Armed robbers target GenFed again ANTWERP A credit union in Ant-werp was the target of a second armedrobbery in less than two months. At 12:50 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 11,the Paulding County Sheriffs Ofcereceived a call regarding an armed rob-

bery occurring at GenFed Financial, lo-cated on Road 424 just east of Antwerp.The caller reported that at least foursubjects in light clothing went runninginside the building. According to Sheriff Jason Landers,responding ofcers discovered foursuspects entered the bank brandishinghandguns and demanded cash from thethree tellers. The suspects were wearing hooded

jackets with different styles of face cov-erings. The suspects did get away withan undisclosed amount of cash. None of the bank tellers was injuredduring the robbery.

Two of the suspects were wearinggray hooded jackets, and two were

wearing black jackets. The suspectsed the scene in a gray or silver SUVwestbound from the bank.

Security camera photos of three of the four robbers in last weeks GenFed holdup in Antwerp.

This bank was robbed on Oct. 22,and the same method was utilized to-day, said Sheriff Landers. It makesme sick that these tellers had to experi-ence one bank robbery in their life andnow another. I am disappointed I havenot been able to apprehend the suspects

from the rst robbery, because I amconvinced these were the same crimi-nals today.

Two suspects held up the same Gen-Fed on Oct. 22. The pair, described astwo black males, ed the scene in agray-colored Chevy Impala. That caseremains unsolved. The FBI and Antwerp Police Depart-ment assisted the sheriffs ofce at the

scene on Thursday. If anyone has information regardingthis incident or any other crime, please

Judge holds off on ruling

about park board dissolutionBy JIM LANGHAM

Feature Writer PAULDING Paulding County ProbateJudge John DeMuth told Paulding CountyCommissioner Tony Zartman and Prose-

cuting Attorney Joseph Burkard on Mon-day morning that he would give a rulingabout a possible county park board dissolu-tion within the next several days. Several county residents attended themeeting and asked the judge for anotheryear to develop the boards purpose of ac-quiring land for a park district. Zartman and Burkard were asking to shutdown the park board due to inactivity over aseveral-year time frame. Zartman said thatthe commissioners ofce recognizes thevalue of the purpose of the board, but therehas been no activity on the board for severalyears. According to Zartman, a $130 bond is

required for each of the three board mem-bers to protect nancial misconduct. Henoted that commissioners feel that payingthat amount ($130) each year without anyactivity is a waste of taxpayer money.

We now have more available fundingout there for clean-up, commented Com-missioner-elect Mark Holtsbery, who cur-rently works with Paulding County Soiland Water Conservation District. Holtsberry offered his services to workwith the situation. He noted that he has hadgood success in receiving grant awards inrecent years. He noted that he felt that thereis good sound grant money out there wait-ing to be tapped for situations such as the

park board and park development in Pauld-ing County. As a commissioner-elect, I would loveto see this court continue this bond, saidHoltsberry. With myself in there as part of

the monitoring, I feel that we can make thisthing go. I was an original park board member,said Tim Franklin, retired now from theSoil and Water Conservation.

Franklin said that such entities as theBlack Swamp Conservancy and ForrestFarm had rst spoken of connecting withthe park board for property and then decid-ed to keep the property to themselves. We decided to add the entire county inthe organization because it would be easierto add other properties if we did that, saidFranklin. Then there were no other proper-ties to be acquired. The economy took quite a dive. Peo-

ple were against any kind of taxes so wedecided not to put anything on the ballot.My feeling these days is that there is still

hunting reserve, said that over500 individuals from such des-tinations as Indianapolis, Mich-igan, Fort Wayne, Chicago andCleveland have utilized his

property this year. There are many people inthe county that dont even knowthat we have a park board, saidDysinger. I would like to see

you give it a go at least for onemore year to see what can hap-

pen. Zartman responded that the

board has had many years andnothing has happened. He saidhe couldnt see how one moreyear would prove anything. If something happens, wewill support it, said Zartman.Its just that nothing has hap-

pened. In the end, DeMuth stated,I am going to take this matterunder advisement. I will issuea written document in the nextseven days. I will give anyoneuntil Dec. 22 to have the oppor-tunity to write a written docu-ment stating their position onthe matter.

The one nay vote came fromKenneth Reinhart, who feels that res-idents should have a choice when itcomes to their garbage collection. Im against it, I think each individ-

ual in our community should have theright to hire who they want to collect.They should have a choice, Reinhartsaid. Bids for collection will be consid-ered at the beginning of 2015.

During thistime, the village and township will bein negotiations as they develop andagree on a new contract. In the reading of the additional or-dinances: The third reading of the newwater rates was made and will go ineffect in 2015. The new rates includea 5 percent increase each year for thenext three years. This was a neces-sary increase. With us doing this, itwill only get us to the even mark afterthree years, said Councilman LarryRyan. The emergency reading wasmade and the ordinance unanimouslypassed authorizing the scal ofcer toamend appropriations.

The emergency reading wasgiven and the ordinance was unan-imously passed to make appropria-tions for current expenses and otherexpenditures during 2015. The emergency reading and the

passing of an ordinance establishingcompensation for council members,Yearly compensation is between$3,000 and $3,400 per member. The emergency reading of aresolution approving the solid wastemanagement plan update for the

proved. An ordinance establishing thetime, date and place of regular meet-ings of the council was passed. Meet-ings will continue to be at 5:30 p.m.on the third Monday of each month

This week, Lovina Eicher shares her mothers recipe forhomemade popcorn balls.

Mother-daughter bonding and

festive treats for the season First of all, a happy 17th

birthday to daughter Verenatoday, Dec. 10. How couldthose 17 years have gone byso fast? I am glad to have Ver-ena here at home during theday. Its good to have some-one to help me with cooking,cleaning, laundry, sewing,

and all that goes with keepinga house going with a familyof ten. Every one of the girlshas helped me before gettinga full-time job. This is a pre-cious time to me: spendingtime with my daughters andmaking a lot of memoriestogether that we will alwaystreasure. It is also a great learningexperience for them to learnhow to do sewing, canning,

baking and cooking. I helpedmy mother after I was out ofschool, and I remember how

precious it was to work andtalk together. Not only was

she my mother but also mybest friend. I want the samefriendship with my children.My daily prayer is to be agood example to my childrenand to always guide them tolive the life God wants. Since Verenas specialfriend, Marvin, lives a cou-

ple hours away, we decidedto surprise Verena on Sundaywhile he was here visiting inMichigan. Others who camein honor of Verenas birthdaywere Timothy and Mose; Ja-cob, Emma and family; theirdaughters friends, Mennoand Manuel; and also my sis-

ters Verena and Susan. On the menu was barbe-cued chicken, hot wings andT-bone steaks, mashed pota-toes, chicken gravy, dressing,corn, potato salad, lettuce sal-ad, sliced cheese, homemade

bread, butter, strawberry jam,peanut butter pies and a vari-ety of Christmas candy. Vere-na had another surprise whenMarvin presented a DairyQueen ice cream cake to herwith candles for her to blowout.

I forgot to mention thatBarbara, a friend of ourdaughters, was also here for

Verenas birthday. She and

Verena were born not too farapart, and Barbaras motherand I both had the same mid-wife. Right after Verena was

born at 6:32 a.m., someonecame to our house to get themidwife, because Barbarawas being born. Happy birth-day wishes to Barbara! Christmas is only a coupleweeks away. Joe and I didsome shopping on Saturday.

Verena is wrapping some ofthe gifts this afternoon. I dontmind that job, but it seems Ialways have something elsethat needs to be done. I have ameeting at the school this af-ternoon.I would like to thank Carolfrom Washington for the four1,000-piece puzzles she sent.We will have lots of fun put-ting them together this winter.And also a thank you to all therest of you readers for yourencouraging letters!This week Im going to sharemy recipe for popcorn balls.Mother made these every

Christmas. She would put red

food coloring in the syrup togive them a reddish color. Iusually do half of them withred food coloring and halfwith green. It gives them a

Christmas look during theholidays.Gods blessings to all!

Christmas at the gas stationPart 1 of 2 Every year we all wish oneanother a Merry Christmasand a Happy New Year, but alot of times things are not al-ways merry and bright. A lotof people have suffered loss-es and can sense loneliness atthis special time of year. From a personal stand-

point, this has been one ofthe worst years that I have

ever experienced. I lost notonly my husband, but threeof my best friends as well. SoI know the upcoming holidayseason will not only bring

joy at the birth of Jesus, butsadness for those who are nolonger with us. I am sure it isnot always easy to keep thatholiday spirit in our lives. Weall can reect, look back andrecall previous years and per-haps happier times.

I recently read a story thatwas not only meaningful tome, but that I wanted to sharewith readers. The name ofthe article is Christmas at

the Gas Station, a dramaticreading by Roger Fredinburg.

I hope this story helps tobrighten up your holidays. Iknow it has mine. The story goes: The old man sat in his gasstation on a cold ChristmasEve. He hadnt been any-where in years since his wifehad passed away. It was justanother day to him. He real-ly didnt hate Christmas, buthe just couldnt nd a reasonto celebrate. The old man was sittingthere looking at the snow thathad been falling for the last

hour and wondering what itwas all about when the dooropened and a homeless manstepped through. Instead of throwing theman out, Old George, as hewas known by his customers,told the man to come and sit

by the heater and warm up.Thank you, but I dont meanto intrude, said the stranger.I see youre busy, Ill justgo. Not without something hotin your belly. George said. He turned and opened awide mouth Thermos andhanded it to the stranger. It

aint much, but its hot andtasty. Stew, made it myself.When youre done, therescoffee and its fresh. Just at that moment OldGeorge heard the ding ofthe driveway bell. Excuseme, be right back, Georgesaid. There in the drivewaywas an old 53 Chevy. Steam

was rolling out of the front.The driver was panicked. Mister can you help me?said the driver, with a deepSpanish accent. My wife iswith child and my car is bro-ken. George opened the hood.It was bad. The block lookedcracked from the cold, the carwas dead. You aint going inthis thing, George said as he

turned away. But Mister, please help.The door of the ofce closed

behind George as he wentinside. He went to the ofcewall and got the keys to his oldtruck, and went back outside.He walked around the build-ing, opened the garage, startedthe truck and drove it aroundto where the couple was wait-ing. Here, take my truck, hesaid. She aint the best thingyou ever looked at, but sheruns real good. George helped put the wom-an in the truck and watched as

it sped off into the night. Heturned and walked back insidethe ofce. Glad I gave emthe truck, their tires were shottoo. That ol truck has brandnew tires. George thought hewas talking to the stranger, butthe man had gone. The Ther-mos was on the desk, empty,with a used coffee cup besideit. Well, at least he got some-thing in his belly, Georgethought. George went back outsideto see if the old Chevy wouldstart. It cranked slowly, but itstarted. He pulled it into thegarage where the truck had

been. He thought he wouldtinker with it for something todo. Christmas Eve meant nocustomers. He discovered the

block hadnt cracked, it wasjust the bottom hose on the ra-diator. Well, shoot, I can xthis, he said to himself. So he

put a new one on. Those tires aint gonna get

em through the winter either.He took the snow treads off ofhis wifes old Lincoln. Theywere like new and he wasntgoing to drive the car anyway. As he was working, heheard shots being red. Heran outside and beside a policecar an ofcer lay on the coldground. Bleeding from the leftshoulder, the ofcer moaned,Please help me.

George helped the ofcerinside as he remembered thetraining he had received in theArmy as a medic. He knewthe wound needed attention.Pressure to stop the bleed-ing, he thought. The uniformcompany had been there thatmorning and had left cleanshop towels. He used thoseand duct tape to bind thewound. Hey, they say ducttape can x anythin, he said,trying to make the policemanfeel at ease. Something for pain,George thought. All he hadwas the pills he used for his

back. These ought to work.He put some water in a cupand gave the policeman the

pills. You hang in there, Imgoing to get you an ambu-lance. The phone was dead. May-

be I can get one of your bud-dies on that there talk box outin your car. He went out onlyto nd that a bullet had goneinto the dashboard destroyingthe two way radio. He went back in to ndthe policeman sitting up.Thanks, said the ofcer.You could have left me there.The guy that shot me is still in

the area. George sat down besidehim, I would never leavean injured man in the Armyand I aint gonna leave you.George pulled back the ban-dage to check for bleeding.Looks worse than what it is.Bullet passed right throughya. Good thing it missed theimportant stuff though. I thinkwith time your gonna be rightas rain. George got up and poureda cup of coffee. How do youtake it? he asked. None forme, said the ofcer. Oh,yer gonna drink this. Best in

the city. Too bad I aint gotno doughnuts. The ofcerlaughed and winced at thesame time. What else is going to hap-

pen to Old George that Christ-mas Eve? Will he be preparedand ready for the unexpected?Find out next week in Pennyfor Your Thoughts.

Trees: Plant for the futureBy Mark HoltsberryEducation specialistPaulding SWCD

I know, as you read this topic, you thought,what is he thinking? With packed, cold,heavy icy snow lying on the ground, wherethere seems to be no green in the coming fu-ture, what has the tree done for you lately? Those short and tall, woody stemmed

plants with leaves for needles are true won-ders of nature. From the air we breathe, to a2x4 in your homes wall, the tree has provento be humankinds best friend. How many of us in our childhood or evenadulthood, have built a treehouse for our-selves or grandchildren? How about puttingup a tree swing, making sure that the branchwas big enough to hold people? What aboutwatching the nest of birds nally leavingthe nest? The positive memories we all haveabout trees should outweigh the negativeones.

Foresters around the globe are trying tomanage the worlds forests so they are health-ier, more plentiful and at the same time pro-vide the many products we all need to survive. Please take a moment to realize just howmany things in your everyday life can be at-tributed to trees: producing oxygen providing cooling shade reducing soil erosion looking beautiful creating privacy providing lumber for construction buffering noise pollution creating homes for various wildlife providing home heating during winter The Paulding SWCD annual tree sale is go-ing on now through March 31. Stop in at theofce at 503 Fairgrounds Drive and discoverour updated offerings and new additions for2015. Call 419-399-4771 for more informa-tion. Plan to plant for the future.
