Paulding County OhioState University educator Sarah Noggle said earlier thisweek that this years countywheat crop was not only oneof the best in history, but ab-solutely phenomenal, espe-cially with those farmers whohad over-winter stand issues.

People were a little sur- prised when they saw theyields coming in, observed

Noggle. I think most of themwould have been happy for yields of 70 to 75 bushels-per acre. This was a good bless-ing they werent planningon.

Noggle attributed thisyears successful crop toseeding rates, nitrogen useand getting nitrogen at an op-timum time and using the va-rieties.

Some of the newer vari-eties are efficient and are dis-ciplined to use more availablenitrogen, Noggle said.Proper distribution of nitro-gen at the right time is veryimportant.

Nitrogen application atfeekes 8.0 can enhance grain

protein levels, said Noggle.Sometimes it doesnt raise

Phenomenal crop of wheat reported

the yield but many times itdoes. Feekes 8.0 is when the

plant is putting out the flagleaf. Sometimes it does in-crease the yield level.

There have been a lot of right things that have cometogether this year, continued

Noggle. The wheat has been basically disease free from powdery mildew, leaf rust,

Stagonospora leaf blotch andseptora glume blotch.

Noggle credited the coolJune for some of this yearsresponse. She noted that cooltemperatures in June can helpincrease the yield. Theywerent above threshold thisyear. Because it was cool, itled to less disease this year.

Wheat is the most widely

grown food crop in the state.Low prices and major pro-duction problems from severewinters in certain areas havelimited the production onmany grain farms.

When we have one of those rare dry springs withlow disease levels followed

by a cool June, the yields of some fields have reached 120

bushels per acre or more,commented Noggle.

Because these growingseasons are rare, we shouldmanage for the more normalweather, stated Noggle. It isthe weather that usually pre-vents us from taking advan-tage of high management in-

puts such as high seedingrates and extra nitrogen.

Feature WriterGROVER HILL Earlier this week,Paulding County Sheriff Jason Landers saidthat he is a little hesitant so far about movingahead with restoring the county jail, not be-cause he hasnt had favorable response about

the possibility at pulse meetings, but because

of the lack of attendance.Landers told those attending a meeting atGrover Hill on Friday that he has had fairlystrong support from those attending a series of meetings at local fire stations.

The problem is that the levy that shut downthe jail six years ago was a sound defeat. Wehad 3,934 citizens voting against the jail at thattime, Landers said. If I have 80 or 90 peopletotal attend these meetings, it doesnt tell memuch about the 4,000 out there who votedagainst it six years ago.

The defeated levy was a 2.5-mill current ex- pense levy for the operation of the jail and other county expenses at the time.

Landers said that these are different times;none of the current commissioners were in of-fice at the time. But he said that he would like

to have a stronger indication of what voters arethinking before going on with the initiative toreopen the facility.

The sheriff hosted evening sessions onThursday at Auglaize and Crane Township firedepartments and Grover Hill and Scott onFriday. This week, meetings were at Pauldingand Antwerp on Monday and Oakwood andPayne on Tuesday.

Landers said at Grover Hill that he is consid-ering putting an operating levy on the ballot this

November, if there is enough sentiment to war-rant it. The sheriff said that plans would be for around a 1-mill operating levy that would gen-erate a little more than $400,000 a year.

He noted that actual operational costs would be over a $250,000 increase per year adding just eight full-time employees, and over

$400,000 if they go back to the staffing levelthat was in place in 2008, but there is uncer-tainty about the future.

What is the cost of running a jail going to bein five years? said Landers at Grover Hill.What is the economy going to be at that time?

Jim Langham/Paulding County ProgressSheriff Jason Landers addresses residents

attending a public meeting last week at Grover Hill. The sheriff hopes to gauge public supportbefore deciding whether to try a levy to re-open the county jail.

Nantz was taken into cus-tody without incident andcharged with domestic vio-lence, a fourth degree misde-meanor. Nantz was booked inthe Paulding County Jail andlater posted bond for $2,570.He was scheduled to be ar-raigned Monday, July 21 inPaulding County Court.

I cannot tell you howmuch I appreciate law en-forcement and first respondersin this region. These peopleare willing to stop what theyare doing wherever theyre atand bring their skill and re-

sources at a moments notice,said Landers. Our goal giventhese circumstances is that noone gets hurt, including thesuspect, and that was the re-sult here. Our area firefight-ers, EMS personnel and lawenforcement are topnotch andthe citizens should be proud of them.

PAULDING The oldBarnes Hotel lot may soon beowned by a private citizenrather than the Village of Paulding. At Mondays meet-ing, council unanimously

passed Ordinance No. 1483-14, a legal notice that will berunning in local newspapersfor the next five weeks. Thevillage will be accepting sealed

bids for the sale of the real es-tate known as the BarnesHotel property located at 110S. Williams St. in Paulding.

Also on Monday, PauldingVillage Council discussed a

persistent water leak, mosquitospraying and parking in thenew county lot.

The hotel property is to besold and conveyed to the high-est bidder on the followingterms:

Bids must be in a mini-mum amount of $8,000.

The successful bidder andthe Village of Paulding willeach pay one-half of the cost of replacing the sidewalk in frontof the property on SouthWilliams Street.

Ten percent of the pur-chase price is to be depositedwith the bid by certified check,and the balance is to be paid tothe finance director of the vil-lage within 30 days after theacceptance of the bid by thecouncil.

The successful bidder for the property must agree inwriting, to comply with all or-dinances of the village that per-

tain to possible uses for saidreal estate.

If there are any questions, please contact village adminis-trator Harry Wiebe at 419-399-2806.

There was some discussionat the meeting regarding thewater main break at the corner of Williams and Baldwinstreets. This leak was reportedat the end of last winter. Thewater line was scheduled to berepaired on Monday, May 12,and it is evident, from the birds

bathing in the huge puddle of water, that the leak still exists.

Wiebe told council that theyhave isolated the problem andidentified the valves that needto be shut off to make the re-

pairs. Wiebe stated that thecontractor has been notifiedand is ready to complete the re-

pairs, but at this time, villageemployees are involved withother scheduled tasks. As soonas time permits, affected resi-dents will be notified and re-

pairs will be completed.There was a question about

the use of the parking lot acrossthe alley from the village of-fices as signs have been postedstating Courthouse ParkingOnly. The village owns a 20-foot-wide strip of this parkinglot so it was noted by Mayor Greg White that once this areais paved, there will be areasmarked for village use.

GROVER HILL AGrover Hill man was arrestedfollowing a four-hour con-frontation with law enforce-ment officers last week near Grover Hill. A woman es-caped from the scene withoutinjury.

According to Sheriff JasonLanders, at approximately5:25 p.m. on Thursday, July17, deputies were dispatchedto 1783 Road 151, Grover Hill, for a domestic situation.

A female caller, via 911, ad-vised the communications of-ficer that her husband, DanielL. Nantz, age 56, had a gunand threatened her, and shewas locked in a room.

The initial deputies onscene were able to extract thefemale from an upstairs win-dow using a ladder.

A perimeter was establishedonce the female was out of harms way, and the PauldingCounty Sheriffs OfficeSpecial Response Team wasactivated. Additional man-

power and resources werecalled in from Van WertCounty Sheriffs Office aswell as Allen County, Ohio,Sheriffs Office, as the scenewas treated as a barricadedsubject with a firearm.

After approximately four hours of attempting to makecontact with Nantz, he began

Grover Hillwill be celebrating their an-nual Summerfest again thisyear at the Grover HillWelcome Park thanks to agroup of local citizens con-sisting of the park board,Lions Club, ball association,

We can only take a guess rightnow.

The county currently pays aset rate of $62,500 per quarter ($250,000 annually) toPutnam County to house our

prisoners in their jail.Using an open and honest

approach, Landers wasstraightforward in telling vot-ers everywhere that housinginmates in Paulding Countywas going to cost more up-front than sending them toother facilities. But he alsostressed that money that isnow leaving the county willalso come back to the county.

There will be 8-12 newfull-time jobs and a host of

part-time jobs needed to re-open, said the sheriff. Wewill spend more money here;they will pay their income taxhere and hopefully live here.Hopefully all of that econom-ic impact will offset the addi-tional cost of operating a jail.

We are a union shop thatnever closes and will have twocontract negotiations withinthe next five years. Thatmakes projections a little moredifficult, continued Landers.

I project that if we were toopen the jail, it would take atleast a year to get it open,continued the sheriff.

We would have to trainworkers, do inspections, makesure its back up to standardsand look at anything else itwould take to properly openit, added Landers. Somethings may have changed be-cause of the time that haselapsed (six years) since the

jail was open.In a show of hands at the

close of the meeting, nearly100 percent of those in atten-dance indicated support for re-opening the jail. Landersnoted that in his first meetingsat Auglaize, Crane Townshipand Grover Hill, the responseof those attending was over-whelming in favor of reopen-ing.

The commissioners and Iwill have a long meeting fol-lowing these meetings andwill discuss the matter inlength at that time, saidLanders.

In Grover Hill

Much to offer at Summerfest

By NANCY WHITAKER Correspondent

At two separate meetings heldTuesday, July 15, patrons of Lattyand Scott post offices heard the re-sults of a recent survey.

In April 2013, the U.S. PostalService made some cost-cuttingmeasures to its Melrose, Grover Hill,Cecil and Haviland locations. Other post offices remained in jeopardy of either being closed, hours of opera-tion trimmed, getting mail boxes, re-locating the post offices to a businessor residents going to another post of-fice to get their mail.

Recently, Latty and Scott postalcustomers received surveys about thefuture of their post offices. Publicmeetings were announced at each lo-cation. The meetings were conductedby Katrina Poxson, post office oper-ations manager, and Greg Bays of

the Lima Post Office.The Latty Post Office meeting,

which was held at noon, was attend-ed by 12-15 interested residents. InLatty, 85 surveys were given outwith 42 being returned. The resultswere:

79 percent wanted to keep the post office with reduced hours

8 percent preferred general de-livery

2 percent wanted it to be locatedin some type of business.

The decision was made to reducethe Latty Post Office hours to twohours a day and keep regular hoursthe same on Saturdays.

Following a 30-day notice, thenew hours at Latty will be 2-4 p.m.weekdays and 7:30-11:15 a.m.Saturdays. However, the lobby willremain open for mail pick-up 24hours per day, seven days a week.

The Scott Post Office held itsmeeting at 2 p.m. July 15 with ap-

proximately 12-15 attendees and thesame postal workers who, in turn,explained the results of Scotts sur-vey.

In the Scott area, 200 surveys were passed out and 76 were completed.The results were:

90 percent wanted realignmentof hours

7 percent preferred delivery op-tion

3 percent made no selection.Overwhelmingly, Scott residents

wanted to keep their post office in-tact even with reduced hours.

Following the approximate 30-daynotification period, the Scott PostOffice will be open from noon-4

p.m. weekdays and 9:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m. on Saturdays. Its lobby, too, willremain open for 24 hours a day,

seven days a week.The administrative post office for

Paulding County will be Paulding,and Van Wert will be the administra-tive office for Van Wert County.

Poxson disclosed in her statementthat within the past decade, thosewho pay their bills online, bank on-line, shop and even send greetingcards online have increased from ap-

proximately 5 percent to a whopping51 percent.

She said, We base these decisionson closings and hours on post officeusage, customers and especially rev-enue. Remember to spend your money and mail your postal deliver-ies from your own home post office.

Some post office locations may besmaller, but have more revenue com-ing in and therefore have the oppor-tunity to be open longer hours.

Most postmasters have either

taken an early retirement or could beoffered a lower-paying job than whatthey had. Poxson said that the postoffices have positions open for part-time workers and to check the postalservice website.

One attendee at a meeting stated,It seems as if we lose our post officein our towns, we lose our identity asa community and as people. Whenyou order something to be deliveredanymore, you have to have a mailingaddress and a billing address. If theydont match up, then they wont de-liver. That is why it is best we try andkeep our post offices located in our own towns.

At least for the time being, the lit-tle post offices are somewhat safe inthat they will remain open. In themeantime, expect more surveys andmore budget cutting from the U.S.Postal Service.

MAIN STREET AND THE PAYNEBRANCH LIBRARY As the second branch of the Paulding CountyCarnegie Library system, the Payne BranchLibrary opened in 1996 as a direct result ofthe discontinuing of State of Ohio bookmobileservice in December 1994. Families still sharethe stories of their children and the impact theBookmobile had on their lives. The gift of books being delivered to theircommunity was priceless. So, when Paynewas faced with losing this access to books,concerned citizens formed the Friends of thePayne Branch Library. They worked tirelesslytowards securing a brick and mortar branchfor their small town and once a buildingwas obtained (thanks to a local family who

provided the building for the lifetime of the branch library) they were able to join thePaulding County Carnegie Library system. The main library received no additionalfunding from the state when this branchopened and had to once again tighten the

budget belt so this new library family membercould provide the best possible service to theresidents of Payne. I love this branch library. If I were towrite a novel about a small town, the publiclibrary would be either nestled in a charmingneighborhood or smack dab on Main Street like the Payne Branch Library. When I hear the trains come through Payne,my heart utters. I see a train rambling throughsmall-town America as a romantic dream oftravel and adventure even though the freighttrains running through Payne are carrying

Americas commerce and farm harvests andnot passengers. Trains are as much a part of the picture of small town America as the small-town library.

Located at the intersection of State Routes49 and 500, the library is like a bookend tothe west side of the main downtown block.The bright white of the building, accented by

maroon awnings is charming and welcoming.It is at this small branch library where localsgather in the morning to read the newspaperand children hop off their bikes in the summereagerly waiting for a new adventure found ina book or movie. It is the small town library that providesaccess to citizens to information that they mayneed to make decisions in their lives, a qualitycollection of materials, high-speed computeraccess and programs for citizens of all ages at no charge. Small town libraries have often beenreferred to as the heartbeat of thecommunity. That is probably because thelibrary seems alive. There is a rhythm to thelibrary a pulse of activity. On most daysyou will nd a variety of ages working oncomputers, reading magazines, studying,

perusing the collection, borrowing materials,returning materials. There is something foreveryone at this branch. Branch manager Suzi Yenser has beenrecently joined by her assistant, libraryclerk Laina Gross. These two young womenenthusiastically plan compelling library

programs and activities. The Friends of the Payne Branch Libraryis an active group who provides funding forthe maintenance of the storefront building,

programs and other much appreciated supportfor branch activities. The library is funded by the county libraryand is one of three brick and mortar

branches. The branch is located at 101 N.Main St. (corner of Ohio 500 and Ohio 49).

Hours are Monday and Tuesday, noon-7:30 p.m.; Wednesday-Friday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m.; andon Saturdays from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. The branchuses the same library card as all librarylocations in the county. For more information call the Payne BranchLibrary at 419-263-3333. See you at thelibrary, and do not forget to wave at the train!

Take the politicsand politiciansout of education

By Brian GerberSuperintendent, Western Buckeye ESC

Educators should drive educational policy, not politicians.Education in America has been under constant attack since

politicians started to drive educational policy in this country.Every decision governing education is made with politicalagendas in the forefront. How many of these politicians are

putting students above their own political advanced agendas.I bet the percentage is fairly high. Instead of politicians playing politics, they really needto study effective educational models if they truly want toimprove education. You need to study the best in order to

be the best. Wouldnt that make sense? Instead you have politicians believing they are the experts in creating modelsof excellence. Dont get me wrong, we have some good

politicians, but the good ones are in the minority. The goodones arent legends in their own minds. They actually careabout students and high quality education. One of the most highly effective educational systems in theworld is in Finland. Wouldnt you think if politicians wantedto improve education, they would study Finlands modela little bit. In Finland, a culture of reading exists in which

parents begin developing the skill in their children at a veryyoung age and preschool programs emphasize socialization,the development of interpersonal skills, social responsibility,

play, and reading. In the United States, schools are heldsolely responsible for a childs academic progress. Schoolsare being judged by standardized tests given during one week of the school year. One snap shot in one week is supposed todetermine the students academic progress. That is completefoolishness! Thats like saying you are going to judge thesuccess of a football team during one week of the season. Ifthey win during that one week, then the season is a success.If they lose during that week, then the season is a failure.What about the other nine weeks of the season? Do theycount? Passing judgment on schools, students, and teachersduring one week of standardized testing is ridiculous. Letsmake sure we get all this information in the newspapers sothe public can see if we were losers or winners. In Finland, standardized tests are nonexistent, schools arenot ranked or rated in any way, and the idea of evaluatingteachers based on student test scores would be viewed asludicrous. In America, students are tested to death in thename of school accountability. Policy-makers are developingnew ways to rank schools all the time, and state law has

been passed which mandates that teachers will be evaluatedand paid with an eye towards student performance on astandardized tests. If a football team goes 9-1 and the coachis evaluated during the week of the only loss of the year, arewe going to say he and the team is a failure? Absolutely not!Success and growth should be evaluated over the course ofan entire season, not just one game or one week. Studentsshould not be pigeon holed into one week of standardizedtesting that will determine their labeling as a success orfailure. In Finland, educators drive educational policy. Charterschools are nonexistent because they are viewed asineffective. In the United States, nearly all educationaldecisions are made by politicians. Educators are invited to

participate only after policies have failed. They want theinput of educators to x the problem that was created by theunquali ed. People in the United States who were educated

prior to the days of politicians taking over our educationalsystem, turned out to be highly intelligent and productivecitizens. We just need to put some common sense back intoeducation and let the people who live it and breathe it ona daily basis have some input on educational policy. Thiswould be in the best interest of our schools and students. Brian Gerber is a guest columnist for the Paulding County

Progress. The opinions stated are those of the writer, and do not necessarily re ect that of the newspaper.

Poison hemlock or wild carrot?By Mark HoltsberryEducation specialist

Paulding SWCD This invasive weed isa member of the carrotfamily, so it shares manycharacteristics with otherweeds found in Ohioincluding native wild carrot,also called Queen Anneslace. The hemlock has abiennial (two year) life cycle. Poison hemlock may bedistinguished from wildcarrot owers by looking atthe stem. Poison hemlock haspurple spots or blotches an nohairs along the ower stem.Wild carrot has blotches andis usually covered with hairs.All growth stages of poisonhemlock have bluish-greenleaves that are fern like andwild carrot has more roundedthat sharp pointed leaves.Poison hemlock is a highlyvisible plant reaching fiveto seven feet tall this time ofyear. The favored location isalong streams, ditches andold barn lots although it canbe found about anywhere. There is an odor to the plantthat is sometimes describedas mousy, which is likefinding a mouse nest andthe odor that follows. Also,

clusters of tiny white owersare borne on structures calledumbels (look like upside-down umbrellas) on the upper

part of the owering stalks.Flowering season will lastfrom now through August. True to its name, the plantis moderately to highly

poisonous to cattle, horses,swine and sheep. The mosttoxic parts of the plant areroots and seed. Affectedanimals show signs withinhours of eating it. Mostanimals do not eat it otherthan nibbling on the leaves.To create a toxic conditionrequires cattle to eat one ortwo pounds of the material.The risk to animals should

be minimal unless they havenothing else to eat. Symptomsinclude nervousness ,trembling, incoordination anddeath in some cases. Pregnantcows that graze poisonhemlock may experience

birth defects in their calvessuch as cleft palate and spinalabnormalities. The criticaltime in the pregnancy forcattle is 40 through 70 days. Poison hemlock is alsotoxic to people who touch the

plant. Care should be used ifremoving by hand as some

individuals have reported becoming sick after workingin and around it. Poisonhemlock spreads by seed,which may be distributed by

birds and rodents. It is bestto control while in the rosettestage, particularly in the fall.However, control at this timeof year will prevent additionalseed production. Control or eradication caninclude mowing and tilling.Mowing should be done in the

bloom stage. Using selectiveherbicides (2,4 D), dicamba,crossbow or non-selectiveherbicides such as glyphosate(Roundup) Glyphosateappears to work the best. Itcan be eradicated by applyingany of these herbicides earlyin the year. Every effortshould be made to minimizeseed production. Anotherrecommended control is touse Remedy Ultra, Tordon22k or Grazon P+D before

poison hemlock bolts in theearly spring. It may alsocontrol it in the fall in therosette stage. I have seen andalso mowed hemlock at the

Nature Center, so be aware ofwhat you are touching. Havea safe and wonderful walkthis summer.
