TV series looks at unsolved Oakwood homicide
Progress published this article:
Noffsingers death ruled homicide
Paulding County sheriffs deputies
are investigating the death of Alma
Delgado Noffsinger, 29, who was
found in her home on Fifth Street in
Oakwood at 9:16 a.m. Dec. 17.
Dr. Don K. Snyder, Paulding County
Coroner, ruled her death a homicide.
The probable cause of death was a
basal skull fracture from multiple
blows to the head, said Snyder.
According to John Keeler, Paulding
County Sheriff, the fatal wound was in-
flicted with a blunt weapon and that the
victim was home alone at the time of
her alleged murder. We are running
down some leads, Keeler said.
An unsolved 1981 homicide near
Oakwood will be the focus of an
episode of the TNT series Cold
Justice. The episode is set to air on
Friday, Aug. 8.
TNT offers the following synopsis of
the episode, titled Second Thoughts:
Alma Noffsinger, 29, was an attrac-
tive, fun-loving mother of three young
children. She was recently divorced
from her second husband, Steve, and
the two were in a custody battle over
the child they had together. Throughout
Almas marriage to Steve, she main-
tained a good relationship with her first
husband, David, the father of her two
older children. Davids new girlfriend
was reportedly unhappy with their
close contact.
On Dec. 17,
1981, a neigh-
bor noticed
that Almas
front door had
been open all
m o r n i n g .
Concer ned,
she walked in-
side Almas house, calling out for her
when, to her horror, she came upon a
lifeless Alma lying face-down in her
bed. There was blood all over the
room. Now, almost 33 years later, after
being approached by Almas family,
newly elected Paulding County Sheriff
Jason Landers has reopened Almas
case and as-
signed two
seasoned in-
vestigators to
it, Deputy
Robert Garcia
and Lt. Brion
Hanenkrat t .
During the
past months,
theyve formed a close relationship
with Almas family and have vowed to
put whoever is responsible behind
bars.

Possible bobcat sighted in county
By DENISE GEBERS
Progress Staff Writer
FORT BROWN Last week the
Paulding County Sheriffs Office re-
ceived what it believed to be a credible re-
port of a large cat in Brown Township.
Sheriff Jason Landers issued a press re-
lease July 22 stating the animal was seen
running north of the intersection of roads
151 and 108 on the east side of the road.
Two contractors working in the area were
the source of the information.
Additionally, several days preceding
this sighting, a local resident told deputies
that they had heard the cry of a cat in the
area. They said it did not sound like a
normal cat.
The animal was described as 40-50
pounds, approximately knee high, a long
body and the color of a bale of straw,
said Sheriff Landers. The description
could be that of a bobcat or mountain
lion.
I am sending out this press release to
inform the residents of this area what was
reported. We have not had any reports of
livestock being killed or property dam-
age, he continued. However, residents
might pay attention while outside, espe-
cially when small children are playing
outdoors.

As in the past, there will be many food and
craft booths ready to serve the park attendees as
well as a variety of informational tables. The
Little Maumee Express train will be on hand to
offer rides to the children rides.
New this year will be a chalk walk for the
kids and miniature golf.
Other popular activities returning this year
will include the car show hosted by Larry
Copsey and Dan Bowers. The duck race will
also make its way down the lazy river, or if your
talent is baking, there will be a pie baking con-
test.
The public is invited to bring their retired flags
and leave them at the chamber table for a dis-
posal ceremony at 4 p.m. by the Antwerp Boy
Scouts and the Antwerp VFW.
There is still time to have an informational
booth. Please note, if anyone has information or
goodies to distribute, they are required to have
a table so the people can come visit it.
There is something for everyone. Bring a lawn

PAULDING Paulding
County commissioners an-
nounced on Monday they have
put out a letter asking for bids
to do major repairs on the local
courthouse. Commissioners
are asking for bids on a pro-
posal for cleaning, sealants,
masonry repair, brick repair or
replacement, sheet metal and
water repellent.
The need for many of these
repairs is not really noticeable
from the street, commented
Commissioner Tony Zartman.
When you get up by the dome
and look behind the chimneys,
it really looks bad.
Its to the point where we
are even concerned about pub-
lic safety issues, continued
Zartman. If some brick were
to let go and land on the side-
walk, it could be a very dan-
gerous situation. This is a pri-
ority yet this year.
Zartman said that commis-
sioners hope that things can get
rolling as soon as a proper bid
is accepted, prior to the coming
of late fall and winter weather.
We are aware that this is
going to be a very expensive
project, but it has to get done.
Our office is committed to the
preservation and maintenance
of this beautiful building for
future generations to appreci-
ate, observed Zartman. We
want people to see the level of
pride we have in our commu-
nity by looking at our court-
house square.
Zartman said that diligence
is also being given to grounds
keeping and more flowers. He
said that commissioners are
well aware of the need to keep
the community looking good
in order to attract new busi-

As for the fire department,
their office computer needs the

As of Monday, the sheriff
said his office had not been
notified of any other sightings.
He said several calls have
come in indicating other peo-
ple have seen such cats in the
area. These callers told
deputies the animals are just
living and not hurting any-
thing.
Landers office does not
keep record of large cat
complaints, but he did remem-
ber a call from the early
2000s. He said people reacted
by going on their own lion
hunts in areas where the ani-
mals were seen.
According to the Ohio
Department of Natural
Resources website, bobcats
(Lynx rufus) are native to Ohio
but were extirpated (meaning
it was present at the time of
European settlement, but has
since disappeared) from the
state in 1850. Although sight-
ings are relatively rare around
the state, they have been on
the rise. Between 1970 and
2009 there were 359 verified
reports with 92 of them in
2009 alone.
The ODNR species guide
describes the bobcat as having
short, dense, soft fur that
varies in color from light gray,
yellowish brown, buff, brown
and reddish brown on the
upper parts. The middle of the
back is usually darker than the
sides and their undersides are
whitish with spots or bars. The
backs of their ears are black
with white spots and black
tips. Their tails, which are 4 to
7.5 inches long, are also black.
ODNR does not have list-
ing for mountain lions (Puma
concolor), also known as pan-
thers, cougars and pumas. No
information about sightings
was listed either.
Animal Diversity Web,
published by University of
Michigan, indicates these
largest American cats ranged
from coast to coast in North
America and into South
America in earlier times.
It says the big cats are slen-
der with short muscular limbs.
Coloration varies from yel-
lowish brown to grayish
brown with pale under belly
and whitish chests. They can
weigh from 64 to 265 lbs. and
are 34 to 61 inches long. Their
tails are long and cylindrical
and about one-third of the an-
imals total length.
The site indicated most
mountain lion sightings in the
eastern U.S. are likely to be
escaped or abandoned pets.
Big cat sightings in
Paulding and surrounding
counties have been mentioned
numerous times on social
media outlets in the past few
years. Rumors about big cats
have occasionally surfaced for
several decades.
Sheriff Landers said the
local game warden was noti-
fied of this most recent report
and is involved in the investi-
gation. He urged residents to
contact his office if they see an
animal matching the descrip-
tion he gave and not to take
action on their own. Call 419-
399-3791 or visit the office

gohsheriff.com and leave an
email for the sheriff.

mitted to restoring this build-
ing and maintain it so that fu-
ture generations can enjoy it
and be proud.
The current structure was
built in 1886 after approxi-
mately 50 years of use of a
prior wooden structure on the
courthouse square. The build-
ing is considered to be two and
a half stories high with a cen-
tral tower. It is a brick building
with a stone foundation.
In 1974, due to its well-pre-
served architecture, it was list-
ed on the National Register of
Historic Places.
nesses.
If were not willing to in-
vest in ourselves, nobody is
going to invest here either,
said Zartman.
Zartman said that bids have
already been advertised on a
national website for contrac-
tors.
There seems to be a great
deal of interest in contractors
actively seeking bids, said
Zartman.
In the past few years, com-
missioners have renovated the
dome, put a new roof on the
dome and the courthouse,
painted and trimmed, taken
care of electrical concerns and
accomplished several small re-
pairs inside the building.
This is the big and final
project weve been working
towards to bring the court-
house up to where it should
be, Zartman. We are com-
enough moisture, the brace
roots cant grow.
Can those plants recover?
That depends on the severity
of the situation, observed
Noggle. Right now we are or
have been at the peak of polli-
nation. The plants need plenty
of moisture.
Fortunately, said Noggle,
rains late last week and over
the weekend are going to be a
boost to many of the situa-
tions.
These were well-timed
rains with pollination going
on, Noggle continued.
Another thing we are look-
ing at right now is corn goose
necking, which makes it more
difficulty to harvest.
Two other conditions that
Noggle is currently monitor-
ing is in beans brown spot
and frogeye leaf spot. Noggle
pointed out that if there are
brown spots on later planted
fields, it is likely that the added
costs of the application com-
bined with the yield loss from
later planting are going to hurt
the overall budget for that
field.
Noggle said that frogeye is
caused by the fungus, cer-
cospora sojina and causes
whiskers on the underside of
the bean leaf in spots.
Some areas this past week-
end received large hail, but
there doesnt appear to be
widespread damage. Most
rainfall amounts ranged from
close to an inch in the western
part of the county to nearly
two inches in some areas
southeast of Paulding.
However, in the extreme
southeast, hardly any rain fell.
Weather specialist Rick
McCoy said that the National
Weather Service doesnt be-
lieve that there is going to be
any major changes in the
weather pattern early in
August with the exception of a
little drier pattern setting in

Temperatures still look to be

McCoy.
system can be blown over
sooner by strong winds.
I have noticed several
lodging factors to be con-
cerned about, said Noggle.
Roots are pretty shallow, in
some ways due to soil com-
paction. If youre in a dryer sit-
uation, if you dont have
ground.
The danger of that, said
Noggle, is that if a dry spell
comes, roots will not be
formed in a way that is needed
to get down to where moisture
deeper in the ground is still
available. In addition, corn

One of those is corn lodg-

By JOE SHOUSE
Over the years, many things have
changed since I was a student in the
public schools. I remember taking 15
cents to school and it would entitle
me to a carton of milk every day for
a week. Book rental was around $6
per semester and lunch at the school
cafeteria was 35 cents. I would go to
school on the first day wearing new
pants and shirt and pencil in hand. It
was a simpler kind of life back then
or at least I thought so.
Now, many years later, its a new
era, a new day, and as changes take
place I could not help but notice the
school supply lists that each parent is
required to fulfill before the first bell
rings on the first day back to school.
After reading the long list of supplies
necessary in order to go to school, it
made me relish the good old days
and at the same time wonder how
young families with more than one
child manages these days.
The idea of buying all the school
supplies, paying book rental, pur-
chasing school clothes, gym shoes
and back packs and lunch boxes.
Then sporting events start and tickets
to games need to be bought and soon
it will time for school pictures. That
is some kind of list and I am proba-
bly leaving something out.
With a sigh I am so thankful that I
dont have to fulfill the long list
today. I did that already a few years
ago. Not once but twice. I guess I
were packaged in twos or fours or
even a dozen. So, you make a deci-
sion on what to buy and hope every-
one will be happy. Kleenex was to be
200 count not the easiest thing to
find. I thought about trying to slip in
a box that had 160 count but I kept
looking and finally found 200 count
Kleenex. Mission accomplished. I
guess the lists could have been a lit-
tle more specific.
I must admit, I left each shopping
experience frustrated and I didnt
have a fourth grader hanging on to
my leg making sure I did it right. It
was all make-believe for me and I
still found myself talking to myself
in aisle 7 as I stared at the high price
Expo dry erase markers. For those of
you that are experiencing the real
thing - good luck. You will probably
be talking to yourself before its all
over.
I confess I was able to make
most all my purchases and with the
exception of an item or two I did al-
right, but you will have to take a lit-
tle trip in order to get the deals. So,
here is what I discovered on my
lets pretend shopping trips, al-
though the prices are real.
A fourth grader attending
Antwerp: The two large stores were
about the same with one being
$20.20 while the other was $19.73.
The local store came in at $35.69.
A fourth grader attending
Paulding this year: One large store
was $41.31 and the other $36.24.
Again, the local store came in at
$48.98.
A fourth grade Oakwood student:
The two larger stores were very
close with one at $26.71 and the
other being $24.45. The local busi-
ness where most all the supplies can
be purchased was $53.29.
A fourth grader attending Grover
Hill will spend $38.72 and $43.72 at
the two discount box stores while at
the local store within the county the
total came in at $78.40.
Here are some of my observations
concerning the stores visited. There
were deals at all three and even the
local store had the lower price on a
few of the items. If money is not the
problem and time is important then
shop local. You can get the job done
in 30 minutes.
The selection and choices were
about the same at the two large de-
partment stores. Prices were cut deep
on crayons, glue, index cards and
notebooks. I had a hard time finding
red ink pens, folders with pockets
and prongs and I never did find
medium point markers.
Like anything we purchase today,
it is always best to shop around in
order to save money. It will take time
and effort but its the way it is and
there is no one to fault. However, I
look back when I went to school on
the first day with pencil in hand and
15 cents in my pocket and the world
seemed alright and I guess the world
is alright today.
have paid my dues. But I cant help
but sense the pressure that many fam-
ilies must be feeling as the middle of
August approaches and school is just
around the corner.
And while living in Paulding
County, unfortunately, many of the
purchases pertaining to school will
need to be made at one of the larger
discount box stores we are all famil-
iar with, outside of the county. So,
purchasing many of the school sup-
plies will require a trip probably
more than one trip. And with gas at
nearly $4 a gallon, the costs continue
to rise.
So, to get a better understanding
about these school supplies and how
much they will cost, I decided to do
my own unscientific research.
Therefore, I decided to play the game
called lets pretend. So, I went on a
shopping trip (actually three trips) to
buy school supplies for my fourth
grader (thats the pretend part). I
wanted to see first hand what many
families will be attempting to do over
the next few weeks. Just how much
money will they be shelling out for
glue, crayons and pencils.
Now, I write this, not to blame
teachers, the school district, the gov-
ernment or president. Its 2014 and
its just the way it is and families
have to deal with it the best they can.
But I do write this, almost as an apol-
ogy, to those of you who never expe-
rienced $6 book rental and lunches
for less than a dollar.
With list in hand I went shopping
for my pretend fourth grader who
had no voice in my decision making
when it came to making critical pur-
chases. If I could purchase 20 pencils
for 99 cents then I got the pencils
even if I only needed ten and if it was
the brand name the teacher expected
then I tried to hold fast to that request
as well. I shopped at two large dis-
count stores that are out of county
and I also purchased school supplies
in Paulding County at a chain store.
Since the lists were different for each
school I shopped as if my fourth
grader was attending Grover Hill,
Oakwood, Antwerp and Paulding.
Four schools with different request
items when it comes to school sup-
plies.
There is nothing scientific about
my shopping trips. I picked a day
and went to the various stores. I had
no flyers advertising specials and no
coupons. I simply tried to get the
best deals.
What I did discover was how the
lists were somewhat incomplete. For
example, a fourth grader is to have a
highlighter but there are several
styles, colors and widths including
fine, medium and wide. Or, a box of
Ziploc bags, quart size or gallon size.
But, how many in a box should I
buy?
Well, since I was buying them, I
bought the cheapest. Or there were
things like glue sticks where the re-
quest was three sticks and yet they

Oakwood EMS coordinator resigns;
new council member appointed
By BILL SHERRY
Correspondent
OAKWOOD EMS coordinator Chad
Brown has resigned effective July 31. Mayor
Erhard Bud Henke thanked Brown for the
time and effort that he has put into the job.
Oakwood Village Council appointed
Pam Erford as temporary EMS coordinator
beginning July 31.
Brown indicated that he had fnished the
grant cycle on June 30 and had ordered the
following equipment from grant money: 10
EZ Drivers, batteries for the Phillips monitor,
two AEDs, new backboards, new stair chair,
C-pap equipment and new Sager splints.
Brown advised council that the Phillips
monitor needs a motor. Brown also noted
that the backup squad printer driver needs
replaced at a cost of $1,500.
Brown indicated that they had four people
interested in the basic EMT course, which
consisted of 150 hours of training over fve
or six months to become a basic EMT. It
was noted that a need for additional EMTs is
critical at this time and if anyone is interested,
they should contact the village offce. Brown
also offered to train frst responders from the
Auglaize Township Fire Department.
Auglaize Township Trustee Bill Wiles
commented that the response time from
Oakwood EMS was too long. Mayor Henke
told council and Wiles that he and Police
Chief Mark Figert were investigating several
options, including setting up joint districts,
more training, Henry County model, and
possibly hiring an EMT to cover from 6 a.m.-6
p.m. Henke stated that some changes had to
be made and they were actively working to
get response time down.
Four village residents were present to
inquire about the vacant council seat. Each
candidate introduced themselves. Council
voted to seat Cheryl Ellwanger as the new
council member to bring the total council
members to six.
The other three village residents that
were interested in the council seat were
Frank Marvin, Ron Wisenberger and Eric
Hanenkratt.
Chief Figert reported the following calls
received and cleared in June: welfare check
(2), 911 hang up (1), child abuse (2), keep
the peace (1), criminal damaging (1), assist
EMS (5), and trash complaint (1). Thirteen
complaints were reported and cleared for the
month.
Figert has completed a 32 hour feld sobriety
class in Paulding and fnished the basic EMS
refresher class.
Village administrator John Keyes told
council that an aerator motor failed last week
and they had to buy and install a new motor.
Keyes also noted that they were getting ready
for the upcoming Oakwood Homecoming
weekend.
Mayor Henke reminded council that Cooper
Farms will be having an open house at their
new biosecurity facility from 11 a.m.-3 p.m.
on July 31. The facility is located east of
Oakwood on Ohio 613.
Mayor Henke distributed information
to council regarding House Bill 5, which
concerns municipal tax reform. Some of the
provisions of the bill indicate that if this bill
passes there would be reduced revenue from
municipalitys income tax.
Henke provided council with information
regarding the Local Government
Transportation Survey which will begin a
regional transportation plan on July 1, 2015.
The next regular council meeting will be at
6:30 p.m. Aug. 18.

Board of County Commissioners met
in regular session with the following
members present: Roy Klopfenstein,
Fred Pieper, and Nola Ginter, Clerk.
Absent: Tony Zartman.
MEETING NOTES OF
APPOINTMENTS
Edward Bohn, EMA director, met
with the commissioners for his weekly
scheduled meeting. He reported he is
working on achieving administrative
privileges with Facebook to assist in
reporting adverse weather conditions.
Bohn will be attending the fire
chiefs meeting tomorrow evening
and hopes to address the guidelines
for dangerous weather updates. He
reported Van Wert County has had 20
tornados since 1970. Paulding County
has had six tornados in that same time
frame.
Bohn has been working with
Defiance Countys EMA director
to complete Paulding Countys
LEPC fscal report. The Paulding
County Auditors offce is assisting
by running revenue and expense
reports. The application for Bohn to
be approved for the LEPC has been
forwarded to the state. Once Bohn
is approved by the state, he would
like to set a meeting of the Paulding
County LEPC. He plans to try and
schedule an exercise this fall and also
next spring.
Bohn was reminded there are three
new weather sirens being stalled,
fnanced with CDBG dollars. Bohn
noted the sheriffs offce tests the
sirens every Wednesday at 1 p.m.
He will ask the fire chiefs for a
representative to be responsible for
making sure the sirens are working
by being at their physical location
on Wednesday at 1 p.m. All non-
working sirens should be reported to
its respective subdivision if repairs
need to be made. Bohn said he could
assist if the problem is with the radio.
Bohn then noted he recently
applied for a grant for hazmat
training. The grant would pay for
supplies and props to use during the
training/exercise. He noted there are
counties that may not use their entire
grant award. The funds they return
are reissued to other counties. Bohn
reported he will be purchasing EOC
(Emergency Operations Center) fow
charts unless he fnds some in the
offce or storage unit. He will also
contact Jeff Beattie at Ohio EPA
regarding his LEPC application
approval.
Bohn has also been working on
a listing of damaged equipment and
office supplies resulting from the
mercury spill. The list will be turned
into the countys insurance.
Eric Baughman, Baughman Tile;
and Ben Moore, Moore Farms
Baughman and Moore met with the
commissioners to discuss the tiling
of the farm north of Paulding on U.S.
127. Moore Farms has the current cash
rent agreement and has requested the
commissioners consider tiling two 80-
acre felds.
Baughman, Moore and the
commissioners reviewed aerial maps
of the felds. Moore commented he
hopes to have the wheat harvested
soon and would like to start the tiling
project soon after. He wont be able
to determine the outlet needs until he
begins digging. Baughman asked that
the commissioners and Moore keep
him up to date on the project and its
progress.

MEETING NOTES OF
APPOINTMENTS
Brion Hanenkratt, E-911
coordinator, Hanenkratt reported the
dates have been set for reprogramming
the radios for the sheriffs office,
the fire departments, the township
trustees, and the schools. The sheriffs
offce will be coordinating the process.
Hanenkratt noted he had attended
the fre chiefs meeting last night. He
said it was well attended.
Sheriff Jason Landers presented
2014 budget projections for wages,
equipment and supplies. He explained
certain equipment purchased are
reimbursable with grant dollars.
Sheriff Landers then reviewed the
inmate report for June, 2014. There
were a total of 53 inmates held during
the month of June with days served
totaling 696. A total of 33 trips to
the Putnam County Jail were made,
totaling 2,747 miles.
The biannual report for the frst
half of 2014 was also reviewed. A
total of 213 inmates were held the frst
six months of 2014 with days served
totaling 3,767. A total of 267 trips
(18,373 miles) were made in the frst
half of the year.
Comparing the frst half of 2014 to
the same time frame in 2013, it was
noted the total number of inmates were
down by 13 in 2014. Sheriff Landers
commented there was a savings in out-
housing costs of $50,600.20 due to the
agreement made with Putnam County.
Landers also noted a total savings
of $51,854.48 in medical costs (billed
versus what was negotiated to pay).
He commended his staff member for
working with the medical providers to
negotiate a discount on services.
Sheriff Landers announced he has
scheduled informational meetings to
discuss the feasibility of reopening the
jail. His goal is for the meetings to be
informative. He noted he wants the
public to know the facts so they can
decide what they want for Paulding
County.
The commissioners updated
Sheriff Landers on the status of
Paulding County LEPC. Mr. Bohns
application has been submitted to
the state for approval. Once he is
approved, LEPC meetings should
resume on a regular basis. Sheriff
Landers commented the recent LEPC
training was very informative. He
personally participated and learned
the importance of designating duties
during an emergency situation.
He also commented having an EOC
(Emergency Operations Center) in
Paulding County should be a priority.
County Court Judge Suzanne Rister
reported traffic-related cases have
increased signifcantly. Criminal and
civil cases are both on the increase as
well.
Rister noted the process of making
her position full-time is slowly
progressing. The Supreme Court has
approved the change. The legislative
branch is next to act. Judge Rister said
she hopes to fnd out more when she
attends the judges conference next
week in Sandusky.
Klopfenstein reviewed the
blueprints for the proposed remodeling
of the CSEA half of their building.
Judge Rister briefly discussed
the law library and the countys
requirements to maintain it. She talked
about the fees collected and what the
fees cover.
EMA director Edward Bohn
reported on the recent heavy rainfall in
the southwest section of the county. He
stated he was out and about and noted
good draining with no apparent serious
basement/home fooding situations.
He then presented a list of supplies
and equipment damaged by the recent
discovery of a mercury spill at the
EMA offce.
Bohn also reported he had attended
the fre chiefs meeting. He is currently
working on new SOG (Standard
Operating Guidelines) with the sheriff
and other frst responders.
He informed the commissioners
the fre chiefs have the capability of
alerting his own area of severe weather
conditions by activating their siren.
Tornado warnings/watches alerts will
still be the county EMA responsibility.
The commissioners informed Bohn
the report from the recent LEPC
training exercise is available at the
health department. Klopfenstein
updated Bohn on the SHSP (State
Homeland Security Program) grant,
telling him the grant has been used in
its entirety.

Support for the
livestock farmers
Dear Editor,
Ive decided we need to
write in support of livestock
farmers in our area. We have
turkeys, hogs and mink all
within a mile of where we
live. We purchased our farm
in 1962 and at that time we
had livestock and the farms
around us some did also. I
see three of the complainers
all left here, made their
living some where else,
came back to their inherited
farm or ground, and are now
complaining about the quality
of air. We think farmers are
responsible here and hope
they stay.
We purchase manure to put
on our felds. Yes, it smells
a day or two. When you
live in the country, the big
machinery, the buzzing fies,
the smell of manure and the
mist of pesticides are all here.
We have several new
homes and people have
purchased existing homes
here. We have lots of people
riding bikes and walking here
that dont live here. We dont
feel our property value has
went down.
Our largest employer in the
county is a large livestock
producer and it doesnt make
sense to run them out of the
county because a livestock
barn may go up west of
Paulding. Ive seen people
that were struggling to make
a living now have jobs and
are thriving.
We support the livestock
industry in Paulding County.

Sen. Brown urges Obama Admin. to
protect Paulding County cement jobs
WASHINGTON, D.C.
Last week, U.S. Sen. Sherrod
Brown (D-OH) urged the
Obama Administration to
protect Paulding Countys
cement industry and the
thousands of local jobs it
supports.
In a letter to United States
Trade Representative (USTR)
Michael Froman, Brown
called for the Administration
to crack down on Canadas
attempt to illegally subsidize
a cement plant in Quebec,
which would specifically
target the U.S. market,
hurting the ability of local
manufacturers to compete.
U.S. cement companies would
be affected, including Lafarge
North America, which has a
plant in Paulding.
Paulding County workers
can compete with anyone
when given a level playing
feld, Brown said. But if
countries like Canada illegally
subsidize their industries,
and target the U.S. market,
it gives their products an
unfair advantage. I urge the
administration to investigate
the nearly $500 million
subsidy package proposed
for the Quebec plant, which
will directly compete with
Lafarge North Americas
facility in Paulding. Actions
must be taken in order to
protect Paulding jobs and the
economy of northwest Ohio.
Specifcally, the Canadian
federal government and
Quebec are seeking to offer
a nearly half billion dollar
fnancial package to McInnis
Cement to help its startup
in Port-Daniel-Gascons,
Quebec. The size and nature
of these subsidies could
violate Canadas World
Trade Organization (WTO)
obligations and give its
cement industry an unfair
advantage in the U.S. market.
That is why Brown is calling
for the USTR to investigate
these subsidies and put a stop
to them in order to protect
Pauldings workers and
businesses.
Lafarge North America
appreciates the inquiry to
the United States Trade
Representative to address a
serious threat to U.S. cement
producers and their workers,
said John Stull, president
and Chief Executive Offcer
of Lafarge North America.
Given the excess cement
capacity in the Province of
Quebec, the McInnis Cement
plant makes no economic
sense. Lafarge believes
that the plant would not
be built without enormous
support from the federal
and provincial government.
Lafarge joins Senator Brown
in urging the U.S. government
to engage with the Canadian
government regarding the
provision of subsidies that
appear to be prohibited by
WTO rules and threaten
material harm to the U.S.
cement industry.
Brown continues to fght
for Ohio manufacturers
ability to compete on a level
playing field. Described as
Congress leading proponent
of American manufacturing,
Brown is a member of
the Senate Manufacturing
Caucus, currently vice-chair
of the Senate Auto Caucus,
and was recently named
incoming chair of the Senate
Steel Caucus.
In April, bipartisan
manufacturing jobs legislation
introduced by Brown and
U.S. Sen. Roy Blunt (R-MO)
moved one step closer to
becoming law. Brown-Blunt
would establish a National
Network of Manufacturing
Innovation (NNMI) and create
thousands of high-paying,
high-tech manufacturing
jobs while enhancing the
United States role as the
worlds leader in advanced
manufacturing.

Watershed: Understanding
what is and its purpose
By Mark Holtsberry
Education specialist
Paulding SWCD
The general population has
heard of this term, or have
they? This word seems to be
the main topic of interest these
days in Paulding County.
A watershed is all the land
area that contributes runoff to
a particular body of water. It
is a catch basin that guides all
the precipitation and runoff
into a specifc river system. A
watershed is the geographic
locus of a water-driven
dynamic that affects all living
and nonliving things within its
boundaries.
Watersheds come in many
different shapes and sizes and
have many different features.
Watersheds can have hills or
mountains or be nearly fat.
They can have farmland,
range land, small towns
and big cities. Parts of your
watershed may be so rough,
rocky, or marshy that theyre
suited only for certain trees,
plants and wildlife.
Part of the natural process of
a watershed is self-destructive.
The rivers that give it its form
are engaged in the gradual
erosion and wearing down of
the highlands that contact it.
The key here is a gradual
part of a natural dynamic
balance. Most natural erosion
is a gradual process. Recent
intensive watershed use and
impact by people has led
to increased degradation of
watershed quality.
Human settlement began
to affect the gradual rate
at which watersheds erode
and other conditions within
watersheds through actions
such as land clearing, farming
and industrial development.
Patterns of consumption vary
from watershed to watershed.
The quality of water in most
watersheds has deteriorated
during the past 200 years.
Contaminants may be the
result of natural processes
that have been accelerated
like soil erosion, or human
activities. A range of materials
including nutrients as well as
toxins, found anywhere in a
watershed will eventually
show up in the waterways
and water cycle.
Bo t h a g r i c u l t u r e
and industry use water
commercially. Both release
water back into the watershed
that has been altered by their
use. Fertilizers and pesticides
are the major sources of
agricultural contamination.
Industrial wastewater can
contain a wide range of
contaminates from oil
and PCBs to mercury and
radioactive wastes. Now, I
dont believe we will fnd
those ranges or contamination
here in our county watershed
system, but as a citizen of
this county, we all need to be
aware of our surroundings.
There are many things you
and your farming operation
can do to keep the county
watershed healthy and
productive.
To learn what you can do
to take care of our watershed,
call the local Natural
Resources Conservation
Service (NRCS) offce.

HOMESPUN

JIM LANGHAM
Elnora brings the gift of
a special mother moment
A few days ago, when I got
out of my car in the parking
lot in the beloved Limberlost
Loblolly where I fnd solitude
nearly every day now, I heard
a cry somewhat foreign to
marsh life.
The howling of a cat was
coming from beneath the
canopy of fowers on Trail
One. Suddenly, a tiger-
striped rustic brown cat
appeared, crossed the parking
lot and came to me like I was
a long-lost friend.
It was very obvious this
cat was fond of humans.
It immediately started to
nuzzle its face against my leg
and rub its body against my
ankles. I was startled with
many quick questions such
as, Who are you? Where
did you come from? Why
did you come to me in such
a friendly manner?
I reached down and in
a friendly motion let the
cat know I was its friend,
expecting our encounter to
be brief. But the cat had other
ideas. As I started down the
trail, the cat sprinted along
beside me, with a playful
spirit and seeking friendship.
At times, I almost tripped
between the walking stick
and the insistent cat.
As I sat on a bench about
halfway along the trail to take
a few pictures, surprisingly,
the cat jumped on my lap
and started licking my face.
At that point, two things
dawned on me. This cat had
been a lap cat somewhere and
its appreciation for human
contact could mean that it
was going to walk with me
through the entire two-mile
trail system.
With that realization, I
speculated that the cat must
have an Almighty name of
some kind. Just that quick,
the name Elnora came to
me Elnora as in the book
Girl of the Limberlost, and
as in my mothers frst name.
From that point on, the walk
took on an entire different
dimension.
Elnora quickly took to her
real name and indeed stayed
with me for the entire two-
mile walk. But even more so,
thoughts of memories of my
beloved mother started to fll
my mind. Elnora Langham,
who used to take walks with
me in the Rainbow Bottom,
and to the old Ceylon Covered
Bridge, who prayed with me
at bedtime and had homemade
cookies and a glass of milk
waiting when I stepped off the
school bus, my eyes moistened
with sentiment.
At that point, I realized the
earthly affection of Elnora,
the cat, and the heavenly
connection of Elnora,
my mother. It was one of
those heaven and earth
experiences at the Lob, my
beloved walking place.
But it wasnt over at the end
of the trail. Elnora jumped
into my car, put her head on
my knee, and started to purr
as I drove away. For two
hours I looked for and found a
good home for my new feline
friend, probably the ultimate
purpose of fnding me, as far
as Elnora was concerned.
And with her, she brought the
surprise gift of an unexpected
special moment embracing the
love of my mother.

Sheriff: No jail
levy this year

Paulding County Sheriff Jason Landers issued the following
press release on Tuesday morning, July 29:
Over the past two weeks, I have traveled all over the county
speaking with my constituents in regards to a potential operating
levy being placed on the November 2014 ballot. I have come to
the conclusion, after speaking with the commissioners, that this
upcoming election is not the best time to place a levy in front of
the voters.
I have heard from some really good people along the way
and taken their concerns to heart. The vast majority of the 180
residents that attended one of the meetings support putting a
levy on this election. There were several folks that voiced their
opposition, and I appreciated hearing their concerns.
For those residents that spoke up about putting this on the
ballot and letting the voters decide, I understand, but my heart
tells me this is the right thing to do at this time. Rest assured
my staff will continue to work with the numbers and keep the
public informed. I will continue to work hard on the best deal
for Paulding County.
I was able to beneft from these meetings by taking away
some very important concerns from the public. I will work on
those concerns and continue to evaluate the need for our jail as
time goes by. By working together as a community we will be
better informed and continue to make Paulding County a better
place to live.

Hull fnds right time to retire from Paulding Library
Jim Langham/Paulding County Progress
Vicky Hull, currently assistant director at Paulding County
Carnegie Library, will be retiring at the end of this week.
By JIM LANGHAM
Feature Writer
PAULDING After nearly 19 years of
employment with the Paulding Library,
Vicky Hull, assistant director and head
of adult services at the library, will be
retiring as of Aug. 1. Hull began working
for the library on Sept. 25, 1995.
Three years ago we lost our youngest
son (Jeff). That made me step back and
re-prioritize my life, said Hull. I have
prayed and prayed about this. I feel that
this is the right time. Im in a position,
now, when I can retire. I have seven
grandchildren I would like to spend more
time with.
I have other things under my hat, said
Hull. I feel that I am young enough that I
can do that.
Hull chuckled when she said that she
actually started working when she was 10
years old.
I started babysitting, Hull said.
During that time, I would also do dishes
and other household chores.
Employment in earnest came for Hull
when she was 16 years old. Howard
Mawer at Ducats store in Paulding had
told her that he would hire her when she
was 16. That day, she got out of study hall
early, went to Mawer and was hired on
the job.
For many years, Hull and her husband,
Bill, took care of foster children.
Eventually, they adopted two foster girls;
plus they had the responsibility of their
own three boys.
Prior to that, Hull had been working at a
preschool, but she stayed home during the
crucial times with her children. Finally,
she was invited to apply for a part-time
library clerk position. This time she
accepted the opportunity and was hired.
I worked part-time until Susan
(Pieper) came. Diana Coy was promoted
to assistant director and Susan asked me
to step up to where I am working now,
said Hull.
Hull said that she views her retirement
with mixed emotions because she loves
her job and enjoys the people that she
works with.
I love working with the public and
talking to people, said Hull. I enjoy
retrieving what people ask for. Trying to
fnd what they need is a challenge; I want
to keep looking.
Hull said that one dynamic of her work
that she fnds particularly fascinating is
that of weeding shelves, taking books off
the shelf that are no longer ft to be there
and replacing them with new attractive
books.
As books get tattered, they need to
come down. In the case of medical and
science information, you need to keep the
top information on the shelf, observed
Hull.
I like seeing books with their jackets
out, looking neat on the shelves,
continued Hull. That makes books stand
out and people are more apt to check them
out and read them.
Vicky was instrumental in planning,
organizing and administrating the
librarys speaker program which has
included numerous authors, special
guests, and two visits by William Meyer,
one of the last known Holocaust survivors
in Indiana.
I will miss Vicky tremendously,
stated Susan Pieper, library director.
Vicky has been an invaluable employee
and dear friend over the years and I wish
her all the best.
While Hull has dedicated her time to
library work, her husband, Phil, is the
plant manager at Herbert Orr Co. During
their time of fostering children, they had
a collective total of eight kids.
I have things at home I want to do.
I didnt plan to retire this early. I went
to Columbus, talked to them and came
home and cried. Then I went to the Social
Security offce and came back and cried.
But when I prayed about it, it seemed like
this is the thing that God wants me to do,
said Hull.
Stop by the main historic library
in Paulding and bid Vicky a happy
retirement during a reception from noon-3
p.m. on Friday, Aug. 1.

Matt Carr was named Paulding High School athletic director
at the last school board meeting. Carr will offcially begin his
new duties on August 1.
Carr named new athletic
director at Paulding
By JOE SHOUSE
PAULDING New
leadership comes to the
Paulding athletic department
as Matt Carr was recently
named the schools athletic
director as well as the
elementary schools dean
of students. Carr replaces
Chris Etzler who was named
middle school principal in
May.
Carr, who will begin his
new position on Aug. 1,
is familiar with the sports
program at Paulding, serving
as the girls varsity softball
coach for the past three
years. Prior to that, Carr
also coached the softball
team and girls basketball
team at the junior varsity
level. In the classroom, Matt
taught ffth grade math and
science. He gives that up in
order to serve in the schools
administration.
Carr recei ved hi s
administration degree in
Educational Leadership back
in May 2013. His credentials
allow him to be a principal in
grades kindergarten through
12 as well.
There are few positions
available in our area that has a
combination athletic director/
administration position. Most
often you have to also teach.
At age 29 I feel very fortunate
to be able to do what I want,
said Carr.
Although Carr will miss
the one-on-one connection
with his students in the class
room, he looks forward to
the new challenges that await
him as the dean as well as the
athletic director. I
have met with Chris (Etzler)
and he has been fantastic in
helping me grasp the many
different aspects of the job.
Right now it does seem a
little overwhelming but I am
ready to get started, Carr
said.
As an athletic director
the hours are long and for
Carr he feels he has some
of the qualities to make the
transition and to continue to
build the athletic program at
Paulding.
Well, Ive been a coach
and I know what its like to
be in school all day and then
go on a road trip and return
late at night. Coaches put in
long hours as well, he said.
Carr has been associated
with sports his entire life. A
2004 graduate from Tinora,
Carr played baseball and golf
and was named all league his
senior year.
I know this is something
I will enjoy and Im looking
forward to the opportunity. I
believe I can strengthened the
department by bringing my
organizational skills, energy
and communication to the
table, he said.
A graduate of Defiance
College, Matt and his wife
Jaaci live in Defiance and
have a 2-year-old daughter,
Raymi.

MEETI NG NOTES OF
APPOINTMENTS
Sheriff Jason Landers and
Jim Langham, Paulding Progress
Langham interviewed Sheriff
Landers about his recent press release
announcing meetings scheduled
at the fre stations throughout the
county. Landers noted the meetings
are scheduled for the purpose of
informing the general public of their
options for the Paulding County Jail.
The sheriff further stated his
intentions are to provide the facts as
he knows them. In return, he hopes
to learn the publics opinion as to
whether the commissioners should
pursue an operating levy for the jail
in the November general election.
Sheriff Landers said reopening
the jail will defnitely require new
money in the form of levy revenue.
The meetings will give the public a
chance to ask questions and voice
their opinion. Those who attend the
meetings should expect to hear a
report on current out-housing costs.
The sheriff also intends to present his
projected budget in the event the jail
was to reopen.
Although reopening the jail would
be more costly to taxpayers, it would
bring economic growth to Paulding
County in the form of employment
opportunities.
Sheriff Landers noted there is a
time line to reopening the jail. If a
jail operating levy passes, its revenue
would not be collected until 2015.
He estimates the hiring and training
process to take several months, with
no inmates housed for probably a year
after a levy passes.
The sheriff noted the jail bond (for
the building) will not expire until
2023. He also stated it is fscally
responsible to build a cushion
through the levy. He noted having a
better handle on what the jail needs to
operate.
The sheriff emphasized, based
on what he learns at the upcoming
meetings, he will go the direction the
general public leads. He encourages
all registered voters to attend the
meeting most convenient for them.
Meeting dates, times, and places will
be in the local news.
Recorder Carol Temple reported
the digitization of her records will
begin soon. She requested permission
to set up a couple of long tables in the
north rotunda area of the main foor
where workers could scan the records.
She estimated the project will take
two to three weeks to complete.

Mercy Health is new
name for Defance facility
DEFIANCE Catholic Health Partners
(CHP), the parent healthcare system of Mercy
Defance Clinic and Mercy Defance Hospital,
has changed its name to Mercy Health. The
systems name change is part of a ministry
evolution to one unifed team, focused on
high-quality care, increased effciencies and
lower patient costs. Mercy Health is Ohios
largest health system and fourth-largest
employer.
Our new name is a symbol of the new
way we are working together to improve
the health of the communities we serve,
said Michael D. Connelly, Mercy Healths
president and CEO. It is a key component
of our vision to empower those we serve
to achieve their optimal well-being and
health, and to maximize our quality and cost
effciency by simplifying our structure. This
approach to serving and healing demonstrates
our commitment to making healthcare easier
as our more than 1,000 physicians and 32,000
employees strive to make lives better mind,
body and spirit to help our patients be well.
The system already operates under the
Mercy name in fve of its current seven
markets, including Cincinnati, Toledo,
Lorain, Springfeld and Paducah, Ky.
Over the next several years, the Mercy
Health name will be phased into all system
facilities, including Mercy Defance Clinic
and Mercy Defance Hospital. This allows
patients to retain the trust, confdence and
security they currently have in physician,
hospital and outpatient facilities that have
served their communities for more than a
century.
In addition, the ministrys website will
change to mercy.com.
We start with our patients at the center of
every decision, said Kristen Hall Wevers,
Mercy Healths chief brand, marketing and
communications offcer. Simplifying our
operating structure improves our ability
to maximize our clinical quality and cost
effectiveness, and allows us to improve the
overall experience patients and their families
have when they seek our services in times of
need.
The new name also will help Mercy Health
more effectively communicate its mission,
results and stories. Mercy Health is a national
leader in quality, safety and cost-effectiveness.
True to its mission, Mercy Health provides
more than $1 million per day in community
beneft to those patients who need services,
but cannot otherwise afford them. Mercy
Health is a major economic force in all of the
communities it serves, providing nearly $9
billion in annual economic beneft in Ohio
alone, according to a recent independent
survey.
Winning the Battle for a Generation
By Rick Jones
Defance Area Youth for
Christ executive director
What ingredient makes a team great?
Whether its a church, a team sport, a
company or a family, what ingredient makes
a great team? I read the following historical
example from preachingtoday.com that offers
an answer to that question.
Boys in the Boat is the thrilling true story
of the 1936 University of Washington crew
team, which went from backwater obscurity
to a gold medal at the 1936 Berlin Olympics.
Few sports carry the aristocratic pedigree of
crews from Yale, Harvard, and Princeton. But
no one imagined that a crew from Washington,
of all places, could be competitive. And yet
the University of Washington built a team from
kids raised on farms, in logging towns, and near
shipyards. They blew away their Californian
rivals and bested the cream of New England to
become the American Olympic Team and won
the gold medal at the 1936 Berlin Olympics.
How did they manage to win the gold medal?
Author Daniel James Brown explains it in one
word teamwork. Brown explains how a crew
team works best
The greatest paradox of the sport has to
do with the psychological makeup of the
people who pull the oars. Great oarsmen and
oarswomen are necessarily made of conficting
stuffof oil and water, fre and earth. On the
one hand, they must possess enormous self
confdence, strong egos, and titanic willpower
Nobody who does not believe deeply in
himself or herselfin his or her ability to
endure hardship and to prevail over adversity
is likely even to attempt something as audacious
as competitive rowing at the highest levels. The
sport offers so many opportunities for suffering
and so few opportunities for glory that only the
most tenaciously self-reliant and self-motivated
are likely to succeed at it. And yet, at the same
timeand this is keyno other sport demands
and rewards the complete abandonment of the
self the way that rowing does. Great crews may
have men or women of exceptional talent or
strength; they may have outstanding coxswains
or stroke oars or bowmen; but they have no stars.
The team effortthe perfectly synchronized
fow of muscle, oars, boat, and water; the single,
whole, unifed, and beautiful symphony that a
crew in motion becomesis all that matters.
Not the individual, not the self.
The scriptures teach us the importance of
team, when we see how the many become
one 1 Corinthians 12:14;20 (NIV), 14 Now
the body is not made up of one part but of
many. 20 As it is, there are many parts, but one
body.

After 60 years, Carolyn Spangler has no plans to quit
Staff Photo/Paulding County Progress
Carolyn Spangler began working at Brune Printing in 1954 as a machine operator. Some of the
same equipment is still used today for certain jobs.
Staff Photo/Paulding County Progress
Carolyn Spangler has worked a total of 55 years working for
Brune Printing in Paulding.
By JAROD ROSEBROCK
Correspondent
PAULDING In a
time when job turnover is
incredibly high and staying
with a job for 10 years is
a rare feat, the story of
Paulding resident Carolyn
Spangler is made that much
more amazing.
Spangler was born in
1933, and when she was 21
she started working at Brune
Printing in Paulding. Now,
60 years later, Spangler is
still in that same position that
she enjoys so much and has
no plans on leaving it any
time soon, explaining that
she wants to work as long as
she is able.
Unless they decide to fre
me, she jokes knowing that
after 60 years, her job is pretty
secure. I enjoy coming to
work every day, she adds.
Brune Printing was
opened in 1922 by the late
Henry Brune, and Spangler
started working as a machine
operator at the facility in
1954. She would go to school
in the morning and to work
in the afternoon. Then, for 20
of those years, she worked
in the school cafeteria while
working at Brune Printing at
the same time.
She has taken a few years
off since she started in 1954 to
stay home with her children,
but still in total, Spangler has
spent 55 years off-and-on at
Brune Printing.
She has been through four
different owners in her time
at the printing business, and
each one has kept her with
them and benefited from
her experience. After Henry
Brune retired, the company
went to Ralph Reinhart
followed by Mike Reinhart,
both of whom have since
passed away. The current
owner is Mark Brant.
In the early years of Brune
Printing under Henry Brune,
the company specialized in
rectangular scale tickets,
printing nearly 2.5 million
a month. At that time, there
were 16 employees, and
Spangler points out that all
but three or four of those
colleagues have passed away.
Throughout the years,
Brune Printing has upgraded
and stayed current with
state-of-art technology, and
therefore Spangler has had
to learn new machines, such
as booklet binding machines
and perforating machines.
However, she mainly still uses
two machines that she started
with when she was 21 years
old.
Those two machines, which
Spangler calls pasters, also
known as bracket tipping
machines, paste two scale
tickets together. Scale tickets
are approximately 2x6-inch
rectangular tickets on which
information is recorded. The
machines Spangler runs put
two or more of these tickets
together in a booklet by
pasting them on the edge.
The machines can also fold
a protective flap over the
tickets.
The scale tickets start out
with fve on a full piece of
paper. Spanglers job while
running these machines
consists of taking two, three
or four (depending on how
many will go in the booklets
she is making) pages of scale
tickets, stacking them with the
numbers in correct order, and
inserting them in the machine
over and over again, loading
them all by hand.
With the pages of tickets
all pasted together, she takes
them to a cutting machine
that cuts the pages into fve
booklets of scale tickets. She
inputs the sizes, puts each set
of tickets in the machines, and
the cutters slices them apart.
This job might sound
like it would get repetitive,
but Spangler loves it. In
fact, when asked what her
favorite part of the job is, she
couldnt decide because she
likes everything she does.
She stands at the machine all
day, and again many people
might get tired of standing all
day, but Spangler sees it as a
beneft of the job saying she
enjoys her work because it is
something I can stand and
do.
She calls Brune Printing
her second home, with her
frst home being the house
she shares with her husband
James of 43 years. The home
in which she raised her twin
son and daughter, Dr. Wendell
Spangler and Elizabeth
Reinhard.
While Spangler still mainly
uses the machines she started
on, Brune Printing has
upgraded their printing facility
in stay current. According
to owner Mark Brant, the
company started with simple
letter press, basically the same
type of printing invented by
Gutenberg. That printing is
actually still done today for
specialty jobs.
It moved forward to offset
printing and toner based
printing, each of which
have their own niche. Brant
explains that offset printing
duplicates more quickly, is
more economical, but only
prints in a couple colors.
Toner based printing is full-
color and each copy can be
printed differently, but it takes
longer to print and copy.
A lot more than just the
printing process has changed
since Henry Brune started his
business. While 16 employees
worked at the company at that
time, now there are about
four. That is because it used
to take 12 people to produce a
printing job, and now, with all
of the new technology, it only
takes two.
Brune Printing also
expanded its products. It is
one of the only companies in
the area that can completely
produce a full and fnished
booklet from start to fnish.
One machine can gather,
print, fold, bind and trim
the book to the correct size.
From a few sheets of paper
to booklets to apparel, pens,
cups, etc., Brune Printing can
print just about anything.

In The
Garden
Kylee Baumle/Paulding County Progress
In midsummer, this beautiful plant grows in a roadside ditch in rural Paulding County. Its good
looks belies the nuisance it is for wetlands.
Being a responsible gardener
Once upon a time, I grew
a pretty violet-pink plant in
my garden. It was given to
me by a fellow gardener and
I was happy to have it when I
was building the repertoire of
plants in my new garden.
When gardeners and
gardens are young, its
helpful when others share
the abundance from their
own plots. Buying all new
plants can be expensive.
Usually the passalong plants
are those that reproduce
well, and while most of them
are beautiful and useful,
sometimes its not a great
idea to plant others.
That pretty pink plant that
once grew in my garden
is a great example. It was
purple loosestrife (Lythrum
salicaria). You may have it
in your own garden, not even
aware that it really shouldnt
be there.
But why, you ask? The
bees love it, the birds love
the seedheads, its easy to
grow, and its gorgeous. Who
wouldnt want a plant like
that?
Ill cut straight to the chase.
Its on the Noxious Weeds
List for Ohio and lots of
other states and its causing
environmental problems in
wetlands. Invasiveplants.net
says:
Invasion of L. salicaria
into a wetland can result
in the suppression of the
resident plant community
and the eventual alteration of
the wetlands structure and
function. Large monotypic
stands of L. salicaria
jeopardize various threatened
and endangered native
wetland plants and wildlife
by eliminating natural foods
and cover. Dense plant
establishments in irrigation
systems have impeded the
fow of water.
But it hasnt spread much
in your own garden, you say.
It didnt spread in mine either.
But the problem lies in the
fact that purple loosestrife,
like many other plants, isnt
just propagated in its own
immediate area.
One purple loosestrife plant
can produce over two million
seeds a year. Birds that eat
its seeds spread them far and
wide and the only way to
control that is to make sure the
fowers get cut from the plant
before they go to seed. That
requires diligence that most
of us cant be certain to have
100 per cent of the time.
In some states, supposedly
sterile varieties of Lythrum
are allowed to be sold (Ohio
included, with a permit),
but theres a problem with
that, too. A University of
Minnesota study of these
sterile varieties showed that
they may not be sterile after
all, and that they contribute
to the environmental problem
as well. That has led many
states to prohibit the sale of all
varieties of Lythrum. Hybrids
often revert to the species.
The problem got its start in
the early 1800s when the plant
was imported from Europe
for use as an herbal remedy
for diarrhea, dysentery and a
number of other conditions.
However, the native insects
and birds that kept it in check
in Europe were not imported
along with it.
As gardeners and stewards
of our environment, I believe
we have a duty to behave
in a responsible manner. I
didnt really want to dig up
and dispose of my purple
loosestrife years ago, but I
also didnt want to contribute
in any way to a known
problem. There are so many
more beautiful plants to
choose from, it doesnt hurt
me one bit not to have it in my
garden anymore.
Besides, if I want to enjoy
its blooms, all I have to do is
drive north towards Paulding
on County Road 95 right now
and see it in the ditch for a
half-mile stretch. Its been
growing there for several
years and I noticed it has now
jumped the road and is in the
creek on the other side. Im
rather surprised that someone
with the authority to do so
hasnt taken steps to eradicate
it there.
In spite of what Ive said
here, you wont find me
standing in judgment of what
you choose to grow in your
gardens. Theyre your gardens
after all. Many choices are
made for many different
reasons, but sometimes we
should consider the bigger
picture when making them.

Seven 2014 graduates traveled to 4-H Camp Palmer as last year counselors for this years 4-H
Camp. Baking up a Good Time were,: front from left Arlen Stoller, Matthew Klopfenstein,

4-H Camp a great success
FAYETTE The 2014 Paulding County
4-H Camp, Baking up a Good Time at 4-H
Camp Palmer has successfully come to a
close. 100 campers and 14 Cloverbuds, led
by 30 counselors, got to experience many
great events that will be in their memories for
a long time.
From high-ropes to creek seining, from
line dancing to outdoor cooking, from the
archery range to the flying squirrel, the
campers lived the magic of 4-H Camp Palmer.
The Cloverbuds day was flled with great
excitement as well. They got to make crafts,
learn dances, and participate in the camp-wide
water carnival.
Meeting new people and gaining new
friends was the best thing that occurred all
week long. By the end of camp, it became
quite clear how amazing these friendships
were. These bonds of friendship, forged
through team building, skits, and group-
living, have been made strong. Many campers
were sad to leave camp, and their counselors
were not ready to let them go. The only good
part of leaving camp is knowing that everyone
can come back next year!
The dates of 2015 4-H Camp are set for July
9-13. There is less than a year until everybody
can meet again dream of camp and keep in
touch with all of the great friends until then.
