New facility for ODOT
PAULDING The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) District 1 announced July 7 it will construct a new Paulding County maintenance garage, ending the current
facilitys 37 years in operation.
The new garage will be built at
833 W. Wayne St. in Paulding, the
same location as the current Paulding
County garage. Construction of the
new building is slated to begin Aug.
1 and is expected to be completed in a
year and a half.
Employees of the Paulding County
garage will be working out of a temporary location at 356 W. Wall St. in
Paulding until the construction is completed.
$8.5 million garage to begin construction Aug. 1
A new outpost in Hicksville will

also be constructed as part of the same
contract and will be located next to the
Hicksville High School on Ohio 2/49.
It will replace the current facility located on Ohio 18 on Hicksvilles east side.
Estimated cost of construction of
the Paulding County garage is $8.5
million. Estimated construction cost
of the outpost is $3.5 million.
The design firm for both is Garmann Miller of Minster. General contractor is Touchstone/Tuttle Construction, Lima. (See drawings Page 2A)
Due to the advancement in technol-
ogy and equipment, the current garage

built in 1978 is no longer efficient in
meeting the needs that ODOT has
when it comes to roadway maintenance and snow and ice operations.
Newer style loaders are much
larger than the old ones and many of
the new four-lane highways in the
district require tandem dump trucks
which are also much larger than the
dump trucks at the time the garage
was constructed, said Kirk Slusher,
ODOT District 1 deputy director.
The planned garage will allow
for more truck storage, an upgraded
above ground fuel system as well as a

decanting station which is required by
the Environmental Protection Agency
for dumping catch basin waste.
Within the plans is also an expanded
mechanics area that will allow the
mechanics the space needed to work
on large equipment. A new twotruck wash bay will also be added.
Currently, the garage does not have
a wash bay and as a result the trucks
are washed in the truck storage area,
which is detrimental to the structure of
the building.
A salt dome, pole barn, equipment
storage building and fuel island will

also be constructed.
Were looking forward to working
out of an updated facility which will
support us in providing good service
to Paulding County. We appreciate the
investment the state of Ohio is making locally and specifically in our operations, said Ross Laukhuf, county
manager at the Paulding County
ODOT garage.
The Hicksville outpost will feature
five truck bays, a 2,000-ton salt storage facility, a truck wash bay and a
decanting station. The facility will primarily serve the winter operations for
both the Defiance and Paulding County maintenance crews.

Safe
Routes
to School
projects
By JOE SHOUSE
Progress Staff Writer
PAULDING In addition
to high water caution signs,
flooding and occasional street
closings, Emerald Road has
had its share of activity this
summer.
The Safe Routes to School
project has battled the rain
and storms, but the goal of
having the project completed by the start of school still
stands with hopes of cooperating weather.
The Emerald Road sidewalk is installed and all we
have left to do is some backfilling, said Corey Howell,
project supervisor from VTF
Excavation. We need some
decent weather. We are fighting the rain and it has caused
us to be at least two weeks behind. But, we are confident to
have the project completed by
the start of school, although
it really depends upon the
weather.
Since 2010, when Councilman Randy Daeger reported meeting with the street
committee and sharing with
them a wish list of projects,
including the Safe Routes to
School, the project has slowly
materialized to being nearly
completed.
The sidewalks are five feet
wide, according to Howell.
However, in some isolated
spots the width may be reduced to four feet due to obstacles of various kinds.
A second part of the project
will be emphasized on Water
Street on the west side of the

PAULDING Richard
Hodges, Office of the Director of the Ohio Department
of Health, was in Paulding
first thing Monday morning to
meet with local health director Bill Edwards and Paulding County Board of Health
members Dr. Joseph Kuhn,
Dr. Larry Fishbaugh and Ron
Schmidt.
Hodges spoke in support of
local first responder training,
available data sources on the
state level, infant mortality issues and especially problems
with drug abuse.
We have data sources that
can provide information on
heroin usage, other drug usage
and different disease patterns
in the county, said Hodges.
Through tracking zip codes,
we can also see what diseases
are prevalent in different parts
of the county.
Concerning infant mortality, Hodges said that Ohio
health officials are finally getting a grip on many of the ongoing problems.
The sad irony of it all is
that in the shadow of some of
the worlds greatest childrens
hospitals, children have less of
a chance, observed Hodges.
Drug users are the worst
problem right now, continued Hodges. We are seeSee HEALTH, page 2A

More mosquitoes means higher risk of West Nile virus

COLUMBUS Ohio is experiencing a rise in mosquitoes
this summer due to heavy rains.
Mosquito pools from five local health jurisdictions across
the state have tested positive
thus far for the West Nile virus
(WNV): Columbus (1), Franklin County (1), Richland County (1), Summit County (3), and
Licking County (2).
To date, no human cases of
West Nile virus have been reported. For 2014, Ohio had 11
confirmed cases of West Nile
virus in people.
The primary way people get
the West Nile virus is when
someone is bitten by an infected
mosquito. Most people infected
with WNV will have no symptoms. About one in five people
who are infected with WNV
will develop a fever with other
symptoms such as headache,
body aches, joint pains, vomiting, diarrhea, or rash. Less than
1% of infected people develop a
serious neurologic illness, such
as encephalitis or meningitis
(inflammation of the brain or

surrounding tissues).
Rains have caused standing
water in many areas of Ohio,
and mosquitoes breed and multiply in such water. Floodwater
species such as Aedes vexans
can become extremely abundant under such conditions.
These positive tests in mosquitoes for West Nile virus are
a good reminder that arbovirus
season is under way and individuals should take precautions
use insect repellents, limit
exposure when mosquitoes are

active, and remove breeding
sources to protect themselves
and their families from mosquito bites, said ODH medical director Mary DiOrio, M.D.
There is more mosquito
activity now than weve seen
at this time of year for several
years but still much lower than
in our WNV outbreak years of
2002 and 2012.
Here are some tips to avoid
possible infection from mosquito bites:
ing heroin usage grow by 60

percent and more. Overdose
deaths are up and going higher.
Bill, we are going to reach
out to you folks locally in the
next couple of months; this
is a real problem, continued
Hodges. Public health is a
bris from ditches, cutting small

channels to help pooling water
drain, or filling in holes and tire
ruts with dirt.
Keep childrens wading
pools empty and on their sides
when they arent being used.
Empty standing water from
flowerpots, gutters, buckets,
pool covers, pet water dishes,
discarded tires, and birdbaths.
Learn more about mosquitoes
and the West Nile Virus on the
ODH website at; www.odh.
ohio.gov/wnv..
Dont drive distracted
n HEALTH
Continued from Page 1A
Wear EPA-registered mosquito repellents whenever mosquitoes are present and follow
label instructions.
Wear long, loose, light-colored clothing.
Install or repair screens
on windows and doors to keep
mosquitoes outside.
Here are some tips to help reduce mosquito breeding around
your home:
Remove temporary pools
of water around your house
and yard. Include clearing de-
local effort based on social

justice.
Kuhn and Fishbaugh both
agreed that heroin is a big
problem in Paulding County.
Those present agreed that
some medications are drying
up but the big question is how
to dry up heroin because of its

lack of cost these days.
A lot of this filters down
from Hollywood and movies, said Fishbaugh. Another
problem that is showing up is
hepatitis C.
Other local health board
concerns included costs of

septic systems and sewage
systems to local residents.
Hodges praised Edwards
for Paulding Countys solid
health department and its involvement with Defiance,
Fulton, Henry, Putnam and
Williams counties through the
sharing of a Six Pack Public
Health Emergency Grant.
Its back to the pillars of
public health, said Hodges.
Those include transition
programs to Medicaid and
wrapping people in health
insurance, infectious disease
control, emergency preparedness and recognizing health
and wellness, environmental
health such as air and water
quality, equity and access to
physicians and regulatory
initiative with nursing homes
and ambulatory service.
The Ohio State Highway

Patrol is reminding drivers to
keep their eyes and focus on the
roadway while driving. In 2014,
17,827 crashes in Ohio had a reported distraction, including 44
fatal crashes. In 2015, just under
half of the fatal crashes in Northwest Ohio can be attributed to
some sort of distraction.
For example, sending or receiving a text message takes a
drivers eyes off the road for
an average of 4.6 seconds, the
equivalent of driving the length
of an entire football field when
traveling at 55 mph.
Distracted driving is more than
just texting, it is any non-driving
activity that has potential to distract a person from the primary
task of driving and increase the
risk of crashing. Distractions can
be visual, taking eyes off of the
road; manual, taking hands off
the wheel; or cognitive, taking
the mind off driving. Texting

while driving is an example that
results in all three types of distraction.
The Findlay District is beginning a month-long campaign involving education, engineering,
and enforcement to address the
problem of distracted driving in
northwest Ohio. Public service
announcements, cooperative efforts with the Ohio Department
of Transportation, and focused
enforcement efforts will be occurring.
Every time someone takes
their eyes or their focus off the
road even for just a few seconds they put their lives and
the lives of others in danger,
said Captain B.G. Smith, Findlay District commander.

together to complete the project, hopefully before the start

of school, said Howell.
Federal funding for the
project was announced back
on April 4, 2011 when village
administrator Harry Wiebe
told council ODOT had approved a $510,294 grant for

the Safe Routes to Schools.
Later, on May 21, 2012
a grant for phase two of the
project was approved in the
amount of $499,000.

Empty space when a child leaves

home even just for a vacation
Oh my! I am running late

getting this column out this
week. It seems like one week
after another goes by bringing
us closer to Elizabeths wedding date. I am trying to not
think of all that needs to be
done.
Elizabeth, 21, seems to be
slowly gaining her strength
back from having double
pneumonia. She is still coughing, so Im hoping she continues to get better and not
worse.
Yesterday she cut out Lovinas dress and Kevins pants
and shirt for the wedding. She
also sewed Lovinas dress.
The day before, she sewed
Verenas dress for the wedding. She had already sewn
Susan and Lorettas dresses.
The only dress we need to cut
out now is mine.
I keep telling myself every
day that I should get it sewn
before we get closer to the
wedding day. I surely dont
know what I would have done
if Elizabeth didnt help out
with all the sewing. She is a
fast seamstress.
Susan, 19, hasnt been home
since last Friday. She went
with Moses family on a fishing trip almost 500 miles from
here. We all miss her. It seems
with only one of the children
not home, it makes such an
empty space. We talked with
her for a few minutes several
times when she called home.
She said she is having a great
time but misses home.
Since Benjamin helps Mose
with his sawmill, he doesnt
have to work this week. Benjamin and Joseph, 12, have
been getting things done outside that Joe wants done before the wedding.
Benjamin is excited for his
upcoming birthday. He will
turn 16 on Tuesday, July 14.
At age 16 in our community, they join the youth group,

so hes extra excited for this
birthday.
Verena, 17, and Lovina, 11,
were helping watch a booth for
a lady at the flea market yesterday. Loretta, 15, was home,
deep cleaning her bedroom.
That meant that only two of
my five girls were home. As
mentioned, Elizabeth was
sewing and I did the laundry,
and then helped Loretta clean.
I washed the ceiling and upper
walls with the wall mop. Overhead work like that is hard for
her to do. She was really worn
out last night. She doesnt let
her handicap keep her down,
but she gets frustrated at times
when she sees what the other girls can do that she cant.
God makes no mistakes, so we
put our trust in Him.
A reader asked what we do
with all the dresses we sew for
all these weddings. We wear
them to church or other weddings where we dont have a
special role to fill. Another
wedding invitation is posted
on our refrigerator for Lyle
and Leah. Congratulations!
Lyles dad is Joes cousin,
Willis. He lost his wife to cancer several years ago. Leahs
dad, Ernest, is my cousin.
To all my Coblentz relatives
that read my column I hope
you will have a nice day at the
reunion on Saturday. We had
hoped to come but it doesnt
look like we will have time.
Maybe next year!

Ive had numerous readers
ask where they can send wedding cards for Timothy and
Elizabeth. You can send them
to the same address as my
mail, but address it to them.
Do not feel like you have to,
but I do not want to take the
joy away from those readers
that want to personally congratulate them. God bless you
for your thoughtfulness!

PAULDING Three area churches will be combining their

efforts to put on a Vacation Bible School this summer in Paulding. First Presbyterian, St. Paul Lutheran and the Nazarene
church are working together to present the Next Level Bible
School.
The Bible school will consist of sports camps, including basketball, soccer, baseball, cheerleading, and also recreational
games. There will also be a cooking track as well as a preschool track. Each night, there will be a different Bible character studied. These include David, Esther, and others.
Each night, students will learn more about who God wants
them to be as well as sharpen their skills in their respective
sports. Its called Next Level because its important for kids to
take their sports skills to the next level as well as their walk
with Jesus.
The three churches are really excited to see what God will do
as they work together for their community. Next Level Vacation
Bible School will be held at the Nazarene church, 210 Dooley
Dr. in Paulding.
Next Level camp will run July 20-24 with a start time of 6
p.m. and ending at 8:30 p.m.
July 24 will be a Family Fun Night where parents, grandparents, and other family members are invited to see and hear
what has happened throughout the week. Family Fun Night
will include games, food, and prizes. It will also be from 6-8:30
p.m.
Each night, there will be a competition to collect the most
non-perishable food items as well as personal hygiene items.
The kids will be divided up into teams and the team with the
most collected items will win a prize! All items will be donated
to the the local Caring and Sharing Food Pantry.

Straighten the
Flat Rock Creek
Dear Editor,
There is a partial solution to
the flood problem or at least a
helping one. My family has had
the farm on the Indiana side
of the state line where the Flat
Rock Creek flows through on
its way to the Auglaize River.
It makes its way with curves,
trees down across it, brush and
other impediments on the way.
In the 1930s Indiana dredged
it from where it comes in from
Ohio, south of Decatur, Ind. to
the state line at our farm. My
dad told me they had an agreement with Ohio that they would
take it on to the Auglaize River
which is at our farm on the state

line, about the half way of the

length of the Flat Rock.
We have about 20 acres of
creek bottom which we used
to put out in crops. The last 20
years the creek has got so cluttered from our place on east we
was paying taxes on land which
was unproductive due to being
swamp because the water on
one end backs up at the state
line on our land. We have to
put in a nature preserve to keep
from paying taxes on land that
is basically under water.
I know every time they put it
on the ballot it gets voted down.
Maybe some time, after more
damage they will dredge it on.
I think it would be cheaper than
the money lost in crops and
flood damage in Payne, Paulding and every where the Flat
Rock River flows in Ohio with

a little straightening. It probably wont help us anymore but
would surely help people in
Ohio.

Commissioners Journal June 10, 2015
This 10th day of June, 2015, the Board of
County Commissioners met in regular session with the following members present:
Roy Klopfenstein, Mark Holtsberry, and
Nola Ginter, Clerk. Absent: Tony Zartman.

MEETING NOTES OF APPOINTMENTS
Jim Langham, Paulding Progress - Commissioner Holtsberry reported the Paulding
County Wall of Honor is now completed
and on the wall in the rotunda of the courthouse. He worked with Melinda Krick
(Paulding Progress), Jon Lichty (Veterans
Services), and Al Welch (Welch Trophies)
to create the memorial to Paulding Countys
fallen veterans. Commissioner Holtsberry
noted there will be a dedication ceremony on
Friday, June 19 in the courthouse rotunda.
Sheriff Jason Landers reported he continues to work on reinstating the DARE program
in Paulding County. He is passionate about
getting the program up and running again in
the countys schools.
Landers presented his budget for May,
which sparked some discussion about vehicles and possible replacements for older
models. He referred to a vehicle listing, stating there were some 2008 vehicles with a lot
of miles that may need to be considered for
trade/replacement, Although Sheriffs Office
vehicles have been purchased for the last several years, Landers stated he may consider
leasing.
He then distributed Captain Clines Paulding County Sheriff report. This report tracks
inmates and their days incarcerated, numbers
kept in Paulding Countys Temporary Holding Facility (THF), and number of trips/miles
in transporting inmates to Putnam County for
out-housing. During the month of May, 35
male and 12 female inmates (47 total) served
a total of 448 days at the Putnam County Jail.
The average stay for an inmate was 9.3 days.

stones at all veterans gravesites. There are a
lot of veteran gravesites that have either never
had a stone, the stones have been vandalized,
or acts of nature (storm or flooding) have destroyed them.
Niki Warncke, MVPO, chaired the second
public hearing for PY 2015 CDBG Community Development Program. In attendance
were Dan Thomas (Brown Township); Bill
Strahley and Dennis Sanderson (Jackson
Township); Roy Klopfenstein, Mark Holtsberry and Nola Ginter (Commissioners Office); and Ryan Shrack, MVPO.
Warncke presented the tabulation of the 11
applications/requests received for the grant
dollars. Paulding County has been allocated
$75,000, of which $15,000 is set aside for administration and Fair Housing costs, leaving
$60,000 available for projects.
Three projects were selected, being:
Jackson Township street improvements
($10,000), Brown Township street improvements ($10,000), and Village of Oakwood,
water facilities ($20,000).
The Village of Grover Hill had requested
$20,000 to add to their request for $280,000
from the Critical Infrastructure grant for Main
Street improvements. Warncke explained
that the Village of Grover Hills request for
CDBG funds would give them points toward receiving the Critical Infrastructure
grant. She further explained that if the Village
of Grover Hill does not receive the Critical
Infrastructure grant, the $20,000 in CDBG
dollars may be redistributed to another applicant. Warncke informed the group she feels
confident that each of the chosen projects
will meet the criteria and will receive the
grant dollars requested. CDBG projects will
need to be completed by December 31, 2016.
The Critical Infrastructure grant will not be
awarded by the state until the end of July or
early August. If the Village of Grover Hill receives this grant, all projects will have until
August 31, 2017 to be completed.
Jerry Zielke, Economic Development,
presented his directors report for March and
April. He has been very busy meeting with
various companies for potential new businesses and growth for existing businesses
in Paulding County. He has been working
with Focus Hotel group in Fort Wayne for a
potential project in the Antwerp Commons.
Zielke was also excited to announce that Cooper Farms and Herbert Orr Company will be
expanding.
He reminded the commissioners of the InSite Consulting community visit next Tuesday, June 16, at the Economic Development
office. The Community Team and AEP are
invited to attend. Zielke noted there are several projects that are on the edge of being developed.

Life and the book

When I was a little school
girl, I would always get a lot
of books from the school library and I could get lost for
hours in a whole different
world. Back in those earlier
days (?) shhhhh, we did not
have television, computers.
iPads or iPhones.
Of course, I loved the Nancy Drew Mysteries; Little
House On the Prairie series,
and loved any kind of fairy
tale. One time I got a huge
Grimms fairy tale book for
Christmas and remember reading Hans Brinker and the Silver Skates in that big book. I
imagined myself as a princess
with a fairy godmother.
I believe that our own life is
like a book. Your name is the title and the preface is when and
how you arrived in the world.
Each page in your book of life
chronicles happiness, sadness,
tragedies, achievements, broken romances, the joys of winning and the fears of losing.
Each day is like a page in the
book and each day could bring
something good or a whole
new twist in life. In my own
book of life, I have experienced many twists and turns,
but it is always exciting to

Your Thoughts

Nancy Whitaker
see and live the next page of
my book to find out what lies
ahead.
On the pages of your book
of life there are many things
that you will remember forever. A chapter in your life may
be over, but will always be encrypted and filed away in our
mind.
One part of reading a good
book and comparing it to our
own lives, is that we really
dont want to lay it down. We
really dont want to know that
final chapter, but each day we
turn a whole new page.
A lot of us could probably
make an exciting movie out

of our lifes book. Some of
us deal with drama each day.
Pages may be filled with love,
marriage, hate, divorce, money. careers, hobbies, jealousy,
and so many other events and
situations fill up our books.
But, we must continue reading, because if you dont turn
a page, you wont get to know
what happens next.
It is funny how many things
we file in the back of our
minds from a certain page in
our book, but eventually you
will say, Oh I remember him
or her.
When relatives get together,
it is always fun to remember
past chapters and pages in our
lives.
It is nice to have memories
in our books, good or bad and
then move on to a brand new
chapter.
Life is like a book which is
a movie in your head, but in
real life the movie is you.

Is your life like a book? Are
you looking forward to turning the pages? Would your
book make a good movie? Let

In the
Garden
By
Kylee Baumle
not giving back and its why my
vegetable crops have been less
than stellar in recent years. This
year Im making a special effort
to replenish those nutrients that
the plants have taken and Im
vowing to be more diligent about
this in the future.
I have learned a thing or two
about gardening from a number
of sources my mom, Master
Gardener volunteer training,
scads of horticultural books
and magazines, other gardening friends, and loads of other
ways but Ive probably learned
the most from experience. No
one knows a particular garden
any better than its gardener and
working in a location year after
year imparts knowledge that we
often take for granted, it happens
so subtly.
Mistakes are made and lessons are taught, over and over
until we finally learn them,
only to go on to new ones. It is
a wonder though, how despite
some failures, we soldier on
and dont get so discouraged

Lots of new items each

shop with us and
that we give it up. In fact, we

take satisfaction in how far
weve come from where we
were and this is what motivates
us to continue pursuing our
gardening goals. Its like the
proverbial carrot dangling before us.
In about ten days, a number of
people will be visiting my gardens and I no doubt will be apologizing, as gardeners often do,
for my garden and its shortcomings. Well, maybe its more my
shortcomings than the gardens,
but still.
Ill likely make the usual excuses for why this doesnt look
good (even though so many other
things do) and Ill say how I wish
you could have seen it a few weeks
ago, when the (insert flower names
here) were blooming.
This wont be fair of me
though, because a garden has a
different season every week between last frost and first, and I
should be singing the praises of
whatever is showing off at any
given time. Its just one of Gods
gifts to us, to be able to enjoy the
garden so many months of the
year instead of Him giving it to
us in one fell swoop.
Like its gardener, the garden is a unique creation to be
celebrated, not because either
is perfect, but rather because
they arent. Theres value and
worth in it all. No apologies
necessary.

LOCATIONS WITH
REACHING INCONVENIENT
For some reason people who

have never been to my gardens
have the idea that theyre something fabulous and perfect. Apparently, because I blog about
gardening and write a weekly
newspaper column about gardening, people assume that Im
also a garden designer who has
used those talents to create a
magazine-worthy landscape.
Im here to tell you that
couldnt be further from the
truth. My gardens are the result of happenstance and the
lets-see-where-I-can-stuff-that
method of gardening. As time
goes on, Ive learned to rein in
my plant enthusiasm a bit, but
Im still very much a collector
and all bets are off if I happen to
wander into a garden center.
My garden is not immaculately weeded, most especially
this year, what with all the rain
and the resulting mosquitoes.
Even though the soggy soil
makes the weeds easier to pull,
Im a prime target for the hordes
of mosquitoes just waiting to
suck the life right out of me. I
normally like to weed, but that
just isnt my idea of a good time,
so the weeds persist.
While Im confessing my
shortcomings, I have to mention
my gardening laziness. Oh, Im
not altogether a lazy person, nor
am I completely slack with regards to taking care of my plants.
For example, I love to deadhead
more than just about anything,
but I hate to feed my plants and
many times just dont.
Theres a price to pay for continually taking from the soil and

Farmers being asked to

monitor water quality
By Sarah Noggle
OSU Extension Educator
PAULDING Ohio State University Extension is asking farmers in the Maumee River
Basin to help with a water monitoring research
project looking at dissolved reactive phosphorus (DRP) losses from fields.
Increases in DRP in the watershed have
been tied to increased occurrences of harmful
algal blooms in Lake Erie. The data collected
will help better quantify actual losses from an
economic and environmental standpoint, leading to tools that can target high risk fields so
cost effective best management practices can
be designed that maintain crop productivity
while reducing phosphorus losses.
This project gives a farmer the chance to
find out how much dissolved reactive phosphorus (DRP) in pounds per acre is leaving
their field site, based on their crop production
system. Farmers will be provided their individual data plus summary data for all sites in
the project. The data will be used to understand what conditions lead to DRP loss and
what recommend best management practices
(BMPs) can be used to reduce nutrient loss.
A plastic water sampling disk is placed at
the end of field tile or within drainage water
management structures during two periods of
the year, September to December and March
to June. The sample devices are changed out
every 4-5 weeks during each sample period.
A standard soil test analysis will be provided
as well. There is no cost to the farmer for the
2014 Farm Bill: Dont

forget enrollment deadlines
By Sarah Noggle
OSU Extension Educator
PAULDING As I educated farmers and landowners
over the winter months on the
ins and outs of the 2014 Farm
Bill, I made comparisons to
the process of buying a new
vehicle. We started with the
process of thinking about
buying a new car. The second
was checking out the different dealerships and vehicle
options as well as pricing the
vehicle. Those two steps have
passed and now we are on the
third step of buying the new
vehicle with the options we
had selected. We could compare the process to researching the 2014 Farm Bill and
comparing PLC, ARC-CO
and ARC-IC to step one. The
second step was selecting the
specific program of choice,
certifying yields and base
acres or the sign-up process.
We are now at the third step
of enrolling into the program.
Many farmers are under
the belief that they have completed all the necessary steps
needed to complete the signup for the 2014 Farm Bill programs. They made the yield
update and base acre reallocation decisions and then they
made the ARC/PLC decision
for each farm. So what decision is left to make? Just as
it has been in previous years,
farmers still need to enroll in
the Farm Bill program. The

Coverage and Price Loss
Coverage (ARC/PLC) programs, marketing assistance
loan program, and loan deficiency payment program.
Acreage reports are also required to establish eligibility
for the Conservation Reserve
Program (CRP), Noninsured
Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP) and Livestock
Disaster Assistance Programs. Filing an accurate and
timely report can prevent loss
of program benefits under
these programs.
The final reporting date for
2015 crop year wheat was
December 15, 2014. The final reporting date for all other crops is July 15, 2015. If
a crop has NAP coverage it
must be reported within 15
calendar days of the onset of
harvest. Please make an appointment or visit the county
office to timely complete the
crop certification process.
The late file fee is $46 per
farm for reports filed after the
final reporting dates.

enrollment window has been

open since June 17 and will
end Sept. 30.
The concern is, if farmers
do not know, they have one
more paper to sign at FSA;
therefore, they will lose out
on any potential benefits, especially since this enrollment
period will include both 2014
and 2015. If farmers do not
enroll their farms, then all the
previous decisions on reallocations, updates, and program
choice were all for nothing.
Also if landowners or farmers
choose not to update yield, reallocate base acres, and make
a program election, they can
still enroll a farm into the
new farm bill program. These
farms would simply keep
their existing yields and bases
and will default to Price Loss
Coverage (PLC) as their program choice.
Farmers are encouraged to
contact Farm Services Agency and make an appointment
to enroll their farm(s) into
the 2014 farm bill programs.
Also do not forget to certify
your 2015 planted acres with
FSA. This is important to
maintain the farm history, to
determine farm bill payments
under ARC-Individual, and
provide information for future farm bill programs.
Producers must report all
crops and land uses for all
cropland on the farm to be
eligible for program benefits

water or soil sampling.

The primary field selection recommendation is that drainage water sampled should
only include water from the farm practices
being done by the cooperating farmer. Shared
field mains that include multiple farmer managements, road drainage, household water
drainage or other areas not under control of
the farmer should not be used. The field main
should drain five or more acres. There is no
upper limit to field size as long as the drainage area is known and the field area drained
is under the control of the cooperating farmer.
The end of the field main tile or a drainage
control structure on the main tile should be
accessible for deploying samplers.
Field management information by date for
tillage, fertilizer applications and crop cover
planting that occur in the three months prior
to sampling through when the last sample is
pulled out will be collected. This data is extremely valuable to understand how practices
influence the water quality results.
More details on the sampling project as well
as a signup link can be found at http://go.osu.
edu/farmerwaterproject or contact Sarah Noggle, Paulding County Extension Educator Agriculture and Natural Resources n o g gle.17@osu.edu or Greg LaBarge labarge.1@
osu.edu.
Please sign up by Sept. 1 to participate in the
first sampling period. For additional questions,
one can walk in the OSU Extension Office at

What Happens to My
IRA After Im Gone?
By Phil Recker
Edward Jones Advisor
Contributing to an IRA can
help you build some of the resources you will need to enjoy
a comfortable retirement. But
what happens to your IRA
if you dont use it up in your
lifetime?
You can still put the IRAs
assets to good use as long as
youve made the right moves
and communicated your wishes clearly to your family.
When you opened your
IRA, you should have named
a beneficiary someone who
will receive the IRA assets
when you pass away. You
could also name a contingent
beneficiary if the first beneficiary dies before you. These
beneficiary designations are
important because they can
supersede the instructions left
in your will.
If you name your spouse as
beneficiary of your IRA, he or
she has options unavailable to
other beneficiaries. Here are
two possibilities:
Roll over assets into a new
or an existing IRA Your sur-
viving spouse can roll over

your IRAs assets into his or
her IRA or use the money to
create a new IRA. And, as
long as your spouse is eligible, he or she can then add
new contributions to the IRA.
This could be a good choice
if your spouse wont need the
money right away and would
like to keep it in a tax-advantaged account for as long as
possible. Upon reaching age
7012, though, your spouse
will likely need to start taking
withdrawals (required minimum distributions), unless
the inherited IRA was a Roth
IRA.
Convert the assets to a
Roth IRA If you are leaving a traditional IRA to your
spouse, he or she could roll
over the assets into a new
or an existing IRA and then
convert the assets into a Roth
IRA. This move gives your
spouse at least two potential
advantages. First, if certain
requirements are met, no taxes are due on the withdrawals.
Second, as mentioned above,
no withdrawals are even required your spouse can leave
the money intact for as long as
desired. However, taxes will
be due on the amount converted to a Roth, so this conversion may only make sense if
your spouse has enough assets
available in a nonretirement
account to pay the tax bill.
Thus far, weve just talked
about your spouse as the beneficiary. But what might happen
if youve named someone else
perhaps a child or grandchild
as the primary beneficiary
of your IRA? In this case, the
beneficiary wont have the op-

tion of rolling over the IRA.

Instead, he or she can either
take the money as a lump sum
or take distributions over time.
If you pass away before age
7012, and you hadnt started
taking the required minimum
distributions, your beneficiary
must start taking withdrawals
by Dec. 31 in the year following the year in which you
pass away. These withdrawals
can be stretched out over your
beneficiarys lifetime, though,
spreading out the tax obligations. As an alternative, your
beneficiary can delay taking
distributions, but he or she
would need to withdraw all
the money within five years of
your death.
When dealing with any aspect of your estate plans, including naming beneficiaries
for your IRA, youll want to
consult with your tax and legal professionals. You put a lot
of time and effort into building the assets in your IRA so
youll also want to take care
in how you pass these assets
along.

The purpose of
flood plains
By Staci Miller
Education specialist
Paulding SWCD
As Mother Nature continues
to dump many inches of rain on
Paulding County and surrounding areas, flooding is becoming
a frequent event. Once the rivers, creeks and streams reach
maximum capacity the excess
water must go somewhere.
The excess water goes into a
designated floodplain. Floodplains are low, flat, periodically flooded lands adjacent
to rivers, creeks and streams.
They provide temporary storage space for floodwaters and
sediment produced by the watershed.
Floodplains serve many
different purposes. When
left undisturbed in a natural
state, floodplains store water
and dissipate floods without
adverse impacts on humans,
buildings, roads and other
infrastructure. Without floodplain access, which serves the

essential purposes of slowing floodwaters and storing
sediment, stream banks are
subjected to the full power of
flood flows, leading to extensive damage and erosion.
Water quality is improved
in areas where natural floodplain cover acts as a filter to
remove impurities from runoff and overbank flows. Natural floodplains moderate water
temperature, reducing the possibility of adverse impacts on
aquatic plants and animals.
Floodplains provide habitat
for diverse species of plants
and animals, some of which
cannot live anywhere else.
They are particularly important
as mating and feeding areas.
Floodplain management is a
continuous process of making
decisions about whether and
how floodplain lands and wa-
Blue Creek out of its bank west of US 127.

ters are to be used. It encompasses the choices made by
owners of floodplain homes
and businesses, decisions
made by officials at all levels
of government, development
plans made by owners of commercial flood-prone land, and
the judgment of farmers with
pastures and fields stretching

to the riverbanks.
There are many different
programs and options available to landowners in floodplains. Please feel free to
contact the Paulding Soil and
Water Conservation with any
questions about floodplain
Common traits of successful people
By Byron McNutt
DHI Media
If you have a child, grandchild or a family friend graduating from high school or college
this commencement season,
they might ask you: What does
it take in todays world to be successful?
Martin Buxbaum once said,
You can use almost any measure when youre speaking of
success. You can measure it in
a fancy home, expensive car or
dress. But the measure of your
real success is one you cannot
spend. Its the way your son (or
daughter) describes you when
hes (shes) talking to a friend.
You might also start out by
telling them it takes passion,
perseverance and perspiration.
Thats what Joan Lloyd, a Milwaukee-based executive coach,
author, consultant and speaker, said 20 years ago (June 11,
1995) in a Milwaukee Sentinel
column. Her research on the
subject found some common
denominators that transcend
each person and each generation
of successful people.
Lloyd poured over a list of
special qualities of successful
people and found the following
17 characteristics that were most
compelling. You might want to
share them with your loved ones
as they begin the next leg of

lifes journey.
1. They are survivors. They
have experienced disappointment
and setbacks, yet they always find
a way to bounce back. They are
truly resilient and courageous.
2. They make the most of opportunities they are given and
create their own opportunities
where there are none. They seek
the crack in the wall or the way
over the fence instead of complaining about unfairness or
giving up.
3. They look for ways to
add value. Doing enough isnt
enough for them. They go beyond the minimum and exceeded expectations. No one demands it of them they demand
it of themselves.
4. They ignore critics. They
look for ways to keep dreams
alive and hopes on fire. Their
strength comes from a depth of
character and a singular focus
on their goals. They even use
their critics words to spur themselves on.
5. They continually improve
themselves. Despite family
commitments and professional
and volunteer activities, they are
willing to develop themselves.
They arent looking for anything
to be handed to them just because of gender, race or position.
6. They have a vision...no,

a passion. Their unswerving
commitment to a greater good
is their compass. They dont
shrink from the hard work and
perseverance required to make
their vision a reality.
7. They are selfless. Hard
work and long hours are easier
to pour out when they benefit
you. They are harder to sustain
if they are for the good of others.
In every case, they work tirelessly, in their own ways, to make
their world a better place.
8. They never give up. Im
sure they have their moments,
but they are able to reach down
deep and find that extra reserve,
that hidden stash of personal energy and commitment.
9. They help others grow.
They dont build their own
success by using others. They
know that if they can help their
colleagues to be successful, they
will succeed.
10. They create synergy. Their
accomplishments are achieved
by bringing out the best in others and encouraging them to do
more than they thought possible.
11. They need to make a difference. They want to build a
better reality for the future and
they arent content with whats
been done in the past.
12. They have guts. When it
would be easier to sit back and

wait for someone else to act,
they muster the courage of their
convictions and raise their hand.
13. They have strong values.
They respect the dignity of other
people, act with honesty and integrity, and communicate openly and truthfully.
14. They dont believe in luck.
They create their own at the intersection of opportunity and
preparation.
15. They recognize the need
for balance. They are torn in
many directions but seem to
be able to keep their priorities
straight.
16. They create their own
definition of success. Some are
company presidents, others
have never worked at a paying
job, yet each person is confident
in his or her success. They arent governed by other peoples
should.
17. Lloyd says successful people like being a role model for
others and take it seriously. They
know their families and communities are watching, and they
are mindful that they are setting
an example and redefining roles
for the next generation.
We need to thank successful people and admire them for
holding up the light and leading
the way, Lloyd said.

Its very important for people to understand how important floodplains are and to use
caution when building in a
floodplain as well as using it
for agricultural land.
Funding available to
Lake Erie basin farmers
COLUMBUS Funding will be available through the Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP), providing
$17.5 million from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to help protect water quality in the western basin
of Lake Erie. The five-year RCPP agreement was signed on
Friday, May 1, and is now ready to assist farmers in installing
a variety of best management practices that will keep nutrients
on fields and improve water quality.
Program enrollment officially kicked off for Ohio, Michigan
and Indiana farmers in designated watersheds on Wednesday,
July 1, and runs through Friday, July 17. Farmers will be able
to sign up at their local USDA Service Center.
This multi-state project includes more than 40 collaborating public and private sector organizations with representation
from Ohio, Michigan and Indiana, state and local governments,
as well as nonprofit entities, universities and private sector businesses.These organizations have committed resources to leverage $17.5 million in federal funds by contributing more than
$28 million to the programs for the reduction of phosphorus
and sediment to improve water quality in the Western Lake Erie
Basin.
Project partners recommended USDAs Natural Resources
Conservation Service (NRCS) conservation practices and innovative demonstration practices that farmers can apply for
through the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP)
and the Agricultural Conservation Easement Program (ACEP).
The financial and technical assistance available through these
programs support conservation practices that protect soil health,
water quality and quantity, as well as prevent fish and wildlife
habitat degradation.Nutrient management practices such as
cover crops, drainage water management structures, blind tile
inlets, placement of phosphorus below the soil surface using
variable rate technology (VRT) and animal waste management
are the primary conservation focus available through these programs.
The targeted approach focuses efforts on the 855,000acres
that have been identified as the most critical areas to treat within
the larger seven million acre watershed.This new RCPP project
expands access to public and private technical assistance, new
and ongoing innovative conservation practices and expertise for
modeling and evaluating outcomes to farmers in these critical
sub-watersheds.
Informational brochures will be distributed to raise awareness of this important multi-year project and encourage farmers
and landowners to participate in the new conservation program.
Agricultural producers in the Western Lake Erie Basin are eligible to apply at wleb.org or they can visit their local USDA
Service Center.
