PAULDING Following a
40-minute executive session
Monday morning, the Pau -
lding County commissioners
unanimously voted to rehire
Georgia Dyson as dog warden.
The three-man board passed
a resolution to appoint Dyson
as dog warden, under the au-
thority of the sheriffs office,
effective July 1. This move
was made due to a recent up-
date from the Ohio Ethics
Commission.
In May, the commissioners
had voted to transition the dog
warden office to the sheriffs
office and said Dysons last
day on the job would be June
30. It was initially thought she
was ineligible for the new job
because her spouse is already
employed at the sheriffs of-
fice.
Her starting pay will be
$14.94 an hour as a reflection
of her current salary. In four
months, around Nov. 1, she
will be subject to an evalua-
tion.
At that time it will be deter-
mined what her compensation
should be according to
changes in her responsibilities
due to also serving as a sher-
iffs deputy while filling the
role as dog warden.
When the vote was com-
plete, Commissioner Tony
Zartman told Dyson, We re-
ally hope this works for you.
Sheriff Jason Landers said
that since Dyson is already a
reserve officer with his depart-
ment, she will not be subject to
further training. She will, how-
ever, be accountable to depart-
ment policies and procedures.
There will be a learning
curve, I expect, said Sheriff
Landers, saying she will be ex-
pected to learn the operations
of the sheriffs office and do
required paperwork.
Landers said her number
one responsibility will be that
of dog warden with those of a
deputy sheriff around that.
The dog warden will wear a
deputys uniform, drive a vehi-
cle with a sheriffs office em-
blem, and keep regular hours.
She will be a commission-
ers employee managed by the
sheriffs office, he said.
At the same time, there have
been no new developments re-
garding proposed changes to
the county emergency man-
agement agency (EMA). The
commissioners are in the
process of getting approval
from a majority of the countys
townships and villages to dis-
band the current EMA board.
On Monday, EMA director
Randy Shaffer said the com-
missioners have not formally
made that offer for him to
stay in his present position.
But I understand it may be
happening, Shaffer added. It
still depends if on the villages
and townships formally agree

PAULDING Awesome news of an
extremely generous donation is gener-
ating excitement for members of the
Friends of the Fair and those who have
an interest in the Paulding County Fair.
Last Thursday word was received of
a $100,000 matching donation to go
toward building three new livestock
barns on the Paulding County fair-
grounds. This came just as members of
the Friends of the Fair were about to
announce a $250,000 project to demol-
ish the three old barns north of the
show arena and rebuild.
This shows the generosity of our
county, said Lisa McClure, executive
director of the Paulding County Area
Foundation, which will administer the
Friends of the Fairs Building for the
Future Fund.
Mike Kauser, president of the
Friends of the Fairs project commit-
tee, concurred. What better way to
start a project? he wondered.
It was noted that no time limit was
set for the match.
Plans are in the works to construct
two 60x90 and one 40x100 pole
barns. The smaller pair would house
the sheep and goats in one and poultry
in the other. Swine projects would go
in the longer barn.
The new layouts will open up 1,400
additional square feet for use.
These will replace the older wooden
barns, constructed around 1872 which
are all located north of the show arena.
The fair board and contributors have
been putting money into these build-
ings through the years to keep them us-
able, but donors were tiring of sinking
money into old buildings.
Lonnie Miller, longtime fair board
member, said when they last asked for
donations for upkeep and improve-
ments to the building certain folks said
they wouldnt contribute to old build-

This is just totally awesome. So many peo-
ple worked so hard to make this happen, com-
mented Karen Saxton, who heads up the event.
We were talking as we were walking on the
victory lap a little while ago. We are just one
big Paulding County family working together
for a good cause.
One major unexpected hitch was a severe
storm that hit the fairgrounds about 11 p.m.
Friday, accompanied by a tornado watch.
Those present, with the help of the EMA and
fairground maintenance worker, Larry Colley,
were ushered into the facilitys storm shelter
for almost an hour.

McMichael.
Relay means a lot to us,
observed Tommy Wanne -
macher. My grandmother,
Betty Roth of Belleview, was
an honorary chairman. My
wifes grandmother fought
cancer. It means the world
when you see survivors out
here.
The luminary service real-
ly gets to me, especially when
you realize all of the lives of
people represented by each
candle, added Wannemacher.
Everyone was such a help
in this, said Saxton.
Due to threatening weather
conditions, organizers decided
at midnight to suspend Relay
activities until 6 a.m.
One individual who was es-
pecially moved by the event
was Susie Sanderson, first-
year team captain representing
Country Inn of Latty.
Since I work in a health
care facility, I have seen how
cancer affects lives and resi-
dents and families, said
Sanderson. We are so happy
to support this cause.
Its touching to see how
everyone works together. We
want to continue doing this
every year, added Sanderson,
who noted that there were 18
team members on the facilitys
first effort.
One added dimension to
this years event was the cele-
bration of 20 years of involve-
ment in Paulding County. For
Jillene McMichael, who has
been actively involved with
much of the Relays energy in
recent years, it was even more
exciting because the American
Cancer Society is celebrating
its 100th year of involvement.
Paulding County and the
ACS get to celebrate mile-
stones together. That is an
awesome thing. To look at the
faces of the people in this
county, how much they love
and help each other, that is re-
ally special, observed

That just goes to show that
if we speak up loud enough,
they cant ignore us. Were
still going to be trying to re-

extremes to get the commis-
sioners to take our opinions

to disband the board.
Zartman on Tuesday said
that Shaffer has not met with
all three commissioners, but
has met with Commissioner
Roy Klopfenstein. Zartman
believes they seem to be in
agreement that Shaffer will
stay on.
The commissioners are still
going around to townships and
villages for signatures on the
agreement to dissolve the
EMA board; however, they are
waiting for an official resolu-
tion before proceeding. They
are confident they will get the
signatures needed.
Although many residents
is still old and no more usable
or efficient. Its an old building
with a lot of money in it, he
said.
The project began slowly,
but has gained momentum
rapidly. Kauser and other
members of the Paulding FFA
Alumni approached the fair
board in February to discuss
improvements to the current
barns.
As it became apparent that a
larger scale project of replac-
ing the buildings was possible,
fundraising ideas and volun-
teers were gathered. In March,
Friends of the Fair was estab-
lished.
It rolled from there rather
fast, said Kauser. It became
our goal to get plans in place
by fair.
Paulding FFA Alumni has
provided seed money to get
the project going. They have
paid for architectural render-
ings and printing of education-
al materials. Their entire
pledge amount will be an-
nounced during the livestock
sale at the fair.
Spencer Beckman, a
Paulding FFA alumnus and
former livestock showman,
has been drawn into the proj-
ect. His special skills as a
CAD designer with B.A.
Beilharz, an architect out of
Defiance, and knowledge of
state codes have assisted the
project tremendously.
Monetary goal for the proj-
ect is $250,000. Kauser ap-
proached McClure about start-
ing a fund within the Paulding
County Area Foundation to
administer the funds.
This will be an amazing
addition to the fairgrounds,
said McClure. We are excited
to be a part of this project.
Trustees of the Foundation
will have the final decision on
the distribution of resources in
the fund.
In addition to the barn struc-
tures, the money will pay for
site preparation and drainage,
cement for the hog barns in-
cluding four feet high walls to
eliminate rotting posts and
electrical requirements.
All updated electrical com-
ponents just purchased for the
poultry barn with funds raised
over the winter will be reused,
as will existing pens.
We are being very prudent
with pieces and materials that
can be reused, said McClure.
Originally, plans were for
demolition after fall fest in
2014 with construction to be
complete by the 2015 fair. But
news of the matching grant
has committee members opti-
mistic.
If this (donations totaling
$200,000) happens in three
months, we could start this
fall, said Roy Klopfenstein,
Friends of the Fair member, 4-
H parent and county commis-
sioner.
Realistically, once the funds
are collected, the committee
will need to draw up bid pack-
ages, let the bids and get onto
the contractor(s) schedule(s).
The Friends of the Fair proj-
ect committee sees this project
as a positive for the county as
a whole, effecting 4-Hers, FFA
members, community groups
who use the fairgrounds such
as Relay For Life and Flat
Rock Creek Fall Festival.
Fair board president Tim
Shafer said, This will really
improve the grounds for all
parties, including fall fest,
camper storage, and the fair.
All parties concerned
agreed that the new buildings
will be usable for a wide vari-
ety of purposes, not just live-
stock.
Displays are being prepared
for educational purposes for
use at the fair. The public will
be able to view these in the
small pavilion west of the
Midway Caf near the secre-
tarys office and in the
Foundations tent located near
the livestock barns at the west
end of the Midway.
Kauser will also address the
buyers and crowds during the
annual junior fair livestock
sale at the fair on Saturday,
June 15.

ber. On the committee are

Tony and Nancy Burkley have been selected as grand marshal for this
years John Paulding Days parade. Tony is serving his first term as a state
representative. Here, the Burkleys are seen at the recent Relay For Life event
in honor of their daughter, Audrey, who passed with cancer this past
Christmas.
Burkleys to lead John Paulding Days parade
By JIM LANGHAM
Feature Writer
PAULDING When I think that
this honor of being grand marshal for
John Paulding Days this year has
been given to us, I feel very unwor-
thy, said Nancy Burkley recently.
For the last three years our
friends, family and co-workers in
this community, as well our church
family, have given more to our fami-
ly than we could ever repay.
This time is very hard for us, be-
cause last year at this time we still
had our daughter, Audrey. We were
still praying for a miracle. She
passed away of breast cancer at the
young age of 35 just before
Christmas, Burkley said.
Burkley said that outpouring of
love and support by the local com-
munity in ways they could not have
imagined has made it possible for
their family to endure the difficult
time of illness and loss.
In addition to bringing meals,
taking Audrey to treatments and
praying for us, we had friends and
family who were with us in the last
days, sometimes doing duties one
would think only a mother would be
able to do. Audrey was fortunate to
have a loving husband, Chad, and
two beautiful children, Dane and
Mallory, to make her last days happy
ones, added Burkley.
Tony Burkley said that he realizes
that the honor of being grand mar-
shal is a premier tribute any small
community can share with one of its
own. He is especially moved when
he thinks of grand marshals of the
past and what giants of the commu-
nity he considered them to be.
Burkley chuckled when he said
that traditionally, many of those who
are given the honor of being grand
marshal are honored late in their
lives. But he mentioned that he was
talking with last years honored cou-
ple, Dr. John and Karen Saxton of
Oakwood.
John and I were laughing that we
are glad they are giving that opportu-
nity to younger residents these days,
quipped Burkley.
Burkley still recalls the night that
he and Nancy met for the first time.
She had just graduated from the
eighth grade in the Catholic school
and there was a party celebrating the
graduation.
The boys were on one side and
the girls on the other. I stepped out
and asked that cute girl on the other
side to dance with me, Burkley said.
As it turned out, that was the begin-
ning of our relationship. We went to-
gether all through high school and
were eventually married in the
Catholic Church in Payne on on
April 19, 1974.
For much of his early married life,
Burkley worked in the NAPA store
that had originally been started in
Payne by his father, Marion Burkley.
Then, in 1996, he entered a different
time of life when he was elected as a
Paulding County commissioner. For
the next 16 years, he had the unique
privilege of serving out four terms,
longer than any other commissioner
in the history of Paulding County.
He also became a successful small
business owner. His NAPA/True
Value, which providing hardware
and automative parts service, recent-
ly celebrated a major expansion.
Nancy was serving as elementary
secretary and then special education
secretary in the Paulding Exempted
Village Schools. In addition to being
an active mother, Nancy also served
as the Republican Womens secre-
tary for six years and has been active
in her commitment to her local
church.
In the meantime, Tony developed
a growing fervor to enter the political
public life arena. Last November, he
was elected as a state representative
for the 82nd District, which includes
the counties of Defiance, Paulding,
Van Wert and the northern portion of
Auglaize.
Sometimes its easy to sit around
and complain about how the govern-
ment is run, said Burkley.
Sometimes there is a legitimate
concern for that. I have always been
one who has a mindset to attempt to
solve problems. When I look at
things, I look for solutions.
I do a lot of listening and try not
to jump into things, continued
Burkley. My mindset is not how I
benefit politically, but how to help
the people I come into contact with.
If you have a mindset for their hurt-
ing, you understand that there are
probably reasons why they are in the
situation that they are in.
Nancy said that living in a small
community, blessed by the love and
care of its residents, gives those with-
in its limits a sense of appreciation
for all that God gives His children.
Before Audrey entered inpatient
hospice, she asked me to bring her a
peanut butter sandwich, observed
Burkley. Feeling that I should have
made something better for her, I
turned around to ask her if there
was anything else that I could make
for her.
Her now-bald head was bowed
and her hands were folded in prayer,
thanking God for that silly sand-
wich, Nancy added. I think it was
Gods way of making me feel as
though we must have done some-
thing right as parents. I think of that
day when I need to be reminded to be
grateful for everything He gives us.

MARY SMITH
1917-2013
PAULDING Mary Fran-
cis Smith, age 96, died Fri-
day, May 31 at The Gardens
of Paulding.
She was born May 28,
1917 in Cecil, the daughter of
Conrad and Emma Fay
(Biggs) Winterhaulter. In
1934, she married John P.
Smith, who preceded her in
death on July 8, 2001. She
was previously employed as
an LPN for Paulding County
Hospital and was a member
of Cecil First Presbyterian
Church.
Mary was a devoted wife,
mother and grandmother. Her
family meant everything in
the world to her. She went
without many things in life so
that her family would not
have to endure all the hard-
ships she experienced
throughout her life. Marys
personality was one of being
strong, even tough when nec-
essary, but most of all, giving
of herself and whatever she
had in life to her family.
Mary loved babies and
children. She always enjoyed
having her grandkids visit
her. Marys passing leaves an
empty hole in our hearts and
she will be deeply missed by
her family and friends.
She is survived by a son,
Jerry L. (Robin) Smith, Per-
rysburg; a daughter-in-law,
Nancy Smith, Hicksville; a
brother, Bill (Ramona) Win-
terhaulter, Defiance; grand-
children, Greg, John, Sally,
Ryan and Matthew; and
seven great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death
by her parents; husband; son,
John Jack Smith; a brother,
Mike Winterhaulter; and four
sisters, Betty, Donna, and
Ruth Bud Winterhaulter,
and Helen Stratten.
Funeral services will be
conducted 11 a.m. today, June
5 at Den Herder Funeral
Home, Paulding. Burial will
follow at 1 p.m. in Riverview
Memory Gardens, Defiance.
Visitation will be one hour
prior to services today.
Her favorite charity was St.
Jude Childrens Hospital. She
was supportive of the services
they provide to all children.
Please send donations in
Marys memory to St. Jude
Childrens Research Hospital.
Online condolences may be

The Amish Cook
By: Lovina Eicher
Daughters Elizabeth and
Susan will start following in-
structions in preparation for
baptism when church serv-
ices are here on June 2. Such
a joy it brings to us as parents
to see our children want to ac-
cept Jesus Christ as their Sav-
ior.
When a girl follows in-
structions, the custom is to
wear a black dress and a
white cape and apron each
church Sunday. Both girls
dresses are cut out, but not
sewn yet. My goal is to work
on that today. I enjoy sewing
more than cleaning, so my
birthday dream to myself is to
sew instead of clean today.
42 years ago, on May 22, I
was born to very loving par-
ents, Ben and Elizabeth
Coblentz. How I appreciate
all they taught me.
My 29th birthday was the
day before Dads funeral. I
was 31 years old when
mother died and so Joseph
was only 8 weeks old at that
time. God had other plans.
We will cherish the memories
of them always.
Jacob, Emma and family
are planning to come tonight
for supper in honor of my
birthday. Also daughter Eliz-
We are having a light rain
this morning which we are so
thankful for. Yesterday we
also had some rain and it sure
has made my garden perk up.
I think we will be having
radishes to use soon.
Daughter Lovina and her
friends were here for the
night on Monday. They had
lots of fun. Lovina wanted
cupcakes instead of cake. We
put nine candles on the cup-
cakes for her to blow out.
We had a thunderstorm in
the early morning hours
which woke up all the little
girls for awhile.
Our hearts go out to all the
people that lost loved ones or
their homes in the recent tor-
nadoes. I cannot imagine how
scary it must be to be in the
path of a tornado. May God
be their guide throughout this
trial.
Sister Emma and her
daughter, Elizabeth, assisted
us with our work yesterday. I
dont know what we would
do without their help. Neigh-
bor Susan and a few other
ladies from church offered to
help prepare for church serv-
ices. It seems I am more be-
hind this time in getting
ready.
abeths friend, Timothy, and
daughter Susans friend,
Mose.
My husband Joe gave me a
large laundry spinner for my
birthday. I was very happy for
it and used it Monday for the
first time. The clothes dried a
lot faster than usual. It will be
especially nice in the winter
months when we dry our
clothes in the basement. Until
next week.
Zucchini season will soon
be here. Try out this recipe:
SKILLET ZUCCHINI
1 zucchini squash, shredded
1 large onion, shredded
1/2 pound ground beef
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup margarine
2 eggs
1/3 cup milk
3/4 cup cracker crumbs
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Heat margarine in a large
skillet, add onion and zuc-
chini squash. Fry ground beef
in a small skillet until
browned, drain. Add to zuc-
chini simmer until soft. Add
salt and pepper. Beat eggs.
Add milk. Blend at then add
cracker crumbs. Add this to
squash mixture. Turn with
spatula to stir. Squash will
shrink when cooked.

SFSP to offer Paulding kids
free, nutritious lunches
The Summer Food Service Program is set to begin June 10 at
LaFountain Park, 700 Lincoln Ave. Free, nutritious lunches will
be served to children ages 1-18, and to 21 with IEP, from 11:30
a.m.-12:15 p.m. Monday-Friday, June 10-Aug. 9, except July 4.
Activities will be from 12-12:45 p.m. Here, Julio Garcia, of Pauld-
ing, enjoys a nutritious meal while attending the Summer Food
Service Program at the Kiwanis Community Center last year.
PAULDING LaFountain
Park will be the place to be
around lunchtime this sum-
mer. Northwestern Ohio
Community Action Commis-
sion (NOCAC) will again
sponsor the Summer Food
Service Program in Paulding,
but the location has changed
from last year.
This year all children ages
1-18, or to 21 with an IEP,
can enjoy a free, nutritious
meal, prepared by Paulding
County Senior Center, on
Monday-Friday, June 10-
Aug. 9, except July 4.
Lunch will be served from
11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m., at
LaFountain Park, 700 Lin-
coln Ave., with activities
from 12-12:45 p.m.
Gerilyn Larson, of Pauld-
ing, is site supervisor, and
will be present at all SFSP ac-
tivities.
Mayor Greg White agreed
to allow use of LaFountain
Park as a site for the Summer
Food Service Program this
year. This site is a great
choice because it is next to
the swimming pool, making it
easily accessible to children
whose parents allow them to
swim after attending SFSP.
Last year, the Summer
Food Service Program was
held at Kiwanis Community
Center, which will serve as
the backup site in case of bad
storms with lightning or ex-
tremely hot temperatures this
summer.
Based on the latest MR81
report provided by Ohio De-
partment of Education, 777
out of 1,262, or 61.57 percent
of students attending Pauld-
ing Exempted Village
Schools, qualify for free/re-
duced lunches. With school
out for the summer, many of
these children may not re-
ceive a nourishing and well
balanced meal for a variety of
reasons.
To help fill this gap, the
USDA funds the Summer
Food Service Program, which
is administered by the Ohio
Department of Education. In
addition to the Paulding site,
NOCAC sponsors sites in
Defiance, Fulton, Henry and
Williams counties.
NOCAC, Paulding County
Senior Center and other com-
munity groups and members,
served 117 unduplicated chil-
dren and 628 healthy lunches
last summer at the local Ki-
wanis center. This year will
be the programs second year
in Paulding and NOCAC is
working to spread the word to
even more families to bring
their children for a free meal
and fun.
The SFSP still needs volun-
teers to help during mealtime
serving the food, or to pro-
vide activities. To date, the
following local organizations,
churches, schools and busi-
nesses are providing volun-
teers.
Volunteering to help with
food service are: National
Honor Society, First Christian
Church, Job and Family Serv-
ices-Childrens Services,
Huntington Bank, Free Chris-
tian Church of God, Nazarene
Church and Paulding Senior
Center.
Volunteers providing activ-
ities include Paulding Ex-
empted Village School
volleyball and football teams;
Girl Scouts of Western Ohio,
Paulding County Carnegie
Library, Anns Bright Begin-
nings Preschool, Free Chris-
tian Church of God, Job and
Family Services-Childrens
Services, and Paulding
County Senior Center.
Community organizations,
businesses and individuals in-
terested in volunteering, as
well as parents or anyone else
interested in learning more
about the program can call
Wendy Bryant Scheurich,
SFSP coordinator, at
NOCACs Defiance office at
419-784-5136, ext. 1120, or
send an e-mail to
wscheurich@nocac.org.
Meals will be provided in
accordance with federal law
and U.S. Department of Agri-
culture policy. In accordance
with federal law and USDA
policy, this institution is pro-
hibited from discriminating
on the basis of race, color, na-
tional origin, sex, age or dis-
ability.
Rug Hookrafters Guild plans events
WAUSEON The North-
west Ohio Rugkrafters Guild
recently met in Wauseon with
19 in attendance. The busi-
ness discussed was election
of 2013-14 officers, and a
fundraiser for advertising the
upcoming 40th anniversary
of the guild that will be held
Oct. 5.
It is titled Rubies, Rugs
and Rugmakers Anniversary
Show and will be held at
Wesley United Methodist
Church in Bryan.
The guild will have raffle
items at Barnfest on Sept. 28
in Bryan. Members can bring
items at June, July and Au-
gust meetings.
Items for display at the an-
nual Sauders rug show in
August will need to be regis-
tered prior to the show.
Upcoming events are the
June meeting in Holgate
hosted by Eileen Eis, Norman
Lusk and Liz Eberle. Check
e-mail for supply list for June
meeting. A day trip to King-
wood Gardens June 29 was
also discussed along with a
Magdalena class.
Lori Neff will be ordering
the guild aprons and Carla
Allshouse is collecting annual
dues and dues for McGowen.
The rug to be displayed at
The Heritage Inn is continu-
ally being worked on by guild
members. It is nearing com-
pletion.
Discussion of a larger
venue for monthly meetings
and perhaps having more
hook-ins are being considered
for the future.
Learn more about the art of
primitive rugkrafting by
going online or attending the
annual rug show in August at
the Sauder Village, where
guild members will be
demonstrating.

Terry Wehrkamp was the speaker at the Paulding Kiwanis
Club. Wehrkamp, who works for Cooper Farms headquartered
in Oakwood, says they have facilities in several counties around
the area. What started out as a turkey hatchery a few years ago
is now a very large operation. Recent expansions include breed-
ing pigs to raising chickens. They process their own feeds and
currently have 1,600 employees. The turkey processing plant at
Van Wert sends products all over the country which are pack-
aged under the name of the customer, such as Kroger and
Costco. Michelle Stahl was program chairman.
Holocaust
speaker to return
Dear Editor,
Thank you to Jim Lang-
ham for his emotional col-
umn in the May 29 edition,
about the Holocaust sur-
vivor, William Meyer. Over
400 attended this special li-
brary centennial celebration
event and if feedback is any
indication, his words
changed lives.
Some of his more memo-
rable quotes were, For I
have endured their hunger.
Listened to the cries of
mothers; listened to the
screams of families sepa-
rated; listened to the un-
speakable horror, torture,
slave labor and hangings.
Listened to the prayers of old
men and to prayers that were
not answered.
I surely do not want
vengeance, but moral educa-
tion. I want the world to know
that there was an attempt to
eradicate an entire race and
those who helped them.
Two things Corrie Ten
Boom (Williams neighbor)
told me: Annawilliam, do not
give up hope. Goodness al-
ways overcomes evil. The sun
always shines after a storm.
Hope and love will prevail.
For two hours this 81-year-
old, energized by what he
called, the most attentive au-
dience ever, spoke about the
atrocities he and others en-
dured. But, there is more to
tell.
I am privileged to announce
that we are able to bring
William Meyer back to Pauld-
ing on Aug. 14 for an evening
of reflection about his life
since fleeing his homeland.
He has shared some of his
stories with me and they are
incredible. William Meyer
represents a dark period of
history of our world that
should never be forgotten.
Again, thank you to Mr.
Langham for putting Meyers
story so eloquently to pen and
to the Paulding Coun-
tyProgress for providing the
space.

Right person
for dog warden
Dear Editor,
Maybe it is time to rename
the position of dog warden to
a position entitled, Animal
Rescue and Welfare Author-
ity.
We have the right person
here in Paulding County.
How about Georgia Dyson?
Yes, let the lawbreakers be
dealt with by the sheriffs de-
partment. This will include
but not be limited to:
1. Mistreatment of any ani-
mal.
2. Lawbreaking such as re-
sisting relinquishment of an
animal for any reason in the
best interest of safety for any-
one as well as for the welfare
of the animal.
3. Neglect, any kind of tor-
ment or physical abuse to any
animal.
4. Lack of food or water,
malnutrition, bad cases of
worms or fleas from being
kept in a dark, unheated (in the
cold weather) basement or
other inappropriate place.
5. Disturbing the peace with
loud barking and the necessary
investigation for the reason for
the loud barking such a being
out in the cold or rain, too
short a leash, no water, no out-
side retreat, a large dog threat-
ening/injuring a smaller or
any dog or cat or whatever....
6. Dogfighting or any such
abusive training or instigation
of fighting.
7. Dogs chronically running
loose which is different from
an occasional jail break by a
really happy pup.
Do the people of Paulding
and the law authorities agree
that perhaps it is time to rede-
fine the job?
It is becoming evident that
the people on both sides of this
concern have very valid points.
Georgia Dyson should defi-
nitely not have to be dealing
with the kind of problems that
are a threat to her safety. We
are not talking about how to
capture a frightened animal.
She is highly qualified to do
that whereas probably a police
officer would not be the right
person to deal with such cir-
cumstances.
And while were at it, why
is not a cell phone paid for in
this job? There is no excuse for
disregarding the needs of any-
thing practical such as this, in
todays world.
Now that some of the con-
cern have been aired about the
dog wardens treating of cer-
tain situations, there needs to
be supportive back-up law en-
forcement in these cases where
the people are being difficult
and not letting her do her job.
Why criticize her, when proba-
bly it was the negligent or of-
fending dog owner who was to
blame?
Folks, please, publicly ex-
press your concern about this
issue before we lose this treas-
ure of a person. Lets get
Paulding County into the year
2013 and the years leading up
to this, leave them behind.

In The
Garden
By
Kylee Baumle
Choosing plants for your garden
My mom and I had a day of
what we call nursery hopping
last week. It was really my
first time out shopping for
plants, although that wasnt
the impetus for the trip to
Toledo and back.
I wanted a bent willow
chair and one of my Face-
book readers told me a certain
garden center there had a lot
of them. They did and I pur-
chased one.
Well, you cant go to a gar-
den center and not look at the
plants. And few die-hard gar-
deners have enough will
power to walk out of such a
place without at least one or
ten of them. I may or may not
have been on the high end of
the plant count.
I knew that there were a
couple of other nearby garden
centers, so hey, while were
in the area, we might as well
visit those too, right?
Each place carried a little dif-
ferent assortment of plants so
I took advantage of the spare
space in the minivan to take
some new things home to Our
Little Acre.
This is generally my modus
operandi when shopping for
plants for the garden. Seldom
do I have a specific plant in
mind when I begin, although
I do have a running list of
things that I keep my eyes
open for each season.
If I find them, great. If not,
there are plenty of other won-
derful things that grab my at-
tention and manage to jump
into the shopping cart.
When you are plant shopping,
there are some things you
should keep in mind:
Choose healthy plants.
Inspect the stems and foliage
for problems. If you see ex-
cessive yellowing, spots on
the foliage, dead areas, or
signs of insects, pass it up for
a plant that doesnt have these
things. Beware of wilted
plants. Some will bounce
back if they get too dry and
wilted. Many wont.
Consider the stage of the
blooms. While its tempting
to pick the plants that look the
prettiest because theyve got
so many beautiful flowers,
look for plants that have more
buds than blooms. That way
youll get to enjoy them
longer in your garden.
Check the number of
plants in the pot. Often there
will be an extra plant or two
in a pot. I cant tell you the
number of times Ive gotten
bonus plants just by checking
all the pots to see.
Inspect the bottom of
the pot. If you see a lot of
roots coming out the drainage
holes in the bottom of the
container, it could mean the
plant has spent too much time
in the pot (or at least a pot of
its size). Inside the container,
you could find roots that have
circled the bottom of the pot
because they had nowhere
else to go.
This may or may not be a
problem. If you choose a
plant that has become root
bound like this, be sure to
loosen the roots before plant-
ing.
Read the tags with cau-
tion. Im a little distrustful of
plant tags these days when it
comes to zones. With the new
USDA Zone map putting most
of our area in Zone 6, garden
centers are stocking more
plants that need Zone 6 condi-
tions to survive the winter.
Experienced gardeners
know that regardless of what
the USDA says, Zone 6 rated
plants can be iffy here. At best,
we may now be firmly in Zone
5, but just because theres a
new map doesnt mean you
can now plant things you
couldnt plant before.
Of course, each garden will
still have microclimates that
allow you to overwinter some
things that normally would
succumb to winters cold, but
as a general rule, I still stick to
the Zone 5 (and colder) plants.
As you gain experience as a
gardener, these things will be-
come second nature to you
when youre looking for plants
to buy. Until then, keep them in
mind as you fill your shopping
cart.

Card shower
for Holocaust
survivor
William Meyer, the last

Indiana and a recent speaker
here Paulding, will be cele-
brating his 82nd birthday on
July 4. The Paulding County
Carnegie Library staff invites
everyone to bring a birthday
card for Mr. Meyer to the main
library in Paulding by June 22
and staff will mail them to this
special man.
There are days when Mr.
Meyer feels very alone. He
misses his wife of 60 years so
much and lives always with
the horror of his past, said li-
brary director Susan Pieper.
We know that a package of
cards from his Paulding
friends will brighten his day.
Thank you in advance.
Also, Meyer will be return-
ing to Paulding to share the
rest of the story on Aug. 13.
Call the library at 419-399-
2032 to reserve a seat for this
free special event.
Librarys summer reading
program: Dig Into Reading
PAULDING The main
historic Carnegie Library in
Paulding announces its 2013
Summer Reading Program.
Children will really dig this
years theme!
The 2013 program is open
to children in preschool
through fourth grade. Partici-
pants will dig the cool pro-
grams, prizes, story times and
much more. Kooky Kirk and
the entire youth services staff
will lead the program through
a summer of digging adven-
tures. All events are free.
Register today.
The fun begins with three
sessions at the main library
on June 25, July 2 and July 9.
The Grand Finale will be held
on July 16 at the Youth Lead-
ership Building at the fair-
grounds. Dont miss this fun
summer event, part of the Li-
brary Centennial Celebration.
To register, stop by the
childrens department of the
main historic Carnegie Li-
brary in Paulding. For more
information, contact the chil-
drens team at 419-399-2032.
The librarys summer read-
ing program has been a pop-
ular event for over 50 years.
Many parents and grandpar-
ents who bring their grand-
children today participated in
the librarys summer reading
program when they were chil-
dren.
Statistics prove that when
children stay plugged in to the
library and reading over the
summer months, they are better
prepared to enter school in the
fall ready to learn.

program at Paulding County Carnegie Library. Register now; the
fun begins June 25.
A Penny For
Your Thoughts....
By: Nancy Whitaker
BOO!
Do you remember telling
ghost stories when you were
young? We used to gather
around a fire at night, watch-
ing the fire and seeing who
could either make up or tell
the scariest story.
One of the favorite fright-
ening tales we all loved to tell
was that of Little Johnny.
Of course, even though we
knew the ending of the story,
the element of surprise at the
end never failed to make us
scream.
I dont know if kids even
tell this Little Johnny story
anymore, but it is really a
classic. Of course, the story is
always told better in the dark
shadows with a full moon
shining above.
The child in the story is
Little Johnny. He was a little
fellow and had just got tucked
in his bed for the night.
Johnny was not really scared
of ghosts because he had
never seen one and besides he
didnt believe in them.
That night was especially
dark and an eerie moon cast
shadows across Johnnys
wooden bedroom floor. He
sighed and snuggled down in
his warm feather bed and was
thinking about what he was
going to do tomorrow.
All of a sudden, loud foot-
steps echoed on the stairs out-
side his room. He heard a
loud breathing and a deep
thunderous voice said,
Johnny, I am coming to get
you. Johnny, Im on the first
step.
Johnny covered up his head
and peeked out just a little.
The ghastly voice then said,
Johnny, Im on the second
step. Johnny again covered
up his head, only this time he
did not peek out.
The footsteps were getting
closer and louder. Johnny
could hear the creature
breathing. The voice said,
Johnny, I am on the fifth
step.
Finally, the big monster
said, Johnny, I am on the last
step. I am going to get you
and eat you. I am very hun-
gry.
By this time all the kids lis-
tening to the story around the
fire were huddled together
waiting for the finale!
Oh no, cried little
Johnny. Please dont.
As the monster gets into
Johnnys room. Johnny is
shaking when all of a sudden
without warning the eerie
creature says....... BOO! Got
cha!
Just as it was years ago, we
all have some type of super-
stition and fears of the un-
known. Another story that is
always scary is Hansel and
Gretel.
The poor kids who were al-
most starving to death found
a house in the forest made of
candy and goodies. An old
witch lived there and she took
the children, locked them up,
fed them to fatten them up
and was planning to eat them.
I am sure you know the end
of the story and it has a happy
ending, however, that is not
one of my favorite fairy tales.
Rumor has it that there are
multiple ghosts right here in
Paulding. The old jail is one
of the places that is said to
have a ghost roaming around.
People also say there may be
a ghost at the library and at
the site of the old childrens
home.
Everyone has fear of the
unknown. Your fear may be
ghosts, monsters, werewolves
or chupacabras ... and that,
my dear, is a whole other
story.
Do you like to tell scary
stories? Have you ever seen
or heard a ghost? What scares
you and makes you scream?
Let me know and Ill give
you a Penny for Your
Thoughts. BOOOOOO!

Warmer weather is finally here and with the
rising temperatures comes the emergency of
ticks that may carry dangerous diseases, and
now are looking to feed.
People need to understand there is a risk of
getting sick from tick bites when they are out-
doors, and that there are things they can do to
keep themselves, their families and their pets
safe.
Ticks are small arachnids that hang out
along woodland edges, in woods, tall grass,
weeds and underbrush. Like mosquitoes, ticks
feed on the blood of birds, reptiles and mam-
mals, including humans and pets. In doing so,
ticks can transmit a variety of diseases, such
as Rocky Mountain spotted fever and Lyme
disease, which is rare in Ohio, but has been on
an increase statewide in recent years. Lyme
disease is transmitted by the blacklegged deer
tick, whose first established population was
discovered in Coshocton County in 2010.
Glen Needham, an entomologist and tick
expert who Ohio State University Extension,
states, Blacklegged deer ticks have been
found in 56 counties in Ohio and are now
likely established in 23 of those counties.
Lyme disease causes flu-like symptoms
such as fatigue, fever, headache and muscle
and joint aches. It also produces a distinctive
large, circular red rash that looks like a bulls-
eye. If caught early, the disease can be suc-
cessfully treated with antibiotics. Though not
known to be fatal, the disease can progress to
chronic arthritis, neurological symptoms and
cardiac problems if left untreated.
There are preventive ways to help make you
and your pets secure.
1. When going into wooded areas, wear
long pants and tuck them into socks, and tuck
shirts into pants, to keep ticks on the outside
of clothing where they are more easily visible.
2. Apply repellent containing permethrin to
pants, socks and boots and allow them to dry,
or use DEET-containing repellants with at
least 25 percent active ingredients.
3. Use anti-tick products on pets, ask your
veterinarian about Lyme disease vaccines for
pets where backlogged deer ticks are found.
4. Ticks have to feed for more than a day be-
fore they may transmit disease. If you are in a
tick infested area, check yourself, children and
pets daily.
5. If you find a tick, grasp it as close to the
skin as possible with a pair of tweezers, a
commercially design tick remover or pro-
tected thumb and finger, slowly pull the tick
out.
At the Nature Center, I try to clear back trail
paths to help prevent the possibility of a
walker catching any wood ticks. But this is not
always true, so as a suggestion, always follow
these five steps as mentioned to insure a safe,
possible wonderful experience at the Black
Swam Nature Center.
Also, still raising funds for the repaving
project. We are 80% complete, any donation
will be helpful..
If considering any donation, please write a
check to the Paulding SWCD paving project,
we can be reached at the OSU Extension
Building.
Ticks are out for blood

18 hours symbolizes
cancer journey
of the Relay, a huge crowd
joins the survivor celebration
lap and they all cross the finish
line together, as winners and
overcomers. This year they cel-
ebrated a fund-raising of
$115,000 and counting.
As is the case of life, this
years event was sprinkled with
some unexpected challenges;
at 11 p.m., the crowd of walk-
ers were ushered into the fair-
ground shelter as a severe
storm bearing a tornado warn-
ing passed over the event.
Like life, there were unex-
It was an 18-hour allegory of
all that mixes into a cancer
journey at this years Relay for
Life event held at the Paulding
County Fairgrounds this past
weekend.
Sunshine, rain, storms, light,
darkness, fluctuating emotions,
a walking journey and personal
support from those surround-
ing us all combined to repre-
sent an allegory of life for a
cancer victim.
Jillene McMichael, member
of the Relay Advisory Com-
mittee, gave a heartfelt com-
parison of the ingredients that
make up a Relay event with the
journey of cancer survivorship,
noting that the 18 hours of a
Relay event is symbolic of life
of a cancer victim.
It all begins with the bright
sunshine of the 6 p.m. hour; all
appears well, people are ex-
cited and there is a lot of energy
to life. But as the evening
wears on, darkness begins to
descend and by the time of the
10 p.m. luminary memorial
service, the mood has com-
pletely changed from the
brightness of the beginning to
the solemnness of recalling the
pain. Light has turned to deep-
ening darkness.
As night wears on, the
crowd lessens and eventually,
at the darkest hour, few are
around, the earth is silent and a
sense of loneliness and being
all alone sets in. There are very
few to converse with; like the
Garden of Gethsemane, the
disciples have gone to sleep
and there is a sense of bearing
it all alone.
Then, near the 6 a.m. hour,
there is a glimmer of light in
the eastern sky, then the sky be-
gins to brighten and the world
around us seemingly comes to
life. Our friends and relatives
are by our side once again and
the sun rises; there is the hope
of a new day and a new oppor-
tunity.
The walking journey re-
sumes and spirits brighten, it
seems like hope is gaining mo-
mentum. Then, at the 18th hour
By Jim Lopshire
OSU Extension educator
With the spring rain comes
the time for the Juniper to
flower. From a distance it
looks as if the blooms are
large and orange. Yet wait a
minute. Doesnt the juniper
produce cones?
On closer inspection, unease
turns to horror. Large, alien
looking, carroty gelatinous
tentacles seem to have sprung
up all over the tree. This is a
cedar rust fungal disease.
There are a number of
cedar rust diseases in which
the fungus alternates its life
cycle on two plant hosts. One
host plant is the cedar or ju-
niper species and the second
host can be an apple, crabap-
ple, or hawthorn. In many
cases these diseases are minor
problems, although the orange
colored fungal structures pro-
duced are highly visible in the
landscape.
One of the cedar rust dis-
eases is called Cedar-Apple
Rust. The gelatinous stage of
cedar apple rust occurs in the
spring. Most of the year, the
cedar stage of the fungi will
appear as a growth the size of
a golf ball on the branches.
The galls really do not harm
the cedar tree and will drop off
after a couple of years. These
galls are not very noticeable
except when they bloom in
the spring and it does not re-
ally harm the cedar trees.
For the rest of the year, the
cycle is spent on apple trees.
On the apple trees, the disease
does cause damage to the fo-
liage and the fruit. The dam-
age shows up as blotches on
the leaves and on the skin of
the apple fruit. Symptoms
of the Cedar-Apple Rust on
Trees and cedar rust disease
flowering crab and apple
trees are easily identified. In
late spring or early summer,
bright, yellow-orange spots
approximately 1/8 to 1/4 inch
in diameter form on the upper
surface of the leaves. These
spots gradually enlarge and
turn orange.
Leaves with numerous
spots drop during the sum-
mer. Premature defoliation
weakens the tree and reduces
fruit set and yield the follow-
ing year. Trees with severe
defoliation also are suscepti-
ble to other diseases. Cedar-
Apple Rust may cause fruit
lesions. Diseased fruits de-
velop deep pits or become
distorted and usually drop be-
fore harvest.
Removing and disposing of
the orange galls will improve
the appearance of the red cedar
and reduce the spores that
would in turn infect apple trees.
There is no need for fungicidal
sprays on cedar. The best way
to control the fungus on apples
is with timely applications of
the proper fungicide.
pected challenges with equip-
ment, in certain organizational
aspects and in other surprise
moments that occurred. But in
the end, it all blended into an
emotional finish of joy and re-
alization that another stride in
supporting research to defeat
one of the worlds most
dreaded series of illnesses.
The entire analogy is a re-
minder of the words of Psalm
23, Yea, though I walk
through the valley of the
shadow of death, I will not fear,
for your rod (designed to beat
away unexpected threats) and
staff (symbolizing rest while
working in the garden) are with
me.
You prepare a table (of
good food) before me in the
presence of my enemies (like
cancer) until my cup over-
flows.
Your goodness and love
will follow me all the days of
my life and I will dwell in the
house of the Lord forever (18
hours and beyond).

Antwerp CIC meets to discuss
economic development activities
ANTWERP The Antwerp
Community Improvement
Corporation (CIC) held a meet-
ing May 28.
Present were president
Randy Derck, secretary/trea-
surer Sue Derck, Mayor Tom
Van Vlerah, village administra-
tor Sara Keeran, Ray DeLong,
PCED director Tony Langham,
Councilman Larry Ryan,
Benny Wyckoff, John Kobee,
and consultant Larry Dillin.
The upcoming auction of the
CICs 47 acres of land east of
Antwerp was discussed. The
object of selling the ground is
to help fund improvements to
the interchange development at
24/49. The auction will take
place at the VFW on June 20
by Gorrell Realty.
Also discussed were
sewer/water, drainage and road
construction at the site to better
serve the area. Discussion is
ongoing with Dollar General,
which has an interest in locat-
ing at the interchange. Keeran,
DeLong and Kobee are making
arrangements to hold a meeting
of the 24/49 land committee
and Poggemeyer Design
Group regarding the details of
the new road leading back to a
64-acre development.
Dillin, reported that his
group has contacted a hotel
chain, a fast food chain, and a
retail store about locating at the
24/49 interchange. No obliga-
tions have been made by any of
these businesses.
Keeran reported that she is
working on a grant for a side-
walk to connect the downtown
with the new proposed inter-
change development.
Events were reported upon;
all agreed that the chamber,
ACDC and the Vancrest
McLaughlin Gymnasium are to
be commended on their activi-
ties of holding events that are
bringing new people and in-
come to Antwerp.
Langham discussed the need
for local investor involvement
for development of the town.
One asset that the community
doesnt want to lose is the
wildlife mounts of Dr.
Brickers. There may not be a
place to house it and the money
to secure the collection, but it is
a real attraction.
All the committee agreed it
would be good to hold another
public meeting to inform the
public of progress that has been
happening in Antwerp and so-
licit volunteers to serve on deci-
sion-making committees. A
notice will be published when
that meeting will be held.
If anyone has any questions
or input regarding the develop-
ment of Antwerp, contact
Randy Derck 419-258-5511, or
Tony Langham 419-399-8282,
or other of the meeting atten-
dees.
New companies and old
companies creating jobs
There is, of course, much celebration
when a new company comes into a com-
munity, as well there should be. However,
history has shown that year in and year
out it is the existing companies that are al-
ready located in a community that pro-
duce the most new jobs, according to
Paulding County Economic Development
director Tony Langham.
Information was collected from Jobs
Ohio on 300 projects across the state in
2012. According to a Cincinnati Enquirer
article, this data showed that state sup-
ported projects helped retain about 55,000
jobs from companies already in Ohio and
helped them add 13,000 more new jobs
through expansion. That is about nine
times the 7,700 jobs created in 2012 by
new businesses coming to a community.
The return on investment to market, ad-
vertise, and find new businesses for a
community is much less than to keep in
touch and offer incentives to local already
existing businesses that invest new money
to retain and/or expand jobs. The Cincinnati
USA Regional Chamber, which covers
southwest Ohio and northern Kentucky, es-
timates that as many as 80 percent of new
jobs come from existing companies.
Paulding County Economic Develop-
ment has been forced to market all within
the county for several years because of a
lack of funds to market outside the county.
However, much effort goes into staying in
touch with local businesses through an an-
nual banquet, newspaper articles, phone
calls, email and personal visits.
For information regarding starting or
expanding a business in Paulding County,
call 419-399-8282.
ARMED FORCES DAY WINNER Paul Flint, a combat veteran
with 13-1/2 months of service in Vietnam, was one of the vets
honored at United Way of Paulding Countys Armed Forces Day
event May 18. Flint said, Thank you, United Way, for recognizing
us veterans. He was the winner of a duffle bag filled with good-
ies that was donated by Baughman Tile. Here, Sonya Herber,
United Way director, presents the prize to Flint.

Crews progress on sewer separation
PAULDING The Village
of Paulding sewer separation
project mainline crew and lat-
eral crew are working in a lot
of different places.
Michael Karafa from Jones
& Henry Engineers provided
an update on the project.
Main Line Crew
With the high water eleva-
tion in Flat Rock Creek at the
commencement of work, the
mainline crew could not begin
the project where it was sup-
posed to. So, in order to main-
tain the schedule, the mainline
contractor mobilized further
upstream to install the mainline
sewer.
Since he was unable to start
where intended, he could not
tie in the lateral services, from
the main sewer to the right-of-
way, because there was no
place to empty the new sewer.
Recently, the high water ele-
vation has subsided in Flat
Rock Creek, and the mainline
sewer has been completed. The
crew is now moving upstream
connecting the lateral sewers.
Lateral Crew
In order to cure-in-place
sewers, all the sanitary laterals
have to be replaced from the
main line sewer to the right-of-
way. Once the laterals have
been completed, the manholes
will be replaced. Upon com-
pletion of the manholes, the
main line sewers will be cured-
in-place.
Chief has donated over $191,000
to area food pantries since 2009
DEFIANCE Chief Su-
permarket has held Good
Neighbor Day each spring
since 2009 and has donated a
total of $191,000 to local
food pantries over five years.
The $64,224 donated this
year was made possible by
customer food and monetary
donations, vendor support, a
percentage of sales from
Tuesday, May 7 and a food
donation from Chief.
Annette Hoeffel, Chief Su-
permarkets director of mar-
keting, said, Good Neighbor
Day was a total success.
Since 2009, Good Neighbor
Day has allowed Chief to do-
nate over $191,000 to local
food banks and pantries. We
had excellent participation
from all of our communities
and these donations will
make a difference for many
families that are facing diffi-
cult situations.
According to the West
Ohio Food Bank:
45% of clients served by
the West Ohio Food Bank re-
port having to choose be-
tween paying for food and
paying for gas for a car.
44% had to choose be-
paying for utilities or heating
fuel.
paying their rent or mortgage.
paying for medicine or med-
ical care.
Funds donated will allow
local food pantries to pur-
chase staple food items, in-
cluding produce, meat and
frozen foods, at greatly re-
duced prices from the West
Ohio Food Bank, which
serves more than 200 pro-
grams in 11 counties through-
out West Central Ohio.
Each dollar donation to West
Ohio Food Bank will provide
25 pounds of food that will
make 19 meals, enough to feed
two people for three days. Se-
lected local food pantries that
are not part of the West Ohio
Food Bank group will also
benefit directly from the do-
nated funds.

Commissioner discusses dog warden, EMA decisions
On Wednesday, May 29,
Paulding County Commis-
sioner Tony Zartman sat down
for an interview with Paulding
Progress publisher Doug Nut-
ter and staff writer Denise
Gebers to discuss the contro-
versy surrounding the com-
missioners decisions
regarding plans for the dog
wardens office and the county
emergency management
agency (EMA). This was prior
to Mondays decision to offer
the dog warden her job back.
Part 1 of 2
Paulding Progress: First
question. This is what people
want to know. Why do you
want to put the EMA and
the dog warden under the
sheriffs jurisdiction?
Tony Zartman: Doug I think
Id respond to that as far as
lets discuss the dog warden
first. Ive been a commis-
sioner for five years and it has
been my experience that the
dog warden position is the
least respected position in the
county. No matter what the
dog warden goes out and takes
care with either the persons
making the the complaint or
the person whose dog it is, one
of those people is going to call
and complain, guaranteed.
And Ive watched this for
years and Ive discussed this
with the dog wardens and we
had situations where the dog
warden has been threatened,
with physical harm.
And, talking with other
counties, and with the sheriff
the simple question was, if we
made the dog warden a sher-
iffs deputy, the respect comes
with that badge and the au-
thority that comes with that
badge, does it make a differ-
ence? And in the other coun-
ties who have already gone
down this road it has made a
huge difference for them. The
dog warden position is then
seen totally different. People
respect that position much
higher. Theyre not nearly as
belligerent to the dog warden
and it just opens up the possi-
bilities of, of how the call can
be handled much differently.
So it would be our choice or
our wish, to remove all of that
from the dog warden position,
all of that negativity and try to
overcome that and we hon-
estly, we feel that the commu-
nity is going to be better
served by that. That aside, the
other thing is if we put it under
the sheriffs department we
dont have a dog warden and a
deputy dog warden, were
going to have an entire sher-
iffs department able to re-
spond to calls. Whether it be
be the middle of the night or
weekends or the dog warden is
out out on another call, a
deputy will be able to go out
and respond, assess the situa-
tion and if they can handle it,
theyre going to handle it; if
they cannot handle it they will
be in contact with the dog
warden.
One of my chief concerns
with Georgia when she started
this job was, dont burn your-
self out. Because she was
working 24/7. She was not
getting days off and I told her
and been been telling her for
months, if your budget will
allow, you need to get to get a
deputy, which she was finally
able to do that, to find one to
fit the need. Not that she
couldnt have done it sooner,
but she finally found one that
fit the need. That was another
of our concerns. Because lets
face it, as a dog warden, its
Saturday night ... Sunday
morning, three oclock in the
morning you get a call and
youve been out how many
other times are you going to
respond in a timely manner? I
dont know that I would. But
with this new structure, a sher-
iffs deputy will respond ...
and assess the situation and...
PP: It is open to the whole
department then?
TZ: Yes. Then ... Jason
[Sheriff Landers] is looking
into putting dog snares in all
the vehicles. I mean, its not
just going to be one individ-
ual. That individual will have
set hours in the sheriffs of-
fice, five days a week.
PP: Go ahead with the
EMA.
TZ: We want to put that
under the sheriffs jurisdiction.
Originally our desire was ...
well, lets back up. The current
system we have with the EMA
board simply isnt working.
There is a tremendous lack of
oversight in that position. The
board officially met that I
know of only twice since Ive
been commissioner. And some
of those board members have
told us that they were never
even notified of the meetings.
So, we see that position as a
very necessary position but we
also see there are issues taking
place that arent being done
the way they should.
PP: Is there a commis-
sioner on that board?
TZ: There is. And since that
changed because Mr. [Tony]
Burkley was on that board.
When that change took place
with Fred [Commissioner
Pieper], thats when things
started becoming more an
issue. Its not that we didnt
have issues in the commission-
ers office before with the
board, its just the way I think
in which that board member,
the commissioner, handled it
from our aspect.
PP: Okay.
TZ: So, going back, origi-
nally, well our desire was to
make some changes, and with
the EMA board weve dis-
cussed this with several people
as far as how can we, what can
we do, you know. But, we be-
came aware that according to
the O.R.C. [Ohio Revised
Code] that I believe was passed
in 99, Im not sure, we have the
ability to organize under the
commissioners name, which
would then give us direct over-
sight over that position. At the
time when all this was talked
about, we were in discussions
with Jason as far as communi-
cation problems we were hav-
ing in the county because we
have first responders who can-
not respond back with 911 dis-
patch on their handheld radios
and its a issue for safety. We
were in the middle of dis-
cussing with, we had a meet-
ing with first responders to
discuss all this. And in our
mindset, it makes sense to put
it under the sheriffs office, to
give him oversight over it,
simply because he is in charge
of 911 dispatch. He knows the
calls that are going out. and it
would be easiest for him then
to activate the EMA when the
EMA is in his office. The EMA
personnel. So, is it an absolute
necessity? No. We felt that we
would gain efficiencies through
it.
PP: Okay. Good. So, when
it first appeared you implied
that was a safety issue with
the dog warden, then it was
about the oversight, then it
was complaints, and a person-
nel matter. Which of these are
the correct and true story, is it
all of them, or none of them?
TZ: Well, lets go back to the
complaints and the personnel
issue. When we held at meeting
that Denise and Melinda [Krick,
editor] were at along with the
other newspapers, Freds state-
ment, opening statement, never
said anything about personnel
issues. Never said anything
about complaints, it was more
about efficiencies and respect.
We were asked, someone asked
Fred if there had been com-
plaints or personnel issues in-
volving the dog warden. Out of
an honest answer, Fred looked
at me cause he really wasnt
100 percent sure were good
with this, he looked at me and I
said yes, there have been. Yes
there have. With any employee,
youre going to have com-
plaints.
PP: Right.
TZ: And they asked how
many. Honestly, there are nu-
merous. Was it our desire to do
this to make this change simply
to replace Georgia? Absolutely
not. Our desire was to make this
change to gain respect and effi-
ciencies in that office by being
able to utilize the other deputies.
The downfall which I explicitly
told Georgia when we talked to
her previously when we had her
come in and we met with her
before we finally made our de-
cision, that the only downfall in
our eyes was that she wouldnt
be able to fill this position be-
cause of nepotism. Because we
were under the opinion from
what wed been told that it
would have to be a sheriffs em-
ployee and with her husband
being there in management she
could not be an employee.
PP: And in the meantime
that has changed?
TZ: And That has changed.
Weve just gotten that ruling.
So, this was, had nothing to do
with disciplinary actions or per-
sonnel issues.
PP: So, also, with the
deputy dog warden [Ken
Huckabaa], same case? In
other words, you havent had
issues with the deputy dog
warden?
TZ: Absolutely not. He just
came on board. In fact, we had
discussed, I think I had said
something to Jason way back
when he was running for sheriff.
So this was back, October or
November, he and I were to-
gether and I said you know I
said we really have these issues
with the dog warden and its all
lack of respect. And I dont
know how this would work if
we could ever put it under the
sheriffs office to make some
changes there. Well, he got back
to us after we had hired Ken
Huckabaa as the deputy dog
warden. And said you know this
is what I found out. This is what
we can do. And he honestly
wants to oversee that position to
make it more efficient for
everybody. Does he have to do
that? Absolutely not. Is his of-
fice going to gain from it? Ab-
solutely not. The dog kennel,
the dog warden fees will remain
in the dog warden fund to be
used explicitly for the dog war-
dens salary, and the deputy dog
wardens salary and any equip-
ment and that they need to run
it and do it, for their job and to
maintain the shelter. Thats it.
PP: Theres widespread
speculation from many in the
county that somehow money
from the dog warden and
EMA will be directed to the
sheriffs department to open
up the jail. Is this true?
TZ: Absolutely not. They will
remain, well they currently are
special funds and they will re-
main special funds solely for the
purpose of maintaining those
agencies.
PP: According to a 21 News
report, the Paulding County
commissioners indicate they
are openly discussing the idea
of moving some money
around in the current budget
to come up with the cash
needed to staff the local jail
once again.
TZ: We had that discussion
quite a while ago with Jason. If
the numbers came in low
enough as far as the difference
between out-housing and open-
ing the jail we would certainly
try to make it work because its
going to serve our community
much better to have our own fa-
cility. But if the numbers are too
large, its not feasible for us.
Which, at this point in time, all
the indicators are that the spread
between those two options is
too great. Theres no way we
could cover that. So, I mean we
havent made a final determina-
tion, but all indicators are point-
ing to that scenario that we
would not be able to reopen.
PP: I know another thing
people are concerned about is
the cost and I know that the
commissioners are always
looking at costs. What cost
savings as far as moving the
EMA and the dog warden to
the sheriffs department, are
we looking at a cost saving? Is
it going to cost more money?
I know thats something that
the citizens of Paulding
County are looking at.
TZ: The dog warden will not
cost any more money because
actually we anticipate that with
the ability of all deputies being
able to cite people for not hav-
ing dog tags when they respond
to calls, we expect the dog tag
sales to go higher. I mean, thats
just one of the perks. In doing
that its going to give us the
ability to compensate the dog
warden the way they should be
compensated, and compensate
the deputy dog warden the way
they should be compensated.
Which right now is very ques-
tionable.
EMA? Is that going to cost
more? Under the new structure,
it will be a countywide program
where previously all entities
were responsible for their own
program whether they were
township, village or county. So
they were mandated to help to
compensate for the program.
And which all villages and
townships paid a certain amount
into the EMA fund, which we
supplemented that fund also,
and then they were able to re-
ceive a match from the state
EMA fund equal to all of our
compensation together. Under
the new plan, since its county-
wide, under the county commis-
sioners, these other entities are
not mandated to contribute to
this fund. It really falls entirely
on the countys shoulders to
fund this department. We had
discussions with townships and
villages and weve expressed
that to them, at least I have with
the ones that Ive met with, and
Ive said, you know, we cant
mandate you to continue but we
would certainly ask that you
contribute voluntarily because
you see that, that the program is
going to continue, were going
to seek improvements in the
program over what we currently
have and if we think its going
to be better and thats important.
PP: Will there be an EMA
director?
TZ: Yes, there will be. Ab-
solutely. Currently, it was our
desire to put this EMA director
under the sheriffs oversight be-
cause of 911 coordination out
there. This morning we pretty
much decided that, well we did
decide, that the EMA director
will remain a county commis-
sioner employee and our office
will have direct oversight over
that position. And the sheriffs
department will not be in-
volved.
PP: In the Ohio counties
that have switched their dog
warden to the sheriffs office,
most, if not all, have a hu-
mane society in place to pro-
vide assistance. We do not.
How do you think that could
effect how our shelter oper-
ates? I think what people
want to know, from what I
understand, the dog warden
now has a very low kill rate
and has been able to save the
animals since last August.
TZ: Shes had no kills since
August.
PP: Okay. I think a lot of
citizens are worried that
thats going to go way up, that
the sheriffs department isnt
going to have the same com-
passion to try to get animals
adopted, that -
TZ: Its not our desire as
commissioner nor the sheriff
desire to put dogs down. We
also recognize the responsibili-
ties set for the dog warden in the
O.R.C. We know that those re-
sponsibilities are going to be
met, at a much higher rate than
they were previously, with the
sheriffs supervision. We antic-
ipate that the dog warden will
be involved with a rescue group
and we would hope that the cit-
izens see that the responsibility
of that rescue doesnt fall
squarely on the countys shoul-
ders, that it really needs to be a
volunteer group that oversees
the rescues. The dog warden is
primarily responsible for taking
care of strays as far as picking
them up and peoples safety, not
taking a dog in as rescue in and
rescue out-
PP: Thats more of a hu-
mane society-
TZ: Thats more of a humane.
Thats not dog warden. So its
our desire, which Jason has
talked to several people about
this, that a volunteer group be
formed, friends of the Paulding
County Dog Shelter, if you will,
to oversee that rescue. Are they
responsible for day-to-day op-
erations at the kennel? Ab-
solutely not. The sheriffs de-
partment is still going to oversee
that. If it comes down the road
that theres enough volunteers
and they want to start helping
with taking care of animals at
the shelter, as long as they have
the sheriffs blessing thats fine,
but as far as actual rescue, were
hoping that individuals will be
able to see the benefit that were
going to gain with that badge
being worn by the sheriff, er-
the dog warden to overcome
their animosity and be willing to
bond.
PP: Lets talk a little bit
about the EMA. I know that
the commissioners, Joe
Burkard and other have gone
around to the townships and
villages to get them to sign a
paper to dissolve the EMA
board. How many townships
and villages have signed the
paper to dissolve that?
TZ: We have 11 signatures.
PP: I understand you need
to have 51 percent? Is that
correct?
TZ: We need to have 13 sig-
natures before we can officially
reform. We have currently, Im
thinking four signatures, four
entities that have taken it under
advisement, theyre waiting for
us to get back with them with
some additional information
and then they will act. Will we
get our 13 signatures? Ab-
solutely. Because as weve ex-
plained the situation to these
entities they see the benefits that
they are going to receive. And,
we are, we want to provide the
best service we can to the citi-
zens. And we feel that the cur-
rent organization has not been
able to.
PP: Because that was a
question from a reader, what
services and what degree of
services will be provided as a
result of these changes?
TZ: We personally see that
trainings that are offered to first
responders - the number and
quality of those trainings is cer-
tainly, its our desire to make
them go higher. And if we have
to invest a few more dollars to
make sure it happens, were
willing to, to ensure the safety
of our first responders, the vol-
unteers. They need to be taken
care of.
PP: Who will be responsi-
ble for hiring an EMA direc-
tor, will that be the
commissioners or the sheriff?
TZ: That will be the commis-
sioners.

new. You can pick up a magazine, try a

tions. Instead of selling frozen pizza or mag-
azines, gift cards are sold at face value, and a
percentage is given to PTO by the retailer.

giving, shopping, traveling, buying gas or
eating out.
The Paulding Elementary PTO will continue
the SCRIP program during summer vacation.
SCRIP order forms are available on the
school website (under Parents tab/PTO). To
view a complete list of retailers, please visit

calling Deedi Miller at 419-594-3548. The
PTO keeps some cards in stock, so call if you
need something.

Getting
connected
First of all, lets define sen-
iors as anyone over the age of
50. Why? Simply because
you can join AARP at age 50.
But no matter your age, using
a computer for the first time
can be very frightening and
intimidating. So, what is the
benefit of going the process of
learning a computer and what
can a senior do online?
1. Connect. Social network-
ing websites like Facebook
allow you to connect with all
the people you care about, no
matter the physical difference
that divides you.
This is a free way (doesnt
cost money) to stay in touch
and update each other about
your lives. Plus you can share
photographs and even movies
online.
There is no need to miss
your grandkids birthday.
While you may not be there
physically, you can see the
video of your grandkids blow-
ing out the candles on their
cake or opening the present
you sent them. This is a great
way to stay in touch.
2. Find Hobbies. Did you
ever want to try something
new? There are millions of
websites dedicated to every
possible subject so no matter
what your interests are its
easy to find all the informa-
tion you need.
3. Blogging. You have a
lifetime of experience, ideas
and opinions. So why not
share those with the world
or just your family. A blog can
be public or private and can
be a great way to express
yourself. Give it a try!
4. Shopping. Have you ever
wanted something thats
either hard to find or not
available locally. If it was ever
made chances are you can
find it online.
Whether its collecting coins
or ordering a new TV, there
are great discounts online and
often free shipping or no sales
tax. Plus you can compare
items, which mystery book
has the best reviews or which
power drill is most reliable?
Find all this and more online.
Most local libraries now
offer free Internet access and
computers. So if you are nerv-
ous about learning or wonder
how much youll actually use
a computer, start at the library.
You can always decide to pur-
chase later on if you really
enjoy it.
These are just a few of the
many reasons you should take
the time to learn the computer
and Internet. The possibilities
are endless and will help you
engage in more activities. No
matter what your interests or
passions are in life you can
find it online.

Cooper Farms celebrate 75 years
Jim Cooper, Dianne Cooper and Gary Cooper the three children of founders, Virgil and Vir-
ginia Cooper, are the primary managers of Cooper Farms.
OAKWOOD It was 1938
when Virgil Cooper set out to
raise his first flock of just 500
turkeys for the holidays and
started what is now Cooper
Farms. As they celebrate their
75th anniversary, the Cooper
family is humbled by the
growth they have seen and
thankful to all those who have
helped them reach this amaz-
ing milestone.
I doubt my parents could
have ever imagined the com-
pany being what it is today,
said Gary Cooper, COO. We
have learned that through
hard work and commitment
to your word, opportunities
can come your way and you
can become more than you
ever dreamed. Our small
town turkey farm has now be-
come the 12th largest turkey
producer in the U.S., and is
also one of the largest hog
producers in Ohio.
Though the company has
grown, the Cooper family
will always remember the
core values of a family that
have brought them to where
they are today, ones which in-
clude more than just blood
relatives.
The contributions everyone
has made as individuals and
as a team are what have
brought Cooper Farms such
success. The Cooper family is
proud to share that success
with both the team members
and the communities.
Family was always impor-
tant to Mom and Dad and it
remains important to all of
us, said Jim Cooper, CEO.
Dad always made sure that
his employees were happy
and felt like they were a part
of the Cooper Hatchery fam-
ily and we work to do that
still today. We try to take the
time to show them how much
we appreciate what they do
through special events, appre-
ciation lunches and our bene-
fits programs.
Not only are the team
members recognized as vital
to the success of Cooper
Farms, but so are the commu-
nities where they are located.
Each year Cooper Farms and
the Cooper Family Founda-
tion provide thousands of dol-
lars of support to local
schools, fire departments,
boy/girl/cub scouts, 4-H and
many other organizations that
help the communities and
children thrive.
My dad was always one
who gave back to the com-
munity, said Dianne Cooper.
When I was a kid in Girl
Scouts, if we went on a trip
Dad would always show up
with treats for all the girls and
he did the same for the boys.
And as a whole we like to do
that today too; we like to give
to the local groups and help
our community however we
can.
Cooper Farms is now run
by Virgil and Virginia
Coopers children, Jim, Di-
anne and Gary, and is still pri-
vately owned by the Cooper
Family. Several of the third
generation family members
also work for Cooper Farms
in various positions through-
out the company, with some
of fourth generation recently
joining the company.
Over the years, Cooper
Farms grew and diversified.
What started as a simple
hatchery has grown to four
locations. The Live Animal
Division encompasses two
locations; in the Oakwood
area are the turkey and hog
breeding farms as well as the
hatchery which hatches 15
million poults (baby turkeys)
a year. In the Fort Recovery
area are the nearly 300 family
contract farms which grow
the turkeys and hogs to mar-
ket weight and house chick-
ens for table eggs. The Food
Processing Division has the
processing plant in St. Henry
and a cooked meats plant in
Van Wert, where deli prod-
ucts are made.
A BRIEF HISTORY
Virgils operation grew
quickly during World War II,
in an attempt to meet the
large demand for meat. In
1944, he and his wife, Vir-
ginia, acquired one of the
hatcheries that had been sell-
ing him poults (baby turkeys)
for the past six years. Eventu-
ally growing out of that small
facility in downtown Oak-
wood, Virgil went on to build
a new state-of-the-art hatch-
ery in 1948. He built it in a
rural area next to his home;
allowing him to know there
would be room for growth
and expansion over the years.
After more than 42 years,
Virgil retired in 1980 and
handed over day-to-day man-
agement of the company, then
hatching about 4 million
poults a year, to his sons, Jim
and Gary, and daughter, Di-
anne.
The new generation has
continued to maintain Virgils
focus on quality and innova-
tion raising turkeys in a low
stress environment and grow-
ing Cooper Farms into one of
the largest family-owned
turkey processing companies
in the country.
ABOUT COOPER FARMS
Growing healthy live
turkeys, chickens, egg layers
and hogs and producing great
food products has been a tra-
dition for the Cooper family of
northwest Ohio for three gen-
erations. Founded in 1938 by
Virgil and Virginia Cooper,
Cooper Farms is still family
owned and operated.
Today, with the help of its
team members, Cooper Farms
is a leading food supplier, sell-
ing a variety of delicious fully
cooked and ready-to-cook
turkey, ham and chicken prod-
ucts to customers throughout
North America.

Spring clean-up
scheduled in Payne
By JOE SHOUSE
Correspondent
PAYNE The Payne Vil-
lage Council met in regular
session last Tuesday, May 28.
The meeting was scheduled a
day later due to Memorial
Day.
The council tabled its deci-
sion concerning the proposed
changes with the County
Emergency Management
Agency until additional infor-
mation detailing the new plan
is heard. Right now, none of
us are sure whats going on,
said Mayor Terry Smith.
In other business, three
Benton Township trustees
and three Harrison Township
trustees approached council
concerning the lack of a fire
and EMT contract between
the townships and village.
There has been no contract
since the first of the year.
When asked why the contract
has not been finalized, Mayor
Smith reported how some of
the verbiage needs to be clar-
ified.
Smith went on to say, This
is something that our lawyers
will need work through.
There is a meeting scheduled
at 8 p.m., Monday, June 3,
with both sides and hopefully
this will get ironed out then.
Deputy Fiscal Officer
Cheryl Halter emphasized
that even without the contract,
all fire and EMT services have
continued uninterrupted.
The motion to accept the res-
ignation of reserve police offi-
cer Caleb Miller was
unanimously approved.
In other business:
the EMS departmentre-
placed the heater core on squad
54
a new village lawn mower
has been leased and is being
used at this time
In police business, Chief
Rodney Miller sited two prop-
erties with a high weed notice.
The spring village clean up
will be held June 6-8. Dump-
sters will be located at the ele-
vator for residents use.
Council meetings are held
on the second and fourth Mon-
day of each month with the
next meeting scheduled for 7
p.m. June 10.
Tumblin 5K run, cleanup day
both set June 8 in Oakwood
By BILL SHERRY
Correspondent
OAKWOOD Oakwood
Village Council met May 28
with all council members
present. The meeting was one
day later than normal due to
the Memorial Day holiday.
Resident Kelly Tumblin
was granted permission to use
the Oakwood Fire Station for
the start/finish line and other
activities associated with the
Four Years Out of Heaven
5K run being held June 8 in
memory of Taylor Tumblin.
Registration for the run will
start at 9 a.m. with the race
starting at 10 a.m.
EMS coordinator Chad
Brown requested an execu-
tive session to discuss person-
nel issues. Upon returning to
regular session, council ap-
proved the appointment of
Jenna Kipp to run as an EMT
with a six-month probation-
ary period.
Village administrator John
Keyes informed council that
the villages spring clean-up
day is scheduled for 9 a.m.-2
p.m. on June 8. Boy Scout
Troop 19 will be helping
monitor trash disposal and
collecting recyclable material
at the dumpster site.
The Scouts have requested
that a councilman or village
official also be at the dump
site to prevent people from
taking the scrap metal they
collect from the trash. The
Scouts plan to use the money
raised from the scrap metal
sales for Scouting activities.
Keyes told council that the
dumpsters will be picked up
at 3 p.m.
Keyes said he mowed a lot
owned by Mary Branham and
it was noted that a $100 fee
would be assessed on the
property taxes.
Keyes advised Fire Chief
Kenny Thomas that the fire
department could use the
power washer as needed.
Thomas told council that
the air compressor has been
repaired.
Thomas reported that four
candidates Dalton Thomas,
Eric Elston, Allen Sharp and
Jonathan Leatherman have
completed fire classes.
The replacement fire truck
will be ready late June or
early July. The seller will re-
duce the cost of the truck by
$2,000 if it is picked up and
driven back to Ohio by some-
one from the Oakwood Fire
Department. Some of the
Oakwood firefighters have
volunteered for the assign-
ment. Thomas is checking
cost.
Police Chief Mark Figert
reported to council that the
following calls had been re-
ceived and cleared for the
month of April: assault (1)
domestic (1), unwanted per-
son (1), keys locked in vehi-
cle (2), suspicious vehicle (1),
theft (2), menacing (1), motor
vehicle accident (1), fire (1),
alarm (1), assist EMS (1), in-
formation (1), miscellaneous

criminal damaging (1), crim-
inal mischief (2), telephone
harassment (1), and unclassi-
fied criminal complaint. A
total of 23 incidents were re-
ported and cleared for the
month,
Councilwoman Vicky
Long reported that a red car
has been parked at a house on
North Second Street for a
number of months with no li-
cense plates. Chief Figert will
check and advise.
Council voted unanimously
to suspend the rules, declared
an emergency and then unan-
imously passed Ordinance

tion agreement for territory to
the village consisting of two
tracts of land. Tract 1 consists
of 40.285 acres of land and
