It was a bright, sunny
morning June 29 when ap-
proximately 125 people gath-
ered to celebrate the bicen-
tennial of Fort Brown. The
event, organized by members
of Jacob Stemple Chapter
Daughters 1812, was held to
commemorate the days over
200 years ago when soldiers
of the War of 1812 served
here.
Fort Brown was a stockade
built on the banks of the con-
fluence of the Auglaize and
the Little Auglaize rivers. A
granite monument was
placed at the site in 1953.
Some of the men, women
and children were dressed in
period attire, adding to the at-
mosphere of the celebration.
The hour-long program in-
cluded the presentation of
colors, invocation, Pledge of
Allegiance and Americans
Creed.
The Oakwood Community
Band played patriotic songs
including The Star Spangled
Banner.
The Laying of Wreaths
was conducted by several
local chapters of the
Daughters of the American
Revolution, one chapter of
the Sons of the American
Revolution and the host
Daughters of 1812.
Guest speaker was Richard
Rozevink, a historian from
Defiance, who provided

Paulding County United Way executive di-
rector Sonya Herber has announced that the
Paulding County Carnegie Library will be serv-
ing as the pacesetter for this years United Way
campaign.
Herber said that the librarys place in the up-
coming campaign will correspond with the
agencys new emphasis of programs focusing
on health, environment and the development of
the whole person.
This is in keeping with the United Ways
transition toward a community-wide impact,
said Pieper. Lets listen, lets engage more fam-
ilies. Lets read to educate people on how to
manage a budget, even if they are on a limited
income. Learning to live within ones means
can be tight.
We are real excited about the United Ways
shift of philosophy, continued Pieper. I like
the way we are shifting to funding that benefits
more of the community through partnerships.
Imagine the possibility of living united; imagine
people pooling the resources of the whole com-
munity together for each persons benefit.
Pieper said that the library will kick off its
pacesetter campaign on July 30 from noon until
6 p.m. at the main library in Paulding. The days
activities will include matinees, hot dogs and
hamburgers and popcorn. There will also be the
opportunity to make crafts.
We were the pacesetter in 2001. We had just
initiated our computer lab; then 9-11 hit and the
2001 campaign took on a different look. People
developed an attitude of, Ill give locally; I
cant change what happens in New York,
Washington or Pennsylvania but I can help
things around here, said Pieper.
Herber said that the actual kickoff for this
years campaign will be on Aug. 14 from noon
until 1 p.m. at the Paulding County Senior
Center. This past campaign raised $55,502; this
years goal is $60,000. Herber said that she
would like to see most of the fund-raising for
that wrapped up in February.
This county is a giving county, said Pieper.
We did a wonderful job with the Relay For
PCCL to serve as pacesetter
for upcoming UW campaign

Sheriffs K-9 unit to become a reality
or conducting foot pursuits according
to Sheriff Landers.
While there will be on-going vet
bills and other maintenance costs of
owning a K-9 unit, the sheriff was
pleased to note that all the dog food for
the K-9 unit will be donated from
Iams in Leipsic.
Monetary donations are still being
taken for those who wish to partici-
pate. In the meantime, Sheriff Landers
says, We have enough to get us start-
ed. We just had more money come in
last week, but the account will always
be there.
By DENISE GEBERS
PAULDING By the end of sum-
mer, it is expected that the countys
new K-9 unit will have been selected
and training begun.
According to Paulding County
Sheriff Jason Landers, over $12,000
has been donated toward the K-9 proj-
ect and a grant has also come into play.
We had a patrol car on order be-
fore, then a grant came through that
will cover it, he said. The vehicle
should be here sometime in August.
The Justice Assistance Grant (JAG)
from the Office of Ohio Criminal
Justice Services in Columbus is for
over $29,000. It will cover the cost of
the car plus some equipment.
Equipment for the cruiser includes a
kennel for the back seat area and a
cooling/heating system for the cage.
This system is designed to keep the car
at a safe temperature during heat or
cold. It comes with a pager to notify
the handler should the temperature be-
come unsafe.
Paulding Countys K-9 unit has not
yet been selected. Tentatively it has
been set up with the breeder to choose
the dog in September.
Deputy Gary Deitrick, an 18-year
veteran of the sheriffs office, has been
designated to be the K-9 units handler.
He and the dog will train simultane-
ously in Allen County, Ind. Sheriff
Landers said the 14-week course will
start in September.
They will see every situation they
might face, said the sheriff. They
will train day, night, evening and
weekends. There will be some live
tracks.
A live track would include situations
such as searching for a missing child

PAULDING If you want
to learn more about the art of
art in Paulding County, you
can do so by picking up a
copy of Alice Gerbers new
publication titled All the
Mommies Would Go Painting
Together.
The book was done in ap-
preciation of her mothers
skill as a painter. Alice, the
daughter of Drs. Kirkwood
and Edythe Pritchard M.D.,
grew up in an era when sever-
al people belonged to an art
club.
The art club was started in
the late 1950s. In fact, Alice
said, there is a ton of infor-
mation through the Paulding
papers, which documented
there was a very large group
of men and women who were
participating in some type of
art.
Looking back, Alice re-
flected that when growing up,
her mom and some neighbor-
hood ladies would load up
their paint supplies and go to a
selected place and paint. Each
artist would study the same
scene and perhaps interpret it
differently as they picked up
their brush or pencil.
The people involved with
the art club entered many art
shows and won several
awards for their paintings.
There were art shows at the
Paulding library, Fort Wayne,
Van Wert, Toledo, Bryan,
Oakwood, Lima and
Defiance.
Some of the art club mem-
bers mentioned in Alices
Leatherman, Jean Dunlap and
Martha McCague, all of
Oakwood; Esther Corwin, Joy
Deken, Peg Dotterer, Joyce
Huseby, Olive Johnson, Bob
Lindsay, Wilma Miller, Mrs.
John Schaefer, Nancy Stiger,
Sylvia Young, Barbara
Zimmer, Millie Zug and many
more.
It would be great if addi-
tional artists can be celebrated
in a similar book, completed
by those who knew them
best, Alice suggested.
A celebration party was
held May 11 with former art
club members and painters
who were presented a copy of
the book.
The author graduated from
Paulding High School and
Taylor University. She was
employed by Paulding
County Job and Family
Services for 32 years, retiring
in 2012.
She has two daughters,
Audra Lynn Schoenauer and
Susanne Louise Gerber.
Susanne designed the cover
for the book.
Alice said, This book is
dedicated to all of our mothers
(and dads) who found such re-
lease and joy in the paintings
of our towns and landscapes.
She went on to say,
Mothers paint our lives in
such grand ways. They fill us
up with all the colors of the
world.
If anyone is interested in
purchasing the book, contact
her at 419-647-4940 week-
days after 10 a.m. The price of
the book is $15.65 plus ship-
ping.

Following the ceremony at
Fort Brown, an 1812-style
lunch of ham and beans, corn
bread, cookies and lemonade
was served in the Oakwood
Community Park.

Life. I think that we can do an
equally good job with the
United Way campaign.
Pieper said that one of her
main goals is partnering the li-
brary with other organizations
that could benefit from the li-
brary and assist in raising cam-
paign money.
I want to partner with situ-
ations that benefit the entire
county, said Pieper. We want
this to become more and more
of a collaborative effort.
Pieper said that over 50 per-
cent of the children in the
county are on a free or reduced
lunch program.
That is a symptom of eco-
nomic need in our county, ob-
served Pieper. That matches
up with United Way pillars of
finance stability, health and
wellness and education pro-
grams.
Our goal is to create long-
lasting changes that prevent
problems from happening in
the first place, said Herber.
We invite you to be part of
the change. Together, united,
we can inspire hope and create
opportunities for a better to-
morrow.
United Way of Paulding
County partners with local
agencies to mobilize the car-
ing power of communities to
achieve lasting social change,
added Herber. These pro-
grams help our friends and
neighbors in need.

Clean up and sewer topics of Paulding Council
By BILL SHERRY
Correspondent
PAULDING The Paulding Vil -
lage Council met Monday evening
with five members present.
Council President Roger Sierer re-
marked that the property on Johnson
Road, the scene of a house fire sev-
eral months ago, was still not cleaned
up, and there had been reports that
rats have moved into the debris.
Mayor Greg White said that he
and village administrator Harry
Wiebe had looked at the situation
and that were going to get Police
Chief Randy Crawford involved in
the situation.
Wiebe presented council with an
administrators agenda which in-
cluded water and sewer assessments
for an account owned by Ernest C.
Crutchfield, and water, sewer and re-
fuse assessments for a residence
owned by Tamara S. Saul Eicher.
Wiebe also told council that he had
attended a safety committee meeting
and there had been some discussion
at that meeting concerning the vil-
lages solid waste issues.
Wiebe noted that there have been
some minor changes as the sewer
system is installed. He also advised
council that he was attempting to get
the engineer in charge of the sewer
separation project to present council
with the status of the project and
some of the pending issues.
White told council that the pro-
ceeds from Mayors Court for the
month of June were $1,413.80.
He also commented that he and
Wiebe had attended an open house
for the Hands of Hope, a pregnancy
crisis center that is now located at the
Samaritan Center.
Wiebe noted that the Samaritan
Center is also the location for the an-
imal care clinic. The Samaritan
Center is located on Wayne Street,
north of the Paulding County
Hospital, and was formerly the
building that was constructed and
used by Dr. Snyder in his medical
practice prior to retirement.
White extended wishes for a safe
and enjoyable holiday for the resi-
dents of Paulding and noted that the
village offices will be closed on
Thursday, July 4 and Friday, July 5 to
observe the holiday.
Solicitor Mike Jones requested
and council voted unanimously to go
into executive session to discuss real
estate legal matters.
The next meeting will be July 15.
On the picturesque banks of the Auglaize River, more than 100 people gathered Saturday to
mark the bicentennial of Fort Brown. Historian Richard Rozevink (above) was the featured
speaker.
Members of the Jacob Stemple Chapter Daughters War of 1812 dedicated a granite bench they donated for the Fort Brown
memorial site. They organized a bicentennial event held June 29.
In the 1950s, the art club in Paulding was very active. Alice Pritchard Gerber has authored a book commemorating the artists
of the area. Gerber presented copies of the book to former art club members and friends this spring.
All the Mommies Would Go Painting
book as having influence on
each others style of painting
include local painters Dr.
Edna Preston, Kate Stahl,
Mary Ruth Clark, Isabelle
Ringler, Eileen Vance Jeffery
and Elizabeth Paulus.
Also part of the story are
Sonya and John Peeper, Fern
White, Carl and Dorothy
Chester, Genny Rife, Violet
Robinson, Gene Scarbrough,
John Narkter and H.G.
Davisson.
I felt compelled to learn
from (her mothers) friends
how they pulled this off. We
were all small children, yet
they found the time to paint,
attend art shows, take addi-
tional lessons and paint
more, Alice said. In October
2008, I hosted a party with
them and with friends whom I
considered family. It was then
that I knew their story needed
to be captured in print.
She began working on the
project that year and it was in
2010 that Alice interviewed
former art club members. In
the fall of 2012, she spent
hours at the Paulding County
Carnegie Library looking for
any documentation concern-
ing the club activity, paintings
or members.
The book includes many
pictures of various paintings
done years ago by local
artists.
A few local artists included
Jean Hughes, Mary Marlin,
Mary Schilb, Mrs. Richard
Schilb and Mrs. Verne
Tussing, all of Antwerp;
Verde Leatherman, Charles

here again this past Sunday.
We had a nice sized atten-

Bologna, cheese spread,
peanut butter spread, red
beets, freezer and dill pickles,

We also always make an 8

It is a Wednesday after-
noon. This morning the tem-
perature was 51. We went
out to weed and hoe in the
garden after the morning
house-work was done. It was
cool when we started, but the
warm sun soon made it get
hot. We came in to eat some
lunch and take a break.
With church services being
held here twice recently, the
gardens were neglected more
than usual this past month.
Everything is growing real
well. We are getting enough
rain that we dont need to
water the garden.
Tomatoes are loaded on the
plants and the corn is past
knee-high already. We are al-
ready enjoying hot peppers.
We planted Seranno and ba-
nana peppers.
The bananas will soon be big
enough to stuff with cream
cheese and Colby cheese then
wrap with bacon and grill. We
like the banana peppers better
than the jalapeno peppers to
do as they arent as hot. We
have also been enjoying let-
tuce, radishes, and green
onions from our garden for
quite some time.
Yesterday we took Dia-
mond, our 19-year-old horse,
to town to get new shoes for
the boys.
Diamond seems to get

the trip to town and back, but
he is safe and sound around
all the traffic. It means a lot to
have a horse that doesnt shy
away from the big trucks and

2013-14 NPAC season
to feature big names
By LINDSAY MCCOY
DHI Correspondent
VAN WERT The Nis-
wonger Performing Arts Cen-
ter (NPAC) of Van Wert has
announced its upcoming
2013-14 concert season
schedule with some exciting
new and returning guests in-
cluding popular country
artists, Trace Adkins and Kel-
lie Pickler, and a variety of
other special performances.
It seems like just yester-
day we were fighting to build
this place, said NPAC exec-
utive director Paul Hover-
man. Now, we are getting
ready to celebrate our seventh
season. We are very excited
for this years season, and
with 24 scheduled events we
have something that will
tickle the fancy of everyone.
The process of planning
and scheduling this years
season began many months
ago in November thanks to
the tireless work of the NPAC
Programing Committee.
The season is set to kick off
in less than four months on
Oct. 5, with contemporary
Christian artist, Michael W.
Smith. Smith is a three-time
Grammy Award winner and
has sold more than 13 million
albums. His biggest success
came in 1991 with his hit,
Place in this World, which
reached number six on the
Billboard Hot 100. This is an
artist that Hoverman has been
hoping to bring to Van Wert
for a long time.
Debby Boone will be visit-
ing the NPAC on Oct. 20,
with Under the StreetLamp
on Nov. 1, and the Ohio State
Marching Band will be mak-
ing an appearance on Nov. 7.
This season, we are ex-
pecting by far our biggest
concert we have ever brought
in, and we expect to sell out
very quickly exclaimed
Hoverman. American country
music artist and 2013 winner
of Celebrity Apprentice,
Trace Adkins, will grace Van
Wert with his huge presence
on Nov. 16.
Adkins has charted more
than 20 singles on the Bill-
board country music charts
including, Ladies Love
Country Boys, Youre
Gonna Miss This, and
Songs About Me.
If any tickets are left remain-
ing for the public following
Grand Series and Select Se-
ries ticket sales, they will go
on sale 90 days prior to Nov.
16.
Adkins will be followed by
a variety of Christmas per-
formances including Sonos
Handbells on Dec. 1, return-
ing performer Tony Orlando,
on Dec. 7, Dave Koz and
Friends on Dec. 10, and Point
of Grade on Dec. 15.
January will kickoff with
two exciting performances,
The Cinderella Ballet and
Kellie Pickler.
The Cinderella Ballet will
be returning to Van Wert from
Russia for their second per-
formance on the NPAC stage.
Kellie Pickler is another
American music country
artist who gamed fame as a
contestant on the fifth season
of American Idol. Pickler re-
cently made her way back to
television on ABCs hit se-
ries, Dancing with the
Stars.
We werent sure we could
get Pickler, but everything
landed just right, noted Hov-
erman.
Van Wert will also be wel-
coming two Broadway plays,
The Addams Family on

Blighted buildings demolished
through state funding program
By JIM LANGHAM
Feataure Writer
Three structures in Paulding County have
been demolished and others are up for contract
through an Ohio Attorney Generals Office
program known as Moving Ohio Forward.
The local county has received $104,296 to as-
sist with demolition so far and could receive
more if circumstances warrant.
Those residences demolished so far are lo-
cated at 105 N. Fifth St. in Oakwood, 414 W.
Harrison St. in Paulding and 109 Stone St. in
Antwerp.
Other sites under consideration or bid in-
clude 207 Auglaize, Oakwood; 15825 Third
St., Broughton; 101 Logan St., Scott; 1957
Ohio 49, Payne; 658 Broadway, Latty; 400
South St., Oakwood; 122 Oswalt, Antwerp;
and 104 Third St., Oakwood.
Commissioner Tony Zartman noted that
several circumstances are necessary in order
to gain the right to tear down buildings includ-
ing agreement with owner or condemning
from villages. Zartman said that letters have
been sent to mayors and trustees concerning
the sites.
The commissioners do not have the power
to condemn. Only villages and townships have
the power, Zartman said.
Paulding County is now accepting nomi-
nations for projects to be funded with these
grant dollars, said Commissioner Fred
Pieper. The projects will then be assessed and
prioritized by a committee established by the
commissioners.
Grant guidelines for demolition including
the following:
1. It must be a residential home, meaning it is
on zoned land for residential use, has been used
as a residential dwelling, or connected to a struc-
ture that has been a residential dwelling mix.
2. It must be vacant, the property is unoccu-
pied and has been so for at least 90 days, but was
previously residential and documentation of such
status can be verified.
3. The home could be abandoned or mortgage
or tax foreclosure proceedings have been initi-
ated for that property and no mortgage or tax
payments have been made for at least 90 days.
4. The structure should be classified as
blighted. Examples of this state could in-
clude a dilapidated roof, infestation, deterio-
ration or extensive damage.
Each property is bid separately, separate
cost and separate contractor, said Pieper.
There is a chance that this could be ex-
tended at the end of the year, continued
Pieper. Anything over $500,000 would have
to have matching money.
Pieper said that one of the determining fac-
tors on whether or not the agreement would be
extended would be whether or not Franklin
County seeks renewal. The commissioner said
that Franklin County had been awarded $4.5
million. If that funding is not renewed, then it
could become available to other counties.

Sheriffs Report
Mike Kauser was the speaker at the Paulding Kiwanis Club.
He was representing the fair ground committee to build three
new buildings in the agriculture area to bring them up to code.
The buildings will house the sheep, goats, swine and poultry.
These buildings are to be paid for from donations; one donor
said if the committee can raise $100,000, they will match it. The
estimated cost is around $250,000 for the total project. More than
$65,000 has been raised so far. He noted that farm community
has been very generous in helping to fund the effort. Tiffany
Beckman was the program chairman.

Attend our county
fair next year
Dear Editor,
Another Paulding County
Fair has come and gone.
I would like to thank the
fair board for the outstand-
ing job they did in present-
ing an incredible fair to this
county. So much hard work,
time and dedication went
into the fun we all had.
Thank you to the generous
donors for making Paulding
a free fair so that all can
enjoy. Thank these donors in
person if you have the op-
portunity, they are very spe-
cial, giving individuals.
If you missed the fair be-
cause you thought youd
save your money to go to
Van Wert County Fair, thats
too bad because ours has
turned the corner and now
offers much more, plus its
right in our backyard!
Support our local activi-
ties; it pays dividends. Our
children benefit so much
from the 4-H and FFA pro-
grams that we support.
I would encourage every-
one, if you have not attended
the fair recently, please do so
next year.

What is the purpose
of sewer separation?
PAULDING Michael Karafa
from Jones & Henry Engineers has
provided an update on the Village of
Pauldings ongoing sewer separation
project
The Purpose of the Village of
Paulding Phase 1 Sewer Separation
Project
Sanitary flow is flow coming from
your bathroom and storm flow comes
from rain. Together these flows share
a combined sewer. This 48-inch com-
bined brick sewer flows from the
downtown district and surrounding
area and transports this flow to the la-
goons.
In rain events, the sewer becomes
surcharged, and cannot handle this ad-
ditional flow. When this happens, there
is a 48-inch overflow pipe that allows
this additional flow to discharge into
Flat Rock Creek. This is called a Com-
bined Sewer Overflow (CSO).
The purpose of this project is to
provide separate storm sewers and
sanitary sewers in an effort to elimi-
nate this CSO into Flat Rock Creek.
The intent is that this outlet into Flat
Rock Creek will be a dedicated storm
sewer, once this project is completed
and all private property illicit connec-
tions are removed.
In My Opinion
Be neighborly this July 4th
I have lived in the area for eight months and although I do
not live in Paulding County now, I did live here a few years
ago and appreciated my time serving the community in vari-
ous ways. Today, my wife and I are empty nesters living on a
cul-de-sac of homes that are basically all alike, at least on the
outside. I am convinced that on the inside it is a different
story.
I admit, when the semi-truck full of our lifetime collection of
stuff, pulled up in front of our house to unload our belongs, the
first thing I should have done was visit my new neighbors offer-
ing them a hand shake and letting them know what a privilege it
is to live next to them. But, I
confess, I didnt do that. No, I
wanted to get the computer
hooked up, the television di-
aled in, my clothes in the
closet and locate the coffee
pot. Those things just seemed
important to me at the time.
Well, eight months have
past and I have spoken to my next door neighbor a few times.
We had a long conversation the other day when he informed me
that I was to mow the section of grass in the back behind the pri-
vacy fence. Oops! I didnt know that. He politely reminded me
that he had mowed it once when it was knee high, but he would-
nt do it again. I said thanks for the information and immedi-
ately mowed the area in question.
A young couple living directly across from us seems to have
their own agenda. They will pull up in their vehicle and if I am
in the yard they will sit in their car until I go in the house. And
once they are out of the car, they bolt to their front door. Obvi-
ously, I have not talked to the young couple, not even a hello.
Well, I take that back, sort of.
The other evening my wife was putting something in the
trunk of our car and when she turned around the young couple
was outside trying to escape to their car without being noticed.
My quick thinking wife acknowledged their presence with a
smile and a neighborly hello and in return there was silence,
absolutely no response. With that, I just knew I should have
been prepared with a plate of homemade cookies to give them
the day the movers arrived with our furniture.
Another neighbor, a husband and wife, with children of an
uncertain number are the vocal ones in the neighborhood. I am
not sure how many kids there are, but probably five or even six
based on the number of bicycles in the front yard. This family
has one volume when it comes to conversation and it is loud,
very loud. The kids are loud because mom is loud and dad is
loudest of all. But when they are outside, it is usually a normal
voice with a normal volume. And yet, not a word, not even a
wave to the empty nesters that live across the street as the van
drives by loaded with kids.
Now, there was some progress made recently. A neighbor
down the street stopped by one day when we were gone. She
left a notice in our door about her upcoming yard sale. Her flyer
was asking other neighbors to consider having a garage sale at
the same time. She even suggested how she would put a large
ad in the paper and we could all help pay for it. And when you
think about it, it would be the neighborly thing to do.
I dont know, maybe back in November when we moved, my
wife and I should have made it a point to visit all our neighbors
and welcome ourselves to the neighborhood. But, we didnt and
so today we live on a street where being neighborly seems out
of the question.
So, its just my opinion, that when you are outside this week,
getting the yard mowed, find the right spot to place the Ameri-
can flag and the neighbors are out working in their yard, why
not speak to each other? It will make your July fourth celebra-
tion more meaningful because after all, its the neighborly thing
to do.

Vantage prepares for 2013-14
By LINDSAY McCOY
DHI Correspondent
VAN WERT Vantage Ca-
reer Center Board of Education
welcomed special guest and
career tech supervisor MaryJo
Wilhelm on June 27 to speak
about this weeks STEM
CAMP, which that day.
This year, Vantage submitted
a grant to Eaton Corporation
for their Charitable Fund for
$3,000 to run this camp paired
with the YWCA and 40 of their
Summer Food participants.
Each day students were
picked up at the YWCA and
came to Vantage to learn edu-
cation information dealing with
science, technology, electron-
ics, and math. Children spent
each day working within a dif-
ferent field which included a
day with computers, tractors,
alternative energy, measuring
the height of the Vantage facil-
ity with mirrors, and a fossil
hunt at Lafarge.
Its a great plus anytime we
can get kids and parents in this
building, said Wilhelm. We
are opening our doors so that
everyone can see what we have
to offer.
Wilhelm is hopeful that this
camp, as well as other activities
throughout the summer, will
encourage non-traditional stu-
dents to the non-traditional
programs offered at Vantage.
High school director Ben
Winans and adult education di-
rector Pete Prichard also gave
reports on the end of the 2012-
13 school year and what is
being done to prepare Vantage
for the upcoming 2013-14
school year.
Prichard reported that Van-
tage is continuing to work with
Van Werts economic develop-
ment department to fill the
deficit between what is needed
in todays jobs and what skills
their students have to offer.
Administration and teachers
are also looking at fiscal adjust-
ments to bring down costs for
the next school year. Profes-
sional activities are being ful-
filled online to help adult
education teachers to work on
their education skills to be-
come better teachers for adults
looking to continue their edu-
cation.
Winans reported that several
teachers are going through
OTEZ training for standard
changes that are quickly ap-
proaching for all school dis-
tricts in the next couple years.
Tile repair has been continued
throughout the building, and
July 8, the floors will be refin-
ished in the lab areas. Land-
scaping advances are
continuing throughout the
summer and are finally begin-
ning to come along. The school
has also received a full sized
van as well as a car and will be
purchasing additional needed
vehicles before the beginning
of the school year.
The board approved
amended revenues and appro-
priations for fiscal year 13 as
well as approved final num-
bers. Temporary revenues and
appropriations were also ap-
proved. Treasurer Lori Davis
reported that the district ended
the year very well, and rev-
enues were up by 1.6 percent.
Costs were down due to work-
ers comp premiums remaining
down and taxes being up.
Overall, revenue totals re-
mained $865,000 above ex-
penses at the end of the school
year.
Davis expects that in 2014
the revenues and expenses will
come back in line with those
before construction began and
that fiscal year 14 will see very
small changes from what has
initially been projected.
Davis also reported that the
refunding of bonds process is
still delayed while the bond un-
derwriter continues to watch
the market. The market is low-
ering, but still remains high.
Vantage will also be joining
Ohio Shared Services for a

move everything over to this

A Penny For
Your Thoughts....
By: Nancy Whitaker
MORE THAN BUTTER
This week has been a devas-
tating one for beloved Food
Network star, Paula Deen. Per-
sonally, I am just sick at the way
she has been treated by her em-
ployer and her sponsors.
I am sure others may have a
different opinion than I do, but
when you watch these stars and
let them into your your homes
everyday, you feel like you get
to know them. The same holds
true for Deen.
I love her cooking, her South-
ern friendliness and her rags to
riches story. Her wonderful
recipes calling for a stick of but-
ter tempts my tastebuds and en-
courages my creative cooking
skills.
The latest saga in Paula
Deens life stems from a gal
who managed one of Paula
Deens and her brother,
Bubbas, restaurant for five
years.
The former employee claims
she was subjected to racial slurs,
jokes and sexual innuendoes
during her five years of employ-
ment. At first, the accuser ap-
proached the Deen family and
said she would settle out of
court for a price.
The Deen family did not
want to pay out the money and
claimed that the accusations
were just not true.
However, the accuser did
take it to court and Deen was
asked questions in her deposi-
tion, if she had ever used a racial
term at anytime during her life.
Deen replied at one time she
did in fact use the derogatory
term. She went on to explain, it
happened when she was being
robbed by a man at gun point.
She said she did not promote or
stand for racism and she had
been raised to tell the truth.
From there, the story became
the focus of news reports, talk-
ing heads and the social media.
Everyone jumped on the band-
wagon to voice their opinions.
But then, if it wasnt bad that
Deen was being sued for an al-
leged racial term, her employer,
the Food Network, on which
she had a cooking show for the
past 12 years, chose not to
renew her contract.
The very people she thought
were friends and coworkers did
not want anything to do with
this star who had brought them
in a many fans and a lot of
dough. (Pun intended.)
Of course, Deen and her two
sons, who also have cooking
shows, were devastated. Their
fortune had not came easy. For
years Paula was a single parent
and she and her sons made
money selling bagged lunches
for workers during lunch hours.
Paulas bagged lunches were
so good and tasty that they be-
came popular with the lunch
crowd. She became known as
The Bag Lady. Paulas expertise
was in fact cooking. She loved
cooking the good old southern
dishes and all of her recipes
contained rich wonderful ingre-
dients.
Paula Deen was on the
Today Show last Wednesday,
sobbing and telling of her hon-
esty and how she had raised her
boys the same way. One news
outlet asked her, You could
have lied on that deposition and
say that you had never used a
racial slur. Why didnt you?
Deen replied she did not lie
and that she has always be-
lieved, If God brings you to it;
he will bring you through it.
In the past few days some of
her main sponsors have
dropped her products while
some are sticking by her side.
A Facebook page was started
and is titled We Support Paula
Deen. Since it started just this
week, it has over 500,000 fans
who all support the cook, her
recipes, her personality, and yes
her butter.
Deen has a new cookbook set
to come out in October and
many of her fans called Ama-
zon or went online to pre-order
the book. The book is now
climbing up the ladder and will
probably be on the bestseller
list.
I feel that at one time or an-
other we have all used some
derogatory word that in no
longer kosher to use. It is too
bad how one person can take
away your livelihood, your
funds, and your self esteem and
all you have worked for without
at least giving this lady from the
south a fair shake.
People can stomp on our flag
and bad mouth the government
and no one says a thing. How-
ever, it is a shame to let one per-
son who has worked hard to get
where she is be turned over to a
pack of judgmental wolves.
The Bible says, He who is
without sin, let him cast the first
stone.
While we all have different
opinions, we are all human.
How do you feel about judg-
mental people? How would you
feel if you lost everything you
worked for due to a word you
might have used 30 years ago?
Let me know and Ill give
you a Penny for Your Thoughts.

Creatures at the
Nature Center
By Mark Holtsberry
Education specialist
Paulding SWCD
Many wonderful creatures can be at the Na-
ture Center park and grounds. Snapping turtles
are very visible if careful attention is given.
Large specimens may weigh more than 35
pounds. Though they are very abundant, they
are not seen as frequently as most other turtles.
From May through June, females may be seen
crossing roads in search of sites to lay their
eggs. Although the snapping turtles powerful,
keen-edged jaw are capable of doing great
damage to a carelessly placed finger, stories
of snapping broom handles in half are an ex-
aggeration. I have seen a snapping turtle the
size of a basketball and had no intention of in-
troducing myself.
The Northern map turtle is another visible
resident of the Nature Center. The female is
bigger than the male. The turtle gets its name
from the network of fine yellow lines that
crisscross around its neck. These lines almost
look like a topographical map. They are very
noticeable on young specimens, but they fade
with age. Map turtles may be active year-
round, and have been observed walking
around under the ice during winter time.
The most frequently seen turtle at the park
are the Midland painted turtles. These turtles
can be seen basking in the sun on a log in the
water. Sometimes, about a dozen or so can be
seen on a log at any given sunny day. The pat-
terns look as if they were painted on by hand.
Only the Midland painted turtle occurs in
Ohio.
Although an occasional individual may at-
tempt to bite when first captured, these turtles
usually become very tame. These turtles are
seen crossing the road, walking on the trails
or on the banks. With the changing of the
weather, Midland painted turtles seek deep
water and burrow into the mud or debris at the
bottom. The small amount of oxygen they
need is absorbed from the water through the
inner lining of the mouth. Be careful on the
trails, no to step on and injure this turtle. They
are just trying to get where they need to go.
Enjoy the wonders and beauty at the Nature
Center!

Winning the Battle for a Generation
ment of the chase.
After several minutes, Custer decided it was
time for the kill. Again, He shoved the pistol into
the side of the buffalo. But, as if sensing Custers
intentions, the buffalo abruptly turned toward the
horse. The horse veered away from the buffalos
horns, and when Custer tried to grab the reins with
both hands, his finger accidentally fired a bullet
into his own horses head, killing it instantly.
Custer was thrown to the ground and then
struggled quickly to his feet to face the animal that
had been his prey only seconds before. Instead of
charging, the buffalo stared at the strange, foolish
man and walked off.
Horseless and alone, Custer began the long,
dangerous walk back to his regiment. In less than
a decade, this same recklessness and arrogance
would lead the General and his men to their death
on a flat-topped hill next to a river called the Little
Bighorn.
Does my pride get in the way of Gods work in
my life? Regarding the impact of pride in our lives
the scriptures tells us Psalm 10:4 (NIV), 4 In
his pride the wicked does not seek him; in all his
thoughts there is no room for God.

Does pride get in the way of Gods work in
my life? Sometimes life lessons come hard and
are never learned, something we see exemplified
in the historical story Ive referenced in this
weeks news article.
In the spring of 1867, George Custer and his
regiment were on a scouting expedition on the
plains of Kansas. Suddenly, Custers English
greyhounds, his constant companions, began to
chase some antelope over a distant hill.
In spite of himself, Custer could not resist join-
ing the chase. It was not long before the general,
his horse, and his pack of dogs had left his regi-
ment far behind.
He quickly forgot his men and his mission
when he crested the first hill and saw his first
buffalo; an enormous, shaggy bull. He put the
spurs to his horses sides and began the chase.
As the horse gained on the massive buffalo,
Custer yelled with excitement. An avid hunter,
he had to bring this trophy home.
He drew his pearl-handled pistol. But as he
came alongside the thundering beast and shoved
the barrel into its thick shaggy side, Custer
paused. Feeling the ground shake, hearing the
ragged breathing of both animals side by side,
he pulled the pistol back, to prolong the enjoy-

In The
Garden
By
Kylee Baumle
Passionate or obsessed?
There was a lively discus-
sion on Facebook last week
as several of us watched Nik
Wallenda walk that tightrope
across the Grand Canyon
without a safety net or tether.
A common thought was that
youd have to be a little crazy
to do what he did.
I tried to put myself in his
position, a little difficult to
do, but I considered his fam-
ilys legacy and the tradition
of making a living by per-
forming stupendous feats.
Few outside his family can
truly understand what that is.
To be that passionate about
something might border on
obsession to some.
A few years ago, an ex-
tended family member told
me I was obsessed with gar-
dening. She said this like it
was a bad thing. Even though
she gardened a bit, her level
of involvement was a bit
lower than mine, and she just
didnt understand how I could
spend so much time thinking
about it and doing it.
But, I contend that most of
us have something that were
more than a little enthusiastic
about, something that gives
us so much joy and satisfac-
tion that we cant imagine not
doing it.
Life exposes us to many
things and our unique person-
alities cause us to gravitate
toward specific activities that
fulfill some sort of need
within us.
Gardening does that for
me. I came to enjoy it more
seriously later in life, though
Id always grown either
houseplants or had a veg-
etable garden since the begin-
ning of my married life.
But eight years ago, a
switch was somehow flipped
and I embraced gardening
like I was born to do it.
We gardeners have various
reasons why we go out in the
spring, till the soil, plant the
seeds, care for the plants, har-
vest the crop, prune the
branches, and do it all over
again the next year and the
next. Some do it out of ne-
cessity, helping to feed their
families by growing edibles
and preserving them for later.
But, many of us do it for
the sheer joy of seeing the
miracles that occur daily in
our little plots of land. The
beauty of the flowers is a
given, but leaves are just as
glorious in their myriad of
shapes and patterns and even
colors.
We get a front row view of
Gods creation interacting
when we watch the butterflies
sipping nectar, the humming-
birds hovering over the honey-
suckle and the baby ladybugs
dining on aphids. Ill never for-
get the time I watched a
monarch caterpillar form its
chrysalis on the hardy hibiscus.
Gardeners get to be artists,
crafting our works of art using
plants. So often, its a motion
picture, as we move this plant
there and decide that one
would look better over here.
Ours is an ongoing creation as
we get inspired throughout the
seasons.
We know a garden is never
really done. Whats the fun in
that? So much of the time, the
enjoyment comes from the jour-
ney, not in reaching the final
destination. Theres always
more to learn and more chal-
lenges to face and thats what
keeps us doing what we do.
Just like Nik Wallenda.

Six foods to
lower blood
pressure
For adults under 65, its that
upper number in your blood
pressure reading that may be
the best indicator of future
heart problems or even pre-
mature death. A normal read-
ing is around 120/80. If that
first number is 140 or higher,
you have reason for concern.
One safe, effective way to
decrease blood pressure for
all age groups is to eat foods
that work naturally to dilate
blood vessels so the heart
doesnt have to work so hard.
There are six fabulous foods
which can lower your blood
pressure.
Berries. Just one serving of
blueberries a week can help
cut your risk of high blood
pressure. Blueberries, as well
as raspberries and strawber-
ries, contain natural com-
pounds called anthocyanins
that protect against hyperten-
sion.
Cereal. Having a bowl of
breakfast cereal, especially
whole-grain, high-fiber cere-
als like oatmeal, oat squares,
bran flakes or shredded
wheat, can reduce your
chance of developing high
blood pressure.
Potato. Everyone loves a
baked potato, right? But did
you know that a baked potato
is high in potassium and mag-
nesium, two important miner-
als that can help fight high
blood pressure?
Beet juice. Drinking a glass
of beet juice can lower blood
pressure within just a few
hours.
Got milk? Eating low-fat
dairy products can reduce the
chances of developing hyper-
tension.
Chocolate lovers rejoice!
Eating a one-ounce square of
dark chocolate daily can help
lower blood pressure, espe-
cially in people who already
have hypertension, according
to Harvard researchers who
analyzed 24 chocolate stud-
ies.
These foods according to
studies will help lower blood
pressure which will lead to a
healthier you.

Communities have challenges in attracting a new business
WBESC board reviews legislation correspondence
According to Paulding County
Economic Development office,
when a business is looking for a
community in which to locate, some
of the questions they may ask of the
community are:
Will the state offer low interest
loans?
Do you have enough water/sewer
supply for my business?
What is the land cost or will the
village be willing to donate the
land?
Do you have a dependable rail-
road next to where I want my busi-
ness?
How close is the interstate high-
way?
Do you have the population al-
ready in place to support my busi-
ness in your town?
Do you have an empty building
large enough to accommodate our
needs?
Do you offer incentives for me to
locate there?
Do you have educational dollars
to train employees for the skills that
I will need?
Will the village/township grant
my business any tax abatement for
locating in that area?
What is the noise level limit in
that area?
Will the school work with us?
How close is an airport?
One may ask, What are the an-
swers to each of these questions?
Paulding County Economic Devel-
opment (PCED) tries as best they
can to help each business locate
here, but to answer these questions,
PCED needs to know:
How many new jobs will the new
business create?
What type of business is it and
will it fit well into the desired loca-
tion?
Are there enough unemployed
people in our community to support
the new businesss need without
hurting the other industries?
If new skills are needed, can local
vocational schools and colleges pro-
vide training?
There are incentives to aid new
businesses and expansions in the
county, but each village and/or town-
ship and local school districts will
have to make the decision first if they
are willing to give a business any
abatements.
When a business seeks answers so
they can make a judgment on whether
they want to establish a business here,
PCED director Tony Langham drives
them around the entire county, going
to each village to see what area ap-
peals to them. They discuss the county
profile and talk with industries in the
county to find out if the area is busi-
ness friendly and about the local work
ethic.
Investors in a prospective business
want to know what the taxes will be
on their project and what incentives
we may have to offer. To answer this,
PCED is in contact with many of the
following: village councils; township
trustees; local schools; county offi-
cials such as auditor, treasurer,
recorder, engineer and county com-
missioners; Revolving Loan Commit-
tee; Tax Incentive Review Council;
Community Improvement Corpora-
tions (CICs) and Maumee Valley
Planning Organization. These are all
key players in making a project hap-
pen.
It is the opinion of the PCED
board that all the organizations and
elected officials listed above do work
together to improve employment op-
portunities in our county. It takes
teamwork, stated Randy Derck,
PCED board president.

PAULDING The Western
Buckeye ESC Governing
Board held its regular meeting
Wednesday, June 26 at the
Paulding ESC office.
Superintendent Brian Gerber
discussed Amended Substitute
H.B. 59 as passed by the Ohio
Senate, which is the Biennial
State Operating Budget.
Gerber also updated the
board on the legislation known
as Obamacare and its impact on
the ESC with possible penalties.
I have written letters to Sen-
ator Portman, Congressman
Latta and President Obama
about this poorly conceived leg-
islation and received letters
back from all three leaders. Sen-
ator Portman and Congressman
Latta agree, but obviously Pres-
ident Obama does not, Gerber
said.
Senator Portman in his letter
stated, The health care system
is broken and unfortunately, the
new law does not address the
basic cost and challenges that
the nation faces. It represents a
missed opportunity to actually
lower costs and bring real re-
form. Instead, the bill increases
costs and places a greater bur-
den on patients, businesses, and
states. It is a costly big govern-
ment approach that leads to
higher health care costs, large
tax increases, higher premiums,
and fewer jobs. It eliminates the
ability and responsibility of in-
dividuals to manage their health
care. That is why I agree with
you and believe we must pursue
commonsense solutions to
transform health care and
achieve meaningful reforms
that do not lead to government
dependence and skyrocketing
debt.
Congressman Latta stated in
his letter, Since the passage of
PPACA, the American people
have found that costs will go up
not down, and many patients
will not be able to keep the cov-
erage they currently have. With
the Courts ruling, we now
know this is a massive tax in-
crease on the middle class tax-
payers and small businesses.
American businesses, which
have struggled during the reces-
sion, will not be able to create
jobs that we so desperately need
right now due to the higher
taxes and burdensome regula-
tions this law imposes.
President Obama replied in
saying, I am confident we will
emerge from these tough times
stronger than before with a re-
newed promise of a better future
for all.
I was pleased that all three
leaders responded, Gerber
said. However, Senator Port-
man and Congressman Latta in-
cluded specific detail in their
letters. President Obama only
supplied a statement without
any specific detail or long range
plan.
In consent items, the board
approved:
the following resignations,
effective at the end of the 2012-
13 school year Shelly Billman,
Ava Burkheimer, Karri Diehl,
Travis Hammer, James Johnson,
Tina Kennedy and Erin Lichty.
the retirement resignation
of Barbara Runyon.

the 2013-14 school year for San-
dra Freeman, 120 days; Rebecca

ance through June 30, 2014, in
the amount of $8,664.

ministrative assistant at Thomas

tract for 192 days at $304 per
day.
employing Tillman Karl as
