New overpasses considered on US 24

By JOE SHOUSE
Progress Staff Writer
PAULDING Since the opening of
U.S. 24, controversy has been at the forefront concerning the safety of the multilane highway that links Fort Wayne with
Toledo. With seven at-grade intersections associated with U.S. 24 in Paulding
County, several deaths and many injuries
have occurred in the county, causing
safety concerns.
There have been several discussion
meetings, public meetings and outcries
for changes in the highway construction,
especially at the at-grade intersections. On
Monday evening, the Paulding County
engineers office held a preliminary
meeting with local EMTs, firefighters and
village and township leaders, along with
school leaders, to share information about
possible changes in the intersections and
to seek input on how to improve U.S. 24.
County Engineer Travis McGarvey
and superintendent Timm Aaron wel-

comed 21 individuals who listened to

what the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) is considering in the future
for U.S. 24.
ODOT wants U.S. 24 to be a limited
access road. They want to eventually do
away with all the at-grade intersections
and replace them with two overpasses,
McGarvey said.
After sharing the ODOT plans, McGarvey proceeded to lead the audience in a
discussion regarding where the proposed
overpasses should be located. He is seeking input on the best locations to cross
U.S. 24 in the opinion of fire and EMT
personnel, and how the changes may effect school transportation and transporting
farm machinery and equipment.
McGarvey reminded everyone that
ODOT has stated and continues to hold
firm on the idea that no new interchanges
would be constructed and only two overpasses are being considered.
Simply put, its a cost factor when

you consider new interchanges and its

not going to happen. What we want to
do is to get feedback, put a plan together,
and pass it on to ODOT. We want them
to know where we feel the best location is
for the overpasses and why, McGarvey
said.
Several people spoke on where they felt
the overpasses should or should not be.
For clarity purposes, the U.S. 24 corridor was divided into two sections: the
west portion from the Indiana-Ohio state
line to U.S. 127 and the east section from
U.S. 127 to the Defiance County line.
The question we need to answer is
what roads must remain open in order to
access the northern portion of the county,
said Timm.
It was the general consensus that along
the west portion, the intersection at Township Road 83 and County Road 87 be
considered as one of the new overpasses.
When considering the two options, it was
pointed out that TR 83 needed improve-

BROUGHTON A Paulding County man was found
dead last week after an apparent agricultural accident.
Emergency personnel responded to a report received
at 8:26 p.m. Wednesday, Aug.
5 of a person lying in a field
west of the intersection of
Roads 137 and 118 in Section 22 of Jackson Township,
northeast of Broughton.
Deputies arrived and found
Richard L. Ross, age 75, deceased.
The initial investigation
indicated Ross fell from his
open-cab tractor and was
struck by the attachment he
was pulling.
My thoughts are with the
Ross family at this time, said
Sheriff Jason Landers. It is
believed Mr. Ross might have
experienced a health issue that
caused his fall, as there is no
evidence of rough terrain or
wrongdoing on his part.
County Coroner Joseph
Kuhn was on scene, along
with Paulding EMS and Fire
Department.
The investigation continues.

ment while CR 87 was closer to U.S. 127.

Concerning the portion east of U.S. 127
to the Defiance County line, the two intersections that were most mentioned as
possibilities were County Road 133 and
County Road 143.
The east portion is a long area to the
county line and there are no overpasses
past U.S. 127. In order for the EMTs and
the firefighters to do their job, I believe
two overpasses need to be considered in
the area for proper access to the north,
said Paulding EMT and firefighter David
Foltz.
After the meeting, McGarvey expressed his satisfaction with the interest
from those in attendance and their input.
This isnt something that is going to
happen overnight. It may take five to 10
years before we see this project completed. ODOT doesnt have a timetable,
but we want to do our part and pass this
information and ideas on to ODOT by the
end of the month, said McGarvey.

Annual auction to raise funds for YFC

By JIM LANGHAM
Feature Writer
PAULDING The largest Defiance Area Youth For
Christ (YFC) fundraiser of the year will be held this Saturday, Aug. 15 in the Extension Building at the Paulding County Fairgrounds.
It will be the 26th annual benefit auction and will kick
off income for the new school year.
Youth For Christs Doug Roop said that the event
collects between $40,000 and $50,000 a year for the
local YFC organization, which includes Paulding, Putnam, Defiance, Fulton and Williams counties.

Once again, the auction will be spearheaded by Maurice Wannemacher, whose presence has led the event
for the past 25 years.
It is our largest fund-raiser of the year, said Roop.
It is a wonderful opportunity to contact and visit with
our supporters and local businesses that stand behind the
work of Youth For Christ.
Roop noted that the new YFC theme is Give Life to
Your Story. This year, said Roop, those involved with
the auction are seeking to hear the faith stories behind
their commitment to area young people.
As we go out and talk to people, we ask them to

share their stories, said Roop. Weve been encouraged by the stories of faith we hear from our donors.
Its kind of like at camp, continued Roop. Young
people will tell you a whole different story there than
you get from them at school. Those committed to Youth
For Christ are more apt to tell their faith stories on a oneon-one basis.
Roop said its amazing the sacrifice that area businesses will make in order to support the auction. He
noted that Vision Chrysler of Defiance is donating a van

New cross
finds a home

By NANCY WHITAKER
Feature Writer
PAULDING Paulding
County will be fortunate to have
not one cross sign, but two.
Members of the Get Right
With God Cross Committee
have obtained a new home on
which to build a new cross.
The new cross, which is being designed by Fred Mereritt,
is going to be placed on US 127
on the east side of the road close
to Road 176 (Cement Plant
Road) north of Paulding. Kenny
and Dee Simpson are donating
the land for the cross.
The way everything worked
out was just like God had
planned it, said Jack Fetter,
who is working on the project.
I felt that this place would be
great for the new cross, so I
stopped and talked to Kenny
Simpson. Kenny said that he
and his wife had just talked
about the old cross and after
speaking to his wife, the decision was made that the land
could be used for the new
cross.
The new cross will be the
same size as the old sign and

will have the same words on

both sides.
Tentative plans are to put the
new cross on a hill of dirt and
stones which will be visible to
everyone traveling north on
US 127. Kauser Trucking has
offered to donate the soil and
ornamental stones for the new
sign.
The committee members are
currently deciding what materials to use for the cross and they
hope to have it in place by this
fall.
Tax exempt donations are
being accepted and people can
become a Letter Investor.
There are 15 letters on each side
of the cross. People wishing to
participate are asked to prayerfully consider a donation of $15
or $30 or whatever they are led
to give.
Fetter noted, I was over
to the Payne VanCrest giving
blood and I was visiting with
a lady about the new cross. A
man who was giving blood
heard us talking and came up
and handed me some money
and said, Here, Jack, use this
for the new cross.

The members of the Get Right With God Cross Committee are, from left Fred Mereritt, Tony Gonzales III, Jack Fetter, Tony
Gonzales Jr. and Kenny Simpson.
It is hoped that many people
will see the new cross, never
forget the old one and that both
crosses will have a home in
Paulding County.
The new cross will not replace the old cross sign, which
will remain on old US 24 ap-

proximately one-quarter mile

from the Vagabond Truck Stop.
It was placed there in 1966 by
Harrison Mayes, a man known
for putting up crosses with sayings on them in approximately
44 different states.
Just a few of his signs remain

at this time. The old cross is in

need of repair, but is still standing proudly after the decision
was made not to donate it to a
sign museum.
The old cross will be 50 years
old in 2016 and the committee
is hoping to have a dedication of

the new one and a celebration of

the old one.
Anyone who would like to
donate to the new cross by being
a Letter Investor, may do so by
sending donations to: Get Right
with God Cross,20702 CR 148,

toward the auction. Agora on Waldos Hill Coffee Shop of Antwerp will be present at the auction
and donate all of the days proceeds to YFC.
In addition, other foods such as rib eye sandwiches, sausage, bratwurst and hot dogs will be
available for the day.
One of the biggest plusses of the extension
building is that it is air conditioned, said Roop.
That is an important thing to a lot of the people.
Roop said that one of the most popular items
is Ohio State Buckeye football tickets. This year,
there are six home OSU football tickets (four tickets a game) for such games as Hawaii, Northern
Illinois, Western Michigan, Maryland, Minnesota
and Michigan State.
Entertainment and vacation auction items include a Hocking Hills weekend getaway, Kala-

In addition, there are other automobile items,
collectibles, house and garden items, electronics,
sports items, toys, food items and gift certificates.
The bake sale begins at 9 a.m. followed by the
auction at 9:30 a.m.
Roop said the mission statement notes that
Youth For Christ reaches young people everywhere, working together with local churches and
other likeminded partners to raise up lifelong
followers of Jesus who lead by their godliness in
lifestyle, devotion to the Word of God and prayer,
passion for sharing the love of Christ and commitment to social involvement.

Saturdays 10th annual Broughton Redneck Jamboree began with a ceremony honoring military
veterans and service men and women currently serving our nation.

PCH board supports bill

enabling nurse practitioners
PAULDING The Paulding County Hospital Board of Trustees met on Aug. 6 when
they adopted a resolution in support of Ohio
House Bill 216.
That bill is co-sponsored by State Representative Tony Burkley. Its purpose is to
ensure the public has an adequate number
of healthcare providers in anticipation of a
growing physician shortage.
Multiple factors have led to a looming
shortage of physicians. The affordable care
act and an aging population have created
greater demand for physicians. At the same
time many physicians are reaching retirement
age and leaving their practices as well as becoming consumers of healthcare as they age.
It is estimated that in just 10 years there
will be a shortage of 90,000 physicians in the
United States.

The bill will remove various barriers to

enable nurse practitioners to practice at their
full capability helping to address the physician shortage. Current rules require that a
practice agreement exist between a physician
and nurse practitioner. It is becoming increasingly difficult to obtain those agreements.
Twenty-one states and the District of Columbia already allow nurses to practice autonomously without such an agreement.
Current rules also require that the nurse
practitioner prescribe only medications listed
on a drug formulary. The bill will eliminate
both the required practice agreement and the
formulary. Forty-five other states have already
removed the requirements for a formulary.
This will enable the nurse practitioner to
practice and prescribe to the limits of their
licensure.

MEETING NOTES OF APPOINTMENTS
County Auditor Claudia Fickel met

and heavy rains over the weekend.
He noted power lines were broken on
County Road 89 and a semi truck was
blown on to its side. Bohn said certain
areas had 5 inches of rain in a two-day
period of time. He estimates damages
to be $37,517.12, which will be submitted to the State EMA for consideration of reimbursement.
Bohn applauded Jay Dangler for his
assistance in accumulating townships
data. Bohn continues to work on the
mitigation plan. He noted he is 3/4 of
the way through. With the state interns
assistance, Bohn hopes to have the application completed by this week and
ready for a professional to write.

sandbags. He can get 10,000 bags for
$2,500-$2,900. He also noted, in lieu
of the heavy rainfall this summer, he
will be working with the Engineers
Office on a sandbag policy.

and training for volunteers to assist
with housing due to the absence of Red
Cross in Paulding County.

Area Foundation. 78 adults and 12
youth over the age of 5 attended the
seminar on June 26 hosted by the OSU
Extension.
Schweinsberg talked about the success of the Real Money Real World
program in Putnam and Defiance counties. This program is designed as an

youth the opportunity to make lifestyle
and budget choices similar to those that
adults have to make.

For this week Im going to

write a daily diary for Aug. 5.
3:15 a.m. Time to get up and
pack my husband Joes lunch.
For his lunch he wants bread
slices, sliced tomatoes fresh
from the garden, and mayonnaise. I also put frozen peaches, some cheese crackers, and
a piece of rhubarb pie in his
lunch. I fill his water jug with
ice and water and make him a
mug of coffee to take along.
3:40 a.m. Joes ride is here.
I go back to bed and set the
alarm for 5 a.m.
5 a.m. Daughter Elizabeth,
21, is ready for work.
5:15 a.m. Elizabeths ride is
here. I wake up Benjamin, 16,
to get ready for work. He is
doing something different this
morning. He will bike the 18
miles to work. He has wanted
to do this for a long time already. Benjamin loves biking
and after a long, hard days
work, he still likes to bike four
to eight miles at night. I pack
ham and cheese sandwiches
for Benjamins lunch. He never wants more than a few ham
and cheese sandwiches every
day. I would get tired of the
same thing over and over, but
he says he likes it.
5:45 a.m. After checking his
lights and tires Benjamin heads
out for his long ride to work.
They start work at 7 a.m. and he
thinks he will make it in time.
Verena, 17, and Lovina, 11, get
up to get ready for their ride.
They will work at the flea market today for a friend. They are
both getting great at waiting on
customers and sharpening their
math skills.
6:45 a.m. Verena and Lovina
leave. Susan, 19, is making the
rest of us scrambled eggs and
toast for breakfast. She doesnt
have a job at present but Im
sure glad for her help with all
the work getting ready for Elizabeths wedding. Joseph, 13,
is out milking Bessie the cow.
Kevin, 9, makes sure his little
kitten gets some of Bessies
warm milk for breakfast. Loretta, 15, helps Susan and I mend a
few shirts.
8 a.m. My sister Verena walks
over to help us today. My sister
Susan is working so Verena decided to come help us.
9:30 a.m. My sister Emma
and children come to help today
too.
1 p.m. A lot of cleaning is in
process: the walls and ceilings
are being washed off in the
kitchen and dining room area;
windows are being cleaned,
and some cabinets have been
washed out.
I finally have lunch ready for
everyone. Our lunch consists of
one kettle soup in which I used
some of the noodles we made
last week. They taste very good.
Also sliced tomatoes, cheese
bread, and hot peppers. Verena brought Swiss roll bars and
Emma brought brownies for
dessert.
2 p.m. They continue with
the cleaning. The noodles we
made last week, which are still

Lovinas sister brought a beautiful homemade orange cream

cheese cake to enjoy for lunch as the family worked diligently on
wedding preparations.

on tables drying, are ready to be

put into containers. My sisters
weighed them and we have well
over 30 pounds of noodles so
we will have more than enough
for the wedding next week.
3 p.m. My sister Susan came
here from work and pitches in
to help. Daughter Elizabeth and
Joe are home from their jobs.
Emma and her daughter Emma
pick two five-gallon buckets
full of tomatoes in my garden.
Looks like Ill have to be canning tomatoes soon. I hope it
can wait until after the wedding.
We will use some of the tomatoes in the salads for the wedding.
3:30 p.m. Benjamin is home
from work. He caught a ride
home so he didnt have to bike
home. He said this morning it
took him one hour and 15 minutes to bike the 18-plus miles,
but he made it there in time to
start working at 7 a.m.
4 p.m. My other helpers leave
for their homes. Joseph finishes
mowing; I do some tilling in the
garden.
6:30 p.m. Supper time. On
the menu are hamburger sandwiches and lettuce salad.
9 p.m. Everyone is cleaning
up for the night. We decided to
quit early and get a good nights
sleep for once. Gods blessings!
This week Ill share the
recipe that I got from sister
Emma. She brought it here on
Saturday when they came to
help. It is delicious!

Does the early bird

always get the worm?
Following atwo-week battle
with this summer flu, I awoke
early the other morning wanting to get errands done and to
feel the breeze of a cool summer morning. After hurriedly doing my morning chores,
such as drinking coffee and
feeding my cat, I got ready, got
in my car and off I went.
It was such a beautiful cool
morning and I appreciated
the beauty of the earth and
how fortunate we are to be a
part of it. As I pulled onto the
main road, I was pleasantly
surprised to see lots and lots
of traffic and people up and
about as early as I was. The
occasion? The U.S. 127 garage sales were in full swing
and people were walking,
driving and riding bicycles to
get those bargains. I think it
is amazing to see all the sales
going on and how so many
travelers go through the area
this particular weekend.
However, watch out for the
drivers. The bargain hunters
pull out in front of other cars,
walk across the roads without warning and park their
cars wherever they want. I am
fine with all of this, because
all of the sellers and buyers
are working at either making
money or spending money.
I saw all kinds of garage
sale displays, tents and even
a hot air balloon advertising
their wares. One location was
offering free coffee, while another sign was posted which
read, Homemade Food.
Believe it or not, this is part
of the U.S.A. As for me, I
love bargains too, but walking
around or driving for hours to
find one takes too much time
and effort.
As I meandered my car to
the shopping center, I was so
happy that it was only 8:30
a.m. and perhaps I could grab
a cart, run down the aisles,
grab my items and check out
quickly.
The first thing I noticed
when I got out of my car was a
small dog locked in a van. The
poor little thing was scratching
at the vehicle windows and
barking very loudly and frantically. I noticed, too, that one
window was cracked and so it
appeared the animal could get

some air. Poor little dog.
Icould not believe it, but
the store was also very busy
and, of course, only one check
out lane was open. It took me
some time to get my list of
items, so I thought perhaps the
store would not be as crowed
if I did just take my time.
One item on my list was
light bulbs. Do you know how
many kinds of light bulbs there
are? There are energy saving
bulbs, solar, all kinds of wattages and various shapes and
colors.
I picked up a package of
light bulbs, which were made
by GE. On the front it said,
Daytime bulbs. I had no
idea what daytime bulbs were,
so I called a friend who did not
know either. I did not know
if those bulbs just worked in
the daytime or if they were as
bright as daytime at nighttime.
However, I bought them and
we shall see.
After I checked out my
items, I forgot where I had
parked my car. so I went out
the wrong door and had to
walk around to the other side
with my bags. I found my car,
but that little dog was still
barking and putting up a fuss.
I do wonder why people take
their dogs shopping and leave
them in a car for an hour? It
makes no sense.
I did not get around that day
as fast as I wanted to, but my
day was not over. I play a gig
on Thursday nights in Continental. I always drive down
U.S. 127 and over to Ohio
613. Did I ever get a surprise.
I have never seen so many
more garage sales in my life.

There were cars pulled off the

highway, cars coming out of
driveways and cars passing
each other to get that elusive
bargain. I lost count of how
many sales I did see, but if
anyone needs anything, those
sales would be the place to go.
It was such a nice summer
night and I always enjoy the
drive to and from Continental.
Music was great, the food was
great and all in all my day had
been busy, but pleasant. When
I drive home from music, I always turn on my car radio and
there are old radio shows on
such as Mary Foster, Editors
Daughter.
I was cruising along listening to the perils of Mary Foster in the moonlit night. All of
a sudden, I saw something run
across the road right in front
of me. Then there was another something, just like the first
one, right behind it. Thank
God I got stopped just in
time, because it was two baby
deer who must have lost their
mama. They scurried so fast
across the road into a cornfield. I was very, very lucky
not to have hit them. Those
deer were lucky and so was I.
Another person was also
lucky on that road. There was
a man riding a motorcycle
who had absolutely no lights
on. I guess God was looking
out for all of us. The rest of my
drive was uneventful.
I am also a fan of the TV
show called Big Brother. I
settled down in my easy chair
with a snack and prepared to
watch my taping. Oh, no! For
some reason it did not tape.
Somehow I wound up taping
a lot of episodes of Peoples
Court.
There is so much to see and
learn during the course of a
day. That day, I learned about
garage sales and trying to
count them, little barking dogs
in cars, finding my car, almost
hitting two deer, a man on a
dark motorcycle, and I am
still trying to figure out how to
tape Big Brother.
What kind of days do you
have? Are they busy or uneventful? did you goto any garage sales? Let me know and
Ill give you a Penny for Your
Thoughts.

The wonders of worms

By Staci Miller
Education specialist
Paulding SWCD
Throughout the summer, Staci Miller, education specialist, has visited the Northwest Ohio
Community Action Commission Healthy Lunch
Program as a presenter for the children after
lunch.
Recently, youths got the opportunity to learn
about vermicomposting, which is the process of
using worms (vermin is Latin for worm) to
process organic food waste into nutrient-rich soil.
The youths learned how to construct a
worm bin by using storage totes. They also
learned about what worms like to eat and how
they are able to eat the rotting food and reuse
it as a natural fertilizer for plants.

Worm poop or castings are the best compost. It is full of beneficial nutrients that are a
great plant fertilizer.
After learning about their habitat, kids got
the chance to hold a live red wiggler worm.
Then, to finish off the presentation, youths
participated in a worm relay game. They
were transformed into birds and had to pick
up worms (pipe cleaners) with their beak
(clothespin) just like birds and deliver them to
their birdhouse (container). The students really enjoyed playing this relay game and getting
to hold a live red worm.
Anyone interested in this or other educational programs should contact Miller at 419399-4771 for a full listing of programs available for classrooms or organizational groups.

Attending a major league

game in a high-tech world
The first time I attended
a baseball game was when I
was in junior high school. Our
Sunday School class attended
a game between the Braves
and Reds at the old Crosley
Field in Cincinnati.
We met at our Sunday
School teachers house in
Berne, decided we were going
to stay in procession the best
we could, traveled down the
old U.S. 27 and then drove
into Cincy by way of Hamilton and the narrow streets that
wound through Proctor and
Gamble and other well-known
businesses of the time.
At the ballpark, we waited
in a long line to purchase our
tickets, watched the game, returned home by the same old
two-lane highway system and
arrived home at 4:30 a.m., an
hour and a half before my father, a driver on the trip, was
scheduled to go to work at the
furniture factory.
Recently, Jason asked me if
I would like to join him for a
father and son outing to watch
the Chicago White Sox play
the Devil Rays in Chicago. As
always, I was excited to attend
another baseball game, especially with a family member.
But at that point, things
changed completely compared
to that first game to view the
Reds in Cincinnati over 50
years ago. When I arrived, he
was on his laptop supposedly
making arrangements for the
game. I noted he purchased
tickets with his bank card.
We left Fort Wayne at 9:30
a.m. and were in Chicago
shortly before noon. To top
off the days family warmth,
daughter, Sandi, who lives in
Chicago, met us near the sta-

HOMESPUN

By
JIM LANGHAM
dium to have lunch with us.
We picked her up and she and
Jason started searching their cell
phones for a corner deli and directions, personally written on
the cell phones, for lunch. Our
phones directed us to the front
door of the restaurant where we
had some of Freddies finest hot
dogs and soup.
Following lunch, the cell
phones gave the kids directions to a certain parking lot
where Jason had made reservations for our parking back

at the house. From there, we

walked to the gate entrance
of the ballpark where Jasons
cell phone was scanned for
numbers. Presto, tickets for us
popped out of the scanner and
we were in for the game.
Every resource imaginable
was available to us through
Jasons cell phone: news,
game stats, weather conditions
and many places to purchase
snacks (but not really cheap)
and souvenirs.
Following the game, it became quickly evidenced that
high-tech cant do everything
in this complicated world.
It was rush hour in Chicago
and with the ballgame traffic
also emptying on to I-94, it
took us two and a half hours to
get out of Chicago in bumperto-bumper traffic. Once we
reached the Indiana line and
the more familiar U.S. 30, we
drove the remainder of the
way home in open farm country, deeply welcomed back by
this old guy after spending a
splendid high-tech day with
my children.

Inflation and Your Retirement Strategy

By Phil Recker
Edward Jones Advisor
You might not think much
about inflation. After all, its
been quite low for the past several years. Still, you may want
to take it into account when
youre planning your retirement
income strategy.
Of course, no one can really
predict the future course of inflation. But its a pretty safe bet
it wont disappear altogether
and even a mild inflation rate,
over time, can strongly erode
your purchasing power. Consider this: If you were to purchase an item today for $100,
that same item, in 25 years,
would cost you $209, assuming
an annual inflation rate of 3%.
Thats a pretty big difference.
During your working years,
you can hope that your income
will at least rise enough to
match inflation. But what about
when you retire? How can you
minimize the impact of inflation
on your retirement income?
One thing you can certainly
do is include an inflation assumption in your calculations of
how much annual income youll
need. The number you choose
as an inflation factor could possibly be based on recent inflation levels, but you might want

to err on the conservative side

and use a slightly higher figure.
Since you may be retired for
two or three decades, you might
have to periodically adjust the
inflation factor to correspond to
the actual inflation rate.
Another important step is
maintaining an investment portfolio that can potentially provide returns well above the inflation rate. Historically, stocks
have been the only investment
category as opposed to investments such as Treasury bills and
long-term government bonds
whose returns have significantly
outpaced inflation. So you may
want to consider owning an appropriate percentage of stocks
and stock-based investments in
your portfolio, even during your
retirement years.
Now, you might be concerned
at the mention of the words
stocks and retirement years
in the same sentence. After all,
stocks will fluctuate in value,
sometimes dramatically, and
even though you may be retired
for a long time, you wont want
to wait for years to bounce
back from a bad year in the
market. But not all investments
move in the same direction at
the same time; spreading your
dollars among a range of asset
classes large stocks, small and
mid-cap stocks, bonds, certificates of deposit (CDs), foreign
investments and so on may
help you reduce the impact of
volatility on your portfolio.
And you dont even have to
rely solely on stocks to help
combat inflation. You could
also consider Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities, or
TIPS. When you purchase a
TIPS, your principal increases
with inflation and decreases
with deflation, as measured by
the Consumer Price Index. Your
TIPS pay interest twice a year,

at a fixed rate; this rate is applied

to the adjusted principal, so your
interest payments will rise with
inflation and fall with deflation.
When your TIPS matures, you
will receive adjusted principal
or original principal, whichever
is greater. As is the case with
other bonds, though, you could
choose to sell your TIPS before
it matures.*
Work with your financial advisor to help decide what moves
are right for you to help protect
your retirement income from
inflation. It may be a hidden
threat, but you dont want to ignore it.
* Yield to maturity cannot
be predetermined, due to uncertain future inflation adjustments. If TIPS are sold prior
to maturity, you may receive
less than your initial investment
amount. If bonds are not held in
a tax-advantaged account, investors will be required to pay
federal taxes on the accredited
value annually, although they
will not receive any principal
payment until maturity. When
the inflation rate is high and the
principal value is rising significantly, the taxes paid on TIPS
may exceed interest income
received. Therefore, TIPS may
not be suitable for investors who
depend on their investments for
living expenses.

PAULDING EXEMPTED VILLAGE SCHOOLS

AUGUST 2015 NEWSLETTER

SUPERINTENDENTS MESSAGE
Dear Friends of the Paulding Exempted Village
Schools,
The 2015-2016 school year is here with opening
day for students on August 20, 2015. The custodians and transportation staff have been busy preparing the buildings and buses for the upcoming
school year. Their hard work is extremely important and very much appreciated.
Open house for all buildings will be Tuesday,
August 18, 2015. We invite everyone to stop in,
tour the buildings, meet new staff members, as
well as visit with returning staff. I am personally
very excited to get another year started as we have
a great school system here at Paulding Exempted
Village Schools.
The new "Safe Routes to School" project along
with the village sewer separation project, are going on at the same time in Paulding. Please be
patient as we expect delays and possible rerouting
of traffic during drop off and pick up times at the
start of the school year. The new sidewalks on
Emerald Road and Water Street will help increase
our students safety to and from school.
Community support along with communication is
a vital part of any successful school district, and
we look forward to working with our communities, staff, and students again this year to continue
strengthening the education we provide at Paulding Exempted Village Schools.
Please
feel
free
to
contact
me
at w_hanak@pauldingschools.org or 419-3994656 ext 1510 if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you and GO PANTHERS!
Sincerely,
William D. Hanak, Superintendent

NOTES FROM THE PRINCIPALS

Paulding Elementary Stephanie Tear
I hope the excitement of returning to school is still
in your home! The hallways here at Paulding Elementary are filling up with smiles! We are lucky
to have new smiling staff faces as well here to
enrich our school. Teachers new to our district
this year are: Jennifer LaBoe-Intervention Specialist, Phil Romero-Intervention Specialist,
Amanda Teman-Intervention Specialist, Carolyn
Horstman-Intervention Specialist, Michelle Weddelman-Third Grade, Jill Keller- Fourth Grade,
Kelly Buss-Fourth Grade, Emily AustinComputer Teacher, Kinsey Miller-Art Teacher,
and Kristin Barbas-Title Teacher. Please join me
in welcoming them to our school.
There have been many teachers working hard all
summer preparing for a wonderful 2015-2016
school year! Teacher teams were in place to interview and assist in hiring of the teachers listed
above. The intervention teachers were hired by
our new Special Education Director, Loni Porinchok. Class lists were created by a team of teachers with your childs best interest in mind. The
lists have been posted and we are looking forward
to a positive year! Teacher teams organized time
to get together to work or curriculum and the 2015
-2016 schedule to be most effective for our students. Take time to thank a teacher for the many
hours they put in during the summer. Paulding
schools are blessed to have dedicated and hardworking teachers!
The Third grade Ohio Achievement Assessment
scores are in. Paulding Elementary has reached
another amazing accomplishment because this
yearthe results are even higher! We had 63%
of the third graders score Advanced!
(AMAZING!!) With the State raising the percentage passing from 75% to 80% and the performance Index score from 100 to 108- our third
graders were even able to surpass this rigorous
expectation. We had a 93% passage rate and an
index score of 109.7! A big congratulations goes
out to our students, parents and teachers!
Open House is always well attended. It is a great
sign to a principal to be a part of a school community where the school is supported. Your involvement and communication with the teacher is very
important to your childs success. I thank you for
what you have done in the past and your future
work with your children.
Our PTO is a wonderful resource to the children
at Paulding Elementary School. The volunteers
work very hard and diligently to provide amazing
opportunities and support for their school days.
Please think about joining this group and contributing your time and talent to making children
great!
Author Carol Dweck said, If parents want to give
their children a gift, the best thing they can do is
to teach their children to love challenges, be intrigued by mistakes, enjoy effort, and keep on
learning. That way, their children dont have to be
slaves of praise. They will have a lifelong way to
build and repair their own confidence. She also
said, The way you interact with your children has
a major impact on the way they think about themselves and perform in school. These quotes get
Paulding Elementary ready to continue supporting
you- the parents- dreams for your childrens success and have our students back in school learning
and reaching their goals! It will be a great year at
Paulding Elementary in 2015-2016!
Oakwood Elementary-Jennifer Manz
Hello from Oakwood Elementary! I hope, as you
read this article, you have been enjoying the past
few weeks of sunshine! Summer days filled with
sunshine and special activities reading books,
playing summer ball, riding bikes, swimming,
catching lightning bugs, running barefoot outside,
eating ice cream cones, staying up late, taking
family vacations make the very best memories!
Now that you have turned the calendar page to
August and the days get a little shorter than they
were the week before, school will be here before
you know it. It is certainly getting busier here at
Oakwood Elementary! Custodians are putting the

finishing touches on the building, and teachers are

returning to their classrooms to begin preparing
for the upcoming school year. Class lists for 2015
-2016 have been posted on our main doors here at
Oakwood Elementary and on our school webpage.
They are also printed in local newspapers the
week of August 10. Our school supply lists were
sent home in the grade card envelopes in May and
are also available on our website.
As last school year ended, the Oakwood Elementary staff and students said goodbye to several
very special teachers and aides. We wish each of
them the very best in the new directions their lives
have taken. I am confident the new staff members
joining us will continue the tradition of creating a
positive learning environment you have come to
expect at Oakwood Elementary. Please join me in
welcoming several new staff members for the
2015-2016 school year. Mrs. Briana Ripke is
joining our pre-school team as the ECE pre-school
teacher; Mrs. Laura Stechschulte will be teaching
Title I; Ms. Sarah Klima will be our primary intervention specialist; Mr. Mark Rhodes will be our
Phys. Ed. teacher; Ms. Emily Austin is our new
technology teacher; Mrs. Amanda Hiser and Mrs.
Laurie Ball will be intermediate intervention specialists; and Mrs. Jennifer Miller will be teaching
5th/6th grade Social Studies. We also welcome
Jamye Jones, Marie Shrider, and Joann Bail
aides in our classrooms and on our playgrounds.
We look forward to having each one join the
Oakwood Elementary team!
A special note to our parents: On the first days of
school, several forms will come home with your
children that need to be completed and returned to
school, as soon as possible. Thank you in advance for promptly seeing to what I refer to as
Annual Parent Homework. Please be assured
that each form is important. If you have any questions as you are completing them, please contact
the office (419.594.3346); and we will help you.
We invite all of you to visit Oakwood Elementary
on Tuesday, August 18th, from 5:30-7:00, during
our annual Open House. Everyone is welcome!

strive to pass out the first FULL week of school.

We want to welcome new staff members Laurenn
Shaffer-Intervention Specialist, Brian SandwischBand Director, and Kelly Gerken-HS English.
Thanks to the custodians as they have made the
building and classrooms look spectacular! Students will be given a lot of information on the first
day of school, therefore, we will have a Transitions time for new freshman at 8:00 a.m. on the
20th and the Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors
will have a 2 hour delay start and will star t the
school day at 10:00 a.m. promptly. Handbooks
that need your signature will be passed out and I
encourage parents to look over the policies and
procedures. Dress code will be enforced starting
on the first day of school, so please make sure that
students clothing and grooming meet the specifications listed in the handbook.
Meet the Teams will be Friday, August 21st at
the football field after the scrimmage with Edgerton at 6:00 p.m. Please come out and support our
student athletes as they begin a new sports season. Reminder that fees for student supplies needed for classroom materials need to be paid in order to participate in ALL extracurricular activities
including Drama, Band, dances, all sports, Engineering Team, Science Olympiad, etc. Plans can
be arranged for monthly payments if full payments cannot be made immediately and can be
done in the High School office. Open House is a
great time to get these fees taken care of for the
year. If your child qualifies for free or reduced
lunches, please pick up these forms at Open
House in the High School office or as soon as
possible. Students who qualify for free or reduced
lunch can also possible qualify for fee waivers
that can assist in paying for fees. Also, all students MUST have Emergency Medical forms
(besides the one done for Athletics). These forms
are color coded by grade level and will be mailed
out and need to be brought in during Open House
or as soon as possible so students can be able to
participate in school sponsored activities that may
go off campus, and proper safety and medical
procedures can be followed in the case of emerMiddle School-Chris Etzler

SCHOOL ZONE

Fifth and sixth graders at Divine Mercy recently made palliums. A pallium is worn by the pope and
archbishops. The pallium is made from the wool of two lambs that are blessed on the feast day of
Saint Agnes, a martyr of the church. Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI said, The lambs wool is meant to
represent the lost, the sick or weak sheep which the shepherd places on his shoulders to carry to the
waters of life. The students enjoyed being pope for a day. Pictured above front row from left - Cameron
Cox, Treyton Banks, Garrett Williamson, Kaden Sutton, and Grant Schmidt; back row - Jacob Graham,

Growing milkweed on purpose, with a purpose

Last summer, some longtime family friends stopped
by to see us, and as we were
strolling through the garden,
the wife came to a dead stop,
with a look of shock on her
face. Youve got milkweed
growing in your garden, she
said with a little giggle.
Indeed I did. At that point
in the summer, it was in all its
glory, about five feet tall, with
beautiful pink blooms, some
waning, and the start of those
unmistakable teardrop-shaped,
prickly seed pods. They were
restricted to one section of
the garden, but had obviously
come up randomly and been
allowed to stay.
As one who is hyper aware
of the plight of the monarch
butterfly, I was a bit surprised
that she didnt know why
common milkweed (and other
varieties) were welcome and
encouraged in my garden. But
I was more than happy to explain why I no longer viewed
it as an intruder, rather it is the
thing that draws the monarchs
to my garden and helps them
raise their young.
Milkweed plants of all kinds
are the only plants that play
host to the monarch butterfly
caterpillars, and destruction of
milkweed habitat has played
a large role in why monarch
numbers have been dwindling
since the mid-1990s. It was
then that Roundup-ready crops
hit the market and milkweed
has been a victim ever since.
Monarch butterflies have become collateral damage.
A change in how we view
the plant is in order if we want
to keep this iconic butterfly
as a part of our summer experience. Monarchs are in the
process of being considered
for the endangered species list
and the call was made several
years ago for backyard gardeners to help them out by
purposely growing milkweed
in their gardens.
Growing milkweed plants
is easy to do from seed and
now is a good time to plant
them. They can be planted in
the spring too, but if you think

In the
Garden

By
Kylee Baumle
about how nature grows them,
from now through late fall is
prime time for planting.
As the milkweed plants
mature, they form seed pods,
as theyre doing now. When
these dry and break open, the
seeds will be dispersed by the
wind, because of the silky fibers attached to each seed.
Theyll land in various places
and if they find soil, theyll
have one of the things they
need to germinate and grow.
The seeds also need cold
stratification the combination of moisture and cold
temperatures which helps
soften the seed coat. When the
ground begins to warm in the
spring, the seeds will germinate and grow.
If you collect the seeds from
pods in the next few weeks,
you can separate the seeds
from the white fluffy silk,
which is only there to help
them float in the air, and plant
them in a full sun location.
Milkweed seeds need light to
germinate, so they should be
surface-sown and not covered.
It may take a year or two for
them to bloom or produce seed
pods. Once common milkweed
is established, it will spread by
self-seeding and underground
rhizomes, so be sure to plant
it where it has some room for
future expansion.
If common milkweed (Asclepias syriaca) isnt your
thing, swamp milkweed (A. incarnata) may be more to your
liking, with its smaller leaves
and less aggressive nature. Its

easy to grow, seeds dont need

cold stratification, and it seems
to be slightly more preferred
by monarchs in this area.
Other milkweeds native to
our corner of the state include
clasping, purple, and whorled
milkweed, among others. They
have similarly shaped flowers
and nearly all have the white,
milky sap that gives them their
common name. Butterfly weed
(A. tuberosa) does not.
The final monarch generations of the summer are now
being conceived and born.
Winter migration has already
begun in Canada and will
reach our area in mid-September.

ers. Its one of the milkweed family of plants vital to the survival of the monarch butterfly.
