PAULDING Paulding Village Council
heard details of a planned convenience store on
the north side of town during its regular meet-
ing Monday, March 4.
Jack and Paul Grewal from Napoleon are in-
terested in developing the former Paulding-
Putnam building location on North Williams
Street into a convenience-store type of facility.
The C-store would have truck/auto diesel and
gas pumps with a 5,000-square-foot building.
The food service planned for the facility is
different types of chicken and simple sand-
wiches with a drive-through.
Two facility layout options were presented;
one had an entrance with no center traffic con-
trol island and the other proposed entrance
would have a center traffic control island.
Councilman Randy Daeger asked, When
do you plan to open? Paul Grewal responded
that they hope to open this fall.

The Paulding Exempted Schools re-
cently selected their new superintendent
to lead them in the future.
William Hanak, high school principal
at Wauseon High School since 2008,
agreed to a three-year contract and will
begin on Aug. 1.
Hanak is excited about his new posi-
tion and is looking forward to the move.
I am looking forward to this opportuni-
ty. Its been my goal to become a super-
intendent and I believe Paulding is a
good school district, said Hanak.
Prior to serving as high school princi-
pal, Hanak was assistant principal from
2000-08 at Wauseon.
I love Wauseon. My wife is from
Wauseon and we are going to leave be-
hind many good friends and lots of won-
derful memories, commented Hanak.
The move will be a challenging one, but
this is a great opportunity and I am
breathing it all in and looking forward to
building new relationships.
There were 17 applicants who were
seeking the position, according to board
president Greg Reinhart, with six being
interviewed.
Reinhart said Hanak is excited about
moving to Paulding and is looking for-
ward to getting started. He reminded the
board that we would not regret hiring
him.
Talking to Hanak from his office in
Wauseon, he said, When I toured the
schools and their facilities I was so im-
pressed. The facilities are good and the
interview process with the Paulding
school board was very professional. I am
about community and people.
The new superintendent and his wife
have already made a few trips to
Paulding since being hired and are look-
ing at housing and anxious to move. I
believe you live where you work, he
said.

fited financially from open enroll-
ment, whereas Paulding Exempted
Village Schools has suffered.
Reasons for attending a different
district can vary; however in Paulding
County, the three district superintend-
ents echo the same reasons.
Its usually geographical reasons.
A parent works in a different area and
its just more convenient for a parent
to take their child to school on their
way to work, said Steve Arnold, su-
perintendent at Wayne Trace.
Arnold commented how on occa-
sion it is about academics where a stu-
dent will come to a new district be-
cause of the classes being offered.
For Wayne Trace, a student will
often leave in order to attend Paulding
or Antwerp because of location.
We have one of the largest districts
in the state with 179 square miles. A

Its been nearly 25 years since the
Ohio legislators created open enroll-
ment as a pilot program. Four years
later in 1993 the inter-district open en-
rollment policy took effect in Ohio. In
short, open enrollment is when a cer-
tain school district allows a student to
attend their district who lives outside
their regularly assigned school at no
cost to the student.
Most Ohio school districts have
open enrollment with 64 percent offer-
ing state wide open enrollment while
14 percent allow open enrollment with
adjacent districts only.
In Paulding County, all three dis-
tricts (Paulding, Antwerp, and Wayne
Trace) allow statewide open enroll-
ment opportunities. Although open en-
rollment has been in place for several
years, it was just last month the
Cincinnati School Board approved an
open enrollment policy.
Many larger inner-city districts in
places such as Columbus and
Cleveland, widely use open enroll-
ment. The policy was originally de-
signed to provide flexibility to stu-
dents and their parents. One of the
pros is giving students in poorly per-
forming schools the option to attend a
better school nearby.
However, with the pros comes the
cons, and in open enrollment, the
major concern for districts is funding.
State funding is based primarily on
student enrollment. Recent figures
show that each student is worth ap-
proximately $5,000 to $6,000 in fund-
ing to a district. Therefore, if a district
is at a negative where open enrollment
is concerned, then less money is di-
rected to that district. Critics voice
how already struggling districts con-
tinue to suffer from a lack of state
funding due to open enrollment.
In Paulding County, the Antwerp
and Wayne Trace districts have bene-

SPRINGFIELD
Producers of spring-planted
crops interested in buying
crop insurance, or making a
change to an existing policy,
can do so until the March 15,
sales closing date.
Brian Frieden, director of
USDA Risk Management
Agencys Springfield region-
al office, urges producers to
contact a crop insurance agent
for details. Agents can help
producers determine what
policy works best for their op-
eration and review a current
policyholders existing cover-
age to ensure the policy meets
their needs.
Crop insurance can protect
producers from natural disas-
ters like last years drought,
which affected crop yields
across the country.
Producers have a number
of coverage choices, includ-
ing yield coverage, revenue
protection and group policies.
Revenue protection safe-
guards a producer from yield
losses and price movement.
Group policies offer coverage
based on county yield data
and are available in most
counties.

By JOE SHOUSE
Correspondent
The theme for the Paulding
Chamber of Commerces an-
nual banquet was Our Story
and by the time the evening
faded into a memory, their
story had a wonderful ending.
A celebration to recognize
the business community and
the announcement of a finan-
cial partnership for the Herb
Community Park was an-
nounced before a packed
house at Grants Catering fa-
cility outside of Antwerp.
Through the leadership of
the chamber of commerce and
Leadership In Action the com-
munity park named in honor
of Herb Monroe will become a
reality. The community park
and gardens will be located on
the north side of the down-
town square where the former
Certified gas station once oc-
cupied.
Highlighting the chamber
banquet was the announce-
ment by George Carter, repre-
senting Paulding-Putnam
Electric Cooperative, concern-
ing Phase I of the parks con-
struction. Carter informed
those in attendance that
Paulding-Putnam Electric and
State Bank and Trust were
partnering in order to finance
the $30,000 Phase I portion of
the project.
Project chairman Sonya
Herber said, We have been
meeting since last September
and we are ready to break
ground. The first phase of the
three-phase project will in-
clude a stone fountain in the
center of the park, walkways,
and utilities.
In our first phase, we want
to catch the attention of the
community with a big first im-
pression and hopefully they
will get excited about this
project and be supportive in its
completion, said Greg Good,
project manager.
Ron Williamson, chairman
of fund-raising for the park,
shared how LIA has received
$27,500 in donations in the
last three weeks. With the
$30,000 presented at the ban-
quet, more than half of the
$100,000 goal has been
reached.
We will be contacting
every business, church, and
organization in the area for
their financial support, said
Williamson.
Fund-raisers will be taking
place in the near future includ-
ing challenges among the
three county schools and a
spaghetti supper is in the
works at the Paulding
Presbyterian Church where
Herb (Monroe) attended,
Williamson added.
Monroe, for whom the park
is named, moved to Paulding
in the early 1940s and became
the general manager of
Paulding-Putnam Electric
Cooperative. He retired in
1978 but continued to work
part-time at the cooperative an
role and looking at new ideas,
Hanak said he respects the
traditions at Paulding and all
they are doing now, and he
wouldnt change anything.
However, when it comes to
academic goals, he lists:
continued academic success,
long-term financial stability
and success for co-curricular,
curricular and extracurricular
activities.
Wauseon and Paulding are
both exempted village school
districts and have similar en-
rollments about 2,000 and
1,600, respectively.
Comparing Wauseon and
Paulding, Hanak said the dif-
ferences are somewhat geo-
graphic. Wauseon is a bigger
town than Paulding, and the
Paulding district is more
spread out and reminds me a
lot of the Patrick Henry dis-
trict.
Hanak served in the Patrick
Henry School District as a
teacher for 11 years and was a
coach in various sports in-
cluding head coach for the
girls softball team from 1994-
2000.
Hanak received his bache-
lor of science degree from
Muskingum College with a
major in mathematics while
receiving his masters of edu-
cation at the University of
Toledo.
In 1996, Hanak received
his educational specialist de-
gree with his major in admin-
istration and supervision and
his superintendent certifica-
tion in 2001.
Manor House is now Vancrest of Antwerp
By NANCY WHITAKER
Progress Staff Reporter
PAULDING Last Tuesday, a
hearing was conducted on a motion
to seek relief filed last week by an at-
torney representing Vancrest of
Antwerp LLC. The court granted all
the requests.
After the hearing, Mark White,
president of Vancrest Manage ment
Corp., said, The financial situation
for the Manor House has been an un-
fortunate situation and we feel that
court guidance was appropriate given
the number of parties involved, how-
ever, I believe everyone has the staff
and residents best interests at heart.
The three-page motion, which was
filed Feb. 19 had requested three
things of the court:
to require the current tangible
personal property located at 204
Archer Drive and 305 Woodcox
Drive, Antwerp, Ohio to remain at
said location until the issue of title
and liens can be resolved;
to allow Vancrest access to use
said personality for the benefit of the
existing residents until title issues are
resolved with the requirement that
Vancrest pay a fair and reasonable
month rental for said personality;
and
to direct Vancrest as to whom
the monthly rental for the personality
should be paid.
The lawsuit pertained to the furni-
ture and equipment and who has the
right to transfer its ownership inter-
est, White explained.
We got everything we wanted.
Were real comfortable with moving
forward. We will be meeting with
(residents) families on Thursday
night, and we will be taking over on
Friday, March 1, noted White.
White and Vancrest met with em-
ployees and also with families. White
commented, The meetings with the
employees went well as did the fam-
ily meeting. There was a good turn
out of concerned family members
and residents, along with solvable is-
sues concerning the facility.
We emphasized that we needed
time in the facility to observe and
make adjustments to their operations.
We will hold another meeting at a
later date for further discussions.
On Feb. 26, former owner Louis
Lengacher, who had previously
filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy, refiled
for Chapter 7 which means total liq-
uidation.
White said that the Lengachers are
no longer involved in the ownership
or operations of the Antwerp facility.
We have decided to rename the
facility Vancrest of Antwerp.
Multiple factors influenced that deci-
sion, not the least is the fact that the
name Manor House reflected finan-
cial insecurity in the community and
among vendors, said White.
Im sure we will hit some bumps
along the way, but we are committed
to providing first class senior care to
your communities, noted White.
Vancrest is excited about the op-
portunity to serve the residents of the
Antwerp area and we look forward to
being part of the community, he
added. Everyone is looking forward
to getting back to the business of tak-
ing care of people.

The Amish Cook
By: Lovina Eicher
could be getting some down-
drafts, too. They are adding a
fresh air vent to prevent the
build up of carbon monoxide.
With so many gas appliances
running, plus the coal stove,
we need more ventilation.
Our house is so air-
tight and during the winter
months when we dont have
windows to air it out, it builds
up faster.
They tested our propane
gas lights and they throw off
a little too. We use them
longer during the winter
months also. We hope this
will take care of any more
problems. I am glad we had
the carbon monoxide detector
down there.
We received word that
Joes great Uncle Amos died.
We regret that we didnt find
out in time to attend his fu-
neral which was yesterday.
Our sympathy goes to the
family.
The children enjoyed their
two-day mid-winter break. It
went way too fast. Friday
evening and Saturday we
helped Jacob butcher hogs.
They have lots of meat
now. We made pon hoss out
of 12 gallons of juice from
the pork bones. We have had
quite a few meals of it al-
ready. Everyone in our family
likes it.
We have also been using
the fresh sausage Jacob sent
home with us. We use it in
breakfast burritos, casseroles,
gravy, and fry it for sand-
wiches.
We have two hogs on
order, but they are not quite
big enough to butcher. We are
thinking they should be ready
it about 3 weeks. We plan to
cut up a big beef before that.
I will be glad to get those
We are having some snowy
days this week although there
is not much of an accumula-
tion. We have had quite a day
already. Joe left for work
around 3:30 a.m. I had turned
off the light and was ready to
go back to bed until 5 a.m.
I heard an alarm go off in
the basement, so I went to go
out and check it out and it
was a carbon monoxide
alarm. I could smell soot, so I
checked our coal stove, but it
looked ok. I figured that it
might be the gas water heater
and shut it off.
I get worried more since
the fire we had last year and
decided to wake all 8 chil-
dren. I called 911 to ask what
I should do.
They said to get everyone
out of the house and they
would send someone to take
a look. Everyone was still
sleepy and it was difficult to
find clothes and coats by
flashlight. I didnt want to
turn on our gaslights just to
be safe.
Remembering the fire we
had, everyone was shook up
a little more. It was cold and
around 20 degrees outside, so
I told the children to go inside
the tool shed where it would
be warmer.
It ended up that the whole
fire department showed up.
They checked the carbon
count and it was 32 close by
the water heater. It had prob-
ably aired out since I had shut
it off.
Elizabeth didnt go back to
sleep since she leaves for
work around 5:15 a.m. I think
everyone will be ready for
bed early tonight.
We have someone here
now checking out the water
heater. It sounds like we
greasy jobs off the list.
By then it will already be
time to do some spring clean-
ing. Time does not stand still.
Try this sausage and rice

Sunshine Week is March 10-16
Shadows lengthen on
access to public records
By Dennis Hetzel
Every year, Sunshine Week underscores the importance of
open government across the nation. It is a perfect moment to
share concerns in Ohio about ever-growing exceptions to an
open records law that should ensure you have access to infor-
mation about what your government officials do and how
well they do it.
Whether youre a Tea Party activist, just an everyday citi-
zen or an unrepentant liberal, we think you should be able to
agree on this subject. The exception train needs to slow
down.
Ohios statute once was considered a model open records
law nationally. Most public officials are well-intentioned,
and its often the case that each idea for a new exception has
a justification that appears reasonable in isolation. It is the
cumulative effect that alarms us.
We now have 29 categories of records that are secret under
Ohio law. Theyve run out of single letters, so the latest ex-
ception was lettered cc. I have seen proposals already in
the new legislative session involving fees for county recorder
records, new restrictions on school-related records and more.
Certain categories require repairs, too. For example, the lack
of information on how taxpayer money is being spent at
many Ohio charter schools should be fixed.
Government is a custodian of public records, not the
owner. Restrictions on access should leap a high bar; there
should be no reasonable doubt that secrecy is the better op-
tion.
For example, no one would argue that everything in an ac-
tive criminal investigation should be public record. However,
did you know that a criminal case file isnt considered closed
in many Ohio jurisdictions if the defendant ever could file
something in the case for any reason? This blocks the work
of not only journalists but also organizations such as the
Ohio Innocence Project that have freed people from prison
for crimes they didnt commit. (And, by the way, many Inno-
cence Project investigations show that law enforcement ar-
rested the right person.)
Government officials also complain about the amount of
staff time and expense it takes to manage records requests,
particularly with the explosion of records in the Internet age.
Thats a reasonable concern. Still, if there werent so many
exceptions and complexities in our open records laws, it
would be faster to review records with much less need to
redact information by blacking it out either on paper or digi-
tally. In other words, making more records open makes it
easier for government to handle requests.
There have been positive developments in recent months,
too. We urge citizens to make use of the new open records
mediation process announced in 2012 by Ohio Attorney
General Mike DeWine.
His is a good way to resolve disputes without having to
hire a lawyer and go to court, and the process can be initiated
with a simple phone call or filling out a form on the Attorney
Generals website.
However, the program is limited in that both sides have to
agree, and it only applies to local governmental bodies. We
hope a way can be found to expand this in the future. Most
states have a stronger appeal process.
The other aspect of sunshine law involves open meet-
ings. Here, I think the situation is more positive in Ohio. We
only are aware of one pending measure to expand the use of
secret meetings called executive sessions. We would like to
see better record-keeping or recording in executive sessions,
and our association hopes to pursue that idea in the coming
months.
We also have been working positively with government
groups to set good standards for situations in which it might
make sense to allow some members of a board to participate
remotely through audio or video technology.
Please use Sunshine Week to let your elected officials
know that transparency matters. And if you need help mak-
ing contact or need any background information, just let us
know, because a government operating in lengthening shad-
ows will not serve the people properly in the long run.

Craftsman tools
latest casualty
Dear Editor,
I am a proud American
and have in recent years
tried to increase my made
in the U.S.A. purchases.
That is why the most re-
cent casualty to Americas
out sourcing has stunned this
long time tool man. I started
my tool collection when I
was 13 years old on our fam-
ily farm and by the time I
turned 16 I had over $3,000
in tools.
When I was at Wayne
Trace High School, I, along
with a few other FFA stu-
dents, had completely over-
hauled our ag department
tools and tool storage sys-
tem. We purchased a lot of
Craftsman, SK, as well as
some high end Snap-On and
Mac Tools. We were proud
that the ag shop had a better
tool selection of USA tools
than most of the students
family farm shops.
I have since left the farm-
ing industry and started my
own auto repair business in
1998 where buying tools is
still an expensive hobby.
At the end of last year I
had broken one of my 10
Craftsman tape measures
and went back to the store
only to find that they no
longer offer Craftsman tape
measures.
They gave me two options
I could receive a onetime re-
placement with a Stanley
brand tape measure which
Sears will not warranty or I
could receive a cash refund
for the original purchase
price.
In January, I decided that I
needed some additional tool
storage and they had a great
deal on a stainless steel
Craftsman tool box. I pur-
chased the tool box and of
course found made in Tai-
wan on the box.
I did know that their
power tools and tool boxes
had been made overseas for
a while now, so, this wasnt
a huge surprise and the same
toolbox through Snap-On
would have cost me 4xs as
much.
Last night I was back at
Sears trying to get a few
tools replaced and pick-up a
few small items. Upon
closer inspection I found that
Craftsman is starting to
change over their long time
USA brand sockets and
wrenches with ones made in
China. I also found a Crafts-
man pry bar I was looking at
made in Taiwan. Needless to
say I passed on both items
and will opt to put that
money towards my next visit
from the Snap-On truck.

In My Opinion
A moment in the sun
If you live anywhere near where I live in northwest Ohio,
you understand the significance of the calendar turning from
February to March. The flipping of the page brings with it
the promise of long-lost sunshine. For me, a pasty-white per-
son of European descent, its
a much-anticipated event.
According to the website
CurrentResults.com, the
number of sunny days per
year in Ohio is dismally
small. In fact, the number, on
average, barely tops 70. If
you look at the month of February, Ohio gets a lousy four
clear, sunny days. Four. Out of 28! And it wasnt sunny here
last year on February 29 so leap years are no help.
Lets compare that data to the sunniest spot in the United
States: Yuma, Ariz. Generally, its sunny in Yuma 90% of the
time from sunrise to sunset. In fact, with its typical 4300
sunny hours a year, Yuma achieves the world record for most
recorded annual average sunshine, according to the site. In
February, Yuma can expect an average of 16 sunny days.
How about sharing some of that, you sun-greedy Yumans??
I crave sunshine. Like many northerners, after months
without regular exposure to sunshine my mood sags, my Vi-
tamin D level plummets and my productivity wanes. I want
to do as my smart little puppy does in the photo. That is to
find the rare column of sun pouring in from the south win-
dow and just curl up for a snooze. I usually try to sneak off
somewhere warm for a week or so every February, just to
keep from going stir crazy. I also dream about permanently
retiring to someplace warmer and sunnier (Arizona? Florida?
Kentucky?) like so many other snowbirds from my state.
But then I wonder. Would I appreciate the sunshine as
much if it were commonplace? Would I rejoice as I do now
when the rays suddenly break through the clouds and
brighten my whole house? Would I watch the sunrises and
sunsets in awe, or purposely position my arm out the car
window to catch the returning warmth or sit on the dock of
my pond watching the sun turn the water into diamonds?
Probably not. But, I think Id be willing to find out.

In The
Garden
By
Kylee Baumle
Its flower and garden show season
Throughout the year, I at-
tend various home and gar-
den shows, flower shows, and
other horticultural events.
Some of them I return to
every year, which might puz-
zle those who arent as pas-
sionate about gardening as I
am. If youve seen one gar-
den show, youve seen them
all, havent you?
Not by a long shot. Its true
that Ive stopped going to a
couple of them because the
time, energy and the long
drive to and from the events
didnt garner enough return
on my investment. Some
shows are more home than
garden. Im there for the gar-
den.
Local shows tend to be lean
on actual design and land-
scaping ideas, but its nice to
attend early in the season, be-
cause it doesnt take much to
get enthused about the
prospect of digging in the dirt
and implementing the ideas
that have been percolating
through the winter.
Bonus: you can usually
enjoy the fragrance of hy-
acinths in the air as you walk
through the displays.
Of the larger shows Ive at-
tended, one of my favorites is
the Northwest Flower and
Garden Show, held every
February in Seattle. Even
though the unique climate of
the Pacific Northwest (similar
to Englands) allows them to
grow many things we cant,
its also a very cultural area,
lushness and beauty, all in
one place. The Botanical Gar-
dens themselves are well
worth the trip to see them, but
theres been no word that the
show will ever resume.
Cincinnati used to have a
pretty good flower show too,
but that ceased in 2010. Its
disappointing that the two
best shows in our area have
disappeared, with the expla-
nation by people in the know
that the economic climate is
to blame.
The Chicago Flower and
Garden Show at Navy Pier
runs from March 9-17 this
year and if youve not ever at-
tended this one, its the clos-
est location for a decent
flower show available to us
here. For more information,
check their website at
www.chicagoflower.com.
If you do attend one of the
larger shows, keep in mind
that the designs they show
may be over the top and you
might be tempted to look at
them and think, Well, I cant
do this in my garden.
Im willing to bet, though,
that you can find one or two
great ideas that you can incor-
porate in your own landscape.
If not, its still fun to look at
the creativity and dream.

home to artists of all sorts.
This flavors their garden
environments as well as the
inside of their homes, and
basic design principles seen
at the show provide inspira-
tion for gardens of all types
and locations.
The largest flower show in
the country is the Philadel-
phia International Flower
Show, going on now. Mom
and I attended this show in
2011, when the theme was
Springtime in Paris.
Its a little difficult to de-
scribe the scope of this show,
but I felt like I was in a Dis-
neyland for gardeners. All
gardeners should try to attend
this show once in their lives.
Sadly, a couple of my fa-
vorite larger shows are no
longer. The Cleveland Flower
Show used to be held every
two years at the Cleveland
Botanical Gardens, but the
last show was in 2008.
It was here that I first fell in
love with gardening. So much

Payne Friends of the Library
launches annual member drive
PAYNE What is one of your favorite
childhood memories? For many of us, it was
the weekly trip to Paulding to visit the library.
Remember pouring through stacks to find just
the right book? Remember how grown up you
felt when you handed the librarian your very
own library card?
Since 1996, the Friends of the Payne Branch
Library has helped in bringing those same
feelings to the Payne area. Children no longer
have to wait a week to pick out a book. The
branch library, with convenient hours, makes
it easy to visit when you finish that book and
are ready for another.
Who are the Friends of the Payne Branch
Library? Quite simply, the group owns and
maintains the building that the Payne library
is housed in and is responsible for all expenses
related to the building which is gas, electric,
insurance, real estate taxes and general up-
keep.
They are only able to do this with the gen-
erous support from the community. There
have been many projects in the last 17 years.
In the past couple of years alone they have
replaced the main building roof, installed an
improved ventilation system, removed and re-
placed the floor in the back room, made elec-
trical upgrades, replaced water damaged
paneling, painted the interior, and centralized
the computer area.
As with any building, more projects are on
the horizon, including replacing the roof on
the far back addition to the library (a project
that will cost in excess of $4,000).
Please consider renewing an annual mem-
bership or becoming a new member to support
the local library.
Single memberships are $20 and family
memberships are $40. Corporate memberships
are available for $100 and gold memberships
are available for $200.
The Payne Friends of the Library are a non-
profit 501c(3) organization. They will also
gladly accept any additional donations for
continued improvements and operations.
Membership forms are available at the
Payne Library. Membership fees or donations
may be mailed to Payne Friends of the Library
P.O. Box 210 Payne, Ohio, 45880.

A Penny For
Your Thoughts....
By: Nancy Whitaker
PEAS PORRIDGE OR DEAD
RINGER?
There are so many old say-
ings, beliefs and old wives tales
which are passed down
through the years, sometimes it
is hard to distinguish fact from
fiction.
I know there is probably
some type of story as to how
each of these old sayings got
started, so I did some research
on the topic. I was very sur-
prised to find out some of the
stories behind some of the old
sayings so I thought I would
ask you, Did you know?
Years ago urine was used to
to tan animal skins. Now I do
happen to know that statement
is true. It is said that some fam-
ilies in order to survive and
earn a bit of money all used to
relieve themselves in the same
vessel.
Once every day the body flu-
ids were taken to the tannery
and sold. If this was a familys
main source of income and
they had to do this to survive
they were referred to as ps
poor.
Some were even worse off
and could not afford a pot.
They were referred to as not
having a pot to ps in.
Therefore these old sayings
were supposedly derived from
that situation.
The next time you are wash-
ing your hands or taking a
shower and get upset because
you cant get the temperature
regulated, think back of the
way things used to be. This is
how things were supposedly
done way back when.
Most people got married in
June, because they took their
yearly bath in May. By June,
they still smelled pretty good,
but the brides would always
carry a nice bouquet of fresh
flowers to hide any body odor.
Therefore the custom of carry-
ing a bridal bouquet was born.
Baths many years ago, con-
sisted of a big tub filled with
hot water. The man of the
house got the privilege of tak-
ing a bath first in the good hot
clean water. Then all of the
sons and any other men of the
house, followed by the daugh-
ters and the women and young
children.
Getting the last bath were the
babies and by the time it was
their turn, the water was so
dirty you could actually lose
someone in it. Hence the say-
ing, Dont throw the baby out
with the bath water.
In some of those good old
days cooking was done in an
old iron kettle that always hung
over the fire. Every day the fire
was lit and usually more veg-
etables were added to the big
pot. Not a lot of meat was
added because meat was some-
times scarce.
Families would eat the stew
for supper and would leave the
leftovers in the pot overnight.
The whole thing would start
over the next day and some-
times that stew had food in it
that had been there for quite a
while.
I always did wonder about
the old nursery rhyme: Peas
porridge hot, peas porridge
cold, peas porridge in the pot
nine days old.
To me this type of history is
interesting. England is old and
small and the local folks started
running out of places to bury
people. So they would dig up
coffins, take the bones to a
bone-house and reuse the
grave.
It was reported that when re-
opening these coffins, 1 out of
25 were found to have scratch
marks on the inside. People
then realized they had been
burying people alive.
So to solve the problem, they
would tie a string on the wrist
of the corpse, lead it through
the coffin and up through the
ground and tie it to a bell.
Someone would then have to
sit out in the graveyard all night
(the graveyard shift) to listen
for the bell. Thus, someone
could be saved by the bell or
was considered a dead
ringer.
I am not saying that the ori-
gins of these sayings are true or
false, but I do believe they are
food for thought.
Have you ever heard of any
of these old sayings? Have you
ever heard how they got
started? Do you know any old
wives tales? Let me know and
Ill give you a Penny for Your
Thoughts.

Nutrient management is a
critical topic for anyone in-
volved in agriculture. A con-
cern is the wise use of
nutrients to maintain agricul-
tural production levels while
protecting water quality.
Paulding County OSU Exten-
sion and the Paulding County
Farm Bureau are sponsoring
a nutrient management semi-
nar program for anyone who
buys, sells or manages ma-
nure or uses fertilizer.
The program will be held
on Monday, March 18 in the
Paulding County Extension
meeting room located on the
fairgrounds. Registration and
a light dinner will be avail-
able beginning at 6 p.m. with
introductions at 6:30 p.m.
This seminar will focus on
managing nutrients that are
being applied to the ground
and setting up a basic nutrient
management plan.
Speakers for the Paulding
County nutrient management
seminar include Larry An-
tosch, senior director of pol-
icy development and
environmental policy with the
Ohio Farm Bureau, and Joe
Nester, owner and consultant
with Nester Ag.
Antosch will be covering
the high phosphorous level
that has caused the harmful
algae bloom in Grand Lake
Saint Marys and is also an
issue on Lake Erie. He will be
looking at the importance of
the 4Rs, impact of nutrients
on water quality, the benefits
of using manure as a nutrient
and its role in water quality,
voluntary action versus regu-
latory action, and developing
trust with the public regard-
ing this issue.
Nester will be promoting
the use of best management
practices (BMPs), availability
of cost share programs to ad-
dress this specific issue, and
how to set up a basic nutrient
management plan for a farm-
ing operation.
The cost of the program is
free to Ohio Farm Bureau
members and $5 for non-
Farm Bureau members.
Please RSVP by March 13 by
calling 419-523-5874 or by
email at paulding@ofbf.org.
Continuing education units
for certified crop advisors are
being applied for.

Vantage holds open house
BY ED GEBERT
Times Bulletin Editor
VAN WERT With Vantage
staff and students, dressed in
red polo shirts, guiding visitors
through the wide halls, the
community took a good look at
the results of a $35 million ren-
ovation and expansion.
Vantage Career Center took
time to celebrate the grand
opening of the facility with an
open house, showing off the
new building and all its fea-
tures.
The evening began with the
ceremony in the student com-
mons area, featuring key par-
ticipants in the project as well
as honored guests. Following
the ceremony, guests were in-
vited to walk the halls and dis-
cover what had been built over
the past months. And many
people did just that.
It has been a fabulous
turnout so far, remarked su-
perintendent Staci Kaufman di-
rectly after the ceremony. I
really didnt know that wed
have an audience for the cere-
mony.
We wanted one, but this is
better than I could have hoped.
All told, we may have 1,500-
2,000 people in the building
tonight for open house, as well
as to celebrate the end of our
construction project.
The cleanliness and organi-
zation marked a major distinc-
tion from the past 18 months or
so. While the school seemed to
run well despite ongoing con-
struction work, there were in-
conveniences that most had to
deal with at one time or an-
other, such as dust, noise, and
moving classrooms.
With that in the past, Kauf-
man said she is happy to have
the work completed.
It feels great. I think were
going to miss it a little bit, but
not for too long! Its going to
be nice to get back to teaching
and learning and what we do
best. Its so exciting to have
this night finally come, she re-
lated.
At the ceremony, Kaufman,
and board president Lonnie
Nedderman each had a chance
to welcome the visitors and
speak about their own experi-
ences in the Vantage halls dur-
ing the past year and a half.
Many thank yous were ex-
tended toward the general con-
tractor Gilbane, the Ohio
School Facilities Commission,
Garmann/Miller, and the staff
and students of Vantage. More
thanks went to the voters who
passed a 1.05-mill levy in No-
vember 2009.
This project marked the first
upgrade to the Vantage facility
since it first opened to students
in 1976. Over the past few
months, the remaining parts of
the old building were com-
pletely reworked while the new
additions to the building were
constructed. Labs were ex-
panded, and traditional class-
rooms took on a new look with
state-of-the-art technology.
Each of the six phases of the
building project was com-
pleted on time, and the entire
project was not only on time,
but was also slightly under
budget. All parties involved
admitted this was not always
easy to accomplish. Architect
Bruce Miller of
Garmann/Miller Architects
and Engineers was forthright
in his assessment of the diffi-
culty of this project.
He said, I told Staci this
was probably one of the most
difficult designs weve ever
had to complete. We put all
new electrical in, all new
HVAC, all new water lines,
all new heating, and technol-
ogy and fire alarms.
And by doing that, as we
went through the process of
each phase, we had to keep
the old building running
while we were working on
the new. So it was very com-
plex, very complicated.
Gilbane did a wonderful job
coordinating with us through-
out the process. It was really
a team effort.
During his remarks, Chad
Stevers of Gilbane introduced
a group of high school stu-
dents who had participated in
the Junior Builders program.
These students sat in on plan-
ning meetings, did job shad-
owing, and eventually got a
chance to do a job interview,
giving them a chance to de-
velop various skills they will
need as they start to enter the
work force.
The project itself was
funded at 71 percent by the
Ohio School Facilities Com-
mission, with the other 29
percent coming in local funds
from residents living within
the boundaries of the partici-
pating school districts. Kauf-
man noted that the project
was only possible by the pas-
sage of the tax levy back in
2009. Once that passed, the
plans could become more ex-
tensive.
With the additional square
footage and up-to-date equip-
ment, many Vantage pro-
grams will be able to handle
up to three times more stu-
dents. More opportunities
also have been created in
adult education as well. Since
Vantage is considered a big
asset for economic develop-
ment, the win is not just for
the school and the students,
but also the community.

The Paulding Progress &
Weekly Reminder

QUESTION: Our teenage
son is extremely intelligent.
The problem is he only
wants to play video games
all day and night when hes
home. Its a struggle to get
him to do any physical ac-
tivities or even just read a
book. How can I encourage
him to do other things with-
out completely taking his
video games away?
JIM: Youre not alone. A
study by the Kaiser Family
Foundation revealed that kids
aged 8 to 18 now spend more
than seven and a half hours
every day using electronic
gadgets, including game con-
soles!
Its time to go beyond en-
couraging him to do other
things and actually set some
limits. Sit down with him and
explain your concerns in clear
language. Tell him you feel
things have gotten out of
hand and that youre going to
start limiting the amount of
time he spends gaming.
Point out that its important
to live a balanced life that in-
cludes interests outside of
video games; things like read-
ing, spending time with
friends, playing sports or en-
joying the outdoors. Say that
you wont allow any video
games until homework and
chores are complete.
Then be sure to follow
through. Dont back down in
the face of whining and com-
plaining. At worst, you might
need to get rid of the game
console for a time. Most par-
ents who stay strong in this
battle find that their teens
eventually discover that
theres more to life than pix-
els on a screen.
We have implemented this
plan with our own two boys,
ages 10 and 12. We also use
an earn to play system.
Both approaches have
worked well for us.
QUESTIONS: Im a single
father, and Im having a hard
time juggling work, home,
school and my children. I
want to be the best I can be
for them. Do you have any
advice for single dads in these
types of situations?
LEON WIRTH, execu-
tive director of Parenting
and Youth: My heart goes
out to you. We often read
about the plight of single
moms, and rightly so, but
your situation is no less chal-
lenging.
To encourage you, heres
an excerpt from an article that
another single dad, Don Bar-
low, wrote for Focus on the
Family:
In January 1987, my wife
of 12 years died from pancre-
atic cancer. This left me with
the responsibility of raising
my 8-year-old daughter
alone. After the shock of my
wifes death, I became aware
that I knew nothing about
raising a daughter by myself
.
When she was in elemen-
tary school, I became a
Room Father. (When it was
my turn to bring cookies, I
could buy the dough in rolls,
cut it into individual cookies
and bake them.) I helped
coach her softball team. I en-
couraged her involvement in
church activities, so she
would be spiritually
grounded. I enrolled her in
charm school and we joined
ballroom dancing classes to-
gether.
I tried to be involved by
balancing work and family. I
passed up a job at a local uni-
versity because of the posi-
tions frequent out-of-state
travel.
My daughter is 23 years
old now. Like any parent, I
didnt know it would turn out
OK, until it did. It boiled
down to this. Ultimately, the
best gift I could give my
daughter was my time, my
love and my encouragement.
Youre probably thinking,
Thats easier said than done,
and youre right. Youre
going to need all the prayer
and support you can get as
you tackle the challenges of
being a single dad.
But take courage in the fact
that investing time, love and
encouragement in your kids
will reap huge benefits.

Winning the Battle for a Generation
By Rick Jones
exec. director, Defiance Area Youth for
Christ
How do I know which religion is the right
one? Obviously, there are many religions in the
world, but which one is right, how do you know
which one to follow? For one Muslim man, a
simple miracle made all the difference.
In a recent issue of Christianity Today (Janu-
ary 2013), a Muslim man describes his commit-
ment to follow Isa al Masih, Jesus the Messiah.
Surprisingly, a rather ordinary miracle caused
this man to open his heart to Jesus. Heres how
he described the miracle.
One night the only food my wife and I had
was a small portion of macaroni. My wife pre-
pared it very nicely. Then one of her friends
knocked on the door. I told myself, The maca-
roni is not sufficient for even the two of us, so
how will it be enough for three of us? But be-
cause we have no other custom, we opened the
door, and she came in to eat with us.
While we were eating, the macaroni started
to multiply; it became full in the bowl. I sus-
pected that something was wrong with my eyes,
so I started rubbing them. I thought maybe my
wife hid some macaroni under the small table,
so I checked, but there was nothing. My wife and
I looked at each other, but because the guest was
there we said nothing.
Afterward I lay down on the bed and as I
slept, Isa came to me and asked me, Do you
know who multiplied the macaroni? I said, I
dont know. He said, I am Isa al Masih [Jesus,
the Messiah]. If you follow me, not only the
macaroni, but your life will be multiplied.
With regards to determining which religion is
the right one and the vital need to get it right, we
read in scripture, Proverbs 16:25 (NIV), There
is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end
it leads to death.

Business News
Forming a limited liability
company (LLC) can pro-
vide useful shield from lia-
bility and can serve as a
handy estate planning tool
at well (see earlier articles
on LLCs at www.keister-
baker.com). However, if
you are planning to enter a
business venture with an-
other person, you should
first consider several fac-
tors. For example, what
happens if one of you wants
to sell a business interest to
a third party? Or, what hap-
pens if a partner dieswill
you be forced to run a busi-
ness with the surviving
spouse? All of these situa-
tions can cause conflict and
disrupt business. However,
all of these situations can be
addressed ahead of time by
executing a Buy-Sell
Agreement.
Simply stated, a Buy-Sell
Agreement is a contract be-
tween all of the unitholders
(shareholders) of an LLC
that governs every transfer
of units (shares) of an LLC.
And transfers can happen
under various circum-
stanceswhether through a
sale, death, divorce or fore-
closure. Here are a few ex-
amples:
If one partner (a fellow
unitholder) suddenly wants
to sell their interest in the
LLC, a Buy-Sell Agreement
can require that the remain-
ing partner must be given
the option to purchase the
units before any units can
be sold to a third party. This
prevents you from doing
business with a stranger.
Second, a Buy-Sell Agree-
ment can control the sale
price. For example, the
Buy-Sell Agreement can
state that if one party de-
sires to sell, then all of the
business assets must first be
appraised. This can allow
the remaining business part-
ner to have the opportunity
to purchase the units at an
appraised value or at a pre-
viously-agreed discount.
If a business partner dies,
the decedents interest in the
LLC will be distributed ac-
cording to a will or trust.
The most likely result
leaves you in business with
a surviving spouse or their
children. This may put you
in an awkward situation: for
example, perhaps a spouse
is not as agreeable or
knowledgeable as your
original partner. A Buy-Sell
Agreement can solve this
problem by granting the
surviving partner the right
to purchase the business in-
terest outright at an ap-
praised value. This solution
gives all parties an ability to
choose whom they want to
do business with and sets
the price of a sale ahead of
time.
Lets examine a basic estate-
planning scenario: a farmer
transfers farm ground into
an LLC and passes away
thereafter. Each of the
farmers two children now
holds a 50% interest in a
farm operation. After a few
years, one child wants to
cash out of the farm ground
operation. A Buy-Sell
Agreement can force the
child to first offer the farm
ground to the remaining
sibling at an appraised fair
market valueno auctions
here and no dispute as to the
price! An agreement could
even require that the ap-
praised value be discounted.
For example, an Agreement
could require that the sales
price would be 80% of the
appraised value of the farm
ground. In this situation, a
Buy-Sell Agreement would
encourage continued family
ownership. In addition, the
siblings have little to dis-
pute amongst themselves:
everyone has an opportu-
nity to purchase an owner-
ship interest and the pricing
method is settled ahead of
time. Family harmony and
farming continuity is pre-
served.
In summary, a Buy-Sell
Agreement provides cer-
tainty, minimizes conflict
and encourages business
stability.

County celebrates
Ohio 4-H Week
By JIM LANGHAM
Feature Writer
Staci Hiler, 4-H Program As-
sistant for Paulding County, is
smiling these days with the
prospects of the upcoming
Paulding County Fair in early
June and another successful
year of 4-H in Paulding
County.
The fact that the local county
organization is joining other
counties in celebrating Ohio 4-
H Week, March 3-9, only ener-
gizes her spirit.
In December, we went to
schools to promote 4-H with
Junior Leaders, camp coun-
selors and junior fair board
members to to tell kids what 4-
H is all about, observed Hiler.
We talked to every third
grader in all of the county
schools and handed out flyers
to students in grades two
through five.
As a result, said Hiler, this
years program is celebrating
the arrival of 70 new members
into 12 active clubs with 30 ad-
visors. That makes a total of
335 4-Hers in the county this
year, compared to just 270
three years ago.
This years fair will be held
June 10-15.
The celebration of 4-H this
week is so exciting because it
began in Ohio on Jan. 15,
1902, Hiler said. In Clark
County (near Springfield), Al-
bert Belmont Graham, superin-
tendent of Springfield
Township Schools, organized a
meeting with 30 boys and girls
in the county courthouse base-
ment.
Three years later, there
were over 2,000 youth within
16 counties participating in
similar programs to that of the
original agricultural club,
Hiler said.
Graham established a basis
for youth that remains true to
this day through the 4-H em-
phasis, The development of
youth as individuals and as re-
sponsible, productive members
of the community in which
they live.
Originally, the 4-H emblem
had three leaves that stood for
head, heart and hands. Then a
fourth leaf was added symbol-
izing hustle. In 1911, the cur-
rent 4-H logo was adopted,
which represents head, heart,
hands and health.
This years fair theme, Hiler
said, is, Growing and Show-
ing at the Paulding County
Fair.
She noted that 26 members
of the junior fair board help
prepare for the fair and in addi-
tion run the livestock shows
during fair with two junior fair
board advisors.
4-Hers will also be partaking
in this years 4-H camp held at
4-H Camp Palmer near
Fayette. This years theme, a
space theme, is 4-H Camp
Palmer is Out of this World,
and will set the tone for the
camp July 9-13.
This years event will incor-
porate 28 camp counselors and
four Cloverbud counselors.
Cloverbud members, said
Hiler, will be invited to attend
camp on July 12.
Cloverbud members get to
spend the day at the camp that
day, Hiler said.
Cloverbud is open to mem-
bers, age 5 and in kindergarten,
until they are old enough to
participate in regular 4-H at age
8 and in the third grade. This
years Cloverbud theme is fo-
cused around fitness and
healthy eating.
They do a variety of differ-
ent projects, noted Hiler.
They will learn how to be
more physically active and
how to make healthy snacks.
This year, 4-H members
have over 200 different proj-
ects that they can choose
from, Hiler said. Preparation
for this years fair is right upon
us.
Livestock exhibitors are in-
volved with Quality Assurance
on March 21 from 6-8 p.m. and
March 23, 9-11 a.m. in the Ex-
tension hall. Hiler emphasized
that exhibitors and a parent or
legal guardian must attend.
On Saturday, April 6, from
9-11 a.m., there will be tagging
and weigh-in of swine, goats,
sheep and feeder calves.
May 4, from 9-11 a.m., there
will rabbit tattooing that is re-
quired for meat pens and single
fryer rabbits.
On that same day, we will
have spring work day at the
fairgrounds, said Hiler. This
day will be filled with 4-H
clubs and volunteers helping
prepare the fairgrounds for our
early June fair.
Skill-A-Thon will be held
May 29 from 2-5 p.m. in the
Extension hall in which mem-
bers come in and bring their
completed record books for
each species they exhibit along
with knowing the parts, breed
and medication label.
This year we are having
something new at the fair. On
June 12, we are having a 4-H
Alumni Day, observed Hiler.
We will set up a 4-H Alumni
tent, complete with 4-H memo-
rabilia and various other dis-
plays of interest for those who
are alumni participants to 4-H.
Hiler said that former 4-Hers
are invited to bring pictures,
project books and any other
items from their 4-H experience.
Please contact Staci at 419-399-
8225 if you have some 4-H
memorabilia.

The Paulding Putnam Electric Trust Operation Round-Up
program has granted $5,150 to five organizations for the fourth
quarter of 2012. Melrose United Methodist Church received a
$1,000 grant to be used for handicapped accessibility within the
church. Here, trust president Ray Etzler presents the grant to
Genevieve Noggle of the Melrose UMC. The trusts purpose is to
distribute gifts which will benefit people in the communities
served by PPEC.
The Paulding Putnam Electric Trust Operation Round-Up
program has granted $5,150 to five organizations for the fourth
quarter of 2012. Blessings in a Bag received a $2,000 grant to be
used to provide nutritious weekend meals for children in need.
Trust president Ray Etzler presented the award to Kelsi Manz,
who brought the idea for the program to Paulding Schools. The
trust receives money through monthly contributions from mem-
bers rounding up their electric bill to the next whole dollar. Do-
nations are used to distribute gifts which will benefit people in
the communities served by PPEC.
The Paulding County Area Foundation has granted $3,000 to
four organizations in Paulding County for the year ending 2012.
The Paulding County Area Foundations purpose is to receive,
grow and distribute gifts for the benefit of the people of Paulding
County. Friends of the Payne Branch Library was awarded $750
to be used toward repairs to the building that houses the library.

student may live near Payne
but is four miles from Antwerp
and 14 miles from WTHS,
said Arnold.
On the flip side, Wayne
Trace has some increase due to
open enrollment in gaining
students from Paulding and
Crestview. Again, its still
about location. Scott is a part
of Wayne Trace, but just south
of Scott is the Crestview dis-
trict and we have students in
that area attending here, com-
mented Arnold.
Like Wayne Trace and
Antwerp, the Paulding Ex-
empted Village School system
offers statewide open enroll-
ment. The district is hardest hit
by open enrollment with a net
loss of 186 students.
State funding that the district
will miss is based on the local
tax base, the number of kinder-
garten students (half funding)
and those with special educa-
tion needs.
According to interim super-
intendent John Basinger, the
total per student could be as
much as $6,000. Its a large
number of people in a district
that has 1,575 students. We
discovered through a survey
we conducted in the last cou-
ple of years that students trans-
fer because of location, said
Basinger.
Paulding, like its friendly
rival to the south, is a large dis-
trict of nearly 175 square miles
and therefore borders several
school districts. We have stu-
dents who have left Paulding
to attend Wayne Trace,
Antwerp, Continental and
Fairview. Its for the simple
reason a student lives closer to
a particular district and so they
have taken advantage of the
open enrollment opportunity,
Basinger said.
He cited an example of stu-
dents living on the other side
of Oakwood, but living closer
to Continental and attending
that district because of location.
In some cases its about loy-
alty to a school. Mom or dad
attended an area school and al-
though they may not currently
live in the district, they live
close enough for their children
to attend without it being a bur-
den.
Antwerp is a much smaller
district, consisting of 65 square
miles, but open enrollment has
helped bring additional dollars
to their district. Pat Ross, for-
mer Paulding superintendent
and now filling that same posi-
tion at Antwerp, has only been
at her new assignment for a
couple months, but she is quick
to point out the reasons for
open enrollment in her district.
Its loyalty to the school
and for convenience. Kids are
coming to Antwerp because
mom and dad came to
Antwerp. Another reason is
how a mother has child care in
the district and she can drop her
child off at the babysitter or at
school and a routine is estab-
lished with appropriate child
care that benefits the parent,
said Ross.
A total of 68 students that are
coming to Antwerp are from
Paulding, Wayne Trace,
Hicksville, Fairview and Defi-
ance, while just 22 are leaving
the Antwerp district and attend-
ing the same areas schools.
With the net increase of stu-
dents Ross said her district will
receive an additional $212,000
once adjustments are made.
School districts can choose
to accept students from adja-
cent districts or from anywhere
in the state, or they can restrict
enrollment to district residents.
All three Paulding County dis-
tricts currently allows
statewide open enrollment.
Districts can set limits on
how many students they ac-
cept. This is based on capacity.
Districts also can turn down
students with disabilities if they
dont already offer the required
services, and students who re-
cently have been suspended or
expelled for at least 10 days.
No district can stop a resi-
dent student from going to an
open enrollment district.
Students using open enroll-
ment can get whatever trans-
portation is offered to
students who live in the dis-
trict. But the receiving district
is required to make pickups
and drop-offs only at their
regular bus stops.
When a student leaves, ap-
proximately $5,700 is deducted
from the home districts budget
and sent to the enrolling dis-
trict. The amount may be larger
for a student in special educa-
tion while a kindergarten stu-
dent attending half-days would
qualify for half the amount.
SEUSSICAL COMING MARCH 15-17 The Wayne Trace Performing Arts Association is pleased to announce the upcoming musical,
Seussical, presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International, New York. This energetic musical by Stephen Fla-
herty and Lynn Ahrens is guaranteed fun for everyone. Remember the Cat in the Hat, Horton the Elephant, and all the well-loved characters
in Dr. Seusss classic books? The Wayne Trace Jr./Sr. High School students will bring them to life with a twist. Under the direction of
Miss Sharon Spinner, this 56-member cast has been working hard to bring audiences an evening of entertainment. Join them on Friday,
March 15 and Saturday, March 16 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, March 17 at 2:30 p.m. at Payne Elementary Auditorium. Doors open 45 minutes
before performances and doors into the auditorium 30 minutes prior. There is a handicap accessible door on the east side through the
cafeteria and elevator in the hallway to the second floor. Ticket prices are $7 for adults and $5 for children through high school students.
Daeger inquired about hours of operation, and Grewal responded
that they planned to start by opening at 5 a.m. and closing at mid-
night, but if business was good they would go to a 24/7 operation.
The Grewals represent TravelCenters of America and operate
the Napoleon Truck Stop on Industrial Drive in Napoleon.
A planning commission meeting was set for 4 p.m. today, March
6, in council chambers to discuss this development in further de-
tails. The public is welcome to attend this meeting.
Council President Roger Sierer reported the water treatment
plant construction project is on schedule. It was behind schedule,
but once the building was closed in and under roof, the contractors
were able to gain the lost days due to no more weather delays.
The water plant commissioning is scheduled April 13-May 13.
The commissioning is when water is run through the system to
check and inspect pumps, values and piping connections for leaks
and pressure, and how the computers respond to commands. Once
the commissioning is complete, the plant will be put in service,
possibly sometime in June if not sooner. The water plant comple-
tion date is scheduled for Sept. 13.
Sierer also reported the sewer separation project is going fine.
The contractor lost two days due to weather, but by working on
Fridays, the project is now back on schedule. As weather permits,
work will be done at various locations around town.
All fence and backstop repairs are completed at Jeffery Park,
and at the water park, all lifeguard and concession interviews are
complete. Eleven new lifeguards are taking training March 9
through May 7.
Sale of Hotel Barnes property is at 10:15 a.m. Thursday, March
7 at the courthouse.
The next regularly scheduled council meeting will be held at
6:30 p.m. Monday, March 19.

Honorable Mention
Antwerps Alexis Jones
was voted the Paulding
County Girls Basketball
Player of the Year for 2012-
13 by the Paulding County
Progress in voting recently
by coaches and media
members.
Jones received every
player of the year vote, join-
ing former Antwerp players
Bryn Schlatter (twice) and
Debbie Koenn as All
County Players of the Year.
The senior guard for the
blue and white averaged
19.1 points per game on the
season and crossed the
1,000 point plateau in her
senior year as well.
Jones added 61 assists
and 42 steals for Antwerp
while grabbing 52 rebounds
on the season. She also
paced the Lady Archers in
3-point field goals made
(35) and in free throws, hit-
ting 104 of 128 for 81.3 per-
cent.
She meant a lot to us,
noted Archer head coach
Kevin Taylor. One of the
big things I thought she did
a nice job of this year was
improving her shot selection
and trying to get the other
girls involved in the offense.
Her leadership was tremen-
dous and she really worked
on improving the team as a
whole. She put in a lot of
time over the summer to im-
prove her strength and be-
come a better shooter.
Three Paulding players
and a pair of Wayne Trace
girls garnered First Team
honors.

vs. Edgerton/Pettisville winner at
7 p.m., played at Napoleon
Four county wrestlers compete at state
Tyler Ash of Paulding (right) wrestles Corey Ginn of West Jefferson in the opening round of
the state wrestling tournament.
COLUMBUS Paulding
and Wayne Trace both sent
wrestlers to the OHSAA state
wrestling tournament this
past weekend. George
Clemens, Dustin Taylor and
Sawyer Temple represented
WT, and Tyler Ash was the
lone wrestler for Paulding.
All wrestlers are placed in a
16-man bracket depending on
their placement at districts the
prior week.
Senior 220 pounder Tyler
Ash pitted his 38-9 record
against Philo district champ
Corey Ginn, 49-3, from West
Jefferson. This was Tylers
second trip to state. He wres-
tled his beginning match very
solid, but dropped the match,
5-3.
Dropping into the consi
bracket, Tyler next faced
Garfield Heights district run-
ner-up Caleb Fry, 33-4, from
Middlefield Cardinal. For his
last match as a Panther, Tyler
competed the entire six min-
utes, but ultimately came up
short, losing 6-2.
Freshman George Clemens
was competing in his first-ever
state tournament at 106
pounds. Finishing third at dis-
tricts and with a 45-1 record,
George faced Philo district run-
ner-up Theodore Zoumpolidis.
Wrestling aggressively,
Clemens recorded his first state
win by a decision of 11-6.
Next, he competed against
Garfield Heights district cham-
pion Sebastian Vidika, 39-1,
from Black River. George was
unable to get much going in
this match and was handed his
second loss of the season by a
decision of 5-0. His state tour-
nament ended with his next
loss to Shane Johnston, 44-8,
of Massillon Tuslaw. George
was in this match till the end
and had a chance late, but
ended up on the short end, 4-2.
Dustin Taylor made his first
trip to state in the 113 pound
weight class. Finishing districts
in fourth and with a record of
33-13, he faced Philo district
champ Caleb Ohl, 34-3, of
Newark Catholic. Taylor bat-
tled hard, but dropped his first
match. Carson Mengerink, 38-
7, of Upper Sandusky, was his
next opponent, and Taylor fell
short in that match as well.
Wayne Traces only state
placer and making his second
trip to the Schott, senior
Sawyer Temple, faced a rough
draw into his bracket. Finishing
fourth at districts, Sawyer had
to face a district champ. Bowl-
ing Green district winner Jared
Mattin, 36-7, would be
Sawyers opponent. Sawyer
went the distance, but dropped
the match, 8-0.
Falling into the consi
bracket, Sawyer faced Philo
district runner-up Zach Gib-
son, 42-6, from Bloom-Car-
roll. Sawyer did not have
enough to oust Gibson and
fell in this match, 12-4.
Sawyer wrestled his last
match as a Raider on the floor
of the Schottenstein Center in
Columbus.
Wrestlers always hear and
coaches always say that any-
thing can happen at state
you just have to get there.
There were numerous upsets
the entire tournament, but the
goal is always to get to
Columbus, to be in that final
bracket of 16.
The competition is so in-
tense, so equal. There is never
an easy match down here and
all the wrestlers are very tal-
ented. It is just an accom-
plishment to get here,
commented Coach Stabler.
Coach Clemens was quick
to point out that, obviously,
you would like to see your
wrestlers win it all.
I am really proud of all
three wrestlers. What an ac-
complishment for Sawyer to
return after placing last year
and the other two to make
their first trip. All three of
them wrestled to the best of
their ability against the tough-
est competition the state has
to offer. Thats all you can
hope for as a coach, com-
mented Clemens.
After their hard-fought bat-
tles and losses, the coaches
had one comment for all three
of them: When you take
your shoes off today, they are
coming off in Columbus.
The Paulding County
wrestling community would
like to congratulate the four
county wrestlers on their suc-
cess this season and for rep-
resenting the county and their
respective schools in Colum-
bus. Also, would like to wish
Tyler and Sawyer success in
whatever path they choose
following high school, and
George and Dustin another
successful season next year.

Defensive minded Archers are sectional champs
By JOE SHOUSE
Sportswriter
PAULDING Sectional
champs! Not many people
gave the Antwerp Archers
much of chance to claim the
title, but a group of players
believing in themselves and a
hard working coaching staff
proved otherwise.
Entering the tournament,
Antwerp faced a tall and tal-
ented Miller City (16-7) team
last Wednesday and after
fighting from behind and
trailing by as many as eight
late in the third quarter, the
Archers took a lead at 29-28
for good midway through the
fourth quarter and hung on
for a 37-33 win. (See related
story.)
In the earlier game that
night, Holgate defeated Con-
tinental 20-18 after Continen-
tal built a 15-10 advantage
heading into the final eight
minutes of play. After scoring
just 10 points in the first three
quarters Holgate answered
with 10 in the fourth while
holding the Pirates to just
three.
Both Holgate and Antwerp
returned to Paulding on Fri-
day night for the title match
up featuring the two Green
Meadows Conference teams.
In another slow down defen-
sive struggle the Archers
never trailed, and with clutch
free throw shooting down the
stretch, Antwerp outlasted
their conference rival, 29-24.
The sectional title moved
the Archers to Napoleon for
District play against Fayette.
Earlier in the season, the
Archers defeated Holgate,
31-26.
In a game where defense
ruled and shots were few, it
was free throw shooting that
was the difference. The
Archers were 12-of-19 from
the line while Landon Grim
went to the line for three Hol-
gate free throws hitting just
once.
From the field, Antwerp
was 4-of-11 from 2-point
range and 3-of-5 from behind
the arc while turning the ball
over 11 times.
In the first half, Noah
Ganger scored Antwerps first
four points with a field goal
in the first quarter and his
second coming early in the
second. Derek Smalley and
Braeden Hormann each
scored from behind the arc to
account for Antwerps 10 first
half points.
Defensively the Archers
held Holgate scoreless until
1:02 of the first quarter when
Jake Aelker scored on a short
jumper.
Holding a 10-6 advantage
at intermission, the Archers
opened the third period with
a Smalley triple from the top
of the key to give the blue and
white a seven-point cushion,
13-6.
That three in the third
quarter felt good, said Smal-
ley as he stood under the bas-
ket clutching a piece of the
victory net. Smalley had been
nursing an ankle injury enter-
ing the tournament, but man-
aged to start in both games
while contributing eight
points including two key free
throws with under a minute
remaining.
Late in the third quarter
with Antwerp holding a slim
three-point lead at 14-11,
Ganger had the play of the
game when he rebounded
his own miss with time run-
ning down, and while collect-
ing himself along the baseline
the 6-foot-4 senior banged in
a 10-footer as the horn
sounded ending the third pe-
riod.
Ganger ended with 12
points to lead the Antwerp of-
fensive attack, but it was the
defense he was most proud of
following the game.
We changed up our de-
fense from a box-in-one, to a
diamond and two, and a 1-3-
1 and it kept them (Holgate)
guessing. Our defense was
good and we were trying to
cut down on our turnovers,
said Ganger.
Antwerp ended the night
with 11 turnovers.
Another individual high-
light sparking the Archer win
came when Antwerp held an
18-15 lead and Holgate came
up empty on three misses.
Working the ball with just
under two minutes remaining,
Smalley spotted Andy Cole-
man breaking towards the
basket and Smalley con-
nected with Coleman on the
fly who scored off the glass
and was fouled in the process.
Coleman, who shoots just 30
percent from the line, calmly
sank the free throw.
Its no secret about my
free throw shooting and the
team has been telling me to
just concentrate, but I cant
tell you what they told me to
concentrate on, Coleman
said with a laugh. I just went
to the line and felt confident.
Standing near center court,
coach Scott McMichael
scanned the crowd and said
WIN GIRLS TOURNAMENT The Paulding Fifth Grade Pink Lady Panthers went to Pioneer for a girls tournament March 2. The
girls played great defense defeating Pittsville, Mich., 25-9, in the first game and then beat North Central 29-3, putting the Panthers
in finals against Fremont, Ind. The girls again played a suffocating defense and hot shooting from Syd McCullough, Sierria Ku-
persmith and Ivy Riggenbach to lead the Panthers to a 21-11 victory and first place. The girls will be traveling to Bluffton, Ohio,
March 9 and at Antwerp March 16 for tournaments. Team members include Syd McCullough, Sidney Kohart, Katie Strayer, Sierria
Kupersmith, Ivy Riggenbach, Miah Rue, Megan Garrity and Julia Fife. Coaches are Sam Rue, Matt Strayer and Ron Riggenbach.

WT falls to Tinora in sectional final
By KEVIN
WANNEMACHER
Sportswriter
DEFIANCE In a battle of Green
Meadows Conference rivals, it was
Tinora who made the plays down the
stretch as the Rams posted a 55-48 win
over Wayne Trace in Division III sec-
tional final action at Defiance High
School Friday evening.
The Rams recorded their fifth consec-
utive victory over the Raiders in the past
three seasons to advance to Thursdays
district semifinal against Archbold at
Napoleon High School. Ottawa Glandorf
and Evergreen will square off in the
other semifinal Thursday.
Wayne Trace had chances but failed to
take advantage of early opportunities to
seize control of the contest. The Raiders
end their season with a record of 20-3,
posting the tenth 20-win season in
school history.
The two squads traded point for point
early on in the contest before the Raiders
grabbed an 18-15 edge with a Nick Mc-
Clain basket closing the first quarter
scoring. Seniors Grady Gudakunst and
Dalton Sinn combined to score ten
points in the opening stanza for the
Raiders.
Wayne Trace got baskets early from
Sinn and Gudakunst in the second period
to take a 22-16 advantage before Tinora
rallied.
Buckets by Cameron Harris and Derek
Drewes trimmed the Ram deficit to 22-
20 but a Gudakunst 2-pointer widened
the lead to 24-20 for Wayne Trace.
With the Raiders on top 28-25, a 3-
point play by Drewes knotted the contest
at 28-28 at the intermission.
They wore us down a little bit there
in the second quarter and they were able
to take advantage, noted Raider head
coach Jim Linder. Tinora was able to
push the tempo a little bit and we didnt
always make good decisions as a team.
They defended well too so it made it dif-
ficult to score.
Tinora took its first lead since the first
minute of the game, using a free throw
from Sam Lehman and a Drewes basket
to go on top 33-30 in the third quarter.
Two Ryan Kortokrax baskets quickly
put the Raiders on top, 34-33, but it
would be the final lead for Wayne Trace.
A Lehman 3-point play and two foul
shots by Brevin Renollet gave Tinora a
38-34 advantage it wouldnt relinquish.
Sinn picked up a late basket for Wayne
Trace to get the Raiders within 38-36 at
the end of three periods.
Tinora played well and it was a hard
fought, physical game, Linder contin-
ued. Each team had opportunities to
make plays. They stepped up and hit
some big free throws.
The Rams took their biggest lead of
the night at 44-38 after two Lehman foul
shots before one final run by the Raiders.
Colby Speice connected on two treys
on consecutive Raider possessions to get
the red, white and blue within 45-44 with
3:51 remaining but Tinora answered.
Drewes final bucket of the game
made it 47-44 before a Renollet foul shot
pushed the lead to 48-44. It then became
a free throw shooting contest, with the
Rams getting two each from Alec Frank,
Drewes and Robert Wuo to seal the vic-
tory.
I am extremely proud of this senior
class, Linder concluded. They are
going out as Green Meadows Confer-
ence champions and posted a 20-win
season.
Drewes led the Rams with 17 points
and 14 rebounds while Frank added
eight markers. Tinora finished the night
17 of 49 from the field (35 percent) and
18 of 31 at the charity stripe (58 percent).
Lehman also picked up eight boards for
the green and white.
Gudakunst closed his career at Wayne
Trace with a team high 14 points while
adding two steals. Sinn wrapped up the
season with 10 points, 11 rebounds, three
assists and three steals against the Rams.
Nick McClain posted six markers for the
Raiders while grabbing three boards.
Ryan Kortokrax chipped in ten points
and a dozen rebounds.
Corbin Linder also added 10 rebounds
for the Raiders, who won the battle of
the boards 43-34. Wayne Trace also had
16 turnovers compared to Tinoras 10.
The red, white and blue hit 23 of 60
shots (38 percent) from the field and
missed all three free throw attempts.
RAIDER NOTES Sinn closes his
career with 695 points, putting him 21st
on the career scoring list. Gudakunst
wraps up his Wayne Trace career at 571
points, which slots him into 31st on the
Raider scoring list. Sinn ends with 140
steals in a Raider uniform to move into
fifth all time while also taking 16th in ca-
reer assists with 155. Gudakunst is now
tied for 10th in career assists with 177.

Kaleb Clemens #22 dives for the ball
Tough way to go out
says Panther coach
Guy Harder #40 scores near the end of the game.
Paulding senior Trey Schroeder #55 scores inside.
Lance Foor #24 slams down two against Tinora.
By JIM LANGHAM
Sportswriter
DEFIANCE After work-
ing themselves into the lead
early in the fourth quarter at
last weeks district game
against Tinora, the Paulding
Panthers faded in the face of
Ram aggressiveness and of-
fensive attack in the final
minutes of the game to lose a
62-59 heartbreaker to Tinora.
After trailing 30-26 at the
half, Paulding battled back to
grab a 41-37 lead heading
into the final eight minutes.
The Panthers continued to put
the heat on early in the fourth
stanza and when Guy Harder
turned in a three-point play,
the local squad was basking
in a 50-42 lead with six min-
utes remaining in the contest.
But no one told the Rams
to go away and a basket by
Tinoras Derek Drewes with
5:30 remaining in the game
initiated a 15-5 run that
vaulted the Rams into a 57-55
lead once again late in the
contest.
However, Paulding coun-
tered on a basket by Trey
Schroeder to tie the score at
57-57 with just over two min-
utes to go in the contest.
But a pair of free throws by
Sam Lehman put the Rams
on top, 59-57. Then, with 5.8
minutes remaining, Tinoras
Robert Wuo was fouled and
connected on one of two from
the free throw line to give the
Rams the permanent go-
ahead point, 60-57. Kurt
Kahle then hit two shots from
the foul line to lift the Rams
to a five-point 62-57 advan-
tage.
The Panthers refused to
give in as a quick shot by Neil
Roehrig made it 62-59 with
three seconds left to go in the
game. Paulding almost turned
the trick into overtime when
Caleb Klemens intercepted a
Tinora pass at mid-court and
fired a 30-foot shot that just
hit the back of the iron and
popped out as the buzzer
sounded.
Its tough to go out this
way, said Paulding head
coach Shawn Brewer.
Youve got to credit Drewes
(who scored six treys for the
contest). He made the shots
when they needed them. He
did what he had to do to give
them the offense.
Im proud of our guys.
They came to play; they just
didnt finish. Our defense
broke down a little. We made
the big plays but we just
didnt finish. I thought we ex-
ecuted extremely well,
Brewer said.
Brewer said that the Pan-
ther defense allowed the
Rams to slash through the
middle and get some back
door tallies to allow them
back into the game.
Two good teams came out
and played tonight, added
Brewer. It was close; it went
back and forth. Its too bad
that two such good teams had
to meet this early in the tour-
nament.
Julian Salinas, who was on
fire early, led the Panthers
with 11 points while Drewes
led all players with 23 points
for Tinora.
Paulding ends its season at
16-7 after ending conference
play at 5-4.

Foor named NWC
Player of the Year
Pauldings Lance Foor was recently voted Northwest Con-
ference Player of the Year in voting by the leagues coaches.
Foor led the Panthers by averaging 15.9 points per game to
go along with 108 rebounds, 67 assists and 49 steals. The Pan-
ther senior also connected on 13 treys this season and hit 75
percent at the charity stripe (63 of 84).
Lance had a tremendous year for us, noted Panther head
coach Shawn Brewer. He put the team first and did what was
best for the team. His versatility and ability to score in multiple
ways and made him tough for teams to defend. Lance was a
great leader for us this year and did everything we could ask.
Panthers tied for fifth in the league with a 5-4 record.

Free throws propel Antwerp past Miller City
By JOE SHOUSE
Sportswriter
PAULDING In their
opening tournament game
against Miller City last
Wednesday, it appeared the
Archers were in for a long
night midway through the
second quarter. After holding
an 8-5 lead after one period of
play, Antwerp was forced into
eight turnovers while the
Wildcats outscored them 11-
3 to take an 17-11 lead to the
locker room.
Miller City opened the
third quarter with a put back
from Ross Kaufman to give
Miller City their largest lead
at 19-11. Entering the final
quarter the Archers trailed 23-
18 and following another
Miller City field goal,
Antwerp answered with a
couple of 3-point plays from
Derek Smalley and Noah
Ganger to trim the Tigers
margin to just two, 28-26.
A Miller City turnover al-
lowed the Archers to get the
ball back and respond with a
trey from senior Braeden
Hormann to put the Archers
on top, 29-28.
With the Archer lead at
one, the blue and white would
stay in control with solid free
throw shooting.
Kaden Brumett was near
perfect from the line in the
final few minutes, hitting 7-
of-8. Brumett was the top
scorer for Antwerp with 10
points.
Free throw shooting was
key tonight and Brumett hit-
ting those shots at the end
was key to our win, said
head coach Scott McMichael.
Like the sectional title
game against Holgate (see re-
lated story), it was free throw
shooting that was the differ-
ence. The Archers were 12-
of-21 from the stripe while
Miller City was good on just
6-of-13.
It was a tough game and
with Noah (Ganger) needing
to sit out due to foul trouble
in the first half I thought we
weathered the storm and then
we hit our foul shots in the
fourth quarter once we got the
lead, said McMichael.
Archer Derek Smalley #3 shoots after driving the lane on the
Miller City defense.
Noah Ganger #24 gets past his defender for a shot late in the
game.

Social Security and
March Madness
By Erin Thompson
Social Security public
affairs specialist
Its that time of year.
Basketball fans are gearing
up for March Madness, a
time when the final four
teams in the NCAA fight
for the title of national
champion.
While basketball fans are
excited about March
Madness, Social Security
already has a winning final
four of online services to
cheer about. It is our new
Social Security service
which is the retirement esti-
mator, online benefit appli-
cation, and online extra help
application! Lets take a
look at the lineup.
My Social Security is an
online account that allows
you quick access to your
personal Social Security
information. During your
working years, once you
create your online account,
you can use My Social
Security to obtain a copy
of your Social Security
statement to check your
earnings record and see esti-
mates of the future retire-
ment, disability, and sur-
vivor benefits you and your
family may receive.
If you already receive
Social Security benefits,
you can now sign into your
account to view, save, and
print your benefit verifica-
tion letter, check your bene-
fit payment information,
and even change your
address and phone number
in our records.
You also can start or
change your direct deposit
information.
The retirement estimator
is an easy way to get an
instant, personalized esti-
mate of your future Social
Security benefits. Just key
in some basic information
and the Estimator will use
information on your Social
Security record, along with
what you input, to give you
a benefit estimate on the
spot. You even
can experiment with differ-
ent scenarios, such as
changing your future earn-
ings and retirement date.
The online benefit applica-
tion is the most convenient
way to apply for Social
Security retirement bene-
fits. You can apply from the
comfort of your home and
its fast, easy and secure. Its
so easy, in fact, it can take
you as little as 15 minutes to
apply online.
In most cases, once your
application is submitted
electronically, youre done.
There are no forms to sign
and usually no documenta-
tion is required.
Social Security will
process your application
and contact you if any fur-
ther information is needed.
The online extra help
application is an easy way to
save about $4,000 a year on
your Medicare prescription
drug costs. To qualify for the
extra help, you must be on
Medicare, have limited
income and resources, and
live in one of the 50 states or
the District of Columbia.
Social Securitys online
services continue to hold the
top spots for customer satis-
faction. In the recent
American Customer
Satisfaction Index quarterly
report, Social Security con-
tinued to score higher than
the best private online serv-
ices, including Amazon.

winning online services,
