a host of other solutions, said Slusher.
Again, someone from the crowd
commented that signs, stripes on
roads, or warning lights are not the an-
swer; to fix the problem you have to
add overpasses and possibly close or
change some of the county road inter-
sections.
After hearing from the public for 90
minutes, Slusher conceded to the con-
cerned citizens that he didnt know
what to say. And with a sense of pas-
sion, one spoke from the middle of the
crowd asking Slusher to be their advo-
cate and to go to Columbus and fight
for overpasses. And while Slusher was
not convincing to his audience, he did
say he and ODOT would take into
consideration all the suggestions that
were made.
By JOE SHOUSE
Progress Staff Writer
PAULDING On a very emotional
evening Thursday, Aug. 7, the Ohio
Department of Transportation con-
ducted an open forum at the OSU
Extension Office in Paulding to dis-
cuss U.S. 24 and the accident rate
along the 19-mile stretch of highway
in Paulding County.
The meeting was led by Kirk
Slusher, ODOT District 1 deputy di-
rector along with Ohio State Highway
Patrol Sergeant Shawn Cook. Nearly
60 people attended the two-hour pres-
entation, including family and friends
of those who have lost lives in recent
accidents on U.S. 24.
The front row contained several
framed photos of the deceased.
The first 15 minutes were dedicated
to Slusher, who shared statistics con-
cerning U.S. 24 as compared to U.S.
30, U.S. 23 and Ohio 15 with similar
corridors and at-grade intersections.
On U.S. 24 (at-grade intersections) in
Paulding County, since 2010, there
have been seven fatalities, 13 injuries
and four accidents with property dam-
age only.
The reason we are here is to talk
about the intersections on U.S. 24. I
travel U.S. 24 and I cross it. I am fa-
miliar with it and we want to hear
from you concerning how we can
make it safer, said Slusher. For some
unknown reason we are having a large
number of accidents and we want to
try and figure out why and what we
can do about it.
Sergeant Cook shared with the audi-
ence about investigating accidents and
defining and determining a hazardous
area and then working to solve the
problem area with local authorities.
Cook offered several reasons why ac-
cidents are high along the U.S. 24 cor-
ridor in Paulding County.
One reason could be that people
are driving on four-lane highways for
the first time. Its in the median where
the problems are occurring. We are
hearing from people who say they did-
nt think they could stop in the median
and so they travel across U.S. 24 in
one shot, said Cook.
One suggestion that Cook (and later
Slusher) made was how to educate
those who travel the four-lane high-
way. This did not sit well with many
who were in attendance. Several
spoke up and said they were offended
by the education remark. They
brought to the attention of Cook and
Slusher that driving on a four-lane
highway was not new to them. They
had driven to Fort Wayne and Toledo
before.
Cook retracted his remarks and said
he was not questioning their education
or their intellect, but that understand-
ing how to traverse the median is very
important.
One crowd member asked how do
you educate. Look around, there is a
good crowd here tonight, but when it
comes to education, how do you do
that? How do you educate a truck driv-
er from another state who is speeding
down U.S. 24 in the fog and causes a
fatal accident?
We have a fail to yield problem
and we need to educate the driver and
at the same time look at alternatives
such as new signage, warning signals,
possibly painted stripes on the roads or
Sixty people from around Paulding County attended the Ohio Department of Transportation sponsored forum featur-
ing Kirk Slusher, District 1 deputy director for ODOT and state patrol sergeant Shawn Cook. A discussion was held con-
cerning the high number of accidents along the 19-mile stretch of U.S. 24 at the various intersections in Paulding County.
Questions put forth by the
Progress staff to stars of the
TNT series Cold Justice
are answered below by Kelly
Siegler and Yolanda McClary
from the show. The local case
was featured Friday, Aug. 8 in
an episode titled Second
Thoughts.
QUESTION: What is
your opinion on how quick-
ly the case came to a conclu-
sion?
YOLANDA: I wish all
cases went to a grand jury so
fast!! With the overwhelming
amount of circumstantial evi-
dence, we all felt the case was
strong by the time we were
finished. The DA also agreed
with our findings and took it
to the grand jury in record
speed. Again, great job by the
Prosecutor Joe Burkard and
Paulding County Sheriffs
Office!
KELLY: Because of the
persistence, enthusiasm and
hard work of the Paulding
County S.O. and the
Prosecutor Joe Burkard, we
were able to move forward re-
markably quickly.
Q: What are your
thoughts on the arrest?
YOLANDA: Excited and re-
lieved for the S.O. and family.
KELLY: All of us are so ex-
cited when we hear that years
and years of hard work and in-
vestigation finally pay off as it
did when Steve Noffsinger
was finally arrested for what
happened to Alma so long ago.
Q: What was the pivotal
piece of evidence to bring
the spotlight on Steven
Noffsinger?
KELLY: The pivotal pieces
of evidence were all of the lit-
tle pieces of testimony that so
many people of your county
were willing to come forward
with because they remem-
bered and because they chose
to tell the truth and get them-
selves involved.
Q: Had the arrest altered
Fridays show at all; and if
so, how?
KELLY: The fact that
Steve Noffsinger was finally
arrested and held account-
able for what he did to Alma
brings nothing but satisfac-
tion to anyone who cares
about justice and about what
has happened to Almas fam-
ily for all of these years of
having to live without her.
You should be PROUD of
your sheriffs office and
your prosecutor.

One injured
in rollover
crash
ANTWERP The Ohio
State Highway Patrols Van
Wert Post is investigating a se-
rious injury crash Thursday
evening on County Road 424
near Antwerp.
The incident occurred at 8
p.m. Aug. 7 near Township
Road 43 in Carryall Township.
Troopers said a 2004 Chevy
Trailblazer driven by John Tuto,
age 34, Antwerp, was west-
bound on 424 and drove off the
right side of the road. Tuto then
overcorrected and slid off the
left side of the road. He then
struck a driveway and over-
turned multiple times before the
vehicle came to rest on its top.
Tuto was taken via
Samaritan Life Flight to
Parkview Regional Medical
Center.
Tuto was wearing his seat-
belt. Alcohol is not believed to
be a factor. The crash remains
under investigation.
Troopers were assisted on
scene by Paulding County
Sheriffs Office and Antwerp
Fire Department and EMS.

By DENISE GEBERS
PAULDING Accused
killer Steven G. Noffsinger
is being held without bond
following arraignment in
Paulding County Common
Pleas Court.
His attorney entered not
guilty pleas to the charge of
aggravated murder, an un-
classified felony, and to the
specification alleging prior
calculation and design of the
crime, in open court
Thursday afternoon, Aug. 7.
A pretrial conference was
set for Sept. 15. The defense
was given 15 days to attack
any insufficiencies in the in-
dictment, which alleges
Noffsinger purposefully and
with prior calculation and
design caused the death of
his ex-wife, Alma
Noffsinger.
The 29-year-old mother of
three was found dead in her
Oakwood home on Dec. 17,
1981. The corner ruled her
death to be from blunt force
injuries to the head.
Judge Tiffany Reighter-
Beckman ordered the defen-
dant held without bond at
present.
She noted if the specifica-
tion of premeditation is
proven, Noffsinger could re-
ceive a death sentence.
Noffsinger, 58, of
Defiance, appeared to be in
severe pain during the pro-
ceedings, which lasted less
than half an hour. He
claimed trouble with a herni-
ated disc, shifting frequently
in his seat and audibly
groaning. His discomfort
was to the degree Judge
Beckman asked if he would
be more comfortable stand-
ing.
Q: Are you considering
any other unsolved cases
here?
KELLY: Not at this time,
but we would love to come
back to your county.
Q: What was it like work-
ing with our Paulding
County people?
YOLANDA: Paulding
County is a great county! All
the people were very friendly
and most of all, no one has
Prior to the 90-minute
question-and-answer ses-
sion, Slusher pointed out the
following observations con-
cerning accidents since
2010:
Frequency of accidents
along U.S. 24 is consistent
with similar corridors with
at-grade intersections such
as U.S. 30, U.S. 23 and Ohio
15; however, the frequency
of fatalities is higher than
similar corridors.
Overwhelming majority
of accidents are occurring on
the far side of the divided
highway.
Age of driver appears to
be a factor. Many involved
have been over 60 years of
age and under 25.
Majority of the drivers
are local to the area.
Majority of the accidents
are occurring at County
Roads 143, 133, 115 and 87.
Concentration of acci-
dents is not at the intersec-
tions with the highest traffic
volumes.
Since the relocation and
expansion of U.S. 24, the
overall accident rate has
been decreased by 74 per-
cent.

Annual YFC auction offers
cars, boats, antiques
27th auction to benefit Youth for Christ ministries
By JOE SHOUSE
Feature Writer
The Defiance Area Youth
for Christ (YFC) will host
their 27th annual auction on
Saturday, Aug. 16 at the
Extension building located
on the Paulding County fair-
grounds. The annual fund
raiser is the organizations
biggest social event of the
year and this year promises
to be the best ever. Two
years ago, YFC raised
$55,000 and last year
$57,000 marked the total for
the auction.
At 9 a.m. on Saturday the
bake sale will open up the
days festivities. A great time
to select some of the best
baked sweets and a cup of
coffee for a freewill offering
will be prior to the 9:30 auc-
tion. Later in the day other
food items will also be made
available including rib eye,
brats and whole hog sausage
sandwiches.
The auction will feature
several big ticket items in-
cluding three automobiles,
mowers, 14-foot canoe, Ohio
State memorabilia including
tickets to all the home foot-
ball games this season.
We are excited about this
auction. The automobiles
were donated by Jim
Schmidt, Bob Estle and
longtime supporter of YFC,
Brenda Woody, said YFC
Paulding County director
Doug Roop.
Many of the OSU items
are autographed. Some of
the pricier items to be auc-
tioned include a Cub Cadet
RTZ zero-turn riding mower,
self- propelled lawn mower,
14-foot Old Town canoe and
a laptop computer. New this
year will be several vintage
and antique items including
a 1920s Hartmann steamer
trunk.
During the auction, Roop
indicated there will be a
storytelling time when
monies will be raised by bid-
ding various amounts and
proceeds given to various
kids programs within the
YFC program. In addition to
the traditional auction will
be a silent auction featured
in the air conditioned
Extension building. Several
tables will display some 150
items. Bidding on each
group of items will last just
20 minutes.
As in the past, longtime
YFC supporter and auction-
eer Maurie Wannemacher
will call the auction.
Wannemacher called the first
auction 27 years ago and will
be behind the mike again
for his 27th YFC auction.
Joining Maurie will be two
crew member assistants, Jeff
Strahley and Kevin Anspach.
Maurie is the only one
who has ever done our auc-
tion and he has always done
a great job. I appreciate his
support, generosity and un-
selfishness over the years,
Roop said.
On Friday, Aug. 15 from
noon-7 p.m. the Extension
building will be open to re-
ceive additional donations
and from 4-7 p.m. potential
buyers will have the oppor-
tunity to test drive the vehi-
cles and peruse the other
items.
The is a great day and it
not only gives the opportuni-
ty to raise money for YFC
but we get to meet and greet
our donors and personally
thank them for their sup-
port, said Roop.
The Defiance Area YFC
ministry includes Campus
Life/Junior Varsity, small
group ministries, student
leadership, True Love Waits,
teen basketball outreach,
wilderness ministry, parent
life, juvenile justice ministry,
local school Bible studies,
youth guidance ministry and
three area teen centers.

It would be diffcult to get
much more perfect summer
weather than what we have
been experiencing. Last
night we had a nice rain that
cut the humidity and cooled
everything and everyone off
once more.
My 16-year-old sister,
Mary Grace, who lives next
door is here helping me for the
day. We are doing cleaning
in preparation for Daniels
family from Danville, Ohio
who plan to come for a visit
this weekend. Were excited
to see them again. We also
did some cooking today.
With mashed potatoes being
one of Daniels favorite hot
dishes, we made a huge batch.
Then divided it into small
containers to be frozen. Its
very handy to thaw and heat
at a moments notice.
Our 2-1/2 year old daughter
Julia is in her glory. Mary
Grace helped her bake
caramel apple cupcakes and
now theyre working on her
favorite part which is, of
course, putting sprinkles on
top of the frosting.
On Monday morning after
doing the laundry I checked
the sweet corn and found it
to be golden yellow, ready
for harvest. Obviously the
coon had discovered the same
thing the night before but it
fortunately hadnt done a lot
of damage yet.
Have you ever heard of
husking corn right on the
stalk? This simplifes the task
and saves a lot of time. With
both hands, frmly grasp the
husk on top of the ear then put
it down to the base of the cob
and snap it off. After doing
several with this method you
wont want to go back to the
old way of picking everything
then husking it all.
Earlier this morning on my
walk I noticed Dad picking
corn in their patch. I talked
with Mom and found out
they have lots of corn that
needs to be done. I took our
corn down to her house. We
pooled everything together,
it makes the task so much
more fun when working with
others. She had a good set-up
in her back yard where we
washed, blanched and cut the
corn from the cobs. Their set
of three burners, attached to
a propane tank had the corn
boiling in no time!
Heres a tip for simplifying
t he cooki ng process,
especially if you have mega
amounts of corn: use an old
pillowcase or make your own
sack, put 20-30 ears of corn
in it and submerge in boiling
water. Hold the top part of
the sack up out of the canner,
place lid on top and fip the
remaining part over the lid.
When ready to remove the
corn from the canner, instead
of doing it piece by piece,
grasp the sack and lift it all
out at once. Dump the corn
into cold water and proceed
like you generally do.
This morning at the crack
of dawn my husband Daniel
was up and ready to tackle our
new project. Hes starting to
build a deck behind our house
trailer which Im very excited
about. With living in a mobile
home we have limited space,
hopefully this will add a new
dimension to it.
Next year wed like to build
a roof over it and have part of
it screened in. Itll be a nice
place to eat supper on hot
summer evenings. I also look
forward to doing some of my
canning out there as well.
I decided Daniel deserves a
special treat with all the hard
work hes doing so I made
chocolate coffee smoothies
for him. They are always
refreshing, especially on
summer days.
I will include our recipe
in case some of you may be
interested in trying it. After
experimenting this is what
we came up with. We use
maple syrup as our sweetener.
My brother, Micah, taps
maple trees and cooks large
quantities of syrup, so we
always have an ample supply
of it. Perhaps I can fll you
in on more details in a future
column.
Sugar may be replaced
with maple syrup if desired.
Also for those of you who are
peanut butter lovers like me
you may want to add a dab of
peanut butter
CHOCOLATE
COFFEE SMOOTHIES
3 cups ice cubes or frozen
milk chunks
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup maple syrup
2 teaspoons instant coffee
1 tablespoon chocolate syrup
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Put everything in a hand-
cranked or electric blender
and blend until smooth. Pour
into glasses, top with a dab
of whipped cream if desired.
Enjoy!

Studies continue on
the effects of atrazine
By Mark Holtsberry
Education specialist
Paulding SWCD
One of the most widely used
agricultural pesticides in the
United States, atrazine may
be applied before and after
planting to control broadleaf
and grassy weeds. It is used
primarily on corn, sorghum,
and sugar cane, and is applied
most heavily in the midwest.
Currently, an intensive
monitoring program to look for
atrazine residues in drinking
water from approximately
30 community water systems
(CWS) is ongoing. These
systems, located primarily in
the midwest, are among the
most vulnerable to atrazine
exposure.
Based on the review of
available scientific studies,
EPA determined in 2000,
that atrazine is not likely
to cause cancer in humans.
This determination was a
result of public participation,
available scientifc data, and
using the highest quality
decision-making personal in
this process. Groups involved
in the study included the
National Cancer Institute and
Agricultural Health Study
Group.
Studies have also concluded
that atrazine does not
adversely affect amphibian
development or growth.
These findings were based
on laboratory reviews and
feld studies in 2007. But the
EPA concluded that there
was suffcient information to
formulate a hypothesis that
atrazine exposure can affect
amphibian development.
However, t here was
insufficient information
to refute or confirm that
hypothesis, mainly because
of the limitations of the study
designs and uncertainties in
the data. My concerns are that
not enough data and samples
have been taken to make a true
thorough fnding. Studies on a
yearly basis as well as feld
work need to be assessed.
In 2007 and 2008 studies
indicated that approximately
75 percent of stream water
and about 40 percent of all
ground water samples from
agricultural areas tested in
an extensive United States
geological survey study
contained atrazine. The
Natural Resources Defense
Council found that the United
States EPAs inadequate
monitoring systems and
weak regulations have
compounded the problem,
allowing levels of atrazine
in watersheds and drinking
water to peak at extremely
high concentrations.
The most recent data
confirms that atrazine
continues to contaminate
watersheds and drinking
water. Atrazine was found
in 80 percent of drinking
water samples taken in 153
public water systems. With
detectable levels of atrazine,
and sixteen having an average
concentration above the level
that has been shown to harm
plants and wildlife.
State offcials say atrazine
contamination is mostly a
problem in public drinking
water systems that use surface
water from rivers and lakes,
but that it could be present
in well water particularly if
wells are in poor condition
or located in areas with
underground rock fgures that
allow shadow ground water to
seep deeper than it normally
would.
Most county health
departments collect a sample
upon request and sends it for
testing. The Paulding County
Health department will come
out on request to take a sample
of your water and check for
herbicides and pesticides. The
cost for the test in $200.
Under the Safe Drinking
Water Act (SDWA), the EPA
has determined that no more
than three parts per billion
of atrazine (as a running
average) may be present in
drinking water. Because it is
an average, high maximum
concentrations of atrazine
contamination during spring
runoff may not result in a
violation of the the standard
if the remainder of the
year has low or no atrazine
contamination.
The Natural Resources
Defense Council recommends
that consumers concerned
about atrazine contamination
in their water use a simple
and economical household
flter, such as one that fts on
the tap. There are also carbon
flters available for homes and
businesses that draw from
untreated wells, this according
to the federal EPA website.

Property Transfers Common Pleas
In My Opinion
Its about time
I think that we all have heard the phrase its about time
from someone that was frustrated about our actions or lack
of action. Most often these words are heard because someone
thinks we are fnally able to see it their way. Then why
wasnt the remark I am glad that you are fnally seeing it
my way? In my opinion our world is flled with phrases and
words concerning time that have been altered in a way that
gives them a new meaning.
The phrase its about
time isnt really about
knowing or asking the
time but often a term of
frustration that is connected
with a persons ability
or lack of ability to do
something. For example;
when someone is late we
would probably never say what we mean, youre late, the
meeting started 20 minutes ago, but instead we soften our
response by saying, Its about time, glad you could make
it.
Being late or tardy is something the world will not tolerate
and often will punish the repeat offender severely. Some
have lost jobs, failed tests, lost contracts and probably some
other losses because of their lack of their understanding of
time.
We face another frustration that is associated with the time
it takes to get various activities completed. I get frustrated
when I am on the phone and the person I am talking to says,
Hang on just a second; I have another call coming in on the
other line. That is so frustrating, frst of all the second is
not an accurate statement of the amount of time needed for a
person to take another call. It would have been more accurate
for the person to have said, Hang on a few minutes while I
take another call.
Sometimes when calling a business I am asked, How can
I direct your call? I reply by telling them the person I would
like to talk to and the reply is, I will connect you. Right
here I put the clock on them, how long will it actually be
before someone shuts off the elevator music and talks to me
again? And then after three minutes someone comes on the
line and says, Are you waiting for someone, havent they
answered yet, let me try that number again.
Its about time that I stop venting my frustration and do
something productive. I do hope to see you in church this
Sunday; we need to talk because we have something in
common. Who knows, we might even fnd time to complain
about something.

plans for our future in eggs and value-added
egg products.
The purchase will give Cooper Farms an
additional two million chicken egg-layers and
the ability to raise up to six million pullets, for
their own needs and outside customers. These
birds are raised by more than 40 farmers,
who will be joining Cooper Farms as contract
growers.
We are especially interested in the variety
of specialty egg layers we are gaining, said
Cooper. We see an opportunity to expand
those numbers as we gain more niche
customers
Cooper Farms will also acquire a feed mill,
Cooper Farms fourth, which will produce
approximately 400,000 tons of feed in 2015.
This mill will offer the ability to create
specialty feeds and accept specialty grains.
The equitys 75 team members have been
asked to stay on as members of the Cooper
Farms team as well. With these individuals,
Cooper Farms will employ nearly 1,700
people total throughout northwest and west
central Ohio.
We are gaining a wonderful group of
people with this acquisition, said Cooper.
They have a lot of years of experience and
dedication to the company, which will prove
instrumental in this transition and as we work
to create value-added egg products.
Cooper Farms has based their success upon
a value-added business model, in which they
create products that provide consumers with
quick and easy meal options.
Value-added products are something that
we focus on throughout our company, said
Cooper. For example, with meat, we provide
turkey burgers, cooked deli meat and sliced
meat.
The company plans to use this way of
thinking in their egg division as well. In
addition to the specialty egg portion of the
business, Cooper Farms wants to also focus
on other value-added products.
We see great potential in providing liquid
eggs and cooked egg products, said Cooper.
We are working on a partnership with an
Ohio-based company to purchase a new egg-
breaking plant which will add to our value
added egg product line.
This transition has been a goal of the
Cooper Farms team and family for many
years, making the acquisition a welcome and
exciting one for all involved.
We had been looking at a variety of egg-
related companies for the past few years in
an attempt to enhance our egg division, said
Cooper. We started seriously working on
purchasing Fort Recovery Equity this spring,
so we are excited to see it come to fruition.

Cooper Farms completes
biosecurity building
OAKWOOD Cooper
Farms is proud to announce
the completion of their
newest addition, a biosecurity
building. The structure will
aid the company in ensuring
the health of their animals in
the area.
Biosecurity is a set of
preventive measures designed
to greatly reduce the risk
of transmission bacteria or
pathogens in livestock and
poultry. The new Cooper
Farms Biosecurity Building
adds an additional level of
biosecurity for the companys
northern live animal division.
This building provides us
the ability to wash, sanitize
and heat dry vehicles that have
been at farms or have hauled
animals, before they are taken
to another animal location,
said Terry Wehrkamp,
Cooper Farms director of live
production.
The building houses both an
automatic truck wash bay with
can be used for tractor-trailers
and a manual wash bay, with a
drying in a separate building.
Feed trucks and managers
traveling between farms will be
able to go through the automatic
truck wash, which will fnish
the wash with a disinfectant.
While vehicles used for hauling
animals or moving litter will be
washed by hand in the manual
wash and then move on to the
drying shed.
The biosecurity center will
allow us to sanitize vehicles to
a level that we have never been
able to reach, prior to having this
equipment, said Wehrkamp.
This high level of sanitation
will help to keep pathogens and
disease organisms from riding
from one farm to another.
The drying shed heats the
vehicle and/or trailer to 160
degrees (F) and holds it there
for five minutes, destroying
any remaining bacteria or
organisms.
There are also eight showers
for the team members who
are washing vehicles and/
or traveling between farms.
This is similar to the Cooper
Farms breeding farms, which
have shower-in, shower-out
buildings.
Anyone who enters the
clean side of the building will
be required to shower when
entering the building and wear
company provided clothing on
the other side of the shower. All
the clothing will be washed and
dried on site.
We require our farm team
members to do this same thing
when entering or exiting our
farms, so it only makes sense
to have the showering portion
at our biosecurity building as
well, said Bud Koenig, Cooper
Farms facility maintenance
manager.
The hatchery and northern
live animal division is primarily
responsible for all of the laying
turkey hens and their eggs, and
sows who birth the piglets.
Once the poults (baby turkeys)
hatch and the piglets are
weaned, they are then moved to
one of Cooper Farms contract
family farms that help to care
for the animals.
Because such young
animals and their mothers are
being cared for and moved in
this division, it is of utmost
importance that nothing is
introduced that could make
them sick.
We have been researching
this concept for a couple years,
and are happy to have to have it
in place now, said Wehrkamp.
It is nice that the owners of our
company provide us with the
resources to do projects such as
this.

Plans for Payne Elementarys Blessings in a Bag program started last October. The program
is designed to offer weekend meals to students throughout the school year. Here, from left,
JoEllen Sisson of the Payne Ministerial Association, executive director Sonya Herber of United
Way of Paulding County, principal Jody Dunham of Payne Elementary and Kelsi Manz, a former
student from Paulding High School who spearheaded a similar program at PEVS, discuss
strategy in meeting their goals for the program.
Weekend meals a blessing
for Payne students
By JOE SHOUSE
PAYNE Like all schools,
Payne Elementary and its
students are gearing up
for another exciting year.
Students will be meeting
their new teacher, developing
new friends while deepening
friendships from past years.
However, learning in the
classroom is always a key
element for each student
while witnessing their
progress throughout the
year. This year, many of
the students at Payne will
have a better opportunity to
grow in their learning while
growing nutritionally thanks
to the generosity of several
community minded groups
who see the importance
between learning and
nutrition.
Blessings in a Bag is a new
program being offered at
Payne that will help students
with better nutrition on
weekends.
Students who are on the
reduced lunch or free lunch
program will be eligible
for Blessings in a Bag,
said Payne principal Jody
Dunham.
The program will allow
students who ft the criteria to
receive a bag on Friday that
will include food consistent to
two breakfasts, two lunches,
two dinners, two snacks and
two drinks. Students will be
required to return the bag
on the following Monday in
order to receive the blessing
bag the following Friday.
This program is being made
available due to the generosity
of several individuals
and groups. The blessing
bags have been donated
by Wal-Mart and much of
the manpower is coming
from the Payne Ministerial
Association.
The pastors and clergy
leaders from the Payne
Ministerial Association will
be picking up the food from
the West Ohio Food Bank in
Lima and delivering it to the
school. They will also help
pack the individual bags,
said Dunham.
Also supporting the
program are the Paulding
County United Way and
Youth For Christ.
In order to start this
program we received seed
money; however, we will
continue to seek donations
throughout the year, said
Dunham.
A blessing bag flled with
weekend meals costs $3.50
and Dunham hopes to provide
the weekend meals for 32
weeks. The total cost for one
student is $112. Anyone who
would like to donate to the
program is encouraged to
send a check payable to the
Paulding County United Way,
101 E. Perry St. in Paulding in
care of WTPE Blessings in a
Bag.
Sponsorship and donations
are very important in order
for this program to continue.
United Way is a 501c3
organization that is able to
provide charitable donation
receipts for IRS purposes for
donations that are a minimum
of $250.
Research shows better
nutrition produces better
reading skills, test scores as
well as better attendance. Our
staff cares about our students.
We see families working hard
trying to make ends meet.
Some parents are working
two or three jobs. We feel this
is a way we can help support
them. Its a real blessing not
only for the students and
families but the teachers are
also blessed by helping meet
this need, said Dunham.
St udent s at Payne
El ement ar y, ent er i ng
kindergarten through grade
six will receive a permission
form detailing the program.
The application will need to be
returned by Sept. 8.
This is an excellent
opportunity for our students and
we want parents to understand
that distribution of the bags will
be done respectfully and in the
best interest of the student,
said Dunham.
Mabis uses trick of magic
to convey Christian message
By JIM LANGHAM
Feature Writer
PAYNE The podium at
the front of St. Pauls United
Methodist Church in Payne
said it all Magic is just an
illusion.
Payne resident Tim
Mabis originally utilized
various visual aid tools to
communicate gospel stories
to a childrens Sunday School
class. Then he was asked to
teach an adult class. In time,
the concept of Christian
magic became a part of his
illustrative repertoire.
The idea of magic is no
stranger to Mabis family.
His uncle, Ron Mabis, who,
like Tim, is from Payne, has
been a professional magician
his entire life, doing shows
in front of large audiences
nationwide.
Rons professional name
has been Ron London, a
name he developed while
broadcasting Beatles music
over the radio early in his
career. He then carried over
that name to his professional
career when he started doing
magic shows.
Mabis said that his growth
in his relationship with Christ
actually began during a very
diffcult time in his life. In
April 2002, his father had a
serious heart attack. In the last
weekend of May, which was
Trinity Sunday, Mabis was
asked to illustrate his slight of
hand to give a spiritual lesson.
That was Trinity Sunday.
I called my uncle and asked
him if I could link rings into
three to illustrate the Trinity,
said Mabis. He said that he
didnt see why I couldnt. In
the end, I put on a whole show
that Sunday.
Since then, Mabis has done
over 250 shows, including
many for Upwards Sports
programs and in all types of
church denominations.
Mabis noted that his key
to learning Christian magic
came when he attended a
large convention in Marion,
Ind. at his uncles invitation.
During that time, he roomed
with his uncle and several of
his professional friends.
He told me that there were
two ways to do a magical
show. One was to outright do
magic using tools; the other
was to know what to say. The
last part was diffcult for me
for awhile, said Mabis.
As you can see, that has
changed, said Mabis, who
completed a one-hour show at
the Payne church.
Mabis noted that there was
a period many years ago when
he went through some very
diffcult times. He was working
at the K-Mart Distribution
Center in Fort Wayne. They
closed, so he started working
in Detroit and driving back and
forth on weekends.
I couldnt handle all of
that. I didnt eat and I couldnt
sleep, observed Mabis. One
day when I was traveling to
Detroit on old U.S. 24, there
were 20 minutes I couldnt
account for. Thats when I
realized that I really needed
to get my life straightened out
with God.
It is all through the Holy
Spirit. Its very hard for me
to talk in front of people,
Jim Langham/Paulding County Progress
Tim Mabis, of Payne, utilizes magic to illustrate lessons from
the Bible.
continued Mabis. The fourth
show I did, I had over 700
people in front of me. It is not
me, it is God working through
me.
I always say a quick prayer
before I perform, added
Mabis. I pray, Let me speak
the words these people need
to hear. I dont care if Im
speaking to six or 700 people.
Its all up to Gods Word.
Mabis returned to college to
receive a degree in computer
work. For the past 21 years
he has worked at PHD near
the Fort Wayne International
Airport.
God will separate our sins
as far as the east is from the
west and set us free, said
Mabis during a trick. Jesus
said we always have troubles
in the world, but He has
overcome the world.
The part I like the most is
seeing the peoples faces light
up during the trick, Mabis
said. A couple of kids came
up and told me that something
I did many years ago had
touched their lives and they
still remembered it. Thats
what its all about. I do it all
for the glory of God.

Aug. 10, a date forever
implanted on my heart
Sunday, Aug. 10, was a day
flled with memories about a 4
foot, 11 inch angel that never
weighed 100 pounds in her
life time.
Grandma Cook, known to
many in our family as Aunt
Maggie, was a fxture in my
life from the day I was born.
Born Magdalena Hirschy, two
generations from her native
land of Switzerland, she was
part of our generational
family that I cherish to this
day.
It was a different world that
she was born into in Adams
County, Ind., in 1886, one
in which land was just being
cleared for farming, World
War I was 30 years away
and the Great Depression,
World War II and the Korean
Confict still many years into
the future.
It was a tough world
for Grandma. She lost her
husband, a barn builder, early
and did all she could to create
a team atmosphere to raise
six children, three of which
passed before she did.
Many things are still a part
of my life these days that are
footprints of her infuence on
my heart, even though she has
been gone now for 43 years.
I still plant zinnias every
year in the family garden,
now shared with daughter,
Julie. Awesome pictures exist
of little Grandma standing
with a hoe in her flower
beds filled with state fair
zinnias, marigolds, petunias,
snapdragons, cone flowers,
irises, peonies, glads and
many other beautiful fowers.
We still lived off the land
in my childhood; we had our
own truck patch, fruit trees
everywhere, strawberries,
grapes and other foundation
foods of health.
But it was the time that
Grandma would take to
spend with her grandson in
the evening that still brings
tender memories. We would
cut pictures out of magazines,
paste them in scrapbooks and
make our own storybooks.
Then we would tell each
other the stories we made
up, creating a knack toward
creativity in my young mind.
We would assemble
Lincoln logs, toy brick houses
and learn to plant and water
house plants. In the kitchen,
I would help Grandma and
my mother bake cookies, mix
supper dishes and help with
food preservation days.
She taught me how to card
wool, cut quilt blocks and
weave pot holders which I
sold for 25 cents apiece or two
for 50 cents.
When friends her age would
visit, I would get the true feel
of her Swiss background
because they would often visit
in Swiss, something that made
me laugh until tears ran down
my cheeks.
But it was the time
surrounding her passing, Nov.
7, 1971, when she left her true
character to a grandson who
had just married and was in
his frst church as a pastor.
Ironically, the day that she
passed was the day of my
frst baptisms, nine of them
on a Sunday evening in the
baptistery at Grace Missionary
Church in Celina. Several
days before that, she had been
stricken with a stroke and was
in Adams County Hospital in
critical condition the night of
those baptisms.
Tears flled my eyes as I
drove from Decatur to Celina
for the sacred service. But
in class-act style, Grandma
waited until I returned and
passed away an hour later.
When I walked into her
hospital room, she tried to
reach for me and she said,
Ive waited 30 years for
this. It had been 30 years
since my grandpa had passed.
That seemed like a long
time then. And now here I
am, 43 years since she uttered
those touching words to me,
thinking how fast time passes
and remembering her favorite
gospel hymn, In the sweet by
and by, we will meet on that
beautiful shore.
FIRE DAMAGES APARTMENTS, BUSINESS Tuesday night, Aug. 5, Antwerp Fire Department
responded to an apartment fre on Main Street in downtown Antwerp. Paulding County Red Cross
provided assistance to two families residing on the second foor who were impacted by the fre.
The Oasis Bar & Grill, on the frst foor, sustained damage and is temporarily closed while repairs
are made. Two additional fre departments provided mutual aid.
DRIVE 4UR COMMUNITY During the Paulding County Fair
in June, Integrity Ford of Paulding held a Drive 4UR Community
event. For every free test drive taken, Ford Motor Company
contributed toward the Paulding County Agricultural Society.
Here, Rick Greear (left) presents a $2,180 donation to fair board

Mayfower Society
enjoys summer picnic
GRAND RAPIDS The Toledo Colony of the Mayfower
Society met for their summer picnic at Mary Jane Thurston
Park near Ludwig Mills on the Miami-Erie Canal on July 12.
Focus of the meeting was review of the groups objectives,
which are to maintain and defend principals of civil and
religious liberties as set forth in the Mayfower Compact,
which was read by those present. While seeking to maintain
the ideals and institutions of freedom, members also oppose
theories and actions that threaten continuity of the same.
Following a carry-in lunch, attendees played games from
the early 1600s that Pilgrim children would have played.
Additionally, they played two Wampanoag Indian games.
Finally, matching games about the Pilgrims and their era were
conducted.
Following the meeting, members took a canal boat ride and
perused the shops in town.
Next meeting will be Nov. 22 at the Holiday Inn French
Quarter in Perrysburg. Dr. Mark Kalthoff of Hillsdale College
will discuss the Mayfower Compact and two other documents
from the very early colonial period.
Anyone directly descended from a signer of the Mayfower
Compact is eligible for membership of this group. Questions
may be directed to Susan Fisher, lt. gov. of the Toledo Colony
at 517-238-5302 or locally to Caroline Zimmerman at 419-
258-2222.

This years Paulding County Hospital Foundation Strides for Scholarships 5K will beneft the Bargain Bin building fund as well
as raise money for student scholarships. Here, race coordinator Melanie Rittenour, Bargain Bin president Rhonda Smalley and
Bargain Bin volunteer Rosie Munger show the bikes to be raffed off the day of the race.
PCH Foundation, Bargain
Bin partner in 5K event
PAULDING The annual Paulding
County Hospital Foundation Strides for
Scholarships 5K will be held on Sept. 6. This
year the foundation has decided to partner with
the Bargain Bin organization to contribute to
the building fund for their brand new building
to be located in downtown Paulding.
A portion of every entry will go to the
Bargain Bin building fund and a special kids
bike raffe has been organized to supplement
the funds. Tickets for the raffle can be
purchased at Paulding County Hospital or
at the Bargain Bin, where the bikes are on
display.
The Bargain Bin has been in existence
for many years, serving a dual purpose
of supplying low cost, gently used items
for people of Paulding County and
supporting Paulding County Hospital with
equipment, mostly for the rehabilitation
unit.
The current Bargain Bin building is
small, old and all areas are not readily
accessible to all of the volunteers. A
new building will be wonderful for
the volunteer organization and for the
community.
The 5K race is held annually to raise
funds for scholarships for local students
who seek a healthcare career. Over the past
16 years, since the foundation has been
in existence, over 50 Paulding County
students have received scholarship money.
Some of these graduates come back to
Paulding County to use their healthcare
education to take care of their friends and
neighbors.
To learn more about the race, go to
www.pauldingcountyhospital.com and
click on the Foundation menu at the top
for a downloadable race entry form or call
Melanie at 419-399-1127.

Dear Friends of the Paulding Exempted Village
Schools,
The 2014-2015 school year is just around the cor-
ner with opening day for students on August 25
th
.
The custodians and transportation staff have been
busy preparing the buildings and busses for the
upcoming school year and their hard work is ap-
preciated. Open house for all buildings will be
Thursday, August 21
st
. We invite everyone to
stop in, tour the buildings, meet new staff mem-
bers, as well as visit with returning staff.
Beginning with this school year, this district
newsletter will be published quarterly instead of
monthly as in the past. It will follow the 9 week
quarters of the school calendar, so please notice
the 3 month schedules listed. The principals will
have a monthly newsletter on the school website
at www.pauldingschools.org on their respective
home page.
Community support and communication is a vital
part of any successful school district, and I look
forward to working with our communities and stu-
dents again this year to continue strengthening the
education we provide at Paulding Exempted Vil-
lage Schools. Please feel free to contact me at
w_hanak@pauldingschools.org or 419-399-4656
ext 1510 if you have any questions or concerns
Thank you,
William D. Hanak, Superintendent

DELAY /CLOSING ANNOUNCEMENTS
School is delayed or closed for bad weather be-
cause of concern for student safety. The Superin-
tendent and Support Services Supervisor check
weather conditions every school morning. If fog
(which can develop late), snow or ice makes the
bus turnarounds and routes too dangerous, school
is delayed or closed.
The Paulding Exempted Village Schools use a
two-hour delay and three-hour delay, and then, if
necessary, close. The delay provides time for the
weather conditions to change. The Honeywell
Instant Alert System will be our primary method
of communication on school delays and cancella-
tions. The system is ready for you to use at
https://instantalert.honeywell.com. We encour-
age all of you to take advantage of this opportu-
nity, as we will be utilizing this system to contact
parents and students for most of our school-to-
home communication, including notification of
emergencies or early dismissals. The announce-
ment is also put on the website, switchboard an-
swering machine and area radio/TV stations. The
school website address is: pauldingschools.org.
The announcement is normally called into radio/
TV stations by 6:00 a.m., though fog can cause a
later call.

PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT
The No Child Left Behind Act encourages par-
ents to be actively involved in the education of
your child. All parents have the right to know the
teaching qualifications of their childs classroom
teacher. Information made be obtained by con-
tacting the principal in your childs building or by

or visit their website at http://www.ohiopirc.org/
index.php.

FIRST PLACE AT STATE FAIR The Wayne Trace cheerleaders competed at the Lincolnview Cheerleading Competition where
they took second place in the varsity division. The next day, they traveled to the Ohio State Fair, where they took frst place in the
small varsity division. They also were crowned grand champions with a score of 93%. Members of the squad are Ally Dunning, Kelsee
Rittenhouse, Mackenzie Swary, Jessica Offerle, Courtney Mead, Brooke Ludwig, Blair Ludwig, Gabby Gudakunst, Monique Goings,
Brooke Sinn and Alex Fast. They are coached by Christina Sinn, Chrissy Landrum and Kerry Gudakunst.
Ivan Woodard, a 1941 graduate of Payne High School, did the
unthinkable. At the age of 91, he participated in the Metro 5K run
sponsored by Metro Hospital on July 31 in Grand Rapids, Mich.
He completed the run in 49 minutes and that is two minutes
better than the 5K last year. He didnt win the race, but he was
awarded a medal for being the oldest person in the race.

MacKenzie Clark Howard, a 2000 graduate of Paulding High School, serves as an editorial
director at a leading Christian publishing group. Among her projects are country artist Josh
Turners new book and also Heaven Is for Real for Kids.
Local grad is editorial director for book publisher
By NANCY WHITAKER
Correspondent
NASHVILLE MacKenzie
Clark Howard was born
and raised in Paulding, the
daughter of Tommy and
Sandra Clark. MacKenzie is
a 2000 graduate of Paulding
High School. She graduated
from Mt. Vernon Nazarene
University in 2004.
In college, when she had to
decide on a major and fgure
what she wanted to do with
her life, she became interested
in Christian publishing.
Howard noted, Ive always
loved books and words
reading has always been
important in our family, and
my parents read to us from the
time we were very little. My
mom does a great job of being
intentional about encouraging
our interests and abilities,
and she mentioned that she
thought a career in writing
could be a good ft for me.
In her junior year, she got an
internship at a small Christian
publishing house in Kansas
City, and took her frst job
with them after graduation. It
was a wonderful experience,
she said, but she wanted to be
part of something that reached
more people, thinking that she
wanted to work on things that
would end up in stores in the
general market. Her desire
was to work on books that
could be easily picked up by
people who might not know
anything about Jesus.
Im not sure that thought
ever became a coherent
prayer, but I continue to
be amazed how God has
answered that desire many
times over, she said.
Currently she is the editorial
director for the gift and
childrens divisions at Thomas
Nelson. Thomas Nelson is part
of HarperCollins Christian
Publishing.
Howard commented, I
acquire new books and authors
and manage our title plans and
a team of editors. Together, we
create approximately 80 to 100
inspirational childrens and
gift books a year.
Thomas Nelson is a world-
leading publisher and provider
of Christian content and has
been providing readers with
quality inspirational product
for more than 200 years. As
part of HarperCollins Christian
Publishing Inc., the publishing
group provides multiple
formats of award-winning
Bibles, books, gift books,
childrens books, cookbooks,
curriculum and digital content,
with distribution of its products
in more than 100 countries.
Ive been able to work
with a lot of different authors
on some wonderful projects. I
sometimes work with authors
in an acquisitions capacity: I
write and pitch book proposals,
reach out to authors and agents,
and negotiate deals and help
foster relationships, but then
hand off the actual editing to
one of the editors, she said.
My job is a great blend of
creativity and business. I get to
be very hands-on in regard to
cover designs and illustrations
and helping authors craft their
words and messages down to
the last sentence, Howard
said, adding, We editors can
be a geeky bunch; we slave
over manuscripts, agonize
over our mistakes, and laugh
hysterically at comma jokes.
My role also allows me to
be involved in the business side
of publishing, and Ive been
surprised at how much I enjoy
budgets and spreadsheets and
the challenge of being fscally
responsible and successful
in an ever-changing feld and
market.
Since she went to work for
Thomas Nelson, Howard has
been able to work on books
like Heaven Is for Real for
Kids and the Jesus Calling
Bible Storybook.
Recently I was able to
publish country music artist
Josh Turners new book, Man
Stuff, about being a godly
husband and father.
Thomas Nelson regularly
publishes best-selling authors
including Sarah Young, Billy
Graham and Max Lucado, and
theyve all got some great new
products coming to the market
in the next year.
Howard went on, Weve
also recently added some new
faces to our lineup, and next
winter well release Duck
Commander Devotions for
Kids by Korie Robertson and
Chrys Howard, as well as
Brave Girls Bible Stories and
Words to Dream On, both
beautiful Bible storybooks, and
the 10th-anniversary edition of
Jesus Calling, a book that has
impacted countless people with
the hope and encouragement
of Christ.
I am somet i mes
overwhel med by t he
opportunity Ive been given,
and I consider it both a
huge privilege and a huge
responsibility, she said. I
hear statistics all the time about
how our culture is turning away
from God and about how my
generation in particular does
not attend church. Christians,
myself included, have often
misrepresented our God.
Even if unintentional,
we have hurt people or been
judgmental or not lived as we
should. And because we are
human, we will still always
make mistakes, but I will make
the most of this opportunity
for as long as possible to tell
people that Jesus loves them
He died for them, He has
a plan for them, and He has
a hope for them that will far
outlast this dark and painful
world, she added.
Im so grateful to my mom
and dad, who taught us to work
hard and dream big. I want to
continue to do both of those
things and make them proud.
Howard and her husband,
Joshua, live in Nashville with
their two dogs.
My goals are to love God
and my family, be a good
friend, become a mother,
write and create books, see
the world, save the orphans,
live an active life, tell as many
people as possible that Jesus
loves them, and if I have any
time left, Id really like to grow
a garden with more vegetables
than weeds.

In The
Garden
A crazy little thing called corn
Kylee Baumle/Paulding County Progress
Last year, we grew this heirloom fint/popcorn variety, Glass Gem. Yes, it really looks like that.
In spite of it being an heirloom variety, this is not your grandpas Indian corn. Google it!
Ah, August . That
bittersweet month thats still
lodged firmly in summer,
but is knocking at the door
of autumn. Im not going to
dwell on that though. Ive got
sweet corn to eat. Say August
to me, and thats what I think
of sweet corn, butter, weight
gain.
We grow corn well here in
Paulding County and summer
wouldnt be summer without
it. Before its ripe enough to
eat, I enjoy the smell of the
growing corn that permeates
the air on a warm, muggy
night. You notice that too,
dont you?
All corn is not created equal,
however. There are feld corn
and sweet corn varieties, of
course, but we can break it
down even further by looking
at the types of sweet corn
available for home gardeners
to grow.
Sweet corn is called sweet
because it contains more sugar
than regular feld corn. This
can be measured using a Brix
refractometer, which detects
the amount of carbohydrates
(sugars) in vegetables and
fruits.
There are several types of
sweet corn: normal sugar,
sugar enhanced, supersweet
and various combinations
of these. The Brix rating
can go from 10-35% sugar,
depending on which kind of
sweet corn it is. I dont know
about you, but the sweeter the
better!
You shouldnt grow sweet
corn within 150 feet or so
(500 feet is better) of feld
corn or popcorn, or you risk
cross-pollination, which can
create starchy tasting sweet
corn. Thats because corn
is pollinated mostly by the
wind and a little bit by way of
insects.
Thats also why its better
to grow several short rows of
sweet corn in a block rather
than a couple of long rows.
Youll have better pollination
that way. Did you know that
each silk on an ear of corn
corresponds to a kernel? Each
one has to be pollinated by
the pollen from the tassels
in order for each kernel to
develop properly.
Yes, that means the ear of
corn is female and the tassel is
male, and the corn plant is thus
monoecious, meaning they
have both male and female
parts on the same plant. Once
pollination has occurred, the
silk detaches from the kernel,
although they dont fall off the
ears at this point because of
the husks holding them there.
But you see sweet corn
growing along the edges of
feld corn all the time, right?
You can do that if there will
be at least 12 days between
the two of them silking (when
the silk emerges at the top of
the ear of corn). By paying
attention to their rates of
development and planting
accordingly, it reduces
the likelihood of cross-
pollination. This is done by
noting the maturity date on the
seed packet and/or staggering
the seed planting times.
I didnt always know this,
so maybe thats why some
years our sweet corn wasnt as
sweet as it had been in others,
even when we planted the
same varieties year-to-year.
The part of the garden where
we grow it is only about 20
feet from a feld that grows
corn every third year. Last
year, we also grew popcorn
right next to our sweet corn,
but the popcorn developed
enough later than the sweet
corn that neither was affected
much.
Heres another thing that
can affect favor. From the
moment sweet corn is picked,
it begins converting the
sugar to starch, so make sure
you either eat it when its
freshly picked, store it in the
refrigerator where taste can
normally be preserved for up
to fve days, or process it by
freezing or canning.
I think Ill just stop right
there before I get myself in
trouble with the farmers who
know far more about all this
than I do. If I already have,
I hope someone will set me
straight. But I do fnd this to
be extremely fascinating. I
hope you do too.
