OAKWOOD Sometimes it takes a
new face, some fresh perspective, a
modern day visionary, to spark greater
goals and a worthwhile future. For the
community of Oakwood, the vision,
goals, and exciting future is now in the
making and the new face to help bring a
better tomorrow is newly selected exec-
utive director for the Oakwood
Development Company, Damien A.
Morales.
On the job for five months as the new
director, Morales will be working hand-
in-hand with company president Linda
Hodges and the eight-member board.
Morales, with his rare sense of enthusi-
asm and positive attitude is excited
about what lies ahead for Oakwood and,
for that matter, Paulding County.
I am here to do a job and I plan to
stay true to it, he said. He went on to
point out the positives as he drove
around the community the first time.
Since meeting with community leaders
he is now ready to move forward.
When asked what it is that excites him
about the future of Oakwood, Morales
quickly pointed out four areas. The ac-
tive group of leaders who make up the
development company, the basic scenic
surrounding such as the Auglaize River,
the business owners of Oakwood, and fi-
nally the rich history and heritage of the
area.
We simply want to galvanize and
build on what is already here, said
Morales.
In looking to the near future, Morales
feels the best way to approach commu-
nity support, growth, and business is
through events. The company will be
meeting to discuss community events
we can showcase to promote Oakwood.
If we have an idea or an issue we will
throw it on the board and attack it. Right
now its about pulling the community to-
gether, said Morales.
The development company has
worked hard over the years to bring to
Oakwood several quality services. We
have a doctor, dentist, chiropractor, and
a optometrist as well as a 12-acre indus-
trial park, said president Linda Hodges.
Hodges, who also serves as a member
of the Paulding County Economic
Development Board, approached
Morales in early 2013 about the
Oakwood position.
I told him we couldnt pay him much
but I knew he was the leader we need-
ed, said Hodges.
Morales, who remembers clearly the
initial telephone call with Hodges, re-
calls not so much what she said, but the
sincerity in her voice.
I heard it in her voice. The concern
and the commitment she had for
Oakwood. And today that same commit-
ment Linda possesses has rubbed off and
now its my commitment. Even more so
its a passion now, he said.
Originally from Dallas, Texas,
Morales graduated from the University
of North Texas with a sociology degree.
For his first job, Morales was recruited
into the financial banking and business
world of the big city where he became
an account executive for Countrywide
Home Loans.
Morales and his wife, the former Sara
Perkins (from Antwerp) along with their
two daughters, Summer and Taylor,
have lived in the Antwerp area for eight
years.
I met Sara at a banking conference in
Atlanta several years ago. Being from
Dallas and her from this area, it was a
classic long distance relationship.
However, we had web cam technology
so we were able to see each other every-
day, said Morales.
By admission, Morales confesses that
moving to Paulding County was not
easy. With a laugh he said, Im a city
boy and my wife is a country girl. I had

Kickoff
event to
launch
$123,000
Relay For
Life goal
By JIM LANGHAM
Feature Writer
PAULDING The annual
Kickoff for Relay For Life
in Paulding County will be
held on Saturday, Feb. 1 be-
ginning at 6 p.m. at the
Paulding Eagles Lodge. The
event will include an opportu-
nity for teams that have al-
r e a d y
committed
for this
year to
showcase
their ef-
forts.
As always, the ladies of the
Eagles Auxiliary will be serv-
ing a meal. In addition, Aaron
Timm, auctioneer, will be con-
ducting an auction. Those who
have auction items to donate
should have them to the
Eagles by 6 p.m. to get classi-
fied for the event. Those with
questions about the auction
can phone 419-769-5504.
This year, so far, 10 teams
are registered on the website
itself.
Local cancer activist Jillene
McMichael, a member of the
East Central Region of the
American Cancer Society, in-
cluding Ohio and Pennsyl va -
nia, has been active in the local
relay for the past 12 years.
McMichael said that last
years auction brought in
$5,840, $2,000 more than the
previous year. All money
raised at the kickoff will serve
as a launching fund for this
years campaign.
Last year, the local Relay
For Life garnered a net in-
come of $111,000. However,
the Mini Relay For Life at
Paulding Schools has raised
$57,000 in the last three years.
That source is currently up for
grabs due to school board de-
cisions concerning the matter.
This years Relay For Life
event will be held on May 30-
31, at the Paulding County
Fairgrounds.
By JOE SHOUSE
Correspondent
PAULDING Its no secret how the
Mini Relay For Life has generated
thousands of dollars in recent years
through the relay held at Paulding
Exempted Village Schools. The facts
speak for themselves. Over the past
three years, more than $57,000 was
raised by the students and staff in
order to fight cancer and to hopefully
one day find a cure. Everyone who has
been touched by this dreaded disease
hopes for a cure and the sooner the
better.
However, it seems that although the
success of the relay has brought nu-
merous awards to those participants,
and has taught students and adults
alike many life lessons, the school
board, superintendent and administra-
tive staff feel a change is necessary.
The issues are somewhat twofold in
considering this alleged rift between
school officials and the Mini Relay
For Life committee.
First, the process taken to reach this
decision, not to have the relay in the
same manner as in the past; and sec-
ond, how to come up with a solution in
order to proceed forward with a suc-
cessful relay.
For some time, the relay committee
and its leadership had been in negotia-
tions with superintendent Bill Hanak
concerning the future of the relay.
Hanak had voiced concerns to relay
committee chairperson Karen Saxton
and relay representative Jillene
McMichael and asked that they ad-
dress the concerns, which was the pur-
pose for their attendance at the Jan. 14
school board meeting.
McMichael was informed she
would be allowed to speak at the board
meeting with her allotted time being
two minutes, which is the normal time
allowed for those making presenta-
tions.
In order to stay within her limited
time, McMichael presented the relay
committees feelings and concerns in
written form.
During the process of determining
the outcome of this event, we ask that
you consider what is being taught to
our students: the importance of a
healthy lifestyle, compassion for oth-
ers, empathy, teamwork, a sense of
community, and knowing that by
working together we can make a dif-
ference, McMichael said in her state-
ment.
The full text of McMichaels pres-
entation can be read on the Progress
website www.progressnewspaper.org.
This Mini Relay is student driven
and its something they, the communi-
ty, and many school staff and teachers
appreciate supporting. We did what
we were asked to do. The superintend-
ent asked us to put our proposal to-
gether, which we did, but it seems as
though we didnt meet their concerns

COLUMBUS The Paul -
ding County Junior Fair Board
recently attended the Ohio
Fair Managers Conference in
Columbus during the Junior
Fair Day.
The 14 members who at-
tended took part in a variety of
different sessions, learning
about setting goals for them-
selves as well as the junior fair
board, how to deal with chal-
lenging people, how to make a
difference at your county fair
as well as other topics.
The junior fair board had
four senior members take part
in an all-day session called A
Step Beyond Experienced
JFB Members Explore the
World of Entertainment
Contracts. This session pro-
vided youths the opportunity
to work with other junior fair
board members from around
the state to provide entertain-
ment for their mock fair.
The event allowed junior
fair board members to explore
and generate ideas that they
can bring back to the local fair.
PAULDING A financial
audit of Paulding County
Hospital for 2012 by Auditor
of State Dave Yosts office has
returned a clean audit report.
Paulding County Hospitals
excellent record keeping has
earned it the Auditor of State
Award.
This is the third consecutive
year that PCH has won the
honor since the award pro-
gram started three years ago.
Hospital CEO Gary Adkins
said, Paulding County Hos -
pital takes their fiduciary obli-
gations very seriously. This
award exemplifies the commit-
ment that the hospital places on
presenting the community with
accurate financial records to
ensure the publics trust.
Striving for excellence in
the presentation of our finan-
cial records is the norm for our
organization as we have been
honored by the Ohio Auditor
of State in the past as well,
Adkins continued. We com-
mit to the community that we
will continue to strive for ex-
cellence as we move forward
into the future.
The Auditor of State Award
is presented to local govern-
ments and school districts
upon the completion of a fi-
nancial audit. Entities that re-
ceive the award meet the fol-
lowing criteria of a clean
audit report:
Must be a GAAP entity
without a CAFT (Certified
Annual Financial Report) that
timely files their financial re-
ports with the Auditor of State.
The audit report does not
contain any findings for recov-
ery, material citations, material
weaknesses, significant defi-
ciencies, Single Audit findings
or questioned costs.
The entitys management
letter contains no comments
related to ethics referrals,
questioned costs less than
$10,000, lack of timely report
submission, reconciliation,
failure to obtain a timely
Single Audit, findings for re-
covery less than $100 or pub-
lic meetings or public record.
We are really focusing on
caregivers this year, said
McMichael. Theres not a
single survivor standing out
there without the help of some
type of caregiver.
This years projected goal is
$123,000.
Jamie Orozco, newly ap-
pointed staff partner support-
ing Paulding, Putnam and Van
Wert counties and the city of
Delphos, said that she has
been very impressed with the
camaraderie and energy that
has made Paulding County
one of the most successful
cancer drives in northwest
Ohio.
Orozco credited several suc-
cessful elements of the local
countys relay success includ-
ing the actual relay event
which has the community in-
volved in a very big way, the
number of active teams and
the way the different teams
have promoted fundraisers as
they have continued their
commitment leading up to the
actual relay itself.
Even though it is several
months away, teams are al-
ready actively raising money,
Orozco said. We strongly en-
courage new teams to come
forward and get the feel of
what this is all about.
In addition to the relay pro-
motion, McMichael said that
the kickoff event will have
various brochures and pam-
phlets explaining the various
outreaches of the American
Cancer Society in Paulding
County, including that of the
very critical program, Road
to Recovery.
Information will also be
available concerning person-
nel that can assist from the var-
ious areas, including who their
patient navigator would be, if
they are actually dealing with
a cancer patient.
McMichael said that her
passion for involvement in-
creases continuously because
each relay seems to bring
around instances of other
friends and family members
who have or are suffering
from cancer.
For McMichael, cancer
awareness started 10 years ago
when her Uncle Roger Kneller
died with lung cancer. Her
relay team, EntouRog, is
named after him. Both of her
grandmothers suffered from
the dreaded disease.
In addition to her commit-
ment to Paulding County,
McMichaels involvement
with the East Central Region
allows her to be a part of a
relay advisory training team in
that area.
We invite everyone to
come to the kickoff this year
because there are so many
questions out there right now,
especially with the Paulding
Mini-Relay situation, said
McMichael. We ask people
to come where professionals
can answer their questions
with a good positive spin.
McMichael said that she
feels so blessed that she can be
with people to help in the
worst possible time of their
lives.
Everyone is welcome to at-
tend the Relay For Life of
Paulding County Kickoff cele-
bration, said Karen Saxton,
who heads up the local relay.
Enjoy the many exciting
booths, visit with our volun-
teers and learn how you can
become involved in this excit-
ing, family friendly event.
Games, entertainment, live
and silent auctions, food and
refreshments will be offered.
Saxton can be contacted at
419-594-2636, or contact
Orozco at 888-227-6446, ext.
5208.

satisfactory, said relay com-
mittee member Wendy Price.
Following the board meet-
ing, the relay story was the
buzz story in the area, even
making the news on WANE-
TV, Channel 15 out of Fort
Wayne. Both Karen Saxton
and Hanak were interviewed,
each stating their side of the
situation.
I feel the Mini Relay is a
great event and is a good
cause. The problem is how
the event has escalated in tak-
ing up so much instructional
time in the classroom, said
Hanak. In fact, we encour-
age our students to do this,
but we have to make
changes.
Hanak went on to express
how he has been approached
by other nonprofit groups and
organizations who would like
to have the opportunity to do
similar in house projects.
We certainly cant honor
every request that we receive
and its not fair to allow one
group to have their time while
shutting out others, he said.
Hanak reported how there
are options to the situation.
The bottom line is the
school administration and
leadership will have the final
say in how this Relay will be
conducted, if it is to be held
here on school property.
Right now the options would
be an after-school event or a
weekend Relay. In the format
that it is in right now, it will
have to change, said Hanak.
Relay representatives con-
tinue to be in negotiations
with school board members
in order to resolve the situa-
tion and come up with a Mini
Relay that will meet the needs
of both parties.
In the meantime, some stu-
dents and other supporters
hopeful of changing the ad-
ministrations decision are
planning a peaceful protest
Wednesday, Jan. 29, when the
school will have a two-hour
delay for teacher in-service.
The protest is expected to
start around 7 a.m. and last
until school starts at 10 a.m.

DEMOLITION STARTED The last part of Paulding Villages new water plant project started Tuesday morning. Peterson
Construction began the demo of the 1964 one-half-million gallon finished water clear well storage tank, located next to the
reservoir. The original hope was to refurbish this tank. It turned out that there was too much age-related damage to the tank
and it had to be replaced. The replacement will match the new quarter-million-gallon tank that was just recently construct-
ed as part of the new plant project. Construction of the newest tank is to be completed by July this year.
a hard time finding a job because most every-
thing here is hands-on. So, I had to lean on my
network of friends in Dallas. It was through
their advise and counsel that I was able to use
my skills and expertise in the field of franchise
development.
Today, Morales is a successful franchise
consultant focusing on legal matters, franchise
law, as well as investments and job creation.
When looking back on his life as a youngster
growing up in Texas, Damien tells of a visit
from his mother who happened to be in the
area during the recent polar vortex. Maybe
living in Ohio was meant to be all along. My
mom was showing me some family pictures
and she had one particular photo of me when I
was about 10 years old and we were visiting a
wax museum in Dallas. I dont know how it all
came about and I dont even remember wear-
ing it, but in the photo I was wearing an Ohio
State Buckeye shirt, said Morales.
Who knows. Maybe at the age of 10 the gift
of being a visionary was already a part of
Damiens character. And for Oakwood they are
thankful he is a transplanted Buckeye ready to
lead them to a better tomorrow.

tomatoes (chopped), green
peppers (chopped), hot pep-
pers, salsa, and cheese sauce
topped with sausage gravy.
To make a breakfast
haystack, everyone takes
whatever they like and stacks
it on top of each other in a
pile on their plate. Haystack
is one of my favorite break-
fasts. Along with haystack,
there were all kinds of
desserts such as chocolate
chip cookies, oatmeal
whoopee pies, peanut butter
and cherry pies, butterscotch
muffins, and a variety of
Christmas candy. Also coffee,
tea, orange juice, grape juice,
and milk were served.
We had exchanged names
for the gift exchange earlier
in December. After brunch
we all exchanged gifts which
was exciting to see who had
our name. I had sister,
Susans name and sister, Ver-
ena, had my name.
The rest of the day was
spent playing games, singing
and visiting. Everyone had
snacks before leaving for
home. It was a short, enjoy-
able day.
Our parents always had the
family together for Christmas
on New Years Day. Every-
one would gather early in the
morning to have breakfast to-
gether. Dad and Mom would
have wrapped gifts for every-
Happy New Year to all you
wonderful readers. I hope
2014 will be a great year for
everyone!
Here in Michigan, 2014 is
bringing us frigid tempera-
tures and lots of snow.
Around 8 inches of new snow
was dumped on us New
Years Day. It made for some
very pretty scenery. This
morning our mercury on the
thermometer dipped way
down to -14. It only warmed
up to 13 all day.
On New Years Eve, my
husband, Joe, our eight chil-
dren and I, Timothy, Mose,
and my sisters, Verena and
Susan, all went to sister
Emma and Jacobs house for
the evening. We all stayed the
night there so their house
seemed pretty lively with 21
people there.
The children were excited
to be able to stay up playing
games until midnight and
shout Happy New Year to
the dark world outside. Four
air mattresses were blown up
to help make enough beds for
everyone.
The next day we had a
brunch which was a haystack
breakfast. The haystack menu
was biscuits (cut up in bite
sized pieces), scrambled
eggs, hash browns, tator tots,
bacon (crumbled), ham
(diced), onions (chopped),
one. Such an excitement for
all the grandchildren!
Now us siblings take turns
having the family every year,
although most do not take it
around Christmas anymore,
so that takes a lot of the fun
away. Usually the gathering
is held around springtime.
It is brother Alberts turn
for the 2013 Christmas gath-
ering, but havent heard of
any plans, so it is probably
this summer sometime. It is
nice for the four of us siblings
that live here in Michigan to
at least get together in mem-
ory of our dear parents on
New Years Day. A blessed
2014 to all.
This week I will share the
recipe Joe used to make our
venison summer sausage.
VENISON SUMMER
SAUSAGE
5 pounds ground venison
2 tablespoons Tender Quick
2 teaspoons mustard seed
2-1/2 teaspoons garlic salt
2-1/2 teaspoons black pepper
1 teaspoon liquid smoke
1 cup cold water
Stir water, tender quick,
mustard seed, garlic salt,
black pepper, and liquid
smoke in a large plastic bowl.
Add venison and mix well.
Stuff into bags and refrigerate
for 1 to 2 days. Smoke in a
smoker until internal temper-
ature reaches 165.

Looking forward to a productive
2014 session in the Ohio House
Last year featured many
important policy issues in
the state legislature, most
notably the passage of the
states two-year budget. As
I enter my second year
serving the people of Defi-
ance, Paulding and Van
Wert counties, as well as
part of Auglaize County, I
would like to inform my
constituents of some of
what they can expect to see
in 2014.
One of the issues that we
are currently looking at,
addresses financing for in-
frastructure projects like
roads, bridges and water
storage facilities. Once the
terms of the legislation is
agreed to and passed by
the legislature, the final
say will be given to voters
on the upcoming May bal-
lot, where they will have an
up or down vote on whether
to approve funding the proj-
ects.
Another important subject
includes a potential reduc-
tion or revenue neutral ad-
justment to the current
severance tax, which is a tax
on drilling for oil and natural
gas. A bill brought before
the House (HB 375) would
assess a low, competitive
severance tax that would
fund the oil and gas regula-
tory program in the state,
plug idle and orphaned
wells and reduce personal
income taxes for Ohioans.
Additionally, the issue of
prescription drug abuse has
become a serious problem
throughout the state. Fortu-
nately, as more people be-
come aware of the problem,
more ideas are being
From The
State House
Rep. Tony Burkley
brought to the table to hope-
fully help reverse its effects
and scope. The House study
committees that were held
last summer have resulted in
a lot of great collaboration,
and I look forward to con-
tinue working with this
topic in the months ahead.
Finally, Governor Kasich
will once again be introduc-
ing what is called the mid-
biennial review, which
gives legislators an opportu-
nity to take another look at
the budget bill that was
passed last year and see
where improvements can be
made. To my knowledge,
Governor Kasich came up
with this idea during the last
two-year cycle. While I was
not a member of the General
Assembly at that time, I sup-
port the concept and think it
is a great way to find places
where we can perhaps save
taxpayer dollars.
This is obviously just a
small sample of what might
be ahead for legislators in
Columbus. As always, I
value your input on any or
all of these matters, and I
will do my best to keep you
informed on the issues that
are most important to North-
west Ohio.
Rep. Burkley may be
reached by calling (614)
644-5091, e-mailing
Rep82@ohiohouse.gov or
writing to State Representa-
tive Tony Burkley, 77 South

Reader supports
Mini Relay
Dear Editor,
Im sure by now many
people in the county have
heard the Paulding school
board has decided that the
Mini Relay For Life held at
Paulding School football
field track has been can-
celed.
The reason is unclear to
all the supporters, kids,
teachers, parents, grandpar-
ents and survivors who
showed up to the school
board meeting to support
this special event.
Like most, I arrived at the
school board meeting at 6:45
p.m. as the fate of the Mini
Relay was to be discussed at
7 p.m. I was very disap-
pointed when I arrived to be
greeted by a crowd of sup-
porters leaving as the board
has already heard from the
groups spokesperson, Jil-
lene McMichael. It seems
they started early which did
not give everyone the oppor-
tunity to be there to support
this cause.
I was also informed they
went into executive session
to make their decision on the
fate of the Mini Relay For
Life. If this is the case, they
did not follow the Sunshine
Law, as executive session is
only to be used for matters
involving personnel, finan-
cial and a few other matters,
not to avoid letting the pub-
lic know what was decided
and instead of opening it for
discussion.
The reasons given for end-
ing the relay dont make any
sense. Because of other
groups? Because it inter-
fered with learning? The
children usually spend the
last week of school watching
videos and not much else.
The relay teaches team-
work, the power of people in
numbers, compassion, lead-
ership, selflessness, service
to the community and etc. I
think these are qualities that
should be included in our
support of children and
school.
Cancer is something that
has touched most everyones
life in one way or another
and I ask the school board to
PLEASE reconsider their
hasty decision to end such a
worthwhile event that effects
so many.

Sanctity of
human life is
basic to respect
Dear Editor,
Since Roe vs. Wade was
settled on Jan. 22, 1973,
nearly 55 millions abortions
have been performed in the
United States. Since then,
several states have voted to
provide for limitations on the
broader law of the land. Even
if Roe vs. Wade would be
overturned someday, there
will still be women and teens
that are backed into a corner
and feel that they have
nowhere to turn for help dur-
ing their unplanned pregnan-
cies.
This is where Hands of
Hope Pregnancy Services will
be needed ... to bring encour-
agement and teach these
fledgling young mothers im-
portant prenatal information
and help them with other
pregnancy-related concerns.
Mentoring is a proven best
practice for helping such
clients who are willing to
learn life skills and how to
handle the unexpected situa-
tions that happen with confi-
dence. They need to know
that they are special, that the
baby growing inside of them
has a purpose for his or her
life. The Sanctity of Life is
basic to respecting others at
any age.
Life is dear to all of us ...
from the womb to the tomb ...
and if we want to have respect
from others, we must give re-
spect to others at any age.
Some of the most inspira-
tional life experiences have
happened to families who are
blessed with a child who has
Downs syndrome, or to those
who have the opportunity to
care for an aged grandparent
or a parent with a disease that
limits their ability to commu-
nicate normally. Only with
Gods help will we recognize
the importance of serving oth-
ers, helping all persons to ful-
fill their destiny for the full
number of their days ap-
pointed by God for them on
this earth. Lets do what we
can do to make this happen
with those around us in 2014.

In My Opinion
Baby, its cold outside
Baby, Its Cold Outside is a song with words and music
by Frank Loesser and although it is popular during the
Christmas season, it is a romantic winter song. According to
Wikipedia, Loesser wrote the duet in 1944. He premiered the
song with his wife, Lynn Garland, at their Navarro Hotel
housewarming party toward
the end of the evening, signi-
fying to guests that it was
nearly time to end the party
and go home.
Yes, you are right it is cold
outside, and undoubtedly for
me, I find great comfort
being safe and warm, sitting
next to the fireplace, reading a good seed catalog and dream-
ing of spring between short naps. But, did you not know?
Have you not heard? Its winter and baby its cold outside!
Maybe, we should take some time, settle into the long nights
with loved ones and a cup of hot cocoa or some warm apple
cider.
In my opinion, Im almost, but not quite ready, for spring
as I havent yet had my first attack of cabin fever. How-
ever, I heard from several friends that being stuck at home
for a few days really made them them feel that they were
ready for spring. However, for those of us that are keeping
track, most of winter is still to come and Baby, Its Cold
Outside.
The winter solstice occurred on Dec. 21 and we experi-
enced the shortest amount of daylight hours for the year. It
happened to be approximately nine hours and 26 minutes
with the midday sun at its lowest point in the sky. Since that
date in December, the day length is getting longer and the
sun is slowly creeping higher in the sky. Somethings com-
ing.
It is the spring equinox, which will occur on Thursday,
March 20. Days are becoming longer and nights are getting
shorter, as the spring equinox, the day of equal daylight and
darkness, occurs for those of us living in Ohio. There is a
part of me that says, Hang on a minute. That means that
there will be trees to trim, lawn to mow and a garden to till.
Whew! I think I need a cold drink of water, because here
comes spring.
No matter if sugar plums are dancing in our heads, telling
those we love Baby, Its Cold Outside or dreaming of the
buzzing of the bees in the springtime, it comes around again
and again here in Northwest Ohio. The seasons change and
so do I. In my opinion, I am always looking for that first
snow, first robin, first warm day, and first leaf to change
color.
I am also looking forward to that big season change when I
leave this earth for my eternal home in Heaven. I do hope to
see you in church this Sunday; we need to talk because we
have something in common.

time spring was starting in
earnest, I had seedlings in
most of my containers. Later,
I planted the seedlings out in
the garden and that was that.
I have found that the easi-
est containers to use are the
opaque plastic gallon-sized
milk jugs. Take a knife and
make a horizontal cut about
four inches from the bottom,
leaving a one-inch hinge con-
necting the top to the bottom.
Poke holes for drainage in the
bottom of the jug.
Place the planting medium (I
use seed starter soilless mix) at
a depth of about three inches.
Wet the mix before sprinkling
it with seeds. Sprinkle the
seeds across the top and then
cover with dry mix, unless the
seeds require light for germina-
tion. In that case, do not cover
with soilless mix.
Tip the top of the milk jug
back over the bottom and use
duct tape to seal the top to the
bottom along the cut. Use a
permanent marker to label
your jugs and inspect them
for readability as the weeks
pass, as sunlight may fade
them and you wont be able
to read your labels.
Place your jugs outside in a
location that receives at least
six hours of direct sunlight
each day. DO NOT RE-
PLACE THE CAP ON THE
JUG. You want moisture to
get inside and as outside tem-
peratures rise, the heat cap-
tured inside the jug needs a
way to escape. In effect, you
have created a miniature
greenhouse effect.
The seeds will take their
cues from Mother Nature and
will germinate and grow at
just the right time. No more
guessing if its the right time
to sow the seeds. As the
plants grow, they will get
hardened off gradually and
youll be able to transplant
Its hard to believe that its
time once again to start think-
ing about sowing seeds for
new plants for this years gar-
den. Not those that you might
start inside; its way too early
for that. But whats this, you
say? Surely I dont mean
planting seeds outside, do I?
Indeed I do. Ive talked
about this before and if you
took my advice then and tried
it, then you know Im not
crazy. Its called wintersow-
ing and it couldnt be easier.
There are a number of annu-
als, perennials, and even
shrubs that can be success-
fully started outdoors in Jan-
uary and February right here
in Northwest Ohio.
First, decide what you want
to plant. For a comprehensive
list of all the seeds that do
well with wintersowing, visit
the website: wintersown.org.
A good rule of thumb is that
anything that is known to
self-seed, or need scarifica-
tion or stratification to germi-
nate will work.
Self-seeding plants are
those that come up voluntar-
ily in your garden near the lo-
cation of the parent plants in
subsequent years after plant-
ing them in your garden. Seed
heads that have been allowed
to remain on the plant will
drop seed, it lays in the soil
and then germinates at the
right time the following
spring. This is likely one of
the things that inspired the
practice of wintersowing.
Scarifying seed means to
nick the hard outer coat that
some seeds have, in order to
allow moisture inside that
will initiate germination.
Stratification serves a similar
purpose of breaking the
seal, by allowing the natural
processes of freezing and
thawing that occur through-
out winter to do the work.
When I first learned about
wintersowing, I was skepti-
cal. In theory, it made sense,
but I lacked confidence that it
would work in reality. But I
didnt have anything to lose
except a few seed packets,
some potting medium, and
my time. I tried it and by the

BOW WOW!
Most of the dogs we have
owned have been smaller
breeds, live inside and I guess
I could honestly say, Our
dogs have been and are
spoiled. The latest addition
to our family is a Shih-Tzu
named Baylee.
Baylee, at age 8, has always
been a pretty good little dog.
He loves his toys, especially
those that squeak, his warm
furry bed and laying in my re-
cliner whenever he can.
He is basically daddys
dog and goes outside with
him to take out trash and do
outside chores. Baylee has his
own little personality and
even though he can bark fero-
ciously at a cat in the yard, he
is scared of any loud noise
such as thunder.
At times I do wonder if
Baylee is a normal dog or just
an extension of our doggie
parenting skills. Believe it or
not, he has certain routines
that he follows religiously, or
lets say, We follow them.
Every morning after he
goes outside, he gets a piece
of doggie bacon. He has al-
ways gotten it and he would
think something was wrong if
we didnt give it to him.
Of course, Baylee is a
picky eater, He takes spells
where he will eat his dog
food, but on some days acts
like he could care less if he
eats or not.
We do have to enter a
guilty plea. We are pleading
guilty to the charge of giving
our little pooch some samples
of what we eat. It is no won-
der he turns up his nose at his
dog food.
One morning I was getting
ready for work and had
peeled myself a couple of
boiled eggs for breakfast. I
placed them on a plate and
then on a stand by my recliner
Baylee loves to lay in. Yum.
Those eggs were going to
taste good.
After I showered and
dressed, I went back to de-
vour my eggs. Oh no! They
were gone. I asked my hus-
band, Did you eat my boiled
eggs? He replied, No, of
course not.
I happened to look over at
Baylee perched on a pillow,
licking his chops. He even
had egg hanging from his
beard. That little dog had not
only climbed on my chair, but
had walked along the arms
and reached over and stole
both boiled eggs.
It is really hard to resist
feeding our dog people food,
because he stands on his hind
legs and just sniffs. He must
know what we are cooking
and he pulls out every trick in
the book to get some of that
good smelling food.
I remember when I was a
kid, we always had outdoor
dogs who seemed to eat any-
thing and everything. I guess
they knew better than to be
picky. As I look back, I am
sure we probably fed those
outdoor dogs things like
bones, sweets and fatty foods.
But, did you know that just be-
cause we like a certain food
and our pooches like it too,
there are certain foods not to
feed your dog? Some foods
can be poison to dogs or can
make them sick.
One thing is alcohol. Alco-
hol can cause not only intoxi-
cation, lack of coordination,
poor breathing, and abnormal
acidity, but potentially even
coma and/or death.
Apple seeds are also toxic to
a dog as they contain a natural
chemical that releases cyanide
when digested.
When it comes to bones, the
danger of them are that
cooked bones can easily splin-
ter when chewed by your dog.
Raw (uncooked) bones, how-

Your Thoughts....

ever, are appropriate and good
for both your dogs nutrition
and teeth.
Candy and chewing gum is
also bad for your dog. Not
only does candy contain sugar,
but it often contains Xylitol,
which can lead to the over-re-
lease of insulin, kidney failure,
and worse.
Youve probably heard this
before, but chocolate is a def-
inite no-no for your pup.
There are also other foods
such as grapes, certain kind of
nuts, mushrooms and avoca-
dos which can harm Rover.
Bottom line. Theres a reason
why there is food and treats
made especially for dogs.
Do you spoil your dog? Do
you let them consume people
food? Are they picky eaters? Let
me know and Ill give you a
Penny for Your Thoughts.
1.6 million acres goes into crops
and grasslands get squeezed
By Mark Holtsberry
Education specialist
Paulding SWCD
1.6 million acres, that is about the area of
the state of Delaware. Thats how much land
was removed this year from the federal CRP
(Conservation Reserve Program). This pro-
gram pays farmers to keep land covered with
native grasses or even trees. Most of that land
now will produce crops like corn or wheat. Its
a sign of the shifting economic tides that are
transforming Americas farming landscape.
If you drive through farm country, espe-
cially in the northern plain, youll see large
fields covered with grass. The federal govern-
ment is paying for much of that grass. The
U.S. Department of Agriculture pays farmers
to plant permanent vegetation, usually native
grasses, on that land instead of crops. This
brings back a little of the prairie, which comes
with all kinds of environmental benefits, such
as duck and native bird populations. But the
biggest benefit is preserving the soil.
Theres many species that live in grasslands
as well as several species of different grasses.
Grasses that feed the species which keep them
out of the planted fields. Permanent grass cov-
ers keep the soil from washing away. With
those deep roots that grasses have, and thick
thatch, the water has a hard time getting hold
of the soil. So more land in CRP means
cleaner streams, less fertilizer runoff and more
carbon stored in the soil.
At one time there were 34 million acres of
land in the United States enrolled in the CRP,
this is roughly the size of the state of New
York. In recent years, though, the conservation
reserve has shrunk by more that 25 percent,
including those 1.6 million acres that farmers
took out of the program this past year.
Its partly because Congress has cut funding
for the program. But theres more important
reasons high grain prices as well as govern-
ment corn growing mandates.
Mandates for ethanol production have in the
long run, also take CRP land off the books!
Farmers have been making a lot of money re-
cently growing corn, soybeans, and wheat.
Theyre bidding up prices for land, and
landowners are cashing in. Farmers are seeing
that they can make more for crops than leav-
ing the ground on CRP.
In South Dakota, farmers are ripping up
grasslands that include native prairie grasses
that have never been plowed. Bobcats and
front end loaders in Kansas, Oklahoma and
Texas, are removing rocks, boulders, fence
rows, and even windbreaks to plant crops.
These items were placed there in the late
1930s as a soil conservation measure to pro-
tect and preserve soil! Does this seem to strike
a historical moment? It was called the Dust
Bowl.
Wake up America!
This is bad for the water quality, soil ero-
sion, wildlife, not to mention, the air we
breath. Theres a growing demand for more
food and biofuel and farmers are responding
to that demand. I feel that most of them also
want to protect soil, streams, and wildlife.
Plant a tree. Our soil and water conservation
district is currently having our annual tree
sale. Please call us or stop in to get more in-
formation.

QUESTION: When and
how should we tell our child
that she was adopted?
JIM: According to our coun-
selors and the team who over-
sees our Focus on the Family
adoption outreach and initia-
tive, a child adopted at birth
should be told about it from a
very early age. This should
happen almost as soon as they
are capable of understanding
language. And it should be a
recurring theme in conversa-
tions with your child through-
out the growing-up years.
Unfortunately, some par-
ents avoid disclosing this to
their child because it makes
them uncomfortable. Then,
later on, theyre faced with
having to tell an older child
something theyve been
keeping secret. This can un-
dermine the childs sense of
security and may result in
feelings of rejection or be-
trayal.
Youll want to share the
facts using age-appropriate
words and imagery. Her
adoption should always be
presented in a positive light.
For example, a parent might
tell a 2- or 3-year-old that
mommy and daddy chose her
over all the other children in
the world. This will let her
know how special she is.
When she is slightly older
4 or 5, maybe, you can ex-
plain the difference between
a biological parent and an
adoptive parent. Explain that
she has actually had two dif-
ferent mothers. Her first
mommy took care of her
when she was very, very tiny,
inside of her tummy.
Then, after she was born,
you brought her home from
the hospital to live with you
because she was so extra-spe-
cial. Please call our Focus
counselors if we can be of
help.
QUESTION: How can I
help my daughter, who is
struggling with her racial
identity? Im white and my
ex-husband is black. She
struggles with issues of her
color and Im not sure
how to help.
DR. GREG SMALLEY,
vice president, Family Min-
istries: Id encourage you to
talk about race with your
daughter. She needs to know
its okay to be herself, just ex-
actly as she is, and you can
help cultivate this attitude by
being free and frank in your
discussion of the subject.
Its particularly important
to spend time listening and
understanding her situation
from her viewpoint. Ask
open-ended questions like,
Tell me what you like or
dont like about the way you
look, or Describe a time
when you felt different from
the other kids at school.
Also provide her with op-
portunities to interact with
children and families of vari-
ous ethnic backgrounds. This
is vital in helping develop
healthy attitudes toward race
and ethnicity. You can also
expose your daughter to
media (books, videos, etc.)
featuring multicultural char-
acters and themes. This will
supply her with positive role
models of people who, like
her, come from racially di-
verse backgrounds.
Just as important is teach-
ing her about the many differ-
ences and likenesses that
exist among human beings,
By Jim Daly
and that race isnt the only
distinguishing element. Point
out that people all have simi-
lar needs and feelings, such
as being loved and accepted.
When she is able to grasp
this, explain that, while she
may look different from her
peers, she is also very much
like them.
Finally, dont shy away
from discussing racism, but
remember to talk about it in
an age-appropriate way. She
may not be able to grasp the
complexities of slavery, but
she does need to understand
that some people strongly dis-
like others who are different
from them, and may even
treat them unkindly.
Shell also need to learn
how to respond to the com-
ments or questions of others.
Both children and adults can
sometimes be rude with their
remarks about race, but there
are also many occasions
when their words and behav-
ior are simply the result of ig-
norance or curiosity.
Winning the Battle for a Generation
By Rick Jones
exec. director, Defiance
Area Youth for Christ
How would you respond if you were to lose
all your earthly possessions? Consider with
me what happened in a meeting that took
place at the Edgewater Beach Hotel in
Chicago in 1923.
A popular story recounts a meeting that may
have taken place at the Edgewater Beach
Hotel in Chicago in 1923. There is debate
whether the meeting in fact occurred, but what
is not in question is the actual rise and fall of
the men featured in the story, who were nine
of the richest men in the world at that time:
Charles Schwab, president of the worlds
largest independent steel company;
Samuel Insull, president of the worlds
largest utility company;
Howard Hopson, president of the largest
gas firm; Arthur Cutten,
the greatest wheat speculator;
Richard Whitney, president of the New
York Stock Exchange;
Albert Fall, member of the presidents cab-
inet;
Leon Frazier, president of the Bank of In-
ternational Settlements;
Jessie Livermore, the greatest speculator
in the stock market;
Ivar Kreuger, head of the company with
the most widely distributed securities in the
world.
What happened to these powerful and rich
men 25 years later?
Charles Schwab died in bankruptcy, hav-
ing lived on borrowed money for five years
before his death.
Samuel Insull died virtually penniless after
spending some time as a fugitive from justice.
Howard Hopson became insane.
Arthur Cutten died overseas, broke.
Richard Whitney had spent time in a men-
tal asylum.
Albert Fall was released from prison, so he
could die at home.
Leon Fraizer, Jessie Livermore, and Ivar
Kreuger each died by suicide.
Measured by wealth and power these men
achieved success, at least temporarily. But it
did not surely guarantee them a truly success-
ful life.
Many people think of fame and fortune
when they measure success. However, at some
point in life, most people come to realize that
inner peace and soul-deep satisfaction come
not from fame and money, but having lived a
life based on integrity and noble character.
The scriptures put it this way, Matthew
6:33-34 (NLT), (33) Seek the Kingdom of
God above all else, and live righteously, and
he will give you everything you need. (34) So
dont worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow
will bring its own worries. Todays trouble is
enough for today.
(From a sermon by Sajeev Painunkal SJ,
What Changed Zaccheus? 10/30/2010)

get acquainted games ran by the Jr. Leaders 4-H Club and then members went to sessions to learn about their duties as a 4-H
club officer. After the training sessions, members played large group games and had refreshments. The training concluded with
a candle-lighting installation ceremony.

PAULDING Two Pauld-
ing County rivals squared off
in non-league boys basketball
action at the Jungle in
Paulding as the host Panthers
welcomed in visiting Wayne
Trace last Tuesday night, Jan.
14.
When the ball bounced for
the final time, it was the vis-
iting Raiders who left with a
57-53 victory in the annual ri-
valry battle.
Despite being a weeknight
game, both schools had good
crowds providing a tourna-
ment-like atmosphere to the
contest.
This was a great game and
both teams had very good
crowds here, commented
Paulding head coach Shawn
Brewer. The atmosphere
was tremendous and gave
you a tournament feel to it.
People really came out to
support their teams tonight.
Paulding appeared ready to
take control of the game in
the first quarter, getting eight
points from Guy Harder in
the stanza to go in front 14-6.
Wayne Trace answered
with consecutive 3-point field
goals by Colby Speice and
Corbin Linder to close within
14-12 at the end of eight min-
utes of action.
Everybody stepped up and
made a play at some point
tonight, noted Wayne Trace
head coach Jim Linder,
whose team moved to 7-1 on
the year.
A basket by David Sinn,
two Ethan Linder free throws
and a bucket from Jake Arend
quickly put the Raiders in
front 19-18. After Paulding
rallied to take a 22-19 advan-
tage behind a pair of Julian
Salinas baskets, Ethan Linder
scored on back-to-back
Raider possessions for a 25-
24 Wayne Trace lead.
Paulding came right back
with a Kyle Kauser three as
the maroon and white posted
a 27-26 halftime advantage.
Brewer attributed numer-
ous breakdowns in his
teams place for the failure to
hold the lead.
We would make a little
run but then they came up
with a key play, it seemed,
every time, Brewer contin-
ued. I am very proud of the
guys, though. We played ex-
tremely hard and battled all
night long.
Although he didnt score
much, Wayne Traces Devin
Wenzlick was a key part of
the Raiders first-half efforts.
The senior forward totaled six
rebounds and four points be-
fore the break and kept sev-
eral other plays alive for the
red, white and blue.
I thought we did a good
job, for the most part, in con-
trolling their offense, added
the Panther mentor. I
thought the one kid that really
provided them a lift was
Devin. He made plays and
was just very aggressive on
the boards. He kept alive a lot
of plays for them.
Trailing 32-28 early in the
third quarter, Wayne Trace
put together a 10-0 run high-
lighted by a pair of Ethan
Linder treys.
That was a big run for us
and gave us a spark, noted
the Raider head coach. We
built some momentum there
and it seemed to provide us a
little boost.
Paulding did close within
46-40 at the end of the quarter
on a Kyle Kauser tip-in at the
buzzer.
The Raiders again
stretched the lead in the final
stanza, pushing the margin to
54-44 behind buckets from
Arend, Ethan Linder and
Corbin Linder. The maroon
and white again tried to an-
swer, getting a basket and two
free throws from Julian Sali-
nas, to trim the deficit to 54-
49.
Wayne Trace put the game
away on a Wenzlick basket
off of a Corbin Linder assist
to widen the lead back to 56-
49, and the Raiders cruises
from that point to the 57-53
win.
Ethan Linder led all scor-
ers, bucketing 18 points for
Wayne Trace, with Corbin
Linder adding a dozen. Colby
Speice chipped in seven fol-
lowed by Wenzlick and Jake
Arend at six apiece. Wenzlick
also paced the Raiders on the
boards with 14 while Ethan
Linder and Speice both
dished out five assists. Speice
posted five steals as well.
Devin was big for us
tonight, commented the
Raider head coach. He really
went to the boards aggres-
sively. David was able to re-
bound for us as well, and
Colby hit some big shots.
Ethan and Corbin were able
to hit some shots as well and
made some plays. It was a
total team effort for us.
Treston Gonzales had 16
points for the Panthers with
Salinas adding 14 and Harder
chipping in a dozen. Harder
and Gonzales both recorded
seven boards for Paulding,
which falls to 9-3 on the sea-
son.
Wayne Traces junior var-
sity moved to 7-1 as well with
a 53-35 win over the rival
Panthers.

Panthers finally
break streak
By JIM LANGHAM
Sportswriter
After losses to county rival Wayne Trace and conference foe
Columbus Grove earlier in the week, the Paulding Panther boys
basketball team bounced back with a 53-45 win on the road at Ay-
ersville on Saturday night.
The victory improved Pauldings record to 10-4 overall.
On Friday night, free throws, especially at a crucial moment,
proved to be the downfall for the Panthers as the local squad
dropped a 58-55 decision to Columbus Grove, who walked off
the floor with a 7-3 overall record and a 2-0 mark in conference
play.
Columbus Grove jumped out to a 13-11 advantage at the end
of the first stanza, but Paulding fought back to grab a 27-25 half-
time advantage. The teams played to a 47-47 tie at end of regula-
tion play, but Grove outscored the Panthers, 11-8, in overtime to
claim the win.
Pauldings record in the NWC now stands at 2-2.
It came down to making fourth quarter free throws and we
missed the front end of one and one situations, said Brewer. We
did what we had to do, we just didnt finish.
We just need to continue to have steady play, not panic and
work hard, continued Brewer. Second shots hurt us through the
whole game. We have to do a better job getting second rebounds
at the boards.

Antwerp plays 32 minutes to victory
Trenton Copseys 18 leads Archers over Lincolnview
By JOE SHOUSE
Sportswriter
ANTWERP On a personal
level, if Lincolnview boys head
coach Brett Hammons and
Antwerp head coach TJ Ham-
mer had their way, the game
played Saturday night at
Antwerp would never have
tipped off. Not because one
team was so much better than
the other, but because of the
close friendship the two coaches
have developed over the years.
We went to college together
and became very good friends.
We were even roommates while
attending Defiance College.
This was tough to do tonight,
said Hammer.
But setting aside the friend-
ship, both teams played a very
competitive game with the
Archers prevailing down the
stretch, 66-58.
It was a dog fight throughout
the contest with neither team
taking control in the first half.
Lincolnview managed a three-
point lead on a 3-pointer from
Eli Farmer in the first period but
the Archers answered with a 6-
0 run to close out the first quar-
ter holding a 15-12 margin.
Antwerps 6-foot-4 center
Trenton Copsey opened the sec-
ond period with a soft jumper in
the paint to widen the Antwerp
lead 17-12, but two buckets by
Kyle Williams and a triple from
Justis Dowdy quickly put the
Lancers back on top 19-17 with
4:19 remaining.
The Archers turned it around
to hang on with a four-point
cushion prior to halftime, but
Dowdy came through for the
Lancers with a traditional 3-
point play to pull Lincolnview
to within one at intermission,
27-26.
The Lancers relied on the
emotional play of forward
Dowdy in the first half. The jun-
ior tallied 13 of his teams 26
first half points. But foul trouble
plagued Dowdy in the second
half and was held scoreless
while spending time on the
bench.
Thats been trouble for us all
season. Our defense isnt very
good right now and we picked
up too many fouls, said Coach
Hammons.
The third frame appeared to
belong to Kyle Williams, who
came out looking for his shot
and banging home his teams
first nine points and giving the
Lancers its largest lead of the
night, 35-28. Williams, who
was held to just four markers in
the first half finished with 23 to
lead all scorers.
I know he scored all those
points, but I thought Sam
(Williamson) did a nice job and
made it tough on Williams to
score. Our help side defense
was good tonight, said Ham-
mer.
Antwerp answered the
Lancers seven-point lead with
a 3-pointer from Derek Smalley
and a basket from Sam
Williamson. Sandwiched be-
tween the two scores was a bas-
ket by Trenton Copsey, who
was spotted in the paint on an
out-of-bounds play. The junior
center timed his ally-oop jump
perfectly for an important
Archer basket.
Copsey finished the night
with 18 points to lead the Archer
attack. Joining Copsey with
double digit scoring were
Kaden Brumett (17), Derek
Smalley (15) and Sam
Williamson (10).
When we got down by
seven we could have panicked,
but we didnt. Tonight we
played 32 minutes of good bas-
ketball. Often times we will
play 24 or 26 minutes, but
tonight was a different story,
said Coach Hammer.
Both teams entered the final
eight minutes even at 42 apiece
and no lead was larger than
three points until Smalley col-
lected himself for a long range
3-pointer to push the Archers in
front 54-50 with 2:15 remain-
ing.
Derek hit some big shots for
us, said Hammer.
In the closing minutes, Lin-
colnview found themselves
struggling to score and missing
several close range shots. The
Archers were in the double
bonus at the free throw line and
was able to hang on hitting eight
free throws in the final minute.
They (Antwerp) made plays
and we didnt. We missed too
many easy bunnies and it cost
us, said Hammons.
With the loss, the Lancers fell
even at 6-6 while the Archers
improved to 7-5.

Tigers claw to win
HOLGATE Last Thursday,
the Antwerp Archers traveled to
Holgate on a snowy night and
for 29 minutes the Archers con-
trolled the game, trailing just
briefly at the start of the second
period when Everett Kling-
shirm drilled a triple to give the
Tigers a 16-15 lead.
The Tigers used the final
three minutes of the contest to
power past the Archers by scor-
ing the final seven points for the
54-48 win.
Holding a 26-22 advantage at
intermission, the Archers
opened the third period with a
2-point field goal from Garrett
Jones but back-to-back treys by
Dylan Szabo and Owen Clady
tied the score at 30 apiece with
2:30 remaining in the third.
Antwerp squeezed a 3-point
lead on a bucket from Colton
Stout and Jones, but the Tigers
continued to hang around with
a 3-pointer by Klingshirm con-
nected from behind the arc to
even the score at 34 heading in
to the final eight minutes.
Derek Smalley scored
Antwerps first five points to
push the blue and white advan-
tage to 39-34 and the Archers
nursed a lead with their last
coming at the 1:55 mark when
Kaden Brumett hit 1-of-2 free
throws to give the Archers a
slim 48-47 lead. Holgate an-
swered with a 7-0 run to pull out
the Green Meadows Confer-
ence win.
Senior Derek Smalley was
the leading scorer for the
Archers with 14. Sam
Williamson and Kaden Brumett
each added 11.

Archers win on road
CONTINENTAL In a
rescheduled game due to
weather, the Antwerp Archers
traveled to Continental last
Monday evening and escaped
with a 48-42 nonconference
win over the Pirates.
The blue and white got out of
the gate quickly to post a 12-3
first quarter lead. After playing
even in the second period, the
Archers outscored the Pirates,
10-4, in the third period.
Trailing 35-20 heading into
the final eight minutes of play
Continental made it interesting
by outscoring TJ Hammers
club, 22-13.
The 3-8 Pirates collected 12
points from Wade Stouffer and
10 points from Gabe Williams.
For the winning Archers,
only four players hit the scoring
column with Kaden Brumett
leading the attack with 14 in-
cluding four goals behind the
arc. Sam Williamson was in
double digits with 13 followed
by Trenton Copsey, who had a
double-double with 12 points
and 11 rebounds. Derek Smal-
ley rounded out the Archers
scoring with nine.
Lady Raider rally comes
up short in loss to Pilots
By KEVIN
WANNEMACHER
Sportswriter
HAVILAND Wayne Trace nearly rallied
from an 18-point third quarter deficit but vis-
iting Ayersville held on for a 63-59 win over
the Lady Raiders Friday night in Green Mead-
ows Conference action.
Ayersville held a 49-31 advantage late in the
third quarter before the Raiders outscored the
Pilots 26-14 in the final stanza.
Trailing by three with 11 seconds remain-
ing, the Raiders had possession with an oppor-
tunity to tie the game but turned the ball over
instead. Ayersvilles Megan Schubert then hit
a free throw with seven seconds on the clock
to seal the Pilot victory.
The girls did a great job of not giving up
and continuing to battle until the end, com-
mented Raider head coach Bethany Hughes.
I am proud of the girls for not giving up and
playing hard.
Ayersville led 18-12 after one quarter be-
hind nine points and five rebounds from Schu-
bert.
The Pilots pushed the lead to 22-14 on a
basket by Brittany Addington before two
Shayna Temple baskets and an Erin Mohr
bucket got Wayne Trace within 22-20.
Ayersville responded, though, to widen the
margin to 27-22 at the intermission on baskets
from Kelsey Johnston and Molly Hammer-
smith.
Quarter number three saw the Pilots take
control, outscoring Wayne Trace 22-11 in the
stanza to take a lead as much as 18 before set-
tling on a 49-33 advantage at the end of three
quarters.
Hammersmith had 14 points in the third
quarter alone to lead the Pilots in the period.
Too many turnovers, commented Hughes
after a night that saw Wayne Trace commit 31
miscues, including nine in the third quarter.
We have to do a better job of taking care of
the basketball.
Wayne Trace trailed 60-51 with 1:02 left in
the contest but the Raiders would make things
interesting.
A basket by Brenda Feasby got the Raiders
within 62-54 before Erin Mohr followed it
with a trey that pulled the red, white and blue
within 62-57.
Following a Pilot miss, Feasby added an-
other bucket to slice the deficit to 62-59 at the
11 second mark.
However, following three straight Ayersville
misses at the charity stripe, Wayne Trace was
unable to take advantage on the ensuing pos-
session as the Raiders lost control of the ball
and the Pilots would hold on for the win.
Hammersmith and Schubert each picked up
double-doubles for the Pilots. Hammersmith
recorded a team high 19 points to go along
with 10 rebounds while Schubert added 16
markers and 14 boards. Hammersmith and
Kylee Tressler recorded seven and six steals,
respectively, with Addington dishing out
seven assists.
Mohr bucketed 22 points to top the Raiders
followed by Lauren Speice with 14 and
Feasby added a dozen. Shayna Temple also
chipped in 11 markers for the red, white and
blue. Speice also recorded her fifth double-
double of the season with 14 rebounds. Tem-
ple dished out four assists and posted five
steals with Feasby adding three assists and
four steals.
With the win, the Pilots stay atop the GMC
standings with co-leader Holgate as both are now
3-0 in league play. The Pilots and Tigers will
meet tomorrow night in Henry County. Ay-
ersville is 11-2 overall. Wayne Trace falls to 8-5
in all games and 1-2 in the conference.
LCC 76, WT 63
Lima Central Catholic posted a 76-63 win
over the Lady Raiders in non-league play last
week.
Meredith Shepherd bucketed 20 points for the
Lady Thunderbirds with Liz Kidd adding 19 and
Madison Stolly chipped in 13. Sydney Mohler
also posted 11 markers and eight rebounds for
LCC. Sydney Santaguida topped the Thunder-
birds with eight assists and eight steals.
Feasby paced Wayne Trace with 15 markers
followed by Mohr and Speice with 14 each.
Temple also chipped in 10 for the Raiders. Spe-
ice topped the local squad with 17 rebounds
while Temple picked up nine caroms to go along
with three assists and four steals.
The Lady Raiders return to action tomorrow
as they travel to Hicksville in Green Meadows
Conference action.
Panther girls drop three games in weather-beleaguered week
By JIM LANGHAM
Sportswriter
Mother Nature took its toll
on the Paulding girls this past
week who were forced to
play three games in five days,
thanks to an earlier cancellation
against Bluffton due to bad
weather.
The Pirates invaded the local
gym last Monday night for a
league encounter and walked
away with a 63-54 win in
Northwest Conference action.
Bluffton drew blood early,
out-racing the Panthers 17-5 in
the first quarter to establish the
tempo for the game. However,
the Panthers fought back in the
second quarter to outscore the
visitors 18-14 and close the gap
to 31-23 at the end of the first
half. The Panthers hung in the
second half, but couldnt dig
out of the hole that occurred in
the first quarter.
Im proud of the way our
kids hung in there and didnt
give up after that first quarter,
said Paulding head coach Lyn-
dsi Schultz. I was happy with
the way we regained our poise
in that second quarter. We had
just fallen behind too far to be
able to come all of the way
back.
For Paulding, Sierra McCul-
lough continued her steady
shooting to lead the Panthers
with 17 points while Abby
Pease popped in 12 points for
the local squad.
Following that contest,
Pauldings record was 5-5
overall and 1-3 in NWC play.
Paulding took good care of
the ball with only 14 turnovers
compared to 13 for Bluffton.
I was happy with the way
our girls responded on the
boards, said Schultz, whose
Panthers out-rebounded the Pi-
rates, 25-23.
On Tuesday night at Van
Wert, the Cougar defense shut
down Pauldings offense,
which connected on only 8-28
from the field for 28 percent
shooting. In addition, the Pan-
thers turned over the ball 28
times in losing to Van Wert, 50-
24.
Van Wert, in the meantime,
only turned the ball over 13
times and connected on 44 of
their shots from the field.
Once again, the local squad
came out struggling to fall be-
hind Van Wert, 18-4 at the end
of the first quarter and 38-6 at
the half. One bright spot for
Paulding was rebounding
where the local squad out-re-
bounded the home team, 26-
16.
Thursday night, the Pan-
thers continued to struggle
with injuries in dropping a
60-29 loss to Columbus
Grove in conference play at
Grove.
Columbus Grove jumped
out to an 18-8 first quarter
lead, and extended it to 28-14
at the half. The third quarter
proved to be fatal for any
hope the Panthers had, best-
ing the local squad, 22-2, to
pull away for the big win.
Columbus Grove improved
its record to 9-5 overall and
3-1 in league play while the
Panthers dropped to 5-7 over-
all and 1-4 in conference play.
Things wont get any easier
this week when the Panthers
host a tough Crestview team
on Thursday night and plays
one of the best teams in west-
ern Ohio in Ottoville on Sat-
urday.
We are going to have to
play hard defense and do all
we can to take care of the
ball, said Schultz of the Pan-
thers challenging schedule.
At Ohio Dominican, former Wayne Trace standout Kacee Hock-
enberry is a junior on the Lady Panther basketball team.
Hockenberry currently averages a team-high 16.6 points per game
for the Lady Panthers while connecting on a team high 14 three-
pointers this year. Hockenberry also averages four rebounds, two as-
sists and a steal each contest. The junior guard has started all 14
games this season for the Lady Panthers, who are currently 6-8 over-
all and 3-7 in the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference.
Hockenberry scored a team-high 18 points and grabbed six re-
bounds in a 75-56 win over Hillsdale College this past Saturday.

A pair of former Raiders are members of the Grace College
womens basketball team as Jo Ellen Fickel and Sarah Feasby are
each sophomores on the Lady Lancers.
Fickel has played in all 19 games, starting four, and averages three
points and two rebounds a contest. The former Raider standout has
dished out eight assists and recorded 10 steals on the year.
Feasby has also seen action in all 19 contests with 17 starts on the
year. The sophomore forward scores four points and grabs three
boards per game while dishing out 17 assists and posting 18 steals
this season.
Grace College is currently 8-11 overall and 4-3 in the Crossroads
League.

Ranked Holgate easily defeats Lady Archers
By JOE SHOUSE
Sportswriter
ANTWERP Last Thurs-
day the Lady Archers were
home to the Division IV 11th-
ranked Holgate Tigers and the
visitors didnt need long to
prove their lofty ranking.
Holgate, after a slow start, put
it all together to improve its
record to 12-1 with a 56-25
thumping of Antwerp.
The Lady Archers (1-11)
played very inspired basket-
ball in the first period to force
the Tigers into several
turnovers, but their superior
height advantage took its toll
in the early going. Marissa
Myles, one of the 6-foot twin
towers who plays for the
Tigers, collected 10 points in
the first period. Myles fin-
ished with 16 to lead all scor-
ers.
Trailing 17-11 after the ini-
tial quarter, the Archers strug-
gled offensively, scoring just
14 points.
Holgate has so many
weapons and they proved
why they have their high
ranking, said Antwerp head
coach Kevin Taylor.
The other weapons Taylor
was referring to were a cou-
ple of inside-outside players
who came in off the bench to
spark the Tigers with 22 total
points.
The second half of the twin
towers, 6-foot Rachel Des-
granges, made her presence
known on the glass and fin-
ished with 11 points while
senior Jillian Clady also to-
taled 11 points, including
three bombs from behind
the arc.
When you have those 6-
footers who can trap you in
the corner, it makes it difficult
to do much offensively, said
Coach Taylor.
The Archers finished with
21 turnovers.
For the blue and white,
Kaiya Jemison finished with
eight points to lead the
Archers in scoring. Freshman
Peyton Short tallied seven
markers including a 3-
pointer, and sophomore Au-
drie Longardner added six.
At the foul line Antwerp
made nine trips cashing in on
four while the Tigers made
their way to the stripe 20
times and hitting 18.
We are a young team
playing freshmen and sopho-
mores and I have been very
pleased with a couple of our
younger kids. Tonight, it was-
nt a lack of effort but we are
inexperienced going up
against one of the best teams
in the area, Taylor said.

Lincolnview tops Antwerp
In a low scoring defensive
struggle throughout the first
half for both teams, Lincol-
nview was able to turn it up a
notch in the second half to
prevail over the Lady
Archers, 40-28, in nonleague
action last Tuesday.
Lincolnview took an early
2-0 lead on a Hannah Mc-
Cleery basket and the Lady
Lancers never trailed the rest
of the way. McCleery, the 5-
foot-7 point guard for Coach
Dan Williamson, finished
with 12 points as did sopho-
more teammate Ashton Bow-
ersock.
In the second frame,
Antwerps Audrie Longard-
ners bucket cut the Lancer
margin to 6-5, but Lincol-
nview ignited a 6-0 run to
take control 12-5 and went to
the dressing room at intermis-
sion up 14-8.
They (Lincolnview) pres-
sured us pretty good and we
struggled all night finding an
open shot, said Antwerp
head coach Kevin Taylor.
The Lady Archers came out
in the third quarter and played
inspired basketball with Lon-
gardner and Cheyenne
Miller-Sweet each hitting a
basket to cut the margin to
14-12. Lincolnview kept the
upper hand with Bowersock
and McCleery scoring back-
to-back hoops to an eight-
point lead.
The third period ended
with a basket from Julia
Thatcher and Bowersock
buzzer beater. The Lancers
entered the final eight min-
utes of play holding its largest
lead at nine, 26-17.
We came out after half-
time and scored some points
but our defensive intensity
was nonexistent. I had to sit
some of our starters who were
not getting the job done, said
Coach Taylor.
Longardner dialed in from
behind the arc to pull the
Archers to within six at 26-20
to start the fourth quarter, but
a Lincolnview scored the next
five points, including a 12-
foot jumper from the left
baseline followed by a clear
out in the paint allowing Mc-
Cleery an uncontested lay-up.
Hannah was big for us
tonight. Her scoring and ball
handling was solid and we
need that from here in every
game, said Coach
Williamson.
With just over three min-
utes remaining, Claire Clay
connected on a 2-point goal
to give Lincolnview their
largest lead, 35-22.
Offensively we were a bit
off. Usually we have a much
better flow but give Antwerp
credit they made it interesting
in the third quarter,
Williamson said.
Longardner led the Archers
offensively with 11 points,
followed by Kaiya Jemison,
who collected 10. Although
Coach Taylor was disap-
pointed in the play of some of
his veterans he was pleased
with the overall play of fresh-
man Becca Johanns and
sophomore Kianna Recker,
who gave the Lady Archers
some quality minutes.
Score by Quarters:
Lancers 6 8 12 14 40

Watch the PC Tigers play Putnam County at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 29 at Brookhill in Ottawa. Coach Short remarked that he
is very pleased with the success of the PC Tigers season and the support of the fans. All 17 players on the roster have played
in every game and have shown great enthusiasm in practice and on the court.

day.
The Bulldogs led 6-4 after one quarter but the Archers rallied
to tie the contest at 10-10 at the intermission. Antwerp took a
16-15 advantage at the end of three periods before Edgerton
outscored the blue and white 8-2 in the fourth quarter to rally
for the victory.
Rachel Williamson and Ashley Miller both scored six points
for the Lady Archers while Amanda Roberts chipped in four
markers. Callie Perry also had two points for Antwerp.
Hicksville advanced to the semifinals with a 34-20 win over

The Lady Raiders led 14-6 at the end of one quarter and
widened the margin to 24-13 at the intermission. Tinora cut the

Tournament and won first place. Reinhart was 3-0 on the day
with two pins and a major decision. By placing first, he has qual-
ified for the Grade School State Wrestling Championships on
March 14-15 in Youngstown. He is the first-ever Antwerp wrestler
to win the Oregon Clay district as well as the first-ever Antwerp
wrestler to qualify for state. His hard work day in and day out
have earned him the right to be called a champion. The wrestling
club as well as everyone in the Antwerp wrestling community

state championships.
WT places 8th at
Van Buren
VAN BUREN The Wayne Trace varsity wrestling team
competed in a two-day tournament held at Van Buren High

overall.
The lone champion for the Raiders was George Clemens IV,

Jevyn Pratt from Carey.
Ruger Goeltzenleuchter, 120 lb., placed second. He was de-
feated in the finals by returning state-placer Tyler Sarreshteh
of Liberty Benton. Josh Reel placed fifth at 170 and Matt Bax-
ter placed sixth at 126.
Finishing in the top eight, falling just short of the podium,
were Jacob Dingus at 160, and Justin Pierce at 220.
I feel we wrestled well, everyone is starting to improve, and
we are right on track for where we need to be for the postsea-
son, Coach Clemens commented. Its hard to compete when
youre missing a lot of key wrestlers. When they are back in
the lineup, we should be very competitive.

Jan. 18. The team went 1-4 for the day, defeating Patrick Henry 42-29. The Panthers finished in eighth place overall. Paulding

WT hires technology
coordinator
By LINDSAY McCOY
DHI Correspondent
HAVILAND Wayne Trace Local School Board of Education
met for its annual organizational meeting Monday, Jan. 13. Lisa
McClure was named board president, and regularly monthly meet-
ings were set for the second Monday of each month beginning at
7:30 p.m.
A contract was approved for Jerry Hessel as the new technology
coordinator. Hessel is currently the technology coordinator at Pauld-
ing Exempted Village Schools and will be starting with the Wayne
Trace School district beginning Feb. 10.
With the hiring of a new technology coordinator, we are now in
a position to move forward with the implementation of the Straight
A Fund grant monies, said superintendent Stephen Arnold. This
was the first step for the district.
Arnold also reported that Wayne Trace has now exceeded the set
amount of calamity days required for the 2013-14 school year. Make
up days have been set for Feb. 17 on Presidents Day as well as May
29.
We appreciate all the help we received from community mem-
bers in helping to clean up water from the broken sprinkler system
at the Junior/Senior building, Arnold said. A crack in the system
early last week caused water to flood the building, and the
school received large support from members of the community
who helped cleanup the mess within the school building.
The board accepted the resignation of Judith Snook as
teacher after 26 years with the district.
Harry Bland was approved as a basketball volunteer coach
and Travis Tumblin was approved as baseball volunteer coach.
