Preschool
storytimes begin
at the library
PAULDING It is time to
rev up again for a new season
of preschool storytimes at the
main historic Carnegie library
in Paulding. Preschool storytimes are held every Tuesday
at 1 p.m. and every Wednesday at 10 a.m.
Storytimes are wonderful
ways to introduce preschoolers to the library, provide
them with social opportunities
and encourage the love of
books and reading. Each storytime is planned to engage
a child in the love of reading
and may include not only
sharing a book, but also activities, crafts, music and snacks.
Each storytime is theme-based
and provides 45 minutes to an
hour of non-stop fun.
Preschool storytimes began
the first week of August in
the Childrens Room of the
historic Carnegie library in
Paulding. For more information, call 419-399-2032 and
ask for the childrens room.
Branch libraries
closed on Friday
The branch libraries of the

Paulding County Carnegie
Library, including the Bookmobile, will be closed Friday,
Aug. 7, for staff training. The
main library in Paulding will
be open regular hours 9 a.m.-6
p.m.

A Community Says Goodbye

to a Son, Grandson,
Friend, Teammate
Husband, Daddy &
By JIM LANGHAM
Feature Writer
PAULDING When Robert Habern, District III
Commander for Disabled American Veterans, gave
the final roll call at the memorial service for Randall
Smith on Saturday morning, silence and an occasional
muffled sob was all that could be heard in the Paulding
High School Gym.
Habern first called the names of a few Navy soldiers
that were present in the gym and they gave a resounding
response. He then called out Smiths name once, twice
and eventually a third time with no response. Finally,
Paulding County Sheriff Jason Landers stood to his feet
and responded in Smiths behalf;
Sir, he is not with us today. He lost his life to terrorism, while serving the United States of America.
This is a solemn day for all of us, commented Navy
Commander Meghan Michael. But this is also an opportunity to celebrate thoughts of Randall Smith. We
are a family that helps each other, whether its a long
deployment or during a difficult time like this.
Michael said that she never had the opportunity to
actually serve with Smith, but she is proud of him and
proud of the way he served the Navy.
He was a petty officer that sang Disney songs with
his daughters. Whether he was a husband, friend, son or
neighbor, he was part of the Navy family, added Michael.
Although the memorial service was scheduled for 11
a.m., a large number of grieving residents and friends
gathered at the entrance of the Paulding High School
gym by 9:30 a.m., when the gym was slated to open.
As a backdrop to the stage located at the south end of
the makeshift sanctuary, a huge American flag proudly
displayed its colors. The stage was surrounded by various family pictures and mementoes belonging to the
fallen sailor.
Outside the gym, another enormous American flag
was suspended over Water Street between two fire department aerial ladder trucks from Paulding and Defiance. The Stars and Stripes waved in the gentle morning
breeze.
The presence of multiple law enforcement vehicles
and ambulances reflected the concern and preparedness
for the days events.
About a mile north on Emerald Road, hundreds of
motorcycles representing various veteran interest organizations were gathering in the parking lot of the First
Christian Church. At approximately 10:15 a.m., the roar
of the cycles could be heard approaching en masse to
honor and pay tribute to Smiths passing.

Emergency responders raise an American flag over Water Street in front of Paulding High

setting for a later motorcycle procession.
Remembering a hometown hero
By JIM LANGHAM
Feature Writer
PAULDING Many community residents who attended the memorial service in honor of Randall
Smith stood in disbelief, quietly and
tearfully meditating on what the last
two hours of tributes to their own
hometown hero meant as it sank
into their souls.
Paulding High School faculty
member Cheri Estle said that it is
unbelievable to think that a former
student had his life snuffed out
through the actions of a terrorist.
He was hit by a terrorist. I just
cant get past that, said Estle. He
was a great kid. He was definitely a
hero from what I heard today.
Estle said that she sat in the
bleachers with several of his former
teachers.

Burkley.
Greg Reinhart, who had been
Smiths baseball coach, sought hard
to describe Smith with such words
as ambitious, compassionate, loving, easy going, fun loving, father,
son, husband, grandson and hero.
This young man was wonderful
growing up, said Reinhart. Many
grew up with him in Paulding. The
instincts he had in sports were the
same instincts he had that day.
When my time comes, I hope to see
him again.
Andrea Klopfenstein was raised

I was emotional. It was a beautiful ceremony, commented Paulding County Common Pleas Judge
Tiffany Beckman. Its very touching how so many people in Paulding can come together for one of
its own. We always remember and

State Rep. Tony Burkley referred
to the recent dedication of a memorial plaque in the Paulding County
Courthouse on behalf of those who
had given their lives from Paulding
County. He said that he hoped at the
time it would never happen again.
The purpose of this service was
to honor the character of Randall
Smith, said Burkley. Paulding
County is truly blessed to have
people such as Randall. He was not
only a good person but a wonderful
family man.

Whats in a number? The Lipp family knows

By JUDY WELLS
Correspondent
PAULDING For former
Paulding resident Aaron Lipp
and his family, the number 143
has always had significance. But
in May of last year, when his
parents and grandfather were
involved in an auto accident on
U.S. 24, the number took on an
even greater meaning.
On May 29, 2014, the crash
occurred at the intersection of
U.S. Route 24 and a county
road in Emerald Township.
The number of that county road
was 143. A southbound vehicle
failed to yield the right of way
while crossing the highway and
struck the Chevrolet Equinox
driven by Aarons dad, Gary.
Also in the vehicle were his
mom, Janice, and his grandfather, Karl Werling.
Karl was killed instantly.
Gary and Janice both sustained
critical injuries and were flown
to a Fort Wayne hospital by Samaritan helicopters. Janice was

other hikers, but most of the

time I was alone, he says. Occasionally Id meet someone
going the other way, or some
hikers would overtake me, but I
never had anyone to walk with
or talk to. The solitude was awesome. Hiking the trail was an
amazing adventure, but a challenge for me as well. So I didnt
have to carry all my food with
me, Id mail packages to myself at some of the post offices
or grocery stores in the towns
along the trail. That made it a lot
easier than trying to carry everything at once.
One of Aarons most precious
memories of his trip came on a
foggy day in the Smoky Mountains in Tennessee.
I was up on a mountain top
in the fog, by myself, and all I
could see were the tops of other
mountains, he recalls.
They looked like islands
that went off into the distance.
At that moment I knew I was at
peace. If you believe in that sort
of thing, it was like heaven on
earth. It was just an incredible
day when the fog lifted the
sun, the blue sky, and the beautiful mountains in the distance. I
finished my hike in Tennessee,
at Carvers Gap. I hadnt planned
it that way but I ended up where
the Appalachian Trail crossed
North Carolina Road 143. Im
sure that was my mom and
grandfathers way of telling me
everything would be okay.
Authors note: Aaron says
support was great for the scholarship in his mothers name
and that he raised quite a bit
of money for the fund. If you
would like to donate or would
like more information, you may
contact Maria Rellinger, treasurer at Paulding School.

Work to be done before

wedding in two weeks
This is already Thursday
and its time I get this column
written. Today, July 30, is
nephew Stevens eighth birthday so happy birthday wishes
go to him!
It seems like the days are
flying by. Tomorrow in two
weeks is the wedding for Timothy and daughter Elizabeth. I
ordered 350 pounds of chicken
this morning for that day. Joes
cousin will grill it for us on the
morning of the wedding.
Last week we attended the
wedding of niece Katie Edna
and Ben. They had a very nice
day for their wedding. All of
Joes siblings were there except for one of his brothers.
There are 12 siblings so it was
nice that most could be there.
Hopefully all of them will be
able to make it here for Elizabeths wedding.
We arrived back home at
midnight from the wedding
and we had to get up a little
after 3 a.m. for Joe to go to
work. I could go back to bed
but Joe had a rough day and
was glad to see Friday evening
come.
Yesterday Timothys parents, sisters, sister-in-law and
some of their children, my
sisters Verena, Susan, Emma,
and Emmas children Emma
and Steven, came to help us.
They made noodles using well
over 200 eggs. We saved the
egg whites and put them in
bags in the freezer which
will be used to make angel
food cakes for the wedding.
The helpers washed all the
dishes in both my cupboards
and corner cupboard. Some
went out to work in the garden and finished weeding and
tilling most of it. The younger

Commissioners Journal
Commissioners Journal July 8, 2015
This 8th day of July, 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
Bill Edwards, Health Department, met with the commissioners to report the need for a safe house for people who
are potential Ebola carriers. He has been working on updating
the county plans to comply with the grant requirements. Update plans are to be completed by Aug. 1, 2016. PUI (Persons
Under Investigation) are to be monitored for 21 days after exposure to Ebola. Edwards noted that most PUIs are able to
self monitor; however, some need to be in a safe house. Several possible safe house sites were discussed. Any site chosen
would need to meet the quarantine and isolation laws.
County Auditor Claudia Fickel and Treasurer Lou Ann
Wannemacher - The commissioners discussed the feasibility
of using land banks for foreclosure properties. Klopfenstein
had learned about this option at a recent meeting he attended.
Wannemacher discussed a website for her office. She had
a quote to present. Wannemacher noted several ways her
office could benefit from a website; on-line paying of taxes,
answers to frequently asked questions (FAQs), links to other
offices websites, and completion of forms (address changes
and CAUV, etc.) to name a few. Fickel inquired as to WiFi
availability in the courthouse.
Jerry Zielke, economic development, presented the community visit evaluations and community action prioritization
report as prepared by Insite Consulting of Greer, S.C. Zielke
was very appreciative of the AEP sponsoring Insites visit to
Paulding County. He noted the visit and report generated by
Insite was very beneficial.
Zielke and the commissioners then discussed TIFs and the
Paulding Industrial Park.
Brenda Crawford and Janet Commers, Board of Elections
Crawford presented a quote for electronic poll books from
Knowink. She noted the board has suggested they purchase
20, one for each precinct with several back-ups. Crawford
indicated she would like to purchase the electronic poll books
by August so the poll workers will have time to be trained
and become accustomed to the books.
Crawford also explained that Knowink and Triad GSI
(current voting machine company) have the capability of
transferring data back and forth, updating each system.

Crawford anticipates there will soon be voting centers,
making it possible for constituents to vote at any precinct in
the county. Electronic voting machines and electronic poll
books are steps in that direction.
She and Commers reminded the commissioners that the
Secretary of State has mandated raises for the board of election members over the next couple of years.
Chad Crosby, engineers office, met with the commissioners to open the bids for the 2015 Auglaize Township, et al.
Road Improvements project (see resolution below).
Ed Bohn, Paulding County EMA, reported government
entities have a window of opportunity to get reimbursement
for documented flood damage repairs. He noted the state will
pay $3.56 per county resident (as determined by the 2010
census), which is roughly $70,000 for Paulding County.
Bohn further noted that manpower hours (including volunteer hours), equipment, and supplies used may all be billed
for reimbursement. He has notified village mayors, township
trustees and the county engineer, encouraging them to work
up bills to submit. The bills need to be submitted by Tuesday,
July 14.
Bohn reminded the commissioners of the LEPC meeting later today at the health department. He asked that the
commissioners be thinking of candidates to fill soon-to-be
expired LECP board member positions.
Bohn and the commissioners discussed the status of the
mitigation plan. He explained he is meeting with the intern
from the state tomorrow to try and complete the plan.
County Court Judge Suzanne Rister The commissioners
reviewed the estimate for replacing the water pipes in the
County Annex building. Judge Rister asked when the work
would begin, noting scheduling is an issue because of court
hearings. The commissioners suggested she call the contractor/plumber to work out certain days that would be best to do
the work that would disrupt court the least.
The commissioners then discussed the condition of the
County Annex east parking lot. Judge Rister noted the lot
does need attention, especially the alley and pavement leading
up to the exterior door.

Lovinas daughters and extended family pressed out oodles of

noodles drying here for the wedding meal.
girls washed off the outside

porch and railings. So much
was accomplished! Everyone
brought something for lunch
so I didnt have to take time to
make lunch.
I painted the new closet
that Joe put in for me in our
bedroom. Joe put in a new
floor and brother-in-law Jacob hung the doors and trim.
Now today Im excited to be
able to fill it and I know that
wont take long. I also want to
wash off walls and ceilings in
our bedroom today. The girls
are washing clothes. Joseph,
13, has been going with Benjamin, 16, every day to help
Mose at his sawmill. Moses
brother Freeman injured his
leg so he needed help stacking
wood.
I still havent sewn my
dress for the wedding. I have
it cut out already. My goal
is to work on it tomorrow. It
seems I keep pushing it off every week, and I need to sew it
before I cant concentrate on
it. Most of the other sewing is
done, thanks to Elizabeth.
Church services will be held
here a little over a week after
the wedding. We will have it
in the pole barn where we will
have the tables for the wedding. What a relief it will be
when all of it is over.

We hope tomorrow will be
a nice day for Lyle and Leah. I
saw them in town one evening
this week. I told them Im not
sure if we will make it to their
wedding as Joe is having a
hard time taking more days off
from the factory. They said if
we cant make it for the wedding, we can come for supper,
so we will see if we can make
it. Appreciate the invitation!

Pickup crashes
along river
From Staff Reports

CHARLOE A Continental man was seriously injured last
week after his pickup truck went over an embankment along the
Auglaize River north of Charloe.
According to troopers from the Ohio Highway Patrols Van
Wert Post, the crash occurred on Saturday, July 25 on Road 171,
three-tenths of a mile north of Charloe. The report was received
at 10:35 p.m.
Codi Bird, 22, of Continental, was driving his 2008 Chevy
Silverado southbound, went left of center and struck a guardrail. Troopers said the truck continued over the guardrail and
an embankment before striking several trees and coming to rest
before reaching the water.
Bird sustained incapacitating injuries and was flown by Promedica to Parkview Hospital in Fort Wayne.
No other passengers were in the vehicle. At first, emergency responders were uncertain whether Bird had been driving
alone, so as a precaution they used infrared equipment to check
the water around the crash.
The incident remains under investigation.
Assisting at at the scene were troopers from Van Wert and
Defiance posts, Gideons Towing Service and Promedica.

Progress Staff Writer
ANTWERP Known as
the Diamond of northwest
Ohio, the small Paulding
County village of Antwerp
selects one of their own each
year and gives them the title
Gem of the Year. On Saturday during the villages summer festival, Day In the Park,
the official presentation will
be made, honoring Bill Fish as
the 2015 recipient.
Fish, an employee of the
village in their maintenance
and parks department the
past eight years, is known for
his dedication to his job, the
community he loves, and the
countless number of young
people he has challenged. For
Fish, encouraging the youth of
the community and challenging them to become the best at
what they do is the daily motto
he lives by.
With his job, Bill can be
seen doing numerous tasks
from fixing minor water
line breaks, hanging up the
downtown banners, flags and
Christmas decorations, planting flowers in the park and
repairing the park restrooms,
just to name a few.
Bill is not the kind of person who wants or expects any
attention. He does so much in
the village while on the clock
and even when hes off the
clock, said village fiscal officer Aimee Lichty.
Originally from Detroit,
Mich., Bill moved to Antwerp
while in the seventh grade.
He eventually met his wife
Cheryl and the two of them
have called Antwerp home for
many years.
This is a good place to call
home. Every town has a few
people who dont care about
their town. But people here
care. Its not unusual to have
people wave, say Hi and just
want to talk. People seem to
really take pride in their community, Bill said.
Its that one word challenge that explains Bills
character and vision for the
future.

This years recipient of the Antwerps Gem of the Year is Bill

Fish. Fish will be honored during festivities during Antwerp In
the Park on Saturday, Aug. 8. An employee of the village, Fish
helps motivate young people in the community to work hard and
be the best at all they do in life.
Every day is a challenge
for me. Im proud of who I
am and what I have become. I
challenge myself everyday to
do my job and to do the best
job possible, Fish commented.
One of Bills challenges in
life is that of working with
young kids and making a difference in their lives. Fish
likes to work out and is serious about his physical stature.
In the 1990s he had a burning
desire to help young kids become stronger and better in
the field of athletics.
Its just the way I am. Ive
always wanted to challenge
young people to be better
physically as well as doing
their best in everyday life situations. There are enough bad
people in the world and I do
what I can to help these kids
be the best they can be on the
inside and out, Fish said.
Bills friendship with the
community kids took a positive turn when he and Cheryl
attended their first girls volleyball game.
My wife and I just love
these kids so much and a few
years ago when Toni Winslow
was on the volleyball team we
attended the game. We quickly
noticed not many were attending and showing these kids the
kind of support they deserved.
There was not much of a fan
base and we decided at that
moment that these kids need
support and since that time we
have attended every game we
possibly can.
Fish went on to say, After
that first volleyball game, it
seemed like the kids started
noticing our presence and they
liked the idea that we were

there supporting them. I remember when (Toni) Winslow
came to us and said, When
you are here watching us, we
have more confidence and we
play better.
Fish admits that when you
hear those kinds of statements
from young people, you feel
a responsibility to do all you
can to challenge them to think
outside the box.
Whatever I can do to build
their confidence, get them
to play harder and better, to
push them out of their comfort
zone, then I think these kids
will realize they have more
on the inside of them to accomplish more than they ever
dreamed, Fish said.
When it comes to being
named 2015 Gem of the Year,
Bill is not the type of guy to
stand out in order for people to
notice him.
I just go out each day and
do my job. I certainly never
expected anything like this.
Its an honor and I appreciate
the opportunity to represent
Antwerp as this years Gem,
but to be honest, being in the
limelight is the last thing I
would ever want, Fish said.
On Saturday, Fish will
have no choice but to step
outside his comfort zone and
enjoy the limelight. It will be
a challenge for him, but like
so many young people who
Bill successfully tutored over
the years, he too, will meet
the challenge and then come
Monday morning he will be
back on the job. No fanfare,
but doing what he really enjoys, making Antwerp a better
place to call home.

Behind It Is No Secret
Recently I was looking at
an old picture of me and my
little brother, which was taken
some time in the 1950s. Little
Jimmy and I were sitting on
Grandmas piano bench looking right into the camera. I still
remember the room we were
in, which not only had those
old plastic drapes, but held
Grandmas old upright piano.
On the piano were pieces of
sheet music and I can see the
name of one of them was It Is
No Secret.
Most of us older people
are familiar with that sweet
old gospel tune, but it is one
that has stuck in my mind for
many years. I was recently researching another topic when
I came across the history of
the song and its writer, Stuart
Hamblen. Yes, there is a good
history behind this and I cant
keep it a secret.
Back in the 50s, Stuart
Hamblen was a well-known
comedian, radio host and song
writer. He was also known as
quite a rebel rouser, drinker
and a woman chaser. In fact,
one of his hit songs had the
phrase, I wont go hunting
with you Jake, but Ill go chasing women.
One day a young minister
came into town holding a tent
revival. Hamblen wanted to
get the preacher to appear on
his radio show, supposedly to
poke fun at him, so he made a
trip that night to the revival to
gain some more information.
In the middle of his sermon,
the preacher announced, God
told me there is a man in this
audience who is a fake. Well
that could have been anyone,
A Penny for
Your Thoughts
By
Nancy Whitaker
but Stuart Hamblen was sure it
was him. He didnt like it and
wanted no part of it. (They call
this conviction.)
Still the words continued
to haunt him, until a couple
of nights later, he showed up
drunk at the preachers hotel
door around 2 a.m. demanding
that the preacher pray for him.
The preacher refused, saying,
This is between you and God
and Im not going to get in the
middle of it.
However, he did invite Stuart in and they talked until
about 5 a.m. at which point
Stuart with tears, cried out
to God and accepted Christ.
However, this is not the end of
the story.
Stuart quit drinking, quit
chasing women, and he quit
everything that was fun.
Soon he began to lose favor
with the Hollywood crowd.
He was ultimately fired by the
radio station when he refused
to accept a beer company as
a sponsor. Hard times were
upon him. He tried writing a
couple of Christian songs,
but the only one that had much

success was This Old House
written for his friend Rosemary Clooney.
As he continued to struggle,
a long-time friend, John, took
him aside and told him, All
your troubles started when
you got this-here religion. Was
it really worth it all?
Stuart answered simply
Yes. Then his friend asked,
You liked your booze so
much, dont you ever miss it?
And his answer was No.
John then said, I dont understand how you could give it
up so easily. Stuarts response
was Its no big secret. All
things are possible with God.
To this John said, Thats
a catchy phrase. You should
write a song about it. As they
say, The rest is history.
The chorus of the song goes
like this: It is no secret what
God can do. What Hes done
for others, Hell do for you.
With arms wide open, Hell
welcome you. It is no secret,
what God can do.
The song went on to become
a favorite hymn of many people. However, what is amazing
is this: the friend, John, was
none other than John Wayne.
Plus, the young preacher who
refused to pray for him was ...
Billy Graham.
I have played and sang this
beloved song so many times in
my life, but did not know its
history, I found it fascinating.
Have you ever heard the
song, It Is No Secret?Have
you ever sang it? Have you
ever been to a tent revival? Let
me know and Ill give you a
Penny for Your Thoughts.
SWCD attends field

day in Fulton County
By Staci Miller
Education specialist
Paulding SWCD
On July 30, the Paulding
Soil and Water Conservation District staff attended
the Field-to-Lake Field Day
in Fulton County. This field
day offered a variety of different sessions that covered soil
health, cover crops, two stage
ditches, conservation systems
and gypsum research.
The speaker for each session where specialists in their
fields. First, Joe Nester, an independent ag consultant spoke
about the 4Rs which include
the proper nutrient rates, times
and placement.
Dr. Hans Kok with Soil
Health Partnership discussed
the importance of soil health
and ways to improve soil
structure through no-till farming, crop rotations and cover
crops.
Javier Gonzalez, a research soil scientist with USDA-ARS-National Soil Erosion Research Lab (NSERL),
conducted a demonstration
using a life size rain simulator to demonstrate the reduced
soil erosion when gypsum is
applied.
Then Dr. Warren Dick, a professor of Soil and Environmental Chemistry from OSU-ATI
spoke about the background
of gypsum and its potential
application for impacting soil
quality and soil fertility as well
as improving water quality by
reducing loss of soluble phosphorus from the fields.
There was also a soil pit with
a smoking tile demonstration
done by Frank Gibbs, who is

Doctor Jeff Pruitt, a general surgeon serving Paulding County Hospital as well as Mercy Defiance Clinic and Mercy Defiance Hospital, spent five days in Kenya on a medical missions trip.
Pruitt is surrounded by some of the local personnel who assisted in the clinic. Physicians treated
over 2,000 during their stay. Pruitt called it a positive experience and hopes to return again to help
those in East Africa.
Lutheran team treats over

2,000 patients in five days
DEFIANCE Jeff Pruitt, M.D., general
surgeon at Paulding County Hospital, Mercy
Defiance Clinic and Mercy Defiance Hospital, recently returned from a medical mission
trip to Kenya in eastern Africa where the team
treated 2,072 patients over five days, an amazing feat for four doctors and two advanced
practice nurses, even with the enthusiastic
help of numerous translators and lay volunteers.
It was a really good a great experience,
Dr. Pruitt said, so great that he is considering
making it an annual event.
The people I worked with were exceptional. The medical professionals and lay volunteers all had tremendous energy and commitment to serving.
Dr. Pruitt was part of a Mercy Medical
Team of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod
(LCMS), and worked in cooperation with the
Lutheran church in Chesinende. Their clinic
was set up in the church compound and volunteers from the church served as translators and
lay assistants. The medical staff included Dr.
Pruitt and another U.S. doctor, two Kenyan
physicians, two Kenyan advanced practice
nurses, plus nurses, a pastor and lay volunteers
from the U.S.
The team provided only primary care, no
surgery, but the care provided by LCMS Mercy Medical Teams is much more than is usually available. Prevalent problems were diarrhea, fevers and respiratory problems.
We had a pharmacy and prescribed medications, and we had respiratory therapy, which
we used a lot because asthma was common.
One of the Kenyan members of the team provided counseling about HIV/AIDS, which is a
large problem in Africa, Dr. Pruitt said.
Amazingly, we did not have any patients
test positive for malaria while we were there,
although we did see some patients who were
suffering from complications of malaria they
had contracted earlier. One child in particular
was suffering some serious handicaps as a result of malaria.
The translators were a key to successful
treatment. The Kenyan medical professionals
and some of the patients were fluent in both
of Kenyas official languages, English and
Swahili. Many patients spoke a bit of English
but not always enough for the professionals
to make a diagnosis. And some patients, particularly the older people, communicated in a
tribal language that none of the medical professionals understood.
The people of Chesinende are of the Kalenjin tribe, sometimes called Kenyas running
tribe because of the number of internationally
recognized distance runners it has produced,
including Olympic Gold Medalist Kip Keino.
The medical professionals shared knowledge and collaborated well.
We had truly collegial relationships and
learned from each other, Dr. Pruitt said.

There is a vast difference between the resources we are accustomed to having available to us here in the U.S. and those generally
available to our Kenyan colleagues. For that
reason, treatments are different. I found everyone willing to share and to listen.
Dr. Pruitt, who is a member of St. John
Lutheran Church in Defiance and a leader of
its Stephen Ministry program, enjoyed opportunities to get to know the people and understand more about their culture, sometimes
over a cup of tea which the Kenyans brew
with milk rather than water.
Worship also provided opportunities to connect.
The practice is that after the service, everyone walks outside and forms a large circle to
share greetings, followed by another song and
then another prayer and blessing by the pastor.
Its very cool, Dr. Pruitt said.
Music is central to Kenyan life and worship.
Dr. Pruitt remembers with awe how the community was summoned to the church to bid
farewell to the medical team.
One man started singing a song called
Zacchaeus, in Swahili, and then others
joined in, adding complicated harmonies and
rhythms that swelled as the congregation gathered, he recalled.
In many ways, it was a metaphor for his
mission experience, which began with a little
voice speaking to his own heart about mission
opportunities, followed by a his wife, Kris, and
his family adding their voices in support, then
the medical team leaders and then the voices
of his Kenyan colleagues and finally the people of Chesinende. The melody keeps playing
in his head, and he thinks it will likely call him
back to Kenya or another outpost where a Lutheran Mercy Medical Team is needed.

Caleb and Cooper are the

newest PCSO canine duo
By DENISE GEBERS
PAULDING Cooper is on the job!
After 14 weeks of training, Paulding Countys
second K9 unit, Cooper, and his handler, Deputy
Caleb Miller, are on patrol. The pair took to the
streets July 28.
Caleb describes Cooper as a dual purpose dog
who is trained in patrol/tracking and narcotics.
The team holds certificates from the Ohio
Peace Officer Training Academy and the International Police Work Dog Association.
Deputy Miller said he was selected as the offices second canine handler in March. Shortly
thereafter he met Cooper, who is not quite two
years old yet, and they began classes in Allen
County, Ind.
Beginning on April 13, the duo worked Mondays through Fridays on tracking, obedience, aggression, control, narcotics and article searches.
Some days were 8 a.m. until 4:30 p.m., while others ran from 3 to 11 p.m., depending on what was
being taught.
Cooper is able to detect marijuana, methamphetamine, heroin, cocaine, crack and Ecstacy,
according to his handler. His tracking abilities are
honed at finding articles that may be evidence phones, keys, weapons, etc.
After their July 17 graduation, the pair passed
their Ohio state certification on July 21 in Van
Wert.
Cooper met Yano, the countys other K9 unit,
for the first time on Aug. 1.
They will both be part of a demonstration at An-
twerps Day in the Park this Saturday, Aug. 8 at

1:30 p.m.
Im excited for Caleb to get started with his
new partner, said Sheriff Jason Landers. He has
lots of energy and enthusiasm.
Caleb has been with the sheriffs office full time
since June 2013. In addition to being a K9 handler,
he is trained to dismantle meth labs, completing
that training just before entering the Allen County (Ind.) Police Department K9 School in Fort
Wayne.
Deputy Miller graduated from the Vantage Police Academy in 2010. During 2011 he took parttime positions with Payne, Antwerp and Oakwood
police departments as a patrolman.
Shortly after that he began dispatching on a parttime basis at the sheriffs office and joined the reserve units there. He also worked in the jail when
called upon to do so.
A Paulding County native, Caleb graduated
from Paulding High School and from University
of Northwestern Ohio, Lima.
Calebs focus and commitment through the 14week training was strong. His wife was in the late
stages of her second pregnancy, noted the sheriff.
(His wife gave birth to a daughter on Friday, July
31 at nearly 42 weeks.)
Sheriff Landers said, I also appreciate Coopers
for their donation from the Cooper Foundation, as
well as other individuals and businesses that doDenise Gebers/Paulding County Progress
nated to make this a reality.
Mars Pet Care, formerly IAMS, out of Leipsic Cooper, the newest K9 member of the Paulding County Sheriffs office, began serving the comhas continued their commitment to feed Paulding munity Tuesday, July 28 with his handler, Deputy Caleb Miller. The pair recently completed their

McClure Farms to host statewide fundraiser
By DENISE GEBERS
GROVER HILL Terry and Lisa McClure of McClure Farms are making plans
to host this years Cultivating a Cure, Ohio
Agriculture: Connecting for Issues and a
Cure.
McClures friends and neighbors will join
representatives from commodity and agricultural pursuits from around the state. All
will gather at 1 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 16 at
the McClure Farms on Road 48 in Washington Township for this Ohio Farm Bureau
fund raiser for cancer treatment and prevention research.
We are pleased to be able to reach out
to the agricultural community and those
whove been touched by cancer in their

friends or loved ones, said Lisa. Its good
to pull the community together to fight cancer.
Senator Rob Portman (R-OH) will be the
main speaker addressing those assembled
for both a meal and an opportunity to interact and network.
Portman was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2010 and has built a reputation in the
Senate as a conservative who is focused on
building consensus to promote pro-growth
policies that will lead to private sector job
creation, said Brent Porteus, event founder.
Senator Portman is a strong supporter
of Ohios agriculture community and has
consistently been awarded the Ohio Farm
Bureaus Friend of Farm Bureau Award, he

continued.
Porteus, a former four-year Ohio Farm
Bureau Federation president, lost his wife,
Debra, to breast cancer in 2010 after a 13year struggle with the disease. He and his
two daughters founded Cultivating a Cure
with the help of the state Farm Bureau as a
way to honor Debbie, the medical team who
cared for her, and others who are effected by
cancer.
Since its inception in 2011, this annual
event has raised over $192,000 which has
been donated to The Comprehensive Cancer
Center at the Arthur G. James Cancer Hos-

Grandparent traditions
get stuck for generations
I think our granddaughter,
Kirsten, and her grandpa have
created yet another generational connection.
It all started recently one
day when she asked me to
make up a song and sing it for
her. Immediately, my mind
called up a 55-year-old memory from a creative play a group
of us gave one time in church
camp. In it was the song, Oh
why am I so beautiful, why do
all the girls love me? Oh why I
am so beautiful, why do all the
girls love me?
Immediately, I started singing that to her and she laughed
and laughed. Spontaneously
she belted out, oh why am
I so beautiful, why do all the
dogs love me? By then we
were both laughing so hard
that we couldnt continue until
we gained our composure.
One tradition that is nearly
a year old now is grandpas
amen at meal time. Somehow, when we prayed our
mealtime prayer, I started the
tradition of saying, amen, at
least 10 times at the end of the
prayer. Kirsten sits there and
looks at me with a big grin and
just looks for that.
One day when Joyce was
here by herself with her,
grandma prayed with her before eating. When she finished,
Kirsten said, Grandma, you
gots to say more amens than
that. Grandpa says a lot more
than that.
Many more little special
connecting moments are out
there now and will hopefully
be a part of grandparent memories some day when she talks
to her children and grandchildren.
HOMESPUN
By
JIM LANGHAM
One of my favorite memories from Grandma Langham who lived in Woodburn,
actually involved my dad.
We would go to her place for
lunch on Sunday noon and in
her way of doing things, the
meal wouldnt be close to being ready.
So my dad would say, Jim,
lets walk uptown and get a
newspaper. He would have a
special sparkle in his eye and I
would know that there was going to be more to it than that,
and there was. Once we arrived at the uptown drugstore,
my dad would order us each a
chocolate sundae, if I promised not to spill it on my shirt.
There are many other memories from my Woodburn
grandma such as always
putting all blue lights on her
Christmas tree, the old fashioned antiques on the top of
her kitchen cupboard, visiting
Woodburn Days and the great
sound of the train whistle
when I was ready to curl in to
sleep.
The only grandpa I had,
and only for a short time, was

Grandpa Langham, who always convinced me there were
alligators in the pipe stand beside his old rocking chair.
My mothers mother, Grandma Cook, was a different story. Since she lived with us, it
would take volumes to cover
the Grandma stories. One
story that illustrates the word,
spoiling, could be appropriately used at times when we
would go to bed at night.
She would walk past my
dresser and rap her knuckles on
one of the top drawers. The secret we had was the fact it was
the code telling me there was a
special treat for me inside that
drawer, chocolate drops from
the downtown general store.
Both grandmas crocheted
around handkerchiefs, causing me a little embarrassment
when I would take my hanky
out in school, the white one
with flowers crocheted all
around its edges.
So here I am today, with
Kirsten playing by my feet,
wondering what she will be
saying about Grandpa Langham many years down the
road, and whether or not she
will be singing, Oh why am I
so beautiful, with her grandchildren.

People
Make the Difference
By
Byron McNutt
whenever they go.
Some people hear voices.
Some see invisible people.
Others have no imagination
whatsoever.
A bus is a vehicle that runs
twice as fast when you are
runningafter it as when you
are in it.
The last thing I want to do
is hurt you. But its still on my
list!
Light travels faster than
sound. This is why some people appear bright until you
hear them speak.
How is it one careless match
can start a forest fire, but it
takes a whole box to start a
campfire?
If I agreed with you, wed
both be wrong.
War does not determine
who is right; only who is left.
Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not
putting it in a fruit salad.
Evening news is where they
begin with Good Evening
and then proceed to tell you
why it isnt.
To steal ideas from one
person is plagiarism. To steal
from many is research.

He was a bright and precocious child, but he grew out of
it.
I thought I wanted a career.
Turns out I just wanted a paycheck.
I didnt say it was your fault.
I said I was blaming you.
Behind every successful
man is his woman. Behind the
fall of a successful man is usually another woman!
A clear conscience is a sign
of a short memory.
I asked God for a bike, but
I know He doesnt work that
way. So I stole a bike and
asked Him for forgiveness.
You do not need a parachute
to skydive. You only need a
parachute to skydive twice.
Money cant buy happiness,
but it sure makes misery easier
to live with.
Theres a fine line between
cuddling and holding someone
down so they cant get away.
Youre never too old to learn
something stupid.
Going to church doesnt
make you a Christian any
more than standing in a garage
makes you a car.
A diplomat is someone who
tells you to go to hell in such
a way that you look forward to
the trip.
Hospitality is making your
guests feel at home even when
you wish they were.
I always take life with a
grain of salt. Plus a slice of
lemon and a shot of tequila.
When tempted to fight fire
with fire, remember that the
fire department usually uses
water.
A bus station is where a bus
stops. A train station is where a
train stops. On my desk, I have
a work station.

PLUMBING AND HEATING

We never really grow up;
we only learn how to act in
public. Change is inevitable,
except from a vending machine. Those are examples of
paraprosdokians.
A paraprosdokian is a figure
of speech in which the latter
part of a sentence or phrase
is surprising or unexpected;
frequently used in a humorous
situation. Winston Churchill
loved to quote them. Larry
Tobin, publisher of the Tomahawk Leader, shared some
examples in his column about
four years ago.
I thought paraprosdokian
was a fancy name for aphorisms but aphorisms are a
little different. They are terse
sayings embodying a general
truth, or astute observation, as
Power tends to corrupt and
absolute power corrupts absolutely. Got that?
Here are some examples,
gleaned from several sources.
Where theres a will, I want
to be in it.
Do not argue with an idiot.
He will drag you down and
beat you with experience.
The voices in my head may
not be real, but they have some
good ideas!
Always borrow money from
a pessimist. He wont expect it
back.
Some people cause happiness wherever they go. Others

Sheriff uses planning, support to ensure safety during memorial

By JIM LANGHAM
Feature Writer
PAULDING Paulding
County Sheriff Jason Landers admitted that no one on
his staff, including himself,
had ever encountered a situation much like the one last
Saturday. The Randall Smith
memorial service offered the
potential for a variety of ramifications, including terrorism,
an unclear number of people
attending as well as the influx
of media and veteran motorcycle groups totaling hundreds.
Landers wanted his department and those assisting to be
prepared to handle any situation that couple possibly arise
prior to the service, during
the service and for the time
following the service when
hundreds of people would be
leaving the area of Paulding
High School.
In his mind, there was no
doubt what needed to be done
in order to make the entire
situation as safe as possible
reach out to law enforcement
in other areas that had encountered similar situations for advice and input.
In the end, more than 140
law enforcement officers from
over 34 agencies, including
six other sheriffs and deputies, came together to take
their place in the strategic plan
Landers had been working on
for nearly two weeks.
I worked with the possibility that if one of our hometown natives was killed by the
actions of a terrorist group,

what happened to that individual was a direct threat here,
given the fact that his memorial service was being held
here, said Landers.
We not only had to think
of the service, but the potential threats this situation could
bring otherwise, continued
Landers. Obviously, we never
had to deal with anything like
that here, so we reached out
to other sheriffs to pick their
brains. We asked them what
needed to happen in Paulding.
Landers said he spent most
of his time receiving insight
from experienced individuals,
homeland security, and Navy
officials in considering any potential threats here.
We knew leading up to
the memorial service that
there were no known threats
here, continued Landers. We
planned as if there could be at
any time, even though on the
back side we knew that there
were no known threats.
Landers said he phoned
various sheriff and other law
enforcement departments requesting assistance for the situation. He was impressed with
how sheriff departments and
other law enforcement leaders
responded with sending personnel that would be qualified
for the situation.
I would have sooner erred
on having too many people and
then sending them home, noted Landers.
We looked at the landscape

around the area we had to
work with, the school campus
and the surrounding area, observed Landers. We looked at
the positions where we needed
people, counted the numbers,
and placed personnel where
needed.
Landers said that he was
pleased to receive responses
from as far away as Warren
County (near Kings Island),
Hamilton Municipal Police,
Ottawa County, Hardin County, Hancock County and vari-
Final Roll Call

With the presentation of the

military wreath and the posting of the colors, the sound of
a bagpipe could be heard at
the rear of the large sanctuary.
As the bagpiper entered the
gym, several hundred motorcycle riders and veterans filed
into the gym for nearly 25 minutes. Many of the cyclists paid
homage by saluting the military
wreath that graced the center of
the stage honoring Smith.
Those in attendance stood for
the playing and singing of the
Star Spangled Banner prior to
those who came to the podium
to speak.
The Rev. Drew Gardner, former pastor at Emmanuel Baptist
Church in Paulding and Smiths
former family pastor, led the
service. He said that of all of
his great acts, Smith will undoubtedly be remembered for
the way he protected his fellow
man when the terrorist entered
Navy Operational Support Center building in Chattanooga,
Tenn.
When the terrorist came in,
other people fled the building,
said Gardner. Randall headed
toward the terrorist. His action
saved at least 10 seconds, a lot
of time in military action. Randall proved to be a real American hero.
Gardner said that Smith
wasnt supposed to be at the office the day of the incident, but
had come in to work on a project.
Gardner, who had made two
trips to Chattanooga since that
fateful day, said that it has been
incredible the way the Chattanooga community has given
back to Smiths wife and children in appreciation.
State Rep. Tony Burkley
referred to a wall of honor
ceremony recently held at the
Paulding County Courthouse
recognizing those from Paulding County who have given
their lives to their country. He
noted that no one realized that
another life would be recognized so soon.
We prayed that we would
never have to add another
name, said Burkley, but thats
not the case. As long as there is
evil in the world, young people

are going to find themselves in
harms way.
We are proud of Randall,
proud of his service and commitment to his country and family. We are proud of the way he
has represented Paulding County, added Burkley.
Three local residents who
knew Smith as an athlete growing up also shared memories of
a young man who was a normal
kid growing up in a small town
but had a knack for playing baseball at a high level.
Greg Reinhart, recalled being
Smiths baseball coach and how
he played with natural instincts
that made him a good player.
I believe it were those kinds
of instincts that kicked in that
day. I wish I knew why the good
Lord took him from us though. I
know He has a plan.
Jeff Dye, a neighbor to Smiths
grandparents, said Smith made
an impact on peoples lives.
He never had it easy growing
up but he knew the importance
of knowing Jesus as his Savior,
said Dye, who went on to point
out what was written on the memorial card given to those who
entered the gym, I know Im
going to heaven, Papa. I trusted
Jesus as my Savior. Those were
Smiths words he shared with his
grandpa in 2007.
Joel Parrett, who coached
Smith when he wore the Paulding Panther baseball uniform,
often times had to fight back the
tears as he spoke about his former player.
He (Smith) was a quiet leader on the field who led through
his actions. He was disciplined
and I feel he used those qualities
as he served the Navy, said Parrett.
Parrett concluded, Im proud
of Randall Scott Smith, not only
for the life he gave but for the life
he lived.
In his closing comments,
Gardner impressed upon those
listening how the nation needs to
be gospel strong, not just Chattanooga or Fort Oglethorpe strong.
Quoting John 15:13, Gardner
said, Greater love hath no man
than this, that a man lay down
his life for his friends.
He praised the life of Smith

and how on that day, July 16, his
willingness to lay down his life
for a friend.
There is beauty in all of that.
He (Smith) lived his life for a
cause bigger than himself. He
lived his life for his family, for
his country and he lived his life
for his Lord and Savior Jesus
Christ.
The service closed with the
traditional 21-gun salute followed by the playing of Taps.
The final act of the memorial service took place at the
gravesite of Smiths grandparents, Hiriam and Cathrin Smith,
where a spent shell from the 21gun salute was buried.
ous other surrounding communities.

The last few days were spent
in organizational meetings. By
Saturday morning, Landers
said he had one final meeting,
went over assignments one
more time, broke them down
with their commanding officers and sent them on their
way.
The whole purpose was
to show the respect that Randall Smith and his family deserved, said Landers.
Landers said that he was also

mindful of the large number of
bikes from different veteran
organizations that would be in
town. In the end, Landers estimated that between 700 and
800 bikes carrying over 1,000
people rode into town.
As I rode around town, I
was proud of all of the flags
and the patriotic atmosphere of
the people, said the Sheriff. I
was proud of such a patriotic
small town atmosphere.
Landers said there is no way
to describe what he felt when

he finally left for home on Saturday afternoon after everyone
had left and the duties of the
day had subsided.
When I left that afternoon,
I felt a little different knowing
that everyone was safe, said
Landers. Everybody went
home to their families safe.
The Smith family felt safe the
whole time. Tracy (Smith)
couldnt say enough about the
communitys outpouring of
love for his family.
700 motorcycles take

part in procession
By MELINDA KRICK
Progress Editor
PAULDING Motorcycle riders from
Ohio, Indiana and Michigan and other states
from as far as Arizona participated in a procession of motorcycles to the Randall Smith
memorial service on Aug. 1 in Paulding. Eric
Holzer of Napoleon, who retired from the
Navy, helped organize the procession. He
estimates 700 motorcycles and 1,000 riders
were in attendance.
It was a procession of volunteers who
wanted to pay their respects, Holzer said.
We wanted to give comfort and support to
the community.
They represented many different groups,
including chapters of Combat Veterans of
America, AMVETS riders, Patriot Guard,
Freedom Riders, Returning American Warriors and American Legion Riders. Some riders were not affected with any organizations.
A large group of motorcycles gathered
in Defiance Saturday morning then traveled
together to Paulding, forming a line six miles
long while en route. In Paulding, they met up
with additional riders before forming a procession to the school.
Ill never know every name of every
rider, no one in your village will know every name, but they will never forget the day
when hundreds of riders came in to pay their
respects to someone from their hometown,
Holzer said.

event, visit our website at www.progressnewspaper.org.

The 4-H Camp Scholarship program was granted by United Way of Paulding County $2,000 to
support youth in grades 3-8 who would be financially unable to attend 4-H camp. Though typically thought of as an agriculturally focused organization, 4-H now focuses on citizenship, healthy
living, science, engineering and technology programs. Over 130 students throughout the county
attended camp this year. Michael Schweinsberg, Paulding County 4-H Council and The OSU Extension, accepts the allocation from UWPC vice president Pam Miller.
United Way of Paulding County allotted Paulding County American Red Cross Disaster Services
Program $7,000 to support participants in need of emergency assistance. The goal of this agency
is to lend service to people regardless of socioeconomic status when victims need emergency
services related to tornado, fire, and flood or wind damage. The Paulding County Red Cross is
governed by volunteers and supported by community donations. Here, UWPC vice president Pam
Miller presents the allocation to David Collins of American Red Cross, Paulding County.

By JOE SHOUSE
PAULDING The Paulding
Village Council met in special
session on July 29 to follow
through on an emergency ordinance prohibiting unlawful
picketing of a memorial service and/or a funeral.
On Saturday, Aug. 1, a memorial service was scheduled
at Paulding High School to
honor and memorialize Navy
Petty Officer 2nd Class Randall Smith.
Originally from Paulding,
Smith, a 2007 Paulding High
School graduate, was serving
in the U.S. Navy and was stationed in Chattanooga, Tenn.
On July 16, two military facilities were attacked by a single
sniper and Smith along with
three Marines were gunned
down.
Reports were received by
both the Paulding County
Sheriffs office and the Paulding County Prosecutors office that people could be in
Paulding to picket the military
memorial service. With the
possible activity taking place
on Saturday, village council
acted quickly to secure measures limiting protests during
such occasions.
Discovering the village had
no ordinance prohibiting picketing at funeral or memorial
services, council passed an ordinance in emergency session.
Village solicitor Mike Jones
said there is a federal statute on this type of picketing,
but at the local level there is
no way to enforce the statute.
According to Jones, in 2010,
St. Charles County, Mo., had
adopted a similar statute. The
statute was opposed and litigated into federal court, where
it was approved. The federal
court approved the statute
based on having the picketers

300 hundred feet away from
premises and limiting the
picketing to one hour prior and
one hour after the ceremony.
Councilman Roger Sierer
asked if the design of the ordinance was for military picketing. Jones explained that it is
designed for any kind of memorial service.
Following the motion to suspend the rules by Jim Guelde,
seconded by Tom Diaz, the ordinance passed unanimously.
Following the vote, Jones
suggested any violations
should be filed in the Paulding
County Court instead of Mayors Court. The violation is a
first degree misdemeanor and
fined up to $1,000.
According to the Paulding
Police Department, no permit
is necessary in order to protest
an event or activity within the
village.
IPFW now offers in-state tuition to Paulding County students

FORT WAYNE Residents of the
eight Ohio counties within driving
distance of Fort Wayne are now eligible for in-state tuition rates at Indiana
UniversityPurdue University Fort
Wayne (IPFW). This change comes
thanks to a recent expansion of the
reciprocity agreement between Indianas Commission for Higher Education and the Ohio Board of Regents.
Effective July 1, IPFW now offers Indiana in-state, resident tuition

rates to students in eight additional
Ohio counties closest to Fort Wayne:
Allen, Auglaize, Defiance, Fulton,
Henry, Paulding, Putnam and Williams. Eligible students still have
time to begin taking classes in fall
semester.
I have worked on this project
even before becoming the PCED

director in October 2013. Getting
these additional counties included in
the program will provide savings for
students attending IPFW from this
area of northwest Ohio, said Paulding County Economic director Jerry
Zielke.

Semi snags power lines
From Staff Reports

PAULDING Timothy A. Freeman, 38, of
Covington, Tenn., was cited for disobeying
a traffic sign following an accident that left
many without power for several hours.
According to the Paulding Police Department, the incident occurred at 12:12 p.m. July
28 when Freeman attempted a turn onto Perry Street from Walnut in a 2013 Peterbuilt
semi-trailer rig.
The trailer caught a utility pole, causing
three other poles to fall: one on the northwest corner of the intersection, which fell
on the former Fishbaugh medical office; the
metal pole in front of Boyds Automotive,
which bent over at the ground; and one on the

southwest corner of the Boyd property, which
broke off and fell on a parked, unoccupied
2010 Chevy Aveo owned by Lindsay Adkins
of Paulding.
About a 10-block area of downtown Paulding was without power until about 8:30 p.m.
that evening. The outage impacted 140 American Electric Power customers.
There were no injuries. The semi rig was
undamaged. Damage to the car was functional.
Police were assisted in their investigation
by the Ohio State Highway Patrols Motor

COLUMBUS - The scam

pops up every year when the
weather turns nice-you get a
knock on the door, and on the
other side is someone offering
to seal your driveway, trim your
trees, or repair your roof. Many
times, these itinerant workers
take your money but dont do the
work. And more times than not,
they target senior citizens.
The Better Business Bureau
(BBB) is providing tips which
explain how scammers take
advantage of consumers which
will help you, your family and
your friends avoid paying for
jobs that wont get done.
One elderly Central Ohio
woman was recently approached
at her home with the offer of
having her driveway sealed. She
told BBB, He told me that because my driveway wasnt very
big and that I was a senior citizen
that if I would pay cash, I could
get $10 off of the services. I told
the man, Todd Thornhill, that I
didnt keep very much cash on
me and I could pay only $100

in cash and the other by check
which I wrote in the amount of
$130 paid to him. They only
completed half of my driveway
and told me they had to get more
seal coat and would be right
back. They didnt return and also
stole my gas leaf blower and a
rake.
Here are some of the most
common methods scammers use
to urge consumers, especially
the elderly, into giving up their
money, property or personal information.
Social Consensus: Most of
us have a tendency to take comfort in if everyone is using it, it
must be ok mindset, and scammers know it. Many times they
will use phrases like, We were
working at your neighbors, or
Several houses in the area have
used our services. This makes
consumers feel secure because
people they trust are using the
company, so theyre probably reliable. Unfortunately, the
Senior center plans August events

PAULDING Paulding County Senior

scammers are usually using the

same lines on everyone in the
neighborhood.
Reciprocity: Many times
we hear consumers say that the
person who knocked on their
door had already done something for them at no charge or
was willing to throw in something for free while completing
a bigger job. This tactic is meant
to make people feel a quid pro
quo type of mentality, and frequently people feel that since
they got something, they needed to give something. This is a
common way for consumers to
get roped into projects that they
may not even need.
Scarcity: This is the most
commonly used way for scammers to get people to take their
bait. Many times youll hear,
We are only in your area today,
or This price is available for one
day only. This high pressure to
act quickly often comes at the
end of a pitch and makes you
think: If I dont act now, this offer might not be available later,
which can escalate emotions.
The shared theme of all these
tactics is they prey on the emotions of the victim. Scammers
are practiced in the art of manipulation and persuasion, so
making yourself and family
members aware of the red
flags is an easy yet important way to avoid falling for
these schemes. Take the time
to evaluate the offer and the
emotions the pitch is designed
to illicit.
Be on the lookout for these
red flags:
Selling door-to-door
Claims of leftover asphalt
from another job
Pushing you to make a
quick decision
No written contract
Cash-only sales
Demands payment up
front
Deals that seem too good
to be true
The contractor is from
out of state or in an unmarked
truck
Checking with BBB for a
BBB Business Review is an
easy and effective way for
consumers to avoid becoming victims. Go to bbb.org for
Business Reviews on companies in Ohio and across the
country, and visit bbbhomehelp.com for tips and resources for home improvements.

This is one of six American flags handpainted and abandoned by an anonymous artist or
artists last week in honor of Randall Smith. The flags were created as part of Art Abandonment, a
worldwide movement of random acts of kindness and sharing through art.
Abandoned art left

for residents to enjoy
PAULDING A pallet flag was painted by a
local artist and abandoned in the Herb Monroe
Community Park along with five others around
Paulding last week in honor of fallen sailor Randall Smith.
Art Abandonment was started by a group of
artists who wanted to spread love by abandoning
their creations in various places for unsuspecting
people to find. The works of art are left anonymously by the creators in hopes they will bring joy,
smiles and even comfort to those who find them.
The message on the pallets reads: To whoever
finds this, this piece of abandoned art has been left
in honor of Petty Officer 2nd Class Randall Smith.
You may choose to keep it for yourself, pass it on
to someone else, or leave it for another to find. Display it with pride for our country and in memory of
Randall. Pray for his family as well as the others
that were tragically lost that day.
The Art Abandonment idea has since gained
thousands of fans, with people all over the world
joining in on the movement. The artists encourage

everyone to participate in the movement, no matter what your skill level, art style or age. Everyone
from professional artists to 5 year olds have created works of art and abandoned them around the
globe for others to find.
A note is left with each piece of abandoned art
with a short explanation of what the movement is
all about, as well as information on how to find the
group on Facebook by searching for Art Abandonment.
Artists post their pieces of art as they abandon
them, and those who are lucky enough to find
these pieces of art post about their unique finds.
Works include all media such as paintings,
drawings, pottery, jewelry, sculpture, photographs
and cards.
Anyone interested in joining the movement
and abandoning their own art works can join
the group; any current member will be more
than happy to get them started.

Veggies that revolt and bolt

Until the last couple of
weeks, we havent been particularly blessed with typically
hot, dry summer weather. In a
lot of cases, our plants have not
reacted well to all the rain and
lack of sunshine and heat.
On the other hand, there are
some things that have enjoyed a
bit longer season because of it.
Crops such as certain lettuces
and spinach have resisted bolting, due to the cooler temperatures than normal. Say what?
Bolting?
You likely know what bolting is, even if you didnt know
thats what its called. When
the temperatures heat up, certain vegetables come to the
end of their production period
by flowering and forming seed
heads. Lettuce, spinach, beets,
cabbage, cilantro, broccoli, and
basil all do it, and its a perfectly
normal occurrence.
Horticulturally, these plants
bolt because they are internally
programmed to do so when they
feel that their days are numbered. Heat is the number one
trigger setting bolting in motion
and once it starts, its next to impossible to stop it. Day length is
another stimulus.
When the ground temperature
reaches a certain level, it signals the plant to stop producing
leaves and to begin producing
flowers and seeds to ensure the
next generation is provided for.
If you catch it early enough,
just as you see the plant beginning to form flower buds, and
snip them off, it may give you
enough time to harvest more of
the crop before the edible parts
become tough and tasteless, or
In the
Garden
By
Kylee Baumle
even bitter.
Mulching the ground around
the vegetable plants will help
keep the ground cooler and may
keep bolting at bay for a bit
longer. Keeping them well-hydrated in hotter weather may
also help delay the process.
These edibles are best grown
in the early part of the growing
season, while the ground temperatures are on the relatively
cooler side and they can also be
grown again at the other end of
the season, after the mid-summer heat reaches its peak. Seeds
planted now for a fall crop will
tend to avoid bolting because
just as theyre reaching their
maturity, cooler fall temperatures will keep the leaves tasty.
If youve had enough of
whatever youve grown thats
starting to bolt, you can just
allow the plant to do its thing,
and then collect the seeds that
form for next years crop. Ive
done this many times with lettuce.
Breeders are constantly work-
ing to select crosses that are

more resistant to bolting, which
allows greater latitude in the
varieties we can grow, as well
as giving us more wiggle room
with planting times.
My lettuce hasnt yet begun
to bolt, although it may be
doing it by the time you read
this, but the spinach has come
and gone, having bolted several weeks ago. A few beet tops
have started bolting as well, but
I snipped them off. Last week, I
sowed a new crop of spinach for
fall harvesting.
For future reference, these
lettuces are known for being
slow to bolt: Red Sails,
Red and Green Oak Leaf,
Santoro, Jericho, Flashy
Trout Back, Buttercrunch,
Fireball, Black-seeded Simpson, Minetto, and Nevada.
Slow-bolting spinaches include
Indian Summer, Teton,
Tyee, Space, Olympia,
Giant Nobel and Bloomsdale
Long-standing. There are others and choosing varieties that
specifically state that they are
slow to bolt will yield the best
results.
Read more at Kylees blog,
Our Little Acre, at www.ourlittleacre.com and on Facebook
at www.facebook.com/OurLittleAcre. Contact her at PauldingProgressGardener@gmail. When lettuce bolts, the flowers can be either white, lavender, or yellow, depending on the varicom.
