New Christmas parade held

PAULDING Organizers of
the Paulding Chamber of Commerces Christmas parade are
very pleased with the first event.
Held the evening of Tuesday,
Dec. 1 in downtown Paulding,
the parade included 15 units,
notably Santa Claus and several lighted entries ranging from
business and organization participants to a horse drawn carriage with solo riders, the Senior Center to law enforcement
and fire department personnel.
We (committee members)
are still smiling, said Brenda
Crawford, part of the chambers
Merry & Bright committee.
We were blessed with a wonderful evening for a parade.
Parade participants traveled

prised to see the turn out and

to look down the street at
all the kids. That was awesome,
noted
Crawford.
The Oakwood Community Band performed and refreshments were served at
Herb Monroe Community
Park. New lights were unveiled on the gazebo and several trees on the courthouse
square. Santa strolled the
grounds for a meet and greet.
We were very happy with
the event and felt it was very successful, Crawford enthused.
We knew it would be small
this year, being the first year.
We want to grow it every
year, said Crawford. There
will be a follow-up meeting
next week; we are already collecting ideas for next year.
Last year, the chamber
added greenery, lights and
bows to the downtown landscape for the holidays. This
year, they expanded to the
first Christmas parade and

lights on the courthouse lawn.
The chamber has received
and will continue to receive donations to fund the new holiday
lights and parade. Crews from
Solid Ground invested about
90 man-hours to put up lights
on three trees and the gazebo.
Donations may be made
year round. To contribute,
contact the chamber office at
419-399-5215, or email pauldi ngchamber@g mail.com.
In the future, organizers hope to coordinate
with other local events.
Wed like to eventually join
forces with other community
events, pulling together to have
a one-day Christmas festival,
Crawford said in closing.
As a side note, Crawford
said the parade was filmed
from a drone by Jerry Hessel. The video may be viewed
on the Paulding Chamber of
Commerce Facebook account.
Small business
innovation center
to open next week
By JOE SHOUSE

Staff Writer
PAULDING A ribbon cutting to officially open the Small
Business Innovation Center will convene on Tuesday, Dec. 15
at 4 p.m.
Located in downtown Paulding at 103 East Perry Street, the new
Center is housed at what was formerly the Paulding County Law
Library.
The purpose of the center will be to provide office space for entrepreneurs, start-up businesses and organizations wishing to locate in Paulding County.
The interior of the building has received extensive upgrades to
include a new ceiling, LED lighting and carpeting.
We believe the carpeting was installed in 1965 and it needed replaced. Along with the updates, we have included a reception area, restrooms, four private office spaces plus a conference room and training
area, said Paulding County Economic Director, Jerry Zielke.
The Economic Director visited a similar set up in Marian, Ohio
and saw first hand the benefits it was bringing to their area. Knowing the need for office space in Paulding County, Zielke approached
county leaders about developing a center locally.
The building is currently owned by the Paulding County Commisioners and will be leased to Paulding County Economic Development, Inc., said Zielke.
Tenants for the four offices have been secured and will be moving into the new facility later this month or early January.
We are excited to be opening this center in Paulding to provide affordable office space to start-up business and organizations.
This project would not have been possible without the support of
my board of directors, the Paulding County commisioners, Nick

We had a nice, enjoyable

Thanksgiving Day. We have
so many blessings and so
much to be thankful for!
My sister Emma, Jacob and
family, sisters Verena and Susan, and daughter Elizabeth
and Timothy spent the day
with us. We set the table for
all of us. I stuffed two turkeys
with dressing. I like to lay
strips of bacon on top. Joes
dad always did this. It keeps
the turkey moist while baking
it, and the flavor of bacon adds
an extra taste to the turkey.
Also on the menu were
mashed potatoes, gravy, corn,
macaroni salad, corn chip salad, a variety of sliced cheeses
(such as Pepper Jack, Colby,
and Swiss), veggies and dip,
homemade bread, butter and
strawberry jam, dill pickles,
hot peppers, fruit dip (with
orange, apple and pineapple
slices), pumpkin roll, pumpkin pies, a variety of cookies,
and ice cream. We had way
too much food, but when everyone brings something, it all
adds up! I dont think many
were hungry for dessert. We
snacked later in the day.
Games were played, with
Connect Four and Aggravation being the main ones. We
have a game board that nephew Jacob made, and we like
playing with six people in
three teams. It can get really
excitingand
aggravating
as well! Joe and I, Mose and
Susan, and Timothy and Elizabeth played this in the evening, too. Daughters Verena
and Loretta left with friends in
the afternoon and had supper
with them.
Sons Joseph, 13, and Kevin,
10, went home with Timothy
and Elizabeth. Joseph wants
to go deer hunting with Timothy. Kevin enjoys going to
spend time with their dogs,
Crystal and Izzy.
On Friday Joe and I went
to Jacob and Emmas house.
Joe helped with mudding
drywall in the new upstairs
bedrooms. I took our leftover
food from Thanksgiving dinner and helped Emma prepare
the meal for the men working
there. Timothy and Elizabeth
dropped the boys off there
on their way to town to go
shopping. The girls stayed
home and washed clothes and
mopped the floors and cleaned
up from Thanksgiving Day.
Son Benjamin went to work
helping Mose at his sawmill.
I want to help Emma with
painting the walls when she is
ready to start on that.
Kevin was fitted for new leg
braces to help him with his
muscular dystrophy. We have
seen a lot of improvement
with the braces, although
Kevin does not look forward
to wearing them again. The
doctors suggest he keep wearing them, so we will try them
again.
Yesterday daughters Verena and Loretta and I went to
a Tupperware shower for our
neighbor girl Ruth, who was
married in October. Lunch was
served to all of us. From there
we traveled a few miles farther
to go see what bargains we
could find on material at the local Amish store that was having a sale. We found enough
material to keep us busy sewing for Christmas gifts. Time
is limited between now and
Christmas!
Ill share the corn chip salad
recipe that daughter Elizabeth
brought on Thanksgiving Day.

Commissioners Journal
Commissioners Journal November 18,
2015
This 18th day of November, 2015, the
Board of County Commissioners met in
regular session with the following members
present: Roy Klopfenstein, Tony Zartman,
Mark Holtsberry, and Nola Ginter, Clerk.
MEETING NOTES OF APPOINTMENTS
Ed Bohn, Paulding County EMA, announced that Christmas For Kids has begun.
He was stationed around the courthouse
square on Nov. 16.
Bohn also reported he will be examining
the LEPC fund to determine if any funds can
be transferred to the EMA fund. He provided
a rundown of LECP expenditures since 2012
and what is projected for 2016 and also a
quick review of what the funds may be used
for. Bohn noted the HazMat Fund (092) may
be utilized to reimburse local first responders
for supplies used for clean up of hazardous
spills. Dollars to replenish the fund are available from the state EMA when the appropriate paperwork is completed.
Brion Hanenkratt, E-911, presented a bill
from P&R Communication Services for the
upgrades on the communication system. He
reported radios are working better than they
ever have, noting there will always be weak
areas in the county.
Hanenkratt added that all three county
school systems have been contacted about
upgrading their equipment as well. Hanenkratt will be providing quotes to the schools
for radios from P&R Communication Services; however, he emphasized a different
vendor may be used if the schools so choose.
Board of Elections - Brenda Crawford, Jan
Commers, Stan Harmon, David Cline, Linda
Weidenhamer and Bob Burkley - Crawford
presented an agreement from the Secretary
of State to install wiring in the BOE building.
Cline then led the discussion with the
commissioners regarding the BOEs 2016
budget expenses worksheet. He noted that
2016 is a presidential election year and the
BOE would no doubt not be able to meet the
dollar amount the commissioners had appropriated.
Crawford reported positive results from
having used the poll pads during the November 2015 election. She also informed the
commissioners there is legislature pending
which would require another early voting
location. Crawford expressed her concern
about the added cost to their department
(should this legislature pass through) with
staffing and location expenses.
Zartman explained the process by which
the appropriations are decided. He noted
the commissioners work from the estimated
revenue provided to them from the Budget
Commission (consisting of the Prosecutor,
the Auditor, and the Treasurer). Cline noted
the BOE worked diligently in providing a
true budget.
The commissioners noted the BOEs
appropriations were increased in lieu of the
2016 presidential election year and related
added expenses. Cline further explained that
office equipment and furniture need to be up-
dated.
The commissioners attended a reorganizational meeting of the Community Corrections Act Planning Board at the County
Court Probation office. In attendance were:
Tony Zartman, Roy Klopfenstein, and
Mark Holtsberry (Commissioners); George
Clemens, Keith Turvy, Lisa Recker, Vicki
Lammerson, Angel Pease, Kim Sutton, John
DeMuth, Jay Turnbull, Jeremy Johnson and
Nola Ginter.
Judge Suzanne Rister explained the function of the board, noting they will be meeting, at a minimum, of twice a year. She noted
those in attendance were invited per statute.
Board members will serve a four-year term.
Rister noted personnel changes and introduced Jay Turnbull, probation officer; and
Jeremy Johnson, bailiff, EMHA supervisor
and SCRAM coordinator.
Johnson was asked to present the Probation Departments grant mid-year report
(July 1 through Nov. 1, 2015). He highlighted several portions of the report, noting
a total of 56 offenders were taken onto the
probation program so far for the 2015-16
grant year. Johnson also noted the Probation
Office completed 26 pre-sentence investigations, which are submitted to the Court with
a recommendation for sentencing.
The Probation Office had a total of 1,083
appointments/contacts since July 1, with a
total of 309 offenders on supervised probation. Johnson reviewed the various programs
completed by defendants and also noted
508.75 hours of community service performed by probationers, totaling $4,120.88
(minimum wage/hour) of financial savings
to various community service sites. Restitution, court costs and child support totals were
reviewed.
Johnson educated the group on the advantages of the Electronic Home Monitoring (EMHA) Program, noting seven probationers have completed the program, saving
the county $22,995 in incarceration costs.
Ten cases have used the SCRAM Unit, with
nine completing the program successfully.
Judge Rister commented several SCRAM
probationers have requested to be extended
beyond their recommended time (as self
pay), noting better accountability.
Johnson noted that most probationers
have ties to Paulding County and many have
expressed thanks for a second chance. He
also noted the good working relationship with
Paulding County Child Support Enforcement
Agency in collecting child support payments
from probationers.
Johnson briefly explained that probationers
may buy out their community service hours
if they are employed. Probationers may chose
the approved community service site and pay
minimum wage for the number of hours they
have been assigned.
Turnbull noted the excellent working relationship among the Prosecutors Office and
local law enforcement. Joe Burkard noted
Paulding Countys probation officers have a
high volume of probationers (above the state
average). Turvy, TRI-County ADAMHS
Board director, noted Paulding County has
been very proactive in developing an effective probation department. Sutton remarked

the departments services are very important
to the community.
David Cline, Sheriffs Office, presented
a report on the HVAC improvements at the
Sheriffs Office. He noted significant savings
and was appreciative of the assistance in identifying the problem.

Commissioners Journal November 23,
2015
This 23rd day of November, 2015, the
Board of County Commissioners met in
regular session with the following members
present: Roy Klopfenstein, Tony Zartman,
Mark Holtsberry, and Nola Ginter, Clerk.
MEETING NOTES OF APPOINTMENTS
Ed Bohn, Paulding County EMA, announced he attended a regional EMA directors meeting last week. He also noted
the state has approved Paulding Countys
hazmat plan.
Langham joined the meeting. Bohn explained what he learned at the meeting he
attended. He shared his knowledge about the
petroleum/crude oil and the ethanol that is
being transported by rail across the state of
Ohio, specifically through Paulding County.
He noted the crude oil is coming from the
Bakken oil field in North Dakota and the ethanol transported is used to blend in with gasoline. In a recent survey, Norfolk and Southern Railroad reported a significant increase
in transporting these two products, with 4
million gallons traveling through Paulding
County by rail on a weekly basis.
Bohn reported the Bakken oil field is
considered very productive compared to the
fields in Saudi Arabia.
He noted the residue left in the rail cars is
a concern as they travel back to the terminals
in North Dakota. Estimates are there is still
100 gallons of residue/material left in the rail
cars. First responders and fire fighters have
had to gear up planning and training to han-
dle possible derailments where volatile fuels

spillage may occur.
Six local firefighters attended a training in
Pueblo, Colorado, recently and Bohn anticipates several more will receive training in
2016. Railroads are being pro-active with
EMA directors and fire fighters, providing
insight on the handling of volatile fuel spillage.
Bohn also noted the fire response section
of Paulding Countys EMA Response Plan
will be revamped to include information
relating to crude oil and ethanol spills. He
noted it is the EMA directors responsibility
to provide training to local fire departments
and first responders.
The commissioners have fronted the funds
for a larger-sized trailer and equipment to
handle such an emergency. Bohn will apply
for grant dollars to replace the funds.
Bohn reported there is a minimum of
250 gallons of AR (alcohol resistant) Foam
available for Paulding County if needed. He
appreciates being able to attend training and
has a better understanding of what needs to
be done if a derailment involving volatile
hazardous materials. Bohn added that until
pipelines are built, rail is the primary transportation of crude and ethanol.
EXECUTIVE SESSION
A motion was made by Zartman to go
into executive session at 9:45 a.m. with the
Paulding County EMA director to discuss
personnel matters.
At 10:26 a.m. all members present agreed
to adjourn the executive session and go into
regular session.

THE CHRISTMAS TRUCE

Part 1 of 2
As Christmas approaches,
our love and best wishes go
out to our troops away from
home. We are here in the land
of the free and the home of
the brave forever grateful to
those who are serving and
have served to protect our
freedom.
One story called The
Christmas
Truce
was
brought to my attention and
I felt this story needed to be
shared.
The day was Christmas
Day, 1914, during WWI. The
French, German, and British soldiers were only five
months into the war and they
were sick of senseless killings and the battles. It was
just after dawn on a bitingly
coldChristmasDay in 1914,
and one of the most extraordinary incidents of the Great
War was about to unfold.
As the troops were hunkered down in their trenches
in sub zero weather, there
were unmistakablewords
drifting across the frozen battlefield: Stille Nacht. Heilige
Nacht. Alles Schlaft, einsam
wacht. To the ears of the
British troops peering over
their trench, the lyrics may
have been unfamiliar but the
haunting tune was unmistakable. After the last note
a lone German infantryman
appeared holding a small tree
glowing with light. Merry
Christmas. We not shoot, you
not shoot.
A Penny for
Your Thoughts
By
Nancy Whitaker
Weary men climbed hesitantly at first out of trenches
and stumbled into no mans
land. Walking over dead
corpses, they shook hands,
sang carols, lit each others
cigarettes, swapped tunic
buttons and addresses and,
most famously, played football, kicking around empty
bully-beef cans and using
their caps or steel helmets
as goalposts. It was even reported they had roasted a pig.
The unauthorized Christmas
truce spread across much of
the 500-mile Western Front
where more than a million
men were encamped.
A lot of speculation has
arose out of the Christmas
Trench story. One story is
that a barber offered to cut all
the troops hair, even the enemies. While the guards were
on duty, the young soldiers
fraternized and celebrated
Christmas, They told each

other that if they were told to
fire, to just shoot up in the air.
According to records held
by the World War One Veterans Association, there is only
one man, Alfred Anderson, in
the world still alive who spent
25 December 1914 serving in
a conflict that left 31 million
people dead, wounded or
missing.
Alfred Anderson was 18 at
the time. In an interview with
The Observer, he spoke of
his experiences on that cold
Christmas Day.He was happy, healthy and surrounded
by most of his former school
friends, who had all joined
the Territorial Army together
in 1912 and thought that they
were at the start of an exciting adventure.He had left his
home in Newtyle, Angus, in
October, taking the train from
Dundee to Southampton, then
a ferry to Le Havre.
But by the first Christmas
of the war they had already
experienced horror and the
death of young friends was
commonplace.
His unit, the 5th Battalion
The Black Watch, was one
of the first involved in trench
warfare.
Tis the season for Christmas trees, both real and artificial. Paulding County Soil and Water
Next week in Penny for your Conservation District officials have recommendations for keeping a live tree fresh.

Anderson and about a song
which came out of this Christmas Truce so many years ago.

Tips for maintaining

a live Christmas tree
Staci Miller
Education specialist
Paulding SWCD
Its officially the Christmas season and
many are starting to put up their Christmas
tree in celebration of the season. Many people chose to put up an artificial Christmas tree,
but others cherish the joy of picking out a live
Christmas tree each year.
The excitement of finding the perfect
Christmas tree to fill the house with the scent
of fresh pine gives way to it providing a beautiful backdrop for your most treasured ornaments and collectables. This wonderful live
tree will need to be maintained properly to
ensure that its makes it through the Christmas
season.
Once you get your tree home, you need to
make a fresh cut to remove about a 1/2-inch
thick disk of wood from the base of the trunk
before putting the tree in the stand. Make the
cut perpendicular to the stem axis. Dont cut
the trunk at an angle, or into a v-shape, which
makes it far more difficult to hold the tree in

ment in their next generation 9-1-1 services.
Once this is done, you need to ensure that
you have properly fitted the stand for your
tree. A traditional reservoir type stand is the
most effective way of maintaining their freshness and minimizing needle loss problems.
According to the National Christmas Tree
Association, the stand should be large enough
to hold one quart of water per inch of stem
diameter.

wood are the most efficient in taking up water

and should not be removed. Live trees have
more fire risk than artificial, so you need to
check the water level daily to ensure it doesnt
fall below the base of the tree.
Be sure to keep your tree away from major sources of heat such as fireplaces, heaters,
heat vents, and direct sunlight. It is vital to get
water to your tree as soon as possible. Live
trees can only go 6-8 hours without water before starting to lose hydration.
Drilling a hole in the base of the trunk
doesnotimprove water uptake. Also, the temperature of the water used to fill the stand is
not important and does not affect water uptake.
Once your tree is in the stand, you are ready
to decorate it. Be sure to check your lights to
make sure they are in good working order to
avoid an increase chance of fire. Be sure to
always turn off your lights on your tree when
you leave the home or go to bed at night.
Monitor the tree for freshness. After Christmas, or if the tree is very dry, remove it from
the house. A tip for easy tree removal is to
place a plastic tree bag underneath the stand
when you set the tree up. You can hide it with
a tree skirt. Then, when the holidays are done,
pull the bag up around the tree, stand and all,
and carry it outside.
Once outside, remove the stand and your
tree is ready for disposal. You should never burn any part of a Christmas tree in a
wood-burning stove or fireplace.
These were just a few helpful tips for helping you maintain your live Christmas tree
throughout this holiday season.

Panthers rally for win over rival Raiders
By KEVIN
WANNEMACHER
Sportswriter
PAULDING Paulding
appeared to be down for the
count early in the fourth quarter of its game with visiting
Wayne Trace Saturday night
at the Jungle.
However, Panther senior
Corbin Edwards had other
ideas.
Edwards scored 19 of his
22 points in the fourth quarter
and overtime in helping host
Paulding rally past the rival
Raiders 70-64 in overtime.
The Panthers also got another solid game from senior
Alex Arellano, who finished
with 26 points and 13 rebounds for the maroon-andwhite.

Paulding improves to 3-1
on the season with the victory
while Wayne Trace drops to
2-1.
Wayne Trace appeared
ready to put the game away
early in the fourth quarter when two Alec Vest free
throws gave the Raiders a 5039 advantage.
However, it was all Panthers
from that point on.
Consecutive baskets by
Ethan Rhonehouse and Jarrett Sitton was followed by a
three-pointer from Edwards
to get Paulding within 50-46
with 3:40 remaining in regulation.

After a Raider turnover, an
Edwards layup sliced the Panther deficit to 50-48.
A change in defense provoked the Paulding run as the
Panthers virtually ran two defenders at Wayne Trace junior
point guard Ethan Linder and
the change seemed to baffle
the Raiders.
I thought the change we
made in forcing Ethan to pass
the ball before he wanted was
crucial, commented Panther
head coach Shawn Brewer.
We were able to take away
his penetration and make them
adjust their offense. It gave
us a spark there and we were
able to take advantage of some
turnovers.
Following a bucket by
Wayne Traces Justin Speice,
another Edwards trey pulled
Paulding within 52-51.
The Raiders temporarily answered on a Speice basket but
the Panthers would respond.
An Arellano old fashioned
three-point play knotted the
score at 54-54 to set up the
Panther heroics in the extra
session. Arellano actually had
a chance to win it at the end
of regulation, with his 12-foot
fall away jumper coming up
just short.
Our guys never gave up,
Brewer continued. That has
been something that we have
done a good job of all year.
We have battled to the end and
they did that again tonight. I
am very proud of the effort.
The extra session belonged
to Edwards.
The senior guard scored the
first six points for the Panthers, including a basket and a
three-pointer, to give Paulding
a quick 60-56 lead.
Two Arellano foul shots
and another Edwards basket
expanded the Panther lead to
64-56 and the hosts were never threatened again.

the Raiders would get no clos-

Arellano answered with a
quick basket for Paulding to
push the margin to 68-62 as
the Panthers went on to post
the 70-64 victory.
Corbin and Alex both
stepped up for us tonight,
added the Panther head coach.
They have been our two leaders all season and they were
that again. But I thought we
had some other kids come up
with crucial plays for us.
Give Paulding credit,
noted Raider head coach Jim
Linder. They made some big
plays there in the second half
and overtime. We didnt do as
good of a job of taking care of
the basketball as we are capable of and Paulding made us
pay for that. We had opportunities tonight but just couldnt
take advantage.
Wayne Trace led 15-11 after one quarter thanks to late
baskets from Cole Shepherd
and Seth Saylor, the latter of
which resulted from an Eli
Sinn assist.
A bucket by Brady Stabler
along with a three-pointer
and basket from Ethan Linder
pushed the Raider margin
to 22-11 early in the second
quarter.
Paulding, though, got a basket by Sitton and three buckets from Arellano to bring the
deficit back to 22-19.
We were able answer their
runs, said Brewer. They
made a run there in the second quarter and we came
right back to get the game
back to three points. I thought
we got a big lift in that stretch
from a couple of our bench
players in Marcus Miller and
Cameron Doster. They came
in and gave us a spark that got
us right back in the game.
After the Raiders posted a
26-22 halftime lead, the two
teams played virtually even
in the third quarter as Wayne
Trace held a 37-34 advantage
going to the fourth.
Linder paced the Raiders
with 24 points and five rebounds. Alec Vest had 14
points while Luke Miller
Lincolnview grabs last second

win away from Lady Panthers
By JIM LANGHAM
Sportswriter
PAULDING With three
seconds left on the clock,
Lincolnviews Alena Looser
calmly sank two free throws
to lift her Lancers to a thrilling 38-37 win over Paulding
at Lincolnview last Thursday
night.
The final 1:37 was a mad
scramble that was anybodys
game. At that point, Paulding,
which led most of the game,
was still clinging to a 35-32
advantage, but the Lancers
Maddie Gorman cut the Panther lead to two points by connecting on one of two shots
from the free throw line.
A minute later, with Paulding barely hanging on, 35-33,
Looser unleashed a high-arching three-point tally from
the far right wing to give the
Lancers a 36-35 advantage.
However, 30 seconds later,
with, 7.4 seconds remaining,

Allison Arend initiated an inbound pass to Faith Vogel,
who quickly snatched the ball,
drove down the baseline and
banked a shot to temporarily
put Paulding back in the lead,
37-36.
Lincolnview then threw the
ball the length of the court,
there was a mad scramble,
Paulding secured the ball but
Looser grabbed it and was
fouled with three seconds remaining.
Paulding head coach Mark
Rhodes expressed disappointment in the games ending
and in the teams overall performance, in spite of the fact
that Paulding led most of the
game.
We had the game in our
hands, said Rhodes, whose
Panthers dropped to 0-3 with
the loss. We have to learn
how to win. We can do the xs
and os and all of that stuff in

practice, but the bottom line is
that they have to learn how to
win. You can lead the whole
game but you still have to be
leading when the game is over.
This was really a tough
loss, continued Rhodes. In
some ways, we played some
better, but not as well as we
did the second half against
Hicksville. We did play better than we did the first two
games.
Paulding led by as much as
26-19 early in the third stanza
but the Lancers trimmed that
lead to 30-27 going into the
last quarter. In the final eight
minutes, Paulding drew first
blood when Arend dropped in
a free throw, but Lincolnview
quickly tied the game and
neither team could pull away
more than one point for the
rest of the game.
Looser led the Lancers with
Integrity Ford
11 points while Faith Vogel

once again led all scorers with
19 points.
We can open the door for
the players but they have to
walk through the door themselves in order to get there,
said Rhodes. We had too
many unforced turnovers. It
seems like we cant quite get
there, yet.

EDON The Antwerp
Lady Archers improved to
2-0 on the young season but it
wasnt easy. On the road last
Tuesday, the Archers ran into
a very stubborn Edon Bomber
team that was 0-3 and ready
to prove themselves worthy of a win. In a low scoring affair Antwerp claimed
a 32-30 non conference win.
The play throughout the
game was marred by 52
turnovers with the Bombers committing 28 and the
Archers totaling 24 but the
final minute of play was fast
and furious and came down
to a miss by Edon senior
Breanna Davis that fell off
the rim as the horn sounded.
This is what I call a muddy
game. With all the turnovers
there was no flow to the game

BRYAN Wayne Trace forced Bryan into
28 turnovers and the Raiders cruised to a 7352 win over the Golden Bears last Tuesday
night in non-league girls basketball action in
Williams County.
The Raiders forced 28 Golden Bear turnovers and recorded 22 steals overall in improving to 2-0 on the season. Bryan drops to
0-2 this year.
Wayne Trace led by as much as 12 points in
the opening quarter before settling on an 1810 advantage after one period.
Bryan did close within 22-16 on a basket
by Alyssa Schindledecker but the Raiders responded with a 10-0 run to take control.
We were able to answer their runs tonight,
commented Raider head coach Bethany
Hughes. I thought our pressure was effective
in that we were able to generate easy scoring
opportunities.
The Raiders went on to lead 38-18 at the intermission.
After Bryan trimmed the deficit to 43-24
early in the third quarter, Wayne Trace got a
pair of Mohr baskets and a bucket from Courtney Mead to push the margin to 49-24.
Once we settled down a little bit, we played
pretty well overall, Hughes continued. Gracie did a nice job for us and Courtney gave us
quality minutes again tonight. Estie did a good
job on the boards. It was a total team effort.
Bryan made one final run in the fourth quar-
with 13.1 seconds remaining.

Rachel Williamson led
the Archer scoring with 12
followed by eight markers
from Recker. Avery Braaten
came off the bench the spark
the Archer effort with seven including all five Archer
points in the third quarter.
We had trouble with our
high-low game tonight. But
give Edon credit, they made
it hard for us. We didnt
play very well but we got
the win, said McMichael.

With Wayne Trace on top 61-39, the Golden
Bears put together an 11-2 spurt that got Bryan within 63-50 after a bucket by Golden Bear
freshman Baylee Krupp.
The Raiders responded with eight straight
points, though, to extend the lead to 69-50 and
went on to post the 73-52 victory.
We had to adjust tonight due to foul trouble
but I thought the girls did a good job, concluded Hughes. Our freshman came in and played
well for us and we got good minutes off of the
bench.
Erin Mohr scored 28 points and added ten
steals and eight rebounds to lead Wayne Trace.
Gudakunst added 12 points, nine assists and
six steals for Wayne Trace while Mead also
chipped in 12 points while picking up five

FORT JENNINGS It was
back on the road for the Antwerp Archers with their third
consecutive game away from
the friendly confines of Archer
court. After dropping their first
two games, Antwerp jumped
out to a big lead against Ft.
Jennings and then held on
down the stretch to win a hard
fought non conference match
up 44-40.
T h e
Musketeers held their only
lead at 2-0 before the Archers delivered a 15-2 run to
lead 15-4 early in the second
period. A Sam Williamson
three-pointer, a two-pointer and two free throws along
with a bucket by senior teammate Josh Longardner had the
Archers in control 21-6 with

we are capable, said Antwerp

head coach Scott McMichael.
Following a bucket by
Kaitlyn Sonneberger with
1:44 to pull the Bombers to
within one 29-28, the Archers held the ball until Peyton Short was fouled with
37 seconds remaining. Short
connected on one of two to
move the score to 30-28.
The Bombers managed to
escape an Archer corner trap
that had the ball fall in the
hands of Hannah Kaylor who
was all alone at the Bombers
end of the court and quickly
put the ball off glass for a
basket and tied score 30-30.
In the closing seconds Antwerp was determined to get
the ball inside for a basket or
a foul. Kiana Recker received
the ball with the Edon defense packed in the paint and
the senior responded with the
winning close range bucket

lf.

Ft. Jennings responded with a
six point spurt to close out the
half and managed to steal the
momentum at the half trailing
21-12.
The Musketeers pulled to
within four in the early stages
of the third stanza but Brandon Pendergrast connected
in the paint and Dylan Peters drained a long range
three-pointer to keep the blueand-white on top by nine at
28-19.

Coming off the bench, senior Aaron Neidert connected
from outside the arc to open
the fourth quarter to keep the
orange-and-black close at 3024. A Josh Poulson two-pointer continued to keep the Archers close to its double-digit
margin mid way through the
final period.
We had the big lead and
they made a serious run at us.
Coach (Keith) Utendorf had
his team ready to play and I
thought they played extremely hard in the second half.
But give our guys credit. We
didnt panic and we executed
our game plan, head coach
TJ Hammer commented.
In the closing minutes
Coach Hammer slowed the
pace down offensively and
with the ball in the hands of
Williamson, the senior leader responded at the foul line.
Williamson canned all six of
his throws in the final 90 seconds to finish with 9-10 for
the night to lead all scorers
with 18.
Sam (Williamson) had a
very good floor game. We
were in foul trouble early
and he had to be the leader
and take control and he did a
very good job. I havent seen
the stats but he probably led
us in scoring, assists, and rebounds, said Coach Hammer.
With the Archers leading by
five 42-37 with 20.6 seconds
remaining, Alex Berelsman
kept the Musketeers alive with
a trey and the home team trailing by just two. The deal was
sealed for the Archers when
Williamson was perfect at the
line with 7.2 seconds remaining with two free throws.
I cant say enough about
our bench. We got in foul trouble and Dylan (Peters) Josh
(Poulson) and Erik (Buchan)
played a ton of minutes and
did a good job for us. Josh and
Brandon (Pendergrast) will
probably always play against
opponents bigger than them
but they play hard and give effort and I wouldnt want it any
other way, Hammer said.

60-46
ANTWERP The senior lad-
en team from Fayette used a

combination of size and experience to handle the Antwerp
Archers last Saturday 60-46.
The Eagles placed three senior starters in double figures
led by 6-4 Jerad Seiler with
18 markers. Joel Smith added
15 for the winners while teammate Alec Bost drained 12
points including three goals
from behind the arc.
The Eagles doubled up the
score on the Archers in the
first quarter 12-6 after the
blue-and-white had a couple
of brief leads in the opening
period. The Archers would not
lead again throughout the contest.
In the second period Fayette
built their margin to as many
as 12 but a half-court buzzer
beater from Antwerps Matt
Jones had the Archers back in
it trailing 25-18.
In the first half the Eagles
scoring came from the three
point shot. The visitors hitting four in the first quarter
and three more in the second
frame for 21 of their 25 points.
That was not what we
were expecting. We have seen
them play and the three point

shot was not their strong area
of play. We tried to eliminate
their inside play with their big
guys (Tristen Bates (6-8)
and Jerad Seller (6-4) and
did a decent job in the first half
but their outside shooting was
something else in the early going, said Antwerp head coach
TJ Hammer.
The third quarter saw the
Eagles build their seven point
advantage to as many as 15.
The Archers chipped away at
the Eagles lead but a Smith
trey as the buzzer sounded
kept the visitors from up north
in control.
The fourth frame had
Matt Jones connecting on a
three-pointer to pull the Archers to within 12 at 43-31 but
the blue-and-white would get
no closer. Fayettes led would
grow to as many as 17 before
settling for the 14 point win to
stay undefeated at 4-0.
They (Fayette) are a
very good team that is well
win a lot of games this year,

said Coach Hammer.
For the Archers, Josh Longardner led the way with 15
points followed by the 14
points from Matt Jones.
I thought Josh played one
of his better games. Josh is just
6-1 and he did well against
some of their height. He hung
in their and didnt back down
against their bigs, Hammer
said.
The Archers are off until
Saturday when they travel to
Continental.

ANTWERP An experienced Fayette girls basketball

team used that experience plus
their size to out play the Antwerp Lady Archers on Saturday.
The Eagles started five seniors
with three hitting double digits
and easily coasted past the blueand-white by twenty 53-33.

The Eagles started a 6-1
center in Alexis Fruchey, 59 forward Taylor Griffiths and
5-7 playmaker Kaela Seiler
who burned the Archers with
16 points. Griffiths collected
16 points while Fruchey added
10 to lead Fayette.
Fayette took an early lead
and settled in for a nine point
advantage 15-6 at the end
of the first stop. Both teams
opened the second period exchanging three point baskets
with senior Hannah Machacek
connecting followed by a Rachel Williamson trey. With the
Eagles in front 18-9 they continued to increase their margin
with a 13-0 run to 31-9. The
quarter ended with buckets
from Kiana Recker and Sierra
Cline sandwiched around an
Eagle hoop from Seiler.
We played a quality opponent today and I think we
Photo courtesy of West Bend News were a little intimidated by
Antwerps Dylan Peters is met by Fayette defender Jerad their size. We had too many

lost to the Eagles 60-46 and will next play on Saturday when they add cold shooting to the mix
and you are going to be in for
travel to Continental
a long game, said Antwerp

Head Coach Scott McMichael.
The 23 point half time lead
for Fayette ballooned to 28 in
the third quarter. The period
closed out with the Eagles in
control 48-20.
With the game winner settled
in the early going the Archers
played its best in the final eight
minutes. Outscoring the Eagles
13-5 Coach McMichael felt his
team managed to move the ball
quicker in the closing minutes.
We played better in the
fourth. We moved the ball
quicker and that opened up
some shots for us, he said.
In the final quarter the Lady
Archers added seven free throws
to their score with Audrie Longardner perfect with two along
with Recker adding two. Avery Braaten canned three from
the line along with a field goal.
Williamson and Cline each registered a field goal in the closing
quarter to closeout the Archer
scoring.
Recker was in double digits
to lead the Archers scoring with
Williamson adding eight and
Braaten chipping in seven.

Second half let

down costly for
Lady Archers
ANTWERP The Antwerp

Lady Archers came out strong
in their quest for their third
win in a row but a second half
offensive struggle opened the

door for visiting Kalida.
With the blue-and-white
scoring just nine second half
points the Wildcats managed
to run away from the Archers
for a 39-25 non conference
win last Thursday.
It was all Archers in the
opening quarter with Hope
Smith and Peyton Short hitting from short range for a
quick 4-0 start. The Archers
increased their advantage to
10-2 on buckets from Rachel
Williamson, Kiana Recker
and Short. Kalida answered
with the final five points of the
period to trail 10-7.
Kalida took their first lead
at the 5:44 mark of the second
period on a basket by senior
Kylie Osterhage. The Archers
would lead briefly 13-12 on
a Williamson rebound basket off a Recker missed free
throw. It would be the last Archer lead of the contest.
Antwerp trailed 18-16 at
intermission and then knotted the score to start the third
period on a Smith basket. The
quarter closed out with Kalida
on top 27-21. The final eight
minutes had the visitors outscoring the Archers 12-4 to
secure the win.
I thought we played with
effort and good energy but we
really struggled in the second
half, said Antwerp head coach
Scott McMichael. We had
open shots but we just couldnt
knock them down. Kalida is a
good team and this game was
a good measuring stick to see
where we are on the season.

Over 22,000 harvested on deer season opening

weekly updated harvest reports can
be found at wildohio.gov/deerharvest.
The ODNR Division of Wildlife remains
committed to properly managing Ohios
deer populations through a combination of
regulatory and programmatic changes. The
goal of Ohios Deer Management Program is
to provide a deer population that maximizes
recreational opportunities, while minimizing conflicts with landowners and motorists.
Until recently, deer populations in nearly
all of Ohios counties were well above goal.
In the last few years, through increased antlerless harvests, most counties are now at or
near goal. Therefore, to help stabilize deer
populations, bag limits were reduced, and
antlerless permit use has been eliminated
in most counties for the 2015-2016 season.
The ODNR Division of Wildlife is in
the process of resetting Ohios population
goals and is asking hunters that receive
the survey to help by completing and re-
turning the survey as soon as they are

done hunting or at the end of the season.
Landowner surveys have already been
distributed, and hunter surveys should arrive in the mail later this week. Hunters for
this years survey were randomly selected
from the list of hunters who purchased
a license and deer permit by Nov. 16.
Public input is an important part of
Ohios deer management program,
and survey participants are asked to
complete and return their surveys.
Ohio ranks fifth nationally in resident hunters and 11th in the number
of jobs associated with hunting-related industries. Hunting has a more than
$853 million economic impact in Ohio
through the sale of equipment, fuel,
food, lodging and more, according to
the National Shooting Sports Foundations Hunting in America: An Economic Force for Conservation publication.

Varsity Basketball: Paulding Panthers

Varsity boys
Paulding tagged
with first loss at
Defiance
DEFIANCE The Paulding
Panthers ran into an aggressive pack of bulldogs in Defiance on Friday night and came
away with their first loss of the
season, 48-29. Paulding head
coach Shawn Brewer credited
Defiances quick start and tenacious defense for his teams
struggles.
Defiance still carries over
several successful players
from last years state championship team.
Early on, Defiance rolled
out to a 12-0 advantage that
put Paulding in a hole it
couldnt dig out of. Going
into the second stanza, Defiance carried a 14-4 advantage.
The Bulldogs continued their
swarming ways by outscoring
the Panthers, 13-7, to gain a
27-11 advantage at the halfway point.
Paulding settled in much
more effectively the second
half, losing out to Defiance,
21-18, but the early game onslaught of the Bulldogs was
too much to handle.
One of the biggest achievements of the Bulldogs was
holding Pauldings aggressive
Alex Arellano, who came into
the game with a 23 point per
game average in the first two
contests, to just eight points,
including two points in the

first half. Defiances Kam Singleton ended with the gamehigh tally of 16 points.
Defiances defense forced
the Panthers into 26 turnovers
while the Bulldogs cleaned up
their offensive attack to just
nine turnovers for the outing.
Brewers main concern was
that many of the Paulding
turnovers were unforced. He
noted thatFridays game revealed the need to spread out
offensive involvement from
the perimeter to other team
members.

Company-wide Pay It Forward event
Financial entities donate over $15,000

DEFIANCE First Federal Bank and
First Insurance Group know what it means to
pay it forward. The community bank and
agency have donated more than $15,000 in a
company-wide Pay it Forward event that included over 550 random acts of kindness and
eight donations to nonprofit organizations in
their footprint totaling $10,000.
It has been exciting to see the positive impact our employees have been able to make
in our communities, said Donald Hileman,
president and CEO of First Defiance. Pay it
Forward events get our employees out into
the communities to live our mission of serving and supporting the places where we live
and work.
On Nov. 19, every employee received ten
dollars to Pay it Forward. They did random

acts of kindness in their communities such as
delivering a gift basket to a patient receiving
chemotherapy treatment, treated local police
and fire departments to lunch and paid for a
strangers utility bill.
In return, First Federal Bank and First Insurance Group asked community members
to go online and vote who the company
should Pay it Forward to next. Out of eight
selected non-profit organizations, voters
chose Ovarian Cancer Connection to receive
a $2,500 donation.
A total of $10,000 was given away to all
eight non-profit organizations. The Boys
and Girls Club of Lenawee County received
a $1,500 donation and Equestrian Therapy
Program, Habitat for Humanity of Lenawee

County, Junior Achievement of Northwestern Ohio, Hospice of Northwest Ohio, Habitat for Humanity of Wood County and Hope
House of Findlay each received a $1,000 donation.
Each organization will use the donation
to help fulfil their missions: Ovarian Cancer
Connections will use the $2,500 to help provide financial assistance for survivors who
are in need of assistance.
First Federal Bank and First Insurance
Group will continue to Pay it Forward and
encourage others to take the opportunity to make someones day a little brighter.
Through even the smallest acts of kindness,
well make our community - better together.

Ag Credit The truth about airplants

announces
AgStart
In the
Garden
program
FOSTORIA Ag Credit,
ACA, one of northern Ohios
largest lenders, is proud to
announce the availability of a
new loan program based upon
the recommendation of team
members working directly
with many young, beginning
and small farmers.
The program, known as
AgStart, features lower costs,
extended terms, reduced down
payments and assistance with
loan fees. The objective of the
program is to make a concentrated and cooperative effort to
provide sound and constructive credit to young, beginning
and small farmers.
Its vision is to help young,
beginning and small farmers,
as well as women, minorities
and veterans engaged in farming and agriculture obtain financing so they may achieve
and realize their goals and
dreams.
AgStart features three specific opportunity to succeed
loan programs for young, beginning or small farmers:
AgGrow loans designed
to help finance a first- or second-time purchase of farmland
or first or second contract livestock production building purchase.
AgGrow loans designed
for the purchase of farmland to
continue or expand the family
farm legacy and/or a long-term
investment in agriculture.
AgNiche loans for non-traditional farming operations.
All farmers face a significant number of challenges.
However, young, beginning
and small farmers face even
greater challenges lack of
production experience, low
capital position or limited
credit history, said Brian
Ricker, Ag Credit president
and chief executive officer.
We designed the AgStart program to help young, beginning
and small farmers become involved, to grow or remain in
farming as well as to help facilitate the transfer of the farming operation from one generation to the next.
The mission of the cooperatives AgStart program is
to provide stable credit and
leadership resources to nurture
young, beginning and small
farmers, as well as women, minorities and veterans engaged
in farming and agriculture,
for their long-term success,
as well as working to engage,
educate and support these specific groups. Ag Credit focuses on building, nurturing and
maintaining lifetime relationships for all customers success.
A young farmer is defined as
an individual 35 years of age
or younger when applying for
a loan. A beginning farmer is
defined as someone with 10
years or less experience in production agriculture when applying for a loan. If an individual earned less than $250,000
in gross farm or agricultural
receipts during the previous
year, he or she would be considered a small farmer when
submitting a loan application.

net) or contact one of Ag Credits branches (http://agcredit.
net/contact-us/our-locations/
tier3-(3).aspx) to schedule an

Ag Credit is a member of
the Farm Credit System, created in 1916, to provide a reliable source of credit for the
nations farmers and ranchers.
Ag Credit shares profits with
its borrowers and is dedicated
to serving the financial needs
of farmers, agribusiness, rural
homeowners and rural communities in its 18-county territory.
When I was writing my

book, Indoor Plant Dcor:
The Design Stylebook for
Houseplants a few years ago,
I talked with a LOT of people
about houseplants. I wanted to
know their feelings about them,
whether they grew them, what
their favorites were, and if they
didnt grow them, why not?
Well, I got an earful. Peoples attitudes ran the entire spectrum from meh to
YEAH! and I knew that the
ones who loved them would
probably enjoy the book. Those
that had a laissez-faire attitude
likely wouldnt give it a second
look, but that would have been
unfortunate.
The book isnt so much
about actually growing houseplants as it is treating them as
a design element in your home.
Sure, you need to know a little
bit about how to take care of
them and theres basic information about that included, but
its not the focus of the book.
I found out that what a lot
of homeowners want in the
way of houseplants, no matter
which side of the issue theyre
on, are plants that dont require
fussing over. Even many of the
die-hard gardeners in the bunch
didnt want to share their indoor living space with plants
that seemed to require as much
By
Kylee Baumle
care as some of the people they
live with.
When we got down to discussing specific plants, the ones
most mentioned were air plants.
Tillandsia is the botanical name
for them and besides being
called air plants, youll often
hear them referred to as tillies.
Tillandsias are the number
one plant that comes to mind
when you think of no care
plants. Yes, theyre known as
air plants, but are they really
that easy? In a word, no. No
plant is truly no care. But they
dont require much, including
soil, which is how they got
their common name.
Most tillandsias are epiphytes, meaning they grow

without soil, attached to another plant, most often a tree.

(Did you know that Spanish
moss is a type of Tillandsia?)
They make up the largest part
of the Bromeliaceae family,
although not all bromeliads are
epiphytic.
Tillandsias get their nutrients
from the atmosphere around
them, which includes rain and
particles of organic matter.
Native to Central and South
America and the far southern
US, a small number of species
have no roots at all and grow in
the desert atop sand.
If you decide to bring an air

to give it a thorough soaking a
couple of times a week, as simply misting it will not keep it

the roots in water, as this will
cause the plant to rot and die.
Keep it in a sunny window in
the winter and about three feet
away from direct sunlight in
summer. Experts recommend
adding fertilizer to the soak
water at least once a month to
encourage the plant to bloom
and produce offsets, which can
later be separated and grown
as plants on their own. Some
Tillandsia blooms are beautiful
neon shades of pink and purple.
I have to insert a disclaimer
here, because for as many times
From Indoor Plant Dcor: The Design Stylebook for Houseplants
The wonderful thing about air plants (Tillandsia spp.) is that they
can be used just about anywhere theres bright light, and pretty
much anything can be used as a container since they dont need soil.
as Ive bought or been gifted
with tillandsias, Ive killed all
but about two of them. And the
two that are still alive happen
to be in my greenhouse, where
the humidity tends to run high
because of all the rest of their
housemates.
That doesnt mean that tillandsias are difficult, because
they arent. It just means that
some of us have better luck

with them than others. I may
not do well with air plants, but I
can get my orchids to rebloom.
