PAULDING Within the
past few weeks, the future for
wind energy in Paulding
County and neighboring Van
Wert County has most likely
taken on a new look. Two recent changes from Columbus
may reverse the future countryside scenery for several proposed wind farms in Paulding
County.
However,
more important than the
change of scenery will be the
financial impact and potential
loss of income. Wind farm
revenue has been responsible
for benefiting schools as well
as several county and township entities.
On Friday, June 13, Senate
Bill 310 was signed into law
by Ohio Gov. John Kasich,
putting a two-year hiatus on
renewable-energy standards in
the state. Then Monday, June
16, Kasich put his signature on
House Bill 483 without using
a line item which would have
eliminated stiffer requirements
for setbacks of wind turbines
from property lines.
EDP Renewables, which
operates the Timber Road II
Wind Farm, will be forced to
shelve their next two phases
for clean renewable energy.
We have two projects we
want to build but will need to
shelve for now, said Erin
Bowser, director of Project
Management. Our permits

are approved by the siting

board and we have everything
we need to proceed. What we
dont have is a contract with a
utility to buy the power. And
with the two-year freeze we
wont have a contract due to
the standard changes.
Timber Road II is Ohios

first industrial scale wind farm

consisting of 55 wind turbines
producing 99 mega watts of
clean renewable energy. In
2013, Timber Road II provided approximately $1.3 million.
With the passage of Senate
Bill 310 and House Bill 483,
the county could lose $2.6 in

projected new income.

With the freeze and
changes taking place, it basically takes away from us the
ability to market our product,
said Bowser.
State Representative Tony
Burkley, supporter of the wind
farms said, The thought was

Orr Co. looks to

expand this fall

By JAROD
ROSEBROCK
Correspondent
PAULDING Paulding
auto parts manufacturer
Herbert E. Orr Co. has recently began the process of
expanding its manufacturing
facility significantly. While
the expansion is contingent
on certain funding issues, if
completed it
will be a
major addition to the
factory.
The plan
is to attach a 10,000-squarefoot building to the current
paint line facility on the
south end of the factory. The
company estimates the realproperty addition to cost approximately $686,000, and
with the purchase of new
equipment, the total cost of
the project would be about
$1 million.
In addition to the building
and equipment, Herbert E.
Orr Co. plans to add four or
five new positions to its existing labor force. According
to CEO Donna Garman, the
jobs that will be available
depend on where the need
exists after the expansion is
complete.
The project depends on
the approval of certain tax
abatements. To help fund the
new project, the company
has applied for a 10-year tax
abatement on 100 percent of
new real estate taxes incurred by the expansion.
If the tax abatements are
approved, the company can
finalize design plans and
start applying for permits.
Garman points out that, if

and how they are being met. I
certainly would have preferred
not to go with the two-year
moratorium. This is certainly
not going to benefit Paulding
or Van Wert county, he concluded.
While no official announcement has been made concerning the future of locally constructed wind farms by
Iberdrola Renewables, Project
Developer Dan Litchfield said
on Tuesday, June 17, We are
disappointed with the two recent changes in Ohios energy
policy, both their substance
and the process by which the
setback requirements were
changed. The setback provision specifically had no opportunity for public comment or
input.
Iberdrola Renewables has
37 turbines in Paulding
County with a total of 152
within the entire Blue Creek
wind farm project.
This is the fourth attempt
in three years to make changes
and get this particular bill
passed. The setback change
was done a little sneaky. The
budget bill was a 1,200-page
document and the setback provision was stuck on the last
page. There was no opportunity for testimony or comment,
said Litchfield.

multiple automobile manufacturers. Some of the parts
include wheel wrenches,
which the factory supplies
to all Honda and Toyota
plants in North America,
and
hood
prop rods,
which
it
makes for
many of the
Honda and
Toyota vehicles.
According to Garman,
the purpose of the expansion is to allow Herbert E.
Orr Co. to consolidate different areas of its manufacturing business in different
areas of the factory. The
hope is that it will also
allow for potential new
business in the future.
The new area will house
the wire forming equipment, which is used to manufacture its hood prop rods.
All of the current wire
forming equipment will be
moved to the new area, the
company will be purchasing
new equipment needed to
manufacture the prop rods,
including a CNC wire bender, wire drawing equipment and various air benders.
With the wire forming
equipment moved out of
other areas of the plant, it
will allow Herbert E. Orr
Co. to better organize the
other equipment those areas
house and will provide for a
more efficient manufacturing process.

Hospital implements
electronic record keeping
By JAROD ROSEBROCK
Correspondent
PAULDING Paulding County Hospital
has recently completed its implementation of
a new electronic health record system that
would allow the facility to keep a patients entire record as part of an electronic database.
The American Recovery and Reinvestment
Act of 2009 requires that hospitals and physicians switch over from paper records to electronic records in order to improve quality,
safety, efficiency, and reduce disparities; engage patients and family; improve care coordination; prevent duplication of services; and
provide global access to medical records
while maintaining privacy and security of patient health information.

with stage one being completed a few years
ago. Previously with stage one, a very limited
amount of data was recorded electronically including a small percentage of prescriptions;
patient demographic data for 50 percent of patients to include preferred language, gender,
race, ethnicity and date of birth; and various
other data. The remainder of the data was collected in a traditional paper chart.

Continued from Page 1A

Ohio law says turbines had

to be 1,250 feet away from the
nearest inhabited residence.
The new revision of House
Bill 483 now states turbines
must be 1,250 from the nearest
property line.
The new setbacks will make
any new wind farm difficult to
design. Of the 150 turbines at
Blue Creek Wind Farm, only
12 would adhere to the new
law. But even with the new
setback distances in force,
Ohio State Senator Cliff Hite
stated that property owners
could still proceed if a waiver
was signed.
If somebody wants to
waive that stipulation, they
may. (You would only lose
that many turbines) only if nobody waives their rights, Hite
pointed out.
Hite voted in favor of both
measures.
Litchfield said, We are currently assessing our options
for future investment in Ohio,
but theres no question that
more investment in Ohio just
became a much riskier proposition. Weve made no decisions on Ohio. We are discussing and evaluating our options. Its frustrating but it appears that for Ohio everything
looks almost impossible.
A statement directly from
the American Wind Energy
Association was harsher in
tone, quoting AWEA CEO
Tom Kiernan as saying that
Kasich and the legislature are
creating an unfriendly business environment in Ohio.
Kiernan went on to say,
Legislators rammed through
restrictive rules without due
process, and millions of dollars already invested based on
the previous set of rules may

now be lost without any public

debate. This will force clean
energy developers and manufacturers to move to neighboring states with similar resources and friendlier business
climates.
Sen. Hite, a wind energybacker, explained that with
changes in the marketplace,
perhaps having 25 percent of
the states energy coming from
renewable energy by 2025
needed to be reexamined.
It was time to have another
look at exactly what we were
doing with our in-state standards and making sure that the
average Ohioan is getting the
best bang for their buck, Hite
shared.
That was the purpose of
this. Things have changed
since we set up those standards. We didnt know about
natural gas and the supply that
exists today. That has kind of
changed the game a little bit as
far as what does give the best
bang for your buck. Its a competitive game and a its market
game and we have to look at it
and try to find out what is the
best we can do for Ohioans. So
to have a pause for a couple of
years is not a bad thing.
Hite noted that Blue Creek
will be grandfathered in to the
new rules. Actually, any wind
farm approved by the Ohio
Power Siting Board currently
qualifies to be built. Any
changes to the specifics of the
development cannot be
changed
without
being
brought under the new measurements for setbacks.
Hite concluded simply, Im

health history is now recorded electronically. This includes all test results; all orders for tests and medications
must be ordered via the computer; progress notes; histories and physicals; problem
lists; and treatment plans.
In addition to streamlining
healthcare by allowing patient records to be more easily accessed anywhere in the
country, another purpose of
this switch from paper to
electronic records is to address a nationwide problem
involving the delivery of
healthcare services.
Ruge explains that hand

not as optimistic for new projects as I was a year or two

ago.
This is an Ohio job killer,
pure and simple, wrote Mark
Goodwin, president of Apex
Clean Energy. With the setback requirement, he wrote,
Apex will have no choice but
to take its investment and its
business elsewhere. Given the
need to find new carbon-free
sources of electricity in Ohio,
we cannot imagine a worse
time to send wind energy companies packing.
Whether Iberdrola comes to
the same conclusion remains
to be seen. In a statement, the
AWEA said, The American
wind industry has generated
major economic benefits for
Ohio, which ranks first in the
nation for the number of wind
energy manufacturing facilities with more than 60 in the
state
Yet there was no opportunity for the regulators at the
Ohio Power Siting Board, nor
a single wind company operating or developing in Ohio, to
comment or provide testimony
on this matter during its short
one-week consideration in the
General Assembly
Gov. John Kasich and the
Legislature abandoned $2.5
billion in current wind energy
projects, which now face cancellation along with jobs, leases, payments to local governments, and orders for factories,
over a needlessly restrictive
setback requirement that
Kasich signed into law.

field.
For example, in the past,
patients could have been
given the wrong medication
because it sounded similar to
another medication and was
heard wrong by a health care
provider; however, with the
new electronic system, that
isnt an issue.
Additionally, there are aspects of the new system that

Ruge.
This means that Paulding
County Hospital can put
guidelines into its new electronic system that suggest to
health care professionals
what kind of care to provide

points out that this means patients at Paulding County

Months of preplanning

on the road. I want to help
mom do some weeding in the
garden if we get time tomorrow. We want to also wash
laundry tomorrow, if it
doesnt rain.
Sister Elizabeth has a Yorkshire terrier puppy. Shes only
had it for a week. She is
named Isabella. We call her
Izzy for short. She is such a
little ornery puppy sometimes. She loves to play and
all the attention she gets
around here. Elizabeth also
has a Shih Tzu dog named
Spikey. Her boyfriend Timothy keeps Spikey at his house
because he was way too
lively in our house for Mom.
Mom never allowed us to
have pets in the house, but so
far she hasnt said anything

about Izzy. Izzy is most of the

time a quiet puppy. She stays
quiet during the night and
only weighs 1-1/2 pounds so
she cant cause too much
trouble. Spikey would jump
on our beds waking us up before it was time to get up.
Timothy brings Spikey along
sometimes, so we still get to
play with him. I take care of
Izzy while Elizabeth is at
work. She is pretty well litter
box trained already.
Friday night our family
was invited to Timothys
brother JR and Rachels
house for a birthday party for
Elizabeth. Elizabeth will be
20 on June 14th. Rachel
baked and decorated a very
nice cake for Elizabeth. JR
and Rachel have 10 children
ages 11 months to 14 years
old, so she is a busy mother.
We had a lot of fun with the
little children. On the menu
for supper was homemade
pizza, ice cream, cake and
watermelon.
Saturday evening cousins
Elizabeth, 17, Emma, 16 and
I went to the community
building where all the youth
gather on Saturday evenings.
We took Jacob and Emmas
horse Silver and the buggy.
He is a big gray horse and
seems to do a good job to let
us drive him. The youth play
games such as volleyball,
basketball and board games,
etc. There are usually two sets
or more of parents at the
building to chaperone us
youth. They bring snacks and
drinks for everyone. Ivan and
Ruth and another couple that

I didnt recognize were chaperones on Saturday evening.

They treated us all to pizza
and pop which we all enjoyed. Elizabeth, Emma and I
decided to spend the night at
our friend Rhondas house instead of driving home after
dark. We started for home the
next morning after it was daylight.
Sunday night, cousins Elizabeth, Emma and I took our
horse Itty Bit and our buggy
to the youth singing. It was at
Tim and Violets house which
is probably around eight
miles from here. For supper
they had a casserole, hot dog
sandwiches, salad, watermelon, strawberries, cake and
ice cream.
I need to get busy and I
hope I wrote the column okay
for you readers. Take care and
God bless!

Winning the Battle for a Generation

PAULDING Robin Theis

is a veteran on the topic of rejection.
She spent several years of
her childhood in a childrens
home. She married at a young
age and raised her children to
love life and to appreciate the
simplest of things.
She found that the rejection
she had experienced caused
many problems in her early
years of child rearing and in her
marriage. Losing her son to
suicide set her on a search for
answers, and what she found
was the rejection in his marriage led him to take his life.

Lessons from the
public records
audit: 10 years after

By Dennis Hetzel, ONA executive director

Theres good news for Ohio citizens in the results of a
statewide, county-by-county public records audit that was
conducted by more than 60 Ohio media outlets in April
under the auspices of the Ohio Coalition for Open Government.
But you shouldnt get too excited. Problems with open
records in Ohio are deeper and more complicated than ever.
Let me explain why.
Why were this years results so much better? I suspect the
main reason is greater awareness by government officials
and it also suggests that, stereotypes to the contrary, local
newspapers continue to keep local officials on their toes.
The training of local officials on the importance and requirements of Ohios records laws is far broader and more consistent than it was in 2004, the last time such an audit was
conducted.
However, keep the results in perspective. This is all the
audit showed: When you request a record from local government, and theres no doubt its a public record, the chances of
obtaining the record in the correct manner are quite good.
Emphasize that phrase no doubt. Attorneys who are experts
on Ohio laws checked our requests in advance. Records such as
meeting minutes, salary information and expense reports, are
unquestionably public records.
The problem is this: A string of court decisions and legislative
changes over the past 10 years have closed more records than
ever and shifted the burden of proof strongly against citizens
when there is any ambiguity.
In other words, when a government official wants to say
no, unless it is 99 percent clear that the record is open, it is
getting harder and harder to win. Even if you do, the Ohio
Supreme Court has taken what legislators made difficult and
now made it nearly impossible to collect attorney fees. This
means only the wealthiest can afford to pursue these cases, giving government a tremendous tactical advantage. Unlike most
states, there is no way to fight a state agency and the majority of
local governmental denials in Ohio without hiring a lawyer and
going to the time and expense of litigation.
Consider the 2012 case, Zidonis v. Columbus State, a wrongful discharge action. The Supreme Court gave governmental
agencies new latitude to claim records requests are overly
broad. Today the standard appears to be that overly broad is
whatever government says it is.
While we were told that the Zidonis case involved narrow
facts and wouldnt apply to many situations, it is popping up in
cases as arguments in favor of keeping records secret. That was
the same argument made in another noteworthy case in which
the Cincinnati school board did an end-run around the open
records law by using a post office box and a search firm to hide
the names of school superintendent applicants. And, guess
what? Lawyers for Kent State University cited the Cincinnati
case to keep names of candidates secret in KSUs recent presidential search.
Meanwhile, exceptions are ever-growing. Ten years ago, there
were far fewer in the law. Theyve now run out of single letters
to attach exceptions to Ohio Revised Code 149.43 the open
records law. Were at exception bb now. Hundreds of other
exceptions are peppered in the statutes. One of the most abused
exceptions is the trade secrets exemption. Meanwhile, legislators and courts have made it harder to get information about
tax-dependent organizations such as JobsOhio, charter schools
and privatized prisons.
Then there is Ohios actual definition of public records. Before a court will even consider if something is open, it must fit
the definition of an actual government record. It cant be an
open record if it isnt a public record. We need a broader definition that the courts will support.
Finally, consider the sheer volume of content that government
is creating, just like the rest of us. It takes time and expense to
review hundreds of documents. I agree with government groups
that this is a genuine issue. Were not unsympathetic, but maybe
if we had fewer exceptions and ambiguities, those searches
would go a lot faster.
So, lets be grateful for the progress that the audit showed
but keep our focus on fixing the big problems that remain so
Ohio citizens have the access to information they deserve.

Association and president of the Ohio Coalition for Open
Government.

Do something

By Kirk Dougal
This week we stumbled across the fun sort of item we love
to find from time to time. It was a copy of Isaac Asimovs
guest column for the New York Times following his visit to
the 1964 Worlds Fair in New York City.
Asimov - a professor of biochemistry at Boston University,
noted futurist, and author of such science fiction classics as
the Foundation and Robot series - was fascinated by what he
saw at the event. At the height of the Cold War, the theme
expressed hope with Peace Through Understanding, a line
of thinking that also ran through most of his writings.
However, what caught our eye is that Asimov offered several of his own visions of what someone in 2014, 50 years
after the New York Worlds Fair, would find at a current exposition.
Here is a partial list of what Asimov thought we would see
in 2014:
House windows would be self-dimming. This technology
is available today in not only building windows but also in
aircraft glass, boats, automobiles, and even in eye glasses
(Yes).
An underground house at the Fair in 1964 made Asimov
theorize entire neighborhoods, especially in suburbia, would
be underground for easily controlled temperatures and energy savings. The surface would be used for agricultural
means so food could be grown closer to urban markets (No).
Gadgets would be everywhere in 2014, saving people the
time of performing all sorts of mundane tasks. Coffee pots
would turn on with a timer and have a hot cup of joe ready in
the morning (Yes). Auto meals would do much the same
thing. A person could order their breakfast to be ready at a
certain time and it would heat itself (No). Complete meals
would be frozen and ready to be warmed in just a few minutes (Yes).
He predicted 3-D movies would be very popular (Yes).
Oddly, for a man who wrote about harmony between
mankind and robots in the future, Asimov predicted robots
would not be common or very good in 2014. He said at
best there might be an exhibit of a slow and clumsy robot
maid and perhaps a robot landscaper but the machines would
still not be fully functional yet (Yes).
Appliances would not have electric cords but instead be
powered by batteries (Yes). Unfortunately, he said the power
in those batteries would come from radioisotopes, a byproduct of all the fission power plants supplying more than half
of the U.S. energy demand (No).
Asimov said the world would have become much smaller
by 2014. Not in size, but in the amount of time it took to
travel from place to place as faster planes (Yes) and a much
more thorough road infrastructure (Yes) made it easier to get
from Point A to Point B. However, just as every other futurist
predicted, he believed flying cars would be available by now
as well (No). However, what made those flying cars possible
would be computer navigation that would leave the humans
inside as just riders and not drivers. Google is experimenting
with this technology and Nevada, Florida, and California
have passed laws making it legal for driverless cars to operate on the roadways. (A marginal Yes).
Communications will entail both sight and sound (Yes),
enable the studying of documents and books (Yes), and utilize geosynchronous satellites to make it possible to dial directly to any place on earth (Yes). The transmission of
communications and data would be possible on modulated
laser beams through plastic pipes (Yes).
We would have permanent colonies on the moon (sadly,
No, as we have not landed humans on the moon since 1972).
Unfortunately, Asimov predicted not everything in 2014
would be rosy. He also predicted:
Massive overpopulation as the world would now have
6.5 billion people (actually 7.2 billion, No) and the U.S. 350
million (actually 318 million, No). He saw the Boston to
Washington D.C. corridor as one massive city with 40 million residents (No). He predicted the overcrowding would
make humans begin colonizing undersea cities (No). He believed most developed countries would have adopted legislation to regulate the number of children by now to reduce
population (No).
Food shortages and starvation would be rampant until
scientists invented microorganism farms. A dinner out would
most likely include a mock-turkey sandwich or a pseudosteak (No).
Asimov saw America remaining on the cutting edge of
technology but the gap between the haves and have-nots
would widen with third world countries falling even further
behind in machinery, medicines, etc. (Yes)
Students would be taught the fundamentals of computers
as a routine part of classroom studies. Those students who do
not keep up with those studies or lived in areas where computer studies were not taught would be reduced to low-level,
menial jobs in the workplace - if they could find work at all
(a qualified Yes).
Perhaps most frightening, because of all the automation
that would be in place by 2014, Asimov foresaw mental disease spreading quickly through large parts of the population.
Without healthy, fulfilling work, these segments would suffer
through grave emotional and sociological consequences that
could lead to introverted and narcissistic tendencies, forcing
the need to be treated by the fastest growing medical profession: psychiatry. (Yes)
So why was this the time we found Asimovs predictions
so compelling? Because as we think of all the high school
and college graduates stepping out into the real world for the
first time, we know they will be receiving an overabundance
of advice about their futures. Here is our contribution:
Do something.
Do something that in 50 years, when your work life is
completed, you will be able to look back upon and say, I did
that.
Do something that your friends and neighbors will remember. Do something so people who never met you will be able
to reap benefits.
That something may be as important as finding a cure for
cancer or inventing the Internet. That something may be creating a piece of art or writing a book. That something may be
only important to your family and friends.
Fifty years ago, the Worlds Fair in New York envisioned a
pathway to the future. Scientists and inventors saw that pathway as a set of goals. Some of what Asimov predicted has
come true and some is still just science fiction. But the important thing is people pushed the limits of what already was
and strove for what could be.
The first step of that process is to decided you are going to
do something.

named among the University of Cincinnatis
Communications Department as an alumni
champion.
Barnes, who received her BA in 1983, is president of Maple Tree Lab Consulting in Chicago.
She is a 1979 alumna of Paulding High School.
Three reasons were given for naming these
champions. First, in anticipation of the departments 50th anniversary in Oct. 9-11. Next, it

builds value for the program by showing what

can be done with a BA or MA degree.
Finally, the champions are expected to be
looked to for advice and support for the department in an effort ...to move the Friends of
Communication from an umbrella concept to
a more formal advisory board and organization...
Barnes is the daughter of the Burl and Ellie
Barnes of Paulding.

science in nursing from the
University of Saint Francis;
bachelor of science in nursing
from Western Governors University; and is currently completing a masters of business
administration in healthcare
management.

VAN WERT American Pickers will

make their way to western Ohio and Indiana
and are looking to spend some time picking
in Van Wert County. The History Channels hit
television series American Pickers will be
in this area July 14-27 and is now actively
seeking locations to feature in Van Wert
County.
The documentary-style show follows professional pickers Mike Wolfe and Frank
Fritz on adventures that bring them to small
towns across the country in search of unique
Americana and fascinating people.
Were looking for people with barns, warehouses and out buildings full of odd, unique,
and interesting collections, said Anthony Rodriguez, casting associate producer with Cineflix USA. We also love to explore the history
of the locations tied to the items. Mike and
Frank are always looking for great characters
too the kinds of people within the nooks,
crannies and back roads of this big country.
Our favorite picks feature multiple buildings
crammed with lots of cool stuff. We love for
our guys to really work for what they find,
digging through piles and coming up with
treasure.
Mike and Frank area longtime pickers or
as they call themselves modern archaeologists. They drive the back roads of America
knocking on doors, digging through barns and
basements, and sifting through junkyards and
warehouses. The dirty, rusty treasures and antiques they pull out of these places are not just
given a new life; theyre saved for future generations to appreciate. Along the way the guys
meet the amazing people and interesting
places that make America great.
How exciting for the Van Wert community! Many of our county residents have treasure troves waiting to be discovered by Mike
and Frank, commented Van Wert Chamber
president/CEO Susan Munroe. The stories
and journeys attached to those treasures as
shared by their owners is often whats the best
part of the show.
American Pickers is not currently looking
for: farming / agriculture items, tools, glassware, appliances, tractors, crocks, stoves,
country primitives. The American Pickers do
not go to shops, antique malls, auctions or flea

A Penny For
Your Thoughts....
By: Nancy Whitaker

A FOODIE BUCKET LIST

I have always been a foodie.
I like to eat, read recipes, try
different ingredients and love
to cook. Cooking methods that
I use today are somewhat different than what my mama and
grandma used. Grandma
would tend to fry up good old
greasy ham, fried potatoes,
bacon and pork chops. One
special dish she cooked was
red kidney beans and cream
style corn mixed together. She
called it
kali-kamash. To some foodies
this combination may sound
strange, but actually it is quite
delicious. I know also that
when she made a salad, it was
usually head lettuce chopped
up with a homemade mayonnaise dressing on it. I grew up
believing that was the only
kind of salad dressing that existed.
It was after I was grown that
I began to experiment in the
kitchen. Of course, one new
food item in the 60s was pizza.
Remember the boxed pizza
you made yourself called ChefBoy-Ar-Dee? I havent made
one of those in years, but they
still have them on the shelves.

One pizza I now enjoy making

is a bacon and mashed potato
pizza. This may sound strange,
but it is really good. Would you
try it?
I also like food such as lobster, crab legs, shrimp cocktails, all types of fish and
seafood. I love Italian and Chinese food and experimenting
with different stir-frys and
sauces.
One thing I have never really
had the desire to cook or eat is
wild game. Not too long ago, a
friend of mine hit a raccoon
with his car. He stopped his car
and got out and another vehicle
pulled up behind him. The occupant in the other car said,
What are you going to do with
that coon?
My friend replied, I dont
know, but want to get it off the
road.
The guy said excitedly, Oh
my! Can we have it?
Of course, said my friend.
What are you going to do with
it?
The delighted driver of the
other car said, Hey we are
going to have coon for supper
tonight! Want to join us?
There is a lot of food I have

not tried, but I prefer not to eat

road kill.
There is actually a foodie
bucket list of 100 foods you
should try before you die. I am
not going to list all of them, but
it is fun to see how many you
have eaten. Read the list and
cross off those you have tried.
Here they are: abolone; alligator; bagel and lox; bird nest
soup; carp; caviar; fondue;
fried green tomatoes; smores;
snake; crickets; chocolate covered ants; dandelion greens;
black pudding made with
blood, Pon Hoss; snake; wild
hog; buffalo; mashed potato
pizza; liver; and last but not
least, raccoon.
I counted and I have only
tried six, however, to try some
of those foods is not a top priority on my food bucket list. I
would rather live dangerously
and eat ice cream, pizza, pie,
cake, lots of whipped cream
and homemade fudge. To eat
more of them would be on my
list.
How many food items have
you tried on this list? What is
on your food bucket list? Let
me know and Ill give you a
Penny for Your Thoughts.

FSA: Possible compensation to

2012 or who experienced livestock loss, especially in this
past hard winter, could be eligible for assistance through the

mock tornado disaster took place on Saturday at Latty.

Large turnout for LEPC

safety training exercise

By JIM LANGHAM
Feature Writer
LATTY In excess of 86
people turned out last Saturday for a full scale Local
Emergency Planning Commission (LEPC) exercise.
Following a briefing at the
operations Emergency Operations Center (EOC), the exercise split up into different
phases including the Mercer
Landmark (Latty facility),
Nazarene Church (blood draws)
and Paulding County Hospital
(to receive the injured).
The planned exercise began
when a (fictitious) call was
made from Mercer Landmark
that a strong tornado had hit the
facility and a number of anhydrous ammonia nurse tanks had
been ruptured. As a result, it appeared that there was a valve
leakage on a 30,000 gallon storage tank and numerous anhydrous ammonia cars had rolled
over. There were also a couple
of farmers hauling chemicals at
the site when the tornado hit and
there were a number of employees injured.
The 911 dispatch was responsible for paging Scott Fire Department which had jurisdiction
of the area. Mutual aid was requested from Payne and Grover
Hill fire departments. The
Emergency
Management
Agency (EMA) was already active in the situation because it
was tracking the storms as they
moved through the county.
Following the passage of the
tornado and front, winds had
switched to the east, gusting to
25 miles per hour, which carried

the vapor plume over the village

of Latty.
At that point of the exercise,
the Incident Command System
(ICS) was responsible to determine how personnel could
safely approach the scene and
remove the victims for transport
to the hospital. Also, the ICS
was to determine whether occupants of the homes in the area
should shelter in place or evacuate.
Instructions for the exercise
required that the EOC would
give support on weather decisions, evacuation decisions and
input on the product involved.
Any victims were transferred to
Paulding County Hospital with
the emergency room testing
their hazmat protocol and treatment of inhalation/burns victims.
Julie Rittenhouse, EMA director for Defiance County,
noted there were several objectives that were outlined for the
exercise. Those included the initial notification of response
agencies, incident command,
emergency operations center,
population protection actions,
traffic and access control, shelter management, EMS and hospital services.
We manage the resources
here (EOC) and the event is
simulated in Latty, said Rittenhouse on Saturday.
The EOC was located in a
conference room of the Paulding County Sheriff Department,
which was actively involved in
the exercise.
Paulding County Sheriff
Jason Landers said that while

there are always areas to improve, he was very pleased with

the turnout and diligence of
those who signed up to be involved in the training.
The interest and work involved in this was outstanding,
said Landers. This was a big
step in training our county people for such an incident. Im
sure we learned a lot in these
few hours.
This is a full scale emergency operation exercise, said
Richard Lauffer, facilitator for
the Ohio Emergency Management. This is large enough that
we felt the need to open an EOC
to coordinate this event from the
Paulding County Sheriffs Office.
The general assessment of
the exercise is that it was
done to learn mistakes that
were made so we will perform better when an actual incident occurs, said Paulding
County Commissioner Roy
Klopfenstein. Communication is always a challenge when
we have multiple sites and a lot
of things that we need.
Richard Lauffer took all of the
evaluation sheets with him, said
Klopfenstein, to compose and
mail back to county officials.
Those involved in planning
the exercise were Bob Herber,
Cecil Fire Department; Bill Edwards, health department and
chairman of the LEPC; Sheriff
Landers; Jamie Mansfield,
Payne Fire Chief; Ben Snyder,
Mercer Landmark safety chairman; Rittenhouse, Defiance
County EMA; and Commissioner Klopfenstein.

Signs of Asian longhorned beetles

By Mark Holtsberry
Education specialist
Paulding SWCD
Trees in Ohio are under attack by foreign invaders. The Asian longhorned beetle was accidentally introduced to the United States
from Asia in 1996 and has been wreaking
havoc on trees in Massachusetts, New York,
New Jersey, Illinois and now Ohio. The Asian
longhorned beetle was found in Clermont
County in June 2011. The beetle threatens
Ohios $2.5 billion in standing maple timber
and the $5 billion nursery industry, which employs 240,000.
In an effort to prevent the spread of this insect, numerous restrictions regarding the
transportation of branches, roots and stumps
have been implemented. These efforts have

successfully led to the eradication of the beetle

in Illinois and New Jersey. Citizens can assist
in these efforts by checking trees for the
spread of the Asian longhorned beetle by looking for the telltale signs of infestation.
The pest loves to munch on maple, ash,
birch and elm trees. It bores into the tissue that
conducts water and nutrients to the tree, causing it to starve.
Mature beetles emerge from trees in late
May through October and will leave behind
dime-size (a quarter of an inch or larger), perfectly round exit holes. There will also be shallow scars in bark where the eggs are laid.
Sawdust-like materials called frass, can be
seen on the ground and the branches. The
branches themselves may be dead or dying.
The final sign is spotting the beetle itself.

My new friend in wings

8A - Paulding County Progress Wednesday, June 25, 2014

Its been nearly two weeks

ago now that I became aware
of a brand new friend. He
may have actually been there
sooner, but he caught my eye
the day he greeted me with a
song and dance that was
graceful and beautiful as any
Ive ever seen in nature.
Ronnie Redwing, who
poses as a red-winged
blackbird, has quickly become the gatekeeper to the famous trail that I enjoy so
much when I walk in the
Limberlost Loblolly. Its a restored wetland just south of
Geneva, Ind., developed in
honor of famed naturalist
writer, Gene Stratton-Porter.
It is no secret to those who
know me that the Lob, as
we call it around the area, has
become my refuge, my restorer of every kind of health
and my prayer garden of
quietness, usually several
times a week.
It took two or three visits
with Ronnie perching on a
small dead bush at the opening of my trail before I realized that he was introducing
himself for friendship. Once I
realized, I called him out, Hi
Ronnie, and he responded
with jumping up and down,
flapping his wings and actually singing his own tune to
me.
Day after day, I would
come to the Lob. Some days
as I approached and parked in
the parking lot right across
from the trailhead, the tree
would be empty but as I
drove into the parking lot,
suddenly, he appeared and
was chirping and waiting for
me at the trailhead.
One day about a week ago,
I took Joyce with me. I had
told her about Ronnie, on
faith, that the journey would
continue. Sure enough, as we
approached, Ron had already
perched himself in the tree
and was waiting for us. She
sat in the parking lot and read
a book while I did the trail.
But its not just about arriving, he is also waiting for me

HOMESPUN

By
JIM LANGHAM

when I return.
Joyce was astounded.
When I came to the car, with
Ronnie chirping in the background, she said, Jim, he
watched you for a long ways
on the trail. Finally he flew
off and flew around. But
when he saw you return, he
came flying out of the woods
and made sure that he was
waiting for you on the bush
when you returned.
As we left, I smiled. Joyce
rolled down the window of
the car and said, Bye, Ronnie, indicating that he had
won her heart.
One day late last week,
storms were approaching the
Lob while I was on the trail. I
kept my eye on the dark
clouds rolling in and geared
my walk according. As I
reached the end of the trail,
the wind was kicking up and
I could see sheets of rain in
the distance.
I said, Ronnie, you had
better take shelter, theres a
storm coming.
Ironically, he stayed in the
bush and watched until I got

into the car. As the rain

started to pelt the car, I
looked back and he was gone.
The next day, I saw him
hurrying toward the tree as
my car approached. And there
he was; my tender heart nearly
melted as I realized that he had
been taken care of during the
vicious storm. As I approached,
he flapped his wings and
chirped.
I said, Ronnie, youre safe,
God took care of you, and he
just chirped and turned his
head and looked at me. Then,
in a moment of a total spiritual
epiphany, I sang an old hymn
to him about God hiding us in
His shelter during the storm.
Goose bumps overtook me and
tears literally fell down my
cheeks as he sang his own song
while I was singing with him.
Last Friday was the 16th day
in a row that Ronnie appeared
on site. I was driving into the
parking lot and the bush was
empty. Suddenly, a little
shadow dove over the car and
on the bush at the head of my
trail.
When I returned, a man was
sitting in a van in the parking
lot taking in the sounds and
solitude of the Lob. Sure
enough, Ron came flying to his
perch and started chirping,
flapping his wings and talking to me.
That bird acts like he
knows you, said the gentleman. I smiled and said, Oh he
does, thats my friend, Ronnie, as I got into the car and
said, Bye, Ronnie, and drove
away.

Commissioners Journal

Commissioners Journal June 11, 2014

This 11th 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 APPOINTMENTS
Joe Burkard, Claudia Fickel, Lou Ann Wannemacher,
Travis McGarvey, Cindy Peters Burkard reviewed the
recent revisions/modifications in the county employee
manual. The county commissioners adopted
CCAO/CORSAs manual by resolution on Dec. 20, 2012,
effective Jan. 1, 2013. The revisions made related to calculating vacation benefits for full-time employees, specifically those who have had previous full-time (with benefits)
employment with a political subdivision.
Fickel emphasized the importance of year-end employee
attendance reports. Because each office has the authority to
determine its own full-time hour requirements, it was suggested that each office indicate the number of hours that office considers full-time on the attendance reports. By so
documenting, it will make calculating and accruing the employees vacation time easier and more accurate.
Vacation time must still be accrued the first year of fulltime employment (regardless of prior work experience) before the employee has paid time off. It was also noted that
accumulated sick leave is only paid out upon an employees
retirement.
Sheriff Jason Landers presented the sheriffs status/projection reports for the commissioners review. He noted the
inmate transport vehicle has been ordered. Sheriff Landers
also reported one of his deputies will be able to equip the
new EMA vehicle with the proper lights, radio, etc. He then
reminded the commissioners his office will begin union negotiations in October.
Jerry Zielke, Paulding County Economic Development,
was excited to announce the future expansion at the Herbert
E. Orr Company Inc. in Paulding. He. reported they plan to
file an EZ (enterprise zone) agreement and will apply for tax
abatement.
Herbert E. Orr Company plans to construct a 10,000square-foot building at an estimated cost of $680,000. The
expansion projects total cost is estimated to be $1 million
(building and additional equipment).
Zielke noted they will be working with the economic development regional office for possible funding options.
Through the expansion, the company hopes to create five
new positions. Herbert E. Orr Company Inc. manufactures
auto parts for a variety of models.
Zielke further noted he is hopeful the recent improvements to the Cecil sewer system will make the US 127/US
24 interchange more marketable for new business activity.
Niki Warncke, Maumee Valley Planning Organization
(MVPO); Janet Stroup, Mayor of Melrose; Ron Hunter,
Mayor of Broughton Warncke chaired the Second Public
Hearing for the FY 2014 CDBG Community Development
Program. She presented those present with a report that included the seven projects as applied for by various entities.
Paulding County was allocated $75,000 for the FY 2014
CDBG Community Development Allocation Program.
MVPO retains $15,000 for administration and fair housing.
The remaining $60,000 may be awarded to up to three projects from the applications submitted.
After review of the submitted projects, the commissioners
elected to award to the Villages of Melrose and Broughton
and to Auglaize Township all three entities requesting new
tornado sirens. Warncke will work closely with the villages
and township during the bid process. The FY 2014 awarded
grant projects have a Dec. 31, 2015 completion date.
Warncke then focused on the FY 2014 CDBG Community Development Competitive Critical Infrastructure Program. This grant is based on citizen input and assessment of
need by local officials. Paulding County may apply for up to
$300,000. She reported the Village of Antwerp has submitted

a request for $145,000 for improvements to their village

water facility. MVPO will include their administrative allotment and request a total of $165,000. Warncke emphasized
the Critical Infrastructure Program grant is competitive on a
statewide basis.
Tori Sinclair, CEBCO wellness coordinator; Kim Oliver,
Huntington Insurance Inc. Oliver reviewed Huntington Insurances wellness services available. She also supplied several reports generated from the medical information
employees entered on Formfire, being Medical Condition
Rating Summary, Rx Summary, Employee BMI Comparison.

PHS grad faces long road to recovery

Wednesday, June 25, 2014 Paulding County Progress - 9A

EDITORS NOTE: Sue and

Bob Brown of Oakwood
shared with us the following
story about their son, Derric
Brown, a Paulding High
School graduate, who is currently recovering from a
stroke.
On April 12, we got the
devastating news our son,
Derric, was being taken to
Riverside Hospital via an
EMS. He had suffered a
stroke at his sons baseball
game. On Sunday, he was
very talkative, but it was evident he had aphasia. On Monday, his church family called
together a prayer service to be
held at 7:30 that night; later,
the priest told me had never
seen this done and for 75 people to show up was amazing.
What was truly amazing,
divine intervention I would
say, is that late Monday afternoon Derric went into a coma
and his brain began to swell.
So at the time his church family was praying, he was being
wheeled into surgery for an

emergency craniotomy. We
were told without the surgery
he had maybe six hours to
live. The next few days are a
blur that I dont want to remember. We spent 10 days at
Riverside with NO idea what
the future held.
On April 21, he was moved
to the Ohio Rehab facility,
where for the first time, we
were given hope. Derric does
have aphasia, meaning the
words do not come, and he is
right side weak. He virtually
has no use of his right arm,
but is able to walk a short distance with a quad cane. We
are cautiously optimistic that
he regain use of his right side
and his speech will return. We
are blessed that he understands us and has not lost his
incredible sense of humor.
During our weeks at rehab,
when he was napping, I
would try to catch up on reading the newspapers. Several
times I noticed him looking at
the paper and I would ask if
he wanted to see it, and he

would say no. Then it dawned

on me he was looking for
the Progress! So I asked him,
and yes, that is what he
wanted. I always saved them
and he would read them when
he came home.
So he was looking at the
Progress when Darsi FaceTimed him and she jokingly
said we should send his picture in reading it.
There is a carepage online
for Derric that at last count
had 784 signed up and many
of them are from Paulding
County, if not now, but originally. So I thought I would
send you this short synopsis
and perhaps you would want
to print it.
We brought Derric back to
his home in Marysville on
May 31, finding his street
lined with over 100 people.
The Marysville Journal Tribune did an article on him.
Derric was within weeks of
buying the funeral home that
he has worked at for 18 years,
so he has touched many peo-

noticed a man and boy walk by.

After the man passed Derric,
he promptly turned to the boy
and said, That guy there (gesturing towards Derric)hes a
good guy. I inferred that Derric had no doubt consoled this
anonymous man at a time of
grief, and Derrics kindness
would never be forgotten.
On Saturday, May 31 at 1:45
p.m., Derric Brown came
home to Bay Laurel Drive in
Marysville filled with family
and friends celebrating his
homecoming. On April 12,
seven weeks prior, Derric suffered a massive stroke at his
sons 12U Mitts baseball game.
His son, Noah, had just hit a
game-saving triple allowing
play to continue as the team
was in danger of being runruled. Had Noah not hit that
double, Derric would have
been driving home alone at the
time of his stroke. His wife
credits Noah, and in part the
game of baseball, for saving
her husbands life.
Derric Brown loves his wife,
loves his children, family and
friends. That was evidenced the

last weekend of May as Derric

made his way down the sidewalk greeting, hugging, and
kissing so many who have followed his amazing journey,
prayed and cheered on his successes.
Annie Savoy would tell you
sometimes you make a bad
trade but bad trades are a part
of baseball. The stroke on
April 12 was a bad trade, but
Derric is strong and I believe his
wife may be even stronger and
this bad trade is but a detour
that has already brought about
great things.
Derric was led to his career,
led to his family and now led to
inspire and motivate so many as
he has come back so valiantly
from a life-changing event.
Its a long season and you
gotta trust it. Ive tried em all.
I really have, and the only
church that truly feeds the soul,
day in, day out, is the church of
Baseball.

Durham.

Derric Browns homecoming

By Corinne Bix
Special to the Progress
MARYSVILLE Some
would say any sporting event is
a metaphor for life. You win
some, you lose some and you
learn to rely on your teammates
because as the old adage goes,
there is no I in team.
Growing up my father
would talk about the Church
of Baseball, a reference from
the 1988 movie Bull
Durham. Annie Savoy
(played by Susan Sarandon)
said she had tried all the major
religions, worshipped Buddha, Allah, Brahman, Vishnu,
Siva, trees, mushrooms, and
Isadora Duncan. However, it
is baseball that truly feeds the
soul, day in and day out.
While Church is a lofty term
for anything other than a true
House of God, perhaps Annie
was on to something. If we
look at life as our Church, and
find God anywhere and anytime, we wont be limited to
communing with God just on
Sundays.
I find it interesting that I connect Derric Brown and his
family with the game of baseball as it has been through
baseball that I have learned so
much about Derric, his family,
and their journey back from a
life altering event.
About a year ago I had the
opportunity to chat with Derric
Brown as we watched our
daughters play softball. Derric
is a funeral director at Mannasmith Funeral Home and while
I have known Derric, Dee and
their two children, Noah and
Leah since 2007, I had always
been curious about why anyone would choose mortuary
science as their career path.
Derric said it was simple... I
was led. Led to do something
that makes so many others
cringe, led to do something that
is a part of life that cant be
skipped. People dont ask obstetricians why they like delivering babies, but the idea of
willingly consoling griefstricken families who have lost
loved ones, not to mention
preparing corpses for viewings
and burial. Well, that is something most people would do
anything to avoid.
At another ball game, this
time for Noah and my son, I

THE PAULDING COUNTY PROGRESS GOES ON THE ROAD TO RECOVERY The Paulding
Progress went to the Ohio Health Rehab in Columbus with Derric Brown and he would like to
thank everyone in his hometown for their continued prayers as he recovers from a massive stroke.
ple in that capacity, as well as
being very involved with Kiwanis, Knights of Columbus,
Hospice, and other organizations as well as sports. But he
has lots of friends and family
here, too.
The Marysville Kiwanis
had a benefit for him Saturday, June 14. They stood,
along with Noahs baseball
team and friends, for six
hours at the main street inter-

sections in Marysville and

collected money. We are so
humbled by the outpouring of
love and support and will forever be paying it forward. He
saw the surgeon last Friday,
who was amazed at how far
he has come. Derric is scheduled for surgery Wednesday,
June 25, to replace the piece
of skull removed.
We have been amazed at
the generosity shown him. In

reality, the future is very

scary now since he was the
principle bread winner. We
just take it one day at a time
and pray God has another
great plan for Derric.
Cards and well wishes may
be sent to Derric Brown at
1170 Bay Laurel, Marysville

has been set up at Fifth Third
Bank in Derrics where donations can be directed.

Jeffery family heritage strengthened through the years

By NANCY WHITAKER
Progress Staff Writer
Part 2 of 2
In part one of this story we
learned about the Jeffery familys
adventures in Ohio and information
about the Underground Railroad.
James Jeffery married four times.
His last wife was Marietta Barnes
and that is where the Paulding
County connection comes about.
James Jeffery spent the last four
years of his life in Paulding County
and is buried at Live ak Cemetery.
Owen Jeffery, one of James sons,
came to Paulding County when he
was 21. Owen married Myrtle
Baker Jeffery and they had 10 children, eight boys and two girls. The
family of 10 included Ray, Merle,
Gale, Frank, Del, Dorris, Zella,
Owen James, Lenna and Leo. Five
of the sons remained in farming.
Ray Jeffery was only 7 when his
mother passed away.

He said, She used to make all of

our clothes, including shirts, pants
and everything. He noted, I was
never so glad in my life to get a pair
of store-bought pants to wear.
In her obituary it says: She was
an exceptionally fine woman, devoted to her home and family always striving for their welfare,
inspiring them in school work, industrious lives and in the better
things of life. Her love and motherly
care will be greatly missed from the
family circle. Her hands were always open, her heart ready to assist
neighbors and friends. The community in her death has lost a noble
woman.
He then married Onata Birkholder, who Ray said was a good
mother to him. The family resided
on a farm east of Paulding currently
owned by the Paulding School.
With eight sons around, the Jefferys liked to play baseball and

Sports

Owen was often seen pitching a ball

to his sons. One game that was
played was against another big family by the name of Outland. The
game was going to pit one family
against the other to see who was
best at baseball.
The day of the game came and
Ray said, Well I think the Outlands
got some other players that werent
family members. Well, anyways it
rained and we didnt play that long,
but we won.
The Jefferys attended Paulding
School and walked about 3/4 of a
mile.
One daughter became a teacher and
another daughter worked as a social
worker for the YMCA. She was a
graduate of Defiance College and got
her masters degree from Columbia,
in New York City. Frank became a
teacher and principal of an elementary
school while also holding a position
with the Defiance College.

Many Jefferys were active in community events and the local political
arena. Del was a state representative,
some of them served on various
boards such as township trustees and
on the school boards. Owen himself
was a county commissioner for 18
years.
The Jeffery children had such deep
respect and love for their parents they
requested that their sons be pall bearers at their funerals.
Ray Jeffery is currently in his 90s,
lives in Antwerp, and is the last surviving child of Owen Jeffery. Ray is

sharp, witty and knows many stories

about life in his era. Ray married
Dorothy Smith whose father owned a
car dealership in Antwerp. It was reported that it was the oldest Buick
dealership in the world. Ray and
Dorothy had four children.
Ray also has a deep resonant voice
and he recalls singing the Life Buoy
commercial to his children. He sang it
to me and it goes:
Singin in the bath tub, Singin for
Joy, Livin the life of Lifebuoy, Cant
help singin cause we know Lifebuoy
really stops B.O.

Paulding Jr. ACME

Pauldings Gonzales no-hits Lancers lose two in tournament

ACME Baseball

By Nick Johnson
DHI Media Correspondent
PAULDING Rising senior Treston Gonzales
was on his game early as Pauldings ACME squad
hosted Lincolnview last Thursday night. Gonzales
overpowered the Lancers, striking out the side in
order in the opening inning, and held Lincolnview
without a hit as the Panthers claimed a 3-0 win.
Gonzales fanned 13 in the no-hitter. He walked
five.
Treston has been a workhorse since he was a
freshman, said Panther coach Matt Arellano. He
has a great fastball and has good command most
days. He works really hard on the mound. Keeping him focused sometimes is hard, but he is a
very good pitcher and he is very talented pitcher.
Gonzales talent was on display throughout the
evening. He recorded at least two punch outs in
each of the games first four innings, reaching
double digits before the fifth.
Lincolnview southpaw Jalen Roberts was able
to match Gonzales through the front four frames,
but the Panthers finally broke through with a two
out single in the bottom half of the fifth for the
games first hit.
Im proud of Jalens performance, said
Lancer coach Dana Roberts. We have not seen
the field in a week and weather didnt help us out
(Wednesday). Im tipping my hat to Paulding and

(its) pitcher, tonight. We just couldnt get the

timely hits when we needed to.
Paulding took advantage of some spotty Lincolnview defense, staking its pitcher to an early
2-run advantage in the home half of the first. Gonzales and Alex Arellano each scored a run thanks
to Lincolnview errors.
The Panthers tacked on a run in the sixth, extending to a 3-0 lead. Once again, sloppy defense
aided in the rally. Arellano reached base via a
Lancer miscue and Jarrett Sitton cashed hm in
with a run scoring double to deep center field.
Roberts held the Panthers to one run in the inning,
getting a comebacker and a strikeout to escape
further damage.
Errors really cost us, conceded the elder
Roberts after the game.
With the no-hitter intact, Gonzales faced Tyler
Richey to begin the seventh. Richey scorched a
liner back to the mound that Gonzales gloved for
the first out. He struck out the next two batters,
but needed to get one extra hitter thanks to a wild
pitch on the third strike to Nick Motycka, who
beat a throw to first, extending the game. Motycka
eventually wound up at third, but was stranded
there as Gonzales induced a ground out to complete the gem.
Paulding moves to 8-4 on the ACME season
while Lincolnview falls even at 2-2 this summer.

The Paulding junior varsity ACME baseball team participated

in the opening sectional round of the state tournament this weekend. The double elimination tourney had the Panthers traveling to
Hicksville where the host Aces defeated Paulding 10-3 in game.
In the second match up the Aces managed three runs in the bottom
of the fourth to outlast the Panthers 3-2.
Both Hicksville and Paulding each had only one win entering
tournament action with the Aces at 1-7 and Paulding 1-5.
Game 1:
Hicksville 5 Paulding 3
In the first game Hicksville picked up a quick run in the opening
frame to take a 1-0 lead. Paulding answered with three runs of
their own in the top half of the second to take a 3-1 lead. Unfortunately for the Panthers, the home team Aces tacked on four runs
in their half of the second to hold a 5-3 advantage. Hicksville went
on to add a run in the fourth and fifth innings and three more in
the sixth.
The winning pitcher for the Aces was Blake Stairhime. He went
the distance, allowing just four hits while striking out five.
Alex Estrada was on the mound through five innings for Paulding and gave up eight runs while allowing eight walks and three
hits. Estrada totaled nine strike outs in the loss. Blake Dobbelaere
pitched one inning in relief and allowed two runs on two hits while
walking two.
At the plate, Ryan Nicelley led the Panthers with a single and
double with teammate Adrian Daniel adding an RBI single. The
other Panther hit was delivered by Blake Dobbelaere.
Leading hitters for Hicksville included Brady Hootman with
two singles and Dante Klender also with a couple of singles. Each
player also contributed an RBI.
Game 2:
Hicksville 3 Paulding 2
After three scoreless innings, the Paulding Panthers finally
Jerika Bland, Emily Farr, herd, Dayton Pracht, Jacob RoKandee Manson, Abby Pease, driguez, Kaleb Hernandez and crossed home plate with two runs in the top half of the fourth inning. The two runs placed Paulding in the drivers seat with a 2Alyssa Shelmadine, Alesha Preston Ingol.

Hot fun in the summertime garden

Wednesday, June 25, 2014 Paulding County Progress - 13A

Summer really just began

four days ago, when the sun
reached its most northern position for those of us in the
Northern Hemisphere. But it
got really hot at least a week
before that and the craziness
that passes for weather these
days continues.
When it gets like this, when
Im wishing it would rain so
that I dont have to haul the
hoses all around the yard to
rescue the plants that are
parched by the sun and the
hot winds, I start looking at
my garden a little differently
than I did in the freezing cold
days of winter.
Somehow, back in January
as I looked out at the snow,
being so far removed from
the heat and humidity of summer, I forgot that I had said
just a few months before, that
I was going to start gardening
smarter. I had vowed to extricate any plant that needed
coddling, especially in the
way of watering. Dont you
remember me saying that last
year? (In case you dont, it
was Sept. 18, to be exact.)
The harsh winter took care
of some of the plants that
were fussy, but the Ligularia
is still there, still pouting over
the lack of moisture. I shouldnt have planted it in the first
place, but you know how that
is when youre at the garden
center. Something pretty
catches your eye and you
think it wont be that much
work, right?
I bought it anyway, and
every year Ive had it, the
thing looks like its lacking
something. You know, like
water. I have a hard time taking something out of the garden if its still alive, but two
wrongs dont make a right, so
this time its coming out. Im
saying it out loud so that you

Garden

like even better, Autumn

Fire, but theyre just as easy
to grow after theyre planted.
By the way, have you been
cutting your tall sedums back
so they dont flop later in the
year when they bloom? Do
for them just like you do your
mums, pinching by one-third,
stopping by July 4 so that
they have time to set flowers
for fall.
Daylilies. You either love
em or hate em. But really,
its hard to hate a plant that
you merely have to dig a
hole, any hole, anywhere,

stuff it in, tuck the soil back

in around it, give it a squirt of
water, and then watch it go to
town.
Some are better than others, for sure, when it comes to
yellowing foliage late in the
season,
after
theyve
bloomed, but you know what
to do, right? Cut them off,
then see how fast and how
pretty and green it grows
back. Want to know which
one knocks my socks off?
Primal Scream. Perfect
name for not-just-another-orange daylily. Trust me on this

one and get it.

Natives. Im going to lump
several all together, and you
know these are all going to do
well, because they were born
here. Theyve seen their fair
share of droughts, floods, and
frigid winters, and theyve
adapted, much better than we
have. For an easy summerblooming garden, plant coneflowers, tickseed, blanket
flowers, and black-eyed Susans. And dont forget the
milkweed the monarchs
will thank you for that.
Now, does anyone want a

Ligularia? Ive got one you

can have.

will hold me to it. I promise

Ill dig it up after it blooms
one last time. No use wasting
blooms.
That will leave space in the
garden for something else and
it has to be a drought tolerant
plant. Im sure you have your
favorites that take a beating
from the dry heat, and Id
love to know what they are.
(Email me!). Here are some
of mine:
Sedums. A long, long time
ago, I did a smart thing without even knowing it and
planted a bunch of creeping
sedums on the west side of
our house. The soil was awful
and I didnt know back then
that you could swap out existing soil with new good stuff,
so I asked at the garden center
what would survive hot sun,
drying winds, and a neglectful gardener? They told me
sedums, and boy, were they
right.
I dont have to do a thing.
They just grow and spread
and look dandy, all on their
own. Why, some of them you
dont even have to plant. Ive
taken a fistful of Sedum acre
from one place in the garden
and thrown it down in another
and it takes root and grows.
Its almost like magic.
Kylee Baumle/Paulding County Progress
You cant really do that
Ligularia dentata Osiris Cafe Noir has mysterious bronze-green foliage and deep gold daisy-type blooms in midsummer. Its
with the taller sedums like
Autumn Joy or the one I perfect for that shady wet spot in the garden.
