Documents released on EMA director, dog warden

By MELINDA KRICK
Progress Editor
On May 9, the Progress submitted
written requests to the commission-
ers office for copies of any and all
complaints received by the county
regarding EMA service or activities
over the past 12 months, and also for
the dog wardens office for the same
time period. The commissioners had
said that recent decisions to move
both offices under the sheriffs office
were because of complaints but they
wouldnt discuss details, saying they
were personnel issues.
On May 23, this office received 75
pages of material from the commis-
sioners.
A total of seven pages regard the
EMA office and director Randy
Shaffer. Two deal with outside attor-
ney fees regarding an alleged inci-
dent between Shaffer and another in-
dividual at a fire in January 2012.
One page is a commissioners jour-
nal entry from December involving
the radio tower at the old jail. One
page is a commissioners journal
entry from August in which
Commissioner Tony Zartman com-
mended and complimented Shaffer
for his hard work during the June
wind storm.
A third commissioners journal
entry from April 2013 documenting
the executive sessions with the EMA
board and with Shaffer. The final
two pages are copies of the EMA
boards motion recommending ter-
mination of the agreement.
The remaining 68 pages pertain to
the dog shelter and dog warden
Georgia Dyson.
Eight of these pages involve inci-
dents more than a year ago, beyond
the scope of the request. However,
most were about an individual com-
plaining about a problem with pit
bulls in Latty.
Overall, the balance of the docu-
mented complaints involved a hand-
ful of situations; some were numer-
ous complaints by the same individ-
ual and and others were the same lo-
cation with more than one com-
plainant.
Six pages note meetings between
Dyson and the commissioners re-
garding routine items such as dog
tag sales, vehicle quotes and pur-
chasing a power washer.
Another six pages are commis-
sioners journal entries about meet-
ings with the public on issues such as
recent dealings with the dog war-
den and no immediate action
from the dog warden or sheriffs of-
fice.
One page from Dyson details lists
of calls and messages back and forth
to one individual regarding two dogs
reportedly left at a rental property.
Last September, the commission-
ers met with Dyson and discussed
her policy on responding to calls left
on the office answering machine.
The issue of ongoing complaints
was addressed and Ms. Dyson
agreed to work on a solution.
Two pages detail a couple whose
chicken coop had been destroyed in
the June storm then several chickens
were killed, by dogs, they believed.
They said they had tried to contact
the dog warden and received no re-
sponse, and requested restitution for
their loss. A letter from the commis-
sioners referred to unprofessional

INJURY ACCIDENT ON US 24 Four pesons reportedly were injured in a two-vehicle crash Monday afternoon, May 27, at
U.S. 24 and Road 133 in Emerald Township. One person was transported by air ambulance. The Ohio State Highway Patrol
had no details at press time Tuesday.
Pauldings Roger Sierer and his wife, Elaine, are appreciating each other and taking life a day
at a time since he was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2010. Roger is among the honorary
survivors for this years annual American Cancer Society Relay For Life. He will help lead the
Survivor Lap this Friday to open the two-day event.
Pool to
open
June 3
PAULDING The Paul -
ding Municipal Swim ming
pool is set to open on
Monday, June 3.
Hours will be Monday-
Thursday, noon-6:30 p.m.;
Friday and Saturday, noon-
7:30 p.m. and Sunday, 1-
6:30. The cost to get in the
pool is $3. Children under 3
and adults over 65 are free.
The pool manager Kelly
Gaston said that the pool is al-
most ready to go and they are
still doing some cleaning and
minor maintenance work, but
things are on schedule.
Gaston also commented
that she had seven new peo-
ple on the front desk and all
nt even know what PSA meant. He told me
that it referred to the prostate. He said that nor-
mal is 4.0 or less and mine was over 11.0. He
told me that I needed to get it checked out.
He directed me to a urologist that comes out
to the hospital on Wednesdays, con-
tinued Sierer. That morning be-
fore I went out there, I saw on tel-
evision where doctors have a
tendency to over-diagnose
sometimes on prostate
cancer. I asked the doctor
if he minded if I had an-
other test.
The next week, the
number was up even more,
13.0. The physician was
emphatic to the local busi-
nessman that he needed to get
things taken care of. A series of biopsies con-
firmed the cancer diagnosis.
The doctor told me that I needed to have
surgery to have it (prostate) taken out, said
Sierer. He also told me that I had a slow kind

When Elaine Sierer asked her husband,
Roger, to take advantage of a spouses blood
test in March of 2010, his first response was,
Absolutely not, I dont need
it, I am in good health.
Every March the
school has a blood screening
for employees and their spous-
es, explained Sierer. Elaine
kept asking me if I wanted
one. I kept saying that I didnt
need it.
Ten days after the screening,
Sierer went with Elaine to an ap-
pointment in the office of their family
physician, Dr. Wendell Spangler.
As always, her results were good, said
Sierer. Then I asked him about mine. He
looked through it and seemed pretty satisfied
until he got to the bottom of the sheet. He had
a startled tone in his voice and said, Your PSA
numbers are up. These numbers are really
high.
I asked him what he was referring to. I did-

PAULDING Paulding
County Hospitals annual
Family Health Day is once
again upon us. The annual
event, held this year on
Saturday, June 8, draws in
hundreds of community mem-
bers who are interested in tak-
ing part in the unique opportu-
nities available.
This year the event, held in
conjunction with the John
Paulding Days celebration,
will once again be held in the
Medical Office Building but
displays will be located
throughout much of the hos-
pital.
The big draw (no pun in-
tended) is the blood profile of-
fered. It is a fantastic selection
of tests designed to screen
many different body systems.
It is a great monitor for some-
one who is taking cholesterol-
lowering medications or dia-
betic meds.
Even for those who are not
watching a specific problem,
this is a great opportunity to
get a snapshot of your general
health. Results of the blood
profiles are sent back to the
participants within 10 days of
the event. As always, after re-
ceiving your results, it is
strongly recommended to send
your physician a copy.
A list of tests offered can be
found on the website
www.pauldingcountyhospi-
tal.com, under the MY PCH
drop down tab, along with
downloadable registration
forms, payment information
and detailed instructions on
how things work on that day.
The only fees involved are
low charges for the blood tests,
most other screens are offered
free of charge.
Hospital services and organ-
izations from the community
will be present with interactive
booths for people of all ages.
Preregistration packets are
available at the hospital
switchboard and other loca-
tions. It is a great idea to pre-
register as this saves time on
the day of the event.
The event starts at 7:30
a.m., and will wrap up at 11
a.m. The participants must fast
for 10-12 hours, but may drink
water and take normal medica-
tions.
After the blood draw, many
people take advantage of the
fundraiser breakfast held in the
dining room of the hospital.
This fundraiser is held for
Relay for Life and a lot of peo-
ple are ready for a great sit-
down breakfast. Carry-outs
are also available.
Other popular screenings
are the DermaScan, which al-
lows the participant to detect
sun damage on the face, and
Dexa Scan, a bone density
screen for osteoporosis.

Hospital for the annual Family
Health Day on June 8. For

winners of the silent auction
of cancer. I asked him how
long I had if I didnt have sur-
gery and he told me 10-14
years. I said, Well, I would be
80 by then.
Once again Sierer asked for
a reference for another doctor
to check out possible noninva-
sive treatment. He was given
the name of Dr. Satish
Velagapadi, a urologist at
Parkview North in Fort
Wayne. He explained other al-
ternatives to Sierer, including
radiation treatment, which he
selected.
After several weeks of
treatments, he was given a
hormone therapy and in-
formed that he could have
hormone problems. He was
then referred to Dr. John
Crawford, a radiologist at
Parkview North, to fine tune
the final portion of treatments.
In addition, his body was
matched up with a special
treatment plan where he
would receive 48 radiation
treatments.
Each treatment lasted
about seven minutes. It had no
after effects, said Sierer.
They told me that (lack of af-
tereffects) was because I was
in such good health otherwise
that I was able to tolerate the
treatments.
Several months after the
disease was originally discov-
ered, Sierer finished his final
treatment on Nov. 9, 2010.
At first I took blood tests
every three months for the
first year, then every six
months. Now I am down to
once a year, said Sierer.
Following radiation treat-
ments, Sierers PSA number
had dropped to .03, one of the
lowest that the attending
physician had ever seen.
But then Sierers struggle
with cancer had emerged in a
different place. He had been
diagnosed with a type of
melanoma on his face.
For that, through a close
family friend, Doreen Vance,
who worked for Summit
Plastic Surgery, he was re-
ferred to Dr. Albert Morrison,
who observed and treated the
melanoma.
Ironically, when skin was
grafted to treat the melanoma,
it corrected a hearing problem
he had experienced in his right
ear.
These days, Sierer cant
thank enough his wife, Vance
and physicians who assisted
with his treatment.
I was such a macho; I
thought, This will never hap-
pen to me, said Sierer.
Now, Im so glad I got in
there and got it done. I am
thankful to be in the position
of a survivor for the Relay; I
am honored and I want to tell
everyone that if they love their
wives, their kids and their
grandkids, get in there and get
it done.
Im living one day at a
time; Im not looking ahead.
Im just living each day the
best that I can, Sierer said.
Sure, Ive always kept my-
self busy, but I had to take the
time out to get this taken care
of. Im glad that I did.
I kept insisting that he get
the treatments; Im glad that I
didnt give up. Hes a good
husband and a good father,
said Elaine.
She saved my life; Im
glad that I listened to her, and
to everyone who helped and
encouraged me along the
way, Sierer said.
attitude on Dysons part and
promised every effort is
being made to ensure it does-
nt recur.
At the same time, the com-
missioners received two let-
ters from a woman and her
daughter after an conversation
with Dyson over two dogs and
two horses. The family al-
leged the dog warden got
irate and angry and com-
plained about her treatment of
them.
On Oct. 3, the commission-
ers issued a verbal warning
against Dyson, citing the
continuing practice of not re-
sponding to calls in a timely
fashion. Also, once communi-
cation is established, being
disrespectful and belligerent.
For corrective action, they in-
structed her to listen to an-
swering machine daily and re-
spond daily. Be polite and re-
spectful.
Dyson responded with a
three-page statement with a
supplemental report from vet-
erinarian Dr. Melissa
Bowman. Dyson denied that
she had been rude or disre-
spectful. She said it is diffi-
cult to tell people and get them
to understand that I cannot
handle all the after hour calls.
She further refuted some of
the other issues and com-
plaints.
Five different sheriffs inci-
dent reports (totaling 24
pages) from Dec. 20 through
Feb. 7 involve an ongoing sit-
uation of complaints of loose
dogs at a preschool on Road
111. The complainant contact-
ed the sheriffs office several
times about dogs being on the
property. The deputy contact-
ed the dog warden.
In the second incident re-
port, the complainant asked
about the status on the dogs,
and felt the dog warden should
have cited the dogs owners.
The third and fourth inci-
dent reports involve calls from
the complainant regarding the
dogs defecating on the pre-
school property. The first three
reports were made in late af-
ternoon.
In the fourth report, made at
8:14 a.m., the caller said there
were three large black dogs
that were aggressive. She was
not satisfied with the actions
of the dog warden.
The fifth and final report
again was about the dogs defe-
cating in the yard and the
owner allegedly made an ob-
scene gesture to the com-
plainant. A deputy asked
Dyson to issue a citation and
try and stop this continuing
complaint. According to
county court records, the dog
owner was given three cita-
tions for failure to confine dog
and was fined on each count.
Four documents deal with
letters from three Grover Hill
residents in February pertain-
ing to loose dogs and lack of
response to calls to the dog
warden. The letters were re-
ceived during a meeting with
one of the complainants.
Two pages are commission-
ers journal entries on meet-
ings in early March with
Dyson and newly hired assis-
tant warden Ken Huckabaa.
Both included references to
requiring Dyson to keep logs
of phone calls and providing
copies for commissioners re-
view on a weekly basis.
A March 27 journal entry
reported on a meeting with
Dyson in which she reported
receiving 30 calls on one day.
The final three pages in-
volve commissioners journal
entries on May 1, in which
they voted to transition the
dog warden office to the sher-
iffs office and terminating
Dysons and Huckabaas em-
ployment, and a May 6 press
conference covering EMA
and dog shelter questions.
John Paulding Days reaches out to all interests June 6-8
By JIM LANGHAM
Feature Writer
PAULDING At first, the
thought of being grand marshal for
John Paulding Days was humbling
but not thought-provoking to State
Rep. Tony Burkley. However, as the
days have gone by since he and his
wife, Nancy, were first chosen to be
this years co-grand marshals,
Burkley has become more humbled
at the thought.
I guess when I started to think
about past grand marshals like Herb
Monroe, the thought of being se-
lected started to really get to me,
said Burkley. I told Erika
(Willitzer, executive director,
Paulding Chamber of Commerce)
that you would think that with the
kind of business Im in, I would be
more confident about this type of
thing. This is a real honor for me.
When I think of grand marshal,
I view some of the people who have
held that position before. I dont
feel like I am someone special like
some of them, continued Burkley.
This is quite an honor; you never
think of yourself as deserving
something like this.
This years event kicks off on
Thursday evening, June 6, with
rides and concessions by D&D
Putting & Amusements opening at
5 p.m. and the grand parade at 7
p.m.
Following the parade, from 8-10
p.m., there will be a free Family
Music Fest sponsored by the
Salvation Army of Paulding County
and the Compass Youth Center of
Defiance for all three days.
Other festival sponsors are City
Beverage, First Federal Bank,
Paulding County Hospital, A Plus
Propane and Time Warner Cable
Business Class.
Once again on Friday, things will
get under way at 5 p.m. with the
opening of rides and concessions.
The free Family Music Fest will
also continue from 5-10 p.m.
Also on Friday, at 6 p.m., chil-
dren from the community will be
invited to participate in a Courtyard
Candy Drop on the courthouse
lawn.
Kids are invited to line up
around the lawn of the courthouse
and when we say go, they can
walk around the lawn and pick up
sweat treats, said Willitzer.
Willitzer noted that anyone wish-
ing to donate bags of candy can do
so by dropping them off at the
Paulding County Senior Center.
One of the big moments of the
festival is the crowning of Miss
Paulding County at 7 p.m. on
Friday at the Paulding High School
Auditeria. Eight girls from Paulding
High School and Wayne Trace High
School will be competing for the
crown this year.
Contestants include Felita
Guyton, Paulding; Olivia
Hoisington, Paulding; Kylie
Bishop, Paulding/Vantage;
Mackenzie Haney, Wayne Trace;
Hayle Simonin, Paulding; Alex
Chandler, Paulding; Lauren Speice,
Wayne Trace/Vantage; and Mayah
Nance, Paulding.
Last years winner was Britney
Rosswurm.
Tickets are $5 and are available at
the door, from contestants or by
calling 419-302-3845. Over $500 in
scholarships will be awarded to the
winners, with a 50/50 raffle for the
audience.
Saturday morning, the fun of the
festival will be incorporated with
the Paulding County Hospital
Health Fair, from 7:30-11 a.m. at
the hospital. Those tests available to
be performed include comprehen-
sive health panel, thyroid screen,
hemoglobin AIC and PSA.
Those who participate in the test-
ing are invited to take advantage of
a Relay For Life fundraiser break-
fast that will be held at the hospital
dining room after the blood draw.
The cost is $3.
On the square, John Paulding
Days wraps up with rides and con-
cessions open from noon-10 p.m.
Special pricing will be in effect for
Kids Day.
The free Family Music Fest will
provide live entertainment from 5-
10 p.m.
When villages have this kind of
activity, it gets communities in-
volved in things where they come
in contact with people they would-
nt have otherwise, said Burkley.
Its sort of a front porch mentali-
ty where you get to know your
neighbors and other people in town.
It also draws in a lot of people that
come to visit during that time.
It might not be a large endeavor
like much larger communities have,
but it is a homecoming of sorts,
Burkley said. Its another opportu-
nity to highlight the community and
its businesses.

The Amish Cook
By: Lovina Eicher
Since we skipped having
church services here a year
ago, because of the fire, we
never did give the basement a
thorough cleaning. With the
heating stove down there all
winter, it accumulates dust.
The water that was sprayed
from the fire in the boys bed-
room seeped all the way to
the basement making black
markings here and there.
Thursday will be the wed-
ding for Joel and Alma.
Susans suit is all done.
Meanwhile, a friend from
church is helping out by
sewing daughter Elizabeths
cape and apron for her suit.
Elizabeth was able to sew the
dress, but the wedding day
was coming up too fast for
her to get the other items
done.
Daughter Lovina will have
her 9th birthday on Saturday,
May 18. She is excited about
that and is having her school
friends over on Monday, May
20 for a sleepover. She al-
ready has the evening
planned.
How could nine years have
passed so quickly? We had
only been living in Michigan
for eight weeks before she
was delivered by emergency
c-section 3 weeks before her
due date. I didnt even have a
doctor here in Michigan yet,
so we had some anxious mo-
ments. God once again had
His protecting hand over us.
Our sympathy goes to Ar-
lene from Dayton, Va. She
was here for a visit last fall
along with her parents, uncle,
This is Tuesday evening
around 10 p.m. Its late and I
should join the rest of the
family and go to bed. It seems
our days are extra full with all
the extra cleaning we are
doing, plus gardening.
Tonight we were out in the
garden planting until 8:30
p.m. We planted 92 tomato
plants. I am glad we waited to
plant as we had 29 degrees
yesterday morning.
It seems very empty
tonight as daughter Lovina
went home from school with
a friend. Only one person
missing makes such an empty
spot. I often think of families
that lose a child or parent and
the emptiness that must be
felt in the house.
It will be three years next
week that sister Emma and
Jacobs little 8-month-old Mar-
ilyn was laid to rest. We still
have precious memories of her
short stay here on earth. Gods
ways are not our ways. Our
children are a gift to us from
God and only He knows
when He wants them back in
His care.
Mother would always tell us
to pray daily before and after
the birth of each child. Who
can help us better than God to
raise our dear children in this
world so full of hate and sin?
Today we were cleaning in
the basement again. We were
gathering things we dont use
or need. Im hoping I can
have a garage sale next week
to get rid of the extras. The
basement seems to be our
place to accumulate so much.
aunt, and cousin, Sharon.
Sharon is a penpal with
daughter Elizabeth.
Arlene was married on
April 10 to Aaron. On April
30, Arlene found her husband
had passed away in his sleep.
How shocking this had to be
for her and everyone in the
community. May God give
her strength and comfort to
go on through this trial in her
life.

Ohio Veterans Bonus ends this
year for one group of veterans
COLUMBUS Ohio
paused this past Memorial Day
weekend to pay tribute to mili-
tary service members of all
wars who made the ultimate
sacrifice for our freedom, but
its appropriate to also pay trib-
ute to living veterans and those
who serve today in our Armed
Forces.
Ohio has a unique way of
thanking these recent veterans
and those who serve. Its the
Ohio Veterans Bonus, for serv-
ice given during the times of
the Persian Gulf War and the
wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
But the Ohio Veterans Bonus
wont be around forever the
deadline for Persian Gulf War
era veterans to apply is Dec.
31, 2013.
Veterans of the Iraq War era
have until Dec. 31, 2014 to
apply.
No deadline has been an-
nounced for veterans of the
Afghanistan War era.
I cant say it strongly
enough to Gulf War era veter-
ans, get busy and apply for the
bonus before it runs out the
end of December is only seven
months away, Ohio Depart-
ment of Veterans Services di-
rector Tom Moe said. Overall,
were very pleased with the re-
sponse of our veterans and ac-
tive duty military to the bonus,
but were going to keep on
spreading the word.
In particular, I want to ask
all of our Ohio veterans to
reach out to the Gulf War and
Iraq and Afghanistan vets, and
make sure theyre applying for
this, Moe continued. Often-
times, a veteran might hear
about something, but they
wont take action on it unless
the information comes from
another veteran.
The Ohio Veterans Bonus is
open to veterans of the Persian
Gulf War era as well as the eras
of the wars in Iraq and
Afghanistan, regardless of
where they served. However,
the amount available is higher
to those who served directly in
the war zones. It is also open to
the next of kin of those who
were killed in action or died of
disease as a result of in-theater
service. The bonus is not sub-
ject to federal or state taxes,
and can be used for any pur-
pose. To date, over $55.4 mil-
lion has been paid to nearly
66,000 veterans and families.
Specific criteria for award of
the Ohio Veterans Bonus is
service in the Armed Forces of
more than 90 days active duty,
not for training, during the pe-
riods of the Persian Gulf War
and the conflicts in
Afghanistan and Iraq.
For the Persian Gulf, the eli-
gible period is from Aug. 2,
1990 through March 3, 1991;
for Afghanistan, from Oct. 7,
2001 through a date to be de-
termined by the President; and
for Iraq, from March 19, 2003
through Dec. 31, 2011.
Eligible veterans must have
been Ohio residents at the time
of their entry into the service,
and must be Ohio residents
currently.
The bonus pays $100 a
month to veterans who served
in the Persian Gulf theater, or
in the countries of Afghanistan
or Iraq, up to a maximum of
$1,000. For veterans who
served elsewhere, the payment
is $50 a month up to a $500
maximum.
Veterans medically dis-
charged due to injuries sus-
tained in combat can receive
$1,000, plus up to $500 for
months of service elsewhere.
Family members of those
killed in action or who died
from disease as a result of their
in-theater service can receive a
bonus of $5,000 plus whatever
the service member was eligi-
ble for, up to a total of $6,500.
Veterans needing more in-
formation or who want to
apply can call toll-free to 1-
877-OHIO VET (1-877-644-
6838) option 2, visit
www.veteransbonus.ohio.gov,
or visit any county veterans
service office (see
www.dvs.ohio.gov for an inter-
active map of the county of-
fices). The department also
provides information about the
bonus through its social media
and at veterans events, and has
advertised the program in print
and broadcast media.
Ohio voters approved the
Ohio Veterans Bonus by an
overwhelming margin in No-
vember 2009. The law imple-
menting the Bonus set a
deadline for Persian Gulf War
veterans to apply of Dec. 31,
2013. The same law set the
deadline for Iraq War veterans
as the third year following a
date determined by the Presi-
dent as the end of the conflict.
Tentatively, this date is the ter-
mination date of the Iraq Cam-
paign Medal, which was Dec.
31, 2011, making the deadline
for Bonus application for serv-
ice in Iraq Dec. 31, 2014. The
clock will not start on a dead-
line for Afghanistan War era
veterans until the President de-
termines a date for the wars
end.
What are Community
Reinvestment Areas?
PAULDING Community Reinvestment Areas (CRAs) are
geographic areas that provide for Real Estate Tax Abatements
with each CRA having its own boundaries and guidelines.
Tony Langham, county economic developer, says CRA tax
abatements are for new real estate taxes that are generated by
new investments of real property for retail, residential and in-
dustrial property, similar to real estate tax abatements on En-
terprise Zone Agreements.
The CRA agreements must be approved before construction
begins and may offer up to a 100 percent tax abatement for up
to 15 years on new real estate taxes with a compensation agree-
ment attachment.
Paulding County Economic Development Inc. (PCED) ad-
ministers the CRA agreements, maintains records for the
county and sends reports to the state.
The PCED office has tabulated data over the years on Com-
munity Reinvestment Area agreements made in Paulding
County from reports sent annually to the Ohio Department of
Development, now known as Jobs Ohio. Over the years, the
office has written 92 CRA agreements. The total monies in-
vested as itemized in these 92 agreements by new business
and/or expansions totals $6,591,219.
PCED is the office responsible for economic development
programs for businesses in Paulding County. Its goal for the
community is to not only provide tax abatement for new busi-
nesses, but also for expansions of existing businesses. If tax
abatements didnt exist in Paulding County, businesses would
locate where there are incentives. Economic development is a
very competitive business. All counties and states are compet-
ing to attract new businesses to their areas. If a county is not
competitive with incentives, it cannot compete and business
will go elsewhere. PCEDs role is to help create and retain jobs.
All businesses are drawn to communities that have a repu-
tation for being business friendly. All businesses compete in a
world market and must save money in all their expenses, in-
cluding taxes.
The Mission of Paulding County Economic Development is:
to assist business, industry and local government in develop-
ment of job opportunities and prosperity in Paulding County.
To learn more about this program as well as others, call
PCED at 419-399-8282, or email pced@bright.net. The web-
site is located at www.pced.net.

Paulding County Auditor Claudia Fickel (right) was guest
speaker at the Paulding Kiwanis Club and discussed the finan-
cial status of the county. Fickel reported that the county is doing
better thanks to the wind turbine revenue. She said that con-
veyance fees (transfers) are down a little bit, but sales tax is up
by 3.5%. In the first quarter of this year, our county received
$44,000 in casino money, and it is estimated that $275,000 will
be received this year from casino revenue. She reported that
several levies have already been certified to be on the fall ballot.
Program chair was Stephanie Lorentz.
Commissioner
comments
Dear Editor,
Recent decisions by the
commissioners office have
certainly caused turbulence
throughout the county. I
would like to take the oppor-
tunity to present to you how
the commissioners thought
process works in making
controversial decisions.
It is our desire, as we
serve all the residents of the
county, to approach deci-
sions with humility, seeking
guidance and wisdom first
and foremost from God. As
situations are presented to
us, we analyze and investi-
gate all sides with an unbi-
ased view. We always seek
counsel from the prosecuting
attorney as to our responsi-
bility, capability and due
process. Our office is prima-
rily responsible for the fidu-
ciary needs of the county
government. This responsi-
bility is one in which we do
not take lightly. Many of the
decisions we are responsible
for carry with them the bur-
den of maintaining confiden-
tiality. Information revealed
during executive sessions or
regarding personnel matters
cannot and will not be re-
leased. We legally cannot re-
lease said information in
order to maintain peoples
privacy.
The commissioners office
will always provide informa-
tion regarding any decision
made that does not violate
an individuals privacy.
However, we have no desire
to participate in tabloid jour-
nalism. We will not focus on
the negativity of individuals
actions. But instead, we rec-
ognize that changes are
sometime necessary and
focus on how these changes
will make a positive differ-
ence. We respect all county
employees and thank them
for their service. We know,
however, that as managers of
employees, difficult deci-
sions must be made.
The decisions made con-
cerning the EMA operations
and the dog warden position
certainly meet all of these
criteria. Part of our responsi-
bility is making these tough
decisions. We did not reach
this point without much dis-
cussion, deliberation, and
personal prayer. We believe
these changes will better
serve the residents and real-
ize that time will be the final
judge. We respect the rights
of citizens to ask questions
and formulate opinions. We
would hope that these opin-
ions are based on truth and
not gossip.

Paulding Library system
seeks continued support
PAULDING The Paulding County Carnegie Library Board of
Trustees will once again ask the citizens of Paulding County to sup-
port their local libraries by approving an operations levy that will
be placed on the Nov. 5 General Election ballot.
This levy will be a continuing renewal of the existing 2.17-mill
levy with no increase and no new taxes.
Paulding Countys citizens enjoy one of the best library systems
in the country with access to bestsellers, new fiction and nonfiction,
books recorded on CD and PlayAway, e-books, magazines, news-
papers, music, movies, award-winning childrens programs, inform-
ative author and speaker events, public computers and much more.
Eighty percent of Paulding County residents are library card hold-
ers.
The library serves the entire county through three branches in the
villages of Antwerp, Oakwood and Payne; the historic main
Carnegie library in Paulding; and since 2010, a Bookmobile that
brings library materials to residents that are isolated from a library
branch. The Bookmobile also provides library service to preschools,
nursing homes and assisted living facilities.
The Paulding County Carnegie Library was funded in 1912 as
the first Carnegie-funded public library in America designed to
serve an entire county. The library is an independent political sub-
division and is governed by a board of trustees appointed by the
judge of the common pleas court. Current board members are Sue
Derck, president; Terry Wehrkamp, vice-president; Corey Walker,
secretary; K. Sue Thrasher, Suzanne Rister, Charlene Grant and Ron
Etzler.
For more information about the library call 419-399-2032 or visit
the librarys website at www.pauldingcountylibrary.org.

In My Opinion
The American flag
deserves our respect
This past Monday was Memorial Day. Its a special time
where many folks turn it into a weekend celebration. Cookouts,
parties, patriotic singing, fireworks, its all part of the American
way. I remember attending several of the Oakwood Elementary
School programs on Memorial Day Monday. The kids singing,
the quiet march through town as you made your way to the river
and quietly tossed a flower in
the muddy waters as you re-
member those who have past
away. It was always a moving
experience the school and the
community shared together.
Something else you see
more so than most any other
weekend is the flying of the
American flag Old Glory the red, white, and blue. Call me
an old fuddy-duddy, but every time I see the flag it makes me
proud to be an American. I appreciate where I live and the op-
portunities I am blessed to receive.
The other day I was thinking about the many events I attend
on behalf of the newspaper that involves the flag. Before the
opening kick off at a football game or the tip off at a basketball
game the flag is displayed and those in attendance rise to their
feet and for a minute or so we sing out loud or to ourselves the
Star Spangled Banner. And when I attend a village council
meeting or a school board meeting, before the first item of busi-
ness is discussed, we stand and look at Old Glory and recite the
Pledge of Allegiance.
Attending those all important games or local meetings with
earth shattering decisions to be made, I have come to appreciate
for that opening brief moment a time of reflection. That living in
American is the real deal. Its special and I would never want to
live any place other than the good old USA.
So, I have an opinion about this flag of ours. I think it de-
serves our respect and honor. When it is on display prior to a
game, at a meeting, or passing me by in a local parade, its im-
portant that I stand, and call me old fashioned if you must, but I
place my hand over my heart, because for me, its just the thing
to do.
Recently, I attended a board meeting and we started out just
like any other meeting, with the pledge. I stood to my feet, faced
the flag, placed my hand over my heart, proudly spoke the
words, and in less than a minute I was back in my chair taking
notes for the meeting. So wheres the rub? As we were speaking
those precious words ... I pledge allegiance to the flag of the
United States of America..., there stood next to me a young
lady dressed in black, pretty much head to toe. She turned to-
wards the flag, didnt look at it, and was all slouched over as if
to say, This is the last place I want to be and she never spoke a
word.
With my blood pressure hitting some serious high numbers, I
could hardly believe what I witnessed. Not that she had to
please me by standing at attention, recite the words or even
cover her heart, but that she missed a wonderful opportunity to
show respect to a flag and to a country that stands for freedom
and so much more. I only hope that one day she will mature to
the point that she to will become an old fuddy-duddy and appre-
ciate where she lives and what the flag truly represents.

Check for gypsy
moth infestation
By Mark Holtsberry
Education specialist
Paulding SWCD
The gypsy moth has infested many states in the northeast United
States, resulting in massive defoliation of the regions precious trees.
If you live where the gypsy moth is prevalent, you know the dam-
age this insect can cause. The leaf-eating caterpillars devour the
leaves of many hardwood trees and shrubs, giving summer scenes
a barren, wintry look
Gypsy moth larvae have been known to defoliate up to 13 million
acres of trees in one season, damaging local ecosystems and killing
trees outright. The larvae also crawl on homes, litter lawn furniture
and pools, and make outdoor activities hard to enjoy.
The gypsy moth is one of the most destructive pests of trees and
shrubs to ever be introduced into the United States. Gorging them-
selves on the leaves of up to 300 host species, gypsy moth caterpil-
lars defoliate and weaken the trees that make up our national forests
and community landscapes. Those trees that are already suffering
from drought, disease or pests are especially vulnerable and may
be killed by the gypsy moths repeated defoliation.
Before your next move, whether its out of state or just across
town, be sure to fully inspect household goods and help prevent the
spread of gypsy moths to new areas.
If you decide to do the gypsy moth inspection yourself, include
anything accessible to the insect. Inspect any article left outdoors,
stored in areas open to the outside, or stored indoors but used out-
side.
Enjoy your spring outdoors.

Linda Webb visits with veteran Russell Long during United Way of Paulding Countys Armed
Forces Day event May 18. Community members had an opportunity to thank veterans for their
services to our country.
United Way honors veterans
PAULDING United Way
of Paulding County held an
event to pay tribute to all
service men and women on
Armed Forces Day, Saturday,
May 18 at the Chief Super-
market parking lot.
Linda Wisda sat down be-
side Russell Long to thank
him for serving our county
and he began to share when
he served back in the time of
the draft when many of the
men went into the service.
Since then he has taken a
trip to see the memorial in
Washington, D.C. For those
who have not gone there,
Russell encourages all to go
as they will enjoy it.
United Way vice president
Pam Miller presented a cer-
tificate of appreciation to
each veteran and thanked
them for their many years of
service.
Refreshments were served
by Sarah Sajuan and Lauren
and Dakota Knieper.
Many other people also
stopped by to express their
gratitude by giving out hugs
and shaking hands with the
following veterans: John
Kohler, Don E. Adams,
Harold Williams, Richard
Bowers, Jim Wright, Dave
Hett, Russell Long, John W.
Saco and Paul Flint, as well
as others who wished to re-
main anonymous.
I think it is important to
thank our service members
whenever we get a chance. It
is because of their sacrifices
and bravery that we have the
freedoms we enjoy today
stated Sajuan, United Way
special events committee
chair. Please take the oppor-
tunity every time you identify
a service man or woman to
stop them and say thank you.
Those two little words can
mean so much.
It is such an honor to be in
the presence of veterans who
served our country unselfishly
so we may live the life of free-
dom and choice. Where would
we be without our service men
and women? said United Way
director Sonya Herber.
Passersby, and attendees
alike, were asked to donate
items to the local food pantry
while honoring service mem-
bers. Items collected will be
delivered this week to Caring
and Sharing Food Pantry.
Thank you to all who do-
nated items as well as money.
Many of these people also
shared stories experienced by
their family members while
serving our country.
Additionally, all veterans
who attended were entered into
a drawing for duffle bag gra-
ciously donated by Baughman
Tile.
A special thank you to the
Chief Supermarket for their
donations and supporting this
event to honor local service
members. United Way of
Paulding County appreciates
and acknowledges Chiefs
commitment to the community.

Orders given in Manor
House, Essen House suit
By DENISE GEBERS
Progress Staff Writer
PAULDING Nine orders were issued by
Common Pleas Court Judge Tiffany Beckman
last week following a hearing on all pending
motions in the Antwerp Holdings LLC case
against two former Antwerp businesses.
Present in court May 23 were Joseph Burkard
as receiver over Manor House Assisted Living
Ltd. and Essen House Restaurant Ltd., Ian Weber
as attorney for the two businesses, Robert Eheren-
man as attorney for Antwerp Holdings LLC with
managing member Kenneth Wilson and Stephen
Keister, attorney for Vancrest of Antwerp LLC.
The orders indicate Burkard will retain his po-
sition as receiver with full financial control over
both. His second account and report were ac-
cepted.
Burkard was authorized to pay Vancrest of
Antwerp $15,298.51 as reimbursement for va-
cation pay accrued by employees of Manor
House and Essen House through March.
Additionally, he was given authority to re-
search the issue of the effect of the unpaid
payroll withholding for employees of Manor
House and Essen House for the months of No-
vember and December 2012 and January, Feb-
ruary and March, 2013 to include making
contact with the IRS relating to the same.
The court will retain jurisdiction concerning
claims and expenses related to the two busi-
nesses and to determine if any payments had
been made previously without the receivers
approval. Specifically this would include
$55,996.05 in expenditures listed in Burkards
first report. The court said it will approve any
request for discovery relating to unauthorized
expenditures.
The final area the court retained jurisdiction
over was that to address a May 13 motion by
Vancrest to have Burkard pay $23,006.78 to
the Ohio Department of Job and Family Serv-
ices. The sum was due from Manor House and
is now being assessed to the new occupants.
Antwerp Holdings LLC was given permis-
sion to file a motion for summary judgment
for its third amended complaint by June 14.
Defendants must reply by June 28 with all re-
sponses filed by July 12. The next hearing was
set for Monday, July 29.
Both businesses were formerly housed in
the property now occupied by Vancrest of
Antwerp LLC.
Antwerp Holdings alleged in the complaint
that it held a lease with TDM3 Ltd. for the
property in question, bearing addresses on
Archer Drive and Woodcox Street in Antwerp.
It further said that entity allowed Manor
House and Essen House to take possession of
the property without the consent of the
landowner or a lease with them.
Further allegations say neither business paid
rent to the plaintiff during their time in the
premises owned by Antwerp Holdings.

A Penny For
Your Thoughts....
By: Nancy Whitaker
SWINGING ON A STAR
Believe it or not, I have
never seen a 3-D movie be-
fore at a theater, so we de-
cided to go to see Star Trek,
a 3-D movie, last Tuesday
night. Let me say it was really
amazing.
After we paid for our tick-
ets and got our popcorn, we
were given plastic 3-D
glasses that would be picked
up after the movie.
When the show began, we
put our glasses on and the
first thing a starship looked
like it was coming straight at
me. Of course I hollered and
it took some getting used to,
but I will say, the special ef-
fects in this movie were won-
derful.
As the Enterprise traveled
through space, it seemed as if
I were right in the spacecraft
with them. The stars looked
like they were stretching for
miles and that I could reach
out and grab one. It brought
to mind the old tune, Would
You Like to Swing On a
Star?
As we munched on our
popcorn and sipped our
drinks, it seemed as if we
were in another world. We all
probably looked funny in
those 3-D glasses, but I tried
taking them off one time to
see what the picture would
look like. However, I was so
surprised at the difference in
the films quality, I quickly put
them right back on.
At one point in the movie
there were huge flying ob-
jects which appeared to be
headed right for us and of
course I let out a yell and
ducked my head.
Now, I do remember sev-
eral years ago that they used
to have 3-D glasses with like
plastic wrap in the middle.
However, I never had a pair
and knew very little about
them.
I am now looking at movie
schedules and titles to see
which ones I can see in 3-D.
The Great Gatsby is play-
ing in 3-D, so I may just go
see it, too.
I know that people rent
videos, order them online and
can order movies on their
satellite systems. But, there is
just nothing better to me than
actually going to a movie the-
ater, getting a pair of 3-D
glasses, a big bag of crisp but-
tery popcorn and an ice cold
drink and taking yourself to
another place and another
time.
If you are experiencing a
bad day, go to the theater,
relax and take in a good
movie. But, make sure it is 3-
D, it is definitely worth your
time and money.
Do you like going to the
movies? Have you ever
watched one in 3-D? Did you
like the experience? Let me
know and Ill give you a
Penny for Your Thoughts.

Meyers escape
from prison camp
Rotterdam in the red light dis-
trict of Holland to find his sister,
Hanny. There he lived until the
end of World War II.
In the Berne area where I was
raised, I learned to know Meyer
and his wife, Josephina, on a
personal level. I visited in their
home many times and enjoyed
looking through his many
books of records of his life the
camp and after his escape.
He, to this day, is a very fer-
vent Christian man who admits
that his walk with God was
deepened as a result of his tragic
life.
I am especially indebted to
Bill and Josephina on a personal
level. His wife was part of
Ladies Bible Study. My mother
was also a part of that Bible
study for many years and she
and Jospehina shared weekly
prayer time together.
My first invitation to their
home was by Mrs. Meyer who
wanted to tell me that she and
The old adage that once
youve been through a crisis,
you can understand it better in
the lives of others, would be a
very difficult one for Bill
Meyer, a holocaust survivor
who lives in Geneva, Ind. to live
out.
Most likely, there isnt an in-
dividual around that went
through what Meyer suffered
while he was punished in a Nazi
concentration camp during
World War II.
Last Thursday, Meyer kept a
packed house spellbound at the
OSU Extension building, as he
told those attending how he had
been taken to a Westerbork,
where he suffered from disease
and, at the age of 13, saw his
weight drop to 45 pounds dur-
ing his two year stay.
Of interest to many local res-
idents was the fact that Meyer
was placed in the camp due to
helping the family of famed au-
thor and lecturer, the late Corrie
Ten Boom, in their attempt to
smuggle Jews out of danger.
Meyer and Ten Boom had be-
come good friends; they would
chat and she was one of his
early Christian influences as she
read Bible lessons to him during
their times together.
Meyer told those present how
he was crammed into a train car
so tightly that he couldnt move
en route to the camp. The for-
mer prisoner recalled that there
was a stench in the air that was
so putrid that it was beyond
imagination.
These days, Meyers story is
stored at the Center for Holo-
caust and Humanity Education
in Cincinnati and is the only one
in the collection from a survivor
who is still alive today.
Meyer told those present that
there arent words to describe
the horror of the prison camp.
He recalled scenes of childrens
races in which losing children
were shot, kids hung with piano
wire, with those in the camp
forced to look on.
Sick with diarrhea and afraid
that he would be beaten death,
Meyer plotted an elaborate es-
cape.
I knew that every day they
would take the dead out of the
camp in a big cart to the pits
outside the gate, Meyer said.
After roll call when the
guards were distracted, he
crawled beneath the stack of
bodies and waited. He laid there
all day in slime and blood.
At night, after the cart was
dumped in the pit, he escaped to

A home apple orchard can
conveniently provide tasty,
fresh fruits for family con-
sumption. One can also have
cultivars that may not other-
wise be readily available at
grocery stores or local or-
chards. A well-established and
maintained apple orchard also
enhances the appearance of
the home landscape as speci-
men, border, espaliered, or
trellised plants, while produc-
ing food for the family.
However, there is more to
growing fruit than planting the
trees and harvesting the crop.
Growing high-quality apples
requires considerable knowl-
edge about cultivar selection,
planting site, soil types, plant-
ing techniques, training, prun-
ing, fertilization, and pest
management. Without suffi-
cient and proper care for apple
trees, fruit quality will be quite
poor.
One of the most common
mistakes that home fruit
growers make is to select
apple cultivars to plant solely
based on fruit taste. Good ex-
amples are Gala and Honey-
crisp apples. They definitely
taste great. However, both cul-
tivars are neither resistant to
diseases nor insects. They are
very challenging to grow,
even to commercial fruit
growers.
To produce high quality ap-
ples, a regular spray schedule
is absolutely necessary to keep
diseases and insects at bay.
Most home gardeners do not
have the proper equipment for
spraying and are not prepared
for that much work.
How should gardeners se-
lect apple cultivars then? Gary
Gao, Ohio State University
Extension small fruit special-
ist, suggests that home fruit
growers should select disease
resistant apple cultivars. Com-
mon examples are Enterprise,
Freedom, Jonafree and Lib-
erty. These apple cultivars are
highly resistant to many dis-
eases and also have excellent
taste. Fungicides may not be
Planting a home apple orchard
needed for disease control.
Since most apple trees need
cross pollination for success-
ful fruit set, multiple apple
cultivars with similar bloom
time need to be planted in the
same area.
Some nurseries also carry
3-in-1 or 5-in-1 which
means three or five apple cul-
tivars grafted on one tree.
This is really neat. Gardeners
only need one tree.
It is also high beneficial to
select a dwarf tree for ease of
spraying, pruning and har-
vesting.
Home fruit growers need to
remember that insect control is
needed for quality apple pro-
duction. Bagging fruits with a
commercial apple bags, plastic
bags, or paper bags could be
one way to keep insects from
attacking fruits.
For more information on
apple production, gardeners are
encouraged to purchase a copy

Midwest Home Fruit Produc-
tion Guide, and OSU Exten-
sion Bulletin 780, Controlling
Insects and Diseases in Home
Fruit Plantings from their

my mother had prayed for me
on a daily basis for near 20
years.
Words cant express the com-
fort and peace I felt from those
prayers, knowing that her prayer
power was attained during those
difficult days in Nazi era.
Bill is also a deep prayer war-
rior; he relies on the power of
prayer to strengthen for the
tragic loss of his wife just a short
time ago.
It is those words of encour-
agement, prayer and hospitality
that makes me appreciate Bill
these days. To know his prayer
is to know power, the same
power that brought him out of
the wretched concentration
camp by escape.
We must never forget this,
Ive heard Meyer say so many
times over the years.
His recent speech in Paulding
County was a result of a pro-
gram series presented by the
Paulding County Carnegie Li-
brarys Centennial Celebration
series.
One thing is common to all of
Meyers speeches through the
area. He asks everyone to re-
member the six million Jews
who were killed during the
Holocaust.
I can feel them, hear their
voices and see them, said
Meyer. It was all done in Gods
name. If the rights of man are
threatened, they are all threat-
ened.

Purpose: Charitable giving
can be a great way to lower
your tax burden and accom-
plish something productive
with your assets at the same
time. If charitable intent is a
considerationwhether
during your lifetime or after
your deathhere are a few
considerations to take into
account before you give.
Be Specific: If charitable
giving is a part of your estate
plan, be specific as to your
intent. This week I was talk-
ing with Major Art Barter of
the Salvation Army of Van
Wert. He tells me its not
unusual for an individual to
leave assets in an estate plan
to the Salvation Army with-
out being specific that the
bequest is intended to go to
the Van Wert Salvation
Army. In that situation, a
good attorney drafting such
a will or trust should reach
out to the charitable entity
and ensure the wording is
specific enough to prevent
any confusion. Imagine the
confusion and conflict that
can be created if the will is
not specific and the person
lived between several towns
with the same charity oper-
ating in multiple locations.
Tax Benefits: Everyones
tax situation is different and
you should consult with an
accountant to maximize tax
deductions. However, as a
general rule, you can deduct
up to half of your taxable in-
come through charitable giv-
ing. Keeping this in mind
can assist you in minimizing
taxes. If you contribute
more than half of your in-
come to taxes, you may be
able to spread that deduction
out over the next several
years as well. It is helpful to
ensure that you do not lose
any tax benefits that can
come with charitable giving.
Consider Different Meth-
ods: Your style of charitable
giving may differ from just
writing a check to a charity.
Farmers may benefit from
gifting commodities, such as
grain. Perhaps you may
choose to gift shares of
stock, which can be struc-
tured to prevent you from
paying the capital gains tax
you would have otherwise
incurred. There are also sev-
eral other sophisticated types
of trusts designed to allow
you to maximize tax deduc-
tions over a long-term giving
plana giving period that
may last even long after you
are gone.
Conclusion: In any event,
careful wording and careful
tax planning are helpful in
ensuring that your true char-
itable intent is accomplished.
Our area is full of opportuni-
ties for givingwhether its
4-H, a pregnancy crisis cen-
ter or a church. Many of our
local nonprofit entities have
a big impact on our commu-
nity and are well worth sup-
porting. Why not also take
advantage of tax benefits
with your support as well?

Antwerp baseball team closes
out disappointing season
Future looks bright with 12 players returning
By JOE SHOUSE
Sportswriter
ANTWERP The Antwerp
Archers closed the books on
the 2013 season after dropping
their final game of the season
on May 17 at home to Wood-
lan (Indiana) 6-1. The previ-
ous week the Archers lost their
first tournament game to Fort
Jennings 4-2. For first-year
head coach Zac Feasby, the
Archers finished with an over-
all record of 3-14 while going
winless in the Green Meadows
Conference at 0-7.
We started out with a
promising record at 3-2 with
wins over Hilltop, Lincol-
nview and Wayne Trace. But
then we went into a tailspin
and lost the rest of them, said
Feasby. Even with the poor
record, we still played our
conference opponents much
tougher this year.
The 14-player roster was
made up of mostly underclass-
men with just two seniors in
the lineup Andy Coleman
and Colton Hamman. Cole-
mans batting average was
.234 while Hamman was third
on the team hitting at a .276
clip.
The rest of the squad should
return next year led by Pauld-
ing County Player of the Year
Derek Smalley. As a junior
this year, Smalley was at the
top offensively and was the
go-to guy on the pitching
mound. Derek hit .400 with an
on base percentage of .557.
Smalley, who also plays
basketball and football led the
diamond men with 18 singles
and 12 RBI, along with nine
walks.
As a pitcher, Smalley led
the team in innings pitched
(35), ERA at 1.80, and strike
outs with 26.
Other juniors who will lead
the Archer charge next season
will be Matt Reinhart, Brad
Taylor, Joe Buerkle and Tyler
Messman.
This years sophomore crew
that will play as juniors next
season include Trenton
Copsey, Collin Perry, Jon
Hudson and Alex Vail.
Alex was injured and was
unable to pitch for us this year,
but with the team we have
coming back and if Alex is
able to pitch we should be a
much improved team, Feasby
said.
Copsey produced an on
base percentage of .375 and
had two doubles for the blue
and white.
The freshman class, with
one year experience under
their belt when they return
next year, includes Jeff Cole-
man, Justice Clark and Cainan
Carlisle.
Clark was a nice surprise for
Coach Feasbys ball club this
year. Clark was second with a
.271 batting percentage along
with an on base percentage of
.419. The freshman also col-
lected six RBI. Jeff Coleman,
a younger brother to Andy,
was a solid performer as each
position he played. The
younger Coleman tied with
Smalley with nine walks this
year.
Looking to next year, we
will work hard to improve on
the field and at the same time
we will work at building the
confidence level of our return-
ing players, said Feasby.

Antwerp Gym gets
new floor, new identity
ANTWERP The gymna-
sium at the Vancrest Assisted
Living Complex in Antwerp
has received a refinished floor
and with it a new identity.
Leagues and tournaments,
hosted over the past winter
and spring, contributed to
funding the largest and most
expensive project to date at the
gym. Drossco Flooring, from
the Toledo area, provided one
of the few bids in stripping,
painting all new lines for two
basketball and volleyball
courts, and refinishing the
floor. The four-day process
has brought Antwerp rigid
court boundaries for two
courts, a complete new floor
luster, and with it a name
change.
The gymnasium has been
donned the McGlaughlin Ath-
letic Center (The MAC), in
memory of the late Tom
McGlaughlin, whose insight
in saving the former school
building was instrumental in
inspiring the overall complex
to the success it maintains
today.
Growth continues to be evi-
dent as scheduling at The
MAC has grown from last
summers 29 total teams to the
50 teams scheduled already at
The MAC this summer. Seven
summer leagues will run Mon-
day through Friday each week
in June and July.
Monday brings a second
season of sixth grade and
under boys teams. Tuesday
will be a big night as a new
varsity girls league and sixth
grade and under girls teams
play at The MAC.
Twelve JV boys teams will
also participate on Tuesdays at
the Antwerp Local School.
Wednesday brings 10 junior
high girls teams to The MAC
and Thursday follows with
eight junior high boys teams.
Friday then brings another
new offering in an 18 and over
mens basketball league.
All league teams will play
championship tournaments the
week of July 15, ending the
summer season July 19.
WAYNE TRACE
Junior Varsity Softball Wayne Trace
wrapped up the season with a 6-1
record as the Raiders rolled past
Delphos Jefferson 16-2. Sydney Crit-
ten got the win for the Raiders, strik-
ing out five while giving up four hits
and five walks in five innings of work.
Kayla Zuber, Carley Wright and Court-
ney Laney each had a double for the
red, white and blue with Leah Sinn
adding a single.

RELAY FOR LIFE SUPPORTER Scott Kemler of Baughman Tile Company presented a dona-
tion to Stephanie Hull, Paulding County Relay For Life committee member. Baughman Tile is a
Leaders of Relay sponsor this year and has been very supportive of Paulding County Relay
for many years. This years event is May 31-June 1 at Paulding County Fairgrounds.
SCHOOL RAISES NEARLY $17,000 Wayne Trace Jr./Sr. High School, through the efforts of its Na-
tional Honor Society, is pleased to announce that nearly $17,000 has been raised for the Maddox Franz
Foundation, with much of these proceeds coming from the 5K event held in Payne on April 6. From
left are Wayne Trace NHS advisor Miss Jacqueline Frake, Mrs. Sarah Franz (mother of Maddox Franz
and elementary principal at Wayne Trace Payne Elementary School), and Wayne Trace senior Staci
Wenninger. Close to 450 runners/joggers/walkers participated in the Glow-In-The-Dark event, ranging
in age from toddlers to senior citizens. This tremendous turnout was made possible through countless
hours of preparation from many behind-the-scenes volunteers, most notably Wenninger. Many other
sponsors, both community members and business partners, also made several generous contributions
to this worthy cause.
COMMUNITY SERVICE AWARDS Gleaners Black Swamp Arbor #780 recently held its awards cer-
emony for the chosen recipients of the Community Service Recognition Award. There are three cate-
gories of volunteers who are voted on, and this years recipients were John H. Kauser, Karen Schlatter
and Kelsi Manz. Kauser was awarded in the senior category for his time involved with John Paulding
Historical Society, as well as the National Truck Association. Schlatter was honored in the adult cate-
gory for her volunteer work with the EMS and Paulding County Crippled Children Children & Adult
Society. Manz received her award in the youth category, largely due to her volunteer work with Bless-
ings in a Bag program. Each was presented a plaque for their service at a dinner May 7.

windshields, made payments inside and even purchased items for patrons so they would not need to
get out of their cars. Customers were very generous with their tips in support of the LIA team project,
the Herb Monroe Community Park that will be located at the corner of Jackson and Main streets in
Paulding. The event raised $703 for the park. From left are Ron Williamson, LIA fundraising chair/food
service director at the senior center; Sonya Herber, LIA project coordinator/director UWPC; Marsha
Yeutter, chamber president and senior center director; Megan Clark, LIA team member and adminis-
trative assistant at Arend, Laukhuf and Stoller, and in back, Paul Steele, volunteer for the senior center.
Herber commented, This was so much fun customers did not know how to react to a full service
station! Ahhh, remember the days....
As nearby Van Wert prepares
to celebrate their annual Peony
Festival next weekend (June 7-
9), its shaping up to be a good
year for their bloom display. A
cooler than usual spring has de-
layed some flowering of earlier
varieties and prolonged the
bloom of mid-season flowers.
Based on the celebrations of the
recent past, this is a good thing
for those hoping to see a variety
of blooms while attending the
festival.
Any festivals that are cen-
tered around flowers, such as
the Cherry Blossom Festival in
Washington, D.C., and the Tulip
Festival in Holland, Mich., are
taking a chance that timing will
be right for visitors to see the
very thing thats the cause for
the celebration.
Peonies actually can bloom
for a very long time, if you plant
some of each variety. Were fa-
miliar with the herbaceous pe-
onies as theyre the most
common, but there are several
other ones that extend the peony
season.
Earliest to bloom are the fern-
leaf peonies (Paeonia tenuifo-
lia), a smaller variety with
feathery cut leaf foliage. These
are a type of herbaceous pe-
onies, meaning they die to the
ground in winter and regrow
again in spring.
Next comes the tree peony
(Paeonia suffruticosa), which
has the biggest blooms with
petals that resemble tissue
paper. If only they lasted longer!
Theyre very fragrant, with a
typical peony scent, but blooms
only last for a few days before
dropping petals.
The tree peony is a woody-
stemmed plant that can grow
quite large and keeps its struc-
ture throughout the winter.
Pruning is only necessary if you
want to reshape the plant and
despite their short-lived blooms,
their beauty makes them worth
growing. The foliage is attrac-
tive in its own right, with a
bluish cast most of the season,
turning bronzish in fall.
Shortly after and sometimes
overlapping the blooms of the
tree peony and those of the
herbaceous peony are a rela-
tively new type the intersec-
tional, or Itoh peony. This is a
hybrid, developed first in Japan
and introduced in 1984, with
big, beautiful blooms and fo-
liage like the tree peony, but
with soft stems like the herba-
ceous. Itohs die to the ground
each winter. They are the most
disease-resistant of all peonies,
and are the most expensive to
purchase, although some tree
peonies can also be pricey.
Right now were seeing
blooms of the herbaceous
peony (Paeonia lactiflora) and
it seems that theyre every-
where. One possible reason for
this is that Van Wert used to be
known as The Peony Capital of
the World. During the middle
part of the last century, large
peony farms were located in
Van Wert County and several
hybridizers produced new culti-
vars, some of which can be seen
in the Peony Garden in Smiley
Park in Van Wert.
Herbaceous peonies bloom
over a period of several weeks,
depending on the weather, with
early, mid, and late varieties.
They die to the ground each
winter and foliage should be
trimmed away to prevent dis-
eases from overwintering in de-
composing foliage, especially if
theyve been bothered by
mildew or fungus during the
year.
Another less common variety
is the woodland peony (Paeo-
nia obovata). This early
bloomer differs from other pe-
onies in that they thrive in
shade. Theyre a small species
peony, usually with a single
bloom form.
Peonies can live for one hun-
dred years and we should count
ourselves fortunate that we can
grow them here. They need a
period of cold in order to pro-
duce blooms, and our northern
winters take care of that. Pe-
onies are best planted and then
left where they are, but if they
need to be moved, this should
be done in the fall. Theyre rel-
atively carefree as long as you
plant them in a sunny area that
has good drainage and good air
circulation around them to pre-
vent foliar diseases.
Oh, and those ants com-
monly seen crawling on peony
buds? Despite popular belief,
they arent required to help the
buds open. The ants just love
the sweet nectar that the peony
buds secrete and theyre merely
helping themselves to a snack.
