Noffsinger murder trial set for April
By DENISE GEBERS
Progress Staff Writer
PAULDING A week has been set aside on the
Paulding County Common Pleas Court calendar for
the trial of a man accused of killing an Oakwood woman in 1981.
Steven Noffsinger, 58, of Defiance, who is charged with aggravated murder, an unclassified
felony, will be in Court beginning
Monday, April 27 at 9 a.m.
Judge Tiffany Beckman said
the trial date and that of the final
pretrial conference on Tuesday,
March 31 were all discussed off
Noffsinger
record at a pretrial conference on
Dual tourney
today at WT
Thanks to you ...
Friday, Jan. 30.

The March court date will also include a motion
hearing, so all motions and requests to the Court in this
matter will have to be filed before that time.
This will be substantial; I have half a day set on the
calendar, said Judge Beckman.
Noffsinger is accused of causing the death of Alma
Delgado Noffsinger, 29, who was found dead in her
Oakwood home in December 1981. He was indicted
by a special Paulding County grand jury in July.
The accused, who is an ex-husband of the victim,
was arrested Aug. 1 in Defiance with no resistance.
His original indictment included a specification that
accused him of prior calculation and design which
would have allowed the death penalty in a guilty verdict. His indictment was amended in September, how-
ever, deleting that specification.

Should Noffsinger be convicted of the charge as it
now stands, he could be sentenced to life in prison and
would be eligible for parole after 20 years.
All court dates in this case are scheduled in the
Paulding County Courts courtroom to provide handicap accessibility for jurors, witnesses and the defendant, who is under the care of a chiropractor for back
issues.
The cold case was featured on the TNT series
Cold Justice on Aug. 8 and his arrest was the result
of the programs assistance.
A production crew was in the area from June 1322, more than 30 people in all. During that time, they
assisted the Paulding County Sheriffs Office interviewing over 30 people connected with the cold case.

By MELINDA KRICK

ANTWERP One juvenile

on Tuesday afternoon, Jan. 27.
Police Chief George Clemens said a 15-year-old Antwerp male was arrested on an

around 8:30 p.m. that evening.
The teen has been charged with

To date, only one individual

with the incident.
Officers were assisted in last

Clemens had high praise for
the response to the situation.
I was really elated with the
response, he said. The school
did a great job getting the kids
outside and transporting them
to a safe place.
I was happy with the S.O.
they showed up in multiple numbers and helped make
sure the students were out
and cleared the grounds. We
worked well together for the
first time weve had to do this,
Clemens added. We were all
very prepared.
Not long ago, the sheriffs
office implemented ALICE
training, which is a response
program for dealing with active shooters. Clemens said
the training played a big part
in knowing what to do and
what everyones jobs are in an
emergency situation.
It was a total team effort and
I could not be more pleased,
Ross agreed.
I cant praise our students
and staff enough, she added.
Everyone knew their roles.
The school has an evacuation
plan and also one to evacuate
to an offsite location to release
students.
I also cant say enough
about our first responders the
Antwerp Police, the Paulding
County Sheriffs Office and
the Antwerp Fire Department.
They did an excellent job,
Ross said.
The experience prompted
the superintendent to offer one
reminder to parents. The instant alert system is our main
communication link to parents.
Its important to keep account
information up to date, Ross
said. The school sent out a total
of five messages during Tuesdays evacuation, but some
families did not receive notifications.
Ross urges parents to check
their account settings, available
on the schools website by linking the For Parents tab at top
right and scrolling to Instant
Alert System.
SNOW DAY Kiara, Makenna and Peyton Adams of Paulding enjoyed playing in the snow on

Winter clamps down

Major storm dumps 10-12 inches of snow
By JIM LANGHAM
Feature Writer
All of the prediction hype leading up to a snowstorm this past weekend proved to be true as a major winter storm moved through the county early
Sunday morning and for most of the afternoon
and evening, causing Paulding County Sheriff
Jason Landers to issue a Level 2warning due to
deteriorating roads.
Landers said that roads were becoming worse
by the hour as winds increased and heavy snow
continued to fall late Sunday afternoon and evening. The warning was issued to inform county
residents of the seriousness of the situation and
also to allow area road crews the opportunity to
clear and maintain roads during the height of the
storm.
Of course, our number one concern is always
the health and safety of county residents, said
Landers. We want to make sure that if there is
a medical emergency, there is a way to get that
person or persons to emergency care as soon as
possible.
During those times, and especially when there
is an emergency, it helps us immensely if roads
are as free of traffic as possible, added Landers.
Paulding County Emergency Management director Ed Bohn said that it appears that between
10 and 12 inches of snow fell across most of the
county, with higher drifts in isolated areas. He not-

ed that the estimated amount corresponds with estimates in neighboring Allen County, Ind., where
Fort Wayne set a record for a one-day snowfall on
Feb. 1.
To our knowledge, other than a few people
sliding off the road, there were no power outages
or tragic situations that came out of this storm,
said Bohn.
I have nothing but praise for our state, county, township and city and village road crews for
the professionalism with which they dealt with
this storm, observed Bohn. It was reassuring
to me to see how well our snow removal entities
are schooled for this type of situation. They just
couldnt have done a better job.
Late on Friday, National Weather Service officials began to suspect that a super-storm, which
was then forming in Texas, was going to pack an
unusual amount of moisture when it headed towards this area on Sunday. By Saturday, Paulding County was in an area targeted by NWS officials for 10-15 inches of snow, or, what weather
officials refer to as the epicenter (center) of the
storm.
Weather specialist Rick McCoy said that in the
case of Paulding County, the prediction proved
to be right on. However, he noted, in areas to the
south such as Mercer and Darke counties, an area

Statehouse committee talks water, ag issues at Cooper Farms

By ED GEBERT
DHI Media Editor
VAN WERT A group of
Ohio state representatives gathered Thursday in Van Wert to
hold hearings on the issue of
water quality in the state.
State Rep. Tony Burkley
(R-Payne) acted as hometown
representative, sharing some
facts about the area with his colleagues in the Ohio House Agriculture and Rural Development
Committee meeting held at
Cooper Farms just north of Van

Wert. The committee is chaired
by Rep. Brian Hill (R-Zanesville), with Burkley serving as
vice chair, and Rep. John Patterson (D-Jefferson) serving as the
ranking minority member.
Approximately 18 committee
members and interested guests
stretched around a line of tables
to hear from farmers and representatives of agriculture organizations.
It was first meeting of the
year for the newly re-formed

committee. The former Agriculture and Natural Resources
Committee was restructured so
that issues concerning natural
resources now go to a newly former Energy and Natural
Resources Committee. Those
changes meant that the discussion in Van Wert dealt with water quality from an agricultural
perspective.
Chairman Hill termed the
meeting, an interested parties
meeting because of the varied

number of speakers and listeners represented.
The subject of water quality
has been an issue around Ohio
for many years, and agriculture
stepped up to the plate offering
best practices in the past and
ideas about what portion may be
their responsibility. They want
to be responsible stewards, Hill
stated. We did pass a bill last
year (H.B. 490). It went to the
Senate but was never finalized.

Ed Gebert/DHI Media
Committee Vice Chair Tony Burkley (left) and Chairman Brian

Hill get ready to begin hearings held by the Ohio House Agriculture
and Rural Development Committee in special session at Cooper
Farms in Van Wert on Thursday. The committee heard from local
farmers and farm organizations on the subject of water quality.
Now with a new session of
the Legislature beginning, efforts to try again on the subject
of water quality in the Statehouse. And although Van Wert
County and other areas havent
suffered from water quality like
those on Grand Lake St. Marys,
and last summer on the western
end of Lake Erie, many have
looked toward agriculture to reduce fertilizer and manure runoff from friends to try to stop the
growth of blue-green algae.
We came up with the idea
that we should come to this area
to do this. The impact has been
noticed most greatly here, and
any legislation that is passed
will probably affect this area of
the state the first and the hardest, Hill said to introduce the
testimony.
During the meeting, committee member Rep. Jim Buchy
paid close attention as he is the
person who has been given the
task of writing the legislation to
come out of this committee.
Those testifying in the nearly
three hours of testimony seemed
to agree that agriculture likely
bears some, but not all, of the
blame for the algae situation
and is willing to do what it can
to improve the water quality.

The committee is looking
to get all sides to work together, and, from comments during
the hearings, that appears to be
what is happening.
Members of the committee
present at the meeting were
Chairman Hill, Vice Chairman
Burkley, Ranking Member Patterson, and committee members
Andy Thompson (R-Marietta),
Steve Kraus (R-Sandusky),
Margaret Ann Ruhl (R-Mt.
Vernon), Sarah LaTourette
(R-Bainbridge Township), Paul
Zeltwanger (R-Mason), Christina Hagan (R-Marlboro Township), Nino Vitale (R-Urbana),
Jeff Rezabek (R-Clayton), Jim
Buchy (R-Greenville), Tim
Schaffer (R-Lancaster), Terry
Boose (R-Clarksville), Michael
OBrien (D-Warren), Jack Cera
(D-Bellaire), and Michael Sheehy (D-Oregon). Also present
was one Statehouse member not
on the committee, Rep. Robert
McColley (R-Napoleon).
Thursdays session served to
start the discussion for the year.
The committee also intends to
hold a hearing at Sylvania City
Council Chambers, near Toledo, on Feb. 12.

As a result, those areas only

This pattern is more similar

McCoy. It appears now that we

the middle of the month. Temperatures are forecast to be well

right at normal, which more than
likely means that any moisture

Greetings from cold, sunny
Michigan! I have ham bones
in the pressure cooker. I want
to make ham and beans for
supper tonight.
Our pork is almost all pressure canned or in the freezer.
We still want to smoke 100
pounds of summer sausage using hamburger and sausage.
The vegetable soup we
canned last week totaled 30
quarts. I make it thick so that
more tomato juice can be added to the soup at the point you
open a quart if preferred.
Our freezers are filled beyond capacity. We ended up
putting some meat in Timothys freezer for now.
Saturday we will help Jacob
and Emma butcher pork. Then
we should be done with that for
another year. Its a lot of work
but well worth it once its in the
freezer.
On Friday, my brother Amos
was working with his construction crew. He was found outside, lying down. They called
an ambulance. He was taken to
the nearest hospital, where the
doctors think he had a ministroke and a bad ear infection,
causing dizziness, vomiting,
etc. He still is almost too weak
to walk but was released to
travel home, about three-anda-half hours away.
It was two years ago in
January when Amos was also
taken to the hospital by ambulance after being in a van accident on his way to work. They
hit black ice, causing the van
to roll numerous times and
taking the lives of two of my
cousins, Dan Graber and Chris
Eicher.

Amos was in this time is two
hours from here. Jacob, sister Emma, sisters Verena and
Susan, Joe, and I went to visit with Amos at the hospital
Friday evening. Amoss wife
Nancy and children, and all
their married children were at
the hospital too. It was a long
drive for them.
Saturday visitors here were
sister Liz, Levi, Levi Jr., Rosa
and Suzanne, and their married daughter Elizabeth with
husband Samuel. They spent
the night with sisters Verena

Factory farms
crowding county?
Dear Editor,
This letter concerns the
increase of factory farms

in Paulding County. We
now have a lot more manure
problems than we can handle
as far as air, water and soil
contamination. They are hauling it in from other counties.
Why? It lies in some areas
like pools of oil on top of the
ground and sometimes you
cant step out of your door
without the odor pushing you
back in the house. This CANNOT be healthy for anyone.
Its on the road, along the
road, in the air and everywhere.
A dairy in Harrison Township wants to increase its
herd to 2,000. It will have to
expand its existing manure
storage pond to 23 million
gallons as well as its solid
manure storage to 66,200
cubic feet. They are near the
Zuber Cut-off ditch which
is near our property. What
happens if that overflows? I
am concerned now about the
quality of water we are using
in our pond for the house

even though we use filters,
etc. This is not fair to the
land owners all around these
dairy farms and other factory
farms that produce so much
waste and dead animals.
It is public knowledge that
even our own USA people
that ate ground meat from
some grocery stores had a
mad cow disease a few
years ago because the spinal
cords of diseased cows were
ground into the ground meat
along with the snouts, ears,
and everything possible. So
what happens to the dead
animals from these factory farms? When there are
thousands of animals on each
farm, you realize that there
are animals that die all the
time. What do they do with
them? You know that we have
a huge fly problem now, too.
Its scary to to think that they
could be coming from rotting
meat somewhere near your
home.
I heard from an attendant

to one of the recent factory
farm meetings in the fall of
2014, that Mr. Cooper that
was there said they intend to
put SEVENTEEN hog farms
in this area in the future.
When the crowd groaned,
he said, Well, you like pork
chops, dont you? I, for one,
have not purchased any pork
chops since I heard that. I
do not want to see anymore
factory farms in Paulding
County.
I grew up on a farm with
all kinds of animals. I helped
milk cows; its not that I
am not accustomed to farm
smells, but I dont like them
coming two miles down the
road and taking over my
space where Ive lived for 50
years. It scares me that the
almighty dollar can ruin the
common person and the politicians cannot or will not do
anything about it.

regular session with the following members present: Roy Klopfenstein, Tony
Zartman, Mark Holtsberry, and Nola
Ginter, Clerk.
MEETING NOTES OF APPOINTMENTS
Gary Derck - Derck presented FSA
paperwork for the Chairmans signature.
He also noted the lime application project has been done. The commissioners
agreed they will have the prosecuting
attorney draft an amendment to the farm
lease to allow the improvement to the
ground. Derck commented the brush
along the property line has been taken
care of. He also added the winter wheat,
although late, looks good. Derck then
presented an intended acre report for
the commissioners review. He also discussed crop rotation.
Jim Langham, Paulding Progress
- The commissioners talked about the
re-organization of their office, noting that
Klopfenstein was appointed chairman for
2015 and Zartman is co-chairman. Klopfenstein listed a few goals for the commissioners office in 2015:
1) The courthouse dome/copula needs
internal structural repair. A professional
engineering firm has already been secured to start the project.
2) The west sidewalk is in need of
repair due to damage from heavy equipment used on last falls courthouse improvement project. The landscaping will
also need attention. Both of these project
will be on hold until spring.
3) Continue to work on the Harrison
Street facility to ready it for county use.
4) Consider various options for the old
law library building.
The commissioners are also excited
about a third wind farm project in Paulding County. Northwest Ohio Wind has

in Blue Creek and Latty Townships. Access roads and preparing for turbine bases
are already under way.

the Park District Board for an additional

MEETING NOTES OF APPOINTMENTS
Sheriff Jason Landers met with the commissioners for his regularly scheduled appointment.
He presented December 2014 and calendar year
2014 reports for the commissioners review.
The December report showed a total of 50 inmates serving a total of 704 days in the Putnam
County Jail. 2014 total inmates were 414 serving
a total of 8,107 days.
Sheriff Landers noted Paulding County has

paid out $1,548,547.75 in out housing since Nov.
20, 2008. He also reported medical costs billed
for 2014 totaled $141,650.31; however, the negotiated rate actually paid was $30,907.36, a savings
of $110,742.95.
Comparing out-housing costs in 2014 to 2013,
the sheriff noted a savings of $94,580.70. This
savings was realized due to an agreement on a set
annual rate. The agreement is in effect until Dec.
31, 2015.
The commissioners and Sheriff Landers talked
about the pros and cons of putting the jail operating levy on the ballot. Sheriff Landers noted, in
his opinion, it will always come down to personal
preference/opinion versus fiscal responsibility.
The sheriff reported he has quotes to purchase
a snow plow to install on the front of one of his
trucks. He also noted he was able to negotiate the
union contract at his office without a large attorney fee.
County Court Judge Suzanne Rister had questions about the Harrison Street building. The commissioners noted the Internet would be connected
soon and they will keep everyone involved abreast
of the progress. Judge Rister requested an executive session to discuss personnel matters.
Auditor Claudia Fickel discussed the new
phones and inquired about an upgrade for her
office. The commissioners will follow-up with
Metalink. Fickel noted she will file for an extension for the county financial statements, due Feb.
28. A local independent accounting firm has been
preparing the financial statements. An extension is

necessary to allow additional time to complete the
work.
Jerry Zielke, Economic Development, and
Travis McGarvey, Engineer - The commissioners presented a report on infrastructure and road
project within the county. McGarvey agreed to
complete the report.
Zielke then presented his December 2014 report. He was excited to announce a Career Op
Day at the OSU Extension building on March
24. Zielke is spearheading the day. He reported
the south end of the OSU Extension building will
be used for seminars led by various area college
representatives. The remaining portion of the
building will be available for area manufacturers
and businesses to display employment opportunities in Paulding County.
Zielke hopes to prepare a booklet with area
job opportunities and requirements. He is targeting area junior and high school students who desire to return to Paulding County after graduation
and college.
Ed Bohn, Paulding County EMA, presented
his activity report for the first week in January.
He and the commissioners discussed the feasibility of inviting the EMA Advisory Board members to the LEPC meetings. All were in agreement this would be a good idea.
Bohn presented the updated Paulding County
Emergency Operations Plan - Basic Plan for the
commissioners review. The commissioners will
forward the plan on to the Prosecutor for his
review before adopting it. Bohn noted he could

apply for a siren grant through a company (not a
government grant). The commissioners encouraged him to do so.
Bohn also noted he is in the process of readying and equipping the Emergency Operations
Center, which is the conference room at the
health department. He has also filed the SERC/
LEPC grant, which is due Feb. 1. He noted he his
request was for $35,000; however, his goal is to
be awarded more than in previous years. Bohn
noted the criteria for applying for the grant is: 1)
County must have an active LEPC; 2) County
must have facilities/manufacturers with haz-mat;
and 3) Grant dollars are based on the population
of the county.
The commissioners thanked Bohn for the update and expressed their appreciation for his good
work.
Treasurer Lou Ann Wannemacher presented
her investment interest report. She noted the
estimated revenue from investments for 2014
was $42,000. She was pleased to report that actual receipts were $57,634.62. Wannemacher

PAULDING Twelve
members were present during
the informal meeting of the
genealogy society chapter of
Paulding County on Jan. 14.
Vice president Dave Betts brought a goose feather
Christmas tree. A brief history concerning the Christmas
tree and how it was made and
displayed in Germany during
the 1800s was shared. In the
early 1800s with Germanys
environmental concerns, it
was not popular to cut down
trees, even for Christmas.
Dyed in assorted colors, the
feathers were wrapped with
wire over a wooden dowel to
make this tree. The branches were six inches apart to
keep candles from burning
the branch above. Ranging
from 2 feet to 8 feet in height,
some were adorned with hand
blown glass ornaments, others with strands of popcorn or
handmade items. They came
folded in a box the size of an

umbrella, some with electric
lights. German made trees
could be authenticated by the
hand stenciled base.

at 10:30 a.m.
Members were brought up to date of the building
fund campaign. Letters have been sent to past members, their families, to businesses and to interested parties of the Bargain Bin.
A goal of $250,000 has been set in order to construct a new building at the corner of Harrison and
Cherry streets. Donations have been received and are
still coming in. Many people have already seen what
advantage the new building for the Bargain Bin will
bring toclients who visit regularly as well as those
who so faithfully donate on a weekly basis.
During the meeting, those in attendance were reminded of its continued vision and responsibility that
began in the early 1960s. It was during that that time
when the polio epidemic was prevalent and the Bargain Bin used its funds to help support the physical
therapy department at the hospital.Since that early
vision was put into place some 50 years ago it is estimated that over $1 million has been donated to the

Drunk as Cooter Brown

I love the South and my grandparents were both from thesouthern states. Of course, mygranny
could make great sugar cookies,
sweet tea, dandelion greens, fresh
green beans and super pies and
could forecast the weather using
various nature signs.
I grew up with not only her
cooking and weather prediction
ability, but with a lot of her Southern slang and many old wives
tales.
It has been unofficiallyreported that conversations south of the
Mason-Dixon line will confuse
anyone who isnot born there.
I have heard most of the Southern slang, but never comprehendedhow they came to be and
foremost what they meant.One
of them is, Were living in high
cotton. What has high cotton got
to do with anything? Well, if you
are from a cotton growing state,
it means your tall cotton bushes
are loaded with white fluffy balls
which are easier to pick and will
yield a good harvest. In other
words, you feel rich and successful. I always wondered if therewas
a sayingthat pertains to living in
low cotton?
I am sure we have all heard the
expression, Madder than a wet
hen. I found out that hens enter
into a phase of broodiness which
means they will stop at nothing to
sit on their eggs and get very agitated when anyone tries to gather
them. In fact, farmers used to dunk
hens in cold water to break their
broodiness and no one wants to
be around any hormonal female,
especially if she has just had an ice
bath.
Have you ever usedthe phrase,
You cant make a silk purse out
of a sows ear? I really dont get
up close and personal with a pig,
but their ears appear to be soft and
shiny. But, if you tried to make it
intoa Coach bag, everyone would
still know that it is still a pigs ear.
The saying, You look hard
rode and put up wet, is not a sexual innuendo, but is a crucial step
A Penny for
Your Thoughts
tle Liver pills? The saying,Shes

got more nerve than Carters got
Liver Pills, comes from a pill
peddling company in the late 19th
century. The Carter Company advertised and pushed their so-called
liver pills so hard that this is where
the saying came from. Now back
in 1951, the Federal Trade Commission made Carters drop the
term liver from its advertising,
claiming it was deceptive, but the
saying hung around and became a
Southern phrase.
I think I may use this phrase
when I am asked how I am feeling, Im finer than frog hair split
four ways. Even those below the
Mason-Dixon know frogs dont
have hair, and the irony is meantto
highlight just how dandy you feel.
The phrase reportedly originated
in C. Davis Diary of 1865.
He thinks the sun comes up
just to hear him crow, is a good
saying also. I think my cat thinks
the same thing. In the South and
all over, this means that a cocky
crowing rooster thinks the sun
comes up just because he crows.
Similarly, an extremely cocky
man might think the same when
he speaks, sings or does anything,that everyone should listen
to him. I know several people like
this, so I will have to remember
this saying.
My mama always said, Bless
your heart, another term that
Southerners drop constantly. Now
I am hearing the saying is not really religious, but a passive way to
call someone an idiot.
Depending on your inflection,
saying Bless your heart can
sting worse than any insult. I remember going into a grocery store
one time and showing my mama
pigs ears and pig feet. She stood
there to tenderly, bowed her head
and said, Bless its little heart.
Have you ever used any of the
sayings? Have you ever heard
anyone use them? Have you ever
heard of Cooter Brown? Let me
know and Ill give you a Penny for
Your Thoughts.

Thank you behind the scenes

The other week when I was
picking up medication at the
drive-through window of a local pharmacy, a sudden gust of
wind startled me as it whipped
around the car and sucked
cash out of my hand into its
grasp. I will never forget the
sight of several valuable dollar bills suddenly whipping
into the parking lot and into
the great unknown.
Quickly, I reacted by pulling my car into the parking
lot, jumping out of the car, and
attempting to chase my dollar
bills as they danced ahead of
me toward the ditch and the
road.
Suddenly, I realized that
there were footsteps approaching from behind. As I glanced
behind me, I was stunned to
see my medicine checkout girl
(Emilie) running into the cold
without any coat on to assist
with my plight. She dashed
into the ditch and retrieved
one of the bills and then ran
quickly up the embankment
to step her foot on another.
All but one was retrieved and
none by me.
I cant describe the encouragement of Emilies kind actions behind the scenes and I
have since learned that other
pharmacists have done the
same thing from time to time.
But this was the first of several youthful helps in the
life of this aging soul.
Just a few days later, I was
driving to Van Wert from
Paulding in the midst of a
snowstorm and suddenly, just
before I approached the Cooper turkey plant along U.S.
127, north of Van Wert, my
tire blew out! Instinctively, I
coasted into the Cooper parking lot. For a few moments,
I tried to get myself together
and decided what strategy I
was going to use for this situation.
I knew that it might not be
the best for my 66-year old
heart to try to change my tire

will still have options, but you

may need to make some tradeoffs, such as possibly retiring
later than you had originally
planned. So heres the key:
Start investing as early as possible and keep investing.
Money Not surprisingly,
the more money you invest
on a regular basis while you
are working, the more money
youll likely end up with when
you retire. Suppose, for example, that you invested $3,000
per year and earned a hypothetical 7% annual return.
After 30 years, youd have
accumulated about $303,000
(assuming the investment
was placed in a tax-deferred
account, such as a traditional
IRA). But if you put in $5,000
per year, instead of $3,000,
and earned the same hypothetical 7% annual return, youd
end up with about $505,000
after 30 years, again assuming
the investment was placed in
a traditional IRA. The difference between $3,000 per year
and $5,000 per year isnt all
that much just about $40
a week but after 30 years,
these relatively small differences can add up to a big sum
of money. Of course, this is
just a simple illustration that
shows how saving more can
possibly put you in a better
position in the future. Keep in

mind that there are no guarantees and that the value of your
investments will fluctuate.
Return You might think
that your investments rate of
return is the one variable over
which you have the least control. However, least control
doesnt mean no control.
You can control your potential return to the extent of selecting a mix of stocks, bonds,
government securities and
other investments that reflects
the level of risk youre willing
to tolerate in exchange for the
potential growth youd like to
achieve. By creating this mix,
you can help yourself avoid
the biggest investment risk of
all not reaching your longterm goals.
By investing for as many
years as you can, putting in
as much as possible each year
and choosing an investment
mix that provides you with
the greatest potential reward
given your risk tolerance, you
can take command, to a significant extent, of your own investment success. And thats
a type of authority you wont
want to relinquish.

Clean power
benefits for Ohio
By Mary Kuhlman
Ohio News Connection
COLUMBUS While the Environmental Protection Agencys proposal to curb carbon pollution may be a difficult pill
for opponents to swallow, some state leaders are convinced the
benefits outweigh the costs.
The majority of Ohios electricity comes from coal, and the
Clean Power Plan calls for the state to reduce carbon emissions
from coal power plants 28 percent by 2030. Despite legislation
last year that cut Ohios renewable-energy and efficiency standards, state Rep. Nickie Antonio, D-Lakewood, said many state
leaders want to advance the discussion about how Ohio can
transform into a clean-energy economy.
I have many colleagues in the Legislature, as well as local
mayors and city council folks, who are really looking for us to
move forward, she said, because they know how important
the environmental impact is for the health of our communities.
The EPA estimates the proposal would provide public-health
and climate benefits of more than $55 billion a year by 2030.
The rules are supposed to be finalized this summer, although
GOP leaders in Congress say theyll try to prevent that.
The EPA has crafted the plan so that states are allowed flexibility in how they meet their goals. Antonio said Ohio is well
positioned to advance innovations in renewable energy through
the manufacture and use of wind and solar power.
While Ohio certainly is a leader in many things, we could
be a leader in taking action to cut carbon pollution from power
plants, she said. We could invest in energy efficiency and
clean energy at the same time that were reducing the pollution.
Its estimated that Ohios clean-energy economy has created
25,000 jobs and $1 billion in savings for electricity customers,
and Antonio said those benefits would grow under the Clean
Power Plan. It also would have health benefits, she said, helping those with asthma and other lung conditions by improving
air quality.
We have an obligation to make sure that Ohio children are
protected as well as future generations from the impact of climate change, she said. Its important to address the main
cause, which is carbon pollution from power plants.
In the past two years, the EPA has received more than 8 million public comments supporting the federal limits.
Family Literacy Fun Night
Antwerp Elementary hosted

its first-ever Family Literacy Fun
Night on Jan. 26. The goal was
to spotlight the importance of
family involvement in the reading process and to equip parents
with literacy tools and information thathelp students become
strong readers. Parents and
students enjoyed a free meal,
a presentation by guest author
Paul Orshoski, community guest
readers, crafts and other literacy centers. During the event,
each student received a free
book, several students won raffle drawings, and students had
the chance to pose as a reading
superhero in a photo. National
Junior Honor Society members
greeted guests, helped with the
activities, and provided childcare. Thanks to the collaborative
effort, this inaugural event was
a very successful one. Above,
dressed as a reading superhero,
preschooler Wyatt Cline uses a
costume and props to pose for
a picture. At right, Julie Hall, the
owner of Dance Dolls, reads one
of her favorite picture books to
some students at one of theliteracy centers.

Paulding County EMA
Icicles can be a danger facing the public this
winter. The sun shining and freezing temperatures
across the county have started to the formation
of icicles on buildings, awnings, and gutters. The
number of people being injured and unfortunately
killed, by falling icicles is a hidden danger during
the winter time.
The fact that icicles are dangerous shouldnt
come as a surprise - theyre essentially little frozen
daggers, usually falling from great heights - but the
number of people harmed is surprisingly high. Dont
be complacent next time you are outside near your
homes, businesses and other outdoor objects with
icicles presents. Icicles can and are very dangerous.
How do icicles form? The heat emanating from
homes, cause snow or ice to melt and then refreeze
into icicles hanging from gutters, the edges of
roofs, windows or any place water is able to drip.
Continued cold temperatures with period of slight
warming trends also create icicles that grow and
become larger, longer and exponentially more dangerous to those who pass below them.
Icicles may become one, two, three or more feet
long, with an extensively large diameter at the top.
If they fall from as little as one story high, they can
cause property damage, injury and possibly even

death. Icicles become more of a hazard during
mild winter weather. They may look pretty with
the sunlight and hanging from the roof as a winter
wonderland scene, but they are like sharp objects.
In fact, hundreds of people are injured and some
are even killed each year, in the United States and
in other countries that have similar weather, from
spear-like icicles or large chucks of ice falling.
SAFETY TIPS for FALLING ICE:
Be aware of your surroundings and watch the
sky above for falling ice if you are close to a building and houses. Dont let the complacency bug bite
you and end up injured or even worse.
Be aware most ice falls within 5-10 feet of
domestic buildings but can travel much higher
heights with downtown buildings.
You should not stand under areas where icicles
have formed.
Never place a ladder directly against a gutter
covered with ice or icicles the pressure of the ladder against the gutter may cause the ice or icicles to
dislodge, falling on the person or property below.
When removing icicles, stand to the side of the
area of the icicles and tap the icicles to remove
them. Hitting them hard could cause damage to
the structure.

Paulding County Relay For

Life kickoff this Saturday
By JIM LANGHAM
Feature Writer
PAULDING The annual
Relay For Life Kickoff will
take place this Saturday evening, Feb. 7 at the Paulding
Eagles starting at 6 p.m. Everyone is invited to attend and
enjoy a fun-filled evening to
launch this years fundraiser
for the fight against cancer.
Teams will be selling and
displaying items to raise money toward the effort. At 7:30
p.m., a live auction will begin,
led by Aaron Timm.
This year will be the 30th
year celebration of Paulding County Relay For Life.
The American Cancer Society event began here in 1985
and has continued for the past
three decades.
This years actual Relay
will take place at the Paulding
County Fairgrounds, beginning at 5 p.m. on Friday, May
29 through Saturday, May 30.
This years theme, says Relay committee member and
leader Jillene McMichael, is,
Bring the People, Building
the Fun, Find the Mission.
Its time to kick off Relay
in Paulding County, said McMichael. Saturdays event
is open to the public. In fact,
the event is designed for the
public. The event leadership
team and the teams will be
hosting this fun-filled evening
and were ready to show our
community what Relay is all
about.
Check out this years
theme, visit with our community survivors, and just have
an evening of fun while taking
part in one of the Relays biggest events, continued McMichael.
Are you interested in joining a team, starting a new
team or just learning more
about what Relay is all about?
We encourage you to come
out and see.
The Eagles Ladies Auxiliary will have food and beverages available for purchase. In
addition, there will be many
vendor, craft and game booths
set up and hosted by local
teams.
The live auction is always
a highlight. The auction has
been growing each year with
items for kids and adults,
commented McMichael.
Paulding High School art teacher Sandy Dobbelaeres team again competed
in the Zehnders Snowfest World Class
Snow Carving Competition held Jan. 2126 in Frankenmuth, Mich. When her usual
teammates could not attend this years
event, Dobbelaere pulled together a group
of current and former students to help.
The new team of carvers were PHS senior Jake Long; Aly Munger, who attends
St. Francis College; and Emily Thielbar,
Zion National Park worker. The young trio
thought they were ready for the intensity
of the work, but soon realized it was 10
times harder. The team placed fourth and
received a prize of $800. The 21 foot long
by 10 high and 10 wide sculptures were
started Monday at 1 p.m. and finished on
Saturday at 10 a.m. Carving commenced
every morning around 8:30 and continued until 2 or 4 a.m. each morning. Friday
night, the teams do not sleep and work on
until the final hour when the judges arrive.
Throughout the evening,

music will be presented by DJ
Larry Edward Colley.
The American Cancer Society Relay For Life is the worlds
largest and most impactful
fundraising event to end cancer.
It unites communities across the
globe to celebrate people who
have battled cancer, remember
loved ones lost and take action to help fight the fight of all
fights for cancer.
McMichael
emphasized
that, like her, many of those
who participate in Relay For
Life are there because of the
way that cancer has affected
the lives of those they love.
If cancer has touched your
life, participating in Relay

For Life is a way to take action and help finish the fight,
observed McMichael. This is
your opportunity to honor cancer survivors, remember those
you have lost and raise funds
and awareness to fight back
and help end cancer forever.

Pointers for adults returning to school

Todays seniors, particularly
those who already have passed
retirement age, may find themselves with many free hours
to fill now that a job no longer
accounts for most of their time.
Returning to school may help
seniors realize lifelong dreams
of finishing a degree, exploring
a hobby, getting educated to
gain work in a new field, or just
to fill some time in a productive
way.
Information from the United
States Department of Educations National Center for Education Statistics finds the demand for continuing education
is still growing. For those aged
35 and older, the center says
adult enrollment should grow
by at least another 7 percent
through 2016.
Its possible to return to
school at any age. Adults looking at continuing education pos-
sibilities can heed these easy

tips to make stepping into a
classroom again successful.
Get some help. Some time
may have passed since you last
toted textbooks or entered a
classroom setting. Things have
changed since you last were in
school. Sit down with a guidance counselor or a career advisor and go over your schooling
goals to plot out a degree map.
This will help you determine
which courses to take or what
schools will best fit your needs.
Research schooling options.
According to the National Survey of Students in Continuing
Education, adult learners prefer post-secondary education
that is affordable and close to
home. Recognize that many
schools now offer online learning, which may be ideal for you
if you prefer to learn from the
comfort of home. Decide what
is important to you in a school,

then narrow down your prospects.
Schedule a campus visit.
Tour the campus to get a feel
for the school environment.
Visit with someone in student
services or attend an event for
adult learners so you will know
what the admissions process entails.
Get financial assistance.
Scholarships, grants and other financial aid are not just for
young students. You may be eligible for financial help. Speak
with a financial aid advisor to
determine your eligibility for
programs.
Decide enrollment status.
Do you want to go to school full
time or part time or do you want
to take classes here and there?
Knowing in advance will help
you develop the right schedule.
Take a few refresher cours-
es. Rather than delve into the

tough stuff right away, enroll in
a few basic classes to ease yourself back into the academic environment. Then next semester
you can increase the difficulty
level and workload.
Be prepared for homework
and study. You may have grown
accustomed to being only accountable to yourself as of late.
Once in school you will have
assignments and tests. Plan for
study time and develop a schedule to allow for school commitments.
Take it slow. Theres no race
to the finish line. Going back to
school is your decision, and you
can go at your own pace.
Adult students return to the
classroom for many reasons.
Involve family in the decision
to continue education and embrace the positive changes that
are in store.
(NewsUSA) Marvin Mallon, 86, and his wife, Reva,

know how important it is to
plan ahead before embarking
on a long journey especially
when it comes to their health.
During a road trip through
the United States and Canada,
Marvin Mallon needed regular
hormone injections to treat his
prostate cancer. Thanks to his
Kaiser Permanente physician,
the Southern California grandfather was able to receive his
treatment during a stopover in
Helena, Montana.
I was miles away from my
doctor, and Kaiser Permanente saw to it that I was taken
care of, said Mallon.
Older adults usually have
several health concerns, said
Jose Dryjanski, M.D., a travel
medicine specialist in Southern California. They should
consult with their doctor or a
travel clinic before going on
a long trip. Being prepared
is the key to staying safe and

healthy.
Dr. Dryjanski offers six basic health tips for a less stressful trip:
1. Get vaccinated. Learn
what vaccines are needed.
You may need shots to protect
against pneumonia, measles,
meningitis, polio and other
diseases. To develop immunity, vaccines need to be given
four to six weeks before your
trip begins, so plan accordingly.
2. Remember to take your
medication. Refill your prescriptions before you leave.
Bring a list of all your medications in case you lose them
or need medical attention.
Bring important medicines in
a carry-on bag. If you have
diabetes, check with your airline about travel restrictions
regarding insulin, insulin syringes and blood glucose testing supplies.
3. Drink bottled water, and

avoid raw food. Stay hydrated.
If youre traveling in a developing country, drink bottled
water and bottled juices only.
Avoid ice, ice cream, soft
cheeses and raw vegetables.
Bacteria found in these foods
can cause diarrhea and vomiting.
4. Exercise often. Take
stretch or walk breaks, especially if youre on a plane or
in a car. Sitting for long periods of time can cause vein and
pulmonary clots.
5. Prevent falls and injuries.
Its easy to fall while traveling. You can stumble on a
curb while sightseeing, or trip
in your unfamiliar hotel room.

Walk carefully, and make sure
your room has proper lighting and a clear path to the
bathroom free of telephone
cords, bags and suitcases.
6. Protect against mosquito
bites and sun damage. Mosquito bites can transmit diseases such as malaria. Wear
clothing that covers your
skin, and use insect repellant
approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Prevent sun damage by using
sunscreen with a sun protection factor of at least 30.
If youre traveling abroad,
find out in advance whether
your health plan covers you.

Among those observing a January wedding anniversary at

Paulding County Senior Center were Jim and Isabel Morisy. They
have been married 60 years.
Kylee Baumle/Paulding County Progress
The bed below the flower boxes has pink petunias that come up volunteer every year. They share
this space with mums and some ornamental grasses as well as some small Euonymus shrubs.
Theyre Wave offspring and I dont have the heart to tear them out when I see them coming up.
Im planning a petunia party

Its been thought of as a
grandma plant, one of those
in your earliest memories of all
flowers, and one that you may
not get excited about when it
comes to growing it. If you even
grow it at all. The petunia gets
such little respect.
Much of the horticulture
world ho-hums this poster child
for easy-to-grow plants too, but
thankfully others have been
busy hybridizing and introducing vibrant and fun new varieties. Last year, the National
Garden Bureau declared 2014
to be The Year of the Petunia.
I decided to jump on that bandwagon (albeit a little late) and
Ive declared 2015 to be The
Year of the Petunia here at Our
Little Acre. Its going to be a petunia party!
I fell in love with petunias
several years ago, when they
started appearing here and there
in my garden, seemingly out of
nowhere. Every year since I first
planted them in my front porch
flower boxes, Ive had petunias
in the flower bed directly below,
but every once in a while a few
came up volunteer way back in
my vegetable garden.
As I generally research things
to death, so it was with petunias,
as I tried to figure out where in
the heck these random plants
could have come from. It was
then that I learned just how
amazing petunias really are.
Heres the thing: a single petunia flower, if allowed to remain on the plant, will produce
a ridiculous amount of seed.
Theres anywhere from 250,000
to 300,000 petunia seeds to an
ounce. Theyre super tiny, as
you might imagine, but the
fact that petunias are copious
seed producers increases their
chances of germination.
Petunias need light in order
In the
Garden
By
Kylee Baumle
to germinate, and since their
seeds are so tiny (like specks of
pepper), some will drop into the
dark crevices of the soil. Others
will remain on top and eventually grow into plants. As tiny as
they are, that alone is a miracle.
If for some reason you doubt
your ability to grow petunias,
just do this: go to the garden center and buy a pack of
Wave petunias. They come in
colors such as pink, white, purple, red, and even salmon. (No
yellow ones yet though. Yellow
can be difficult to breed in petunias.) These are some of the easiest petunias ever, and one plant
can cover an area of up to three
square feet. Imagine that much
petunia spilling out of a flower
box or other container!
Another variety that performs
well is the Supertunia that
Proven Winners introduced
several years ago. In my own
garden, the Waves do a tad bit
better, but I know gardeners that
swear by Supertunias, so your
mileage may vary. Both Waves
and Supertunias are self-cleaning, meaning you dont have
to deadhead them to keep them
blooming.
And then there are the gazil-
lions of other petunias that have

been introduced in recent years
with fun names such as Sweetunia Johnny Flame, Blue a
Fuse, Good and Plenty Pomegranate, Raspberry Superstar,
Great Marvel Violet, ChaChing Cherry, Cascadias Indian Summer and Glamouflage Grape.
With all the different and new
petunias on the market today,
Im going to pick and choose
the types and colors I want, and
then sometime in late March or
early April (depending on the
weather), Im going to go sprinkle the oodles of petunia seeds
Ill have purchased by then in
the spaces of my garden where
I hope theyll be happy and prolific.
Ive already got some seeds
that were sent to me by a breeder
last summer that arent even on
the market and probably never
will be. He just enjoys seeing
what kinds of new plants he
can create by cross-pollinating
them himself, and he doesnt
really know what these seeds
will end up producing. I love
surprises.
My vision is to walk out my
door and see petunias blooming
EVERYWHERE. Since moths
love them too, Ill expect to see
plenty of hawk moths (sometimes known as hummingbird
moths, along with another
species) at dusk. Petunias can
produce a beautiful fragrance,
depending on the variety, and
Ill enjoy walking through the
garden at the end of the day and
getting my sniff on.

Antwerp fiscal officer retires with options

By JOE SHOUSE
Progress Staff Writer
jshouse@progressnewspaper.org
ANTWERP For Loretta

Baker, a new chapter in her
life is fast approaching. Serving as fiscal officer for the
village of Antwerp for the
past eight years, Baker will be
retiring in March, a decision
she knew would come, but not
this soon. Admitting that she
has worked for someone else
for 47 years, this change will
be one that will probably take
some getting use to.
I love my job and I really
dont want to retire. But right
now there are some things in
life you cant control and you
need to make decisions that
may not be what you want but
you know deep in your heart it
is for the best, she said.
And knowing its the best
thing to do for my family,
then I am alright with that. I
will look forward to the future
with hope, knowing that life
has prepared me for whatever
will come my way, she concluded.
Baker knows all about challenges. When she became the
fiscal officer, the village was
on fiscal watch and she walked
into a situation that called for
better control of the villages
spending.
It was not easy and it took
about 18 months to get out of
the fiscal watch status. I would
have a state auditor visit with
me once a month and make

sure I was doing the right thing
and making the right decisions.
But that is what I enjoy doing.
I consider myself a problem
solver. Today, I look back on
that time and I am glad for the
situation being what it was. It
really helped me with the job
and taught me a lot at the very
beginning, said Baker.
With her ability to lead the
village through a less than
stellar time and using her quiet
leadership to gain the confidence of the village and to use
her responsibility to move the
village forward financially,
Baker assumed her new nickname as Mrs. Frugal. A name
she affectionately accepts.
With a quiet laugh, Baker
says that she often times will
hear a council member state,
We better check with Mrs.
Frugal first.
The challenge of working
through the financial issues
the village faced some eight
years ago was difficult but Loretta faced other challenges far
riskier. Prior to her village employment both Loretta and her
husband of 22 years, Dennie,
lost their jobs at the same time
at Dana Corporation. They had
worked there for 31 years prior
to the plant closing in 2003.
In 2003, not only was Loretta unemployed but both her
parents passed away within
five weeks of each other. Then
came the news that no one
wants to hear. Loretta was diagnosed with breast cancer.

I went through both chemo
and radiation treatments for
about a year and a half. When
I look back on it, I have to
say that 2003 and 2004 were
a couple of bad years, Baker
admitted.
Following her cancer treatments, reality sat in, Baker
needed a job. She found employment and managed to
work at a couple of places
short term before the fiscal officer job came open.
I remember my interview
that I had one evening. I went
home after the interview and
my husband asked me how I
thought I did. With little enthusiasm she said to him, It
wasnt that great and I probably wont hear back from
them. Well the next morning
they called me and said I got
the job, Baker said with a surprised look.
Loretta is thankful for the
opportunity to serve the village. She admits that she will
miss the relationships that
have been built over the years
with many different people.
This is a wonderful community and people care about
their village. We have so many
things to be proud of including
the wonderful people, our park
and the activities, the parades
and our school. Its just a great
place, she said.
When looking to the village
Monthly sewer fees to increase

By SAMANTHA
HABERN
Correspondent
PAULDING The Paulding
Village Council met briefly on
Feb. 2 and approved a new
monthly sewer fee starting in
2016.
In the absence of Mayor
Greg White, Councilman
Roger Sierer presided at the
meeting.
Due to upcoming debts relating to the Phase II of the
sewer separation project, the
village is amending the standard monthly fees for all users
of the sewer system. Council
suspended the rules and approved Ordinance 1494-15,
amending Ordinance 1448-12
and establishing an additional
monthly fee for village sewer
users for payment of debt service expenses.
Starting July 1, 2016, a
new Section 5 will be added
to Ordinance 1448-12, where
all users of the sewer system
shall pay an additional fee of
$3 per month, increasing each
monthly fee to $18.
Two citizens addressed the
council with concerns of snow
being plowed into their yard
by a nearby apartment complex. Due to a misunderstanding, they were told to appear
before the council. Councilman Randy Daeger and solicitor Mike Jones explained to
them that since the village is
not involved, they could not
do anything. They suggested
that the property owners be
called.
In other business, council:
Heard the second reading of Ordinance 1493-15
authorizing the mayor to execute any and all documents
required by the state of Ohio,
Department of Transportation
(ODOT) for paving work to be
performed by ODOT within
the village, to execute con-
tracts as required.
Approved the administrators agenda, which contained
14 copies of water and sewer
assessments for residences
owned by Alan W. Griffiths
Trustee; one copy of a water,
sewer and refuse assessment
for a residence owned by Alan
W. Griffiths Trustee; and one
copy of a water and sewer

assessment for a residence
owned by Birdstone Inc.
Jones called for an executive session to discuss legal
matters.
The next meeting will be
at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb.
19, due to Presidents Day on
Monday, Feb. 16.
Joe Shouse/Paulding County Progress
Loretta Baker looks at ease in her work station as Antwerp Villages fiscal officer, but she is turning in her books soon for retirement. Her attention will now be directed at her family and hobbies,
a prospect she relishes.
and its future she believes the
current council is truly concerned about the village and
in making the right decisions.
Its always been my motto
or my goal to always treat
everyone the same and I feel
confident that our village leaders will do the same, Baker
said.
Now that retirement is just a
few short weeks away, Loretta
is already planning what she
will do with some of her time.
Most of her plans will involve
her family and rightfully so for
they have some traditions to
carry out that none will want to
miss.
I want to spend as much
time as I can with Dennie. He is
a wonderful husband and he deserves my attention more than
ever now that I can be home
with him., she said.

Dennie and Loretta attend
the Zion Lutheran Church in
Woodburn, and along with
their church they also have children, grandchildren and even
a great-grandchild they enjoy
being with. Two of Lorettas
children live nearby in New
Haven and Harlan while one
lives in Winterville, N.C.
Im very close to my kids
and I have this thing that I do
with my grandchildren that is
always a lot of fun. When one of
them turns 10 years old we plan
a trip together and take them on
a vacation. Last year, we took
one to Pigeon Forge and this
year we are in the planning
stages for our summer trip with
the next one that turns 10 this
year. I have nine grandchildren
so we have taken some neat
trips and will have some to take

in the future, Loretta said.
So, a loving husband, wonderful family, but there is one
last activity that Loretta is really excited about. She loves
to sew, quilt, mend and repair
clothes but there is one item that
she has recently purchased that
she is looking forward to using.
I just bought a long-arm
quilting machine and I am
pretty excited about that and I
am looking forward to seeing
what I can do with it. It should
be fun, she said.
In the midst of her retirement when Loretta is trying to
figure out what to do that day
should I quilt, plan a trip, or
spend the day with my husband? I dont think it will be
a hard decision, after all, she is
a problem solver.

Winless North Central sneaks up on Archers on Saturday

By JOE SHOUSE
Sportswriter
ANTWERP For Antwerp
Archer fans, they have come

to expect that when the game
is on the line, Sam Williamson
will find a way to score in the
last second. Last Friday, in a
Green Meadows Conference
showdown with Holgate, the
junior did not disappoint the
faithful blue-and-white. However, for Holgate, Williamson
firmly placed a dagger, or more
specifically, an Archer arrow,
in the Tigers with 0.09 seconds
remaining to allow Antwerp
escape with a win.
With the score knotted at
30 apiece, the Archers had the
ball out of bounds at midcourt
with 6.1 seconds remaining.
Teammate Matt Jones triggered the ball to Williamson
who circled around the top of
the key and ended up gathering
himself along the baseline for a
12 footer over the outstretched
arms of 6-foot-4 Austin Buchholz. The ball hit nothing
but net as the referee whistled
Buchholz for a foul. With 0.09
remaining and the Archers on
top 32-30, Williamson capped
off the 3-point play to give the
blue-and-white a 33-30 comefrom-behind win.
Thats what Sam does. He
makes big shots. He didnt
have the best night shooting
but at the end I want the ball in
his hands, said Antwerp head
coach TJ Hammer.
Trailing by one to the Tigers,
24-23, heading into the final
eight minutes, the visitors increased their margin to four on
a Jake Grim 3-pointer. Trenton
Copsey answered with two free
throws and a basket to tie the
score at 27 apiece. Josh Longardner connected from close
range to put the Archers ahead
29-27 with 3:22 remaining. A
Copsey free throw at the 1:30
mark pushed the Archer lead
to three, 33-30, as both teams
turned it over in the closing
minute.
Senior Owen Clady tied the
scored with a triple and the
clock showing just 28.2 seconds remaining. An Antwerp
turnover followed by a Holgate
traveling call gave the ball back
to Antwerp to set up Williamsons heroics.
In the first half, the Archers
led 11-3 after one quarter and
managed to increase their margin to as many as 10 before
the Tigers rattled off nine unanswered points to trail 13-12.
The teams went to the dressing room at the break with the
Archers hanging on to a fourpoint advantage, 18-14.
At the beginning we had
good energy and had a good
start but we quit pushing the
ball and allowed them back
into it, said Hammer.
The third frame opened
with Copsey hitting a bucket
followed by an old fashioned
3-point play to put Antwerp
back in control at 23-14, but
the quarter ended with the Tigers scoring the final 10 points
to take the one-point lead into
the fourth quarter.
Trenton played a heck of a
game. He scored, rebounded
and kept us in a position to
win, said Hammer.

LCC Thunderbird Classic
Clemens, Showalter 2nd;

Showalter
earns 100th
LIMA Wayne Trace traveled to Lima Central Catholic
(LCC) on Friday, Jan. 30 to compete in one of the hardest

District 3 wrestling tournaments in the state. Featuring 40 D3
teams from northwest and southwest Ohio, the LCC Thunderbird Classic is the last meat grinder before the team competes
in GMCs and the run to the Schott.
The Raider grapplers started the first night of the tournament
off well with Max Rassman, George Clemens, Tyler Showalter,
and Anthony Rooks making it through to Saturday unscathed
and remaining in the championship bracket.
Caleb Schultz, Jacob Dingus, Brandon Laney, Josh Reel, and
Braxton Asher all suffered a loss on Friday, but would pick up
wins in the consolation bracket to remain alive for Saturday.
As the consolation rounds continued Saturday, each Raider
was eventually on the short end of a match. All would eventually be unable to advance in the consis.
As the brackets picked up in strength, Rassman and Rooks
would drop their first match in the championship bracket and
fall into the consi bracket, and then, drop that match, as well,
and be eliminated from the tournament.
George Clemens IV started Saturday off with a win via fall
over Beckford of Lakota. He followed that up with a major decision over a very solid wrestler, Miami Easts Strubler. With
these two wins, Clemens found himself in the championship
match.
Tyler Showalter faced off against Leeper from Van Buren
to start his Saturday off with a pin. His hand was raised and as
he turned to come off the mat a moment of surprise donned his
face as team mates held his banner along the side of the mat.
Showalter had just earned his 100th career victory in a red,
white, and blue singlet. Tyler would earn his 101st in the next
round over Soules of Allen East and find himself in the championship, as well.
Clemens and Showalter wrestled tough opponents, both from
wrestling powerhouse Mechanicsburg in the finals. Clemens
traded points back and forth until making a slight mistake and
falling to Smith. Showalter would not have enough left for returning state champ, Romero and fell to him as well.
Both Clemens and Showalter finished as 2015 runners-up at
LCC in a field of 40 teams.
This is a high quality, high quantity tournament. Every year
you see multiple state champions and state placers competing
here in several weight classes, said Clemens.
I am really proud of getting Clemens and Showalter out to
the finals, and for all the other kids that battled hard, but just
may not have had enough today for this intense tournament.
This is only going to make us better for GMCs, and that along
with the state duals, is the focus right now, concluded Clemens.

Pressure proves too

much for Paulding girls
By JIM LANGHAM
Sportswriter
Pressure defenses proved to
be the downfall for the Paulding girls basketball team this
past week in losses to Tinora and a powerful Crestview
team.
Tuesday night, the local
squad hosted Tinora and came
off the floor with an 85-30 loss
to the Rams. Thursday night,
the Panthers suffered a 78-15
loss to one of the states finest
in the Crestview Knights.
In the first contest, Tinora roared on to the floor and
grabbed a 56-20 halftime advantage. Many of the Tinora
baskets came as a result of
miscues caused by the Ram
defense that the visitors converted into baskets.
Tinora extended its lead
to 78-25 at the end of three
quarters. Paulding head coach
Lyndsi Schultz coach felt that
her girls panicked at times and
took ill-advised shots as a result.
We panicked in that first
minute and fell behind. We
didnt execute well in the
first few minutes and got into
a huge hole, commented
Schultz. Tinora got rolling.
It seemed like we had a huge
lack of focus.
Tinora is a good team, a
good strong team, continued
Schultz. They have great older talented players. We didnt
respond well, we didnt get rebounds.
Schultz said her teams
lack of ability to get back on

defense allowed the Rams to
pick up many baskets as a result of Paulding turnovers.
We had way too many turnovers. They took advantage
of many of them, observed
Schultz. We just didnt get
back on defense.
At Crestview on Thursday
night, the Panthers entered the
arena of possibly the best team
theyve played all year.
The Knight defense forced
26 Paulding turnovers that
they capitalized on en route to
one-sided win over the Panthers. In that encounter, Crestview improved its record to
16-0 and 5-0 in the Northwest
Conference. Paulding remains
winless.
Crestviews pressure confused the Panthers throughout
the first half. As a result, the
Knights jumped into a 19-4
lead at the end of the first stanza and 39-11 by halftime.
For the contest, Crestview
out-rebounded Paulding 4024.
The powerful Knights won
their 16th game of the season
against no losses, including a
5-0 record in the Northwest
Conference.
Crestviews defense came
through in 16 steals and four
blocked shots. Pauldings
scoring was led by Faith Vogel with eight points and six
rebounds.
Mackenzie Riggenbach led
the Knights in scoring with 10
points.

Raiders stay atop GMC A grim night at
By KEVIN
WANNEMACHER
Sportswriter
HAVILAND Playing
without senior forward David
Sinn, Wayne Trace boys basketball head coach Jim Linder
knew that other players would
have to step up their efforts to
make up for that loss.
The Raiders did just that
as Wayne Trace scored 15 of
the games first 17 points and
cruised from that point on as
the Raiders rolled past Ayersville 68-43 in Green Meadows
Conference boys basketball
action Friday night.
Wayne Trace jumped in
front by 14 points after one
quarter and kept that lead into
the fourth quarter as the Raiders stayed atop the GMC with
a 4-0 record while moving to
13-1 overall. Ayersville drops
to 7-6 in all games on the season and 1-2 in the conference.
A basket by Ayersvilles
Jake Lamb put the Pilots in
front 2-1 but the first quarter
belonged to the Raiders after
that.
Wayne Trace answered with
14 straight points, taking advantage of seven Pilot turnovers in the quarter, to go on
top 15-2. Ethan Linder had
three buckets in the run and
Justin Speice added two baskets to put the Raiders in control.
We definitely got off to
a great start and that always
helps, noted Raider head
coach Jim Linder. I thought
our quickness hurt them and
we were able to come up with
some steals and then convert
on the offensive end.
A 3-pointer by Ethan Linder
widened the margin to 20-4
before Ayersvilles Michael
Aden scored just before the
opening quarter buzzer to
make it 20-6 after one period.
The Pilots opened the second stanza with an Aden
3-point play followed by a
Brayton Martin basket to
quickly close within 20-11.
Wayne Trace, though, answered with an Ethan Linder
3-pointer and baskets by Cole
Shepherd and Jake Arend to
push the lead to 27-11.
Ayersville continued to
play hard and they never gave
up, Linder added. Each time
they put together a little bit of a
run we would have somebody
step up and make a play. We
had a lot of kids play tonight

and they all come in and made
plays for us.
Leading 29-18, the Raiders
closed the half with a Darius
Hale 3-pointer and a Shepherd
offensive rebound and bucket
at the halftime buzzer to post a
34-20 advantage.
Cole did a good job of rebounding for us tonight and hit
some shots, continued Linder.
Darius came in and made
some big defensive plays as
well as stepping up offensively
too. Our bench is continuing to
improve and they are gaining
confidence for us.
Martin opened the second
half scoring with a 3-pointer as
Ayersville pulled within 34-23
but the Pilots would never get
any closer.
Wayne Trace got 3-pointers
from Luke Miller and Ethan
Linder along with baskets by
Shepherd and Ethan Linder to
expand the margin to 44-25.
The Raiders eventually settled
on a 50-36 advantage entering
the final stanza.
Luke hit a big three there
for us, said Linder. Every-
body contributed tonight and

that was the kind of effort we
knew it would take.
The Raiders sealed the contest with a 12-2 run to open the
fourth quarter in widening the
lead to 62-38 as Wayne Trace
coasted to the 68-43 victory.
Ethan came out and was
able to take advantage of scoring opportunities but those
wouldnt be possible if other kids werent making plays
too, Linder stated. We did a
good job of making extra passes and getting the ball to the
open person.
Ethan Linder finished the
night with a game-high 26
points while Shepherd added 14 points and a team-high
seven rebounds. Hale recorded
nine points as well for Wayne
Trace. Miller led the way with
six assists and three steals
while Jake Arend also added
three steals to go along with
three assists.
It was a solid overall effort
for the Raiders, who played
without the services of senior
forward David Sinn due to injury. Sinns return date is uncertain at this time.
Total team effort on both
ends, concluded the Raider
head coach. We knew coming in that we had to have
some other kids come in and
contribute. They did that tonight.
Dauson Dales paced the Pilots with 13 points while Aden
added nine points and eight
rebounds. Caleb Cook posted
seven points and four steals.
Wayne Trace hit 29 of 53
field goal attempts (54 percent) and the Raiders were
three of five at the free throw
line (60 percent). The Raiders
won the battle of the boards
29-27 and committed fewer
turnovers, 18-20. Ayersville
ended the night 18 of 49 from
the field (37 percent) and five
of eight at the foul line (63
percent).
The Raider reserves improved to 10-4 overall and 3-1
in the GMC with a 37-32 win
over the Pilots.
Seth Saylor topped Wayne
Trace with 13 points and seven
rebounds while Brady Stabler
chipped in 10 points. Eli Sinn
(four), Jayden Sherry (four),
Jon Sinn (two), Seth Yenser
(two) and Clint Sinn (two)
picked up the other points.

HOLGATE At 14-2 on the

season, the senior laden Holgate Lady Tigers hit their first
three shots behind the arc and
quickly set the tone for their
game with Antwerp.
Playing on their home court
the Tigers fell behind 1-0 and
3-2 before taking the lead for
good on their way to a 58-25
win over the Lady Archers (313, 0-4).
In the first half Holgate led
38-10 with the Archers scoring just five points in each period.
The Tigers slowed it down
in the second half and controlled the tempo with a slower game scoring just 20 points
to the Archers 15.
Holgate, who starts four seniors and a junior placed three
players all seniors in double figures led by the 15 points
from Mattie Grim who bucketed three baskets while going
perfect at the foul line on 9-of9.
Connor Abel, another shooter for head coach Jim Niese
netted 13 markers including
three baskets from long range.
With Grim and Niese firing
on all cylinders from the outside, it was 6-foot senior Rachel Desgranges managing the
paint area with 12 points from
close range.
Senior Dani Like finished
with seven points including
two 3-pointers in the second
quarter and Sarah Niese with
six points on two 3-pointers.
While the Lady Tigers were
scoring from the outside and
inside, the Archers were having trouble scoring at any location on the court.
With Holgate unloading the
bench midway through the
fourth quarter, the Archers
manage scoring nine points,
its best output of the night.
Kiana Recker and Rachel
Williamson each scored six
points to lead the Archer scoring.

CONTINENTAL Last
Tuesday the Antwerp Lady
Archers traveled to Continental, a team that had only two
wins, and the Archers feeling this one could be theirs if
they play defense and hit their
shots. Unfortunately for the
Archers, missed free throws in
the fourth quarter turned costly as the Lady Pirates outlasted the blue-and-white 36-33.
Thats it in a nut shell. We
missed free throws, especially
the front end of the one-andone and we didnt recover,
said Antwerp head coach Kevin Taylor.
Trailing 29-25 heading into
the final eight minutes of play,
Avery Braaten connected on a
3-pointer to pull the Archers
to within one at 29-28 with
4:04 remaining. Continental
came right back and answered
with a three from McKenna
Scott, her third of the contest.
Scott finished with 19 to lead
all scorers.
Antwerp, still looking at a
four-point deficit scored the
next five points to move in
front 33-32. Two free throws
from Kiana Recker and one
throw from Braaten sandwiched around a 2-point bucket from Rachel Williamson
had shifted the momentum
back to the Lady Archers.
The Pirates scored the final
points from the foul line to secure the three-point win while
the Archers went to the line,
missing all four attempts in
the closing seconds.
Again, it was the foul line
that kept the Lady Archers
from the win column. On
the night, the Archers were
just 6-of-12 while the Pirates
canned 16 on 24 tries. From
the floor, the Pirates managed
just eight field goals with

four coming from behind the
3-point arc. The Archers connected on 12 field goals with
three being 3-pointers.
We gave them too many
free throws plus the Scott girl
is a real nice player for them,
said Taylor. I didnt think
their (Continental) pressure
was all that great but we just
didnt attack and relied on too
many long shots that werent
falling for us.
Antwerp opened up with
an early 7-3 advantage with
Audrie Longardner hitting a
triple in the first period. The
Archers led by as many as six
early in the second stanza on
buckets from Becca Johanns
and Annie Miesle. Leading
11-5, the Archers saw their
lead disappear when the Pirates surged ahead 12-11 with
4:13 showing on the clock.
The Pirate lead increased to
as many as three, but a Peyton
Short 3-pointer from the corner with time expiring knotted the halftime score at 16
apiece.
Braaten gave the Archers
an 18-16 lead to start the
third period, but Continental
answered with a 6-0 run to
move back in front 22-18. The
four-point lead soon doubled
to eight at 29-21 before Williamson connected prior to
the quarter ending to send the
Archers into the fourth period
trailing 29-23.
Scoring for the blue-andwhite, who fell to 3-12 after
the loss, were Williamson
with eight, Braaten adding six
and Longardner chipping in
five.
The Wayne Trace eighth grade girls basketball team captured the Green Meadows Conference
championship on Saturday with a 19-17 victory over previously unbeaten Holgate. Olivia Egnor
scored as time expired to give the Raiders the title. Wayne Trace closes the season with a record
of 15-2. Members of the squad include, front row from left Brooke Greulach, Natalie Torman,

AYERSVILLE Ayersville
outscored Wayne Trace 17-8
in the fourth quarter as the Pilots pulled away late for a 5343 victory over the Raiders in
girls basketball action Thursday night.
It was a tough ending for
the Raiders, who controlled
the play in the first half before
faltering in the second half
to the Pilots. Ayersville stays
tied atop the GMC standings
with the win, moving to 14-2
overall and 4-0 in the league.
Wayne Trace drops to 9-6 in
all games and 2-2 in the conference.
Early on, it was Wayne
Trace who had control.
The Raiders scored 10
straight points in the opening
stanza and posted a 13-8 lead
after eight minutes of action.
Danae Myers led the way for
Wayne Trace, scoring all of
her seven points in the first
quarter, while Shayna Temple
added four points and five rebounds in the quarter.
Ayersville closed within 1714 after a basket by Brittany
Addington but Wayne Trace
answered with baskets from
Temple, Erin Mohr and Courtney Mead to widen the margin
to 24-14.
At that point, the momentum in the contest switched to
Ayersville as the Pilots took
advantage of four straight
Raider turnovers to close the
half with eight consecutive
points and get within 24-22 at
halftime.
That was a crucial stretch,
noted Raider head coach Bethany Hughes. We had done
a lot of good things to that
point and we had the momentum. Then they come up with
that stretch to finish and it
switched all of the momentum
to them and gave them a spark
going into halftime.
A basket by the Pilots
Kelsey Johnston followed by
a Kyra Waldron 3-pointer and
a Lizzy Engel bucket gave the
hosts a 36-35 advantage entering the final stanza.
We battled with them,
Hughes continued. The girls
played hard but we just have
to be smarter than we were tonight. We need to learn from
the mistakes and get better
from them.
The Raiders took their final
lead of the night on a Temple
free throw to go in front 39-38
before Ayersville answered
with nine straight points to
take control.
Offensive rebounds proved
to be a big factor for the Pilots,
who picked up three straight
off of missed free throws and
turned them into baskets.
We were right there but

Paulding, Woodlan
win MAC Gym
championships
ANTWERP Saturday brought a close to the MAC Gym

winter basketball leagues. Forty-six teams were whittled down
to 14 with championship games played in seven different divisions.
In the girls divisions, Tinora flexed its muscle with teams
taking championship and runner-up positions in both the fourth
grade and fifth grade divisions. In the championship game of
the day, Crestview hit a 3-point shot at the final buzzer to upset
No. 1 seed Defiance.
On the boys side, the Woodlan third grade beat a young
Antwerp team. Fourth grade play saw Paulding upend NWC
foe Delphos Jefferson. In the fifth grade, Eastside went through
the season and tournament undefeated, closing out by beating
runner-up Wayne Trace. The sixth grade division saw Fairview
run the table as well, and defeating Antwerp in the finals.
Championship day was a culmination of five weeks of league
play that began in December and two weeks of tournaments.
Overall, league and tournament games totaled 160 games at
sites that included the Fort Wayne War Memorial Coliseum,
Woodburn Lutheran School, weekly games at the Antwerp
Local School with help from the Antwerp Athletic Boosters,
and the MAC Gym.
Two tournaments remain during the school season. The first

Panthers lose to Knights,

regroup at Ottoville
By JIM LANGHAM
Sportswriter
The Paulding boys lost a
disappointing 57-48 Northwest Conference game to
Crestview at home on Friday
evening, but bounced back,
39-36, at Ottoville on Saturday.
Following Fridays game,
Paulding head coach Shawn
Brewer had little doubt about
what the main culprit was in
the Panther loss free throws.
At the line, Crestview sank
a 77 percent 24 of 31 at the
charity stripe while Paulding
connected on just eight of 15
at their end of the floor.
It was just a matter of free
throws, said Brewer after the
game. We put them at the free
throw line too many times. I
told one of the players following the game, You cant guard
the free throw line. They hit
too many and we didnt hit
enough.
In the end, the difference
between free throws (eight
for Paulding and 24 for Crestview) was more than enough
points to turn the game around.
The game was basket for
basket early in the contest. At
one point, Paulding led 8-7,
but Crestview outscored the
home team 6-0 in the final seconds of the first quarter to grab
a 14-8 advantage.
Midway through the second quarter, Crestview had
expanded its lead to 22-12,
but Alex Arellano connected
on a 3-point shot and two free
throws at the end of the half to
close the gap to 24-17.
In the third quarter, Paulding closed the advantage to
35-30, but the Knights pulled
away again to lead 41-32 going into the final stanza. The
two squads battled 16-16
in the final eight minutes to
award the game to Crestview.
I thought our guys did a
good job battling back, said
Brewer. We never quit. But
we have to play a complete
game; this is one we should
have gotten.
Arellano had a banner game
offensively, with 23 points

while Treston Gonzales put in
a solid performance with 10
points. Connor Lautzenheiser
led all scorers, dumping in 28
points for Crestview.
In junior varsity performance, Paulding defeated
Crestview, 43-31.
On Saturday night at Ottoville, the Panthers used one of
their strongest weapons, their
defense, to squeak past the
hometown Big Green by three
points.
In that game, Paulding
grabbed a 12-8 first quarter
advantage and then held on for
the big win.
With the victory, Paulding
improved its season mark to
9-7 while Ottoville fell to 8-8.
Corbin Edwards dropped in

14 points to lead Pauldings
scoring while Gonzales gave
another solid performance
with 11 points.
In that contest, Paulding
shot at a 46 percent gate from
the floor while the Panther defense held the Big Green for
32 percent.
In junior varsity action,
Paulding won for the second
night in a row with a 36-23
win over Ottoville.

Wayne Trace wrestlers advance in duals WT hosts OHSAA

No. 1 seed Raiders vs. No. 3 Lima Bath today
regional wrestling
semis and finals
By JOE SHOUSE
Sportswriter
HAVILAND Having the

home crowd supporting you
during tournament time is always a positive. And for the
Wayne Trace Raiders, having
home mat advantage was
certainly welcomed as the
loyal Raider fans were treated
to some great wrestling last
week.
The Raiders, seeded first in
the Division III, Region 24A
duals wrestling tournament,
took wins over Van Wert and
Lima Central Catholic on
Jan. 28. Wins in the semifinal
round advance the Raiders to
the next tournament round today, Feb. 4 at Wayne Trace.
Lima Bath will wrestle
Wayne Trace on mat one
while on mat two Mohawk
and Carey, both from Wyandot County, will settle things.
Twenty minutes following the
opening matches the two winners will collide to determine
who will advance to the state
quarterfinals.
Last week, on the first night
of competition at Wayne
Trace, Van Wert seeded No.
9 defeated No. 8 Paulding in
the first round 47-30 allowing
the Cougars to advance and
setting up their match with the
Raiders.
Wayne Trace battled their
way past Van Wert 51-14 allowing fifth seed Lima Central
Catholic the opportunity to derail the favored Raiders. Earlier LCC stopped Allen East
52-27 to set up their date with
the red-white-and blue.
The Raiders used their
depth to capture a 40-33 win
over LCC.
We knew LCC was gonna
be a challenge, said Wayne
Trace coach George Clemens. We talked in the locker
room about things we needed to have happen, like Max
Rassman going out there at
113; I told him that for us to
succeed tonight and to squash
their game plan, youve got to
pull off a pin to get us rolling,
and he did. Then one by one,
everybody came out after that,
and it just worked out for us.
We had to use a little bit
of strategy, putting guys in
different weight classes that
theyre not normally in, add-
ed Clemens. All my guys

gave it everything they had;
just a hard working, well-disciplined team. A great job.
Ruger Goeltzenleuchter, a
126-pounder who has gone
through the season undefeated, was unable to wrestle for
the Raiders due to an injury.
Another undefeated Raider, George Clemons IV didnt
have to wrestle while picking
up two forfeits.
In the match featuring
Paulding and Van Wert, only
four matches took place with
182-pound Panther Adam Deatrick pinning his opponent at
2:24.
Wayne Trace 51, Van Wert 14
106: Marcus Rassman (WT) forfeit. (6-0); 113: Double void;

Asher (WT), 8-5 decision. (518); 285: Kaleb Cantrell (VW)
over Quinton Stabler (WT), pin at
3:19. (51-14).
Heading into the 145-pound
match, the Raiders were clinging to a 16-12 advantage. Senior Tyler Showalter of Wayne
Trace and junior Joseph Eisele
of LCC were in a showdown
with Showalter leading 159. With little time remaining,
Eisele gambled on a move that
allowed Showalter to get the
pin with only a second left in
the match.
The following match, 152,
was another on the edge
of your seat match. T-Bird
sophomore Vinny Pignataro
was in control late in the
match 8-2 over Zaine Cotterman when the senior Raider
made his move with just a
couple of ticks remaining, reversing Pignataro to trail 9-8,
then getting the pin. Unfortu-

HAVILAND OHSAAs Team Dual Wrestling Tournament

Regional Semifinals and Finals will be hosted at Wayne Trace
High School on Wednesday, Feb. 4 starting at 5 p.m.
The Raider grapplers remain alive in the bracketed style
team tournament and will be wrestling to advance forward to
the regional finals.
In the opening round, the red-white-and-blue will face off
against Lima Bath. Bath boasts a nearly full lineup and wrestles
Division II at the individual level, but is in Division III as a
team.
They have a really solid lineup and they will give us a true
battle, said Raider coach George Clemens.
Squaring off in the other semifinal is Carey against Mohawk.
Carey boasts a complete line up and Mohawk lacks only one
weight class. Both teams have wrestlers ranked in the state and
are very quality opponents.
I dont know how this one will end up, quipped Clemens.
At this level, all of the teams are top quality and have very
solid line ups.
It is not very often in Paulding County that you can travel
a short distance and see quality wrestling at the regional level.
We are fortunate that we were seeded high enough to be able to
host, and that the administration at Wayne Trace was agreeable
to that, Clemens continued.
I would hope any wrestling fan would enjoy coming to a
great venue to see top quality teams square off with the chance
to wrestle in the state team duals in Columbus at stake, stated
Clemens.
We have really been working on getting everyone improved
during the year, and with this format, its not necessarily how
your best or most talented wrestler does, but usually how one
of your underclassman or less experienced wrestler performs.
