P P AULDING AULDING C C OUNTY OUNTY PAULDING – Two teens were transported by air ambulance and a third by EMS from the scene of a single-car crash on Road 111 east of Paulding, in Jackson Township on Thursday, May 1. Troopers with the Ohio State Highway Patrol’s Van Wert Post are investigating this se- rious injury crash that occurred at 3:50 p.m. A 1999 Pontiac Grand Prix, driven by Thomas A. Lantow, 17, of Latty, was traveling eastbound when the driver lost control of the vehicle which struck a utility pole and over- turned. The driver and two passengers were all in- jured in the crash. The front seat passenger, Riley J. Bidlack, 16, of Paulding, was trapped in the vehicle and removed by non-mechanical means. The rear seat passenger, Jeremy J. Landwehr, 17, of Cloverdale, was ejected. The driver was taken by EMS to the Paulding County Hospital. His passengers were both flown by Samaritan to Parkview Regional Hospital. The utility pole, owned by AEP, was badly damaged and power lines were down at the scene. An AEP crew was on scene for several hours restoring electric service to nearby resi- dences. Troopers were assisted on scene by the Paulding Fire Department and EMS, Paulding County Sheriff’s Office, Paulding Police Department, Samaritan, Paulding AEP and Gideon Wrecker Service. The crash remains under investigation. Alcohol is not believed to be a factor in the crash. Seatbelts were not in use at the time of the crash. Seatbelt use may have reduced injuries to the occupants and driver, according to the Post.

Oakwood Elementary School hosted the regular monthly meeting in the cafeteria before a large crowd, including two Fort Wayne tel- evision stations. Barry Vance, a graduate of PHS was given his allotted time to share a deep concern that he has been dealing with since 1982 when he was an eighth grader. Vance stood before the school board and superintend- ent Bill Hanak and in detail graphically explained how one teacher allegedly attacked him. “One day at school, the eighth grade history teacher locked the door to the paper cutting room and wrestled me to the floor and molested me,” said Vance. He went on to say, “I remember that day when I came home a scared teenage boy, who went to the bath- room, cleaned myself up, and then hid.” Vance, who is now 46 years old, never had told his wife, Dorrean, the details of his or- deal and while he shared the tragic events during the school board meeting, she was hear- ing it for the first time. Vance, whose voice quiv- ered as he paced back and forth when speaking to the school board, never once men- tioned the teacher in question. However, in a conversation with Vance following the board meeting, he said it was Don Schnepp. The veteran middle school teacher and coach died in 2004. Prior to the fateful day in the paper cutting room, Vance remarked how he had been approached by Schnepp on several occasions both in- side as well as outside of the school. “He made the prom- ise of money and even better grades if allowed to make in- appropriate advances and each time I refused until the day he overpowered me to See SCHOOL, page 2A Melinda Krick/Paulding County Progress Three teenage boys were hurt in a single-vehicle crash along Road 111 east of Paulding last Thursday.

The director needs to interact with all other departments. “This goes along with the request to be a team player,” Commissioners appoint search committee for new EMA director

Second of three-part seriesdealing with issues of autism.As childhood progressed for
the oldest son of John andCathy Ruiz, they began to rec-ognize that he was a “nonver-bal” child, capable of onlyusing two or three words at atime.“It wasn’t until he was
seven that he started commu-nicating wants and needs,”said Cathy Ruiz. “He had a lotof meltdowns when he wasyoung because of the lack ofcommunication.”Eventually it was discov-
ered that Ruiz had allergies togluten and casein, an allergyassociated with milk con-sumption. Once he was placedon diets to correct those aller-gies, it seemed to settle someof his physical discomforts,but it didn’t change many ofthe other manifestations ofwhat was going to become adiagnosis for autism.“He was diagnosed with
autism when he was 4-1/2,”said Ruiz. “He was given afull-time aid to assist withautism intervention until thetime when he reached juniorhigh.“Autistic kids are so visual.
Even though he couldn’t speakmore than two or three words,he learned the alphabet bymemorizing pictures on thecomputer. By the time he was
so amazing that he graduatedfrom Wayne Trace HighSchool last spring with a 3.5grade point average.One problem that contin-
ues to plague the young manis a severe fluency disorder. Itis very difficult for him to ar-ticulate what he wants to ver-balize.However, he hasn’t allowed
that to stop his communicationefforts. Instead, he has turnedto writing. His love for heroeshas driven him to write 26 sto-ries with hero-type characters,an accomplishment that ex-cites him.“He is my hero, my inspira-
tion,” said Ruiz. “He has over-come his disability with hisability to succeed. At the be-ginning when he was diag-nosed, it changed our lives im-mediately. But that wasn’tnecessarily a bad thing.“When I’m having a bad
day, I go in his room to talk tohim. He’s my breath of freshair,” said Ruiz. These days Ruiz is the par-
ent mentor and service coordi-nator for Paulding CountyFamily and Children FirstCouncil. She is also presidentof the executive board for theOhio Coalition for theEducation of Children withDisabilities.“It’s because of him I do
what I do. I want to help otherfamilies,” said Ruiz. “I want tosupport parents who face chal-
lenges of a child with a dis-ability. It’s rewarding to knowif I even help one family. “The initial diagnosis is
overwhelming. At that mo-ment, all of your hopes anddreams come crashing downon you,” continued Ruiz.“As soon as possible, you
need to focus on the needs ofyour child and find all you canto support and intervene forthat child.“It’s all about one day at a
time, one prayer at a time,”added Ruiz. “It’s overwhelm-ing when a parent looks a longways down the road. We don’tknow what is ahead; that’swhy it’s so important to focuson one day at a time.”
2-1/2, he had memorized 125computer words,” continuedRuiz. “Once we found the dietsolution, we alleviated someof the behaviors. He was asweet, loving person.”Ruiz said that with proper
intervention and modifica-tions, he was able to attendschool where he progressed in
Ruiz noted that when theirson was born in 1994, threeout of 500 were diagnosedwith autism spectrum. Thesedays, that ratio is one in 88,mainly because of the muchgreater awareness and sensi-tivity to the spectrum.“We are getting much more
of an awareness. There ismuch more hope for parentsand families,” observed Ruiz.“Wayne Trace did a beautifuljob going the second mile forour son. His peers supportedhim and understood him. Theentire team effort meant somuch.”

tails of the incident, Vanceasked the board to consider re-moving the large memorialrock that is near the middleschool entrance that honorsSchnepp.“I asked to have this re-

there was no comment fromthe board as to what steps willbe taken or if the memorialrock will be removed.In a telephone interview

It's true that I have left the Earth, and live in spirit here,with a peace and love I can't explain, I'm happy, have no fear.
Who I was, I still am now, even better than before.Heaven holds such beauty here with mountains, trees and more.
Please don't cry, just speak of me, the way you used to do.Make our memories happy ones, that hug and comfort you.Remember me with happiness, don't grieve because I'm gone.
In Heaven I am growing still, and my life continues on.Please don't cry because I share, all you say and do.
In every moment of every day, my love is with you too.WWiitthh AAllll OOuurr LLoovvee UUnnttiill WWee MMeeeett AAggaaiinn

DAR April meetingThe Gen. Horatio N. Curtis Chapter Daughters of the American
Revolution met Thursday at 6 p.m. at the Paulding Carnegie Libraryfor their April meeting. The meeting was opened by chapter regent Jeanne Calvert of Oak-
wood with the opening rituals and the pledge of allegiance. The na-tional defense report was given by Caroline Zimmerman. Thewounded warrior project of the US government was discussed andalso the fact that there are no patients at the Fort Wayne Veteran’sAdministration Hospital at this time. Any patients are placed at theother VA hospitals in Indiana.After the business meeting, the name of a possible new member from
out of state was given to the regent who is going to contact her with thenecessary papers. She is the daughter of an approved member.Correspondence was prepared for members who are shut-ins and
they will be contacted. A bill was approved to have repairs done onthe DAR Charter that hangs in the Paulding Carnegie Library. Thechapter was organized Oct. 17, 1975.The program was given by member, Patricia Gottschalk from Fort
Wayne on “America’s Past History.” She is a descendant of Geo.Soule who came over on the Mayflower as an indentured servant ofGov. Winslow. Her line comes down to Kathryn Irene Soule (1913Romeo, Michigan – 1996 Fort Wayne, Indiana). She gave an inter-esting history of the United States and its struggles from Plymouththrough Anthony Wayne’s defeat of the Indians at the Battle of FallenTimbers. Early colonial history had many struggles to gain the veryland that we stand on today.The objectives of the Daughters of the American Revolution are
to perpetuate the memory and the spirit of the men and women whoachieved American independence; to promote the development ofan enlightened public opinion and to foster patriotic citizenship.If you can prove you are a direct descendant of a Revolutionary

Commissioners’ Journal April 21, 2014This 21st day of April, 2014, the Board of County
Commissioners met in regular session with the followingmembers present: Tony Zartman, Roy Klopfenstein, FredPieper and Nola Ginter, Clerk.MEETING NOTES OF APPOINTMENTSRichard Lauffer and Andrew Elder, Ohio EMA; Jason
Landers, Paulding County Sheriff; Jim Langham, Pauld-ing Progress - Commissioner Zartman welcomed Lauffer,Elder and Landers to discuss options of moving forwardto fill the Paulding County EMA position. He noted therewould no doubt be a lot of obstacles. Zartman asked thequestion, “Where do we go from here?”Lauffer stated there were a couple of choices. He noted
the commissioners have 90 days (with a 30-day extensionif necessary) to select either an interim director or to fillthe position permanently. Zartman commented that unlesssomeone with experience could be located, appointing aninterim could muddy the waters even more. On the otherhand, if an experienced person could be appointed as aninterim, he or she could train the new hire.Lauffer noted the key is not to lose grant dollars in the
process. Attendance at the directors’ conference is one ofthe requirements for receiving grant dollars. The commis-sioners noted there is no representative to attend the meet-ing. Lauffer suggested a letter be written, explaining thesituation.He then noted he has most of the paperwork he had re-
quested from [former director] Mr. Shaffer, but still needsa few things.The commissioners asked Lauffer his thoughts on shar-
ing an EMA director with a neighboring county. He saidhe only knew of one case where two counties attemptedto share an EMA director and the outcome was not posi-tive. The biggest obstacle, according to Lauffer, was thechallenge of one person personally knowing both coun-ties’ first responders. The second challenge was not beingfamiliar with both counties’ area.Lauffer also noted the paperwork, demands in an emer-
gency, and tracking grants for both counties was over-whelming. He said, in his opinion, although sharing (evenshort-term) might be a quick fix, he would not recom-mend it as a viable long-term solution.He added that an EMA director need not be a county
resident; however, response time/distance radius shouldbe considered.The commissioners were interested in the training of a
new EMA director. Lauffer stated his office can assist intraining and FEMA also has on-line courses. Lauffernoted there are six sections at the state EMA office. Train-ing takes place in each of the six separate sections. TheOhio EMA will assist in the application process and maymake recommendations at no cost to the county. They willnot, however, be present during the interviewing process.Lauffer said the EMA director is at the mercy of other
agencies’ policies. The EMA director is to coordinate andmanage the EMA program for the county as it is beingbuilt. The commissioners act as the visionaries for thecounty’s EMA program, deciding where they want theprogram to be for the county. Lauffer suggested the com-missioners update the current EMA director job descrip-tion, advertise the position well, and be diligent in doingthe proper background checks before the interviewingprocess begins.Lauffer also cautioned the commissioners to steer away
from contracting EMA services because they do not qual-ify for cost reimbursement/recoupment from the state.He noted three immediate concerns for Paulding
County: Mitigation, SHSP FY 2011 grant, and EMPG ex-ercise (June 30 expiration date). Paulding County’s 50%reimbursement from the state is capped at $30,931, whichwould be $61,862 of allowable EMA expenses eligiblefor recoupment.Lauffer explained the LEPC (Local Emergency Plan-
ning Commission) is a stand-alone board. This board isactually responsible for updates in plan and exercises. Inmost counties, the LEPC requests the EMA director toplan the exercises and reimburses him or her for the serv-ices. Elder believes a full-time EMA director is necessaryto accomplish the state and local requirements.Sheriff Landers interjected he is in favor of updating
the EMA director job description and move toward fillingthe position as quickly as possible. It was noted the LEPChas a meeting scheduled for April 24 at the Latty Mer-cer/Landmark office and on June 24, at 7:30 p.m. at theOSU extension building to plan the exercise.Marsha Yeutter, senior center, met briefly with the
commissioners to update them on personnel issues at thePaulding County Senior Center. She reported hiring a newhead cook for the center. Yeutter also reported having aproblem with the walk-in freezer, resulting in the loss offood.County Recorder Carol Temple was excited to open the
bids for her digitization project (see resolution below).She indicated this project has been in the making for sev-eral years, back to before she took office in 2008.The focus on the digitization project is specifically land
records (deeds and transfers). These records are used pri-marily by title checkers and attorneys. The originalrecords in the recorder’s office date back to 1823. Theyare handwritten and the paper is very brittle. Simply han-dling the pages is destroying the records. Digitizing willprotect the records and make it easier to provide copies.Xerox’s use of Digital Magic enhances hand written
and photocopied documents to provide excellent imagequality. Records since 1990 are already computerized andavailable on line at USlandrecords.com/Ohio/Paulding.Temple emphasized she has earmarked special record-
ing fees to fund this project and that no direct tax dollarswill be used. Current recording fees for a one- or two-page document are $28, with $14 going directly to theOhio Housing Trust Fund and $4 going into the specialfund. Temple currently charges 10 cents per copy for com-puter generated records and $2 per page for a copy fromone of the bound books.The digitization project will preserve 247 bound books,
covering 167 years of recorded deeds and land transfers.Ms. Temple assured the commissioners that the recordswill not leave the courthouse during the process of digi-tizing. She noted Xerox estimates this project will takethree to four weeks to complete.Eric Baughman, Baughman Tile, met with the commis-
sioners to discuss the possibility of assisting with the tilingproject of the Jacob Farm. The county manages 240 acresaround the Jacob-Eaton Children’s Home site. The farmincludes three-80 acre fields that are in need of drainagetiling. IN THE MATTER OF CREATING NEW EXPENSELINE ITEM IN THE GENERAL FUND Mr. Fred Pieper moved to adopt the following resolu-

Business News
BRYAN – The Ohio GasCompany was first charteredas the Ohio Gas Light andCoke Company in 1914 forthe purpose of deliveringmanufactured gas to severalcommunities in Fulton,Henry and Williams counties.The natural gas was pro-
duced through a process ofburning coal with coke as abi-product which was sold tosteel mills. The coal gas hada BTU value of 400 to 500per cubic foot. In the late 1930s, natural
gas was first transported tonorthwest Ohio from the gasfields of Texas and Okla-homa.
At this time, natural gas be-came available at 1,000 BTUper cubic foot and coal gaswas phased out. Ownershipchanged in 1945 and thecompany became “Ohio GasCompany” and post-wargrowth took hold.
Today, Ohio Gas Companyserves nearly 50,000 cus-tomers in six counties ofnorthwest Ohio and employs80 people. Ohio Gas Com-pany’s Eastern and WesternDistricts provides 24 houremergency service.

Wednesday, May 7, 2014 Paulding County Progress - 7A
BRINGING BACK THE OLD?Do you remember what
you had to eat for lunch whenyou were in school? I remem-ber the likes of goulash,Johnny Marzetti, hot dogs,ham and beans, beef stew,peanut butter and jelly sand-wiches, mac and cheese andeven fish sticks.
We know how difficult itcan be cooking for our ownfamily, so can you imaginecooking for many many stu-dents? Because, let’s face it,“We don’t all like the samefood. We all have likes anddislikes and distinct tastes.”
Approximately two yearsago, school lunch menuswere eyeballed and a call wasissued by the government forschools to serve healthierfood. This was championedby First Lady MichelleObama.
Changes in school menushave been phased in, how-ever, starting next year, pastaand other grain products inschools will have to bewhole-grain rich, or morethan half whole grain. Thatincludes rolls, biscuits, pizzacrust, tortillas and even grits.
I know personally when
grocery shopping, low carb,low cholesterol and wholegrain products are more ex-pensive. I am sure this will bean added expense on all theschool systems.
Can you imagine the diffi-culty it takes for schools tomake a menu using all wholegrains, a lower salt contentand less fat? And then, “Willthe kids eat it?”
Sometimes, healthierchoices wind up in the trashcan and food is wasted. Whenkids don’t buy lunch, or it isthrown away, it costs theschools precious dollars.
Across the country schoolnutritionists agreed thatlunches should be healthier,but also say these standardswere put in place too quickly.Students need to get used tonew tastes and school lunchvendors will have to rush toreformulate their foods.
Whole grains have alsoproved a hard sell for somepopular regional items, likebiscuits and grits in the South.One school nutritionist saidthat her school loved pasta.However, to conform toguidelines, she served wholegrain pasta 20 times last year.
A Penny For Your Thoughts....
By: Nancy Whitaker
Each time it wound up in thetrash. Now, she noted she wasgoing to use white pasta andat least have it eaten.
In the Roswell, N.M.school district, tortillas areone of the most popular foodsin the area, but the wholewheat flour versions are“going in the trash.”
An interesting note is that Icompared a meal at thePaulding Senior Center to alunch at school. On a certainday the Paulding Senior Cen-ter was serving pork cutlet,cheesy mashed potatoes, cau-liflower, apple cranberry salad,dinner roll and sherbet.
A school lunch for the sameday included: whole grainchips, cheese cup, green beans,carrot sticks, fruit and milk.
Which meal would youchoose? Which one would thekids eat? Like I said, we allhave different tastes, likes anddislikes.
One question I do have is,“If all these healthy changestake place, will the cost of foodgo up for the schools? Will thecost of student lunches in-crease?” Let me know and I’llgive you a Penny for YourThoughts.
Help stop gypsy moths from spreadingBy Mark HoltsberryEducation specialist
Paulding SWCDThe gypsy moth has infested many states in
the northeast United States, resulting in mas-sive defoliation of the region’s precious trees.If you live where the gypsy moth is prevalent,you know the damage this insect can cause.
The leaf-eating caterpillars devour theleaves of many hardwood trees and shrubsgiving summer scenes a barren, wintry look.Gypsy moth larvae have been known to defo-liate up to 13 million acres of trees in one sea-son, damaging local ecosystems and killingtrees outright. The larvae also crawl on homes,litter lawn furniture and pools, and make out-door activities hard to enjoy.
The gypsy moth is one of the most destruc-tive pests of trees and shrubs to ever be intro-duced into the United States. Gorgingthemselves on the leaves of up to 300 host
species, gypsy moth caterpillars defoliate andweaken the trees that make up our nationalforests and community landscapes. Thosetrees that are already suffering from drought,disease, or pests are especially vulnerable andmay be killed by the gypsy moths’ repeateddefoliation.
Before your next move, whether it’s out ofstate or just across town, be sure to fully in-spect household goods and help prevent thespread of the gypsy moth to new areas.
If you decide to do the gypsy moth inspec-tion yourself, include anything accessible tothe insect. Inspect any article left outdoors,stored in areas open to the outside, or storedindoors but used outside. Enjoy your springoutdoors.
Also, the Paulding SWCD has a bunch oftrees for sale. Stop in for a good buy, as priceshave dropped. Stop in our office at 503 Fair-ground Drive and look over the tree inventory.

PCH ranked in top 3 CriticalAccess Hospitals in Ohio
By BILL SHERRYCorrespondent
PAULDING – The Paulding County Hospi-tal (PCH) Board of Trustees met Thursday,May 1 for their monthly meeting in the Pauld-ing County Hospital Conference Room. Themeeting began with a lengthy executive ses-sion.
Chief Executive Officer Gary Adkins an-nounced that at the National Rural Health As-sociation meeting, held in Las Vegas, IVantageHealth Analytics officially announced the top100 Critical Access Hospitals (CAHs) in theUnited States. Paulding County Hospital isone of three Ohio hospitals that received thisdistinction.
The data used to make the selections is com-piled by CMS (Centers for Medicare andMedicaid Services). The metrics of data in-clude: competitive strength, competitive inten-sity, market size and growth, population risk,cost, charges, quality, outcomes, patient per-spective and financial stability. PauldingCounty Hospital was ranked number one in af-fordability for Ohio CAHs.
Data presented to the board shows that Crit-ical Access Hospitals that score highly in thisreport all have several things in common. Forexample, these hospitals charge 63 percentless per case than non-CAHs and total time inthe emergency department is 56 minutes lesson the average than non-CAH’s.
Paulding County Hospital will be releasingmore on this achievement during a future pressrelease.
Adkins announced that the hospital is in dis-cussion with an ear, nose and throat group to pro-vide a clinic at the hospital.
Adkins also reported that the Paulding County
Hospital Foundation held its annual dinner inApril and awarded eight scholarships to countystudents for a total of $7,000.
Adkins told the board that a PCH volunteerrecognition brunch was also held in April, hon-oring the efforts of PCH’s volunteer organiza-tions including the Bargain Bin group, PCHAuxiliary, the sewing ladies and the volunteergreeters.
Adkins reminded the board that the annualhealth fair has been moved to May this year andwill be held for a week, starting on May 12 andrunning through Saturday, May 17. Pre-registra-tion packets are available at family physicians’offices or at the hospital front desk.
Chief Financial Officer Rob Goshia recom-mended a plan to the board of trustees to aug-ment PCH’s bottom line for the rest of 2014 andinto 2015 by $1.2 million.
Goshia announced that the new electronichealth record computer system, EPIC, is on tar-get for going live on June 1. This initiative is re-quired by the federal government to satisfyelectronic health records requirements forhealthcare entities. ICD-10 changes have beenpushed back to 2015 and the hospital is consid-ering options in regards to how that will be han-dled.
Chief Operating Officer Randy Ruge will beintroducing policy revisions and new protocolsto improve patient safety. Ruge said that thephysicians and staff are currently undergoingtraining on the new computer system and asksthat the public be patient as the staff learns thenew system. Additional time will be involvedwith every patient visit to enter information intothe computer system.
The next board meeting is scheduled for 6:45p.m. June 5.
New JPHS event to featureantique hats and tea
By DENISE GEBERSProgress staff writer
PAULDING – In this seasonof mother-daughter teas, theJohn Paulding Historical Soci-ety is launching a newfundraiser. They are hosting aTea and Hat Show featuringthe museum’s huge hat collec-tion.
The event is slated to start at2 p.m. on Saturday, May 10 inthe JPHS museum on Fair-ground Drive in Paulding.
“We have over 300 hats thathave been donated to the mu-seum over the years,” said KimSutton, president of the JPHS.“We display some of them inour Millinery Shop at the mu-seum, changing the displaywith the seasons, but wewanted to share more of themwith the public.
“What better way than tohave young ladies model themduring an afternoon tea? Ourmodels are Stephanie Habernand Jacee Harwell from Pauld-ing Middle School and TreannaBidlack from Wayne TraceHigh School. The girls had aball trying on the old hats andlearning about the styles ofdays gone by,” continued Sut-ton.
She said there may be othermodels, and that there is poten-tial for up to 60 hats to be dis-played.
The girls will model 12 hatseach by walking among 12 ta-bles. Different county agenciesand organizations will be dec-
orating individual tables, so aneclectic mix of décor is ex-pected.
Each table will have its ownteapot with a selection of teasavailable to try. Refreshmentswill include petits fours andfinger sandwiches.
Kim said the idea for theevent came while a group ofvolunteers were changing thedisplay at the museum hatshop. While discussing ways toshow off more of the hats theyhave stored, the tea/show for-mat was suggested.
It was decided to add theevent to the museum’s springschedule to balance the year’sactivities there.
“I would like to make this anannual event,” said Sutton. “Itwon’t get boring; we have somany hats!”
The models are excitedabout their assignment, accord-ing to Sutton.
“The young girls are so en-thused,” she said. “I remembermy mom wearing a hat, butthese girls hadn’t seen that be-fore. They had so much funtrying the hats on. I felt yearsyounger when we left the mu-seum that night.”
Presale tickets are availableby calling Sutton at 419-399-2388 or Patti Boundy at 419-399-4120. Tickets are $7presale or $10 at the door.
Local residents are encour-aged to support the John Pauld-ing Historical Society in theirmission of preserving the pastfor the future.
Any group that would like todecorate a table should contactSutton.
Young ladies who will be modeling hats during the first JohnPaulding Historical Society’s Tea and Hat Show includeStephanie Habern (left), Jacee Harwell and Treanna Bidlack (notpictured). The event is scheduled to begin at 2 p.m. Saturday,May 10 in the society’s museum.

Genealogical society members preserving family history roots
Jim Langham/Paulding COunty Progress
Terri Gorney, 20-year president of the Paulding County Genealogy Society, chats with memberJerry Flaugh and Ray Keck, who do special research for the group, over a cup of coffee in a localrestaurant.
By JIM LANGHAMFeature Writer
When Terri Gorney startedattending meetings of thePaulding County Genealogi-cal Society over 20 years ago,it was out of interest in thefact that she has a five-gener-ation family history in Harri-son Township, just outside ofPayne. One family member,Carlyle Pile, used to stand onthe street corner in Payne andsell newspapers.
“One of my ancestor fami-lies came from France and theother from eastern Ohio,”said Gorney. “The Pile familysettled east of New Haven inJefferson Township in AllenCounty, Indiana.
“In 1869, my third great-grandfather, Alexander Pile,moved back to the Payne areabecause land was cheaper,”continued Gorney. “Theylived outside of Payne withfarms owned by such familiesas the Walls and Skinners.”
Shortly after Gorney be-came involved with the ge-nealogical society, she waselected vice president of theorganization. Then, in 1994,she was elected as the soci-ety’s president. She hasserved in that capacity for thelast 20 years.
Gorney said that the pur-pose of the local organizationis to honor ancestors and tomake it easier for people toresearch their family history.She noted that better organi-zation makes it easier forelected officials. Gorney saidthat society members spend agreat deal of time indexingcounty records at the court-house and the library.
“I belong to the society be-cause I am interested in thehistory of my family andwhere they came from,” com-mented Jerry Flaugh ofPayne. “The Flaughs camefrom Switzerland by way ofGermany.”
“My mom (Barb Gorney)
did early civil and supremecourt news,” Gorney said. “Itwas a small county at the timeand they did a lot of mar-riages and other family-re-lated business in thosecourts.”
These days, an average of25 members attend meetingsat the Paulding Library on thesecond Wednesday of eachmonth at 6:30 p.m. At themeetings, members do a con-siderable amount of work onthe history of the first fami-lies of Paulding County.
Two of the society’s majorevents of the year are theChristmas banquet and theannual picnic at the RiversidePark in Antwerp. This year’spicnic will be held on June 11at 6 p.m.
When Gorney entered thelocal genealogical arena, shediscovered local resident RayKeck deep at work on countypreservation projects. Keckhad located and recorded abook of all veterans in Pauld-ing County and eventuallypublished it.
Another big project forKeck was detailing a ceme-tery book, all by old type-writer.
“I remember one night Igot a call from a fellow in De-troit; it was getting close tonightfall and he was lookingfor a particular grave in thecounty,” said Keck. “He toldme that he was in the Oak-wood Cemetery and wantedto take a picture of a certaingrave before he started back.
“I was able to direct him tothat grave over the phone andhe got a picture of it before itgot dark,” Keck said.
On another occasion, Keckwas contacted by a local fu-neral director after someonefound a stolen headstone.Once Keck researched thename on the stone, he wasable to direct officials to thecorrect cemetery and plot.“When they arrived there,
they found an empty cementbase and were able to reinstallthe stone,” said Keck.
Keck, who has publishedseveral genealogical booksconnected with the county,recalls the night he was askedto speak to a group of DARmembers.
“They called and asked meif I would give a talk at theirmeeting, which was takingplace at the Marsh Hotel inVan Wert,” recalled Heck.“Instead, when I arrivedthere, they presented me withthe National DAR HistoryMedal. I felt so honored.”
These days, Keck is work-ing on a project of attemptingto record the earliest deeds inthe county. In addition, he isassisting Glenna Doster infinding and recording thecounty’s unmarked graves.
“There are hundreds andhundreds of unmarked gravesin the county,” said Keck. “Ifwe can get names, we can getbooks and find them in thecemetery. Glenna has a com-puter so she is able to alpha-betize the graves. This is notan easy thing to locate.”
In a completely differentrealm, Keck and Gorney as-sist in doing the bird countingPaulding County. Gorney isalso a member of the Stock-bridge Bird Society of North-east Indiana and serves on theIndiana State AudubonBoard.
In addition, Keck and Gor-ney have received permissionto go into the Forrest Woodspreserve by Cecil to take in-ventory of birds, reptiles,flowers, plants and otherforms of life.
In Indiana, Gorney, whohas worked at Zeigler’s Win-dow Coverings in Fort Waynefor 33 years, is vice presidentof the Friends of the Limber-lost and has served as a vol-unteer for the IndianaDepartment of Resources forthe past 10 years.

You say potato...I say just plant ’em
plant your potatoes on GoodFriday this year, in spite of ourreluctant spring. Potatoes willtolerate light frosts and that’sfine and dandy if you got the jobdone then. But good news forthose of us procrastinators – po-tatoes won’t do a whole lot ofgrowing until the soil warms upto about 45 °.
So here we are, nearly threeweeks after Good Friday, andwe’re just now getting our po-tatoes in the ground at ourhouse. But I’m not worried, be-cause it seems like everythingelse is about three weeks behindschedule, too. We’ve got treesthat are still trying to push outtheir first new leaves. (Yes, baldcypress, I’m talking about you.)
This year, we’re growingonly one kind of potato – YukonGold. It’s a particularly flavorfulvariety that almost tastes like itwas born with butter already onit. We purchased seed potatoes,which aren’t seeds at all, but arepotatoes with eyes that havesprouted.
I cut them into pieces withone or two eyes each, and letthem sit out in the air for a cou-ple of days so that the cut areascould “heal over.” This is im-portant, because if you plantthem right after cutting, theycould rot in the ground, espe-cially if you get a rain rightaway and the ground tempera-ture remains cool.
A word about cutting them uplike that – yes, you can plantwhole potatoes if you want to,but planting a potato with sev-eral eyes will generally yield alot of smaller potatoes, whileplanting pieces with only one ortwo eyes will give you fewerpotatoes, but larger ones. It alldepends on what you want.
So it’s not too late to getthose taters in the ground, butfor all that is good and holy,do it soon.Read Kylee’s blog, Our Lit-
tle Acre, at www.ourlit-tleacre.com and on Facebooka twww.facebook.com/OurLit-tleAcre. Contact her atPau l d i ngProg re s [email protected].
Most of us are fans of phe-nology, even if we don’tknow it or have never heardof the word. When we talkabout how late the crocusbloomed this year as com-pared to last, that’s phenologyat work.
“Knee-high by the Fourthof July” when talking aboutcorn is another example ofphenology, and saying thatspring is imminent when thered-winged blackbirds returnis too. Observing environ-mental signs that are affectedby the climate can make forsome very interesting tabletalk.
We hear a lot of it this timeof year, due to the changingof the season from winter tospring. The weather is alwaysa timely topic and it controlsour lives in ways we don’t al-ways appreciate. But it’s vitalto the success of our gardensand we’d do well to try andwork with it rather thanagainst it.
Around here, you’ll hear itsaid that potatoes should beplanted on Good Friday.Well, that’s come and gonefor this year and in mostyears, it’s too wet and cold todo it then anyway. So why dopeople say that?
Rumor has it that back whenthe Irish Catholics were plant-ing their gardens, they didn’t
think potatoes were a good ideabecause potatoes weren’t men-tioned in the Bible. But some-one decided it would be okayto eat them if they were plantedon Good Friday and given ablessing as they were tucked into grow.
Now they were holy pota-toes, and the Protestantsthought if it was good enoughfor the Catholics, it was goodenough for them, and the tradi-tion of planting potatoes onGood Friday was born.
It just so happens that GoodFriday pretty much falls at atime in Ireland when the groundand weather are just right forplanting potatoes. It really hasnothing to do with how good itis for the potatoes, and you canask God to bless your potatoeswhenever you plant them.
I’m sure there are those ofyou that will tell me you did

Many tax-exempt organizationsmust file with IRS by May 15WASHINGTON, D.C. –
With a key May 15 filing dead-line facing many tax-exemptorganizations, the Internal Rev-enue Service cautions thesegroups not to include SocialSecurity numbers (SSNs) orother unneeded personal infor-mation on Form 990 and con-sider taking advantage of thespeed and convenience of elec-tronic filing.
Form 990 series informationreturns and notices are due onthe 15th day of the fifth monthafter an organization’s fiscalyear ends. Many organizations
use the calendar year as theirfiscal year, making Thursday,May 15 the deadline for themto file for 2013.
By law, organizations thatfail to file annual reports forthree consecutive years will seetheir federal tax exemptionsautomatically revoked as of thedue date of the third requiredfiling.
Churches and church-relatedorganizations are not requiredto file annual reports.
The IRS generally does notask organizations for SSNs andin the form instructions cau-
tions filers not to provide themon the form. By law, both theIRS and most tax-exempt or-ganizations are required topublicly disclose most parts ofform filings, including sched-ules and attachments.
Public release of SSNs andother personally identifiable in-formation about donors, clientsor benefactors could give riseto identity theft.
The IRS also urges tax-ex-empt organizations to fileforms electronically.
Small tax-exempt organiza-tions with average annual re-
ceipts of $50,000 or less mayfile an electronic notice calleda Form 990-N (e-Postcard),which asks organizations for afew basic pieces of informa-tion.
Tax-exempt organizationswith average annual receiptsabove $50,000 must file aForm 990 or 990-EZ depend-ing on their receipts and assets.Private foundations file a Form990-PF.

The beginning of alifetime journey of stepsA close friend this week
had the special experience ofseeing a child take the firststeps right in front of her asshe was visiting with the par-ents in their home.At the time, she felt like the
most blessed person in theworld to be present for such aspecial moment.I remember when our
granddaughter, Kirsten,started walking, and also theinitial steps of our children. Itis such a historical moment,both in our lives and espe-cially in the life of the child.To think that they have justtaken the first steps of hun-dreds of thousands over alifetime; the future of thosesteps and where they aregoing to go is unimaginable. To imagine that child play-
ing in the yard, walking intoschool for the first day, walk-ing down the aisle for gradu-ation, walking throughdanger and life valleys andjumping with excitement dur-ing life’s greatest moments isa mind-blowing anticipation.I can remember one time
when our daughter was just acouple of years old and wewere walking down a side-walk together. Suddenly, shejumped on to my shoes andsaid, “I want to walk on yourshoes. I want you to do thewalking for me.” Quietly, my
heart silently whispered, “ifonly you could know whatyou are saying child. I knowthere will be times when Iwill wish that I could do thewalking for you.”These days, they are all
walking on their own jour-neys. There are times when Isecretly wish that I couldjump in and take their stepsfor them. Other times, mosttimes, I am overwhelmed athow their steps actually walkdown paths very similar towhat I was walking the daythey stood on my shoes. It’ssobering at times how, whenthey are young, they watchour steps and learn how theyare going to walk as they getolder.As we get older, each step
becomes more valuable. Formany of the elderly, steps be-come a treasure, a gift fromGod. My father used to sit on
the edge of the bed on elderlydays when he walked with acane, sometimes in great dif-ficulty.He once said to me, “Every
morning, before I step on tothe floor, I pray, ‘Lord, helpme to walk every step that Ineed to today. Give me thestrength to take them.’“Then at bedtime I would
say, ‘Lord, you helped metake every step that I neededtoday. Thank you so much,’”he would say.These days, I admittedly
realize that the journey is notas long as it was years ago.But that doesn’t bother me,because I always think of thewords of the Psalmist, “thesteps of a good man are or-dered by the Lord, though hestumbles, yet he will notcompletely fall for God willuphold him.”Obviously this is not refer-
ring to literal physical steps,but the more important stepsin life, the steps of our heartand their strength for whatmy friend, Mert, and I alwaysreferred to as the “homestretch.”So we pray for the future of
the first steps of a child, prayand show concern with grate-fulness for the worn paths ofthe elderly, and appreciateeach step we are given in be-tween.

Have you been in God’s classroom on thelessons of patience?Skye Jethani wrote a great article in the
March 2014 Leadership Journal titled“Dreaded Exams,” his recollection of God’steaching his father as a physician about trialsand trust. His father’s experience with a per-sonal crisis taught him a great lesson on “Howto be Patient.”Have you ever been in God’s classroom on
the lessons of patience? Skye Jethnai went onto say… When I was 18, my father, a doctor, learned
what it was like to be on the receiving end ofmedical care. He was diagnosed with cancer.His type was very survivable if caught early –which could only be known through surgery.I sat next to him in the waiting room before
the operation. It was odd seeing him in a hos-pital not striding with confidence into a pa-tient’s room or giving orders at a nurses’station like a battleship commander – some-thing I had witnessed many times as a boy ac-companying him on Saturday morning rounds.Instead he sat in silence with his shouldersrolled and hands shaking.
“You know doctors make the worst pa-tients,” he said.“Why?” I asked.“Because we know too much. We know the
thousands of things that can go wrong thatmost people never imagine.”Thankfully his cancer was caught early and
he survived, but something important hap-pened when the physician became the patient,when the expert became the examined. Hegained something that can’t be taught in med-ical school or acquired from years of practic-ing medicine. Cancer gave him empathy. I sawhis compassion for his patients grow follow-ing his own health crisis. Doctors may makethe worst patients, but patients make the bestdoctors.Regarding the work of patience in our lives
the scriptures say… Galatians 5:22-23 (NIV),“22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy,peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithful-ness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Againstsuch things there is no law.”
