PAULDING - Walking into
the
Paulding
County
Recorders office located on
the main floor of the picturesque Paulding County
Courthouse you will see a relatively small room tucked
away in the northwest corner
of the building. A brightly lit
office where three diligent employees stay busy doing what
their title indicates recording
important documents and
keeping them safe and secure
for future reference when
needed.
One such document that is
popular in the recorders office
is that of various types of
deeds. The recorders office has
been responsible for recording
deeds since 1827.
County Recorder Carol
Temple has worked in the
recorders office for 26 years
and since 2008 as its recorder.
On staff and assisting Carol
are Carolyn Gross, who is a
14-year veteran to the office,
and newcomer Sarah Shuherk,
who has worked in the office
for 1-1/2 years.
As recorder, Temple recognized several years ago the importance of beginning the
process of having the records
in her office recorded in an upto-date fashion. This summer,
a group representing the same
company where Temple purchases all of her computers,
printers and supplies came to
Paulding and spent a week
transferring all of the deed
documents on file from 1827
An example of the before and after quality of digitized scanning on one early document
makes it possible to red the handwritten deed from the mid 1880s.
through 1989. Documents
recorded after 1989 were digitally recorded initially and did
not require this type of process
according to Temple.
What happened was quite
amazing. There were four people
from
the
Xerox
Corporation who basically set
up shop here at the courthouse
and they scanned every page
of every recorded deed. They
were here during the summer
and spent nearly a week scanning the pages. We stayed out
of their way and they did a
fantastic job, said Temple,
with laugh.

What a strong
library system
can mean
Dear Editor,
Some of my fondest
memories are the times
Mom would take us down
the street to the Bookmobile
and we would bring home
armloads of books to read.
Remember, Mom, sitting on
the front stoop reading them
to us one by one, by one, by
one...?
That is when my love of
books and learning really
began. I have always loved
to read. When my first child
was born, I went to the
library and brought home
stacks of books and read
them aloud to her until she
could read them to me!

my keys.
The other night, I had a
gig in Defiance. When I got
home, it was dark and I started
fishing in my purse for my
keys. I opened my car door so
the lights would stay on and I
mean I looked and looked for
those keys.
I thought, Oh no. Dear
God, please help me, I sure
dont want to lose my keys
again. Well, no luck. Those
important, lousy keys were
missing again. It was getting
late, but I had to call my
daughter, who lives a street
over, to come to my rescue.
When I called her she said,
Oh no. Not again!
I was sobbing, but replied,
I am so sorry, but I lost my
keys and just cant find them
in my purse or in the car.
She arrived within a few
minutes, got out the ladder
and again climbed in a
window. Meanwhile, I was
crying and yelling, I am so
sorry, but your mama just
isnt responsible enough to
handle a set of keys.
After we got in the house,
we looked and looked for
those keys and they were
nowhere to be found. I called

OSU Extension Educator
CONTINENTAL Three
major noxious weeds:
palmer, spiny, and water
hemp (amaranth) have
been found in Putnam
County, according to Steve
Prochaska, area agronomist
for OSU Extension.
Prochaska and Jim
Hoorman recently found
Palmer amaranth on one
farm near Continental, spiny
amaranth on two farms in the
Sugar Creek flood plains near
Kalida, and water hemp at one
site near Continental along the
road and near a corn field.
Upon further inspection, it
was seen that the plants have
viable black seeds which are
extremely small, tip-of-apen size. Pigweeds, of which
amaranth is a member, has
both male and female plants,
so the plants can cross pollinate
with native pigweed and they
have a lot of hybrid vigor.
Profiles indicate amaranth
plants are highly adaptable
and can be extremely hard to
control. Yield losses as high
as 80-90% may be common
on fields where the weeds
are not controlled. Officials
say farmers should be on the
lookout for strange patches of
weeds or even single weeds.
Paulding County OSU
Extension Educator, Sarah
Noggle has been out scouting
fields in Paulding County over
the last week.
I truly feel that if this
becomes an issue, the first
thing is to act quickly.
We need to have a notolerance philosophy on the
Palmer amaranth species.
If a producer questions any
weeds, I am willing to walk
the fields in question with
local farmers and help identify
the difference between the
Palmer, spiny and water
hemp.
I have free resources
available also in my office to
help with the identification
process. We have the means
to send in any sample to the
labs at Ohio State for final
identification or to determine
resistance to herbicides.
Please, if (you are) in question
It is easy to misidentify
Palmer amaranth because it
looks similar to three other
common amaranth species:
redroot pigweed (Amaranthus
retroflexus), smooth pigweed
(Amaranthus hybridus),
and common water hemp
(Amaranthus rudis). The
resemblance is especially
strong during the seedling
stages of growth.
Palmer amaranth looks
like many pigweed species
and can reach a height of
6- 8 feet tall. It is extremely
competitive and aggressive.
It has a rapid growth rate of
up to 2.5 inches per day, high
drought tolerance, a high
seed production of 100,000500,000 seeds per plant and
has developed herbicide
resistance to glyphosate or
Roundup and/or ALS.
Palmer amaranth has
smooth stems and leaves with
no hairs that help to distinguish
it from native pigweeds and
Powell amaranth. The male
plant has a smooth long
tail while the females tend
to be extremely prickly.
Unfortunately, Palmer plants
appear to mature quicker than
local authorities first thought,
with seed heads appearing on
plants only six inches tall.
Since the seed heads are
so small, Palmer amaranth
germinates from very shallow
depths, less than .25 inch. If
a severe infestation occurs, it
is suggested that plowing the
soil to a depth of six inches
will prevent germination as
long as the seed is completely

PAULDING The Paulding County Hospital Board of
Trustees met on Oct. 2. Robert Goshia, Chief Financial Officer,
reported that the month of August resulted in a modest income.
This is the first financial gain reported in many months. The
positive income was attributed largely to the steps taken to reduce
expenses to offset the declining payments made by Medicare,
Medicaid and insurance carriers.
The board authorized the CEO to enter into a contract with
United Allergy Services to develop an allergy testing and
treatment program at Paulding County Hospital. This program
will offer testing for 60 airborne and mold allergies through each
of the hospitals seven physician offices.
Patients found to have allergies may be able to participate in
a program to help them to become resistant to the allergy. The
program has proven successful in treating patients and eliminating
the common symptoms that allergy sufferers must endure.
For those patients found to have allergies, the physician may
order a custom formulation of the allergy source. The patient will
self-administer the solution through injection with a very small
needle. Ideally, through repeated exposure to the source of the
allergy the patient becomes desensitized to the allergy source.
Randy Ruge, CEO, reported that the hospital will be offering
a special reduced price for mammograms during the months of
October and November. The American College of Radiology
recommends that women aged 40 and over have an annual
mammogram.
The special rate of $100 paid at the time of the examination
includes the mammogram, the interpretation, and a bone density
screening test. Women wishing to schedule a study should contact
the hospital at 419-399-1131.

JIM LANGHAM
This summer as I have spent
hours and hours walking on
various trails in wetlands and
woodlands, I have become
fascinated more than ever
by monarchs. For one thing,
they are extremely hard to
photograph. They are so
squirmy. They never stand or
sit still long enough to focus
through the lens. Perhaps
the 3,000-mile journey is
what they need to work the
willies out of them.
These days, I keep
comparing their upcoming
journey to life itself. None of
us know what is ahead of us
anymore than the monarchs
do about their journey. We
dont really know which way
we will go or where we will
land. Yet, we just keep going.

PPEC for many reasons, but the two that jump out
to me personally, are 1.) PPEC is a trusted company
and 2.) Im dedicated to following through and
getting results that have great impact for businesses
and those that live in this region, stated Willitzer.
Prior to her work with the Paulding Chamber, she
was the morning news anchor for News talk 1190
WOWO where her focus was covering political
and economic news. She has covered many news
conferences and interviewed many well-known
political figures such as Governor Mitch Daniels,
Governor Mike Pence, President Bill Clinton,
First Lady Hilary Clinton, Colin Powell, and many
others. She earned her bachelor of science degree
in communications and journalism and has a minor
degree in political science.
Willitzer has also served on several boards and
currently is the incoming president for the Kiwanis
Club of Paulding and is the secretary for the United
Way of Paulding County.
Willitzers first day in the position was Monday,
Sept. 29.
She is excited to get started and welcomes phone
calls and emails for those that wish to meet with
her and start making strategic plans for business
growth. Call: 1-800-686-2357 or you can email her
at ewillitzer@ppec.coop.
Carter went on to say, This is a great opportunity
for PPEC and our members to bring someone with
Erikas experience and knowledge on board. We are
very fortunate to be able to attract someone of her
caliber to our organization. I want to welcome her
to the cooperative family.

October
Guess what Helen Treat did on her 88th birthday! She went for a motorcycle ride. Helen had gone
on a motorcycle ride with her son, Tony, on her 85th birthday and had said she would like to again
on her 88th. So Tony arranged for her to get her motorcycle ride. She was joined by the rest of her
family to celebrate this special occasion with her by sharing ice cream cake and birthday wishes.

Garden

must be plucked by hand
when harvesting, so you can
understand why saffron is
such an expensive spice.
It is normally produced
in countries like Spain and
Iran, due to it liking the
Mediterranean climate,
but its also commercially
produced in the area around
Lancaster, Penn., in the U.S.
We can grow saffron crocus
here in Paulding County, too,
and I have done so for several
years now. I have harvested
the threads each fall by using
tweezers so that I get the
entire stigma. I let them sit out
to dry and then theyre kept in
Water

Wheels
an airtight container.
Another unique fallblooming bulb is the
Colchicum, often called
autumn crocus, even though
it isnt a crocus at all. Its
blooms emerge in September,
are much larger than those of
crocuses, and stand about 6-8
inches in height.
I grow a particularly
beautiful Colchicum variety
called Waterlily and thats
exactly what the bloom
resembles. Its lavender-pink
in color and is a double, with
many more petals than the
average Colchicum.
Yet another interesting bulb
(corm, actually) that I love is
hardy cyclamen (Cyclamen
hederifolium). You might
be familiar with the florists
cyclamen, often seen around
Easter in grocery store floral
departments, but these are
not hardy and are generally
finicky once the blooms have
wilted away.
I have yet to have one of
those beauties survive much
past its bloom period, but
these hardy ones are another
story. Theyve got gorgeous
leaf forms and patterns and
the blooms, though tinier than
the florists cyclamen, are
Crocus usually bloom throughout the summer but pictured here is the saffron crocus that
remains dormant in the summer but blooms in the fall.
nonetheless just as beautiful.
Theyre a pinky-lavender
color and erupt in fall, usually
September, before the foliage.
Foliage can be ivy-shaped
and have beautiful silver
markings or simply solid
pewter. But the show doesnt
end there. As the flowers are
pollinated and they set seed,
they form the quirkiest mauve
