Business future both good, bad for AntwerpBy JOE SHOUSE

Progress Staff Writer ANTWERP – The Antwerp VillageCouncil heard from citizens in the au-dience who brought both good and badnews to the overall economic structure

to the future of Antwerp. Updates on thenew re truck as well as the new garbagecollection routine was also addressed. On Monday, Paulding County Eco-nomic Development director Jerry Zielkeinformed council that local dentist Dr.Sarah Mowery plans to consolidate herPaulding ofce with the Antwerp ofceand will build a new facility in Antwerp. “She (Dr. Mowery) will close herofce in Paulding and will invest in anew facility in Antwerp. The total costof the property and ofce will be ap-

proximately $875,000,” said Zielke. Zielke approached council requesting a100 percent tax abatement for the project.After some brief discussion, CouncilmanLarry Ryan told Zielke that before com-ing to the council with the proposal, the

nance committee should be consulted. “Before we settle on this abatement,I think the nance committee needs tomeet and discuss what we will be givingup and what can possibly be gained bygiving the tax break,” said Ryan. A meeting is scheduled with Zielke andthe nance committee later this week. Also addressing the council was Con-nie Gaisford, store manager at the RiverStreet Market. Gaisford, who has beenmanager since the store opened two yearsago, shared with council how the store is

struggling to turn a prot and unless adrastic change takes place, it looks likethe store will close in the fall. “I come to the meeting tonight to seekinput on what everyone feels is the prob-lem, and if there is a problem that can be

xed, then I will do what I can to x it,”she said. Admitting that store prices are higherthan the chain stores, she also told councilthat she has lowered prices in six of thestore’s departments and cut hours. When asked how many the store em- ploys, Gaisford said she thought it is19. One council member remarked thata closure would be a huge hit for thecommunity. “We have lowered our margin asmuch as we can, and when we do that,

it obviously lowers our prots. We can’tgo any lower and stay in business,”Gaisford said. Mayor Tom Vanvlerah said that hehad not heard anything negative aboutthe store.

“The biggest concern is the high prices,” said Ryan. While that seems to be the biggest issue, everyone agreed thatthe meat department and the product of-fered in that department is high quality. Village resident Danny Gordon askedcouncil if there was any consideration tohaving farmers routes in order to keepvarious roads from crumbling apart. Gordon also reminded council as hedid a few months back on why the bus

County EMA, Red Cross

working hand-in-handBy JUDY WELLS

Feature Writer

With the arrival of spring comes the beginningof tornado season. While tornadoes can occur atany time of the year, the peak season in Ohio isfrom March through the rst week of July. Forthat reason, Paulding County’s EMA director,Edward Bohn, is planning ahead and getting prepared in the event of a worst-case scenario in thecounty. “I’ve been really busy since I was hired lastJune,” Ed says. “Right now, in addition to all theother things on my plate, my main focus is on se-curing funding for emergency generators and ongetting our shelter agreements updated with sev-eral different facilities in the county. And becausethe Red Cross has been so busy, I have an EMAvolunteer, Phil Wells, who has taken on the task of

updating the agreements. He’s doing an excellent job.”

Phil, who is also a volunteer for the AmericanRed Cross in Paulding County, has had experiencesetting up and managing a shelter. “Last year, the Red Cross held a full-scale mockdisaster,” he explains. “The scenario was thata tornado had gone through the county and hadoverturned several rail cars at the Mercer Land-mark (Latty facility) on 127 south of Paulding.In the exercise, a number of anhydrous ammonianurse tanks had been ruptured and a valve wasleaking on the 30,000-gallon storage tank. Therewere also several injured farmers and employeesat the scene.” Paulding County Hospital, Scott, Grover Hill,Judy Wells/Paulding County Progress

garage had not been cleaned outin order to store village-ownedequipment under roof and out ofthe elements. “I don’t understand why wecan’t get the bus garage cleanedout and keep our equipment in itinstead of having it all sit outsiderotting away,” said Gordon. Council agreed that the ga-rage needs cleaned out, but itseems that everyone is too busyat this time to do it. However,

they will take Gordon’s idea intoconsideration and hopefully getit cleaned out. Earl Peters was present at themeeting and voiced his concernabout the possible change thatcouncil is considering for theow of trafc on Archer Drive. “I don’t think it needs tochange. Anything else is notgoing to improve the situation,”he said. Council assured Peters that at

this time any changes to the traf-c ow has been tabled and thatno changes will take place anytime soon. Fire Chief Ray Friend reported the new re truck is inservice and ready to go. With thenew truck ready, the departmentnow has the task of selling theold 1989 diesel truck that is nolonger a part of the department’seet. “It’s got a clutch problem andit has 12,000 miles on it. We

need to sell it, but right now weare not sure of the value,” saidFriend. The new garbage collectionservice has started and seems to be going well. “It seems like it’s going greatand everyone that I have talkedto seems to be real happy withthe service, “ said Sara Keeran,village administrator. In other business, the councilunanimously passed the motionto have Summit Sweeping fromFort Wayne to do one sweep ofthe entire village. Every street inthe village will be swept and thegrit will be collected and movedto another location. The costof the sweep is not to exceed$2,500. A motion was passed unani-mously to allocate $3,500 to An-twerp Community DevelopmentCommittee (ACDC) to help as-sist the Antwerp Wrestling Clubin the purchase of wrestling matsthat has a total cost of $5,100. Police Chief George Clemensalso informed council he had purchased a body camera for$150 and hopes to purchase twomore at a later date.

Paulding Village Council

New waterlines and construction

starts for sewer separation projectBy SAMANTHA

HABERNCorrespondent

PAULDING – As PauldingVillage residents may havenoticed, construction for thesewer separation project has begun, with new waterlines being put in on North Wil-liams Street starting Monday,April 20. At its Monday meet-ing, village council asked thatcitizens “please be patient.” Residents near constructionshould have minimal – if any – water disruptions. During construction, nothrough truck routes are per-mitted. Trucks are required tostay out of town unless theyhave business here. State de-

tours are posted north andsouth of town. The council received anagreement between the Vil-lage of Paulding and thePaulding Exempted VillageSchools concerning the OhioDepartment of Transporta-tion (ODOT)’s Safe Routesto School project, scheduledto start in May and end in Au-gust. The agreement states thatcosts for the project go overthe funded amount ($24,279);the school district is to re-imburse the village up to$24,500. Council approved theagreement with one no votecast by Randy Daeger.

On June 1, permits to sell al-

Payne and Paulding re departments andPaulding EMS also participated in the exer-cise, as well as American Red Cross volun-teers from Paulding and Van Wert counties. In that scenario, Phil was the manager ofan emergency shelter, set up at the Churchof the Nazarene on Dooley Drive. “We had volunteers from Paulding,Allen and Van Wert counties helping, plusothers in Putnam and Deance countiesthat were on standby,” he says. “All in all,the exercise went quite well. Everythingran very smoothly.” A shelter is a place where displaced resi-dents can go in the event of a disaster, suchas a tornado, hazardous material spill orhigh-wind damage, until it is safe for themto return home. “If the temperature has been 100 degreesfor several days and the power goes out forsome reason, we’re able to set up coolingcenters, or warming centers in the win-ter,” Phil says. “We not only need to haveagreements with larger facilities, such asthe county schools, but we need the smaller buildings to use for our cooling and warm-ing centers. Or if a hazardous material spillshould happen and a specic area needs

to be evacuated, people need a safe placeto go until it’s cleaned up. With the EMAand Red Cross working together, it will bemuch more efcient and effective for ev-eryone.” In an emergency, the American RedCross manages the shelter and furnishescots, bedding and sometimes stuffed ani-mals and games for the kids. “Right now, our main focus is on havingadequate shelter facilities if the need arises,”Ed adds. “Many of the area churches havestepped up to offer their help, but very fewof them have back-up generators. That’swhy we’re working on getting funding forthose. Shelter meals are provided by eitherthe church where a facility is set up, a civicgroup, or by the Red Cross.” Ed says he’s currently working withC&Y Oil to provide a generator to have ameans of alternate back-up power for theirgas stations and convenience stores. “At least people will be able to ll uptheir gas tanks and buy some groceries,” Edexplains. “They may not have the varietyof foods that would be available at a largerstore, but they won’t starve. Usually whena major weather event takes place, every-

body pitches in and helps. It’s neighborshelping neighbors.” In his effort to update the shelter agree-ments, Phil says the cooperation has beennothing short of fantastic. “I’ve updated eight so far and have about25 that I’m waiting to hear back from. I’vehad nothing but positive feedback,” hesays. “Nearly all the pastors and school ad-ministrators are more than willing to takethe time to ll out the questionnaires andgive me the information I need. Pastor Jer-emy Thompson at the Church of the Naz-arene is more than willing to partner withthe Red Cross in setting up a shelter at thatlocation.” Each facility must meet certain require-ments to be used as a shelter. The amountof oor space, the number of restrooms,kitchen facilities and whether or not the building meets ADA requirements must all be taken into consideration. Those who would like to volunteer theirchurch, school or other facility to be usedas a shelter may call Phil Wells at 419-980-0044. To become a volunteer with the RedCross, call Bill Steinbrunner, disaster pro-gram manager, at 567-825-3349.

Dandelion salad season

Lovina’s family enjoys collecting dandelion greens to make freshsalad early in the spring.

A beautiful April springday! Sun is shining and themercury on the thermometerkeeps rising. I love this weath-er and all the signs that springis here. The tulips are lookingreally nice. Everyone here at the Eicherhouse is gone for the day ex-cept me. My husband Joe, sonBenjamin, and daughters Eliz-

abeth, Susan, and Verena areall at their jobs working. Thefour youngest are at school. It is too quiet with everyonegone except for Elizabeth’stwo Yorkie dogs, Crystal andIzzy. Right now they are bothsleeping. It takes me longer to getthings done without Verena’shelp. Yesterday I washed allthe laundry and it is surpris-ing how much longer it takesif you do it all alone. It was anice laundry day and the girlshelped me get the clothes inand fold them after they werehome from work. It goes somuch faster when everyonetakes their own clothes up totheir bedrooms. On Friday, son Benjaminwas in a two-vehicle accidenton his way home from helpingMose at his sawmill. We arethankful he wasn’t hurt andthe rest involved had only mi-nor injuries. It could have beensuch a different ending. Godtruly was watching over them.It reminds us how quickly lifecould change. We are enjoying dandelionsalad. I will share the recipethis week since we have quite afew new readers that might likethe recipe. We had to get back into theschool routine after the chil-dren were home for a week onspring break. Joseph, 12, milksour cow Bessie before he getsready for school in the morn-ings. He times himself on howlong it takes to milk her. He isgetting faster at it. He said hewants to milk her in eight to 10minutes like I can. I told him hehas to build his muscles up andhe should be able to. When we milked cowsat home, we had some thatmilked easy and some harder.Bessie is an easy cow to milk. I want to make butter fromthe cream this afternoon. Su-san brought a yogurt starterhome from Mose’s mother

Rosanna and tried her luck atmaking yogurt with Bessie’smilk. She tasted Rosanna’s

yogurt and really liked it whenshe was at their house. I nev-er made yogurt so hopefully Iwill learn now. Before I go on with mywork I want to answer someletters from my readers. It is a busy time of the year so please bear with me. I’ll try my bestto answer everyone. I owe a big thank you to myfriends Jim and Ruth. I live inMichigan and my mail goesto South Holland, Ill. Jim orRuth always delivers my mail.I really do appreciate the timethey take to do this. Also, thanks to Pauline forsending the box of books forthe girls. They were very ex-cited. You will receive a per-sonal reply from them. May God bless everyone

who has in some way helpedor encouraged me to keepwriting!

Volunteers help

get skate park

reopened for useDear Editor, The skate park at LaFoun-tain Park was reopened of-cially for Friday, April 17.

Wood under the steel runoff panels was replaced by MarkHoltsberry and his son, Na-than, along with padlockedclosing gates for when the park needs to be closed foradditional repairs in the future. New treated plywood wasreplaced by Robert Grubb and

Carol Cowell on many of the backs of the ramps, leavingslats open so that the rampscan completely dry out un-derneath from behind. Some

of the ramps have swollenwood from too much rain.Once the wood has complete-ly dried out, they will shrink back into their natural shape.In the meantime, some careshould be exercised on the part of skaters where the steeldoesn’t perfectly meet theSkatelite surface. One of the problems has been concerning the stone thatskirts the edges of the park.Somehow it always managesto end up on the ramps ornear the edges and spread allover the cement platform.This is extremely danger-ous and has to be constantlyswept up by the skaters toenable them to safely skate. This stone will be removedin the next few days but the park doesn’t have to be closed

for that repair. Again, skaters and otherswho frequent the park, pleasevalue and respect your park.There is a trash can … use it!Don’t wait for someone elseto keep the area clean. Thisis YOUR park … treat it assuch. Thank you to many vol-unteers who helped with thecleanup so the park could bereopened.

Supporting agritourism in Ohio As farmers head into theelds for spring planting, Iwant to shine some light on a piece of legislation that I haveintroduced which is designedto help the industry. Agritour-ism providers in Ohio are of-fering a great service to peoplein our state and from aroundthe world, and House Bill 80

is designed to protect these providers. The Ohio Farm Bu-reau Federation has declaredtheir support for the bill. HB 80 gives agritourism pro-viders a general immunity fromliability in a civil action forany harm a participant sustainsduring an agritourism activity,if the participant is harmed asa result of inherent risks associ-ated with the activity. This bill,should it become law, would protect Ohio’s farmers whoseek to educate the public aboutour number one industry with-out fear of unjustied litigation. It means a lot that the OhioFarm Bureau Federation has

stood to support this legis-

From The

State House

Rep. Tony Burkley

lation. The support of thisfederation of 87 county farm bureaus is a good indicationthat this bill is good for theagriculture industry in Ohio,as their mission is to forge a partnership between farmersand consumers. Advocatingfor Ohio’s farm families andhelping them in their businessis a priority of mine as well,and legislation that promotesagritourism and helps thefarmers who provide agritour-

ism activities is something I

will always support. Agriculture-related activi-ties that provide educational,historical, cultural or recre-ational value are the backboneof the agritourism industry inOhio, and ensuring Ohioansthe right to provide these ac-tivities to the public is a greatstep in helping this industry.

HB 80 is currently beingevaluated in the House Ag-riculture and Rural Develop-ment Committee, of which Iserve as the vice chairman.I hope to see this bill movethrough the legislative pro-cess so that we can start do-ing more to further the agri-tourism industry in Ohio, andcontinue helping Ohio’s farmfamilies in the 82nd districtand around the state. Rep. Burkley may be reachedby calling 614-644-5091,e-mailing Rep82@ohiohouse. gov or writing to State Rep-resentative Tony Burkley, 77South High Street, Columbus,

Some things I wonder about We as humans do a lot ofstrange things and some thingswe do just become habitual. IfI stop and think about someof the things I do and things Ithink about, I am sure it is notabnormal. There are just somesituations I wonder about.

For instance: sometimes I’lllook at the clock three con-secutive times and still not

know what time it is. I think itis just automatic that we lookat the time and ve minuteslater look again, especially ifyou want to get off of work orleave a meeting. Have you ever got into an ar-gument and in the middle of it,realized you were WRONG?Then you wonder why youargued in the rst place? Oh,no! That is a situation none ofus want to admit to, but it hap- pens. (And I am not about toadmit I am wrong.) Then have you ever won-dered why there isn’t a fonton the computer called “sar-casm?” This would be when I

want to say something funny but I actually mean it. I won-der exactly what a sarcasmfont would look like? Did you know that bad de-cisions do make good stories?Yes, bad decisions usuallydominate the new headlines.This is local, state and nationalnews. Stop and think about it. Here is another item I alwaysthink about. “Wouldn’t obitu-aries be a lot more interestingif they told how the persondied?” I know from looking atold news articles deaths weredescribed vividly. Of coursewith today’s privacy acts andmany laws, you probably couldnot reveal how a person died.This isn’t weird, we all wonderabout the details. Have you ever wonderedabout all the new technolo-gy? First we had records, then8-tracks, cassettes, CDs and

then DVDs. I am not evencaught up from the cassettesyet so I wonder if I shouldupdate my collection or waituntil the next new one? I notice that I tend to save a person’s cell phone number inmy own phone, just so I knownot to answer when they call.(Silly or not?) Then, why doesn’t a freez-er have a light in it? You dig

around in it trying to ndsomething and can’t see whatit is till you have it out. Youmay have been looking for asteak and found fruit. What doyou think? I don’t know why, but Ihave a hard time decipheringthe ne line between boredomand hunger. The key is not to become bored. I go look in therefrigerator a couple of timesand usually see that I have thesame food as before. Now,there are times I look, but I amnot hungry, so I close the doorand go back ve minutes later.Does anyone else do that or isit just me? Have you ever just not heardor understood what someonewas trying to say? I think Imay say, “what” at least threetimes, but when is it appropri-ate to just smile and nod yourhead and pretend you heard

them? Don’t you just love to seethe sense of camaraderie whenan entire line of cars team upto prevent a jerk from cuttingin at the front. Stay strong, brothers and sisters! Hang to-gether and don’t let that fool jump the line in front of us.

Then I wonder about chang-ing pants or jeans. Shirts get

dirty. Underwear gets dirty.Pants? Pants never get dirty,and you can wear them for-ever. I remember when weused to have a pair of pantsfor everyday and a pair towear when we went to town. Now, shirts, socks and under-wear gets changed everyday, Ithink. Now even under ideal con-ditions people have trouble lo-cating their car keys in a pock-et, nding their cell phone,and trying to pin the tail onthe donkey, but I wonder howeveryone can nd and pushthe snooze button from threefeet away, in about 1.7 sec-

onds, eyes closed, rst time,every time? I think the older Iget, the more things I wonderabout. We are truly a nation ofdiverse people and personali-ties, but do you ever wonderabout these type of things?

Now, here is one more thingto ponder: The rst athleticcup for hockey was used in1874 and the rst helmet wasused in 1974. Of course they were usedfor safety measures, but I am just wondering why the hel-met wasn’t rst. All we cando is speculate, but that an-swer is beyond me. We all ponder, think, won-der and speculate. What aresome of the things you won-der about? Is this just me let-ting my mind wonder aboutthese topics? Let me know andI’ll give you a Penny for YourThoughts.

Paulding SWCD All rst grade students in the county have orwill be receiving a Blue Spruce seedling to plantin honor of Earth Day. Paulding Soil and WaterConservation District donated over 300 trees tothe children. Students learned about the different parts ofa tree as well as what a tree needs to grow andsurvive which includes food, water and nutrients.They also learned about tree cookies and how the

growth rings of a tree help identify the age of the

tree. Students made their own tree cookies out of paper plates representing their ages if they werea live tree. The children then got transformed into treeswhere they played a game called “Every Tree forItself.” They were competing against each otherto grab their essential needs of food, water andnutrients in order to survive. After the presentation, each student received aBlue Spruce seedling with planting instructionsfor them to go home and plant with a loved one.The students really enjoyed learning about the

essential needs of trees and playing the game.
