At press time, the Auglaize River Re-gatta, scheduled for this Saturday, July 11, will be held, according to Oakwood Development Corporation director Damien Morales. However, Morales cautions that if rain causes addition-al flooding or becomes a hazard to the participants, the event will be canceled. “We have changed the date and be-cause of the changes we have lost ven-dors as well as kayakers who planned to

workforce needs. “We are very proud of our longstanding partnership with Vantage,” said Voje. “We helped tailor a program that fills wind farm needs across the country, while potentially providing wind turbine and solar technicians for Iberdro-la Renewables. Last year we were able to institute a veter-ans’ scholarship program at Vantage to help veterans and their families train for jobs in the renewable energy sector. As a veteran, I’m very proud to work for a company where more than 15% of our opera-tional employees are military veterans or active duty re-serves.” Jeff and Cathy Thomas, owners and operators of Lin-coln Ridge Farms who have a lease with Blue Creek Wind Farm, also attended Thurs-day’s visit. The wind farm pays approximately $2 million in annual lease payments to local landowners –like the Thomas-es – and $2.7 million in annual payments to go to local school districts and municipalities. Owned by Iberdrola Re-newables and operating since June 2012, Blue Creek Wind Farm has 115 turbines in Van Wert County and 37 turbines in Paulding County. During the construction phase of the project, the farm created more than 500 construction jobs, generated $25 million in local spending, and created work for more than 30 Ohio companies that contributed parts or labor. Brown has been a longtime supporter of wind energy and boosting the domestic manu-facture of wind turbines used in wind farms like Blue Creek. Brown supported the bipar-tisan extension of the critical “1603” clean energy grant pro-gram, which will be used to finance the Blue Creek project,

and was included in the tax ex-tenders package passed by the Senate in December 2010. After the Blue Creek Wind Farm visit, the senator traveled to Paulding, where he first met with several local leaders at the Paulding County Economic Development Office, then with county Emergency Manage-ment Agency director Ed Bohn regarding recent flood dam-age that occurred in Paulding County. Brown talked with Bohn, EMA volunteer Phil Wells and county Commissioner Mark Holtsberry behind the school on Emerald Road, where sev-eral nearby homes were im-pacted by high water last week-end. Bohn expressed concern that there appears to be less grant funding for fire departments available through Department of Homeland Security than had been available since the 9/11 attacks, and urged the senator not to let funding slip away. They also discussed the process for obtaining disaster declarations. Flood damage doesn’t appear to be enough to warrant a presidential declara-tion, Bohn remarked. The county engineer’s of-fice and Ohio Department of Transportation are evaluating damage to roads and bridges in the county, Bohn said. In another matter, Holts-berry told Sen. Brown that for many years, he worked through the Veterans Administration to obtain headstones to mark graves of veterans who had no markers. About two to three years ago, he stopped getting them, apparently because a family member must make the request. Often, the veterans’ graves are very old and there is no family left here to speak on their behalf. Brown said he would check into the situation.

Paulding Village proposes lifting some 2-hour parking limitsBy SAMANTHA

HABERNCorrespondent

PAULDING – The Paulding Vil-lage Council met in a regular meeting on Monday, July 6. At the June 15 council meeting, officials reported that the street com-mittee was working on a new parking map for downtown, following sever-

al questions and concerns about the ability to park without getting ticket-ed. With this, the council heard the first reading of Ordinance 1504-15, which would delete certain sections of Ordinance 961-87 to provide for unrestricted parking on certain streets off the square. Ordinance 1504-15 is currently being reviewed to match up

to the map. The village’s farmland rental is up for bid. It is a three-year contract that ends Aug. 31. The new contract will start Sept. 1 and will be for the next farm year. More information will be available next week. Councilman Jim Guelde thanked the “guys at the garage” for painting the building.

The administrator’s agenda includ-ed a water, sewer and refuse assess-ment for a residence owned by Sonya M. Geckle. Among those attending were Greg Reinhart and Boy Scouts who ob-served the evening’s proceedings. The village website is currently be-ing worked on. The street committee will meet at

5:30 p.m. July 16 regarding concerns with access to U.S. 127 during the snow and ice season. A utility committee meeting will be held on July 21 at 5:30 p.m. An executive session was held af-ter the meeting. No additional action was taken. The next regular council meeting will be at 6:30 p.m. on July 20.

Several injured in 3-vehicle crash BROUGHTON – Three persons were injured in a three-vehicle crash at the intersection of Ohio’s 613 and 637 on Monday afternoon. According to the Ohio State Highway Patrol’s Van Wert Post, the incident occurred at 1:09 p.m. July 6 in Jackson Township. A 2011 Chevrolet Equinox, driven by Jodie L. Kinney, age 51, of Dublin, Ohio, was traveling southbound on 637 and stopped at the posted stop sign. Troopers said Kinney failed to yield the right of way to traffic on 613 and collided with a westbound 2000 Ford Windstar driven by Kourtney Jo Thomas, age 16, of Oakwood. After the initial collision, a 2015 GMC Sierra, driven by Eric F. Kohart, age 30, of Fostoria, was struck. Kohart was traveling eastbound on 613 and had stopped at the intersection to yield to on-coming traffic with intentions to make a left turn onto 637. Kinney was transported by Paulding EMS to the Paulding County Hospital with minor inju-ries. Reportedly, she was trapped in her vehicle and had to be extricated by emergency respond-ers. Her passenger, Noah P. Kinney, age 14, of

Dublin, was not transported. Thomas and her passenger, Lauren N. Hill, age 16, of Paulding, were both transported by Grover Hill EMS to the Paulding County Hospital with minor injuries. Kohart did not claim injury. Alcohol is not believed to be a factor and all occupants were reportedly wearing seatbelts. Kinney was issued a citation for failure to yield to oncoming traffic. The intersection is part of the traffic detour due to closure of U.S. 127 in Paulding for a sewer project. Motorists are being routed onto Ohio 613, Ohio 637 and Ohio 111 back to U.S. 127. The Ohio State Highway Patrol was assisted on scene by the Paulding County Sheriff’s Of-fice, Paulding Fire/EMS, Grover Hill Fire/EMS, Gideon’s Towing and R&O Service. The Van Wert Post reminds motorists to use extra caution at intersections, obey stop signs and yield to oncoming traffic. The Van Wert Post has handled four stop sign related traffic crashes in Paulding County since July 1, which has resulted in 11 individuals suffering injury.

A second back seat passen-ger, Josephine L. Liska, age 67, of Defiance, was transported from the scene by Samaritan LifeFlight to Parkview North Hospital with serious but non-life threatening injuries. The occupants in van were not wearing seatbelts. Mattingly was transported by EMS to the Paulding County Hospital for minor injuries. He was wearing his seatbelt at the time of the crash. U.S. 24 was temporarily closed during the crash inves-tigation. The Ohio State Highway Patrol was assisted on scene by the Paulding County Sheriff’s Office, Samaritan LifeFlight, Antwerp Fire/EMS, Paulding Fire/EMS, Crane Township Fire Department, the Ohio De-partment of Transportation, the Paulding County Engineer’s Office, and Gideon’s Towing and Recovery. Alcohol use was not a factor in the traffic crash and the crash remains under investigation.

make the overall experience even better.” The second annual Auglaize River Regatta will be held on Saturday, July 11 beginning at 10 a.m. Unlike last year, when reg-istration took place near the boat dock in Oakwood, this year registration will be held at Auglaize Canoe and Kayak Rentals, located at 24687 Road 207, where the competition will begin. One major boost the regatta has received is the support of Paulding County Hospital. This year the hospital is wagering some friend-ly competition within its employees. Right now hospital employees have formed 13 teams that will participate in the re-gatta. “I participated in the regatta last year and had a great time. With overall positive health and wellness, I thought this would be an ex-cellent event to promote both as well as being something that our employees would enjoy. I am more than happy with the response,” said Paulding Coun-ty Hospital CEO Randy Ruge.

The 3.5-mile canoe and kay-ak sprint race will be divided into a youth bracket and adult bracket. Each bracket will feature three different events including a two-person canoe race, two-person kayak and one-person kayak race. Regis-tration fee is $5 per person, per race and can be paid the day of the event. Compe- tition will begin at

9 a.m. with the start of

the first of six races. Canoe and kayak rental will also be avail-able for $20 per watercraft. The race course on the Auglaize River will be 3.5 miles for each race and will conclude at the boat dock in Oakwood. During the races, there will be activity in downtown Oak-

wood. Local vendors will be on scene, food booths will be available and music will be provided by Brian and Poor Bottom Grass Band. “This year we have set three goals for the regatta. First, we want to help local businesses and we will do that with the participation coming from the community along with out-of-town visitors to the regatta,” said Morales. “Secondly, with the hospi-

tal on board, and this event being outdoors and offering a cer-tain amount of exer-cise, we want to have a good time but at the

same time encourage wellness.

“Thirdly, we want the regatta to grow and become an event

that families can attend and enjoy the rivers,” Morales continued. “So, we are em-

phasizing local commerce, wellness and a family friendly summer activity. Those three goals lays a perfect founda-tion for a positive event on a summer day in rural Paulding County.” Additional information can be found at www.odcohio.org/race-registration.

More weddings in the works

Lovina topped potato slices with some yummy goodies for an extra treat in her recipe for Sliced Baked Potatoes.

There is a lot of activity go-ing on around here this week. Our neighbors Abe and Fredia are taking our old pole barn down to save the lumber that is still good enough to reuse. Abe, his sons, my husband Joe, and our boys have been busy taking it all apart. Last night they finished saving the rafters. Today the walls were taken down and all the wood that’s not reusable is being burned as I write this. Our neighbor Marlin cut our oats and he will bale that crop for us. Neighbor Harlan is here digging the water line and hook-ing up more solar power. All three men and Joe work in RV factories and are on vacation this week. It isn’t proving to be much of a vacation for them. Joe and the boys are building a work bench in the new pole building when time allows. They want to organize all the tools. Daughter Elizabeth is also on vacation for two weeks. The bad news is she is laid up with double pneumonia. She sure has had a hard time to recover. The doctor put her on some pretty strong antibiotics and she had to go back in for another shot. The doctor said if she didn’t improve with everything she is taking, then she would have to be admitted to the hospital. She showed improvement the next day, so hopefully she can keep recovering at home. She has a hard time accepting the fact that she needs rest in order to get better. I think she worries too much that we won’t get things done before her wed-ding. I’m sure everything will fall into place. With all the ex-tra projects going on, it did look hopeless for a while. Tomorrow, July 1, is daughter Loretta’s 15th birthday. Her age is always easy to remember as she was born in the year 2000. We have two more wedding invitations on our refrigerator. Niece Katie Edna and Ben are getting married on July 23. I was asked to be a cook. Mose and Susan and Verena will all be table waiters. This wedding is in Berne, Ind. And congratulations also go to Leander and Karen. They picked Aug. 28 for their spe-cial day. This wedding is in our community. I was happy to have a short visit with my friend Ruth and her church friends. The week was too busy to go spend some

time with all of them on Mon-day. Maybe next year will work out. This week I’ll share with you the recipe that we are having for supper. It is called sliced baked potatoes. I don’t measure the ingredients; I just make this rec-ipe according to how much of each item I want on the potato slices. Enjoy! God bless each of you and stay healthy!

Time to returnsandbagsDear Editor, The Paulding County Emer-gency Management Agency once again, wants to say THANKS to the over 70 vol-unteers. On two separate oc-casions, people young and old came out and filled sandbags to help those in need, in Paulding County. Now the time has come to gather those sandbags in each of the three communities of Antwerp, Payne and Paulding. The administrations in An-twerp and Payne have been told those sandbags that were sent to their communities are to remain in Antwerp and Payne for the potential of flooding in the future. I am asking the res-idents that obtained sandbags

to get ahold of those village administrations to drop them off at a designated area. The residents of Paulding can return them to the engi-neer’s facility on West Wayne Street in Paulding. Questions have been brought up about contamination of those sandbags, it is not be-lieved that the flood waters of Flat Rock Creek or the flash flooding from the farm fields south of Antwerp had any con-cerning contaminates. There will be an upcoming article about the after action thoughts and ideas that came from these two floods in a two-week peri-od. Anyone who has any ques-tions or concerns can contact the Paulding County EMA at 419-399-3500.

Are cover crops an option with all the wet weather?By Sarah Noggle

OSU Extension Educator With the excess rain/flooding and wheat to be harvested, farmers are thinking about delayed planting (unharvested) OR planting/replant-ing for a quick forage or cash crop. There are four major types of cov-er crops including grasses, legumes, brassicas, and others. Major grasses include oats, wheat, cereal rye, annual ryegrass, Sudan-sorghum, and barley. These grasses are often grown before soy-beans, may absorb left over nitrogen from fertilizer or manure, are good erosion fighters, and reduce soil compaction. Sorghum Sudan (seeded at 30#/A) can be harvested this summer 1-2 times if planted soon, oats (32-64# or 1-2 bushel) may produce 1-3 dry tons of forage in late fall, and cereal rye (60-120#/A or 1-2 bushels) may produce 3-4 dry tons if harvested next spring. Under delayed plant-ing and crop insurance rules, cover crops need be left unharvested in the field. Sorghum Sudan is a summer an-nual that dies with the first frost so it needs to be seeded as soon as pos-sible. Mow or chop after it grows 3 feet tall to promote tillering with 5-9 times more root growth after

cutting. Oats winter kills with tempera-tures below 20°F, has good root growth, easy to plant and manage, and no need for herbicide in spring. Wheat seed (1 bushel) is easy to find; however, it is harder to kill in spring and has a poorer root sys-tem than cereal rye. Avoid planting wheat before Hessian fly free date to reduce pathogen or disease prob-lems. Triticale (winter annual drilled at 50-90#/A) and Teff (summer annu-al drilled 4-8#/A shallow) are good cover crops for forages. Barley (winter annual) makes excellent cat-tle feed for forage or grain. Barley (drilled at 50-75#/A) may be har-vested 2-3 weeks before wheat and is good for producing double crop soybeans next year. Pearl Millet (summer annual drilled at 10-15#/A) is a fast grower, good for short growing windows, good for heat or droughty condi-tions and excellent for grazing or forage value. Cereal rye improves soil structure, suppresses weeds, and makes a good forage. Legumes produce nitrogen, have a large taproot, and are generally

grown before corn. Austrian winter peas (inoculated and drilled at 20-24#/A)) grow 5 feet long but gen-erally die with first frost; however, they may add 100-120#N to soil. Cowpeas (30- 40#/A) is planted after wheat, needs very little mois-ture to germinate, grows well in summer heat but dies with first frost. Cowpeas may accumulate 125-135 #N if inoculated and work well in mixtures because they are shade tol-erant. Sunn hemp (summer annual drilled at 10-15#/A)) may get 10-15 feet tall with yellow flowers, and may produce 200#N (marble size nodules if inoculated), works well in mixture, but dies with frost. Crimson clover (10-20#/A) works well in mixtures with Daikon radish (same size seed). If inocu-lated, crimson clover can produce 100-125#N but needs to be planted by early September to maximize growth. Crimson clover should sur-vive most winters and be allowed to grow as long as possible in spring to maximize N potential (bright red crimson flower). Red Clover (12-15#/A) tolerates wet soils and can be included in

mixtures producing 75-100# N but has a higher C:N ratio so it takes longer to release N than other le-gumes. Sweet Clover (8-10#/A) has a deep tap root, tolerates wet soils, produces 125- 200#N, improves soil drainage and suppresses weeds. Brassicas include Daikon (white root) radishes (3-4#/A) and tur-nips (1-3#/A) and are good for im-proving water infiltration and soil structure, kill or suppress broadleaf weeds, and they accumulate soil nutrients (N-P-K). Radishes die at 15°F and have bad smell when they decompose. They fumigate the soil and promote earthworms. The root is 80% water and decays quickly when soils warm up. Radish grows well under cooler wetter conditions in late summer and early fall and works well in cover crop mixtures. Turnips are a winter annual with shorter taproot and bulb that can be grazed. Other brassicas include rape (3-5#/A) and kale (2-5#/A) which are small seeded winter annuals that survive the winter and can be plant-ed in mid- October. Other cover crops include buck-wheat (20-35#/A), a summer annu-

al, good for surface compaction, attracts beneficial insects and honey bees, and is often used in mixtures. Sunflowers (summer

annuals drilled 5-10#/A) with deep roots that loosen soils, works well with peas or climbing cover crops, and attract bees and beneficial in-sects. Cover crops are often seeded in mixtures. To determine seeding rate in mixtures, divide the full seeding rate by the number of crops in the mixture to get an approximate seed-ing rate for each cover crop. As I sit as one of the two Ohio representatives for the Midwest Cover Crops Council (MCCC), there are many online tools our 12-state group plus Ontario, Canada has organized to help formula mixes of cover crops. These resources can be found at www.mccc.msu.edu/. For additional questions on for-mulating cover crops mixtures or obtaining a copy of the Midwest Cover Crops Field Guide 2nd Edi-tion which Noggle helped author, one can walk in the OSU Extension Office at 503 Fairground Drive, Paulding, or call 419-399-8225. For specific questions an appointment could be set up with Sarah Noggle or one can email questions to [email protected] .

God Bless the U.S.A. Usually they say that the corn should be knee high by the fourth of July. That’s cer-tainly is not the case as you gaze at many of the local farm fields. But the calendar never lies and last weekend we still celebrated our nation’s birth. However, this year, I am be-ginning to think we are living in a monsoon. My grill is pa-tiently awaiting to cook some burgers, my park benches are waiting for a nice coat of paint and I am just ready for some sunshine. Last weekend, whether you celebrated with family, hung out with friends at a barbecue, attended a parade or a ball game, Independence Day is a true slice of America. One of the most popular tra-ditions is setting off fireworks and like any other year, all over the U.S., from Maine to California, the sky lit up to the satisfaction of onlookers of all ages. One of my family’s favor-ite things to do, on the fourth was to go to see a fireworks display. Packing up blankets, popcorn and drinks, we would head out for the venue before 10 p.m. One thing that was always fun to do and I am sure it ag-gravated people, was to ooh and aah at the fireworks. If a firework turned out to be a dud everyone would groan and moan, aww. However, a bright, loud firework would

bring cheers of aah. So basi-cally, you could hear ooh’s or aah’s all over the grounds. Even though it is probably illegal to set off your own fire-works, people still do it. I’m sure many of you sat out side and viewed your neighbors own display as it cracked the sky with bursts of bright lights and shrill sounds. It’s just one of those ways we honor this great country of ours. Of course, not to be com-pletely lost in all the fun is the holiday’s true meaning: the le-gal separation of the American colonies from Great Britain, and the commemoration of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. Arguably the day’s biggest celebration, Washington D.C. features a free concert per-formed on the west lawn of the Capitol, which is viewed

and heard by millions across the country. It seems like we Americans love a reason to celebrate. Patriotic music has always been a part of our July 4 cel-ebration. From the “Battle Hymn of the Republic” to the “Star Spangled Banner,” you probably heard those tunes ring in recent days. I don’t know about you but I never get tired of hearing patriotic music. One of the more popular songs you probably heard in addition to our National Anthem, is “God Bless the U.S.A.” by Lee Greenwood. This song is the most widely played and listened to by many during this time of summer cel-ebration. I admit, it is a song I truly love. Other songs in the na-tion played on our Indepen-dence Day are: “Party in the U.S.A.”; “Born in the U.S.A.”; “R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A.”; “America the Beautiful”; and “American Girl.” So even if you can’t sing, hopefully you enjoyed a pa-rade, a fireworks display even if it was your neighbors, and certainly you raised the colors of old glory and recalled those who fought for our freedom. And yes, God Bless the U.S.A. What did you do to celebrate Independence Day? Did you ooh and aaah at fireworks? Did you hear any of these songs? Let me know and I’ll give you a Penny for Your Thoughts.

What are fairy rings?By Staci Miller

Education specialistPaulding SWCD

Are your lawns forming magical rings in the grass? Due to the recent heavy rainfalls and warm temperatures many home owners are discovering fairy rings. They are dark green circles, arcs, or rings of thick, fast-growing grass that develop anytime from green-up in the spring through the heat of summer until the first hard frost in the fall. These rings are most commonly between 2 and 15 feet in diameter, although they may be larger or smaller. Mushrooms or puffballs may appear under wet conditions in the same ring pattern. In some cases, a ring of brown or dead grass may appear. Fairy rings are caused by many different soil-inhabiting fungi of the class Basidiomycetes. Fairy ring fungi do not attack grass directly, but break down organic matter in the soil. As a result, nitrogen is released which the grass uses, causing it to grow and develop a contrasting green ring. The mushrooms that appear after rainfall are the fruiting bodies of the fungus. Fairy rings break down organic material such as old tree stumps, roots, logs, lumber and other larger pieces of organic material in the soil below the lawn. Once this material is depleted, the fairy ring will disap-pear, but it may take a significant amount of time. Several fairy rings may appear relatively close together, especially on lawns that exist on sites that were previously wooded areas. When this occurs, it becomes noticeable that fairy rings do not cross each other, as fungal activity ceases when fungi from different rings contact each other.

There are approximately 50 species of fungi known to form fairy rings in turf, with Marasmius oreades, Agaricus campestris, Lycoperdon spp, and Scleroderma spp being the most common. These fungi decompose organic debris in the soil and thatch. A fairy ring starts from a piece of mycelium or spore at a single point feeding in the thatch layer or organic soil matter. The uniform outward growth of the fungus results in the development of rings. Under certain conditions, and with certain fairy ring fungi, a ring of dead grass develops. Some of the responsible fungi have been shown to penetrate and kill root cells resulting in dead rings of grass. There are some ways to cover up the fairy rings or remove the fairy rings if they become a nuisance to your lawn. The use of a nitrogen fertilizer can mask the symptoms of fairy ring by causing the rest of the lawn to green up. You can remove the fairy ring and get to the root of the problem by identifying and removing the organic debris that caused the ring to form then establish a new lawn by planting clean, ring-free sod for your new lawn space. Another option is to eliminate thatch buildup with a dethatching program. There are fungicides available for suppres-sion of fairy rings; however, results may be only temporary as the decaying material may still be present. Sources of information for this article were provided by Missouri Botanical Garden. The fairy rings are truly a natural process that can add some character to your lawn and can be a conservation piece for you and your neighbors.

Fairy rings are constantly appearing in lawns, what a great conversation piece!

OSHP, ODOT announcetraffic safety initiative COLUMBUS – As of the last week of June, Ohio had recorded 76 more traffic deaths in 2015 than at the same time a year ago. This 19 percent increase has in-spired the Ohio State Highway Patrol (OSHP) and the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) to join forces with a new initiative utilizing ODOT digital message boards to spread traffic safety messages. The messages were displayed for the first time during the Fourth of July weekend and continue for a trial period. The 130 permanent boards in the urban areas and numer-ous portable message boards throughout the state will rotate between two messages: the year-to-date number of traffic deaths of 2015 and a traffic safety mes-sage such as “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over.” The goal is to moti-vate motorists to exercise caution while behind the wheel. Most traffic crashes can be prevented if the driver slows down, buckles up or avoids driv-ing impaired. Locally, portable message boards will be placed at the fol-lowing locations: • Interstate 75 southbound south of Bluffton

• U.S. 30 eastbound east of the aulding/Van Wert County line • U.S. 68 northbound just north of the Hardin/Hancock County line • Ohio 15 westbound west of Ohio 37 • U.S. 24 eastbound just east of the Paulding/Defiance County line • U.S. 23 northbound just north of the Wyandot/Marion County line. The portable boards will be moved to other locations and continue to display safety mes-sages throughout the year. Traffic deaths were signifi-cantly higher during January, February, and May of this year compared to 2014. In fact, May 2015 was the worst May for traf-fic deaths in a decade. The largest increase was among drivers under the age of 25. Fatal crashes involving al-cohol tripled and the number of deadly crashes involving people not wearing a seat belt doubled during the month of May. “This increase in fatalities is unsettling,” said Colonel Paul A. Pride, Patrol superintendent. “We hope that by coupling the Patrol’s enforcement with the highly visi-ble ODOT signs, we can impact

driver behavior and save some lives.” OSHP and ODOT chose to partner in time for the July Fourth holiday period, as this weekend typically sees an in-crease in traffic fatalities and impaired driving. In the four-day 2014 reporting period, 12 people died in 11 fatal crashes. Of those crashes, five were OVI-related, resulting in six deaths. OSHP made 761 OVI arrests. “Our top priority is always safety,” said ODOT director Jerry Wray. “Like the Highway Patrol, we are concerned about the in-creased number of deaths on our roads and highways. These aren’t just statistics, but someone’s fa-ther or mother, daughter or son.” Digital message boards will display these messages 24 hours per day on weekends and from 9 p.m.-5 a.m. on weekdays, unless there is a higher priority message. The boards will update with the new year-to-date number of confirmed deaths every Thursday night. That number is calculated using police reports from agen-cies statewide, including OSHP. It includes provisional fatali-ties that have been identified through early warning systems but have not been confirmed.

Antwerp School Board

Test results, unpaid schoolfee new calendar unveiled

By JOE SHOUSEProgress Staff Writer

ANTWERP – Superintendent Patri-cia Ross and principals Mike Bute and Tim Manz reported on a variety of issues during the regular Antwerp Local School Board meeting for June. Testing results, approval of contracts and handbooks along with the unveiling of the 2015-16 school calendar were shared. Middle school/high school principal Mike Bute shared in detail the results of the Ohio graduation tests taken by the sophomore class. According to Bute there are five levels of scoring the test; ad-vanced, accelerated, proficient, basic and limited. The top three levels is a passing grade with basic and limited not passing. “We had 53 sophomores take the test with 87 percent passing,” said Bute. In his year end report, Bute commented that two incidences of bullying were re-ported during the second semester. Bute also discussed the change for Saturday school for the upcoming school year. Bute shared the new Satur-day schedule that will now be held after school on Friday. For high school and middle school students it will be held from 3-5 p.m. and elementary students will convene from 2:45-4 p.m. Elementary principal Tim Manz re-ported good news concerning the results of the third grade reading tests that each third grade student is required to pass in order to move to the next grade. “It’s exciting to report that all of our students, 100 percent, past the test,“ said Manz Manz reminded the board that student fees will be $65 for elementary students. The principal recognized student Mor-gan Kniceley who recently was named as one of the regional winners of the Ohio Severe Weather Awareness poster contest. Kniceley will now participate in the state competition in Columbus on Aug. 8.

In her brief report, Ross said that staff-ing for the upcoming year is complete with all hires in place. The bus fleet has been inspected. Nine busses were inspected with eight pass-ing. The lone bus that failed was discov-ered with a leak in a brake line. The bus is scheduled to be repaired in the next few days according to Ross. Concerning outstanding student fees, Ross is hopeful the new student hand-book will help eliminate large balances that some students carry and still owe the school. “Just in the high school alone we have more than $13,000 owed with some stu-dents owing close to $500. We want par-ents or those responsible to do what they can to pay these fees. All we ask is that they come in and set up a payment plan that will work for them,” said Ross. The school calendar for the 2015-16 school year was distributed. The first day of school for students is August 18. The final day scheduled for classes is May 18, 2016 with graduation set for May 22. IT Director Harold Gottke reported that AEP has reimbursed the district a $17,512.04 rebate for taking steps to conserve electricity. Gottke reported how the electric bill for a recent month was $10,000 less than for the same month last year. Gottke updated the board that 77 lap-tops have been purchased along with 250 Chromebooks. “With the purchase of the laptops, ev-eryone in the high school has the same kind of device. The chrome books cost approximately $237 per unit,” said Gottke. The following consent items were ap-proved: • One year teaching contracts for 2015-16 school year for Alyssa Saylor, Marie Plassman and Jason Hale. • One year supplemental contracts for the 2015-16 school year for Kara Eicher,

Kaiya Jemison, Denise Coleman and Al-yssa Saylor. • Kaiya Jemison as a volunteer assis-tant varsity volleyball coach. • Memorandum of understanding concerning extracurricular events for the elementary musical director. • Waiver days of Sept. 4, 2015; Oct. 19, 2015; Jan. 15, 2016; and Feb. 29, 2016. • May 18, 2016 as the last day of school. • Overnight student trip for the var-sity volleyball team on July 9 to Tiffin University for team camp. • Student athletic, coaches middle/high school and elementary student handbooks. • Amended certificate and revised ap-propriations for fiscal year 2015. • Official certificate of estimated re-sources and appropriations for fiscal year 2016. • Ohio school plan for fiscal year 2016 liability and property insurance. • Contract with Northwest Ohio Area Computer Services Cooperative to pro-vide internet, fiscal, and EMIS services for the period of July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016, in the amount of $16,207. • Fiscal Year 2016 service contract with Western Buckeye ESC for the 2015-16 school year. • Resolution requesting certification of alternative tax rates in preparation of renewing the 0.75 percent income tax levy for five years. • Elementary student fees of $65 for kindergarten through fifth grade for the 2015-16 school year. The financial report was presented by school district treasurer Kristine Stu-art. For the month of May expenses to-taled $776,124.36 with receipts totaling $387,419.50. Interest earned on invest-ments was $2,107.66. The July board meeting is scheduled for 5 p.m. on July 23.

2016 Executive Budget cutsWestern Buckeye funding VAN WERT – The Western Buckeye ESC Governing Board held its regular monthly board meeting last Tuesday, June 30 at the Van Wert ESC office. Superintendent Brian Gerber updated the board on Governor Kasich’s executive budget. The amendment adopted by confer-ence committee indicates that Educational Service Centers (ESCs) were cut $2.3 million in fiscal year 2016. “This is actually consistent with the Executive and House-passed funding levels, not the Senate. ESCs are the leader in the Shared Services Model. Governor Kasich has always trumpeted reducing costs through shared services. ESCs are doing everything the Gov-ernor has asked us to do during his tenure. ESCs have reduced the cost to our partner schools through our shared service de-livery model,” said Gerber. “However, Governor Kasich and the House saw a need to propose a cut to ESCs in the amount of $2.3 million in FY16. The Senate did not support this cut, but there wasn’t enough support for ESC funding as it was voted out of conference committee. “My biggest disappointment is with the House. They have traditionally supported ESC funding during the past two bi-ennial budgets. During Kasich’s tenure as governor, his desire to cut ESC funding has been obvi-ous. It began with his very first executive budget proposal for FY12. Nonetheless, I was con-fident that the House saw the educational value the ESCs pro-vided for their school districts. I was hopeful the House would support restoring our funding or at the very least keep ESCs funded at a flat level. We didn’t expect additional funding. We were counting on flat funding in FY16. It just didn’t happen with this Executive Budget,” contin-ued Gerber. “Western Buckeye ESC

has been able to keep costs flat or even reduce cost to the schools in Van Wert and Pauld-ing County. Western Buck-eye ESC is in the top 10 rural ESCs in the state of Ohio that provide a higher percentage of direct student services than their suburban or urban coun-terparts. We have been able to accomplish this goal by being fiscally responsible in reducing overhead costs and personnel cost without negatively impact-ing our level of service. The Western Buckeye ESC shared service delivery model reduces cost by sharing speech, OT, PT, PTAs, OTAs, gifted personnel, school psychologists, and grant writing. We have a Resource Center/Alternative School that serves E.D. students in which we’ve been able to keep costs flat and serve those students who perform better in an alter-native setting rather than in a public school environment. “We also provide non instruc-tional support by paying for bus driver physicals, bus driver in-services, teacher licensure, Ohio Bureau of Criminal In-vestigation/FBI background checks, maintenance of LPDC licensure, parent mentoring, and truancy officer. Even though the Executive Budget is going to cut funding for ESCs in Fiscal Year 2016, the Western Buckeye ESC will continue its proud tra-dition in providing their current level of services for the schools in Van Wert and Paulding County.” Consent items approved by the board: • Western Buckeye Educa-tional Service Center 2015-16 calendar. • Resignation of Heather McClure at the end of the 2014-2015 school year. • Resignation of Rebecca Beaman-Diglia effective Aug. 3. • Increase contract days from 120 to 150 days for San-dra Freeman for the 2015-16

contract year. • Donation from Beta Delta Chapter PSI 10TA XI in the amount of $100.00 to the WBESC PS at Thomas Edison. • One year limited contract to Denise Shouse, paraprofes-sional at Grover Hill for the 2015-16 school year. • One year limited contract to Kathy Habern, paraprofes-sional at Payne for the 2015-16 school year. • Fiscal year 2016 service agreement between Western Buckeye ESC and Northwest Ohio Area Computer Services Cooperative (NOACSC) as pre-sented. • 2015-16 OESCA member-ship in the amount of $2000.00 • Engage the Auditor of State’s Office-LGS-to prepare financial statements for the 2015-16, cost not to exceed $3,500. • Amended fiscal year 2015 and 2016 appropriations for Western Buckeye Educational Service Center as presented. The next regular governing board meeting of the Western Buckeye Educational Service Center will be on Wednesday, Aug. 19 starting at 6 p.m.at the Paulding ESC office.

Foxglove, seen here at Longwood Gardens in Pennsylvania, is one of the garden’s toxic plants, when ingested. Kids can be unpredictable, so supervision is needed if you grow this and children visit your gardens.

Poisonous posies in the potager When our first grandchild was born in 2012, some pro-found changes occurred in our lives. Grandparents the world over know just what an effect those little human beings have in so many ways you didn’t even know they could. But one thing happened here at Our Little Acre that I hadn’t counted on, probably because I wasn’t much of a gardener when our own girls were growing up. Over the years, as I’ve learned more and more about the plants we grow here, I real-ize that not only are we grow-ing edibles, we’re growing things that are very much not edible, right alongside them. And so are you. As I shared this newfound knowledge with Grandpa, the worrier in him emerged and I was informed that I needed to remove all the dangerous plants from the garden and the house, so when Hannah and any future grandchildren came for a visit, we wouldn’t be responsible for injuries or making them sick. Really? How on earth did our own two girls ever sur-vive their parents’ ignorance in allowing them to live every day in the presence of such dangers? We cautioned them about the rose thorns and the poison ivy. We put a locked gate on the fence around our swimming pool. We didn’t let them eat bird eggs. Oh, wait... As a grandparent, for some odd reason the level of caution increases a bit over that which we had for our own children, but I knew it wasn’t necessary to dig up half my garden just to keep our grandkids safe. I simply learned what was poi-sonous and vowed to watch Hannah extra closely. Some things we’ve grown in our garden are well-known poison providers – castor bean plant (Ricinus communis), for instance. Though it’s a gorgeous, fast-growing, trop-ical-looking plant, all parts (especially the seeds) contain the toxin ricin. Those delightful daffodils are toxic to the core, which is likely why squirrels leave the bulbs alone. The bulbs are especially dangerous, but all parts of the plants are

poisonous and just handling the leaves or stems can cause a burning sensation on your skin. It’s wise to use gloves when gardening around both daffodils and jonquils. Who knew? Foxglove (Digitalis pur-purea) is gorgeous, but don’t even think about eating it. The heart medicine digitalis or di-goxin is derived from foxglove plant parts and is sometimes used to control heart rate. Just because one part of the plant is edible doesn’t mean the entire plant is. Take rhu-barb, for example. Those rosy stems are yummy in pies, jams, and cobblers, right? Well, don’t mistakenly think that you can add the leaves at the end of those stems to your salads. Rhubarb leaves contain high quantities of oxalates and when you eat too much of them, you’ll get sick. So don’t eat that part. The stems also contain much smaller quan-tities of it, but not enough to cause much of an effect. Other things have it – cabbage, spin-ach and beet tops, just to name a few – but in lower, accept-able levels. What does oxalic acid do?

It contributes to kidney and bladder stones, for one thing, so if you’re prone to develop-ing these things, you might not want to nosh on veggies that are known to contain higher levels of oxalic acid. Other toxic plants include Rhododendron, monkshood (Aconitum) lily-of-the-valley, Hydrangea, larkspur, English ivy, Euonymus, yews (Taxus), and Wisteria. Of course, a plant doesn’t have to be poisonous to be dangerous to children. Besides the obvious rose, other thorny plants to watch out for include cactus varieties, barberry (Ber-beris), blackberries, and fire-thorn (Pyracantha). Plants in the Euphorbia genus (includes Poinsettia) have a milky sap that can be extremely irritating to the skin and can cause blindness if it gets in your eye. Some euphorbias have thorns along with the sap, making them doubly dangerous. Some of the plants I men-tioned will affect some people more than others, while some of the plants are just plain toxic for everyone. Quantities ingested will affect the reac-tion too, but all of them are potentially dangerous. All of this doesn’t make a garden sound like a very friendly place for kids, does it? Not at all. Some common sense and supervision are all that’s needed – two things that go a long way toward raising good and healthy kids, both in and out of the garden.

Vantage board talks hiring, TIFs

By ERIN COXDHS Media Staff Writer

VAN WERT — Members of the Vantage Career Center Board of Education met last Thursday evening with a light agenda mainly concerning personnel hirings and moving forward with financial agree-ments. A resolution was approved to proceed to levy a renewal tax in excess of the 10-mill limitation. “Just a reminder to the pub-lic that it is just a renewal so there’s no new monies being asked out of any of the taxpay-ers, it is just a renewal,” Laura Peters, treasurer, said. Two Tax Increment Fi-nancing (TIF) agreements for payment in lieu of taxes were approved. One was from Jack-son Township and the other from York Township, both were for the construction of hog barns. The Jackson Town-ship TIF was at 10 percent for 15 years, which is approxi-mately $389.20 per year. The York Township TIF was at 10

percent for 20 years, approxi-mately $807.14 per year. In personnel matters, the resignation of Nate Snyder, ag satellite instructor, was ap-proved. Members of the board ap-proved the employment of Miriam Owens as superinten-dent secretary for two years, Thomas Bowersox for custodi-al maintenance for two years, Steven Burrow for nightly custodial/maintenance for one year, and Brenda Wurst as an instructional aide for one year. Supplemental contracts were approved for Marcia Osenga, Kari Casto, and Mike Miller as LPDC committee members. Adult education instruc-tors who were approved for employment on an as needed schedule are as follows: Doris Jones as adult education tran-sitions coordinator/counselor, Annette Klinger as adult edu-cation instructor and secretary, Michael Miller, Debbie Vend-erley and Jourdan Tomlinson. The next meeting will be at 7 p.m. Aug. 6.

Oakwood Arbor learns about life insurance OAKWOOD – Oakwood Arbor #759 held its monthly meeting at the Twin Oaks fel-lowship hall on June 25. Fif-teen members were present for the meeting. Secretary Bonnie Pier brought the group up to date on the activities and Arbor proj-ects from the previous month. Ohio Department of Natural Resources from Maumee held a water safety class for kayak and canoe training at the Shaf-fer residence June 6. Delegates to the October convention were nominated. John and Bonnie Pier, Helen Maddock and Mary Schaeffer will attend representing Oak-wood Arbor. Thank you notes were re-ceived from Staci Miller of Paulding Soil and Water for the Arbor donation to the Camp Palmer Envirothon, and also from Boy Scout Troop #19 for helping with the Buckeye Trail cleanup. Arbor members also spent an evening at The Laurels in Defiance with the residents to fulfill one of their 24 require-ments for the year. Several members read to the kindergarten, first and second graders at Oakwood School during Right to Read Week and ice cream sundaes were provided to the third graders for the program they gave for Memorial Day. Another Arbor requirement is to have someone speak on

the purpose and importance of having life insurance. John Manz of Manz Account-ing was present to explain this program. He stressed the importance of having a life insurance policy. Thirty-nine percent of men do not have in-surance, 43 percent of women do not have life insurance and over 65 percent of all people are underinsured. Manz used the word DIMES to describe the importance of having life insurance: “D” is for death. The cost of a funeral is variable depend-ing on the choices of the fam-ily. An average funeral costs around $10,000. “I” is for the income for the family that remains. How will they survive especially if the one who was the breadwinner is now gone? “M” is for the mortgage left on the house or the debt that is left behind. “E” is the education for the children that are in the family. “S” is for the special needs of a family member who can-not take care of themselves. Oakwood Arbor will be sponsoring a Red Cross blood-mobile on Aug. 6 at the John Paulding Historical Society on Fairgrounds Drive in Paulding. Hours will be noon-6 p.m. The July meeting will be July 27 at the Twin Oaks fel-lowship hall. The 7 p.m. meet-ing will include a discussion on wills and estate planning.
