Officials plan career opportunity and job fair By JIM LANGHAM

Feature Writer PAULDING – Paulding County Economic Devel-opment director Jerry Zielke is about to realize oneof his primary goals since he moved into his ofceseveral months ago - an organized career opportunityand job show under one roof. “One of my goals has been to bring educators,employers and people searching for jobs togetherunder one roof,” observed Zielke. “I felt there was areal disconnect and that we needed to bring this alltogether. We needed to be more visible in the county

to help people nd stable jobs. “The real focus is building a better and strongerwork force in the county,” continued Zielke. “We wantemployers to see that we have a well-trained, willingwork force that is ready to go. In order to do this, weall have to work together.” Zielke noted that employers who will place boothsat the fair, which will be held at the OSU Extension building from noon-6 p.m. on March 24, includeBaughman Tile Company, Cooper Farms, HavilandDrainage Products, Haviland Plastic Products, Her - bert E. Orr Company, McDonald’s-Paulding, Pauld-

ing Putnam Electric Co-op, Taylor-Made Glass Sys-tems and U.S. Army and Marines Recruiting Center. “Every one of these businesses have job openingsright now and are willing to talk to people about jobs,”said Zielke. Zielke said that it is his understanding that Coopers’especially has a signicant amount of employmentopportunities. In addition to the jobs fair, there will also be a con-tinuing educational symposium going on with empha-

Stop lights divide ODOT, Payne Village

Staff Photo/Paulding County Progress

Malfunctioning trafc lights, wrapped in plastic, still stand guard at one of Payne’s main inter -sections at Ohios 49 and 500/613 (Main and Merrin streets). Another set of lights two blocks southis also idle. Village ofcials are trying to get the lights repaired, while ODOT says the lights areunnecessary and should be removed.

By JOE SHOUSEProgress Staff Writer

PAYNE – After monthswith no trafc signals at two

prominent intersections in thevillage of Payne, it appearsthe stalemate will continue.At the recent monthly councilmeeting on March 9, councilmembers, village leaders aswell as county leaders cametogether in hopes of gettingafrmative responses from theOhio Department of Trans- portation (ODOT). In question are the two sig-nals located at the intersec-tion of Ohio 49 and TownlineRoad (Ohio 613) – just east ofthe school – as well as the in-tersection closer to downtownat Ohio 49 and Merrin Street(also a part of Ohio 500).

According to ODOT dis-trict 1 deputy director KirkSlusher, the following stepswill be taken to bring the in-tersections up to what theyrefer to as Ohio’s uniformtrafc devices. According toSlusher the devices at the in-tersections would be: • Ohio 49 and Ohio 613would require no lightedcontrol device. The trafc ofOhio 49 would not stop and

the trafc on Townline (Ohio613) would have only stopsigns. The stop bar on the westside would be moved forward

slightly to improve the view ofthe intersection for those trav-eling eastbound on Townline. • The second intersectionat Ohio 49 and Merrin Streetwould have a solid green light

for trafc on Ohio 49 unless atrafc sensor detected vehicleson Merrin Street. The only reason that Mer-

rin Street would be issued astop light permit is because ofthe visibility due to structure proximity at the intersection.According to ODOT, the pres-ent design doesn’t have any

pedestrian-activated switchesto activate the red light to crossthe street on Ohio 49. It is the concern of the vil-

lage that proper signals be in-stalled to help keep childrenand village residents safe. The village also has a majorconcern for all the slow-mov-ing farm wagons during harvest

season as they make their wayto the largest public graininghandling facility in PauldingCounty. And at this point the

village feels that ODOT ismore concerned about follow-ing their manual than seeingthe overall picture concerningtheir village needs. Joining the village counciland its Mayor Terry Smith asa sign of support were StateRepresentative Tony Burkley,county Commissioners MarkHoltsberry and Ray Klopfen-stein, Sheriff Jason Landers,EMA director Ed Bohn, Ant-werp Exchange Bank’s GeoffHyman, Divine Mercy School principal Cathy Schoenauer,Wayne Trace Elementaryschool representative NancySpeice, Payne Chamber of

Commerce president ChadBenschneider, Payne PoliceChief Rodney Miller, and ahost of local citizens. The situation was triggeredwhen a lightning strike de-stroyed the traffic control panel for the two downtownstoplights. To repair the stoplights would require a permitfrom ODOT. With the needed

n TRAFFICContinued from Page 1A permit, ODOT was now in control of the situ-ation that in turn required a trafc study beforeany repairs would be considered.

In the meantime, the village has been leftwith temporary stop signs and the eyesore of plastic bags covering the disabled trafc lights. The results of the trafc study proved therewas little trafc and it was such a small amountthat it did not register on the chart, according toODOT. “I think many of the folks in town havefound that the four-way stop at both intersec-tions has actually made the trafc ow saferand smoother than ever before. We would behappy to replace the old stop lights under the permit that is still currently valid from 1963, orgo to two four-way red ashing lights at bothintersections,” said Benschneider. According to Slusher, however, the Ohio Re-vised Code and the trafc control manual statesthat the role of trafc lights is to control the traf -c ow, not to control the speed of the vehicles.

With the recommendations on the table fromODOT, the village solicitor, James Sponseller,spoke at length citing the Ohio Revised Codeand trafc manual, stating that ODOT is usinga very narrow interpretation of the code and that

it is subjective to interpretation. “The code states several times that ODOT‘may’ require the removal of trafc control de-vices, which is the government’s legal term thatit can, but it isn’t mandated or required,” saidSponseller. When Slusher was approached about the phraseology that says “may require” and thefact that he (Slusher) has at his discretion theability to change his nal answer, he still heldto his original answer. “Now that you know what you know andyou have the ability to waive the requirements,are you willing?” Mayor Smith said to Slusher,who responded, “No.” Now that the second meeting between vil-lage and ODOT ofcials has concluded and thetrafc lights continue to remain dark, the futurecontinues to look as dark. Sponseller said, “My advice is not to acceptthe recommendation.” When Slusher was asked in a phone inter -view whether a third meeting could be ar-ranged if another solution or answer could be discovered, or did he agree that it’s futileat this point, he responded, “At this point, Iagree, it’s futile.”

Agency outlines long-range transportation goalsBy JIM LANGHAM

Feature Writer PAULDING – Ellen Smith, transportation planner/GIS analyst and Rick Weaver, planningengineer, from Maumee Valley Planning Orga-nization (MVPO), were present at the Pauld-ing Library on March 11 to present the project“Moving Together, 2040” to an interested groupof local residents. The program is part of an effort by Ohio De- partment of Transportation (ODOT) to strength-

en and formalize rural construction and transportation planning processes. The program “Regional Transportation Plan-ning Organization” (RTPO) is geared towardthe development of a transportation plan, inter-agency consultation and stakeholder outreachand development of transportation planning ex- pertise. The Maumee Valley program is mentored byTMACOG and serves the ve counties served by the MVPO including Deance, Fulton, Hen-ry, Paulding and Williams counties. MVPO of -cials have been traveling throughout the region presenting the new program. Smith said that 75 percent of the state is nowcovered by some form of an RTPO program. “It gives more rural voice to gain more fund-ing for these regions,” observed Smith. Plan contents for the RTPO development of

transportation include goals and objectives, in-ventory existing conditions, projection of futureconditions, needs analysis, plan recommenda-tions, funding sources identied and public par -ticipation.

Ellen Smith and Rick Weaver presented the program, “Moving Together, 2040,” to interestedPaulding County residents at the Paulding Library last Wednesday evening.

“Fundamentals of the Long Range Trans- portation Plan outline involves what the regionwants to accomplish over the life of the plan,scheduled to go out by 2040,” said Weaver. “It ismeant to provide direction for regional transpor-tation over the next 25 years, bring about short-and long-term strategies to address needs in theregional and to update every ve years.” Weaver said that such concepts are being ex-amined as the most important projects, regional

needs of the ve-county area and what projectsthe public seems to feel is the most important. “There is a ranked project list which rep-resents what the region wants to accomplish, notwhat will be funded,” said Weaver. “This pro-

cess could change in the future.” Weaver said that the step process, which isdata driven, includes road restoration, road new/capacity and transportation enhancement. Road restoration, Weaver said, refers to those projects which need to make improvements, butnot add lanes. Road new/capacity, refers to theaddition of new lights and new roads. Transpor-tation enhancement deals with programs deal-ing with new facilities and community physical

growth. The second step in the project prioritization process is to pick ve representatives from eachcounty, creating a 25-person study committee.Members of that committee are to be composed

of such leaders as county commissioners, eco-nomic development, county engineer and citi-zen committee members. He noted that most weight in the project in-cludes accessibility, freight, economic develop-ment, safety, environmental impacts and projectreadiness. “Safety is always number one in all projects,”said Weaver. “Other more important factors in-clude accessibility and environmental impacts.” Some of the leading projects being consid-

ered in Paulding County road restoration proj-ects include: • maintaining Ohio 49 through Antwerp • ashing stop signs on Ohio 613 and US127 • ashing stop signs on Ohio 114 at US 127 • pavement widening of County Road 115from Township Road 210 to the Deance Coun-ty Line • and pavement widening of County 144from Paulding west to Township Road 61. Paulding new capacity projects include: • US 127/County Road 144 intersection projects • trafc signals on US 127 at Wayne TraceSchool • and reconstruction of a right lane on north- bound US 127 at County Road 124. A Paulding transportation enhancement proj-

ect includes a County Road 124 recreationaltrail from Deance County Line to Antwerp. For more information, visit the MVPO web-site at www.mvpo.org and click on “Transporta-tion Planning.”

Details emerging in cocaine

network bust, indictments17 federal searches lead to seizure of drugs, cash, firearms FORT WAYNE – The U.S. Attorney’s Of -ce of the Northern District of Indiana an-

nounced March 10 two indictments chargingsix persons in what is alleged to be the largestcocaine distribution network in the greaterFort Wayne area. These indictments are the result of an ex-tensive law enforcement investigation led bythe Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) FortWayne Safe Streets Task Force. In addition tothe FBI, the Task Force consists of the AllenCounty Sheriff’s Department, the Fort WaynePolice Department and the Indiana State Po-lice. There were ve people charged with con-spiracy to deliver more than ve kilograms ofcocaine: • Allan L. Bates, 37, of Fort Wayne • James W. Lepper, 66, of Butler, Indiana • Larry J. Norton, 63, of Mission Texas,formerly of Fort Wayne

OVI-related fatal crashes on downward trend VAN WERT – As part ofthe Patrol’s ongoing effortto contribute to a safer Ohio,troopers are continuing theirincreased focus on impaireddriving enforcement – andthese efforts are paying off. Forthe third year in a row, troopersremoved more than 24,000 impaired drivers from Ohio road-

ways. Operating a vehicle while in-toxicated (OVI) -related crashesaccounted for 34 percent of allfatal crashes in Ohio in 2014.

This is the same percentage as2013, but far below the 2011-2013 average of 40 percent. There were 13,628 OVI-re-lated crashes on Ohio road-ways, killing 340 and injuring7,959. Speed was a contribut-ing factor in 60 percent of allOVI-related crashes. Of driversconsidered at-fault in OVI-re-

lated crashes, 28 percent were between the ages of 25 and 34. “We need motorists to com-mit to keeping our roads safe by planning ahead to designate

a driver and insisting that ev-eryone in the vehicle is buck -led up,” said Lt. Tim Grigsby“You can also help ght the battle against impaired driving by actively inuencing friendsand family to do the same.” Last year, state troopers fromthe Van Wert Post, arrestedover 250 impaired drivers in

this area. The public is encouragedto call #677 to report impaired drivers, drug activity orstranded motorists.

Wedding preparations include

homemade angel food cake

Lovina and daughters have been busy sewing new outts forthe wedding where they helped as cooks or servers.

We had a lot of fog this morn-ing. The schools had a two-hourdelay because of the fog. Thismade for some happy children!

It has been a lot warmer thisweek with the temperature al-most reaching 50 degrees onMonday. Sure gives a personspring fever. I am hoping it will be nice and warm for Alvin andSusanna’s wedding tomorrow. I went to help prepare forthe wedding on Monday at the bride’s home. Daughters Eliz-abeth and Susan didn’t haveto work so they helped Verenawith the laundry. They hungsome of it outside and it driedreally well. I was glad the laun-dry was done when I camehome. Other women were at the bride’s home too, helping pre-

pare for the wedding. Womenmade pie crusts and crushedcorn akes to mix with ranchseasoning to coat the chick-en for the wedding meals. Wesmashed and prepared two ve-gallon-sized buckets of crushedcorn akes. Then I helped makeangel food cakes. All the ladies brought in some-thing for lunch which makes itso much easier on the bride’smother. I took macaroni salad.There was so much leftover Isent it with one of the ladies tothe visitation for a man from ourcommunity. He passed away onSaturday evening and has lots ofrelatives in this community. Yesterday I spent part of theday sewing on my dress forthe wedding. The cooks haveto wear a plum-colored dress.Mose and Susan are witnessesand Susan has to wear a purple dress with a white cape andapron. Timothy and Elizabethare table waiters and Elizabethwill wear a different shade of purple for her dress, cape, andapron. The boys have to wear black pants and vests withwhite shirts. My job at the wed-ding will be to help prepare thechicken. It will all be baked for both meals.

The sun is shining brightlynow and the fog has faded. I stillneed to nish sewing my capefor tomorrow, so that’s next onmy list. Our snow is disappear-ing fast and the ground is get-ting really soft. We need somesidewalks from the ramp to thedriveway. Hopefully the sunwill help dry out the ground.The melting snow needs some-where to go. The children have been help-ing make butter from our cowBessie’s cream that we get fromher milk. I am hoping to get a

butter churn or an easier way tomake butter than shaking it in a jar. It is nice to not have to buy butter and milk now. Our chil-dren like the taste of homemade butter so we will be makinglots more. Everyone takes turnsshaking the jars and we soonhave a lump of butter formed.

We also have our own chick-ens, so we have eggs and canmake noodles from those. This week I will share therecipe of the angel food cakeswe made for the wedding to-morrow. After helping to makeso many, I memorized the reci- pe.

Bargain Bin’s

evolutionDear Editor, Recently one of our members put together a synopsisof the history of the BargainBin. I would like to sharethat with you: It started in 1953 during

the last phase of the polioepidemic when Susie Gil-len contracted polio. Susiereceived treatment in FortWayne but it wasn’t enough.Through generous residents,donations were raised to sendSusie to the Warm SpringsFoundation in Georgia. Three years later Susie became the rst patientat “Warm Springs of the North,” a large rehabilitationcenter located near MagneticSprings when she was trans-ferred from Georgia.

Interest of local citizensdidn’t stop just becauseSusie was closer to home.

Mrs. Frances Gillen, Susie’sgrandmother, enlisted thesupport of the AmericanLegion Auxiliary and other

women to form a branch aux-iliary for Magnetic Springs.This group collected dona-tions and provided a pool ofvolunteers who made weeklytrips to the center to spendtime working, entertainingand visiting with patients. In 1960 Susie was releasedfrom Magnetic Springs.About this time the centerdecided to close its doors.However, the local auxiliary,which had grown to a largemembership, did not want todisband. Plans for the new PauldingCounty Hospital were under-way then, and the dedicatedgroup pledged to continuetheir work, donating theirsupport to the new facility.In August 1961, the formerMagnetic Springs Auxiliary became the Paulding CountyBenevolent Society with theexpress purpose of supportingthe Paulding County Hospital. With many fundraisingactivities public interest grew,along with prots. A weeklysale was held each Friday andsoon became known as the“Bargain Bin Sale.” A Feb. 27, 1969 articlesaid $27,388 was donated toour hospital for supplies andequipment. The building onPerry Street was purchased inAugust 1979 for $30,000. As of Nov. 4, 1983, theBenevolent Society, solelythrough the one-day sales,contributed over $179,800worth of equipment, suppliesand furnished to the hospi-tal-including the purchase anddonation of the building theyoperate from on Perry Street.In December 1996, the soci-ety’s donations approachedthe $500,000 mark with thelatest donation being the“total gym” for the hospitals physical department. We are still going strongtoday. We have been given

“miracle seed money ” for anew building for the BargainBin! We had no intentions of building a new building. We

had set aside $5,000 to do re-modeling. The plans were in place when we were given thegift by an anonymous donor. We have the lot, the plans,and furniture we have pur-chased, but unless we reachour goal none of those will beof any value to the communi-ty, our faithful shoppers andthose 1960s dreamers. We continue to work to-wards our goal of $250,000that will be needed to build. When was the last time youvisited the physical therapydepartment at the hospital? Iwas there recently as a patientand there was not one pieceof equipment available for myuse. The therapy departmentis open from dawn to dusk. Our most recent purchasewas a large screen televisionand notebook tablets for theuse of the therapists and theclients for training sessions. When was the last time youvisited the Bargain Bin? Doyou even know where we arelocated? We are open Friday9 a.m.-5 p.m. and Saturday9 a.m.-noon. Donations areaccepted during those hoursor on Mondays. We also havea building at the back that youcan place items. We throw nothing away.We send things to the FortWayne Missions, Dress forSuccess; recyclables go toKoharts; T-shirts go into rag bags for farmers, paintersand city workers. If there isa re we open up to familieswho can come in and selectclothes, bedding, dishes andother items to hold them over. We are counting on Pauld-ing County for nancial support to help us build this new building. Our small plans of remod-eling were not in God’s plans.This is an answer to prayer.We thank God for his good-ness and grace. We have faith

that God will provide and weare trusting in your generosityto help us reach our goal. Just so you know – as of

The term “et al.” refers to and oth-

ers; “et vir.,” and husband; “et ux.,”

and wife.

How Ohio’s public records

law turned into a messBy Dennis Hetzel

In 1963, the Ohio General Assembly fashioned the state’srst open records law. It took a broad approach to dening publicrecords with a strong presumption that almost all records kept bygovernment would be open to citizens. The law was exactly two paragraphs long. It contained only afew exceptions. How times change. Ohio attorney Breanne Parcels noted ina 2012 article called “Bring Back the Bite” in the University of Dayton Law Review that today’s statute “has ballooned to 10standard 8.5 by 11.5 inch pages.” Today, it’s even longer. Withthe recent addition of new secrecy to the lethal injection process,we now have 29 enumerated exceptions plus 100 or more pep- pered throughout the Ohio statutes.

The denition of what is a “government record” also has got-ten narrower since 1963, and something can’t be an open recordif it isn’t a public record. The same problem applies to our openmeetings laws, as the denition of “open to the public” keepsgetting tighter. In other words, a vast amount of government activity in Ohiois invisible to citizens, and the trend shows no sign of changing beyond some refreshing exceptions. How did this happen? I think that’s a good question to ponderduring Sunshine Week, an annual, national effort to promoteopen government. The answer is pretty obvious: Despite the stirring words aboutthe “presumption of openness” that remain in our statutes, ourofcials frequently give greater weight to reasons to keep matterssecret. For example, in recent years the Ohio Supreme Court hasmade it nearly impossible to do the following: • Collect attorney fees in a public records case, even if you’reright and the government broke the law.

• Challenge the government’s claim that it won’t give yourecords because your request is “overly broad.” • Go to a government meeting for “information gathering” or“fact nding” unless the body decides it’s OK for you to be there. • See criminal case les of closed cases unless the defendant isdeceased – which doesn’t help someone much if they have beenwrongfully convicted. • Get spending detail from quasi-public agencies or privatizedservices that handle vast amounts of public money. To be fair, in some cases the courts have dealt with languagethat could be improved. That is where legislative will comes into play. The digital age also creates both problems and opportunitiesthat couldn’t be anticipated in 1963. Just last week, Kent State University provided an example ofhow ofcials exploit these trends to hide information that com-mon sense says should be public. The Akron Beacon-Journal reported that KSU is paying mar-keting consultants $101,750 for marketing and promotional ser-vices. According to the newspaper, Kent essentially ceded its re-

sponsibility for open records to a Philadelphia consulting rm byagreeing in a contract that the school would notify the companyof any records request, and that the rm would be able to redactany “proprietary” information under a trade secrets exemption. Irony alert: One of the blacked-out items was the amount oftime the company wanted to redact items. Other so-called “tradesecrets” include travel costs. Kent State’s appropriate answer should have been this duringthe negotiation: “We take seriously our responsibilities underthe law as a public university, so we will be seeking other bid-ders who are more concerned about public transparency.” Well, let’s close on a positive note. For example, State Treasurer Josh Mandel has unveiled awebsite, OhioCheckbook.com, which might be the best effortin America to help citizens track state government spending ata detailed level. State Auditor Dave Yost has announced a program to helpcitizens dealing with denials of records requests. In manycases, his ofce will issue a ruling without you having to hire

a lawyer and go to court. This is a major development thatlevels the playing eld for citizens and builds on a free medi-ation program for local disputes offered by Attorney GeneralMike DeWine. You can learn more at Yost’s website, Ohio-Auditor.gov. Those examples are good news, but they should be morethan refreshing exceptions. As fate would have it, legislatorshave a great opportunity right now by injecting real transpar-ency into how Ohio’s charter schools are spending nearly $1 billion in public money. Please consider telling them that. Dennis Hetzel is the executive director of the Ohio Newspa- per Association and president of the Ohio Coalition for OpenGovernment in Columbus.

Note-able songs and singers Last week, I wrote howimportant music is in our ev-eryday lives. I have had theopportunity to listen and meetsome professional singers andI will say this, “Most of themwere of the country genre.”I remember going to BuckLake Ranch and seeing John-ny Cash and he wasn’t evenmarried to June yet. I also

saw Connie Smith, Ray Price,Mickey Gilley, Eddie Rabbitand Marty Stuart, just to namea few. When I was growing up inthe ’50s and ’60s, rock androll and Elvis made an appear-ance on the music scene andthe rest is history. I remember going home after schooland watching Dick Clark and“American Bandstand.” Weall watched as Kenny and Ar-lene danced on the show andwondered if they had brokeup. It somehow made it seemlike you knew them. To me Elvis, will always bethe King of Rock and Roll.

He probably had the biggestimpact on the music industrythan anyone. Some may dis-agree, but he will always benumber one in my world of“note-able” performers. There was the time he appeared on �
