazardous materials incident. Bill Edwards noted the possibility of incorporating this exercise focus on hazmat capabilities be discussed further between Edwards, Kyle Mawer and Richard Lauffer. Bohn reported that, thankfully, there are no current or possible cases of Ebola in the State of Ohio. Bohn said that he paid a visit to Paulding County Hospital to assist and listen to a training session for emergency room personnel on the correct methods for wearing and discarding personal protective equipment. At the LEPC meeting, Bohn discussed the need for educational materials to be distributed to the public by the LEPC public relations committee. In addition, Bill Steinbrenner spoke on behalf of the Red Cross concerning recent changes that have taken place. He noted that there has been a change in organization structure with a number of county offices. It was also noted that Paulding, Van Wert and Ottawa offices remain open for the time being. “There is no longer a county director for each office,” said Bohn. “The function of these offices will fall under the direction of the Lima office.” Steinbrenner said that while there will be no change in service delivery, there is an acute need for more volunteers to assist. First Christian Church ‘Like a January event,’ says county engineer By JIM LANGHAM Feature Writer Paulding County Engineer Travis McGarvey sat behind his desk Monday noon after taking a check on his crew and the condition of county roads. McGarvey said that he was not surprised by snow in November, but the amount and nature of the storm seemed quite rare to him. “I was more surprised by the amount. Usually, early November storms are wet and slushy, but this time, we’ve had to start dealing with drifting and blowing snow on many of the county roads. That is very unusual for November, as is this deep cold. “It’s not that this is such a substantial event, but the character of it is very unusual,” added McGarvey. McGarvey said that his mechanics and drivers worked most of October on making sure that trucks and equipment were ready for this winter. “This time of the year we keep a few trucks around to work on. By the first of November, we have a fleet ready to go, if needed, including lights, plows and spreaders,” observed McGarvey. “The guys make sure they are all prepared with gear, toe straps and shovels.” McGarvey noted that the same drivers keep the same routes from year to year in order to be familiar with each ditch and all of the nuances of their route. He noted that “familiarity between driver and route” is a very important aspect of county snow removal. “We’ve got a good supply of salt,” said McGarvey. “If we have another hard winter like last year, we’ve got enough to cover it, or we have enough to cover two average winters.” The Engineer noted that he also likes to mix a little aggregate with salt because it helps the effects of the salt to stay longer and because it stretches the supply some. Another aspect that McGarvey emphasizes is that drivers stay physically fit and rested. He noted that staying rested last winter was nearly impossible because some snow events lined up one day after the other, and a considerable amount stayed on the ground and continued to drift. “Last winter, after a while, the question became, ‘where do you put it,’” said McGarvey. “We kept trying to push it back the best we could.” McGarvey advocated cautiousness on behalf of vehicles traveling during snow removal. He noted that sometimes, with snow being thrown and blowing snow, it becomes very difficult for drivers to see other vehicles on the road. “They’re out there doing all they can to open up the roads. Please be cautious, keep a safe distance from them and respect what they are trying to do for you,” added McGarvey.

Bucks might try to rub, but they quickly become discouraged and move on. The inner bark of trees is their pipeline for water and nutrients between the roots and leaves. Torn and shredded bark can’t transmit water up the tree, and the torn flesh attracts borers. In extreme cases the damage is so severe that the tree won’t survive. A rule of thumb is that, if the inner bark is scraped off more than halfway around the trunk, it won’t heal soon enough for the tree to ever grow normally. To treat buck rubs, use a sharp box knife to trim away any torn bark. Once you trim and carefully clean the wound, the healing will begin. Eventually, the bark will grow over and close the gash. In the meantime, you have to protect the exposed flesh of the tree from insects and decay. Use a thick coat of tree wound paint. The paint will wear off, so you should repaint the area at lest once a year until it’s healed. Some folks would say, “Let nature take its course,” but the little trees need a helping hand.

The story of this bird has intrigued me for decades, for there are elements that would strain credulity had there not been so many witnesses spanning centuries and writing in at least five languages. “But this is just not about Martha and her species,” continued Greenberg. “It is as much about people, from the Native Americans who shared their lands with the pigeon for roughly 15,000 years to the Europeans and their American and Canadian successors who subjected the birds to slaughter that likely has not occurred before or since. A few individuals tried to curb that killing, but most of the effort on behalf of the species occurred well too late to save it.” Greenberg recently Antwerp, Ohio 419-258-5351 305 S. Main Street Antwerp, OH 45813 Payne, Ohio 419-236-2705 102 N. N Main Street Payne, OH 45880 Harlan, Indiana - LPO 260-657-1000 18214 SR Thirty-Seven Harlan, IN 46743 published a book, A Feathered River Across the Sky, that has quickly caught on nationwide in sales. “I’ve been in to nature all of my life,” said Greenberg in an interview I had with him earlier this month. “When you read about American birds, the story of the passenger pigeon rises to a prominent place. It’s amazing to think about how abundant the forests once were in this region to support such an abundant species.” Greenberg said that he is aghast at descriptions of billions of birds in the air near Toronto in 1860 and then to realize that the last wild bird was shot near Laurel, Ind., in 1902. The noted author said that it is hard to imagine the depletion of such an abundant species in such a short time. “To me there is no stronger cautionary tale of what can happen if we are not good stewards of our abundant resources,” said Greenberg. “The recent problem with drinking water in the Toledo area is a great example of what happens. One place where there should be an incredible supply of drinking water is the Great Lakes.” I know that this column has been different than many that I’ve done, but as a minister and lover of nature, I can’t ignore God’s words following creation to, “care for the earth.” I can’t tell you how sad I feel over the extinction of the passenger pigeon. Hopefully this will serve as a wake-up call before any such incident ever occurs in the future. The Progress ... is Paulding County’s newspaper of record.

Scott Wagner 00080889 A death that occurred in the Cincinnati Zoological Gardens a hundred years ago sent enormous shock waves of realization to bird lovers and nature lovers in general. The passing of Martha, a passenger pigeon, finished the demise of a species of birds that once had been the most plentiful bird in the country and in the world. Martha had lived all of her 29 years at the Cincinnati Zoo. When she passed, she was packed in 300 pounds of ice and sent immediately to the Smithsonian Institute. It is estimated that passenger pigeons once numbered in the millions in the United States alone. They lived in enormous colonies, with sometimes up to 100 nests in a tree. It is said that migrating flocks stretched a mile wide and turned the sky black when they flew over. The famed bird painter, John James Audubon, reported seeing billions of passenger pigeons pass over him on the way to Louisville. Audubon said in his diary report that the air was full of a “continued buzz of wings,” and he noted that, “the air was literally filled with pigeons; the light of noonday was obscured as by an eclipse.” Audubon said that when he reached his destination 55 miles away, the birds were continuing to pass overhead and continued to do so for three days. Passenger pigeons faded rapidly in the late 19th century due to over hunting, habitat loss, especially the falling of widespread forests across the Midwest and possible infection diseases that spread through the colonies.

It’s a program that was started by Palmetto Electric Cooperative in South Carolina, but co-ops across the nation joined forces and also began implementing the program to their members. The idea was to give members the option of having their bills rounded up to the nearest dollar every month, with those extra few cents going to benefit people in need within the co-op’s service territory. Paulding Putnam began doing Operation Round Up in July 2010. Currently, over 8,700 of the co-op’s 12,900 members participate and to date local charities have received $220,510.33. In 2014 alone, over $41,000 dollars was raised and distributed. The following agencies submitted applications and received grants this year: Van Wert Area Boy Choir, Oakwood Elementary, Hoagland Area Advancement Association, Paulding Master Gardener Program, Paulding Soil & Water Conservation, Putnam County Farm Safety, Paulding County Society for Crippled Children and Adults, Paulding Exempted Village Schools speech pathology, Allen Superior Court/ Collegiate Connection, East Allen County Education – mentor intervention, Niswonger PAC, S.A.L.

WT names new treasurer By JOE SHOUSE Progress Staff Writer HAVILAND – Wayne Trace Local School Board unanimously accepted Lori Davis as the district’s new treasurer at its regular monthly meeting held on Nov. 10. Principals from each building gave their report and several overnight trips and supplemental contracts approved. Lori Davis, current treasurer of Vantage Career Center, was selected from a small pool of applicants. Her contract will begin Jan. 1 and will include a three-year term, ending Aug. 31, 2018. Davis replaces Gary Ginter, who resigned effective Nov. 30. Ginter will leave his post to dedicate himself to full-time pastoral ministry. In his final report to the board, Ginter informed the members that Julian & Grube, an independent accounting firm in Westerville, has completed its work concerning the district’s audit and will soon be audited again by the State of Ohio. The accounting work performed by Julian & Grube came in wake of the report that the district was found to be unauditable. In personnel matters, the board: • approved one-year supplemental contracts for 2014-15 school year for certified personnel: Zach Boyer, junior varsity baseball and Kalya Gawronski, junior varsity softball. • approved one-year supplemental contracts for the 2014-15 school year for classified personnel: Amber Showalter, assistant softball (30 percent of head coach pay); Don Kipfer, assistant junior high track and field. • approved volunteer coaches for the 2014-15 school year: Dave Elick, basketball; Jordan Sherry, basketball; Jeff Haney, baseball; Mike Jerome, baseball; Travis Tumblin, baseball; Anita Branch, track and field; Terry Campbell, track and field; Tiffany Dargenson, track and field; Dan Shepherd, track and field; Brian Yenser, track and field; Chad Critten, track and field. Principals updated the board concerning their building and scheduled activities. Greg Leath, principal at the Jr./Sr. High school, reported that parent-teacher conferences were held on Oct. 29-30 with 220 conferences being held. Heather Hatcher, a biology teacher, was named teacher of the quarter. Hatcher has embraced the 1:1 initiative by implementing instruction and assessment by way of the laptop computer. Leath reported the Red Cross blood draw was held on Nov. 7 with good participation. Two special events during the month of November included the Veterans Day service on Nov. 11 and the National Honor Society induction ceremony scheduled for Nov. 26. The junior high geography and spelling bee will be held on Nov. 26. Maintenance problems continue to be an issue of importance at Grover Hill. Principal Kevin Wilson reported that roof repair has been completed at a cost of $1,000. Additional repairs are necessary and will be completed at an approximate cost of $1,800. The Grover Hill school sign received minor damage and has been repaired. The cafeteria steam table has issues and was struggling to keep food warm. The heating elements have been replace at a cost of $300. Principal Jody Dunham reported on the happenings at Payne Elementary.

Need help in the garden? There’s an app for that! It wasn’t all that long ago when I was thinking to myself that there weren’t very many gardening apps available, and especially not for those of us who have Android phones and tablets. Though gardening apps were a little slower to come on the scene in relation to other categories, there are now several good ones to choose from. Why would you need an app for gardening? In a world of smart phones, it just makes sense that there are digital ways to help us make decisions about what to buy, lay out our gardens, how to care for our plants and even help us identify them. Here’s a brief rundown on just a few of those that are available: • Garden Time Planner by Burpee: The Burpee Seed Company knows gardening. They’ve been doing it since 1876 and this app includes region-specific information on herbs and vegetables, including task lists and links to helpful videos. Free for iOS and Android. • Home Outside Palette by Julie Moir Messervy: If you want to plan a landscape like the pros, this app from a professional designer will help you do just that. You can create renderings of your designs which you can share via email or social media, as well as take with you to the garden center when purchasing plants. It’s free for both iOS and Android, with in-app purchasing options including design help from Messervy. • G a r d e n Compass In the Garden By Kylee Baumle Plant/Disease Identifier by TeamSOA Inc.: If you ever wished you could just take a picture of a plant and send it to someone to identify, this one’s for you. Their team of horticulture experts will also identify plant problems for you, based on photos you submit. Free for iOS and Android. • Armitage’s Greatest Perennials and Annuals from Sutro Media: Dr. Alan Armitage is a greatly respected horticulturist and professor at the University of Georgia and author of several excellent books. He shares his recommendations of over 70 genera of plants with photos and videos and growing tips to help you have a successful ornamental garden. $4.99 for both iOS and Android. • Audubon Wildflowers by Green Mountain Digital: We live in an area rich with native wildflowers and this app has a database of over 1,600 North American species. You’ll get range maps, color photos and natural history. Audubon has other nature apps that are just as helpful. The Android version is $3.99; iOS is $4.99. • Fresh Food Finder, Farmstand, and Local Pickins are three free apps that give you nearby farmers’ market locations in case you don’t have a garden of your own or you simply want fresh produce that you didn’t happen to grow yourself. All three have iOS and Android versions. Most garden apps are developed for the iPhone and/ or iPad, but Android users will find no shortage of choices. Even those that are currently for only iOS usually have Android versions in development. Keep checking the iTunes and Google Play stores for what’s new. Both stores will also suggest similar apps to the one you’re looking at so be sure to investigate those. I’ve found it helpful to read the comments and ratings when trying to decide whether or not an app is worth the space it will take up on my phone’s hard drive. But remember that people have different expectations and levels of tech expertise and their comments will probably reflect that. If it’s a free app, you’ve got nothing to lose by downloading it and trying it out. If it doesn’t do what you expected, you can uninstall it and try something else.

Commissioners’ corner By Tony Zartman Paulding County Commissioner Now that the election is over and the dust has cleared, I felt it was necessary to clarify a few statements made during the campaign. I would like to inform our constituents as to how and why our office makes the decisions we do. A statement was made that the budget needs to be balanced and the department appropriations leveled out so all offices be funded equally, instead of some departments barely scraping by while others have a large carryover. Since I have served as commissioner all budgets have balanced. Our county is very fortunate that the leadership has understood that debts acquired to fund operations are not acceptable. Debt should only be acceptable to cover costs incurred for capital acquisitions or improvements. Because of the decisions that have been made, Paulding County is financially sound. All offices have been funded adequately to perform the duties they are responsible for. It is true that some departments or offices have large carryover that is separate from the general fund. These offices receive their funding through special sources like gas tax revenue, voted millage or fees for services. These funds must be kept separate and used only for purposes specified either by O.R.C. or wording stipulated in their MOM creation. Another statement was made saying that the wind farm revenue needs to be distributed fairly. With the adoption of Senate Bill 232 and the commissioners’ resolution establishing the county as an Alternative Energy Fund, the revenue source for the county was clarified from each qualifying wind farm. The Senate Bill places the responsibility of determined distribution of these proceeds on the Commissioners’ Office. The bill states that the proceeds are to benefit the taxing district in which the farm is constructed. The commissioners’ office understood the importance of treating all entities receiving tax dollars from the district be treated fairly. Determining this distribution incurred after a great deal of debate. We felt the importance of entities to benefit from this distribution should be determined by the voters residing in the district. So a resolution was passed that would distribute these proceeds the same way the property taxes are distributed in that district. This formula is based on the total millage in the district. If voters pass additional millage for an entity or millage expires the distribution would be readjusted. By allowing the distribution to be determined by the voters in their district, we felt this was the fairest way to benefit all parties involved. Since the inception of the “Commissioners’ Corner” we have talked about being transparent. I would like to extend the offer of anyone who has a question or comment about actions taken by the board of commissioners to send a letter to the commissioners’ office with your concerns and one of the commissioners will respond. this response will be given to the local newspapers for their consideration along with the letter of inquiry. Only signed letters with current addresses will be considered.

As part of the sewer separation project, a water line will be replaced on the east side of Williams Street, causing the need to remove all trees on the east side. Due to the shape they are in, the trees on the west side of the street are being considered for removal as well. The trees have also been reported to be a safety issue due to blocking a stop sign. The village is working with Stephanie Miller, a forester, on removing the trees and replacing them with a more street-friendly type. The water line replacement will be next spring. A meeting with the project engineer will be held at 10 a.m. Thursday. Marsha Yeutter of the Paulding County Senior Center inquired if she could have a written agreement between the center and the village to upgrade the center’s parking lot. Yeutter noted the lot overflows during events and she receives complaints from a nearby resident. Since the village owns most of the surrounding property, she is hoping to expand the lot. Village solicitor Michael Jones is looking at the plats and will write up an agreement. In other business, the council: • Unanimously approved to the agreement with Anne Marie Reinhart from Returned To You to begin collecting delinquent utility bills. • Heard the first reading of Ordinance 148914 authorizing the mayor to execute documents required by the State of Ohio Department of Transportation for receipt of Safe Route To School funds and construction of the project, to execute contracts as required. The measure was declared an emergency and unanimously approved. • Heard the second reading of Ordinance 1488-14 amending Ordinance 1244-01 fixing the compensation of elective village of officers. Safety committee will meet at 5:30 p.m. Nov. 24 and a utility committee will meet at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 19. The next regular council meeting is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Dec. 1. House Bill 10 ensures local government accountability e d There is one thing you can be certain of, and that is, this state depends on its local government system. As a state representative, I believe that one of my duties is ensuring that the concerns of our county and municipal sectors are included in the decisions we make here in Columbus. These areas are the backbone of our neighborhoods and the foundation of our progress. I have had the fortunate opportunity to serve many years in county government, which includes four terms as Paulding County Commissioner. I have seen firsthand the passion and hard work that goes into these localized decisions, and it’s my hope that I can take my unique experience in these roles to offer my viewpoint on legislation that affects those in these capacities. The Ohio House passed legislation earlier this year that addresses a variety of procedures and requirements pertaining to the fiscal officers of townships and municipal corporations in From The State House Rep. Tony Burkley our local communities. Measures in the bill include creating a uniform removal procedure for fiscal officers based on precedence, ensuring that county auditors and treasurers perform their duties every 30 days, and establishing education programs to encourage ongoing training in these areas. Accountability is important at the local, state and federal levels. This country was based on the idea of “checks and balances” and taxpayers deserve to know that their money is being responsibly utilized. This bill helps to address that issue by making certain that those on the local level are following the proper guidelines and that their money is being properly watched over. House Bill 10 is currently in the Senate and I hope to see its progress. The majority of our local, state and federal workers are good people who are here to serve. I fondly look back on my days at the local level and I will continue to bring their concerns back to the Statehouse. Together we can continue to push for accountability and transparency in our government, as it benefits our economy, businesses and my fellow Ohioans.  Rep. Burkley may be reached by calling (614) 6445091, e-mailing Rep82@ ohiohouse.gov or writing to State Representative Tony Burkley, 77 South High Street, Columbus, Ohio 43215. Paulding native donates painting PAULDING – The Paulding County Carnegie Library was recently the recipient of an original painting done by Paulding native Dan Stouffer. Stouffer was born and raised in Paulding. He now lives in New Mexico and is a professional artist. The artist fondly shared with library director Susan Pieper what the library meant to him as a child, and wanted to give one of his paintings for the citizens to enjoy. “We are thrilled that Mr. Stouffer thought of the library in such a meaningful way,” Pieper said. “His painting is beautiful and will remind us all that there are those who were raised in Paulding County and who now live elsewhere, but who still hold the county library close to their hearts.” The painting is a watercolor of a stand of aspens and is on permanent display at the main historic Carnegie library in Paulding.

Few foods receive the fanfare of turkey come the holiday season. The National Turkey Federation says Americans eat 46 million turkeys each Thanksgiving and another 22 million on Christmas. An additional 19 million enjoy turkey as part of their Easter celebrations. Though turkey is enjoyed throughout the year, it is most popular during the holiday season. Some celebrants may want to know more about this beloved bird before sinking their teeth into their next holiday meal. The following turkey tidbits may surprise you. • Turkeys are large game birds that are closely related to chickens, pheasants and quail. • The turkey’s scientific name is “meleagris gallopavo,” which is the wild turkey from which the domesticated turkey many people eat descends. There is another species of turkey known as the ocellated turkey, which is native to the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico. • By the early 1900s, the wild turkey neared extinction. Restoration projects have increased the number of turkeys from approximately 30,000 birds back then to nearly seven million now. • Despite their size, turkeys can fly in the wild. They often perch in trees to sleep to protect themselves from predators. Some domesticated turkeys may not fly because they have been bred to be overly large to produce more breast meat. • The heaviest turkey ever raised was 86 pounds. • A male turkey is called a “tom” or a “gobbler,” while female turkeys are referred to as “hens.” Only the male will make the familiar gobbling sound, which is used to attract mates. • A hen is smaller than a gobbler and does not have the distinctive beard of modified feathers that gobblers have on their breasts. Males also have sharp spurs on their legs for fighting. • Male and female turkeys also can be differentiated by their droppings. Male droppings are spiral-shaped, while females’ look like the letter J. • Both genders of turkey have snoods (the dangling appendage on the face) as well as red wattles under their chins. • A hen can lay about 10 to 12 eggs over a period of two weeks. The eggs will incubate for 28 days before hatching. Baby turkeys are called “poults.” • Turkeys and peacocks may look similar, but they are not closely related. • Turkeys have excellent vision due to their eyes being located on the sides of their head. This gives the birds periscopic vision. • The gizzard is a part of the turkey’s stomach that contains tiny stones that the bird has swallowed. The stones facilitate the digestion process. • Benjamin Franklin did not support the bald eagle as the nation’s symbol, feeling the turkey would be a better choice. In a letter to his daughter, he wrote, “He [bald eagle] is a rank coward; the little king-bird, not bigger than a sparrow, attacks him boldly and drives him out of the district. For in truth, the turkey is in comparison a much more respectable bird, and withal a true original native of America. Eagles have been found in all countries, but the turkey was peculiar to ours …” • Turkeys will have 3,500 feathers at maturity. Rumor has it the costume worn by the “Sesame Street” character “Big Bird” is made of turkey feathers. • The turkey shares its name with a country. But why? A turkey bears some resemblance to the guinea fowl. Though it is native to eastern Africa, the guinea fowl was imported to Europe through the Ottoman Empire and came to be called the “turkey-cock” or “turkey-hen.” When settlers in the New World began to send similarlooking fowl back to Europe, they were mistakenly called “turkeys.” • Despite an abundance of turkeys being eaten between November and January, June is National Turkey Month.
