Big changes for dog warden, EMA

By MELINDA KRICK PAULDING Paulding County dog warden Georgia Dysons final day on the job will be June 30 and assistant dog warden Ken Huckabaas last day will be May 31. As of July 1, the dog wardens office duties and dog shelter operations will be under the authority of the sheriffs office. The change is the result of a vote by county Commissioners Fred Pieper, Tony Zartman and Roy Klopfenstein on May 1. A press release issued by the commissioners later that morning stated, The commissioners are confident this change will promote efficiency and provide 24/7 service to the county residents. Dyson, Huckabaa and several supporters attended a press conference on Monday morning, which also was attended by Sheriff Jason Landers, media representatives and the commissioners. Pieper, as chairman of the commissioners, started the session, which lasted for more than an hour. He said that the board was making the move after months of consideration to better serve the needs of the community safely and with 24/7 service. They felt the best option was to transfer the operation to the sheriffs office, saying respect comes with the (deputys) uniform. Also, they noted a deputy has the power to cite someone for disorderly conduct and its important to citizens to have a quick response time. Nine other Ohio counties have the dog wardens office under the sheriffs department; none of them are in northwest Ohio.

www.progressnewspaper.org WEDNESDAY, MAY 8, 2013 ONE DOLLAR By DENISE GEBERS Progress Staff Writer PAULDING Changes are afoot in the structure of two mandated county services. Both the dog warden and EMA director will soon be coming under the umbrella of the Sheriffs office, at the direction of the county commissioners. (For dog warden issues, see related story.) With regards to the Paulding County Emergency Management Agency (EMA), commissioners are urging members of the groups member municipalities to dissolve the countywide executive EMA board and allow the agency to be restructured under their direction. Current commissioners say there are supervision issues. They see the current boards oversight of the director as intermittent rather than ongoing and would like to see a change, according to a discussion Monday morning in their office. They would also like to see things done in what they called a timely fashion. Commissioner Tony Zartman said the commissioners have been approached by citizens and first responders about an ongoing situation, but refused to elaborate, saying he could not discuss what was said in executive session. We have our reasons for making a change, said Fred Pieper, chairman of the board of commissioners. He added that current director, Randy

Shaffer, had expressed an interest in retiring. Zartman added that commissioners are currently in discussion with Shaffer on how to keep him positively involved until his retirement, but the matter has not been resolved. If there is any way we can get him to retirement without affecting the EMA response to the county, we will do that, he said. He added that they would like to retain Shaffer in an advisory capacity, He has a vast amount of knowledge. Commissioners, who indicated under their control the EMA director would be overseen by the sheriffs office, were unsure if the director would continue to be housed at the extension building or moved to the sheriffs office. It was noted the finances would become a supplement to the sheriffs budget. They said the EMA office would be reorganized under resolution and that the EMA director would become a county employee rather than one of an executive committee. Pieper said commissioners plan to attend meetings of each of the entities currently in the county EMA to talk about disbanding the agency. They hope to have the votes needed by the end of this month.

Dog warden Georgia Dyson explains her job duties during a press conference on Monday. The county commissioners are eliminating Dysons and assistant warden Ken Huckabaas positions and will transfer the dog wardens duties to the sheriffs office starting July 1. Plans call for the sheriff to hire a full-time deputy to assume dog warden duties, probably weekdays during the day shift. A part-time deputy will be assistant dog warden on weekends. Dyson wont be eligible for the full-time office because her husband already works for the sheriffs office and under state ethics law cannot supervise a spouse. Dyson, who currently is a reserve deputy, could apply for the part-time position, according to Sheriff Landers. The sheriff posted internally for a current deputy to transfer into the dog warden position. If no one shows interest, he will hire from outside the department. He said that after hours, the road deputies, if available, would have to respond to dog complaints. The dog warden would be called if necessary, but it would be overtime. Dyson has had to answer as many as 30 calls in one day. She has not had to euthanize a dog since last August. By her own admission, she See DOG WARDEN, page 2A

By BILL SHERRY Correspondent PAULDING On Monday, Paulding Village Council voted to terminate the county EMA agreement, approved several change orders for the new water plant and heard updates on a one-way street proposal, softball leagues and a building permit request. Commissioner Tony Zartman and Prosecutor Joe Burkard presented council with a proposal to change the Emergency Management Agency (EMA) from its original structure created at its inception in 1989. The change would involve terminating the 1989 structure of the EMA and setting up a new EMA structure under the control of the county sheriff. Council voted 4-2 in favor of terminating the 1989 contract and giv-

Paulding Council agrees to proposed EMA changes

ing Mayor Greg White the authority to sign for the villages acceptance of this termination. Councilmen Mike Trausch and Barbara Rife voted against the change. After the meeting, Rife commented, I voted no because I think we needed more information and I think all the county fire chiefs should have been in approval. And, it was noted that Gene Sheets, Cecil fire chief, was against the action. The action being taken of terminating the 1989 contract is the precursor of a new EMA being formed under the sheriffs office, but the legislation did not spell this out. It was stated that more than half of the Paulding County municipalities and townships have to vote to terminate the 1989 contract before moving on to the next step. Council approved village administrator Harry Wiebes Agenda by a vote of 5 to 1. Councilman Randy Daeger cast the no vote. The administrators agenda consisted of a change order with a list of 14 items described as miscellaneous items. This change order increases the original contract price of the water treatment plant and forcemain project by $65,376 from an original contract price of $9,614,000 to a total cost for the project of $9,907,302.22. The difference is the result of previously approved change orders 0 to 5 in the amount of $227,926.22. The street committee tabled the ordinance to make a portion of Jefferson Street a one-way street near the school for further study and will be making three more observations in order to obtain a greater understanding of the problem. Recreation committee chair Mike Trausch advised council that there has been some interest in 10 co-ed teams and three adult women leagues playing at Reservoir Park yet this year. The recreation committee hopes to get some solid commitments of teams and sponsors early in May. There was some indication that they may start playing as early as May 19. The recreation committee reviewed the possibility of the addition of a restroom at Reservoir Park, but recommended that the village not go forward with construction at this time due to the total cost of the project exceeding $50,000. Trausch told council that the wiffle ball field fence had been repaired and a new steel roof has been installed on the back shelter house.

A planning committee meeting is scheduled for 5 p.m. on May 13 to discuss the building permit for the old Paulding-Putnam Electric property located on North Williams Street. Jack and Paul Grewal from Napoleon are interested in developing the former location into a convenience-store type of facility with food service Councilman Tom Diaz advised council that there are numerous properties in the village that already have tall grass. Mayor White informed council that he had been in discussion with the police chief regarding this situation. Mayor White told council that mayors court for the month of April netted $775. The next regularly scheduled meeting will be held at 6:30 p.m. Monday, May 20.

authorizations, they have the authority to withdraw from the current board and form their own. Then, they said, all the townships and villages would be responsible for forming their own emergency response plans and hiring their own directors. Essentially, this would force the political subdivisions to join the county anyway. Last week when asked about the matter, Sheriff Jason Landers said, I cannot be the EMA director by law. I do not want to be the EMA director. But I agreed that I can supervise the position. Tamara McBride, of the Ohio EMAs Internal/External Affairs Department, told the Progress that the ORC does not regulate the number of meetings an EMA executive board must have and its only requirement of the EMA director is to attend one of its two annual training courses. She was unaware of any difficulties with the Paulding County EMA. In an earlier conversation with the last remaining member of the original EMA executive board, Cecil Mayor Gene Sheets, he indicated the commissioners called special meetings of the EMA executive board April 17 and 26. They wanted to disband the board and take it over. They didnt give a clear reason, he said. Sheets said at the first meeting it was noted that such a vote must take place at a meeting that had been advertised. The second meeting was set and a notice was posted in the courthouse, according to Sheets. He said at the second meeting an oral vote was taken followed by a written vote. Two dissenting votes were cast. During this meeting it came to light that the board could not vote to disband itself, but a majority of the member entities would have to take this action. Sheets said the commissioners told the EMA board that they themselves would be pulling county money from the EMA should the board not disband. The commissioners confirmed this at the Monday morning meeting. Sheets, who is president of the executive board and also assistant chief of the Crane Township/Cecil Fire

A history of county EMA

By DENISE GEBERS A history: In 1989 as a cost saving measure, all 11 villages in the county plus all 12 townships were approached by the county to establish a countywide entity after the state required each to appoint an EMA director of its own or to join together into one body. The move was pitched as a way to prepare for accidents involving hazardous materials, natural disasters or civil defense emergencies. Its organization was to be comprised of five village or township leaders, a non-elected official appointed by the board and a commissioner. This group was to select a director who would answer to them. Membership in the EMA was described as not permanent. Any township or village was allowed to withdraw at the end of any year by giving written notice to the commissioners and the executive committee 90 days before that years end. But they would have to form their own EMA. After several meetings, going into the early months of 1990, leaders of these governmental units agreed to form a county EMA. Commissioners set aside $3,000 to which each township added $100 and villages submitted anywhere from $50 to $300 for operating expenses. An executive board was formed in February 1990 and they appointed their first director in March. He was also the director of the Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC), another entity mandated by law that was previously in place. This group merged with the EMA for a smooth transition.) Department, said two of the commissioners were claiming that Shaffer wasnt doing his job, but he himself did not know of any problems. Because there had been no previous discussion of this proposed action, Sheets said he is angered by the move. He was not happy that the commissioners did not tell them what will happen should the EMA board be disbanded. I would like a better understanding of why they want to do this, myself, Sheets concluded. Id like people to get informed before this happens. Paulding Mayor Greg White is another EMA board member. Although he said he had no complaints with EMA under its current organization, he had no qualms about voting to dissolve the board. Im not concerned that emergency management will be any different that it was before, he said Tuesday morning. Paulding Council had voted Monday evening, 4-2, to pull from the county EMA so it can be restructured. I have all the faith in the world that the commissioners and sheriff can manage the EMA. I think its going in the right direction, White said. Councilman Mike Trausch does not share the mayors views. As one of the two dissenting voters, he told the Progress Tuesday morning that he felt the measure was ramrodded through. They werent forthcoming with facts and figures on what they have planned. They just had papers for us to sign to dissolve the board, he said. He said although he understands they want to make government more efficient, his questions concerning whether or not villages and townships pulling out would still have a say in EMA issues werent addressed. (For more information see Paulding Council story, Page 2) Attempts to reach other members of the board were unsuccessful. But Harrison Township Trustee Gary Benschneider, who is also a board member, had already signed the commissioners resolution to dissolve the board which was distributed Monday morning. Rick Noggle, disaster chairman of the Paulding County Chapter of the American Red Cross, seemed puzzled by the proposed change. I have a great working relationship with Randy, he said. I think he does a great job. He did a great job coordinating that disaster on US 24. Noggle had not heard any complaints about the current director. When contacted by the Progress, Shaffer confirmed retirement was an option for him as soon as December, but the commissioners had laid out retirement, resignation or firing as his options. He was unsure that the actions currently being taken by the commissioners are legal, stating that law does not exempt nor specify that the EMA director be under the auspices of the sheriff, but of either an EMA board or the commissioners. He was concerned about to whom the director would be responsible, the commissioners or the sheriff, as both are elected officials. Shaffer is not only in charge of the local EMA, but also the local LEPC and HAZMAT response team. Commissioners said it was coincidental that this matter, and that of the dog warden, is being handled at a time when a proposed amendment to Ohio House Bill 59, that would put both under the control of the sheriff, failed to make it out of committee.

Wayne. Decker was transported to Mercy Defiance Hospital, where he was treated and released. Wagners passenger, Brett Wagner, 30, Oakwood, sustained minor injuries and was treated at the scene. The crash remains under investigation. Assistance at the scene was provided by the Paulding County Sheriffs Office, Oakwood Police Department, Oakwood Fire and EMS, Samaritan Life Flight, R&O Service and Integrity Auto Body.

DOG WARDEN
cern about continuing humane treatment of the dogs and seeing them rescued instead of euthanized. Landers praised Dysons abilities at dog rescue acknowledged the importance of her work on behalf of the shelter. Dyson said she expects the sheriffs office and commissioners to come to her with their questions. The sheriff was open to the idea of volunteers helping with rescues. Discussions have not taken place yet on logistics and how exactly the change will take place. The residents in attendance were persistent in questioning why the commissioners made their decision. Not only had no dogs been euthanized in the past nine months, but the office had stayed within its budget ($60,000); shelter calls are forwarded to her cell phone for response day or night; and she hired an assistant warden Jan. 1, when her budget finally allowed the expense. Also, the commissioners didnt do any cost analysis comparing current expenses versus the cost of having deputies handle the jobs. The sheriffs office has enough to do, commented Bob Duffey. Youre not showing a cost savings. Theres no need to change whats already working. The commissioners said that budgetary concerns are secondary in this situation, acknowledging that the cost may be the same or it may cost more. Their main concern, said Pieper, is serving the public. They also noted that they had received numerous complaints, but would not comment on whether the complaints were directed at Dyson or were about response or service. We will not comment on complaints because its a personnel issue, Pieper said. On further questioning, he said that the commissioners had tried to rectify the situation before making a decision. They began discussing alternatives in mid-February. The commissioners feel the dog warden position needs daily supervision, which will come from the sheriffs office. Currently, the board meets with Dyson once a week. Pieper added that the commissioners had absolutely made their decision and will not change their minds. Its not a decision reached lightly, said Zartman. It weighed heavily on our hearts. Were not necessarily comfortable with the decision but were sure its the right decision.

During the press conference, no one was able to answer who will set policy for how long dogs will be kept after July 1. Landers admitted hes not sure of what kind of resources the future dog warden will have available to pursue rescuing dogs. He said they may have to resort to state law.

From Progress Staff Reports PAULDING Paulding County Commissioners held a news conference on Monday to explain their decision to shift the dog wardens duties to the sheriffs office. This is to become effective on July 1. Paulding County dog warden Georgia Dyson, found out last Wednesday, May 1, about the transfer of duties and the subsequent loss of her position. She was told that it was for safety reasons. This did not make any sense to her as she is a certified peace officer and a member of the sheriffs office reserve as well. She is also an Afghan veteran and received extensive hand to hand combat training. So, it was quite puzzling to her as to why her safety was a big enough concern to warrant them to replace her with the sheriffs office. Dyson, who assumed the role of dog warden in December 2010 said, I have worked endless hours to ensure that I didnt have to put dogs down. I havent euthanized a dog since Aug. 21, 2012. Also since I took over I havent had to use any money from the general fund. I have had a carryover balance each year since I have been the chief dog warden. The dog shelter is funded by tags and license fees and by donations. Dyson said, My job does not end at 4 p.m. I have the dog wardens number forwarded to my cell phone after hours and I know they are getting round-the clock assistance. Dyson said that she would not be eligible to apply for the dog deputy duties as she is married to a deputy and they do not hire relatives. However, it was disclosed that Dyson could apply for a part-time position that will be created by the sheriffs office and it would cover weekends. Meanwhile, assistant dog warden Ken Huckabaa, who was hired Jan. 1, will be losing his position as well.

The Amish Cook

We are having cold, rainy weather again. Monday was nice and sunny so we could get the laundry all dried. We are out of coal so, hopefully, it wont get too cold yet. It looks like it will be a late spring. It is so different from the early spring we had last year. The rivers are overflowing. There are even a few snow flurries mixed in with the light rain and the temperature is at 35. Susan, Verena and Benjamin filled out applications for corn de-tasseling. We arent sure if Benjamin will be able to go. If he does he would have to wait until his 14th birthday which is July 14. He is really hoping he can go. This is always disappointing to Loretta, since she knows she wont be able to go next year. It would be way too much walking for her. She gets tired enough from the whole day in school. Last week we had Kevin fitted for braces (leg). He was very upset with it all and doesnt really understand about muscular dystrophy. It makes our hearts ache to think of their future. That is why it is so important that we let God be in control and try to accept His plan.

Kevin likes to take protein shakes and tells us he is trying to not get MD. He always asks for vitamins so that he can stay strong, he says. He is such a young age and it is so hard for him to understand. He likes to bike and keeps asking us when we will bike with him to go to Jacob and Emmas house. He did bike the 4 miles there and back last summer. My daily prayer is to stay strong and help them accept what is Gods plan in their life. There are a lot of children in this world with problems so much worse than MD. That makes us think of how many blessings we do have. Our neighbor, Joe, and his friend, helped my husband, Joe, put up two swings from the big oak tree branches. The ropes had tore on the old swings and Loretta kept asking if we could get new rope. She loves to sit out there and swing when the other children are biking or playing ball. Our neighbor, Joe, lives right beside us and his 85year-old grandmother, Irene, lives across the road. They are both very helpful neighbors. Irene is still very active and does all her housework, mowing and has a garden. In the middle of the winter

To the family & friends of James Bidlack, the Grover Hill Fire Dept. & EMTs. Thank you. Connie Bidlack

The Bodys

There were four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody. There was an important job to be done and Everybody was asked to do it. Everybody was sure Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry about that, because it was Everybodys job. Everybody thought Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldnt do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody for Nancy what Anybody could have done. Whitaker From the time we are young until we die, there is always something that should be done, shouldnt be done, could be done, may get done or will get done. When we are young, we depend on our parents to feed us, clothe us, educated us and support us. That is what our parents do. When we start school and all throughout our school years, we have our teachers to guide us, teach us and prepare us for our venture into adult life. That is what schools and teachers do. Sometimes, parents do forget. Perhaps one of them forgets to give their child lunch money, thinking the other one did gave it to them. However, it may wind up that nobody has given you lunch money and you go hungry. Have you ever served on a committee and knew exactly what you were supposed to do? Did you have a certain responsibility on a committee? A lot of churches hold big dinners, there are county fairs, festivals revival services, proms, baseball games and banquets. If any event is to be a success, those involved should do their part to ensure things go off as planned with few glitches. We all play a part in this saga called life. Every cog in the wheel needs to work together to get things accomplished. It makes no difference what your name is when it comes to getting things done. You can be Everybody, Somebody, Anybody or Nobody as long as all those Bodys work together. Nancy Whitaker is a staff writer for the Paulding County Progress.

Community
MR. and MRS. ROBERT RILEY PAULDING Mr. and Mrs. Robert and Ruth Riley will be celebrating their 65th wedding anniversary on May 16.

The Master Designer

The long-awaited truly spring weather arrived last week and with it a venue for releasing some of our pent-up energy. The garden began waking up long before we could detect it, even though it seemed like overnight it turned green and burst into bloom. The problem, of course, is that we try to expend that energy all at once and weary bodies and sore muscles are the consequences of our winter inactivity. Last years drought, among other things, prevented us from doing some intended major redesigning of the main gardens here at Our Little Acre. So this spring has us scrambling to get most of it done before a garden club visits at the beginning of June. As far as garden design goes, Ive always said that Im not very good at it. My garden will never be featured on the pages of major home and garden publications. I dont have the self-discipline to rein in my desire to grow this, that, and the other thing, so I have a collectors and experimental garden that can tend to look somewhat cluttered. Occasionally someone will ask me if I could please help them design their garden or a part of their landscape. I get a little twitchy, because I cant rely on my artistic abilities when presented with a blank canvas. Oh, I can tell you if something can grow there or not, but just because it can

In The Garden

By Kylee Baumle
doesnt mean it should. Youd think with all the beautiful gardens that Ive had the good fortune to visit and photograph, that some of the design talent Ive seen would be acquired by osmosis. One of those gardens belongs to my own mother, who doesnt know how to make a garden look anything but attractive. But, weve all got our strengths and weaknesses, dont we? So I soldier on, scheming and planning and I dig up plants and relocate them to a different spot so that the garden hopefully not only looks better, but the plants will be happier too. Because part of having a nice garden is learning what plants need to thrive and not merely survive. I think about color and texture and height and spread and when what goes dormant and which thing blooms when. Its a lot to consider. But thats part of the fun and challenge of gardening. Theres always something new to learn and a garden never looks the same two years in a row. Townley, Sarah Wong, Shirley A. Workman.

As recently as this weekend, I visited a friend from our congregation in a local hospital. During the course of our visit and subsequent prayer, a nurse came into the room, at first was going to dismiss herself until our visit was over, but stayed and shared in the conversation by our invitation. During her visit, he was gently questioned about his pain level, administered the meds that he needed and was given the opportunity to express any other needs at the time. But, what really impressed me was the friendly effort she made to connect with his concerns and interests and how effectively she was able to do that. This week is suggested by area hospitals as, National Nurses Week. The thought of that immediately gripped my heart as I thought of all of the compassionate nurse moments I have witnessed over the years. One of my first connections of the sharing, caring hearts of nurses occurred in Good Samaritan Hospital in Dayton years ago when our daughter Kimberly was stillborn. After Joyce had given birth, nurses immediately emerged following the doctors visit and compassionately broke into tears while expressing their thoughts to us.

Since that time, as a pastor, I cant begin to describe the number of times I have witnessed the caring, compassionate hearts of nurses which had connected so quickly with the various pains of their patients. Oh, I know, as a pastor/counselor, they were probably told in their classes like I was to never allow themselves to become attached to the emotions of those who they care for. But a heart is a heart; like those who they are caring for, many of the caretakers during times of illness have gone through their own times of grief, pain and depression. They have had autistic children, sick boys and girls, suffered pain, heard the disheartening diagnosis of cancer, cried in despair and undergone fear of the future for themselves or their loved ones. But, there are many who also at

least, in principle, understand the words of the Apostle Paul when he says that we ourselves can comfort others with what comfort we received in our time of pain. (II Cor. 1:5) I know that there are those who have had not-so-good isolated experiences in suffering situations at times, but I am overwhelmingly impressed by the times I have seen nurses stay well beyond the end of their shifts, dedicatedly put aside their own emotions and pain to focus totally on those they are caring for, taking into consideration the anxious feelings of family members and loved ones who are standing nearby. The other side of me, the writer, enjoys interviewing young people about their future dreams. Recently, several have responded to the question, What would you like to do when you graduate, by saying, I feel that God is calling me to be a nurse. A calling it is; it falls into the category of the Matthew 25 principle, anyone that gives a cup of cold water in my name is giving it to me. My salute and prayers go out during this special week to those who have followed that calling and are probably too involved with their intense care of others to even realize this is their special week.

Every now and then I have moments of brilliance and whether on purpose or by chance, something turns out well and the aesthetics of it pleases me. Maybe I actually have learned a thing or two over the years. As I began working on this seasons version of the gardens, something occurred to me. For as hard as I try to get things just right, yet nearly always falling short, my gardens are inevitably transformed into a tapestry of lush shades of green, accented by rainbow colors of bloom. Not by me, mind you, but by the One who created it all in the first place, The Master Designer, and its just right after all.

A Penny For Your Thoughts....

By: Nancy Whitaker
WHATS IN MY SOUP? Eating is supposed to be one of the nice, pleasant things in life. We all like to partake of food that tastes and looks good. There is nothing better than sitting down to a home cooked meal and enjoying it with your family or loved one. Dining out is also a special experience as a lot of events are celebrated in a restaurant with a good meal. Naturally, when you prepare food or eat out, you want your food to look, smell and taste good. But, strange things can happen if you eat at home or dine out. This past week, a lady opened a can of green beans for dinner. She said that she put butter in them and cooked the beans in the microwave. Her son dished some on his plate alongside of meat loaf and mashed potatoes and saw something which looked strange. He asked his mother, What is this in my green beans? The mother looked and could not believe what she saw. It was a tiny toad that had apparently been picked and processed right along side of those green beans. She had purchased the green beans from a major food chain and let them know what she had found. She did say that she received $50 from the food packing plant which was located in Wisconsin. She also stated that she would not be serving any more green beans. A few years ago a lady bought a jar of tikka masala sauce from her local store. She was expecting it to contain a bit of a kick. But what she wasnt expecting to find was the dead mouse which had somehow ended up in the jar. She was making dinner for herself and her boyfriend and when she poured the sauce into the pan, she noticed it was a little lumpy. As she began stirring the sauce through, she noticed what looked like whiskers and a tail. She immediately knew it was a dead rodent. The couple took the sauce along with the dead mouse and received an apology from the store manager who said they would check into it. We are aware that some people will say they found something in their fast food just to try and sue the establishment. I recall when a lady was eating chili at a fast food restaurant and claimed she found part of a finger in it. This turned out to be bogus, but I still find myself looking for fingers in my soup. You just never know. Years ago when my first two daughters were little, we stopped at a restaurant and expected to get some good food. My one little girl ordered french fries and when she was eating them noticed something black in them. She fished out the black item which had antennas and legs. She said, Mommy look at this. It looks like an ant. Sure enough, it was. It had been french fried, but was still intact. I know that people do eat ants, but this was one piece of meat we had not ordered. We told the restaurant and they did get us a new order of fries. However, we did not go back to eat there again. We are lucky that we dont run into this kind of grossness every day, however, the horror stories of what has been found in food are numerous. I know that on the TV show Fear Factor they eat everything from baby chicken eggs to cow intestines, but to hear about some of the strange things found in our food never ceases to amaze me. Some of the unusual things that have cropped up in food are: fingernails, Band-Aids, spiders, cobwebs and maggots. You are probably thinking this is really some nasty items to find in food, and yes it does happen. I have been pretty lucky about discovering anything foreign in my food, but we still need to be ready for the unexpected. Have you ever found anything gross in your food? If you have, what did you do and what was it? Let me know and Ill give you a Penny For Your Thoughts.

Springs frost free date

By Jim Lopshire OSU Extension educator Frost-free days are your gardening window of opportunity. Plants have time to mature, blooms to form and fruit or vegetables to ripen. Frost free dates are based on historical data compiled by the United States Department of Agriculture, and should be used as a reference. Frost occurs when water vapor freezes on a surface when the temperature reaches 32 or below. It usually occurs on a clear night when heat radiates up from the ground. Tiny ice crystals form when water vapor condenses. Similar to dew, the temperature at ground level is the key. The temperature there is often colder than the air temperature just a few feet higher. Tender plants need to be covered for protection from frost. Freeze involves a 32 surface temperature that lasts for a significant length of time. Frost is not necessarily present. Vegetation damage is usually a result. A hard freeze is usually de-

From a reader of Penny Paulding Chamber answers concerns over running Flat Rock Creek Festival in 2013
In response to the Penny For Your Thoughts entitled Hands Down published on May 1, Bill Bidlack of Oakwood submitted a poem he had written in 1989. HANDS When I was but a little boy, The appendage at the end of my arm, Didnt hold a lot of mystery, Wonder or great charm. But as I became advanced in age, And pondered the functions of the hand, I realized that in His way, God had created something grand. The hand can be used in many ways, Some good, but oft times bad, Can be used to abuse and brutalize, Or to comfort a frightened lad. The hand tho its great cant work alone, From the body cant function apart, Direction must come from the human brain, By way of our human heart. If our heart is pure and founded in Christ, The works of the hand should reflect, Likewise if the Devil holds -sway What actions should we expect? Hands may be folded in a prayerful stance, Or clenched in bitter rage, Can hold a scalpel with delicate touch, Or gesture from the stage. We all show body language, And hands play the biggest part, But one thing is sure, What we do with our hands, Reflects the condition of our heart. PAULDING The Paulding Chamber of Commerce will be running the Flat Rock Creek Festival Sept. 20-22. The organization released the following press statement last week. Founders of the fall festival Bill and Patty Vance are stepping down after 21 years of service to our county. Executive Director of the Paulding Chamber, Erika Willitzer, says its hard to measure up what the Vances have accomplished for our county. Countless nonprofit groups have reaped the benefits of the well-attended festival by selling food or other goods. In return, those groups use the funds for their specific causes. Its truly amazing and admirable what they have done for our rural community, added Willitzer. The Paulding Chamber of Commerce Board understands that residents might have reservations over another group administering the festival, but we want the public to know that were not taking this new role lightly and we intend to run it with same integrity the Vances have done for so many years. One of the toughest hurdles the festival has to face is financials. While many might perceive this fall festival as having an abundance of funds, the fact is the festival takes a lot of money to put on each year. Just last year the festival had expenses of roughly $56,000. One expense example is the horse pulls. They cost anywhere from $7,000 to $10,000 each year. Meanwhile, the festival only has around $28,000 currently in its bank account for operational costs. The festival depends on gate and vendor fees each year to cover the rest of the expenses. If a rainout or low attendance occurs this could be detrimental to the festival continuing for years to come. The chamber board is aiming to make the festival financially sound and were working hard at this because we know how much it truly means to people. Its more than a festival, its a place where families reunite and old friends catch up on old times. Its a reflection of the past and a renewed spirit for the future, said Willitzer. In order to cover expenses, the Paulding Chamber Board has decided to ask for corporate sponsorships, raise camping fees to $15 per night, and ask that flea and craft vendors pay an electric fee of $15 extra for the entire

fined as 25 or below. The term killing freeze or frost depends upon the hardiness of the plant and the level of exposure. Although 32 is used to identify frost, visible frost can be seen on the ground and on objects when the reported temperatures are slightly above 32. On calm, clear nights, the cold, dense air collects near the ground. Under these conditions, the temperature near the ground can be a few degrees cooler than at the 5-foot height of the official National Weather Service temperature sensors. Open, grassy areas are usually the first to experience frost, while areas under trees

are more protected. Homeowners can protect plants by covering them when a frost is expected. Plants near heated buildings sometimes are spared too. Because of the abundance of warm buildings and trees, we often see frost in the countryside, but not in town. The safe planting date can vary from one location to another based on the microclimatic effects of urban areas, natural terrain, moisture, sunlight, and wind exposure. Also note the current weather conditions and projections as well as your sites conditions to determine the correct planting date for a specific crop and variety. The spring safe planting date for our area, based on the average date of the last normal freeze in the spring is May 20 which has a 10 percent chance of frost occurring. According to the Ohio Agronomy Guide, May 10 is the spring date with less than a 50 percent chance of having temperatures of 32 or lower for our area. With this in mind, enjoy a bountiful growing season.

weekend. All other vendor fees will remain the same. Every food vendor will be treated equally and will pay 10 percent of their net profits and that contribution to the festival is the same as last year.

The Paulding Chamber Board encourages questions and you can always contact executive director, Erika Willitzer via email: PauldingChamber@Gmail.com. The Chamber Board looks forward to taking on the festival and we hope the public understands that this is our first year managing the festival, so a little patience and understanding would be greatly appreciated by all the vendors, campers, and attendees that have made Flat Rock Creek Festival a tradition for years.

8A - Paulding County Progress Wednesday, May 8, 2013 By Rick Jones exec. director, Defiance Area Youth for Christ Who has God called you to love? Becky OConnell has been given a unique unofficial title, The Baby Whisperer. Officially, the 65-year-old widow is a temporary foster care worker. According to a 2013 article in the Chicago Tribune, She keeps baby clothes arranged by size in the guest room. The hand-knit caps are stacked on a table near the door. And the white wicker bassinet is always within reach. Becky OConnell is prepared because at any moment of the day or night she could receive a call from a social worker who needs to place an infant in her care. Some of the children have been abandoned. Others have been abused. All of them are desperate for love, for touch, and for attention. So far Ms. OConnell has taken in 77 infants, or about seven babies per year, that stay from one night to four months. The road to this unique call wasnt easy. In 1999 her youngest son, Ian, was killed in a car accident. For years and years after (his death), I couldnt concentrate, she says. I

Winning the Battle for a Generation

QUESTION: Our family enjoys laughing together. Sometimes this includes poking fun at each other. Do you think theres a problem with this kind of humor? JIM: Your family humor dynamics sound like those of the Daly household, but theyre not necessarily for everyone. Everything depends on your distinctive family culture. Because you are interconnected in ways unlike any other group of people, you take certain things for granted and know things about one another that no one else can know. You have a common language. If its understood that teasing is part of that, then you probably cant eliminate it without damaging your ability to connect. Tone and motives are also important factors to consider. Are the jokes and stories designed to hurt or embarrass someone? Or are they meant to express affection and appreciation? The real litmus test should be the reaction of the one whos getting roasted and whether or not they think its funny. It really boils down to two basic principles. 1. Never sacrifice respect for humor. There are jokes that demean and jokes that can preserve the self-esteem of family members. Make sure everyone understands the difference. 2. Whatever happens, make sure that every person in your family feels that home is a safe place to be. If humor comes across as threatening, communication will cease. This can cause all kinds of negative fallout. In this case, Mom and Dad need to dig deeper and find out what else is going on. Theres an old saying that many a truth is spoken in jest. But when teasing be-

If you want to resolve conflicts effectively, commit to confronting issues as soon as they arise. Simply suppressing your differences is not an effective way of dealing with the problem. The longer a disagreement stews, the bigger it becomes. Once youve initiated a discussion, be sure to communicate your concerns clearly and specifically. Avoid generalizations, ambiguities and absolutes. Using words like never or always to describe your spouses undesired behavior are rarely accurate and usually produce a defensive response. Try saying something like, It frustrates me when you dont take the trash out on Mondays, rather than, You never do what you say youre going to do. Along these lines, remember that its important to use I Staff Photo/Paulding County Progress rather than you statements.

looked and acted like a normal person, but you dont feel like a normal person. A few years later, as she was just beginning to regain her balance, she read an ad from a local adoption agency. They needed someone to be a temporary foster parent for newborns. To OConnell, who had always loved babies, it sounded like a dream job. If she has a secret, she says, it is simply giving each child her undivided attention. She adds, People think that babies bring a lot of disorder and confusion to a household, she says. But Im here to tell you its not the babies who are disordered and confused. Its the adults. OConnell simply says, My job is to fall in love with these babies. OConnells passion to love these abandoned, abused babies brings to mind the words of Jesus, Love your enemies and to love one another. Who has God called you to love?

every day, raise her arms to the sky and yell, Praise the Lord. One day, an atheist bought the house next door to her, and he became very irritated with the spiritual lady. So after a month or so of her yelling, Praise the Lord from her porch, he would go outside on his porch and yelled back, There is no Lord. Yet, the little old lady continued. One cold, wintry day, when the little old lady couldnt get to the store, she went out on her porch, raised her hands up to the sky and said, Help me Lord, I have no more money, its cold, and I have no more food. The next morning, she went outside, and there were bags of food on the porch, enough to last her a week. Praise the Lord, she yelled. The atheist stepped out from the bushes and said, There is no Lord, ha ha ha, I bought those groceries! (Hold on the ending is very good!). The little old lady raised her arms to the sky and said, Praise the Lord, You sent me groceries and you made the Devil pay for them!

New weight loss clinic opens at PCH

By BILL SHERRY Correspondent PAULDING The Paulding County Hospital board convened on May 2 for its monthly board meeting. It was announced that Dr. Mahtab Ahmed will be holding an open house from 2:305:30 p.m. on May 23 to celebrate his new office location and the introduction of his new medical weight loss program. Dr. Ahmeds new office is located on the south side of the PCH campus, across from the ER drive-up entrance. Dr. Ahmeds medical obesity pilot program currently has 13 hospital employees undergoing a 12-week weight loss program under his direction. At this point the group has lost a total of 139 pounds at the seven week mark. Two participants have already met the 10 percent of body weight loss goal. Dr. Ahmed will now begin seeing weight loss patients from the community. For more information please call 419-399-1745. Family Health Day will be held at Paulding County Hospital on Saturday, June 8, in conjunction with John Paulding Days. Discounted lab tests along with free Dexascan heel scans for osteoporosis will be offered along with displays from various service agencies in the area. Registration packets will be available at local physician offices, at the hospital and on-line at pauldingcountyhospital.com Chief Financial Officer Rob Goshia reported that for the month of March thehospital had realized a gain of $5,880 with a year-to-date gain of $28,829. Goshia also reported that the hospital is working on the malpractice insurance renewal with Coverys. There will be a small premium reduction this year. Chief Operating Officer Randy Ruge announced that a legal bid was announced for MRI imaging services. Siemens is the recommended vendor with an open bore unit with a 1.5 Tesla magnet. This MRI will have an opening of 70 centimeters, in comparison; an open MRI has an opening that is approximately 45 centimeters. The new open bore technology allows for a larger opening and at the same time, has a magnet that is 50 percent stronger than most open MRIs. The larger magnet results in better diagnostic images. Ruge presented a purchase request for Nuclear Medicine Services. The recommended vendor is also Siemens, which will provide for on-site testing and will put Pauldings equipment on par with the equipment used at both Lutheran and Parkview Hospital. This equipment will reduce total body scan time by 50 percent and cardiolyte time by 35 percent.

Ohio Rail Development meets in Defiance

DEFIANCE The recently purchased Napoleon, Defiance and Western Railroad (ND&W, formerly the M&W RR) was the subject discussed at a meeting held by the Ohio Rail Development Commission (ORDC) May 2 in Defiance. The ND&W runs through Henry, Defiance and Paulding counties in Ohio and extends into Woodburn, Ind. Tony Langham, Paulding County Economic Development director, represented Paulding County. Other attendees included the ORDC, the ND&W, representatives from Gov. Kasichs office, Rep. Lattas office, Sen. Portmans office, Defiance County

Commissioners and ED office, Henry County ED office, and Jobs Ohio. The goal of all attendees is to upgrade the short line rail for better safety, service and dependability. A cooperative mood was expressed by all as this rail could be a very good economic development asset to the area. Avenues for funding repairs to the line were discussed, which included pursuing grants and low-interest loans. The next step will be a meeting of the ND&W, Henry, Paulding and Defiance county commissioners and economic development directors to plan on short- and long-term repair goals and financing.

Genealogists learn about once-famous mineral springs, spa near Woodburn

PAULDING The Paulding County Chapter of Ohio Genealogical Society meeting was held April 10. Members were reminded of plans for a potluck style picnic and Riverside Cemetery walk at 6 p.m. Wednesday, June 12 in Antwerps Veterans Riverside Park. The evening program consisted of ACRES Land Trust representative, Jill (Rood) Nolls, who explained who they are, what they do and where they are located. At this time, their only preserve in Ohio is Flat Rock in Paulding County. Recently ACRES reached another milestone: preserving their 5,000th acre of land. The acquisition of the 87-acre Blue Cast Springs Nature Preserve in Allen County, Ind. increased its holdings to 5,046 acres. Blue Cast Springs, located about two miles north of Woodburn, contains deep ravines, over 3,000 feet of Maumee River frontage, active blue heron nests and mature hardwood forests. It is part of the historic Black Swamp wetlands extending from Allen County all the way to Lake Erie. The name Blue Cast came from the bluish colored mineral spring located near the Maumee River. Evidence showed a unique magnetic force not typical of mineral water. Folks described the drinking water qualities as an invigorating tonic with metabolic properties. Another spring to the south was found to produce sulfur water and mud, which spawned another business, this one to attract people looking for benefits of therapeutic baths. In 1902, Henry Schnelker, New Haven, purchased these 87 acres of land. He built a reservoir holding about 5,000 gallons of this now-popular beverage, collecting the mineral spring water 24 hours a day. Producing over 100 cases a day, Schnelkers blue and yellow label was seen throughout the United States and around the world. Bold letters proclaiming Blue Cast Mineral Water surrounded an illustration of the Fire Proof Sanitarium. Six fluid ounce bottles were described as being Carbonated and Bottled at the Springs, coming from the Blue Cast Company, Woodburn, Indiana. Schnelker sold the acreage to A.C. Hogue of Toledo in 1912. Hogue moved his family into the large farmhouse located on this land. After opening the sanitarium for business in 1913, Hogue expanded the Blue Cast Mineral Water bottling business, finding a buyer in 1926. Several Cleveland businessmen bought the company from Hogue, but closed it in 1955. A.C. Hogue used the grounds sand and gravel to build the sanitarium, made of cement and steel. A large lobby and dining room, modern kitchen and two small lounge rooms on the first floor, with 16 bedrooms on the second floor made up the facility. After a second closure, the building stood vacant, area youth imagined this place to be haunted and it suffered the consequences of vandalism. During Prohibition days, the sanitarium was said to be used as a speak easy and rumors circulated that Al Capone frequented this place. In 1939, the sheriffs department arrested 42 people aged 15 through 26. Gradually, all evidence of the sanitarium had disappeared, other than the footprint of the old cement foundation. While there is no other spring of this nature in Indiana, Blue Cast Magnetic Springs gave to Allen County a reputation for the best of natural and properly amplified facilities for the successful treatment of many ills. The renewal powers of the water at Blue Cast

Springs became known as a leading health mecca of the Midwest. Iron or steel, when immersed in this water, would become magnetized. The Blue Cast Spring has been endowed by nature with a peculiar magnetic force rarely found in any mineral water of any kind the world over. Thus Indiana could claim waters of medicinal value at Blue Cast Magnetic Springs. Anonymous notes told of dark moving shadows, red glowing orbs, cold spots with shouting and other strange noises. Other noted experiences at the rundown

A spa built at Blue Cast Springs just north of Woodburn reportedly drew such visitors as Al Capone, Clark Gable and Rita Hayworth.

sanitarium: The foyer, stairway, bathrooms and gutted out patients rooms on the second floor were marble. Ruins in the first floor were in sad shape in the 60s. Felt being watched, a real uneasy feeling. When the crickets stopped chirping, I got out of there quick! (excerpts from The Pictorial History of Fort Wayne Indiana by Bert Joseph Griswold and Mrs. Samuel R. Taylor). A couple of OGS members recalled Clark Gable stayed in this place and Rita Hayworths rumored stay was never confirmed.
