When Paulding County res-
ident Richard Nickols fol-
lowed the advice his family
doctor, Dr. Joseph Kuhn, to
have his colon checked, he
was shocked to discover that
there was a substantial amount
of cancer that would require
six months of chemotherapy.
That was in 2003, just three
years before he and his wife,
Janice, were hoping to cele-
brate their 50th wedding an-
niversary. Janice can still re-
member her one request to
physicians caring for her hus-
band.
I asked the doctor to do all
that he could to give us a few
years so we could celebrate
our 50th anniversary, said
Janice. We had been married
47 years at the time. He did a
good job; he kept him around
for a lot longer time than that.
The Nickols have now been
married for 56 years.
But things got tougher than
he would have imagined at the
beginning of the cancer fight.
Complications developed at
the hospital and he ended up
staying at a Defiance hospital
for two weeks. Six months of
chemotherapy followed.
The bout with her husbands
cancer wasnt the first time
that Janice had coped with it.
She was a bit familiar with
cancer procedure because her
mother had also suffered from
the illness.
Unfortunately, eight years
after Nickols had suffered
through the colon cancer, the
ugly disease knocked at his
doorstep once again, this time
in the form of prostate cancer.
I had a blood test; I felt
fine, I didnt feel anything and
I didnt expect anything, but
when the report came back,
they came back and recom-
mended treatment, Nickols
said.
This time Nickols, who had
been employed at Lafarge
Corporation for over 40 years,
underwent a procedure he re-
ferred to as cyber knife, a
form of radiation treatment.
This time his treatment oc-
curred at Parkview North hos-
pital.
Although there were no side
effects from the treatment,
four gold seeds that had been
placed in the prostate to melt
down during his treatment
gave him more pain than he
had imagined.
Im not sure I would have
that done again, said Nickols.
It was very uncomfortable. I
know of people that say that it
didnt bother them, but they
had a difficult time killing my

In the last week of April,
Paulding County OSU Exten -
sion advisor Jim Lopshire had
his concerns as only one per-
cent of the corn and soybean
crop had been planted, due to
excessive April rains.
These days, Lopshire looks
out across the farmland and
smiles. As of this past week-
end, Lopshire estimated that
60-70 percent of the corn had
been put in the fields and 30-
40 percent of the beans had
been planted. Wheat is still up
for grabs, said the extension
agent, but has a good chance
of being at least a good aver-
age crop.
The only thing we need
now is for it to warm up, said
Lopshire. If things continue,
quite a few of the guys could
have their seeds sown by the
end of this week. Now we
need to have the ground to
warm up so the seeds can start
to grow. I wouldnt be sur-
prised but what we might see
some of the earlier corn and
beans starting to break
through the ground by the end
of this week.
Lopshire said that Paulding
County farmers have reported
that the ground is working
well for sowing. Other area
farmers, he said, such as those
in Van Wert County, have
found their ground to be a lit-
tle drier, a little harder than
they would like it.
Around here there has not
been much tillage this spring.
Richard and Janice Nickols enjoy their rural Paulding
County country estate these days, thanks to Gods grace and
Nickols ability to defeat cancer twice. Richard is among the
honorary survivors for this years annual American Cancer
Society Relay For Life. He will help lead the Survivor Lap on
May 31 to open the two-day event.
Area farmers got the break in the weather they needed the past several days. Large machin-
ery has been busy putting this falls crop in the ground.

PAULDING Not everyone is
happy with the Paulding County
commissioners plans to dissolve the
county Emergency Management
Agency agreement and put the EMA
under the jurisdiction of the sheriffs
office.
President of the Ohio Fire Chiefs
Association, Bruce Moritz, said that
the association was not in favor of the
move and would not be until it was
vetted and discussed in a public
forum.
Moritz said that it would open up a
whole new can of worms and he
would like to know the reasoning be-
hind the commissioners decision.
Moritz also said that the Buckeye
State Sheriff Association had told his
agency that they had been approached
by the Ohio County Commissioners
Association who asked them to take
over the EMA duties in Paulding
County.
With regards to the Paulding
County Emergency Management
Agency (EMA), commissioners are
urging members of the groups mem-
ber municipalities to dissolve the
countywide executive EMA board
and allow the agency to be restruc-
tured under their direction.
Commissioners are making visits
to each village council and township
meeting to get each one to sign off
and dissolve Paulding Countys cur-
rent EMA board.
The document that townships and
villages are being asked to sign is
only two sentences long. It gives no

The monarch butterflies need our help
Ive talked about the monarch but-
terflies a few other times in this col-
umn, so regular readers know that
Im one of their biggest fans. It wont
be long before well be seeing them
in our gardens again. The humming-
birds have returned from their win-
tering grounds and the monarchs
arent far behind, having been sight-
ed as far north as Kentucky.
Our recent cold weather may slow
them down a bit, because they cant
fly at temperatures below 50F, but
an even bigger factor is the presence
of milkweed. The caterpillars of the
monarch butterfly feed exclusively
on plants in the Asclepias genus.
The thought of growing milkweed
in your gardens might not appeal to
you, but the monarchs are in trouble
and they depend on milkweed for
their survival. Their habitat is dwin-
dling due to spraying and while I un-
derstand why farmers dont want it
in their fields, roadside mowing,
among other factors, is also con-
tributing to the lack of food sources.
There are many kinds of milk-
weed you can grow other than com-
mon milkweed (Asclepias syriaca)
that are quite attractive. Commonly
known as butterfly weed, A. tuberosa
is a beautiful perennial plant with
clusters of bright orange blooms. It
comes in yellow as well.
Swamp milkweed (A. incarnata),
just one of the varieties that is native
to Ohio, is a taller, branching type
that the monarchs seem to prefer in
my garden to the other milkweeds I
grow. It has a pretty pink bloom and
the leaves are much smaller and thin-
ner than those of common milkweed.
I also like to grow the annual trop-
ical milkweed, also known as scarlet
milkweed. It has a really pretty red
and yellow bloom and Ive found
that the monarchs choose to lay their
eggs on its leaves almost as much as
on those of the swamp milkweed.
This years migrating monarch
count is way down from that of past
years. Cold weather, landslides, and
other factors at their overwintering
grounds in Mexico have wiped out
large numbers of the migrating mon-
archs in the last several years and the
drought we experienced last year re-
duced their habitat.
Like every other living thing on
the earth, the monarchs have a spe-
cific role they play in the cycle of
life. Each kind of plant has specific
pollinators they rely on to keep their
own species going. Its why the cur-
rent problems our honeybees are
having is of great concern, too. All of
life has a symbiotic relationship
each depends on the other to keep an
environmental balance.
Its important to grow an assort-
ment of blooming plants to provide
nectar for adult butterflies, but I hope
youll consider adding even just a lit-
tle bit of milkweed to your gardens
this year too. Youll not only enjoy
seeing the beautiful monarch butter-
fly in your gardens, youll have the
satisfaction of knowing that you are
playing an important part in their
survival.
Last summer, my husband and I
took a walk down our road to the
corner, not even half a mile, and I
checked the small milkweed plants
that I saw in the shallow ditch along
the way, for monarch caterpillars. I
brought home six of them, in various
stages of development, and placed
them on the milkweed in our gar-
dens. The very next day, the road-
sides were mowed.
This reminded me of the story of
the young girl who threw the starfish
back into the sea and someone said
to her, How can throwing one
starfish back possibly make a differ-
ence, with all the hundreds of starfish
there are in the sea? She replied, It
made a difference to that one.

the current equipment at $1,400. A new two-
year lease with two year warranty would cost
$1,350 per year or $2,700 for the two-year lease.
Council unanimously agreed to sign a two-year
lease for new equipment at a cost of $2,700.
Payne resident Mike Denning came before
council seeking permission on a trio of commu-
nity endeavors.
On Aug. 10, Denning and the Good Times
Saloon will host the annual 5K charity run.
Denning also approached the council about hav-
ing a portion of Main Street closed one Wednes -
day night each month to have a cruise-in.
Thirdly, he is planning to improve the garage
located behind the saloon in hopes of making it
into a drive-around that would be open during
early morning hours and evening hours for the
purpose of selling soft drinks, coffee and a vari-
ety of snacks. After hearing his proposals the
council encouraged Denning to move forward
on his plans.
Village resident Nancy Speice informed
council of many lawns near her home that have
been neglected and therefore are in need of
being mowed.
The grass is tall and there are some yards
that have old tires and junk in them and its a
real mess, said Speice. Mayor Smith assured
her that he will contact the police chief.

PAYNE An update concerning the Paulding
County EMA situation, Ohio Department of
Transportation (ODOT) resurfacing projects,
and a new lawn mower lease were part of the
agenda at the Payne Village Council meeting on
Monday night.
Prosecuting Attorney Joe Burkard shared
with the council about the emergency manage-
ment agency and the changes it is taking in new
leadership and coordination through the sher-
iffs department. After discussion, followed by a
time for questions and answers, Burkard gave
the council a resolution template detailing the
new plan in hopes the council would at least in-
form him what their vote would possibly be
concerning the new plan. However, council de-
cided to table any kind of vote until further un-
derstanding and clarification be made in the re-
lationship between the new EMA plan and the
Village of Payne.
Mayor Terry Smith informed the council that
ODOT resurfacing scheduled for 2014 has been
moved to 2015. When done in 2015, the project
will include Ohio 49 inside the village limits and
Ohio 613 west of the corporation limits to 49.
The lawn mower lease the village has with

to breaking through his
colon, said Janice. He didnt
even feel anything.
Concerning his post-colon
surgery, Richard said, Its
okay except it keeps me kind
of close to the house, in case I
have to use the bathroom.
These days, Nickols is back

tired from Lafarge, he still has
a few acres around the family
farm that are his responsibility,
Three Bibles sitting on the
kitchen table define the faith
that has strengthened their

mainly in planting beans.
Nickols lives on ground that
was part of his family heritage.
In fact, he met Janice when
she came from Defiance dur-
ing the summer to visit rela-
tives over there across the
road.
Eventually, he started com-
ing into to Defiance to see me
and we got serious, said
Janice, who noted that they

amendment to Ohio House
Bill 59 that would have al-
lowed county commissioners
to hand over control of the
EMA directorship to control of
the sheriffs department.
One size does not fit all,
she said. This has to be an in-
formed local decision. There
might be counties where it
may be easier for the sheriff to
have control.
She emphasized, however,
that local control requires
input from everyone in the
process.
Fought audibly gasped
when she learned Paulding
County commissioners had
the local EMA board vote to
disband itself with no prior
conversations of the entities
involved.
What I would recommend
to our members is to ask
Why? Are there issues with
the board? Will there be a cost
savings? Has there been
wrongdoing? If there is no ra-
tionale, is this change worth
it? she said.
Why is the change needed
and why do they want con-
trol?
She noted that not only did
her agency not support the
proposed amendment, but
other agencies opposed it as
well, including the Ohio
Association of Chiefs of
Police, Ohio Fire Chiefs
Association and the Ohio
Emergency Management
Association of Ohio.
come necessary to change the
method of providing EMA
services. No plan for a pro-
posed new organization has
been issued. It is not clear
whether local entities would
have any input or control
whatsoever in how the EMA is
operated.
Moritz said, People need to
be informed of the change and
what it will entail. They should
not sign anything until they
understand any repercussions
and basically what is going to
happen. It is going to effect
each police and fire depart-
ment.
The county commissioners
reported there are supervision
issues within the EMA. They
see the current boards over-
sight of the director as inter-
mittent rather than ongoing
and would like to see a
change, according to a discus-
sion held last Monday morn-
ing in their office.
They would also like to see
things done in what they called
a timely fashion.
Commissioner Tony
Zartman said the commission-
ers have been approached by
citizens and first responders
about an ongoing situation,
but refused to elaborate, say-
ing he could not discuss what
was said in executive session.
We have our reasons for
making a change, said Fred
Pieper, chairman of the board
of commissioners. However,
no reason was given.
Paulding County EMA di-
rector Randy Shaffer was ad-
vised in a meeting that he
could retire, resign or get fired.
The commissioners said last
week that we laid out all the
options to him.
On May 9, the Progress pre-
sented the commissioners with
a request pursuant to the Ohio
Records Law, Ohio Revised
Code, 149.43, for copies of
any and all complaints re-
ceived by the county regarding
EMA service or activities over
the past 12 months. This
would include written com-
plaints, emails, phone logs,
meeting minutes and any other
written or electronic docu-
ments.
At press time Tuesday, no
records of any kind had been
released to the Progress.
Shaffer is also unsure that
the actions currently being
taken by the commissioners
are legal, stating that law does
not exempt nor specify that the
EMA director be under the
auspices of the sheriff, but of
either an EMA board or the
commissioners.
Also concerning him is who
the director would be respon-
sible to, the commissioners or
the sheriff, as both are elected
officials.
Shaffer is not only in charge
of the local EMA, but also the
local LEPC and HAZMAT re-
sponse team.
Heidi Fought, director of the
governmental affairs branch of
the Ohio Township
Association, told the Progress
on Friday that her agency op-
posed a recent proposed
Those farmers (Van Wert
County) had to do some tilling
before planting, observed
Lopshire. With no or reduced
tillage, we are able to save the
moisture for the crop.
Time-wise, its a good
time for planting. What we
dont need is many more 34
degree nights, Lopshire said.
The forecast is for much
warmer weather near the end
of the week. That will make a
big difference.
Concerning area wheat,
Lopshire said that plants are
still in the joint stage, so there
is still plenty of time for de-
velopment.
I would think that there is
potential for a good average
crop, Lopshire said.
Long range forecasts are
calling for a slight change in
the weather pattern, with the
6-10 day forecast calling for a
warm-up and an increase in
moisture. The 8-14 projection
is for normal temperatures,
but still above normal precipi-
tation for the end of the
month.
One thing I think most
farmers are feeling is how
nice it would be to have a
more normal-like summer
again, more tranquil, said
Lopshire. The last two sum-
mers have been so extreme. I
think that most of us would
like to have a normal growing
season. Higher grain prices
have been our savior for the
past two years.

Garden
The adult monarch lays each tiny egg singly on a milkweed leaf. About four days later, the
caterpillar hatches out and munches on milkweed for about two weeks. It then forms a
chrysalis, where it takes about 10 days to metamorphose into an adult monarch butterfly. The
adult will live anywhere from 2-6 weeks, except for the last generation of the summer, which
lives 6-8 months. These will fly to Mexico where they will enter diapause for the winter, then re-
turn to the southern U.S., mate, and lay eggs the following spring. They die shortly after and the
next generation continues the spring migration northward.
This two-sentence resolution is one that the Paulding County commissioners are asking the
countys 11 villages and 12 townships to sign in an attempt to dissolves the countys current
EMA board and place it under the sheriffs jurisdiction.

brothers, Ronald Tuffy,
Roy, Paul Ray, Charles
Chuck, James Pete and
Herb Devers.
Those remaining to cele-
brate her life as well as re-
member her many letters of
encouragement and laughter
are her many friends and fam-
ily of two brothers, Glenn
(Nick) Devers of Piqua and
Richard (Dick) Devers of
Cleveland; two sisters, Dene
(Carter) Wilson of Port Char-
lotte, Fla. and Norma Jean
(Peg) Brown of Anacortes,

Edith was a long time
member of the Zion United
Methodist Church of Grover
Hill, the Cornerstone Church
of God, and the First Church
of God on Carter Road. Her
works in the church and in
life were many and varied.
But from starting as a nurse-
maid and cleaning girl at the
age of 13 for her grandfather,
owning a restaurant, to retir-
ing as a licensed practical
nurse at the Paulding Hospi-
tal, she was faithful and per-
sistent. All who knew her
were touched in a special
way.
Visitation will be at the
Schaffer Funeral Home in
Defiance on Friday, May 17
from 3-7 p.m. and one hour
prior to the service on Satur-
day.
A homecoming celebration
and memorial service will be
held at the First Church of
God on Carter Road on Satur-
day, May 18 at 11 a.m. with
the Rev. Rick Rufenacht offi-
ciating.
Thank you to all for re-
membering our mother. Me-
morial donations may be
made to the Zion Methodist
Church of Grover Hill or to
the First Church of God of De-
fiance.

The Amish Cook
By: Lovina Eicher
souls, started following in-
structions for baptism, so we
went in Jerrys honor.
We had surprise visitors
Monday evening. Our friends
Terry and Mary from Plain-
field, Ind. stopped by to visit.
They had their friend, Lor-
raine, along who is a faithful
reader of this column. It was
a pleasure to meet her and to
also visit with Terry and
Mary again.
My sewing machine and
also daughter, Elizabeths,
were sold to us by Terry. He
is our fix-it man when we
need tune ups or repairing
done. In fact, while Terry was
here, Elizabeth had him give
her machine a tune-up.
Dandelion blooms are
starting to pop up here and
there which will soon put an
end to the dandelion greens
until next year. Once the
flowers are blooming the
greens taste too bitter to use.
Asparagus, rhubarbs and
strawberries will be the next
goodies we look forward to.
We have been having winter
onions already. The horserad-
ish is coming up nicely and
also we can see the tea plants
coming through the soil.
Last night daughter Loretta,
12, decided she will grill the
meat for our supper. Son Ben-
jamin, 13, helped her get the
7 a.m. and the children just
left for school. My husband,
Joe, has been at work several
hours already and daughter,
Elizabeth, left for her job at
5:15 a.m.
Joe tilled part of the garden
last night. Daughter Susan,
17, and I, want to get some
garden planted today. Spring
is such a lovely time of the
year, but has a lot of work in-
volved. Susan mowed our
grass on Saturday for the first
time this year. Last year we
were mowing in March al-
ready due to the early spring
we had.
Congratulations go to
nephew Noah and Ruby.
They have set their wedding
day for June 11. I have to help
cook at their wedding. Looks
like more sewing, but thats
one way of getting more
dresses sewed for me which I
need anyway.
Rubys mother, Lydia, is my
cousin, so it will be nice to
visit and work with some
cousins at this wedding. Noah
is Joes oldest sister Mary
Anns son.
Last week our horse Ginger
gave birth to twin foals. We
were disappointed that none
of them lived. We are anx-
iously waiting on Itty Bit to
deliver hers any day and hop-
ing everything will be OK.
Tomorrow night the fourth
graders will have their portfo-
lio presentations and meet
with the middle school teach-
ers. It is so hard to believe
Joseph will be in middle
school next term. That will
only leave our 2 youngest :
Lovina, 8, and Kevin, 7, in el-
ementary.
A reminder to us that time
does not stand still. May we
use our time wisely in a way
that is pleasing to God and
not self.
We attended church serv-
ices in Indiana on Sunday. Its
always interesting to visit
other communities and meet
new people. Joe is friends
with Jerry, one of the boys in
that church district. Jerry,
along with four other young
grill going. Loretta grilled hot
wings and hamburgers. I made
macaroni and cheese to go with
that. We also had homemade
bread and cinnamon rolls that I
made earlier in the day. Also
Verena, 15, made chocolate
chip cookies and Loretta made
peanut butter cookies after
school.
The sun is shining in the
east. Looks like a perfect day to
plant the garden. I enjoy plant-
ing and can go bare-footed in
the soft soil. The ground had
been too cold so far. Lots of
strawberry varieties to enjoy
this time of year, perfect for
this pie.

Cooper Farms opens Fox Tail Sow Farm
HICKSVILLE Cooper
Farms is proud to announce
the completion of their
newest addition, Fox Tail
Sow Farm. The new farm
will be home to just under
2,500 mother pigs, which
will give birth to approxi-
mately 1,300 baby pigs each
week.
Fox Tail is Cooper Farms
first venture into Defiance
County, one which will pro-
vide at least 11 new full-
time jobs and use
approximately 90,000
bushels of corn purchased
from local farmers each
year.
We are pleased to be en-
tering into Defiance
County, said Eric Ludwig,
Cooper Farms director of
corporate development.
This is a great area, with
wonderful neighbors and a
strong sense of community.
Building a farm in this area
is something we have
wanted for many years, so
we are excited to finally be-
come a part of it and gain
team members from this
area.
Fox Tail is among the first
of its kind in the area, utiliz-
ing group pen gestation for
sow housing and an innova-
tive electronic feeding sys-
tem. This system allows the
sows to have free movement
in a group setting, while
providing individualized
feeding information about
each sow. The electronic
tags will provide informa-
tion about how much each
sow is eating and drinking,
allowing the farm team to
still tend to sows individual
needs.
This new housing and
feeding system is an innova-
tive step forward, said
Terry Wehrkamp, Cooper
Farms director of live pro-
duction. It provides a spa-
cious environment for the
sows, but still allows us to
have the individualized in-
formation we need to ensure
that each sow is healthy and
getting the proper nutrition.
We have spent several years
trying different group hous-
ing and feeding methods at
our farms, so we know this
is the best-fitting system all
around.
Cooper Farms made a
point to work predomi-
nantly with local businesses
and contractors for the con-
struction of the farm. Over
40 contractors took part in
the construction, doing any-
thing from pouring concrete
to electrical work.
The Cooper family has
always tried to do things
local and give back to the
area any way they can, said
Bud Koenig, Cooper Farms
director of facilities and
maintenance. We work a
lot with local contractors
and business to maintain our
current properties, so it is
only natural to work with
local individuals when
building a new farm.
To protect the health of
the animals and the team
members, Fox Tail is a
shower in/out farm, mean-
ing that anyone entering the
barns must fully shower to
enter or exit, washing away
any bacteria or viruses that
may have been carried on
their clothing or body.
The farm sits on approxi-
mately 25 acres and will be
able to provide natural fer-
tilizer for 165 acres of crop-
land.
Cooper Farms recently opened Fox Tail Sow Farm near Hicksville. The facility is Cooper Farms
first in Defiance County.

Seeking childs
lost Schnauzers
Dear Editor
On May 4, my great-grand-
sons Miniature Schnauzer
dogs got out of their enclosure,
and took a grand tour of the
Oakwood Park. That is the last
they were seen. It is our
thought, they may have been
picked up and are being cared
for. If this is the case, please
give one of these numbers a
call. These dogs have been the
childs pet for eight years, and
he is very distraught. The
white female answers to
Snowball. The black male an-
swers to Spike.

Dog warden
issue is of
grave concern
To the Editor and all Paulding
County residents,
Please express your concern
about the firing of Georgia
Dyson, who has been the dog
warden.
When we moved to Pauld-
ing County from Fort Wayne,
over 10 years ago, every cat
was euthanized automatically
if it was turned in to the animal
shelter. I have this on the au-
thority of the person who took
over the job.
Dogs were euthanized fre-
quently.
When you scrutinize the ar-
ticles published this past week
concerning the changing of au-
thority to the law department
you are eliminating two posi-
tions that have been beneficial

to all of us. In these times, it is
of grave concern when such a
position is removed and the
functions delegated to a de-
partment with other responsi-
bilities.
There is no reason that this
outstanding person should not
retain her job. It is evident that
she is capable of handling her-
self in any stressful situation.
And that no dogs have been
murdered ... euthanasia is just a
Band-Aid word for killing. We
who care about animals care
about what happens to Georgia
Dyson!
Let the police take care of
the barking dog calls and those
about possible cruelty or neg-
lect. Or let them accompany
her to do her work and rein-
force her position in difficult
situations.
Please write or call the
county commissioners about
this.
Thank you, Paulding
Progress for being the Voice of
the People.

Class appreciates
prom advisors
Dear Editor,
The Paulding High School
Junior Class would like to
thank Mr. Shawn Gerber and
Mrs. Sandy Dobbelaere for
being our prom advisors. They
both have gone above and be-
yond what was expected. They
have spent countless hours or-
ganizing and decorating for
prom.
Mr. Gerber was our fund-
raising guru. Without him we
would not have had enough
money to buy the decorating
supplies and our prom would
have been super unorganized.
Mrs. Dobbelaere was our art
genius. She can create any-
thing with cardboard, paint and
glue. We came in on Saturdays
and after school to make all of
our decorations.
The junior class appreciates
everything that they both have
done for us. They helped us
raise money even when we
had to set up at cold, rainy
football games. Without their
help, our prom would not have
been as awesome and success-
ful as it was. We will all re-
member our prom as the best
prom ever and we couldnt
have done it without them.

Teen outraged
over county dog
warden decision
Dear Editor,
In reference to the county
commissioners decision about
the Paulding County dog war-
den, I am outraged! I do not
believe that the commissioners
should be allowed to make
such an important decision
without the input of the citi-
zens! This decision, in my
opinion and many other Pauld-
ing County citizens, is being
put in the wrong hands.
My concerns on the matter
are most definitely put toward
the animals and what will hap-
pen to them after the sheriffs
office takes control. While
Georgia Dyson has been in her
position, she has done a won-
derful job with the animals.
She has taken great care of the
animals and kept them happy.
She has found homes for the
animals or taken them to res-
cues to be taken care of. After
the sheriffs office takes con-
trol what will happen to the an-
imals, will they do as good of a
job as Georgia? Will it be a kill
shelter? Are they going to meet
the needs of the animals?
Another concern of mine
is what we will be paying
for the sheriffs office to
have a deputy take this job?
Will the taxes increase? Or
will it be the prices of our
dog tags? The people do not
know and they have the right
to know. Just as they have
the right to have a say in the
decision of letting Georgia
go!
I would like to include that I
am 14 years old. This decision
is not just affecting Georgia
and her family, it is affecting
people all over Paulding
County! It is also affecting
people of all ages! Many peo-
ple are unhappy about the de-
cision and I hope the Paulding
County commissioners will
please listen to their citizens.

Defendants request dismissal of
Essen House, Manor House complaint
By DENISE GEBERS
Progress Staff Writer
PAULDING Attorney Ian
A. Weber, representing Essen
House Restaurant Ltd. and
Manor House Assisted Living
Ltd., has filed an answer to
Antwerp Holdings LLCs third
amended complaint requesting
dismissal by Paulding County
Court of Common Pleas.
The two-page document
filed May 2, denies all but three
allegations made in the
amended complaint which
asked for judgment against the
two in the sum of $579,245.63.
The request is based on a claim
of unjust enrichment and would
cover back rent.
Additionally, the plaintiff is
seeking prejudgment interest
on that sum plus all other just
and proper relief in the prem-
ises.
Both businesses were for-
merly housed in the property
now occupied by Vancrest of
Antwerp LLC.
Antwerp Holdings alleged in
the complaint that it held a lease
with TDM3 Ltd. for the prop-
erty in question, bearing ad-
dresses on Archer Drive and
Woodcox Street in Antwerp. It
further said that entity allowed
Manor House and Essen House
to take possession of the prop-
erty without the consent of the
landowner or a lease with them.
Further allegations say nei-
ther business paid rent to the
plaintiff during their time in the
premises owned by Antwerp
Holdings.
The amended complaint also
includes TDM3 Ltd. plus Louis
and Mary Lengacher as defen-
dants.
The Lengachers attorney
filed his answer on April 23,
denying all allegations in the
complaint, stating that all
claims of the plaintiff have been
discharged in bankruptcy and
saying the document does not
state a claim against his clients
upon which relief can be
granted.
Motions regarding the re-
maining issues of this case were
to be filed by May 3 with re-
sponses due by May 17. A May
23 hearing on all these matters
was set.

In My Opinion
Get out of jail free
During a heated game of Monopoly is the only place
someone should be granted a get out of jail free card. Would
you agree? But pay careful attention because that is just what
is happening in part of northwest Ohio. Check out the head-
lines and partial story from Indianas News Center 33 written
by Maureen Mespell and broadcast Aug. 14, 2012:
Northwest Ohio corrections center fighting overcrowding
(Indianas NewsCenter) The Correction Center of
Northwest Ohio is bursting at the seams and is asking judges
in Williams, Defiance, Henry and Fulton counties to help re-
duce its prison population.
None of those four counties
have jails of their own and
have turned to the correction
center to house inmates.
That brings me to the
point of this story and to my
opinion. We have a new jail
in Paulding and yet for a
couple of years we have been transporting Paulding County
inmates to jail facilities in other counties at an enormous ex-
pense to Paulding County citizens. We are paying for these
inmates care, housing and transportation in another county.
This means money is leaving Paulding County to pay for jail
facilities that we have sitting empty. My opinion is that this
is like going out and renting the house next door and leaving
the one you own sitting empty.
In my opinion, we need to forget the past problems and
move on to getting our unused jail up and running. This
would create jobs in Paulding County for a number of peo-
ple, not miles away in another county, but right here at home.
Opening the jail would certainly help the areas prison
overcrowding problem as the facility would be utilized to
take care of some of Paulding Countys growing population
of inmates.
Here is the challenge we want to present to the Paulding
County commissioners, judges, and sheriff in that at our last
meeting of the Eastern Paulding County Ministerial Associa-
tion, we voted unanimously to support getting the Paulding
County Jail up and running with the presence of a jail chap-
lain and other spiritual leadership in both the set up and oper-
ation of the facility. We would like to meet with county
officials and discuss the possibilities.
What about it Paulding County would someone else like
to step forward with other assistance?
I hope to see you in church this Sunday; we might have
something in common.

Shared Work program
provides alternatives to
traditional layoffs
Legislation that passed out
of the Ohio House in April
helps businesses and employ-
ees manage layoffs in a way
that softens the blow for
everyone involved. Rather
than having to face being let
go, under what is called
SharedWork Ohio, a worker
can remain
employed and
simply have
some hours
cut back.
The workers
whose hours
are cut con-
tinue to earn
normal pay for
regular hours,
but they can
collect unem-
ployment for
the hours they
no longer
work.
Consider the difference.
Someone who is laid off loses
that source of income and has
to look for another job. But
under a shared work system,
that individual can continue to
learn the skills of the job and
earn a paycheck. Because the
unemployment benefits are
only a small part of the equa-
tion under this program, it also
puts less strain on Ohios un-
employment compensation
system.
SharedWork Ohio is not an
attempt to somehow defeat the
laws of economics. What the
program does is simply pro-
vide other avenues for making
decisions during difficult
times. The hope is that these
other avenues will help busi-
nesses weather the storm of
tough economic conditions
without having to resort to
mass layoffs.
As with many pieces of leg-
islation, it is important that
there be proper oversight so
that the system is not abused.
Employers who wish to partic-
ipate in the program must sub-
mit a plan to the director of the
Ohio Department of Job and
Family Services. The plan
must be proposed in lieu of
layoffs and
cannot be
greater than
the cost of a
t r adi t i onal
layoff. In
other words,
e mp l o y e r s
cannot take
advantage of
the Shared-
Work Ohio
program as a
way to make
more money.
But it does
give busi-
nesses the opportunity to take
a more moderate stance. Busi-
ness owners have to make dif-
ficult decisions in order to
remain competitive, but
SharedWork Ohio allows
those employers to take a
more moderate approach
when making these choices.
Twenty-five other states
have already adopted shared
work policies to help them
deal with unemployment con-
cerns. By becoming the 26th,
I think Ohio is providing extra
stability to a situation that can
sometimes be very painful for
families.

Melrose Village
released from
fiscal emergency
COLUMBUS Auditor of State Dave Yost on May 9 re-
leased the Village of Melrose from fiscal emergency, a status
it has held since 2008.
The Village of Melrose was placed in fiscal emergency on
Dec. 17, 2008 due to deficit fund balances in two funds and a
treasury deficit.
To eliminate its fiscal emergency status, the Village of Mel-
rose enacted a 1 percent income tax increase in 2010 to in-
crease revenue by $18,000 annually, as well as a $5 permissive
license tax to generate an additional $1,000 annually.
The village also sold some of its equipment for $8,600. By
turning off approximately half of its street lights, the village
saves approximately $2,945 each year.
To be released from fiscal emergency, the Village of Melrose
met the following criteria:
Adopted and implemented an effective financial account-
ing and reporting system;
Corrected or eliminated all of the fiscal emergency con-
ditions and no new conditions have occurred, and it appears
that, based on its five-year forecast, the Village of Melrose will
remain out of fiscal emergency during the forecast period;
Met the major objectives of the financial recovery plan;
and
Prepared a five-year forecast in accordance with stan-
dards issued by the Auditor of State, and the opinion expressed
by the Auditor of State is nonadverse.
A full copy of this fiscal emergency termination may be ac-
cessed online at www.ohioauditor.gov.

Oakwood joins in terminating
county EMA structure
By BILL SHERRY
Correspondent
OAKWOOD Oakwood
Village Council met Monday,
May 13, and discussed a wide
variety of issues including a
change in the county EMA,
spring cleanup, and complaints
on tall grass, junk and junk
cars.
County Commissioner Tony
Zartman presented council
with a proposal to change the
Emergency Management
Agency (EMA) from its origi-
nal structure created at its in-
ception in 1989. The change
would involve terminating the
1989 structure of the EMA and
give Mayor Erhard Bud
Henke the authority to sign for
the Village of Oakwoods ac-
ceptance of this termination.
Council unanimously ap-
proved the resolution and
Henke signed it. Zartman said
that all the villages and town-
ships he had visited with the
proposal had signed it. Zart-
man stated that the proposal
would get more activities from
the EMA regarding service and
training.
The topic of a spring cleanup
day for the village was again
discussed and it was deter-
mined that the project is still in
the planning stage. The cleanup
day will be scheduled for the
first week of June.
Henke commented that vil-
lage administrator John Keyes
should check with the local
Boy Scout Troop to see if they
are willing to assist with mon-
itoring the cleanup day. Keyes
will order the dumpsters and
the village will pay for the
usage.
The paperwork for the three
houses scheduled for demoli-
tion is now complete and the
actual demolition should pro-
ceed in a few days.
There was a complaint con-
cerning lawn mowing and trash
at various locations around the
village. Mayor Henke asked
council to make a list of all the
properties in the village that
needed attention and a list
would be compiled for action
at the next meeting.
These complaints were ac-
companied by several inopera-
ble car complaints. Council
President Todd Dangler told
council that he would look up
the ordinance and have it ready
for the next meeting.
Keyes told council that the
first dock has been installed in
the river and he hopes to get the
other one in before Memorial
Day.
Keyes also stated that he had
to remove one of the old water
well pumps that was about 13
years old. Keyes stated that the
normal life of a pump is 10
years.
Council unanimously passed
the village property insurance
plan for this year. The insur-
ance plan, known as the Ohio
Plan, will cost the village
$21,879 which is slightly
higher than last year due to a 3
percent property value increase
and the addition of the gas con-
nections. The village has been
using Ohio Plan for 17 years
and was given a credit of
$2,235 for their years with
the plan. The village also has
accumulated two hours of
legal service through the
plan.
The next regular meeting
would normally be at 6:30
p.m. on May 27; however,
that is Memorial Day. There
was no discussion at the
meeting concerning changing
the date. Mayor Henke com-
mented later that they will
reschedule the meeting and
make an announcement.

A Penny For
Your Thoughts....
By: Nancy Whitaker
UNDERSTANDING WOMEN
Have men ever really un-
derstood women or know
what they like? A lot of men
say they have never under-
stood us and probably never
will. I know there are things I
like a man to do and generally
speaking some guys may not
have a clue what I am talking
about.
Now, some women may
find a guy who really under-
stands them and knows their
needs, so this column is in no
way meant for them. To those
I say, Great and thank you in
your quest to understand the
female.
I am not speaking for all
women, but sometimes do
you feel that your boyfriend,
husband, fianc or significant
other does not know things
you like, want and need?
Could it be that men are
backward, really dont know,
dont care or takes his lady
for granted? It is okay to be
taken for granted sometimes,
but it grows tiring after a
while.
First of all, women like to
be told they are liked, loved,
pretty and desirable. Single
men may dream about a cer-
tain woman, but if he doesnt
let them know that he is inter-
ested, he may as well keep on
dreaming.
Married men on the other
hand may be sometimes lax
in noticing their wifes new
hair cut, how nice she looks
in those jeans or what a deli-
cious dinner she cooked. Per-
sonally, I like to be told and
feel like I am appreciated for
my efforts. Dont you?
Contrary to what some men
may believe, very few
women, single or married, ac-
tually want to be the initiator.
We like to be pursued, so pur-
sue us! Get a little frisky and
let us know we are still desir-
able.
If we cook something you
may not especially like,
please dont say, Its all
right, but I wouldnt want to
eat it everyday. Why not say,
I know you really went to a
lot of trouble to cook that din-
ner, but I really didnt care for
it.
Women like to be thought
of in little ways. We like to
know when you are thinking
of us by perhaps a telephone
call or a little note.
Men take some initiative
and take care of things with-
out us asking. Even if it is
something as simple as taking
out the trash, do it before we
bring it up.
Notice the small things and
pay attention to the things we
like. Learn what our favorite
flower is or how we drink our
coffee. Show your lady you
care enough to take notice.
It is always important to
know the date of our birthday
and anniversary. Even if you
have to write it down, it is
very important you know
those dates.
Chivalry is not dead. Men
who open the door for ladies
still exist. Be one of them.
Understand that we need a
girls night out just as much
as you need to spend time
with the guys. I like to refer
to this as me time.
Tell us were beautiful
even when we arent, wipe
the tears from our eyes when
we cry, bring us a cup of cof-
fee or tea without asking if
we want it, cuddle us, laugh
with us, defend us and hold
our hand.
I like decision makers.
While I definitely want to be
consulted in the process, I
like a man to step up and fi-
nalize decisions.
Expect the unexpected.
While this list is meant to
help you understand us, un-
derstand that you will never
completely understand us.
Do you think men will ever
understand women? Does
your other half do any of
these things or remember any
of them? Let me know and
Ill give you a Penny for
Your Thoughts.

143608OHO/4-13/8062
When purchasing a property,
sometimes a simple physical
walkthrough will not be
enough to know exactly
what you are purchasing.
For example, some parcels
of real estate may come with
restrictions and covenants.
Buying anything with the
word restriction may give
you some hesitation. If
youre like me, you dont
like to have strings at-
tached. While, restrictions
and covenants can serve use-
ful purposes, it is better to
know what youre buying
before the closing.
Restrictions
Put simply, a restriction pro-
hibits you from doing some-
thing on your land. In the
city, it may mean that you
cant build too close to the
street or your neighbors
house. In the country, it may
mean that you cant build a
livestock facility on your
farm ground. That last ex-
ample may surprise you.
But if you decide to sell off
the farm ground that sur-
rounds your home, you may
want to sell it with the
knowledge that the ground
will continue to be used for
grain-related purposes only.
Therefore, a building restric-
tion may be written into the
deed that, for example, pro-
hibits any future owner from
raising a certain number of
animals on the property.
Covenants
Covenants are similar to re-
strictions except that they
generally relate to groups of
properties. For example,
many subdivisions adopt
covenants at the beginning of
development. You can see
how this provides confidence
especially to an early builder.
An early homeowner can be
confident that the next home
will be built according to the
same set of rules. For exam-
ple, some neighborhoods
may require that homes are
approximately the same size
or they require each home-
owner contribute a certain
amount of money each year
to maintain a common play-
ground. Any future owner is
obligated to pay the same fee
because this covenant runs
with the landany new
owner will responsible just
as the old owner, even if the
new deed omits any mention
of the covenant.
Bottom Line
Before you buy any property,
a title search for the property
should be performed by an
attorney who understands
how to discover and interpret
the legal rights attached to a
property. It is far better to
know your rights before you
buy a property than to dis-
cover a restriction that inter-
feres with your plans after
youve already closed on the
real estate.

DHI Correspondent
VAN WERT On May 2, Vantage Career
Center Board of Education welcomed special
guests from Columbus, Peck Schaffer bond
counselors Ed Cavezza and Ross Sinclair and
Associates bond underwriter Omar Ganoom, to
discuss the possibility of refunding the Build
America bonds that the school received for their
recently completed construction and renovation
project.
With the governments possible sequestration
on June 1, the government has pulled back on
the incentive of these Build America bonds,
said Superintendent Staci Kaufman. We are
preparing for that just in case because it is an ex-
tensive process to refund those bonds. The
bonds received by Vantage marked only two per-
cent of the Build America bonds.
Ganoom as bond writer played a instrumental
piece in securing this possible refunding, as a
clause was placed in the contract to get out if
need be. Kaufman is now very thankful for the
quality support and work that was provided to
Vantage as it may now bring significant savings
to the school district.
Both Ganoom and Cavezza were present at
the meeting to answer any remaining questions.
While nothing can be done until June 1, the
school wants to be ready to pursue this refund of
bonds and veer in a different direction once pur-
sued. Build America recently reduced the
amount of savings provided by these bonds
which has also pushed Vantage to look at a dif-
ferent route for funding.
Kaufman believes this change of direction
could bring significant savings to the district but
exact estimates are unknown at this time.

What kind of a son or
daughter have you been to
your mother?
I read this week about two
children who ordered their
mother to stay in bed one
Mothers Day morning. As
she lay there looking forward
to breakfast in bed, the smell
of bacon floated up from the
kitchen.
After a good long wait, she
finally went downstairs to in-
vestigate. She found them
both sitting at the table eating
bacon and eggs.
Its a surprise for Mothers
Day, one explained, We de-
cided to cook our own break-
fast.
What kind of a son or
daughter have you been to
your mother?
My mother and I didnt al-
ways get along when I was
young. Maybe it was a per-
sonality conflict, maybe it
was because I brought back
sad and what must have been
difficult memories.
There had been the death of
an older sibling, a catatonic
breakdown that led to my
mom being institutionalized,
or maybe it was the fact that
she gave birth to me in that
hospitals psychiatric ward.
Whatever led to our battles,
the exchange of hateful, re-
gretful words and other stuff,
I never knew what it meant to
love and honor my mother
until the day Jesus Christ
came into my life.
I came to love my mother,
to respect her, her courageous
decision as a very young
mother to leave her home, her
native Canada to raise her
family in the United States.
Well into college I made ef-
forts to learn to love her, to
pray for her and above all, to
ask Jesus to help me be the
son that I never was but
should have been.
Though I should have and
could have been more of an
example, when I became a
Christian, I prayed for my
mother and when I learned of
her death I buried my face in
my wifes arms and I wept
and wept.
My bed became the altar
for my tears and the Lord
gave me the courage and joy
to do one more thing for my
mom though she had passed
on. God put a message in my
heart and at the request of my
mother before she died, I
preached her funeral.
This mothers day I beg
you to recall with me the
scriptures admonition to chil-
dren, Ephesians 6:1-3 (NIV),
Children, obey your parents
in the Lord, for this is right.
(2) Honor your father and
mother which is the first com-
mandment with a promise (3)
that it may go well with you
and that you may enjoy long
life on the ear.th. Amen.

The Paulding Progress &
Weekly Reminder

QUESTION: Im con-
cerned about my little girls
selfish attitude. How do I
discourage this behavior
and help her develop a
grateful heart?
JIM: Yours is a question to
which almost every parent,
me included, can relate. The
answer depends upon your
daughters age. Smaller kids
may be too young to under-
stand ideas like unselfishness
and gratitude.
Theyre still in the process
of grasping what it means to
be an individual self distin-
guishable from the rest of the
world around them. If your
daughter is only 5 or 6 years
old, theres probably no rea-
son to be overly concerned
about her behavior.
Its a different matter where
older children are concerned.
This is when many parents
begin to realize the impact of
our materialistic, consumer-
driven culture. Advertisers
and toy manufacturers arent
in the business of helping
moms and dads teach con-
cepts like contentment and
thankfulness.
From their perspective,
kids are a lucrative market
sector, and they design their
publicity campaigns accord-
ingly. As a result, children are
conditioned to believe that
theyre entitled to have every-
thing they want, right now!
The best way we as parents
can counter this is by model-
ing a grateful and selfless at-
titude ourselves. As we go
through our daily routines,
we should remember to ex-
press gratitude on a regular
basis even for simple things.
Convey thankfulness to
friends, family and cowork-
ers, and not just when they do
something special for you.
Let people know how much
you appreciate them just for
who they are.
Another way to encourage
gratitude is by serving others
who are less fortunate. Volun-
teer to serve meals at a local
rescue mission. Visit shut-ins
at a nursing home, or sponsor
a poor child in a third-world
country. This will increase
your familys awareness of
their blessings while getting
in touch with the needs of
people around the world.
QUESTION: Grandma and
Grandpa are spoiling my
children. They give them
whatever they want, some-
times in complete disregard
of my wishes. How do I ad-
dress this without alienating
my parents?
Leon Wirth, executive di-
rector of Parenting and
Youth: Almost every grand-
parent occasionally
overindulges their grandchil-
dren. Theres usually little
harm in this as long as every-
one understands that such oc-
casions are to be viewed as
exceptions and dont become
expectations. Your reference,
however, to Grandma and
Grandpas complete disre-
gard of your wishes leads
me to think that you may be
dealing with a bigger issue. If
theyre deliberately under-
By Jim Daly
mining your authority as a
parent, you need to take deci-
sive steps to address the prob-
lem and soon.
I suggest you get a baby-
sitter and schedule a dinner
out with your parents. Begin
the conversation by letting
them know how much you
love and appreciate them.
Then explain that some-
things come up that youd
like to discuss.
Tell them you are working
hard to teach your children
the importance of obedience,
discipline and respect for au-
thority. Explain that although
you appreciate their generos-
ity toward your kids, you feel
that their actions are hurting
your efforts. Identify some
specific incidents and share
how this made you feel as a
parent. Provide reasons for
the rules youve established
and help them understand
why you feel its important to
maintain a consistent stan-
dard.
Finally, before having this
conversation, take time to
consider things from their
perspective. If they grew up
in depressed circumstances or
lower-income homes, they
may be simply trying to com-
pensate for their own child-
hood deprivations by
lavishing luxuries on your
kids.
Its difficult to say how
they will react. They may feel
hurt for a while, but its criti-
cal that you address the issue
before even greater resent-
ment is allowed to build.

By Jim Lopshire
OSU Extension educator
Soybean producers have a
list of weeds that cause the
most yield loss from competi-
tion for light, nutrients, and
water. This list is a result of a
fall weed survey completed by
OSU Extension personnel in
various counties around the
state. The survey determines
the weed species not con-
trolled in an herbicide/weed
management program.
In Paulding County, 90 soy-
bean fields were surveyed in
2012 prior to harvest to deter-
mine which weed species were
most often not controlled dur-
ing the regular season. The top
soybean weed problems iden-
tified in the survey were com-
mon ragweed, common
lambsquarters and marestail.
Marestail is quickly estab-
lishing itself as the newest
weed problem in northwest
Oho. In 2012, five northwest
Ohio counties reported 50% or
more or their fields surveyed
as having large patches of 8 or
more plants scattered in the
field.
Marestail has quickly be-
come a problem weed because
seeds only germinate on or
near the soil surface. No-till
soybeans planted into corn-
stalks without any tillage pro-
vide an ideal environment for
germination and early growth.
Tillage would bury the seeds
and prevent germination and
emergence.
Young plants will remain in
a low-growing rosette stage
through late April, followed by
stem elongation or bolting and
growth to an upright mature
plant. Plants that emerge the
previous fall will start bolting
earlier than spring-emerging
plants. Pictures of marestail at
various growth stages can be
found at
www.ppws.vt.edu/scott/weed_
id/erica.htm.
The control problem occurs
because glyphosate is not ef-
fective on marestail plants that
have already bolted and pro-
duced elongating stems higher
than six inches. In addition,
many marestail populations
have become glyphosate re-
Marestail establishing
itself as weed problem
sistant.
Herbicide programs must
consist of a spring burndown
to ensure soybean fields are
free of marestail by planting
time and residual pre-emer-
gent herbicides to ensure
marestail control for another
six to eight weeks. Their
spring burndown should be a
mix of glyphosate and another
herbicide to ensure that the
field is free of marestail at the
time of soybean planting and
prevent the development of
herbicide resistant weeds. The
herbicide 2,4-D is probably
the most effective, however,
farmers are reluctant to use
2,4-D because in order to pre-
vent crop injury they have to
wait at least seven days before
they can plant soybeans.
The extension publication,
Control of Marestail in No-till
Soybeans, provides specific
information on herbicide se-
lection, timing and rates. This
fact sheet may be found at:

cialists/weeds/marestail/mare

Cooper Farms rebuilds tom
turkey farm after June storm
OAKWOOD Cooper Farms has recently
finished rebuilding their Apple Creek Tom
Turkey Farm after the June 29, 2012 storm
heavily damaged the original buildings, built
in 1985. Apple Creek houses nearly half of
Cooper Farms tom turkeys used for breeding.
While the storm of June 29th was very dis-
ruptive to our routine farming operations, our
team rallied to make the best of the situation,
said Terry Wehrkamp, Cooper Farms director
of live production. We looked at reconstruc-
tion as an opportunity to make some changes
to the 25-year-old barns and utilize the most
up-to-date technologies in environmental con-
trols. Construction was focused on providing
the best animal care possible and ease of op-
eration for our team members.
The two new barns have a size of 40 feet by
170 feet and will house approximately 1,000
toms (male turkeys) each. The farm utilizes
state-of-the-art equipment for full climate con-
trol of the barns, fitted with alarms to monitor
environmental conditions. New automatic
start generators have been installed for unin-
terrupted electrical service to maintain all en-
vironmental conditions.
The original barns were separated and re-
quired team members to shower in and out of
each barn. The new construction allowed
Cooper Farms to have a shower house and lab,
which now connects to the barns.
The new layout is really a great addition to
the farm, said Brian Donley, turkey division
manager. It will really improve biosecurity
and make things much easier for our team
members.
The lab is used to test and prepare the tom
semen for transportation to hen farms. All
Cooper Farms turkeys are artificially insemi-
nated and Apple Creek services nearly 40,000
hens per week.
Apple Creek Farm employs five full-time
team members and a manager. Cooper Farms
worked with Homan Equipment of Maria
Stein, A-1 Ag of Fort Recovery and several
other local contractors and suppliers to com-
plete the construction of the farm.
While the barns were in disrepair following
the storm last June, the Cooper team is proud
to say that no turkeys were injured. Apple
Creek is one of the original Cooper farms,
which housed hens for Virgil Cooper before it
was renovated in 1985 to house breeding
toms.

Lincoln Highway day trip
for history buffs planned
VAN WERT The Van Wert Area Conven-
tion and Visitors Bureau, in recognition of the
100th birthday of the Lin-
coln Highway, has organ-
ized a bus trip along the
historic route from Convoy
to Bucyrus for Saturday,
June 29.
The trip will be led by
local Lincoln Highway his-
torian Larry Webb, who
will share personal experi-
ences and interesting sto-
ries about growing up on
the Lincoln Highway as a
boy. Points of interest will
be highlighted with short
stops and photo opportuni-
ties are several locations
along the way.
Local amateur historians
know the important role the
Lincoln Highway played in the growth and de-
velopment of the Van Wert area. It brought not
only cross-country travelers, but it also en-
couraged the establishment of gas stations,
restaurants, retail businesses, and lodging fa-
cilities. As these businesses flourished, other
entrepreneurs saw Van Wert as a location for
their businesses and soon residents were living
in a thriving community.
The cost of the trip is $25
per person. Participants will
meet at Lincoln Ridge Farm,
north of Convoy, at 11 a.m. A
box lunch is included in the
cost of the trip. The tour will
then proceed along the Lincoln
Highway through Van Wert,
Delphos, Gomer, Cairo,
Beaverdam, Upper Sandusky,
Oceola and Bucyrus.
On the return trip the group
will stop at the Steer Barn in
Upper Sandusky for dinner.
The price of the meal is not in-
cluded in the cost of the trip as
participants will order from the
menu and pay individually.
The group should return to
Lincoln Ridge Farm by 8:30 p.m.
Deadline for reservations is May 21. If you
are interested in being part of this trip, or have
additional questions, please call the CVB of-
fice at 419-238-9378 to give your contact in-
formation.

Sectional Softball
7-3 tournament win
for Lady Archers
By JOE SHOUSE
Sportswriter
The Antwerp Lady Archer
softball team seems to have
peaked at the right time. In
their first game of the Division
IV OHSAA softball tourna-
ment, the blue and white de-
feated North Central 7-3 to
sport a three-game winning
streak.
Up next in the Bryan Dis-
trict tournament for the Lady
Archers was a game pitting
them against conference foe
Edgerton.
The win improves the
Archers record to 4-12 while
Edgerton stands at 11-7. Both
teams played back on May 3
with the Bulldogs winning, 7-
1. The tournament game was
scheduled for Tuesday night at
Edon.
Antwerp didnt win their
first season game until April 9
and then dropped their next
seven. But they turned it
around as the season enters
tournament action. The
Archers defeated Montpelier
and Holgate prior to the tour-
nament and with the North
Central win, the Lady Archers
have built some momentum at
the right time.
As of late we have been
playing much better ball both
offensively and defensively.
We are a very young team and
due to our lack of experience
we allow mistakes to grow
into bigger ones on the field,
said head coach Garry Roden-
berger.
The coach went on to ex-
plain, Recently we have been
able to stem the flow and not
allow one mistake to com-
pound and grow into 3 or 4,
something we were not able to
do earlier in the season.
Freshman Avery Braaten
went the distance for the
Archers, pitching seven in-
nings. Braaten allowed three
runs, scattering nine hits, strik-
ing out four, and walking
none.
Leading hitters for Coach
Rodenbergers ball club were
Darian Bauer, who went 3-for-
3 with two doubles and a triple
while knocking in 3 RBIs.
Junior Kaiya Jemison and sen-
ior teammate Avrial Sawyer
contributed at the plate with
each hitting 2-for-4 with two
singles and a RBI each.
The North Central Lady Ea-
gles, from the Buckeye Border
Conference, closed out their
tournament run at 8-13.
I am pleased with the win
and the manner in which the
girls approached the contest.
As for the contest on Tuesday,
I expect Edgerton to be a fine
opponent. They beat us in the
regular season 7-1. Hopefully
we will continue to improve
on both sides of the ball and
walk out of Edon on Tuesday
with a victory, commented
Rodenberger.

Senior Spotlight
A relationship with God is most important for Cameron Huss
By JOE SHOUSE
Sportswriter
ANTWERP Cameron
Huss, a senior at Antwerp
High School could be de-
scribed as a scholar student, a
record breaking sprinter, or a
polite young man that anyone
would be proud to call son. A
trio of descriptions that right-
fully tells you a little bit about
who this Antwerp student is
and yet there is another de-
scription a side of Cameron
that outshines them all and its
one he is not ashamed.
When talking to Cameron I
realized he was a great kid.
When he spoke, he was polite
and respectful. It was yes sir
and thank-you. His sen-
tences were descriptive and
complete. I wasnt exactly
sure what it was that made
him sound so confident until I
asked him who his favorite
athlete is and without hesita-
tion he said Tim Tebow and
Jeremy Lin and at that point it
all clicked. Tebow and Lin are
Christians and they are both
very open about their faith.
They are my favorite athletes
because I am a Christian and
they (Tebow and Lin) believe
in everything I believe in,
Cameron said.
Openly sharing his spiritual
walk, Cameron explained its
not really about a certain reli-
gion but its all about a rela-
tionship with Christ and
following His teachings.
Our family attends church
and we have home Bible stud-
ies. Im certainly not ashamed
about my faith and I love
telling people that I am a
Christian, he said.
As a member of the
Antwerp track and field squad,
Camerons story as a sprinter
is rather brief. After playing
football his freshman and
sophomore year he switched
gears, giving up the gridiron in
order to pursue track.
This is only
my second
year and when
I came in I had
no idea what to
expect but I
did pretty well.
Really, all I
knew was that
I was a sprinter
and thats
where I
started.
Last year,
his first season
on the track
team, Cameron
set a new
school record in the 400m
dash with a time of 51.9 sec-
onds. He hopes to erase the
mark before the end of this
season.
As a sprinter, the Archer
senior participates in five
events including the 100m
dash, 200m dash, 400m dash,
4x200m Relay, and the
4x400m Relay.
On the track last season,
Cameron, who serves as the
class vice president, was se-
lected all-county, second team
all Green Meadows Confer-
ence, and finished second in
the 400m at the district level.
Academically, Cameron
takes on the challenges of the
classroom much like he does
the sprints with confidence
and determination while
reaching a level of success to
press on to higher goals.
Cameron carries a 3.51 GPA
and is ranked sixth in his class.
He has received numerous
awards such
as Senior
Award of
Merit, Presi-
d e n t i a l
A w a r d ,
Spanish hon-
ors, Ad-
v a n c e d
Biology hon-
ors, Aca-
demic A,
Student of
the Month,
just to name
a few. Re-
cently he re-
c e i v e d
recognition as a Green Mead-
ows Conference Scholar Ath-
lete for the second year in a
row.
When it comes to running
track Cameron has been able
to discover several life lessons
that will only come to serve
him in greater ways once he
leaves the halls of Antwerp
High School.
Ive learned that when you
put forth your all, you get your
best results. To not hold any-
thing back and you will be
successful.
Cameron lives on a farm
with his parents, Robert and
Melinda, and has an older sis-
ter and three brothers. On the
farm, the Huss family raises
cattle, pigs and chickens.
There is also a family business
called Huss and Sons Con-
struction where Cameron is a
carpenter apprentice. Melinda
is a registered nurse and is em-
ployed at Parkview North
Hospital in Fort Wayne.
We are a close family and
I love living on the farm. My
parents do their best to work
around their schedules in
order to attend my meets.
They are very supportive and
I appreciate when they are
able to attend.
After graduation Cameron
plans to attend Bluffton Uni-
versity where he will focus on
biology while seeking a pre-
med degree. He also plans to
run track for the Beavers.
After my four years of pre-
med I plan to attend medical
school and someday be a fam-
ily physician. I like helping
people and its something I
want to do.
As a student who has suc-
ceeded in both the class room
and in sports and is ready to
leave Antwerp High School,
Cameron would give the fol-
lowing advice to those stu-
dents in the lower grades.
The best thing to do is to find
what you love and dedicate
yourself to it 100 percent. And
at the same time remember
there are things more impor-
tant like family, education, and
a relationship with God.

Stoller HR lifts Raiders past Archers
By JOE SHOUSE
Sportswriter
ANTWERP Last Monday
the Wayne Trace Raiders base-
ball team traveled to GMC op-
ponent and county rival
Antwerp and came away with
a hard-fought 3-1 win over the
Archers.
WT hurler Cade Harvey
went the distance pitching
seven innings, striking out
seven, walking two, and al-
lowing just five hits.
Tonight we got a great ef-
fort from Cade. He threw a lot
of strikes in a big win for us,
said Wayne Trace head coach
Larry Pressler.
The Raiders were on the
board early with their three
runs. After scoring a run in the
second inning WT added two
more runs in the third. T.J.
Blackmore, a junior for Coach
Presslers club, reached base
on a single followed by a
home run by Aaron Stoller to
push the Raiders in front 3-0.
The home run from Stoller
was huge for us and I cant say
enough about the hitting of
Blackmore. He (Blackmore)
has worked himself through
the ranks and after little play-
ing time at the start of the sea-
son, he has become our
number three hitter, batting
.340, Pressler said.
Blackmore collected three
hits against Antwerp.
The county tussle went
down to the last out. With two
outs in the bottom of the sev-
enth and Harvey still on the
mound for WT, the winning
pitcher walked a batter and
then Antwerp managed a sin-
gle with the Archers number
two hitter at the plate. Harvey
was able to collect himself and
toss a strikeout to end the
Archer threat and the game.
Wayne Trace added a cou-
ple of defensive gems in the
contest, thanks to the play of
Caleb Mead. In the sixth in-
ning, the senior center fielder
saved a couple of runs.
Antwerp had runners at
first and third with just one out
when Mead hauled in a pop up
on a diving catch. He was alert
to the situation and quickly
threw to home for the third out
of the inning, said Pressler.
Also producing hits for the
winning Raiders, who im-
proved to 6-13 overall and 2-
4 in the GMC, were Jacob
Dingus (two singles), Harvey
(single), Marcus McVay (sin-
gle) and Jared Sherry (dou-
ble).
The Archers picked up five
hits in the contest with Derek
Smalley leading the way with
three singles and teammates
Trenton Copsey and Colton
Hamman each adding a single.
Smalley was tagged with
the loss giving Antwerp a 3-8
record overall while remain-
ing winless in the GMC 0-5.

[The PCCL is an equal opportunity employer.] 37c2
Cline to oversee Project Lifesaver
By JIM LANGHAM
Feature Writer
It is not that unusual, says
Paulding County deputy David
Cline, to receive calls in which
someone with mental illness
such as Alzheimers, autism or
dementia to not be able to find
their way back to their places
of safety.
In order to assist in speeding
up the search for such individ-
uals more efficiently, the local
sheriffs office is going to be
taking active membership in a
national organization known as
Project Lifesaver International.
The effort will be headed up
by Cline, who is currently also
in charge of superintending the
closed jail facility.
Participation is on an enroll-
ment basis. For further infor-
mation, call the sheriffs office
and talk to Sheriff Jason Lan-
ders or Cline.
Last Wednesday, in his reg-
ular session, Sheriff Landers
discussed the subject of Project
Lifesaver with us, said Cline.
It sounds like a really good
program. The department de-
cided to enroll in the project
and begin training, according
to required standards.
Cline was authorized to reg-
ister the local law enforcement
agency in the project. As soon
as training assistance is pro-
vided, things will get under
way. Cline said that he has al-
ready been informed of one
family who would like to enroll
in the program.
The primary mission of
Project Lifesaver is to provide
timely response to save lives
and reduce potential injury for
adults and children who wan-
der due to Alzheimers, autism
and other related conditions or
disorders, said Cline.
The task of searching for
wandering or lost individuals
with Alzheimers, autism,
Down Syndrome and dementia
or other cognitive conditions is
a growing and is a serious re-
sponsibility, said Cline.
Cline said that there are
qualification standards in
which individuals can enroll
their loved ones in the pro-
gram. They are given a neck-
lace with a radio that sends
out signals indicating their
presence. Those licensed to lis-
ten for the signals are then
alerted and given the opportu-
nity to track them down.
In order to receive 24-hour
care through the program,
those involved must have a his-
tory of walking off, must be re-
ceiving 24-hour care giving
and have a medical diagnosis.
Cline said that the sheriffs
office will be looking to estab-
lish a new account line in the
budget in order to allow for in-
dividuals who wish to donate.
Main expenses will include
training, purchase of equipment,
and the officers time in serving
the needs of the program.
Once we get the program
going, the only cost will mainly
be the cost of batteries for the
devices, Cline said.
Cline said that he has been in
touch with Sergeant Mark Den-
ning who heads up the program
in the Defiance County Sher-
iffs Offfice. He noted that Den-
ning has been very positive
about the results of the program
in that county.
Cline emphasized that the
program was created with two
goals in mind, to streamline
search and rescue procedures
and to help save lives.
All personnel participating
in the program as a responder
must successfully complete op-
erator training and be certified

Would you drive a
mile to save a life?
DEFIANCE Everyone knows that with a cancer diagnosis
comes many hardships and barriers for a cancer patient. One of
the greatest barriers to a cancer patient is simply getting to and
from cancer appointments and treatments; cancer patients often
cannot afford to drive to appointments or are physically unable to
drive themselves. That is why your American Cancer Society
needs your help.
The American Cancer Society is looking for volunteers who are
willing to save lives by driving a few miles. Its Road to Recovery
program is active in the following counties: Defiance, Fulton,
Henry, Paulding and Williams, but more help is needed. The Road
to Recovery program needs volunteers who are willing to give a
few hours of their time to provide FREE transportation for cancer
patients to and from their treatments.
Volunteers only need to have a reliable vehicle, current drivers
license, proof of auto insurance, and attend a FREE Road to Re-
covery training. Training for this program is simple, easy and FREE
and only requires a few hours of your time. Volunteer drivers make
a big difference in a cancer patients life by providing them with ac-
cess to lifesaving procedures and treatments.
Want to volunteer to become a driver? Attend the next Road to
Recovery Training from noon-1 p.m. Tuesday, May 21 at the
Promedica Defiance Regional Hospitals Tiffin Conference Room,
1200 Ralston Ave., Defiance. There is no fee to attend, but registra-
tion is requested. To register, call 1-888-227-6446 ext. 5104.
If you want to volunteer, but this date does not work for you or if
you would like more information about this program, call Jessica
West, health initiatives representative for American Cancer Society,
at 1-888-227-6446 ext. 5104 or email Jessica.West@cancer.org.

County fair is less
than a month away
By BILL SHERRY
Correspondent
PAULDING Paulding
County Agricultural Society
secretary Sue Miller provided
the board with an extensive
report of the upcoming fair
activities which included nu-
merous spots for food, games,
rides and other fair activities.
Miller reported that all the
spots are filled with vendors,
local business providing
demonstrations and even
some political parties with
spots for advertising.
Miller advised the board
that the annual election for
fair directors will be held. In
order to be able to vote a per-
son needs to become a fair
board member by paying the
$1 membership fee.
The fair secretarys office
will be open for business, in-
cluding fair membership,
from May 20 until three days
following this years fair.
It was announced that there
will be two carts used to
transport people from the
parking area to the fair-
grounds.
Allison Stoller told the
board that she has almost all
the corporate sponsors signed
up for the donations needed
to continue providing free ad-
mission again to this years
fair. Stoller indicated that
there were corporate sponsors
ready to provide the funds
needed.
Stoller stated that she and
her husband would be putting
up the signs to thank the cor-
porate sponsors.
In spite of her busy prepa-
rations for the upcoming fair
king and queen pageant, OSU
Extension 4-H program assis-
tant Staci Hiler advised the
board that:
the Skill-a-thon is set
from 2-5 p.m. Wednesday,
May 29.
fair trophies have been
ordered.
there are 17 applicants for
the 2013 fair king and queen
contest, five of those appli-
cants are boys.
rabbit tattooing is set
from 6-8 p.m. Thursday, May
16.
there are 28 horses regis-
tered for this years fair and it
was reported that all livestock
barns are expected to be full.
The agricultural society
unanimously approved rent-
ing the 4-H horse arena, rest-
rooms and judges stand to
hold a horse show on June 29.
The board approved the re-
quest from Brenda Vance and
Terri Myer, who will sign a
contract and provide proof of
insurance.
Part of the contract will in-
clude cleaning the stalls after
use, and the event organizers
will need to bring their own
timer. There will be a rain
date set and inspections done
before and after the event as
well as reading the meters to
determine usage. There will
be a deposit of $150 charged
for the use of the junior fair
equipment. This deposit will
be refunded when the equip-
ment is returned in good
shape.
The fairs open goat show
will start at 6 p.m. Saturday,
June 15 and the board ap-
proved maximum anticipated
expenditures of $1,000 for
the judging and some of the
larger prizes from the goat
show. All proceeds from the
goat show will benefit the
junior fair.
Garbage service for the fair
will be provided by Real
Waste Disposal.
The next regularly sched-
uled meeting would be on
June 12, which is in the mid-
dle of fair week. It was com-
mented that there will be
several meetings prior to and
during the fair. The first reg-
ular meeting after the fair is
scheduled set for 7:30 p.m.
July 10.
