PAULDING In what has been billed as thelargest construction project for the Village ofPaulding, the $10 million water plant is up andrunning, producing what water and wastewatersuperintendent Mike Winners calls the best-tast-ing water in the area. The new plant went onlineJune 13.
It was the biggest project I ever tackled andnow that it is competed and knowing the publicis protected with fresh water, it was worth all thehard work knowing the benefits it will bring tothe village, said Winners.
With the Environmental Protection Agency(EPA) mandating the removal of the old plantthat had been in use for 50 years and the con-struction of a new plant, the village council ap-
proved to start the process some five years ago.Construction for the new plant began on April10, 2012.
The new plant is a microfilter, reverse osmo-sis process offering the best state-of-the-arttechnology in the current water industry.
This is a unique process with few communi-ties using this process that requires such fewchemicals, commented Winners.
Prior to the new plant going online, the for-mer process at the old facility was quite crude.For nearly nine years, Winners instituted aschedule of flushings in order to prevent thewater from being unacceptable. A series of can-cer-causing chemical compounds that wouldmake contact to chlorine would cause tri-
halomethanes, forcing dangerous levels in thewater.
In order to deal with our problems we wouldhave a weekly flushings when fire hydrantswould be flushed to alleviate the issues. Thiswent on for nine years. Obviously, the new

From Staff ReportsFor countless generations, students
have been used to their homework,projects and tests being judged on ascale of A to F. Now, the State of Ohiohas turned the tables on the schools.Last week, the state issued newly de-signed School Report Cards thatgives letter grades.
With the new reports, covering the2012-13 school year, school districts
and individual buildings no longer re-ceive labels like Excellent orContinuous Improvement to de-scribe achievement and performance.
Overall, it appears that the threelocal school districts still enjoy highlevels of success, but there are morethan a few Cs, Ds and Fs scatteredthroughout the district and building re-
ports. The new grading system meansthat its sometimes difficult to com-
pare this years rating against old re-port cards. School administrators willbe taking a deeper look at how anywhy they are lacking in some areasand how they can meet, and exceed,the new standards.
This years report cards list lettergrades in four areas: Achievement,Progress, Gap Closing and Graduation
Rate.The first component, Achievement,measures absolute academic achieve-ment compared to national standardsof success.
Antwerp Local Schools scored an Afor achieving 23 of 24 indicators and aB for a performance index of 102.4
percent. That score is down slightly
from last years index of 104.5, whichearned the district an Excellent rating.
Antwerp schools received a pair ofAs for graduation rate with 98.5 per-cent graduating in four years and 100
percent graduating within five years the best in the county.
The Paulding School district met 22of 24 standards set by the State, earn-ing them an A with 99.5 percent. Forthe 2011-12 school year, the district
earned an Excellent with Distinctionrating with a 98.4 percent.The ODE report card shows PEVS
earned a B with an 83 percent for theperformance index and an A for indi-cators met with a 91.7 percent. Gapclosing rated a B with an 80.1 percent.

begin duties on Sept. 5.PCED has scheduled a
meet-and-greet for 4:30-6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 3at Three Brothers inPaulding.
The announcementcomes after a search
process that lasted morethan three and a halfmonths. Thirteen individu-als applied for the director
position. The final candi-
dates went through numer-ous interviews before theboard voted to hire Zielkefor the job on Aug. 20.
Im excited. Its going tobe a challenge, but Im upfor that, Zielke said in a
phone interview.He had served as a PCED
board member for severalyears but resigned in orderto apply for the directors
position.Zielke said he made the
move because I wanted tomake sure we growPaulding County economi-cally. Among his initial
goals are filling empty retailspaces, working with vil-lage councils and business-es to fill vacant storefronts,update the PCED websiteand list available properties,and hold training meetingsfor small businesses.
He also wants to look intodifferent grant programs for
possible funding opportuni-ties.
Randy Derck, PCEDboard president, said thatZielke stood out becausehes local, PauldingCounty, he knows a lot of
people, he knows the politi-
cians we need to talk to.Hes very excited and veryenergetic and full of ideas.
This is a great place tolive, Zielke said about thecounty. He points to thenew U.S. 24, railroad ac-
cess, available real estatefor plant construction, af-fordable living, and afford-able tax base as conducivefor future growth and devel-opment.
Better cell phone service,Internet connectivity andmore residential housingare some items that need to
be addressed, he said.Theres a lot of pieces ofthe puzzle to pull together.
Zielke currently com-mutes to his job as a grainmerchandiser at CentralStates Enterprises inMontpelier, Ind. He has ex-
tensive experience in agri-business, sales and service,and operated Zielke FarmService Inc. for more than20 years.

28 warnings.Out of the six citations is-
sued, deputies made twofelony drug arrests. A separatefelony arrest was made duringthis blitz on a sex offender thatwas noncompliant.
Landers continued, I amvery happy with these statis-tics. Having no school bus vio-lations means drivers inPaulding County are conscious
about our kids going back toschool. My deputies did an ex-cellent job being alert duringtheir stops and were able totake drugs off the street, whichalso makes this a safer envi-ronment for our youths.
The sheriff said the supportof the three school districts andtheir superintendents was phe-nomenal.
I chalk this up as a verysuccessful day of being proac-tive in law enforcement. Wewere able to interact with thekids in a positive manner, andtake some drug users off thestreet all at the same time.
Look for more days like this tohappen in Paulding County inthe years to come.

Sheriff Landers had 12
deputies riding on school
buses and patrolling inAntwerp, Paulding and WayneTrace school districts whilestudents were in transit to andfrom school. Deputies were fo-cusing their attention onschool bus violations duringthat time.
We had zero school bus vi-olations, Landers reports.During our blitz while thekids were in school, deputies

plant will allow us to flushless, said Winners.
Built in 1965, the old plantwas in total failure, accordingto Winners.
We basically had to mas-sage the old plant in order toremain compliant. But thosedays are behind us. Right now,the biggest difference in com-
paring the old with the new ishow we use less chemicals to
produce clean water.Todays program and new
system is not a scientificprocess. Basically, the idea is
to jam the water through thefilter system and all the work isin keeping the machinery cleanand functioning.
Again, prior to the newplant, the issue with turbiditylevels was ongoing. High lev-els of algae would make itsway through the ancient sandfilter system, causing high lev-els of turbidity. Turbidity is thehazy or cloudy look in thewater caused by the variousalgae particles that may be in-visible to the naked eye, butmake their way through the fil-ter into the water. With normallevels being 7, often times
when the algae would breakthrough the filter, and levelswould increase as high as 35.
Clear up until the new plantwent online, we were in viola-tion. Today, its a differentstory with nothing but clean,
better-tasting, even better-smelling water with fewerchemicals leaving the plant,said village administratorHarry Wiebe.
For the past nine months,Winners and the water plantemployees lead operatorGary Donat, lead maintenanceoperator Dan Workman, andAllan Harpster have been in-volved in extensive training.
Hundreds of hours trainingand learning the computer sys-tems as well as the overall
plant equipment, saidWinners.
Mayor Greg White, obvi-ously proud about the new fa-cility, feels it was an amazingexperience from beginning toend.
I think the way the councilworked together and then tookthe responsibility to work andcommunicate with the EPAand other officials in order tosee the job completed wasgood to see.
Looking ahead to the future,
White went on to say, Ourhope with the new water sys-tem is to meet the EPA man-
dates in the future and have thenew system give us a competi-tive edge to future economicdevelopment.
Currently the new plant,consisting of 15,650 squarefeet includes an administrativewing, water labs, computercontrol rooms, conferenceroom, work areas, record keep-ing storage facility and rest-rooms. The plant is producing400,000 gallons of water perday with the ability to increasethe amount to 2.2 million in thefuture.
Like White, Wiebe said,The new project gives us a
better quality of water and wehave less stress when it comesto future demands. The new
plant advances our communityto a higher level and better po-sitions us when it comes toeconomic development.
In order to appreciate and re-member the former plant andhow it served the communityfor so many years, the old let-tering on the exterior of the
plant that reads PauldingOhio Water Treatment Plantwas transferred to the new
plant.

the lowest 20 percent inachievement.
PEVS earned the followinggrades: an overall A, a D ingifted, and Bs in both lowest20 percent in achievement andin students with disabilities.
Antwerp earned an F on the
overall grade and the lowest20 percent in achievement anda pair of Cs for gifted stu-dents and students with dis-abilities.
Wayne Trace received anoverall F for progress, Fs forlow achievers and disabledstudents, and a C for giftedstudents.
The section headed GapClosing measures how well aschool or district is doing innarrowing gaps in reading,math and graduation rateamong students according tosocioeconomic, racial, ethnicor disability status. Antwerp
(85.3 percent) and Paulding
(80.1 percent) both receivedBs, while Wayne Trace (67.1
percent) scored a D.I have not had the opportu-
nity to look over the achieve-ment data. All I have seen arethe overall grades and obvi-ously I am extremely pleased
with the high grades and willneed to study the reason forthe lower ones, said Antwerpsuperintendent Patricia Ross.
According to Ross, the datareceived is always a tool usedto determine progress, howev-er with the grading system sonew and this being the initialgrades received, its too earlyto come up with any kind ofdetermination.
Right now, we are noteven clear on how they gotthese grades and we need tomake sure they are correct. Inchecking from time to timewith the Ohio State Board of
Education these grades havechanged from time to time,Ross commented.
All the data received wasbased on testing performedone day in time. AlthoughRoss is generally pleased withmany of the components ofthe grading system, she looksforward to having her staffwork through the details to de-termine where the Antwerpdistrict stands and what needsto be done to improve.
This is a district situationand it will take me along withthe principals, curriculum co-ordinator, teachers, and even
our students to determine ouracademic future, said Ross.She concluded by saying,This is all going to take time
to sort out and get use to notonly for the district but for thestate of Ohio.
Paulding Exempted VillageSchool superintendent BillHanak is pleased with thePaulding districts latest reportcard, which shows letter
grades in the areas of achieve-ment, gap closing, progressand graduation rates.
Im very proud of thescores, he said Monday, not-ing the credit goes to those atthe helm before him. Ouroverall score on the reportcard was an A. We are cele-
brating.Hanak succeeded Pat Ross
as district superintendent Aug.1.
Breaking down the resultsby building, the high schoolreceived an A for standardsmet, and a pair of Bs for per-formance index and annual
measurable objectives.The middle schools resultswere less than appealing.While earning a B in perform-ance index and a C in stan-dards met, there were two Dsfor overall value-added andfor gifted value-added, plusthree Fs for annual measura-
ble objectives, for lowest 20percent value-added and fordisabled value-added.
Obviously we know wehave work to do, said Hanak.We will be working withother districts to get the best
practices possible at Paulding.We will figure out our weak-
nesses, how to fix them andlook forward to progress.Oakwood Elementary split
their grades with three As and
three Bs. The As were forstandards met, overall value-added and for annual measur-able objectives. The Bs wereearned for performance index,disabled value-added andlowest 20 percent value-added.
Paulding Elementary per-formed extremely well, withfive As and a single B. The Bwas for performance index.
Hanak said this new formof report card will take someadjustments. Explaining thereis a more complex nature withthe new system, he said eventhough there are six standardsused to determine districtscores, they do not carry thesame weight in the formula.
We will meet the standardsof the new rubric, he said.Were still talking about thesame things. Were going toadjust and do the best we can.
A lot of things are in place forthis now.Were very proud of the
progress here in Paulding,Hanak concluded.
This is the third time in myeducational career that ODEchanged the rules on theschool report cards. The othertwo times public schools roseto the challenge once theylearned the rules and I am surethat will be the case this time,said Wayne Trace SchoolDistrict superintendent SteveArnold.
We need to address thosewho are not passing, with
more instruction and tutoring.We are going to be hiringmore tutors who will be work-ing in conjunction with our
teachers.He also noted, Nearly 55
percent of our students dis-trict-wise ranked advanced oraccelerated, which are the twohighest ratings.
Two additional report com-ponents K-3 Literacy and
Prepared for Success (whichmeasures whether studentswho graduate are prepared forcollege or a career) will beadded in 2015. Then, thegrades for measures will becombined into six broad cate-gories, called components,which also will receive agrade. Finally, the componentgrades will be combined intoan overall grade for the schoolor district.
This will give schools timeto adjust to the new systemand focus their efforts on
being successful in all areasthat are being measured.

Elizabeth tripped and fellwhile running after the
horses. She has badly bruisedand scratched knees andhands.
Two mornings after that thehorses popped the hinges onthe gate and were happily eat-ing in the hayfield. Its likethey are telling us to hurrywith that fence so they can eatthe fresh grass.
This time it was daylightand we were able to roundthem up and head them rightthrough the gates by the hay-field. And of course we triedto bribe Stormy with a scoopof feed, so he wouldnt be atroublemaker again.
Our neighbors have been
over helping evenings to getthe holes dug for the new
posts. Saturday we will havemore help in hopes of gettingeverything enclosed for thehorse and ponies.
We will have everyone thathelped and their families over
This week my husband Joeand the boys have been busyin the evenings trimming thefence rows. We have the
posts, gates, and fence wirehere to fence in the hay field.The horses and ponies will beglad to be back on pasture
again.We put our pasture field
into beans this year. Eventu-ally we will want to put it
back into a hay-field. Wewere going to put corn in thatfield, but the farmer has seedcorn across the road. Fieldcorn has to be a certain dis-tance away from seed corn.The farmer offered to trade uscorn for beans.
We had quite a rude awak-ening around 2:30 a.m. onemorning. A guy knocked atour door telling us our horsesand ponies were out on theroad. Everyone got dressedand grabbed flashlights. The
men in the truck helped bydriving down the road toshine their headlights for us.
We had them all headed forthe barn when the leader ofthe pack, Stormy, the pony,decided we needed more ex-ercise. He headed past thehouse and, of course, theother ones followed. We wereable to head off the rest of the
ponies and get them in thebarn.
It did look funny seeing thelittle Prancer (the miniaturecolt) coming down the roadwith all the big horses. Thehorses went around ourneighbor Joes house and
Elizabeth ran that way tohead them back.
When they headed back,they ran across the road andaround neighbor Irenes barnand into the bean field acrossthe road. We finally had everyway blocked off and Eliza-
beth headed them towards thebarn again. That time was
for a chicken barbecue Satur-day evening.
Meanwhile the garden isstill producing a lot of cu-cumbers and tomatoes. Wehave been canning more dill
pickles and salsa. I pulled thered beets last night.

HAVILAND Early lastweek, Quasar Energy GroupsHaviland Energy Plant re-ceived statewide attentionwhen officials from Quasarwith headquarters in the Cleve-land area, met with members ofthe Ohio Ag and Natural Re-sources Committee, includingState Rep. Tony Burkley fromPaulding County.
They were quite impressedwith what they saw, saidBurkley later in the week. Itwas a good way to highlight
Paulding County to the mem-bers of that committee. Theyare traveling to different partsof the state right now to seevarious highlights of Ohio agri-culture, said Burkley, a mem-ber of the committee.
Burkley said that followingtheir tour in Haviland, they alsovisited Cooper Foods Process-ing Plant near Van Wert.Burkley said that 10 out of 15committee members made thetrip to Paulding County to takethe tour.
We produce energy forHaviland Plastic Products,said Quasar plant managerBruce Dangler.
Dangler said that three wind-mills, two of them on the northside of Ohio 114 where theQuasar plant is located and theother located near HavilandPlastic Products on the southside of Ohio 114, help intensifythe energy effort.
Quasar Group has partneredwith Haviland Plastic Productsto construct an anaerobic di-gestion renewable energy facil-ity. Anaerobic digestion is anatural process where microor-ganisms break down biomassin the absence of oxygen.
Dangler said that the processwas first utilized in Europewhere there are more than8,000 systems today. In theUnited States, it is just emerg-ing as a key component of thecountrys renewable energy
portfolio.The Haviland plant produces
116 wet tons per day of organicwaste including: biosolids, re-gional food waste, FOG (fats,oils and greases) and manure.The energy created is sold toHaviland Plastic Products tooffset the need for traditionalfossil fuels (coal or natural
gas).We get food produce and
wastewater biosolids, a wholeline of products that used to gointo landfills, said Dangler.We take anything that can rotexcept animal carcasses. Wecapture methane out of a prod-uct and put it in an environ-ment where it breaks downrapidly in an environment thatis the same as a cows stom-ach.
We maintain the ideal tem-perature and environment forthe bacteria to work, contin-ued Dangler. Because our
product changes every day, wehave to know what we put in it
and have it approved by thelaboratory and engineering de-
partment of our company inWooster.
Dangler said that as methaneis pulled off, it runs the gener-ator. The generator then pro-duces electricity for the grid.The amount that goes to thegrid is then deducted from theHaviland Plastic Companyselectric bill. Electricity sent tothe grid from the three wind-mills is also deducted fromPlastic Products electric bill.
Another component of the
process is that of running partsof the products through an-other process for over 40 daysin the company digester. That
product eventually goes to thePlastic Products lagoon to beland applied.
That is a valuable resourcefor farmers, Dangler said. Ithas a value of $240 an acre,which helps the farmers savemoney, too.
We get a tremendousamount of produce, said Dan-gler. Sadly, less than half ofthe produce that goes into agrocery store goes out the back
door. This has all made me ap-preciate the quality of the pro-duce we buy, how much morethey have to set out than theysell.
Dangler, who tests in thecompanys lab, said that the ef-fluent from their product istested regularly by an inde-
pendent laboratory and the re-sults are sent to the EPA.
We are monitored by theEPA. Our results are alwaysextremely successful, saidDangler.
Information provided byQuasar Energy Group statesthat the most common meth-ods of disposing of organic
waste today are landfilling andincineration.
Both options pollute the air,soil and water in surroundingcommunities without produc-ing any beneficial products.The Haviland digester will di-vert 42,000 wet tons per yearof material from landfills orwastewater plants while pro-ducing clean, renewable en-ergy that can be used aselectricity, alternative motorvehicle fuel and pipeline qual-ity natural gas, stated theQuasar release.

A Penny ForYour Thoughts....By: Nancy Wh itaker
LOVE EM ALLI remember my grandma
telling me when I was little,
You should love everyone,but you dont have to liketheir actions or their ways.
I like to believe we have allbeen in love with somebodyor some thing. One of thestrongest bonds of love is be-tween a mother and her chil-dren. I guess I call this,Motherly love.
One of my truest deepestloves is for my children andgrandchildren. Even thoughmy children are all grown up,I still worry about them, prayfor them and love them withall my heart.
Then there is love we allhave for our families. I be-
lieve that you can love some-one like a brother or sister ora family member even if youare not related.
In fact, I have several galfriends who I call my sis-tahs. My sistahs are girls Ican laugh with, pull prankson, call them on the phone ifI need anything and who arethere to share my deepestthoughts with.
Do you remember the oldElvis tune, I cant helpfalling in love with you? Ibelieve I fell in love for thefirst time in Kindergarten. I
mean, Didnt we all? Atthat time, all I wanted to dowas chase the little boys
around and play tag withthem. But then, attitudes dochange!
As I grew into my teenageyears, love and dating took ona whole new prospective.Even though we may notmeet the guy or gal of ourdreams then, it doesnt meanyou dont fall in love. Whenyou do meet the love of yourlife, you get that tingly feel-ing, cant wait to see themand this person may occupyyour thoughts and dreams.
There is a photo I haveviewed on a social media thatpictures a woman waiting tomeet the right one and she
waits for so long, she turnsinto a skeleton. The captionon the picture is, Still wait-ing for the right man. But,like I always say, There is alid for every pot.
What is very interesting ishearing what kids think loveis. Some children were askedto write down their descrip-tion of love. Here are a few oftheir answers:
1. If falling in love is any-thing like learning how tospell, I dont want to do it. Ittakes too long. Glenn, age 7
2. No one is sure why it
happens, but I heard it hassomething to do with howyou smell. Thats why per-
fume and deodorant are sopopular. Mae, age 93. Love is the most impor-
tant thing in the world, butbaseball is pretty good too. Greg, age 8
4. Once Im donewith kindergarten, Im goingto find me a wife. Tom,age 5
5. Im in favor of love as long as it doesnt hap-pen whenDinosaurs is on tel-evision. Jill, age 6
6. Im not rushinginto being in love. Im find-ing fourth grade hardenough. Regina, age 10
7. Love is foolish, but I
still might try it sometime. Floyd, age 98. Love will find you,
even if you are trying to hidefrom it. I been trying to hidefrom it since I was 5, but thegirls keep finding me. Dave, age 8
I think William Shake-speare summed love up bestby saying, Love all, trust afew, do wrong to none.
Do you love everyone?Can you describe love? Haveyou found your lid yet? Letme know and Ill give you aPenny for Your Thoughts.

Birds of Paulding CountyBy Mark HoltsberryEducation specialist
Paulding SWCDThis is an article written by Homer Price, a
continuation of last weeks article.Birds of Paulding CountyBy Homer PriceJuly 14, 1970
The sora rail is a rare nester in the county.Eggs have been taken in the Wabash Canal. Aset of four end blown eggs were taken at thebutton bush pool near Flatrock Creek in 1910.
The upland plover (really a sandpiper) was
fairly common from 1920 to 1940. Theynested in the larger pastures and clover fieldsor even oat fields. The larger pastures arebeing tilled new and the clover field acreageis smaller today. Their long drawn out notes,creee-ee-ee-eee, while high in the air soundedweird. Although they were about as large as arobin, they laid four eggs as large as eggs ofthe crow. They are rare birds today. My father,W. D. Price, found the first nest I have seen,May 29, 1936. The nest was on the ground inan Alsace clover field. The sitting bird wasdragging from the nest by the cutter bar of amower.
Killdeers are often flushed along the sidesof stone roads and probably nest along theedges of roads more than they do in fields. Theroad graders probably destroy many eggs.Back when horse-drawn single row corn cul-
tivators were used, the farmers would try tosave the eggs from destruction whenever pos-sible. Mechanized farming makes this impos-sible today. This applies also to nests of vespersparrows and prairie horned larks.
Mourning doves seem to be increasing innumbers. At one time they nested in apple or-chards and small trees in the woods. Manynest on the ground now in clover and beanfields where they have a better chance to raisetheir young. Hunters who shoot these birds forsport have a peculiar sense of sportsmanship.
We still have some great horned owls inPaulding County. During the 1820s and later,all of them probably laid their eggs in the cav-ities of very large trees. It seems likely thatthey used huge sycamores as the bark of thesetrees is sleek and difficult for raccoons toclimb. The pioneers sometimes felled the large
trees in order to destroy eggs or young. I sup-pose very few people ever climbed trees thento take eggs or young as this would have beena hazardous undertaking.
For years they have used large cavities, if
available, but if not, they used old hawk, crowand squirrel nests or even the stub of a largeelm tree that has broken off after dying fromthe effects of the Dutch elm disease.
I have climbed to cavity nests in Februaryand found the two or three eggs surrounded bysnow and ice. Although this would be severalinches from the eggs, first eggs were collectedFebruary 20, 1916 from an old crow nest inthe Ryel Woods in Benton Township.
All of the barred owl nests that I have foundhave been in cavities of trees. It seems likelytoday that these cavities will be occupied by
raccoons making it necessary for them to useold crow or hawk nests as the horned owls do,or disappear.
The short-eared owl is a rare nester here.They nest on the ground in sedgy areas or inclover fields. They are sometimes rather com-mon in the fall or winter. Whether these arebirds in migration or have been bred in thecounty, we do not know. My collection con-tains one set of six eggs taken in the county.
Long-eared owls nested here in small num-ber in the 1920s and 1930s. They seem neverto use a cavity for nesting, but instead an oldhawk or crow nest. I have not seen one foryears. My collection contains only three eggstaken in the county.
Of barn owls, several sets have been taken.A pair nested unsuccessfully in the cycloneof the alfalfa mill at Payne for several years.
A set of seven abandoned eggs was so heavilyincubated that they could not be preserved,date May 26, 1940.
The red-headed, hairy, downy and flickerwoodpeckers have varied from scarce to com-mon over the years. The red-bellied was rarefor years but during the 1950s I saw severalexcavating in dead trees in April and May.Starlings took over some nests but others weresuccessful. The many dead elm stubs havecontributed to the increase in numbers of allof the woodpeckers.
Regarding the flycatcher family, the phoebehas declined, the Acadian lacks proper habitat,namely low wet woods while the alder proba-bly has increased in numbers. The kingbirdsseem less common to me while the crested isabout as common as ever. The wood peweealso seems to be less common.
The crested flycatcher usually placed asnake skin in its nest, which was built in awoodpecker excavation.

Walk a mile in my shoes
customer had railed her andaddressed her in a mean toneof voice about some food. Ofcourse, as a parent, andknowing the temperament ofthe individual, I temporarilyconsidered handing back aconversation rebuking theperson for their attitude to-wards our daughter, but in theend, wisdom took over and Ithought it was best to let it go.
After all, unfortunately,sometimes we have to suck itup and allow or children tolearn lifes lessons.
The song, Walk a Mile inmy Shoes, comes to mymind when I think of workingin a fast food restaurant. Theshouts of people demandingtheir orders at break-neckspeed, discovering that an in-gredient for one of the sand-wiches is missing andpressure of fellow employeesall shouting orders at thesame time would do me inwithin minutes.
I admire those who arewilling to work for minimumwages, with very few tips andrewards coming forth, in thehectic atmosphere of fast
I cant imagine what itslike to walk in the shoes of awaitress, but both of mydaughters used to fill me inwhen they came home froman evenings work at a nearbyeatery.
This one lady is so nice,
she always asks us how weare doing and seems like shereally cares about us.
Theres this couple thatcomes in and you can nevermake them happy, never!They are always going to findsomething wrong with theirplace setting, food and theway that I serve them. Myheart droops every time theywalk in.
Theres this man whosedaughters used to waitress.He is always considerate andleaves a good tip. You can tellhe understands our needs; it isalways such a pleasure forhim to come in.
The psychology of wait-ressing must require a lot offlex, overlooking and under-standing. When our daughtersworked at a little restaurantclose to Coldwater Lakewhen we lived in Michigan,we would never know whatmood we were going to getwhen they came through thedoor after several hours ofwaiting on people and work-ing on their feet.
I can remember one nightwhen one of the girls boltedthrough the door and said thatsomeone had left a sizable tipand told her to use it for thepurchase of some schoolclothes.
Another night, one of themcame home in tears because a
food life.I recall some time ago
when Joyce and I were in arestaurant for an eveningmeal, I asked the waitresshow she was doing. Shestopped in her tracks, evengot a bit moist-eyed and said,
Why, thank you for asking.People rarely ask us that. Itfeels really good to hear that.
Quite often we forget thatwaitresses are human beings,entitled to make occasionalerrors, who might have cometo work from a broken home,with worries about grandmain the hospital or concernsabout a relationship.
To step into a world whereone is required prompt, accu-rate and cheerful servicewhen the real world might behanding reason to feel the op-posite does take a bit of ad-mirable discipline at times.
One thing I respectfully un-
derstand about waitressing;there is probably a need there.Most people dont submitthemselves to an atmosphereof unpredictability, one that ishard on self-esteem at times,just to get away from familyand friends that are loved.
It usually indicates theneed for funds for lifes needand a willingness to do any-thing in order to earn somemoney.
With that in mind, I findmyself attempting to be cour-teous, generous and even in aposition to show a bit of inter-est in one who is making aneffort to show me kindnessand good service in spite ofwhat life might be like in hershoes.
