thought to be a black Ford Focus.

Two employees were inside
the store at the time of the robbery; no customers were present.
The suspect, described as a
white male approximately 54,
demanded all the money, and
never brandished a weapon. As
the clerks hesitated to respond to
the demand, the suspect turned
and fled.
Employees, who were unhurt, told deputies the suspect
was wearing a dark blue hooded
sweatshirt, blue jeans and brown
work boots. He wore a black ball
hat with a light colored bill and a
black bandana over his face.
He fled west bound on Road
138.

Paulding hospital
responds to suit
PAULDING A press release was issued by the Paulding County

Hospital Monday in response to the recent lawsuit filed by former
employee Dr. James Gray.
It says the lawsuit filed against Paulding County Hospital (PCH)
by Dr. Gray does not involve issues with patient care. Rather, the
allegations relate to the ending of Dr. Grays employment with PCH.
The release states that in 2010, PCH and Dr. Gray agreed that
PCH would purchase his medical practice for nearly $300,000 and
that the doctor would become an employee of PCH for years 20112015.
At all times, a condition of PCHs purchase of Dr. Grays practice and its employment of Dr. Gray was his agreement to be bound
by a specific non-compete clause after his employment ended. Dr.
Gray agreed and accepted PCHs payment for his practice, said the
document.
It went on to say Dr. Grays employment with PCH ended when
his five-year employment agreement with PCH expired on December 31, 2015. Additionally it states that before the agreement
expired, PCH offered Dr. Gray several new contract terms and he
rejected them.
The hospital denies the claims asserted by Dr. Gray in the lawsuit
and denies any liability or wrongdoing against him.
PCH is committed to providing high quality care and excellent
patient service. Since January, PCH has had three providers at the
Antwerp office. Dr. Nick Pfleghaar DO, who is board certified in
family practice, and Kelley Peters, family nurse practitioner, who
joined Janet Zeedyk, physician assistant.
In conclusion, the release says, PCH looks forward to continuing
to provide excellent care to the patients at the Antwerp office and
throughout the communities it serves. Paulding County Hospital is
fully accredited by the Joint Commission, which sets the gold standard for healthcare in America.

Public safety the concern
Fairground Dr. closed as

tower safety is studied
By DENISE GEBERS
Progress staff writer
PAULDING Local officials are taking safety precautions regarding a recent
engineering study on the
county-owned communications tower located at the west
end of the county fairgrounds
parking lot located in the Village of Paulding.
Following an hour-long
meeting with representatives
from Paulding Putnam Electric Cooperative (PPEC) last
Thursday morning, April 28,
County Commissioner Tony
Zartman, along with Sheriff
Jason Landers, Prosecutor
Joe Burkard and EMA director Ed Bohn, elected to close
a portion of Fairground Drive
in cooperation with Paulding
Village.
At press time it was unknown how long the closure
will last.
PPEC, who has rented space
on the tower for 2-3 years, had
a load study conducted on the
tower with hopes to remove
some older antennas and install another microwave dish.
The structural engineering
firm that completed the study
returned a finding certified
April 4 that the tower does not
comply with current codes.
The results of the study
were a huge surprise to our
communications contractor
as well as to PPEC staff,
said George Carter, general
manager/CEO. The results
showed that under certain,
specific ice and wind conditions the tower did not meet
new standards, even without
any antennas or equipment.
Once we had the report
and the results, I felt it was
our obligation to share those
results with the county officials, he continued. (They)
should be commended for
their quick response to protect
the public.
After having a meeting
with county and village officials, as well as our risk management folks, it was decided
to close Fairground Drive and
mark out a 400-foot radius
with flags around the tower
until we can obtain a second
opinion, said Sheriff Jason
K. Landers.
County Engineer Travis
McGarvey measured out the
radius Thursday afternoon using GPS technology. The road
was closed the same day.
Commissioner
Zartman
Denise Gebers/Paulding County Progress
Fairground Drive in Paulding is closed indefinitely from McDonald Pike east bound to Sugar Street. The closure is the result
of finding the county-owned communications tower (narrow from
base at left) does not meet State standards which were updated
in 2008 when the structure was 3 years old. The current structure
is sound according to 2005 codes.
said his board does not feel
there is eminent danger of a
fall, but they are being careful.
He indicated they dont want
public safety in jeopardy, nor
the county to be liable in the
case of a high wind event that
could cause collapse.
In this situation, the safety of the public outweighs the
inconvenience to the folks
that travel in this area. No one
wants to believe this 400-foot
tower is going to fall over, but
since officials have been put
on notice of the engineers
findings, we have to take
a cautious approach, said
Landers.
Fairground Drive lies in
both the county and Paulding
village, making for a unique
situation.
Paulding Village Administrator Harry Wiebe said he
was made aware of the circumstance through the police chief. When the county
offered to close the street, the
village agreed.
Safety concerns for the
public is paramount, said
Wiebe. The Village agreed
with the closure and signage.
We are awaiting further information from the sheriffs
office concerning the status

of the tower. We will maintain
closure until further notice.
Contact has been made with
Sabre Industries, who made
the finding, for clarification
on their stance and with PNR
Communications, who will
offer a second opinion.
It is unknown whether
the current structure, which
is sound, will need to be replaced.
We dont know if we are
grandfathered in with old
standards or if new standards
must be met, said Zartman.
We are hoping to get a
revised study due to PPEC
no longer using the tower,
he continued. They will be
building their own tower and
a 6-foot diameter dish midway up the tower will come
down.
According to Carter, PPEC
is currently building smaller
communications towers at our
substations, throughout our
service territory. At the present time we are considering
construction of a new tower
at our main office and would

Black Swamp Nature Center hosts regional Envirothon

By JUDY WELLS
Feature Writer
PAULDING Nearly 350
high-school students from 20
counties were bussed to the
Paulding County Fairgrounds
on Wednesday, April 27 for
the Ohio Area 1 Envirothon,
a competitive, outdoor academic team event for high
school students.
Taking first place this year
was Sylvania Southview High
School Team 2, of Lucas
County, with a total score of
425. Second place went to
Wynford Blue from Crawford

County, with a score of 399.
Fort Jennings Team 1 and
Team 2, Putnam County, took
third and fourth places, respectively, with scores of 388 and
376.
In Ohio, the event is sponsored by the Ohio Federation
of Soil and Water Conservation Districts in cooperation
with the Ohio Department of
Natural Resources. Paulding
County Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD)
was the host for this years
event, held at the fairgrounds

and the Black Swamp Nature
Center.
The Envirothon is designed
to stimulate, reinforce and
enhance interest in the environment and natural resources
and tests students knowledge
of soils and land use, forestry,
wildlife, aquatic ecology, and
current environmental issues
using an ecostation format.
This years current issue was
Invasive Species: A Challenge to the Environment,
Economy and Society.
Visit us online at
www.progressnewspaper.org
Staci Miller, education specialist for Paulding SWCD,

welcomed the eager students
and gave them an overview
of the days events. She then
reminded them of items they
were not allowed to have in
their possession during the
competition.
If you have cell phones,
notebooks, iPads or any other
electronic devices, give them
to your advisor now, she
said. As the students pushed
back chairs and turned in
their electronics, she went
on, Each team will have the
same amount of time for each
station. When you hear the air
horn sound, it will be time to
turn in your results and move
to the next station. Good luck
to all of you!
Envirothon teams consist
of five students from the same
high school, with an adult su-
pervisor who is not permitted

to assist the team during competition. Each team is required
to answer a series of test questions on the five topics.
The four teams with the
highest total scores are declared the winners of the local
competition and will advance
to the state competition, to be
held June 13-14 at Bowling
Green State University.
The winning team from
the Ohio Envirothon then advances to the North American competition, to be held at
Trent University in Peterborough, Ontario in July. More
than 1,700 students participate
in Ohio, and 52 teams from
across the U.S. and Canada.
Natural resource and environmental specialists from
many agencies, organizations,
colleges, universities, park
districts and businesses write
the Envirothon tests and staff

the various testing stations.
Curtis Young, Extension Educator, Agriculture and Natural Resources for Van Wert
County, was a new test-writer
this year for the event.
It was a great experience,
he said. When I was asked to
take part in writing the test for
the invasive species, I didnt
hesitate. Its a very important
issue, especially for this age
group, and we need to encourage them to start thinking
about solutions now. Invasive
species are all around us, even
some that we think of as just
pretty flowers. Some of those
flowers, bushes and shrubs are
harmful to our ecosystem and
need to be eliminated.
When the students were finished with their testing, they
were treated to a lunch of hamburgers, chips, cookies and
bottled water. As they boarded
their buses for the return trip to
their respective schools, many
of them commented that they
were tired and cold but were
glad theyd come to Paulding County for this important
event.
The Ohio Area 1 Envirothon is financed by grants, donations from businesses and
agencies, and through contributions.

Continued from Page 1A
then relocate our equipment
off the EMA tower.
The tower not only holds
some PPEC equipment, but a
host of county communications components as well. Lt.
Brion Hanenkratt, E911 coordinator at the Paulding County Sheriffs Office, indicated
the tower also supports the departments primary and confidential frequencies, those of
the local fire and EMS units,
the school districts radio systems and communications for
Paulding Village water plant
and utilities personnel.
None of these services are
in jeopardy according to several official sources.
The tower was built in 2005
using money from Homeland Security. At that time,
all specs were in compliance
with the rules. Apparently, the
regulations changed in 2008
when Ohio adopted the current standard set in Federal
guidelines.
No surrounding businesses,
offices or homes were closed
due to the tower situation.
This weekends Horsepower Holiday at the fairgrounds
should not be effected either,
according to officials. However, the west gate entrance
to the fairgrounds is closed,
as the radius falls at the driveway. Some of the north parking lot will also be unavailable for use.

Enjoy a weekend of
free fishing May 7-8
COLUMBUS Ohio is known for its
world-class fishing, and on May 7 and 8, state
residents are invited to take part in the annual
free fishing weekend, according to the Ohio
Department of Natural Resources (ODNR).
Ohios Free Fishing Days are open to all
Ohio residents and extend to all of Ohios public waters, including Lake Erie and the Ohio
River. This is the only weekend all year that
does not require anyone 16 years old or older
to obtain a fishing license.
The ODNR Division of Wildlifes six fish
hatcheries stocked more than 55 million sport
fish in public waters in 2015, including walleye, saugeye, steelhead, rainbow trout, brown
trout, muskellunge, channel catfish, blue catfish and hybrid striped bass, which will provide opportunities for more than 1.3 million
Ohio anglers.
Ohio State Parks is also offering a camping
discount during Ohios Free Fishing Days.
Campers can receive a 20 percent off discount
May 6-7 by using the promotion code 16ANGLER.
The Free Fishing Days weekend offers
Ohioans of all ages the chance to experience
the fun of catching a fish. Here are some helpful tips for taking a youngster out fishing.
Keep the trip simple by considering a
childs age and skill level.
Choose a pond, lake or stream where children will be able to easily catch a few fish.
A spin-cast reel is usually the easiest for
kids to use.
Bring a camera and snacks.
Be patient plan on spending time untangling lines, baiting hooks, landing fish and
taking pictures.
Most of all, keep the trip fun.
Anglers 16 years and older are required to
have a valid fishing license to take fish, frogs
or turtles from Ohio waters when not fishing on Ohios free fishing weekend. An Ohio
resident fishing license is only $19 a year for
residents. Fishing licenses are available at participating agents and wildohio.gov.
The sales of fishing licenses, along with the
Sport Fish Restoration (SFR) program, continue to fund ODNR Division of Wildlifes
fish management operations. No state tax dollars are used for these activities. These are user-pay, user-benefit programs.

Longer bus ride not so good for Eicher

children; Lovina shares sad horse news
I am a day late getting this column out. Every
week passes by faster than the one before. Time
does not stand stillthats for sure.
Joseph, Lovina, and Kevin left for school a
few minutes ago. The bus is coming earlier now
because they are short one bus driver and need to
put more students on one bus. We do not like this
at all! 7:00 a.m. was early enough. We live three
miles from the school and the children are on the
bus over an hour. It wouldnt be as bad if they
wouldnt have chores to do before they leave.
Joseph always milks our cow, Bessie, before he
showers in the morning. In the afternoon they
get home almost a half hour later than they used
to. I really hope it wont be like this next term.
It seems 15 to 20 minutes earlier in the morning
can make a world of difference.
Yesterday I took our wheels for our pony
cruiser to the repair shop which is about a half
hour from our house by car.
Since we were close to the bulk
food store we did some grocery
shopping. I like getting groceries
in big quantities so they will last
for a while. Daughter Elizabeth
went along and so did daughter
Loretta. Daughter Verena stayed
home with Lovina and kept Elizabeths Yorkie dogs, Crystal and
Izzy, here as well.
Lovina had a headache. I really do need to make an eye doctor appointment
for her. At her last exam the doctor thought she
might need glasses soon. She loves to read so
her eyes get strained a lot. I had to start wearing
glasses in the eighth grade. I still remember what
a big difference they made. I always had a hard
time seeing the chalkboard. I am near-sighted so
without my glasses its hard to see things clearly
far away.
Last night son Benjamin and daughter Verena attended a work bee for the youth at one of
the church families. They accomplished a lot in
a short time. It is always a good feeling to help
someone out. They were all served supper there.
Today daughters Verena, Loretta, and I will assist sister Emma preparing for church services at
her house. Both her daughters work away from
home so she is home alone with much to do. The
girls are washing dishes while I write this, then
we can leave. Son Benjamin put the harness on
our horse, Mighty, to make things easier for us
when we leave. We will have to hitch Mighty to
the buggy yet.
Ginger and Itty Bits foals have grown a lot
and are almost a year old. Itty Bits foal we
named Black Beauty and she will be a year old

on May 1. Gingers foal is Midnight and she will
be one year old June 1.
We dont have any idea what happened to Itty
Bits back leg but we noticed she couldnt walk
on it anymore. We had the vet out several times
and he thought it was a bad break. With her being 18 years old already, he thought it would be
best to have her put down. This was very hard
for all of us. She was a good horse in the 14 years
we owned her. We brought her with us from Indiana and she delivered Ginger six days after our
move. Our 22-year-old horse Diamond gave up
on us last year and we miss him too. Diamond
and Itty Bit were the two horses we brought from
Indiana. They were always side by side in the
field and we never thought they would both be
gone, so close to each other. Itty Bits foal looks
like she will turn out to be a good driving horse
for us when shes older.
We are enjoying fresh asparagus from our garden. Try this
recipe!
Gods blessings to all!
Creamed Ham
and Asparagus
1 pound fresh or frozen asparagus
1 1/2 cups milk, divided
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried or fresh parsley
1 to 1 1/2 pounds fully cooked ham, cubed
3 hardboiled eggs, chopped
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Toast or biscuits
Cut asparagus into 1-inch pieces. In a saucepan cook asparagus in a small amount of water
until tender. Drain and set aside.
In a medium saucepan mix cornstarch and 1
cup milk. Add butter, salt, pepper, and remaining
milk. Cook and stir over medium heat until thick
and bubbly. Add parsley, ham, eggs, cheese, and
asparagus. Cook and stir over low heat until ham
is warmed and cheese is melted. Serve over toast
or biscuits.

Paulding Council debate testing over the Harmful Algae Bloom

By CARRIE ONDER
Correspondent
Council members discussed the need for
water testing for Harmful Algae Bloom (HAB)
that will cost the village $6,360 per year at the
Paulding Village council meeting on May 2.
They met in regular session and debated over
the cost of sending samples to a certified lab
in Celina. Testing for HAB is now mandated
by OEPA. Councilwoman Barbara Rife stated,
You still have to test for it no matter what,
whether you are treating for it or not. Right
now we are treating for it but it is a required
law now.
Rife reported to the council the many problems and issues pertaining to GE pumps, waste
water aerators, high service pumps and the 18ft
Jon Boat at the Utility Committee Meeting that
was held on April 27 at the water plant. The
issues discussed were:
High Service Pumps are currently having

problems with leaks and excessive wearing
on parts. Councilwomen Rife stated, Those
pumps service from the clear well to the water
tower, so if they go down we got no water.
She also stated that the water superintendent is
currently waiting for parts and is working with
the manufacturer to repair both pumps.
Vibration problems have caused the GE
pump bearings to have problems at this time
they are unsure of what is causing the vibration
problems. The water Superintendent is talking
with the manufacturer for possible solutions.
Waste Water Aerators are not working effectively and the EPA is now involved. There are
5 total aerators that aerate the lagoon.
A new 18ft Jon Boat has been purchased
and is currently being retrofitted to hold the
chemical dispersing machines and should be
operational late this spring. Rife reported that
this new boat was purchased due to the amount

of repairs and holes that the old Jon Boat that
was purchased in the 90s had.
A citizen expressed concern over the drainage problems around Emerald Acres. Mayor
Reinhart stated that the contractor has been
contacted in regards to the new pipe.
Councilmen Tim Boss reported that the recreational committee has finished interviews for
summer help for the pool and needs approval
to hire qualified candidates. The council unanimously approved this request.
Rife reported that the water superintendent
has requested summer help to complete jobs
around the water plant, such as cleaning and
painting, and would like to complete this work
through community service workers so there
is no cost to the village.
Water, sewer and refuse assessment approved for residence owned by Gregory R.
Lammers.
Mayor Greg Reinhart reported the following:
The total fines and cost are $1,025 for the
month of April. This total consists of $493
fines, $309 paid to State of Ohio Treasury,
$121 court cost, $80 computer, $12 paid to
county court (Alcohol) and $10 misc items
such as accident reports, solicitors and golf
cart licenses.
Paulding police reported that for the month
of April: they received $35 for parking fines,
received 279 service requests, handled six traffic accidents, wrote three traffic citations, completed 824 security checks, made one referral
to the utilities department for street lights/
signs and sent out eight junk notices.

Never to old to cut the mustard

I have always believed that
if you wake up in the morning with some type of a purpose, you feel so much better.
I know that I feel motivated
if I have something to do that
day or something I need to accomplish.
For those people who
work, your job is probably
one of your main purposes to
rise and shine. Personally, I
am thankful for each morning
I wake up and have another
day to either try something
new or do something old that
I was never good at.
There is a saying we are all
familiar with, You are never
too old to learn.
In 2009, a video clip of a
woman singing became a sensation over the world. In just
three weeks, her video was
viewed more than 180 million
times.It wasnt a starlet singing her latest top 10 hit, however. No one expected much
of 48-year-old Susan Boyle
when she stepped onto the
stage of the reality television
program Britains Got Talent, and thats partly why her
performance of I Dreamed a
Dream from the Broadway
musical Les Miserables
was so compelling.
Laura Ingalls Wilders
best-selling series of books
began with Little House in the
Big Woods, which chronicled
her pioneer childhood in the
late 1800s. The books were so
well-loved that NBC adapted
one into a pilot and then a TV
a penny
for your Thoughts
By Nancy Whitaker
series that aired from 1974 to

1982, Little House On the
Prairie. However, Wilder
didnt publish her first book
until she was 64. She started out as a teacher at the age
of 15, and married a farmer,
Almanzo Wilder, at 18. She
wrote several articles on
farming and rural life in the
early 1900s, eventually becoming poultry editor for the
St. Louis Star. Later in life,
she started documenting her
own story, at her daughters
encouragement. She finally
published Little House in the
Big Woods in 1932 and continued the series about herself
and her family, ending with
These Happy Golden Years in
1943, at age 76.
Did you know that Benjamin Franklin was 70 years
old when he signed the Declaration of Independence? Or
that artist Grandma Moses
never picked up a paintbrush

until age 76?
One inspiring video I happened to see on YouTube
was a 98-year-old lady playing piano at the Grand Old
Opry. Her name was Lois
Cunningham and she is Josh
Turners wifes grandmother.
She played the great beautiful hymn How Great Thou
Art with no accompaniment
and it brought me to tears as
I watched her old but nimble
fingers tickle those ivories.
By the way, she got a standing O. Bravo!
And dont think you are
ever too old for love! A British couple, George, 102, and
Doreen, age 91, exchanged
wedding vows just last year.
George said, I did not get
down on one knee, because
I was scared I could not get
back up.Doreen said that
she felt giddy.
I am not saying everyone should run out and get
hitched, but I am saying that
life is short and we should all
cut the mustard while we
can.
Is there anything you want
to try or do, old or new? Do
you know what it means to
cut the mustard? Tell me
your hidden thoughts of what
you would like to do but feel
you are too old. Shhhh. I
wont tell anyone, but I will
give you a Penny for Your
Thoughts.

Challenging negative views of

aging - Make it your business!
By Bonnie K. Burman, Sc.D.
Director, Ohio Dept. of Aging
On April 6, I had the privilege of visiting
Marietta, Ohio, to attend Governor John Kasichs State of the State address. Throughout
the day, I traveled around Ohios oldest city,
marveling at the history and inherent beauty
of the city, her setting and her people. And as
I sat in the iconic Peoples Bank Theatre that
evening, I couldnt help but wonder, what
if these walls could talk? The history and
experiences of that place certainly have immense value.
Then, it hit me: Why do we revere aging
places and things and continue to see in them
beauty and purpose, but we dont feel the
same way about our own aging?
Today, more than 2.5 million Ohioans are
age 60 or older, and our 60-plus population is
growing more than 20 times faster than our
overall population. Ohio has a tremendous
opportunity for the future when we embrace
our growing and changing population, but we
first must debunk ageist views and replace
them with perspectives that are based on a
full understanding of the benefits and challenges of the aging process.
While I was in Marietta, I visited with
three distinct audiences in the community to
discuss their views on aging and help them
see that aging is everybodys business. My
first stop was Harmar Elementary School,
where I spent time with the schools second
grade classes. From there, I visited the local
Kroger store to discuss with management
and staff how various age-related changes
and diseases can affect the shopping experience for their older customers. Finally, I met
with family caregivers at the ONeill Senior
Center to thank them for the work they do
and give them new perspectives that can help
them with their daily caring.
I brought with me toolkits to help each of
these audiences see the world through their
elders eyes. The kits included glasses that
simulate age-related eye changes and diseases, along with gloves that simulate arthritis
and other items. Using these tools, I had each
audience attempt activities that, for most
of us, are easy and routine. As troubled as
they were by their diminished ability, they
also were surprised by how easy it was to
compensate for these losses and continue to
be productive, especially when they stopped
worrying about what they had lost and focused on what they still have.
Despite seeing how these activities
changed attitudes and empowered folks of all
ages, I know we still have a lot of work to do.
While I was in town, I stopped twice to
grab a bite to eat. As is my usual routine, I
asked the staff if they offer a senior discount.
I do this not for the savings, but rather as
a compass to gauge others attitudes about
aging. At both locations, the response was
essentially: Oh, you dont look old enough
to qualify for a senior discount. I understand
that this was most likely an attempt at flattery,
but it suggests an underlying attitude that getting older isnt something to be proud of.
In fact, I am proud to be getting older.
Arent you? I have more knowledge and
wisdom than ever, which in turn, I believe,
makes my experiences and contributions

today richer and more meaningful. When I
meet someone who appears to be holding on
to negative stereotypes, I use it as a teachable moment, where I share with them why
aging should be celebrated, not feared.
At the end of my visit with the second
graders, I had them recite the Aging. Its
Everybodys Business. Pledge:
I pledge to remember that growing older
is something that we all do, and thats a good
thing;
I pledge to tell my friends that elders are
good people who do good things every day;
I pledge to make choices that help me be
healthy as I grow up;
I pledge to say boo! when I hear someone say something bad about elders;
I pledge to make aging my business and
ask my family and friends to make aging
their business, too!
The students particularly embraced that
fourth line. Im confident that there is now a
legion of 7- and 8-year-olds running around
town yelling boo every time anyone says
something negative about aging. How powerful will that be?
To fully face the challenges and reap the
benefits of our aging population, Ohios communities, governments, businesses and individuals must to work together to design and
implement solutions that address the issues,
opportunities and impact of an aging population. Each and every one of us must embrace
aging and encourage our neighbors and loved
ones to be inspired by their age, not defined
by it.
Now, its time for the rest of us to follow
the childrens lead. I present to you the Aging. Its Everybodys Business. Pledge, the
grown-up version:
I pledge to challenge ageist views and
negative stereotypes about aging wherever I
see them;
I pledge to make lifestyle changes that
will decrease the likelihood of chronic disease and injury as I age;
I pledge to help others understand that
aging has both challenges and benefits at every stage of life;
I pledge to remember that all Ohioans
deserve opportunities to grow, thrive and contribute throughout their lifespans; and
I pledge to make aging my business and
challenge my community leaders, business
owners, co-workers, family and friends to
make aging their business, too!
I ask you to take this pledge to heart and
share it with those you see every day. Im
willing to bet that each of you reading this
has heard or read something negative about
growing older today. Its important to have
fun when discussing aging, but its equally
vital to challenge stereotypes and remove the
negativity from conversations about aging so
that we can move forward in providing the
best life possible for all Ohioans throughout
the lifespan.
Aging is my business. How will you make
it yours?

Tubman finally given her

overdue recognition
Spun
by Jim Langham
The decision to recognize

Harriet Tubman on the new
20-dollar bill has brought delight to my heart in a stressful time in our nation. Since
I learned of Harriet over 25
years ago, she has stood as a
classic American hero to me,
one willing to expose her life
for the real cause of freedom
through the Underground
Railroad. Harriet Tubman
was a courageous, but compassionate, hand of hope for
many slaves who escaped to
freedom by way of the Underground Railroad. It is estimated that this angel of mercy
alone assisted at least 300 people to freedom and a new start
in life.
Like many slaves, Harriets master often beat her and
forced her to work in the fields
War, Harriets heart expanded

to include efforts as a nurse
and a spy for the Union Army.
After the war, she initiated an
effort to reach further by establishing a home for poor and
elderly women.
Today, Harriets life still
stands as a challenge to those
who have been enslaved by
abuse, hurt, care-taking responsibilities, or other situations, enslaving to the human
spirit. Freedom from such
entrapments offer an opportunity to reach out and touch
others, to assist them along the
paths of freedom that we have
traveled. By getting involved
with support groups, domestic
violence agencies, or other efforts, we can recycle our own
hurt into opportunities to rescue others from such pain and
devastation.
Harriet Tubman died in
1913, but today her efforts
live on through the Harriet
Tubman Center in Minneapolis. The mission of the center is to, advocate for social
change that helps families and
communities live free of violence, and to provide women and children safe passage
from abuse.
There are many out there
waiting for freed hands
to take hold of their bruised
hands and lead them to a shelter of safety and freedom.
STUDENT ART SHOW The Cooper Community Library in Oakwood, a branch of the Paulding
County Carnegie Library system, will be sponsoring a student art show from May 4-11. Art from

under the most inclement conditions. Then, at age 24, she

escaped the Maryland plantation where she had been a
slave all of her life. That day,
she purposed that she was going to fight for the cause of liberty as long as she lived.
Harriets escape was basically without the assistance
of the Underground Railroad.
She often traveled by foot,
dodging countless perils, until
she safely reached Pennsylvania. As she attempted to digest
the concept of freedom, Harriet remarked, I looked at my
hands to see if I was the same
person, now that I was free...I
felt like I was heaven.
It was after she took a job at
a kitchen in Philadelphia that
Harriet first heard of the Underground Railroad. She immediately determined that her
experience of freedom was a
gift intended to be passed on
to others. Nineteen Railroad
trips later, hundreds of slaves
were enjoying freedom because Harriet had purposed to
share her gift. So successful
were her efforts that records indicate she never lost one slave
during her rescue attempts.
Harriet was the light of the
hearts of over 300 slaves she
safely led in the darkness of
night between southern plantations and northern homes of
refuge.

Local genealogists meet

PAULDING The Paulding County Chapter of the
Ohio Genealogical Society
(PCCOGS) met on April 13
at the Paulding County Carnegie Library.
President Terri Gorney presided over the meeting. Rhonda Burke-Feasby and Marilyn
Smith have volunteered their
time, working hard to digitize
the records and books from
Ray Kecks records.
Volunteer Glenna Doster is
nearing her task of researching and logging the burials
in the county without a grave
marker. She has used many
resources in locating these
lost souls.
Gorney stated the local
chapter has 442 First Families and 92 Century Families
recognized and documented.
Members present agreed
to change the place of the
members annual picnic. It
will be at 6 p.m. on June 8 in
LaFountain Park. It is located
on Lincoln Avenue just off

Emerald Road across from
the Live Oak Cemetery in
Paulding. Members are asked
to note the new location when
marking their calendars.
Treasurer Sue LaFountain
noted memorial donations are
still being received from Ray
Kecks family wishes. His
daughter, RaeAnn, is working on preserving her fathers
home office, along with his
prized collection of books
and records.
Burke-Feasby offered to
create and maintain a private
website domain for the local
chapter of the Ohio Genealogy Society. She will be reimbursed the cost to do so. This
was approved by first and
second motions made by Kay
Stoller and Karen Sanders,
respectively.
The First and Century family applications and other records would be available for
members use or to print. Re-
quirements to do so include
that a user must be a current
member of the PCCOGS society and have an assigned
log-in number to use this new
website.
Currently Burke-Feasbys
personal Paulding County
Ohio History website has 246
members.
Most chapter meetings are
held at the Paulding County
Carnegie Librarys ground
floor meeting room at 6:30
p.m. on the second Wednesday of each month. Everyone
is welcome!

Help Your Mother

Prepare for Retirement
By Phil
Recker Edward
Jones Advisor
Mothers
Day is almost
here, so start
shopping
for
the flowers or
candy for Mom.
But this year,
why not also go
beyond the traditional? Specifically, if your
mother is still
working but getting close to retirement, consider providing
her with a gift that can help make her days as
a retiree more pleasant.
Here are a few suggestions:
Contribute to her IRA. As long as your
mother is employed, she can contribute to an
IRA, and she may already have one. If so,
help her fund it for 2016. You cant contribute directly to her IRA, but you can certainly write her a check for that purpose, and by
doing so, you can make it easier for Mom to
max out on her account this year. Assuming
your mother is over 50, she can contribute up
to $6,500 per year to her IRA. As you may
know, an IRA can be a great way to save for
retirement because it offers significant tax
benefits. Contributions to a traditional IRA
are typically tax-deductible, while any earnings can grow tax deferred. Roth IRA contributions are not deductible, but any earnings
can grow tax free, provided the account owner meets certain conditions.
Give Mom some stocks. You know your
mother well, so you are probably familiar with
the products she likes. By giving her shares
of stock of the companies that produce these
goods, you will provide Mom with a feeling
of ownership that she may enjoy along with
the benefit of possessing investments that
could potentially increase in value.
Discuss retirement income strategy.

Even if your mother has made some smart financial moves, such as investing in an IRA
and her 401(k) or other employer-sponsored
retirement plan, she may still need some advice on how best to initiate and manage her
retirement income. To cite just one action she
needs to take, she must start making withdrawals from her 401(k) and traditional IRA
once she turns 70. But if she withdraws
too much each year from these accounts, she
could deplete them sooner in her retirement
years than is desirable.
To develop a solid retirement income
strategy one that can help her avoid outliving her income she will need to coordinate
withdrawals from her retirement accounts
with her Social Security payments and any
other sources of income she may have available. Because its so important to put together an appropriate income strategy, its a very
good idea to consult with a financial professional.
If your mother does not currently work
with one, encourage her to meet with someone you know and trust.
Of course, your mother may be married and have her finances commingled with
those of her spouse. Nonetheless, every one
of the suggestions mentioned above is applicable and relevant to your mother, whether
she is singled, married, divorced or widowed.
Women must be prepared to take full charge
of their financial situations, no matter their
marital status.
Anything you give Mom on Mothers
Day will be appreciated. But if you can add
a gift whether in the form of investments
or knowledge that can help her make progress toward an enjoyable retirement lifestyle,
you will be providing her with an enormous
thank you for all shes done for you over the
years.

Just what the doctor ordered

By Byron McNutt
DHI Media
Dogs and cats have long
been considered mans best
friends providing companionship, love and affection.
Now, these four-footed friends
just may be our best medicine,
too.
From coast to coast physicians and psychologists are
recommending pet therapy for
human emotional and physical ailments. The success of
this prescribed pet interaction
is tremendous 92 percent report positive results.
A recent Kal Kan Report:
Pets on Prescription, says 49
percent of the respondents
have prescribed pet therapy.
Cats and dogs are most often
prescribed for loneliness, depression, emotional problems,
inactivity and stress. As we
all know, mental illness is a
growing problem.
Pets are prescribed for patients of all ages, most frequently for people over 50.
Other animals prescribed were
birds, fish, gerbils, guinea pigs
and even horses. Many people find horses hard to house
train!
The Kal Kan survey noted
that 95 percent of all respondents either now own or have
owned a pet. What they reported getting from that experience was just what the doctor ordered for patients with
emotional problems.
As if anyone needs to be
reminded, this is income tax
filing deadline week. A friend
passed along this short story
that proves women are much
better at financial planning
than men.
It tells about Dan, a single
guy living at home with his father. Dan worked in the family business. When Dan found
out he was going to inherit a
fortune when his sickly father
died, he decided he needed
to find a wife with whom to
share his good fortune.
One evening, at an investment meeting, he spotted the
most beautiful woman he had
ever seen. Her natural beauty
took his breath away.
I may look like just an ordinary guy, he said to her,

From a recent issue of The

Rotarian magazine comes this

A rope stopped in a bar,

asked the bartender.
Of course, the rope said.
Sorry, said the barkeep,
youll have to leave. We

The thirsty rope was also refused service at the next bar he

Not to be denied, the rope
decided to change his appearance. He frayed his ends,

entered a third bar. When the
waiter asked him if he were

er the most important in your

life, or the people you think
you idolize the most, think
about the following for a minute.
If you happened to show
up on their door step crying,
would they care?
If you called them and asked
them to pick you up because
something happened, would
they come?
Ifyou needed a shoulder to
cry on, would they give you
theirs?
If you had one day left to
live your life, would they be
part of that last day?
This was a test to see who
your real friends are or if you
are just someone to talk to
when they are bored.
Someone once said that
friendship is like the relationship between your two eyes.
They blink together, they
move together, they cry together, they see things together, and they sleep together,and
they do that even if theynever
see each other.
Some people really know

how to state the obvious. Consider these statements by famous politicians: Gentlemen,
it appears to be unanimous
that we cannot agree. And
there is this one: Half the lies
our opponents tell about us are
not true. And finally, I marvel at the strength of human
weakness.
You know youre a nobody
and truly forgotten when your
name is finally taken off all
mailing and robo-call lists. I
also feel bad now that my car
has stopped telling me to fasten my seatbelt.
I have a friend that suffered
from depression after losing
his case in court. I asked him
if his lawyer gave him some
bad advice? He said, No, he
sold it to me.
Heres a case that has good
news and bad news.
The recently divorced guy
was jubilant when he found
out his ex-wife was getting
married again and hed be
off the hook for alimony. And
then he found out she was
marrying his boss.

PAULDING
Junior varsity softball The junior varsity softball team picked up a convincing win last Saturday as the Lady Panthers got past Columbus Grove in
shutout fashion 17-0.
Paulding, who scattered just five hits, managed to score a single run in both the third and
fourth innings for their two runs cushion.
Kelsey Beck scored the first Paulding run
off of an Asia Arellano single and Karissa
Lucas who tagged a triple, crossed the plate
when Haylee Dominique connected for a single.
The win improved the Panthers overall record to 7-6 and 2-1 in league action. Ada who
entered the contest with an impressive 11-3
mark overall tasted defeat in conference play
for the first time to fall to 2-1.
The Panther pitching held their own in a mighty way as starter Mallory Taylor delivered three innings of no-hit work allowing just one walk while fanning
four. In relief, Briana Townley finished the day going the final two innings, not
allowing a hit, striking out three and walking one.
Offensively the Panthers snagged 11 hits with Jen Stahl (2 doubles, single)
and Kamdyn Etzler (single, triple) leading the Panther charge. Other hitters
for the winning Panthers, all with a single each, were Ashlynn Rice, Townley,
Macy Iler, Taylor, Kate Estle and Kalen Kelly.

Wake up and pray, America!
By JOE SHOUSE
Tomorrow, Thursday, May
5, the nation is called to observe
National Day of Prayer. The
day is a challenge for all of us
for personal repentance and to
pray for a righteousness within
our culture. The theme this year
is Wake up, America.
The National Day of Prayer
is an annual observance held on
the first Thursday of May, a day
that invites all faiths to pray for
the United States of America.
This year, here in Paulding
County, the observance will include a couple of options.
The Paulding Ministerial Association will hold a community
observance at the gazebo on the
courthouse lawn at 8 a.m. and
will conclude by 9 a.m.
Also, on Thursday, the First
Presbyterian Church will be
open for those who would like
to pray. The church will open at
6 a.m. and will welcome individuals until 6 p.m.
For those in the Oakwood
and Melrose area, the Auglaize
Chapel Church of God, Twin
Oaks United Methodist Church
and the Melrose United Methodist Church will join together
with a brief celebration of prayer
at noon in Oakwood at the town
hall.
This observance has been a
part of the calendar for more

years than most might realize.
It was first created in 1952 by
a joint resolution of the United
States Congress, and signed into
law by President Harry S. Truman.
For one day, the Christian
community is invited to come
together, if for just a brief time,
to pray and intercede for Americas leaders and its families.
This great country of ours was
birthed in prayer and in reverence for the God of the Bible.
Because of the faith of many
of our founding fathers, public prayer and national days of
prayer have a long-standing and
significant history in American
tradition. The Supreme Court
affirmed the right of state legislatures to open their sessions
with prayer.
is a vital part of our heritage.
Since the first call to prayer in
1775, when the Continental
Congress asked the colonies
to pray for wisdom in forming
a nation, the call to prayer has
continued through our history,
including President Lincolns
proclamation of a day of humiliation, fasting and prayer in
1863. In 1952, a joint resolution
by Congress, signed by President Truman, declared an annual national day of prayer. In
1988, the law was amended and

signed by President Reagan,
permanently setting the day as
the first Thursday of every May.
Each year, the president signs a
proclamation, encouraging all
Americans to pray on this day.
Last year, all 50 state governors
plus the governors of several
U.S. territories signed similar
proclamations.
has great significance for our
nation as it enables us to recall
and to teach the way in which
our founding fathers sought the
wisdom of God when faced
with critical decisions. It stands
as a call for us to humbly come
before God, seeking His guidance for our leaders and His
grace upon us as a people. The
unanimous passage of the bill
establishing the National Day of
Prayer as an annual event, signifies that prayer is as important to
our nation today as it was in the
beginning.
Like Thanksgiving or Christmas, this day has become a
national observance placed on
all Hallmark calendars and observed annually across the nation and in Washington, D.C.
Every year, local, state and federal observances are held from
sunrise in Maine to sunset in
Hawaii, uniting Americans from
all socio-economic, political and
ethnic backgrounds in prayer for

our nation. It is estimated that
over two million people attended
more than 30,000 observances
organized by approximately
40,000 volunteers. At state capitols, county courthouses, on the
steps of city halls, and in schools,
businesses, churches and homes,
people stop their activities and
gather for prayer.
belongs to all Americans. It is a
day that transcends differences,
bringing together citizens from
all backgrounds. Mrs. Shirley Dobson, National Day of
Prayer chairman said, We have
lost many of our freedoms in
America because we have been
asleep. I feel if we do not become involved and support the
annual National Day of Prayer,
we could end up forfeiting this
freedom, too.
As our nation struggles with
foreign and domestic threats,
economic insecurity, cultural
tensions, and continual challenges to basic constitutional
rights, citizens of the United
States need to prepare and heed
the call by our elected leaders
to rise to the occasion and exercise one of our most precious
freedoms the right to gather,
turn to God, and pray. Will you
respond to the call? Lets wake
up America and pray!

Scripture of the Week:

Dont worry about anything; instead, pray about everything; tell God your needs, and dont forget to thank him for
his answers. Philippians 4:6 (TLB)
By JOE SHOUSE
Want to see a fathers face
turn to discouragement or hear
a mother gasp? Then sit nearby
as they discover three words on
the box of a new toy: Some assembly required. What follows
will be several hours squeezing
A into B, bolting D into
F, and hoping no one notices
if steps 4, 5 and 6 are skipped
altogether. Parents want a gift
for their child. What they get is a
project sometimes a project for
life.
Some assembly required.
Its not the most welcome sentence, but its an honest one.
Marriage licenses should include those words. Job contracts
should state them in bold letters.
Babies should exit the womb
with a toe tag: Some assembly
required.
Life is a gift but it is disassembled. It comes in pieces and
sometimes falls to pieces. Part A
doesnt always fit Part B. Something is missing.
Its such a common problem.
We all have areas in our life that
arent working so how do we
respond when the pieces dont
fit? In frustration? In anger? In
prayer?
Id like to say I always respond in prayer. The truth? I am
a recovering prayer wimp. I doze
off when I pray. My thoughts
zig, then zag, then zig again.
But I also know theres power
in prayer, even simple prayers.
Mary, the mother of Jesus, knew
this too.
A couple thousand years ago
there was a common wedding in
Cana. The bride and groom were
not all that special but we recall
the details because Jesus was on
the guest list. While Jesus was
there, the wedding party ran out
of wine. Enter Mary, mother of
Jesus. So, on this rare occasion
she speaks and we perk up to listen. The mother of Jesus said

to Him, They have no wine
(John 2:3b, NKJV).
Consider this prayer of Mary.
The pieces didnt fit, so she took
the problem to Jesus. Quite simply...Mary didnt whine about
the wine. She just stated the
problem.
Then, Jesus said to her,Woman, what does your concern have
to do with me? My hour has not
yet come. His mother said to
the servants, Whatever he says
to you, do it (John 2:4-5).
Apparently Jesus had no intention of saving the wedding
banquet. This wasnt the time
nor the place He had planned to
reveal his power. But then Mary
entered the story: Mary, someone He loved, with a genuine
need.
So what did He do? Jesus
told the servants to fill the water
pots with water, and that water
became wine the entire party enjoyed.
Problem presented. Prayer answered. Crisis avoided. All because Mary entrusted the problem to Jesus. Her simple request
prompted a divine response!
Like me, you might think if
you take your problems to Jesus
every time you have one, youll
talk to Jesus all day long. I think
thats the point. After all, the
writer of Philippians reminds us
in our key verse, Dont worry
about anything; instead, pray
about everything; tell God your
needs, and dont forget to thank
him for his answers (Philippians 4:6).
When life doesnt fit, its easy
to worry or be critical or try to
fix it. But lets let Mary be our
model. She took her problem to
Jesus and she left it there. She
stated her problem simply, presented it faithfully and trusted
Him humbly.

This 18th day of April, 2016, the Board
of County Commissioners met in regular
session with the following members present: Tony Zartman, Roy Klopfenstein, Mark
Holtsberry, and Nola Ginter, Clerk.
County Treasurer Lou Ann Wannemacher
presented her monthly reports for the commissioners review. The countys investments
total $11,849,822.37.
Wannemacher then explained the monthly
breakdown of investment interest for 2016,
which included investment interest earned by

Economic Development, Paulding County
Jail, Paulding County Engineer, and from
CUSIPs. The commissioners noted total
interest revenue collected so far in 2016
is $29,116.16; $70,000 was estimated and
Wannemacher is confident it will be met for
the year.
Wannemacher also distributed the 2015-16
Summary of Charges, reporting real estate tax
delinquencies. She noted current year delinquencies are at only 4%. She reported her employees are working diligently to determine
property owners and collect the delinquent
taxes.
The
commissioners
applauded
Wannemacher and her staff for their persistency in working on tax collections.
The sales tax report for 2016 was available
for review.
County Auditor Claudia Fickel distributed
various reports were for the commissioners
review. Fickel noted the sales tax received
in April totaled $144,721.77, up from April
2015 by $6,904.92 and up $10,857.38 from
the four-year average (2012-2015) for the
same month.
EXECUTIVE SESSION
A motion was made by Holtsberry to go

into executive session at 8:04 a.m. with the
Paulding County Prosecutor to discuss legal
matters.
At 8:22 a.m. all members present agreed
to adjourn the executive session and go into
regular session.
IN THE MATTER OF ADOPTING THE
UPDATED COUNTY TRAVEL POLICY
Klopfenstein moved to adopt the following
resolution:
WHEREAS, the Board of Paulding
County Commissioners has included in their
Paulding County Business Travel Policy a
section addressing Allowable Reimbursable

Expenses; and
WHEREAS, it is necessary to update the
Meals portion of the Allowable Reimbursable Expenses section of the Paulding County
Business Travel Policy; now, therefore
BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of
County Commissioners does hereby adopt
the following update to the Meals portion of
the Allowable Reimbursable Expenses section of the Paulding County Business Travel
Policy as follows: III. Meals C. If overnight
travel is not required, meal allowances are allowed at 75%, not to exceed $44.25 per day.
This 20th day of April, 2016, the
Board of County Commissioners met
in regular session with the following
members present: Tony Zartman, Roy
Klopfenstein, Mark Holtsberry, and
Nola Ginter, Clerk.
County Auditor Claudia Fickel distributed various reports were for the
commissioners review.
Fickel noted the sales tax received

time frame totaled $1,518,954.48.
Fickel noted Plattenburg (auditors)

She asked if the cyber security policy
has been approved. The commissioners
confirmed that the policy has the appropriate signatures and it will now be
scanned and e-mailed to county entities,
inviting them to adopt it or use it as a
template to create their own policy.
Fickel had questions about courthouse security. The commissioners
explained they are still trying to determine the best route to ensure safety
for elected officials, employees and

Dog Warden Jared Renollet reported
the security cameras at the dog kennel are
up and running. He noted the dog count
at the kennel has risen slightly. Dog tag
sales were down from last year. Renollet
also reported a couple of dog attacks.
He will be taking vacation the last
week in July and the first week in August.
Renollet said he could get volunteers to
feed and water the dogs, but was a bit
concerned about someone to cover the
