ANTWERP During World War II,
Operation Carpetbagger was a general
term used for the aerial resupply of
weapons, ammunition, food, medical
supplies, and sometimes even spies to
resistance fighters in France, Italy, and
other European countries by the U.S.
Army Air Forces. Ira Green, who is 96
years old, is the only surviving member
of a Carpetbagger squadron that flew
such nighttime missions to resupply the
fighters. But his story is so much bigger
than that, it needs to be told in its entirety.
Iras father was born near Hicksville
in 1875 of Dutch-Irish-Miami Indian
ancestry. When they were of age, his
dad and his two brothers traveled to
Wyoming to find work as cowboys on
ranches in the Equality State. When his
father came home to Hicksville for a
visit, he met and married Iras mother
and they moved back to Wyoming for
a time.
While my father was out on the
range, my mother was stuck in town
with us kids, says Ira, who was born
Feb. 16, 1919. So she got a job as a
cook in a restaurant and put all us kids in
school.
In 1926, we moved back to Ohio
and Ive been here ever since. During
my childhood we moved around from
place to place, wherever Dad could find
work. I went to 13 different schools in
13 years, all in the Hicksville area.
Shortly after graduating from high
school, Ira went to Kansas City to aircraft school. But in 1941, he was drafted

walls are decorated with photos of him and the other members of the Carpetbagger crew, medals he was awarded, and other memorabilia from WWII.
Div. III Cross Country
Williamson is state runner-up
By JOE SHOUSE
Sportswriter
HEBRON The saying goes, third times a
charm, and for Sam Williamson, a third consecu-
tive trip to the Division III

state cross country meet in
Hebron meant another opportunity to win the title.
That was his goal as he,
teammate Erik Buchan and
coach Cord Ehrhart made

their way to National Trailway Raceway on Saturday
for the state meet.
Going into the Division
III state cross country meet,
Williamson knew his goal to

win this year had one major
stumbling block. Returning
to defend his title would be
Tristan Dahmen from Maplewood. Dahmen won last
years race with Williamson
crossing the tape for the fifth
spot.
The two seniors were back
for their last head-to-head
competition and Dahmen
successfully defended his
title with Williamson taking second with a solid effort. Dahmen was clocked
at 15:18.8 with Williamson
finishing with a time of
15:36.7.
Its a little disappointing. I had a goal to win and
I could have run better but,
just the same, Im proud of
the second place finish,
Williamson said.
The Archer senior participated in the state meet
three consecutive years and
had an outstanding showing
each year finishing in the
top 10.
As a sophomore, Williamson captured 10th with a
time of 16:25.09. Last year,
Jim Metcalfe/DHI Media the junior erased 23 seconds

winner from a year ago, successfully defended his title with Williamson finishing second.

PAULDING Work related to

construction of a new garage for the
Ohio Department of Transportation
(ODOT) in Paulding County and
a new ODOT outpost in Defiance
County is expected to begin this
December.
A new ODOT Paulding County garage will be built at 833 W.
Wayne St. in Paulding, the same
location as the existing garage.
Demolition of the existing buildings at the Paulding site is slated to
begin in December and be completed in February. The existing salt
storage facility will remain.
Work on the project was originally to begin this summer, but issues
in the detailed design phase and the
bidding process caused a delay.
We felt the project cost wasnt
where it should be, so we relaxed
the schedule to give us some time to
reassess, said Kirk Slusher, Ohio
Department of Transportation District 1 deputy director.
A few design changes have been
made that have lowered the overall
cost of the project while still keeping all the needed elements in the
buildings, said Slusher.
The project is expected to be
placed out for contractor bid through
the Ohio Facilities Construction
Commission in early 2016.
Employees of the ODOT Paulding County garage will continue to
work out of a temporary location at
356 W. Wall St. in Paulding until
the construction is completed.
A new outpost in Hicksville will
also be constructed and will be located next to the Hicksville High
School on Ohio 2/49. It will replace
the current facility located on Ohio
18 on Hicksvilles east side.
Estimated cost of construction is
$10 million for both facilities.
Construction of both facilities is
expected to begin in early spring
and be completed within a year.
The Paulding garage will be a
full-service facility which will provide more truck storage, an upgraded above-ground fuel system as
well as a decanting station which
will be installed to meet Environmental Protection Agency guidelines for disposal of catch basin
waste.
Within the plans is also an expanded mechanics area that will
allow the mechanics the space
needed to work on large equipment.
A new two-truck wash bay will also
be added.
A salt dome, pole barn and equipment storage building will also be
constructed.
The new outpost in Hicksville
will feature five truck bays, a
2,000-ton salt storage facility, a
truck wash bay and a decanting
station. The facility will primarily
serve the winter operations for both
the ODOT Defiance and Paulding
county maintenance crews.
The Hicksville outpost will remain in operation until the new facility is complete.

into the service.
They asked us which
branch we wanted to go into,
he recalls, so I said the Air
Force. Then they shipped me to
Jefferson Barracks in St. Louis,
which had been used as a training facility during the Civil
War. It was a BIG place! Later
that same year, I was sent to a
school in New York and later
to Macon, Georgia, for more
training. The base in Macon
was also a training station for
British pilots. I was there approximately two years.
Ira was the crew chief on five
different planes.
But when they asked for
volunteers for the bomber crew,
I thought to myself, Heres
my chance! he recalls. So I
signed up for that. Then they
shipped me back to Salt Lake
City. Thats where the air crews
were put together. After that, I
was on several bases out West,
mostly in Idaho and Utah.
Once the air crews were
assembled, they were sent to
New York where they were to
depart for overseas.
But I ended up in the hospital with the flu, he says. The
rest of my crew flew on over,
but when I got out of the hospital they put me on the Queen
Mary! There were over 23,000
people on that ship nurses,
Air Force and Army personnel
and all kinds of people. We
docked in England, and then I
was taken to Royal Air Force
Station Harrington, which is
now the Carpetbagger Aviation
Museum. Even though its British, its still maintained by the
Carpetbagger Association.
According to the Carpetbagger website on Wikipedia, from
January 1944 until the end of
the war, the Carpetbaggers,
along with the British Special
Operations Executive and later
the Special Forces Headquarters in London, dropped spies
and supplies to the resistance
forces of France, Belgium,

the Netherlands, Denmark and

Norway.
We flew at night, all by
ourselves, without any bomber
protection, recalls Ira. Our
planes B-24 Liberators were
painted black so they wouldnt
show up against the night sky.
We only flew on moonlit nights
and never took off before 10
oclock, and most of our flights
were more than five hours long.
I remember one that lasted TEN
hours!
People from some of the
other countries would come to
England with a list of supplies
they needed. Sometimes we
flew in supplies and sometimes
we flew in people. Whatever
they needed, we took it in.
To ready the big planes for
carrying supplies and people,
the bottom gun turret had been
taken out and the hole covered
with plywood. The opening was
known as a dump hole or joe
hole. As the dispatcher on the
secret flights, Ira was in charge
of getting all the merchandise
out of the plane at the right
time.
We never knew what supplies we were carrying, he
says. They were all packed in
long tubes that we shoved out
when the pilot signaled us to.
If we were hauling people, we
werent allowed to converse
with them. We were members
of the only secret organization
the government had in World
War II and we didnt dare
talk to anyone. Wed sit them
around the dump hole and just
tap them on the head when it
was time for them to jump. Id
have them all hooked up and
ready to go. When the green
light came on, Id tap their
heads and out theyd go. If we
were hauling people and supplies, we always dropped the
people first.
Ira remembers some harrowing experiences on the night
flights.
One time we were on our
way back from a mission and
were running out of fuel, he
says. I wore headphones and a
throat mic and so did the pilot.
He yelled at me, Get that gas
coming! but there wasnt anything I could do. So I shouted
back, Pick up the right wing!
When he did, the fuel sloshed
over and gave us enough time
to get back to the base.
But he says the scariest flight
of all was when the crew had
not had time to drop its entire
load.
We still had four packages
in the bomb bay, he remembers. The pilot radioed me
and said to go down and pull
the pins on the static lines so
the chutes wouldnt open.
When I got down there, I discovered that the unit that drove
the tail turret was on fire. I
radioed the pilot and shouted,
Weve got a fire in the tail!
But he thought I said, Weve
got a fighter on our tail!
I knew I had to get the
three-foot-high flames out, so I
grabbed a fire ax and chopped
a big hole in the side of the
plane to cut that unit loose.
Then I dropped it into the English Channel. I know today
that thats the only thing that
saved our plane. Im eligible
for the Medal of Honor for
that, but if I ever get it Im sure
it will be posthumously. Im
the only survivor of that crew
of Carpetbaggers, so theres no
one left to verify my story.
Throughout his Air Force
career, Ira flew 35 missions
with six different pilots.
The length of a tour was
actually 24 missions, he says.
But sometimes at night wed
be sitting around the barracks
and one of our superiors would
come and ask if anyone wanted
to go out. I figured I might as
well, so Id volunteer. I never
had anything to do with girls
when I was in the service, so I
was usually bored in the evening.
Staff Sergeant Ira W. Green
was honorably discharged
from the Army Air Force on
Sept. 2, 1945 at Camp Atterbury in Indiana.
But when Ira got home from
the service and attended a Friday night dance at the school
in Hicksville, he met a girl
named Opal Beerbower.
I walked into the gym and
saw a girl sitting across the
way, he says. Id never seen
this girl before in my life, but I
said to myself, Thats the girl
Im going to marry. I walked
over and asked her to dance.
We were out on the dance floor
and I said, Will you marry
me? And she said yes!
We went together about a
year and a half, and then got
married on Easter Sunday in
1947. We were married 63
years when she passed away
four years ago. I sure do still
miss her.
The couple has three daughters, one son, six grandchildren
and over 20 great- and greatgreat grandchildren.
After Opal and I were
married, I needed a job, Ira
continues. I worked for the
Atlantic & Pacific [A&P] Tea
Company as a meat cutter for
31 years in Ohio and Michigan. I made a good living, but
I was gone from home quite a
bit. But Opal and I never had
an argument. I just turned everything over to her.

Ira Green is proud of the medals he won during World War II. This framed collection shows, among
others, the Air Medal (bottom row, second from left), Distinguished Flying Cross (bottom row, middle) and the AAF sleeve patch. The newspaper clipping under the sleeve patch reads, Award of
the Air Medal to Staff Sergeant Ira W. Green has been announced by Lieutenant General Doolittle,
Commanding General, Eighth Air Force, in England. The award was presented to Sergeant Green in
a recent ceremony. Sergeant Green is a gunner of one of the AAFs giant B-24 Liberators operating
from this heavy bomber base over occupied Europe, and is a veteran of numerous missions over
enemy territory. He is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Ira W. Green, Spencerville Street, Hicksville.
These days, Ira lives in an
apartment at the Manor House
in Antwerp. He still drives and
has his own car and comes and
goes as he pleases. He enjoys
the activities at the Manor

House, but says his favorite
pastime is talking about the war
and being a Carpetbagger. And
he loves to show off the replica
of a B-24 that hangs from his

ceiling. He says its just like
the one where so many of his
military experiences happened
many, many years ago.

Continued from Page 1A
with a time of 16:02.85, good for fifth place.

This time around, Williamson clipped nearly
37 seconds off his time from last year.
On Saturday we came in with a strategy.
Coach Cord Ehrhart is a great coach and he
had me mentally prepared. I was a little nervous, but I went through the same routine. I
ate the same food at the same time before the
race and kept my legs fresh. I was ready to go
when the race started, Williamson said.
Knowing how Dahmen runs and how he
comes out of the gate, both Williamson and
Coach Ehrhart had a strategy in place, but it
was apparent that he changed it up a little bit.
He (Dahmen) threw us a curve ball. I
thought he would go out strong in the first mile
and I would challenge him. But the first mile
was slower than I anticipated and the front
runners all stayed together. When we got to
the second mile, he picked it up and I was the
only one who stayed with him, but in the third
mile he put some distance on me and I knew
I couldnt catch him. Tristan is a very good
runner, Williamson commented.
After the meet and reflecting on Sams career, Coach Ehrhart said, Being able to help
him, coach him, and train him has been an
honor. At our meet the team night in August,
I was asked what meets Sam had won. I replied, All of them, but thewonderful thing
about Sam is he is humble.He works extremely hard, and listens to what you say. Then he
uses his insight to help other people. He would
always be found cheering on other athletes after he had long finished.
Yes, Sam won every meet this season ex-
cept the state meet, where he finished second,

but for me to hear from other coaches how
much they admire Sam how much other area
athletes look up to Sam gives you an idea at
how special this young man is to his school
and community, commented Ehrhart.
Teammate Erik Buchan also represented
Antwerp High School and Paulding County
with a 47th place finish. Buchan ran the course
in 16:52.0.
There were 156 runners in the Division III
boys race.
I am incredibly proud of Erik Buchan. He
has always been a huge key to our success, especially this season, said Coach Ehrhart.
Now, everyone will see his face on our
state wall right next to Sam, which is the way
it should be. For almost any other school, Erik
Buchan would be a number one man; for us he
has given us a tremendous one-two punch. I
will always remember his work ethic, his selflessness, and his hilarity. He was a great Archer standout and will be remembered as one
of our programs best athletes.

Just like young women everywhere,

newlywed Elizabeth consults Mom
Dear Readers:
Hi! Im Lovinas oldest
daughter Elizabeth. Im not as
good as Mom at writing this
column but decided to give it
a try again. Its been several
years ago that I last wrote it
for Mom.
As you all know I am now
married to Timothy. Our home
is seven miles from my family.
I enjoy my new life as Timothys wife. It was a big change
and I miss not being with my
family every day.
I still work at the RV factory. This week its shut down
so Im enjoying my time off.
Yesterday, I spent the day with
Mom and my sisters Susan,
19, Verena, 17, and Loretta, 15. Tim harnessed up our
mare, Shiann, and hitched her
to the buggy for me before he
left for work. I left soon after
he did and arrived at Mom and
Dads right at daylight. Shianns a very safe and gentle
horse my favorite! We had
an enjoyable day.
I arrived home just as Tim
came up from hunting. He was
excited as he had just shot his
fourth deerthis time it being
a big seven-point buck. We
took our horse Prince out back
and had him drag the buck up.
Tim shot all four deer with his
bow this season, supplying us
with plenty of meat.
Monday, I canned 34 pints
of venison chunks. It was the
first time I used the pressure
cookers. We received two
pressure cookers as wedding
gifts from Uncle Jacob and
Aunt Emma and Tims brother Joseph Jr. and Rachel. I
had to disturb Mom with a
couple phone calls and a hand
full of questions each time.
With Moms help I got all the
chunks canned.
Today is a rainy, chilly, fall
day. The trees in our yard are
looking very bare without
their leaves. I suppose winter
isnt too far away. Im planning on mending clothes today. Timothy has quite a few
work pants that have holes or
missing buttons.
We have 31 acres, some
wooded and some tillable.
Theres a creek that runs along
the north side of our property. At times when everything
is quiet, I can hear the water
ripple from the house. Tim
hasnt got the entire fence up
yet, but has enough up for
our four horses. We also have
seven ducks but they arent as
tame as my siblings (Lovina,
11, and Kevin, 10), two ducks,
Donald and Daisy.
Tomorrow Mom and my
sisters are going to spend the
day here helping me give my
house a thorough cleaning.
I never gave the windows,
walls, etc. a good scrubbing
yet. Ill be glad for the help.
Our two house dogs, Izzy and
Crystal, will be excited for the
company. They dont get the
attention that they did when I
lived at home.
The other day I got curious as to how much our

Commissioners Journal
Commissioners Journal October 5,
2015
This 5th day of October, 2015, the
Board of County Commissioners met
in regular session with the following
members present: Roy Klopfenstein,
Tony Zartman, Mark Holtsberry, and
Nola Ginter, Clerk.
MEETING NOTES OF APPOINTMENTS
Ed Bohn, EMA, reminded the commissioners he will be attending derailment training this week. He noted that
CSX is sponsoring the training and the
only expense he will incur is travel.
Bohn commented Anita Stechschulte has moved on to her new position with the state EMA. He noted
he appreciated her clerical assistance.
LEPC funds may be used for office
expenses, reimbursing at 50%.
Bohn announced the HazMat
manual has been completed. He
noted a HazMat training exercise will
be scheduled soon.
County Auditor Claudia Fickel
met briefly with the commissioners
to let them know the appraiser has an
assistant with her for a week.
Amy Hoffman, Palmer Energy
Company, introduced Melissa
Webne, energy analyst. The purpose
of their appointment was to announce
the start of a new solar savings initiative. Palmer Energy has partnered
with the County Commissioners As-
sociation of Ohio Service Corporations (CCAOSC) Energy Committee

to study solar energy in an attempt to
determine if it can help counties save
on electric bills.
Palmer explained that while
CCAOSC has, in the past, discouraged counties from entering into solar
agreements, several factors have since
changed in the market, including declining installation costs, improved
technology, and the rising cost of electricity. As a result of these changes,
solar costs have been steadily decreasing, making solar more affordable
than it was several years ago.
Webne noted the biggest challenge
is having a county facility that would
meet the acreage requirements. Government legislation, incentives such
as tax credits, Renewable Portfolio
Standards (RPS), EPA standards/
Carbon restriction, etc., all play a
large role in the continued push and
success of solar power. She noted
there is currently a 30% Investment
Tax Credit (ITC), set to expire to
10% after Dec. 31, 2016.
The commissioners agreed there
is not a down side to learning more
about the program. Webne will review
the county facilities and report back to
the commissioners at a later date.
Marsha Yeutter, Senior Center,

Road at the VanCrest facility in

Payne was a success. The second activity is scheduled for Oct. 23 at the
Twin Oaks UM Church in Oakwood.
Yeutter noted donations for the Senior
Center on the Road program have
been generous, allowing participation
at no charge.
She also noted she is actively promoting the senior center levy to be
on the ballot in November. Yeutter
reported their audit will be on Oct. 13.
She noted they provided 455 units of
transportation last month and they average 185 meals per day. She is hopeful the levy will pass so the senior center will be able to provide services to
Paulding Countys senior population.
Becky Suvar, WMEA, met with
the commissioners to update them
on the status of various recycling
locations. She has been diligently
contacting various non-profit organizations who will man the recycling
pick-ups on Saturday mornings.
Suvar then discussed her budget,
noting it needs to be to the Solid
Waste District by this Friday.

War, sacrifice and

Americas veterans
By Dale Barnett
National Commander, American Legion
While we can all rejoice this Veterans Day that the steady
flow of U.S. casualties in Iraq and Afghanistan has slowed to a
trickle, we must never forget the incredible sacrifice that Americas defenders continue to make on our behalf.
Such is the case of Master Sergeant Joshua Wheeler, who died
leading a Delta Force rescue mission of ISIS hostages held
in Iraq on Oct. 22. A veteran of 14 combat deployments, his
sacrifice is shared by four boys who are now fatherless and
his wife, who became a widow far too early. But another important part of his legacy are the 70 hostages who were spared
brutal executions by an enemy that is as ruthless as any that
America has faced.
The willingness to face pain and death so others can be
spared isnt unique to just the fallen. Consider the case of
two American veterans and their longtime friend when they
bravely stopped a terrorist attack aboard a train bound for
Paris this summer.
Airman First Class Spencer Stone, Army Specialist Alek
Skarlatos and Anthony Salder could have run from the danger
when a heavily armed gunman boarded the train.
Instead, Specialist Skarlatos said, Lets go, as the men ran
toward a future that could have easily meant instant death or
maiming for them and all of the other innocent people within
range.
Fortunately, this story is remembered not for the horrific
tragedy that nearly happened but for the heroism that did.
Even after enduring serious stab wounds that were inflicted as
he disarmed the gunman, Airman Stone administered life-saving first aid to a passenger that was shot.
The terrorist was carrying 270 rounds of ammunition. But
because of the actions of these three young Americans, and
two Europeans who assisted them, the death toll aboard the
train was zero.
There is also the incredible story of Chris Mintz. As others
were understandably fleeing from a mass shooting at Oregons Umpqua Community College on Oct. 1, the 30-year-old
former Army infantryman bravely confronted the gunman at
a classroom door, as he attempted to save others who were
inside. Mr. Mintz survived the attack and continues to recover
after being shot five times.
These stories are inspiring, but certainly not surprising to
me. As national commander of The American Legion, I meet
veterans all of the time who have demonstrated tremendous
heroism yet blend in our communities without fanfare.
There are many ways to thank the men and women who
have served in our Armed Forces, but I cannot think of a better method of showing gratitude than to hire one. Employers
who make this smart decision will usually benefit from the
discipline, skills and loyalty that are found abundantly in todays military.
Isnt it likely that people who have survived firefights in Afghanistan can handle whatever tasks are thrown their way at
the office without too much stress?
My old classmate, C. Hughes Clark, summed up the humble nature of most veterans. I can say without regret that I
wouldnt have done anything different through it all, simply
because it has given me a sense of accomplishment that I
couldnt have accomplished any other way.

State audit confirms PC

probation department theft
COLUMBUS The former
director of probation services
for the Paulding County Court
Probation Department illegally
collected $10,000 in cash from
probationers, created fake receipts and never deposited the
money with the county, according to an audit released today
by Auditor of State Dave Yost.
Emily Munger, 46, of Payne,
was indicted by a county grand
jury in September on charges
of theft in office and tampering
with records.
Cash transactions and fake
receipts this whole thing
is shadier than the Amazon
forest, Auditor Yost said.
Thanks to the watchful eye
of Judge [Suzanne] Rister and
our partnership with local law
enforcement, this scheme was
brought to light.
The Paulding County Court
Probation Departments policy states that employees are
prohibited from accepting any
payments from probationers.
Instead, probationers are instructed to make payments for
fines, costs, restitution or probation fees directly with the
Paulding County Court.
However, auditors determined that as director of probation services, Munger collected cash payments for fees
from probationers and did not
deposit the funds with the clerk
of courts. Consequently, these
payments were not credited to

the probationers accounts.

During the audit period Jan.
1, 2014 through Dec. 31, 2014,
auditors said Munger collected
a total of $10,040 in cash that
she did not pay to the clerk of
courts. A finding for recovery
in the amount of $10,040 was
issued against Munger.
In July 2015, Munger was
terminated from employment
for violations of the Paulding
County Court Probation Departments personnel policies
and procedures.
An Auditor of State partnership with Paulding County law
enforcement led to Mungers
indictment in September. She
was indicted on one third-degree felony charge of theft in
office and one third-degree felony charge of tampering with
records. Currently, a jury trial
is scheduled to start Jan. 26
in Paulding County Common
Pleas Court.

Strong El Nio could signal

change in weather pattern
By JIM LANGHAM
Feature Writer
After several snowy, strong winters, the
presence of one of the strongest El Nios in
many years in the Pacific Ocean could signal
a major change in the recent winter weather
pattern.
Last Wednesday, the local National Weather
Service office in Syracuse, Ind., issued the projected winter outlook for 2015-2016, based on
the presence of a strong developing El Nio.
This years El Nio, among the strongest
on record, is expected to influence weather and
climate patterns this winter by impacting the
position of the Pacific Jet Stream, commented
Mike Halpert, deputy director, NOAAs Climate Prediction Center.
A strong El Nio is in place and should
exert a strong influence over our weather this
winter, said Halpert. While temperature and
prediction impacts associated with El Nio are
favored, El Nio is not the only player. Coldair outbreaks and snowstorms will likely occur
at times this winter. However, the frequency,
number and intensity of these events cannot be
predicted on a season timetable.
As a result of the general weather pattern
associated with El Nios, Halpert outlined
the following projected weather pattern in the
continental United States:
Precipitation wetter than average conditions are most likely in the southern tier of
the United States from central and southern
California, across Texas to Florida and up the
East Cost to southern New England, drier than
normal across the upper Midwest and Great
Lakes states.
Temperature outlook above-average
temperatures are favored across much of the
West and in the northern half of the contiguous
United States. Temperatures are also favored
to be above average in Alaska and much of
Hawaii. Below-average temperatures are most
likely in the Southern Plains and Southeast.
Weather specialist Rick McCoy concurs
with the general prediction of a drier and
warmer than average winter for the local area,
including both Van Wert and Paulding counties. However, said McCoy, no one thing totally influences local weather, so other factors,

such as the amount of cold air rotating out of

Canada and the direction of jet stream activity,
also come to bear on weather conditions.
I checked my records for snowfall for the
last great El Nio event in 1997-98 and discovered that the first significant snowfall we
had that winter was in March and that was
only two and a half inches, said McCoy.
A few years ago, in a phenomenon know
as a cold El Nio, the winter turned out to
be stronger than usual, continued McCoy.
In that instance, we had what was referred
to as a cold El Nio. Those are said to occur
about 30 percent of the time and they actually
enhance the strength of the winter.
One of the biggest hopes from this winters
potential El Nio weather is an easing of the
severe drought in California and the Southwest.
While it is good news that drought improvement is predicted for California, one season of above-average rain and snow is unlikely
to remove four years of drought, said Halpert.
California would need close to twice its normal rainfall to get out of drought and thats
unlikely.

Hootenannied, groaked
and just plain crapulous
It seems as if every day I
learn or hear a new word. (A
lot of times I just make up my
own). One word I have not
heard used a lot is hootenanny. It is just not a word that
we use on a daily basis in our
vocabulary.
The word hootenanny is a
Scottish word meaning celebration or party. It was noted
thatthe Scots were one of the
biggest groups to settle in the
Appalachianregion of North
America, bringing with them
their whisky-making tradition
and methods, leading to the
areas moonshining. It is not
surprising that the word hootenanny became a southern term.

Hootenanny
was
also
termed as something you hold
in your hand. You could say
hand me that whatchamacallit or thing-a-ma-jig; or,
Hand me thathootenanny.
Whenever I do think of the
word hootenanny, I think of
a loud raucous type of get-together. It is said that in todays
world, it means a musician
type party with an open
mike An open mike is where
anyone can show their stuff by
either playing an instrument
or singing. Now, I do go to an
open mike every week, but I
never ever knew it was called
a hootenanny.
During the early 1960s at
the height of thefolk musicera, a clubinGreenwich
Villagestarted the folk music hootenanny tradition and
holding it every Monday
night. It brought performers
from near and far and featured
open mike.
I did not know this, but there
are online hootenannies going
on since 1999. The longest
A Penny for
Your Thoughts
By
Nancy Whitaker
lasting one is Small Talk at the
Wall. I will have to check that
one out.
In earlier interviews, Pete
Seeger said that he had heard
the word hootenanny to describe their group of musician
fundraisers. In fact, the club
took a vote and hootenanny
beat out the word wing ding.
I believe I have probably
been going to hootenannies
all my life and did not know
that was what they were. I am
sure there are a lot of words
and terms around that I never
knew, but I am going to list
some very unusual words that
we no longer use, just to see if
you ever heard them.
One interesting word is
hugger-mugger. Do you know
what hugger-mugger means?
The word originated way back
in the 1500s and meant to act
in a secret manner. I am sure
I will be using this word daily by saying, Im sick of all
these sneaky types, creeping
around and hugger-muggering
the whole time.
The next word is groak.
This word is almost like croak
but is groak. It means to silent-
ly watch someone eat, hoping

they ask you to join them. It is
probably hard to eat and enjoy
your meal when someone is
groaking you.
We are all guilty of this
next term. It is crapulous. The
term comes from a Latin word
meaning how you may feel after a night of excessive drinking or eating. This word I like,
because it is easy to remember
and if I eat too much chocolate
that is exactly how I feel, crapulous.
Have you ever twaddled?
This word means to stop idle
talking and get back to work.
I am sure I do, except I never
knew it was called twaddling.
The next word, cockalorum,
describes maybe someone we
all know. It describes a little
man who incorrectly has a big
opinion of himself. If used in
a sentence you would say, He
gave her such a tough time.
What a cockalorum!
If you have ever commented on someones weight, you
may have heard of the term
jollux. This is a slang word for
being overweight. This was a
word used in the 1800s and
you would say, I must go on a
diet, I am getting to be slightly
jollux.
I love reading, seeing and
hearing new words. I mean,
you never know when I
will go to a hootenanny, be
groaked, hugger-muggered,
feel crapulous, or be called a
cockalorum or a jollux.
Are any of these old words
in your vocabulary? Have you
ever heard them or used them?
Well, the next time I see you,
if you have used one of these
terms, I will give you a Penny
for Your Thoughts.
Commissioners Journal October 7,
2015
This 7th day of October, 2015, the
Board of County Commissioners met
in regular session with the following
members present: Roy Klopfenstein,
Tony Zartman, Mark Holtsberry, and
Nola Ginter, Clerk.
EXECUTIVE SESSION
A motion was made by Zartman to
go into executive session at 8:04 a.m.
with the Paulding County Prosecutor
to discuss legal matters.
At 8:36 a.m. all members present
agreed to adjourn the executive session
and go into regular session.
Randy Ruge and Kyle Mawer, Paulding County Hospital; Larry Colley and
Dave Phillips, Paulding County Ag/Fair
Board - Ruge presented a Memorandum
of Understanding (MOU) between the
Paulding County Commissioners and
the Paulding County Hospital for emergency relocation of hospital operations
in the event the hospital is rendered uninhabitable.
The hospitals suggestion is to utilize
the fairgrounds and its facilities, particularly the Ohio State Extension building.
The commissioners noted they lease
the fairgrounds to the Paulding County
Agricultural Society/Fair Board. Therefore, any sub-lease agreement would
need to be between the agricultural society/fair board and the hospital.
Several areas of concern are: availability of back-up power, proximity to
the hospital, adequate square footage,
immediate availability of facility, etc.
Colley was most concerned with
the possibility of emergency use of the
fairgrounds during the fair or Flat Rock
Creek Fall Festival when the grounds
would be occupied. He was concerned
about evacuation efforts in a timely matter.
The commissioners suggested several other possible relocation sites for
the hospital to consider.

Ruge noted they have an emergency
drill scheduled in January with a portable hospital unit from Toledo. He then
discussed strategic planning efforts with
county EMA and EMS squads.
All agreed that an open line of communication with both entities is crucial
for the well-being and life support of
county residents.
Clerk of Courts Ann Pease met
briefly with the commissioners to discuss options for replacing the flooring
in the Title Office.
Lynn Mansfield announced a rifle
raffle, with proceeds going to the Paulding County Dog Kennel. She noted the
drawing will be held on Jan. 22.
County Engineer Travis McGarvey
reviewed the no trespassing signs to
be posted at the county property north of
U.S. 24. The Engineers Office will be
making and installing the signs for the
commissioners.
McGarvey reported he received salt
money from the state. He also noted
the lay-over work on County Road 144
is going well. McGarvey said the improvements to the Rosedale Road Ditch
is almost completed; and, he added, the
work looks good.
Brenda Crawford and Stan Harmon,
election board - Crawford reported the
ADA compliant work at the OSU building has been completed.
She then brought the commissioners up to speed on the Election Polling
Books (EPB). KnowINK (a certified
provider) has given their quote of
$1,300 per book.
Crawford presented an MOU between the Ohio Department of Administrative Services, the Paulding County
Board of Elections, and the Paulding
County Commissioners in accordance
with Section 207.63 of Amended Substitute House Bill 64, stating: The
Board shall enter into a memorandum
of understanding with the county commissioners and the Department of Ad-
ministrative Services concerning (the

purchase of the selected electronic pollbooks and any other necessary equipment) and is responsible for 15 percent
of the purchase costs of those pollbooks
as determined by the Department of
Administrative Services and Secretary
of State under this section.
Crawford presented a grand total
(includes 20 pollbooks and any other
necessary equipment essential for the
implementation, fully functional operation and legal use of the electronic pollbooks. The DAS will provide the county
with funding to reimburse 85% of the
total purchase cost for the pollbooks and
any other necessary equipment up to the
amount of the boards allocation.
Paulding Countys allocation is
$20,085.74. With total costs being
$31,900, the county will be responsible for $11,814.26. Crawford hopes to
have the EPBs ready for use for the
spring election. Training for the EPBs
is scheduled for Oct. 16.

Bury my heart with the sacred tree

I looked at the old home
place in disbelief earlier this

week as I took my weekly
pilgrimage past the ground
our family once stood on and
worked on as I was growing
up as a child.
A lot has changed over the
years and the place doesnt
even begin to look the way it
did when my mother and her
siblings, my grandmother
and the way things were
during my childhood there.
However, there was still
one branch that I would hold
on to, photograph and even
daydream over if I happened
to be walking by. It was an
old sour cherry tree, a tree
that had sacred meaning because it happened to be the
old home run fence when my
buddy, Mert, and the neighborhood gang would play
baseball and whiffle ball in
the back yard.
Vaguely I remember the
first time in my life when I
hit a home run over that tree.
It sailed through the top two
limbs and into the neighbors
yard. As years progressed,
the tree became a hiding
place for playing hide and
seek and fort.
When I was in grade
school, that tree represented
my first business. I would
pick cherries by the gallon, sell them to people at
the furniture factory where
my father worked and then
used the money for spending
money during summer vacations or church camp.
Ill never forget the day
when the old home place
was demolished. What a sad
and pensive day that was and
that tree was one of the spots
I visited on that occasion.
Thank goodness, this past
HOMESPUN
By
JIM LANGHAM
spring, I visited the sacred
tree and took pictures one
more time. For a moment,
I was tempted to climb the
limbs and pretend I was in
a fort protecting our family
place. That day, the flowers
were coming out for the fruit

and the smell almost mystically re-opened a chapter of
my life that I thought was
long gone.
Still, there was a sense of
grief that melted my heart and
established a forever sacredness on this special occasion.
It was a little like the final
chapter in the book Bury My
Heart at Wounded Knee that
was written years ago about
the uprising in Wounded
Knee, S.D. And the saddest
part of that day was the destruction of the sacred tree,
the very heart and soul of the
Native American nation.
It represents somewhat
how I felt today when I drove
by the old home place and
saw that the sacred tree
was gone.
Commissioners Journal October 14, 2015

This 14th day of October, 2015, the Board of County Commissioners met in regular session with the following members
present: Roy Klopfenstein, Tony Zartman, Mark Holtsberry, and
Cindy Peters, Clerk.
Damien Morales and Linda Hodges, Paulding County Park
District Board members, recently met with the commissioners to
update them on the goals and desires of the park district within
Paulding County.
Morales discussed the main goal is to build a pipeline. They
had met with Senator Cliff Hite last week. The park board is
working with Senator Hites office to grow the district. They
are excitedly looking at developing New Rochester Park and are
working on a 50-year lease to be able to develop the property for
people to enjoy.
Morales is also working on being able to direct traffic to the
beauty that Paulding County offers, with the scenic view of the
Maumee River and utilizing our countys natural resources.
They would like to work with ODOT utilizing their equipment,
maintaining the existing parking lot, and the ODNR to build boat
docks Hodges would like to see scenic byway signs put along
the old U.S. 24 highway since it is now a county road. The park
district is trying to brand Paulding County in a positive way.
Aaron Timm, County Garage, met briefly with the commissioners to discuss possible storage locations for generators currently stored at the county garage.
Phil Maag, Metalink CEO/president, met briefly with the
commissioners to help resolve any issues with the new phone
system within the county.

from last year.

-Antwerp State XC qualifier
Being a humble young man; having

opposing coaches admire Sam and
athletes who look up to him is what
makes him a true champion and I
hope people will remember that, as
well as his statistics.
Erik has spent his career in Sams shadow, which

has never bothered him. For him to qualify for

Direct student services a high priority at Western Buckeye

PAULDING The Western Buckeye ESC Governing
Board held its regular monthly
board meeting on Oct. 24 at
their Paulding office.
Treasurer Kim Jones reviewed the current financial
reports, investments and the
monthly expenditures with the
board.
Superintendent Brian Gerber updated the board on the
current status of the ESC.
He shared a report with the
board of education regarding
that Ohio rural ESCs provide
a higher percentage of direct
student services than their suburban or urban counterparts.
Western Buckeye ESC is a
top 10 ESCs member in the
state of Ohio that provide the
highest percentage of direct
student services. Other area
ESCs joining Western Buckeye as a top 10 member include Putnam County ESC
and Hancock County ESC.
The other rural top ESCs in
the state are Tri-County ESC,
Pickaway County ESC, ESC
of Lake Erie West, South
Central Ohio ESC, Licking
County ESC and Columbiana
County ESC.
Quite honestly, we offer
services to our partner schools
that many people dont see or
dont understand. We operate
behind the scenes to provide
educational services to our
partner schools. We have reduced the cost to our partner
schools through a shared services delivery model. Shared
service delivery includes sharing speech, occupational, and
physical therapists, said Gerber.
He went on to say, We also
share school psychologists,
gifted education personnel,
and grant writing personnel.
ESCs also provide curriculum
directors and special education
directors to meet the needs of
our partner schools. The overall goal of an ESC is to positively impact student achievement, said Gerber.
Other Western Buckeye
ESC instructional services
include paraprofessional support, preschool special education support, 21st Century
after-school programs, and
Alternative Schools. The alternative school tailors curric-
ulum around the emotionally

disabled students to meet their
specific learning needs. It also
has an opportunity school that
serves those students who need
to recover credits in order to
meet graduation requirements.
The administration and staff
at the Alternative/Opportunity
School work together with
other partner schools to support and develop a standard
based curriculum that will
allow their students to succeed
and graduate. This is directly
related to the economic vitality of our community and
state. These students range
from the most gifted to the
most at-risk, including special
needs students and other atrisk populations such as dropouts and adjudicated youth.
We are proud that we can
service the schools of Paulding and Van Wert counties.
We will continue to strive to
be as efficient, effective, and
lean as possible with our services.
Consent items approved by
the WBESC included a motion
to:
extend a limited contract,
Dec. 1, 2015 to June 30, 2017

to Anita King as payroll clerk/
fiscal assistant, with a salary
set by the board.
approve the job description for payroll clerk/fiscal as-
sistant.
approve a resolution to
retain certain legal service
of Scott Scriven LLP in connection with matters relating
to education law and workers
compensation.
The next regular governing board meeting will be on
Wednesday Nov. 18 starting
at 6 p.m. at the Van Wert ESC
office.
VETERANS DAY Veterans Day is today, Nov. 11. Thank a veteran for his or her service to our
country. Reader Matt Strayer shared with the Progress his photo of signs in front of a home on
North Walnut Street in Paulding.

Adding fall color to your view

Many of us are still planting
bulbs in the hopes of creating a
wondrously cheery garden full
of daffodils, tulips, crocus, and
other spring bloomers. As long
as the ground isnt frozen, you
can still tuck them in here and
there.
The best time to decide what
you need to plant in the fall is
in the spring. Thats when you
notice the bare spots that could
use a dash of color. If you wait
until now to decide, its a little bit harder to visualize, not
to mention that we can forget
where some of the bulbs we already have are planted. Ive felt
the anguish of chopping many
a bulb in two because I didnt
remember they were there.
So by the same token, fall
is the time of year to take note
of where some autumn color
would improve the landscape.
And fall is a good time to plant
too, as most plants, trees, and
shrubs are going dormant.
Win/Win!
When we think of colorful
fall foliage, maple trees come

vibrant hues into our surroundings. In my own garden, these
are my favorites:

Open burning
precautions given
for fall in Ohio
COLUMBUS The Ohio
Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) and the Ohio
Department of Commerce
Division of State Fire Marshal are urging Ohioans to be
aware of the states outdoor
burning regulations and to
take necessary precautions to
avoid unwanted fires this fall.
Ohio law states that burning debris outdoors in unincorporated areas is prohibited
from 6 a.m.-6 p.m. during the
months of October and November. Burning is limited in
the fall due to the abundance
of dry fuel on the ground, for
example grass, weeds, crops
and fallen leaves. In addition,
winds can make a seemingly
safe fire burn more intensely
and out of control. Incorporated areas typically have more
stringent rules. It is a good
idea to contact your local fire
department prior to any open
burning.
in love with this perennial

the moment I saw it - the foliage shape, its little clusters
of blooms in spring, and then
when fall comes, the outer
edges of the glossy foliage turn
a deep shade of crimson, hence
the name.
Maidenhair tree (Ginkgo
biloba) - This is an interesting
tree across several seasons. It
has uniquely shaped foliage
that becomes bright yellow in
fall. Even after the leaves fall,
a yellow carpet remains below,
making a temporary colorful
ground cover.
Sumac (Rhus spp.) - Oh,
the orange! The fall foliage
on sumacs almost looks like it
would glow in the dark. Its especially stunning when grown
as a hedge. Once the leaves
fall, its deep burgundy fruiting
heads remain most of the winter.
Astilbe x arendsii Color
Flash - As if this astilbes
summer foliage color of green,
burgundy, and purple wasnt
enough, in fall it ramps it up a
bit, turning yellow, orange, and
deep russet. Oh, it blooms in
midsummer too, but its foliage is
its crowning glory.
Arkansas Bluestar (Amsonia hubrichtii) - When it was
named Perennial of the Year in
2011, gardeners who had already
discovered its beauty shook their
collective heads in agreement.
It has light true blue flowers in
spring at the end of 3-foot tall
spires of threadleaf foliage that is
bright green in spring and summer, which then turns golden
yellow in fall. Even a few plants
grouped together will stop you in
your tracks.
Little Bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium) - This grass is
native to our area and if you keep
your eyes open in the fall, youll
see it growing at woods edges
and along roadsides. It isnt an
obvious fall beauty in those locations, but grown in the garden
where it can be appreciated up
close, youll be amazed at the
Arkansas Bluestar (Amsonia hubrichtii) is a native plant, first discovered in 1942, in the Ouachita mountains in central Arkansas. It grows well throughout the Midwest.
kaleidoscope of colors it turns
in fall. As a native, it grows well
here, making it very versatile.
Hostas - Some hostas get
ugly and crispy when fall arrives,
but some of the thicker-leaved
varieties will turn a glowing
shade of yellow. June is one
that excels.
Virginia creeper (Parthenosisus Red Wall) - This vine
can cover a trellis in no time and
turns candy apple red in fall. I

love it because it grows best in
full to part shade, where it can be
challenging to have bright color.
Geranium sanguineum We arent talking about the annual geraniums here. (Those are
really pelargoniums.) The foliage of the perennial geranium
known as bloody cranesbill turns
a beautiful ruby color.

is a spring where every leaf is a

flower. Take a look around as
you enjoy autumns flowers
and consider putting more of
them in your own garden.

Sisson named new Defiance A holiday to thank our veterans

Area Youth For Christ director
By JIM LANGHAM
Feature Writer
Recently, Brad Sisson accepted the position as Defiance
Area Youth For Christ director,
replacing Rick Jones, who had
served in that position for many
years.
I originally had no intentions
of going this route, said Sisson.
I love YFC; it was last winter
one day when I was plowing
snow at church that I felt this
call come to me. I was sitting on
the tractor and God told me to
leave it all up to Him.
I called my wife and told
her that God might be calling
me into full-time ministry,
continued Sisson. She said,
We were waiting until you
figured that out for yourself.
Sisson, who spent his early
years in Minneapolis, grew up
around Woodburn after his father transferred to Fort Wayne
for business purposes. Following graduation from Woodlan
High School in 1980, he married JoEllen Wannemacher,
moved to Florida and got involved in church planting there.
We made a two-year commitment at the time. We volunteered at a school called
Countryside High School at
Clearwater near Palm Harbor.
Eventually, we came back to
Fort Wayne, said Sisson.
The Sissons were hired by
Fort Wayne Area YFC in August of 1983 and served in that
capacity for three years. Finally, they came back to Payne
and worked in the sporting
goods industry. For the past
22 years, he worked at Clounie
Landscaping Inc., in Huntington, Ind.
In 1992, he started getting
involved in various YFC activities on a voluntary basis. He
got involved with Minnesota
Boundary Water Trips. They
were blessed with meals and
various needs. Four years ago
he and his wife started serving
on the board of directors. Then
he was elected board chairman.
Sisson continued in that role
until this past April when he
was interviewed for the executive job.
I went through the complete
interview process, said Sisson.
Jim Langham/Paulding County Progress
Payne area resident Brad Sisson began duties as the areas

new Youth For Christ director on Sept. 28.
I didnt really have any attraction to be executive director.
However, in response to
what Sisson felt was Gods
call on his life, he accepted the
call for the Youth For Christ
director and started working in
his position Sept. 28.
Jo and I have always believed that God calls us to invest our time, talent and treasure, said Sisson. The last
few years it has been treasure
and talent more than time.
There are ways in which God
calls every believer to all three.

Veterans Day is a public holiday that is dedicated to honoring
anyone who has served in the
United States military. The holiday began as a day to remember
the end of World War I and was
declared a holiday by President
Woodrow Wilson in 1919. It was
originally known as Armistice
Day.
While many communities observe the day with ceremonies
and parades, some officials say
the best way Americans can say
thank you to our vets for their
sacrifices is to hire a veteran, join
a group that makes care packages and volunteer at a Volunteer
Income Tax Assistance (VITA)
site. They offer no-cost tax advice
and preparation to vets filing tax
returns.
The following essay was sent
to me about 15 years ago by a
subscriber. The message is appropriate for both Veterans Day and
Flag Day. It reads:
A protest raged on a courthouse lawn, round a makeshift
stage they charged on. Fifteen
hundred or more they say, had
come to burn the flag that day.
A boy held up the folded flag,
People
Make the Difference
By
Byron McNutt
cursed it and called it a dirty rag.
A man pushed through the angry
crowd, with an old gun shouldered proud.
His uniform jacket was old and
tight, he had polished each button, shiny and bright. He crossed
the stage with military grace, until he and the boy stood face to
face.
Then the old man broke the
silence. Freedom of speech is
worth dying for, good men and
women are gone, they live no
more. All so you can stand on
this courthouse lawn, and ramble on from dusk to dawn.

But before the flag gets
burned today, this old veteran is
going to have his say.
My father died on a foreign
shore, in a war they said would
end all wars. Tommy and I
werent even full grown, before
we fought in a war of our own.
Tommy died on Iwo Jimas
beach, in the shadow of a hill he
couldnt reach.
Where five good men raised
this flag so high, that the whole
world could see it fly. I got this
bum leg that I still drag, fighting
for this same old flag.
Theres but one shot in this
old gun, so now its time to
decide which one. Which one
of you will follow our lead, to
stand and die for what you believe?
The boy who had called it a
dirty rag, handed the veteran the
folded flag. The crowd got quiet as they walked away, to talk
about what they heard that day.
So the battle for the flag this
day was won, by a loyal veteran
with a single gun. Who for one
last time had to show to some,
that these colors will never, never run.
Having been board chairman, I understood the scope of

things. I was aware of what was
going on in the ministry from
an administrative perspective,
Sisson said.
Sisson feels that God has
given him vision as to where
the ministry can go, especially
in relation to area schools that
have no ministry.
Our main purpose is to establish an office in Defiance, said
Sisson. We have a vision to
see the ministry grow and establish and re-establish itself.

During the start of the Division III state cross country meet last Saturday, several runners stay
bunched together as they make their way around the course. Leading the pack at this juncture is
Antwerps Sam Williamson. The Archer senior finished second to complete his high school career
