Fifth year for ALS Miles for Mills fundraiser
See PAULDING, page 2A
Phillip Perl, James Wright Sr.,

Mills, Peggy Lorden and Blake

also given in honor of survivor Bob

Lou Gehrigs Disease is a progres-
sive neurodegenerative disease that
affects nerve cells in the brain and
spinal cord. Motor neurons reach
from the brain to the spinal cord and
from the spinal cord to the muscles
throughout the body.
The progressive degeneration of
the motor neurons in ALS eventually
leads to their death. When the motor
neurons die, the ability of the brain to
initiate and control muscle move-
ment is lost.
By JIM LANGHAM
Feature Writer
PAYNE For the past five years,
members of the Mills family in the
Payne area have spearheaded
fundraisers to assist in research for
ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis)
also known as Lou Gehrigs Disease.
Several members of the family have
died from the incurable disease over
the years.
Edie Mills, who helps distribute
the donations, said that the fundrais-
ers have averaged $5,000 a year and
has collected over $25,000 in a five-
year period. Of that amount, $12,000
has gone directly to research and the
rest has gone to purchase supplies
and assist with needs of those who
are currently sick with the disease.
It is such a puzzling disease, said
LeeAnn Hook. It takes the body but
the mind is clear to the end.
This years event will take place
this Saturday at the American Legion
in Payne. The benefit will open at 9
a.m. and include a poker run at 10
a.m., walk at 11 a.m., silent auction,
bake sale and food on donation basis
which includes sloppy joes, cream
chicken sandwiches, potato salad and
baked beans.
Hook noted that each individual
who attends is asked to bring a lot-
tery ticket as a donation in order to
get in. The events will go until 6 p.m.
Representatives from the ALS
Central Southern Association of
Ohio will be present.
We keep a certain amount of
money out to give to the walk in Fort
Wayne, said Mills. That money
helps them purchase walkers and
things that they need.
Much of the research money is sent
to the research clinic at Northwestern
University in Evanston, Ill., where
there is a specialization of ALS re-
search.
Mills said that it was 75 years ago
that Lou Gehrig gave his well-known
speech about the disease. That same
year, Hooks grandfather, Ledwell
Alexander Mills, also died from
ALS.
This years Miles for Mills is con-
ducted in memory of the following
individuals who have passed from
the disease, many of them from
Paulding County and/or members of
the Mills family: Esther Woods, Ruth
Brown, John Thomas, George Mills,
Craig McCloud (youngest at 27),
Melinda Krick/Paulding County Progress
RAINY REFLECTIONS Rain covered this area Monday and Tuesday, reportedly bringing up to five inches of precipitation
around Payne. A National Weather Service map indicated that up to three inches fell southeast of Payne. The Paulding water
plant recorded .14 inch as of 7:30 a.m. Tuesday. The NWS issued an urban and small stream flood advisory Monday evening
for Defiance and Paulding counties in Ohio and parts of Allen County, Ind. After a downpour, a reflection of the courthouse
in a water puddle was a distraction while waiting for a traffic light. The photo is printed upside down.
Financial woes of postal system
will impact local post offices
By NANCY WHITAKER
Correspondent
The United States Postal System has
been struggling with financial woes for
quite some time. According to a notice
sent to the Scott and Latty Post Offices,
meetings are scheduled to access their
situations and possible solutions. Can
these long time post offices survive
with shorter hours or should there be a
discontinuance study done?
Postal customers received surveys
with questions on them about the cur-
rent situation and the options available.
If any resident did not get one, they are
still available at the post offices.
The Latty and Scott Post Office
meetings are on July 15. Lattys meet-
ing is scheduled for noon and Scotts
for 2 p.m.
If residents want to be heard, please
attend these meetings and help decide
the best solution.
Local management officials will be
there to explain the survey results and
said, We will not make a final decision
until after the public meeting.
According to the notices, which are
posted at the post office, there are four
options available.
Option 1: Keep the post offices
open based on the actual office work-
load. The hours for Scott would be cut
from 7.5 hours per day to four hours.
The current Saturday hours would be
the same and the access to the local re-
ceptacle would not be impacted. In
Latty, the hours would be reduced from
7.75 hours down to two hours.
Option 2: Do a discontinuance
study and offer roadside mailbox deliv-
ery and a rural carrier will handle the
retail and delivery.
Option 3: Have a discontinuance
study and see if a local business would
meet the criteria. These local establish-
ments would be contracted through the
U.S. Postal Service and would offer
stamps and mail supplies.
Option 4: Do a study on discontin-
uance and relocate the P.O. Box servic-
es to another nearby location.
In May 2012, plans were announced
that would hopefully achieve signifi-
cant cost savings to get the organization
back to financial stability. At that time,
following meetings and research, it was
disclosed that offices in Paulding
County would be affected by the cost
savings. Receiving cuts were Grover
Hill, Haviland, Melrose and Cecil.
They had modified retail hours to
match customer use.
At the same time, the U.S. Postal
Service announced it would be modify-
ing retail window hours in some loca-
tions. At that time, Latty and Scott were
listed as under consideration for reduc-
ing daily window hours Latty from
eight hours to two, and Scott from eight
hours to four; however, they kept the
same hours.
The postal system has been suffering
from financial difficulties for a number
of years. With online bill pay, online
banking, email, online shopping, greet-
ing cards and much more, customers do
not use the postal service as often as
they once did.
The U.S. Postal Service maintains a
retail network of more than 31,000 post
offices and is the only delivery system
Staff Photo/Paulding County Progress
The Scott Post Office (above) and the Latty Post Office may
see window hours cut back. Residents are invited to public
meetings July 15 to consider future options.
Vacant
hotel lot
to go up
for sale
again
By BILL SHERRY
Correspondent
PAULDING The old
Hotel Barnes property has
been an item of concern and
controversy for some time
now, but soon the property
may actually get sold.
At a Paulding Village
Council meeting on May 5,
village solicitor Mike Jones
advised council that only
one bid had been received
for the vacant lot of the for-
mer hotel, located on South
Williams Street. The bid
was from Mike Iler for
$8,000 with the stipulations
that there would be no back
taxes or hidden fees associ-
ated with the property and
2A - Paulding County Progress Wednesday, July 9, 2014
that the village pay for re-
placement of the sidewalk
along Williams Street at an
approximate cost of $3,500.
Jones had advised council
that if they were to accept the
bid, the stipulations associat-
ed with the bid could present
a problem since the stipula-
tions were not part of the
original bid process. On
Jones advise, council unani-
mously rejected the bid.
At the July 7 meeting, it
was noted that in a private
conversation, Iler had stated
that he would pay for half of
cost to replace the sidewalk.
It was also noted that since
the village owned the proper-
ty, it was the responsibility of
the village to repair/replace
the sidewalk.
Jones received councils
mandate to rewrite the ordi-
nance for the sale of the hotel
property and include a clause
regarding the sidewalk re-
placement/repair. Jones told
council that this ordinance
would be available for coun-
cils vote at the next council
meeting.
It was reported that the vil-
lage has received numerous
complaints regarding trash
pickup at various places
around the village.
Some reports stated that
Werlor did not pick up cer-
tain containers and bulky
trash in bags. Village admin-
istrator Harry Wiebe advised
council that Werlor will be
sending a note to village res-
idents regarding solid waste
(garbage) pickup procedures.
Wiebe provided the follow-
ing excerpt from the agree-
ment between Werlor and the
village:
Regular Weekly
Collection service means the
regularly scheduled (2) two
day collection service for ac-
ceptable waste that is provid-
ed by the contractor to all
residential units and public
buildings and locations ac-
cording to a schedule that
shall take place between 6
a.m. and 7 p.m. and is limited
to the equivalent of three (3)
30-gallon plastic bags up to
40 lbs. each or (2) 30-35 gal-
lon garbage cans containing
bagged trash or a 60, 65, 90
or 96 gallon toter containing
bagged trash from each
Residential Unit per week.
A utility committee meet-
ing is scheduled for 5:30 p.m.
on July 22 to continue work-
ing out a solution for this
issue.
The issue of delinquent
utility bills was raised with
council being informed that it
was a lengthy and time-con-
suming process for the vil-
lage employees to collect
delinquent bills.
Councilwoman Barb Rife
requested that the amount of
current delinquent bills and
the process for collection be
researched and presented at
the next council meeting.
Council is prepared to use a
collection agency to collect
delinquent utility bills if war-
ranted.
There was no regular
meeting on June 16 due to a
lack of a quorum.
The next scheduled meet-
ing will be at 6:30 p.m. on
Monday, July 21.

that reaches every address in
the nation which is 151 mil-
lion residences, businesses
and post office boxes.
The Postmaster General
and CEO Patrick Donahoe
said, The job of postmaster
general was once one of the
countrys most politically
powerful. It is also one of the
oldest; a version of the posi-
tion existed before the
Declaration of Indepen -
dence.
But today, Donahoe finds
himself continually caught
in the political crossfire.
Donahoe is wrestling with
how to manage the Postal
Services future as it faces
huge losses, dwindling mail
volume and ballooning
costs. It may seem strange
now, but Donahoe was origi-
nally drawn to postal work
by the money. He saw his
salary rise from $4.76 per
hour as a postal clerk 37
years ago to $245,000 annu-
ally in his current office.

Make the Difference

About 15 years ago a col-
league of mine came across a
list of 20 ways to make our
lives more pleasant. Some of
them relieve stress, some are
timesavers and all will lead
you to a healthier, happier way
of life.
The advice is good for peo-
ple of all ages. Most are sim-
ple, common sense ways to
face lifes challenges. See how
many you can embrace.
1. Get enough sleep. If nec-
essary, use an alarm clock to
remind you to go to bed on
time.
2. Dont rely solely on your
memory. Write down when to
pick up the laundry, when li-
brary books are due, etc.
3. Dont put up with things
that dont work right. If some-
thing is a constant aggravation,
get it fixed or replace it.
4. Plan ahead. Dont let the
gas tank get below one-quarter
full, keep a well-stocked
emergency shelf of supplies
at home.
5. Make friends with non-
worriers. Stress is contagious.
6. An instant cure for most
stress: 30 minutes of brisk
walking or other aerobic exer-
cise.
7. Forget about counting to
10. Count to 1,000 before
doing something or saying
anything that could make mat-
ters worse. Another way
write out your anger in the
sand near the waters edge.
8. Take your scissors to your
credit cards. Wait until you can
pay cash for things you dont
absolutely need.
9. Think of your next embar-
rassing situation as an episode
on TVs Candid Camera.
10. Every day, make time for
some solitude.
11. Schedule a realistic day.
Allow ample time between ap-
pointments so you dont have
to rush, worry and apologize
for being late.
12. Talk it out. Discussing
your problem with a trusted
friend can help clear your mind
of confusion so you can con-
centrate on problem solving.
13. Instead of doing some-
thing tomorrow, do it today; in-
stead of doing it today, do it
now. Hard work is simply the
accumulation of easy things
you didnt do when you should
have done them.
14. Relax your standards.
The world will not end if the
grass doesnt get mowed this
weekend.
15. Add an ounce of love to
everything you do.
16. Respectfully say No,
thank you, to extra projects
you dont have the time or en-
ergy for.
17. Donate extra stuff to char-
ity. Getting rid of what you
dont need makes what you do
need easier to find.
18. Do nothing which, after
being done, leads you to tell a
lie.
19. Carry a duplicate car key
in your wallet. Part B: Never
leave your wallet in your car.
20. Resolve to be tender with
the young, compassionate with
the aged, sympathetic with the
striving and tolerant with the
weak and erringfor some-
time in life, you will have been
all of those.

Social etiquette is important.
Here are a few words to widen
your circle of friends. Try them
at the next social event you at-
tend.
Youre quite a bit shorter
than your wife, arent you?
Your wife? Oh, I thought
she was your mother.
I know a couple of guys
who dated your wife before
you did.
I believe I was in the line
ahead of you, Maam.

still write faster than I can
type. Im getting better,
though. I think its fun to
type, if I keep practicing I
might get better.
Today is my husband Joes
last day before his vacation
starts. He will go back to
work July 7.
Today is also daughter Eliz-
abeth and Susans last day be-
fore vacation, only they will
get a two week break. They
wont have to go back until
July 15. So we are as excited as
they are that we wont have to
follow a schedule for awhile.
Joe and the boys have al-
ready planned to go fishing all
day tomorrow. Susans
boyfriend Mose will go with
them and Susan is thinking
about going too. She said blue
gill fishing is fun!
We are trying to get all the
work caught up around here so
we will have more free time
next week. After all, a vacation
shouldnt be spent working at
home.
2014 is halfway over al-
ready. Hard to believe!
The sun is shining after a
rainy week so we are taking
advantage of the beautiful
day. Benjamin, Joseph, Lov-
ina, and Kevin are out in the
garden pulling weeds.
My, how those weeds took
over. Our garden is looking
great other than the weeds.
Our days are filled with all
the work that summer brings.
We canned rhubarb juice and
put lots of strawberries into
jam and pie filling. Our
strawberries were all from
sister Emmas patch. She had
plenty for herself and to share
with me.
Daughter Elizabeth turned
20 last week. She has now
left her teenage years. What a
nice young lady she has be-
come. Being the oldest of
eight children made a very re-
sponsible girl at a young age.
For her birthday, I baked her
a chocolate cake and then in-
stead of using frosting to dec-
orate it, I used whipped
topping and instant pudding
mix. Timothys sister told me
that she uses that instead of
frosting. It was a hit in our
family as the cake was gone
faster than usual.
Last Sunday evening we
were invited to one of our
church familys house for sup-
per. We were served a delicious
meal of barbecued chicken, po-
tato casserole, green beans,
tossed salad, cake, fruit salad,
chocolate pudding, ice cream,
chips, popcorn, punch, and cof-
fee. They live right beside a
river so we saw a lot of canoes
go by.
Next month we have 100
baby chicks coming. Half are
for laying and the other 50 are
broilers, which we will raise
for meat.
I made strawberry pie this
weekend so Ill share the
recipe.
STRAWBERRY PIE
3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup water
1 3-oz. strawberry gelatin
4 cups sliced, fresh strawber-
ries
Mix sugar, cornstarch, and
water until smooth. Bring to a
boil. Cook and stir for 2 min-
utes or until thickened. Re-
move from heat. Stir in gelatin
until dissolved. Arrange straw-
berries in pre-baked pie crust.
Pour mixture over berries. Re-
frigerate until set. This pie
freezes well, too.

Commissioners Journal June 23,
2014
This 23rd day of June, 2014, the
Board of County Commissioners met
in regular session with the following
members present: Tony Zartman,
Roy Klopfenstein, Fred Pieper, and
Nola Ginter, Clerk.
MEETING NOTES OF AP-
POINTMENTS
Edward Bohn, EMA director, was
officially sworn in by Klopfenstein.
Additional paperwork from the state
EMA office was completed. The
commissioners and Bohn reviewed a
uniforms and appearance policy for
the Paulding County EMA.
Bohn stated that strengthening the
Paulding County LEPC will be a pri-
ority for him. He was provided with
a current listing of PCLEPC mem-
bers and contact information.
Klopfenstein reported the LEPC
training exercise last Saturday was
very well attended. He noted 86 peo-
ple registered, in additional to many
non-registered participants.
Bohn reported he is working to-
wards getting the EMA vehicle ap-
propriately marked and equipped.
The commissioners informed him he
will have exclusive use of the vehicle
for EMA activities and responsibili-
ties.
Klopfenstein requested that Mr.
Bohn supply the commissioners with
a weekly activities report.
He also informed Bohn that the
Red Cross of Paulding County has
been promised a couple of radios for
use during emergency situations.
Bohn will make the necessary con-
tacts to assess their needs.
Frank and Marilyn Gudakunst met
with the commissioners to discuss
sink hole issues at the Auglaize
Sewer site. They reported the sink
hole is located at an old septic system
pipe site. The commissioners assured
the couple they would contact the
county prosecutor for an opinion as
to how best to handle the situation.
Jim Langham, Paulding Progress,
met briefly with the commissioners
for an update on last Saturdays
LECP training exercise. Klopfenstein
reported 86 plus were in attendance.
He also noted the assessment was
positive. Several in attendance com-
mented the training was very helpful;
however, Paulding County has a lot
of improvements to make. The
biggest single concern is still radio
communication weakness. Langham
was given the names of a few LEPC
members for follow-up.
County Treasurer Lou Ann Wan-
nemacher presented a bill for ap-
proval for the sewer project. She also
reported good collections so far on

Sheriffs Report
Guest Column
Its time to defend
our veterans
By Congressman Bob Latta
In a letter to his wife, Abigail, John Adams wrote, The
Second Day of July 1776, will be the most memorable
Epocha, in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it
will be celebrated, by succeeding generations, as the great
anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the
Day of Deliverance by solemn Acts of Devotion to God
Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade,
with shews, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illumina-
tions from one end of this continent to the other from this
time forward forever more. You will think me transported
with enthusiasm but I am not. I am well aware of the toil and
blood and treasure, that it will cost us to maintain this decla-
ration, and support and defend these States. Yet through all
the gloom I can see the rays of ravishing light and glory. I
can see that the end is more than worth all the means. And
that posterity will tryumph in that days transaction, even
altho we should rue it, which I trust in God we shall not.
While Adams may have been off by two days, the Fourth
of July is a day for all Americans to remember why we are
able to celebrate our blessed liberties. Our Founding Fathers
laid the framework for what has become the greatest nation
on earth, and it is because of the selfless sacrifices of our
troops that these values have held strong. Benjamin Franklin,
in response to a Philadelphia womans question as to what
form of government the Constitutional Convention had given
them, aptly replied, A Republic, if you can keep it. Contin-
uous threats have challenged our Republic, but our military
has never wavered and has remained steadfast in its resolve.
However, we have not returned this same level of commit-
ment to our military men and women. Recent reports have
revealed systematic failures within the Department of Veter-
ans Affairs (VA) that must be immediately addressed to en-
sure our veterans receive the care they have earned. Secret
lists, unacceptable wait times and lengthy appeals processes
have come to define our veterans health care system, and it
is time for us to defend our nations heroes.
The care of our veterans is neither partisan nor political,
and members from both sides of the aisle, including myself,
have been outraged by the terrible failings at the VA. We will
not stand for the continued run-around we have received
from the Administration. In order for us to conduct rigorous
oversight over the VA and hold those responsible for these
actions accountable, the Administration can no longer evade
the truth. The President has been aware of the problems at
the VA for years and has chosen not to hold his Department
accountable, and in the meantime, veterans lives have been
lost.
Therefore, the House and Senate have both passed legisla-
tion to hold the Administration accountable to all Americans,
especially our veterans. H.R. 4031, the Department of Veter-
ans Affairs Management Accountability Act, gives the VA
Secretary the authority to remove senior executive service
employees who are not performing at the standards expected
when serving our veterans. While this authority already ex-
ists, this legislation explicitly outlines these powers to elimi-
nate the unacceptable culture of mistruths and complacency
at the VA.
In addition, H.R. 4810, the Veterans Access to Care Act,
will help tens of thousands of veterans receive timely med-
ical care by providing greater access to non-VA care at the
departments expense. It also bans bonuses for all VA em-
ployees from fiscal year 2014 through fiscal year 2016 to en-
sure these employees are not rewarded for the departments
gross negligence.
In late May, I also held a series of town hall meetings
throughout Ohios Fifth Congressional District to learn about
the issues our veterans are experiencing. I have shared these
stories with my colleagues, including House Veterans Af-
fairs Committee Chairman Jeff Miller (R-FL) and Ranking
Member Michael Michaud (D-ME), and I will continue to
share them to ensure my colleagues are aware of what is oc-
curring throughout Ohio. I have also sent a letter to the VA
Secretary, demanding an explanation for the lapses in our
veterans care, as well as the departments plans for ensuring
these injustices do not occur in the future.
One of the most disconcerting aspects of the VA crisis is
that these issues could have been prevented. We have made a
promise to our nations heroes and have a duty to uphold our
commitment. It is time that we, as a country, defend them by
ensuring they receive the care they need.

Common Pleas
Fish & Game
Club needs
financial support
Dear Editor,
Im writing on behalf of
the Paulding Fish & Game
Club, Inc. This is a plea for
financial help to get us out
of the red. The bad winter
caused poor attendance at
our monthly third Sunday
trap shoots as well as the
gun shows. We truly appre-
ciate all those who continue
to support the organization,
but we are behind in our
bills and are asking for do-
nations to help pay back sev-
eral officers who have dug
into their own pockets to
keep things paid. As you all
know utilities keep increas-
ing as well as the cost of
everything else. We need at
least 100 annual members
dues just to pay taxes and in-
surance.
The Paulding Club pro-
vides a needed resource for
hunter education in Paulding
County. We have several
certified instructors who vol-
unteer their time to teach
new shooters gun safety and
responsible gun ownership
for all types of shooting
sports. All new hunters have
to pass a Certified Hunter Ed
Course to get a hunting li-
cense in Ohio.
We are asking our past,
current and future members
to help us continue to have a

Ohio Highway Patrolman John Gray from the Findlay Post was
the speaker at the Paulding Kiwanis Club meeting. His topic was
the older generation of drivers, those over 50 years. These driv-
ers need to recognize that as we grow older, our bodies slow
down and our reaction time is longer in sudden emergencies.
He showed photos of some of the fatal accidents in the county
this past year. He said he would be available to talk to other or-
ganizations that wanted to have him in the future. Jane Gray was
program chairman.

Report
In My Opinion
After complaining
for 238 years, we
are still blessed

With the July fourth weekend just ending I was taken back
by some of the headlines in the news. While celebrating our
nations 238th birthday and the many freedoms we all appre-
ciate and enjoy, there was some disturbing news that I had to
digest during my recent celebration.
To start off with, the U.S. lost its match to Belgium in the
World Cup, ending their slim chance to become the worlds
best soccer team.
If that wasnt sad enough,
I then read a report where
President Obama has the
distinction of being our
worst president since WWII.
Maybe, maybe not, and I
will leave it at that. Oh, by
the way, I did read this week
that the Republican National Convention will be held during
the summer of 2016 in Cleveland or Dallas in case you want
to mark your calendar just sayin. Go Cleveland!
So with sports and politics out of the way, what else is
there that is burning our ears? Gas prices. Everyone is com-
plaining about gas prices although we received a little break
in Defiance recently and we thank you. But the headline read
gas prices to hit a six-year high. Would that happen just
prior to Fourth of July weekend travel or after?
Now then, to put a cap on this newsy week I saw where
the Duck Dynasty folks are at it again. Can you believe it?
Now Phil and Miss Kay are reporting their first son, Alan
(the one without a beard) was born out of wedlock. After
reading that I just wanted to box up my Duck Dynasty coffee
mug, tee shirt, blanket, trading cards, ice tea Tupperware
glass, Miss Kays cookbook, my videos from the previous
four or has it been five seasons, and even my Uncle Sy bob-
ble head and take it all back to Walmart. But no, I wouldnt
want to do that.
As an American I have the right to complain just like all of
you. We can complain about the president, wake up the next
day and continue on even if our our favorite team lost the big
game, get in the car and make the trip even when it is so
painful at the gas pump, and if someone or a family member
disappoints us we still love them anyway.
Thats what Americans do. We may not like what we read
or how it looks so negative but we continue on. We move
forward and work hard and hopefully complain less. Its
something we are pretty good at. After all, we have been
doing this for 238 years.
With so much to be thankful for, we as Americans have the
opportunity to live in the greatest nation regardless of what
the headlines report. In the meantime, may God continue to
bless America as He has over the past 238 years.

Adopt a Dog
Hello, my name is Molly and I am the new girl here at the ken-
nel! I am about two years old and weigh 45 pounds or so. I am
super smart and very sweet! I get along great with other dogs
but they do not know how I am with cats. I am mostly housebro-
ken and will need a crate when I am home alone. I love to go for
car rides and to run and play. I also really love treats and to take
naps on the couch! I hope my new family finds me soon! Please
come on out and visit with me! For more information about me,
please contact the Paulding County Dog Kennel at 419-399-3791.

WT among foundation
grant finalists
PAULDING The Mon-
santo Fund has announced
the finalists for this years
Americas Farmers Grow
Rural Education grants.
From January through
March, farmers across the
country nominated their local
public school districts for the
grants. Once nominated,
these districts were eligible
to submit completed grant
applications in April.
The Wayne Trace Local
school district has been se-
lected as one of the finalist
for a grant of up to $25,000.
The winning grant recipients
will be announced in early
August.
Over the past month, a
panel of educators from inel-
igible counties reviewed all
of the grant applications. The
strongest submissions were
selected as finalists and will
be sent to the Americas
Farmers Grow Rural Educa-
tion Advisory Council for
final review. Composed of
farmer-leaders from across
the U.S. with a vested inter-
est in both agriculture and
education, the Advisory
Council will select the win-
ning school districts.
Last year, Grow Rural Ed-
ucation invested $120,000 in
public school districts across
Ohio to improve math and
science curriculum. Since
2012, Ohio school districts
have received $215,000
through the program.
Grow Rural Education
grants have allowed rural
schools to invest in the en-
hancement of student learn-
ing in math and science. Past
grant recipients used funding
for projects such as technol-
ogy and scientific lab equip-
ment upgrades, greenhouses
and outdoor classroom learn-
ing environments, teacher
and curriculum development
and other math and science
related initiatives.

Farmers beware of Palmer amaranth
By Mark Holtsberry
Education specialist
Paulding SWCD
A fast growing super weed that has de-
stroyed soybean and cotton fields in southern
states is popping up in Ohio. Alarming re-
searchers and agriculture groups who fear its
spread the weed is called Palmer amaranth
and commonly used herbicides such as
Roundup have no effect on this weed.
Infestations in Scioto County last year and
in Fayette County this year have researchers
in Indiana and Tennessee concerned as well as
the Ohio Soybean Council. More than 3,000
soybean farmers and agriculture industry
firms have been sent letters and DVDs to warn
them of this invasive weed. It is very impos-
sible to estimate the effect it could have on
Ohio agriculture. Ohio State University Ex-
tension agent Mark Loux is asking farmers to
send samples of suspect weeds to his office.
Roundup and other glyphosate herbicides
used to kill any plant, including Palmer ama-
ranth but somewhere along the line, Palmer
amaranth developed its own resistance to
Roundup and evolved into a super weed that
Roundup cant touch. The result is farm fields
where nothing but corn, cotton or soybeans
grows along with Palmer amaranth.
With a growth rate as much as three inches per
day, the weed steals nutrients and shades out
shorter crops. It competes well with corn, too.
New plants sprout from April through Au-
gust. This can double or triple herbicide costs
because farmers must keep spraying new
plants. A field infested can lose 80 percent of
the soybean plants and 40 percent of corn
plants. In southern states, some farmers have
lost entire fields, even plowing them under in
attempt to kill all weeds.
One of the ways this is spreading is with
harvesting equipment. The seed is mixed in
with soybeans or corn and shipped into other
states. Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky, Illinois
and Pennsylvania now have confirmed cases.
In many cases the seed, which is very tiny,
gets shipped across state lines and is mixed
with other grains used for cattle feed. Cattle
then passes the seed through their digestive
tracts, then manure is spread on fields for fer-
tilization.
In other cases, Palmer amaranth seeds made
their way into prairie grass seed mixes that
Ohio farmers planted in conservation areas
and buffer strips meant to separate crops from
streams and ditches.
Samples and reports have come from fields
in Clark, Clinton, Mercer, Van Wert, Union
and Tuscarawas counties. These findings were
isolated and the weeds had yet to produce
seeds. Ohio has yet to see the bigger infesta-
tions reported in northwestern Indiana and
southeastern Michigan.
For the farmer, this makes it more challeng-
ing to provide a quality product, but they al-
ways endure.

Paulding County Hospital offers digital mammography,
one of the best technologies for early breast cancer
detection. Its our investment in providing you with the
best possible care because early detection is still the
surest way to beat breast cancer. The help is right here and
your health means everything to us.
Digital Mammography
Facts:
Finding breast cancer
early can save your life.
Studies show that digital
mammography can detect
breast cancer earlier than
regular film mammograms.
Earlier detection means
earlier treatment and lives
saved.
Digital mammography takes an electronic image of the
breast and stores it directly in a computer, allowing the
recorded data to be enhanced, magnified or manipu-
lated for further evaluation. Dont wait - early detec-
tion often means less surgery.
Mammogram costs, or a % of them are covered by
Medicare, Medicaid, and most private health plans.
For more information or to schedule an appointment, call
PCHs radiology department, 419-399-1131 or
800-741-1743, ext 131.

PAULDING As part of
a statewide awareness tour,
the NAMImobile visited
Paulding on Monday, June
23 in the afternoon.
The bus was parked in the
village/county parking area
south of the courthouse, for
about an hour.
According to Katie Dil-
lon, NAMI Ohio representa-
tive, a few local residents
stopped in with questions.
But she said their stop coin-
cided with a downpour and
thunder storm so participa-
tion was impacted.
She noted the state organ-
ization has been working to
reestablish a local NAMI
chapter.
The stop was part of the
National Alliance of Mental
Illness (NAMI) anti-dis-
crimination against mental
illness tour. It was organized
in coordination with the
Mental Illness-No Discrim-
ination (MIND) movement.
The purpose of the bus
tour is to end discrimination
against individuals living
with mental illness and their
family members by getting
facts about mental illness
out to the public. Over 100
communities will be visited
this summer. The next area
visit will be towards the end
of July in Bryan.
It was indicated one in
four adults, approximately
2.9 million Ohioans, experi-
ence a mental health disor-
der in a given year. One-half
of all chronic mental illness
begins by age 14; three-
quarters by age 24.
Early identification and
treatment is of vital impor-
tance to recovery, said Dil-
lon, NAMI Ohio
representative.
Quoting a MIND state-
ment, she continued, Wide-
spread discrimination or
fear of discrimination
against individuals with
mental illness often causes
shame, despair, and hope-
lessness and can negatively
influence a persons deci-
sion to seek treatment. Lack
of treatment can result in
hospitalization, loss of em-
ployment, court involve-
ment, homelessness or
worse, death.
For too long, people
have been ashamed to admit
that they have a mental ill-
ness. That has to change.
That is why this movement
is so important, she con-
cluded.
Paulding County resi-
dents are able to attend
NAMI Four County meet-
ings, educational programs
and/or support groups. In-
formation can be found at
their website: www.nami-
fourcounty.org or by calling
800-686-2646.

HOMESPUN
By
JIM LANGHAM
Todays bounty experienced through
the stained hands of yesterday
Who would think that a 66-
year-old man would take a
picture of his hand when its
stained purple from eating
mulberries.
For me, it wakes up the lit-
tle boy within who used to
run to the neighbors during
mulberry season for a tasty
treat. The picture of the pur-
ple hands is a reminder of
those days when I ran through
mulberries bare-footed and
frustrated my mother with
purple feet, purple hands and
mulberry stains on my
clothes!
Most recently, I have dis-
covered two mulberry trees in
the wild of the Limberlost
Swamp trails where I walk
several times a week. For
nearly a month now, I have
stopped by the trees during
my walk for a snack and a
satisfying drink to my
thirsty tongue. But most of
all, it is a quick trip back to
the days when we saved
everything off the land.
Nothing was left unscathed
in my childhood home, espe-
cially with a family that had
just come out of the Great
Depression. I remember
walking with my grand-
mother to the railroad tracks
where wild strawberries grew
along the sides. For her, an
apron-full of strawberries was
just the right amount for a
fresh strawberry pie or one
batch of wild strawberry jelly.
Hunting mushrooms, pump-
kin blossoms to fry and dan-
delions for salad were all part
of what I thought was a nor-
mal regiment back in those
days. In fact, my parents
marked my birthday by the
fact they had dandelion salad
on the day that I was born.
Through the years, our
family has been blessed with
natures gifts. In our rural
country setting in Illinois, I
discovered a patch of wild as-
paragus, lots of it along a
field across the road. When
the asparagus was on, I would
get up at 6 a.m. to harvest the
fresh asparagus that had
grown overnight. My favorite
use of it was when Joyce
cooked the asparagus in
cream sauce and eggs and
poured it over toast.
We were blessed in that
area because part of the agri-
culture was that of growing
vegetables for Green Giant.
Once green beans were har-
vested, farmers invited us to
glean beans, especially at the
corners where they were
missed by the pickers. Other
products included water-
melon and pumpkins, which
were fair game for the public
when they grew out of the
field and into the ditches.
These days, I have come to
appreciate more deeply a new
harvest off the land les-
sons I extract from daily
walks on nature trails through
a rejuvenated swamp that is
full of wisdom gained from
watching development of
wild flowers, water fowl,
birds and wild animals inhab-
iting land turning back to the
way it was created in the first
place. My new classroom is
becoming so fascinating to
me that I spend hours each
week looking up and reading
about what I take pictures of
when wonder through the
trails. As I eat wild strawber-
ries, black raspberries and
mulberries, I am daily be-
coming more understanding
of Psalm 24:1, The earth is
the Lords and the fullness
thereof.
Still, I sense a smile from
heaven when a 66-year-old
man takes a picture of purple
hands to connect with the lit-
tle child within.

Winning the Battle for a Generation
By Rick Jones
Defiance Area Youth for
Christ executive director
How large is your Bible? Recently, I re-
ceived as a gift a new translation of the Bible,
the New English Version. This particular ver-
sion of scripture reads like a more contempo-
rary record of the biblical narrative of Gods
work in human history. With this translation
as an addition to my library of bible transla-
tions I have a full complement of the most
popular translations of scripture.
However, it is not the number of translation
of bibles that one owns that ultimately matters
but whether we are obedient to the principles
of scripture when it comes to personal faith
and practice. For example, in a recent Turning
Point daily devotional, David Jeremiah writes:
According to the Guinness Book of Records,
the smallest New Testament in the world can
fit on your fingertip. It can be read with a pow-
erful magnifying glass and is designed to be
worn as a pendant or lapel pin.
Theres nothing wrong with wearing our
witness or having lapel pins to spark conver-
sations about Christ, but the Bible isnt a tal-
isman. The words the Bible contains are what
make it special. The Lord told the Israelites to
teach the Scripture to their children, to wear
them as a sign on their foreheads, and to write
them on the door posts of their homes. It was
Gods way of reminding them to keep Scripture
close and accessible. Some turned this into a rit-
ual and began wearing phylacteries, little leather
boxes containing a verse from the Law.
Its all right to have verses at our fingertips,
and there are great ways to display our love
for Scripture; but remember, the best place for
the Word of God is in our hearts and minds.
Its not about a ritual but a relationship.
How large is your Bible? Hopefully, it is big
enough to initiate saving faith in your life. The
Apostle Paul put it this wayRomans 10:17
(KJV), 17 So then faith cometh by hearing,
and hearing by the word of God.

Safe travel, healthy
summer tips available
COLUMBUS Summer time travel at home and abroad may
put Ohioans at increased risk of exposure to infectious diseases
such as measles and mumps. Additionally, warm weather activities
bring an elevated chance of contracting certain food and water-
borne illnesses such as E. coli and salmonella.
The Ohio Department of Health (ODH) reminds Ohioans that
there are effective ways to protect yourself and your family from
vaccine-preventable disease and food and waterborne illness.
These include making sure everyone is up-to-date on their immu-
nizations and following simple sanitation procedures when prepar-
ing food and enjoying outdoor recreation.
Whether youre planning a summer cookout, a big holiday cel-
ebration or a camping trip, make sure your summer plans include
checking your immunization status and following other safety tips,
said ODH State Epidemiologist Dr. Mary DiOrio. Measles and
salmonella may not be the first thing you think about when prepar-
ing for that long-awaited getaway, but its important to follow a few
precautions so that everyone can have a good time this summer.
Ohio is now part of the largest measles outbreak in the U.S. since
1994, with more than 230 confirmed cases reported in six north-
central Ohio counties largely confined to unvaccinated individ-
uals. When fully vaccinated, the mumps measles rubella (MMR)
vaccine is 97 percent effective. It is important to note that infants
less than one year of age are too young to be vaccinated are at risk
of contracting measles. Measles is especially dangerous to them.
Parents are encouraged to talk with their healthcare provider before
traveling with an infant to an area where measles outbreaks are oc-
curring.
When it comes to food borne illnesses, remember the four steps
of food safety:
1. Wash hands and surfaces often
2. Dont cross-contaminate
3. Cook to the right temperature
4. Refrigerate promptly.
If you believe you or someone you know has become ill from
eating a certain food, please contact your local health department.
Recreational water illnesses are caused by germs spread by swal-
lowing, breathing in mists or aerosols of, or having contact with
contaminated water in swimming pools, hot tubs, water parks, water
play areas, interactive fountains, lakes, rivers or oceans. The most
commonly reported water illnesses are diarrheal illnesses, which
are caused by germs. Remember to shower with soap before and
after you swim and dont swim when you have diarrhea.
ODH and its local public health partners support the vaccine rec-
ommendations set forth by the Advisory Committee on Immuniza-
tion Practices (ACIP) and Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC). These recommendations include vaccination
schedules for when individuals (children and adults) should receive
their vaccinations.

Last week, John Paulding Historical Society Museum was more than happy to get rid of one
antique in its collection. The old furnace in the kitchen/gathering area began having problems
last winter, forcing museum volunteers to monitor it throughout the long, cold season. Recently,
Ben Gross (left) and Jake Yenser of Yenser Gross Heating & Air Conditioning in Payne offered
to donate a new furnace, along with the installation and materials. It is very much needed and
very much appreciated, said society president Kim Sutton. Since were a nonprofit, we dont
receive public funding and we have to rely on donations to keep running. Gross said, We want
to give back to the community. Its where we both live and work and play. We feel its a good op-
portunity for us.

Paulding ACME team advances
Win over Fairview 8-6; loss to Defiance 16-0
DEFIANCE The Paulding
ACME baseball team did
what they needed to do in
order to advance to the Dis-
trict 1 tournament. Playing in
the losers bracket the Pan-
thers and Fairview, each with
one loss, battled for the op-
portunity to move on. When
the dust cleared it was Pauld-
ing with the win 8-6. Both
Defiance and Paulding will
represent the Defiance sec-
tional at the next round.
The nine inning affair
played last Monday between
the two teams was nothing
new. Both Fairview and
Paulding had played four
times during the summer with
the Apaches winning all four
match ups. During tourna-
ment time anything can hap-
pen and the Panthers proved
they would not be denied this
time around.
Both teams were scoreless
through three innings of play
but the fourth inning had both
squads scoring two times
each. For the Panthers, Tre-
ston Gonzalez started things
off with a walk followed by a
Damon Egnor successful bunt
to place two Panther runners
on base. A solid double by
Jarrett Sitton scored Gonzales
and Egnor to put Paulding up
2-0. Fairview, however, dupli-
cated the Paulding effort with
two runs of their own in the
bottom of the fourth to even
the score.
The sixth inning was kind
to Paulding with Corbin Ed-
wards slapping a single be-
tween short and third.
Gonzales connected on a sin-
gle to allow Edwards to move
to third. Sitton then came
through in a big way with a
triple to score Edwards and
Gonzales and giving the Pan-
thers another two run advan-
tage at 4-2.
Fairview came through
with a run in their half of the
sixth inning, forcing Paulding
Head Coach Matt Arellano to
make a pitching change with
the Panthers hanging on to a
4-3 lead. Egnor replaced
starter Preston Johanns. Egnor
went 2-2/3 innings and picked
up the win in relief.
Paulding continued to keep
the pressure on with another
run in the seventh. Lupe Mar-
tinez collected a single to
open the seventh inning. Mar-
tinez had good fortune with an
attempted steal on a bunt by
Alex Estrada. A throwing
error to second allowed Mar-
tinez to travel to third base.
Edwards had another positive
trip to the plate with a hard hit
single up the middle to score
Martinez for a 5-3 margin for
Paulding.
Again, the two run cushion
was short lived as Fairview
collected two runs in the bot-
tom of the seven to knot the
score at five a piece.
With a scoreless eighth in-
ning and the score still tied,
the ninth inning turned out to
be the clincher for Paulding.
The Paulding County squad
totaled three runs to hold on
for the 8-6 win. Johanns
started things off with a single
followed by a Martinez bunt
that allowed Johanns to make
it to third base. Corbin Ed-
wards was intentionally
walked to load the bases and
bring Gonzales to the plate. A
hard hit shot down the left
field line scored both Johanns
and Martinez. Following an-
other intentional walk, this
time to Egnor, it was Sitton
who came to the plate. On a
third strike call, the catcher
mishandled the ball giving
Sitton the green light to first
and allowing Edwards to
score from third. for an 8-5
lead. Fairview scored once in
their last attempt but would
get no closer.

Defiance 16 Paulding 0
Needing two wins over De-
fiance to take the number one
seed in the ACME baseball
sectional, Paulding was no
match as the Defiance Bull-
dogs raced out to an early lead
and coasted to a 16-0 win. De-
fiance will represent the Defi-
ance sectional as its top seed
with the Panthers also advanc-
ing.
The double elimination dis-
trict tournament will also fea-
ture the two top seeds from
Williams County. Defiance
will play the number two seed
with Paulding playing the top
seed Williams County oppo-
nent.
The Panthers, who had
beaten Fairview the day be-
fore, were less than focused
with their match up with De-
fiance. Six errors and pitchers
with less experience were
costly for the Panthers.
The six inning game had
Bulldog pitcher Shay Smiddy
going four innings allowing
no runs and just four hits
along with six strikeouts.
For the Panthers, Head
Coach Matt Arellano went
with Corbin Edwards on the
mound who gave up eight
runs and six hits in three in-
nings of work. Also pitching
for Paulding in relief was
Cameron Doster and Preston
Ingol.
Paulding managed just four
hits with Johanns, Egnor,
Doster and Edwards each with
a single.

Paulding catcher Lupe Martinez made a perfect throw to the
waiting third baseman Preston Johanns. The third baseman
managed to put the tag on the Defiance runner attempting to
steal. Defiance won the ACME game 16-0.
Paulding relief pitcher Cameron Doster delivers in the fifth in-
ning during the Panthers ACME baseball game. Paulding fell to
the Bulldogs, 16-0, but was the No. 2 team in the tournament and
will advance to the next round of tournament play.
Lupe Martinez slides into second base following a bunt by Alex Estrada. Martinez later scored
the all important run in the 9-8 Paulding win over Fairview in the ACME sectional game.
Jarrett Sitton has to stretch off of first base in order to get the third out in the fourth inning
against Fairview. Paulding outlasted the Apaches 9-8 in the ACME sectional game. The win helped
propel the Panthers into the district tournament.
Following a passed ball by pitcher Cam Doster, the Paulding hurler raced to home to receive
the ball from catcher Jim Mourey. In the heads-up play, Doster saved a run by successfully tagging
out the Defiance runner.

Panthers stay alive with
win over Stryker
Cameron Doster, waits patiently as the ball approaches the plate in their game against Bryan.
On Sunday, Paulding came back with a huge win over Stryker. In that game, Doster went 4-for-
4 including a double in the seventh inning to put the Panthers in control 7-4. Paulding went on
to win 7-5 to move into the losers bracket finals against Bryan.
By JOE SHOUSE
Progress Staff Writer
DEFIANCE Through four
innings of play in their ACME
district baseball game, both
Paulding (11-9) and Bryan
(14-6) were searching for
runs. Unfortunately for the
Panther contingent, it was
Bryan who scored eight runs
in two late innings to secure an
8-2 win to push Paulding into
the losers bracket.
It was Bryans pitcher Bai-
ley Martin who kept the Pan-
thers from taking control
offensively and it was Mar-
tins bat that helped the
Golden Bears take the lead in
the fifth frame.
On the mound, Martin
recorded 10 strike outs while
walking three and giving up
just four hits in six innings.
While Martin was doing a
solid job defensively, he was
also doing damage at the plate.
With the game scoreless, Mar-
tin smacked a single with two
runners on base. Both base
runners scored to give Bryan a
2-0 advantage.
The Golden Bears added
two more runs in the fifth
when Bryce Alabata delivered
a single to score two more
Gold Bear runs and a 4-0 mar-
gin.
Paulding made a run in the
top of the sixth by cutting the
Bryan lead in half. The Pan-
thers crossed the plate with
their initial run when Corbin
Edwards singled allowing Pre-
ston Ingol to score from first
on a Bryan throwing error.
Later in the inning, the Bryan
pitcher was guilty of a balk
giving Edwards the green light
to score for Paulding.
Trailing 4-2 the Panthers
continued their threat with a
hit by Jarrett Sitton and a walk
by Alex Arellano, but the
Bryan pitcher came through
with a strike out to end the in-
ning.
In the sixth inning, Bryan
put an end to a Panther come-
back when they scored four
runs. Again, Martin clubbed a
two run single after Paulding
came up with two Bryan outs.

Last Sunday at Sumpter
Field in Bryan, the Paulding
ACME baseball team kept its
tournament hopes alive with a
7-5 win over Stryker.
The win advanced Paulding
to the losers bracket finals
against Bryan. The loser will
be eliminated in the double
elimination tournament. The
winner will advance to tangle
with Defiance.
The 12-9 Panthers took an
early lead in the first inning
and stretched it out to as much
as a 4-0 shut out margin in the
sixth inning.
However, the four-run cush-
ion did not stand up as Stryker
collected four hits and turned
them into four runs to knot the
score after six innings of play.
Stryker, who was plagued
with four errors throughout
the contest came up with three
miscues in the decisive sev-
enth inning that saw the Pan-
thers cross home plate three
times. With two outs, Paulding
bumped its lead to 5-4 on a
Stryker error. With a couple of
runners on base, Cameron
Doster, who had been in a hit-
ting slump of sorts, belted a
double that put the Panthers
on top to stay at 7-4. Doster
was solid at the plate hitting
the double in the seventh to go
with three singles.
Corbin Edwards shut down
Stryker after they scored a run
in the seventh to pull to within
two at 7-5. Edwards was look-
ing at two runners on base
when he managed to get the
final two outs to secure the
win.
Other top hitters from the
Paulding County winners
were Edwards with a single
and double, Jarrett Sitton
added two singles and Alex
Arellano with a double.

Jarrett Sitton (88) beats out the throw to first base in the ACME
baseball game featuring Paulding and Bryan. The Panthers lost
8-2 to place themselves in the losers bracket. Following the loss
the Panthers bounced back with a 7-5 win over Stryker.

Garden
Sights and smells

me and my garden hoses as in

math of the derecho and
record high temperatures,
with little rain.
The regular rains, of
course, mean the weeds are
doing a pretty good job of
being weeds too, but I dont
mind pulling them a little
every day. I find both weed-
ing and deadheading to be
therapeutic. I can pop off the
spent daylily heads while I
ponder the issues of the day
and routing out dandelions,
clover, and thistles doesnt re-
quire a whole lot of concen-
tration on the task.
Not only that, when Im
finished with both of these
things, I can reap the benefits
almost immediately. I can see
where Ive been, as if Ive
just cleaned a messy house. It
can be oh so satisfying and I
enjoy doing it just about any
hour of the day.
But there is a time just be-
fore dusk called the golden
hour, when the angle of the
sun is just right and the gar-
den virtually glows. Photog-
raphers know this well, and
make use of it when photo-
graphing nature. I can often
be found in the garden then,
with my camera in one hand
and my pruners in the other.
Then before I know it, the sun
has disappeared below the
horizon and the magic is
gone. Or is it?
The garden at dusk is a
very different place than it is
at midday, when bees and
butterflies and other pollina-
tors are busy gathering pollen
and sipping nectar. As night
falls, these foraging insects
retreat to their homes and the
night shift takes over.
Theres a coolness in my
garden as darkness slowly de-
scends on it, yet as I walk
through, Ill occasionally
come to a place where the
days warmth remains a
warm spot, we call it.
The fragrance of the night
garden is different too. While
the roses perfume the days
air, the night belongs to the
lilies. You can smell their
scent during the day, but its
nothing like the heady aroma
at days end.
Of course, God has a rea-
son for everything and theres
a perfectly logical explana-
tion for why some plants are
more fragrant at night. Take
trumpet lilies, for example,
which owe their name to their
shape, with long tubes lead-
ing to their nectar reserves.
What kind of insect is
made in such a way that it can
reach down into the bottom of
that long tube? Certain moths
have a very long proboscis (a
tongue-like feature) that they
unfurl while hovering at the
flowers entrance and they
suck up nectar with it. Moths
are most active at night, so it
just makes sense for a flower
to do everything in its power
to attract its pollinator, like
smelling good.
Sphinx moths, also called
hawk moths and humming-
bird moths because of their
hovering habit while feeding,
are one kind of moth that can
be observed at dusk. One
evening last week, I was
deadheading the daisies and
two sphinx moths were busy
flitting from one nearby lily
bloom to another, oblivious to
my presence.
If you happen to see the
sphinx moths in your own
garden, pay attention to your
tomato plants in the coming
days, because guess what the
larval form of these moths is.
Hornworms. Enjoy their fas-
cinating behavior as adults,
because you probably wont
when the eggs they lay on
your tomato plants turn into
voracious feeders.

If you look closely at the center of the daylily, you can see the
long proboscis of this sphinx moth as it sips nectar after dark.
ODNR NatureWorks for
local park projects
COLUMBUS, OH The Ohio Depart-
ment of Natural Resources (ODNR) is now
accepting applications for grant funding as-
sistance for local park projects through the
state NatureWorks Grant Program. Before
the end of this year, ODNR will be award-
ing $3.9 million to local communities all
across the state to assist in providing
Ohioans with enhanced outdoor opportuni-
ties.
The Ohio General Assembly recently al-
located nearly $8 million to the Nature-
Works Program for the next two fiscal
years, FY 14 and FY 15. ODNR is currently
offering half of these funds for local park
projects, awarded projects can be started as
early as spring 2015.
NatureWorks funding is available for
cities, villages, counties, townships, park
districts and conservancy districts interested
in securing funds to assist with local park
projects. Applicants and project scopes must
meet the eligibility requirements under the
NatureWorks program, and all applications
for the NatureWorks grant program must be
postmarked by Sept. 1, 2014.
The NatureWorks grant application can be
found at: ohiodnr.gov/realestate.
The Ohio Parks and Natural Resources
Fund (State Issue No. 1) was passed by vot-
ers on Nov. 3, 1993. Additional legislation
authorized the creation of the NatureWorks
program. This is the 21st round for Nature-
Works grants.

drive the roads at 5 a.m. and
some even earlier to check
road and weather conditions.
This is a job that is taken very
seriously by those involved as
each one makes sure that roads
and conditions are safe for the
buses and students.
Frigid temperatures, snow
and the wind have been a
problem this year. It has been a
long time since temperatures
have dipped to below zero and
remain so low for such a long
time.
So, when is too cold, too

It has never been necessary
to enact a cold weather poli-
cy in Paulding County. That
is until this month of January.
Theres been an onslaught of
below-zero temperatures, high
winds and an accumulation of
snow.
It appears that there is not
much relief coming this week,
as temperatures are to dip
down to below zero once
again.
When the road conditions
are bad, residents usually get
fair warning from the news
media, EMA and weather
services informing of ap-
proaching bad weather.
Information is also available
on all of the school delays and
closings. Sometimes, the de-
lays and closings are an-
nounced the night before.
What nobody realizes is the
process involved in making
the decision whether to cancel
school or just delay it.
