Feature Writer
PAULDING As of Monday, Michael
Schweinsberg joined the Paulding County Extension Office as the new educator
in 4-H Youth Development
He replaces Staci Miller, who is now
working with Paulding County Soil and
Water.
This is an exciting opportunity for
me, said Schweinsberg. I was actively involved in 4-H as I was growing up
through my freshman year in college.
I grew up and graduated from Antwerp (high school), he continued. Ive
been around the fair and 4-H ever since I
was a kid.
Schweinsberg said that he especially
finds it exciting joining the program at
a time when new barns are being constructed.
This is a wonderful addition for the
fairgrounds, pigs, poultry, sheep and
goats, he said. Growth is great. Its exciting to have new buildings and to see
what that can do.
Extension educator Sarah Noggle announced last week that Schweinsberg
would be joining the local extension office as the new educator in 4-H Youth
Development.
Our office is very excited to welcome

children: Raelyn, 8; Deklyn, 7; and
Dashlyn, 4. He said that his eldest will
be enrolling in 4-H and Deklyn will be
enrolling as a Cloverbud.
I accepted this job for my own growth
and for my family. There are more oppor-
tunities with this new job for my family,

said Schweinsberg. I am happy to work
with the youth of the county again. Its
an opportunity to give back to everything
Ive been doing since I was a child.
Early Tuesday, Schweinsberg noted
that hed only been in the office half an
hour, but his first priorities would be to
get settled in, see where the 4-H program
currently stands, and getting to know everyone.
Youth services are popular in the

county. In 2014, a record number of 352
Paulding County youth were enrolled in
over 110 different projects, chosen from
a list of 200, with a total of 568 projects.

Besides still and livestock projects,
4-Hers were involved with camp,
officer training, quality assurance
training and leadership activities and
school visits.
Area farmers attend Soybean College

By JIM LANGHAM
Feature Writer
PAULDING The Paulding
County Extension office hosted
an intensive day-long soybean
management workshop last
week. The purpose of the workshop, noted local OSU extension agent Sarah Noggle, was to
help area farmers become more
profitable producers.
Presenters for the Jan. 20
event included Laura Lindsey,
OSU soybean and small grain
specialist; Dr. Andy Michel,
Ohio State University field crop
Extension entomologist; Dr.
Steve Culman, soil fertility specialist; and Dr. Anne Dorrance,
field crop extension pathologist.
Topics covered during the
college included agronomic factors to maximize yield,
hands-on evaluation of soybean
yield components, soybean insects, key soybean diseases in
Ohio, pathogen biology, soybean genetic resistance, foliar
fungicides, seed treatments and
hands-on communication of
soybean pests and diseases.
I was really happy; this was a
phenomenal attendance, commented Noggle. This is college
on small scale numbers; its an
opportunity to offer hands-on
training.
People have the opportunity

to earn education credits in various ways, continued Noggle.
There are insect updates, disease updates and new research
methods.
Noggle said that each individual in attendance said they had
increased their knowledge after
they attended the workshop.
Noggle quoted one farmer as
saying that the information was
extremely valuable for a small
farmer.
These were excellent, firstclass presenters, quoted Noggle of another farmer. I like the
hands-on approach to soybean
college. Im very thankful we
had this program.
Noggle also noted that due to
a generous donation from the
Paulding County Agronomy
Committee, the agriculture side
of the Paulding County Extension office will stay open for
2015.
I am thankful for this donation, said Noggle, who noted
that due to the failure of a .15mill levy in the November election, the ag educator position
would have been eliminated as

Garbage collection finalized for Antwerp Village

By JOE SHOUSE
Progress Staff Writer
jshouse@progressnewspaper.org
ANTWERP In regular session
the Antwerp village council met on
Monday evening. Bids for village
wide garbage pick up was announced
as the new collection agreement was
revealed. The board also heard and
accepted the resignation of its village
fiscal officer, and Councilman Keith
West informed council on the military tank to be displayed at the park.
Beginning April 1, Real Waste will
be Antwerps lone solid waste collector. An ordinance passed authorizing
the village administrator to enter a
contract agreement with lowest bidder Real Waste to collect, transport
and dispose of residential solid waste
within the corporate limits.
Residents will be charged $8.85 per
month for pick up. Billing will be reflected on the village water and sewer
bill. Collection day will be every
Thursday with the first Thursday of
each month being a day when residents will be permitted to set out large
bulky items. Under separate billing, a
large curb cart can be obtained for
$24 per year.
Council President Jan Reeb spoke
in favor of the new service. I think
this is a fair and economical way to
not only serve the village but for residents to save money. This will cut my
bill in half, Reeb said.
Council received the resignation
of Loretta Baker as the village fiscal
officer. The council will begin immediately to search for her replacement
and Baker has agreed to stay on until
a replace is found and proper training
has been received.
Keith West brought council up to
date on the military tank that is to
be displayed in the park. The tank is
currently in the hands of the Defiance
VFW. West said the Antwerp VFW
would assume all costs of the tank as
well as ongoing maintenance.
In the meantime, council unanimously voted to draft a letter to accept the tank donation, providing the
VFW follows through on its plan. It
is estimated that costs will initially be
$12,000-$14,000. A formal contract
will be drawn up and agreed to at a
later date.
Antwerp resident Dan Gordon was
present to seek answers to a couple of
issues. His first concern was about the
village bus garage and how it appears
the village is not using the facility in
its best interest.
We have the bus garage to keep
equipment in like the skid loader,
trucks, lawn mowers and so on, and
yet often times I see these items exposed to all kinds of weather. Why
dont we park these things in the garage? I would like to see the garage
used as it was intended, Gordon
said.
It was shared that the skid loader
and other equipment is stored at the
water plant, but Mayor Tom Vanvlerah informed Gordon that the matter
will be reviewed.
Gordon also had a concern about
the village streets and the wear and
tear they receive from large farm
equipment.
Farm equipment is deteriorating
our streets and these large farm vehicles are destroying Canal Street. Its
causing far more problems than garbage trucks, Gordon said.
Council agreed and assured Gordon that his concern would be looked
into in greater depth and hopefully a
solution can be found.
Also attending the meeting was
Michelle Rider representing Werlor.
Although Werlors bid was not accepted, Rider thanked the village for
their consideration.
Real Waste co-owner Ryan Lassiter was present to answer questions
concerning his business and their procedure for garbage pickup. He also
thanked the council for the opportu-
nity to serve them and the village in

the future.
In other business:
An ordinance unanimously
passed allowing the village to enter
into a contract with Harrison and Carryall townships for providing emergency medical services in 2015.
An ordinance unanimously
passed adopting and enacting the
American Legal Publishings Ohio
basic code, 2015 edition as the villages code of ordinances.
A motion was passed to pay
$1,500 to the Paulding County Economic Development for its gold-level
membership.
A motion was passed in support
of the ball association with a donation
of $200.
A motion was unanimously
passed to extend the fire contract with
Harrison Township to June 30.
Jan Reeb was unanimously
elected the councils president.
Village administrator Sara Keeran
reported on the following:
The telemetry system approved by council to be replaced by
Schweller Electric has been installed.
The replacement is to help reduce the
cost of telemetry parts by using more
generic parts that Schweller has immediate access to and will result in
quicker repairs. The telemetry is set

up on a telephone call out system that
alerts village personnel should problems occur that prevent water from
being pumped to the tower which can
result in low water pressure and/or no
water to the village. The system also
can signal sewer lift station problems
such as pumps not pumping causing
sewer overflows.
The second phase of Safe Routes
to School will begin its process with
a letter being sent to residents in the
new targeted area informing them of
the project. Actual construction for
the new sidewalks is projected for
spring 2016.
A proposal to make Archer Drive
a one-way street will be considered.
Some residents would like to see the
change while others would like to see
it remain as is. The public service
committee will meet in the near future
to consider options.
The two lots the village received
as part of the demolition of two
homes located on Oswalt Street can
be sold after the village has had possession for five years. The five-year
period will conclude July 6; at that
time, the village will pursue selling
the lots. In the meantime, the village
will continue to maintain the lots until
a sale is made.

Chair Brian Hill (R-Zanesville)

and Vice Chair Tony Burkley
(R-Payne), will hold its first of
several hearings at 1 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 29, at Cooper Farms,
6793 U.S. Route 127, Van Wert.
As Speaker, one of my main
priorities is continuing to take
action on the issue of water
quality in our state, Speaker
Rosenberger said. This committee will build upon legislation passed in previous general
assemblies as well as work with
those in the agriculture community, state agencies and others,
to establish ways to best manage water quality problems. Our
goal is to not place blame on
anyone or any group but to find
a solution that benefits all Ohioans by protecting our most vital
natural resources and ensuring
clean water for our citizens.
The committee will hear from
experts and local farmers regarding the issue of water quality and how to address the negative effects of harmful algae
blooms in Lake Erie and other
bodies of water.
It is extremely important
that we hold the first committee hearing of the 131st General
Assembly in northwest Ohio,
Rep. Hill said. While the entire
state faces water quality issues,
this region has been especially
affected. The goal of this hearing

is to reinforce the legislatures
commitment to finding sustainable solutions for protecting the
water of all Ohioans.
As a major food supplier for
customers all around the United
States, Cooper Farms includes
two divisions: the Live Animal

Division and the Food Processing Division. The companys
operations are located across
northwest and west central
Ohio.
It has been made clear that
water quality will be a high
priority during this General Assembly and our work needs to

start right away, Rep. Burkley
said. I am pleased to welcome
my colleagues to the 82nd district and look forward to rolling
up our sleeves and getting to
work.

the fair grounds to a standstill, according to the contractor. He said ridge caps and cupolas cannot be completed until snow is off

their schedule permits. Since this photo was taken, the roof and most of the siding have been installed on the front building.

Phone scams
involving fake
IRS calls reported
The Progress has received two reports from residents about an apparent phone scam by callers claiming to be from the IRS.
The residents received recorded messages saying that the IRS had filed
a lawsuit against them and gave a phone number to call for additional
information.
The IRS has stated it will never ask for money over the phone, and will
never call or email citizens without sending a letter in the mail first.
If you receive one of the scam calls, you should:
Contact the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration at
1-800-366-4484 or www.tigta.com.
Contact the Ohio Attorney Generals Office at 1-800-282-0515 or
www.ohioattorneygeneral.gov.
File a report with the Federal Trade Commission at http://frccomplaintassistant.gov, please add IRS Telephone Scam to the comments
of your complaint.
The IRS offers consumers a few warning signs so you can protect yourself and avoid becoming a victim of these crimes:
Be wary of any unexpected phone or email communication allegedly from the IRS.
Dont fall for phone and phishing email scams that use the IRS as a
lure. Thieves often pose as the IRS using a bogus refund or warnings to
pay past-due taxes.
The IRS usually first contacts people by mail not by phone about
unpaid taxes.
The IRS wont ask for payment using a pre-paid debit card or wire
transfer. The IRS also wont ask for a credit card number over the phone.
The IRS doesnt initiate contact with taxpayers by email to request
personal or financial information. This includes any type of e-communication, such as text messages and social media channels.
The IRS doesnt ask for PINs, passwords or similar confidential information for credit card, bank or other accounts.
The IRS urges you to be vigilant against the many different types of tax
scams. Their common goal is to steal your money, and often to steal your
identity. Visit the genuine IRS website, IRS.gov, for more on what you
should do to avoid becoming a victim.

Accessibility to
courthouse
is questioned
Dear Editor,
Thanks goes to the Paulding County commissioners
for taking such good care of
our beautiful historic county
courthouse, but issues still
remain. This January a freshly painted handicap parking
space was noted at the north
entrance of the courthouse.
While conducting business,
and upon walking the corridors, came the realization NO
entrance to the courthouse
was handicap-accessible.
Whom that is handicapped
or aged, are able to gain entrance to this building?
The steps are steep, and
many of them. Was the issue
of handicap accessibility
addressed by those in charge
at any time, before or during
the most recent construction?
Did anyone consider this issue, when the entrances were
refurbished, that perhaps one

side of one entrance could
include a ramp?
What about an elevator to
access all floors? Why hasnt
one been installed, for inside
and/or outside access, into
this public building? A disabled/aged person would not
be confronted with having
to surmount the obstacle of
steep steps. Those persons
whom require a wheelchair
could possibly utilize a power
lift, or be pushed up with help
from an assistant, but that still
leaves the aged without access.
Are there other public
buildings that are inaccessible? Shouldnt the disabled
or aged have the entitlement
to enter all buildings, too? Is
Paulding County in compliance with the ADA act?
How much longer will
these issues be on the back
burner? It is hoped that a
resolution can be achieved
with regard to this issue, in
the near future. What are the
answers; can those in charge
enlighten the citizens of
Paulding County?

Dear Editor,
The commissioners office
understands and appreciates
the concerns expressed in the
most recent letter to the editor.

installation of an elevator and
an exterior ramp to the courthouse. The study concluded
In My Opinion
Expanding health
coverage for Ohioans
By Sherrod Brown
U.S. Senator
Since its creation in 1965, Medicaid a joint federal and
state program has provided low-cost health insurance to
Ohios most vulnerable, including the elderly, physically
disabled, and children. Beginning in 2014, the health law gave
each state the opportunity to expand its Medicaid program
to cover working families and individuals with incomes up
to 138 percent of the federal poverty level. Thanks to Ohios
decision to expand Medicaid, more than 2.8 million Ohioans
now have health insurance. But that health coverage is being
threatened. If the Ohio legislature doesnt agree to include
Medicaid expansion in its budget this June, more than 450,000
Ohioans could immediately lose their health care coverage
and Ohio could miss out on more than $2.5 billion each year
in federal funds.
Medicaid expansion comes at a low cost to Ohio. For states
that opted-in, beginning in 2014, the government began
paying 100 percent of the costs for newly-eligible individuals.
Ohio wont pay a dime for the expanded program until 2017
at which point the federal share will never fall to less than 90
percent of the costs. Because the federal share of the costs of
the expanded Medicaid program is so generous, it costs states
less to cover newly-eligible individuals than it does to cover
those individuals who sign up for Medicaid under traditional
standards.
Already, Ohio has saved $350 million because of Medicaid
expansion and were on track to save even more. We cant
afford to let this program disappear.
When people dont have health insurance, we all end up
paying for their medical costs. Without the preventive care
covered by health insurance, low-income Ohioans can face
expensive emergency room visits that they cant afford to pay.
The cost of this care is usually passed on to taxpayers in the
form of a hidden tax that costs Ohioans $2.3 billion every
year approximately $1,000 per insured family. Expanded
Medicaid coverage helps reduce this burden on insured
Ohioans while keeping healthcare affordable, saving lives,
and saving money.
We all benefit from expanding health coverage to those that
need it most and I urge the Ohio state legislature to include
Medicaid expansion in the budget.
We should be helping Ohioans gain health care not cutting
them off.
U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) is a guest columnist for
the Paulding County Progress.
The opinions stated are those of the writer, and do not
necessarily reflect that of the newspaper.
that the addition of an elevator would be best placed on

the west side exterior of the
building. This in turn would
cause other structural issues
along with degrading the appearance of the building.
The study also concluded
that a ramp to the ground
floor would have to extend
54 feet out either the north or
south sides of the building.
This ramp would only allow
access to the ground floor offices without the installation
of an elevator.
Because the installation of
an elevator would cause additional issues with the building and affect the historical
appearance, it was decided
to address the accessibility
in a different route. Without
breaking any federal and state
laws, anyone needing service
through one of the courts can
receive said service at the
County Annex Building. The
County Annex is completely
handicap accessible.
The other offices have
adopted a policy of curbside
service. If any individual is
unable to gain access to the
courthouse and wants to do
business there, they can call
any of the offices and a representative from that office will
meet them at the curb to serve
their needs. This practice has
been in place since the feasibility study was completed.
As far as the new handicap
parking places, we also recognize that handicaps can be in
different degrees of severity.
We would hope that the additional spaces help those with
less severe handicaps conduct
business within the courthouse on their own.

Preserving the past

for future generations

By Kim Sutton, president

John Paulding Historical Society
Every January I am filled with ambition to clear out, organize and be ready for the coming new year in orderly
fashion. As with every year, I get side-tracked by something I
find that I totally forgot about and that clean house attitude
quickly gets lost. Oh well, this is too good to keep to myself.
When I was the executive director of the Paulding Chamber
of Commerce, I was asked to write a column for the Paulding
Progress envisioning what I saw for the future of Paulding
County. The year was 1999. I came across that letter and I
would like to share part of what I said way back then
The year 2000 will bring about a self-awareness of our
county. An awakening if you will, of our heritage and
history a new appreciation of our past and the historic fabric our county was woven with. With that awareness of who
we are and how and why our county was formed, we will be
inspired to maintain and preserve the integrity of our historic
past.
Who wouldve ever thought that 15 years later I would be
starting my second term as president of the John Paulding
Historical Society?! Not me! Funny how things play out in
life! But theres more I go on
By the year 2020 Paulding County will be noted for its
wonderfully preserved villages, wildlife areas, museums,
scenic rivers, historic canal systems with their aqueducts and
viaducts....
Visitors will escape the hustle and bustle of the metropolitan cities surrounding the Paulding County area and take a
drive down scenic roadways to turn of the century villages
and unspoiled countryside. A canoe trip down our rivers and
creeks or a walk with nature through our parks will refresh the
visitor for a multitude of events, from hometown street carnivals to historic demonstrations and craft shows.
I concluded the article by saying, Visiting Paulding County
will be a truly unique adventure. A community rich in heritage
will provide an enjoyable and educational experience and we
will be known as the county that loves company!
Its fun to look back and read what you wrote so many
years ago and to see how part of my vision has come true.
The last two years as president of JPHS has been a truly
wonderful experience. The dedication and hard work of our
volunteers has made JPHS the successful organization it is
today. 2014 was another successful year for JPHS. Can we
possibly make 2015 better? Im excited with the possibility
and I know the strong will of our volunteers who so selflessly
give of themselves to carry out our mission statement: Preserving the Past for Future Generations.
Wont you come and help us and be a part of this great mission?

Tongue scrapers and salad spinners?

Are you a packrat, a hoarder
or a collector? It has always
been said that one mans junk
is another mans treasure and
that is probably true. Some
people collect winebottles,
salt and pepper shakers, coins,
guns, hats, baseball cards,
train items, matchbooks,
carsand business cards. I
evenknow people that collect
thelittle paper memorials you
get when attending a funeral,
because my mama collected
them.
Since I have downsized,
I dont have nearly as much
room for collectionsor doodads as I like to call them.
However, I have been haunting online websites and shopping in various stores for
a few snowmen to display
around my house. (A few at
this point is 10.)
It is veryhard to just stick
to the necessities that we need
and deprive ourselves of the
frivolous items that make
us happy. I remember when
people were collecting Beanie
Babies, Boyds Bears and state
quarters.Many collections and
itemsare valuable, while othersjust mean something to the
collector.
Personally, I am drawn to
the old 1950s memorabilia as
it brings back memories of
when I was growing up.I used
to have quite a collection of 45
rpm records, eight -track tapes
andcassettes.So many of these
things change as new technology constantly comes up with
new products.
Recently I was reading a
survey that included a list of
items that we should all have
available in our homes.I found
the reading very interesting,because I found out I only had few
of these so-called necessary
items.
The first item making the
list was a set of screwdrivers. I
have one screwdriver and I do

Refuse, fire department

top council agenda
By SAMANTHA
HABERN
Correspondent
PAULDING Paulding Village Council
addressed a question on refuse pickup, heard
a fire department report and were updated on
funding two improvement projects during its
Jan. 20 meeting.
Councilman Randy Daeger presented the
summary of the street committee meeting that
occurred on Jan. 12. The discussion was on
large item pick up on the first Wednesday and
Friday of the month.
Some residents are placing large items to be
picked up in the alleyways, instead of placing
them at the curb. However, due to alley weight
restrictions, Werlor Inc., which is contracted
with the village for garbage pick up, cannot
take the trucks used for large item collection
down those alleys.
The committee did decide to abide by their
contract with Werlor, and all large items must
be place on the curb for pick up.
Councilman Daeger also stated the regular
garbage pick up will still be done in the alleyways like it was done in the past.
The council also agreed to renew their one
year contract with Werlor.
Councilman Roger Sierer presented the
summary of the Paulding Community Fire
Association (PCFA) meeting held Jan. 14:
Fire Chief Todd Weidenhamer proposed
that the PCFA budget remain at $55,000, as
it has been for the past six years. This was approved, with the villages budget portion being
$18,828.83. Daeger thought that the PCFA
must have been doing something right for
the budget to not have to be changed for the
past six years.
Mayor Greg White wants to talk to Weidenhamer about attending a village council
meeting.
Cooper Hatchery made a $10,422.72 donation for purchase of equipment.
The PCFA will be purchasing a rescue
truck to house pieces of equipment needed at
all emergency situations.
PCFA insurance rating is down, lowering the cost for the associations insurance.
The rating is based on the condition of trucks,
safety record, training and response time.
There are currently 19 firefighters. In
2014, the department had 199 total runs, 19
mutual aid runs and two weather watches.

They made seven runs as of Jan. 10.
Administrator Harry Wiebe presented his
agenda, dealing with noxious weed removal
assessments for Lehman Griffiths (a.k.a.
Leman), Mike Wright, First American Way
and Randy Jones. Also, the village has applied to the Ohio Public Works Commission
(OPWC) for funding for the Gasser Road and
Walnut Street improvement projects, estimated at $262,000. They were awarded a grant
for $128,000 and a loan for $134,000.
Council heard the first reading of Ordinance
1493-15, authorizing the mayor to execute any
and all documents required by the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) for paving work to be performed by ODOT within the
village. This will go into effect July 1.
Council heard the third reading and unanimously approved the following:
Resolution 1298-14 authorizing the purchase of supplies for 2015. This resolution will
also allow the clerk-treasurer to draw warrants
on the village treasury for the payment of supplies purchased by the village administrator.
Resolution 1299-14 appointing Finance
Director Annette Hasch director of taxation
for the village.
Ordinance 1490-14 vacating an alley located between Lots 35 and 36 of Homeside
Allotment to the village. The alley is currently
not being used and after the vacating it will be
considered part of Lot 36.
The council approved getting a credit card
from the State Bank for the use of the village.
The next council meeting will be held at
6:30 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 2. The second
monthly meeting will be moved to Thursday,
Feb. 19 due to Presidents Day and other conflicting dates that follow.

Students create soil models

By Staci Miller
Education specialist
Paulding SWCD
On Jan. 15, Staci Miller,
education specialist with the
Paulding Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD).
gave a presentation to all the
third graders at Paulding Elementary. This presentation was
developed according to the
Ohio Science Standards. There
were 82 students who learned
about the composition of soil
and how it is created. The pre-
sentation also identified the different types of soils as well as

their textures and particle sizes.
After the PowerPoint presentation, students got to participate in a hands-on demonstration creating their own soil
model. Each student was given
a soil model kit where they actually generated the different soil
layers to create a visual display.
The end result of the soil model
was that the students were able
to create their own take-home
science clay or play dough.
The students really enjoyed

learning about how soil is created and how the different soil
types are identified. Their favorite part of the program was
being able to make their own
soils model they could play
with later.
Please contact the Paulding
SWCD if you are interested
in this presentation or would
like more information about
other classroom presentations
available. Email staci.miller@

While poppy blooms come in several colors and sizes, their seed heads are beauties in their own
right and contain hundreds of seeds. All poppy plants are poisonous, but the seeds (only) from
Papaver somniferum are edible and found in many of our foods.
Its a perfect planting time for poppies

If you thought you had
plenty of time to plan the
coming seasons garden, you
might want to think again,
especially if you were considering planting poppies from
seed. With the January thaw
now past and much of the garden laid bare from the snow
melt, its time to begin sprinkling the poppy seed.
Annual poppies (Papaver
spp.) are great self-seeders, as
anyone who has grown them
soon learns. Once youve
planted poppies in your garden, unless you deadhead all
the flowers as soon as theyve
finished blooming, youll find
them coming up in your garden year after year.
Seeds have different needs,
with some requiring darkness
to germinate and others needing light. The general rule for
planting seeds requiring darkness is to plant them at a depth
of 2-3 times the size of the
seed, then lightly cover. For
those needing light, its best
to just sprinkle them atop the
soil, making sure the top layer
has been worked up a bit, and
then pat them lightly, making
sure to not cover them.
Some seeds have a very
tough seed coat and need
scarifying, which means that
their seed coat needs to be
broken open somehow. Artificial means of doing this
might be to rub the seeds
with sandpaper or in the case
of larger ones, nicking them
with fingernail clippers, taking care to just cut the very
edges. Pre-soaking the seeds
before planting will also help
to loosen the seed coat.
In the
Garden
By
Kylee Baumle
Stratification is the best way
for other seeds, and Mother
Nature takes care of this very
well. Many of the self-seeders
benefit from the moist freezing
and thawing cycles that occur
naturally throughout winter
and this process is what wakes
the seed up and begins germination.
Poppies like cool conditions
for their start in life, but dont
exactly need either method
for germination. Still, the best
time to plant poppy seeds (and
I use that term plant loosely)
is mid-to- late winter. Decide
where you want them, then
broadcast (sprinkle or scatter)
them in that area.
Do it liberally, since poppies are ones that require light
to germinate and some are sure
to make their way into the dark
pockets of soil. If youve ever
gathered seeds from poppy pods,
you know they are plentiful and
thats why some literally wont
ever live to see the light of day.
Birds like the seeds too so some
may become a tasty snack for
them.
What if theres still snow
where you want your poppies to
grow? No worries! Unless its
a deep drift of snow, just scatter them atop the snow and as it
melts, the seeds will be deposited
on the top of the soil. Be sure to
choose an area of your garden
that gets excellent drainage and
at least six hours of full sun
as poppies require both. They
wont survive where the ground
stays soggy.
If youve never sown annual
poppy seeds before, theyre really easy to grow, if you get them
planted early enough. The window for planting is pretty large;
you can sow them anytime between now and the end of April.
Waiting until the weather warms
up reliably will likely result in a
scanty crop of plants.
Annual poppies are a wonderful filler plant that looks attractive coming up in between
and among other plants. They
have a bluish hue to their foliage and though the blooms
only last a day or so, the seed
heads are quirky and beautiful in their own right and last
much, much longer.
Seed displays will be showing up any day now in the
stores, so pick up a few packets of poppy seeds, bundle up,
and get busy gardening. When
June gets here and youve got
adorable poppy blooms, youll
be glad you did.

Resolving to continue improving Ohio

A new year is a time to make

resolutions to improve ourselves
in a variety of areas. Weight
loss, going back to school, and
quitting our bad habits are a few
common resolutions we hear
each year. As a member of the
Ohio House of Representatives,
my resolution has remained the
same since I held this office: to
better represent the 82nd House
District and the State of Ohio. I
am pleased by the accomplishments made by the Ohio legislature, but I believe that there
is more work to be done.
I am honored to serve on the
Agriculture and Rural Development Committee, Ways and
Means Committee, and Finance
and Appropriations Committee
as a member of the Agriculture
and Workforce Development
Subcommittee. These committee assignments will be beneficial in advancing the 82nd
district and will allow me the
privilege to effect policies that
are crucial for our rural communities and the state as a whole.
As the vice chairman of the
From The
State House
Rep. Tony Burkley

Agriculture and Rural Development Committee, I will assist
in leading our first hearing held
on Jan. 29, at Cooper Farms in
Van Wert at 1 p.m. The committee will hear from experts
and local farmers regarding the
issue of water quality and how
to address the effects of harmful
algae blooms in Lake Erie and
other bodies of water.
Water quality is a high priority for the state. Its effects are far
reaching and cross into issues
from healthcare to economic development to agriculture and
many more. The solution to the

algae bloom problem is not simple, but it is imperative that we
work to eradicate the problem
so future generations can use
our water resources and learn
how to prevent related water
quality problems in the future.
The Ohio General Assembly
has implemented many policies
to bring successes to Ohio and
steer us in the right direction.
I look forward to the work to
be had in my committees, and
believe we can make vast improvements to Ohios algae
bloom problem.
I will keep my resolution in
mind throughout 2015, to find
better ways to serve my constituents. Please let me know how
I can best be of service to you. I
can be reached at Rep82@ohiohouse.gov or 614-644-5091.
Rep. Burkley may be
reached by calling 614-6445091, e-mailing Rep82@ohiohouse.gov or writing to State
Representative Tony Burkley,
77 South High Street, Columbus, Ohio 43215.

Grocery stores partner

to fight local hunger
FINDLAY Fresh Encounter Inc. stores are doing their part to help alleviate food shortage concerns
throughout the states of Ohio and Indiana by recently collecting $21,722 through the Making Change
initiative.
We dont think families across Ohio and Indiana
should be worrying about the source of their next
meal, stated Fresh Encounter president/CEO Michael Needler Jr. The Making Change program allows us the freedom to focus donations to areas with
the most or immediate need.
The funds raised were part of a collaborative effort
between Great Scot, Community Markets, Sack &
Save and Chief stores, local customers and Making
Change organization that promotes human dignity,
wellness and self- sufficient communities.
Customer donations at the point of check-out are

the heart of the program, with a majority of the funds
supporting local non-profit organizations focusing
on food assistance. Donations were collected from
Nov. 1 to Jan. 4. This is the sixth year that Fresh Encounter stores have participated in the program and
the first for newly acquired Chief supermarkets. The
Paulding Chief is located at 1069 N. Williams St. in
the Paulding Place Shopping Plaza.
We are doing all we can to support our communities by hiring local, sourcing local products
and giving back to local economies, commented
Needler. There is no greater cause than to support
the communities where we live and work. We partner with charities that maintain that same philosophy
as well.

County 4-Her to visit Japan

ANTWERP Paulding
County 4-Her Katie Oberlin

will be traveling to Japan this
summer as part of the 4-H/Japanese Exchange Program.
Oberlin, age 11, is the
daughter of Gabe Oberlin and
Melanie Oberlin. Katie will
join youths from around the
country for the exchange, July
8-Aug. 6.
While in Japan, Katie will
be learning the local culture
by living with a Japanese host
family and participating in
community life. Katie will be
meeting her host family for
the first time when she arrives
in Japan. Some youth will be
staying with the families of
Japanese youth who have previously visited them in Ohio
on this reciprocal exchange.
Katie is among 30 4-Hers
from the United States and five
from Ohio who will be visiting
Japan. She will begin her tour
with orientation sessions on
the west coast of the US and in
Tokyo. Later during the visit,
Katie will attend a camp with
Japanese and American youth.
She decided to apply for the
Japan experience because I
want to understand a different
culture beyond the textbooks.
Katie is a sixth grader at
Antwerp Local School where
she is active in National Junior
Honor Society, sports, theater,
choir, and band. Katie is currently in her fifth year of 4-H
with the Doe-C-Doe 4-H Club.
She has served as the club environmental officer, and this
year she was elected club secretary.
4-H has given her the opportunity to complete projects on sewing, dairy science,
robotics, sheep, chickens and
horses. This year she decided
to try a gardening project.
Twice she has been selected to
represent Paulding County at
the Ohio State Fair.
The exchange program in
KATIE OBERLIN
Japan is coordinated by the
Labo Foundation, an organization dedicated to teaching
foreign languages and cultures
to Japanese youth. Japanese
young people learn about a
countrys culture and do songs
and stories in the language
they are studying.

In 1972, Labo established
the first exchange with 4-H
clubs in the United States. The
first year for Ohioans to make
the journey to Japan was in
1981. Since then, a group of
Ohio 4-Hers has visited Japan
nearly every summer, with a
total of 244 youth and adult
chaperones making the trip so
far.
Youth interested in traveling
overseas or families interested
in hosting someone from another country should contact
the regional county extension office at 419-782-4771
or email thalheimer.1@osu.
edu or visit www.ohio4h.org/
youth/international.
Ohio 4-H is currently seeking families to host young people from Japan from July 23Aug. 18 this summer. Youth
and families do not need to be
current 4-H members to apply.

In this day and age, school
boards have a tough job. Nobody
is beating down the doors to run
for the school board. So we appreciate our school boards. Every
school board is different in regards to their operations. I dont
think the public understands the
true role of a school board. The
role of a school board is very
simple, he said.
Their job is to hire the superintendent and treasurer while
setting policy and enforcing it.
The board at Western Buckeye
ESC functions within the team
concept. They work to ensure
that Western Buckeye ESC is a
productive and effective agency.
It takes teamwork and collaboration from all parties to make
an educational agency successful. We sincerely appreciate the

2015 and to advance
monies from fund to fund as

Authorize the treasurer to
pay all bills within the limits of
appropriations as bills and services are received.

Ministerial association to host screening of church documentary

PAULDING The documentary
film When God Left the Building
will be screened Sunday, March 15 at
the Paulding Church of the Nazarene,
210 Dooley Road in Paulding. Following the film, the Paulding Ministerial
Association will host a 20-minute live
discussion.
This film reveals the decline of the
American church and focuses on the
current spiritual climate. The film event
is sponsored by Paulding United Meth-
odist Church in cooperation with the

Paulding Ministerial Association.
This film was created by Thom and
Joani Schultz of Group Publishing.
Thom Schultz said, The American
church as we know it is dying. What
was once the heart and soul of the community is going away. We wondered
why. And we wondered whats next.
According to Schultz, the majority
of churches across the country are in a
state of decline. He said weekly church
attendance has dropped to 20 percent

of the population. This trend has resulted in the closing of 4,000 churches per
year, he said.
The filmmakers spent three years
documenting a church that saw its attendance plunge from 900 to 40.
It was a heart-wrenching mash-up
of societal upheaval, spiritual confusion and human conflict, Schultz
said.
The film also prominently features
the unconventional work of churches

and organizations that are actively
doing things differently and outside
of the traditional church building.
A preview of the film is available at
WhenGodLefttheBuilding.com.
Tickets to the 6:30 p.m. film screening on Sunday, March 15 are limited
to the first 200 people and are available through Eventbrite.com. Tickets
are $2 per person (with a $1.10 processing fee) online or $3 at the door
(cash only). All proceeds from ticket

sales will go to the Paulding Ministerial Association to assist families in
need.
The film was produced by Group
Productions, a Colorado media company.
Questions about the documentary
may be directed to Rev. Roger Emerson, Paulding UMC, at 419-3993591 or RLEmerson28@hotmail.

Varsity Williamson, Copsey combine for 52
Games Archers win GMC battle at Tinora 65-59 in OT
of the
Week
By JOE SHOUSE
Sportswriter
DEFIANCE Facing a couple of tall aggressive teams in
Hicksville and Liberty Center in the last week or so the
Antwerp Archers found themselves struggling to compete
against height and defensive
pressure.
The Archers turned it around
when it needed to last Thursday when they faced a tall and
talented Green Meadows Conference foe Tinora. The Rams
who often times had a front
line of 6-foot-6, 6-foot-4 and
6-foot-3 on the court could
not match the team play of the
Archers, who boosted the 1-2
punch of Sam Williamson and
Trenton Copsey.
In a game that needed four
extra minutes to decide the
outcome, the blue-and-white
outscored the Rams 8-2 in
overtime to outlast the host
school 65-59.
Sam Williamson displayed
a shooting night that many
players only dream about. The
6-foot-1 junior finished the
night with his career best of
35 points including a perfect
12-of-12 from the foul line.
Williamson is the first Archer to score 35 or more points
since Rich Rickard scored
37 in the old gym on Jan. 31,

Sportswriter
HAVILAND Wayne Trace
outscored Antwerp 14-7 in
the first half and the Raiders
pulled away in the second
half for a 36-23 victory over
the Archers in the championship game of the Wayne Trace
seventh grade boys basketball
tournament on Saturday.
The Raiders led 9-6 after
one quarter and expanded it
to 14-7 at the intermission.
Wayne Trace led 21-13 at the
end of three periods.
Reid Miller bucketed 15
points for the red-white-andblue with Nate Gerber chipping in 10. Nate Showalter
(four), Gage Waltmire (three),
Max Laukhuf (two) and Drew
Forrer (two) completed the list
of scorers for Wayne Trace,
which now stands at 6-4 on
the season.
Jayvin Landers scored 10
points to top Antwerp while
Blake Schuette and Boston
Dunderman chipped in six
markers each.
1981.
While Williamson was
keeping the Rams defense
honest from the outside,
Copsey had control of the
paint. The 6-foot-4 senior
collected eight points in the
first quarter and finished with
17 on a solid performance on
both ends of the court.
This was a total team effort.
I cant say enough about Sam
and TC (Trenton Copsey).
Sam never did force anything
and he let everything come to
him. Tonight we saw the Trenton that we know we have. It
was great seeing him play the
way he did, said head coach
TJ Hammer.
Standing near center court
after the six -point win and the
team celebrating still being
heard from the locker room,
Coach Hammer was quick
to assess his team in recent
weeks.
Everything about this team
starts with me. I was pressing
too much and it was causing
our team not to play the way
they are capable of playing.
It was time for all of us to get
back to having fun. Tonight
we were relaxed and I couldnt
have asked for any more from
them, said Hammer.
The
blue-and-white
scorched the nets with 22
first-quarter points to hold an
eight-point margin. Twenty of

those points came from Williamson and Copsey. Williamson totaled 12 first-quarter
points including two buckets
from behind the arc while
Copsey did his damage in the
paint with four goals. Josh
Longardner bucketed the other Archer points.
The second period had the
Archers widen their lead to as
many as nine and then settled
for a 31-24 lead at the break.
Tinora answered coming
out of halftime with a quick
5-0 run to trail by two at 3129. Antwerp responded when
the Rams tied the score at 33
with 5:28 remaining thanks
to nine straight points by Williamson. The stanza ended
with the blue-and-white clinging to a 47-40 advantage.
Both teams left it all on the
court in the final period with
the Rams taking their first lead
(since the opening minute of
play) with 1:18 remaining
55-54. Antwerps final three
points in regulation came at
the foul line with Copsey hitting one and Williamson canning two.
Jacob Miller, who finished
with 22 points, connected on
a two-pointer to tie the score
at 57-57. In the closing seconds the Archers had on final
opportunity for the win but a
Williamson jumper was off

target forcing overtime.
In the extra session the blueand-white never trailed and
enjoyed a four-point lead with
1:02 remaining when Trey
Mills was perfect at the foul
line with two throws.
Mills may have only had
two points but he did everything we asked of him defensively. He kept their bigs from
getting inside and did a great
job for us, said Coach Hammer.
With just over 20 seconds
remaining and the Archers
hanging on with a 61-59 advantage, Copsey collected
an all important offensive rebound off a Mills free throw
miss and stuck it in the basket
to keep the Archers in control
63-59. Williamson iced it for
the Archers with 9.3 seconds,
hitting two free throws for the
six point win.

Big third quarter pushes WT past Shawnee

By KEVIN

Sportswriter
HAVILAND
Wayne
Trace outscored visiting Lima
Shawnee 28-11 in the third
quarter as the Raiders rallied
in the second half for a 75-71
victory Saturday night in nonleague action at the Palace.
Behind 32-29 entering the
second half, the Raiders were
in need of a big third quarter against the athletic Indian
squad.
The red-white-and-blue got
just that. Leading 32-29 at
halftime, the Indians added
two free throws by JaQuan
Tucker and a Jaden ONeal
basket to make it 36-29 and
from there it was all Raiders.
Eleven straight Wayne
Trace points from five different players turned the seven
point deficit into a 40-36 advantage and the Raiders never
trailed again.
After a pair of foul shots by
ONeal, Wayne Trace scored
nine consecutive points to
push the margin to 49-38. The
Raiders actually widened the
advantage to as much as 53-39
late in the quarter on a David
Sinn basket but the Indians
trimmed the deficit to 57-43 at
the end of three periods.
That was big for us, noted
Raider head coach Jim Linder.
Lima Shawnee was very athletic and we didnt do a good
job of defending them at times.
(Jaden) O Neal is a very, very
good basketball player and he
showed that tonight.

The Indians would make a
run in the fourth quarter, scoring the first seven points to
pull within 57-50 after a David Fox basket.
Following a Raider timeout,
Wayne Trace added two free
throws each by Ethan Linder
and Cole Shepherd to widen
the margin to 61-53.
Lima Shawnee then chipped
away at the lead before eventually pulling within 65-64 after an ONeal 3-point play.
An old fashioned 3-point
play by Ethan Linder pushed
the margin back to 68-64 but a
Jake Leppla 3-pointer got the
Indians back within one at 6867.
Ethan Linder hit a pair of
free throws each sandwiched
around a Tucker basket to expand the lead to 72-69 with 43
seconds remaining.
An Indian miss then led to
a David Sinn 3-point play on
the opposite end, moving the
Raider lead to 75-69. Griffin
Hites added a late basket but
Wayne Trace, which improves
to 12-1 on the season, would
hold on from there to post the
75-71 victory.
Again tonight, we were
able to get a lot of contributions from a lot of different
players, Linder added. That
has been a big key for us.
Ethan Linder led the way for
Wayne Trace with 21 points,
including hitting nine of 10
free throws in the fourth quarter. Corbin Linder added 15

points while dishing out three

assists and David Sinn chipped
in 13 points and six rebounds.
Cole Shepherd also hit double
figures with 11 points while
grabbing eight boards.
Ethan hit some key free
throws down the stretch for
us, continued Linder. Corbin
hit some shots and passed the
ball well and David has been
so big for us this year. He causes a lot of problems for teams
on the defensive end with his
athleticism and length. Cole is
kind of our unsung hero. He
works extremely hard every
night and just does the little
things for us. He is a big factor
for us. It is a team effort all the
way around.
ONeal led the Indians with
34 points and Tucker added 13
points for the Indians, who fall
to 5-9.
Wayne Trace outrebounded
the Indians on the night 31-24
but also committed more turnovers, 12-8. The Raiders were
24 of 46 from the field (52 percent) compared to Lima Shawnees 23 of 51 (45 percent). At
the charity stripe, the Raiders
were 24 of 28 (86 percent)
while the Indians connected
on 19 of 25 (76 percent).
The Raider reserves improved their season slate to
9-4 with a 39-31 victory over
the Indians.
Seth Saylor scored 10 points

and five assists. Eli Sinn

six points apiece. Sinn also
picked up three assists, four
steals and five rebounds and
Speice picked up five boards.
Wayne Trace enjoys a single
game this week but it is an important one as Ayersville (7-5
overall, 1-1 GMC) visits the

OHSAA wrestling duals

begin Wednesday at WT
HAVILAND The OHSAA state duals wrestling tournament first round will be held at Wayne Trace High School on
Wednesday, Jan. 28 with action beginning at 5 p.m. Wayne
Trace was selected as the host as the Raiders are seeded No. 1
in sub region 24A.
Several local teams are participating Wednesday including:
Allen East No. 4, Lima Central Catholic No. 5, Paulding No.
8, Van Wert No. 9, and the host Raiders No. 1. Van Wert will
square off against Paulding in the first contest of the evening.
Paulding will be featuring Aaron Mock and Adam Deatrick as
current state ranked wrestlers on their squad.
The second round will pit Allen East (No. 4) against Lima
Central Catholic. Both of these schools have several state
ranked wrestlers currently on their roster. Wayne Trace (No. 1)
will face the winner of the Paulding (No. 8) versus Van Wert
(No. 9) dual.
Wayne Trace currently has Max Rassman, George Clemens,
Ruger Goeltzenleuchter, Tyler Showalter, and Jacob Dingus
ranked in the state standings.
The final contest of the night will see the winner of Allen
East/LCC against the winner of Wayne Trace versus Paulding/
Van Wert advancer.
I am very excited that we can host and bring quality wrestling to Paulding County for wrestling fans and enthusiasts to
enjoy without having such a long drive, stated coach George
Clemens.
Most of the tournaments will be
determined about how your best wrestlers do and you get some
help from the remainder of the team, but in a duals situation, the
freshman with the least experience could be all the difference
in a team win. Not only is every match pivotal, but even how
you win or lose a match is important. You cant give up bonus
points by losing by pin, and you want to earn bonus points by
winning by as much as possible. It should be a great night and
atmosphere Wednesday, commented Clemens.
Wayne Trace will be hosting for the first time in its wrestling
history and will feature two full mats with plenty of seating
room and good visibility. There will be full concessions available during the tournament.
Ticket prices are set by OHSAA and will be charged at the
doors for all spectators.
Lady Archers playing better in loss

Antwerp falls to Lincolnview and Tinora

Sportswriter
responded with a 9-0 run before Becca Johanns drained a

long-distance 3-pointer and
the Archers trailing 31-15. Johanns ended the third quarter
perfect at the foul line on two
attempts.
The fourth period saw the
blue-and-white score the first
seven points on buckets from
Williamson (a 2-pointer and a
3-pointer) along with two free
throws from Audrie Longardner.
Still on the short end with
just under five minutes remaining, Williamson was dead
on from behind the arc for her
second triple of the night to
get the Archers to within six at
33-27. Peyton Short scored at
close range with 2:01 remaining and the Archers still trying to work out of a six-point
hole. Lincolnview senior Julia
Thatcher scored her teams final five points to give them a
hard-earned win.
Thatcher finished with 13
with teammate Hannah McCleery, another senior, leading
all scorers with 14.
We played hard and battled
all night. I thought our defense
was much better for the most
part, said Taylor.
For Antwerp, Williamson
finished with 10 points while
grabbing eight rebounds to
lead the Archers offense.
JUNIOR VARSITY: Antwerp didnt score their first
field goal until the 6:36 mark
of the fourth quarter. The Archers lost 32-21 with freshman Hope Smith scoring 11
points to lead all scorers.
MIDDLE POINT - Lincolnview and Antwerp girls took

to the basketball court last
Tuesday with the Lady Lancers prevailing 40-29. Lincolnview scored the first eight
points and then led by as many
as 17 late in the third quarter
before the Lady Archers managed to trim the deficit to just
six on a couple of occasions in
the closing minutes.
For the Archers, who fall to
3-10 on the season, rebounding and turnovers continue to
plague the blue-and-white.
The Lancers controlled the
boards, especially on their offensive end while the Archers
turned the ball over 19 times.
Its almost like a broken
record but again we had too
many turnovers and Lincolnview took advantage of our
mistakes. However, when we
were down we fought back
and got it down to six and had
the ball but we just couldnt
convert, said Antwerp head
coach Kevin Taylor.
The first quarter closed with
the home team Lancers on top
10-4. The second eight minutes of play had the Archers
scoring just four points again
while the Lancers totaled 19
for a double-digit margin of
11 at the break.

ANTWERP A slow start

and too many fouls kept the
Antwerp Lady Archers from
picking up a Green Meadows
Conference win last Friday. In
a home contest with Tinora,
the Lady Rams coasted to a
42-31 win.
Tinora scored seven points
after the Archers got on the
board first with an Avery
Braaten free throw. The Rams
went on to widen their margin
to 18-9 after the initial quarter
of play.
Following the opening period both teams played a more
even game with the Rams outscoring the blue-and-white by
just two points. The biggest
culprit for the Archers was in
the foul depart. The Archers
were whistled for 24 while
the Rams, only 11. Although
the Archers outscored their
opponent from the field (14
baskets to 11 baskets), it was
to the foul line making the difference. Tinora was 19-of-29
while the Archers were just
1-of-5.
We cut down our turnovers
tonight but the fouls were a
little out of sorts. It seemed
like there were several tie ups
that should have been jump
ball calls that ended up being
a foul, said Taylor.
Trailing 27-16 at the break

the Lady Archers got down by
as many as 13 but with 2:17
remaining an Annie Miesle
bucket brought the blue-andwhite to within nine at 31-22.
The Archers continued to
battle in the fourth period but
could never get the Ram lead
under eight. A Rachel Williamson 3-pointer followed by
a 2-pointer from the talented
freshman got the Archers a
little closer at 35-27. Peyton
Short scored her lone basket
with 2:40 remaining to keep
the Archers within eight 3729.
Williamson led the 3-11
Archer offense with 14 points
and Braaten adding five. For
the Rams, Ashley Mack led
all scorers with 17 including
7-of-9 from the foul line.
I thought we played hard
and put forth a good effort but
we were out rebounded 25-16
and they (Tinora) are a far better team than their 7-7 record
indicates, said Taylor.
JUNIOR VARSITY: Coach

Defensive effort sparks

WT in win over Holgate
By KEVIN
WANNEMACHER
Sportswriter
HOLGATE A stellar defensive effort and a balanced
offense proved to be a dangerous combination for the Wayne
Trace boys basketball team
Thursday night as the Raiders
rolled to a 54-28 win at Holgate
in Green Meadows Conference
action.
The victory, combined with
Edgertons win over Hicksville,
put Wayne Trace in sole possession of first place in the league
as the only unbeaten school.
Wayne Trace is now 11-1 overall and 3-0 in the conference.
Leading 8-4 early in the first
quarter, the Raiders scored the
final six points of the stanza on
baskets by Ethan Linder, Corbin
Linder and Jake Arend to post a
14-4 advantage after eight minutes of action.
Wayne Trace then put the
game away in the second stanza.
After a 3-pointer by Holgates Owen Clady got the Tigers within 16-7, the Raiders
closed the first half with a 13-0
run to grab a commanding 29-7
advantage.
Ethan Linder ignited the
run with a 3-point play before
buckets by Cole Shepherd and
Darius Hale made it 23-7. Two
Corbin Linder foul shots and
baskets by Shepherd and Ethan
Linder wrapped up the second
quarter with the Raiders on top
29-7.
While the offense was productive, Wayne Traces de-
fensive effort was even more

impressive. The Raiders limited Holgate to 2 of 21 from the
field in the first two quarters (9
percent), including ten straight
misses to finish the first half.
Defensively, we played
very well tonight, noted Raider head coach Jim Linder. We
were very aggressive on the
defensive end and we were able
to keep them from getting into
their offense. Our interior defense was very solid and that
was a concern coming in. Our
length was a big factor tonight.
Wayne Trace posted a 40-17
advantage after three quarters,
using seven straight points in
the period to widen the margin.
In the final period, Alec Vest,
Seth Saylor and Justin Speice
all found their way into the
scoring column as the Raiders
sealed the 54-28 victory.
These kids are very good
about getting the basketball to
the open person, continued
Jim Linder. I thought we made
the extra pass tonight and did a
good job of getting everybody
involved.
Ethan Linder led the way for
Wayne Trace with 11 points and
David Sinn posted nine points
and nine rebounds. Jake Arend,
Darius Hale and Cole Shepherd
all chipped in six points. Shepherd and Alec Vest both picked
up four rebounds while Luke
Miller dished out four assists
and recorded three steals.
Miller (four), Corbin Linder
(four), Justin Speice (four),
Alec Vest (two) and Seth Saylor (two) completed the Raider
scoring.
JUNIOR VARSITY: Wayne
Traces junior varsity improved
its record to 8-4 overall on the
season and 2-1 in the Green
Meadows Conference after
holding on for a 29-28 victory.
Eli Sinn topped the Raiders
with eight points and Brady Stabler chipped in seven points and
four steals. Justin Speice led
Wayne Trace with six rebounds
and Seth Saylor dished out three
assists and recorded three steals.
Wayne Trace led 27-20 before three straight Raider turnovers helped Holgate rally for a
28-27 advantage on a steal and
bucket by Dylan Pahl.
However, Stabler answered
on the Raiders final possession

Bulldogs, Cougars outplay

Lady Panthers on the court
By JIM LANGHAM
Sportswriter
In spite of her teams 79-45
loss to conference power Columbus Grove on Thursday
night, Paulding girls head
coach Lindsey Schultz felt
that her squad had played one
of their most intense games of
the season.
The Panthers fought hard
in the first quarter to trail by
three points, 12-9, going into
the second stanza.
The game began with
Groves Mackenzie Wurth and
Pauldings Faith Vogel trading 3-point shots. Late in the
stanza, the Panthers led, 9-7,
but Groves Carlee McCluer

Volleyball
begins at MAC
ANTWERP The 2015

MAC Gym volleyball league
will begin this Sunday. Twelve
girls teams and 38 individuals
from around the area, will participate in four leagues weekly
for five weeks. There will be a
season ending single elimination tournament on week six.
This winter there is a new
league being added to the
volleyball program. A fourth
grade and under league will
begin with four teams participating from Edgerton, Woodburn Lutheran School, Woodlan and Antwerp.
The sixth grade and under
league will be made up of
Leo, Defiance, two Woodburn Lutheran School teams
and four Woodlan teams. This
marks the first time there will
be more Indiana teams participating than Ohio teams.
The junior high and high
school leagues are teams built
from individual sign ups. No
more than two girls from any
school compete on a team. All
teams play two games weekly. Games begin on Sunday

quarter advantage.
In the second quarter, however, the Bulldog offense took
over, outscoring the Panthers
32-14, to vault into a 44-23
lead at the halfway mark.
Columbus Grove is a talented team; we knew that
coming ino the game, commented Schultz. They put a
lot of pressure on our guards.
We played good in spurts
and other times our turnovers
hurt us. We had six turnovers
in a row and they converted
those into three layups, observed Schultz.
In spite of the deficit, Schultz saw several bright spots in
her teams effort. One was the
play of sophomore Faith Vogel who scored 10 points for
the contest.
Faith had a good game,
said Schultz. It was good for
her to play against a defense
like that. She really battled
hard.
I thought that Suzanne
(Reinhart) handled their press
well, continued Schultz.
She kept us under control
pretty well.
Jade Clement led the Grove
attack with 20 points while
Paige Bellman and Sydney
McClure added 19 and 10
points respectively.
We did a lot more driving
and attacking, things we want
to do in this game, added
Schultz. Even with the score,
I feel good about our effort
in this game. If the girls keep
playing better like this, were
going to win some ballgames.
The local squad will travel
to rival Crestview on Thursday night.
Columbus Grove won the
junior varsity game, 44-14.

their best defensive performances of the year in a 4938 victory over Ayersville at
home.
The local squad performed
especially well defensively
in the second quarter, holding Ayersville scoreless, and
in the final stanza when they
held the visiting Pilots to just
five points.
These were two quarters of
the best defense weve played
all year, said Paulding head
coach Shawn Brewer. We
did a tremendous job of everybody finding everybody.
We need to do this to win ballgames.
Paulding junior Corbin Edwards played the game of his
life with 28 points to lead all
scorers. Edwards energy got
things going for the Panthers
in the first quarter, scoring 10
of the teams 12 points. Two
free throws by Alex Arellano
were the only other Panther
points in that stanza which
ended with Ayersville on top,

LIBERTY CENTER In a
rare Monday night game the
Antwerp Archers traveled to
Liberty Center in a non league
match up with Northwest
Ohio Athletic League member
Liberty Center. The game was
postponed a week due to the
Ohio State Buckeyes quest
for a football national championship game played the
previous Monday. The Tigers
used their aggressive defense,
3-point shooting and height to
secure a 55-44 win over the
blue-and white.
Antwerp held a 13-10 advantage after the first quarter,
but the middle two quarters
belonged to the orange-andblack, outscoring Antwerp 2915. Both teams played even
the final eight minutes of play
with each scoring 16 points.
Liberty Center had three
players in double digits and
one with nine to keep the Archers from securing any kind
of momentum in the second
half. After holding a threepoint margin after one quarter
the Archers found themselves
down 24-21 at intermission.
Leading the Tiger attack
was junior Brooks Hinton
with 15 (two 3-pointers) followed by 14 points from their
6-foot-5 senior center Jared
Dishop. Another senior, sharp
shooting Jarren Altman finished with 11 including three
field goals from behind the
arc. Logan Meyer, another
starter for Coach Greg Badenhop collected nine points.

Tonight we ran into another team that was very physical
and quick. They pressured us
from the opening tip off and
we just didnt execute, said
Antwerp head coach TJ Hammer.
Trailing by just three at
halftime the Archers were outscored 12-2 in the first four
minutes of the third quarter
and trailed 36-23. Sam Williamson drilled a triple as the
quarter ended to pull the blueand-white to within 11 at 3928.
Liberty Center opened the
final stanza with an 8-0 run and
the Archers were struggling to
find an open shot down 47-28.
The Archers managed to close
the gap to 10 late in the game
but the Tigers were too strong
and held on for the non league
win.
Its now becoming more of
a mental thing for us. When
we go up against a team that
is more physical than us and
they pound on us a little then
we back off and be just dont
execute. Mentally we have
got to get better. I thought
we played hard and we had
good effort but Liberty Center
screened better and their passes were crisper than ours and
we kind of folded when things
got a little more physical,
said Coach Hammer.
For the Archers, Williamson
bucketed a quiet 18 points,
having to work hard for every
basket. Williamson was the

WAYNE TRACE LOCAL SCHOOLS - FEBRUARY 2015 NEWSLETTER

SUPERINTENDENTS MESSAGE
By STEPHEN ARNOLD
The administration, faculty, and staff of Wayne
Trace Local Schools hope that youre finding 2015
to be everything that you had hoped it would be.
Congratulations to those of you who have kept
your resolutions. Hopefully, they are making an
improved difference in the quality of your life.
Speaking of quality, high academic expectations continue to be at the forefront as we
progress through the 2014-2015 school year.
Educating our youth is a collective effort between
the school and home, and your continued cooperation is needed as we place high demands on
our students to perform at a high level in the
classroom. At times, this means supporting what
may be perceived as too much homework. We
are confident that our teachers do not assign
homework for the purpose of giving students
work to do. The general goal of homework is to
reinforce the lessons learned in the classroom.
Again, school officials appreciate your support as
we continue to strive for an improved overall
rating on the Ohio Department of Education
state report card.
Speaking of ratings and the state report card, I
would once again like to remind our parents/
guardians and community members that the
testing system, as we currently know it, has
change this school year. Students in grades 3-8
will be taking tests through the new PARCC
system, an entirely on-line testing process. The
bar has been significantly raised this year. Earning a proficient score will no longer be a
passing score. Students must earn what is now
considered to be an accelerated score in order
to be a passing score. This will likely have a
dramatic impact on school building and school
district ratings. As Ive stated many times, the
faculty and staff of Wayne Trace Local Schools is
dedicated to teaching the state content standards to its students each day, which in turn
should lessen the potentially negative effect of
much higher expectations from the state level.
Continuing the academic theme I would like
to take this opportunity to thank our administration, faculty, staff, and students for the manner
in which they have embraced the influx of technology in our school district this year. The 1:1
initiative at the JH/HS building is going quite well,
as very few problems have arisen during the first
five-plus months of school, and learning has
taken on a whole new look. And at both elementary buildings, our students are being introduced
to keyboarding at a younger age than ever
before, while our teachers are incorporating
more technology-based lessons due to the availability of more computers. Additionally, our
Wayne Trace Digital Academy is thriving again
this school year as approximately thirty students
are utilizing some faction of the alternativeeducation possibilities that on-line learning
provides, while approximately twenty-one
college-bound students report to the digital
academy for on-line college classes taken
through Northwest State CC. These twenty-one
students are taking a total of twenty-eight
college-level classes. Parents/guardians with
questions about any of the on-line learning
options offered at Wayne Trace JH/HS should
contact Mr. Leeth or Mr. Alt for more information.
Turning to the district calendar: Due to the
combination of fog, snow, ice, and extremely
cold temperatures, we are now in the position of
making up at least one day of school. So please
mark your calendars for Monday, February 16 as
a regular day of school. Should we need to make
up any more days, we will do our best to
communicate this information to you in a timely
fashion. Following February 16, the next possible
make-up day is scheduled for May 29. Any additional calamity days will be made up on June 2,
June 3, etc. If you have any questions about the
district calendar for this school year, feel free to
contact the principals office at your child(ren)s
building(s).
We continue to seek nominations for the
Wayne Trace Staff Hall of Fame Class of 2015.
Please consider nominating a worthy former staff
member who may have had an extraordinary
impact on your life. Last months newsletter
contained instructions for how to make a nomination, but if you have any questions about this
process, feel free to contact the central office.
The Ohio State Board of Education has
designated January as School Board Member
Appreciation Month. The men and women who
serve on local boards of education do so out of
sincere interest in their local schools. With that
said, we would like to thank our local board
members for their service and dedication to
Wayne Trace Local Schools. Remember that
community members are welcome to attend
school board meetings. Upcoming meetings will
be held on February 9 and March 9, starting at
7:30 in the high school lecture room.
As always, if you have questions or concerns
about your childs educational experience at
Wayne Trace, feel free to contact your building
principal or superintendent. Go Raiders!
Special Education/Student Services News

The next Early Childhood Screening (birth to
age 5) will be February 6 from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00
p.m. at the Antwerp Methodist Church. If school
is cancelled, the screening will be held on February 13. Appointments are preferred, but walk-ins
will be accepted.
To register, please call
1-877-473-8166 (toll free). After hours, a message can be left at extension 41.
SibShop, a special day for siblings with disabilities will be coming to our area in the spring.
SibShop is for children ages 8 to 13 led by Linell
Weinberg and Lou Curcio of the Autism Society of
Northwest Ohio. This will be an opportunity for
children to have fun, problem solve, talk honestly
about what it's like to have a sister or brother
with a disability, and learn more about developmental disabilities. There are many types of
engaging activities throughout the day, and lunch
will be included. More information will be available at a later date.
Aaron Weisbrod, State Support Team Region 1,
will be coming to WT and presenting Transition
Training for area high school intervention specialists. The focus of the training is on preparing our
students for life beyond graduation.
In preparation for upcoming State assessments,
our intervention specialists and teams are checking each child's IEP for accommodations that are
appropriate, ensuring the fullest access to the
tests, and aligning with the new assessments.
If you have any questions about accommodations for the New State Tests or any other special
education matter, you may contact me at
419-587-3414 or at delongl@wt.k12.oh.us.
MESSAGES FROM THE PRINCIPALS

WT PAYNE ELEMENTARY
Jody L. Dunham, Principal
The arrival of February causes our students and
staff to focus on their final preparation for the
upcoming PARCC and AIR assessments. These
assessments are very different from state assessments in the past. There will be more parts to
each content area which means more testing
days, more content areas assessed and they will
be administered on-line. Students will be using a
laptop computer to take these assessments. Be
assured that our teachers and staff are
committed to providing the students with the
knowledge and resources needed to be
prepared. Beginning March 3, students will begin
the Performance Based Assessments component
of these on-line tests. Please call or email us if
you have any questions. Families are able to
learn more about Partnership for Assessment of
Readiness for College and Careers at
www.parcconline.org or about AIR on the Ohio
Department of Education website found at
www.education.ohio.gov.
We wish to congratulate fifth grade student
Cameron Stoller for correctly spelling the word
tulip to become the building Spelling Bee
champion and representative at the Paulding
County Spelling Bee on February 2. We also wish
to congratulate runner-up Waylon Smallwood for
his accomplishment.
It is time to begin to plan Kindergarten registration for the 2015-2016 school year. Options
include a possible Young 5's (Transitional Kindergarten) and a regular Traditional Kindergarten.
Both programs are all day, every day programs
that provide students with a Kindergarten curriculum based on the Ohio Department of
Education content standards. Students enrolled
in Traditional Kindergarten will need to be 5
years of age prior to August 1, 2015. Students
enrolled in the Young 5's (Transitional Kindergarten) must be 5 years of age on or before September 30, 2015. It is important to note that the
Young 5's (Transitional Kindergarten) classroom
will be contingent upon a minimum enrollment
as determined by Wayne Trace administration.
All students interested in enrolling in either
program are required to participate in the Kindergarten screening process. Screenings will take
place at WTPE on April 20 and 21. To register
your child for Kindergarten, parents need to call
Payne Elementary at 419-263-2512 or stop by the
school office to pick up a Kindergarten registration packet.
It is vital for us to have current phone numbers
and addresses for our students. It is important
that we are able to contact parents when necessary. The Honeywell Instant Alert System makes
it important that we have valid working numbers
to let you know about school delays, cancellations and early dismissals. If you change your
contact information or would like to add other
family members to this service, please contact
the school at 419-263-2512.
A very special Thank You to everyone
who participates in the Box Tops for Education
program. We appreciate the time that you take
to clip the coupons and send them to WTPE. In
January, we received a check for over $961 for
Box Tops collected. The money will be used for
educational assemblies. Way to go community!
As always, thank you for your continued
support of WTPE!
WT GROVER HILL ELEMENTARY

Kevin Wilson, PrincipaL
I would like to begin by congratulating Faith
Meraz, this years Spelling Bee winner and Isaiah
Rittenhouse, this years runner-up. Faith, the
daughter of Saul and Lucinda Meraz, will represent WTGH at the Paulding County Spelling Bee
on February 2. If for some reason Faith is unable
to participate, Isaiah Rittenhouse, the son of
Todd and Aimee Rittenhouse will take Faiths
place as the WTGH representative. Congratulations to Faith and Isaiah, as well as all the participated in this years Spelling Bee.
There is one important calendar change to be
noted for the month of February. On Monday,
February 16, Presidents Day school will be in
session. This day was originally scheduled as a
holiday for the students and staff, but with the
typical northwest Ohio weather we have missed
too many student hours and must use this day as
a make-up day. Please note this date on your
school calendars.
Also, this month is a time to begin preparation
for next school year. One major event we are
preparing for is Kindergarten Screening. Even
though Kindergarten Screening is not until April
we need to begin the process in February. So, at
this time we are making preparations for this
years screening. If you have a child who will be
five before September 30, 2015 and plan for
them to attend Kindergarten or Young 5s class
next year, you need to contact the Grover Hill
Elementary office for registration information.
You may contact the Grover Hill Elementary
office at 419-399-4100 to begin this registration
process.
