PAULDING When Pauldings Tasha
Panico received news that she had breast can-
cer a couple of years ago, it was one of the real
shockers of her life.
I found out about the cancer about a month
before my 36th birthday, ob-
served Panico. I found out in
March of last year.
I actually felt the lump and
went for a mammogram at
Defiance Mercy Clinic, continued
Panico. I was diagnosed with
breast cancer and had a lumpectomy.
As soon as I had that done, I went right
into chemotherapy and medication. Dr. Shaw
was very good and I had a lot of good nurses
taking care of me.
Panico said that she felt a little better about
it after she got on the Internet and read some
things. Still, Panico, who plays volleyball
twice a week and worked out regularly, could-
nt understand how someone as healthy as her
could be afflicted with such a disease.
Panico credited the prayers of those sur-
rounding her and especially her husband, Tim,
for his positive support and tendency to make
her laugh through the whole ordeal.
We never allowed ourselves to think into
the future too much. We took it one day at a
time and had lots of prayer, continued Panico.
My family was such a support to me. The en-
tire community support was something. I
received tons of cards and family
members brought in meals.
Im a pretty quiet person
for the most part, continued
Panico. This was so over-
whelming to me.
Panico is especially grateful
to her employer at Stykemain
Chevrolet for the consideration of
her situation.
My boss was very considerate of me and
really took care of me, said Panico. I didnt
have to miss that much work. My fellow em-
ployees were like one work family. If I came in
and was down, they would make jokes to help
lighten up my mood. I really appreciated it.
One of Panicos best days in a long time oc-

PAULDING Officers of the
Bargain Bin were recently stunned
when they were informed that an
anonymous gift of $80,000 was being
gifted to their organization to be used
toward the construction of a new fa-
cility.
We received a gift from heaven;
an anonymous giver gave us $80,000
to build a new Bargain Bin, said or-
ganization president Rhonda Smalley.
We all started crying. We want it to
be a safe, nice new building.
Smalley said that a few months
ago, personnel of the Paulding
County Hospital were approached by
a representative of an unknown group
who wanted to donate to a deserve
cause.
The hospital graciously suggested
that they help the Bargain Bin since
the old building is getting very unsafe
and our profits help to purchase
equipment for the hospitals physical
therapy department, said Smalley.
The group was very agreeable to that
idea because they realize how much
good the Bargain Bin does for the
community.
While the group was ecstatic about
the seed money for the building,
Smalley said that there was still an-
other major hurdle that had to be
taken care of before the group could
start planning for a new building.
They had to have the ground to build
it on.
A meeting was held with the
Paulding County commissioners
about the two lots behind the old jail
at the corner of Harrison and Cherry
streets, observed Smalley. They
agreed to sell the property to the
Bargain Bin for the very low price of
$5,000.
We were told that we would have
to run payment for that property
through the Paulding County
Foundation, continued Smalley.
But just a few minutes later, we re-
ceived a call from the Foundation in-
forming us that the Bargain Bin
wouldnt even have to pay the $5,000
for the property. It had all been taken
care. It was another miracle for us.

Miracle seed money donated for new Bargain Bin

PAULDING With the Don
Schnepp memorial rock temporari-
ly removed and a community be-
coming more divided, most were
anticipating what might occur at the
Paulding Exempted Village School
board meeting scheduled for
Tuesday evening, May 20.
At the April board meeting, Barry
Vance approached the board and
made accusations that Schnepp, a
junior high teacher, had molested
him when he was in the eighth
grade. Vance also commented that
others had been attacked and en-
couraged them to come forward.
In recent weeks, a second victim
has come forward and was on the
agenda to speak at the May 20
school board meeting. Defiance
businessman David Kinkade, who
also was a student under the teach-
ing of Schnepp, says that he, too,
was attacked while in the eighth
grade.
An online petition calling for re-
moval of the rock and form new
policy regarding teacher-student re-
lationships has been on social
media since the April meeting. The
petition was scheduled to be pre-
sented to the school at the May
meeting. At last report, the petition
totaled 579 names in support.
School officials had the memori-
al rock taken from the site on May
10, but indicated that the move may
only be temporary.
In the meantime, school superin-
tendent Bill Hanak released a state-
ment early last week that read:
The board and current adminis-
tration want to make clear to our
school community and members of
the public that any reports by stu-
dents or staff of present harassment
or alleged abuse are taken seriously
and are investigated in accordance
with law and board policy. School
officials absolutely do not ignore
such matters.
It is important to understand that
the allegations being made by Mr.
Vance and concern over events that
occurred decades ago in which the
current board, school officials and
staff had no involvement and in
which they have no knowledge of.
The district is not able to conduct a
meaningful investigation of the
truth or falsity of the allegations, as
the persons who supposedly had
knowledge are no longer employed
by the district, and the alleged per-
petrator is deceased and cannot be
questioned or speak in his own de-
fense.
The complaining parties gradu-
ated many years ago, so there is no
action the board could take now
that could alter their educational ex-
perience. The board is at a loss to
understand why this matter is being
raised with the board at all, rather
than with law enforcement.
Again, we want to assure our
school community and the public
that the safety and best interests of
our students are of paramount im-
portance to us and we would never
knowingly fail to address a com-
plaint of current harassment or
abuse in the school setting.
The board meeting took place
after press time; a follow-up article
will be posted on the Progress web-
site at
www.progressnewspaper.org.

Bargain Bin Thrift Shop goes
to the Paulding County
Hospital for the purpose of
purchasing physical therapy
equipment. It is estimated that
since the Bargain Bin began
serving the local medical fa-
cility in 1962, more than $1
million in donation of items
has been presented to the local
hospital.
The groups secretary,
Eileen Kochensparger, said
that the group had been pray-
ing for a new facility.
We had pretty well decid-
ed that we were going to apply
$5,000 toward renovating our
old facility when this gift
came to us, said Kochen -
sparger.
It is Gods cycle of work-
ing things. It goes from some-
one who doesnt need dishes
to someone who does need
dishes to the county hospital.
God has His way of working,
said Smalley.
These are exciting times in
the life of the Bargain Bin,
said Smalley. All of this is an
answer to our prayers. We
thank God for His goodness
and grace. We need to always
be thankful for the continuous
circle of giving - for our com-
munity donations, our faithful
customers and our hospitals
support and provision of com-
munity wellness.
The estimated cost of the
entire project is $125,000
which includes the building,
parking lot and equipment for
inside the building.
Those who would like to
give toward the completion of
the project can mail to
Bargain Bin of Paulding, Inc.,

The Ohio State Highway
Patrols Van Wert Post is in-
vestigating a serious injury
crash that occurred at 8:45
p.m. Sunday evening, May 18
on U.S. 24 at County Road
143 intersection in Paulding
County.
According to troopers, a
2000 Chevrolet S-10 pickup,
driven by Courtney M.
Schaffer, 19, of Hicksville,
was traveling southbound on
Road 143. A 2005 Dodge Ram
pickup, driven by David W.
Ashenfelter, 45, of Flora, Ind.,
was traveling eastbound on
U.S. 24. The Chevrolet failed
to yield at the stop sign and
drove into the path of the
Dodge.
Both vehicles were heavily
damaged and came to rest in
the ditch on the south side of
U.S. 24.
Schaffer was taken by
Samaritan to Parkview Re -

HOSPITAL HONORED Recently, at the National Rural Health Association meeting held in Las Vegas, iVantage Health
Analytics officially announced the top 100 Critical Access Hospitals in the United States. Paulding County Hospital is one of
three Ohio hospitals that received this distinction. Last week, hospital officials held a press conference to share details. The
data used to make the selections is compiled for CMS (the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare). The seven metrics of data
include: competitiveness, cost, quality, customer satisfaction, county health ranking, financial stability and affordability.
Paulding County Hospital was ranked No. 1 in affordability for Critical Access Hospitals in Ohio. From left are Ryan Mack
from Congressman Bob Lattas office; hospital CEO Gary Adkins; Wes Fahrbach from Senator Rob Portmans office; and
county Commissioner Roy Klopfenstein.
Bargain Bin officers were recently stunned with the news that $80,000 is being anonymous-
ly donated toward the construction of a new Bargain Bin location. Officers of the group are,

all came back good.
I felt like I could start liv-
ing again. Dr. Shaw told me
that I was going to have a
long year but I appreciate all
of the help from doctors and
nurses, Panico said.
Panico said that she is hon-
ored to be selected as a Relay
For Life survivor and will
help lead the Survivor Lap on
May 30 to open the two-day
event. She noted that she had
heard of Relay For Life, but
the whole concept has taken
on new meaning to her.
All of life is different,
said Panico. I find myself
doing things Ive ever never
done before. Its crazy.
Panico said that she strong-
ly recommends that people
get their tests and not put
them off.
Dont be afraid. If you get
diagnosed, remember that
other people have it, too. The
key is to get started early,
Panico said.

The Amish Cook
By: Lovina Eicher
We invited some of the
church families back for a 6
p.m. supper and also the
youth in the community. We
had around 130 people here
for supper. On the menu for
supper was meat and potato
casserole (four big roasters
full), ham and beans, green
beans, tossed salad, and
dressing, bread, peanut butter
spread, pickles, hot peppers,
a variety of cakes and and ice
cream.
After everyone is done eat-
ing, the tables are cleaned and
the youth boys and girls (16
and over) all sit down to sing
songs. The men also sit and
help sing while the women
help wash the dishes. They
help sing as they wash dishes
so it makes it go faster it
seems. Our church has its
own set of dishes such as
glasses, coffee cups, and sil-
verware. The women put all
the dishes right back in the
totes and boxes so they are
ready to be carried out to the
bench wagon for the next serv-
ices. It is always so relaxing to
hear the singing after a long
day. We have three daughters
with the youth group already.
Time seems to go faster each
year. We were all tired and
ready for bed after everyone
had left by 9 p.m.
It makes it well worth your
It is a beautiful May morn-
ing with the sun shining and
the temperature already in the
60s, a perfect day for garden-
ing!
We had a nice but cool day
on Sunday to host church
services. It was council meet-
ing so church left out around
2:30 p.m. Services began at 9
a.m. Around 11:15 a.m. we
had everything ready to begin
serving lunch. We had table
settings for 34 people at a
time. After one table emptied,
dishes were washed and set
again for the next group. It
took over two hours to serve
everyone. Our church district
has well over 100 children
under age 16, so it takes time
for everyone to eat. Our menu
for lunch was chicken noodle
soup, homemade wheat and

Early introduction to
autism grabbed my heart
Ive never known a part of
my life when autism wasnt a
part of it. Following the death
of her husband because of a car
accident, my Aunt Eleanor re-
married and she and her second
husband bore two sons that
played major roles in my life.
Her oldest son, Max, was
autistic. When his parents
needed to go somewhere, they
would often bring Max to our
home. I was a child at the time
and Max a few years older than
me. I was quickly impressed by
his autistic characteristic of
echolalia (usually answered
back with the last word or a
key word in something youve
said) and his tendency to rock
in a rocking chair, hum cheer-
fully and play with a string.
The other son, Meredith
(Mert), became my lifelong
best friend. Both are now de-
ceased and I miss them very
much. Eleanors daughter born
by her first husband, my
moms brother, Norma, is my
first cousin.
Max was just a couple of
years old when family mem-
bers discovered speech and be-
havioral indications that
revealed that he wasnt going
to develop like a normal child.
Early on, he spent much of his
time at home, tenderly cared
for by a family seeking to un-
derstand his needs and signals.
When he was two-years old,
Mert was born, a loving
brother who became his 24-
hour caretaker late in life.
When Max was 19, his fa-
ther died of a heart attack, leav-
ing his mother, sister and
brother to assist with his care.
Eventually, he was enrolled in
a sheltered workshop where he
would spend a great deal of his
weekdays for the next 45 years
of his life.
Mert eventually became a
God.
One of the most heartrending
moments I recall with Max oc-
curred after he had been victim
of a very serious automobile ac-
cident. I went to visit him at the
hospital. When I approached his
bed, where he was beaten and
battered from the accident, with
his face all swollen, in his own
manner of speaking he looked
at me so pitifully and said, Jim,
Jim.
Then I said to him, Max,
Im going to pray with you.
Immediately, he bowed his head
and looked at me and said,
Jees, Jees. (Jesus).
These days, any reference
to autism grabs my heart. I
feel for the people and the
caretakers. I volunteer and
write for the need of autism
all that I can.
Even though Max and
many in his family have
passed on, I am aware that
there are many homes out
there with Maxs and care-
takers who are caring for
loved ones with unrecognized
dedication.
From the outside, most
people take little time to think
of those within, all that they
go through and the tremen-
dous sacrifices that are made.
HOMESPUN
By
JIM LANGHAM
full-time social studies teacher
but on weekends and summer
breaks, and when special needs
arose, he faithfully assisted
with Maxs care. Between his
mother, brother and sister, Max
was meticulously cared for.
In the midst of all of this,
Max developed a fullness for
life as he knew it. He loved to
hear the clip-clop of the Amish
buggies passing by their rural
home. He learned to communi-
cate his needs, joys and feel-
ings through various gestures,
one-word indications and other
visual means.
Max noticed things around
him in nature that many people
would miss, especially in the
animal kingdom. He found hap-
piness and excitement in identi-
fying animals on television, as
well as during special family
rides. He loved to put together
puzzles, especially those with
pictures of animals, and he es-
pecially took a liking to pigs.
Max had a special place in his
heart for spiritual warmth. He
bowed his head and folded his
hands when anyone prayed.
Even more so, Maxs simplicity,
enjoyment of little things and
especially a warm handshake,
indicated his special faith in

Oakwood Council approves new
member, receives resignation
By BILL SHERRY
Correspondent
OAKWOOD Oakwood Village Council ap-
proved resident Brent Meeker to fill an empty
seat on council Monday.
Mayor Erhard Bud Henke conducted the
swearing-in ceremony for Meeker, who replaces
late Councilwoman Vicky Long.
Councilwoman Heather Huff tendered her res-
ignation at the meeting as she has moved to
Leipsic in order to be closer to her job.
Council is again short one council person and
is looking for a community-minded individual
to fill the vacancy.
Village administrator John Keyes told council
that the spring village clean-up is scheduled from
9 a.m.-1 p.m. Saturday, May 31. The dumpsters
will be parked at the village maintenance area.
Oakwood Boy Scout Troop 19 will be assisting
as well as salvaging metal from the trash.
The scouts hope to get enough metal salvaged
to help with their summer expenses.
Council President Melissa Figert and Mayor
Henke presented council with a proposal to have
an outside contractor provide, install, maintain,
remove and store the lighted Christmas holiday
displays on 25 poles in the village each year. The
lighted displays will be installed the middle of
November and removed the following January.
The cost for this service with new or rebuilt
lights (replace burned-out bulbs and repair as
needed) each year would be $3,700 per year for
a three-year contract. Keyes noted that the
lighted decorations being used are in bad need
of repair and over half of the light bulbs are
burned out.
The purchase of new ornaments was discussed
but it was noted that new ornaments would cost
about $600 per pole.
Council unanimously voted to contract for the
rented lights at Christmas. It was noted that fund-
ing for these holiday lights would come out of
the street light fund.
Councilwoman Kelly Tumblin announced
that the Taylor B. Tumblin 5K run/walk will be
held on June 7 at the fire station. Registration is
at 9 a.m. with the race starting at 10 a.m.
Tumblin announced that the Oakwood fire-
fighters have offered to put on some fun activi-
ties for the kids the day of the race. The
firefighters will be having two air houses for the
kids and will be grilling food after the race.
Keyes told council that he was cleaning filters
at the water plant, the contractors had started put-
ting the new roof on the town hall and he will be
attempting to install the boat docks if the river
current slows down a little.
Oakwood Village Police Chief Mark Figert re-
ported the following calls received and cleared
for the month of April: welfare check (1), do-
mestic (2), theft (1), child abuse (1), criminal
mischief (1), assist EMS (2), information (2),

Dear Editor,
Otis was a fun loving
black lab who lived on a bird
farm. He never left my mom
and stepdads (Kim and
Robert Kanney) nine
wooded acres right outside
of Antwerp. He loved to
swim in the pond with the
family and followed my
mother around doing her
chicken chores, never both-
ering a single hen.
He snuggled up to my
mother every night, keeping
her warm, and consoled her
during this stressful time.
You see ... my mother was
diagnosed with breast cancer
recently. Four days before
my mother went to Parkview
for her nine-hour- long sur-
gery for her cancer, Otis
went missing.
Just 48 hours before she
went to surgery, my stepfa-
ther was called. A woman on
her morning walk found
Otis. He was shot through
his identification tags with
his collar still on, wrapped
in a tarp and pitched in a
ditch seven miles away from
my familys farm.
Please, if you know any-
thing about this notify the
dog warden at 419-399-
3791. This was an illegal act
and the responsible party
should be held accountable.
We would hate to have an-
other family have to go
through this. There is a
$1,000 dollar reward so
please speak up.

In My Opinion
A trip back home
opened my eyes
Just the other day I went home. The place I was born,
reared as a child, graduated from high school the place I
developed memories, good memories. Then I left for college
and life took on a series of twists and turns that never al-
lowed me to go back to Rushville, Indiana except for brief
visits.
So, going home was an eye opener and not necessarily a
good one at the start. My rea-
son for going home was to
attend a funeral. I was home
for just a few hours but long
enough to see how things
had changed over the years.
Leaving the funeral home in
the processional and crawl-
ing through town at a slow
pace to the cemetery, I had
the chance to witness downtown, or at least, what is left of
downtown.
There was nothing that looked special about todays Main
Street. Oh, I remember the day when there were clothing
stores, paint and wallpaper stores, furniture stores, restau-
rants, and two pharmacies, just to name a few. The place to
be on Friday or Saturday night was downtown. There was
even a movie theater where the young kids would go on Sat-
urday afternoon but thats not the case today.
What was missing today obviously made me think of all
that had changed. However, the saddest part of the trip was
seeing how my town had grown old painfully old. Build-
ings that once stood erect with bright lighted store fronts
were now leaning in one direction and dark. I was sad but
more than the feeling of sadness; I was embarrassed.
Once I arrived at the cemetery, my embarrassment sub-
sided to some degree. Standing near the burial site I was at-
tending was another site just across the narrow lane that
peaked my interest. It was the location where Wendell
Willkie is buried. Willkie ran for president back in the 1940s
and was defeated by Franklin Roosevelt. Willkie was not
from Rushville but married a girl from there and his national
campaign office was in this little town of 7,000. He adopted
Rushville, Indiana as his hometown, although he was origi-
nally from Elwood, Indiana. For a moment, standing on the
hillside with the spring breeze blowing across the many
stones of granite, my embarrassment slowing moved to a
sense of pride. After all, some one who was so close to being
president of the United States was from my home town sort
of.
Later that day, I finally made it back home to Paulding
County. Thankful for the opportunity to go home and yet I
still felt emptiness in my heart. I have no plans to return
home anytime soon. Todays trip was enough to see what
once was and to hopefully experience a better tomorrow
when I return home someday.
Late that evening when I finally sat down to my computer
and read my emails and looked at what was happening in my
little world of social media, I read another story about home.
One of my classmates from 1970 posted that Janet Gray
Hayes had died. Like all of you, I had no idea who she was,
but I read on to discover she also graduated from Rushville
High. She also made something out of her life. Hayes was
the first woman to become mayor of a major US city with a
population of over 500,000. In 1974 she was elected mayor
of San Jose, California and led the city through two success-
ful four year terms. Hayes died recently at the age of 87 and
while sitting at my desk after a long day, my chest a little
puffed out, because here was a successful person from my
home town. This place that had changed so much, I wonder
how anything good could come from within its city limits.
So, I admit, my home town might look sad on the outside
and its not what it once was but it is home. I can make fun
of it, be embarrassed by it, and even be ashamed at the way it
has fallen apart over the years. But its not about the outside
but about the inside. The inside are the people and those who
take their home town upbringing and used it to make a differ-
ence like Willkie and Hayes. Home may not feel all that
great when you go back to visit but feelings change and our
embarrassment can quickly become a sense of pride.
So, heres an idea for this summer. If you are looking for a
place to go for a few hours or a few days why not pack up
the family and go back home. Dont wait until there is a fu-
neral, just go home and enjoy Main Street. The buildings
may lean and the changes may be heart breaking, but visit
the people because its the people who make all the differ-
ence.

Coaches hired, lunch prices
increase at Antwerp Schools
By JOE SHOUSE
Correspondent
ANTWERP An increase
of lunch prices and the ap-
proval of coaches for 2014-15
highlighted the Antwerp
Local School board meeting
held Thursday, May 15.
Superintendent Patricia
Ross brought attention to the
outstanding amount in stu-
dent fees that have not been
paid.
We have $27,000 in un-
paid student fees that have
not been paid. We need to
consider ways in which we
can encourage parents to pay
these bills This is no different
than the responsibility we
have as parents to pay our
regular bills, said Ross.
Concerning other financial
responsibilities, Ross re-
ported that lunch prices for
next year will increase 25
cents. The board approved
the increase that will place
the price for a daily lunch at
$2.75 for grades 6-12, $2.50
for grades K-5 and $3.50 for
adults.
Following an executive
session, the board unani-
mously voted to pass on to
administrative and non-certi-
fied personnel a 2 percent
salary increase.
Mike Bute, middle
school/high school principal,
shared with the board the pre-
liminary test scores on the
OGT testing by Antwerp
sophomores. The percentage
reported is the number of stu-
dents who were proficient in
a particular subject. Results
include: writing 91 percent,
reading 93 percent, math 79
percent, social studies 95 per-
cent, and science 89 percent.
Bute reminded those in at-
tendance of graduation set for
May 25 and the last day of
school for seniors is sched-
uled for May 22. For under-
classmen, the final day is set
for May 28.
Tim Manz, elementary
principal, said the volunteer
breakfast is slated for May 28
at 7:15 a.m. with the elemen-
tary awards program on the
same day at 8:30 a.m.
Treasurer Kristine Stuart
gave the financial report for
the month of April. Total re-

In The
Garden
Its hard to believe that
were still cranky about the
weather at this late date, but
the truth is, we still havent
settled into a comfortable no-
coat weather pattern. With
frost in outlying areas just last
week, its hard to believe
were approaching Memorial
Day, the unofficial start to
summer.
Spring has brought new ex-
periences for many gardeners
this year, even those of us
who have been doing this for
a while. We knew that wed
lose some plants and that
spring was likely to be a bit
wonky when it came to our
gardens, but we were hoping
for the best.
There are still things trying
to wake up from that night-
mare of a winter, including
the hardy hibiscus and butter-
fly weed. Even a few shrubs
and trees are leafing out at the
speed of ... well ... a slow
crawl. These are the times
when patience serves us well,
if we can manage to find it.
One of the hardest things
hit for nearly everyone was
the roses. Its not surprising
that some hybrid teas and
grafted varieties came out on
the losing side of things, but
those darlings of the rose
world the Knock Outs
didnt fare so well either.
These were supposed to be
the answer to many of the
common problems that roses
have roses for Every Man.
When the Knock Out rose
hit the market in 2000, it was
promoted as disease resistant
(specifically to black spot),
drought tolerant, repeat
blooming, and self-cleaning.
Knock Out breeder William
Radler spent many years se-
lecting and crossing the best
performing roses with these
traits until he consistently got
those that excelled in these
areas.
Knock Outs have lived up
to all the claims, and has be-
come the best-selling rose of
all time. Today, there are
seven different varieties, in-
cluding red, pink, yellow, and
single and double bloomers.
Whereas most repeat-bloom-
ing roses will have three dis-
tinct flushes of blooms in a
season, the Knock Outs typi-
cally have four or more.
Knock Outs are supposed
to be hardy to zone four, but
even the wonder rose has
its limits. This past winter re-
sulted in most of them dying
pretty much all the way back
to the ground, but the good
news is that in most cases
they will grow back vigor-
ously from the roots.
Cut them back to live tis-
sue, evening up the canes,
fertilize as you normally
would, and your Knock Outs
should be just fine. They may
remain smaller this year than
in previous years, but theyll
be back. The same goes for
many other rose varieties.
This is a good time to men-
tion the importance of
mulching. Mulch serves sev-
eral purposes in the garden,
with perhaps the most impor-
tant one being that it helps
regulate soil temperature. It
can keep plants cooler during
the hotter days of summer as
well as helping to keep the
soil from drying out.
In winter, mulch provides
an extra blanket of insulation
against colder temperatures
and moderates the effects of
the freeze-thaw cycles that
naturally occur. When fall
comes, be sure to mulch high
around the base of your roses
to give them extra protection.
Its normal to have some die-
back because of cold winter
temperatures, but the extra
mulch will help reduce it.
This spring, many plants
are proving their resilience.
Some will succumb, but
given time, most will recover.
Chins up, friends.

NO GREEN THING FOR ME
One day, while checking
out of a grocery store, the
cashier told a lady in front of
me, You really ought to
bring your own bags and not
use the plastic ones, as they
are not good for the environ-
ment.
The lady replied, Well,
back in my day, we didnt
have the green thing. The
clerk responded, It was
probably your generation
who was responsible for pol-
luting the world and didnt
follow recycling and clean air
practices.
Ha! Ha! I personally
thought to myself. Back in
my generation, first of all, we
had perhaps one radio in the
household and maybe a little
screened black and white TV
if we were lucky. We did not
have monstrous 50-inch
screens which used a lot of
energy. No, we didnt have
the green thing. No one had
computers, iPads or note-
books to play on until day-
light.
We also got milk and pop
in bottles. These bottles were
sent back to the beverage
company and cleaned and
reused. We wore hand-me-
down clothes and did not
throw them away when we
out grew them but passed
them on down. We drank
water from a well and never
heard of bottled water you
had to pay for. But we did not
have the green thing.
We used cloth diapers
which were washed and hung
on the line to dry by solar and
natural wind power. We went
to bed early, lights out by 10
and we saved on power.
Everyone in the family did
not have a vehicle. Usually
everyone just had one car per
household. We walked to
school and to and from school
activities. But we did not call
this the green thing.
In the kitchen, we used big
spoons to stir and blend with
or a hand powered egg beater.
We did not have a microwave
A Penny For
Your Thoughts....
By: Nancy Whitaker
but used a stove top and oven.
We rode bicycles, not four
wheelers. We were thrifty on
gas money and maybe only
went to town once a week.
Our green practice for the en-
vironment was there, but that
was how we lived.
If we did have old, old
clothes, they were torn up and
used for making perhaps a
rug. We grew gardens,
canned foods and sat on the
porch in the evenings listen-
ing to the katydids and watch-
ing lightening bugs.
Seeds from our gardens
and flowers were carefully
saved from year to year and
reused.
I think our generation al-
ways practiced the protection
of our air space only it was a
way of life ... not a green
thing.
Do you think the past gen-
erations used energy exces-
sively or contributed to
environmental problems
today? Let me know and I
will give you a Penny for
Your Thoughts.

Winning the Battle for a Generation
By Rick Jones
Defiance Area Youth for
Christ executive director
Do you know where youre
going?
When driving your vehicle
on a trip for vacation or to
visit a loved one or a friend,
have you ever been lost? I
must confess that its hap-
pened to me more times than
I would like to admit. Part of
the remedy to solving the
puzzle to being lost has to do
with knowing where you are
going, that is to say, do you
know where youre headed,
your goal or destination? I
read something this past week
that accentuates this truth, to
be sure we know where
were headed.
The Boeing 747 Dream-
lifter is the modified plane
that can haul more cargo than
any plane in the world. It
weighs about 600,000 pounds
and usually requires a runway
of 9,200 feet. But in Novem-
ber 2013, a wayward Dream-
lifter missed its intended
destination of McConnell Air
Force Base near Wichita,
Kansas. Instead, the jumbo
cargo plane landed nine miles
north at the wrong airport
the city owned Jabara Airport.
Jabara has no control tower
and a 6,100-foot runway.
A spokesperson at Mc-
Connell Air Force Base the
right airport said, The
tower was in contact with the
pilot [but] the guy had no
clue where he was landing.
The pilot told the McConnell
radio tower, Apparently, uh,
we, uh, have landed at Beech
Factory Airport (a third air-
port located between Mc-
Connell and Jabara).
Eventually it got sorted out.
The aimless pilot finally fig-
ured out which wrong airport
he had landed his plane. A re-
placement crew came and,
after removing most of the
cargo, they were able to take
off on the shorter runway and
get the plane to McConnell,
the right airport.
The disciples expressed a
concern over not knowing
their destination, or for that
matter; if they did know
where they were headed, how
would they get there?
John 14:5-6 (NIV), 5
Thomas said to him, Lord,
we dont know where you are
going, so how can we know
the way? 6 Jesus answered,
I am the way and the truth
and the life. No one comes to
the Father except through
me.
Do you know where you are
going spiritually, are you con-
fident of your eternal destina-
tion? If not, why wait or
gamble with your soul? You
can be assured of your eternal
destination; that Jesus will be
with you, not only in your jour-
ney but in your safe landing.

PED update: USDA to
control outbreak reporting
By Mark Holtsberry
Education specialist
Paulding SWCD
The total number of fig
farms that have tested posi-
tive for the porcine epidemic
diarrhea (PED) virus now
stands at 6,019 in 30 states.
USDA announced farms
stricken with a deadly pig
virus must report outbreaks as
part of a new program to help
monitor and possibly control
the spread of the disease.
PED has killed millions of
pigs in 27 states since show-
ing up in the United States,
with Illinois, Iowa, Min-
nesota, and North Carolina
being hit hardest. The disease
has been blamed for recent
increases in bacon and pork
prices. Farmers have strug-
gled to control the virus be-
cause little is known about
how it spreads and there is
not yet a federally approved
vaccine.
The U.S. Department of
Agriculture said it would step
up efforts by requiring farms
to report infections and labs to
report positive tests from sub-
mitted tissue and fecal sam-
ples. Farms that suffer an
outbreak also will have to par-
ticipate in a program to help
control the spread of the dis-
ease: details of that program
have not yet been worked out.
The USDA said that it
would commit $5 million to
fight the disease, boosting the
$1.7 million research effort al-
ready begun by the pork in-
dustry. It also will require
farmers to report cases of a
similar disease, swine delta
coronquirus.
Believed to be from China,
PED poses the most risk to
newborn piglets, which die
from dehydration. It does not
infect humans or other ani-
mals. The USDA has already
been looking at how diseases
like PED could spread within
the United States and said it
will work with state agricul-
ture departments to track the
disease and keep tabs on the
movement of animals, vehi-
cles and other equipment
from infected farms. Some
states now require a veteri-
narian to certify that pigs
coming to farms or slaughter
houses are virus free. The
USDA did not appear likely
to institute quarantines,
which could cripple the pork
industry by stopping the
movement of animals to
slaughter.
Agriculture secretary Tom
Vilsack said in a statement:
Todays actions will help
identify gaps in biosecurity
and help us as we work to-
gether to stop the spread of
these diseases and the dam-
age caused to producers, in-
dustry and ultimately
consumers.

Commissioners Journal April 28,
2014
This 28th day of April, 2014, the
Board of County Commissioners met
in regular session with the following
members present: Tony Zartman,
Roy Klopfenstein, Fred Pieper and
Nola Ginter, Clerk.
MEETING NOTES OF AP-
POINTMENTS
County Auditor Claudia Fickel
presented paperwork to advance
funds to the Moving Ohio Forward
Fund (Fund 190, see resolution
below). She also discussed the need
to clarify the verbiage in the county
employee manual regarding vacation
accrual calculation for full-time/part-
time status, the waiting period before
benefits are earned/payable, and
whether or not prior county employ-
ment should be considered when cal-
culating vacation. The current
employee manual was provided by
CCOA. The commissioners agreed to
follow-up on this issue.
Brandon Gerken, State Bank, pre-
sented paperwork for the CIC #2
note.
Kris Gerken, Huntington Insur-
ance; county insurance committee
Gerken presented the renewal infor-
mation for the county employees
health insurance benefits effective
June 1. Gerken reviewed the medical
benefits reports comparing renewal
with the current carrier (Medical Mu-
tual (MMO)) to changing to Anthem
through CEBCO. CEBCO (County
Employee Benefits Consortium of
Ohio) is a group made of of 33 coun-
ties in Ohio. CEBCO offers several
plans to chose. Gerken quoted the
plan that most closely matched the
current MMOs.
Gerken noted the renewal rates
from Medical Mutual show a signif-
icant increase. The rates from
CEBCO/Anthem are lower than the
current Medical Mutual rates. He
also reviewed the historical renewal
experience, noting the average (along
with the minimum and maximum)
annual increases since 2005.
Gerken also noted there is no
buy-in obligation; however, there
is a three-year commitment. He then
explained that the three-year commit-
ment would begin Jan. 1, 2015. Open
enrollment will be Nov. 1-15 for the
following year renewal.
Gerken noted the life insurance
carrier and rates would not change.
He also added there will not be ad-
ministrative fees; however, should
the commissioners chose to retain
Huntington, a consulting fee will be
charged. The commissioners agreed
they would not pass that cost on to
the employees, but would cover the
cost from their budget, as has been
done previously.
He pointed out there are only a
couple of disadvantages to making a
change in health insurance carriers.
The major change that will effect
several employees relates to the de-
ductible carryover. CEBCO will not
carry over any deductible amounts
paid so far in 2014 under the Medical
Mutual plan. Gerken noted the
CEBCO/Anthem deductible would
have to be met for the remainder of
2014 and then would be met on a cal-
endar year beginning January 2015.
The other drawback is there is
only one plan offered (there are cur-
rently two plans offered through
Medical Mutual).
Gerken referred to the Good to
Know Items page in the benefit
handout. This page explained the ID
cards (one for Anthem and one for
Express Scripts), with information on
how to obtain additional cards, if
necessary. Instructions pertaining to
prior approval/authorization for a
medical procedure and/or prescrip-
tions were also included. Express
Scripts and Accredo Specialty Phar-
macy contact numbers were pro-
vided.
Gerken then noted the new plan
will be Anthem-Blue Assess (PPO)
and that employees will be able to lo-
cate provider information on line. He
also commented that new hires will
have 30 days after their date of hire
to enroll.
Gerken assured the group the
commissioners decision to change
carriers is the best long-term choice
for the county employees. He re-
marked that no county has left
CEBCO since its inception in 2004.
In attendance were: Ann Pease,
Carol Temple, Jennifer Wiswell,
Cindy Kennedy, Claudia Fickel, Lou
Ann Wannemacher, Michelle Stahl,
Bill Edwards and Cindy Peters.
AUDIT COMMITTEE
The commissioners hosted the
quarterly audit committee meeting.
Those in attendance were: Ann
Pease, Carol Temple, Jayme Landers,
Claudia Fickel, Jennifer Wiswell,
Lou Ann Wannemacher and Tiffany
Beckman.
Wannemacher was asked to give
the group an update on current in-
vestments. She reported she invests
over $8 million for the county and its
entities. She noted she recently se-
cured a 13-month CD for $500,000
at .75%, commenting when she first
took office, CDs were at 4%. The
dive in and fluctuating interest rates
make estimating the interest income
a challenging and difficult task. Her
estimated interest income for 2014 is
$42,000.
Sales tax received in April (for
February 2014) was down
$25,368.44 from March receipts (for
January 2014). April sales tax was up
$1,633.49 from the three-year aver-
age for the month of April.
Fickel presented the General Fund
Receipts and Expenses reports for
first quarter 2014, ending March 31.
Receipts to the General Fund were
$1,872,189.78 and expenses were
$1,135,884.15. The 17% increase in
receipts from first quarter 2013 was
largely due to one of the wind farm
companies making a full year PILOT
(Payment in Lieu of Taxes).
Fickel gave a brief update of the
state audit. She noted Plattenburg
was here for a week, collecting data.
They will return in a couple of weeks
to finish the audit.
Judge Tiffany Beckman reported
the common pleas courts website is
up and running, with links to other
county offices websites. The website
address is: www.pauldingcommon-
pleas.com.
Pease reported the interior paint
project has really given the court-
house a facelift. She noted the Title
Office Fund was able to pay for the
project.
Temple was excited to announce
the deeds and property transfers will
be digitized soon. Records from 1823
to 1990 will be scanned and pre-
served during this process. Records
from 1990 to present are already
computerized. Temple has a special
fund to pay for this project.
Judge Beckman reported she had
recently attended a seminar that she
found very worthwhile. She com-
mented common pleas court has been
really busy lately.
Wannemacher verbalized her con-
cern about the lack of communica-
tion from office to office. She
suggested that the monthly meet-
ings/luncheons be reinstated. Judge
Beckman suggested that meeting at-
tendees just brown-bag it for
lunch. She agreed it would be nice to
take time out to update each other.
Commissioner Klopfenstein re-
ported the commissioners recently
met with EMA regional representa-
tives. They emphasized county
EMAs should meet the requirements
of your county. The commissioners
were encouraged to build your own
program. The county EMA director
needs to be a resource person and
must be a team player. Klopfenstein
noted he has had a lot of positive
input from first responders, fire
chiefs and EMTs.
The commissioners reminded at-
tendees of the ALICE training on
Monday, May 5 on the main floor of
the courthouse.
The next quarterly audit commit-
tee meeting will be held in the com-
missioners office on Monday, July
28 at 11 a.m.

and financial statements for Dec. 31,
2013 and 2012. He noted February
2014 revenue was the lowest in sev-
eral years, He attributed it to the
harsh winter weather and low outpa-
tient activity.
Adkins commented on the
changes in hospital activity as a re-
sult of Obamacare. He noted they
have been proactive in making
changes in how they deliver health
care.
Looking ahead, Adkins mentioned
several positive changes that will
hopefully enable the hospital to brave
the storm. He was excited to share
the Paulding County Hospital has
several other health care providers
they are partnering with, resulting in
a win-win situation. He assured the
commissioners that has been no dis-
cussions regarding selling the hospi-
tal.
Adkins reported there are only 11
county hospitals in Ohio. Paulding
Countys is the smallest; however,
was ranked No. 1 in the state in af-
fordability. It is classified as a criti-
cal care hospital.
The commissioners commended
Adkins and Goshia for their excellent
management and vision for the hospi-
tal.

Joe Fifer, Junction Bible Christian
Church, met with the commissioners
for clarification on the churchs sewer
bill. Reverend Fifer shared his history
with the church, having been there for
four years. He and his congregation
have several projects in mind. Fifer
noted they have been serving 60 family
units through a mobile food pantry. Es-
tablishing a permanent food pantry is a
priority.
Reverend Fifer reported the church
is currently having dilapidated build-
ings on their property cleared to even-
tually put up a building that would
house the food pantry, with space for
other outreach programs. Fifer noted
those that utilize the food pantry on a
regular basis are either down on their
luck, the elderly, or the impoverished.

tually start a jail ministry that would be
focused on the family unit upon release
of the inmate. The goal is to guide the
former inmate and the family into a
successful life style. Reverend Fifer
stated they are interested in a hand up
as opposed to a hand out situation.

Sarah Noggle, Agriculture and Nat-
ural Resources, Extension Educator;
and Staci Hiler, 4-H Youth Develop-
ment, Program Assistant. Noggle and
Hiler met with the commissioners to
report on the first quarter 2014. They
had prepared a PowerPoint presenta-
tion and provided handouts for the
commissioners review.
Hiler reported on 4-H membership.
She noted Paulding County has set a
record with 352 members enrolled in
4-H for 2014. Of the 352 members, 96
are new. She began her membership
promotions in December with 4-H
school visits in the county elementary
schools. She noted the state has a new
system of enrolling youth in the 4-H
Youth Development Program. Once
enrolled, it is easier to send information
to 4-H youth and volunteers. Hiler
noted it took her about 30 hours to
enter the 350 Paulding County 4-H
members and 25 volunteers.
Noggle reported she has a postal
mailing list with over 600 producers,
businesses, farm managers and agricul-
tural supporters to keep them better in-
formed on agricultural, food and
natural resource and extension topics
and issues. She also sends a monthly e-
mail newsletter to over 400 Paulding
agricultural producers and agribusiness
partners. Working with Michigan State
University, Noggle was able to secured
a $7,500 cover crops grant for Paulding
County. This grant is for research and
education on cover crops. Noggle also
noted a grant for $1,500 for educational
collaboration opportunities with the
NOCAC and Headstart of Paulding
County, local preschools, and the
Paulding County SWCD. This grant
was possible through the OSU Exten-
sion Master Gardener volunteers via
the Paulding Putnam Round-Up Grant.
Hiler noted she sends 250 bi-
monthly 4-H newsletters to all 4-H
families and volunteers. This newslet-
ter provides information, and reminds
4-H families of important dates and
deadlines. Hiler expressed her appreci-
ation to Donna Crowley (4-H volun-
teer) for assisting in the processing of
the newsletter. Hiler announced the
2014 4-H camp at Camp Palmer has
been set for July 9-13. She noted there
are 32 teen youth that have shown in-
terest in being camp counselors. Camp
counselors receive 24 hours of training
prior to camp. Training includes basic
first aid, behavior management and
communication skills. Hiler stated 110
4-H members attended camp last year
and she is hoping for 125 this year. She
writes grants for camp fees for those
who may need the financial assistance.
Noggle then talked about Paulding
County Agronomy Day, held Jan. 30.
Approximately 100 people were in at-
tendance, including 25 sponsors. Hiler
reported holding 4-H officer training
on Jan. 13. Thirty members attended
training sessions to learn about their
duties as a 4-H club officer. Sessions
were taught by Jr. Leaders and other
volunteers. An installation ceremony
was held at the close of the training ses-
sion.
Noggle announced the creation of
an Ohio State University Extension
Facebook page and Twitter news feed.
These will be used for updates and in-
formation on agricultural educational
topics and issues on the county, state,
and national levels. Noggle also ex-
plained the Ohio Sensitive Crop Reg-
istry, which develops awareness of a
variety of agricultural areas to help
keep a safe and viable community.
Paulding County has 86 registered bee
hive locations and there are 13 apiaries
registered. Noggle reported recertify-
ing over 25 Paulding County farmers
for pesticide application. This certifi-
cation is every three years.
Hiler reviewed the Maumee Valley
EERA annual 4-H Regional Advisor
Training. This program educates the 4-
H advisors about the 4-H Youth Devel-
opment Program and other areas that
may challenge 4-H club advisors. This
year, the session focused on how to in-
corporate parents in the traditional club
setting to make their 4-H club even
stronger, through parent involvement.
Hiler also noted she has been very
proactive in writing articles in both
local newspapers to explain and edu-
cate the public about 4-H.
Noggle explained the Master Gar-
dener volunteer training. This year the
training was focused around vegetable
crop production. Paulding County cur-
rent has 12 Master Gardener volunteers
who meet monthly and plan commu-
nity service.
Hiler continued by reviewing the
Quality Assurance program. Junior fair
exhibitors are required to attend this
training to qualify to exhibit at the
county fair. This years program fo-
cused on educating youth about live-
stock production through the use of an
appropriate veterinarian/client/patient
relationship as a tool for making appro-
priate medication decisions for their 4-
H animals well-being.
Noggle remarked she has been
fielding a lot of questions via phone
calls and e-mails regarding cash rental
rates, farm land leases, and succession
planning and pesticide recertification.
Hiler educated the commissioners
on the Chick Quest School Enrichment
Program. She reported over 120 third
graders recently participated in this 4-
H school enrichment program. Chick
Quest is a classroom journey through
the life cycle of a chicken. This pro-
gram challenges elementary students to
use science, technology and engineer-
ing to investigate the life cycle of an
embryonic egg.
Noggle and Hiler will be meeting
with the commissioners quarterly with
updates to the services provided by the
Paulding County Extension Office.
Becky Suvar, WMEA, met with the
commissioners to express some con-
cerns about the WMEA program as-
sisting the Paulding County Board of
Election in transporting the voting ma-
chines to the polling sites. The com-
missioners were receptive to her
comments and advised her to commu-
nicate her intentions to the board of
elections.
Corey Walker, Defiance/Paulding
Consolidated JFS, reported the air con-
ditioning unit in the Harrison Street
building in Paulding needs a fan
motor. He will get estimates for the
commissioners review.
Walker updated the commission-
ers on the status of Area 7. He sees

PERFECTION! Baumle shuts
down Archers in Wayne Trace win
By KEVIN
WANNEMACHER
Sportswriter
HAVILAND It was cold, windy
and miserable at Wayne Trace High
School Thursday night for Division IV
softball sectional action when Antwerp
visited the home of the Raiders.
But it was just perfect to Wayne Trace
pitcher Addison Baumle.
Baumle struck out 14 Archer hitters
and got a stellar effort from her Raider
teammates on defense in tossing a per-
fect game and leading the red, white and
blue to a 5-0 win over the county rival
Archers.
It was a dominant performance by the
Raider junior hurler, who threw only a
dozen balls out of 74 pitches in the con-
test. Baumle only had two batters who
received more than one ball in an at-bat
and struck out the side in the first, third
and fourth innings.
Everything worked tonight, stated
the Wayne Trace pitcher. I was able to
hit my locations and all of my pitches
were working well. My teammates de-
serve a lot of credit too because they
made some big defensive plays tonight.
Thats the way shes been all year,
noted Raider head coach and Addisons
dad, Jack Baumle. She has been very
consistent and thrown the ball pretty well
all season long. Shes only walked three
batters this year so she has been able to
throw strikes consistently.
After Baumle set down the Archers in
order in the first, the lady Raiders got all
the runs they needed in the home half of
the inning on a fluke play.
Emilie Linder walked to open the in-
ning before Brenda Feasby reached on a
passed ball despite striking out.
With runners on first and second and
Libby Stabler at the plate, both runners
took off attempting to steal. Antwerp
catcher Cheyenne Miller-Sweet tried to
throw to third to get Linder but the throw
bounced off Stablers helmet instead and
deflected into the outfield.
The errant throw provided plenty of
time for both Linder and Feasby to round
the bases and give Wayne Trace a 2-0 ad-
vantage.
Stabler followed with an infield single
but Archer hurler Kaiya Jemison got
three straight outs to escape further dam-
age.
It wasnt a good game to watch of-
fensively, noted the Raider head coach.
But it was two good pitchers and they
both threw the ball very well. Kaiyas
drop ball was very effective tonight and
that is something we have had trouble
with this year.
Antwerp again went in order in the
second, with a Jemison fly ball the best
chance for an Archer hit but Feasby cor-
ralled it in center field for the out.
The home half of the second started
with a Molly Crosby strikeout before
Shelby Critten walked. After a sacrifice
bunt by Mackenzie Swary moved Crit-
ten to second, Linder doubled to left to
plate Critten for a 3-0 advantage.
Feasby was hit by a pitch to put run-
ners at first and second before each stole
a base to move to second and third with
Stabler at the plate.
Stabler then reached on a grounder
that Archer third baseman Darian Bauer
was unable to handle, allowing both Lin-
der and Feasby to score and make it 5-0
Raiders.
From there, neither team threatened to
score.
Wayne Trace had only one more base
runner when Critten led off the fourth
with a walk. However, Jemison struck
out Swary, got Linder to ground out and
followed that with a fan of Feasby to end
the inning.
Jemison finished the night allowing
only two hits and one earned run while
walking three and striking out six.
With the game seemingly in hand, the
last two innings came down to finishing
the gem.
Baumle struck out Nikki Hughes to
start the sixth before Peyton Short hit a
ground ball to Raider third baseman
Brandy Bergman.
Bergmans throw was in the dirt but
dug out by Stabler at first, keeping the
Archers off the bases and the perfect
game on track.
The Raider hurler then finished the
sixth when Becca Johanns lined out to
Linder at short.
In the seventh, Avery Braaten struck
out on a 2-2 pitch before Emily Derck
grounded out to Stabler for the second
out.
Baumle then completed the master-
piece in style, fanning Miller-Sweet on a
1-2 pitch to send the Raiders to the dis-
trict semifinals.
It is a good win and we look forward
to the opportunity to move on, con-
cluded the Raider mentor. Now we
have to get ready to go play Wednesday
night in Bryan against North Central.
Wayne Trace is now 16-7 on the sea-
son and will play North Central tonight
in a 7 p.m. contest in Bryan.
The Eagles have recorded back-to-
back road victories in sectional play as
they won at Stryker 7-1 on May before
defeating Hilltop 7-3 in West Unity on
Friday. North Central comes into the
contest with a record of 8-15 overall
while finishing Buckeye Border Confer-
ence play at 2-8.
Earlier in the week, Antwerp posted
an 11-7 win at Montpelier in Division IV
sectional action to advance to the sec-
tional championship.
Kaiya Jemison got the win for the blue
and white, giving up nine hits and four
walks with two strikeouts in the com-
plete game effort.
Cheyenne Miller-Sweet had a double
and a triple for Antwerp with Avery
Braaten adding a pair of triples.
Coldwater slips past Panthers in sectional final
By JOHN PARENT
DHI Sports Editor
COLDWATER Paulding
junior Treston Gonzales did all
he could to slow down the
mighty Coldwater Cavaliers in
the Division III sectional final
held at Coldwater on Thursday
night. Gonzales limited the
Cavs to six hits and allowed just
one earned run, but the Panther
bats could get nothing going
and Paulding lost 3-1.
Coldwater moves to 23-4 on
the season and advances to the
district tournament at Ohio
Northern University next
Thursday. They will take on the
winner of the Parkway-Liberty
Benton game to be played on
Saturday afternoon. The Pan-
thers see their tournament run
end with a record of 9-12 this
season.
Coldwater right hander
Derek Thobe was on his game
on Thursday night, and wound
up going the distance using just
89 pitches in his complete game
victory. Thobe allowed just
three Paulding hits and issued
just one walk while striking out
six.
The Cavs scored single runs
in the second and third innings
before Paulding came back with
a run in the top of the sixth to
make things interesting. Cold-
water, however, pushed home
another run in the bottom of that
inning and Thobe retired the
heart of the Paulding order in
the top of the seventh to pre-
serve the victory.
Pauldings only offense came
when Alex Arellano walked in
the sixth and came around to
score on a single by Corbin Ed-
wards. Edwards paced the Pan-
ther attack with two hits on the
day. The only other Paulding
batter to reach base was senior
Quentin Vance, who was 1-for-
3.
The Cavs scored two of their
three runs on squeeze plays,
with Matt Kramer successfully
laying down the bunt each time.
Coldwater was led by Drew
Otten and Adam Klosterman,
who each posted 2-for-3 efforts
at the dish. Otten, Klosterman
and Grant Muhlenkamp scored
the runs for the Cavs.
Paulding finished Northwest
Conference play at 4-4 this sea-
son before knocking conference
rival Delphos Jefferson out of
the sectional tournament with a
9-8 win in Delphos last week-
end. Gonzales earned the save
in that game for Paulding. Ver-
sus Coldwater, he used 101
pitches (65 for strikes) in the
complete game loss. He allowed
two walks and struck out six.

A Special Tribute
Quick start propels
Patriots past Raiders
Apaches final run clinches
sectional win over Panthers
By KEVIN

HAMLER Host Patrick Henry scored four
times in the first inning and pulled away from
there to a 10-0 win over Wayne Trace in Division
IV sectional baseball action at Garrold Parratt
Field Friday evening.
The Patriots took advantage of two Wayne
Trace errors in the opening frame and recorded
three hits to break the game open and post the 4-
0 lead.
Derek Hoops started the inning with a single
before Kollin Spence walked to put runners at
first and second.
Sophomore second baseman Joe Nickels then
hit a grounder that was misplayed by Raider first
baseman Denver Burkley, with the throw to first
then getting away from pitcher Blaine Jerome,
allowing Hoops to score while Spence moved to
third and Nickels ended up at second.
Logan Ziegler followed with a double that
drove in both Spence and Nickels to make it 3-0
Patriots and the Raiders never recovered.
After Kyler Seemann reached via a bases on
balls, Josh Peterson hit a ground ball that was
misplayed by third baseman Austin Fast with
Ziegler scoring on the play.
Jerome, a freshman hurler for Wayne Trace,
settled down from there but the damage was
done. The Raider pitcher got Derek Kolpien to
hit into a fielders choice before striking out Jake
Montana and getting Brad Breece to ground out.
Blaine was really nervous, noted Raider
head coach Matt Noggle. He did all right and
we didnt make some plays behind him either.
They didnt really hit him that well and we
wanted to keep them off balance and Blaine did
that. But we needed to play defense and we
didnt do that very well.
Wayne Trace did have a couple of early scor-
ing chances.
In the first, Denver Burkley led off with a sin-
gle before Fast struck out. After a Colby Speice
groundout moved Burkley to second, Patrick
Henry pitcher Josh Peterson ended the inning by
getting Noah Stoller to hit a grounder to Patriot
shortstop Derek Hoops for the third out.
The second inning saw the Raiders put two
runners on but unable to drive them home. Aaron
Stoller struck out to start the frame before a
Grant Gillett single. After Seth Yenser reached
on a force out of Gillett, a walk to Cassidy
Hilkey put two runners on.
However, Peterson escaped any runs when
Jerome flied out to left fielder Brad Breece for
the third out.
It would be the last runner to reach second
base for Wayne Trace.
Peterson retired nine of the ten batters he faced
in the last three innings, allowing only a two-out
walk to Gillett in the fourth. The Patriot hurler
finished with seven strikeouts while allowing
two hits and two walks in posting the win.
Offensively, I thought our focus was good
early on, Noggle continued. The last three in-
nings I dont think we had the same focus at the
plate that we did the first two innings.
The Patriots added one run in the second on a
Seemann infield single that plated Spence for a
5-0 advantage.
Patrick Henry then put the game away in the
third with four runs and sealed the 10-0 win by
adding a single run in the fourth.
Jerome took the loss for Wayne Trace with
Speice tossing the final two innings. Jerome
struck out one and walked two in two innings of
work. Speice gave up three walks and fanned
two Patriot hitters.
The contest brought to a close the careers of
Raider seniors Colby Speice and Aaron Stoller.
They are two great kids, added the Raider
mentor. They will both be very successful peo-
ple. Each of them has been great to work with
and they were good for our younger kids. They
will be missed next year.
Wayne Trace closes the season with a record
of 7-15.

Paulding rallied for four runs
in the seventh but it wasnt
enough as host Fairview scored
in the bottom of the inning for
a 6-5 Division III sectional
championship win over the
Panthers Friday night.
Fairview led 1-0 after one
and pushed the margin to 2-0 at
the end of three innings. After
Paulding got one in the top of
the sixth, the Apaches appeared
to put the game away with
three in the bottom of the in-
ning for a 5-1 lead.
However, the maroon and
white made things interesting
with four runs in the seventh to
knot the score at 5-5 entering
the home half of the inning be-
fore the Apaches plated the
winning run.
Kolleen Boland got the win
for the Apaches, giving up five
hits, five walks and five runs
while fanning five. Emily Farr
took the loss for Paulding, sur-
rendering ten hits, six runs and
three walks with four strike-
outs.
Farr also had a double and
three runs batted in to lead the
Panthers, who fall to 5-13.
Paulding advanced in sec-
tional semifinal action with a 9-
6 win at Liberty Benton last
Tuesday.
Emily Farr gave up eight

Drug testing being considered at Wayne Trace
BY JOE SHOUSE
Correspondent
HAVILAND - Several
teachers, coaches and extra
curricular personnel were ap-
proved for 2014-15 and initial
steps towards a proposed drug
policy were taken at the Wayne
Trace Local Board of Educa-
tion meeting last Monday.
Drug testing was again a
topic of discussion and after
Superintendent Steve Arnold
reported on a future drug test-
ing policy, he recommended a
meeting be held with parents,
allowing them to express their
opinions and concerns in order
to move forward in the best in-
terests of the district.
The drug testing, if passed,
would involve both junior high
and high school students who
participate in extracurricular
athletic activities beginning
with the 2014-15 school year.
Following the superinten-
dents comments and recom-
mendation, the board voted to
hold a meeting on June 9 at 7
p.m. in the high school lecture
room. The meeting is sched-
uled prior to the monthly
school board meeting which is
set for 7:30 p.m.
The board approved the
Young Fives program that per-
mits a child to enroll in transi-
tional kindergarten if the
student turns five before Sept.
30 of the year in which they
apply for enrollment. The
change is in the new date of
Sept. 30 allowing younger
five-year-olds to be in the pro-
gram providing they go
through the screening process.
The board recessed briefly in
executive session allowing
them to discuss the hiring of
Jim Linder as athletic director.
Linders name was removed
from the consent agenda and
after a 4-1 vote in executive
session Linder was rehired.
The one dissenting vote was
cast by Perry Sinn.
In personnel matters, the
board:
Approved Alyssa Saylor
OAA booster class tutor for
2013-14.
Okayed volunteer coaches
Troy Branch and Anita Branch
for cross country, Jeremy
Daeger for boys golf, Bill
Rahrig for girls golf, and Jack
Baumle and Steve Sinn for
football.
Granted extended leave of
absence for Katie Perkins from
Aug. 9 to Nov. 7, 2014.
Accepted the retirement of
administrative assistant Ann
Olwin as of July 31, and to re-
hire her for the same position
beginning Aug. 1.
Agreed to the voluntary
transfer of Jessica Jacobs to
transitional kindergarten
teacher at Grover Hill begin-
ning next school year.

In My Opinion
Ponds used as a private
drinking water source
From the Paulding County Health Department
The State of Ohio allows the use of owner occupied, residen-
tial ponds as a drinking water source when other ground water
sources are inadequate for use or unacceptable due to naturally
occurring or manmade contaminants. A board of health approval
is required to accept an application for a pond as a private water
system.
All installation or alteration of the components to the pond or
disinfection system must be completed by a private water sys-
tem contractor licensed by the Ohio Department of Health and a
permit must be obtained from the health department.
There are rules regarding pond construction, control of the
watershed supplying the pond and strict design plans for contin-
uous disinfection and filtration for the drinking water supplied
from the pond. The filtration and disinfection is required to re-
move most harmful algae, reduce cysts and parasites and re-
move harmful coliform bacteria.
Facts most people do not know:
Ponds must have a minimum surface area of approximately
1/4 acre.
The watershed supplying the pond shall be free of barns,
poultry yards, cultivated fields and other sources of contamina-
tion.
All pond water shall be continuously filtered by a method
described in the rules.
The water shall be continuously disinfected by one of the
approved methods:
- Chemical disinfection
- Chlorination
- Iodination
Ultraviolet light disinfection units must meet the require-
ments in the rules.
Ozonation Ozone generators shall have corona arc indi-
cating lights.
The pond shall NOT be used for public recreational pur-
poses such as swimming, fishing, or boating.
Your pond drinking water should be tested routinely, but more
often if there is a chance of contamination or unexpected cir-
cumstances such as a drought or flood.
The fee for a general total coliform bacterial sample is $45 due
at the time the sample is taken. Water samples are currently
taken on Wednesday afternoons. Additional chemical analysis is
provided by our regulated laboratory, but must be scheduled
ahead. Call the health department to get a price quote for addi-
tional analysis. For questions on private water systems or to
schedule a water sample to be taken at your home, call the
Paulding County Health Department at 419-399-3921.

Antwerp ball fields receive deed,
new village website launched
By JOE SHOUSE
ANTWERP The Antwerp youth ball fields
have new ownership, Mediacom made its first
quarterly payment to the village, and the village
website is completed and ready to be viewed.
This information was reported by the village ad-
ministrator, Sara Keeran, at the Antwerp Village
Council meeting on Monday.
The Paulding County commissioners have
deeded the ball fields to the Antwerp Ball Asso-
ciation. In the event the association would cease
operation, the ground will be deeded to the vil-
lage. The property is to continue to be used for
recreational purposes no matter who owns the
property.
Antwerps new website is now online and can
be viewed at villageofantwerp.com. The new
website has a feature allowing anyone to enter
their email address and receive updates entered
by village personnel. Meeting dates, council
minutes, important notices such as waterline
breaks and power outages will be posted.
The village received its first Mediacom fran-
chise fee payment in the amount of $2,388.57,
representing the first quarter of 2014. It is antic-
ipated the village will receive the same amount
of payment each quarter. Payment to the village
is based on 5 percent of gross sales.
The planning commission reviewed areas
within the village currently listed as A-1 which
is for agricultural purposes and agreed the title
does not reflect current conditions in these areas.
Lots targeted to be rezoned are residential in na-
ture and should be rezoned as such.
A-1 allows for farm animals, which the village
does not want in residential areas. The planning
commission recommended to council that these
lots be rezoned to R-2 or multifamily. R-2 allows
single and multifamily homes to be built or re-
paired in this designation.
A public hearing will be scheduled and an or-
dinance will be voted on at the June council
meeting.
Police Chief George Clemens would like to
remind residents that if they are planning to be
away from their homes for an extended period
of time, to please call the department and request
their be security checks made on a regular basis.
The dwelling located at 114 Woodcox , ac-
cording to Clemens, should be condemned
after his inspection. Action will be taken to
have the house removed.
The recreation committee met and made the
following recommendations to council: addi-
tional mulch is around the playground equip-
ment in order to have the appropriate depth,
motion sensored lighting installed at the rest-
rooms and a crackdown on vandalism.
Mayor Tom VanVlerah commented that in-
dividuals caught vandalizing in the park will
be cited by the full extent of the law.
Clemens reported that for the month of
April, the department answered 127 calls for
service with 12 offenses being sent to Mayors
Court.
In other business:
A resolution of necessity to have levy ap-
proval and seeking the county auditor to cer-
tify the current tax valuation and the number
of mills required to generate $250,000 in rev-
enue for the purpose of purchasing a fire truck
unanimously passed.
An ordinance transferring $27,500 from
the general fund to the police fund for the op-
eration of the police department of the village
unanimously passed.
The first reading was heard for a resolution
requesting the county auditor to certify the
total current tax valuation and the dollar
amount of revenue generated by one mill for
a renewal levy. The five-year renewal levy
would generate $18,042 annually.
An ordinance authorizing a real estate
lease for agricultural purpose beginning in
2015 and running for five years to Mike
Wiesehan had its first reading.
The request for funding to the Paulding
County commissioners for the West Woodcox
waterline project will be included in their ap-
plication to the state. The 2015 project will
cost $171,000 and is 100 percent funded. The
village will pay the $26,000 engineering fees.
The villages planning commission has re-
viewed the comprehensive document. Once
council members have an opportunity to view
the plan, a vote will be taken to accept the doc-
ument.
Council approved the premium for the vil-
lages liability and real personal property in-
surance coverage due for renewal. Cost for the
insurance is $28,027, a slight increase over
last years amount of $27,414.
Dates to remember includes the Rib Fest
on June 7 and communitywide garage sales
scheduled for June 13-14.
Lady Raiders looking to take next step
By KEVIN
WANNEMACHER
Sportswriter
BRYAN Three Green
Meadows Conference teams
and one Buckeye Border Con-
ference squad will meet up in
the Division IV district softball
tournament at Bryan High
School this week with only one
of the four teams moving on to
the regional tournament.
In the opener on Wednesday,
GMC foes Hicksville (15-3)
will take on Edgerton (14-5) in
the first semifinal at 5 p.m.
The Lady Aces posted a 1-0
victory in Williams County
back in the first meeting on
April 17 so the Bulldogs will
look for revenge tonight.
Both teams are coming off of
run-rule victories in the sec-
tional championships.
Hicksville got past Edon 11-1 in
five innings while the Bulldogs
defeated Pettisville 16-3 to ad-
vance to tonights district semi-
final.
In the nightcap this
evening, a pair of squads en-
tering unfamiliar territory
will square off as Wayne
Trace (18-7) takes on North
Central (8-16).
The Eagles enter the con-
test coming off of a 7-1 win
over Stryker in the sectional
semifinal before posting a 7-
3 victory over Hilltop in the
sectional championship.
North Central is led into the
district tournament by senior
catcher Abbey Litzenberg, who
is without a doubt the leader on
the Eagle squad according to
head coach Joe Fidler.
She fills a big role for us in
the catchers spot, noted Fidler.
She has done a tremendous job
of leading this team and work-
ing with the younger players.
Junior Sabrina Pickford (.356
average, 23 runs scored, 14
stolen bases) is expected to lead
off for the Eagles followed by
freshman third baseman Alyssa
Swank (.297, 10 stolen bases,
12 RBI). The third, fourth and
fifth hitters look to be junior
Rachel Oxender (.338, 17 RBI),
Litzenberg (.279, 11 RBI) and
junior Reece Cogswell.
Rounding out the expected
Eagle lineup are freshman
pitcher Makayla Hayes (.308,
21 RBI), sophomore flex hitter
Tristan Tomblin (.239 average),
junior Macayla Wildrick and
freshman right fielder Kelsie
Sutton.
Junior second baseman
Rachel Shipman is the remain-
ing infielder for North Central.
Hayes will take the ball for
North Central after posting an
earned run average of 4.54 this
season along with a record of 5-
5. The frosh hurler has struck
out 59 batters in 71 innings
while walking 23.
We are a young softball
team, noted first year head
coach Joe Fidler. Our girls
have gotten better as the season
has progressed. I think game ex-
perience has been a big factor
for us and we have played with
more confidence here towards
the end of the season. The girls
had to learn how to play at the
varsity level and they have done
a good job of making the adjust-
ment.
Wayne Trace comes into the
contest with a record of 18-7 on
the year and the Lady Raiders
are coming off of three straight
victories over Antwerp, Holgate
and Delphos Jefferson.
The Raiders will go with ei-
ther Addison Baumle (9-4, 1.05
ERA) or Molly Crosby (9-3,
2.68 ERA).
Top hitters for Wayne Trace
include senior shortstop Emilie
Linder (.455 average, 33 runs,
22 RBI) followed by senior cen-
ter fielder Brenda Feasby (.361
average, 22 runs).
Senior first baseman Libby
Stabler (.353, 19 runs, 15 RBI)
and Baumle (.329, 22 runs, 13
RBI) also will get key at-bats
for the Lady Raiders. Others ex-
pected to start include junior
Molly Crosby (.291, 17 runs, 19
RBI), sophomore Carley
Wright (.270, 16 RBI), sopho-
more Sydney Critten, junior
third baseman Bailey Bergman
(.360, 18 runs, 18 RBI) and jun-
ior Mackenzie Swary (.268, 15
runs).
The district appearance is the
first since 2011 for North Cen-
tral while the Raiders are mak-
ing their first trip to the district
since 2010.
Master Gardener hotline available for questions
PAULDING With garden-
ing season here again, quickly
come the questions: Is this a
bad bug or good bug? Whats
wrong with this cabbage plant?
How does one transplant petu-
nias? Can these two plants
grow side by side? How much
water is too much?
To help the public with gar-
dening questions a Master Gar-
dener Volunteers (MGVs)
helpline will be available again
this year through The Ohio
State University Extension Of-
fice in Paulding. Community
members can call, email or
even stop in with a sample
plant or bug for volunteers to
look at and diagnose.
This free service will be
available from May through
mid-October from 9 a.m. until
noon each Tuesday. Volunteers
will help the public figure out
what the problem is and an-
swer their questions. If they
cannot help, they will refer
people to one of The Ohio
State University experts.
Questions can be called in to
419- 399-8225 or emailed nog-
gle.17@osu.edu. Walk-ins may
be brought to the office, located
at 503 Fairground Drive in
Paulding.
When calling the helpline,
supply as much information as
possible. The more data pro-
vided, the easier it is for the
trained volunteer to assist.
Personal visits with plant
samples are encouraged. In
many cases, seeing the prob-
lem makes diagnosing the hor-
ticultural concern easier. When
bringing a sample to the exten-
sion office, make sure it is of
sufficient size: a branch 1- to 2-
feet in length, a piece of sod the
size of a dinner plate or several
leaves of a plant. Samples that
are completely dead are not as
useful as portions of plants that
are just beginning to show
symptoms or withering.
E-mailing a question is very
helpful in identifying a plant or
plant growth problem. When e-
mailing, attach low resolution
photos so the problem can be
seen.
The helpline program gives
the public an opportunity to get
answers to their gardening, in-
sect, tree, flower, herb, wildlife,
pond, landscaping and fruit
questions from trained volun-
teers. Master Gardeners vast
knowledge is backed by The
Ohio State Universitys Col-
lege of Food, Agriculture and
Natural Resources research
faculty, allowing call center op-
erators to respond with the lat-
est and most pertinent
information. A network of re-
sources is available to them in-
cluding numerous informa-
tional fact sheets, an extensive
library and electronic technol-
ogy.
The Master Gardener pro-
gram is sponsored by The
Ohio State University and
Extension programs. Master
Gardener volunteers receive a
base training of horticulture
information plus continued
training to help prepare them
for this project. They have
completed rigorous program
requirements, communally
logging hundreds of volun-
teer hours working in gardens,
answering landscape and envi-
ronmental questions.
The Paulding County Exten-
sion program currently has 14
volunteers. During 2013 more
than 1,000 hours were donated
to community service projects
including the services of the
Master Gardener helpline.
In addition to the gardening
season hours, helpline assis-
tance is available year round,
but it may not be staffed in per-
son.
Dont just trust anyone
with your growing concerns
but go directly to the experts
for the best research based
answer to your question,
said Sarah Noggle, Paulding
Countys Extension Educator.
PARC Lane and PC Workshop recently participated in a Paint the Plow contest sponsored by
the Ohio Department of Transportations District One. Schools across the eight-county region
were invited to design and paint local ODOT snowplows to be judged by ODOT representatives.
One school from each county will be selected for competition to determine an overall winner.
This plow will be displayed at district headquarters in Lima. All plow blades will be available for
display at other events including county fairs and local parades and festivals. Entries were picked
up by ODOT before May 17. Winners will be announced May 23.
Wayne Trace FFA member
elected to state office
Matt Klopfenstein posed with his parents, Deb and Roy Klopfenstein after being recognized
as a member of the Ohio FFA State Officer Team recently. The Wayne Trace FFA chapter member
also earned his Ohio Star in Agribusiness award.
COLUMBUS - Matthew
Klopfenstein, a senior at
Wayne Trace High School
and a member of the Wayne
Trace FFA chapter, was
elected to serve on the 2014-
2015 Ohio FFA state officer
team as state treasurer. The
state FFA officer team con-
sists of six constitutional of-
ficers and up to 10 district
presidents.
In order to be elected,
Klopfenstein went through
months of preparation includ-
ing a written application and
essay, four interviews, a writ-
ten test and two appreciation
letters. Applicants must have
scored above 65% throughout
the interview process to be in
the running for a state officer
position.
After the announcement
was made, Klopfenstein said,
I was nervous and excited as
I sat and waited for the results
to be announced. Having my
family and friends there to
share the excitement meant a
lot to me. I am looking for-
ward to the upcoming year of
service as the state treasurer.
The new officer team will
begin their year of service
with training sessions where
they meet and get to know the
other team members, learn
about their duties and respon-
sibilities, and plan and set
goals for the upcoming year.
The Ohio FFA officers spend
the summer attending all of
the FFA Camp Muskingum
sessions.
During the fall, officers
present chapter workshops,
Greenhand speeches, and
conduct numerous fall camps
and coordinate and present the
Ohio Legislative Leadership
Conference. The officers serve
as delegates to the National
FFA Convention in October
and work hard preparing to at-
tend chapter meetings, activi-
ties, banquets and planning for
the State FFA Convention in
May.
Klopfenstein was also se-
lected as the State Star in
Agribusiness during the recent
State FFA Convention. This
award was based on an appli-
cation and onsite interview de-
tailing his business, Deborahs
Goldens, that involved the
breeding and sale of registered
Golden Retriever dogs.
Local law enforcement trains for special response situations
Capt. Shane Dyson, left, gives guidance to a small squad of deputies as they completed exer-
cises at Antwerp Schools recently for the Special Response Team. Taking in the instruction are,
from left Deputy Bill Lyons, Brandon Manz and Deputy Gary Deitrick. Lyons was one of several
road deputies to shadow the local SRT during its April training.
By DENISE GEBERS
PAULDING Members of an elite group of
law enforcement personnel train on a regular
basis for situations that may arise which would
be beyond their typical scope of work. They are
Paulding Countys Special Response Team
(SRT).
This group of eight men are members of the
Paulding County Sheriffs office or the reserves.
They get together monthly to hone their skills in
resolving hostage situations, surveillance, build-
ing entry, room clearing and executing search
warrants of a potentially dangerous nature.
Additionally, they work on first aid, fire arms
qualifications, self-defense and more.
According to the teams leader, Capt. Shane
Dyson, the group was organized in 2013. He said
the development was in response to the Sheriffs
realization there was a gap between what the of-
fices regular units are expected to do and what
might be needed in light of situations that have
come to light across the country.
During my mandatory training in Columbus
in 2012 before taking over the office, we expe-
rienced the Sandy Hook School shooting, said
Sheriff Jason Landers. That evening after
watching those events unfold, I knew I had to do
something different here at home to make our
children safer in case we ever had to deal with a
tragedy like Sandy Hook.
As we began to research A.L.I.C.E. (alert,
lockdown, inform, counter, evacuate) training
for our school districts, I knew we needed to be
more efficient and tactful while training so we
would be best prepared if we ever had a real
event here, he continued. Through discussions
with my management team, we believed having
a trained group would also allow us to have that
resource during hostage situations, search war-
rants or any other type of dangerous situation we
encounter.
I began approving purchases for necessary
equipment and training to assemble what is now
known as our Special Response Team, the sher-
iff concluded.
The goal of the team is to have specialized
training and equipment for situations that are
more volatile, said Dyson.
An Army veteran of 11 years, Dyson was a
Sergeant First Class with two tours of duty in
Afghanistan to his credit. He modifies military-
learned protocols to train the SRT.
In the past, Paulding County has been ex-
tended access to the Allen County (Ohio) Sheriff
Departments SWAT team. It was determined
something was needed locally to respond to im-
mediate threats so response time would not be-
come an issue.
Paulding Countys team actually trains with
the Allen County SWAT team on occasion and
will continue to do so. Their next joint exercise
will be in June when they complete pepper gas
training in an abandoned house here in the
county.
Capt. Dyson said that when organizing the
SRT was discussed, it was determined that an
entry team of at least six men would be ideal.
They added a sniper and spotter to complete the
array. Still more units may be added in the fu-
ture.
Currently, the team practices together eight
hours a month. In addition to working on re-
sponses to specific incidents, the team works on
communication within the team, security of team
members and refreshers of basic police training.
Most recently, the sheriffs K9 unit has been
introduced to the team.
We are learning to work with the dog; and he
is getting used to us, Dyson noted.
As the team gels as a unit with their special-
ized training, other road deputies are being
brought in to acquaint them with the teams tech-
niques. They were first involved with Aprils
training drills at Antwerp. That option will con-
tinue to be open to them, according to Dyson.
Van Wert and Edgerton police departments
also have special response teams. There has been
talk of some training exercises with these groups
as well.
Other Paulding County law enforcement
agencies are expected to be asked to join in some
training maneuvers at some point. Two on-duty
Antwerp officers stopped by in April and were
invited to participate informally.
We want to eventually train with local police
departments to familiarize them with our tech-
niques, said Dyson. That way they could sup-
plement with us if were in their venue.
Twice in the past six months the team has been
deployed. Dyson said both were for search war-
rants. The operations both went smoothly with
no trouble.
We are okay with the training, Dyson said.
We are still acquiring equipment.
He said the equipment is expensive, so grant
applications have been made to limit costs to the
office and, consequently, the taxpayers.
According to Chief Deputy Mark Butler, the
sheriffs office received a Justice Assistance
Grant for $4,500 from the Ohio Office of Crim-
inal Justice Services on April 30. The local office
contributed $734 as required by the grant, mak-
ing the project funds total $5,234.
Equipment mentioned in the grant application
included Kevlar helmets with accessories, bal-
listic and assault shields, night vision equip-
ment, a tactical backpack kit and more.
Because the grant was not made in the re-
quested amount, Butler said helmets and a
shield are what is being considered at this
time.
Team participation is voluntary, according
to Dyson. In addition to Dyson, members in-
clude Chief Deputy Butler, Capt. Dave Cline,
Lt. Tyler Stork, Deputy. Gary Deitrick and
Jano, Deputy. Rob Garcia, Deputy. Ron Mc-
Cabe, and Brandon Manz, who is not only a
lieutenant on the reserves, but a railroad law
enforcement officer as well.

Wishing Success
to all 2014 Grads
Discuss finances and
establish a financial
arrangement. Many college
freshmen struggle to manage
their money. Some might
never have had a job during
high school while others who
did work only did so to earn
spending money. But many
college students need more
than spending money once
they reach campus.
Rising tuition costs have
made it difficult, if not impos-
sible, for parents to bankroll
their kids everyday expenses.
As a result, many college stu-
dents find themselves forced
to manage their own money
for the first time in their lives.
Parents can teach simple
financial lessons, such as the
benefits of buying groceries
as opposed to dining out or
ordering in each night.
College is also where many
young men and women first
sign up for a credit card.
Parents can teach their kids
the basics of managing credit,
such as the benefit of paying
off a balance before interest
rates kick in and the negative
ramifications of missing pay-
ments.
Parents who can afford to
provide financial support for
their children enrolled in col-
lege should reach a financial
agreement with their children
before they are off to college.
Make sure kids know your
financial support does not
mean they have unlimited
access to your funds, and
make it known that such sup-
port will not continue if kids
arent performing well in the
classroom.
Encourage kids to con-
tact any roommates before
the school year begins. Part
of the trepidation many kids
have when leaving for college
concerns how they may or
may not develop a relation-
ship with their new room-
mate. Many schools assign
roommates months in
advance of the school year,
giving kids ample time to
make contact and make
arrangements about whom is
going to bring certain items,
such as a television or coffee
pot or even furniture if the
room can fit any.
Parents should encourage
such contact so kids can get a
feel of who they will be living
with and lay the groundwork
for a friendship before they
even step foot on campus.
The feeling of knowing some-
one on campus can greatly
reduce the anxiety many kids
feel when they arrive at
school for their freshmen ori-
entation.
The day a student leaves for
college is a significant day for
parents and students alike.
Parents can take a number of
steps to make the transition to
college easier for their col-
lege-bound son or daughter.
Many of this years high
school graduates will be leav-
ing home for a college cam-
pus in the fall. Such a depar-
ture is often bittersweet for
kids and parents alike. Young
men and women typically
look forward to the freedom
and independence that college
life can provide, but those
same men and women know
they will miss the familiarity
of home as well.
Parents, too, have mixed
emotions when kids head to
college, as their sadness over
a child leaving home is met
with the pride they feel that
the child they raised is setting
out to make their own way in
the world.
Few moments in life
involve such significant
change as the moment when a
young man or woman first
arrives on a college campus.
First-year college students
often dont know what to
expect once they arrive on
campus, but there are steps
parents can take to help their
kids prepare for college life.
Teach kids how to sched-
ule their time. One of the
things many college kids find
once they arrive on campus is
that their life is suddenly
much less structured and their
amount of downtime has
increased considerably.
Unlike high school, which
keeps many kids in class or
involved in extracurricular
activities from the early
morning through the late
afternoon, college affords stu-
dents much more free time,
which is theirs to use as they
see fit. Some kids dive right
into on-campus activities,
while others struggle to use
their free time to their advan-
tage.
Parents can teach time
management skills such as
how to establish a schedule so
all of that free time does not
go to waste. This schedule
can be adjusted on a weekly
basis depending on course-
work or extracurricular activ-
ities. Once kids learn to man-
age their time effectively,
including using breaks
between classes to review
notes from a recent lecture or
upcoming class, theyre likely
to get the most out of them-
selves academically and find
they have more time to pursue
extracurricular activities as
well.

Ann's Bright Beginnings preschoolers were recently visited by
Mrs. Beth Schweinsberg from the Animal Clinic and her Boston
Terrier, Booster. She told us about her job and how she helps our
pets to stay safe and healthy. We loved playing with Booster and
seeing all of his tricks. Shown here with Mrs. S and Booster are
the children in the morning class of four and young five year olds.
The Oakwood and Paulding Elementary choirs put on a combined per-
formance for both elementary buildings on Thursday, April 17th. The direc-
tors are Mrs. Nancy Wehrkamp (Oakwood) and Mrs. Dawn Sloan (Paulding).
Pictured are Kelsey Guyton, Mackenzie Lehman, and Megan Dearth.
The Oakwood Elementary
fifth and sixth grade band put
on their final performance for
the year on Monday evening,
May 5. Shown in the photo are
Audra Stuck and Jaylyn
Parrett. Audra performed a
song for the crowd that she
wrote.
Mr. Mark Holtsberry visited the kindergarten classes at Antwerp
Elementary and shared information about the many species of
native animals that can be found in Ohio. Students were able to look
at and touch animal furs and pelts.
Miss Hughes' Kindergarten students at Payne Elementary were surprised with a visit from Johnny Tincap for a Valentine's Day surprise!
After reading the story Thunder Cake by
Patricia Polacco, second graders in Mrs.
Bailey's class made their own thunder cake.
Students mixed the ingredients together as
thunder sound clips rumbled over them.
Polacco's book, which includes the cake
recipe, tells the story of a grandmother who
finds a way to dispel her grandchild's fear of
thunderstorms. Pictured here are Caydence
Shull, Collette Starbuck and Lizzy Zartman.
Mrs. Walls Kindergarten class at Grover Hill Elementary celebrated Dr. Seuss
birthday by making Thing 1 from The Cat In The Hat. The kids enjoyed writing
silly rhyming sentences and making oobleck.In picture L-R Ethan Fisher, Lexi
Moore, Addison Stoller, Torree Sinn, Myleigh Sheets, Adan Jasso, and Caden Sinn.
Mr. Chet Straley, formerly of Paulding, was a guest speaker in the third grades
at Paulding Elementary for a second year in a row. As an auctioneer and realtor,
he was able to share his expertise in these areas with the students as part of their
social studies unit on economics. Pictured with Mr. Straley are a few students
exercising their ability to bid on items.
As the Grover Hill sixth graders studied
motion and energy types and forms, they
researched and designed roller coast-
ers. See here the results of one groups'
efforts. Check out
http://ksinn.weebly.com/ for further pic-
tures. Pictured are Jessica Norling and
Andrew Sinn.
