Wind power suits county well
By DENISE GEBERS
Progress Staff Writer
PAULDING Representatives from
edp Renewables, operators of Timber
Road II wind farm in Paulding County,
visited the area Thursday. They took the
opportunity to talk with local and state
officials about energy opportunities in
the county.
According to Erin Bowser, director
of project management with edp, a new
phase is being considered for Paulding
and Harrison townships, Timber Road
III.
Chris Brooks, project manager, said
the expansion would be roughly 7,000
acres and include about 100 landowners.
Another 50-some turbines would be constructed for an output of 99 megawatts of
power.
This is comparable to Timber Road II,
which encompasses 8,000 acres and 55
turbines. Electrical outputs are similar.
We hope to start in a year or two,
said Bowser.
She indicated that edp Renewables is
reaching out to landowners and potential
power customers in anticipation of the
project.
We need to secure long-term contracts, she said. We are really excited
to expand.
A big effort to speak with landowners is under way, those who are currently
in or have been in leases with edp, according to Bowser.
Timber Road II has created eight fulltime positions in the countys operations
and maintenance office near Payne.
Bowser said an expansion would add to
that work force when complete, noting
that hundreds of jobs would be created
during the construction phase.
The reception in Paulding County is
great, enthused Bowser. It has accepted wind power, which works very well

Burkley co-sponsors bill to allow

wind turbine setback changes
By ED GEBERT
DHI Media
COLUMBUS A new bill introduced in the Ohio House of Representatives seeks to change wind turbine
setback regulations, which would enable
wind energy companies to work within
Ohio counties to license new wind farms.
The legislation, House Bill 190, is
co-sponsored by local representative Rep.
Tony Burkley along with Representative
See WIND FARM, page 2A Tim W. Brown (R - Bowling Green).
In early 2014, Ohio Gov. John Kasich

signed HB 483 which included revised
setback standards that essentially made
it unfeasible to build new wind farms
in Ohio. That signing came as Iberdrola Renewables was lobbying to build a
companion wind farm to its Blue Creek
Wind Farm, which opened in 2012. The
Blue Creek project has 152 2.0 megawatt
turbines operating on 100-meter towers.
The new bill would revise the law to
permit counties to adopt resolutions

EMS open house
PAULDING In appreciation of EMS week the

Paulding EMS will have an
open house at their station
on Saturday, May 16 from 9
a.m.-noon. During that time,
unused or unwanted medication may be turned in at the
station. There will be opportunity to get blood pressure
or blood sugar readings and
to meet some of the EMTs.
Applications will also be
available to anyone interested in becoming a future
EMT.

establishing an alternative setback for

wind farms and extend by five years the
deadlines to get the qualified energy project tax exemption. In the case of a wind
farm, that would move the date to qualify
for an exemption from the end of 2015 to
the end of 2020. For projects using clean
coal technology, advanced nuclear or
cogeneration technology it would be extended to the end of 2022.
House Bill 190 was introduced in the
Statehouse on May 6.

PAULDING Paulding
County farmers took advantage of a big opening in
spring weather the last two
weeks to take to the fields to
plant this summers crops.
Ohio State University extension advisor Sarah Noggle estimated (conservatively) that at least 60 percent
of the corn and 15 percent
of the county bean crop had
been planted by the first of
this week.
I know there are beans
out there but people have
been working mainly on
their corn crop, said Noggle this past Monday.
Noggle lauded area farmers for keeping mares tail
under control and said that
most agriculture experts
in the county had done a
good job of getting after the
weeds.
People come in and got
recommendations from us.
Were glad to do all that we
can to help, observed Noggle.
Noggle said that she
agrees with recent observations that this summer could

be warmer and drier than

what weve seen the past
couple of years. She noted a
rather cool spell is projected
for the end of this week, but
not enough to do any crop
damage.
The alfalfa in the county
is looking very good, said
Noggle. Any alfalfa weevil
seems to be under control.
Im sure its there but its
not close to any threshold.
As far as wheat goes,
where its good, its good,
and where its not, its not,
added Noggle.
Noggle noted that most
farmers in the county are
trying to stay in a crop location currently in spite of
the lowered corn prices. But
she believes that with the
bottom line tightened, overall there will be more beans
planted than usual.
Im sure farmers are
trying to keep rotation going the best they can, but
it costs a lot to put out corn
right now with less return,
Noggle said.
One of the things that
farmers are concerned about

Paulding Fire Dept. 5K fundraiser set

top runners.
Categories of competition

All proceeds will be used to
purchase equipment.
The fire station is located at
311 W. Wall St. in Paulding.
Refreshments will be available

Oops a Daisy
Most dogs like to chase things, and Daisy

is no exception. The black lab, owned by Fred
and Susan Pieper, was after a raccoon on
Sunday when the raccoon went into a drainage pipe. Daisy followed, but neither animal
came out the other end. Four fire trucks, dog
warden and sheriffs office responded; more
than a dozen people worked several hours to
rescue Daisy, who could be heard whimpering. Jeremy and Jessica Goyings brought a
backhoe to expose the pipe, which was cut,
and Daisy was coaxed backwards to escape.
She was so happy ... caked mud everywhere,
but so happy, said Susan. She would have
surely died if not for their efforts. We will forever be grateful. The raccoon escaped in
front of the crowd and took off. (Photos courtesy Con Shuherk, Paulding Fire Department)

II wind farm lies in Paulding
County. In its family of 34 wind
farms, the local wind farm is
small with some producing
over 400 megawatts of power.
A third farm, Timber Road
I, is stalled in its development
process.
AEP Electric headquartered
in Columbus is the off-taker
from Timber Road II. AEP is

one of the largest suppliers of
electricity in the country, according to Bowser.
After meeting with the county officials at the courthouse for
the ceremonial check presentation, the group took three guests
from JOBS Ohio on a tour of
the wind farm.
Bowser said a growing number of companies are interested
in moving to Ohio. They are
curious about the ability to take
advantage of renewable energy
here.
Last week, Rep. Tony Burkley co-sponsored a bill in the
Ohio House of Representatives
that would improve the climate

New colt delights Eichers

May is here already. It
seems as though 2015 just began and now we are already in
the month of May.
The first of May brought
some excitement here. Our
horse Itty Bit gave birth to a
little filly. She is all black, so
we named her Black Beauty.
Such a lively young foal! Itty
Bit is a very protective mother to the foal and it took some
time for her to let us get too
close to the foal.
The construction crew started building our pole barn this
morning. The poles are all set.
Daughter Verena didnt have
to work today so she made
chocolate chip bars and lemonade to serve to the men for
their break.
My rhubarb is ready to use
and I need to make rhubarb
custard pie. My husband Joe
always likes that.
Joe found out yesterday that
they will soon be working
nine hour days on Saturdays
for a while. This makes him
glad he hired help to put up the
pole barn and didnt attempt to
put it up himself.
Last week I bought the royal blue material that I need
to make a dress for nephew
Levis wedding next week. I
want to cut it out today and
start sewing on it. I was so
glad Verena could have the
day off to help with the other
work.
Our sympathy goes to Elizabeths special friend Timothy
and his extended family. His
grandpa died yesterday. The
funeral is planned for Friday
in northern Indiana.
We have radishes, peas, and
corn up in the garden. We also
have sweet onions planted. We
had a few rainy days so once
the garden dries off again we
would like to plant some more
of the garden. Our horseradish
plant is looking nice. We want
to make horseradish sauce. We
grind up the root real fine and
season it.
Son Kevin, 9, and Lovina
are enjoying their ducks and
amazed at how fast they are
growing. I havent been out
to the barn lately to see how
big they are. Kevin is getting
annoyed with our new rooster.
He said this rooster is starting
to get mean like the old one.
Thursday evening we will
go to the middle school orientation with daughter Lovina,
10. Lovina and her classmates
will present their career prep
portfolio exit interviews to
the parents. It doesnt seem
possible that number seven of
our eight children has reached
middle school level.
Saturday we attended the
annual consignment auction.
We sold our pony Tiger at the
auction. Susan really hated to
see him be sold but we have
too many ponies around. We
gave our miniature pony Minnie to Jacob and Emmas son
Steven. Lovina and Kevin are

almost too big for her. Susan is training Minnies colt

Prancer. She says he is easy
to train.
It looks like we need to get
the yard mowed. With the
rain, the grass is growing fast.
We are enjoying asparagus
fixed in different ways. Try it
in this recipe. God bless!
ASPARAGUS HAM
SWIRLS
16 fresh asparagus spears,
trimmed
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
16 slices fully cooked ham
16 slices processed Swiss
cheese
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup dry bread crumbs
cooking oil
In a skillet, cook asparagus
in a small amount of water
until tender-crisp, about six
to eight minutes; drain well.
Spread about one teaspoon of
mustard on each ham slice.
Top with one cheese slice.
Place one asparagus spear on
each piece of cheese (trim to
fit if needed). Roll up each ham

slice tightly; secure with three
toothpicks. Dip ham rolls in
egg, then in bread crumbs.
In skillet, heat one inch
of oil to 350. Fry rolls until
golden brown (about three to
four minutes). Drain on paper
towels; keep warm. Cut each
roll between the toothpicks
into three pieces.

Waiting on the late bloomers
Its such a beautiful time of
year, spring. So many things
are in full bloom and many
more are just beginning their
life cycles anew with buds and
foliage. But when the winter
has been especially brutal, as
ours were the past two years,
I just know that there will be
a plant or two (or three) that
were no match for the prolonged deep freezes.
There are those that will surprise me by their survival too
things that I wouldnt have expected to show up again, like
the new primroses I planted
in the middle of last summer,
when it was hotter than they
typically like.
Most anything that is newly
planted in my garden at that
point in the growing season
suffers from a bit of neglect
as my tolerance for babying
a plant isnt at its highest. It
seems that there are always so
many things in and out of the
garden vying for my attention
by then.
But when I took a garden
walk-through a few weeks
ago, there they were, Primula
veris Sunset Shades, sporting
deep green wrinkly rosettes of
foliage with flower stalks of
bright red-edged blooms.
Im pretty sure my newly-planted Agastache Trio
plants were not so lucky. Its
still a bit early for some things
and Im not shovel pruning
them just yet but Ive already
planted something else in between them. Thats how pessimistic I am regarding their
future.
Maybe youre thinking the
same, about particular plants
in your own garden. They arent showing signs of life yet
and you wonder if they ever
will. It took me a few years of
gardening to learn that not everything in the garden gets as
excited about springs arrival
as I do.
Even last year I would have
bet every single one of our
cats lives that the beautyberry
shrub (Callicarpa americana)
was a goner. Its a good thing
I didnt do that because we
wouldnt have any cats if I

CONTEST WINNER The Isaac Van Wart Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, named
its Good Citizen Essay Contest winner Blair Baumle, from Wayne Trace High School (center). Blair
was chosen as an outstanding representative for her qualities of dependability, service, leadership
and patriotism. Blair was presented the DAR Madonna of the Trail traveling trophy with her name
engraved on its base. The trophy will be kept at Wayne Trace High School this year. Blair and seven other seniors were chosen by their area high schools to participate in this contest: Samantha
Provines of Antwerp High School, Madison Mansfield of Continental High School, Courtney Trigg
of Crestview High School, Clarissa Clay of Lincolnview High School, Seth Rollins of Parkway High
School, Ellie Miller of Paulding High School, and Emily Bair of Van Wert High School. Each of these
students received a certificate and Good Citizens pin from DAR. Here, congratulating Blair on her
win are Wayne Trace guidance counselor Sarah Franz (left) and Gloria Fast, Good Citizen chairman.
The St. Johns wort (Hypericum spp.) shrub is one of the latest to
emerge in the spring, but the wait is worth it. Its yellow summer blooms
give way to waxy berries that are often used in floral arrangements.

had. It was simply one of those
late bloomers and went on
to have its best year yet.
Other plants that may not
be showing robust new growth
(or any growth at all) up to now
are butterfly weed and other
milkweeds (Asclepias), balloon flower (Platycodon), most
ferns, hardy plumbago (Ceratostigma), and Russian sage
(Perovskia).
Late shrubs and trees include
summersweet (Clethra), beech
(Fagus), sweet gum (Liquidambar), ash (Fraxinus), butterfly
bush (Buddleia), hardy hibiscus
and Rose of Sharon (Hibiscus
spp.), and St. Johns wort (Hypericum).
A shot of warm weather can
be all it takes to shake these
plants awake though and sometimes it seems as if you can
almost watch them growing as
they catch up to their bedmates.

Remember too, that a plant that
was newly planted the year before can be delayed in emerging
after its first winter.
Its interesting to note how the
timing of emergence of plants
interplays with other living
things. For example, you rarely
will see a monarch butterfly migrate this far north until mid- to
late May, when the late-emerging milkweed has appeared and
gotten some size to it. Monarchs
require it for raising their young.
No milkweed, no monarchs.

Sweets, limburger
cheese and peanuts
With spring weather comes
the pests. They march or fly
into our homes, attack our
sweets and tell their friends
about the goodies. Yes, I have
noticed a couple of pests in my
house already. They consist
so far of two ants, a fly and a
bee. It is too early for the mosquitos. Pesky ants, flies, mosquitos and bees can all play
havoc with a picnic and ruin
a barbecue or any event where
food is served. Of course we
dont like them in our homes
or even around our dwellings.
First of all, ants. I dont care
for them and most people look
at them as pests.
But also, ants are totally
amazing and deserve a little respect! Ants are tough as
nails. They can lift 50 times
their own weight, the equivalent of an adult human bench
pressing a full-sized sedan.
How is that for a tough ant?
Also, when ants fight, they
fight to the death! So if I were
an ant, I would be careful who
I picked a fight with.
Ants are feminists. Colonies are matriarchal, totally
controlled by a single queen.
And that lucky lady does all
the breeding. But thats not
where the girl power ends. All
the worker ants are female as
well. All those ants you see
going about their business in
your house, lifting and carrying heavy weights are all female. You go, girls!
Mosquitoes are another pest
that comes around to plague
us in the summer. For some
reason, mosquitoes dont bite
me, but they always bit my
husband. I guess they liked his
A Penny for
Your Thoughts
By
Nancy Whitaker
taste better than mine. But did
you know that only girl mosquitoes bite?
Mosquitoes mean nothing
personal when they take your
blood. Female mosquitoes
need protein for their eggs,
and must take a blood meal
in order to reproduce. Since
males dont bear the burden
of producing young, theyll
avoid you completely and
head for the flowers instead.
And when not trying to produce eggs, females are happy
to stick to nectar, too.
Mosquitoes can fly at speeds
between 1 and 1.5 miles per
hour. This may sound fast,
but in the world of insects, it
is rather slow.If a race were
held between all the flying insects, nearly every other contestant would beat the pokey
mosquito. Butterflies, locusts
and beeswould all finish well
ahead of the skeeter.
All mosquitoes require water to breed. Some species can
breed in puddles left after a
rainstorm.Just a few inches
of water is all it takes for a female to deposit her eggs.Tiny

mosquito larva develop quickly in bird baths, roof gutters,
and old tires dumped in vacant
lots.
An adult mosquito may live
5-6 months, but fewprobably
make it that long, given our
tendency to slap them silly
when they land on us. But in
the right circumstances, an
adult mosquito has quite a
long life expectancy, as bugs
go.
Some interesting facts or
sayings about skeeters are
that they are more apt to bite
when there is a full moon; not
only that, they are attracted to
smelly feet or the scent of limburger cheese.
Lots of people are very allergic to bees and a bee sting
can prove deadly to those with
the allergy. One time when I
was little, I recall that we were
driving home from church. It
was dark and Grandma wasup
front with Grandpaeating peanuts. She reached in the peanut bag and got a hand full,
begin to chew and then started to yell. Grandma had bit
down on a bee that was hiding
in the peanuts. I do remember
the bee died and Grandmas
tongue swelled up and she
could not talk for a week. I felt
so bad for her.
This spring and summer
watch out for the creepy,
crawly, flying pests. Dont let
anything sweet sit out in your
kitchen, have feet that smell
like limburger or eat peanuts
in the dark. If you do, let me
know and Ill give you a Penny for Your Thoughts.
FAIRGROUND CLEANUP On May 9, the Doe-C-Doe 4-H Club met at the Paulding County Fairgrounds to help clean and prepare for the upcoming fair, June 8-13. Participants included, front

Mallory Mansfield. They also washed fire trucks for the Crane Township Volunteer Fire Department
in April. The club is having a bake sale at the Antwerp Exchange Bank from 8:30 a.m.-noon May 16.
Photo fundraiser coming to Payne
PAYNE A release from the Payne Fire Department indicates for the next several weeks,
department representatives will be going doorto-door asking for a $20 donation as part of a
fundraiser.
Like many firefighters across the state, the
members of the Payne Fire Department have
to be both firefighters and fund raisers, so
their departments can have money to buy new
equipment to meet always changing safety standards, said Payne Fire Chief Jamie Mansfield.
Money from the donations will be used to
purchase equipment needed to update and improve the departments service to the communi-
ty.
Each donor will receive a coupon for a free
family portrait taken by a professional photographer at the fire station. Tentative date for the
photo shoot is Saturday, June 20.
According to the Volunteer Firefighters Association, fund raisers are now more visible
than ever before because they are one way to
bring in additional revenue. They also indicated
additional funds are often necessary if budget
cuts are passed on to the department.
The members of the Payne Fire Department
would like to thank all area residents for their
continued support, concluded Chief Mansfield.
Dandelions: A beneficial herb

By Staci Miller
Education specialist
Paulding SWCD
The dandelions are in full
bloom this spring. Though
they may be considered a
weed to many people, they
do have a variety of beneficial
purposes.
Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) is a common meadow
herb of the Asteraceae or sunflower family. There are about
100 species of dandelion, and
all are beneficial. The perennial dandelion grows freely
wherever it can find soil and
sunlight. Dandelions common name is derived from
the French dent de lion, a
reference to the irregular and
jagged margins of the lanceshaped leaves. Dandelion may
be distinguished from other
similar-looking herbs by the
hollow, leafless flower stems
that contain a bitter milkywhite liquid also found in the
root and leaves.
Early colonists brought
this herb to North America.
The native people soon recognized the value of the herb
and sought it out for its medical and nutritious benefits.
Fresh leaves may be added to
salads or cooked. The juice extracted from the stem and leaf
is the most potent part of the
plant for medicinal purposes.
It has been used to eradicate
warts and soothe calluses, bee
stings, or sores. Infusions of
dandelion blossoms have been
used as a beautifying facial,
refreshing the skin.
Dandelion is a nutritive herb
rich in potassium, calicum,
and lecithin, with iron, magnesium, niacin, phosphorus, proteins, silicon, boron, and zinc.
Dandelion provides several B
vitamins along with vitamins
C and E as well as vitamin
P. All parts of the dandelion
have culinary and medicinal
value. It is best to harvest fresh
young dandelion leaves in
the spring. The small, young
leaves are less bitter, and may
Smile because dandelions are a sure sign of spring time and

sunshine!
be eaten uncooked in salads.
Larger leaves can be lightly
steamed to reduce bitterness. If
you are interested in trying dandelions for yourself, please feel
free to refer to this website for
dandelion recipes: www.wildmanstevebrill.com/Web%20
Recipes/Recipes%20Page.html#Anchor-Dandelions-11481.
Dandelions can also be
beneficial to your lawn. Their
wide-spreading roots loosen
hard-packed soil, aerate the
earth and help reduce erosion.

Sights and smells of

an old cherry tree
HOMESPUN
By
JIM LANGHAM
could be picked the week before we visited family members in Nebraska on an annual
basis. I spent days with a little
step ladder picking cherries
and sending them off to market. I would often raise as
much as four or five dollars to
spend on souvenirs on the trip.

This weekend that all came
back to me, memories of
childhood created by the sight
of flowering branches and a
sweet aroma that I always enjoyed.
In my mind, seeing the one
simple tree remaining recreated the picture of a backyard
full of cherry, pear, crabapple,
apple and peach trees. That in
turn brought back memories of
jelly sandwiches, some even
shared with transients who
used to pass by on the railroad
track running past the west end
of our little village.
For just a brief moment,
I stood at the base of the tree
and allowed myself to be transported into a world of climbing
those same limbs, taking in that
same aroma and jumping with
excitement because I had just
hit my first run.
Five Longberry cousins had a family reunion at the Essen House Restaurant in Antwerp on April
12. Some of them had never met before. Hosting the gathering were Ernie Longberry and Caroline
Zimmerman, both of Antwerp. All were descended from Charles and Mary (Van Buskirk) Longberry
of Alleghany County, Md. and later of PIckaway County, Ohio. Family lore states the Longberrys are
Welsh. After lunch, the group met at Antwerp area cemeteries where Ernie pointed out family plots.
Enjoying the day were, from left - Pat (Wells) Gottschalk of Fort Wayne, Tom Longberry from Marion,
Ohio, Kevin Longberry of Richwood, Caroline (Wells) Zimmerman and Ernie Longberry.

to have the buildings open for the 2015 fair. Colley
and Miller then requested the 2015 funds from the
General Fund. The commissioners requested they
submit a written request. Miller indicated this could
be done soon.
County Treasurer Lou Ann Wannemacher submitted her monthly Investment Interest report for the
commissioners review. She noted interest revenue
for 2015 is well above what was estimated.
Wannemacher then reviewed the 2015 Investment
Inventory report and also the Total Investments report
as of March 31. She presented the bill from Smart Bill
for postage required to mail the first half 2105 tax bills
to residents.

penses from 2011 through March of 2015. General

Fund annual receipts have shown a steady increase
since 2011. The four-year average annual receipts
from 2011 through 2014 is $4,651,516.48. General
Fund annual expenses have shown a steady increase
since 2011 as well.
The four-year average annual expenses from 2011
through 2014 is $4,581.031.40. The first quarter 2015
numbers were strong, with receipts at $1,913,708.83
and expenses at $1,329,212.51. Fickel also noted
conveyance fees collected are down from first quarter 2014. She explained while there were more deeds
filed, more of them were fee exempt.
Fickel commented the appraiser has been busy
with the revaluation. The new pictrometry program
has, so far, helped her identify 180 parcels that will
need changes for the 2106 tax year (payable in 2017).
The appraiser noted the program will definitely pay
for itself.
Fickel discussed the county parking lot and available parking when the lot is full.
Clerk of Courts Ann Pease presented her monthly
reports for the commissioners review. She reported
the Title Department processed 1,327 titles in March,
which is the biggest month to date. Pease noted the
state will be upgrading her computer system soon.
In her legal office, she reported 237 new cases
filed in the first quarter 2015. Pease commented

on the never-ending task of docketing, which is the
tracking of a case from the time it is first filed. She
applauded her staff for being efficient in docketing
and also working the accounts receivable making
sure the billing is done timely.
Bill Edwards, Health Department Edwards
reported the generator they are currently using is in
need of repair. It is imperative to have a reliable generator due to the controlled temperature the vaccine
serum requires. In the event of a power outage, the
serum needs special attention to ensure its effectiveness.
Edwards noted he has done three more sewer
line inspections at the Auglaize River Sewer (ARS)
site. He presented a blueprint of a campground at the
ARS site for the commissioners review. The Paulding County Health Department is responsible for
issuing sewer permits and then, once the sewer line
is installed, inspecting them to make sure they are in
compliance.

This past weekend when I

was walking in the area of my
old home place, a certain sight
captured my attention.
While there is very little
these days to remind me of the
way things were back in those
days, in the midst of an unfamiliar environment stood a
most familiar sight a cherry
tree adorned with a floral blanket just like it was in the days
when I was a child.
There it was, the first tree I
had ever climbed, a source of
income for childhood projects,
one of six such trees that stood
in a row between our property
and that of the neighbors next
door.
One of my first memories
dates back to the times when
our backyard was a ball diamond for neighborhood
games and especially those
between my dear friend, Meredith Sprunger, and me. The
tree served as the home run
fence. When a ball lifted over
the tree in the air, it was a
home run.
I still remember the day
you hit your first home run,
my friend would always say.
I dont doubt it because he
was 12 and I was six at the
time. Ironically, the old tree
also doubled as second base
in our little neighborhood ball
field.
Perhaps one of the fondest memories, even though it
meant work, was that of picking cherries and sending them
to work with my dad to sell to
the ladies in the sewing room
for 50 cents a gallon. They
would can them or make jelly. The money would then be
deposited in a savings fund for
vacation money.
Quite often, the cherries

Joe Shouse/Paulding County Progress
Sitting in their chefs attire, from left Austin Vanatta, Derek Foy and David Fisher, take a break
in order to show off their first place trophy they received at the state competition. Both Foy and
Fisher, representing Vantage Career Center and a member of the culinary arts class, were awarded
first place in the banquet event order competition. Vanatta attended the conference and was one
the voting delegates.
Culinary arts takes first

place in state
By JOE SHOUSE
Progress Staff Writer
PAULDING Several students from Vantage Career
Center participated at the Family Career Community Leadership of America conference
on April 23-24 in Columbus.
Receiving a first place rating
in culinary arts were seniors
David Fisher from Paulding
High School and Derek Foy
from Continental.
The purpose of their competition in the field of culinary
arts was to prepare a meeting
room to match the request of
the guests. The request is referred to as a banquet event
order or BEO. The BEO would
be given to the students and
they would have to set up the
facility accordingly.
In the process of setting up the
room according to the scenario
given them, both Fisher and Foy

would soon receive a change in
plans and a new scenario would
be requested due to the guests
changing needs. The students
would then have to quickly
change their plan and set the room
up in such a way that would best
match the guests needs.
We made some mistakes
but when we found out that
we won and received the trophy it felt good to know that I
did something right, that I accomplished something, said
Fisher.
Future plans for Fisher includes owning his own restaurant one day.
I really enjoy the culinary
arts class and I think it will
help me achieve my dream
of someday owning my own
restaurant, he said.
Like Fisher, Foy is a two-
year student at Vantage in the

culinary arts department.
I was surprised and overwhelmed when we won. I
wasnt sure if we would do it
but I was pretty confident, said
Foy.
A third student in the culinary arts department, Austin
Vanatta, a junior from Antwerp
attended the conference and
had the privilege of being one
of the voting delegates.
Although Vanatta was not
part of the duo who won the
state title, he learned a lot at
the conference and enjoys the
class that is instructed by Robin
Burns.
One day I will be out on
my own and when I am away
from home I will need to know
how to cook. The culinary arts
class is a great way to learn
about cooking, said Vanatta.

PAULDING They are our community

members, neighbors, family, friends and part
of the largest industry in the county. Who are
they? Farmers! said Sarah Noggle, OSU Extension Educator in Agriculture and Natural
Resources.
This week as I looked on Twitter and Facebook in the evenings, I saw many Paulding
County Farmers excited to be in the fields.
The hashtag #Plant15 followed many of their
posts, said Noggle. The farm equipment
farmers are using seems to be getting bigger
and bigger. Since I began my career in agriculture, I can remember four distinct farm
accidents related to a tractor or sprayer and
vehicle crash. One
turned out with a
happy ending, the
other three not so
much.
Spring weather is
finally coming on,
bringing with it long
hours due to the delay in getting field
work done and crops
planted this year. If
you have never been
around the farm life
or sat in the cab of a
tractor, one doesnt
realize the size of the equipment. At times it is
extremely hard for the farmers to see around
the equipment, she continued. It really upsets
me to see the hustle and bustle of the cars trying to pass equipment without any regard to the
farmer.
The Federal Highway Administration
(FHWA) reminds us that six out of 10 (or 57
percent) of highway deaths across the U.S. occur on roads that it considers rural, and a large
percentage of those involve farmers and agricultural equipment.
But a University of Minnesota study indicates most Americans dont seem to understand
the risk on rural highways. For instance, 69
percent of Americans responded to the recent
study indicating that they felt safe on multilane
freeways in urban areas, while 79 percent felt
safe on two-lane highways in rural areas.
Americans are taking unnecessary risks
on rural roads, says Lee Munnich, director
of the University of Minnesotas Center for
Excellence in Rural Safety (CERS), which
sponsored the survey. Theyre more relaxed
and comfortable with risk-taking on the roads
where they are most likely to be killed.
Farm safety experts say the problem is often compounded on rural roads because rural
roads are often longer and travel across large
expanses of open country. But with springs
arrival, more farmers and ranchers are heading to their fields and pastures and motorists
on rural highways will be seeing more tractors
and large planting equipment on local roads,
increasing the risks of accident or mishap.
There is often a misconception by motorists
who think that rural roadways are safer because
it is a place where they can drive faster because
of less traffic. But when farm equipment is being
moved from field to field, the opposite is often
the truth, says Dan Neenan with the National
Education Center for Agricultural Safety. On the
other side of the coin is the farmer who thinks that
because he has lights and warning signs on his
equipment that he is easily spotted by approaching motorists, and he lets his guard down.
Neenan says the number one contributor to injuries resulting in accidents involving agricultural
equipment is farmers who are not wearing seatbelts.
The number of accidents involving farm
equipment is increasing. Talking on cell phones
or texting while driving is not just a problem in
urban areas. In fact, many motorists and even
farmers feel more comfortable using their cell
phones on rural roads because there is often less
traffic to consider, Neenan adds. And this is a
major contributor to vehicle accidents. Also of
concern are drivers who feel more comfortable
eating while driving on rural roads.
This season with the smaller planting window,
overexertion and fatigue are two types of injury that long hard days of trying to get crops in

May 17 at Memorial Field in Ottawa. Any player (grade 9-12)
who does not turn 20 years old
before Dec. 31 is eligible.
Players who are interested
in playing, but unable to attend
this meeting/practice should
the ground can cause. During this time of long

hours and hard work for area farmers, Noggle
also cautions farmers to take a break after sitting
in the tractor for long hours.
Stop every couple of hours to get out, stretch
your legs and do some stretching to loosen up
your back. Stretching and walking around will
to help to prevent fatigue, also try to get a good
nights sleep as hard as it seems. Remember to
drink plenty of water and to stay hydrated as you
work long hours and temperatures rise. Taking
care of you will help prevent further planting delays. Im not only cautioning drivers, I am cautioning you as farmers. Noggle said.
In an effort to increase awareness and curtail
rural
accidents
involving farm
equipment, experts say checking
lights on tractors
and equipment
and having highly visible orange
triangular Slow
Moving Vehicle
(SMV) emblems
correctly placed is
a first step.
In addition and
as possible, farmers and ranchers
should try to move equipment across rural roads
at non-peak driving times, attempting to avoid
after school drivers for example.
From the motorists stand point, drivers need
to understand that farmers have a legal right to
operate their vehicles on rural roads, so the key
to safely sharing the road is patience, courtesy
and caution.
Also, motorists should never rush when driving down rural roads. If you drive on rural roads,
chances are good that you will encounter farm
equipment. Avoid rushing and allow plenty of
time to reach your destination safely.
Pass with care: Pass farmers with caution.
Be observant of oncoming traffic and of other
vehicles that may try to pass. Never pass when
curves or hills block your view of oncoming vehicles, in a no-passing zone or within 100 feet
of an intersection, railroad crossing, bridge, elevated structure or tunnel. Also be careful that the
farmer is not pulling to the right to make a wide
left turn.
Be patient: Farmers are not operating
equipment on rural roads to slow other drivers
down intentionally; they are working to provide
a safe food supply. Whenever possible, farmers
will pull off the road to allow others to pass.
Slow down: The orange triangular Slow
Moving Vehicle emblem warns drivers of a slow
vehicle. All farm equipment traveling at speeds
of 25 mph or less are required to be marked with
an SMV emblem. Once you see it, slow down
immediately.
Remain visible: Dont assume the farmer
knows you are driving near his vehicle. Although
most farmers check behind them whenever possible, they are concentrating on keeping their
equipment on the road and avoiding oncoming
traffic. Before you pass, use your cars horn to let
the driver know where you are. Farmers may not
be able to hear you over their equipment noise.
Yield to wide vehicles: Sometimes farm
equipment is wider than travel lanes. If you approach wide equipment and cannot pass safely,
stop. Watch for pilot or escort cars, which help
to indicate an oversized vehicle. If you see one,
pull off so the vehicle can pass you.
Noggle added, Many of these farmers are
our next door neighbors, friends or even family members, we urge drivers to take that extra
few seconds to slow down and possibly save a
life. As I looked at the Fastline online magazine
this week, I found a quote that is meant for the
excitement of spring planting To those who
spend their days on the tractor, their nights in the
barn and their lives on the farm we thank you.
To all drivers, please slow down, you never
know when those few extra seconds showing
patience could save a life. To the farmers, have a
safe planting season. Cooperation among farmers and rural motorists is the key to rural roads
safety.
