Some post offices to reduce hours

do not use the postal service as often as
they used to.
The US Postal Service maintains a
retail network of more than 31,000
post offices and is the only delivery
system that reaches every address in
the nation which is 151 million resi-
dences, businesses and post office
boxes.
Postmaster General and CEO,
Patrick Donahoe said, Meeting the
needs of postal customers is and al-
ways will be a top priority. We contin-
ue to balance that by better aligning
service options with customer de-
mands. We have listened to our cus-

heard them loud and clear. They want

As the U.S. Postal Service continues
to struggle with staggering financial
woes, it is implementing new strate-
gies to help keep the nations smallest
post offices open for business. Four
local post offices are having their hours
reduced, as early as this Saturday.
In May 2012, plans were announced
which will hopefully achieve signifi-
cant cost savings to get the organiza-
tion back to financial stability.
Following meetings and research, it
was disclosed that the following post
offices in Paulding County will be af-
fected by the cost savings cuts: Grover
Hill, Haviland, Melrose and Cecil.
They will have modified retail hours to
match customer use.
The hours for these locations will
be:
Grover Hill Post Office, 7:45-9:45
a.m. and will reopen from 1:45-3:45
p.m. Monday-Friday. Saturday hours
for Grover Hill will be from 7-11:30
a.m. These hours are effective on April
20.
Cecil Post Office will be open
weekdays from 7:45-9:45 a.m. and
will reopen from 2:15-4:15 p.m.
Saturday hours for the Cecil Post
Office will be from 8-11:15 a.m.
Cecils hours will begin on April 20.
Haviland Post Office will be open
from 12:15-4:15 p.m. Monday-Friday
and from 8 a.m.-noon on Saturday. The
shortened hours for Haviland will be
effective May 18.
Melrose Post Offices hours of op-
eration will be from 12:15-4:15 p.m.
Monday-Friday and from 8-11:15 a.m.
on Saturdays. May 18 is the effective
date for the new hours.
Post offices currently remaining
open with no changes include
Antwerp, Latty, Oakwood, Paulding,
Payne and Scott.
In May 2012, the US Postal Service
announced it would be modifying retail
window hours in some locations. At
that time, Latty and Scott also were list-
ed as under consideration for reducing
daily window hours, Latty from eight
hours to two, and Scott from eight
hours to four.
The postal system has been suffering
from financial difficulties for a number
of years. With online bill pay, online

HAVILAND More than
100 people turned out Tuesday
evening, April 9 at Wayne
Trace High School to find out
about a proposed new wind
farm in Blue Creek and Latty
townships of Paulding County.
The wind farm is being de-
veloped by Northwest Ohio
Wind Energy and is slated to
see construction begin by the
end of December.
The project is a 250
megawatt project. Were work-
ing on Phase I right now which
is 100 megawatts, explained
Joe Jennings, direction of com-
munications of parent compa-
ny National Wind, which is
owned by Trishe Group
Company in London, England.
Were trying to get con-
struction started this year.
Were working with the Ohio
Power Siting Board who re-
quire us to have this meeting.
The number of turbines is
not yet clear for this first phase
since the company has not
made a final decision on the
turbines it would use in this
project. If Northwest Wind
would decide on a 2.0 MW
(megawatt) turbine model, that
would mean 50 turbines would
be a part of the first phase.
No new transmission lines
would need to be installed to
handle the power generated by
the proposed project.
Jennings said, AEP has a
138 KV line going right
through the project, so it will
not require any new overhead
lines. Were working actively
for what is called an off-taker,
which is somebody to buy the
electricity on a contract. Thats
become very challenging.
Weve been responding to mul-
tiple Request For Proposals.
Were talking very actively
with one of the firms that we
sent an RFP to, so were hope-
ful that will come through, but
we are continuing to send out
others.

Commissioners, sheriff undergo serious study of county jail situation
By JIM LANGHAM
Feature writer
Paulding County commissioners
and the sheriffs office are currently
collaborating in a major study con-
cerning the current jail situation and
potential options for the future.
The discussion concerns where
county officials have come from on
the jail issue and its implications,
changing circumstances that warrant
the study and potential options for the
future of the county jail.
I dont think that many people in
the county still realize that they are
currently paying for the jail, said
Paulding County Commissioner Fred
Pieper. Taxes for the jail were origi-
nally established on a bond issue that
will still be in operation for many
years.
County residents originally gave a
thumbs up to an operating levy for a
county jail in 2002. Then, in 2005, a
building levy passed. However, mis-
understanding of fund usage ensued,
said Sheriff Jason Landers, and a se-
ries of levy attempts for renewal
failed, forcing then sheriff, David
Harrow, to close the facility in
November of 2008. Since then,
Paulding County prisoners have been
out-housed.
When the citizens of the county de-
cided to build their own independent
jail as versus sending prisoners to
Putnam County, they had to have
funds to operate the facility, said
Landers. In 2002, they presented an
operating levy which was passed. The
next step was to pass a construction
levy.
With that passage, Sheriff Harrow
and county commissioners at the time
began visiting other facilities as part
of a serious study as to what would
work best in the county. During that
time as well, construction began and
the sheriff began the complicated task
of hiring and training staff members
for the new facility.
In the latter part of the fall of 2006,
those monies in Fund 149 (operating
fund) started to be used for the hiring
and training process for the additional
correction personnel it would take to
operate the jail facility based on the
number of correction officers mandat-
ed by the Board of Adult Detention
(BAD), a state agency that controlled
detention facilities at the time.
There was a lot of money spent in
paying wages, equipment and training
and purchases necessary to hire outfit-
ted corrections personnel, continued
Landers. Then we had to send those
personnel to Van Wert and Putnam
counties for on-the-job training.
In June of 2007, the new jail
opened. At that time there was
$708,000 in the operating fund, the
sheriff said. The original jail levy,
which was initially passed was a five-
year-levy and was ready to expire.
When the jail opened, county offi-
cials were already debating when the
original operating levy could be re-
newed, commented Landers. In the
meantime, people of the county didnt
understand why we had this levy
when the jail just opened. They didnt
understand that we needed to use that
original money for training and
preparing for operation.
Its important to note that we had
to have the required number of trained
personnel to go when the jail opened,
commented Commissioner Roy
Klopfenstein. The early finances in-
volved including paying wages to
those being trained to state standards.
Landers noted that it takes a staff of
at least 10 full-time and several part-
time workers to operate the facility.
County officials placed out three at-
tempts to renew the funding for the fa-
cility and each time they failed. After
the funding was defeated in 2008,
Harrow closed the jail, due to lack of
funding.
People need to know that county
funds cant be misused. Every dime is
accounted for; every penny is audit-
ed, said Landers.
Most of us werent in this office at
the time, added Landers. What we
are learning now is based on recall
and research.
We are beginning a study with the
sheriff concerning the operation of the
jail, said Pieper. We are still going
to pay for that building whether it is
open or closed.
It might look like it is cheaper to
stay closed, but when you consider
such factors as the economic impact
on the county, that might not be the
case, said Landers. We cant accu-
rately tell until we have this dia-
logue.

public informational meeting. The meeting need-
ed to be held before Northwest Wind Energy
could file an application with the Ohio Power
Siting Board (OPSB) for state approval. Jennings
noted that reaction at the meeting was good.
I think this has been informative. I mean there
are people with a lot of different opinions on lots
of different things, but very polite, and very
much a respectful interchange of information.
According to Jennings, the company has been
working with both AEP and regulator PJM to get
transmission and an interconnection to the grid.
They are hoping to get permission for the inter-
connection and transmission by the end of
September.
Most of the other major hurdles have been
cleared. The wind farm has enough land under
lease for the first phase of 100 MW, the compa-
ny is working with the OPSB preparing to file an
application, and transmission approval is expect-
ed later this year. The tough part now will be
finding a buyer for the power to be generated.
That has been a hurdle for both the Timber
Road and Blue Creek wind farms, which are al-
ready operational. If more power can be sold
from those projects, more turbines will probably
be built. For example, Timber Road Wind Farm
already has state approval to build what is known
as Phase I of that project (Phase II is already op-
erational), which would include another 35 tur-
bines along the Paulding County skyline.
Im getting a sense that were really moving
forward and we want to get it under construction
by the end of the year, Jennings commented. I
think theres a lot of support for it among our
people because they want the supplemental in-
come. Thats very important in an agricultural
community, because there are good years and
bad years, but the wind always blows! And
around here, it really blows!

Sheriff Jason Landers said
locally there has been an in-
crease in the meth culture dur-
ing the past year. His office has
cleaned up 12 labs. Not all of
these have had criminal defen-

well.
We will refrigerate and mix
daily for three days or so and
Joe will then smoke it in our
smoker. My dad would al-
ways smoke the sausage in a
smokehouse he had built.
Benjamin, Joseph, and
Kevin are hauling out some
manure from the barn.
12:15 We eat a lunch of
sandwiches and vegetable
soup.
12:45 Benjamin, Kevin,
and I leave for town. Kevin
has a therapy appointment.
Benjamin wants to take the
cans into the store that him
and Joseph collected along
the road. The boys collect
cans along the roads because
here in Michigan they are
worth 10 cents apiece. They
have made quite a bit of
money doing that and it helps
keep the roadsides clean.
4 p.m. We arrive home
from town. I put the groceries
away. Benjamin goes out to
help Joe and Joseph fix the
fence so the chickens can be
turned out. They also do the
evening chores.
5 p.m. The 3 girls are home
from their jobs. Susan is out
raking the yard which she en-
joys. Verena and Lovina are
making egg salad. The chil-
dren colored 10 dozen eggs
for Easter so this is a good
5 a.m. The alarm goes off.
I get up, because daughter
Elizabeth will leave for her
job at the factory soon. She
has been working a lot of 10
hour days at the factory.
5:15 a.m. Elizabeths ride
is here and she leaves. The
children are on spring break
and my husband, Joe, is off
work this week. Everyone has
been taking advantage of
their break and sleeping later
than usual. I stay up and read
and enjoy the peace and
quiet. There are not many
quiet moments around here
this week once everyone is
awake.
6:30 a.m. Joe gets up and I
make a pot of coffee for us.
Joe goes down to the base-
ment to add coal to the stove.
I get sausage out of the
freezer to make gravy for
breakfast. Daughter Lovina,
8, wants to mix up two
batches of mystery biscuits so
I help her.
8 a.m. Breakfast is ready
consisting of biscuits,
sausage gravy, fried eggs,
cheese, orange juice and
milk.
8:30 a.m. daughters Susan
and Verena leave for Susans
babysitting job. Since Verena
is off this week she is enjoy-
ing helping Susan with the
children. Loretta and Lovina
wash dishes and sweep the
floors.
Joe and I mix up 100
pounds of hamburger and
sausage to make summer
sausage. We use Dad and
Moms Canadian summer
sausage recipe which calls for
66 pounds of hamburger, 33
pounds of sausage, 5 pounds
of white sugar, 4 pounds of
salt, 1/3 pound of black pep-
per, and two ounces of salt
petre. Since we couldnt find
salt petre, we asked a local
meat market for another cure
to make summer sausage. We
are hoping it will work just as
way to use them up. The dan-
delion greens are not out yet
so we cant make dandelion
green salad with the leftover
eggs.
7:30 p.m. We are finally
ready to have supper. On the
menu are egg salad sand-
wiches and I made rare beef.
Rare beef is steak sliced re-
ally thin and deep fried only
a few seconds on each side. If
you have your oil really hot
and smoking, it will not leave
your meat rare. It is very ten-
der if fixed right. We put salt
and pepper on each side be-
fore we deep fry it.
9:30 p.m. Everyone is
cleaned up and ready to call it
a day. Gods blessings to all.
No matter how many differ-
ent biscuit recipes we try, my
family thinks these are the best.
They are also easy to make and
no rolling out the dough.

NOCAC planning
summer food
program for kids
Dear Editor,
The Northwest Ohio Com-
munity Action Commission
(NOCAC) is rounding up
details for this years sum-
mer food service program.
A meeting regarding this
years program will be held
at 9 a.m. Wednesday April
17 at the Paulding County
Senior Center (thank you
Marsha).
Following is information
from last years program:
the program was held at
the Kiwanis building (thank
you Kiwanis members and
Paulding community!)
117 unduplicated chil-
dren were served 628
healthy lunches (thank you
Senior Center!)
97 volunteers volun-
teered 263 hours to provide
activities for the attending
children (thank you Paulding
Schools students and teach-
ers, senior center, 4-H clubs,
Boy and Girl Scouts, Mark
Holtsberry, police depart-
ment, OSU extension, and
other individual community
members)
The meeting agenda will
include: the details of this
years program; what to
tweak from last years pro-
gram to make it better; mar-
keting strategies; volunteers
and partners and any infor-
mation that will help to build
on the program.
This years ODE MR81
report shows that over 57%
of the children who attend
Paulding Exempted Village
Schools are on free or re-
duced lunches. According to
the report, there are 777 chil-
dren in this district who
qualify.
Maybe we can brainstorm
on how to feed more of these
children.
If you are unable to make
it, but would still like to be a
part of the program, please
contact me at 419-784-2150,
Ext. 1110 or
hkeween@nocac.org or con-
tact Wendy (NOCACs sum-
mer food program
coordinator) at 419-784-
2150, Ext. 1120,
wschueurich@nocac.org.
We look forward to get-
ting the insight of those who
could help enhance the pro-
gram. After all, the pro-
grams focus is on the
children in your backyard.

In My Opinion
Introducing Herb Monroe
Good fortune has given me any number of wonderful tasks
to perform. I have had a very lucky life. A real treat for me
was years ago when I was asked to introduce a speaker at the
senior center. He was about
to make a presentation to an
assembled group of really
good people.
When you present some-
one who is going to speak,
you need the proper balance
of building them up, but not
over promising. I remember
thinking about it, but it came to me quickly, decent respect
but not over done.
Heres how it went, Ladies and gentlemen, its my honor
to present to you the nicest man God ever made, Herb Mon-
roe.
These past few months, thanks to great Paulding people
who earnestly work for the betterment of our community,
Herb is being rightfully honored. The beautiful park that is
named for this wonderful man is uppermost in peoples
minds and will be a great addition to our town.
Its as though Herb is still with us in some ways. You cant
help but see him extend his hand, know your name, your
husbands or wifes name and enough about you to make you
feel completely comfortable. In this way, Herb continues to
be a warm part of any day.
So what do we take from this? None of us is ever going to
be another Herb Monroe. Everyone that knew him misses
him. When we go to his park, maybe we can be a little more
like him. Lets try.
When youre in the park, think about what it would be like
to enjoy people, seemingly all people. What it must be like to
actually remember peoples names. If we would do this we
would smile more often, like Herb did.
Lets honor this park. Be in a good mood when you visit it.
If you should have an unpleasant thought while there, take a
walk and come back when you can smile.

cently. For his 13th birthday,
Owen and his family, Wes and
Tracy Brigner and sister Madi-
lyn, visited the Statehouse in
Columbus. Owen was lucky
enough to meet with State Rep.
Tony Burkley (right) in Tonys
office, and shadow Senator Cliff
Hite for the morning. The Brign-
ers attended the House and the
Senate when they were in ses-
sion, and Owen was announced
as Tonys guest in the House
and Senator Hites guest in the
Senate. Owen was allowed to
tour the governors offices and
get his picture taken in the gov-
ernors chairs in both his cere-
monial office and his working
office. To end the trip, they were
taken to the cupola at the top of
the Rotunda and signed their
names on the wall of the cupola
(above). Owen wrote his name
and the date, plus Ill be back!
Burkley encouraged Owen to
become involved in politics
since he enjoys it so much.
Birthday visit to Statehouse
Ohio Unclaimed Funds list
appears in Progress today
Ohio Department of Commerce Interim Di-
rector Jayme Brown urges Paulding County res-
idents to join in the 2013 Unclaimed Funds
Treasure Hunt by checking the Paulding County
Progress today, April 17.
By checking the newspaper advertisement,
readers can find out if they are entitled to un-
claimed funds turned over to the Ohio Division
of Unclaimed Funds in the past year.
Unclaimed funds are money or the rights to
money that have been dormant or forgotten.
Some common examples include: dormant
checking and savings accounts, forgotten rent
and utility deposits, uncashed checks, undeliv-
ered stock certificates, and uncashed insurance
policies.
There could be money sitting here with your
name on it. Check the Paulding County list to see
if you, your family or your friends have unclaimed
funds, said Jayme Brown, interim director of the
Ohio Department of Commerce. This money can
help Ohioans buy a tank of gas, pay off some bills,
make a needed home repair or take a vacation.
In fiscal year 2012, the division paid 58,953
claims worth approximately $61.1 million. The
average claim was for $1,037.
The Paulding County advertisement will in-
clude 131 unclaimed funds accounts worth
$127,108.90. The advertised accounts, each val-
ued at $50 or more, were turned over to the divi-
sion within the past year for individuals whose last
known address was in Paulding County. The ad-
vertised names will appear in alphabetical order
by the owners last known city and then in alpha-
betical order by the owners last name. A list of
unclaimed funds accounts is available on the De-
partment of Commerces Online Treasure Hunt
website at
www.unclaimedfundstreasurehunt.ohio.gov along
with forms for individuals and organizations to
use in claiming their money.
The total number of Paulding County accounts
is 3,866 and the value is $347,563.05.
Division superintendent Yaw Obeng encour-
ages Ohioans to visit www.unclaimedfundstrea-
surehunt.ohio.gov to see if they have funds
waiting to be claimed.
Individuals without internet access can write to
the Division of Unclaimed Funds and provide the
full name(s) to be researched, along with the
counties in which the person(s) might have
resided.
The divisions address is 77 South High Street,
20th Floor, Columbus, Ohio, 43215. Anyone with
questions about unclaimed funds can call the Di-
vision toll free at 1-877-644-6823 (OHIO UCF).

Free prescription card
distributed by United Way
helps individuals save money
PAULDING United Way of Paulding
County and the FamilyWize Community Service
Partnership have teamed up to make prescrip-
tions more affordable for those without insur-
ance, or even those who have insurance that
doesnt cover their medicine.
FamilyWize cards have provided needed relief
with great success, saving 590 people in our
community more than $73,772 on the cost of
their medicine. However, there are still many
more people whose health is endangered because
their prescriptions are too expensive and they are
not getting the medicines they need.
Surveys in the last two years by the Common-
wealth Fund, a private foundation that supports
independent research on health care issues, notes
particular difficulties for people who lost insur-
ance when they became uninsured:
57% who had health benefits through their
jobs and then lost their jobs became uninsured.
52% of uninsured adults with a chronic con-
dition skipped doses or did not fill a prescription
for their condition because of the cost.
Even people with insurance through their
employer may find that cost keeps them from
taking medicine as prescribed, particularly
those with high deductible plans. According
to an Employee Benefits Research Institute
study;
31% of people who had a deductible of at
least $1,000 skipped a dose or didnt fill a pre-
scription because of cost.
In 2013, wed like to see every person in
our community who is unemployed, unin-
sured, has to buy medicine not covered by
their health plan or government program, or is
unable to get the medicine they need for any
reason, get a FamilyWize card from our
United Way, said Sonya Herber, executive di-
rector of the United Way of Paulding County.
We also encourage them to see what other
services we can refer them to like food
banks and pantries, utility and housing assis-
tance, and more. We know these are still hard
times for many people and were here to
help.
United Way of Paulding County is one of
1,000 local United Ways that have joined the
FamilyWize Community Service Partnership
over the last seven years. FamilyWize was re-
cently named a Preferred Partner by United
Way Worldwide to provide opportunities for
increased awareness and collaborations na-
tionwide.
Our partnership with United Way World-
wide and almost 1,000 local United Ways na-
tionwide gives us a national platform to help
people in every community across the coun-
try, said Dan Barnes, FamilyWize CEO and
Co-founder.
Barnes added that FamilyWize has the ca-
pacity to help many more people and will be
working hard to do so, but the impact nation-
wide already is impressive: 5.2 million people
helped, 5,000 additional people helped each
day, $470 million saved on the cost of med-
ications.
Locally or nationwide, whats most impor-
tant is that most of the time we save people
about $20 per prescription when they use this
card, added Herber. Thats money in their
pocket when hey need it most to pay bills and
other necessities.
Average savings are almost 40% and can be
as high as 75%. FamilyWize cards can be used
at most pharmacies including all chain phar-
macies and groceries nationwide.
Contact United Way of Paulding County at
419-399-8240 for information on how to get
a card, visit www.familywize.org to download
a card or text family to 700700 to get a text
version of the card.

A Penny For
Your Thoughts....
By: Nancy Whitaker
IT IS HERE!
It is amazing how much bet-
ter we feel physically and emo-
tionally when the sun is
shining. After what seemed to
be a long, dreary winter, the ap-
pearance of sunshine has im-
proved our moods, eased our
aches and pains and made us
feel good all over. At least we
know that the elusive sunshine
is paving the way for a nice hot
summer.
In addition to birds chirping,
flowers blooming and the ap-
pearance of those pesky ants, I
look at some more things going
on that lets me know, Spring
is in the air.
I have observed gals and
guys in shorts and flip flops,
heard the crack of baseball bats
coming from an impromptu
kids ball game, heard the roar
of motorcycles as they take to
the highways for a nice spring
ride and watched kids with
tackle boxes heading out to fish
in a local pond. These activities
are sure-fire signs that Spring
has Sprung here in northwest
Ohio.
I smell hickory chips coming
from an outdoor grill, heard the
sizzle of steaks as they danced
with flavor on the hot fire and
I watched as two little girls
played jump rope and saying,
Eeevey Ivey Over.
Of course, I have caught a
glimpse of a gallon jug of sun
tea sitting on a porch, saw
freshly laundered clothes flap-
ping merrily in the wind on a
clothes line and watched as
mothers pushed their babies in
a stroller looking and seeking
the warmth of the sun.
Do you remember when you
were a kid the first time in the
summer you were allowed to
go bare foot or go outside
without a coat or hat? Remem-
ber how tender the bottom of
your feet were when you tried
to walk on some stones?
My mama was always a
stickler for coats and hats, so I
always felt like I was the last of
my little friends to go with just
wearing a sweater or going
without shoes. To me, these,
too, are all signs of spring.
Ice cream stands with their
many flavors have now re-
opened, so we can enjoy the
treats they offer. I watched a lit-
tle boy eating an ice cream
cone last weekend and he was
busily trying to lick the ice
cream from the cone as it was
running down his arm.
Hot dog stands are opening
up and selling their delightful
treats. It seems like spring has
not arrived until I get one of
those delicious coney dogs
and a frosty mug of root beer.
What do I hear? It is the
humming sound of a lawn
mower as someone drives it
around their lawn making
sure it is ready to cut the
green grass which has made
its debut.
Along with the new green
grass comes the foliage we
may refer to as a weed.
People try and spray this
plant, dig them up and a lot of
people refer to them as pests.
I am talking about the lowly
dandelion.
Now, when I was growing
up, my grandma used to don
her sunbonnet and go into the
yard and pick the young dan-
delion leaves and make up a
delicious wilted salad. This is
another way to tell that spring
is here.
Basically, I love all four
seasons and living in a loca-
tion where they can all be ex-
perienced. However, I am
looking forward to some nice
sunny weather and I can tell
it is on the way.
I see spring; smell spring;
hear spring; taste spring and
feel spring. It is here!
How do you tell if it is
spring? Do you smell, taste,
see, hear and embrace the
many signs? Have you had a
coney dog, mowed your yard
or picked and cooked dande-
lions? Let me know and Ill
give you a Penny for Your
Thoughts.
Due to our recent tragedy, we would like to send out our
heartfelt thanks to the following people and/or groups:
Paulding Police Department, Paulding EMS, Paulding Fire Department,
Cecil Fire Department, Antwerp Fire Department, Payne Fire Depart-
ment, The Red Cross, The Snipes Family, The Sanders Family,
The Santos Family (Kenny), Waters Insurance, PolyOne (formerly
Spartech), Boyd Automotive, My Family, and to everyone else who
sent their thoughts and prayers and donated any and everything.
Words cannot describe how much we truly appreciate
what the community has done to this point.
Once again Thank You all so very much.

Everyone is a winner in PCH
Biggest Loser Challenge
PAULDING Since the
first Biggest Loser Challenge
in 2012 was so popular, the
PCH Fitness Center decided
to put out the challenge again
in January 2013.
It began on Jan. 7 with 72
people deciding to try to win
the big money prize. Along
the way a few people dropped
out, but overall, the 55 people
who stayed in the challenge
collectively lost 420 pounds
in the eight weeks of the chal-
lenge.
The big winner this time
was Jim Collis, who lost
13.9% of his body weight.
When asked why he joined
the challenge he stated that he
was getting older and he
heard that the older you get,
the harder it is to lose weight.
He read about the contest and
thought that would be a good
incentive for him to lose.
He lost a total of 31 pounds
in 54 days. He said his diet
habits included portion con-
trol, changing what he ate and
exercising an hour a day. He
did take Sundays off.
He says he feels better,
breathes easier and sleeps
much better. His next goal is
to lose 8 more pounds and
then keep it off.
Coming in second was
Melanie Banks, who works at
the hospital, and lost 10.74%
of her body weight. Placing
third is Ben Ricker, who also
works at the hospital, who
lost 9.06% of his body
Winners of the this years Biggest Loser Challenge at Paulding
County Hospital include Ben Ricker, third place; Melanie Banks,
second place; and Jim Collis, who placed first.
weight.
All together, these three
lost a total of 92 pounds. The
top three took home a total of
$720 in prize money.
Obesity is a huge health
problem in the United States
and Paulding County Hospi-
tal is gearing up to deal with
this health concern.
Along with the fitness cen-
ter and personal trainer,
Naomi Brodbeck, PCH offers
registered dietitian consulta-
tions with Emily Cicero and
Dr. Mahtab Ahmed has re-
cently become certified as an
Obesity Medicine Physician
by the American Board of
Obesity Medicine. For more

QUESTION: Im 19 years
old and living with my par-
ents while I attend college
close to home. Theyre hav-
ing a really hard time in
their marriage. Im trying
to be supportive to both of
them, but they try to put me
in the middle of their argu-
ments. If I dont take a side,
then they are angry with
me. I feel helpless. How can
I help them see how it is af-
fecting me?
JIM: My heart goes out to
you. We often hear of the
wounds a troubled marriage
can inflict on young children,
but your experience shows
that it can happen to adults as
well.
Author Sandi Greene has
written about the pain she ex-
perienced as a result of her
parents divorce. Im not sug-
gesting your own parents are
destined for divorce, but I
think youll find Sandis ad-
vice helpful.
First, she recommends that
you not become isolated. Do
you have close friends
nearby, or classmates, or a
pastor to whom you can talk
about your frustrations?
Dont endure this situation
alone.
Second, dont allow your-
self to believe that the prob-
lems your parents are
experiencing are your fault.
You didnt cause them, and
its not your responsibility to
fix them.
Third, dont be drawn into
taking sides. You cant play
referee, and you cant be ex-
pected to pit one parent
against the other. When they
try to draw you into the
melee, walk away.
Finally, forgive your par-
ents to the extent possible. Its
wrong for them to manipulate
you in this way, but try to un-
derstand that by drawing you
into their arguments, theyre
attempting to deal with their
own pain in an inappropriate
manner.
Finally, talk openly and
honestly with your parents
about the pain this situation
has caused. Urge them, as
lovingly as possible, to seek
counseling. This will help
them work through their is-
sues with an objective third
party, and relieve you of the
burden of trying to be their
mediator.
QUESTION: I just found
out my wife has been hav-
ing an emotional affair over
the Internet. Im devas-
tated. Shes having a hard
time letting this other man
go. I want to place some
boundaries on her external
relationships and gain trust
again. How can we rebuild
our marriage?
DR. GREG SMALLEY,
executive director of mar-
riage and family formation:
Im sorry to hear about this
painful situation. Certainly,
your wife needs to decide
whether shell commit to you
or continue contact with this
other man. But until she
makes that decision, you need
to take care of yourself.
Your real fight is to keep
your heart open to her. And to
do this, you need the support
of close friends, a pastor or a
counselor. You need to talk
about your pain and emo-
tions. These are not gripe
sessions. Talking with trusted
confidants will help you keep
your heart open and think
through your decisions.
Once your own support
network is in place, youll be
prepared to ask your wife a
direct question: Are you or
are you not willing to work
with me to save this mar-
riage? If shes willing, she
has only one choice: to cut off

Winning the Battle for a Generation

Area Youth for Christ
What would you say is the wealth of the
church?
In the middle of the third century there was
a Christian leader named Lawrence who
served as a deacon in the Church of Rome. Ac-
cording to tradition, Lawrence was in charge
not only of holy things, (like the Commun-
ion chalices and candlesticks), but also the
churchs treasury and what we would call its
mercy fund.
In Lawrences day, public opinion had
turned against followers of Christ, and one day
the prefect of the city asked Lawrence to
gather up and give him the wealth of the
church. Lawrence sent back a message: I do
not deny that our church is rich. and that no
one in the world is richer, not even the em-
peror .. I will bring forth all the precious things
that belong to Christ, if only you will give me
a little time to gather everything together. The
prefect agreed, as he dreamed of what he
could do with the money, gold, and silver.
For three days, Lawrence ran about the city,
collecting the churchs treasures. But they
were not the sort of treasures the greedy pre-
fect was dreaming of. Instead Lawrence
walked through all the alleys and squares of
Rome and gathered the churchs real treasure-
the poor, the disabled, the blind, the homeless,
and the lepers. The people he gathered into
the church included a man with two eyeless
sockets, a disabled man with a broken knee, a
one-legged man, a person with one leg shorter
than the other and others with grave infirmi-
ties.
He wrote down their names and lined them
up at the entrance to the church. Only then did
he seek out the prefect to bring him to the
church. These are the treasures of the Church
of Christ! Lawrence declared as he presented
the ragged crowd to the astonished prefect.
Their bodies may not be beautiful, but within
these vessels of clay they bear all the treasures
of divine grace.
Regarding our responsibility to the poor and
especially those from the household of faith we
read in scripture. James 2:15-16 (NKJV) (15) If
a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily
food, (16) and one of you says to them, Depart
in peace, be warmed and filled, but you do not
give them the things which are needed for the
body, what does it profit?

email to: defyfc@embarqmail.com
all contact with the other
man.
As you grapple with the
fallout, make every effort not
to give in to the extremes of
all my fault or all your
fault thinking. Dont insist
on knowing why your wife
has been having an affair. In-
stead, ensure that shes will-
ing to start over.
Most importantly, you and
your wife need to seek out an
experienced counselor. Con-
tact Focus on the Family for
a free consultation with a li-
censed counselor, as well as a
referral to a qualified profes-
sional in your area.

the books in the library, and then took a quiz over the books read. The first four students that completed the quiz correctly were
awarded a prize. Shown in the photos above are, from left second graders Kearstyn Pierce and Ashton Manz with their new
bicycle helmets, Gabbie Stallbaum with her new bicycle light set, and Jordan Mudel with his new reflective mirror. These students

Gerber will retire prior
to STRS pension reform
PAULDING County superintendent Brian
Gerber indicated that he will retire prior to the
State Teacher Retirement System (STRS) pen-
sion reform in 2015, during the April 10 meet-
ing of the Western Buckeye board.
Nick Miller, board president, said, Mr.
Gerber has always been open and forward
with us in communicating that STRS pension
reform will force him to make a decision re-
garding his future. He informed us that he
plans to retire at the end of the 2013-2014
school year.
As a board we are not in the market or in-
terested in searching for a new superintendent.
Mr. Gerber has led us through the last biennial
budget and will continue to lead us through
the new biennial budget. We have been able to
control cost, effectively serve our partner
schools and operate in the black.
A plan was agreed on enabling him to
come back and serve as our superintendent in
a part-time role for the 2014-15 school year.
P. James Grubaugh, a 43-year member of
the board, said, Brian is a fiscal conservative
who has a strong background in curriculum
and is well-networked both at the state and na-
tional level. In this economy, I want an expe-
rienced ultra-financial conservative leading
our organization.
Board member Jerry Zielke said, I was
glad we could work through this process and
create a win-win situation.
Board member Billy Poe II echoed the other
members comments and added, I just want
to do what is best for Western Buckeye.
Superintendent Gerber was appreciative and
humbled by the support he received saying, I
will work part-time as superintendent during
the 2014-2015 school year and we will evalu-
ate this model throughout that year.
The money saved on my salary and bene-
fits will keep us operating in the black. If I feel
like Im not getting the job done, I will fire
myself.
Ron Treece summed it up by saying, Ive
known Brian Gerber for many years, and he
will get the job done whether he works full
time or part time.
In the business portion of the meeting, the
board approved the following items:
a motion to approve the non-renewal of
two part-time paraprofessional positions and
one part-time truancy officer position, effec-
tive at the end of the 2012-13 school year.
a motion to approve contracts, effective at
the beginning of the 2013-14 school year for
Tina Kennedy, three-year limited; two-year
limited for Harry Florence, Sara Linder,
Rachel Powell, Angela Smith, Jamie Fields,
Tracy Hutchinson, Debra Nolte; and two-year
limited part-time for Lucinda Crosby, Sandra
Davis, Tianne Pendergrast, Deanna Wann,
Lori Stefanek.
a motion to approve a 0% base salary
schedule increase for the 2013-14 school year
for all certified and non-certified employees,
on approved salary schedules plus those on the
two-year associate degree salary schedule and
those who do not have a salary schedule place-
ment.
a motion to establish the week of May 6-
10 as Staff Appreciation Week.
motion to approve a depository agreement
with the Antwerp Exchange Bank for the pe-
riod May 15, 2013 through May 14, 2018.
motion to approve scholarships of
$250 to Franklin B. Walter All-Scholastic
Award winners: Paulding County Graden
Gudakunst, Wayne Trace High School and Van
Wert County Claire Dye, Lincolnview Local
School.
motion to open a public meeting on the issue
of the employment of Brian R. Gerber, superin-
tendent, by WBESC during the May 15 meeting
at the Van Wert ESC office.
motion to approve a resolution regarding the
effective implementation of educational change
in the State of Ohio.
The next regular meeting will be at 6 p.m.
Wednesday, May 15 in the Van Wert ESC office.
Paulding resident questions
use of Reservoir Park
By BILL SHERRY
Correspondent
PAULDING Paulding Village Council
met Monday, April 15. Much of the meeting
was devoted to issues relating to parks and
recreation.
Paulding resident Macy Adams requested
that council get involved in the problems with
Reservoir Park scheduling and ball teams.
Councilman Mike Trausch commented that he
had been trying, but there was a lack of inter-
est and help. Adams commented that the lack
of help is more a misunderstanding about how
players and coaches can help.
Trausch commented that there needed to be
more teams involved, the parking lot needs
stone and concessions would be just package
candy due to high cost of getting a license to
sell hot food.
Mayor Greg White commented, I think
that it would not hurt a thing to put an ad in
the papers stating that we would like to hear
from someone who wants to form a league or
help in some other way. Councilman Randy
Daeger commented, This is too nice of a field
not to be used.
Council set up a recreation committee meet-
ing to discuss Reservoir Park and invited
Adams to attend.
The recreation committee met on April 8,
2013 and agreed on the following items:
Rod Johnson from Hoeffel Engineering in-
formed the recreation committee that the five-
year-old plans for a restroom addition to the
concession stand at the Reservoir would need
to be updated to meet current ADA standards.
The committee asked that Rod provide a new
cost estimate with the additional ADA require-
ments.
Pool manager Kelly Gaston informed the
recreation committee that the tentative date for
the pool to open is June 3.
Village administrator Harry Wiebe informed
the committee that the village crew would be
getting some stone to fill in the holes in the drive-
way at Reservoir Park.
Council unanimously approved Wiebes
agenda, which included a water, sewage and re-
fuse assessment for a residence owned by Clara
Sue Warren, and water and sewage assessments
for a property owned by M15SLP (Vision Prop-
erty Mgmt. LLC).
Council unanimously approved the new EMS
six-month probationary period and unanimously
approved the new pay scale for EMS responders.
These changes will go into effect May 1.
Council scheduled a building and grounds
meeting for 5:30 p.m. April 22. The purpose of
this meeting is to discuss the village owned farm
ground, cemetery and the potential sale of the
old Hotel Barnes lot.
Trausch commented that the village income
tax filing procedure needs to be updated. Ac-
cording to Trausch, it is not possible to file the
village tax forms electronically and the paper
forms are not easy to fill out. Trausch suggested
that this be discussed at a future finance commit-
tee meeting.
The next regular council meeting will be held
6:30 p.m. Monday, May 6.
Antwerp Council dealing
with Dollar Store changes
By JOE SHOUSE
Correspondent
ANTWERP The Dollar
General Store update, a new
gas furnace for the depot, and
spotting eagles in the park were
issues of concern for the
Antwerp Village Council dur-
ing their regular monthly meet-
ing on Monday evening, April
15.
There was a good news-
bad news report concerning
the new Dollar General Store
being built in Antwerp. The
good news is the building of
the new store will take place
with a target date of Septem-
ber, but thats where the good
news ends.
Originally, the plan called
for Dollar General to partici-
pate in applying for an eco-
nomic development block
grant that would allow the de-
veloper of the property to build
the access road to include util-
ities that would be utilized by
Dollar General, but would ex-
tend in such a way to allow fu-
ture business development.
However, the developer has
decided not to pursue the grant
procedure and therefore it ap-
pears at this time the Dollar
Store will be built minus the
extension of the new access
road and utilities.
The development com-
pany doesnt want anything
to do with this. They have
said they would go with what
they know now and not what
could happen with the new
road, commented village ad-
ministrator Sara Keeran. She
concluded her comments by
saying, Its a blow to further
development.
In a related matter, council
passed the motion presented
as recommended by the util-
ity committee giving Pogge-
meyer Design Group the go
ahead to do the utility engi-
neering work in the event an
economic development grant
is submitted for the Dollar
General project.
A new gas furnace is
scheduled to be installed at
the depot in the next few
weeks. The anticipated
monthly cost will range be-
tween $225-$250 per month
during the cold winter
months.
The first phase of the Safe
Routes to School program
has been awarded to Midwest
Contracting Inc. of Holland,
Ohio. The construction of
new sidewalks from the S
curve on East Canal Street to
Kroos Drive will cost
$58,432.25 and will be com-
pleted by July 31.
Mayor Tom VanVlerah in-
formed the council that at this
time of year the eagles are out
and are gaining the attention of
those in the park. He would
like to encourage people to
enjoy the birds and to look at
them all they want, but do not
disturb them.
The village agreed by con-
sensus to pay $5,000 towards
the work done by Perrysburg
commercial developer Larry
Dillon for work he has per-
formed.
The third reading was given
for Resolution 2013-01, a re-
newal of the 2-mill levy for po-
lice protection. The motion to
accept the resolution unani-
mously passed.
Council suspended the rules
and unanimously passed ordi-
nance 2013-13 authorizing the
village to loan the waterfowl
exhibit to Mark Feasby for the
purpose of preservation. The
Council also suspended the
rules and passed ordinance
2013-14 that corrects a typo-
graphical error concerning a
quarterly water rate.
In other business:
The first reading of ordi-
nance 2013-15 establish a pol-
icy that it shall obtain
maintenance and energy cost
estimates in determining
whether to expend public funds
for public improvement proj-
ects including construction,
renovation or remodeling of
public structures.
Total disbursements for
the month of March totaled
$203,381.
Police Chief George
Clemens reported 106 calls
were made in March along
with 11 offenses for court.
EMS runs for the year is
104, which is 30 more than this
time last year.
The motion was made to
allow the EMS to sell un-
wanted items valued at less
than $150.
Property on Oswalt Street
will be taken down using
funds from the demolition
grant. The owner of the prop-
erty has signed the consent
forms with demolition taking
place within 30 days.
Mayor VanVlerah re-
ported he had received notice
that Medicom rates will in-
crease beginning May 1.
Mayors Court brought
in $1,608 during March with
$125 being sent to the State
of Ohio, $1,318 remaining in
the village and $60 placed in
the police computer fund.
Fees were paid out in the
amount of $150.
The next council meeting is
scheduled for 5:30 p.m. Mon-
day, May 20.
Junior fair board busy
with fair preparations
By BILL SHERRY
Correspondent
The Paulding County Agri-
culture Society met on April 10
with fair board members and
guests present for the meeting.
The Paulding County Junior
Fair project livestock tagging
and weigh in was Saturday,
April 6 and Junior Fair Advisor
Tony Miller commented that
the tagging went well and
they were all done by 11:30
a.m..
According to Staci Hiler
Ohio State Extension office
4-H program assistant all
livestock numbers were up
substantially this year. Hiler
noted that they had weighed
and tagged a total of 34 dairy
feeders, 19 beef feeders, 12
sheep, 61 goats, 67 hogs and
22 steers.
Miller commented that all
barns would be full for this
years fair. Hiler also noted
that there are still some open-
ings for trophy sponsors. If
you would like to sponsor
some trophies please contact
her at 419-399-8225.
Miller commented that the
Junior Fair Board has had
two work meetings so far and
the sheep and hog barns are
cleaned and ready to house
animals for the fair. The
youth will continue to work
on Tuesday evenings and Sat-
urdays until all work is com-
pleted. Anyone willing to
lend a hand is welcome to
come out and help with
cleanup and repair.
Miller also noted that the
Junior Fair Board has now
sold twenty benches which
will be placed around the fair-
grounds as part of an ongoing
advertising campaign and
fundraiser.
The benches needs to be
ordered by June 1, in order to
get them constructed by fair
time. The benches can be or-
dered year round if anyone
wants to purchase one for ad-
vertising during the fair next
year and in years to come.
The plans are to store the
benches when not in use.
Miller also noted that the
soap sales are now done and
the youth had made over
$500 which will help with
expenses.
The fairboard members
voted unanimously to add a
200 amp service with electri-
cal outlets on every pole in
the poultry barn. There will
also be overhead fans pur-
chased to help cool the build-
ing. The money needed for
parts and labor will be taken
from the restricted poultry
barn funds. It was decided
that the poultry barn repairs
will be such that the materials
could be reused.

Weather watches and
warnings defined
By Randy Shaffer, director
Paulding County
Emergency Management
Agency
This week I would like to
review the various terms used
by the National Weather
Service to describe some
summer weather events.
SEVERE THUNDER-
STORM WATCH
This is issued by the Na-
tional Weather Service when
conditions are favorable for
the development of severe
thunderstorms in and close to
the watch area. A severe thun-
derstorm by definition is a
thunderstorm that produces 1-
inch hail or larger in diameter
and/or winds equal or exceed
58 miles an hour.
The size of the watch can
vary depending on the
weather situation. They are
usually issued for a duration
of 4 to 8 hours. They are nor-
mally issued well in advance
of the actual occurrence of se-
vere weather.
During the watch, people
should review severe thun-
derstorm safety rules and be
prepared to move a place of
safety if threatening weather
approaches.
A severe thunderstorm
watch is issued by the Storm
Prediction Center in Norman,
Okla. Prior to the issuance of
a severe thunderstorm watch,
the Storm Prediction Center
will usually contact the af-
fected local National Weather
Service Forecast Office and
they will discuss what their
current thinking is on the
weather situation.
Afterwards, the Storm Pre-
diction Center will issue a pre-
liminary severe thunderstorm
watch and then the affected
National Weather Service
Forecast Office will then adjust
the watch (adding or eliminat-
ing counties/parishes) and then
issue it to the public by way of
a watch redefining statement.
During the watch, the National
Weather Service Forecast Of-
fice will keep the public in-
formed on what is happening
in the watch area and also let
the public know when the
watch has expired or been can-
celed.
SEVERE THUNDER-
STORM WARNING
This is issued when either a
severe thunderstorm is indi-
cated by the WSR-88D radar
or a spotter reports a thunder-
storm producing hail 1-inch or
larger in diameter and/or winds
equal or exceed 58 miles an
hour; therefore, people in the
affected area should seek safe
shelter immediately.
Severe thunderstorms can
produce tornadoes with little or
no advance warning. Lightning
frequency is not a criteria for
issuing a severe thunderstorm
warning. They are usually is-
sued for a duration of one hour.
They can be issued without a
severe thunderstorm watch
being already in effect.
Like a tornado warning, the
severe thunderstorm warning is
issued by the National Weather
Service Forecast Office. Severe
thunderstorm warnings will in-
clude where the storm was lo-
cated, what towns will be
affected by the severe thunder-
storm, and the primary threat
associated with the severe
thunderstorm warning.
If the severe thunderstorm is
also causing torrential rains,
this warning may also be com-
bined with a flash flood warn-
ing. If there is an ampersand
(&) symbol at the bottom of the
warning, it indicates that the
warning was issued as a result
of a severe weather report.
TORNADO WATCH
This is issued by the Na-
tional Weather Service when
conditions are favorable for the
development of tornadoes in
and close to the watch area.
Their size can vary depending
on the weather situation.
They are usually issued for a
duration of 4 to 8 hours. They
normally are issued well in ad-
vance of the actual occurrence
of severe weather. During the
watch, people should review
tornado safety rules and be pre-
pared to move a place of safety
if threatening weather ap-
proaches.
A tornado watch is issued by
the Storm Prediction Center in
Norman, Oklahoma. Prior to
the issuance of a tornado
watch, SPC will usually con-
tact the affected local National
Weather Forecast Office and
they will discuss what their
current thinking is on the
weather situation.
Afterward, SPC will issue a
preliminary tornado watch and
then the affected National
Weather Service Forecast Of-
fice will then adjust the watch
adding or eliminating coun-
ties/parishes and then issue it to
the public.
After adjusting the watch,
the National Weather Service
Forecast Office will let the
public know which counties
are included by way of a watch
redefining statement.
During the watch, the National
Weather Service Forecast Of-
fice will keep the public in-
formed on what is happening
in the watch area and also let
the public know when the
watch has expired or been can-
celed.
TORNADO WARNING
This is issued when a tor-
nado is indicated by the WSR-
88D radar or sighted by
spotters; therefore, people in
the affected area should seek
safe shelter immediately. They
can be issued without a tornado
watch being already in effect.
They are usually issued for a
duration of around 30 minutes.
A tornado warning is issued
by your local National Weather
Service office. It will include
where the tornado was located
and what towns will be in its
path.
If the thunderstorm which is
causing the tornado is also pro-
ducing torrential rains, this
warning may also be combined
with a flash flood warning. If
there is an ampersand (&) sym-
bol at the bottom of the warn-
ing, it indicates that the
warning was issued as a result
of a severe weather report.
After it has been issued, the
affected National Weather
Service Forecast Office will
followed it up periodically with
severe weather statements.
These statements will contain
updated information on the tor-
nado and they will also let the
public know when warning is
no longer in effect.
Remember that watches are
not always issued before a
warning, and it is not uncom-
mon for Paulding County to
get a severe thunderstorm
warning without a watch for
Paulding County.
If a watch is issued for Allen
County, Ind., be aware that
Paulding County could very
likely get a warning.
Watches are issued for
areas in and near the watch
area. So just because Paulding
County is not included in a
watch it is possible for a severe
storm to travel across the watch
area into Paulding County or
pop up in Paulding County.
The main message here is to
be aware of possible severe
weather anytime a watch is is-
sued for Paulding County or a
county adjacent to Paulding
County.
Be prepared to take action if
severe weather does appear,
look at the forecast in the
morning before you start your
day, discuss with your family
or co-workers a plan of action
should severe weather develop
during the day.

Living by nature
When asked for directions to
a certain place, some people
will say, Go one mile to 127,
turn left, and go three miles
north, while others will say,
Go down the road until you
get to the high school, turn left,
and go until you see the big
church on the left.
Both sets of directions will
get you there, in spite of them
being quite different; one uses
miles, the other, landmarks. As
I drove to Fort Wayne today,
and knew very well how to get
there, I found myself looking
for landmarks all the same.
Some things change over
time, while others stay the
same. For the most part, we ex-
pect buildings such as schools,
churches, and courthouses to
be around for a very long time.
But, there are other things that
remain constant through the
years too. Ive come to expect
sights and sounds peculiar to
each season.
In the spring, I know when I
drive through Payne, I will
see a beautiful spread of
Glory of the Snow (Chiono-
doxa) in the tree line of the
property next to the elemen-
tary school. It will be there at
about the same time every
year. I watch for it and it
makes me smile to see all that
blue laid out like that.
Also in spring, I know that
as soon as I hear the spring
peepers and the bullfrogs in
the neighbors pond, its gen-
erally warm enough to sleep
with the windows open. Ex-
cept that they can be loud
enough to keep you awake, so
you dont!
Later in the season, I watch
for the prickly pear cactus to
come into gorgeous yellow
bloom as I round the second
turn in Edgerton, Ind., on my
way to Ft. Wayne. Its a large
clump there and though no
one lives in the nearby pink
building that once was a
church, I wondered who
planted it and when.
Cactus here, you say? Yes,
and its native, too. Found nat-
urally in Ohio in the Oak
Openings area near Toledo and
in scattered southern counties,
the Eastern prickly pear cactus
(Opuntia humifusa) is hardy
to zone 4. It does take sandy
or stony xeric conditions to
do well, however.
Another event I watch for
is the appearance of the first
lightning bug of the summer
and in more years than not, it
appears within days of the
summer solstice. Summer
wouldnt be the same without
lightning bugs and I feel a lit-
tle sad for those who live
where these insects dont.
Come fall, theres a beauti-
ful maple tree on Dawkins
Road on the east side of New
Haven that turns the loveliest
shade of yellowy orange. It
nearly glows and I look for-
ward to seeing it every year,
though recently Ive noticed
that its looking pretty ragged.
Ill miss it when it goes.
Now that our part of the
world is waking up from win-
ter and warming to jacket
weather levels, its fun to
watch for these things. Youll
see that you can find your
way around a calendar with-
out even looking at it just
like the rest of the natural
world if you pay attention.

seniors for graduation on May 19, as presented
by Mr. Kevin Wilson and Mr. Dave Alt. The list
is contingent upon students completing all grad-
uation requirements.
ODOT launches 2013
construction season
LIMA Your tax dollars will be hard at
work as the Ohio Department of Transporta-
tion (ODOT) launches one of the largest, most
aggressive construction seasons to date with
projects totaling approximately $2.3 billion.
ODOT will begin or continue construction of
nearly 1,000 projects statewide including the
reconstruction of Interstate 75 in Allen
County.
In Paulding County, ODOT is planning two
projects at an estimated cost of $2,268,426.
One is grinding and resurfacing US 127 from
US 224 in Van Wert County to the south cor-
poration limit of Paulding. The second is
grinding/resurfacing and microsurfacing Ohio
111 from Ohio 637 to the Defiance County
Line.
Three local government projects are
planned, including:
Antwerp Village, sidewalks, $58,433
County engineer, bridge replacement, CR
79 over Blue Creek, $368,708
County engineer, bridge replacement, CR
87 over Flat Rock Creek, $691,422.
The total of the five county projects is
$3,386,989.
Investing in our states transportation sys-
tem is vital to our economy and to job cre-
ation, said ODOT director Jerry Wray. We
work hard to establish and maintain an effi-
cient, effective transportation system that gets
people and goods where they want to go in a
timely and safe manner.
ODOTs robust construction schedule con-
sists of an impressive 996 projects, which
could total as much as $2.3 billion. ODOT will
begin or continue work on 10 mega projects,
each totaling more than $50 million.
Motorists should use caution throughout
construction work zones this year. The top
three causes of work zone crashes are: follow-
ing too closely, failure to control, and im-
proper lane change, all of which can be
prevented by safe driving.
For up-to-the-minute road conditions and
details on highway construction projects in
every area of the state, visit ODOTs premier
website: www.ohgo.com.
The Wayne Trace Payne Elementary planned to send a team to the Paulding County Battle of
the Books competition, which was held April 16. The Payne Elementary team members are Nathan
Gerber, Zane Shaffer, Max Laukhuf, Kameron Bevis, Chloe Thompson and Sydney Coyne.

OSU students get up-close look at local wind farm
Ed Gebert/Times Bulletin
OSU students arrive at Lincoln Ridge Farm outside of Convoy to begin a tour of Blue Creek Wind Farm. The educational oppor-
tunity allowed students to ask questions of wind farm representatives and see wind turbines for themselves.
By ED GEBERT
Times Bulletin Editor
CONVOY Many local
residents are quite familiar
with the sight of wind tur-
bines spread across the
horizon, but a group of 72
Ohio State University stu-
dents got their first look at
a wind farm on Tuesday,
April 9. The students rode
buses from Columbus to
Lincoln Ridge Farm, just
outside of Convoy for a
chance to see the turbines,
ask questions, then tour
Blue Creek Wind Farm
and see for themselves.
The purpose of the trip
was really to expose the
students for the first time,
to actually let them see, if
not touch, energy, re-
marked Scott Potter, senior
energy advisor at Ohio
State University. At Ohio
State, we have a sense that
every student who gradu-
ates, whether they are in
fine art, veterinary medi-
cine, or engineering,
should have some sense of
the energy they are using
and their footprint in the
world. This is our attempt
to begin to show them
that.
Iberdrola Renewables
project developer Dan
Litchfield stated, Its a lot
of fun. Its great to interact
with the students. They are
very interested in the tech-
nology, and theyre still
learning.
Before the two buses ar-
rived on site for the ques-
t i o n - a n d - a n s w e r
interaction with represen-
tatives of Iberdrola, the
students got to see several
of the turbines as the vehi-
cles cruised along both
U.S. 30 and several county
roads.
I think they look pretty
cool, even when we
stopped by when we were
going down the country
roads, everyone was taking
pictures and talking about
them, said Tyler Willis, a
South Carolina native.
Rory McCloskey of
Sheffield, England agreed.
Some people said that
theyre not good to look at,
but I dont see a problem
with them really. They
seem fine to me.
With a turbine nearby,
the students remarked that
the noise of the traffic on
the highway was the only
ambient sound they could
hear.
Ive heard they do
make a noise, like a
whooshing sound, Willis
remarked.
But weve come quite
close to them already, and
you cant hear much noise
at the moment, Mc-
Closkey added.
This learning opportu-
nity for the students came
about because of the agree-
ment between Ohio State
and Iberdrola. The univer-
sity has contracted to buy
power generated by the
Blue Creek Wind Farm for
use on the Columbus cam-
pus. With that agreement
in place, Iberdrola offered
the chance for students to
observe a real-life lesson.
I think its a great con-
nection that the lights in
their dorm room are run-
ning on power thats com-
ing from right here in Van
Wert County and Paulding
County, Litchfield ob-
served.
Blue Creek Wind Farm
is located in Benton, Blue
Creek and Latty townships
of Paulding County and
Tully, Union and Hoaglin
townships of Van Wert
County. Commercial oper-
ation began in June 2012.
According to Potter, the
six dozen guests had var-
ied reasons for taking the
two-and-a-half hour bus
ride to northwest Ohio.
We have a few high
school students here with
an early interest in science.
Some of them are very
senior students in electrical
engineering, others have
varying environmental in-
terests, but a good portion
of them just want to know
what all the hubbub is
about, he said. There are
pros and cons to all energy,
but you hear some bad
news the noise, the
flicker so they want to
come and see this for
themselves.
Willis noted, I just
changed my major from
business to the new sus-
tainability major at Ohio
State, so Im kind of trying
to get my feet on the
ground, dive in, and see
whats going on.
McCloskey said, Im a
business major. I thought
there might be other op-
portunities to get involved
in energy through busi-
ness, so I came to have a
look down here.
Both of them admitted
that this was a chance to
see up close what they had
only seen in pictures or
from a distance.
I just wanted to get up
close to the wind turbines,
Ive never had that oppor-
tunity. Ive always just
seen them in the distance,
and Im interested to see
how they work up close,
McCloskey summarized.
This trip is a one-time
special event for the univer-
sity students, but Potter in-
dicated that other students
may get a similar opportu-
nity on a smaller scale.
From this point on
theyll be more self-di-
rected: students with a par-
ticular interest, engineers,
ecological students. And
there wont be the big pro-
duction, there will just be
five or ten students with the
right technical person at
Iberdrola, and maybe their
faculty member come up
and do a research project,
he explained.
While at Lincoln Ridge
Farm, the students also
heard remarks from OSU
Extension assistant profes-
sor and field specialist in
community economics
Nancy Bowen, Lincoln
Ridge owner Jeff Thomas,
Litchfield and other Blue
Creek Wind Farm represen-
tatives.

After Heritage closed within
4-2, the local squad picked up

Manor House varsity boys
team wins NAYS tourney
ANTWERP Last week-
end, the Antwerp Local
Schools and the Manor House
gymnasium hosted their sec-
ond annual NAYS tourna-
ment. This year, 38 teams
came from as far as Detroit,
Lagrange, Ind., and several
from the Toledo and Fort
Wayne areas and several six-
county area teams.
Sixty-eight games were
played on four courts through-
out the weekend. Tournaments
were held in seven divisions.
Winners included: NW Ohio
Thunder 5/6 grade boys; Fort
Wayne Legit 5/6 grade girls;
Fort Wayne Legit 7/8 grade
girls; South Side Select 7
grade boys; Fort Wayne Legit
8th grade boys; and Fort
Wayne Legit varsity girls.
The highlight of the exciting
weekend was the champi-
onship game of the varsity
boys tournament. Five teams
competed in the bracket and
the host Manor House team
captured the title in an exiting
sudden death overtime finish,
58-56, to garner the title.
Heading into the final sec-
onds of regulation, Detroit hit
a 3-point basket to tie the
game and send it into the over-
time. Sudden death overtime
is when there is no time on the
clock and the first team to
score wins.
Detroit won the jump ball
and in two quick passes at-
tempted a 3-point basket that
hit the back of the rim. The
Manor House team nabbed the
long rebound and threw deep
to a streaking Lance Foor for
the games final points and the
tournament championship.
The Manor House team de-
feated Western Basin Toledo,
The Manor House boys varsity team won their division championship at a NAYS tournament last weekend in Antwerp. Team

triple to lead Pauldings offense with
Kastin Kelly also adding a pair of sin-
gles. The Panthers improved to 4-1

lynn Fuller (third, discus and second,

ond, 100 and 200 dash), Darion

lano ripped a pair of singles for the
maroon and white with Corbin Ed-
wards adding a triple. Aaron Contr-
eraz (single), Jarrott Sitton (single)
and Sam Heilshorn (single) added
hits for the Panthers. Edwards also
