PAULDING — Lilly
Dearing, age 4, of Paulding,
was diagnosed with an
Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (in-
operable brain tumor) in
January. Lilly, the daughter of
Mandy Briner and Todd
Dearing, is a beautiful little
girl who is fighting to survive
this devastating disease.
Fundraisers were held for
Lilly to travel to the famed
Burzynski Clinic in Houston,
Texas. The family decided to
try a different type of treat-
ment with a doctor who has
had great success with this
type of tumor.
Lilly, Mandy and Todd ar-
rived in Texas and following
the approval of the FDA and
an MRI, she received her first
treatment on Feb. 14.
Lilly’s grandmother,
Tammy Saul, has kept the
community updated during
this difficult time. We started
her diary in last week’s
Progress.Tammy writes: “Today will
be Lilly’s fourth treatment.
The doctor read her MRI yes-
terday and said that at some
point Lilly has had a tiny hem-
orrhage in her brain. He also
said that the oldest part of the
tumor has begun to calcify.
“What do these things
mean? I don’t know. Mandy
didn’t ask. They are so tired
they don’t know what to ask
anymore. The good news is
the darn thing has not grown
any larger since the Jan. 18
MRI.
“I talked to Mandy nearly
an hour last night. They will
increase the dose of meds a
little each time as not to shock
the system. When they are at
full strength the meds look
like Mountain Dew.
“They also got scammed by
a cab driver. This jerk pretend-
ed to be lost and charged them
$70 for a six-mile trip to the
house. It’s the oldest trick in
the book and it’s a good thing
Granny wasn’t along.
“I cannot help but fall apart
now and then. This still all
seems like a bad dream I can
not wake myself from. I cried
so much that first week, I had
no more tears.

PAULDING – It is good
news to hear that the First
Lady is taking the initiative to
plant a garden at the White
House, but it is equally excit-
ing to hear that several com-
munities in Paulding County
are planting community gar-
dens.
They will be about the
same size as the one at the
White House, but in various
locations around Paulding
County. The community gar-
dens began last year when
Tim Collardey from Flint,
Mich., visited Nothing But
Nature Organic Farms in Fort
Brown. Collardey proposed
and went to work on a “victo-
ry garden” next to Kircher’s
Flowers in Defiance.
Some people may remem-
ber when Eleanor Roosevelt
planted a victory garden at the
White House during World
War II.
The garden in Defiance
was a huge success and pro-
duced so much, that some of
the produce had to be given to
local food pantries and sold at
the local farmer’s market.
This year, the Sherrys of
Nothing But Nature have un-
dertaken the project of setting
up community gardens in
Paulding, Oakwood, Grover
Hill and Melrose. The com-
munity gardens will consist of
two or more raised beds about
100 feet long with nice walk-
ways between the beds.
Phil described the process,
noting that he will come in
with the right equipment and
subsoil the proposed plot. The
subsoil process consists of a
piece of equipment behind a
tractor that runs a shovel
about two feet down, break-
ing the subsoil for better plant
root penetration. Then the
area is tilled, complete with
several loads of compost.
This is followed by making
four-foot-wide raised beds for
planting. Each plot will be
slightly different due to the
size and location of the vil-
lage lot.
The Sherrys are donating
their time and effort to get
the beds ready, providing
seeds, plants and expertise as
needed.

Paulding will be north of the

PAULDING – The Leadership In
Action Class of 2010-11, which is
comprised of business professionals
and youth leaders in the Paulding
area, is currently seeking donations
for their community project.
Currently sponsored by the
Paulding Chamber of Commerce, the
LIA class was assigned the project of
designing and completing a mural on
a downtown building. The project is a
community investment, will beautify
a building and also the downtown
area.
The site chosen was The Marshall
Memorial Foundation building,
which is located at Perry and
Williams streets. Chosen to paint the
mural is local artist Sandy
Dobbelaere.
When the mural will be completed
will depend on the weather.
LIA participant and project co-
chairman Alicia Helle said,
“According to Sandy, this project
could be completed in a three- to five-
day span, with the detail the design
has and weather conditions. She
would need a few days at 50 to 60 de-
grees and no precipitation.”
Dobbelaere painted the mural on
the Landing Strip in Oakwood, which
has lasted around 20 years without
any repair.
Her daughter, Kinsey Dobbelaere,
will be assisting her with painting the
project. The duo has completed many
murals together and separately, in-
cluding painting the main road in
Oakwood for Oakwood Homecoming
every year on Labor Day weekend,
murals for Paulding Schools, and a
wonderful, detailed mural in Gary and
Cheri Cooper’s home in Oakwood.
Other LIA participants working on
the project are project co-chairman
Melanie Rittenour, Gretchen
Noneman, Cindy Koenig, Rachelle
Farley, Maria Rellinger and high
school students Kelly Zartman, April
Manz, Rachel Banks and Taylor Vail.

stormed by the LIA group, and the

will be starting plants and
composting at the school
greenhouse.
The community garden in
Oakwood will also be on the
north side of the school with
composting being located on
Third Street behind the home
of Pat Kelly, who will be
leading the efforts at
Oakwood.
The Grover Hill communi-
ty garden will be located
where the old Goddard
Building stood with compost-
ing in the back of the lot.
The Melrose community
garden will be located east of
the Melrose United Methodist
Church with composting at
the end of the garden.
There are no hard and fast
rules about who can plant,
care for and harvest crops in
and from the community gar-
den. The hope is that this will
build the community as vari-
ous people from each com-
munity become active in
planting, caring for and har-
vesting crops from the gar-
den. The excess can go to the
local food pantries to help
feed those in need.
The plans are to plant three
crops in the gardens. The first
early spring crop will consist
of peas, radishes, lettuce,
beets, turnips, cilantro, arugu-
la, kale and some Asian
greens. The second or sum-
mer crop will consist of toma-
toes, pole beans, green beans,
cucumbers, squash, cabbage
and maybe some corn. The
last crop in the fall will again
consist of some of the spring
or cool-weather crops.
The seeds are being donat-
ed by an organization called
Seed Savers Exchange and
through some generous dona-
tions being made by national
seed companies. The plants
are being started in the
Paulding FFA greenhouse,
Nothing But Nature green-
house, Kircher’s Flowers
greenhouse and Bill Sherry’s
greenhouse.
If you would like to be a
part of this community gar-
den venture, feel free to con-
tact Phil or Diane Sherry at
Nothing But Nature at 419-
594-2438. There is no cost in-
volved other than some hon-
est hard work and pleasure as-
sociated with gardening.

PAULDING – The Paulding
Exempted Village Schools Board of
Education was further updated on
the proposed plan for the district to
run single bus routes next school
year.
If approved, this would mean that
all district schools would be on the
same schedule of 8 a.m. until 3 p.m.
so that the district may be able to
save money on transportation costs.
Superintendent Pat Ross reported
that later this month, a representa-
tive of the Ohio Department of
Education Transportation
Department will visit the school to
review the proposal.
“That person will look at our data
and spend time at the school exam-
ining the financial impact of chang-
ing from the double to single
routes,” said Ross. “With this assis-
tance, we hope to now make a deci-
sion by March.”
The final decision will be made
by the school’s administration, but
the board will be fully consulted and
informed.
The board decided to proceed
with development of a policy on
random drug tests for all students in
extracurricular activities.
“A representative from Great
Lakes Bio-Medical Services will
meet with the board at the March
meeting,” said Ross. “The goal is to
start the program next fall, so all of
the details have to be worked out yet
this school year.”
Those details include such issues
as when tests would be conducted,
how many students to test and what
substances to test for.
Ross reported to the board that the
Paulding Eagles donated $1,415 to
purchase an iPad and iPod Touches
for the high school and middle
school autism unit. Presently there
are four students in that unit and
there are similar units in the elemen-
tary schools.
The board approved issuing of
Energy Conservation Notes in the
amount not exceeding $587,206 for
purchasing and installing energy
conservation measures, as author-
ized by House Bill 264.
“This will allow us to put in place
changes for energy saving and the
improvements will pay for the in-
vestment,” explained Ross.
Improvements will include up-
grading the air handling units on the
high school that will improve cool-
ing and heating and installing high
efficiency lights.
Of the amount authorized by the
board Ross explained that $187,206
will come from the district’s capital
improvement fund. Thus only
$400,000 will need to be borrowed
from a commercial source for a five-
year period.
The board approved the resigna-
tion of two long-term employees for
the purpose of retirement. William
Wonders, middle school physical
education, and A. Jane Gudakunst,
high school teacher’s aide, will re-
tire at the end of the current school
year. Wonders has worked for the
district for over 35 years and
Gudakunst for 25 years.
“Both of these individuals have
been excellent employees for the
district,” said Ross. “They have
touched a lot of lives over the years
by being involved with so many
children.”
In other personnel actions, the
board approved Kyle Mawer and
John Weisenburger as volunteer as-
sistant baseball coaches and Bill
Voirol as volunteer assistant softball
coach.
The next regular monthly board
meeting will take place at 7 p.m. on
Monday, March 14.
more active.
“Upon looking further,
some of the other elements
we felt was a good fit for our
choice is the condition of the
building (the concrete sur-
face), the lack of obstructions
such as windows and pipes,
and the fund-raising effort
that we feel this building
would help bring.”
When the LIA members
considered what scenes to put
on the mural, they remem-
bered the core purposes of the
Marshall Memorial
Foundation and the history of
Paulding County. The four
mural scenes to be painted
will depict farming images
and represent historical views
on the canals, Fort Brown, the
Black Swamp, and the Flat
Rock Creek Festival/fair-
grounds, which are the per-
fect examples of the county’s
history.
The Leadership In Action
team wanted the design to re-
flect the community as well.
Their ideas were presented to
Sandy Dobbelaere, who cre-
ated the perfect design that
the group had envisioned.
Prior to painting the mural,
some repairs are needed on
the exterior wall by the
Marshall Memorial
Foundation.
Helle noted, “They are cur-
rently working on setting up
that project and the timing to
work with our time frame.”
A base primer will be ap-
plied. For the main portions
of the mural, house paint will
be used, with the exceptions
of the small details that will
require a more specific type
of paint. The entire mural will
then be coated with a sealant.
“As a group, we have
greatly enjoyed our time to-
gether working on this proj-
ect. We have really come to-
gether to work as a team and
it has been a great opportuni-
ty to work with other business
professionals throughout the
community. We have gotten
to know one another and
formed ties and connections
that will stick with us after
our program is complete,”
Helle added. “Watching the
progress and how the project
and team has come together
has been the most rewarding
and enjoyable experience so
far.”
For a mural this size, Sandy
Dobbelaere gave a “ballpark”
cost estimate without know-
ing the final detail of the de-
sign. The price will range
from $3,000 to $4,000. The
money will come from dona-
tions and/or funds and grants.
LIA has raised close to half of
the cost of the project and is
still seeking donations. They
all feel that the community ef-
fort so far has been great.
Donations may be sent to:
Arend, Laukhuf & Stoller
Inc.; Attn: Rachelle Farley,
LIA Project; P.O. Box 249;
Paulding OH 45879.
Helle commented, “We
have hopes that this project
can be completed before our
(LIA) graduation on May 18,
weather permitting. Sandy
Dobbelaere is a very talented
artist with an exceptional re-
sume.”

That’s when you try to accept
what may happen and you are
reasonable for a time. I slept
all of two hours. That ‘tiny

me and that calcified part of
the tumor.
“Will that have weight
now? Will it pull loose by its
own weight, maybe cause a
bleed in her brain? Oh, the an-
guish of not knowing and
even knowing can be horrible,

treatment today. She got to go
to a huge mall and ride the
merry-go round. She got some
spring dresses and she had
fun.
“Mandy said she can see
that Lilly is feeling better and
acting more like herself. She
still does not walk, but tries.
Mandy also commented that
her speech sounds better. If
my bones weren’t bad, I
would do a cartwheel.”
UPDATE: “Friday was an-
other treatment day. Lilly
seemed in a good mood. I
spoke to them around 2 p.m.
our time and they were at the
clinic, so I didn’t talk very
long.
“Mandy told me that they
treated Lilly to a fancy meal at
a real nice restaurant. Lilly
had ‘shrimpies.’ It was her last
normal meal, because now
they are cracking down. Lilly
is getting put on a very re-
stricted diet. This means no
processed meats, no salt and
only natural foods. She can
have no sugar and no sweets.
“Her doctor said junk food
and unnatural things help feed
the tumor. Mandy and Todd
will have to go to a health
food store to buy the food, and
this is where the nutritional
care treatment comes in. This
will be another big expense as
we know it is not cheap to eat
right.

A Special Thanks to My WifeI would like to take this opportunity to thank my wife, EliaPatricia Garcia De La Garza Sanderson for all the lovingsupport which she has shown to my mom, Esther FlorenceSanderson, who passed away on January 23rd of this year.When I look back, I must say that Elia was an advocate formy mom even when it was not a popular position witheveryone. She (and I) was instrumental in arranging formeals on wheels for mom, weekly phone calls to momwhen mom was at home, frequent visits to the nursinghome, and advocating for mom’s personal hygiene care. Inaddition to this, Elia (and I) arranged for a nice Christianfamily to visit mom during the time when no one was avail-able to visit with mom. My wife also maintained mom anddad’s house hoping that one day mom would return home.Prayerfully, we hoped for this, but it wasn’t to be. Whenmom’s body took a final turn for the worse, Elia (and I andmy cousin Elaine) advocated for mom to spend her finaltime at the hospice in Defiance. Though it was difficult formy wife to see hope slip away, Elia (and I) spent the lastdays and hours with mom. My wife was a true blessing inmy mom’s life....and is a blessing in mine. Thank you, dearfor your love and care. And, thank all of mom’s neighborsand relatives who took the time to pray for mom and visither in her time of need.

The Amish CookBy: Lovina Eicher
By KEVIN WILLIAMS
Lovina is currently taking
this week off because it is
butchering time again at the
Eicher household. The Eich-
ers are butchering a 1,250-
pound steer, which will
supply them with plenty of
meat for the year ahead in the
form of hamburger, chunk
beef and steaks.
Butchering is a messy job,
but the whole family pitches
in. I have a friend who was
able to capture some of the the
butchering day scenes, so if
you are interested in viewing,
visit www.oasisnewsfeatures.comand click the “butchering day”
link. The photos might not be
for the squeamish, but I think
they have documentary value
since home-butchering is such
a part of Amish culinary cul-
ture.
This is a quick, easy recipe
that is a favorite of the Eicher
family on busy days and is a
great way to use fresh ham-
burger.
HAMBURGER
CASSEROLE
2 pounds fresh hamburger
1 medium onion, diced
8 to 10 medium sized pota-
toes, shredded
2 cans of cream of mushroom
soup
colby or cheddar cheese
In a large skillet, brown
hamburger and onions. Re-
move skillet from burner and
add the shredded potatoes.
Season to taste with your fa-
vorite seasoning and then
spread cream of mushroom
over the top of the potatoes.
Bake in the skillet 35-40 min-
utes. When potatoes are tender,
spread slices of cheese over the
top. This is a very easy casse-
role to make on a busy day.

Arnold’s contract extended asAntwerp High School principal
By STEVE MAJOR
Correspondent
ANTWERP – The
Antwerp Local School Board
approved a three-year con-
tract for current high school
principal Steve Arnold at its
monthly meeting on Feb. 17.
Arnold, who has been in
this position for the past six
years, is now approved to be
contracted through the 2013-
14 school year.
In other personnel action,
the board approved Cord
Ehrhart for a one-year teach-
ing contract for next school
year. Ehrhart was also ap-
proved as the track and field
head coach for the upcoming
spring season.
Arnold reported to the
board that it is planned to
have wrestling as an inter-
scholastic sport next year for
the first time.
In other sports-related
news, Arnold reported that
the “Antwerp Has Talent”
athletic booster fund-raiser
pulled in $1,915 for the all-
weather track project. The
athletic boosters are also
planning a reverse raffle at
Grant’s on April 9, which
will include prizes, a meal
and entertainment.
The athletic department re-
ported to the board that it
plans to contract with Ortho-
pedics Northeast to provide
sports trainers at some ath-
letic events next school year.
It is planned that trainers
would be available at least at
all varsity football and bas-
ketball games. Details for
this new program are to be
worked out.
Several upcoming events
are planned, including: Feb.
28, PTO Movie Night; Blood
Drive on March 4 sponsored
by the National Honor Soci-
ety; March 5, GMC cheer-
leading competition at
Hicksville; Winter sports
awards meeting on March
22; Ohio Graduate Testing
March 14-18; Spring sports
parents meeting on March
17; March 19, a dance spon-
sored by S.A.D.D.; March
21, meeting for junior class
parents for college applica-
tion and scholarships; Winter
sports awards meeting on
March 22; and on April 7,
parents meeting for Washing-
ton, D.C., trip.
The school administration
reported that 85 high school
students and 57 middle
school students made the
honor roll.
The board also adopted a
resolution recognizing the
importance of teaching finan-
cial literacy and college and
career readiness. Based on
the resolution, the school will
prepare a plan of action to
teach these subjects in junior
high social studies classes.
Superintendent Mark Hart-
man reported to the board
that at this point, Antwerp
will have two calamity days
to be made up a the end of
the school year. However, it
is possible that the state may
change the number of
calamity days allowed per
year from three back to five,
which would mean there may
not be any days to make up.
Hartman also reported that
the number of bullying inci-
dents was down this past se-
mester when compared to
last year. There were seven
incidents in elementary
school and three in high
school that required interven-
tion by principals.
The board’s next monthly
will be at 6 p.m. Thursday,
March 17.

gentleman whose church in
Antwerp wants to make a nice
donation. I will say more about
this when I double check the
information.”
UPDATE: “I felt so much
better about Lilly that I finally
got some sleep. I talked to
Mandy and she wants to bring
Lilly home and continue treat-
ments here. We will see what
they tell her. I want her to be
sure she is ready to leave that
doctor’s overseeing of her, be-
cause doctors here are not
going to know about this treat-
ment. Plus, we have snow
lined up for the next 7-10 days.
“We have to get this little
girl well. She belongs to all of
us now. This means all the lov-
ing people who have come to
rescue her. It really has been
heart warming. The prayers,
well wishes and donations let
us know that people do still

On Jan. 29, 2011, the
PARC Lane PC Tigers
played in the annual Knights
of Columbus Tournament
held at the Paulding High
School.
Playing at home and com-

games was special. The
kindness and special atten-

well as the other teams, was
awesome.
My special thank you
goes out to Randy Robinett

that every person there was

everyone who helped in

thank you.

Gym class shouldbe year-roundDear Editor,
Schools should have gym
class all year long. Not only is
it fun for students, but it is
one class where they can
relax and get a little energy
out. Most kids are not active
at home; this class is the only
time they get exercise.
Gym class is a link to good
health. The value of physical
fitness can never be over-
stated. It’s only in physical
educational classrooms that
students learn the value of
taking care of themselves and
get regular exercise.
It builds self-esteem. Stu-
dents who are active in physi-
cal activities like basketball,
volleyball and running are
more confident with them-
selves according to most
studies. It’s because of the
self-discipline and dedication
to excel in a sport that brings
out the best in students. In
school, physical education in-
troduces these sport activities
to students allowing them to
make choices to which sport
areas they want to get in-
volved in.
Gym class also develops
cooperation, teamwork and
sportsmanship skill. This
class allows student to inter-
act together to win and excel
physically. It brings out the
competitive sides of students
working both body and mind,
but also promotes sportsman-
ship.
Gym class should be year
long. It would benefit stu-
dents so much. If you agree
with me contact your local
school today.

Divorce hurtschildrenDear Editor,
Divorce is a big nation-
wide problem for children. I
have to go through it and I
hate it. I don’t think some
parents know what their
child has to go through
when they get a divorce.
Divorce makes kids feel
down and this is an issue
sometimes at school. Some
kids whose parents have
gotten a divorce bully other
kids because they don’t
know what to do with their
feelings. Others just have a
low self-esteem and are re-
Chris Johnson (left) gave a program at the Paulding Kiwanis Clubmeeting. He discussed the complexities of government economicstatistics and the difficulty of their interpretation. The U.S. Treasuryconducted a comprehensive survey across all age groups (elemen-tary school through senior citizen) in 2010. “Basic financial literacy”of such concepts as compound interest was 15 percent (85 percentilliterate). George Carter was program chairman.
ally shy. Also some kids
might not pay attention in
class or even fall asleep be-
cause of this.
Transportation is also an
issue. When a kid is at their
dad’s and they want to go to
their mom’s, sometimes
they can’t because maybe
the kid’s mom already has
plans or the dad is busy.
Also, something that goes
along with this issue is
schools. Some kids have
parents that live in different
school districts and the con-
stant running to take their
child to their dad’s or to
school makes them want
their kid to go to the school
they live closer to. For kids,
already having the divorce
issue to go through is
enough, but switching
schools is too much stress.
My last reason not to have
divorce is forgetting things
at the other parent’s house.
When a kid leaves some-
thing at the other parent’s
house and they want it,
sometimes the parent won’t
take them to get it. This
makes kids feel mad and
down on themselves for for-
getting it.
My point is, is that we
should not have divorce. It
makes kids’ lives miserable.
If you are going through this
and need someone to talk to,
call a counselor.

In My OpinionHow far is it?
On a cold winter morning, when I was 6, it was a long
way from my warm bed to go downstairs to wait for the bus.
Then it was even further for a first grade boy to get on the
bus and travel the half mile to Melrose for school. Later that
cold winter evening, it took
several long trips to the barn
carrying buckets of water to
satisfy the thirst of all the an-
imals. Those trips got longer
and longer as the light of day
faded into early winter dark-
ness. Sometimes I would see
the moon or another light in
the sky and wonder how far away it was. Even though the
trip to the barn carrying water was a long way, I thought it
certainly was a longer trip to the moon, but what really mat-
tered was the trip to the barn with buckets of water.
I have been thinking this week about a phrase, “Space-
time continuum.” The more I investigated this phrase, the
more real it became to me. From my home to the Middle
Creek UM Church, it is about 30 miles or 40 minutes. From
my house to the Detroit Airport is about 85 miles or 2.5
hours. From DTW to Tel Aviv, Israel, it is about 6,000 miles
or 14 hours. In my travels, I think of space-time continuum
because as I travel to far away places the distance becomes
less important than the time.
I was looking at some stars last Sunday evening just after
sunset and it made me think about our solar system and the
distance to outer space. Scientists tell us that the sun is about
93 million miles from the earth. The sun’s heat/light takes
about eight minutes to reach earth and you can feel warmth
from the sun’s rays even on a cold winter day. If I would be
able to travel to the sun, our nearest star, on the jet plane that
took me to Israel at about 450 mph, it would take about 24
years to get to the sun.
In my research, I found that the next nearest star to us is
Proxima Centauri, which is 4.3 light-years away. A light
year is the distance light travels in a year and light travels at
about 186,000 miles per second. I think the picture of space-
time just got clearer to me. It is easier to say 4.3 light years
than billions upon billions of miles. Thinking about time and
space makes me think that our God is really an Awesome
God because He created all of this and I have trouble just
thinking about it!
There was a time when it was a long walk from the house
to the barn. Scientists are discovering regions farther into
deep space than I can comprehend, but in my opinion, to a
6-year-old boy not nearly as far as the walk to the barn, car-
rying buckets of water, on a cold winter night.
I hope to see you in church on Sunday! Come and visit
us; we may have something in common. We will save a seat
for you.

George wants to know if
you remember when no one
needed a garbage man or a
garbage disposal in the
kitchen sink because any
scraps left over were tossed
out the back door for the
dog, cat, or chickens ...
When a status symbol was a
bathroom with a commode,
a lavatory and a tub ... When
small foreign countries were
afraid to spit in the face of
the USA ... When you could
buy all sorts of things with a
nickel ... When high schools
didn’t need huge parking
lots ... When “e-mail” and
“online” were unheard-of
words?
• • •
Recently, a new hobby
appeared on the scene –
people actually collect
mousetraps! There are only
just so many ways to catch
mice. Early ways were traps
made with wooden mallets
that fell on the little critter,
or with spring-and-lever
mechanisms similar to those
often used today.
There is an old saying
about mouse traps – he who
invents a new and better
mousetrap will find the
world will build a path to
his door. That old saying
must no longer be true since
many new ideas have shown
up with no paths to doors of
the inventors.
Modern traps are ingen-
ious devices that capture
live mice and can be used
more than once. One 19th-
century trap was a tube-like
contraption that ended up in
the air over a pail of water.
A frightened mouse would
jump out of the tube, fall
into the water below and
drown. Another device was
a glass canning jar with a
special top. The mouse
could run into the jar and
not get out again as a little
fence prevented escape.
Very few people I know
want to think about mice
and do so only when in dire
need of traps to get rid of
them. If you have that need,
you may want to the try the
newer devices such as glue
to catch the critters.

“Clutter,” says Maude
Mopp, harried housewife,
“is the bane of my exis-
tence. I hate clutter. Dust
and even dirty windows do
not bother me as much as
clutter, especially that made
by people other than myself.
“Clutter, a silent, creep-
ing, shadowy thing that
breeds and grows like an all-
consuming fungus, threatens
to swallow up the entire
household in the homemaker
isn’t ever vigilant, not to
speak of always cleaning it
up.
“It doesn’t help the insis-
tent clutter chaser for some-
one to tell them, ‘Don’t you
know – everything has to be
someplace?’” sighs Maude.
• • •
After all these years of
electing people to the presi-
dency of the USA, we still
have never had a woman
president. Which brings to
mind a saying by Charlotte
Whitton: “Whatever women
do they must do twice as well
as men to be thought half as
good.”
“Luckily,” says Lottie,
“this is not difficult.”
• • •
Do you often fight clutter
at your house, have you
found a new mousetrap, or
wonder about the presidency?
Tell us, we’ll tell everybody.

Payne officials look intogrants for fire department
PAYNE – Members of Payne Village Council
met in regular session Feb. 14 to discuss a short
agenda.
Mayor Nancy Speice advised the group that
she will be applying for two grants for the fire
department.
The first is a 2011 Community Development
Block Grant. Funds from this source would be
used for a thermal imaging camera.
Secondly, Speice is researching the possibility
of application for a grant through the Ohio De-
partment of Forestry. She is hoping this grant
would be available for vehicles and/or equip-
ment.
Mike James appeared before council on behalf
of the fire department. He was seeking permis-
sion to have a truck pull as a fund-raiser for the
department. Council took the matter under ad-
visement.
A resident expressed concern about junk items
on a property along Fox Avenue.
According to EMS coordinator, Greg Bollen-
bacher, EMT training was to begin Feb. 22.
In other business, council:
• learned Mayor’s Court receipts totaled $200
for January.
• heard Kerry Hook will provide part-time
help as needed.
• thanked, along with Mayor Speice, village
employees and volunteers for snow removal after
the recent storms.
• learned a Verizon representative will be view-
ing sites in the village as possible locations for a
cell phone tower.
• found out the 2011 contract with the Payne
Ball Association will go out soon.
• was told electrical rates through AEP may go
up after a proposed merging with Columbus
South.
Next regular meeting will be Monday, Feb. 28.
Antwerp cancelscouncil meeting
By STEVE MAJOR
Correspondent
ANTWERP – The Antwerp
Village Council failed to con-
vene a quorum for the monthly
meeting scheduled on Mon-
day, Feb. 14. With only three
of the six council members
present, the council was not
able to conduct any business.
With no urgent issues to at-
tend to, the council, mayor and

Opinion Poll found 45 percent
of Americans trusted public
television over any other news
source including the federal
government and are more sat-

HIDING IN THE FRIDGEOne thing we all do is go to
our refrigerator and say, “What
do we have to eat?” Actually,
sometimes I may open the
door of the fridge three or four
times before I decide what it is
I want.
Our refrigerators hold a lot
of good, healthy foods, such as
lettuce, celery, carrots, broccoli
and cauliflower. It also holds
our drinks such as juice and
milk. These things may sound
healthy to munch on, but usu-
ally not my first choice of what
I want to eat.
I find myself looking for a
Pepsi, candy, bologna and
Swiss cheese. In the freezer I
look for ice cream, popsicles,
meats, frozen vegetables, and
ice, of course.
Our fridge may hold a lot of
good things, but sometimes
every now and then we get a
surprise. Not too long ago, I
was looking for my Sechler
pickle relish because I needed
it in a recipe. I spotted the jar,
opened it, then screamed and
hurriedly set it down.
In the jar was all kind of
gross looking sprouts growing.
After hearing my screams the
perpetrator came running and
said, “Are you okay? What’s
wrong?”
I said, “Oh, no. Look, that
pickle relish is sprouting and
growing pickles. It even turned
black.”
Very calmly he replied, “Oh
no. Those are my peach seeds.
I am trying to start a peach tree
and it said to put them in dirt
and keep them in the refriger-
ator.”
I really should be used to
finding things in the refrigera-
tor. A long time ago, I took a
partial container of what I
thought was cottage cheese in
my lunch sack. I had even
packed some fruit to go on the
top. As I opened my container
of cottage cheese, contemplat-
ing the taste of cottage cheese
and pineapple, I looked in the
container and started scream-
ing. Inside was soil and fish
worms. Wow. The worms
were kind of sleepy but still
moving.
I hurriedly put the lid back
on them and said a few choice
words. So much for lunch!
Of course, I should have
known that fish worms are al-
ways kept in the refrigerator. I
suspect this is a common oc-
currence with fishermen, but
my son finally owned up to the
offense.
My lesson was don’t have
two cottage cheese containers
in your fridge, because nine
chances out of 10 one may be
fish worms.
A weird thing happened in
Florida in 2007. This news
item was reported: A duck had
been shot and placed in the re-
frigerator. The poor bird was
waiting to be the main course
at dinner.
Two days later, the lady of
the house opened up the refrig-
erator to remove the duck.
Then all of a sudden, the duck
moved his head. It was still
alive. The woman wanted to
save the duck, so she took it to
a wildlife rehabilitation center.
It was later reported that the
duck would recuperate, but
probably would not return to
the wild. Now, it is so strange
that the duck survived for two
days in a refrigerator.
I have heard of putting
these items in the refrigerator:
nail polish, lipstick, batteries,
camera film, sculpting clay
and coffee. Of course, we all
know where some people hide
their money, don’t we? That’s
why we call it “cold cash.”
What are some of the things
in your refrigerator? Have you
ever found anything like fish
worms or seeds in your fridge?
Let me know and I’ll give you
a Penny for Your Thoughts.
A Penny For Your Thoughts....
By: Nancy WhitakerBy JIM LOPSHIRE
OSU Extension educator
If you are looking at alter-
native agriculture on small
acreage, interested in local
foods, or looking for some
new enterprises for your fam-
ily farm operation, then plan
to attend the Northern Ohio
New & Small Farm College
being offered by the Ohio
State University Extension.
This four-week introduc-
tory short course is for the
new landowner or anyone
wishing to learn how to make
the most of a few acres. The
program seeks to improve the
productivity and enhance the
viability of small farm opera-
tors.
The program will answer the
four essential questions: “How
to get started in planning for
success?”; “What options are
there for growing vegetables or
livestock?”; “How do I market
what I grow?”; and “What re-
sources exist to help me pursue
my business plans?” Don’t
miss this chance to increase
your agricultural knowledge.
This workshop will focus on
topics related to profitable and
alternative agriculture as well
for small acreages and adding
new enterprises to existing farm
operations. The topics taught at
each site will include: develop-
ing real-life expectations for
your farm, developing a busi-
ness plan for your operation, se-
lecting agricultural enterprises,
developing budgets, marketing
your product through direct
marketing tools, and the re-
sources available.
Sessions will be held once a
week for four weeks during
March. Each session will run
from 6:30-9 p.m.
The sessions will be held at
two locations. The Putnam
County Extension office in Ot-
tawa will be the site for the
Monday sessions scheduled for
March 7, 14, 21 and 28. The
EHOVE Career Center in
Milan will be the site for the
Tuesday sessions scheduled for
March 8, 15, 22 and 29. The
same program is offered at each
site.
Cost is $50 with each addi-
tional registrant from the family
or operation at $30. The fee in-
cludes course notebook, class
handouts, and light refresh-
ments. Registration deadline is
March 1.

Extension office at 419-512-

QUESTION: It’s February
and I’ve already blown my
New Year’s resolution to lose
weight. I was really moti-
vated, but can’t seem to stick
with it. Any advice?
JULI: Truth be told, few of us
have been diligent to keep the
promises we made to ourselves
on Jan. 1. Whether it was to
lose weight, stop smoking or to
be a better parent, real change
is difficult to consistently stay
committed to.
One of the greatest barriers
to keeping your New Year’s
resolution is all-or-nothing
thinking. In other words, since
I ate a pint of ice cream yester-
day, I guess the diet will have
to wait until next year, or at
least next week. Let’s face it ...
we all fail to perfectly measure
up to our greatest aspirations.
The difference between suc-
cess and failure is really based
on whether or not you keep try-
ing, even after you fail. Change
doesn’t happen overnight. Re-
search suggests that it takes an
average of 66 days to form a
new habit.
As you work toward losing
weight, keep a couple of things
in mind. Set goals that will
change your lifestyle, like a
healthy eating and exercise
plan instead of targeting a
number on the scale. Create a
form of accountability, whether
a friend to work out with or a
formal weight loss program. It
is much easier to stay commit-
ted to your goal when someone
is cheering you on. Also, re-
member that medical or emo-
tional issues can impact
weight. You may want to con-
sult your physician or perhaps
a counselor if you continue to
struggle.
Finally, consider this quote
by GK Chesterton: “Anything
worth doing is worth doing
badly.” In other words, don’t
give up just because you
haven’t succeeded one hundred
percent. Even a little progress
this year is better than no
progress!
QUESTION: My husband
and I are at our wit’s end
with our 6-year-old daughter.
She’s determined to chal-
lenge our authority and have
things her own way. We’d
like to think it’s just a stage,
but our son wasn’t anywhere
near this difficult when he
was 6. What’s going on?
JIM: I think all parents have
those times when they feel like
they’re fighting a losing battle.
No matter how many times we
discipline our kids and try to
help them make the right
choices, the message just does-
n’t seem to get through.
My wife, Jean, and I have
faced this kind of frustration
with our oldest son. He’s your
typical strong-willed child. He
sees things in black and white,
which is not a bad quality in it-
self. But he often has trouble
respecting authority. Time and
again, we have tried to teach
him the importance of being
respectful. And time and again,
he’s had us tearing our hair out!
He never seemed to learn his
lesson – until, that is, just re-
cently.
Something has changed in
our firstborn son. It’s like he’s
had a burst of maturity. He’s
getting perspective, and it’s
clear that he’s beginning to un-
derstand that his actions have
consequences, both for himself
and for those around him. He’s
more respectful of his mom
and dad, not to mention his lit-
tle brother.
Did Jean and I discover
some magic formula to bring
about this change? No – we’ve
just been doing what we’ve al-
ways done. But I think that’s
the point. If we’re consistentand persistent with our kids
when it comes to discipline and
boundaries, the message is
going to get through eventually.
There may be conflict along the
way, as you’ve discovered with
your daughter. But by God’s
grace, one day she’ll thank you
for your efforts to develop char-
acter in her when she was
younger. The important thing is
that you don’t give up. And
above all, make sure she knows
you love her.
By Jim Daly and Dr. Juli Slattery
‘Winning the Battle for a Generation’By Rick Jones
exec. director, Defiance
Area Youth for Christ
Best-selling speaker and author Steven
Covey has made a living out of focusing on
“right priorities,” or what he has come to call
in his books The Seven Habits of Highly Ef-fective People.
Speaking of priorities, on Jan. 4, 2006,
Mack Brown won the biggest football game
of his three-decade coaching career. His Texas
Longhorns rallied from a 12-point deficit
against the University of Southern California
to win both the Rose Bowl and the National
Championship.
The win erased that perpetual criticism, “He
can’t win the big one.” After this incredible
victory, Brown put the game into perspective
for the young men on that team.
In the locker-room that night, Brown told
his players, “Don’t let this be the best thing
that ever happens in your life. Maybe it’ll be
the best sports event, but don’t let it be the best
thing. Make sure you’re a better father than
this today. Make sure you’re a better husband
than this today, because this goes away. It’s a
game.”
Some contended Brown’s comments were
poorly timed following such an incredible
win, but wise individuals will remember it as
one of the greatest speeches ever given by a
coach.
With regard to living our lives in the light of
eternity, getting our priorities right, the scriptures
remind us in Matthew 6:33 (KJV): “But seek ye
first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness;
and all these things shall be added unto you.”

Green trends for 2011equals sustainability
By Becky Suvar
WMEA Program Manager
There are four themes that we need to take a look at for
Going Green in 2011.
Energy efficiency
The name of the game in greening up your life style starts
with reducing your overall power consumption. “Smart” tech-
nologies in home appliances like refrigerators, washing
machines and ovens that monitor the grid and can tell users
when the least expensive time to run a cycle or cook a meal
will occur.
These appliances will also learn when you most often use
them (such as how many times a day and when you open the
freezer) and adjust the temperature accordingly to keep foods
fresh, even at slightly warmer temperatures, to reduce power
consumption. You can even receive a text message from your
oven to start and stop cooking cycles when you’re out in the
backyard or even on the road.
Companies also have met energy efficiency standards
head-on, and the U.S. EPA is already revising its Energy Star
program to take the requirements up another notch.
The bottom line is that consumers can expect their gadgets
to strive to maximize efficiency and minimize power drain in
new, intuitive ways.
Monitoring home energy usage
Jumping off of the efficiency trend, being able to monitor
and control your home energy usage from any location is a
huge theme in consumer electronics.
“Smart” plugs offer a fast way to modify existing homes in
order to monitor power usage, without needing a full-scale
home energy monitoring system.
While their features vary by manufacturer, essentially,
smart plugs are outlet units that plug into regular household
outlets to prevent vampire power drain, monitor energy con-
sumption and generally reduce the overall costs to run various
electronics.
Many versions offer wi-fi or radio wave technology that
communicate consumption rates to energy profiles accessible
from any location. This capability, as well as updates avail-
able by text or email, make unusual usage patterns easier to
spot and money easier to save in the process.
E-cycling and utilizing recycled materials in products
As part of companies’ overall corporate social responsibil-
ity plans, electronics recycling inevitably comes into play.
Companies are establishing nationwide collection
opportunities and responsible recycling initiatives for not only
their own tech, but their competitors’ as well.
Utilization of reclaimed materials both from post- and pre-
consumer streams is also a hot trend across manufacturers.
For example, the Sony Alpha A55 DSLR series camera bod-
ies are made from post-industrial waste made from the CD
and DVD manufacturing process. Also, Panasonic has a goal
to use 16 percent recycled materials in every product it makes
by 2018.
Convergence
Essentially, the concept of “convergence” implies
that gadgets can do more outside their traditional range of
functionality.
The newly revealed smart TVs from LG give a perfect
example of this by showcasing a platform that brings more
advanced levels of streaming online content and Web brows-
ing. Panasonic’s new integrated TVs host chatting on Skype,
visit Facebook and even tracking your fitness to the tradition-
al television experience.
Convergence of tech means that fewer resources are uti-
lized to produce the same capabilities, and it may mean that
people buy “smarter” for their lifestyles. Rather than having
more consumer electronic devices, they purchase fewer that
have more functionality.
It is important at the end of life for all our gadgets, that they
are responsibly recycled to find a new life and a new usage.
If you have any questions about Paulding County
recycling opportunities, please give Becky Suvar, WMEA
Program manager, a call at 419-399-3630.

EPA’s budgetproposalreflectstough choices
WASHINGTON – The
Obama Administration last
week proposed a FY 2012
budget of $8.973 billion for
the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA).
This proposal reflects
President Obama’s commit-
ment to ensuring the govern-
ment lives within its means
while ensuring that EPA can
carry out its core mission:
protecting public health and
our environment while
reducing air and water pol-
lution in communities across
America.
This budget proposal rep-
resents about a 13 percent
decrease from the FY 2010
budget of $10.3 billion.
“As millions of families
are cutting back and spend-
ing less, they expect the
same good fiscal sense out
of their government. That is
why this budget reflects the
tough choices needed for
our nation’s short- and long-
term fiscal health – and
allows EPA to maintain its
fundamental mission of pro-
tecting human health and the
environment,” said EPA
administrator Lisa P.
Jackson. “This budget
focuses our resources on the
most urgent health and envi-
ronmental challenges we
face. Though it includes sig-
nificant cuts, it provides
EPA with what we need to
fundamentally protect the
health of the American peo-
ple.”
Some key 2012 budget
initiatives include $350 mil-
lion for projects strategically
chosen to target the most
significant threats to peo-
ple’s health in the Great
Lakes ecosystem, a $125
million decrease from FY
2010, the first year of the
initiative.

Using wind as an energy option
Wind turbines can be an environmentally and financially beneficial resource to landowners.
AEP Ohio offers Energy
Star appliance rebate
As both businesses and pri-
vate citizens continue to look
for alternative sources of ener-
gy to help the environment,
wind continues to generate a
back and forth discussion as to
its efficacy as an energy solu-
tion. While there are pros and
cons to wind, it’s also impor-
tant to note there are certain
myths and misconceptions
about wind that can cloud the
discussion.
Before discussing the
advantages and disadvantages
of wind, it’s helpful to exam-
ine certain elements of the
argument that might be more
rooted in myth than fact.
Myths About Wind
One of the more commonly
cited issues surrounding the
use of wind turbines to gener-
ate energy is their potentially
harmful effects on avian life.
In reality, wind turbines are
much less harmful to birds
than felines. According to
HealthLink, a nonprofit organ-
ization dedicated to informing
individuals about environmen-
tal risks to human health, stud-
ies have shown that wind tur-
bines may be responsible for
1.5 to 2 deaths per year in most
areas. Cats, on the other hand,
are responsible for 8 to 10 bird
deaths a year in most areas.
Another myth with regard to
wind power is the safety risk
of wind turbines should weath-
er turn severe. While this was
once a genuine concern, as
wind turbine technology has
evolved, the safety risk has
decreased significantly.
Today’s wind turbines are
designed to prevent them from
being active in severe weather,
meaning there is essentially no
turbined-related risk to sur-
rounding residents should a
storm occur.
In addition to safety con-
cerns, some homeowners are
worried that wind turbines will
increase their property taxes.
This concern is rooted in fact,
but not necessarily costly to
homeowners. Wind turbines
often do increase property
value because they represent a
means for homeowners to pro-
duce long-term income.
However, the majority of land-
lease agreements include pro-
visions stating that the wind
developer will cover any addi-
tional property taxes that result
from the installation of a wind
turbine.
Benefits of Wind Turbines
Arguably the greatest bene-
fit of wind turbines is their
environmental impact. Once
the turbine has been construct-
ed, its environmental impact is
minimal. Wind turbines pro-
duce zero emissions, meaning
there will be no CO2, sulfur,
particulates, or nitrogen oxide
entering the atmosphere from
wind turbines. And because
environmental conditions have
been linked to a host of med-
ical maladies, it’s safe to say
wind turbines could help
improve human health.
Another benefit of wind tur-
bines is the potential financial
benefits to homeowners who
agree to lease their land to
wind developers. While the
amount a homeowner can earn
depends on the size of the
wind turbine and how produc-
tive it is, projects in Minnesota
and Iowa saw landowners earn
between 2 and 4 percent of the
turbine’s annual gross revenue.
For a turbine that earns
$200,000 per year in gross rev-
enue, that’s an annual payment
of $2,000 to landowners, a
hefty windfall for homeown-
ers, particularly in today’s
economy.
Reduced energy loss is
another potential benefit of
wind turbines. Energy is often
lost via transfer through ener-
gy lines, with some estimates
suggesting as much as 50 per-
cent of all total energy is being
lost to energy line transfers.
Locally produced power, how-
ever, is much more efficient.
Disadvantages Of Wind
Turbines
One of the more widely
cited disadvantages to wind
turbines is the noise they cre-
ate. Large-scale wind turbines,
at the peak of their production,
can be very noisy. However,
today’s turbines are much less
noisy than those of yesteryear,
often being compared to the
noise generated from a modern
refrigerator. In fact, the wind
generated from today’s tur-
bines often drowns out the
noise generated from the tur-
bine itself.
The cost of wind turbines is
commonly considered the
greatest disadvantage. This
isn’t a great concern for home-
owners, as most wind turbines
are owned by investors who
then lease lands once the tur-
bine has been built. However,
the tenuous nature of the econ-
omy has led many investors to
more closely examine where
their money is going, and
some investors might question
if wind turbines are the best
way to invest their money.
Safety also must be consid-
ered when considering the
installation of a wind tur-
bine. Large turbines could
pose risks in areas with fre-
quent air traffic. That’s a
genuine concern in rural
areas, where small personal
aircraft are often employed for
farming purposes.

AEP Ohio, a unit of
American Electric Power,
recently introduced its
Residential ENERGY STAR
Appliance Program.
In an effort to increase con-
sumer awareness and encour-
age the purchase of ENERGY
STAR products, AEP Ohio is
offering mail-in rebates as a
way of reducing the price of
ENERGY STAR qualified
products to their customers.
“During the first quarter of
2011, we are offering a $50
mail-in rebate to AEP Ohio
residential customers who pur-
chase an ENERGY STAR
clothes washer,” said Jon
Williams, AEP Ohio manager
energy efficiency and peak
demand response. “By replac-
ing older or inefficient prod-
ucts with ENERGY STAR
qualified products, consumers
reduce energy use, save money
and help reduce pollution.
ENERGY STAR clothes
washers also use less water
thus helping to preserve this
vital resource.”
The rebate is good for pur-
chases made Jan. 1-April 30,
2011. A clothes washer rebate
form must be completed and
mailed in no later than May
15. Rebate forms can be
obtained at participating retail-
ers or on-line at
www.gridSMARTOhio.com. In
order to take advantage of this
opportunity, an individual
must be a current AEP Ohio
residential service customer.
The AEP Ohio Residential
ENERGY STAR Appliance
Program is part of the
gridSMART initiative offered
by the utility to help residential
and commercial customers use
less energy, manage their bills
and protect the environment.
ENERGY STAR (www.ener-gystar.gov) is a joint program of
the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency and the
U.S. Department of Energy
working with manufacturers to
help consumers throughout the
United States identify, pur-
chase and use energy efficient
appliances, lighting, electron-
ics and other products. The
goals are to save energy, save
money and reduce pollution.

The Antwerp Lookin’ Out committee accepts a $2,000 check from Randy Myers of Leland SmithInsurance Services, Inc. an Erie Insurance agent, to promote safe driving. Here, Dan Fowler ofLeland Smith Insurance (third from left) presents the donation to Bryant Miesle, Antwerp S.A.D.D.president, advisor Deb Altic and Alaine Wetli, S.A.D.D. vice president.
Erie Insurance awards AHSLookin’ Out safe driving grant
ANTWERP – Thanks to a $2,000 grant
from Erie Insurance and its Lookin’ Out pro-
gram, students from Antwerp High School
will spread the word about safe driving among
their peers.
“Car crashes are the leading cause of death
of U.S. teens,” said Erie Insurance agent
Krista Schlemmer of Leland Smith Insurance
Services Inc. Schlemmer is partnering with the
students at Antwerp to implement the Lookin’
Out program.
“By giving teens the resources to educate
their peers, we can help save lives and make
the roads safer for everyone,” said Schlemmer.
“The students at Antwerp are to be com-
mended for their proactive efforts.”
Lookin’ Out is different from other safe
driving programs, as it is rooted in a student-
driven approach of positive peer influence.
Through Lookin’ Out, teens work with school
and agency advisors to create a series of
events and activities addressing risk factors
such as distracted driving, lack of seatbelt use,
speeding, driving under the influence and
other reckless behaviors.
The Antwerp Lookin’ Out committee has
planned a number of activities throughout the
school year that will be funded by this grant,
including a visit from the Lookin’ Out Safety
Bug, a mechanically engineered car that sim-
ulates impairment, and more.
Since its 2001 inception, Lookin’ Out has
been launched in more than 200 high schools
and awarded more than $500,000 in grants.
This marks Antwerp’s fifth year participating
in the program.
Antwerp to hold ‘Ohio MainStreet’ meeting March 2
ANTWERP – At a community meeting held
Feb. 8, area residents heard about the Heritage
Ohio program, “Ohio Main Street,” which has
been working with communities across the
state to revitalize their historic or traditional
commercial areas.
A second community meeting is scheduled
for 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 2 in the
Antwerp School Auditeria.
Ohio Main Street is not just a “project” or a
grant, but a process. The structure of the pro-
gram may provide important guidelines for the
Village of Antwerp.
The trademarked structure uses a four-point
methodology to create a total image for the
community providing the retail/professional
area with its necessary market niche, creating
a cohesive visual identity unique to the com-
munity, and nurturing a cultural ambiance as-
sociated with the community’s location,
appearance, and way of life.
The “Main Street” approach gradually
builds on existing resources and fosters im-
proved community leadership and support on
behalf of the central business district for the
long term. The four points or committees are
organization, design, promotion, and eco-
nomic restructuring.
The lead committee is Organization, trying
to get everyone working toward the same vi-
sion for downtown. The organization commit-
tee builds consensus and cooperation among
the many groups and individuals involved in
the revitalization process.
To ensure a self-reliant, broad-based, long-
lasting downtown revitalization program, the
entire community must rally around the idea.
Cooperation from both the public and the pri-
vate sector is critical to achieve visible results.
As the keystone to success, organization is
broad based, public and private oriented, and
volunteer driven.
A second committee focuses on Design, get-
ting downtown into top physical shape. Mem-
bers of this committee work to improve the
downtown’s image by improving its physical
appearance.
In addition to the appearance of buildings,
it also addresses street lights, window dis-
plays, parking areas, signs, sidewalks,
streetscapes, street furniture, landscaping,
zoning, promotional materials and all other el-
ements that convey a visual message about
what the downtown is and what it has to offer.
Main Street’s goal is to work with all these
elements to create a friendly, attractive place
that will draw in visitors and businesses.
The third committee deals with Promotion,
getting more people to visit downtown. Mar-
keting the commercial district’s assets to cus-
tomers, potential investors, present and new
businesses, local citizens, and visitors. To keep
investors, visitors, and businesses coming
downtown, Main Street must reshape the com-
munity perspective of downtown as a hub of
activity.
Successful downtown image campaigns, as
well as promotional activities that build upon
the community’s unique heritage and culture
send a consistent, compelling message pro-
moting the downtown area. Effective promo-
tion creates a positive image of the downtown
through retail promotional activity and special
events utilizing the downtown as a stage area
of community activities.
A final committee, Economic Restructuring,
works at getting downtown businesses health-
ier. The focus is on strengthening the down-
town district’s existing economic base while
finding ways to diversify it and expand it to
meet new opportunities and challenges from
outlying development.
The ultimate goal is to create downtowns
that are economically viable, helping existing
downtown businesses to expand and recruiting
new businesses while providing a balanced
mix, converting unused space into productive
property, and sharpening the competitiveness
of downtown merchants. Researching the re-
gional market and consumer trends give Main
Street organizations a realistic picture of what
market mix will work for their downtown.
The goals of the March 2 meeting will be to
more fully understand the structure of the four
committees, identify a participant “wish list”
of items needed to continue improvements in
Antwerp, and determine when each committee
will meet next. Connie Mack, a certified Main
Street manager, will be the presenter.
For more information, call 419-258-2455.
ODOT warns against
snow left on highwaysLIMA (February 10, 2011)
– ODOT is issuing what has
become an annual warning to
residents living on state high-
ways: Don’t leave snow
plowed from private drive-
ways on the highways.
“Not only is it not advisable
to leave snow from your
driveway in the middle of the
highway, it is against the law,”
said Kirk Slusher, Ohio De-
partment of Transportation
District 1 deputy director.
Ohio Revised Code
4511.74 prohibits the place-
ment of injurious material on
a highway except that which
is placed on the roadway by a
proper authority, such as the
salt or grit which ODOT uses
to treat icy roads.
Placing anything on the
highway could be dangerous
to motorists in that they may
hit these obstructions and lose
control of their vehicle. “If it
is found that snow displaced
from a private drive onto a
highway contributes to an ac-
cident, the individual who
placed it there could be found
liable,” said Slusher.
According to the Ohio State
Highway Patrol, the offense is
considered a first degree mis-
demeanor and carries a maxi-
mum penalty of six months in
jail and a $1,000 fine.
ODOT advises snow from
private drives be pushed com-
pletely off the highway. It is
recommended that residents
place the snow on the far side
of their drives so that a pass-
ing ODOT plow will not
throw the snow back into the
driveway, said Slusher.
In addition, the department
recommends individuals clear
snow away from their mail-
boxes. “Moving snow to the
far side of the mailbox may
reduce the likelihood that
snow thrown from a passing
plow will cause damage,”
said Slusher.
ODOT also reminds par-
ents to keep their children
from playing in piles of snow
which are close to the road.
District One serves the
counties of Allen, Defiance,
Hancock, Hardin, Paulding,
Putnam, Van Wert and Wyan-
dot.

Raiders wrap up historic regular seasonBy KEVIN
WANNEMACHERSportswriter
HAVILAND – There is no
better way to end a historic
regular season than to cap it off
with a pair of records in the
final contest.
The Wayne Trace Lady
Raiders did just that.
Wayne Trace wrapped up a
20-0 regular season and be-
came the first Raider girls team
to do so after a 76-39 win over
Green Meadows Conference
rival Fairview Thursday
evening.
With the win, the Lady
Raiders also wrapped up an
undefeated 7-0 mark in the
conference that gives Wayne
Trace four straight league titles
for the first time in the girls
program’s history.
Senior standout guard
Kacee Hockenberry wrapped
up her career in the Palace by
scoring her 1,000th point in
her final game, hitting a free
throw at the 2:47 mark of the
opening quarter against the
Lady Apaches. Hockenberry
closed her career at home with
16 points, four assists and three
steals in the victory.
Senior forward Jo Ellen
Fickel also hit the record books
in the contest, eclipsing the
two-point field goals made for
a career with her 336th with
7:07 left in the third quarter of
the Raider win. Fickel finished
the night with 10 points, three
assists and two steals.
It was a night that saw five
seniors play the final home
game of their careers, wrap-
ping up a record of 64-14 in
regular season action over four
seasons.
Senior guard Janelle Davis
scored 10 points in the contest
while adding six assists and
three steals. Senior guard
Kelsey Heck added a dozen
markers while senior guard
Andrea Padilla chipped in
three rebounds, an assist and
two steals.
“This has been a tremen-
dous group of girls to coach
and they are a very special
group of kids,” noted Wayne
Trace head coach Greg Davis.
“They have worked extremely
hard and they deserve the suc-
cess and recognition they are
being rewarded with. We still
have some work to do, but it is
nice to get the regular season
wrapped up and we can come
back next week looking for-
ward to the tournament.”
Only one other basketball
team in the history of Wayne
Trace has completed a regular
season undefeated. The Raider
boys’ squad from the 1980-81
season finished the regular
schedule 20-0 before losing to
Fairview in the sectional
championship, finishing 21-1.
“Winning the league was
the first goal for this team and
the girls did a great job of
keeping that in focus all year,”
Davis continued. “They have
had a superb regular season
Jim Bowers/Paulding County ProgressWayne Trace senior JoEllen Fickel #21 drops in an jumper for

and deserve a lot of credit for
their success.”
Wayne Trace jumped on top
25-8 after one quarter and re-
ally was never threatened.
Fairview did close within 29-
21 on an Abby Grinnell bucket
but the Lady Raiders pushed
the margin back to 39-26 at the
intermission.
The red, white and blue then
put the game away in the third
quarter outscoring the visiting
Apaches 26-4 in the period for
a commanding 65-30 advan-
tage.
Krystal Wannemacher,
Sarah Feasby and Ashley
Saylor all chipped in eight
markers for the Raiders while
Tanya Sinn and Kari Myers
had the other Raider baskets.
Wayne Trace’s junior var-
sity also captured the Green
Meadows Conference title
with a 43-11 win over the
Apaches, closing the season
at 15-4 overall and 6-0 in the
league.
Becca Habern bucketed 10
points for Wayne Trace with
Lauren Speice adding eight
markers. Emily Whitman,
Rachel Long, Stacy Wen-
ninger and Taylor Grant all
chipped in four markers.
Antwerp Archers GMC co-championsBy STEVE MAJOR
Sportswriter
ANTWERP – The
Antwerp Archers claimed a
second consecutive GMC
championship by besting
rival Hicksville 57-44 last
Friday night at home. After
losing its first league game to
Tinora, the Archers had their
backs against the wall for six
straight GMC games. But
Antwerp came through with
six straight league wins to
claim the title along with
Tinora and Edgerton, who all
finished at 6-1 in the GMC.
“We lost our first confer-
ence game so we where up
against it,” said Antwerp
coach Scott McMichael.
“But we got better and better
each week.”
The three-way tie for the
league championship had a
very nice symmetry – Tinora
beat Antwerp, Antwerp beat
Edgerton and Edgerton beat
Tinora. The GMC title is the
third time a Scott
McMichael-coached team
has won the championship.
Also over the weekend, the
Archers took a road victory
at Hilltop by a score of 48-
24. With that win Antwerp
has claimed 10 of their last
11 games, including seven in
a row. For the season,
Antwerp is now 13-5.
The victory over
Hicksville was extra sweet
for Antwerp’s six seniors –
Logan Lucas, Jordan Kop-
penhofer, Shaile Chamber-
lain, Dustin Hitzeman,
Tanner Copsey and Zac
Coleman – who were playing
their last home game of their
careers.
“It was a memorable night
for the seniors,” said
McMichael. “They all con-
tributed and they all got to
cut down the nets. They got
to do something they will re-
member the rest of their
lives.”
Ten Archers cracked the
scoring column against the
Aces, with Coleman leading
the way with 11 points.
Chamberlain had eight and
Lucas, Koppenhofer and
Drew Taylor added seven
points apiece.
At Hilltop, the Archers
again had great balance with
nine players scoring points.
Copsey was the top scorer
with 11 points and sopho-
more Justin Butte added 10
markers.
McMichael also had praise
for the community’s backing.
“We appreciate the fan
support,” said the Antwerp
coach. “So winning the title
at home was special for the
fans and players.”
The JV Archers also
racked up two wins this past
weekend to up their record to
15-3 for the year and claim a
JV GMC champion along the
way. Against Hicksville the
JV Archers won 37-30 and
then they beat Hilltop 35-27.
“For these two games we
had a couple of guys hurt and
a couple sick, so it was like a
MASH unit out there,” said
Antwerp JV coach Jason
Hormann. “We pulled both
games out in the second half.
Against Hicksville, we
outscored them by 12 points
in the third quarter after lead-
ing by just one at half-time.
Then at Hilltop we were tied
going into the last quarter
and we outscored them 6-0
over the last two-and-a-half
minutes.”
The win against the JV
Aces allowed Antwerp to
claim the GMC JV title out-
right when combined with
Tinora’s victory over Holgate
in that JV matchup.
Antwerp’s JV team, like
the varsity, has had very bal-
anced scoring all year. Zach
Dunlop scored nine points
against the JV Aces to lead
the way and Noah Ganger
added eight. Austin Stout
bucketed eight points at Hill-
top and Ganger and Dunlop
added seven apiece, too.
This week, Antwerp has
two games. On Thursday
night Antwerp traveld to
Montpelier for a make-up
game. Then on Friday night,
the Archers cross over into
Indiana to play the Warriors
of Woodlan.
Neither of those opponents
have good records, but the
Archers need to stay focused
and not rest with the state
tournament just ahead. A
team always wants to be
playing its best ball at the end
of the season.
“For the rest of our sched-
ule, if we play up to our po-
tential, we should get a few
more wins,” said McMichael.
“We have grown in confi-
dence by getting better every
week the last four weeks. We
lost a few games early, but
this team may be peaking at
the right time.”

Lady Archers tune up fortournament with pair of wins
By STEVE MAJORSportswriter
ANTWERP – The Lady
Archers racked up two more
wins this past week against
two very dissimilar oppo-
nents. On Tuesday at home
Antwerp came back from a
first-half deficit to beat BBC
league champs Stryker 41-
34. Then on Thursday, the
Lady Archers traveled to
Hicksville and clobbered the
Aces 46-16 giving Hicksville
their 17th loss of the year.
The two wins enabled
Antwerp to finish the regular
season at 12-7. But more im-
portantly, Antwerp built mo-
mentum for the state
tournament starting this week.
“We are closer to being
ready, especially after the
Stryker game,” said Antwerp
coach Kevin Taylor.
As has been a problem all
year, Antwerp came out flat in
the first quarter. That allowed
Stryker to race to 9-0 lead
early in the second stanza.
But Antwerp didn’t give up.
“We had seven turnovers in
the first-half against Stryker,
but just two in the second-
half. We also played defense
much better in the second-
half; we talked and we com-
municated. We also learned
from our mistakes,” said Tay-
lor.
AJ Stuck came up big time
for Antwerp against the Lady
Panthers, leading team with
13 points.
“AJ was key to us coming
back,” said the Antwerp
coach. “She kept us in the ball
game there in the second
quarter by scoring our first
five points. She also had a
couple big steals for us. She
was moving her feet and get-
ting into the passing lane.”
Antwerp completed their
comeback against Stryker by
outscoring their opponents
12-4 in the fourth quarter to
win going away.
Taylor also had praise for
point guard Tricia Smalley,
who added 12 points on the
night.
“Tricia took care of the ball
and knocked down the open
shots,” said Taylor. “It was
one of her better games.”
Against Hicksville, the
Lady Archers were quicker
off the mark and built a 22-12
half-time lead. Then Antwerp
turned up the heat even fur-
ther by outscoring Hicksville
by 20 points in the second
half.
Senior Jessie Arnold led
Antwerp with 16 points at
Hicksville and sophomore
Alexis Jones added 14.
Unable to field a full team,
the JV Lady did not play ei-
ther opponent last week.
Thus, they ended the season
with a 5-12 overall record.
The Lady Archers earned
the second seed at the Bryan
sectional, thus they get a first-
round bye. Antwerp will play
this Saturday night taking on
the winner of the Edon-Mont-
pelier game.
Based on their overall
records, Edon is the clear fa-
vorite in that contest.
Antwerp has already beaten
the Lady Blue Bombers twice
this season, 47-30 and 33-27.
However, it is always tough
to beat a decent team three
times.
“We have two wins over
Edon, but the second game
was much closer,” said Tay-
lor. “If we play Edon we
know that we will have a bat-
tle on our hands. We will need
to keep them off the boards.”
“At practice this week, we
will focus on taking the first
good shot there is for us. We
will also focus on communi-
cation on defense. We will

Panther boys on a rollwith 2 weekend victories
By JIM LANGHAMSportswriter
The Panther boys im-
proved their record to 14-5
with a pair of weekend wins,
a 72-65 overtime win over
conference foe Spencerville
and a non-conference road
win, 57-51, over Bryan.
“It was a big weekend for
us as we prepare for the tour-
nament,” said head boys
coach Shawn Brewer. “We
had a tough game on the
road. We beat two teams that
helped prepare us for the
tournament.”
Friday night was senior
night as team officials hon-
ored the play of eight players
over the past several years:
Derrick Pease, Devan
Bermejo, Travis Keeran,
Logan Stoller, Sam Heilshorn,
Grant Harder, Jesse Glass and
Dylan Welch.
Paulding faced the hot-
shooting hands of the Bearcats
early to nudge into a 17-15
first quarter advantage.
Spencerville continued its re-
lentless offensive attack in the
second stanza, but Paulding
still maintained a 36-32 ad-
vantage.
The fight continued in the
third quarter as Spencerville
chipped a point off the lead to
cut the Paulding advantage to
47-44. However, Paulding’s
defense wore down the
Bearcat attack as the Pan-
thers won the overtime
thriller.
Travis Keeran led Paulding
with 14 points while Derrick
Pease and Dylan Welch each
contributed 12 points and
Anthony Arellano added 10
points to the Panther’s bal-
anced attack.
“Our kids played hard.
Spencerville really shot the
ball well,” said Brewer.
“They did a nice job of at-
tacking our zone. I thought
we did a nice job offensively
taking our time to work for
high quality shots. By doing
that we were able to keep
ourselves in the game.
“In the second half, we
were playing like it was close
to tournament time,” contin-
ued Brewer. “Each posses-
sion was important. We had
several good defensive stops.
We executed well in over-
time.”
On Saturday, Brewer felt
that the Panthers came out a
little flat following Friday’s
exciting overtime game.
“We scrambled and clawed
our way back. I felt good
about where we were at the
half. It was their senior night
and they were excited about
that. In the third quarter, our
pressure took their game
away. We did a good job of
capitalizing on their
turnovers.”
Bryan jumped out to a 17-
13 advantage but Paulding
tied the game at 25-25 at the
halfway mark. Bryan pulled
out to a 43-40 advantage at
the end of the third quarter,
but the Panthers got the best
of the Golden Bears, 17-8, in
the final stanza, to win going
away.
Pease led the Paulding
scoring with 15 points while
Bermejo and Stoller each
added 13 points for Paulding.
This Friday, the Panthers
travel to Allen East for an im-
portant game with the Mus-
tangs. Should Paulding win,
they will set themselves in
position for a runners-up spot
in the Northwest Conference.
Lima Central Catholic will
take on Columbus Grove also
on Friday night. Both of
those squads stand at 6-1. A
win at Allen East would
guarantee the Panthers a run-
ner-up spot.
“I really want to thank our
fans for the way they have
supported us. The crowds we
have had at our games, both
at home and on the road,
have been outstanding,” em-
phasized Brewer. “It has
been awesome to see our fans
get there before the junior
varsity games and cheer for
both games. The crowds
have done one awesome job
of supporting us.”

WANNEMACHERSportswriter
In action early last week,
the Lady Raiders posted a
non-league 69-50 win over
Miller City on Wednesday
evening that saw Kacee
Hockenberry break another
record. (See related story.)The senior guard set a new
career record for assists in the
contest, breaking the old
record held by Natalie Davis
of 206.
Wayne Trace led 20-14 at
the end of one period before
posting a 32-26 halftime ad-
vantage. The Lady Raiders
widened the margin to 50-35
after three quarters and never
were threatened in the final
eight minutes.
Hockenberry paced the
Raiders with 19 points with
Jo Ellen Fickel adding 18
while Kelsey Heck and Krys-
tal Wannemacher chipped in
10. Janelle Davis (nine), Ash-
ley Saylor (two) and Sarah
Feasby (one) had the other
red, white and blue markers.
Wannemacher led Wayne
Trace on the boards with
seven with Davis getting six.
Heck also had five caroms
for the Raiders. Hockenberry
and Davis each dished off
seven assists as well.
Wayne Trace also posted a
57-38 win at rival Crestview
to start the week, a victory
that broke the school record
for victories in a season.
Heck, Fickel and Hocken-
berry all hit twin digits with
13, 12 and 11 markers, re-
spectively. Wannemacher
(eight), Padilla (five), Davis
(five) and Feasby (three) also
found the scoring column for

boards to pace Wayne Trace
with Davis adding three as-

Raiders let lead slip awayBy KEVIN
WANNEMACHERSportswriter
HAVILAND – It’s a pat-
tern that Wayne Trace head
coach Jim Linder really
wishes would just go away
from his varsity boys basket-
ball team.
Another early lead disap-
peared over the final two
quarters and Wayne Trace
couldn’t hold on down the
stretch as the Raiders fell at
Fairview 60-53 Friday
evening.
Wayne Trace had leads of
11-2 and 27-15, the latter of
which was midway through
the second stanza.
However, the host Apaches
outscored the visiting Raiders
45-26 over the last 19 min-
utes of the contest to record
their sixth win of the season.
“We had opportunities to
widen the lead and didn’t take
advantage,” noted Raider
head coach Jim Linder. “We
didn’t make good decisions at
key times and it came back to
haunt us.”
The Apaches got within 14-
8 after one quarter and were
within 20-15 at the six-minute
mark of the second stanza.
However, a bucket and trey by
Ryne Jerome and a Gage Crit-
ten basket put Wayne Trace on
top 27-15 with 4:24 left in the
half.
Fairview then put together a
9-3 run that brought the
Apaches within 30-24 before a
Dalton Sinn basket just before
halftime gave the red, white
and blue a 32-24 lead at the in-
termission.
“We got a nice shot there by
Dalton just before halftime,
but we didn’t come out and
seize that momentum in the
third quarter,” Linder contin-
ued.
Instead, the stanza was dom-
inated early on by Fairview.
The Apaches opened the
second half with a 12-3 run,
capped by a free throw from
Brett Fitzwater, to take a 36-35
lead.
Wayne Trace picked up bas-
kets from Ryan Kortokrax and
Grady Gudakunst before a
Jerome three-pointer gave the
local squad a 42-38 lead enter-
ing the final stanza.
Fairview scored nine of the
first dozen points in the final
period, using a basket by
Austin Zeedyk to take the lead
for good at 47-45 with 4:18
remaining.
Quenton Yoder followed
with six straight Apache
points and the Raiders never
recovered. Wayne Trace did
get within 53-51 on a Sinn
basket, but could get no
closer.
The Apaches scored seven
consecutive points to seal the
victory, hitting six of seven
free throws in that stretch.
Jerome led the Raiders with
14 points while Sinn added a
dozen and Gudakunst
chipped in 10. Critten also
added nine markers and eight
rebounds for Wayne Trace
with Gudakunst dishing out
five assists.
The Raiders fall to 4-14
overall and 1-6 in the confer-
ence.
Yoder paced all scorers
with 20 points with Tony
Meyer and Jacob Schwiefert
bucketing in 10 each.
The Raider junior varsity
moved to 13-5 overall and 5-
2 in the league with a 40-38
win over the Apaches.
Devon Wenzlick bucketed
15 points for the Raiders with
Korbin Showalter chipping in
seven.
Wayne Trace returns to ac-
tion this evening as the
Raiders host Leipsic in a non-
league, make-up game. The
Raiders then welcome in Ot-
toville Friday evening in the
final home game of the sea-
son.

Paulding girls lose heartbreakingconference finale to Spencerville
By JIM LANGHAMSportswriter
SPENCERVILLE – Foul
trouble proved to be an
achilles heel for the Paulding
girls on Thursday at
Spencerville as the local
squad dropped a 52-50 heart-
breaking loss to the foe
Bearcats.
The Panthers put on a furi-
ous rush in the final minutes,
outscoring the Bearcats 15-7
in the final eight minutes, to
just fall short.
The Panthers sped to an 8-
2 lead early on, but
Spencerville rallied to take
over 13-10 at the end of the
first stop. In the second quar-
ter, Paulding post player Jes-
sica Farr sat out with two
fouls as the Bearcats built a
34-21 lead at the halfway
mark.
Paulding chipped off three
points in the third quarter, in
spite of the fact that Farr took
her third foul early in the
quarter. With 10 seconds to go
in the contest, Panther coach
Lyndsi Shininger set up her
offense the way she wanted
for the tying or winning shot.
“We were down by two
with 10 seconds to go. We got
a really good shot but it just
didn’t go,” said Shininger.
“We played really well in the
fourth quarter. We had people
in foul trouble but we really
tried hard.”
Shininger said that in the
second quarter when Farr got
into foul trouble, her defense
was forced to go into a zone.
Unfortunately, said the men-
tor, Spencerville shot really
well over the zone, especially
Alyssa Mulholland, who hit
three treys to lead the Bearcats
with 19 points.
Ashley Myers was the lead-
ing scorer for Paulding with
17 points while Farr added 11
points for the Panthers.
For Paulding, it was the
final regular season game for
three seniors, Hayley Clellan,
Kass Hammon and Ashley
Myers.
Abbey Edwards led the
Panthers from behind the arc
with two three-point shots.
Paulding finished the regu-
lar season with an overall
record of 8-12 and 4-5 in the
NWC. Spencerville’s record
improved to 7-12 overall and
5-4 in conference play.
“We played a good game.
We had a nice rally at the end.
We had a chance, we had the
perfect shot at the end, but it
just didn’t fall,” noted
Shininger.
